Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Welcome back to Good Morning Football. Take a look at
your next Netflix binge. If that poster doesn't screen drama,
history and entertainment, then get your eyes checked. I can't
help you. It's America's team, the Gambler and his Cowboys,
and then you can stream it today on Netflix. The
new eight part docu series chronicles Jerry Jones and the
Cowboys impact on NFL history.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Take a look at a clip in nineteen eighty nine.
I get this call and I said, your dad wants
you to call him at home. I called Dad and
then he goes, what would you think about moving to Dallas?
And I go what when Dad had called? And at
first we thought he was crazy.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Then he said, doing this, we'll take absolutely everything we have.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
You need to know that. And here I am nineteen
years old, Charlotte, you know twenty two, Stephen twenty.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Five, felt like we were just kids. Told my dad
I don't know anything about running a professional football team,
and he looked me dead in the eye and he said,
neither do I.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And look at them now, no, seriously, look at her now.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Because Charlotte Jones.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
So you just saw in the clip our friend of
the show, co owner and chief brand officer of the
Cowboys is joining us on Good Morning Football.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Let's hope.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
Charlotte.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
UT so excited. This is awesome, doing great. Thank you
for having me on.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Absolutely so, Charlotte. I saw you last week at the
premiere of this unprecedented access to this team of this
documentary by Netflix. The perspective and the storytelling that what
people will watch is truly remarkable. When we go back
and look at that clip there we are at the party.
It's lovely to see you.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Uh, what is one thing you and I had this
conversation actually right there at that table that we took
that picture at. What is the one thing that your
dad didn't know when he brought Dallas football into your family.
How did you guys navigate that experience because, as you
said it, you guys were flying blind as a group.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yes, you know, I have such a vivid memory of
that day. You know, they say when traumatic things happened
to you, you never forget them, and that day was
one of them. And I just remember him telling us,
and it really is the only time he has ever
underestimated something that he has said. And he told us,
you know, if I do this, this just may change
(02:48):
our life a little. And then all we went on
this incredible journey of being involved with this iconic franchise.
And I think even at that moment, as passionate as
my dad was about wanting to be involved with the Cowboys,
that we truly didn't get the magnitude of what we
(03:09):
were stepping into. And I think, boy, you know, I
know when I watched the first episode, I was almost
sick at my stomach and I had a little like DSDH.
That was like a really really really difficult time. And
you know, since then, it's like all of these incredible
(03:30):
opportunities have been cloaked in like dramatic challenge and how
you know, how we sifted through all all of the
the rough stuff to bring about what has been so
positive about this experience. And I think this docu series
really shows that it takes you back in time, so
you feel all of the you feel all the hatred,
(03:53):
you feel, you know, all the passion, which you know,
oddly enough, it's it's you know, you want people to
be passionate about Dallas Cowboys. So all the it's love,
and it's and it's anger, and it's excitement, and it's
all these things, and we start day one and revisit
all of that.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Hi, Charlotte, I know it's been a tremendous, tremendous journey
for you and your family. Has been amazing for us
to see. I know it's different for you guys to
have lived it. But this piece on Netflix is called
the Gambler for a reason because Jerry, well, he wasn't
afraid to take risks outside of buying the team. In
your eyes, what's the biggest risk that he.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Took, do you know? I think it's like every day
has been the risk. First, you know, was the financial
risk because clearly he didn't really have the revenue to
back up the purchase. And I think this is what's
so interesting about the story because I think today's world,
you see new ownership come in with different leagues, different teams,
(04:51):
and they have an established you know, success and net
worth that they're coming in and being a part of
something that they love. This was very different for us
because it was everything that we had. There was no
opportunity for a failure. You had to figure out how
to make it work, and I think that everyday heartbeat
(05:12):
of we're losing thirty five thousand dollars a day, we're
losing this money, how you stop that bleeding? And how
do we then become successful on the field. And so
both of those were running parallel to each other, so
feeling kind of that drama of every day. So every
decision was a risk. So buying the team was a risk.
(05:33):
Trading Hershel Walker was a risk. Carrie Johnson was a risk.
I mean, he had never coached in the NFL, and here,
you know, he dropped in to this situation. So it
was almost like every single decision that was made was risky.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
That's such a great answer, and I totally buy into it,
you know, Charlotte. I had this experience recently where I
got to sit with Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin and
watch one of the old games from the nineties together,
And this was from the ninety five season in which
Barry Switzer was the coach, and yet I found that
Emma and Earth just constantly kept saying Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.
It felt in so many ways like he had such
(06:11):
a looming presence over the organization. It's a big part
of the documentary. Of course, when you look back at
Jimmy Johnson at his time with the Cowboys and the
end of it, what do you remember.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Oh boy, I remember that We all we could think
of is well, thank goodness, we've got Jimmy, he can
get it here. It help us figure out how, you know,
what we're doing and what is happening. And there were
so many parts of the story back then of the
puzzle because the game was very, very different back then.
You know, there was there was no free agency, the
(06:46):
draft was different. You know, how you acquired players were
different there, you know, just there there was no cap,
you know, all those things, and then actually turning around
to make the players be successful, how could you do that?
