WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.000
You're listening to the downbeat on ninety
seven to one. The freak weather's going

2
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:11.800
to get back to blow freezing overnight. Fella's looking at the hourly on my

3
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:17.120
models here forty one right now though, I'm just looking at the app on

4
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:21.079
my phone that everyone has, and
it's showing the exact same thing. Oh

5
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.600
yeah, you can't trust that.
Yeah, okay, Yeah, I did

6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.239
wake up like with cringe face,
like what am I going to put on?

7
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.920
It was like thirty six, and
I'm like, okay, feeling good.

8
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.399
That's kind of weird too, to
be thirty six and happy, But

9
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:38.679
it's better than fifteen tomorrow. At
the tip off that we have here every

10
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:41.079
morning, we can throw a ball
in the air and jump forward. At

11
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:45.679
six am tomorrow morning, it'll be
twenty eight degrees with a real fill of

12
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:50.880
twelve. Stop it wind chill.
Yeah. Yeah. But dude, today

13
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:56.159
at four o'clock, you'll walk in
the damn park fifty seven degrees and sunny.

14
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.719
Yeah. I'm sitting outside. People. If the vitamin deep fifty seven

15
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.480
is golfye oh, when's when?
When's that four o'clock today? Dude,

16
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:10.079
one o'clock you can tee off fifty
five have a beautiful apple. I actually

17
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:15.799
might do that, really, yeah, really, as we've got a mile

18
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.840
an hour wind, so that's manageable. My hard knip percentage for tomorrow is

19
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.760
sixty eight percent. Yeah, sixty
eight percent chance of hard nips tomorrow.

20
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.519
Anything above sixty two is a gift, right, Mikey, It's right?

21
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.760
Is it? Sixty two percent?
That's all you need, all you need?

22
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:38.799
Coming up in thirty I've got stories
that involve some frozen pond action here

23
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:44.680
in DFW. I've got a story
of a shocking death involving a naked man.

24
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:52.560
And we've been dodging this hot air
balloon story you have, Well,

25
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.439
Danny's been paying me to not do
it. We might get to that.

26
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:01.519
Also a challenger to the floor,
Fox's hot new game show What, which

27
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.920
automatically a top ten game show of
all time three episodes. Yeah, we

28
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.719
have got a challenger and I'll tell
you what that is in thirty minutes.

29
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:14.039
A lot of good stories, big
stories, local stories coming up in thirty

30
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:15.840
We want to go out the phone
number two and four or eight when seven

31
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.199
seven eight seven one nine seven one
if you want to weigh in on this,

32
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.120
Mike McCarthy deal. He's brought back. It was announced last night.

33
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.960
If you want a way in,
give your thoughts, pro con whatever you

34
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.479
want, go ahead and fire away
two and four or eight one seven seven

35
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:45.159
eight seven one nine seven one.
In Sports at seven and now Sports at

36
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:50.039
seven, I can't believe that eighty
one year old man, an eighty one

37
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:54.759
year old man is just gonna go
huh, this is it. It doesn't

38
00:02:54.759 --> 00:03:00.560
even matter what you personally think about
Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick is a playoff

39
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:05.960
quarterback. I mean as a playoff
coach, a good playoff record of thirty

40
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:12.120
one and thirteen, I believe,
and like that's enough, and I think

41
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.439
it would work here and he go
to work fine. And the Dak thing

42
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:22.719
is strange because you do want Dak
to take an extension, sign an extension

43
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.800
so you can sign Ceedee Lamb and
Michael Parsons and get his cap number down.

44
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.919
So you have that and you're kind
of married to that, and is

45
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.919
McCarthy's last year And the truth is, no matter how much people want to

46
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.639
scream and shout, Dak's not going
anywhere. Dak will be the quarterback of

47
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:44.840
the Cowboys. That's the play now. In two years, maybe not but

48
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.039
right now, that's the play.
Also on Dak's contract, no trade clause,

49
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.599
and he's got a provision in there
that seems a little illegal, but

50
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:59.639
we know that contracts can be worded
oddly. That prevents him from getting a

51
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.759
friend tag in twenty twenty five.
So that's your quarterback, know that.

