And here we are inside the s 6 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage studio. And yes, it's time to stampede into 7 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: another edition of mix Shots. Bad guys, I think we're 8 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: kind of we're kind of running this into the ground. 9 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: I think you need to revisit this. I don't. Yeah, 10 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: I wasn't we need to revisit this decision. Maybe after 11 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I wasn't expecting it today, still can't 12 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: get over it refers to the Senior Bowl at the 13 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: beginning of it. But but hey, we're pasting. That's Chris 14 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: doing that. That's right, all right, that's Chris doing that. 15 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: Then he's stuck on he's stuck in a loop that 16 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: that's right, all right. So I'm about convinced the Cowboys 17 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: aren't going to make it to this super Bowl. It's 18 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: the Thursday before the Super Bowl, and I don't think 19 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna make it. But apparently we've got one out 20 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: there in LA. It's gonna say, it looks like we're 21 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: not making it either. But I'm sure big timers got 22 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: appearances to make this week. That's right. Man. You know 23 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: I can close the coatain here if you guys are 24 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: feeling kind of left out, you know, if that would 25 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: make you feel better. Hey, you know what ever is 26 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: doing right now. He's there in a hotel room in LA. 27 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: He's waiting for that knock at the door. Oh man, 28 00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: that's brutal, because that's cutting be pretty deep. Yeah, that's 29 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: got me pretty dam Let me tell you I have 30 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: filled up my notebook, okay today with the finalists, with 31 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: the accolades of the finalists for the Pro Football Hall 32 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: of Fame, And we'll find out tonight who the newest 33 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: class members are. And I'm telling you, I got Everson 34 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: Walls on the list here, and Everson could easily be 35 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: in this and then like it, right, yeah, and you 36 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: know what, I don't think so wait, wait, wait, let's 37 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: let's be clear. Let's be clear. I could be on 38 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: that list for the past fifteen years. That's right, let's 39 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: be clear about it. That's right. So I went through 40 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: the whole list and we'll get into it over the 41 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: course of the next hour. And then I went to 42 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: Everson's accolades, as Everson he not only shouldn't should be 43 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: in in this class, he should have been in fifteen 44 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: classes ago. That's it, brother, preach to him, build very much. Well, 45 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: that's gonna use you next time for my team. Walls 46 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: on paying there you go, Yeah, this would be a 47 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: good year not to go in because you're probably not 48 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: getting a knock at the door. Yeah, how are they 49 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: doing it now? Well, they're going to announce it tonight 50 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: at eight o'clock on the Honor Show. So my understanding, 51 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: that's when they're gonna find because what they did last 52 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: year they had because of COVID, they couldn't have David 53 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: Baker go everywhere and it was all a virtual thing anyway, 54 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: and so they would have former like they did it 55 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: ahead of time. Well, they did it ahead of time, 56 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: and I believe it was Roger who surprised Drew with it, 57 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: and they would have former players from the organization. Yeah, 58 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: central hotel. They were at a central hotel they did 59 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: it was just in their hometown. Whatever they did like 60 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: a week ahead of time or two weeks ahead of time. 61 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: They filmed like they brought Drew into here, and that's 62 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: when Rodgers snuck up behind them and surprised. Right, and 63 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: there was David Baker did all of them. David Baker 64 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: did it. He did it, but he snuck up behind 65 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: him while he was talking to Drew right. So right, 66 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: But but I think Roger was there too. They would 67 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: they had a former Roger that was there. I thought 68 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: you when you said Theyd Goodell, Oh no, no, no, 69 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: my god, come on back. So Baker was ign Baker 70 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: was n correct, Yes he retired, Yes he did. Yeah, 71 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: So okay, so who who who takes over? Now? I 72 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: was reading up on it last night and I never 73 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: could figure out how they're doing. I don't know if 74 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: they named somebody there. There was a reference to former 75 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: players surprising whoever the new members are. Oh and so man, 76 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: maybe they're continuing that. I don't know. But but you're 77 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: saying you're you're hearing that they I didn't hear. I 78 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: checked with PR and they didn't sound like, you know, 79 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: they were gonna know who was getting it. For instance, 80 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Ware, who obviously is a finalist tonight, he won't 81 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 1: until everybody else knows. Is that what yourself? Maybe he knows, 82 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: but we're not good well yeah, right right, And I 83 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: don't know that they're flying, and I don't know the hotel. 84 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: We'll find that out. I don't think so, yeah, I 85 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: don't think so. Right because of COVID. Hmm, everything's because 86 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: of COVID. Alright. Ali has been cracking down on it 87 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: for quite some carrying your car to rock and believe that. 88 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: There are a lot of events, yes laminated all right, 89 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: good um, all right, So we're gonna get into the 90 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame stuff on this edition of Mixed Shots, Mickey, 91 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: what else would you like to get into? Right off 92 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: the top here, Well, it's been a while since we 93 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: last convened. It was a WEE could go Monday, the 94 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: Monday after the Conference Championship games is when we last 95 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: got The world could have ended and we wouldn't have 96 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: been able to cover it. Right, it's been so long, Yeah, 97 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: it's uh um so wait, how many people picked the 98 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: Rams to be in the super Bowl, like back in August? No, 99 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean between us like you, you are the only 100 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: one I never said, yeah, let's give proms. I thought 101 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: that ever, Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, I'm just 102 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: checking because you know, it's been a while since I've 103 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: seen you guys. I just want to make sure I 104 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: don't misspoke. That's right. He Everson had the Rams versus 105 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: I don't think you picked the Bengals, did you. I 106 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: think everybody had the check. I did not. Yeah, okay, 107 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: I did not. And so by the end of the show, 108 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: we will make our picks for the Super Bowl. Although 109 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: I haven't given it much thought, and they won the games, 110 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: we may have already you know, we might already, we 111 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: might already have gone over it. But I just so 112 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: disappointed in how I just thought this year. You know, 113 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: when you look at how everything and when came about, 114 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: no one went into the playoffs with momentum the way 115 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: we always think that they should. You know, anyone that 116 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: did have momentum, they went out in the first round. 