Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the Player's Lounge,
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star No.
Speaker 1: Your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCrae, and New He scrugs, Yes, sir, Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1: Welcome to March, gentlemen. Welcome to Mars, the best month
Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah, I say second, but you know, huh,
Speaker 1: it's all good. Mar March tenth is the best day,
Speaker 1: best day, the best day of the year. Is that
Speaker 1: your Birthday's When I getting younger, it's like, I'm glad
Speaker 1: you told me. Always. It's always pretty break every time somebody,
Speaker 1: especially growing up, it was like my birthday call everybody else. See.
Speaker 1: Had I known that, I would have waited and got you,
Speaker 1: we could have done your paint the bet on that.
Speaker 1: But I took care of it. I took care of me,
Speaker 1: all right. You're the Player's launch. Barry Church for Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys safety Danny mcraig, m Dallas Cowboys safety demon. I
Speaker 1: am knew, he scrugs, a long time Medium member here
Speaker 1: covering the team consecutive weeks. Yes, Yes, three, it's done
Speaker 1: back in it though, yes we are. Let's just dive
Speaker 1: and go go ahead heavy and get right on at all.
Speaker 1: Byron Jones, my guy, Byron Jones, free agent to be
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said Indianapolis, we probably can't afford him. We
Speaker 1: talked to his people, but we know we probably can't
Speaker 1: afford him. So I called someone in the know around
Speaker 1: around here, and I said, give me the word you
Speaker 1: would use to describe Byron Jones. Because I was listening
Speaker 1: to the draft show that we do here Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot Com and and one of the guys on the
Speaker 1: said by and Jones is a great corner. And so
Speaker 1: I asked this person in the building, what's the word
Speaker 1: you use. He said, he's not great. He says productive.
Speaker 1: I said, okay, and he said, here's what also makes
Speaker 1: him productive. He says he's really good. And pressed, he says,
Speaker 1: if he goes to a team where where they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to play more his zone, he said, that's not
Speaker 1: what they need to do. He says, look at Josh Norman.
Speaker 1: Josh Norman playing zone in Carolina. Suppose when they had
Speaker 1: that good front up there, he got Kicklee and Thomas Davis.
Speaker 1: All right, he looked good. All of a sudden they
Speaker 1: go to Washington. They want this man to sit up
Speaker 1: here in places man and pressing who whoa. He was
Speaker 1: not good. So that was his word on Byron and
Speaker 1: for me because the Draft show said, hey, he's a
Speaker 1: top ten quarter. Jeff Caepino, I was here saying he
Speaker 1: was a top ten quarter. And I love everything Byron
Speaker 1: Jones is as a man. Okay, he's a tremendous teammate.
Speaker 1: But now you're talking about writing a check. And we've
Speaker 1: said it before here, I'll say it again. I can't
Speaker 1: write that check for a guy that doesn't get interception.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, if I'm paying for
Speaker 1: a corner and paying that kind of money, I need
Speaker 1: Rivera's type production. That's not what it gives you. Somebody's
Speaker 1: going to pay him a lot of money and they're
Speaker 1: gonna they're going to be happy. But he's not a
Speaker 1: great corner. That's what I got. It's your turn. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it changed the scenery is it's
Speaker 1: probably good for Byron. I really can't remember the last
Speaker 1: corner that we had that just had a tremendous amount
Speaker 1: of success. As far as going to get the ball
Speaker 1: like that, Right, So it's not like it's something that
Speaker 1: that happens here all the time. But then some people
Speaker 1: leave and go other places and they play better and
Speaker 1: they get different opportunities because in a different scheme. I
Speaker 1: think Byron has the ability to go be a ball haulk,
Speaker 1: but I also think he's a great corner because he's
Speaker 1: specifically an eracer. Right. It is you would play top
Speaker 1: dollar to be to have an eracer on your team. Right.
Speaker 1: If you have a guy that you're going against like
Speaker 1: Odell or you're going against a DeAndre Hopkins or something
Speaker 1: like that, Man, you have somebody that you can put
Speaker 1: on him and you say, hey, man, you don't have
Speaker 1: to get no interception, just limit him to three catches
Speaker 1: for fifty yards. Can't we good? You pay top dollar
Speaker 1: for that minus picks. Yeah, that's something you want on
Speaker 1: your team because those guys give you headaches as defensive coordinators, like,
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do with this guy? Do we
Speaker 1: have to double them? We're gonna in and all of them?
Speaker 1: Do we have to put somebody over the top. If
Speaker 1: you get a corner back who can just take them
Speaker 1: away one on one, that's worth top dollar. To me,
Speaker 1: that is worth fifteen million because the guy on the
Speaker 1: other side of the guy that he's shutting out is
Speaker 1: getting fifteen mil. Okay, is good. Fifteen plus fifteen plus
Speaker 1: all right, Church, I was the biggest proprietor of buying Jones.
Speaker 1: I think you know, he's like you said, it's a
Speaker 1: great corner. He excels in press man and man coverage.
Speaker 1: Like you said, he's kind of in a race for
Speaker 1: like that half of the field. You can kind of say,
Speaker 1: maybe we'll just have to post safety. We don't need
Speaker 1: a full safety over the top of Andy's versatile. He
Speaker 1: can play in the slot outside, he can play safety
Speaker 1: a little bit. But then you start talking about this number.
Speaker 1: Fifteen mills, teen meal, seventeen mil. That's a lot of
Speaker 1: money to write a check for a guy that just
Speaker 1: doesn't get thee doesn't get the ball. He does. He
Speaker 1: has two career in exception with five years too. In
Speaker 1: five years, I mean, he isn't a racer. I've seen
Speaker 1: people get a couple of catches on him, but he
Speaker 1: does kind of shut down a half of the field.
Speaker 1: But for me, if I'm writing a check to a
Speaker 1: guy for fifteen sixteen seventeen, mil I need him to
Speaker 1: be able to set up my office a little bit
Speaker 1: better by taking the ball away in the other person's
Speaker 1: territorial or making a game changing, momentum changing type play
Speaker 1: for me that fifteen sixteen. You're like you said, there's
Speaker 1: gotta be a revers type or I wouldn't even say
Speaker 1: Sherman because he's not a great press corner, but he
Speaker 1: gets the ball. Stephan Gilmer, that's the type of guy.
Speaker 1: And he's getting like sixteen millions. That's number one. That's
Speaker 1: number one corner. There maybe a rams. You can also
Speaker 1: go for mark speakers, and he can get all the
Speaker 1: I want. I would never get he's too much of
Speaker 1: the gamble. Everything on picks. It's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: who are gamblers, and you see them do squatting on
Speaker 1: routes and getting them special and they got great corners.
Speaker 1: But yeah they turned the ball. They turned the ball over,
Speaker 1: but they still get told like people are going at
Speaker 1: them for that number. I'm thinking more of Gilmore, Patrick Peterson,
Speaker 1: those type of guys who can excel at press, but
Speaker 1: as well they're like receivers when the balls in the air. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think those dudes, and so what you just to me, Okay,
Speaker 1: you just named great corners, and great corners get great paydays.
