00:00 There are four Cowboys that are finalists for NFL Honors Awards. You'll be there in Las Vegas.
00:07 What were some of your takeaways when you saw that list?
00:09 I think it's really weird that Dak Prescott is an MVP candidate, well-deserved.
00:15 He'll be a top five vote getter, obviously. Maybe more as he's one of the five finalists, as you say.
00:20 While at the same time, he might be the most bashed MVP candidate ever.
00:27 I'm trying to think of who else is on the list.
00:32 Some people might say, because Lamar Jackson is the favorite to win it,
00:36 there might be a movement, an anti-Lamar Jackson movement, I suppose.
00:40 He will have won two MVPs if he gets this done, but hasn't gotten it done in the playoffs.
00:46 So maybe the same level of criticism that's aimed at Dak might be aimed at Lamar Jackson.
00:51 But it never really is.
00:53 It never ends up being the same, does it? That's a good point.
00:56 I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's just.
01:00 But I think we can all accept now that it is part of being a part of life on America's team.
01:09 That is part and parcel with working in this building.
01:11 And then Daron Bland, earning Defensive Player of the Year finalist.
01:15 That was kind of cool to see as well.
01:17 I wonder if, kind of like with McCaffrey and Purdy, who are two MVP candidates with the 49ers,
01:22 I wonder if it's kind of like a student council when we were in high school and your friends split the votes.
01:30 So if you're a cowboy, not a cowboy homer necessarily as a voter,
01:36 but if you're somebody that has cowboy leanings as a voter.
01:39 Now you have two to pick from.
01:41 Right. So half of you might pick Bland and half of you might pick Micah,
01:45 and that would obviously X out those two guys.
01:49 But Daron Bland, in terms of being a playmaker corner, playmaking corner, here's the beauty of it.
01:54 It's not just individual accolades, which we've talked to him a little bit.
01:57 He's not really into that. It's not his vibe.
01:59 He didn't have the goal to end up being the guy who had the most pick sixes this season.
02:05 Let alone be a celebrity.
02:07 I don't think the Daron Bland podcast is coming to Air Buds any time.
02:12 I don't know. Maybe. We never know.
02:14 You never know.
02:15 But for instance, we're going to get a taste of it in Las Vegas.
02:18 Because I think Micah Parsons at NFL Honors, which he's been to every year, he's going to eat it up.
02:23 And we've seen him in the past.
02:25 He shows up and he's wearing a spectacular outfit, and then his little son is wearing the same outfit.
02:31 And a big gigantic lion gold chain. And that's good.
02:34 I don't think Daron Bland is going to show up with a fancy, outrageous...
02:39 We'll see.
02:40 You want to bet?
02:41 I think Daron Bland will be showing up looking like he deserves to be there.
02:45 I think Daron Bland will show up and he'll walk around like this, hoping nobody notices him, and be surprised when a lot of people do.
02:53 That's funny.
