Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the player's
Speaker 1: laud broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 1: Now your hosts Buried Church, Danny McCray and new he scrugs.
Speaker 1: Here we go Friday. Yeah there it's time. Yeah there, Uh,
Speaker 1: hold on, Church, this is let me get right. Don't don't, Rudy,
Speaker 1: it's okay. Um, yeah, we think the studio is disinfected.

Speaker 1: tours come back here right, Hey, we got hands headed
Speaker 1: times here Star. All right, he's buried Church, Danny cray scrugs,
Speaker 1: plays lounge and look, we will get into some Cowboys football,
Speaker 1: but we must talk about what is dominating not just
Speaker 1: events here North Texas in the United States, but are
Speaker 1: across the world, the coronavirus. And one of the things
Speaker 1: that shocked me. Okay, so I'm sitting at dinner, in
Speaker 1: my dinner break between having to go back to do TV,
Speaker 1: and then I see up there that Rudy Gobert has
Speaker 1: has tested for coronavirus. And then of course as you
Speaker 1: go to Handy Twitter because Twitter forgets nothing nothing. They
Speaker 1: show video of Rudy Gobert earlier in the week touching
Speaker 1: microphones basically laughing about the contact rules are hey, And
Speaker 1: now later on we see Donovan Mitchell also tests for
Speaker 1: coronavirus at Adrian war Janowski of ESPN tweets out that
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert has an issue in the locker room because
Speaker 1: of his carelessness and the way he was playing around.
Speaker 1: So I called, I called up, do you talk? You know,
Speaker 1: you try calling people, you know, And I said, hey,
Speaker 1: So Rudy gave it to Donovan. And then this person said, well,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you don't know who had it. First
Speaker 1: said you could have been carrying it and not showing
Speaker 1: any signs. So they said, to blame Rudy right out
Speaker 1: of the gate is wrong. I was like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: no doctor and I don't know, I said, but what
Speaker 1: do we know. Rudy wasn't exactly acting responsibly with this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't even have to blame Rudy for passing it on.
Speaker 1: You just blame him for negligence and ignorance. If he
Speaker 1: gets blamed for being dumb, and you know, in some cases,
Speaker 1: like I said, you messed with it. This takes me
Speaker 1: back to when uh perfect was was trying to hurt
Speaker 1: people on the football field, and I was like, let
Speaker 1: me tell you something, if that was people, I knew
Speaker 1: he would have got the Pauls put on them. But
Speaker 1: this is Rudy Gobert is the perfect the NBA, just
Speaker 1: in this, in this moment. It's like, bro, listen, how
Speaker 1: whatever you feel about the coronavirus, your feeling, keep it yourself,
Speaker 1: keep it to yourself. It's other people out there. They
Speaker 1: feel the opposite of you that you feel, So don't
Speaker 1: put them in in in home's way because you feel
Speaker 1: like being then playful and I don't want to hear that. Man,
Speaker 1: I didn't know and uh, you know, learn from my mistake. Nah,
Speaker 1: black eye. Now they all got it, Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1: And now I'm saying we're talking about that with new
Speaker 1: like it's him. And then now whoever went back home
Speaker 1: with their families and the kids and the kids and
Speaker 1: all that stuff, And so now not just your teammates
Speaker 1: or any have an issue or the media, it's their
Speaker 1: families as well. Exactly. I mean, he gotta be one
Speaker 1: of the one of the dumbest things I've ever seen
Speaker 1: in my life. I mean, the guy's going around there
Speaker 1: playing about the virus that he knows nothing about it.
Speaker 1: He just heard from somebody else. It's not that dangerous.
Speaker 1: Are let me go spread and touch it? Even if
Speaker 1: you don't have a disease. What are you what people
Speaker 1: go out there just randomly touch people and touch their
Speaker 1: things and all that type of stuff. I mean, like
Speaker 1: you said, like there's people on that team. Could God
Speaker 1: have kids at home and he spread it to them,
Speaker 1: and now they're spread it to their family and kids,
Speaker 1: and maybe they sped it to their grandparents. And we
Speaker 1: know that the coronavirus is, you know, affecting the older,
Speaker 1: older population. So I mean, you just don't do anything
Speaker 1: like that. That was just a dumb mistake, just a stupidity.
Speaker 1: And if I'm one of those teammates and I ended up,
Speaker 1: we gotta have some words, man, because yeah, but you
Speaker 1: just want to spread down. We got kids at the house.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to have some work. That is what
Speaker 1: wos was ended up talking about on a Sports Center
Speaker 1: hit with Scott van Pell where he said he said,
Speaker 1: there's an issue in that locker room right now time
Speaker 1: with what happened Rudy Gobert, I think about your situation.
Speaker 1: Your wife's expecting, and think about you, Barry, your wife
Speaker 1: just had a baby days ago. Congratulations the beautiful dog
Speaker 1: second time, second time, second time. And you know I'm
Speaker 1: just out here, you know, producing, I'm producing. I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'll say that. But okay, let me hip you out
Speaker 1: on that. I'm done. Fan, Um, did you watch tubes
Speaker 1: get tied? Nah? Take take it from a veteran. When
Speaker 1: number three, the going out of business baby happens. I
Speaker 1: watched doctor Swinnerman go ahead, and we likely to be
Speaker 1: in the house for the next for the faciable. But
Speaker 1: the ain't no sports all No, he's he's out a
Speaker 1: commission for now. Now we have no idea what this
Speaker 1: is going. Yes, all right, So this is what Rudy
Speaker 1: Gobert put out on social media. Quote. I want to
Speaker 1: thank everyone for the outpouring of concern and support over
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours. I have gone through so
Speaker 1: many emotions since learning of my diagnosis, mostly fear, anxiety,
Speaker 1: and embarrassment. And the first and most important thing is
Speaker 1: I would like to publicly apologize to the people that
Speaker 1: I may have endangered. At that time, I had no
Speaker 1: idea I was even infected. I was careless and make
Speaker 1: no excuse. I hope my story serves as a warning
Speaker 1: and causes everyone to take this seriously. I will do
Speaker 1: whatever I can to support, using my experience as a
Speaker 1: way to educate others and prevent the spread of this virus.
Speaker 1: I am under great care and will will fully recover.
Speaker 1: Thank you again for your support. I encourage everyone to
Speaker 1: take all the steps just stay safe and healthy. Love.
Speaker 1: So that's rudly good man. This what I hate. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, somebody apologize to people and they'd be like, uh,
Speaker 1: I want to apologize if I hurt your feelings. You listen,
Speaker 1: you obviously apologize it because you did something you shouldn't
Speaker 1: have been doing that you may have it now. You
Speaker 1: endangered everybody in there, made everybody that you came in
Speaker 1: contact with. You apologize to all the media, all your teammates,
Speaker 1: everybody that you was in that being careless with Hey, man,
Speaker 1: I apologize to y'all. You didn't make it wasn't no
Speaker 1: made you put You don't got the NBA post. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? As soon as that you
Speaker 1: came out and everybody was like us, I think I've
Speaker 1: seen a story there was like Chris Paul went over
Speaker 1: and they was asking like, what's what's wrong with Rudy
Speaker 1: And everybody on the team was like, hey man, y'all
Speaker 1: get away back, he's sick. Yeah, back. Right after that,
Speaker 1: I saw that, and then it was NBA postponed, and
Speaker 1: then of course you know good old Twitter, they showed
Speaker 1: they show a recent game. Then Rudy shoots a free throw,
Speaker 1: misses it, and old boy from Toronto's ends up getting
Speaker 1: the ball, kisses the ball. Yeah. So so one minute,
Speaker 1: everyone who has played Utah recently, you've got to go
Speaker 1: get tests. So when the NBA shut it down, my
Speaker 1: first thought was, Okay, that's real smart because you don't
Speaker 1: know who else may have it. And when we started
Speaker 1: talking about lawsuits and everything, you gotta go ahead and
Speaker 1: get everybody in your league tested. Your players, your staff,
Speaker 1: your coaches, I mean everyone. Yeah, you got to sit
Speaker 1: up here and make sure your league get safe. Because
Speaker 1: we already saw because I was the Mavericks game when
Speaker 1: they told hard we go shut down the high five line.
