You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one the freak. If you want to call her text in the numbers two one four or eight one seven seven eight seven one n one, we're all over it. There's a good text to come in. He's not perfect, he was. He was absolutely a liability at cornerback, speaking of Ryan gosslike and he was and remember the Titans. He's like me out there at cornerback. He got burned. Looks
like I got shot when I got burned against Electra one time. First play of the game, never worked, worked it back to my side of the field. Yeah, let's say some pre sports at seven conduct kt Island. Yeah you have to play, Yeah, you have to play Electra. Yeah quite often. Yeah. Yeah, that's a place city. There's a city, cool name of a cool name of a Texas town. Yeah, Elektra. Yeah, they did lots of drugs. What was their mass, Scott
Tigers Electric elect could have done better than that. Yeah, the bullets obviously, the vault, the symour Panthers, yea, what were you guys? We're the Cubs. Cubs is unique. Yeah, that's why we have the cubby hole and yoursers Grehounds. Okay, greyhounds is cool too. Grounds is great, but there's a lot of basic you know, mustangs and tires, wolves wolves. Our big rival was a town twelve miles from Knox City called
Monday. It's m u n d a y, but you pronounce it Monday if you be about there, because no one pronounces Texas town's right for some reason. They their mascot is the Moguls. So they're named either after like a guy that is really good at business, or it's something that you ski over. Yeah, at least that's unique. I like that we're the Rams. You were a Ram Riverview Rams. I don't want to be a Ram like it used to be in a Cubs cool cute bear. I was at
my grade school. We were the Indians, and I was there when they decided to pull the plug on that wield problematic. Yeah, they did a full school vote and Stingrays one Stingrays, I don't know. It's like a hip col late eighties. Yeah, and this is also Gulf Coast of Florida, right, and this is before uh Steve burt One sure Q ratings for Stingrays were a little higher. I don't think that this death of Steve impacted your your mascot choice. They after Steve. I don't know the date and
name it after a murderer, but they did change it then. I don't know what it is now. You should have kept up. I don't go there anymore. Well, shout out to everybody went to school. Absolutely, that's it. Third minutes. Guys in the scuttle butt, Uh, you gotta really fill you in on this whole big gorilla situation. And and Madonna went full Joe Biden and Rick Mitchell of NBC five at her concert. And I've got the audio of it. It involves someone in a wheelchair. Don't
miss it. Seven thirty five in the scuttle butt. Right now, let's do this. Let's go and now sports. You know, when you say Madonna went full of Joe Biden, it really just opens the mind to myriad of possibilities. And that's why I included NBC five's Rick Mitchell in that. What did Rick? I don't dannyish. You have so many short term memory
problems, but well, we'll fill you in at seven thirty five. This is something we did on Friday. But I'll somebody says I dropped an f bomb at six p'in fifty be talking about how many cheese sticks from Alamo I could eat, And that does sound like a topic in which I would throw in a real quick f bomb that I'd be unaware of. But I can't imagine none of y'all would hear would have heard it? No one. I don't think if you dropped the F bomb we all would have gone wowa,
right. But I mean sometimes it comes real and quick. I'm saying it would have been causing that fart bomb. Why don't you take a moment to apologize everyone attention to everyone who went to school. I'm sorry if I use a bad word. I don't think I did, but one guy on Twitter or on Texas I did. So now I don't know what to do. Somebody says Carol Dragon in the house, and Dragons is a cool ass name, don't you think so? Yeah, yeah, you don't. There's not
like a ton of high school. It's way better than wildcats, you know. And before I was an Indian, I was a Spartan. Oh no, I don't think that's very cool. You don't think that's cool. Spartans kind of overdone. Now, Spartan's hard and Danny's gonna dress up as a spartan right and delivered the hound Mouth tickets to some winner. He's gonna deliver the Hailstorm tickets to to me more, dude, if your dress is a spartan when you meet to me more. We have Hailstorm tickets all week to
give away. So if you like Hailstorm, text us in and just say I like them. Let us know. No, that's not don't say that they're not yours. They might be officially, we can't say that. Okay. So football free agency begins today. Technically it's weird. At eleven am. Teams are allowed to start connecting with players and discussing contracts, and a lot of stuff will drop today. So make sure you're locked into Ben Skin Show ten to two. It will be happening kind of there on their watch.
