1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Okay, welcome back to you back nation. It is time 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: for the Jerry Jones Show, brought you by Ford, the 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: official vehicle of the Dallas Cowboys. Ford is the best 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: in Texas and over here on there he is. Good morning, 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 1: mister Jones. How are you doing today? Hey, guys, great 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: to be on with you, and we're ready for a 7 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: big weekend. Well, Jerry, our friend Chris Arnold isn't with 8 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: us today. But I'm just wondering. We heard that when 9 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: you went into the locker room you might have been 10 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: doing some oo. We in after that when in Philadelphia, 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: I was wondering, Chris, it's about to get that tail 12 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 1: into that. We had to get that down a little bit. 13 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: I need to hear Chris do it once before I 14 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: go in there. I'm having start staying right outside the 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: locker room, giving me that for a go in right on. Well, 16 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: hopefully we get another opportunity here Sunday afternoon. How important 17 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 1: is this game considering what happened down there last year? 18 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Does it have a little something extra on it for you? Well? 19 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: It does, and I think that there were so many 20 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:06,639 Speaker 1: things about that adding that we wanted to redo that. 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: It gives us a great template to be sure, we're 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: working on those things. But of course, as we all know, 23 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: these teams of OV both the Cowboys as well as 24 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: our opponent, and so there's a lot of a lot 25 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: of current things that they've exhibited over the last nine 26 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: ball games eight ball games that we've got to keep around. 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: But still they've added that other receivers from Alabama in 28 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: there that we thought was really good in the draft, 29 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: and he's added to mention he's a good football player. 30 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: How much better shape are you guys in this time 31 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: around than you were last year heading in there? Well, 32 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: first of all with Zeke and the I think you 33 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: might say that we've adjusted prior to the game this 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: year because of not had Frederick and because of Xavier 35 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: zee Fudo that is playing well, and of course we 36 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: got Tyron. I'd say that on balance, we've made the 37 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: adjustments hopefully before the game rather than had to count 38 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: on making them during the game like we did when 39 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: we lost Tyron last year. So it seems like you 40 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: got the best left guard play you've gotten all year 41 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: last week, and it wasn't from Connor Williams. How do 42 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: you view that pick of Connor and what his future 43 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: looks like obviously it's very early in his career. Well, 44 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: I would. I'm so proud to have him, and he's 45 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: a real long term asset for that unit and the 46 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: offensive line, which is arguably you could say the strength 47 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: of our team, although that linebacking corps coming home pretty 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: strong and so, but Connor Williams has played really I 49 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: think very very as to expectation, i'd say it that way. 50 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: We know what a challenge it is for a rookie. 51 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: We know very few rookies come in like Zach Martin 52 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: and make All Pro But still we're glad that he's 53 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: a part of our future. And frankly, he's no farther 54 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: away than the next stat snap at any point. He's 55 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: got a lot of position flex Connor Williams does. He 56 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: can play all the positions so and that may be 57 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: a little reach at center, but not much. But I 58 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: think he's a big part of our future and future 59 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: being as we look as we move towards the playoffs, 60 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: what are the chances that his future might be as 61 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: a tackle? Well, well, I think flex, which is position 62 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: interchangeable qualities. He has that he has great feet, he 63 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: has a great football sense about he does they all 64 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: do and will get stronger. All of that is in 65 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: his future and that lets us look at him at multipositions. 66 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: Jerry Layton Vander Eshcott defensive player of the Week in 67 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: the NFL. But what we heard this week from you 68 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: guys to the Dallas Cowboys is that Jaylen Smith actually 69 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: graded out better. And so I'd like for you to 70 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: kind of maybe be specific here help us out, because 71 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: I thought Jalen had a solid game too, but Laton 72 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: just had the interception and the unbelievable tackle late in 73 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: the game. What did Jalen do or what is he 74 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: doing to get those very high marks from you guys. 75 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Grades are a little bit of enigma the actual grade, 76 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: because it's possible to grade lower than one of an 77 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: offensive line than one of your teammates, but yet have 78 00:04:52,600 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: made more substantive plays. And that is the case. Layton 79 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: really had some frankly game changing plays and but still 80 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: could have had a ERA or two, and one ERA 81 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: can drop you down pretty good on a grade, So 82 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: all of that is factored in. But it's possible to 83 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: have a lesser grade but a better game than a teammate, 84 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 1: and that's I don't know that that was the case. 85 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: Now what we're seeing and Smith is a real consistency 86 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: at a very high level. Consistency at a very high level. 87 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: Now that's an ordinance. You're seeing that from Jalen Smith. 