Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number one, our one on this Wednesday,
September third, twenty twenty five. Ers, we like to say
the day before the National Football League makes its Galla return, then,
of course be tomorrow. But here in our number one.
How does Micah Parson's agent saying that he did everything
(00:24):
he could to remain a Cowboys sound to you?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Also?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Are you surprised the Cowboys were not worried about the
fallout of trading a popular player like Micah Parsons. And
there's more stories bouncing around the echo chamber that Micah's
behavior during Cowboy Camp rubbed people in the locker room
the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
How do you break that one down? We'll go there
as well.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Here it is our number one.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Some stinky cheese to start the night.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Welcome in beginning of another all night affair, the beginning
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
chewing the rag as we kick rocks into the night sky,
coast to coast, border the border in beyond. On the
(01:19):
mast and spectacularly powerful microphones of fs are am monating
live from the journey, the joyful journey through the late
night hours from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios.
That's approved by Jody the realtor. When you need realtor help,
Jody the realtor is there to help you. Absolutely, unless
(01:43):
that's well, probably is the case. And this portion of
the Ben Maler Jean Fox made possible part by our
friends at tire Rack. For over forty years, ti Iraq
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by
free row hazard protection. Mister nice guy signs off on
that with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, and
(02:07):
the Firk Dog likes to that because they can go
to his mom's house and they can put the tires
right there. Tire rack dot com the way tire buying
should be, says alf the Alien opiner. So our lead
this hour is from the frozen Tundra. It's not that cold,
not now. It'll get cold, not yet, come on, it's
(02:29):
early September. So the fallout though, continues from the trade
heard around the pig Skin whirld. And you know, I
love a good juicy story, and this continues to be
pretty good. Stories still got legs. It's been about a week.
The story still got legs. If you have not heard
the latest, perhaps not Micah Parsons. According to his agent,
(02:51):
Micah Parsons wanted to be a cowboy, and had he
not been traded to the Green bayfoot ball team, according
to the agent, Parsons would have played in the season
opener which is on Thursday night in Philadelphia, and they
would not have sat out that game. That according to
(03:12):
the Great David Mullaghetta, the in your face aging for
Micah Parsons now Moveagheda contended that parsons first choice was
always to remain in Dallas. How are you feeling in
Green Bay right now? You don't want to play for
your team? He wants to play for Cowboys? How how
does that make you feel? A quote from moveaged he said, quote,
(03:34):
I think the most important thing is Michaeh wanted to
be a cowboy. He grew up cheering for the Cowboys.
According to Molaghetta, he wore the blue and white at
Penn State ward in the NFL with the Cowboys. He
wanted to be a cowboy, and we did everything we
could for him to remain a cowboy. Close quote cowboy up.
(04:00):
So let us discuss the question how does Micah Parson's
agent saying he did everything he could do to remain
a cowboys sound?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
How does that sound? So my thoughts on this.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I've got a little doggie bag, We've got immunity and
the melting pot, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make some delicious
shredded chicken barbecue shredded chickens.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We're gonna make outstanding. So let's begin with this.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So David moule geta all right, he comes out here
like a whirling dervish, acting like the world's smartest man
while playing the world's smallest violin. That's the vibe I
got as I saw these quotes bouncing around the echo chamber,
just trumbling away at the world's smallest violin.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
It's a real sob story.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Real sad, my client, he wanted to be a cowboy,
he grew up a cowboy.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
As a little child, and he got to live his dream.
And now he's been sent to Siberia in northern Wisconsin.
So Sad, try to stay calm, right, try to stay calm.
Of course, we know, based on years of cynical talk radio,
that this is all nonsense.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It is pure d C, not DC comics. It is
damage control. This is known as saving face. This is
positioning Parsons as the what as the helpless defender in
distress the victim, because I guess we're getting a little
(05:46):
bit away from that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But to a boy, for a few years there was
a wallowing in victimhood. It was way to go. But
it's like Parsons the victim. Here is what it is, right.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You know Jerry Jones, you know Parsons, the helpless victim.
And then you got Jerry Jones over here, who's cast
as the bad guy with the big black stats and hat,
like every Western Texan bad guy, get that big black
stats and hat. And it's all, of course for what
it's for the court, not the kangaroo court, not the
(06:14):
real court, not the people's court. That would be the
kangaroo court. That is known as public opinion, so the
public court. A Classic Agent playbook, move on page seventeen,
section A of the playbook.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's not about football.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's not about that. This is about the Q, not Cubert.
