You don't 20 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: want to talk about the rivalry as soon as I 21 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: say one word and it starts with a C. Hey, 22 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: let's talk about that. Okay, So this is why you 23 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: really call me? Right all right? Let you know I'm 24 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: not even returning their call. You guys want to talk 25 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: about it. I'm all in because I respect you guys. 26 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: These guys, I don't know. They didn't call me when 27 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys played Buffalo. You know what I mean. I 28 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: beat I beat Buffalo in the Super Bowl. I got 29 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: no call. Then you know, I didn't get a call 30 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: when the Rance and Buffalo, the Giants of Buffalo played 31 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: this year, if they played even last year, come on, 32 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: don't don't. Don't try to fool the old man like me. 33 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: They won't happen. He played the Niners in the I 34 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: want to know. So the rivalry, what was there more 35 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: than one game against San Francisco that stood out during 36 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: that time? Well? Uh, eventually that game did. But of course, 37 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: uh what was that brody? And uh was a stock 38 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: back a decade earlier? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it was a 39 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: setting and it was an amazing game the Cowboys proposed 40 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: to themselves. I think they went super Bowl that year, 41 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: big win in the Bay. Uh, But like you said, 42 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: that was that wasn't a rival back then Rocking Cowboys 43 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: were just kind of a rival. But that's what it 44 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: and it basically that's kind of when it started. It 45 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: basically costs Dick Nolan his job because he was the 46 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: head coach of the forty nine ers back there in 47 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: the early seventies. Sure, wow, so here we are. Here 48 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: we are later Mike Nolan and Dick Mike Nolan the 49 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: former head coach of the forty nine ers, uh, and 50 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: goes up against the Niners here on Sunday. But let's 51 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: just be real now, it became a rivalry, uh after 52 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: the catch game, and of course in the nineties. Uh, 53 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, in the nineties, but in the eighties 54 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: there was in the night wasn't really a rivalry other 55 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: than one game, you know. But that's the only way 56 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: that he could veil his it's true purpose for that 57 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: phone call. Okay, that's funny and I and I didn't 58 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: even mean to bring it up ever since I was 59 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: kind of thinking of the nineties rivalry when I was 60 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: talking about bo and Romo here and then I stepped 61 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: at it. But that's cool. I like talking about it 62 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: because you know, we always I always tell people if 63 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: it wasn't for myself getting so tired of being dumped 64 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: on about that game. I had to keep reminding people. 65 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: I had to remind people that I had the three 66 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: turnovers in that game and probably could have gotten MVP 67 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: if we don't lose the ball game. And uh, for 68 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: some reason, you know what was Boomer Boomer right? Boomer's 69 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: Boomer's name Chris Chris Burman. Chris Berman at that time 70 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: was a I guess a local Bay area reporter. And 71 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: we all know that ESPN had just started up around 72 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: three to four years prior to that, because I remember 73 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: I was in college when it first started. I'm like, man, 74 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: this is great. And so he happened to be a 75 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers fan, and he was on the field 76 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: for that game, and he was just as excited as 77 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: he was a player. So all on ESPN. Of course, 78 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: he becomes part of ESPN and all, oh my god, 79 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: anytime he got a chance, he bring it up. Oh 80 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: my god, Joe dwy you guys are amazing, you know, 81 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: And I always took a fence because here was my 82 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: thought process. You've got a rookie from Grambling State University 83 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: who was not drafted. You've got a too great to 84 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: me great story the organizations, and I thought the narrative 85 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: would be, you know, mister naive. I thought the narrative 86 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: would be, man, they were coming at this rookie, and 87 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: the rookie stood up. But when it was all said 88 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: and done, it was a great battle, and forty nine 89 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: ers came out. My name was never mentioned except for 90 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: in regards to that picture in the end zone, and 91 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: I took the fence to that. I said, had a 92 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: great game. Chris Burman doesn't want to same thing about 93 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: it because he was so on the forty nine ers job. 94 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was ridiculous. So so let me 95 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: let me, let me tell you circumstances. I was gonna say, 96 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: let me tell you a little story about how big 97 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: a fan Chris Berman was of the forty nine ers. 98 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: When I was covering the Super Bowl, uh in Miami 99 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: when they beat was Cincinnati, right, eighty eight maybe eighty seven? 