Speaker 1: the Missouri Tiger, Mickey Spagnola. And yes, here it is
Speaker 1: it's almost time for practice. Fifteen twelve fifteen practice. Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: so ever some we're gonna time our first break around
Speaker 1: twelve open media time for practice, so Mickey can go
Speaker 1: out there and look at football players on the football field.
Speaker 1: What was he looking for for two minutes? What are
Speaker 1: you looking for? Two minute break? Are you looking forward there?
Speaker 1: And who? Well, we know there is a wide receiver
Speaker 1: gonna be out there, yes and right, Yes, there's a
Speaker 1: new wide receiver on the football field today. You know,
Speaker 1: you guys tease me a lot, so I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: I'm not biting. He has the same name as a
Speaker 1: guy who some say should have been the MVP of
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, Super Bowl twenty eight. James James Washington.
Speaker 1: You know that was so anti clock outside guys, what
Speaker 1: do you mean? I mean, I thought you were talking
Speaker 1: about OBJ coming here. We could send Mickey out with
Speaker 1: a live view camera and we just do that way.
Speaker 1: Now you watch practice and talk at the same time
Speaker 1: out of Lettuce, how boys are having James Washington practice
Speaker 1: and looking at the TV. Cleveland's gonna have Deshaun Watson practice.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's on the same level, but hey,
Speaker 1: I'll go, I'll by, I'll by, Well, Deshaun Watson is
Speaker 1: playing this week, James Washington likely this way. That's my point.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I mean, somebody asked me that question.
Speaker 1: I go, Well, let's see, the last time he practiced
Speaker 1: he didn't get through it, which was August August whatever, whatever,
Speaker 1: And before that would have been January when he was
Speaker 1: still in Pittsburgh because Rememory got hurt in the off
Speaker 1: season and didn't do any of the OTAs or mini camps.
Speaker 1: His leg got caught up with Diggs correct and it
Speaker 1: was August second, August second, a fractured right foot, fractured
Speaker 1: right fifth meta tarsal to specific Jones fracture. Is that No, No,
Speaker 1: it's not the Jones f it's just a fracture. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: well it's his own fracture to Washington fracture. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that they did surgery on and put pins in there
Speaker 1: to facilitate the healing. All right, And so what it's
Speaker 1: happened down here at the time, it wasn't a professional
Speaker 1: athlete deserve it my official notebook, Yes, okay, I wrote
Speaker 1: down at the time on August second, fractured right foot
Speaker 1: ten weeks okay, so ten weeks from August second would
Speaker 1: have been September second was roughly four weeks and so
Speaker 1: that we're talking mid October there, So now here we
Speaker 1: are December December, so I think it's fully healed by now.
Speaker 1: It has been. They just needed to start his ramp up.
Speaker 1: And remember they didn't want to do it two weeks
Speaker 1: ago because then the next week was Thanksgiving and there
Speaker 1: was no practice. It also shows that they didn't have
Speaker 1: a need wide receiver to ramp it up earlier too. Well,
Speaker 1: they weren't. They weren't pushing it yet, right, but they
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that they could use all twenty
Speaker 1: one days and not lose uh seven in the in
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving type deal with the short week, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: because so we start the we started on November thirty,
Speaker 1: and so we're looking at I think two weeks. What
Speaker 1: do you think so yet Indianapolis this week on Sunday night,
Speaker 1: and then you get Houston the next week and you
Speaker 1: might be ready for that maybe Houston, if not that,
Speaker 1: then at Jacksonville. Right, yeah, for sure, So because that's
Speaker 1: kind of what they've do. When somebody comes back from
Speaker 1: a long layout, it's usually two weeks. You practice one
Speaker 1: week and then you get ready for the next the
Speaker 1: next week. And that's kind of been there, uh m
Speaker 1: o there. So we'll see if that takes place. And
Speaker 1: the second question and the Mike McCarthy press conference, which
Speaker 1: you heard live here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Tyrnn Smith.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, close, getting close. So I would think next
Speaker 1: week at the soonest, so is he ramping up and
Speaker 1: then he has to ramp Okay, yeah, so that we're
Speaker 1: probably three weeks away from him. Okay, I'm doing the
Speaker 1: math on it. On the twenty one day windows, let's