Speaker 1: You still have fans there, so they were trying to
Speaker 1: keep fans in distance away. So this is a smart thing.
Speaker 1: By I think all leagues until you find out more,
Speaker 1: you don't know. I just don't know. So since you
Speaker 1: don't know, and you can't assure anyone, and I go
Speaker 1: back to your situation. Your wife just had a baby,
Speaker 1: your wife's expecting, Taking precautions is the right thing to do. NASCAR,
Speaker 1: by the way, I was going to race this weekend,
Speaker 1: say no, fans, well they just came out today, and
Speaker 1: NASCAR said, nope, nothing, No, nothing's gonna go down in
Speaker 1: Atlanta're gonna postpone that the Masters comes out, postpones their
Speaker 1: their tournament was all the NCAA tournament shut down men's
Speaker 1: and women's teams. And as a Carolina fan because because
Speaker 1: matar Hills lost nineteen games this year, you can't say
Speaker 1: Carolina is nobody play right, nobody play. You can't say
Speaker 1: turnbody outside of Carolina. There's so many bigger issues right now.
Speaker 1: You're not even paying. You're good. One national champion of
Speaker 1: this uh of this year. You know who it is.
Speaker 1: L Tigers will be the only chawenty college season of sports.
Speaker 1: Go Tigas. Yeah, we represent here we go and we
Speaker 1: did it. We did a historical fast and so true.
Speaker 1: This is true. I feel I feel bad for like
Speaker 1: the Datings though the Datings of the world, they were
Speaker 1: number one scene going into they might never get back
Speaker 1: to this. So should they grant another season of eligibility
Speaker 1: to senior Well, of course, yeah, if they want to stay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you want to stay, I think that you should
Speaker 1: have that option to get another year because this is
Speaker 1: something that's unprecedented and these kids are in a lot
Speaker 1: of cases losing out on the biggest moments of their
Speaker 1: entire life, some of them the last moment that they
Speaker 1: will even be able to play the sport that they love.
Speaker 1: So yeah, give them a little shot because it's tough,
Speaker 1: because you can't just say, you know, let's postpone it,
Speaker 1: and then when it all clears up, will run attorney
Speaker 1: because they haven't picked the teams to go in attorney. Well,
Speaker 1: let's cancer, Yes, it was cancer. The other portion of that,
Speaker 1: and how big this tournament is. You've got secure buildings,
Speaker 1: you've got to secure dates and hotel and all that
Speaker 1: stuff that's gone. That's what because I'm sometimes why don't
Speaker 1: you just postponed? Say you don't understand travel, how tough
Speaker 1: that is the logistics to just get these tournament sites
Speaker 1: and these hotels and things, and people book this stuff
Speaker 1: and supports that this tops book years in advance. Over SMU,
Speaker 1: they had, um they were going to have the women's
Speaker 1: regional final over there. So they've been working on that,
Speaker 1: planning that for years. And so you just can't say, oh, hey, um,
Speaker 1: in about sixty days, we're gonna go ahead and have
Speaker 1: this here. No, that's a whole because what happens to
Speaker 1: other things that already booked already the Mercedes and stuff, well,
Speaker 1: the Mercedes Bens Dome in Atlanta, I mean, you know
Speaker 1: from what we have right here, with what happens with
Speaker 1: the Jerry World. You're booking event and you've got stuff
Speaker 1: there all the time. You start if you walk into
Speaker 1: now they breaking down the it was halfway put up
Speaker 1: because we have the USA Conference tournament. Not walking into
Speaker 1: the they and the court was half put up. And
Speaker 1: then you start seeing the tractors carrying that stuff back.
Speaker 1: And it's hard to book a book of time here
Speaker 1: at the Star, So I can imagine how difficult it
Speaker 1: is to do at and T Stadium or about years.
Speaker 1: I mean, these things, these dates are booked years in advance,
Speaker 1: and so that that becomes a true issue when people
Speaker 1: just say, hey, you know, why are you canceling something here?
Speaker 1: Postponing is not easy. So even for the masters turn
Speaker 1: me okay, they're gonna say, we're gonna postpone it, So
Speaker 1: when do you do it? And trying to find what
Speaker 1: works so players can all get here. I mean, it's true.
Speaker 1: It's it's all um not as easy as everyone likes
Speaker 1: to think. Hurt somebody today talking about the the NFL Draft,
Speaker 1: which is supposed to be in Las Vegas in April,
Speaker 1: and somebody said, well, if you cancel it, just you
Speaker 1: should just give it to Las Vegas next year. And
Speaker 1: I just heard it. What about people the next city
Speaker 1: gonna hold up? You know, I guess like like, oh,
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, then we gonna let's give it back
Speaker 1: to uh to Miami for the past season. If something
Speaker 1: would have happened now, because waiting they waiting for that
Speaker 1: chair right now. One so you're supposed to go to Cleveland.
Speaker 1: He had Cleveland. I mean, you know what happened was
Speaker 1: But here's the thing there too, So the folks in
Speaker 1: Cleveland already know they're gonna have it, so they're already
Speaker 1: making their plans. What will most likely happen. Let's just
Speaker 1: say Las Vegas is canceled. I go back to what
Speaker 1: happened to the NBA All Star Game with Charlotte when
Speaker 1: they ended up taking that away because of that bathroom bill.
Speaker 1: They took it from Charlotte and they said, get your
Speaker 1: law straight and then we can come back to you.
Speaker 1: So they ended up getting they resended the law, so
Speaker 1: they got rid of the bathroom bill. And then a
Speaker 1: couple of years down the road when when they had
Speaker 1: open spot, Adam Silver and the NBA gave it back
Speaker 1: to him. So if Las Vegas is canceled, she's not
Speaker 1: like you just said, well, we should go rolling in
Speaker 1: the next year, because once again you're talking about having
Speaker 1: to book facilities and hotel. This is a big operation.
