Okay, one thirty one thirty on a on a Wednesday afternoon, Hunt Day, Survivor Day, Danny McCray, Berry Church, they're not here for this special edition of the Players Line.

Maybe you're gonna get butt naked. He's album on the wrong show. What is it naked? So I'm on the wrong show anyway, So I hope he will watch that show naked in the phrase no, I just I just heard it. Jimmy Johnson did it naked in afraid no survive survive? Yeah, that was too scared.

They would have been afraid that Jimmy would have got naked. Dude's probably had great hair everywhere. That's why I had been a friend. Go ahead, oh it, take show back over plays last Rogie by hotels dot com. I'll strugs along with Nate Newton and Everson Walls. Where you're going to take you for the next forty five minutes right here. Demante Casey arrested early Tuesday morning at three am in the College a traffic violation end up failing a sobriety

field test. He's arrested. Mike McCarthy had said on Monday to the media, Hey, I told our guys, be safe, be smart. I feel we can trust our guys. We have a good group and hours later, Casey goes out and oh man, Casey is a free agent, want safety on a one year deal. That's the nineties. Cuss. So, gentlemen, how does the locker room deal with something like this? I think our day not as different these days, but in our day, you know, that was something that was

kind of the norm, you know. I mean, you're looking at the team, but we're called the South America's team in Washington, so you know, it wasn't like it was anything new. Nowadays, we're a little bit more politically correct, you know, in this society, especially with this team in the NFL. You know, when you're talking about Dwiyes d UIs, you're talking about the dangers that you posed to the public. Obviously, nothing you can dismiss on a practical level. It is

what it is. He made a mistake, and I'm just hoping it doesn't affect forget about what's going on in the field, I'm hoping it doesn't affect him too much off the field. I don't know what the situation is like at home, but I know that no one wants to hear. Hey, honey, I'm in jail. You know I won't be out tire tomorrow afternoon something like that. That's just not that's not what you want for your family. You certainly don't want it for this this season, Nate.

Believe it or not, It's a part of life, and whether you like it or not, it happens to the best of us. So I'm withever soon. You know you you you take care of home first, whatever that home is. You call your coach and you make sure everything is right there. But if this's something where we should just condemn this kid, I don't know its history. Yeah, if his history is this, okay, that's one thing. If his history is not this, and it's an honest mistake, pray

no one got hurt, Pray nobody was disrespected. Let this kid come on back to work improve who he really exactly, because I see that's just how I feel. I see a leader on the field. I don't know what he's like. I'm just like, I don't know CAZy at all. Right, I'm just hoping that you know, this is not in his history and hoping it's just an aberration because I've been I've been that person, not once, but twice, maybe three or four times. So I've been that person that's

why I would not condemned. I would not condemned. It's more to time, okay, yeah, yeah, man, a lot a lot of rehab, a lot of spiritual rehare. You go, yeah, there you go, So I see it. Yeah. The first word that comes in my head is really really And I say that because the NFL's got programmers. You call somebody, Yeah, you call somebody. So there's there's absolutely no excuse. And now these days, you know, you've got I love how you say that, knew it. But it's gonna always be that.

And and and that was the next thing I was gonna say, we have we have more options. We didn't have an option. We could have called a buddy, you know, if they would come get us. Depending on what time you try to say, you can call it anytime. I have people trying to say that you can get beat to death trying to one thing. One thing I'm not gonna be. One thing I'm not is I got to keep it real. I'm so happy this kid didn't hurt nobody. I'm so happy he didn't hurt himself. I hope things

that write at the crib. I hope things are right with the Dallas Cowboys. But we gotta wait and see. Now, if if things come back and they're totally different, then we had the right thanks to football being fluent in sports being we had the right to change our minds. But me, I probably won't change my mind. If this kid has a terrible history, then yeah, I may say, oh man, we knew this because but if he has a great history, yeah, that's what I'm saying. If he

has a great history, he made a great mistake. Especially, ain't no good time to do this, or brother, you went in for the Dallas Cowboy and them fans don't want to hear they want and you know you talk about the locker room. You know we're gonna support them. Yeah, and the locker room, we're gonna support them. You know, if he has a history, especially if he has a history, yeah, we're really gonna support him. Right, But if it's just the one time thing, you know, guy's gonna be clowning

