I 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: thought they just had a week off when they came 12 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: back for a day. They come back for one day 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: of work and then they get another day off. Why 14 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,639 Speaker 1: can't we get this game? We need a union, that's right, 15 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: that's right. That's a pretty good deal for yeah.

I made a point today. I'm taping the 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy Show this evening.

I like wearing a 22 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: purple tie with my gray jacket that I'm wearing this week, 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: and I had to make a conscious decision that Nope, 24 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: go with the blue. It didn't even cross my mind. 25 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: I just go in my closet and go, Okay, what 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: do I want to do today? All right?

A big day? 28 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: Is this a big day in let's say, Dallas Fort 29 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: Worth or Texas Sports? Texas Sports? Is this a big day? 30 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: October twenty? It's not in history? But today the answers yes, yes. 31 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: Chris Beams says, yes, okay, why is it a big day? 32 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: Help me? What's happening in Houston? It's the World Series? 33 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: MAC Game one of the World Series. What's happening? And 34 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: what's happening at the American Airlines Center tonight? Basketball? That's 35 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: rights home opener against the Houston Rockets. Oh, I see 36 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: where you were going. You were talking history. So later 37 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: on this episode of mix Shots, yeah, I want to 38 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: ask the question and we can discuss why is the 39 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: NFL so much more popular than these other sports? To 40 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: the point that Mickey, you just proved my point right there. 41 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: You didn't even realize where It didn't come to your 42 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: mind when I said, this is a big day that 43 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: the World on World Series is the great state of Texas. 44 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: I know you knew, but it didn't if it, okay, 45 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: if the super Bowl was being played in Texas today, 46 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: you would know that. I mean, it would be the 47 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: first that you would say, of course, a ticket for it. 48 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: If the Cowboys home opener is today, all right, yes, yeah, 49 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: when you play eighty two games. We'll get into this. 50 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: We'll get into this a little bit later, but this 51 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: will be a testament to the popularity of the NFL. 52 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: Now I knew. I knew the Stars had their homeowner 53 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: on Friday, though you hadn't asked me that. All right, 54 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Was it a big Monday night football game last night? 55 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: Oh my lord? What did we talk about yesterday? The 56 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: value of quarterbacks? Yes, right, yes? And how important there? 57 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: And that's why. But you weren't watching the Mannings and Brady. No, 58 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: the value of quarterbacks. Oh that was brutal. You know what, 59 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: here's my test on any how popular a TV show 60 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: is or a sporting event. I was off yesterday, so 61 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: I wasn't at the TV station. So I was home watching. 62 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: I would have loved to sit in my living room 63 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: and go ahead and watch the Money Night game, even 64 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: flip over to Tom Brady on with the Mannings on 65 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: the Manning Cast, whatever. But my wife had control of 66 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: the remote, so we're watching the Voice instead. So but 67 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: if okay, good, point is my point is we only 68 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: have one TV in the house. No, no, I've got 69 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: I could have. It's a rare weeknight where I'm home. 70 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: So I felt a obligation of sorts to go ahead 71 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: and stay in the living room and watch TV with 72 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: the wife. Okay, I'm not going to retreat to the 73 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: patio or I've got a TV or the bedroom or 74 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: the men you know upstairs. Whatever. Okay, so I gave in, Okay, 75 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: we're watching the Voice. So I was just on my 76 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: iPad watching the game when she's watching the Voice. But point, 77 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: my point is. My point is that if if it 78 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: was the New Orleans Saints with Drew Brees at quarterback 79 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: versus the Seattle Seahawks with Russell Wilson at quarterback, she 80 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: would have watched that over the Voice. But if it's 81 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: Geno Smith for Seattle against Jamis Winston for New Orleans. 82 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: She's got no interest whatsoever. Do you not think that 83 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: at some point in that game, Sean Payton is thinking 84 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: to himself, for fifteen years, I had Drew Breese and 85 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: now I got this. And Pete Carroll's sitting on the 86 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: sideline looking at his quarterback next to him, Russell Wilson 87 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: on the sideline, going oh my god, how did I 88 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: get into this section? And I did not hear Pete 89 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: Carroll after the game, but I heard what he apparently 90 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: said after the game that he probably he would wouldn't 91 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: have been in Seattle as long as he's been in 92 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: Seattle if he did not have that quarterback who is 93 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: on the sidelines leading the way the last however long 94 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about how important the quarterbacks were 95 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: yesterday yep. We talked about the top teams in the league, 96 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: in the NFC, in the conference and who the quarterbacks? 