88 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: You'll see, for instance, when you look at certain qualities 89 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: they have. Jalen is violent, He's got great burst. Jalen Smith, 90 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: vanderge has unique coverage skills. He breaks on the ball, 91 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 1: he anticipates well. But more importantly are just as important, 92 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: not more importantly as he's got that big span, those 93 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: long arms, and that's intimidating to a quarterback when he's 94 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: looking in the middle. It's just like it's intimidating to 95 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: a quarterback to be in his face up the middle. 96 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: If you're putting a bass rush on you might not 97 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: hit him, but he knows sees those arms and he 98 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: sees that the vision compromise. Vanderish does that in the 99 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: middle of the field and a little bit like McLean 100 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: used to do it. Just their length and their ability 101 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: to use and break on the ball plus the length 102 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: creates a real problem for quarterbacks. So Jerry, that latent 103 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: Vanderish pick is looking really good right now for the Cowboys, 104 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: And I think the Falcons are pretty happy with their 105 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: first round pick too. Calvin Ridley's really helped that offense. 106 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: This is just kind of for my curiosity, but could 107 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: you tell us how you stacked those guys up on 108 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: draft today, Vanderish and Calvin Riddle. Well, we we were 109 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: i'd say, in more of a need at receiver, but 110 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: thought that the player that could probably help us the 111 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: most strange as it seems offensively because it helped us 112 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: get off the field, was the uniqueness of Vanderish. And 113 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: uh So, we obviously made made a choice. And I 114 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: believe was Ridley gone when we got there. He was not. 115 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: He was not. He was picked in the twenties. I 116 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: think we made the choice and uh it was it 117 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: was without hesitation when Vandreish got there. He was really 118 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: our guy in the clubhouse when we started the draft, 119 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: and we'd hoped that we and thought that he would 120 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: be there for us, and we were going to pick 121 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: him from the good gil So, speaking Obama wide receivers, 122 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: how much of a difference as AMR. Cooper made for 123 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense so far? Well, I think to the 124 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: proverbial saying wait wait until you see the future is 125 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: appropriate here, he's really got the ability to really improve 126 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: his coordination with Dak by the practice, and both of 127 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: them have that kind of work ethic in that kind 128 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: of focus. Well, that's shades of aigment and irving their 129 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: relative to getting on the same page I'm talking about there. Now, 130 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: they knew each other's body language and just shadowed I 131 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: guess everything about their play and urban would look up 132 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: and there would be the ball. I think you're going 133 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: to see that improve just because of the nature of 134 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: both those players, their work ethic, their ability to take 135 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: what they work on from practice to game, their ability 136 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: to take it from the classroom to the practice. Yealm Jerry. 137 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: When we look at the schedules, these things are so 138 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: hard to predict, and you know you can end up 139 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: looking really you know, naive to attempt to do it. 140 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: But based on what I see over the last seven games, 141 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys need to win at least five of them, 142 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: go five and two down the stretch. Does your club 143 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: have a run in it like that? Well, first of all, 144 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: don't try that seriously, try for fun, but don't be 145 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: serious about that, because if you could pick them, we'd 146 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: own the world. Okay, we'd have it all, Yes, sir, 147 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: you can't pick it. Yeah, And I've never seen anything 148 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: with as much ambigoity as trying to figure out what 149 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: we have to win. The facts are that every loss 150 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: will be a real, real, real hurdle to overcome any 151 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: loss from here on out and to get in the 152 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: playoffs for us, and so we've got to look at 153 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: it that way. We just need to win the quarter 154 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: and we need to win the half, need to win 155 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: the game. So I don't know if you heard of, 156 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: but what do you what do you think about the 157 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: desperate team theory. We've been having a lot of fun 158 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: because Mickey Spagnola and Brian brought us had a couple 159 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: round go around about that debate. Where do you come out? 160 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: Do you want to see your team playing desperate like 161 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: this is we got to be, you know, with our 162 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: hair on fire right here? Or do you like a 163 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: more measured approach weekend and week out. I like urgency, 164 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: urgency of everything yesterday, everything urgent with an attentive urgency, 165 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: which means you're on your toes, you're listening to the 166 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: snap count, you understand what a flinch might do to 167 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: impact that possession. If you're an offensive layman or an 168 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: offensive player. Urgency is the word, and if that will 169 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: if you and I were sitting here and in the more, 170 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: I mean we were going to drop some of our 171 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: weaponue we were in the Air force and we had 172 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: to go into Iraq or lay a plane over on 173 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: the side and go down through the valley. The guy 174 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: that had done that twenty times the night before, we'd 175 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: be hanging on every breath, every word, and we probably 176 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't sleep. We'd be that urgent because we knew of 177 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: what was at stake, our own hide