Cowboys have a lot of things that they have to take care of before they can even consider signing a bunch of free agents. Maybe they'll do a
couple of things. Number one order of business probably figuring out the Michael Gallup situation, because if he stays on the roster, he's like a huge cap hit and everyone's like, well, he's not gonna be worth the fourteen million dollars that he would be, So they're gonna either try to trade him, and then other teams are gonna be like, we don't want him or we don't want his contract, so we'll just wait on you to cut him,
and then we'll sign him for cheap. And that's what's probably gonna happen with Michael Gallup. The Cowboys are probably gonna cut him, save the money and move on. There are other ways they could do. They could ask him to take a pay cut maybe, But I always thought it was strange when they kind of redid his contract last year and pushed his money down the road, because I mean when they kind of made that, already made the trade for Brandon Cooks, they'd kind of moved on in a way from him being
the number two guy. So I think that's a little bit strange. And now the Cowboys can maybe look for a defensive tackle, maybe a linebacker. I don't think a lot's gonna happen. I think the most interesting things that
are gonna happen today. I think Saquon Barkley could end up somewhere. A lot of people are predicting the Eagles I've seen him thrown around to the Texans a little bit, and that's probably the sexiest name right now, is Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley to the Eagles could make some sense if the Texans, because he's tight with CJ. Stroud. Maybe. I mean, if I don't know how much running backs you're going to get, I don't know, Tony Pollard, you go see how much he could get.
I don't know how much running backs you're going to get these days. Wasn't it reported that Derrick Henry was house shopping with George Seaffert over the weekend yep? In South Lake? Yeah? Yeah, no, it's actually he allegedly bought a house in Dallas last week. And you know, they liked Derreck Henry back in twenty sixteen, and he has no ties to the area to he like trains here or something. Okay, as once, did you really
yeah, the one on oak Laude yep? No, kid, Yeah, we were in line for hot food when I was behind him, and I was like, oh my god, I mean it's hard to miss that damn ponytail, you know. And he's also one of the most impressive humans you could ever stand next to you. And I was slowly like pulling my phone
out because I was gonna take a picture of Derrick Henry. But the guy kind of behind me to my left had his phone out was taking a picture, and Derek Henry whipped his head back at that guy and he said, no, no, don't do that, and then I kind of just calmly put my hand back in my pocket, like, yeah, dude, come on, get space what you order? You've been here before. Ah,
I don't know. I think I just disappeared by the salad and sandwich bar after that moment because I thought I was on the hook for it too, but so I didn't catch his order. But anyway, yes I can. I remember I said that story and someone said he trains here, his trainers here, so yes, eyes here. I don't think this means that Derek Henry is gonna be dllas cowboy because he's gonna he bought a house, gonna lay his head here. Pro tip for the salad line and the sandwich line
are two separate lines. Line yep, so you don't have to wait behind all of the salad people before you order your sandwich. Just go around and vicey versy. But the salad line is usually a little longer it is. That's my whole point. De list. Yeah, okay, but I usually get the salad. Yeah, I've never got a sandwich with me. It's one of the best sandwiches you'll ever have. That's amazing. Ye, no
joke. If if it was four million, let's say it was four million dollars, I'm throwing that out there because running backs are all getting there paid slashed, slashed, flash, it was four million dollars. Who would you either have Tony Pollard or Derrick Henry. It's a no brainer to me. What you want Derrick Henry, Yes, Tony Pollard. I think I really have Tony Pollard too, But I think Tony weirdly, I think Tony Poller can get more on the open market than Derek Henry because Dereck Henry is thirty.