Speaker 1: And to me this falls not as much but a
Speaker 1: little bit into the DeMarco Murray peal where DeMarco was
Speaker 1: here my thing. I said, look, DeMarco had a great season,
Speaker 1: that's why his NFL officer player. But he wasn't a
Speaker 1: great player, but he wanted a great contract, which Philadelphia
Speaker 1: gave him. In Philadelphia ended up being unhappy. Then he
Speaker 1: went to Tennessee. And it's always interesting when you lower
Speaker 1: expectations on a guy. Then he was Okay, It's like
Speaker 1: Brandon car Brandon Carr was a good player. He got
Speaker 1: fifty millions, but you gave a guy who was a
Speaker 1: number two corner in Kansas City fifty million and said
Speaker 1: go be a one, which he wasn't. He's gone to
Speaker 1: Baltimore and he's excelled. And I just feel like for
Speaker 1: Byron Jones, somebody's gonna pay that note and they're gonna say, well,
Speaker 1: where's this great corner, and you're gonna realize he's a
Speaker 1: productive guy, but he can also go excel. I just
Speaker 1: I'm just looking back and I'm thinking that like cornerbacks
Speaker 1: that we've had in our systems who've been able to
Speaker 1: go create those turnovers, and we haven't had that here specifically,
Speaker 1: So could it be? Could it be us? You see
Speaker 1: the way that we play, Like if you look at
Speaker 1: like even Tyran Matthew and Pat Peterson, all those guys,
Speaker 1: the thing that they have about them is the coordinator
Speaker 1: has this this belief in them and they let them
Speaker 1: go out there and play any way they want to. Hey,
Speaker 1: you want to play off, you want to play press
Speaker 1: this time? And those guys are out there and they
Speaker 1: and they perfect their cramps so much that they're able
Speaker 1: to trick guys into runing certain rounds, to trick quarterbacks
Speaker 1: into throwing certain stuff that they shouldn't be throwing. Us
Speaker 1: is hey, Byron, go out there and press. So if
Speaker 1: he goes to another guy in the right defensive coordinat
Speaker 1: that gets his hands on him, he's like, hey, this
Speaker 1: this is this is what you do, right, We're gonna
Speaker 1: maximize your skills this way, and you can see this
Speaker 1: and then go out there and get picks, and all
Speaker 1: you saying like this guy's productive now, So all three
Speaker 1: of us agree, he's gonna get fifteen mil at least,
Speaker 1: So this in turn starts to become another reason why,
Speaker 1: ultimately why he's going to go. You have to pay
Speaker 1: Dak top dollar. You have to pay Amari Cooper top dollar.
Speaker 1: You gotta pay Byron Jones. You really don't have, at
Speaker 1: least listening to the Cowboys, the ability to sign all
Speaker 1: three guys to these types of deal going on to you.
Speaker 1: You've already paid, You're running back top dollar. You've paid
Speaker 1: your center top dollars, you paid your guard top back,
Speaker 1: You've paid, You've paid your defensive in the richest contracts
Speaker 1: in Cowboys history. Somewhere along the way, some dudes got
Speaker 1: to come in here on these t J Maxteas contract
Speaker 1: talking about well, well, we said on a couple of
Speaker 1: players lounges back. But you know, I felt I gotta
Speaker 1: go ahead and take care of the guy up front.
Speaker 1: I gotta take care of the guy in front to
Speaker 1: take care of the guy in the back. And this
Speaker 1: is also for me. I feel like I can get
Speaker 1: someone at seventeen in the draft at corner and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna this is why I'm gonna go to my coach,
Speaker 1: Mike go. I need I need you to work to Matt,
Speaker 1: you and Al Harris need you guys, works some magic,
Speaker 1: because this is gonna be where you start to take
Speaker 1: this team if you execute the contracts that you say
Speaker 1: you want to for Cooper and Prescott, You've got to
Speaker 1: start to figure out, how do we draft guys, especially
Speaker 1: your guys in the first three rounds? How do we
Speaker 1: draft these guys, develop these guys and have these guys
Speaker 1: here for four and five years UM at a low cost.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough. So do you think we have
Speaker 1: the depth here? I was gonna say so. So our
Speaker 1: top two corners right now, they who are not service
Speaker 1: so we can. But he's a free agent. I'm saying
Speaker 1: that they can also choose to pay him, Like, is
Speaker 1: this just out of the question. We have to go
Speaker 1: get a corner if we lose Byron and then we
Speaker 1: leave on us side because I think Jordan, I don't
Speaker 1: know if Jordan can consistently plan on he's I don't think.
Speaker 1: I think, Well, his price tag may go down because
Speaker 1: of the injury. Yeah, so price tag may go down.
Speaker 1: And I look at drafting a corner from this standpoint
Speaker 1: with a Woozier and Lewis becoming free agents. After the season,
Speaker 1: you've got to start to rebuild it. But then I
Speaker 1: have someone tell me who's covered the team a long time.
Speaker 1: He said, well, after you let Byron Jones go, if
Speaker 1: you blow up your whole DBS back there, he says,
Speaker 1: are you losing anything? He said, what have they? What
Speaker 1: have they truly accomplished and done? That's true, you know
Speaker 1: this ain't the legion Steves back here. So so from
Speaker 1: that stage, and and you think about how Belichick and
Speaker 1: I know we're always talking with the outlier, but Belichick
Speaker 1: a Pete Carroll, guys who've gone out, who have specialties
Speaker 1: and secondaries and decided to, hey, let's go change some
Speaker 1: pieces and add some things here and there. But at
Speaker 1: some point in time, that's what you have to do
Speaker 1: as a team. You're going to have some warts. You're
Speaker 1: gonna how do we fill it in here? How do
Speaker 1: we go find some value guys? How do we find
Speaker 1: guys that fit? And that'll be the interesting thing about
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan and what Mike Nolan and Will McClay and
Speaker 1: how they get into a room and figure out how
Speaker 1: do we go about finding guys who fit exactly what
Speaker 1: it is we do. Tell me do you think Mike
Speaker 1: Nolan is pushing it all for Byron Jones to be here? No,
Speaker 1: not at all. The and this this is great you
Speaker 1: say this, and I don't have the exact quote, but
Speaker 1: it was somewhere along the lines of, Hey, I fear
Speaker 1: the guy who can or you know, give me the
Speaker 1: guy who can take it back sits something something Yet, yes,
Speaker 1: it's not afraid to throw it that somebody who can
Speaker 1: bat the ball down or something like that. Yeah, don't,
Speaker 1: don't bring Peter's back here. It'll be upset people in
Speaker 1: me here from from New York's the Squad on everything
Speaker 1: you're talking about, Jack Rabbit. He go ahead, listen, go
Speaker 1: out there and just focus on interceptions if you want to,
Speaker 1: you'd be giving up a lot of yard balls. That
Speaker 1: is true. I specifically see Michael Thomas running down the
Speaker 1: field of Marcus Peters twenty eighth. Yeah, go over. So
Speaker 1: I think that Byron Jones is going to find a
Speaker 1: great contract, but he's a productive player. And this is
Speaker 1: something that happens a lot of times in the NFL
Speaker 1: where free agents because teams are desperate, they're gonna pay
Speaker 1: a high note because that's what they've got to do
Speaker 1: to get a guy. I mean, and you go ahead
Speaker 1: and you do, or you got teams that know, all right,
Speaker 1: we're not great. So in order for us to get you,
Speaker 1: we gotta rack you a great check. So so you say, mamma,
Speaker 1: look at these numbers. They're not any good. Mamma, look
Speaker 1: at these numbers. You'll get out of bed in. Your
Speaker 1: agent says, I know they're not any good, but look
Speaker 1: at these numb numbers. Look at these numbers, and that's
Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna have to have to do. But
Speaker 1: along the way, if the Calgoies are going to execute
Speaker 1: these deals that they want you, they're going to have
Speaker 1: to find guys that they that they pay a little
Speaker 1: bit less money to develop. And you go from there.
