Dianna Russini: Nobody Thinks Micah Parsons Will Play For Anyone But The Cowboys

21:35Rich Eisen:like how many more years is this happening uh well diana uh i'll give you this answer then we'll then we'll get to the task at hand um my kids are 17 soon to be 14 and soon to be 12 and suzy and i are still in training camp with some of their issues okay so uh that's a fact and enjoy them while you got them at this age for sure enjoy that because the barkley jerseys are going to get bigger and more expensive. I might add, probably.

22:05Dianna Russini:They got the Kelly Green one, so at least they've got good taste. We let them pick. My husband's an Eagles fan, so they are. And the fact that they can even say Saquon Barkley, which is, you know, it's a pretty unique name. I'm proud of them. But yeah, they're going to be rocking the Kelly Green. I'm going to take them down to training camp one day so they can see their heroes.

22:23Rich Eisen:That's awesome. Diana Rossini of The Athletic joining us here on the Rich Eisen Show. When holdouts become hold-ins, that gives us the sense that something's happening. What is happening with Trey Hendrickson now that he has shown up in Cincinnati?

22:36Dianna Russini:Not necessarily, actually. I know what you're saying. If you think if they're showing up, then they're close. Right. I think there's a lot of, we'll call it public relations behind moves like that, right? Because think about what happens. We'll use the two that are the big stories right now, even three, including Micah. Look at the ones that are there that it showed up and are holding in versus the ones that were holding out like Trey just was doing. The cameras, the writers, the interviews, the podcasts, the shows, everyone, all the attention in Washington was on Terry when he showed up. And he continues to be that story compared to when Terry wasn't there.

23:15Dianna Russini:So you look at Trey Hendrickson, right, who I spoke to and I've been in contact with him throughout this entire hold out now hold in. He really did not want to be a distraction for the Bengals. he didn't I don't think he mentally could handle being so close to the field his house is right across from the stadium I think the idea of just like hearing the whistles seeing the fans was just going to be hard on him and I also think he wanted to send a message I'm the best player on this defense and you need me so I'm not going to show up and that's kind of the old way of doing it. And now there's this new way I think is helpful for what the players are looking for, which is to get paid.

23:59Dianna Russini:And so now I think Trey spent a few days away and just to go back slightly, they were negotiating a deal up until the night before the veterans were reporting. And there was a thought that this was getting done. And when Trey Hendrickson and his agent saw what the final contract looked like after the Bengals made two offers in a 24-hour period and were aggressive in trying to get this done, that contract did not look like the contract that they discussed that was expected to be in front of them, right? And so what was missing from the contract compared to those conversations? That second-year guaranteed money, right?

24:39Dianna Russini:So we all know now that's what he's been looking for. It was not there. and that's when he took off to Jacksonville, to the Jacksonville area where his in-laws are, his family is, to train and to just get away from it. But now he's there over at practice.

24:54Rich Eisen:So is it right to, I'm just trying to pick up what you just put down, verbal agreement to have money guaranteed in year two, went through the business affairs, legal staff, lo and behold, poof. Because that's a story as old as Los Angeles as well to blame it on business affairs.

25:11Dianna Russini:just so right you know yeah i don't know if it was like uh all right let's do it send over the paperwork you know and you're you're popping champagne in terms of how far that went along there just was a very he never even left his house thinking he was going to practice the next day right so there was a good understanding that they were going to be close to getting this done and then when it came down to hammering this out it was wait wait wait we talked about this second year This is what I want. I want to be treated like a premier player on this team, getting those guarantees that I saw my teammates get, that we've seen the Bengals step up and take care of over the last season or two, obviously with their quarterbacks and their receivers.

25:53Dianna Russini:So I think this one has been difficult. And Rich, when you're watching these, and you've been watching these for years now, I always like to see who has the stomach for it because it certainly takes a certain type of characteristic to just stand there and be like, I don't want to be a Bengal anymore. And that's not what Trey's saying, right? Like, he loves Zach Taylor. He loves Mike Brown. I was talking to him about ownership, thinking, I mean, this is a guy who can't, this is a player, you know, who's coming off a phenomenal season. You would think he would give me a little like, yeah, ownership is cheap, you know, all the things that we hear about Cincinnati.

26:30Dianna Russini:And he is telling me that Mike Brown is probably one of the best people to live in the city of Cincinnati, right? So I don't sense any anger towards the organization. He wants to be there. It's just he also wants to be treated fairly. So when I've been talking to him, I sense this tug of war of like the man, the player, the business, the family, part of the family so big for him. And I just think this isn't as easy as we've seen for other players. You know, look at Miles Garrett. Remember that around the Super Bowl? I mean, Miles is like walking around doing all these interviews with us going, train me.