97 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: Would you like to run them? Those again? Starting with 98 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: the unbeaten Arizona Cardinals, kyler By the Rams have one loss. 99 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: They Matthew Stafford, the Packers have one loss. Aaron Rodgers 100 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,679 Speaker 1: now Boys have one loss. Jack Prescott, Who am I missing? 101 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady? Tom Brady in the Bucks. Yeah, and then 102 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: they played that last night. Now I understand it was raining, right, 103 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: what is it called a bomb cyclone or something? Okay, 104 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: I think I think Peyton Sean called it a bomb typhoon. 105 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't think he had it right. All I know 106 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: it was rated pretty hard most of the time, right, 107 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: the wind was blowing. But still the easy passes they missed, 108 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: you know, and the one that ends up being the 109 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: what was it an eighty four year our touchdown pass? 110 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: Right Geno Smith to Metcalf, He pushed the dB down, 111 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: just pushed him to the ground. And and and the guys, 112 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: those guys that do Monday night football, by the way, 113 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: they are so critical of everything, everything that goes on. 114 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: They or something. It's unbelievable. It gets annoying, especially the 115 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: play by play guy. Just tell me what's going on. 116 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: I don't need to hear your opinion. That's why you 117 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: got the other two guys. But they never mentioned the 118 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: fact that Metcalf just shoved Lattimore to the ground. How 119 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: did the officials miss it? Well, Lattimore is for the ride, honestly, 120 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: because he grabbed onto him from the jump. Then they 121 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: should have called interference one way or another right, and 122 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: and but that that was it. That was the play 123 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: of the game, and that was was that the first series? 124 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: It was, wasn't it on? I hesitate to be critical casters, Well, 125 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: I can do it, but that is something on the 126 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: Monday night broadcast. They've they've struggled so much to come 127 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: up with a team for the Monday night broadcast. And 128 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: that's where Witton got thrown a disservice. And I've worked 129 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: Joe Tessa tour was intern with me Channel five back 130 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: in the early night. Well, you needed to teach them 131 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: a few more or less. But but I think it's 132 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: more though that they're they've been coached or taught, or 133 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: they feel an obligation to be more than than the game. 134 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: And it's and they're opinionated and so forth. That what 135 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: they need, though is to go back and go listen 136 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: to Monday night football when Monday night football was the thing. Right, 137 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: We're going back to the seventies and the eighties with Dandy, 138 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: Don Meredith and Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, he was never 139 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: like that. Okay, go back and listen to Summer All 140 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: with Madden Summer All was as was understated as you 141 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: can possibly be and Madden was the show. Okay, Nance 142 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: with Romo, I'll yet Nance. Let's Romo be Romo okay, 143 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: and so anyway, yeah off that soapar anyway, Yeah, that 144 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: was That game was brutal, That's all I got to say. Well, 145 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: and so I missed the Brady with the mannings. Okaye 146 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: that I tuned in and the second half after she 147 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: went to bed and uh, so I caught the last 148 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: quarter of the Manning cast. They had Breeze on at 149 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: the end. They had Sue Bird, who's a star for 150 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: the Seattle w NBA team on prior to that. Um 151 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: and um. It was not even when Breeze was on 152 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: at the end, it was it was not apparently what 153 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: I'm hearing it. The Brady part of the Manning cast 154 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: was like, apparently it was pretty good. I've got a 155 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: solution for you. Okay, your on your scene TVC Yes. Yes. 156 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: So we treated ourselves at Christmas to buy a bigger TV. 157 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: So we moved the other TV and I thought I 158 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: could just carry it into the bedroom, right it was 159 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: it was too heavy for one person, so I just 160 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: kind of put it on the floor off to the 161 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: side in the no and it's still there. It moved. 162 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: It moved on Saturday because we were hosting a somewhat 163 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: of a little neighborhood party. Right, so from December twenty 164 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: twenty whatever, Yeah, where nobody could come in your house 165 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: to Saturday. That TV's been there, right, And I've got 166 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: a one of those little plug in tennis to get 167 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: the local channels, and I can connect my laptop to 168 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: it to get the other channels.

