#DallasCowboys Fish Report Live: Micah vs. Jerry Latest: OMINOUS and OUTRAGEOUS

One sentence from Jerry Jones and we go ominous and outrageous. I’m Mike Fischer, your trusty and trusted reporter on the Dallas Cowboys. Here on the Fish Report every morning, 8 a.m. Every evening, Fish at 6 and whenever else we damn please get in, get on, be good, bring something of sports intellect to the table, as I have tried to do for 36 years as your uh cowboy beat writer. And away we go. One thing about Jerry Jones’s speaking style, and we’ve had some fun with this over the years, a lot of fun with it. Uh uh Mr. M. Uh it’s between us girls now. Uh and I’m smiling when I say that. One thing about Jerry Jones’s speaking style and his critics, and he’s got plenty of them. In fact, maybe more than not more than ever, maybe more than he’s had since Jimmy quit and maybe more than he’s had since he bought the team. This might be crisis time number three. It’s not crisis time number one. Uh the the people that are saying that they sound like they’re like seven years old, but it’s in the top handful because of the actions of Jerry Jones. But as much as that because of the pretzel logic of Jerry Jones and the pretzeling statements from Jerry Jones, one thing about his speaking style, the critics don’t need to twist his words cuz he twists them all by himself. The latest example coming after the workout against the Rams on Tuesday in Oxnard is ominous and outrageous. Cowboys owner asked about if in the midst of this contract dispute with the team’s best player, maybe Micah Parsons asked if he’s confident that Michael will be on the field in week one against the Eagles. Jerry’s answer blunt. Uh, again, no. Absolutely none. What? Jar, are you confident? Do you have confidence that Micah is playing in week one? No. Ominous, and outrageous. Jerry added, softening the blow just a little bit. Uh, a big part of that is uh his decision. Okay, now I get that. I now you see what he’s trying to say. No, I’m not going to announce my confidence because it’s up to him. Okay, kind of get it. Uh, how would I know? I’m just saying no, but I’m urgent. Okay, so that’s item one. Outrageous and ominous. And then let me tag on to that. When Jerry says, “I’m urgent,” he basically said, “I’m always urgent. I’m in the urgency business.” Two responses to that two. So, so this is item one, tail, two responses. It’s like we’re doing a high school outline paper. Response number one, but you’re not urgent enough to have called the agent yet. Stephen and Jerry still haven’t spoken to the agent. That’s not urgent. And number two, uh, Mr. M, uh, I’m always urgent. It was exactly a year ago when CD Lamb got pissed cuz Jerry announced that there was no urgency about CD Lamb. Remember hypocrisy? You can call it that. Twisted. Yes, he’s twists his own words. Pretzel logic. That was the album, wasn’t it? Old-timers. Pretzel logic. Uh-uh. I’m always urgent. Uh, except when I’m not. Jerry’s announcement here comes on the heels of him saying that he had on the table an offer of almost 200 million guaranteed. Still haven’t confirmed that. Huffnuts, that’s right, Steelely Dan. Um, this position, by the way, uh uh uh no guarantee. I I don’t I don’t guarantee it. I don’t know it. Uh, I have no confidence that Micah is going to play in week one. Conflicts with what Shotti says. Uh, Tom Sanders, why can’t the agent call? Absolutely. And this is why now you’re playing a game of chicken. And that’s that’s Micah side’s fault, too. There’s no doubt about it. Two to tango and all that. I go back to a lesson that the late great Bob Ackles taught Stephven Jones 36 years ago. And this goes for you going to the used car dealer, too. The first guy to make the call loses. And that’s stuck with Steven for 36 years. Unfortunately, the agent apparently thinks the same thing. Ramuno, love your joke. Love 1053. fan. Appreciate you being here. Christopher D, Uncle Fish Premium. Hey, how do I get to Circle in the Star? Ask the fellas. They’ll show you how. I’m having flashbacks to EMTT circa 1993. And you should cuz Jerry has also referenced that in the last couple days. She and the other day he said, “Uh, I could get cute here on EMTT.” And then he got cute on EMTT about how hilarious that was that the Cowboys started the season 0 and two. And then players in the locker room had to almost revolt against the owner with Charles Haley famously throwing his helmet like a punch through a sheetrock wall. And then the next thing you know, EMTT gets what was at the time we called because EMTT’s agent told me to call it that, quarterback money. Next thing you know, Emma’s got quarterback money. We’re 0 and2. Is that what we’re waiting for here? Are you waiting to get demolished by the Eagles? And then you come to the realization, oh, you know, I guess we do need that guy, Ma Gray. It seems like the players are starting to revolt a little bit too. There certainly is a in the locker room a pro Micah movement. There’s no doubt about that. There is no pro-Jerry movement in the locker room. Immortal $2 pitch in the super chat. Ultimately, the Joneses lose money and clout. And I agree with you. This flies in the face of some people arguing that that Jerry’s making public relations money every day that this goes on. I I think that’s absolute You are not making you don’t make money by looking stupid. You don’t make money by having people move from being angsty to being apathetic. You don’t make money with apathetic fans. And you can get just as much PR if that’s what you care about. You get just as much PR from having a from having CD Lamb make a spectacular catch in a practice as you can from saying stupid, outrageous, ominous things. Um DK Metaf made a one-handed c looked like his feet were six feet off the ground in Pittsburgh the other day. Made a one-handed catch. Somebody took a photo of it. The photo’s gone super viral. It was a one-handed catch in practice. And the Steelers got however a whatever the number is, the Steelers got positive PR marketing money from it. Money. I bet you they sold some DK Metaf jerseys that day. You don’t need to