WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Reacting To These Crazy Times 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:04.280 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:14.120 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mick Shot 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:18.320 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:23.000 Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:37.560 and Nicky Spagnola, and it is time for another edition 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.880 of mix Shots. Got a false start to start this one, 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.680 but we got things corrected and we are ready to 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.080 roll for the next hour here on this what is it? 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:56.360 June fourth, ju twenty, Bill Jones, Mickey Spagnola, Everson Walls, 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.920 and Big News coming down this morning because things are 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.440 starting to open up at the start in Frisco. Of course, 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.919 it's been opened up a little for a little while now, 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.600 but coaches can be back in the building starting tomorrow. 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.120 And I would think Mickey's Bagnola that Mike McCarthy, if 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.280 he's not already in Frisco, Texas, he is on a 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:22.920 jet plane headed back here from Green Bay. And we 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.280 don't have Mickey just yet, So Everson, I would say, 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.120 Mike McCarthy is on a jet plane headed to Frisco, 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.720 Texas as we saw. Well, it's about time, man. I'm 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.480 just like you. Bill I'm ready for the season to start. 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.640 I'm ready for the offseason to really get get going 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.479 right now, and right now with the Cowboys and the 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.240 NFL trying to figure out how the season is going 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:49.000 to get started this year, all kind of decisions are 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.000 going to be made, and I think they're gonna be 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.920 changing even up until the last minute of some of 0:01:54.960 --> 0:02:00.400 these events, because everything just seems to be changing all 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.520 over the place in every sport. So I think there 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.760 a lot of the sports are learning from each other 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.240 and they're taking queues from each other, trying to figure 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.680 out the best way to go through with a safe 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:19.399 ball game and still be socially conscious. I guess yep, 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.679 it'd be nice to get this offseason started for a change. Here. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.960 It's been a long wait to get to this point. 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.360 And of course, the other news that came down earlier 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.200 in the week is the fact that Cowboys will not 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:37.360 have training camp in Oxnard, California. We'll see when training 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.360 camp start, but ever since we would be right now, 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.680 precisely forty eight days away from the start of training camp, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.960 assuming there is a Hall of Fame game, and so 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.080 we're inching ever so close, and it's going to be 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.040 very interesting over the course of the next days, if 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.040 not weeks, what decisions are made as far as when 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.959 this thing is getting started for sure, Well, if nothing else, 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.040 you talk about training camp, that's gonna be a big change. 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:07.680 I kind of wish I could have gone through that 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:13.320 training camp. I never enjoyed leaving to go to Thousand Oaks. 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.720 I never enjoyed leaving the city to go out to 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:22.120 the rural areas and be on lockdown. I think this 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.600 is gonna be a welcome change to me for the 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:30.880 entire NFL. Let's just be real. This thing started, my god, 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:35.880 forty fifty years ago. Sixty years ago, Vince Lombardi thought 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.960 it'd be a good idea to take his team away 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.560 from the family where they can really concentrate on being champions. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.960 And because they had the blueprint with all this with 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.840 a couple of Super Bowls early on, everyone followed suit, 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.360 and so to me, I think it's a good change 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.840 to get back to me, it's unnecessary to travel. It 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.440 really is being at home I think is more comfortable 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.720 than being on the road and being away from your family. 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.120 I would rather they do it like this all the time. 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.040 To tell the truth and I'm pretty sure I'm in 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.280 the minority in that regard. It would be interesting if 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.839 changes are made in the future as far as the 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.960 way the off season is conducted, depending or as a 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.880 result of what's happened here over the last few a 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.000 few months, and also as we go forward and what 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.880 the schedule is going to be as far as this 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:34.120 offseason program. Whenever the facilities are opened up for the players. 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.440 It might not be until training camp before the players 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.800 are allowed in there, but it may turn out to 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.680 be a better schedule to have more time maybe on 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.880 campus at their practice facilities in July before training camp starts, 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.240 less time on campus earlier in the off season. We'll 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.520 just see how it progresses and see what they gather 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.039 from this, what trainspires over the next month or so, 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.720 to see what happens, you know, I have to say, 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:12.159 I'm always surprised that the NFL owners are willing to 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.800 spend more money and go out to a training camp 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:20.480 and get prepared for the preseason, then staying home and 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.440 putting that money in their pockets. I always thought it 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:30.440 was kind of an unnecessary expense and unnecessary process in 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.720 regards to going to training camp. So I'm very surprised 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:38.239 about it. If you recall, the cowboys were in Thousand 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:42.200 Oaks first, and then when Jimmy and Jerry came they 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.599 went to Austin, and they went Austin for a few years, 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.719 and for some reason they decided to go back out 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.080 to California and ended up being in ox Nord. So 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.800 they obviously have some type of connection in the southern 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.720 California area. But as far as I'm concerned, it's still 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.880 money that could be spent somewhere else, as opposed to 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.279 going all the way out to the West Coast, as 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.000 opposed to staying here in your own facility, which is 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:14.919 an amazing facility. To me, It's made for trainee camp 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.200 to be here. They can go stay in the hotel 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.240 which is right next to the Star, and do it 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.520 in that manner. I'm just very surprised that they're willing 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:30.560 to steal with I'm sure with much disregard, they wanted 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.200 to still go out to Thousand go out to oxenhow 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.960 as opposed to staying at home, And I still don't 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.120 understand that. Tell you what, We're going to clear up 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.760 a couple of technical glitches that we have on Ari 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.240 end right now, how about we taking a little break here. 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:49.000 Maybe we'll established contact with Mickey and we got much 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.920 to get to as mix shots continues in just a moment. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.040 I'm J Nobachek, former tight end for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.320 Back in the day, I was a guy who always 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.880 got the tough yards and that's why I run with 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.560 John Deer today.

