We're live inside 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:29.119 the s WBC podcast studio, Bill Jones, Mickey Spagnola. Everson 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.720 Walls has decided to take off early for Christmas apparently, 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:37.000 but he's given us his picks to click on Saturday 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.960 and Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays to all of you as 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.360 we get you said for a Christmas weekend in Arlington. 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.199 Was Everson scared of the snow or what? I don't 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:51.080 I think the cold, blustery conditions outside. In fact, I 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.200 was wondering what producers Supreme Chris Beam was gonna play. 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.960 We have to play Stampede but yesterday he was trying 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.560 to play Ristmas music. It didn't sound like Christmas music. 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.720 Christmas music, and that's what it was on until the 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:12.160 scroll down till Bill tried producing. He go, hey, this 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:17.600 is jingle bells. Apparently I can hear it a little bit. 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.840 It doesn't really get you fired up for football, but yeah, meow. 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.919 Although I found an interesting station on the way maybe 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.519 home the other day. It was holidays. Maybe we need 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.480 that as a bed for Mickey's stories about his station 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:43.040 he's listening to. It was holiday soul, Holiday soul. I 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.720 would like that. So how can I find that one? Serious? 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.240 Channel forty nine? Okay, all right, very good. Yeah, it 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.840 was interesting some of the names they came up with, 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.800 because basically, I don't know if any of the soul 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.160 singers are singing Christmas songs these days, but back in 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.080 the day they Mailia Jackson. Yeah, good stuff there, my 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.200 daddy's favorite, Della Fitzgerald. All right? Uh? And but I 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.440 was you know what I was singing on my way 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:16.280 into day? What's that? Bill? Oh? The weather outside is frightful? 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.160 Do we get in trouble for that? If I sing it? Chris? 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.359 I don't think so. I think that's a recording. Yeah, 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.680 I think. I think those are like it should be 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.520 a recording, and now it is a recording. As a 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.359 matter of fact, we will once again say, because I'm 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.840 not sure what's going to happen on Friday or Saturday, 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.800 but there's a roof over the game on Saturday, and 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.520 I'm the windows. The doors will be shut, and those 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.760 doors will be shut, the roof will be shut. I 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.920 can't help you on the way into the stadium though, 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.600 and when you get there, yep, yep. But for those 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.960 of you outside the area right now, and the blue 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:59.200 Norther struck about nine o'clock this morning, actually eight o'clock 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:04.040 this morning is when I was batting down the hatches. 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.200 I put my coverings on the faucets outside, and as 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.360 soon as I did that, here came the wind. So 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.320 you think that's the reason why when I left the 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.520 house at nine thirty my newspaper wasn't on the driveway. 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:21.320 The weather right now here in Frisco, Texas is it's 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:26.320 nineteen degrees and windy, and it was when I woke up, 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.039 it was probably in the forties, and so it is dropped. 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:34.000 It quickly dropped from forty five to in the twenties 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.760 in the eight o'clock nine o'clock hour this morning, and 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.000 right now we're sitting at nineteen degrees here, and I'm 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.800 just hoping my freeze protection on my pools work exactly 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:50.479 same here, huh. And and it's supposed to continue like 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.039 this into Saturday, and it's supposed to get down to 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.359 the low it says here the low today will be 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.520 eleven and then tomorrow you say it gets down to 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.000 eight on Saturday morning. Yes, but it's supposed to warm 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.920 up a little bit during the day. And the wind, 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:13.799 I think the wind advisory the wind chill advisory last 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:18.320 I saw us through tomorrow mid afternoon or something like that, 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.440 and so maybe the wind will die down a little bit. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.520 That's what makes it really difficult. I went out this 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.320 morning to take care of some pool stuff and it 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:30.120 was cold and wind blowing. Yes, absolutely, So I was 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.359 looking ahead to the Tennessee game to see what the 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.120 temperature wasn't be that on the Thursday night game, and 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:36.839 I was explained to my wife, was like, it's great, 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.840 it's gonna be like, you know, high in the fifties, 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.080 low in like the thirties. She's like, whoa this weekend 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.800 for the game. It's gonna be this degree, I said, honey, 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.880 I don't know if you've noticed, but there's a dome, 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.680 so I don't really care about that, and there's no 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.880 dome in Tennessee and there's no until twenty twenty six. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.719 Now I think they're gonna build and just got approved today. Mick. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.000 Oh really, yes, I saw that come across breaking new 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:09.280 stadium or just a new stadium with the roof. Everybody 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.440 wants the Super Bowl nowadays, that's right. Does Buffalo want 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.640 win or do they want ten inches of snow during 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.960 the game. They're gonna do ten inches during the game, okay, 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:23.040 and so uh elsewhere around In fact, you got an 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:27.520 outdoor game this week and in the United States of America, 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:32.080 and it's going to affect your fantasy football team, yeah, 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:37.560 or your college football team. We had a game tonight, Yeah, 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.520 that's right, And there's probably games every day, but there's 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.320 a game tonight in Fort Worth the Baylor Bears. That's right, 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.120 the arm Play Air Force, the Armed Forces Bowl. It's 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.039 on the TCU campus. And so we're talking right now. 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.479 It's nineteen degrees and no telling what's going to be 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.720 at six thirty tonight when they kick off. Went to 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:56.960 that game last year, by the way, well maybe you 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.240 should go this year now, Sit out, sit outside, Mickey. Yeah, 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.800 all right, we got some breaking news from Philadelphia this morning. 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.320 We know, or do we know, who's gonna start at 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.480 quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Nick Sirianni announcing that it 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.560 appears that Gardner Minshew will be the starting quarterback. I 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.760 think if you were trying to pull a fast way, 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.160 you don't do it this way. It come out and 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.080 lie and you go, oh, do you know what? You know? 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:31.160 Maculate recovery right on the anniversary of the maculate reception tomorrow. 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:35.880 It is right, that's right, that's right. So yeah, it 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.840 looks like Minshew will start for the Eagles. I mean 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.680 that was just that was just logical, right. They've got 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.480 too much, you know, to put on the line to 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.600 play one game when you know you're in the playoffs 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.840 and you got the best record and all you gotta 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.960 do is win one more game, and you can't let 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.200 your emotions take over and go blow. We ain't losing 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.720 to them, boys. We're going to put our best players 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.800 out there. I think you have to be reasonable and 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:09.680 it sounds like they are. And um so Gardner Minshew, 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:18.560 who last started for the Eagles win uh two years 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.640 the Cowboys Cowboy game game of the season right last 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:29.240 last season? Yeah, that's right, six final score. Yeah, but 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.680 need I mean they didn't need to win that game, right. 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.440 They got into the playoffs with a nine and eight 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.480 record record, right, so they were they were already in 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.480 they were. I think they were resting up, guys, I 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:46.280 think as as I remember. So. Yeah, at least the 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.800 Cowboys will know where the quarterback is. He should be 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.079 in the pocket, and he's probably not running seventeen times 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:58.000 in the game, which will make it somewhat easier. But again, 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.040 that pass rush needs to get going somehow, some way. 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:08.199 Can't have go through having problems in at your cornerback 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:12.160 position and then have one sack in the past two games. 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:16.640 That's got to get better. And by the way, since 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.880 producer Supremus sent it to me, the Nashville Metro Council 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:24.160 approved the term sheet for a two point one billion 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:29.680 dollars domed Tennessee Titan Stadium. The step likely ensures that 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.760 the new stadium will be opened by twenty twenty six. 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.240 With a few final votes in the coming months. So 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:40.160 think about this. When the Cowboys built their new stadium 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.800 at and T that was two thousand and nine, which 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:48.080 when it opened, yes, and the price tag was over 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.040 two billion dollars. Everybody was just a gas. Now every 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.880 stadium that's built is more than two billion dollars, right, 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.240 They were just ahead of their time, and now the 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.480 Cowboys are one billion at the time. Well, I think 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.160 it got to two billion though it was a proof 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:10.319 and Jerry made investments that went beyond it. I think 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.719 it got up to one point five or something. I 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.400 don't think it hit two because the Metal Lands was 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.240 two and we're all like, man, they don't even have 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:23.280 a roof here or a big video board. So yeah, 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.360 it it climbed up there and everybody was a gas. Oh, 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.240 how could they spend that much money on a stadium. Well, 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:34.000 now that's what they cost and more and thirteen years 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.640 into it. That's when you make some improvements as well. 