1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones Every Tuesday with Sean and r J, brought

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: to you by your North Texas four dealers for Built

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: for Texas, Built for you. Good morning, Jerry, How are

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: you John r J. I'm doing great, just still doing

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: what you shouldn't be doing. Our guests on Tuesday. Maybe

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: we're still close enough to Monday to still be savoring

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: that when it was an exciting day for us, an

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: exciting time I think for our team, really we can

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: build on this. And you said in your opening, believe

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: you me that real sound coming from those fans out

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: there was very distinctive. We had had the piped in

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: sound earlier in our when we played last weekend, and

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: there is no question that the enthusiasm of the crowd

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: was a part of just the overall scene. I know

15
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: there's sad sad say, well, crowd noise is wins fifty

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: percent of the time or doesn't, and we've got all

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: those kinds of things, but boy, it was real. It

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: helped made a big difference. And the most important thing

19
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: is it just felt like old times out there with

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: that crowd. Jerry described the feeling you had during the

21
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: on side recovery and then the game winning field goal

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: kick and can you remember another cowboy feeling like that?

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: As of late, a lot of people were throwing out

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: the Romo Bills game with the six different turnovers coming

25
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: back to when can you remember another feeling like that?

26
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: While watching that type of comeback, I really can't. That

27
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: was the one that went immediately to my mind. When

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: we were in Buffalo, I actually was watching the game

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: with one of the key members. I was watching the

30
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: game with Michael Irvin, and of course when we had

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: to kind of come back we had under the adversity

32
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: of the five interceptions and the way things were going

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: up there and flow and then take that win was

34
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: something you'll never forget. And we won't forget this one.

35
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: I won't forget this one. This was a thrill. It

36
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: was nothing like a good plan coming together, and of

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: course that's what happened on that own sidekick. It really,

38
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: I think in general, when we talk about and I'm

39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: going to get ahead of you, I'm sure here when

40
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: I talk about some of the decisions we've made throughout

41
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: the game, going forward on fourth down a couple of times,

42
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: and really trying it on a fake punt disguise as

43
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: opposed to just going for it. But we forget the

44
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: emotional aspect of playing this game, and it is there

45
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: almost in every situation. And you can take statistics or

46
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: you can the odds, and if that's the way you

47
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: play it, then you eliminate about eighty percent of what

48
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: goes into making a successful player. In my mind, winning

49
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: it's not so much the decision right or wrong when

50
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: you make it. It's how you respond after you make it.

51
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's the way it is off the

52
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: football field. In business, nobody's smart enough to do better

53
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: than fifty fifty on decision making. Nobody in the world is.

54
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: It's what you do with it after you've made it.

55
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: If you've made a good decision, let it run long,

56
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: use it, used, enthusiasm of it. But if you've made

57
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: a bad one, make the adjustments. And a lot of

58
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: times the bad decisions have been the things that have

59
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: made it. I know in my business life, bad decisions

60
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: getting in a spot, getting in a hard time has

61
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: really caused me in the long run to have turned

62
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: out a lot better. Jerry Jones joined us here one

63
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: oh five through the fans, so you know part of

64
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: these decisions, You know the two point conversion deciding to

65
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: go for two, you're down fifteen, you score, you go

66
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: for two. When you're up there in the booth, like

67
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: in the in the suite, do you have like a

68
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: like the chart handy that they're using down there, or

69
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: are you doing math and the fly like we are

70
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: trying to see if this is the smart decision to

71
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: go for two in this situation. Look, I've got to

72
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: do you realize that if you could do this by statistics,

73
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: if you could do this thing called life, if we

74
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: could do it by statistics and charts the bat. For instance,

75
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: in business, the banks have all the money, and so

76
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: all it need to do is hire all of the

77
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: smart graduates, let them work on their charts, and then

78
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: they'd just take that money and then they would go

79
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: out and use those charts and they'd make all the money.

80
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: That's so stupid. Charts, art, stats, it's a place for it,

81
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: it's a place to have it. But then there's instincts,

82
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: and there's there's motivation, and uh, obviously you've heard this

83
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: till you're blue in the face, I'd have never bought

84
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: to cowboys based on statistics, are based on charts, are

85
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: based on good information. Because all the information said run

86
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: from them. Not by half. The reason we like having

87
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: you on is to talk football. The other half is

88
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: to get the life lessons with business and everything else,

89
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones every Tuesday here on the fan. Now, Jerry,

90
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: we got to balance the win with the very real

91
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: possibility that you guys could have been oh and two.

92
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: How do you balance that and what are you worried

93
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: about with your team that could have been going to

94
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: Seattle this week? Were staring oh and two in the face? Well,

95
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: I think this, Uh, we've got again. We have a

96
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: lot of our football ahead of us, obviously, and I

97
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: would have been saying that had we been owing two

98
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: of how much that we've got ahead of us. You

99
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: just don't like to when at the end of the time,

100
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: whether you go to the playoffs or how you advance

101
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: is a numerical thing, and you don't like to get

102
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: those on the other side of the ledger from you

103
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: didn't have to be making them up. But apart from that,

104
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: it is the just the enthusiasm, just the overcoming some

105
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: of the very things that we're talking about this morning.