And who who was going to actually be on the field,
all of those decisions. You know, you were just so
grateful that someone was equally as passionate as you were
(07:09):
about what we were doing. And you know, every step
was filled with such controversy that you know, when Jimmy
came in, we were all fighting the controversy together, and
so he was being heavily criticized. My father was being
heavily criticized everything we did had that scrutiny to it,
and you know, you want people to be passionate about
(07:33):
what you do. But man, were they passionate about all
of it? And we enjoy that, you know today. I
mean that's kind of the you know, you don't get
here without challenge, and that's that's also an added motivation.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
I think, Hey, Charlotte, look, I was lucky enough to
be a cowboy in nineteen ninety four and one of
the best years of my life. First class organization all
the way, and trust me, coming from Detroit, no disrespect,
it was night and day. But during that time there
were larger than life personalities on that team. Michael Troy
(08:10):
Emmett you mentioned, Jimmy, how did your dad handle all
of those personalities?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I'll have to say this. When we were watching this
come about and they would send us the episode, we
got to the end of one of them and my
dad looked at me and he goes, man, I forgot
how big of a challenge.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
We were seeing things for the first time too as
they hit in this episode, and things we did not remember,
things that you chose to forget, you know, all of
those things that were wrapped up in this it's like
peeling the onion back and remembering, like, oh my gosh,
that really was going on at the same time, all
of this was happening. And I think, you know what's
super interesting about this and is for everybody to kind
(08:59):
of decipher, is, you know, every team has a character
on their team, and the fact that these characters and
these teams became larger than live it's like, how how
did that actually happen? And that you know, the tag
of America's team came around back for Roger stahlback. You know,
(09:20):
I feel like everybody was just trying to keep up
with the tradition of what the Cowboys did for and
then they had this incredible spotlight, so everything they did
was under a microscope. Thank goodness, we didn't have any
social media effect. I don't think you have the team
would have on social media. So you think about, you know,
(09:42):
all these clips that we were seeing of old news
clips that are in this documentary, we didn't even see
all of that because unless you were sitting in front
of the television, you missed it. Sure, unless you got
that paper, you missed it. And so for it all
to come back and to be kind of piled on
top of each other. It's been a journey to watch
(10:03):
it again but also realize, like, man, we survived that.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Yes, it is incredible. I've been able to see some
of it and I was immediately just drawn in. I
just put the remote down and watch. It's fantastic part
of the intrigue Charlotte, and it's part of the drama
over the decades sometimes manifests in these contractual standoffs with
star players. I remember all the way back to EMMITTT.
Smith missing games, and it's just part of what happens
(10:31):
with the company that brings us to Micah Parsons.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Now.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
A lot of fans look at something like this and
they roll their eyes, some of them laugh, and some
of them say, oh, Jerry loves this stuff. He does
it part of for the attention. That's how they feel
about it. How do you feel about Micah and just
this Cowboys contractual standoff thing that happens all the time?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It seems you know, it does happen all the time.
And then again, I think that's a testament to people's
interest that whatever we are doing, there are other contract
holds outs. You know, across the league. Everyone deals with
the same issue. We just happen to be on this
stage of interest that is more magnified than most. So
(11:18):
every little hiccup, every little sneeze is blown up and
blown out of proportion, and you know, discussed at a
level that it's probably you know, above and beyond where
most teams experience it. And so for me, as I
sit back and look at it, I think we've developed
over time the ability to kind of tune out the
(11:39):
noise and just focus on, you know, the issue at hand.
And obviously, you know, everybody wants this to be over with,
everybody wants to just play the game. But there is
a part of this that is unavoidable, and that's with
any kind of contract negotiation. And I do think that
(11:59):
you know, we have, you know, this incredible roster of talent.
They're at a very high level, they are being compensated
at a very high level, and at the end of
the day, you realize that when the pie is gone,
there's nothing left. So how do you spread that around
to all the talent that you have? And at some
point that becomes you know, the iceberg that's right there,
(12:23):
that is creates the tension, and how do you divvy
that up and there's you know, I think it's just
part of the game. I think it's the business part
of the game that fans don't enjoy, but the ability
to like feed in and want to be Everybody wants
to be a Monday Morning quarterback, but they also want
to be a Monday Morning GM and they know you
(12:45):
know everything and this is this is part of it.
This is this is life, This is life in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Well, Charlotte, I think if I were you, I could
not be more proud of my title with this team
because as a brand, it is one of the most
notorious in sports and in the country and the world,
and that as the chief brand officer. Congratulations to you
on everything you've built in your You're there and honestly
on both documentaries that are out on Netflix, because I
know you have a first hand involvement in America Sweetheart,
(13:12):
which we just found out is being renewed for a
third season. We love having you on. But first and foremost,
if you're gonna binge wock anything, it's America's team.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
We know you do.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Kyle the Gambler and it's Cowboys, Charlotte Jones, everybody. We'll
see you on Netflix. We'll go watch this today and
we'll follow up with Charlotte on Thanksgiving as we always do.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Great to see you, Charlotte, Great to see y'all.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
Goodbye, bye, good football, Good football.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Thirty eight Nothing Bears the Final. This is a great
night for Caleb Williams.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Kyle.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I did have just had to do my own Olamide
Zikias from Virginia just to make sure I understood the
history for that player. And we all know ky Wi Williams
from USC didn't suit up week one of the preseason.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Well week two he did.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
And I got to go to Rodney first because I
just said uttered USC and immediately you're just like I
got to talk about kill Williams.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
Would Jake Man Tai here too.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
You can look to your right.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Can't help me involuntary responses. What I have here. I
thought it was fantastic. I'm with you, Kyle. Not quite
to the Super Bowl parade yet, but I love the
fact that he was on time, in rhythm, and because
that was enough right that he held the ball too long.
I can mentioned sack sixty four times last year, most
in the NFL, but every throw was in rhythm. He
(14:47):
hit the back put he let it go. He looked
very comfortable, very comfortable in the pocket, and you know,
there was a tremendous amount of pressure on him to
start this game, given all the talk in the training
camp and him not performing well throwing interceptions and all
those things. But to come out firing on that first
d like he did, I thought it was fantastic.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Yeah, Brodney, I think it was fantastic, not only by him,
but by Ben Johnson. You started to see this system
implemented that Ben Johnson wants to run with him. To
your point, you said the ball came out when his
back foot hit the grass. That's something that's different from
last year. I think last year they were requiring him
to go through a progression that it wasn't set up
where this year, when I looked at the plays, all
(15:28):
of his progression was in his line of sight. Like
his first rd, his secondary and his third read were
all in the same area. So it made it simple
for him to be able to execute. For the Chicago Bears,
I did think that it was a little early. I
thought they pulled them a little early. I thought, if anything,
they would have pulled them after the first drive where
they drove down there and scored that touchdown. Now the
second drive they go six plays and a punt. I
(15:51):
expected him to come back out just so that they
could finish on a more positive note. But what I
did see from that Bears offense was this, like you
saw in the highlight that KB talked about, there's a
lot of tight end utilage there. Tight end usage like
it was just comet and the guy from Michigan disty.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
You see guy here?
