00:00How funny was that?

00:16How much have you guys talked about these nuts in the locker room this week?

00:19You've set a record, I'm sure.

00:20No, I don't even know what you're referring to, but oh, I actually do know what you're

00:26referring to.

00:28I'm like, what are you talking about?

00:29No, we actually haven't talked about that at all, but yeah, that was, man, funny.

00:36You've never deez nutsed a reporter?

00:37I've never done that, but you know, man, these, you know, reporters get kind of bold sometimes,

00:44you know.

00:45I was going to ask you that, Eric, and I'm not, you don't have to say anything specific,

00:48but do you guys, do you get mad at reporters occasionally?

00:52Is it something that, you know, I mean, you're a pro's pro when you handle things with, I

00:56mean, you've been great with us, but do you get mad and just kind of keep it to yourself

01:00or, you know, how do you handle things like that?

01:03You know, honestly, it's just when it, when it, when we, when, when I get upset when they

01:09take the human aspect out of it, like, okay, you're, you're in our, you know, you're in

01:12our locker room, you know, and it's like, you know, this is, you know, this is something

01:16that we care to, we, we, we care about, you know, we, we, we work our butts off for.

01:22So it's like, obviously we have a ton invested into our, our body, you know, the way we feel

01:27that, you know, we're, we're, we're our families, you know what I mean?

01:29Like blood, sweat, and tears into this.

01:31So we're invested into it.

01:33And then when you, when you come to us and then you, you know, kind of take the human

01:37aspect out of that and you just kind of treat us like we're, we're either stupid or, you

01:42know you know, just blatantly kind of disrespect us.

01:46Like we, you know, we don't know, you know, what's going on.

01:50That's when it kind of like, you, you, you, you can get upset, you know, you have a human

01:54reaction, you know?

01:55So it's like, you know, just, you know, obviously they have, everybody has a job to do and you

02:00know, I'm not, I'm not sitting here saying that, you know, some days I'm not more irritable

02:04than others, but at the same time, like, you know, I try to treat everybody, you know,

02:08no matter who they are, no matter what position of power they are in, I try to treat everybody

02:12with respect, you know?

02:13And I hope that I get the same back.

02:15Do you find the media around the Cowboys to be overly critical and how would you kind

02:20of break down where, where the Cowboys are at right now, if you were to put your media

02:23cap on?

02:24I mean, media is just, it's just going to be what it is, what it is, you know?

02:28I feel like there's just, there's more of it, you know what I mean?

02:31I'm not going to sit here and say it's more critical than others, but you know, obviously

02:34I think it is.

02:37But you know, I mean, this is the job we do is that, you know, we, we know what we're

02:41getting ourselves into.

02:42We got to, you know, we know what we got to do this week and you know, if we, if we don't

02:47want to, you know, face bad, bad questions like that, we got to play better.

02:50So hey, let's do it.
