He say you you didn't have team employee. I don't even have no cat. What girl? Okay? So can I get okay? I was talking about. That is the survivor. Danny McCray, I am new. He scrugs. This is players, not about you. By hotels dot com. We have a game on Sunday afternoon at Foxborough. It is the CBS Game of the week, even though the Patriots have yet to win a game at home. May Arie two and three football team. It is the power of the star, that's what it is. That is the power of the star. Boy, y'all,

you remember we've been twenty fifteen. We was on four and to half. You're still getting nationally televised games. Yes, because the Cowboys until last season had never had a game flexed on NBC Sunday Night Football since the inception of it, and I've been a Channel five working there since they brought Sunday Night Football to NBC. So the most you get, the max you can get it is three appearances on Sunday Night Football the Cowboys, you just

look up every year they were on three. They put him in for three and last year was the first time it got flexed. Bro was not a good night. Hey man, listen, when you lose dak Yeah, your defense playing the way to day, playing the yeah, you know, they have no shot losing records, and it hurt man, It hurt me. But what saved us that year of the twenty fifteen was so Romo goes out, but there's anticipation that he's coming back. That's what he comes back from Miami. We get the dub. We did put out

an Instagram or a tweet. He said, what we're gonna do? Win them all? And then the following week yeah, yeah, yeah, Carolina came to town that way. Is it Dan Morgan that got him? Nah, it was Ckle because Morgan was the linebacker. Then they drafted and they drafted kick. Yeah. I knew, I knew it was was a rough night. Number fifty nine one one of the more surprising retirements early retirements in his career. Keickley was good football player.

Le let me tell you something. He was getting and hit the concussions that he was getting and when you was scared him, the look on his face and the way his body reacted, it was like like I wouldn't want to take any more of those either. Right, They're different type of concussions. You can get the ones that you know you can go home later, and then you realize you have a concussion. You can actually get one in the game, but you still okay and still trying to go back in and the coaches take you out

to try to take you out. And then this ones like Daniel Jones got that you saw last week, where where your legs don't work right and you walk into the wrong side of the field, And those are the scary ones that Qickley continued to get those for like the last three or four years before you retire, So he was going to think the last one he was just on the field crime like it was just like, man,

that's that's a scary sight. Controls all these emotions. I've only had one kind of concussion, now, not as bad as that, but the only one time I had it wasn't Toledo hit a dude out of bounds and like my body locked up, like I'm on the sad just locked up. And then it took me, like man, maybe five seconds and I just broke out of it, and I was like, man, what the heck was that? You know, I didn't get to go back in the game, but I just can't imagine having something severe than that. That's

gotta be a scary sight, man, for sure. You guys know, being former undrafted free agent safeties with the Cowboys, what that is Back in the day when they used to let the media stand on the sideline for the entire game. I was on that sideline at Texas Stadium when Troy when they're scrambling and LaVar Arrington comes and LaVar Arrington hit him, and Troy went down with the last game he ever played. And when he went down, I literally

feared for him because it was that wicked. And until you and unless you've ever been on the sidelines, you just don't under stand how wicked it is. And if you've never met LeVar Arrington. That's a big man. Ain't can run like a bigger micah to be that big, that strong, and he can't. And he I mean he came and Troy's as tough as they get. Troy big dude as well. Let me tell you. So, it's nothing you can do about concussion. You could be as strong, it's tough, you can lift as many weights, you can

do everything you want to. It's nothing you can do to fend off something like that. But if it happens to you, it's like, man, I gotta go train a little bit harder so I don't get concussion. Nah, that's nothing you can do. Roles And that was back when it was a Texas state. That's when they had that old astral turf too, right, Yeah, so his head was just banging on that thing. It was just one of those moments for me watching it in person, where when somebody tries to say, you know, I can do that.

