How are you doing? 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.600 I am doing just fine. I'm glad we're in this 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:13.720 wonderful weather. Anytime you think of the Vikings, you always 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:19.360 think of old Minneapolis. What is it? Was it metro Stadium, Metropolitans, 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:25.839 Metropolitan Stadium, Connesota outdoors. They didn't have turf, It was grass. 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.920 Could you imagine in December what that grass would have 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.440 I'm sorry, the frozen dirt would have felt like playing 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.679 against the Minnesota Vikings. That's right, is that, of course 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.000 the Metro Dome, And now they've got a sparkling, relatively 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.759 new stadium up there, which Mickey, Mickey Spagnola, you've been 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.360 in all of the stadiums that they've played Vikings games, right, 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:53.160 I don't think so? Why not? I wasn't there when 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.320 they had the benches on the same side of the field. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:04.720 Oh okay, that's old school stuff. Did you play in it? 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.240 I don't believe coach allowed them to wear gloves. Wait 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.640 did he let him wear gloves? You remember? He was 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.960 he was you know, Buck was was kind of crazy. 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:18.440 He wouldn't they They couldn't wear gloves in the game, 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.240 no matter how cold it was. And I think practice 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.960 had the same rules. So it was pretty tough playing 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.760 for the Vikings back then. You had to be a 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:33.400 man's man, mind over matter. Yeah. But were they in 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:37.600 the dome by time you got there? Yeah? Thank god, 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:42.160 Yes they were. The do I probably would have played. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.760 I probably would have been injured for like the first 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:46.400 time in my career if I would have had to 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.000 go up to playing that old Metro Dome. Frozen dirt, 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:57.560 that's frozen tundra. Forget Green Bay frozen tundra is Minnesota many. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.160 This is very much though not the Hail Mary was 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.320 at the Metropolitan Stadium. It was out. Hail Mary was 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.960 on my sixteenth birthday, which I always I never failed 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.400 to point out. So I have been a part of 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:16.600 cowboy lore even when I was my voice was still changing. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.760 All right, I'm looking up about the old met and 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.640 it was I was old enough to watch games on 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:32.280 television from there with Ray Scott calling the games. Yes, absolutely, 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:38.320 my favorite guy. Yep. They broke ground in nineteen fifty 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.400 five on Metropolitan Stadium. It opened in nineteen fifty six. 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:48.000 It closed December twentieth, nineteen eighty one. So ever since 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.640 you really did just miss Thank goodness, we didn't have 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:56.720 to play that division my rookie. I think the coldest 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:02.400 game my rookie year could have been in Indianapolis. I 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:07.000 know it was a really ugly game in Indianapolis. Curtis Dickey, 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.480 Texas say and then running back was the starting running 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.360 back for the Baltimore Coats. I'm sorry at that time, 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:21.880 and we ended up playing in New Jersey last game 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:26.000 of the season. We did not need that game. The 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.680 Giants needed that game to make the playoffs. It was 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.200 the last game of the season and we couldn't wait 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:34.840 to get the heck out of there. I think it 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.640 was the wind chill had to be around twenty something 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.479 beautiful day, snow was all on the sideline, no precipitation, 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.840 but it was about twenty degrees wind chill, and we 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.520 went into overtime. Come on, what is going on here? 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.120 We didn't even need the game and we went into overtime. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.720 That was the worst. I'm not gonna lie. I could 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.760 care Le's who won the game, but the Giants did 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.960 win in overtime, and they ended up playing San Francisco 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:10.720 I believe uh in that first round Soil, What did 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.799 you mentioned? Where did the Vikings play? You go ahead, Mickey, 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.400 Where did the Vikings play before they went into Metropolitan Stadium? 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.200 Or who was playing in there when they opened it? 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:24.240 You said fifty six fifty six. Well, I gotta go 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:28.080 back now, you probably had it. I did, and I 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.760 moved on. I moved on to Curtis Dickey. Curtis Dickey 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.840 because it's funny you mentioned Curtis Dickey. I almost mentioned 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.000 him the other day when you were talking about Herky 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.080 and being a sprinter. You know, Curtis. Curtis Dickey was 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.120 a great sprinter. And uh and in fact, I would 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.880 have wouldn't be surprised if Herky Walls and Curtis Dickey 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.440 matched up together in high school. It was like this, 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:56.159 Herkey was down here running and Curtis was way up here. Yeah. 