Speaker 1: say it's next Wednesday, which what's the date in December eighth? Okay, eighth,
Speaker 1: is that right? Well, no, they're playing on the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh,
Speaker 1: December seventh. Let's say they opened his window on December
Speaker 1: seventh and twenty one days is December twenty eighth, so
Speaker 1: that would be a plenty an early happy birthday, and
Speaker 1: that'll be past my birthday, and so that would give
Speaker 1: him a couple of weeks before Philadelphia, right, and maybe
Speaker 1: in Tennessee the following Thursday, maybe get ready for Christmas
Speaker 1: Eve as Philadelphia. Yeah, so that might be the target date,
Speaker 1: could be the Cowboys Christmas present. See what we do
Speaker 1: against that Tennessee Christmas. We're really moving on here, and
Speaker 1: they hadn't got to the Colts here. Okay. Now, other
Speaker 1: news that happened since we last convened at noon yesterday,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys released an edge rusher. Terrell bashamed him. Yeah yeah, um,
Speaker 1: And I think the thinking there is he was kind
Speaker 1: of the edge rusher, kind of designated edge rusher. But
Speaker 1: with you know the presence of Darence Armstrong right now,
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons playing a lot of defensive end to Marcus
Speaker 1: Lawrence Good the development of Sam Williams, and then this
Speaker 1: might have been the final one is elevating Tack mc
Speaker 1: kinley from the practice squad to the fifty three. This
Speaker 1: pass for the past game. Now he didn't play, but
Speaker 1: he's on the fifty three, and I think they think
Speaker 1: he is a better defensive end to set the edge
Speaker 1: against the run, which is a premium for this team.
Speaker 1: Right needs to get done and get done better by
Speaker 1: the way. So I think in their thinking, that's probably
Speaker 1: why they let Basham go. Now, what't he sick? And
Speaker 1: he had missed some time? Okay, he it was. I
Speaker 1: thought it was an injury. Uh, and then he came back,
Speaker 1: So we'll see. We'll see if you know, they if
Speaker 1: he clears waivers um, then they could sign him back
Speaker 1: to the practice Back in the day, in the situation
Speaker 1: like that, you would stay out as long as you
Speaker 1: can because you know it's coming. Right. As soon as
Speaker 1: you come back, you're gonna get cut. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: remember those days you rehab to get Hey, take your time, dude, Russian.
Speaker 1: I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to go. You're ready,
Speaker 1: you can go. Be ready for the past. As soon
Speaker 1: as you can pass that physical. That's because they don't
Speaker 1: want to pay an injury settlement, right, you got to
Speaker 1: just prove you're healthy. They still do that, Okay, so
Speaker 1: we'll see where for that one goes. Um, but I
Speaker 1: would expect they feel like McKinley's ready to start playing again.
Speaker 1: And keep in mind McKinley, of course, has the history
Speaker 1: with Dan Quinn. He was a first round draft pick
Speaker 1: of the Falcons in twenty seventeen. Yeah, and it's not
Speaker 1: like he's some sort of savior or anything, but he
Speaker 1: just kind of one of those words that Jerry uses
Speaker 1: an additive to a position that's not all that bad.
Speaker 1: But they do have to play better against the run.
Speaker 1: And guess what the cold sal do run the ball right,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor meet the Dallas Cowboys, And you know when
Speaker 1: you look at the game, yeah, you know you have
Speaker 1: a guy like Matt Ryan. He's a very still a
Speaker 1: very accomplished quarterback. You know, he's can't move in the
Speaker 1: pocket nearly as well. You looks a little slow mold
Speaker 1: like Brady trying to scramble, but the arm is still
Speaker 1: there and if they're open, he's gonna get it to them. Right.
Speaker 1: So I mean it's not like we're just playing some
Speaker 1: Washington generals here. You know, these are these are some
Speaker 1: decent players that they need to be put down. They don't.
Speaker 1: They're not just gonna come in, you know, at what
Speaker 1: the guy was that, Jens Salon, You say, with your
Speaker 1: dabber down? What the heck that man? But yeah, they're
Speaker 1: not coming in with the dibbers down. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: coming in to win the game and upset someone else's
Speaker 1: season that we cannot let happen. Yeah, and they and
Speaker 1: I mean there were several passes Monday night that just
Speaker 1: got dropped right, they were on the money. Uh So
Speaker 1: just a team like this, don't even give him a
Speaker 1: whiff of hope, you know, like we did against Green Bank.
Speaker 1: So I'm I think that Green Bay game might be
Speaker 1: the best thing that happened to the Cowboys this season.