Back back 0:08:53.240 --> 0:09:08.120 to mixed shots Mick Shots continues now as we've got 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.479 much to get to. We're establishing contact with Mickey Spagnola. 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:18.600 In the meantime, it's Everson, Walls and meat. I'm sorry, buddies. Yeah, no, no, 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:23.120 you're You're just fine, evers as we talk about what's 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.400 going on, and the big story around the league right 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:30.120 now is the fact that coaches can go back into 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.720 their facilities starting tomorrow. The commissioner sent a memo to 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.720 the teams this morning and opening the door for the 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.120 coaches the coaching staff to be there. There's still a 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.120 limit the number of people who can be in the 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:48.200 practice facility, which numbers at one hundred and so it'll 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.360 be interesting to see how the Cowboys handled that. But 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:55.520 I would imagine, of course, the coaches Everson had been working. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.880 You know, they're established in their home offices doing everything 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.240 right now. Unless they had some lead time on this, 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.600 they're probably comfortable where they are right now, and they 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.880 may not be back in the office exactly tomorrow, but 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:09.880 the doors are at least open. They can be in 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.720 the office tomorrow. Can you imagine what it's been like 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:18.440 though for them and for the players throughout this the 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.440 last six to eight weeks, you know, the Cowboys were 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.400 able to start communicating with their players back on I 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.400 believe it was April sixth, since they had a new 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.400 coaching staff. So we're right that basically the two month 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.679 mark of these zoom meetings or the WebEx meetings or 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.960 whatever they're using to communicate with the players. And it's 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.360 got to be just a strange thing trying to learn 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.320 on the fly like this. Yeah, I have to give 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.880 these guys a lot of credit in trying to push through. 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.880 This has got to be one of the more unusual 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:54.160 moments in sports history, no doubt about it. The good 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.079 thing about the Cowboys is, first of all, they've got 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.840 an owner that spares no expiss in regards to their 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:05.840 comfort zone. So if you're gonna be confined to a facility, 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:11.240 the Star is an amazing place to be confined. It's 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.719 beautiful out there that the development out there is. It's 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.440 still going strong, even though there's no one in the 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:21.760 facility but them. You can't help but think about those 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:27.560 that are in crappy facilities around the NFL, how they're 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:32.000 feeling about being locked down, so to speak, in a 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.160 particular facility. Cowboys don't have that problem. I've been there 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.520 to the Star of an office at the start. It's 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.920 an amazing place, very comfortable and airy. You gotta love it. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.200 If you're gonna be locked down somewhere, that's the place 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.360 to be. You know. You're alluded to the fact that 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:51.600 the Cowboys, of course early on when after Jerry Jones 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.679 bought the team. Of course, the first year they had 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.360 training camp in Thousand Oaks in nineteen eighty nine, and 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.240 then they moved it to Austin starting in nineteen ninety. 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:03.960 Jimmy loved the heat of Austin. Uh And of course 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.800 after Jimmy left, Barry Switzer the coach, and they were 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.800 still in Austin. Then they moved to Wichita Falls and 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.839 finally wound up in Oxnard, and then back and forth 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.480 Oxnard in San Antonio over the last twenty years and 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.880 really the last ten years in Oxnard. But when you 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.240 talk about the Star, I mean the biggest thing about 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:27.360 training camp in Texas is the heat, obviously, and it 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.920 was just it was horribly hot and humid. In Austin, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.640 it was maybe it was a dry heat in Wichita Falls, 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.280 but it was hell that what you call it is 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:42.120 that what you called wiche Falls all did hell? Bill, 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:45.360 I'm well, there's a there's a bike race in late 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:49.199 August in Wichita Falls called the Hotter in Hell one hundred. 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.920 So it wasn't just hell. It was hotter than hell 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.920 in which let me let me say this. I was 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.640 working with another TV station and I was a reporter 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.520 in Thousand Oaks, I'm sorry, in Wichita Falls, and I 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.679 drove up and I brought my bike with me, so 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.840 I would go from the hotel to the site, to 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.360 the practice site or my tent speed and it is 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.360 hotter than hell out there. Okay, that's for real. I 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.240 don't care what time of day it was. So let's 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.320 think about this. You go from Dallas heat to Wichita 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.880 Falls heat. Okay. If the facilities weren't all that great, 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.400 there was nothing spectacular about it. I don't understand that 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.840 move alone. I would have rather stayed home in regards 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.800 to that, and not even worried about going to Wichita Falls, 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:43.800 which I thought was just such a meaningless training camp site. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:48.480 You could have stayed home and suffered in nothing. Just 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.959 you could have suffered enough from the heat that they 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.000 had in Dallas that year as opposed to going to 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.840 Whichta falls. But you know, heat is heat, and you're 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.240 only driving. I think it was about a two two 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.200 plus I will drive and you know you still feel 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:04.679 the same way. So I just thought that was just 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:09.440 so unnecessary. You know, we're having difficulty establishing a contact 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.600 with Mickey. But if Mickey were on here right now, 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.520 and maybe this is the real reason Mickey's not here 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.080 right now, I think he is in mourning the fact 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.680 that he's not able to go out to Oxnard, California 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.280 for three weeks. You know, there is there's some great 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:28.960 value going out to the great temperatures in august in 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.400 at late July and August in Oxendard in California, and 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.000 you were out in Thousand Oaks. It's a little warmer 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.640 in Thousand Oaks than what it is in Oxnard in 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:42.280 the summertime, but not much. And especially in your time 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.440 there in Thousand Oaks, there was not much to do there. 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.240 But even in Oxnard, the facility there at the residence end, 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:52.720 it's secluded. Uh, there's there's really very little chance that 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.680 the players can get out, of course, with even on 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.760 their off days, you know they can they can go 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.040 with a with a v they can go places or 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:06.080 uber someplace, but really at the Star in Frisco, they've 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:10.000 got everything that they need to have either an indoor 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.120 training camp, which they have done after they've come back 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.240 from Oxnard the last couple of weeks of camp the 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.800 last few years, but also they can go outdoors if 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.600 they want to. They got a grass field and a 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.840 turf field there. But if they want to go with 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.640 two grass fields, as I think Mickey pointed out on 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.480 his mix Shots column this week on Dallas Cowboys dot Com, 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.360 they could go right up the tollway to Frisco. There 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.400 are some great soccer fields there that FC Dallas has. 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.240 They got all the grass fields that they want up there. 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.440 If they want to go out on the grass for 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.240 a morning practice or whatever. And let's be real, they 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:50.080 have access to that, Bill, They do have access to that. 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.080 I'm sure Frisco will be willing to give Jerry and 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.160 the Cowboys. They will afford them any pleasure that they want. 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.320 That's funny that you brought up a thousand oaks and Oxnard. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:05.200 Let's be real, Bill, anything that's close to Los Angeles, 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.280 we're gonna get there, all right. We're gonna find it 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:14.600 as plays as players, we're gonna find the way to Frisco. 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.760 I tell the story all the time, players sneaking out 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.760 of the dorm in thousand those California, and we felt 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:27.240 like wiley coyote, tiptoeing from bush to bush, trying to 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.240 find cover to make sure that we weren't busted as 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.960 we as we went out to our cars that were 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:38.000 placed strategically off campus, and all of a sudden, you know, 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.840 we're the Magic Johnson Party. Okay, so now we're gonna 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.920 find our way to to wherever the fun is. So 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.600 as much as you like us being out in California, 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:52.160 great weather, to me, that's what the temptation is, to 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.360 bid to find a way to leave, and always worried 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:59.040 about how we're gonna sneak out this particular weekend or whatever. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.560 And when you're at home and at the Star, you 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:04.840 don't really have to worry about that. I think I 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:09.040 think it's easier to monitor players in Dallas at the 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.640 Star as opposed to trying to keep up with us 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.879 as we sneak out and go to different spots in 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.480 the LA area. Trust me, well, and even when when 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.520 you compare back in the nineties when they were going 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.679 to either Austin or Wichita Falls. There's a heck of 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:28.280 all more to do to find in Austin, Texas than 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.560 there is in't Wichita Falls. There's no doubt now Wichita Falls, 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:37.680 that was a true prison. That was Antrue prison training 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.920 camp right there. That that went even further back than 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:45.440 than the Vince Lombardy training camps. To me, the facilities 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:50.240 were pretty tough. Although it was plentiful for the Cowboys, 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:58.400 it wasn't the most ideal picturesque, picturesque a site as well. 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.960 All right, it's time for our normal break here on 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.040 mix shots.