52
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.080
Move on. How do you optimize
that? Is it by having McCarthy who

53
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:15.520
has showing these made Dac less have
less turnovers, led the league in touchdown

54
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.600
passes. But what about being ready
to go in the playoffs? And that's

55
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.800
all that matters to me? The
idea If I knew that the Cowboys shouldn't

56
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.920
have wasted time running the ball against
the Packers, how did Mike McCarthy and

57
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.839
his coaching staff not know that?
That's Packers' secondary is god awful. Outside

58
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:38.000
of Jyr Alexander, who's great,
go attack it. You're trying to run

59
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.560
the ball, they're trying to nickel
and dime their way up and down the

60
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.639
field. You didn't have to do
that. They did not have to do

61
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.240
that. And you can look at
one game. It's not one game though,

62
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.319
dude, It's just not the Buffalo
game, the San Francisco game,

63
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.759
those are games against big time opponents
where you need to be ready to play,

64
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:58.600
and your team coward down. They
built coward down. So I agree.

65
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.879
I think this is insane. I
think it's stupid. I think it's

66
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.279
not taking a chance. And if
you're eighty one years old and it's all

67
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:09.399
about you, how do you just
go? You know what? That's fine.

68
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.120
I have to believe that he was
talked out of it, or that

69
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.720
he's a phony, and that might
be true, that he's just tricked us

70
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.800
into believing all these things about him
that aren't true. He might just be

71
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:24.399
a guy, you know what I
mean. He probably some guy that got

72
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:31.720
a Rando pregnant. He's just a
guy. He's just some guy. It's

73
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.319
like the decisions and all I thought
put into it. I kind of don't

74
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.759
want to think that. But have
I been fooled? Why? And I

75
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.759
get the steady hand thing that you
guys are gonna hit me with, and

76
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.040
feel free to give me your stance
one more time, and our audience in

77
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.920
the stance in case they missed it
earlier. No, there's definitely something to

78
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.600
what you are saying. I like
your reaction and I'm glad you were having

79
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.319
it honestly, because again, as
not really a cowboy found I know you're

80
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.600
not either. I want him to
do it. I tend to try to

81
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.600
take a breath and understands these in
the day after a disaster like we had

82
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:08.600
last weekend, I understand, everyone
loses their mind, and I don't know.

83
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.480
Maybe they should have they should have
canned him. I'm not saying they

84
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.360
shouldn't have. But it's a good
team. It's a good team, and

85
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:20.879
you just referenced two losses at Buffalo
and at San Francisco that might be the

86
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:26.040
best team in the AFC and NFC. It's the style of loss. Well,

87
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.480
they're not as good as those two
teams. It's the cartoon style of

88
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.000
a loss that tells me you're not
close. Well, it's the cartoon style

89
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.839
of loss to the Packers that no
one should shake out of their heads.

90
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.879
And I love that we had Troy
say yesterday, you know, you're not

91
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.199
paid to win regular season games.
You're you're not paid to put up great

92
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.199
stats. You're paid to win in
the playoffs. So yeah, the evidence

93
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:54.720
to scream that get rid of Mike
McCarthy is there is some, But the

94
00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:00.480
evidence to keep him is is fairly
fairly big as well. So I didn't

95
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.639
agree with that part the evidence to
keep him. Yeah, I mean I

96
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.040
just looked at every see it's perfect. Look at every division winner. Every

97
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:13.920
single one is still in the playoffs
except for one. Every team that won

98
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.600
on the at home. But it
goes back to who are the Cowboys?

99
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.879
Why are you special? Because winning
divisions is really good and hard to do.

