  “I could see people in Green Bay, Wisconsin throwing cheese curds in the air. It's a celebration.”

• Hosts oscillate between poking fun, empathizing with fans, and speculating about both teams’ futures.

• Dallas fans reportedly “devastated,” while Packers Nation is on “cloud nine.”

3. Micah Parsons’ Own Words

• [04:47]—Isaac Lonecron, reading Parsons’ statement:

  “I never wanted this chapter to end, but not everything was in my control. Through it all, I never made any demands. I never asked for anything more than fairness [...] This is a sad day, but not a bitter one.”

• Discussion focuses on the power dynamics in modern contracts, the athlete’s agency, and the role of agents in contentious negotiations.

4. Trade Details and Fallout

• [06:29 & 16:29]—Isaac Lonecron:

  “The compensation is starting to trickle out: two first-round picks as well as three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark now going from the Packers to the Cowboys.”

• The crew discusses the “Herschel Walker” nature of the deal, referencing the legendary Cowboys trade that rebuilt Dallas in the early 90s.

• [09:00]—Rich:

  “These are the Cowboys. How do you lose? How do the Cowboys, when this guy has endless funds, lose to his rival, the Green Bay Packers? In what world does it happen?”

• [07:09]—Rich:

  “So much better. Absolutely. Contenders. I mean, they already were, so it just makes them that much better."

• [09:31]—Covino:

  “Vegas has Green Bay at nine and a half over-under win total, and they had the Lions at ten and a half. Wouldn't it be shocking if that trended upward over the next five, six hours?”

6. Legacy and Perception: Cowboys’ Reputation Hit

• [17:29]—Rich:

  “The story is, have they lost their star power? Is this no longer the place to be? Is this no longer America's team? [...] Wouldn't you sacrifice a few million dollars to remain a Cowboy where you've already proven success?”

• [18:38]—Covino:

  "Even the naked cowboy in Times Square is now the naked chief."

7. Micah Parsons’ PR & the Agent’s Role

• Rich and Covino compare the agent's effect in negotiations to “divorce lawyers making things sticky,” possibly creating irreparable rifts.

• [14:00]—Rich:

  “An agent's job isn’t to worry about anyone’s feelings, to get the highest amount possible for his client. So you can say, well, the agent did what the agent was supposed to do.”

8. Green Bay’s Future and Locker Room Energy

• Emphasis on Parsons as an elite disruptor—“game-changing,” “difference-maker,” and an instant morale boost for the Packers’ locker room and fanbase.

• [11:11]—Rich:

  “But the Cowboys lose that and yeah, you feel this sense of wow. What a move for the Packers. They're even more of a contender now. You see I was Sam dancing there on behalf of all packers fans. He's a cheese head. He's a cheese weenie.”

9. Cowboys’ Locker Room Reactions

• [26:55]—Isaac Lonecron:

  “If you're wondering how Cowboys players are reacting, Trayvon Diggs just posted on social media, simply a heartbreak emoji.”

• Disappointment and uncertainty cloud the Cowboys’ immediate future.

[Isaac Lonecron]

But.

[Covino]

Well, hold on one second. Let me crack in to a nice little coffee.

[Rich]

Yeah. And when I say but, there's a big but. I cannot lie because we have breaking news to start off the show.

[Covino]

Breaking news to start.

[Rich]

To start the show.

[Covino]

Well, hell.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Breaking news from Fox Sports. Multiple outlets have just reported that the Dallas Cowboys are trading star linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers.

[Buzz Knight]

Shut the front door.

[Isaac Lonecron]

And that Parsons and the packers have already agreed to a four year, 100, $188 million contract.

[Covino]

Oh, my God. I could see people in Green Bay, Wisconsin throwing cheese curds in the air. It's a celebration.

[Rich]

Well, how do you feel as Mayor McCheese?

[Covino]

I listen. Packers feel like they could win now and you're giving up a decent amount. Danny, I don't know what the deal is, but you and I were talking before the show that there were speculation. It's official now, but speculation was multiple first round picks, a second round pick, a fifth round pick. So damn.

[Buzz Knight]

My goodness. And of course, the rumors that have been out the past couple of days were that Jerry and his son declined the Green Bay offer, but it was too good for them to pass up.

[Covino]

Well, you know what I gotta say to that? Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom. Bom. Go, go.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Hey, guys.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Parsons has just issued a statement via social media. It reads, in part, I never wanted this chapter to end, but not everything was in my control. Through it all, I never made any demands. I never asked for anything more than fairness. I only asked that the person I trust negotiate my contract, be part of the process. This is a Sad day, but not a bitter one.

[Rich]

Wow.

[Covino]

I mean, thank God it wasn't. Guys, Micah Parsons said psych. No, it was. It's official. So he is going to the Packers.

