just elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame the

(01:07):
twenty twenty five Pete Rosell Award, and Sterling Sharp also
a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame class
at twenty twenty five. The former Packer Great will join us.
Coming up, all right, a few things now.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
It got serious on Friday with Micah Parsons, because up
until this point I just thought it was a chess game.
And Jerry's done this before. But always remember this if
you're a Cowboy fan. Jerry doesn't lose anybody that he
wants to keep. If he wants to keep Michael Parsons,
he'll keep Michah Parsons. What happened is Michael parsons agent

(01:43):
got involved in this. Jerry likes to talk to the
player and let's work this out. And normally the player
does pretty well with Jerry Jones. But in this situation,
Michael Parsons has requested a trade. Here is Jerry Jones
on the message that he's sending to Cowboy fans.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
As always, in any relationships or different moods at different
times of your relationship, that's what it is. And don't
lose in sleepover. So just evens one thing I would
say to our fan, don't lose in sleepover.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Just to be clear, you don't feel the relationship has
changed at all from the Super Bowl Big twelve.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Again, I know my attitude, and my attitude is the
same one I've had. I think the world of Micah.
He's an outstanding player. He can really help us, but
he's got to fit in with what's in the best
interest of the team. And that's what the negotiation is
all about.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
And it's not just about money. It's about trust, and
the trust is wearing thin. You have Jerry and his son.
They walked the type rope before, but this feels a
little bit different than Ceedee Lamb or Dak Prescott. Parsons
isn't just another disgruntled player. He's a foundational piece. When
you think of the defense. He's one of the top

(02:57):
two three four players on defense in the NFL. And
not every trade request ends in departure. But you know,
the tension is there, and I always wonder about the
relationship that, yes, you can kind of tamp that down
a little bit, you can bury it a little bit,
but it's still there. Now if Jerry really wanted to

(03:18):
play in toy with Michah Parsons. You know, you can
franchise tag him for a couple of years if you
wanted to. It feels like Jerry has gotten what he wanted.
You know, keep this in mind of when he bought
the team, he got the three Super Bowls. Now it
just feels like he loves being in the spotlight. The
Cowboys are going to lead every show, Michah Parsons, They're

(03:40):
going to talk about the Cowboys. He does subscribe to
any publicity is good publicity?

Speaker 5 (03:45):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
But he's a brilliant businessman and the Cowboys are worth
ten billion dollars.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
The number of.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Analysts who have in the last year or maybe a
year and a half said this is about publicity. If
Jerry didn't have those three soupers, I wonder what his
approach would be as an owner. Because he's got three,
and he's a Hall of Famer and he's a billionaire.
I think he craves the attention. I think he loves
the attention. They haven't won anything. Now, They've flirted with

(04:14):
some good seasons that end up, you know, and you
know it's a crash a thud, But I just wonder
about Jerry when it comes to having a microphone in
his face, cameras in his face, everybody waiting to talk
to you, waiting to see what you say, and sometimes

(04:34):
the I don't Maybe lack of urgency has always concerned me.
Here you're probably the third best team in your own division.
I just don't think you can play games like this.
I think get a contract done and move on. Get
a contract. If you truly want to keep Micah Parsons

(04:55):
and c d Lamb and Dak Prescott, then get the
job done. Get it done, because if you're going to wait,
every time you've waited, it's cost you more money and
you need to have a full roster. You're top heavy
with Micah and Dak and Ceedee Lamb. But this is
your goal when you draft them. Your goal is I

(05:17):
hope he's one of the greatest defensive players and he's
here for a long time. Well, he's one of the
greatest defensive players, but now you're making him rethink if
he wants to be here. Ceedee Lamb. I hope he
becomes one of the best receivers in the game. He
has Now Dak Prescott, you can say, oh, you know what,

(05:37):
if he proves to be a starter and he's consistent, man,
that'll be great. We found a diamond in the rough. Okay,
you got him, you signed him, you paid him more
than you needed to. But that's your guy. He can
be loyal. But then you're not quite sure why he
gets some deals done and then doesn't get Michaeh. Parsons
done when you could have. And I go back to

