But but Jerry, Barry was 10 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: out hanging out trying to play Carl Malone all up 11 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: in the woods. So what did you shoot and what 12 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: did you catch? Fishing? So let us know, man fishing wild. 13 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: I didn't catch a theme and add a couple of bikes. Man, 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: I just I gotta get that risk. Move back back 15 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 1: to back to where it was. As far as shooting golf, man, 16 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: I actually played terrible. Man, I think I shot the 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: two days I was. I shot a ninety seven and 18 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: a ninety four. I think it was so it was 19 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: more about just hanging out. I was terrible on the course. 20 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: But it was a great time to just relax. And 21 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: now I'm back on the best pod podcast in America. 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: So let's get it crack, all right. Danny mccraig buried Church, 23 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: former Dallas Cowboys defensive backs. Um McCray, I missed Church 24 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: last week, man, but you know Church was out doing 25 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: his thing. And one of the things that that you 26 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: and I have got to settle since Churches back is 27 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: this Dak Prescott bet that you want to make. So 28 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: so lay it out and let let Church understand exactly 29 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: what we got going. Look. Look, okay, so Church, you 30 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: know we've been going back and forth about July fifteenth. 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: Is Dak gonna get a long term deal? He's gonna 32 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: play on the franchise tag I believe he's playing on 33 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: the franchise tag New. He says he's gonna get his 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: four year deal before you lock fifteen, before the deadline. 35 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: And since he's gonna lose twice, he's gonna have to 36 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: go eat. He's gonna pay for the food, but it's 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: gonna be in the place of his choosing this time. Okay, okay, 38 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: But is it like fast food choosing or is it 39 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: have to be a restaur now knew. No. Listen, it's 40 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: gonna be a real restaurant sent out. There's not no 41 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: wapool stuff. That's a real place. I didn't even order 42 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: a drink. I didn't even I didn't even order a 43 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: drink last time on Newis, So this time is gonna 44 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: be different. Can we change the rules in terms of 45 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: a restaurant since we're dealing with COVID nineteen right now, 46 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: can we change it? No? No, no, I expect us 47 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: to be here for a long time. You can postpone 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 1: this bet you have. You have the right to postpone 49 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: this one until were able to get back out and 50 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: sit out in the restaurant. Just know, you just know 51 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: you owe me, all right, So church church here, you 52 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: know this. This is my stance, and you know come 53 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: out there for Cowboys Nation. I believe a deal is 54 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: going to get done. It may be as what we 55 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: saw a few years ago with Jess Ryan, where it 56 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: gets done, you know, the day of last moments, boom, 57 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: they get it done. But I do believe that Dak 58 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: Prescott is going to get his deal with the Cowboys, 59 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: and he's gonna get us four years by July fifteen. 60 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: But he will not play the twenty twenty season of 61 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: the franchise tax So that is my belief. Barry Church. Clearly, Barry, 62 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: we see Danny doesn't have faith in Stephen Jones and 63 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones to get a deal. So I's a part 64 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: of history and will believe in the Cowboys that they'll 65 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: take care number four the way they say they have. 66 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: And though I don't want to do a restaurant, if 67 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: this is what Danny wants to do, I'll do what 68 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: Danny wants to do. But I've got faith that the 69 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys will take care of number four and all will 70 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: be well. Thank you. I'm glad the Church, Church and 71 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: Chris witness you accepting this, because you'll lose it again. 72 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get goods. I have definitely a witness. I'm 73 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: gonna I'm definitely a witness to this deal. Um. But 74 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: I gotta agree with new He on this one. Man. 75 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: I think you know we heard about it in the past. 76 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: We've all seen him in the past. What Jerry Jones 77 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: always said. Man, he's never let a player walk out 78 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: or he's never lost a deal that you know he 79 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: wanted a player to stay. And I think this is 80 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: just another one of those occasions. Yeah, it's gonna be 81 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: tooth the nail, and I think it's gonna come down 82 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: to the wire like the like the Dez Bryant situation did. 83 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: But overall, I think they're gonna get the deal done. 84 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna get his four year deal that 85 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: he wants. He's been playing hardball and I don't think 86 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna relinquish that four year deal. So I think 87 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: he'll get that and they'll start the season. But I 88 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: think it'll come down to the last second, the last moment, 89 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: and I think they'll get a deal done. So so 90 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: he knew he's gonna get this one, so so tell 91 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: me this. So, how does it affect the bet if 92 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: that takes a five year deal. Oh, it doesn't affect 93 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: the betause I still winn still be it. You know, listen, hey, listen, 94 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: Hey knew, Hey knew. He rewind the episode from last 95 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: week and we discussed this and we said that the 96 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: bet was for you that he was going to make 97 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: a four year deal, not five. But if you want 98 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: to forget that, that's fine. We can we can change 99 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: the stipulations of the bet to say if he signs 100 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: any deal, Okay, so let me make sure get this straight. 101 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: You're saying he's gonna play on a franchise tag of 102 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: one year. Okay, so one year. So whether he is 103 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: because because he's not getting the five, because he's not 104 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: getting the four that's why. Because he's not getting the 105 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: fourd The reason why is because he's not getting a 106 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: four year deal. If they signed a five then I 107 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, if he has to fold and then did 108 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: he get the deal. If he signs a five year 109 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: deal or four year deal, you still lose because you 110 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: say he's going to play on a franchise tag a 111 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: one year deal. So this is this is this is 112 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: under the assumption of what we talked about last week, 113 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: where you said he's playing he signed the deal, it's 114 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: gonna be four years. I said, nah, if it's a 115 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: four year deal and he's looking forward and that's the 116 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: only way he gonna play that he's playing on the 117 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: franchise tag. So he if he said it is the 118 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: fifth year deal, you're just gonna make it a no void. 119 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: If you tell me Dan Danny up Hire making like Keithshan, 120 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: you're just changing the gold post. You change. Listen, listen, listen, Hey, 121 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: we can go find the clip from last week. It 122 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: was said on here and you said, we'll wait for 123 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: Church to hear. This is exactly why I want him 124 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: to hear. So we can just agree that no matter 125 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: what happens, if that signs a deal, then I'll lose. 126 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: If he doesn't sign a deal, he only signs a 127 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: franchise tag, then you lose, Okay, So you have two 128 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: ways to win. So you have two ways to win. 129 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: It's real easy. Church. It's a multi year deal for 130 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott that I believe he will sign. The Jones 131 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: will get him to. And Church says it's gonna be 132 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: anna franchise one year tag. Not no Church. Church say 133 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a franch I mean multi year deal. 134 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: What you I say it's gonna be a franchise tag, 135 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: But you also say it's gonna be a four year deal. 136 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: It's gonna be four okay and ill And And for 137 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: those who didn't listen last week to the players Laus 138 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: and didn't catch it on rewind what you can. By 139 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: the way, you go to Twitter, dascout once dot com 140 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: if you missed a show and boom hit it and 141 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: it'll replay and see the whole thing. Dak Prescott wants 142 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 1: a four year deal because that's what Ryan Tannehill signed 143 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: with Tennessee, where A Rodgers signed with Green Bay, with 144 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: Carson went side Philadelphia, with Jared Goff signed with the Rams, 145 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson signed with the Seattle Seahawks. Everybody's doing 146 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: a four year deal. The Cowboys want a five year 147 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: deal because they like signed guys to five and six 148 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: year deals. Something you saw with them Marty Cooper, Ezekiel Elliott, 149 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: saw that with Zach Martin saw with Travis Fregick. This 150 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: is what they like to do. But the quarterback market 151 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: is always a different market than what we see for 152 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: other players. And the agent, Todd France who's driving this deal, 153 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: wants a four year deal. And Todd Franz is not 154 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: going to be able to look as good as he 155 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: wants to the future clients if he does not get 156 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott in line with what other quarterbacks are getting 157 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL. So that's why I believe it's going 158 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: to be a four year deal. I mean, with that argument, 159 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: I thought you should have took the banker on the 160 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: four year deal. But I mean, like I said, you 161 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: can have two ways to win Man one already, So 162 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: I take this one. You need to let you you 163 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: need a little little help with us as I give 164 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: it to you. Go ahead, Yes, I'm gonna take it 165 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: and take every advantage that I can. All Right, So 166 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: let's let's let us dive into odds. Okay, we've been 167 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: looking at odds here and in our pre show prep Um, 168 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: you guys brought it up the odds for the Cowboys. Um, 169 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: let's start with the coach of the Year. And this 170 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: comes from Sports Betting Dot AG. Mike McCarthy and Bill 171 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: Belichick are tied as favorites to win NFL Coach of 172 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: the Year at twelve to one. Church, your thoughts to me, 173 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: I think this is blasphemy. I think this is I mean, 174 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: we're already putting this. We're already putting coach McCarthy. Granted respect, 175 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: the coach want a Super Bowl. He's been in the 176 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: playoffs multiple times. I get it. He's a great coach. 