him a little bit bit. Yeah, you know, I mean, of course, put it aside, the danger to the public, and we talked about all of that. No danger. What could have happened didn't happen. Thank god he's here. Now we're dealing with the present. You're gonna get clowned. Yeah, that's just the way they're gonna joke with you. We're gonna make sure that you go. You really, we're gonna let you know, all right, we know what happened. You're not gonna hold it against you for now. Let's just

let's just dap up and let's keep him. But what you gotta pray for now is the other sixty guys. Oh it wasn't me. So now everybody get closed in going to your man cave, going to your family cave, going to you go on your trip, and now every you but Uber, what is it? Uber? How you pronounce you? That's your lifestyle, that's your lifestyle. Make that mistake and

you got no matter now. Yeah, yeah, you got enough money because I remember one time I got one of those, and then for the next month everybody was, hey, man, just call him. We're gonna call him. Yeah, we got calf. We we had calf. We took that thing all the way to the Super Bowl. Rad we took the limos right On't not to the super Bowl? No more problem? Why not? Yeah? People not people killed the sport, But we did it. Why not? Because we made a mistake.

That's it. So you made the mistake. If you know how you want to get down? Yeah, okay, yeah yeah. I was just talking with somebody who who was planning. They're planning a Friday night and they already said, you know what got the uber because because we're going out. N okay cool. And that's the thing, man, nobody's condemning your ability to want to go out and have a good time. You're gonna be off the rest of the week and you want to go ahead. But man, just just if you know you want to go out to

just kissing hand God, pick up the phone. That's the way the schedule is now. Our CBA was horrible compar is now. I couldn't believe the time they get off they get They get like veteran moments, they get veteran days. I can hear you have a veteran day. I can hear. I can hear, I can hear Jimmy. Now, has anybody seen Nate? Has anybody seen Michael Earthy? The last we saw they was jumping out the limo together, Nate falling Mike into the limo. Can we coachy and coach ray a?

Coach Hubbard can y'all go find y'all players? You know, Mike can anywhere you gonna way, don't ask me, can you see? I'm just saying how good these players have it, and with the more responsibilities, more responsibility because coaches didn't leave it. You know. I listened to Mick and they're doing their things earlier. Your partner and uh, we just didn't get that time off because unstructured time is to kill of all all athletes. Yeah, I don't time. Yeah,

devil's play. Yeah, well we played with the devil. Let's move on. When you when you win, when you win, you can you can play with the devil. Both of your teams won a whole lot though. I got Everson Walls, Nate Newton players lounge, I'm knew his scrugs. Dak Prescott NFC Offensive Player of the Week four hundred and forty five yards passing three touchdowns and Bill Belichick's illustrious career which has produced six Super Bowls. Guy, you once played

for in Cleveland. Nobody's ever thrown for that many yards on Bill Belichick. Dak Prescott did NFC Player of the Week, the fourth time in his career that he has done that's that's all. So fourth time. So look, I mean when you start looking into the Cowboy history, I think Sabok had at four and eight, might have had five or flipped, but but five is the most Cowboy quarterbacks

ever had in their careers. No five, five players. Yeah, So Dak is sitting up here with four and he's been in the league twenty sixteen and so it's pretty impressive, especially considering last year. Um, I guess because we've seen so many four hundred plus years passing. But usually when he does that, we're losing. And to do it against Belichick. I think that's the other thing that goes in there. It's like, this is not a guy, this is not his this is not his thing. And you go into Boston.

So it wasn't just so why wouldn't people say Boston. They just can't say Boston. If I don't have to be problem say Boston, I say Foxborough. Yeah, I say Adam Borough. Is that what it is? Adam Borough is outside of Fox Stop? I got you there, But no, he can't defend it that. But don't don't don't this tell you how small the rankings is. We did yesterday? What this in wait, smaller way. Yeah, you know these power rankings we did yesterday, now today we hear this

right here, so changes every day. Yeah, it's so fluent, man, it's just you know, so when Kylo was five and old, thank you, they were saying, hey, this is the guy two and old with Josh Allen, Oh he's Buffalo, yes guy, you know of course, with Brady against the Cowboy. Oh he's a guy again. So yeah, Aaron Rodgers, he's back. He's the guy. So yeah, speaking of rankings, Rick Goslin, Hall of Fame writer came out with this and so

Rick's rankings are Arizona one, Cardinals are undefeated. It's got the Rams two, Tampa Bay three, Cowboys four, Buffalo five, Baltimore six. See see that, that's how you do it. You said, I'm a man him and ESPN. Wow, Well, I want to know your personal ranks because I respect you so much. They're top five. I mean, it's just I could ever you want to put him into the Cowboys right now, top five teen, I could give it that. That sounds about close as anything right there. They really does.