Speaker 7 (16:12):
What are we talking about on Well, it was warm
and fuzzy for the Chicago Bears, that's for sure. And
I really thought that the way that Ben Johnson had
this offense, just how quick it was. There was a
pace from when they broke the huddle. There was an
urgency to get to the line of scrimmage. There wasn't
any kind of shuffling around. There was a system to it,
and I really liked it. KB listen mantis all over it.
(16:35):
So if you didn't watch the game, Caleb played two drives.
The second one ended prematurely, at least for Bears fans,
not in no small parts of the fact that Roma
Dunes they had a big drop on the far sideline,
a drop that Caleb took responsibility for even though we all.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Know that wasn't true, which is fine.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
The headline here is Caleb and Ben Johnson look smooth,
They look efficient, they.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Look comfortable, they looked good.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Let's let's put this in proper context. This is the
first time Caleb has ever played on an NFL field
without an interim coach or an ill suited coach with
like a proper coach to his skills. The last time
he played a game, it was seven months ago. He
was with his third coordinator, his second head coach. He's
in Lambeau Field, winning, by the way, but this has
been a long time coming. And listen, he hit both
(17:19):
tight ends. He hit the wide receivers. He hit the
wide receiver one, went to the wide receiver, two, went
to wide receiver three. It's something you can need.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
It was smooth.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Getting the play in and out of the huddle was smooth.
Everything was on time. They're trotting up to the line
of scrimmage with tons of time on the play clock,
and some of you winning teams, winning fans of winning
teams are like, what the heck? They get the playout
on time. Yes, it's a big deal that the Bear's
got the playout on time. Give them credit. It's baby steps.
You gotta crawl before you can run, and he definitely
(17:48):
crawled yesterday. Now listen, I will say this.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
For Bills fans.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
There was nobody really out there, say for maybe two
or three guys out of twenty two, who are guys
who are gonna matter for the Bills this year? Sean
McDermott did not play really anybody on offense, on defense,
true true backups that the Bears ones we're going against.
So that's why I was thirty eight to nothing. None
of us care about the score. We care about what
we're watching right here. And I will end by saying,
(18:16):
there's this person out there, this character in the preseason
who is who will just scrooge anything positive or happy
that you have to say about what happens on a
football field. It's such an annoying Internet character because for
that person, this is the same person who's making fun
of Caleb a few weeks ago. Understand the laws right
now in the NFL preseason August twenty twenty five, if
(18:36):
someone doesn't look great in practice, they're a bust. But
if someone makes plays in an actual preseason.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Game, whoa chill out.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
It's just preseason. It means nothing. Learn ball. This is useless.
You gotta pick one. You can't have both. I know
you want to, but you can't. Caleb looks smooth. The
Bears look fine. We'll see how they look on that
same field opening night against the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Well, Kyle, to your point, Caleb Williams rose to the occasion.
Whatever standard in which you set upon the ok that
is preseason football brought me.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I'll ask you.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
We were spending time last week on in inspecting the
things that Ben Johnson was saying about what he had
put forth in front of Cale Williams, which is I
am going to load him up. I'm going to put
a lot of things on him. I really want to
make challenge him to see what he can do with
that in terms of his skill set. What did you
make of the responsibility that this new head coach, first
time head coach, has put on this quarterback and the
(19:27):
way that Cale Williams has responded.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
I thought it was a good thing because you got
to find out what he can do. You got to
find out what his capacity is to load and decipher information,
and to put that much on him early on it
makes sense because Caleb's got a world of talent. We
all saw that at SC and then his first year
he struggled, and I think he got into a little
(19:49):
bit of bad habits. Yeah, his last year at USC,
tried to play a little bit of hero ball and
trying to do too much and holding the ball a
little longer. That doesn't work in the NFL. We saw
last year in his rookie season and ended up with
sixty plus sacks. So I thought it was good. And
Ben Johnson, he's he's quarterback friendly, as we like to
say as quarterbacks. He really is. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
You talked about those those habits, and this is what
I talked about as well when you watch Caleb, and
I thought that it was going to be a challenge
for Ben Johnson. Probably the most important challenge is trying
to reprogram Caleb like somebody who has all of that talent,
arm talent, smart can add lib on the run when
you get set, when you get sack sixty eight times,
and you get into this habit of trying to run
(20:31):
around and extend plays that Ben Johnson had to come
into the locker room and say, hey, like take the
first read if the read is throw it away. Like,
just get him on a system and on a pace
where he can just be on point. There's no there's
no need to run around, there's no need to extend plays.
Just get the ball to the receiver. If it's not there,
throw it away. And I thought that Caleb really demonstrated
(20:53):
that last night.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
I think one of the most the most amusing observations
from Bears Twitter last night is that Ben Johnson is
some sort of sociopath. He's up thirty eight to nothing
at home and he's not even smiling, like on the
cutaways of him on the sideline are dead serious, no levity,
no relief whatsoever. Let's remember, like we're talking so much
about Caleb, Caleb is way more experienced at his job
(21:17):
than Ben Johnson, isn't his Caleb has a year under
his belt. This was like positively, this look was amused.
This was like one of his most happiest looks we
saw at thirty eight to nothing. Ben Johnson has never
called plays during a game. To Caleb, he's never been
the head coach. Saved for a preseason game last week,
and I thought what Caleb said after the game was
(21:37):
really interesting. All the Bears media was asking him what
was coach Johnson like during the game, what was he like?
