Speaker 1: I have a developing situation that'll be happening throughout the show. Ben,
Speaker 1: I just got a text from my wife that I
Speaker 1: had forgotten about. Do you remember me waking you up
Speaker 1: at two thirty in the morning because Luca, our dog,
Speaker 1: had blood in her mouth. What. Yeah, we'll get back
Speaker 1: to that a little bit later in the show as
Speaker 1: I try to remember all of that that happened. Or
Speaker 1: maybe a rat situation not the band. Maybe later in
Speaker 1: the show we'll play rat. But it's the Been and
Speaker 1: Skin Show ninety seven point one. The Eagle and we
Speaker 1: were hanging out at Rollertown Beer Works in Salina, Texas,
Speaker 1: because it is the launch of our sumo tournament weekend,
Speaker 1: one of the most fun things we do. It's probably
Speaker 1: our best event. And we have sumo wrestlers in the
Speaker 1: parking lot right now from all over the world. There's
Speaker 1: going to be a big tournament tomorrow. Plenty of food,
Speaker 1: plenty of drink, plenty of good times. Come on up
Speaker 1: here and join us. There was some good times last night.
Speaker 1: If you are a NFL fan, the draft is happening.
Speaker 1: It is going down, and your Dallas Cowboys, with the
Speaker 1: twelfth pick in the draft, have selected Tyler Brooks, another
Speaker 1: Tyler offensive lineman, Booker. I said, Booker bros. I met Booker. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Tyler Booker, another Tyler offensive lineman out of the University
Speaker 1: of Alabama. And for the third time in four years,
Speaker 1: they've drafted an offensive lineman named Tyler. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: it's a good pick. And I'm not going to sit
Speaker 1: here and pretend that I break down film. I do
Speaker 1: listen closely to the guys who do break down that film,
Speaker 1: but they've been wrong a lot as well. I remember
Speaker 1: on the Tyler Smith pick, I was so upset about
Speaker 1: that pick, and I'd never seen him play, but I
Speaker 1: was upset because the guys that I follow were saying
Speaker 1: that's not a good pick. Too many penalties. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then the led led the NCAA and holding penalties And
Speaker 1: he's been awesome. He's awesome. And I remember when Zach
Speaker 1: Martin was drafted, I was upset because I wanted Johnny Manziel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank god, I'm not running the team, as Ron Washington
Speaker 1: once said, right, And with Zach Martin retiring, it's also
Speaker 1: very much the end of an era. In turn, like
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of veteran offensive lineman on the
Speaker 1: team now. And one of the things that sounded crazy
Speaker 1: to me yesterday is when KT was saying, or maybe
Speaker 1: it was the day before, well, they need to draft
Speaker 1: a new leader of the offensive line room. And I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there, going a rookie's going to be that. And
Speaker 1: it's pretty interesting when you go out and read about him.
Speaker 1: It's he is a leader. He's a leader of guys.
Speaker 1: He's a leader of a group, he's got the right mentality,
Speaker 1: and he definitely is a guy that hopefully, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's hard to say this, hopefully will be a Zach
Speaker 1: Martin replacement. In general, over the last decade and a half,
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is still true, but if
Speaker 1: you draft an offensive or defensive lineman from the University
Speaker 1: of Alabama, he's a mean son a bitch, and he's
Speaker 1: got his act together and he's tough minded. And the
Speaker 1: other thing that's interesting to me is I was looking
Speaker 1: at the ESPN analysis of it, and a lot of
Speaker 1: people are saying, hey, man, it's a reach at twelve,
Speaker 1: but he's really good player, which who cares if it
Speaker 1: to reach if you get a guy that helps your team.
Speaker 1: But the comparisons I saw on ESPN. They compared him
Speaker 1: to Tyler Smith. Yeah, and dude, it's like, I remember
Speaker 1: the way people felt about Travis Frederick. They're like, wait,
Speaker 1: you could have got him maybe a little bit later
Speaker 1: in the draft, but it was incredibly good for them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, you get the extra year of control
Speaker 1: if you get that guy in the first And we
Speaker 1: should go ahead and back sell and tell people to
Speaker 1: go watch our YouTube channel that after dark we did
Speaker 1: with Travis. Yeah, all the stories he was telling about
Speaker 1: dealing with Bill Callahan before the draft were amazing. So
Speaker 1: if you like those kinds of football stories, go watch
Speaker 1: our YouTube channel on the after dark we did with Travis.
