Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now around the sports KTD queens as.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
All the sports.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Yes, Yes, the Cowboys anal state of the team addressed
annual State of the Team address yesterday, Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones,
Brian Schottenheimer, and then Tad the PR guy, and then
the media members I wanted to play and the five
o'clock hour we'll get to all the stuff that involves
Micah and Micah's contract stuff, because a big theme of
(00:32):
yesterday was that Micah went on the Undertaker podcast last week, Yes,
the Wrestler of the Undertaker and kind.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Of did a little business there.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And then the Cowboys are kind of negotiating through the
media as well. We'll get to that later. I wanted
to pull just the first question because you'll get a
little bit of the Stephen Jones iconic.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Laugh here a brawl outside. Wait, I clicked on something else.
There we go.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Tyler's one of the most intelligent guys in the NFL,
and if he's thinking that way, I'll go right along
with him.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
But that's all I need is just a little bit
off Mike Steven because they it's like, you know, Tyler
Smith made comments like the goals win Super Bowl. That's
all it is, and of course first takes like a
big story and spent twenty minutes on it, like, no,
it's nothing. It's literally a fart in the wind, It's all.
It was so that I said, do you have a
Super Bowl roster?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Jerry and Biler's one of the most intelligent guys in
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And I love it. I love Steven laughing.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
So they find Trayvon Diggs because Trevon Diggs did not
his off season workout program was in Florida, kind of
did his own thing.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
We expect a player paid like Treva on to be
here all the time. We expect him to be leading.
It's important to have the right body language in every respect.
When you are one of those rare, financially paid and
gifted players, you've got to have some leadership about you.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
But the de escalation is contraction spelled out.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
So he understood when he decided he was going to
train in South Florida, he understood what would.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Be that what the consequences would be.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That's that said it towards a divorce. And dude, I
don't have a problem with what the Cowboys are saying.
If you can't pay everybody a ton of money, and
if you're going to pay a guy, you expect that
he'll be around. Like, if he's not, that's fine. I mean,
it's a deteriorating relationship. Look what happened with Luca and
the Mavericks. If you can't get on the same page
with the training staff and you're not all moving in
(02:37):
the same direction and two sides don't trust each other
and the organization's paying you a ton of money, that
has a chance to go really south fast.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah, and you know it's it's just weird because football
is a sport with one hundred percent injury rate.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, they could get out of him after this year
and be fine and only have like five million dead money.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's no dead money. But dude, they they they lost
Jordan Lewis. Dude, Diggs is hurt, and then they drafted
a guy that's hurt, so their their cornerback position is
in trouble.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yeah, they really need that rookie to be healthy for
the first time in a decade.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, but man, I know, I know he's awesome, but.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Man, if you look at that injury rate, wow, they
let's be real here.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I mean, like I think a lot of people writing
it off.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I think it sounds like Treyvon knew he's gonna get fined,
didn't care because he was getting find less than a
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, okay, So.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I also think Trayvon probably knows he's not going to
be a cowboy any long, Right.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I agree, and so he's like, this is it. They
get him back.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But I think there's you cannot count on that guy
being productive here there that is a dysfunctional relationship. You
can't find a guy five hundred grand and think it's
just going to be rosie.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
He may, you know, and he may think, I don't
even need any good film this year. Everyone knows what
I can do. I'll go get paid next year away
from the cowboys. Or maybe he thinks, all right, I
need to come actually show something.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
His body language does suck. Dude, he's very.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
He would be great if you needed a free safety
that didn't tackle. Okay, So you know, just a guide's gambling.
You know, let's get one more before we slide into
the second part.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Of this shody shotty town.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
You know, Garrett used to have so many mottos, you know,
fighting for our life and finish the fight and six
inches and all that stuff. McCarthy had Mojo moments shady.
Do we have a motto twenty twenty five?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
No, I mean the MODO's gonna always be compete every day.
I mean, that's what we're all about. I've been other
places where there's a theme of the year. I don't
believe in that. I believe in that you should have
a central theme of your program, and that's compete every day.
And again, that's not just on the practice field. That's
in the meeting rooms. It's time away, being smart things
like that.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And all right, so no motto for the twenty twenty
five Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
I do like competing during time away.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
What does he not understand?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Marketing though, I mean, cowboys remarke arm you gotta have
a motto, my dude.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Those are always so corny, and I don't have a
problem with that. It's actually refreshing glad to hear that.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I think everyone else though, in the organizations like my
We've make some T shirts though.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You come up with the motto, dude, let's keep this going.
You got more right, oh plenty?
Speaker 7 (05:16):
All right?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
More Cowboys audio from the official show of Cowboys Camp
to Ben and Skin Show next right here. On The Eagle,
Ben and Skin Show ninety seven point one The Eagle. Obviously,
the biggest story of the day around here on your
Home of Rock is that Ozzy Osbourne has passed away.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
We've been talking about it.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
We're going to talk about it at five point fifteen
during the weekday update, so be listening all day long.