117 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: And so you know, we start talking about the inconsistencies 118 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: coming from the Cowboys. Well, hell, everybody was inconsistent going 119 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. So when you look at that, you 120 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: just think about just how close the Cowboys could have 121 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: come to at least going to the Super Bowl this year. 122 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: With all of the mishaps during the season, the inconsistencies 123 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: from every team, every every big player, you know, no 124 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: one had a streak going in except for the dog 125 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: one kicker for the Cincinnati Bengals. Otherwise everyone was inconsistent 126 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: in their play And that's why this could have been 127 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: our year. Guys, this could have been our year. And 128 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: that's why I keep getting answered asked the question, especially 129 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: on some radio things they do, about what's the difference between, 130 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys and these teams that are in 131 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And so it makes me pause because 132 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: exactly what you said about no one streaked into the playoffs, right, Uh, 133 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: the fact that they had home field advantage. It's like, well, 134 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: guess what Green Bay lost at home? Tampa Bay lost 135 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: at home, Tennessee lost at home. Right, tell me the 136 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: teams that had home field advantage that survived, can you 137 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: say Kansas City? Kansas City at home? Right? So, um, yeah, 138 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: home field advantage this year didn't mean squat uh in 139 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: in these playoffs. Now, the Rams end up winning at 140 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: home over San Francisco, but they went went to Tampa 141 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: to win, right previously, and San Francisco won their games 142 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: on the road to get to the game. So yeah, 143 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: it look to me and I think Everson pointed this 144 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: out last Monday, if I could remember that far back, 145 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, what you know, other than not scoring 146 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: enough points, you know, what was the difference between the 147 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys moving on and being sent home. Teams made plays 148 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: at times they had to make plays, and the Cowboys didn't. 149 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: And to me, that was the difference, no matter how 150 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: poorly they played on the offensive line, how poorly they 151 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: ran the football. The defense at the end, you know, 152 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: everybody you know tapped and patting the defense on the back. 153 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: But in the game that counted. In the playoffs, when 154 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: they had two opportunities to get San Francisco off the 155 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: field in the fourth quarter after they came within six points, 156 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: they allowed San Francisco to hog the ball for like 157 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: six and a half minutes in two possessions, couldn't get 158 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: them off the field. And by time they got them 159 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: off the field, what was their thirteen seconds left or whatever? 160 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: And forget the end of the game. How about the 161 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: beginning of the game, Yeah, the whole quarters. How about 162 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: how about the first drive of the game right where 163 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: it was eleven yards a play. You know everybody's well, 164 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: they didn't And I can handle that though I could, 165 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: I could I could handle giving it up at the 166 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: beginning of the game because even though just like you 167 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: spoke about spags, at the end of the game, we 168 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: still had a chance. Having said all of that, you know, 169 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: we still had a chance to win that game. We 170 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: still tried to show up and give us ourselves to 171 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: a chance to score on at least the last play 172 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: twenty five yard line. When it's all said, then we're 173 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: still looking at the twenty five yard line, right. So 174 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about with inconsistencies. That happened to everyone. 175 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: And the difference was the difference was was the matchups 176 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: that we had on the field. Their guy whipped our guy. 177 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: It had nothing to do with strategy, Okay, that was 178 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: just all about guys not being able to beat the 179 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: guy in front of them. That was at the end. 180 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: That's when you talk about those last two drive spacks. 181 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: Don't know, put yourself in position where you have to 182 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: come back in the game. How about how about being 183 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: ready to play right out of the right out of 184 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: the shoot and uh and Parthy alluded to it in 185 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: the press conference the day after the game, were he 186 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: mentioned even though he said he first said, they they 187 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: seemed I was a nervous They had angst is what 188 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: he changed it to. Anxiety? Yeah, and don't don't have angst. 189 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: I'm ready to play, you know. And I mean it 190 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: showed right from the start. I mean you go back 191 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: to the nine, nineteen ninety four NFC Championship game. Yeah, 192 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: the cowboy Troy Aikman played what people, a lot of 193 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: people consider maybe the best game he ever played in 194 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: his career. But don't fall behind twenty one enough to 195 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: start the game, you know, Yeah, absolutely, And so yeah, 196 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: answering they need their own boom box. Yes, And it 197 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: gets back to speaking of Aikman. You know Elway was 198 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: known throughout his career all these comebacks. Well I remember, uh, Troy, Uh, 199 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: you know people would talk about Troy that, well, you 200 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: know Troy didn't have those comebacks whatever. Well that's because 201 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: they were ahead the whole game, you know. And so 202 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: don't put yourself in position where you have to have 203 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: all these fourth quarter comebacks. Don't have anks. Just go 204 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: look at the Olympics, right, you know who don't start 205 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: your event with anks? You know who doesn't have anks? Though, 206 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: one of the quarterbacks in this Super Bowl Joe Burrow. 207 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't have anks when he goes out of he's 208 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: a little different. Yeah, he's a little different. So and 209 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: and I wonder how many turn on necks he has 210 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: in his in his closet. Yeah, right, And I guess 211 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: he was. That's his game uniform. And Sunday he's like 212 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: Tiger on Sunday. Yeah, he likes Tiger on Sunday. That's 213 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: that's his go kick ass outfit. You know what. I 214 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: since you brought up outfits and you brought up the Bengals. 