10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: studios at the Star, and we got good news for you, guys.

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: If you haven't heard, you've been under a rock. We

12
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: just got worried RN coming down that Ezekiel Elliott has

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: been granted a brief administrative stay. I guess is the

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: way that it's termed essentially meaning he's going to play

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: this week, like the equivalent of do we know that?

16
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: Do we know that he's in the building? That's what

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 1: I want to know, Not in the build? Actually, where's

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: this guy? At our man? Brian brought us did a

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: little reconnaissance and I just saw him as I was

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: coming in for the show and told me that check

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: with a couple of people. He is not in the

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: building as of yet. Um. And actually that's part of

23
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: where I want to go with it. Probably slept in,

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: he didn't think he had to work right exactly. He

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: probably is just getting a phone call like what hum what?

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: But UM, I think the the interesting part and I

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about this a little bit. Um. And

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: just as you kind of guys know what we're gonna

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: do today, we're gonna actually obviously we got a lot

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: to talk about here. We're gonna have on, uh, the

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: the attorney that we had on last week, mister Daniel Wahbock.

32
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: We'll have him on Walla. I'm sorry. We'll have him

33
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: on later in the show. He's gonna be on probably

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: in the second segment around nine fifty, UM, So we'll

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: ask him more detailed information about what this ruling means.

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: I know, right because I think there's a lot of

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: people that are confused about what this means for the future.

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: What we need to know right now is that he's

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: playing this weekend. And that's where I want to take

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: the conversation with you guys. Looking at the fact that

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: it's one thing when a guy's hurt and you're kind

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: of like figuring out is he going to be able

43
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: to play? Because the thing about that situation is he

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: actually is in the building all week for preparation, so

45
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: he's in all the meetings, he knows kind of what

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: the game plan is. He's figuring out what his role

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: would be if he's gonna play. And I'm David, don't

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: look at me like that. I'm not suggesting in any

49
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: way you don't play ezekiel Ley. What I am asking is,

50
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: do you think ezekiel Lett will be as effective or

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: do you need to consider the possibility that you play

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: Outfred Morris a little bit more because he has been

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: here game planning all week and Zeke has not. Yeah, yeah,

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if Zeke will be at his very best,

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: and you can't be prepared that he will be. So

56
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: you what you do is you get those guys ready

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: and just see how it goes. See how I mean

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: he could he could surprise us All this could you know,

59
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: be so exciting for him that that you know, maybe

60
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: it's not like he's that far removed from from playing

61
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: but not being focused all week long. If it didn't matter,

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: then you wouldn't do it. You wouldn't practice, You wouldn't

63
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: have meetings if they didn't matter. I do think he'll

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: play and he'll be effective. But I don't think that

65
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys should be prepared and just say, oh, well,

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: I can't be you know why, they shouldn't be naive

67
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: to think that he might not be as effective. I

68
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: don't think I buy it, which I feel bad that

69
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 1: I'm saying that, because we watched for the first month

70
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: of this season as the running game kind of sputtered

71
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: and started and stopped. But he just played a game

72
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon. It's so what it's been five days.

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: He essentially has missed two practices. Because I feel pretty

74
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: confident saying I think he'll be a practice today, right,

75
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean I would guess he lives four blocks away

76
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: from the facility, like he should be here in short order.

77
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: So he missed three days worth of meetings, he missed

78
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: two practices, Like, he'll be out there. They'll get him

79
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: up to speed, and he'll probably be here longer tomorrow

80
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: than he normally is. Big whoop, he plays running back,

81
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: give him the rock. I'm not worried about it at all.

82
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe maybe you won't have the best game

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: of his life. This is a really good opponent. But

84
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't this isn't enough for me to think that

85
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: he won't be just as effective as he has been

86
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: the last three games. I was about to have a point,

87
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: but I realized we're taking turns. He'll go. Boy. I mean,

88
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm not really concerned about his performance how it's gonna

89
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: be because again, to me, the way I see like

90
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: the running back position. I know, you need to prepare

91
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: against for the opponent you're going up against and all that,

92
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: but at the same time, and I know we watch

93
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: it from up high and it's different than being down there.

94
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: But I feel like if you see a whole, you

95
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: see a whole and you go for it, or you know,

96
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: you figure out which way you're gonna go. So I

97
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: don't think there's that much needed preparation for the opposing

98
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: team right here. I will agree with that, yeah, But

99
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: for this position, I think it's this, here's the part ball.

100
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: Here's the part though that that I do wonder if

101
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: it changes. We've been talking all week about you know,

102
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: I'll say for myself, I've been talking all week about

103
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: how I'd like to see this offense be a little

104
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: bit more diverse in what it does offensively, specifically with

105
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: the running game. So let's assume for a second that

106
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: the coaches have that point of view that they were

107
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: trying to do different things, and they've set up this

108
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: game plan that's going to do some different things, and

109
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: they've been doing with the expectation that they don't have

110
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Ezequel Elliott. That means that Ezekiel Elliott if he comes,

111
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: if what we know he's coming back, then one or

112
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: two things has to happen. Either they have to change

113
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: that alter that game plan to where it now is

114
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: more focused on doing the things that they normally do

115
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: with Ezequel Elliott, or they stick with the new game

116
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: plan and Zeke now has has a little bit maybe

117
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different role than what he's

118
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: used to. That's all I'm saying is this will be

119
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: I assume different for Zeke because I assume they change

120
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: what they did. Now. If you if you espouse what

121
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: the offense, there were a couple offensive linemens saying earlier

122
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: this week, we're gonna do what we always do. We're

123
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: gonna run the same players are gonna do. Yeah, if

124
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: that's the way they do it great. Why do you

125
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: think the offense is going to look drastically different. I

126
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: didn't say drastically different. I see it at all. I said.

127
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: I said I would expect that they would do some

128
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: things differently because they didn't have Zeke. Maybe they wouldn't.

129
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like this coaching staff to me. All

130
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: all that I would say is if I'm Gary Brown,

131
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: the running backs coach, I would just tell Alfred Morris

132
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: or Rod Smith because I'm sure McFadden is now going

133
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: to be an act of a game. He's not happy,

134
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: Well I shouldn't say that. He's probably happy for the team.

135
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: He seems like a good teammate. But yeah, like that's

136
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: just human nature that want to play. He said. I'm

137
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: a ball player. It's been frustrating. I want to play

138
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: with football, you know. But I mean, don't go far.

139
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean because this thing it's temporary restraining order and

140
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: so it may not last forever. And you guys can

141
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: talk more about that or when we get Daniel in

142
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: the line. But all I'm saying this is when, when

143
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: if I'm Gary Brown, I tell them, hey, you know,

144
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: stay stay ready, because if it may not be the

145
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Zeke that we've seen forever, and they may want to

146
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: do a little bit more rotating early in the game.

147
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: You know, he I'm not saying he's not gonna be

148
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: in condition for it. Mentally, he probably didn't know if

149
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: he was playing physically, hasn't done as much, I'm sure,

150
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: So just just stay ready. I mean, I'm saying, maybe

151
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: rotate one more series in that you normally would, or

152
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: you just kind of you know, you're you're just have

153
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: him on deck ready to go. But I agree with you, guys.

154
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be a big difference, and

155
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: I think he should be rejuvenated here coming into the building. Yeah,

156
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: I would hope, so I would hope that this gives

157
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: him a little bit of a boost. And like you said,

158
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: this is nothing. He can't make up whatever he missed

159
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: in game plan. You would assume he spends a little

160
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: extra time tonight, he spends a little extra time tomorrow.

