of SB nation's NFC East Blog podcast networks you can also watch us on the bleeding green Nation YouTube channel or the blogging the boys YouTube channel if you do any of those things you will experience in whatever fashion you decide to do so the stylings of myself Amar Joo from bloging the boys and the stylings of himself he has randomly gotten from bleeding green Nation speaking of styles he is uh dressed for the week opening day is upon us how about those feels that lost the World Series a couple years back uh I'm going to the home opener shout out to my good friend Matt for hooking me up with the tickets I don't know Matthew and former be gen radio host uh I don't know if it's going to make it because there's rain in the forecast but hopefully it works out I'm excited to go at some point should be fun glad baseball is back Phillies open the season at home against the Braves oh and L Thursday okay so well opening day is a home game for the Phillies I didn't know if it I off the top my head if Philly was at home or on the road to start the season okay wow um I feel like the Braves are probably to like if the Phillies are your Eagles I think the Braves are maybe your Cowboys like who's who's your baseball version of the Cowboys um I guess I mean for some people that's the Mets uh I don't like the Mets but I also think they're kind of just so they're almost like they get in their way so much well maybe cor yeah they get in their way so much it's kind of like they're not threatening actually um obviously the Braves have been like incredibly good in the regular season and then we just beat them in the playoffs um so I don't know but uh I definitely hate if we're talking about all sports other teams I hate the most Cowboys number one probably and then and Celtics are probably right behind them at number two interesting it's um I don't have a an eagles comp for my Astros because it's definitely not the Rangers I wouldn't do that to um to DFW because the Eagles are my most hated team but um I don't know um maybe the Mariners a little bit just tiny bit Yeah there's there's a little bit of of that kind of energy um in some that's such like a you know they're so not threatening they're like the least threatening team well it's there's not I mean I I don't mean this this way but there's not really a team that's been threatening to the Astros I mean maybe the Rangers are that now um obviously they've lost two World Series but um I think Yankees fans would love to say that it's them but I mean it's not like it's a it has to be a back and forth thing to be threatening and to be a rivalry and you know we've discussed that many different times and they're just I want to hear from the listeners which team they hate the most that isn't a football team right so if it isn't or Eagles or commanders or Giants uh who do you no no no football no NFL teams just like your other sports teams you hate the most and why while we're here but even though we asked them for nonf football teams what is the non-nfc East NFL Tim you hate the most uh non I mean it kind of like go comes and goes I would say the Saints for that team for a while I mean can I guess yours and you guess mine I think that'd be fun but I mean obviously I think I have an obvious answer now okay what's yours I think your answer now is the ners yeah yeah because of everything so yeah that wasn't always the case and for the while while I see the Saints being that for a while um maybe the Cardinals have a chance to become that especially like a little bit of a j well I mean if we're talking like you know future potential but we'll see it's a big leap uh yours uh I don't know that's a good question I don't feel like you have a because you know you hate it on the Broncos so there's teams like that you kind of rip on I don't think you necessarily definitely like hate them as a rivalry though you just think they're stupid so you rip on them that's there's a different there that's true um so I don't know what that team is yeah I don't really hate the ners even though they've owned the Cowboys because it's it's just like like I can't hate if it's not a rivalry ex like Jo Joel and beid said when the can't beat the Celtics it's just like being beat down so like I really can't have a hatred as much as I just have an annoyance there's a different emotion there but um I don't know if I had to pick one non NFC East team right now for all in the like early 2010s it was the Texans because you know at the time when I was in college at A&M everybody was like there were so many Houston people and they were just rubbing it in my face like the TJ Yates thing he has as many playoff wins is Tony Romo and it was so annoying um so but they now now I'm cool with the Texans it might be it might be the Packers I mean that makes the most sense yeah it might be the Packers but even with Aaron Rogers gone it's I know I know like I'm not saying that's invalid but it's funny that a lot of that had to do with Aaron Rogers and he's not there anymore and it's still the case um oh well um kind of a hodg Podge start to the show it is a hodge podge kind of show that was the word blg used right before we started recording um the NFL's annual League meeting has been going on one of them uh in Orlando for the last couple of days and there are some headlines and takeaways um owners and coaches and Executives and dignitaries have spoken for every NFL team you obviously have some thoughts on everything that people associated with the NFC East have said but um in an overarching perspective we also have some rules changes I know you'll talk about these at BGN um and we've begun talking about them at btb certainly by the time um this conversation is heard uh the most notable one has to do with the kickoff and this actually was uh partly led by John fossil Dallas Cow special teams coordinator uh one of the presenters uh the The Proposal was passed technically on a one-year basis but the way these things always tend to go is they say that but it's it's really forever um the it's the XFL rule the so the the place kicker hasn't moved correct like there there's no movement in terms of where the place kicker lined up it's just now you're changing where the respective kickoff teams are lining up and you're allowing time for the uh receiver or the catcher to feeli the ball before any kind of movement can take place yeah there's a good explanation of all this on espn.com I put that on the BGN cover too if you just want to go there and see it um but in any case I like this because and and I think most people who either don't like this or don't care didn't watch the XFL and I think that's that's fair that's fine not everyone watched had to watch the XFL but when I watched the XFL uh and it's not like I watched every single game but I saw some I think I saw a touchdown return on one of these and I was like oh that's kind of fun to see again and in general I liked it I don't I don't think it's like overly gimmicky I think it makes sense it's legitimately a way to make it a safer play uh but still have entertainment value so I actually think it's fine and as I've said a number of times I think to you or this General on podcast over the years what is the big deal with the NFL trying things for a year like if you can make pass interference challengeable for a year just to play Kate Shawn Payton why can't you just try most things it's silly to me they they won't allow the Eagles fourth and 20 onside kick alternative proposal for at least a year just give it a year and if it sucks get rid of it it's fine just try it I would offer um the fourth and what what they amended her to Fourth and 19 right this year whatever it was it's Fourth and 20 but I mean there was like a proposal or something that was like it was not an even number um is what I'm saying but either way I'm with you like I would totally try that um and not just uh the Shawn pton acquiescence that we saw but and this was a good change but the Niners acquiescence which is part of why you hate them the emergency third quarterback thing I don't hate that change I know you don't I'm just saying you hate them partly as a result of the game in which the change partly stemmed from so yeah like we were willing to try that that was a good thing I like that idea excuse me I like this idea as well because I and I didn't want to lose the kickoff um just I I don't agree with just eliminate it I don't agree with that yeah like call me you know a fan