They're overpaid, and I've said the people you if you qualified for the pension, you've given some part of your body to hurt. It gears absolutely, without a doubt. The first time I ever got to get around a whole bunch of Hall of Famers. I was working in Los Angeles and Deacon Jones had an event, so he was Diacon Jones, so he brought them all out Man, current Stars,

old star. I hadn't seen so many guys who couldn't finish a round of golf, Guys who couldn't walk straight, Guys who shake your handy, Anthony Moon, you're shaking hand and finger going that way and just knuckles and and you know, guys were limping, and we talk about great players, and it just then it hit me. They gave, they gave a part of themselves to play this game. Yeah, and it is a I took me. I think it's

one hundred percent casualty, great sport. I don't think anybody who walks into this thing walks out of this thing. Their body's not the same. And the worst part about it is a lot of times you won't find that out to your forty five because because the likelihood of your career going into your forty is really low. Time Brady is one of those guys that you being and all that, but usually you're like twenty eight, twenty nine. Some people get into the early thirties, then it's over right,

but you're still healthy and feeling okay. He's still young relative. And then five six or seven years lady, like, man, my elbows up, So what's it? What is it for you? What is it for you? Oh? My back? I listened. I was I was absolutely fine. I was still working out, running around and literally I bent down to put on my workout gear and my back just locked up. And I'm like, I'm trying to figure it out. What's going on.

I'm going to the doctor and all that stuff. I had to go spend some money on a new sleep number bed. You know, I'm doing a different regiment now, and I'm just like, is this the beginning. I'm thirty three. You ain't laying like that old man. You know what I'm saying. It's still some time to go. But thankfully the pension is there. NFL did set up the hospital network things. So I got my packet in the mill and I will be using that anytime I feel like

a compagne. So uh, you know, I'm just I'm just trying to be prepared for this stay as healthy as possible. And for me, it was it was the Achilles Like for me, you know, while I was playing after my achilles.

I really didn't feel nothing after that. But these couple of years that I've been out of the league, it just stiffens up on me from time to time to where I'm might getting out of bed and it's like, you know, you know how your hamstrings get tight, Well, my achilles and cat gets tight, and I'm like, man, what in the heck it's going on? I gotta do extra stretches. Like before I even run. I used to just be able to hop out of the bed. Let

me just go jog. Now it's like, man, if I do that, who knows what's gonna break on my legs. So I'm like, man, I gotta warm up extra heavy just to get going. But you see a lot of guy, younger guys that you know we're done with the league, and then they just figure out, you know, everything's all good, and I'll get checked up. Make sure you go in, get checked up, use all the benefits, you know those,

don't waste those benefits that the league gives you. Get checked up, make sure your body's in good health, and get get it, get it, get your things done while the NFL is still on the NFL's dime. You know what, I mean, make sure you get all that stuff while it's still on the NFL's dime, because you do, you

don't want to get later on in life. And you're like, man, I backed my knees, my shoulders all jacked up, and you're coming out of your own pockets for that song, young players, make sure you get checked up while the NFL is paying for that thing for you, all right, players Last by hotels dot com. Barry Church didn't even create New he strugs. I had a conversation last night with Tad Prescott, the man. We were talking about New

England and it was over. It was over Lab's and Clarence Hill of the Star Telegram host host writers and he ended up bringing out Tad and Nathaniel Prescott, Dak's father, and Um Johns Show Taylor was there too. So we're kind of talking breaking down in New England game and I mentioned what you were talking about. Yeah, I said, hey, you know, Jigs just playing really well right now, Scott to start to watch out for those double moves. Tad's like, who who's gonna Who's gonna throw a double move in

New England? Who's gonna do it? Who did? They haven't you act like Aguilar ain't fast. Now hold on, he might not be the greatest receiver of all time, but he's got it's still fast and will go buy you on a double move. And they sleeping. First of all, mac Jones was a first round draft pick for a reason. Well, you know what I'm saying. We watched him at Alabama. Let's not act like him and the slim was the slim Reaper, right like, they was not that making stuff happen,

all right. So, like I said, when I say that we're gonna beat them ten plus, I'm not saying that mac Jones will come out here and play horrible if we don't go out here and play the way we're supposed to. If Trad Diggs doesn't go out here and realize, hey man, I've been making a lot of plays on short routes. Right, So maybe just maybe somebody gonna watch that film and say, if he ain't ready for the

