Bill Jones with 6 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: Everson Walls and Mickey Spagnola, who is one of the 7 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: very few people in the entire world who can go 8 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: onto the premises of a National Football League facility on 9 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: a Monday or Tuesday. That's where Mickey is. He is 10 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: hunkered down inside the SWBC Mortgage studios. How do you 11 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: get such privileges, Mickey, I don't need essential. Yeah, I'm essential, right, 12 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I don't know that it's a privilege. 13 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: It's sort of a necessity to be here for some 14 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: of the work. But I can tell you this, there 15 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: ain't too many people up there. We're in our department 16 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: coming in on Tuesday. By the way, I think there's two. 17 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: I think there's two of us up there. Let's just 18 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: be real. Bill Spags is having problems at home. Yeah, 19 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: that's okay. We've got you. We got your bag, buddy. 20 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: Ever right under the bus right off the shop. Well, 21 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: but more specifically on that. As far as NFL essential personnel, 22 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: this has been going on for a few weeks now. 23 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: They can't be on at team facilities here on Monday 24 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: or Tuesday day, and so Mickey happens to be in 25 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: another The Star in Frisco is so large that Mickey 26 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: can be in a non essential wing of the Star 27 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: and that's why he can be on the premises, right, Mickey, 28 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: do you realize I can't even remember the last time 29 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: I was on the other side of the building. It 30 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: might have been middle of January something like that. I 31 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: believe that because after that we had, you know, no 32 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: reason to be over there, and then you know, with 33 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of time off and then there, I mean, 34 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: we just didn't go. I think the last time they 35 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: did a deal with the assistant coaches, and I think 36 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: that was maybe been the last time anybody has been 37 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: over there, because then February hit and there was no 38 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: reason to be over there, and then by the middle 39 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: of March that that was it. It was closed down. 40 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm gonna go through a whole season without 41 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: seeing three quarters of the players on this team or 42 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: meeting them. If you can think about that, I know that, 43 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: I know Mickey. That is the most important thing. Everyone's 44 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: wondering about whether Mickey Spagnola has access to the team. 45 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: But there's a lesser important aspect of that as well. 46 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: And I was talking with Mike last week. We were 47 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 1: taping the Mike McCarthy Show on Wednesday. We normally would 48 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: do it Tuesday. Of course, Cowboys played on Tuesday, and 49 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: we normally tape his show on Tuesday, while we've switched 50 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: it to Wednesday now because he can't be at a 51 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: facility on Tuesdays during a normal work week like this 52 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: one is. But I asked, And last week they were 53 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: using the television studio to tape a Salvation Army segment, 54 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: and so I was actually in the press conference room 55 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: right there in the eighth my segment of the show, 56 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: virtually with McCarthy over in the coaches wing, the player's wing, 57 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: uh the football operations wing. And so I asked, I 58 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: asked McCarthy, I said, have you even been to this 59 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: side of the building? And he do you even know 60 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: where the press conference room is? And he doesn't even 61 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: know where it is. He has not been to the 62 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: press conference room because of course, the pandemic hit in 63 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: March and the Cowboys offseason didn't start until um, you know, 64 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: and it was virtually when it did start in April. 65 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: And you know, his opening press conference was done at 66 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: Ford Center at the Star. He has no idea where 67 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: even the press conference room is at the Star in Frisco. 68 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: That's how crazy this year is. So you tape his show, 69 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: you guys aren't together, No, but I'm in this. I'm 70 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: in the TV studio and he is where he does 71 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: normally does his press conference, which is adjacent to his 72 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: office there on the and the operations wing inside Ford 73 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: Center because they're supposed to be coming over to this 74 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: side because we aren't the testing, right, we can't can't 75 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: have any exposure to us. That's right, you guys. You 76 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: guys are just uh. It's not nothing to do with 77 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: the Corona. You guys are just play. That's what it is. 78 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: If if they could have done this years ago, they 79 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't have done this, right, This is only use now, 80 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: this a long time ago that we could get away 81 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: from the media like this. I would I would imagine 82 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: the post vaccine world up at the Star. If McCarthy 83 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: has anything to do with it. It won't change from 84 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: what it looks like right now. Not being around you guys, 85 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: I would imagine the only time I've been down down 86 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: there in the in the studio area was when we 87 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: were outside, and of course I went to the wrong area, 88 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, Spats gave me specific instructions, and of course 89 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: I still screwed it up. So I was over the 90 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: main are. Yeah, I was about to go downstairs where 91 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: we do the podcast, you know, pre COVID, and man, 92 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: they sent me through the ringer, you know, I had 93 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: to do all of this and then in the test 94 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, where's fags and you guys are outside. 