A big topic topic today was Dallas Cowboy receiver Dez Bryant. He is apparently unhappy with being treated as a rookie by fellow receiver Roy Williams, who told him to carry his pads. Rome told us that Bryant said, "...I was drafted to play football, not carry someone's pads...no disrespect to anyone." Jim said, "AAAHHH!! (Jim's "manual" buzzer. Interestingly, Jim's website spells the buzzer "Eehhhhhh!)
Rome felt this was a bad move on Dez's part. He stated that the veterans are not asking Dez to do anything they haven't done themselves. He added that this isn't a Cowboy thing, but an NFL thing.
Jim's day at Del Mar
Rome told us how he was losing all day at the track...until the 7th race. A horse that he had heard of was listed at 24-1. He felt the horse was better than those odds, so he bet. The horse, Premiere Pegasus, went all the way to 44-1. Jim bet $100 on the horse...and it won!
An E mail came in (paraphrased): "Congrats on winning the 44-1. Let's celebrate. How about we celebrate by resetting the call about me. Signed, Larry." Mike in Chicago.
Haiku:
"Forty four to one
It's about time you won one
Give her Elway's oats" J. P. in Los Angeles
"War cougs leaving me alone"
Alvin's Mix
The classic mix of show sound bytes from over the years was played at the request of an E mailer.
In it we heard "foot away from my face" from the Larry Brown call. Also, Carl in Rosemead made an appearance. (I guess these two didn't get the full "Reggie Bush" treatment...they remain in "The Mix".)
Callers
Jeff in Gainesville
He got on and said "..pick up the pads, rook." He mentioned many of the famous Cowboy receivers over the years that did "carry the pads."
Mike in Louisville
Mike said he didn't know why Dez Bryant is "trippin'". He added that Dez would end up capitulating, and that the whole process takes place to show you that you're part of a team.
John in Detroit
John disagreed with the other callers. He said that Dez "had the stones" to say no.
(Jim said, "...You want to earn respect? Be one of the fellas...")
Jim Hotel room
Jim mentioned a hotel room he stayed at was the best he's ever stayed at. He said it had it's own office in it.
E mail on the subject:(paraphrased): "Rome. So you had an office in your room. What's an office? Signed, GED holders. War Steve Garvey resets."
Jim said, "Have you noticed it (GED smack) went from one knucklehead...and now it's spreading?