double move, we're gonna score on him. Right. If he's not ready and prepared for that, and he's sleeping, say hey man, I'm gonna get my eleven, the twelfth and whatever pick. But yeah, he's gonna have a long day because what we're not gonna do is we're not gonna act like if if Mike Glennon didn't put that ball out there for that receiver, that that wasn't gonna be a big gang all right. That was the ball was behind him and you know one of the metcalfs that

wepped out a different way. Yeah, you can get Diggs made ahead of a play, but let's not act like that ball wasn't under thrown. And so you look, I'm hoping it's just Tad Prescott, you know, you know, just yeah, we're just stuff. We're good right now, and not the rest of the team acting like this because you can't sleep on it on a Bill Belichick team and these guys they might not have the greatest receivers of all time, but all it Texas and step to get beating his leg.

And then Tad brought up that, you know, hey, he goes against guys like Cooper who can run double moves in practice, so he'll be ready to roll. I don't know about all that. It just make sure you're ready. That's not the game. Yeah, we talk about practice. It's a game. It's different, man, it's different, and you don't know you're in one on ones, you don't know you're in past period, you don't know your employee experiod. Like

the game is. The game is so different than practice, like it practice helps you get ready, but the game, man, it's it's really unpredictable, like the moments of the game. But whatever the play calling dictates, well down the distance, time, how much we're up and how much we're down. Everything is different than the game because you, like you said, and you get periods, and you know what periods coming up, seven on seven of course that's all passed. Then you

get the one period where it's all strictly runs. Then you get another period where it's play action passed, so you know what's going on. You're gonna be ready for that in the practice period. But just like Daddy just said, in the game, you know, man, what if they're lulling you to sleep with a couple runs? You just like how these dudes ain't none he coming out to just to just block me then take off on you. You

always have to be ready. I hope that Ted Prescott was out there watching practice and it was third and short period and and killing more was like the coaches had this meeting and they said the same thing. We said, hey, man, we need to check and make sure this guy's ready to play these deep balls. And he got nothing but double moves the entire time. Right, it's third and six, double move going deep, third and three, double move going deep,

just to keep him on his soues. And that's the type of stuff that we used to go through with with Jason Garrett when he was here, you know, so we can have some some guys prepare for the situation he's short yardist period, next thing, you know, double move to dead. There's always gotten ready. So fun conversation with Tad and I said, man, you got to come in on players, and he said, if you want to happy, see he's being more to happy. So um to looking

forward to that. He's back. He's back in school, so he's trying to get his degree and he's in a good place. That was the biggest thing. He and his father in a good place because it was tough and they talked about losing losing you know, a son and a brother to suicide. They talked about, you know, what they were going through to watch Dak and his rehabilitation to come back. So it was it was great It was a great conversation. They were very real with the audience,

so it was a lot of fun. But Tad got some football opinions. Now I love to have my head. Yeah, yeah, we've seen the tweet. He always come up because of that. That was Cowboys thing, come up on my whatever I click on it. Tad Press got the top retweeting, the quoting and tweets. Did you bring up the bring another corner in here to replace? Did you bring that up? No? No, I did not, But speaking of a corner that a whole lot of folks want it. Remember all the Richard

Sherman fans. Oh, feeling up the timelines. Man, Dan Quinn knows Richard Sherman. Y'all go get you get rich sher Like folks. Richard Sherman is on the streets for a reason. Last like my hammy, ah my hand man, I'm telling you man. And then I saw the edge of a little hall on it was a good morning or good morning football or something like that. He would put them on blast too. I can go out there and do

better than Richard Sherman. Right now, then, I'm like, I don't want to say he just pulled himself out but I mean if like ever since he touched down, the Tampa quarterbacks just been looking worth five that worse five that man when they ran that that seven round fakefully he was going inside and received one outside and you saw Richard Shermon three yards behind, and he was I'm talking, you know, when you come around the corner on the

