Speaker 1: looking good. You've been working out, Curtis, you just looked
Speaker 1: that well, well, you know it's all just looks. I
Speaker 1: sure don't work out enough. Oh. A lot of stuff,
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on in the NFL. The
Speaker 1: last week, you got the Super Bowls coming up. Uh,
Speaker 1: we'll get everybody's thoughts on that. Let's just get into
Speaker 1: did we talk about this last week? Matthew Stafford? Well,
Speaker 1: Matthew gone, okay, let's talk about I like how the
Speaker 1: Rams did that? Man? I love I love what the
Speaker 1: Rams did. I really well, this is this is gonna
Speaker 1: make for a great debate because I hate what the
Speaker 1: Rams did. Good, Jesse, that was my first thoughts. But
Speaker 1: this is this leads right back to the Cowboys. They
Speaker 1: say we made a mistake in Jared Golf. The head
Speaker 1: coach went to ownership and to Jim say, y'all feeling
Speaker 1: what I'm feeling. And they say yeah. They say, well,
Speaker 1: how much are we gonna pay to get this dude
Speaker 1: out of here? You're gonna get your two number ones
Speaker 1: and we're gonna pay part of it, Sarah, but he
Speaker 1: got the goal. We have a team that's ready to go.
Speaker 1: We have a team that we think can take us
Speaker 1: to the next level. And Jared Golf ain't it. And
Speaker 1: so when you think that way, yeah, you're gonna take
Speaker 1: a big hit and a big loss. And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying Stafford is to due all be all, but we've
Speaker 1: never seen him in optimal conditions. He is in optical
Speaker 1: conditions with the great I think, the great officer minded coach,
Speaker 1: a solid defensive team behind it that can make plays.
Speaker 1: It seems ready. Jesse's tell me why they made the
Speaker 1: wrong move. And here's my one. I think they gave
Speaker 1: up way too much. You gave up way too much
Speaker 1: to assume to be and I think in the next
Speaker 1: couple of days he'll bet four thirty four years old. Right,
Speaker 1: So you got to older quarterback, often injured. I get it.
Speaker 1: Took a beating in Detroit. The thing that really got
Speaker 1: me was even when Matthew Stafford was at his optimal best,
Speaker 1: when he was clicking on all cylinder cylinders, the Lions
Speaker 1: still were bad. Yeah, but that was a bad football team.
Speaker 1: But that wasn't his fault though. There was a guys
Speaker 1: around him. Now he's got better guys. You had Megatron
Speaker 1: at one point in time, you had you had decent
Speaker 1: teams where you had some really good players around you,
Speaker 1: and you still were really, really bad. You went and
Speaker 1: got Matthew Stafford to give yourself an opportunity to go
Speaker 1: back to the super Bowl, a place where Matthew's Stafford
Speaker 1: has never been. He's never been to the playoffs. He
Speaker 1: doesn't know what it feels like they're being a playoff.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have playoff pedigree, he doesn't have any of that.
Speaker 1: What you need that guy to take the next step.
Speaker 1: And this isn't a guy that you're gonna have for
Speaker 1: the next six or seven years. This is a rental.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have Matt Stafford form maybe the next two
Speaker 1: or three years at best. And I know we see
Speaker 1: Brees and we see Brady and those guys planning all
Speaker 1: to their forties. Those guys are more of the the exception,
Speaker 1: not the rule. You're not gonna have a bunch of
Speaker 1: guys playing into their forties at the way you see
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Drew Brees and and guys like that.
Speaker 1: That that's not going to happen. That's not that's that's unrealistic.
Speaker 1: So for me, I think you gave up a ton
Speaker 1: to go get a guy who you really don't know,
Speaker 1: because this is I probably like when they did this deal,
Speaker 1: whatever God they believe in, they did a whole lot
Speaker 1: of praying because Sean McVay, you're now tied to draft
Speaker 1: things Jared Golf and O kame him getting a contract
Speaker 1: extension and did not work out like that. That's the
Speaker 1: thing that people are missing. Yeah, you're getting Matt Stafford,
Speaker 1: the foot, the guy who y'all named boy genius. He
Speaker 1: signed off on this, He signed off on, Yes, let's
Speaker 1: get Jared Golf a lengthy, expensive extension. After they went
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. So in his heart of hearts,
Speaker 1: he thought, at one time this is our guy. There
Speaker 1: was no reservation because he say, wow, hold on, we
Speaker 1: still got him on the contract. Let's just see this
Speaker 1: thing play out a little bit more. And they didn't.
Speaker 1: They rushed to judgment, gave him a boatload of money
Speaker 1: and then it didn't work out for him on the
Speaker 1: back end. And so now for Sean McVeigh is if
Speaker 1: this doesn't work out immediately, might I ask or might
Speaker 1: I add? Because you're not gonna have time for this thing.
Speaker 1: This is a right now move. That was a right
Speaker 1: now move to get Matt to staffer there. If this
Speaker 1: doesn't work out right now for you, this could be
Speaker 1: your job. Now we see how guys who sniffed farts
Speaker 1: of Sean McVeigh get jobs football league. I don't think
Speaker 1: you'll have a problem getting another job. But you gave
Speaker 1: up a whole lot for god that does that doesn't
Speaker 1: have any playoff experience. Oh, by the way, he might
Speaker 1: not even be might not He's not the best quarterback
Speaker 1: in your division. And there's arguments that he might not
Speaker 1: be the second best quarterback in your division. There's something
Speaker 1: that say that Colin Murray might be better than Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: So you brought a guy in and even in your
Speaker 1: own division, even in your own division, and and God
Speaker 1: forbid that if San Fran gets to Seawan Watson, Matthew
Speaker 1: Stafford drops down even more in your division. So you
Speaker 1: hold him though, But genius got it. Yeah, I hope
Speaker 1: Sean mcvayh is calling you to offer up some prayer
Speaker 1: to your God. To you, yes, sir, so you pray. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm not prayer I gotta do. I'm not bringing that
Speaker 1: gospel that ain't told me. Yeah, what do you what
Speaker 1: do you think about the Rams philosophy? Though they haven't
Speaker 1: they haven't had a first round pick since twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: and now they're not gonna have a first round pick
Speaker 1: till like twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four, something like that.
Speaker 1: They obviously don't place as much value on them as
Speaker 1: maybe and they'd rather use those picks for guys they
Speaker 1: know have some pedigree to them. What do you think
Speaker 1: about that philosophy situation? Yeah? What you said, they're in
Speaker 1: the now. They they are gonna you will see a
Speaker 1: drastic change if this thing fall apart at the seams.
