Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is nick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys app. Now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. Okay, it is the day before ar Dallas.
Speaker 1: A little slow on the trigger, were you? We were
Speaker 1: smoke with my head? There we go, stand up. Stamp
Speaker 1: doesn't have two straight stampoys. Stampbeaded through Minneapolis then headed
Speaker 1: down thirty five. You know you go, I thirty five
Speaker 1: all the way from Minneapolis to Dallas. Four Here it is.
Speaker 1: The Stampede is headed the AT and T Stadium Thursday afternoon,
Speaker 1: Tomorrow afternoon at three thirty. Bill Jones, Everson Walls, Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 1: He has not looked up from his legal pad as
Speaker 1: he is feverishly writing notes in it. He is in it,
Speaker 1: So okay, get close to the microphones so we can
Speaker 1: try and figure out how official this is. But somebody
Speaker 1: tweeted out at four of the giants five starting offensive
Speaker 1: linemen have been ruled out on their official injury report.
Speaker 1: So you've seen the official you haven't. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: the official somebody tweeted it out, somebody Joe Leonard or Lenar.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the guy's name was. Somebody just
Speaker 1: showed it to me, okay, and I kept looking for it.
Speaker 1: All right, I've got I've found it on New Jersey
Speaker 1: dot com here. Uh. And the Giants offensive line is
Speaker 1: a mess. Entering Thursday's Thanksgiving showdown. Before releasing their final
Speaker 1: injury report, the Giants announced that these players would not
Speaker 1: travel with the team to Dallas. That means they are
Speaker 1: out Josh Azuda, starting left left guard, center John Feliciano
Speaker 1: neck out, starting right tackle Evan Neil knee out. And
Speaker 1: I guess they start two left guards and left guard
Speaker 1: Shane Lemieux toe out. Well, they've got Lemieux um listed
Speaker 1: to something. They've got no hang on, hang on. Lemieux
Speaker 1: is listed as their backup left guard. I think that
Speaker 1: the start to start the season he was going to
Speaker 1: be their starting left guard, and he started the year on.
Speaker 1: I R. Well, they're both out, okay, and um so
Speaker 1: Glowinski their right guard should be good to go. And
Speaker 1: it didn't list Andrew Thomas is that right left he
Speaker 1: had you know, what. He didn't practice yesterday to illness.
Speaker 1: He had an illness, so we'll see what he's playing
Speaker 1: at US. He is one that the okay, so the
Speaker 1: twenty percent of the offensive line that is healthy is sick.
Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas yes, yes, and he's played very well this year.
Speaker 1: So that was just kind of along with now on
Speaker 1: these guys weren't listed, but they're starting tight end. Daniel
Speaker 1: Bellinger did not practice the last two he's out well,
Speaker 1: I just said he was. Yeah, he's dealing with double
Speaker 1: V out right now. It sounds like Michael Irvin with
Speaker 1: the school clo closed closed. Uh, Fabian Munroe Moreau, Yes, right,
Speaker 1: he was DNP the last two days. Um, not ruling
Speaker 1: him out yet, not ruling him out yet. One of
Speaker 1: their other their back up to Evan Neil Tyree Phillips
Speaker 1: has not practiced well. They moved him to limited so
Speaker 1: maybe he's got a chance. Uh. And they had another
Speaker 1: dB oh a diary a Dory Jackson. Dory Jackson. I
Speaker 1: think they've already listed him. He's out out ye. Wandel
Speaker 1: Robinson Robinson out Now we're not you know what, you
Speaker 1: don't sound like you're giving them you know you're not
Speaker 1: feeling sorry for rather at all, not at all. We
Speaker 1: have a mission. We're on a mission. Okay, that's what
Speaker 1: we already knew they had. They had issues with their
Speaker 1: wide receiving corps. Right, okay, because Sterling Shepherd's back out
Speaker 1: for a while now he got hurt against They think
Speaker 1: he may be back next week. Really, Sterling, he's out
Speaker 1: for the year. And oh he's out for no yeah okay,
Speaker 1: yeah out. Remember he got hurt of the last game
Speaker 1: against Cowboy. That's right, that's right, and um, but they've
Speaker 1: had issues throughout the year there and named one Dale Robinson.
Speaker 1: Finally the rookie finally shows something last week had nine
Speaker 1: catches for a hundred yards and then hey, uh toward
Speaker 1: me like oh come on, yeah, yeah, you know what.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna run a full house. Beckfield just
Speaker 1: run wishbone right at the Cowboys because Chicago did the
Speaker 1: same thing, right with jos was the option quarterback? Right?
Speaker 1: Because the Cowboys have an illness going around that defensive room.
