Speaker 3: We put the Niners behind us as with a Monday
Speaker 3: night game this week, the official start of practice preparations
Speaker 3: for the Chargers has begun. Bill Jones, Everson Walls, you
Speaker 3: know what. It's what's going on with.
Speaker 2: Mickey taseon So he's had a problem.
Speaker 3: Savannah, Hugh Mooler and Mickey Spagnola trying to figure out
Speaker 3: what's going on.
Speaker 2: With his head, his feet of dangling from the chair.
Speaker 2: So I'm good.
Speaker 3: I think you are really good because you got to
Speaker 3: look at football players on a football field.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately they haven't done anything.
Speaker 2: So uh, you got.
Speaker 3: To remember to go out there.
Speaker 4: That's right, I need to go check on.
Speaker 2: Something.
Speaker 5: Is every Is everyone all good?
Speaker 3: I accidentally hit the mute button when I I'm bad,
Speaker 3: don't you take over from.
Speaker 5: Did we all plan this out today? Our outfits?
Speaker 6: I'm the only one that's.
Speaker 3: I'm dressed up today because I did the Coaches show
Speaker 3: this morning. So he was in a good mood.
Speaker 4: And he was well, I hear that. Uh, Nate and
Speaker 4: Frisco gave him a hug.
Speaker 2: Yes, he did. He needed HU.
Speaker 3: The show, and he didn't say anything. He just gave
Speaker 3: him a big old hug.
Speaker 4: Somebody asked him in the press conference, you know, he
Speaker 4: was talking about making sure everybody else is good after
Speaker 4: a loss like that, and somebody asked, him, well, what
Speaker 4: about you? He goes well, Nate, and Nate gave me
Speaker 4: a big old hug.
Speaker 6: Nate was like the big mother, you know, the whole thing.
Speaker 3: You know what Barth had said, He said, my wife
Speaker 3: hadn't even give me a hug.
Speaker 2: That, Nate, just what you need, just what you need.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, I was trying to see if Cavante Turpin was
Speaker 4: out there. Uh. He was supposed to start off rehabbing.
Speaker 4: UH and Everson and I when we left yesterday, or
Speaker 4: were you with me? No, I was seeing it. He
Speaker 4: was he was on the cords rehabit doing theme.
Speaker 2: You spoke of it, You did speak of it, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: And so that was a good sign. So he said
Speaker 4: he was going to at least start there, and I
Speaker 4: was told he was day to day. So we'll see
Speaker 4: what happens. And it sounds like they're going to start
Speaker 4: n Sean Wright's clock coming off of injured reserve. Mike
Speaker 4: said he was going to start practicing.
Speaker 3: Can you explain to us what that means?
Speaker 4: Well, he's on injured reserve, he's served his mandatory four games,
Speaker 4: meaning missing those, and then you can get a guy
Speaker 4: start practicing before you have to make a decision on
Speaker 4: if you're going to leave him there or if you're
Speaker 4: going to activate him. If you activate him, you have
Speaker 4: to put him on the fifty three man roster. And
Speaker 4: now that they're kind of banged up at the quarterback position,
Speaker 4: it seems like that, you know, they might make a
Speaker 4: move there at some point, probably not this week.
Speaker 3: And so how does the bye week factor into those weeks?
Speaker 4: By the way, the bye week does not count as
Speaker 4: a week on i R. So like for Leyton Vandersh,
Speaker 4: I's got to miss four games, right, We.
Speaker 2: Talked about that, Yeah, we talked about that crazy?
Speaker 3: So does that also affect na Sean Wright? Where his
Speaker 3: the window.
Speaker 4: He has missed four games, right, but on.
Speaker 3: His return because he designated him for a return.
Speaker 4: Right, I think you have like which allows him to
Speaker 4: practice three weeks something like that too.
Speaker 3: I didn't know if the bye week gave it another week,
Speaker 3: because that doesn't count.
Speaker 4: I guess it wouldn't count as a week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's more like a four week window for him.
Speaker 4: So you'd like to see Turpin healthy enough to get
Speaker 4: back out there and play. You definitely would, especially not
Speaker 4: only from a wide receiver standpoint, but a punt return
Speaker 4: standpoint also, since nobody returns kickoffs anymore.
Speaker 3: You know, along those lines, when we're talking about special teamers.
Speaker 4: C J.
Speaker 3: Goodwin, I don't know that we talked enough about him
Speaker 3: and what he meant to this team. And even when
Speaker 3: go call up the John Fossil press conference from Monday
Speaker 3: and mix shot on and on talking about CJ. Goodwin
Speaker 3: and he can't say enough good things about CJ. Goodwin.
Speaker 3: But will you go back and look at that game
Speaker 3: the other day if you pull up the all twenty
Speaker 3: two and he got hurt covering the first punt and
Speaker 3: he stayed in the game and tried and yeah, it
Speaker 3: was a pectoral injury.