100 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: What was eighty eight, I think right? And so the 101 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: auxiliary press box, right, the auxiliary press box was basically 102 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: in the stands. That's where my seat was. And he 103 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: and his esp Chris Burman and his ESPN colleagues were 104 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: about oh, about three or four rows behind me and 105 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: off to the other section right, he was sitting in 106 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: the stands outward, and I was covering the game right 107 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: outwardly cheering for the forty nine ers. And I was like, seriously, 108 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: and and and it goes back to what I said 109 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: the other day. You you call yourself a journalist and 110 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: you're out here cheering for the forty nine ers. So 111 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: that's how big a homer he was. Oh, he was 112 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: big time homer. I have never really talked to him 113 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: after that, because if I would have, I would have, 114 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, articulately, would you given him theticularly? I would 115 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: have given him the business articulately. And uh So, like 116 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: I said, we never talked. I have a feeling he 117 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily a cowboy fan also until of course Jerry 118 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: comes along and you've got you know, these gregarious uh 119 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: personalities with with Dionne and Mike and those guys. I 120 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: don't I don't think he before that in the eighties 121 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: and seventies, I doubt he was a cowboy fan at 122 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: all because he took way too much joy in that win, 123 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: and he lost all of his journalistic awareness, you know, 124 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: because like I said, as far as I was concerned, 125 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that had three turnovers, not many 126 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 1: that had actually three turnovers defensively in the championship game, 127 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: And that has never been mentioned. And I think that, 128 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: you know, I was a victim of a perfect imperfect storm, 129 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: so to speak. So that's why people listen. That's why 130 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: people listen to Mick shots. You kind of get that 131 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: perspective that no one else gets. Gotta get it in, baby, 132 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: gotta get it in. Mike. Yes, I'm gonna give you 133 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: a little more perspective on this rivalry that Everson is 134 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: very familiar with. Now, you didn't when did you get 135 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: to the Metroplex? When did you get to Dallas? Who 136 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: met Mickey middle of the eighties? Mickey middle of the 137 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: eighty fourth season of the eighties. And so so you 138 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: remember the Cowboys playing the Niners back in the early 139 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: seventies when the Cowboys started first going to Super Bowls. 140 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: But Everson and I being the same age, we remember 141 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: it intimately growing up in Dallas, And it was actually 142 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: in ninety the Boys played the Niners three straight years 143 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I mean, just like they did in 144 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: the nineties when they had the conference championship matchups against 145 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: the Niners. They did it in the seventies two and 146 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy, which was the first year the Cowboys 147 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl and lost to Baltimore. They 148 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: beat San Francisco out in San Francisco in the Conference 149 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: Championship game fourteen. That's right, that's right. The next year, 150 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys played the Niners at Texas Stadium in nineteen 151 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: seventy one and beat them fourteen to three and on 152 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: their way to winning the Super Bowl over the Dolphins. Okay, 153 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: and then the game that Everson is alluding to was 154 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: December twenty third, nineteen seventy two, when Roger Staubuck and 155 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys trailed the Niners twenty eight to sixteen with 156 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: two minutes left in the game, and Stabuck throws a 157 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: touchdown pass to make it twenty eight twenty three, and 158 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: then Tony Fritch with behind the leg on side kick 159 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: that was recovered by the Cowboys behind the back or 160 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,359 Speaker 1: whatever you however you want to call it on sidekick 161 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: touchdown pass to win it. That Saint Larry Cole, the 162 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: classic rolling rolling around on a sideline. That's exactly right. 163 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys won that game thirty to twenty eight, and they 164 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: that was the first round of the playoffs. They actually 165 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: lost to the conference championship game that year. Um so. 166 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: And by the way, the other was that was that 167 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: Candlestick Park? Was that stealing? I bet? I bet? The 168 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: first time was keys Are Stadium was keys Are. Yeah, 169 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: the first one was keys Are I believe, I have 170 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: to look it up. And then they moved into Candlestick 171 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: after that. And here's the thing, and they had astro 172 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: turf from what I would call because uh Bubba Cole 173 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: was rolling around on astro turf. Family that there you go. 174 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: That's right, all right. So the thing that I remember 175 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: about the thirty to twenty eight win over San Francisco 176 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: more than anything. And I'll even say here fifty nearly 177 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: fifty years later, forty eight years later, it might be 178 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: my favorite day of watching football ever. I remember growing 179 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: up at Irving. It was a cold, bitterly cold day, 180 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: two days before Christmas, and the first game of the day, 181 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders played the Pittsburgh Steelers, and basically on 182 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: the final play of the day of the game, ball 183 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: batted up in the air. Frank O'harris grabs it. It 184 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: was the immaculate reception as the Steelers beat the Raiders. 