It's a new year , 2025 . I mean it's February . Now , like you know , a lot has happened . Completed my first year of head coaching , that's right . Head varsity coach at a new school yeah , happened um . Completed my first year of head coaching , that's right , let's take that off the head .

Speaker 2 1:47

Varsity coach at a new school yeah , and , uh , you know it wasn't the year that I , like , would have wanted it to be , um , but uh , my girls did grow , we did get better . Um , I feel like I got better as a coach , obviously . Obviously , it's always room for improvement and room for growth , and so I'm just excited about you know what the future holds . But I mean , yeah , still here and , you know , still watching a lot of sports , listening to a lot of music , eating a lot of good food , there we go , but yeah , that's all that's been up with me . What about you ?

Speaker 1 2:22

Yeah , man , I've been doing good . Maybe some may even say great , uh , I've been promoted twice at my job hey , hold on , let's clap that up .

Speaker 1 2:32

Hey , celebrate over here man , black women in tech stand up . Um , so it's been amazing , um into my 2024 and , even better , start to my 2025 . I just recently came off of a spiritual fast and that's been amazing , enlightening . Right now , I'm just in a good space , man , and I just want to just be positive . Going into this year and , you know , with all the different things that's going on in the world , I just want to make sure I'm centered and I'm positive , despite the craziness . Right now , yeah for sure .

Speaker 3 3:16

All right ?

Speaker 1 3:18

well , let's not waste any more time Again . This is a bonus episode . Once we record like a real one , maybe we'll give a little bit more into our personal lives . But this is just a bonus episode and we just want to just . You know , we had to do this because it was like so much is going on Without any further ado . Beezy , please drop that beat . That's right , you know , when Beezy drops that beat , we're getting ready to talk about the nfl .

Speaker 3 3:51

Yep , yes , lord , we're about to talk about the nfl , all right .

Speaker 1 3:55

So since it's been so long , let's kind of recap the nfl season a little bit . Vills , did you pay attention to it at all ? Like just overall the NFL season Did you watch that ?

Speaker 2 4:08

For the most part , I want to say I did . You know right now , obviously , you know Super Bowl is Sunday , so a lot has happened over the course of the season . But yeah , I paid attention a little bit . I mean the teams that , uh , I think the Detroit lions . They had a really good year . Obviously they didn't make the big dance , but they had a really good year . Lamar Jackson was Lamar Jackson . Um , I , I feel like he should win the MVP this year , but , um , it doesn't help his case that he did lose to um Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in the I forgot what game it was , that was the AFC was it the AFC championship ?

Speaker 1 4:48

no , that was the second round , so was that the semifinal ?

Speaker 2 4:50

yeah , I think it was the semis which ?

Speaker 2 4:53

that should have actually been like a championship game right , right , let's see who else just like , really stood out . Deshaun Watson is done not done in Cleveland , but like he's , he should just be done . I feel like he should be done . He tore something , he got injured , yeah , he just came out . Yeah , and I'm trying to think because , like it's been so much that's happened since we've last recorded the Cowboys well , you know , we'll get into that in a little bit who else ? Who else ? Did anybody surprise me or shock me ?

Speaker 2 5:30

Rookie season for Jaden Daniels . Jaden Daniels man . Jaden Daniels man almost could have made the Super Bowl in Washington . He came out of nowhere as a surprise , like you know , as far as being a rookie carrying the Washington Commanders , as far as he did , um , I mean , we beat him , you know , but that second game they kind of won at the buzzer , quote-unquote against us , but we had no business winning that first game in the first place against them . When I say we , I mean the Cowboys , um , and then , uh , chicago still sucked after they traded . What's his name ? Fields .

Speaker 1 6:07

Oh yeah , justin .

Speaker 2 6:08

Fields , justin Fields , to the Steelers , which you know it wasn't too much drama , but you know , fields ended up going to the Steelers , like Lise just said , and he was starting at first , and then Russell Wilson came in and took over , in which they were looking pretty good . They just didn't make it far . What else I mean ? What else happened ? Um , carlos didn't do much , I mean saquon barkley just oh yeah freaking took over the nfl saquon man .

Speaker 2 6:35

Saquon barkley did his thing with the eagles his first year with the eagles , um , and I know that was man , king , king Henry , which , again , the Cowboys didn't pick him up in the offseason last year , but you know he did his thing in Baltimore . And is there anything else that I'm missing ? That is surprising . Oh , the 49ers didn't perform as well as I thought that they would have . Very underwhelming , yeah , it was a very underwhelming season for the 49ers , yeah . And then , oh , what's his name ? Aaron Rodgers didn't really have a really good year after coming off of that injury from last year , the first game of the season last year , and then this year , you know , had a full season , but you know they weren't the jets , they weren't , yeah you got my mind rolling , you know as you yeah , yeah , I'm just , I'm just trying to questions for you I'm just trying to think of a big storylines .

Speaker 1 7:29

You know that we haven't talked about yeah , I mean because it's been a lot but aaron rogers in particular . Man should he just hang it up ? Is he done ? What do you think ?