Speaker 2: Whatever he heard on the tackle.
Speaker 3: On the tackle tackle, Wow, he got hurt on the
Speaker 3: tackle and then he still gave it a go even
Speaker 3: though he's got basically a torn peg. And you watch
Speaker 3: him early second quarter on a punt coverage and his
Speaker 3: left arm is just hanging. He's going down covering and
Speaker 3: he got in on the tackle. Trent Sig, the long snapper,
Speaker 3: made the probably was credit with the tackle, but good
Speaker 3: one was right in there on the tackle. That shows
Speaker 3: what kind of heart that guy.
Speaker 4: Plays, Fossil. Fossil said that he talked his way back in.
Speaker 4: They were like, dude, you got a torn peck, and
Speaker 4: he goes, yeah, but I think I can do this,
Speaker 4: And so he went in and they saw him running down.
Speaker 6: Yeah but yeah, never mind, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: You got to come off. That's enough. And you know,
Speaker 4: and and and he doesn't want to give up, like
Speaker 4: he's going to go on ir. But you can put
Speaker 4: a guy on I R for the rest of the
Speaker 4: season and they're saying, well, let's see what happens. Because
Speaker 4: sometimes they can put a harness on you, and you know,
Speaker 4: kind of bandage you up to kind of keep it
Speaker 4: in place.
Speaker 3: That shows how much he loves football normally.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but normally when you tear a peck, that's it
Speaker 4: your surgery and and you're gonna need surgery eventually. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I thought watching Fossil Monday in the press conference when
Speaker 4: he was talking about him, and I think he repeated
Speaker 4: it like three times, he said, yeah, that really hurts,
Speaker 4: really hurts. Really, I thought he was going to start
Speaker 4: tearing up losing a guy like that that not only
Speaker 4: means so much to him on the field, but off
Speaker 4: the field as a guy that kind of takes care
Speaker 4: of the special teams unit. He's a minor to those young.
Speaker 3: Guys in the special teams unit. Of course, that covers
Speaker 3: all aspects of the team because every position group on
Speaker 3: the team is involved in some way on special teams?
Speaker 2: Is he the captain?
Speaker 4: They switch every week.
Speaker 3: But yeah, they haven't. If they were to designate a
Speaker 3: full season captain, he would be him.
Speaker 4: He's the guy, and that's why you know they had
Speaker 4: him on the practice squad for movement of the roster,
Speaker 4: but then basically he was the first one they signed
Speaker 4: to the fifty three. So yeah, that's a and not
Speaker 4: only that loss, but again losing him and then losing
Speaker 4: Van Dersh meaning Marquise Bell and jan Yer Thomas probably
Speaker 4: going to have to play more snaps. And those guys
Speaker 4: were big guys on special teams. So one of the
Speaker 4: things that.
Speaker 2: They're young, they are right, just right.
Speaker 4: And he was Mike was pointing out that, you know,
Speaker 4: and Malik Jefferson only has one more elevation and that's
Speaker 4: a linebacker. So that probably brings us to the Rashad
Speaker 4: Evans signing, but to the practice squad. So I did
Speaker 4: a little research on him, and he did. He was
Speaker 4: not with anybody, and I think what might have happened
Speaker 4: was where's my notes? When he played that season last
Speaker 4: season in Atlanta, he had only signed a one year,
Speaker 4: one point seventy five million dollar deal. He ended up
Speaker 4: leading the team in tackles with like one hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty nine. Now, I know from history the Falcons used
Speaker 4: to know inflate their tackle totals a lot, but it's
Speaker 4: said in seven laid a lot. I forgot that their
Speaker 4: middle linebacker used to be that had all the tackles,
Speaker 4: but he started all seven.
Speaker 3: But that's the that's the one in fifty nine tackles
Speaker 3: is what what the NFL has calculated. That was from
Speaker 3: the game. Yeah, that's from the game because I know
Speaker 3: because teams will do it, and that's where you'll see
Speaker 3: a lot of times with the Cowboys will have a
Speaker 3: different tackle total on players than what the league wide
Speaker 3: NFL dot Com has, which is from the game summary
Speaker 3: each right game statistics each week. And he had one
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty nine based on that playing seventeen games left.
Speaker 4: So I'm guessing playing for just one point seventy five
Speaker 4: million last year, he was looking for more money and
Speaker 4: no one was giving him the amount of money that
Speaker 4: he was looking for. And by the way, he's represented
Speaker 4: by Rosenhaus, so we can start right there about the money.
