It is a Tuesday. 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.839 It's a day off for the Cowboys players, but it 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.960 is not a day off for Mickey Spagnola, who has 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:47.479 his tie on and he's ready for broadcast duty. I 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.239 thought they just had a week off when they came 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:52.479 back for a day. They come back for one day 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.200 of work and then they get another day off. Why 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.639 can't we get this game? We need a union, that's right, 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.120 that's right. That's a pretty good deal for yeah. But 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:07.000 we are here to power through this and the game 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.120 week officially starts tomorrow is the Cowboys take on the 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:14.000 Minnesota Vikings and making you have your Viking purple audit 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.440 do yep. I made a point today. I'm taping the 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:22.240 Mike McCarthy Show this evening. I always have to think, Okay, 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:26.760 who are they playing this week? I like wearing a 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.480 purple tie with my gray jacket that I'm wearing this week, 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.240 and I had to make a conscious decision that Nope, 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.680 go with the blue. It didn't even cross my mind. 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.760 I just go in my closet and go, Okay, what 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.840 do I want to do today? All right? All right? 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:46.640 So yes, is this a big day? A big day? 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.280 Is this a big day in let's say, Dallas Fort 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.680 Worth or Texas Sports? Texas Sports? Is this a big day? 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:59.880 October twenty? It's not in history? But today the answers yes, yes. 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.760 Chris Beams says, yes, okay, why is it a big day? 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.960 Help me? What's happening in Houston? It's the World Series? 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.280 MAC Game one of the World Series. What's happening? And 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.079 what's happening at the American Airlines Center tonight? Basketball? That's 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.959 rights home opener against the Houston Rockets. Oh, I see 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:24.520 where you were going. You were talking history. So later 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:29.079 on this episode of mix Shots, yeah, I want to 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:33.040 ask the question and we can discuss why is the 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:38.240 NFL so much more popular than these other sports? To 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.400 the point that Mickey, you just proved my point right there. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.000 You didn't even realize where It didn't come to your 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.720 mind when I said, this is a big day that 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.519 the World on World Series is the great state of Texas. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.160 I know you knew, but it didn't if it, okay, 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.680 if the super Bowl was being played in Texas today, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.520 you would know that. I mean, it would be the 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.120 first that you would say, of course, a ticket for it. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:08.560 If the Cowboys home opener is today, all right, yes, yeah, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.000 when you play eighty two games. We'll get into this. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.359 We'll get into this a little bit later, but this 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.160 will be a testament to the popularity of the NFL. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.960 Now I knew. I knew the Stars had their homeowner 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.000 on Friday, though you hadn't asked me that. All right, 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.120 Was it a big Monday night football game last night? 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:35.400 Oh my lord? What did we talk about yesterday? The 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:39.560 value of quarterbacks? Yes, right, yes? And how important there? 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.080 And that's why. But you weren't watching the Mannings and Brady. No, 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:48.280 the value of quarterbacks. Oh that was brutal. You know what, 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.720 here's my test on any how popular a TV show 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.960 is or a sporting event. I was off yesterday, so 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.640 I wasn't at the TV station. So I was home watching. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.240 I would have loved to sit in my living room 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.360 and go ahead and watch the Money Night game, even 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.600 flip over to Tom Brady on with the Mannings on 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.920 the Manning Cast, whatever. But my wife had control of 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:20.240 the remote, so we're watching the Voice instead. So but 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.839 if okay, good, point is my point is we only 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.080 have one TV in the house. No, no, I've got 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:30.719 I could have. It's a rare weeknight where I'm home. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:35.719 So I felt a obligation of sorts to go ahead 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.440 and stay in the living room and watch TV with 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.560 the wife. Okay, I'm not going to retreat to the 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.120 patio or I've got a TV or the bedroom or 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:49.719 the men you know upstairs. Whatever. Okay, so I gave in, Okay, 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.240 we're watching the Voice. So I was just on my 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.880 iPad watching the game when she's watching the Voice. But point, 0:04:56.320 --> 0:05:00.240 my point is. My point is that if if it 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.760 was the New Orleans Saints with Drew Brees at quarterback 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.479 versus the Seattle Seahawks with Russell Wilson at quarterback, she 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.560 would have watched that over the Voice. But if it's 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.600 Geno Smith for Seattle against Jamis Winston for New Orleans. 