That's an old video game. It's about Q rating, Madison, Avenue, endorsements,
all of that. You can't be the guy who forced
your way out of Dallas, because listen, you gotta sell
merch still in Texas, and the you know, the Cowboys
(06:58):
are a bit of a religit.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They're a bit of a religion.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So it's a Friday night lights on steroids, and the
lights usually get turned out on the Cowboys midseason. But
if you're the guy who turned your back and said
I don't want to play for the Dallas Cowboys, if
you're that guy, you are Judas. You are Judas. If
you do that, you're done in the Bible belt. They
(07:23):
will close the Bible and they will throw it at you,
is what they will do. So don't kid yourself. Now,
Parsons really wanted to stay in Dallas. If he really
wanted to stay in Dallas, guess what, he could have
worked it out. There was a path to stay with
the Cowboys because the agent didn't want to talk about
that because the agent would have been out. But in
the real world, the agent represents I've had an agent,
(07:45):
not a good one. I'm doing overnight still, but I
had an agent, all right, and this guy was a
total douche the agent that I had back.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And if Parsons wanted to stay with the cowboys. He
could have walked into Jerry Jones office or send him.
I'd say a text, but I don't know that Jerry text.
But call him right either call him go to Jerry's office.
Why did you show up to Jerry's office with a
nice doggie bag filled with barbecue brisket and a handshake?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Deal? Done?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Done, undone done, That's it, You're good. But no, instead
we got this guy move aget.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Of the agent.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And I don't know the guy personally, but my default position,
based on my experience with people who are agents, is
the agent is a puss filled sleeves bag until proven otherwise.
That's my default position on the agent. They're like those
mosquitoes buzzing around a Texas cattle ranch, you know, just.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Everywhere, and they.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Suck every last drop of blood out of you, is
what they do. So Parsons he goes from Jerry's world,
the billion dollar pigskin Kuff Cathedral with the biggest scoreboard,
the most beautiful cheerleaders were told, the flash, the giant
corn dogs, they got in text, all that stuff, and
(09:09):
he goes to Green Bay, now juxtaposed Dallas and green Bay,
Green Bay, Wisconsin, and I have a brother who lives there.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
God only knows when he moved there.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He didn't grow up there, he moved to the I mean,
who does that my brother, My younger brother moved in
the Green Bay area.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But anyway, having.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Been there and visited my younger brother, the nicest restaurant
is Culver's.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I love Culver's. I think it's a great restaurant. I
wish they would be an advertiser here at Fox Sports Trade.
I love in cheese kirts. I love the whole menu.
It's like the in and out of Midwest. But that's
the top location. Now, if you want nightlife in Green Bay,
you want to go out and party, get in some
trouble there, there's a couple spotted cows at the Veteran
of Foreign Wars Hall.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You can there's some shows over there, so you can
go to that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And that's fitting, right, and it's fitting And here's why,
because in Dallas, Micah Parsons was a star wearing a
star on the side of his helmet and all that.
And Wisconsin he's like a farm hen you ride the
bicycles with the kids, you're in training camp, you're out
there chopping wood.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
You got a chop wood.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
There's a lot of trees in northern Wisconsin, right, I
got shovel snow off the driveway and all that stuff.
It's the land of the cheese curd, the brat and
not a lot of glamor not the private jets. There
might not be enough room there for the private jets
and all that stuff and the biggest show. You go
(10:34):
from the biggest show in NFL football to the frozen
tundra and listen, listen. It's is a good football town.
Absolutely national fan base. Yes, is as big as the
Cowboys know. And it's gonna be tough, though. If you
want to sell, like I don't know, some products you
(10:55):
just can't sell in Green Bay. Like I don't think
hairjel sells. I don't think luxury cars. Well, in Green
Bay you can really get a killer deal with Johnsonville
Brotz though, So Micah Parsons can put on a get
in front of a grill and just get some Johnsonville
Brotz and he'll be good to go.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Now turning the page on that.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So the hour of the fallout, if you will, So
we own to Dallas. Now we are told the Cowboys
The latest reporting is the Cowboys were not worried. They
were not concerned about the public perception when they made
the decision to trade Micah Parsons. The report said that
the whispers that they were unconcerned.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
This is a quote from the report.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
They were unconcerned about the public relations fallout the team
with face given how popular Micah Parsons was with the fans.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
So are you surprised?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Are you surprised the Cowboys were not worried about the
fallout from trading a popular player.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Absolutely not. I know we've been over this, but.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
This is the latest stories we react to the news
of the day. This is Jerry Jones we're talking about, right,
And this is not your normal bucker Root.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
The buck doesn't just stop with Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones
is literally and figuratively the buck in Dallas, the oil bear,
and the Carnival Barker, the man of many hats, the
football overlord, all of that, and Jerry believes, and it's
hard to argue with him. Jerry believes that the Cowboys
(12:29):
are wrapped in teflon. There's a layer of teflon for
the Cowboys, their bullet proof. If they were a superhero,
they'd be kryptonite proof. And they have full immunity. The
Cowboys have full immunity to the torches and pitchforks of
angry fans.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
In fact, they welcome it. They welcome it.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
They've got some kind of force field around there in
the Death Star Jerry's world.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
They've got that, and he doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
If people boo orm or throw their cowboy hats right
into the dirt. We used to have this guy, Cowboy Dan.