Speaker 4: Uh So, he said, that's why he was looking for
Speaker 4: the right situation. That evidently Tennessee, according to him, Tennessee
Speaker 4: and Atlanta wanted to resign him. So to me, that
Speaker 4: means but they weren't giving him the money he thought
Speaker 4: he deserved. So when he got the opportunity to sign
Speaker 4: with the Eagles, he jumped on it. And it was
Speaker 4: like they lost their starting outside linebacker Nakobe Dean. They
Speaker 4: had to end up placing him on injured reserve. But
Speaker 4: the weird thing was is that he he signed on
Speaker 4: a Monday. He gets there Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, I think
Speaker 4: it was or Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and they really didn't
Speaker 4: have a practice. They had like walkthroughs, right, and then
Speaker 4: he asked to be released. So for his one week
Speaker 4: of work there and he didn't do any work, he
Speaker 4: made fifteen thousand dollars, which was you know what his
Speaker 4: practice squad weekly salary was. And then he said, basically,
Speaker 4: this is what I was looking for when the Eagles
Speaker 4: gave him the chance. But then he asked for his release.
Speaker 3: So you know one thing that happened there. Nicholas Morrow,
Speaker 3: who started seventeen games for Chicago last year, he was
Speaker 3: he was in camp with Philadelphia. He was placed on
Speaker 3: the practice squad. They cut him at the end of camp.
Speaker 3: He was placed on the practice squad and he was
Speaker 3: one of those veteran guys that they did not want
Speaker 3: to guarantee his contract, right, so he got he got
Speaker 3: re signed. He signed the same day that Rashaan Evans
Speaker 3: was signed to the practice squad. Nicholas Morrow was signed
Speaker 3: to the fifty three man roster and he was ready,
Speaker 3: and so Rashaan Evans Is probably said yeah and tried.
Speaker 3: He had been in camp with him, so he was
Speaker 3: ready to play. And Rashawn Evans probably I'm just speculating,
Speaker 3: he probably did not want. He thought when he signed
Speaker 3: on the practice squad that since they lost to Kobe Dean,
Speaker 3: that he would be next man up. Well turns out
Speaker 3: Nicholas Morrow was next man up, and that's probably why
Speaker 3: he yes for his release.
Speaker 5: It makes more sense.
Speaker 3: And then he's waiting for an opportunity with another team
Speaker 3: because in this league, linebackers get hurt, and so he
Speaker 3: had to wait until this linebacker got hurt, and so
Speaker 3: that's probably what happened on him.
Speaker 5: So he's been signed to the practice squad officially.
Speaker 4: Officially right.
Speaker 2: Twelve pass breakups, five sacks.
Speaker 4: Had a good season, So that's what I'm saying. He
Speaker 4: just wasn't getting paid what he want.
Speaker 2: That's his career now, I be career number Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, twenty one tackles for lost, sixteen quarterback hits, five
Speaker 6: fumble recoveries.
Speaker 3: I mean, he was first round draft pick twenty two
Speaker 3: overall allena in Alabama.
Speaker 4: See, and he thought they he thought the Eagle place
Speaker 4: was good because guess who he played with when he
Speaker 4: was at Alabama defensive Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith, who
Speaker 4: with the Eagles. So he felt like this was a
Speaker 4: spot where I knew some people. I think the special
Speaker 4: teams coach. It's a big, long Italian name. I don't
Speaker 4: remember it.
Speaker 3: He was not Spagnol.
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't easy. You're Italian.
Speaker 4: I didn't write it. I didn't write it down. I
Speaker 4: could have pronounced it. He was at Alabama. When he
Speaker 4: was at Alabama, so he knew people on the Eagles
Speaker 4: team and staff and one of the reasons why he thought, Okay,
Speaker 4: this is the way to be there. But he only
Speaker 4: lasted four days so.
Speaker 3: Well, and he's run. He's run into what well Leyton
Speaker 3: Vanderish ran into it, especially with the injuries that he had.
Speaker 3: The market is not there for inside linebackers on the
Speaker 3: free agent in free agency, and he found out after
Speaker 3: even after one hundred and fifty nine tackle season that
Speaker 3: they're not offering basically much more than a little over
Speaker 3: the veteran minimum, even as a twenty seven year old
Speaker 3: with five years in the league. Yeah, and so that's
Speaker 3: just the we talk about the running back market not
Speaker 3: being a lot of money there, well, because of injuries
Speaker 3: the inside line. That's what's so remarkable about Fred Warner
Speaker 3: and him being able to do what he's doing. After all,
Speaker 3: he never gets hurt. Yeah, I mean he's I think
Speaker 3: he's missed one game in six or seven years in
Speaker 3: the league.
Speaker 4: And speaking of that market, when I was researching this stuff,
Speaker 4: I ran into this little note that the Eagles had
Speaker 4: not drafted a linebacker in the first round since twenty ten.
Speaker 4: It was Ernie Simms. So didn't he end up here?
