I don't know, man, Idon't know whether to heave two or try
us up. I'm yelling about,but I don't know how smartly things are
going. I'm ensuring radios are tuned, but I don't know what stay.
I've been told two different stations.I just everything's just so confusing these days.
(00:21):
I don't know. It's to speakeasy. I'm ninety seven one the
freak, So that is some geniusthere. I don't know, man,
all right, we're going to dothis here in just a little bit a
little what. I don't know,man. Oh yeah, it's a five
(00:42):
o'clock so you can send in yourI don't know, man's on the talkback
feature on the iHeart app. That'swhat you're hearing when we're coming back from
breaks five o'clocks to second call.I don't know, man. Also,
this is just now coming down.I don't have much data on this yet,
but word from all concerned is thatthe long time I believe radio voice
(01:06):
of the New York Baseball Yankees,John Sterling, is retiring effective immediately now.
I don't know if he's not wellor something weird has happened. The
Athletics says there's an expectation among theYankees and WFA and officials that he will
retire because of health concern. Okay, well there you go. Then then
(01:27):
that expectation has indeed been met,and it is not an expectation. It
is reality. You know what elseis reality? This? This is the
best damn. Oh my god,that's very sad john Sterling retiring and being
(01:55):
medical. He is eighty five yearsold. Yeah, and he was doing
Braves based ball on WTBS four yearsbefore you got the Yankees. Gig.
It's a pretty good run. Yeah, go ahead, very nice run for
him. I'm put in the callthat he'll leave this mortal coil mic in
the next six months. But thenit was a good run. He's gonna
(02:16):
put it. Julia's looking at methe shock face, like what are you
doing? And you know, baseballpeople are lifers. If he's shutting it
down, it's because he's shutting itdown. Yeah, I think it's about
ye. I'll be prepared to coverthe passing of John Sterling at some point
in June. Mike, are yougonna play for the job. No,
(02:38):
I'm not. You would like tocall a Yankee game. I'd love to
call a Yankee game. But Ilike this too, Jose Travino going yard.
Yes, m hm, love tobe behind the mic for that,
but that's not what I do.I do this and I like this good.
We like you here? Well,hes was that the real MVP showed
(03:02):
up yesterday. Now, who shouldwin the MVP of the National Basketball Association
is probably Luka Doncic. But Isay that as somebody who doesn't watch the
Nuggets play every day, so Ican say that. I'll just homeer it
up a little bit. Luca hasbeen wonderful. The Mavericks shut it down,
didn't try to win over the weekend. They're gonna cruise in as the
five seed. We'll talk about themin just a little bit. But first,
(03:23):
the greatest moment of the NBA seasonhappened yesterday in a Clippers Rockets game.
Did you guys know that Bobon's onthe Rockets. Yeah, boban Marjanovich
didn't big old seven foot four JohnWick acting. They don't deserve him,
(03:44):
They don't we deserve him him.He was fun when he was here.
Yeah, I want him back,like he's literally on the team for vibes.
Yes, and if something goes terriblywrong. You put in bobon just
to see if something funny would work. He's like, hegy yeah, but
his batting roup's probably hired than Hedgies. But yeah, yeah, yeah that
he's there for vibes. And sonow he's in Houston, and uh,
(04:11):
the Clippers didn't care either. Sothere's a lot of basketball over the weekend
that didn't matter. A bunch ofteams just getting ready for the playoffs,
not worried about it. So theClippers are losing to the Rockets. This
is a home game, they're inLA. The game is already in hand,
it's over. Bobond gets to thefree throw line for his team is
(04:31):
already going to win the game.They're up by double digits. I think
it's under a minute left, andhe misses a free throw. Well for
the Clippers. And this may befor a bunch of teams, I don't
know, but they have a veryspecific way that you can win a Chicken
sangwich. Give us chicken, giveus chicken, give us chicken. You
can win a chicken sandwich if theopposing team that's playing against the Clippers,
(04:57):
if they miss two consecutive free throwsin the fourth quarter. Oh, Wow,
you get a free chicken sandwich.And I'm reasonably certain that's league wide.