161
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: Maybe even he was thoughtful enough and had the right

162
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: access to information to be able to do it on

163
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: his own. Like, I don't know if he's able to

164
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: do that or not. I don't know what the league

165
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: has about that. Yeah, I neither do I. But but

166
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't gonna say though that. I mean, like,

167
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: and we wrote to get the all twenty two from

168
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: the NFL, like we do, right, good? Yeah, all you

169
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: need is game pass, right if I can watch the

170
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: all twenty two of the Chiefs and right exactly, Um,

171
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna you know, we wrote this off. I'm

172
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday, Like, if you want to give me

173
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: a hard time about that, you absolutely can. This was

174
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like the equivalent of an Aaron

175
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: Rodgers hail Mary from like the thirty five, Right, I mean,

176
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: that's what everybody made at work. But he's had two

177
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: hell marries in one year, right, Right. But what I

178
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: was gonna say is, if I'm Zeke and I'm Zeke's

179
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: legal team, I would hope that they're not as surprised

180
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: by this as we are. You know, for the amount

181
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: of money that he's paying, they probably at least thought

182
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: there's a chance. And I hope there were people in

183
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: his ear saying like, hey, we're probably gonna hear about

184
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: this by the end of the week, you know, don't

185
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: don't just write this off. Don't give up hope yet.

186
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: So I bet he's not as blindsided by this as

187
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: we are. But I don't know that a team can

188
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: think like that, right, The team had kind of move on.

189
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: But the nice thing. That's the nice thing about football, though,

190
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: is like I really do It's a cliche, but I

191
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: really do believe that. Like they're just like, well, this sucks,

192
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: but here we go on, like it's just tone of

193
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: the day. With injuries football players is just tunnel vision

194
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: about every single thing you do, every step of your day.

195
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: You're just looking at that. And yeah, I mean, as

196
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: for all they care, Zeke twisted his ankle in that

197
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: game and that's why you can't play. So I don't

198
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: think it affects the team as much as it would

199
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: affect just Zeke's brain. You know, I'm sure it's been

200
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: a frustrating week for him. And then Friday morning, Hey,

201
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: you got forty eight hours to get ready, So would

202
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: you consider I know, Nick said he's already gone and

203
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: said he would would you guys consider using Morris and

204
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: Smith more in this game as opposed to just saying, hey,

205
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: he's back for at least this week. We're going to

206
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: run him like we normally run him, and we're not

207
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: really altering what we would have done if he would

208
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: have been active the entire week. I would get this

209
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: due to king size, family size box of cereal and

210
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: let him meat. That's what I would do. I would

211
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't like how much Alfred Morris plays

212
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: right now. I don't like that. You'd actually decrease it.

213
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: I don't like that third series in the first set,

214
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: in the first half, I don't. I never have agreed

215
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: with it. So no, I wouldn't change anything. I mean, like, yeah,

216
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: what's the difference. What is the difference other than all right,

217
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: there's some mental aspect to it, But what is the

218
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: difference between this and Tyrn having his back player up?

219
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: And it's only the mental part. It's only missing the game,

220
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: the meetings and the preparation. That's it. He's a running back.

221
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Give him the rock. I really, I don't care. That's

222
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: just me though, Amber. I would say let him go.

223
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: But that's a tricky question for me because just a

224
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: simple fact that Okay, let's say they put him out

225
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: there and you see him now doing as great. Do

226
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: you take him out? I don't think you would. They

227
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: would let him keep going, But then next thing you know,

228
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: we're in the fourth quarter. And the game it's almost

229
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: over and he's still weren't able to get all the

230
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: yards you needed. So that's a tricky situation right there.

231
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: But I would assume they still give him most of everything.

232
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: That's what I would think. I mean, if for any

233
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: reason his conditioning is not the same, then then yeah,

234
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: that's hard to believe it. Yeah, I know. I mean,

235
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, stay ready, that's all. I would just

236
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: if he doesn't do well early on in the game,

237
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: figure out why that is, you know, if it's because

238
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are stack in the box whatever. I mean.

239
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: I think they're the biggest adjustment here is the Chiefs

240
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: because on one hand, you're like, okay, now you know

241
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: that they're probably having to scramble a little bit. But

242
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: then you could say, well, what were they watching anyways,

243
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: Like what were what were they ever watching? Going back

244
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: in preseason games? Now, they were probably just watching Zeke

245
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: and saying like, all right, this is what they're gonna do,

246
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: and it's just not as dynamic of a player, right

247
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: Like I doubt I doubt the Cowboys changed that much,

248
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: and I doubt the Chiefs changed that much about what

249
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: they prepared for in all honesty like it's it's it's

250
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: a big deal because he's a great player. But I

251
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: don't think it. I don't think his presence affects how

252
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: either of these teams were going to play this game.

253
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: My opinion. Scrambling and knowing how I would assume, and

254
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: knowing how the NFL is full of coaches that think

255
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: of everything to the nth degree, it makes me think

256
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: that even in this situation Kansas City, knowing that this

257
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: was even a hell Mary, I wouldn't be surprised if

258
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: they were prepared for the fact that Zeke probably won't play.

259
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: But just in case he does, let's spend a little

260
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: time getting prepared for these guys turn over every stone. Right.

261
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: They probably went to the legal counsel like, hey, how likely,

262
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: like give us a rundown on this, put this on

263
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: our desk by Wednesday, And even if they said it's

264
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: a one percent chance, they probably had a little bit

265
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: of time where they said, you know, I'm going to

266
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: take a little extra time just to spend on that

267
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: one percent chance that execular Elliot's gonna play. Also, he's here,

268
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: he's here, he's in the building. He's in the building.

269
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: I will use that drop now awesome, So so yeah,

270
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: he'll he'll be at practice and let's gear up, let's go,

271
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: and fantasy teams around the country rejoice. I'm just happy

272
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: that I'm happy this happened at nine am instead of

273
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: nine pm, which is the usual timetable for these types

274
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: of a Friday night. Yeah, yeah, it would have happened

275
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: on a Friday, So a lot to do, all right,

276
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: let's let's do before we get to We got Daniel

277
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: Walla coming up here. He's going to join us at

278
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: nine fifty Central time. It's about six minutes from now. Um,

279
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: we do have a couple more minutes in this segment,

280
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: so I do want to really quickly just catch your

281
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: everybody up on injuries and inactives really quickly. Let's start

282
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: first with a couple guys that are still missing in

283
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: practice that we assume at this point, I think it's

284
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: fair to say will not play this week. We know

285
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey isn't playing, cheetahba A Woozier still not practicing.

286
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: He's not going to play, we assume, And so let's

287
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: talk about some of the other guys that are around.

288
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley now moved to limited in practice, that I

289
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: would think that maybe that means he's progressing in the

290
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: concussion protocol and there's a like, there's a chance I

291
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: should say that he would play this weekend. Is that

292
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: kind of the way you as it? As well? Watching

293
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: practice a little bit yesterday, I have a good feeling

294
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: that he will play. He's just you don't get to

295
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: watch a lot. I'm just saying for a few minutes

296
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: that we're out there but still running with the first team,

297
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: it looks like he's he's getting there. Yeah, unless there's

298
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: a setback. They don't see setback. Head injuries are always,

299
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be cautious talking about those, but

300
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: I kind of have a vibe that he's going to

301
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: play too. There are a few other names from the

302
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: injury report that get your quick opinions on Malie Collins

303
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: and Marcus Lawrence. Everything feeling like it's gonna be okay

304
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: there from the standpoint them being able to play. They're

305
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: both limited yesterday, but Marcus Lawrence mocked reporters who suggested

306
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: that he wouldn't play, So he's fine. Molie Collins was

307
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: there two weeks ago, same thing, so I think, you know,

308
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit different now here at the

309
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: Star that with the injury report. The injury report has

310
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: been affected by this awesome place that we have. You

311
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: can remember, I mean, if if you've been out here

312
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: at all, you've seen there's thousands of windows that point

313
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: towards the practice field. And what I'm saying is is

314
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: if a guy gets held out for a little bit,

315
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: then he's limited. That they have to be overly cautious there.