Speaker 2 7:39

I'd say give it one more year . I'd say for aaron give it one more year . He's still mobile , he can still move and I didn't watch a lot of their games so I really can't like pinpoint where the fall off is for him Um , but I would say for Aaron I mean , he hasn't announced his retirement , so give him one more year after this year , if you don't make any noise , if your team is not a winning team , if you're not going to the playoffs yeah , hang it up Aaron's 40 yeah , I mean , yep , so , and so was Tom Brady , you know , I mean but and so , like that's what I'm saying , like can we compare Aaron to Tom Brady , though I mean that's good .

Speaker 2 8:13

But yeah right , he's not Tom . But I mean , if you , if you still got a little bit in the tank , you want something , you got something left to prove , then try to prove it , but after this year , I mean if you don't hang it up .

Speaker 1 8:23

Did you watch his documentary on Netflix ?

Speaker 2 8:25

Whose Aaron Rodgers ? I didn't , I did not watch it . It's so much to watch on TV . He's a strange cat . I'm sure that's a different kind of dude .

Speaker 1 8:33

I encourage you and anybody else that have not seen that , just watch it . Okay , he's a different kind of fella .

Speaker 3 8:39

Yeah .

Speaker 2 8:46

He's different , to say the least . Though what about Russell ? Do you think Russell should hang it up ? No , because he played well . He played well , russell played well , and I think that what's the head coach's name ?

Speaker 1 8:54

Mike Tomlin .

Speaker 2 8:55

Mike Tomlin . You know , still , he still has a winning . You know what I mean . He's a winning coach and so , like , I feel like again , squeeze all you can out of Russell , but obviously if he doesn't perform , then you know , you have a backup in Justin Fields who is young and ready , you know what I mean . He's just waiting his turn and so , yeah , it was a lot of things that happened in the NFL . It was .

Speaker 1 9:17

Kansas City doing Kansas City things , oh man .

Speaker 2 9:20

Yeah , and I mean it was . I don't know , it's some juju going on with Kansas City because , like even the year prior , or yeah , the year prior when they won , I didn't believe in them then and they really didn't have a really good year . Because when I was doing NFL fantasy the previous year , mahomes was my quarterback . He had been my quarterback for two years straight and I saw how they performed last year and this year . They just looked like the Kansas City Chiefs and they were finding ways to win games . That was just really just unbelievable . And so it's almost like the writing is on the wall for them just to be just dominant , for you know however long they're going to be dominant . But yeah , I mean , yeah , that's just where I'm sitting at with the NFL and , like I said , we'll talk about the Cowboys , but yeah , that's just where I'm at . What about you ?

Speaker 1 10:08

I mean same . I mean Saquon Barkley , you know , stood out the most to me , obviously he did his thing he was on my , excuse me , he was on my fantasy team oh man , I didn't know that yeah , he was on . I had like several so , but yeah , he was on one of my fancy teams and he had a hell of a season . I mean , I just wonder , you know we'll get there um king henry um again had a phenomenal season as well .

Speaker 1 10:39

Like it seems , like every game he was breaking off for 100 and so yards a game , so especially the beginning of the season . Like you , nobody could stop him right um the jayden daniels , just jayden daniels plus just the washington commanders .

Speaker 2 10:57

Period um with a couple of our yeah , previous cowboys coach .

Speaker 1 11:03

Yeah it seems like they got a lot of our Ex-players and they got our coach , dan Quinn . And man , it's amazing . It's amazing how , when you Leave an organization like the Cowboys and you go somewhere else , you find yourself almost at the Super Bowl . It's amazing . I don't know how that happens . It's so amazing that that happens .

Speaker 2 11:23

I mean , look at Kellen Moore , he is inellen Moore , he is in the Super Bowl , he is in the .

Speaker 3 11:27

Super Bowl . It's amazing to me , honestly , yeah .

Speaker 1 11:30

Oh boy , and Detroit man . I was really pulling for Detroit . Detroit man , they hooped , they hooped all season and it just I don't know they lost that game . It got down to that one , and you know Washington took them out and I was not expecting that .

Speaker 2 11:50

Who we didn't talk about is Jordan Love .

Speaker 1 11:52

Jordan .

Speaker 2 11:53

Love and the Packers , I mean they were decent . Was he injured this year ?

Speaker 1 11:59

I think for a little bit .

Speaker 2 12:01

Yeah , so I mean they didn't really make as much noise . The most that I remember from Jordan Love and the Packers is how they beat us to sleep in last year's playoffs , but other than that they didn't really do too much .

Speaker 1 12:13

No .

Speaker 2 12:13

They didn't really do too much this year .

Speaker 1 12:14

No , and the Rams ? They came on late into the season because Puka and the cool was out .

Speaker 2 12:21

Yeah .

Speaker 1 12:22

But they caught a stride so they kind of tried to make noise late and man they trying to trade cooper wasn't it cooper cup . Um , I don't know if I I agree with that , um , but you know teams like to go in different directions they do um so uh saints sucked oh , thanks for terrible the raiders sucked yeah so raiders are terrible saints are terrible .

Speaker 1 12:50

And one thing I want to say real quick about these god damn these saints , man , the saints boy , they beat us . That's why I said the saints , the saints super bowl , was them playing the cowboys ? Yeah , man , they beat us . And then they was having like a little . Was it like the little parade , the second line on our streets and stuff like that ?

Speaker 2 13:11

I'm like , oh , my goodness , one game that was the only game they won a season and after that I think they like lost what six , seven straight right after that and I'm like , okay , saints fans yeah , saints relax you're not that good , but you're not that good because we're not good .

