1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Good morning, Jerry. How are you? John R. J? Good

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: morning Jerry. We know you are limited to a degree

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: in what you can say, but we're just really confused

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: over this layout Colins situation. We don't understand where the

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: language and the policy calls for a suspension. Why all

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: this testing is still taking place with the substance changes

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: heading into this year. Well, what can you tell us

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: about how this whole thing played out? Well, the policy,

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: it's a mistake to totally look or refer to the

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: language in a policy when you have the ability, as in,

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: if you will, the governance of the commissioner that can

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: overrule anything and give his interpretation and make his final judgment.

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Now the Commissioner hadn't gotten involved in this one yet,

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: but uh, there are a lot of different nuances there,

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways to look at the policy. Uh,

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: you've had the thing aired out pretty good. You had

17
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: a mediator judge type basically make a decision on it,

18
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: and then we'll go from there and see if there's

19
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: any reliefs that he can get higher in the chain,

20
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: so to speak, possibly even with the commissioner. And that's

21
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: about all I can tell you. It's got a It's

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: a very very convoluted situation, but there there. Our policy

23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: as it stands right now, has a lot of emphasis

24
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: on the if you will the process, the process of

25
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: meeting with consultants, of consulting ruler to whatever your issue is.

26
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: And if that's infringe, don't. In other words, if that's

27
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: not adhered to in a pretty formal way, then you

28
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: can get in some pretty abby areas there regarding your

29
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: eligibility to play. Now that's a mouthful, but that's about

30
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: all I can say, Jerry. How long does the appeal

31
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: process generally take for this? And in some sports you

32
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: could play while the appeal process is going on, But

33
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: is that the case here? Process? Here, he's suspended as

34
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: we speak, he won't play Sunday, and so the process

35
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have a link to it at all. And so

36
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: as of right now he's living with the adjudication of

37
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: five games. How frustrating is all this? Jerry? It is

38
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: a nice start. I know you didn't get the win,

39
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: but we were all feeling pretty good. You had the

40
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: defending chance right there. Offense and Dak looked amazing. We

41
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: know what happened with the offensive line last year. How

42
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: how frustrating. Is this for you? It's not frustrating. We're

43
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: going to be dealing when you have eighty players and

44
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: you do approximately counting your practice squad, when you have

45
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: the issues of injury that you deal with, when you

46
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: have the COVID thing. Basically putting the active players out

47
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: on the field every week is evolving thing. It has

48
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: been for years as part of the game. Everybody's dealing

49
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: with it all thirty two teams, Jerry Juff, you take

50
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: where you are. You continually evaluate. We had two players

51
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: in yesterday. We were evaluating corner and receiver, and so really, uh,

52
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: it's it's it's our game, it's the NFL. How is

53
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Dak feeling physically after that amazing performance but also that

54
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: that workload outstanding, out standing, He came through it great.

55
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: First question I asked, not only after the game, but

56
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: days after the game, how's he doing? And he's just

57
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: doing great? All right? Be honest, now, because I know

58
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: you were very optimistic about how he would play. Did

59
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: that even exceed your expectations of how healthy he actually was? Well,

60
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: I will say this, I assure him, glad we've got him,

61
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: and I'm glad we had him out there the other night,

62
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: I thought he and Collen Moore really when you realize

63
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: they call plays and then they go up and that

64
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: has the ability to get into another play if he

65
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: wants to. I just thought, relative to the substantiveness of

66
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: their defense, I thought we played outstanding offensively all the

67
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: way around. You did too, I mean we all did. Yes, absolutely.

68
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: What is the plan for right tackle Sunday against the Chargers?

69
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: Plan is to go with Steel and he'll do a

70
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: good job. He's a young guy that we're proud of,

71
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: and he really had a great rookie year last year

72
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: relatively speaking, and he'll do a good job out there.

73
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Will give him months of help. Jerry, what was I

74
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: know was speculator, But what was the reasoning not moving

75
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Zach to right tackle? Is that a is that a

76
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: mic thing? Is that Zach doesn't really like it? What

77
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: was the reasoning there? Not really? I think we feel like,

78
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: uh that our offense really I hate to be tried

79
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: about it, but it's just best served with him and

80
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: to right guard, and we've got a good alternative and

81
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: he will be very helpful to the fact that Steel

82
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: will uh basically be out there in the game and

83
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: he'll be helpful to him. He can really will help

84
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: out that situation. But we've uh. But really you're reluctant

85
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: because when you make a move, you talk about position

86
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: flex in the offensive line, but when you make a move,

87
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: you're dealing with two people at different positions rather than

88
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: just one new one in there at the same position.