And Caleb said, he's way calmer during the games than
he is during practice when he's on to me in
the headset. In practice, it's a lot of yelling and
volume and energy. In the game, it was just smooth
and calm.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
That is unusual.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
He should be amped. He's in front of the home crowd,
He's got Caleb out there. I think this is a
different kind of guy. Will it work or not, we'll see.
But he does have that like my pulse doesn't bounce.
A fly could land on my eyeball, and when Caleb's
out there, I'm not even gonna blink.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I like that.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
It's icy as hell, and I think there's going to
be more of a coming.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Good moan football, Good moaning football.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Back on GMFB. This was really really special news. Yesterday,
Tyson Beagent signs a two year, ten million dollar contract
extension with the Chicago Bears. He has been a presence
in the quarterback room for the Bears. This keeps Pagent
in Chicago through twenty twenty seven. This, of course, according
to rap Sheet, Tyson Beagent comes to the NFL a
(22:57):
couple of years back from division to Shepherd University, which
means that achieving this in his young career is something
that took some emotion.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Yeah, I think that, you know, a lot of people
don't know this, but you know, my dad is my
he's my right hand man, and he didn't he didn't
have running water until he was in high school. So
there's definitely a lot of things that and people that
I could that I think I could certainly help with
(23:34):
this gift I've been blessed with. But yeah, just little
things like that. But you know, I don't really know
anybody back at home with any money.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
So yeah, it feels good.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
I mean, it's certainly a weight off my shoulders and
my family's shoulders, and yeah, it definitely means a lot.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
First of all, congratulations to Tyson and his family. Incredible
emotion behind a true career accomplishment. Kyle, Uh, this one
hits with us because this kid is a front of
the show, his dad is a front of the show.
We've loved watching him develop and now the Bears have
invested in him.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, I mean, this is what it's all about.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
This is an incredible, incredible football story. If you don't
care about the Bears backup quarterback. This is the human being,
all right. Grew up oldest of four children, very very poor.
As you just mentioned there sometimes West Virginia, no big
time college offers, goes FCS recruiting, goes to Shepherd University
in West Virginia. Makes the Bears roster in the final
(24:35):
fifty three as a rookie fights his way up to
second string in his first ever career start. When Justin
Fields got hurt, he won. Bears quarterbacks don't do that.
And the party was supposed to be over because then
Ben Johnson comes in. He's this offensive mastermind, Ben Johnson.
That's not his guy. He wasn't around when the Bears
brought in Tyson Beajent. Ben Johnson came in and fell
in love with Tyson Beajen. It's because the way Tyson
(24:56):
Beagent plays, the way he's been on the field in
preseason looking like an NFL starter, the way he is
behind the scenes, the way he works his work ethic.
It is every the thing you tell your kids about.
It is everything you love about football. It's a great story.
It's a great American tale. I cannot be too over
the top about Tyson Bage and the fact that the
Bears just signed him. When you have Caleb Williams, the
guy who's the number one overall, pick out a usc
(25:19):
nil guy and this could not be more of a
different person in the room. And when you have Caleb Williams,
you think you'd want to put some sort of seasoned,
grizzled veteran as the number two. The Bears like Beijing
so much, they're like, sign them, we don't want to
lose them. He's a fantastic asset to us. And I
just can't say enough. This guy should have been a
punchline about his father's arm wrestling stuff and we have
some laughs and I'll never hear from him again. Now
(25:40):
he has a future, Now he has a story, and
all of us. He has a really really big fan.
Tyson beajent awesome, awesome stuff. Very happy for you, absolutely,
Tyson Bajor.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
Congratulations brother. I'm my feeling when I got to my
second contract, So congratulation to you and your faily akb.
You hit it run on the nail man. I think
it says so much about the guy, not just from
a talent perspective, but just the character building of who
he is It's like you said, man, you have a
Caleb Williams quarterback, former number one pick that kind of
a little bit struggle last year. You would think that
you were going to get some type of veteran presence
(26:10):
in there behind him. And what is the new coaching
staff that comes in and an entire new coaching staff
comes in in Ben Johnson and he literally signs an
undrafted kid from a Division two school to a contract extension.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
I think it says.
Speaker 11 (26:22):
Nothing but wonders in worlds about Tyson Beaje. So congratulations brother,
How awesome is that?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
So great?
Speaker 7 (26:27):
How awesome is that? Like I haven't even seen people
who signed hundred million dollar contracts that had that much emotion,
Like how awesome is that? And I also think what's
cool is this shout out to not only Tyson but
his dad, Travis, because I had no idea that that
that's what their story was. And that's so important to
me because so many people will go around like telling
about their story and how hell I had it hard
(26:47):
and all of this stuff. When you watch Tyson and
Travis Beijing on that Hard Knocks episode, and how happy
they are and they're how kind they are and enthusiastic
about life and grateful and cheering for his son in
the stands. You would never know that that's the background
they came from. And so shout out to him, Shout
out to the entire family because they kept out on
the wraps, they went throughout their business, did their thing,
(27:09):
and now he gets assigned a two year, ten million
dollar deal for the Chicago Bears. I couldn't be more
happy for him and his family. You know, that's such
a great, great example for people to learn from.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
Wonderful story, wonderful human everything we love about it. I
have to say, I hope we do not see him
play a single snap this year, not one snap, not
even in a Bear's blowout. I can mister Beijing, the
Beijing family, I love you guys. Now be on the
sideline and help the team. That's what we are, it said.
Everybody wants enjoy it though, well said Kyle.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
It's a good point and it's been quite the journey.
But we can't wait to watch it. Within certain parameters,
I guess put some put some stipulation, some guardrails on it.