185 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: That was the first game of the doubleheader. Second game 186 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: of the doubleheader was the Cowboys against the Niners, and 187 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: you had that scenario in the last two minutes where 188 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys came back to win. You don't get much 189 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: better than that watching football. And I'll tell you what. Now, 190 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: let's jump to nineteen eighty two, right before our game, 191 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: if I would call that, was when Kellen Winslow. Oh wow? 192 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: Was that the time that Kellen Winslow fell was dehydrated 193 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: and they had to carry him off the field after 194 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: he rescued. Was was was that the same weekend? I 195 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: gotta I'll be looking it up here. But I remember 196 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: I remember watching that game on TV. I remember the 197 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: immaculate reception watching it on TV, but I do not 198 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: remember see. I would have been on on Christmas break 199 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: from college that year in seventy two, and I remember 200 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: watching the game and I was in our in our 201 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: little uh uh I guess it was the TV room, 202 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, and I'm watching it 203 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: on TV. My mother's cooking, and I started screaming, Hey, 204 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: you gotta come and see this. You're not gonna believe 205 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: it to the immaculate reception. I remember that, and I'm 206 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: sure I watched the next game, but I have no 207 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: recollection of watching it on TV. That's so funny you 208 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: mentioned that about your mom cooking. Uh. And in regards 209 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: to Bill, of course, my number one football afternoon was 210 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: December twenty eighth, nineteen seventy five, the Hail Mary. Of course, 211 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: that was my sixth that was my sixteenth birthday, and 212 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, so here comes the Purple People leaders 213 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: and they had been handing it to us. I don't 214 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: know how many times before that game we could not 215 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: beat the Vikings because of Carl Alan Page Marshall. They 216 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: were just an amazing squad, Chuck Form and those guys 217 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: and the And when we finally beat them on my birthday, 218 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: I go running. I was I was only boy, I 219 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: only the only boy in the house, the youngest. So 220 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm the only one watching football in the house. And 221 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm running around the house trying to find someone to 222 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: celebrate with. And my mom, my mom is in there 223 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: making my birthday cake and she's gotten fired. And I go, Mom, 224 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: you who believe that the Cowboys just be the banking 225 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: and I'm running on she go, that's good baby, And 226 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: that was it making my cake. And it was so 227 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: anti climactic for me because this is my birthday. I 228 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: had no one to share that with. And so still 229 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: it was one of the that was my greatest afternoon 230 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: of football. We finally beat the Purple people eaters in 231 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five, December twenty eight, that's try And okay, 232 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: I've looked up now of January tenth, nineteen eighty two, 233 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: the day that lives a in for me forever, someon 234 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: walls and for me like that. Yeah. And uh. Then 235 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: in fact, the early game that day was Cincinnati against 236 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: San Diego, um the twenty seven It was a twenty 237 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: seven seven final score of the Bengals won the game. 238 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: But that wasn't talking about that wasn't the game that 239 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: was a classic then, because the one that was a classic, 240 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, the San Diego won the game 241 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: them in two. Yeah, they won that game and and 242 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: and that's why it was such a So was this 243 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: the so which was the the incredibly cold game in 244 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: since wasn't it Cincinnati and San Diego? That was that 245 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: was the one that was the same weekend as the 246 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: catch game. Okay, so that would this would have been 247 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: the game that that was. I don't remember, and I 248 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: was trying to see on Pro Football Reference. They don't 249 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: have the conditions, uh, the weather conditions. What happened. Here's 250 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: what happened, Bill, Here's what happened the week prior to that. 251 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: The Charges won that game in such a dramatic fashion 252 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: the week prior to that, because they go from Miami. 