This is the best of the herd with Colin Cowherr on Fox Sports Radio.

Oh, here we go on a Thursday. This is the herd wherever you may be and however you may be listening we are live in Los Angeles.

I heart radio Fox Sports Radio and FS1. Urban Meyer Greg Jennings Chris Sims Greg co-cell stopped by again today and Joy Taylor is joining me. I know for a lot of people they consider this the dead time for sports talk radio in America.

I love coming to work on days like this. Today we are our prep usually last two and a half hours. We were about an hour 45 in. We had it all done. We got so many topics today. Joy, how are you?

I'm great. Good morning. Good morning. Joy today looks like an elegant movie star in 1969. We are in Hollywood.

I would call it 1967 Marlene Dietrich is dominating the airway. I'm done for Dorothy. You're drive people to the theater. You look great.

Hi, everybody. Great to have you in. You know, you never work with anybody. Are you ever got a boss?

Ever been in somebody in your life and you're like, I'm a loopy. They are crazy. And then all of a sudden years later, you're like, maybe they were a lot smarter than I thought.

I know we've made fun. People have the media has made fun of Jerry Jones. You ever think maybe have you watched their drafts in the last seven eight years? Maybe Dallas is a little smarter than you think.

They do win their division two of the last three years. When's the last time outside of the Romo injured year? They were bad. Maybe Jerry Jones. He did hire par cells in Jimmy Johnson. Maybe Jerry's a little smarter than you think.

Two days ago, I said this joint. I talked about this. That the Jerry Jones just put on a cowboy hat and a cowboy shirt sat under a nice shaded tree and delivered an address saying basically, you know, running backs don't win Super Bulls. And he set it with that Texas charm and that homey Texas slang. And you're like, man, Jerry's making a real impact here. Well, Stephen Jones that it yesterday his son.

Stephen Jones came out and he talked to the media, but I want you to listen to what he said because he's not talking to the media. Oh, I mean, the media is who he's addressing, but he's talking to other cowboy players. Here it is. Talk about Zeke.

We want to be fair. We want our players to feel good about their contract, but at the same time, we don't want to do things that are out of line because we can't afford to be that way. Whether it's a doc, whether it's a marry, whether it's Zeke, they all understand we've got a whole group of young players coming behind them.

We want to be Dallas Cowboys and want to stay here and we save money. Whether it's with DAC, whether it's with Zeke, whether it's with the Mario, it's not saving Jerry and I dollar. It's just money that's going to go to another player.

Oh, that's so smart. Stephen Jones is saying that gang, Cabo, he's taking your money, not taking ours. He's not talking to the media there. This is not Zeke against cowboy owners.

Jerry and Stephen have pushed it, move the argument to Zeke is taking your money. So smart. Now it's not ownership against young star player. It's Zeke.

He takes, he takes more money. He's just taking money out of your pocket and your family's pocket and you guys are all great.

And there is an advantage to having that sort of, I got to be honest, that whole Texas twang thing makes everything sound a little softer.

Somebody with a Texas twang could walk up to you and say, you're fired and we love you here.

But you just couldn't get the job done and we love you here in Dallas, but you're not getting a job.

I'm going to have to fire you and I feel bad for your family and your children. And we'll go have to let you go. And by the end of it, you're like, yeah, you didn't do a good enough job. You deserve to be fired.
