Lindsay is on periscope getting all 29 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: of your questions ready to go. My first question, does 30 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: Shaun Lee play in this game this week? Maybe a 31 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: little bit? What is a little bit like seven? Yeah, ten, ten? 32 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: Less than fifteen snaps for sure, like eight to twelve. 33 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: Give him thirty snapshn Lee the break. That's the reaction 34 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: of everyone this is yeah, there's football. No, it's not. 35 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: It's I just find it hilarious that we are to 36 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: the point now we're just like throw him out there. 37 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: Who can't like we There was a point in time 38 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: where you would say no, no, no, bubble, only give 39 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: him tense snaps, get him out of there. Now we're like, 40 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm like him out there when it's gonna be more undestructible. 41 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: It's like when he's just out there like nothing to lose. 42 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: I mean it is if you're gonna if you're gonna 43 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: try to give Jalen and Layton vander Esh a blow, 44 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: then somebody's gonna need to play. And I like, how 45 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: many linebackers can you afford to sit? So I guess 46 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be surprising. What were you gonna say? Yeah, 47 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: it's just hard because there's so many people who you're like, 48 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: don't play, don't play. But I'm listening to Brian brought 49 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: us coming in and he's like, some of these guys 50 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: are really close to getting a lot of money. I 51 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: think DeMarcus Lawrence, is he a half sack away from 52 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: five hundred grand, like like that are going to get 53 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: to play a quarter or a half to go for 54 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: those things because they're in the playoffs. Shun Lee was 55 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: supposed to be another bonus this year, right, one point 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: five million if you had played eighty percent of the snaps. 57 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: We know he's not touching that money at all, so 58 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: they don't even care. Yeah. So, but there's a ton 59 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: of players on both right, all across the league. Um, 60 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: but guys who are have a ton of incentives of playing. 61 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: You know, seventy five percent of the snaps or a 62 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: couple catches away, a couple yards away, or a touchdown 63 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: or two away, or sack or tackle away. That can 64 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: be I'm not talking about a little bit of what 65 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: I'm talking about a quarter million, a half a million, 66 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: a million dollars, two million dollars. So some of these 67 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: guys want to play. I met the Giants not in 68 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs. They're like, nah, yeah you're playing. You're not 69 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: getting that money. Ye're goofs cleaning the house. Yeah, you 70 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: can sit on this. We do like our own internal 71 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: bonus program where we have like goals and incentives for 72 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: the entire year. It starts in March, like you know, 73 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: the fifth school year for the NFL. And uh, like 74 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: what if Dave, like you had to write like twenty 75 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: columns and you could get that thing, would you just 76 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: be like I would be cranking. I would be at 77 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: my computer right now, just like doesn't matter what it says, 78 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: I don't I can't do your play lindsay one hundred 79 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: packages this season, just like I would have fifty done 80 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: on the first day. Yeah, not sleep. And I think 81 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: that's how they are too, because like even when they 82 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: reach that money that we're like, wow, we'll never get there. 83 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: Like Jalen Smith, perfect example. He's a guy who's like 84 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: always like, oh yeah, am I getting paid? Like you're 85 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: like you have enough money, but they're like, nope, never 86 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: stop grinding. Man, you're good at something that we do 87 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: it for free. And if you're really good at something, 88 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: that would do it for free twice. But you know 89 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: what I was thinking coming in Jesse basketball guy, basketball 90 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: girl right over here. So I'm thinking because Amari Cooper 91 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: this week was so interesting. He was we were standing 92 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: right there in the locker room. He was like, you 93 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: can't lose rhythm in one week, like final play, it's 94 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: not gonna matter by weeks. Yeah, it doesn't matter. But 95 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, obviously basketball is different than the football, 96 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: but I'd be the person who's like, hey, coach, I 97 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: want to get a half, Like just just let me 98 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: go in there and run like feel it. So I 99 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: feel like it's a player to player basis of I 100 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: want to play or I don't want to play, Like 101 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: I don't think you can lump everyone in it is 102 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: football the same. I mean, like maybe I want to 103 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: go in there for a series or two or some 104 