That's express pros dot com. So our lead this hour
is from a follow up follow up to previous mal

(03:08):
monologues we talked about earlier this week, and it turns
out that the wisdom, the knowledge that we give on
overnight talk radio is forgotten by those people that work
the dreaded day shift. So we'll start out in Jerry's world.
The Cowboys owner Jerry Jones with the hand sign language
that we all know. We loved it, man, This was

(03:29):
great amazing. We talked about this the other day. He
was given the business to some Jets fans. Well, Jerry
has been punished by the National Football League for his
Bronx salute. And if you did not hear about this,
maybe you didn't see it. Possibly not. We learned that
Jerry Jones was fined two one hundred and fifty thousand

(03:53):
dollars by the National Football League for he what he
claims is an inadvertant, inavert obscene gesture towards fans at
MetLife Stadium there in Jersey. The Cowboys are likely to appeal.
They have until Friday. They're going to appeal. It's on video,
but they're going to appeal. Video went viral Jones flashing

(04:15):
the number one sign, the universal sign for we really
like you or we really hate you, the middle finger.
That was late in the Cowboys win, after they had
scored a touchdown over the Jets. Which Jerry has his
weekly radio show, because why not in Dallas. I think
he goes on there twice during the week. But anyway,
here's Jerry Jones on local Dallas radio. There the Jerry

(04:38):
Jones radio show, who was commenting about the bird tayway.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
You know, I was unfortunate. That was an exchange with
our fans out in front of us. There was a
swarm of cowboy fans hat in front. That was in
burton on my part because that was right after we
made our last touchdowns and we were all excited about
There wasn't any antagonistic issue or anything like that. I

(05:07):
just put up the wrong show on the hand. But
that was inadvertently, and I'm not kidding it was. If
you want to call it accidentally, we can call it accidental.
But he got straight around pretty quick. I've had a
chance to look at it. Got straightened around pretty quick.
But the intention was thumbs up and then basically pointing
at our fans because everybody was jumping up and down excited.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Okay, so we we even the blind people's like inca
terrorI saw it. He's blind. He saw it all. We also,
I think Stevie Meatball is blind. He saw it. We all.
He said it was unfortunate and inadvertent, claimed he was
trying to give a thumbs up. All right, So now

(05:53):
the thumb. See to get from the thumb to the
middle finger, there's a there's a pointer finger. And see
you got to jump over that to get to the
middle finger. So you got to see you gotta go
over that to get to the middle. Assuming you have
all your all your fingers, let us discuss the question
what do you make of Jerry Jones claiming the bird

(06:14):
was inadvertent? An inadvertent bird, unfortunate and inadvertent. So I've
got Sesame Street, Mike Lindell, and Walmart and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a batting helmet, because there is a batting helmet,

(06:35):
a Major League Baseball batting helmet in the studio. And
we should point out the Yankee stand Alive. Well beg's
for the Yankee stand Alive. They beat the Blue ja
Blue Jees were five runs last night and end up
losing him. And also Seattle's all went away. But as
far as the Jerry Jones story, what do you make
of Jerry Jones claiming the bird was inadvertent and all that?

(06:56):
So we talked about a lot in politics, there's some
terminology when you say the opposite happened. It's called gas lighting.
It's called gas lighting and all that. So, even by
Jerry Jones standards, and we've been here for many many years,
for decades, believe it or not, yeapping about Jerry Jones.

(07:18):
Even by his standards, the inadvertent thumbs up excuse is
in all time. But that is a humdinger, humbaby. He
essentially said, well, I meant to be nice. I wanted
to be nice, but my finger had other ideas. It
just did. And I say the same thing when someone
cuts me off on the on the highway, I say

(07:39):
the same thing. I meant to be nice, and it's
just my fingers, you know. So Jerry, what he's doing here,
he's playing the AA RP discount card from the bottom
of the deck, is what he's doing here. That's an
extra helping is my late great grandfather would say, if
hutzpat as well, we're talking a full extension of the

(08:03):
middle finger. That is a text book. If you look
at that textbook, the textbook on a middle finger, that's
exactly the rain is just giving me the bird, that's right.
I mean, he looked like he was hailing a cab
in midtown Manhattan. He wanted the number one cab. And
it turns out Jerry's actually older than the show Sesame Street.