27:07Dianna Russini:I hate Cleveland. Like, just like whatever he had to say, because Miles had the stomach for it. Right. Like he he had the guts to be like, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get the money I want. He always wanted to be a Brown the whole time. But he was able to perform in a way that made us all believe, oh, Miles is mad. Andrew Barry, you better write that, you know, figure out a way to get Jimmy Haslam to write that check. And of course, he got it.

27:30Rich Eisen:Diana Rossini here on The Rich Eisen Show. So Trey Hendrickson, the most recent, I guess, volley between both sides. You put your finger on a second year guaranteed dollar number that Hendrickson wants to see and didn't see is the reason why this is still going on. Why is it still going on with Micah and the Cowboys? Can you pinpoint the issue there, Diane?

27:54Dianna Russini:So the most common conversation I have with people around the league is actually me asking the questions to those that are in these positions, whether it's owners and general managers of, hey, like, take me inside Jerry's mind from your perspective. What do you see?

28:10Rich Eisen:Yes.

28:11Dianna Russini:Because I go on every show and I write about it every day of just, this is Jerry. And I'm exhausted by just blaming it on the business and the entertainment side of Jerry. There's got to be a reason.

28:23Rich Eisen:Right.

28:24Dianna Russini:And I truly, no one knows. No one is able to come up with this cool idea like, all right, well, this actually is why they do it and it makes sense. Now take a listen. No, no, no. It's always, this is just what Dallas does. We've got teams like Houston. We've got teams like the Philadelphia Eagles, even the Rams in some cases, outside Stafford a bit, who are always getting ahead and paying attention to the market. And then I think Jerry just doesn't really mind this. We talk about the stomach for it. This man's got the stomach for it. He does not care. And I think the part of this that I know players have shared with me over the years where this becomes a problem is, yeah, it's all fun and games and the headlines.

29:07Dianna Russini:And they're selling the Cowboys every single day because here we are talking about it every day. And it is the biggest story in football right now outside of the unfortunate shooting and these other holdouts. But it's affecting players and team. And that was something Trey Hendrickson and I discussed, just taking away from what they're supposed to be doing. And that's the work during training camp to be prepared. Look at the San Francisco 49ers a year ago. Almost every one of those players that hold out or had contract issues admitted later in the year that they came out slow or perhaps had some injuries because they missed training camp.

29:42Dianna Russini:Like, we know that it comes with a problem. Yet, Jerry Jones continues to think it works and it's OK.

29:50Rich Eisen:No, and I know you said that he has the stomach for it, you know, and that means there's a standoff of some sort. Like he he can't be just holding this deal up that's ready to be made just because he likes this conversation. Cowboys are going to be in the headlines no matter what. Right. So, like, what is what is the, in fact, hold up? because he Stephen Jones did say on on a local radio hit and one oh five three the fan in the Metroplex made you know this is after his comments that that that Micah has to want to get paid right and he basically said you know they don't hold up deals just to hold them up they do it when the time is right and they're not going to do it early and and pay more than what the market is you know and it just it's very difficult to square the circle as to whether he and his dad are talking when they talk about this are they talking about stuff that happened last year that didn't happen are they talking about stuff that happened earlier in the year that didn't happen or are they talking about the here and now it's tough to pinpoint the exact

30:54Dianna Russini:chasm here diana you know i i think it's well known now at this point and and if those that you know maybe missed some of the reporting over the last few weeks that Micah and Jerry Jones discussed this contract and what it would look like. And it appears that they had the conversation that we started off this conversation that you and I had about sometimes this happens in business where you're like, all right, this is what it looks like. This is what we're going to do. And then Micah got his agent involved and somehow this thing went off the rails. Right. And that's and that's where we're at now, where whatever they thought was going to be the deal, what they discussed, obviously is not what came down to the paperwork when it was dealt by with his agent, David Moguleta.

31:39Dianna Russini:So when I hear Stephen Jones say he's got to want to be paid, to me, I hear that as the numbers just isn't what Micah wants. It's as simple as that. Like, yes, do I think Jerry Jones has a number on the table for Micah? Yes. But I think it's underpaid. I don't think it's for the value that Micah is looking for and really what he means to the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones's words, not mine. He could be the greatest Cowboy with the most talent to ever play. So they know his value. And yet here we are, ends of July. And Rich, I have just a hard time believing, and this is even just asking people around the league who are watching this to see, maybe they'll trade him.