Speaker 1: You will see a drastic change in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: They'll keep that first round pick and they'll start to rebuild.
Speaker 1: But when you're in the now, you don't waste any time.
Speaker 1: They're in a market as much different. Dallas owned this market,
Speaker 1: this area thanks to the Texans not being anything. Dallas
Speaker 1: still owns Texas La. Rams don't own to stay of California.
Speaker 1: It's too many things going on. If you don't stay
Speaker 1: in and now you will float to the end and
Speaker 1: your your your public when it does be able to
Speaker 1: come back in the stadium won't show up. California's got
Speaker 1: too many things going That's a great point that Now,
Speaker 1: that is a point that I will agree with you
Speaker 1: wholeheartedly right there. And yeah, that's a great point, Nate.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a great point. You have to go out.
Speaker 1: Thank you, that's said. That's great. Kind I kind of
Speaker 1: admire the Rams going for it. They've they've realized that,
Speaker 1: you know, they got to enter Aaron Donald, they got
Speaker 1: Ramsey on defense. This is their opportunity. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of admire they're like, we're all in.
Speaker 1: They put all their chips on the table. We're going
Speaker 1: for it. Right now, even who cares what happens two
Speaker 1: years from now. They want to win now. But it
Speaker 1: also makes me wonder did the Cowboys miss their opportunity
Speaker 1: to go in on all in twenty sixteen. They were
Speaker 1: thirteen and three, they had two young studs and sin
Speaker 1: it's been kind of a disappointment, and so on flip side,
Speaker 1: I kind of wish maybe the Cowboys had a little
Speaker 1: bit of that gambling latitude, which is surprising because mister
Speaker 1: Jones is a gambler. But we do it. We used to, man,
Speaker 1: we used to go all in. But it has changed
Speaker 1: now that the climate has changed. I mean, we're conservative,
Speaker 1: you know we uh, that's just who we are now.
Speaker 1: And you know, we did a show the other day yesterday, man,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to protect players and stumbling all over
Speaker 1: the deal. And at the end, man, it just dawned
Speaker 1: on me. At the end. We always continue to complain
Speaker 1: during the season. Here we are in the off season,
Speaker 1: and a few guys came to me said, Nate, you
Speaker 1: know you keep saying we're gonna switch the offense. And
Speaker 1: a lot of guys at the end of the show,
Speaker 1: the access were we far away and both guys that
Speaker 1: were on that show said yeah, with a few offensive pieces,
Speaker 1: with a few this, few of that, And I'm saying
Speaker 1: to myself, here we go again. I disagree we have
Speaker 1: no defense and expect to go to the playoffs and
Speaker 1: have a true realistic chance at at the play at
Speaker 1: the playoffs, we're talking super Bowl and don't have a defense.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, they need to go all in, Kurt.
Speaker 1: To answer your questions, Shannon, Nate just set you up
Speaker 1: for a great transition to one of the questions that
Speaker 1: Kurt put in the text. I want to see if
Speaker 1: you pick this thing up and transition to it. Let's go.
Speaker 1: I haven't even been listening to y'all the last ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Let me, let me, let me tradistion this thing. You know, Nate,
Speaker 1: you brought up a great point about how far the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are away from truly competing, whether that be offensive defensively.
Speaker 1: Kurt put in the notes early on, there's an article
Speaker 1: out and they list tiers of teams and where they're
Speaker 1: at right and they're like, you know, this team is
Speaker 1: regular to win right now. This team is a year away,
Speaker 1: this team is two years away, this team is like
Speaker 1: two plus years away, and I believe the Cowboys were
Speaker 1: in the category, correct me if I'm wrong, or being
Speaker 1: two plus years away. Now they ESPN had him at
Speaker 1: two years away, later Report had him in one year away,
Speaker 1: and both said they needed to sign Dack, stay healthy
Speaker 1: and improve the defense. And like you just said, Nate,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how you do that two years, let
Speaker 1: alone one. I here's what the Cowboys have to do,
Speaker 1: Like you talked about going all in, Like the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have to make a splash. They have to find a
Speaker 1: way to make a splash. Now that may mean trading
Speaker 1: one of their favorite players. That may mean, you know,
Speaker 1: doing something outside of the box that helps this defense
Speaker 1: out dramatically. And again we're talking about a team where
Speaker 1: if Dak comes back healthy and by the way, fellas
Speaker 1: completely just take this and we'll put this to the side.
Speaker 1: We have to dive more into this thing of Dak
Speaker 1: maybe not being one hundred percent healthy right now, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that he is and not saying that he
Speaker 1: is it. I'm just saying we're talking about him being
Speaker 1: This accident happened in October and it's February and I'm
Speaker 1: hearing Dak is still like on crutches and wheelchairs and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So that's a whole other conversation. But
Speaker 1: you just trumped everything you're about to say, because I'm
Speaker 1: mind with dead. You have just defensively, defensively, this team.
Speaker 1: You don't have to overhaul this defense. We've talked about
Speaker 1: this time and time again before. This team doesn't need
Speaker 1: the number one defense in the league. This team doesn't
Speaker 1: need a top five defense. This team that need a
Speaker 1: top ten defense. You have to find yourself somewhere in
Speaker 1: the middle of the road, and that maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: bringing in a guy in the secondary, bringing in a
Speaker 1: guy in that linebacker. They doesn't have to be superstars.
Speaker 1: We get so enamorous and so fixated on him the names.
Speaker 1: That's the cowboy wave. If the names aren't what we
Speaker 1: think they should be, we think that those players aren't
Speaker 1: good players. I talk about this all the time. When
Speaker 1: you look at a guy like Blake Martinez, most people
Speaker 1: don't know who Blake Martinez is. Take I'll take Blake
Speaker 1: Martinez any day, twice on Sunday. Why he is a
Speaker 1: tackling machine, doesn't have the big name, doesn't have the
Speaker 1: fancy everything. And then in all the commercials don't have
Speaker 1: the signature celebration or the big business moves off the field,
Speaker 1: is a football player. And if the Cowboys can find
Speaker 1: a way to find football players. I don't need Pro bowlers.
Speaker 1: Those are nice, Those are great. I don't need all pros.