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.520 She's got no interest whatsoever. Do you not think that 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.200 at some point in that game, Sean Payton is thinking 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:30.560 to himself, for fifteen years, I had Drew Breese and 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:35.359 now I got this. And Pete Carroll's sitting on the 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.599 sideline looking at his quarterback next to him, Russell Wilson 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.159 on the sideline, going oh my god, how did I 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.320 get into this section? And I did not hear Pete 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.560 Carroll after the game, but I heard what he apparently 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:51.919 said after the game that he probably he would wouldn't 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.400 have been in Seattle as long as he's been in 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.640 Seattle if he did not have that quarterback who is 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.880 on the sidelines leading the way the last however long 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.200 I mean, we talked about how important the quarterbacks were 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.480 yesterday yep. We talked about the top teams in the league, 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.720 in the NFC, in the conference and who the quarterbacks? 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.279 Would you like to run them? Those again? Starting with 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:18.960 the unbeaten Arizona Cardinals, kyler By the Rams have one loss. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:23.480 They Matthew Stafford, the Packers have one loss. Aaron Rodgers 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.679 now Boys have one loss. Jack Prescott, Who am I missing? 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.960 Tom Brady? Tom Brady in the Bucks. Yeah, and then 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:34.320 they played that last night. Now I understand it was raining, right, 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.200 what is it called a bomb cyclone or something? Okay, 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:43.720 I think I think Peyton Sean called it a bomb typhoon. 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.040 I don't think he had it right. All I know 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.440 it was rated pretty hard most of the time, right, 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:55.280 the wind was blowing. But still the easy passes they missed, 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.640 you know, and the one that ends up being the 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.359 what was it an eighty four year our touchdown pass? 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:06.160 Right Geno Smith to Metcalf, He pushed the dB down, 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.640 just pushed him to the ground. And and and the guys, 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.320 those guys that do Monday night football, by the way, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:17.080 they are so critical of everything, everything that goes on. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:22.880 They or something. It's unbelievable. It gets annoying, especially the 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.400 play by play guy. Just tell me what's going on. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.720 I don't need to hear your opinion. That's why you 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.240 got the other two guys. But they never mentioned the 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:35.920 fact that Metcalf just shoved Lattimore to the ground. How 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:40.160 did the officials miss it? Well, Lattimore is for the ride, honestly, 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:45.040 because he grabbed onto him from the jump. Then they 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:49.680 should have called interference one way or another right, and 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.200 and but that that was it. That was the play 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.680 of the game, and that was was that the first series? 0:07:54.800 --> 0:08:01.360 It was, wasn't it on? I hesitate to be critical casters, Well, 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.840 I can do it, but that is something on the 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.680 Monday night broadcast. They've they've struggled so much to come 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.120 up with a team for the Monday night broadcast. And 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:16.720 that's where Witton got thrown a disservice. And I've worked 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:21.920 Joe Tessa tour was intern with me Channel five back 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.840 in the early night. Well, you needed to teach them 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.360 a few more or less. But but I think it's 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:31.160 more though that they're they've been coached or taught, or 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:35.319 they feel an obligation to be more than than the game. 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:40.160 And it's and they're opinionated and so forth. That what 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.080 they need, though is to go back and go listen 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:48.160 to Monday night football when Monday night football was the thing. Right, 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.720 We're going back to the seventies and the eighties with Dandy, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:55.280 Don Meredith and Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, he was never 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:59.280 like that. Okay, go back and listen to Summer All 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.800 with Madden Summer All was as was understated as you 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:07.000 can possibly be and Madden was the show. Okay, Nance 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.959 with Romo, I'll yet Nance. Let's Romo be Romo okay, 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.440 and so anyway, yeah off that soapar anyway, Yeah, that 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.360 was That game was brutal, That's all I got to say. Well, 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:23.920 and so I missed the Brady with the mannings. Okaye 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.560 that I tuned in and the second half after she 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:33.400 went to bed and uh, so I caught the last 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.360 quarter of the Manning cast. They had Breeze on at 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.480 the end. They had Sue Bird, who's a star for 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:41.920 the Seattle w NBA team on prior to that. Um 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:47.560 and um. It was not even when Breeze was on 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.800 at the end, it was it was not apparently what 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.320 I'm hearing it. The Brady part of the Manning cast 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.640 was like, apparently it was pretty good. I've got a 0:09:55.679 --> 0:10:00.480 solution for you. Okay, your on your scene TVC Yes. Yes. 