  • Cupcake interviews and fake laughs

    Coach Schotty needs to move to LA and be a comic. Every single thing he says they fake laugh at, it’s wild. Even after losses. They just guffaw at his jokes and talk about who is his favourite. Feels very amateur local radio. Like listen to their next schotty Interview. I’m not crazy. It’s absolutely wild. Come on boys, do your job.

  • Best sports show in DFW

    I listen to this show every single day while at work can’t say that abt any other show. I like especially when they talk evenly abt multiple sports not just cowboys I really don’t care abt how the cowboys practice went and I don’t think anyone else does either lol but I think they do a pretty good job talking abt the 4 major sports teams especially my favorites.

    Jerry Jones passes away. He is the worst thing to have ever happened to this team.

  • For the fans!

    Best coverage for the Dallas Cowboys! I’ve been a Cowboy fan for over 50 years…being born in Texas, but from the Pacific Islands. You guys aren’t afraid to call out Jerry for falling short, since not directly working for him. Listening to Spagnola all those years were frustrating!! Keep up the excellent work!

    Still sticking with the ‘Boys!

    Aloha!

  • Biased

    Sick of this station being loud and wrong each and every year. Everyone on this station is disgusting. Every single year the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl. Sick of hearing it. Lies, lies, lies. Stop acting like the Cowboys are the elite team in the 90’s. Have you ever heard of being unbiased? You should try it. Stop hyping this team up every single year. Enough already. 🙄 Also, you call First Take “First Fake” yet you take content and discuss it on your show. If you don’t watch it or don’... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full Show- May 14th 2026
Q: What makes the Cowboys offseason so noteworthy this year?
Steve Berline cites purposeful moves in the draft (Caleb Downs, Malachi Lawrence), the health question around Dak Prescott, and a strengthened defense as reasons the team could compete at a high level.
Former Rangers' hitting coach, Bret Boone joins the show talk about Corey Seager slumping but Josh Jung thriving
Q: What did you do to get out of a slump and what changed for you personally?
Boone shares that he did what he needed to do, including personal routines, and emphasizes that players often try different methods, including non-traditional ones, but the focus should remain on a strong, repeatable hitting process and clear timing.
Former Rangers' hitting coach, Bret Boone joins the show talk about Corey Seager slumping but Josh Jung thriving
Q: Does Seager's isolation from the rest of the team or running his own program create any discomfort, and what can you genuinely say to him if he's doing his own thing?
Boone responds that earning the right to do what you want comes with trust built through results and relationships; teammates support his process, and the key is consistency in preparation and staying with the plan even when timing is off.
Former Rangers' hitting coach, Bret Boone joins the show talk about Corey Seager slumping but Josh Jung thriving
Q: Can you talk to us a little bit about Seager's process and how unique or rare it is?
Boone says Seager's work ethic and routine are highly regimented and that his process—staying within his program and maintaining a steady approach—helps him weather slumps; the isolation from the team isn't inherently problematic if the player remains productive and grounded, and his veteran experience allows him to manage through tough periods.
Hour 4: The Rangers walk off the DBacks and former Cowboys' QB Steve Beuerlein joins the show
Q: How does Vic Fangio's defense impact their upside and what does that mean for quarterbacks facing him?
Fangio's defenses are consistently prepared, physical, and pressure-oriented, forcing offenses to adjust weekly and demanding toughness from opponents, which elevates the overall team performance.