316
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: And you know every team in the league probably does

317
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: it differently. Differently in the NFL is kind of you know,

318
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: crack down on that. But just here, I mean, there's

319
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: so much visibility and you got eyes that are not

320
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: necessarily connected to the team exactly, you have to be

321
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: I think this team is overly cautious with their injury reports.

322
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: So make sure they're following these rule, the spirit of

323
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: law and everything. It could take. It could take a

324
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: whole series to come over here and fix a guy's shoe,

325
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, that doesn't have the right padding in the

326
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: shoe of the right cleats or whatever, and he had

327
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: he wasn't out there when they did first team offense

328
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: or whatever, so therefore he's limited. So all I'm saying

329
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: is is this team is overly cousture with that. We

330
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: shouldn't go, you know, to get overboard on something. A

331
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: great point to bring up. All right, let's talk about

332
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: an act is real quick. The think there are six

333
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: guys that I would say are pretty certain they're going

334
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: to be inactive. You guys, tell them if you agree

335
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: with this, Cheetah Bay, Dan Bailey, Benson Mayowa because that's

336
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: been kind of their thing. Uh, we only did it once. Well,

337
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: he played last week, didn't, Okay, So let's hold him

338
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: on the possible justin March lillard Um would be three.

339
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: You know, Byron Bell would be four. I don't want

340
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: to just throw Darren on there. Fad macfadden now, which

341
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: I didn't have before. Blake jar Darwin is another, and

342
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: then you're down left with one more that you gotta fine.

343
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: So if you wanted to look at the list, you

344
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: could do Benabian Wickery, you could do Justin Durant. You

345
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: could do Noah Brown, who's had a thigh injury that

346
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: he's been limited with all week. Who do you think

347
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: ends up being that final inactive? Ah Durant was still

348
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: limited yesterday, wasn't he He's not one hundred notes. I

349
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: don't think he was actually on the injury. Was he

350
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: not on it at all? Think it was full full? Yeah, damn,

351
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: because I was gonna say Kyle Wilbur's full too. So

352
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: like if Justin Durant wasn't totally healthy, you could definitely

353
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: sit him. If you write you have marsh Lillard yes

354
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: in the group yeah. Um. So basically it's between Ben Wickery, Durant,

355
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: Brown Mayoa. Those are the kinds of names that you're

356
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: looking at for that final spot. You could probably still

357
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: sit Durant if you wanted to. He doesn't really play

358
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: special teams. All of your main linebackers that play are healthy,

359
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: and Wilbur is full again and he's your special teams

360
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: ace linebackers. I'm a big fan of Justin Durant, but

361
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: I think you could probably get away with sitting him

362
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to. And or you know, Benson

363
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: Mayowa And in a week like this against this kind

364
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: of team, do you think they're gonna have a lot

365
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: more defensive backs on the field anyway, Which means that

366
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: you probably can get away with having one less linebacker

367
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: the maybe you would want against a team that's to

368
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: run heavy. It makes sense. I mean, I certainly don't

369
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: want any linebackers trying to cover Kelsey, that's right. Sure, yeah, yeah.

370
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if they kept McFadden active, though

371
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: it really really because of the Zeke news, because of

372
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: everything that's happening. I mean, that wouldn't shock me. I

373
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: think that you have to get your football team right.

374
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: You got to make sure that you have the right inactive.

375
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: So it wouldn't be the most responsible thing ever, But

376
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: no one Jason Garrett, and I think he might, you know,

377
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: just if it's the Noah Brown who's kind of banged

378
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: up anyways, and they're wondering, oh that is true. I

379
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: forgot Noah Brown. He's got a five injury. He's been

380
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: limited all weeks, So that's the one I would go for.

381
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: No Bro, that makes sense. I mean, would you we

382
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: need it one? So would you say Durant and I

383
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: would know Ah Brown and keep McFadden active. I would

384
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: leave Durant active, Mic Fodding in active and Noah Brown

385
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: in active. I feel I feel bad for McFadden that,

386
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: you know, he's kind of having the rug yanked out

387
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: from under him, But I don't I don't see any

388
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: reason why you need to make him active in this

389
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: game if he can play. Yeah, I mean I think

390
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: Garrett would feel bad too. Yeah, Like, but the justification

391
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: isn't just hey, we're feeling sorry for people here. No,

392
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: but but I mean, you know you got Morris and

393
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: Rod who can do those things if something is to happen,

394
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: or if he just doesn't look like himself. I mean,

395
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: four running backs is a lot. I just got a

396
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: roster alert that Rod Smith has been dropped by twenty

397
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: thousand fantasy leagues because I did get him. I actually

398
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: do drop him. I tried, I felt half to. I

399
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: tried to sign him earlier in the week, but I

400
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: just didn't have room. But if Zeke winds up serving

401
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: the suspension, I really do think he's gonna I shouldn't.

402
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna benefit off it. But yeah, I think, Oh,

403
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: I guess I need to move out for Morris out

404
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: of my line. Sorry, All right to talk about fans,

Speaker 1: kind these kinds of matters. He will talk to us

460
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: a little bit about some of the specifics of what's

461
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: going on with the Ezekiel Elliott case and the ruling

462
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: to happen this morning, as well as what we would

463
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: do going forward or what to expect going forward into

464
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: the future, next week and beyond with regards to this rule.

465
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: One of the interesting things for me at least is

466
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 1: as I'm looking at this, it's kind of like this

467
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: back and forth thing and I'm I'm wondering at some point,

468
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: like is next week even the time when you're really

469
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: gonna get some at least some finality for the temporary

470
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, Like, when do we

471
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: get to that point? I think that's the part that

472
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm really well just kind of find out. That's the

473
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: part that it's a little bit unclear on this. Well, no,

474
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: it's the part I'm waiting for it, Like, I just

475
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: want to get to the point where I have an

476
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: understanding of it. Here's what's gonna happen for the rest

477
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: of the season. You know, I know there's still gonna

478
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: be a court case that's gonna happen, But what's gonna happen? Like,

479
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: when can I find out for sure he's either playing

480
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: the rest of the season or not playing the rest

481
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: or table alone. You're like bashing the crap out of it,

482
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 1: anybody in here, Yeah, that we did that once already

483
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: this week. That doesn't mean we won't do anything. Um

484
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: you know it's woman for us, No, it's not. Um,

485
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: I well, I thought that was this week, which is yeah,

486
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to not speak in finality because I

487
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: thought that happened on Monday. I thought we kind of knew,

488
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: but as far. I mean, so this thing is going

489
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 1: to and hopefully Daniel can explain it better than I can,

490
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: but it's going to go to a three judge panel

491
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: on the second circuit, so it's it's a circuit court,

492
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: which means it's it's the same thing in New Orleans.

