The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is Mick Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official Dallas Cowboys have now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, and Nicky Spagnola. Well, here we are. It's a Monday after a Cowboys victory. There we go, Dallas Cowboys. We're wearing that song out. Yeah, and you know the senior pros, they kind of played like a college team on Sunday.
I feel like I was watching a Big twelve game with all the scoring that was going on, seven touchdowns in one game, forty nine points the most scored in an NFL game this season? Or was it really? Because I know at halftime it was the combined most points an the Cowboys. Forty nine points was the most scored
by an NFL team in a single game this season. Well, what an offensive passing the Seattle Seahawks who got forty eight in a forty eight forty five win over Detroit, a Big twelve game that was played last month, So how about that? Well, or an offensive explosion, which is what Mickey Spagnola was calling for on Friday. Yes, absolutely,
and it was about time. And my point being that at some point some team's going to score thirty points on you, and you're gonna need to score to win, none of this cozy defensive stuff in one touchdown or two touchdowns and the field goal kickers got to kick all these field goals. How about that they won without a field goal? Uh, first game they didn't kick a field goal, I believe right If I probably so, I
think so, I would think probably. So that was off the top of my head and I didn't include that in my column for right now this afternoon. But yeah, and so there it was. They gave up twenty nine points and you had to score. Sometimes you got to score to win. You know this whole thing about complimentary football, Well, it's great when the defense is doing its job, but when it gets nailed for twenty nine points, then yeah,
you gotta score. You know what I prefer Rather than complimentary football with the E compl I like complimentary football with an eye every day, where we have nothing but compliments for the performance on Monday. And if you think about it, uh, from a defensive stamp point, they very well would have held them to nineteen points if it wasn't for the BS roughing the quarterback penalty that took the interception away. They went down and scored a touchdown.
And then I don't know why the Cowboys thought they had to be aggressive at the end of the half when they got the ball back with less than a minute to go, throwing the ball down field, it gets intercepted and they ended up. Well, they got aggressive because the ability to stop and then and then that was that was a field goal, So that was ten ten points they kind of were gifted to the Bears. Otherwise it's forty Well that's how that's how it got to
forty nine at the end. Yeah, because had that not happened, then in the finals would have been like they wouldn't have push it, right, that's right, but they still would have got the the fumble return for a touchdown by Superman. Amazing. I mean week after weeks, that's two in a row. Well, and again on that one, it was Mica playing all the way through the whistle which never came right. I
mean he is, he's getting double teamed. He basically forces the quarterback out of the pocket and so he is fifteen yards upfield and but he hustles and is in position when a good thing happens. Layton Vanderesh forces the fumble to recover the fumble right. And then as the presence of mind that, okay, Justin Fields just decided to show off his vertical rather than touch me because standing
broad jump good thing. He was so athletic. He leaps right over back in college and you know you're going down right, and he leaps over not to you know, get a roughing penalty or whatever. And a parson stands up and goes, WHOA, I don't like anybody touched me. But but it just like the week before, he didn't give up on the play, right. And so when it comes on the heels of his conversation with dan Quinn, he talked about, you know, using his superpower. Well there
it is again. His superpower comes into play when you think that the play has passed him and he's he's got no involvement in the play. I mean, think about how far behind the line of scrimmage he started that, and how far the ball had gone, because the pass was at least fifteen twenty yards, wasn't it. I've got it here somewhere we can figure out do the math on it. Well, it was a thirty six yard return
and the line of scrimmage was the Chicago nineteen nineteen. Yeah, so you're right, so that way, and so he was in the backfield, right, that's right. Wow, I didn't even consider that he was in the backfield getting double team blocked. And then the pass is completed and it was a third and sixteen play, so they had to get to the thirty five yard line, and sure enough, and so
he was right. I remember him being right at the stix with a fumble occurred and so ball pops out the thirty six yard line and that's where he So he ran literally twenty yards upfield to thirty six yards on a play that seemingly was over And as far as he was concerned, did you hear what McCarthy had to say afterwards? And Dak, they both rolled their eyes and they go okay, and McCarthy goes, now, he's going to be at my office every day of the week
saying I need to run the football. I guarantee you. I mean, if they had decided that they didn't want to bring up Quadrea Allison, right, Parsons could have been their emergency if he was totally healthy, because remember in high school that one year he ran for like two thousand yards or some ridiculous number and all these touchdowns as a running back and playing defense at the same time. Yep. Uh And even Dak, Dak's like, oh gosh, now I got to hear this all. Well, it was a fun day.