95 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: So after all of that I ended up. Of course 96 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: I didn't want to tell y'all this story before the 97 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: show went outside, but yeah, I stumbled into that area 98 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: and it's it's it's you know, it's it's like a 99 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: ghost town over there. I have an office, my Ethos 100 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: Education UH Foundation has an office in the formation, and 101 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: I haven't been there either. I got this one kidney, 102 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: so I'm not even thinking about going around anyone and 103 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: being in those close confines. Oh sure, Yeah, that's that's 104 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: understandable and you know, as it relates to McCarthy, go ahead, Mickey, 105 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: now go ahead and finished with McCarthy and well, I 106 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: was gonna I was gonna say, I was gonna say, 107 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: relates to a team that's struggled now at a four 108 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: and nine record, and you know, the different storylines that 109 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: emerge as you know the heat is on the coaching 110 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: staff and so forth. It really affects things. The way 111 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: media covers the team too. We don't have and the 112 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: mintal media in general does not have access beyond the 113 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: zoom press conferences, the WebEx press conferences that are done 114 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 1: where you don't have the walk off with the coach 115 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: to get perspective on things. You don't have the opportunity 116 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: to talk off the record with coaches or players or 117 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: so forth, and it really it hurts the ability for 118 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: the media to do their job, and I think in 119 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: the end it hurts even the perspective of the coaches 120 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: and the players because what they are actually thinking, even 121 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: in an off the record perspective, is not able to 122 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: get out there to the media as easily as it 123 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: would in a normal year. Yeah, it's very It becomes 124 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: very sanitized because everybody gets the same information right. And 125 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: you know the other thing that I think it also 126 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: does is when you don't have face to face contact 127 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: with somebody, a player or coach that you're writing about, 128 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: I think it encourages people to take shots because you 129 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: don't have to be confronted with whatever you say or 130 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: whatever you write. Right, No one's gonna like, oh hey, 131 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: wait a minute, now, what did you say about me? 132 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: And you don't get that right, And you don't get 133 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: a choice of who you want to talk to. It's 134 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,119 Speaker 1: basically who they provide for you to talk. Like yesterday, 135 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, we got the coordinators finally, it's been a 136 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: while since we've been able to have a conference call 137 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: with them. So you after Mike did his deal, the 138 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: coordinator spent ten minutes or so answering questions. But it's 139 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: easy to throw hard questions at somebody when they aren't 140 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: looking at you face to face. Um, you know, same 141 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: thing like yesterday when Stephen got peppered about. You know, 142 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: is Mike McCarthy's job safe? You know, it's like all right, 143 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, I understand you want to ask that, and 144 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: you can ask tough questions, but it's easier to ask 145 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: him tough when you're separated, right, and uh so I 146 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: think that's changed things also, by the way, one thing 147 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: I was going to point out, I think before I 148 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: came down, the NFL PA did a conference call and 149 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: they had uh one of the their doctors, doctor Tom Mayer. 150 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: Uh he was he was on the conference call and 151 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: one of the questions he got and I thought this 152 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: was somewhat important what they were going to tell the 153 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: players about the vaccine like and it was like, you know, 154 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: he first said, uh, you know, you can't make them 155 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: take the vaccine. We would recommend, amended, But he also 156 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: said that what they're telling the players is there. It's 157 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: not known yet when this group of people in society 158 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: will be the vaccine will be available, and he said, 159 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: and it would be unlikely for anyone in the team 160 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: area to be vaccinated before February first, so meeting before 161 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, but he said it's there. It's their 162 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: duty though, to let the players know about the side 163 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: effects