Speaker 1: I mean you saw what with Dad here over Cherry where.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a big operation. You just can't say, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're can move with you next year. No, and Vegas
Speaker 1: has always packed. Ain't like you can just have a
Speaker 1: weekend for everything, so to be memorial that the next
Speaker 1: week did you lot for a weekend? You know it's
Speaker 1: always something basketball would be there, like you ain't just
Speaker 1: pushing them out. So NBAB resumed and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you got the money else and you know, so
Speaker 1: they got a lot of lots to compete with. To
Speaker 1: just talk about postponent and so when you also talk
Speaker 1: about trying to move things, Let's say your date runs
Speaker 1: up to someone he already has it. Okay, are you
Speaker 1: willing not to buy out that contract? Of the particularly
Speaker 1: depend on which contract that right, But those are things
Speaker 1: that those are things that go into affect you. So
Speaker 1: a lot of people just think that, hey, you can
Speaker 1: just push up down to a postfold, and in the
Speaker 1: world of business and travel and bookings and conventions that
Speaker 1: that's that's well. Let's let's also let not forget to
Speaker 1: touch on this is under the assumption that everything will
Speaker 1: be fine in that town. That's true. This is we
Speaker 1: still right. So you can say, yeah, we go we
Speaker 1: gonna bump this back of mind, who's say we will
Speaker 1: still going through something in the mind. You know, you
Speaker 1: could put these dates all you want to, but until
Speaker 1: it's fixed, like they said, it's fixed, everybody got a
Speaker 1: play what players lounge? Barry Church, Danny mccraie, I'm knew,
Speaker 1: he scrugs. One of the things that I had a
Speaker 1: concern about and we're still going to figure out what
Speaker 1: the NFL is going to do. What about visits, Yeah,
Speaker 1: ot a lot of those have been canceled, right, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I saw a lot of teams put out
Speaker 1: notices yesterday and they got all these scouts and all
Speaker 1: the staff to come back home off the road. And
Speaker 1: I've seen some of them canceled h official visits for
Speaker 1: teams for the draft, and that's gonna hurt. That's gonna
Speaker 1: hurt the cats that are like, you know, fifth round,
Speaker 1: sixth round, like because they used the prote as like
Speaker 1: a place you know, if you weren't invited to the combine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't go to combine. So PROD for me was
Speaker 1: that's you. That was like, that was my opportunity to
Speaker 1: show you. And without it, I would I would have never.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here. I mean, look at Jodie Fould
Speaker 1: get found. I send a text over Gary pat Duson,
Speaker 1: the head coach at TCU football, and I just said him,
Speaker 1: what about your pro dat? So now is it your
Speaker 1: pro dat? You know you're doing zoom where everybody's just
Speaker 1: kind of looking here, see me, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Because I would say this if I'm a university, if
Speaker 1: I'm an age, I just don't want to. I gotta
Speaker 1: figure out. I've got to put something on on film
Speaker 1: for for my clients, especially for the ones who said, look,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna run to the combine, or the ones
Speaker 1: who ran to the combine and maybe they got a
Speaker 1: faster track, so they want to redo it that right,
Speaker 1: I mean they talked about it on the Draft show
Speaker 1: here on on Dallas Coboys. I come about Ohio State
Speaker 1: and how Ohio State's got a faster track than the combine.
Speaker 1: So so these pro dames that you talked about, they matter,
Speaker 1: they matter. So this we've got a lot of as
Speaker 1: I said, somebody's fluids. It's a lot of fluidity to
Speaker 1: this is a lot. So listen. So you brought up
Speaker 1: Joe Dfind to me, so just to talk a little
Speaker 1: bit more about those guys who didn't go to the combine,
Speaker 1: it's guys. So we talk about zoom and getting getting
Speaker 1: your film and your times to coaches and all that.
Speaker 1: Nobody was looking at me when I went there. They
Speaker 1: were going to watch the other guys who were going
Speaker 1: to the first and second and third round. So me
Speaker 1: sending my film to those guys, it would have just
Speaker 1: went by the wayside. I was able to be seen
Speaker 1: just because it was all the teams coming to watch
Speaker 1: the other guys who had the talent there. So this
Speaker 1: is really gonna affect guys like big time. They ain't
Speaker 1: gonna kill like the Bona Fact, like the Bradies of
Speaker 1: the World Bana Burrows. I'm sorry, I ain't gonna kill
Speaker 1: those guys, but the six rounders, the undrafted guys like myself.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's protests. See, I'm sure a lot of
Speaker 1: people came to your prote specifically to see you get
Speaker 1: some other guys like I'm glad I played with Barry Church.
Speaker 1: How was it on the running back for the Jets?
Speaker 1: He went to Jacksonville for a little bit. Big dude
Speaker 1: number thirty three, Chris Ivy. I think, Chris, did you
Speaker 1: have to dress? Yea, he can't to lead those pro
Speaker 1: day and because he was like, man, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of Scout stats and he ended up getting
Speaker 1: picked up. I thinking, like the six rounds off of
Speaker 1: that protest, if it was a zoom or they had
Speaker 1: to sit there something now, but this is this is
Speaker 1: what the times call for. So we shall see all right, Um,
Speaker 1: who knows what happens next week in terms of free agency?
Speaker 1: NFL saying everything as usual, but we don't know. And oh,

Speaker 1: interesting because what we thought at one point time, like
Speaker 1: oh it'll pass that, now it may not. Eric Reed
Speaker 1: of the Carolina Panthers is not happy. He believes that
Speaker 1: the NFL is going to take it to disabled players
Speaker 1: in this new deal. He said, cool, this proposal reduces
Speaker 1: the previously awarded benefits, It goes back and takes from
Speaker 1: disabled retirees. It breaks promises already made, promises made to
Speaker 1: the most vulnerable players. This is a clear moral issue.
Speaker 1: We need moral courage right now. Here's what's interesting about
Speaker 1: what Air Greed said. I had a veteran NFL player
Speaker 1: call me yesterday and go through the whole things. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if he says page three, nine ninety five,
Speaker 1: but he gets into it and He basically said, look,
Speaker 1: they are about to really hurt some older players if
Speaker 1: they passed the D said, guys aren't reading this, and
Speaker 1: he's and so that's what he told me. And so
Speaker 1: he says that, and then I hear this from bear Grieg,
Speaker 1: so very interesting. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: he said, how many guys are going to get to
Speaker 1: three hundred pages if it's forty pages? Guys don't read this.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something if you if you want
Speaker 1: to know anything about the CBA, just go through his timeline.
Speaker 1: He actually posted pages. I think he broke it down
Speaker 1: to about six pages or pros and cons of why,
Speaker 1: why it's good, and why it's bad. So you don't
Speaker 1: even have to read off on the pages. You can
Speaker 1: get some pretty strong bullet points for why he feels
Speaker 1: the way that he feels without having to go through
Speaker 1: for the pages. If you do, he might feel differently
Speaker 1: about are they saying that the new CBA is catered
Speaker 1: towards players that are in the league Right now? It's
Speaker 1: cater towards revenue and paying people more and that's what
Speaker 1: now and then when they leave, basically, yeah, they're thinking
Speaker 1: about thinking about that, anything about that but they got
Speaker 1: to them. Eventually, they're gonna be out. More from Eric
Speaker 1: read his imagine if all the players would have stood
Speaker 1: by Colin Kaepernick after he wasn't signed and showed the
Speaker 1: owners that we are together, the CBA negotiation would be
Speaker 1: a cakewalk. The owners know the players won't stand together
Speaker 1: on anything. I agree with him on that though. Well,
Speaker 1: on the fact that the players not sticking together last time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I agree with him on that one. I don't
Speaker 1: know about that Colin having anything but anything else done
Speaker 1: for sure? Well, I think he said that that's the
Speaker 1: one chance that they had to stay stand together. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's here's one of the things that if I were
Speaker 1: a player, I would simply ask, why do you want
Speaker 1: to do a ten year deal in an age where
Speaker 1: the TV contracts are going to be a ten year deal?
Speaker 1: That's true, Why would you do anything that's a decade long?