Speaker 3: Yes, he was here for a little bit one year, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's the last time they used a draft
Speaker 4: pick that high on a linebacker. So anyway, we'll see
Speaker 4: when he's ready to go. I don't know if he
Speaker 4: gets here in time. And well, if he was here
Speaker 4: to work out because they worked out for linebackers and
Speaker 4: they signed him to practice squad, I would imagine, you know,
Speaker 4: I don't know how much ramp up he needs since
Speaker 4: he wasn't in training camp with anybody, uh and didn't
Speaker 4: practice with the Eagles, which means he hadn't done anything
Speaker 4: with a team since the beginning of January. The last
Speaker 4: game of the season in atlant You.
Speaker 2: Know, you good line.
Speaker 6: You look at linebackers like this and it's almost like
Speaker 6: they're always ready to.
Speaker 4: Go, but you don't want to get hurt, I.
Speaker 2: Know, but they always think they're ready to go.
Speaker 4: Right, said he was working I think if.
Speaker 2: I think he thinks that, I.
Speaker 4: Think that he's been working out in Fort Lauderdale. But
Speaker 4: we all know how guys work out on their own, right.
Speaker 2: Like us.
Speaker 4: You know, I got up a little late today. I
Speaker 4: don't think I'm going to hear this.
Speaker 6: As a player. Yeah, it was all about working out.
Speaker 6: I mean, if you're looking.
Speaker 3: At us, yeah, yeah, we think you get him us three.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thats why we're not here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're not like us. Yeah you have that initiative.
Speaker 6: We really don't anymore.
Speaker 4: I mean it goes back. It goes back to Odell
Speaker 4: Beckham junior when he was trying to go on with
Speaker 4: a team and he's saying he'd been working out, and
Speaker 4: he goes and works out and everybody's like, well, your
Speaker 4: knee is not ready yet to play, you know, his
Speaker 4: ankle or his ankle wherever it was. So yeah, well
Speaker 4: we'll see, we'll see where it goes Hopefully he's in
Speaker 4: the locker room yet one.
Speaker 3: Hopefully so. All right, we continue with more mix shots
Speaker 3: in just a moment.
Speaker 7: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and they snapped.

Speaker 4: He escapes left. He'll for a push down.
Speaker 7: Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important
Speaker 7: to have a team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com,

Speaker 7: been trusted by millions around the world to buy, sell,
Speaker 7: and trade crypto currency.

Speaker 7: Whether you're now to crypto or an active trader, they've
Speaker 7: got you covered. What are you waiting for? Get started

Speaker 8: You know that sound anywhere? It's the crisp crunch, that
Speaker 8: first nacho chip with its perfect cheese to sour cream ratio,
Speaker 8: sitting atop a layer of delicious beans. It's a sip
Speaker 8: away from perfection. That's what we're looking for. Add a delicious,
Speaker 8: refreshing pepsi, and we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana. Because while
Speaker 8: you can pile those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy,
Speaker 8: savory topping. There's no topping of cool PEPSI finish nachos
Speaker 8: better with PEPSI.
Speaker 9: That's what I like.

Speaker 3: two nine eight The Cowboys podcast text line. All right,
Speaker 3: we've got sad news to pass along. We had heard
Speaker 3: that yesterday that we had gotten some word that Walk
Speaker 3: Garrison was close to passing away. And the news comes
Speaker 3: down today that the great Walk Garrison, mister cowboy in
Speaker 3: my opinion, because you consider what Walk Garrison is all about,
Speaker 3: he was a cowboy as he was a cowboy and
Speaker 3: three times great guys, three time cowboy by the way,
Speaker 3: that's right. Oklahoma State too. Yeah, Well, and he's a cowboy.
Speaker 3: He's a cowboy by nature. He was a Lewisville fighting farmer,
Speaker 3: an Oklahoma State cowboy, and a Dallas cowboy. In Walk
Speaker 3: Garrison passed away at the age of seventy nine, and
Speaker 3: what a great guy. He will be sorely missed.
Speaker 4: He I got to know him pretty well. As a
Speaker 4: matter of fact, I think Chris and I when we're
Speaker 4: working on his legend show probably spent I don't know, Chris,
Speaker 4: what do you think two or three hours at his
Speaker 4: house in Argyle. Yeah, it's one of those log cabins
Speaker 4: that you they make, I don't know, Wyoming, Utuah somewhere,
Speaker 4: but it's out in the country and they and they
Speaker 4: take it apart and bring it here and then real nice.
Speaker 3: It was like you know how he paid for it?
Speaker 4: Goal Absolutely. He always said he made more money being
Speaker 4: a spokesman for school than he did playing football for
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. Uh. And and the house was like a museum.