253 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: What he's dehydrated and everyone is just just drained, and 254 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: then they go directly to the coldest game in NFL history. 255 00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: So that was the the comparison. There. You go from 256 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: from being depleted to the seven days later you're playing 257 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: in minus fifty eighth degree weather. So that was that 258 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: was the dichotomy that the Chargers had to deal with him. 259 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: That's how I remembered that game, and and and I 260 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: found the weather conditions, the official weather conditions that day 261 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. It was minus nine degrees and the wind 262 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: was at twenty four miles an hour a windshield of 263 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: minus thirty two. And so that was the That was 264 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: the first game of the doubleheader on the day of 265 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: the catch in January tenth, nineteen eighty two. And by 266 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: the way, that would would not be that would that 267 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: may be my worst day of watching football. Yeah, me too, Bill, Yeah, 268 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: that would be. That would be Kellen Winslow by the way, 269 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: from the University of Missouri. By the way, just throw 270 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: I taught interesting. Yeah, don't just don't throw in junior? 271 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: How about that? But I didn't say anybody. Yeah, I 272 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: think you do. I raised him right, I couldn't do it, Junior. 273 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna get a practice report from yes see, Mickey, 274 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: did you watch practice day.

So at this morning's 315 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: press conference, but I wonder what was going on at 316 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: practice today Every sudden, I wonder if there's anybody who 317 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: might be able to fill us in on what was 318 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: seen at practice today, someone that a bird's eye view. 319 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, maybe Mickey knows. And I 320 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: would have liked to say the Cowboys have a secondary problem, 321 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: but it's not a secondary problem. It's a primary problem. 322 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: Because journalist, how about that wordsmith? So the good news 323 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: is is that uh, Trayvon Diggs, Chitubey Awoozier did participate 324 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: in practice. We'll see how just how much they did. Uh. 325 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown Uh, and these guys were all limited yesterday. 326 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: Uh did practice? Uh? So did uh Donovan Wilson. We'll 327 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: see if he did enough when the practice report comes out. 328 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: But Xavier Woods was on the resistance chords and he 329 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: didn't look like he was going to practice. So they 330 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: really need Donovan Wilson to be ready to go because 331 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: Thompson would be a backup. And if if Wilson can't go, 332 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: I think the next guy up would be Reggie Robinson, 333 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: and he hadn't played a down a football yet other 334 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: than special teams in the National Football League. They also 335 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: didn't have Deontay Burton out he was out with a 336 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: shoulder yesterday and today. Rashard Robinson, who started last week 337 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: at corner with a knee, he didn't practice. And remember 338 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: Saveon Smith has been trying to practice through with a 339 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: cast on his hand that he broke a bone on 340 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: in the game and came back and played. So yeah, 341 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: that's secondary. They're gonna need these guys like Digs and 342 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 1: Wilson and de Bay to be able to come in 343 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: and play in this game. Otherwise, I don't know who 344 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: else they would put it. Safety, the Parker guy that 345 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: the safety. He's still on injured reserve. So yeah, it's 346 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: a little problematic back there. So they better hope Donovan 347 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: Wilson's ready to go. Okay. Ever since we talked about 348 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: the COVID effect on injuries yesterday and stuff. For the 349 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: life of me, though, I cannot remember back in your 350 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: day this many injuries amongst uh, let's just take the 351 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: cornerback position. I just can't remember teams going through this 352 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: many cornerbacks in a season. What's what's what do you 353 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: think is going on? I don't know, but you kind 354 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: of take we took it for granted back in the day. 355 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: I can't remember one game Dennis Diamond was hurt. I 356 00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: don't recall ever. I think I finally missed UH plays 357 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: in the second half of a Minnesota game back in 358 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six or seven. I think I had to 359 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: sit out the second half with a growing problem. Other 360 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: than that, our secondary was always intact. Michael Downs hurt 361 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,479 Speaker 1: his thive first game of his career against at that time, 362 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. He was out for one game. But otherwise, 363 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: oh man, this is this is unusual. Charlie Waters. If 364 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: you recall miss an entire year and he was in 365 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: the booth after just totally messing up his knee and 366 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: he was never the same after that. He came back 367 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: in eighty one and participated and was my godsend and 368 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: ended up retiring after that. You know, I was talking 369 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: about to SPADs about this, uh yesterday, and SPADs got 370 00:23:52,880 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: a little aggressive. But I talked to my Sam about it, 371 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: and I still think that the whole thing is valid. 