I still wouldn't necessarily put the Rams up that high. You don't know what you're looking at Wall. I mean, I got a great respect for you. You know, I've seen the Rams. I love, I like it, but now well not. First of all, I don't want to put somebody down to elevate someone else. I'm just saying in regards to that elite class. Ram still in that elite class, I think, only because they took that misstep uh this season. Once again, I say it again, Cowboys haven't taken a misstep.

And those misstepp they've taken, they still won the games with with with Tampa Bay. To me, that game was taken from them. So as far as I'm concerned that they had no flat game that they couldn't overcome. So I don't give it above Arizona. I could definitely give it them. I would give them above the Rams. I would put the Ram. I would switch to the reason the Rams down. Bring Tampa up. Cowboys right behind them, you know, sa Tampa. I understand that. Let me say

they stand. Let me say Rams also, like I said, they still took that misstep and this and the only misstep was to Arizona, who so to me, sitting ramsy too. And that's probably why Goslin did it. That way. Let me say this, fellas, say it as long as it's a number nine and nine. Okay, this is a game changing. See if if d Law can come back, or if

Randy Gregory elevates. See. I like the back end of almost everybody, but when you have sitting in the millial defense, this guy makes every defensive man get paid more money. Number ninety nine. He makes every linebacker that lead that team get more money. Our dB that comes to his team get more money because they can do everything they want to do physically and mentally. We don't have that guy on defense. That's why I just won't go over there now. Diggs. That's special, man, and I'm not gonna

ever take none away from this kid. What he's doing is all world. I've never seen him since you because I always been a Cowboy fan, so I know about you. But who is that monster? Okay, I see what you're saying about Donald. I love him right. And by the way, I don't know what Martin Mayhew did in Detroit when he had in Dominican Sues contract expiring and they didn't want Nick Fairley back. They passed on Aaron Donald to draft tight and Eric Bronn one of the greatest things

that you got a picture. Yeah, but when you mentioned Aaron Donald what he does, Hey, guys in unicorns, nobody else, nobody else in the league is running out that. I mean that when we talk about it, Warren Sap, Joe Green, John Randall type, there's there's not enough. Nobody else can run out that different information and say, right, see, that ain't my problem that we don't have. And what I'm trying to say is that's everybody else, right, everybody's got that.

But that's why. But that's the only reason I keep harping on the Rams. I like Stafford, and I think with the mind of this coach, I like it. If they ever can get that one. They're looking for a running back. The Rams are looking for a healthy running back, and if they ever find him the Dos he can

blow the doors off. This man about Jay Rams special and not your extra special because he got a coach, his defensive back, coaching defenses challenges and they challenged him saying like he has accepted that chance, said look at here, We're gonna do it your way, but if you slip, then you gotta do it my way. So he doing everything in his power, not to be able to have to go doing his day. They are using him. A lot of people sleeping on him, j Rams. Yeah, he nice,

he nice. On your mind you're talking about when you when you when you say sleeping on Jim, I don't. I don't know how anybody can sleep on well, you know what I guess because he's so quiet over there. Not getting the PA has overshadowed him every goss the numbers. But like you said, a lot of people don't realize that he has been lining up in many more places than he's lined up before. He's being utilize, like never been utilized and tackling like you tackling. He's coming up

force and issues it. So he he ain't like me going at the legs. He's going he's going to Yeah, by the time we're we're here in October, season's gonna end, what second week in January, So by the time we get there, the resume will be laid out for the whole season for him. And in the way the Rams are playing right now, this is a team that you can expect to, uh, you know, be in contention for that. I'm arguing they're gonna be in contention for him. You know, one of the top top one or two seeds in

