Thank you guys. 11 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Are you doing today? Doing excellent? So a couple of 12 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: I guess it was a couple of weeks ago, maybe 13 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: even a month ago. Now, you and I and Jerry 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: Rice and Dick Buccas did something similar for Twitter spaces. 15 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: But I want to want to run one of the 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: similar questions past you. You have Grace the cover of 17 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated many many times, but one of the most 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: iconic covers in Sports Illustrated history. I mean, you were 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: at the height of your powers, and so you are 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: in a pool, your pool, lounging on a float, just 21 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: looking cool as hell and it has become one of 22 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: the most reference covers in history. And I just wonder 23 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 1: what you remember about that and how that came about. 24 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: Obviously it was at the height of my career. We 25 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: may have just been coming off of our first or 26 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: second Super Bowl at that time. So and the blessing 27 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: of being knowns cover Sports Illustrated. Sports Illustrated at the 28 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: time was one of the biggest publications around, and every 29 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: every athlete wanted to be on the cover. And so 30 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: especially after you won a Super Bowl or led the 31 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: league in russ and it's something like of that nature, 32 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: it became an honor. And so Sports Illustrated wanted to 33 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: come out and shoot me doing an all season just 34 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: doing things around my house and so forth, just absolutely 35 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: just chilling our day in the life, if you will, 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: just archiving that way with the interview. And so they 37 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: wanted me to get into the pool, which I did, 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: and I happened to be on the floating and the 39 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: guy happened to go up top to the second story 40 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: just shoot down and he said, oh, this is a 41 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: look cool. Let me go up here and do this. 42 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: So he went upstairs at up top and starts shooting 43 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: down into the pool. I'm just floating around the pool, 44 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: my lit floating on and just relaxing, and there was 45 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: there's a shot. He got the shot he wanted. He 46 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: got the money shot. He got the money shot. I 47 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: think you're under selling it a little bit though, because 48 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: you're saying that you were just floating around in the pool. 49 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: It's one of the coolest things. I mean, it was. 50 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: It was too cool. I would imagine that your teammates 51 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: probably had something to say about this. Other people in 52 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: the league probably had something to say about it. I 53 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: bet you get asked about it a lot. Still here 54 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: we are talking about it. You know, I really don't 55 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: get asked a lot about it. But it was such 56 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: a cool shot that, like you said that earlier, it 57 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: became one of the most I don't know why it 58 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: is one of the most talked about the covers, but 59 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 1: it is an icond of photo for me. Is one 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: that questioned me out there in a totally different light, 61 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: showed me relaxing and a more soft decide of me. 62 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: But it was like to swim suiting the issue from me. 63 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: So it definitely was. And now you also have new 64 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: s I n F T S. We had Jerry Rice 65 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: on to talk about this previously. You're part of that 66 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: project as well, along with a whole host of just 67 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: like bold faced Names, shock me A Hamdwaine Gretzky, Michael Phelps. 68 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: Talk to us a little bit about that, why you 69 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: wanted to be involved in it, and what you think 70 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: about the new s I n f T S Well. 71 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: N f T S is becoming as such a popular 72 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: discussion around sports memorabilia collectible markets as well as the 73 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: digital markets. So when the opportunity presented itself and the 74 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: idea the concept came together with Sports Illustrated, it was 75 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: a natural fit because obviously they wanted to utilize the 76 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: cover of the Sports Illustrator that you saw and that 77 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: you talked about in reference earlier, but they wanted to 78 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: have an action shot of me doing something as well, 79 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: So it was a combination of both. It's kind of 80 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: cool to see how they were gonna put it together, 81 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: and so with jarr Rance and Big Buckets, as you mentioned, 82 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: as just a few of us launching that thing, the 83 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: n f T out it makes sense. Gave me an 84 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to be a part of something with fans alike 85 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: can actually buy into it and get shares of it 86 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: as well, so I'm pretty cool with it. Yeah, I'm 87 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: I'm still a little fuzzy on like the actual imaginations 88 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: of n f T s. But I have seen yours 89 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: and Jerry showed me his and they seem pretty cool. 90 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: So it's it's exciting to have you guys involved in that. 91 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: So you've got that project going on. And then, as 92 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: we said here, this is a podcast, so most people 93 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: won't be able to see it, but there will be 94 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: a video element.