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.880 I remember rutching David and Goliath compete for the hundred 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.160 hundred at that time, one hundred of your dad. I 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.920 remember going to the regional track made at Foutsfield in 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.719 Denton and watching Curtis Dickey run, and Herkey might have 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.800 been in that same race. I'm pretty sure he was 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:16.360 all right to answer your question, Mickey on Metropolitan Stadium, Bloomington, Minnesota. 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:21.640 The Minneapolis Miller's minor league baseball team played at the 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.360 met starting in nineteen fifty six to nineteen sixty. The 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.760 Twins moved from Washington. The Senators moved from Washington to 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.880 Minnesota to become the Twins, and then they got there 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:37.080 another franchise which became the Rangers after that. So the 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.599 Twins played there starting in nineteen sixty one, and the 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.920 Vikings also started in nineteen sixty one because they were 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.240 the second So there you go. They were the second 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.320 expansion team. The Cowboys were the first, and they came 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:57.120 the next year and they gave Minnesota the franchise early 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:01.320 enough for them to participate in that six one draft 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.200 that was in December of nineteen sixty. So they got 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:12.360 the first pick where the Cowboys got No. Who was that? Bill? Oh? 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.120 You know what? I just looked at that yesterday and 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.520 now I forgot, um, what was that? What was the 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.640 Vikings had the first pick in the sixty one draft 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.920 and he wanted to know who it was. Who was that? Yeah? 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:34.400 And the Cowboys had traded away Maybe I don't know 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.480 the Cowboys had traded away, they would have had the 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.560 Cowboys would have had the second pick, but they traded 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.120 it away the year before to get Eddie LeBaron from 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:47.040 the Redskins to play quarterback because they didn't have Meredith 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.880 just yet. So they ended up with the thirteenth pick 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.960 in that sixty one draft because they traded their first 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.600 round pick in sixty two to Cleveland to get their 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.520 first round pick in sixty one, and it ended up 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:08.400 being Bob lily Wow with the thirteenth pick. Bob thirteenth pick, 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.240 thirteenth pick. And by the way, the Vikings with the 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:18.000 number one pick, selected a half back from Tulane University, 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:23.200 Tommy Mason. He played with him. Thank you Cowboys, gil Brant. 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:28.440 Gil Brant won that draft with the thirteenth pick with 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.840 Bob Lily. But I think I looked it up, Bill, 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.360 and there was four four Hall of famers in that draft. 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.640 If I remember correctly, it was Ditka. Mike Ditka was 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.400 the fifth pick to Chicago Jimmy Johnson, not the former 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:47.520 Cowboy head coach, Jimmy Johnson, San Francisco, that's right, and 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:52.160 a sixth fith to San Francisco. Herb atterly went twelfth 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.600 to Green Bay, Bob Lily thirteenth to Dallas. So there 0:08:55.760 --> 0:09:01.000 was I just rattled off four Ditka, Jimmy Johnson, Herbatterly, 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:06.760 Bob Lily, uh and fran Tarkington went in the third round. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.280 So the Vikings waited to the third round to take 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.520 one of the greatest players of all time in their history, 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.640 might be the greatest. And I don't see another one, 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.120 and then I think, there you go. And there was 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.640 two quarterbacks in the first round? Was it Norm Sneed 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:26.040 and Billy Kilmer? All right? Going back to the first 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.760 round of the nineteen sixty one draft. Everything that you 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.600 would want to know about the nineteen sixty norm Sneed 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.600 was the number two pick. The number two pick was 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:41.520 norm Sneed to Washington. Okay, I pick acquired from the Cowboys, okay. 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:46.439 And the next quarterback taken was Billy Kilbert to San 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.560 Francisco at number eleven. Very good. So there you go, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.360 and now you know the rust you start to be 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:59.839 a jerk. Bill. No, I did not play against Billy Kilmer. Okay. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:05.200 My feelings are still hurt from that comment. There you go, 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:09.320 all right, Mickey, Yes, Jerry talked this morning. He did. 