All those pictures of Travis and Jason Kelcey at Universe
Cincinnati where someone said one of these guys, one of
these guys grew up to be one of the biggest
podcasters in history, and one of them grew up to
be getting gage to Taylor Swift. And you see the
picture of Travis Kelsey, It's like, yeah, wow, man, Okay,
well this guy, Okay, life.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Comes at you.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
I've got some friends that went to Nebraska, so they're
all giddy. They were texting me earlier, Uh, really excited
about It's like, you know, you're not playing really well,
like still a w.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Like I get it, but you know you.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Want a little bit of crispness to it. But it
looked like a preseason game oftentimes many of the games
that we had on our grid here in the Fox
Sports Radio studio.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You know, that's why I love p FU Tech, Who's
going to join us tomorrow night in preview Week one
of college football is that, you know, I love his
idea that Week one every year should be FBS versus FCS.
Everybody plays a game at the home of the FBS team,
and it's kind of like a it's a free and
I said, it's got to be you move towards Bowl
eligibility with a win. Yes, absolutely, hundred percent. And that's
(02:49):
the only time you play an FCS team that year,
and that should be what happens. FCS teams all get
a big check. We go that's the first week of
college football, and that is an awesome idea.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Get to celebrate a bunch of that. Otherwise don't get
a lot of shine. So some of these players that
for myriad reasons aren't at one of these bigger programs,
they get a little bit of the spotlight and who knows,
maybe an opportunity to where they jump on somebody's radar
so they can get some of this transfer portal money.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Now we watched today the big story come down. Jerry
Jones trading Micah Parsons, Cowboys trading Micah Parsons to the
Green Bay Packers in exchange for defensive tackle Kenny Clark
and two first round picks. Now, there's many different things
we said. We've covered a lot of angles on this
Jerry Jones. We're gonna get some more coming up in
(03:39):
a few minutes. But the biggest takeaway from this, right
and this is this is what I talked about when
I put the when the news broke this morning, I
was taking Benny for a walk. This is like the
third big story that's broken. Yeah, it's kind while I've
taken my dog for a walk, Like Luca getting traded
was broke when I was when I was taking Benny
for a walk. And then I think the Jets getting
(04:01):
signing Justin Fields broke when I was taking Benny for
a walk. Like I think Benny for a walk, Big
things happen. Right, let's go for a walk. We need
a big trade.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, I mean, look, you should be taking him for
a lot of walks.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, well, well I always do. I'm a responsible dog owner.
So look, we talked about how we told you this
was gonna happen the beginning of August. On August first,
when Micah Parsons put out on social media that I
no longer want to be here he was going to
get traded, and every single pundit in the world said,
it's gonna happen. The trade is not gonna happen. The
(04:34):
contract is gonna happen. The cowboys are gonna get it done.
And we told you it's not. Because he went on
social media and he crossed the rubicon. He's a star
saying I want out, I no longer want to be here.
That's Kevin Durant James Harden playbook. It works, and it
was personal and I don't know why people ignored it,
but they did. But we told you that this was
(04:54):
something that was gonna happen, and here it is. The
trade went on today. Now for Jerry Jones, this is
a bigger thing and it's you know, we got into
this a little bit earlier in the week. But Jerry Jones,
for his life, has shown a few things. He has
been very bad at being a general manager. He has
(05:15):
been very bad at picking a roster. He has been
very bad at trying to navigate his team through tough times,
many things that he should never be close to being
involved with. But he fancies himself a personnel guy. And
this is what happened. Right, I'm going to fire Jimmy
Johnson a personnel All these big personnel moves we have
seen him fail at over the course of the last
(05:37):
thirty years.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
But where it's been difficult and where I think you
can look in the mirror, and this is where, if
you're Jerry and Steven and people in that building, you've
been able to convince yourself that you're on the cusp,
is that you did have three twelve win game seasons
in recent memory, right, I mean, you've had some great
regular season success.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Meanwhile, over in Pittsburgh they're celebrating that they're nine and
eight every yeah, right, I mean so, but building.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
A roster Jerry has always it's been top heavy. They're
a team that, hey, if we win ten games and
everybody stays healthy, that's kind of where we're at. But
Jerry Jones is shown Listen, somebody else should have been
picking out the groceries and making making the dinner right
to go, all Bill Parcells. So he's shown his bad
at that. But the thing that Jerry Jones has always
(06:22):
been great at was the business side, was keeping the
Dallas Cowboys in the conversation, keeping Dallas Cowboys as America's
team win, lose, mediocre. The Cowboys are still the biggest
show in the NFL, and he has been great at that.
He has been great at the business part of the
Dallas Cowboys because what he has done is I'm always
(06:42):
gonna sign my top heavy talent to big contracts. I'm
going to keep that big quarterback because I want to
give him and to keep that big wide receiver. If
he has not failed business wise when it comes to
keeping high level talent, he always finds a way to win.
I win the conversation because I keep us top of
mind every day with Am I gonna sign Dak Am
(07:04):
I not. I wait till the last minute. We give
him money. Ezekiel Elliott wants out, Okay, wants money. Am
I gonna sign him? I wait till last minute, I
pay him CD Lamb same thing, right, I wait till
the last minute. We talk about stuff in the press,
we go back and forth a little bit, and I
give him his money. He has always succeeded at that
business hat. You hear that quote from Brady Quinn that
runs on the network all the time. He is in
the business Hall of Fame in the NFL. Think he
(07:25):
was talking about Darrel Reeves. But Jerry Jones clear there
should be an old wing for him with what he
has done business wise.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Yeah, it's Mount Rushmore, him, Kirk Cousins, Darrell Reevas, and
and Jerry Jones's bank account.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Right, Jerry Jones on there twice he.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Gets it, Yes, the second one, I'm I'm on the
one side, I'm where Roosevelt is and then the other
Roosevelt both Roosevelt's on Is it both Roosevelts? Okay, on there,
take Landry out, put me in there. Oh he's not okay,
Oh these are strictly presidents.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Okay, fine, Now two things with that four hundred thirty
two million, Remember that was the national revenue off of
TV deals or whatever. Cowboys estimated the little revenue. Yeah,
three quarters of a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I mean, real business, all of fame, right, Jerry Jones.
But this shows you Jerry Jones has lost his fastball.
It happens to everybody, whether you're a coach, a GM
or you're a pitcher, you really lose your fastball. Sure,
but Jerry Jones has lost his fastball because he lost
(08:24):
this in such a big way, in such a way
that is anti how Jerry Jones loses. He couldn't sign
a player that he wanted to give a ton of
money to. Who's the best defensive player in the NFL
and the best player on the Dallas Cowboys. This is
a guy Jerry Jones wants to give a lot of
money to, and he failed at it. Why did he
(08:44):
fail at it? He failed at it because he thought
I can do the same thing that I've done over
the course of my career. I win the pr battle,
I talk about the contract in the press, the guys
don't really say, the players don't say anything, and in
the end I pay them. I can do this that way.