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: guys are like, no, I'm good. I want to say, 105 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. None of these guys 106 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: want to play. None of you guys want to play 107 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: this game. They're all hurt right now, Like outside of 108 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: the money bonus part of it. None of those guys 109 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: if they like, if you ask them like at you know, 110 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: at the crib, somewhere at the bar over a couple, 111 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna be like, nah, yeah, yeah, and 112 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: you asked them truthfully, but like you want to play 113 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: some giants, they'd be like, heck, no, I don't want 114 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: to play. Yeah, because I believe when you're when you're 115 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: see when this preseason game number three, you're itching to play. Yeah, 116 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm tired. I'm tired of going to get to my guys. 117 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 1: It's been a long time since I had some live action. 118 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: You know, I've been working on the new skill set 119 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: all all season. I want to kind of really put 120 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: up to work in a live situations. So guys then 121 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: are like chopping out the bits. I want to go out. Coach, No, 122 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: don't take me out. Seventeen weeks in December, you're like 123 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: my like my pinky toe hurts every like the hair 124 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: and my mustache hurts. Yeah, everything is bothering you at 125 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: this point in time. And when there's nothing to gain again, 126 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: outside of any type of incentive bonus money, when there's 127 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: nothing the game, you'll see it doesn't move up or down. 128 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: I'm You're like, it's time to chill. This is how 129 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: I know. This is how I know I'm not a 130 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: like I'm just not a competitor, like I could never 131 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: make it in the NFL, because I'm just thinking like 132 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: it's great, Like great, the playoffs sounds so cool, and 133 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: like you want to win a super Bowl, you know, 134 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: it sounds pretty great. It's being like I'm gonna go 135 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: play for a half hour on Sunday, maybe get five 136 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: tackles and hit my quarter million bonus and my flight 137 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: to freaking Turks and Caicos is on Wednesday morning. Like 138 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: that's what sounds great to me? Really? Yes, really, doesn't 139 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: that sound amazing? Y'all? Oh?

It's just like he's shade for him. Didn't 142 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: even think about that. I swear to god, I did not. 143 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: Taylor was supposed to go to Turks and Caicos this 144 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: holiday season and the Cowboys playoffs. Fof the Cowboys playoff 145 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: trip is going to get in the way of that. 146 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: But like a great example of that though. I remember 147 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: after the Titans game, because obviously this trip has been 148 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: played since before the season three and five this team, 149 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: I went and looked back at like every season record 150 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: to see when they have been three and five, Like, 151 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: no season ended in the playoffs, obviously, now we know 152 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: that's like historical record. And then no season ended in 153 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: a record better than eight and eight.

But 168 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: so I'm supposed to be in this wedding and my 169 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: buddy's been bothering me about it all. He's like, you know, 170 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: after every game, he's like, what, like what's going on? 171 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: Like are they gonna make the playoffs? Like are you 172 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: gonna be able to come? So, like fourth quarter of 173 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: the Titans game, they're just getting their butts kicked, you know, 174 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: they're about to be three and five. I literally texted 175 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: him during the game and I was like, dude, don't worry, 176 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be at the wedding, Like are you watching 177 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: this game? Like it'll it'll be fun at this I 178 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: think we talked about it too, like the next day, 179 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: because you, me and Shannon have always had like random 180 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: things in January and we're just always looking at different 181 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: things literally always. That's crazy that I don't know about 182 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: I was planning vacation as well in January. Everyone could 183 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: you not like my birthdays in January? So I'm like, 184 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: you know, do I want to go home to Jersey? 185 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: Do I want to go somewhere sunny? And like every 186 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: It's just hilarious that a month ago we were all 187 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: sitting around like we're out of here in January? Baby? 188 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: But what did you What record did you guys pick 189 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: like a training camp? Because I picked ten and six. 190 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: I actually said, um, I said nine and seven, So 191 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: you did Brian had what Brian? I had nine and seven. 