And I mean the fomo 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.360 is real. And for those who don't know, fear of 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:16.160 missing out fomo, oh dude, like Draft weekend OTAs the. 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:17.280 Draft is your thing, dude. 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:17.679 The Draft. 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.920 That was the hardest thing to sit on my hands 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.319 for ever. And my wife even got mad at me 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:24.920 because I was at home and I was still like 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.759 tweeting and like sending out content, like putting stuff out 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.800 there and She's like, please get off the phone, and 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.000 I was like, I will after the two hundred and 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.160 fifty fifth pick, Like that's fine, I will get off 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:35.600 the phone. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:36.839 But after that's over. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.280 So, man, I cannot explain how how good it is 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:40.919 to be back. 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:42.520 The babies are all great. 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.640 They're all home, which is just so where you're so 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.600 thankful for and they are doing, uh, doing incredibly well. 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.200 They're growing and man, they're the cutest little things. And 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.520 I will cherish those these these last couple of weeks forever. 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.280 And but now it's time to kind of get back 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.480 to the real world. It's been Cloud nine for a 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.720 little bit, just hanging with the family, being around them 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.160 and things like that. But now it's time to produce 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:10.840 content again because the off season is pretty much over. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.560 I mean today, there's a lot going on today, what 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.000 off season, there's there's a lot going on today. We're 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.360 finishing up our shows this week, and then the next 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.800 time we're on a microphone, we'll be in Oxnard, California. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.640 So that's when it gets really i mean. 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.760 Imperative about this team, especially with the way that this 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.920 offseason has gone so far. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.040 But yeah, good to be back with you. Guys. 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:36.079 No, it's great. 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.280 It's great to hear your voice again. And I think 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.600 we've all kind of missed hearing that Kyle Yeoman's voice 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.560 on Dallas. 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:49.840 Yeah, let's talk about some of that stuff going on today. Yeah, 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.600 we've got some mandatory mini camp. And it was the 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:53.880 first word mandatory. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:54.560 That's interesting. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.680 There's an emphasis on that word. I feel like today 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:57.520 for a couple. 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.320 Of individuals, you got to be here, right, you would 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.320 be here and you have to be mandatory. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.160 That's not voluntary. It's different than. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.080 Military Randalorian, but mandatory. 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:08.360 Yet it's not Mandalorian. 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:09.839 We're not talking Star Wars. 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:10.399 No, Star Wars. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.240 Okay, we're talking about a young Jedi though in His 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:16.840 name is CD Lamb. CD now talking about CD. That's 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.240 that's who all the eyes are on. I know Micah 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:19.680 had his. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.920 Own OTA many holdouts. I guess you could say just 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.040 not be at OTA's, but that's optional. 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.040 This is mandamatory. So you would expect Parsons to be 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.600 in the fold. Do you expect CD Lamb to be 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.400 in the fold, especially after the news of Justin Jefferson's 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:35.560 new one. 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.480 And forty million dollar contra I don't. 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.320 I don't expect it. Now he might surprise us and 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:42.880 be here. And I know a lot of people might 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.040 feel some type of ways should neither one of those 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:49.960 gentlemen decide to show up today for the mandatory mini camp. 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.600 But everybody understands. I think at this point in time, 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.640 I think the general public understands now that business is 0:03:55.640 --> 0:04:00.280 business and there's a team aspect is not. I don't 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.760 want to say it's not personal towards the team, towards 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.760 the players, your teammates. They understand as well that if 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.120 you have to sit out to handle your business, that 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.840 it is not an indictment on your commitment to the team, 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.120 that it is simply you trying to make sure that 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.440 there's one opportunity that you've been working for for your 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.000 entire life, that that box gets checked, because for you 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:23.479 to not address it and have regrets later on, that's 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.600 one thing that you just don't get back. You got 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.480 to understand the amount of hours, you gotta understand the 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:33.000 amount of dedication, amount of sweat, the commitments that they've had. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.760 This is their time, and nobody on the team, I 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.000 would imagine speaking from a former player, nobody is going 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.120 to look at those two individuals should they choose not 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.400 to show up, especially CD. All right, we're talking about 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.040 CD in the contracts right now, of course, and say, 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.560 you know what, how dare you not be here during 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.159 the mandatory meaning camp, we have to be here, you 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.040 should be here. That's usually the public consensus. That's not 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.000 coming from the locker room. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.960 If you were in the same position, you would make 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.120 a similar business. This is absolutely, absolutely this is the 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.479 time where you make money. It happens now. They don't 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.679 have the privilege of getting money after they stopped playing. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.440 You know what I mean, This is where you build 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.960 that fortune, and it's a business decision and you have 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.000 to respect that. And I think everybody in the building 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.440 respects respects that, and the clock is ticking at this point. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:21.920 The deal's got to get. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:26.080 Done and hopefully hopefully you do that before training camp. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:27.760 I think you know it's going to I think it's 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:29.479 done now this week, will I mean, come on, you 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.760 think so, yeah, I got nothing going on this week. 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:32.600 Let's just do it now. 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:33.360 It happens. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.760 They don't involve us in those financials reach out to 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.200 but if they would have listened to talking cowboys, they 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.040 would have known that this this day was coming. Because 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.920 Ceedee Lamb's not the only big time wide receiver from 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.680 that draft class in twenty twenty that's waiting on a 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.159 deal justin Jefferson yesterday. Four years, one hundred and forty million, 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.200 one ten guaranteed. It it's basically the Dak contract. 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.640 That's what it is. It's the Dak Prescott deal. 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.440 I like the one team guarantee. But you know what 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.600 I liked even more. What's that eighty eight at signing. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.960 Yeah, that's guaranteed. Sign Yeah, guaranteed. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.599 It's sign your name and get direct depositive eighty eight million. 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.840 By the way, Yes, I know Dak was one sixty 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.000 and that's a little bit bigger. But I'm talking from 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.120 a team piece of the pie standpoint. It is a 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:20.640 significant contract, biggest non quarterback contract in NFL history. And 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.040 now that you've got two other guys waiting, You've got 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.920 Ceedee Lamb and Jamar Chase, and neither one of them 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:26.640 are in a rush. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.800 They're mister Burns in it right now again to get 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:29.239 it done. 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.400 But if you're the team, are you now in a rush? 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.040 Does this? Does this expedite the process? 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.680 I don't think so, really, I don't. I don't think so. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:39.200 I think now I. 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:40.920 Think it's already kind of a conversation. 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:42.800 I think it should have been a rush prior to 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.279 Justin Jefferson. Now that Justin Jefferson's deal is done, I think, 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:47.200 now you know the number. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.240 But I think they were very clear and that they 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:49.840 were waitings to. 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:50.320 Have to match it. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:51.919 Yeah, I think now, I mean when you look at 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.359 their stats. 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.039 I mean matching that significant. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.040 I mean, but you have to. I mean, you know 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.360 I'm saying, and every person that you allowed to get 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:03.440 their contract done was raising the it was raising the bar. Sure, 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.599 it was setting the new standard. That was it, right, 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.880 Like that's the market. Now when aman Ron Saint Brown 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.360 got his deals, like ooh, you better hurry up and 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.200 figure something out, right, you know, all these guys start 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.200 getting their deals, you had an opportunity. The Dallas Cowboys 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.720 had a window to set the market and say, hey, CD, 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.440 this is the highest for a receiver. But now you 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.240 let other teams dictate what that is. And now you're 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.440 putting CD in a in a very powerful position to say, well, 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.880 now look at my stats, look at his stats. We're 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.360 considered to be two of the best to do this 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.000 thing in the game. If he's getting thirty five, I'm 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.520 getting thirty five. If he got one hundred and ten, guaranteed, 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.000 I'm getting a hundred that and he's earned that right. So, 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.920 but you had the Cowboys had the leverage prior to 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.960 his comparison getting his deal. Now to his comp has 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.520 this deal. It's no different than you going to get 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.440 your property taxes at the house when you go to 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.640 when you go talk talk to the talk to the city, 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.400 and you say, hey, guess what I want to get 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.000 my tax They say, well, show me the other houses 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.640 in your neighborhood that are like yours. That's exactly what 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.680 just happened with CD and Justin Jefferson. Now Justin Jefferson 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.000 had just raised the market. Now to get how Cowboys 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:04.720 have to match. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:05.960 That eighty eight at signing. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.840 Literally it's gonna be I mean literally, I mean, yes, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.160 I you like, but like that is it now? Yeah? 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.600 It might not have bar it might not have been 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:17.600 the conversation before, but now it is. 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.800 Well, they did say, granted they were waiting for leaves 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.960 to fall as far as wide receivers around the league 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.120 getting their contracts, and this was the big This is 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.880 the the I'm gonna seel Patrick Walker's tweet here. 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:30.880 This is the redwood that fell, you know what I mean? 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.760 This is this is what you expect. 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:34.640 He's so articulate, he really is. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.480 He's got a way about him. But uh no, it's 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:38.000 facts though. 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.559 This is the one that you really needed to get 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.080 out there in order to determine how much you're gonna 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.640 pay CD. Their stats are so similar that the output 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.160 is so similar for both of them that that's the 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:48.760 number now. 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:50.640 And do you get even a. 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.000 Dollar more than you did to Justin Jefferson That whatever 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.600 it takes, but that is the number you're playing with. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:56.240 That is the bar. 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.120 What would you do with the CD LAMB contract? 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:00.800 I want to hear from the ten line eight one 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.319 seven two nine zero three two nine eight eight one 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.360 seven two nine zero three two nine eight Do. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.000 You pay him now? 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.439 Do you let him play out a year, which I 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.640 don't think anybody wants to do. No way, there's no way. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.240 But do you feel like this adds pressure? Is probably 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.679 the question I should ask to the front office to 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.720 get a deal done, because we know CDs party is 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.840 looking at that and saying, wait, maybe we can wait 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.280 until Jamar Chase's deal comes down. 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.160 I don't think Jamar Chase is in that conversation Will 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.079 has two. I think he's really good receiver, but I 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.360 don't think that he's dealt with more injuries he has, 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.960 and I don't think that that's to come right. I 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.080 think Jamar Chase will come in below that now Jamar 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:40.040 Chase is happy as well. 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.800 Doesn't always happen in terms of like ratings. If we're 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.880 talking like Madden ratings, I agree with you. I think 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.040 I think Justin Jefferson Ceedee Lamb are right there and 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.560 they're both very very good. Jamar Chase is probably a 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.120 step below there. But when it comes to contracts, it 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:53.200 doesn't necessarily go that way. 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:53.959 You're absolutely correct. 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.160 They can reset the market with Jamar Chase just as 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:57.360 much as they did with an. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.520 I don't foresee that happening. Yeah, you're absolutely correct. Can happen. 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.320 I don't foresee that happening. I do believe that Jamar 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.280 Chase is probably happy now because he's like, Okay, well 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.200 thank you Justin Jefferson. Now I can come in right 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.079 underneath you. You know, if that's the case, I don't 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.160 see him saying I should get more than justin Jefferson, 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.079 I can't see that. But in terms of the Dallas 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.320 Cowboys in a position that they now find themselves in, 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.520 I think that both them and CD are probably in 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.880 a more relaxed state now. And some people may not 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.920 agree with that, but I think that they were probably 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.000 more on edge prior to this deal coming across yesterday 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:32.400 because they didn't know in this real negotiations, right, you 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.240 want this now? I don't think we want that on 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.760 I believe that, And it's back and forth. But now 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.160 that you're literally the person that we were comparing you 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.280 to that number set Okay, now we know where're at 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.920 right now, we know we're at Now, it's okay. Now 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.600 we don't have to bicker back and forth. Now we're 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.360 talking about how much money do you want at signing? 