I don't know if he's even still around. I hope
he is, but he used to call the show if
the Cowboys won. I love Cowboy Dan to call up
and say what happened to this trip?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But listen, here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Jerry's been living in his own reality for roughly thirty years,
and the situation is, no matter how mediocre, how low
can you go? And the Cowboys have gotten pretty low
at times. I noter how many years they go without
hoisting up the Lombardi Trophy. They're still there with a
license to print money, money, money, right money money, and
(13:41):
they haven't sniffed.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
A Super Bowl in a generation and a half.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
So to put that in some context for you, there
are young adults going to college right now. Some of
them call this show. I don't know why, but they do.
But they go to college right now. And they were
not even born the last time the Cowboys won a championship.
They're in college. Okay, that's and some of them have
(14:05):
guarady graduated from college. It's been that long, and yet
they're still the most valuable franchise in the NFL. It's
not even really that close. Because Jerry's got the tent,
he's got the big ten up there, and he's got
the popcorn machines going over to the left and over
to the right. The cheerleaders are dancing, they're shaking their
pom poms, and the people keep lining up to buy
(14:26):
tickets and the Cowboys. Again, we've been through this a bunch.
But for those that are new to the show, welcome
the Cowboys. Not really a football team, they're the NFL's veron.
I guess Disneyland would be a good comp like Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Very similar, overpriced, over hyped, always packed to the rafters,
very similar situation there. Disneyland and the Cowboys. Now, Dallas
could trade. I'm telling you, they could trade Dak Prescott.
Alreay traded Mike Martin, They could trade Dak Prescott. They
could bring back Quincy Carter and a line of coke
at quarterback, and people would still tune in, They would
(15:00):
still watch. In fact, they might watch even more to
see what happens, because the Cowboys are really selling an idea, right,
You're selling an idea is what you're selling. There, America's team,
the star, the big stadium, the big scoreboard. Jerry Jones
is over the top personality, all that stuff. Bad decisions
doesn't matter the brand. You ride for, the brand, the
(15:21):
code of the West. You ride for the brand. You
do what has to be done, and that's it. So
the way Jerry sees it, and a lot of people
in sports, the ugly truth is is that we can
trade anybody. We'll just spin it and we'll still sell
jerseys and we'll still own the headlines. And as long
as nobody has apathy, we're good. Now on that note,
final point, So the last part of this, these things
(15:45):
are all related. I mentioned the Cowboys are going to
spin it. Well, part of the spin job is going
on right now because there's more stories bouncing around the
echo chamber that say Michael Parson's behavior during training camp
rubbed people in the Cowboy locker room, in the cowboy
locker room the wrong way. So how do you see
(16:06):
this one? So you know what this is what's known
as low hanging fruit. And unfortunately I know how you
make the hot dogs. So once you learn how you
make the hot dogs, it changes your perspective on these stepistories.
Now you say, in the locker room, does that mean players?
Does that mean maybe one of the ball boys doesn't
like the fact that Michael Parsons was not very polite
(16:29):
to him at way. But the reason this low hanging
fruit is you've got a star player and you know
he's a little loud and big personality and all that stuff.
And now you've traded them, the players somewhat popular. Suddenly
everyone's brave enough after the trade whisper Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that guy was a douche. You know that guy was
(16:49):
a schmuck.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Spoiler alert.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
This is what happens in every locker room. It is
a melting pot. It's cheese fondue. It is a melting pot.
It's not one voice, it's not one truth. And you've got, uh,
you guys who grew up in the backwoods in the
South City, kids from the wrong you know, the wrong
part of town.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And maybe there's some Ivy League guys in there, some
dopes like me that went to a junior college.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Uh, some international players.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It's a stew. It is a stew of humanity. And
not everyone amazingly, just like your office, just like where
I work, not everyone is going to line up and
uh and be on the same the same page, right,
and not everyone's gonna vibe with each other.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
And so listen, Bikah Parsons is a spicy tuna role
tossed into a meat and potatoes situation. Uh. You know,
nothing is a universal truth across the board. There is
no you know, there's no Hey, this is the way
it is. Everyone agrees, there's never ever total agreement. And
(17:57):
it really just depends and this is a lot of
these story is in politics and sports go It really
just depends on the way the reporter wants to attack
the story. Right, if you wanted to write a story
that say, man Cowboy. Players loved Michael Parsons. He was
a great teammate. They loved the way that he played,
They loved his smile, they loved his personality, all of that.
(18:20):
You could write that story. There are people in the
Cowboy locker room that will tell you they loved Michael Parsons,
that they loved it right, And it just depends on
the agenator now saying, Hey, Parsons, I want to paint
Parsons as a problem child. And that's easy, Right, that's
easy and boom, that's your headline. And that's the thing
(18:42):
that works. Right, You're the whole media world is in
the click based world. You've got to get clicks on
that and saying the headline Micah Parsons, Right, Michael Parsons
loved by some teammates. You're not clicking on that. I'm
not clicking on that. Who cares, I'm not. It doesn't
move the needle. Does it not move? The needle doesn't sell.