177 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: But he's been off a year. He's coming back off 178 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: of being off a year after being fired from the Packers, 179 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: and we're already putting him up there with Bill Belichick. 180 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: Is maybe coach the year. We haven't even played a game. 181 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: We haven't even had a mini camp or ota practice. 182 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: We don't even see how he interacts with his players yet, 183 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: and we're already saying he's gonna be he's gonna be 184 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: the coach of the year or up there with the 185 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: coach of the year. I think it's complete blasphemy. I mean, 186 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: get this guy a chance to interact with his players, 187 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: give him a chance to incorporate with his coaching style 188 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: and his coaching system. Is before we just automatically say 189 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: the odds for him are gonna be astronomical. I mean, 190 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: it's just to me, it's ridiculous. But he is loaded 191 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: with talent on offense, on the offensive side of the ball. 192 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: But like you said, it takes more than talent to 193 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: just win a game and win a season. So I 194 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: think it's blasphemy that he's ranked that high. But we 195 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: shall see. Mccraig, Yeah, I don't understand. But uh, I mean, 196 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: just like Church said, the history that he had as 197 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: far as getting fired in Green Bay in the last 198 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: couple of years that he had there, then being off 199 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 1: a year, then coming to the Cowboys, and then automatically 200 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: being a candidate for Coach of the year is a 201 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,239 Speaker 1: little confusing. I'm I'm leaning more toward like a Belichick 202 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: or Bruce Arians for that next year. I don't think 203 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: they will be in the top four. I don't think 204 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: he should be just based off like what church. He 205 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: hadn't been around the players yet, we hadn't seen him 206 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: in a year. We have no idea what he's really 207 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: gonna be doing for the team and for this offense yet. 208 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: But I mean, it's Vegas, and usually usually they get 209 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: this thing right, so maybe they know something that we 210 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: don't know. It is Las Vegas. They make money there 211 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: for a reason. Okay, so let's go to some more 212 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: odds here. How about wins? And this is what I 213 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: found on several different sites. So when it comes to wins, 214 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: Auction Action Network says nine point five for the Cowboys. 215 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: Bet n GM has ten, CBS Sports has nine and 216 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: a half, Bleacher Report has eleven, and Todd Archer, our 217 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: friend over at ESPN dot com has the Cowboys winning 218 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: ten games. Danton Pray, how do you like that? Nine 219 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: and a half and ten wins? So basically ten wins 220 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys and TENANTSI tractors where people are predicting, well, well, 221 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: new and you know, I wouldn't eleven and five a 222 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: couple of a few episodes ago, so I'm stick and 223 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: with that one. So I think the higher the better. 224 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: I think they have a chance to go eleven and 225 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: five just based off the schedule that they have, so 226 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: I don't think they're far off with that one, but 227 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: it's I think it would be mainly due to ease 228 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: of schedule an opponent. Yeah, like Danny said, it was Yeah, 229 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: like Danny said, you know, I think a couple episodes back, 230 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: I had either a nine and seven or a ten 231 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: and six record, So Vegas is kind of on part 232 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: with with I'm going with this Cowboys team. But just 233 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: to reiterate the last little subject we talked about, if 234 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: he is at nine and seven or ten and six, 235 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: I don't think that has any doing for him being 236 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. But we'll see what happens when 237 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to that opportunity. But I don't think 238 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: a nine and seven record or maybe even a ten 239 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: and six record, I'm not sure we'll win this NFC East, 240 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: So I think they're gonna have to bump it up 241 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: to what mccrai said, eleven wins if they're gonna want 242 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: to be a playoff team, the coach of the Year 243 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. But I'm going with nine 244 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: and seven or ten and six. Now, Danny, you did 245 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: say eleven and five, eleven and five and winning the 246 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: NFC East. We'll definitely put Mike McCarthy in the conversation. 247 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: And if this team does what we think, okay, think 248 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: they can do, which is score thirty a game and 249 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: have a better defense. If you've got a better defense 250 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: and you're creating more sacks and you're getting some interceptions 251 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: and they said they're scoring thirty plus points a game, 252 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: that's gonna put them in the conversation because what do 253 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: we know. And you guys get this, because you're playing 254 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, you're gonna you're gonna be on TV 255 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: a lot and people will talk about the Cowboys from 256 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: last year's team, underachieving under Jason Garrett to fulfilling potential 257 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: that they have under Mike McCarthy. Those are the things 258 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: that help spur you towards coach of the year. People 259 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: look at what happened last year and how did you 260 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: make it better this year? But I kind of think 261 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: that's a setback for McCarthy because we all expect, just 262 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: like everyone else around the league, for the offense, if 263 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: you can put any type of coach in there with 264 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,599 Speaker 1: the weapons that they have, that it should be a 265 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: top notch offense. Like I don't think that it will 266 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: be something that they would say, this is something they 267 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: creative that Mike McCarthy did with a bunch of guys 268 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: that didn't have much talent or no names. These guys 269 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: are proving guys and Pro Bowl caliber guys who will 270 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: be playing for him offense. So I don't think it'd 271 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: be such a big deal for him to score thirty 272 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: points a game. In my mind and a lot of 273 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: other people in mind, he should be able to put 274 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: up those type of points this season. Now, Danny, I'm 275 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: glad you went there. Barry jumping on this. So when 276 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: we spoke about three weeks ago right here on the 277 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 1: players Lands on Dallas Cowboys dot com, I spoke real 278 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: highly about Mike McCarthy and then blogging the boys ended 279 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: up writing a post based off our conversation and saying that, hey, look, 280 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, Mike McCarthy wasn't real good. His last runs 281 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: in Green Bay had issues with him, so here's a 282 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: guy who lost his job and then what was used 283 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: against Mike McCarthy for some some people last year, they said, hey, 284 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: look how much better they are without him. So if 285 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: he comes in here, it ends up in some ways 286 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: reviving what he used to be able to do. I 287 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: think that may score him some points. Church, Yeah, I 288 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: think that'll squirmsol points. You made a lot of valid 289 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: points Stereo. You know the Cowboys. I think they have 290 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: five national televised games as far as like primetime games 291 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: this year, so he'll be on the spotlight a lot. 292 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: And like you said, if he's able to, you know, 293 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: get ten wins and the offense, those good defenses playing 294 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: a lot better than last year, I can give him 295 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: the points of being, you know, coach of the year 296 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: up there for the coach of the year. But we've 297 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: seen this happen time and time again with the Dallas Cowboys, 298 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: with the offseason, having these lofty expectations, Oh we got 299 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: this guy. This offense is going to be explosive, this 300 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: defense is going to be shut down. And I think 301 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: those expectations hurt Coach Garrett in the past. I mean, 302 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: with all these lofty we're gonna be playoffs, we're gonna 303 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: be Super Bowl champs, and those expectations we didn't fulfill those. 304 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: I mean coach Garretty, he never had like a terrible 305 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: losing season, but he didn't fulfill those expectations. So it 306 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: made it seemed like the coaching job he was doing 307 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: was subpar. But I think those lofty expectations might hurt 308 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy in the end. But like I always say, 309 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: we got to see what happens when the field first. 310 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: All right, So let's then dive into Super Bowl odds 311 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: for the Cowboy. Caesar's has the Cowboys fourth overall with 312 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: the fourth best odds to win the Super Bowl. They 313 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: went Kansas City, San Francisco, Baltimore than Dallas, and then 314 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: over at the lines dot Com they had the Cowboys 315 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: with the sixth best odds to win the Super Bowl. 316 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: I personally am not one that likes to jump on 317 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl odds. Have seen the Super Bowl around here 318 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: since ninety five seasons. So Church start there. Your thoughts 319 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: are super Bowl, which I find is used way too 320 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: much with the Cowboys. Wait, yea, this is used way 321 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: too much. I mean, now we're talking about we're going 322 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: into the Super Bowl already we had Super Bowl odds. 323 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: I mean this, like you said, this team, you know 324 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: they were but eight and eight last year. You know, 325 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: the expectations were up to the room, and we weren't 326 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: able to meet those expectations, and it hurt this team 327 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: at the end of the lag, at the end of 328 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: the day. So for us already say that we're super 329 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: Bowl contenders just because we had a couple of good 330 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: draft picks in our offensive looks explosive on paper, I 331 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: think that you know, that's that's out of pocket and 332 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: out of line, and I just think they got to 333 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: put in the work first to be able to get 334 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: that Super Bowl contention. But on paper they seem explore. Yeah, 335 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl picks. For me, that I mean, that's 336 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: a little difficult because just you never know what a 337 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: team will be from year to year. Like Church in Jacksonville, 338 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: you guys went to AFC Championship and then the next 339 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: year it was you guys were totally different team. So 340 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: you just never know. That's and that goes That's the 341 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: same thing with the Cowboys and even the Chiefs. You 342 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: just really have no idea. So these odds, these are 343 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: betting ODZ Vegas is gonna put this up there because 344 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: they will actually make a lot of money off this. People. 