32:20Dianna Russini:Nobody thinks that Micah Parsons is going to play for any other team but the Dallas Cowboys like they're no one's calling right now like all right like let us know yeah right so it's like a real we're just like filling the air right now to just talk about this when we know the week before or maybe even the day of right like we saw last year or two years ago with Jack it's like it's gonna get done he's gonna make 43 or whatever you know somewhere around there um but they just they make it hard but but they kind of they do this and I'm going to keep asking of why. And trust me, I talk to people in Dallas too.

32:56Dianna Russini:And, you know, they always give the same kind of tone before even Stephen Jones came on my podcast last year and it's almost like we are crazy and they're the same one. Like he's got this amazing ability to be like, Hey moron, I know what I'm doing. You don't. And I'm like, well, I think I, I don't know. Do I know what I'm doing? I don't know.

33:13Rich Eisen:It sounds like a marriage, Diana, not to be honest, either you're lying or being honest like you know am i the crazy one or you're the crazy one but i mean it's it's it's uh it's something diana russini of the athletic here on the rich eisen show and again i guess let's let's complete the circle here uh terry mclaurin's got to get done right i mean like this has to get done you're not gonna go in a year two you're not gonna go in a year two of jaden daniels and take away his his go-to guy i mean they were one of the best dynamic combinations in the NFL last year.

33:44Dianna Russini:The story of the year. They were the story of the year last year, without a doubt. You got the superstar quarterback. They make it to the NFC Championship game. And in a way that, from a let's just talk money standpoint, it actually hurts the commanders because now you have a player like Terry McLaurin who has been, you know, who's probably the favorite player in Washington. You know, wanting probably a little bit more money than he would have asked for if they didn't make it to the NFC championship game. Like that's the reality because it's obvious that the Washington commanders are all in here to try to win a Superbowl.

34:16Dianna Russini:Um, when they got this quarterback on a, on a very cheap deal. Um, but these are champagne problems to me. You know, I look at Washington right now, like, you, you've got the receiver that we know your cue needs. Cliff Kingsbury knows he needs Terry McLaurin. Um, so I think, you know, even around the league, those looking at this as well, I I've heard a lot of different opinions. And even this morning I was, I was talking to someone and I think the biggest holdup for Washington is the age, right? I think that's, that's what's hurting Terry. I think if Terry was younger, this would have been done already.

34:53Dianna Russini:Um, but this always goes back to guarantee money. How much guarantee money is Terry looking for? We all know by now that the price he's looking for is, you know, in the, in the, in those low thirties, He's looking at the DK Metcalf deal. And if you do the math, let's just say we get to a guarantee. Let's say we're looking for a three year guaranteed deal. Three years. He's 33. Right. That I could see why Washington may be hesitant there. But when you when you look at what everything Terry brings and what he's been about. And this is a Dan Quinn head coach. Right. This is this is somebody that values and prioritizes culture.

35:31Dianna Russini:and what better message to send your locker room and really to the rest of the league that in Washington, we cherish the good ones. Like, oh, by the way, he can play. But think about who Washington was before Jaden got there. Terry was holding that thing up, right? It was like he would, I'm saying this even from like a media perspective, like when you would cover Washington, you would just ask for Terry because you knew you were going to get a great interview. You knew he was going to be a pro. You knew he was going to give you, you know, what the star players give you. And so now here he is. He's sharing the limelight a little bit.

36:02Dianna Russini:And it's almost like Washington forgot slightly. So, look, this is the first real big deal for Adam Peters. You know, so I am curious to see how they hammer this out. But I can tell you they're not trading them. That's not on the table at this moment. Teams have inquired over the last few months, and they've all been told no. So this gets done. I just don't know who's going to walk away from this one feeling like they won. I'm not sure at this point.

36:30Rich Eisen:In your role as senior NFL insider for the athletic, Diana Rossini, the folks you're talking to around the league are asking you about which team more than any other to see what's what. Like who's the league curious about when they're talking to you, Diana?

36:48Dianna Russini:Some of it's probably because of what I'm posting, but I recently received a few text messages about the Denver Broncos defense asking because I was just in Denver on Monday, spent some time with them. Let's just start with the star of the show with Bo Nix there. He's different this year, Rich. Why? He's different. How? He's a big boy now. I was with him last year, this time. And my favorite question to ask second-year coaches and quarterbacks, players even, like what's the difference? Like we're, tell me, take me through your first training camp compared to now. And so because Bo and I had spoken last year, he was so transparent.