(05:59):
April when before the draft. Now, all of a sudden,
you got everybody who can be involved in this. I
don't want to wait till August if I'm gonna play
a game and say, all right, you know, maybe, well
we'll trade him if we have to. He doesn't want
to be here, we'll trade him in April. Everybody can
be involved in this. If you truly aren't all in
on Micah Parsons, that's when we should have been discussing this,

(06:21):
not now, because it still feels like Jerry he's going
to get this done at some point. It might be
in three weeks, it might be on you know, the Sunday,
you know when they open up, what is it a month?
A month from today the Cowboys open up, right, So
is that what his I mean, we headed towards that

(06:43):
kind of deadline finish line with Jerry. It just it
feels like he loves Craves, needs that attention, and he's
gotten it. But if he didn't have those three Super Bowls,
I wonder if his approach would be a whole lot different.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
All Right, See let's poll question today. Is Dallas a
good place to play?

Speaker 6 (07:05):
Yes or no?

Speaker 2 (07:07):
You don't want to lose that address Like you're a cowboy.
It's different. If Dak played for Jacksonville, no one would
care Ceedee Lamb. If he was in Cleveland, we'd be like,
that guy's pretty good. Micah Parsons, he would be different
because Michael Parsons would still be a force no matter
where he is. But being a cowboy, it means something

(07:28):
more than any other franchise, as loyal as Green Bay is,
as Pittsburgh is, you know, the old Raiders. There's something
about being a Dallas cowboy everything that goes with that.
You get clicks, you get headlines, you get publicity, you
get endorsements. You're a cowboy if you can put up

(07:50):
with that. From the standpoint of everything you do is
under a magnifying glass. You know, I saw Dak Prescott's
building a mansion and I saw the early stages of that,
or a gender reveal with his wife or girlfriend gets
all there. You know, you got Troy Aikman who something said,

(08:13):
you know Troy that you know he talks about the cowboys.
It's going to be put there on the front page.
Tony Romo, I mean they got jobs, they're cowboys. Jason
Garrett got a job, Jason Witten got a job. So
you you do have I mean it means something. It's
like being a Laker, kind of like being a Dodger

(08:36):
or a Yankee, but to a lesser degree. But you know,
you have that address and if you can, if you
can put up with everything that goes along with that,
it's a great place to play.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Yes, se right, But there's the address and then there's
everything that comes with the address, and one of those
things is not rings. What you get is you're overrated
because you're a cowboy. You get constant abuse from cowboy fans.
We could just look at Shae for that. There's these

(09:11):
unbelievable expectations of greatness despite no real recent track history
of being able to accomplish that. It feels like that
address is maybe a little delusional right now about what
that address means.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
I think it's absolutely delusional because it's been thirty years. Correct,
No team in any sport in the United States has
gotten more publicity for doing less than Dallas. But Dallas
gets more publicity than anybody. And you're living off those
fumes of a different generation with the triplets there and

(09:48):
Jerry is built out, build up this house.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Credit that.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Hey, he still means something. What the Cowboys mean, but
they don't mean anything thing if you think about it,
like they're just a curiosity, that's all. I got a
what's the over? Under seven and a half maybe eight
and a half at the most. Maybe they make the

(10:13):
playoffs this year. It all goes well. Here's another thing
that's kind of lost in this, in my opinion, you
have Brian Schottenheimer, who was a first time head coach.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
It's already tough enough to coach the Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Now we're going to, you know, give you a degree
of difficulty here, and he's trying to establish a culture here.
What's hard to do that when your best player is
right over there and he's not practicing. You got a
quarterback who's injury prone, and you paid him all that money.
You got Pickens, who's going to eventually want a contract too. Like,

(10:48):
there's a lot of things involved in this. You know,
they do some things really really well, and then there
are other things where you go and this is where
the attention to detail I think has cost them greatly.
And as somebody with the Players Association said to me
last weekend, if you wait many how many months with

(11:11):
Michael Parson, if you know that you love Michael Parsons,
then it's like when you say, you know, I don't
want to get married, but I'm going to stay engaged,
And then the next year we're still engaged, but I
don't know if I want to get married. Well, then
you're probably not going to get married or you shouldn't
get married. But when you meet somebody and you say, hey,
you're the person. Hey, I've been with you for four

(11:33):
years and you have performed at the highest level, then
you marry him. You sign him up. But Jerry's like,
I don't know, he could get hit by a car?
What what.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
He could? And so could you?

