Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fella, come ony. Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
So, uh Jerry Jones did his interview as he as
he will do on the fan this morning and uh
so after the game of the night Mike's postgame press conference.
They didn't touch too much on his time with the Cowboys,
but they did talk about uh he did say something
about that all the emotions for him went away the

(00:41):
minute they traded him. He says, I didn't even get
to talk to my owner, the person that drafted me.
I found out through my agent. So to me, that
emotion side was pointless because the same way he called
me into his office as a man, he couldn't tell
me as a man. Okay. So that's what he said.
So they brought that up to Jerry this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
He said that after the game.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, yeah, okay, because they's been bardining with questions about it.
He said it multiple times, but again after the game,
and they asked Jerry this morning that on the fan,
and he said, I really don't want to respond to
that at all. But that phone call thing got stopped
when he told me to take his number off my dial.
I just don't call him anymore, so I quit those calls.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Wow, And that sounds that sounds personal, Like I thought,
maybe it might have been the agent saying, hey, stop
reaching out to my client directly talk to me. He's saying,
Micah personally said take take my number out your phone.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
And you know what that could have been to Like,
we're getting into this semantic thing which happened a lot
in the middle of their deal.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
But it could be.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
That Micah was saying, don't It could have been like
before he was traded, and Micah was saying, don't holler
at me anymore, talk to my agent. Yeah, take my
number out your phone and whatever. Like, I think it's
clear that's how that was going.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
You know, I don't think Micah got traded and then
hit up Jerry and said take my name out.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Who would think that. I don't think that's even a possibility. Yeah,
I probably not.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
No, I can't imagine that being a thing, just another
Don't you think Jerry's kind of leaving it out there
a way?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yes, it's another example of Jerry having the power to
light the world on.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
I think he's just saying, uh, yeah, this got I
did a deal with him directly, he agreed to it.
Then he went back to his agent kept trying to negotiate.
I'm like, no, we're not doing that. Tried to have relationship,
kept talking to him. He told me to take his
number out my phone. So it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Jerry loves the ambiguity.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Jerry was also asked about, you know, George Pickens and
all that stuff, and he like the future, potential future
for George Pickens and douse George Pickens for those that
don't know. As a free agent, the cow was traded
for a win so far, but you know he could
sign elsewhere possibly.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
God, he was a good Sunday.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Jerry said, I'm proud to tell you that we've got
some outstanding structure in our salary cap space that will
allow us to do a lot of things I didn't
think we could do at the same time last year
we paid a price for it, but we can do
it now.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Why say that out loud? No, what are you doing? God,
he's bad at this. They're gonna sign George Pickings, aren't they.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I mean, what, so what will he make thirty twenty five?
Like if he proves he's thirty, But if he proves
he's a number one, that's ceed makes thirty four?

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Right, I think He's probably a twenty two to twenty
five guy, would be my guess.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, let's see, I'm just going down, you know. God, jeez,
DJ Moore makes twenty seven a half, Wattle makes twenty
eight million.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
That's what I'm saying. If he proves that he is
a and wattles the number.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Two, Higgins's number two and he makes twenty nine, yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Like he proves that he is a legit. Look, I
could be a number one for a team. But he's
got some worts, he's had some issues, he's got some
he's a little bit of a headache. All right, we'll
give him a little discount on that. I mean, he's
gonna make at least twenty five and he might make thirty.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, I like sounding more like thirty.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
So can you pay Dax sixty and then pay your
two receivers sixty five?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Find receiver in the draft.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
So if you're if you're okay, but if you're not franchising,
if you're not going to keep him, Yeah, that could
be the way to go. I'm sure he would love him.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, I think he'd be great with the franchiseag He
seems like that. Yeah, got lee man, you know, what though, you're.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Not supposed to franchise tag a position like that, But
are you going to overpay for one just what you need?

Speaker 3 (04:20):
If you are not going to contend this year, which
you are not, and you're not going to pay George Pickens,
then you should trade him before the deadline so you
get something for him, right.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
No, if the things go downhill and they and they might,
then yeah, they're about.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
To be three and two or no, no they're not.
They're going to be three two and or two. God,
what is the freaking record?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
So they're one two and one, three two and one?
Is they got a chance to be three two and one? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
The Jets that they played this week, they're lost to
go to h and four last night And apparently Aaron
Glenn had a delicious snack as he chewed out everyone
yesterday in the locker room after game.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Aaron Glenhill, who are like, oh, you should be the
coach here.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I'm like, okay, let's see how it goes when he
doesn't have a quarterback.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, it is the NFL, so you never know what's
gonna happen. Like I didn't think the Cowboys would be
in that game against Green Bay and they were. But
I have a feeling that the zero to four Jets
are just gonna stomp a mud hole in the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I got a bad feeling too, dude, and it's.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Gonna They still have a pretty good defense, don't they.
They just don't have an offense at all.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah they yeah, pretty much. Yeah, just not good. Yeah,
you know, but uh well, more on that later in
the week.
