Speaker 1: The world famous been and skin show.
Speaker 2: We got some fascinating stuff on Cooper Flag coming up
Speaker 2: in just a matter of ten minutes, a scouting report
Speaker 2: from somebody that's gonna make your MAVs pants go absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1: But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 2: Now it's around the sports KTD twins as all the
Speaker 2: sports Man.
Speaker 3: You sent us a picture of Dak Prescott without his
Speaker 3: shirt on. What was that doing for you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so everybody knows I am the most likely to
Speaker 2: fall victim to Let's say that the world is just
Speaker 2: throwing out a fishing line and on the hook is hope.
Speaker 2: I'm the first one that's gonna get caught on that hook,
Speaker 2: even with a mediocre bait. And one time I saw
Speaker 2: Dez Bryant like one hand in catching balls over like
Speaker 2: high school cornerbacks, and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I'll never forget that he still is a guy that
Speaker 2: didn't make his high school team covering him. And anyways,
Speaker 2: you know, every year around this year, you hear, Hey,
Speaker 2: Tony Romo's in the best shape of his life, Dak
Speaker 2: Prescott's in the best shape of his life.
Speaker 1: Whatever.
Speaker 2: You start to hear things like that, and I every
Speaker 2: year I go through that cycle, like that Craig Miller book,
Speaker 2: you know, the fake book or whatever, the idea, that
Speaker 2: cycle of a cowboy fan, where you're gonna be like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, they suck. Jerry's ruining this, they're hopeless.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they got a good draft. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: love every free agent they have. Oh my god, they're
Speaker 2: gonna be really good, they're gonna win it all.
Speaker 1: They suck.
Speaker 2: And I go through the cycle every time. And this
Speaker 2: shirtless picture of Dak has me believing that he's about
Speaker 2: to go have the best year of his life. He
Speaker 2: is shredded, he is ripped. The dude's got zero percent
Speaker 2: body fat. He looks like he's gonna destroy the league.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're not that far removed from him being
Speaker 2: the MVP runner up.
Speaker 1: Now, we're literally two years away.
Speaker 2: From Yeah, and he got hurt last year, although he
Speaker 2: did get off to a slow start, but I blame
Speaker 2: McCarthy and CD Lamb for that seriously, and their offensive
Speaker 2: line was in shambles. Yeah, I mean, I don't have
Speaker 2: any I haven't had any reservations on Dak at all
Speaker 2: for a long time. It's just I just look at
Speaker 2: it as you know, I think I worry that he's
Speaker 2: injury prone because he's been hurt so much, and injury
Speaker 2: prone is a different stigma in football than other sports
Speaker 2: because you just get the crap beatn out of you.
Speaker 2: That's why running backs very rarely are good after the
Speaker 2: age of twenty seven or twenty eight.
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with them.
Speaker 2: Or the kind of you know, condition there, and it's
Speaker 2: the nature of the position, you get destroyed. And once
Speaker 2: you start mounting injuries in football, Look, did it.
Speaker 1: Didn't all of us think Zach Martin would play longer
Speaker 1: than he did? Yes?
Speaker 2: Yeah, seriously, same with what about Smith, like Tyron, I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean once you start having because usually it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: look at Kelsey, you can play to your one thousand
Speaker 2: offensive linemen can play forever. I know, but it's like,
Speaker 2: once the injuries start happening in football, it don't matter.
Speaker 2: And so that's my only worry with Dak whatsoever, is
Speaker 2: that dude, he's had some pretty serious injuries and when
Speaker 2: those things start mounting, and this is year one of
Speaker 2: a sixty million dollar contract, I believe this is the
Speaker 2: first year that is sure, you know, there is something
Speaker 2: to be said for him.
Speaker 1: Making the most of the opportunity.
Speaker 2: Don't want to overreact to an athlete being in shape,
Speaker 2: but look, we've overreacted athletes not being in shape. We've
Speaker 2: talked about Luca a million times, the whole metroplex has
Speaker 2: and so here he is the first year he's making
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars. He doesn't ever have to work ever again. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he cares enough to have like zero percent body
Speaker 2: fat in a year where he finally has a great
Speaker 2: number two receiver.
Speaker 1: That's high character. That's high character. He could pea could
Speaker 1: coast right now.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of our buddy Travis.
Speaker 2: Frederick really did not need to come back and play
Speaker 2: after his condition, but he was like wanted to prove
Speaker 2: that he could, and so we did.
Speaker 3: I've never won, that's high cared that question about Dad, agreed.
Speaker 3: I've the question jolways about the things surrounding Dak, And
Speaker 3: then I do have the big game thing because at
Speaker 3: some point like, yeah, you have to go, well, what
Speaker 3: is it?
Speaker 1: That's every sport.