(19:04):
You're in the business of selling. Nobody's scrolling saying, oh wow,
that looks good to me. Let me click on that.
Michael Parsons as friends video to eleven.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
You're not gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Like the sexy headline is teammates were rubbed the wrong way. Now,

Speaker 1 (31:14):
You beat you said, listen, I was gonna do all
those drugs. I wasn't gonna sell those drugs. What are
you talking about it?
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Because we had two houses on the same street, and
the police picked me up in front of the other house.
But we didn't do anything bad. I ran and I
didn't run.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
So yeah, you know, that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I can't run because I literally can't run, so I
wouldn't go an all right, Uh, well, what do you
call about Alex?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Though, congratulations on beating the system. Good job by you.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Alex definitely sold it, definitely beat it. But look, Michael Parkson's,
oh my god, once you start acting like a baby.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
In a teeing on the camera and laying down.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
I'm a Dihard Cowboys fans in the first grade.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
I'm thirty seven now.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, and once I saw that, I was like, oh God,
get him out of here.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Who cares about it?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
So you were seven, you were a little child when
the Cowboys won. You do remember, well, you were were
old enough. There's seven you should remember, right when you
were seven.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
My brother was a diehard Niners fan and my team
was playing his, and I believe my first memory was
when they were playing in the playoffs, the Niners the Cowboys.
Became a fan.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
All right, I got you, I got you. But you
do know like that the way the game play is played, Alex.
I mean, you know, Michael Parsons was doing that because
he thought that was going to get him the contract
with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
He instead it got him traded.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
But he thought he was gonna he was gonna get
a deal based on just acting like a douche and
they would give him a contract.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Yeah, And that's not how it worked out at all.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
And I wanted him to say, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
But you know what, he's injury throne here and I've
seen him get pushed around a few times and uh, hey.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
And also in big games, you know this, Alex. Remember
the playoff game against the Packers. Ironically, he did nothing
in the first half of that game. They got smoked
and he did nothing to stop Jordan Love and the
Green Bay offense. He was terrible.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
And that's and that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
If you're not if we're not winning, hey, we're going
to keep moving stuff around, hopefully until we figured it out.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
All right, Well, listen, thank you for congratulations, Cad.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I agree with you. I was a catch and that
was a guest. That was just the packers also, wasn't it?
I think that was?
Speaker 9 (33:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
All right, all right, all right, thank you. There's Alex
Well a big night man cried bigger, better sentences.

average annual pay as a non quarterback back to back seasons.

the play of the night. So you go to a
baseball game, and uh, well, you go to a fight
(35:34):
and a baseball game breaks out. So let's go to
a couple of teams plan.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Out the string.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
The Colorado Rockies, baseball's worst team, taking on the Higante's,
the Giants, who have been pretty bad after a good start.
They got together, played a little baseball and Rafiel Devers
hit a home run and then all hell broke clues.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Take a listen through to.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Win tonight and there'll be a BUZ five their five
games out of the final wildcard spot. Devers Sky's wanted
to right way up there and gone another one for
Raffi Devers.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Oh oh, and Kyle Freeland.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
The benches are clearing, Devers is trying to round the bases,
Freeland is unhappy, and now we got punches being thrown.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Round to the bases. Yeah, so what happened? That was
on the NBC Sports Bay Area call. So the Giants
and Rockies devs batting against the veteran Kyle Freeland and Devors.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
As you heard, he hit a home run there and.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Devers he wanted to enjoy his work. He would like
to observe how great his performance is. Devers. You know
one thing Devers loves more than anything is Rafael Devers.
And so he was trying to.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Celebrate and freeland the unwritten rules of the game and
not like that, And there you go.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
That is the tire Iraq play of the night. For
over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive
ship fast end freeback by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot
com the way tire buying should be. And because Baseball
keeps adding wildcard teams. The Giants are not a good
(37:22):
baseball team. They're one game over five hundred, but they
have the illusion of contention because of the wild card.
They have added enough wildcard teams where even mediocre run
of the mill teams like the San Francisco Giants think
they have a chance in early September, even though they
would be the definition of a jat just a team,
(37:43):
that's all. They are nothing special, and yet they mathematically
have a chance.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Time now for the payoff on the who am I?
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Game?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Green Bays Micah Parsons the NFL's highest paid non quarterback
in twenty twenty five. Now I was the last player
in that category among non quarterbacks to lead the NFL
and average annual pay back to back seasons. Who Well,

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Khalil Mack, Khalil Mack,
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number one, our one on this Wednesday,
September third, twenty twenty five. Ers, we like to say
the day before the National Football League makes its Galla return, then,
of course be tomorrow. But here in our number one.