100
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:27.519
If you can peel back the false
veneer and perception of what this team,

101
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.279
of what people think this team is
and should be, and you put

102
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.879
them in the category on an even
playing field with every other NFL team as

103
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.800
being you are a football team in
the NFL. You're not special. You're

104
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:46.319
not some legacy thing that's entitled to
win championships every other year, which the

105
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:51.199
Cowboys do. They have this immense
amount the people that follow this team,

106
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:57.399
you know, with massive dedication,
have this false sense of hubris that the

107
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.560
super Bowl Trophy belongs in Dallas.
You're just like everybody else. And if

108
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:07.519
you judge this team that they are
just like everybody else, then this decision

109
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.199
was kind of a coin toss and
it could go either way. It's a

110
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.720
risk either way. It's a risk
to keep McCarthy, but it's also a

111
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.079
risk to kind of blow up the
whole thing, bring in a new coach,

112
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.920
a new regime, new schemes,
new playbook, new plans, and

113
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:28.000
just cast aside three twelve win seasons. Is that's not good enough. I

114
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.039
don't love this decision, but I
don't hate it, and I definitely understand

115
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.720
it. You had to make one
or the other. And it's not like

116
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.320
the I don't feel like that the
weights are stacked just in favor one way

117
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.960
that this was just the absolute worst
thing that Jerry could have done. This

118
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:50.279
is not a mistake until it is
a mistake. You can't def to definitively

119
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.440
sit here right now and say this
was the wrong decision. I don't think

120
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.480
so. I don't think so either. But on Twitter, it's fun to

121
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.039
yell things. I get that,
man, but take all. I had

122
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.600
a different take on Monday, Dude, I get it. I was emotional

123
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.480
on Monday, right. I wanted
to gone to move past that. You

124
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.759
do. It's fun to stand up
and be Vince McMahon and scream you are

125
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.000
fired like that's fun. That's not
read the real world. But take other

126
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.320
teams, take a big market take
the Jets. Imagine them getting three straight

127
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.399
twelve win seasons, you know,
for that or Atlanta or any you know,

128
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.159
Chicago, I mean, take Chicago, the Jets. Those are bigger

129
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.720
markets than ours. You know.
There's a lot of chaos surrounding those teams.

130
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.919
We don't see it as much as
we live down here, and it

131
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.600
isn't as much as the Cowboys because
why, I don't know why, because

132
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.480
the Cowboys and the Cowboys and they
just always will be. But three straight

133
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.879
good seasons is not generally a fireable
offense. This team is in the seventh

134
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.759
decade of existence. Forget the first
four and just look at them over the

135
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.840
previous three decades of existence. You're
not just like every other team in the

136
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.519
NFL. You're worse. You know, if that was the percession, if

137
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.279
the Dallas Cowboys were an expansion team
that started in nineteen ninety six, we

138
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:07.840
would be foaming at the mouth.
To keep McCarthy excited, Oh thank god,

139
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.039
they're bringing the guy back that brought
us three twelve win seasons. But

140
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.440
it's all about the past. It's
all about the f and seventies, which

141
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.919
you weren't the team of the seventies. The Steelers. Were you weren't You

142
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:22.240
didn't do anything in the eighties.
The Niners owned that freaking decade, and

143
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.799
you got pretty lucky in the nineties
with a pretty great head coach and a

144
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.559
really unique move that had never happened
before and will never happen again with the

145
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.799
Herschel Walker trade. And then since
then you are ordinary. Stop living off

146
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:43.360
of those four years. That does
not define you as that does not define

147
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.320
your existence as a team in the
NFL. And if you come off of

148
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.960
that, you realize that things are
actually pretty damn good right now. They

149
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.480
are, But it's seven and two
in week ten next year, I ain't

150
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.320
drinking the coat, the hopium,
the cowboy Hopium, I'm not taking back.

151
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.759
Okay on that note, you know
it is very much in play,

152
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:07.519
which we're gonna talk about a plenty. The mid season Canning absolutely the internal

153
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.320
implosion. Yep, he will be
number one on all the list of hot

154
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:18.039
seat coaches. First to get fired
year. Yes, and with every loss,

155
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.519
because they'll have no years left on
the contract, we will have the

156
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.759
oh my god, mid season firing. Gerry had no reason to fire him.

157
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.159
He really didn't have a reason to
fire. You could not fire him

158
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.240
after that one game. He has
not lost the team. Everybody on this

159
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.240
team speaks highly of him. Dak
effing loves him. Second highest penalized team

160
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.720
in the league. There's a lot
of things that need to be fixed.

