0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.639
<v Speaker 1>over his shoulder in his own s WBC mortgage studio. Mickey,

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to start with Everson. Everson seemed alarmed when

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>he saw us that we both have well we're not.

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>There's not jackets that I have. All I got a

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.679
<v Speaker 1>pull over on. Yeah, it is cold here, Everson. How

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>about you? Hey man, I feel great in here. I

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>just want to say I missed you guys, blank a

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>chap ass. That's how much I've missed you, guys. Oh,

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>terms of some reason I got I got that terminology

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>from from Gene Stallings, right, and for some reason we

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>saw always chap his ass. So I just thought I'd

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>passed that sentiment onto you guys. So I we've missed

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you just the same Everson, he was away for months.

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>For two days, two shows in a row, he realized

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>how good he had it, you know, Yeah, how that go?

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>He hanging out with those young guys. Man, you know

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>he's not young guys. It's just not my style. I

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.519
<v Speaker 1>gotta come back to the old great hands like you.

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll go old school here, all right. Uh well, mickey,

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>you have a good bye. A weekend I did actually

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>went uh two days in a row without really doing

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>any work, uh and not shaving. I thought it was

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>a yeah, that was like it was about that was

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>that was a bonus, right. I was any different than

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the other week here because I gotta because you gotta

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.839
<v Speaker 1>work at least on Sunday on those other weekend days, right,

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>if you can call it work. Yeah, well that's true too. Yeah,

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you're supposed to look good. I guess trying to love

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>not having the pressure of watching the Cowboys. It's just

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 1>so nice to relax and watch games as opposed to

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 1>sitting there just biting my nails put them for these Cowboys.

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>So a very relaxed weekend for me, I must well. Ever,

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>somewhere you are rooting for the Giants to beat the

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Eagles yesterday. I was, and I was not disappointed. I

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>love the fact that the Giants won. You know, I

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>keep looking It's a personal thing. I keep looking at

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Carson Wentz and I keep trying to compare him to

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott, because that's always the comparison, you know, And

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>how would one work with the weapons that he has

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>versus what the weapons that he has? And so I

0:03:56.400 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 1>think that that comparison always boes well and favorite. I

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>think people are used to try and compare, and I

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>know that that I do like Carson Wentz guts. I

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>love how he never gives up, But I don't I

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>think Dak has always played with less desperation and even

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.919
<v Speaker 1>with the mistakes as he's made his career, Carson Wentz

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>has made so many more mistakes. So just on a

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 1>personal note, I was comparing as I was watching the

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>game Mickey, always your takeaway from Sunday. You know the

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>good part about the Cowboys not playing as you sit

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 1>there and you watch other teams suffer, you know, you

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>see them have to grind away, and you know other

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>teams make mistakes too. The other teams don't sometimes play

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 1>as well. Although I don't think I've ever seen anybody

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 1>get more lucky than Arizona in my entire life, by

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.359
<v Speaker 1>the way, and those things don't seem to happen to

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys. That's Kyler Murray for you. Bag. Yeah, yeah,

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>let your luck is made and you throw the ball.

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Some skill involve there, Mickey. Yeah, and throw the ball

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 1>as far as I can in the air and then

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>have my tall receiver go up with the greatest hands

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>ever and make a catch with three guys hanging on him,

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>just the way Kyler planned it, right, Yes, of course,

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>well it was he. It was No, it was the

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 1>way the Arizona GM Steve Kim planned it when he

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>worked that trade in the offseason. Playmakers make plays like that.

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>It's also the way. It's also the way the Cardinals

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 1>organization made the decision when they hired Cliff Kingsbury, and

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Kingsbury said no, I'm I want to draft Kyler Murray

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 1>number one, and he knew what kind of player he's

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 1>got there. I mean that was those were not slow

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.039
<v Speaker 1>footed guys that Kyler Murray was a looting on that play.

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>That was Ed Oliver man that was coming and Ed Oliver,

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>as Baker Mayfield can attest because he faced him in

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>college at the university when when when oh, you played

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the University of Houston and let owe you up? And

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>they in fact that was with Greg what a quarterback

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>for the Houston Cougars then. But the star of that

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>game was the freshman defensive lineman Ed Oliver, who everyone

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>was going, who the heck is that guy? Well, Ed

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.679
<v Speaker 1>Oliver in that game the other day, he's pursuing Kyler Murray.

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>He's got to have an up speed. That wasn't a rollout.

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>That was a run for your life. Create enough time

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>when you get to the sideline you're going left, create

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>enough time you get to the sideline where you can

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>plant and throw it fifty yards downfield. And oh, by

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the way, find Hopkins, the guy that you want to

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>throw it to, and throw it where he can catch it.

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>That was the only place you can throw the ball.

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 1>He was running out that room. But no Everson, Everson, Everson,

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>that was all. That was all luck. That was all luck, Everson.

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I understand Bill Spags has never seen one that's his

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>hype accomplishing so much. I think that's what it is.

