#DallasCowboys Fish at 6 LIVE Report: IS MICAH DONE? Anatomy of a #Cowboys Rumor

#DallasCowboys Fish at 6 LIVE Report: IS MICAH DONE? Anatomy of a #Cowboys Rumor

is Micah done like done in a good way uh this evening Fish at 6 I’m Mike Fischer your trusty and trusted reporter here inside the Fishbowl uh we’re going to take a minute this will not take us long so uh you don’t have to put your feet up on the on your Cowboys Blue Ottoman you can be at the edge of your seat anatomy of a rumor so this morning during breakfast at Fishies while we were doing the show live I got a text and it was kind of a heads up on uh Micah contract progress all right and and uh that’s good enough for me and it needs to be good enough for you because ultimately as we nash our teeth and ring our hands and get gray hair over the angst it’s going to happen it’s going to be fine michael Parsons is going to be a Dallas Cowboy for life certainly going to be a Dallas Cowboy for the next five years or whatever contractually um how much and how soon and how long and those things almost certainly get worked out boris you know this story 1990 the very first time that Jerry Jones Highat ever said publicly “Uh Mr m uh deadlines make deals was to me.” I was in his office it was Isaac Holt he’s got his agent on the phone he’s let letting me listen on the speakerphone i don’t know why because I’m just so charming jerry’s letting me listen to contract negotiations in the spring of 1990 with Isaac Holt there’s the six bongs on the wall a reminder to hit the like button and I tell you this story as a reminder you get stuff here at cowboyscountry.com and on the fish report that you cannot get anywhere else and they talk and they negotiate and they got sounds like a hell of a deal and Jerry ah okay and hangs up and I said “Mr jones,” that’s before everybody just thought they could just call him Jerry mr jones I said “It sounds like you got that deal done you got the years you got the what why don’t you just do the deal?” And this was whatever in May or something he goes he leans across his desk at Valley Ranch he goes “Mr matt deadlines make deals and that’s where it started and of course that thing has caught fire ever since as we all know and now you know where it came from so yes Boris and 75,000 fish heads in Cowboy Nation the real deadline we could do a training camp deadline july 30 July 21 is a deadline of sorts and then we could do as we did with Dak Prescott last year saturday night before the first game in this case Wednesday night before the first game in Philadelphia that could be it johnny Luxury when Jerry did Deadlines Make Deals was he eating a sausage McMuffin with a whole bunch of salt on it i don’t believe he was back then i don’t think he was eating very healthy and he had probably had a big probably had a big tumbler of uh Texas tea to go along with it so here comes this off season and this Dallas Cowboys semi crisis alan Wright Fish uh Marshall’s out of town and you seem very happy the drama is going to be over and then here comes this morning at 8:05 here comes a text about progress and some then somebody tells me go check out um Sheffy Adam Shfter and then somebody tells me go check out Bleacher Report so all these things smooshed together we know that some details are in place and oh by the way there’s a conspiracy theory that we’ll throw out here as well and I’ll let you wrestle with it dallas 21 let’s trade Dak for Biker Mayfield can’t dallas can’t capwise you virtually cannot do that but in a vacuum Baker Mayfield at 30 million or Dak Prescott at 60 million i know where you’re going i don’t blame you a lot of people think that’s just that we’re just a phone call away and so this morning came these hints that the phone call had happened vj Fish it’s time to retire that eight hat i know i’m trying to find a new uh Troy if you’re listening send me a new hat watching we know it’s going to be $40 million or more we know that Micah has told Jerry I I could do five years we know that the math adds up to $200 million thank you Dallas Morning News um we were the first show we were the first website by the way the first media outlet to report on the five years times the 40 and then of course everybody else said “I hear it’s 200 million.” Well you know yeah that’s that would be that would be five times that would be five times 40 yeah we’ve offered a cluedin prediction here five years $200 million but certainly $40 million a year plus and the price tag rising this will become almost certainly the richest ever non-quarterback contract in NFL history only quarterbacks will make make more because this will be up and over Miles Garrett that’s a I think that’s a sound prediction so here comes Thursday and here comes the update from ESPN’s Adam Shfter who per Bleacher report is suggesting that the two sides are quote making progress now wait one second that’s quite a mouthful and as I’ve said about ESPN many times when they do the stuff they do with with with with too often throwing PCs against the wall steven White wants Micah to sign a $36 million a year contract i don’t blame you for wanting that do you blame him for wanting more now it’s worth noting quote making progress was Bleacher Reports paraphrasing of the original Shfter take that so uh is there progress i can buy that is there a comfort level 100% there’s a comfort level um Joey you’re dragging the line on Parsons you said it will be a short bed i have no You’re going to have to speak English Joey i uh I’m I’m semi multilingual but I don’t understand what you’re talking about if you’re se telling me that I once reported that Micah Parsons would sign a short tomb deal you’re you’re mistaken delusional drunk or a liar because that never happened kurt S we’re going to get to your point about the above the fold aspect of this the problem with the bleach report paraphrasing is Shfter didn’t say that bob Bob says that what he means is you said it would happen any day and it will it will it’ll happen as soon as Jerry calls the agent or something something more monumental than the monumental thing that would already happen will happen steve from Texas Fish you said it could be a team friendly deal micah said it could be a team friendly deal yeah guys don’t don’t confuse and don’t complicate what Jerry says what Micah says and what Fish says micah Parson said at one time “I don’t need to be the highest player highest paid player that’s not important to me.” That’s what Micah said so I’m reporting to you what he said now I’m reporting to you a new wrinkle he’s going to be and I have a feeling that David the agent told Micah “Quit saying that why do you want 35 million when I can get you 40 barry Griffith our friend from Cowboy