Speaker 1 (00:01):
And now Mike's thoughts.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Let's talk about a perfect way to kick off the
twenty twenty five NFL season, And I do mean perfect.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
You could not script this. You could not script a
more electric.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Openator opener than the Philadelphia Eagles versus the Dallas Cowboys
in primetime showdown on Thursday Night Football, September fourth.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Two thousand and twenty five.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Guys, the Eagles are raising their Super Bowl banner, their
second in franchise history, and the team they're doing it
in front of their most bitter historic rival. This isn't
just another game. This is personal. It's the NFC's football
at its best, and this is war.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
But here's the twist, and not everybody's happy about it.
Let's just be honest.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
A lot of fans, and I mean a lot of
fans do not want this matchup. Weach one, and deep down,
it is because they are scared. They are scared that
the Dallas Cowboys might actually just be good.

Speaker 1 (01:03):

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Those all of those offseason movies, the move that the
Dallas Cowbys have quietly made, might pay off. They are
scared that this is the year that the Dallas Cowboys

of dominating Super Bowl Super Bowl run, they're still the
kings of the football world. Even with new faces replacing

(01:28):
some of last year's heroes, They're still ready to prove
that twenty twenty five aur was not a fluke, and
they got to do on the biggest regular season stage,
the NFL kickoff game. But guys, let's not forget this
is the time that the Dallas Cowboys and the Eagles
will meet. In Week ONECE is two thousand, Dak Prescott
versus Jayalen Hurts, a matchup that somehow hasn't happened nearly

(01:51):
as often as it should, will finally take senters to
Ah to launch the NFL's most anticipated season. The Eagles
are twenty to five all time. I'm in Week one
games as the fitting champions. But this isn't about history.
It's about a rivalry that could shape the NFC race
from the very first snap. So guys in the comments below,
well the Dallas Cowboys to show up the show, show

(02:13):
you that they're the real deal, or the Eagles going
to remain on top of the East and own that
crown at the end of the day. It is what
it is.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
But do not forget that I told you Dallas cowboys
their back, baby Q. That intro