of pageantry or whatever but like I like the ceremonial part of it I like I think it's good for the pacing I think it's good to kind of like slow just like at a show at a concert you go to a concert you don't just have a band play like just all of their hits all the time like can't or even it's not just like continuous music there's a break after a song and you whatever this and that so that's a good a cont it's a good comp so I agree I don't know why they won't try the Eagles thing I don't know why they won't try a lot of things but um this is good this is a good change I'm excited to see what it ultimately yields I'm excited individually from a cowboy SL about how John fossil approaches this I don't know how much Eagles fans know about John fossil although he did interview for that head coaching job when it went to Nick serani um along with now Eagles offensive coordinator Kell Moore that's got to be really awkward for Kellen by the way I mean I keep thinking about that but whatever anyway um former Cowboys quarterback Will Greer now in Philly that's right uh we're not talking about the Eagles yet this is you know the cowbo I said he's a former Cowboys quarterback good good oh sneaky that was a nice little loophole but um John fossil is Elite at at exploiting advantages like this like if there is something Howie Roseman likee within the Cowboys it is John fossil um he will find the the teeny tiny nooks and crevices or whatever that he can sort of work with and so I'm excited to see how he does this how he approaches this they have kavante Turpin I was gonna say it's for him yeah I mean it is a really interesting Dynamic that we're going to see the other notable changes that we saw speaking of the emergency third quarterback now a practice squad quarterback can be elevated an unlimited amount of times to the active game day roster for the purposes of serving as an emergency third quarterback it'll be interesting to see who teams put there because it'll clearly be we think you're valuable enough to where you could be our starting quarterback in an emergency of upon emergencies but we don't think you're valuable enough to protect you and put you on our active roster all the time well it does count though as one of your two elevations that you get per week still so it do you know there are situations where you might want to have those two for in case of injuries at other position so it's not like it's not an automatic that you just definitely put that third quarterback on the practice squad there's a lot of gymnastics that'll be associated with it also on the subject of two you can now place two players on injured reserve in initial roster cutdowns from 90 to 53 and and return excuse me you can return two people from injured reserve in that process so if you have two players who get hurt at training camp or preseason or whatever you can put two players on IR as you trim down to 53 and return two at maximum that you said just unlike yeah before where you had to have them on the original 53 man roster until waivers clear the original round of waivers clear and then you can put them on IR so basically that was like the anti- Phantom IR thing like the stash IR now that is the you can stash people in that you had you can stash too because you had to carry whoever you wanted to stash initially um remember when you only used to be able to return one person from IR period like that was insane that's so stupid like looking back on that um what good reason is there for that it it was really really really dumb so we've come a long way I think those were the notable changes if I'm unless I'm overlooking something is there anything else well the hip job tackle is obviously the the bad I just to me it's not a real thing like people it's just so subjective and I think it's it's so dumb and I don't that's not original take I think everyone's on the same page for the most part with that um The Players don't want it in there so it's not just about as simple as like player safety it's I it's so subjective it's not like a real thing when where's anyone using that term like five years ago even a couple seasons ago 10 like this isn't like a long-term thing it's just like something that people started to coin as a phrase because there were some high-profile injuries I think one of the biggest involved the Cowboys it was Tony Pard in the divisional loss two years ago now it's not a real thing well I mean I think people's worry goes back to the Shawn Payton pass interference thing is people are worried about official's ability to call this I I don't think so subjective I know I don't think anybody disagrees like like nobody has the take I am fine with a dangerous tackle that hurts players no nobody thinks that I think what everyone thinks is okay great if we can get rid of dangerous tackles that are intentional and purposeful and therefore hurtful we should and if we can police that then we can but if we're just going to be policing all these things and we have no idea what's actually happening and it's all vague and it's all ambiguous and it's all subjective it's just going to lead to horribly time penalties that are going to swing games and swing contests one way or another it's just like what's the teaching Point here if you're going away from that and also what's a smaller person supposed to do like a smaller Defender supposed to do against like a big tight end or something like they that's like physics right it's like you need the leverage to get that guy down I I it just seems very dumb to me also um if we're just going off of literal things that happened the NFL moved the trade deadline back a week so it is the that's so lame to me it's just like well I mean I'm just telling you what happened no I yeah I understand but it's just like that's just such a half measure it's like very Cowboys of the NFL to just be like if you're it's like oh we're just going to restructure 4 million of Dak Prescott's contract it's just like either do it or don't what is this half measure thing like if you're going to move it back move it back back a little bit more so then it's actually significant like what is one week really accomplished I don't think it changes too much I'm happy they did it I think it should be later there should be more of a clear buy or sell line for teams I think that would be fun in both directions and ultimately good for teams because I think right now I think you would agree with this teams tend to just stay Pat they just feel because they're because teams are so delusional to be like we can still make a run we're going to hold on to everyone and it's dumb and that results in a team I guess I don't know the only reason for it but like you know the Panthers holding on to Brian Burns when they could have gotten like this huge offer for him instead they eventually just uh only get you know a second round pick and whatever for him so yeah I think it'd be have a better good to have a better defining line on that uh two things on this one to your point really uh I guess the only one to your point the NFL added at a week to the regular season three years ago so this is really just kind of catching up you know what I'm saying like this is like where it was roundabout you know what I mean relative to the you know a 16 game regular season this is a de adjust for inflation right so it really isn't anything new I would like to see some research in um so I'm going to make up numbers but something like oh research shows that um week I don't know 14 is when on like relatively speaking in history is when the first team is mathematically eliminated from playoff contention so like if you found that to be true over the course you know of the last I don't know 50 years whatever and then you would to say okay because of this research week 14 is our new trade deadline or week 13 because you have to decide like man we we have like a 5% you know chance to make the playoffs or whatever blah blah so we really have to decide like it should be based off of some history not just like what feels right you know what I mean well there's that and there's also the context that people have done with like the different sports leagues and where it it where the deadline Falls relative to like the percentage completed of their seasons and obviously the NFL is like way ahead of those and that also kind of lends to the idea that okay maybe you should push it back a bit so yeah I mean I guess I think part of the problem I'm