WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Lineup Change 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:07.680 The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:17.560 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is nick Shot 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.760 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:26.439 Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:32.960 and Nicki Spagnola. Well, well, I'm sure not Everson. So 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:41.400 we got one old white sportscaster one and one black 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:45.440 former player. So I think everybody's got their roles. He 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.839 got one out of the three, right, And by the way, 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:49.919 that's what I was trying to tell you. Everybody's got 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:54.160 their roles. I can play my role, okay, and your 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.880 guy's role is to pay attention to me. Okay, okay, okay. 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.840 Because we don't have Bill Jones here today, we don't 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:07.120 have Everson Walls here today, so we had to go 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.680 to the bullpen. But in our bullpen, our depth is 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.840 so good. Yes, we have starters in there coming out 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:18.040 of a bullpen. Nate Newton right across from me. Brad Sham, 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:22.440 the voice of the Dallas Cowboys joining us special guest, right, 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.720 and how about this between the three of us, We've 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:32.560 been together for thirty four years. Wow, you showed up 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.959 in eighty six, right, Brad was already here by that time, 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.960 ten years. Yes, and I got here in eighty four. 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.800 So when you showed up the three of us, we've 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.680 been kind of doing something with these Dallas Cowboys ever since. 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.840 Thank you, and I appreciate it. I've been blessed and 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.720 we've been blessed to get to know who used to 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:58.240 be the kitchen. All right, well, we are gonna do 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:03.320 a little cowboy talk here on this Thursday. Need to 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.720 point out that the Cowboys finally got in a full 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.640 practice on Wednesday. It's been a while since they've been 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.359 able to practice, and they hit the pause button today 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:19.480 for Marcus Paul's memorial service. It was held at the 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:24.040 North Colony Church of Christ, which is in Colony, Texas, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:28.040 just down the road from here, and the Cowboys decided 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.560 that if they got a little football stuff in in 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.840 the morning, because I'm sure everybody had to show up 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.880 to get tested as they do on a daily basis, 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.760 they did a little bit of football and then they 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:45.120 paused and allowed the players to virtually watch the memorial service, 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.760 which I think was a really good idea. I don't 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.800 know about you guys, but when I heard Mike McCarthy 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.919 talked the other day about this pause that they've had 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:59.480 has given them time to reflect after Marcus's death the 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.240 day before for Thanksgiving. I think that helped out. I 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.880 think it helped out if especially if you saw the 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.440 interviews with the guys on Wednesday, you can tell it 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:13.040 the emotions were still pretty raw with Layton Vanderish the 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.320 things that he had to say, So I think that 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:22.160 certainly helped out. It was ended up being a ninety 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:26.519 minute memorial service and it was pretty pretty well done, 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.520 pretty emotional, but I think it was something that these 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.840 players needed to see. I don't know about you guys, 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.560 what your thoughts are on it, but I think it 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.200 will help out in the grieving process. Well, I don't 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.840 think there's And if you just want to know what 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:47.040 the impact of this event was, Mike McCarthy, I believe now, 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.280 and forgive me, because you're talking about Wednesday and Thursday 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.800 and I have no idea what the hell do right, 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:53.760 I don't know what day it is in real life, 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.600 and I don't know what day it is in football 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.960 week because I can go from if you tell me, 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.680 I got a Thursday game, Thursday game, then Friday's Monday, 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.640 and I'm good to go. But I had right now. 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.480 I got no idea what day it is, but I 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:10.280 believe it was Monday of this week, real Monday, when 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:17.640 McCarthy spoke right now, when he said, at like midday, 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.760 eleven o'clock in the morning, whatever it was, that he 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:25.000 had not yet watched the tape of the game before. 