215 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: When I saw the video of them getting off their 216 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: bus and going into the hotel for the first time, 217 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: the first person that I recognized right away. No, it 218 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: was Frank Pollock, the Cowboys former offensive lion coach that 219 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: they sent packing unceremoniously sun out for Paulo Alexander ALEXANDRETI 220 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: lasted seven games before they fired him, and Frank Pollock 221 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: ended up going to Cincinnati, then the Jets, and then 222 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: back to Cincinnati. And here he is in the in 223 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: the in the Super Bowl. Yeah, but I saw him saying, 224 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, you can't tell me that everyone saw this 225 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: coming though, when you look at how Cincinnati started. Oh no, 226 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: you look at how amazing Chase is playing right now. 227 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: This guy plays his butt off, especially the last ten 228 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: games of the season. If you were called when he 229 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: first started, it got to camp, and even in the 230 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: first game of the season, this guy's dropping balls all 231 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: over the place. They were they weren't looking at him 232 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: as a bust, but they were surely wondering if there 233 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: was really something wrong with him to where he kept 234 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: dropping all of these easy catchable balls. And now you 235 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: look at him, he's one of the most dynamic players. 236 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: Always was the most one of the more dynamic players, 237 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: but now he's he's known for his consistent and see 238 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: doing the big moments of the ball game. That's a 239 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: total tournamount right there. Well, you want another total turnaround. 240 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: What was the perception when the Rams made the trade 241 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: for Matthew Stafford. What was the perception of Stafford? Well, 242 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: he wasn't good enough. He can't carry a team. He's 243 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: only been to the playoffs three times and you know 244 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: they Detroit lost all three games. And now thirteenth year 245 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: in the league, he's got his team in the playoffs. 246 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: So what's the difference, right, you think he's got a 247 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: better team with him right now. It's not just all 248 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden he decided, oh I know how to 249 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: play this game. All this crap about quarterbacks got to 250 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: put teams on their back, and if you're making this 251 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: much money, then you should have your team in the 252 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Well, it depends on who else you're playing with. 253 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: He didn't just automatically get better. He's the same quarterback. 254 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: He's got a better team along with him. Also, that's 255 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: my Mickey was almost trying to prove a spa. He 256 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: was almost proving everyone wrong about how this was a mistake. 257 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: I'd say about a month before the season was over. 258 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: You know he's going to pick six is left and right. Well, 259 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: he tried to throw one in the championship game. His 260 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: team wouldn't let him lose. Quasky Tart dropped one. All right, Mickey, 261 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: what do you got on your legal pad there? Oh, 262 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: I've got lots, I got Pro Bowl, I got Cowboys. 263 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to cut this team and get rid of 264 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: players for salary cap reasons, and I see all these 265 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: lists out there, Yeah, you can cut this guy and 266 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: save this but they're not. They're not considering the dead 267 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: money in these contracts that you've got to account for right, Yeah, 268 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: you can count you can you know, say, okay, well 269 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: if I if I let DeMarcus Lawrence go and I 270 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: don't have to deal with his nineteen million dollars base salary, 271 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: well I can say seven seven million dollars. Well, no, 272 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: because there's nineteen million in dead money in his contract. 273 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: So what you're telling me is that the Cardinals are 274 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: not trading Kyler Murray to the Cowboys for Dak Prescott. 275 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: Yeah wait, you saw that, don't tell Yes, yes, there 276 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: there's a report out there that that Kyler wants to 277 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: come to Dallas and play for the Cowboys. Well, the 278 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: other way that would happen would be if the quarterback 279 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: is leaving here. Go check out that the cap ramifications 280 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: on that. Well, I think I think I wrote it down. 281 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: Uh oh, I didn't write the nonsense down of what 282 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: the cap hit would be, but it would be like 283 00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: seventy million dollars. Yeah, So what what everybody's gotten? What 284 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: everybody's that's got to be a record. Yeah, what everybody's 285 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,719 Speaker 1: missing here is the Cowboys. All they need to do 286 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: is restructure a couple of these contracts like they did 287 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: last year. They're gonna do that again this year with Dak. 288 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: He's got a twenty million dollar base salary and he's 289 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: got a thirty four point four million dollar cap hit. Well, 290 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: if you look at what they did last year, they 291 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: ended up with redoing his base salary down to six 292 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: point two five million, And so they take the money 293 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: they pay them in a restructure bonus, and they divided 294 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: over the length of the contracts. So say he's got 295 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: five years left and they and they gave him a 296 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: twenty million dollar restructure bonus. Well, now it's only four 297 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: million dollars a year. That's got to account four and 298 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: you're thinking, okay, for five more years, Dak's probably my quarterback, 299 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: right the contract says that. So that's what they've got 300 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: to do with his contract. That's what they got to 301 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: do with DeMarcus Lawrence's contract, maybe even Zach Martin to 302 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: save some money to get under the cap so they 303 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: can start dealing in free agency. They don't need to 304 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: start cutting people because you start cutting people then. And 305 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: the other thing you've got to consider is the CAP's 306 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: gonna go up next year a lot because the new 307 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: TV contract is coming into play next year, meaning twenty 308 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: three okay, not this year, next year, okay, okay. And 309 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: so when you take this restructured a contract and you 310 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: give them the signing bonus and then you spread it 311 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: over the life of the contract, the the increase of 312 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: the salary cap, which was hasn't happened over these last 313 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: couple of years because of COVID, is going to get 314 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: back to normal and you'll be able to absorb those, uh, 315 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: those that extra money the restructure bonuses in people's contracts. 316 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: So that's what they got to do. If you look at, 317 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: for example, Zach Martin, his base salary this year is 318 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: eleven point eight four million. Well last year they ended 319 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: up converting nine point four million of his base salary 320 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 1: into restructure bonus and they cleared seven million dollars in space. 