106
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: It's what encourages me going to Seattle. Now, we've got

107
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: a lot of work. We're not taking a football team

108
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: into Seattle that's really hitting on all cylinders at all.

109
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of work to do. You saw it. Defensively,

110
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: We've got some serious work to do. We've got alignments

111
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: to work on. We've got to basic, basic, if you will,

112
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 1: a defensive technique to work on. We're still working through

113
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: the kinds of things you might be working through midway

114
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: through training camp. Now other teams are too, and so

115
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: we've got a lot to work on. But that's the

116
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: good news. Boy. If you needed anything for this team

117
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: was to get out around those fans at the stadium,

118
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: get out around or win like that, that'll do more

119
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: than if we'd have had another month to work on

120
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: techniques and structure of our defensive alignment against each one

121
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: of these teams. This game, folks, this game is about passion.

122
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: This game is about who wants it to most. It's

123
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: more about that than it is some of the things

124
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: we run in analytics. Jerry, do you feel like you

125
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: guys had a legitimate home crowd advantage on Sunday? And

126
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: where can it go from here? And what did you

127
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: get in terms of your reports back on the fan

128
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: experience for those that were able to make it to

129
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 1: the game. Well, we've gone to a lot of trouble

130
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: to ask our fans how they how we could do

131
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: it better, particularly in areas of safety, and we were

132
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: quite pleased with how it worked out there Sunday. Can

133
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: we do better, of course we can. But can we

134
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: have more fans, Yes, we can, and we can do

135
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: it safely and we will adjust accordingly. And we could

136
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: have had more fans, but we wanted to go at

137
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: this particular level. But there's no question now as far

138
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: as home field advantage. You know, in thirty years, thirty

139
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: one thirty two years in the NFL, I've never seen

140
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: anybody worried about a home field advantage at the league

141
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: level or at the team level. You always thought you

142
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: were trying to get a home ill advantage. Now getting

143
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: it something else, But you always were trying to work

144
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: toward a home field advantage. And to the end that

145
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: teams want to be aggressive and put fans in the

146
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: stand safely, safely and certainly have fans out there that

147
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: are not vulnerable to the extent you aren't as opposed

148
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: to others do it that way, but have those fans

149
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: out there. I think the NFL is has done a

150
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: great job of getting our game going on time, getting it,

151
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: getting it, getting in the thick of it. We've actually

152
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: kind of had to wake up, if you will, to

153
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: some degree our fans by not having preseason, by kind

154
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: of having this COVID mentality, and so this early part

155
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: of these of this season has been a wake up call,

156
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: so to speak. But boy, here it comes. We're doing

157
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: some excite things out there, and I think the NFL

158
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: is going to have a big year in spite of

159
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: the COVID. Jerry Jones, once you're one to five through

160
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: the FED, do you have an update on Tyring and

161
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: how concerned are you long term you know about his

162
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: health for the next few weeks. Well, the update is,

163
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: actually he didn't play last week in preparation so that

164
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: he could have a better chance of playing this week

165
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: or in the future. I'm gonna say it one more time,

166
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: he didn't play last week in part because we made

167
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: preparations for the future and it wasn't impossible to have

168
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: had him out there last week had we done a

169
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: couple of things differently, But by design we didn't do

170
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: it that way. We wanted to look to the long

171
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: term or the longer term being the next games, the

172
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: ones we're getting ready to play. So I feel as

173
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: good as you can feel. I don't know, and nobody

174
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: knows right now until we get out there and see

175
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: how he's operating during the week here at practice. But uh,

176
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, for the longer term, I feel good about it.

177
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: He's had these periods over the last few years when

178
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: he's had to adjust and literally on a week by

179
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: week basis as to what he's doing with some nerves

180
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: called stingers. Those types of things are the kind of

181
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: thing he's doing with Jerry DeMarcus Lawrence is getting a

182
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: lot of criticism from fans. We know he had limited

183
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: snaps because of a leg issue. What is your assessment

184
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: of Tank the way he's been playing and how is

185
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: he feeling health wise? Well, he's sound physically in my mind. Now,

186
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: does he have a Nick or he had Nick's absolutely,

187
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: But the main thing we found out and when we

188
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: did we put we put it on him good as

189
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, a commitment on him is that heart inside him.

190
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: Now you're talking about a guy that will give you

191
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: everything he's got, and he'll give it all day long,

192
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: and he'll run completely across the field just to get

193
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: an angle. But he's going to give you everything he's got.