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, DeAndre Hopkins is probably a foot taller than me. No,

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean kind of murder. But let's not forget who

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>made the play, Okay, Everson. I gotta tell a story

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>from I all who been about sixteen years ago now,

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>uh with Cowboys TV, we did a Mickey and I

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>broadcast high school football playoff game at Texas Stadium. It

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>was South Lake Carol against Stent' Ryan or somebody. I

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>think it's didn't Ryan. Anyway, Mickey goes down on the

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>field before the game because Chase Daniel is the quarterback

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>for South Lake Carroll and he had committed the University

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>of Missouri, and he had to go down there and

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>compare his hike with Chase daniels hike in pregame warm ups,

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to determine if this guy was tall enough to

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>play a quarterback at the major college level at the

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>University of Missouri. And Mickey had turned out he could right, yeah,

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and he wasn't much taller than me either, by the way,

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>So when he's still he's still drawing a paycheck in

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. So when he got when he got here,

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>he had his first charity, a golf tournament, and they

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>asked me the MC so I basically told that story

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>about it. And he's standing next to me, and I

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>cracked everybody up. And he stands next to me. He

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>gets on his tippy toes so he can see over me,

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 1>by the way, too, so he remembered, here, am I

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>tall enough? Now? Well, they've gotten shorter SAgs. Kyle Murray

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>is shorter than Chase Daniels, but they got faster than

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>no kid. But okay, so how about that game though,

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Arizona and Buffalo. This just goes to show you how

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.959
<v Speaker 1>things can change. And this is at as far as

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the playoff picture is concerned for both those teams. All right.

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 1>First off, Trayvon Big Trayvon diggs older brother Stefan makes

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.079
<v Speaker 1>the touchdown grab with thirty four seconds left it Oh,

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.839
<v Speaker 1>by the way, whoever the announcer was on that game

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 1>at the time that he made the reception, Trayvon Diggs

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>is playing better than any ride receiver in the whole

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>National Football League this year. Stefon Diggs is and uh yeah,

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and uh I wonder if Hopkins was listening to the

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>TV broadcast. He said, oh, yeah, he's playing better. But anyway,

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>beyond that, all right, if Buffalo wins that game, they

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>are sitting there at what at eight and two? I

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>guess two, and they've got lead of more than a

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>game over Miami in the East whatever, a game and

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a half, whatever would be. Arizona was staring at five

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and four. Okay, by virtue of Murray making that play

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 1>to Hopkins, Arizona is now six and three. They're tied

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.199
<v Speaker 1>with the Rams and the Seahawks for first place in

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the NFC West, and Buffalo's in a dogfight. There were

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>a half game lead in the AFC East. One play,

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>does that? Yep? And that's how that's how that's the

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>difference in this league. A lot it ends up being

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>one play. And we've seen that hit the Cowboys many times. Right, Well,

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I think I think what it's not just that, it's

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:42.200
<v Speaker 1>all the things that are going on, not just this Sunday,

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.960
<v Speaker 1>but laying up to it, because the storyline was Seattle

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>was five, and oh, I mean they were they were rolling,

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not mistaken, And all of a sudden they've

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 1>lost I think three out of the last four. They're

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>sitting there at six and three now, So yeah, so

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at them running away Russell Wilson. Every year,

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I was fussing with my son. Every year they try

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.839
<v Speaker 1>and put Russell Wilson in the MVP race, just like

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>after week four. He's always the guy that they say

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 1>he's running away with it, and you know it's up

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 1>for everybody else to catch up. And then just like

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>true Russell Wilson, Nope, well maybe a fault of his own,

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 1>but just as his nature, he gambles so much that

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.199
<v Speaker 1>he gets himself into a lot of trouble. Happened last year,

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>happened the year before that. That's his m So you

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 1>have to catch him on the downslide because otherwise he

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>will eat your part. As the Cowboys can stay and

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.319
<v Speaker 1>he's not playing with a good defense, so he's kind

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 1>of like the Dak Prescott thing, always forcing it. So

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>now they've lost three. Now you're looking at Buffalo, who

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 1>was gonna have a chance to put Arizonne even further behind.

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Now they're in first place. Here's Miami with two of

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>two is lighting it up down in Miami. Great move

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.720
<v Speaker 1>by the coach, by the way, because everyone's thinking Fitzpatrick

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 1>was really misused abusing that manner. Now we see why

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>two was a starter. And you're talking about the East

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>in the AFC, and I think it's the West in

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:22.319
<v Speaker 1>the NFC. Everything that that that weekend yesterday made everything

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>even more convoluted than him with him all right, let

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>me let me break in with some breaking news. I

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>got some breaking news for you. Ed Warder is reporting

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>this and he's pretty connected with that Saints organization. In

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Sean Payton. Saints quarterback Drew Brees has multiple rib fractures

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>on both sides of his chest and a collapse lung

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:48.080
<v Speaker 1>on the right side. According to Edward, the collapse lung

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:53.680
<v Speaker 1>just just breaking right now. Multiple rib fractures on both

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 1>sides of both side and the collapse lung. How do

0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you get him on both sides? That's what That's what

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>happens when you're playing over forty years old. Was a

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>bunch of twenty year olds, you know. And that's fun

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>because I got you about one hundred pounds. Did you

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.199
<v Speaker 1>did you hear in Sean Payton Sean Payton's interview after

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the game when they asked him could when did you

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>know that Drew Brees couldn't go? And he said, well,

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>at halftime he came up to me and said, you know, coach, uh,

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm not sure I can I can go.

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I can do well enough. Couldn't

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 1>do well enough. You got multiple crack ribs and a

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>collapse lung, and it's like, I don't know, coach, I

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I could go or not Golee and

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>he's still on the sidelines and yeah, oh yeah, you

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 1>know he I think he should have been in the

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 1>hospital somewhere taking care of myself. Well, you remember that

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:54.719
<v Speaker 1>happened to That happened to Tony Romo, the ribs and

0:13:54.800 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 1>a collapse lung, and you know, I don't know, be petty.