[Rich]

I understand that agents have to be involved to negotiate these high level contracts, but the beginning, middle and end of the day, Micah Parsons has the biggest say on what happens. I'm sorry.

[Covino]

He's a grown ass man. Yeah, and I'm sure he's a grown ass man too.

[Rich]

I'm sure he likes a nice ass and this sweet paycheck he's getting.

[Covino]

But. But know what? This comes down to him deep down inside wanting a change too. I mean, he could say it's a sad day. I didn't necessarily want this. Dude. If you want to stay in Dallas, Jerry Jones pretty much made it clear that the offer was on the table. He was going to make him the most highly touted and paid wasn't a quote.

[Rich]

He could stick his offer up the wazoo. Isn't that what they said to Jerry Jones?

[Covino]

Way to not get beeped.

[Rich]

Wazoo, huh?

[Isaac Lonecron]

Yeah.

[Rich]

You like that?

[Covino]

Good one.

[Rich]

Grandparent word. I know. I didn't know what else to go with your wazoo. It's okay when Jerry Jones says it. Not what I say. But you know, interestingly, I want to thank Loinchron for the breaking news to start off the show.

[Covino]

Yeah, I mean, lone cron. I mean, he was texting Jerry Jones this morning, so.

[Isaac Lonecron]

And guys, I'm sure it'll come out in the next few moments, but there's no initial word on what the Cowboys are getting back. Not that it really even matters because the big part is Luka. Luka dodge. Freudian slip.

[Covino]

I mean, that was the last big one, right? I mean, your mind is on big trades.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Yeah. The compensation is secondary. Frankly. The bottom line is he's going.

[Covino]

We just going over your list of people that Dallas is crying about. Micah Parsons. Oh, not too soon. It was, you know, 60 years ago. All right, so Micah Parsons to the Cowboy to the Packers. So let me ask this question. Do the Vegas odds move at all in favor of the Green Bay Packers? Because you just added a top three defensive force in the National Football League and the packers are already considered a top five to 10 team in the league. So yeah, he's a game changer.

[Rich]

So much better. Absolutely. Contenders. I mean, they already were, so it just makes them that much better. This is big news, guys. Your thoughts. 87799 on Fox. As we let it simmer. As we let it process. I'm stoked.

[Buzz Knight]

I'm a Packer fan.

[Covino]

Jordan's gotta love this. Jordan, love the, the packers nation. All the little stockholders, the little shareholders are all pumping their fist right now. Green Bay, super cool town. By the way, does this again make you think that they now take a step ahead of perhaps the Lions? Or you still feel like the Lions are the team to beat in the NFC North? I know a lot of people feel like, much like last year, that's the toughest conference.

[Rich]

Makes it a lot closer to. That's the safest thing you could say there. But four year deal, $188 million, lots of jerseys being sold. You know, you got him for four more years. That's big for Green Bay, man. That's a big star out there in Green Bay. And yeah, like Danny G said, a game changer, a difference maker. And must have been a nerve wracking situation for Dallas. You know what's weird too, is if anyone's simultaneously watching the recently released America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys documentary on Netflix, it's just so weird to see the glory they had in the 90s and these crazy moves they were making in the 90s. And it seems like two steps forward, 10 steps back every year in recent years for Jerry Jones, like, you lose your big star to the Packers. These are the Cowboys. How do you lose? How do the Cowboys, when this guy has endless funds, lose to his rival, the Green Bay Packers? In what world does it happen? That's like the Yankees losing Soto to the Mets. It's like, that doesn't happen. You're Jerry Jones.

[Covino]

I don't think anyone.

[Rich]

You're the same guy that stole Deion Sanders from the 49ers. You're the same guy that, you know, had this crazy plan to dish Herschel Walker and make things happen for your team. You're the big spender. How do you lose your guy? Where did it go wrong? No, like, that's a problem, dude. That's a problem.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Settle down just a little bit.

[Rich]

Settle down. Like I said, if you're watching that special or that series, I should say now, it's like, what a fall from grace. The contrast is so evident, no one.

[Covino]

In Wisconsin would care at all in this very moment that the brewers almost just won in the bottom of the ninth and but they fell short. It is. It is Packer time. And I looked it up. Vegas has Green Bay at nine and a half over under win total, and they had the Lions at ten and a half. Wouldn't it be shocking to me if that trended upward over the next five, six hours before, I'm sure they'll give him another game. Yeah, I really do think you're looking at probably ten and a half now because the packers were a team that you thought they're postseason team. But do they go 10 and 7? Do they go 11 and 6? Do they go 9 and 8? It's very tough in that division. Now Micah Parsons, like Danny G said, he's not just a great defensive player. He's a game changing player and 26 years old.

[Rich]

This takes him to 30, 31.