194
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: And as we adjust our defense, and we will adjust

195
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: our defense as we adjust that, as we get the

196
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: right combinations of I'm just gonna I'm gonna say tacked,

197
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: tact tacked. Uh. As we make these adjustments, Uh, then

198
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: you're going to see him have more production. But make

199
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: no mistake about it. He's the integral or an integral

200
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: part of what we've got to get to on our pressure. Jerry,

201
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: I know you guys have tried to fill from within

202
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: that that that that was your your you know, your

203
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: preferred way of going about it. You see bringing in

204
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: any outside help you know, Ron LERI old Thomas, anybody

205
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: else like that. I was not wrong, but anyone else

206
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: to come in here to help out an injured roster. Yeah,

207
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: you're going to have to keep your eyes open this

208
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: year and keep loose. You're going to have to do

209
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: that personnel wise. This is uh, the rosters were expanded.

210
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: Different rules that you've got relative to your practice squad

211
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: to bringing them over. Who gets exposed? Can you bring

212
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: them over without exposing them? Exposing them being another team

213
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: have the ability to get them. All of that was

214
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: loosened up because it was anticipated during this COVID that

215
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: you could have players and dare I say injury more

216
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: instance of injury because you're having more players play that

217
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: don't have weeks and weeks and weeks of competitive conditioning.

218
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: And I emphasize the word competitive conditioning. No one knew

219
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: this is a first. There were times when they spent

220
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks and weeks in years past working out

221
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: in training camp type environment. One light on the contact,

222
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: but weeks and weeks and weeks in a competitive situation

223
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: that makes a difference. You just can't push yourself hard

224
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: enough without supervision, in my mind, and so with all

225
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: of that in mind, I think we will see more

226
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: more non turnovers not the word, but you'll see more

227
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: time spent adding players to rosters and that won't just

228
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: be us that'll lead you out the NFL. Jerry TV

229
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: ratings down twenty percent for week two, down twenty percent.

230
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: We went locally in DFW Monday night football opener in

231
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: DFW the doubleheader was down about fifty percent. Are these

232
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: crazy eyebrows? These numbers around the league? What do you

233
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: make of? What do you think the reason is? For

234
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: the drop in the in the in the TV ratings,

235
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: well whatever of whatever it is, it's a long way

236
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: out front from anything else. It's a long way out

237
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: in front of anything else. And so you have to

238
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: look at just the time being spent relative to traditional television.

239
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: You have to look at measurements, how we're measuring the

240
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: time spend on your digital area. All of those things

241
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: not excuses in any way. I'm just proud that our

242
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: game has the strength of viewership and has the strength

243
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: of interest that makes it. I think what last week

244
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: were we were the top five programs in television. And

245
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: of course you've got a lot of of if you

246
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: will transition going from some of the cable viewership. I

247
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: think that viewership there were pretty close to one hundred

248
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: and something million subscribers ten years ago. Now they're eighty

249
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: eight million subscribers. So that's down ten or twelve percent

250
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: from where it was. Now you've had growth during that time,

251
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: so you've got a factor that you didn't get that

252
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: share of the growth. But then you've had a swing

253
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: over to the digital world, and that world now as

254
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: being combined coordinated in with traditional television. All of that

255
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: has always been since I've been involved in the NFL,

256
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: not me being involved, but since I've been involved, we

257
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: have benefited from such keen interests. You can take all

258
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: the major sports that are an adam all up, and

259
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: we still are many many times that viewership. Now, for

260
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: where I'm coming from here is you can't just dwell

261
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: in on a given weekend or a given circumstance. A

262
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: lot of times we've had, we've noticed last few years,

263
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: you have a lot of downtime in down raiding time.

264
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: When you have an election year, especially a presidential election year,

265
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: all of that you'd consider. I do know this that

266
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: it's the strongest as far as getting somebody in front

267
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: of a TV set that is going to make a

268
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: decision in this country, an economic decision in this country.

269
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: As far as getting those people in front of a

270
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: TV set, the NFL is going in a way the

271
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: most efficient economically wigh to get your message out to

272
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: a decision maker in this country. Well, look, Jerry, when

273
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: you guys win like you did on Sunday, you make

274
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: us happier, You make DFW happier, you give us an

275
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: uplifting spirit about the entire week. Let's keep it going

276
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: for Sunday in Seattle. Congratulations on a historic, unbelievable win,

277
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: and let's try to get to two and one. Well,

278
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: I agree. I had to pinch myself there. I was

279
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: sitting there after that game the other day and I

280
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: can remember thirty something years ago and I said, I

281
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: just cannot believe that it's as exciting as it is

282
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: to get to be a part of a win like

283
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: this under these circumstances. And it's just like the old

284
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: Iden Golden in Heaven. I think a truck hit me

285
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: thirty years ago, and I've been in heaven for thirty years.

286
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones every single Tuesday was shot and r J

287
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: told y'all we were going to celebrate Jerry. Stay safe,

288
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: have a great week. We'll talk to you on Tuesday.

289
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys,