When he should have known by the beginning of August,
when Michaeh Parsons tweeted out, I no longer want to
be here. This is now at deaf Con one. This
(09:06):
is not part of a dance, a part of negotiation.
This is at deaf Con one. That's the last chance
Jerry Jones had was that day to say, hey, Micah
let's not get crazy, let's make something happen here. But
since what has gone on there, it has been combative,
and he has been at odds with Micah Parsons and
his agent. That never happened with DAK, never happened with CD,
never happened with Z, never up when anybody wants base,
(09:27):
never been at odds with anybody to that extent. He
goes on a big media tour about making sure people
know that I had a deal with Micah Parsons and
it fell apart. And remember the agent told let's to
stick it up all you know. I wanted to make
sure it goes on all kinds of television shows to
say that that's not making the situation any better. It's
just making it worse. It's making Michael Parsons want to
(09:49):
lay on a table during a game and show I
really don't want to be here. Jerry Jones lost his fastball.
He lost had to make a trade for a player
that most of his care he would have found a
way to sign. It wouldn't have been this difficult, but
he clearly didn't. He underestimated what he had in negotiating
with Michah Parsons, what he needed to do to get
(10:09):
the deal done and couldn't come back to it with
all the signs out there, everything happening, couldn't come back
to it to the point where he pushed Michah Parsons
out right. We had the Jane Slater story that you
brought up last hour that in the last thirty six hours,
Michah Parsons approached Jay, you know, things are getting to
the point where I gotta sign you gotta trade me,
And he said, hey, is there anything to be done?
And Jerry Jones supposedly told him you now play under
(10:31):
your fifth year or you're out. So all of a
sudden a thing that Jerry Jones, with his biggest strength,
now suddenly it's whoa. You can't even sign your stars anymore.
You couldn't sign Micah Parsons. Jerry, you have lost your fastball.
And that's the worst thing for the Cowboys is that
at least you could say, Hey, the big stars, Jerry's
gonna find a way to keep. We may not draft well,
(10:52):
we may not do free agency all well, but Jerry Jones,
the stars we have we're gonna keep. Now you can't
even say that for the Cowboys. Let you let the
best offensive player in the NFL, a guy who was
terrorized cornerbacks for the last three plus years and is
gonna do it for the better part of the next decade.
You're gonna watch him do it in Green Bay because
you couldn't sign him something that you love to do.
He loves to give guys money.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
He let. He's that guy the street, just throwing money
out there. But he's the joker in Batman. I'm giving
away free money.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
He loves to sign guys that are stars because he
feels it looks good on him. We made the right
call drafting this person. Look at Dak. He wanted to
give Dak all kinds of money. Dak's a second round pick.
Look at what we did. I want to give him
money whenever he has that guy he wants to do it.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
He failed at that. He has lost his fastball.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I appreciate that you brought in the greatest villain of
all time. So it's it's tough to bring up another one.
But I had one in my head this entire time. Okay,
Nino Brown's right, We're going new Jack sitting uptown.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Nino Brown.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I used to have an I used to have an
Uptown Nino Brown T shirt I wore in college. It
was my favorite and I have no idea what happened
to it. It said like stuff like I used to
have that would get disappeared.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
All of a I said, like, you know, you know,
you know the I really.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Like that Snoop dog shirt I had, no, no, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
It said Uptown Nino Brown.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
It was picture of me, and it said charismatic leader,
like this is such a cool teacher, like New Jack
City is such an underrated movie. Oh fantastic. Judd Nelson.
I think that was his last good movie. Judd Nelson.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
We'd have to go through the IMDb, but I think
you might be right, and got to go through the
chronology of it. But yeah, yeah, you may be right.
But all the way back to nineteen ninety one, what
was his line? Always business, never person? So did you
make it personal? It all goes down, well, and I'm
I my brother's keeper. But for this purpose, yes, for
the purpose.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Is no am I my brother keeper?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
And getting everybody just screaming that no, absolutely, uh yeah,
you see, I want to go watch New Jake City.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But the point being for Jerry got it.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Got personal because clearly at some point as we get
back to the thing you you brought with Slater of
all right, we were amenable to doing this, and he's like, no,
now it's just the fifth year. You can almost hear
the no, no, no, you spurned me and you didn't
dike me seriously, and we'll never get the transcripts. I
don't think he was wearing a wire and giving us
(13:07):
anything like he wasn't pooky getting in there and trying
to get us some evidence.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
No, we got none of that.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
So we got to try to figure out where that
chasm started to get to Micah putting it out on
social media of have done, I can't go back, I
want out, and all those things, and what looked like
at the time cries for help that clearly whatever Jerry
came back with, unless it was just radio silence, wasn't enough.
(13:37):
The fact that all during the while trying to keep
the guy recognized as the most powerful agent in the NFL, Mullageta,
keeping him at arm's length, which we know he'll take
his guys to the eleventh hour, like right when they
got right before the pumpkin comes back, right the eleven
stroke of midnight.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
It's like, oh, it's gonna go oh.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
No, Hey, we got the deal and the guy will play.
We've seen him do that tactic repeatedly, so you're not
dealing with a guy who's gonna blink. And so that
it got to the point of being such a personal
divide to where it's no longer even a hey, let's comrahead,
prevail and sit down at the table. We get this report,
which Jerry did not refute when given an opportunity, just said, well,
(14:22):
there's more to it, you know, and kind of dismissed it.
It's like, all right, now, that's the story we want
in that hastily put together press conference where he kind
of rambled and gave you a bunch of snippets and
great quotes that will run for days, months and years
to come. But yeah, he got it personal to where
you couldn't close the business side of it anymore. That
(14:43):
you couldn't take care of the last bit of all right,
it was. It was uncomfortable. We may have waited too long.