Speaker 4: Part football, part uh his his actual rodeo career.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 4: He had a a couple of bit parts in John
Speaker 4: Wayne movies riding a horse. He told Chris and I
Speaker 4: about the story that John Wayne was filming a movie
Speaker 4: out close to a thousand oaks, and they actually hear
Speaker 4: John Wayne and some of the people came riding in
Speaker 4: two thousand oaks to practice, to watch practice on their horses.
Speaker 4: And for being in the movie, he got a rifle.
Speaker 4: It was a special rifle given to him by John Wayne,
Speaker 4: and he had it up on the wall and a
Speaker 4: glass case. Is pretty cool. But it's between the house
Speaker 4: and off to the side. Of the house. He had
Speaker 4: his whittling room. He learned a whittle when he was
Speaker 4: with the cowboys, and he still had all this wooden
Speaker 4: there and he would make all this stuff and he
Speaker 4: had it on the shelves and it's like, well, what
Speaker 4: do you do with this stuff? He goes, well, don't
Speaker 4: you know with his I don't know. He goes that
Speaker 4: these people have these these charity auctions and they want
Speaker 4: this stuff, and he goes figurines. So I've got one
Speaker 4: at the house, and it's he was.
Speaker 3: That good, was really good from scratch right.
Speaker 4: And it was like these three little stools like you
Speaker 4: would use to milk a cow, and he titled it
Speaker 4: stool samples, I think, uh, and he would just he
Speaker 4: would just give them away. It's like every time I'd
Speaker 4: go over there, he had to get because he only
Speaker 4: lived like five minutes from my house, maybe maybe two miles.
Speaker 3: And I don't know that we've done justice to what
Speaker 3: that log cabin really no, like no, it was huge, huge.
Speaker 3: I mean that ceiling was way up. Well, it wasn't
Speaker 3: a little log cabin that he's living in, and uh,
Speaker 3: it was like one of those you know how the
Speaker 3: Atrium Hotels are with the middle.
Speaker 4: So he had the upper stairs. Upstairs was just the
Speaker 4: kind of a walkway that you can see over the
Speaker 4: railing down into where the living room was. And he
Speaker 4: had this huge chandelier that was way up at the
Speaker 4: top right, And it's like, well, so what happens when
Speaker 4: a light burns out? How do you get it? And
Speaker 4: he goes, oh, I got a remote. It comes down.
Speaker 4: He pushes the button and it comes down right. But yeah,
Speaker 4: he and not to minimize as Bill said, he was
Speaker 4: a Louisville High School farmer, that was their nickname. And
Speaker 4: he was born at a hospital in Detton, but he
Speaker 4: lived in Lewisville. And the house he grew up in
Speaker 4: is still there by the way, and it's like almost
Speaker 4: kind of a block off the downtown area of Lewisville,
Speaker 4: but that's where he grew up. And he told Chris
Speaker 4: and I the story of his part time job was
Speaker 4: working at this peanut factory that's still there in Lewisville.
Speaker 4: It's by the railroad tracks and when you drive by,
Speaker 4: you can smell the peanuts that they're either cooking or
Speaker 4: I think making into peanut butter or whatever. So he said, yeah,
Speaker 4: and I had the job. On the weekends, he goes in.
Speaker 4: I would play football Friday night he goes. Everybody else
Speaker 4: would go out partying, having a good time. And he
Speaker 4: goes and I went to the peanut factory because the
Speaker 4: train had just come in and I had to unload
Speaker 4: the sack of peanuts into into the the I don't know,
Speaker 4: it's not I guess it's a factory. And that was
Speaker 4: his job growing up. The peanut factory still there, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I go buy it several times a week.
Speaker 7: But front door was amazing.
Speaker 4: His front door had all his like all his friends'
Speaker 4: cattle prods or whatever all over the door, right, and
Speaker 4: he had saddles all over the place on these wooden horses.
Speaker 4: Just I mean, it was a museum. But not to
Speaker 4: diminish his football career. And this part I didn't realize
Speaker 4: when when he was at Oklahoma State in nineteen sixty four,
Speaker 4: he was a second team All Big Eight running back.
Speaker 3: And he.
Speaker 4: He had seven hundred and thirty yards rushing, which was
Speaker 4: more than Gail Sayers had that year at Kansas, Right.
Speaker 4: And then in sixty five he was first team All
Speaker 4: Big Eight nine and twenty four yards rushing, one hundred
Speaker 4: and seven, receiving five touchdowns, and he finished second in
Speaker 4: rushing to Missouri's Charlie Brown. So he actually, you know,
Speaker 4: we look at him as a run a full back
Speaker 4: and he was a running back.
Speaker 3: Charlie Brown was a running back.