How does Micah Parson's agent saying that he did everything
(00:24):
he could to remain a Cowboys sound to you?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Also?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Are you surprised the Cowboys were not worried about the
fallout of trading a popular player like Micah Parsons. And
there's more stories bouncing around the echo chamber that Micah's
behavior during Cowboy Camp rubbed people in the locker room
the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
How do you break that one down? We'll go there
as well.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Here it is our number one.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Some stinky cheese to start the night.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Welcome in beginning of another all night affair, the beginning
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
chewing the rag as we kick rocks into the night sky,
coast to coast, border the border in beyond. On the
(01:19):
mast and spectacularly powerful microphones of fs are am monating
live from the journey, the joyful journey through the late
night hours from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios.
That's approved by Jody the realtor. When you need realtor help,
Jody the realtor is there to help you. Absolutely, unless
(01:43):
that's well, probably is the case. And this portion of
the Ben Maler Jean Fox made possible part by our
friends at tire Rack. For over forty years, ti Iraq
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by
free row hazard protection. Mister nice guy signs off on
that with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, and
(02:07):
the Firk Dog likes to that because they can go
to his mom's house and they can put the tires
right there. Tire rack dot com the way tire buying
should be, says alf the Alien opiner. So our lead
this hour is from the frozen Tundra. It's not that cold,
not now. It'll get cold, not yet, come on, it's
(02:29):
early September. So the fallout though, continues from the trade
heard around the pig Skin whirld. And you know, I
love a good juicy story, and this continues to be
pretty good. Stories still got legs. It's been about a week.
The story still got legs. If you have not heard
the latest, perhaps not Micah Parsons. According to his agent,
(02:51):
Micah Parsons wanted to be a cowboy, and had he
not been traded to the Green bayfoot ball team, according
to the agent, Parsons would have played in the season
opener which is on Thursday night in Philadelphia, and they
would not have sat out that game. That according to
(03:12):
the Great David Mullaghetta, the in your face aging for
Micah Parsons now Moveagheda contended that parsons first choice was
always to remain in Dallas. How are you feeling in
Green Bay right now? You don't want to play for
your team? He wants to play for Cowboys? How how
does that make you feel? A quote from moveaged he said, quote,
(03:34):
I think the most important thing is Michaeh wanted to
be a cowboy. He grew up cheering for the Cowboys.
According to Molaghetta, he wore the blue and white at
Penn State ward in the NFL with the Cowboys. He
wanted to be a cowboy, and we did everything we
could for him to remain a cowboy. Close quote cowboy up.
(04:00):
So let us discuss the question how does Micah Parson's
agent saying he did everything he could do to remain
a cowboys sound?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
How does that sound? So my thoughts on this.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I've got a little doggie bag, We've got immunity and
the melting pot, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make some delicious
shredded chicken barbecue shredded chickens.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We're gonna make outstanding. So let's begin with this.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So David moule geta all right, he comes out here
like a whirling dervish, acting like the world's smartest man
while playing the world's smallest violin. That's the vibe I
got as I saw these quotes bouncing around the echo chamber,
just trumbling away at the world's smallest violin.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
It's a real sob story.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Real sad, my client, he wanted to be a cowboy,
he grew up a cowboy.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
As a little child, and he got to live his dream.
And now he's been sent to Siberia in northern Wisconsin.
So Sad, try to stay calm, right, try to stay calm.
Of course, we know, based on years of cynical talk radio,
that this is all nonsense.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It is pure d C, not DC comics. It is
damage control. This is known as saving face. This is
positioning Parsons as the what as the helpless defender in
distress the victim, because I guess we're getting a little
(05:46):
bit away from that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But to a boy, for a few years there was
a wallowing in victimhood. It was way to go. But
it's like Parsons the victim. Here is what it is, right.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You know Jerry Jones, you know Parsons, the helpless victim.
And then you got Jerry Jones over here, who's cast
as the bad guy with the big black stats and hat,
like every Western Texan bad guy, get that big black
stats and hat. And it's all, of course for what
it's for the court, not the kangaroo court, not the
(06:14):
real court, not the people's court. That would be the
kangaroo court. That is known as public opinion, so the
public court. A Classic Agent playbook, move on page seventeen,
section A of the playbook.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's not about football.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's not about that. This is about the Q, not Cubert.
That's an old video game. It's about Q rating, Madison, Avenue, endorsements,
all of that. You can't be the guy who forced
your way out of Dallas, because listen, you gotta sell
merch still in Texas, and the you know, the Cowboys
(06:58):
are a bit of a religit.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They're a bit of a religion.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So it's a Friday night lights on steroids, and the
lights usually get turned out on the Cowboys midseason. But
if you're the guy who turned your back and said
I don't want to play for the Dallas Cowboys, if
you're that guy, you are Judas. You are Judas. If
you do that, you're done in the Bible belt. They
(07:23):
will close the Bible and they will throw it at you,
is what they will do. So don't kid yourself. Now,
Parsons really wanted to stay in Dallas. If he really
wanted to stay in Dallas, guess what, he could have
worked it out. There was a path to stay with
the Cowboys because the agent didn't want to talk about
that because the agent would have been out. But in
the real world, the agent represents I've had an agent,
(07:45):
not a good one. I'm doing overnight still, but I
had an agent, all right, and this guy was a
total douche the agent that I had back.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And if Parsons wanted to stay with the cowboys. He
could have walked into Jerry Jones office or send him.
