Just 37 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: I don't even know what to begin, y'all, Marshawn was. 38 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 8: Good kid. 39 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: Losing him at twenty four. 40 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: I mean, you go into the room and he like, 41 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: literally is that bright spot? And unfortunately the Cowboys. 42 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 4: No longer have him here. 43 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: Ladies go ahead, chime in, because I don't know if 44 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: I'm to be able to do this one. 45 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: So I'm need y'alls help today. 46 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 7: He was always bright and jolly, always had the smile 47 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 7: and seemed lighthearted. And that's why when you hear that 48 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 7: it was self inflicted, that that to me what was 49 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 7: truly shocking was because those you know, I think a 50 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 7: lot of the public that doesn't have a lot of 51 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 7: hopefully most people have not had to deal with this 52 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 7: kind of of tragedy, but you think people would be 53 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 7: like brooding into themselves and sad and morose, and Marshawn 54 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 7: was on the exterior to those you know tangentially around him, 55 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 7: it was just the opposite. And so that's what caught 56 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 7: me so off guard. I don't know if y'all felt 57 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 7: the same way. 58 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, I was avoiding this podcast because I knew this 59 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 9: was something we would have to get through. It was 60 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 9: something you were hoping that wasn't true. Like Christy said, 61 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 9: to think of it being self inflicted. I'm thinking of 62 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 9: the quote I saw from Solomon Thomas saying that, you know, 63 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 9: he wished his teammate would have known how much that 64 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 9: they wanted him to stay. Being in this situation, you 65 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 9: just start to see so many people in the community, 66 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 9: some people that have been covering this beat for so long, 67 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 9: starting to share their stories. And I think that's what 68 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 9: Marshawn Neland has done for this DFW community, has opened 69 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 9: up conversations. We know Dak Prescott, Solomon Thomas are advocates 70 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 9: of mental health and this is why, because it is real. 71 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 9: Mental health is something that especially when we're talking about 72 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 9: men Black men, don't talk about a lot. It's not 73 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 9: I know there was reports and they're like, why would. 74 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 3: He do this? 75 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 9: It's being close to this topic and being affected by this, 76 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 9: losing a parent to this just a few years ago. 77 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 9: I can tell you firsthand, it's never one thing, it's 78 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 9: it leads up to it. And I think the hard 79 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 9: part is thinking about his family. Like we heard Dak 80 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 9: just say his girlfriend, right, his family. I know the 81 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 9: questions that come is what could I have done better? 82 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 9: Things like that, because like I said, it's not just 83 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 9: it's never just one moment. This is leading up to it, 84 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 9: and it's always the people you never would expect. And 85 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 9: I think that's what's shocking the table. It's always the 86 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 9: strong people, the smiley people. I remember talking to Solomon 87 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 9: Thomas about his sister. He said that she could always 88 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 9: light up a room and she was never shy and 89 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 9: she would go up to people like he's totally opposite 90 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 9: of like who he was, right, And I think that's 91 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 9: the hard part, and it's so relatable because he's younger 92 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 9: than all of us here at this table. I have 93 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 9: brothers a year older than him. You know, I think 94 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 9: that's the hard part and he's going to be missed. 