guessing is they don't want it like on Thanksgiving because that's you know it's not like it's not ideal I think for them um speaking of um last thing I guess before or we we head to you know the Cowboys and start the team wide discussion the NFL last year said we promise we won't play on Christmas Day if it's on a Tuesday or Wednesday and then said oh actually we like totally lied because we only care about making money and we recognize this is a big time opportunity to make money uh the Celtics be damned so we're going to play on Christmas day even though it's on a Wednesday this year yeah and um and the tweet I saw from Katherine Fitzgerald who uh doesn't she's such an incredible beat rider for the Buffalo Bills um at the Buffalo news but the teams playing on Christmas will play on the Saturday leading into Wednesday Christmas um and she added that at this point the NFL plans to rotate Christmas Day teams as the best games in best Windows rather than having something similar to Thanksgiving where the Lions and cowboys OB always play first of all not the Lions and cowboys fault that they were Visionaries a very long time ago but second of all this makes it seem like the NFL is going to make this an annual tradition like regardless of day so it's not just we're going to do it this year it's we're going to do it all the time and I think you agree we're probably going to get a noon game an afternoon game and a night game and it'll be six different teams every single year uh yeah that sucks do you hear Paul Paul hey buddy calm down can you see him wait can I can see Paul and the most overrated safety of all time oh my gosh that's untrue um that's not a picture of Troy palalo wow what a what a recovery wow um uh sorry yeah I I mean it sucks it sucks I don't think anyone wants that right I mean obviously you and I are biased it sucks because we'd have to cover it and that's not and i' look you know again and we're grateful we get to do this job to be clear but like you know you have to work Thanksgiving every year that sucks for you every single year at least I think so I don't I don't want to have to work Thanksgiving every single year I don't think that's fun I don't think that's cool I don't think it's necessary um and I know the Christmas thing wouldn't be one team every year but like having I I worked it this past year I worked it I think the 2017 season so you know already twice in the span of whatever many years it's just like let's just chill out it's no one's asking for it it's the NB or yeah it's totally the NBA's thing um if you want to have a game like if you want to do it with the weekend thing fine you know if like they did last year right or a Monday thing like if it's naturally around the weekend a sat Saturday Sunday Monday I'm fine with that I think that's okay to do make some sense but you're forcing it into a Wednesday game that's just stupid and it's very transparently a money grab if it falls on an on a normal NFL day and I'll even put Saturdays in the month of December because that's become a common thing but if it falls on a Thursday Saturday Sunday or Monday you got to leave you know that's fine right that's just that's the shake but that's literally more than half of the time cuz that's four the seven days exactly there's already enough Christmas opportunities stop yeah like you know so but if it falls on a Tuesday Wednesday or Friday you got to leave it alone man like just be cool by the way I just saw a tweet from Adam Sher it will be two games that the NFL will have so not three um and also to have them go from a Saturday to a Wednesday so now you're not only like having them do something Reckless and dangerous while caring about player safety with the hip drop stuff which everybody's pointed out but so you're also contaminating two weeks because you're contaminating the Saturday game that you have to go to from Sunday and now the Wednesday game so it's it's more than just like the Thursday night football where you're contaminating the second game you know what I'm saying so it's just and these are important games I mean beyond the obvious which is like player health I mean it's just I mean but they don't care and everybody will watch and it's frustrating yeah it's like you said they're whatever important games and uh you have that like you're saying the mini buy now you're giving a team a mini buy that could be a massive Advantage uh or disadvantage to the other team team having to play them depending on how they schedule it out so yep unnecessary and dumb um okay let's talk about the Dallas Cowboys even though there a whole bunch of nothing um so uh nothing literally nothing they even signed anyone else nothing dude there's no rumor didn't did they work anyone out anyone visiting nope uh I saw J oh the big Cowboys thing I saw was Jerry Jones like talking and he was like scribbling on the paper and just like a bunch of nothing I um I don't want to tell anybody how to have a good time or joke or meme or anything like this but uh my radio co-host does this um like when when he's on the radio he just scribbles like it's just a I don't know if it's like a nervous habit or whatever but like I don't think it means anything but it does look kind of funny it was it was funny in the context but like everybody there were some people who were taking it seriously who who were like oh my gosh he's taking notes or whatever but um he offered it's a it's really sitting on a te like Cowboys offseason plans or whatever it's just Cowboy strategy right now and it's funny because it's like you know it's a billionaire so it's a guy like ostensibly you're like oh this guy you know is like uh he thinks at a different level or whatever just like scribbling like on a piece of paper it's just very uh funny um Big Time updates I guess that we've gotten from Jerry and McCarthy in terms of speaking at the owner meetings um Jerry believes the run defense is improved even though they've lost a lot of people but because dearon overshown will be back um and Eric Kendricks is here so the overshown thing is so reckless to place all this pressure on on a dude who's technically never played in the NFL one third round pick to a third round pick granted he looked great in training camp in the pr no no no I mean I'm just telling both sides of the story um three is you know coming off injury right so like that's a big thing in and of itself and four you know the whole thing with Dan Quinn leaving was we want to get rid of these converted safeties as linebackers we need some legitimate linebackers he was a safety in college like he so he fits that mold too so like he's not even what you are saying that you want moving forward so that's the the first thing Jerry also said that the Cowboys couldnot afford to risk Tyron Smith hitting the contract excuse me the contract incentives in the deal that the New York Jets gave him now we covered this a lot of btb did you see anything about this no so tyron's base salary is $6 half million this year and the likely to be earned incentives that his deal has with the Jets take him up to 12 and quart million so his his cap hit his cap number for the Jets this year is 12 and a qu million that's it now and we wrote this in the article he has some not likely to be earned incentives in his deal as well that he could hit but those do not count against your cap this year they count against the Jets cap next year if he hits them obviously whichever ones he ultimately winds up hitting those are for a value of $6 and a half million and so I don't know if they think that we're just this dumb that we don't have access to this information you know what I'm saying like you're telling me that Tyron Smith who I completely understand the injur iny risk on and everything but who played when he did last year which was 13 games like the best left tackle in the NFL that's how he was graded by PFF you couldn't carry a 12 and a quar million dollar cap charge for that you know in a forget the Allin in a general year in which you are trying to compete and win a Super Bowl it's so stupid and so that's one of the headlines I'm kind of giving you everything to react to here Mike McCarthy said on well let me stop down on Tyron just real quick this quick thing I have to say about that it's like it's at a such important position too it's not like at a you know a luxury position where you can kind of AF like maybe like let's say running back where you might want to go cheaper in general