the NFC. So I just think over time, a guy like Rams great players over time, that's they rise. So so I'm not worried about his standing. I think we all know how good he is. But so you like Rams are two, then oh he's out standing player. I mean you know, I mean, I'm sorry the Rams themselves like the two. You like him at two, I got no issue with this one. Like this man, one loss team, the only loss was too Arizona was in the division. I don't have an issue with that. And then you

got Tampa Bay at three. They beat Tampa back, So no no issues with that at all. Right now, So I was looking at October. I didn't believe in Rams at the beginning of the year doing the I didn't. I didn't believe because I didn't see Stafford. I did not see him man and problem and wow and and but I know that this coach, if he can find his running back, that's when he is his most dangerous. That's why golf lass is so long. Because he always

had a running back. But once those running backs got kind of scares and he depended on his quarterback, he fell apart on what the heck happened girl, Actually, nothing really happened Everson. He came into the league with an arthritic need, right, and so they drafted him high. They kept him as fresh and didn't they made the mistake of paying him that record contract and then he got that didn't have offseason surgery. So no, sooner than they gave him the money, he started to break down. And

that's that's on the Rams. I mean, the Rams have handed out really two bad contracts. From paying Girly all that money and paying off they made mistakes. So so but that's that's what was happening there is you he shouldn't have got a second contract. Maybe franchise the guy, but a second contract was something that they probably should not have done. But they did, they did, and they and they went to a super Bowl with him, and

so so I'm gonna say that. But yeah, for all the things that people want to bang on Golf and Girly about, the team got to a Super Bowl. Unfortunately Golf, missus, Uh it was it cooks in the end zone anyway, you know, you throw that, you know, he cheated his things anyways, and only were sorry. So let's I'm gonna do with a lot of media deals I hate, but don't do it anyway. Say you gotta take an let's take a break, whill we come back, Sir, everything's gonna

say something, so over something to say. There's something to say. I can't drop it, drover? How Scoutboys dot com? Honey, big news? Scary? Are you? Okay? Oh? I'm not Gary anymore. I'm Jackie Flash.

You're the Players Lunch, brought to you by Hotels dot com, our final Players Loud show of the week. We've mixed things up here for the final two days of the week. Nate Newton three times Super Bowl winner, Everson Wall super Bowl winner, and I'm Knewey scrugs. Everson's got something to say, take

it away. I was gonna say, if the Cowboys would have beaten the Bucks and continued along this same pace, who's number one? Four? Who's the number one ranking? As far as teams don't ask that question? This dude, See, I knew it was gonna be something meaningless. You already come on, man, I hear this all the time. I'm supports talking what if this whatever? Well, what if there? Let's do it here. What if I tell you what? I tell you what Stephen A would have took us abbatical? No, Stephen,

they would have been all on this. Pe would have had the perfect answer. So who's got that perfect answer? You're talking about Tampa? Obviously Tampa would be have two losses. I'm talking if everything would have gone the same, would you rank the cowboy as ahead of because they are the Cowboys? If that's what would have happened, and you think about in these Okay, you're five and one. Your first game was the first game of the year on

Sunday night football, so the ratings were absolutely bonkers. You played a Monday night football game. You know everybody saw it. Just last week. This was the CBS game of the week with New England a week before Giants game. They had Troy Aikman and Joe Buck there. Giants ain't no good, but still they I mean, Carolina was the only game where what we had Greg Osen was doing the game we played at and they just cut doing it, doing

him with face right there. They're out there. I mean the Cowboys keep all these you mentioned Stephen A. Smith, The Cowboys keep him in business. He's now decided to make the Cowboys a part of his bit because he comes to town. He's got his cowboy head on. It's the whole thing. It's the most popular team. So he's just going to be the ad now Michael IRV and the Michael Michael Monday and Michael Monday of some crap. And then then you had you had to go back

into this. Shannon does it where Steve and A did it because they're both working with Skip. Because Skip bayless side he wanted to be the cowboy homer. So then okay, you can't have two holds left and became a homer, you know, right right? But so so you and he was here, he wasn't at home, and when he left me became a homer because it's good for it's good for. I tell people all talk about those shows like, look, I understand the mentality. What goes into this. This is