Speaker 4: Well see, you learned something more right And as a
Speaker 4: matter of fact, I think I read he was on
Speaker 4: he was on the Oklahoma State team that ended ended
Speaker 4: Oklahoma's I don't know. They had beat Oklahoma State twenty
Speaker 4: consecutive times and they actually beat Oklahoma by the way
Speaker 4: last time they beat him, probably right, but anyway, and
Speaker 4: by the way, as we get it to the Cowboys,
Speaker 4: he's also on the Cowboys Silver Anniversary team. He is,
Speaker 4: by the way, and took over for Don Perkins when
Speaker 4: because Perkins really was a fullback, so it ended up
Speaker 4: being Walt Garrison and Calvin Hill as the running backs.
Speaker 4: When he first broke in, and he told us everything
Speaker 4: about Don Perkins and how Perkins helped him make it
Speaker 4: in the NFL because he was only a fifth round pick.
Speaker 4: And you know, the legendary story about him is the
Speaker 4: part of his his signing bonus was in line, a
Speaker 4: single horse inline trailer, so he can go to the
Speaker 4: Rodeos horse trailers as a horse trailer. He still had
Speaker 4: it on his property.
Speaker 2: What are they going to do with all of that?
Speaker 4: I think they were trying to sell it, really the property.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean so the house itself.
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, I don't know how much that would
Speaker 4: because it's got a lot to be a museum now,
Speaker 4: Oh yeah it should, Yeah, absolutely right. And he told
Speaker 4: the story about not only did he get the trailer,
Speaker 4: but he had to get a hitch for his for
Speaker 4: his truck, right, and it was like two hundred and
Speaker 4: some dollars to put a hitch on there. He said,
Speaker 4: one day he came to work his rookie year and
Speaker 4: Text was like, where's it? Where's that? Where's that hitch?
Speaker 4: And he goes, it's on my truck. Outside he goes,
Speaker 4: I got to see what a two hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: dollars hitch looks like. And he said, Text walks out
Speaker 4: of the parking lot. He's got his tie on, his
Speaker 4: long sleeve shirt, gets on his knees to look under
Speaker 4: the truck to see what the hitch.
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 6: Yeah, why why why is it when we talk about
Speaker 6: texts that that's the only voice we can think.
Speaker 4: Of that's the only because that's it. That's the only
Speaker 4: voice I can do.
Speaker 6: I had to be nice at some point, right his family,
Speaker 6: but like, why is breakfast?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 4: It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 12: And since we're going on this, you know he was
Speaker 12: he was playing for the Cowboys and he was doing
Speaker 12: rodeo on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Night before that story, I didn't know and uh.
Speaker 4: And finally somebody wrote a story about it, how how
Speaker 4: neat the Cowboys would let him do that? And then
Speaker 4: Tom found out they didn't know, calls him and he goes, yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't think we want to be doing that. That
Speaker 4: that that rodeo stuff the night before the game, right, and.
Speaker 3: What ended his pro football career, Uh, rodeo exhibition steer
Speaker 3: wrestling accident.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he had and then so he didn't listen to town.
Speaker 4: And he probably made more money doing rodeo too, because
Speaker 4: he'd go all over the country. The last time I
Speaker 4: think we had him on the Legend show, he was
Speaker 4: starting to He ended up in a memory care facility
Speaker 4: in Fort Worth and he was going to do the show.
Speaker 4: I talked to his son, and his son said, as
Speaker 4: long as you don't ask him about anything about the
Speaker 4: cowboys today. His memory is great going back.
Speaker 2: So he was.
Speaker 4: Wondering how he was going to get there. He'd never
Speaker 4: been here to the Star, And I said, don't worry
Speaker 4: about it. I'll pick you up. And he's like, I
Speaker 4: got another call that day. He goes, so how am
Speaker 4: I getting. It's like, well, I'm picking you up, No worries, okay.
Speaker 4: So we drive out here and he started recognizing places
Speaker 4: roads and he told me the whole story, how he
Speaker 4: ma his wife that his wife's dad owned all this
Speaker 4: land and he just happened to be a guy raising
Speaker 4: horses of all things. Right, so they ended up getting married.
Speaker 4: He told me the whole thing. Well, we bring him
Speaker 4: here and he was great on the show, right, just
Speaker 4: absolutely great. And we get done and we grab something
Speaker 4: to eat and he goes, ah, I just get a drink. Well,
Speaker 4: next thing I know, all the ladies are around him
Speaker 4: at the fire. Right, I'm going walk. You still got it, right,
Speaker 4: And so we go back, go back to the house
Speaker 4: and it's a gated entrance in our guyle and from
Speaker 4: the entrance to the house is at least a quarter
Speaker 4: mile at least, and the railroad tracks run through his land, right.
Speaker 4: So we get there and he goes, oh, I forgot
Speaker 4: my remote, and I'm going, well, do you have a
Speaker 4: combination to get in? He goes, yeah, yeah, I got it.