321 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: That's what they've got to start doing. But you got 322 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: to do it with guys that you feel like in 323 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: three or four years they're still going to be here 324 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: to absorb the pro rated signing bonus that you gave 325 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 1: these guys to lower their base salaries. But that's what 326 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: they've got to do. You don't want to start cutting everybody, 327 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: because you start cutting people and it's like, okay, cut 328 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: to Marcus Lawrence, who's starting a defensive end because you 329 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: don't have any guarantee that you're going to resign Randy Gregory, right, 330 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: and you don't have any guarantee you're gonna go into 331 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: the draft and find another Micael Parsons to play defensive 332 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: end for you. And you've got enough trouble at linebacker 333 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: right now. You've got enough trouble. You need help on 334 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: the offensive line. You start cutting people, then you're creating 335 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: more needs for a team that's gonna lose a lot 336 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: of free agents. They got twenty four guys that are 337 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: in some form of free agency, and you can't keep 338 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,479 Speaker 1: them all. It's not going to happen. This will not 339 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: be the same team as it was last year. That's 340 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: why Jerry said, and I thought this was very uh, 341 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, instructive. He said, if I could have the 342 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: same team again with the same health and the same statistics, 343 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: I take them into the playoffs again next year and again. 344 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: But you're not going to have the same team. You're 345 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: not going to have close to the same team next year. 346 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: So just because you went why this year right? Exactly important? 347 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: And here was the timing was perfect in regards to 348 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: contracts and keeping his team together. And here was the 349 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: other thing that he pointed out. And I had already 350 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: written this the week before until something happened and I 351 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: had to rewrite my column. I said, well, this will 352 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: save this team was as healthy as you can expect 353 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: for a team to be at the end of the season. 354 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: And Jerry pointed out that his biggest disappointment was that 355 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: we wasted a healthy team and not advancing in the playoffs. 356 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: And if you think about it, from the guys you 357 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: projected at the start of the season, saved Jalen Smith 358 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: because they moved on from him. The guys that you 359 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: projected as starter, the only one that wasn't available in 360 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: the final in that playoff game was Michael Gallop. They 361 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: had everybody else on the field healthy, ready to play, 362 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: and you can ask for more than that. And they 363 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: wasted good health by not dancing in the playoffs. And 364 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: as we know, there's no guarantee that you're going to 365 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: be healthy again like this that they were this past 366 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: season next year. Look at what happened in twenty twenty. 367 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: Look at all the guys they lost when they got 368 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: to the end of the season at twenty that wasn't 369 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: even the same team. But this was the same team. Hey, 370 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: and they actually got better defensively, which is hilarious, right, 371 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: they were defensively during the end of the season. Yes, 372 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: without the starters, So that's the one that you mentioned 373 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:36,479 Speaker 1: was gone. What's jal was going? Yeah? Yeah, all right, 374 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: and that was their choice. That's right. He wouldn't have 375 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: been a starter anyway at that point in the season. 376 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: All right, We got much to get to and going 377 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: to take our first time out here, and I wonder 378 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: if Mickey is rushing up on his German when we 379 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: come back here on Mick shots.

All right, It is all right, Cowboys. 429 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: Next year play at Jacksonville. Announcement comes yesterday from the 430 00:25:53,080 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: NFL that the league will play five regular season international games, 431 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: Three of them will be played in London and one 432 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: will be played in Mexico, and one will be played 433 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: in Germany over the net course of the next four years. 434 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: The Munich in Munich, specifically next year, they'll play in Munich, 435 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: next year, in twenty twenty three in Frankfort, then back 436 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: in Munich and then in Frankfort. So my question to you, 437 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: Mickey Spagnola is when I mentioned Jacksonville there, Okay, they're 438 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: scheduled to play at Jacksonville. Well, that obviously is Jacksonville 439 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: as a history of playing games in London, and it 440 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: was announced yesterday that one of their games will be 441 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: at Wimbley Stadium next year. All right, what are the 442 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: chances that the Cowboys have an international game this season? 443 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to check my passport make sure it's up today. 444 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: Let's go. So which one do you think? Yeah? Well, 445 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: I might have to invite myself, right, I have to 446 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 1: invite myself. Where would Jerry like to play? Oh, I'm 447 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: sure he'd like to play that first game in Germany? Right, 448 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. As important as the Mexico market 449 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: is to the Cowboys, right, you still you have that market, 450 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: You've done that. Yeah, those school grabbed that Germany market. 451 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: So but you're you're putting two and two and getting 452 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: five together with the Wembley. Uh, since they've got to 453 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: play Jacksonville and that's who they played eight years ago. 454 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: Was twenty fourteen when the cow that Jacksonville. Yeah, and 455 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: we keep try. Joseph Randall was on the time we made. 456 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: We made We made so many friends out there in 457 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: London with that Cowboys fan club. It's like they keep 458 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: asking when you're coming back, when you're coming back. It's like, well, 459 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: we want to come back. Um, that was a great trip, 460 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: by the way, and if I remember correctly, we did 461 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: uh and we only had I think at that time, 462 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: one podcast going. We did it at a at a 463 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: sports bar. Uh, like three or four nights in a row. Wow. 464 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: And I don't think you guys. I bet with all 465 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboy club out there and the fans, I didn't 466 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: buy a beer the whole time. And it's like I 467 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: have so we gotta we have a chance to take 468 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: mix shots to Germany. This is what you're telling me. Well, 469 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna take five shows too. Well, 470 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: here's the problem me, you and Bill. That's right, you're 471 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: telling me might have a chance. We have. We're part 472 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: of the podcast family. Now we have a chance to 473 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: be in Germany with the Cowboys. That's what you're telling me. Right, 474 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: it's a possibility, possibility, all right. But here's the here's 475 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: the problem with a Germany Cowboy game is okay, jackson 476 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: Unless Jacksonville is gonna play more than one international game, 477 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: right okay, and Jacksonville is already playing one in London, 478 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: it would have to be a team the Cowboys are 479 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: playing at that get to host the game in Germany 480 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: because Jerry's not given up a home game, right And 481 