We definitely cost ourselves more money like he did with
Dak and CD and Zeke right, all of those guys,
but that you would eventually get it done. But the
rules have engaged to change. You're dealing with a different player,
in different agent, a different time, even if the CD's
(15:05):
only a year in the rearview mirror. Life comes at
you fast and if you don't adapt, you die in
the business.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I mean and reading.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Who Micah Parsons is, you have four years to figure
out who the hell the guy was?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah, and clearly you missed in that.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yep, the adapter died, Billy beamed, the Brad Pitt adapt
and Die Grady adaptor died. Exit out about a Fresca
exit swollen dome. Jerry Jones has lost his fastball and
that when you lose your business fastball? Oh man, that
is that is something. Exit out about a Fresca exit

Speaker 3 (19:07):
There was water or the bottom of the ocean. Michael
Parsons was traded earlier today, and you.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Might ask yourself, do we really trade Michael parties to
the packers? And you might ask yourself, do we really
only get back to first round picks and a defensive
tackle who's twenty nine years old? And you might say
to yourself, my god, what have I done?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show, my best friend
Mike Harmon. There was water at the bottom of the ocean.
So sometimes you can make a bad thing worse.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
And you really really can't help yourself.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Well, I mean it's the nature human nature. Yeah, let's
see how far I can take something. What if I
did it a little bit more? Would he correct it?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
They get worse.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
This was Jerry Jones today, who took a bad situation
made it worse by having a press conference late in
the day about the Micah Parsons trade. Now, first of all, look,
it was a long look Jerry Jones in his eighties,
right to have a press call, go through the entire
day and have a press conference because you're mad and
you're emotional and everybody's pissed off you traded Micah Parsons away.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Yeah, you know what, get a good night's sleep, and
then uh.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Do it in the morning, all right, and when when
when you when you know what you want to say
and you're not emotional after a really long day, well
then let the wind blow and now all the bloviators
have their moment, and then collect receipts and then decide
how you want to operate instead of firing from the hip.
Jerry Jones wanted to defend this trade so bad. All
he did is make himself look worse. Okay, here's it.
(20:46):
We're gonna play a series of sound bites for you
to listen to Jerry Jones tell you exactly how he
made it worse with everything he said. First, he wanted
to make sure that we all knew that Michael or Micah, Michael,
Mike the same person. I believe, unless Michael Parsons is
really the good player, and he's got him coming up.
So you have a brother named Michael, had got him
on a great deal veterans minimum. You wanted to make
(21:09):
sure that we knew that, Hey, he had a deal
with Micah earlier this offseason.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
The other thing that I would like to say is
I firmly did me made a commitment to Michael this
spring Micah and paid him and to pay him. When
I offered Micah the contract that I offered him back
in April, he flew in from out of the country
wanted to come right in. I said, no, get your
(21:38):
night's sleep and come on in the next day. Get
your next day. He wanted to come right in. We
offered him a contract to come play for the Dallas Cowboys,
and it was a good one. Now, it was more
guaranteed than what I've been reported that was here now,
But my point is, without getting into detail, that was
a very genuine negotiation.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Okay, first of all, it was more guaranteed. Of course,
it was over nine years and not four, but it
was more well.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I mean again, that's where we get the devil in
the details of all of this process.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
But this is where Jerry Jones again epic fail.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
There's enough talk already that you broke negotiating rules in
the in the NFL and the NFLPA can doc you
could wind up losing draft picks because you're not supposed
to negotiate with a player. You negotiate with their agent.
And Micah Parsons had an agent. Doesn't matter if you should.
You can talk to a player about anything, but you
can't negotiate with them, you got that's the rule. The
(22:35):
NFLPA really frowns upon that. And while nothing has happened
yet because did he really break the law? Did he
really break the NFL law with this? It's still kind
of up in the air. But no, No, he wants
to make sure we know. I thought we had a deal.
He and I like, whoa, So now you're really you
want to defend this deal so bad you're willing to
just throw it out there. Yeah, I did something I
(22:56):
shouldn't have made means well I should have got another
draft pick because I'm gonna lose it third round pick
because I'm not supposed to do this.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Well, that's now becomes a question. You should have asked
for one or two more answerary third day picks, so
then the NFL can come back and just take those
and you still have your two first round picks. But
but I have to ask questions go something like this
and goes, you want to play cards? Micah, Okay, I
like playing go fish? Hey, Micah, got it any fours?
(23:27):
How about one oh nine nine? He got a one
eighty nine in there.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It's like the scene in the movie where the bad
guy tries to intimidate the the uh, the one guy.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
But we'll play cards for it, like you know, we'll
cut it. We'll cut the death of death for there.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
So Jerry Jones number one now so wanted to defend
the fact that he thought he had to deal I'm
not the bad guy. He threw it out there that yeah,
potentially I really went against NFL rules. Now he could
lose a draft pick. Now here's the second one. Now,
part of this trade is we said they get you know,
they go to the packers and they get Kenny Clark,
who's a former prol but he's twenty nine years old.
He's coming off the worst year of his delight one
(24:03):
sack last year, and I think is his pressure rate
was one of the worst in the NFL. So, yeah,
you got a guy that now you're giving twenty million
dollars a year the next couple of years too. But
here Jerry Jones sell it. This was the reason we
made that trade because it made us better against the run.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
We need to stop the run, we really do. We
need to get the ball back.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Kenny Clark was a big part of this. That was
a part of winning right now. And we feel like
when you look at you know, the frustration is we
hadn't been able to win the big game in the
playoffs and we think it is a direct connection to
not being able to stop the run. And we think
Kenny Clark's going to be a big piece to that.
And we felt like because of our death on the
edge as well as the ability to be able to
(24:46):
scheme pressure, that we could make up for Micah because
obviously he's elite at rushing the passer, that we could
make up for that.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
It's enough talking, Steven, I got to come back in here.
So what the Cowboys want to tell you is that
stop the run is important. Oh, it's like they just
discovered it, and you know, that's one of the topics
that before they went on the air and did the
press covers, I said, hey, we'll talk about how important
it is to stop the run. Meanwhile, you knew coming
off of last year. Stopping the run was important, right?
(25:15):
You watch the Eagles run all over you and go
to the Super Bowl and Saquon Barkley run for two
thousand yards they won behind him. You could have knowing
that stopping the run is a big deal. You could
have addressed that in free agency, could have addressed that
in the draft, could have addressed it this summer.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Anytime you could have done so.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
But it's almost like you discovered, oh, hey, we got
to stop the run. Oh so you make the trade now.
You could have done that earlier. How important it was.
You could have made sure you addressed that, But no,
saying it now, it's like it's an excuse that they
thought of after the trade happened. Oh we'll say we
have to stop the run. How important is It's always
been important you you'd have known this for the last
eight months, But oh now we're gonna take care of
(25:53):
it today by trading our the best defensive player in
the NFL for defensive tackle that seen his best day.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Oh right. Got it to.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Where you dial it back and say, hey, Jerry, you
know all that success from thirty years ago, that you're
trading on what was important? Then come on work with
me stopping the run. You had a bunch of road
graders and Evan Smith.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, gods, couldn't stop the run. Couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
And you're telling me you've got enough pass rushers. Tell
that to Matt Eberflus. Look what he's got a deal.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That is the worst thing to say, because again, it
makes it sound like you just discovered that and we
had to trade our best player to make this thing happen. Oh,
we didn't know this hole. We had to Oh, come on,
Jerry Man, that's embarrassing. Now it's not only embarrassing for Jerry.