to go through there. Well, 178 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: this isn't that, this isn't war. But those guys can 179 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: listen to everything, little smudging of information be that urgent 180 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: so that when we go on the field we cannot 181 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: make mistakes. If we do that, we'll win games. Jerry, 182 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: can you give us an update on kind of the 183 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: defensive line, as there's quite a few guys right now 184 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: on the injury report like Taco, Charlton and Collins and 185 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: other guys they sell a few more days possibly to 186 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: suit out on Sunday. Do you feel like those guys 187 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: are going to be able to be on the team 188 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Well, you're covering several names there. Collins looks good, 189 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: Taco is a maybe just to name those two. Irvin 190 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: doesn't look available, but his status is really a day 191 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: to day of evaluation, and so Woods looks like he's 192 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: going to be able to be there for us, and 193 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: so you know, it's it's close. The question is do 194 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: we compromise by having him out there not playing at 195 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: one hundred percent? And that's really what I'm asking is 196 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: who can be out there at one hundred percent. Collins 197 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 1: should be better than he's been as far as his 198 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: health is concerned the last couple of weeks, and so 199 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: each of those guys, you know, you don't know when 200 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: it's going to happen. We have one of our lamin 201 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: tweak is a lower leg there and on the sideline 202 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: before the game. So I think in general though, because 203 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: of our depth, we did come out of our training 204 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: camp with really good depth there and it's paying off 205 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: for us in our defensive line. So, Jerry, I'm feeling 206 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: pretty confident about Sunday and getting the Cowboys victory, and 207 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: I sure would like to place a legal wager on 208 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: it here inside of Texas. Do you support that idea 209 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: and do you think we could get some momentum going 210 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: towards that happening in the foreseeable future. Well, I do. 211 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: I think that it's happening. It happens. It's a very 212 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: significant part of I'm not talking about specifically that would 213 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: make it illegal gambling in Texas, but wagering on sports 214 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: is such a major part of the interest in sport, 215 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: and there's some big pluses having it structured and having 216 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: your finger on it, which is of what you do 217 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: when the States so supervise and take direct involvement in gaming. 218 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: But gaming is a huge part of the interest in 219 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: sports all over the world. It's a huge part of 220 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: interests in sports in the United States. I support it 221 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: in it unquestionably can be co exists the without compromising 222 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: the integrity of anything of the game or anything. So 223 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm very much for a gaming as it relates to sport. Now, Jerry, 224 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: you also are a majority owner of an e sports team, Complexity, 225 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: and I would like to get on the call of 226 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: duty team on your esports team, and I'm not good enough. 227 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: How much poll do you have with the team? Well, 228 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: if it'll check your DNA and see how much Jones 229 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: Bloods you got in you does that help, I'll help 230 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: you a little bit seriously, seriously, and I'm nine fifty seven, 231 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: so you could very well ask. But with that in mind, 232 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: the good thing is that we're all playing up around 233 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: the rim in that arena right now, trying to see 234 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: what's going to happen and see where the ball is 235 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: going to be. But we just want to be up 236 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: around the rim, be substantive in it, and see where 237 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: we go from here. I just like the enthusiasm of 238 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: the competition that's involved there. Anytime you can see competition, 239 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: I like to get involved. But you know, if you 240 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: look at it, I have certainly am interested in all sports, 241 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: love to play baseball, but I have very much focused 242 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: on nothing but the Cowboys and nothing but football. But 243 00:15:54,840 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: this esport thing has some compatibility or has some aspects 244 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: to our game, the marketing of it, the promotion of it, 245 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: as well as the competitiveness that becomes the reason that 246 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: we're involved. And then Jerry, last question for you, Pat Mahomes, 247 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: since he said Hines fifty seven, it just I thought 248 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: a ketch up. Pat Mahomes said he likes ketch up 249 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: on his steaks. He likes ketch up on his mac 250 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: and cheese. Where do you come out on that? And 251 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: what's kind of maybe the weirdest thing that you might 252 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: put ketch up on? Well, I love ketchup in chili 253 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: and had rather either hot tomorley than breathe, and so 254 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: I like a little ketchup on some good hot tomorllies. 255 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: But ketchup is a is a big part of it. 256 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: I'm kind of with those though. On steak, I like 257 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: to have that a little unfettered and so I really 258 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: get the full flavor there. And so I don't do 259 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: ketchup any place like that. I used to as a 260 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: kid do catch up with scrambled eggs, and why I 261 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: don't know. But when I've got enough sense to know 262 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: to really know what I was doing, I quit that. Well. 263 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: Appreciate j as always give him heck over there and 264 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: we'll be pulling for you. Thanks, guys. Enjoy it there 265 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: you go, Yes, we enjoy it too.