37:31Dianna Russini:He's like, whatever I was saying to you was not true. I didn't know what I was doing. He's like, I was just, it was, it was actually so relatable. He's like, you know, you know, he's kind of comparing it. Like, you know, you're just kind of trying to get it. You're just trying to get through. Right. He's like, I memorized the plays. I didn't understand the plays. So he went from just doing it to now understanding the why of it, which once in basically in anything in life, right, when you get why you're doing it, you tend to comprehend it more. And so from just the understanding of a Sean Payton playbook, he's a different person because now he's confident because he gets it.

38:16Dianna Russini:You know, Coach shared that, you know, with the public that he's, that both spend some time with Drew Brees. And, you know, we just talked about what's the value of a Drew Brees. And, you know, obviously I'm thinking, oh, you know, he's going to coach you up on how to deal with these kind of defenses and this, that. And it wasn't even about that as much as it was just the everyday habits that good quarterbacks have, what works for them, just trying to figure that out. And it takes a while for some of these guys to figure out what they want their minute-by-minute of their days to be like so they're getting the most out, whether it's individually or with their team or in the meetings or in their relationships.

38:52Dianna Russini:So he was sharing a lot about the value of that. So I take all that and I tell you all those details to just tell you that he physically looks different too. Like he looked jacked, like he looked bigger to me, but he's got way more of a swag to him out there. And it doesn't help that his coach basically stands on every inch of the grass screaming, I love Bo Nix. So just from ownership there, Greg Penner is fabulous, to Patrick Smythe, who's head of their comms. Like, everyone is just so locked in, and they appear to be on the same page. And I got to tell you, they are not afraid to talk Super Bowl.

39:33Dianna Russini:You know, sometimes you go to these teams, it's like, oh, we got to just focus on today. You know, like, we got to make sure we get our lunch in, and, you know, we get through this walkthrough. Like, this team's like, we want the Super Bowl. which tells me that they've got the confidence because they're seeing it. And as much as I talk about how great Bo is, and I was there when Cortland Sutton got his deal, that front five on defense, they are monsters. And obviously the reigning defensive player of the year in Patrick Sertan, just, I mean, when he's the one like chewing your ear off about the quarterback, like when he's like, man, this kid is so good.

40:14Rich Eisen:That's amazing, Diana, because, you know, from what I'm picking up, what you just said, Bo Nix went from last year, this year went from bravado to badass, you know, and and Sean Payton obviously is a guy who can create that. And last year at this time also, this was a team with a rookie quarterback after turning Russell Wilson into the biggest dead cap cut in the history of the league. And you're wondering how are they going to win in the first iteration of Bo Nix's contract when you're basically paying in years one and two of his contract a salary commensurate with a veteran big time quarterback.

40:49Rich Eisen:And yet here we are with a team added to bold face names from the, from the 49ers defense in free agency to that defense that features the defensive player of the year, reigning defensive player of the year and a kid in Jotty Barron on the other side. You know, on paper, you certainly can't blame them for talking Superbowl. You know what I mean? When you think about it,

41:12Dianna Russini:you're right. Like I, I thought we'd be talking about the Russell Wilson contract for another year or two.

41:18Rich Eisen:Or for the tenure of potentially Sean Payton's doomed time in Denver. You know what I mean? That's normally what tears a team down. And instead, what they have done is truly remarkable. Go ahead and ask Diana the question you asked me in my ear, Chris, and we'll set her on with the rest of the day. Can they win the West? Can they take down the Chiefs?

41:38Dianna Russini:Yeah, I believe so. They almost did last year, right? They had their opportunities. They're not afraid of them. They're not scared of them.

41:48Rich Eisen:I guess he's not talking about in any given Sunday situation. No, I'm talking about win, like go 12-5, 13-4, and win this division.

41:57Dianna Russini:Oh, I see what you're saying. Are you able to over – I mean, how could they not? I believe that because they're building this thing the right way and because they believe that they can do it, that they're going to be better than what they were last year. And, look, I know you're going to kick back on me. No, I mean – On the sophomore slump stuff. And, you know, I talked to Bo about it, talked to Sean about it. Just, you know, how do you prevent that? You know, it's obviously in your head a little bit, right? Because we saw it. We saw it. We've seen it enough times. But, you know, everyone always just points to the fact that Bo's been playing a lot longer.