Speaker 6 (11:52):
Yes, Marvin, don't you try to draft well and get
a great edge rusher so you can sign him? So
he can be on that team for the rest of
his career. Yes, crazy thought, that's that's the goal. That's
the goal.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
That you found your guy and then all of a
sudden you're not quite sure and I'm I'm sure a
deal will get done. You do not want to lose
Michael Parsons because if you did, then lose him in
April when you can take advantage of the draft and
teams who would then you know, pony up. You're not
going to get equal value here from Michael Parsons. I

(12:25):
don't think he'll be traded. It's Jerry doesn't want to
deal with Micah's.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
Agent, that's all. Jerry likes to talk to the player
one on one.

Speaker 7 (12:36):
We'll get a deal done and hey, hey, I reached
you know, but he's the one because he brought in
his agent.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Now.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
I don't know what the numbers are, but it feels
like Jerry was bothered that.

Speaker 7 (12:51):
I thought we were going to talk about this. We're
going to go back and forth. We get a deal done.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yes see, that's why people have agents so that they
can do that on someone to be haf I do
like the idea though, that Jerry's like, you know, he
needs to do what's best for the team. They could
just say, well, isn't what's best for the team having
me on it? Yes, Dylan, I think the team's better
with me playing. Yeah, maybe you should do it's best

(13:18):
for the team.

Speaker 8 (13:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:19):
Jerry also seems like the first guy who if you
didn't have an agent in those discussions, he'd be like.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
I'm going to capitalize on this one. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:27):
I'm also dan for the record eight and a half.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
Eight and a half wins for the Cowboys. Sounding higher
and higher. Yeah, I'm going higher.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
Yes, Marvin, I can't wait until the opening of Thursday
Night football Opening Night Eagles celebrating their Super Bowl trophy.
We're talking about Micah Parsons.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Oh yeah, yeah, I have to He got.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Signed the Tuesday before the Thursday night game.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Do you think that's when it happens. But he's not
in camp. This happened with Ceedee Lamb. They dragged Dak
Prescott's out until the first Sunday of the NFL season.
And Jerry Jones will never come on this show. But
you know, anybody who talks to him locally, I would
just want to know tell me the business philosophy for

(14:09):
waiting for somebody you're going to sign. I just want
to know that because if, as the source of the
NFL Players Association said, you know, eight million, you know
the difference between thirty four million and forty two million,
and then the following season that's another eight million, eight million,
So you could be paying thirty two million dollars more

(14:32):
than you needed to over four years for Micah Parsons.
I don't understand the logic unless you say, we well,
we got thirty two million dollars in publicity. Now you
probably got one hundred million in publicity thanks to ESPN.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
Yes, Martin, and don't forget Jerry almost screwed up the
first dynasty when he didn't sign Emmis Smith and they
went owing to to start that season.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yes, yes, Bil.

Speaker 9 (14:57):
I mean that's sort of like getting like a parking
ticket and just being like, I don't want to pay
it right now, and then in two weeks it's.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
Like triple the price. They're like, well that was stupid.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Oh, and you know I don't like leading with the
Cowboys because I just I won't do that to you.
But in this situation, now that you have the trade
request and do I still think it's going to get done.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
I do. I'm just kind of fascinated with the approach.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
These brilliant businessmen who are smart enough to make billions,
and then when it comes to dealing, you know, with individuals,
and you make moves and you go.

Speaker 5 (15:36):
How's this guy a billionaire? Again? Yeah? Smart?

Speaker 6 (15:39):
But Jerry doesn't think he's like the other guys. He
thinks he's a football guy because he played football at Arkansas,
So he's no, no, I'm not like the rest of them.
I'm a football guy that became a billionaire.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh yeah, all right, so we'll come up with the
pole question today. I it frustrates me because the Cowboys
dominate the headlines when there's really no news, and so
now you have them front and center, and it just

(16:12):
gets to the point where you go, I they bang
my head against the wall.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
It'll get done.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Now, there's part of me hoping it doesn't get done,
Like I want, give me some chaos here, send him
to the Chicago Bears.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
All right, now we got something to talk about.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
But go back, Jerry and Micah hold a joint press conference,
and Jerry talk about you know, Micah and I love
him and like his son. And you know, hey, you know,
Jerry's tough. He's a tough negotiator. Yes, he is happy
to be a cow like. I've been doing this forty years,