Speaker 1: Terrell Basham has not practiced the last two days with
Speaker 1: an illness. Dante Fowler last two days illness, Jonathan Hankins
Speaker 1: last two days illness, and Kelvin Joseph last two days
Speaker 1: with an illness, and just recently DeMarcus Lawrence popped up
Speaker 1: that he was out with a foot. But they got
Speaker 1: foot illness now out foot illness last foot to elm
Speaker 1: foot eilment and an illness ailment don't be so concrete,
Speaker 1: all right. So and McCarthy said that they're hoping, they're
Speaker 1: they're hoping that these guys will be at least good
Speaker 1: enough to go on Thursday. But we'll see what happens
Speaker 1: today and how they list them. So I would think,
Speaker 1: what an illness, you're probably questionable? Um? And really um,
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr sounded like he would be the only one
Speaker 1: that was definitely out. Um. Michael Parsons moved from did
Speaker 1: not practice too limited yesterday and he basically said, Amy,
Speaker 1: and don't worry about me. You would have to lock
Speaker 1: him in a room right to keep him from getting
Speaker 1: on that field Thanksgiving Day especial. Yes, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people watching foot past Giving Day. And you know
Speaker 1: what they're calling the Giant secondary right now, the legion
Speaker 1: of whom because of that? You made that up? No,
Speaker 1: that's what they're calling it. I'm not taking credit for that.
Speaker 1: They're the legion of whom I wouldn't take for it either.
Speaker 1: That's fine, that's pretty fun, because they they're missing a
Speaker 1: Door Jackson, who, by the way, was a first round
Speaker 1: draft pick of the Titans twenty seventeen. Xavier McKinney, who
Speaker 1: had the afore mentioned an earlier podcast atv Accident in
Speaker 1: Cabo and he's on NFI and he was a second
Speaker 1: round draft pick earlier this season. They lost Aaron Robinson,
Speaker 1: their third round draft pick last year. He's been on
Speaker 1: IR and so they here the guys who got this
Speaker 1: is the your legion of whom secondary These are the
Speaker 1: guys who got snaps last week against Detroit. Fabian Moreau
Speaker 1: had thirty s apps, Darnay Holmes thirty four, Cordell Flat
Speaker 1: twenty two, Rodarius Williams twenty two, Nick McCleod thirty nine.
Speaker 1: Those are the corners. The safeties. Dane Belton had thirty
Speaker 1: nine snaps, Julian Love had sixty seven snaps, and Jason
Speaker 1: Pennock had thirty seven snaps. What was the allegian of whom?
Speaker 1: That's who they are? A lot splot flat flat, Cordell
Speaker 1: Flat who was Actually you don't have highest plots in
Speaker 1: your neighborhood. He is actually fl fl Ott, and he
Speaker 1: is actually the highest drafted player. He and Fabian Moreau
Speaker 1: were both the eighty first pick in the draft in
Speaker 1: their respective years, coming out third round picks, and so Flot.
Speaker 1: Of course, Everson proved long long time ago, you have
Speaker 1: don't have to be a draft pick to be a
Speaker 1: really good dB though. Oh you don't have to have
Speaker 1: a easily pronounced name either. Everson. Yeah, don't go there, Please,
Speaker 1: don't go there. So I think you recall about three
Speaker 1: weeks ago how everyone was talking about the Jets and
Speaker 1: the Giants, how this is such a great year for
Speaker 1: New York football and undefeated. Yeah, I tried, you can
Speaker 1: throw Buffalo in the mix. Two, that's exactly right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that the Jets only win the last three weeks
Speaker 1: came against Buffalo, as a matter of fact, and they
Speaker 1: just announced there changing starting the quarterbacks. Where I was
Speaker 1: going with this and with the Jets Jets Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson benched today sounded like bench like out. Well
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not the second quarterback this right, He's
Speaker 1: not going to be the back. Mike White, former Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboy Mike White will start at quarterback for the Jets
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and Joe Flacco is the backup Joe Flacco.
Speaker 1: So so the city of the state of New York.
Speaker 1: Now everything's back to normal. Yeah, back, I feel bad.
Speaker 1: Back to normal. I feel bad in that we need
Speaker 1: to continue that trend. Oh you didn't mean the weather. No,
Speaker 1: I did not mean the weather. It kind of came
Speaker 1: with the weather, though it all got put back to normal.
Speaker 1: It's an injury storm, not a snowstorm. I see all
Speaker 1: these tweets from Carl Banks with all these coaching points,
Speaker 1: So I don't know how how good that that is
Speaker 1: for the New York Giants. When when Carl Banks starts,
Speaker 1: you know, chiming in and you got a problem, that
Speaker 1: means that there are issues well and and really the
Speaker 1: oh and also Tony Pollard, Yes, defensive play offensive offensive? Sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't play defense. Now he played the offense. Well,
Speaker 1: he helped the defense. That's complimentary of the week. So
Speaker 1: who's the who? I want to know who the special
Speaker 1: teams guy was, because how did he do better than
Speaker 1: Brett Maher. It was not mentioned on my post, so
Speaker 1: maybe somebody said it was Patterson. W Patterson have some
Speaker 1: returns or he had a return at thirty plus years
Speaker 1: old over one hundred yards he now in returns, yeah, over, No,
Speaker 1: it was a over one hundred yards in on that
Speaker 1: one return, the one return to win the game, basically,
Speaker 1: to put them ahead in the game. As a kickoff return,
Speaker 1: a kickoff from the end zone, from the end which
Speaker 1: is probably the one and only kickoff return for a
Speaker 1: touchdown this season maybe in the league out of the end,
Speaker 1: out of the end zone especially so uh he now
Speaker 1: leads the NFL in kickoff returns, well, then he's depressed
Speaker 1: in history. Well, Brett Mayer leads the NFL and sixty
Speaker 1: yard field goals well, and he does have the most
Speaker 1: in history, that's right. Although he was very modest about it.