Can I tell you someone who the Cowboys should back the truck up for and get. Christian Wilkins. Okay, defensive lineman for the Miami Dolphins for many years, an absolute pleasure to have on your team, like the heartbeat of the defense, a wrecking ball in the middle. And I think just a very small step behind Chris Jones, who just signed for one hundred and fifty one million, and I think is older and Aaron Donald. Like fine, he might not be the game wrecker that Aaron Donald is. I'm not
throwing him into that category. He's not far behind them, and the name recognition is nowhere close. And I hate the Dolphins apparently decided not to franchise him and he's just a free agent and I don't understand it. But that said for it being a position that the Cowboys kind of need and never prioritize and aren't gonna do anything about. Go pay Christian Wilkins to be your man in the middle and you will be happy. This is where the Cowboy's biggest
problems. I agree with you, Okay, he's awesome, and you know I'm seeing first hand up close, even more than I'm I'm going back to when he was in college at Clemson. He's awesome. Exactly what they need until they do something with Dak or get a you know, a CD done and then move his money. They can't do anything right now. So that's why the Dak thing has to happen. And if you're one of those people,
is rolling your eyes at that, it's it's fine, okay. That means you're taking the year off this year and you don't want other good players added to the team. Giving Dak an extension allows you to fill out your roster better and that is why it needs to happen. But they're not going to do it until. I bet they don't get this done until training camp, until he shaves that go to you off. Yeah, yeah, dude, just get rid of them. See they like, we want to see
how committed he is after he has a kid. Now they want us to talk about it all summer, and that's gonna, I think, stop you from doing something big like that. It's gonna be little things. Probably another name I think they will get as a linebacker because I think vander Esh is done without it being announced, and vander Esh will probably wait till after June and then probably retire. It's my guess. It may not go down like
that, but that's my guess. Eric Kendricks is a guy who played with Mike Zimmer for a long time, linebacker captain type of guy, you know, but good still. He was with the Chargers last year. I think Eric Kendricks is the name you'll see floated around here. And other than that, I don't think any think sexy is gonna happen. I truly don't, and it's not I'm not mad about it. And they just can't do anything
right now. They have a lot of money to work with. Is the NFL free agency period or especially when it you know that the when it opens up today at eleven o'clock, is that pretty much the most unceremonious free agency in all of sports. I think it's the most. Really, maybe I just like football more than anything based on the baseball sleeps now, but based on what you're you described, you're not gonna have at eleven oh one,
the wow moment that just doesn't seem like wow. Yeah, it doesn't seem to happen like that in the NFL because of you know, most free agents aren't resigned right now. These things take time and you guys will hold out. Guys will you know, kick that down to next season or or training camp or whatever. And it just doesn't ever seem like you just have these big, big deals that go down well right on the day that it's announced. Well, it's because they have this. I mean, the NBA does
it too. I guess this whole like tampering period idea. So it's like the FRIGCSE. I think it's not supposed to start till Wednesday or Thursday. But now it's just the same world like the NBA where Schefter and Ian Rappaport and all these guys will go break the news and just like Stein and Waj does for NBA, it's just there's not a lot going on in the middle of summer right when the when it happens at the NBA, and there's more
player movement in the NBA here. I think I do think it's actually very sexy, and I guess my I mean, I just mentioned Saquon Barkley. Russell Wilson with a new team. Yeah, that was hot. It was last night. Last night he drops it and I did not see. I just did not see Russell Wilson dropping a sticks video out on Twitter. I thought that was strange and to see even Sierra retweeted and posted herself as Russell dropped Year thirteen blessed or something like that, and then fifty seconds of people
waving their terrible towels in Pittsburgh to renegade by sticks. That's where we're at That is sexy Danny, that's fun and might be good. And I didn't they already cut her announcer cutting Rudolph and I didn't see them announced that yet. Now they're keeping picking out the still Trubisky's gone. Trubisky and Mason Rudolph. Was Mason Rudolph the one that got tomahawked by a football helmet? Yeah, Miles Garrett. No, Miles Garrett here lovely to kill him and got
didn't get in too much trouble. One point two millions are going the Steelers are gonna pay Russell Wilson and next year the Broncos are gonna pay him thirty nine million. What and the best part is Steelers play at Broncos next year. Oh my god, make it week one, please go win. Steelers are gonna go there paying a guy one point two million dollars that they are
paying thirty nine million, and he's gonna light them up. People are just reservicing clips of him missing because that The Broncos also traded Jerry Judy, their wide receiver, to the Browns over the weekend, and this clip just is blowing up on the Internet of Jerry Judy running down the field wide open, Russell Wilson is staring at him, doesn't throw it, and then he's off running and he gets two yards and it's so funny because it's like there's clearly
nothing there. He stakes up, like, yeah, Sean Paton was tired of seeing that. I mean, I think Sean Payton's idiot too, but like, that's that's kind of amazing how this is all fanned out. And then Baker, Evan Baker got three years at one hundred million, which he'll be like fifty guaranteed, but they essentially said, we will give you a year and a half of guaranteed money of here. So Baker gets a job after just being street trash, you know, and Tampa Bay figures it out.