And there was so much uh, so much that went on in that game, so much to talk about here. Yeah, just uh and it it sure makes it fun when the offense is at will just uh, you know. And I resurrected my quote from Jerry uh for my column on Friday, uh talking about all of what Dak adds to the team, that he's an additive when he comes back. And he said, and if we get that with the way the defense has been playing, we're gonna be a mess out there, meaning you know, really good. It's kind
of a Southern lingo for you know, outstanding. And he was exactly right, because that was a mess out there offensively scoring forty nine points, you know, And I was thinking, well, when's the last time they scored that many points. I was like, well, they scored fifty one against the Eagles to finish off last season, but they had. They had the most points scored this year, forty two by the offense, seven for the defense. They had the most yards gained
this year by a lot. Right, They had six touchdowns. That's half as many as they had in seven games this year. So yeah, the offense emerged and third down was huge, nine of eleven conversions, along with three of those scoring touchdowns, including Dak running for one. It was the first drive, right, he had the first urchdown, so yeah, cde Lamb gets involved. And then let's not barry the lead.
Tony Pollard has a field day out there. Although guess what, that's his second fourteen carry, one hundred and thirty one yard performance in his career, and the other one was against the I looked it up, but I forgot Giants. I don't know. Oh, I think that's I think that's who. And it was maybe two years ago, okay, because because he only his his high and in carries single game high and carries was fourteen twice and he ended up
with fourteen. One of them was the other game that Zeke missed due to injury against San Francisco a forty one to thirty one Cowboys win late in the season twenty twenty. I can't remember. Yeah, I think high and I had it written down last week. I don't have it now. Um, he had fourteen carries in game, but I don't remember the yardage off to look it up. And he had six receptions. So even going into this game on our pregame show, I said, he'll get about
fourteen carries with six receptions. Well he got less than the as far as the receptions go, but that's the load you want to give him. Now. One of the reasons he only got fourteen carries is he takes one to the house fifty four yards. Yeah, so other running backs it would take five on a good day, would
take five carries to go fifty four yards. And on that touchdown run, it was like you were watching some sort of track meet because there were guys running with him right, and he just kept pulling away and pulling away and pulling away. It kind of reminded me of of one hundred meter run. And I remember covering the Olympics that one year. Florence Griffin Florence s Griffith Joiner, Uh, the track coach, said, you know, normally when you running
a hundred meters. When you get to about eighty or ninety, you're slowing down. She was speeding up, and that's what he was doing. Going fifty four yards. He kept speeding up and left everybody behind it rather mate. But again, fourteen carries everybody. He's got to have more. He's got to have more. Fourteen carries is it's just about right for him for optimum production. It's the same same principle
at play with a rotation on your defensive line. Those guys are going to be more effective by rotating them in and then if they were playing every single play, and you you it's a change of pace, right, it's a change of pace when Zeke's out there. He doesn't need to be out there carrying the ball twenty twenty five times, and Zeke carries it five times. It's a
it's a great rotation. And you know he can't wait to see it, you know, come back again when Zeke gets back, and I think he would have a chance to get back for the Green Bay game. All right. So along those lines, we had a little birthday party at the house last night, and my daughters and son and sons in law all see that Tony Pollard. See they need to be playing Tony Pollard all the time. And of the opinion, No, we gotta love both of them, right. I love what Zeke does. I love what Tony does.
