00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: It's n E W y S c r Uggs. It's

68
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: n E w y S c r Uggs. So it's Friday,

69
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: and according to the National Football League, you can send

70
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: coaches back into the building, so the Cowboys are allowed

71
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: to have head coach Mike McCarthy and his staff. We

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: can be and get back at it at the Star

73
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: in Frisco. McCarthy on a conference call with the media

74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: last week and spoke how he'd been in Green Bay

75
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: since right before the draft, so he's been working out

76
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: of his house up in Wisconsin. So the fact that

77
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: he can get everybody, his whole staff into the building

78
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: here is my opinion, is a plus because look, we

79
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: can do things remotely all day long, but you guys

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: know the coaches and these meetings and things, there's something

81
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: about being in their belly to belly. So then your

82
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: thoughts on coach McCarthy, who's in his first year here

83
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: with a new staff now being able to get in

84
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: the building. I mean, I think it's big. I think

85
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: it's big for those guy has to be able to reconnect,

86
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,559
Speaker 1: similar to how the players will be once they're able

87
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: to get back in. Some of those coaches hadn't worked

88
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: for McCarthy before, so they probably got two or three

89
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: months just to kind of get the norm, but they

90
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: hadn't seen them since then, so just to be able

91
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: to reconnect and kind of build that camaraderie amongst your

92
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff. It's used for those guys because they have

93
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: a lot of work and a lot of catching up

94
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: to do, especially when the players get then because they've

95
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: been off for a while. Church. Yeah, I'm gonna have

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: to agree with m Pray on this one, man. I

97
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 1: think it's huge to get the coaching staff back into

98
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: the building. Like you said, these are a couple of

99
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: guys that have never even worked with McCarthy before, so

100
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: they get to as as they get to get the

101
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: philosophy of his coaching style and how how he wants

102
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: his team to be coached, and they can do that

103
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: in a in a proper setting. I know myself for example,

104
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: you know you can do all the you know, the

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: teaching and all that stuff virtually. But for me, I

106
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: learned bess by you know, interacting with my coaches and

107
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: being on the field with my coaches. So if some

108
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: of the players and some of the coaches have that

109
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: same type of learning ability, then um, I think it's

110
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: huge for them to be able to get back into this,

111
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: into this facility and get things rolling. I mean, like

112
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: we said, this is a whole new staff on into

113
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: a brand new season, so they're already behind the eight

114
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: ball being so they didn't have OTAs in mini camp

115
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So this is huge for them

116
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: getting able to get get the ball rolling towards this season.

117
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: All right, Friday's players allowed to you today, it's scoring

118
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: to be packed. We will die into Dak Prescott as

119
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: he came out with a social media message. We will

120
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: get into Drew Brees and his apology for things he

121
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: said about the flag. We will talk about Will McClay

122
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: who ended up going on to social media with a

123
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: very powerful message. We have news on Travis Frederick that

124
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: we'll get to. Ezekiel Elliott his now allowed. He's now

125
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: put his voice into what has been going on here

126
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: with George Floyd and a whole bunch of other things.

127
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: He but also want to continue to give you the

128
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys news here that we know you want to know.

129
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: So the head coach and the coaching staff allowed back

130
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: in the building. The NFL stated this week that there

131
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: will not be training camp locations other than your own headquarters.

132
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: So for the Cowboys, they're not going to go out

133
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: to Oxnard, California. Jerry's been out in California for years,

134
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you this, I'm bummed because I've always

135
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: enjoyed that trip out to Ojo, California and hanging out

136
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: of some of my favorite spots to eat, like Andrew's

137
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: Seafood Shack over there a green Tura County. But hey,

138
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: Marry Man, that was having been having been an LA

139
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: resident for four years. Man, that was always fun to

140
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: go back there. But so training camps here at the Star,

141
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have experience dealing with that doing that where

142
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: they last year had camp first part over there in

143
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: Oxhar day we're bring it back to the Star, so

144
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: right now they're gonna go ahead have this thing here

145
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: the whole time. Mike McCarthy set on a conference scull

146
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: with the media last week that he had contingency players

147
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: he had playing A and B, So they're gonna go

148
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: at the Star. Barry, tell me the pros and cons

149
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: in your opinion of having camp at home versus leaving. Well,

150
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: one thing, I'll start off with the cons. The cons

151
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: of having it here here at the Star, at home

152
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and your home based and all that good stuff, is

153
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot more distractions. Yes, y're out

154
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: in California, but in Oxnard, California, it's kind of just

155
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: a rural town and you're sitting there and you're all

156
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: kind of at this one hotel all together focused on

157
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: one singular goal. But you know, in Dallas there's a

158
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: lot more distractions, a lot more things to do. When

159
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: you have a three hour break or a four hour

160
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: break where you have that that time between meetings and

161
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: kirtew I mean, there's there's a lot more stuff to

162
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: get into. So there's there's definitely cons of having them

163
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: here in the home state. But the pros to that are,

164
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, guys with families and guys with kids. They

165
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: get to see them more often. Because that's one thing

166
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: I missed a lot when I was you know, with

167
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I go out to ox Star and we'd

168
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: be out there for a whole month and I you know,

169
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: I didn't see my wife, I didn't see my kids

170
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: or anything like that for a whole month. So for

171
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: them to be able to see their families and kind

172
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: of kind of out there because the camp is long,

173
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: it's very very long. So um, you get to dwell

174
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: on your to dwell your thoughts for a long time.

175
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: But being able to see your family kind of kind

176
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: of refreshes your energy out there. So that's a pro

177
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: to go with it. But um, you know, I'm kind

178
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: of bummed they won't be off off the ox Star.

179
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: That was always a fun trip. Yeah, I'm gonna go

180
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: with um, I'm gonna go with the pros first, which

181
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: is the one that their home, so you know, they

182
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: get to go home, they're close to their family and friends,

183
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: they're close to their own houses. When they get that break,

184
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: they can be in a place that they're familiar with. Um,

185
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: for me, the cons outweigh the pros. Just because I

186
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: remember practicing in San Antonio where we went from the

187
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: hotel and then we went to practice in the indoor

188
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: facility and then back to the hotel. And the reason

189
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: that I know that they went to Oxen Arts. In

190
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: the summertime, in Dallas, it's too hot for guys to

191
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: get quality reps throughout the day. So they wanted to

192
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: get to a place to where the weather was good

193
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: enough to where they had a two or three hour practice.

194
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: They could still get quality reps throughout the whole three hours.

195
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: If you try to step outside on that practice field

196
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: on the grass in Dallas in August, those reps and

197
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: the quality those reps will go down because it'll be

198
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: a hundred degrees outside and guys are trying to practice

199
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: in full pads. So those are the comes to me.

