Special events, and it does say seven o'clock. All right, start tim
in the cedars. Yes, it's gon be so good. Thank you Almost
Draft House for hosting us, and thank you for sponsoring this segment because JJ,
can we do the support report? Oh I remember that wiw suport report
that was disappointing. Yeah, kind of thought been mart breaking Cowboys news.
Now Thallas Cowboys have restructured their contra with Dak Prescott. Now that's not this
is not the big one where he's probably gonna get a new one. That's
probably not happening. But they basically have turned some of his money into a
signing bonus, created some money on the salary cap, which goes in line
with what they did over the weekend. Now they released Leyton vander esch Man.
I the Layton one's a little complicated because I think Layton was probably going
to retire the In fact, the story that I saw that I was morning
news too, is that he actually even gave a speech with the team in
front of the room last year towards the end of the year. He did
stick around and was committed to hanging out and mentoring the other players and help
him prepare and all that stuff. I know that he's got a kiddo on
the way. I'm not sure if he's had it yet, but I know
he's got a kiddo on the way. I had heard through back channels,
and I don't know if this is true or not, but that as of
like January, he still had not regained fool feeling in his fingers from his
neck stepnosis. I think so it's called it's just brutal injury and that's it.
So they were listening to not tantically. He's a free agent. He
could sign with someone, but I don't think he's gonna play anymore. Oh
would now. I could have received bad info two on that, you know,
but it's what i'd heard from someone kind of who knows some things,
and they're like, it's not he's probably done the neck injury. I mean,
that was a question coming out of college for him. They took him
and pick I think seventeen that year, so he's gone. They also released
Michael Gallup, which creates a little bit of salary cap room. Michael Gallup's
interesting because he's still just twenty eight and he could probably help a team and
be really cheap. I could see Michael Gallup end up in Kansas City or
something, or a Baltimore type situation and like contributing on a playoff team.
I think what you saw last year was the Michael Gallup who was recovering from
a torn acl in the playoffs of twenty twenty two. So there there kind
of Cowboys news. They are the other news. Tyron Smith is looking It's
not official yet, but it looks like he's going to sign with the Jets.
The report was up to twenty million dollars. Now that's a game's played
incentives. And the way the report was spelled, I was like he was
really looking forward to protecting Aaron Rodgers and you know they help on the offensive
line for the Jets. But Tyron Smith not coming back kind of a bummer.
You couldn't find a way to make that work. But if he was
getting blown away by the Jets and you just weren't willing to go there,
then yeah, the Cowboys have two big holes in their offensive line. They've
got to get figured out, and that's probably figuring out where Tyler Smith plays
a part of it. But that's that's my biggest concern of all this stuff,
and they haven't been able to go and sign people know a based concern
is like dra off, it's a line is not very good right now and
very questionable there. So are you guys bombarded on So it's typically on social
media, you rarely see it on an actual news feed. Are you all
bombarded with the click bait trade rumor sites that have Stefan Diggs the Cowboys trying
to work out a trade to get the Diggs brothers together. I get tagged
in sometimes I can tag in some of that stuff that's usually undated with it,
and I always and it's probably because you know, you know, I
have the Diggs brothers want it, and that's been whispered forever. And Stefan
Diggs has been unhappy in Buffalo for like two seasons now. So it's just
the fu there's plenty of fuel for there's plenty of fuel for those rumors.
The main supplier of that fuel being that his brother is here and doing well,
and it's the Cowboys. So yeah, a lot of that makes sense.
I would imagine conversations may have even been had. I just wonder why
why these is it because they don't have any real legitimate content? Are they
just speculating things? And if it hits then they maybe look like wizards.
What is the point of all of that just to get clicks? Yeah?
I mean intriguing ideas in the NFL are fun to click on and you know,
think about. But they can write an article like is a Diggs Brothers
reunion emin it? Yeah, and you can click it and essentially just say
what you just said, which is nothing like, Hey, Stefon Diggs's unhappy
his brothers in Dallas. Dallas needs a receiver. They just released Michael Gallup.
Yeah. Usually that should be the whole article. I mean, yes,
it's all enough. Most of it is nothing. Yeah. Do y'all
want your Trayvon Diggs news of the day please? I just think he is.
Just go to our friends over at Black Sports Online here, Robert Latowe,
Yes, should we go headline first, dude, or always read theadline
on BSO. Twenty five year old Travon Diggs gets tattooed. Okay, I'm
just gonna read the how it was written on the website too. Twenty five
year old Trevon Diggs gets tattooed of his fourth baby mama. Thirty five year
old joy chaevis name on his feet Okay, so we were gonna have Mike
Ryner read all the Black Sports on the Line headlines every day. Love a
good bit. Yeah, there's so much stuff. So basically, it was
reported on Black Sports Online reported that Trayvon Diggs is expecting his fourth kid and
her name is Joy chaevis a well known dancer who has previously previously had children
with will Bow Wow in Future along with the dalliance with Diddy in the past.