Here's how bad it was. Jerry got so mad at
what was going on. He wanted to make sure that, hey,
(26:42):
you know, don't think I'm a I'm cheap or anything
else because the guy he's really mad at the guy
that he really wants you to know that this is his,
his team and that if we don't win, it's his fault.
Listen to Jerry just sideswipe Dak Prescott in talking about
why he didn't pay Micah Parsons.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
But we have the highest paid player in the NFL
at quarterback, and we made that commitment last year and
We're proud we made it and had everything to do
with this decision.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Everything it is.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Give us every opportunity with Dak Prescott and Lamb and
the base that we've got to win.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Now, Okay, So now suddenly, remember I paid Dak press
We didn't pay Micah Parsons now because I gave Dak
Prescott all that money last year. So if we don't win,
don't sit here and blame me for Dak, for Micah Parsons.
Blame blame Dak Prescott for not playing well. All of
a sudden, Dak gets side swiped on this. Say wait
(27:41):
a minute, now I get side swiping Dak. Dak's got Look,
when you take that money to play quarterback for the Cowboys,
there's certain things that go along with it. But Dak's
been pretty good. He's been pretty good. He's been a
top fifteen quarterback in the NFL his best years. He's
a top ten quarterback. Not every year, but he's top
ten some years. But now suddenly Jerry want, okay, well,
this is not about this is about the money I
(28:02):
gave Dak Prescott last year and he got hurt and
it didn't work for us, and he was bad in
the playoffs the year before that. So he's the guy
he's so mad at what's going on. He's so pissed
at Micah Parsons and his agent. He's pissed at Dak Prescott.
Think about that, You're Dempto pissed at you on pissed
at him? Like, wait, does that make sense?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Because I gave him too much money? See you all too,
because there were a lot of cacophony of voices about tac.
Is he the guy that you give top end money too?
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Right?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
We talked about it on the show.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
We all did a here at Fox Sports Radio across
the sporting landscape. But what's the rule of thumb with
the quarterback? You don't win without one? So what's your
next best alternative? And you look at what was it
Ben Denucci and a bunch of guys that were running
around as backups there. Okay, you gotta go pay one.
So Dak got paid and then CD he's one of
(28:51):
the best at the position, he got paid. And so
to some degree, Jerry Jones actually listened to everything that
had been said for years.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Unfortunately a little bit too late.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
One he waited too long to pay those guys to
where top of market now ate up that much more
of a percentage of your salary cap. So in his head,
given the third guy Mica that now you're really hamsterring it.
And again this is where you know the I don't read,
I don't hear like no, no, no, they hear every word.
They read every word. Because that's been the question with
(29:23):
the Cowboys. Are they too heavy to top heavy to
get over because then you were always going on reclamation
projects and cast offs to try to round out your roster,
and so some of that I understand the pragmatism of
it all. But now after you signed the deal going
it was a bad deal that we signed. No, you
(29:44):
do that once decks out the door. Now you got
no leverage in anything going with him.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Now all those things he said are embarrassing, but this
is the this is the word. This again goes back
to Jerry Jones lost his fastball, and this was a
panic trade that happened that Jerry, that Jerry just decided
to do because he lost control of the situation. As
part of his press conference, he said, quote, this is
a move to get us successful in the playoffs. This
is a move to be better on defense, stopping the run.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
It was a.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Deliberate move, a well thought out move to make this
happen in no world, and I mean and I mean
try to find an mcu world like you'll be hopping
worlds like Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch tried you
for all those different times. There is no world where
the Dallas Cowboys are a better team right now than
they were twelve hours ago.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
They got two first round picks. Well, guess what that
happens in April, right, and they could be late first
round picks, but okay, I'm not gonna you know, there
could be late first round picks.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
You never know.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Uh, but that's not till April. You got a guy
who is an okay defensive tackle that you're now on
the hook for twenty million dollars this year or next year.
Which wait a minute, I thought this was a you
were you're gonna save money, right, it was all about
not paying Micah because you paid Deck now half the
money that Micah would have gotten this year. You have
(31:01):
tied up in a defensive tackle who is thirty years
old and has seen his best.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah, that's great in theory. To actually finish the job
to think.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I mean, really, there's not one person that is buying
that the Cowboys are a better team today right now
than they were twelve hours ago. Not one person trading
away the best defensive player in the NFL for a
defensive tackle who's not bad, that's had a good pass
is not bad. There's no way that makes you a
better team.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Yeah, if you went and you were selling.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Me on the future, right then think of the future
Eckhart in twenty twenty six and beyond recognizing that you're
go on the struggle bust for this year.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Then I get it.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
But try to tell me that this makes you competitive.
You just took the best player off. You go down
their roster. You got a bunch of guys that you
know you're trading on resumes from yesteryear, including a three
time pro bowler, and I hate that he has to
get dragged in this, but I guess if Jerry's gonna
go after Deck and CD a little bit, we gotta
(32:03):
do that here. But anything you were trying to do,
you should have just asked for extra picks. Player does
you nothing? What's he worth in a wind?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Total nothing?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
And it absolutely cripples your argument about freeing up cap
space for any kind of in season adjustment or going
into next year.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
This is Jerry Jones losing his fastball, making this story
even worse by having this press conference. He sounded, he
sounded awful. These points he made like are there these
are junior high points Like this is like someone in
middle school would try to defend the trade with this.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Yeah, it's again.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
I think when you're talking about Mike, are you winning
with him? No, but you certainly lost any remaining credibility business.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
And you know what you've had in that locker room
is that you took care of your guys Somewhere along
the line between a handshake agreement you thought you had
in March or whatever that was to today that all eroded.
And now Dack's gotta be keep going up to the podium,
and I know his check's gonna clear. But you're telling
me he doesn't want to pop off at some point
(33:10):
that he's happier that Mike is not there.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Come on, don't make a bad story worse. Don't do
it till I gotta find out what's trending in the
wide world of sports. And someone who takes all the
bad stories and makes them better. Like when the Mets lose,
he leaves out the score from what's trending.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
It's Monzi blingna, No, y'all.