200
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: I think. You know, being in Oxnard is great because

201
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: you're outside. It's like a college campus. You know, guys

202
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: can go play basketball, go to the pool, do all

203
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: those type of things, and it's just like your own

204
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: little city. And and Frisco is a little different, all right,

205
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: So let me follow that up here. Mccraig. The Cowboys

206
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: have the Fortunner, so they've got it in door stadium

207
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: that they can use. How much do you want your

208
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: guys indoors and on that turf versus getting them outside

209
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: on the grass. Well, from what I know about McCarthy,

210
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: he wants them outside on the grass. One one thing

211
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: that we know about the turf is if you practice

212
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: on it too much, you start to get a little

213
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: bit of the knee pain and the ankle pan and

214
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: those joints. It kind of wears on you. So players

215
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: really like being on the glass grass and water, and

216
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: they like being an indoor on that turf. So I

217
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: think that'll be a big issue, like I said, because

218
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: it is a lot of times it's too hot for

219
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: you to be outside for two or three hours at

220
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: a time getting getting the quality practice, especially when you're

221
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: on full pass. So I think that'll be a big

222
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: comp for them having to be inside for most of

223
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: the training count So Church, does this mean, you know,

224
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: we're just speculating here, does this mean early practices for

225
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? If McCarthy wants to go outside and maybe

226
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: you're having practices at nine o'clock you're trying to try

227
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: to beat that Texas heat before just beat you down.

228
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have to, Like mc cranze said it,

229
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: You know, if you go on to that indoor facility

230
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: and you do that, you practice the the majority of

231
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: the time, it tends to wear and tear on your

232
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: own your joints because you know that turf is less

233
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: forgiving than the grass out there. So after a while,

234
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: I won't happen the first week, but the second week

235
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: and the third week it camp people are gonna start

236
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: complaining about how either how my knees are kind of

237
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: stiff on, my knees are kind of sore, and joints

238
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: like that. So you're gonna have to take those practices

239
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: outside and altering out there, and you got fifteen to

240
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: twenty pounds of extra equipment on top of you. Those

241
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: reps after the first two, after the first two reps

242
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: are gonna slow down, to slow down and slow down,

243
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: and you're just not gonna get those quality reps. So

244
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: if McCarthy wants this team outside and getting the full

245
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: reps that they're gonna want, they're gonna have to start

246
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: that practice early before the sun gets too hot and

247
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: beating down on them. Then I think they'll be able

248
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: to do that because it's not too entirely too hot

249
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: when you're going at like seven or eight in the morning.

250
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: Go ahead there, and remember these guys, these guys haven't

251
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: been practicing football since Actually they're missing out OTAs in

252
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: mini camps, so once they hit training camp, this would

253
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: be the first time that they're doing real football moves

254
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: in a team environment, so that would be also some

255
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: for them to adjust to as far as being in

256
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: shape and being able to go those practices. Stay with

257
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: me on practice times here because I think that's important

258
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: what you guys are laying out here that the fans

259
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: understand is this heat and also trying to keep these

260
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: guys all the grass versus putting them too much in

261
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 1: the indoor facility here. So seven am, I know a

262
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: lot of times SMU football would go at seven am.

263
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: They would go early and try to beat the heat there.

264
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: It's seven am too early for NFL players to have

265
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: training camp practices, don't I don't think it's it's too early.

266
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: But then you also got to think before practice, you

267
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: always have those meetings, so they're gonna have to do

268
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: some tinkering and switching some things around, because before every

269
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: single practice in training camp and Hank Star, we always

270
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: had our morning meetings and our morning walkthroughs and discussing

271
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: how we're going to attack the day and attack the

272
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: plan with our system and all that stuff. So especially

273
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to get out early in the morning

274
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: for practice, like I said, because of those meeting times

275
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: and those walkings and stuff. So we'll see what they got.

276
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be able to go at seven,

277
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: just because you know, you gotta do all those things

278
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: in the beginning, but they should be able to get

279
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: out there before ten hopefully, or it's gonna be a

280
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: slaughtering practice. Yeah, just to kind of just to kind

281
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: of break down the day of a of a in

282
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: the training camp is usually you would wake up, you

283
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: eat breakfast, you will watch some of the film for

284
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: special teams that you were gonna go out and practice on.

285
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: You will watch some of the film from defensive offense

286
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: that you would go practice on. Then you would go

287
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: walk through, then you would come back for lunch, and

288
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: then you will go back out there to actually full

289
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: speed practice these things. So like starting at seven o'clock,

290
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: they mean you would have to have breakfast at five

291
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: thirty six, six o'clock in the morning, and then you

292
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to watch film on this stuff. So

293
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: you would have to watch this stuff the night before,

294
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: and that would take away from you being able to

295
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: review the film that you actually practiced on because after

296
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: the practice on a normal day, you would go back

297
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: in and watch what you just practice and correct those

298
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: mistakes as well. So it'll be a lot of tinker

299
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: and to get a practice done at seven am in

300
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: the morning. At this point in time, we don't know

301
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: if there will be any OTAs or any mini camps.

302
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: And one thing, we know, you're running out of time

303
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: because normally you get these things done in early June

304
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: and then you basically had the whole month off, reconvene

305
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: for a training camp in July, and then you get

306
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: going there. So this is going to be interesting that

307
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: if there's no OTAs and no mini camps and you

308
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: start camp right away, and if the Cowboys get extra

309
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: time to start in the training camp because the two things. One,

310
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: they are scheduled to play in the Hall of Fame

311
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: Game August six, and with a new head coach, they've

312
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: normally opened up camps earlier, so new head coaches can

313
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: get their programs going here. So this is going to

314
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how the NFL lays out its

315
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: rules and how it affects the Cowboys, and if the

316
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys put out a disadvantage in yeah, that Hall of

317
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: Fame game is very tricky this year because usually is

318
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: used as as one of those extra like extra times

319
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: you get to go practice a week early, and this

320
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: one is like you get to go practice a week early.

321
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: With you you're still playing catch up, trying to get

322
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: in shape and getting football shaped with these guys. So

323
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: the risk of injury and the risk of players going

324
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: out there and having minor tweaks to hamstrings and those

325
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: muscles that to keep you out for four to five

326
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: weeks are increased with having to play in this Hall

327
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: of Fame game. I will say this, I think the

328
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game might be one of the ugliest games,

329
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: but we've never seen no. OTA's got a new system

330
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: going in offensively and defensively, and then you gotta get

331
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: football shaped, and now it's gonna be one of the

332
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: ugliest games. I won't say with rookies and guys have

333
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: never played in the league before. It's yes, it's gonna be.

334
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be something to watch. Okay. So so these

335
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: are things that as Cowboy fans out there, this is

336
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: what you want to be paying attention to see exactly

337
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: what directors have come from the league. Because I've been

338
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: asking these questions and the things I keep getting back

339
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: from talking to people over if in Frisco. The star

340
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: of World Headquarters is hey, we don't know, we don't know. Um.

341
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott of Texas says that, okay, fifty percent

342
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: capacity right now for sporting events. So right now, if

343
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: you're a Cowboy fan and you have season tickets, and

344
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a fifty percent capacity. So here's my question, Church,

345
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: who the fifty percent of people to get in and

346
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: who gets put out? I mean, that's the that's the

347
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar question right there. I mean, because

348
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: if you think it's fifty percent including the media presidents,

349
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: there's fifty percent including you know, celebrities that just want

350
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: to randomly pop up for one or two games here

351
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: and there. So or is it fifty percent just season

352
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: ticket holders and just fans that buy tickets. I mean,

353
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely some tinkering that they're gonna have to

354
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: do there, because I'm you know, the Cowboys that they're

355
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: American's team. They they're marquee franchise. People are gonna want

356
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: to come and catch a game or two here. So

357
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: the thing is, do you kick out those season ticket

358
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: holders for a game or two, or do you tell them, hey,

359
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: the celebrities you better watching on TV? I don't you know,

360
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. So we'll have to figure out what's

361
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: going on because we got to figure out what the

362
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: fifty percent entails is that media and fans, just fans

363
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: will have to see. Don't don't don't forget about the

364
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: player of families because there's gonna be a lot of

365
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: people trying to go. There's a lot of tickets allocated

366
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: to those players. So so like what Jerry say, the

367
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: pie is a lot of pie, it's not that much

368
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: pie when you got to the center of the stadium. Uh,

369
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: that's being able to be filled. We'll go ahead and

370
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: we go ahead. That's you gonna say, Barry, the media

371
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: doesn't really count when they when they're when they're counting

372
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: those numbers, they don't care about the media. And a

373
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of places right now the media

374
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: is being shut out. So I wouldn't even think of

375
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: the media in terms of this. This is just talking

376
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: about the fans and being able to fill up your stadium.