493
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: Three judges reviewed that, two voted against, one voted four,

494
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: So it's the same thing in a different district. And

495
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: I think if he loses that again, then I don't

496
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: know where else he's supposed to go. I don't know.

497
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't even know what happens if he wins. So

498
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm kind of in the weeds here at this point.

499
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: I hope Daniel can clear it up. Yeah, it's it's

500
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: so that is that will be reviewed on an expedited basis,

501
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: So I would imagine there will be another day like

502
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: this next week where another ruling comes down. So this

503
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: wasn't a situation like with the other one where there

504
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: was a two week no temporary straining. I mean, I

505
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: guess technically, I mean, it's a court, so they can

506
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: do whatever they want. But this was reviewed on an

507
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: expedited basis, and it took, you know, from Tuesday to Friday,

508
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: so it's a their discretion, but I would imagine they

509
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 1: will do this quickly to work within I mean, they

510
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,239
Speaker 1: gave him a stay so that he could play, like

511
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: That's why they did this, right, so so he's not

512
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: penalized before they can actually hear the and I So

513
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: I would imagine they want to figure this out within

514
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: the framework of football games. So I would imagine they're

515
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: going to try to figure it out before the Falcons game.

516
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: That's what I would guess. All right, we're gonna we're

517
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and move on until we get Daniel

518
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: on the line. Once we get him on Kenna, let

519
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: me know and we'll we'll get him onto the air

520
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: as soon as possible. In the meantime, Amber has a

521
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: game for us that should help us get prepared for

522
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: this upcoming came We can play it again. A lot

523
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: of these questions have kind of changed now with the Szige. Well,

524
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: we can alter them and give different answers and to

525
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: the same questions. I guess I don't know. All right, well,

526
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: let's start off with one. Will the Cowboys Wayne the

527
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: Torrent Sorry my English is I don't know what happened

528
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: to my mouth right there? Sorry? Will the Cowboys win

529
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: the turnover battle this in this game? I would guess not.

530
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: I would say no. I mean, the Chiefs have three

531
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: on the year, and the Cowboys been good about getting

532
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: the ball out in recent weeks. But I mean that's

533
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: a shotty offensive line in a monsoon and one of

534
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the league. And if I'm not mistaken,

535
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are plus ten plus ten, I

536
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: mean that's one of the best league. I want to

537
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: say the second or third, Yeah, they're gonna win the turnover.

538
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: So so I think everything up to this point suggests

539
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs win the turnover battle. Yeah. See Cowboys

540
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: win the turnover battle? Oh nix say the other way. Okay,

541
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: that's how they're gonna stay in the game. It's not

542
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a blowout. They're gonna stay in the game

543
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: that way. I would have said that before this news,

544
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: but now after this news changed, I think there's a

545
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: different way that you can actually stay in this game.

546
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: I think there's a there's a way that if you

547
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: can run the ball effectively, I think there's a way

548
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: that you can keep up with them offensively. Yeah. I

549
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: mean this is a good football team, there's no doubt

550
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: about it. But like they don't blow everybody out. I

551
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: mean they they they had the Redskins at home and

552
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: they needed, you know, a last second drive to go

553
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: down there and win that game. So you know, they've

554
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: had a tough, you know, a tough game at home

555
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, but they did win. So they win.

556
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: They're winning close games, but they're not blowing people out.

557
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: So I mean this this should be a close game.

558
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: It should have been a close game anyways. And now

559
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: with Zeke, we'll see. All right, we're gonna put a

560
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: pause in the game. I just got word that we

561
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: have our man, Daniel Wallack on the line. Daniel, are

562
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: you there, Yes, I am. Thank you so much for

563
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: joining us, man. We really appreciate it on short notice. Well,

564
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about nothing else but this for the

565
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: last hour, so right, and I've learned the story about

566
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: forty five minutes ago, and now it's just become viable

567
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: good news for Cowboys fand it wins for one week. Absolutely.

568
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: So here's here's what I want to start. I want

569
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 1: to start with just an overview of kind of where

570
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: what was the ruling this morning, and what does it mean.

571
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: I guess going forward into next week. We know he'll

572
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: play Sunday, but what does it mean beyond that? Well,

573
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: the Union yesterday file a reply brief to further support

574
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: their request for injunction, and at the end of the

575
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: requirement brief, they asked the Second Circuit to put a

576
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: placeholder to grant a temporary administrative stay just per Sunday's

577
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: game until such time as the Court can rule on

578
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: the motion. And that's what the court did this morning.

579
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: The Court granted Elliot's request and ordered that the day

580
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: be entered just for this Sunday's game, and that would

581
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: enable Elliott's to play. But at the same time, the

582
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: Second Circuit referred the matter to a three judge panel

583
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: which will rule. A court will consider and then rule

584
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: upon the main motion for an emergency injunction, and that

585
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: will probably take place early next week, maybe on Tuesday.

586
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: That christ then oral argument or are there simply could

587
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: be a written ruling space on the written submissions. In

588
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: either case, the court will likely determine and decide the

589
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: motion before the end of next week. So this order

590
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: is only for Sunday's game, and it has no bearing

591
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: or any weight on the merits of the motion that

592
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: the court will take that next week. So we're going

593
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: to take this one week at a time, So next

594
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: week that ruling is, or the ruling that we expect

595
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: to happen next week, will basically be to actually give

596
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: him another stay. It is not unnecessarily the appeal of

597
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: the injunction ruling that we already got correct. No that

598
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: the appeal of the denial of a preliminary injunction will

599
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: be heard by the court on an extradited basis that

600
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: will take a couple of months to play out. The

601
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: only thing the court is considering next week will be

602
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: whether to grant Elliot's an injunction for the duration of

603
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: the appeal, and that's the only ruling that the court

604
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: will enter next week. So we will likely learn the

605
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: feet of Eliot's playing status for the twenty seventeen season

606
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: by the end of next week, and next week's ruling

607
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: will dictate one way or another whether he has to

608
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: fix six games or whether he can play every game

609
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: for the balance of the over season. But a victory

610
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: next week does not guarantee Elliott any success on appeal,

611
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: because he could suffer the same state as Tom Brady

612
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: and have the suspension kicked over to the following regular season.

613
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: But I believe that the court is inclined to grant

614
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: Elliott an injunction. That is probably some indicator that he

615
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: stands a pretty good chance at winning the appeal. What

616
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: the league have the ability? Let's assume next week that

617
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: they do grant him the injunction to allow him to

618
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: play until the case is heard. Does the league have

619
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: any sort of recourse that it can take to appeal that,

620
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: because that seems to be where we keep going, like

621
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: there's one decision and then somebody appeals and it changes it.

622
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: Is there another appeal or is there another car that

623
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: either side can play After next week's decision, Absolutely that

624
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: the NFL will have one more arrow and ex quiver

625
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: to ask the Appellate Court in New York to rehear

626
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: and reconsider it's ruling next week. So, by way of example,

627
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: if the court grants Elliott a stay for the duration

628
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: of the appeal, the NFL might ask the entire Second

629
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: Circuit to rehear the matter in what's known as a

630
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: unbanked capacity, in all of the judges of the court

631
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: will then make the determination, but that's highly unlikely to

632
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: be granted, and I believe the consideration and ruling by

633
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: the three judge panel next week will be the last one,

634
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: at least to this regular season. A rehearing on Bunk

635
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: is like Hailey's comments, you know, they come along, you know,

636
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: once every so often, and I'm not sure that this

637
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: case rises to that level. Okay, So what they would

638
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: be considering I guess next week is really more about

639
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: whether because you said, the merits of the case are

640
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: not really in question next week, it's more about I

641
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 1: would assume that whether this could could create harm for

642
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: Zeke that he can that can't be repaired if he

643
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: were found or if he were if he ultimately wins

644
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: the case. Is that an accurate portrayal of what they're

645
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: going to be considering next week, Well, it's half accurate.