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: by the way, they have nine this coming seas. Yeah, yeah, 482 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: nine home games. And the NFL has also said that 483 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: every team in the league will play an international game 484 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: over an eight year period. Right, So you brought it 485 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: up in the break, Let me present this, Okay, what 486 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys played in London and then stuck around 487 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: in Europe and played in Germany as well, get two 488 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: of their road games taken care of in one fell 489 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: swoop in Europe. I would imagine Cowboys going on the 490 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: World Tour. Huh. I would imagine that the second team 491 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: they got to play would not be happy that the 492 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys didn't have to travel overseas for the game, right right, Yeah, 493 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: I sort of like playing two games in a row. 494 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: They did that year in UH in California. You know 495 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: they're there. But they've talked about the NFL eventually expanding 496 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: to Europe or this will be the test case for 497 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: it goes over there and plays for two weeks there, 498 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: which was the way the schedule would have to work 499 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: out if you had an international team. So one game 500 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: in Mexico, uh, one game in Germany, three in London. 501 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: So that's five Munich and I think you mentioned they'll 502 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: go Munich, Frankfort, Munich, Frankfort for four years. They didn't 503 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: specifically say Mexico City, but no, no, it's good. I 504 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: did say it's at where they played the preseason game, okay, 505 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: the big stadium, Stecca Stadium. And then in Munich they're 506 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: playing at Alliance Alliance Alliance. I guess maybe it's Alliance. 507 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how all I A Z stop stop 508 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: stop anyway, oh yeah, stop, I'm sorry, just so yeah. 509 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: So that'll be that'll be interesting of the stadium. Oh 510 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: oh yeah, Douglas Barriclode just brought this in Buyer in Munich, Okay. 511 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: That's where they'll be playing. That's the home of that's 512 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: a rather famous soccer club. That looks like munching. That's 513 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: not the way I wrote Munich down in right. Hey, 514 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: you look like mudskin. Have you been to Germany? I 515 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: have not. I have been to Germany. I did a 516 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: couple of NFL Europe games in Germany two thousand and four. UM, 517 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: and did one game and I actually did get paid. Yeah. 518 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: I did one game the Cologne Centurions. UM. And in fact, 519 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: in fact, Jim tom Sula, who was the Cowboys defensive 520 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: line coach of course last year, UM, he was the 521 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator of Berlin Thunder. I did. I think I 522 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: did two Berlin Thunder games. I did one in Cologne 523 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: and one in Berlin. And it was fun. Yeah. I 524 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Yeah, so but drink a beer. I I oh, 525 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: I guess I could. Should I tell us? Tell it? 526 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: You could tell it? I thought of this just the 527 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: other day. Steve Burline did one of the games with me. 528 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: He did the game. It was a great game, went 529 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: right down to the wire somewhere. It's on YouTube, and 530 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: uh so it was on It was on Mother's Day 531 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: and Burline had a great line and this might have 532 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: got him the job with CBS. Uh. You know, he's 533 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: been broadcasting for ever since then for you know, doing 534 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: games for CBS and stuff didn't get me a job there, 535 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 1: but uh, probably because he had this great line. Whoever, 536 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: it was a quarterback for the Cologne team. He threw 537 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: a game winning touchdown pass and there was a great 538 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: shot of the mom and dad in the stands and 539 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: they had just had tears. This shows how important I mean. 540 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: This was an NFL Europe game and we look at 541 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: these oh that's a minor league whatever, but for these 542 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: guys trying to make it in the NFL. This was 543 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback. I don't even remember his name. I think 544 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: he played at Michigan State. So it was a really 545 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: good college quarter back and he threw the game winning 546 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: touchdown pass. We show a shot of the parents in 547 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: the stands and they just got tears rolling down their 548 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: cheek and uh and I said, what a Mother's day 549 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: for the mom whatever, And then Berlin said, I think 550 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: that took care of Father's Day too. I still remember 551 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: that was two thousand and four, and uh, but not 552 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: not quite the same as winning a gold medal in 553 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 1: the Olympics, right right, and they show everybody crying here 554 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: these last couple of days. But here it is. I mean, 555 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: so that was eighteen years ago, and you know at 556 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: the time they were talking about, well, you know, Germany 557 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: would love to have NFL football there, and you know, 558 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: you know, of course NFL Europe died shortly after that, 559 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: and so now finally, uh, the NFL is going to 560 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: play a regular season game there. Very good, yea, let's 561 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: go yep, ready for it? All right? Uh, you had 562 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: other things on your legal pad. Um, yeah, let's see 563 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: what we got here. Don't forget Pro Bowl. Don't forget 564 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Okay, well let's go. Okay, Ever, since what 565 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: do you got on the Pro Bowl. I'm not a fan. 566 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: I'm not either. I'm not a fan. I'm sorry. I 567 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: had it. I just couldn't, you know, as I as 568 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: I watched it, I was I had forgotten about how 569 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: the tempo goes. I mean, you know, no one even 570 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: goes to the ground. That kind of surprised me. And 571 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, I hadn't watching it so long I forgot that. 572 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: That's why I stopped watching it, you know, because it 573 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: just really didn't make any sense. Why do you have 574 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: all your pads on if you're not gonna use them, 575 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: they might as well come out, uh in in the hats. 576 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 1: You know that you play seven on seven end, there's 577 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: no there's no contact. There's no contact, there's not even 578 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: resemblance of physical contact anywhere in the game. It's a man, 579 00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: that's a tough one. They got it. That's a tough 580 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: you know what. I made it. I made it to 581 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: halftime and then I said, I'm not watching this foolishness. 582 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: You know, they because they had all these these I 583 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: didn't watch any of it. They had all these bonuses 584 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: guys could earn right, and it's like, well they're they're 585 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: so hollow. It's like, who's going to be the defensive 586 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: player of the game. Well, no one's playing defense, you know. 587 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 1: And if you score a touchdown, you get this many points, 588 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, they're just letting you score. They're 589 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: not playing they gotta go back. Look.