377
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: And let me throw this caveat out here as well.

378
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: So this is what Greg the Governor, Greg Abbott said

379
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: this week, so this is early June, by the time

380
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: we get to you know, the second second week of

381
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: the NFL season in September, it might be at one

382
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: hundred percent. You know, the Cowboys. I'll be able to

383
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: do that, But right now it's fifty percent. And it's

384
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: definitely some questions you'd have to ask to me. I

385
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: would be asking that question from a Cowboys season ticket home.

386
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: Hey am I getting in you know, how does this go?

387
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: And right now I'm told there's just no answers right now,

388
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: So we'll sit. We know it is no answers. I

389
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: just saw sixty thousand people marching down the freeway in

390
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: Frisco if half of them didn't have mask on. So

391
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: so we'll see if this still stands at fifty percent

392
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: by the time we get the second week of the season.

393
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: All right. So that's that's the pressing Cowboys news with

394
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 1: what's going on with the team. He wanted to hit

395
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: you with that. We've got to get into these quarterbacks,

396
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott Drew Brees's apology Vic Fangio saying there's no

397
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: racism in the NFL. The Broncos head coach and then

398
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: coming walking it back. We got a lot to talk

399
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: about here, and we'll do it on the players Lounge

00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: We do it every Friday at eleven am Central time.

467
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott went to social media today put out tomato

468
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: but this week had a long Instagram post and Dak

469
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: Prescott is pledging one million dollars towards UM to improve

470
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: police training and address systematic racism through advocacy and education

471
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: in our country. That's exactly what his quotes were there.

472
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: So some people have been questioning because Andy Dalton had

473
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: came out with a statement, where's Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott

474
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: came out with a statement and he brought a check

475
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: with him, Danny, your thoughts, I think it's I think

476
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: it's great. Um, he's putting his money where his mouth is,

477
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: to where he thinks that his money will make the

478
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: most difference. And my only thing is I hate when

479
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: I see the comments of these people questioning that where

480
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: this man puts his money. Yet this guy I put

481
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: a million dollars up for something that he believes in,

482
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: that he believes can help us as in the black

483
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: community with this racism and helping these police get off

484
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: our neck. And this guy, it's people in this comments

485
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: saying why would you give this to the police. It's

486
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: a million dollars of his money. He got the right

487
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: to put it wherever you want to. You put your

488
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: money where you think it can help it. I love

489
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: I love what Dak did. I love the statement that

490
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: he put out and he's showing that he's a true

491
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: leader of the Dallas Cowboys Church. Yeah, I agree with

492
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Mac. I mean, this guy he

493
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: putting his money where his mouth is. He made the

494
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: statement out there, and not only did he make the statement,

495
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: he backed up about putting a million dollars up there.

496
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: And like you said, when you go up to these

497
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: comments sections and see what people were saying, why would

498
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: you give this much money to that? And you know

499
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: what have they give them? You know what I say,

500
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: what have they given to the cause or anything like this?

501
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: So it's just how can you how can you you know,

502
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: how can you basically criticize somebody for trying to putting

503
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: their money where they believe will help the cause. I mean,

504
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: he thinking help this cause, and for him to do that,

505
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it shows amazing. And he's that's why he's

506
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: a leader. That's why he did leader since his rookie year,

507
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: because he backs up what he's able to say. And hey,

508
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: I just think it was a great cause by him.

509
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: And you know, there a lot of people out there

510
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: gonna hate, so I'll just let him maybe. Dak Prescott

511
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,239
Speaker 1: also spoke about in dealing with the loss of his

512
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: brother and what he's gone through, and he spoke about

513
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: George Floyd and understanding and knowing that he could be

514
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: George Floyd in that instance, and so as he decided

515
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: to think about what can I do, he decided he

516
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: wanted to put a million dollars And I want to

517
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: read once again what he said to improve our police

518
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: training and address systematic racism through advocacy and education in

519
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: our country. That is what Dak Prescott is saying, that

520
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: we have an issue. Maybe it's more training for the police,

521
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: more sened whatever it is to help yet the police

522
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: and policing that we're seeing here black people better because

523
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: right now, nobody can sit up here and tell me

524
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: it's good. It's got problems, and you can't just say

525
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a couple of bad apples. No, there's

526
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: a huge problem. Dak Prescott is putting his money to say,

527
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: how can I help and how can we make this better?

528
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: For the people criticizing. I get it because that's what

529
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: people do, especially social media, you know. But at the

530
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: same time, I'm not gonna beat up a man who

531
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: is at least coming to the table with what he

532
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: feels can be a solution. Mccraiger had. Yeah. See, And

533
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: this is what also happens when when you have guys

534
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: that make us substantial amount of money, when they say

535
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: it's a million dollars, it's like, oh, well it's not

536
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: that much because he's making this much or he has

537
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: that much. A million dollars is a million dollars. This

538
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: guy is putting it towards something, so you know he

539
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: actually cares about it. And if you want to judge

540
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, you can just look on the opposite side

541
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: over there in New Orleans and see what the response

542
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: was from their quarterback and give you a greater appreciation

543
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: for who we have here in Dallas. Drew Breeds definitely

544
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: has no no church, go ahead. I almost I'm sorry,

545
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: I stepped on you. Go ahead church. Oh no, no, no,

546
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: You're fine. I was just saying that I agree with

547
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: where he put that money as well, because I feel

548
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: like if we put more money into the education of

549
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: police officers and when they're going through this training to

550
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: sensitize them on how to, you know, approach and talk

551
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: to different ethnicities out there, I think that'll go huge

552
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: and huge and huge long way as we're trying to

553
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: get better at this police brutality rate. The video I

554
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: saw in Van Eys, California was one that really did

555
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: upset me. I lived in California and I in Van

556
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,479
Speaker 1: Eys is a place that I spent a whole lot

557
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: of time out. I lived in a town called Sherman Oaks,

558
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: and Vaneys was next to it. And it said it

559
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: was going to van eyes all the time. So there's

560
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: video and they're showing this live on one are the

561
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: local stations in LA. There are people who are store owners.

562
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: They're trying to flag down the police, and they're black.

563
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: They're trying to flag them down, so the police actually

564
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: turn around. They finally come over there, and the police

565
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: with their guns end up putting the black owners who

566
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: are trying to flag the police up against the wall

567
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: and handcuff them. And the reporter is sitting here saying, no, no,

568
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: they're not the looters. It's not them. But still those

569
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: volts are handcuffed up against the wall. And those are

570
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: some of the things that upset you and you just

571
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: say to yourself as a black person, I'm a law

572
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: abiding citizen, I own a store. I want the police

573
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: to help me, and this is what happens to me.