161
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.519
Again, there's a lot of things. Yes, there are some details that

162
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.960
need to be tightened up. There
are some decisions that need to be made

163
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:56.159
personnel wise and probably coaching staff wise. But it's not like it's not like

164
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:01.679
this thing is in shambles. It's
not I won't be with Mike McCarthy and

165
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.879
like it'll never get to shambles.
It won't. It's not gonna be good

166
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.440
enough, though, And if you
got time for that, that's cool.

167
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.639
I just thought I thought things were
a little more urgent for Jerry. That's

168
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.600
all I'm saying. We had callers, I have a bunch of I'd love

169
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:16.799
to hear them, and I want
to hear more from you, because I

170
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.480
mean, I I can be convinced, but I want to hear a definitive

171
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:26.200
good reason why Mike McCarthy should have
been fired. Because better options are okay,

172
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:30.200
And that's the closest thing I've heard
to a good reason, but not

173
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.120
because of his performance, and you
say his performance isn't good enough. I

174
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.200
mean, you lost the forty nine
ers and two of the previous two playoff

175
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.440
games. They were a better team
now the Packers thing, And I like

176
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.000
your point too. The Packers might
just be this up and coming team that

177
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.799
doesn't give a damn is playing better
than the Cowboys. They're better than the

178
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.679
Cowboys, but it just feels because
the Cowboys were favorites. The Cowboys had

179
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.360
a good season, the Cowerys were
at home, and they don't lose at

180
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.000
home. That no chance you should
lose to the Packers. And once you

181
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.360
do, my God, fire someone
right now, please, someone get fired.

182
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.639
But it is that the Packers had
their blind Squirrel game and the Cowboys

183
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:09.840
had the confluence of everything going wrong
at the absolute worst time when everybody underperformed

184
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.799
on that one day. But it's
the head coach to ensure that that doesn't

185
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.879
happen. So I understand that that's
where the Bucks should stop. Also feel

186
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:22.519
that if Belichick weren't available right now
in shopping for a gig, then we

187
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.639
wouldn't even This wouldn't even be up
for conjecture at all. I don't want

188
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.919
Harball over McCarthy. You don't clear
about that. I don't think you want

189
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.480
anybody over McCarthy other than Bellichi Belichick. I go there because I refuse to

190
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:39.200
believe that Belichick with a washed Cam
Newton who had to be talked back into

191
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.159
the league, and mac Jones and
Brian Hoyer and Bailey Zappi is what he

192
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.120
is. I just can't believe.
And he ain't gonna be the one picking

193
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.480
all the players. If he was
here, they got a system in place

194
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.240
and it would have to work that
way. Belichick can walk in here and

195
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.559
be like, are you kidding me? Yeah, we're gonna be fine.

196
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:00.799
We're gonna be great. Man.
They will never step put on a field

197
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.039
unprepared. And I don't know if
the cowboy stepped in the field unprepared or

198
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.320
maybe just the play. The game
plan was just wrong. Also, that's

199
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.559
all's at the foot of the coach. That's it. The game plan was

200
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.919
wrong. We're gonna roll the dumb
ball. Remember, well, you're not

201
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.000
a good run coach. Let's do
the callee. We got so many uh

202
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.240
who we got here? J J
nine one? Hi? What's your name?

203
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:28.240
Hey? It's done on Kevan was
Chris Man hit us man, Hey

204
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.440
uh, man, I don't I'm
not even mad that they're bringing McCarthy back.

205
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.279
And it's like your parents when you
did something when you were younger,

206
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.679
they tell you they're not mad,
they're just disappointed. But this team is

207
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.240
who we thought they were. Man. Uh the one and done guys.

208
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.759
Honestly, I was in the text
chain with my older brothers and right before

209
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.480
the game, I was like,
hey, man, we're about to mess

210
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.480
this up, aren't we And both
of them are like, yeah, probably,

211
00:14:54.759 --> 00:15:00.679
And we went out there later do
say yeah, it's it seemed lack

212
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.080
in heart. Man. I don't
think it's the coach. I mean,

213
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.200
yes, he had a bad game
plan. We got beat on all three

214
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.200
phases in the game, but this
team has no heart. Yes, when

215
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.240
players make it to Dallas, it's
like, hey man, we made it.