Guys. I remember 624 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: we played the last game at Candlestick. You know, got 625 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: all these old guys out there, Jerry Rice out there 626 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,479 Speaker 1: acting the food, just trying to relive his glory days. 627 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: And by the way, Spats, you're talking about the floor 628 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: it was on. It was on natural grass, So we 629 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: want natural grass, right, And so I just wanted to 630 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: make sure that detail was brought out. And so the 631 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: last part of the game, Eddy de Barlow is in oh. 632 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: Eddie Dubar was in the game and they give him 633 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: the ball and you know he I think he was 634 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: up for the Hall of Famous self, and so we 635 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: just kind of let him score as we you know, 636 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, fell down behind him, and you know, didn't 637 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: even make it look good. It was very comical. That's 638 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: what the Pro Bowl looks like to me. When the 639 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: running back gets the ball, it's it's just no one's 640 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: touching him, you know, you assume that the touch has 641 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: made you know, otherwise, it's just pretty It's pretty comical. 642 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: That's what it looks like to me. Yeah, it was. 643 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: It was just a notch. I'm not gonna even say 644 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: it was a notch above. It was right there with 645 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: what they showed leading up to that Pro Bowl game. 646 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: It was women's flag football. You watch any of that 647 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: lingerie league. That's when I did not watch it. What 648 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: are you gonna say about it? That was sort of 649 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: like the Pro Bowl. I tweeted it about it, and 650 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 1: I think it's a very good thing, Mickey. It is, 651 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: I do think. And now seriously I think I thought 652 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: it was a high school deal, but it wasn't. These 653 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: were teams all right, because the Cowboys actually partnered with 654 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 1: for fourth ID this past week, and DeMarcus where was 655 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: there at at and t Stadium last weekend and they 656 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a clinic or whatever, it's 657 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,959 Speaker 1: an introduction to get an interview with them. I didn't 658 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: wasn't there, but we did as a TV station. We did. 659 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: I need an interview, Okay, you can have it. But 660 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: I think I really do think this that whether it's 661 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: seven on seven flag football, whatever they want to call it, 662 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 1: at the high school level varsities as a varsity sport 663 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: is going to get approved and it's going to take off, 664 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: and it's going to be very popular amongst girls for females, yeah, 665 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: for girls, girls, girls flag football. Basically, I think it's 666 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: going to really take off. I mean that's just the 667 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: people love football, you know. And uh and there there 668 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: are really good uh female athletes who are who will 669 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: excel at it in my opinion once they start playing it. 670 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: So anyway, thanks us my opinion. They found quarterbacks, yeah, 671 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: didn't find enough receivers. Okay, all right, okay, um, I 672 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: want to talk Hall of Fame when we come back. Yes, okay, 673 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: we're going.

But it has been 718 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 1: a week and a half since we last got together. 719 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: There's so much that has happened in the meantime since then, 720 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 1: including one of the biggest retirements in the history of 721 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,320 Speaker 1: the National Football League. And uh well, I think we 722 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 1: need to talk about that to kick off this last 723 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: segment of this week's show. Don't you think so, Mickey? 724 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,720 Speaker 1: Anybody surprised that Tom Brady decided I am not talking 725 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady. One of the biggest retirements in the 726 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 1: history of the National Football League. Rich Rich dal Reymple 727 00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: is stepping aside. He is retiring after so many three 728 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: decades here. Let me tell you ten more seasons than 729 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. There you go, that's right, thirty two years seasons. 730 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: Came here in nineteen ninety from the University of Miami. 731 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: So it's the year after Jerry and Jimmy got here. 732 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: Jimmy brought his PR or his sports information director from 733 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: the University of Miami with him the next year. And 734 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: so think about this. It occurred to me when I 735 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: used one of this note in my mix shots last night. 736 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 1: From nineteen seventy one to twenty twenty one, fifty years, 737 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: fifty one seasons, the Cowboys have only had three PR directors. 738 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: Doug Todd eighteen seasons, Greg Ayallo, who had been here 739 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 1: ten years as an assistant one before he became the 740 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: head PR guy in the NFL, and then Rich Dalrympe 741 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: for thirty two years, thirty two seasons, so uh, only 742 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: three games. Ever, he looks he looks as cool as 743 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 1: Joe Burrows in shades, And uh yeah, I first met 744 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: Rich when he was the sports information director at Miami 745 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: and I had gone down there to cover a regular 746 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: season game. H had gone down there to cover the 747 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: Orange Bowl when they beat Oklahoma. I believe, uh that 748 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: one year for the National Championship game, and uh, we 749 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:37,320 Speaker 1: don't need to pause on that, yeah, And uh, I 750 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: just thought I'd bring that up. And so when he 751 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 1: got here, I was kind of familiar with him when 752 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,320 Speaker 1: he showed up in nineteen ninety so uh yeah, that 753 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: was Uh, that was a long run for him, and uh, 754 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,760 Speaker 1: my understanding was he just decided that it was time 755 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 1: and think about it not. You know, while he was 756 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: the p our director for the Dallas Cowboys, one of 757 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 1: his main jobs was Jerry Jones, and so that was 758 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 1: a twenty four hour day job, right, um, you know, 759 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,759 Speaker 1: just making sure everything was straight. So yeah, so day 760 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 1: what Rich, Rich and I actually had a lot of 761 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,359 Speaker 1: close contact when they had me up for the Hall 762 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 1: of Fame, Jerry and Rich. They kind of put the 763 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys resources behind me. Always make a joke about team Walls. Well, yeah, 764 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 1: Rich Dalrymple was part of the team walls. Uh. You know, 765 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,359 Speaker 1: we had a little game playing, we had a little 766 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: campaign going, uh and Rich was kind of at the 767 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: at the forefront of that. And so that was very surprising. 768 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 1: And you know, you got to find out just really 769 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: how personal he is, you know, because he walks around, 770 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, looking very important for that, but when you 771 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 1: when you when you look at uh, you know, when 772 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,879 Speaker 1: you actually get to talk to him, you know, he's 773 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 1: really a very very cool guy, really a very cool guy. 774 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 1: I was surprised because his demeanor kind of says otherwise. Yeah, 775 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,320 Speaker 1: he's a good guy to have a beer with. He is. 776 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 1: That's very true, and so happy retirement line. Yes, Rich 777 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 1: Dalrymple and okay, Hall of Fame, the Well the Honors 778 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 1: show is tonight, so Michael Parsons will be your They 779 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: break it down the Defensive Rookie of the Year, just 780 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, Defensive Rookie of the Year, Offensive 781 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,320 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, and by the way, just to 782 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: give you a little and I don't know how much 783 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 1: this means, NFL dot Com had a twenty nine person 784 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 1: panel that they voted on I think seven of the 785 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 1: awards and the only one that came out unanimous was 786 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons getting all twenty nine votes for NFL Rookie 787 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: Defensive Rookie of the Year.

