Speaker 1 (00:00):
All day long, we've been talking about Ozzy Osbourne has
passed away at the age of seventy six. We just
did last two segments talking about it. If you miss
anything we do post the podcast, you can go back
and listen, no doubt, all week long we'll be talking
about Ozzie playing some music. Course, you know you're gonna
expect to hear that music right here on the Eagle.
Right now, it's time for this come.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
On surprise, all right.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
So yesterday the Cowboys have their State of the Team address.
It's Jerry Jones, It's Stephen Jones, It's Brian Schottenheimer. The
big story though, is that Michael Parsons wants to get
a new contract. And here's the first question to Jerry,
will Michael practice before his contract?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Well, everybody here is under contract. When you're up there
in that top ten percent, so to speak, of the league,
and that top quartile of your team, leadership is really big,
and leadership exhibits himself when you're negotiating as well. I'm
appreciatve of Michael being here. We've got a player that
we've adocked him for not being here during off season workout,
(01:14):
as you well know, and we will find him for that.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Okay, just kind of mentioning Trayvon Diggs.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
They're homies, right dark Micah, Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Travon's always on Micah's podcast. Yeah, so Micah is there. Now.
Micah is under contract for twenty four million dollars this year.
So that's what Jerry's wanting in. He's under contract and
that's the that's the business that Jerry's going to be in.
It's like, what do you mean we don't have to
do anything.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
What does Michael make this year? Twenty four million dollars?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
That's good chunk change, good chunk change. And they could
franchise him, right, franchise it Francis or twice, which would
be what per like the first time? Okay, is he
a linebacker? Is he a defensive end?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He's a pass rushing Okay, he'd get up to probably
thirty thirty five.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I mean, I mean they're kind of a deal done,
or they would have traded him by now, Like, I mean,
obviously they're a dysfunctional organization. But if you didn't think
he was worth it, you should have traded.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Him, right, This is what Jerry wants. He wanted to
have this press conference. And talk about it. I saw
a good guy, Kevin Carkey's do with the ring. He
is at ESPN now and he had a good, good,
good take today and it was if Jerry Jones was
I wanted to have made a deal. How you win
the next three super Bowls? But you have no action
in front of the live microphone. Jerry would say, no deal.
(02:32):
And he's right. If you tell Jerry you can't speak
to the media, no press conferences, no radio shows, but
you get three super Bowls for how long?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
For three years?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Three super Bowls?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Jay would say no.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I think that's accurate. There's accurate because he he knows
the one constant through all these years, as the evaluation
of the Cowboys says Skyrocket, it is him talking. So
he thinks that him talking and doing all this is
the most valuable thing they have, right.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Uh our chain con Are you frustrated that the deal's
not done?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
With Mike out?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Not at all?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Have we do?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
And I don't mean this. I have things undone dangling participles.
I bet I have twenty of them every day, and
some pretty serious hareies. You can't have it all done
at the same time.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
It doesn't work that work.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I was looking at this documentary and I spent some
time going back in them.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
It Smith negotiation.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I mean, we're just a shameless plug for Netflix.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
That happened about five times yesterday out of nowhere. Even
after he would say I don't spend any time looking back.
He mentioned the documentary that's coming out next month.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
But you know it's crazy. I mean, we all we've
been around him so long and listening for so long.
We all know what he's saying. But if you just
take those words and just listen to him out of context,
that sounds like the most unhinged insanity I've ever heard.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Dangling participles. Though he's been playing that hit for a
long time.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's grosser. I even know what it means.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I've got a bunch of unfinished business dangling. Oh no,
I've got an energy contract over here. I've got oil
business contract over here. You know, Okay, what about it
costing war though, Like you know, TJ. Watt just signed
so you could have got this done months ago, possibly
and you have saved money.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You used to comprice that let's say buick for I
remember when they were five thousand dollars believe or not,
and today, I don't know what they sell for, but
it's a lot more than five thousand dollars. I've seen
them go dead at five thousand dollars, and I've seen
them go dead at fifty thousand dollars. It's just the
times you're in and just the money here. And I'm
not trying to be cute. I'm not at all concerned
(04:39):
about a contract that involves and will affect that in
any way.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I can't emphasize that or not so abuw it What
a weird way to explain inflation.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, and not in being wrong on it too, though
you still would have saved money hypothetically. Now he may
look at it as I'm saving sixteen million dollars on
it right now by paying him twenty four million to
God in place.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
So, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Uh So, Shoty gets to talking here, and then Jerry
comes in on top of Shotty at the end, and
the question is more like, so, what happens if Micah
didn't play in camp?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
We're committed to having him take that next step, not
just as a player, but as a leader. Just because
we signed him doesn't mean we're going to have him.
He was hurt six games last year. Seriously, we've signed
I remember signing a player for the highest paid it's
the position in the league. And he got knocked out
two thirds of the year Dark Prescott.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
So there's a lot of things you can think about.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Dacks over there throwing a football through a tire. Wait,
hold it right, as long time ago? Uh and and
Mike of his four games last year, not six. So
Jerry's wrong and just talking out his ass.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Isn't it silly though to talk about signing the context
of injuries and signing players unless it's an always injured player.