that are generally mild and that they only last 164 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: maybe a day or so if indeed you get any 165 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: side effects. So I thought that was very interesting. And 166 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: he was talking about how the vaccines ninety four effective 167 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: for the people and that they would certainly encourage the 168 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: players and their families to get vaccinated, not only for 169 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: your own good, but to help everybody else out, because 170 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to be the guy that 171 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: spreads it to somebody else that didn't get vaccinated. So, uh, yeah, 172 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: it was pretty interesting talking about how, how, how how 173 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna inform the players down the road. Yeah, I 174 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: think it's pretty interesting when you look at the NFL 175 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: and you compare them to other workplaces, they can be 176 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: extremely intrusive on your privacy as a person because even 177 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: though we have a union, you know, you don't really 178 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: look at the NFL as a corporate environment so to speak. 179 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's kind of it's almost an entity 180 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: to its own in regards to how you deal with 181 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: your employees. Usually with the NFL, they take a lot 182 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: of liberties when it comes to mandating that their players 183 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: dress a certain way, they have to come and talk 184 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: to the media. There are certain things that they are 185 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: bound to do that most corporations don't have the ability 186 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: to make you do. And now here we come with 187 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: the COVID, which is extremely important and it goes along 188 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: the same line as a flu shot that's when they 189 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: have to be hands off, right. They can't force you 190 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: to do anything and say, okay, you take this shot 191 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: or you're gonna be fired. You know you're gonna be released. 192 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: That's something that they can't do. But if you don't 193 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: show up for a press conference, okay, if you don't 194 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: talk to the media and I'm talking pre COVID and 195 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: you don't talk to the media and things of that nature, 196 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: there are certain things within the contract between the player 197 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: and the organization that clearly I think imposes on infringes 198 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: on you know, your rights as a human being. But 199 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: when it comes to this shot, they can't do that. 200 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: And I think that's a very interesting comparison in regards 201 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: to how uh these these organizations treat their employees and 202 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: especially their players on those lines. You know, it's just 203 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: like ever since you mentioned off the top with one kidney, 204 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: I mean, people have different medical conditions to where I mean, 205 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: someone cannot dictate to a person whether or not you 206 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: know that just that person has to make the decision 207 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: on their own whether they're going to take a vaccine. 208 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the clock trying to determine if we 209 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: got time. That was a great Monday night game last night, 210 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: and I want to leave enough time for us to 211 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: get into that. How about way to do this first? Mackey, 212 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: you mentioned, well, no, I want to mention this because 213 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: you take an on time break. We never take an 214 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: early break. We need to take an on time break. 215 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: You asked Chris about that. Yeah, you mentioned the question 216 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: asked to Stephen Jones yesterday, and there was an NFL 217 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: report that, uh that Mike McCarthy is coming back that 218 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: the and then and so I have to I have 219 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: to go on my CBS eleven newscasts last night, sportscast 220 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: last night and say that that. And you know, we 221 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: used the sound bite from Stephen Jones saying he's coming 222 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: back whatever. And I said, Stephen Jones asking answering the 223 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: question that nobody's asking because there's there's not any there 224 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: hadn't been any speculation that Mike McCarthy wouldn't be coming back. 225 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: Nobody's asking that question. But we in the media, we 226 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: make it into a story because, Okay, now we got 227 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: a sound bite confirming that he's coming back. Well, nobody 228 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: nobody thought he wasn't coming back next year. I mean, 229 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: it's just crazy the way our business works, and all 230 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: it has to do is one tale. The tale is 231 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: wagging the dog. One person asked the question, right, One 232 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: person asked the question and and you know, and I 233 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: think he kind of said, frankly, I don't even think 234 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: I should need to answer this. Um, you know, I 235 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: had even been a thought. And then Mike McCarthy, and 236 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: then it's got to be asked, Hey, the Stephen Jones 237 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: gave you, you know, it's like a ringing endorsement, ringing endorsement. 