Tyson Beajent, congratulations once again, good mon football,
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Welcome back to Good Morning Football. Take a look at
your next Netflix binge. If that poster doesn't screen drama,
history and entertainment, then get your eyes checked. I can't
help you. It's America's team, the Gambler and his Cowboys,
and then you can stream it today on Netflix. The
new eight part docu series chronicles Jerry Jones and the
Cowboys impact on NFL history.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Take a look at a clip in nineteen eighty nine.
I get this call and I said, your dad wants
you to call him at home. I called Dad and
then he goes, what would you think about moving to Dallas?
And I go what when Dad had called? And at
first we thought he was crazy.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Then he said, doing this, we'll take absolutely everything we have.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
You need to know that. And here I am nineteen
years old, Charlotte, you know twenty two, Stephen twenty.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Five, felt like we were just kids. Told my dad
I don't know anything about running a professional football team,
and he looked me dead in the eye and he said,
neither do I.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And look at them now, no, seriously, look at her now.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Because Charlotte Jones.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
So you just saw in the clip our friend of
the show, co owner and chief brand officer of the
Cowboys is joining us on Good Morning Football.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Let's hope.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
Charlotte.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
UT so excited. This is awesome, doing great. Thank you
for having me on.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Absolutely so, Charlotte. I saw you last week at the
premiere of this unprecedented access to this team of this
documentary by Netflix. The perspective and the storytelling that what
people will watch is truly remarkable. When we go back
and look at that clip there we are at the party.
It's lovely to see you.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Uh, what is one thing you and I had this
conversation actually right there at that table that we took
that picture at. What is the one thing that your
dad didn't know when he brought Dallas football into your family.
How did you guys navigate that experience because, as you
said it, you guys were flying blind as a group.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yes, you know, I have such a vivid memory of
that day. You know, they say when traumatic things happened
to you, you never forget them, and that day was
one of them. And I just remember him telling us,
and it really is the only time he has ever
underestimated something that he has said. And he told us,
you know, if I do this, this just may change
(02:48):
our life a little. And then all we went on
this incredible journey of being involved with this iconic franchise.
And I think even at that moment, as passionate as
my dad was about wanting to be involved with the Cowboys,
that we truly didn't get the magnitude of what we
(03:09):
were stepping into. And I think, boy, you know, I
know when I watched the first episode, I was almost
sick at my stomach and I had a little like DSDH.
That was like a really really really difficult time. And
you know, since then, it's like all of these incredible
(03:30):
opportunities have been cloaked in like dramatic challenge and how
you know, how we sifted through all all of the
the rough stuff to bring about what has been so
positive about this experience. And I think this docu series
really shows that it takes you back in time, so
you feel all of the you feel all the hatred,
(03:53):
you feel, you know, all the passion, which you know,
oddly enough, it's it's you know, you want people to
be passionate about Dallas Cowboys. So all the it's love,
and it's and it's anger, and it's excitement, and it's
all these things, and we start day one and revisit
all of that.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Hi, Charlotte, I know it's been a tremendous, tremendous journey
for you and your family. Has been amazing for us
to see. I know it's different for you guys to
have lived it. But this piece on Netflix is called
the Gambler for a reason because Jerry, well, he wasn't
afraid to take risks outside of buying the team. In
your eyes, what's the biggest risk that he.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Took, do you know? I think it's like every day
has been the risk. First, you know, was the financial
risk because clearly he didn't really have the revenue to
back up the purchase. And I think this is what's
so interesting about the story because I think today's world,
you see new ownership come in with different leagues, different teams,
(04:51):
and they have an established you know, success and net
worth that they're coming in and being a part of
something that they love. This was very different for us
because it was everything that we had. There was no
opportunity for a failure. You had to figure out how
to make it work, and I think that everyday heartbeat
(05:12):
of we're losing thirty five thousand dollars a day, we're
losing this money, how you stop that bleeding? And how
do we then become successful on the field. And so
both of those were running parallel to each other, so
feeling kind of that drama of every day. So every
decision was a risk. So buying the team was a risk.
(05:33):
Trading Hershel Walker was a risk. Carrie Johnson was a risk.
I mean, he had never coached in the NFL, and here,
you know, he dropped in to this situation. So it
was almost like every single decision that was made was risky.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
That's such a great answer, and I totally buy into it,
you know, Charlotte. I had this experience recently where I
got to sit with Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin and
watch one of the old games from the nineties together,
And this was from the ninety five season in which
Barry Switzer was the coach, and yet I found that
Emma and Earth just constantly kept saying Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.
It felt in so many ways like he had such
(06:11):
a looming presence over the organization. It's a big part
of the documentary. Of course, when you look back at
Jimmy Johnson at his time with the Cowboys and the
end of it, what do you remember.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Oh boy, I remember that We all we could think
of is well, thank goodness, we've got Jimmy, he can
get it here. It help us figure out how, you know,
what we're doing and what is happening. And there were
so many parts of the story back then of the
puzzle because the game was very, very different back then.
You know, there was there was no free agency, the
(06:46):
draft was different. You know, how you acquired players were
different there, you know, just there there was no cap,
you know, all those things, and then actually turning around
to make the players be successful, how could you do that?