95 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, and Solomon's sister was the same age as Marshawn 96 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 7: when she left us. 97 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 8: Yeah. When you talk about you know, not thinking, not 98 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 8: knowing what people are going through, and you also, you know, 99 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 8: you ladies have both mentioned is that it's always the 100 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 8: people that are smiling, that are bubbly, that light up 101 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 8: the room. And it's so interesting because I can even 102 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 8: talk about the football aspect of it is the first 103 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 8: time I watched Marshaun on film. You see the relentless 104 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 8: liss like the pursuit to the ball, the no quit 105 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 8: on him like in how he plays, and you know 106 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 8: him coming out as an edge defender, one of the 107 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 8: better edge defenders against the run. That's an want to 108 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 8: So even going into like the football part of it 109 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 8: is that that's what he displayed on the field, That's 110 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 8: who he was. It's this person that doesn't quit, but 111 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 8: then also too or doesn't just always keeps going, always 112 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 8: keeps going. And so then when you look at it 113 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 8: on the outside of things now with this situation, you say, well, 114 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 8: you really just can't never know in that sense, like 115 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 8: Brie was saying, it's not just one thing. 116 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: And so as a. 117 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 8: Veteran, I take this very seriously, as someone that has served, 118 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 8: that has unfortunately experienced this on a multitude of levels, 119 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 8: and it's just for me, it was a reminder that 120 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 8: I can't run from the reality of it in that sense. 121 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 8: Is that, you know, coming out of the military and 122 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 8: then coming into this work, I kind of thought I 123 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 8: was getting away from it. And I think this whole conversation, 124 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 8: this whole this whole situation, unfortunate situation, has sparked up 125 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 8: conversations about intersectionality, about race, about culture, about economics, about 126 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 8: gender norms, as you know Breed just mentioned, and I think, 127 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 8: you know, with us having this conversation is delicate, but 128 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 8: I think we got to be really honest about it. 129 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 8: I don't think we can escape past certain details regarding 130 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 8: this conversation, especially as it pertains to a league that 131 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 8: is a very diverse league. And that when I was 132 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 8: in the military, we used to say, like, when I 133 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,679 Speaker 8: take this uniform off, I am who I am. 134 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: I'm green right now. But when I take it off, 135 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 3: I am and who I am. 136 00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 8: And I think that's something we have to remember with 137 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 8: these gentlemen when they come in there and they put 138 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 8: on that star and they put on these uniforms, is 139 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 8: that they are still you know, their childhoods where they 140 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 8: grew up, their family back home, their lived experiences, and 141 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 8: you know, I just I just I feel I feel like, 142 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 8: you know, I think it's healthy that we're having this conversation, 143 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 8: these conversations, but I really hope that people are looking 144 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 8: inward and also really looking outward and like who these 145 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 8: players are as people and looking at them as people, 146 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 8: which is something that we do on this podcast, and 147 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 8: that we continue to do that, and that this is 148 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 8: a reminder that we have to look at them as people. 149 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: I think as well, you think a good point as 150 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: like even media, I feel like and we can keep 151 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 2: it a buck here. Some people forget that these players, 152 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: like you mentioned, do have stories and have lives outside 153 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 2: of football, and I think that that's why I love that, 154 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: you know, we all all of us ladies, including myself, 155 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: we pride ourselves on going into that locker room and 156 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 2: of course we get the football information. Of course we 157 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: you know, ask those good questions, but we also go 158 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: up to those players and say like and you don't 159 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 2: speak for myself, I say like, Marshaun, how are you? 160 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 4: You know?