make up controversy to sell jerseys. The logical take is being issued by the coach. We’re still planning on moving Micah around. still planning on putting him in all the spots we see him in our fronts. We’re going about our business every day. We focus on the moment. I’m not going to get into it a lot here, but I expect Michael Micah to be here. And Shotti saying here means there in Philly week one against the Super Bowl champion Eagles on Thursday, September 4th. And I expect the same thing in part because there’s really no gigantic benefit to a player sitting out for the year. Sit out for the game. I suppose you could sit out for the game, lose the game, and in theory that puts pressure on the owner, but Jerry is so uh heels dug in now on no pressure. Everything’s fine. I don’t care. I’m urgent, but I don’t care. I’m urgent, but I’m not urgent enough to talk to the agent. By the way, a lot of people reporting that Jerry hasn’t talked to Micah. He He understand this. Only 75,000 fish heads in Cabo Nation, I guess, are going to understand this. He can’t. By CBA law, Jerry and Stephen now cannot go directly to Micah because three months ago he instructed them, “Okay, yeah, this looks good, Jerry. Now, now you have to call my agent. Now, call my agent.” And by CBA law, that’s the end of the Cowboys Jones’s ability legally to talk contract with the player. Parson’s still with the team in Oxnard. He’s a hold in. That is a positive start. Shotti’s expectation is that he’ll be there in week one. Jerry’s expectation is a shrug of the shoulders, an ominous shrug and an outrageous shrug. Item two, Joe Milton uh did some good things in the workout yesterday against the Rams, including a 65 yard bomb to Jaylen Brooks. At some point in that workout, he banged his thumb on a helmet and Shotty pulls him out. How serious is it? Not. The biggest reason they pulled him out is let’s get this thing healthy for Saturday when that’s going to be a Joe Milton show. Cowboys at Rams Saturday night at Sofi in Los Angeles. Uh a a real chance now for Joe Milton to make an advancement. He earned the right to be the number two guy. He has. He’s he’s done all the right things. Yesterday was a good day, too. Now, let’s watch that thumb. Make sure he doesn’t have a bum thumb and then uh we’ll have some fun on Saturday night. Some of you are saying, “Ah, preseason pish posh.” I totally understand. Um, but I I think there are thousands and thousands thousands of us right here who are are going to watch Saturday night with a yellow legal pad. How’s he look? How’s he look? Literal or figurative. Yellow legal pad going through the who’s who. And of course, we’ll do a pregame show on Saturday night and um we’ll wrap it up afterwards here on the Fish Report at cowboyscountry.com. And then where I’m finding many of you, we almost have a thousand subscribers now and it’s been a week and a half at our Substack uh home. You can find us. You can see the link at the top of this chat and uh the link below as well. Item three, the running game was not good yesterday. the running backs. This is where it’s hard to separate. The running game was not good. Now, maybe Jared Verse being fairly unblockable when it comes to Nate Thomas who tried to uh play left tackle. And listen, that this is good for Nate Thomas. I mean, in a way, relatively good. Tyler Gayton not on crutches walking around. Maybe he’ll play in Philadelphia. We’ll see. If not, Lyall Collins is available. Austin Richards is available. They think Nate Thomas can win that job. Secondyear seventh round pick. Hadn’t played a lick in the NFL. He got a baptism by fire Tuesday trying to block verse. And maybe that was one of the reasons the Cowboys couldn’t run the football. But watch and see now. And Spiral, you’re I’m with you. The running game is not good. Haha. No spit. And we all know where this is going. And now it has my approval to go there. We got to trade for a running back. That didn’t make any sense Monday. Makes a little more sense. Now what the Cowboys need to do, coaching staff, scouting department, not and they’re doing this. Go look at all the video of what happened in that workout and how much of this was um Nate Thomas trying to learn what he’s doing at left tackle. How much of this was at left guard? Tyler Smith still nursing that knee tendonitis. So, he rotated in and out. Brock Hoffman played some left guard. And how much of this is, hey, we’re we’re shotty said, we’re vanilla. We’re not game planning. Now, my response, and you’ll see me write about this today if you go to our substhat when Shotty says, “Well, we didn’t game plan.” Of course, we didn’t. No, we we didn’t game plan. That’s why we look so vanilla. Nobody game plans for a practice. So, shotty, you don’t don’t I mean, I know you’re being authentic and I believe you, but I don’t want Cowboys Nation to think, well, if they would have game plan for the practice, nobody game plans for the practice. you game plan only a little bit for a preseason game even. But here now in the next few days, we’re going to get a chance to build on what we saw and didn’t see in the workout and we’re going get to watch it. Is it the offensive line trying to get it stuff together? Is it so vanilla that we shouldn’t expect too much? or are the running backs just not good enough? The Cowboys should trade for blank stories uh in the next five days, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. In the next five days, the Cowboys should trade for blank running back. They’re are coming. So, brace yourself. And after yesterday, that that idea, that storyline is not quite as stupid as it was 24 hours ago. Ominous and outrageous. We got you covered on Jerry versus Micah. Joe Milton’s one for the thumb. We got you covered there, too. And then are the running backs vanilla in a way that should push the Cowboys to try to fix that with a trade. Three items for you to kick around today on the breakfast at fishes menu. You can find all of this, of course, this information and much, much more at cowboyscountry.com and on our Substack where you find us at fishports cowboys. For now, fish out.