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.760 Maybe it was last Friday, maybe it was the day 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.880 after the game. Yeah, he had not Yeah, and he 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.880 had not watched the tape because he'd been on the 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.000 phone all morning talking to people from around the league 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.920 who worked with and knew Marcus. Now, when's the last 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.800 time you heard a head coach at like noon, the 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.279 day after a day game say that he hadn't watched 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.479 the tape. Yeah, I mean that's never. I have never 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.080 experienced that. And you can tell he was not over it, 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.640 and I'm sure a lot of those guys are not 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.040 over it. So I agree with you. I think they 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.760 needed I think they needed the time. Maybe you were, 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:02.479 you know, you would know better, Nate in the locker room. Uh, 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.800 if you could, you can just imagine somebody dying right 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.680 in front of your eyes. What kind of an impact 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.400 that would have on you is somebody like that who 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.080 you're around so much, you know, uh, you know, the 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.840 gruff guy. But coach Warsick was close to us, like 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.440 this guy, you know, and uh, you know, and and me, 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.400 I just I just say prayers to the family and 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.920 and and I hope that these players can get through 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.760 it in the coaches and you know, it's just, uh, 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:32.159 it's it's a sad thing when you lose somebody you love, friend, 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:36.360 family or whatever. So I you know, when I hear 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:41.200 things like that. Man, you know, it ain't like I 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.640 don't want to say that no one's important, but when 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.719 you have a guy that has to touch every player 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:53.200 and some coaches with their workout schedules, and he leads 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.920 these guys out on the field for stretch and brings 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.040 them up and when every injury, he's a part of it. 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:03.480 So you know, that's the impact that I can't even express. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.600 And so as you say sorry to the family, in 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.440 to his family, personal family, into the cowboy family, you guys, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.720 because every time I saw him, he was smiling, smiling, 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.800 and he spoke to me, and he was on the run. Yes, 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.400 he was always moving right, yeah, but he always had 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.400 a smile and He always had a nice word. And 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:26.520 you know, since twenty eleven with the Collective Bargaining Agreement, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:32.800 strength coaches have their hands literally and figuratively on the 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:37.680 players months before their position coaches. They're quote unquote football coaches. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.000 They're like the head coach at that time, right, and 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:44.880 they have them all year round. If you're hurt, you're 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.800 not maybe in a meeting with your position coach and 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.279 your coordinator, but you're darn shure with the trainers and 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.839 the conditioning staff. They just touch everybody. Think how much 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.840 time Laton Vander has spent with him after having the 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.320 surgery he had last year and then having to rehab, 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.520 you know, in the building, and because of the COVID nineteen, 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.360 the guys that were rehabbing were the only ones allowed 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.880 to be in there. And the strength and conditioning so him, 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.000 he and Marcus Paul and Britt Brown, you know, they're 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.680 they're tight. And then he breaks his collar bone and 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.400 now he's back in there working with those guys again. 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.560 You know, make there's a thing about um that you're 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.600 talking about why they needed the time. And it occurs 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.360 to me, we see these gay you and I we 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.000 see these guys and I put Nate in the category 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.880 of these guys. These are they all know they can 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.680 be injured when they play. They're aware of that. They've 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:44.240 all been injured in some degree at some point. But 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.520 this is not an injury. And all of a sudden, 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.840 these players, especially the players coach is usually a little older, 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.320 and they figured out they're they're not quite so immortal. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:08:03.520 But players football players have to, in my opinion, have 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:09.440 some sense of invincibility about them to go out and 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.080 play this game. You can't worry about getting hurt. And 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:17.160 that's the that's the ultimate thing. And you know, we 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.840 always joke about Nate probably lived a little bit of 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.880 this about guys in any sport who are active players 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.880 think of themselves as young men, as being bulletproof and 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:32.599 invisible right right, and now, this is not an injury. 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.440 This is a slap in the face, bucket of cold 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.680 water right in front of your eyes. You're mortal. Yeah, 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.880 And you know what it made me think back? So 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.240 what I did, and I mentioned it, I think on 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.080 our show a day or so ago or whenever, like 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.400 I said, I don't know what day it is. I 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.160 counted up. There's fifty three guys on the roster, there's 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.880 sixteen practice squad guys and whoever else is on injured reserve. 