it's like left tackle it's the second most highest paid position in the NFL it's like well maybe if there's a spot to take that kind of risk maybe that's the spot to do it and and on top of that a a player who you got on the cheap for a very long time who you know what I'm saying who was severely undercompensated um I'm look I'm not trying to say Tyron hasn't made a lot of money but like relative to like performance was UN you know underu I was pissed when they signed him to that extension I was like what the hell is this this is like Atlanta Braves uh shout out to my good friends Jack Fritz and James helter who joke that like the Braves like bring like guns to the negotiation of their players and like like hold it to their players heads maybe a little too morbid but like point being like they just like threaten their players to sign these insanely under Market deals so severely undercompensated homegrown player will be in the Ring of Honor will be in the Hall of Fame like if there were ever a dude to make exception for exception for exception for it would be him so we had that come out on Tuesday Mike McCarthy um well on wed on Monday he was on NFL Live with Adam schfer and man good to Mike McCarthy he's a better person than I think you and I are um he towed the company line he said he's not worried about the lack of frency moves he even said he's used to it obviously as the head coach of the Packers for forever they notoriously don't do this and the Cowboys so badly want to be them because they live rentree in their minds once again the team I hate the most outside the NFC East for obvious reasons um especially because now they're contaminating the Cowboys by in terms of their way of thinking but uh beyond that karthy said from The Breakfast Table on Tuesday that both Mazy Smith and Luke Schoonmaker had offseason shoulder surgeries so now you're talking about a world where your top 100 picks from last year in a draft class that was already very not good they are all coming back from some sort of surgery either before or after the rookie season obviously over shon's before um and you're counting on them to a significant degree the whole thing reeks to high hell I'm so pissed I hate everything I did uh you know see the clip of shefer uh interviewing McCarthy you referenced that right mhm yeah and it was kind of funny because shefer even pushes back on it because McCarthy's like oh you know like Hey we're good you know we don't need to sign anyone right now we're making you know the improvements we have internally are great and Adam shefter is like so that's your message to Cowboys s are you sure like are you sure you want to go with that because uh they're probably not going to be too thrilled about that and In fairness Martin McCarthy did talk about how the offseason is long and I said that um there's a lot of chances to still add players but uh while that is true more than one thing can be true and the Cowboys certainly I think missed a big window where they could have added even more players uh still at a reasonable rate so that's kind of what we've been saying for the past so many episodes here since free agency began really and it still Rings true because they haven't done anything so basically everything is really bad um and I will say this is a weird way to put it but I'm proud of Cowboys fans like and I think whenever times are bad with the Eagles I think you would agree with this like you have your homers no matter what right like you have people that are oh the team is right you don't know like you you know you don't know what they're planning like you're you're not going to trust the guys who were there every day BL you know what I mean like you have that stuff no matter what um but most people are kind of have had their eyes opened a little bit this offseason and I I don't even think at this point it was the way the season ended I think people are almost willing to forgive that right like I think people are almost willing to say you know what dude it sucked I was really mad but it's Sports sometimes you just lose I I think what's really really really push people is that they do not seem to care about fixing that there was like a level of trust that okay you know what we're going to give you this Mulligan but you know get to work and fix it and that they haven't done that has really upset a lot of people and a topic that a lot of people are kind of coming around towards is how much the Cowboys spend and I mean actual cash spin not salary cap space uh there was a great thread on Twitter from Joey AES who does a podcast for us at btb longtime btb and there was a great article on our site by the legendary OCC who I know you love um and have love forever um I don't know if you read this article uh but OCC wrote about the Cowboys cash spending basically from 2013 till now so almost the dawn of the new CBA there are some exceptions there um he couldn't find information for 2020 obviously that's a really unique year uh but looking at just the last three years which I think is kind of able because the Cowboys love to hang their hats on you know you know we've won 12 games in a row each the last three years blah blah blah this been the little run they've had under Mike McCarthy in those three years where do you think the Cowboys rank in terms of total cash spending across the entire NFL um 10th the Eagles ranked 10th they have spent $655 point2 million oh okay the Giants rank 15th they spent $ 636.3 million NFL average is $27.4 million the commanders this is mostly the cheap Dan Snider era by the way the the commanders have spent $ 68.4 million all right that's 19th the Cowboys are down at 30th they have spent 5343 million over the last America team baby so forgetting the most valuable sports franchise in the world forgetting the decimal just rounding Dallas at 534 Washington at 618 NFL average at 62 27 the Giants at 636 over 100 million more Philly at 655 you're talking about these teams that are finding ways of manipulating the salary cap to spend more money in the name of winning now in the last three years have the Eagles or Giants or commanders won a Super Bowl no have any of them won more games than the Cowboys I don't think that the Eagles have um in the last three years but it might be very close it's pretty close yeah whatever but you get my point have have they been better than the Cowboys or whatever like you again I'm not here to debate the the specifics of this well that's not the standard it's not just about being better than your divisional I know I know but what I'm here to say is like even if they haven't even if they'd all been like unbelievably worse they tried really hard you know what I mean they they tried as hard as they possibly could to be as good as they possibly could and that the Cowboys are this Beyond this this goes back to the point I made to you last week if you are truly that you know poor in terms of not literally but that poor in terms of spending and you're this good in terms of success by your own metrics that maybe pay the people at the very least who are responsible for you being this good like your quarterback and your head coach in this particular era it's ridiculous dude it's so frustrating and I do think a lot of people are upset with them and now believe more than ever that they view this the Joneses as a business and as a part of their portfolio not as something they're trying to capitalize on from a success standpoint rank the NFC East owners I don't give Jeffrey lurry a lot of credit when it comes to the Eagles like I give Howie Roseman all the credit so like I'm not trying to take away from Jeffrey Lorie well if you want to say that though but like Jeffrey lurry has like famously stuck by him through sure th and th and in times where he honestly probably shouldn't have but it did work out I would give it's tough to separate I would give John Mera a lot more credit than I think you would because I rank him I'm asking you to rank him I'm gonna go John Mara number one yeah what the hell I think he really cares I I think Jeffrey cares but he's clueless they're clearly clueless well but he's also willing to empower people and sometimes they the wrong people this is an awful ranking their Super Bowls are so fluky do like it's not like this you asked for my opinion so I'm going John have a better opinion I'm going Jeffrey lurry and then I'm going to go Jerry Jones just because you know Josh Harris is so new I can't I can't