So we officially don't know yet, but I I, 224 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 2: I truly believe that that could have been, you know, 225 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: maybe the reason why he did what he did. But 226 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: you know, ladies' thoughts. 227 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 7: And she she passed away right right before the combine, 228 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 7: and it was a an accidental overdose of painkillers according 229 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 7: to the front page story written by Lauren at Dallas 230 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 7: Morning News. So obviously very unexpected, and they believe it 231 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 7: was a mistake and filling on a prescription so overprescribed, 232 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 7: and I'm sorry, not over prescribed, but what she received 233 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 7: was a larger dosage and so very unexpected. And so 234 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 7: here's the time where he's trying to make the biggest 235 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 7: jump of his. 236 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 10: Live career wise from college to pros. 237 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 7: You have the combine and obviously performed well enough there 238 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 7: even in that situation that he merits a second round pick. 239 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 7: And then a month later when it should be the 240 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 7: highest of highs as you get selected by the Cowboys 241 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 7: and start your career, and you have other family and friends. 242 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 7: He's one of four children, has two sisters and brother, 243 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 7: you know, simply but not there to share it with 244 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 7: his mom and his grandpa. And then you're moving and 245 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 7: from Michigan. He's from Grand Rapids, and you moved from 246 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 7: Michigan to Dallas. And he had known his girlfriend, they 247 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 7: had met in college. But you're not surrounded by the 248 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 7: same number of family support members. You know your families, 249 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 7: most of them were in Michigan presumably. So yeah, that's 250 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 7: a tough transition into play. And he played a lot 251 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 7: as a rookie, right and big role and played so well. 252 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 7: But that's a lot of pressure weather from media, fans, 253 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 7: social media. But when you have these guys that reach 254 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 7: this level of play, they've been overachievers their entire lives, right, 255 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 7: always the best on their team, but just a lot 256 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 7: of self imposed pressure as well, right to be the 257 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 7: best and come in as a young guy and contribute 258 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 7: to the team. So the loss of his mom and 259 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 7: his grandpa, it's not just that they were gone, but 260 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 7: you know the timing and just what it must have 261 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 7: meant in terms of, you know, all of the changes 262 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 7: and the pressures as he began his new career at 263 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 7: I can't imagine what that would be like because we've 264 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 7: never There are very few people in the world, you 265 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 7: know that, and you're surrounded by people who've gone through 266 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 7: similar things in the locker room. But I think Bree's 267 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 7: point is right. You know, when these these young guys, 268 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 7: it's hard to talk about things like that, and that's 269 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 7: why guys like Solomon Thomas and Dak Prescott have devoted 270 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 7: so many resources with their respective foundations to help address 271 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 7: mental health and suicide prevention and just letting everybody know 272 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 7: that it's okay to not be okay and. 273 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 10: To to talk about it. 274 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 7: But you know, the resources are there, but you have 275 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 7: to be used and it they have to be used, 276 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 7: and it's hard to understand what's what's inside a person's head. 277 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 10: And that's what again so shocking about Marshawn. 278 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 7: You know, you would think just had the highest high 279 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 7: of his career scoring that touchdown, and two nights later 280 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 7: things changed so dramatically. 281 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, the highest of highs, and for Marshawn Neeland playing 282 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 9: for the Dallas Cowboys, I think we forget, we understand 283 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 9: it a little bit because we're here. But there's a 284 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 9: thirty two teams in the NFL, but this one's a 285 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 9: little bit different. 286 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 3: This one holds a little bit more. 287 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 9: When you're talking about eyes on you, and this is 288 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 9: someone who I remember talking to him about when Sam 289 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 9: Williams went down and he said, I looked and I said, 290 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 9: you know, I'd never want that to happen to my teammates. 291 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 3: But it also was like a wake up call. 292 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 9: Like, oh damn, Like I know what that means going 293 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 9: forward for myself, you know, someone thinking I'm going to 294 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 9: have some time to get adjusted. 295 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: And he really didn't have that time. 296 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 9: He was in there and he was a starting player, 297 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 9: and of course it's injury and things like that happened. 