Speaker 1: Kind of wake them up, wake them up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Let you know what can happen when you're when you're
Speaker 1: when you're smelling yourself a little bit too much. Be
Speaker 1: looking at that record, that's right, especially since it was
Speaker 1: still Aaron Rodgers. Regardless of what the record was. Well,
Speaker 1: you're looking at any veteran quarterback really which is Ryan
Speaker 1: is one a veteran quarterback. There are certain situations that
Speaker 1: they get in and it's just like automatic pilot. Oh,
Speaker 1: I can work this. You're gonna give me this opportunity.
Speaker 1: I take that right all day long. And that's what
Speaker 1: they do. And dan Quinn should know something about him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go, there you go. Keep in mind what
Speaker 1: the Colts did ten days ago. Yeah, against Philadelphia. Philadelphia
Speaker 1: they lost seventeen to sixteen, and it was it was
Speaker 1: a comeback, right, Ye wasn't that The one Hurts ran
Speaker 1: in right on the quarterback drop White is six thirty five, right,
Speaker 1: And I tried to tell I tried telling him over
Speaker 1: the TV, he's gonna run it. They weren't listening. And
Speaker 1: so the last three games under Jeff Saturday they have
Speaker 1: defeated the Raiders. In his first game twenty five to twenty,
Speaker 1: they lost to the Eagles seventeen sixteen, and then on
Speaker 1: Monday night they lost to the Steelers twenty four seventeen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the game, the game prior to Saturday taking over, keep
Speaker 1: in mind who was at quarterback for the Colts. It
Speaker 1: was Sam Ellinger and he was sacked nine times by
Speaker 1: the new England Patriots in a twenty six to three
Speaker 1: loss nine times after they not a rookie, buddy's second
Speaker 1: year quarterback, and so there's a difference. Well, I got
Speaker 1: the over under for Sunday at five. This isn't Sam
Speaker 1: Ellinger at I know it's not. But I saw Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan running for his how many how many times will
Speaker 1: he fumble? Yeah? He has a few turnovers. He does well.
Speaker 1: This team, you know, it was coached by Frank right,
Speaker 1: so you have to understand that they do have the
Speaker 1: basics in mind too. Yeah, you know, to be able
Speaker 1: to make games winnable. And what you saw with those scores,
Speaker 1: you know, those are some respectable scores. It's not like
Speaker 1: they're just getting blown out. Except for the Ellen game.
Speaker 1: You're looking at a team that plays well together. Their
Speaker 1: defense is going to do their best to hold it
Speaker 1: down until their offense is able to get on track.
Speaker 1: We cannot let that happen. And by the way, and
Speaker 1: I just wanted to double check myself, their defense total
Speaker 1: defense ranking is sixth in total yards, seventeenth against the run,
Speaker 1: but fifth against the pass. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: that means everybody is running against them and they'll pass
Speaker 1: that much. Well, they do have a couple of good cornerbacks,
Speaker 1: but they do step on Gilmore. I didn't recognize them
Speaker 1: with that number five. That was a weird number. Yeah Gilmore,
Speaker 1: that's the guy that was with the Patriots and with
Speaker 1: balling all these years. I'd say, ah, Rogers junior. So yeah, defensively,
Speaker 1: they've played well most of the season, and that's what
Speaker 1: when you have a deame with a good defense, it
Speaker 1: keeps the game in hand for them. And we cannot
Speaker 1: get into this this um. You know, let's just roll
Speaker 1: the ball out there, guys and see what's going on.
Speaker 1: You know, let's see how many stats we can get.
Speaker 1: This stat game for me, right, yeah, stat game for you.
Speaker 1: Let's let's see how that goes. You have to be smart.
Speaker 1: You're looking at a smart quarterback, a veteran quarterback, and
Speaker 1: you're looking at a good defense. You know, they only
Speaker 1: have two games and a good running game, only have
Speaker 1: given up more than twenty four points. Jackson Jacksonville scored
Speaker 1: twenty seven and it wasn't enough. They got beat three
Speaker 1: four twenty seven, and then the Colts gave up twenty
Speaker 1: six to New England. But everything else was twenty four
Speaker 1: or less, so they've done a pretty good job defensively.