[Covino]

And I'm not, I'm all in favor. I'm. I'm not one of those people that worry about future picks and prospects because you got to hope those pan out. Guess who was already panned out? Micah Parsons. It to me, it's not like you're giving up the world for RG3 hoping he's the quarterback you want him to be. That's, that's risky when you give up the farm, as they say, for a first round pick where it's like, oh, we got to get this quarterback. That may not work out. But it would be hard to argue that Michael Parsons won't work out. What would you know what would be so drastically different? He's going to be an impact player from the minute he takes a snap on defense.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Yeah.

[Buzz Knight]

With the Cowboys, rich 52 and a half sacks, 63 tackles for losses. He's always in the backfield. It seems like he's a disruptor. That's the best way to talk about him.

[Rich]

And the Green Bay packers could use that. But the Cowboys lose that and yeah, you feel this sense of wow. What a move for the Packers. They're even more of a contender now. You see I was Sam dancing there on behalf of all packers fans. He's a cheese head. He's a cheese weenie.

[Covino]

The odds for the packers to make.

[Rich]

This is a sad day for Cowboys fans.

[Covino]

The packers odds before this went down to make the postseason -165 meaning the general sentiment was division or wild card. The packers were a top seven team in the nfc. It seemed like you, you would assume the packers would find their way to the postseason just based on good coaching. Jordan Love. They have a good team already. But now you had Micah Parsons. I do think it makes the NFC north even more awesome. You know who does not like this news?

[Rich]

Caleb Williams, Jared Goff, Anyone on the Cowboys, J.J. mcCarthy.

[Covino]

J.J. mcCarthy is like why?

[Isaac Lonecron]

Why?

[Rich]

You know what I'm thinking of? Too rich and I have to quote you. You said this as these rumors started to swirl about a week ago. It was like two weeks ago. We were talking Micah Parsons or whatever, and what's going on there. You were saying, sometimes the lawyer, the middleman, makes things sticky in divorces. You know, the husband and wife would have probably worked something through amicably, but then the lawyer starts feeding things to the woman or to the man, like, yeah, that's right. I deserve more.

[Covino]

Happen to one of my wife's feelings. Happened to one of my wife's best friends in New York.

[Rich]

But I feel like that's what made this situation sticky. And it was coming back after. I think it was the middleman, meaning the agent here. If Micah Parsons is speaking some truth in his statement, I'm sure he's happy with the payday, but I'm sure there's a part of him that wanted to stay, and that agent made it sticky for him, and there was no going back after that.

[Buzz Knight]

Jerry Jones straight up said, I'm not talking to your agent.

[Covino]

Yeah, I mean, listen, my. My wife has a friend in New York, that great dude. Him and his ex wife seem amicable enough. And he's like, yeah, we'll split the kids and 50. 50. And, you know, she could keep the.

[Rich]

House, but, you know, you start hearing from experience. But you're entitled to this. No, no, no, no. You're not doing anything wrong. You're entitled. Entitled, entitled. And people are like, that's right. Well, I'm not doing anything wrong if I'm entitled.

[Covino]

He thought everything was set with him and his ex wife, and then she came back like, yeah, change of plans. My lawyer said I could get blank, blank and blank, and.

[Rich]

And it's just standard. I'm entitled.

[Covino]

I mean, I know this was a sensitive topic here on the network, but remember all the rumblings of the Freddie Freeman with Atlanta and the Dodgers, Right. Remember there was the rumors true or not, whether or not his agent misled him about what the Braves vs. The Dodgers had on the table.

[Rich]

So Freeman said that's how it went down.

[Covino]

And the reality was, yeah, he won a World Series with the Dodgers and all as well, but it all worked out.

[Rich]

But he wanted to remain a Brave. That might very well be true here, even though he's getting paid. And you can also look at it this way. An agent job, an agent's job isn't to worry about anyone's feelings, to get the highest amount possible for his client. So you can say, well, the agent did what the agent was supposed to do.

[Covino]

Let me tell you again.

[Rich]

Four years, $188 million.

[Covino]

I've seen it like you said, with divorce attorneys, with agents. It's also a really fun way for someone to hide behind something.

[Rich]

True. That's why we don't know. Let it develop.

[Covino]

Still, Michael Parsons could very well. Deep, deep down inside.

[Rich]

Yeah, he'd be happy down inside.

[Covino]

Deep down inside. Micah Parsons to be. Holy hell. Thank God I'm out of here. This Cowboys team is going nowhere in the next couple of years. I don't want to waste my prime. Green Bay's wedded, ready to win. I'm okay. Going to Green Bay, small market team. What the heck? Sure, let's do it. But if he publicly says it's a business deal. Hey, Cowboys fans, you'll always have a place in my heart. He looks like the good guy. And then very quickly, he'll embrace the new fan base. And who comes out smelling like roses? Micah Parsons. And you know who looks like a putz? Jerry Jones. And you'll always say, oh, he blew it or something.