Speaker 1: Those are nice, Those are great. But if I can get,
Speaker 1: if I can get football players who can grasp a concept,
Speaker 1: play lights out at their position, and just simply do
Speaker 1: what we asked them to do on a very high
Speaker 1: consistent basis, I think this offense is good enough if
Speaker 1: Dak is healthy, to take this team to greater to
Speaker 1: greater heights. We just we just don't need a defense
Speaker 1: in the twenty seven and twenty eight and twenty nine
Speaker 1: and twenty sixty. We need a defense that's around fourteen fifteen,
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen if we're somewhere around there, creating some turnovers,
Speaker 1: creating some stops every now and again. This offense is
Speaker 1: built great enough where it can take over and win
Speaker 1: football games. It just shouldn't have to be always in
Speaker 1: forty forty point battles every single week because your defense
Speaker 1: couldn't stop in those bleak So would you like to
Speaker 1: see them find those football players to draft or through
Speaker 1: Like you said, the current guys you already kind of
Speaker 1: know about. I want to mixture of both. I think
Speaker 1: I think a mixture. But the thing is, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna draft these guys, draft these guys that's gonna play.
Speaker 1: We don't have time to draft guys and shelve them.
Speaker 1: We don't have time to having guys truly like developed.
Speaker 1: We don't have two or three years. You need to
Speaker 1: get guys who are gonna be able to come here
Speaker 1: and impact now, to truly be an impact right now.
Speaker 1: That's in a rotation fine, but also mixing some vectorans
Speaker 1: that's gonna be able to play every single down while
Speaker 1: these younger guys are playing in the mix and their
Speaker 1: gain their experience. You gotta have some You gotta have
Speaker 1: some stability, but you also have to make sure that
Speaker 1: your coboard is still full. You can't just go out
Speaker 1: there with with with empty covers and hoping and praying
Speaker 1: that the guys is playing the number one spot is
Speaker 1: gonna be healthy all year long. You gotta have some stability,
Speaker 1: and you gotta have a couboard that's that's a tabbit
Speaker 1: full with some players that can play the game We're
Speaker 1: gonna keep our covering full of wingstyle because we're going
Speaker 1: to take a break to pay the bills so we
Speaker 1: could all eat. And when we come back, Jimmy Johnson

Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson was on the USA Today podcast, I think
Speaker 1: it was last week or over the weekend, and he
Speaker 1: had a very interesting comment. So I want to get
Speaker 1: your take on this. Jesse, want to get your take
Speaker 1: on this too. Kurt obviously you brought you brought this
Speaker 1: to the table, so we want to get your your
Speaker 1: take too. So Chris, you gotta you got about a
Speaker 1: minute long clip that we're going to just play the audio,
Speaker 1: so roll that whenever you were ready, sir. I don't
Speaker 1: know that bringing in someone new is going to change things.
Speaker 1: It's a it's really a unique place to coach and
Speaker 1: to work. There are so many accolades that go their
Speaker 1: way and unearned. A lot of those players walk around
Speaker 1: like they got super Bowl rings on, because that's the
Speaker 1: way the public and throughout the country they are treated.
Speaker 1: They're treated like, hey, you just want the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: But in reality, they didn't even make the playoffs. And
Speaker 1: so the coach has going to be a hard line,
Speaker 1: you know, no nonsense type of guy, and sometimes he's
Speaker 1: got to combat. Then I would start my very first
Speaker 1: practice like we were one in fifteen, and that's how
Speaker 1: I treat those players, and we would be as physical
Speaker 1: as the NFL would let us be. But I would
Speaker 1: grind on them by the you know, by the middle
Speaker 1: of the season. They would hate to see me coming,
Speaker 1: you know, and but hey, sometimes some way, somehow, you
Speaker 1: got to bring him back down to urdin h you
Speaker 1: make him realize they only won like six games or so. So, Nate,
Speaker 1: what I want to get from you just general comments
Speaker 1: on what Jimmy said. And then Jesse, what I what
Speaker 1: I want. What I want to get from you is
Speaker 1: how different our players really treated here in Dallas. Because
Speaker 1: we're around it, we see it. You've been other players,
Speaker 1: says recently. How does you know even a practice squad
Speaker 1: guy or a special teams guy get treated differently here
Speaker 1: in Dallas than they do in some of these other
Speaker 1: stops that you've been in. So, Jesse, you take it first,
Speaker 1: then Nate, you jump in after you. Guys laugh when
Speaker 1: I say this, but it's all about the star. It's
Speaker 1: all about this right here. And if you are associated
Speaker 1: with this at any juncture in your career, and you're
Speaker 1: in the DFW area, and a lot of times, the
Speaker 1: bigger your name is associated with this, the farther it
Speaker 1: stretches out, you're a god. We've had this conversation before.
Speaker 1: I was a practice squad guy. When I got to
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I was relegated basically the special teams. My
Speaker 1: entire career with the Cowboys, I was making thirty to
Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars in the offseason and autograph session autograph
Speaker 1: signings like let that sink in for a second. In
Speaker 1: my playing days, a guy who started on the practice
Speaker 1: squad and may have played in a game depending on
Speaker 1: how the game went. Fifteens total snaps and most of
Speaker 1: my plays that if I made any, it went unknown
Speaker 1: because it was a special team's tackle or you know,
Speaker 1: maybe one catch that moved the change for a first down.
Speaker 1: Any offseason, Hey, two thousand dollars, when you come sign here, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna fly you to come down here? Would you
Speaker 1: come sign here? Hey, would you come do this? And
Speaker 1: this is me, I'm okay with saying I'm I was
Speaker 1: a Jag. I was just another guy. I was easily replaced, replaceable. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, Coach Garrett one time said I wish I
Speaker 1: had fifty three of you. I said, coach, you got one.
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, but we're gonna release you anyway. And
Speaker 1: so wait, you wish you to have fifty three of you,
Speaker 1: You got one of me, and you want to let
Speaker 1: that one go. So and it was it was an afterthrought.