298 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 9: But I remember also sitting there his rookie year in Oxnard, 299 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 9: and I'm, you know, like, how excited are you are 300 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 9: You're going to have a big, you know, fan base 301 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 9: family coming into town. And to your point, Christy, and 302 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 9: it hits more now than it did then when he 303 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 9: kind of was just like, uh no, not not a ton. 304 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 9: My girlfriend will be there for sure, and then kind 305 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 9: of just moved on to the next question. You know, 306 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 9: it didn't even think I didn't even hit until you know, 307 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 9: things like this, And I think that's like all the 308 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 9: little pieces start to add up, like Nicole's point about 309 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 9: his mom coming into you know, playing for the Dallas Cowboys, 310 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 9: having to move not having the same type of support. 311 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 9: And I think, speaking for myself again, with these big 312 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 9: moments that are coming with the person that I lost, 313 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 9: it's like. 314 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 3: They're not there for the big moments. 315 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 9: There's certain moments I don't look forward to anymore because 316 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 9: of that person no longer there. But again, I think 317 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 9: Dak and Solomon Thomas there, there's the They're the good 318 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 9: part of what's happening, and I know they're going to 319 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 9: be heavily involved, just hearing from Dak his initial response 320 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 9: to the day of of how this was affecting him. 321 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 9: But I also think that there just has to be 322 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 9: more conversations, and there has to be uncomfortable conversations. Even 323 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 9: myself the first year that had happened, I never said 324 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 9: how that person died. I just, you know, they're like 325 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 9: people want to know typically, you know, and it just 326 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 9: wasn't something that I talked about until I started realizing 327 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 9: how many more people around me actually have been through 328 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 9: similar things. And I think seeing and listening to some 329 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 9: courageous people who cover the Cowboys honestly share their stories 330 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 9: with eye opening because these are guys that I'm with 331 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 9: all the time and joking around, and they're unserious in 332 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 9: my mind, and then you know they're actually sharing stories 333 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 9: and as men talking about how hard it is for 334 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 9: them to talk about or a shame they felt or 335 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 9: dealt with stuff in the quiet. 336 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 3: And I think that's the hard part. 337 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 9: Of just having those conversations is a start, and that's 338 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 9: what Marshaw and death is doing for everyone. 339 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm just taking it all and I'm just taking in, 340 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 8: you know, everyone's emotions and what everyone is feeling. Christy, 341 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 8: I think you mentioned something about you know him the combine, 342 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 8: you know, losing his mom, all of those things, and 343 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 8: the isolation also too is important. And I want to 344 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 8: also mention the isolation during injury and what injury does 345 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 8: for guys, especially when you talk about ACL when you 346 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 8: talk about you know, we look at a person like 347 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 8: a the Marian overshow and we're just like, oh, he's 348 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 8: just you know, he goes through his his rehab so seamlessly. 349 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 8: He's excited. Every time you see him, he's he's lighting 350 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 8: up the room. But there is another side of injury, 351 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 8: and I think we we also experienced that a little 352 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 8: bit with Jordan Lewis the other year where he had 353 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 8: that major foot injury and it. It was to a 354 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 8: point to where the coaches had to go check. 355 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 3: Up on him. Injury is isolating as well. 356 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 8: Yeah, rehabits is isolating as well, and through those times also, 357 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 8: you know where we're not. 358 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 3: Talking about these guys as much, where. 359 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 8: They're not factors on the field. We need to also 360 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 8: keep in mind the isolation associated with the injury, with 361 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 8: the having to move away from your family and Christian 362 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 8: you mentioned the you know, the kind of self inflicted pressures. 363 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 8: There's a lot of outside pressure, Like, let's keep it 364 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 8: a thousand. A lot of these gentlemen are first generation 365 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 8: college graduates or college attendees pressure. A lot of these 366 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 8: gentlemen are first first generation guys that are making that 367 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 8: are above the poverty line pressure. There's so many conversations 368 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 8: to be had within this one conversation that I think 369 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 8: matter when it comes to talking about not only societal norms, 370 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 8: with the norms that we play on these players and 371 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 8: what they're expected to be and how they're expected to 372 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 8: show up and come up to the podium and say 373 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 8: all the right things, and even at the combine getting 374 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 8: to experience that. 375 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 3: That is a very stressful week for those players. 