Speaker 1: He said, you know what, though, he goes, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of kickers in the league that can kick sixty yarders.
Speaker 1: You just need the opportunity to be able to do it.
Speaker 1: And you don't have many kick returns right over thirty
Speaker 1: years old, right, and that is pretty or they get
Speaker 1: to return a kickoff. Yes, I mean that was a
Speaker 1: heck of a I think you know what you win,
Speaker 1: You win the toss and you say I want the ball.
Speaker 1: They should just put it at the twenty five yard
Speaker 1: line unless the weathers not this time. No, oh, my
Speaker 1: man did a good job. Patterson did a great job.
Speaker 1: I would have given him that as well, because that
Speaker 1: did set the record. He now has the most kickoff
Speaker 1: returns for touchdown and he is playing We're now with
Speaker 1: the Falcons. He's been on so many teams. Why didn't
Speaker 1: anybody keep him? Minnesota had him right, he fumbled, Yes,
Speaker 1: they did very good. I forgot about that. He fumbled
Speaker 1: the kickoff return before this when that led to a
Speaker 1: score for the other team. Well, so he comes back.
Speaker 1: It wasn't the next kickoff, if I'm not mistaken, But well,
Speaker 1: he should have got docked points. That. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: that's just a wash because because the Myers got credit,
Speaker 1: he hit two six. That's right. And by the way,
Speaker 1: producer Supreme Chris Beam informs me that Devin DuVernay, Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray's cousin, who is from right here locally, Saxi High School,
Speaker 1: University of Texas, also has a kickoff return for a
Speaker 1: touchdown for the Baltimore Ravens. Okay, so there you go.
Speaker 1: There's two two kickoff returns for touchdown through and we
Speaker 1: just thought it would be turpin time. You know, still
Speaker 1: waiting on that one. Yeah, he's been doing okay though.
Speaker 1: He keeps exciting. I know that much. Well. And by
Speaker 1: the way, the a you know who the AFC Special
Speaker 1: Teams Player of the Week was, No, think New England. Ah,
Speaker 1: there you go, got Zach Wilson, mister Jones. Yeah, Marcus
Speaker 1: Marcus Jones who ended the game three three game against
Speaker 1: the Jets and he went eighty five yards apart return
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Yes to Zach will Well a damn
Speaker 1: fool Yeah, doing the press conference say no, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: But the question was the question was do you feel
Speaker 1: like you let your defense down considering the fact if
Speaker 1: they held the opposition to three points before that part return,
Speaker 1: And he quickly said no, just no, Like, how dare
Speaker 1: you ask me that question? I am above you and
Speaker 1: everybody's going off. You think that went over in the
Speaker 1: defensive locker room? Well, that is why he is now
Speaker 1: that bottom of not just bitch, that's why he's at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the barrel right now. He didn't learn
Speaker 1: about you can get benched and you still got a
Speaker 1: chance because the cod might get hurt. Oh yeah, we
Speaker 1: gotta go with you again, Zach, come on in Hereyboddy like, no,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be like move Zach. Excuse me? Hey, Mike
Speaker 1: you ready, come on, let's go. He didn't, he didn't.
Speaker 1: He didn't learn about those stab wounds. You gotta fall
Speaker 1: on your sword. You gotta fall on your sword. And
Speaker 1: that's what one of the punkas was saying. He was
Speaker 1: a former quarterback and he said he wasn't that talented.
Speaker 1: But when it's all said and done, but got him
Speaker 1: to respect and his teammates was he never threw them
Speaker 1: under the bus, right. I mean he's not nearly his
Speaker 1: talented Zach Wilson, but he never threw his teammates under
Speaker 1: the bus. And he accepted the blame as a quarterback,
Speaker 1: which is what we see that doing all the time,
Speaker 1: exactly what we see Josh Allen doing all the time.
Speaker 1: And when Patrick Mahomes is doing it all the time.
