(00:38):
tweets as.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
All the sports Yes.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
All right, I am doing this instead of KT because
Kat is dead.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
But more on that coming up later.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I heard you the lead, So I want to talk
a little Dallas Cowboys football DFW and this is how
we approach Cowboys content on this dumb show. We're not
gonna break down the game. It's preseason game one. It's
you know, we didn't even really watch that. It's just
that's it's it's not really necessary we'll get into your stuff, though,
we'll get into whether you know, even a significant number
(01:11):
of starters played, who who is responsible for making that decision?
And then a little media fight that spilled out over
that issue exactly. I don't know what they're I don't
know what you could take from the first preseason game
that would inform you too much, Like if there was
like Joe Milton didn't play well Cowboys backup quarterback. He
(01:32):
was real shaky out the gate, but but then got
it together a little bit, he said afterwards. I just
got to settle down. I got a you know, he
was probably a little too excited. He's twenty five. He's
just a football baby, and that dude has he He
is on record saying that he has thrown a ninety
yard pass before he could throw the football ninety yards.
When I read that, what is the first thing he
(01:53):
thought of? When you read that, throw football over the mountains?
I thought of Uncle Rico. I absolutely thought of Uncle Rico.
He did throw an orrange. This is when I really
got on board with Bazooka.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Joe.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
There's footage of him throwing an orange one hundred and
twenty yards or something.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I'm like, Okay, that's the type thing that resonates with me.
That guy's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I look at that as a guy that can launch
food over a border, you know. So it's like, Okay,
there's this horrible encampment over here and people are starving,
we'll have Joe throw fruit to them. Or if you
were in prison and you were friends with him, you
could say, dude, i'm gonna be out in the yard.
Just throw me an orange. Yeah, I'll be about here.
You throw it over the wall. He can create a diversion.
(02:33):
You know. When you're a kid growing up too, for
whatever reason, the idea of throwing something over the roof
of your home comes into play. Yeah, I don't know why.
It's big s the unknown of can you clear it?
And then what happens next?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yea real quick, did y'all know this was on ESPN
two or OCHO or whatever. There's actually a competition of
men throwing football on the roof, like throwing the on
the roof and it comes down like a league competition.
I can't believe, Like we were watching it the other day.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Is it a pitch true? For a flat root? It's
pitched and it's it's awesome. They have all these rules,
they do a league, people do color commentary, crowds watch it.
It's some games, dudes. It's kind of like the South
Park guys made up basket basketball.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's exactly what I.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Was similar to that. These guys came up there, only
when I was a kid. You know, when you're when
you're real little and you think your house is so huge.
You go back to it now as an adult. God, Lean,
that was tiny, and I would always try to throw
football over the roof, and sometimes I could clear it,
sometimes I couldn't. And the most the thing that comes
back to months and while we're talking about Joe Milton,
(03:38):
is one time my brothers and I were in trouble
and my dad had us all doing yard work in
the front yard, and my older brother he said, Uh,
do you do you think you could throw this fire truck?
It was like a bigger than a matchbox or hot wheel,
but not giant, and he's like, do you think you
could throw that over?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Do you think I could throw it?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I can't remember which one of us threw it now,
but he's like, uh, one of us was like, yeah, man,
I can do it, and we threw it over the
roof and it hit our dad after we didn't know,
and so then he was storming around to the He
was storming around to the front of the house, and
whoever didn't throw the first one through another one, And
(04:14):
this one did not go over the middle of the house.
It was like a slice and it went to the
right side of the house where he was and it
also hit him.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Oh, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
He walked to the front. I don't know which one
made his head bleed. His head was bleeding and he
was furious. We both hit him. What are the chances
that is insane? Anyways, speaking of insane, Ceedee Lamb was
almost killed in this game.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
It happens. There was a moment in this.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Game where the Cowboys, I think it was Jonathan Mingo,
had separated from a corner and he was going to
be wide open deep and even before the pass got there,
Ceedee Lamb knew that one of his fellow receivers had
just smoked a corner, so he started celebrating, turned his
back to the play, and started walking down the sideline,
pointing as if to say, got him.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, the ball was wildly.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Underthrown, which doesn't really come into this but uh receiver
had to come back to try to get it, And
so a referee was doing his job running down the sideline.
You're not supposed to stand on the sideline or be
in the way of the referees. They're running down that giant,
thick white stripe and the referee just runs directly into
the back of CD. CD is walking with his running
(05:23):
kind of you know, celebrating with his back turned to
the referee. The referee is in a dead sprint while
he looks back over his left shoulder to watch the
play developing, trying to get in a position to make
the call. And it is a flat out collision. There's
audio of it, and it looked violent and dude, luckily
CD's okay, but that could have ended his season, which
(05:44):
would effectively end the Cowboys entire season. It would have
been tough, and that's you know, okay, So we didn't
even play a starter in the preseason game and he
got hurt. I would have been brutal, But I told you,
Mingo is gonna be huge. I mean, that move proved everything. Yes,
this also reminds me of so So he did so
many wild ass things. He got arrested at an airport
for smuggling a gun. He ate a hot dog on
(06:05):
the sideline. But dude, Barry Switzer got tangled up with
Dion Sanders in a playoff game on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Remember that was it when Dion was a cowboy? Or
was when he was a Niner?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Oh? I think he was a Niner and was trying
to cover Michael Irvin and it was penalty.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
It's just God, the Switcher era amazing.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
All right, there you have And there's an Oklahoma tie
in there too. There you have it. Ceedee, Lamb's gonna
be okay though, all right?