Right, Well, it's turned out, okay, 200 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: you don't have that ball, right, But you know, in 201 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: twenty years is that going to be a big deal? 202 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: But the big deal is today, right, because he ended 203 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: up getting what two signed jerseys?

That's right, 221 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: And so did Jerry talk about that this morning? He did, Okay, 222 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: he talked about things that he valued and he said 223 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: that football would have been like your firstborn, your baby. 224 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: That's that's how important it would have been. And he 225 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: told the story that when he was sixteen years old, 226 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: he had the family, had a friend who was a 227 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: big deal with the Blackhawks in Chicago, and he got 228 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: him to go into the clubhouse of the Chicago cub 229 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: and he said he went up to Ernie Banks with 230 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: a baseball and got an autograph. And he said he 231 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: still has it to this day. Really that he uh, 232 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: he kept it and it was it meant so much 233 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: to him because of Ernie Banks, right, and knew of them, obviously, 234 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: Ernie grew up here in Dallas. Uh and uh, he said. 235 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: He finally, at some point later in life ran into 236 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: Ernie Banks and Ernie said, well, very glad to meet you, 237 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: and he goes, well, I met you long time ago, 238 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: and Ernie goes, really, I would have remembered that, he goes, No, 239 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: I was sixteen years old and you signed my baseball. 240 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: And this is long after Ernie retired kind of moved 241 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: back to finally move back to Dallas towards the end 242 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: of his life. But yeah, he's that was his answer 243 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: to it, was, I had I've heard I've always thought 244 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: I heard, like all Jerry's story, there's always another one. Yeah, 245 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: that was a good one too. By the way, Ernie 246 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: Banks Baseball signed.

I didn't know there was 256 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: one there. My sister and brother in law went through 257 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: and they got me a momento. So were you a 258 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: big autograph seeker? No? I scared. I was scared to 259 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: get turned down, so I didn't want to. I never 260 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: understood it as a kid, I never understood it. However, 261 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: the one time. There were a couple of times I 262 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: remember getting autographs. One of them was at an exhibition 263 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: baseball game in Arlington. My dad had said go down 264 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: there and get whoever's auto. I don't even remember who 265 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: it was, Okay, But the time that I really remember 266 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: was we were at Market Hall in Dallas and Bob 267 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: Lily was there making an appearance, and we my dad 268 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: and I. We walked by Bob Lily as he was leaving, basically, 269 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: and my dad. He walked by us, and my dad 270 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: caught up with him and I got his autograph. And 271 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: that's the only autograph that I really remember getting as 272 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: a kid was Bob Lily's. And so and that was 273 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: and so that was a happen. We talked with Bob 274 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: Lily a little bit, you know, and so that was 275 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: It was just an impromptu thing, you know. And so 276 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: I have no idea what I did with that autograph. 277 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: But anyway, here's how goofy I was. So in nineteen 278 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: eighty three, they were having the fiftieth anniversary Major League 279 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: Baseball All Star Game and they to commemorate it, they 280 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: went to where it was first held, in Komiski Park 281 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: in Chicago, and I got to go in there and 282 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: cover the festivities right and and the game. So they 283 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: had the old timers deal the day before, so I 284 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: go in the locker room the clubhouse, and my childhood 285 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,239 Speaker 1: idol was in there, Louis Appersio, right, Little Louis right, 286 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: I could identify what Right learned to bunt. I was 287 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: fast back in the day, I said, I was fast, okay, 288 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: just like him. I could steal bases, bunt and get 289 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: the first base. And everybody was sitting there interviewing him, 290 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: and I just kind of stood and watched, and I 291 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: marveled at joke. I said, I can't go ask him questions. 292 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: That's my idol, right, Louis Apparichio, who is by the way, 293 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: still alive, yes, eighty seven years old from Venezuela.