Speaker 1: But when you're when you're here in Dallas and you
Speaker 1: play for the Dallas Cowboys. You are you are? You know,
Speaker 1: I would say you are a Demi god. And there
Speaker 1: the doors open up for you, The restaurants reserved tables
Speaker 1: for you, your car gets parked out front. You get
Speaker 1: all the special treatment because you're associated with the America's
Speaker 1: team with this thing right here. And it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if you're a practice squad guy like myself or if
Speaker 1: you're Prescott Ezekiel Elliott. Now those guys, the treatment gets
Speaker 1: even better. I mean, I mean from simple things as restaurants,
Speaker 1: to getting out of tickets, to getting out of court
Speaker 1: cases or you name it. When you're associated with this,
Speaker 1: you have a different sense of reality because it doesn't
Speaker 1: apply to you because you're playing by a different set
Speaker 1: of rule simply because of this thing right here. And
Speaker 1: you had that helmet on. So it's not like that
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati they was arresting them. Cats left them right
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati when I was there and I was there
Speaker 1: in the conference to sit right there on the bridge.
Speaker 1: They just sit right there on the club. And Cincinnati
Speaker 1: the club owners used to invite the players out, licker
Speaker 1: them up, and then when they leave, call and tell
Speaker 1: the police that the players are coming back. Over the bridge,
Speaker 1: the cops will be sitting literally two and three cops
Speaker 1: will be sitting at the bridge when you're crossing back
Speaker 1: over into Ohio and it's Cincinnati. You know, the guys
Speaker 1: who got the all blacked out range Rovers and the
Speaker 1: guys who got the Mercedes, and the guys who got
Speaker 1: the you know, the orange Lamborghinis, like they will. Man,
Speaker 1: go back and look at Cincinnati from like oh five,
Speaker 1: the old nine. There was the rest of them jokers
Speaker 1: left and right, and the same thing in New England,
Speaker 1: like unless you're the guy, nobody's trying to really hear
Speaker 1: from you. But here in Dallas who they still making
Speaker 1: They still making big money. He played thirty years ago, Nate,
Speaker 1: what you think about what Jimmy had you said? Jimmy
Speaker 1: said his comments hard line, no nonsense start like we
Speaker 1: were one in fifteen. By the middle of the year,
Speaker 1: we would hate to see him coming. That is totally
Speaker 1: and completely how it was when Jimmy got here. Jimmy,
Speaker 1: when we saw him coming, you know, it was the
Speaker 1: middle of the season. Man, we didn't know whether to
Speaker 1: speed drop our head or we was getting cut. We
Speaker 1: didn't know how to take this coach because and y'all
Speaker 1: have heard me say. Every time they have went to
Speaker 1: hire any position coach, I've said, please let this coach
Speaker 1: play the coach. Please let him put his stamp on
Speaker 1: his team. Please let him have total control. Now, when
Speaker 1: you let a coach house total control? Can you can
Speaker 1: get rid of this coach if he doesn't complete his job?
Speaker 1: How can you get rid of a coach where you
Speaker 1: said every decision is a joint venture, every decision can
Speaker 1: be explained away. There's no one being held accountable in
Speaker 1: including the coach. So I'm with coach Johnson. Lord knows
Speaker 1: I didn't like the man when he first got here.
Speaker 1: Lord knows I didn't like him. It's definitely after the
Speaker 1: first year to about to sitting in my locker every week.
Speaker 1: I definitely didn't like him. But guess what it did
Speaker 1: for me as a player. And people say what players
Speaker 1: are different? Well, I guess that's why up until last year,
Speaker 1: I guess that's why the Patriots continue to win. I
Speaker 1: guess up until last year. Where even last year, I
Speaker 1: guess that's why distillers continue to win because they have
Speaker 1: a culture that's not going to be shaken by a
Speaker 1: few players that think they're good and Tonio Brown is
Speaker 1: one of the best in the business. Bell was one
Speaker 1: of the best in the business. They no longer play
Speaker 1: for the Stillers and the Stillers even though they fell
Speaker 1: apart at the end of the year, they still want
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve games. You have to have a mindset
Speaker 1: that cannot be broken by the outside. See Jesson pointed
Speaker 1: to the stop, but I pointed this ugly picture my
Speaker 1: wife got behind me. That's what they should see. That's
Speaker 1: what they should see every when they go into this
Speaker 1: see a bleakness. They should see a hole. Well, see
Speaker 1: this hole over here. They should see a hole where
Speaker 1: they where they are going through it. You know, they
Speaker 1: should have an imperence in their heart. That should whether
Speaker 1: they don't know whether they're gonna make the team or not.
Speaker 1: I go to Jackson State and I look at Dione
Speaker 1: Sanders in the way he's coaching, and I'll put them
Speaker 1: to the side. I said, how you doing, Jimmy Saban.
Speaker 1: He's like, what that's how you're doing, Jimmy Saban. Why
Speaker 1: you calling me Jimmy Saban? Where you're acting like Jimmy
Speaker 1: Johnson and Nick Saban. You ain't cutting these players, no
Speaker 1: slack You're like, nah, unsmart players. Players that don't want
Speaker 1: this game where I want it, they gotta leave. And
Speaker 1: we got a bunch of players on this team that
Speaker 1: don't want this game. Kurt, you want the game more
Speaker 1: than what some of these guys want. You be upset
Speaker 1: out of the game more than some of these guys.
Speaker 1: When you can get on the phone five to ten
Speaker 1: minutes out of a game, the coach hasn't even spoken yet.
Speaker 1: Everybody's still getting undressed, and you texting what we are
Speaker 1: your priorities, Nate? The we are your priorities? Does it?
Speaker 1: Does it bother you? And I just thought of it
Speaker 1: this way here and you talk? Does it bother you
Speaker 1: that you you were part of championship seasons. You helped
Speaker 1: propel this franchise into what it is, and that Star
Speaker 1: to to become what it is. You know, there were people,
Speaker 1: there were there were teams before you, you know, the
Speaker 1: Bible Lily teams and the Starback teams and the and
Speaker 1: the you know Randy White teams, and then you were
Speaker 1: part of that legacy that kept it going. And does
Speaker 1: it bother you that the players feel entitled and they
Speaker 1: and they have that attitude knowing that you were part
Speaker 1: of guys that did it, and you kept it going.
Speaker 1: And now what you kept going is kind of it's
Speaker 1: kind of dying off and away. Yeah, I tell people
Speaker 1: you take advantage of the situation. You don't want to
Speaker 1: be grudged. None of these kids the opportunity to make money.
Speaker 1: Let them make all the money they can. But I
Speaker 1: still say you can make all the money you can.
