#DallasCowboys LIVE Fish at 6 Report: CELEBRATING AMERICA’S TEAM on July 4

Sorry, Taylor Swift. You’re still America’s team. You you you Dallas Cowboy fans. I’m Mike Fischer, your trusty and trust reporter. This is the Fishbowl. Happy 4th of July. A top 10 list for you tonight. And I won’t take up too much of your time. So, get semi comfortable in your big silver and blue chair. What? We uh three generations of Fishers in the house tonight for the 4th of July. I got Nate and Tony over here. I got my father over there. So, I’m a little nervous putting on a live program. I’ve never done anything like before, like that before, except for, you know, 36 years worth. Get in, get on, be good. I want to hear from you on these 10 subjects. And uh tonight, because it’s Fourth of July, there’s this six bombs on the wall for those of you who embibe. Tonight, unlimited slappies. It’s a 4th of July. You’re an American. Uh it’s in the Constitution. You get to be an idiot. I think it’s uh the It might be the seventh amendment, something like that. I can’t remember. So, go for it. Be as idiotic as you want. And I’ll barely make fun of you. Item one. Once again, what a great opportunity on America’s 249th birthday to remind the world. America’s team is is a etched in cement nickname and it is not transferable. The team that wins a Super Bowl in a given year, they don’t get to be America’s team. The team that has the prettiest celebrity fan that year, they don’t get to be America’s team. Um uh what’s the nickname for the state of Pennsylvania? Tony,
what nickname of the What’s the nickname for the state of Pennsylvania?
Losers.
No, they’re not the losers. Well, it’s the Keystone State. I don’t know why.
So, what if I wanted Texas to be called the Keystone State? Can’t I just do that? No, the nickname is the nickname. Hey, um what if some other team wants to be called the Bronx Bombers instead of the Yankees? No, it’s the Yankees. It’s etched in cement. America’s team is the Cowboys. I don’t care how many tickets Taylor Swift sells or how many t-shirts, and she does, Chiefs fans now, I mean, they might be they might be second in terms of worldwide popularity. But even if the Cowboys aren’t first in worldwide popularity at a given moment, they’re still America’s team. The same way this the Lone Star State, Tony, you’re aware of that, right? The Lone Star. What if Arizona, Tony, said, “Well, we’re, you know, we got we got stars. We want to be the lone star state. It’s illegal. You’re America’s team. Earn it. Love it. Live up to it.” Item two on the top 10 fish for dinner tonight. Um Mike Florel, who’s a conspiracy theorist at proft talk.com, points out that uh that America’s no what what’s it called? America’s game that on the 4th of July every year they show the 1-hour special um of that year’s Super Bowl team. And so the 1995 team, Barry Switzer and all that, who got screwed by the way on our coaches Mount Rushmore. Sorry, coach. They’re not showing the 95 one. They’re not showing the John Gruden Buccaneers one. They don’t put that in the rotation because John Gruden got in trouble with his naughty emails. Why don’t they show the 95 Cowboy one? Cuz it’s kind of You want to know why? Cuz it’s kind of hosted by Rich Drimple. Who’s Rich Drimple, you might ask? Um he was the he was the PR director, communications director. He was the big cheese here and he got in a little bit of alleged trouble with uh with using his cell phone. Rich Del Rimple uh no longer part of things and it would seem like he’s the reason that they don’t they don’t put that on NFL Network anymore. However, item three, if you want to watch 1995 America’s team, it’s all over YouTube and I think if you go to like the mid uh mid show, it’s an hour long show, whatever. I think if you go right in the middle, I don’t care if Rich Dripple’s in it or not. What I care is that I’m in it. Uh, I’m in it. And it it shows me on air, on the radio. Um, I I look I look fat and I look dopey, but by God, it’s me. Fat and dopey. I’ve got gigantic uh Harry Kerry glasses. I look like a dumbass. I look like a slap dick. My comments are very insightful, but uh very much in 1995, Mike Fischer, a fish for radio. Thank God in the last 30 years, I’ve got infinitely more attractive. Next, the watch party. So, we’re doing this. You guys know this by now, right? We leaked it this morning. It was like a schedule leak. We’re going to be at the Maverick Bar on October 12th. That weekend might be all about fish heads, but October 12th at noon at the Maverick Bar, 1616 Hebrin in DFW, which is where, Tony? 16 minutes from anywhere. That’s correct.