[Rich]

Yeah, that's. That's the vibe I'm getting. Based on how this went down, here's a great thought. Still processing, still getting details, but that's exactly what I'm getting out of this.

[Covino]

You know me, Rich Davis, best coach on Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich]

Man, you keep leaning into that. When you get punched in the nose, don't come looking at me for help.

[Covino]

If anyone takes that serious, they deserve a punch in the nose.

[Rich]

That's true.

[Covino]

But I'll give you the analogy. When you have parents that request like, oh, I want to be on. I want my kid to be on Coach Rich's team, say, you don't want that kid on your team. You could always be like, oh, it's a draft and some other coach snagged you. Oh, my God, I would have loved to coach you.

[Rich]

You could.

[Covino]

There's ways to make yourself look okay. And I think that Micah Parsons. How does he look bad here? Hey, Dallas Cowboy fans, I loved you, but, hey, it just didn't work out. I'm so sorry. What a blessed time of my life. And then he turns the next page. Hey, packers, let's win one.

[Rich]

Yeah. But that's why I started this conversation by saying he ultimately has the final say.

[Covino]

Yeah, no doubt.

[Rich]

No. No question about it. So he could say all he wants just to make it look right. He didn't have to take the deal if he didn't want to.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Isaac Lonecron]

And, guys, this just in. The compensation is starting to Trickle out the compensation, two first round picks as well as three time Pro bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark. Now going from the packers to the cow.

[Covino]

Okay, if I'm Kenny Clark, maybe Jerry.

[Rich]

Jones is pulling a Herschel Walker movies, getting sweet draft picks in return. If I'm setting up for the future.

[Covino]

If I'm Kenny Clark, fast forward a few years, I'm going to tell everyone I was traded straight up for Micah Parsons. Just make the story better. Yeah. Yo, Clark, back in your playing days back in the 2000s. Yeah, I was traded for Parsons. Yep.

[Buzz Knight]

I'm with Covino. If I'm a Cowboys fan, I'm just disgusted. This would be like my favorite team, the Raiders trading Max Crosby away. Parsons, the one of the reasons he's one of the best lineb is because he can dominate on the outside and the inside. He rushes from the edge. So he not only is a great run stopper and stuffer, but also gets to the quarterback. He's all over that field. So those are the guys that make.

[Rich]

Your defense go and that's the real story here. The story is, have they lost their star power? Is this no longer the place to be? Is this no longer America's team? Ironically, as this series is on Netflix, they once were America's team. You don't want to be a Cowboy. You don't believe in this team. Wouldn't you sacrifice a few million dollars to maintain a Cowboy where you've already proven success? People already love you. There's some sort of greatness that comes with that uniform. No. Or at least there used to be. Like, how do you lose this opportunity? How do you leave the Cowboys in this moment?

[Isaac Lonecron]

Guys, does this week actually signify that the Cowboys have transitioned to the Kansas City Chiefs as America's team with Parsons being traded and Travis Kelsey getting engaged in the same week?

[Rich]

Yeah, they're no longer, I don't know, like something's going on. And the timing's suspect too because Jerry Jones is so old, he's 182 years old. It looks over. If you're a Cowboys fan, you got. See we're, we're speaking on behalf of the excitement of the Green Bay fans. If you're a Cowboys fan right now, you are disheartened. Like you're already thinking, where's this team going?

[Covino]

Even when your team, you know you lost your guy, even when your team is going through a year or so where you're like, I'm not sure if we're postseason bound, you still have that star player to root for now, you just got rid of that guy. But to back up your point, Isaac, even the naked cowboy in Times Square is now the naked chief.

[Rich]

I don't know if the naked chief man.

[Covino]

Nice to transition time, guys. I don't know what to tell you.

[Rich]

Yeah, it's very similar to how again as a Yankees fan I felt losing Soto. It's like, wait, how do you lose Soto? You're the Yankees.

[Covino]

That doesn't matter as much.

[Rich]

It doesn't matter as much anymore. You lost major market Cowboys, Jerry Jones, America's team to the Green Bay Packers. That's just how it is.

[Covino]

Can I ask you a question?

[Rich]

Yep.

[Covino]

Let's talk about perception because that's like to me, such a thing that could be played. You could play with the emotions of fans and people. And I think a lot of times players don't realize the power they have and how they present. If you're Micah Parsons, what's your first press conference like with the Green Bay Packers?

[Rich]

It's got to be one of, of excitement, known, shock.

[Covino]

You, you bring up.

[Rich]

What do you mean?

[Covino]

I'm saying you bring, I think if you're Micah Parsons, you go there and say you, you, you, you may even quote Vince Lombardi. You talk about how you won one with Favre, you know, Bart Starr, Super Bowl 1.

[Rich]

Oh, what did, what did Lombardi say? Oh, he said here's the swimming with bow legged women.

[Covino]

Never said that.

[Rich]

Yeah, he did.