345 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: The hype train is so big that people are gonna 346 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: go bet these odds for the Cowboys, and you know, 347 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: Jerry Joseph and will live off of it. So I 348 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: think it's you know, we're a little bit too far 349 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: ahead with this one. Let's try to win one game 350 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: at a time. Let's start the division or the first 351 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: game of the season. Let's start there and see what 352 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: we got before we start getting to the Cowboys are 353 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: gonna be the super Bowl top five super Bowl team, 354 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: thank you, because that's where I stand here. Win the division, Okay, 355 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: figure out how to win the NFC East, and now 356 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: we know there's an extra playoff, you know, a team 357 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: that's gonna come out, so it's to be seven playoff teams. 358 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: So when the NFC East, try to figure out a 359 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: way to get home field advantage and give your team 360 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 1: a break to rest up a little bit. I think 361 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: that's those are the keys to get yourself where you 362 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: want to go. So try to win the East, try 363 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: to beat the number one seed, and then you move 364 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: on from there. Because it's Bill Parcels used to say 365 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: when he was coaching the Cowboys head getting a tournament in, 366 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: that's what you want to do. I'm one of those 367 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: that has long since gotten tired of people saying in 368 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys and Super Bowl, we haven't seen the Cowboys NFC 369 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: championship games since they won Super Bowl thirty so it's 370 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: been that long ago. We're about to go in the 371 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty five. So really, just just figure out 372 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: how to beat Philadelphia in New York and Washington to 373 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: take the East. Try to get yourself, you know, because 374 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna take you twelve to thirteen wins 375 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: to try and lock up the number one spot. We 376 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: know San Francisco is a team that's heavily favoring people 377 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: like them. You know, Seattle's gonna be tough, so got 378 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: to handle that. And then then you know, you roll 379 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: the dice to see wherever, wherever, wherever you can go. 380 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: I agree that one Vegas is writing a story for 381 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys right now, close to the year, Top five 382 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: Sible Bowl. What's next? What's next? Uh? Defensive player is here? 383 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: Here we go on that. So so for defensive Player 384 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: of the Year odds, uh, Aaron donald Is has got 385 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: the best dots and we all get that. Aaron, it's fantastic. Claryon, 386 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: He's won the award before Tank comes in at number twelve. 387 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: So Aaron Donald plus seven hundred, Tank is a plus 388 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: twenty five hundred. So that's that's the highest rank Cowboy 389 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: the best odds to be Defensive Player of the Year 390 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: Tank Lords. I'll say this, Um, this scheme should help 391 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: take advantage of his abilities. And they're blitzing more, that's 392 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: going to be more opportunities for for Tank. And if 393 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: Alden Smith who's been reinstated, Smith can bring some juice 394 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: along with Tyrone Crawford and maybe Randy Gregor I p's reinstated. 395 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: If these three can combine to produce what Robert Quinn 396 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: did last year, then take Lawrence's gut. Should have an 397 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: opportunity to be in the conversation because I expect him 398 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: to be back in the double digit sack ranch. That 399 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: was a lot of ils Yes, that was a lot 400 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: of ilse. You know, I was listening. I'm like, man, 401 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: you know, like number five right now. I think let's 402 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: let's say let's just say that, Um, I think d 403 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: law even without all of those things happening, I think 404 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: he has the potential and the talent to still be 405 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: one of those uh people that's in the running for 406 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: being a defensive Player of the Year. I think he 407 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: has the ability to beat to winning one on ones. 408 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: He can be double teams, they can move around from 409 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: inside to outside. And I still think he has a 410 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: lot of opportunities to make a lot of places even 411 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: if all those things don't go exactly right. So I 412 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: think he should be hired than twelve because I just 413 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: have that much faith in the law. I think you'll 414 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: see a whole different player this year. That to me, 415 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: I think twelve is a good place for him, especially 416 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: after he came through last year with those five sacks. 417 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: But la Or, like m craiz said, I mean, he 418 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: has all the talent in the world athleticism, he can do. 419 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: He can be defensive player of the Year. I think 420 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: it comes down to two things that I think it'll 421 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: come down to how they how the scheme fits, and 422 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: I think it comes down to the help from the 423 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: other side on the defensive line. I think if like 424 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: you said, I think if Aldham Smith and Tyrone Crawford 425 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: and those boys show up and create constant pressure from 426 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: that other side, I think it'll free up the Marcus Lawrence, 427 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, to get more one on ones and be 428 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: able to capitalize on those. Also, if this scheme is 429 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: what we've been hearing there saying that we're gonna blitz 430 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: a lot, it'll it'll help him get more one on 431 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: ones with those tackles and will help him advance to 432 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback and get a lot of strip sacks and 433 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: all that good stuff, which will promote him to defensive 434 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: Player of the Year. So I think he has a 435 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 1: great opportunity to do so. Asually, it depends on those 436 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: two things scheme and health he's getting on the other side. Now, 437 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: I got a question for you. I got a question 438 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: for you. So those two years when de law played 439 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: on the franchise tag, when I think he had like 440 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: fifteen sacks one year, fourteen another year, I'm not sure 441 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: I could be off. Who was the Russia on the 442 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: opposite side of him, Randy Gregory, Well it was Randy. 443 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: It was a combination at guys. But but yeah, so 444 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: it was no no one as good as Robert Quinn. 445 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: That's where yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. What 446 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: what what My point was? It was nobody on that side, 447 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: and that's when he was making wreaking the havoc and 448 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: then when he the best, the best player that he 449 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: had opposite from him, was when he ended up with 450 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: five sacks. So I just don't think it leans that 451 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: much on who's opposite of him. I think it's more 452 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: on him and it's his ability to get the job 453 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: done wherever he lies up at. Now, this is this 454 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,239 Speaker 1: is my take on a part of why he got 455 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: five sad he wasn't healthy, and you know, you take 456 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: a health player with other guys on that side. Let's 457 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: say he's healthy last year because he was, remember he 458 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: was dealing with the shoulder and he was from training 459 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: camp on. You know, Tank was dealing with some things. 460 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: So you take a healthy Tank and then you get 461 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: a productive season from the other side like he did 462 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: with Robert Quinn and with a new scheme, you take 463 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: those factors in there. I think that you can get 464 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: the player that you had two and three years ago. 465 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: That's what I've may. That's my belief of it. That's 466 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: where I stay. Yeah, yeah, well, I was was gonna 467 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: say I also think that, um, I think they improved 468 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: the interior of the defensive line too, with Poe and 469 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: McCoy getting there, so that should also be able to 470 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: free him up a little bit more for more one 471 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 1: on one because teams aren't just gonna single block those 472 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: two and sac as they can recab it. So I 473 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: just think that'll help him out a little bit too. 474 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is but this is why I see 475 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: him it hired in toilve It's a lot of things 476 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: that they that they've done outside of if there's a 477 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: lot of guys that they put out there to help 478 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: him out. So I think he should just I think 479 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: he should be hired to it. I see him. I 480 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: don't want to make a bet on this, Nouis, but 481 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm seeing him with fifteen sixteen sacks this season. Okay, 482 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: So so based on that, all right, Based on that, Danny, 483 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: you could go over there and make you a side 484 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: a little bet right now, throw yourself down one hundred 485 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: and fifty bucks. Listen, man, I work, I work. I 486 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: work for a club team, and that is oh Louis, 487 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for letting me put that out there. 