89
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: He's been braxing, So it's it's a little more than

90
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: to it relative what you're giving up when you switch

91
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: a guy out of a position into another one. That's

92
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: two position switches. Jerry, what is the status of Randy

93
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Gregory as of today? To play Sunday? He had a

94
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: positive test, he's we're looking for negative tests. He's doing

95
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: things to give him the best chance to have the

96
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: negative tests, and we'll keep testing him out there with

97
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: the protocol and keep her fingers crossed that maybe we

98
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: could get a quick about with this COVID. Do you

99
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: know of his experiencing symptoms? Excuse me, do you know

100
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: of he's experiencing symptoms like that? To elongate the process right, Well,

101
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: I would say that it's not serious symptoms. Jerry. You

102
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: may answer the same way in terms of not being frustrated.

103
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: It's just part of the game. But I mean you guys,

104
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean did pretty much everything you could to get

105
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: the team vaccinated. It was only a few guys unvacxed

106
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: last time we heard you and Stephen, is this frustrating?

107
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Randy got vaccinated. Doesn't that major symptoms and it's still

108
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: in this situation. How are you viewing this overall with

109
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: the team in the league. I just put it in

110
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: the context of what we're dealing with in the country,

111
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with here in Texas. It's not uncommon

112
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: now for people to be completely vaccinated and have some

113
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: COVID relatively speaking, it's and our experience with our players

114
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: last year was that, I don't know that we hit

115
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: anybody get real sick with the COVID as our players

116
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: last year, and so from that standpoint, it's good to

117
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: know that we've got a good I mean, we've got

118
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: an acceptable record of what happens when they do get

119
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: to COVID. It creates imposition, obviously to be tried on

120
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: how we line it up when the players do get it,

121
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: But in general, frankly, I've on a personal basis, I've

122
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: just come to live with this and know that we're

123
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: going to have some get COVID or the protocols. We're

124
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: doing a good, really great job, I think of making adjustments.

125
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: We had anticipated it. No surprises here at all, and

126
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: we had anticipated it, and I'm excited that we're going

127
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: to be able to cope with it, in my view,

128
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about these full crowds back in these

129
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: stadiums across the league. It's just great. It's obvious that

130
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: does make a difference. I was watching the game Sunday

131
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: and to have those full stadiums everywhere over to Arkansas

132
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: and Texas this weekend, full stadium, storm the field, people everywhere.

133
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: It's good to have it. It's good to have it back.

134
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: We need this in the country. You want to say

135
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: anything to the Longhorn fans listening right now, Well, I've

136
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: got a lot of great Cowboy fans that are Longhorn

137
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: fans that that rivalry does unquestionably mean more to Arkansas

138
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: and Arkansas fans. It's just more meaningful. It was our

139
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: big game over there for centuries, in decades, and so

140
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: my point is that at the expense of all my

141
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: good friends that are Longhorns, so that Razorbacks did have

142
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: a good day Jerry Jones with Shaun and RJ every

143
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: single week right here, Um one oh five three. The

144
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: fan jar I know you were talking with, can see

145
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: that Greg Zerline not being as active in the preseason

146
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: may have factored in against Tampa. How are you feeling

147
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: about it now? And have you guys decided to bring

148
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: in another kicker just in case? Well, we have had

149
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: the kicker that we let go when we cut our

150
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: squad down. We had brought him in because zur Line

151
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: had was limited right at the end of preseason and

152
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: he had a quad that was bothered him at the time,

153
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: and so we brought him in. That's why you do that.

154
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: And so in light of the entire situation, we could

155
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: bring our kicker in for the and have him on

156
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: our practice squad and not only have him ready, but

157
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: also Zurline will be of course getting his reps out

158
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: there this week. And that's in my mind, the logical

159
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: way to handle kind of moving zur Line into a

160
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: physically solid, solid, solid for or going ahead that we've

161
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: no question about it. We're being tentative with him during

162
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: a preseason and I do, in my opinion, I think

163
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: that showed up out there the other night, Jerry, how

164
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: close were you guys leading up to the game, even

165
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of camp with the quad

166
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: injury and with the fact that he hadn't taken any kicks,

167
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: how close were you to not having him active for

168
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: Game one and having somebody else close? Not close at all,

169
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: not close. We had real good feeling about him, And

170
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: obviously it's unfortunate my understanding, as he hit the ball

171
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: high on his first two. But still we all know

172
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: that whether it be Tiger Woods or whether it be

173
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: a baseball player, they all athletes have to have adjustments

174
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: sometime and get their swing back, so to speak. And

175
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: he's in that category of golfer swings or of batter coaching, timing,

176
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: getting your getting in the groove. He's to me that

177
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: positions in that category. Jerry. We saw the Raiders stadium

178
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: of fans last night, in an electric atmosphere, in a

179
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: great game. But let's talk about your feelings heading to

180
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: this stadium on Sunday. A stadium that you are a

181
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: proponent of teams, that you are a proponent of getting

182
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: back to California. Set us up for heading to this venue.

