This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one The Freak, It's Kevin,
Danny, Mikey JJ and thirty minutes Ding sings things. Get ready for that
clip. Your countdown continues at nine clips, twenty through eleven as we cat
in the top fifty clips of the year right now, as we do every
Thursday around this time, Let's continue this pix with Glenn's pix with Glenn.
I love that our guests is listening to this picking games against the spread like
I guess some libroody pix with Glenn's long history, I guess pretty good friends
picking games against the spread with a guess lebdy fantastic, fantastic indeed, Uh,
it's time for our sorry where we make picks, where we pick two
NFL games. We have a random caller make picks. What every week we
have a guest celebrity join us and we spent a wheel in alphabetic lely is
it W? This this week is the dub W And this was an easy,
easy decision for me because we have someone joining us who is a a
great dude. He's in the Grambling State University Hall of Fame, the Louisiana
Sports Hall of Fame, the Texas Black Sports Hall of Fame, the Swack
Hall of Fame, and all around one of the best dudes I've ever been
lucky enough to cross paths with since I moved here to Texas. He's in
the Mike Sarroy Ring of Honor. I will tell you that this is Cubby
Ever send it, Damn Walls, we got you. I'm good. Are
you all right? I'm sorry, sir Roy so Roy, I forgot your
French. French I'm your French friend. Right, did you get this chance
to hear that song while you're on hold? I did horrible, horrible.
I'm starting to hang out blame. That was my friend Kevin Turner, who's
with me here today, as is my other friend Danny Bayless. Ever so
bad that's what we used to call you when I was in high school.
Yeah, yeah, yep, you heard that one before. I'm sure Jimmy
Johnson called me a couple of times. Yeah, like that's back in the
eighties when bad was good. You know, it's a dude. I'll tell
you my friend Kevin here, his nickname growing up was Cubby as well.
That's right, you're a liar, that's right. Yes, cubby because he
actually looks like a bear. Yeah, he's a little bear boy. That
was the mascot of my hometown. They're the only cubs. So you know,
I was. I was. I actually looked like a cub bear too,
so yeah, that's why they called me. I had hair all over
my face. That was the reason. Oh yeah, a baby. I
was a baby. Yeah, I had here everywhere. I don't know what
the heck happened to it because I am hairless now, like the little wolf
man and like Guinness Book of World Records, a little baby born right because
I got as I got older, I started howling. Yes, that's that's
just like him. Well we've instead of a rattle, they handed him a
straight razor. Yeah, A big play with this. So Everson and I
we worked together on a TV show with Brady Tinker for years and became Buddy,
Yeah, b Tank the BT Cruiser and uh and we would have Everson
on certain sarroy a Lot and Cash and I's only rule was the one word
we never said was cowboys because Everson is such a hilarious, interesting dude on
one hundred different directions and that we were like, it'd be funny to have
Everson Wallas all the time and never talk Cowboys, and I'm going to kind
of violate it in this case because we had you on as our celebrity to
pick a couple games. We'll do that in a minute, but we have
like an interception legend and machine fifty seven of them in your career, and
I wanted to ask you while we have you on about Deron Bland and uh
oh man, Yeah, your thoughts. I love it. I love it.
You know, we're really blessed to have two guys come along the way
that Diggs and Bland have come along and really turn some games around for us.
I mean, let's face it, you know, we all gave up
a few passes. That's just the way it goes. There's no shut down
here. It was just guys making plays, and when it came down to
it, guys are making plays when we need to make plays. Not only
that, Bland has a chance to eclipse Diggs and myself, and that would
be pretty interesting. If you have two cornerbacks come along and threatening a franchise
mark the way these guys have in consecutive years. That's pretty dark cool for
the Cowboys to have that kind of search luff. As far as DB's concern,
Yeah, and I think Al Harris, the longtime dB, maybe deserve
some credit because he since he showed up. It seems like the cowboys,
like interception stats have turned around. But whatever it is, they're getting picks
these days. But getting picks is one thing, but taking them to the
house is a different one. And you as legend here, I never did
that. Here, I can tell you that, Yeah, you have one
pick six in your career in fifty seven interceptions. So I'm not going to
say that means you're slow. But recall, recall the one touchdown to the
house for us. We won't say that. We won't say that. What's
your what's your recollection of taking that one to the house. Where was that?