238 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: That and the way the question was asked to Steven 239 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: because I think Ian Rappaport had a report that Mike 240 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: McCarthy is coming back, okay, And so then it gets 241 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: asked if Stephen on the radio that are you surprised 242 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: that it's even being questioned that Mike McCarthy. So then 243 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: so then Steven has to answer it. So then it 244 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: gets turned around Mike McCarthy that okay, Well, Stephen Jones 245 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: says you're coming back. Whatever. It all gets twisted like 246 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: it's a story all of a sudden, and then this 247 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: morning Jerry gets asked about it, and so and so 248 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: now we're going on forty eight hours of a non 249 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: story where they're having to react to it. It's crazy. 250 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: And Mike Nolan was asked, that's you guys fault. That's 251 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: all you guys. Don't say guys, that's why. That's why 252 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: y'alls talked about y'all so badly. He called you that. 253 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: I believe he called you. He was before Trump calling 254 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: y'all the enemy of the people, if I'm not mistaken, 255 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, now where the defenders of the people. And 256 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: don't confuse talk radio with us guys. Okay, they're entertainers, 257 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: were journalists and good. Let's not ever make that mistake again. 258 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: But but that's the way the old fake news narrative 259 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: gets going, is is all right?

But you know what's happened is, 334 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, early in earlier rounds of the playoffs, if 335 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: there's a COVID outbreak on a on a team, on 336 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: a high school football team, they just got a forfeit 337 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: the game. They can't play, and so you forfeit the game. 338 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: The good news for that team of the town. But 339 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: the good news for that is they're just going to 340 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: go ahead and postpone their state championship game and play 341 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: it like a month from now when they play the 342 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: other state championship games, so it being the last round, 343 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: they don't lose playing the game. But uh, but yeah, 344 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: that's the way, that's the way. It is. Is so crazy. 345 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: But the show must go on. That's right, that's exactly right. 346 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: And it was last night. It was a show that 347 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: before we get into it, but before last night, though, 348 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: I want to mention this, what do you think of 349 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: the announcers on the Cowboy game this week? This past week, 350 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: he had Kevin Coogler and Chris Spielman doing the game, 351 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: and I thought, I really liked Mickey shaking his head there. 352 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: I like listening to Chris Spielman on the game. Spielman 353 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,959 Speaker 1: was fine. That Spielman was fine, Yeah, yeah, and all right. 354 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: And the reason I bring it up is that is 355 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: the last game Chris Spielman will be doing because he 356 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: is leaving the Fox broadcast booth and he is joining 357 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: the front office of the Detroit Lions. That's breaking news, 358 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: uh this afternoon, so he do so I found I 359 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: found an analyst that's a that's not a cowboy, a 360 00:22:52,880 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: former cowboy. I gotta ask Bill, you know who impressed 361 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: me since you brought that up, and I think I 362 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: mentioned his name when he broadcast our game. I thought 363 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: Jonathan Villema did a good job. I didn't know who 364 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,239 Speaker 1: he was by voice when I heard it, but I 365 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: thought he did a really thorough job in regards to 366 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: our game. I don't think we won that game, so 367 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: that's why you might not be so impressed with him. No, No, 368 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: that was the Viking game. He did the Viking game. 369 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: He really did a good job. He didn't talk too much. 370 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: He he just seemed to be very precise in what 371 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: he was saying. His thoughts were good, and he worked 372 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: well with the with the play by play. I did 373 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: like Spielman, but I enjoyed Villema just a little bit 374 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: more because I was surprised to hear that was his 375 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: name in the booth. And from then on when I listened, 376 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: I was impressed. Yeah, all right, and I and I've 377 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: hearded Spielman before. I just I just it was a 378 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: different voice, and I enjoyed it all. Monday night last night. 379 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: What do you think of that game? I mean, there 380 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: are games that happened during the course of a regular 381 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: season that remember, you know last year was it last 382 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: year when the Chiefs played the Rams and there was 383 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: a crazy game that went into the fifties whatever picks? Yeah, yeah, right, 384 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: And that was that was like one of the might 385 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: have been the most memorable game from that regular season, 386 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: the last Night's Monday Night game, and especially the storylines 387 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson leaving the game, coming back and first 388 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: play throws a forty four yard touchdown past to Hollywood 389 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: Brown and to give him the lead, and then Baker 390 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: brings him back and then Justin Tucker wins it on 391 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: a fifty five yard field goal. I mean that that 392 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: game had a little bit of everything, you know. I like. 