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:06.600 So we treated ourselves at Christmas to buy a bigger TV. 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.880 So we moved the other TV and I thought I 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.080 could just carry it into the bedroom, right it was 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.559 it was too heavy for one person, so I just 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.440 kind of put it on the floor off to the 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.360 side in the no and it's still there. It moved. 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:29.000 It moved on Saturday because we were hosting a somewhat 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:33.560 of a little neighborhood party. Right, so from December twenty 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.480 twenty whatever, Yeah, where nobody could come in your house 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:42.880 to Saturday. That TV's been there, right, And I've got 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:47.720 a one of those little plug in tennis to get 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:53.640 the local channels, and I can connect my laptop to 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:58.120 it to get the other channels. You can. Well, I 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.319 can sit there and watch if I wanted to the game, 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.600 and she could have watched the voice if she wanted 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.839 to at the same time. Uh. And all I heard 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:12.000 for for eight months was gosh, looks like trash. My 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.880 wife would put up with it, right, there's no way. 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.440 And so a buddy of mine built a new house 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.679 and in his living room he had one of those 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:28.000 entertainment things against the wall and he put slots for 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:32.200 two TVs. Wow, one for him one that's great, Right, 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.080 you don't have to go to another room. Hey, I've 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.959 threatened to do that. And if you want to listen, no, right, 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.680 you can just put our headphones on and plug it. 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.960 Here's here's what I've done. We've got patio. This is 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.320 eight years ago we added on to our patio whatever. 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.360 So I got a TV out of the back porch 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:57.720 and if I sit, I can watch a game on 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:02.360 the patio and pretend that I am engaged with whatever 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:10.280 is happening and I'm sharing, right, So anyway, Baby Loffenberg 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.280 gun on me once after I first put that in. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:18.720 It was like I put it in. It was January, 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:23.800 NFL playoff time, and so I was on the back point. 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.960 She was watching whatever she's watching the living room. I 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:31.680 had all winter gear on and I'm watching NFL playoff 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.960 games on my back porch and Baby Loffenberg still kidded 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:36.640 me about that. I'm gonna have to move it back 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.240 in there tonight and watch the World Series at the 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.440 same All right, do you want to get your Brady 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.920 story in? Now? That's what I was leading to with 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:52.280 the Manning cast, and Brady revealed about the six hundredth touchdown. Oh, 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.840 I'm the fan that had the balls and he was 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:59.840 nice enough to give it back. Right, Well, it's turned out, okay, 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.240 you don't have that ball, right, But you know, in 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:08.320 twenty years is that going to be a big deal? 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.120 But the big deal is today, right, because he ended 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:17.440 up getting what two signed jerseys? I believe, Okay, the 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:21.000 team had already committed to giving him two this fan 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.719 Byron Kennedy or yes, yeah Byron Kennedy. The team had 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.880 already committed to giving him two signed jerseys and assigned 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:34.200 the helmet from Brady, assigned Mike Evans jersey, as well 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:38.320 as the wide receivers game cleats, plus a one thousand 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:43.040 dollars credit to the Buccaneers store and season tickets for 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.320 the remainder of this year in all of next year. 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.199 And then was that enough? No, that was not enough. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:56.320 Gets sixty thousand dollars worth of bitcoin? Wow, I'm not 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:01.600 sure what that is? Can I down? That's what Brady 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:06.079 revealed that last night with the mannings, right, So can 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.200 I take that bit going down to the store and 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.800 I'll give me change? Got me? I need to go 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.960 down to the Mavericks home opener and find out from 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.240 Mark Cuban what do you do with that? What do 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.319 you do with it? But I think he made out. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.320 He made out like a bandit. He certainly did. That's right, 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:25.840 And so did Jerry talk about that this morning? He did, Okay, 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:30.880 he talked about things that he valued and he said 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:35.720 that football would have been like your firstborn, your baby. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.920 That's that's how important it would have been. And he 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.120 told the story that when he was sixteen years old, 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:48.960 he had the family, had a friend who was a 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:54.640 big deal with the Blackhawks in Chicago, and he got 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:59.920 him to go into the clubhouse of the Chicago cub 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.880 and he said he went up to Ernie Banks with 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.800 a baseball and got an autograph. And he said he 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:11.160 still has it to this day. Really that he uh, 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.000 he kept it and it was it meant so much 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.360 to him because of Ernie Banks, right, and knew of them, obviously, 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:23.640 Ernie grew up here in Dallas. Uh and uh, he said. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.400 He finally, at some point later in life ran into 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.640 Ernie Banks and Ernie said, well, very glad to meet you, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.640 and he goes, well, I met you long time ago, 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.520 and Ernie goes, really, I would have remembered that, he goes, No, 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.720 I was sixteen years old and you signed my baseball. 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:48.080 And this is long after Ernie retired kind of moved 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.080 back to finally move back to Dallas towards the end 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.240 of his life. But yeah, he's that was his answer 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.880 to it, was, I had I've heard I've always thought 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:04.200 I heard, like all Jerry's story, there's always another one. Yeah, 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.240 that was a good one too. By the way, Ernie 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:11.040 Banks Baseball signed. So do you have a White Sox players, 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:18.080 I've got a sign anything. I've got a faded, very faded, 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.920 and only I know what's on there. Pete Ward autograph 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.080 used to play third base for the White Shocks, and 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.720 I think he was at some sort of promotion for 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.480 our Little League association and he came and signed. And 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.760 in one year I got Bob Fellers. Wow. Yeah, I 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.920 was gonna yeah, right, No, I've got I've got I've 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:45.400 got a a coaster from the shoelas Joe Jackson's uh 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:52.080 Museum in Greenville, South Carolina. I didn't know there was 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.400 one there. My sister and brother in law went through 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.800 and they got me a momento. So were you a 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.240 big autograph seeker? No? I scared. I was scared to 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.080 get turned down, so I didn't want to. I never 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.760 understood it as a kid, I never understood it. However, 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.879 the one time. There were a couple of times I 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:15.080 remember getting autographs. One of them was at an exhibition 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.520 baseball game in Arlington. My dad had said go down 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.400 there and get whoever's auto. I don't even remember who 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.720 it was, Okay, But the time that I really remember 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:29.600 was we were at Market Hall in Dallas and Bob 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:34.600 Lily was there making an appearance, and we my dad 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:39.000 and I. We walked by Bob Lily as he was leaving, basically, 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.480 and my dad. He walked by us, and my dad 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.120 caught up with him and I got his autograph. And 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.040 that's the only autograph that I really remember getting as 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.400 a kid was Bob Lily's. And so and that was 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.600 and so that was a happen. We talked with Bob 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.960 Lily a little bit, you know, and so that was 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.800 It was just an impromptu thing, you know. And so 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.280 I have no idea what I did with that autograph. 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:06.120 But anyway, here's how goofy I was. So in nineteen 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:14.680 eighty three, they were having the fiftieth anniversary Major League 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.919 Baseball All Star Game and they to commemorate it, they 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.080 went to where it was first held, in Komiski Park 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.320 in Chicago, and I got to go in there and 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:29.320 cover the festivities right and and the game. So they 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:33.439 had the old timers deal the day before, so I 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:39.040 go in the locker room the clubhouse, and my childhood 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:44.239 idol was in there, Louis Appersio, right, Little Louis right, 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:48.199 I could identify what Right learned to bunt. I was 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:53.880 fast back in the day, I said, I was fast, okay, 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.800 just like him. I could steal bases, bunt and get 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:01.680 the first base. And everybody was sitting there interviewing him, 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.679 and I just kind of stood and watched, and I 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.880 marveled at joke. I said, I can't go ask him questions. 