Speaker 10 (33:30):
They're still playing tennis in New York?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
What time is it?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Look, every year we get to there's one there's one
week in the US Open where it's like, can you
believe it's.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
One forty five in the morning and they're playing? Kind
of are they still serving that drink? That's the key.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
That is a good question because you're in New York,
you're right later because it's later.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 10 (33:50):
I truly don't know when this game is gonna end
between fourteen seed Tommy Paul and New Noborges because they're
in their fifth set, tied at five game a piece.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I thought you were going to say these guys are
in their fifties now.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
And is not gonna end alone.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
I don't know when this is gonna end, guys, because
those you have to win by two and they're tied
at five games a piece in the fifth set.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah, you're gonna go to time. It depends if they
called it before. You got to call win by two, Yeah,
call win by two.
Speaker 10 (34:18):
I see, Okay, Well I don't know. I don't know
what's happening, but this game is still going. Janick Centner
on the men's side won his second round match already
in straight sets. On the ladies side, three seed Cocoa
Golf and two CD gouts Fiat Tech. They're moving on
to the third round as well. Big story of the day,
you guys were just diving into it. Michael Parsons headed
to the Packers. He is now the highest paid not
(34:38):
the highest paid non quarterback in NFL history, signing a
four year, one hundred and eighty eight million dollar extension
with one hundred and thirty six million Garren Teed. The
Buccaneers anounced today that they expect wide receiver Chris Godwin

I've got some friends that went to Nebraska, so they're
all giddy. They were texting me earlier, Uh, really excited
about It's like, you know, you're not playing really well,
like still a w.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Like I get it, but you know you.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Want a little bit of crispness to it. But it
looked like a preseason game oftentimes many of the games
that we had on our grid here in the Fox
Sports Radio studio.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You know, that's why I love p FU Tech, Who's
going to join us tomorrow night in preview Week one
of college football is that, you know, I love his
idea that Week one every year should be FBS versus FCS.
Everybody plays a game at the home of the FBS team,
and it's kind of like a it's a free and
I said, it's got to be you move towards Bowl
eligibility with a win. Yes, absolutely, hundred percent. And that's
(02:49):
the only time you play an FCS team that year,
and that should be what happens. FCS teams all get
a big check. We go that's the first week of
college football, and that is an awesome idea.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Get to celebrate a bunch of that. Otherwise don't get
a lot of shine. So some of these players that
for myriad reasons aren't at one of these bigger programs,
they get a little bit of the spotlight and who knows,
maybe an opportunity to where they jump on somebody's radar
so they can get some of this transfer portal money.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Now we watched today the big story come down. Jerry
Jones trading Micah Parsons, Cowboys trading Micah Parsons to the
Green Bay Packers in exchange for defensive tackle Kenny Clark
and two first round picks. Now, there's many different things
we said. We've covered a lot of angles on this
Jerry Jones. We're gonna get some more coming up in
(03:39):
a few minutes. But the biggest takeaway from this, right
and this is this is what I talked about when
I put the when the news broke this morning, I
was taking Benny for a walk. This is like the
third big story that's broken. Yeah, it's kind while I've
taken my dog for a walk, Like Luca getting traded
was broke when I was when I was taking Benny
for a walk. And then I think the Jets getting
(04:01):
signing Justin Fields broke when I was taking Benny for
a walk. Like I think Benny for a walk, Big
things happen. Right, let's go for a walk. We need
a big trade.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, I mean, look, you should be taking him for
a lot of walks.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, well, well I always do. I'm a responsible dog owner.
So look, we talked about how we told you this
was gonna happen the beginning of August. On August first,
when Micah Parsons put out on social media that I
no longer want to be here he was going to
get traded, and every single pundit in the world said,
it's gonna happen. The trade is not gonna happen. The
(04:34):
contract is gonna happen. The cowboys are gonna get it done.
And we told you it's not. Because he went on
social media and he crossed the rubicon. He's a star
saying I want out, I no longer want to be here.
That's Kevin Durant James Harden playbook. It works, and it
was personal and I don't know why people ignored it,
but they did. But we told you that this was
(04:54):
something that was gonna happen, and here it is. The
trade went on today. Now for Jerry Jones, this is
a bigger thing and it's you know, we got into
this a little bit earlier in the week. But Jerry Jones,
for his life, has shown a few things. He has
been very bad at being a general manager. He has
(05:15):
been very bad at picking a roster. He has been
very bad at trying to navigate his team through tough times,
many things that he should never be close to being
involved with. But he fancies himself a personnel guy. And
this is what happened. Right, I'm going to fire Jimmy
Johnson a personnel All these big personnel moves we have
seen him fail at over the course of the last
(05:37):
thirty years.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
But where it's been difficult and where I think you
can look in the mirror, and this is where, if
you're Jerry and Steven and people in that building, you've
been able to convince yourself that you're on the cusp,
is that you did have three twelve win game seasons
in recent memory, right, I mean, you've had some great
regular season success.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Meanwhile, over in Pittsburgh they're celebrating that they're nine and
eight every yeah, right, I mean so, but building.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
A roster Jerry has always it's been top heavy. They're
a team that, hey, if we win ten games and
everybody stays healthy, that's kind of where we're at. But
Jerry Jones is shown Listen, somebody else should have been
picking out the groceries and making making the dinner right
to go, all Bill Parcells. So he's shown his bad
at that. But the thing that Jerry Jones has always
(06:22):
been great at was the business side, was keeping the
Dallas Cowboys in the conversation, keeping Dallas Cowboys as America's
team win, lose, mediocre. The Cowboys are still the biggest
show in the NFL, and he has been great at that.
He has been great at the business part of the
Dallas Cowboys because what he has done is I'm always
(06:42):
gonna sign my top heavy talent to big contracts. I'm
going to keep that big quarterback because I want to
give him and to keep that big wide receiver. If
he has not failed business wise when it comes to
keeping high level talent, he always finds a way to win.
I win the conversation because I keep us top of
mind every day with Am I gonna sign Dak Am
(07:04):
I not. I wait till the last minute. We give
him money. Ezekiel Elliott wants out, Okay, wants money. Am
I gonna sign him? I wait till last minute, I
pay him CD Lamb same thing, right, I wait till
the last minute. We talk about stuff in the press,
we go back and forth a little bit, and I
give him his money. He has always succeeded at that
business hat. You hear that quote from Brady Quinn that
runs on the network all the time. He is in
the business Hall of Fame in the NFL. Think he
(07:25):
was talking about Darrel Reeves. But Jerry Jones clear there
should be an old wing for him with what he
has done business wise.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Yeah, it's Mount Rushmore, him, Kirk Cousins, Darrell Reevas, and
and Jerry Jones's bank account.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Right, Jerry Jones on there twice he.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Gets it, Yes, the second one, I'm I'm on the
one side, I'm where Roosevelt is and then the other
Roosevelt both Roosevelt's on Is it both Roosevelts? Okay, on there,
take Landry out, put me in there. Oh he's not okay,
Oh these are strictly presidents.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Okay, fine, Now two things with that four hundred thirty
two million, Remember that was the national revenue off of
TV deals or whatever. Cowboys estimated the little revenue. Yeah,
three quarters of a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I mean, real business, all of fame, right, Jerry Jones.