372 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not all about a bunch of training 373 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: camps and a bunch of offseason work and all of that, 374 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: but I am about fine tuning, and you have to 375 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: have a timing or intertinct in your head, which is 376 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: what off season is for. My son's a chef, and 377 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: we were laughing about it. He was saying, you know, 378 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: if I had been in the kitchen for a while 379 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: and I'm throwing around all these knives, you know, you 380 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: gotta be careful if it's your first day back in 381 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: and you hadn't been doing it for a while, so 382 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: that could lead to injuries, either to yourself or to 383 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: your fellow chef mate. So those kinds of things are 384 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: pretty much universal. They just haven't had the concerted concentration 385 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: on your technique, on your body itself. You can lift 386 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: weights all you want, you can run sprints all you want, 387 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: but you have to get into football mold before you 388 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: start playing football, and it takes a little bit more 389 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: than just a meager offseason that we had, of course 390 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: because of the pandemic. And by the way, there's one 391 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: other injury that probably should be noted. Ezekiel Elliot did 392 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: not practice yesterday because of the bruise on his calf. 393 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: He was on the Resistance chords today and Mike McCarthy 394 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: said if he did anything, it would be working on 395 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: the side on his rehab. So that'll be two days 396 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: in a row that Zeke didn't practice. They don't really 397 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: practice on Friday. It's more of a walkthrough, so he 398 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: may not do anything all week and then they'll get 399 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: the game time and see if he's able to go. 400 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: And if he's not able to go, then everybody's gonna 401 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: get their wish and they're gonna see Tony Pollard carry 402 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: the ball twenty times. Yeah, I cannot wait for this. 403 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: This does happen, SPADs, I wouldn't be looking forward to it. 404 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: It's tough when you're, you know, coming in and playing 405 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: the entire game. Jack. It's always good to relieve some 406 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: It's always good to relieve someone who has set a 407 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: particular tone for the game and you came in, come 408 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: in as a change of pace. Now they're gonna be 409 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: prepared for you for the entire game and most likely 410 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: will make adjustments before that game is over, from beginning 411 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: to end. So yeah, let's I don't look forward to it. 412 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that Zeke will come through as he always does. 413 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: I hope he runs well as he has been doing 414 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: all year long. I might add I think I want 415 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: him to play because I want him to continue to 416 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: get his confidence and instincts back, because it's clear that 417 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: Zeke is not too comfortable running behind the makeshift line 418 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: that he's dealing with, and he's kind of feeling the 419 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: pressure a little bit. Yeah, and the way I pointed 420 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: it out on that is Okay, let me see Pollard 421 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: get the dirty yards. Like we see the flashy yards 422 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: to the outside when there's a hole there, What about 423 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: when there's no hole? Is he running up the middle 424 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: and pushing the pile instead of losing a yard, he's 425 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: gonna get three or four. That part we haven't seen 426 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: from him yet. Well, we see from Zeke all the time. Well, 427 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: just look at the last three games Tony Pollard, the 428 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: last three and this is nothing against Tony Pollard. I 429 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: think he's good potential, But the last three games. I mean, 430 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: if we're gonna get on Zeke for not getting a 431 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: hundred yard games whatever. The last three games for Pollard, 432 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: he had four carries for twelve yards against Washington. He 433 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: had eight carries for twenty two against Baltimore and it 434 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: was seven for ten yards until the last play of 435 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: the game. It was garbage time. That really was garbage 436 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: time where he gave it to him for a twelve 437 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: yard run that got him up to eight for twenty two. 438 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: And then in Cincinnati he was eleven carries for thirty 439 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: nine yards total. That up the last three games, he's 440 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: got twenty three carries for seventy three yards. It's just 441 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: over three yards to carry. So I mean, but people 442 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: don't look at stuff. We look out if we go 443 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: without if we go without Zeke, I think we go 444 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: without Zeke's bags. We're going to have to be way 445 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: more diverse, and how we use our running back in 446 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: this game, we