Speaker 1: You follow, Listen, what do those three you just mentioned
Speaker 1: three there? What do they have in common that Zack
Speaker 1: Wilson does not have paid a contrack? Now the big
Speaker 1: at this point, but coming into the league, coming into
Speaker 1: the league, they were at their respective colleges for multiple years,
Speaker 1: and they had a maturity about him. And in fact,
Speaker 1: with Mahomes, he didn't even play us first year in
Speaker 1: the league, so there was another year of maturing for
Speaker 1: him Zach and here Zach had to wait on AMO
Speaker 1: and Zach Wilson comes in as a second pick in
Speaker 1: the draft out of BYU, And as producer Supreme pointed
Speaker 1: out to me, in that twenty twenty season, BYU played
Speaker 1: a very limited schedule in terms of their opposition and
Speaker 1: because they everyone was just playing their conference schedules rather
Speaker 1: than non conference games, so they had to piece meal
Speaker 1: it together against lesser competition. Well, that was his last
Speaker 1: year at BYU and the only year that he was
Speaker 1: really played a full season as a starting quarterback. And
Speaker 1: so but it's it's so much more than arm talent,
Speaker 1: you know. And we saw it right from the get
Speaker 1: go with Dak in his career here where he gets
Speaker 1: thrown in when the starting quarterback the long time, the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback gets hurt, and he doesn't miss a beat
Speaker 1: because he's got that maturity about him coming into the
Speaker 1: league with so many games under his belt at MISS,
Speaker 1: could he could sit back and watch and see what's
Speaker 1: going on before he's thrown in there. You know, that
Speaker 1: made me think there's only two starting quarterbacks in other
Speaker 1: than Dak in Cowboy history that had to sit and wait.
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman got thrown in as a raw rookie starting.
Speaker 1: I was there and then and then they made the
Speaker 1: mistake with Quincy Carter. He didn't have to wait. Tony
Speaker 1: Romo had to wait, right, Danny Waddy White waited. Roger
Speaker 1: Starback waited a year. I mean say, Roger Don Meredith
Speaker 1: waited a year. Um, yeah, so and then you think
Speaker 1: about Starbucks maturity coming in he had done and he
Speaker 1: already waited five four years in the Navy. That's why
Speaker 1: Tom was so god he was. He had to go
Speaker 1: against all of his instincts with Roger Starback because he
Speaker 1: wanted so badly for Craig more than to be the
Speaker 1: guy right, you know, because Craig was the typical prototype
Speaker 1: pocket passer. No one was used to this Roger Dodger
Speaker 1: crap that Starback was doing. And Tom hated it when
Speaker 1: he came off the route and he would squabble it
Speaker 1: all around. He's looking like fan talking to Back there
Speaker 1: doing all that stuff, and Tom was remember they you
Speaker 1: substitute quarterbacks. Each wasn't each play, they did it by play,
Speaker 1: come on or series, right, and he knows better. And
Speaker 1: so with Tom, there's always this thing of I gotta
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have control, right, and that's the way it
Speaker 1: always was. So he came up with that because that's
Speaker 1: his only way of delaying the inevitable. Inevitable was the
Speaker 1: fact that Roger's gonna start. Man, it's gonna happen. You
Speaker 1: can hold it off all you want. He tried his best.
Speaker 1: What happened and what happened right after that twenty three
Speaker 1: nineteen loss to the Chicago Bears in nineteen seventy one,
Speaker 1: on what happened the Monday after that, Roger Stabakaways announced
Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback for the team, and they reeled
Speaker 1: off ten straight wins, won of her Super Bowl. And
Speaker 1: so he delayed his own inevitability, right. He did himself
Speaker 1: trying to control things old time. Man, I'll tell you anyway.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, all right, We've got the inimitable spot read
Speaker 1: of Mickey Spagnola coming up next here on mix Shots.

Speaker 1: call you. They're calling you. Name what they called me? Emerson,
Speaker 1: Everson Walls. Hey, I found a kind of a funny
Speaker 1: little deal here. All twenty years ago on Thanksgiving Day,
Speaker 1: So tomorrow. Chad Hutchinson won his first NFL game as
Speaker 1: a starter in twenty twenty two. He beat Jacksonville twenty
Speaker 1: one nineteen twenty one nineteen, one of the least memorable
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day games ever played. And I think it might
Speaker 1: have been his greatest start ever because he only had
Speaker 1: three sixteen of twenty four for three hundred and one yards,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns to Joey Galloway and two interceptions. Okay, it
Speaker 1: deletes us down a road I wasn't expecting to go,
Speaker 1: but I got another one. Okay, go ahead. These quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that played baseball that failed, you got a Drew Henson story. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Two thousand and four, November twenty fifth, Thanksgiving Day, Chad
Speaker 1: Henson now Drew Henson. Sorry, I remember this one first
Speaker 1: NFL start. It was seven to seven at halftime. Julius
Speaker 1: Jones ran thirty three yards for a touchdown. This was
Speaker 1: against two the Bears. Okay, and Henson was four of
Speaker 1: twelve for thirty one yards and it's like what four
Speaker 1: he started that game. He started, but Bill Parcels had
Speaker 1: had at halftime, had seen enough, and he put back
Speaker 1: in the game. Yeah, I remember that because they limited
Speaker 1: Henson to one side of the field. Yes, yeah, he
Speaker 1: would just they would make they made sure that he
Speaker 1: only had to read one half of the field at
Speaker 1: a time. It was seven to seven, It was seven seven,
Speaker 1: and he was like valedictory of his playoffs. That was
Speaker 1: one of the big things about Marty was you know
Speaker 1: what I remember, processed quickly. He didn't. He wouldn't pull
Speaker 1: the trigger, and he I don't think he started another
Speaker 1: game because then he went and played in the World
Speaker 1: League and he struggled there and he came back and
Speaker 1: he could not process quickly enough as a quarterback to
Speaker 1: pull the trigger on the passes. So I was wondering
Speaker 1: ever since if you remembered your first Thanksgiving Day game
Speaker 1: in eighty one, I really don't. It probably was, you know,
Speaker 1: we were so lucky at that time to win. We
Speaker 1: were just winning every week, so it was no big deal.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a major thing. I think
Speaker 1: my my concentration was on my twenty three season tickets
Speaker 1: for the family, trying to get everybody seated and get
Speaker 1: everybody in the game. You actually were starting by that
Speaker 1: I was. I was starting by game five. So the
Speaker 1: score you don't have to review that. He's got that down.