I think the MAVs do that too, and I'm asking me pretty much
all the teams do. Okay,well, Boban missed the first free throw,
we'll take it from there. Threeshook it on the board. If
(05:17):
he misses the second free throw onthe board, that's why the fans are
getting a little real frothy. Ohthe pointing the crowd say, you want
chicken, here's your chomp on people. Perfect he did. He got a
(05:38):
free chicken. Wow. I lovethat he had the wherewithal to notice Like
nothing that I've seen says that hemissed the first one on purpose? But
when And I can't see video thatstarts before the first one, so I
have no idea. I've looked everywhere, but the second one hundred percent.
(06:00):
Here's the crowd and knows the ruleor he's hearing someone saying what it is.
Keep in mind that he's on therockets, he's on the road tak
and he's on the free throw line, and all the Clipper fans are wanting
chicken. And before he steps upto the light of take it, he
realizes that he's smiling at the crowd. He's like, I got it,
I got it, and he missesthe free throw by two feet and as
(06:24):
he's back pedaling to go play defense, he has one finger in the air.
I did it. I did it. I got chicken. That's pretty
amazing, that man. It wasso bobon, so incredible. It's got
to be a good feeling to givea whole arena full of people some chicken.
Yeah, I'd like to do thatsometime. You would. You have
(06:46):
to figure out a way to giveeverybody chicken. How would you do that?
I don't know. Maybe chicken.Maybe he'll give me a one day
contract. Yeah. And if Imake two free throws, they'll get it
because I would make it. Hewouldn't make You wouldn't make an NBA.
Yeah. Now, when people yellingat you, they's so many people yelling
at you. I have ice inmy veins. Oh craw. It also
(07:09):
makes me think of one of myfavorite scenes in cinema history, which is
from UH. I always flip mynames around because they're the Flint Tropics,
and I accidentally call it Tropic Thundereven though it's called semipro with Will Ferrell
because he owns the Flint Tropics andthey have a promotion that if they score
(07:29):
one hundred and twenty five points,everyone gets a free corn dog. Oh
and his team is winning one twentyfour to one seventeen, and they're in
the huddle and the guy's like,let's go finish strong. Take it to
these guys, and he's like,but not too hard. We don't want
to win by too much. Andthey're like, what are you talking about.
He's like, we don't have anycorn dogs? Oh no, And
(07:51):
Will Ferrell blocks a teammates shot andtackles another teammate, but he makes the
basket, and so Will Ferrell justruns out of the gym because they don't
have corns. Whole bunch of peoplethinking they're getting corn dogs and then having
those corn dogs ripped away from them. Yeah, you have some angry people.
Yeah, that would be a sadmoment. M Oh, good job,
(08:13):
Bobon. So we have NBA playoffish basketball. I don't know it's
playing time. I don't think thatthis is considered the playoffs. Do you
guys think this is considered groups?Do you know is considered postseason? But
it's not playoffs? Okay, it'snot a play in the playoffs. It's
a play in to be in theplayoffs, which is pretty fun. We
(08:37):
will get Lakers Pelicans tomorrow at sixpoint thirty and then we will have Warriors
Kings tomorrow at nine o'clock and LakersPelicans is seven eight, so the winner
of that will be the seventh seed. The loser will play the winner of
No, I have that backwards,don't I is it Warriors Kings at seven
(08:58):
eight. Don't worry. You haveto figure that out for you. He's
on the case. Uh no,that's right. Pelicans and Lakers is the
seven eight games. So the winnerof that game is in to play the
Nuggets. The loser of that gamewill play the winner of Kings Warriors,
and whoever wins that game will playthe Thunder. The Mavericks will be on
the road. They will be theroad team against the La Clippers, and
(09:20):
the Clippers are a favorite by abeat that much. I was checking if
you wanted to bet on it,and if you want to bet on the
Clippers, it's minus one fifteen.If you want to bet on the Mavericks,
it's minus one oh five. Sothey're both. It's very very close.
