All right, time out.

0:01.1

Micah Parsons is a Packer.

0:02.7

The trade just went down.

0:04.2

I love your guy's reaction to it. David, you have the complete deal. This deal gets even better to me for what the Packers did. You want to know how they swung this cap-wise? Take a listen to this. David, go ahead. Yeah, the Cowboys will receive two first-round picks in exchange for Michael Parsons. the Packers gave them Kenny Clark also in the deal.

0:04.3

Who makes 3030 million a year? Correct. Bye-bye. It's brilliant. It's not to say Kenny Clark's not a good player. It's just to say he's not Michael Parsons. And we're going to get better. You're exactly right. Take this. Yeah. You're going to defer that money. He's now gone. He's off our books. There you go. He's a three-time pro bowler, but Michael Parsons is probably going to be wearing a yellow jacket soon. David, good luck selling that. I feel bad for the fans of Dallas sports because you lost Michael Parsons and Luca D Donches. Good. I hope next you lose your team. Oh, we put a hole of the roof so God could watch his favorite team. F you. I hate Dallas. I mean, imagine trying to explain the cowboy face. No, no, no. Kenny Clark. There's no explaining it.

1:15.2

All right. David, what's the initial reaction on ticket text? We'll get to the people,

1:21.3

but I want as many opinions as possible. I had the lines at 10 and 7 in the playoffs, and now I have them at 9 and 8 and out of the playoffs. Someone else says, we are cooked. Another person

1:26.6

says, now we just lost the north.

1:29.3

Parsons to the Packers? Oh, no. I guess I should have played that drop for that one as

1:33.2

as well. I thought the Lions were going to go to Green Bay and beat them now. I'm not sure anymore.

1:40.0

Well, listen, let's not overstate it. Me saying the division got tougher and me saying he ended up in a spot, the nightmare scenario, I think some are you overreacting a little bit. I'm not changing what I think the Lions are. I think the Lions are a playoff team. But I didn't think you were going to win the division before this happened. So, no, I wouldn't pick you now. but no, I don't think Michael Parsons all of a sudden means you can't win against the pack.

1:44.4

It's just... this happened. So no, I wouldn't pick you now. But no, I don't think Michael Parsons all of a sudden

2:01.9

means you can't win against the pack. It just, it makes week one very interesting. It just

2:07.4

makes it more difficult than it needs to be. And considering we've been sitting here with over

2:13.1

40 million of cap this year, this team's more interested in rolling it over and worrying about next year than even paying

2:20.0

a Zadarius Smith.

2:21.1

And this team is more worried about planning their class reunion than paying anybody.

2:26.4

Yes, then.

2:26.7

Someone else on a tech says, this is malfeasance by Brad Holmes.

2:29.7

First huge strike against him.

2:31.3

I'm pissed.

2:32.4

Hold on.