Speaker 1: You cannot sign everyone. That's that's that thing. In a way,
Speaker 1: Byron was done in by not being a But if
Speaker 1: let's say he was free at you last year, probably
Speaker 1: is a deal done. Yeah, the whole timing, I mean,
Speaker 1: you're standing in line right here, and it's tough because
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. In my opinion, this is where we'll differ.
Speaker 1: I believe Cooper is more valuable than Jones. If you
Speaker 1: were going to go out here and give Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: a big time contract, which the owner says he's going
Speaker 1: to do. You must bring and you must keep the
Speaker 1: number one receiver. Mike McCarthy, your new head coach has
Speaker 1: come here and he's already said, I want Cooper and
Speaker 1: I want Cop back. Cop played for him in Green Bay.
Speaker 1: So if the head coach is new and he's coming
Speaker 1: in here telling you this is what he wants to do,
Speaker 1: and he wants the quarterback and he thinks the quarterback
Speaker 1: as super Bowl, you gotta bring Cooper back. You've put
Speaker 1: yourself in this position that you now have to write
Speaker 1: the chip. Just don't take Cooper on the road. Now,
Speaker 1: let's good, good, Let's hear from it to night. Let's
Speaker 1: hear for the four time Pro bowler on one oh
Speaker 1: five three the fan. Yeah, I mean listen, I love
Speaker 1: being a Dallas Cowboy. Um. I love everything about it.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about that today. I think about
Speaker 1: it almost every day really, you know, just primetime games
Speaker 1: because we play it seems like more nine games than
Speaker 1: anybody and that always feels good to a football player.
Speaker 1: You know everything, the facility. I love it here, Crystal,
Speaker 1: I said, Now, mister, all of being a Dallas Cowboy.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't beat it. So I want to
Speaker 1: be a Dallas cow wars for a lot. So that
Speaker 1: is Amari Cooper on one h five three the Fan.
Speaker 1: Here is my take and what you know? I want
Speaker 1: you guys to give me your how you translated, Amari Cooper.
Speaker 1: I used to play at Alabama. We were on TV
Speaker 1: every week. It was a brand, and people loved the
Speaker 1: brand of Alabama. I would to the Raiders. I got vanished.
Speaker 1: It was a really bad facility I played in and
Speaker 1: the organization was kind of I come back here to Dallas.
Speaker 1: Now I'm on TV every week. I might be able
Speaker 1: to line up some endorsements. Amasis especially when I see
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith is getting some stuff, so I can get
Speaker 1: some of that too. I get me a little taste.
Speaker 1: I want to be where the brand is. I want
Speaker 1: to be in at the Cowboys and the quarterback and
Speaker 1: I we get along, and the quarterback is going to
Speaker 1: be here. I want to be next to the guy
Speaker 1: that guy. That's how I took that comment. All right,
Speaker 1: Barry Church and go first, had you take it? I
Speaker 1: agree with you one hundred percent on that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like you know in Alabama, he was he
Speaker 1: was a part of a brand. He was a part
Speaker 1: of this you know, Big Time. We're Saturday nights, We're
Speaker 1: Saturday evenings, whatever. And when he came here, they gain
Speaker 1: you know, night games, like he said, Monday night primetime,
Speaker 1: Thursday night primetime. And if you listen to the interview,
Speaker 1: this is the first interview I've heard from him where
Speaker 1: he actually seemed excited, like he seemed like there was
Speaker 1: some upbeat to him. Like those other interviews he sold
Speaker 1: just just melancholy, just you know, level, just yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: this is how I do. But this one, he asked,
Speaker 1: he seemed like he had some excitement about it. Just
Speaker 1: love being talking about dogs, love being in Dallas. So
Speaker 1: I think it's all about the brand for him, expanding
Speaker 1: his own brand, and the best player to do that
Speaker 1: is with this organization. No poke holes in it, Danny.
Speaker 1: You know, I think that as well. But also think
Speaker 1: that that grass ain't green. On the other side. Oh
Speaker 1: that's also that's also becoming something that said at the
Speaker 1: front of his mind, I was in I was in Oakland,
Speaker 1: and the facilities were bad. They probably did training camp
Speaker 1: someone when he didn't like no, it wasn't well, it
Speaker 1: was the set up like it was a residence here. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll take that one. I'll take that one anyway. So
Speaker 1: it wasn't as good. So he comes here. He's in Frisco,
Speaker 1: up and coming city. They got training camp out there,
Speaker 1: back in California. Whether's nights. He got his own room
Speaker 1: at the residences, dorm rooms. It's all love here. Everything
Speaker 1: is first class. They riding trains to back and when
Speaker 1: it was there San Diego like everything that Jerry does
Speaker 1: his first class. So he walks from Oakland to here
Speaker 1: and it's like, where where else would I get this? Nowhere?
Speaker 1: I know what a matter of fact, let me show
Speaker 1: some excitement because because because the other options could be
Speaker 1: horrible for me, and no holes, and it's the brand.
Speaker 1: The brand's also it's comfortable in the south of where
Speaker 1: he's you know, Alabama's in the south. We're in the
Speaker 1: south over here. Yeah, he just likes this. Maybe just
Speaker 1: not not very comfortable living out of here. You got
Speaker 1: he got you walking? Yeah, boy, what's up? You know?
Speaker 1: Access a lot of pros right to being here with
Speaker 1: the cowbit, and I feel like those things will weigh
Speaker 1: into that and they will get something done. It's just
Speaker 1: a matter of how they do it. You also, and
Speaker 1: this is where tech Tram and the Cowboys had really
Speaker 1: were so smart by being in the NFC East. You
Speaker 1: get in New York, number one TV market out there,
Speaker 1: you're Washington, You're out there on the East coast, Nation's capital, Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: you know top you know, top six, top six TV market,
Speaker 1: I mean right out there. I mean, and and you
Speaker 1: play in the Eastern time zone, so people see your games.