And who who was going to actually be on the field,
all of those decisions. You know, you were just so
grateful that someone was equally as passionate as you were
(07:09):
about what we were doing. And you know, every step
was filled with such controversy that you know, when Jimmy
came in, we were all fighting the controversy together, and
so he was being heavily criticized. My father was being
heavily criticized everything we did had that scrutiny to it,
and you know, you want people to be passionate about
(07:33):
what you do. But man, were they passionate about all
of it? And we enjoy that, you know today. I
mean that's kind of the you know, you don't get
here without challenge, and that's that's also an added motivation.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
I think, Hey, Charlotte, look, I was lucky enough to
be a cowboy in nineteen ninety four and one of
the best years of my life. First class organization all
the way, and trust me, coming from Detroit, no disrespect,
it was night and day. But during that time there
were larger than life personalities on that team. Michael Troy
(08:10):
Emmett you mentioned, Jimmy, how did your dad handle all
of those personalities?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I'll have to say this. When we were watching this
come about and they would send us the episode, we
got to the end of one of them and my
dad looked at me and he goes, man, I forgot
how big of a challenge.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
We were seeing things for the first time too as
they hit in this episode, and things we did not remember,
things that you chose to forget, you know, all of
those things that were wrapped up in this it's like
peeling the onion back and remembering, like, oh my gosh,
that really was going on at the same time, all
of this was happening. And I think, you know what's
super interesting about this and is for everybody to kind
(08:59):
of decipher, is, you know, every team has a character
on their team, and the fact that these characters and
these teams became larger than live it's like, how how
did that actually happen? And that you know, the tag
of America's team came around back for Roger stahlback. You know,
(09:20):
I feel like everybody was just trying to keep up
with the tradition of what the Cowboys did for and
then they had this incredible spotlight, so everything they did
was under a microscope. Thank goodness, we didn't have any
social media effect. I don't think you have the team
would have on social media. So you think about, you know,
(09:42):
all these clips that we were seeing of old news
clips that are in this documentary, we didn't even see
all of that because unless you were sitting in front
of the television, you missed it. Sure, unless you got
that paper, you missed it. And so for it all
to come back and to be kind of piled on
top of each other. It's been a journey to watch
(10:03):
it again but also realize, like, man, we survived that.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Yes, it is incredible. I've been able to see some
of it and I was immediately just drawn in. I
just put the remote down and watch. It's fantastic part
of the intrigue Charlotte, and it's part of the drama
over the decades sometimes manifests in these contractual standoffs with
star players. I remember all the way back to EMMITTT.
Smith missing games, and it's just part of what happens
(10:31):
with the company that brings us to Micah Parsons.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Now.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
A lot of fans look at something like this and
they roll their eyes, some of them laugh, and some
of them say, oh, Jerry loves this stuff. He does
it part of for the attention. That's how they feel
about it. How do you feel about Micah and just
this Cowboys contractual standoff thing that happens all the time?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It seems you know, it does happen all the time.
And then again, I think that's a testament to people's
interest that whatever we are doing, there are other contract
holds outs. You know, across the league. Everyone deals with
the same issue. We just happen to be on this
stage of interest that is more magnified than most. So
(11:18):
every little hiccup, every little sneeze is blown up and
blown out of proportion, and you know, discussed at a
level that it's probably you know, above and beyond where
most teams experience it. And so for me, as I
sit back and look at it, I think we've developed
over time the ability to kind of tune out the
(11:39):
noise and just focus on, you know, the issue at hand.
And obviously, you know, everybody wants this to be over with,
everybody wants to just play the game. But there is
a part of this that is unavoidable, and that's with
any kind of contract negotiation. And I do think that
(11:59):
you know, we have, you know, this incredible roster of talent.
They're at a very high level, they are being compensated
at a very high level, and at the end of
the day, you realize that when the pie is gone,
there's nothing left. So how do you spread that around
to all the talent that you have? And at some
point that becomes you know, the iceberg that's right there,
(12:23):
that is creates the tension, and how do you divvy
that up and there's you know, I think it's just
part of the game. I think it's the business part
of the game that fans don't enjoy, but the ability
to like feed in and want to be Everybody wants
to be a Monday Morning quarterback, but they also want
to be a Monday Morning GM and they know you
(12:45):
know everything and this is this is part of it.
This is this is life, This is life in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Well, Charlotte, I think if I were you, I could
not be more proud of my title with this team
because as a brand, it is one of the most
notorious in sports and in the country and the world,
and that as the chief brand officer. Congratulations to you
on everything you've built in your You're there and honestly
on both documentaries that are out on Netflix, because I
know you have a first hand involvement in America Sweetheart,
(13:12):
which we just found out is being renewed for a
third season. We love having you on. But first and foremost,
if you're gonna binge wock anything, it's America's team.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
We know you do.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Kyle the Gambler and it's Cowboys, Charlotte Jones, everybody. We'll
see you on Netflix. We'll go watch this today and
we'll follow up with Charlotte on Thanksgiving as we always do.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Great to see you, Charlotte, Great to see y'all.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
Goodbye, bye, good football, Good football.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Thirty eight Nothing Bears the Final. This is a great
night for Caleb Williams.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Kyle.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I did have just had to do my own Olamide
Zikias from Virginia just to make sure I understood the
history for that player. And we all know ky Wi Williams
from USC didn't suit up week one of the preseason.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Well week two he did.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
And I got to go to Rodney first because I
just said uttered USC and immediately you're just like I
got to talk about kill Williams.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
Would Jake Man Tai here too.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
You can look to your right.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Can't help me involuntary responses. What I have here. I
thought it was fantastic. I'm with you, Kyle. Not quite
to the Super Bowl parade yet, but I love the
fact that he was on time, in rhythm, and because
that was enough right that he held the ball too long.
I can mentioned sack sixty four times last year, most
in the NFL, but every throw was in rhythm. He
(14:47):
hit the back put he let it go. He looked
very comfortable, very comfortable in the pocket, and you know,
there was a tremendous amount of pressure on him to
start this game, given all the talk in the training
camp and him not performing well throwing interceptions and all
those things. But to come out firing on that first
d like he did, I thought it was fantastic.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Yeah, Brodney, I think it was fantastic, not only by him,
but by Ben Johnson. You started to see this system
implemented that Ben Johnson wants to run with him. To
your point, you said the ball came out when his
back foot hit the grass. That's something that's different from
last year. I think last year they were requiring him
to go through a progression that it wasn't set up
where this year, when I looked at the plays, all
(15:28):
of his progression was in his line of sight. Like
his first rd, his secondary and his third read were
all in the same area. So it made it simple
for him to be able to execute. For the Chicago Bears,
I did think that it was a little early. I
thought they pulled them a little early. I thought, if anything,
they would have pulled them after the first drive where
they drove down there and scored that touchdown. Now the
second drive they go six plays and a punt. I
(15:51):
expected him to come back out just so that they
could finish on a more positive note. But what I
did see from that Bears offense was this, like you
saw in the highlight that KB talked about, there's a
lot of tight end utilage there. Tight end usage like
it was just comet and the guy from Michigan disty.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
You see guy here?