It's damn near a pick them.But I'm seeing more people pick the
Mavericks than I am seeing pick theClippers. And I'm here to say this
(09:45):
thing is set up perfect for thegood guys. You think Clippers are tough,
You could very well lose to theClippers. I think they can and
I think they will beat them.And when they do, because Denver's dumb
and accidentally lost to the Spurs,they lost the one seed. So once
you win, you're gonna play thewinner of the thunder and the eighth seed.
(10:11):
Okay, we'll have a couple ofteams have a chance to knock out
Denver for us, because for Denver'swho I fear. I don't fear anybody
else. I fear Denver. Icouldn't. Well, I could because it's
radio and there's no reason. Youcan just pick the home team and it
sounds good. If the Mavericks areplaying any other team in the West,
I'll pick them to win the series. Denver. I would probably pick Denver.
(10:33):
I think the Mavericks have the bestchance to beat them out of anyone
in the West, but I fearDenver. They're on the other side.
I would echo those thoughts completely.I think I would pick Denver to beat
the Mavericks. But if something happensto Denver, they get a big injury,
an important guy can't play, orif they just can't find their game,
(10:56):
then I think the Mavericks are verycapable of knocking I'm far more so
than anybody else. But you can'tsee him until the Western Conference Finals,
which I love o case. He'sreally good at basketball. But I will
take the haven't really been there beforeteam all day in the postseason. Give
(11:16):
me the bab bass. I believetheir average age is like twenty three years
old, twenty three point eight somethinglike that. They're Bay Base. That's
who I want in the second round, and that's who you're gonna get in
the second unless because a team likethe Lakers. Dude, what if the
Lakers knock the Nuggets out for youwin the play in and the Lakers play
(11:39):
the Nuggets, that Ron turns iton. It's hard to fathom because every
time I've seen the Lakers play thisyear, I've come away thinking that it's
not horrible, but it's kind ofa mess. You know. It's just
like there are a lot of guysout there that don't know their roles.
There are some guys out there thatdo about the same thing that somebody else
(12:01):
does. It's not just not areal will put together team. It doesn't
look like to me. Yeah,yeah, it would just be fun to
watch Lebron do that. But yeah, I don't know if he has it
in him anymore. Well, still, he's Lebron and we must fear him.
Yeah, he had to fear hima little bit. And when Anthony
Davis is out there and playing,obviously he's a wonderful player. I must
(12:24):
not a book marked it. Butthere's have you seen some of the bonkers
things that when people just go lookat the numbers of like Lebron James this
year. Obviously he's not putting upthe numbers that he put up in the
prime of his career, but hestill averaged almost twenty six points, eight
assists, seven rebounds. And Isaw something where it's like, Okay,
(12:46):
the next oldest guy to average twentyfive eight and seven is like thirty three
or thirty four, and he's doingit at thirty nine. If he's out
there on the floor, he isstill the dude. And you have got
to figure out a way to atleast stay up with him and know where
he is. At least. Theamount of time and money and dedication that
(13:11):
he has put into his body isinsane. Yeah, because a dude built
like that, plays like he does, runs and jumps like he does.