Speaker 1: In today's world where technology and things change within two
Speaker 1: and three years. I mean, just think about your phone.
Speaker 1: How many times you have to update your phone now
Speaker 1: because they come up with new things, right, So, so
Speaker 1: I mean the world in ten years, because he's just
Speaker 1: gonna change a whole lot. Yeah, I mean think about
Speaker 1: what was done in twenty ten, the world in twenty ten,
Speaker 1: and now the world in twenty twenty. We were in
Speaker 1: Valley Ran. This is crazy, okay, right, what was it
Speaker 1: one year of the first year of Jerry World and
Speaker 1: now it's all year ten. I mean so, I mean
Speaker 1: thinking about the Rangers are about to open up a
Speaker 1: new new ballpark eventually. Yeah, but you know next month
Speaker 1: when when they started? So, I mean ten y, that's
Speaker 1: a long time. Ten years ago the Mavericks one NBA championship.
Speaker 1: It was ten years ago. Derek was in the top
Speaker 1: five player in the league. Yeah, ten years ago. Years ago,
Speaker 1: you know fast, I mean really think about where were
Speaker 1: you ten years ago? That's true, you didn't have kids
Speaker 1: ten years ago. Surgery, so seven surgeries later. So that
Speaker 1: was to me just just my mind automatically. He said,
Speaker 1: why would you enter a ten year deal? Well, you
Speaker 1: know who's running the union, Demorris Smith. So's the it's
Speaker 1: the it's the old wave, like it's always been the
Speaker 1: team for decades and we don't know why we still
Speaker 1: That's another story though. So anyway, that's gonna be interested
Speaker 1: to see if this thing passes. Um. I think about
Speaker 1: all the time of a guy like Kyler Murray, who
Speaker 1: is an exciting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. He was
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick of the Oakland A's and
Speaker 1: signed a deal with the Eggs. Then he decided, you
Speaker 1: know what, I want to play football, so ends up
Speaker 1: going to the combine, becomes a first round draft pick,
Speaker 1: has to give all the money back to baseball. And
Speaker 1: you start talking about retirement. How about this, And I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys knew this or not, but
Speaker 1: if you play ten years in Major League Baseball when
Speaker 1: you retire, you get three hundred thousand dollars every year
Speaker 1: ever for the rest of your life. Yeah, that's how
Speaker 1: strong that union is. And we over here? How at
Speaker 1: you said? So you got sever We over here, scraper man,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I wish you'd be something like
Speaker 1: it once you're vested. Yea, at least healthcare. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? It's a match match. If you play
Speaker 1: ten years, how we get are underrating? I just don't
Speaker 1: understand how we live. We let the slide, Well, you
Speaker 1: understand the next when's the next vote for the head
Speaker 1: of the union? Like yeah, he just he's pencilan always
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you if you agree to a ten
Speaker 1: year deal, Okay, I mean who are you gonna hire.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a job for ten years. I mean
Speaker 1: the Morris Smith has been there. But I mean just
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and you can hi
Speaker 1: and this is this is just my opinion. You can
Speaker 1: hire whoever you want to. But until the players decide
Speaker 1: there's going to be a sacrifice made, you're gonna get
Speaker 1: what you want. Absolutely, and that is and that's not
Speaker 1: just that's anything, you know, not just I'm talking about football,
Speaker 1: it's really anything. Until you're ready to sacrifice something, if
Speaker 1: you want to give any blood, you want to give something,
Speaker 1: you ever get anything. It's all happen when they went
Speaker 1: on strike, did the player the players call us to
Speaker 1: lie first? Right? They went back? They went back, right,
Speaker 1: that's the replacements, Yeah, they went back. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean until you mean, if you're the product, until you
Speaker 1: miss games, then things don't happen. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: like when you see other unions in different career fields
Speaker 1: when they go on strike. If when you're not producing
Speaker 1: something that's want and then all of a sudden things
Speaker 1: can change, changing your way. Okay, what about the Montgomery
Speaker 1: bus boycotts, that that Rosa parks from Martin Luther King.
Speaker 1: Until people stopped going on black people in Montgomery, allt's
Speaker 1: hoop going on the bus and they weren't making any money. Okay,
Speaker 1: well then things change. You have to be willing to
Speaker 1: give up something and anything it is, yeah, that you
Speaker 1: truly want. And so that's been a big thing about it.
Speaker 1: I've always looked at the NFL players. He said, Look,
Speaker 1: you've not been willing to do what baseball players have done.
Speaker 1: Just okay, we'll withhold services. That's true. And guess what
Speaker 1: these owners know? It holy they know if it's owners.
Speaker 1: The four hundred pages said, read this, sign it. We're good.
Speaker 1: We're good, so ready to like, Yeah, I think we
Speaker 1: got some Yes, we get to we get to hit
Speaker 1: their herbs a little more. We're let's sign it and say, honey,
Speaker 1: Kate say sign up. All right. So that's our CBA talk.

Speaker 1: w Y Scruggs. It's n E Y Scruggs Facebook page
Speaker 1: in his NEWI scrug Sports. All right, Cowboys want Mary
Speaker 1: Cooper the wide receiver back. They want Dak Prescott the quarterback.
Speaker 1: If the CBA passes, that means the Cowboys can't tag
Speaker 1: both guys, which means they only have one franchise tag,
Speaker 1: which means if they don't get a deal done with
Speaker 1: one of them, somebody's going to hit the free agent market.
Speaker 1: And we all know when you have prime players who
Speaker 1: hit the free agent market, there's gonna be somebody out
Speaker 1: there willing to write a big fat check. Big Okay,
Speaker 1: it's just how free agency works. And you're gonna sit
Speaker 1: up here and saying, oh, they pay that guy that much.
Speaker 1: You're gonna say, yeah, they pay that guy that much
Speaker 1: because they had that money and they were desperate, and
Speaker 1: so hey, that's how free agency work. There are some
Speaker 1: people out here who have issues with Dak Prescott and
Speaker 1: Freddie d D. Freddie D entered my Twitter timeline and
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here, um speaking the timelines. Tell me,
Speaker 1: was this before after the forty on the year came out,
Speaker 1: it was like four year, one hundred and sixty million.
Speaker 1: Freddie was upset about the thirty three million dollars. Okay, he'say,
Speaker 1: that's too low, he says too much. He should Dak
Speaker 1: should jump at but yeah, my bad day. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: so Freddie Freddie here, Um, it's saying that Dak is
Speaker 1: at eight and eight consistently going eight night the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: He didn't go to two divisions anyway. His name right,
Speaker 1: Roddy D was going on Freddie D. He said, bro,
Speaker 1: he said, bro. Jimmy G has already had more playoff
Speaker 1: victories already in playing and played his Super Bowls, and
Speaker 1: Cousins has the Vikings as a threatened the AFC, we're
Speaker 1: lucky to go eight and eight. I hit him back.
Speaker 1: I said, well, Jimmy G became the highest paid quarterback
Speaker 1: in the NFL off seven football games. And I said,
Speaker 1: miss me with the Dak hasn't done craps the Cousins
Speaker 1: got eighty four million dollars, didn't had the resume and
Speaker 1: success that Dak has had. Um Freddie is real league
Speaker 1: talking about how you know you can't give one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty million dollars to Dak Prescott. He says that
Speaker 1: is he said, that would be foolish, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: Cousins doesn't play in an AFCO. Jimmy g completed eleven
Speaker 1: passes versus Minnesota and the forty nine ers playoff, winning
Speaker 1: just six passes in the NFC title game. And he
Speaker 1: was not the reason that San Francisco got to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and lost. He was one of the reasons.