Speaker 7 (16:12):
What are we talking about on Well, it was warm
and fuzzy for the Chicago Bears, that's for sure. And
I really thought that the way that Ben Johnson had
this offense, just how quick it was. There was a
pace from when they broke the huddle. There was an
urgency to get to the line of scrimmage. There wasn't
any kind of shuffling around. There was a system to it,
and I really liked it. KB listen mantis all over it.
(16:35):
So if you didn't watch the game, Caleb played two drives.
The second one ended prematurely, at least for Bears fans,
not in no small parts of the fact that Roma
Dunes they had a big drop on the far sideline,
a drop that Caleb took responsibility for even though we all.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Know that wasn't true, which is fine.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
The headline here is Caleb and Ben Johnson look smooth,
They look efficient, they.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Look comfortable, they looked good.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Let's let's put this in proper context. This is the
first time Caleb has ever played on an NFL field
without an interim coach or an ill suited coach with
like a proper coach to his skills. The last time
he played a game, it was seven months ago. He
was with his third coordinator, his second head coach. He's
in Lambeau Field, winning, by the way, but this has
been a long time coming. And listen, he hit both
(17:19):
tight ends. He hit the wide receivers. He hit the
wide receiver one, went to the wide receiver, two, went
to wide receiver three. It's something you can need.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
It was smooth.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Getting the play in and out of the huddle was smooth.
Everything was on time. They're trotting up to the line
of scrimmage with tons of time on the play clock,
and some of you winning teams, winning fans of winning
teams are like, what the heck? They get the playout
on time. Yes, it's a big deal that the Bear's
got the playout on time. Give them credit. It's baby steps.
You gotta crawl before you can run, and he definitely
(17:48):
crawled yesterday. Now listen, I will say this.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
For Bills fans.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
There was nobody really out there, say for maybe two
or three guys out of twenty two, who are guys
who are gonna matter for the Bills this year? Sean
McDermott did not play really anybody on offense, on defense,
true true backups that the Bears ones we're going against.
So that's why I was thirty eight to nothing. None
of us care about the score. We care about what
we're watching right here. And I will end by saying,
(18:16):
there's this person out there, this character in the preseason
who is who will just scrooge anything positive or happy
that you have to say about what happens on a
football field. It's such an annoying Internet character because for
that person, this is the same person who's making fun
of Caleb a few weeks ago. Understand the laws right
now in the NFL preseason August twenty twenty five, if
(18:36):
someone doesn't look great in practice, they're a bust. But
if someone makes plays in an actual preseason.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Game, whoa chill out.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
It's just preseason. It means nothing. Learn ball. This is useless.
You gotta pick one. You can't have both. I know
you want to, but you can't. Caleb looks smooth. The
Bears look fine. We'll see how they look on that
same field opening night against the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Well, Kyle, to your point, Caleb Williams rose to the occasion.
Whatever standard in which you set upon the ok that
is preseason football brought me.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I'll ask you.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
We were spending time last week on in inspecting the
things that Ben Johnson was saying about what he had
put forth in front of Cale Williams, which is I
am going to load him up. I'm going to put
a lot of things on him. I really want to
make challenge him to see what he can do with
that in terms of his skill set. What did you
make of the responsibility that this new head coach, first
time head coach, has put on this quarterback and the
(19:27):
way that Cale Williams has responded.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
I thought it was a good thing because you got
to find out what he can do. You got to
find out what his capacity is to load and decipher information,
and to put that much on him early on it
makes sense because Caleb's got a world of talent. We
all saw that at SC and then his first year
he struggled, and I think he got into a little
(19:49):
bit of bad habits. Yeah, his last year at USC,
tried to play a little bit of hero ball and
trying to do too much and holding the ball a
little longer. That doesn't work in the NFL. We saw
last year in his rookie season and ended up with
sixty plus sacks. So I thought it was good. And
Ben Johnson, he's he's quarterback friendly, as we like to
say as quarterbacks. He really is. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
You talked about those those habits, and this is what
I talked about as well when you watch Caleb, and
I thought that it was going to be a challenge
for Ben Johnson. Probably the most important challenge is trying
to reprogram Caleb like somebody who has all of that talent,
arm talent, smart can add lib on the run when
you get set, when you get sack sixty eight times,
and you get into this habit of trying to run
(20:31):
around and extend plays that Ben Johnson had to come
into the locker room and say, hey, like take the
first read if the read is throw it away. Like,
just get him on a system and on a pace
where he can just be on point. There's no there's
no need to run around, there's no need to extend plays.
Just get the ball to the receiver. If it's not there,
throw it away. And I thought that Caleb really demonstrated
(20:53):
that last night.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
I think one of the most the most amusing observations
from Bears Twitter last night is that Ben Johnson is
some sort of sociopath. He's up thirty eight to nothing
at home and he's not even smiling, like on the
cutaways of him on the sideline are dead serious, no levity,
no relief whatsoever. Let's remember, like we're talking so much
about Caleb, Caleb is way more experienced at his job
(21:17):
than Ben Johnson, isn't his Caleb has a year under
his belt. This was like positively, this look was amused.
This was like one of his most happiest looks we
saw at thirty eight to nothing. Ben Johnson has never
called plays during a game. To Caleb, he's never been
the head coach. Saved for a preseason game last week,
and I thought what Caleb said after the game was
(21:37):
really interesting. All the Bears media was asking him what
was coach Johnson like during the game, what was he like?