(16:52):
not much longer though, all right, to take a break.
Just getting started on this month day and morale's high. Yes, Marvin,
only a couple more off seasons. If you're talking cowboys,
I know. We'll take a break. We'll check in with
the cowboys. We'll dive in a little deeper next hour,
and then two Hall of famers in the final hour,

(17:14):
Brent Musburger and Sterling Sharp. Just getting started on this Monday.
Glad to have you on board, Dan and the Dan

Speaker 11 (18:22):

on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Pauli's out today, Dylan is sitting in his chair. Fritzi's here, Satan,
Marv Yours Truly AH seven seven to three DP show
Best and Worst of the weekend. What you saw that
you like you didn't like. Mary Kay Cabot covers the
Cleveland Browns. She was there at the Pro Football Hall
of Fame and she took a little shot at Bill Belichick.

Speaker 12 (18:57):
Bill Belichick was the first Browns coach I ever covered.
You see, if you start out with Bill Belichick, no
one can rattle you after that. If Bill didn't like
something I wrote, he'd call and yell at me. If
you asked a dumb question, he'd call you out. Eventually,

(19:17):
I had to learn to stand up to him. During
one of those yelling matches. I told him, if you
don't have the footballs to say that to the guys,
then don't say it to me, Bam. But now I
totally understand why Bill gave me such a hard time.
I was twenty eight at the time, and he just

(19:39):
couldn't relate to a woman that old.

Speaker 13 (19:43):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
That was a bloop bloop. Bill's girlfriend took a shot
at Mary Kay Cabot. She wasn't real appreciative of what
she had to say, although she's taken a shot at
Bill's age before. But Mary Kay Cabot, who has covered
the Cleveland Browns for a long time, take a little
shot when Bill used to be the head coach of

(20:07):
the Cleveland Browns eight seven seven three DP show and
we'll get to your best and worst of the weekend
that'll be coming up. And we were just talking during
the commercial break that it feels like the further we
get away from the Cowboys winning those three Super Bowls,
the greater Jimmy Johnson's legacy becomes. The larger it becomes,

(20:29):
because that's somebody who went toe to toe with Jerry Jones,
and that's where egos get involved and who's taken credit
for this. Well, Jerry can take all the credit he
wants for the last thirty years. But with Jimmy, that
was a partnership there, and we thought it was going
to work well. Jerry, you know, trusted Jimmy former teammates

(20:51):
at Arkansas.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
But then when you realize how long.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Jerry made Jimmy waite to get into the ring of honor,
that's when you under stand pettiness.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
He waited made him wait.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Now you can say this as a friend of mine
who is affiliated with the Cowboys. Was a great marketing
by Jerry because he got all that publicity by not
putting Jimmy Johnson. I go, damn, there's some deep stuff.
I don't know how deep it goes for Jerry and
how twisted he can be when it comes to getting

(21:25):
publicity and what that means to him. But do I
think that he held him out of the Ring of
Honor because he would get all this publicity instead of
if he put him in right away, then we wouldn't
talk about it.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Okay, let's see what else do we have here?

Speaker 2 (21:44):
So Jared Allen, Eric Allen, Sterling Sharp, Antonio Gates, Brett Munsberger.
Is Antonio Gates? Is he the answer to the trivia question?
The only Hall of Famer who never played college football?
Because he was a college basketball player and actually a
pretty good good basketball player. But I think he's the
only member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame player

(22:05):
wise who never played college football. Yes, what does that
say about football? I think at that position, because Jimmy
Graham was a basketball player as well, and more known
as a basketball player, I think at that position it's
it's about your your size, athleticism and positioning, and basketball

(22:29):
is about positioning. When you think about when you score,
where are you when you're playing defense? You know, using
your body. I'm gonna probably just look at that position.
I don't know if there's other ones where you say, hey,
I don't need to play college football. I can walk
in and play that position. I don't know if there's

(22:50):
other ones like that, but it feels like a tight end.
The athleticism, body type, and also positioning as well.