574
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: Those are the things that make black people shout. And

575
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: if Dak Prescott's money can go to help best type

576
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: of training where we could sit around here and say, well,

577
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: you know what, let's think differently about how we approach

578
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: some of these situations, then don't go on it. I'm

579
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: all for because I would be upset as heck if

580
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: I were those store those store owners who were looking

581
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: for the help, and the next thing, you know, you

582
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: throw me up against the wall and I got to

583
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: prove to you that I'm not a looter and that

584
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm innicent. That's tough, man, it is very tough, and

585
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it goes back to the example

586
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: I think you put in last week where you were

587
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: at the restaurant and you said you had paid for it,

588
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: and you walked away, and they tried to make it

589
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: seem like you didn't pay for it or anything like that.

590
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: Like imagine if the if a coup was there and

591
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: it was a he said, Sea said, and you're just

592
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: automatically thrown up against the warm handcuff just because you're black.

593
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's a tough thing that it's

594
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: a tough hill to swallow. Man, it's it is heartbreaking. Well, Church,

595
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: I go back to that the lesson that I had

596
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: had taken from that um. Well, luckily I paid with

597
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: my credit card, so you know, there was a receipt

598
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: that they had at the store. But it was one

599
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: of those times I did not take the receipt with me.

600
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: So I walked the waitress back when she which because

601
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: it happened at the Farmer's Market in Dallas, at this

602
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: seafood restaurant, and I ended up walking down and I

603
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: would say that I think it was a soap store

604
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: where the lady came and tried to accuse me of

605
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: not paying. So we walked back to this seafood place

606
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: and the guy who was working the bar, you know,

607
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: I went right to him, I paid you. She's trying

608
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: to say I didn't pay, and he said, yeah, you paid,

609
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: And I said, you know, to the waitress, I say,

610
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: you were waiting on a whole lot of people. He

611
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: was doing half your job. And I was like, but

612
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 1: I paid. Not only do I pay, I tipt you.

613
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: And so I talked to my fifteen year old my

614
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: thirteen year old daughter, and they like to just take

615
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: their bikes and go up to this store by the house.

616
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: And I have drilled into them because they just buy

617
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: little small things. You make sure you get a receipt

618
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: every time. If it's offered, you take it. I said,

619
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: because if somebody tries to say you took something, you

620
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: need to be able to provide some type of proof.

621
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: It's Soberne. But this is one of the parts of

622
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: being black here in America where you know you have

623
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: to sit around here and teach your kids that you

624
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: have to be on high alert. And that's some of

625
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: the messaging that certain people are finding out this week

626
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: when they have conversations, and many NFL players and many

627
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: athletes are helping lead the conversation where we show people

628
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: who aren't black what people who are black and brown

629
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: and you know, Latinos, a lot of people go through

630
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: um that where you're profile and it's it's tough, but

631
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: this is what we live with. And I have to

632
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: tell my two kids, like two girls, you have to

633
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: be on alert and make sure you're ready in case

634
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: somebody says you didn't pay for some Yeah, it's just

635
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: even growing up. I know, me and my family members

636
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: of a lot of people that I know when you

637
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: walk in the store, you don't have your hands in

638
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: your pockets. Make sure when you're in the store your

639
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: hands are out of your pockets because if they're in there,

640
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: and then it'll automatically be assumed that you are in

641
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: there taking something that doesn't belong to you. That's that's

642
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: another part of that and keeping your receipt, to make

643
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: sure it's like training to go in the store, to

644
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: make sure that you're not seen as as this horrible

645
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: thief that's that's going in here just to take something

646
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: and not pay for it. Oh, you're you're right. So, Danny,

647
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned Drew Brick, so let's go right into that.

648
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, longtime quarterback with the New Orleans Saints, a

649
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: hero in New Orleans, Okay, a hero for his work

650
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: during Hurricane Katrina and helping rebuild the city for winning

651
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. He went on a financial network and

652
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: said he will never just make sure I get this right.

653
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: He says, quote, I'll never agree with anybody who disrespects

654
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: the flag of the United States. And after he said that,

655
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 1: the video came out. He just basically got dragged by

656
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: his own teammates and dragged throughout the sporting world, sporting landscape.

657
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: So Drew took a whole lot. And then the next

658
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: morning he ends up with a social media post and

659
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: then later came out with an apology as well. There, Drew,

660
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: and I want to make sure I said it get

661
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: this correctly, he says, I am your ally, and that's

662
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a very interesting New Orleans Saints locker room.

663
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: So I want to ask you, guys, Danny and Bear,

664
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: you are former players, how will this situation in New

665
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: Orleans goal? Because we saw how passionate Malcolm Jenkins was

666
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: and we heard from Cam Jordan. You heard guys who

667
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: were upset. Then Michael Thomas later I said he accepted

668
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: Drew Brees's apology. These guys aren't allowed to be together.

669
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: So McCray, I'll start with you first. How does Drew

670
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 1: Brees addressed this in his own locker room. I mean,

671
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: he did the best that he could at this point.

672
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you said what you said, and the guys

673
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: are gonna look at you in whichever way that they feel.

674
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: And as much as guys say, hey man, I forgive

675
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: the guy he said something wrong and all that stuff,

676
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: every time you look at Drew Brees me, well, me personally,

677
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: I would see him as the guy who said that

678
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: in the same guy who said what he said four

679
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: years ago when this initially took place and it wasn't

680
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: about the flag, and he was the same guy saying

681
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: the same thing he said a few days ago. So

682
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you the same way. So now when

683
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: you're giving up these speeches and you're giving these talks

684
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: and these team meetings. You know, I'm looking at you

685
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: that way, not as not as the leader that I

686
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: thought you were, as as as my quarterback. And that's it.

687
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: So I think it would be tough for him. But

688
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: basically he could do is move forward and and and

689
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: try to help as much as he can. But it

690
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: was a good start with the apology, but not It's

691
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: up to everybody else to take it how they want,

692
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: and I would take it that way. He's now, he's

693
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: just he's just Drew Brees and he's my quarterbat. He

694
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: had thrown me the ball. But as far as being

695
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: the leader that I thought he was, he's not that guy. Yeah.

696
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: For me, this is a this is a pretty much

697
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: a sticky situation, man, because I mean this is a

698
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: guy who is, you know, all family. He was unbelievably

699
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: respected in his locker room and throughout the League's kind

700
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: of like a Jason Whitney to Art in our locker room.

701
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: He was just kind of that respected kind of coach

702
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: player who could you know, could do no wrong. So

703
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: we didn't make this statement right here. It took over

704
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: how to damage I think I'm not quite sure. I

705
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: think we'll have to do a lot of work because,

706
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: like mccraie said, I mean, as a player, you look

707
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: up to this guy, you respect him so much. He's

708
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: and he backs up what he says on the field,

709
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: so he's like, man, this guy's so so highly respected,

710
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 1: and then when he says something like that that it's

711
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: and you can't really give him the benefit of the

712
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: doubt because he's he's a he's a veteran, and he's

713
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: an extremely extremely intelligent person, so he knows what In

714
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: my opinion, I feel like he knows. He knows what

715
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: the stand was for the flag with Lose Church and

716
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 1: what he was doing back a couple of years ago,

717
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: and he just kind of, you know, kind of dismissing it.