Speaker 3 13:27

Right .

Speaker 1 13:27

So okay , you should win , right .

Speaker 3 13:29

Mm-hmm .

Speaker 1 13:31

But yeah , I just wanted to clown the Saints man Earn , I see you , man . All right , let's talk about these Cowboys . Let's go on and talk about this Cowboys season .

Speaker 2 13:43

Describe the Cowboys season in two words the two words that I have in my notes cowboys suck . I just , you know , this was probably one of the most disappointing seasons , um , that I've ever like encountered or witnessed . I just , first of all , I didn't have high hopes . I didn't have high hopes coming into the season . You know , I just kind of wanted to see what they would do . And , yeah , they , yeah , they did

Reflecting on a Long Hiatus

Speaker 2 14:16

what they did and there was some spurts of goodness , there was some spurts of , like you know , celebration . But I feel like and I'm and I'm being honest when I say this like I did not cheer as much . I really didn't go . I didn't go any . Now that I think about it , I didn't go anywhere to watch the game . In years past I would go to like a cowboys watch party , maybe even go to Texas live . You know , like I didn't spend no money going to go watch them play , nowhere , and it was a few Sundays , more than a few , that I didn't even put on Cowboys gear , and that's really how bad the season was .

Speaker 2 14:55

This year we ended up losing Dak to injury , which I've said this once before on the show , I've said it plenty of times , but I'm over Dak man . I respect him , you know , and he did what he did with Zeke . And , speaking of Zeke , zeke came back . Terrible . He's gone again , which I still got . Love for Zeke . I'll never forget the rookie year Zeke and the rookie year Dak .

Speaker 2 15:21

But I just think that we need to go in a different direction from Dak in the rookie year Dak . But I just think that we need to go in a different direction from Dak and I don't think we're going to do that , obviously , because you know we just paid Dak last summer and we just paid CD . But CD , I think , is fine . You know somebody we can get him a quarterback and to get him the ball , like we're fine . But Dak , I'm just .

Speaker 2 15:39

I'm over Dak , I'm over this organization , the coach that we just hired , whatever you call him . I'm over Jerry , like he's , I feel like he is sabotaging our team and I don't know if it's on purpose . I can't say it's on purpose , because I know he wants to see them win . Well , I would hope he does , but I'm over them right now , man , I'm . I'm really glad that we did not make the playoffs , because it just would have been nothing but another disappointment , and we had enough of that during the regular season . So , yes , my two words would be cowboys suck , and I really don't know what the future holds . I don't really know what it looks like . I mean , obviously we got to get this new coach a chance . We have to , I mean , because this is who they decided to go with . So , like we obviously got to get this new coach a chance . But you know he's like you know we're going to win championships and all that , but he's just saying what he had to say .

Speaker 1 16:50

But yeah , I just I don't know the direction that this team is going in . Do you find it to be malpractice , to just did they really even interview anybody else ?

Speaker 2 16:53

I heard that they didn't interview a whole lot of coaches .

Speaker 1 16:55

Like , do you find it kind of like malpractice , just to just go with what you know ?

Speaker 2 17:02

I wouldn't call it malpractice , or you could , but it seemed really lazy on their part , like you didn't even put in the effort , right , you didn't put in the effort to go get you you .

Speaker 1 17:14

You had so many options , so many . What was that ? Ben johnson from detroit , you had a chance . Aaron glenn , come on now like it was a few . Freaking . It's not that I'm saying he was going to solve our problems . What's the coach ? Bill Belichick , Bill Belichick North .

Speaker 2 17:31

Carolina , Yep , but even when he did go to North Carolina and verbally committed to them like he hadn't signed anything yet Nah , he was waiting , he was trying to see Right and you had that opportunity to still go get him . You had the opportunity to bring prom to dallas like carol like there was so many big name coaches out there that you could have went with , but you got sean the gatorade guy .

Speaker 2 17:53

I call him the gatorade yeah , and that was funny when I saw that post like that was hilarious . But yeah , I don't even know who that guy is . Nobody he was . I guess he was the . He said he was the oc last year . Oh child , yeah , I don't know who that is . He's the OC last year . Oh child , yeah , I don't know who that is . He's the .

Speaker 1 18:05

Gatorade guy . He's the guy that hands out the towel when you come off the field . Right , he's that guy Nobody knows that guy you don't hire that guy as your head coach .

Speaker 2 18:13

You don't .

Speaker 1 18:14

Okay , who is that guy ? Nobody knows that guy Apparently . You know what Jerry said .

Speaker 2 18:29

He's a a career assistant , so why do you make a career ? He clearly did anybody else even want to interview him . Had he gotten any interviews from any other organization ? I doubt it . So why would we hire him as our head coach ? Like it's right there for you to see some stuff ? You just gotta make sense .

Speaker 1 18:39

I don't remember them saying brian , brian shottenheimer had to weigh his options . I never saw that , oh , brian Schottenheimer's in between two or three different teams . No , just our dumb asses .

Speaker 2 18:54

When I saw that notification I was like who ?

Speaker 1 18:58

I knew we was going to hire him . When he came back for a second interview I said they're going to hire him .

Speaker 2 19:04

So this is where we are . This is where we are as a franchise , an organization and a fan base . This is this is where we are . We're still the laughingstock of the league . Nobody respects us . Still like . We're still the same I don't even respect them .