[Covino]

Guy in Jaws.

[Rich]

Oh, that's right, Quint. I was, I was confused because the 50th anniversary.

[Covino]

No, but I'm saying if you're, if you're Micah Parsons, I think you lean into the, the, the historical legacy of the packers like Super Bowl 1. And you know, it's been a while since Favre and then Aaron Rodgers. Like I'm bringing in next generation with Jordan Love on the other side of the ball. I think a lot of times players don't realize the impact it would have if they just said a couple right things. Really cool things. I'm going to bring back to my Mets just for a second because I.

[Rich]

Have to go ahead, man.

[Covino]

Nolan McClain is three. And oh for the Mets now this young rookie first.

[Rich]

Isn't it the first rookie to do that for the Mets.

[Covino]

First rookie ever to start with his first three starts. Three no ERA, 0.8. He's looking good, man on his ball. He has the most spin of anyone in major league Baseball. His ball moves in a ridiculous way. After the game, his post game, all I thought was, come on here's your chance, kid. And he's like, it's. I appreciate the opportunity. Gonna thank you if he said, I'm living out my dream. What a great fan base here in Queens. Let's go Mets. Everyone would have erupted. True players sometimes don't embrace these opportunities.

[Rich]

Power they have. That's why the impact they could make.

[Covino]

Bonehead Pete Alonzo was like, lfmg lfgm.

[Rich]

You know, well, let's see it. Is that today? Is that going to go down today? Isaac, any update on that? Are we going to hear from our.

[Covino]

Imagine maybe tomorrow, the next day. We got a week until the NFL kickoff, so.

[Rich]

Yeah, you're right. Probably.

[Covino]

Hold on.

[Rich]

It's 5:20 on the east coast, so probably tomorrow. But a sad day in Mudville, AKA Dallas, Texas, because the Cowboys just lost their biggest star. Pun intended. Yeah.

[Buzz Knight]

Micah posted a video of his highlights while with Dallas and he wrote, thank you, Dallas. Go pack, go with a cheese emoji.

[Covino]

Did he put a. Y' all go to miss this. You're going to want this back.

[Rich]

As we explore because we don't know the inner workings of everything, obviously. You know, we've often come to the conclusion here that to make ultimate change, you have to cut the head of the snake. We always say, the Red Sox got rid of no more to make that change. Like no more. That's the main guy. But that's how they built their future. Jerry Jones did it before, as I said, for the third time with Herschel Walker. Maybe they had to get rid of their main guy, I don't know, to really shake it up. I'm just trying to think positive because to me it looks so bad for the Cowboys.

[Buzz Knight]

You know, where you guys used to work, some of your coworkers are losing their you know what minds.

[Rich]

Oh yeah.

[Buzz Knight]

That's going to be how many days in a row of coverage there with 80 reporters on this. But your boy Mike Greenberg wrote, there is no way to describe this other than organizational malpractice.

[Rich]

I mean, it feels that way. Yeah.

[Buzz Knight]

I've defended Jerry through a lot of manufactured drama, but this is indefensible.

[Rich]

But you know what? He gets a lot of criticism for being the gm. Right. You can't be the owner and the GM like you need a gm. He's been doing it a long ass time now. So to act like he's so inept and clueless how it works. I know he's getting old, but I mean, he's been doing it a long time.

[Covino]

You know what? This does put a Lot of emphasis on now. I mean, we are one week away from NFL kickoff. You know, now a less potent Cowboys team playing the Eagles. NFL Kickoff. But next week, next Sunday, Lions at the Packers. Now, you start the season with arguably two of the three, four best teams in the nfc.

[Rich]

Yeah, that's Must watch.

[Covino]

Lions at Packers. The debut of Micah Parsons on the defensive side. He's going to play week one, right? I can't. Isaac. I can't imagine them not. He's probably been practicing, training on his own. Right. I mean, I can't imagine Micah Parson not playing week one.

[Isaac Lonecron]

I was just thinking that his back injury is about to have just a miraculous, miraculous recovery.

[Covino]

That's right. That's right.

[Rich]

Wasn't it just tightness? It was just kind of tightness, right?

[Isaac Lonecron]

Yes.

[Covino]

Oh, that tightness is now loose.

[Rich]

Yeah, he's feeling real loose after $180 million.

[Covino]

Yeah, maybe it's just.

[Rich]

By the way, what's that, a year? Do the quick math, rich.188. 47. 47 million.

[Covino]

Isaac, you should have let this guy do division.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Oh, sorry.

[Rich]

I was about to bust out the calculator. I was about to use the calculator for that. Hey, man, he's getting paid. You know, and don't give me those crocodile tears. The more I think about it.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Come on.

[Rich]

I know there must be an inner conflict of, yeah, I feel bad to leave, but you're really excited about that money in for something new, even if.