I'd say a text, but I don't know that Jerry text.
But call him right either call him go to Jerry's office.
Why did you show up to Jerry's office with a
nice doggie bag filled with barbecue brisket and a handshake?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Deal? Done?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Done, undone done, That's it, You're good. But no, instead
we got this guy move aget.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Of the agent.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And I don't know the guy personally, but my default position,
based on my experience with people who are agents, is
the agent is a puss filled sleeves bag until proven otherwise.
That's my default position on the agent. They're like those
mosquitoes buzzing around a Texas cattle ranch, you know, just.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Everywhere, and they.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Suck every last drop of blood out of you, is
what they do. So Parsons he goes from Jerry's world,
the billion dollar pigskin Kuff Cathedral with the biggest scoreboard,
the most beautiful cheerleaders were told, the flash, the giant
corn dogs, they got in text, all that stuff, and
(09:09):
he goes to Green Bay, now juxtaposed Dallas and green Bay,
Green Bay, Wisconsin, and I have a brother who lives there.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
God only knows when he moved there.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He didn't grow up there, he moved to the I mean,
who does that my brother, My younger brother moved in
the Green Bay area.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But anyway, having.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Been there and visited my younger brother, the nicest restaurant
is Culver's.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I love Culver's. I think it's a great restaurant. I
wish they would be an advertiser here at Fox Sports Trade.
I love in cheese kirts. I love the whole menu.
It's like the in and out of Midwest. But that's
the top location. Now, if you want nightlife in Green Bay,
you want to go out and party, get in some
trouble there, there's a couple spotted cows at the Veteran
of Foreign Wars Hall.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You can there's some shows over there, so you can
go to that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And that's fitting, right, and it's fitting And here's why,
because in Dallas, Micah Parsons was a star wearing a
star on the side of his helmet and all that.
And Wisconsin he's like a farm hen you ride the
bicycles with the kids, you're in training camp, you're out
there chopping wood.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
You got a chop wood.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
There's a lot of trees in northern Wisconsin, right, I
got shovel snow off the driveway and all that stuff.
It's the land of the cheese curd, the brat and
not a lot of glamor not the private jets. There
might not be enough room there for the private jets
and all that stuff and the biggest show. You go
(10:34):
from the biggest show in NFL football to the frozen
tundra and listen, listen. It's is a good football town.
Absolutely national fan base. Yes, is as big as the
Cowboys know. And it's gonna be tough, though. If you
want to sell, like I don't know, some products you
(10:55):
just can't sell in Green Bay. Like I don't think
hairjel sells. I don't think luxury cars. Well, in Green
Bay you can really get a killer deal with Johnsonville
Brotz though, So Micah Parsons can put on a get
in front of a grill and just get some Johnsonville
Brotz and he'll be good to go.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Now turning the page on that.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So the hour of the fallout, if you will, So
we own to Dallas. Now we are told the Cowboys
The latest reporting is the Cowboys were not worried. They
were not concerned about the public perception when they made
the decision to trade Micah Parsons. The report said that
the whispers that they were unconcerned.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
This is a quote from the report.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
They were unconcerned about the public relations fallout the team
with face given how popular Micah Parsons was with the fans.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
So are you surprised?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Are you surprised the Cowboys were not worried about the
fallout from trading a popular player.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Absolutely not. I know we've been over this, but.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
This is the latest stories we react to the news
of the day. This is Jerry Jones we're talking about, right,
And this is not your normal bucker Root.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
The buck doesn't just stop with Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones
is literally and figuratively the buck in Dallas, the oil bear,
and the Carnival Barker, the man of many hats, the
football overlord, all of that, and Jerry believes, and it's
hard to argue with him. Jerry believes that the Cowboys
(12:29):
are wrapped in teflon. There's a layer of teflon for
the Cowboys, their bullet proof. If they were a superhero,
they'd be kryptonite proof. And they have full immunity. The
Cowboys have full immunity to the torches and pitchforks of
angry fans.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
In fact, they welcome it. They welcome it.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
They've got some kind of force field around there in
the Death Star Jerry's world.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
They've got that, and he doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
If people boo orm or throw their cowboy hats right
into the dirt. We used to have this guy, Cowboy Dan.
I don't know if he's even still around. I hope
he is, but he used to call the show if
the Cowboys won. I love Cowboy Dan to call up
and say what happened to this trip?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But listen, here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Jerry's been living in his own reality for roughly thirty years,
and the situation is, no matter how mediocre, how low
can you go? And the Cowboys have gotten pretty low
at times. I noter how many years they go without
hoisting up the Lombardi Trophy. They're still there with a
license to print money, money, money, right money money, and
(13:41):
they haven't sniffed.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
A Super Bowl in a generation and a half.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
So to put that in some context for you, there
are young adults going to college right now. Some of
them call this show. I don't know why, but they do.