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.960 It's with technology and when you have a video board 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.680 like that, there's enhancements that you make. Yeah, you were 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.160 probably at two g back there. Now you got to 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.960 get to five years and it amazing how quickly time 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:54.280 flight thirteen years. Yeah, I know, I know, because the 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.959 stadium doesn't seem old right, No, because there's a lot 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.080 of stadiums out there that we're twenty years old and 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.120 they were time to get a new one. Right. Here's 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:07.520 the other thing is we're not affected by this cold 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.680 weather right now. But at Texas Stadium, when it got 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:16.040 to nineteen degrees, it felt like nineteen degrees in that place, 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:20.319 and the pipes froze. My famous story on that last 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.840 game of the eighty nine season when it got so 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.439 cold they had to shut down the bathrooms because the 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:31.000 pipes froze, and so they finished it off losing their 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.800 fifteenth game of the one in fifteen season, and my 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.280 esteemed colleague at the Times, Harold Frank luxA, said, yeah, 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.480 this season was so bad they couldn't even flush it 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:46.040 all the toilet. That's one of those where why did 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:52.360 I think of that? Right? That's why Luxo was luxA? Yeah, lots, Alexa. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.960 All right, bring me up to speed on what we know. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:03.120 After McCarthy addressed the media, Michael Parsons is back in 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.040 the building, so it looks like he's good to go 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.240 with whatever illness he had. And you know, darn well 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.680 that you know he was gonna play in this game. 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.120 Even though he came down with the illness early in 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:20.680 the week, he probably played through it on Sunday, so 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.880 that's good news. It sounds like that maybe Luke Gifford 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.800 will get some defensive snaps and not just be a 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:38.160 special teams player. We did find out that they're hopeful 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:43.839 that Jake Ferguson will clear the concussion protocol today, so 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.720 we'll see where where that goes. And I think we 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.160 talked about it earlier in the week. You know, he's 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.760 like their best blocking tight end, and I think they 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:56.800 missed him over these last critical plays. Yeah, some critical 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:03.720 critical plays, and then they are sorting through what they're 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.240 going to do at the cornerback position. I think we 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.920 talked about it yesterday and the day before as a 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.960 matter of fact, about hey Deron Bland's played the second 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:18.280 most snaps of active cornerbacks this season. Just put him 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:23.359 at left and I think you mentioned that McKenzie Alexander 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:27.720 has been a slot corner, so that seems to be 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.760 the easiest thing to do. We'll see what goes on 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:35.280 assuming that McKenzie Alexander is ramped up right yeah, well 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:40.600 he should be right. He's been playing all season, isn't. No, no, no, 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:46.880 And Alexander was actually with the Dolphins in the preseason. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.720 We signed late and then he injured his groin, went 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:55.640 on injured reserve, and then they he was released off 0:13:55.640 --> 0:14:00.160 injured reserve at the cutdown date basically, and so he 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.440 wasn't with a team. So he did have a groin 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.480 injury that he was coming back from and that's why 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.840 he was not with another team. And they would have 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.880 to elevate him practice squad, practice squad, if that's the 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.200 way they go, but they would have to elevate another 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:17.760 corner anyway to help out. And you know, Calvin Joseph, 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.280 and you know what, this might not be all that bad. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.920 I think they miss Kelvin Joseph on special teams and 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:28.680 so he'll probably go back to his regular job that 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.040 he's had there. So that's good to go. And then 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:37.560 I think t Y Hilton maybe maybe get some snaps. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.680 I'm not sure if it's this week, but I would 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.360 think for sure Thursday night in Tennessee. So we'll see 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.440 where if the ghost appears. As I found out it 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.480 was his nickname in Indianapolis, Oh Yeah, the ghost ghosts 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.760 because he said in one minute, I'm here and the 0:14:54.880 --> 0:15:00.320 next gone. I love his confidence. He's pretty funny fully. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.720 Um So yeah, So from a you know, roster standpoint, 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:10.480 and I would imagine they continue with Tyrn Smith at 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.200 right tackle. And my guess is there's no more rotation there. 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.560 He's he's in good. I mean, he played fifty four snaps, um, 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.920 so I would imagine he could play twenty more. Yeah, 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.000 and I think he's the guy there. And um, you know, 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.520 as as they continue to say it's great, you know, 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.080 unfortunately you lose Terrence Steele, but you're going to put 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:37.920 a gold jacket in there. And as we found out 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.960 from UH and we can talk about the Pro Bowlers, 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:47.200 but with Zach Martin being selected for his eighth time, 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:52.120 tying Tyrn Smith for the second most Pro Bowls by 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.640 a Cowboys offensive lineman, only Larry Allen with more with 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.960 ten um, that tells you the level that they would 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.760 have on the right side of that line, assuming Tyrant's 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.480 playing at his Pro Bowl former level. To have those 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.400 two guys next to each other, and as I said yesterday, 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.360 all I know it was quite a site to see 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:18.400 Tyrant and Zach pulling till their left together. Not a 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.920 good sign for the defensive end over there. All right, 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.360 let's get into the Pro Bowl stuff and much more 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.400 as we're just getting started here on Mick Shots, and 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.560 we'll have our picks to click coming up later in 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.400 the show as well, and Mick Shots continues in just 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.520 a moment.

Digging deep into the closet by the way, 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:45.359 I um, I saw Saint Nick last night, and I considered, uh, 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.320 making a visit to see him. There was too long 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.040 of a line. You know where I went last night? 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.560 Note I wasn't out here. He had become I guess 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:57.120 he had. He had, I guess been here. And then 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.720 he ventured over to the gay Lord, and I was, 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:01.919 we're at the gay Lord last night. We went to 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:05.879 ice at the gay Lord with what's that Chris?

It was very 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.120 it was it was it was nice, ice was nice, 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.560 and was called it was called it prepared for this 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:24.879 morning's wintry weather that came in. But two grandsons and 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:28.879 they enjoyed it. And but but I went over. It 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:33.360 brought back memories of our legend show or actually, yeah, 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:34.960 it was a legend show that we used to do 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.960 for several years there at the Gay Lord. And um, 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.680 and you know what, Santa Claus used to be still 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.160 the same spot there right in front of the restaurant 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.760 where we would do the legend show there. Ye at 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.080 the Gay Lord. There's there are sports. So if you're 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:53.760 coming into town, I highly recommend it. And um, you 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.159 have to have tickets. Um but um, you have to 0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:00.840 have tickets for everything in life. So uh but and 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.320 it was a good crowd of people there. But if 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.000 you're coming in go go out there and check it 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:10.640 out there and it's a it's a warm place to go. 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:12.840 I mean, that's that's a big thing. If you're coming 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:16.680 into town for the game, you know, you can park there. 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.200 There's a plenty of parking there. You go into Gay 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:23.440 Lord and you can spend the entire evening and enjoy it, 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:26.640 or you can it's like a city and it's in itself. 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.479 It's so big. You can come to the Star and 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:33.040 take a tour that. We're gonna see Santa across from 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.600 Ascension today. Actually the children are going over there. Very good, 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:41.000 so got in it before he left. Good good. You know, 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:44.600 Santa's got a very busy schedule coming up and not 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.400 dresses warm play well that he was booked on Saturday. 