216
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.799
We got the star on side of
our helmet. Let's just coach and

217
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:24.080
thanks Chris, appreciate the call,
man, Thank you, have a good

218
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.279
day. Have a good day,
Chris. There he goes, well,

219
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.919
he didn't hear he didn't hear you
say it by Chris who really cares about

220
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.799
him? Mike, I don't know
if this the golf boys the players don't

221
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:43.679
have heart. Okay, I think
those guys were deeply, deeply disappointed and

222
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.519
deeply emotionally affected by but not advancing. I agree. I don't think they

223
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.279
could believe it. But for the
camp that blames Jerry Jones, right,

224
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.279
which I don't know, the whole
town. I mean that would be rooted

225
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.639
in that, the whole heart,
the whole You got to Dallas, you

226
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.240
made it look around life is amazing. I mean, you mentioned it's Jake

227
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.960
Ferguson's birthday. He's a dog,
he had three touchdowns. He's probably on

228
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:12.679
a boat in a Caribbean island right
now, like good deserved. But to

229
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:17.039
say that he's not talking about this
all day and bitching about it and his

230
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:18.399
day is ruined, Like, I
don't know if that's the case. I

231
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.799
think Jerry when he gets new players
in here, when they get drafted or

232
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:29.360
whatever or traded or acquired by free
agency, this is the mistake. And

233
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.480
Jerry sets the tone for the culture
because the thing that I've been talking about

234
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:37.360
is this isn't some you know,
incredible legacy organization. You're not all about

235
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.519
winning in championships. The problem is
is he probably marches those guys out there

236
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.559
at the Star and walks by that
trophy case and points to all those Super

237
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.600
bowls and sees all the photos that
that Ben's guy, you know, put

238
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.600
on canvases up there, of all
of their their wonderful you know, historical

239
00:16:53.639 --> 00:17:00.519
moments and and and and ingrains that
into them, of this ridiculous expectation that

240
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.519
is kind of false for the most
part. Anyway, It says, this

241
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.440
is what you have to live up
to, this is what we expect.

242
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.359
Get rid of those damned trophies.
Walk in there and go, we eat

243
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:14.240
nothing. It's up to you to
make us something. They don't do that.

244
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:15.480
In Green Man. They say it's
gonna suck here, it gets real

245
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.559
cold in the winter, but glad
to have you like it is a history,

246
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:25.279
like it's not. Your seed is
planted into their heads like that.

247
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:30.920
They walk in there already thinking that
they're great just because they're Dallas effing cowboys.

248
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.359
But they if you think of a
human, you did make it.

249
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:38.359
You did. You're on the Dallas
Cowboys. You're making more money than your

250
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:42.880
multiple generations of your families have ever
seen and will ever see. Like you've

251
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:45.799
made it. It should be you
made it because you were in the NFL,

252
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.559
not because you're a Dallas Cowboy.
That's true. Make the Dallas Cowboys

253
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:55.160
the Dallas Cowboys because of what you
do, not because of what we did,

254
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:59.720
which is kind of somewhat of a
false narrative. Anyway, Let's go

255
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:06.279
to Hi. What's your name?
Hey, guys, this is Mark down

256
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.119
in Corpus. Christy, hit us
with your best shot. All right,

257
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:15.640
man, you guys have it all
wrong. Harry Jones is in it for

258
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:21.640
money, and every time that stadium
is full, so are his pockets.

259
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.519
Okay. The worth of his team
is not defined by winning or losing.

260
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:33.480
It's defined by I have the most
valuable sports franchise in the world. Anytime

261
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.240
I walk into a room, I
am the richest man in that room.

262
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.079
Chris, I walk into a room
with all the other owners. They look

263
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.160
up to me because I make them
money. Okay, Garry Jones, Okay,

264
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.240
I don't disagree that that's all true, but I don't know if that

265
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.759
supplants his desire to win a title. Let me ask you this, Chris,

266
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.359
and you guys as well. I
just checked Garry Jones worth thirteen point

267
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.920
seven billion dollars. What do we
all think Chris, you go first.