show business. Some people all you hear this. I'm like, no, I didn't I watch because it's a show. It is a show. It is show business. And so look at how they're positioned themselves. Skip. I'm all about the Cowboys. Shannon Fine, I'm gonna blow up the Cowboys. The same thing with stephen A. So this is what they're doing. If there were six and old. Of course they're won over every yes, every every everything he mentioned, every Republic, every yeah, every Let me ask you this, you watched

an Arizona game this year? I have not. Okay, I watched bits and pieces, but you haven't watched again, I have not. Okay, have they been on national TV? They have not. They'll make a run in the second half. They can maintain because the national media don't believe yet, right so I don't believe yet, So just looking here that they believe, but they're ready for someone to change their minds because they're giving them love. So Arizona's got a Thursday night game coming up in week eight MS.

They've got a Monday night game against the Rams. They've got a Thursday night No Saturday, they got a Saturday game against any app So right now, I don't see them on Sunday Night football at all here, So just just that kind of that coverage you need. Well, they they're not the Cowboys, but they didn't make the playoffs last year. Right, But this is just what you need. When people look at this stuff, they are going to vote with. You know, it's like it's like a stock

man you people you know it Coke. Yeah, the brand names that people know, those are always going to get that. And then of course I'd be shocked if the Arizona Dallas game doesn't get flexed. Yes, it's noons start for the Cowboys against the Cardinals. So and right now, the game as the last game of the season seventeen eighteen was eighteen weeks eighteen weeks, so the current Sunday night game for week seventeen is Green Bay Minnesota. Green Bay

right now five and one Minnesota, three and three. Minnesota ain't gonna get on later man. If but by weeks I dare say, I kind of like Kirk Cousins, Bye bye weeks by week seventeen, that's not popular. If it's exactly pretty good. If it's week seventeen and Minnesota is eliminated from contention, Okay, I'm with you there, and understand the mentality of the Cowboys for NBC since I work at NBC. If they can find a way, they find a way. Remember one time one year they ended up

getting an extra Sunday and night football game. They flexed into it, and it was Jameis Winston in Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay was kind on the border, and they're like, that's good enough for us. Do it. And then one year the Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders were both struggling a little bit, trying to kind of stay in the playoff race, and they were still mathematics. Oh, they're mathematically like,

we're gonna do it. And that was the one when Gene Sarah Toour came out there with a piece of paper and measured it in the car, ended up fumbling the ball. But that was another Sunday night game where it was like, well do you flex him? Because you know they're not for sure playoffs teams. But all NBC needed was enough NFL out there with a piece of paper. You may, let's see you be so but you'd be so nick, But now you'd be so nick picking on something like that, and you can't make the call right.

And on the quarterbacksnake, Yeah, come on, you can't make the call right for the Saints. I never forget that, man. That's the first time I ever accused the League of not doing it. Right, that's the bus. My first time it changed, I felt about relse. I'm like, you got to change, and they did old franchise. After the year it was over. Yeah, but and now you can't do

it anymore, can you. No. They did it for a year to appease Sean Payton in the Saints fan base and went right on back to saying, yep, you take what you're getting. That's what the league. That's to them all the time, to take what you get sold to your point there, yes, if, but unfortunately it's not. It's not that at all. Um. I want to make sure we get This is stat Trayvon Dixon. Just eighteen career games,

Diggs has tallied ten interceptions. He's a second Cowboy to record ten picks in the first eighteen games of a career, joining Everson Walls, who recorded twelve in the first eighteen games. He's got ten and eighteen. Okay, what kind of zone is that? Ah? Well, with me, it was just a matter of survival because it was my rookie year. But I guess the zone is you go into the game at twenty one years old knowing your album mats physically, you know, you just go in there with just a

whole different mentality of just just not giving up. You know, you know what's gonna happen. You know, the Roy Greens are gonna be coming at you, the Mark Clayton's are going to be coming at you, the Mike Quicks covering six seven. Hell call Michael, you know what it's gonna be. So you just have to just tune all of that other stuff out, you know, and just make your plays for your team. And when it comes down to it, every the game is not about every moment being one