He's listed 822 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 1: as a wide receiver. Kick he's a kick returner though, 823 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 1: and he's his first year of eligibility, and I've got 824 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 1: him going in and his first year of eligibility. That 825 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 1: would be the great Devin Hester. Right, So so how 826 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 1: many of those Okay, you got five of them going in? Right? Five?

He didn't make it. Uh, 832 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 1: what's the offensive line, BASSELLI? He he was up for it. 833 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 1: When I was up for it. I think that was 834 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 1: a guy. This is about five years ago. These guys 835 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,480 Speaker 1: are still. Holt is in his eighth year of eligibility. 836 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:20,319 Speaker 1: I think it's the third. Give me, give me another one. Bill, 837 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne is in his third year with Richard Seymour. 838 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:28,439 Speaker 1: I wasn't I wasn't no keep going. Uh, let's see 839 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 1: Butler Leroy, Butler, Barbara, Barbara Ronde, Barber, Barbara was up. 840 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 1: So what year was that? What year was that? Everson? 841 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,760 Speaker 1: I believe that was five years ago? Okay, so Barber's 842 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,040 Speaker 1: in it. So Barbara, that would have been probably his 843 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 1: first year of eligibility. And because I think he's in 844 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,800 Speaker 1: his fifth year of eligibility right now. So you just 845 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,719 Speaker 1: read off the names. So what do you think of 846 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,440 Speaker 1: the chances are DeMarcus Ware getting voted in tonight? I 847 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 1: think it's it's pretty high, and it should be high. 848 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: You know what's interesting is I think I think he 849 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 1: should go in myself, and I think, in fact, I 850 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,320 Speaker 1: got my five off of this list. I've got DeMarcus 851 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: Ware and Jared Allen going in. And I'm not predicting 852 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,799 Speaker 1: this is going to happen. If I'm just saying, after 853 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:24,160 Speaker 1: taking a cursory glance at the credentials of all of 854 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 1: these guys this morning, these are the five that I 855 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 1: came up with. DeMarcus Ware, Jared Allen, Devin Hester, Reggie Wayne, 856 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: and I've got Zach Thomas. If you look at I'm 857 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 1: not saying he's going in. He's not going to get 858 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,280 Speaker 1: voted in. Okay, I guarantee he's not going in. Okay. 859 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 1: I say that. We're talking seven Pro Bowls, five times, 860 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,320 Speaker 1: first time All Pro, my first team All Pro, seventeen 861 00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:01,319 Speaker 1: hundred twenty tackles in his career, seventeen interception, seventeen four. 862 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,719 Speaker 1: You you match him against the other guys, and those 863 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 1: some good numbers, yeah, specify linebacker. Yeah, I mean seventeen 864 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty tackles in one hundred and eighty four games. Now, 865 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 1: of course, we saw him at the very end of 866 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 1: his career here in Dallas for one season in O eight, 867 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:23,040 Speaker 1: and what he did in Miami. And I didn't go 868 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,800 Speaker 1: into this thinking at all that Zack Thomas would be 869 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 1: in my final five. And then I'm like, you know what, 870 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 1: He's on the All Decade team. I mean, he's got 871 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,359 Speaker 1: a I think a really good case, but I don't 872 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,839 Speaker 1: think you'll go in. I must admit I was influenced 873 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 1: by what I saw here in Dallas. Right. It's good 874 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,800 Speaker 1: that you mentioned that, Bill because that does influence me. 875 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 1: But if you look back at his early years, you're 876 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,280 Speaker 1: looking at a Sharan Lee type of player on this size, 877 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 1: very smart, he played with aggression even though he was 878 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: and he just really didn't get hurt as much as 879 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 1: Sean Lee did either, so he was a little bit 880 00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 1: more stout. I like that. Jared Allen, Okay, where versus Allen? 881 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,759 Speaker 1: That's the thing. Wait, Jared Allen, Jared Allen, give me 882 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,800 Speaker 1: his numbers in SAX Guys, you got one hundred and 883 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,440 Speaker 1: thirty six. He's got one hundred and thirty six sacks, 884 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,560 Speaker 1: and where's got one hundred and thirty eight and a half. 885 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 1: In fact, it's almost identical numbers. Now, Jared Allen, what 886 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,399 Speaker 1: are we looking at? He came into the year into 887 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: the league one same number of years in the league 888 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 1: is where twelve years in the league. He was with 889 00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 1: Kansas City for four years, Minnesota for six years, and 890 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 1: then finished up his last year in Chicago and Carolina. Okay, 891 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 1: where did he ever get a Super Bowl he did not. 892 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,880 Speaker 1: That's the one difference between Where and Alan is that 893 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,520 Speaker 1: Where has a Super Bowl ring and Allan doesn't. Well, 894 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,880 Speaker 1: and also Where's got nine Pro bowls Allen's got five. 895 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:57,880 Speaker 1: They both have four first team All Pro selections. All Right, 896 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: where played one hundred and seventy eight games? Uh? I 897 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,279 Speaker 1: don't have Alan's games? But anyway, one hundred thirty six 898 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 1: sex for Allan, one hundred thirty eight and a half 899 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:11,279 Speaker 1: for where six hundred fifty seven tackles for where six 900 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:16,760 Speaker 1: hundred forty three tackles for Allen. Uh, let's see thirty 901 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 1: one force fumbles for Alan, thirty five force fumbles for 902 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 1: where one hundred and seventy one tackles for hundred We're got. 903 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 1: How about this one one hundred seventy one against Yeah, right, 904 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 1: one hundred, one hundred seventy one tackles for loss for 905 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 1: where one hundred seventy one tackles for loss for Allen? 906 00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 1: No way, two hundred twenty nine two hundred twenty nine 907 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:51,000 Speaker 1: quarterback hits for where two hundred twenty eight for Allan. Uh? Oh, 908 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,960 Speaker 1: come on, man, okay, Wikipedia is wrong. I'm sorry he was. 909 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,720 Speaker 1: He was cross eyed when he was reading that stuff. 