And Caleb said, he's way calmer during the games than
he is during practice when he's on to me in
the headset. In practice, it's a lot of yelling and
volume and energy. In the game, it was just smooth
and calm.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
That is unusual.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
He should be amped. He's in front of the home crowd,
He's got Caleb out there. I think this is a
different kind of guy. Will it work or not, we'll see.
But he does have that like my pulse doesn't bounce.
A fly could land on my eyeball, and when Caleb's
out there, I'm not even gonna blink.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I like that.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
It's icy as hell, and I think there's going to
be more of a coming.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Good moan football, Good moaning football.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Back on GMFB. This was really really special news. Yesterday,
Tyson Beagent signs a two year, ten million dollar contract
extension with the Chicago Bears. He has been a presence
in the quarterback room for the Bears. This keeps Pagent
in Chicago through twenty twenty seven. This, of course, according
to rap Sheet, Tyson Beagent comes to the NFL a
(22:57):
couple of years back from division to Shepherd University, which
means that achieving this in his young career is something
that took some emotion.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Yeah, I think that, you know, a lot of people
don't know this, but you know, my dad is my
he's my right hand man, and he didn't he didn't
have running water until he was in high school. So
there's definitely a lot of things that and people that
I could that I think I could certainly help with
(23:34):
this gift I've been blessed with. But yeah, just little
things like that. But you know, I don't really know
anybody back at home with any money.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
So yeah, it feels good.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
I mean, it's certainly a weight off my shoulders and
my family's shoulders, and yeah, it definitely means a lot.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
First of all, congratulations to Tyson and his family. Incredible
emotion behind a true career accomplishment. Kyle, Uh, this one
hits with us because this kid is a front of
the show, his dad is a front of the show.
We've loved watching him develop and now the Bears have
invested in him.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, I mean, this is what it's all about.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
This is an incredible, incredible football story. If you don't
care about the Bears backup quarterback. This is the human being,
all right. Grew up oldest of four children, very very poor.
As you just mentioned there sometimes West Virginia, no big
time college offers, goes FCS recruiting, goes to Shepherd University
in West Virginia. Makes the Bears roster in the final
(24:35):
fifty three as a rookie fights his way up to
second string in his first ever career start. When Justin
Fields got hurt, he won. Bears quarterbacks don't do that.
And the party was supposed to be over because then
Ben Johnson comes in. He's this offensive mastermind, Ben Johnson.
That's not his guy. He wasn't around when the Bears
brought in Tyson Beajent. Ben Johnson came in and fell
in love with Tyson Beajen. It's because the way Tyson
(24:56):
Beagent plays, the way he's been on the field in
preseason looking like an NFL starter, the way he is
behind the scenes, the way he works his work ethic.
It is every the thing you tell your kids about.
It is everything you love about football. It's a great story.
It's a great American tale. I cannot be too over
the top about Tyson Bage and the fact that the
Bears just signed him. When you have Caleb Williams, the
guy who's the number one overall, pick out a usc
(25:19):
nil guy and this could not be more of a
different person in the room. And when you have Caleb Williams,
you think you'd want to put some sort of seasoned,
grizzled veteran as the number two. The Bears like Beijing
so much, they're like, sign them, we don't want to
lose them. He's a fantastic asset to us. And I
just can't say enough. This guy should have been a
punchline about his father's arm wrestling stuff and we have
some laughs and I'll never hear from him again. Now
(25:40):
he has a future, Now he has a story, and
all of us. He has a really really big fan.
Tyson beajent awesome, awesome stuff. Very happy for you, absolutely,
Tyson Bajor.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
Congratulations brother. I'm my feeling when I got to my
second contract, So congratulation to you and your faily akb.
You hit it run on the nail man. I think
it says so much about the guy, not just from
a talent perspective, but just the character building of who
he is It's like you said, man, you have a
Caleb Williams quarterback, former number one pick that kind of
a little bit struggle last year. You would think that
you were going to get some type of veteran presence
(26:10):
in there behind him. And what is the new coaching
staff that comes in and an entire new coaching staff
comes in in Ben Johnson and he literally signs an
undrafted kid from a Division two school to a contract extension.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
I think it says.
Speaker 11 (26:22):
Nothing but wonders in worlds about Tyson Beaje. So congratulations brother,
How awesome is that?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
So great?
Speaker 7 (26:27):
How awesome is that? Like I haven't even seen people
who signed hundred million dollar contracts that had that much emotion,
Like how awesome is that? And I also think what's
cool is this shout out to not only Tyson but
his dad, Travis, because I had no idea that that
that's what their story was. And that's so important to
me because so many people will go around like telling
about their story and how hell I had it hard
(26:47):
and all of this stuff. When you watch Tyson and
Travis Beijing on that Hard Knocks episode, and how happy
they are and they're how kind they are and enthusiastic
about life and grateful and cheering for his son in
the stands. You would never know that that's the background
they came from. And so shout out to him, Shout
out to the entire family because they kept out on
the wraps, they went throughout their business, did their thing,
(27:09):
and now he gets assigned a two year, ten million
dollar deal for the Chicago Bears. I couldn't be more
happy for him and his family. You know, that's such
a great, great example for people to learn from.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
Wonderful story, wonderful human everything we love about it. I
have to say, I hope we do not see him
play a single snap this year, not one snap, not
even in a Bear's blowout. I can mister Beijing, the
Beijing family, I love you guys. Now be on the
sideline and help the team. That's what we are, it said.
Everybody wants enjoy it though, well said Kyle.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
It's a good point and it's been quite the journey.
But we can't wait to watch it. Within certain parameters,
I guess put some put some stipulation, some guardrails on it.
Tyson Beajent, congratulations once again, good mon football,