on one, you see. That's where people get overwhelmed in a ball game. You have to be in the zone to where you can calm yourself down. I always looked at the game like this, I got four seconds. I got four seconds to just ramp it up. After those four seconds, I've got to ramp it back down mentally, because now I have to realize, Okay, instead of being all geeked all the time, I have to realize what they're trying to do to me. You know, I have to realize what the what the film showed me, what

is their pattern. I can't just go on me, Hell call Michael, Mike, quit going at it. So you have to pick your spots. I'm not gonna jump at route. I'm gonna play a team game. I'm not gonna just worry about what me and this wide receiver going to it. But with with Digs now his his his deal is they have gotten the constant pressure. They've created the correct chaos, so to speak. Up front with the Cowboys, I love my front, my front four, but they were held back

a lot. And then they tell you that flex defense will hold them back a lot. I'm back there running around like a chicken. Right. You don't have that with Randy Gregory. You don't you know Randy's coming, Randi's coming that quarterbacks like, oh man, somebody's at my feet. Somebody's coming here, boom. I let me just get rid of it with with the flex unless the boys, unless they let them go with that sixty one, unless they let them go to sixty one. I'm out there, man, just

just trying to survive, just trying to survive. And the other thing is you gotta be stubborn as hell. You really gotta be stuffing because you have to. You have to. You have to say, Okay, I'm not gonna relent. And that's the way most dps good DPS played. All right, let's take a break. When we come back, I want you both to give me one name a player that you played with who should be in the Pro Football

You're in The The Players PROCTI by Hotels dot Com, our final Players line show up week, Switch things up for this show. Nate Newton Everson Walls, two former players joining us on the show, asked the question before the break, give me the name of one player you played with that you say should

be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And it's amazing how before this show was listening to mix shots and the show before that right there and me and Douglas uh bear Claw was sitting there talking about Hall of Fame players, and because Dig's name came up, and because every time his name came up, I was like, Wow, why is Everson that in the ring in the Hall of Fame. I'm like, what did I'm gonna ask you? What did you do? Hey? Can you stick to stick

to the question? Please? You just say that I changed, So let's keep it changed. Let's keep it the pet go. Okay, I just told you that I got eighty players, oh man. Yeah. And see that's the thing. The ones that I have, some of them I didn't play with because I've been a cowboy fan, just like I'm in a Cowboy fan. So you know, he started talking about you know, number one man, Harvey Martin Broke. Why. It's just ridiculous. It's just ridiculous. I mean, the man has one hundred and

twenty plus sacks. You've got guys in the Hall of Fame that have eighty five sacks. This man has a hundred and twenty sacks plus talk to him. I have said this from the time I started watching a whole truckload of Pittsburgh Steelers get into the Hall of Fame. Super Bowl thirteen cost the Cowboys a lot of gold jackets. And I feel is that all those Steelers who got in those would be Cowboys because if the Cowboys had

an entire decade. Really, if the Cowboys win Super Bowl thirteen, that is their third Super Bowl win of the decade, the first NFL team to have three Super Bowl champion chips, the first to to win it from you know, at the standpoint, if they would have won back to back, you would have eaten the Steelers, you know, want you to split all those things that they needed if they win, that day gone and the gold Jackets were there. So that's why it takes Drew and Cliff Harris almost till

they're seventy years old to get in. And even when they finally got in, Donnie Shell got in. They put another Pittsburgh Steeler in there. God bless Donnie Shell. Okay, glad you're in the Hall. But I'm just sitting to myself saying, yeah, I'm just saying to myself, how many people, Okay, how many picks you get. If you got to steal Curt in front of you, man, you're gonna get a lot. But but but no, no, no, And I'm just and I'm just saying, good for him to get in. But

there's another example that I'm telling you. If if the Steelers aren't the team of the seventies, if they don't winch Bold, you're not getting that this is a byproduct of winning. My thing is you're good. Why even or why either Pittsburgh or Cowboys. I mean, you're putting in players from the Raiders. You're putting in players from the fucking Cardinals. Never made a dog on playoff game. So I'm gonna come back into this one. The same things

happened at the Buffalo Bills. They have they have their center Kent holl had a heck of a career, was a good dog on off. It's a linement right there. Ken Old's really good when you don't win. Ever since, this is what happens. I remember Paul Krause got in the Hall of Fame, was working in Los Angeles and they had the press conference and he went in that same class with LT. Yeah and at the time, no still today, nobody's got more interceptions believe it's eighty one