It's pretty amazing. If your three baby daddies are Travone, Eggs,
Wow, and Future, that's an amazing gauntlet, you know what. And
the baby Daddy Awards, like what's the like the Holy who's the biggest three?
Yeah? Can you beat that? I don't know. That will take
some research, but yeah, I don't know if I can off the top
of my head. No, it's guaranteed massive income forever. Yeah, pretty
great. Genius. Women are so lucky? Are they lucky? A lot
of them know how to strategize. Sierra's Future and Russell Wilson baby with each
okay, Future a stool needs three legs. Kevin her first kids with Future
Future. Okay. However, the news of the the news of the pregnancy
has raised some concerns among fans and followers of the couple. Many people are
worried about the potential challenges that may arise from the age difference in the in
the couple, it's just ten years, big deal. Thirty five twenty five
the ladies thirty five. Yeah, and Digs are twenty five, especially considering
they'll soon have a total of seven children with seven different partners. Because this
is his fourth baby Mama allegedly, big brother, Ay, the kid can
have all these little brothers and sisters and it's gonna be awesome because we need
more. Aiden Diggs. Diggs is in this world? Do he's a good
kid? Well? I saw some photos of the tattoo as well as it's
on his foot. Yeah is that? Hey, honey, surprise, I
got a tattoo of you pictures name? Oh really? Where that's on my
foot? Like? Does it lose the romantic luster? That's what's her name?
Okay, Joy Chavis? Let me save you some time. I like
Blacksports. It's online, I follow it, never get it. Click onto
the website. It is pop up. It's pop up there and there'll be
seven windows you have to swipe through to get to one whatever the payoff is
of the headline. And my favorite is when you scroll down, I don't
know about two thirds of the way and then it just automatically refreshes you back
to the top of the page. And you got to fight through photos reloading
and ads loading just to get back to where you left off. Nope,
no, please, Oh I just got a phone call from Norton, hold
On, let me handle that. They found other football news quick hit Bam.
Claron Donald retired on Friday at the edge of thirty two. The hell
was that we were sitting together at the The Hub The Hub sports Ball Yeah,
awesome by that next to Ron's place. Great remote on Friday. Fun,
credible turnout, fun people. You and I were there, freaking idiot.
Carrie bought me a shot a whiskey and him a shot of gin.
A shot of gin. Yeah, he knows that he likes gin. Didn't
ask for it. I didn't ask for it. On Kevin's face, he
didn't want it, but I still gave him the cheers shot a whiskey.
That that's fine. We were watching golf. We're watching golf, having a
time. And then he did a shot of gin. A gin shot.
I've seen what happens to Kevio when he's soaked in gin. Yes, he
will take his pants off and expose his penis. And started whipping the pants
around my head like, uh huh, that's the one with the wien the
one with the slacks, the bears. But we whipped our head around and
it's at Aaron Donald retires and we went that's amazing. Hell. I was
thinking, how did the Cowboys get Aaron Donald? How does any team?
The Dolphins if they lost Christian Wilkins, I don't know. Talking about money
with him, he could be a beast for another two three years, Like,
yeah, give me him thirty two. I respect in love the NFL
early retirement. You got your money, you got more than you to could
ever spend. I guess if you got enough money, leave with your body,
you know, yeah, brain hopefully agree yes. And if you see
even a hint of your body starting to go, go yeah, because trust
me, in twenty five years it's going to be exponentially worse. If you're
feeling it now in your thirties, imagine what it's like when you're sixty five.
Uh yeah, brutal, but still a shocking retirement. I mean maybe
the best player in football all things considered. Yeah, for sure, done
Donald. I mean in ten years, Hall of Fame see you. And
he's a quick hit for Kevin. I remember the scene you wanted to do
two full segments? That year was twenty fourteen. You might want to do
two on Aaron Donald. Yeah. I was its Senior Bowl twenty fourteen.
It was Zach Martin and Aaron Donald and no one could stop either one of
those men except when they went up against each other. And the Cowboys that
were considering they would have taken Aaron Donald at eleven that year, but the
Cowboys were picking fourteenth I believe, or sixteenth. And that was the Johnny
Manziel, the made up story. I think that they tackled Jerry too.
I don't think they tack every year that goes by. I think it came
more dramatic that Jerry was fighting to clawing toward the podium. It's not he
probably just said sure, hey, Manzille, anybody probably not right, Okay.