have to pass it to a more 447 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: more deceptive plays, more screen passes. I wouldn't be I 448 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't make a habit of running him up 449 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: the middle. And unless you have those sure fire quick 450 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: hit plays that well, you can utilize his speed and quickness. See. 451 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: I want to go one more deep. I want to 452 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: see rick o'doondle. Here you go. Yeah, you know what. 453 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: I want to go one more deep. I want to 454 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: see saw Alanolua. I knew it. I knew he just 455 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: wanted to say his name. I knew. Well you you 456 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: will see a fullback in this game, by the way, 457 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: and I'll allow you build to pronounce the guy's name. 458 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: But Kyle, well, he's a four time Pro Bowler on 459 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: the other side, and in fact, he's been scoring touchdowns 460 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: for the Niners here lately with their situation at running back. 461 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: And that's Kyle Uschek, and the last four years he's 462 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl. Now, part of that is there's 463 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: not a lot of teams with fullbacks, and so that 464 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: fullback spot there's not a lot of competition for the 465 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl fullback spot. But seriously, to his credit, I 466 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: mean he's he is as as good as they come 467 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: at that position and play and as more than just 468 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: a fullback. Obviously, he can carry the ball, you can 469 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: catch it, and he's you know, he doesn't have the 470 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: height that you would have that you normally see in 471 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: a tight end, but as a U, he does some 472 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: tight end type stuff which they've needed. Uh, and I'm 473 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: talking about blocking U. They've needed it with Kittle out, 474 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: you know, and so the second tight ends had to 475 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: move up and become more of a receiving guy. Uh. 476 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: Kittle is back practicing, but he is not expected to 477 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: be back for this game now. Most right, he mostert 478 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: it according to uh the Niners Kyle Shanahan. Uh, it 479 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: looks like he he felt like he would be good 480 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: to go by the end of the week. So well, 481 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: he didn't practice, yester, he didn't practice yesterday, right right, right, 482 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: So we'll see. Yeah, McCarthy. McCarthy talked all about McCarthy 483 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: talked all about the fullback and how he's so versatile 484 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: they can use him in three different ways. You know, 485 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: he blocks Obviously he handed the ball, as Bill said, 486 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: they throw the ball to him. So we'll see how 487 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys adjust when they come out with a basically 488 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: running personnel. A question. I have a question. I have 489 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: a question, and Spags you are always around. I mean 490 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: to answer it before you ask it. They'll stay in there, Nickel. Yes, 491 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: come on, man, come on, man, come on, Spags, come 492 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: on man, you have influence. You are an influencer. You 493 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: you have boy, are you? You're pretty good? By the 494 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: way you knew exactly what I was gonna ask. We 495 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: could play Jeopardy, right, can we Can we even get 496 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: a suggestion? And do they have a suggestion box there? 497 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: That's a good question. Yeah, well I think if we yeah, 498 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: we can't get to it. And I think if we 499 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: asked it, I think before we asked it in a 500 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: conference call, we would get Well, we can't be giving 501 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: away a game plan for you.

That's the first time we 558 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: are live by the way we are live, ladies and gentlemen. 559 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: And I think last week, last week I combined Dalton 560 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 1: with Bengals, and I think I called them the Dogils 561 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: or something like that. The dingles, the dingles, the dingles. 562 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: All I did look up the we were talking about 563 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: the cold temperatures on that day that will go down 564 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 1: in infamy, or has always gone down in infamy forever. 565 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: Sin Wals Tuary tenth, nineteen eighty two. The game in 566 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: Cincinnati was minus nine degrees and the wind chill was 567 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: minus thirty two the ice ball. The game time temperature 568 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: was thirteen below zero, so we've got the record on that. However, 569 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: the wind chill was less than thirty two. Was twenty 570 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: twenty seven I think at game time. But if you 571 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: if you talk to anybody who played in that game, 572 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: the windshill was was minus fifty eight. So so there. Yeah, 573 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: how how accurate were those readings back really in nineteen 574 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: sixty seven? Yeah, I don't know how that works. I 575 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: don't know what they had the same, you know, instruments 576 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,720 Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, I don't. I don't think Harold Taft 577 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: had the same, which, by which, by the way, go 578 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: ahead could have been around I was gonna say, by 579 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: the way too. So about right at two weeks after 580 