on the fool hunt. He was digging. Yeah, when your back then start tightening it up right and your head up that. I said, oh yeah, we hen back that. They looked like, oh, he got a good stride, he's running well. I mean, that man ain't tearing up no grass out there right now. And this is just so you know. I was not one of those guys who was on the Richard Shermon bandwagon. Okay. I was a cow Fuller guy and Patrick Peterson guy because they were both available and I thought that would have been some

really really good help for our secondary. Now turns out Trayvon Diggs turned to a whole different player with our hairs, and Joe Witt and and and dan Quinn got in here, so I'm they're smarter than me. They saw something that I didn't see and knew he saw it. Did second so I give you your props on that second contract type of guy. But man Sherman Man, I was like, wow, So to poor Todd Bowls, I mean, they are dropping

like flies for his Tampa Bay bucket. If they they were going against Hurts, right, they ended up winning the game. And uh, look the Cowboys. Seeing the way this division the games are this week, Cowboys might have three game leaves. They could be beat New England. Everybody else loses in the division. So and that thing in Philadelphia is a hot messing. You texted me during the game. They said, Hurts isn't that guy. I'm sorry. That's not a good offense.

It's not. But his ball placement wasn't good either. He had some issues, you know, throwing the ball, got some issues. But at the same time, can you help him? Yesterday I just looked on one carry from Miles Say that was his pocket he had nine Bro, I didn't touch the guy. My fan is at the beginning. But at

the beginning of the year. Bro, what when we talked about Philly, I said, Man, if you get an offense with the Jalen Hurts and a Miles Sanders in there running the read option, that is something that defenses should fear. The dudes ain't fearing this. First of all, ninety percent of the time they Jalen Hurts is running that he don't even touching Miles Sanders, and what you see at the end of the game, Miles Sanders get some carriage. What happens? Twenty yard run? Run a yard run. I

got him with my fans. He gave me seven. The crowd stood up that class. Yeah, the Clouds stood up in class. Not even on a positive run. It was just a running five yard It was like five yard game, and everybody in the league stood up. Way to go, Way to God, Nikki. I couldn't believe it. It was. It was absolutely terrible. And I keep going back to this sense of what are we watching from Kellen Moore,

the Cowboys offensive coording. Right now, you're watching the guy that's coming up with game plans and he is taking advantage of his town. The Cowboys look really good. You're just having to pick poison. They interviewed him and said, you know, we think Nick Sirianni's a better He's going

to be a better head coach. Wow, Wow, right now, Jim Howard, Rosman owner Jeffrey Luis, Please tell me what you saw in those interviews that told you Nick Sirianni is going to come out here and be a better offensive coordinator, help a quarterback, and come up with some better game plans than Kellen Moore. I'd love to hear what let them into that situation. So he told him he was in the lab, him and his friends. They went in. They figured out some stuff that nobody else

knew about. Because it looks very similar to what we were going through last year. You got that, and I guess because he stood next to Doug Peterson. They couldn't get Doug Peterson that that was the next best thing. Must be that guy. But you're running the offense that Andy Reid ran, because Doug Peterson was an offensive coordinator from Kansas City before becoming the head coach Philadelphia. There's a guy who's running that offense and standing next to

Andy Reid right now could help them. It would be a much better head coach then Nick Sirianni. But hey, I'm glad Philadelphia didn't want to hire Eric bit Me. I mean, Jesus pe talk about unbalanced. How you only rush one time? I could see if it was in the second half, you down, you know, and you gotta throw your way back into the game. But just still the first half and my guy only got one car healthy,

you're healthy, number one running back? Do you do not understand, like you gotta keep defenses off balance if they know that's all you're gonna do is pass it though, secondary guys and the defensive line, and they're gonna pin their ears back and they're gonna be like, oh, here we go, here we go. They ain't got no rushing and then your defense, your defense is looking out there like here we go with another three an out, you remember that. And they were playing well though, like they gave up