488 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: I will not be placing any bets at any schools 489 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Okay, Okay, that's fair enough. Fair enough, 490 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: fair enough, fair enough, Let's go to the mvpods. So 491 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: the MVP odds are Patrick Mahomes plus four hundred. Dak 492 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: Prescott comes in at number four at twelve hundred. So 493 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: the MVP voting right now, it's it's Mahomes, former winner, 494 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, former winner Russell Russell Wilson from Seattle, then 495 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. So um, and that's all so from Sportsbetting 496 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: dot ag Dak at number four his jersey number. Mccraig, 497 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: you're good with that. Listen, listen, Okay, all right, So 498 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: we got Coach of the Year top five, we got 499 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl top five, and we got Quarterback Player of 500 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: the Year top five. Goodness, listen. Franchise tag, Dak is 501 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: gonna hit break the bank next year after he wins 502 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: MVP playing on his franchise tag. I think I think 503 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: it's great. I think he has an opportunity to get 504 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: that done, especially with the chip that he's gonna have 505 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: on the shoulder for having to play on that franchise tag. 506 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: So I think that's I think that's about right. Yeah. 507 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: I gotta agree with you McCray on this one, and 508 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: I think it's right on man. I think you gotta 509 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: put you know, Mahomes up there just because what he's 510 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: been doing these past two years is remarkable. You gotta 511 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: put Lamar Jackson up there because he won it last year. 512 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: And then dangerous Russell Wilson out there. He's always a 513 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: playmaker out there. So I think he's fits right there 514 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: at four and with these with these weapons around him. Now, 515 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: I know we said, you know it's all on paper. 516 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: It's on paper, but if they're able to take that 517 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: paper onto the field, I mean his offense could be unstoppable. 518 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: And this guy could put up ridiculous numbers. If he 519 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: shaved down an interception rates that he had last year, 520 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: I think he can put up even better numbers than 521 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: he did a year before. Plus, you're right, he's playing 522 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: with if he does end up playing on that franchise tag, 523 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: he's gonna have a chip on the shoulder to go 524 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: out there and want to prove everybody wrong that he 525 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: should have got that deal done. So I think he 526 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: has a lot of incentives to get MVP, and the 527 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: also play extremely well this season, So I'm gonna have 528 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: to say I think he's right on the nail at 529 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: number four. He might even creep into the top two 530 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: before the end of the season. The Beauty of the 531 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,479 Speaker 1: MVP award for Dak Prescott is normally goes to a quarterback. 532 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: It's a quarterback forward. It's like a high school trophe. 533 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to be really, really good at 534 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: another position to put up some record breaking numbers in 535 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: order to be the MVP. All right, We've got a 536 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: lot of topics that we still need to get to 537 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: here Ceedee Lamb Hall of Fame career.

We do it a little bit 586 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,719 Speaker 1: different than the other podcast here Dallas Cowboys dot Com, 587 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more free flowing. One thing that I 588 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: heard this week and I said, yeah, I gotta bring 589 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: it to the boys. I gotta bring it to the 590 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: boys because I bet they haven't heard it. The Cowboys 591 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: flagship station in Dallas what Worth is one oh five 592 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: three the Fame and Mike Bassiku is on the show 593 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: The Kante Masterpiece which airs ten to two, and Mike 594 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: used to be a Major League pitch for the Texas 595 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: Rangers and other teams. And Mike from the time the 596 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys have drafted wide receiver side Lamb at Oklahoma has 597 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: nothing but praised for him. In fact, he says he 598 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: believes Ceedee Lamb is going to have a Hall of 599 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: Fame career with the Dallas Cowboys. Ceedee Lamber's course gonna 600 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: wear number eighty eight. The Cowboys have two receivers in 601 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame and they've been around since nineteen 602 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: sixty Bullet Bob Hayes Michael Ear. Those are the only 603 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: two who spent the bulk of their careers as Dallas 604 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys in the Hall of Fame. When it comes to 605 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys Ring of ardor they have three Hayes, Irvin 606 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: and Drew Pearson. So to say, Ceedee Lamb is gonna 607 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: have a Hall of fame career. Boy, that's that is 608 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: that's that's long odds. It's that hard when you think 609 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: about how successful the Cowboys have been since nineteen sixty 610 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: to think that Ceedee Lamb is going to come in 611 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: here and be a Hall of Fame wide receivers. So, Danny, 612 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: I'll start with you your thoughts on that. Man, This 613 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: guy he must work in Vegas. He must be that's 614 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: a that's another line that we got, man, we got 615 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: another top guy. This is crazy like so the bar 616 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: that he would have to pass just just to even 617 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: get out of the conversation or shadow of the last 618 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: special receiver to play here des Bryant, is what seventy 619 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: five touchdowns. Let's start with the season he's going to 620 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: be playing. We're not sure yet, but he'll be playing 621 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: opposite of Maury Cooper or in the slot. So he 622 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: won't even be the number one guy coming into the 623 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: league like a des Brian was. So he would have 624 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: much more what's more production and much more things that 625 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: he would have to do to even be seen this 626 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: year to say, hey, look this guy special, he's gonna 627 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: be a Hall of Fame guy. You gotta we gotta 628 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: see a lot from him to even say that, and 629 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: and this guy said it, so, I don't know he's 630 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: in Vegas. I think it's wrong. I think it's too early. 631 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: I gotta see something on the field first, Church, Yeah, 632 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: correct on this one. I mean, like we said, we 633 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: have yet to see this man even take a snap 634 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: in OTA's mini camp anything. And everybody looks good at shorts. 635 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: We've all seen that. Yes, this guy is super explosive, 636 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: he returns kicks, he can he's dynamic, he can play 637 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: in a slide, he can play outside, he can play 638 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: anywhere on the field. But we've yet to see this 639 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: guy play in the NFL, and we're already saying he 640 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: has to potential, he could be a Hall of Fame 641 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: caliber player. I mean, that's just putting lofty expectations on 642 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: this kid already. Granted, he's a first round pick and 643 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna have expectations, but to say he's gonna be 644 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer putting that pressure on him already. 645 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: When when he comes in, I think he'll be the 646 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: third receiver behind Gallup and behind him Mark Cooper. So, 647 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: like you said, it's gonna be hard for him to 648 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: get you know, a great amount of targets in his 649 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: rookie year. Now, now I'm saying, you know, rookies, you 650 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: know they can come in this league and start out 651 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: slow and still have a Hall of Fame career later 652 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: on in their career. So I'm not saying, you know, 653 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: he has to be this brilliant guy in his rookie 654 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: year just to make it to the Hall of Fame. 655 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: But I just don't. I don't think we should put 656 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: that crazy pressure on a guy who's coming in. He 657 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: asked to where the eighty eight jersey Already, Now we're 658 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: saying he's gonna be a Hall of Famer and he's 659 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: gonna surf pass das All. I just think it's it's blasphemy. 660 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: But I wouldn't put that pressure on that young man 661 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: like that. It is this Brown a hall of Famer, 662 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: No as a right, No, no, I say, he's a 663 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: ring of honor. So so so you both not and 664 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: so you both In twenty ten, saw saw how Daz 665 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: looked like a man amongst boys when he got out 666 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: there and started playing in his first year as a 667 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: Dallas cowboy. Right who So when when you see something 668 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: like that, I think you could say, all right, this 669 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: guy might be a Hall of Famer, but that is 670 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: the bar for what ceedee Lamb would have to do 671 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: to to be mentioned as a Hall of Famer just 672 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: being in his first year in the NFL. In my eyes, 673 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: when I start thinking about Hall of Fame careers and 674 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: and just you know what it takes to get it yourself, 675 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: you know, into the conversation, for instance, I think we 676 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: can all look at Tyrn Smith and Sat Morton and say, 677 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: these are guys who be in the conversation. They recently 678 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: had the NFL All Decade Team. Both guys were on there. 679 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: You know, you've got to have some All Pro selections 680 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: and that's what Tyrn and Zach have, and you've got 681 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: to have your multiple Pro Bowls, and you gotta you know, 682 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: you gotta be on an All Decade team pretty much 683 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,719 Speaker 1: when you pretty much have to be on an All 684 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: Decade team first or second team. So what we're asking 685 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: CD Lamb to do at least just say, well, Mike 686 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: Basket is talking about when you put that kind of 687 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: expectations on him, you need ten years about standing play 688 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: at your position, and on top of that, you need health, 689 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: and that's an underrated thing when you're talking about playing 690 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: in the National Football League or basically any sport, and 691 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: you guys did it because you played at that level. 692 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: Saying healthy for ten years. That's hard, but that's kind 693 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: of what you gotta do and where you gotta go. 694 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: Where you're talking about trying to get up to that 695 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: level in order to get yourself into a Hall of 696 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: Fame conversation, it's amazing and it might not even and 697 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: it might not even looking hook at Dre Pearson, who's 698 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: had You know, he's a he's all decade player, he's 699 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: been All pros, he's all this, that the third and 700 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: he's still not in the Hall of Fame. So, I mean, 701 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: it's gotta be unbelievably special to get in there. And 702 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, to put that pressure on him this early, 703 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,959 Speaker 1: I think it's wrong. Yeah, you got to see him 704 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: play against NFL players at least before you say something 705 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: like that. We just haven't seen it. You could he's 706 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer based on what he did at college. 707 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: This is crazy, Bill Parcels and you guys weren't here 708 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: at the time, but there was a running back that 709 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys draft in the second round out of order. 