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.720 So we're talking seventies some guys, right, And I counted 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.200 up forty nine guys on this team are no more 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.680 than twenty five years old. Think back to when you 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:12.679 were twenty five and and think about you know, you're 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:17.839 you're you're not around death to young people or people 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.920 you know, maybe your grandparents something like that. But to 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.240 these guys, this guy was like a father to him 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.760 in there, and at that young age, you got to 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.480 deal with death. And I was thinking back to myself 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.160 and I only could think of one person was my 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.880 cousin's husband. My cousin's ten years older than me. It 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.160 was her husband passed away, and I remember being just 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.679 I was mad. I was like what, why and how 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.360 and how old was he? He was? He I don't 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:51.480 even think he had hit maybe forty at the most. 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.320 He was. He was a former marine, you know, and 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.840 it was like, God, what what's going on? And I 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.520 remember being mad. So yeah, I think it was good. 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.480 And I don't how close you guys got to Marcus Um. 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.040 You know, i'd see him, I'd say hi, right, because 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.960 the weight room is that's their domain, right, you don't 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.080 go in there. You just don't go in there. Um. 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.040 And I think the longest conversation I had with him 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:23.640 one day, so it'd have been two years ago. I 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.080 was showing somebody around and we were looking through the 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.360 glass wall to the weight room and the guy was 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.920 pretty impressed with everything. All of a sudden, Marcus comes 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.400 out and I wouldn't even know he knew who I was, 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.320 and he's going, hey, Mickey, Mickey, I go what He goes, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.800 Mike Weissick wants you come in? And I said he 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.640 does what just like that, right? We don't oisick? Right? Yeah? 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.640 Yeah ed? He says, yeah, yeah, come in. So we 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.280 kind of chatted as I walked in, and Mike was like, hey, 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.600 bring the guy in here, show him around. What are 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.920 you doing? And I was like, oh, okay, which, by 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.800 the way, that was the real right, that is right. 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:03.480 But the boy his exterior was don't tread on my 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:08.880 treadmill in here there. Yeah. And so what Marcus Paul 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.880 was was the real Mike Woyseek without the gruff. He 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.960 could be businesslike because he had to be, but he 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.959 wasn't great. He was just he was a sweet man, 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.080 and think about the fine line those guys have to 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:27.600 draw between being that nice to these guys, befriending the players, 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.360 but also saying, oh, oh wait a minute, now, you're 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.440 not getting away with murder in here just because I'm 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.480 friendly with you. And I saw someoney comment about that, 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.520 but really that was the longest conversation I might have 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.079 had with him. And I was sitting there reading all 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.280 the tributes, all the tweets, and I'm going, you know 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.800 what I missed out. I missed out on getting to 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:51.120 know a really neat guy because I just just wasn't 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.000 around him that much. And I don't know how much 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:57.120 interaction you guys. I mean, you know, after time, after 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.560 all this time, I really try to foster That's this, 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.560 by the way, the hardest thing for me about this year. 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.400 I really try to foster some kind of a personal 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.839 relationship with as many people as I can, because you're 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.240 gonna learn something and U and sometimes you run into 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:16.560 Marcus Paul who there's never an interview that you want 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.720 from him, right, there's never a quote. It's just you're 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.800 gonna be better off for knowing him. And so I 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.960 know him a little bit and we had several conversations 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.760 and he it's you can really understand why you were 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:35.440 completely right. They needed the time. Did you get to 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.400 know him at all? Like I said, I just met 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.080 him a couple of times. But the greatness did you 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:44.560 play again? Did you not play again? But let me 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:48.679 say this, fellas, I have nothing more to add to 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.920 take away because the greatness of a man is how 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.040 many people that that were miss him And it's just 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.280 not no one that's not gonna miss him. So that 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.160 showed you what's a guy was. Now some guys that 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.520 then went away and I'd be like, wow, okay, and 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.520 you go to bed, but this guy here, you pray 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.080 for his family? Yeah yeah, and and and it was 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:14.320 certainly tough on him, his kids, his wife. But anyway, 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.480 it was could you could you give us a list 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:20.040 of some of those guys who some guy that go 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.959 away and just go to bed, some guys pray for him. 