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>But then I guess I am bad call on the

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>sack itself. I believe the guy was penalized just because

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the sack was so violent, but it was it was

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 1>within the realms of a regular quarterback sack. But he

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>was actually penalized because he hit he hit Drew Brees,

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>so hard and I'm just reading further on I'm reading

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 1>what Ed is just now. I guess he reported that

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>on ESPN and he just now tweeted about it. Here's

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>what his tweets says. Results of medical evaluations performed today

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>on Saints quarterback Drew Brees revealed that he has multiple

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 1>rib fractures on both sides of his chest and a

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>collapsed lung on the right side, injury suffered over two weeks.

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>It is uncertain how much time he might miss. So

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not just one. It wasn't just the sack that

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>did it. It's been multiple hits over the course of

0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks here. So now you're looking at

0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 1>the Saints at seven and two after winning over San Francis,

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, and everyone's making a big deal in the

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>off season because Taysom Hill had the gadget plays and

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>he was being used as a in a unique way

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 1>by Sean Payton, and they paid him some money and

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>uh and then oh, by the way, they went ahead

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and signed Jamis Winston just to just to have him there. Uh,

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and who do they go to? They go to Jamis

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Winston instead of Hill. When Breeze gets hurt well there's

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>another quarterback that he took a chance to go somewhere

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to be the backup, and never you know, thinking well,

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 1>if I get a chance, I can reprove myself and

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>it falls in his lap, and just like Andy Dalton, right,

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>you just never know when you're gonna get that opportunity,

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and you better be ready, I'll tell you what. It

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>also kind of put a little kebosh on the touchdown

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>race between Brady and Drew Brees because they were really

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>going at it. You know. It was something that really

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 1>no one talked about, how he was kind of evolving

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>as the season went on, and they're going back and

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>forth with each other, or they were. I think they

0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 1>are actually tied right now in touchdowns. Brady may have

0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 1>gotten them by one because he finished the game, but

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that kind of I think that may damage the race

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. That that was a nice little side,

0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>a little side hustle that I was looking at. I

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>thought it was very interesting, too old dude steal bawling

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and still putting on. If Drew Brees comes back anytime

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 1>soon from multiple fractured ribs on both sides of his

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>chest and it collapsed. Lung good love making tom Brady's

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>taking a pretty good lead in that race right there.

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, Mickey, you alluded to Andy Dalton. I guess

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 1>we need to figure out who's gonna be starting at

0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>quarterback for the Cowboys this week against the Minnesota Via Kings.

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:04.639

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Detroit yesterday, fifty nine yarder by Matt Prater. And they're

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.199
<v Speaker 1>not feeling so good about Chase Young about now in

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Washington after the penalty audium that put the Lions in

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.600
<v Speaker 1>position for that field goal. But they're two and seven

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and the Cowboys are two and seven right now, but

0:19:54.440 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 1>that is about to change. Mickey Spagnola, Well, and one

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 1>of the things I was getting ready to say before

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.880
<v Speaker 1>we went to break, I wanted to point out, so

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.119
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about Seattle in the situation they got in.

0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:15.440
<v Speaker 1>You look back at that Cowboy game against them, they'll

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:18.440
<v Speaker 1>rue the day that they lost that game on the road,

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 1>knowing that with just less than four minutes to go,

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 1>they had a thirty one thirty lead in that game.

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 1>And for some reason I decided to go back last

0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:34.159
<v Speaker 1>week to look at what happened in that game. Remember

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys put up five hundred and twenty two total

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>yards in that game, and that was the first time

0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 1>they were without their top three offensive lineman Tyrann Smith,

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Leale Collins, and Cam Irving, along with two of their

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:54.120
<v Speaker 1>top three cornerbacks. That's Chitabeoose was out, Anthony Brown was all.

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.879
<v Speaker 1>And remember these things in that game, and this is

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:03.120
<v Speaker 1>why you can't us drop a game like that when

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you should win. You remember Tony Poller's fumble on the

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.639
<v Speaker 1>kickoff that he muffed recorded at the one yard line,

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 1>ended up in a two point safety. Zerline missed an

0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:19.560
<v Speaker 1>extra point and had one blocked. There's four points there.

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a huge difference. And then the first play of

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the second half on a blitz, the Cowboys missed a

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:31.119
<v Speaker 1>block sack fumble on Prescott. Seattle recovers at the Cowboys

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 1>five and they scored a touchdown. They gave them eleven

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>points in that game, eleven and even if they had not,

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 1>even if they'd done that with the touchdown and not

0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>giving them those four points. Do you remember they drove

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 1>down to the Seattle twenty two with twenty six seconds

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:52.879
<v Speaker 1>left to go, and it had those four points, not

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:55.119
<v Speaker 1>been part of that game, they would have had a

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 1>chance to kick a field goal and send that game

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 1>into overtime. So when you are away a game like that,

0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 1>those things come back to haunt you and that team

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>could be beat because I'll tell you what, the last

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:11.160
<v Speaker 1>few times I've watched Seattle play boy, they're lost. They're

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 1>absolutely lost. Their defense is terrible, and I think that's

0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 1>leading to Russell Wilson taking us undue chances to try

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to score points and zing the ball around. Boy, they're

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:29.800
<v Speaker 1>a mess right now. Hey, Mickey Nicky, did you mention

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the interception at the end of the first half too, Yes, yes,

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean the Cowboys are trailing sixteen to fifteen, and

0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that interception came with thirty six seconds left in the

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:43.879
<v Speaker 1>first half, and we talk about you're talking about Russell

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Wilson slinging the ball around. I mean, there are certain

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:50.960
<v Speaker 1>times in a game where you gotta even, Okay, you're

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 1>sixteen fifteen, you're down by a point, you're thirty six

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.439
<v Speaker 1>seconds left in the in the half. Okay, there's certain

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:00.439
<v Speaker 1>times you might want to just go ahead and take

0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 1>it to the house. If you're you're fine, sixteen fifteen,

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Because sometimes some bad things can happen when you're backed

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.959
<v Speaker 1>up in your own end of Bill. So there's not

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.880
<v Speaker 1>only yeah, that interception, which, by the way, they could

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:13.520
<v Speaker 1>have stopped him and held him to a field goal.