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:11.719 You want to go straight to Jerry. You want to 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.560 talk about who's on the well, there's no there's a 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.440 walk through today. You want to update, Uh, Marcus Lawrence? 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:22.440 Is it sounds like lady Gregory's back? Go ahead. Gregory 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.560 was back in the building today. He had missed the 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.640 two days of practice with an illness, but he was 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.680 back in the building, so he's good to go to. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:34.800 Marcus Lawrence is not here, but Mike McCarthy said everything 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.080 was pointing towards him being able to play on Sunday. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.240 So I think what happened, and McCarthy kind of got 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.200 into it a little bit later in his conference call. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.960 Is any think about this. If I sneeze and you're 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.040 in the room, you're running out right because we're so 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.120 worried about COVID, Right, I can't have like an allergy 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.040 or just you know, I smelled some black pepper or 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.439 something and I sneezed. It's like, oh no, so when 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.400 you have when they say illness, now you could have 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.440 a sore throat or you can have a runny nose 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.000 or whatever, and it could be an allergy. But they're going, oh, now, 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:15.200 with COVID, you stay home until we you know, you 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.640 pass a couple of tests. So I think that might 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:22.400 be what happened with those guys, just because you know, 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.400 everybody's such on alert. But it sounded like both should 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.640 be able to play. And the other thing that I 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:34.640 thought it was encouraging. On the report, I was trying 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.480 to you know, how you on zoom, you gotta kind 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.679 of when you're when you're muted, you got to get 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.000 your hand in the air, your your virtual hand to 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.200 ask a question. And I was in the midst of 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.200 trying to get Scott's attention to let me ask a question, 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.280 and then I got beat to the punch. But it 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.320 got asked about Brandon Knight how we looked this week, 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.720 and uh, Mike said, he looked, he looked good and 0:11:55.920 --> 0:12:00.160 that he liked the way he moved around, but he 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.679 wasn't willing to go the next step. So if he's 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.480 good enough to play, would he go in at right tackle? 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.000 And he said, we haven't got into that. That's down 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.760 the line. Obviously he wasn't gonna say, but at least 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.120 it got asked that, you know, the possibility if he's 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:20.120 ready to go, is he a better tackle than Terrence Steel? 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.600 And we talked about that yesterday, So we'll see where 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:27.280 that goes. But at least they like the progress he made. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.559 You know, I have to ask the question because this 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.760 is such a unique situation in regards to send the 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.880 people home when you have a game to play, you know, 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.080 in the number of days from the moment that you're 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:44.360 sent home. So you go home and you're isolated, I 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.240 guess self, isolation. I mean, what do you do? Do 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:53.000 they continue to work out? Right? Do they I'm getting 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.559 ready for a game next week even though I'm at 0:12:55.600 --> 0:13:05.160 home and they've I've been emancipated even though they've done that. 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.960 You know, once you get home, do they make you rest? Um? 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.680 What is the what is the order of the day 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.480 from the cowboy doctors? Do I go home and get 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.520 on the treadmill? You know? Do I go left? Can 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.280 I still do that? What? What? What's the protocol for 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:25.000 a player that's in that situation? You know, I'm not sure, 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:29.199 but you know. In Andy Dalton's interview yesterday, he talked 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.200 about how, you know, when he when he was starting 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.440 to feel better from the concussion protocol and he was 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.320 at home, he had started to kind of work out 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:42.520 and do some things from home. Uh, and then all 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.240 of a sudden, when he thought he was ready to 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.160 come back in the building, the COVID nineteen hit. And 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.320 then he had to go through that protocol. And it 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.360 was pretty interesting talking about how it wasn't just him, 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.200 but his wife came down tested positive, one of his 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.640 sons tested positive. So he's they got a house full 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.360 of positive tests and and and he said, and that's 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.920 when I had Yeah, you can't take that stuff for granted. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.959 And we just talk about positive tests like I just 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.440 got a fever. You know, that's it can go from 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:16.080 being very benign to something extremely dangerous. He said that 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.280 first day had hit him pretty hard, so he had 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:22.840 to back off, and then you know, he talked about 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.320 I was surprised. He talked openly about how he lost 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.680 his sense of smell and sense of taste, and that 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.760 the taste still hasn't come back, so he said, he said, 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.240 he said, I think he put it this way. I 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.720 might as well eat healthy because I can't taste it. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.000 So there's no benefit to have something spicy because I 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.920 can't taste it. Plant based food, yeah, I can see 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.880 him him the plant based burger now, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.080 this is the time his wife is gonna slide him 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:52.920 that stuff that he needs to be eating as he 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:57.320 as he gets to meet me. And Bill's age, he's 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.640 only thirty three. He turned thirty three the last weekend 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:06.720 or the last weekend October. But I'm sure those guys 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:10.080 they have they have equipment at home that they can use, 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.960 just like everybody. You know. If I'm a Dalton, I'm 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.400 pretty sure he's got a great workout room at home, 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.240 and I would be trying to get off in there, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.040 stay in shape so that when I come back I'm 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.800 ready to go, you know. But but you know, if 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.920 you're feeling like he was feeling if if if COVID 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.800 hits you like that totally different deal as opposed to 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.600 being contact in contact with someone who had it versus 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:38.080 someone versus you testing positive for it. Two big differences there. Yeah, 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:42.200 and he looks like ready to go, Bill Uh. It 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:46.320 looks like he's practiced well. Uh. And Tyrone Crawford should 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.480 be ready to go to his was contact tracing that 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.360 kept him at home. So from a from a health 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:56.520 standpoint other than Trayvon digs Um, you know they're they're 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:01.040 in pretty good shape right now. Yeah, what about the Vikings? 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.960 What about the Vikings? You saw Huku popped up on 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.920 their injury report yesterday as a COVID reserve guy. I 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.280 did not, Did you see that? Now? C J Hamm 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:17.960 the fullback? No, CJ. Yes. We talked about throughout this 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.000 week about how they used the fullback and so forth. Well, 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.120 yesterday c J. Ham popped up on their report as 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.520 a COVID UH positive, as a co COVID reserve guy, 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.280 not not saying he's tested positive. Well, you see that 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:35.720 because on the on the Wednesday injury report he did 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.800 not practice and it said not injury related. So again 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:44.240 there you know what happens when Okay, you're around somebody, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:48.000 it's like, okay, stay home, don't practice with us. Hey didn't, 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.880 didn't the center didn't, They didn't their office. The center 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:55.160 have an issue as well, Um Bradberry, their center had 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.240 an injury. Yeah, but he was limited. He was limited 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.840 in practice. It's Ezra Cleeve London did not participate yesterday 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.639 and starting offensive guard right, so I would think that 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.280 Drew Samil would start for him instead. Uh see, how 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.520 a center, that's a that's an an essential position. I 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.160 was watching the game last night. I don't know how 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:24.640 many false starts, uh that the Arizona that Arizona NA. Yeah, 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.199 I mean this this guy was. They didn't even have 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:32.080 a crowd there and the twelfth man was still prevalently 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.840 in that ball game. I mean, they had so many 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.000 false starts it was ridiculous. And I think it was 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.720 all related to the fact that they had to replacement center. 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.760 So you know, that's that's something that could you know, 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.679 if I'm if I'm the Cowboys, I'm gonna try to 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.800 take advantage that. If this guy's kind of injured and 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.200 then you have no full back. That kind of changes 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.560 the game playing a little bit. Maybe not the game plan, 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.920 but my train of thought and how I'm going to 0:17:54.960 --> 0:18:01.280 attack this offense. And uh, I'm looking at some updated 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.560 reports on the on the Vikings. The Vikings have ruled 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:09.159 Ezra Cleveland out of Sunday's game now and Brett Jones 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:14.960 will actually replace him, and U and Zimmer Mike Zimmer 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.320 says that fullback Steve j Ham, placed Thursday on the 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:22.000 COVID nineteen reserve list, could play Sunday. So that tells 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.240 you he did not test positive. He was one of 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:30.000 those contact tracing ones. And uh yeah, so they got 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.880 to figure that out by something on their depth chart. 