710 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: Dame mean Julius Jones, and Julius came in and brought 711 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,959 Speaker 1: some juice and people were, you know, they were loving 712 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: what they were seeing, and he was an exciting player. 713 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: Bill Parcels one day chastise us in the media for 714 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: giving all this publicity to Julius Dalton. He spent the 715 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: all season. Everybody was loved. He's going to you know, 716 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,720 Speaker 1: we're signing. You know, he going to those cards shows 717 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: and everybody was loving Julie. He said, fellas, put the 718 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: annointing oil away. And that's stayed with me. And we 719 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: talked about you know, and believe me, we know Parcels 720 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: has had some Hall of Fame guys, and he said, 721 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: put the annointing oil away. And that's when I started 722 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: to really understand what Bill talks about is you gotta 723 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 1: put together a lot of great seasons to be even 724 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: in the conversation for the Hall of Fame. And Julius 725 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: at that time hadn't put together three great seasons. You know, 726 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: um hadn't led the League of Russian you know, it 727 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: hadn't been in all pro you know, the things that 728 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,919 Speaker 1: you need to be considered for those conversations. And that's 729 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: my thing, and I guess all three of us are 730 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: on there about ceedee Lambers. Hey man, we haven't seen 731 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: this guy in Ota yet, and we haven't seen what 732 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: he can do in terms of getting off man coverage. 733 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: In the NFL, there's great expectations, but to start to 734 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: put expectations that someone's going to be in the Hall 735 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: of Fame, WHOA, That's that's really unrealistic because so few 736 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: guys make the Hall of Fame and we've only seen 737 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: two guys in the history of the Dallas Cowboys for 738 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 1: the bulk of their careers, and with the Cowboys make 739 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: it into Candle Hi. He's going to have to. He's 740 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: going to have to be super productive for the next 741 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: five years because I think they got a Mark Cooper 742 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: for five so outshine him. I mean that he's gonna 743 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: have to. And if he wants to make the Hall 744 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 1: of Fame, that's a rookie. So let's touch on another 745 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: Let's touch on another topic here and and Dandy, you 746 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: brought this up in the pre show. Crep and Governor 747 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,479 Speaker 1: Greg Abbott of Texas has said that fans can start 748 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:20,280 Speaker 1: attending outdoor sporting events in Texas twenty five percent capacity 749 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: Texas Motor Speedway on June sixth, is gonna run the 750 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 1: Indy Car races. Gonna be the first Indy Car race season. 751 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: And I spoke yesterday with Eddie gossas you who's the 752 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: general manager of president of TMS. He said they will 753 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: not have fans there. The Colonial is going to have 754 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 1: the first They're gonna have the PGA tournament here, and 755 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: they say over for Worth that they're not going to 756 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 1: have fans either. But if we get toward the fall 757 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: here and the Cowboys are playing football, and if they 758 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: say outdoor events, maybe Jerry opens up the stadium roof 759 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: and claims that that's an outdoor facility. Do you think 760 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,320 Speaker 1: that's how he gets it? Because you know, in baseball, 761 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: baseball talking about starting up two, so the Rangers now 762 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: have this retractable roof. Is that how you get around it? 763 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: If you're the Rangers in the Cowboys. I mean, there's 764 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: always loopholes in everything, man, And so if they're saying 765 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: it's got to be an outdoor you know, event or 766 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 1: an outdoor space to be able to have fans there, 767 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: I believe Jerry's gonna open up that you know, that 768 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: roof and say come on in. I mean I think 769 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: it'll be, like you said, twenty five percent capacity or whatnot. 770 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: But I think they'll open up that roof and say, hey, 771 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: it's an outdoor event. You know, we got free flowing 772 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: air coming in here. Fans come on, fans coming on. 773 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: I think I think we'll pull that loophole, and I 774 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,879 Speaker 1: think we'll do it the same with the Rangers. Yeah, 775 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: I think listen, straight up, Jerry Jones and them season 776 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: tickets in those sweet sales, he had chopped that roof 777 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: off if he has to to get the fans. In 778 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: that statement, I don't think it's nothing that Jerry would 779 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: not do to get fans in the stadium and be 780 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: like leading the league and like being an innovator for 781 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: to get this thing done. He will take that thing 782 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: off just so E can show that the Cowboys are 783 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: able to get stuff done unlike any other team in 784 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: the league. Here's something that I find interesting and where 785 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: teams could be put in a very particular situation. So 786 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: if we get to September and it's still a twenty 787 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: five percent limit, who are the twenty five percent of 788 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 1: the season ticket holders who get to come in? Also 789 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: do the people that season ticket holders that aren't you 790 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: know in that twenty five percent, they get their money back. 791 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lot of things that go into this. 792 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: And what about the sweet holders are they are they 793 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: because they end the twenty five percent? Now they paid 794 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: a lot of money, so I imagine them getting there first. 795 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 1: And then also what about the celebrities that want to 796 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: come in? Are they gonna boot season ticket holders because 797 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: the celebrity wants to come watch the game? I mean 798 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 1: it's it's trinking, You're getting ticy, yeah, I mean these 799 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: are these are going to be interesting questions that have 800 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: to be asked. And now it's mad and I you know, 801 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: I put this out here to this is what we 802 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: know now in mad and sports is fluid. We always 803 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: talk about that sports is fluid. So by the time 804 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have their their home opener in week two, 805 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: maybe it's up to fifty, maybe it's up to sixty percent, 806 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 1: or maybe it's at a hundred. I mean, we obviously 807 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: we have a ways to go, but right now, at 808 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,399 Speaker 1: twenty five percent, that's an interesting thing that I would 809 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: have if I was a Cowboys season ticket holder right 810 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: now to wonder, Okay, can I get in? And how 811 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: do you make the twenty five percent, and that's going 812 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,479 Speaker 1: to be something that you know, not just the count 813 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,439 Speaker 1: every NFL team, And let's say they say the same 814 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 1: thing in college. You know, Danny, you're al Marter LSU. 815 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: You know, if they're gonna cap it at twenty five percent, 816 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: who are the twenty five percent who actually get to 817 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: get into Tiger Stadium? The student section? Of course, the 818 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: student section, they'd be the first people inside of the 819 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 1: stadium because they routing and they get everything started. LSU 820 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,839 Speaker 1: knows exactly who they need in the stadium. So when 821 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: it comes to a twenty five percent, they are we 822 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 1: also talking to about the media as well. Are they 823 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: considered that twenty five percent or are they just off 824 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: on their own and we're just talking about straight fans? 825 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,800 Speaker 1: Can only our season ticket holders can only be the 826 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: twenty five percent people going in great question. So when 827 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: NASCAR held its first race at Darlington Raceway when they 828 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: restarted the season, there were no media allowed. And for 829 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: the IndyCar races coming here to Texas Motor Speedway in 830 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: June six right now, Indy says no media. I was 831 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: told by TMS officials yesterday. But they are petitioning to 832 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: try to get two people from my station into the events, 833 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: since we're the rights holders for it and it's going 834 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: to be live on NBC five. Over at the Charles 835 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: Schwab Invitational Colonial, they're allowing two medium members in for 836 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: each outlet, and what they told the media members is 837 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,879 Speaker 1: there could be one photographer one reporter from the TV 838 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 1: outlet and they have to be the same two people 839 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: all week long. So from Tuesday to Sunday, you know, 840 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: your outlet has to be the same two people. So 841 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: let's just say the Dallas Cowboys, we're gonna send two 842 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: people to go cover the golf event. It would be 843 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: Danny and Barry, and you guys would have to you know, 844 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: you'd have to get tested beforehand and get take your 845 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: temperature every day, and you go only be the only 846 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: two dudes there. And from what I've told the golf 847 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,959 Speaker 1: event that you're not going to be able to interbe 848 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,439 Speaker 1: the golfers one on one. There's gonna be a pool feed, 849 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: and so they'll go to an interview room and then 850 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 1: you know, they'll just plug your you know, you just 851 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: plug your camera in there, and you know that that's 852 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: how you do it. So it's it's Uh, the world 853 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: has changed. But once again, what we what's happening in 854 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: June may not be what happens in September. It's it's 855 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: it's a constantly fluid situation, that is true. And I 856 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: just you know, to me, having sports at all, you know, 857 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: even if there's no fans or anything like that, it's 858 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: better than you know, watching the cornhole championships or something, 859 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: or you know, something like that. So for me, I'd 860 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: rather just have sports, even if there's no fans. I 861 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: just rather have sports there in general. So hopefully they 862 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: can figure out something. Twenty five percent or no fans 863 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: at all, hopefully they can figure out something. But I 864 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: will say with no fans that you know, golf and 865 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 1: NASCAR events like that, I think you can get away 866 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,840 Speaker 1: with it. But I think it's gonna be pretty difficult 867 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 1: for the players. Standpoint, in a football game, it's gonna 868 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: be like practice out there. It's gonna be all you're 869 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 1: gonna hear is pads clapping. So it's gonna be hard 870 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: to be motivated on the football field, at least for myself, 871 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 1: I think. So, yeah, just imagine it, right, snap counts, 872 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: all this stuff. You know, no other people understands trying 873 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: to disrupt the offensive staff counts. It'll be a whole 874 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: different game without fans for football, much different than than 875 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 1: some of those other sports that are starting up starting 876 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: up pretty soon. So I think we all want to 877 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 1: see it and hopefully we could get it done, uh safely, 878 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: because without sports, I'm definitely taught about the NBA two 879 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: K League on sports. It's rough, man, it's rough. So 880 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: let's let's get this thing done safely. Let's take our 881 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: time and get it done right. So football has the 882 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: upper hand when it's time, when it's September, and we 883 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: can get a few fans in the stands at least, 884 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: so we can have that that real football atmosphere. I mean, 885 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,919 Speaker 1: he's just thinking about it. You go ahead, go ahead, 886 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: go ahead. Me no, no, no, Church. Now. I was 887 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: just saying, just on the defensive perspective with no fans 888 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: in there. I mean, just think about the quarterbacks making 889 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: a couple of checks and you're you know, you're in 890 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 1: a secondary he makes one or two checks, and he 891 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 1: does that again and again. You're gonna, Oh, I hear 892 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: what he's saying. He's about to do this right. I mean, 893 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: I just feel like it would be advantaged from people 894 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,800 Speaker 1: the side of the ball. So hey, I mean, you 895 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: got your pros and your cans. That's gonna be strange. Man. 896 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: You could like hear people talking trash and make it. 897 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna be funny. It's gonna be funny the beautiful. 898 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is that other leagues are going 899 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: to be in action, so he can take notes and 900 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: move from there. The NHL this week announced that they're 901 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 1: going to have a twenty fourteen playoff format and that 902 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: they're going to choose two hubs, so Eastern Conference city 903 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 1: and a Western Conference city, and all the teams are 904 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: going to go there and they will go ahead and 905 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: play play out those play out those series there, and 906 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: so well, that's to me. The beauties will see exactly 907 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: how they decide to go with it. You know, do 908 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,959 Speaker 1: they allow some fans in here? Do they not allow fans? 909 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,399 Speaker 1: And then the NBA's getting closer to getting back as well. 910 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,879 Speaker 1: And I believe Baseball once they can figure out their 911 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 1: issues between the players and owners concern and salary, I 912 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 1: think they'll be back in action. So by the time 913 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: September gets here, I believe there'll be enough case studies 914 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: out there where the NFL can say we liked a 915 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: little bit of this that we saw in hockey, we 916 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: don't like that we saw in baseball. We love this 917 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: what we saw in the NBA, we like what we 918 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,839 Speaker 1: saw in golf, and they'll be able to take all 919 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: of that and put it together and find something that 920 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: works out very well for the National Football League's players 921 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 1: and it's fans. I think the NFL is in a 922 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,840 Speaker 1: really good spot. Yeah, the NFL is in the prime position, 923 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: like you said. I mean they get to they didn't 924 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 1: have to cut their season in half, or they didn't 925 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,399 Speaker 1: get to cancel their season midway through it, like you said. 926 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 1: They have to. They have all the case studies ahead 927 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: of them from the NHL, from PGA, from the NBA, 928 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: from soccer overseas, so they can see they can take 929 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 1: bits and pieces from each one of those scenarios and 930 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 1: see what they like for their football situation going forward. 931 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 1: So I'm agreeing what you knew. I think the NFL's 932 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: in prime position. Well, well, you know, I'm gonna play 933 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:40,319 Speaker 1: devil's advocate here. Like we always say, it could also 934 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 1: go to the opposite way. The NFL will be last 935 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: to start their season. So if none of this stuff 936 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: works out and all of a sudden we start seeing 937 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: a return to where we were two months ago, that 938 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,760 Speaker 1: is a bad that's a bad situation for NFL football 939 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 1: for the season. All right, let's get another break in here. 940 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: Want to get into Mike McCarthy. AND's a couple of 941 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: comments that he made on a conference call with reporters 942 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and several Dallas Cowboy players and of course 943 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 1: players across the NFL and across sports are speaking about 944 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: out about the death of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. 945 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: And let's touch on that, and let's you hear from 946 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: Tank Lawrence and Jordan Lewis right here on the players lamps. 947 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio since eighteen sixty five. 948 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: Stetson hats are American made with pride right here in Texas, 949 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 1: and Stetson is proud to be on the field with 950 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: America's team.

Craig Melvin of The Today's Show 991 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 1: interviewing Stephen Jackson, former NBA player won a championship with 992 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 1: the Spurs. He talked about George Floyd his friend, and 993 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 1: we're seeing people take to Twitter and Facebook and Instagram 994 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 1: social media athletes speaking out about it. Jordan Lewis of 995 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys went on Twitter and said would you like 996 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: to be He says, would you like to be treated 997 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,359 Speaker 1: like a black person in America? Answer that question? Don't 998 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 1: need any explanations. Then Tank Lawrence put out a tweet says, 999 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 1: done being quiet and done being angry? How can we 1000 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 1: feel safe when those meant to protect us are killing us? 1001 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,440 Speaker 1: When will minorities be free to be Americans in America? 1002 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: Those are from two Cowboys players, Carson Wentz of the 1003 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles who's spoken out about this. Zat Or of 1004 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,800 Speaker 1: the Eagles, has spoken out about this. Carson Wentz wrote, 1005 00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 1: can't fathom what being what the black community has to 1006 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 1: end on a daily basis. Speaking from North Dakota, I 1007 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 1: spent a large part of my life surrounded by people 1008 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,800 Speaker 1: of similar colors, So I'm never gonna act like I 1009 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 1: know what the black community goes through or even has 1010 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 1: gone through already. I'll never know the feelings of having 1011 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: to worry about my kids going outside of their own 1012 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 1: skin color. And then he also went on the Right 1013 00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 1: I don't understand the society we live in that doesn't 1014 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,800 Speaker 1: value all human life. It's heartbreaking and disturbing. All right, gentlemen, 1015 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,359 Speaker 1: let me get your opinions on what we have seen 1016 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: this week and athletes who are speaking out a lot 1017 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: of people across the NFL. Danny, I'll start with you. 1018 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm absolutely glad and proud of a lot of the 1019 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 1: athletes that are speaking out, some of them for the 1020 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,839 Speaker 1: first time. Some of them have been been saying things. 1021 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,240 Speaker 1: But I think that's the way to get this message 1022 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 1: out is by having people with a lot of attention, 1023 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,880 Speaker 1: a lot of followers and big platforms speak out on 1024 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 1: these things and give their real opinions and feelings about it. 1025 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:58,919 Speaker 1: I think the situation is horrible. The video is hard 1026 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 1: to watch, and you know, as always in this country, 1027 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 1: when things like like that happens, you start to see, 1028 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: like I start to see more outrage on people that 1029 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,040 Speaker 1: a variety than they had outrage on on the actual 1030 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,360 Speaker 1: death itself. So I think that the plight of the 1031 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 1: African American it needs to be heard and and we 1032 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,440 Speaker 1: just got to do something to fix this. I'm not 1033 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,920 Speaker 1: sure how we get it done, but but what we 1034 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,839 Speaker 1: got to put our hands together and figure something out. 1035 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 1: Because before COVID happened, we had the guy jogging right 1036 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,320 Speaker 1: after lockdown was over. Now we have now we have 1037 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 1: this one. This is this is absurd. Yeah, I have 1038 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 1: to agree with you a hundred percent. Man, this this 1039 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: whole situation. Um, it's pretty disturbing, it's pretty disgusting. Um. 1040 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 1: I just you know, it's hard to kind of put 1041 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,960 Speaker 1: in words and how you feel about the situation. But 1042 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,880 Speaker 1: I'm just hoping that the messages is getting through. I mean, 1043 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 1: this is the first time with these type of cases 1044 00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 1: that I've seen, Um, not only in Americans that are 1045 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 1: you know, high end in public standing, but you know 1046 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 1: also you know, Caucasians, white, white people, all races are 1047 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 1: basically speaking up against us injustice. So hopefully, um, you know, 1048 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 1: the message is getting through that this is something that 1049 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,800 Speaker 1: needs to change in America. I mean, looking at that situation, 1050 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,399 Speaker 1: like you said, the video is extremely hard to watch. 1051 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,640 Speaker 1: The man's saying or sitting there knee kneeling on his neck, 1052 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 1: impeding his his ability to breathe, and he let the 1053 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,759 Speaker 1: officer know multiple times that hey, you know, I can't breathe. 