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:17.159
<v Speaker 1>They got a touchdown on that change of possessions. And

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:19.400
<v Speaker 1>so I mean with that pick and then the turnover

0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to start the third quarter on the first play, I mean,

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.479
<v Speaker 1>that's a fourteen point swing right there. Yeah, you're exactly

0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:28.879
<v Speaker 1>the odds of that happening. And then throw in the

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:33.160
<v Speaker 1>other four points. That's eighteen points they basically gifted Seattle

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:37.920
<v Speaker 1>in a game they ended up losing thirty one. Yeah,

0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:41.439
<v Speaker 1>you talked about the odds of things happening, Bill. If

0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I would call the dB that got the interception was Griffin,

0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:48.479
<v Speaker 1>and we had been teasing about how he was getting

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:52.120
<v Speaker 1>toasted the year before by all of our live receivers.

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.359
<v Speaker 1>That was his first interception, I think they said, in

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 1>like a year and a half. So the odds of

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it happened, you don't think of very good. But then

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:05.080
<v Speaker 1>here we go, this guy finally gets an interception after

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>being torched by several teams for several games. Each time

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:12.640
<v Speaker 1>you look at the NFC East and you look at

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the failure of our teams. They're not losing by much.

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 1>It's always the same story with the Cowboys. That was

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a pivotal point in the game. What things just kind

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:26.200
<v Speaker 1>of get out of control. You talk about Chase Young,

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:32.160
<v Speaker 1>that's just the bone hit player. Successful teams don't make

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:36.879
<v Speaker 1>those kinds of mistakes. Well coached teams, players that have

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the heads up they are not that they don't private

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 1>themselves to those kind of mistakes. The Cowboys that have

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.639
<v Speaker 1>been doing it all year long, there's always something there

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to where you you know, Jaylen Smith, I've been talking

0:24:49.480 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 1>about just certain things good teams don't do. The NFC

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:59.160
<v Speaker 1>East is full of them, of players that make those

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 1>mistakes cost them wins. Being one of them just continues

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.400
<v Speaker 1>to put the pressure on himself by making bad mistakes.

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Now he feels like he has nowhere to go. But

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>our teams still end up fighting through all of that

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and making a game of it between other divisional division

0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, other conference rivals sometimes. So when you see

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:24.400
<v Speaker 1>these games and you see the NFC East, we talk

0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 1>about the futility, what you see is just one play here,

0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:32.800
<v Speaker 1>one bone head play there. You're looking at a whole

0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:36.879
<v Speaker 1>different record for the NFC e's and and that's my

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:39.720
<v Speaker 1>good news, man, Mickey, I know you know where I

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.239
<v Speaker 1>was going. No, you're not gonna say a bit now.

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:47.680
<v Speaker 1>That's that's my good news. Is you're looking. If you look,

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you. If you're at the rest of

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the NFC eas with seven games to go, here, I'm

0:25:56.080 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 1>telling you the Cowboys not only have a girl eight chance,

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.960
<v Speaker 1>you can make the case that they are. They are

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:08.639
<v Speaker 1>in the driver's seat to win the NFC East. I

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:12.440
<v Speaker 1>am ashamed to say that. I believe you, Billy. I'm

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 1>ashamed to say I am on your side. They are.

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 1>The Cowboys are in the driver's seat to win the

0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:25.040
<v Speaker 1>NFC East. If you just look at the r first place, right,

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 1>they could be the Cowboys by two weeks from tonight.

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:32.199
<v Speaker 1>They are liable to be in first place in the

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 1>NFC East. All right, Oh god, Now, obviously, obviously, obviously

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys have to take care of their own business

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and maybe learn from some of those mistakes they've made

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:44.840
<v Speaker 1>that Mickey talks about in the Seattle game, you talk

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:47.760
<v Speaker 1>about in the Pittsburgh game last week. They gotta win

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:52.399
<v Speaker 1>at Minnesota, which is Minnesota's record is what three and

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 1>five right now, they're playing tonight, they could be three

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and six by the end of the night. They're playing

0:26:57.040 --> 0:27:00.240
<v Speaker 1>at Chicago tonight, and then Washington comes in here two

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and seventeen. Okay, let's just say the Cowboys win those

0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 1>two games, and so the Cowboys would then be four

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:10.399
<v Speaker 1>and seven. What does Philly have. They play at Cleveland,

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:13.720
<v Speaker 1>which has six wins, they're six and three, and then

0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 1>they come home and they play I believe Seattle, yep, Seattle.

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a Monday night game against Seattle. So

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:25.520
<v Speaker 1>by Monday night two weeks from those could easily be

0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 1>two losses for the Eagles. Cowboys would be in first place.

0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Giants are off this week. They're a game ahead of

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the cowboyor a half game ahead of the Cowboys right

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:34.800
<v Speaker 1>now at three and seven. They're off this week, then

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 1>they're at Cincinnati. That's a toss up game. Giants could

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:43.720
<v Speaker 1>easily lose that games pretty good. Yeah, but let's even

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.199
<v Speaker 1>said they Let's even said they win that game, and

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys and Giants then would be tied for first

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>place at four and seven at the end of Thanksgiving weekend.