At thirty nine, Anybody doing thatis you're done six years ago. Can
only imagine what his off seasons mustbe like. He does spend millions a
year, millions on all the differentthings like massages and cryo and all the
(13:37):
stuff. I believe it. It'sIt's incredible. I'm thirty nine and I
can't lift my right or left armabove my head, and I can't walk,
and I never played run is somethingspecial, man, So yeah,
seventy three and I can barely stand. It's tough. Standing is tough sometimes,
But yeah, the playoffs are uponus, and I'm excited. I
(13:58):
feel good about it. I feelgood about our Mavis, and I think
we're going to have a really funseries against the Clips. Really looking forward
to this playoff run. So arewe looking to all be healthy? Lively
has been out Green's back. Ithink they say that the only one who's
(14:22):
a real concern for him is Lively. Right, everybody else is back,
and I don't know if Lively iscoming back for this. He may not
be able to make it back.But he's the only one of any real
concern. Yeah, and he's areal big help to this thing. Yeah,
he is there. Would like tohave him out there, that would
(14:43):
be wonderful. You got the tandemteam of him and Daniel Gaffard. That's
so fun. That's pretty good.Well, and did y'all hear the terrible
news and he lost his mom?About his mom? Yeah, she just
passed on Friday. Yeah, ashe was dealing with the injury. So
it's like it's going to take alot for him to probably get back and
(15:03):
ready. But I guess he wasat practice after that and wanted to be
a part of things and probably,I don't know, a lot of times
getting back at what you do andgetting into the playoffs is the best thing
you can do if you're Yeah,I think heartbroken. Maybe serve to get
your mind off of a sire.Yeah, Well, I think everybody mourns
differently, but I know I couldtotally see the appeal of if you lose
(15:26):
somebody close to you, you justwant to be around the other people that
are close to you and teammates andstructure and all of that would be very
inviting. I would think he'd belike, Yeah, I'm gonna go to
practice. Otherwise you're like alone,right, and that's the worst place to
be in a situation like that.So hopefully he gets back who's dealing with
the sprained right knee in time togo, because yeah, we need everybody.
(15:50):
The WNBA draft is at six thirty, guys, and I promised you
that I would go find you amock draft. Caitlin Clark number one,
No Fever, Wow who. WhatI saw was that they had one game
on their combination of like cable channelsthat the WNBA is on. The Indiana
(16:11):
Fever had one game on it lastyear or two, and they're gonna have
thirty nine of their forty this yearor thirty six something like that, more
than the defending champs. Caitlyn Clarkthings here to stay. If they are
smart, what they will do isset up Caitlyn cam and just follow her
around every minute of every day.Well, I saw that one of the
(16:32):
I forgot who it is, butone of the teams for when they play
the Fever, they're gonna play ina different arena, Like they're gonna play
a bigger, nicer arena when CaitlynClark is in town instead of like whatever
college arena they would be playing mator. Yeah. Now you guys have
been asking, all right, Jeff, but who's going second in this draft?
Yeah? I think any wants tosay, Hey, Jeff, who's
been going Who's gonna go second?You know, I think there's a chance
(16:55):
that's Cameron brink the center out ofStanford, very possible. Number three,
Rakia Jackson, that Tennessee forward we'vebeen talking about. And number four,
of course, Camilla Cardosa might beCamilla South Carolina center six foot seven star
play against Caitlyn That's why I knowwho she is. That's it for your
mock draft. Ceedee Lamb is notat the Cowboys voluntary off season workouts.
(17:22):
They had their first meeting this morningat eight am, and Ceedee Lamb was
not there. As he enters thefinal year of his rookie contract. He's
going to make just under eighteen milliondollars this year and like everybody in the
world, he would like some owemoney and his contract extension. So for
the voluntary portions of this or atleast the beginning of it Ceedee, Lamb
will be a no show. Mike, would you cut him? No?
(17:45):
Oh? I would not cut him, all right, and I don't think
you would either, would you.No? I would give him his new
contract. Yes, I would do, but that's what I would do.
We do, But we're rational people. It might be in a weird standoff
because justin Jeff, it's also timefor him the vicing star wide receiver,
and so I think both of theiragents are just like, let's see if
the other guy will sign first,so then the other one can make more.