Both of them part of And I said my daughter Jordan, I said, so did you see Zeke on the sideline? And now that's what a team player does. I mean he was genuinely happy for what Tony Pollard was doing in that game. No, absolutely, he was the first one to greet him after the third. It was at the third the fifty four yard touchdown run, he was the first one to greet him. And again and they spelled him a little Davis h in his his rookie debut touching the football, had eight carries and you know he
caught the one pass it almost was a touchdown. He shows he's got a little something too. U So I think the key thing, would Pollard is you don't want to over expose him and allow teams to sort of plan and kind of prepare for what he is. And I've always used this analogy. You know, you get a second baseman that gets two hundred and fifty at bats during the season, and he bats two eighty. You give him five hundred a bats and then he's bat in two twenty and so with him, this is just what
you want to get out of him. You know, he's a home run hitter, and you know when he hits that hole, it's rather amazing. H So, yeah, what a what a great combination they'll have. And Mike McCarthy said it after I believe it was after the game. He goes, you know, Zeke's are number one back and Tony Pollar's a number one back too, and that's the way they're going to continue to look at it. And boy, and I think we saw all this nonsense before. Well you
know what, Cooper Rush, we got to play like that. No, you gotta play exactly the way they played in this game. And I know the Bears don't have a great defense, but did you see some of the passes as Dak made over the middle And a couple of them were in tight coverage, though a couple of them I thought they were playing against air. I don't know what the Bears were doing with those passes over the middle to Cede Lamb, but yeah, and then pulled the ball down
and ran with it a couple of times too. All right, we'll get into much more of that. The only the other point on Pollard. I've talked about Zeke's attitude in that relationship. Pollard's attitude as well in that relationship that goes hand in hand where egos don't get in the way of what the the whole team concept is all about. All right, we're just getting started on this edition of Mixed Shots. We got much more to cover when we come back in a moment. The Medal of Honor is

Call now two one four two two five four eight six zo K Post Company dot Com. All right, we continue on Mick Shots on a victory Monday inside the SWBC
podcast studio. Now, they're as far as the Cowboys availability today, Mike McCarthy, the regular three o'clock press conference on the day after a game, now, yes, and then the coordinators will be thereafter. We already had a conference call with DeMarcus Lawrence and we were awaiting Zach Martin. He was supposed to have an appearance. And then tomorrow we get the assistant coaches. Oh okay, not just the coordinators, all right,
they have their own day. But we haven't talked to the assistant coaches probably since training camp, I think think so for an arranged thing anyway, Yeah, and then it's a bye week and all right, so more importantly as far as the fans are concerned, not that they don't care about the coach, Yes, but what is the players schedule this week? I think today kind of a review and they do their little Monday run and lift, and I think they're done for the rest of the week.
And they had to be done by Wednesday. I mean Wednesday was the last for the CBA mandated. Yeah, they have to be done by Wednesday or I mean they get all. I think the rule was four consecutive off days Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Okay, But I think McCarthy basically told them their gift six. They they're getting more, which you'll help them get healthy because one of the things I think that got overlooked yesterday was the number
of people that were missing in the game. And if not just Zeke, Noah Brown was out, then Malie Hooker was out. They they ended up losing Anthony Barr with like two minutes to go in the second quarter in twenty five steps. Then at one point j Ron Curse had to go off twice and come back. Donovan Wilson ended up cramping out and going off. I believe he ended up coming back, and Jordan Lewis was missing, so Sam Williams and then Sam Williams two. So think about
the guys that stepped up in those guys places. Uh Dron Bryant Bland goes in for um Jordan Lewis breaks up a pass in the end zone right and really played. I thought, pretty well, you I only remember the guy he was covering catching a ball once. So you had at times Marquis Bell in there at safety. Mcquamu had to play more at safety, h Dante Fowler junior more at defensive end. With Sam Williams out. We talked about Tony Pollard, but Malik Davis got to play to help out.
Jalen Tolbert had to start as a top their third receiver when they went out there with three wide. Then Connor McGovern goes out, Jesse Peters comes in right and that was that was short lived. But Peters was in two as a blocking tight end. So yeah, um, you know they and they also because of Um Forniac missing, they activated off the practice squad. Dakota Shepley. We had talked about him, kind of a guard center, had played in the Canadian Football League and he was on special teams.
So there was a lot of guys that hadn't played as much that had to step up and play in this game. And once again we see what these tight ends are doing. And I think I added it up um. Between the three tight ends, Schultz, Ferguson, and pender Shot, they ended up playing snaps together. Schultz had forty one snaps on offense. Uh, Ferguson had thirty two snaps, and Hendershot had twenty one. Yes, so so a total of ninety four snaps for the tight ends in the game.
