Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone Craig
Way alongside the producer Cameron Parker. Coming up in a
few minutes, we'll visit with Greg Tepper, managing Canser Der
Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine to talk about college and
high school football in the state of Texas.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We'll do that.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I'll ask him about the Cowboys too, because I think
he's a Cowboys fan, frustrated Cowboys fan as well. On
the first hour of the program, we heard from Jerry Jones,
and we will hear some war from Jerry and also
from Dabosweeny, the head coach of the Clemson Tigers.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
So we will will do that.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
You know, I understand the frustration, but believe me as
a guy who was a fan of the Rams, who's
won fewer Super Bowls than the Cowboys, but obviously the
two they have one have come much more recently than
the Cowboys last Super Bowl. So but I still understand
(00:56):
the freshtrasure the frustration that you feel as a Cowboy fan.
And like I said, I know people who said that's
a step away from Ruth root for him anymore. My
wife was a Cowboys fan. She grew up in Dallas
for a while, but she's just kind of gotten dumb
to them.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
She's happy for you when I get excited with the
Rams win the game, so she's kind of become a little.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Bit of a fan of them. But good win.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Last weekend it was beating the Buffalo bill and they
got a big game Thursday night against forty nine Ers
because if they win, they're still in the thick of
the fight in the NFC West, and I think that
would put the forty nine ers on the shelf. The
Niners are two games back of Sea Out, so at
this late stage, win over San Francisco would pretty much
put them away. And that's almost as satisfying as the
(01:43):
Rams being cond That's that kind of almost falls in
that category of what Sark said about Arkansas fans, you know,
hating Texas more than they like themselves.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
It's almost like that with the Rams and the forty
nine ers.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
You know, if the forty nine ers are slipping up,
them Ram fans happy, perhaps more happy than they should be,
as opposed to rooting for their own team to have success.
But you take what you can get, and for the
Cowboys right now, it's just difficult very very difficult. Cowboy
fans are a n usual study right now because it
(02:18):
really does seem to be divided into three groups. There's
the one group that's with them no matter what. Those
were the fans who were there last night. Those are
the fans who will be the next home game. Those
are the fans who buy those whatever thirty dollars party
passes where you can only stand down one end to
the field or pay four hundred dollars for a decent ticket. There,
(02:43):
that's that group. You don't belong in that group, pray,
I don't think so. Yeah, okay, then belong in that group,
all right. Then there's another group that's on the opposite them,
that's thoroughly disgusted with them, had enough, has proclaimed that
they're done with them. They're switching out teams, going to
(03:04):
find a new favorite team or adopt a different team.
They're never rooting for the Cowboys. Again, I don't think
you fall into that group either unless you know Mike
McCarthy gets a lifetime contract, okay, and we know that's.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Then there's the third group, and this is where Cameron is.
This is you know he's not a giver. He's not
a taker. He's kind of a squeezer, you know. He's
just kind of a wheezer, you know, just kind of
kind of stuck in.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
The middle there.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Wanting, wanting to root for his favorite team as he
did through so many successful seasons.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But just it.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's completely insulting to you, as a knowledgeable pro football follower,
to root for the team that continues to collect blow
off one toe with a time with a handgun and said.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That, I think frustrates you as much as anything.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
The fact that you're, like, I root for this team
and this team just continues to let me down, and
yet you can't quit him.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You don't give up on them. Oh, I've given up
on them this season.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
This season, but not in terms of your total identity
as a fan.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
You are still a Cowboys fan right loosely, I guess.
I mean, would you call me a fan?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I would only in that you haven't renounced your loyalty
to them. That keeps you tethered to them. That's why.
Because you haven't renounced your loyalty, you haven't said I'm
done with you, I'm never rooting for you again. I'm
gonna go find another team. So, you know, maybe it's
(04:52):
easier for my oldest son because when he's a kid,
he liked the Jaguars and then when they were bad.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
He switched to the Cowboys. He said, it's logical. They're
in my home state. On it.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Now, he's completely disgusted with him, and he's he's jettis
in them, and he said he and his girlfriend are
going to find a team to root for. A team. Well,
they just proclaimed this a little over a week ago.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Chief sends. He didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
He said it had to be a team that none
of his family was connected to.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So it can be a Rams fan or a Packers
fan or whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But the Chiefs might be a decent thing because he's
a Royals fan because he used to work for the
Royals when he's a minor league video coordinator and so
now maybe, but his favorite baseball team as a kid
was a Tiger, So maybe the Lions factor in there.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I wish anyone luck that wants to root for a
team quarterback by Jared Godd But that's okay, that's your deal,
you know, And he's having a good year. It's just
he wasn't that kind of quarterback when he was with
the Rams, and that's why they went. They had and
traded him, so and it worked out. It's worked out,
I would say for both teams because Matthew Stafford had
probably maxed out on what he could give the Lions,
(06:07):
and what he delivered to the Rams was the Super
Bowl championship, and Goff can possibly deliver that. He couldn't
do it as a Ram, but he might be able
to do it as a Lion. I think the Lions
are as good as about anybody in the NFL, Chiefs included.
We'll see come playoff time. I just want to see
if the Rams can't make it, I'd like to see
the Lions make it, if only because they've never been
(06:28):
in the Super.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Bowl'd be good story.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Only the Lions, the Browns, the Texans, and the Jaguars
have yet to make it to a Super Bowl, so
and the Lions certainly have the best chance of all
them all. Right up next, we'll talk some football of
the high school and collegiate variety in the state of
Texas with Greg Keepper, managing editor of Dave Campbell's Texas
Football Magazine. When we continue on Sports Radio Am thirteen
