00:00 interesting fact so far in this NFL season and that's the three most watched
00:04 Fox broadcasts include the New York Jets. Yes. Which has some saying wait a minute
00:10 are the Jets America's team? Tell me why these people are wrong. Okay first of all
00:15 and I've made this point for years and years and years it doesn't matter who it
00:21 doesn't matter if the Cowboys have a bad year America's team is a thing that
00:26 isn't attached to your record. One of my best examples is the Pittsburgh
00:31 Steelers right now I don't know if their defense is their defense isn't what it
00:35 was in the 70s they still get to be called the steel curtain you don't. Yeah.
00:41 The Buccaneers and the Ravens and the Patriots can't have a good pass rush and
00:45 say I guess now we're the steel curtain so the Jets are not America's team they
00:50 can be America's team of the month if if you think this is some sort of a
00:54 traveling trophy that everybody hands out every week like NFC offensive player
00:58 of the week fine the Jets are the AFC America's team team of the week but
01:04 Dallas Cowboys is like Bronx Bombers or Purple People Eaters or the steel
01:10 curtain it's it just is. What's the nickname for Texas? The Lone Star State. No I decided that New
01:18 Mexico now wants to be the Lone Star State because they have a star as well so why can't we be the
01:22 Lone Star State Arizona has a star on its flag doesn't it well I guess we're
01:26 the Arizona we're the Lone Star it's it doesn't it's not transferable it's owned
01:30 by this franchise for better or for worse it's not always for better we've
01:35 written about by the way at CowboysSI.com the history of how this came
01:38 about in 1978 NFL films and embraced by Tech Sram and then embraced times a
01:45 million by Jerry Jones there's some burden that comes with it but it is
01:51 yours Cowboy Nation and it cannot be taken away from you.