393 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: What I liked about that game was the drama of 394 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: it all. To me, a little bit over hyked. In 395 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: regards to Lamar coming out of the dressing room. It's 396 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: not like he was Willis Reid with a broken ankle, 397 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. There's one word that he had, 398 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: you know, just his hamstrings got tight on him. The 399 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: other word was he had to go relieve himself that one. 400 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: So you've got those two, you know, stories out there, 401 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: and whichever one they are. I mean, Okay, the guy 402 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: came out of locker room through a touch I didn't 403 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: I didn't look at it as a New York Knicks 404 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: Willis Reed moment. Not that particular moment. The entire ball game, now, yes, 405 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: was amazing because both teams came to play. We know 406 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,719 Speaker 1: how much Baltimore needed this game, I think more than 407 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: the Browns needed it, and the fact that they came 408 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: out and finally played well offensively. I mean defensively, Baltimore 409 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: is still in trouble. You know, they still let the 410 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: Browns just run all over them. May Feel also had 411 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: a great game, So I think he had You possibly 412 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: had at least two hundred yards rushing against that defense, 413 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: and you had Mayfield uh through for almost four hundred yards. 414 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: So as far as I'm concerned that that whole game, 415 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: it was a good game. But but the whole Superman 416 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: coming out of the locker room, I thought that was 417 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: a little bit over place. Well did they ever did 418 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: they ever specify why he went into the locker room? 419 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: I was working, he did. I was working, and so 420 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: I was kind of half listening, half working, and then 421 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: when the game got good, I said, oh, screw work, 422 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: I'll finish it later. I'm watching this. But did they 423 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: ever say why he went in during the game broadcast? Yeah, 424 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: he said it? Who said it? He said that he 425 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: went in? No, No, I mean during the game. No, 426 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: I mean during the game. They were saying cramps. During 427 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: the game, they said it was cramps. That's what they said. Well, 428 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: there's different kind of cramps you can have, By the way, 429 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: I see, that's why you have Tether going off saying 430 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: it was mentreal Forday's situation could have worked very well 431 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: doing that situation, and so I don't know he said 432 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: leg cramp. He Lamar Jackson actually said leg cramp as 433 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: he explained it. And then he saw mcsoley go down 434 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: and he comes, you know, coming out of there. He 435 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: still looked like he was walking tight now, walking with 436 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: a tight hamstring and walking with constipation. They looked just 437 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: the light. Really, I could imagine that you if you 438 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: want to analyze it. So, I you know, I think 439 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: it was a little overblown about the bidet. I do 440 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: eve it was just a hamstring issue. He did he 441 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: did have a lot of good runs last night. What 442 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: he did he read for over one hundred yards. What 443 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: do you mean, okay, okay, that that was your setup? 444 00:27:53,480 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: Was that with the ball? Because that was a pretty 445 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: fog sprit from the locker room to the bench too. 446 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: But oh man, well, you know they early on they 447 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: talked about you can't tell his hands from the ball 448 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: because he's brown. So I would imagine if he was 449 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: in a particular situation, you still got brown to deal with. So, 450 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: you know, after watching that game and you said how 451 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: it relates to things that we see with the Cowboys. 452 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: Maybe we just need to get off the defense because 453 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: even the good teams don't play good defense. You just 454 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: got to score fifty points, right, This is turning into 455 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: college football. At definitely high school football, no one plays 456 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: defense or there's not enough athletes, so the good ones 457 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: are all on offense and everybody else go play defense 458 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: and we'll just try to outscore him. But it lets 459 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: you know, it lets you know the importance those bags 460 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: of situational football. You understand there are certain moments in 461 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: a ball game. You have to be prepared for it 462 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: because it can make or break your drive, It can 463 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: make or break your quarter, can make or break your game. 464 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: So to me, it makes coaching even more important to 465 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: be prepared with whoever you're playing with. I don't care 466 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: if it's a practice player or not. When you when 467 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: we go over something, you have to listen to what 468 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: we're saying because this point of the ball game is 469 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: going to be important. As much as we saw scores 470 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: and amazing plays, it still comes down to situational ball. 471 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: The most important situation last night, fourth down in five, right, 472 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: that's when he comes out of the out of the 473 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: locker room. He makes that fourth down in five situational football. 