I agree with the Now it turns into Jerry Junior's got a stun gun
at his neck. Yeah, man trank Jerry. I agree with the quote
which was I didn't get to where I was by not taking risks. I
do believe, like I one hundred percent of that there was no tackle.
There's no there was no confrontation, just like no one and JD never gotten
a physical confrontation. But it's cartoon lands and everything's wrestling. Kevin Bears traded
Justin Fields to Pittsburgh for a Day three pick, okay, making the Tree
Lance trade look way worse in my opinion, because whatever you want to say,
Justin Filt is better than Trey Lance is all the info we have Day
three pick day. It's a sixth round pick. It could be a fourth
round pick based on playing. Yeah, a sixth could end up a fourth.
So he will back up Russell Wilson. Those guys will take sacks together.
It'll be good times. Okay, let's move on to golf, all
RIGHTE been waiting all day for this. I don't even want to play the
Well, whatever we can if you want. Do you think that's interesting from
Thursdays? It's not interesting. Maybe we'll do it in the next segment,
okay, because what we need to do is talk about the players. Yesterday
fifth major, highest tournament purse on tour, twenty five million dollars just sitting
there on a table. Our heroes. They spread that money around. Man,
everybody got a taste. It seems like she missed the cut. Well,
of course, if you made the cut like Dallas's favorite son, Jordan's
Speith. Yeah, more Jordan a few minutes. If someone loves and I
just it's Scott. And we have Scotty Effan. We have a dude who's
turned into Tiger. Maybe, I don't know. We've seen guys since right,
I don't know. Well, it just doesn't have the no, no,
no, no, no, I'm talking about Well, I don't know,
nothing comes close to anything Tiger, and but it's winning majors and stacking
them up quickly is the only thing that could even get a Tiger conversation going.
But he is pure dominance right now. Yes, And I hope that
we don't look back on him and go, well, he only got all
those wins because John rab and all these guys in Koepka and all these guys
left to go to the lift. I hope we don't do that. Those
guys are still playing majors. They're still playing majors, and I think that's
where it's gonna kind of be interesting because Shefferd will have to win them specific
tournaments. He is the most dominant thing in golf by far right now,
not even close and consistent. And he had a neck injury on Friday and
he was getting rubbed on, you know, yeah, and then he fought
through, said he didn't have much Saturday and goes out and shoots. He's
sixty four yesterday, trailing. He went into yesterday, I think trailing by
four. I think at the beginning of yesterday's round maybe five, maybe five.
Was he twelve and there's twelve and there were seventeen and gets in the
clubhouse at twenty under, making putt after putt and just dominating the field.
And then it comes down to the end and three guys he had to dodge
three bullets all had a chance, and Brian Harmon, Xander Schaffley, and
Wyndam Clark all came to the eighteenth birdie ties it hell, they both tried
to or Xander missed his birdie on seventeen, Wyndam made his right. Oh
no, they both miss Wyndam made his and miss his yeah, to put
him one back. So he just had to dodge three bullets and he dodged
them all. It's incredible. I talked to a good listener, Blake.
We talk golf when we see each other out and we went to the Oatmeal
pizza show in the Colony on Saturday night and we talked some golf. Were
both did the whole gun to your head and essentially bothers like, we'll take
Scheffler to win this thing on Saturday night. Yeah, because he's just a
freak of nature and that neck injury is the only thing they could have prevented
it. But it seemed like he fought through that. On Friday Saturday where
I heard him more, he had a little tape on his neck. If
you watch closely and watch Scotty Scheffler, he he pures everything. What do
you mean? He hits the middle of the club face and the ball goes
straight. Here's the most simple thing I could say. Scotty Scheffler hits the
ball straighter than anyone on the planet except for keV. If the tg Kevo
hits it straighter. Yes, but to watch Xander Schoffley and Wyndam Clark and
Brian Harmon's best golfers in the world, or in the conversation, spray it
and spray it means they're six yards to the left or five yards, you
know. I mean they just don't hit it dead straight like he does.
And I'll go even further. This whole Scotty Scheffler footwork thing, which we've
talked about. If you don't even follow golf, it's almost worth watching.
I showed Christina and you know a year ago, I'm like, watch this
dude's feet. We showed you. Yep. What the hell is that he
launches himself out of position? It's so non traditional. I think it might
be he might be doing what Dick Fosberry did to the high jump in the
Olympics back in the day, when everyone would jump over and just kind of
go chest down hurl themselves. And this white dude comes up and says,
I got a plan. He runs from the side and jumps and he puts
his back and he arches his back over the high jump, and everyone goes,
oh, you added a foot to your leave. What the hell?