Speaker 1: He's one of the reasons why they lost for sure,
Speaker 1: for sure. And he said, and the Cowboys got eight wins.
Speaker 1: They got were against teams with losing records. Let's give
Speaker 1: Dak one hundred twenty million dollars. Seriously, says Cash. Dak,
Speaker 1: come on, man, And I hit him back, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know, Dak is forty and twenty four in the
Speaker 1: regular season, says twenty sixteen. Only Tom Brady has more
Speaker 1: wins forty seven, said Dallas has had one eight and
Speaker 1: eight season. You said the word consistent and It only
Speaker 1: happened once, said Freddy. A hot takes needs work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: them boys luke warm? Right now, Then on the whole, Derek,
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole hundred and twenty million dollars, you know,
Speaker 1: I said, Look, the Raiders gave Derek Carr five years,
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty five million dollars. I said, Dak is
Speaker 1: a better player. I said, Freddie, you have to learn
Speaker 1: how the quarterback contracts work. Baby. At minimum, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: will have to pay Dak thirty three million dollars twenty
Speaker 1: twenty because that is what that franchise tag is going
Speaker 1: to be. I said, you and those hot takes. Now,
Speaker 1: look if you look at what it would cost the
Speaker 1: Cowboys the franchise Dak Prescott over the next two years,
Speaker 1: it's gonna average out about thirty five million dollars thirty
Speaker 1: five point five. So why would you tell? Why would
Speaker 1: you as okay to me? And so that's that's the
Speaker 1: part that we see on social media as so many
Speaker 1: fans are mad at Dak Prescott because it was it
Speaker 1: was reported by cald Watkins in the Morning News that
Speaker 1: he turned out an average of thirty three million dollars
Speaker 1: a year and fans are thinking, well, why do you
Speaker 1: turn out thirty three million a year? And because you're
Speaker 1: too short that's why, because you're too short per year.
Speaker 1: But I go back, this is this takes me back
Speaker 1: to Tank Lawrence when people were mad at Tank last year. Well,
Speaker 1: the cowboys are they're gonna give you eighteen franchise tag
Speaker 1: away more than that, you're you're I'm sorry, guys are
Speaker 1: going to look at if you tag me for two years,
Speaker 1: what is the average that going to be? We need
Speaker 1: to start here. That's what these agents are doing. Yes,
Speaker 1: and it makes sense, and fans don't get it. So
Speaker 1: fans want to think that the players are the greediest
Speaker 1: son of the guns out there when you're just realizing
Speaker 1: that if you're the player, even though you would prefer
Speaker 1: the security, if you can't get that, then you might
Speaker 1: as well play it out as well. You might as
Speaker 1: well play it out look at because the teams, if
Speaker 1: they're smart, won't franchise a guy two years in a row.
Speaker 1: It doesn't help. It's it's it's a detriment. If you're
Speaker 1: trying to run your team inside, it's a detriment. But
Speaker 1: these fans don't get it, and so they're so mad
Speaker 1: at the player, and the day I laugh when I
Speaker 1: just hear some of the stuff that's said about him,
Speaker 1: and sobody, that's your question. Do you think the organizations
Speaker 1: put these numbers out there to kind of paint the
Speaker 1: player as being like this greedy guy so the fans
Speaker 1: will kind of get on them, and then next thing
Speaker 1: you know, he's like he buckles under the pressure. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I just want to be good for the fans, that's
Speaker 1: what beause you don't see the agency, they say, and
Speaker 1: they just like disgusted with the fact that they were
Speaker 1: off from something else. Agen he's putting them. I just
Speaker 1: wonder if that's you know, I'm asking who put one sixty? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why. Yeah, who put that out? Who put the
Speaker 1: foe for one sixty? I don't know, I don't know. Uh, Look,
Speaker 1: it looks like a lot. The first it looks like
Speaker 1: a lot. So you got people mad about Dak turning
Speaker 1: down thirty three, and then you get the here's what
Speaker 1: we should do crap. So what one of my friend
Speaker 1: brother said, we should let Dad go, Man go to Carolina,
Speaker 1: trade for Cam Newton, Man, let Cooper walk and resigned
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant who said this he was he was at
Speaker 1: a bar, like he had to be at a bar.
Speaker 1: He had been up for a couple of probably a
Speaker 1: couple of shots. There's no way that he really he
Speaker 1: was trying to respond. No, this this was his seal,
Speaker 1: and I said, okay, getting pumped, no disrespect. We think
Speaker 1: there's could be a number one receiver with Cam Newton
Speaker 1: coming off SOLDI sharjury, his his his thing on Cam.
Speaker 1: He says Cam never had any weapons in Caroline. He
Speaker 1: comes here, he has a whole lot of weapons. And
Speaker 1: I said to him, okay, let me let me make
Speaker 1: sure straight. Greg Alsen, I said, do you realize Cam
Speaker 1: has been injured the last two seasons and his own
Speaker 1: team has not committed to him next year. That should
Speaker 1: realize something. I said. We're talking about a quarterback whose
Speaker 1: best asset has been his legs in red zone ability,
Speaker 1: and you're talking about a guy with a shoulder trying
Speaker 1: to go on the red zone as you really have
Speaker 1: to ask yourself, are you thinking of Cam Newton fifteen
Speaker 1: and one and the Super Bowl fifty? Are you thinking
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton now? Because guys who play football, no,
Speaker 1: sooner or later, the hits up add up here, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get a bounce one of those times.
Speaker 1: We always talk about running backs having only so many
Speaker 1: hits in the body. If you're a quarterback that runs
Speaker 1: a lot, and you run like Cam Newton, you only
Speaker 1: have so many hits in that body. And the question
Speaker 1: you have to ask right now is how many of
Speaker 1: those hits have taken Cam down? Now, all those people
Speaker 1: who say Dat Prescott is not accurate, you want Cam
Speaker 1: Newton exactly exactly. You live for Cam Newton. I mean,
Speaker 1: so I laugh at this stuff. You want to bring
Speaker 1: in a trade, okay, what you trading? By the way,
Speaker 1: you want to trade for a guy you don't know
Speaker 1: how good he's going to be, and then bring in
Speaker 1: Dez Brunt and let him Mark couple walk who the
Speaker 1: last time we saw his fair brother had had no
Speaker 1: chemistry with Dak Prescott. So if he had no chemistry
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott, you think he was gonna have some
Speaker 1: chemistry with Cam Newton coming off with plan for two years.
Speaker 1: Both of them had to really play him some past
Speaker 1: two years. Listen, that is outrageous. This guy one from
Speaker 1: at least was he at least keeping Byron. Was he
Speaker 1: keeping anybody did did we did we get Robert Quinn? Who?
Speaker 1: What else did we get? Did we get something else?
Speaker 1: My man? My man was really he's he's upset about Dak.