Speaker 1: When you were with the Raiders, you're playing the late
Speaker 1: games there, and so you contrast those markets versus when
Speaker 1: you were with the Raiders playing playing the Chargers, playing
Speaker 1: Kansas City, playing Denver. I mean, you're just not going
Speaker 1: to get the kind of juice. And as you talked
Speaker 1: about with the Cowboys, NBC's maximum a team can be
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football is three. Cowboys get three games
Speaker 1: every year, three and usually they're on the first two
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. So they try to get Cowboys
Speaker 1: in as quick as they can. So you got three
Speaker 1: NBC games. They're always on Monday Night Football. That's four
Speaker 1: national games. You're on Thanksgiving Day the holding three three o'clock.
Speaker 1: No competition that's five. Then now they played the other
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. That's six games right there. If you're
Speaker 1: really good, they're gonna flex the game, probably in a
Speaker 1: NBC CBS is gonna get you for at least one prize.
Speaker 1: I remember the Jets game this year, the Jets, that
Speaker 1: was really good. It just has to be. It would
Speaker 1: be put the Cowboy. The Cowboys and the Jets were
Speaker 1: there Prime Time Romo and Nance, and I said myself,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, they've been the Jets have been getting
Speaker 1: killed and Donald's been out a month. How is this
Speaker 1: a game of the week because it's the Cowboys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was, though it was someone weble to talk about.
Speaker 1: Oh man, we came out and played talking about right,
Speaker 1: and so so that's the ability to me. If you
Speaker 1: were if you can get your number and you stay
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, you do it. You were in the
Speaker 1: position you couldn't get your number, so you had to
Speaker 1: go to go. But if you could have got your
Speaker 1: nums staying here, even if it was a meal short,
Speaker 1: I would have probably stayed here five hundred thousand last week.
Speaker 1: He said, no, now you're talking about a million. Yes.
Speaker 1: In front of his mind too. He was driving through
Speaker 1: the day. He was like, you know what now of
Speaker 1: that experience elsewhere? I'm like, I can go back, man,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I think was like, where am
Speaker 1: I what I said? It's a beach. What were we doing? No,
Speaker 1: capitin't know? No man, you know woman, let me back
Speaker 1: to dollars first light back still to come. Here on

Speaker 1: The Undefeated dot com came out with an article and
Speaker 1: the headline says, not to be forgotten, Kobe Bryant was
Speaker 1: a black man who even now I dived into this
Speaker 1: and this is a whole big column about questioning Kobe
Speaker 1: Bryant's blackness and authenticity of being black, and it absolutely
Speaker 1: drove me crazy. And a part of this says because
Speaker 1: Bryant's blackness has been a source of contention in debate
Speaker 1: since ever since he was a high school phenom in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Bryant's father, Joe, told The New York Times in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety six that his son was quote not a stereotypical
Speaker 1: black kid from an urban setting end quote. Bryant. His
Speaker 1: father added that he had both parents, two older sisters
Speaker 1: in college, good grades, at a good suburban school, and
Speaker 1: it was kind of had a kind of sophistication about him. Now, look,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this right now. I was around
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant for four years, from his rookie year till
Speaker 1: they won their first championship. At no point in time
Speaker 1: did I ever questioned Kobe's blackness or felt like Kobe
Speaker 1: didn't know he was black. Kobe Bryant came into the
Speaker 1: league talking like and had a bald head and wanted
Speaker 1: to be Michael Jordan, and he had that type of
Speaker 1: work ethic. And when I read this, and I go
Speaker 1: into this where they talk about, well, you know, there's
Speaker 1: Alan I ever said he had the tattoos, he had
Speaker 1: the corn rows, and people Philadelphia related more to him.
Speaker 1: Even though Kobe was from Philadelphia, Philadelphia didn't exactly embrace him.
Speaker 1: That somehow Kobe Bryant wasn't blacking them, which bothers the
Speaker 1: absolute living daylights out of me, because I just think
Speaker 1: it is so wrong that we unless somehow you fit
Speaker 1: into a cultural stereotype, but you think someone black should
Speaker 1: be that somebody from the If you're NBA and you're black,
Speaker 1: that you must somehow not have had a father around,
Speaker 1: that you grew up in the projects somewhere, and somehow
Speaker 1: you avoided ten ten rounds of gunfire to go to
Speaker 1: school every day. But then they said, oh look it's him.
Speaker 1: Let her to the blacktop. Everybody put your guns down, gangs,
Speaker 1: leave them alone. That's our that's our shines. Guy. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be the next doctor. Like just people, not even
Speaker 1: just about sports. It's just the fact that the general relation.
Speaker 1: General relation comes in that it's just one way for
Speaker 1: a black person to be. Yes, it's just one one,
Speaker 1: that's all. So you have to be from the ghetto.
Speaker 1: You have to have a single parent, like a single
Speaker 1: parent home. All this has to be true for you
Speaker 1: to like really beat black and be able to embrace it.
Speaker 1: Everybody don't grow up like that. It don't. He's not
Speaker 1: even a typical Like he's not even a typical athlete.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who can speak with
Speaker 1: the three, three or four different languages. I mean this
Speaker 1: guys all start an NBA, had a great career, and
Speaker 1: then his post career, his second career was almost it
Speaker 1: was becoming even better than his first career. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's just not a typical person. There's plenty of educated
Speaker 1: black men that have not come from the hood, and
Speaker 1: they came from from parents that were wealthy exactly, and
Speaker 1: they still can't understand that they are black and what
Speaker 1: they came from. That has nothing to do with how
Speaker 1: black cople brown. Let me read more of this from
Speaker 1: The Undefeated. For some Bryant wasn't black enough. He didn't
Speaker 1: marry a black woman, his afro was too nappy. He,
Speaker 1: like Michael Jordan, didn't speak out on social issues. He
Speaker 1: was a seller. Bryant's class status separated him from other
Speaker 1: black superstars. Early in his career, some NBA player said
Speaker 1: they couldn't relate to Brian because of his upgreen upbringing
Speaker 1: as both a suburban kid and the son of an
Speaker 1: NBA player. According to a twenty twelve Washington Post story,
Speaker 1: Philadelphians accepted Alan Iverson as their own over Kobe Bryant,
Speaker 1: despite Iverson growing up three hundred miles away in Hampton, Virginia.
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant never outwardly acknowledged the question about questions about
Speaker 1: his blackness, but it was clear he was aware of
Speaker 1: his reputation because he thought it was dumb and he
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't need to defend it. Yeah. Now let
Speaker 1: me also throw this out here. Okay, Um, black players
Speaker 1: haven't exactly done a good job of brushing and tearing
Speaker 1: down some of these stereotypes. If you watched that Fab
Speaker 1: five documentary that Jalen Rose helped produced, Jalen Rose talked
Speaker 1: in there that they thought about the black guys at Duke's.
Speaker 1: When I was doing my radio show at NBC Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: I had a good conversation station with Jason Williams. By
Speaker 1: Jason got fired up because it was this premise that
Speaker 1: somehow Jason wasn't black enough. And the other guy they
Speaker 1: heard it too, and they didn't like it. And my
Speaker 1: thing was it was frustrated me and I love Jalen
Speaker 1: as a person could do, but we go penalize Grant
Speaker 1: because his parents with the college and they gave me
Speaker 1: every advantage that they could. Versus Jalen's dad, who wasn't
Speaker 1: NBA player Jimmy Walker. Okay, his dad wasn't. Dad wasn't
Speaker 1: in his life. Dad basically didn't claim. I just feel like,
Speaker 1: how is this? How does this make you more black?