That's funny that 297 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: he would lead the league and stolen bases or be 298 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: there at the top.

They had a little Halloween party last night. 347 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: You saw that, did you? I did not. They had 348 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: There are some pictures making the rounds. I think guess 349 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: it was last night. I don't know. De Marcus Lawrence 350 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: Halloween party. Staffed the house, invited the guys over, and 351 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: there are some pictures floating around. And Dak was there 352 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: and so he was moving around. Apparently he wasn't on 353 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: crutches or apparently not. Nope, what on that little scooter 354 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: that he used to have, Not that I'm aware of. So, 355 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: as we mentioned yesterday, it looked like they were gonna 356 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: do something something out on the field. Yes, looks like 357 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: they did kind of a mini camp practice. Yeah. And 358 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: so they actually returned to work yesterday. They did their 359 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: cross self scout across the hall. Across the hall, Yes, 360 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: And it was interesting to hear Zach Martin talk about 361 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: it on you Know and how he goes and talks 362 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: to the defensive coaches to kind of they analyze what 363 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: the offense is doing. I don't know how they analyzed 364 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: him since he's played so well if Pro Football Focus 365 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: is accurate, right, But yeah, So, and we talked about 366 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: Dak poking his head out the door and you know, 367 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: basically not wanting to do the interview because he screams out. 368 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: He goes, if I came up there with you today, 369 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have anything to write about the rest of 370 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: the week. Well, I think when Jerry Jones did his 371 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: interview uh today on the fan, he said that based 372 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: on you know what we saw yesterday, he was very encouraged. 373 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: Uh he said, I feel very good about where Dak is. 374 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: So uh. You know, he pointed out that he seems 375 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 1: far less concerned about the calf strain than he was 376 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: about the shoulder muscle strain in training camp. Uh. He 377 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: said it's must the calf is much less sensitive, is 378 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: how he put it. So. Um, so we'll see. My 379 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: guess is tomorrow Dak will do kind of the early stuff. Uh, 380 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: he'll do the indoor uh kind of quarterback school that 381 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: they call whatever drills they do amongst themselves. Uh. And 382 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: then probably be limited in practice. My guess is they 383 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: won't ask him to do a lot, if any, in 384 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: the team drills at least tomorrow, and then see where 385 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: he's at on Thursday. But it seems like from what 386 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 1: he Jerry had to say, what Stephen said on Monday, 387 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: you know, it seems like all systems go at this point. Okay, 388 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: And you can check out wherever on Twitter, just search 389 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: and you can find a picture of that celebrating celebrating Halloween. Yes, 390 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: so there you go. Was he dancing or anything? I 391 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: don't know, there's just a picture. And then after our show, 392 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: by the way, which always happens, right, Cowboys announced that 393 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: Lele Collins was officially on the fifty three man roster. 394 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: I think they did that move on Friday. They release 395 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: Nick Ralston, the rookie fullback, and then sign him back 396 00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: to the practice crowd. So Lele Collins will be officially 397 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: practicing this week with the team for the first time 398 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: after serving his five game suspension. Michael Gallop, they started 399 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: his ir return clock. He would have three weeks to 400 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: practice before they have to make an official move there, 401 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: so he should be in practice. Dorance Armstrong, I hear 402 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: is going to be returning to practice, and they also 403 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: started the practice for Francis Bernard who was on IR 404 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: and Tristan Hill, who had been on pup since the 405 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: start of training camp. So those guys all should be 406 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: practicing this week, and then I think as the week goes, 407 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: we'll see if in all you know or whoever might 408 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: play in the game on Sunday night. Leale Collins, it depends, right, 409 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: he's played one game in the Cowboys last what twenty 410 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: two So do you send him right out there with 411 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: one padded practice after six weeks or do you say, well, 412 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: let's practice a week and then see where you go 413 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: next week. I think there's some consternation out there, most 414 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: of it, I think. I don't think it's fan driven. 