Ah, here we go to Tuesday. This is the herd wherever you may be and however you may be listening. We are live in Los Angeles on I heart radio, Fox Sports Radio and FS1. Let me take this extra mic off.

I've never done that before. That's what's called Joy Taylor Artee's mic.

Well, you know what? Back from holiday. We're just trying to get back into just trying to figure out how to do this radio TV.

Simon Cass thing. Hope you had a great weekend. Boy, it was steamy in Los Angeles this weekend. Yeah, it's on. Do you stay in town? I did not. I was in Kansas City, a thorough.

Oh, you're kidding. It was also very seamy. You've been on your tour this summer. The world's highest places. I think it's over now. I think we're in town for a little while.

All right. Great. All right. It's good to have you in a Tuesday. Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. I've always felt that the Zeke, the Jerry battle here is a.

It's a PR. Game and Jerry's very good at the PR game. He's not the best owner in terms of super balls and wins. He's very good in brand building.

And getting his message out and I've always felt that he took it personally when Zeke didn't show up to practice camp and was in Kabul. The optics were bad.

I think Jerry was ticked off. Jerry went to the well for this guy went after Roger Goodell for this guy and you pay him off by going to Kabul and bailing on camp. So Jerry has made a point of coming over and over and over and sending messages.

He sent another one yesterday. So he signed an offensive lineman whose contract wasn't up to a new deal. The message is Zeke.

We got money here, but it's shrinking and offensive. And then he signed Jalen Smith 10 days ago. Money early. By the way, both contracts did not have to be signed.

Both contracts that not have to be extended. And Jerry's like, ah, shrinking, shrinking, shrinking. It's getting tiny. It's getting tiny.

Now Shannon Sharp this morning, undisputed. It looks like Zeke seeing all these new deals is at least making a move to this country.

I received some information that Zeke and his team are on their way back to Dallas. Now I don't know if they've already landed, but I was told they're heading back.

I believe this is an effort of good faith to so Jerry, you said this is a marathon. Let's not kill this deal 100 miles from the Finnish line scheme.

Basically what I'm saying. And I believe Zeke wants to show Jerry. Jerry. I'm back.

Now Jerry is now signed two contracts extensions. He did not have to sign. And both contracts are for players who have sort of over delivered Jalen Smith got hurt, came back pro

boulder and Collins, the offensive lineman. Uh, he got involved in a real ugly situation in college. He dropped out of the draft. Cowboys roll the dice on him. And he is over delivered for them.

So Jerry again is signing guys who over delivered the contracts early. He does not have to the messaging to Zeke is. And Jerry was live on Dallas radio this morning.

Once again, he goes back to his new favorite phrase.