But this shows you Jerry Jones has lost his fastball.
It happens to everybody, whether you're a coach, a GM
or you're a pitcher, you really lose your fastball. Sure,
but Jerry Jones has lost his fastball because he lost
(08:24):
this in such a big way, in such a way
that is anti how Jerry Jones loses. He couldn't sign
a player that he wanted to give a ton of
money to. Who's the best defensive player in the NFL
and the best player on the Dallas Cowboys. This is
a guy Jerry Jones wants to give a lot of
money to, and he failed at it. Why did he
(08:44):
fail at it? He failed at it because he thought
I can do the same thing that I've done over
the course of my career. I win the pr battle,
I talk about the contract in the press, the guys
don't really say, the players don't say anything, and in
the end I pay them. I can do this that way.
When he should have known by the beginning of August,
when Michaeh Parsons tweeted out, I no longer want to
be here. This is now at deaf Con one. This
(09:06):
is not part of a dance, a part of negotiation.
This is at deaf Con one. That's the last chance
Jerry Jones had was that day to say, hey, Micah
let's not get crazy, let's make something happen here. But
since what has gone on there, it has been combative,
and he has been at odds with Micah Parsons and
his agent. That never happened with DAK, never happened with CD,
never happened with Z, never up when anybody wants base,
(09:27):
never been at odds with anybody to that extent. He
goes on a big media tour about making sure people
know that I had a deal with Micah Parsons and
it fell apart. And remember the agent told let's to
stick it up all you know. I wanted to make
sure it goes on all kinds of television shows to
say that that's not making the situation any better. It's
just making it worse. It's making Michael Parsons want to
(09:49):
lay on a table during a game and show I
really don't want to be here. Jerry Jones lost his fastball.
He lost had to make a trade for a player
that most of his care he would have found a
way to sign. It wouldn't have been this difficult, but
he clearly didn't. He underestimated what he had in negotiating
with Michah Parsons, what he needed to do to get
(10:09):
the deal done and couldn't come back to it with
all the signs out there, everything happening, couldn't come back
to it to the point where he pushed Michah Parsons
out right. We had the Jane Slater story that you
brought up last hour that in the last thirty six hours,
Michah Parsons approached Jay, you know, things are getting to
the point where I gotta sign you gotta trade me,
And he said, hey, is there anything to be done?
And Jerry Jones supposedly told him you now play under
(10:31):
your fifth year or you're out. So all of a
sudden a thing that Jerry Jones, with his biggest strength,
now suddenly it's whoa. You can't even sign your stars anymore.
You couldn't sign Micah Parsons. Jerry, you have lost your fastball.
And that's the worst thing for the Cowboys is that
at least you could say, Hey, the big stars, Jerry's
gonna find a way to keep. We may not draft well,
(10:52):
we may not do free agency all well, but Jerry Jones,
the stars we have we're gonna keep. Now you can't
even say that for the Cowboys. Let you let the
best offensive player in the NFL, a guy who was
terrorized cornerbacks for the last three plus years and is
gonna do it for the better part of the next decade.
You're gonna watch him do it in Green Bay because
you couldn't sign him something that you love to do.
He loves to give guys money.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
He let. He's that guy the street, just throwing money
out there. But he's the joker in Batman. I'm giving
away free money.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
He loves to sign guys that are stars because he
feels it looks good on him. We made the right
call drafting this person. Look at Dak. He wanted to
give Dak all kinds of money. Dak's a second round pick.
Look at what we did. I want to give him
money whenever he has that guy he wants to do it.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
He failed at that. He has lost his fastball.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I appreciate that you brought in the greatest villain of
all time. So it's it's tough to bring up another one.
But I had one in my head this entire time. Okay,
Nino Brown's right, We're going new Jack sitting uptown.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Nino Brown.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I used to have an I used to have an
Uptown Nino Brown T shirt I wore in college. It
was my favorite and I have no idea what happened
to it. It said like stuff like I used to
have that would get disappeared.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
All of a I said, like, you know, you know,
you know the I really.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Like that Snoop dog shirt I had, no, no, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
It said Uptown Nino Brown.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
It was picture of me, and it said charismatic leader,
like this is such a cool teacher, like New Jack
City is such an underrated movie. Oh fantastic. Judd Nelson.
I think that was his last good movie. Judd Nelson.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
We'd have to go through the IMDb, but I think
you might be right, and got to go through the
chronology of it. But yeah, yeah, you may be right.
But all the way back to nineteen ninety one, what
was his line? Always business, never person? So did you
make it personal? It all goes down, well, and I'm
I my brother's keeper. But for this purpose, yes, for
the purpose.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Is no am I my brother keeper?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
And getting everybody just screaming that no, absolutely, uh yeah,
you see, I want to go watch New Jake City.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But the point being for Jerry got it.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Got personal because clearly at some point as we get
back to the thing you you brought with Slater of
all right, we were amenable to doing this, and he's like, no,
now it's just the fifth year. You can almost hear
the no, no, no, you spurned me and you didn't
dike me seriously, and we'll never get the transcripts. I
don't think he was wearing a wire and giving us
(13:07):
anything like he wasn't pooky getting in there and trying
to get us some evidence.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
No, we got none of that.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
So we got to try to figure out where that
chasm started to get to Micah putting it out on
social media of have done, I can't go back, I
want out, and all those things, and what looked like
at the time cries for help that clearly whatever Jerry
came back with, unless it was just radio silence, wasn't enough.
(13:37):
The fact that all during the while trying to keep
the guy recognized as the most powerful agent in the NFL, Mullageta,
keeping him at arm's length, which we know he'll take
his guys to the eleventh hour, like right when they
got right before the pumpkin comes back, right the eleven
stroke of midnight.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
It's like, oh, it's gonna go oh.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
No, Hey, we got the deal and the guy will play.
We've seen him do that tactic repeatedly, so you're not
dealing with a guy who's gonna blink. And so that
it got to the point of being such a personal
divide to where it's no longer even a hey, let's comrahead,
prevail and sit down at the table. We get this report,
which Jerry did not refute when given an opportunity, just said, well,
(14:22):
there's more to it, you know, and kind of dismissed it.