646
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: Are your reproable harm that Elliott would base from a

647
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: suspension that can't be unwound? It certainly a major consideration

648
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: that the court will will take up, but Elliott will

649
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: also have to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits.

650
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: He'll have to convince the court next week that he's

651
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: likely to win on his appeal, and if he can't

652
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: make that demonstration, he's not going to get an injunction,

653
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: no matter how much irreparable harm he has. So he

654
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: has he has to kind of make some kind of

655
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: preliminary showing on the merits that he's likely to be

656
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: successful on appeal. So the court will entertain all the

657
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: same elements that you know that Judge Taylor and Judge

658
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: Cotty and Judge in at least indistrict affects us, the

659
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: same elements irreparable harm, likely that a success, whether it's

660
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: in the public interest, and which side will suffer more harn.

661
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: That's called the balancing of the equities. So it will

662
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: be almost the miniature version of the appeal it's else.

663
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: So he needs to show some merit to his appeal

664
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: in order to get the injunction. And ultimately it was

665
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: the likelihood of success that ultimately Hall harmed him in

666
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: the last case, in the last ruling where he was

667
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: actually where he lost that ability to have the injunction

668
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: until time it was a clean suite for the NFL.

669
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: Judge Faylo ruled in the NFL's favor on every one

670
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: of the elements for an injunction like with it a

671
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: success orreperable harm public interest. Elliot got shut out on

672
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: this appeal, and in order to persuade the Second Circuit

673
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: to grant a temporary injunction pending appeal, He's going to

674
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: have to flip the script on each one of the

675
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: four elements and prevail on all of them. Not just

676
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: one out of four or two or three out of four.

677
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: He has to prevail on each single prong that is

678
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,959
Speaker 1: required to obtain an injunction, like with it a success

679
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: or reperable harm. The You know, Elliott has to be

680
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: considered the underdog, at least with respect to next week's motion.

681
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: This is only a one week reprieve, and I view

682
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: it more as a placeholder rather than any indicator to

683
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: way the court might be ruling for next week. I mean,

684
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: it didn't even assign a free judge panel yet, so

685
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: we have no idea which judges will be considering the motion.

686
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: This is simply an administrative stay that has no bearing

687
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: on the merits of the courts ruling next week. Daniel,

688
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: and thank you for all that information. I feel like

689
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm caught up now. I get the main thing that

690
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm curious about is with everything you just said, it

691
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: sounds like you shouldn't expect Zeke to win this next week,

692
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: which makes me wonder why did they grant him to

693
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: stay in the first place for this game? I mean,

694
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: what was the issue that they felt had merit to

695
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: give him this? Because Elliott once he suspended for even

696
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: one game, that's one game too many. The Players Association

697
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: believes that it should have gotten the injunction in the

698
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: district court and it should win on appeal. So why

699
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: should Elliott concede even so much as one game if

700
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: he's going to have to serve six games? Will let

701
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: him serve the six geams if the nfl TA runs

702
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: out of options? But it was a no brainer, and

703
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: the Elliot's legal team wanted him to be active for

704
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: this Sunday because it believes that it will get the

705
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: injunction before the second circuit, So why particulate even on

706
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 1: a single game? All right? Then, what about the appeal

707
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: makes them believe that they can can win? Now? Is

708
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: it just they're hoping they get judges who are more

709
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: sympathetic and understand things from their point of view better,

710
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: or is or are there are things that they think

711
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: that that judge Fayla actually made errors in her judgment

712
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: when she when she gave her ruling, Well, yeah, Judge

713
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 1: Fayla made an overreach in mind, and then she concluded

714
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: that Eliot would sufer no irreparable harm were he were

715
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: he to be suspended. And that's contrary to regions of

716
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: federal court decisions which recognize that a wrongfully suspended athlete

717
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: suffers irreparable harm, even if it's just for a few games.

718
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: So there's case law in this instance. There's case law

719
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: in this instance that actually backs all that up, tons

720
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: of it. To at it. You know, it's been generally

721
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: accept did that a suspension of even a couple of

722
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: games will irreparably harm a professional athlete who only has

723
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: a limited time in which to apply his trade, and

724
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, he'll miss out on honors and accords, and

725
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: the team would be irreparably harmed as we all, from

726
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: missing his services in the middle of the season. I mean,

727
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, it's certainly irreparably harmful.

728
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: But if you remove him from the team in the

729
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: midst of the regular season, that creates an abundance of

730
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 1: additional harm. But ultimately this comes down to fundamental fanness

731
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: and whether Elliott was deprived of fairness in his arbitration

732
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: by not having the opportunity to confront and cross examine

733
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: his accuser. And you know, the Players Association is may

734
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: to be hopeful of drawing a three judge panel that

735
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: might be more sympathetic to that argument than Judge Paylo was.

736
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: For example, if the Union gets Judge Robert Katzman, the

737
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: chief judge of the Second Circuit, you might recall in

738
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: the Flate Gate that he sided with Brady and the

739
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: Players Union on the issue of fundamental fans. So it

740
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: really does come down to lucky the draw, and if

741
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: they get the right three judge panel, or at least

742
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 1: two out of three good judges, it's worth rolling the dice.

743
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: I mean so much as at State here. Once he suspended,

744
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: you can't get those games back. So you know, hope

745
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: remains alive. And you know, as we've seen so far

746
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: in this case, the identity of the judge makes a

747
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: huge difference in the outcome of any motion. Daniel, you

748
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: seem to know a lot about these judges in their

749
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: in their history. I know a lot of the Cowboy

750
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: fans were wondering about was it Judge Fayla's husband, and

751
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: it was he somebody that that had had served on

752
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: NFL board before. Do you know any of the details

753
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, Judge Taylor is married to a lawyer

754
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: named Kenneth Saylor, who's a partner at Crosscower Rose, a

755
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: major New York City law firm, and Crosscower represented the

756
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: NFL in the Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations. They played some

757
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: role in the twenty eleven CBA. But then, my opinion,

758
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: that's just a lot of noise. While it does seem

759
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: inappropriate at a surface level to lay people, lawyers who

760
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: practiced in the federal courts know full well that that

761
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: is too attenuated to be a disqualifiable conflict. It is

762
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: perfectly appropriate for a family member of a judge to

763
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: work for the law firm that represents one of the parties.

764
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: That that happens in many, many cases in their decisions.

765
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: That every decision I've come across has found that the

766
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: judge is not required to recuse herself in that instance.

767
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Cross Gower is not even involved in this

768
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: case part of a two thousand and eleven negotiation. Okay,

769
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: it's too far removed from the instant controversy to pose

770
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: a problem, although I believe she should have raised the

771
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: issue with the players association, gave them an opportunity to

772
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: object to her retention of the case. Hey, Daniel, this

773
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: is a question that a lot of fans have been

774
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: sending in and wondering about. Kail Elliott sued the league

775
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: for defamation and just given the fact that he was

776
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: never charged or convicted, that has The NFL's domestic violence

777
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: policy makes clear that the criminal justice systems adjudication has

778
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: no bearing on the league's ability and right to suspend players.