(08:27):
But in many ways, Jerry loves the show Sesame Street,
and he loves Big Bird. That's the big burd right,
that's the mixed in with Oscar the Grouch, the Jets fan.
And it wasn't shy about it. Like I watched the
video many many times. He did realize somebody had the
cell phone camera going, and at that point he pivoted

(08:48):
and he went to the old mid bird correction. You
ever done the mid bird correction? Yeah, you're the mid
bird correction. So claiming it's inadvertent, he's so great, and
he meant to do the thumbs up to Cowboy fans,
that is, are there a group of people that are
like on the spectrum that believe this? By the way,

(09:10):
there's I mean there must be right. We do broadcasting,
not narrow casting. So unsolicited overnight talk radio advice. Jerry
Jones should have just said, hey, ist it. I was
making an audition tape. I did not mean any harm.
And even though I owned the Cowboys and I'm worth
a gazillion dollars and all that, I was trying to

(09:31):
get my audition tape because I really want to be
a conductor of the New York Philharmonic, and so I
was just being a conductor, and you have to use
your hands, and it's a lot of movement and gyrations
with your hands. And on. Now Bud Adams famous story
if you're old enough to remember this guy, but Adam,
he's dead now. But but Adams owned the Tennessee Titans and
way back, My god, has it been sixteen years. Holy crap,

(09:53):
I remember doing monologues on this. But butd Adams he
was so upset the fans in Nashville were giving him
the business, and he snapped and he gave the double bird,
not one bird, double bird. Missus and mister Bird side
by side right there they had little bird babies, little
mini birds, just like that. And so the price was

(10:14):
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the double bird,
the double bird. That was back in nine And so
if you do the inflation calculation, so Jerry he did
one bird, one bird. And you said, well, Bud Adams,

(10:34):
he was fined one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
per bird. Jerry one bird, two hundred fifty thousand. Now,
if you do the malor math, the net worth of
Jerry Jones is estimated according to the Interweb nineteen billion,
nineteen point three billion. So we did some malor math
on this. So if you find Jerry Jones the two

(10:55):
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, that is zero point zero
zero one three percent of Jerry Jones money. In fact,
when Jerry Jones took a bowel movement after the announcement
came out while he was sitting on the throne before
he wiped, he had made that money back. So it's like,

(11:18):
what are we doing here? And he's go oh, I'm
gonna maybe a po and he had to just send
the money to the NFL. Say I just you know,
he keep the change, Roger, he'll give you a million.
I don't need I don't need the money. I can't
take it with me. And the other thing about Jerry
would anyone doubt whether or not Jerry Jones say I
got an idea. Why don't we take the letter I
got from the NFL announcing mister Jones, you've been fine

(11:42):
for giving the middle finger there, and we'll copy it.
We'll make a limited edition. We'll put it on the
in the Cowboys gift shop in Jerry's world in the
Death Star, and we'll title it the Great middle Finger
Game of twenty twenty five. It'll be a limited edition
collectible and we'll only have five hundred of them made

(12:02):
for a nominal fee of three hundred dollars. And that's it.
You can buy only on the Cowboys Gift Shop. And
that's all. And you know, Jerry's fine. We were not
worried about Jerry. I love the fact that he's either
lying or he's so seen now that might have actually happened.
I'm going with the ladder that he's lying. And why not.

(12:22):
If you're rich, that's why you want to be rich.
You can just give the bird to whoever you want,
who cares. Remember the movie The Wolf of Wall Street,
pretty good movie, like one of the last good movies,
a Wolf of wall Street. And they had a line
in there and he's like, fun coupons. That's a fun coupon.
He gave a Jets fan the bird. He claims it
was a Cowboy fan, but I don't believe that. I
think it was a Jets fan. He give him the bird.

(12:44):
That's a fun coupon. Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, all right. Now.
Secondly to Arizona, we go a theme this hour, Theme
this hour, So the Cardinals we gave them advice. We said,
don't find this, don't punish. Jonathan Gaet didn't come on, well,
he's been fined one hundred thousand dollars for this Dodo bird.