So, I mean, the Cowboys aren't gonna do much because the Cowboys never do much in free agency, but I think everywhere else it's pretty it's pretty sexy. I mean, Derek Henry and Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs is another running back, and now hell, we can throw Tony Pollard in that group too. It's like the best free agent class of running backs. Austin Eckler Best free agent class of running backs it just doesn't matter. And this goes back to the zoom call from last year. You know that they're all,
we gotta do something about running back fees. I don't know, man, people have just decided not to pay you. I don't I don't know what to say. Oh, there's any change that it is where the Cowboys are right in the middle of that. And the Cowboys are kind of the poster boys for paying an aging running back way too much. But they won't do that again. They won't. But it's interesting that the Cowboys do need
the position now and they're having a publicly deal with it. So the Russell Wilson to Steelers thing is apparently done and that I don't know, so might free up Kirk Cousins or Justin Fields Falcons. That's because Falcons fans are already panties bunched up ready to get a QB. So now they're thinking Justin Fields Raiders do need one, and yeah, that could be fun in the next few days. I've seen Justin Fields to the Raiders thrown out a lot.
Just Bear said the number one pick, and Caleb Williams or seems to be the guy they will want and will get but you know, Kirk Cousins was supposed to tell the Vikings yesterday his free agency decision. I'm not sure that I saw that come down. I'm sure the Vikings will just keep him and run it back again, and then he'll burn another hole in the sweater on the quarterbacks. Here what he did. He burnt a hole in his sweater, looked at it and said, oh no, it's my favorite sweater.
It's a it's a big moment that tells you this might not be the franchise guy. So he's I believe that about Dak once. You can give me footage of Dak burning a hole in his sweater and then looking at it and going, oh no, is that a reference from the Netflick series Quarterback? Yes, I thought. So he's sitting outside his fire fireplace or he's a little fire pit outside his house. Well, no, I burned a hole in my sweater. His life's like I'll pick out your clothes for you.
It's what I do. Uh. But yeah, I know the justin Fields things fascinating for sure. I used a lot of stuff that could happen today. So there is that We're gonna do a little bit of map stuff at nine. You guys cool with that, Yeah, because I want to do one quick. You know, it's time so quick hereause I don't have a a lot on this. Another baseball injury for the Rangers, Nate Low oblique
out for a while, hoping to get back by opening day. But this is something that I think, like you do every time you win a championship, like run it back, We're gonna be good again, open up a new window. But then you remember that was an extra month of baseball, and it's kind of like, yeah, everyone's remember we've got weird injuries. The oblique. He mean, it's getting more coming, but you have, but the oblique for a baseball player, we've seen those things linger. Yeah.