Speaker 1: This is it's one word. This is jealousy. It's envy
Speaker 1: like and it can be that. But you don't have
Speaker 1: to question who they are because of that. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you wish that you grew up, you know, and in
Speaker 1: a better place with two famish too, parent household and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. You wish that happened. It didn't happen
Speaker 1: for you. Don't hit on the next dude because they
Speaker 1: got it. We're not gonna see that hate on Romo
Speaker 1: because we throw the podcast over. He gets grabs to you.
Speaker 1: You nobody like, it's no reason for somebody to hate
Speaker 1: like that. And that's just envious man, you know, changing
Speaker 1: for yourself or changing for your kids. But don't hate
Speaker 1: on the next person, because your kids are now the
Speaker 1: people that exactly so you so you got money and
Speaker 1: they grew up wealthy, so now somebody else can call
Speaker 1: them the same thing that you're gonna be calling the
Speaker 1: dudes from exactly and you when you mentioned the word, hey,
Speaker 1: I call self hate. That's some self hate where you
Speaker 1: sit around here and you look at this guy and
Speaker 1: and like you and you know the envia, Well he
Speaker 1: had this, he's not really black. When I speak at schools,
Speaker 1: I try to make it a point to to message
Speaker 1: myself to the minority kids and just say, look, um,
Speaker 1: don't fall into this stereotype that you are being white
Speaker 1: if you get good grades because you're black or Latino,
Speaker 1: and don't don't fall into that. Don't fall into the
Speaker 1: you're acting white if you sit to the front of
Speaker 1: the class the end of the day. If you want
Speaker 1: to go to Wall Street, go to Wall Street, but
Speaker 1: hanging out on a corner street, it's not gonna get
Speaker 1: you where you want to go. But do not fall
Speaker 1: into that, and do not fall into me, Oh well
Speaker 1: you you talk white. No, No, if you speak English,
Speaker 1: you speak English. You do not have to use ebonics
Speaker 1: to be quote unquote black. I mean, you have a
Speaker 1: lot of these kids that are in elementary school and
Speaker 1: junior high that feel this stuff and think they have
Speaker 1: to act a certain way and be and you know,
Speaker 1: it's just wrong. Did these stereotypes had been pushed by
Speaker 1: media of what they think that you are. If you're
Speaker 1: black or brown, you you are. We've got to stop that.
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that I always say,
Speaker 1: and I have teachers who come up to me afterwards
Speaker 1: thank you for saying that. I mean, I would have
Speaker 1: people who would who would get on me because I
Speaker 1: was on the debate team when I was in high school.
Speaker 1: I remember guys getting honest because we played baseball. Seriously,
Speaker 1: bank you play that's a white boy sport like And
Speaker 1: what I come back to is one, yourself haye treated
Speaker 1: Two you also don't know enough about black people exactly.
Speaker 1: You think that's all that you know. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you want to say, go go read about Jackie Robs,
Speaker 1: go read about you know, Joe Black and Don Newcomb
Speaker 1: and how many great black players have shaped the game.
Speaker 1: So so I always there's a lot of stubset this
Speaker 1: self Patreon also just not ignorance. A lot of people
Speaker 1: don't know about black history, right, They don't know enough
Speaker 1: about black history to even understand where did you come
Speaker 1: from when you come out and you say crazy statements.
Speaker 1: But baseball is a white man's sport. No, no, it's not,
Speaker 1: it's not. We didn't always have the opportunity to play
Speaker 1: at the major league level. But you go back, you
Speaker 1: start to look at the negro leagues, look at cool
Speaker 1: Papa Belt as you see, there's a lot of great
Speaker 1: players there. So it's it's this article frustrated me because
Speaker 1: it just brought up so many stereotypes that are absolutely wrong.
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, um was black is you and me and
Speaker 1: everybody else. Um, buddy mine is a speaker named Del
Speaker 1: Tour McNeil. He has a great line he says, celebrate
Speaker 1: your own uniqueness because if two of us are the same,
Speaker 1: one of us is not needed. That is true. And
Speaker 1: too many times we wanted to point out to someone
Speaker 1: like Kobe Bryant, who's who's unique, and just saying you
Speaker 1: don't fit into the stereotype. So therefore we got to
Speaker 1: take your car. When Oscar Deloya was fighting out in
Speaker 1: La and became a world champion. I worked out there.
Speaker 1: There were people in La Okay Oscar East La owned
Speaker 1: who didn't like him. People were saying he was really
Speaker 1: his own people. Man, he's not a real Mexican fighter.
Speaker 1: He doesn't he doesn't stand in there at throw blows.
Speaker 1: They loved childs who says chid? I mean, and I
Speaker 1: could not believe. Then when Oscar got a house at
Speaker 1: the beach, there were people out there saying, the Oscar man,
Speaker 1: you're not real. You left? Would you want him to
Speaker 1: go back? Who wouldn't want to live in the beach?
Speaker 1: I mean, And I could not believe the own self hate,
Speaker 1: hatred that he suffered in his own community instead of
Speaker 1: people staying out there, Hey Oscar, thank you man, thank
Speaker 1: you for doing what you Thank you for being a
Speaker 1: wall by. It is like the Undefeated, by the way, well,
Speaker 1: but the Undefeated is is ESPN's African American website. But
Speaker 1: these articles are geared towards African Americans. I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is what you guys are writing, this is this is
Speaker 1: the catalyst of that, Like this is something that somebody
Speaker 1: would read and they would say, oh, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: He showed us rich. He showed this in the front
Speaker 1: of the class. He showed this, So maybe he's not
Speaker 1: especially if this problem or these problems that people would
Speaker 1: write this article and then somebody younger reads it and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they feel the same way,
Speaker 1: or somebody in that situation of where they are they
Speaker 1: are poor, or they are in a single parent household,
Speaker 1: and they read that, and I was it's like confirming
Speaker 1: how they feel. I knew this was happening. Yeah, I knew.
Speaker 1: Everybody said that, even even Jay jay le Roe said that. Man,
Speaker 1: look where he's I knew it continues because one of
Speaker 1: stuff like that and then of ignorance. You know, nobody's
Speaker 1: gonna teach them. Well you you tried, but you got
Speaker 1: to have many voices speaking there, not a few. Know.
Speaker 1: All we can do is you take our platform and
Speaker 1: let let kids know that you know there is shoot.