It's like, all right, now, that's the story we want
in that hastily put together press conference where he kind
of rambled and gave you a bunch of snippets and
great quotes that will run for days, months and years
to come. But yeah, he got it personal to where
you couldn't close the business side of it anymore. That
(14:43):
you couldn't take care of the last bit of all right,
it was. It was uncomfortable. We may have waited too long.
We definitely cost ourselves more money like he did with
Dak and CD and Zeke right, all of those guys,
but that you would eventually get it done. But the
rules have engaged to change. You're dealing with a different player,
in different agent, a different time, even if the CD's
(15:05):
only a year in the rearview mirror. Life comes at
you fast and if you don't adapt, you die in
the business.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I mean and reading.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Who Micah Parsons is, you have four years to figure
out who the hell the guy was?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah, and clearly you missed in that.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yep, the adapter died, Billy beamed, the Brad Pitt adapt
and Die Grady adaptor died. Exit out about a Fresca
exit swollen dome. Jerry Jones has lost his fastball and
that when you lose your business fastball? Oh man, that
is that is something. Exit out about a Fresca exit

Speaker 3 (19:07):
There was water or the bottom of the ocean. Michael
Parsons was traded earlier today, and you.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Might ask yourself, do we really trade Michael parties to
the packers? And you might ask yourself, do we really
only get back to first round picks and a defensive
tackle who's twenty nine years old? And you might say
to yourself, my god, what have I done?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show, my best friend
Mike Harmon. There was water at the bottom of the ocean.
So sometimes you can make a bad thing worse.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
And you really really can't help yourself.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Well, I mean it's the nature human nature. Yeah, let's
see how far I can take something. What if I
did it a little bit more? Would he correct it?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
They get worse.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
This was Jerry Jones today, who took a bad situation
made it worse by having a press conference late in
the day about the Micah Parsons trade. Now, first of all, look,
it was a long look Jerry Jones in his eighties,
right to have a press call, go through the entire
day and have a press conference because you're mad and
you're emotional and everybody's pissed off you traded Micah Parsons away.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Yeah, you know what, get a good night's sleep, and
then uh.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Do it in the morning, all right, and when when
when you when you know what you want to say
and you're not emotional after a really long day, well
then let the wind blow and now all the bloviators
have their moment, and then collect receipts and then decide
how you want to operate instead of firing from the hip.
Jerry Jones wanted to defend this trade so bad. All
he did is make himself look worse. Okay, here's it.
(20:46):
We're gonna play a series of sound bites for you
to listen to Jerry Jones tell you exactly how he
made it worse with everything he said. First, he wanted
to make sure that we all knew that Michael or Micah, Michael,
Mike the same person. I believe, unless Michael Parsons is
really the good player, and he's got him coming up.
So you have a brother named Michael, had got him
on a great deal veterans minimum. You wanted to make
(21:09):
sure that we knew that, Hey, he had a deal
with Micah earlier this offseason.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
The other thing that I would like to say is
I firmly did me made a commitment to Michael this
spring Micah and paid him and to pay him. When
I offered Micah the contract that I offered him back
in April, he flew in from out of the country
wanted to come right in. I said, no, get your
(21:38):
night's sleep and come on in the next day. Get
your next day. He wanted to come right in. We
offered him a contract to come play for the Dallas Cowboys,
and it was a good one. Now, it was more
guaranteed than what I've been reported that was here now,
But my point is, without getting into detail, that was
a very genuine negotiation.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Okay, first of all, it was more guaranteed. Of course,
it was over nine years and not four, but it
was more well.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I mean again, that's where we get the devil in
the details of all of this process.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
But this is where Jerry Jones again epic fail.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
There's enough talk already that you broke negotiating rules in
the in the NFL and the NFLPA can doc you
could wind up losing draft picks because you're not supposed
to negotiate with a player. You negotiate with their agent.
And Micah Parsons had an agent. Doesn't matter if you should.
You can talk to a player about anything, but you
can't negotiate with them, you got that's the rule. The
(22:35):
NFLPA really frowns upon that. And while nothing has happened
yet because did he really break the law? Did he
really break the NFL law with this? It's still kind
of up in the air. But no, No, he wants
to make sure we know. I thought we had a deal.
He and I like, whoa, So now you're really you
want to defend this deal so bad you're willing to
just throw it out there. Yeah, I did something I
(22:56):
shouldn't have made means well I should have got another
draft pick because I'm gonna lose it third round pick
because I'm not supposed to do this.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Well, that's now becomes a question. You should have asked
for one or two more answerary third day picks, so
then the NFL can come back and just take those
and you still have your two first round picks. But
but I have to ask questions go something like this
and goes, you want to play cards? Micah, Okay, I
like playing go fish? Hey, Micah, got it any fours?
(23:27):
How about one oh nine nine? He got a one
eighty nine in there.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It's like the scene in the movie where the bad
guy tries to intimidate the the uh, the one guy.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
But we'll play cards for it, like you know, we'll
cut it. We'll cut the death of death for there.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
So Jerry Jones number one now so wanted to defend
the fact that he thought he had to deal I'm
not the bad guy. He threw it out there that yeah,
potentially I really went against NFL rules. Now he could
lose a draft pick. Now here's the second one. Now,
part of this trade is we said they get you know,
they go to the packers and they get Kenny Clark,
who's a former prol but he's twenty nine years old.
He's coming off the worst year of his delight one
(24:03):
sack last year, and I think is his pressure rate
was one of the worst in the NFL. So, yeah,
you got a guy that now you're giving twenty million
dollars a year the next couple of years too. But
here Jerry Jones sell it. This was the reason we
made that trade because it made us better against the run.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
We need to stop the run, we really do. We
need to get the ball back.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Kenny Clark was a big part of this. That was
a part of winning right now. And we feel like
when you look at you know, the frustration is we
hadn't been able to win the big game in the
playoffs and we think it is a direct connection to
not being able to stop the run. And we think
Kenny Clark's going to be a big piece to that.
And we felt like because of our death on the
edge as well as the ability to be able to
(24:46):
scheme pressure, that we could make up for Micah because
obviously he's elite at rushing the passer, that we could
make up for that.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
It's enough talking, Steven, I got to come back in here.
So what the Cowboys want to tell you is that
stop the run is important. Oh, it's like they just
discovered it, and you know, that's one of the topics
that before they went on the air and did the
press covers, I said, hey, we'll talk about how important
it is to stop the run. Meanwhile, you knew coming
off of last year. Stopping the run was important, right?