Speaker 1: That was a weird team because I think going into
Speaker 1: the season you thought, Okay, this team might have they
Speaker 1: were the pick of getting Matt Ryan. There was a
Speaker 1: pick of many due that may be the surprise team
Speaker 1: in the league. Sometimes those offensive line just doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to hold up. Yeah, And I don't know why why
Speaker 1: they couldn't see that in the offseason. You got a
Speaker 1: slower quarterback coming in, a veteran now, but still he
Speaker 1: needs time. If you're gonna give him time, I guess
Speaker 1: they thought the running game was gonna give him that
Speaker 1: time and the play action and things of that nature.
Speaker 1: But once again, they're not blocking as well as they
Speaker 1: were last year. Be careful of those veteran quarterbacks changing teams.
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford last year, yeah, Matthew
Speaker 1: Stafford this year. Yeah this year. Yeah, worked pretty well
Speaker 1: tom Brady, tom Brady this year, but Tom Brady would
Speaker 1: he moved over? Was we worked pretty well? Pectly, it's
Speaker 1: not happening in these two spots. This is a different year,
Speaker 1: It really is. Things are different this year than they
Speaker 1: were the last two years. You know what time it
Speaker 1: is practice time for the open media portion of practice. Now,
Speaker 1: do you want to go now, Mickey or do you
Speaker 1: want to wait another minute or two? Uh? Everson read
Speaker 1: the read Oh okay, because you know what it was
Speaker 1: the k post one, right. I just wanted to make
Speaker 1: sure I didn't speed past you. Yeah, okay. We'll have
Speaker 1: a practice report when Mickey returns on mix shots in
Speaker 1: just a moment. The Medal of Honor is our country's
Speaker 1: highest military award for valor in combat. More than forty
Speaker 1: million individuals have served in the armed forces since the
Speaker 1: Civil War. Fewer than four thousand have received the Medal

Speaker 1: how big, right, Hey. I have a video of Tyren
Speaker 1: Smith dancing on an island on the beach, and that
Speaker 1: is a huge man. It's just a huge man. His
Speaker 1: arm it's as big as my thigh. Let's just think
Speaker 1: about that, bro I sat next to him, the size
Speaker 1: of a gap. His arm is this fucking big man.
Speaker 1: His thigh is as big as my entire waistline. You realize,
Speaker 1: let's just think about that man, all right. You realize
Speaker 1: when he puts on that elbow brace, it's really a
Speaker 1: knee brace. See, I'll tell you it's crazy. Somebody asked
Speaker 1: the question the other day if he's a oh it's
Speaker 1: one of those movies with the big guys with all
Speaker 1: the armor on. If he was one of them, and
Speaker 1: I forgot. I don't know what the term is. I
Speaker 1: don't want to watch movies or what movie you're talking about.
Speaker 1: That's why I can't remember. Okay, but that's what he
Speaker 1: looks like, like one of those figures on on the movies.
Speaker 1: He's so big. I bet his you're talking about your waist,
Speaker 1: what about mine? Could you marry? First of all, you're
Speaker 1: drinking zero sugar. Are you worried about your weight? Yes?
Speaker 1: You are. When you get older, you gotta watch those things.
Speaker 1: You have to watch your weight. Yes, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry man, that's I think. You can drink all the
Speaker 1: all you can eat all the fast, all the sticky.
Speaker 1: You see, we got a tour here, Oh, Nate Newton
Speaker 1: from Frisco, Ate from Frisco. They let him in the building. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he got in the building. He didn't have to tweet. Uh,
Speaker 1: it was funny pulling back the curtain here. Nate from
Speaker 1: Frisco was Uh was just pacing back and forth during
Speaker 1: that entire exchange between I don't know if he wants
Speaker 1: to come in or not. I mean, he's welcome anytime.
Speaker 1: I mean bags, it's too late. He's killing time and
Speaker 1: waiting for them to get finished stretching out on the
Speaker 1: field so we can watch something on the field. Hope
Speaker 1: he had hope he had just made the loop. He
Speaker 1: just made the loop. He's getting the second loop. He's
Speaker 1: getting his steps in right all right? Um, I hope
Speaker 1: he had his proof of citizenship. Do you want to
Speaker 1: do that now? Okay, we'll wait till the next segment. Ok.
