okay
so who's your uh favorite team
who do you think the Dallas Cowboys
the Dallas Cowgirls huh
yeah
well they did have a fairly decent year finally this year
um-hum
at least they're coming around
yeah they're going to get better
i mean you know
well i mean you know i think uh once Jimmy Johnson
gets his system established uh
they'll do all right
yeah as long as Troy Aikman doesn't get hurt again
that kind of killed them at the end of the season last year
um-hum
so i don't i don't even know who your favorite team is actually
i'm a Viking fan
okay i think i did know that
i just forgot
okay
and they haven't been doing too hot so
yeah has Herschel Walker done much for them
no
in fact
in fact the Cowboys got the best end of that deal
definitely well he was a good player i guess
i don't know he just never
i don't know for a while there he just
i've never been over impressed with him
well he could always get past you know he'd get past like six or seven tackles and just keep spinning around and get on into the end zone
but um i guess you never could really see him play because with the Cowboys while he was with the team the rest of the team was pretty poor so you couldn't really tell if it was just him or the team
and i always just assumed he was too good for the rest of the team but
i don't know
well who's the running back is it Sammy Smith or is it Emmitt Smith Emmitt Smith
Emmitt Smith yeah he's been doing real good
i'm pretty impressed with him so far did he did he actually play in the Pro Bowl i remember he was like a backup and then somebody got injured and he was supposed to go
yeah
i'm not sure
yeah i kind of i haven't been keeping up with football i mean in the fall i i can go on and on about football but since it's kind of off season it's kind of hard to think back about all that
but uh
uh who else is uh
uh there's you know Mike Lynn from the Minnesota Vikings he used to be the general manager starting the World Football League
yeah
some uh
and that and he was trying to keep uh
uh
uh i can't even think of the guy's name either the coach of the Vikings
um i have no idea
Burt Jerry Burns
no earthly idea
going to keep he was going to keep him as the coach somehow
but uh
i don't know i'd like to see the Vikings get revamped somehow
how did they end up this year did they did they make it to the play-offs at all
well they started out really bad they went like one and six and then they won five or six in a row
um
um-hum
so they were in a shot to make the play-offs and they screwed up the last couple of games
kind of like the Cowboys huh
yep
i guess you can
except i think the Cowboys are on the upswing i don't know about the Vikings
yeah
just hadn't heard much about them lately
and the Cardinals were kind of like the Cowboys in fact they were doing better than the Cowboys and the Cowboy Cowboys came on strong at the end of the season and the Cardinals
got killed by the Cowboys so
yeah
well the Cardinals i don't know i think the Cowboys probably have a a better team they just at the end of the season the kind of got messed up with Aikman getting hurt because uh Laufenberg just couldn't never really get it together
at all of course he sat along the sidelines all season he never really got in a game never did a whole lot
oh don't make any excuses for him
well
i'm just saying i shouldn't i shouldn't blast him like that say oh well Laufenberg got out there and blew it for them i mean
he didn't get to see much action but it's too bad
because now now you know he had a shot and and didn't look too good and so no one is going to have much faith in him any more
um-hum
in fact i think they're getting a different guy for a backup quarterback i haven't uh i haven't kept up with it lately but i remember reading something
a few months ago about them signing somebody else on or or trying to go after somebody or trade for somebody but it wasn't anybody i'd really heard of
but i heard on the radio this morning or yesterday morning that uh Aikman's back in practicing doing real real well um who is it Michael Irvin
uh-huh
he said that uh Aikman was hitting him right on the numbers every time so sounds like he's going to be all right for next season they're just trying not to overwork him right now until he gets his shoulder
uh back in shape it was his shoulder wasn't it that he had problems with
i don't know yeah think it was
i think it i think it was his shoulder he had surgery on but anyway they're trying to keep him
you know keep him uh from reinjuring anything but
anyway
but uh
well i got my uh thirty day notice yesterday
thirty day notice for what
um i'm done
where i work
oh really
so
anyway i guess we can't talk much more about that but i just thought i'd throw that in there
what oh okay maybe i'll call you back after after the recording is finished
actually i think we have talked about football for five minutes i i can't remember
oh we i've always ran out of time ever since i've done this
really i usually have too
they always say you've talked your ten minute limit
yeah i've done that once or twice
i didn't look at the clock when we started talking so i guess we should talk about football a little bit longer just to be sure we got five minutes in
make sure we get our cash flow
yeah
so other than the Vikings who do you like
um
actually when i was younger i was a Cardinal fan too remember Jim Hart
uh oh
Jim Hart was playing Terry Metcalf was on the Cardinals this was a long time ago
yeah
uh
i don't know who else i've ever
that's about it i was always a Viking fan i think i was into the Cardinals for a little bit
um-hum
back when they were in Saint Louis
and
and yeah oh of course
since they've been to Phoenix they haven't been uh
all that impressive i guess
i guess i've always been a Cowboy fan other than that i mean you know when i've you know when you grow up in a city that has the you know one of the greatest football teams until the last few years you kin d of tend to
yeah well the Cowboys were America's football team there's no question about that so
get caught up in it
yeah
yeah i mean it it was really exciting growing up when when the Cowboys were really big because my parents would always have season tickets and they'd go to all the games and
you know the hype were just unbelievable it's just you know the last oh i guess probably since about eighty four
about eighty five was when they started kind of going downhill really but you know i'm just used to always growing up and hearing Cowboys Cowboys Cowboys and you know Super Bowl and all this other stuff so
i can't you know i'm not going to decide i don't like them just because they're having a few bad years i mean i think they'll pull out of it and you know they'll they'll wind up being good again they've got some lot of really good young players that are going to
that are going to uh do pretty good i think
but they're raising prices on their tickets so they're banking on doing good next season
again what are they going up to thirty bucks or something
i think tickets are yeah
thirty or thirty two for really good tickets see they they sectioned it out even more they used to just have like uh first of all it was all one price and then they sectioned it out to end zone and then everything else
and now they're sectioning it off to like from the
from one twenty yard line to the other one just on the lower levels is the highest price
and then the next highest price is that same area but above it on the upper level and then like from the twenty to the ten yard line and then they're some sections kind of in the corner areas and then the cheapest of course is going to be the end the direct end zones
but um they have about four or five different prices now that they're structuring it with but obviously yeah they're all going up even more or less is what it's going to do
so now the tickets even got lower than the lowest one last year
um you know i'm not sure i'm not positive i didn't
i didn't really think about that i just remember trying to figure out where you could get that was real close to the good section but in the little bit cheaper
but not that i'll ever go i hadn't been to a Cowboys game last time last time i went to the Cowboys game was during that um NFL strike or the when they had the scab team teams in there and it was the uh Dallas and Washington Redskins game
and i went because my dad can usually get a hold of some free tickets because a lot of those doctors have season tickets and they um
if they're not going to use them they'll give them to somebody else so my dad i went with my dad to a game that one time but that wasn't a real you know it was it was the scab teams it was kind of
you know it was kind of different i guess and before that it's been quite a few years i've been wanting to go to a game i just never never have gotten around to it
so maybe this year
Texans cheap cheaper i guess
that's interesting i almost lost our electricity here