Experience I’m hearing his agent wants more money wants that the agent wants Micah to make more and then the agent makes more big T howdy Uncle Fish i enjoy your no bullsh there you go Steve fish you said that Micah said he might do a team friendly deal now we’re talking uh guys are hitting the like button ladies and gentlemen are hitting the like button tonight i appreciate that that helps the cause here’s what she actually said quote “Most people believe it’ll get done at some point here in the coming weeks.” Okay that’s not saying anything 75,000 of you know that 75,000 fish heads in Cowboy Nation know that it’ll get done at some point here in the coming weeks adam that’s not worth going on ESPN get up and announcing and it’s not worth bleach report massaging into something else so the anatomy of a rumor here and there’s some progress okay I’ll tell you what it doesn’t mean micah didn’t talk to Jerry again not about this that’s been two months real progress comes when the agent and ownership call each other somebody call somebody rick Evans you got it a lot of a lot of these reports are just for the attention shfter is just filling time honestly nothing against him this time by saying nothing against him they told him “We need you on Get Up we need to do a segment on Get up what do you got?” And he said “I guess I’ll talk about the Cowboys.” That’s not shocking nor is it offensive but Bleach Report took his very innocuous statement yeah you know it’ll get done sometime and made it and then put in the headline making progress when he never said that joey I hit the like button and someone brought me a diet coke all right I’m going to tell you another value ranch story because that reminds me i haven’t I have never told this one i haven’t even thought about it in the longest time completely true if you’re a longtime cowboy Dallas person you’ll appreciate this kenneth Easley with a $5 pitch in fish how much does the statement from Micah saying he doesn’t need the 40 affect the leverage in his deal that’s dead kenneth he did say that and I think the agent put a fork in that cuz if Micah wants to sign if Micah wanted to sign for $35 million Jerry would call the agent today and say “Hurry up i’m going to get you a conspiracy theory and I’m going to get you a Dale Hansen story as it as it relates to you hitting the like button and having a Diet Coke show up here’s the conspiracy theory that does go around here and a couple of you have mentioned it i think it’s done uh Big Mac sidebar points out a 5-year deal that would be that could be team friendly that’s a good point five-year deal which Micah has told the Cowboys he’s willing to do at 40 million that that might look pretty good in four years so that’s a good point ad what about Tyler Smith and Aubrey they’re still signed you mean are they under contract yes are they due an extension yes so they are signed they’re under contract and as we’ve talked about Tyler Smith needs to be a $21 million a year plus guy and Brandon Aubrey needs to be 6 million and away we go the contract’s done some people think it’s a conspiracy and I understand the the cynicism towards Jerry the idea that he would he would secretly have this thing done with Micah but then just keep letting it drag on for the publicity i guess I get that but here’s why it’s not true it could be done in Jerry’s mind jerry and Steven could know we we’re in good shape here that part’s true but just like the idea that the NFL is fixed could you imagine the thousands of people who would have to be in on the conspiracy secret thousands and thousands and thousands of people to keep a secret that by that that by doing that by fixing the NFL you make billions and if it’s ever found out the golden goose is dead that’s why there’s no NFL conspiracy really there’s theories but there’s no conspiracy that’s not my opinion that’s just logic now to the Dale Hansen story so at and again this is a looser freer day so this is an Uncle Fish story taking you back to the 90s at Valley Ranch as I’ve told you before we had free rain in a way that they just can’t do ever again did you know that not until gosh the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay whenever that was n uh 1991 you didn’t need a picture ID to be a media guy to go to the Super Bowl you just showed him you just you just you know told him I’m Mike Fischer you walked right in security in America changed right around that time the star in Fris here right across the street is buttoned up it’s almost as secure as the fishbowl in Marsha’s mansion but back in the day if I if if me and Richie Wit wanted to This sounds insane if we wanted to go play raetball we could go to Valley Ranch at 10:00 at night and play raetball and we could call Aman Nate Newton or some Aman hey and go play raetball with them it’s incredible it’s changed so we had access to the Cowboys players lunchroom during certain times obviously they had their privacy and one day we’re in there and it’s I think Jerry had gathered the media in there and he Jerry gave a speech and we all got a free lunch and it was great and then Dale Hansen friend of the show Dale Hansen’s a big man 6’4 and I guess back then maybe 6’4 I don’t know 300 350 now a little bigger and I don’t mean taller I love Dale so Dale Hansen is so big and also so uh so in love with and so obsessed with the sound of his own fantastic storytelling so Hansen is standing there and behind him is a big Coke kind of machine all kinds of soda pop in there and all you had to do again insane there’s no such thing like this in the world anymore some the Cleveland Browns even charged their players to get a drink but that then all you had to do just push the button and it would come out for free boom boom boom richie go get me two diet Cokes boom boom ch so Hansen was sitting there telling his story and he’s going “Well then Jerry told me this and then Jerry told me that and then Jerry and then Jerry told me that.” And unbeknownst to Dale as he’s swinging around his massive butt every time he swings his butt it’s hitting the Coke machine button and we’re watching Hansen and he’s putting on a show and we’re laughing our 20 of us laughing our asses off at Hansen and he thinks it’s because of his magnificent story we’re laughing because diet cokes are flying out of the machine getting stacked up on the floor around his legs and he’s unaware of it because he’s going and then I had this story and then I had that story and you won’t believe this story dale Hansen’s big butt giving everybody free Coca-Cas at Valley Ranch headquarters conspiracy theory kill it micah team friendly not in terms of APY but maybe in terms of years micah done deal no dale Hansen’s got a fat ass yes fish out