Speaker 1: November November November twenty sixth, the Cowboys beat the Bears
Speaker 1: ten to nine. That's how we beat them by ten
Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty one and the only touchdown scored. And
Speaker 1: make sure I got this right. Um, now you got
Speaker 1: me looking at Mike Downs returned an interception twenty yards
Speaker 1: for a Touchdo no, no, you're no no, I confused him.
Speaker 1: Ron Springs fourth quarter touchdown won the game ten to nine,
Speaker 1: six yard touchdown. I got ahead of myself. The Cowboys
Speaker 1: only had eleven first downs and that touchdown came with
Speaker 1: five o nine left to go in the game. Did
Speaker 1: Peyton Walter Payton play that game? He did? We had to.
Speaker 1: We had to shut them down, right. He threw a
Speaker 1: pass incomplete pass. He had thirty eight carries for one
Speaker 1: and seventy nine yards. Wow, and we still won the game.
Speaker 1: So Danny White got hurt that game, Yes he did.
Speaker 1: Glenn Corno came off the bend. Danny was three of
Speaker 1: seven for sixty six yards, got hurt. Corno came in
Speaker 1: six or fifteen for one hundred and thirty one. Danny
Speaker 1: Bruce Ribs in the second quarter, and the reason you
Speaker 1: ended up winning despite thirty eight carries for one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy nine by Walter Payton ed two Tall Jones
Speaker 1: blocked an extra point. Boy, you would just think that
Speaker 1: with all of those carries and numbers that they would
Speaker 1: the offense would be you know why the quarterbacks. Vince
Speaker 1: Edinlers was the quarterback. He threw for sixty yards. He
Speaker 1: threw one pick, but it wasn't Everson Walls who got
Speaker 1: the interception because he knows, he knows better. He was
Speaker 1: Steve Wilson's Oh my god, this is like a This
Speaker 1: game here was like so many a confusing stats. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's an aberration in Cowboys history and thirty years only
Speaker 1: in the session that year hit me. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Thirty years ago in nineteen eighty two, you
Speaker 1: beat Cleveland thirty one fourteen. I got two that game,
Speaker 1: and you guys moved to ten and three and finished
Speaker 1: twelve and four. I think that's the only time I played. No,
Speaker 1: you didn't finish twelve and four. That was the eighty
Speaker 1: one eighty five I got two against the Browns. Steve
Speaker 1: Wilson had two picks that year. So, Bill, when was
Speaker 1: your first Thanksgiving Day game to be at? Oh? I
Speaker 1: don't I never went to a Thanksgiving Well, well, working, yeah, working,
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I don't know. Okay, Mickey wants to
Speaker 1: tell his story. I just started looking. I do remember.
Speaker 1: I do remember the Larry Cole Thanksgiving Day game watching night. No,
Speaker 1: I'm talking like sixty eight or so. I remember Larry
Speaker 1: Cole would always have a fumble return for a touchdown night. No,
Speaker 1: Larry Cole was done playing by nineteen eighty. It was No,
Speaker 1: I'm talking early in his career when he first I
Speaker 1: gotta look it up. You gotta look at Mickey. You
Speaker 1: tell your story against the Redskin. He scored throughout his career.
Speaker 1: It's always against Washington two. He was always against Washington.
Speaker 1: Wetskins was the one he made the big stop on um.
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought, I remember the nineteen sixty eight
Speaker 1: he had a fumble return for a touchdown and I
Speaker 1: got it. That was his rookie year. He finished second
Speaker 1: in the Rookie of the Year of voting. Wow. Really
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight. Yep, rookie, like defensive rookie. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: then I found it. On Thanksgiving they played Washington and
Speaker 1: and oh no, no, yes, yes, yes, he had an
Speaker 1: interception return for a touchdown to seal the win. Nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty eight. So that is my earliest Thanksgiving Day watching memory.