183
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: That you are a big supporter of the stadium is magnificent.

184
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: It's in the entertainment capital of the world, the eyes.

185
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: When we think of Los Angeles, we think of entertainment.

186
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: To me, that stadium is going to replace that kind

187
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: of rickety looking Hollywood sign that we always saw that mountain.

188
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: So it's going to have NFL all over it. NFL

189
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: Network's headquarters has a beautiful location right there next to

190
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: the stadium, and it just does so much for our

191
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: game relative to visibility and image that we want to portray.

192
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: Stand Cronky has unbelievably made a commitment four and a

193
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: half billion dollars. The area around that stadium is a

194
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: part of a twenty billion dollars development, and it is

195
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: as far as assets go, as far as the venue goes,

196
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: or as far as an image of what we would

197
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: love for the NFL to be a part of, it

198
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: just knocks it right out of the park. Jerry, you've

199
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: always looked out for the other teams projects like this

200
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: NFL Network. What's best for the league. I've always wanted

201
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: to ask you, why, why haven't you been more selfish

202
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: with the cowboys of maybe we don't need a salary captain,

203
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Let's not look out for that market and what what

204
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: why so unselfish? I know it sounds like a weird question,

205
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: but hey, let's get the Cowboys. I know you do

206
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: everything you can for the Cowboys to succeed, but why

207
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: have you been such an ambassador for the rest of

208
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: the league. Well, everything lifts. Everything lifts that lifts the

209
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: league lifts the Cowboys. And that when we're not playing

210
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: in our great venue here in Arlington, then boy be

211
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: playing in a venue like that. We're just talking about

212
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. And so the the overall presentation of the game,

213
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: the interest in the game, the magic kif you will,

214
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: you know you've heard me say, actually a low percentage

215
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: seven percent of our fans only seven have ever been

216
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: inside a stadium in the NFL, but they see it

217
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: through television. And but I knew that when I was

218
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: building the stadium here that it's what Al Michael says

219
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: about it going to twenty five thirty million people. That

220
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: also is a huge factor. All of that place to

221
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: the attitude about the league and our game is a

222
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: great game. It hits at the right time of the year,

223
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, this time of the year, that's

224
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: when we want all these eyeballs in front those screens.

225
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: So it's an exciting game there, and it's exciting game

226
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: for all of the other stuff off the field that

227
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: goes on around it. These networks, when they do movies,

228
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: they spend millions and millions of dollars promoting that movie. Well,

229
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: we get to promote the nfl uere around in a

230
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: lot of ways. And so all of this helps the game, Yes,

231
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: it does. It helps move the ball down the field.

232
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: It's all a part of the perception of the game.

233
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: And I just can't tell you what it's been like

234
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: to be involved in this for thirty years. I never

235
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: dreamed it'd be so interesting every day. I thought I

236
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: might get cabin fever when I moved away from All

237
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: in Gas and the excitement or the challenge you can get,

238
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: you can get you know, you know what's cut off

239
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: in the all in Gas. I mean it is competitive stuff.

240
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: I said, well, I'll get football won't be that way.

241
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: Well that's not right. It's been just as exciting there

242
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: as well. So all of it, all of it is fabulous,

243
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: as far as the visibility promotion of it. At the

244
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: end of the day, we need to make first downs.

245
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: That's what's beautiful. About it. At the end of the day,

246
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: it's it's in the dirt. As Jason Witten says, it's

247
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: my town against your town, said me against you, And

248
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: you know it's you know that crowds out there when

249
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: you're on the field, but you really it's right down

250
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: there where the stuff's getting after. It is whatever player experiences,

251
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: and that's what we know as fans is going on. Jerry,

252
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: last one, we're talking about the business and franchises and

253
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: being a you know, a special part of the league.

254
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: When is the last time that you got a phone

255
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: call or a serious offer from someone else trying to

256
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: buy the Cowboys from you? Well, I just don't know.

257
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: That usually comes from from uh in this nature. Boy,

258
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: if if if ever you were ever thinking about it,

259
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: look at look at look at where I am. And

260
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm speaking in the third person relative to another person.

261
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: And so my point is that you're absolutely right. No

262
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: one in there that knows me well at all would

263
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: even think that I would have would care a thought

264
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: into that area of not having the Cowboys. So that's

265
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: saying everybody has a price does not apply here, Oh

266
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I've sold a lot of things in my time,

267
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: but everybody has has heard me say, this is not

268
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: this is These are my heart, this is my legs.

269
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: This is what we're about. Jerry, thank you so much

270
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: as always, wonderful stuff. Have a good trip to California.

271
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week, or we've got to.

272
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: We've got a challenge out here. Those charges look pretty

273
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: good the other day against Washington, Yes, sir, Jerry Jones. Guys,