1054 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,879 Speaker 1: This is you know, this is hurting me, and he's 1055 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: still just kind of and it was just so the 1056 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 1: way he did it so casually, he got his hands 1057 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 1: in his pockets like like he was just you know, 1058 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,200 Speaker 1: he was just it was just it was a bad, 1059 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 1: bad look in a bad situation. And it's not just 1060 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: that officer as well. I mean, I believe there was 1061 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: three other officers around the situation who just just let 1062 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,880 Speaker 1: it happen. They were just sitting there just looking at it, 1063 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 1: and just like they didn't speak up at all. And 1064 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,800 Speaker 1: I think you're you're just as as wrong as the 1065 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: guy doing it if you're not willing to speak up 1066 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,320 Speaker 1: and protect those who can't protect themselves. I mean, the 1067 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 1: guy was on the ground, face down with his handcuffed, 1068 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,840 Speaker 1: his hands cuffed by on his back, and the officer 1069 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,359 Speaker 1: was just so casually, you know, kneeing on his neck. 1070 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,799 Speaker 1: So hopefully the message gets across that this is something 1071 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,360 Speaker 1: that we need as a as a country to address 1072 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: because it's just it's it's hurting the African American community 1073 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 1: and I just don't think it's right. And hopefully, you know, 1074 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 1: with all these other races and ethnicity speaking up, the 1075 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 1: message will finally get clear. But this was an extremely 1076 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,799 Speaker 1: disturbing and disgusting behavior that we've seen from these cops 1077 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. What it brings back is the reason why 1078 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, who first sat during the national anthem and 1079 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,600 Speaker 1: then once he had a conversation with former military member 1080 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 1: Nate Boyer, decided that he would take a knee. Is 1081 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick was saying, I am protesting the injustice of 1082 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 1: what we're seeing in the United States of America, where 1083 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 1: you see people who are black being killed. And it 1084 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,360 Speaker 1: brought that whole thing. You know, NFL owners made a 1085 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 1: settlement with Colin Kaepernick. I know they wanted it to 1086 00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 1: go away. But this is the very thing where people 1087 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 1: come back and say, all right, this is why Colin 1088 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 1: Kaepernick and other NFL players took a knee. They took 1089 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 1: a knee. They you know, they took a knee and 1090 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 1: protested peacefully. So many people say that's not the right 1091 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 1: for them, You should not bring this into sports. Now 1092 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 1: you have this, and there are a whole lot of 1093 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:20,320 Speaker 1: people circle back and say, you know what, Colin Kaepernick 1094 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 1: was right, The NFL players were right. How does this 1095 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 1: get fixed? I do not know, but the very sense 1096 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: of hey, guess what the whole stick to sports thing. 1097 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,479 Speaker 1: You haven't heard a whole lot of people telling Steve Kerr, 1098 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:37,239 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Carson wins zach Ertz, Tank More. You know, 1099 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 1: a lot, a whole lot of people haven't been able 1100 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 1: to say, hey, just stick to sports. This is what's 1101 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: going on in our society. It was raised by Colin Kaepernick. 1102 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:45,920 Speaker 1: Some people try to act like it wasn't a big deal. 1103 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:47,919 Speaker 1: And what do we keep seeing here? We keep seeing 1104 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 1: the very thing that Colin Kaepernick spoke about becoming true 1105 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:55,359 Speaker 1: more and more again. Yeah, and just to go back, 1106 00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 1: all right, So so we saw I think John Bones 1107 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: Jones said that he he is the UFC fighter, he 1108 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,680 Speaker 1: would never ever want to be in a position like that. 1109 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,719 Speaker 1: That is the worst position you could be in, and 1110 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 1: said that the officer had his knee on his throat 1111 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,439 Speaker 1: just enough to give him enough air so he would 1112 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 1: it would take him sixty nine minutes to suffocate, which 1113 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 1: is the worst thing he could ever imagine in life. 1114 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,920 Speaker 1: We've also been through the lady walking in a guy's 1115 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,560 Speaker 1: house and shooting him in the wrong house. We've been 1116 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 1: through serving a warrant at the wrong house and just 1117 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 1: shoot the windows. It's It's a lot of stuff going on, 1118 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 1: and it just makes you wonder like like like what's next, 1119 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 1: Like what's next? What do we have to do to 1120 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 1: get this done? And just like Newie and a lot 1121 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,600 Speaker 1: of other people, I'm confused on how to get there, 1122 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm with you as well. But the one thing that 1123 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:55,640 Speaker 1: I will say is people who have a platform and 1124 00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 1: take Lawrence talked about that, you know, using the platform 1125 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: that I have to raise my hand and you know, 1126 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 1: to say there's issues here. We've seen Malcolm Jenkinson now 1127 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,399 Speaker 1: with the Saints, who's with the Eagles. I mean, there's 1128 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: more work to be done, and what's happened in Minnesota 1129 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,440 Speaker 1: is heartbreaking. But the unfortunate thing is if you just 1130 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,399 Speaker 1: go back and you look through history, this has been 1131 00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,400 Speaker 1: the plight for African Americans for a long time. And 1132 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 1: reading a book by Henry Lewis Gates as a professor 1133 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 1: at Harvard and he talks about these very things, and 1134 00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,919 Speaker 1: so you really go back into reconstruction from post Civil 1135 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 1: War era and you see a lot of these issues 1136 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 1: and a lot of these problems where law enforcement and 1137 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,959 Speaker 1: the government and blacks have had issues. And so we'll see, 1138 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,440 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you this. I will not criticize any 1139 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,440 Speaker 1: of the athletes who decide to use their platform to 1140 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,319 Speaker 1: try and raise their hand and say things must change, 1141 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:58,400 Speaker 1: because it's clear they must change. You're you're correct. I 1142 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,600 Speaker 1: mean it must change, and it and it has to 1143 00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,359 Speaker 1: start with like you said, that people were on high 1144 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,719 Speaker 1: with higher platforms that can get the message across. Like 1145 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,120 Speaker 1: you said to Tank Lawrence, is the win, Carson wentz, 1146 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,399 Speaker 1: I've seen JJ Watt was out there. I mean, all 1147 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: these celebrities and all these people with the high public 1148 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,359 Speaker 1: um basically a higher platform than a lot of people 1149 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,960 Speaker 1: are out there. They're speaking on this injustice. So I 1150 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,120 Speaker 1: think it has to start there, and it just can't 1151 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,280 Speaker 1: be the black community that's speaking about this. It has 1152 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 1: to be all of the all the all the ethnicities 1153 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,360 Speaker 1: out there as one and as a human race. And 1154 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I'm sorry, Nui, Yeah, I forgot. 1155 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,120 Speaker 1: I got to bring this up because because this also 1156 00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 1: plays into to how people think that police will react 1157 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:42,080 Speaker 1: to African Americans. With this lady in Central Park acting 1158 00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 1: like she was getting threatened and in danger by African 1159 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 1: American and calling the police and trying to get them 1160 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 1: to come come, save her because she knows that that 1161 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 1: will be the response from the police to African American 1162 00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,520 Speaker 1: this is this is when you know us out of hand, 1163 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 1: like this is the defense or this is how I'm 1164 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 1: gonna get you back or revenge for just saying that 1165 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: that I shouldn't be having that I should have my 1166 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,160 Speaker 1: leash on my dog. This is this is seen throughout 1167 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,880 Speaker 1: the country and I'm glad it's getting a video recorded. 1168 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: And guys have these video cell phones because they saying 1169 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 1: it's not getting worse, We're just getting it on tape. 1170 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,840 Speaker 1: You're right. Cell phones allow you to now have receipts 1171 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 1: improve versus you know, one person's word against the other. 1172 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:34,680 Speaker 1: So you're right, um, but I'll tell you this and 1173 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,280 Speaker 1: you guys both understanding order. There's a lot of folks 1174 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 1: who deny these things. They don't want to believe they happen. 1175 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 1: I remember when Adam Jones said that he was called 1176 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,720 Speaker 1: the N word at Fenway Park when he was playing 1177 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,440 Speaker 1: for the Orders. Immediately there are people like Kurt Schilling, 1178 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 1: former Red TX They didn't want to believe that didn't happen. 1179 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,520 Speaker 1: That didn't happen. They've had a good close friend of 1180 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 1: mine telling you, I don't believe you, and then you know, 1181 00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,120 Speaker 1: you come to find out that it was right. It 1182 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 1: did happen to Adam Jones. So the first thing you 1183 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 1: know a lot of and this is the crazy thing 1184 00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,160 Speaker 1: about this world, man, is you almost need to have 1185 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 1: this camera phone as a defense for yourself when you 1186 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 1: go out in public now, because you just don't know 1187 00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,840 Speaker 1: where things are going to go crazy. And you have 1188 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,200 Speaker 1: to learn to really educate your kids. And you guys 1189 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 1: have young kids, and my kids are older than yours. 1190 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:23,560 Speaker 1: But they're simple things that you have to tell you. 1191 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,960 Speaker 1: Because I was told my daughter, we're at shopping one 1192 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 1: day and the cashier said, do you want your seat? 1193 00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 1: I said yes, And as I'm walking out and tell 1194 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 1: my thirteen year always take your receipt because you don't 1195 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,560 Speaker 1: ever know if somebody's going to accuse you of not 1196 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:41,760 Speaker 1: paying for something. And this is true, and I'll tell 1197 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,640 Speaker 1: you man. I was. I was at a seafood restaurant 1198 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,600 Speaker 1: over the Dallas Farmer's Market. There was a waitress who 1199 00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,760 Speaker 1: was working a whole bunch of tables, so she was 1200 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 1: my waitress, but also there was a manager. I was 1201 00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 1: sitting at a bar and the guy at the bar 1202 00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 1: was helping serve me, so at the end I finished, 1203 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:02,040 Speaker 1: he took my payment, left, and then I continued to shop, 1204 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of stories down at the Farmer's Mark, 1205 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 1: and the waitress comes up to me and she says, 1206 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 1: you didn't pay. I'm looking at her and what she says, 1207 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,400 Speaker 1: you didn't pay. And at that point in time, man, 1208 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 1: I was living because I'm sitting here in another store 1209 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 1: shopping and this woman's accusing me of dyning in dashing. 