Oh? It was in New York. Actually I was with the Giants.
We were still were undefeated and we were trying to remain undefeated. We
were six and oh and uh we were putting it to the Redskins big time.
They were called the Redskins the time. And you know this guy Monk
tried to, you know, run one of those little Z routes or in
and out routes, whatever you guys call them. These days, and I
read that thing like a book, and matter of fact, it looked like
he was throwing the ball to me. I think Humphrey was the quarterback number
sixteen for the Redskins, And Uh, it was easy. I stepped in
front of him and took it to the house. It looked harder than it
was because I ran so ugly, but it really was an easier interception of
what it looked like. The guy thought I was going to get caught at
five yard life and I caught the interception of like a twenty. So it
was a short return, but I barely made it in. I love the
legend talk of just throwing Art Monk's name in there, and I believe it
he was tough. This is all easy questions, but yeah, I mean,
just because you mentioned Arn't Monk, who's the Who's the guy the wide
receiver of that era? The the hardest, hardest time with uh, Roy
Green? If you're talking all over the league. Yeah, Roy Green was
the dude. I mean, uh, people are still talking about and trying
to get him into the Hall of Fame, but his injuries on the thing
that's going to keep him out if he doesn't make it in and simply because
it affected his tenure. You know, his longevity was affected by that.
And uh yeah, it was just tough to see a guy like him go
down. But I'm not gonna lie. When his leeds started bothering him,
I started shutting his asd down. So I just outlasted him. Was It
wasn't that I was better than him, but I just outlasted at the guy.
I think it's how it went. All right, this is our guy,
Everson Walls. We got the Eagles this week, and uh, I
don't know if you got anything about the actual game, fine, but it's
more back to your time. Who was who was public enemy number one?
As far as team was it the Giants for the Redskins, Eagles? Who
was it for you? Back in the day? The team that I really
hated. I think I hated to play against Philly. I really did.
They had a it's really the way it is now. They always had a
good running game. They always had a quarterback such as a cunning hand,
you know, that was back there doing a lot of work and doing a
lot of damage, bringing a total different element to the game. And of
course their running game was always prevalent, and that was something that cornerbacks like
myself really didn't like a steady diet of you understand. You know, I
wanted to go out there and cover some guys and see how that worked.
But I wasn't about you know, Wiever Montgomery coming around the corner big.
They had this big running back named Joseph. He's the one that bruised my
spleen back in nineteen ninety one. And to this day, you know,
of course I had the whole kidney thing going on later on. Even when
I was donating the kidney, they could still see the bruise on the spleen.
Wow. And to this day I had an assessment done, which is
a blessing by the NFL Player Association, And when I had my assessment done
all over from head to toe, they could still see the freaking bruise on
my spleen. So that's the kind of ruggedness that we had to deal with
with Philadelphia running back that caused you lafelong damage. Geez well, I whipped
Cubby in many a TV studio of just asking them these kind of questions because
I could do it for hours. I'm keeping my hand over my mouth right
now, not to just go crazy because this is my Cowboys wheelhouse was mid
late eighties and then into the into the nineties as well, Man, do
you have what if you want? Because just because you mentioned the running back,
I'm like, is it John Riggins, Like, who's the worst running
backs? He runner? Yeah, on my timeline maybe off here a little
bit, but you mentioned the Eagles, and I was wondering if you ever
had to deal much with Harold Carmichael and his tall ass. Hal Carmichael scored
an eighty yard touchdown on me. I think it was my rookie year right,
and the worst quarterback in the world through the past, Rodewalski, he
was the worst. But having said that, I'm good friends with Hall Carmichael.
We share a lot of the same honors except for the NFL Hall of
Fame, all of those other accolades that you called out. He had those
same things because about being HBCU players. I called him one day because I
saw the recollection. It was a recap on the internet, I think it
was on Facebook or something, and they ended up they ended up showing an
eighty yard touchdown and I called Harold immediately and I said, man, you
remember this play? He goes no, Man, I don't remember. I
said, Man, that's such crap. You know, you got an eighty
o touchdown on the bridle like myself and you don't even recall. You know,
that was just so insulting. That did hurt. You really did all
right? Well ever since Walls, I you know, I want you.