(25:15):
You watch the Eagles run all over you and go
to the Super Bowl and Saquon Barkley run for two
thousand yards they won behind him. You could have knowing
that stopping the run is a big deal. You could
have addressed that in free agency, could have addressed that
in the draft, could have addressed it this summer.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Anytime you could have done so.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
But it's almost like you discovered, oh, hey, we got
to stop the run. Oh so you make the trade now.
You could have done that earlier. How important it was.
You could have made sure you addressed that, But no,
saying it now, it's like it's an excuse that they
thought of after the trade happened. Oh we'll say we
have to stop the run. How important is It's always
been important you you'd have known this for the last
eight months, But oh now we're gonna take care of
(25:53):
it today by trading our the best defensive player in
the NFL for defensive tackle that seen his best day.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Oh right. Got it to.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Where you dial it back and say, hey, Jerry, you
know all that success from thirty years ago, that you're
trading on what was important? Then come on work with
me stopping the run. You had a bunch of road
graders and Evan Smith.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, gods, couldn't stop the run. Couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
And you're telling me you've got enough pass rushers. Tell
that to Matt Eberflus. Look what he's got a deal.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That is the worst thing to say, because again, it
makes it sound like you just discovered that and we
had to trade our best player to make this thing happen. Oh,
we didn't know this hole. We had to Oh, come on,
Jerry Man, that's embarrassing. Now it's not only embarrassing for Jerry.
Here's how bad it was. Jerry got so mad at
what was going on. He wanted to make sure that, hey,
(26:42):
you know, don't think I'm a I'm cheap or anything
else because the guy he's really mad at the guy
that he really wants you to know that this is his,
his team and that if we don't win, it's his fault.
Listen to Jerry just sideswipe Dak Prescott in talking about
why he didn't pay Micah Parsons.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
But we have the highest paid player in the NFL
at quarterback, and we made that commitment last year and
We're proud we made it and had everything to do
with this decision.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Everything it is.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Give us every opportunity with Dak Prescott and Lamb and
the base that we've got to win.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Now, Okay, So now suddenly, remember I paid Dak press
We didn't pay Micah Parsons now because I gave Dak
Prescott all that money last year. So if we don't win,
don't sit here and blame me for Dak, for Micah Parsons.
Blame blame Dak Prescott for not playing well. All of
a sudden, Dak gets side swiped on this. Say wait
(27:41):
a minute, now I get side swiping Dak. Dak's got Look,
when you take that money to play quarterback for the Cowboys,
there's certain things that go along with it. But Dak's
been pretty good. He's been pretty good. He's been a
top fifteen quarterback in the NFL his best years. He's
a top ten quarterback. Not every year, but he's top
ten some years. But now suddenly Jerry want, okay, well,
this is not about this is about the money I
(28:02):
gave Dak Prescott last year and he got hurt and
it didn't work for us, and he was bad in
the playoffs the year before that. So he's the guy
he's so mad at what's going on. He's so pissed
at Micah Parsons and his agent. He's pissed at Dak Prescott.
Think about that, You're Dempto pissed at you on pissed
at him? Like, wait, does that make sense?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Because I gave him too much money? See you all too,
because there were a lot of cacophony of voices about tac.
Is he the guy that you give top end money too?
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Right?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
We talked about it on the show.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
We all did a here at Fox Sports Radio across
the sporting landscape. But what's the rule of thumb with
the quarterback? You don't win without one? So what's your
next best alternative? And you look at what was it
Ben Denucci and a bunch of guys that were running
around as backups there. Okay, you gotta go pay one.
So Dak got paid and then CD he's one of
(28:51):
the best at the position, he got paid. And so
to some degree, Jerry Jones actually listened to everything that
had been said for years.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Unfortunately a little bit too late.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
One he waited too long to pay those guys to
where top of market now ate up that much more
of a percentage of your salary cap. So in his head,
given the third guy Mica that now you're really hamsterring it.
And again this is where you know the I don't read,
I don't hear like no, no, no, they hear every word.
They read every word. Because that's been the question with
(29:23):
the Cowboys. Are they too heavy to top heavy to
get over because then you were always going on reclamation
projects and cast offs to try to round out your roster,
and so some of that I understand the pragmatism of
it all. But now after you signed the deal going
it was a bad deal that we signed. No, you
(29:44):
do that once decks out the door. Now you got
no leverage in anything going with him.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Now all those things he said are embarrassing, but this
is the this is the word. This again goes back
to Jerry Jones lost his fastball, and this was a
panic trade that happened that Jerry, that Jerry just decided
to do because he lost control of the situation. As
part of his press conference, he said, quote, this is
a move to get us successful in the playoffs. This
is a move to be better on defense, stopping the run.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
It was a.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Deliberate move, a well thought out move to make this
happen in no world, and I mean and I mean
try to find an mcu world like you'll be hopping
worlds like Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch tried you
for all those different times. There is no world where
the Dallas Cowboys are a better team right now than
they were twelve hours ago.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
They got two first round picks. Well, guess what that
happens in April, right, and they could be late first
round picks, but okay, I'm not gonna you know, there
could be late first round picks.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
You never know.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Uh, but that's not till April. You got a guy
who is an okay defensive tackle that you're now on
the hook for twenty million dollars this year or next year.
Which wait a minute, I thought this was a you
were you're gonna save money, right, it was all about
not paying Micah because you paid Deck now half the
money that Micah would have gotten this year. You have
(31:01):
tied up in a defensive tackle who is thirty years
old and has seen his best.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah, that's great in theory. To actually finish the job
to think.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I mean, really, there's not one person that is buying
that the Cowboys are a better team today right now
than they were twelve hours ago. Not one person trading
away the best defensive player in the NFL for a
defensive tackle who's not bad, that's had a good pass
is not bad. There's no way that makes you a
better team.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Yeah, if you went and you were selling.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Me on the future, right then think of the future
Eckhart in twenty twenty six and beyond recognizing that you're
go on the struggle bust for this year.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Then I get it.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
But try to tell me that this makes you competitive.
You just took the best player off. You go down
their roster. You got a bunch of guys that you
know you're trading on resumes from yesteryear, including a three
time pro bowler, and I hate that he has to
get dragged in this, but I guess if Jerry's gonna
go after Deck and CD a little bit, we gotta
(32:03):
do that here. But anything you were trying to do,
you should have just asked for extra picks. Player does
you nothing? What's he worth in a wind?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Total nothing?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
And it absolutely cripples your argument about freeing up cap
space for any kind of in season adjustment or going
into next year.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
This is Jerry Jones losing his fastball, making this story
even worse by having this press conference. He sounded, he
sounded awful. These points he made like are there these
are junior high points Like this is like someone in

Come on, don't make a bad story worse. Don't do
it till I gotta find out what's trending in the