Now is the other one with fourteen seven hundred and eight or one hundred and seven, So that's a lot of snaps. And they went a lot of two tight end and even three tight end at times. And how about on that pallor touchdown run Ferguson and Um and even um McEwan downfield but uh yeah, he didn't have to do much just pull Zack Mark pushed the guy from the butt back. But it was Ferguson, right who
who made the key block there? Yeah springing, Yeah, So I love Ferguson, I think really good training camp and just hearing him talk and training camp, I mean you can tell, and Hendershots from that same mold. Uh, these guys, they are even though they're rookies, they have a veteran sense about them. They played a lot of football in the Big Ten where they emphasize the tight end at Wisconsin and Hendershot at Indiana, and they're they're subtly different,
you know, types of tight ends. And the Cowboys when they went into the draft, they knew they had a need at tight end. And this was a very deep draft as far as tight ends are concerned. And I know that they were looking at a guy in the second round. They were hoping to get one a second or third round. They decided to go a different direction and they hit on two of them. And this you know, obviously Hendershot wasn't drafted. That is going to set them
up nicely here the next few years. Herod McCarthy called them last week, no frickin frack. I heard that and never and I said, oh, that would over everybody's head. That's and along those lines, how about Schultz and his situation in his contract year franchise player, and he sees it, I mean, he sees these other tie ends, you know, and obviously a team needs more than one tied end to begin with. Uh And the way that as far as being a teammate. And obviously they really like each
the whole Tide End group. They really like each other. And would you like to describe the celebration the touchdown celebration? Ask you do you do you think they were? They were in some rodeo roping competition where you jump off the love it and rope the calf's legs together. Uh, that was pretty inventive. I don't know where that came from, Well it came out on a practice field or you know, it's basically which one of them the country that would
know about that stuff. I haven't talked to him enough to know. But while one guy Ferguson said town in Indiana, and Ferguson said, we played for the Cowboy. So the idea was they were the cowboys. We got to come up with something they were roping, something that shows that we're cowboys. But going back to Shultz, so he playing through injury, missed a game or two, and he's got twenty catches for two hundred and three yards ten point two average. And that catch he made over the middle
that was kind of high. He went up and got it. It was spectacular and it just shows you the value of those tight ends and he was using them almost like a long handoff right early in the game to shorten the third downs to use the tight end, and yeah, it was very effective. So I didn't hear any complaints about play calling. Right, you win, and it's like, oh yeah, now, Kellen Morrison, he's looking for a head coaching job again.
It's amazing And we'll talk about maybe that more tomorrow as we go on during the week, about all the perceptions that were out there that have just been destroyed with the Cowboys what winning six of their last seven games, six and two records. And the other thing is with the bye week hitting right now, and you talk about the injuries that they are working through right now, I think for any team this season is so long, this
is the perfect time for a bye week. I mean, you're basically right smack in the middle of the season right here, and especially as far as the Cowboys are concerned. Every year they're going to play a Thursday game on Thanksgiving. You go into the month of November and you've got you always have a bunch of games and a short amount of time. I think you could not if you were going to hand pick a week to have the
bye week. Even before we knew how the first half of this season is going to play out, this would be the week that you would hand pick. Yeah, this is where I want my bye week. Than we mentioned all the injuries that they and going to green and even now Green Base three and five, but the Vikings or six and one the week after that, and then you got the Giants on Thanksgiving. I mean, this is
a big stretch coming up here leading up to Thanksgiving. Yeah, and uh, and with all that's going to be happening with the McCarthy going back to Green Bay next week and so forth, this this is the perfect time to get healthy and to take a breath and now you start your you know, and that last half and that
was his take after the game. It's he said, you know, I want them to get away, although knowing this team, these guys will be back in here this week doing something, but they deserve a break the way they've been working. I mean, you think about it, you go back to when when did the plane leave for Oxnard in July twenty fifth or fourth round that? Yeah, yeah, and so you're looking at August up to you're you're more than
three months into it. And if you're going to where you want to go in February, okay, November, December, January, it's another three months. You're basically at the halfway point of what you hope your journey is. And you've played eight games, and some of these guys had to play all three preseason games, so that's eleven games, right, and the two scrimmages might as well have been games. So yeah, this break can't come, I think at a better time.
They're sitting there six and two, So we were waiting for the conference called the start today and somebody just kind of set out loud, well, when's the last time the Cowboys have been six and two in consecutive seasons? And I think are brought after a slight pause because he looked it up media relationships brought nineteen ninety four, in nineteen ninety five was the last time, and we know how those turned out, right, Two NFC title game appearances in one Super Bowl? Okay, so mark it down.
So how'd they do in ninety two and ninety three? They want a lot straight. I'll look it up in the break and we'll be back with more mix shots. In just a moment. We paid how much for those lessons. She's doing great. Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me a Pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh look at that. That's not the end, No way, Now it's time for the encore. You know what, You're right? Five times not enough times for everyone who traded in rock concerts for
their kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi zero sugar. That's what I like. Nobody protects you from mayhem like all stay you hear that, I'm a torrential downpour.