Speaker 1: Love this game player as hard as you can and
Speaker 1: milk it for everything it's worth. That's on the field
Speaker 1: first and off the field second. Because if you milk
Speaker 1: it for everything is worth on the field and have
Speaker 1: great success, just think right about now, they are saving
Speaker 1: you a space at the club for your car. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're becoming to pick you up. They'd
Speaker 1: be like, hey, can we send a limo to pick
Speaker 1: you your family or your friends? Because you are winning games,
Speaker 1: you're really challenging something that it changes your money goes
Speaker 1: from what Jesse saw about thirty thousand. You're talking about
Speaker 1: people give you seventy and eighty and ninety thousand dollars
Speaker 1: off season just for a guy that's on special teams.
Speaker 1: They don't see the big picture that if you excel
Speaker 1: here as a Dallas Cowboys and do everything you can.
Speaker 1: The world is truly yours right now. They're just scraping
Speaker 1: around the edges. They're benefiting off of something that mister
Speaker 1: Jones have created. They're not doing this on their own.
Speaker 1: They're not generating anything. It's just a great marketing job
Speaker 1: by by, by the Joneses. So given that that, you know,
Speaker 1: off the field, they are just you know, like Jesse said,
Speaker 1: den my god, they're just swarmed and beloved. And then
Speaker 1: maybe on the field, you you know, you mentioned maybe
Speaker 1: the decisions are jointly made. Can one man changes? Can
Speaker 1: Markcarthy come in and change all this? Yes, sir? When
Speaker 1: when when I Jimmy talking? They asked Jimmy a long
Speaker 1: time ago, can he come back into this league? And
Speaker 1: coach and coach John said, I'm not that guy anymore.
Speaker 1: Don't you know how hard it is to wake up
Speaker 1: in the morning with one goal? Jimmy fired his wife
Speaker 1: so he could be the Dallas Cowboys coach because he
Speaker 1: didn't want anything or anybody to take away from his
Speaker 1: single focus of turning this that. Do you know how
Speaker 1: hard it is to wake up and look at your
Speaker 1: wife and say, hey, babe, I'm going to Cincinnati and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna change it around. I don't want to go
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. Baby bye, I'll see you when I get back. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm leaving you by are your kids? Hey, hey, son,
Speaker 1: I can't come to your college game. I'm focused on
Speaker 1: turn around and Cincinnati Bengals. Your mom and dad had
Speaker 1: come in town. You say, hey, I got a meet
Speaker 1: and I got a ten. When your single focus is
Speaker 1: only on the Dallas Cowboys and turn around their program
Speaker 1: and making sure that everything focuses you know, everybody's gonna
Speaker 1: have a well rounded life. Well, we well rounded and
Speaker 1: we and we mediocre? Yeah, we are well rounded. Now
Speaker 1: you you talk to these guys, they well round it.
Speaker 1: They can speak well, they can talk well, they can
Speaker 1: but the only thing they can't do well is when

Speaker 1: you know, I just don't want to talk anymore. And
Speaker 1: two like you put this this together and it's all
Speaker 1: really interesting fun stuff, so you take it away. Talk
Speaker 1: super Bowl, Kurt Daniels, let's go. First off, I just
Speaker 1: wanted to get, you know, Nate Jesse, your opinions on
Speaker 1: kind of how this is set up this year due
Speaker 1: to COVID. I don't think the Chiefs are flying into
Speaker 1: Tampa till Saturday. Um, so it's only it's like a
Speaker 1: normal week, whereas you know normal super Bowls, they've been
Speaker 1: there all week, they've been there a few days. I
Speaker 1: think this is an advantage for the Chiefs and that they,
Speaker 1: you know, are keeping it like a normal week as
Speaker 1: they would or do you think it would have been
Speaker 1: better for them to be there kind of get used
Speaker 1: to Tampa, get used to the scene and that whole thing. Um.
Speaker 1: I think I personally think it's an advantage for for
Speaker 1: for Kansas City. One, you already know what it is
Speaker 1: to be at a super Bowl. Most of the guys
Speaker 1: in your roster, right at least half the guys in
Speaker 1: your roster have been to the Super Bowl. UM in Tampa.
Speaker 1: But if you're if you're at home and you're doing
Speaker 1: your thing at your own crib, you're sleeping in your
Speaker 1: own bid, practicing your own facilities, and you don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about all that hoopla. I think that's it
Speaker 1: helps easier for you to lock in and stay focused
Speaker 1: on what on what you're doing. And the same thing
Speaker 1: for Tampa is that outside of maybe Tom Brady and
Speaker 1: a couple other guys, none of those guys have even
Speaker 1: been to the playoffs in the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: so let alone a super Bowl. I think not having
Speaker 1: all the hype and the media and the fanfare and
Speaker 1: all of these obligations and naked speaking to the better
Speaker 1: than I am. But just in having to deal with
Speaker 1: tickets alone is already a headache. That is a headache
Speaker 1: and a half deal with tickets. Who's coming bidder? You're
Speaker 1: trying to make a decision, right, Yeah, where they're going
Speaker 1: to stay. You can't see your family because of all
Speaker 1: the COVID restrictions. So I mean, I think I get
Speaker 1: that everybody has to make money so you have all
Speaker 1: the hoopla, but I mean it's it's it's an advantage
Speaker 1: for both teams. I get it. I get to stay
Speaker 1: in Kansas City and work on all I need to
Speaker 1: work on without having all the hoopla and fanfare. And
Speaker 1: then for Tampa Bay, I don't have guys getting the
Speaker 1: distracted by all the hooplob who's never been here before.
Speaker 1: They could stay locked in and stay focused. That's why
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be one of the one
Speaker 1: of the greatest Super Bowls we've seen in a long time.
Speaker 1: M Well, I can't add nothing to that. That's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel the same way you feel that that's gonna
Speaker 1: come down to the best team, the best defense, in
Speaker 1: the best quarterback. Would you have rather stayed home and
Speaker 1: done it like a normal week. But but Nate. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Nate, so what about what about like super Bowl
Speaker 1: number two and three? Though, like, you got the first
Speaker 1: one and that was great, but what about super Bowl
Speaker 1: two and three? Were you kind of like, all right,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll say super Bowl the third super Bowl? It's like,
Speaker 1: all right, cool, We've been here, We've done that. I
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with this. I want to just
Speaker 1: play the game, because you know what I'm saying, because
Speaker 1: you've been there a couple of times. No, all right,
Speaker 1: I wanted it, bro I wanted that. I wanted that
Speaker 1: street life forget for the super Bowl? That man, Karen
Speaker 1: minds been you two of the super Bowls you played in,
Speaker 1: I think the first and the third there was two
Speaker 1: weeks between, but the second one there was only one
Speaker 1: week between, so you didn't have that kind of extra
Speaker 1: that hurt. Yeah, that hurt, man, that I ain't getting
Speaker 1: stretched with legs. Oh man. Okay, So we're three days
Speaker 1: away now from the super Bowl's Thursday. What was that
Speaker 1: like for you, Nate, where things getting more serious, the
Speaker 1: nerves start firing up a little bit, didn't Jimmy make
Speaker 1: it tougher I mean, or back off? I mean, how
Speaker 1: did it ramp up by this point. That is where
Speaker 1: Jimmy was so good at keeping all the practices close
Speaker 1: to what we did at home, even how we he
Speaker 1: handled us on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the week or
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He said, ain't no curfew on y'all.