Speaker 1: Education is your way out. You don't have to just
Speaker 1: throw a ball to get out of there, right, There's
Speaker 1: plenty of different ways to get out of there. Look
Speaker 1: in the mirror, Broby was black like, yeah, man, you
Speaker 1: want you want to go deep into that? Stuff is
Speaker 1: crazy to me. I don't but a lot of times
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the lack of what true African American
Speaker 1: history is for you some of these comments. At times,
Speaker 1: you guys have to sit around here truly know what
Speaker 1: it is you're talking about. This is a song Janet
Speaker 1: Jackson many many years ago got it to an old
Speaker 1: frat brother of mine, and the song was called black Cat, Heavy,
Speaker 1: heavy guitars in there. And the guy says to me, man,
Speaker 1: Janet Jackson got away from her black roots in that song.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, yeah, man, rock and roll? I was
Speaker 1: like you he don't even know Robert Johnson started rock roll? Right,
Speaker 1: do you know about black folks and rock and roll?
Speaker 1: Like wow, ignorant? But but but that, But this is
Speaker 1: the prevalent things at times where we had to check
Speaker 1: people on and check outs like stop this, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Stop this? Or the Rolling Stones to
Speaker 1: say it's a very very international popular man, but that's
Speaker 1: named after Muddy Water song. The Rolling Stones and Beatles,
Speaker 1: these guys were all influenced by black artists. You said.
Speaker 1: Jass started on say oh it's a rocket roll, no fool,
Speaker 1: you know it's your music, right, start like go crack
Speaker 1: a book open. That becomes a big problem, all right,
Speaker 1: let's dive now into politics, because Danny mccrage, you were
Speaker 1: you were, you were, Oh, Tom Man, Danny was. Danny
Speaker 1: was um. Like many people, I saw the videos Friday
Speaker 1: night of Democratic presidential candidate Tom Styre with juvenile hot
Speaker 1: boys owned let him, let him Bouce San Francisco. Lead
Speaker 1: that over there with a microphone, dancing and trying to
Speaker 1: to sing along with Juvie's song. Back that ass up,
Speaker 1: and I think it was his wife in the background
Speaker 1: dancing off feet and I probably hit that he headed
Speaker 1: in his ear. He said, two thousands he did that.
Speaker 1: I saw that video on Sunday, no Friday, and I
Speaker 1: think late Sunday night Monday, he was out at the president.
Speaker 1: Give us example, give us the examples of how hot
Speaker 1: it's the same man. I told you. Man. Look, if
Speaker 1: you go around the city and you see some of
Speaker 1: these establishments and they start to fall along hard times,
Speaker 1: you know that they followed my hard times because all
Speaker 1: of a sudden they have a hip hop urban night
Speaker 1: there it is black Knight. Ye. Once the hip hop
Speaker 1: urban night come, usually by two months after that the
Speaker 1: place is closed. On the last two rod, we know
Speaker 1: they're gonna show up. Hip hop specifically Nickel and Ride.
Speaker 1: You know you can't get in here, my man, twenty
Speaker 1: five man. We used we used to go to clutch
Speaker 1: Back uh back in the day, and we used to
Speaker 1: have the hardest time getting in that establishment. And guess
Speaker 1: what they do on Sunday, Hip number black vos, come on,
Speaker 1: give you some chicken and waffle, and then here go Tom.
Speaker 1: He said, you know what I need to get the
Speaker 1: black voters. I gotta find a way. I know, if
Speaker 1: I can get them on my side, then I gotta,
Speaker 1: I gotta. I got a shot. Who was hot back
Speaker 1: in Huh? You passed up Drake a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of guys. Maybe he was running a long fund.
Speaker 1: That's what we can get Julie in here for about
Speaker 1: a hundred. That's I told y'all about Juvenile though weeks
Speaker 1: back over the vouching for he did say that vouching
Speaker 1: for San Francisco to be the hot boys, and I
Speaker 1: said that that is irrelevant now. The dudes don't even
Speaker 1: know juven now. And it's obvious because the people that
Speaker 1: Tom was trying to influence had no idea who juven
Speaker 1: wasn't a pack, They didn't even know who like that
Speaker 1: That's how he looked. They just know the song. I
Speaker 1: give Tom credit. What's going on space? So here it
Speaker 1: is South Carolina primary. Joe Biden, who had poor showings
Speaker 1: in Iowa and New Hampshire, bet at all on South Carolina. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's where he was. It was basically, man, if you
Speaker 1: you not, you had to win, not coming second, you
Speaker 1: had to win. He put it off. He put all
Speaker 1: the chips in South Carolina. And what did he do.
Speaker 1: He got Congressman Jim Clydeburn to stand up for him.
Speaker 1: Jim Clydeburn, long time African American congressman in South Carolina.
Speaker 1: I used to work down there, so everybody knew. Jim.
Speaker 1: Jim said this our guy. Rally the troops until you comparven. Okay,
Speaker 1: Tom Sire storry to see Jim Clyburn got Joe all
Speaker 1: this momentum. You like anybody what? What? Oh? That's where
Speaker 1: I need to go, Julie, come on. And at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, Joe Biden wins. And how did
Speaker 1: Joe Biden win in South Caroline? Black? So Tom Stire
Speaker 1: had his people because you know, he didn't come up
Speaker 1: with us. He didn't know what his people have the
Speaker 1: right idea. They just can't wait too late. You can't
Speaker 1: wait too late. And then you didn't get the kingmaker
Speaker 1: Jim Clyburn to help you out. It's two losers in
Speaker 1: this right. Because I'm gonna tell you something. Juven not lost.
Speaker 1: He got mad, but he definitely lost. He has no
Speaker 1: more pull, ain't he ain't. Nobody else called the juven
Speaker 1: now to talk to get some black people to come
Speaker 1: from him. That is over. It's a one time deal,
Speaker 1: ain't happening. So he got his back. That one type
Speaker 1: won't happen again. So he his election is over, as will.
Speaker 1: We would not hear another seat from Julie Gonna. But
Speaker 1: he ain't to be bouching out from New Orleans. Serviances.
Speaker 1: Go and lead the high boys right here with us.
Speaker 1: I think because it's the way elections work, and because
Speaker 1: it's Tom Stiy dude, dude, most people didn't know about
Speaker 1: it'll be long gone forgotten. People don't forget about it.
Speaker 1: Give me a me believe that they realized that they
Speaker 1: probably didn't get nothing on social except it was funny.
Speaker 1: They you forgot about that time Hammer was doing the
Speaker 1: Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial. The dance hold on yeahc was
Speaker 1: out there dancing for chicken and water. They know walpfles.
Speaker 1: It was just chicken. Mary j. Blige was singing for
Speaker 1: She was singing a chicken commerce. Let me get some chicken.