Live music, the biggest TV in Texas, 32 television sets, the finest hamburgers in all the land, made to your specifications. So, there it is. Steve knows it. First annual fish head reunion. We’re calling it a reunion, even though we it’s not like we went to high school together, but kind of the weekend of October 12th, the Maverick Bar against the Panthers. Um, book it. And there’s already uh dozens of people are saying, “I’m coming in from here. I’m coming in from there.” So, people are flying in. People are getting hotels. Um, right up the road within between the Star and the Maverick Bar, which is like 6 minutes apart, there’s 30 hotels, 20 hotels. So, that one’s easy. Maverick Bar, fish head watching party, October 12th. Let’s get it done. Deal. Shake on. Deal. Item five. We said this morning with our offensive breakouts. These guys are breakout guys. And we we didn’t pick we didn’t pick guys that have a chance for superstardom really. I mean, George Pickkins breakout. I already know he’s going to be good. We picked two more subtle guys. The center BB and then Javvante Williams who everybody seems to be counting out but not me. Uh Kenneth Beasley $5 pitch in. Was Bob Ryan compensated for coming up with America’s team? Was that written for him or did he coin it? Yeah, Bob Ryan worked for NFL films, uh, just a guy. And he said, you know, this is 1972 [Music] and they’re doing their and they’re coming up with titles every year, you know, Cinderella team, next year’s champion, all and he comes up with America’s team and it stuck. Hopefully, he got a free t-shirt out of it. So, we did the two offensive breakout guys and I’m I I tried not to go down the same beaten path. By the way, happy 4th of July to those of you who embibe. That’s your sprite by the way, but it looks like something. And we did BB and Devonte. Here’s my defense. I’m interested to hear yours as well. Curt, you’re right. 1978. That’s correct. Kenneth Murray, his physical stuff at the scouting combine and since off the charts like Jack Sandborn, new inside linebacker, I think we know what he is. That’s a tryhard guy. Nothing wrong with that. Steve from Texas, give me Nean. Not bad. Here’s the thing about Nean. The other guys that we talk about at the other defensive end opposite Micah Parsons, they’re pass rush guys. Nean is the one guy, he’s thick. He thick. He’s the one guy that could emulate to some degree Tank Lawrence. So Nean’s not bad. I give you Kenneth Murray and I give you Sam. It’s time for Sam Williams. And here’s my faith in the idea. He’s going to be healthy. He absolutely has he he has real passion or skill. And here’s the other thing, and I didn’t check his age. Maybe you guys can tell me. What? He’s got to be 25 by now, right? It happens to almost all of us. At some point, you grow up. At some point, you quit driving 110 in a 55 mph zone. At some point, you figure out what the rules are on special teams. and you don’t violate him at some point. I think we’re at that point. Zo, how about Overshon? Has he really proven anything? Oversh I think he’s he’s so dynamic that he’s a more obvious choice, but we’re not going to see him for half a year. Let’s put Oversh. He’s going to get some votes for comeback player of the year if it works. But the breakout guy, he just he’s he’s like like American already because they’re America’s team in part. They know who Overshon is. America doesn’t know who Sam Williams is. They have no idea who Kenneth Murray is. Sanades, who’s been a member for the uh with the Uncle Fish Club for 33 months. Wouldn’t it be a great problem to have if we had enough good defensive ends that Micah could play more linebacker? What if on passing downs? Let’s just do it there. Let’s take Sam. It could be easy. Could be Sam Williams that you’re right that I could put Sam Williams at one end and Fowler at the other end and move Micah around on third and six. I win. I the Cowboys win. Item six. We wrote about this this afternoon at cowboyscountry.com. Nationally, there’s this view that the Cowboys just need to go get a quarterback. And you know what their view is? Not yet. They don’t. So now there’s a movement. It’s been Gilly. Now there’s a Hilton movement. And Mike Hilton, 31. Mike Hilton plays inside, plays the boundary, covers tight ends, covers wide receivers, plays the run, gets sacks. He’s a tackler. All that stuff. And so nationally, somebody wrote, “It’s a no-brainer. The Cabo should sign him.” It’s not that easy for three reasons. Reason number one, we’ve already told you what their policy is. They want