give him you know above I would say lurry number one um and and part of what you said there the cash spending thing if you shrink that window I don't how long of a window was that you said how many years this is just 2021 but I do think you I'll send it to you I think you would enjoy this because Philly has been at the top in the entire data set that l very yeah there's a good window I forget exactly one it is where like the eagles are definitely like one or two they're very high up there and that also fits the um kind of what the Eagles like to do with how they handle the salary cap like they're willing to restructure so many con so many contracts and uh take on you know dead money and stuff because lurry is willing to pay that money out of up front like signing bonus not just where the Cowboys by contrast are a more interested in having it as the players earn it through a base salary which is like you know it's not totally in valid or it's there's there's pros and cons to everything it's not like there's one right way to do it but if you're going to be aggressive with it and you're going to try to get an edge with it it it's kind of like how the Eagles have done it anyway so um this is from the article and again everyone should read it OCC wrot a WTB I sent it to you on slack belg um the cow this is directly from it the Cowboys ranked just 25th over the four-year period from 2013 through 2016 and that's despite signing Tony Romo to a then franchise record $18 million contract extension in 2013 that made him the fifth highest pay player the NFL at the time here's your line the Eagles rank number one over the period this is 13 through 16 with 63.9 million in cash spin a cool $22 million more per season than the Cowboys so your direct adversary your direct Challenger the biggest threat to you within the division is spending $22 million more per season I don't know what the NFL salary cap was off the top of my head in this uh window on average but call it I don't know $110 million um although I don't know what it was but I mean be but either way that's a significant percentage of the salary cap that they're finding a way to spend more this is the Cowboys view this as a budgeting tool versus teams like the eagles and I would put the Browns there I would put the Vikings there they view it as a weapon to manipulate and and take advantage of exactly and back to Joey's Twitter thread U which I know he was on the ticket talking about on Tuesday he his this was more tinf foil hat Theory but he talked about how the Cowboys are just a part of the Jones's business portfolio and they're Pro how they're probably not even theones J's most profitable business and how when Jerry bought the Cowboys in the obviously late 80s early 90s that he sunk all of his like business Equity into the team and so from a business standpoint in order to succeed in order to have a positive return on investment the Cowboys had to succeed right like the Cowboys had to have success for him to have business success and so it at the time there was a higher level of energy and a higher level of devotion or whatever you want to call it and they obviously had success and that was able to be parlayed into this and this and this and more and more and more and more and maybe other NF owners are in buildings or in situations like that I don't know Jeffrey L's financial status but you know there's definitely an an an NFL owner who has just the team that they own they don't have all these other subsidiary sort of things like Jerry or Arthur Blank or Stan Kony or whatever the case may be so it can just exist because especially the Cowboys they're this this organism that sort of is now this like self- livv self-governing thing that just is so insulated by its brand and the NFL's brand that you don't have to spend like you can argue and OC did did this in the article and I'll let you react and we can move on after this every dollar if you look at it as a business spent on the Cowboys is spent way shorter than it is for every other NFL team right like you think about like a dollar that the Jaguars would been their ownership it goes so much farther because of what they're trying to grow you can almost argue that spending money is losing money from a business standpoint for the Cowboys because their brand is so large relative to the entire field yeah go Larry number one Josh Harris number two just by by virtue of go by virtue of he hasn't proved yet to be terrible I mean this Jerry Jones stuff I know the success has been there on field but in terms of like owner giving you the edge I think I have a hard time saying second right now especially after all the stuff you're saying I'll put him three and I'll put the so the it's not I get what you saying with theera you think he cares like a fan and that's nice and all but also I think they're clueless and also I think part of the biggest problem with the Giants or a problem with them might not be the biggest problem is the split ownership I think that kind of causes not a cohesive Vision always and I think that's kind of what went down like Eli late career was that there was some desire to move on from him uh from maybe like the tis side I think it was but then the mea side wanted to hold on to him so there's I think that that rare kind of thing where they have the double ownership thing kind of works against them and they've been so inept they've been literally the worst team or one of the worst teams since like 2017 so I'm going to rank them towards the bottom down there and their Super Bowls are fluky so boom um we should probably take a break because we haven't even got to the Eagles uh I'm sorry but one second and I'm gonna have to try to write about this in parallel to us um talking here Ian Rapaport just tweeted right now Cowboys did something no uh the cow this is his tweet for the Cowboys and cubby Dak Prescott have a mutual understanding of his contract situation sources say with no offers from Dallas despite him being in a contract year o owner Jerry Jones said we are where we are locked and loaded for this year no indication Z GNA be a free agent baby I'm I'm curious he is I mean literally he is I'm I'm not um I'm curious he can't tag him I know I know my question is how does this make you feel because if you're happy then that's an acknowledgement that Dak is very good well I think he's an idiot if he doesn't test the market so I mean I think it's great if he tests the market because then either he gets way too much money from the Cowboys or he leaves and the Cowboys I mean I'll take quarterback X over like Dak and terms of there's a lot of room to go down for sure um so I think it's the worst case scenario for the Cowboys so that's why I'm happy about it uh how do you feel that so you're trying to say like well if you think this is bad news then you think he's good like Weir gotta thing you very obviously do that's not the point though the point is it's bad news for the Cowboys and that's the biggest deal of it it's bad news because he's good so you think D is good that's fine um it's bad news because they they're going to lose or they're going to overpay him and they're going to overpay him means that he is obviously good to a point but not good enough ultimately this is where like this ultimately all boils down to or what it all boils down to he is now less than a year from True open market free agency right like he has unparalleled I would say like that has not existed uh presuming God willing full health for him throughout the season because even the quarterbacks that have hit it um have have done so with like some sort of qualifier like Kirk the offseason pton obviously in 2012 um you know Kirk wasn't viewed I think you would agree the way Dak would be viewed in the offseason um the time he did hit free agency when he was healthy when he s with Minnesota so like in in the dawn of like quarterback Stupid Money nobody has ever been in this situation I guess Tom Brady kind of was um in 2020 when he joined the bucks but even then he was viewed as a little old and nobody yeah again it was it was unique in and of itself that you would risk this happening is so unfathomably dumb I mean so unbelievably dumb and that you don't understand that in order to prevent this you have to have you have to offer something that is worth turning down that golden ticket for Dak you know what I'm saying that has to be the offer whether you think that's fair or not that's the position you