718
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: Still kind of felt like it was disrespecting the flag

719
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: when it had nothing to do with the flag. So

720
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: I feel like he's an extremely intelligent person. He should

721
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: understand that. And I think he's gonna have to do

722
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot of work to get that

723
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: locker room, to get that respect level that he had

724
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 1: once before, because now, like mccraiye said, people were gonna

725
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: look at him in a different light. They're gonna look

726
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: at him saying, you know, hey, you're the guy that

727
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: basically said, you know, I'll never disrespect the flag during

728
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: the one of the one of the most tense situations

729
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: in American history. And so it's it's gonna be tough,

730
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: but um, you know, hopefully he'll be able to get

731
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: his reputation back as a leader on that team, but

732
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. The thing about Drew Breese and

733
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: I've said to people, he's forty years forty one years old,

734
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: and at forty one years old, your philosophy on life

735
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: it is pretty much what you are and what you're

736
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: gonna be. And Drew Brees still feels that no matter

737
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: what Nate Boyer spoke about with Colin Kaepernick and what

738
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick has repeatedly said that it wasn't about the flat.

739
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: For Drew Brees, it was still about the flat. So

740
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers comes out and says, you're not listening. Mathel

741
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: Jenkins as him and said you're not listening. So Drew

742
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: Brees now in less than twenty four hours, says he

743
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: gets it. So, Danny, do you feel that you can

744
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: believe that Drew Brees gets it less than twenty four

745
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: hours after the make of the statement, or do you

746
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: think part of it is this, here's a very popular

747
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: man who's a spokesman for a lot of companies, who

748
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: also has already aligned up a job with NBC Sports

749
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: after football. Is it saving his high or is it

750
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: a true belief that he feels his the views are wrong. First,

751
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't buy his apology one because you know, he's

752
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: giving a lot of money back to the city of

753
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans, in the underserved community of New Orleans, which

754
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: is mostly minorities. So he to me, if you're giving

755
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: this much money to these people, then you understand their

756
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: issues and what they're dealing with. And you've been doing

757
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: this for years, right, So I don't see how you

758
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: can say that you you don't get it, or you

759
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: don't understand, or all of a sudden afterwards, you didn't

760
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: know that you were hurting these people by saying that,

761
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: when this is the community that you've been serving for

762
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: this long. So it doesn't make sense to me that

763
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: twenty four hours later, after you get shooed out by

764
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, your receiver and you're running back, all of

765
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, ah, man, I get it. I

766
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: feel you to me, it doesn't fly, and it's not

767
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: going to fly. And then I'm going to see what

768
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: he does when the season starts, when when these guys

769
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: start kneeling and doing whatever they need to do to

770
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: show that they're still sticking together and protesting. What is

771
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: he gonna do when when this question comes back up?

772
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: Is he going to shy away from the answer or

773
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: is he gonna give the same answer or is there

774
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: a different one now where it's like, all right, I

775
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: get it now. Now they're not disrespecting the flag, and

776
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna to kneel with them, and it's still me

777
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: respecting the flag, but it's still but it's me respecting

778
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: what they're doing to show that they stand together and protest. Okay,

779
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: so okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna come back with what

780
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: you just said. Okay, So if New Orleans Saints teammates

781
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: decide they want to take a knee, let's just say

782
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: there's seven guys who decide to do it, and Drew

783
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: Brees takes a stand and stands there with his hand

784
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: on his heart. Is that an issue for you? For me?

785
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: It is for me? It is, but it only is

786
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: from from these on these next few months, what we

787
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: hear from Drew Brees or what he told his teammates,

788
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: which we don't. We don't know what he told them,

789
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: but I would assume that he said, Hey, I understand

790
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: what y'all are going through and I feel it now,

791
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: and after speaking with you guys, I understand why you

792
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: guys are kneeling kneeling during the flag and it's not

793
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: disrespectful to the flag. I get it now. So now

794
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: he should be able to do it. And if you're not,

795
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: then I'm looking at you like you still feel the same.

796
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: But you know, in order for you to be a

797
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: good teammate and a leader, you had to apologize, to

798
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: say what you had to say to fix fix the

799
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: dynamics of the locker room, or else this is gonna

800
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: be a horrible season for you. And we may as

801
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: well get start drafting Jameis Winson and round four a

802
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: Fantasy football can I can I ask you both a question? Room? Good? Good?

803
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: A second? So wasn't it like in twenty seventeen, I

804
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: think there was a picture of him kneeling down there

805
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: with the team. If I'm not, if I'm not incorrect.

806
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 1: So do we think so? And now we know that

807
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: that kneeling was disingenuous because obviously he made these statements

808
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: say he'll never kneel for the flag and all of

809
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: other stuff. So if he does kneel in this upcoming season,

810
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: do we feel it as genuine or do we say, ah,

811
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: you're just trying to, you know, save your skin here.

812
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: What are your gut starts on that? Church? Church, church, church? This?

813
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: This might be an issue, But I think his kneeling

814
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: was the same and at the same meaning as when

815
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: the cat Boys kneeled in Arizona. It was not for

816
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: it was not for the same reason that Colin Kaepernick

817
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: was kneeling. It was to show unity and not protesting

818
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: against police brutality against minorities. It was it was when

819
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: Donald True the president. It was when President Trump had

820
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: come out and and called the players so obs and

821
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: so they were upset about that. And that was done

822
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: before the national anthem, just like the Cowboys. Now they

823
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: did that before the anthem was played. Um, so that

824
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: don't count. So I come back into this, Dan Danny,

825
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: I come back into this. Okay, if players are kneeling

826
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees decides he doesn't want to do it.

827
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: I won't think of Drew Brees is being disingenuous. I

828
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:49,959
Speaker 1: don't because and this is me. I think he can

829
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: stand there, hand on hard during the national anthem, right

830
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: next to someone who's taking a knee, and it not

831
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: be an issue now. And and I'm gonna give you

832
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: just my perspective on this because remember my dad was

833
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: in the you know, in the military. I was born

834
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: on on a base in Germany, and you know, I

835
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: grew up around this all the time. My thirteen year

836
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: old recently asked me, she said, dash, should I stand

837
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: for the flag? I said, yes, you stand for the

838
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: flag because we represent Grandpa. And I said, now, and

839
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: I ran down and said, you know, we got family

840
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: members who fought in every war here. You know, I said,

841
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: my great grandfather fought in World War One. I said,

842
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 1: we helped build this country. And I said, so we stand.

843
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: I said, but understand this, we don't criticize anyone who

844
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: decides to take a knee. I said, if anything, you

845
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: stand next to him. You stand next is that person

846
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: wants to take a knee, you stand next to them,

847
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: even you know what, put your hand on your heart

848
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: and then take your left hand and put it right

849
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: next to the person who's taking a knee. I said,

850
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: but that's us. But we're not going to criticize or

851
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: divide anyone. Let anyone divide us, because there is a

852
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: message that people are trying to stack, and I want

853
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: to make sure that those people have that message and

854
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: so feel comfortable to know that, Hey, I got you,

855
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: I got you. But I do think there's different ways

856
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: to do it. So for me, if Drew doesn't like that,

857
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: I won't criticize him in that fashion. But that's just me.