910 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 1: But but Everson, what Bill uh is very humbly not 911 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:07,040 Speaker 1: telling you is that in two thousand and five, when 912 00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:10,399 Speaker 1: the Cowboys had the eleventh pick in the draft, Uh, 913 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,279 Speaker 1: we both predicted that they were going to draft to 914 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,279 Speaker 1: Marcus Where, and they listened to us and we both 915 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 1: predicted he would be a first ballot Hall of That's right. 916 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 1: And not only that, then we predicted that with the 917 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 1: second pick, Bill, I don't know if they Oh, yes, 918 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,319 Speaker 1: they did. And with the second pick we figured they 919 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:38,359 Speaker 1: would take Marcus Spears and they did, right, And if 920 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 1: ourselves was making the call, he would have taken Spears first, 921 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 1: and you know what would have been left with not 922 00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 1: have gotten to Marcus Where. That's right. You know the 923 00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 1: funny thing about that when guys, when you when you 924 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,160 Speaker 1: think about, when you think about this, how they picked 925 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,439 Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame. And that's why I'm gonna 926 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,400 Speaker 1: beg to differ with your Bill on your on who 927 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 1: you think is gonna make it. For some reason, wide 928 00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:05,200 Speaker 1: receivers they just don't get the love because I think 929 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 1: they look at them as go ahead. No, what I 930 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 1: was gonna say, I wasn't predicting what's gonna happen. That's 931 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,000 Speaker 1: if I was picking, that's who I would have picked. 932 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 1: Uh huh, So okay, yeah, but they don't. They don't 933 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,480 Speaker 1: really pick wide receivers, you know, like like t O 934 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 1: it took him a while to get in. You know, 935 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 1: you have some really good receivers of I think Chris 936 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 1: Carter took a while to get in, if you would call. 937 00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,600 Speaker 1: I mean, these are guys who were quality receivers that 938 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 1: represent the league well, and yet they seem to be 939 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 1: uh not a priority as a as a group, as 940 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:43,080 Speaker 1: a unit. They see these four and I'm gonna throw 941 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,360 Speaker 1: Hester into the group, even though he's a kick returner. Hester, 942 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:51,480 Speaker 1: Tory Holt, Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne. Which which of those 943 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:57,720 Speaker 1: four should go in? You think I'm saying Hester gets in. 944 00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm Hester gets in because of special teams twenty return 945 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,720 Speaker 1: touchdowns in his career, not exactly a wide receiver. And 946 00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,920 Speaker 1: I think Tory Holt, you got hold and not that 947 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:14,480 Speaker 1: much competition either spacts from other return to special teams guys. 948 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, I agree with you on Hester, and I 949 00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 1: think Holt as well. I think just from a personal standpoint, 950 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you know, guys got to get in 951 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 1: the other guys. That The other satisfying thing about the 952 00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 1: year that five years ago when I was up for it, 953 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,720 Speaker 1: you had two guys that went in that It was 954 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,760 Speaker 1: very satisfying, you know, whether you make it or not, 955 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 1: if you're a fan of football. Cramer went in that year, 956 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,480 Speaker 1: and so did Robert Brazil. Those are two guys that 957 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,800 Speaker 1: have been really on that list of it's a shame 958 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,240 Speaker 1: that they're not in lists, and they got in that 959 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 1: year five years ago. So hopefully someone who's been you know, 960 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,959 Speaker 1: toiling for quite some time, we might might be able 961 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,040 Speaker 1: to finally get some satisfaction. Well, and let's also add 962 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,720 Speaker 1: that the Sea year finalist is Cliff Branch and usually 963 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 1: at this point in the seniors category they kind of 964 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,760 Speaker 1: somewhat rubber stamped that one, right, Uh. And then the 965 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:16,040 Speaker 1: contributor Art McNally, the old official, right who ended up 966 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:20,440 Speaker 1: being upstairs? Is that right? Right? Yeah? And then uh 967 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:25,720 Speaker 1: for the coach for the coach, Dick Vermill, and they 968 00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,680 Speaker 1: they've got a vote on I mean, they sort of 969 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,640 Speaker 1: got a vote on all those guys. I talked to 970 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,400 Speaker 1: Dick Vermill one time. It was pretty formal. We were 971 00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 1: both at you and thus did he cry ya, that's 972 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 1: a good one. We almost we almost shook hands and 973 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:54,160 Speaker 1: we kind of just pumped fist. Yeah yeah, all right. Uh. 974 00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,520 Speaker 1: And who's gonna win the Super Bowl? We're out of time. 975 00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Who's gonna win? Rams? Man? Rams can't lose at home? 976 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Cincing That is good, But you know, do they have 977 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 1: do they have that much momentum? I think Aaron Donaldson 978 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,160 Speaker 1: is going to go off in this game. He will 979 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 1: not allow them to lose. I I I'm picking the Rams, 980 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 1: but I got this and Vonn Miller and Vonn Miller, right, 981 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 1: von Miller, I'm picking the Rams, but I got this 982 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 1: tugging notions like just gonna do something, that Burrow's gonna 983 01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:34,560 Speaker 1: do something, and then they're gonna survive. You know, there's 984 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 1: no way they should be in this game. He got 985 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 1: sacked periods, but not only sacked nine times, he got 986 01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 1: hit thirteen times trying to throw the ball and they 987 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:51,360 Speaker 1: still won. Are they firing everybody in Tennessee? Because when 988 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys lose one, they're firing everybody, right, including the 989 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 1: owner of the general. No, No, the coach got an 990 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 1: extension just yesterday. I think Tennessee's I think they've been 991 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 1: to conference championship games. Yeah, ok yeah, and I guess 992 01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: I'll pick the Rams too. Matthew Stafford from Highlands Mixing 993 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,760 Speaker 1: and Pevin You're going to get Mixing, Okay, all right, 994 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 1: you can convince me otherwise, Okay, I'll go, right, yeah, okay, 995 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:29,120 Speaker 1: I'll go.