Speaker 3: But he's also been huge in big games too that
Speaker 3: we forget about five years ago it was just like
Speaker 3: a wild card round game. Yeah, there was his body
Speaker 3: on the line and gets tackled at the one yard line,
Speaker 3: and we remember those things.
Speaker 2: But I thought he was great as a rookie against
Speaker 2: Green Bay. I thought Garrett lost that game for him.
Speaker 1: I think what's around them is so in pit of the.
Speaker 3: Coaching yeah and yeah, Schottenheimer, we should just I guess, go,
Speaker 3: I don't know, and we just.
Speaker 1: Kind of wait and see. I mean, I think it's
Speaker 1: like I don't want to be the guy that's.
Speaker 3: Like, well, this is gonna this is never gonna work,
Speaker 3: because what if it does?
Speaker 2: Right, But it is a little bit like I don't know,
Speaker 2: if if KT got fired from our show again again
Speaker 2: and we just walked out in the hallway and hired
Speaker 2: the first person that was like standing there, who was
Speaker 2: out there, It's a little bit like that, like if
Speaker 2: AA was out there, I'm good, right, Well, I mean
Speaker 2: today there'd be no.
Speaker 1: One, right, yeah, yeah, And we're.
Speaker 2: Just talking on but in the office again, I was.
Speaker 2: I was so frustrated with the shoddy higher because I'm like, yeah, dude,
Speaker 2: you go get the best coach on earth. But I've
Speaker 2: heard him talk and now I'm brainwashing now I think
Speaker 2: he's gonna be the best coach in the league. I
Speaker 2: do this every year.
Speaker 1: It really feels a lot like the Campo higher. They
Speaker 1: could be good. That does That's the thing is they
Speaker 1: could be good. Oh, I think they're gonna be good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And and even before you know we're sitting here talking
Speaker 2: about Shoddy, I was just sitting here going, I think
Speaker 2: their offensive line is going to be better, and I
Speaker 2: think Dak has weapons.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 2: The only thing that like frustrates me is that there's
Speaker 2: no reason the amount of money that Rico got we
Speaker 2: shouldn't have given to him.
Speaker 1: For sure.
Speaker 2: I mean, I would feel so much better if he
Speaker 2: was our running back option.
Speaker 1: But you know, maybe the kid out of you t
Speaker 1: is gonna be good. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: Coming up in just over three minutes, don't go anywhere, man,
Speaker 2: a scouting report on Cooper Flag that had me extremely excited.
Speaker 2: This is very compelling audio. You do not want to
Speaker 2: miss this. Just three minutes away. Next on the EAGLESHO

Speaker 2: I'd love to get into some audio that one Kevin
Speaker 2: Turner has procured and Ben, we love comps.
Speaker 1: You said it the other day.
Speaker 2: We had our buddy Teddy Imrick on when we were
Speaker 2: down at the American Airline Center and you were like,
Speaker 2: I want to comp I want to comp on Cooper Flag.
Speaker 1: Comps are fun.
Speaker 2: But we have one from a guy who I love
Speaker 2: anytime this dude is talking, and that is former NBA player,
Speaker 2: current Celtic analyst Brian Scalabrine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's on with Dan Patrick. That's you. You're
Speaker 1: going to hear first. Give me your non white guy
Speaker 1: comp for Cooper Flag.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, I don't do the white guy. I think
Speaker 4: I think it's Lebron James, but he's without having to
Speaker 4: be like two hundred and sixty pounds and like a
Speaker 4: freight train. Cooper Flag is a supercomputer, Dan, He's a
Speaker 4: super computer. Everything you tell him within twenty four hours,
Speaker 4: he figured it out the next time you tell him
Speaker 4: something else. I was working him Mount in Maine. On
Speaker 4: day two. I pretty much came to him and his
Speaker 4: parents and said, listen, I can't help you anymore.
Speaker 1: You need to reach out explain how this happened.
Speaker 4: So his trainer and me are really close friends with.
Speaker 1: That's enough, I think, wait, I kind of want to
Speaker 1: hear you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so his trainer and me are really close friends with.
Speaker 4: Cooper was not even a high school student yet. He
Speaker 4: was a freshman, but he hasn't played a high school game.
Speaker 4: Cooper came down to play in my pickup game down
Speaker 4: here in Boston. You know, it's about a three hour drive,
Speaker 4: maybe four hour drive. He came down and he wanted
Speaker 4: his trainer wanted me to get my eyes on Cooper,
Speaker 4: and he told me I got a thirteen year old
Speaker 4: that could play against you Maine kids, and he could
Speaker 4: hold his own and Dan, I don't believe that for
Speaker 4: one second. It's another over exaggeration of a kid. But
Speaker 4: after seeing him, I totally believe it. And he said
Speaker 4: it would always be the same thing. He'd kind of
Speaker 4: take like fifteen twenty minutes to figure it out and
Speaker 4: then he's like right there neck and neck with twenty
Speaker 4: three year old twenty two year olds when he's thirteen
Speaker 4: years old.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: I saw it for myself. It was the same thing
Speaker 4: when he came down and played with us, and from
Speaker 4: then on, like I kind of like made some phone
Speaker 4: calls like John Shire and USA Basketball to like, no,
Speaker 4: I don't think you guys understand this guy.