But they go to college right now. And they were
not even born the last time the Cowboys won a championship.
They're in college. Okay, that's and some of them have
(14:05):
guarady graduated from college. It's been that long, and yet
they're still the most valuable franchise in the NFL. It's
not even really that close. Because Jerry's got the tent,
he's got the big ten up there, and he's got
the popcorn machines going over to the left and over
to the right. The cheerleaders are dancing, they're shaking their
pom poms, and the people keep lining up to buy
(14:26):
tickets and the Cowboys. Again, we've been through this a bunch.
But for those that are new to the show, welcome
the Cowboys. Not really a football team, they're the NFL's veron.
I guess Disneyland would be a good comp like Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Very similar, overpriced, over hyped, always packed to the rafters,
very similar situation there. Disneyland and the Cowboys. Now, Dallas
could trade. I'm telling you, they could trade Dak Prescott.
Alreay traded Mike Martin, They could trade Dak Prescott. They
could bring back Quincy Carter and a line of coke
at quarterback, and people would still tune in, They would
(15:00):
still watch. In fact, they might watch even more to
see what happens, because the Cowboys are really selling an idea, right,
You're selling an idea is what you're selling. There, America's team,
the star, the big stadium, the big scoreboard. Jerry Jones
is over the top personality, all that stuff. Bad decisions
doesn't matter the brand. You ride for, the brand, the
(15:21):
code of the West. You ride for the brand. You
do what has to be done, and that's it. So
the way Jerry sees it, and a lot of people
in sports, the ugly truth is is that we can
trade anybody. We'll just spin it and we'll still sell
jerseys and we'll still own the headlines. And as long
as nobody has apathy, we're good. Now on that note,
final point, So the last part of this, these things
(15:45):
are all related. I mentioned the Cowboys are going to
spin it. Well, part of the spin job is going
on right now because there's more stories bouncing around the
echo chamber that say Michael Parson's behavior during training camp
rubbed people in the Cowboy locker room, in the cowboy
locker room the wrong way. So how do you see
(16:06):
this one? So you know what this is what's known
as low hanging fruit. And unfortunately I know how you
make the hot dogs. So once you learn how you
make the hot dogs, it changes your perspective on these stepistories.
Now you say, in the locker room, does that mean players?
Does that mean maybe one of the ball boys doesn't
like the fact that Michael Parsons was not very polite
(16:29):
to him at way. But the reason this low hanging
fruit is you've got a star player and you know
he's a little loud and big personality and all that stuff.
And now you've traded them, the players somewhat popular. Suddenly
everyone's brave enough after the trade whisper Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that guy was a douche. You know that guy was
(16:49):
a schmuck.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Spoiler alert.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
This is what happens in every locker room. It is
a melting pot. It's cheese fondue. It is a melting pot.
It's not one voice, it's not one truth. And you've got, uh,
you guys who grew up in the backwoods in the
South City, kids from the wrong you know, the wrong
part of town.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And maybe there's some Ivy League guys in there, some
dopes like me that went to a junior college.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Uh, some international players.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It's a stew. It is a stew of humanity. And
not everyone amazingly, just like your office, just like where
I work, not everyone is going to line up and
uh and be on the same the same page, right,
and not everyone's gonna vibe with each other.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
And so listen, Bikah Parsons is a spicy tuna role
tossed into a meat and potatoes situation. Uh. You know,
nothing is a universal truth across the board. There is
no you know, there's no Hey, this is the way
it is. Everyone agrees, there's never ever total agreement. And
(17:57):
it really just depends and this is a lot of
these story is in politics and sports go It really
just depends on the way the reporter wants to attack
the story. Right, if you wanted to write a story
that say, man Cowboy. Players loved Michael Parsons. He was
a great teammate. They loved the way that he played,
They loved his smile, they loved his personality, all of that.
(18:20):
You could write that story. There are people in the
Cowboy locker room that will tell you they loved Michael Parsons,
that they loved it right, And it just depends on
the agenator now saying, Hey, Parsons, I want to paint
Parsons as a problem child. And that's easy, Right, that's
easy and boom, that's your headline. And that's the thing
(18:42):
that works. Right, You're the whole media world is in
the click based world. You've got to get clicks on
that and saying the headline Micah Parsons, Right, Michael Parsons
loved by some teammates. You're not clicking on that. I'm
not clicking on that. Who cares, I'm not. It doesn't
move the needle. Does it not move? The needle doesn't sell.
(19:04):
You're in the business of selling. Nobody's scrolling saying, oh wow,
that looks good to me. Let me click on that.
Michael Parsons as friends video to eleven.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
You're not gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Like the sexy headline is teammates were rubbed the wrong way. Now,
that's got some sizzle. That's got a little bit of sizzle.