Speaker 2 19:20

We're still the same old cowboys and we are . Let's just stop this narrative too . We are not america's team . We're not . We are not until we prove otherwise . We are not america's team . No , and I don't even know . Like off the top of my head , I don't even know who would be right now . Yeah , probably the kansas city people hate , them right now . Well , I know they hate they . Almost like the golden state warriors back when they were winning all those uh championships . But we are not .

Speaker 1 19:48

I know for sure that it ain't the Cowboys , we're not America's team um no , I mean you're right , I mean we are , but we're not and we're not playing like it , we're not acting like it and guess what I'm considering doing on Sunday wearing a cowboy sweater .

Speaker 3 20:04

I'm still delusional , clearly , yeah because it's just like I don't what , what else would ?

Speaker 2 20:09

I put up like I normally always do . That . Yeah , because we're never . We're never in the superbowl . We haven't been in the superbowl since I was what ? Three , four . So it's just like I always , you know , when I go to superbowl parties or whatever , like I'll wear , you know I'll rep my team . You know now , other years were respectable , I Bowl parties or whatever , like I'll wear it , you know I'll rep my team . You know Now , other years were respectable , I could walk in with my Cowboys to

NFL Season Recap Highlights

Speaker 2 20:33

phone . But now I'm really taking a chance in life almost Because , like , what are you doing ? Like why do I have this on ? I'm wearing it because you know it's supposed to be cool Sunday and it's a sweater and I want to wear it . But you know I just Put it on . You're a fan , I'm going to be talked about Put it on .

Speaker 1 20:48

Yeah , man , you're a fan .

Speaker 2 20:50

I don't this team . I don't respect them right now . I don't trust them right now . I don't believe in them right now . I just I'm tired of Dak , I'm tired of Jerry .

Speaker 1 21:06

I said the NFL and I made this post . I said the NFL should force Jerry Jones to sell the team , Deem him incapable of running a franchise .

Speaker 2 21:13

He clearly is .

Speaker 1 21:14

The man is over 80 years old and clearly maybe it's dementia , I don't know , but something is not right upstairs because , like you said and I said , who hires the towel and the gatorade guy as their head coach ? Nobody has interviewed schottenheimer for a head coaching position . Now that I know let me , let me google , I don't think so . Nobody has hired or interviewed schottenheimer for a head coaching position . So why , jerry , in your brain cells did you feel like this was a great hire ? You know why ? Because it's lazy .

Speaker 1 21:48

It's because you don't really want change right you want to , you want somebody just to go along , get along and go along . And that's why we're stuck in this place of meteorocracy , year after year after year after year times 20 , because now it's been like almost 30 years in the same state of this and and to fire my car . Okay , listen , I know I said we should come from mccarthy's head if we didn't go anywhere . I did say that , but , given the circumstances , he was playing with an injured team or he was coaching an injured team .

Speaker 1 22:26

If you were going to fire McCarthy , you should have did that shit when we lost to Green .

Speaker 3 22:31

Bay the way we did . No , for real , that was your opportunity .

Speaker 1 22:34

You don't fire him because he didn't have his team . That wasn't necessary because , honestly , I'm shocked , he was able to conjure up seven wins out of that bunch .

Speaker 2 22:45

Right , and he was still , and you could tell McCarthy was , I feel like he was trying to keep his job . He was trying to show like hey , I don't care if it's the last game of the season or the first game of the season , like we're still out here , I'm still calling the plays , we're still trying to make winning plays , we're not going to rest our players , like we're going to play . So I really felt like they were going to bring them back .

Speaker 1 23:05

Yeah . I did too , because they was having meetings . But I guess there was some communication breakdown . From my understanding , the disagreement was the years .

Speaker 2 23:16

The extension yeah .

Speaker 1 23:17

Yeah , so I think McCarthy maybe had one in four or five and the Cowboys only wanted to offer three , whatever . Like I said it wasn't right to let him go after this season . Honestly , I think he did well , given the circumstances .

Speaker 2 23:33

My thing is why didn't you keep the same energy with Jason Garrett ? I know you all ready to get rid of McCarthy and you don't want to sign him to an extension . Why didn't you keep the same energy with the clapper ? Like I don't understand that you wasted all of those years 10 , it was a decade , it was a decade , so you don't even realize how long it was .

Speaker 1 23:56

It was 10 years with Gary sitting over there clapping . I think this is misplaced anger . And who are we going to get there ? And then , what baffles the hell out of me , dak ? What made Jerry feel like he had to rush and extend Dak ?

Speaker 2 24:21

he did not man he got injured .

Speaker 1 24:24

So check this out even if you wanted to keep your boy that he got injured , you would have got him for like way cheaper than what you've gotten him for . That is now the highest paid quarterback in the league and I'm trying to figure out why . Why is he great during the season ? Hell , yeah , that looks like a top five quarterback , maybe sometimes a top three quarterback during the season . Couldn't be more proud . Couldn't be more proud ? Got my Dak jersey on proudly . But it's just when we get into the playoffs something tends to happen .

Speaker 2 24:59

I don't know that Homer Simpson meme that's what tends to happen . That's exactly what happens . That Homer Simpson meme that's what tends to happen . That's exactly what happens .

Speaker 1 25:10

That's exactly what happens whenever we get into the playoffs with Dak , so I'm not paying that guy $65 million extra .