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean literally, I think if the Cowboys go five. Okay,

0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys record. The Cowboys schedule the rest of the way,

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:02.960
<v Speaker 1>as we all know, they only got one team on

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 1>their schedule that has a winning record lot right now,

0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the Baltimore Ravens. And did you see that run defense

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 1>last night against New England? Okay, I didn't see it. No,

0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see it, not at all. Yeah, exactly, there

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:20.440
<v Speaker 1>was no run defense last night, and against a team

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:22.640
<v Speaker 1>that you gotta be geared up to stop the run.

0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Cam Newton hadn't threatened anybody this year, and it's in

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:30.159
<v Speaker 1>a driving rain storm. So anyway, if the Cowboys go

0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:32.520
<v Speaker 1>five and two the rest of the way, they might

0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:37.120
<v Speaker 1>win this division going away the way going exacting at

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 1>seven and nine, that could be winning going away. Literally,

0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:43.280
<v Speaker 1>they can win it by going five and two the

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 1>rest of the way because the Eagles, I don't see

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 1>them going any better than three and four the rest

0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>of the way. You know that might with anyone hear

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the Eagle go ahead, give me the rest of hear

0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the Eagle schedule? Yeah, it's pretty high Eagles. The Eagles

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 1>are at Cleveland, a six win team, Seattle a six

0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 1>win team right now at green Bay, which is seven

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and two New Orleans seven and two. Now New Orleans

0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 1>just lost Drew Brees and then at Arizona six and three,

0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and then they closed with Dallas and Washington. So the

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:17.240
<v Speaker 1>next five opponents for Philadelphia all have six or seven wins.

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 1>You know what, maybe that's why Carson Wentz kind of

0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 1>got into my dream last night. I woke up and say,

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 1>why was I dealing with Carson Wentz? What'd you eat before? Oh?

0:29:38.760 --> 0:29:41.240
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, before we get away from this,

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:44.560
<v Speaker 1>it's on my mind. Did you see Jalen Ramsey try

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to pull that same move in the game yesterday when

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it was DK Metcalf beat him. It was

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 1>a it was a deep ball and they were fighting physically,

0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden when when he kind of

0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>got an elbow from from Metcalf, he kind of fell

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>off and he threw his hands up in the air. Well,

0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:05.720
<v Speaker 1>guess what this time? No call? How about that? He

0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 1>dried the pull the same thing, all right? And I

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>saw others. I saw other dbs doing that spags. That's

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 1>a thing. Now, he wasn't the only one I saw

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 1>do that yesterday. Everyone's doing it now. They're carrying it

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 1>out like soccer players are NBA players, and I have

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:27.280
<v Speaker 1>to put this note out there. I know we have

0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:31.840
<v Speaker 1>to go to a break soon. Jeff Heath, Jeff Heath,

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Jeff Heath pulled Jenobli on the holding call, right,

0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:42.720
<v Speaker 1>he sold it big time. So what two plays will go?

0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 1>He sold it, which stopped the scram before touchdown, and

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I think the next play he ends up getting the

0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 1>interception to save the touchdown, to defend it the touchdown,

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and then it's Hattime. I'm pretty sure that's how that

0:30:57.280 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 1>sequence went. And it was just kind of good to

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>see him making some plays. Everyone was saying we shouldn't

0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 1>have got rid of them. I still disagree. And before

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>we go to break, here's the here's the Giant schedule

0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the way. They're off this week and

0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 1>then they play at Cincinnati, a two six and one team,

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 1>and then they play at Seattle six and three, Arizona

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:25.080
<v Speaker 1>six and three, Cleveland six and three, at Baltimore six

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and three. So there you go, Well, hell, we got

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 1>this one. Figure we gotta figure it out. Yes, does

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.720
<v Speaker 1>this sound like last year? Who of the years have

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>we been talking about how the cowboy hasn't got chances?

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:43.200
<v Speaker 1>If they just do this if they just come on.

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:46.200
<v Speaker 1>We never never, We never said it when they had

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a two and seven records though, I don't think about

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 1>this chaps as two and seven and a quarterback controversy.

0:31:57.000 --> 0:32:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Who starts this week against the Minnesota Viking. We get

0:32:00.560 --> 0:32:02.720
<v Speaker 1>it well, we try to get an update. We don't

0:32:02.720 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 1>have an update on Andy Dalton, but we'll give you

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the latest that we know along those lines when we

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>come back here on mix shots. We're back in a

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:14.800
<v Speaker 1>tasty treat that's sweeping air waves and taste buds. It's

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:17.320
<v Speaker 1>new Doctor pepper and cream soda. Let's take a listen,

0:32:17.920 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Doctor peppett and cream sodas heat a new combone that's

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:35.360
<v Speaker 1>music to my ears. Okay, doctor music to my ears

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and mouth. New Doctor pepper and Cream Soda delis just dear.

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.200
<v Speaker 1>It's nineteen o eight. Don't you think we should get

0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 1>electricity and stop using candles to see at night? It's

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 1>just electricity lights up the room fast. It's more reliable

0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:52.360
<v Speaker 1>than candles blowing out, and people seem to love it nationwide. Well, candles,

0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 1>dare did you just run into the wall. I have

0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:58.320
<v Speaker 1>a new candle. Please. Historically, switching to new technology is

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 1>a no brainer today. It's AT and T five G fast, reliable, secure,

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and nationwide. Switch to AT and T five G. It's

0:33:04.440 --> 0:33:06.880

<v Speaker 1>give us an update on what's going on at the

0:34:56.719 --> 0:35:01.359
<v Speaker 1>start today. Yeah, Mike McCarthy press ofference at four forty five.