(13:08):
Jonathan ganh he didn't give anybody the middle finger. He
did not. There was a sideline altercation with numb Nuts,
his running back Amari de Mercado, who was rumbling and stumbling.
Remember he's the guy that the numb nuts who dropped
the ball before he crossed the goal line after this
majestic seventy two yard run right up the gut of

(13:30):
the Titans defense, and that helped fuel Tennessee to come
back and win the game. Of course, we talked about
the video if you were not listening in a previous
edition of the show. The video for those of you
that are blind. Gannon walked over to de Mercado, who
was being consoled by one of his offensive linemen, got

(13:50):
into the running backs face like, maybe, hey, you fed up,
you efing loser fu something along those lines. He continued
to gyrate and b rate the Cardinals running back and
then walked away. And as he was walking away from
de Mercado, the running back, the Arizona coach appeared to
make contact. Oh my god, Oh my god, personal space

(14:14):
social test that tag just like that got all all
worked up. And so then he apologized and it was
very embarrassing the apology. We just felt sad for him.
The whole thing was just the walk of shames. Like
somebody said, you better apologize. Okay, I'll apologize. I'll be
a grobbling loser and apologize, all right. So question should

(14:37):
the Cardinals, this appears to have come from the Cardinals.
Should the Cardinals have done what they did? They find
Jonathan Gannon one hundred thousand dollars for rough housing with
a player, So my answer has not changed. This is ridiculous.
It's absolutely ridiculous. Gannon got fined for doing his job,

(14:57):
for holding a player accountable. And again, this is something
that's changing, and I understanding the world changes, and like
I was raised with NFL coaches being total hot heads
and douchebags and all that stuff, and that I guess
now you're apparently supposed to reward that, like you give
him a nice little juice box and a little baggy

(15:20):
of orange slices. It's a good job, you look solid running,
it's not whether you score the touchdown. You tried to
score the touchdown. That's our good job by you. You tried.
And let's be very clear for those of you that
all of us know who Woody Haess or Bobby Knight
from that by god era, this was not Woody Hayes

(15:40):
at Ohio State. This was not Bobby Knight or Indiana. No,
this was a love tap on the shoulder, pets a guy.
He tapped the pad, he hit the pad. Yeah. So
at least based on what I watched ze Bruder film style,
frame by frame, and so like what's going you're coaching professionals.

(16:02):
I guess they're now supposed to be treated like they're
in preschool. And Ganning, Jonathan Gannon gets one hundred thousand
dollars fine because the optics didn't play well on TikTok
in the matrix. They didn't play well in the matrix.
That's not leadership. That's social media policing. Football is like
Mike Lindell should be the new commissioner of the NFL.

(16:25):
Remember him, because the NFL, they they're like that that
my pillow, nice comfortable pillow. It's like a factory, my
pillow factory is he gonna run. I've read some story
he's doing to run for, like the governor of Minnesota
or something that'll go well for him. I'm sure that'll
go well anyway. So forget the contract, forget the whole
contract thing and all that stuff. You could argue, right,

(16:49):
and you think about contracts and you know fines and
how I don't know how much gan it makes. I
think the minimum is like three million to be an
NFL head coach. But forget the on tract, forget to contact.
You could argue that Gannon should have been fined, like
I would have fined him one hundred thousand. I would
not have find him for touching the player. I would

(17:10):
have find Gannon if I owned the Cardinals fifty thousand
dollars for blowing a twenty one to three lead to
the Tennessee Titans, the worst team in football, at home,
I would have find him another fifty thousand dollars for
that pathetic, graveling apology which he gave on Monday. That
was brutal, Like I felt bad for him, Like I
know he's not the most engaging guy. And you never

(17:30):
need to learn the name of the Cardinals coach because
they're not there that long and all that stuff, but
it's like any juice that he had get lost at all,
it's all gone anything in that locker room, like, come on,
what are you doing? The message should have been that
I demand accountability. That's it, I demand accountability, and yeah,

(17:54):
it's just ridiculous, right. Instead the message was like HR
wanted me to do this, and so though it you know,
why not? You know, it's the the wussification of coaching
or whatever you want to call it. There and h
you know, you can't yell, you can't grab, you can't
to motivate. You're just kind of there and really what
this is going to do and it's just going to

(18:15):
bring us more nerd coaches. I thought Gannon was kind
of on the nerd spectrum myself, but apparently he's not
a big enough nerd that he actually had some fire
in his belly. But we're gonna have nothing but Mike
McDaniel coaches in Miami, Like that'll be the prototypical coach,
the guy that's going to go have a latte with
the player and not yell at that's the guy that

