Cowboys hall of famer Drew Pearson called in and told us about the Number 88 club text message group!

Transcript

I'd got to ask you number eighty eight currently CD Lamb? I mean, I guess. I mean he can make a claim for being the best wide receiver in football right now, can he not? Absolutely? You know, we text each other. We got the eighty eight club, me, Michael, Dez and CD and our honorary member of the club is Post Malone. But we text each other, me and Michael, and I know I didn't even know who he was. They had to tell me who he was. I'm just learning. Yeah, but I know now he's bad. He's a

bad man. But anyway, we text each other, me, Michael and Dez during the game and I at one point where dead after CD scored that long touchdown, and I said, hey, they're talking about McCaffrey, Dak the Kid, and Jackson up in Baltimore. I reek Hill all these guys as potential most valuable players, But what about C. D Lamb? Okay, he had one hundred and two catches. It took me about four years to get that many. He's got sixteen hundred yards, ten touchdowns. Oh

my god, those are the most valuable players numbers, guys. You know, in NFL history, there's only been one wide receiver or be labeled or have been named as the most valuable player in NFL history, and that was in nineteen forty two, a guy named Don Cutson. Then you play for Green Bay. And I know this because while we're texting each other, I'm looking up this information so I can pass on to the other guys in the eighty eight club. But yeah, that's amazing. But anyway, see he's

having that kind of year. There's no question he's in that top three Mike Evans, Ceed Lamb and maybe Tyree till Off three receivers in the NFL right now. So see he's in good company. And the best way to appreciate CD, maybe at being the most valuable player on the Cowboys right now, is to imagine him not being there in that Cowboy office. Imagine him not having the season he's having within that Cowboy offense, inspecting the passing game.

You know, we wouldn't have any success if CD wasn't doing what he's doing. So we're proud of CD wearing the number eighty eights. And we got to give credit, some credit, guys, to Jerry Jones. He knows how to pick some eighty eights. I'll tell you that, Okay, picked Michael Irving and take bed Brian and fit CD Labs, So we'll let him continue to do that. I can't tell you how much little little Danny Cowboy fan growing up, loves to know that there is a number eighty eight text

group that communicates during Cowboy games. No, a question I have is CD on this thread? So he gets to read all these after the game? Yeah, after the game, no doubt, that's awesome. He's on it. Oh yeah, a club and uh, you know, when we ever got something going, we all text each other and anything comes up that we think that CD needs to know. You know, we go through the club give them that information because we know they'll respond to this. Well. But

yeah, he's on the thread. But we you know, we text on the game, but we don't want CD to respond until after the game. Okay, he better not take that face phone up that hattot. If you see the ellipses, he changes his MINDE. I have to ask on that. So when he was drafted, is there any discussion from Jerry or the team with you and Michael and if he's worthy of the ADA? I mean, was there any discussion pre him being given that number on dude, we're

considering doing this? Is this? Is this okay? And none that I know of. He didn't talk to me about it. And I'm the original ady, and you would think he would talk to me first, you know, about it. But no, it's been him on his own. That's

why I say he's done a good job. Now, we hadn't done that great in the draft over the years, you know, but he certainly knows how to pick eighty eights, you know, so, but no, we we had no say in that as far as I know, And we'd leave that up to Jerry Jerry Jones, just like you know, we leave the

Ring of Honor up to him. And let me say this, now that he got his guys in and all that clean, that cleared up, he needs to start reverting back to the past a little bit and get some guys like Harvey Martin to Tad Jones some consideration the Walls people like that, some consideration for the Ring of Honor. We're good buddies with Everson Walls, and we've had him, we had him on in this exact role picking a couple of games with us what you're about to do. And I've been friends with

Everson for a long time, one of my favorite humans. I've been lo lucky enough to befriend my entire life, and I want him in just for because what a good person he is. I'm glad you throw him into that that list of greats. Absolutely and working against him in practice. You know, when he came in as a rookie, I said, this guy got something, and I'm glad he played defensive back. Okay, because he might have had the second best hands on the team. Okay, anything that he

touched he would catch. Of course I had the best hand. Of course I didn't think you were about to throw that to Tony. No, Tony, it was bad. Now he should be that ring of honor too. Look at his stats. His stats are better than mine, and he gets no consideration for that, and that's that's a shame.