474 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: It don't get it convoluted with all these great plays. 475 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: It still comes down to certain parts of a ball 476 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: game that you have to be prepared for and you 477 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: have to win that battle. Never let that be confused 478 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: with all the points of the being scored. See and 479 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: what do you think of go ahead? And aid Mickey? No, 480 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: go ahead? Uh? I was gonna say, what what do 481 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: you think of Stefanski's decision to go for two? Where 482 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: they were down thirty four, They were down thirty four 483 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: twenty They scored a touchdown to make it thirty four 484 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: twenty six. Now they had missed two extra points earlier. 485 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: Cody Parky had their kicker, and they decided to go 486 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: for two to make it thirty four to twenty eight. 487 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: And how did it play out after that? They wound 488 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: up taking the lead, that's right to make it and 489 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: then comes back to take the lead, the pressure on 490 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: Baltimore where they had to anyway, it was, it was 491 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: it was the height of analytics right there, Mickey. You 492 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: think you think it was analytics or do you think 493 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: he looked at his kicker and I'm going I'm not 494 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: missing another extra point. We're better off just going two 495 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: and yeah, that's the guy. That's the guy that had 496 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: a history, right, that's the guy the Bears got rid of. 497 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: Y Oh my god, is that that guy? Right? And 498 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: what I expected from him? Who's that that miss forty 499 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: field goals in the playoff game when Trubisky was having 500 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: a good season? Was that two years ago? Yeah? Yeah, 501 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: he banged went off the up anyway. You know, once 502 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: once they once they made the two point conversion, I 503 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: was sitting there going, I'm I'm kind of liking this. 504 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: You know, they had momentum Old Moe was on their 505 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: side at that point, and uh, I kind of like 506 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: the decision because when you think about it, I'm starting 507 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: to come around on this idea of going for two 508 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: like that because you you always have the opportunity. You're 509 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: still only down eight. Okay, even if you don't make 510 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: it where you're still within a score. That's true. I 511 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: would have a real problem with it if it was otherwise. 512 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't agree. I would not I would 513 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: not agree with it. If I am down. Let's say 514 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm down thirty four to twenty five and I'm going 515 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: for two to get it within seven, I would kick 516 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: it then to make sure I'm getting within eight. A lot. 517 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure the analytics would say, I don't like a 518 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: lot of coaches. We had that situation coming about yesterday. 519 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: Was it? God, I can't remember the team, but they 520 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: had it. They were trying to they were down by ten, 521 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: and they decided to try and score first. And I'm 522 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: talking to my son and I'm thinking, man, I really 523 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: kicked this field goal now, because at that time they 524 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: were just under three minutes to play in the ball game. 525 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: Let me just kick this field goal instead of trying 526 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: to grind my way into the end zone and using 527 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of time. Well that's what they ended up doing. 528 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: They used a bunch of time, and of course they 529 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: didn't have time to it was I think that it 530 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: was the Saints. It was the Saints, wasn't it was 531 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: because they were down, they were down ten and they 532 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: needed to score twice. They ended up scoring the touchdown 533 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: they could have saved. They took him like a minute, 534 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: took him a minute to see what happened. What happened 535 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: on the Saints game was they took a sack and 536 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: then they kicked along field goal, didn't make it, and 537 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: then Jalen Hurts fumbled. Hurts fumbled, and they went ahead 538 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: and drove down and scored the touchdown, and then on 539 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: the onside kick they came. The one I'm talking about 540 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: is Miami in Kansas City. Okay, okay, Miami, kse Miami 541 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: was down there trying to score because they were down 542 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: by two scores. And if I'm not mistaken, it took 543 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: him like a minute ten seconds to score. Way too 544 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: much valuable time, because you still you still need to 545 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: field goal after you score. So do you go for 546 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: the field goal first? Get that out of the way. 547 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: Quick money, quick money, and then you still have time. 548 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: Don't even have to do an onside kick. Kick it deep, 549 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: hopefully stop them, use your timemouth or whatever. Sometimes no timemouse. 550 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: But it's still a better management of the clock. I think. 551 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: I think so too. I agree with you. All Right, 552 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: now we blew through that break and so we're past 553 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: time on it.