put yourself in you know what I'm saying and and so they have done this and now they're going to risk I don't care how good you think deck is not you specifically blg but anybody but he is undeniably a top quarterback in the NFL top 10 top seven top again Define it how you want if you were to ever trade him which you can't because he has a no trade clause but if you were you would fetch what three first round picks like you know like we don't have to sit here and and debate the specifics of that but like you would get a lot and now you are on the verge of watching him not only leave your team and therefore leave you unqualified at the at the most important position in the game but literally leave a cool you you'll get a 2026 third round compensatory pick because we damn know that you won't sign anybody to balance it out yourselves on your side of free agency so this is this has the potential to be the most completely botched free agency quarterback situation in modern NFL history we're we're getting closer and closer and closer to that and there's no viable backup plan right there's nothing I mean because you know trance will be a free agent after this year right um obviously Cooper Rush is not the answer I mean it'll be I think you know hearing that and the draft coming up I don't think the Cowboys are going to like trade up to number three or something like crazy but I mean it'll be interesting to see what they do in the draft at quarterback because they're if that's the case they have to hedge their bet it feels like in some regard unless they're just going to roll really with what they have but uh yeah it's really dumb in terms of speaking giving your team an edge I mean that's not giving your team an edge by trying to wait this is the best case scenario for the Cowboys obviously this goes without saying they win the Super Bowl and it's like the Joe flacko thing or you just pay him doesn't matter like just literally pay him literally any amount he wants any even if it's like a terrible contract in theory who cares you just won the Super Bowl that's the only way this works out that's the only situation that's a good situation for the Cowboys um I hate everything and I'm G to have to write an article while Brandon's telling me about how the Eagles are doing things successfully so let's take a break and then get to that go ahead I don't even care anymore baseball season starts in two days I'm good it's off season has beaten you down uh Eagle stuff well quz Watkins isn't back that's cool we like that he's gone they go sign Paris Campbell from the Giants he was bad last year and was like one of their 70 slot receivers they had on their roster he'll compete for that quz wakin spot along with Devonte Parker ostensibly I think the real goal is to try to get someone in the draft who can beat out both of those guys and uh be a nice little third option when it comes to the receiver group behind AJ Brown and Devonte Smith and also just this is something I don't want to jinx here but I've been thinking about it like AJ Brown and Devonte Smith have stayed remarkably healthy and it makes sense they're younger players they haven't had long injury histories but over the past two years like they've barely missed any time I think Devonte wouldn't have even missed the one game he did last year if it weren't for it being a kind of a meaningless week 18 game obviously AJ missed the playoff game so um more than zero games missed but still very few games missed so uh they definitely kind of I think need to take a little bit more of an investment in receiver especially the draft I think being the way to go there after what they've already added um not much else they signed a nickel quarterback from the Raiders the name is Tyler Hall he might be their nickel quarterback this year he might not uh there isn't a lot of super big juicy headlines even out of Hoy Roseman I would say some of the big takeaways from him speaking were that they felt like they missed the Swagger so that's obviously factoring into the CJ GJ contract which I think I saw was only like 10 million guaranteed so not too much of a risk there um they also talked about how taquon is going to be a big part of the plans and I think that's maybe somewhat noteworthy in terms of uh by the way today's March 26 saquon Barkley wait is he wearing 26 The Eagles I think so I think he that's a you question I think he's keeping his number yeah he said he considered eight I believe but that's actually what CJ GJ is going with because of Kobe um even though he could have gone 23 yeah San's 26 um the messaging with saquin is very much that you know he's running back one which is not how the Eagles have handled things in for a while now honestly probably since Shady where they're like yeah you know DeMarco disrespect oh my gosh well I mean true but okay DeMarco Murray I guess but that's not even true though because they had Ryan mat they signed Ryan Matthews too and they had both of those guys there um and obviously DeMarcos sucked as well so that wasn't even the case it was really going back to the days of shady and obviously to talking more about when Hoy Roseman was actually in charge of the team which he was not in 2015 so uh there's been a lot of talk about Squan and how you know they're really going to I think ride him and how the running back thing how he kind of talked about he thinks running backs have become a little bit undervalued it's gone a little bit too far in the running backs don't matter thing and uh lastly on this serani one of the bigger things from his press conference was that uh he compared saquan to the AJ Brown acquisition and that they definitely want to like design the offense in no small part to feature him and be a big weapon weon in the offense not just a he's not just a running back he's a weapon he can pass protect he can catch the ball he can do everything he can and I was talking about this uh on a show I guess it on this week the mythical offseason fantasy football Twitter loves this thing oh this running back is lining up in the slot oh no well watch out it's GNA revolutionize Tony Bard in the slot oh my gosh how are teams's going to defend never happens never actually manifest anything meaningful in the regular season could that be different with the Eagles we'll see with your boy Kellen Moore in charge now in charge quote unquote um think serani keeps saying it's a meshing of the systems um but I think that's all that's going on in Eagles land other than yes they also added Will Greer as we talked about earlier who is very much here to I think just be a camp arm slh help some of the other quarterbacks translate this whatever schematic or the terms the language from uh the Cowboys part to maybe to what is going to be now the Eagles new setup so there you go um so couple things here um the um Roger cadell downplayed health I just saw this right now so um when talking about playing on Christmas that's hilarious but the thing I was going to get to uh Packers president Mark Murphy told reporters that the NFL is deciding between them and the Browns to play the Eagles in Brazil in week one you mentioned that game is on peacock so we know the Eagles are playing in Brazil week one peock but NBC locally okay but that's technically speaking of locally a home game for the Eagles right that they're giving up yes okay so that's one of the nine because the NFC gets nine this year um one of the nine home games it's being played in Brazil it's on peacock for international audience or not International for the non-local audience I don't know where it is for the international audience except for Brazil but um Packers or Browns who would you rather play in week one um uh that's a good question uh I guess I don't really care I guess the Browns in terms of like I'm trying to think strategically what's the best um versus I guess the Browns because in theory deshun Watson could stink so bad that he gets like benched at some point don't you think that's on the table for this season like that's that's plausible it's posible that um they go to jamus or Tyler Huntley or or uh DTR at some point that deshun Watson is so bad I feel like that's on the table by the end of the season so I'd rather them play him early in the year um assuming he is going to be bad again so yeah although you could say it could be better to face him later in the year with the thought that uh you're hope you're hoping they're more banged up and like maybe miles