Speaker 6 (22:59):
Yes, Mark, Yeah, definitely, power forward to tight ends seems
like a pretty seamless transition at you know, compared to
other positions. But you gotta steal guys off. You got
to always catch the ball too. Power forwards are always
catching the ball. I know football is different than the basketball,
but same size, same speed, So football players are really

(23:19):
just failed basketball players.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Well.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Also, a big guy in football is not a big
guy in basketball. Antonio Gates if he was, you know,
playing basketball, and they'd be like, all right, guy six',
five he's all. Right then you start to see the
really big guys in basketball in, football Man, gates he's
a big.

Speaker 6 (23:42):
Guy that dude's, Big, like don't he? Not, Yeah, MARVIN
i always go. Back Steph curry is the same height
As Miles. Garrett who would you rather?

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Have Miles? Garrett pretty good basketball player failed basketball.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Player, so, Uh Antonio gates played At Kent State university
and he was an undrafted free.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
Agent AND i saw his basketball.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Highlights he had good, feet good, footwork good, hands and
once again that's another. Thing basketball gives you. Footwork you
have to have that as a tight end size, wise good, hands,
uh and positioning and turned out to be, great great.
Signing who Else Tony gonzalez basketball player as well and

(24:39):
a failed basketball?

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Player is that what you're, Saying, MARK.

Speaker 6 (24:43):

like where Like i'm sitting there And i'm sympathizing with
almost two full generation Of cowboy fans now that do
not know what A lombardi looks.

Speaker 15 (26:18):
Like and it seems like every year we have this
thing of where their drama dominates the headlines more than
the output on the. Field and where Does Jerry jones
sit back and got, guys it's going to be. Fine
it's gonna be. Fine you know it Hasn't you have
not brought a winning team to that city for almost forty.

(26:40):
Years so where does this show that it's, like, hey
the process, works this, works you just got a trust in.
It it does not work once, Again Jerry jones showing
he got lucky at the beginning and he's just riding
that out till the.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
End you boys have a great. Week thank you.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Guys luca signs a contract extension three year DEAL i
think it's two, years and then in an. Option and
you had a lot of players who were. There lebron
was not, there although he faced Timed. Luca here's the
one curious thing about all of. That, Now LEBRON i

(27:20):
think was posting that he was playing golf at the
time on. Vacation i'm guessing that he knew this was
going to, happen but, okay you're on. Vacation the one
person WHO i thought should have been there was his, Son.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Ronnie.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
James if he wants to stay longer After lebron, leaves
like that's your. Teammate that's what was. Surprising Ronnie james
should have been. There you're the last guy on the.
Roster you should be there show. Support it just felt, like,
hey my Dad's. Lebron we got a. VACATION i, mean

(27:58):
that's where you, say, dad that's my, team that's my,
teammate and If lebron doesn't want to be, there it
just feels like, there's you, know a game going. On
the passive aggressive who Knows European, league you, know back and.
Forth i'm working at out at the Old clippers facility
and here we.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
Go you should be. There it's.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Important but as it was pointed out to me from
somebody with The lakers, Yesterday luca is the face of The.
Lakers lebron's the face of the, league and they both
play on the same. Team but AS i was told last,
night hey make no mistake about, it It's luca's team

(28:45):
And lebron knows. That but there's nothing else he can,
do because if he was going to do, something he
wouldn't have signed that contract. Extension he would have, said
you know What i'm going to. Do i'm going to bookend.
This i'm going back To cleveland And i'm going to
win another championship.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
There if it's about.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Winning and you want to have the final say in
all of, this you could.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
Have you don't want to lose that. Address you want
to be In Los.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Angeles all your business ties are, there your family's, There
you're there be there to Support. Luca, NOW i know
it's not a big, deal but With, lebron it's always
a big. Deal everything becomes a bigger deal because he wasn't.
There bronni should have been, There, Dad i'm going to
cut short this. VACATION i need to be. THERE i

(29:33):
think it's really important As. Lebron if that's my son
and he said, That i'd be, like all, right, son you're,
right you should be. There but If lebron, FaceTime luca's
fine with. IT i, mean you, KNOW i don't think
there's any acrimony, there BUT i think it's. Awkward BUT
i also when this trade, HAPPENED i, said If luca

(29:55):
wants to be the best player in the, league all
he needs to do is look At Lebron james and
What lebron does to get ready for a. Season If
luca does, That luca can be the best player in the.
Game and we've seen what's happened this. Offseason he's gotten
in his best shape and he's there for a couple more.
Years he's probably going to be eventually the first player

(30:18):
to make eighty million dollars in a, season almost a
million dollars a. Game that'll be the next contract here
probably in two, years when he signs another, extension it'll
be for probably close to eighty million. Dollars kyle In,
Rochester good, Morning. Kyle what's on your mind?