Speaker 4: Well he didn't have it, and so I said, well,
Speaker 4: what if I climb over the fence and well the
Speaker 4: motion opened the gate because when you pull your car up.
Speaker 4: He goes, no, you're not big enough. And I go,
Speaker 4: what are we going to do? He goes, I'm just
Speaker 4: going to climb over and not walk. And I said, no,
Speaker 4: you're not. And you know it's dark, it's late, and
Speaker 4: I you, old, Well guess what. He climbed the fence,
Speaker 4: got over, and I'm going I'm coming with you. He goes, no, no,
Speaker 4: you don't you know now and he start cussing whatever,
Speaker 4: and I go, I felt like I was with my child.
Speaker 4: I said, okay, when you get home, call me. And
Speaker 4: by god, I got home. I was only five minutes away,
Speaker 4: and I called. I said, are you there? He goes, yeah,
Speaker 4: I told you he walked the whole way.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the train runs through his land.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 6: So he's there with all of this leathery cowboys stuff
Speaker 6: and the train runs right.
Speaker 4: Through his and it's a long way.
Speaker 2: It sounds just so typical. It's a long way from
Speaker 2: the house, but still you can hear it.
Speaker 4: And all there is there is a sign because there's
Speaker 4: no crossing gate or you know lights that go off.
Speaker 4: The train just comes ripping through, right.
Speaker 2: And it's a time piece man.
Speaker 4: And he's got he had a little small rodeo arena
Speaker 4: on his land.
Speaker 5: That's cool.
Speaker 2: That's just throwback man. It's a fantasy place. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I could go on and non bottom. He's he's absolute best.
Speaker 5: Nate and Frisco says that he's also a neighbor of
Speaker 5: down the street and that he always came to do
Speaker 5: the Hooters show. Love the guy named Frisco.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he when I when Nate was helping me with
Speaker 4: the legend.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and we.
Speaker 4: Were at Hooters and the Buffalo Wild Wings. I swear
Speaker 4: once a year we had him because he was so good. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 2: At the end of the he and had conversations.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm sure I bet that was all all right.
Speaker 3: There's a legendary, legendary poem. He was a rapper before rapping.
Speaker 3: He's a country rapper. And there's a legendary poem that
Speaker 3: we're going to play at the end of Mixed Shots
Speaker 3: that he recited and he was recited by memory. I
Speaker 3: mean you asked him, uh to recite the poem. People
Speaker 3: are funny critters and what would spit it out? It's amazing.
Speaker 3: And we had him on one of the Legend shows
Speaker 3: and we pulled that archive of that. We're going to
Speaker 3: play it at the end of the show. But Mickey,
Speaker 3: do you want to tell the line that Dandy Don
Speaker 3: Meredith had about well, yeah, okay, yeah, let's see if
Speaker 3: he gets it right here.
Speaker 4: Well, he had all these stories with Meredith.
Speaker 3: We were telling Savannah this story yesterday and so we'll see.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 4: Can I tell the other story first? So Rookie year,
Speaker 4: when they went on the road, Meredith would take the
Speaker 4: guys out to dinner right on him and they were
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh, I think it was, and they took Walt
Speaker 4: out and he goes, you know, I'm just gonna do
Speaker 4: what everybody else was doing. I didn't really drink much,
Speaker 4: and he goes, but they were putting down drinks. So
Speaker 4: I kept up with him and I was drinking and
Speaker 4: he goes, I never drink and he goes. I woke
Speaker 4: up that day and he goes, I had the worst hangover,
Speaker 4: and I figured, well, no big deal, because I don't play.
Speaker 4: I just do a couple of special teams plays and
Speaker 4: they never give me the ball. Well, the Cowboys got
Speaker 4: in the lead, and they took Perkins out and set
Speaker 4: him in in fourth quarter, right, and they kept calling
Speaker 4: his number, and he had to go out there and
Speaker 4: go out there ed he goes, I'm dying. He goes,
Speaker 4: I am absolutely dying. And finally I got into the
Speaker 4: huddle and I looked at Meredith, and Meredith goes, you
Speaker 4: dumb rookie. He goes, if you quit getting first downs,
Speaker 4: we'd get off the field. So anyway, Merrith, when he
Speaker 4: talk about Garrison, he would always go, he goes, if
Speaker 4: you needed one yard, we'll get you one yard. If
Speaker 4: you need three yards, will give you one yard. So
Speaker 4: the guy's a book, he is.
Speaker 3: There is a book about him once a cowboy. I've
Speaker 3: got it on my bookshelf at home.
Speaker 4: Will yep, very good, yep.
Speaker 3: All right, we will continue with more mixed shots in
Speaker 3: just a moment, and we will have people are funny
Speaker 3: critters when we come back.