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.640 Now we're talking about playing around with the salary cap. 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.160 That's what we're now talking about is no longer than 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.840 actual number. Now it's just how much money do we 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:56.800 give you in cash. 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:57.320 Piece of the pie? 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.280 Yeah, that kind of thing exactly, and how do you 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.120 fit that under acts contract as well? 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.640 And just with the cole is Aller gap. 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.280 Situation that you have at the moment, I think. 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:06.800 Some of the other Yeah, that's the thing is some 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.960 of the other dead cap situations and some of the 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.839 where this off season is really pointed to is this 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.360 is not an off season to spend, right, But if 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.800 you were going to spend, it's gonna be guys like 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:21.040 CD and Micah and Trayvon or not Trayvon Deron down 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:25.400 the road, right whenever they those contracts are coming, this 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:26.280 is the time to do it. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.400 I think you got to get it done. 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.120 Being brought up a really good point yesterday, it's like, 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.960 how much of the are the Vikings paying JJ McCarthy, 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.480 You know what I mean? That's that's that's a part 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:35.959 of why they're absolutely still done. 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.200 Do they have any dead cap with Kirk with Kirk 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.640 Cousins on there too, with him leaving this year. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.800 I don't know if they do or not. We'll find 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.840 the answer to that while you're looking for that. And 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.000 before we take our first break, we want. 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.480 To spend some time to remember one of the greats, 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:56.600 the legend Larry Allen, passed away yesterday or Sunday rather 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.120 at the age of fifty two. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:02.240 And honestly, you've seen it on social media. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.320 You've seen it on different platforms throughout the last forty 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:09.120 eight hours or so. But the amounts of respect, the 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.760 amounts of admiration, and the amount of sadness from this 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:17.240 moment specifically has all just kind of compounded in the 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.440 response from the league and from those that were close 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.319 to Larry Allen. And I first want to say condolences 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.880 to the family of Larry Allen and really what he 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.520 brought to the table, not only as a football player, 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.560 but as a man as well, because he leaves behind 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.480 a couple children and a wife as well, and he 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.560 was only fifty two years old, but the impact that 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.120 he had in those fifty two years will always be 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:40.960 remembered for sure. 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.960 Yeah. Absolutely, everybody that I've spoken to that has had 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.880 a relationship with Larry Allen has nothing but positive things 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.600 to say about him. Every teammate that he's ever had, 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.760 I know a bunch of guys that have played with him, 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.360 old school guys and relatively new school guys, guys that 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.560 are kind of in my realm at the end of 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.640 his career. They all had nothing but positive things to 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.880 say about it. Talked about his his friendship, talked about 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.640 his leadership, talked about his wisdom that he obviously passed 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.480 along to some of the younger guys that were up 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:13.080 and coming. You hate anybody passing. You hate obviously guys 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:17.080 who have had tremendous impacts passing. But the impact that 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.600 he's left not only for the organizations that he's played for, 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.719 but the entire league. You really feel that in this 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:23.600 In this regard. 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.160 It's yeah, it's incredibly sad, and you also feel sad 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.679 for the players that he played with and the people 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.640 that you know are in this building every day. You know, 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.960 I think of Nate automatically and it's just I can't 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.760 imagine how are breaking That is grind I haven't. 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.600 Tked to him about it, but I talked to him yesterday. 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:43.040 Yeah, that's you know, it's tragic, but still we'll be 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.400 remembered as possibly the greatest offensive lineman to ever be 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:47.200 a Dallas Cowboy. 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.080 One of the things that has been a positive, even 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.640 if you can just find the good in anything over 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:56.200 the last twenty four hours, is the amount of highlights 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.520 and stories that have come out with Larry Allen. And 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.520 of course we've had limited interaction with Larry. He wasn't 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.640 around the building a ton, but man, you feel like 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.280 you get to know him seeing the clips on the sideline, 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.040 seeing the highlight reels. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.680 The workout tapes. I mean we were just before the show. 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:13.680 We were taking a look. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.480 At the his been for reps at the combine and 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.480 just how special he was as an athlete. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.120 And that's one of my first memories football. That's one 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.000 of my first football memories because I didn't watch a 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.920 lot of football growing up. I wasn't a football player 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.440 primarily until I was thirteen. But you were more into badminton. Yeah, exactly, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.960 badminton pick a ball. But I remember watching that because 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.160 I like the skills competition. I'm like, this is competition. 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.200 I'm watched this. I remember seeing him lift that weight 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:37.720 and I'm like, bro, I don't know how much weight 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.880 that is, but this dude is moving that like it's 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.960 a tooth pick right now, and he's just a mountain 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.080 of a man. And you just hearing the stories of 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.400 how this dude you uhould throw guys around in One 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.080 of my ex teammates, Tank Johnson, posted on his social 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.560 media page yesterday about you know, his first time playing 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.560 against Larry Island and how he watched the film and 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.800 was it was shook to play him and if you 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.960 know Tank, Tank doesn't really get scared, so for him 0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.640 to say that, and then he gets in there and 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.960 and cracks a joke like please don't hurt me, man, 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:03.920 and like Larry just smiles at him. It's just cool 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.800 to hear these stories. Speaking with Nate yesterday, you know, 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:08.840 I've checked in on Nate just to you know, see 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.080 how he was doing. And Nate was just, you know, 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.440 Nate being positive. He's like, man, I'm just choosing to 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:14.520 remember the good times. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.480 And Brad Sham said it this morning. 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.400 I was listening on the way into the Flagship one 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.360 O five through the fan and he was saying on 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:25.800 the Sean and RJ show about he was just he 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.280 was so feared. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:28.560 From a front seven standpoint. 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.640 He's like, you would have these guys that were uber confident, overconfident, 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.600 strongest men in all of football, and then they would 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.840 go up against Larry Allen and they would just run away. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.160 It would cower at the fact that Larry Allen was 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.560 coming his direction and working that direction. 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:44.480 So it really was. 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.520 He was an unbelievable player. And even though of course 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.680 I was limited in my time of getting to see 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.360 Larry Allen you just know. Man, He's a legend and 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:57.040 he will always be remembered around this building. Also, it's 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.280 a good reminder to everybody out there, check up on 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.760 your friends, check out up on everybody, just because you 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.320 never know, You never know when something like this can happen. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.120 He was fifty two, he was on vacation with his family. 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.520 Things happened quick and out of the blue all the time, 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:11.520 and so you never want to. 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.800 Leave anything at any page unturned or turned. All the 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.960 waves while they're still still here, no doubt, No doubt. 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:24.440 Emma Smith even had a very tearful video he posted 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.360 on social which is hard to watch, but I mean 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.680 still a tribute to to a very special person, no doubt. 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.600 Rest in peace, Larry Allen, the legend, Larry Allen passing 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.040 away at age fifty two. All right, when we come 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.360 back from the other side of the break, I need 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.280 you guys to catch me up on the off season. 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.840 I want to since this is our final off season episode, 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:48.120 We're gonna go through the major milestones of this Dallas 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:54.200 Cowboys off season, the draft, free agency or lack thereof, schedule, release, 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.360 all these different things as kind of a Hodgepodge off 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:01.520 Season for Dummies segment coming up next to just set 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.320 everybody up for training camp, and then we've got a 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.240 training camp preview in the final segment when we come 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:07.800 back with more talking cowboys. 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:10.879 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.880 cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.800 online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.600 faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:21.879