Garrett misses a game or something but I'll say that uh the Browns um I think so too I'd rather play the Browns with DeShawn um so I don't know when the Cowboys are going to draw them but you know because the NFC East plays the NFC North this year also maybe there's a little bit like of a hangover there because the Browns had like this like magical ride until you know they lost to the Texans for a little bit so maybe they're thinking like they're a little bit better than they are like they're they're hot stuff and there's like a reality check for them I could see that kind of happening whereas the Packers I think kind of have this uh Packers would be underdogs in that game I'm guessing and they kind of have this like house Money Young team Feld ready to take a step forward I think the Packers are a little bit scarier in a week one scenario I agree they still kind of not I don't the Packers are going to be like a hot Super Bowl pick I think they'll be like a hot NFC North pick but um they're a hot Super Bowl bet pick in terms of uh like the odd value value pick sorry I'm talking like the week one pregame shows you know no one's going to be pick when they're like okay Brandon give us your Super Bowl 59 pick you know no one's going to be like oh uh the Packers whatever um because people are still going to say like the lions like the lions are going to be one of those picks again you know what I'm saying um but so you could like I'm I don't want the Packers in that that moment I'm way way way afraid of them but so beyond that on are we done with the Eagles because I don't know but um I want to make sure we hit everything I think so the will G thing if I have that right like he was going to be the quarterback three presumably until they traded for Tre Lance and then it was clear he wasn't and then he had that awesome third preseason game or good preseason third preas that was the final preseason game um I can't believe we had talked about this but um he had the final pre-season game and it was like the day after they traded for TR LS so it's kind of cool for him that he got like one last and I don't know if you knew this um on the subject of offensive play caller Dak was the offensive play caller for that game so um and Dak Eagles offensive coordinator in 2044 that was that was the funny thing I thought about this was that Dak was Will gre's offensive coordinator and now Kell so and it was a really uh and it was a real big bummer when G didn't make the Cowboys roster um just because he was really well acted and a lot of people thought after the 20 22 season that he had a chance last year to be Cooper rush out for the backup job but then Cooper Rush had the Run he had and it was like oh well you know um so but he's he's a good dude cool guy easy to root for he bounced around last year after the Cowboys moved on yeah so I I will say it is interesting how Kell Moore has brought in Doug nus and um now Will Greer I know I'm missing somebody else there's another staff member it's not like a position coach I think it's a little bit lower but there's another guy yeah from the Kell MO or two from the Kell Moore the Cowboys former Cowboys guys so it's almost like we really want you to be Dak Jaylen that's just just go be daak please uh that's what we all are are rooting for um okay um anything else on the Eagles no I think that's it for now uh we we're going to hear from Jeffrey lurry tonight uh as after we're recording this podcast on Tuesday around 2 o'clock Eastern so we'll see what he says but um you can stay tuned to BGN radio for that uh Giants still Buzz they could take a quarterback trade up for a quarterback JJ McCarthy has been connected not only to them but also the commanders who we can get to obviously last but uh that's kind of interesting I saw Ed our good friend Ed Valentine did a mock draft where I think he does like a mock draft a week for big blue View and they're not da as just you know like here's what I would do he does them as like here's a potential option like a thought experiment that we should explore so he did that with JJ McCarthy uh this week and not popular from what I'm gathering with giant Sands that post has 685 comments RJ so there's clearly a big heated discussion going on in the comments there on big blue view the other big thing I guess from them is that uh um uh you can do this Brian dble almost said Brian dble uh and both I think the MEA like John Meritt to basically pretty much they definitively said Daniel Jones is their starting quarterback which isn't surprising to you or me but they could have left it a little bit more open-ended and they didn't so and I think that's true even if they do draft a quarterback I still think they're going to give Daniel Jones one last chance because he's there anyway and they don't necessarily feel the need to force a rookie in right away um but yeah that's really that's all that's going on I think in Giants land yeah um what happens to them in the draft is obviously the story of their entire season but nothing nothing crazy nothing wild you did have something you wanted to get to on the commanders though um that was from was it Tom peliso was it his quote yes speaking at the owner meetings basically he was saying he was surveying what other teams you know are doing so it's not necessarily a direct Commander Source but more of that kind of the league expects this to happen and and you know a lot of smokes screen stuff who knows but he's saying that you know JJ McCarthy could be the Commander's guy and you know I've previously said that I think they're going to um take jadden Daniels but also to a bigger point I don't think it's Drake May that's kind of what I I guess more believe in so I'm kind of taking a half of a Victory lap on that where if it comes to pass but uh there seems to be some like momentum behind this in terms of maybe JJ McCarthy not necessarily the best Prospect but the best fit for a guy who comes from a Kyle Shanahan Tree in uh the the Commander's new GM Adam Peters so and funny enough our good friend Ben solak said his comparison his NFL comp for JJ McCarthy is Brock pie so maybe there's something to that and you know Everyone likes to I think poke fun about the M Jones thing in what was that 2021 that was 2021 yeah but everyone kind of made fun of that as like that was ridiculous that wasn't going to happen yeah I think it was closer to happening than obviously didn't happen but you also saw like we saw how okay it didn't happen but then we saw how Kyle Shanahan hated Tre Lance and didn't want to play him so you know maybe maybe KY shanan really did want M Jones and that's why a lot of people were saying that at the time and then ownership or whoever else the GM kind of you know made a different decision I think people uh incorrectly assume that teams everyone within a team is at a given time pulling in the same direction that is often not the case it's also it's not the case in any kind of industry I feel like or relationship necessarily so uh yeah we'll see what the commanders do there a quarterback I think it's safe to say you would be joining me and liking uh JJ McCarthy ending up in either Washington or New York right MH okay sorry I'm this there was an update on the dag thing this is how the sausage gets made around here you know that's just we're almost done just finished now I know well this is a kind of a big time thing um and I I can't just speak by myself though I have I have an update for you I I really like the commander offseason and I at this point I'm there's not a quarterback they can take that's going to you know push me off of that you know what I'm saying like even if they took drej McCarthy too I I wouldn't feel like oh what a bunch of losers like that's so stupid they ruined this you know what I mean like rank the quarterbacks you would most prefer them to take at number two most prefer them to take because threatened by them Jen Daniels JJ McCarthy DME wow yeah I think I have McCarthy number one and and I'm willing to be wrong on the jayen Daniels thing but like I'm the his frame concerns me you know what I'm saying like like if I was if I was that team like I'm not at all denying that he has a higher ceiling than someone like JJ McCarthy but I think mcarthy might right exactly and especi it's not just like oh it's my first- round quarterback it's your number two overall quarterback so that you know adds to the number two overall quarterback at a time where like this