some touchdowns. But there was some points in the game where I think they almost had two picks. They got one one should They were getting some stops out there, and it was like, we ain't moving nothing, and then all of a sudden, they ain't get the trash time and you say, oh, yeah, offense did something. Y'all. Can't do nothing, y'all. If I'm a defender, I'm salty, right, ye ain't one? Thank god, was in the non competitive

phase of the football game. That defense for Philadelphia was on the field for forty minutes last you gotta be sixty. In the first half, they were on the field for twenty one minutes. And I am getting to the point in time and I think, if you're if you're a Cowboy fan, watch and see where does this locker room in Philadelphia end up going? Because it's clear the head

coach is outmatched. It's clear if you listen to the post game, you heard the quarterbacks say we don't have an identity, which I thought and took as the quarterback saying can you help me? Can you help me? Because as you said, you said, he's not that guy. He's not ready to do what they're asking. You can't put it all on him. He's not ready to put it all on what's the what's the who? And what is the best friend of a quarterback? Running game? And they've

been giving him no run game at all. Yeah, I mean one of the things he's still not that ad of. Yeah, I don't believe. I don't. I don't think he is as bad. A bridge is what it looks like. I think the four bridge, four or five year a guy, I give that. I think I listening. I think with the weapons that they've like invested in the weapons around. Yea, they have a good running back to have a good defense. They got two good tight ends, and you're calling he's

the leading wrestler. This is what you're calling if I'm got Lamar. But but if you're looking at his passes, man, some of them come on, now, some of them. He missed that deep, had guy back a couple of steps. He threw it inside over there. I forget who's trying to throw the two on the other side, got it broken up through the through the terrible deep interception to Dean Deep. He's just he's not sitting in the pocket right through that same deep pans that got picked off. Now, no, no,

I'm saying. I'm saying, as far as he made some bad throws, but he also made boss, you gotta sit there at least for a second. You know, you ain't giving yourself no chance if you're just cutting the field down like that. He's yet to play a full sixteen games in the league as a starter. He played ten. Yeah, his rookie knee's gone through two head coaches. And this head coach is not good. He's not good at all. Let's take a break. I've into the Cowboys and the Patriots.

I was concerned when I saw that Tyrant Smith miss Practice has an MRI. But I'm gonna tell you exactly why you should have no fear about seventy seven. I'm called Sunday. I got great information.

I love you, Bret Cowboys Patriots Sunday. We'll make our predictions in the second. Will you take

another predictions for this? Uh. Near the end of the show, Tyrant Smith did not practice. It's not going to practice today. I had an mr right on his neck. So Mike McCartin says, no practice for him today Trayvon digs with an ankle. I have no fear. You should have no fear because today on his radio show, Doctor Jerry Jones said they're both going to play boom, there we go. That's but the fear is not for him not playing this week. The fear is last year, you go out,

how many games he missed? He was all right, So he played two games. He played two games, right, and why did he leave the season? What did he have? Surgery on my neck? And my man? Okay, So so now when you see him on the injury report, what is he what's listed on there? It's an ailment that neck. So that that's the fear. Nothing against the guy. Okay,

he's playing great, twenty whatever, twenty eleven, looking great. What's scary is you had surgery on this with five weeks into the season, and now you're popping up on an injury report for that exact thing. It worries. It's definitely concerning because I mean the sport, we're in his contact and he's you know, he's on the offensive line, so he's banging eh in every play and it's not like your next gonna get better as a season goes on. I mean, we still got what, you know, twelve games.

Now we're talking about going to the playoff even more so it's like me, so it's next definitely not gonna get any better. While out there banging guys. You know, I'm like shops there on OFFICI line, just going at it in the trenches. So it's a little concerning to me. To me, he concerning. You know who read that and felt real good. Tie and Secky's agent. I thought, this

is good for your clients, This is good. This is good for Taran Steele because because Lall's coming back and you got a swing tackle down well, I mean for Stell's good. But we were we remember we were talking earlier this week. It's Tie and Secky gonna make it because of where Steel has solidified you. That's he's your number three tackle right there. So within Seki, well you're keeping Secky maybe Brandon I okay, okay, it's good for him to getting killed for still possibly getting baid. So