And then I mean Corey seekers dealing with the sports hernia. I mean I'm sitting here going, okay, well, at least you got whit at Langford, who's was trending on Twitter yesterdays. He's like just destroying the baseball. What is a non sports hernia? Yeah, Kevin, I think that's just like a sitting hernia, sitting around hernia or is it a hernia if you don't play sports? I mean, look, Corey Seger could have gotten the hernia, you know, walking from the dinner table to the bathroom.
But because he plays sports, then he gets the cool he gets the cool name for it. What is the hernia? It's a breakdown of your Yeah, your muscle walls and your abdomen, or essentially like those the fibers break down and a bad hernia, you can have your intestines protruding through your your your abdom abdomen, abdomen, muscle walls. That's for falling out. Jesus, yeah, Jesus damn. Hopefully figure gets that fixed. I want a sports hernia. Well, if I'm gonna have one, I might as well
get a sports one. You have a hernia, I promise I'll call it a sports herny. Thank you, I'll go. You got me. Man. You don't want a breakroom hernia, No, no, I don't. I don't want a driving hernia. I don't want a constipation hernia, the most likely hernia. I don't want an awkward sex position hernia. I don't want to like sex injury. I picked up my kid hernia. No, I want a sports hernia like a real man, A jammed pinky is course.
Hegar the quietest, like best player in baseball. Ever. Yeah, I mean you could argue that, right, you could argue, I mean he's right, you know, is the highest paid, one of those highest paid athletes in DFW history. We know nothing about him, right, It's insane. And like Luca, Fine, you can argue Luca is the best player in basketball. Are close to it in the conversation. I mean, Luca and Siegert similar right in in where they rank in their sport. Luca's
more Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, where they regul their sport. Yes, you're not comparing the personality there, no, no, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, absolutely, I mean MVP MVP caliber. Du Yeah, it's basketball season and yeah, we're the home of the Maps. But Luca is just you can't not talk about him all day, ever, every day. And Corey Seeger just hit one of the most dramatic home runs in
World Series history. Yeah, and he's just still sort of invisible game You did you guys see the little I can't remember who put it out there. It might have been the Rangers, but it was a little montage of spring training stuff and it had the guys in the clubhouse kind of talking to one
another. Thing. Yeah, I guess so, and Secer was very vocal, like he had a lot to say, you know, not animated, but he was very talkative and kind of talked about the culture and the way things were when he got here and how they've changed, and really communicative with the other other players. I think he's just like that with reporters, I do. I think he's probably just just like any of those other guys in the clubhouse. A few people to like go away from la, you know,
like leave the Dodgers. Yeah. I think he's probably annoyed by it. Probably, you know, I think there's a chance Corey Seeger could go to North Park Mall and do a full lap and say one word. You just see him and you go he's tall? Yeah, maybe how tall is he? Probably he might be bigger than that six four? Okay, I think a lap and not I mean he's a brick s house, so you know, you might acknowledge that you're seeing. I don't know, but look
sure as hell couldn't one store. Yeah. And then the other thing is Corey might be able to get away with it if he went out went out to the mall without a lid. Because baseball players without caps, it's pretty Jarring. Yeah, you see them, you see them in the wild. You kind of know something. You're like, Oh, but if he puts the T hat on, it's like, oh my god, Corey Seger. Yeah, okay, he's not gonna wear a T hat in the scenario.
I will. But if he's wearing wood course, he can get more or let more notice with or without a ball cap on, not a T with you think, yeah, yeah, he'd get more noticed if he was wearing a ball cap for sure, because that's how you know him. Okay, when do you ever see these guys without caps? Yeah, but he had his hair. Did take their helmet off? Or when they slam their helmet down after a pop up, that's when you see him without caps. Damn it. Fake break the brad on the knee, break the bat on the
knee. I don't know. Okay, that's enough of that. Push your live spot again. We already pushed it. We're pushing it back one more. It's sound tired, okay, coming up next to the skullle eve him wanting more, Mikey. When it comes to live spots, I get the story of the zookeeper that get trapped inside the gorilla enclosure. At the Fort Worth Zoo next to ninety seven to one the free
