    Screw Jerry
    Jerry is so bad that you all deserve 1 star for working for him more. I left a more detailed review on “The Break” if you care to read it
  • -lizardking~
    Turn it down
    Hard to listen to and enjoy this group. A lot of gossip and non football shouting. Need to do something with the mics because half the show is outrageous screaming and laughing right into the microphone which in turn blasts from my speakers
  • 7Ya7ya7
    I love this show!
    Feels like backyard talk! Hek’ma gives you the fan voice and perspective!
  • ✭ Cowboys Road to 6
    No enough actually football talk.
    Way too much talk about everything else but Dallas Cowboys football. Probably the least informative podcast about the actual team.
  • Benc2
    Fun Football Talk
    I love this show. These guys obviously know football as 3 former players and a very astute play by play in Newy. Hekma is awesome as the most diehard fan of the bunch while the banter between all of them (McCray and Church especially) is hysterical. Such a fun time and they always bring me back to center when I’m too up or down. Appreciate the info and laughs guys…Let’s Ride!
  • FL-DC-FAN
    HILARIOUS
    EVERY TIME I listen and all these cats are together on the show I end up laughing. Hekma fits right in!! It’s like listening to guys talking sports at a cookout with the jokes. Real fun show that goes well with a brew and some BBQ 😂 Btw Newy time to let go of “Lets Ride” man. LOL

    Dig the pod.
    My wife and I met Danny and Barry at a cowboys thing a couple weeks ago and I wanted to get into a cowboys pod. Found this and like it. Do y’all do.
  • Don in McKinney
    The very best Cowboys podcast
    Newy is a tremendous boast and keeps the guys focused and on point and also asks very perceptive questions that get Barry and Danny to dig deep and show fans the why and the how of playing and team building. I eagerly wait for this pod. What a gift if you love the Boys or just love to hear three guys you genuinely like each other and love sharing their passion and insight for the Cowboys !

    Relace Newy Scruggs on the Players Lounge
    Newy Scruggs is a racist. He restates on a regular that the NFL is racist. Interesting that he is carrying this hate when most teams are majority a mixture of color. Talent trumps color. Scruggs should be replaced. Barry Church & Danny McCray are top notch and I love their playful banter. Danny is joyous with his laughter.
  • Kyle Forchetti
    Uncomfortable
    Newy made some very inflammatory and decisive comments last week accusing NFL owners of being racist because they don’t hire more African American coaches. Newy should be reprimanded for his comments and they should find a better PERSON for his job.

    Awful!!!!
    Just a bunch of leftist social justice warrior crap
  • NateD25
    Great stuff
    Gentlemen I love the content and the knowledge y’all provide to us. I don’t remember who brought it up about the 2017 season when D Law had 14.5 sacks, but the DE that played the opposite of him was Tyrone Crawford (14 starts that year). Let’s hope D Law gets as much help from the other DEs again 🤞🏻. Thanks and please continue crushing these podcasts.