Speaker 1: So it was really a Dak centric type of Okay,
Speaker 1: I understand why he's so mad that Dak wants his
Speaker 1: money getting like he's getting the left over. Let me
Speaker 1: let me read it exactly. Okay, I was wrong on Cooper,
Speaker 1: he says, family, I think the Dallas Cowboys should let
Speaker 1: Dak walk if he doesn't sign the current contract, trade
Speaker 1: him for Cam Newton, bring death back, get a tight
Speaker 1: end that can stretch the field, franchise Cooper, get a
Speaker 1: d line, play smash flow football, feature the old line,
Speaker 1: and Zeke, let's go to the super Bowl. He han't
Speaker 1: been watching because we haven't one. Uh did he see
Speaker 1: the off the line? Listen, he was drinking. He had
Speaker 1: a couple of something something's going on, a couple of
Speaker 1: the old fashions and something's going on. He punking. You
Speaker 1: knew that something. It ain't no way I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: a round up some absolutely no sense. So these are
Speaker 1: some of the things that I get on Twitter and
Speaker 1: trying to explain the quarterback market to people. So I
Speaker 1: bring up Matthew Stafford. Look, Matthew Stafford. When you all
Speaker 1: want to say Dak hasn't won anything, that's you Stafford's
Speaker 1: one nothing. Matthew Staffords has made it well over two
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in his NFL career. It comes down
Speaker 1: to what does your franchise value you, as the Lions
Speaker 1: have valued Matthew Stafford is a franchise player who they
Speaker 1: are the centerpiece of what it is they want to do.
Speaker 1: So you can sit up here and say you don't
Speaker 1: think he's my boy. Rob park and Rob park and
Speaker 1: I go back years you see Rob Parker and thats
Speaker 1: what he does he think Staffords? He's got a losing
Speaker 1: record against ways, He's just he's down on him. Why
Speaker 1: are you paying this guy all this month? The Lions
Speaker 1: deemed him worthy of it. Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones
Speaker 1: have come out and said they want Dak Prescott here
Speaker 1: and that he's going to get a great pay. That
Speaker 1: they've said this, So you can have your own opinions
Speaker 1: about it, but it comes down to what does the
Speaker 1: franchise one. No different than if you're sitting here and
Speaker 1: you marry a girl and your friends like, why are
Speaker 1: you marrying her? Well, guess what, I love it. I
Speaker 1: love him. Doesn't matter if you love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: And this is what it does. Come now to how
Speaker 1: much do you love the player? That's why we keep
Speaker 1: seeing the quarterback markets reset and they have. Another guy said, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, he shouldn't get more than Big Ben.
Speaker 1: He shouldn't get more than Russell Wilson because they want
Speaker 1: super Bowls. And I said, under your premise, why is
Speaker 1: anybody making more than Tom Brady? Exactly who it's better?
Speaker 1: The Stafford or Jimmy G. Stafford? Come on, new Stafford
Speaker 1: is head? Hold on? You said, Jimmy, Jimmy G to me,
Speaker 1: they're really kind of the same dude. How Jimmy, we
Speaker 1: just talked about Jimmy G. Completion. Jimmy, we saw him
Speaker 1: in the right Keep talking about him. That Stafford is
Speaker 1: who who's paid more staff staff them? So what so
Speaker 1: the market you know Stafford reset the Jimmy Jimmy. So
Speaker 1: that's the market. It's right, market about who's better. And
Speaker 1: then a sense of yes, stay right there at the
Speaker 1: market is what do we know the market is going
Speaker 1: to continually do going up. So as it goes up.
Speaker 1: So the franchise tag on what Quarterbacks had three and
Speaker 1: four years ago, which they were using in terms of
Speaker 1: how you market, how you do a deal. That's why
Speaker 1: it keeps going up. So everybody jumps everybody, everybody and
Speaker 1: what I do also kind of laugh about because because
Speaker 1: fans don't get it. If you're a player, this is
Speaker 1: what you want. You don't want people to to go
Speaker 1: below the market back. You don't get raising the bar.
Speaker 1: Tom tell you, Tom Brady, nobody here, no service of
Speaker 1: the rest of the league. Tom Brady could not be
Speaker 1: a baseball player because they the Union, Well tell Church,
Speaker 1: you bet, Church, you better go get this contract, because
Speaker 1: they tell you that Church get that contract because we
Speaker 1: need other people to get this. I mean they when
Speaker 1: Alex Rodriguez wanted to get a deal done with the
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox the Rangers are traded into Boston, Boston
Speaker 1: wanted him to defer some money. Alex wanted out of
Speaker 1: text it so bad he was gonna give something back
Speaker 1: and the Union was even they looked at They're like, no,
Speaker 1: you can't do it. The Union cut down a contract
Speaker 1: that a Rod and the red Sides had agreed to
Speaker 1: to restructure the contract. You can't do it like like
Speaker 1: a baseball cut. That's they were took a football cut.
Speaker 1: They were trying to do like a football cups restructure
Speaker 1: some money here, and the players Association said no, and
Speaker 1: it blew up, so he had to come back to Texas.
Speaker 1: They eventually traded him to the New York game. But
Speaker 1: that's how that thing works over there. They're not you're
Speaker 1: not taking discounts over there. They don't want that at all.
Speaker 1: They they frowned upon it. I remember one baseball player
Speaker 1: who felt like he was pushed into signing a deal
Speaker 1: that he necessarily didn't want to because of the union.
Speaker 1: He did it, but he wasn't really happy about it
Speaker 1: and just kind of setting his own way of you know,
Speaker 1: kind of was told I needed to do this, and
Speaker 1: a union like that is strong, you know when people
Speaker 1: looking at you cross eye. Don't want that problem. So
Speaker 1: without getting his money from TV and on a go
Speaker 1: ahead and take a little bit off. Let's lower it
Speaker 1: a little bit, even though our TV ratings and all
Speaker 1: that's going up. El never year. If if the CBA's
Speaker 1: passed and the Cowboys only have one franchise tag and
Speaker 1: they give it to Dak Prescott. What is your worry
Speaker 1: level about Amari Cooper getting on the free agent market. None.
Speaker 1: If they franchise that, they're paying Amari whoever, what I
Speaker 1: think whoever getting tagged is getting paid. I think I
Speaker 1: think if they tagg that, I think somebody gonna outbid.
Speaker 1: I'll bid the Boys for for Mark Cooper, and that's only.
Speaker 1: That's only. I don't think they will outbid them enough
Speaker 1: to get Let's just say the Cowboys come in at
Speaker 1: twenty and Buffalo comes in at twenty two. You think
Speaker 1: you think he's not going to Buffalo, ain't going for
Speaker 1: the actual two. He's gonna lose. He's gonna lose two
Speaker 1: in Texas, let's say four. Then let's say twenty four,
Speaker 1: and then the Boys getting Boy getting twenty point five. Ye, yeah,
Speaker 1: you got That's only that's only risk. I think it's
Speaker 1: somebody out. But if anybody comes in within the mid
Speaker 1: like mil or two, I think he'll stay just because
Speaker 1: of the off the field opportunities here. But do you
Speaker 1: say had an issue playing outside of something in the
Speaker 1: cold on the road. Yeah, maybe, I don't know about
Speaker 1: like New Orleans, they can't do it. Who can afford
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville the Dolphins, Jacksonville, Indianapolis. It's cold, but they
Speaker 1: play indoors. That's not what they do. So that's not
Speaker 1: And that's the other thing too, is people try and
Speaker 1: throw out this stuff. It's like, ask yourself, what does
Speaker 1: this team do? For instance, when people talk about the
Speaker 1: Patriots trade back to the Patriots, and I just shook
Speaker 1: my head, like what, that's one place that's not trying
Speaker 1: to play any pay anybody. What do we know about
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott? He's trying to get paid. Why are they
Speaker 1: going to trade you a first round pick and ally
Speaker 1: paid one cat and write a check? You know who?