Speaker 1: Y'all know what to do. We've been here, done that.
Speaker 1: First he was a little bit more stiffer. Second year, relaxed, second,
Speaker 1: third year relaxed, third time relaxed. He knew that we
Speaker 1: was gonna take care of business. We was gonna do
Speaker 1: what was right. We was gonna get off the street,
Speaker 1: was gonna do what was right. We were. We were
Speaker 1: older and slowing down tremendously in that last Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: But thanks to Larry Brown and Neil O'Donnell. Is that
Speaker 1: I'm pronouncing that cat's name records. I don't never want
Speaker 1: to get his name wrong. I got to do that
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, brother, dude. I've heard that was it? The
Speaker 1: Friday practices? I mean, Jimmy, those were some of the
Speaker 1: toughest practices you had. Did I hear that one time
Speaker 1: he strived on Friday, Jimmy stride for perfection. We had
Speaker 1: on shorts and shoulder pads and our helmets, and he
Speaker 1: strived for perfection. You know, he wanted you going fast.
Speaker 1: You didn't have to kill yourself, but he wanted you
Speaker 1: going fast into the right holes of the right gaps,
Speaker 1: getting the right fits. He wanted to receive us flying
Speaker 1: off the ball. He wanted his dvs running with you,
Speaker 1: and you know, not so much being physical, but he
Speaker 1: wanted ever you want to see everybody being where it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be. And he was some enthusiasm why you
Speaker 1: was doing it. You didn't have to kill yourself like
Speaker 1: we did on on Wednesday and Thursday, but on Fridays
Speaker 1: he wanted to see that you knew what you was doing.
Speaker 1: So our practices was mentally tough. Was it the same
Speaker 1: way in New England? Jess Well, I wasn't there when
Speaker 1: they went to Super Bowl, but as far as practices, that, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was. It was always about what you
Speaker 1: talked about, perfection, get it right, get it you know,
Speaker 1: and and there's been times in practice where we've done
Speaker 1: it five times in a row. And you know, I remember,
Speaker 1: I'll tell a very quick brief story was when I
Speaker 1: first got there, they had just um they had they
Speaker 1: had the West Welker catch that they will not catch
Speaker 1: against the giant that he dropped. Remember that one and
Speaker 1: his wife was talking about it and you know in
Speaker 1: the in the hallway or whatever. Well, we had run
Speaker 1: that same play in practice and Tom Brady overthrew Westwelker
Speaker 1: and Tom is yelling like, let's run it again, and
Speaker 1: uh and Josh downs like right, no, play next play.
Speaker 1: Times like, no, we're running it again. This ish cost us.
Speaker 1: We're running it again. We ran it again. This time
Speaker 1: West dropped the ball. The same play ran again, and
Speaker 1: Time's like, why did the f up? Let's go run
Speaker 1: it again. We're gonna run this play until we get
Speaker 1: it right. This play will not cost us another game.
Speaker 1: And we ran it again and we got it right,
Speaker 1: and then we moved on to the next play. And
Speaker 1: that's early in the year, Like it was like that's
Speaker 1: the start of the season. That was Yes, that's Troy
Speaker 1: never had to worry because Jimmy was always locked in
Speaker 1: focus on them Friday to practice. I've seen him one
Speaker 1: time call us all up. He said, everybody gets your
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, we all running up like, oh man,
Speaker 1: what in the world, Oh my god, we don't messed
Speaker 1: up practice. He called the coaches over to the side
Speaker 1: and cuss them out. This is the players are trying
Speaker 1: to do the best it canny. You y'all need to pack.
Speaker 1: Oh he went all from the coaches. Then we saw
Speaker 1: the practice over again. I'm over that laughing, but I
Speaker 1: make sure didn't mess up that A little vengeance on
Speaker 1: just Justesse. That reminds me. I mean, why don't you
Speaker 1: think of Danny? And Mendola came out this week and
Speaker 1: said the Patriot Way isn't Bill Belichick, it's Tom Brady
Speaker 1: And did he bring that kind of Is that what
Speaker 1: the differences this year really with the Bucks? It's what
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is, bro. You know, I heard about that,
Speaker 1: and it's I said, I think I think it goes
Speaker 1: hand in hand, right, It's it's Bill Belichick was able
Speaker 1: to create that culture because Tom Brady helped him win.
Speaker 1: You can't there's certain things you just can't do and
Speaker 1: demand if you ain't winning. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But
Speaker 1: when you begin to win and win at the rate
Speaker 1: that they were winning, not just games but super Bowls,
Speaker 1: and your best player is the biggest catalyst of doing
Speaker 1: everything right, doing it at all, being the first guy
Speaker 1: there being in meetings, not missing practices, doesn't take days off,
Speaker 1: you know, all of those things, and you're winning now
Speaker 1: that it just went together so well. And and and
Speaker 1: Bill was able to have that type of way about
Speaker 1: him and the program because Tom Brady was the guy
Speaker 1: who was saying, Yeah, Bill, I'm gonna challenge you. You're
Speaker 1: gonna challenge me, but we're damn sure gonna challenge every
Speaker 1: man in this locker room. And it's going to result
Speaker 1: in victories. And when it results in victories, and now
Speaker 1: we can have the persona of the Patriot Way. So
Speaker 1: I don't think I mean, we saw this year without
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, they didn't look like the Patriot Way. So
Speaker 1: having a guy like Tom Brady and winning, the winning
Speaker 1: is so important, it's so key, it's so critical you
Speaker 1: cannot you know, you just can't demand what you can
Speaker 1: demand without the winning part of it because it'll get
Speaker 1: tied up, getting old and guy's black man, Shut the
Speaker 1: hell up? What are you talking about? What are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Coach? You want nothing? But when Bill speaks,
Speaker 1: used to listen because you're like, dude, got ten rings,
Speaker 1: you know, So the deal is man, Kurt Is Lebron
Speaker 1: left Cleveland went to the Heat because their GM. It's
Speaker 1: a winner. Pat Riley is a winner. And he went
Speaker 1: there and he learned and he watched and he took
Speaker 1: the notes and he learned how to win and took
Speaker 1: it back to Cleveland and demanded that he was that GM.