Speaker 1: No and see you forgot times. You know at some
Speaker 1: point in time, Man, we all have a moment. We
Speaker 1: liked it. Ju the greatest done, I said Barry J
Speaker 1: was on the corner of singing for chicken. Who is
Speaker 1: going on the new streets? Man, I've learned something to
Speaker 1: every day. Man. It's crazy. Hey, like Romo baby right
Speaker 1: that chair, we gonna like this. Listen. If he really
Speaker 1: wanted to get the people on the side, he wouldn't
Speaker 1: have out there and got we bay and uh and
Speaker 1: even the day he would have got the people to
Speaker 1: get out there and come and come help. Mind. Now,
Speaker 1: the sad thing is he's he's a billionaires. He could
Speaker 1: have got whoever you want. Missing form, you know he's
Speaker 1: missing form. Somebody's Jean, which is also why he's no
Speaker 1: longer in the relation. He asked the last pardon, what's

Speaker 1: you know I'll be back. I'll be back, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll be back the mac mac lead up. So we
Speaker 1: don't actually doing dcent in basketball member wrestling team want
Speaker 1: to come to conference. The regionals are in. So yeah, man, Dave,
Speaker 1: we got a good wrestling program. That's one of those
Speaker 1: sports that never ever, ever I looked and said, I
Speaker 1: want to do that. You write about that. One who
Speaker 1: knew we had wrestling team. Any thing I went ever
Speaker 1: went to a wrestler. Ray Lewis was a great wrestler.
Speaker 1: He was a great wrestler. It's one of those sports
Speaker 1: that then while the coach tried to get me there. Um,
Speaker 1: if you're an offensive lineman or a linebacker with a
Speaker 1: wrestling background, it helps you out here because you learned
Speaker 1: about leverage and everything there. So Sean McDermott, the head
Speaker 1: coach of the Buffalo Bills, he was a he was
Speaker 1: a big wrestler. But it's a it's it helps, it helps,
Speaker 1: It's just something I just had no desires to do. Um.
Speaker 1: Doc Prescott waiting on a new contract. Okay, we're still
Speaker 1: waiting on the CBA. The players are looking over four
Speaker 1: hundreds some pages of it to see if they ratified
Speaker 1: how many players they really want to look over there?
Speaker 1: They just bought you gonna count out the first and
Speaker 1: second year players, you count the third you might get
Speaker 1: a few of them. Four fifth sixes. You know, people
Speaker 1: on their way out, So do they just call the
Speaker 1: agent say tell me what it says? How does that work?
Speaker 1: Ended up having in a meeting? They had a meeting
Speaker 1: and then the rep will kind of break down the
Speaker 1: bigger parts, and you just really have to trust your
Speaker 1: rep to relate the correct message and the stuff that
Speaker 1: you really know that it's really important to everybody, not
Speaker 1: just the people at the top of the rosters. You
Speaker 1: gotta have that trust in him. So Dak Prescott and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are still negotiating, but not they have yet
Speaker 1: to reach a deal, and the Cowboys are basically Seppal
Speaker 1: franchise Dak, but he's going to be laughing with the day.
Speaker 1: So I'm coming into the Star today and someone who's
Speaker 1: who's working here says, hey, did you hear the ESPN story?
Speaker 1: And I said, nah, what is said? Well, trade Dak
Speaker 1: to Miami, get a pick and get to it. And
Speaker 1: I said, well, that's one reason why I don't really
Speaker 1: paid that much attention to what ESPN because I said,
Speaker 1: and I said, here, here's where I get frustrated by
Speaker 1: stuff like that. The owner just spent ninety minutes with
Speaker 1: the media last week in Indianapolis telling you he wanted
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and then he threw out the whole. I
Speaker 1: think that Dak Prescott as a son. What more do
Speaker 1: you have to hear from the owner that he wants
Speaker 1: the player. We can all have these thoughts about what
Speaker 1: we think of what we want, but the man who
Speaker 1: signs the check says he wants it. Tell me the
Speaker 1: last guy who walked out of here that the owner wanted. Yea,
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. So also when I
Speaker 1: hear this, well, we're gonna trade Dak and send him
Speaker 1: to Miami and take the pick and somehow get to
Speaker 1: it all right if a boat, Yes, there's a couple
Speaker 1: of reasons the owners seventy seven. He's not trying to
Speaker 1: start over with a guy who's just into two last
Speaker 1: year college careers injured. You don't know if he can
Speaker 1: sit up here and execute the offense that Mike McCarthy wants.
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's a guy who's spoken about how he liked
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott when he was job out there, you know,
Speaker 1: shopping his way. So here's the quarterback he wants. Why
Speaker 1: do people throw this stuff out here and why people
Speaker 1: slopping it without thinking think think. Now here's the other
Speaker 1: thing you really think Dak Prescott, who grew up a
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys fan, who's making all this money and endorsements,
Speaker 1: wants to go to Miami. Do you think for people
Speaker 1: at Oikos and seven to eleven and Tostitos want him
Speaker 1: with the Miami Dolphins? Come on, your brand is damaged
Speaker 1: when you go there. This is true. It's you know, sorry,
Speaker 1: Dolphins not beating up, but you haven't been a winning organization.
Speaker 1: You're not on TV as much as the Cowboys. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, man, the brand, the brands don't want you
Speaker 1: to the end when it comes to the NBA. Don't
Speaker 1: think these shoe companies aren't involved when they're talking with
Speaker 1: these players talk about going to these different markets. That's true.
Speaker 1: You think Anthony Davis's folks aren't happy that he's now
Speaker 1: in lost first being in New Orleans? All right? You know,
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, all right, you go from the Warriors and
Speaker 1: now you're you're over there in Brooklyn. I mean you're
Speaker 1: still you know, they didn't want to see this dude
Speaker 1: going to the Orlando Magic. That stuff is big in
Speaker 1: their So for Dak Prescott, who makes more money and
Speaker 1: endorsements than he does playing on the fielder's first four
Speaker 1: years in National Football League, these things that people are
Speaker 1: talking about what he's gonna do makes absolutely zero sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it makes zero sense. I think people are
Speaker 1: just out there trying to do click baton, trying to
Speaker 1: get him to go somewhere else. But I think he'll
Speaker 1: be here for good or at least for the next year.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I think they'll get a slap,
Speaker 1: they'll slap the franchise tag on him. But in saying that,
Speaker 1: is there a quarterback out there that you think Dallas
Speaker 1: would go go for rather than a young Rayne Prescott?
Speaker 1: M is there or you think he's the best bet? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's available. Let's just say, yeah, we even gonna go
Speaker 1: into like and all right, Greton, you said that because
Speaker 1: here comes the thing. Damn, who's going to be available?
Speaker 1: If you're Tennessee, you're probably gonna franchise. Yeah. Um, does
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy want to work with a forty three year
Speaker 1: old Tom Brady? There's a forty three year old Tom
Speaker 1: Brady want to come down play with the cousin entice me.
Speaker 1: Just do you want Philip interception game once available that
Speaker 1: be available? Yes, TB twelve, James Winston, I would take
Speaker 1: TB twelve because I think he would have the most
Speaker 1: around him at this point. He would have he would
Speaker 1: have Coop, he would have Cob solid, he would have
Speaker 1: Seat slid line and they just got to work on
Speaker 1: the defense. These are all things that he is wanting
Speaker 1: but ain't happening. Will he show up and practice with
Speaker 1: that tag? No, I ain't, no way, ain't no way.
Speaker 1: You probably want to practice with that tag, but I
Speaker 1: think they get the deal done. So explain to people
Speaker 1: when you talk about not practicing with the tag. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those are voluntary workouts when you come in and you
Speaker 1: don't really have to be there, but the coaches really
Speaker 1: encourage you to come to Captain's workouts. He won't show
Speaker 1: up for those, ota those on the field workhouts. He
Speaker 1: won't be like mandatory. I think maybe ain't gonna do that.