Speaker 1: He is looking for a receiver and they look for
Speaker 1: a receiver all that ship Philly and Seattle. That's true.
Speaker 1: You don't want to go play who I saw going
Speaker 1: up to Seattle on a visit. But if he can
Speaker 1: get healthy, Jordan read the tight end. If he can
Speaker 1: get healthy, you know, you see how they used their
Speaker 1: tight ends up there. He could be. He could be.
Speaker 1: He's done because done. Um here here's and I just
Speaker 1: come back to this with you. What you talked about Seattle,
Speaker 1: you got DK metcalf who really came on at the
Speaker 1: end of the last year, and he's a matchup nightmare.
Speaker 1: We talked about the best of what Dez was DK
Speaker 1: metcalf is. Is that now? And then that got Kevin Lockett. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So if you're Seattle, would you rather spend some resources
Speaker 1: on trying to get your offensive line straight? That's true,
Speaker 1: that's a good point. That got a good solid backfield.
Speaker 1: Russell's gonna be running around that thing anyway. Anyway that
Speaker 1: you could, you could look at me, Hey, look, Cooper's
Speaker 1: gonna cost you twenty million? Yeah, how many? How many
Speaker 1: franchise doing and Seattle hasn't traditionally tried to pay that position.
Speaker 1: If i'm then I'm keeping I'm trying to keep clowning
Speaker 1: by all means. If that's if that's what that's my
Speaker 1: that's my sake what it is. But you know, it
Speaker 1: was obviously last year that they wanted some help at
Speaker 1: the receiver position, so they pay Cooper. You're pretty much
Speaker 1: talking about most teams that can afford a huge number
Speaker 1: to blow them away that the Cowboys can't compete with it.
Speaker 1: It's going to be some teams in their back Philli
Speaker 1: can come to him, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: do you want to live in Philadelphia and play outside
Speaker 1: in that cold? Is that what you want to do?
Speaker 1: Miami guys, that what you want to do? Having played
Speaker 1: lived in Miami, played Alabama, played in Oakland, I played
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, Yeah, I'll think you want those problems
Speaker 1: and a chemistry with the quarterback. So so those are
Speaker 1: those are the things that look at the end of
Speaker 1: the day. He may be bluffing us because he's not
Speaker 1: an easy guy to read. Can be bluff all that
Speaker 1: longest be Cuba Gooding Junior. We're playing rod Tidwells and
Speaker 1: say hey, you show me the money. So we don't
Speaker 1: know where he goes but the Cowboys, and it's going
Speaker 1: to be interesting what you seventy two hours to try
Speaker 1: and naw a deal down with one of these true guys.
Speaker 1: That's all he got left. He's going to go where
Speaker 1: he's wanted. I don't think he's leaving here. McCarthy has
Speaker 1: expressed how much he wants to do to be here.
Speaker 1: He's expressed how much he wants to be here. Bluffed
Speaker 1: or not, I don't think it's that goes. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's going anywhere. How are we gonna like then
Speaker 1: it goes you know, if his numbers keep getting keep rising.
Speaker 1: Let's say they tagged that and then his numbers keep rising.
Speaker 1: Does that mean Quinn's up out of here? Does that
Speaker 1: mean you know his Quinn's number is gonna be high,
Speaker 1: generally gonna be his number is low. Quick we need
Speaker 1: something ELVs, you know, because he got the Nick, he
Speaker 1: got the next thing. We talked about the next thing
Speaker 1: during the season and it's not that easy to come
Speaker 1: back from. He had next surgery then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: who we played with It was a first couple of
Speaker 1: years Hands Holloman. Yeah, that's dating. So it's it's interesting here.
Speaker 1: It is interesting. I would say this about someone of
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper's character make up. You have to play for
Speaker 1: someone like Nick Saban guys like that in terms of
Speaker 1: somebody who knows what they're doing. And if somebody's going
Speaker 1: to go out here and try and lure Amari Cooper away,
Speaker 1: I think you have to have a really good head, coach, strong,
Speaker 1: strong personality, that that's a detailed guy, that that he
Speaker 1: feels comfortable with him. Now obviously he doesn't know Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy can talk to him a little bit, but Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy does have a resume of winning a super bo
Speaker 1: I think those things matter to someone like Amari Cooper
Speaker 1: is winning. I mean, somebody who can vouch for him.
Speaker 1: Rabo cops here is this is true. And I'll say
Speaker 1: this and this is just me. This is me having
Speaker 1: covered this team and Jimmy Johnson who was head coach,
Speaker 1: and you know, just seeing a lot of guys through
Speaker 1: the years, I can't name anyone who Jerry Jones has
Speaker 1: come out and told you I want that. He didn't
Speaker 1: get that. That's what he's saying. We have not seen
Speaker 1: people get away. We have it when he said I
Speaker 1: want this guy, we have not seen them get away.
Speaker 1: It's true, and it's crazy. It's twenty twenty, has been
Speaker 1: so far. I don't think that's gonna happen. Jerry's gonna
Speaker 1: get his He's gonna get who we want. So it's
Speaker 1: seventy seven years old. If you're gonna write the check,
Speaker 1: you're gonna write the check now. Might as well ain't
Speaker 1: the reason to wait. So, you know, and you hear
Speaker 1: a lot of these draft talk, draft talks, Folk Cats was, Hey,
Speaker 1: you can get Jerry, Judy or you can get CD.
Speaker 1: They talk about this rookie receivers and you guys know
Speaker 1: being defenders. O rookie receivers have an adjustment in this
Speaker 1: league's sake time adjustment and it's unproven. You don't know
Speaker 1: what they're You know, Amari Cooper is a proven come
Speaker 1: out of the end this league. I mean, yeah, these
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Judies at the world knows they have
Speaker 1: had great college careers, but you never know until they
Speaker 1: actually hit the NFL pavement, you know what they can be.
Speaker 1: So would you rather go with proven commodity or you
Speaker 1: know the brand? Because he was one of those guys
Speaker 1: who came in and was all and he was one
Speaker 1: of the he was he was. It's definitely it's definitely
Speaker 1: rare to see somebody because we saw the guy Calvin Ridley,
Speaker 1: it was it took him a little while, a little
Speaker 1: and he was playing next to Julio jonesph you weren't
Speaker 1: facing double coverage exactly. The kid that we thought the
Speaker 1: Cowboys could have taken, who ended up more who ended
Speaker 1: up going to Carolina. And last year we started to
Speaker 1: see him little j Moore, We started to see it.
Speaker 1: But but it takes you to start the Randy Moss
Speaker 1: effect where you guys just gonna come right out of as.
Speaker 1: It's hard. That's another thing fans don't get all day.
Speaker 1: It's hard to just coming to this league and just
Speaker 1: start putting up stuff. Yeah, they watch him, they watch
Speaker 1: him in college and they're like, oh, yeah, that's an
Speaker 1: NFL product, And you're like, hey, listen them guys he
Speaker 1: playing against They getting paid big money not to get
Speaker 1: embarrassed like these college kids they were they d two
Speaker 1: schools on all every week. Yeah, or they're they're laying off,
Speaker 1: they're not pressing up here. There's so many can approve
Speaker 1: a point because they don't want to get embarrassed by
Speaker 1: no Rickie and my lifetime, I think it was Dash,
Speaker 1: Oh they'll Beckham. I think that might have been. I
Speaker 1: mean Julio. Julio came on the scene kind of strong, right,
Speaker 1: Julio definitely been aj greenjame On Sean, that's four. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't really name him anymore. It's just it's not
Speaker 1: a big bucket of them. Yeah, and so when you
Speaker 1: start talking about those guys, most of those guys are
Speaker 1: top fifteen, you know, the top twelve wide receivers. You
Speaker 1: know they're they're drafted very high, and the Cowboys are seventeen.