What did he just do? A witch? I think Scotti Shuffler might be
changing golf by saying, look, it doesn't really matter what happens after you
make contact, and for those of us that suck at golf, it does
matter because that is part of the whole story of a swing. But he's
so good at whatever leads to that contact. It doesn't matter if he essentially
launches his feet both together off the ground and lands perpendicular to the fairway.
It's like the Aaron Rodgers throw with no feet on the ground, like just
constantly. That's how he throws now, is like with no foot on the
ground, And it's amazing. And I kind of the same way. When
I play like that, my feet move like crazy. But he it's like
he almost jumps after he hits it. I mean, it's ridiculous. Hey,
whatever gets us a Dick Fawsbury reference. Okay, God, just taking
it in my head, it was like Jesus, well, it's crazy,
right, I mean, the dude, how does he hit it straight?
Or it's funny. PGA Tour so the players the logo is just the silhouette
of the perfect golf swing follow through, right, And PGA Tour did tweet
this out as their new logo. It's just it's just the gold silhouette of
this absurd follow through where I don't even know does every golf coach or every
golfer look at this, like, how how is he way better than Brian
harm and Wyndham Clark Xander Schaffley to come back from five strokes back? Yeah,
just by puring the ball straight and he does it with that. Well,
I just wonder how did he arrive at that? I don't know,
because I'm sure that there have been instances of really good golfers that just figured
it out on their own, by feel, never really had much instruction,
you know, watched golf and picked up the clubs and we're just natural constract
the ball, figured it out, got their feet where they wanted him,
and they did what was comfortable to them. But I doubt that's the case
with him. I would assume that he's grown up with a lot of analysis
and video and simulations and people looking at his swing and all of that stuff
and correcting things as modern golfers will do. My question is, how did
he arrive at that? Well, nobody told him to do that. That's
that's sort of my point. I think he's changing. Maybe I don't know,
Maybe he's just this anomaly who what happens post contact doesn't matter, or
he puts everything so perfectly into contact and that that generates power or is it
one of those things like where you'll hear about an unconventional picture. He's like,
you never want to teach your kids how to do this or to start
playing this way because they'll they'll hurt themselves. Are you gonna see kids emulating
what Scheffler does, ruining their their game or their love for the game because
they suck trying to leap into their drives? I think it's essentially a pitcher
who falls onto his chest when he releases the ball every time he falls and
lands on his face, but he can throw it one oh six and he
can hit a quarter a United States coin anywhere he wants in the strike zone.
So you'd be like, look at this freaking weirdo, what is he
doing? He's why does he fall on his chest after every bit? He
doesn't care? He gets up, brush himself off, does it again?
Like it's just bizarre? Has I mean you wouldn't you would know if this
has happened. But has anybody spoken to uh the the orthopedic downfall of this?
Like is this sustainable? Can he this until he's forty? Or is
the actual mechanics of what he's doing potentially injurious to I don't know, I
know, I mean, aren't those questions that the people would be asking or
should be asking. The game now is like club peed speed, Like there's
analytics to it, how fast clubhead is moving forward, and it's like the
more you can get on that, the more distance. And if you can
keep it straight, that's the key though, keeping it straight. What's different
about what he did yesterday? He's hitting drivers on these holes the other guys
because they knew they can't can't hit it straight down the fairway. We're hitting
their three wood and we're losing twenty thirty forty fifty yards off the tee to
him. Yeah, and he's closer. Oh, he's a great iron player.
Oh, he's learning how to putt. Yeah, that's been his only
downfall is his putting. In the last two weeks he's putted well. So,
like, dude, it's kind of last week it was the happy learn
to put Like, yeah, dude, if this dude puts average or at
a plus number on strokes game, he's gonna win sixty percent of the terms.
Yeah, I mean maybe more. He's unreal, he's unreal to answer
your question real quick. I think it might be he might be preventing injury
by that release, maybe because he's putting so much into it. Instead of
like you know, seizing up, he releases everything in this jump forward.
I don't know, man, but what you tease it as is awesome.
So we're late as hell already. He's like Dallas, and he might be
the most dominant at his sport, ahead of Luca, ahead of Michael Parsons,
ahead of Corey Seeger, ahead of the the best player on the Stars.
Maybe there's a lot of options for the Stars this year, the most
dominant Dallas well built team. Yeah, exactly. That's why I didn't I
didn't want to select an individual. Maybe we'll talk about that a little bit
more in a bit, all right, But also I do want to get
into the golf fight Glory and Speith. Okay, Jordan Speith and Rory McElroy
head to head next on ninety seven, won the Freak