415 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: I think it's talk radio driven. That oh, what's the difference. Well, 416 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: that's a good point. Sometimes I think the fan is 417 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: smarter than talk radio. That the Cowboys are are upset 418 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: with him, and you know, because they won't say he's 419 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: immediately going to start this Sunday that they they're they're 420 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: thinking that, well, I don't know, maybe we'll trade him, 421 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: or maybe we're still mad at him for the five 422 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 1: game suspension, which none of it made sense to me whatsoever. 423 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: When you had a Pro Bowl quality right tackle, you're 424 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: not gonna mess with him. He's gonna be here. There's 425 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: no way you're trading him. Why because because because Terrence 426 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: Steele is taking over the right tackle. But even if 427 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: I know, even if I know, Okay, let's for a second, 428 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: say Terrence Steele is playing at a Pro Bowl level. 429 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: If you are five and one and lead your division 430 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: by three and a half games at the end of October, 431 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: why would you trade any assets away? Right? Because when 432 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: you got eleven games left in the season, plus the 433 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: presumable the line is a week from today, you're adding 434 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: assets trading them away, exactly. And that's the way jerf 435 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: have we not seen year to year how fleeting this 436 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: is to have opportunities like this. And that's what Jerry 437 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: pointed out last week. He said, we don't need to trade. 438 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: We got guys coming back. Those are our trades, right, 439 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: they're coming back to the roster. You're certainly not trading 440 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: away guys that you value. And he said, we're going 441 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: to have a hard enough trouble fitting these guys back 442 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: on the roster, right, Let alone bring it in somebody 443 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: from outside. So yeah, I was very amused at that. 444 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: And I'm also amused that the Michael Gallup talk about Yell, 445 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: you know he's going to be a free agent. You 446 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: got Cedric Wilson. Well, guess what, Cedric Wilson going to 447 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: be a free agent next year too. So don't try 448 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: to get fancy. Don't start looking ahead when you're in 449 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: the moment right now. Stay in the moment. You got 450 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: an opportunity here. Why would you do anything to your 451 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: roster to diminish the talent right and the depth that 452 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: you need going forward because you don't know, but what 453 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: what might happen. This isn't baseball, it's not the NBA 454 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: trade deadlines. Yeah, it's a different game. People point would 455 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: point out, well they got rid of Jalen Smith. Well, 456 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: well there was a reason for that, and I'm not 457 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: talking the money reason. They're right they Jalen Smith wasn't 458 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: valued as far as his play on the field in 459 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: my opinion, and I didn't hear his and maybe I 460 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: wasn't paying attention enough to the Packer game this past Sunday, 461 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: but I don't remember hearing his name, and the week 462 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: before in his first game back playing for the Packers. 463 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: He played seventeen snaps and he zeroed out. He didn't 464 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: have one participation. And it's not to knock him. That's 465 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: just where where he is shown to be in his 466 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: career at this point, right exactly. And um, yeah, this, 467 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: I mean there's talk about, there has been in the past, 468 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: talk about, well you got so much wide receiver and 469 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: gallops in his contract year and what could you get 470 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: for him? I mean, why would you want to trade 471 00:30:53,720 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup? Plus you look at their situation now without 472 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: Gallup h and one wide receiver gets hurt, right, then 473 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: what right? What if it's ceedee lamb? You feel good 474 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: about Cooper, Cedric Wilson and Noah Brown going out there? Right? 