0:35:01.560 --> 0:35:05.480
<v Speaker 1>It'll be on Dallas Cowboys dot com. I haven't seen

0:35:05.560 --> 0:35:09.000
<v Speaker 1>any any activity from players so far, so I'm not

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:12.799
<v Speaker 1>sure if they're back in or you know what. Since

0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:15.399
<v Speaker 1>he's at four forty five, they've got to be having

0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 1>some sort of meeting. I don't know if it's gonna

0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:22.320
<v Speaker 1>be virtual, because remember they kind of finished last week

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:28.359
<v Speaker 1>in intensive COVID nineteen protocol, and I would think we'll

0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:31.160
<v Speaker 1>find out a couple of things. Number one is Andy

0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Dalton cleared his two protocols because remember as we left off,

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:39.640
<v Speaker 1>he was probably still in concussion protocol and then COVID

0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:43.840
<v Speaker 1>nineteen protocol. We'll find out the status of Tyrone Crawford,

0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and then maybe we find out what's up with Chitube

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Awuzier because remember his twenty one days to get off

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of IR ended last week. They did pull him off,

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:58.400
<v Speaker 1>but then he didn't play in the game, so we'll

0:35:58.440 --> 0:36:02.880
<v Speaker 1>see what sort of physical where his physical status is

0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:08.520
<v Speaker 1>heading towards the Minnesota game, who which, by the way,

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 1>plays the Monday night game, So we'll get a good

0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 1>look at those Vikings that have won their last two

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:18.759
<v Speaker 1>games in a row, by the way, scoring twenty eight

0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 1>and thirty four points in those wins. With the running

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:27.680
<v Speaker 1>game with a we'll find out if they fixed this

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:32.560
<v Speaker 1>rush defense with Delvin Cook coming up. So but anyway,

0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Bill Day Tuesday. Normally, when you come off a bye,

0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:38.480
<v Speaker 1>even though you had all that time off, Tuesday's usually

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 1>a day off and then you get back into practice

0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>on your normal schedule Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. So basically the

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 1>last time the Cowboys were on the practice field was

0:36:50.080 --> 0:36:54.480
<v Speaker 1>win so it had been the Friday Saturday before the

0:36:54.560 --> 0:36:58.799
<v Speaker 1>last Saturday before Saturday Pittsburgh game, Saturday before the Pittsburgh game.

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:02.799
<v Speaker 1>That's right, So it's been a while. Yea, it will

0:37:02.840 --> 0:37:07.399
<v Speaker 1>be yes, So it will be seven, eight, nine, ten

0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:10.560
<v Speaker 1>days in between, assuming they can get on the practice

0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:12.720
<v Speaker 1>field on Wednesday that they get out of this intense

0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:17.920
<v Speaker 1>COVID protocol, it will be ten days in between practices

0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:21.680
<v Speaker 1>for this team. The better they better store it up

0:37:21.760 --> 0:37:25.399
<v Speaker 1>because once they get into the Minnesota game, they're gonna

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:28.239
<v Speaker 1>end up playing three games in eleven days, so there

0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:31.480
<v Speaker 1>won't be a lot of practicing going on after that

0:37:31.600 --> 0:37:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota game. Here we go. This is that time of year.

0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:40.440
<v Speaker 1>We can make a break our season. Ye can? I

0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:46.080
<v Speaker 1>love it? Okay, So we expect to get an update

0:37:46.160 --> 0:37:50.319
<v Speaker 1>on Andy Dalton at four forty five this afternoon from

0:37:50.320 --> 0:37:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the coach and of course, at last report he was

0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:57.120
<v Speaker 1>still in COVID and concussion protocol and when asked last

0:37:57.160 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 1>week who his starter would be Dalton or Garrett Gilbert,

0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Mike McCarthy said that it would be Dalton if he

0:38:05.400 --> 0:38:08.359
<v Speaker 1>is healthy, So we will anticipate that his answer has

0:38:08.440 --> 0:38:10.759
<v Speaker 1>not changed on that. What do you think of this

0:38:11.239 --> 0:38:14.760
<v Speaker 1>debate out there that they should go with Gilbert instead

0:38:14.800 --> 0:38:19.560
<v Speaker 1>of Dalton. Well, it seems like everybody's in lockstep on

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Dalton because Jerry Jones answered the question the exact same way,

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and so did Stephen Jones. Uh so uh they seem so.

0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean the debate amongst the members of the media

0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and fans not just letting you know what the people

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:43.160
<v Speaker 1>that important people in the decision have had to say. Hey,

0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I've never known a reporter that hates all other reporters

0:38:46.239 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>only spags. He gives them no credibility whatsoever. Mix Shots

0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:57.560
<v Speaker 1>is never about the team and the players. It's always

0:38:57.560 --> 0:39:01.080
<v Speaker 1>about how these idiots are covering the cowboys. I like it.

0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I like it, and it's not love it to death, buddy.

0:39:04.280 --> 0:39:08.319
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think you've seen any reporters saying that

0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:11.600
<v Speaker 1>they should start Gilbert. It's talk radio in the fall. Oh,

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about that. Who you got, Bill got Bill? Oh?