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.400 But it was a it was a really neat uh 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.440 memorial service people talk to, you know, And before this happened, 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.160 I didn't put two and two together that uh Marcus 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.120 and DJ were teammates at Syracuse. Not only were they teammates, 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.120 have you yes, Have you seen the pictures? Have you 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:43.080 seen Daryl Johnston's quotes about Darryl wore thirty two and 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:47.479 Marcus wore ten. And Daryl tweeted the day after Marcus 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.200 passed he said, every every time they're in the same 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:57.040 class nineteen eighty nine, and Darryl said, every time he 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:02.360 walks past a clock and it's ten thirty two, that's 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.480 he said, that's me and Marcus he's ten, I'm thirty two. 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.640 And that's how kind that's the kind of an impact 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.840 he had on Darryl as a teammates. You said, co captains. Yeah, 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:17.200 and that's going back. Yeah. So eighty four, almost forty 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.400 years eighty four was their freshman year at at Sarah 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.880 excuse they got together. And I don't think I'm giving 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:28.320 away anything, but one of his h his Marcus's roommate 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.520 for those years at Syracuse, was at the memorial service 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.200 and spoke and they've they've been tight, and like DJ, 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.240 if you've heard DJ talk about it, he basically pointed 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.320 out that you know, you you get busy, right, and 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.480 you hey, we were close and we knew each other, 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.160 and he said, but not until he got here that 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.920 they kind of reconnect on a personal basis because DJ 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.640 was part of the expendables, right, the guys that would 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.960 come in and work out, the old guys Tony Tilbert, 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.600 and that they didn't drag you in there. They try, 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:05.080 they try it, but you know what, see who did 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:11.200 you turn down? Yeah? But you know, and once again, 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.160 it's certain people that I look at. If coach Jimmy 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:20.320 Johnson say nice things about you, well that's a pretty 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.920 short list. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So when I 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.040 hear you got like coach Johns, Wow, you know, Markus 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.840 tesched a lot of people. Yeah, yeah, he certainly did, 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.760 and and and and I guess I didn't realize or 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.040 take the time to read it about his career at 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.880 Syracuse getting drafted in the fourth round by the Bear. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.120 So you would have played against him in that playoff 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.480 game ninety one season. Sure. And uh that's why it 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.840 was so ironic that Washington was the team that the 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:52.160 Cowboys played when that happened, because Ron Rivera was teammates 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:56.800 with Marcus Paul Chicago. Yeah, yeah, absolutely so. Uh yeah, 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.400 his antenna when he got back into coaching strength and 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:04.720 conditioning with Wisik and New Orleans and then going to 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.360 New England, then going to the Jets, and then the Giants, 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.560 and I didn't realize he was with the Giants for 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.400 eleven seasons, won two more Super Bowls. It's got five 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:18.800 Super Bowl rings. Wow, it's amazing. But that maybe that's 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.920 the test of a man, you know, not what you accomplished, 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.760 but the trail that you kind of left behind and 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.400 the people you touched.

Not sure, Not sure? AT and T wants 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:03.520 you using some of the sub Yes, yes, but they 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:07.880 wouldn't make it to the mosaic. That's always an option. Yes, 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:12.960 So we returned here on Mick Shots, Mickey Spagnola, Nate Newton, 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.919 and Brad Sham joining us. Get him in on this 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.399 routine on the podcast. Nate and I have done several 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.280 shows together. Actually, Brad and I have done several things together. 