that's what I'm saying. He's agent because it looked like, you know, hey, if if Tyrant's fine and the College is back good and we got still do you need and Secky because you know they're going to have to start to look at the ros No man, not now then the Cowboys. They set themselves up pretty good right now. I mean we know before in the year's past, if we lost you know, a Tyren Smith or a dak Pres, I mean it was over with. Now if we lose Tyren Smith, we got a guy I can get in

there and at least be productive. And Terren Steell, I mean we've seen him these past five games. He's another slouch out there. He's playing pretty well. So I think they set themselves up for successful. I don't want to be right, Okay, So you know what, Tyren Smith is gonna be healthy. Yeah, he's gonna be healthy. We got we got got Michael, We got Michael Parsons draft. We didn't get the old lineman for Leo already out there, could have used the left Tyrn. But he's gonna be healthy.

He's gonna stay healthy because honestly, the dude is playing great football. Yeah, he's playing and of the highest graded up you know, pff, he's the highest graded You know, I was a lineman out there. You know, you don't see him getting those those holding calls that he started getting when he was injured, not able to play up to one hundred percent. He came back in shape. Looks really good out there. Man, he looks like Tyre Smith saw. I really do pray that that he stays healthy. But

I mean that does worry me because he hadning. So he's continuing to build on his Hall of Fame candidacy. And there's certain guys that look on this football team and say, you like got Tyred Smith, Zack Martin, a Dak Prescott, they need a super Bowl in their careers

if they ever want to think about getting into Canton. Yeah, these are things that you need because when they start going down that list, so many of those guys have been been in a Super Bowl and if not, have they wanted Tyrant and Zachney one or you think day in without it? It just helps you. And I talk to those VOCA these are the things that they look at and what they judge you on. Hey, were you a championship player? Did you help your team win a championship?

When you have that, it helps you. And so that's why I just said, looking at guys, right now and with the Dak Prescott obviously the way they protect quarterbacks today, you could play for a long time. Remember we were talk about Drew Brees. I was kind of giving you

those numbers of drewid his first four years. There's no way in the world you really look at the first four years and Drew Brees and think that this is a guy would end up with fifty nine thousand yards of passing at all, five hundred yards, five hundred touchdowns.

I mean, you just didn't think that Dak Prescott is going to have that kind of ability if he stays healthy and continues to play at a high level that I believe if he wins a championship, you can start to put yourself in the kind of conversation to get in the room when when healthy Tyrn Smith, is he the best left left tackle in the league. I say that to that because I'm only thinking that Trip Williams, that is we played against Trent. He seems like he's

gotten better. Missus Washington the whole year. I mean, it's missed the whole year. Didn't David back TIERI, but didn't he make the He's made a couple of all pims like he's out the right he got for the season. Yes, he put him like this. And somebody once said, uh, if you're calling the honor roll on this, ain't gona

take long to get to his name. Yeah, I'm saying Hall of Fame and like you need the super Bowl, right, because I'm saying the guys that are there who don't have one, it's a few guys there, right, because Trenton has been in the league just as almost just as long as us. Right. So the thing that will separate you, like newis is that super Bowl ring? Right? What separates you from the pack? Super Bowl? D weare what's separates dware right, and got a super Bowl. It's just an added.

It's just an added. And I can't remember the number that I that I was told. But when you looked at just you know what, guys, guys who they bowled in the majority of these guys hip won a championship in their career. And if you haven't one, you have at least pretty much played for it. You know. That's and as an offensive lineman, that's such a hard thing to judge, so right, so they look into that. So he's got he's got one of the first things you need.