0:39:17.880 --> 0:39:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I've had a had a couple of debates here with

0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:24.600
<v Speaker 1>with a few reporters about it, and they think that

0:39:24.760 --> 0:39:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to go with Gilbert, but don't use the word like

0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the ones. It's almost like the ones that want to

0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:37.600
<v Speaker 1>go for Gilbert, they're kind of considering writing off the season. Yeah,

0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:41.239
<v Speaker 1>you know those that want to go with Gilbert, we're

0:39:41.280 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 1>also the ones that want a top five pick. You're right, Glad,

0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:48.360
<v Speaker 1>And you know, man, people start talking about this tanking

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:51.880
<v Speaker 1>and all of that. That is to me, that's the

0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:55.719
<v Speaker 1>ultimate sports sin. I really believe that. I think it's

0:39:55.760 --> 0:40:00.080
<v Speaker 1>just the loophole that has found in the system itself,

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:04.799
<v Speaker 1>and to use it in that manner. It affects everything.

0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it affects a person's status as far as

0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:12.399
<v Speaker 1>let's say you've got to play on your squad. He's

0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:16.759
<v Speaker 1>good enough to say, have Hall of Fame aspirations. All

0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, you're shutting a season down and that's

0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:24.239
<v Speaker 1>affecting his post career popularity or whether whever you want

0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:26.800
<v Speaker 1>to call it. You could be talking about a player

0:40:26.800 --> 0:40:31.279
<v Speaker 1>who's trying to make make a headweight and go to

0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:34.320
<v Speaker 1>another team, you know, build his numbers up so it

0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:37.360
<v Speaker 1>can look good in the off season, and you're taking

0:40:37.480 --> 0:40:39.719
<v Speaker 1>the season and now I can't get my numbers out

0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 1>there as a wide receiver or a linebacker or even

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the running back. Just the small things that go along

0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:52.840
<v Speaker 1>with taking a season. I I just it's it's Sully's

0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the whole system, and I never did like it, and

0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:59.279
<v Speaker 1>I hate when people start talking about it because now

0:40:59.560 --> 0:41:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the whole season is compromised, not just yours, the whole

0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:06.759
<v Speaker 1>NFL seasons compromise. So I agree, I agree. So ever

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:11.120
<v Speaker 1>ever said in nineteen eighty eight, Tom didn't come to

0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:13.719
<v Speaker 1>you and say, hey, Cubby, just back off a little

0:41:13.719 --> 0:41:16.000
<v Speaker 1>bit because we're gonna get the first pick of the

0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:20.120
<v Speaker 1>draft and we're gonna get Troy eighth. Hey, let me

0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:22.600
<v Speaker 1>say this. In nineteen eighty eight, he didn't have to

0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:24.560
<v Speaker 1>tell everything because I was playing like crap, just like

0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:27.879
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the team. So yeah, he he didn't

0:41:27.920 --> 0:41:30.880
<v Speaker 1>have to say anything. We all, we all played like

0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:35.960
<v Speaker 1>crap in herschell. Quit try anything on VP of the league.

0:41:36.000 --> 0:41:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Just back off, right right, back off, you know the

0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:42.719
<v Speaker 1>other thing on you know, and take nothing away from

0:41:42.760 --> 0:41:45.879
<v Speaker 1>Gary Gilbert. He did a terrific job against Pittsburgh, But

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:50.880
<v Speaker 1>the bar was set so low as far as the

0:41:51.000 --> 0:41:55.040
<v Speaker 1>quarterback with for the Cowboys going into that game, after

0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:59.720
<v Speaker 1>what we had seen the previous week and playing against

0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the Pittsburgh Steelers, the bunted, unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers coming in here.

0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:08.040
<v Speaker 1>If he completed a couple of passes, it was going

0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to be a victory. And then when he completed a

0:42:09.880 --> 0:42:13.480
<v Speaker 1>touchdown pass. But when you go back and look at

0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:18.040
<v Speaker 1>his game, and let's say Andy Dalton had the same

0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:21.920
<v Speaker 1>game that Garrett Gilbert had, people would be sitting there

0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:23.799
<v Speaker 1>looking at that, going, well, we got to find a

0:42:23.840 --> 0:42:26.600
<v Speaker 1>better backup quarterbacks. We can't have a quarterback he throws

0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and then a section in the red zone. You know,

0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I went back and looked at on the first drive

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:35.560
<v Speaker 1>of the game, Amari Cooper's lined up in the slot

0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and he makes a great move. And I don't know

0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:42.719
<v Speaker 1>enough about playing quarterback. It's so easy to do it

0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:45.000
<v Speaker 1>from two hundred feet up in the air. I don't

0:42:45.080 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, Gilbert, he's facing the sun field. He may

0:42:49.200 --> 0:42:52.560
<v Speaker 1>not his vision might have been blocked by a defensive linement, whatever,

0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:55.319
<v Speaker 1>but it didn't look like he looked Cooper's way At

0:42:55.320 --> 0:42:59.520
<v Speaker 1>first pre snap, it looked like this is the matchup

0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you want. You got Cooper in the slot and he

0:43:02.480 --> 0:43:05.479
<v Speaker 1>made a great move as he is so wont to do,

0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and he's wide open, and safety went the other way.

0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was right there for him. Well, they

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:15.439
<v Speaker 1>he checked down and went underneath whatever. But a play

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:17.960
<v Speaker 1>like that, you know, if it's dark, he's going to

0:43:18.040 --> 0:43:21.279
<v Speaker 1>Cooper there. I guarantee you. You know, Dalton might have

0:43:21.360 --> 0:43:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to I don't know. Yeah, yeah, but a more experienced quarterback.