Speaker 13 (30:35):
Today first, time long, time six foot two twenty back
to the. Weekend i'm currently in the hospital with the
Newest Dan patrick show fans weighing in eight pounds six,
ounces And i'm calling. Calling i'm A brown. Fan and you,
Know Miles garrett earlier came out and did that in

(30:56):
media tour of how he's requesting a trade in all,
this and then we just threw aupun some money at
him and he's. Back don't you Think jerry will just
end up doing the same thing and this all just
kind of blow. Over i'll hang up and listen to.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
That, yeah and Congrabts. Kyle, Yeah i've said all. Along
that's Why i've just been.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Involved in baseball lockouts and, strikes holdouts like all of
this stuff over the, years and it always comes down
to just a little bit one way or the. Other,
hey you. Sacrifice, Hey i'm going to sweeten it a little. Bit,
Hey i'll give you a little bit. Here i'll take
away a little bit, there we're going to guarantee that that's.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
What this comes.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Down they know exactly what the number, is they know
what we'll get this. Done jerry might have a different
number Than Micah parsons and his, agent but it just
feels like if it does get, done then it feels
like we've been played again By.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Jerry it just.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
DOES i think when he wakes up and he turns
on THE tv and he, goes, yep they're talking talking
about my, team and in his mind he's probably saying
the value it just keeps going up and they don't
have to, win just be. Relevant that's why when you're
a bad, team at least be. Interesting they are good

(32:15):
teams who aren't. Interesting you want to be, Relevant that's
what you want to get into the news. Cycle you
want to make sure that they're debating and talking And,
OKAY i don't subscribe to. That But jerry has become
a great marketer of a product that is not that.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Good, yes, yes. DEALING i, mean do you think he's just.

Speaker 9 (32:39):
Like all in on any press is good?

Speaker 5 (32:41):
Press, yes though it's almost always.

Speaker 8 (32:43):
Bad.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
Yes, Yes.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
And he's done a great job on. That he truly
has done a great job at, That but if you're
A cowboy, fan like after a, while it's just it's,
FRUSTRATING i, think because you, want you, know you take great,
pride but but you're not one of those teams that you,
know we look at with the same reverence that we once.

(33:07):
Did you're kind of, like, MAN i, Remember i'm old
enough to re when when somebody Says i'm old enough
to remember when they were. Good you, know you got
a whole generation that's whiffed on The.

Speaker 5 (33:18):
Cowboys, yeah at some.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Point you want to be famous for more than just being.
Famous yeah you, know, yeah, maybe Like marvin just, said
it's a Little kardashian's ish at this point where it's, like, yeah,
no but they used to be really.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
Good, yeah, YEAH i. DO i just funny Picturing jerry
being A.

Speaker 9 (33:41):
Kardashian well also TO i, mean like it's kind of monopoly, money,
Right like they're they're just drawing it, out like there's
a salary. Cap he's obviously going to pay them in
over three. Years that difference isn't really gonna matter that.
Much but if you're a, count don't do that to
your fan.

Speaker 5 (33:57):
BASE i.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Agree that's all because the rest of the country hates The,
cowboys but to your fan, base just let them know
That i've got. This i'm taking care of, him you know.
What that's WHY i bring up The eagles and The.
Chiefs they're so well run because they get in front of.

Speaker 5 (34:16):
This they sign.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Guys you might lose, guys but you keep your core
and there's no drama attached to. This what's the drama
with The. Chiefs what's the drama with The. Eagles and
look at what The eagles did With Saquon. Barkley The
giants were gonna be. Stupid they were going to let
you eaves dropping their. NEGOTIATIONS i use in quotation marks

(34:41):
With Saquon barkley and he's, like, man they're playing me
for a. Fool and The eagles were, like, hmmm we'll take,
you will take.

Speaker 14 (34:49):
You thank, you.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Sir THAT'S i, mean that's what you want with your.
Franchise they're a step, ahead two steps. Ahead and The
chiefs An eagle her exactly, that and that's why they're.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