(18:08):
Uh huh, because once that one'sdone, the cost of business goes
up. You go, all right, there's the new bar. I'll have
a dollar more. And so peopleare waiting for the bar to be set
and CD is not there. Andultimately it doesn't matter at all. He
knows his job. He'll be fine. The first mandatory thing in the Cowboys
(18:29):
off season, I believe, isin June, and I would imagine CD
will be there unless he's real seriousabout getting something done before this season starts.
That's when you say, all right, i'll give up money, find
me, I'm not coming. That'swhat Zach Martin did last year when he
just wanted to raise and he eventuallygot it. And so we'll see.
But I would imagine that this won'tbe a big deal, although I do
(18:52):
think it would be hilarious if allof the cowboys who want their big extensions
didn't show up to stuff and they'relike, all right, joy practice with
Trey Lance. Nobody's here throwing theJayalen Tolbert and Sam Williams playing for Michael
Parsons. All the big boys didn'tshow up. Be good for Trey Lance.
(19:12):
Get more rep the great Trey Lancecreeping up on deck. Trading a
fourth round pick for a guy who'snever going to touch the field, That's
what I'm talking about. Well,that's cowboy football. That's the best damn
sports segment. Period. Number fiveis the Dallas Wings in the WNBA Draft,
(19:33):
And if you're wondering who they mighttake, I'd say keep an eye
on J. C. Sheldon guardOhio State. Keep a sharp eye on
that coming up next. I sawhim farting around, and mister Dallas has
a story that will be thoroughly entertaining, even if it is a death. Next
I don't know, man, Idon't know whether to heave two or try
us up. I'm yelling about,but I don't know how smartly things are
going. I'm ensuring radios are tuned, but I don't know what stay.
I've been told two different stations.I just everything's just so confusing these days.
(00:21):
I don't know. It's to speakeasy. I'm ninety seven one the
freak, So that is some geniusthere. I don't know, man,
all right, we're going to dothis here in just a little bit a

Yeah. Now, when people yellingat you, they's so many people yelling

He's like, we don't have anycorn dogs? Oh no, And
(07:51):
Will Ferrell blocks a teammates shot andtackles another teammate, but he makes the
basket, and so Will Ferrell justruns out of the gym because they don't
have corns. Whole bunch of peoplethinking they're getting corn dogs and then having
those corn dogs ripped away from them. Yeah, you have some angry people.
Yeah, that would be a sadmoment. M Oh, good job,
(08:13):
Bobon. So we have NBA playoffish basketball. I don't know it's

Nuggets. The loser of that gamewill play the winner of Kings Warriors,
and whoever wins that game will playthe Thunder. The Mavericks will be on
the road. They will be theroad team against the La Clippers, and
(09:20):
the Clippers are a favorite by abeat that much. I was checking if
you wanted to bet on it,and if you want to bet on the
Clippers, it's minus one fifteen.If you want to bet on the Mavericks,
it's minus one oh five. Sothey're both. It's very very close.
It's damn near a pick them.But I'm seeing more people pick the
Mavericks than I am seeing pick theClippers. And I'm here to say this
(09:45):
thing is set up perfect for thegood guys. You think Clippers are tough,
You could very well lose to theClippers. I think they can and
I think they will beat them.And when they do, because Denver's dumb
and accidentally lost to the Spurs,they lost the one seed. So once
you win, you're gonna play thewinner of the thunder and the eighth seed.
(10:11):
Okay, we'll have a couple ofteams have a chance to knock out
Denver for us, because for Denver'swho I fear. I don't fear anybody
else. I fear Denver. Icouldn't. Well, I could because it's
radio and there's no reason. Youcan just pick the home team and it
sounds good. If the Mavericks areplaying any other team in the West,
I'll pick them to win the series. Denver. I would probably pick Denver.
(10:33):
I think the Mavericks have the bestchance to beat them out of anyone
in the West, but I fearDenver. They're on the other side.