42:31Dianna Russini:Bo's like 40. I know. I know. You know, he's 25. He's married. Like, he and I were talking about, like, he's good on the grill. Like, these are conversations I have with, like, with you, Rich.

42:42Rich Eisen:Well, I'm good on the grill, too. I would go grill for grill with Bo Nix. You should do that next time.

42:47Dianna Russini:You should talk about that. His teammates are the ones they tip me off on. They don't put Bo out there.

42:51Rich Eisen:They don't put Bo out there on a lot of national shows. They kind of, you know, Sean kind of put him behind velvet ropes last year.

42:58Dianna Russini:Oh, I was not allowed to go on the record with Bo last year. I'm aware. Patrick Smythe was all over me. No Bo, no Bo. Because he was young. I get it. I get it. But he's different. He can handle it now. you know we ranked court we did a lot of fun stuff that I'm gonna actually be Aaron on my podcast next week on Scoop City but he the other observation I made just before before I go I know I've been on here long it's all good you know we always whenever we we talk about Sean Payton we say coach right my biggest takeaway was you know you you see the Dan Campbell's the Mike Vrabels of the world out there they got the pads on they're dudes like they could probably take a couple reps and be fine after a nice after a nice bath or two um sean is sean is the ultimate teacher um i loved watching him with offense and defense he just goes up to the guys after every play and it doesn't matter which position it you know i think a lot of people assume sean's probably like sitting next to bow or the quarterback skies and just be in next he's he doesn't do that he's just in the ears of everybody and he's showing and and trying to improve technique and just having these conversations throughout practice um you know it's he's kind of tiring to watch actually what 662 which you know um so that that was that was my takeaway i know in social media that's not as fun to watch the clips of but that i think that's that's one it's one of the separators and and you you certainly see it and feel it there diana thanks for the time look for more

46:17Dianna Russini:i'll be back and i said to him i said i don't like the way i sound when i say i'll be back i He didn't quite understand the L thing, being German speaking. And he said, well, just say the way it says, I'll be back. And I said, well, I'd rather say, I will be back. Sounds more machine-like. And he says, a writer says, but I mean, are you the writer or am I the writer of the script? And he says, well, you're the writer. He says, well, then don't tell me how to write. He says, I don't tell you how to act. Because he says, let's just keep going like that. that says, let's do 10 takes of I'll Be Back.

46:57Dianna Russini:You pick the one that you like. And that's the one that we do. And that's the one that we keep in the movie. And that's exactly what we did. But the interesting thing about it was, no matter how much we argued about this, which we had daily kind of talks like that, it was a line that no one thought would be ever repeated again. Really? No, no, no one thought this is going to be one of those lines that people will repeat. And so when the movie came out, I remember I was in New York and a guy came up to me after the screening. He says, Oh, Arnold, Arnold, I'm a big fan of yours. I love your bodybuilding career.

47:34Dianna Russini:He says, Can you repeat the line, I'll be back? And I said, I'll be back. And he says, No, no, no, no. The way you say it in the movie. And then I said, I'll be back. He says, Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he ran off. I mean, like a crazy guy, right? And then it happened again and again and the next day again. And all of a sudden, And I said to myself, wow, this is kind of weird. So I called Jim Cameron. I said, I'll be back line. I said, I think he was so right. I said, because it wouldn't have been that cool if I would have said, I will be back. Right. And he said, I told him it will work. And he says, but it's going to be the most repeated line, I think, in history.

48:12Dianna Russini:And it has become really one of the most repeated lines.

48:16Rich Eisen:Yeah. And then just who knew that you were drilling down on what's the right thing to say, what's not. and that you were handling one of the most famous lines in the history of movies. Unbelievable. To the Governator, Terminator, happy 78th birthday. Nice. Arnold is 78. I'll be back. And again, only guy in the history of the Rich Eisen show who coming out to our set doesn't say, this is amazing, I'd love to hang here. He comes out, looks at the guest chair and says, I'm not sitting in that. That's a baby chair. He called it a baby chair. That's a baby chair. Walked over to Chris Brockman, took his chair.

48:58Rich Eisen:Didn't even come over to me. Just immediately came over, took the chair, and started wheeling it over. Right, and swapped it out. We were just like, what is happening? Because he said it was too low to the ground. He needed to be higher up for energy purposes. And I'm like, whatever you want, buddy. You can stand. Yeah, do whatever you want, sir. So. Thank you for letting me use your chair. It was really one of the best. Just go to youtube.com slash richeyesenshow for the full interview. It was surreal. It was surreal. It was surreal. Like, I've got, you can't see it. He autographed the Terminator movie poster that I look at every day, and I'm like, Arnold was right here.