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:37.600 They don't have a backup fullback listed, right, and he 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.400 had thirty five snaps last week and their most recent win. 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.000 So and we've talked about how much they use that, Helmut, 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.440 how much they use the fullback, much more than any 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.879 other team in the league. Really, yeah, all right, we 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.280 got some We got Jerry talking about a variety of 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.399 things that we are going to come back with in 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:59.760 just a moment here on Mick Shots.

No, 0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.800 I forgot When you just says it costs I think 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:04.120 like twenty or thirty dollars. That would be cool if 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.000 you know, you might have got on TV, but they 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:09.240 got fans in the stands. What would be cool is 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.840 you get all of the you get some of the 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:17.719 major stars, actors and actresses and other and man like 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.920 they had in the championship game in the NBA. It'd 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.520 be nice if we could see, you know, Lebron watching 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:27.359 his favorite team, the Cowboys play. You know, it's a 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.560 lot of it's a lot of major fans out there 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:34.359 that are Cowboy fans, I mean, very notable fans out there, 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:35.800 so they'd be right to see a couple of them 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:39.280 show up. That'd be cool. Yeah, all right, Mickey, you 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:43.120 took a listen to Jerry this morning as a regular 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:47.880 Friday morning spot on the fan, and some interesting comments 0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.480 came out of that this morning. Yeah. Absolutely, And you know, 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:55.879 they were talking to him about the division race, and 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.679 they kind of laid out a scenario that if the 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:02.800 Cowboys can sweep all three of the remaining NFC East 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:06.399 games and then win one more game to get the 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.600 six wins, they would have a good chance of winning 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.440 the division. And they wanted to know what Jerry had 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.320 to think about this at this point when so many 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:18.280 people are talking about, you know, not trying to win, 0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:22.320 get a get a better draft choice, and you know, 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.199 he went out. He started off by saying, you know, 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:28.600 I've seen so much in my time, and he basically 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:32.479 his point was that if you can get going, you 0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:35.600 can do a lot of damage with seven games left. 0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:39.000 And I thought it was very interesting on how he 0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:43.240 kind of explained himself and basically pointed out, this is 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:47.240 no time to be tanking, but to pass. To get 0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:51.200 there were daunting but if we get there, we can 0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:55.240 get there with a team that might be capable of 0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:58.560 doing more than we're giving credit for. A right today, 0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:02.800 I know that there's there's just no way. We hear 0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.679 about preparing for next year, we hear about doing some 0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:08.320 things like that, there's no way I can go there 0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.000 at this time. I'm interested in what we're going to 0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:13.600 do up here against Minnesota, if we do some good 0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:15.880 things on the field and take advantage of some things 0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:17.960 we're talking about right here, and I'm not going to 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:20.960 be ready to talk next year for a long time. 0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:25.879 And you know, and one of the things when he 0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:31.639 said about preparing for Minnesota, and he also basically pointed 0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.239 out that, you know, he knows that hasn't showed up 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:37.680 in wins, but he sees the team improving. And he said, 0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.280 and he said, you naturally, with the amount of young 0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:43.359 guys we're playing, you would improve. The more reps you 0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:46.200 get in practice, the more snaps you get in games, 0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:50.080 getting vander esh back on the field, and he said, 0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:53.679 he said, I don't in any way give us a 0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:58.440 handicap going into that game. He thinks that they can 0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:00.840 go up there and play a side holid team and 0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:04.399 play well enough to win. So we'll see. And you know, 0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:09.880 Jerry's always very optimistic, but yeah, he basically pointed out, 0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:13.280