As we mentioned right before the break, the last time the Cowboys had a six and two record through eight games was nineteen ninety four. Ninety five, nineteen ninety three they were also six and two.
They started that year seven and two before their third loss, and then in ninety two they actually started the year they were seven and one through eight games, So that was a four year stretch from ninety two through ninety five, these Super Bowl years where the Cowboys started the season with at least a six and two record in the first half of the year. So they were in ninety one, they were five and three at the halfway point, and unfortunately, in nineteen eighty six they were six and two, and
then the ninety six they were two. In eighty six, eighty six, okay, and they were six and two and the roof caved in because Danny White broke his wrist and toured ligament in this ninth game against the Giants, and they only won one more game and the Giants never lost another game, so they wound up seven and nine that year. So in eighty six they were six and two. In eighty five they were six and two.
In eighty four they were five and three. There you go, and eighty two was the strike season they only played night in games. So so this I thought was a really good story in this game that may have gotten overlooked. But their rookie fifth round draft choice, Damon Clark got to play for the first time in his NFL career, and if everybody remembers the story, during the combine, it was discovered that he had a disc problem in his neck and needed surgery to fuse two of his vertebrae together.
Where the bad, the bad, the slip disc, whatever you want to call it was, and he started the season on non football injury. He didn't go through training camp. He could not practice with the team until a couple
of weeks ago when they activated him. And when Anthony he was supposed to just play on special teams this week, they put him on the fifty three man roster this past week for the first time, and with two minutes to go in the game, Anthony Barr gets hurt limps off with a strained hamstring and Damon Clark tells me he's standing. He said, I'm standing. Next to coach Lett coach Leon meaning Leon Let, and he said, all of a sudden, I hear coach George George Edwards, the linebackers
coach screaming, demon, Demon, Demon, you're in let's go. And he said it just dawned on me. He said, I didn't have time to think. I just ran out there and I saw it happen. Laton vander As saw him coming into the huddle and vander Esh gives them a big hug, and Clark said. Layton says, all right, brother, let's go. I got your back. And this kid played and he ended up playing forty snaps in the game because he didn't think he was going to play one
on defense. He was just going to play special teams. And he ends up with six tackles. I will say, right now you are looking at the future starting middle linebacker of the Dallas Cowboys. This guy I thought he snuffed up, snuffed out a couple runs that it had. I mean, it was amazing to me that he hadn't played in the game since LSU's final game of last season. And he comes out and ends up with six tackles
one solo, I think it was five assisted. And the team leaders in tackles yesterday, there was four of them. They had eight. He was next with six, and he played forty snaps. I thought it was an amazing story. Someone asked him afterwards, did he think about his neck? And he goes, you know, I didn't. He goes, I didn't think about it. I knew I was healthy and I knew it was ready to play football. And he just sounds like a great kid. He's got a great nature. I think he he. I don't know if yeah, there
we go at LSU. I don't know if he was the captain, but he was eighteen. He wore eighteen, right, and that says a lot about the character, right what they thought he was. He's from Baton Rouge, stayed there, went to LSU, and I just probably New Orleans and moved to Baton Rouge because of Hurricane Katrie. The family moved Hurricane Another went to Southern lab High School, same high school that produced the great Marcus Spears right, and another CD Lamb story. Because CD and he moved, they
moved to Houston. So I just thought it was a really neat story for him to not only overcome the surgery, but to get a chance to play in the game when he wasn't expected and he was ready to go. And I think that says something about a guy like that.
And I'm as you're talking, I was looking back at some draft reports now by the time, because because it was detected at the combine, the draft grades on him from the so called experts had him as a fourth through sixth round prospect because he had he wasn't gonna be able to play his rookie year, right, because he was the projection. Yeah, And so I'm wondering how was he graded before they learned that he wouldn't be able to play his first year, And I'm thinking he would
have He's he would have been third round. Now, the middle linebackers typically don't go as early unless they're just freaks of nature and and he, uh so, I would think he for sure is a top one hundred prospect, yes, and even if fully healthy. And so that shows you for him to get back mid season, before mid season of his rookie year from that and just the um, you know, because the football gods put him in the game, um you know, the first time he's active and he
gets forty snaps and shows what he can do. I mean that the Cowboys made a very prudent move there with four fifth round picks to use one of them on a guy like him, and they might have used if they had one fifth round pick, he might have been the guy that they picked. And another fifth round pick they used was on Duran Bland, the cornerback who's got to start his second game in the nickel, which is not an easy position to play as a rookie, by the way, um, and you get something out of him.