not have a criminal record. Are you homeless, Alex, Lord,

a case, I got it, I beat it. I went
to the court.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You beat Look at that, you beat the man, You

Let's let's try to guess what was he charged? This
is gonna be the crime out. Everyone has been charged
with a crime. Call up right now, eight seven seven
ninety nine of all right, Alex in you're in Guardina,
I'm gonna say you were charged.
Speaker 1 (30:31):

had disorderly conduct last time, an assault. I'm gonna go theft,
petty theft. Oh you think he's like one of my
whimp go ahead, this.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
One's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Public indecency, public indecent exposure, pug your pants down?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
All right, Cooper, what do you think over there?
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Coop?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Possession with intent to distribute? Oh, that's a big one.
That's a big one, you know, Guardian. All right, what's
the answer?
Speaker 6 (31:02):
It was possession?
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Yeah, whoa, whoa, congratulations, cool, you get to get you
the People's Court's gonna hire you, and you beat them.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You beat you said, listen, I was gonna do all
those drugs. I wasn't gonna sell those drugs. What are
you talking about it?
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Because we had two houses on the same street, and
the police picked me up in front of the other house.
But we didn't do anything bad. I ran and I
didn't run.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
So yeah, you know, that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I can't run because I literally can't run, so I
wouldn't go an all right, Uh, well, what do you
call about Alex?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Though, congratulations on beating the system. Good job by you.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Alex definitely sold it, definitely beat it. But look, Michael Parkson's,
oh my god, once you start acting like a baby.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
In a teeing on the camera and laying down.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
I'm a Dihard Cowboys fans in the first grade.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
I'm thirty seven now.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, and once I saw that, I was like, oh God,
get him out of here.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Who cares about it?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
So you were seven, you were a little child when
the Cowboys won. You do remember, well, you were were
old enough. There's seven you should remember, right when you
were seven.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
My brother was a diehard Niners fan and my team
was playing his, and I believe my first memory was
when they were playing in the playoffs, the Niners the Cowboys.
Became a fan.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
All right, I got you, I got you. But you
do know like that the way the game play is played, Alex.
I mean, you know, Michael Parsons was doing that because
he thought that was going to get him the contract
with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
He instead it got him traded.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
But he thought he was gonna he was gonna get
a deal based on just acting like a douche and
they would give him a contract.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Yeah, And that's not how it worked out at all.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
And I wanted him to say, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
But you know what, he's injury throne here and I've
seen him get pushed around a few times and uh, hey.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
And also in big games, you know this, Alex. Remember
the playoff game against the Packers. Ironically, he did nothing
in the first half of that game. They got smoked
and he did nothing to stop Jordan Love and the
Green Bay offense. He was terrible.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
And that's and that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
If you're not if we're not winning, hey, we're going
to keep moving stuff around, hopefully until we figured it out.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
All right, Well, listen, thank you for congratulations, Cad.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I agree with you. I was a catch and that
was a guest. That was just the packers also, wasn't it?
I think that was?
Speaker 9 (33:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
All right, all right, all right, thank you. There's Alex

last player in this category to lead the NFL in
average annual pay as a non quarterback back to back seasons.

the who am I game in a minute, But first
the play of the night. So you go to a
baseball game, and uh, well, you go to a fight
(35:34):
and a baseball game breaks out. So let's go to
a couple of teams plan.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Out the string.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
The Colorado Rockies, baseball's worst team, taking on the Higante's,
the Giants, who have been pretty bad after a good start.
They got together, played a little baseball and Rafiel Devers
hit a home run and then all hell broke clues.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Take a listen through to.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Win tonight and there'll be a BUZ five their five
games out of the final wildcard spot. Devers Sky's wanted
to right way up there and gone another one for
Raffi Devers.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Oh oh, and Kyle Freeland.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
The benches are clearing, Devers is trying to round the bases,
Freeland is unhappy, and now we got punches being thrown.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Round to the bases. Yeah, so what happened? That was
on the NBC Sports Bay Area call. So the Giants
and Rockies devs batting against the veteran Kyle Freeland and Devors.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
As you heard, he hit a home run there and.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Devers he wanted to enjoy his work. He would like
to observe how great his performance is. Devers. You know
one thing Devers loves more than anything is Rafael Devers.
And so he was trying to.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Celebrate and freeland the unwritten rules of the game and
not like that, And there you go.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
That is the tire Iraq play of the night. For
over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive
ship fast end freeback by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot
com the way tire buying should be. And because Baseball
keeps adding wildcard teams. The Giants are not a good
(37:22):
baseball team. They're one game over five hundred, but they
have the illusion of contention because of the wild card.
They have added enough wildcard teams where even mediocre run
of the mill teams like the San Francisco Giants think
they have a chance in early September, even though they
would be the definition of a jat just a team,
(37:43):
that's all. They are nothing special, and yet they mathematically
have a chance.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Time now for the payoff on the who am I?
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Game?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