Speaker 1: Bi's got a great mix shot today, but we'll save
Speaker 1: it for the last segment of the show. Um, speaking
Speaker 1: of offensive lineman, Yes, Nate and Frisco. Um, how big
Speaker 1: it brings it up? Because ever since last segment you
Speaker 1: talked about it's something that the Colts needed to address
Speaker 1: on their offensive line, or they thought they had addressed
Speaker 1: it in the third round of the draft by picking
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle Bernard Raymond or Rayman. I haven't figured
Speaker 1: out how you pronounce his name. Yeah, it is Bernard
Speaker 1: Ryan Ryan, Bernhard Rayman burn Hard Yeah, burr b e
Speaker 1: r r ber. Okay. The Cowboys made the decision in
Speaker 1: the first round to take an offense of god, yeah,
Speaker 1: tackle turned down to play tackle at the guard, and
Speaker 1: then we'll wind up at back at tackle. Right now,
Speaker 1: we're talking right now. He's the drafted first round guard, right,
Speaker 1: thank you, Tyler Smith. He will make the first team
Speaker 1: All Rookie team. All right, So how big was that
Speaker 1: decision when you consider the fact I believe and I
Speaker 1: don't have the draft pulled up. The next offensive tackle
Speaker 1: taken was Bernhard Rayman in the third round by the
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, the third tackle because there was a center
Speaker 1: taken after him. Tackle. Yeah, yeah, Well they wait to
Speaker 1: the third round to address it. Well, that was and
Speaker 1: it gets back to the point where the Cowboys knew
Speaker 1: because there was a run on all the tackles in
Speaker 1: the first round. They knew even though they had Tyler
Speaker 1: Smith graded higher than where they picked him at twenty
Speaker 1: four or whatever it was. I think they had him
Speaker 1: was their sixteenth number sixteen player. On their board. But
Speaker 1: they knew that you have to take him now because
Speaker 1: other than that, you might as well wait till the
Speaker 1: fifth round where they got Matt Well, let's go, you know,
Speaker 1: to take your tackle because the run on the first
Speaker 1: round graded tackles was Tyler Smith was in. Yeah. Right,
Speaker 1: But how big a decision was that now? Because they
Speaker 1: could have gone another way if they wanted to. I
Speaker 1: mean you could you could have signed a Federan offensive
Speaker 1: guard because the need was at guard, not at tackle necessarily.
Speaker 1: But if you projected Tyler Smith to eventually be Tyrn
Speaker 1: Smith's replacement at left tackle, then by golla, you take
Speaker 1: him now. But you did not know that Tyland Smith
Speaker 1: would be hurt. Yeah, I'm talking eventually. Yeah. And so
Speaker 1: that's why they took him at that point was because
Speaker 1: they knew Tyran is eventually Yeah, long in the tooth
Speaker 1: this year, right, Yeah, the future arrived sooner by the
Speaker 1: first game of the year. Yeah, how big a decision
Speaker 1: was that was huge? Especially looking at how he's playing
Speaker 1: right and looks like this guy's playing right, Raymond, right,
Speaker 1: I think he said Ryan, Yeah, so yeah, but but
Speaker 1: then his def Raymond was more of a project. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: Now you could say the same a little bit about
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith with the penalties of the end in college
Speaker 1: and how young he was coming out. But clearly the U,
Speaker 1: whether it's offensive line coach Joe Philbin and the scouts whatever,
Speaker 1: they saw a lot in Tyler Smith to work with,
Speaker 1: and he has come through with flying Colors and league.
Speaker 1: Why you just said flying league? Why is that what
Speaker 1: he's considered of success with Flying Colors? I would take so. Yeah.
Speaker 1: To me, I would say yes, I just wouldn't sure
Speaker 1: what around the league. What I see is Tamman Steele
Speaker 1: over here running down the field anytime he gets a chance,
Speaker 1: trying to knock somebody out. And you see this guy
Speaker 1: holding down on the blind side. That's pretty good. He's
Speaker 1: doing a I think, a good job, boiderline, great job
Speaker 1: considering the fact that he's just a rookie and one
Speaker 1: years old. Twenty one. I came in at twenty one. No, big,
Speaker 1: So you weren't You weren't taking out Reggie White or anything. No,
Speaker 1: I was not taking hell No that used to keep
Speaker 1: him him Nate and Frisco sleepless nights. You got to
Speaker 1: go up and get yeah, And then the other one
Speaker 1: was Jerome Brown and he was playing guard. Oh man,
Speaker 1: he said, I lost more sleep knowing that I had
Speaker 1: to play him the next day. I'd like to go
Speaker 1: back and look at those matchups Jerome Brown and then yeah,
Speaker 1: they talking that noise. He's humble, But Nate handled his business. No,
Speaker 1: he did handle his business. Nate. Nate got a lot
Speaker 1: of pub there on those Thanksgiving things with John Madden
Speaker 1: right eating his turkey Lake, no doubt, just ripping it
Speaker 1: off the turkey. He didn't just like Nate because he
Speaker 1: had a great personality. Yeah, he like Nate because Nate
Speaker 1: was bawling right and m Smith was loving every minute
Speaker 1: of it. Boy, you got that ring. Although he loves
Speaker 1: what he starts as they ask him about things. He
Speaker 1: remembers about the Super Bowl and it was the um
Speaker 1: It was the first one to touchdown to Novo check
Speaker 1: ninety two one, and he missed his block. At All
Speaker 1: he could think was, oh, I said, what'd you see
Speaker 1: the play goes? I don't know, I was on the ground.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine all the offensive linemen that have been
Speaker 1: on the ground looking back at somebody like Reggie White
Speaker 1: going to knock for the best. Oh, that was a melior, right.