He's got the All Decade, So that right there lets everybody know, hey, when this guy played for a decade, he played it at one of the highest levels. And so you add a Super Bowl ring to the All Decade, all the different Pro Bowls there, then that's the kind of thing you need for your candidacy. Same thing with with Zach Martin. They're building that kind of resume. And then as a quarterback with the Dak Prescott, you know, if you play for a long time, you win a championship,

you're going to get into the conversation. And then once you're in the room and you get the end of the conversation, who knows what happens. But without it, I take a guy like Ken Anderson. He won an MVP as a quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals. So one of MVP board went to Super Bowl sixteen, lost the game. Can't get in you win that game. It's a whole different type. It's a whole different type of story. So that's that's that's how tough it is. But you know

it's rare. You're did you watch guys and you start to see, hey, they're building that kind of resume. You got two guys who are doing it, and then you got another guy. In terms of a guy like Dak Prescott, you win a championship for the Cowboys, He's gonna put down a whole different level. Like Eli Manny won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants. I always say to people, he had two great he had two great runs.

I don't think he had a great career, but it's going to get him in the room, especially the guy he beat. Right, And once you're in the room and thing can happen. What do you have to do to be in the Hall of Fame at the University of Toledo? Like then you gotta like national champ. But why I ain't no champ? What did you win while you were there? Like what? Like? What was the criteria? Because you didn't give him no money? No? Hold hold at that hold

that thought. We'll take break when we come back. He will run down the resume. I got you. He will run down the resume.

Yeah they missed you really quick. Yes, you get it now, yeh what I've been there, man, I

ain't gonna lie to y'all. Man. Back then, I was that guy like you at Toledo. I was that guy. I was the first hybrid type safety back of type. You know, I did my way the things I mean, you can't have been I'm telling you, I took this thing off. I mean, people was getting csick. The waves was just but anyways, I was that guy man, I mean, four time first team on back. You know, I was kind of like Digs back then. You know, people just stopped on tours tours. I wasn't, yeah, not yet. So

he did step the game up. But that guy had had the single digit, had the eight. You know, I tried to get that here, but you know they wasn't with that. So uh that's I mean, that's how I got in there, just being what y'all win like you was there though, y'all y'all we only had that one. We only had two winning seasons out of the four. Two winning seasons out of the four. So you under five hunting for your career, five hundred for my career, Toledo, I am under five hundred. Man. He had some good

I mean, we had some good guys. Bruce Gradkowski, you know, quarterback Landsmore we'll sever from the Saints was out there. Because I don't know if he's eligible yet. I don't know if he's eligible yet, but I don't know that as soon as we play it, dudes as field incident, they might not let that. Cleveland too, probably let go. I mean, look at Yonta Johnason with Pittsburgh. He doing this thing. So we got a good representation coming out of Toledo. Of course I did my thing for nine

years in the league. So you know, you know, you know whoever is that? You were a final semifinals for the Jim Thorpe. Yeah, that's national award. When you get down to the semite. That's like twelve or thirteen cats in the nation. When I tell I was that guy? Was that? Do you do? You know who Toledo plays this week? I want to say, what's this week? Probably either Bowling Green or Eastern Michigan. Man, who they played the you know, it's end of the season. We used

to play team towards the end, but it's October. Who we played? Just tell you who we playing? Tell me who we play? The you never know, man, we got Wednesday games Tuesday. You never know when we're playing. Oh, you know, the end of the season. We played on Monday. The squad. Squad play on the Tuesday. You guys class Wednesday morning. It was crazy Okay, who we played this week? He played Central Michigan. Oh yeah, those one of the teams that they were. You know, Antonio Brown came out

of Central Michigan. Do you even know their mascot name? Yeah, it's the chippewas Man. Trying me like I don't know my maxing. I know my maxtion. They call that because we played Tuesday Wednesday, you know about the mating. So you know they're playing on the CBS Sports Network on Saturday. I'll be watching to tell you, By the way, you need somebody to call the games. Get my color commentation right, just how I ain't going back. What are you doing?