[Covino]

You are part of a legacy and a franchise like the Cowboys. Right. That's. It's. It's wild to think that because of the history of the Dallas Cowboys, it's crazy to think how long they haven't been in the NFC Championship Game, how long they really have. Even when they have had good records, the 12 and four years, you know, a little while back, they just couldn't really get past the first or second round. And it's. Dude, this is good for both sides. The. The. The Cowboys. Cowboys needed to do something to shake it up, I guess, right?

[Rich]

I mean, it's good for football. Again, like I said, what's ironic about it is the contrast. If you're watching the America's Team docu series on Netflix as we speak, because Jerry Jones's pockets were so deep, if he wanted Deion Sanders, he got Deion Sanders. He had Michael Irvin, he had Emma Smith, he had Troy Aikman. He had every star he wanted because he could. And that just doesn't matter in today's game. It doesn't Matter. It's not going to keep you as a cowboy. Packers scooped them right up.

[Covino]

Man, that's a lot of money, huh?

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

188.

[Rich]

He can't 120 guarantee that magic happened the way the Cowboys can't the way they used to.

[Covino]

Is he going to keep the one dude? Is he going to look as intimidating in green?

[Rich]

Oh, by the way, if I was Dak Prescott, too, I'd feel like such ass.

[Covino]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich]

You know, it's like, man, your. Your road to victory and your legacy just got even harder to, I don't know, to maintain or to get at.

[Covino]

Remember we went over that list of.

[Rich]

Quarterbacks because if that was ever to win, he'd have a solid resume.

[Covino]

Remember we went over the list of quarterbacks that everyone thought at one point might win one. Cross Dak off the list.

[Rich]

Yeah, cross it off the list.

[Covino]

I mean, not that I. Not that he was high on my list, but remember we said there's, you know, Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Josh. There was a list of, you know, Trevor Lawrence, Brock Purdy, Jared Goff. We said there's all these quarterbacks that haven't won a Super bowl who will cross Dakoff because unless something drastic happens, he. He is locked into a mediocre team for a little while now.

[Isaac Lonecron]

And along those lines, guys, if you're wondering how Cowboys players are reacting, Trayvon Diggs just posted on social media, simply a heartbreak emoji.

[Rich]

Oh, hell, yeah. Somber locker room for sure. Like you just lost your main dude. That sucks. Green Bay, super pumped. Congratulations. You got a superstar. And yeah, that week one just got that much more exciting if and when his back stiffness goes away.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

So your thoughts, you know, it's processing for everybody, but your thoughts.

[Covino]

Get him and get a massage. Just don't take recommendations from Deshaun Watson.

[Rich]

Yeah, don't do that.

The Taking a Walk podcast. And join me for an upcoming episode with Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Guy, talking about his new Frank Sinatra music project.

[Buzz Knight]

Anyone who loves music would salivate over something like this. The the biggest question for us was, what's in these boxes? There were a few unplayed gems that we had been alerted to by Charlie Pinon of Sinatra Enterprises. So we knew that certain songs like Shadow of your Smile, which actually is not on this record, it'll be on the next one. Seth McFarland, Don Rickles went up to Frank Sinatra and he said, listen, I'm going to be having dinner with this lovely woman tonight. You know, would you come over and say hi? And just so you know, because I feel like if she sees that I know you is going to make me look really cool. And, you know, I might have a good night. During the middle of dinner, Frank walks over and says, don, hi, how are you? And Don goes, frank Please, I'm in the middle of dinner.

[Buzz Knight]

But it's also not the end of your life.

[Dr. Leah Trittate]

That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Lea Trittate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week, I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance, and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the Unwanted Sorority. New episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Rich]

The touchdown song, huh?

[Covino]

I mean, if you're a Packers fan right now, as you listen to Fox Sports Radio, Kavino and Richard, you gotta be pretty stoked, like, already. I'll say you were considered a contender. I mean, Jordan Love coming into his own a couple years into the league now, Josh Jacobs made a transition from Danny your Raiders to the packers, and that's been smooth, you know, and now you just added one of the biggest defensive pieces in the National Football League. Like, you gotta be on cloud nine. Like I said, it's. It's raining cheese curds.

[Rich]

If you just joined us, we're having.

[Covino]

Fun times in Green Bay.

[Rich]

Covino and Rich. Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio at Covino and Rich At Fox Sports Radio, Isaac Loewencron had the breaking news that Micah Parsons was traded to the Green Bay Packers. But you're bringing the excitement into this. On the flip side, I'm not one to laugh at Cowboys fans. I've never been that guy. To me, they were America's team. We're 80s 90s kids, right? You have to realize how crappy not only the team must feel and all the little heartbreak emojis, but how disappointed the fans feel today knowing that it's over before it even started. I'm sorry this season's over for them. At least it feels that way right now.

[Covino]

I mean, right now the reality is.