Speaker 1: I remember Larry running with the ball in his hands,
Speaker 1: and it was against the Redskins. And this was in
Speaker 1: the seventies, and I know he did it all the
Speaker 1: time against Washington. May have been Rogers last game against Washington.
Speaker 1: I think it was man he had he did in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty he had a forty three yard interception return. Yes,
Speaker 1: you did so. He started his career in nineteen sixty
Speaker 1: eight with an interception return against Washington on Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 1: And if I can get it to call up here
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty, um, they played Seattle on Thanksgiving, go
Speaker 1: ahead making. It wasn't the Thanksgiving game, it was just
Speaker 1: a Redskins game. Let me see a Washington game, Washington.
Speaker 1: I'm looking it up. Yes, against Washington, it was the
Speaker 1: Sunday before Thanksgiving. He had a forty three yard interception
Speaker 1: return from a touchdown Larry Cole memory in his career, Well,
Speaker 1: let me back it up. There's got to be at
Speaker 1: least three, and at least two of them were against
Speaker 1: the Redskins. That's amazing. H He was known for it,
Speaker 1: either fumble returns or interception return so like jumping at
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and catching the ball. He had
Speaker 1: had he had three? This is mind you, Larry Cole.
Speaker 1: A he was listed at two hundred and fifty two pounds.
Speaker 1: In modern day he would be a six five, two
Speaker 1: hundred ninety pound defensive lineman. Okay. He had three interception
Speaker 1: returns for touchdowns in his career and to the and
Speaker 1: in fact, and he had a fubble return for a
Speaker 1: touchdown also in his career. Was he the was he
Speaker 1: the guy from Oklahoma? No, who was then an offense
Speaker 1: Larry Cole played at, actually played at three colleges, Our Forrest, Houston,
Speaker 1: and Hawaii. Hawaii is the last one. Okay, he's from Minnesota, Minnesota, Okay.
Speaker 1: And and when I saw Jeff Coach do the same
Speaker 1: thing in nineteen eighty five, that would that gave me
Speaker 1: Larry Cole flashbacks when he intercepted that uh when we
Speaker 1: won the NFC East nineteen eighty five. That reminded me
Speaker 1: of Larry ran it back because he and Larry kind
Speaker 1: of want to like you know what I mean, there's
Speaker 1: a weird run nobody kind of side, nobody behind. You know.
Speaker 1: This brings up to me there needs to be I know,
Speaker 1: we have the Ring of Honor. There needs to be
Speaker 1: like a Walk of Fame at the stadium for a
Speaker 1: big two to honor, to honor players like Larry Cole.
Speaker 1: He will, yeah, the song he will. And it's guys
Speaker 1: that have the great you know, they didn't quite measure
Speaker 1: up the Ring of Honor status, but it was solid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're consistent, very popular players, whether it's a walk
Speaker 1: garrison two of them, you know exactly, Larry Cole and
Speaker 1: Jim Jeff. Yeah, there needs to be like in a
Speaker 1: Walk of Fame throughout that sponsor for that. You have
Speaker 1: one in mind, k Post, don't you think though? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: And you can have a special ceremony for the them,
Speaker 1: even if it's just in the off season or whatever,
Speaker 1: to honor these from the past. Just think about there's
Speaker 1: tons of like that. Just think about the deserves, the
Speaker 1: big moments, and the stadium is so massive r you know,
Speaker 1: there's it's you know, and it's it's just great place.
Speaker 1: It could be a bar area, gathering area, or whatever
Speaker 1: where you can display those names. Right. Okay, So since
Speaker 1: since we're talking about this stuff before, we can go
Speaker 1: to break uh, the NFL uh In, with the participation
Speaker 1: of CBS, Fox at NBC, are going to dedicate Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: Day to John Madden. They're going to do a bunch
Speaker 1: of different things during the broadcast. Um, They'll they'll have
Speaker 1: visuals with Madden's description of Thanksgiving. Um, They'll each network
Speaker 1: will run it in in during their games. They're also
Speaker 1: going to create each network their own tribute to John
Speaker 1: that'll be in the broadcast. An NFL Films has made
Speaker 1: a twenty three minute Greatest Footage reel of madden Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: moments that they're going to share with the networks. So
Speaker 1: that's going to happen on Thanksgiving. Nate's going to beat
Speaker 1: and they're gonna each network is yeah, oh this is interesting,
Speaker 1: twenty five yard line stencil on the fields, end zone stencils,
Speaker 1: and helmet stickers, and each network will select a player
Speaker 1: of the game who's going to receive a ten thousand
Speaker 1: dollars donation to be given to a youth rogue program
Speaker 1: in their name. Nice. So while I'm at it on
Speaker 1: this the Walk of Fame, Okay, Yeah, I've also thought
Speaker 1: that the network television broadcast booth at at and T
Speaker 1: Stadium should be named the Pet Summer All and John Network.
