00:00How funny was that?
00:16How much have you guys talked about these nuts in the locker room this week?
00:19You've set a record, I'm sure.
00:20No, I don't even know what you're referring to, but oh, I actually do know what you're
00:26referring to.
00:28I'm like, what are you talking about?
00:29No, we actually haven't talked about that at all, but yeah, that was, man, funny.
00:36You've never deez nutsed a reporter?
00:37I've never done that, but you know, man, these, you know, reporters get kind of bold sometimes,
00:44you know.
00:45I was going to ask you that, Eric, and I'm not, you don't have to say anything specific,
00:48but do you guys, do you get mad at reporters occasionally?
00:52Is it something that, you know, I mean, you're a pro's pro when you handle things with, I
00:56mean, you've been great with us, but do you get mad and just kind of keep it to yourself
01:00or, you know, how do you handle things like that?
01:03You know, honestly, it's just when it, when it, when we, when, when I get upset when they
01:09take the human aspect out of it, like, okay, you're, you're in our, you know, you're in
01:12our locker room, you know, and it's like, you know, this is, you know, this is something
01:16that we care to, we, we, we care about, you know, we, we, we work our butts off for.
01:22So it's like, obviously we have a ton invested into our, our body, you know, the way we feel
01:27that, you know, we're, we're, we're our families, you know what I mean?
01:29Like blood, sweat, and tears into this.
01:31So we're invested into it.
01:33And then when you, when you come to us and then you, you know, kind of take the human
01:37aspect out of that and you just kind of treat us like we're, we're either stupid or, you
01:42know you know, just blatantly kind of disrespect us.
01:46Like we, you know, we don't know, you know, what's going on.
01:50That's when it kind of like, you, you, you, you can get upset, you know, you have a human
01:54reaction, you know?
01:55So it's like, you know, just, you know, obviously they have, everybody has a job to do and you
02:00know, I'm not, I'm not sitting here saying that, you know, some days I'm not more irritable
02:04than others, but at the same time, like, you know, I try to treat everybody, you know,
02:08no matter who they are, no matter what position of power they are in, I try to treat everybody
02:12with respect, you know?
02:13And I hope that I get the same back.
02:15Do you find the media around the Cowboys to be overly critical and how would you kind
02:20of break down where, where the Cowboys are at right now, if you were to put your media
02:23cap on?
02:24I mean, media is just, it's just going to be what it is, what it is, you know?
02:28I feel like there's just, there's more of it, you know what I mean?
02:31I'm not going to sit here and say it's more critical than others, but you know, obviously
02:34I think it is.
02:37But you know, I mean, this is the job we do is that, you know, we, we know what we're
02:41getting ourselves into.
02:42We got to, you know, we know what we got to do this week and you know, if we, if we don't
02:47want to, you know, face bad, bad questions like that, we got to play better.
02:50So hey, let's do it.