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.080 So this is kind of like a old home week, right, Yes, yes, 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:31.720 it is. Wow. So the Cowboys, Um, we'll get back 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:37.160 to practice tomorrow. I believe that's Friday Wednesday. They did 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.840 have somewhat of a practice. Uh, they treated it as 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.119 the first practice back from a bye week. So he 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.320 went kind of easy on them. And then they did 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:48.919 something where teams don't normally get to do. They watched 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:53.080 the next opponent on TV. Had the opportunity to do 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.720 that after their meetings as by positions. Do you ever 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.640 do that with your teammates? Watch the next opponent live 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.960 on television? A possible opponent. We had a shot, I 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.920 think when Jimmy first got had to get into playoffs, 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.879 so we all admitted a Cowboy cafe. The last that 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:14.560 was the last game of the nineties season. You needed 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:18.720 New Orleans to lose. It was Green Bay, Yeah, somebody. 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.080 The reason that I remember is I did the game 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.879 in Green Bay for CBS Radio and they had to lose. 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.600 And then the Cowboys were in Atlanta in a rainstorm 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.960 and that was Babe Waffenberg's last He was talking about 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.760 the next game. Yeah, this was the Monday night game. 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.640 We needed them somebody to win. They needed the way 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.840 before the last week. They need they needed the UH 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:43.560 Saint Star lose to the Rams. And it was Monday 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.720 night and it went down to the last second of 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.600 the game, and I believe h New Orleans kicked the 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.320 winning field goal as time expired, and but they were 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.000 all there watching the game. But if you were at 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.399 Cowboys Cafe and it was nineteen ninety, we're any of 0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.359 you paying attention to the game. But we were. We 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:04.320 were into that game. And I'll tell you once we 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:10.399 saw that we wasn't in it, then later yeah, we 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:14.639 wobbled out. They run out of beer or crown or 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:19.399 whatever else. Yes, sir, seven and nine was going to 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.040 make the playoffs. Yes, so don't be making fun of 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.200 seven to nine this year. Right, you would have thought 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.439 that was the greatest thing in the world. As a player. 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.280 You you never give up as a player, You never 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.840 give up. You just you never know what happened. You 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.640 just never give up. And that's kind of the situation. 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.879 The Cowboys are in now at three and eighth, five 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:44.240 games to go, and they will return to practice on Friday. 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:48.240 So today is Tuesday, yes, yes, yes, yes, And then 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:53.840 you got Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. You travel, but they 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.520 normally practice on Saturday, which is Monday's Saturday. Right, so 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.280 practice and travel. So now I think I'm gonna now 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.399 I can. And the only problem now, now now I 0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:08.080 know that that Thursday is Tuesday, But the problem is 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:12.800 the Baltimore team that we saw yesterday was still missing 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:19.160 twelve or fifteen COVID patients, right, and they they can 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:22.240 get eight of them back, Yes, they can. Will they 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:24.439 get the quarterback back? I mean he's one of them 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:28.199 who can come back. Okay, The tight end Andrews from Oklahoma, 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:32.120 he won't be back, And the wide receiver who used 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:36.040 to be with New Orleans he won't be back, Snead. 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:40.000 And there's one other player who won't be back, a linebacker. 0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:44.800 The rest of them can come back. So um, I'm 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:48.720 not entirely sure how much good they got out of 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:53.520 watching that game in terms of preparing for what Baltimore 0:22:53.560 --> 0:23:00.080 can do or will do. Their center yesterday was a 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:03.880 rookie who has been on he's been inactive all year 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:08.359 and it was his first NFL snaps because their first 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:12.080 two centers are on the COVID list, and one of 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:15.840 those guys is their backup guard and tackle also, so 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.800 I mean all of that stuff's different. So joined the 0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:26.399 Cowboys boat, yeah, but same thing except injuries instead of COVID. Yeah, 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.640 on their offensive line, right on their offensive line. So 0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:32.320 will these guys see here's the key thing, though, do 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:35.320 they get back allowed back into the building. To be 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:38.600 able to practice for the game, because I start counting 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:40.800 days I don't know Jackson, and I thought it was 0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:44.120 getting pretty close to Yeah, he's eligible to play, but 0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:49.320 can he practice? You know? And that's a lot of 0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:54.960 work to you guys commin y'all because I'm not doing 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:58.600 that type of work to find out. So that's too 0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:01.879 much work, man. So you either can play or you 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:04.359 can't play. All I want to know is who lining 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:07.320 up on that day. And this is what this COVID 0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:12.200 world has brought us is today I can't play two 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.159