Speaker 2 25:14

I'm not doing that . I think they felt the pressure . Why did you feel the pressure ? Because they felt like which I would have been fine going into the regular season with Cooper Rush or even Trey Lance . I would have felt comfortable because we're not season with Cooper Rush or even Trey Lance . I would have felt comfortable because we're not going to rush to pay you , dak . You haven't proven anything , bro . Yeah , you've been here since what ? 2013 ? But we don't have to rush to pay . You . Count on your hands how many playoff games you won . Maybe only one hand ? What are we doing ?

Speaker 1 25:44

We don't have to rush to pay you . They never had to rush because guess what ? Jerry told us at the end of that Green Bay debacle that he was all in .

Speaker 2 25:54

He lied .

Speaker 1 25:55

And I'm trying to figure out where was the all in , because nothing happened in the offseason , so to me I already knew I was done . I was like I watched the games . I don't really want to paying attention to the games . I did put on my gear because it's just a ritual for me on Sundays , because I'm just a brain dick or brainless slash , brain dead cowboy fan .

Speaker 1 26:14

So I'm just used to oh , on Sundays I'm going to put on my cowboy gear , but I didn't care , and I'm like Vales , I didn't go spend any money . Did I get anything new this season ? Hell , no , I was not going to put any more money into that travesty that they call a franchise . So my thing is , jerry , you didn't want to spend any money to make your team any better , so why pay debt ? Hey , how about this ?

Speaker 2 26:44

Let's take , let's take , and maybe let's go grab a quarterback , because I would have taken a shador yeah I would have taken a cam ward well , I'm not a big fan of but okay but I would have taken my chances right it's better than maybe I mean at this point . It would have been a perfect story had we just waited and then hired Pram and then tanked for Shador and got him . That would have been the perfect , like marriage that would have been great .

Speaker 1 27:17

That would have been great . But even if we didn't get Shador , it was laziness on the coaching side , it was .

Speaker 3 27:22

It was . It was laziness on the coaching side . It was , it was .

Speaker 1 27:26

And we're going to move on , because I could literally go off on them all day long .

Speaker 2 27:30

It shows that you just didn't care about what the fans felt . They didn't care . Like y'all are billionaires , y'all making this money . Like it's going to run anyway , you're going to make your money anyway , but it's just like yeah , and they're going to pay attention to it anyway .

Speaker 1 27:41

They're going to support it anyway Not me . Usually I'm going to go to a game . I'm a type of fan that I will actually fly to another city to watch y'all dumbasses play . Not last year , I didn't , and I'm not going this year either . You went to training camp , I went yeah , I did , I did , I even hauled my little butt up there and went and saw y'all practice out there in Fresco at . I ain't doing it again . I am not wasting my gas on this mess , Jerry . I don't care if it was free .

Speaker 2 28:13

Right , the gas ain't free .

Speaker 1 28:16

The gas is definitely not free , and my time , my time , wasn't free because I took off for work to do that too . All right , we got the 12th pick in the draft . Obviously , we have a gazillion holes in the roster .

Speaker 3 28:33

Yeah .

Speaker 1 28:34

Who are you ? Okay , because I don't know . If you know everybody . Are you taking Jenty ? Are you taking Jenty at number 12 ?

Speaker 2 28:42

Jenty , what position does he play ?

Speaker 1 28:43

He's a running back from Boise State .

Speaker 2 28:46

He's also up for a high . Honestly , I'm not going to sit up here and count . I don't really know who's coming out the draft .

Speaker 1 28:53

But we just need to Do . You think we need a running back ? Okay , okay , out of all the holes . What do we need to prioritize with that 12 pick ?

Speaker 2 29:00

I think our running backs towards the end of the year once we started using them . You believe in Rico Doudle ? I think Rico Doud , he did his thing . And real quick shout-out to Michael Parsons because he did break that sack record . I think it was the Cowboys sack record , okay , and I forgot what it was now at this point because we hadn't talked about it in so long . But , like shout-out to him , he still played even though he had got injured at the beginning of the season . He still played even though he had got injured at the beginning of the season . He still came back and was still playing like a lion . So a shout-out to him .

Speaker 2 29:32

But I mean , I really don't know which hole to fill . I don't know which one we should . I don't know . I don't know the direction we should go . Yeah , I just don't know Right . But you know , we're really not bad bad at drafting , we're not , you know . But I think it's just for us , it's the overall team aspect . So I and I I trust them in the draft is what I'll say . Okay , so whoever we get , I believe that they're gonna be good for us . I just don't trust us as a whole , like as an organization . So I mean ? What do you think about ? Who do you think we should get ?

Speaker 1 30:08

I do Well me . I think we should grab Gentry in the draft . I will say this about Schottenheimer he wants to run the ball , he wants the identity to be run first , although Dotto played great .

Speaker 3 30:23

He did .

Speaker 1 30:24

He started to put it together as the season went on . I think that we need to have a premier back Now . We also need to have a premier back Now . We also need to have a stable offensive line , and our offensive line is just not what it used to be .