Speaker 1: That would be good. And by that way, that way
Speaker 1: their memory lives on where well, you know, Jim Nats
Speaker 1: or whoever is doing the games were here in the
Speaker 1: Pat Summer All and John Madden Network TV broadcast booth
Speaker 1: at at and ten at this stadium. Well, that's the
Speaker 1: that's the that's the one thing they did. They were
Speaker 1: not prominent at this stadium. It was Texas Stadium, but
Speaker 1: I think it's still it. Lingers, I mean it Texas
Speaker 1: Stadium became. I think the Raiders should do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think should do it. Well, I thought, and
Speaker 1: real quickly since you brought up announcers. The first game
Speaker 1: I covered was November twenty second, nineteen eighty four, and
Speaker 1: the announcers were Dick Enberg and Merlin Olson. I saw
Speaker 1: I found a video, right, and then they had their
Speaker 1: little open with those two guys, and those voices are
Speaker 1: still can kind of ring in your And that's the
Speaker 1: game that Mike Downs had a twenty seven yard interception
Speaker 1: return for a touch and that was against whom New
Speaker 1: England they had to be an NFC tea. Yeah twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Merlin was the only commentator that understood how tough it
Speaker 1: was to play the flex defense as a defensive back.
Speaker 1: He's the only one I've who had mentioned about how
Speaker 1: a special and unique our technique was. That's why I
Speaker 1: like Mola. And there you go, a walk down history lane. Okay,
Speaker 1: and now we're about to walk into this Thanksgiving Day
Speaker 1: with our pistila. Who's gonna win when Mick shots continues
Speaker 1: in a moment? We paid how much for those lessons?
Speaker 1: She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me
Speaker 1: a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh oh look
Speaker 1: at that. That's not the end, no way. Now it's
Speaker 1: time for the encore. You know what? You're right? Five times?
Speaker 1: Not enough times for everyone who traded in rock concerts
Speaker 1: for their kids recitals. You've compromised enough Pepsi zero sugar.
Speaker 1: That's what I like. Nobody protects you from mayhem? Like
Speaker 1: all stay you hear that. I'm a torrential downpour horrential?
Speaker 1: What does that even mean? It means you can't see
Speaker 1: out of your windshield and if you have the wrong
Speaker 1: car insurance, you might have to make it rain to
Speaker 1: fix your bumper. So switch to all State, save money
Speaker 1: and be better protected from mayhem like me based on

Speaker 1: We go to see right. I have a nephew with me,

Speaker 1: day before the game. That's why you see a hole.
Speaker 1: Does Rogers still play his um football game on Thanksgiving morning?
Speaker 1: Was it football or basketball? Basketball? I'm sorry they may
Speaker 1: they may get rained out tomorrow. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he still does it. They I mean
Speaker 1: he used to build tradition a long time. That's right,
Speaker 1: all right. So it's time for our picks to click
Speaker 1: and predictions for this game. I think we'd know where
Speaker 1: we're leaning. We'll start with the former Cowboy and the
Speaker 1: former New York Giant, who has a Super Bowl ring
Speaker 1: from his time with the Giant. Sounds like the intro
Speaker 1: we use for the Star Sports. We don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about the fans. I want to see that, all right.
Speaker 1: I am looking forward to the Cowboys, of course winning
Speaker 1: this game. My player, I think he's gonna have a
Speaker 1: sack and the force fumble, and he's gonna have a
Speaker 1: force fumble because they are going to be trying to
Speaker 1: run the ball on us. I don't think they they
Speaker 1: I don't think they have the confidence to pass on us.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking for him to try to run the
Speaker 1: ball keep the game in check. I look for mister
Speaker 1: Gallimore to have onalimore and at least one force fumble.
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a strip sack fumble, but I'll
Speaker 1: take it either way. Cowboys are gonna win. Offense is
Speaker 1: gonna goroll thirty to twenty, taking advantage of those injuries
Speaker 1: that the Giants have, particularly in the interior of their
Speaker 1: offensive line. That's why I picked mister calliber. And what
Speaker 1: was your score again? Thirty to twenty? Yes, how boys win?
Speaker 1: Am I up next? If you would like to be
Speaker 1: up next? At sure show? You make the call. Somebody
Speaker 1: asked Michael Parsons yesterday, um, how good this team could be?
Speaker 1: And he said, we all saw it last week, So
Speaker 1: how do we sustain it? Greatness has to be sustained,
Speaker 1: and they will sustain on Thanksgiving Day thirty one seventeen
Speaker 1: with a victory. Then your pick the click was my pick.
Speaker 1: The clip is Click will be Sam the Man because
Speaker 1: they're going to be Marcus Lawrence a little under the weather,
Speaker 1: they probably limit his snaps, and Lawrence got two sacks.
Speaker 1: Larrence got two, so they're going to concentrate on him,
Speaker 1: follows dealing with an illness. So Sam's gonna be the
Speaker 1: survival of the fittest. What do you think going to
Speaker 1: have sacks? Sacks? Two at least two sacks and one
Speaker 1: will be a strip fumble. So the Cowboys will then
Speaker 1: have another player with five or more sacks. That's right.