Speaker 1: Is like, let me jump in here. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So one of the things that Maverick fans forever should
Speaker 2: celebrate is John Shire.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot over the last few days.
Speaker 2: He basically Duke had good point guards as a and
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know that I heard this
Speaker 2: as a favor whatever, but John Shire is like, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna give the ball to Cooper Flag and
Speaker 2: let him run our offense. And it's put him in
Speaker 2: a position to where today Jason Kidd is talking about
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag playing point guard for the Mavericks.
Speaker 1: The fact that he did that at Duke.
Speaker 2: Keep in mind Bankaro when he was at Duke didn't
Speaker 2: play point guard, but now he's playing point guard in Orlando.
Speaker 2: Like that, he's he's They allowed him to do something
Speaker 2: that they haven't let other players do at Duke. And
Speaker 2: that the whole reason that today Jason Kidd can be
Speaker 2: on that state sand I want to play him at
Speaker 2: point guard this year is because of what he went
Speaker 2: through at Duke this year. If that doesn't happen, we
Speaker 2: may not be having this conversation. And dude, I love Scalabrini.
Speaker 2: Scalabrine is awesome. He's one of those guys who every
Speaker 2: troll on the Internet who thinks they're good at basketball.
Speaker 1: As a guy, he sucks.
Speaker 2: He's a spare, Like we would have people tell Jesse
Speaker 2: Holly he was a spare who played for the Cowboys,
Speaker 2: also played basketball when a national championship at North Carolina,
Speaker 2: Like you're a sparem Like, dude, do you realize how
Speaker 2: hard it is to make it into professional sports.
Speaker 1: It's so unbelievably hard.
Speaker 2: And so Scalabrini was like, all right, I'll come play
Speaker 2: anyone who wants to talk trash to me. And so
Speaker 2: he went and started playing all these guys and he
Speaker 2: destroys their he sold. He bodies them so bad they're
Speaker 2: exhausted three minutes into the game, like their legs are
Speaker 2: done because he just bodies them to death, and people
Speaker 2: don't realize how hard it is. He told the greatest
Speaker 2: story I've ever heard anyone tell in the.
Speaker 1: Most amazing way.
Speaker 2: He was at Michael Rappaport's show down at the Texas Theater.
Speaker 2: And it's not out there on the internet, but it's
Speaker 2: the story of the time that Kevin Garnett arm wrestled
Speaker 2: Glenn Davis Big Baby, and everyone on the Celtics bet
Speaker 2: against Kevin Garnett except Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett destroyed
Speaker 2: Big Baby in an arm wrestling competition, and Kevin Garnett
Speaker 2: held it against all his teammates, and Paul Pierce was, like.
Speaker 1: I told y'all, I told yo.
Speaker 2: The way he tells the story is so amazing because
Speaker 2: he was in the room. Scyllabrini's great, But dude, the
Speaker 2: hype machine is fully cranked up on Cooper Flag. But
Speaker 2: it has been since he was a sophomore in high
Speaker 2: school and now he's the number one pick, and I
Speaker 2: think he's up to the challenge because he's surrounded by
Speaker 2: hype all the time. And I love that he's a
Speaker 2: basketball robot. Yeah, he's, you know, he's he's. I don't
Speaker 2: think he's gonna get caught up in all this. I
Speaker 2: don't either, And I think Jason Kidd's a perfect coach
Speaker 2: for him. I think coming to the Mavericks with the
Speaker 2: guys that they have. I mean, one of the big
Speaker 2: things that happened in that everyone talks about that Team
Speaker 2: USA game when he was seventeen years old is Anthony
Speaker 2: Davis blocked a shot. He got it back and took
Speaker 2: it right to the rim and scored. Imagine a seventeen
Speaker 2: year old getting their shot blocked by Anthony Davis and
Speaker 2: then going I and then going right back at it,
Speaker 2: and it came down a shot, a three right over him.
Speaker 2: And now he's teammates with h Yeah. Pretty pretty fun
Speaker 2: stuff and yeah, good, good, good stuff. All right, coming
Speaker 2: up next, let's crank up the wayback machine. It was
Speaker 2: on this day, many years years ago, that Jody Dean
Speaker 2: took a hard fall at a sporting event that we
Speaker 2: were at. Let's discuss next