779
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: The league wants to conduct its own investigation, and whether

780
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: he's acquitted or never charged is irrelevant. From the NFL's perspective.

781
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: They conducted their own lengthy investigation and reached a different conclusion,

782
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: and the collective bargaining agreement somewhat gives them this right,

783
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: although the Domestic Violence Policy and the Personal Conduct Policy

784
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: EDITIONE was never the subject of collective bargaining. All right, Daniel,

785
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: appreciate you joining us. That was really great information. We

786
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: hope that if more as more happens with this case,

787
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: we can pull you back in and get more of

788
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: your expert knowledge on this topic. I'd be happy to

789
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: come back attack on. Stay tuned. I think Tuesday will

790
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: be today, that the court might be oral argument on

791
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: the emergency motion, and it could conduct an oral argument

792
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: or critic rule on the papers. But we're gonna get clarity,

793
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: certainly for Elliott status by the end of next week.

794
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: All right, Daniel, appreciate him. Thanks, thank you, thank you,

795
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: thank you. That was just Daniel Wallack. He is a

796
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: sports attorney and a pellet law attorney in state of

797
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: New York, and it's given us some information there about

798
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: the Ezekiel Elliott case. I feel pretty caught up at

799
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, I kind of understand what's going on

800
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: a little better between today and a couple weeks ago

801
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: when he came on, I feel like I'm halfway through

802
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: one l Like I'm yeah, you know right, well that

803
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: would be you first year of law school. Yeah, sorry,

804
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: that's for you. We got three of them, yeah, the

805
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: first one yeah, um man, Yeah, a lot of information. Man.

806
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: My main impression really coming off that last question by

807
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: Amber right there, is like these players they gotta do something, man,

808
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: Like they're this. They gave up the farm and gave

809
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: up they gave up everything in that CBA. It's like

810
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: they were so desperate to not miss game checks that

811
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: they're just like, yep, okay, whatever sign. I think, honestly,

812
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: I think there were a couple bullet points that they

813
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: were like, this is hard, we gotta worry. They were

814
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: worried about percentages of what they take. You know, as

815
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: far as the players are concerned, I think there were

816
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: certain bullet points they were concerned about, and I think

817
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: they allowed some of the other ones that they didn't

818
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: really have the foresight to see what could potentially go wrong.

819
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: They didn't fight hard enough. Maybe for those I'm going

820
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: to play both sides of that's just for a little

821
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: bit though, when you're talking about about players that weren't

822
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: the court systems did not find them guilty of things,

823
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: and so therefore the NFL shouldn't jump in. The people

824
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: that believe that, just remember Greg Hardy. Greg Hardy was

825
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: there was a similar situation there. But I think most

826
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: people that followed that case realized why he wasn't found guilty,

827
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: and the NFL still weighed in on a suspended him

828
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: ten games. It got reduced to four, but he was

829
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: still served a suspension, and I think most people would

830
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: also realize or would think that it was deserved. So

831
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: just just remember you can't you shouldn't just be a

832
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: hard fast role on was he found guilty or not. Yeah,

833
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: but no, you're saying, but man tried for The league

834
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: just has a lot of leeway to do what they want,

835
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: And you're right. I mean, yeah, that's a really good point,

836
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: and they can do it for good in some circumstances.

837
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: But when you get when you met something like this

838
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: up and there's really no recourse for it, and I

839
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: mean there's nothing in the CBA that gives the players

840
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: the ability to fight back or any I mean, it's

841
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 1: it's very one sided. And I think the whole point

842
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: for me, Nick, in what you're saying is that the

843
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: legal system in America, the justice system in America, I

844
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: think is set up in such a way that it

845
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: recognizes that there will be a few that get away

846
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: with crimes in order to protect the rights of those

847
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: that would have been falsely convicted or falsely serve punishments

848
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: for something they didn't do. And what I mean by

849
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: that is, yes, in that instance, that would have allowed

850
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: the league to be able to suspend to Greg Hardy

851
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: but it also captures guys like Ezekiel Elliott that let's

852
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: assume that he's accurate in what he's saying, that he

853
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: did none of this right. It protects people like that

854
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: because then it gives them certain rights like the ability

855
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: to face your accuser, which he feels like he didn't

856
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: get that opportunity because he never got a chance for

857
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: his representatives to be able to cross examine her. Right.

858
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: So it's those kinds of things that when the NFL

859
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: gets into the business of doing investigations and now basically

860
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: trying players without having a real justice system in place,

861
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: then they're gonna be situations where they're going to be

862
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: players that may be falsely accused that because they're not

863
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: given due process, they end up being caught up inappropriately

864
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: and they're ultimately serve punishments that maybe they don't deserve.

865
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: Right And I understand that. All I'm saying is is

866
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: that it goes a little bit deeper than that. And

867
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: I think when we're in Hardy's one case, I think

868
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger is another case where you know, for various reasons,

869
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: they are not tried on this and found guilty. But

870
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not putting this one in that in

871
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: that category. I hear what you're saying, but for the

872
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: millionth time that since this all had like, there's got

873
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: to be a better way. Yeah, yes, there has to be.

874
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: And like I said, if the NFL were to tomorrow

875
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: wake up and say, you know, we're gonna hire a

876
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: company that we're going to pay between the NFLPA and

877
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: then league. We're going to pay them equally to be

878
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: able to handle all of this kind of stuff, and

879
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: that's going to be all they do. They're going to

880
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: understand investigations, the loss, the legal system, how to incorporate

881
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: that the right way. I'd be totally okay with that,

882
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: because then the NFL gets back to the business of

883
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: worrying about football and not worrying about this, and hopefully

884
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 1: that maybe keeps a lot of this stuff from from

885
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: having to be discussed and we can spend a Friday

886

933
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: the SWBC Mortgage studios at the Star. We're getting you

934
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: guys ready for the Cowboys Versus Chiefs. We're thrown off

935
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: a little bit because there's been some news in case

936
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: you hadn't heard, Zekiel Elliott as his suspension has now

937
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: been temporarily stayed for at least this week. Cowboys will

938
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: be able to have his services this week against the Chiefs.

939
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: And as Daniel Wallack, our legal expert as we like

940
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: to call him then that joins our show from time

941
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: to time, explained that will probably be cleared up even

942
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: more next week. They'll probably be a little more clarity

943
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: after a ruling that's expected to happen at some point

944
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: next week. I know what you're thinking, Cowboy fans, and yes,

945
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 1: there is gonna be more legal talk. Get ready, get pumped.

946
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that after next week, though, I'm hopeful that

947
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: he gets that he gets to play the rest of

948
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: the season. But I'm hopeful that at whatever point next

949
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: week they make a ruling. End, it's just kind of like, Okay,

950
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: that's it. When I do anything else this year, wait

951
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: till the whole case happens, and then going to next year,

952
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: you'll know if there's going to be more or not

953
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: more or whatever. So this actually when when you really

954
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: break this thing down. You know from AFC West battles

955
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They lose out on this obviously because they

956
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: have to face one of the best running backs in

957
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: the league. And the Raiders might win on this because

958
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: he was supposed to come back for that game in

959
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: Oakland and now he may not. Depend that's an interesting point.

960
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think what happened. So it's kind of a

961
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: win win for the Raiders there. The Chiefs have to

962
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: have to play. I mean, they have some work to

963
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: do to make that division race even interesting. You think,

964
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: like talking Raiders is just like, yeah, talking Chiefs is like,

965
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: oh we would of course. Like the Nick Eatman of

966
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs talk is like he's gonna play, He's gonna play.