to wait and see what they got. Reason number two, he’s used to making $6 million a year. You think the Cowboys right now are interested in adding a fifth quarterback making $6 million a year? I got news for you. They aren’t. And number three, the same story said he would fit really well into the 2025 Mike Zimmer system won. Once again, it’s impossible for the national media to know all the things about 32 teams. The national media regarding the Cowboys specifically doesn’t know as much about Dallas as Alan Wright, Steve from Texas, AD Big, Enrique, Steve, Kurt, etc. They can’t. You tell me, Gerald Beasley, you spend a lot of time thinking about the Patriots or the Seahawks. Of course you don’t. You’re here. You spend 24 hours a day here thinking about this. Can’t do it. Times 32. And it becomes embarrassing when people try to. AD Big, watch out for Tan Holden. But But where AD? Who’s he beat out? He’s got something to prove. I know. I know. He thinks that. Undrafted. He’s got the connection with the wide receiver coach. I got Lamb. I got Pickkins. Okay, that’s done. Cavante’s making the team, right? Show me where Show me where he slots in. Show me where the undrafted rookie who says I’m going to knock people’s heads off. Show me where he fits in. Um, Mingo is going to completely collapse. The le the the team doesn’t want that. The the the front office doesn’t want that. I don’t know. MP Micah with a $2 pitching in the super chat was best as a freelancer that very first year when they didn’t know that he was a pass rush phenom. They didn’t know it yet. And it was like he’s like, “I’m gonna play all 11 positions.” Remember that? And he almost did. I still think that he is he is a best used weapon. I agree with you. Best used weapon where the defense doesn’t know where he is. Enrique, is Milton the backup quarterback? He is today. Item seven, there’s a workout video and it shows uh Jay on Blue and he’s moving and shaking, which is what he does. And much is being made out of it. It’s a video going viral as we like to put it. But here’s the thing about it. Yeah, I forgot to mention Tolbert. Tolbert’s the number Tbert’s the third receiver. So you got Lamb, George, Tolbert, Cavante, Mango. There’s five. [Music] So here’s the workout video. This guy’s running in sand and this guy’s he’s pulling a goalpost or and this guy’s running up a hill and and we all get all excited about it. this guy’s lifting weights and this guy’s doing the box jump thing. It’s just workouts. I mean, it’s it’s what they they’re professional athletes. It’s what they do every day. I would be really disappointed right now if Jayvon if if uh if Jaden Blue, rookie running back, who’s got a chance to be maybe a starter here. I want to see the video where the guy isn’t working out, where he’s just on a boat drinking a margarita, smoking a cigar with a bunch of dancing girls around him and that’s all he does all day. We really, I guess, should be thankful that there’s not more videos because this is the most troubling time in football because you don’t have a coach telling you what time to get up and eat breakfast. What? Just be happy that there’s not a bunch of cowboy videos that involve like, you know, handcuffs, you know what I mean? So congratulations Jaydon Blue and everybody else. You’re working out. You’re lifting weights. You can squat. You can bench. You can jump. Hooray. Man, what a hilarious piece of work. Is this sport DFW? And by the way, I’m not trying to We’re all trying to make a living. But there’s a bunch of fan sites that are run, you know, for the fan, by the fan, whatever. The beauty of me is, not that I’m beautiful. The beauty of me is I’m not exactly a fan. I hate to let that cat out of the bag. That cat fish out of the bag. I didn’t grow up here. When I was in third grade, I didn’t want to be a cowboy or a cowboy cheerleader, whichever way you lean. I grew up in Minnesota. I I I I wanted to be my my my guys. You see them right there. I mean, sure, the triplets in Roger Starbucks, there’s value there, and sure, more triplets, and sure, Muhammad Ali, but there’s the purple people leaders, Alan Page and Fran Tarkin, Jim Marshall, and Carl. Those were my boyhood guys. Um, I knew my limitations. So, I didn’t try to I didn’t think I was going to be Alan Paige. I tried to be uh You remember this, Errol? You remember this, Dad? Me and Tom went down to the Jones Company because back in 19 whatever the year this is, 1970, this would been 72, right?
Yeah. 73. Yeah.
They didn’t The NFL didn’t produce jerseys. You remember this?