Speaker 1: And he picked and chose the players and Tom Brady
Speaker 1: when he left, he looked, Okay, I'm gonna get better
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I'm gonna get everything almost equal to what
Speaker 1: coach has given me. But if I go in there
Speaker 1: with the right frame of mind. And remember he went
Speaker 1: against all COVID protocols with his offense. He didn't care
Speaker 1: if you saw him out on the field with his guys,
Speaker 1: and he took the time as the seasons to build
Speaker 1: these guys into ramp them. And you heard Lenith Fournette
Speaker 1: last week say, yes, Tom picked me. He said, come in,
Speaker 1: I'll show you the way. Yes. I had to do
Speaker 1: extra work out of practice, I had to do extra
Speaker 1: film work. But boy, has it paid off when you
Speaker 1: when you when you're leaders, like Jesse said, we could
Speaker 1: I could not do anything wrong because of Troy, Mike Emmett,
Speaker 1: Charles Haley, Tony Tolber, guys like that Woodie. They wasn't playing,
Speaker 1: They wasn't playing and when and Jimmy always told me
Speaker 1: I should trying to pick coach Johnson? What what? What?
Speaker 1: What's you like about this guy? He loves the game
Speaker 1: of football. They're never laid. Now, Mike's the exception to do.
Speaker 1: They never laid. They're doing extra film study and they
Speaker 1: loved the game. Well, what you know by that thirday
Speaker 1: again it's anniversary Super Bowl thirty. But that third one,
Speaker 1: Berry Switzer was at the helm. I mean, was it
Speaker 1: at this point? Was the players kind of running the show?
Speaker 1: They knew what to do? Orsi Yes, sir. The residue
Speaker 1: or what Jesse said about this season with coach Garrett
Speaker 1: and his staff has left the residue, it was enough
Speaker 1: residue from what Jimmy had left in US and with
Speaker 1: left in Troy and Mike and these guys. So we
Speaker 1: were able to get one more out of ourselves. Could
Speaker 1: I mean this might be a loaded question, but did
Speaker 1: you win because of Switzer or despite Switzer? We won
Speaker 1: with coach Swisser on with Coach Swisser it won in
Speaker 1: spite of him, because we won with coach Swizzer Like,
Speaker 1: like I said, we had enough residue left, enough character,
Speaker 1: enough pride in what we were doing to make sure
Speaker 1: we got that last one in. And once again, I
Speaker 1: would never ever exclude O'Donnell has been a part of
Speaker 1: our team. Did you guys give him a Super bowls
Speaker 1: shared a Super Bowl popper? Gave Moraine something? You know,
Speaker 1: this gig gotta walk around with that for the rest
Speaker 1: of his life. Oh man, all right, well, last we
Speaker 1: get the last few minutes here. I think it's always
Speaker 1: funny around the Super Bowl. You know, it's biggest betting
Speaker 1: day of the year, I think, but it's not just
Speaker 1: who's gonna win and who's gonna be MVP. It's all
Speaker 1: these funny side bets. So I was digging through some
Speaker 1: of those and I thought i'd bring a few of
Speaker 1: those up. I don't know really if it's anything you
Speaker 1: can answer, but just kind of throwing them out there
Speaker 1: to get your opinion. But here's some of the funnier ones.
Speaker 1: That one of them is the one side has the
Speaker 1: odds on the primary color of Jim Nance's tie with
Speaker 1: blue be in the favorite purple the long shot. I
Speaker 1: don't know why anyone would bet on that a normal
Speaker 1: one every two year or every year I think is
Speaker 1: will the national anthem? You know, the over under of
Speaker 1: the national anthem, which I think here's to this year's
Speaker 1: it's around two minutes. So I don't know what did
Speaker 1: you guys ever, like Nate were you? You had one
Speaker 1: of the greatest national anthems ever, I think with Whitney Houston.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but this is in time of it, man,
Speaker 1: I just enjoyed it. I didn't know if it was
Speaker 1: two minutes or five minutes. I just enjoyed it that
Speaker 1: she was singing it. So yeah, I don't know. You
Speaker 1: have always I always bet the over when when there's
Speaker 1: a when there's a black person singing the national anthem,
Speaker 1: because we always got it. We always got to add
Speaker 1: a little extra to the normal. So whenever, whenever saying it,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm going, I'll take the over non Tom
Speaker 1: out of ten, I don't even I can't remember who's
Speaker 1: singing it this year. I think it's a couple of
Speaker 1: different people maybe or one's doing it, maybe one's doing
Speaker 1: the anthem, ones doing the God Bless America thing. But anyway, um,
Speaker 1: there's a lot around Tom Brady, including how many times
Speaker 1: they're gonna show his wife Giselle bunch is a bunchings
Speaker 1: one and a half over hundreds one and a half.
Speaker 1: Which overweight i'd like to see, Yeah, I'd like to
Speaker 1: see the over on. Now. I ain't giving a ton
Speaker 1: of money on that. I PROMI shouldn't show up. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Difference one of them is what uh what is Tom?
Speaker 1: What will be mentioned first? Tom Brady's age, which I
Speaker 1: think is forty three or how many super Bowls he's
Speaker 1: been in fourteen? So age? Yeah, definitely gonna it's an age.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be age. It's gonna here's they're gonna open
Speaker 1: up with Tom Brady, forty three year old Tom. They're
Speaker 1: gonna open up with that. Yeah, here's one for this year.
Speaker 1: The weekend is doing the halftime show. He's the big start.
Speaker 1: It's they've got bets on whether he will come out
Speaker 1: wearing sunglasses or not. I don't know. The week he
Speaker 1: gonna show off that new face. He guy, he ain't
Speaker 1: wear no sunglasses, No Tom Brady new face. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: it's weird looking, Yeah, I know, it's just a youthful look.
