00:00Yeah, let's start with Jerry.

00:01Of course, the Micah Parsons contract stuff is a big topic there in Oxnard.

00:07Here's Jerry giving an update, I guess you could say,

00:11on where the contract talks are right now.

00:14Just because we sign him doesn't mean we're going to have him.

00:16He was hurt six games last year.

00:18Seriously.

00:20We've signed, I remember signing a player for the highest paid

00:24at the position in the league,

00:25and he got knocked out two-thirds of the year, Dak Prescott.

00:31So there's a lot of things you can think about just as the player does

00:35when you're thinking about committing and guaranteeing money.

00:39On the tango part of it, Micah said in the podcast

00:42that ownership has overcomplicated this thing.

00:45In your mind, do you guys think this has been overcomplicated?

00:48Of all of the people that I've sat down with as a player,

00:52of all the players that I've ever negotiated with,

00:55Michael Parsons is as savvy and knowledgeable and understanding

01:00of his financial business relative to football

01:03as any player I've ever been around.

01:07Who?

01:08John.

01:09He's smart.

01:09He called him Michael Parson.

01:14Michael Parson.

01:15He called him Michael Parson.

01:18I mean, Jerry, enough.

01:20He's got to stop doing these press conferences.

01:22He really has to stop.

01:24You know, I think when everyone tells him to stop being the GM

01:27and making all these, you know, media sessions and after games

01:32and all these interviews he does and everything else,

01:34everyone keeps telling him not to do it.

01:35He does it even more.

01:37You know, the more they tell him to stop, the more he does it.

01:40Well, let's see if you can decipher this one.

01:43It sounds like he's really not a fan of long-term contracts at all.

01:47Like, period, no matter who it is.

01:50Here's Jerry.

01:50The other thing I would say is contracts are four or five years, okay?

01:58There's a lot of water under the bridge if you step out there

02:01and do something in the first two or three.

02:04You can get hit by a car, seriously.

02:08And so there's a lot to look at over a lot of years

02:11that could make a big difference.

02:13Have you ever heard of any clubs committing to players

02:16and then they didn't pan out after they committed to them?

02:19We have.

02:20Yeah, tons.

02:23He's too much.

02:24He's too much.

02:26He's right.

02:27You know, the funny thing is there for me is always they got his,

02:29like, cardboard cutout son sitting there.

02:32He is so worthless.

02:34I mean, the kid has been stepped on his entire life

02:38and he's got this big highfalutin job with the Cowboys

02:42and no one respects him at all.

02:44Like, they don't, do they?

02:46Like, nationally, maybe in Dallas they like Steven,

02:50but everywhere else we, you know, think he's a joke, right?

02:54Like, I do.

02:55Like, you see him sitting there, I'm like, what a tool he is.

02:58That guy just sits there and does nothing, ever.

03:01He's got no juice.

03:04He can't wait for that old man to die.

03:06I'm telling you.

03:07I guarantee.

03:08He made it a point at that press conference yesterday to say, though,

03:12he stopped Jerry at one point to say that he's the one that talks

03:17to all the agents.

03:18Because Jerry was going on this rambling rant about how he doesn't talk

03:21to agents.

03:23So, obviously, the 50 reporters in the room are going,

03:25well, who talks to the agents then?

03:27So, Steven had to explain that he does all the agent talking to

03:31of the Cowboy Brass.

03:33He's the guy that is the connect with the agents.

03:34Yeah, I think they think that he's a tool, too.

03:37It's probably the case.

03:39Should be another fun year in Cowboy Land,

03:42especially with Shadi as the head coach.

03:44Should be a lot of fun.

03:46I can't wait.