Speaker 1 30:37

Now granted , it is young , but our talent , tyler Smith , had a great year . Tyler Smith had a great year , but I forgot the other one , the Mozzie Is Mozzie . On Mozzie Smith , he did . If our O-line could come along I think that is another area of importance in this draft is to draft the o-line . But I also I would go grab jenty at 12 and then fill out the draft with an o-line and I think we should be okay If we can take the pressure off the deck having to throw the ball as much , we should be okay . So , yes , establish the run , we'll see how things go . Now another big thing Michael Parsons , he's coming , he's due , he's due .

Speaker 3 31:28

So what do you do ?

Speaker 1 31:34

Are you going gonna resign him ? Are you gonna trade him ? I hope not , or are you gonna let him walk ? I'm asking you this no , I'm resigning . I'm resigning .

Speaker 2 31:44

Mike , I'm sorry , we can't let him go to another team .

Speaker 1 31:47

That cannot happen even if you know you can get a good return on picks because we got holes to fill . Right , and there's only so many picks we got .

Speaker 2 31:59

I mean , that's a tough question . I just see I've seen what Micah can do . I know he wants to be a cowboy for life and I just think that we should keep Micah and just try to fill the other holes . I'm not mad at our special teams . What's the dude Not Aubrey ? Oh , oh , matter of fact , shout out to Aubrey , bro , our best player this season . He kept us in a lot of games , if not won us a lot of games this season , the games that we did win . So shout out to Aubrey . He was and I don't even know what his percentage was and how many kicks he made out of how many he missed , but shout out to Aubrey because he was our best player and I said that at the beginning of the season . We were like two or three games in . I'm like man Aubrey , our best player . Here you go .

Speaker 2 32:48

That is crazy , and I'm talking about kicking from 50 , kicking from 60 . Yeah , I think I almost tried a 70-yarder . Yeah , like , shout out to Aubrey , because he kept us afloat . He did In games that we shouldn't even have . We had no business being in . And then what's the dude that be running the ball back for us Special teams ? Oh , turpin , dude that'd be running the ball back for us special teams . Oh , uh , turpin , shout out to turpin . I think I really feel like turpin did his thing as well . He had a couple of um , you know , punt returns that he ran all the way back . So shout out to him . So , like I said , it was spurts . Yeah , you know , in between here and there was moments that we had . But , yeah , yeah , shout out to Aubrey .

Speaker 1 33:30

But I feel like Turpin was a pro bowler and you got to decide what you want to do with him because he's up for contract . Oh gosh .

Speaker 2 33:38

It's just , I don't know , liz , I don't . I don't know , because I do . I want to win games , I want to get to the playoffs . I want to go deep in the playoffs like I really do . You know what I mean . And so we got some decisions to make .

Speaker 1 33:50

we do and we shall see man . But as and we're going to wrap up the Cowboys saving man it just right now , it's just a way to see man . How much does Jerry want to win ? And you got to start spending that bread . You got to start spending that bread you got plenty of it I don't care about . No , no , stand under the luxury taxes or whatever the salary , I don't care . I don't care about none of that . You are a billionaire , figure it out figure it out .

Speaker 2 34:24

Alright , let's move on .

Speaker 1 34:26

Super Bowl coming up this Sunday yep we got our arch nemesis , the Philadelphia Eagles , and America's most hated , the Kansas City Chiefs . We both said that the Kansas City Chiefs have they find ways to win . They just find freaking ways to win . Special thanks to Patty Mahomes . The Eagles they didn't just have a great season , but they were good . They were good . Thanks to Saquon came and really turned that team up .

Speaker 2 35:00

Saquon was a godsend for them . Jalen Hurts was down a couple times with injuries and they still found they were in the Super Bowl .

Speaker 1 35:08

So yeah , definitely Saquon did his thing , broke records and everything and I'm just trying to figure out , like you know , when Saquon became a free agent , where it was anyway . Yeah , so Sunday's the game . Who you got , who's winning it ?

Speaker 2 35:26

You know this is like a . It's almost like a lose-lose situation for me . I don't want to see the Chiefs three-peat , but I also don't want to see the Eagles win .

Speaker 1 35:38

Well , somebody's got to win , somebody's got to win .

Speaker 2 35:40

It ain't going to be two losers , right , but I can bet against Pat Mahomes . So I'm going to go with the Kansas City Chiefs for the first ever three-peat in NFL history , which is even crazy to even say . But yeah , I'm going with Pat Mahomes now .

Speaker 1 35:56

Man , yeah , same , because the hate that I have for the Philadelphia Eagles , man like the Eagles cannot win another Super Bowl before we do , like they already . You know what I'm saying . They already done won one recently . They cannot win another one .

Speaker 2 36:09

Nah .

Speaker 1 36:11

And that's the only reason . That is the only reason , as a Cowboys fan that you know I hate to say that I am at times that is the only reason . If it wasn't for that . I love Jalen Hurts , mm-hmm , you know . So I would definitely would be pulling for the Eagles . But because I can't stand Philadelphia , I want to see Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs do the unthinkable which is three-peat this year in the Super Bowl .

Speaker 3 36:41

Yep .

Speaker 1 36:42

Alright , I think those are our picks . We both are pulling for the Kansas City Chiefs . Now what I call the main event .

Speaker 2 36:49

Right , what I'm'm gonna be waiting for uh , it's halftime , baby .

Speaker 1 37:00

Yes , not for real , though man , our boy , kendrick lamar kung fu kenny , they call him K-Dot . He is headlining the Super Bowl halftime show . Kendrick has been on a remarkable run this year , baby .