Speaker 1: But you know, um, and Nate will will say this,
Speaker 1: you know, he thanks Paul Taglibou or Roselle, whoever was
Speaker 1: commissioner at that point of them. Um. You know, if
Speaker 1: you were a three hundred and thirty forty pound offensive lineman,
Speaker 1: you were real weight. Wasn't prescription weight? Right? And once
Speaker 1: they got those guys, then Nate, look how big this
Speaker 1: guy is and that's natural. Yeah, And think about when
Speaker 1: the Cove when he came to the Cowboys, because Tom
Speaker 1: Landry his the heaviest offensive lineman he had, might have
Speaker 1: been to seventy at that point, right, those guys were
Speaker 1: rafferty Jerry. Jerry has said when he bought the team
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty nine that how many offensive linemen who
Speaker 1: were over three hundred pounds in the lag You remember
Speaker 1: what that number was? I do not, But there wasn't
Speaker 1: very men. I think it was like four, yeah, that
Speaker 1: were over three hundred pounds in nineteen eighty nine, and
Speaker 1: there were none on the Cowboys and eighty six when
Speaker 1: Nate got here, not a one. And then they ended
Speaker 1: up with big big Crawford Curt and come on, what's
Speaker 1: my man named? Man? That's my dude, Gogan was a man.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when they Gogan got into a fight
Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl, Well, Randy White did too. No,
Speaker 1: Gogan probably started here. I probably did. You don't get
Speaker 1: into a fight at the game, yes, during the game, okay,
Speaker 1: well Randy's wasn't during the game. Off the field, that's
Speaker 1: when you handled that correctly. That's when you handled that
Speaker 1: in front of the family of friends. You don't handle
Speaker 1: that on the football Gogan, if you remember, he ended
Speaker 1: up eighty seven. I think it was they switched between
Speaker 1: Gogen and why Dell, like one of them was the
Speaker 1: run blocker and one came in on Nickel to throw
Speaker 1: the ball. I was imagine was more of a run blocker. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because he liked them all. Yeah, he liked the White
Speaker 1: Dell was more quick on his feet. Yeah. You know
Speaker 1: where Randy White got that instinct for being able to
Speaker 1: handle his business, whether on the field or off the field.
Speaker 1: Family his mom, Yes, I remember the stories. Told him
Speaker 1: I was in Philadelphia game or no, that was Washington.

Speaker 1: he tells the story they were in Philadelphia and somebody
Speaker 1: outside security or whatever he came in and go, go granny,
Speaker 1: could you come outside your your brother's beating the hell
Speaker 1: out of somebody in the But the Washington one was
Speaker 1: some guy dumped a beer on his sister's head during
Speaker 1: the game, and Mama White, she used to in her
Speaker 1: purse kept a blackjack. I don't know if people knew
Speaker 1: what that was, but it was basically a stick. And
Speaker 1: at the end, yeah, and they had wrapped like black
Speaker 1: electric tape in a big ball and she because you
Speaker 1: could take a grip, and she calls no, so you
Speaker 1: can hit him like and they said, she stood up
Speaker 1: and started beating the hell out of the guy. He
Speaker 1: was on the ground and everybody was cheering, and she
Speaker 1: guy was hit. I mean something like that. He paid
Speaker 1: the manster's mom. Yes, the momster. That's good. That's good.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's ever said that, because I know
Speaker 1: this old story, because I've heard you saying before. No
Speaker 1: one's ever finished. All right, Mickey needs to go back

Speaker 1: how did you how did you spend your morning? Mickey
Speaker 1: A check this out unless you guys have had to
Speaker 1: do any notice. By the way, I just happened to
Speaker 1: look at my driver's license and saw that my driver's
Speaker 1: license was expiring today in two weeks, and I said
Speaker 1: her birthday, I better start working on this. So last
Speaker 1: night I tried. It says, oh, you can sign up online, right,
Speaker 1: So I had to I had to like make log
Speaker 1: into like three different things to get to the point
Speaker 1: I could do it online, right. And I got to
Speaker 1: the point where it was time to register online and
Speaker 1: it says not eligible, And I do, what do you
Speaker 1: mean not eligible? It was? And I kept fighting it nothing.