interceptions all the time than Paul Krouse. And I said to him, you're a statistical leader and you've been bypassed this long, and he's just kind of chickers like, yeah, I know. Paul Krause played on four Super Bowl teams with never won mctinle Haf their center. I mean, my gosh, by the time they rolled Mctinglehuf, the guy couldn't even speak. But when you don't win super Bowls, when you lose, it hurts. And I'm just I'm not saying it's right, but it is. It is consistent when we start looking

at how guys didn't get in and and it's hard. Man. You know what, all of that sounds good and ain't none of it correct. I'm not saying it is, Nate. I'm just telling you when you when you you know, when I when I look at a U, a guy of your ilk, you are sportscast, you are a journalist. You you don't get to vote. You know you don't get to vote. But that's what I'm saying. Now you have another notch, is don't you supposed to be a little more responsible than to say, okay, this I'm making

up something. I'm not saying abody told me this. But who did the Cowboys think they are? I dare them to win twenty straight years and be in the NFC Championship game fifteen of those years. I dare you. So you know what? Uh? What did Harvid Martin ever do besides me a great personality? Not you. I can go to the Steelers media, I can go to any media person and say, man, why give me a reason? Why? You know what? He'll hide behind his little so called

you know what my sources. Come on, man, be a man or be a woman, and do the right thing now. And we also go into this, Okay, there was a backlog, and give Rick Goslin and Shrene Williams a lot of they've been fighting for us. Okay, where you saw the resumes that were clearly Hall of Fame worthy that just had been bypassed. So you, Bob Hayes, why why didn't it wait till the seniors community to get bobbed ray? Feel? Right? Man? Come on, man, what you're doing? One? So? How many

all pros? Right? So you're watching you're watching a clean up for the Cowboys happened because when they when they were on the ballot, they weren't there. You finally get on the ballot your last year, my last like a hail Mary. They called it a hall marriage. So how does how does this happen? That you've got the interception career numbers that you do and you're not in the room until the end? Who was in the room? You know what? I gotta say this, guys, and I've said

it before, I'm just gonna say it for real. We eat our own. We eat our own. You know, when you look at the old regime, they didn't care anything about any cowboys making the Hall of Fame. I only care about was keeping your contracts down. And in order to keep contracts down, you cannot laude your players abilities to do whatever. You cannot laude the all plos. You know, I'm not gonna go out there and tell rayphel right, all these ten all pros. Man, this guy here is

amazing media. I'm coach Landry, I'm tech Strown, this guy, I'm gil Brad. This guy right here is the guy. All right, Well, here come negotiation time. What's up? Oh? Well, no, man, we can't. Hey, you know we don't really just you know, we're gonna put you here. So man, I'm just saying, this is what happens. I've heard this from fellow Cowboy Hall of Famers. What took Melvin for us so long? What took Rayphiel right so long? I've heard it from

cowboy NFL Hall of Famers. What you said may be true, Nate, may be totally wrong about what he said. About what you said, it was very articular because some of it could be true. But when it comes down to it, you gotta look within. No one pushed I'll just start with me. No one pushed Everson Walls for Hall of Fame. No one. We had no Hall of Fame writer here in Dallas pushing for Harvey Martin. Correct. Okay, so let's

just be real about that. Correct, all right? And that's why I went and said in a kind way, Rick Goslin shrine Williams. Yeah, thank god for them, have done a cleanup, clean up. But don't it take how many votes to get in? But here's the thing, Nate, it all comes from the organization. The organization has to push you. Yeah, I understand important to put you in the ring of arm. Yes, more, But you can't tell me that at least Sacks. But Harvid Martin ain't get it. Still, you can't come super

Bowl MVP. Yes, thank you, so so. And he's from Dallas. Everybody here, everybody that I agrapher is a leader or some type of MVP or some type of a type of decades. Harby was born before the Dallas Cowboys was born. Can I also tell you another thing, especially when I was there in Canton, that I heard how many more Cowboys we need to put in here? The same many you got Stillers? Okay, Raiders And I'm just and I'm just telling you now, Raider fan says they've been getting snubbed.