0:43:25.080 --> 0:43:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and again, given Gilbert credit, he just does

0:43:28.120 --> 0:43:31.600
<v Speaker 1>not have the experience. But I do think if Dalton

0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:34.239
<v Speaker 1>played the same game, we'd be saying and I he

0:43:34.360 --> 0:43:36.399
<v Speaker 1>wasn't there very good, you know, But with Gilbert playing

0:43:36.440 --> 0:43:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the game, oh wow, we found something here. You know.

0:43:39.680 --> 0:43:44.640
<v Speaker 1>At this point, you're talking about fans and puntents as well.

0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt

0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and say that they want for the Cowboys so much

0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:56.600
<v Speaker 1>that the frustration kind of sets in and then we

0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:59.239
<v Speaker 1>just say, yes, just blow it all up. I'm so frustrated.

0:43:59.440 --> 0:44:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm pulling for these guys. I got my emotions behind it,

0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:05.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, and they just give up. And then you've

0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:07.440
<v Speaker 1>got the other side that's saying, you know, like me

0:44:07.560 --> 0:44:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and Bill, we're saying, hey man, we still got a chance.

0:44:11.719 --> 0:44:15.279
<v Speaker 1>We can win this going the way. Professional optimists, that's

0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:18.040
<v Speaker 1>what we are. But you know, like you said, those

0:44:18.040 --> 0:44:21.040
<v Speaker 1>guys that want Guilbert to stay in they don't want

0:44:21.040 --> 0:44:23.200
<v Speaker 1>to see any more Andy Dolphin because they don't want

0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to see us trying to salvage this season. And everyone's

0:44:27.640 --> 0:44:30.080
<v Speaker 1>always looking forward to the draft. Who the hell do

0:44:30.120 --> 0:44:33.080
<v Speaker 1>you want? I mean, yeah, we can get sunshine. We

0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:35.160
<v Speaker 1>can get sunshine. We're gonna know what the heck's gonna

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:37.520
<v Speaker 1>happen with Dad. We can get sunshine. But I'm not

0:44:37.560 --> 0:44:42.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna force an issue that's not there yet. And we're

0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:46.000
<v Speaker 1>more than mathematically still in it, which is a shame

0:44:46.120 --> 0:44:49.279
<v Speaker 1>to say. Not my fault, not Bill's fault, but we

0:44:49.320 --> 0:44:53.759
<v Speaker 1>are more than still mathematically in the race for the

0:44:53.880 --> 0:44:56.920
<v Speaker 1>NFC eason. That's just a shame that it is. But

0:44:57.000 --> 0:45:01.600
<v Speaker 1>don't give up now. And you can find a player

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:04.120
<v Speaker 1>with the seventeenth pick just as easily as you can

0:45:04.160 --> 0:45:07.240
<v Speaker 1>find a player with a seventh pick in the draft. Boy,

0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:10.160
<v Speaker 1>And we played against some low round draft picks that

0:45:10.320 --> 0:45:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm coming here and kick the butts a whole group

0:45:14.120 --> 0:45:16.560
<v Speaker 1>of all. Like I said last year, you don't need

0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:20.239
<v Speaker 1>a team for the Superstars to beat a team for

0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:23.279
<v Speaker 1>the Superstars. You just need some damn good coaching and

0:45:23.360 --> 0:45:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a good team unit. So we're all in agreement, right,

0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:37.960
<v Speaker 1>We got it. Figured out. We got out, all right.

0:45:38.000 --> 0:45:40.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad to hear that. Get Andy Dalton out there,

0:45:40.320 --> 0:45:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad. I'm ready to go. That's why you made

0:45:43.040 --> 0:45:46.440
<v Speaker 1>that deal, That's why you brought him here. And I'll

0:45:46.480 --> 0:45:49.120
<v Speaker 1>let him go do what he needs to do, and

0:45:49.239 --> 0:45:54.160
<v Speaker 1>for God's sake, protect the guy well. And I mean, seriously,

0:45:54.200 --> 0:45:56.040
<v Speaker 1>all you gotta do is look at the resumes. I

0:45:56.040 --> 0:46:00.600
<v Speaker 1>mean you no, no, unless the coach less there's some

0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:04.359
<v Speaker 1>physical ailment that we don't know about. With the more

0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:08.000
<v Speaker 1>experienced quarterback. I mean, you're talking about a quarterback who

0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:10.200
<v Speaker 1>is a three time Pro bowler, who was I mean,

0:46:10.239 --> 0:46:12.480
<v Speaker 1>going back to college, was the winning is quarterback in

0:46:12.600 --> 0:46:21.400
<v Speaker 1>TCU history. Let not go back, No, Garrett Gilbert wins.

0:46:21.680 --> 0:46:23.920
<v Speaker 1>If we go to high school, Garrett Gilbert wins, he

0:46:23.960 --> 0:46:27.719
<v Speaker 1>won two state championships. Falton laws. Yes, we know, yes,

0:46:27.800 --> 0:46:30.520
<v Speaker 1>we know, all right, but that's the last thing Garrett

0:46:30.520 --> 0:46:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Gilbert did. That's the problem, all right, that doesn't for

0:46:36.600 --> 0:46:39.600
<v Speaker 1>mixed shots. Time to go. Chris Beam says, it's time

0:46:39.640 --> 0:46:43.120
<v Speaker 1>to go, and we will have more information for you

0:46:43.160 --> 0:46:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and Mike McCarthy meets with the media at four forty

0:46:46.120 --> 0:46:50.880