Speaker 7: He'll look for a French down, just like football when
Speaker 7: it comes to crypto, it's important to have a team
Speaker 7: you can trust. With blockchain dot Com, I know I'm

Speaker 8: It's the crisp crunch, that first nacho chip with its
Speaker 8: perfect cheese. It's our cream ratio sitting atop a layer
Speaker 8: of delicious beans. It's a sip away from perfection. That's
Speaker 8: what we're looking for. Add a delicious, refreshing pepsi, and
Speaker 8: we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana. Because while you can pile

Speaker 3: Oh so that just got this You just got texted
Speaker 3: this message.
Speaker 4: And uh and so.
Speaker 3: That's probably they're saying that after he signed with the
Speaker 3: Cowboys practice squad they didn't like.
Speaker 6: But yeah, to figure this out myself, this guy seemed
Speaker 6: like he was pretty good.
Speaker 4: I'm giving you insight, trying to diminish it.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, we trust you.
Speaker 4: Probably why we don't trust him, why that's why he
Speaker 4: didn't get an opportunity to get off the practice squad,
Speaker 4: and probably why he said, okay, I'm out of here
Speaker 4: when they signed the other.
Speaker 3: Guy off the practice Nicholas Morrow.
Speaker 5: Right, So we'll see if he's in the locker room today,
Speaker 5: we'll see. How can they know, you know, we got
Speaker 5: to get to know the guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, how could they not know what? He didn't even practice,
Speaker 6: so that's my.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe he wasn't ready to practice.
Speaker 2: Maybe they just maybe that just don't want us to have.
Speaker 3: You got this information from someone someone. It's not you,
Speaker 3: philodeph after the man.
Speaker 6: You can't just believe that stuff. They're trying to salt
Speaker 6: our game. We can't just take that.

Speaker 6: I hope he's wrong back long so do they.
Speaker 3: By the way, they're playing in Philadelphia, you need to Yeah,
Speaker 3: you need to get this publicized out there. We just did.
Speaker 3: Didn't wear you that Philly was thought of him because
Speaker 3: the Cowboys are playing the Eagles coming up here on
Speaker 3: November fifth, second game after the file.
Speaker 4: He doesn't ask for his release before that.
Speaker 3: By the way, if these Rangers make it to the
Speaker 3: World Series, the Phillies have the advantage over the Braves
Speaker 3: or they Yeah, they're yeah, and we could have the
Speaker 3: week of the Philadelphia game, we could have the Rangers
Speaker 3: playing the Phillies and the World Series that week, and
Speaker 3: Game six and seven of the World Series would be
Speaker 3: Friday and Saturday November third and fourth, and the Cowboys
Speaker 3: play the at Philadelphia on the fifth.
Speaker 2: Just another reason for us to hate that.
Speaker 9: That's right, that's right.

Speaker 5: press box in the game track in the show.
Speaker 2: Forgive my ignorance is Saint Louis any good.
Speaker 5: They beat us last week in the preseason game at home.
Speaker 5: They do. Look, however, I just think it was an
Speaker 5: off night and we're obviously playing our starters.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: One other note on Walk Garrison. He's one of those
Speaker 3: guys and there's a number of guys in Cowboys history
Speaker 3: who I've always made the case that you know, of
Speaker 3: course the Cowboys have the Ring of Honor, but there
Speaker 3: needs to be And then Cowboys are doing this with
Speaker 3: at and T Stadium, where it's almost like becoming a
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame museum with vignettes and so forth that
Speaker 3: they have there and here at the Star in Frisco.
Speaker 3: But I've always thought there should be a Walk of
Speaker 3: Fame and for guys who like Walk Garrison, who by
Speaker 3: the way, was the third leading rusher in Cowboys history
Speaker 3: when he retired, I think fourth leading receiver when he retired.
Speaker 3: But those guys that made a huge contribution on the field,
Speaker 3: but also are iconic legends just from their character and
Speaker 3: so forth off the field. There's so many like that
Speaker 3: and favorite types.
Speaker 4: People in the organization that have done stuff for this
Speaker 4: team behind the scenes. We talked about that you brought
Speaker 4: it up about Marilyn Love that had been with Jerry
Speaker 4: since he bought the team passed away.
Speaker 3: But it would be cool where you could have a ceremony,
Speaker 3: you know, it could even it doesn't have to be anything,
Speaker 3: even on a game day, but even on a in
Speaker 3: the off season where you have a Walk of Fame
Speaker 3: ceremony and you get your star on the Walk of
Speaker 3: Fame or whatever.
Speaker 4: You know. Yep, so great. Could be a brick on
Speaker 4: the on the on the sidewalk, ye around the stadium.
Speaker 3: Okay, So we are going to close out this edition