Speaker 2 37:18

Well , last year , last year , this year , it's still up . Yeah , yeah , yeah , it's still up , yeah .

Speaker 1 37:26

Man , I'm looking forward to that and K-Dot's not coming along . I'm looking forward to that and K-Dot's not coming along . He's also supposed to be bringing my girl that I love , sza , along for the ride , so I'm looking so forward to this halftime show , I mean .

Speaker 2 37:41

Kendrick is , like , our favorite rapper , so this is just like it's gonna be crazy when that when that announcement was made , it was like because I mean , obviously we hadn't , we hadn't been . Well , we , we didn't .

Speaker 2 37:57

We talk about the beef a little bit we would yeah so we , we really hadn't been on since , like , the beef , like , had officially ended . Yeah , and you know , soon after the beef officially ended , um , the super bowl . Now , the super bowl halftime show announcement was made and it was none other than Kendrick Kung Fu , kenny Lamar , yes , and so it's going to be lit . I mean , obviously there was backlash . Oh , of course there was backlash , because the Super Bowl will be in New Orleans and a lot of people felt that , you know , wayne should have been headlining the Super Bowl halftime show .

Speaker 2 38:35

And unfortunately for Lil Wayne fans even though , like , I'm a Wayne fan too , yeah , I'm a Wayne fan for sure it just was only right that Kendrick did this . I'm sorry , and I'm not trying to hurt no feelings , I ain't trying to step on no toes , but this did not give me Kendrick . I mean , this just did not give me , like Wayne , even though it was in New Orleans . It made sense and we still don't know what Kendrick got up his sleeve . He may bring Wayne out as a special guest , he may .

Speaker 1 39:03

He may bring , you know , your money and and cash money and all them out , but you know , we never , you never know you never know , and and to your point too , too , and I'm going to let you keep going about Wayne Like I'm a Wayne head and it's just it would have been a moment . I can see how that could have been . A moment Could have been , but nah , I mean , ken was on a hell of a run in 24 . And he just got that catalog . That and Wayne does too .

Speaker 3 39:33

Right .

Speaker 1 39:34

Wayne has that catalog . Wayne got that crossover catalog .

Speaker 3 39:37

Mm-hmm .

Speaker 1 39:38

But I mean I just Wayne . We haven't seen Wayne perform in a very long time .

Speaker 3 39:44

Very very long time .

Speaker 1 39:45

And it just . You know , this is Kendra Lamar's moment and I hate that it kind of got overshadowed with , you know , Wayne , being a little bitter about it Instead of like congratulating that man first you can congratulate the man first and be like hey I , you know , I kind of had wanted that and you never know , like you say he could bring him out . But I just wanted to speak on that because , like I said , I'm a wayne here . It would have been a moment but , I think we got the right guy

Cowboys' Disappointing Season Breakdown

Speaker 1 40:10

wayne .

Speaker 2 40:10

We've seen your previous uh performances , sir , your most recent performances . It just wasn't gonna work out . Kendrick is a performer , you are a I don't know . I mean I I miss what you wearing , but like this , just this just wasn't your year , bro . Like I get it , it's , it's in New Orleans and and I understand what that would have meant to the city and all of that , but it just was not for you . This year it wasn't . I'm sorry , it just wasn't . Sorry to all the Lil Wayne fans , but it just was not . This wasn't for him , this was for Kendrick it was definitely for Kendrick man .

Speaker 1 40:51

So , with all that being said , let's just play it . I like to play the game of what is he going to perform ?

Speaker 2 40:59

Yes , man .

Speaker 1 41:01

I know that's what we get into , so Vails , I mean , come on , let's spitball First of all , what song is he coming out to ?

Speaker 2 41:19

He might come out to Do . Do course , you know that's gonna lead into the . I think that's gonna get everybody . I think , okay , let me just say this kendrick could either come out subtle , like he did in euphoria okay , and then like turn it up okay , or he can come out turned up and stay turned up the entire time . I don't know which , I don't know which way he's gonna go , so but I think I feel like tv off will probably be the first , probably be the first .

Speaker 1 41:46

I just don't know which direction he's gonna go in I think I think he's gonna come out to not like us . I think that b , I think you know , I think that's gonna be the finale .

Speaker 2 41:55

You know what I'm saying . I think that's going to be the finale .

Speaker 1 41:57

You think that he's going to close with Not Like Us .

Speaker 2 41:59

I think either that or All the Stars will probably be the finale he goes out to . Yeah .

Speaker 1 42:04

I can see that man , I know he's going to have to perform . Oh man , I think he's going to have to perform humble .

Speaker 3 42:11

Yeah , yeah .

Speaker 2 42:23

Slow down , uh , humble , yeah , yeah , slow down .

Speaker 2 42:24

Uh-huh , be humble . Yeah , sit down , be humble . Yeah , I can see him doing that for sure . Um , I think that he's gonna you know , he's gonna go back and perform some of his oldies , so I think that he'll do . Um , I think he'll do swimming pools . You think he'll do swimming pools . It go , halle Berry , because that was a good one . Okay , yeah , I can see him doing . Well , no , not swimming , I'm tripping , not swimming pools .