858
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about. But but but newly, and

859
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: the thing that can save him and let him be

860
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: able to do that is if he comes out and

861
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: says that kneeling is not disrespectful to the to the flag.

862
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: If he doesn't come out and say that, yeah, if

863
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: he doesn't say that right then he can he can't

864
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: go with the same the same reason is that you

865
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: have because I mean, he still feels like the person

866
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: that's taking the knee is disrespecting the flag and he's

867
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: doing the opposite. This is true. No, you're your point,

868
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: Your point is I see I see your point. I

869
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: see your point. And that's this is why we have

870
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: the discussion. And as Drew Brees says he wants to

871
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: be an ally, it's going to be something. It'll be

872
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: interesting over time to see to see Jack and how

873
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: he becomes that ally. I also want to address the

874
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: money aspect you because something I've seen a lot of

875
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: people who wanted to defend Drew Brees and say, look,

876
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: he just recently gave five million dollars and he's given

877
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: millions of dollars to the city of New Orleans over

878
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: the age. I respect Drew Brees for doing that. I do,

879
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: but understand how people give money. There are a lot

880
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 1: of people who give money and at different ways. For instance,

881
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: when I lived in Los Angeles, Donald Sterling gave a

882
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: lot of money to a lot of black organizations, okay

883
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: a lot. Donald Sterling would take out ads about how

884
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: he was an NAACP Man of the Year. I mean,

885
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: and he would be. But he wrote a lot of checks.

886
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: But we now see and even then we knew who

887
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: Donald Sterling was. You guys had told me to watch

888
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Epstein video, and when that man came out

889
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: of jail, what was surprised me was how many how

890
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: many fifteen million dollars in like fourteen million dollars he wrote.

891
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: So and I'm not trying to say Drew Brees is

892
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: a racist like Donald Sterling or he's like Jeffrey I'm

893
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: not trying to say. But what I am trying to

894
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: say just to point out that, you know what, just

895
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: because you write a check that make you a good person.

896
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: You know, people write chexs for a lot of different reasons. Okay,

897
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: a lot of different reasons people give money. So understand,

898
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: just because someone writes a check doesn't mean they're all

899
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: pure of heart. People have motives into writing checks. Some

900
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: people just need to dog on a tax break. Some

901
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: people want good pr There's a lot of things that

902
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: are there. So just to say somebody wrote a check,

903
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: they're all good. Not necessarily. There are a lot of

904
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: people who are guilted into writing checks. Oh I did something, man,

905
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: I knew one person who ended up with domestic and

906
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: a domestic violence dispute. I want to say who was

907
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: but and you know what they did. They ended up

908
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: writing a check to the police. That was their way

909
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: of trying to build themselves up. And then this person

910
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: you know, decided to do more things along that. So

911
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: people do two things. Man, they do things out of

912
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: inspiration and desperation. So so just the whole money thing

913
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: is it? You know, that's the things you have to

914
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: ask yourself sometimes what's the reasoning behind the money and

915
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: does the money make it good? Even Ross gave a

916
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: whole lot of money recently the Mini Dolphins on it

917
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: and then what happened The players said't wait a minute,

918
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: you're getting these money from these causes and then its

919
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: own players set but you're also giving money to the president.

920
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: So they had issues with that. They had issues. So

921
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. What I just say about money

922
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: is it's dead. Deeper into it and actually find out,

923
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: no truly at times, what are the motives and dig

924
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: behind it. So there I sat by peace on it. Well, well,

925
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: like I said, one doesn't affect the other. You can

926
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: you can help a city that's going through they went

927
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: through a hurricane and had all these issues to where

928
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: they really needed some help and then still be a

929
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: different person on the other side. You can have some

930
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: empathy for one and then not have empathy for another.

931
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: That's possible. So giving money to one cause it doesn't

932
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: save you from from not standing up for another one

933
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: or are really standing on another one by saying that

934
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: it's disrespectful one for four years and now people have

935
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: been saying that is not it, bro, Are you still

936
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: not listening? They've been saying this for years. Okay, The

937
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: Players Coalition came out with a video. Eighteen players have

938
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: taken part of that video, and I sent it to

939
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: you guys early, say Ezekiel Elliott is one of the

940
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: eighteen people in the video. Your thoughts. So what we

941
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: saw as players are speaking out here about George Floyd. Um, yeah,

942
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: I thought I thought it was a great I thought

943
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 1: it was a great presentation. How they all got together

944
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: and kind of voiced their opinions as NFL players, um,

945
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: and kind of put the NFL on on spotlight here saying, Hey,

946
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 1: we as players, we're backing this George Floyd. We're backing

947
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,439
Speaker 1: this police brutality. And you know a couple of years ago,

948
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: when Cap tried to bring it to like peacefully, you

949
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: guys shunned him, and you guys kind of blackballed him

950
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: out of the league. So I think they're just putting

951
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: an NFL here on notice. And I thought it was

952
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: I thought it was a great um statement that all

953
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: those players got together and made as a players association.

954
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: I think it was super dope that if you talk

955
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: about accountability, because the NFL has been putting out these

956
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: little symbols for our commitment and all this other stuff,

957
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: but not really saying much. And the players got together

958
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: like they should have done. I mean, I commended them

959
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 1: for doing it now, but had this been twenty sixteen

960
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: and they came out and said, hey, we the players

961
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: want to speak on behalf of the NFL and this

962
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: is how we feel, and we want you to say,

963
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: on behalf of the NFL, we were wrong for doing this.

964
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: We stand up for this. This is wrong, this is right,

965
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: and they forced in the hands. So now we just

966
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: wait to see if the NFL response or if they

967
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: just try to let it go by the wayside. But

968
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: we're finally seeing some instance of you know, big time

969
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 1: players who have these names like standing up and sticking

970
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: together and unifying and calling NFL out. Well, Davante Adams

971
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: is what we're finally seeing. It's kind of like how

972
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: the players are kind of trying to take control of

973
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: the league like we see in the NBA. We see

974
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: the little bron James Is and the Chris Pauls and

975
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: the NBA has run by the players, And I think

976
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: what we're seeing here is the NFL and the players

977
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: that are involving out the just trying to take a standards,

978
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: trying to get some of that league back and get

979
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: the to get the power back. I mean, it is

980
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: run by the players in these to be like that.

981
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: So that's just my thoughts on it. The players in

982
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: this video DeVante Adams, Jamal Davante Adam, Jamal Adams, Saquon Barkley,

983
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: Anthony barr, Odell Beckham, Juice in eighteen sixty five. Stetson

984
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: hats are American maid with Pride right here in Texas

985
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: and Stetson Tyron Matthew, Patrick Peterson, Sterling Shepherd, Michael Thomas,

986
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, and Chase Young. And it starts out with

987
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: Thomas saying it's been ten days since George George Floyd

988
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: was brutally murdered. Then Tyron Matthew says, how many times

989
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: do we need to ask you to listen to our players?

990
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: And then Hopkins says, what will it take? Jarvis Landry

991
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: comes up next and says for one of us to

992
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: be murdered by police brutality, and then multiple players take

993
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: turn saying what if I was George Floyd. Then the

994
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: players continue, I am George Floyd. I am Brianna Taylor.