I would echo those thoughts completely.I think I would pick Denver to beat
the Mavericks. But if something happensto Denver, they get a big injury,
an important guy can't play, orif they just can't find their game,
(10:56):
then I think the Mavericks are verycapable of knocking I'm far more so
than anybody else. But you can'tsee him until the Western Conference Finals,
which I love o case. He'sreally good at basketball. But I will
take the haven't really been there beforeteam all day in the postseason. Give
(11:16):
me the bab bass. I believetheir average age is like twenty three years
old, twenty three point eight somethinglike that. They're Bay Base. That's
who I want in the second round, and that's who you're gonna get in
the second unless because a team likethe Lakers. Dude, what if the
Lakers knock the Nuggets out for youwin the play in and the Lakers play
(11:39):
the Nuggets, that Ron turns iton. It's hard to fathom because every
time I've seen the Lakers play thisyear, I've come away thinking that it's
not horrible, but it's kind ofa mess. You know. It's just
like there are a lot of guysout there that don't know their roles.
There are some guys out there thatdo about the same thing that somebody else
(12:01):
does. It's not just not areal will put together team. It doesn't
look like to me. Yeah,yeah, it would just be fun to
watch Lebron do that. But yeah, I don't know if he has it
in him anymore. Well, still, he's Lebron and we must fear him.
Yeah, he had to fear hima little bit. And when Anthony
Davis is out there and playing,obviously he's a wonderful player. I must
(12:24):
not a book marked it. Butthere's have you seen some of the bonkers
things that when people just go lookat the numbers of like Lebron James this
year. Obviously he's not putting upthe numbers that he put up in the
prime of his career, but hestill averaged almost twenty six points, eight
assists, seven rebounds. And Isaw something where it's like, Okay,
(12:46):
the next oldest guy to average twentyfive eight and seven is like thirty three
or thirty four, and he's doingit at thirty nine. If he's out
there on the floor, he isstill the dude. And you have got
to figure out a way to atleast stay up with him and know where
he is. At least. Theamount of time and money and dedication that
(13:11):
he has put into his body isinsane. Yeah, because a dude built
like that, plays like he does, runs and jumps like he does.
At thirty nine, Anybody doing thatis you're done six years ago. Can
only imagine what his off seasons mustbe like. He does spend millions a
year, millions on all the differentthings like massages and cryo and all the
(13:37):
stuff. I believe it. It'sIt's incredible. I'm thirty nine and I
can't lift my right or left armabove my head, and I can't walk,
and I never played run is somethingspecial, man, So yeah,
seventy three and I can barely stand. It's tough. Standing is tough sometimes,
But yeah, the playoffs are uponus, and I'm excited. I
(13:58):
feel good about it. I feelgood about our Mavis, and I think
we're going to have a really funseries against the Clips. Really looking forward
to this playoff run. So arewe looking to all be healthy? Lively
has been out Green's back. Ithink they say that the only one who's
(14:22):
a real concern for him is Lively. Right, everybody else is back,
and I don't know if Lively iscoming back for this. He may not
be able to make it back.But he's the only one of any real
concern. Yeah, and he's areal big help to this thing. Yeah,
he is there. Would like tohave him out there, that would
(14:43):
be wonderful. You got the tandemteam of him and Daniel Gaffard. That's
so fun. That's pretty good.Well, and did y'all hear the terrible
news and he lost his mom?About his mom? Yeah, she just
passed on Friday. Yeah, ashe was dealing with the injury. So
it's like it's going to take alot for him to probably get back and
(15:03):
ready. But I guess he wasat practice after that and wanted to be
a part of things and probably,I don't know, a lot of times
getting back at what you do andgetting into the playoffs is the best thing
you can do if you're Yeah,I think heartbroken. Maybe serve to get
your mind off of a sire.Yeah, Well, I think everybody mourns
differently, but I know I couldtotally see the appeal of if you lose
(15:26):
somebody close to you, you justwant to be around the other people that
are close to you and teammates andstructure and all of that would be very
inviting. I would think he'd belike, Yeah, I'm gonna go to
practice. Otherwise you're like alone,right, and that's the worst place to
be in a situation like that.So hopefully he gets back who's dealing with
the sprained right knee in time togo, because yeah, we need everybody.