475 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: Probably not? So yeah, just be sensible and think about today. 476 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: Don't worry about a year of tomorrow's. So anyway, so 477 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: all those guys should be back in practice and we'll 478 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: see how much they're able to do. But but for 479 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: for Gallup, Tristan Hill, and Francis Bernard, they all have 480 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: three week window. So we're looking at at Minnesota home 481 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: against Denver, home against Atlanta, right, and then at Kansas City. 482 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: So there's something that those guys, the three weeks, those 483 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: are three So would they by three weeks would get 484 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: let's say, in the case of Gallup, he would have 485 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: to be activated before the Atlanta game or do they 486 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: give him the Monday after for the following week? Think 487 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: you get three full full weeks? Yeah? So, and then 488 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: Kills a different story because he was on pup. So 489 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: those guys, if I remember correctly, you got three weeks 490 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: once they start practicing, and then you have two more 491 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: weeks to decide if you want to put them on 492 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: the fifty three or leave him on PUP for the 493 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: rest of the year. All right, So the next question 494 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: on let's say, on Gallop, come the three week window 495 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: opens for practice for him, Let's say three weeks from now, 496 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: they determine that he's not ready or he had a 497 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: setback in practice, he's he then is still on ir 498 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: is can you have can can he come back? I 499 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: think not? I think once for the season. Once you 500 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: start the three three week window, then then you got 501 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: to make a decision, and and then you're if you 502 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: don't activate him within the three weeks, he's done for 503 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: the years. So in their mind, they wouldn't start him 504 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: back to practice if they didn't think within a three 505 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: week window that he'd be back and ready to go. Henny, 506 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: who knows he might be back this week, right because 507 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: they might have done this last week. We don't know 508 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: where he is, right, you know, But because there was 509 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: no reason right to start that window in case he 510 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: did have a setback, right, like they started the windows 511 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: two games ago for Kelvin Joseph and Sean McEwan. And 512 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: so those guys are getting close to they have to 513 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: make a decision on them, right, they were on injured reserve. 514 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: But again, you're getting all these guys back, but you're 515 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: gonna have to start cutting people, right, And if you 516 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,959 Speaker 1: look at the roster, there's not a bunch of you know, 517 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: stuff at the end of the roster that you're going, yeah, 518 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: I really don't need that. They're just here for developmental purposes. 519 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: I mean, start looking at it. Whore you cutting? I 520 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: counted last night that in their release that has the snaps, 521 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: they've played sixty guys already and there's only six games. 522 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: So now if you're going to bring some of these 523 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: guys back, um, so they have played sixty guys. There's 524 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: a sixteen man practice squad now some of those practice 525 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: squad guys are included in the sixties right now, I 526 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 1: probably and you know what, I didn't count the practice 527 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: squad guys. So if I remember correctly, when Dan Quinn 528 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: talked about it, you said we played sixty three guys. Okay, 529 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: so so those are the prec but I think on 530 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: the on the list of snaps, they list the practice 531 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: squad guys like you could have played some of those games, 532 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: so I think it's sixty. But yeah, and then there's 533 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: been some comings and goings on the practice squads. So 534 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: basically started training, you got a ninety man roster in 535 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: training camp, and so roughly seventy six guys have had 536 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: jobs right Okay, at least yes, um this season out 537 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 1: of the and they understand that some of them weren't 538 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: necessarily back and forth, right But yeah, and this day 539 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: and age, and with these rules as far as I are, 540 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: which I love, which I think they should have done 541 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: a long time ago myself, and made more economic sense too, 542 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: when you're investing so much money in these players that 543 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: if they're able to come back within three weeks, then 544 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: bring them back, you know. And you know, and the 545 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: thing that the thing that governs. That is a salary 546 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: cab where you can't stash guys, right. But the other 547 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: thing is they may sit there and go, well, okay. 548 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: And the only two guys that we didn't mention, Lawrence 549 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: and Neville Gallim, were probably a couple of weeks away. 550 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: But what we didn't mention was they can sit there 551 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: and go okay. Maybe these guys are ready to play. 552 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: But if we bring them back, whom I cutting? You know, 553 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,760 Speaker 1: say say it's Gallum, You're gonna cut seem for Hoko 554 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: because if you do, then he's got to go through 555 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: waivers and somebody might look up and go, oh, I 556 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: had a fifth round grade on that guy too. I 557 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: think I'm going to add him to my team, and 558 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: you don't get him on the practice squad. So maybe 559 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: some of the decision is, well, let's wait a week 560 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: because somebody might get exactly they got to go to 561 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: IR and now I've got an open spot, and it 562 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 1: creates a spot organically instead of saying, you know, or 563 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: or when um Tristan Hill comes back, you're gonna have 564 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: to cut somebody if you're gonna put him on the 565 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 1: fifty three and they don't have enough defensive tackles as 566 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 1: it is. So I mean, what are you doing, is Bradley, 567 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of teams out there with sub 568 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: five hundred records who would just love to take a 569 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: flyer on him right and put him at and we 570 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: can stash him at the end of our roster or 571 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: play him Jacksonville or that. You know, Houston's got all 572 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: these veteran players, They're gonna be getting rid of something 573 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: a lot of those guys, even if they don't trade 574 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 1: them that and bringing young guys. Why would you Why 575 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: would you play veteran guys when you're as bad as 576 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: the Texans are right now, you can be you can 577 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: be really bad not playing those guys. So you work 578 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: on your future and think about it. When Gallimore comes back, 579 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: somebody's got to go, Lawrence comes guarantee those defensive ends 580 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: got to go. Guarantee a team like the Texans, they 581 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: are just gonna be vultures for people managing that. And 582 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: you should be right right exactly, absolutely, Yeah. So there's 583 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: in fact, I think if you let go a guy, 584 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: you expose the guy to waivers, you can just basically 585 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: almost be assured he's gonna be picked up when you 586 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: have a roster like the Cowboys have right now, and 587 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: and and they've almost used. I mean, the only guy 588 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to say this off the top of my head, 589 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: I bet the only guy that hasn't played that's on 590 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: the fifty three is Will Greer and Cooper. Did Cooper 591 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: Rush get a snap or two? No? He did not. 592 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: I don't think I can look that up real quick. 593 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have said it. He did. He go in 594 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia the game Philadelphia. Yeah, so Will Greer is 595 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: probably the only person on the fifty three that has 596 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: not played the snap and Cooper Rush had three snaps 597 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: against Philadelphia.

And let's see they played. Their last 645 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: game was at Carolina, which they won in overtime. They 646 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 1: have two straight wins to get to three and three 647 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: on the season. Have you looked at who their losses 648 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: are against? They lost the season opener at Cincinnati. How 649 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: are the Bengals doing this year? Pretty good? They lost 650 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,919 Speaker 1: to them by three points twenty seven, twenty four. Their 651 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 1: second game, they lost at the Arizona Cardinals by one 652 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: point thirty four thirty three.