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:16.080 That's my idol, right, Louis Apparichio, who is by the way, 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:20.159 still alive, yes, eighty seven years old from Venezuela. I 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:23.120 was looking to see if they've got his height in here. 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.600 I bet he was no more than five nine five eight. 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.199 I can find it some other place. That's funny that 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.879 he would lead the league and stolen bases or be 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:39.119 there at the top. Hmm, heck of a short stop 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.440 and list it. It's five nine, five nine sixty on 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.920 Baseball Reference. All right, when we come back here, bring 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.480 me up to speed on.

They had a little Halloween party last night. 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:28.439 You saw that, did you? I did not. They had 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.560 There are some pictures making the rounds. I think guess 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:33.159 it was last night. I don't know. De Marcus Lawrence 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:37.119 Halloween party. Staffed the house, invited the guys over, and 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:41.040 there are some pictures floating around. And Dak was there 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.320 and so he was moving around. Apparently he wasn't on 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:49.000 crutches or apparently not. Nope, what on that little scooter 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.399 that he used to have, Not that I'm aware of. So, 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.160 as we mentioned yesterday, it looked like they were gonna 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.760 do something something out on the field. Yes, looks like 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:03.960 they did kind of a mini camp practice. Yeah. And 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:10.040 so they actually returned to work yesterday. They did their 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:17.840 cross self scout across the hall. Across the hall, Yes, 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:22.639 And it was interesting to hear Zach Martin talk about 0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.359 it on you Know and how he goes and talks 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.840 to the defensive coaches to kind of they analyze what 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.439 the offense is doing. I don't know how they analyzed 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:36.440 him since he's played so well if Pro Football Focus 0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:44.000 is accurate, right, But yeah, So, and we talked about 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.760 Dak poking his head out the door and you know, 0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:51.080 basically not wanting to do the interview because he screams out. 0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:53.399 He goes, if I came up there with you today, 0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:55.639 you wouldn't have anything to write about the rest of 0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:59.760 the week. Well, I think when Jerry Jones did his 0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:06.320 interview uh today on the fan, he said that based 0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:11.800 on you know what we saw yesterday, he was very encouraged. 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:15.320 Uh he said, I feel very good about where Dak is. 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:20.600 So uh. You know, he pointed out that he seems 0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:26.479 far less concerned about the calf strain than he was 0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:30.800 about the shoulder muscle strain in training camp. Uh. He 0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:35.119 said it's must the calf is much less sensitive, is 0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:40.119 how he put it. So. Um, so we'll see. My 0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:44.440 guess is tomorrow Dak will do kind of the early stuff. Uh, 0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:48.600 he'll do the indoor uh kind of quarterback school that 0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:52.560 they call whatever drills they do amongst themselves. Uh. And 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:58.000 then probably be limited in practice. My guess is they 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.639 won't ask him to do a lot, if any, in 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:05.320 the team drills at least tomorrow, and then see where 0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:08.880 he's at on Thursday. But it seems like from what 0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.719 he Jerry had to say, what Stephen said on Monday, 0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:17.439 you know, it seems like all systems go at this point. Okay, 0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:23.520 And you can check out wherever on Twitter, just search 0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:27.560 and you can find a picture of that celebrating celebrating Halloween. Yes, 0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:31.359 so there you go. Was he dancing or anything? I 0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:36.920 don't know, there's just a picture. And then after our show, 0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:42.000 by the way, which always happens, right, Cowboys announced that 0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:46.200 Lele Collins was officially on the fifty three man roster. 0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:49.560 I think they did that move on Friday. They release 0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:55.320 Nick Ralston, the rookie fullback, and then sign him back 0:25:55.359 --> 0:26:01.440 to the practice crowd. So Lele Collins will be officially 0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:04.840 practicing this week with the team for the first time 0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:10.480 after serving his five game suspension. Michael Gallop, they started 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:14.720 his ir return clock. He would have three weeks to 0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:18.280 practice before they have to make an official move there, 0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:23.040