192 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: I didn't do your guys article, but I did it 193 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: like around the table. I don't remember what Brian I 194 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: said nine and seven, but I said they wouldn't make 195 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs, so obviously I was wrong about that. But 196 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: they didn't have Amari Cooper then did not And that's 197 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: the key because I think I realized that this team 198 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: was probably going to ruin my Turks and Kiko strip 199 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: at the Saints game, I was like, this team, yeah, 200 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: can like step up to the plate. Amari Cooper is 201 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: a young ge ya. But lindsay back to your question 202 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: about like football players and basketball players and rhythm, I 203 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: think balls the ballers, the young ballers. I think the 204 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: best example that is Izzy Gilliott, like goes on a 205 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: six game suspension last year, comes back still has a 206 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: great gamp against the Seahawks even though they lost. Like 207 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: he feel, I feel like you can like go take 208 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: him sixty days away, hopefully he's still working out and 209 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: then he'll come in and play. It's one of those 210 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: positions that like, true, you need rest. Well, that's true. 211 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: Although you know people talk about that though, like you know, 212 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: fans love to talk about like, oh, well, Zeke usually 213 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: starts the season slow after he sits out the whole preseason. 214 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think I believe that, And you know 215 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: people love to harp on the team taken off two 216 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: years ago against Philadelphia in Week seventeen and how that 217 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: affected them. Although I will say that was a bye 218 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: week by week, so they took off and then had it. Now, 219 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: if you take off a week and then have a 220 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 1: bye week, yeah, and then essentially have to get it 221 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: all repped up in a game week. Now, that can 222 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: throw your hythm. That's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. Okay, 223 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: So then question to you guys again, how important is 224 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: it for them to end this season ten and six 225 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: or nine and seven? Does that matter now? And how 226 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: much do you care about just beating the Giants just 227 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: for pride sake? That's aesthetics, that's like makeup. It doesn't 228 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: at this point in time. It does nothing. I will 229 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: say it. It matters in the grands. It does not 230 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: matter right now at all. It's a winning season still, 231 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter to what this team is going 232 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: to do or no it is, so it does and 233 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: it but it does. It does matter, like it's purely aesthetics. 234 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: But like we were talking about this yesterday, is like, well, 235 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: you know the Cowboys have had a winning record three 236 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: years in a row. Well, why is that true? Because 237 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: they went and played a BS game against the Eagles 238 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: and one last year. That's the only thing they have 239 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: a record right now. I know, but you get what 240 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying is like the only reason you can say 241 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: that is because they tried to win a game that 242 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: didn't matter last year, so they went nine and seven 243 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: instead of eight and eight. That annoyed a lot of people. Yeah, 244 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: but it does matter. So now you can sit here 245 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: and say, you know, that's why it matters because when 246 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: they back you lump in those things and you just 247 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: all you remember it in three years, you just remember 248 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: that it was a ten win year and it must 249 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: be forgot. Like Dak, if he starts the game and 250 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: plays a series or two, he'll get a credit. He'll 251 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: get credit, right it lose, it goes on his l record. 252 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: And that's when when I go on Twitter and say, 253 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott has more wins than everybody in his first 254 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: three years. But Tom Brady, Yeah, his tweets legendary. They 255 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: are pretty much you know what. It's the crazy thing too. 256 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: You guys are talking about that Eagles game lash year, 257 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: and this is kind of something you don't think about 258 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: until we're looking at the drafts, Like how many guys 259 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday this will be their last game as a 260 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy? Yeah, like a third of the rosters. ELI though, 261 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: ELI too, But like the fact of the matter is 262 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: that last year when they traveled up to Philly, it 263 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: was Jason Witten's last game. Ever. No one would have 264 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: ever suspected that. Orlando Scandrick, we kind of felt that way. 265 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: But you know, just the craziness that is, like this 266 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: is the end of this team? What is it? Team 267 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: fifty nine. Now are we on team team sixty? Is 268 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,599 Speaker 1: this team sixty, Chapter sixty? This isn't Team sixty, this 269 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: team sixties. I think next season just team fifty. I 270 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: think team fifty nine, fifty nine. I'll get it. I'll 271 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: get a sweatshirts, sons. Don't worryank you. But team well, 272 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: I mean there's still a playoff game. But but all 273 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying is that that's just like so crazy to think. 