Speaker 2 42:46

Money trees , money trees . You think he'll do money trees , that's what it is . It go Halle Berry , hallelujah , he might do that one as an oldie . Another oldie would be swimming pools . Uh , I'm an onion and I'm two or three shots . I'm showing you how to turn it up . A notch pool for lifting a dive in . Okay , so I can see him doing that . Just , he gonna , he gonna have a couple of oldies on there on the can see that On the set . I can see him doing he going to do Squabble Up , squabble Up , hey , squabble Up , hey , squabble Up . And I just have a verse on there that is my newfound favorite verse on there , because he kind of he killed it . It was that third verse . I can't even quote it obviously because I don't want to mess up , but I can see him doing that and , like we just mentioned a while ago , all of the stars with scissors , and she's going to be a guest appearance on a halftime show , so I can see them doing all the stars . I can't see them doing Luther .

Speaker 1 43:46

That's too slow , that's too slow for the Super Bowl . You don't think he's going to do all right , because you said he did it previously , but I don't know it , just he may , but he may not yeah , you know we gonna be all right .

Speaker 2 44:00

Yeah , because it is black history month . First of all , shout out to black history month , so he may , and then I think , I another od in . The last one that I think he'll probably perform is a backseat freestyle . All my life . I want money and power . He spent my life . I won't . Money and power . He spent my life for a diamond and a shawl . Yeah , because specifically for the , martin had a dream .

Speaker 3 44:21

Yeah , okay , kendrick had a dream .

Speaker 2 44:24

Yeah , like I can see him doing that , but I think , somewhere in between the first and last song , and I think it's going to be the last song he's going to do Not Like Us , and that's the song that I want him to perform so badly , and it's gonna be the last song he gonna do not like us , and that's the song that I want him to perform so badly . And it's not even about Drake , even though it is about Drake , but it's not even about Drake . I think it was because it was the song of the year . Kendrick recently just won five Grammys , like two days ago , for specifically not like us , and so I think and you , you have to do it , and you don't have to say his name , you ain't got to say the verses that you was clowning him on , but the beat , I need to hear the beat , I need to hear the instrumental or something Like I have to , and so I think that he's going to do that For sure .

Speaker 1 45:10

Yeah , so I also think he gonna do DNA .

Speaker 2 45:17

Yo yeah , loyalty inside my DNA . Yeah , inside my DNA .

Speaker 1 45:25

That's gonna hit . Do you think , though ? Do you think he will do Euphoria ?

Speaker 2 45:33

That could be a song that he comes out to . And neutralize Like an only watching silence , because then he gonna end with a don't tell no lie about me and I won't tell truth about you , and then he gonna go into another song . You can go so many different ways like he can . He can continue to be the dead horse , which I'm all here for it . I'm sorry , I mean , I'm still on the grammys .

Speaker 1 45:59

He had the whole grammy audience and I understand like the audience is full , like entertainers , he had them all saying a minor man .

Speaker 2 46:08

He has to perform , not like he has to like . He has to perform , not like us I'm excited he has to . He got something up his sleeve oh yeah it's gonna be dope , so I don't . I don't know how many guest stars he's gonna have . Obviously we know scissors gonna be a part of it , but I don't know who else he has up his sleeve that he's gonna bring out .

Speaker 1 46:28

I don't know , do you think scissors gonna get like a song to herself ? I think she might . I think she might grab one she might do a .

Speaker 2 46:38

She might do a . What's the song called ? Oh good days I can see her , slowing it down for her slowing it , slowing it down . Because that was a popular song for her . She might do snooze , man , snooze . But that's too slow though , yeah , yeah , she may do that . That's a belt in here ? Yeah , she might .

Speaker 1 47:06

Yeah , man , I'm so excited .

Speaker 2 47:10

I am too . It's good to talk about these things because it's the unknown , we don't know what he gonna do . We just kind of like making assumptions and guesses . But like , I think , I think it's gonna be a really good show and and kendrick always has to make a political statement and and with the state of the world that we're in now , he could do that . I don't know . And then , of course , they're going on tour afterwards , so it's gonna be crazy . I don , I don't know . Whatever he does , it's going to be crazy . I'm going to be glued to the TV Like I'm not going to lie , like it's going to be good .

Speaker 1 47:39

It's going to be good , and shout out to my Aunt , jan , because she always puts together a bomb ass . Super Bowl party .

Speaker 3 47:45

Does .

Speaker 1 47:46

Man like there's games you can win money sure she does something on one of her games , that she got something about Kendrick Lamar which song he performed first , stuff like that . So I'm about to get with her man , but shout out to my AJ man like it's going down at her house on Sunday . I cannot wait , it's just going to be up , man . And before we get out of here , man , I have to say that GNX album is hella fire it's fire .

Speaker 1 48:15

I honestly Good Kid Mad City is one for me , gnx I think GNX may be coming at two for me and then the damn album is coming at three for me . I think two and three is debatable because , damn , I loved the damn album and that was a surprise album too , I believe .

Speaker 2 48:36

Damn , yeah , uh-huh , yeah . I remember when that job , I'm like is this how kids are coming for real ?

Speaker 1 48:40

like what is this ? That was hard . I remember that that was hard that was back in like 2017 , 2018 , something like that we went to the concert yeah , we did in houston yep , age time stand up , but like we had a man , look , I'm just looking forward to it . I'm looking forward to it , so I'm looking forward to see what she gonna do , and cause she just came up on some Grammys too this past Sunday so it's gonna be lit man .