If you want, man, you at green light anytime, and if you
want to call up the studio and just screw around with us, uh after
the New year or something like that, we would love to have you.
But you consider that an open invitation because, like I said, we got
a million old questions and I know you're on top of the new stuff as
well. So one of the things we want to have you do. We
do picks with Picks with Glenn's that's our listeners, and you are the celebrity
picker this week. So we need you to pick. Yeah I heard,
I heard the song. Oh yeah, we played again? If you want
Actually, I'm good, I'm good ever sending myself for fine. So we
need we needed to pick two NFL games. The first one has to be
the Cowboy game. So we have the Cowboys at home. They are three
and a half point favorite with the Eagles coming to town. Everson Walls have
who's the three and a half? Three and a half part for Dallas is
yeah, Cowboys have got the three for home and a half point. So
the cow Cowboys got to win by four. We'll covering that. Yeah,
we'll cover that, Yes, sir, Yes, come on, all right.
They can't they can't keep up with out with our wide receivers. The
secondary has always been sort of a week. I won't call them trash because
they're fellow DBS, but uh, i'd have to say that having them keeping
up with our wide receivers and our passing game, it's gonna be tough for
them to do that. I don't see them covering the spread at all.
I love it, all right, Cowboys to win by more than three and
a half points is what Kubby has representing these celebrities. We need one more
game. Did you look one up for you to throw one at you?
Yeah, I'm looking at these Texans and Jets. Man. I like the
Texas. They do pretty well. Uh, what's the what's the spread on
that one? Give me that? That's uh, we'll call three and a
half. Actually, the Texans are a three and a half point favorite.
On the road in New York against the Jets. Wow, okay, they
can handle that. Yeah, Houston is playing extremely well, especially with CJ
getting off at the quarterback position. We got a couple of old Cowboys there.
That's one reason I picked the game. We have Shelves getting off and
we have Brown. Come on, Brown's not doing interceptions. He's not giving
interceptions tea of the team. He's actually catching the ball and doing well.
So now I think the Texas are covered as well. All right, lock
it in. Texans minus three and a half, Cowboys minus three and a
half. Cobby, love you, man, Thank you so much for waking
up early and jumping on board. You want to pub anything? What are
you doing? You're doing any podcasts or any TV stuff? What are you
up to? Man? I am with mixed shots with the Cowboys. I
don't have to worry about coming over content. I can just sit down and
look cute all day. That's my specialty, and we have a good time.
Man. I'm down. We're like an old heads. Man. It's
me Bill Jones, a fagged and we just got Savannah. I know if
you guys heard Savannah, I can't say her last name is a tough Swedish
name, so she can have it. But she's a cool chick man,
and we just, you know, we're old people. Except for her.
We go down a rabbit hole and sometimes we never come back. So you
know, if you're listening to it, you have to be of the same
genre as in Times Times period as guys like and what is that work?
Where can you find it? What is that? Mix? Shots on Cowboys,
Dallas Cowboys dot car love it one of the I think it's one of
the five podcasts of the Cowboys. Oop. All right, all right,
I gotta say one more thing. I gotta say one more thing. Something
just came out and I know you guys got time. Skip Bayley's talked about
me. Did you hear about this crept? No? Skip Bayley's talked about
me and the thermospies was supposed to be anonymous in talking about exposing Hershel Walker
for doing ten thousand push ups, ten thousand fit ups today or whatever the
hell he is lying about. And I just wanted to tell Skip to anybody
out there. Anytime I made a statement to any reporter, I put my
name behind it. I have never told the reporter, hey man, this
is you know, this is going to be, you know, undercovered stuff.
No, anytime that I made a statement about anyone, I don't give
it damn to Hershey Walker, I wanna give it damn who the reporter was.
I always put my name behind my statement. So as you might come
up on some little Facebook or whatever Instagram stories, you make sure that you
understand that Skip Bailey is lying his ass off talking about that nothing new there.
Yeah, there you go. Does that go back to the days when
he was here with you? An you think about Skip Bayless and Skip was
cool to we start lying on it. Don't lie on me. I never
I never told anyone to not put my name behind If I stay hersh and
walking lying about all this push up and sit up. I did say it,
and I'm saying it right now. And Skipper is trash, all right,
Cobby, love you, buddy man. Thanks for jumping on for real,
dude, open invite hit me up anytime, and uh, I'll probably
do the same to you. And we'd love to have you come on in
and uh you can sit here and look pretty with us, just like you're
doing with mixed shots. All right. The Frenchman, Frenchman, are you
kidding? I just got to talk to Everson Walls. You're friends with him,
dude. It was different growing up here. That dude was legend.