Raider fan is upset. Now I did have no he's in his daughter's name. Well, he died and then they put up okay, which was another shame. You got guilty in to put him in the Hall man Um. Same thing with Cliff you know I'm talking about Cowboy. Yeah, go ahead. And so one writer told me said, for the Raiders, they had one super Bowl during that time. How many guys were getting in for just one Super Bowl? So this this is an issue with a whole lot of teams. And when you're there the Hall of Fame,

and you're talking about voters. Think of voters, think of voters. Like Congress, they're there for their constituents, right, and now it's a whole political battle, remember that, Remember that whole wide receiver as well. Michael Irvin's not gonna get able to go put Chris Carter into Andreare had to wait and then was tim brats vote for this guy until you vote for my guy. I mean, there's so much going on there with me between Goslin was trying to

work with sal Antonio South Pallentoni. Yeah, he was pushing Dawkins and uh gosl was trying to push me, and he just told uh guyspel Goose. He said, no, I'm not voting. Yeah, Bob Hayes, I'm sorry. Miami Dolphins, the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Stealers, and your Raiders owned from the seventies, eighties and most of the nineties. I don't want to hear it. Yeah it look Minnesota. Minnesota had four great teams under but Bud Grant, they've got a few guys in.

But I'm just saying it's it is. There are some fantastic now I go back into somebody had mentioned Ken Riley Cincinnati. Oh, come on, man sixty five as a cornerback in the Cincinnati market. Can't get in. Ken Anderson, an MVP who went to a Super Bowl, he can't

get in. So the list of guys that people come with another name of the Hall of Fame, I kept here for the Denver contingent, like where's Randy Gratti said, I was going to say that where's ran So while you're right about Harvey Martin, Nay, you're right about what Ever since candidacy, my guys are leaders and MVPs, and I'm a major sporting events, not not somebody that doesn't played eighty years. I'm talking about impact short term and alone.

See when when when when? I never had an issue because my thing was the list is short and it's distinguished. Nobody has been put in there that don't deserve to be in there. Until this last four times I'm seeing people like hold On. I used to block this dude in the dirt. I used to crush this I used to watch film on him on two on Wednesday and didn't watch no more film the rest of the week. And here in the prop, here in the Hall of Fame. Man, real, I went to the Hall of Fame for the Real

Fame game. I mentioned this on mix shots. I'm looking at the T shirt of the two classes that went in there. Come on, I saw Atwater's name up there, and that's all I had to see. I'm ready to go back home. That that just got me. That just got me. I mean, I liked the kids once again, and they I mean when I didn't make it, they said wall was I thought you made it, said you should have made it. I said, maybe we all should make it. That's not the point. At Water hell of

a player. But I see him in there before me. I'm sorry, man. That's when my pride comes out and I'm like, hold up, man, what is going on here? Because I tried my best not to pay attention to that crap until I was in. Now, once I was, they were trying to put me in. Then I started noticing all of these discrepancies that I saw, and one other that I still see to this day wasn't happening when I was going in. How are you gonna put John Lynch? Is that his name? Yeah? Before Darren Woodson,

Before Darren Woodson. I go back into this whole voting block and the politics to go in. You gotta have a TV show? Is that what it is? You gotta be on TV? Huh? You gotta be an announcer. All I remembering football, I never had a problem. How he long is in? I never break. I didn't think he was a good player. They had a good team. But how are you gonna put him in before? If you put how We in, then too tall Jones needs to be in. Let's just be real. I'm gonna stick to

my to this here. This guy led the league how many times? That's impact. It's two ways I heard. You can get in impact the league in an unknown way in a short term are over long term? Be a play of high standard. He did it every year, Hard Martin did it every year every year. Nate, you are correct, and I go in. I don't care. You know what, I don't care. As long as I can get me about five or six more cowboys there, I'm in. I

go I'm in. But one of the arguments that I had kept having for Cliff and Drew was based on the standards you gave of right, thank you, they've met the criteria. So is there hypocrisy? Is their frustration, of course the moving of the gold post. So this is what it is. But anyway, Nick knew fun to work with you. I'm blocking half of the dudes. Man, I don't crushed half of K on the way out. I didn't watching I will stop watching filmy. Yeah, I would

be over. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