Speaker 1: So if you wanted to get one of these quote
Speaker 1: unquote impact guys, you'd have to go up in the
Speaker 1: first round. But wide receivers. I did a thing about
Speaker 1: two years ago when I was doing a NBC Sports
Speaker 1: radio where they had six wide receivers taken in the
Speaker 1: first round. And I looked at the two drafts and
Speaker 1: each really only produced one guy that ended up doing
Speaker 1: something when they took the six. And this could be
Speaker 1: another year where they they have a lot of wide
Speaker 1: receivers potentially going to the first We can see four
Speaker 1: guys going the first round. But it's a hard adjustment.
Speaker 1: But if you're the Cowboys and you think that you
Speaker 1: are close to a superman. Jerry Jones was talking Super
Speaker 1: Bowl last year. He was talking about this team going
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I don't think you're going to scrap
Speaker 1: and let it Amorry Cooper get out the door over money,
Speaker 1: especially when you're gonna lose Byron Jones, I just gonna
Speaker 1: be sitting up here empty handed. We're not gonna see
Speaker 1: the guy. That's not the Cowboy way. That's not because
Speaker 1: we have a lot of possible losses. You don't say
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who could who could go
Speaker 1: to different teams. Yeah. So, like I said, I don't
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about Coop. I think he's still gonna
Speaker 1: be here. Uh that getting tagged and then he'll get
Speaker 1: a deal worked out some you know somewhere in the summer.
Speaker 1: Think if he's tad, do you think he shows up?
Speaker 1: But thirty three isn't thirty three million? What's the first
Speaker 1: time exclusive? I think you'll be here? Think ye for camp? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Camp easy. He might miss the Hall of Fame game.
Speaker 1: You might miss the Hall of Fame game. And hopefully
Speaker 1: this virus is contained by that under back to back.
Speaker 1: We don't know thinking everything it's cool again, look at that.
Speaker 1: Don't fool yourself into thinking because everybody's like uh. And
Speaker 1: I heard people say, hey, man, listen, you know it's
Speaker 1: serious now because the big money people they're losing money.
Speaker 1: So the curis come in because you know, they don't
Speaker 1: want to shut this down because everybody's losing money. I said, huh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's happening. Just breat yourself, be careful, washing hands,
Speaker 1: do everything they said, you're supposed to do and if
Speaker 1: you're sick, do not go around other people. Be curt curty.
Speaker 1: So since we have no sports yet, to each of you,
Speaker 1: what is a show somebody can binge on to watch?
Speaker 1: Go ahead, you can take that, man. I just finish
Speaker 1: The Outsider last night, which was was pretty dope, Like
Speaker 1: Steven Stephen King, Uh, that was a good TV show.
Speaker 1: I'm doing locking key you started locking Stuf started telling
Speaker 1: you if you go on Netflix, Uh, you can probably
Speaker 1: been watching being watched anything Netflix. It's been on Fire,
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime as well. The Hunters. The Hunters, if you
Speaker 1: haven't watched that. Alpaccino I was one of the Jordan
Speaker 1: Pill was the director. I believe it's a ten. The Hunters,
Speaker 1: It's it's amazing show. Jordan Pill directed it. Um, it's
Speaker 1: about you know this, this group of Jews who survived
Speaker 1: or survived the Holocaust years ago and they're hunting down
Speaker 1: Nazis that came to America. It's it's it's a pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's a dope show. It's a dope show. Like Danny said,
Speaker 1: The Outsider was pretty cool. I watched the whole thing. Um.
Speaker 1: Stephen King, he all he never disappoints, especially when it
Speaker 1: comes to his books. So those are two shows I
Speaker 1: would definitely recommend. I went and binged watched season four
Speaker 1: The Wire. He went back on year and then because
Speaker 1: I had watched season four, which I thought was the
Speaker 1: best of the Wire, and I got connected in the
Speaker 1: seas about like, oh yeah, how does it know? Wait
Speaker 1: what happens with Marlowe Stansfield? So you know, I went
Speaker 1: back and just and then all these gifts like when
Speaker 1: you look you go and you look at the gifts
Speaker 1: from the Wire, we seely bunked those like that or
Speaker 1: a bunch of shakes his head and he walked away
Speaker 1: from McNulty. You can't, oh yeah, that's that right. So
Speaker 1: I found myself watching twenty four episodes of The Wire,
Speaker 1: um over ten days. News you're supposed to be watching
Speaker 1: Sopranos were okay, okay. So what I did what I
Speaker 1: did on my my HBO account. I put it in there.
Speaker 1: You know, you can, you know, save it, you check.
Speaker 1: So I checked and checked it and then I just
Speaker 1: went down and I saw I saw The Wire, and
Speaker 1: then I just you already know what happened to Marrow.
Speaker 1: He watched it. He probably watched it. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: hope Stringer makes a different decision choose. You know some
Speaker 1: of the things I forgot. I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: they got a little Randy, didn't it. You know Randy?
Speaker 1: You know the name? It never did cut that here,
Speaker 1: So I mean it was with car Katty. So there's
Speaker 1: a couple of things and I forgot. I forgot my
Speaker 1: man how. I forgot how my man, Clay Davis ended
Speaker 1: up getting off. Let me the one thing about the
Speaker 1: Wire that I wish it happened differently, because I wanted
Speaker 1: to see this battle between Old Bar and Marlow. I'll
Speaker 1: say this. I forgot how oldmar got kiss. I forgot
Speaker 1: the man jumped out a six foot window, I mean
Speaker 1: sixth story window and survived and he's soldiered it through.
Speaker 1: So how he did that, and then how he got
Speaker 1: gotten in which he had. The thing that I love
Speaker 1: about The Wire I told you I think it's the
Speaker 1: best cop show ever, is you truly didn't know how
Speaker 1: things would end and then when things would end a
Speaker 1: certain Oh not really, because he got it was broke.
Speaker 1: I was waiting it was built up, and I was like,
Speaker 1: ohmar like, hey, hey, he got a plan you know
Speaker 1: he gonna figure this out. You thought I was gonna
Speaker 1: get away, man, you like you know, I thought Omar
Speaker 1: was gonna make it. You're gonna see the battle between
Speaker 1: him and him and Marlow, because you know, Marlow not
Speaker 1: backing down for nobody. And he was like, all right,
Speaker 1: what is due that? And then Oldmarch is looking for him.
Speaker 1: So you know, you see he got the whistle going
Speaker 1: and all that, and how clean at the end, How
Speaker 1: clean mar guy got that rewatchability? Man. So I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: I know you guys have given me shows to watch.
Speaker 1: I got. I got called because it was well, and
Speaker 1: I'll say this, it was a guy over the TV
Speaker 1: station who started watching The Wire because of his brother,
Speaker 1: and so I was like, well, you got to get
Speaker 1: the season four ward the kids said the one with
Speaker 1: the kids was the best one. I love that one.