They lost too. They beat a winless Detroit 659 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 1: team by two points, nineteen to seventeen two weeks ago. 660 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: On the October tenth, back, Carolina handed them what was 661 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:21,280 Speaker 1: then their third straight loss in overtime thirty four twenty eight. Okay, 662 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: So I take it back now having said that, Okay, 663 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 1: in this league, I mean the Vikings are coming off 664 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: a bye. They got two straight wins. I don't care 665 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: who they're against. They are capable and their home right, 666 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: and they'll have a roof over their heads, right, and 667 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer pretty good defensive coordinator. Right, and McCarthy and 668 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: Zimmer have matched up a time or two over the 669 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: last half decade, so and they should have some insight 670 00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: into that Minnesota defense with George Edwards now on this side, 671 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 1: the former coordinator Cousins on the season has two interceptions 672 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 1: and thirteen touchdown passes, and you know he likes to 673 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: air it out. And Adam Feeling and Justin Jefferson had 674 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: an ankle issue prior to their last game, but he 675 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,760 Speaker 1: played and had eight catches for eighty yards. He's fine. Yeah, 676 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 1: So it was just and then they got Dalvin cookback 677 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 1: and Cook has two one hundred yard games, but his 678 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: backup Andrew or Alexander Madison also has two one hundred 679 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: yard games. So they they what they have done and 680 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: we'll dive deeper into it as a week goes on. 681 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 1: They've shored up that offensive line a little bit and 682 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 1: they got their first round draft at Christian Derris saw 683 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: back last game he made his first start at left tackle, 684 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,399 Speaker 1: and so so this is going to be another test 685 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: for this Cowboy defense. It's exactly yeah, And that's the 686 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: kind of the Achilles heel right now of this team 687 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 1: is how well can this defense play and can they 688 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 1: keep up the takeaways at the rate that they've been getting. 689 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 1: And by the way, the Vikings are not turning the 690 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: ball over on offense, They've only given it up five 691 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 1: times so far. So this is going to be and 692 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: it's a night game on television. Oh's they're gonna televising. 693 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: They're gonna televise this one. And it's the Sunday Night crew, 694 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: not the Monday Night crew. Okay. And so I'm just thinking, okay, 695 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,839 Speaker 1: we started with the World Series Game one, so one 696 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: in two or Tuesday and Wednesday an off day Thursday, 697 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: so it'll be assuming it's not a sweep, Game five 698 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 1: of the World Series in Atlanta on Sunday night. So 699 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 1: which which is going to have better ratings? Is it 700 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboy Vikings Sunday Night Football or Game five? So 701 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:05,280 Speaker 1: they're doing two three two? Now? Uh yeah? Okay, yeah, 702 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: because it used to be to one one. That's not 703 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 1: a good idea, No, like that one. No, no, they 704 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: changed it for travel purpose purposes for the media. Well, 705 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 1: the NBA did that, I know baseball did the same thing. 706 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 1: I believe they did. Okay, right, all right, last back 707 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 1: this that goes back to when the Celtics are playing 708 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,280 Speaker 1: on the Lakers every year in the NBA Finals, coast 709 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 1: to coast. It would go to seven games and they 710 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 1: would have to fly for Boston to LA and back 711 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 1: for games five, six, and seven. Yeah, that was before 712 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: the It wasn't very smart. The media outlets started having 713 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: financial difficulties. That was what caused the financial difficulties. It's 714 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 1: probably right, all the money we spent traveling to cover things. Right, 715 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 1: So we are in agreement that that the NFL is 716 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: the most popular sport. That's what we have decided here. 717 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: I think we need to argue about that because it's 718 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 1: in Texas, right, the World Series three times in five years? 719 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 1: Is that right? Right? Yep? Because it was here last 720 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: year at so so think about it. It's been ten 721 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 1: years now since our local baseball team was in the 722 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: World Series, Okay, And it's been ten years now since 723 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 1: our local NBA team has been in the NBA Finals 724 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: and won it. And it's been twenty five years since 725 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 1: our local football team has done it. But this is 726 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 1: about to change, right, This is the twenty sixth year, right, Yes, 727 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: the worms turning. But our hockey team, your hockey team, 728 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 1: they were there two years ago, right. Unfortunately nobody can 729 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 1: see it in person. In person, yeah, Tampa Bay in 730 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 1: the way. I got so tired of seeing the signs 731 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: up when we went to Tampa for the game. Yeah, 732 00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,040 Speaker 1: and all over town it was like two times I 733 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:05,319 Speaker 1: am defending Stanley Cup Champions, Cup Champions. All right, Well, 734 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 1: that does it for this edition of mix Shots, and 735 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: we will see you again tomorrow when Everson Walls will 736 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: be shouting go Cowboys at the end of mix Shots, 737 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: See you tomorrow, very good one.