is the this is the franchise reset it's now like it it's now or not that they can't recover from it but it could be a long time until they recover there was actually a very I think honest and sobering article on Hogs Haven recently that I read about like what are the fair expectations for uh a quarterback taken at number two and on historical context even they were admitting like it's a bit much to expect this guy to be the franchise savior just based on history you know based on uh how the draft goes how quarterbacks are evaluated and turn out to be and go to you know teams that aren't very good like it's a lot to expect this guy to instantly be the Savior now again that can happen the ceiling is there you can see what a a CJ stoud does for an organization for example or Joe burrow and maybe the commanders end up hitting on that guy obviously burrow a little less likely of a parallel because of being him being the number one overall pick and such a dominant Prospect in his final year LSU but um yeah I mean that's ultimately what it comes down to it's going to Define their era their next era of Commander football all this free agency stuff is great and whatnot they're going to be a better team they've raised their floor Den Quinn is an upgrade over your favorite Coach Ron Rivera that's fine doesn't really matter if they can't get the quarterback right uh they're not exactly scaring anyone with Marcus Mariota back there um we've got to get out of here very soon so a couple of quick hitting things now that we're done with the command exactly my thanks to Brandon for U carrying us a little bit first Ian Rapaport added an update um to his tweet which makes it worse um he quoted it he quoted himself and said this appears so like I don't know if you agreed but like the initial tweet seemed kind of hypothetical to me or seemed seemed like kind of vague and you know what I mean like it could mean the deal's coming it could mean it's not coming whatever the second one makes me want to vomit um he quoted himself and said this appears to clear the path for Dak Prescott to test free agency in 2025 well I mean it's just common sense too right because if the Cowboys were going to do a restructure in an aggressive way they would have done it by now cuz that was how you get the full benefit of doing that there's no what's the point of doing it later that doesn't benefit you I agree I mean and what's and what's dak's reason to do it at that point like why is Dak is a fool and I thought he was dumb last time to Cave when he did he ultimately made out relatively well but he could have made out even better if he just waited a little bit longer to test the market and uh so maybe he'll cave again to the much to the Delight of cowboys hands but at this point it just feels like there's no good reason to because he enters free agency next year and even if it's a deal that he gets from the Cowboys it's going to be an awesome deal for him um okay so that's that uh next thing and then we do songs there was a report that the inseason hard knocks this year will be centered on a Division not a specific team because it's kind of come on you know it's division to pick NFL if it is the NFC East do we have to commit to like live shows or something like live break breakdowns after the episodes or something I think so I think we have to do I mean yeah I think I yeah so um I believe those air on Tuesdays so what's to the point in this podcast that we don't do that yeah so if I'm right and they air Tuesdays and it's the NFC East I think starting those weeks in the NFL season we would push our show to being a live one for as long as the episodes run like the six week we figure it out they might be we could do shorter episodes depends on yeah what we're getting content wise if it's actually any good but yeah I think we I think we kind of have to um okay let's uh do songs and get out of here raelle got her submitted very very early because she is the best and I'm pulling it up right now she went with Dance the Night by dual leipa and you added an exclamation Emoji yeah I like I like a Dua Lia du Lia uh I can't say like I know all of her discography I'm not like an expert or anything um but I like her I like your music so boom um I'm GNA go with a song that plays at a lot of San Antonio Spurs games the Spurs who won without wimy on Tuesday night um okay who cares well well I do because I have to assign my sports energy somewhere right now and it's definitely not the Cowboys um I'm going with Let's Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez wow um I'm going to break from theme of uh Latin artist to go with uh taking back Sunday's great romances of the 20th century specifically the demo version cuz the demo version has this spoken intro that I think is a great addition to the song and is not on their actual album so I'll find a way to send that to you okay uh it's also it is available on Spotify as well so it's out there it shouldn't be impossible to find but it's such a long title that it's hard to see like demo version at the end you know what I mean like you're not seeing like it's not like a one uh song title and then you see demo after it so you kind of have to like let it scroll to see the whole thing so anyway uh yeah finally good to get some taking back back Sunday representation on the playlist here so I'm going to go with that song I Hate Everything um and everyone and our good friend Holden loves your Misery by the way he is this is this is my last thing and then we can go I meant to ask you last week um I know it feeds him and Holden runs whenever he has misery he's not even you know doesn't have enough honor to face the fight he does um that's okay but so um is this enjoy like this I think all Cowboys fans are curious is this enjoyable because what what it feels like to me is when the Cowboys played the Eagles the second time and you were so like down you were like I'm not even like into this like the eagles are going to lose and like they're going to fall apart and obviously all that stuff happen but so like I would think that it would be like maybe at first it was funny and maybe like every time something happens you're like haha that sucks for them but I do think it it probably sucks a little bit because it's taking some steam out of competition Holden did say he missed you on Monday football Monday so there is a positive compliment hold's mine so but uh anyway um no I'm I'm good with it I'm pretty cool with it it's not like Spike the football happy about it like let's go because it's not really that kind of thing because it's just they're doing nothing so not like yeah I'm so fired up about the Cowboys doing nothing it's more of just like oh that's like a relief it's kind of just like good they're not making a trade there isn't some kind of big thing popping up now watch me jinx it here I was actually looking at the Cowboys transactions because for some reason in my head I thought they kind of like waed out the uh Market a little bit and got um Stefan Gilmore and Brandon Cooks like in April or later that wasn't even true I was looking at it was like the first week of free agency March 19th for Brandon Cooks and then Gil like two days later yeah Gilmore yeah was actually right near the start of free agency so and then after that you know what the Cowboys did after that like almost nothing like they resigned Jonathan henkins I'm looking at all their other moves after that and basically until no B basically the whole rest of the summer they did nothing so just based on precedent it's not like well don't worry because we're gonna make some moves later like the eagles do and they traded for CJ GJ like right before the season or made some moves in training like signed Zack hunningham in training camp whatever um Cowboys don't have a history of doing that they did sign Malik hooker in training camp a couple years ago and then they signed him to an extension last year during Camp um they I mean they brought in Brett Maher um you know kavante Turpin I mean Anthony bar like they've brought in a handful of dudes but Alfred Morris Once Upon a Time I mean but this is so dumb I hate they are making me I'm being serious they are making I was on status they are making me like football less so that's great that's music to my ears um speaking of songs let's leave and the perfect dallad as we do say whatever you want I really don't care whatever I want I don't really care it doesn't matter blah blah blah