(15:50):
The WNBA draft is at six thirty, guys, and I promised you
that I would go find you amock draft. Caitlin Clark number one,
No Fever, Wow who. WhatI saw was that they had one game
on their combination of like cable channelsthat the WNBA is on. The Indiana
(16:11):
Fever had one game on it lastyear or two, and they're gonna have
thirty nine of their forty this yearor thirty six something like that, more
than the defending champs. Caitlyn Clarkthings here to stay. If they are
smart, what they will do isset up Caitlyn cam and just follow her
around every minute of every day.Well, I saw that one of the
(16:32):
I forgot who it is, butone of the teams for when they play
the Fever, they're gonna play ina different arena, Like they're gonna play
a bigger, nicer arena when CaitlynClark is in town instead of like whatever
college arena they would be playing mator. Yeah. Now you guys have
been asking, all right, Jeff, but who's going second in this draft?
Yeah? I think any wants tosay, Hey, Jeff, who's
been going Who's gonna go second?You know, I think there's a chance
(16:55):
that's Cameron brink the center out ofStanford, very possible. Number three,
Rakia Jackson, that Tennessee forward we'vebeen talking about. And number four,
of course, Camilla Cardosa might beCamilla South Carolina center six foot seven star
play against Caitlyn That's why I knowwho she is. That's it for your
mock draft. Ceedee Lamb is notat the Cowboys voluntary off season workouts.
(17:22):
They had their first meeting this morningat eight am, and Ceedee Lamb was
not there. As he enters thefinal year of his rookie contract. He's
going to make just under eighteen milliondollars this year and like everybody in the
world, he would like some owemoney and his contract extension. So for
the voluntary portions of this or atleast the beginning of it Ceedee, Lamb
will be a no show. Mike, would you cut him? No?
(17:45):
Oh? I would not cut him, all right, and I don't think
you would either, would you.No? I would give him his new
contract. Yes, I would do, but that's what I would do.
We do, But we're rational people. It might be in a weird standoff
because justin Jeff, it's also timefor him the vicing star wide receiver,
and so I think both of theiragents are just like, let's see if
the other guy will sign first,so then the other one can make more.
(18:08):
Uh huh, because once that one'sdone, the cost of business goes
up. You go, all right, there's the new bar. I'll have
a dollar more. And so peopleare waiting for the bar to be set
and CD is not there. Andultimately it doesn't matter at all. He
knows his job. He'll be fine. The first mandatory thing in the Cowboys
(18:29):
off season, I believe, isin June, and I would imagine CD
will be there unless he's real seriousabout getting something done before this season starts.
That's when you say, all right, i'll give up money, find
me, I'm not coming. That'swhat Zach Martin did last year when he
just wanted to raise and he eventuallygot it. And so we'll see.
But I would imagine that this won'tbe a big deal, although I do
(18:52):
think it would be hilarious if allof the cowboys who want their big extensions
didn't show up to stuff and they'relike, all right, joy practice with
Trey Lance. Nobody's here throwing theJayalen Tolbert and Sam Williams playing for Michael
Parsons. All the big boys didn'tshow up. Be good for Trey Lance.
(19:12):
Get more rep the great Trey Lancecreeping up on deck. Trading a
fourth round pick for a guy who'snever going to touch the field, That's
what I'm talking about. Well,that's cowboy football. That's the best damn
sports segment. Period. Number fiveis the Dallas Wings in the WNBA Draft,
(19:33):
And if you're wondering who they mighttake, I'd say keep an eye
on J. C. Sheldon guardOhio State. Keep a sharp eye on
that coming up next. I sawhim farting around, and mister Dallas has
a story that will be thoroughly entertaining, even if it is a death. Next