Oh just wait, I mean, it's weird. It's football, bro,
It's the NFL. You guys know this. But if he
doesn't get out on the mic and do this, he's
not in the narrative right and he's inserting what he
thinks is the most valuable piece of the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It's all yesterday was about. Uh okay.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
So Michael goes on the Undertaker podcast and saying that
the Joneses have complicated this.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
What about that?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Of all of the people that I've set down with
as a player, Michael Parson is as.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Great Michael Parson. Michael Michael Parson. Okay, well, hold on,
has anyone gone out there and claimed that Twitter account?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yet?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
That's the.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Who is Michael Parson singer?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Of all of the people that I've set down with
as a player, Michael Parson is as savvy and knowledgeable
and understanding of his financial business relative to football as
any player I've ever been around.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Now, he's smart.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Jarry's Michael Parsons.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
So that's it, Michael, hold On, I want to see
who this is.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Okay, So if you go right now at Michael Parson
joined August two thousand and nine. He's got three he's
following three and has two followers, and he hasn't tweeted
since twenty ten.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
He's either dead or a Russian bot?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Can Michael Parson have a resurgence on Twitter?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Hey, Jerry, have you talked to Michael's agent yet?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I've talked with people that have talked to him. Let's
put it like that, Michael, I don't necessarily talk to
these agents, so I don't necessarily talk to attorneys, and.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Hell, I don't even talk to my daughter.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Hey, hey, man, dude, Charlotte and him communicate all the time.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I'm mad the other one.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I do stuff everywhere, and I don't necessarily talk to
the people that are hired to do certain things. I
talk to the principals ninety percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Okay, I do like the phrase I do stuff everywhere.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
He stiff everywhere? Okay, what's the hold up here?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
It's not productive to talk about any details about what's
holding what up?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Okay, great, Steven's like, we're gonna talk about this.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
That's the only thing I would comment on.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
The Other thing I would say is for five years,
there's a lot of water under the bridge.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Okay, Now this is the most insane thing he said. Okay,
because this is this is really crazy.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
That's the only thing I would comment on.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
The other thing I would say is a contractor four
or five years, there's a lot of water under the bridge.
If you step out there and do something in the
first two or three you can get hit by a car.
And so there's a lot to look at over a
lot of years that could make a big difference.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I can't give Michael Bartses a contract. What if he
gets hit by a call Oh my god, yeah, anyone.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It is it's insane that like the justification that he's
saying out loud where everyone's like lung and he's saying
that out loud.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
We were gonna give Rico Dalla a contract. But what
if he gets eaten by a bear?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And now that he now that he's out there on
the East coast during hurricane season.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Hell, okay, now this question Joseph Hoyt, who just went
to the Dallas Morning News, And Joseph Hoyt is asking,
so you had no problem getting done a deal done
with Trayvon Digs and Terrence Steele? Why why why do
you have to You did that early? Why can't you
do that with micaeh Frankly? Frankly, should we have weighted
(09:12):
on Digs and Steal? Oh you brought them up? I didn't.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Well, the other thing is the willingness.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Arret Steel's just over there getting some reps in practicing
is off its mindset, and he's like.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Wait, hold on, what did I do?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Ben knows you can hear the weights in the background
because the weight room tent is right by that tennis court.
I think what he says that you hear Terrence Steele
drop a fifty pound weight on his toe. I mean
he basically said they were willing to do it. Yeah,
and so that's why they did it. And now we
hate those deals, and we hate those deals.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
JJ Watt, who's now a CBS commentator, said, anytime you
can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and
your star pass rusher simultaneously right before the season begins,
you just got to Nothing makes guys want to fight
for you more than earing outset you are that they
got hurt while fighting for you. He's leaving out Trevon
(10:08):
Diggs and Terren Steele were like, God, now Treyon Diggs
is a little bit deserved on his part, Like I
don't have problems the Trevon Diggs right now?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, but tered still dude, he did.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Yeah, you wanted to be better?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Do you guys think Jerry kind of also partly holds
Trayvon Diggs against Michael Parsons at all. Probably, I think
it's probably a part of it because he did say
something about leadership, like cut right off the court bat
leaders should be start talking about Hey, well Digs ain't here.
What kind of leader are you? You can't get your
best friend to camp? Wow Ah, great stuff, KT. It's
gonna be another amazing Cowboys season wins. We start cussing
(10:46):
the cowboys. All right, thanks for hanging out with us today,
a sad day. We'll keep bringing you more information as
we get it about the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. We'll
be playing his music and Black Sabbathe music all week long.
I'll never forget the time that KT looked mychol Parson
dead in his eye and he said.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Thank you for participating in our Texas Iconic Food Bracket.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
We'll see you tomorrow with more, and Michael Parson was confused, Uh, Christina,
stick around and play some music there, you're going, yeah, Well.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
I'm gonna get my sack back, dude
Speaker 1 (11:16):
That I had to take a poop.