We have some tickets to give away. But we talked
about this a little bit off the top. We'll get
back into it at five point fifteen. Ozzy Osbourne has
passed away at the age of seventy six. We'll get
back into that later, but right now, it's time for
more Cowboys audio.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
What you got there, Katie?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Okay, Yeah, just keeping it moving a little bit because
we talked about Shoddy a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Brian Schottenheimer and the.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Question I want you to know, this whole answer is
like eight minutes long, and I trimmed it up for
radio purposes. The question from Tim Callishaw went a little
like this, Jerry, I loved you on land Man, and
that started some Landman stuff that we'll get to in
a second. But then it was like, are you embarrassed
that you didn't get to an NFC championship game again
and the Washington football team the Commanders did and are
(06:22):
you embarrassed about it? And then it spun off into
talking about Brian Schottenheimer.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
We didn't do well at quarterback last year because Dak
got hurt in my mind, just to show you how
simple it's his for me, and we didn't block him
up very good either past protect or open the holes.
One thing that I'm so optimistic about is the guy
sitting right over there, because the minute the season was over,
we wanted him to have the most influence on the offense.
(06:50):
When I first was thinking about him, I really didn't
think about him being the head coach.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
That's oh my god.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
We didn't think he should be the head coach, but
we did know we wanted him to have the offense,
which means we were all kind of right when we
were guessing this. They wanted McCarthy to be the coach.
They just McCarthy did not want to be the coach.
He couldn't call the plays.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
They wanted McCarthy to be the head coach, but just
be a walk around head coach and then let Shoty
run the offense. So I wonder what that argument was
during the season or whatever. I wonder if there was
friction there, although it was a lost season without Dak.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Can now McCarthy's like, what do you want me to do?
You know so, but they were also like three and
five at the time he got hurt.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I did think about though, about him really being involved
in helping us be a better offensive football team. This
is going to be exciting to see of what a
man that's spent thirty years grew up in this game,
never had a chance to head coach. I'm excited about that,
and I'm proud that he's getting this opportunity. He deserves it.
In my mind, man, that makes me go here this year.
(07:52):
That makes me feel good.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I want to say, like, I think Shoty seemed like
a really nice guy, but he has had an opportunity
to be a head coach. It's by doing better at
your other stops in your NFL.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, if he was, if he had been kicking ass,
somebody would have said, oh my god, we have to
have that guy be our coach. He's super nice guy,
but that doesn't mean Look, he was just the guy
who was closest to the empty office where their head
coach used to sit.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Yep, Jerry just said we weren't even thinking about.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Him as a head coach.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Yeah, the head coach of the Cowboys shouldn't be a
cute story. I mean for him to be man, I'm
excited about this cool story that that shouldn't be the case.
But that's really it just goes to show you just
that's the way the.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Cowboys are running.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
And you know, I maybe I'm giving too much credence
to Steven. I do think that if Jerry wasn't around,
Steven would do things way differently or no, yeah, let
me say I'll say significantly differently. I think there would
be a different approach. But I still think that there's
things that you have to do to acquiesce to Jerry
(08:57):
and things that he believes for an overall scope that
doesn't have to do with just what happens on the
football field.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And really, if you look at it through that lens,
it's been wildly successful. So who's going to tell him
anything different? Right the way Jerry runs it, it's the
most valuable brand in sports. Yes, and that's bigger than
super Bowls.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
That is bigger not to the fans, not to the jansas,
to the joneses to the bottom line to what they're building,
their grandkids, their legacy, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Here's some standard getting older stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I've got to live more in today than I've ever
had to because at old times running out. And that's
just the fact, that's just what it is. So I'm
living for now. We could be anywhere we want to be,
but our assets in right here because we want to be,
because we want to be and be a part of it.
Now that's enough for me, and I have paid the price. Personally,
I don't have any problem justifying when somebody says, well,
(09:48):
do it differently, Why don't you just watch it on TV.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I don't have to.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I've paid too high price in my mind for doing.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What I'm doing. He's not wrong.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Rich people can do it how boys fans nuts. Rich
people can do what they want. That's the world we
live in. Rich people do what they want, and that's
what he's telling you. I've paid the price. I'm a
rich person. I want to be here running this toy,
and you guys are at mercy.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I always think about like people that want him to
fire himself and everything. Think of your own fantasy football team.
Would you just let some consultant come run your fantasy
football team for you, would you get as much.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Joy out of it?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
No, this is his fantasy football team. It's just he's
so rich. It's real life, says John. And I and
I also think, you know, no one's ever going to
do it. It would just for me.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
It doesn't bother me so much because I'm accustomed to
corporate sports. But for me, I just I roll my
eyes when they say, we know that we're just stewards
of this franchise, and I'm just like, man, shut up.
You're a rich guy. You did incredibly well. You're wealthy
or powerful. You're doing what you want with it.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
That's fine, man.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
So I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It was good.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Well, they didn't give me enough time on it. My
best saying was when I was talking to what's his
name Land up here in the bed.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
John Ham. What's his name, John Ham?
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Okay, he can't remember his kischen his name either.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
When I was talking to what's his name Land up
here in the bed, I said, the good news is
that they say you're gonna live, and so don't make
me have to come up here and visit with my
rubber glove and get you out of that bed. Now,
they took that out and I thought it was the
best scene in the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
I thought it was his middle finger. Oh really, Oh
my god.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Not only does not know John Hamm's name, he doesn't
know one of his best players and the guys in
current contract negotiations with we'll get that at five o'clock.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
There you have it.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Oh we'll also get into the passing of Ozzy Osbourne.
We'll do that today at five point fifteen. Don't miss that.
But coming up next in the food News, the most
iconic Texas food bracket is back.