268
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.680
If he could pay one billion dollars
to win the Super Bowl next year,

269
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:08.960
do you think he would? It
would all depend on whether his stadium was

270
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.480
full. That's when things will change
when people quit going to the games,

271
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:18.039
which they won't because the sheet will
follow, and he'll do white outs and

272
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.480
sell all these white jerseys and T
shirts and hats and just bring in all

273
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:27.319
that money. He's the biggest best
carny that ever lived. He can promote

274
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:33.599
anything. I don't disagree, but
every NFL stadium is packed, and promote

275
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.279
our station. I I really don't
disagree with him, but every NFL stadium

276
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.039
is packed and they will they will
continue to be. I don't disagree with

277
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.200
them either, But I also think
both things can can be accurate. I

278
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.759
think he can want to win as
badly as he wants to be rich.

279
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.359
I have two things. For the
first thing, Jerry said, Chris,

280
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:55.440
thank you, Thank you, Chris. Have a good days. There is

281
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:57.920
safe out there. Thank you.
Chris. Uh. If you're if we

282
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.960
didn't get to you right here,
if you're hold, if you want to

283
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.599
hang out, I'll throw you on
the next segment because I know we didn't

284
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.920
get to you out there. Two
things. One of the first things Jerry

285
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:08.720
said after that loss is it just
killed me that, you know, we

286
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.400
we could have been playing another home
game right here next week, which is

287
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:17.119
like, yep, there is a
big payday to be had there. I

288
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:18.960
do think you would have paid one
billion dollars. The other element to all

289
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.039
of this that I really think is
why you could put the crying Jordan filter

290
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:29.599
on Jerry's face really for the next
week, two weeks month. That Netflix

291
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:36.720
documentary is going to probably dodge this
game. But that Netflix documentary about the

292
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:38.559
Cowboys and the legacy of the Cowboys, he really wanted that thing. He

293
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:42.799
really wanted them to go on a
run and that thing capture that. I

294
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:47.799
think it's going to be an embarrassing
loss that they probably won't even put in

295
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.759
the documentary. I don't disagree with
that, But I also do think that

296
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.400
it's possible that he said we it
sucks because we could have had another home

297
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:59.559
game. Not necessarily speaking specifically and
solely to the fact that it's a home

298
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:00.720
game and we're going to make a
lot of money off of it, but

299
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:04.200
it's a home game that would give
us, in theory, a better chance

300
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.920
to win because it's a home game. Well, then get a coach that

301
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:12.400
can get that dumb for you.
I mean, it's just not going to

302
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.839
be good enough. I'm warning.
Or yeah, I get a coach that's

303
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.319
had success in the playoffs and has
won a super Bowl. Oh, you

304
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.960
got one. It's five hundred success
in the playoffs. I think, yeah,

305
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:29.799
yes it is. It is because
one team wins. Yeah, and

306
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.279
I don't I swear, and this
might be stupid, but if Jerry Jones

307
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.640
was given one wish on this earth, I think it would be to win

308
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.240
a Super Bowl. I think,
I believe you there. I do think

309
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.240
he'd pay one billion dollars for it. I do, yeah, And he'd

310
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.720
want to write the script and make
sure he gets credit for it all that

311
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:49.759
stuff. But yes, I do
think it would be part of it.

312
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:53.920
And he would negotiate because he is
that that way. He likes to negotiate.

313
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.279
That's good, mich We're to push
our frinkle spot back to the wanting

314
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:00.039
to do it right now, Okay, we'll do it right now. No,

315
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.720
we'll push it to the eight am
hour because coming up next. I

316
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.079
do want to get to the other
two callers if they want to hang through

317
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:10.359
the brake and let people weigh in
a little bit. Plus big stories in

318
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:15.319
the world, including one of the
wildest murder stories I've ever heard involving fort

319
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.799
Worth. A naked man in firewood
next to ninety seven won the Free