Speaker 1: You know that he was taking us you know, taking
Speaker 1: some better vitamins or something. But anyway, I don't know
Speaker 1: about them facelifts and all of that man our our
Speaker 1: behind the scene lead to Christ Beams said, it's Jasmine
Speaker 1: Sullivan and Eric Church. They're doing a duet for the
Speaker 1: national anthem. That'd be way over. Eric Church is though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's a country and they draw those syllables out,
Speaker 1: so that's wait, wait, okay, all right, all right, he
Speaker 1: got some soul to a soul in a country that
Speaker 1: ain't no but blooms coming out Eric Church. Eric Church
Speaker 1: got some soul too, So let's go away about hit
Speaker 1: five minutes. Yeah, that's gonna be some long morning and wind.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what if I was Jasmine or Eric
Speaker 1: Church or the weekend, I I bet the over. I
Speaker 1: bet I'd be wearing sunglasses and I'd wear the sunglas'
Speaker 1: I'd have my handler down the thing I said, the
Speaker 1: same thing. I'm like, I would have a friend or
Speaker 1: a relative like yo, listen, go bet one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: on sunglasses. Yeah, and well, I'll split the profit with you.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Like here, take on a
Speaker 1: hundred thous and go back to bet. I'm going to
Speaker 1: wear sunglasses. I don't. I don't know if there's some
Speaker 1: sort of thing that's like I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but like this is easy money to make or anybody
Speaker 1: they gotta take it easy money. That's easy money. I agree,
Speaker 1: easy money. I was like, if I would tell you
Speaker 1: someone and and like for a singer, you know, this
Speaker 1: is a constant bet that they make every single year,
Speaker 1: will the national anthem go over whatever? A lot of
Speaker 1: time out I would be like, hey, here's fifty thousand,
Speaker 1: Jackson has fifty thousand dollars. I'm putting a fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars bet in and says, yes, I am, And I
Speaker 1: would be practicing the guard time a week later, I
Speaker 1: do name veto show up at joust and yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do. This is always a
Speaker 1: good one too. I think they do this every year.
Speaker 1: The MVP, who are the MVP? Thank first? The favorite?
Speaker 1: Right now, it's teammates. He's gonna take his teammates. The
Speaker 1: long shot. I think the field is, you know, betting
Speaker 1: the fields of long shot. Who can be anybody? But
Speaker 1: the next second long shot is the owner that the
Speaker 1: guy thinking the owner first? I thought I thought, thinking
Speaker 1: God might be the favorite, but you know it's the
Speaker 1: teammates right now. I think for Tom. Tom always likes
Speaker 1: to think like his wife and his father, his mom
Speaker 1: and daddy. He always makes it a point to thank them.
Speaker 1: But I don't know it's a good one teammates. Tom
Speaker 1: might go teammates because he's been there, so he knows
Speaker 1: all the little hoop lot of saying. I don't know, Patrick,
Speaker 1: you know, he might think the family. Thank anybody that's
Speaker 1: gonna give me the car you're thinking for it or something.
Speaker 1: Thanks the wing stop for getting. Who do you got?
Speaker 1: Who you guys got in the Super Bowl? Kurt? Who
Speaker 1: are you picking? Well? I'm going with Kansie. I go
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Even though I was a Cowboys fan,
Speaker 1: I still have a soft place for the Chiefs, So
Speaker 1: I think they're They're good unless thinking unless the defensive
Speaker 1: line jump all over the now. No, I'm going with
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I'm going with the Chiefs, all right. His
Speaker 1: bet he was you got Nate, I'm gonna go with U.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the NFC. I've always been with NFC,
Speaker 1: even even when I know I was gonna lose to Tom.
Speaker 1: Brady like, I think we're gonna lose to this kid.
Speaker 1: But I'm going with NFC. I'm I'm not gonna I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna Hedge. I'm just going with the NFC. Jesse here,
Speaker 1: I'm going with it. I'm going with the young gun.
Speaker 1: This is this is this is the you know the
Speaker 1: old Western movie where the young kid, now you know,
Speaker 1: the old dog hands over the revolver to the new
Speaker 1: young Western. This is it right here, this is Tom
Speaker 1: made me to get this thing up easy. He may
Speaker 1: not give it up easy, but at the end of
Speaker 1: the fight, you know, all right, Son, I just don't
Speaker 1: got it no more. I gave all I had. I
Speaker 1: was not shooting through the heart shot. Passing has to
Speaker 1: pass the torch on to the to the next great thing.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, if Patrick Mahon takes this
Speaker 1: league to the next level. Patrick Mahons is so sweet man, Kurt,
Speaker 1: You're gonna win on me. But it's okay, Jesse, who
Speaker 1: you got a beard? Who you got you know? I
Speaker 1: think Kansas City is gonna win. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you slow down that offense. Tampa Bays. The only way
Speaker 1: they can win this game is if they win the
Speaker 1: turnover battle. But I just don't see city turning over
Speaker 1: enough for them to close the gap and score enough point.
Speaker 1: But I heard, I heard Tom in his crib. I
Speaker 1: got a little secret Mike and Tom Brady's crib. You
Speaker 1: know what he said? But in his bedroom, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: his bed room. I didn't want to face that set.
Speaker 1: I don't think his body look as good as his face.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear what Zelle sounds like passion?
Speaker 1: What is Zelle got that Brazilian accent? You know what
Speaker 1: I'm sayin Park Girl, Trailer Park like they sounded like
Speaker 1: they sounded like Nate. They sounded like Nate wrestling with
Speaker 1: Tom Brady told these guys, he said, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what I got. The one coming factor in my super
Speaker 1: Bowl that I lost that we got now it's called
Speaker 1: Jason pr Paul, who the Cowboys didn't pick up. I
Speaker 1: like it. So I think Cowboys didn't pick up Jason
Speaker 1: Pierre Paul. We got Tyrn Matthew. We could have had
Speaker 1: what the other take that they have their uh one
Speaker 1: thorn Hill got two linebackers that are playing for the
Speaker 1: Chiefs that we didn't go the list that was here,
Speaker 1: Why fellas well, I will see y'all next Thursday. We
Speaker 1: will have a new Super Bowl World champion. When we
Speaker 1: come back, we get well, I'm sure we'll start some
Speaker 1: draft talk, all kinds of good stuff. The new season
Speaker 1: starts Sunday night. As soon as we're looking for Cowboys football,
Speaker 1: be light around the corner, Nate, Jesse, Kurt chris Bane,
Speaker 1: See you next week, peace. This has been a production
Speaker 1: of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