So and another fifth round pick they used on John Ridgeway, who they because of what roster maneuverings they lost to the Washington Commanders. Well, they thought so highly of him that they went out and traded for Jonathan Hankins last week to replace him basically, and Hankins play I forgot to mention him. He played his first snaps with the Cowboys, and um, let's see, he ended up with thirty three snaps of the snaps in the game, and you know, he was a he was a presence in the middle.
He ended up with three tackles. That's what you're looking for, that's what you wanted right against the run. So yeah, there was a lot of contributions from guys that you probably don't know much about. And I don't know on the TV broadcast if they made a big deal out of Damon Clark or whatever. But took a while for them to notice that he was in the game wearing thirty three thirty three. Huh Daryl probably noticed right off
the bat. Yeah, yeah, I think he did, but sometimes the analysts didn't have time to point that out yet. But um, but yeah, it was. It was a neat day for that kid. Speaking of that before we let yesterday get away as we go into tomorrow. Uh, Emmett in the broadcast booth with Darryl was great. Yes. Uh. They re enacted the hug from twenty years ago along those lines. Did you see the end of the Carolina Atlanta game? I did not. DJ Moore for the Panthers
the wide receiver, wide receiver. They're down, Carolina is down. This relates to Ibbott Smith. Carolina is down six points, final seconds of the game. P J. Walker, Uh lofts a hell Mary towards the end. Zoe, what a great throw. It was, great catch in the end zone, complete touchdown. That's how they game tied. Thirty four thirty four DJ Moore celebrates in honor of Emmett Smith. You remember the Super Bowl twenty eight MVP in Atlanta, Yes, he takes
off his helmet. The Emmett Smith rule, of course, was born because of that Super Bowl win basically with Emmott did that and in Atlanta, DJ Moore takes off his helmet in the end zone. So now Carolina has got to kick a forty eight yard field goal to win the game. They miss it. They go to overtime. Now, a he missed the extra point. Yeah, didn't feel the point after, Yeah, but so forty eight yard point after
and missed it. They go to overtime. Now, in overtime, Carolina got down and had a thirty two yard field goal to tip that they also missed. So I guess DJ Moore can say, well, we will missed the extra point anyway, and the Atlanta winds up winning on a field goal thirty seven thirty four. But I thought it was it was right after the Cowboy game ended, and that happens, and the first thing that I thought of
Atlanta Emmett, Emmett's Emmett rule. And this guy pulls that and they lose the game, and Carolina and speaking of Emmett, this is how tone. What's the opposite of tone, death, tone, conscious or whatever. Dak Prescott's got an Emma Smith sweatshirt on Emmitt Smith in his celebration on there in honor of the twenty year anniversary of him breaking Now Now. Darryl said on the broadcast that it was just happenstance that the Cowboys and Bears happened to be playing this weekend.
That it wasn't something that the league, although you make it. If I was in the league office, I'd be taking scheduled that we want Dallas in Chicago to play in Dallas that weekend. Yeah, but yeah, it was pretty amazing that well, no, no, number one, not that Emmett was there, but that Dak had to wear with all to get one of those sweatshirts and wear it. And I don't know if they sell him or if he had one mate he could have said, hey, guys, whoever he's with,
get me a sweatshirt could commemorate Emma at Smith. So it was pretty cool. As a guy who grew up you grew you rooted for who the Packers, but you lived in Chicago, I did what do you think of the uniforms. I just can't stand it. I called him. It was like they were wearing cream sickles, remember the cream. And so this is funny, My I told you last week. My college roommate was a huge Bears fan, and um,
I text him and I said, ah, they're in. This was before the game started, right, I texted him and said, oh, they're in those orange jerseys with orange helmets and uh. He goes, oh no. And then he he text me back at the middle of the first quarter and he goes, why isn't this game on there? They're showing some replay of a Clemson game and he got me right, I said, no, the game should be added and he goes, got you
reference to the orange jerseys. All right, So we'll do it again Tuesday and Wednesday, he will, and then we're gonna take some time off the rest of the week through the bye week. And so that does it for mix shots on a Monday, and we will shot at you again tomorrow at noon. Go Cowboys, Oh there you go. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