1210 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,439 Speaker 1: And I said, no, I pay with my credit card. 1211 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 1: And I said, let's go down here. So we went 1212 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,080 Speaker 1: right down here where the manager was right here in 1213 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 1: this restaurant. This lady says I didn't pay. I paid you, 1214 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, you paid. And then and then 1215 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,280 Speaker 1: he says, well, we'd had issues with people who've been 1216 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,480 Speaker 1: dyning in dash. I said, that's not me. And I 1217 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,439 Speaker 1: looked at the waitress. If you were doing your job 1218 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 1: and he wasn't sitting here trying to do it for you, 1219 01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 1: you'd known, and I said, and I looked at I said, 1220 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,600 Speaker 1: I even tipped you. You weren't even doing most of 1221 01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,240 Speaker 1: the job here, and I tipped you. But those are 1222 01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:01,040 Speaker 1: the things that you live with and you have to. 1223 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 1: You have to. You know, this is a part of 1224 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: being black, and you have to understand how you cope 1225 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,400 Speaker 1: with it. And you know, luckily for me, it was 1226 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 1: just a shopping situation where I had to deal with. 1227 01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:14,720 Speaker 1: But these things happen when I go back to my 1228 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 1: kid and I just say, that's why you had to 1229 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,320 Speaker 1: carry receipt because you just never know, and you don't 1230 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 1: expect to get the benefit of the doubt either. That's 1231 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 1: why I got to keep them seet. But these are 1232 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 1: the things in the world we live in. And so 1233 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 1: when you see a guy like Carson Wentz right when 1234 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 1: he did on Twitter, um and say, hey, look, I 1235 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,840 Speaker 1: don't understand what you you you had to go through, 1236 01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,960 Speaker 1: but you know what I want to I want to 1237 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: be there and help you and help our society get better. 1238 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,200 Speaker 1: And that that to me is uh, you know, Carson 1239 01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,320 Speaker 1: Wentz went up a whole lot in my book. I'm 1240 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,720 Speaker 1: always like Carson Wentz. I always like Carson Wentz, but uh, 1241 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,440 Speaker 1: you know, Carson in my book man went up a 1242 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 1: whole lot. Then to the barbecue up making ribs. I'm 1243 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,040 Speaker 1: making ribs because Carson, how you want your ribs? Done. 1244 01:01:55,120 --> 01:02:01,200 Speaker 1: Maybe Uh yeah, listen, I don't know. I don't know. 1245 01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:05,280 Speaker 1: We can answer this question or here, but um, so, 1246 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 1: what happens to these guys or at least the guy 1247 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,320 Speaker 1: that had had the nick on the guy's throat? Is 1248 01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 1: he Is he going to jail? Or is this another 1249 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:20,640 Speaker 1: case of he was justified in what he did. I 1250 01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,440 Speaker 1: think he should be tried. I think he should be 1251 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:27,640 Speaker 1: tried by jury for murder um either it be you 1252 01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 1: know whatever, you never attempted whatever, or not attempted, but 1253 01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,680 Speaker 1: you know, whatever the degree is, I think he should 1254 01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 1: be tried with the jury in front with his peers. 1255 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:42,440 Speaker 1: All right, Barry, here's here's what I'll say to what 1256 01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 1: you just said. Okay, you can go and put someone 1257 01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,040 Speaker 1: on trial and even convict them of murder. Okay. Remember 1258 01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: Amber Geiger, the police officer in Dallas who went into 1259 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 1: another man's apartment because she claimed was her own. He 1260 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,000 Speaker 1: was sitting there eating ice cream, both him John and 1261 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:03,000 Speaker 1: shot killed him. Okay, she was convicted of murder, But 1262 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:08,240 Speaker 1: what's the sentence? Okay, That's always the issue to me 1263 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 1: in terms of hey, you can put you can sit 1264 01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 1: up here and say hey, you did it, but you 1265 01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:13,840 Speaker 1: know here's three to five years in jail and then 1266 01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: get out. So is it going to be a sentence 1267 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:21,040 Speaker 1: where it's twenty five thirty years? Is it life? I mean, 1268 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,760 Speaker 1: what do you get? So taking somebody, putting them on 1269 01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,680 Speaker 1: away and the stand convicting them, that means that means 1270 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:32,680 Speaker 1: very little if there's no real penalty for taking someone's 1271 01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,600 Speaker 1: life in that fashion. And I gotta believe both of 1272 01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 1: John's parents and family don't believe that their son's life 1273 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 1: was justified in the sentence that that police officer got. Listen, 1274 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,400 Speaker 1: if you want to go see how much you want 1275 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,880 Speaker 1: to go see the administration this here and how much 1276 01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 1: how many issues that they have.

But he 1314 01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,800 Speaker 1: spoke about Alden Smith and his meeting with Alden Smith 1315 01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 1: and he just was exciting that Alden was reinstated by 1316 01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:57,760 Speaker 1: the NFL and he believes that he could have an 1317 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,400 Speaker 1: impact for the Cowboys and went assay, he's been off 1318 01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,000 Speaker 1: for a number of years, Um, you know, what do 1319 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,200 Speaker 1: you expect? And he said, I've never dealt with a 1320 01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,920 Speaker 1: player in that situation, but he has faith in the 1321 01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:11,360 Speaker 1: guy in the journey he's been on. So, Danny, I 1322 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,920 Speaker 1: know you've been skeptical about what Oldwas Smith can bring you. 1323 01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:18,160 Speaker 1: The fact that the head coach has a belief in 1324 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:22,440 Speaker 1: the player, does that he's any concerns for you all, No, 1325 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,600 Speaker 1: he's on the team. He has to have faith in 1326 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,760 Speaker 1: the player. Was he supposed to say nah, man, I don't. 1327 01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,919 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna make it. I think ain't 1328 01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,960 Speaker 1: gonna try it out. He has to. Now he's hoping, 1329 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,120 Speaker 1: believe it. His fingers are crossed and he's praying like, 1330 01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 1: hey man, I hope this dude, you know, saying it 1331 01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 1: doesn't make us look bad, and actually he makes makes 1332 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,880 Speaker 1: us look like we made a great decision and we 1333 01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 1: know more than everybody else. But yeah, I mean, that's 1334 01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:47,480 Speaker 1: what he's gonna say. He has to. He has to 1335 01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,160 Speaker 1: show that he has faith in his players. That's a 1336 01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:52,520 Speaker 1: player's coach. That's what you're supposed to do. Yeah, you're 1337 01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:54,120 Speaker 1: right or that way. He gotta do that. He has 1338 01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 1: to support his players. I mean, he is the coach. Now. 1339 01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 1: If you're asking me that, I don't think there's no 1340 01:06:58,040 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 1: way in hell he's gonna come out here and produce, 1341 01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,680 Speaker 1: you know, double digit sacks and do all this stuff. 1342 01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:04,560 Speaker 1: You know, how do you do? You haven't played the 1343 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,440 Speaker 1: game in four years and then last time he had 1344 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,720 Speaker 1: a highly productive season was two thousand and twelve, so 1345 01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 1: we're talking about eight years ago. I just don't see 1346 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,960 Speaker 1: it happening. But he he could prove me wrong. We'll 1347 01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:21,760 Speaker 1: see Charles Gordon. He's thirty years old and apparently, according 1348 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:26,080 Speaker 1: to what coach McCarthy is saying, he looks great and 1349 01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:31,440 Speaker 1: he's he's attacked workouts. Obviously those workouts are not football workouts, 1350 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,080 Speaker 1: but he was impressed with what he'd seen from Aldon 1351 01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,240 Speaker 1: Smith in San Francisco, and from a mental standpoint, which 1352 01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,280 Speaker 1: is really the most important thing you have when you're 1353 01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,600 Speaker 1: trying to do something like this. From a mental standpoint, 1354 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,680 Speaker 1: he does believe that Alden Smith is in the place 1355 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,160 Speaker 1: he needs to be in order to come back and 1356 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,520 Speaker 1: take advantage of this opportunity. And clearly the Cowboys are 1357 01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,640 Speaker 1: taking a chance. And David, you talked about the ifs 1358 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,120 Speaker 1: I rolled out before in terms of players the year 1359 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 1: to take lords on the defensive side. There's a lot 1360 01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 1: of ifs here. There's a lot of ifs. But I 1361 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to talk to McCarthy, I mean 1362 01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:06,840 Speaker 1: talk to Aldon Smith. McCarthy has and for a guy 1363 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 1: that when in a little bit I've been around with Mike, 1364 01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't throw out mini bouquets. He's you know, he's 1365 01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 1: kind of guarded with his words, but he has an 1366 01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,840 Speaker 1: excitement about Alden Smith and and that that, to me, 1367 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,280 Speaker 1: I think is pretty good because how many times have 1368 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,640 Speaker 1: we seen coaches through the years get a player and 1369 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 1: they're kind of like, okay, we'll see I mean, I 1370 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 1: remember Draft night when Jerry took Randy Gregory and how 1371 01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:34,200 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett's tone changed from talking about first round picked 1372 01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,320 Speaker 1: Byron Jones, he's a right kind of guy, and then 1373 01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,160 Speaker 1: have to talk about Randy Grigg. I mean, he was 1374 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:48,519 Speaker 1: a total deal there, right right, right right. So so 1375 01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,880 Speaker 1: that's why I say I at least can feel good 1376 01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,080 Speaker 1: about that aspect. All right, the coach as a player 1377 01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:58,720 Speaker 1: that he wants and thinks can can can do something here, 1378 01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:01,040 Speaker 1: and of course we can talk all day long, it's 1379 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,960 Speaker 1: got to be about action what he does. But hopefully 1380 01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,320 Speaker 1: he takes advantage because one thing we know, they'll pay 1381 01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,519 Speaker 1: you to rush the pastor in this league to despite 1382 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,240 Speaker 1: your transgressions in the past and what you've done, if 1383 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,800 Speaker 1: you can get to the quarterback, NFL owners will right 1384 01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,439 Speaker 1: you a check. And Altismith has an opportunity of thirty 1385 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,840 Speaker 1: years old on a one year deal to cash him 1386 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,320 Speaker 1: and do something for him. So hopefully he takes advantage 1387 01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 1: of him. All right, That is the players last from Friday. 1388 01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,360 Speaker 1: Danny mccraig, former Dallas Cowboys defensive Backback Church, former Dallas 1389 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys defensive back appreciate you guys joining me, I mean 1390 01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,400 Speaker 1: we Scruggs a long time Cowboys reporter, and we will 1391 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 1: do it again next Friday right here on Dallas Cowboys 1392 01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:41,599 Speaker 1: dot Com.