[Rich]

Think of how excited you are for football, right? You just stomped all over that for Cowboys fans because deep down they're like, oh, they're going to work it out. He's not going to be the Cowboys. Jerry Jones got this.

[Covino]

All the B roll they always show, like, sad Cowboys fans and videos on TikTok and Instagram of cowboy fans, like, breaking their TVs. I think it's. It's gone from like, haha to it's not even sad and it's not even funny anymore. It's more sad. Like, do you think Stephen A. Smith's shtick will work now?

[Rich]

That excitement that everybody has for the season was punching Rob.

[Covino]

Today, it's punching down. Making fun of the Cowboys now is punching down man.

[Rich]

Les Miserables. So. So your thoughts 87799 on Fox. We just gave you 40 minutes of ours as we processed it together here on Fox Sports Radio. And because we spent so much time talking Micah Parsons. That's the biggest story going. I could tell you what's coming up on over promised at 4pm today. That's our bonus pod on the new YouTube page, Covino Enrich FSR. So please subscribe free. Covino Enrich FSR. We're streaming live. We'll be talking politics and sports. There's a Mark Teixeira story.

[Covino]

Politics and sports. Yeah, we're not talking politics. More. More of the idea of, like, sports bleeding into politics.

[Rich]

Gross things that we do in sports and sports in the bedroom. What does that mean? Find out.

[Covino]

I think it's better that I talk about this not on the radio.

[Rich]

Exactly. Find out. Episode 106 starts at 4pm on the YouTube page. So chat with us live. Join us live.

[Covino]

I got to give credit to Sagar and his beautiful eyes.

[Rich]

He's got beautiful eyes. Dreamy, dreamy, dreamy eyes.

[Covino]

Saga video.

[Rich]

I call him dreamy.

[Covino]

I saw Dream about Sagar.

[Rich]

Yeah, you call him dream, I call him dreamy.

[Covino]

I Sagar. During the break, he goes. You could already feel the narrative building. What if the Cowboys are not just bad, they're like bad bad. And it becomes Tank for Arch. And what if Arch Manning has a solid year at Texas, which is predicted and it only makes sense.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Jerry Jones.

[Rich]

Jones like master plan.

[Covino]

And the so old the Mannings are, you know, clearly I feel like they'd be on board, right? Dallas Cowboys, the franchise that I think the Manning family could get behind. That's an interesting thought. I know it's. It's like a 20 minute old thought, but.

[Rich]

Huh, interesting.

[Covino]

Tank for Arch. You say it's going to happen. You know what, let's get the phones going. Let me open up the. All right, Danny, who do we got? Give me some names. Let me open up the computer here.

[Buzz Knight]

Well, packers fan called. He said it's the best day of his life. Tyler in Vegas.

[Covino]

Tyler. Tyler, what's up, buddy?

[Isaac Lonecron]

Hey, Cavino. Which man? It's the best day ever. This is like the greatest news that I think honestly, this is the biggest trade in my lifetime that I've seen the packers make. I was too young for Reggie White, but I mean, I feel that comparison with this trade like, it feels like this makes the packers instant super bowl contenders and it shores up their defensive line for, you know, the next half decade.

[Covino]

Oh, and by the way, even from.

[Rich]

A mental standpoint too though, it gets them fired up, man. Now they believe that they're that much better.

[Covino]

Let's, let's not forget, like we mentioned, Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs. We just said, of course, Micah Parsons of force. You guys had one of the more exciting draft picks that everyone's pumped about. You got a wide receiver, Matthew golden, high hopes for this young kid. So you even add a young wide receiver to the mix. Green Bay Packer fans take this in, love it, embrace it.

[Buzz Knight]

Their front office has been killing it.

[Covino]

In Green Bay and look at me bringing it to make it about me. But as a Niners fan, as a Niners fan, this makes the Packers.

[Rich]

Do we have a barf sound effect, Sam?

[Covino]

Or this makes the Packers a. A harder team for the Niners or anyone in the the NFC to compete with. But also, would you argue the biggest acquisition. Acquisition since The Niners added McCaffrey and it took them to the next level.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Makes me want to puke.

[Rich]

The biggest acquisition since the 49ers got McCaffrey.

[Covino]

When the 49ers added McCaffrey, it took them from really good to like, wow, this is. You got McCaffrey. Yeah.

[Rich]

Well, I like the comparison because it's not like the packers weren't pretty good. Same with your 49ers. Now there's. Yeah, they're just even better now.

[Covino]

But. But it's like you take a really good team and you add someone of that caliber.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

You added McCaffrey. The Niners got exponentially better. And you add Micah Parsons. And only a fool would argue that they're not just now exponentially better.

[Rich]

Who do we got next?