376 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 8: I mean, I remember getting to go and talk to 377 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 8: some of those guys and it is high stake stress 378 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 8: and they feel it very heavily. And so with that, 379 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 8: all of that in mind, I just feel like, as 380 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 8: we you know, close this conversation, is that as analysts, 381 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 8: as reporters, as anyone that covers the sport, it's our 382 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 8: job to to remember those elements of things even in 383 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 8: our analysis. 384 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 3: Can we be honest? Absolutely? 385 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 8: Can we can we hold people accountable, absolutely, But there's 386 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 8: there's elements of the game that we don't see because 387 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 8: even to the point of his mom passing, you know 388 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 8: how many people didn't know that? 389 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 3: That's crazy? Do you know how many people are just 390 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 3: now finding that out? 391 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 8: And there's nothing wrong with Obviously everyone's not gonna be informed. 392 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 8: But with that in mind, the mcl injury last year, 393 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 8: him kind of trying to battle back this year, if 394 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 8: you knew that, how would you handle this situation, how 395 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 8: would you analyze the edge room, how would you talk 396 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 8: about those things? So I just I think it's important 397 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 8: for us to go the extra min of be informed so. 398 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 3: We can be better moving forward, and that we can 399 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: continue to make sure that we. 400 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 8: Have integrity with our reporting and with how we talk 401 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 8: about this game and to humanize this game as we 402 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 8: as we talk about this game that we love so much. 403 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 10: I have a note from when he first came in. 404 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 10: I mean, you see it, I usould look at it 405 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 10: right here. 406 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 7: And it was from his rookie year and he wore 407 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 7: a necklace with ashes that. 408 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 3: His mommy around it. 409 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 10: And so I had a. 410 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 7: Note and it's like, you know, I guys, guys wear 411 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 7: jewelry during games, and I mean some of them, the 412 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 7: chains or I mean, you can't miss him. But I 413 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 7: had a note to ask him if he would actually 414 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 7: wear that during the games. I mean, I wouldn't think 415 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 7: so what if something broke and so, but I always 416 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 7: felt funny. It's like I don't want to ask him 417 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 7: about his mother's death and so not not now. I 418 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 7: mean I don't. I don't really know him yet. And 419 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 7: that was from the rookie year. So it's like, oh wait, 420 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 7: I'll wait, I'll wait. It's like, you know, yeah, gosh, 421 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 7: so it's it's okay to pick a time to ask 422 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 7: about that because you're you're You're right. I love what 423 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 7: you said about you know, getting to know you know, 424 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 7: we can we can share our opinions if someone's not planning. 425 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 7: I'm not picking on Marshawn here, I'm just saying, anybody, 426 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 7: anymo we say, hey, this play was missed.

Because it's it's not something 502 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:43,479 Speaker 2: that's easy. 503 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 7: Yeah, the well Marcus Paul, the strength and conditioning coach 504 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 7: that was back in twenty twelve. It was a Tuesday 505 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 7: morning between the Sunday game leading into the Thanksgiving Day 506 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 7: game and early early in the morning, and people arrive, oh, 507 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 7: I'd say between like six and six thirty to maybe 508 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 7: do their lifts, some of them before the. 509 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 10: First team meeting of the day. 510 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 7: And you know, Marcus had had collapsed and taken to 511 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 7: the hospital and passed away and beloved, beloved by And 512 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 7: that's the thing about the strength and conditioning coaches. They 513 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 7: work with everybody on the team, right offense, defense, practice 514 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 7: squad guys, you know. 515 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 10: And that was such a shock. 516 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,959 Speaker 7: But the one that was most different was in twenty twelve, 517 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 7: the situation where Josh Brent, the defensive tackle for the Cowboys, 518 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 7: was involved in a car crash and teammate, his teammate 519 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 7: from University of Illinois and who had just signed to 520 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 7: the Cowboys practice squad two weeks earlier, Jerry Brown, was 521 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 7: killed in that crash and it had happened overnight. It 522 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 7: was a Friday night into an early Saturday morning, and 523 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 7: we literally were on the plane. This was the second 524 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 7: game after the Thanksgiving game, going to Cincinnati, both teams 525 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 7: needing a win to try and stay. 526 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 6: In the. 527 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 7: In the playoff picture, and Cincinnati was favored in that game. 528 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 7: And we literally are on the plane wondering why, you know, 529 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 7: haven't taken off yet, and everyone but the players and 530 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 7: coaches and the staff like the equipment managers and the 531 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 7: like were asked to dboard the plane. So we literally 532 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 7: got off the plane and were standing on the tarmac. 