995
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: I am a Mark Aubrey. I'm Eric Garner. I am

996
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: Lakwa McDonald. I am Tamia Rice. I am Trayvon Martin,

997
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm Walter Scott, I am Michael Brown Junior. I am

998
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: Samuel Debos, I am Frank Smart, I am Philip Right,

999
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: I am Jordan Baker. And then they go on to

1000
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: say we will not be silenced. We assert our right

1001
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: to peacefully protest. And it shouldn't take this long to admit.

1002
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: So on behalf of the National Football League. This is

1003
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: what we are, the players. We would like to hear

1004
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: your state. We the National Football League, condemn racism, systematic

1005
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: oppression of black people. We the National Football League, admit

1006
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: wrong and silencing our players from peacefully protesting. We the

1007
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: National Football League, believe black lives matter. So it's a

1008
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,280
Speaker 1: powerful video, very powerful video, and what the players were saying.

1009
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: Then give the players a lot of credit. We've got

1050
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,479
Speaker 1: Luis Scrugs at Cowboy Reporter, joined by a former Dallas

1051
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys players, Danny McCray and Barry Church. Here all right,

1052
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:07,919
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick has been added to the reserve retired list,

1053
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: so the Cowboys have they waited to do it. They're

1054
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: gonna split up his cap number. So, um, this is

1055
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna free up seven million dollars for the Cowboys this year.

1056
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: So they'll take a hit this year, and then next

1057
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: year in twenty twenty one, they'll take a little over

1058
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: six million dollars. So, gentlemen, your thoughts on the Cowboys

1059
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: deciding not to take the whole hit on Travis Frederick

1060
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: and go ahead and try to split it up over

1061
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: the next two seasons and getting seven million dollars in

1062
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 1: cap relief right away. This might be good for you, nui.

1063
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: They might be saving a little money to get this

1064
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: deg deal done. I mean I think it's smart. I mean,

1065
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 1: that's a big hit to take all in one season,

1066
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: so I think it's smarter than them to save up

1067
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: some money. So they just in case they need to

1068
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 1: get a few more players signed they have have that

1069
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: money available to get that done. So I think I

1070
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 1: think this is a no brainer. Yeah, i'd agree. I

1071
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 1: think it's a smart move. But I had a question

1072
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: to ask. So let's just you know, just just say,

1073
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, the fans aren't at fifty percent, They're at

1074
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: like twenty five percent for the whole season, and that

1075
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: takes a hit for the for the owners and all

1076
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: that stuff as far as money wise, if they don't

1077
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: take so if they take, well that hit next year,

1078
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: I'm not being there and all that artest as well.

1079
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 1: You're asking a good question. A truly, at this point

1080
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: in time, no one can answer because we don't know

1081
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. I mean, if the NFL is

1082
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: able to play all their games this year, and we've

1083
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: seen the revenues go up every single year, then they

1084
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: may be okay. But it's going to be interesting because

1085
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: what do we know right now? We know that different

1086
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 1: states are operating at different capacity. So if California is

1087
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: not going to allow UM teams to play with fans,

1088
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be something that affects, you know, the money

1089
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: that comes in and how do you judge it for

1090
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: the rams and the forty nine Ers and even the

1091
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 1: Chargers versus if the Cowboys are allowed to go ahead

1092
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: and have fans in there, the Steelers are allowed to

1093
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: have them at you know, fifty percent capacity or seventy

1094
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: five percent or even a hundred percent capacity. So we

1095
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: just don't know how to affect next year's salary cap.

1096
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: And that's it's it's just so many unknowns of what's

1097
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: going to happen with the National Football League. Man it is,

1098
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 1: but I'd say this, you'd probably air on the side

1099
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: of maybe maybe the cap doesn't go up. I mean,

1100
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: you'd you'd be crazy not to factor that in that

1101
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 1: the cap could possibly not go up next year. So

1102
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: would you rather say that's might hit this year or

1103
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: would you rather take, you know, happy to hit this

1104
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: year and happy to hit next year on Frederick's knowing

1105
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: that the salary cap might not go up. Well, I

1106
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: think this is the way the Cowboys are pretty much

1107
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: operated in the past. It's just knowing that, hey, look

1108
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna spread it out. I mean, that's what they

1109
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: did with dads. That's what they did when they you know,

1110
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: when they let Tony Roma go, they spread it. They

1111
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 1: spread this thing out, and one reason I'm spreading it

1112
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: as Okay, if the cap goes up, all right, So

1113
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: if the cat, let's just say the cat went up

1114
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: ten million bucks, all right, boom, got traps. Frederick's six

1115
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,919
Speaker 1: million bucks right here and then so that that's kind

1116
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: of how how they've operated in the past versus putting

1117
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: it all right here and Danny Danny is corrected. You

1118
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: know this may help, uh, Dak Prescott, you know, get

1119
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: get get his deal done and days we'll have to

1120
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: pay me up. That will be signing a long term deal. Okay,

1121
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: Dak is going to get a long term deal done.

1122
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: So I definitely feel that another speaking into existence, speaking

1123
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,720
Speaker 1: it to existence, and we know you're speaking it to existence.

1124
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: How about I just go ahead and look historically that

1125
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: the Joneses have always gotten the mannor oh man, here

1126
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: we go, here we go, listen, listen, listen, hey, Church, Church, Church,

1127
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: tell them this as we've seen twenty twenty has been

1128
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: unprecedent in the year for stuff, all right, So it

1129
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if some some weird happens with this contract,

1130
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: which like it not being signed and Dak Blann on

1131
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: the franchise tad. So let's see twenty twenty is throwing

1132
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: a lot of curveballs at us. So I will be

1133
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: a fool not to expect another one one of the

1134
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: topics you guys wanted to bring up here, Danny, you

1135
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: were you were not happy with Vic Fangil, the Denver

1136
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: Head coach who came out and said he didn't see racism,

1137
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: that the NFL was a meritocracy. Tony Dungee came out

1138
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: and said he didn't feel that way. In the next day,

1139
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 1: Vic Fangil said he talked to players and other people

1140
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: and said that he was he was wrong in his college.

1141
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: And then Pete Carroll comes out and that Pete Carroll

1142
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: trying to hug up on Kylin Kapepernick, the same guy

1143
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: he did end up, uh, you know, considering a sign

1144
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: and decided not to sign him the back of Russell Wilson.

1145
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: So I'll go ahead and let you have a floor

1146
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 1: on those two. Vic Fangio and Drew Brees, these two guys,

1147
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: I just don't get it any the apologies that they

1148
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: that they put out afterwards. And you say, man, I

1149
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: talked to some people and now I know this has

1150
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: been going on, like this was brought to your attention,

1151
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: like I've been going on for a long time, but

1152
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen it was brought to your attention. You didn't

1153
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: know anything about it since then. And it took you

1154
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 1: that one conversation with the players Jewel y'all after that

1155
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 1: to realize that racism exists in the NFL, like this

1156
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: is crazy. And then I heard people talking, we've all

1157
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: been in the locker room, Church, You've been in there,

1158
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: and we talk about you know, as a team, the

1159
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 1: locker room is one. But if you do look at

1160
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: the split up of players and where players sitting there,

1161
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: and what the old line is made made up of.

1162
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: Mostly most of the time you see those are white

1163
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,439
Speaker 1: guys most of the time. You see dvs that black

1164
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: guys most of the time. All these positions are like that.