If you were a dB in high school back in the day, you thought
you were Everson Walls or you wanted to be Everson Walls. He was the
guy. I knew the name, but I didn't grow up here, but
I was, you know, work with him, and like in two days
we became buddies. And he's funny. He's funny as hell, he's smart
as a whip. And you know what, he loved Game of Thrones and
when it was going on, that's all that's we have him on circ just
a review Game of Thrones, and I remember in like season two, he's
like, soroy, you know, them dragon's gonna melt that whole wall.
And I'm like, oh my god, he's right. I didn't I didn't
even think about, actually, those dragons are going to be right part of
this thing. I didn't think about very anything. You know, the dragons
are gonna melt that wall. I'm so glad I don't follow the Skip Bayless
news headlines of the world because there's something I totally irrelevant to me. I
don't think about him. I don't either, but I saw him headline about
skip baylists exposes source. I like, yesterday saw it. I had no
clue. I didn't up and send that to skips team. That's when I'm
skipped to suck on. Hey. That's why I asked him what he thought
of skip bayless because I was like, this is something that could be cut
and I don't know it's a one day line until he started lying on me.
Yeah, wow, damn, we got a Glenn. Do we have
a Glenn? Yes? Yeah, let's go quick. Sorry, you know
how much time? Dude or lay? Who do we got? Hi?
Dude? What's your name? Man's Chris? Callin from Burlaston? Chris?
Can you just just just tickle me and tell me that mister Wallas is still
on the line and I'm on the conversation with y'all with him. We can
tell you that, but it wouldn't be true. Okay, It's good enough
for me, Bud school Man, stay your resume. You just conducted an
interview with Everson Walls. Chris, well done? Still better already? All
right? Cowboys, Minuster Cowboys, minastere and a half. I cannot believe
I was just on with the cowboy, Chris, Philly's gonna roll Philly's gonna
rollo after that loss last weekend. I just don't see them going back home
and letting Dallas come up there and put it on them. And it's Jerry's
fault. It's not the cowboy's fault, that's Jerry. The game's here,
Yeah, it's a home game. Somebody told me it was in Philly.
Oh well, then that's really gonna upset the Dallas fans whenever they go fourteen
and one at home. All right, you're not fast? Are you taking
Philly Philly? All right? He's got Philly plus three and a half.
All right, you need one more NFL game? Oh? Okay, this
Walls last week? Who's the Browns guy? The Browns have Jacksonville. Yeah,
Brown's minus three and a half. M Not sure how you feeling.
Normally I would kick it around away, Sime with you, But okay,
Jacksonville, all right, Exville. He's got the Jacks plus three and a
half. I don't hear Trevor Lawrence is walking into the facility. Just fine,
Chris Pherrell, you sound like a very uh energetic young man. We
need that in mornings. Apparently, let's let Malcolm be the closer. I'll
go next Dallas minus three and a half, and I'm gonna take the Raiders
plus three over the Vikings. I think Josh Stobbs for interceptions, gonna snowball
Raiders plus three for me, Ding, you give me the Eagles and give
me the Seahawks over plus ten and a half. Yes, sometimes great handicappers
disagree, but sometimes they think, alike, give me the Eagles plus three
and a half, give me the Seahawks plus ten and a half. Wonder
twin powers they're activate all is Mike gonna catch Danny if he's picking the same
games as him. We're not in chase mode just yet. Yeah, okay,
just trying to cap our JJ. Give me the Cowboys. Yeah,
I'm a fake Seattle, are you really? Yeah? Ten and a half.
It's a lot lot of points and that's the plan for their life,
all right? All right? Malcolm at fourteen and twelve and the third place,
A couple of disclaimers, if I may real quick. Number one,
He had just woke up this morning with Mom, Okay, I forgot to
do this again yesterday, so I put it on Mom to take care of
a recording Malcolm, so he sounds real sleepy. And Malcolm, at the
young age of two almost three years old, has learned how to fart and
blame it on the dog. You're gonna love this volume up Here we Go.