274 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: Like I remember after the playoff game they lost to 275 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers and Brandon car just like goes off 276 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: to the side and he's just like really sulking into 277 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: his like helmet, and remember he did that barefoot thing 278 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: for a little bit pre game and always you know, 279 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: it was very like spiritual with the turf, and I 280 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: just was like, Wow, this is maybe the last time 281 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: I'll see Brandon car. I'm not going to see him, 282 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: you know when he's here at the facility. But it's crazy, yeah, 283 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: Like I mean, just the math of it. There's sixty 284 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: three guys on the team, and like the third of 285 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: them won't be here as soon as they're done playing. 286 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: It's crazy. Well, Joe Looney be here next year. Absolutely 287 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: pretty sure, he's still under contract. I could be wrong. 288 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: I thought he'd just signed it one year to year. 289 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: You might be right, he'll be here. I think he 290 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: will be here though. My question on periscope from Mike, 291 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: do you guys think the Cowboys are better than the 292 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: Eagles right now? Oh? Yes, I'm confident in saying that 293 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: the Eagles are hot right now? Man? Oh, just because 294 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: if they're heating up? Nick, you want to what did 295 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: you what did you want? What's his nickname? You told 296 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: us that. I'm just gonna say b d In and 297 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: let you figure it out. Wow. Be Essie has a 298 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: small smirk on his face. Right, Yes, he's not. I mean, 299 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: is it? Am I wrong? Though? Like the dude he 300 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: lets he lets it all hang out. Why didn't you 301 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: play him? Why didn't you let him play the whole season? Then? 302 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: Because Carson Wentz? Because Carson went awesome? I mean, let's 303 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is a really good player. I know he's 304 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: coming back from injury, He's had his struggles. Do we 305 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: need to call me Anny about these injuries and the 306 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: Philadelphia training stuff? Yeah? Going in young Shade over there. 307 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys right now are deeper all around, team. 308 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: Let the Cowboys are a better team right now. But 309 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: I just would not want to play the Eagles. I wouldn't. 310 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: I would not, Okay, So how what to fill me 311 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: in on this? I'll probably just look at Dave Helman's 312 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: Twitter account, lash you should. How can the Eagles get in? Like, 313 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: what's the chances of their wild They gotta beat Washington 314 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: and the Vikings have to lose to the Bars. So 315 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: big Vikings and Redskins. We are big Vikings and Redskins 316 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: fans this weekend for sure. Yeah, but even if the 317 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: Eagles win, it doesn't matter if the Vikings win, so 318 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: really big big Vikings fans, that's yeah. Yeah. And how 319 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: are the Bears handling this week? I haven't really looked 320 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: into that, Like the guys, it's gonna well, so they 321 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: are technically in play for the two seeds, like they 322 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: could get a buy so they Yeah, they're probably gonna try, 323 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: which I think the league actually fixed the schedule so 324 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: that all three of these games are gonna be at 325 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: three thirty in the afternoon. Oh so nobody can't. Like, 326 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: there was some speculation that the Bears were gonna like 327 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: watch the you know, the Rams game and be like, Okay, well, 328 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: we don't really need to play anybody. So who are 329 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: the Rams fan the nine? Which, yeah, at Cardinal the 330 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: Rams are not gonna lose, They're just not going to 331 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: Young Todd Gurley just sitting in second place behind Zeek. 332 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: I like that, Dan Joliet enjoy second place. Todd. Shit there, 333 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: big fellow. Joe Looney is under contract for the twenty 334 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: nineteen season. So that's great news. Honestly, that is sneaky 335 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: good news for the Cowboys like Joe Looney, Kim Fleming 336 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: and Tulfila will be back next year. I like to 337 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: feel so much the Cowboys look so smart in that 338 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: whole deal because I assume I don't know, but they 339 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: actually signed him to a two year deal, which he 340 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: was just he was a roster cut. It's not like 341 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: they were like fighting for him, you know, but thirty 342 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: third overall pick bring him in here, like, well, let's 343 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: tack an extra year on. So now likes he's a 344 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: capable starter and you have him under contract. Dave got 345 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: his Christmas wish list last Sunday, with Michael Gallup getting 346 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: in the touchdown. I want Lindsay to get hers and 347 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: hers wiz DeMarcus Lawrence to be paid. Have we heard 348 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: any further things about where his contract is at or 349 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: the negotiations. I think it's more of a not if, 350 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: but when like it's happening, right, like it's it's it's happen. 