Now 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:29.800 I'm ready to shoot mill I'm thinking, I'm thinking you're 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.200 ready to get back to the Star in Frisco enough 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.800 of this home office stuff. Well yeah, and you mentioned 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.960 maybe I didn't join the show because I was bemoaning 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:43.720 the fact we're not going to Bard for training camp. 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.680 So that's why I've got my last year training camp 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.520 shirt right. Well, why it's an ode to the West 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:54.720 coast and we're not going back there. And I am 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.440 saying we're not going back there, But I certainly understand 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:05.600 the reasons why no sense having any unnecessary travel uh 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.640 these days, and I think the Cowboys have a better 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:13.600 opportunity to control the environment themselves at the Star than 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:17.400 trying to go on the road and control it somewhere else. 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:21.480 I thought you were wearing that shirt, SPACs because it 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:23.399 was the only one you had downstairs in your basement. 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:29.119 This is classy from last year, by the way, so 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.480 we wore him when we went to the Why you 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:34.760 know the other thing about you know, you guys were 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:39.520 talking about upside downside of braining camp at the Star. 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:43.960 The downside is you only have one grass field, and 0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:46.280 if you're going to practice on the grass field, you're 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:49.160 probably gonna have to do it in the horn. Although 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.919 I did hear that Mike McCarthy didn't want to flip 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:57.159 the practice schedule. He likes having the big practice in 0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:01.760 Padge in the morning and the walkthrough afterwards in the afternoon, 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.040 opposite of what the Cowboys have been doing. So if 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:07.520 that's the case, you know they can get on one 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:12.240 grass field. Obviously they have the artificial turf. The Cowboys 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:15.439 used to practice that way on Wednesdays and then moved 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.920 inside on Thursday and Friday during the regular seasons, so 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.400 you don't have you know, two grass fields to work 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:27.000 on it. But technically they may not even be able 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:31.560 to use FC Dallas because the membo from the league 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:35.080 boys they can practice at their own facility, right Lundering. 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.600 I'm wondering if you do everything and just say okay, 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:42.280 but we're just going to use the the practice soccer 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:46.080 fields over there, and you would and you would think 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:49.200 that there are probably teams around the league that, yeah, 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:51.760 instead of using their practice facility, there might be a 0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:53.960 high school down the street or something where they use 0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:56.840 their practice fields instead, something like that, or a or 0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:59.480 a college or something when you can you use the 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:03.240 different practics field. I know we used Lows. We used 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:09.040 Lows Field over there in Addison, and that was we 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.280 never went inside the facility. We went straight from the 0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:15.600 bus to the field. So I really can't see that 0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:19.960 being a major issue in regards of regulations from the NFL. 0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:23.080 And along those lines, the Cowboys used to do that 0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:25.760 when they were at Valley Ranch and they would go 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:29.080 over to the Carrollton High School football stadium and had 0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:32.320 OTAs and so forth over there, so they as far 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:36.040 as OTAs go when the fields were too muddy, rain 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:39.320 or whatever, they went over to I think at Standridge 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:43.560 Stadium and practice and think about this a couple of 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:47.679 years at least one for sure in San Antonio, I 0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:50.440 believe when Bill wanted to get out and remember remember 0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:52.320 the year and they tried to grow grass in the 0:23:52.400 --> 0:24:01.560 parking lot. Lasted for about ten minutes. As soon it 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:05.320 was beautiful, right until two hundred and fifty pound guys 0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:08.439 got on the field. That grass ripped right up and 0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:11.240 they emmett went down and it was like that's it 0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:15.159 ground over. So they ended up getting bust over to 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:19.760 a junior high field that was close to the Alamodome. 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.800 It was about ten minutes away, and they would hold 0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:26.440 practices when they wanted to get out indoors because indoors 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:30.960 in that great Alamo Dome, oh God had got depressing. Uh, 0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.399 And you got to wonder who came up with that idea, 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:38.520 who was paid to Then somebody convinced them that we 0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:41.560