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: that game, on January tenth, nineteen eighty two, if my 581 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: memory serves me, right one, Bear Bryant passed away and 582 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 1: I had covered his what turned out to be his 583 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: last game. UH Alabama played No Alabama played uh met 584 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: They played Illinois in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, and 585 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: it was freezing cold, and I remember after the game 586 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,959 Speaker 1: there was nowhere for him to do uh an indoor 587 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: press conference, so they had him standing on a box 588 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: outside and I mean it was cold, and I looked 589 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: at him and I'm going, God, Lee, he doesn't look 590 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: good at all. He just was kind of ashen color, 591 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,720 Speaker 1: and I thought maybe it was because it was cold. Well, 592 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: two weeks later, so it would have been January twenty fifth, 593 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: I believe, is when he passed away. And I was 594 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: working in Jackson, Mississippi then and ended up getting sent 595 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: to Tuscaloosa to basically cover the memorial and the funeral 596 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: of Bear Bryant. Yeah, so I've got a I've got 597 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: a certificate. I got a certificate from the Liberty Bowl 598 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 1: that I was at that game and covered it. How 599 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 1: about that? Yeah, you gotta you gotta keep that spag. 600 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,760 Speaker 1: You know, he and he and Eddie Robinson were really close, 601 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: and I don't know if they were, they became close 602 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: just because of, you know, the dynamics of each of 603 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: their careers. Of course, one is a Power five school 604 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: coach and the others of HBCU great and UH coach. 605 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: Robinson had to eventually pass up Bear Bryant. I think 606 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 1: he passed up Bear Bryant year at the Cotton Bowl. 607 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,439 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken that that's that's uh. I'm sure 608 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: you're looking up William, I know you will, but I 609 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: think he did pass up Bear Bryant here at the 610 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: against Pravview, Yes, sir, the Southwest Caroline's classic and uh, 611 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: you know Coach Robinson was the same way, uh, Spags. 612 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 1: You know, once they are taken away from what they love, 613 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: their livelihood, not just what they love, because they both 614 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: had wives that loved them and took care of them 615 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: until the day they died. But when you take away 616 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: your livelihood in that manner at that age, you know, 617 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: it's not just the weather, right, Spags. It wasn't just 618 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: how cold it was outside. I think that I think 619 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 1: it was just a depletion. Knew this was the end. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, 620 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And the same with Coach Robinson. It's you know, 621 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: these guys give all their lives, not just to the school, 622 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: but to the kids. And uh, you know, when you 623 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: when you feel like there's no uh, you're not your 624 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 1: usefulness has gone. Uh at that age, I think they 625 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: just kind of give up. And that's that was sad, 626 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,959 Speaker 1: But once again, it was a an opportunity to really, 627 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: uh just celebrate both of those amazing coaches. Along those lines, 628 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 1: another legend Joe Paterno. Uh yeah, similar. He passed away 629 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: very soon after his last year with Penn State. Uh 630 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: and and Mickey by the way, uh Bear Bryant. His 631 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: last bowl game was the Liberty Bowl, and the year 632 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: before was the Cotton Bowl. And in fact that was 633 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,280 Speaker 1: the first, uh my first year working at a Lubbock 634 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 1: TV station, we came and covered the Cotton Bowl. And 635 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: so I was at and got an opportunity to be 636 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: at a Bear Bryant press conference. I think I had 637 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,320 Speaker 1: the courage to ask a question. I don't know. Uh. Well, 638 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: so that would have been a year before he died. 639 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: So let me tell you. So, you know, it was 640 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 1: like god Tuesday or Wednesday of the week they were 641 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: going to play Old Miss, and Tuscaloosa was only like 642 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: a three hour drive from Jackson. So we would go 643 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 1: to that press conference, right, and he's in one of 644 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 1: these big lecture halls. So he's on a stage, the 645 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: seats go up like you're in a theater, and he 646 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: would answer all these nice easy questions from the local people, right. 647 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 1: And so I decided that I did the same thing. 648 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: I said, Okay, I got enough nerve, I got to 649 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: ask this question. So I asked the question, he didn't 650 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: like it, and all of a sudden he started answering 651 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: in the deepest mumbled Southern drawl you ever heard. And 652 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: I don't think I understood a word he said, but 653 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,879 Speaker 1: he answered it. I think right, But he didn't want 654 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: to answer. That's the way Southern's answered questions that they 655 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: don't want to answer. All of a sudden, you get 656 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: real thick, you know what I mean. It's like a 657 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: foreigner when they really don't want to answer a question. 