49:31Rich Eisen:It was wild, man. Fun stuff. Again, youtube.com slash RichEyesandShow for all of that. 844-204-RICH is the number to dial. A bunch of people want to play the win-loss game. Guess what? We'll do it with you. Who's most quotable player in the National Football League? Most quotable player in the National Football League. Three, two, one, spit it out. I don't know. Okay. You want to go? Micah Parsons. Micah Parsons, pretty quotable. Definitely quotable. Quotable player in the league. You want to chime in here? I'll say Hurts. You win, sir. You don't think about it, but he is. He doesn't say much.

50:03Rich Eisen:He doesn't say much. But when he says stuff, it's like, where does this come from? I wasn't thinking about him at all. Where does it come from? We did a segment, I thought, on Game Day Morning, how to decide, who's saying it, Jalen Hurts or some philosopher? I forget. And it was a fun game. Zen philosopher. Seriously. By the way, you just know that because you know the soundbite's queued up. I can see it. Okay, here we go. I didn't know that. That's some swag. This guy. Dang it. I was trying to think of an actual answer. Here's the latest from Jalen Hurts. Hit it.

50:30Dianna Russini:Yeah, overall, I think fatigue makes cowards of us all. These last two days have been very challenging from a heat standpoint. So everybody collectively as a group just continues to push through those things. Control what you can. And I think this is a good test and a measure of where we are right now and where we desire to go.

50:52Rich Eisen:See, that's why it gets mixed up with the, you know, control what you can control and the other cliches. Fatigue makes cowards of us all. Maybe we should put that up in our studio. It's not bad. It's not bad. Not bad. Jalen Hurts, sneaky quotable. Best quotable in the NFL. Jay Kelly, sneaky cheater. Honestly, I need that. about it i need that i needed that in the middle of my american century championship run yes you did the number of times where you know hey first couple holes i am turning i am turning that hips going here that hips going there my upper back is just oh i'm making this turn firing and then you know after walking the course 12 holes later all of a sudden i'm out of fatigue made a coward of me to try and make that turn because that would that might be sore this could fatigue makes cowards of us all.

51:41Rich Eisen:Oh my God, it's broken. Okay, including... Well, that was just talent. He knew he wasn't good enough to compete with Judge Smales and Dr. Beeper. Dr. Beeper. Ty? Well, we're waiting. It all goes back to Caddyshack. It really does all devolve back to Bushwood Country Club. I should have said Mike Tomlin. He's the most cool. Oh, he's pretty damn portable. He said player. I know, he said player. Because I would have said Tomlin. I mean, Jerry Jones is the most quotable figure in the National Football League. I'm talking about most quotable player. Save your time. I mean, we've got more Tomlin and Jones drops than anybody else in our system.

52:27Rich Eisen:I got a whole column of those two. Outstanding. Play me your favorite Tomlin. Go. Run it. Hit it. I can't give you all the ingredients to the hot dog you might not like. That's right. That's a good one. Favorite Jones? Sure. We'll do the shut up and let me answer. Okay, very good. I'll use that one. We don't use that a lot. I'll get your damn act together. Maybe should we start building a Jalen Hurts archive? Because he's so insane. Well, they're actually mean stuff. Like Tomlin and Jerry Jones are just nonsense. That's not nonsense. I wouldn't say nonsense. No, it's not. It's just. He's talking about hot dogs.

53:00Rich Eisen:No, but he didn't work. He's not telling you the game plan. That's a great way to say I'm not telling you the game plan. I'm not telling you what we're thinking internally. Nonsense. We're not going to apologize for winning. Yeah. Stay by the phone. I might need you. Stay by the phone, man. I might need you. That's the one that I like. What was that in reference to again when he was on the show? Was he talking about you? He was just a random throwaway before he hung up. No, I said I can help or whatever. I was doing some sort of R.E.S. consulting. I think that's what I was doing. Tomlin can do bits.

53:32Rich Eisen:He's that savvy, man. He knows bits when he hears them. He's on with Pat right now. I'm probably dropping pearls like nonstop. Not like this one, though. Well, old Dr. Jones with my rubber glove is going to make sure every one of you are safe. We love it. You know, the one person who doesn't is Taylor Sheridan. He said in his opening press conference in Oxnard that he used the rubber glove line in his soliloquy to Jon Hamm, who we refer to as that guy. That guy. That guy over there. And they cut it out. They used their rubber glove on him. Sensational.