That’s right. It took the NFL 50 years to realize, “Oh, these dumb asses will buy. They’ll pay $300 for a jersey because it says Smith on the back.” So, we went down to the Jones Company and we got two white three quarter jerseys that had a little padding in the shoulders, me and Tom. And they didn’t even have purple numbers, you know, the iron on numbers. So, we got dark blue ironon numbers and pretended they were purple. And I and I was my goals were limited. I got 59 for Matt Blair. I knew I wasn’t Alan Paige. Could I possibly be Matt Blair? And Tom knew that he wasn’t frant target and he got Brent Mlanahan number 33. So we were realistic in our ridiculous goals and hired him on the back
and and put him on the back. The first time I ever saw a Viking like the stitch on Viking thing, I saw it in a store one time. I don’t know when I had a heart attack. It was like the real Viking face all sewn. There’s no such thing. Took him too long to figure it out, but here we are. Um, so I I I I’m all about the fan. I am a fan. I was a fan. I love fans. And if you’ve created a fan website that’s cowboy related, honestly, I support you. But, and we wrote about this at cowboyscountry.com today. One story out there is that a cowboy lineman is going to sabotage his team. What? And the story is about Chuma. And he’s moving to Jacksonville. They gave him a two-year $7 million contract. He’s a backup guard like he’s always been. He’s just a he’s just a Jag. And he was here for two years and he he did his job here. He’s just a Jag. And this website, the headline is former cowboy moves to new team will sabotage them. I guess the idea is that he sucks. And what we’re doing here, because this is slow time listical time, whether it’s the Big Journalist or the fan site, we’re so twiddling our dicks and just filling time that we’re making it sound like Chuma Idogo Chuma is that signing to be a backup guard at Jacksonville is going to ruin the franchise because he’s going to sabotage them. We’re We’re having a tough time bridging the gap. We’ve closed the gap between like innocuous and insanity. Chuma. I can’t even remember his last name. Chuma Idogo. Right. What is it? Chuma Idogo. Who the Cowboys, by the way, have always liked as a you backup utility lineman. That’s right, Steve. Twiddling your thumbs only not. It’s the first time I’ve ever said that on the air, but I say it a lot in my personal life. Item nine, the stories continue on. Trey Hendrickson, Tony, you’ve seen all these from the Bengals, right? He’s he’s mad. He wants 30 plus and the Bengals aren’t budging.
He ain’t going to get it.
He ain’t going to he at this rate, he’s not Idogga. Thank you, Steve. Chuma Idogga. And so here come the stories. Well, the Cowboys should trade for Trey Hendrickson. I just I just wanted I’m not going to spend a lot of time on I just want you to think about how you balance your budget. And that’s what the salary cap is. It’s a budget. They’re going to pay $40 million for one pass rush defensive end in Micah. and you want them to go pay another 30 or 40 to the you you can’t you can’t you can but you shouldn’t that is a bloated way to manage your salary cap to to give two guys who play the same position $40 million so let’s not do that Mike Scorpio what is the 12th again the 12th of never no it’s the 12th of October cowboy watching party fish special in Dallas at the Maverick Bar 1616 Heert. We’ll have all kinds of information on this. Uh Gerald Beasley, TJ Watt, same position and the same thing. Cowboys aren’t trading for TJ Watt. So, they have two guys who do this who play the same position making $40 million. They The Cowboys have the same dilemma coming up when it comes to what to do with George. I’m paying one receiver 34. what am I really going to do with the other one? And we’ll get to that when we get to that. And finally, item 10 with a reminder. If you’re in Dallas, Fort Worth, or anywhere around the world, and you have a gun, and in celebration of Fourth of July, you shoot your gun up in the air, which I guess is your Second Amendment right. I’m no constitutional expert.
It is. Would you please not be enough of a dumbass to forget that when you shoot a bullet up in the air, what happens to it, Tony?
It falls back down.
It comes back down, you dumbass. Just don’t do it in my neighborhood. Hey, we going outside to watch the fireworks. No. Not if people are going to shoot their guns in the air. George Pickins offered one word about what he’s bringing to the Cowboys. He did a thing with Dallas Cowboys.com and it was cool. one word and it’s the exact same thing that I bring to this program every morning breakfast at fishies at 8 every evening fish at 6 live even uh whether it’s TGI Friday or whether it’s a holiday or whether on vacation almost George what do you bring the cowboys swag join the club happy 4th of July fish out Ow!
Ow!
Ow!