658 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, that accent kind of works this 659 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: way in there, and you're like, wait a minute, what 660 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: just happened to the guy I was talking to? So, yeah, 661 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: it's funny Bill, you bring up Joe Paul as well. 662 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: He and Coach Robinson. If I'm not mistaken, they are 663 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: one and two respectively in uh win in the wing 664 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: column as far as college games are concern Am I correct? 665 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: I think he probably probably are right a minute, for 666 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: a minute, Coach Robinson had it, and then then when 667 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: Joe Paul passed on, they added the other two that 668 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,320 Speaker 1: they had tried to take away from him, and boom 669 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: jumped him right back up to the top. So you 670 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: got the one two, right there, Edie, Joe Paul and Eddie. Hey, 671 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: here's one other forty nine ers. Note that we probably 672 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: should draw you back into actual Cowboys at forty nine ers, right, 673 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,280 Speaker 1: sounds like Shanahan's gonna stick with Nick Mullins. Nick Mullins 674 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: as the quarterback, and so I kind of looked up 675 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: his staff. You know, his quarterback rating eighty five seven. 676 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,240 Speaker 1: That's not all that great. He's got ten touchdown passes 677 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: in ten interceptions. That ain't the way the ratio is 678 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 1: supposed to break, right, It's supposed to be two touchdowns 679 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: to every one interception. And San Francisco, by the way, 680 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: in their last seven games, well, I think I mentioned 681 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 1: yesterday they've had at least two turnovers a game in 682 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: those seven They've had eighteen turnovers in the last seven 683 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: game and they're now for the season a minus seven. 684 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: So the Cowboys are only three behind him at minus ten. 685 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 1: They're gaining. Wow, how about that? So that secondary becomes 686 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 1: even more important. We might get some picks, you never know, 687 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: never know. I think that made me one of my 688 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: predictions for tomorrow is at the Cowboys will even things 689 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,439 Speaker 1: up in the turnover ratio with a forty nine ers. 690 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: I have a good feeling about this. In fact, you know, 691 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,800 Speaker 1: I said that I was look up on those. We 692 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: talked about tiebreakers, and I did the math on it, 693 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: and sure enough, Mickey, here's what the Cowboys need to 694 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. They need to win three in Washington 695 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: needs to lose three. Yeah, you didn't like how the 696 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: Common games were looking for a tiebreaker, right, that's it 697 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: the problem for the Cowboys if they now, if they 698 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: just had the conference record ahead of the common opponents 699 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: on the tiebreaker breakdown, then the Cowboys would be in 700 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: business where the Washington would only have to win two 701 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: other last three and the Cowboys would have a shot 702 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: in a three way tie with the giants in Washington, 703 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: but not with common opponents because it Cowboys, they ain't 704 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,160 Speaker 1: looking good in that common opponent. Yeah, glory, I kind 705 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 1: of figured out that in Washington. And which, by the way, 706 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys when I said they're the plus minus is 707 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: a minus ten. Now they've actually moved up. They're now 708 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 1: in a four way tie for twenty ninth. M Oh, yeah, 709 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: saying we're finishing on a good timing. The timing, the 710 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:14,439 Speaker 1: timing is perfect, now, that's right, we will start. We're 711 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: building up to a crescendo there, right, We're trying to 712 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,359 Speaker 1: just build it on up, moving on up, and so 713 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: to the east side. Um um, so the east side. 714 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: So this week, this week, Cowboys beat the Niners, and 715 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: we're just gonna take this one week at a time. Okay, 716 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys beat the Niners and Seattle beats Washington. Okay, that's 717 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: my I'll give you that early prediction, and then next 718 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 1: week we'll be concerned with Cowboys taking on Philadelphia and 719 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: Washington has Carolina next week. Now that's a little that one. Well, 720 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: but at least I could Are they in Carolina? You 721 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 1: would ask me that I got that written down somewhere, 722 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,359 Speaker 1: but I'm sure where. But you know what, if they 723 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: if they beat if they beat the Niners, and I'm 724 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: eligible to pick them to beat Philadelphia, here you go. 725 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: Or maybe I should just keep picking them the lose, 726 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,720 Speaker 1: right because they've played better when I've picked them to lose, 727 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:26,400 Speaker 1: not necessarily. All right, Well, that does it for a 728 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 1: Thursday edition of mix Shots. And uh, we've got a 729 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,759 Speaker 1: big Friday ahead.