Yes, 598 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: that looks like it is going to be back to 599 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: work on Wednesday. He's out of it. It looks like 600 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: he's going to be out of his COVID protocol or 601 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: COVID reserve issue reserve COVID nineteen. Yeah, Mike McCarthy said, 602 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: Cheeto would He anticipated him being back on Wednesday. Also 603 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: said that Savian Smith, with the hand injury suffered in 604 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: the game. He said he's going to try to go Wednesday. 605 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: Maybe Donovan Wilson will be back, and maybe Trayvon Diggs 606 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: hopefully maybe, he said on Wednesday. So that's kind of 607 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,240 Speaker 1: a quick injury update. He also pointed out that this week, 608 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: since it's getting close to the end of the season, 609 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: what he normally does is through the practices during the week, 610 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: he's cutting sixty minutes out to make sure he's keeping 611 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: his team's legs fresh. So how about this, So it 612 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 1: looks like the forty nine ers are going to go 613 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 1: to CJ. Bethard as their starting quarterback, maybe Benching Mullins. 614 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,320 Speaker 1: I went back and looked, and I was thinking CJ. Bethard. 615 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: He played against the Cowboys before, and he did. He 616 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: started the twenty seventeen game against the Cowboys when Kaepernick 617 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: not Kaepernick, they benched Brian Hoyer and so now the 618 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,439 Speaker 1: last this will be the third time in a row 619 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: they've played the forty nine Ers without their starting quarterback 620 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 1: because in twenty sixteen, when they played the Niners, Kaepernick 621 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: was still coming back from three offseason surgeries thumbnee, and shoulder, 622 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: so Blaine Gabbert was the starting quarterback in that game. 623 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 1: The Cowboys only one twenty four to seventeen. So once 624 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: again the Cowboys are gonna face C. J. Beethard, who 625 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: in that game in twenty seventeen completed twenty two of 626 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: thirty eight passes for two hundred and thirty five yards. 627 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: He ran five times for thirty but he was sacked 628 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: five times five times. And guess who caught one pass 629 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: for five yards in that game? Some guy named Hiccotini, 630 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: the tight end that's now on the Cows practice squad, 631 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: Cole Hiccotini caught one pass in that game. Well, I 632 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: would not have guessed that. I bet you wouldn't have. 633 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: How's that for digging up a stat And then the 634 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: other thing that's questionable for San Francisco is most Dirt 635 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: has an ankle. They're not sure if he'll be ready 636 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:05,320 Speaker 1: to go along with UH. George's kittle is on IR 637 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,919 Speaker 1: and he's got a foot. They're thinking he might get 638 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,280 Speaker 1: back UH this week, but they're pretty definite. Jimmy Garoppolo 639 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: is not ready to go UH in that game, So 640 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: if Mostar is not there, Tevin Coleman will share running 641 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: back duties UH for the for the forty nine ers, 642 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: who are now five and eight, only one game better 643 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,839 Speaker 1: than the Cowboys, by the way, oh and by the way, 644 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: one more, one more, and this one's really important. Deebo 645 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: Samuel's out. He's got a hamstring and he looks like 646 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,919 Speaker 1: he may miss the rest of the game. And that 647 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,800 Speaker 1: guy is a big renting Yeah, that guy is an 648 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: He could be the running back if Mosta didn't make it. 649 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: I promise you this guy's a stun I saw that earlier, Spags. 650 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,879 Speaker 1: I'm so glad. I don't want him for his sake, right, 651 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: you don't want to see him hurt. But a guy 652 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 1: like Diebo being out, it kind of piques my interests 653 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 1: a little bit. And how it can you know, relieve 654 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: our defense a little bit. Then you're talking about most 655 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: of being out, but it's backup Coleman. That guy runs 656 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: downhill as well. Yeah, this is just that team's culture. 657 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: That team's culture really a lot like I was in 658 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,720 Speaker 1: regards to the running game. No matter what, we really 659 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: want to establish that that position for us offensively, you 660 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: got kittled out. I think he's gonna continue to be out. 661 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,280 Speaker 1: You've got Debo out. The Cowboys have a chance, guys, 662 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: they really have a chance. I remember when we were 663 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: one in fifteen, back in nineteen eighty nine, Losing it 664 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 1: at home was always so disheartening because you felt like 665 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: you just let not just your teammates down, but everyone 666 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: else who was at the game. And sometimes playing on 667 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: the road can be a little bit of a reprieve 668 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: for you. Right, we won our only game at all 669 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,399 Speaker 1: f K. You remember