[Covino]

I bet you if you go to Vegas right now, I bet you that line has already moved to ten and a half wins for sure. Not if you could get it at nine and a half. I'm not telling you what to do. It's not my job to tell you. You had a wager. But if you don't like the over nine and a half wins for the Packers. I already. I already liked it. Now check their schedule. I'm going to put my kids college fund on it.

[Buzz Knight]

From elation to deflation. Let's go to Washington State. Hector is a huge Cowboys fan.

[Covino]

Sorry, Hector. Sorry, bro.

[Isaac Lonecron]

Yeah, I'm. I don't know if I'm mad Said. I'm. I don't know. I've been a fan since I was born. Born into it all. My family's from Fort Worth.

[Covino]

Yeah, Hector, how old? If you don't mind me asking?

[Isaac Lonecron]

33.

[Covino]

So you aren't even able to appreciate the 90s Packers?

[Rich]

Yeah. Enjoy that Netflix special because that's the closest you're going to get.

[Covino]

It was great.

[Isaac Lonecron]

I enjoyed it. Thank you. That hurt, but I did enjoy it. I was like, maybe Jerry will do something crazy like that again. But now I'm just.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Let me ask you this, bro, because, you know, outside looking in, I'm not a Cowboys fan, but I grew up loving and watching the Cowboys, there was a part of me that thought this would get done, and it was just part of the negotiation process. Did you think it was going to get done or was there a part of you that thought this could happen?

[Isaac Lonecron]

No, I'm like, this. Typical Jerry. This happens every single time there's a big contract. I did in the back of my head think of DeMarcus Ware. So I was like, maybe. But I'm like, no, Jerry had to learn.

[Covino]

But you saw Dak and CD Lam and others, right? And you were like, oh, they'll get it done.

[Rich]

I thought they'd get it done. So major surprise. Sorry, buddy.

[Covino]

No, what I Saw.

[Rich]

I honestly really feel bad because I said it before, I'll say it again. It feels like I'm not saying it is. It feels like your season is over before it even started. And it takes away from that excitement of football. Like I know how many fans are excited about football. Everybody except for Cowboys.

[Covino]

It took away the. Hey, you never know. Because I feel like now you do know.

[Rich]

Yeah, you know we're gonna go to.

[Covino]

ILO for an update. But I real quick, there was a video you gotta find. I'll post it on our Instagram at cavito and Rich, it's a Cowboys fan's girlfriend ordering a VCR on eBay. And he, and he's like, what are you doing? And she's like, I'm just trying to find a good vcr. And she's setting him up, setting him up. What would you watch on vhs? And she's like, I'm getting it for you to watch. Cowboy. Super bowl highlights.

[Rich]

Those SI recaps. So.

[Covino]

All right, let's go to ILO for an update. Obviously, Micah Parsons. That's it, right?

[Isaac Lonecron]

That is literally the only thing that is trending. Indeed, the Dallas Cowboys trading star linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay packers in exchange for two first round draft picks as well as three time Pro bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark. And Parsons has already agreed to a four year, $188 million extension with the packers, making him the highest paid non quarterback in NFL history. Parsons saying in a social media post, I never wanted this chapter to end, but not everything was in. I only ask that the person I trust to negotiate my contract be part of the process. This is a sad day, but not a bitter one. Now among the reactions of Parsons now former teammates, the Cowboys, Trayvon Diggs posted a heartbreak emoji. Kevonte Turpin posted quote, yeah, this league bleep crazy. Lol. And Cowboys safety Wanye Thomas just posted an AI generated gif of comedian and host Steve Harvey drinking hard liquor and crying. Meanwhile, one final footnote, guys. Week four of the season, the packers will be visiting the Cowboys. It'll be on NBC's. It'll be on NBC's Sunday Night Football. And with that in mind, let's listen in to a gathering of NBC executives when they found out about the trade.

[Rich]

Ladies and gentlemen, could I please have your attention?

[Isaac Lonecron]

I've just been handed an urgent news.

[Rich]

Story and I need all of you to stop what you're doing and listen. Cannonball. Wow, that must be exclusive audio.

[Covino]

It is.

[Isaac Lonecron]

We'll be waiting all day for that Sunday night. Back to you.

[Covino]

[Isaac Lonecron]

Guy, talking about his new Frank Sinatra music project.

[Buzz Knight]

Anyone who loves music would salivate over something like this. The biggest question for us was, what's in these boxes? There were a few unplayed gems that we had been alerted to by Charlie Pinion of Sinatra Enterprises. So we knew, knew that certain songs like shadow of your smile, which actually is not on this record, it'll be on the next one. Seth McFarland, Don Rickles went up to Frank Sinatra and he said, listen, I'm going to be having dinner with this lovely woman and I, you know, would you come over and say hi? And just so you know, because I feel like if she sees that I know you, it's going to make me look really cool and, you know, I might have a good night. During the middle of dinner, Frank walks over and says, don, hi, how are you? And Don goes, frank, please, I'm in the middle of dinner.