Speaker 1: So I found the phone number I was going to
Speaker 1: call this morning, and I kept trying while I was
Speaker 1: on hold for fifteen minutes. Right, They never they never answered, right,
Speaker 1: you're not going to push one for this and two
Speaker 1: for this, and just on and on and on, and
Speaker 1: finally I saw something where it said you can make
Speaker 1: an appointment to go to the DPS site and you
Speaker 1: time and day, just walk right in, get taken care of, right,
Speaker 1: back out. So I and then I looked at the
Speaker 1: places that were closest to me, and it was like
Speaker 1: December thirteenth, December fifty, what's two weeks? And then I
Speaker 1: found one and I said, well, there used to be
Speaker 1: one where we lived in Carrollton. So I looked up
Speaker 1: and now Carrollton's the Mega Center. Oh yeah, right, And
Speaker 1: so I looked and it said it said eleven thirty,
Speaker 1: meaning today, the date at nine to fifty. So I
Speaker 1: was like, it's ten to nine. I can make it right,
Speaker 1: I can get there in twenty minutes. So I signed up,
Speaker 1: got my confirmation right here, you're in right, Well, there's
Speaker 1: some fine print way down here at the bottom that
Speaker 1: I in my haste. I was like, I didn't look
Speaker 1: at it. And I got there and at nine to
Speaker 1: fifty they called my number to go into number twenty
Speaker 1: eight desk and I go in there and give them
Speaker 1: my stuff. I'm real out of myself, and the guy
Speaker 1: that was helping me, he was kind of broken English
Speaker 1: with a mask on, and so I had to have
Speaker 1: him repeat everything to me so I could understand. And
Speaker 1: he goes, well, I give him my driver's license, you know,
Speaker 1: and he goes do you have a passport? And I
Speaker 1: go yeah. He goes, do you have it with you?
Speaker 1: I go no. He goes, can you go home and

Speaker 1: He goes, no, I need a passport and a birth certificate. Okay,

Speaker 1: I get this? And he goes, well, in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: the rules in Texas changed and you got to have
Speaker 1: proof of your citizenship to renew your driver's lights. You
Speaker 1: don't need both of them. I'm bringing both next time, right,
Speaker 1: And It's like, what I got to do that? How
Speaker 1: did I get this? And he goes, well, the rules changed,
Speaker 1: So you know why the rules changed. Well, we live
Speaker 1: in Texas and we're worried about people coming over the border. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you do look like you came up right, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: look suspicious man. And I was like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: After all this work that I did, did they not
Speaker 1: have a record of you having lived in Texas since
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty? He was on the computer and looking, I go,
Speaker 1: why he goes, because last time you did this, you

Speaker 1: you expiring? Five? Oh? Okay, you're good. I'm good because
Speaker 1: I think Mickey, this is like your sister the twelfth
Speaker 1: ye five. See we're the same. Yeah, it's like I'm
Speaker 1: on your brother's birthday. That's right, you're December eleventh, and
Speaker 1: then my yours is January twelfth. Yeah, to one day
Speaker 1: of the week you said, uh, the Texan game mine
Speaker 1: the eleven. Yeah, he's at and T Stadium, So it
Speaker 1: won't we will not be convened that. Now you're in
Speaker 1: the studio. Now we won't have a birthday cake. But
Speaker 1: but Producers Supreme Ames is the next day on Mondays.