(18:37):
will go down and listen to some you know, cheesy
podcast about tea in Brazil. Uh. And and that's that
all right? Now final thought to Jacksonville. We go, and
let's do a check in on the two Way Dynamo.
That would be the football version. You all told me
the football version of show Heyo Tan and we like

(18:59):
the player at Ohio State. So five games in, how
is the newest breakout star in the NFL? Wink not
now back in the NFL draft breakout star? How is
Travis Hunter from Colorado working out for the Jaguars. So
the the Otani thing, very cute, nice little thing, you know,

(19:21):
the brochure that is just like Otani uh in real life.
Based on five games as a sample size thirty percent
of the NFL season, it's a gimmick with a capital
G at this point. And it's appropriate that the player
Travis Hunter went to Jacksonville because he is the epitome

(19:41):
of a jag Just a guy. He's just a guy.
He's not bad, just a guy. He moved up to
the second pick they traded up for the number two
pick they gave away. I think it was four picks
if I remember correctly. It's been months for the privilege
to draft Travis Hunter. That the privileged to draft Travis Hunter.

(20:02):
They traded four draft picks to get this guy. So
five games in one hundred and twenty defensive snaps and
he's giving up a seventy six point nine percent catch
rate against, which is a nerd stat. I think that's
not good. But I didn't play in the NFF to
check with Ryan Clark on that fifty four point five
Pro Football Focus grade, which out of sixty seven receivers

(20:24):
is ranked sixty six. Again, I don't think that's good. Oh,
you shouldn't say that. That's kind of mean. Okay, okay.
You traded a small nation of draft capital to get
the guy, and so far he kind of looks like
Tavon Austin or Tavon Austin. Remember the guy who played
with the sail It was Rams Tavon Austin. Yeah, a
lot of hype, not not much going on, and but listen,

(20:45):
he has the brand name and unfortunately the nil poster boy,
Dion's Prodigy, all that stuff. On the field, it's been
like you went to Walmart and you got the great value.
You got the the great value you knockoff thing, which
is I'd buy that it's cheaper. I bout it all
the time. But the aura, like the aura is supposed

(21:06):
to be, Oh, this guy's gonna sell a bunch of jerseys.
He's gonna just absolutely torch defensive backs on those slant patterns.
And he did have it one big catch in the game.
But this is not a unicorn. We're not talking about
unicorn who plays both ways and all that stuff. And yeah,
the idea of Travis Hunter as a value player playing

(21:27):
both ways is good. The actual product pee out what stinks.
So that's five games. But that's all we have to
judge him on at this particular point. He's not revolutionizing
the game of football and is the perfect player for
uoll Cody because they know a thing or two about
all kinds of hype and all kinds of promise and

(21:51):
very little payoff. They know a lot about that. And
somehow I love that. You sell tickets on potential. That's
what the coach told me, sell unpotential, and you win
championships on actual ability and actually doing the job. But
you can sell a lot of tickets just because people
love the idea that something's gonna be great. It is

Check it in. Let's say out a Lucky Tony get
that dump button ready. Lucky Tony is in the Bay Area.
He's a Chicago Bears fan. He's been listening to podcast

(27:07):
from twenty seventeen. Hello, Lucky Tony.

Speaker 9 (27:11):
Hey man, I'm not trying to plug anything unless it's
a lecture right now. But I was listening to the
twenty seventeen podcasts, and I want to tip my bears
hat to Rick Monday because you were telling the story
about what he did in nineteen seventy six. He also
had a pretty good baseball career too.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah, yeah, Rick Monday is the answer to a great
baseball trivia question. He was the first ever player drafted
when baseball started the draft. He was the first guy
ever selected.

Speaker 9 (27:40):
So oh really, I didn't catch that.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, maybe I didn't say it on that on that podcast,
but Rick's one of the great guys. And when I
worked over with the Dodgers years ago, Rick he was there.
He's been there forever, Like as a broadcaster, he's been
set probably a thirty five year career as a Dodger broadcaster,
maybe longer than that. Been there a long time, Tony,
Thank you, go ahead, This is lucky Tony. I noticed

(28:02):
that some of that did not make the air, so
you'll have to listen to the podcast to hear he
finally caught on to what Tony's been doing here. You