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.560 I heard, well, that's the problem. The problem for Santa 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.240 on Christmas when when you when when Christmas Day falls 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:59.119 on a Sunday and the NFL schedules how many games 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:03.480 are scheduled for or what twelve games scheduled on Saturday 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:08.000 Christmas Eve? And you're gonna starting tonight, Yeah, Jacksonville and 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:12.800 the Jets tonight, and there's three games actually there's a 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.960 game Monday night, and then there's three games on Sunday, right, 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:20.919 and then one game tonight. So eleven games on Saturday, 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.040 and you're going to see him if you watch every 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.560 single game on Saturday, you are going to see him 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.399 at every game, right, It's amazing how he gets round. 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:31.720 He gets around, boy. And then there's a Sunday there's 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.520 a Saturday night game that slays pretty fast, and so 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.480 he's gonna not gonna get done with that game until 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:40.399 what eleven o'clock, nearly midnight, and then he's got to 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:42.879 make his rounds. So what what what bills trying to 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:46.840 say for Saturday and Sunday? If relatives are coming over 0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:52.760 to the house, they better like football. That's right, that's right, 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:57.960 and stop all right? Seven Cowboys Pro bowlers and you 0:22:57.960 --> 0:22:59.760 want to run them down, I'll do it real quick. 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:01.920 I'm sure it's not a secret since it came out 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:04.720 last night about what seven o'clock. It's something like that. 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:10.680 Zack Martin, DeMarcus Lawrence, Treyvon Digs, CD Lamb, Micah Parsons, 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:16.560 Tony Pollard, Cavant Turpin. So you had three defensive players, 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.840 Parsons for the second time, dig second time, d law 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.560 for the third time in his career, three offensive players 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:27.320 as Mickey mentioned, Zach for the eighth time in his career, 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:30.640 CD for the second time, Tony Pollard for the first time, 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:35.439 Incavante Turpin for the first time as a rookie. And 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.240 you're specialists. You know a lot of times when these 0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:42.200 things happen in Cowboy gets selected and everybody's like Wow, 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:46.359 it's all those Cowboy fans voting. Well, the Cowboys did 0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:51.440 not get that many votes from the fans to propel 0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:56.199 them into the Pro Bowl. Parsons did, Martin did. That's it. 0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:59.920 They were the leaders, right yea. And so what took 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:05.120 place is the coach and player votes put these guys 0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:10.480 over the top, especially somebody like DeMarcus Lawrence who wasn't 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:13.240 at the top of the charts in sacks. And somebody 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:16.680 didn't just vote and say, well, there's the sack leaders. 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:18.280 I'm going to vote for that guy. That guy, and 0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:22.199 that guy shows the respect that coaches and players have 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.960 for d law and what he does is overall game right, 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:28.880 because if you look at you know, his numbers as 0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:33.120 a as a defensive end, he's been pretty darn good 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.520 against the run. He's got a lot of quarterback pressures, 0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:42.879 six sacks. So I think that somebody looked and recognized 0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:47.159 how well he was playing fifty fifty. I'll tell you what. 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:52.760 Fifty tackles for a defensive lineman is huge. If you 0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:56.160 look how well he's played against the run, has six 0:24:56.200 --> 0:25:00.280 tackles for loss and thirty six quarterback pressures along with 0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:04.879 two forced fumbles, two recovered fumbles and I believe one 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:08.639 of those was for a touchdown against the Rams. Was 0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:13.000 that right? So yeah, So the respect I think these 0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:17.399 players got from opponents was the reason why you know, 0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:21.399 everybody talks about you know, okay, Ceedee Lamb. But he 0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:24.600 wasn't top two or three in receptions in the league, 0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:27.400 but he was awfully good and he had big effects 0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:30.480 on games and so he got votes. Same thing with 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:34.640 Trayvon digs All. He's got his three interceptions, so it 0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:37.520 wasn't like everybody just looked at the interceptions and voted. 0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:42.080 They understand who was giving them problems. Same thing with 0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:47.360 Tony Pollard. Now he assuming he has a nice day 0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:50.080 on Saturday, he's going to have a thousand yards season 0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:55.440 as a basically shared position at running back, and his 0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:58.080 yards from scrimmage is up there among the league leaders 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:01.199 when you can count rushing yards and receiving yards. And 0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:04.800 then Kavante Turpin, for a guy to make the Pro 0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:09.040 Bowl without a return for a touchdown, it shows the 0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:13.960 respect that he has from coaches in this league and 0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:17.240 how they, from a special team standpoint, have had the 0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:21.280 game plan with Turpin on the field. And I was 0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:27.120 looking at those stats, and so he's seventh in kickoff returns, 0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:32.080