Speaker 1: It's January anyway. Yeah, it's the same day as we
Speaker 1: were ready for the playoffs. And it's the same day
Speaker 1: as Mickey's sisters lightoff. So his and my sister is
Speaker 1: the same day, and then me and Rich the same day.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, how about that and we all were born
Speaker 1: in Chicago, which is crazy too. Yeah, and maybe that's
Speaker 1: why I was. I put down Cook County, you know,
Speaker 1: and they said, oh, that crooked County. That's where it
Speaker 1: was known that in a long time county about decade
Speaker 1: or so. They used to say that all the time.
Speaker 1: Mayor Daily took care of us. Yeah, okay, okay, we
Speaker 1: didn't have no strikes. Okay, okay, one minute left the
Speaker 1: six shots. How would you like to spend it? I
Speaker 1: got something, Okay, go ahead. Cowboys offense, you remember when
Speaker 1: they were talking about Cooper Russian and how you know
Speaker 1: that doesn't need to come back? Right? Since week what
Speaker 1: was that seven? Seven? Week one through six? Yeah, we
Speaker 1: were twenty third in points since since then, first twenty
Speaker 1: seventh total yards since then, third twenty seventh passing yards
Speaker 1: since then, sixth twenty ninth and third downs since then,
Speaker 1: first twenty fifth in points per drive since then first. Now,
Speaker 1: that's what I call improvement. Well, with a four and
Speaker 1: one record, the only loss being in overtime against the
Speaker 1: Packers of thirty one, twenty eight game in which the
Speaker 1: Cowboys had a fourteen point on the fourth quarter, so
Speaker 1: they averaged thirty three point eight points a game third
Speaker 1: down offense, and this was the one everybody was so
Speaker 1: worried about. Right, since Dak returned, they've converted fifth d
Speaker 1: seven point one percent of their third downs. I've got
Speaker 1: a prediction as we close out this edition of Mike
Speaker 1: Show and yards per game four hundred and sixteen since
Speaker 1: he returned. Second in the NFL. Yes, I was listening
Speaker 1: to a national show on the way in and they've
Speaker 1: given the division to the Philadelphia Eagles. I think the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys are going to win the NFC. You think so?
Speaker 1: I do. I might be a tie with the Eagles
Speaker 1: and we may have to go to a tiebreaker. This
Speaker 1: this predicts a win over the Eagles, obviously, so they
Speaker 1: head to head would be even and they at least
Speaker 1: a loss. For the Eagles, they just need to lose once. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because the first tiebreaker's division, they've lost to Washington. That's right,
Speaker 1: So would we have the division record? I could mark
Speaker 1: it down, but see that, but I don't care if
Speaker 1: we do, just get in the playoffs. I think. I
Speaker 1: think this is the team that can make moves. Just
Speaker 1: give me, and I don't mean just you would care
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys got the first round. By yes, I would, Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: I would. There's a chance. There's a chance of that.
Speaker 1: Otherwise they'll end up playing Tampa right now, the team
Speaker 1: with the second best division record, is that right? If
Speaker 1: you're if you're the top wild card team, now you
Speaker 1: play the worst the top Yeah, that would play the
Speaker 1: team with the worst Tampa right now, NFC South is horrible.
Speaker 1: You'd be playing a wild card team. No, you would
Speaker 1: need the wild wild four would play five? Right, that's right? Correct,
Speaker 1: which is Tampa right now? Yeah? You know, I don't
Speaker 1: mind a little a little payback, Yeah, you know, on
Speaker 1: the way to shutting people up and changing their minds
Speaker 1: about the culture here. That's the main thing about it.
Speaker 1: No one respects the Cowboys because we haven't shown to
Speaker 1: have any type of culture here that has toughness attached
Speaker 1: to it. But if you were the division winner, and
Speaker 1: let's say Minnesota had the first round, bye, they're gonna
Speaker 1: lose again. Yeah, I think they may lose separate multiple times,
Speaker 1: that's right. So yeah, then you would play the seventh
Speaker 1: seeded right, No, you would get the buy you and
Speaker 1: if you were second, you would get but but yeah,
Speaker 1: if you were the second seed, It could be that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys wind up playing Washington in the last regular
Speaker 1: season game and Washington and the Gap first round the
Speaker 1: playoffs could happen if all three of them make it
Speaker 1: right and right now, Dallas right, and Dallas was the
Speaker 1: division winner. So anyway, we got it all out, don't care.
Speaker 1: The bottom line from this show is don't forget your passport.
Speaker 1: There you go, and more lessons for you in the
Speaker 1: next episode of mix Shots coming your way at noon tomorrow,
Speaker 1: Go Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