533 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 7: And that's when I remember Mike Doosey from Fox four 534 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 7: saw he looked at his phone and said, uh oh. 535 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 7: And meanwhile, Jason Garrett, who was head coach at the time, 536 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,719 Speaker 7: was telling everybody on the plane using the you know, 537 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 7: the announced thing over the plane to say that there 538 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 7: was the accident and Joshua was hospitalized and Jerry had 539 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 7: passed away. And the league doesn't stop. I can talk 540 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 7: later if you want about what happened with nine to eleven. 541 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 7: You know, they delayed games by one weekend. We ended 542 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 7: up having to make up that game in January. But 543 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 7: the league doesn't stop. And that's that's the thing about 544 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 7: this week is the players are having to come back 545 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 7: off of a bye week and prepare for the Raiders 546 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 7: while also mourning the loss of a teammate. And I 547 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 7: don't know yet about about services and how I'll be 548 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 7: real honest behind the scenes here at the Star. We're 549 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 7: all kind of in a holding pattern as to what 550 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 7: this schedule is going to be for this week. We 551 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 7: honestly don't know, and I think that they're obviously waiting 552 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 7: for clarity with the situations and how services for Marshawn. 553 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 7: If they do know that, they just found out and 554 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 7: are getting the word out. But yeah, that's that's the 555 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 7: tough part about this week. But what happened with the 556 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 7: game in Cincinnati. We all got back on the plane 557 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 7: and by then everyone knew what was going on. It 558 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 7: was obviously very somber and went to Cincinnati, and those 559 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 7: of us who've been around a long time and covered 560 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 7: all of Jason Garrett's career from the time he was 561 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 7: a third string quarterback to his time as head coach 562 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 7: would say that was his probably his finest moment with 563 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 7: the Cowboys was the Cowboys got the upset win one 564 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 7: twenty to nineteen. I think that was the final score 565 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 7: there in Cincinnati, and the Cowboys ultimately didn't make the 566 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 7: playoffs that year, but stayed with it. But they took 567 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 7: Joshus and Jerry's jerseys and hung them in the locker 568 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 7: there in Cincinnati, and then Jerry's locker here as a 569 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 7: practice squad member through the remainder of the season. So 570 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 7: that was so unusual. But again, as tragic as things are, 571 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 7: the league plays on and you're expected to deal with it, 572 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 7: and and that's what they're they're going to have to do. 573 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 7: But at least now the players and the coaches are together, 574 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 7: Whereas when this happened last week, you know, Wednesday night 575 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 7: into it early Thursday morning, most people had already dispersed. 576 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 10: It's the only time. 577 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 7: That guys get to like go home or you know 578 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 7: and leave and have you know, like five four or 579 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 7: five consecutive days off, and so a lot of them 580 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 7: were had already left. 581 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 2: I can't even imagine how those guys feel, yeah, because 582 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 2: like and I feel, like I told I used of 583 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: this when we were on the phone.

And I whereas I agree with you, Christy, 638 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 8: I understand that for some people, staying busy, staying occupied 639 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 8: is you know, is a is a way to like 640 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 8: not think about it. 641 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 10: But then you have the quiet time. 642 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, we have the quiet time, and then you have 643 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 8: the reality of do you think these. 644 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 3: Guys don't know that the league doesn't stop? Do you 645 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 3: think that these guys. 646 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 8: Don't know that when they retire and when they get 647 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 8: injured or things or they fall off, this game is 648 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 8: gonna keep going without them and the reality of that 649 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 8: and sitting in that, and I just I just I 650 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 8: just feel like the league doesn't stop as the whole 651 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 8: it could be positive. 652 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 3: I feel like when you say it out loud. 653 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 8: It sounds incredibly disassociated of the reality of this being 654 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 8: people's lives. 655 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 7: Well, And I just would like to follow up because 656 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 7: I mentioned Josh Brent and longtime Cowboy fans. Hard to 657 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 7: believe that was thirteen years ago, but fans remember that 658 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 7: that incident happened.