I feel like we're 127 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: making some headway here. But I told you at the beginning, 128 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: before we started that I had a confession for you. 129 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna run this past you. So during those 130 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: years when you're lounging in the pool and you're running 131 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: all over the league literally and you're winning super Bowls, 132 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: not singular, but three super Bowls, you're at the height 133 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: of your powers. You're playing exceptionally. At the same time 134 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: that that's happening, I was a kid and I was 135 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: growing up in a city watching this happen, and the 136 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: city I was growing up in right behind me, next 137 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: to my Jerry Rice signed football. I'm gonna show you 138 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: as a Philadelphia Eagles football Yeah, Emt Smith. I wanted 139 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: to tell you. I've been thinking a lot about this 140 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: over the years, but I want to forgive you for 141 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: ruining my childhood because it was tough as a Philadelphia 142 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: Eagles fan to watch you guys and the Cowboys dominate 143 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: the Eagles so thoroughly. Well, you know what, Your apology 144 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: is accepted. Now you're supposed to apologize to me, you really, 145 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: I mean it was tough. Your apology is accepted because 146 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: you have accepted me now and you called them this 147 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: freak and it's hard to become Philadelphian free of a Philadelphia. 148 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: So thank you. Then, I appreciate you recognizing my talent. 149 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: That's been something set apart from which you guys had 150 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: on your team. So it's all good. I feel like 151 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: this is like a peace summit. We should have met 152 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: in a neutral country or something while we're here. Last 153 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: one for you, Uh, it's been a while since the 154 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys have experienced the kind of success that you experienced 155 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: while you're there. Yeah, you're making a face of me 156 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: the same page on this one. Tell me what's going 157 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: on with your Cowboys and what you expect from them 158 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: this season. First and foremost, our Dallas Cowboys has never 159 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: been anglet never, but even in the last twenty years, 160 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: I think we've had some very talented football players and 161 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: very talented teams. The things that has but me the most, 162 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: and if you look back over the years, I think 163 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: the consistency of what we are seeing, we have consistently 164 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: made mistakes, consistently beat ourselves, consistently put ourselves behind a ball, 165 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: and not developed the momentum that we need to establish 166 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: in order to build upon something or established the foundation 167 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: to build upon and keep building upon it until we 168 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: can't do it any longer. I think that's the difference 169 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: between the last twenty some years versus the first ten 170 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: years of my career with the Lads Cowboys. We came 171 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: out of the eighties and we was one in fifteen 172 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: and eighty nine with Jimmy coming in at the first 173 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: first year, and then we went seven and nine in 174 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: my rookie year, and after that we went on a run. 175 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: We built a team inside out. We built a team 176 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: that was focused. We built a team that was dedicated 177 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: and committed to the mission, and the organization was starting 178 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: to grow. We had very talented football players, but those 179 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: talented football players played together as brothers and arms, and 180 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: we executed to the Hodge level. We did not make 181 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes. We did not beat ourselves with 182 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: small tikie tag cling. These We had guys that can 183 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: count on the man to his right and the man 184 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: on his left. We were not out so listening to 185 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: become superstars. We was out auditioning to become champions and 186 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: dominant champions over and over and over again. We didn't 187 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: have to deal with social media. We didn't have to 188 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: deal with all those kind of things, but we had 189 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: to deal with other elements, elements amongst ourselves and elements 190 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: that things that were out of our control as well. 191 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: But we were committed, and we were committed even when 192 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson left. That's one reason why we won that 193 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: third in four years. So what I don't see is 194 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: the same type of mentality, if you will. I think 195 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: a lot of players, and I'm not just talking about 196 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: our Dallas Cowboys, I think the country itself has moved 197 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: and shift to this participation generation. Everybody get a participation trophy. 198 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: Nobody earned their right when you become a Dallas Cowboy. 199 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: You participate as a Dallas Cowboys history of the organization, 200 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: but you haven't earned the right to put your footstep 201 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: on the history of the Dallas Cowboys. I think these 202 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: players need to be focused on putting their hand prints 203 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: and their finger prints on the history of the Dallas 204 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys organization. Therefore they can set themselves apart from the 205 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: nineties team versus the current teams. And so it's been 206 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: twenty some years. Trust me, everybody's gonna celebrate you and 207 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: pat you on the back once you get back to 208 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: that place of being a champion, including myself, because that's 209 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 1: what I won't for you anyway. But until you get 210 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: your discipline right, you're focusing your commitment right on the 211 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: job in front of you, you might not get it. 212 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm not just talk about wanted to airs on some 213 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: of the whole entire team, including the coaching staff too. Yes, 214 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: Emmitt Smith, I love to hear you talk about what's 215 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: wrong with the Cowboys.