Speaker 1: This season if Sam Williams gets a couple, but Gallimore
Speaker 1: better keep Daniel Jones from running out of the pocket. Okay,
Speaker 1: he realized he had seventy nine yards rushing. Yes, who
Speaker 1: is the player of the game. Who was the player
Speaker 1: of the game the last time the Cowboys played the Giants?
Speaker 1: What do you remember? I remember it being Donovan Wilson.
Speaker 1: He did have a big game. You're exactly right. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to pick Donovan Wilson for my double Yes,
Speaker 1: he's gonna double up against the Giants. Donovan Wilson is
Speaker 1: my player of the game. And you know, in fact,
Speaker 1: our most loyal listener of Nate in Frisco. We were
Speaker 1: chatting about are these the real what are the real Cowboys?
Speaker 1: Are the real cowboys the cowboys that played the Packers
Speaker 1: or the cowboys that played the Vikings? And I think
Speaker 1: this week the real cowboys are the cowboys that played
Speaker 1: the Vikings. And I look at this Giants team, It's depleted,
Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys are gonna roll on Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: Day and I'm gonna go thirty four to ten. So
Speaker 1: to support your Donovan Wilson pick. First time around ten tackles,
Speaker 1: one sack, two PAT two passes nobus, Yeah and no.
Speaker 1: It says it says it's a PBR and a p
Speaker 1: D pass defense pass defenses PR pass I got no,
Speaker 1: let me see it, it says PR. I need to
Speaker 1: look at it. Well, the punt return is a PR
Speaker 1: no because they got fumble fumble recover, forced fumble fumble recover,
Speaker 1: and then it's got a PR. Huh what is that?
Speaker 1: Supreme pass? Wow? I don't know what that is. Pass refuted.
Speaker 1: Let me see if there's a gloss is I have
Speaker 1: no idea. I don't think I've seen it before. That's
Speaker 1: why it made me stumble. But there's a lot of
Speaker 1: defensive lineman with them too. Yeah, yes, eversonce what what
Speaker 1: do you think? Give me some numbers on Donna's gonna
Speaker 1: have a pick a pick Yeah, excellent pass rush maybe,
Speaker 1: But that's kind of quarterback? Is that like a quarterback
Speaker 1: pressure back press? It's a pressure, it's a PR it's
Speaker 1: a pressure, it's a pressure. Yeah. Oh, but seeing when
Speaker 1: they says normally a q q h, when what they
Speaker 1: quarterback hit? What I found out what they do when
Speaker 1: they put the quarterbacks, it's it's they put them together.
Speaker 1: They put the hits in the pressures together for that
Speaker 1: one stat. Okay, quarterback hurries and pressures. Yeah they're they're together,
Speaker 1: but that's probably a pass rush. That's pressure. It's a
Speaker 1: pressures pressure. You know what. That's from PR. It's from
Speaker 1: your favorite website, the PR PF. No, the Cowboys count those, No,
Speaker 1: but they got that from Oh I got that from PF.
Speaker 1: I got ye your favorite? All right, Well you know what,
Speaker 1: we've got to go next door? Yes, all right, very good.
Speaker 1: Can anyone join you over there? You want to? You can? Okay,
Speaker 1: Well we'll get some food. Um, and I think if
Speaker 1: people just want to come in and listen, they can
Speaker 1: buy a ticket, I believe, or a ticket for autographs.
Speaker 1: Be interested. You see who's signing that. I hope they can.
Speaker 1: Players coming over after? Oh really? Oh yeah, I hope
Speaker 1: they found How long this lusty? Well, we get going
Speaker 1: about one fifteen. They start giving out drawings at one
Speaker 1: and then the players come in after us. So that's
Speaker 1: about two two fifteen, so the last couple hours. And
Speaker 1: so this is before every home game, every home game,
Speaker 1: and then selected away games. Do you want to advertise
Speaker 1: that I have to do it by myself? The games?
Speaker 1: So The last one we did away was so how
Speaker 1: would a Cowboy fan find out about this star sports
Speaker 1: tours or sports travel? Okay, all right, they can get
Speaker 1: to the website. They'll they'll put together the whole trip
Speaker 1: for you, all right, And this is properly where they
Speaker 1: look at us. Nobuddy was allowed on this tour or
Speaker 1: less they had a jersey. I can see that, right,
Speaker 1: A lot of Cowboys jerseys in the building. They're still coming.
Speaker 1: We're going to see them over there. This looks like
Speaker 1: the Allen football team coming out of the locker room. Huh.
Speaker 1: They just came and coming. Look at all right, and
Speaker 1: the band too. Well, let's let's get behind him and
Speaker 1: we'll find our way over the way. Good police escort
Speaker 1: over there. All right. That does hit for this week's
Speaker 1: edition of Mixed Shots. Enjoy the game and we'll chat
Speaker 1: at you again on Monday. Go Cowboys. This has been