1165
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,439
Speaker 1: And then when you sit in the locker room, those

1166
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: who are hanging out with each other. So if you,

1167
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: if you're a coach, you sit there and you watch it,

1168
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: you say, all right, well, at least say it's possible

1169
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: this dude been in here for thirty some years and

1170
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: say he doesn't see it at all and never seen it.

1171
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: That's absolutely nuts to me. And Pete Carroll, Yeah, all right,

1172
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: you know you said, we ol Collin Kaeperniggle. We'll see

1173
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: if you put any money behind that in this upcoming season. Yeah,

1174
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: I Vic Banjo. I mean, I just don't understand it

1175
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: for you to be in the NFL that long and

1176
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: say you don't see any racism any at all. I

1177
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: mean you could have said I see some or look

1178
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: any at all. Years ago. You know, they didn't let

1179
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: Blacks play the quarterback position because they didn't think they

1180
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: had the mental aspect to handle that position on the field.

1181
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: Until you know, Dub Williams came along all that good stuff,

1182
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: but he was around for that. And then you know,

1183
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, you got Lamar Jackson. Maybe

1184
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: we should switch him to the wide receiver or or

1185
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: running back because he's athletic and he can do this.

1186
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you got you got the Ruoney

1187
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: rule coming nothing. Now they even incentivize the Rooney Rule

1188
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: to get more black people in there. So for him

1189
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: to say he just hasn't seen any any type of

1190
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: racism at all, it's just that's just being I don't

1191
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: even know. That's just why it exists. It exists everywhere,

1192
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,919
Speaker 1: and anybody who doesn't see it doesn't want to see

1193
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: it or are they blind? I don't know, I really

1194
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't. There's no excuse for you not to know.

1195
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: Especially let me tell you so after the events that

1196
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: have been going on this week. If moving forward, for

1197
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: somebody to say that they don't see it, it's it's

1198
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: it's a lie. Oh yeah, I mean a lot, a

1199
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: lot of true colors are being being brought to light here,

1200
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: a lot of true colors. Now he's capinitely getting the

1201
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: job this year. Uh No, I don't think he is.

1202
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean if you used to

1203
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: see right now at eleven fifty eight. Uh, you're asking

1204
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: me yet, No, I don't. I don't see Colin Kaepernick

1205
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: getting a job. Um, well, okay, all right. That there

1206
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: was a settlement between him and a settlement between the

1207
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: National Football League, and I think they probably just gonna

1208
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: go let that ride right there. But there's plenty of

1209
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: owners who haven't said a single thing about what's happened

1210
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: here with Lloyd situation, and that even happens right here

1211
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: with with Jerry Jones. He hasn't said anything so and

1212
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: there's several general manager haven't said anything. So. While there's

1213
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: been a lot of people who have said something. You know,

1214
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: Chris bowed the GM of the Coats came out with

1215
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: a strong statement and referred from Rogers Matt Ryan, you

1216
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: heard for white quarterback up and you can hear from

1217
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: last time ran Yeah, you heard form shot con But

1218
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, uh, I just I don't know. I mean, he, dude,

1219
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Cam Cam Newton don't have a job right now, So

1220
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, just so you know, if you're

1221
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: asking me that, are we gonna see Cap get a

1222
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: job before war? Cam? Um? No, No, the first of all,

1223
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: Calm's not gonna be a backup. Cap. Cap will be

1224
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: a backup. Okay, Cam is gonna be a Cam is

1225
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a starter. No, I don't know, I mean

1226
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: right no, but this no, No, I don't I don't

1227
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: think so. I don't think he's gonna get a signed

1228
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: right now. I don't think because I don't think so,

1229
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, I mean, we

1230
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: can't force these owners to put him on a team,

1231
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're willing to put him on

1232
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: a team. So I don't think he'll have a job

1233
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: And for any of the forceivable future, as far as

1234
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: the NFL is consigned. If that, if that video works

1235
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: that those players put out, then I could see him

1236
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: getting a job because that would entail the NFL admitting

1237
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: that they were wrong and silenzing him in the first place.

1238
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: So I think they go, they go hand to hand.

1239
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: But I do hope. I hope he gets something out

1240
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: of this because it is blatantly clear nouns, especially that

1241
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: he was absolutely right. Okay, so do you liking this?

1242
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: Do you liking this to the Michael Sam situation where

1243
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: here's a guy who came out and before the draft

1244
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: said he was gay, and it gets into the end

1245
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: of the I mean, we're looking here at the end

1246
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: of the draft and nobody's taken him, and here the

1247
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 1: Rams with several picks in the final round, a team

1248
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: loaded defensive line, and they end up drafting him, and

1249
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: there were people saying, well, they took one for the league.

1250
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: And then he doesn't make the Rams, and then the

1251
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,919
Speaker 1: Cowboys pick him up and he was on the practice squad,

1252
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: he was let go and then we never heard from

1253
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: Michael Sam again. So you try to say, he could

1254
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: be one of those situations somebody says, all right, but

1255
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: we'll sign Okay, absolutely not, because they weren't gonna lose

1256
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: any money from endorsements or anything or sponsorships by signing

1257
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 1: Michael Sam. This is one of the big issues that

1258
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: that goes with Kylin Kappa, is are they willing to

1259
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: take a financial hit, especially in the past because it

1260
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: was looked at totally different. Now that the tide is changing,

1261
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: I think it's more possible because it'd be more acceptable

1262
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: for guys, especially the stuff that you see in in

1263
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 1: the streets. More people are standing with Kaepernick and the

1264
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: causes that he protested for than ever before. And Michael

1265
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: Sam just wasn't that good to me. He just when

1266
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: he got there, he didn't produce it. I mean, it

1267
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: wasn't like you know it Kaepernick produced on the field.

1268
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: He went to the super Boy, he went to NFC Championships,

1269
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: Michael Sam. I mean, he had his opportunity on the fielding.

1270
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't like he was just blowing by production, you know.

1271
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: I just think he was just a guy on them

1272
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: when it comes to the football field. So I don't

1273
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: think it it relates the same at all. It's something

1274
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: to watch, it is obviously something to watch, and the

1275
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: other thing to watch will go back to in the

1276
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: show kind of where we started here. The coaches are

1277
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: back in the facility at the Star, head coach Mike

1278
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: McCarthy and his staffs and the NFL's allowing head coaches

1279
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: back in the facilities. Training camp will not be in Oxnard, California,

1280
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: so it will be held at the Star in Frisco.

1281
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys have some very interesting things and how

1282
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: to handle getting guys on the grass. Probably have to

1283
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: get them in the early morning hours, maybe in seven

1284
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: eight o'clock hour here to try and beat the Texas

1285
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: heat and reduce the time on the indoor field, which

1286
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: is an artificial surface. And the guys talked about how

1287
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 1: you want to make sure you don't put guys out

1288
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: there on that surface too long because it does affect

1289
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: the players. So good, good stuff, good conversation. That's what

1290
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: we do. Hear all the players outs. It's a perspective

1291
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: from Danny and Barried, guys who used to play in

1292
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: the National Football League, and I, as a former reporter,

1293
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: enjoy talking to these guys and getting their thoughts about it.

1294
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: So we appreciate everyone who's tuned. Danny will catch you

1295