Speaker 1: It don't cost. And when you talk about a new
Speaker 1: head coach wanting to put in his system leverage exactly, yeah,
Speaker 1: all the leverage in the world. Would you wanna put
Speaker 1: a Cooper rush back there and let him learn. I
Speaker 1: don't know. This is where fans don't realize the whole
Speaker 1: leverage that Dak Prescott has here. And I consistently hear
Speaker 1: this other thing on Twitter. He hasn't won a Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: so why should he get more than Russell Wilson? Why
Speaker 1: should he get more than Anne Rodgers? Um. I laugh
Speaker 1: at that because all quarterbacks doers reset the markets. Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo off seven stars, became the highest paid quarterback in
Speaker 1: the NFL, and then someone jumped and leverage. Jimmy had
Speaker 1: the leverage of fate. I'm telling you fans in San
Speaker 1: Francisco not only weren't going, they were suing their fans
Speaker 1: because they were. They reniged on paying the PSL money.
Speaker 1: Jimmy brought him hope, so they paid the franchise costs.
Speaker 1: Dak knows the owner seventy seven years old. And what
Speaker 1: do we see? The Cowboys tell us, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're not resetting the market and running back, I say, leverage,
Speaker 1: here you go, Dad leg left and reset the market.
Speaker 1: So if you see that happening, and that's with the
Speaker 1: running back in the quarterback and the older was saying,
Speaker 1: I'm not stepping on the field. I'm not showing up
Speaker 1: to the star. And I get that thing. He sayotus
Speaker 1: pat my home if I'm patrick my hole. I'm not
Speaker 1: stepping man, I'm not stepping on the field. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe baby, when the workout started, if I'm
Speaker 1: dak out taking a selfie in France, might were together.
Speaker 1: He ain't coming. I would, I wouldn't. No, I wasn't good.
Speaker 1: It's not money. Yeah, go out there and get hurt
Speaker 1: of something you just it ain't And I go back
Speaker 1: to one more time. I say it again, keeps the
Speaker 1: hammer in his home. The owner's seventy seven years old.
Speaker 1: He wants to win now, right now. He wants to
Speaker 1: win now, and he's going to write the check and
Speaker 1: they're going to get it done. So what do you
Speaker 1: think the hold up is? It? Just think it's the years.
Speaker 1: They got a fair way to get both of them,
Speaker 1: and then you got the CBA looming as well. I
Speaker 1: think it's you know, it's a few go back, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, go back to the at least for me.
Speaker 1: In twenty years of covering the team, and Stephen Jones
Speaker 1: has set this before deadlines, make deals, they get a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff done at the deadline. That's true. That's
Speaker 1: that's you know when time they got When did the
Speaker 1: Zeke deal get done? We couldn't. Okay, we get close.
Speaker 1: They get deals done, so they got a few months
Speaker 1: for the deck. Right after they after they tag him,
Speaker 1: he goes it's June, is it. I think it goes
Speaker 1: all the way to camp, right, Yeah, he goes to camp. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he got it. Get it'll get into the summer. But
Speaker 1: still and that's when you start and how am I
Speaker 1: going to learn? And I go into that whole thing.
Speaker 1: It won't get that far with him because you need
Speaker 1: him to implement the offense. You got to have him
Speaker 1: bout ots. What's crazy is we all the CBA needs
Speaker 1: to get past this is true. We're gonna talking like that.
Speaker 1: It's like not not going on right now. It's a
Speaker 1: gift in the curt If it doesn't get signed, the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: you're in a better position because then they get throw
Speaker 1: our two tags. You can attack Cooper and attack that
Speaker 1: CBA gets signed, you will you take one away. So
Speaker 1: you have two dudes sitting out, But I think something
Speaker 1: will get done because it's in their best Interesting is
Speaker 1: they're going to help the coach. What he's not going.
Speaker 1: You can't sit up here, bring in this new coaching
Speaker 1: staff and write this check and then hamper yourself on
Speaker 1: your own account. Okay, can do it. This is you
Speaker 1: have the ability to write the checks. That's what they
Speaker 1: have to do. And that's where you don't have enough
Speaker 1: room for Byron Jones. This is where you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to try and find some some some money and and
Speaker 1: actually some hit on some free agents. But this is this,
Speaker 1: to me is the fun part of what's going on.
Speaker 1: That's why I don't buy in all these things about
Speaker 1: we're gonna trade this person here, we're gonna trade that. No,
Speaker 1: these are the guys they want. And when the owner
Speaker 1: wants a guy going keeping in the same way they
Speaker 1: tried to get tanked the tens, get your eighteen tanks
Speaker 1: at price went up, Try and play twenty and what
Speaker 1: tank get twenty? He earned it? He tag twice, Yes,
Speaker 1: so they got a twin zie. Not resetting the market,
Speaker 1: you know what, zike, he said, the market. I expect
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott to have a big time contract, and I
Speaker 1: expect Amark Cooper to make probably a little bit less
Speaker 1: money than Julio Jones. Where's the other twenty somewhere? Because
Speaker 1: Michael was the high at twenty. Yeah. So I mean
Speaker 1: so if you you get them right underneath there, then
Speaker 1: then I think that I think that's what we'll see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're just too important to what Mike McCarthy wants to do.
Speaker 1: That's true and what this team needs. They need both guys.
Speaker 1: You need Cooper, you need Dak. I expect it to
Speaker 1: be done. Cooper's gone. Always bring Dad's back, you know,
Speaker 1: eight ba baby, bring it back, bring it back well
Speaker 1: before we leave. Hey, man, if y'all need something to
Speaker 1: do over spring break, yeah, comes out. Spring break is
Speaker 1: next week. We got our DCRB camp. We have a
Speaker 1: few high school clams for DCC. Y'all gonna sign up

Speaker 1: good cares. By the way, the next time we make
Speaker 1: it back we're not going to his spot again because
Speaker 1: we went to the spot. He even, he even, he
Speaker 1: admitted the spot made it that location was not good. Yes,
Speaker 1: the Frankfurt location is good. The Lombardi location is good. Here.
Speaker 1: I don't know why the sources are water like that, bro,
Speaker 1: you must have told water. Yeah, I don't like you know, listen,
Speaker 1: he ate it though, he said the fun dude was
Speaker 1: good and the Scampi butter was good. It would have
Speaker 1: been better had they had the right consistency with the sauce.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, honestly, man, I just said that
Speaker 1: to make you really, just said that to make you
Speaker 1: feel head. What happens? Man? I stopped and got a
Speaker 1: burger on like, man, he's an alligator. You didn't know
Speaker 1: it out burger right over chicken tenders in front I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get. I figured I figured, okay, this can't
Speaker 1: be bad, right because this is something it's easy. And
Speaker 1: they said it was a Cajun spicy chicken tender. He
Speaker 1: had it before he knew it wasn't gonna be good.
Speaker 1: He said itself, that's tough. That's tough. What it is.