967
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: They always play. They always play against He's in it

968
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: all week like now Al He's like, I was right,

969
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: they always play against the chief It's fine, who's that

970
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: guy of the Chiefs. I don't know. Go check it out.

971
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: I think the exactly All right, let's go back and

972
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: finish our game of c or no Amber. All right,

973
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: let's see we talked about the Cowboys possibly throwing the

974
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: ball more in case Zeke was out, but he's back in,

975
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: so let's just still go with this question. Will Dak

976
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: Prescott throw the ball down the field fifteen plus yards

977
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: more often? No? No, no, no, I don't often. I don't.

978
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't yes more often than see more often than

979
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: the Redskin game. To be honest with you, I don't

980
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: think that necessarily we're going to do that even without Zeke.

981
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: I think I think they were going to stick to

982
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: a game plan of trying to run the ball, and

983
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: whatever passing game they would have would be more of

984
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: a control passing game like they've always done. I don't personally,

985
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,479
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the greatest part of Dak's game.

986
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: So I think if you're trying to do that more,

987
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't seen it yet. I haven't

988
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: seen him consistently be able to hit those kinds of passes,

989
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: So I don't know that I would say that he

990
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: is that kind of passer to where I would make

991
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: that my game plan. It got lost in the shuffle

992
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: and it was raining because I'm not trying to bag

993
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: on the guy. But there was a and it was

994
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: a heads up play by Dak Washington went off sides

995
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: and he just chunked at the dead. He threw it

996
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: out a bound right like yeah, And I don't know

997
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: if that was accuracy or him just saying, I'm just

998
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,959
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of it. But free play, free play.

999
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: I would hope he's not just trying to get rid

1000
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: of it, like get it where deads can have a

1001
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: shot at. Right. Do you think those guys think of

1002
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 1: it as a kind like it's kind of a free play.

1003
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think that they definitely know that,

1004
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: Like they definitely see the flag up in the air,

1005
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 1: and they know that all the time, and so sometimes

1006
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: when they kind of just see out of the corner

1007
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 1: their either I think he jumped. I'm gonna I'm gonna

1008
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: throw this one up. I'm not gonna put it where

1009
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: it could be picked, but you know, I'm gonna I'm

1010
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna try to give des a chance. Questions did he

1011
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: see the flag flag as the play was beginning then

1012
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: you know it has to be a free play, right, right, right,

1013
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying sometimes I wonder about that. I

1014
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: get what you're saying, But Dak is such a smart

1015
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: guy and they don't take a lot of those types

1016
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: of shots. So for him to throw their ball on

1017
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: the same play that the Redskins get flagged for offside,

1018
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: I think he probably knew and probably give your guy

1019
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: a chance, which I just I don't. I don't think

1020
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,720
Speaker 1: that's the strength of his game. And you know they haven't.

1021
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: You know, they were throwing a lot of fifty fifty

1022
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: balls in the first month of the season and Bryce

1023
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: caught a few, but he hasn't had that with Dez

1024
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: all year and the rest of this The rest of

1025
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: what they're doing works though, so I don't see the

1026
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: need to force it. In two years, how many times

1027
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: have you seen Dak throw the ball deep and a

1028
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: guy like run under it, catch it in stride, touchdown.

1029
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: The only play I can think of is the Steelers

1030
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: Steelers Packers, Right, which Packers playoffs? Packers? Well, I don't,

1031
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, touchdown, that's right, Steelers, Packers, so left side

1032
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: of the field. Vikings. Vikings was an overthrow that should

1033
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: have been a touchdown, but he still went under it

1034
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: and caught it. Oh yeah, that was a nice one.

1035
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean, like they have sign they have proven that

1036
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 1: they can do it. I think, uh, what you had

1037
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: a bobbling catching the end zone and stride and remember

1038
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: does oh Chicago wait did they play last year? Oh

1039
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: that was like kind of a slant. I thought he said, Taco.

1040
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: I was like what he would let Jason is this?

1041
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: Is this also about maybe the kinds of receivers he has?

1042
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: Because if Nick you you would know this better than

1043
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: I would. But it seemed like to me we also

1044
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: people were saying the same thing about Tony until tera

1045
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: Owens arrived. Once arall Owens arrived, then you saw rainbows

1046
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: that he was catching and off and because he had

1047
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: two or three was here when when Tony came on

1048
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks right? So so but TiO was he seemed to

1049
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: be able to do that more with to than maybe

1050
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 1: with other receivers. My question is is it maybe about

1051
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: the receivers that he has. He doesn't have receivers that

1052
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: get the same kind of separation to where you just

1053
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: hains was as fast as he wanted to be right,

1054
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he really could go get the get the

1055
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: football and um, so yeah, I think he made those

1056
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks look better as a for a deep ball thrower.

1057
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's part of it too. They don't necessarily

1058
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: have that that guy here, and we've talked about that.

1059
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: But I also remember, I guess the playoffs, I mean

1060
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: the preseason, his first game against the Rams, he had

1061
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: a nice little throw to Terrence Williams, like on the

1062
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: left side like that. So I think if we're seeing

1063
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: a pattern here or it work, it's working to the

1064
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: left side. I mean a deep, deep throw to the left.

1065
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: Now that throw that he threw the des that you

1066
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: were talking about through the right the oh yeah, side

1067
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,479
Speaker 1: of bounds. And it's a good point. But maybe left

1068
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: side is throw it to the left. That's fine. Back

1069
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: and to the left wherever Mark, where's Marcus Peters on

1070
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: the right side? Yeah it is left? No, No, Marcus

1071
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,439
Speaker 1: Peters was on the he plays left corner. He plays

1072
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: left corner, yea right all day long. The other guy,

1073
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 1: Alex Smith throws his first interception. See no, you were

1074
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: talking about that. He's gonna kind of kind of feeling

1075
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: that they are going to do some things, might throw

1076
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: two wow, I'll say, is that because the Cowboys are

1077
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 1: gonna be that good or because like you just think

1078
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be Alex Smith at the end of the day. No,

1079
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: I think a little bit of both. I think one

1080
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: of them will be deflected. Won't necessarily be his fault. Oh,

1081
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: you're right crying over there, got some coffee on my face.

1082
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: I thought you're just crying. I'm just crying tears of

1083
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: joy because Zeke is bad. Is bad. Um, it's weird

1084
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: your tears are brown. I don't have that. You can

1085
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: just move on, move on, go ahead. Not at the

1086
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: worst moment of the week. Nope, not not even Dave anyway,

1087
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: not even Dag will score more touchdowns than Alex Smith.

1088
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: Dak will score more touchdowns to Alex Smith. I think

1089
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: that's tough. Um, basically saying he will outperform Alex well

1090
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: when you think about it, though different, though is different,

1091
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: all right. But the reason why I say that is

1092
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 1: because I think that I think that now that Zeke

1093
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: is back, I think a lot of touchdowns now will

1094
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: happen for Zeke that may have been otherwise touchdown passes

1095
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: or runs by a Dak. So, but that doesn't necessarily

1096
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: mean I think or or I don't think that he

1097
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: plays better than than Alex Smith. These are both quarterbacks

1098
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: that can run and pass though, right, So I mean, like,

1099
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: I can see the game see Dak having like three

1100
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: total touchdowns. I can see Alex Smith having like four. Yeah,

1101
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: and not not because he's just like killing them, but

1102
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: just because I mean, you can do both. I'd say,

1103
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: I'd say Alex Smith will have more. I forgot how

1104
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: you worded the question. But touchdowns I know, but I

1105
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: don't remember which one with the was the sea or

1106
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: the No. I think Dak will have. Yeah, Dak is

1107
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: going to have more than no dollars will hold Kareem

1108
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: Hunt under hundred yards from screamage from scrimmage all purpose, No,

1109
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: not all purpose, but scrim just across across the board. No,

1110
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: not right. I think they can hold him on a

1111
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: hundred rushing Sure they can. I don't think they will.