Speaker 1: So the main thing is there, the Cowboys were sitting
Speaker 1: at twelve, kind of in the middle of the pack.
Speaker 1: They didn't contend, and nor did they have a shot
Speaker 1: at the top five pick. So they're right in that
Speaker 1: limbo land. So they needed a lot of things to
Speaker 1: go their way. You know, I think they wanted Ted McMillan,
Speaker 1: the six to four wide receiver. That's who they really
Speaker 1: really wanted, right, and he went eight. He went eight
Speaker 1: or nine, right, something like that. Yeah, and maybe eight,
Speaker 1: But it's like, man, you know they had. They needed
Speaker 1: it to work out perfectly for them, because they won
Speaker 1: four meaningless games down the stretch. Keep in mind, they
Speaker 1: were three and seven. There were three and seven, the
Speaker 1: worst record in the league had the worst team had
Speaker 1: two wins, so they were right next to the worst
Speaker 1: records in the NFL. Dak was out for the year.
Speaker 1: They had eighteen guys on the injury report, and instead
Speaker 1: of rolling out Trey Lance, which I think would have
Speaker 1: led to losses, they let out Cooper Rush, the veteran
Speaker 1: quarterback who can always get you that win. Now McCarthy's gone,
Speaker 1: so you didn't need to win for his culture. You know,
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush is gone, he's playing for the Ravens now
Speaker 1: and Trey Lance is also gone. And it's like, dude,
Speaker 1: if you had lost some of those games even and
Speaker 1: they won three of those four games down the stretch
Speaker 1: by less, by score less, that changed your draft day
Speaker 1: prog So, dude, it just broke my heart that they
Speaker 1: didn't get the guy they wanted. And I heard Stephen
Speaker 1: Jones on the fan earlier today and he was talking about, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we got the well, we got the guy we wanted,
Speaker 1: the guy we wanted for sure, we want him last
Speaker 1: grade we had, and it's like, or we would have
Speaker 1: traded back if we'd gotten like the deal we couldn't refuse.
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, they were trying. They were trying to
Speaker 1: trade back. You were trying to trade back because the
Speaker 1: guy you wanted wasn't there because you won meaningless games.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm the wrong guy. I don't I think
Speaker 1: it's impossible to take in football, So I'm the wrong
Speaker 1: one about Tree Lance. I don't like, if you look
Speaker 1: at all those teams that are at the bottom, they
Speaker 1: were all trying to lose. No, no, but I'm saying
Speaker 1: the Cowboys ended up at twelve, and because Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: won four out of those five games, if you just
Speaker 1: lose two of those games, you get Tech McMillan. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know how to talk
Speaker 1: about tanking in football, but I understand. It's like it's
Speaker 1: alternate universe. But they One of the things I liked
Speaker 1: is that everyone out there thought they were drafting Golden
Speaker 1: who went twenty three, and it was clear they were
Speaker 1: smoke screening if they didn't get the receiver they wanted,
Speaker 1: which that guy seems like he would have been a
Speaker 1: great fit. It's great to get the guard that they
Speaker 1: wanted because also if you look, a lot of guards
Speaker 1: went later in the first round, and so they needed
Speaker 1: to get a guard. They got the one apparently that
Speaker 1: they wanted because they drafted him at twelve, and they
Speaker 1: could have had a litany of other guys, and so
Speaker 1: if he ends up being the guy that they have targeted,
Speaker 1: that has all the characteristics that they want, which later
Speaker 1: in the show, we're gonna play a really great clip
Speaker 1: of Micah Parsons hearing Tyler talk and getting really fired up,
Speaker 1: and I think you're really gonna like this. We'll do
Speaker 1: all that later in the show. We have all kinds
Speaker 1: of good draft coverage. But coming up next been Kat
Speaker 1: had prepared a really good mount rushmore of Dallas athletes
Speaker 1: Dallas actors. Coming up next in the Hollywood Shuffle, we
Speaker 1: have the Dallas musicians right here on ninety seven point one,
Speaker 1: the equal
