PTFO - Watching the Dallas Cowboys on Death Row: Our Visit to a Supermax Prison

That's the thing about the death penalty, it's so difficult, is that we're not the worst thing that we've ever done. Are you the worst thing that you've ever done? Because I know you've done something that you, when you think about it, you cringe. We all have. Every human being that's alive has done something like that. So... That's what they're here for. But that's not the person that I know.

I'm not that person, right? And so for the most part, you know, guys are pretty calm, you know, pretty low key. And so there's not a lot of friction on their throne. Now, general population, it's different. And when there's a bunch of guys together and then it gets personal. Because somebody starts talking trash, and they put it out, but they can't take it in. And then they get angry.

And then once you get angry, well, then you'll say something that you shouldn't say, and they'll start fighting. So, yeah, there is that element, but I think that's out there in the free world, too.

So we get up, you know, I'll get up about 8 o'clock. And because it's a big day, we'll make a feast and we make stuff out of the items that we can buy at the commissary. And so it might be nachos or it might be tacos or special like Super Bowl or something. We'll do enchiladas.

So you got to buy the stuff a month before to make sure you have everything that you're going to need on that day. If it's enchiladas, are you cooking those in your cell? Everything that's made is pre-cooked. So you buy items. Beef tips and gravy. Uh-huh. Summer sausages are also used. Chicken chili. And all these things are pre-cooked, so they come in little, like, plastic pouches.

And it's an intricate process. We have to put all these things in cleaned-out plastic chip bags, and we heat them up. What we cook in is a hot pot, which essentially looks like a... an electric water kettle which heats up the water, right? So everything is heated up in water in a plastic bag. And the trick is knowing how to mix everything and warm it up together to make the enchiladas good.

Mostly it was week to week. So depending on the matchups, you would make a new lineup. You understand? Okay. You know, Tom Brady's playing whoever, so you're starting Tom Brady. And if it's a two-quarterback league, you know, whoever else it might be. You know, and Rodgers, right? Right. And thenβ€”and soβ€” Zekiel Elliott has a good matchup, so you're going to start him.

And then, you know, you're mixing and matching. You're mixing and matching. Okay. And so there wasn't no need to get together and have a draft. But what you would have to do is turn in your team because there's a commissioner that's running it, right? And he's the one that's going to get each team, and then he's going to create what we call master sheets. So there's a deadline.