1112
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: Don't know, Okay, I say, if you're saying all purpose yards, no,

1113
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: if you're saying rushing yards, I say, see that's big though,

1114
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 1: because the Cowboys are what four and three when they

1115
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: hold I think this is right when they when they

1116
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: hold their opponent under one hundred yards rushing their four

1117
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: and oh and they don't it's oh and three. So

1118
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: it's pretty big that, you know, determining factor there Aaron

1119
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: who is Aaron? And John Jones from the Packers, Gurley

1120
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: and c J Andrews Anderson. So those three guys all

1121
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: all went over a hundred yards and those are the

1122
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: three losses. The other the other four wins that they

1123
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: did a nice job against the Backs. I actually thin

1124
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt will have a bigger day pat catching passes

1125
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: than he will running. And first of all, they have

1126
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: a chem Hunt and Kareem Hunt on the same team. Yeah,

1127
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: Keem Hunt, Yeah he's there. Seriously, He's like, he's like

1128
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: their number three back, A chem Hunt and Kareem Hunt.

1129
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: You know that actually makes sense because I saw I

1130
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 1: was watching the game and I saw a chem Hunt

1131
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, the guys butchered that name.

1132
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: They have thinking our press box guy all over again. Right.

1133
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh man, a Kiem Hunt's gonna have some

1134
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: plays in this game, There's no doubt about it. Kareem Shark,

1135
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: Kendrick and a Key Dricks Oh Shark, Hendrick West Yes,

1136
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: not a bad back. Feel bad for my guy Spencer

1137
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 1: where there anymore? Well, he got hurt in the preseason,

1138
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: and that's why Kareem Hunts is even doing that. He's

1139
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: still with the team. Whar's he gonna? Ir? He's on?

1140
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: I Koya's gone. Yeah, he's been gone for like twenty years.

1141
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: He's at one of their backs. I was looking forward

1142
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,919
Speaker 1: to seeing him this one nightmare. Yeah, all right, real quick,

1143
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,919
Speaker 1: we do need to I appreciate the game. It wasn't

1144
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,919
Speaker 1: as fun. Things changed, but you know it was still

1145
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 1: a good game. We were counting on having the legal

1146
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 1: debrief today. All right, so let's get to our predictions.

1147
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: Let's start with David Hellman. Give me a prediction for

1148
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: the game. You know, it's an exciting morning and there's

1149
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: like this buzz because Zeke is gonna play. And I'm

1150
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: tempted to pick the Cowboys because, like I really I

1151
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: think this could like be a boost for him and

1152
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: for them. Um, but I'm just I'm gonna stick to

1153
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 1: my guns. This is a really good team and a

1154
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 1: really good offense. I think the Cowboys are gonna play well,

1155
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: but they've struggled with chunk plays. I mean, the only

1156
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 1: thing that stopped the Redskins from hitting more of them.

1157
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: In my opinion, was the rain. I mean, Josh Doson

1158
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: had to drop past, that would have been huge. I

1159
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: just Tyreek Hill scares me. Kareem Hunt scares me. I

1160
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: don't know who's supposed to cover Travis Kelsey or who's

1161
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna do a good job of it at least um,

1162
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: so I think they'll play well. I think I think

1163
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: this is gonna look a lot like the Packers game.

1164
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: To be totally honest, maybe Alex Smith isn't gonna do

1165
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: what Aaron Rodgers did at the end of the game,

1166
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's gonna be something like

1167
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: thirty four or thirty or you know, twenty twenty eight,

1168
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, twenty seven is what I'm gonna say.

1169
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: And I think the Chiefs are gonna sneak out of

1170
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: here with a win, all right, amber Um, I'm gonna

1171
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: say o yea yai okay ah, sorry, thirty one thirty

1172
00:57:54,040 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs game goes to overtime, and why it's my prediction, Nick,

1173
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: you stay with your prediction, goes into overtime and thirty

1174
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: one the mats no, no, the MAT's not gonna work

1175
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: on thirty whatever it's gonna be between the thirty and

1176
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: thirty four. Okay, it's gonna be TI going to overtime

1177
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: thirty thirty four. I don't know what happens, but he

1178
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: goes to overtime and Chiefs win and a crazy play.

1179
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is your crazy prediction that the Cowboys win?

1180
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: How you confused me? I'm sorry, Nick, I'm gonna say.

1181
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Chiefs will win thirty eight thirty five.

1182
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: It'll be it'll be one of those wild shoot dot

1183
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: games like you guys are talking about. But I I

1184
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: everything you said about those guys, I just don't see

1185
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: him stopping them on defense. I just don't see the

1186
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense really stopping him. So we'll see. I mean,

1187
00:58:55,560 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: the Zeke could really rejuvenate this whole team, um, and

1188
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: it'll be a fun atmosphere. But I mean the Chiefs,

1189
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: like I said all week, will be a lot of

1190
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: fans there. It's gonna be wild crazy. I think the

1191
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs are just too dominant on offense, So those interceptions

1192
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: you were talking about are not gonna they'll be a

1193
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: game changer in favor of the Cowboys. Yeah, it prevents

1194
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: it from scoring fifty. So yeah, thirty eight thirty five,

1195
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: they'll have some picks, just like Jeff Heath had. Those

1196
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: two picks against Aaron Rodgers didn't really help. I think

1197
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: it's I think it's gonna be close, just like you

1198
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: guys say, I do think the Cowboys can pull it off.

1199
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: Before I was prepared coming into this show that I

1200
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: was thinking that the Chiefs were gonna win. But with

1201
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: Zeke back, I think this team can beat any team

1202
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 1: in the league with Zeke in the lineup, because I

1203
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: think offensively they can score with anybody, and especially if

1204
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: you're not worrying about the quarterback being Aaron Rodgers, that

1205
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: makes just these unbelievable plays to win games. And again,

1206
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: I only think there are probably two or three of

1207
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: those guys in the NFL. That's nothing against Alex Smith.

1208
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: I think he's a really good quarterback. I think he's

1209
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: playing phenomenally this year. However, I don't think he's Aaron Rodgers,

1210
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: and I think that this offense can match with them,

1211
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: and I think they end up winning. Thirty eight thirty four.

1212
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: All Right, we appreciate you guys, Johnis. We'll back on Monday.

1213
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: We'll tell you guys what went right and what went

1214
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: wrong for the Cowboys. Make sure you check out the

1215
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 1: game on Sunday till then for Nick even Dave Hellmant

1216
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: amber Garcia. I'm Derek Eagles and this has been the

1217
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: break live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. To step up,

1218
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: because I don't think you're gonna change too much about

1219
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: the way you play football. I think that you would

1220
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: be a fool to think all of a sudden, Daz

1221
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: is gonna start giving you ten catches for one hundred

1222
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: and fifty yards a game. Since Dak has taken over

1223
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: at quarterback, we said this that week one or week

1224
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: two of the season, Das has averaged three points something yards. Again,

1225
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: three point something catches a game for fifty yards. It's

1226
01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 1: not gonna change miraculously.