351 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,719 Speaker 1: He's gone. If your franchise him a second year, you're 352 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: talking about now paying the upwards of twenty something million dollars. 353 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: Twenty four million dollars. Yeah, he's probably You know, when 354 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: you look at that, you take two years, you take 355 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: twenty four and seventeen. That's not that's a pretty good 356 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: scratch right there. But that takes up so much of 357 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: your cap space with just twenty four million dollars for 358 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: one year on one dude. And there's other places that 359 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: you might be able to want to use that friend. 360 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: You might want a franchise Byron, you might want a 361 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: franchise you know, another player. So that's interesting. Who's gonna 362 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: get the tag? Well, so it is. I mean I 363 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: just have this picture of like you in the locker 364 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: room like tagging guys. All right, who's going to be attack? 365 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 1: Byron is under contract for one more year. He's got 366 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: his option if you're option okay, um Tank is obviously one. 367 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: Uh David, David Irving, he's not guys, let it go? Yeah? 368 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: Is he even not you guys other guys, He's not 369 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: like he's not going to play for this team. Yeah. 370 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: Ever again. But like I would have said the same 371 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: thing about Randy Gregory, no, lie, like I would have 372 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: been right there been like that's the last time we 373 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: saw Randy Gregory. I will say, I think it's a 374 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: little bit different because Randy Gregory was like he was 375 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: under contract, he was being basically not allowed to come here. 376 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: David Irving is just like deuces. David Irving is only 377 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: under contract for two more. More about that, I feel 378 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: in my practice just been like looking for like David 379 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: Irving and we saw him last week. I thought, like, David, 380 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: what what did we see? I didn't what didn't we see? 381 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: You didn't look?

Yeah, it's easy to beat somebody in 411 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: the mile. When you're like halfway through and you turn 412 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: around and Taylor's just walking down the street, She's like, 413 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm good.

Okay, what other questioning got doing, David, I'm 417 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: not doing it. Question how do these defenses stack up? 418 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: Dallas or Chicago? I thought you I thought Drevor was 419 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: asking us about the Giants and I was like, I 420 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: don't care. I don't know. No, David, we're talking playoffs, 421 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: the Bears. Playoffs. The Bears force way more eternal. That's 422 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: the biggest. It's a huge And even when you look 423 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: at the pass rusher like there's not it's not a scratch, 424 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: it's pass rusher. Khalil Macks a better pass rusher than Take. Yeah, 425 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: like that's fair, No, no shade against Tank. He's a 426 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: hell of a player. Totally different too. Khalil Mack is 427 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: just a different beast. He's just if there's if there's 428 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: a a grading scale, like Khalil Mack is here and 429 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: like Tank is, Yeah, he's here, He's not He's not 430 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: way down here, but he's Khalil just for your for 431 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: your grading scale like that, and I know that, you know, 432 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: we do have our first in studio guests today, my 433 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: uncle Robbie from Denver, von Miller. Where does von Miller 434 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: ring in that? Because I feel like for a week, 435 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: hot minute, it was still like von Miller was at 436 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: the top. No, von Miller still in a conversation. He's 437 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: getting a little long in the tooth, but he's still 438 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: like he's still one of the top pass rushers in 439 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: this league. Yeah. Like if you're talking about top five 440 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: pass rushers every now, pass rushers right now, top five 441 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: pass rushers, it would be Khalil. I want to see 442 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: where you're going here, Khalil, It would be Van, it 443 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: would be Tank. Is Tank in there? I'm not ready, 444 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: but I'm not I'm gonna putting. I'm putting Aaron Donald. See, 445 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is a defensive tackle. He counts, he absolutely, 446 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: he has to count. He's got twenty sacks from the 447 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: tackle position. Aaron Donald is the best player in football 448 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: right now, Holly defensive Okay, Donald could argue that, but 449 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: I'll let you get that with Donald Vaughan mac Um. 450 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: You got to think about Chandler Jones. He's a beast 451 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: out in Arizona from New Mexico? Is he really? I 452 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: didn't know that, Um, the greatest star. I'm forgetting somebody else. 453 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: I mean, Tank isn't that far down. No, he's not 454 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: that far down. He's in there. He's in the conversation. 