Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ninety seven point one. The Eagle, a flesh eating screwworm
is coming for that ass. We got the details at
the bottom of the hour, but right now it's time
for this.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Now is around the sports KTD tweets as all the sports.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yes, so there's a guy on Twitter. His name's Ricky
Scoops and uh he is not. It's very weird because
he puts out a lot of trade rumors and sometimes
he hits on him and sometimes it's so specific you're like, Okay,
he called this ten days ago, and it's the specific
contract numbers that he said. It's not just some guy guessing.
(00:40):
He has some connections and he had dabbled around with
the idea that Micah might get traded to the Packers.
Here's what he tweeted last night. I'd say, yesterday afternoon,
the Packers have a trade on the table with Cowboys
for Michael Parsons with a new contract worth forty five
million dollars per year.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
What are those numbers again?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Forty five million dollars per for how many years? Does
it say?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Okay, he's saying the Cowboys have that on the table.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Now, that's what this guy says. This guy's been wrong
many times too. No one ever talks about it when
he's wrong. They only talk about it when he's right.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Jerry said that the and I don't. I guess this
was the Michael Irvin thing. I saw this on that
they offered Micah the most guaranteed money of any non
quarterback in football.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I mean, which forty would get you there too, so
not forty five. It doesn't sound like something green Bay
would do either. Green Bay is very pretty protective of
their salary cap. They don't do a lot of free
agent moves and things like that that would be very
aggressive and strange if they did that. I will to
say green Bay did push out their president who is
the owner, because he's seventy and they have a rule
(01:45):
you once you're seventy, they get a new guy.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
The guy they elected is Ed Policy, the son of
Carmen Policy, who is featured heavily in the Cowboys documentary.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
So they are dunking all over the way that we
do our elections well.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And also they're kind of Ed Policy, who sent Jerry
Charles Haley back in the day like it is, I mean,
his dad did it, like it is kind of interesting. Yeah,
I mean this would be like, this would put Green
Bay over the top if they got Michael Parsons.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
This is the Charles Haley trade in reverse.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
But the draft picks that is fascinating. The draft picks
wouldn't be good because they're going to be a contender.
They're gonna be late first round picks, right, So what
do they have anything else?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Are?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
They have a ridiculous depth at any position where they
could spice it up with a young player.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Offensive line wide receiver, not so much on defense. Off
it's a line wide receiver.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I don't want your wide receivers. Bro, we have a
bunch of good ones. I'm good. Off it's line starting
tack Well, I can do that for you. They have
three starting tackles. Okay, but you guys got to take
Terrence Steel back. He's good. He needs to figured it
out here. Uh So, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Do you do?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
What is your gut instinct? No, that's not gonna happen. Okay,
that's my gun.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Now, So what do you make of him? Micah leaving
at DFW airport today and Jane s later said he's
going off to get a second opinion on his back.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Got to go get a doctor's note because he doesn't
want to be around for practice today, maybe tomorrow, well.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Till Friday, till Friday. Okay, what is your dong instead? Yeah,
then I don't know what he's doing. Then maybe his
back's really messed up.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I mean, dude, your back would be messed up if
you laid on the training table that way.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, it was the worst posture he got him that
he strained his back was bad. Just actively acting like
a ten year old.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It just goes to a new level if he will
not play for the twenty four million he's supposed to
make this year. If he refuses to play and fakes
an injury, then this is way worse than anyone ever imagined.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah, and this is what the Cowboys want. The Cowboys
want you to come to their side of. Oh, Mike
is being a little baby on the sideline and he
doesn't want to. I just I can't get there here,
because they could have done this deal a long ass
time ago when Michael was making comments.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Last ye.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Pay for this much and you guys can sign some
more players, like Michael knows how the league works, and
say he's a savvy businessman, but he knows how it works.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
They definitely botched it. But he's under contract this year
to play and he's gonna play well. Sound if he's
trying to fake this back injury even further, I don't
think he.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Is, which you know, that could be a yeah, that
could be the next I would love to have five
minutes room with David Mulgoletta and be like, hey, David,
I know your name. Jerry Jones says he doesn't know
your name, so we can talk now, David Mogletta. I
would if he would just lay out their strategy here.
I'm I love to know what that is, because we
(04:40):
know what Jerry's move is.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I have leverage.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I don't have to do anything. I can just sit here.
They're gonna lose games.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
They're gonna lose.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Games with Micah probably, so like what we're talking about
Opening Night, no one's giving the Cowboys a chance to
win Opening Night.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I absolutely think they could win on Opening Night. I
think you're going undefeated.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Great if Michael was there for that. I do think
they're gonna make the playoffs. I really did, But I
just don't understand why we're not trying to. When you
watch episode eight of this documentary that we'll discuss tomorrow
that part of it tomorrow. It's even more frustrating because
it's like you're saying how bad you want to win it,
and you don't follow up those actions, so that meaning
(05:17):
I can never believe a thing you say ever, and
it makes you get a little more excited for when
Steven runs things because I think you'll do it right.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You know what's interesting is in that previous episode where
Aikman says that he Jerry was learning football on his watch,
I think you can make the argument that.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
He never actually learned it. Maybe not, Like they're kind
of just doing the same crap over and over.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
So none of this is good news. Also bad news
for the Rangers if all the is out for the
rest of the year. Some people say maybe he could
come back for the World Series or whatever.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Maybe it's regardless.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
He was on his way to potentially win in the
cy Young It absolutely sucks and it breaks my heart
that they couldn't get their offense going this year year
because I really feel like this is the end of
the road for this team. Like you already want a championship.
That's great, but at some point I hate to say it,
But some of these contracts are starting to look untradeable,
(06:15):
and you're painted into a corner with guys who are
getting older and who are making a ton of money.
And you got over the hump that one time with him.
But eventually the Rangers are gonna go back to their
old ways and say cut payroll, cut payroll, cut payroll.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And I think it's about to be bad for the
Rangers for like a long time. How many more years
does de Gram have?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
It's only one, two more years, two more after this,
twenty three years y're resigning. Interesting, Evaldi has two more
years left, So hypothetically you could talk yourself into I've
got de Grom and Evaldi for two more years.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
I have Seeger and Simeon. We're gonna keep going. I
think I forged your head.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I get that, But I think the smarter thing to do,
especially if your payroll is gonna get squeezed, would be
to trade any of those guys you can get picked
and rebuild.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And the wild card here, man, we're only about four
and a half games out.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
How many are left? Six twenty eight games? Yep, yep?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I think Newburgh ro today? Can they win nineteen of
twenty eight. Absolutely, they can.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
They can.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
They haven't really exhibited that they would be able to
do that this year, but they can.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
All Right, there you have it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
There's a round of the sports coming up next in
the weekly weekday update, the flesh eating parasite that's on
its way to Texas. You need to know about this.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