Hotel dot com? Hotels dot com? I called the game back? Who's giving you guys at work? That worked this week? Florida? I mean, I mean, what do you want me to say, didn't work? I see this happen. He's still talking about Kentucky is an undefeated football team. Who did they beat? Did they beat Florida? I'm just saying if Florida's the same team who took Alabama to the end of the game. Okay, I'm just saying, so let's not act like Kentucky is

just as bad to they undefeated, they having a year. Congratulations. They got Georgia this week though, so we're gonna see, really, we're gonna see how good they really are. I think Georgia could be the the worst NFL team. No, No, that's what I think, because I mean, the dude came out. I don't care if you brought the Patriots down. It seems good. They're good, but it aint l man you some sir. I would love to see the matchup though. Prediction time. By the way, Pintbrook's got West Virginia State,

Okay Brooks. That mean y'all gonna win. It's a battle of two teams that are three and three right now, three and two in the Mountaine's Conference. So it's so as long as nobody forefeits, it's a change. Everybody's got their COVID shots, everybody good, dude. That was a real struggle up here, man, people they weren't trying to get them shots. So the conspiracy theories live out there. Kyrie times ten, Kyrie be a hero if he ran up in that locker room, Kyrie from mayr up there man.

Prediction time, all, let's do this, cowboys. I'm gonna start Cowboys in a game that is a battle twenty seven, twenty twenty seven, twenty Cowboys favorite. All right, so it's gonna be it's gonna be a nice little battle. What you got over here? Check it? I'm gonna check the weather one more time. I supposed to do saying because that well, that depends on how many points they're gonna

win by. Okay, they say it's gonna be on Sunday and says, how sixty five Sunday outside lower forty eight, So I'm looking in between, you know, fifty and sixty. So I'm still going plus TiO. But now it's plus thirteen, oh almost two thirty one, eighteen thirty one, eighteen eighteen. Because they like were they like, they like to kick a lot of field. They kick who were gonna do offense? Who's gonna kill him offensively? For us? Who you got

on there z gonna do? Ye? Oh yeah? Punishment, punishment, punishment. I think I also think this would be one of those CD LAMB games. I think I think that he's going to have a big game this week, but I think it's going to all be predicated off how well we can run the ball, and we're gonna do that with z all right, we will and we will get a turnover, and you will get a turnment will get turn over. Were gonna get a time. Absolutely. Who's gonna have a big game defensively for us? Man big game

this week. Defensively, it's going to be my man traveln digs like it's nothing. It's no reason for me to say that. He's not going to continue this street, right, So I'm gonna just keep rolling with him. If I go to the craft table in Vegas and somebody is hot, I'm been with him, all right, what's been six I've been with you, no doubt. All right. Well my prediction, um, you know, I'm going to new route here. I think it's gonna be a little tighter than expected. I'm gonna

go twenty eight twenty one new in our Cowboys. Cowboys gonna take this one, I think, you know, I think the Cowboys will blow him out early in the first half, and then you know, they'll probably get going in the second half and bring it to a bring it to a seven point game. But I think the Cowboys will take control of this game early on and never have to worry about too much out there. We're putting our foot. The foot is on the gas pedal for the entire game.

All right, we're gonna get the league, and I think this is the game. We're going into the bye week. Hey, many, let's finish us off. Put the league gonna notice because you know you can be forgotten about during the bye week, all right because some other teams play. Let's make them remember us. Okay, So all time series it is seven to six. The Cowboys ended up winning the first seven

matchups against New England. They've lost the last six. The last time they won was that game in Foxborough and it was a twelve to six Cowboy win December fifteenth, nineteen and ninety six. Oh please saying Tom Brady showed up and we ain't got a dub since uh yeah, Actually, what's our Braidy's gone? So we back to our winn

away and go back to this Bill Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick is beating him while he's been with the Patriots and Belichick when he had saved as his coordinator the last Cowboys Super Bowl year, they came down to Texas State even won a game, and Cowboys had an opportunity right there at the end of the goal line to get it done. They did not do it. So Belichick with Cleveland and with the new England is spotless. Bill Belichick, We're gonna introduce you to the new Kellen Moore. Okay,

oh yeah, in DQ. We'll see you, baby, thank you, We'll see you. Will be all right. It's McCarthy gonna be in the building. Huh, It is McCarthy gonna be in the building. Gay love to everybody.

Thankfully, he came back to us. He's in his bag, dan quinn. McCarthy has nothing to do with that, okay, in his bad Okay, not an overseer.