that, Oh, I do very well. 670 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 1: We beat beat Doug Williams and the at that time 671 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,720 Speaker 1: Washington Redskins, and that was our only winning the season, 672 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,280 Speaker 1: And it did feel good to play away from home 673 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: and get away from the from the disappointment that you 674 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: kept laying down at that time at Texas Stadium. So 675 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys felt a little better being on 676 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: the road. Winning on the road, that's really a great 677 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: feeling to win on the road. It really feels better 678 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: than winning at home. So hopefully they could kind of 679 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: get that out of the system like they did in Cincinnati, 680 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: and come back home and do work. Donovan Wilson being 681 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: out I can never remember his name, but him being out, 682 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: of him being possibly in this ball game, that also 683 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: gives me a little bit of, you know, a little 684 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: bit of hope, because I really liked the way he 685 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: established a presence in that secondary. He's the only one 686 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: that I saw coming up in a timely fashion and 687 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: not just throwing his head in there just trying to 688 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 1: hit somebody, but he was making timely, precise hits on 689 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: receivers and running backs. I'd be good to see him 690 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,399 Speaker 1: come back in the game. Maybe he can make a 691 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: difference like he did I thought in the Vikings game 692 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: and propel us to have some type of a defensive, 693 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: stubborn presence in that second day. You know this, Vike 694 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: surprised you about people do what they want. We just 695 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,240 Speaker 1: might surprise you about Donovan Wilson. So he has started 696 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: seven games, so just one more than half they've played. 697 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,720 Speaker 1: He ranked sixth on the team right now, No, tied 698 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 1: tied for fifth with forty seven tackles. The guy in 699 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: fourth has forty nine, so he's almost fourth in total tackles. 700 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: And he's only started seven games, So that tells you 701 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 1: sort of the impact he's had back there as a 702 00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,280 Speaker 1: safety making tackles. He's got two and a half acts 703 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: quarterback pressure, two forced fumbles, and obviously he recovered no. 704 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 1: Three force fumbles. No, yeah, three force fumbles and two recovered. 705 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: So yeah, he's made an impact. You know, And I 706 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: was going to ask you ever since if you ever 707 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 1: remember being on a team that and you guys didn't 708 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 1: have a practice squad, you had taxi squad or whatever 709 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: that stuff was called. But going like having to go 710 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: three and four deep at the cornerback position to get 711 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 1: through a game like the Cowboys did this past Sunday, 712 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: that's unbelievable that they're out there with practice. We have 713 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: never we have never had that now, we have never 714 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,760 Speaker 1: had that, having to go that deep. But you remember 715 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty nine, Jimmy was looking for players from 716 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 1: all over the country or maybe even all over the world. 717 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: We're out there practicing, and we see people almost what 718 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: our jersey numbers are out there, you know, trying out 719 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 1: for the cowboy and seeing who they can replace. So 720 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 1: they were always running guys in the forty they were 721 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: always having them do drills, and here we are at 722 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,399 Speaker 1: that time hadn't won a freaking ball game. I think 723 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 1: we were oh and eight before we became one and eight. 724 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: And Jimmy Johnson did not hold any secrets. He's like, look, well, 725 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: we're working guys out to take y'all spot. So if 726 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: you guys want to keep playing like crap like you're doing, 727 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,839 Speaker 1: one of these guys gonna take your position. That was 728 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 1: always one of the most bold, outrageous things I had 729 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 1: seen a long time fore. We kind of nicknamed that 730 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,439 Speaker 1: the revolving door. Right. A guy would come in on 731 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 1: Tuesday workout, he would practice for the first time on Wednesday. 732 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 1: He would start on Sunday and get cut on Monday. 733 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 1: That happened over and over and over again. That was 734 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 1: that was the closest we came build to a COVID situation. 735 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: Was just to suck as badly as we did in 736 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine. Hey, I'm gonna leave. Yeah, No, it 737 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 1: had an inability. It was foot problem. Yes, talents, I'm 738 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: gonna leave you this with this stat And I don't 739 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 1: know who gets charged with coming up with these things, 740 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:19,880 Speaker 1: but LP Latticer, a Canadian, has played two hundred and 741 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,360 Speaker 1: fifty games in the National Football League. He is tied 742 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: with one Eddie Murray for the most games played by 743 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: a Canadian born player in the National Football League? Who 744 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 1: figures that stuff out? And I heard it and I said, well, 745 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,800 Speaker 1: let me look up and see. Oh.