455 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: Feel like there's somebody else that's like right there that 456 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, once you would say his name would be like, 457 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: how do we forget him? Yeah? No, that was a 458 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: Chubb kid from Denver. Yeah, Bradley Chubb. Bradley Chub. I'm 459 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: not ready to put him there. You're right, you're right. 460 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: Cam Jordan really good, Cam Joe, who leads the league 461 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: in sacks right now? Donald Aaron Donald at defensive tackle. 462 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: He's insane. That's the only way theoretically could set the 463 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: sack record. I don't think he will because he needs 464 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: like three and a half. But do you remember when 465 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: he came here on a visit? Yeah? I do, back 466 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: in the day and I was like oh he is short. 467 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: You know, everybody's talking about that, Like that was the 468 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: best thing about Valley Rashes when they started having those visits, 469 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: like everyone saw everybody. And now it's like, oh yeah, 470 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: like Colin Kaepernick was here today and no one would 471 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: know at the Star, Yeah, wouldn't have a clue it was. 472 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: He could be eight feet for me and I wouldn't 473 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: know it. Yeah, yeah, they kind of they keep all 474 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: the fun stuff away from us now. But yeah, like 475 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: at Valley Ranch, you go out to get a cup 476 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: of coffee and Aaron Donald's hanging out. So there was 477 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: a topic that we had. We had yesterday on cover four, 478 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: yesterday the day before you yesterday the cover four and 479 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: it really took off. I'm like, it was still like 480 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: flooding into my Twitter mentions that Dave you got some, 481 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: Lindsay Taylor, you both got some as well. You bring 482 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: it in when we have two minutes left, it's all good. Um, 483 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna speed through this thing. But you know, where 484 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: do the Cowboys have to get in this playoff run 485 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: for it to be deemed a successful season. Divisional round. 486 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: They gotta win a game. They gotta win a home game. 487 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: That's it. So just win one game and you deem 488 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 1: in this game. It's it's okay. I would say, can 489 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: we change success to progress? No? Progress things. I don't 490 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: want to put labels on it. You're putting too much 491 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: pressure success. Honestly, it's it's there's so many different definitions, 492 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: like success as far as your ultimate goal. No, because 493 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: the ultimate goal is your baby, the Lombardi No ultimate goal. No. 494 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: But success for a team that at training camp everyone 495 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: was like, Wow, they're gonna win two games, they don't 496 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: have anybody. I got to making the playoffs after three 497 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: and five would be something to be proud of and 498 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: build on. But then you go back to, yeah, really 499 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: build on thanks from yarity to no slight. The important 500 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: thing is that everybody played hard and have fun. Literally, 501 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: that's not it. Team that was like not going to 502 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs and now they're there. Okay, my man, Like 503 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: y'all have both made that point, and I don't like 504 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: it because I'm not like they deserve a ton of 505 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: credit for digging out of three and five. No, not really, 506 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: like you shouldn't. It's also their fault that they were 507 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: three and five, right, But the Cowboys have championship pedigree 508 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: right now. No, no, no, I mean you gotta like 509 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: literally this this this is a extremely like you started 510 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: over this year, it felt like with so many new 511 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: people and everybody loves new coaches. If you've added a 512 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: little bit with Amari Cooper, but third youngest roster in 513 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: the NFL, I mean that to me is like ground zero. 514 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: I have the Browns. I completely agree with y'all that, like, 515 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: you don't have to win a super Bowl for this 516 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: season to be considered a success, but you can't go 517 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: one and done and lose a home playoff game again again. 518 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean that. That's that's where your that's your seeing 519 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: right now, right Like, for as as long as I've 520 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: been here, that's been the story. There's no shame. There's 521 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: no shame in going to New Orleans or LA and 522 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: losing to one of those teams, Like, there's nothing wrong 523 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: with that.
