Where did tequila originate and who invented it?
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Cuervo.
Cuervo. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
What is Jerry Jones' impact on NFL negotiations?
All right, so Jerry Jones at it again, man. This guy is the most impressive reality TV producer in history. I used to get frustrated, and I still sometimes, one of the things that I enjoy doing is pointing out when owners and management in general drop the ball on one of the very few things that only they are responsible for, and that is like the external communication. So between... The Cowboys and the Bengals right now, who are both in contract negotiation situations with top of the league talents at pass rusher, at marquee positions, they both seem to be bungling the external communication part about this. The last time that someone messed this up so bad, or not even the negotiations part, but the communications part, was when the owner of the Giants kind of put all his coaches and general managers on the hot seat by making a joke, suggesting that they better show me something fast. And I was like, you're putting them in a bad spot.
But fast forward to now, Jerry Jones is supposedly in negotiations with Micah Parsons. He had one-on-one conversations with Micah Parsons, which Jerry Jones believes is some sort of level of binding negotiations, I guess. But Micah Parsons has an agent. And rather than be quiet, it's one thing you could do. Rather than do that, Jerry Jones says the agent is not a factor here or something to worry about. And I don't know his name. Like, his name is David Mulageta, who everyone knows his name because he might be the agent. But that aside, what are you doing other than trying to get on Get Up in the morning or trying to get people to talk about it? Like, he has to be, unless he is careening towards some sort of, I don't know, mental aid situation, he has to know that that's not gonna sit well with Micah Parsons and it's not gonna look right for him. Unless we're just accepting that he's like, man, how can I get them to talk about me?
Well, I think it's a guy who the only wins that Jerry Jones seemingly is going to get is in these art of the deal moments now, where you look at how he's done things in these face-to-face, give me your handshake, and that should be binding conversations. I was long put in a position long, long, long ago and told by people who dealt with contracts, if anybody makes you feel funny about the money that you have earned, see it for what it is and keep it moving. Micah Parsons can't keep it moving. You know, you got it. You got to take what's on the table, but saying that David Mulligan is not a person that you should have to even have any speaks with any conversation with, nor acknowledging his presence. One that is setting a precedent for all these contracts going forward. Like, Oh, Yeah, if I'm the Rams and I'm talking to somebody who I've drafted, I don't need to talk to their agent.
I don't need to bring in one of the power brokers of the game. He's not winning on the field. Any attention is good attention. I think he still operates under that premise. But the whole art of the deal and the whole negotiation and the whole – you know, oil tycoon and businessman kind of vibe that he is trying to give off. He's still having those wins in his mind. And also, please believe when these owners get together and talk like they need to talk without the cameras around, Jerry Jones is walking around with the big stick in his head. So he continues to, you know, go about things this way.
I think within the owner's room, he still has this type of leverage. He went on to say that... I'm not trying to demean him, but it isn't about an agent. I'm not demeaning the agent, which you only say if you know that what you just said was demeaning.
It's the no disrespect preface. No disrespect, but your baby's ugly. You know what I mean?
With all due respect. Oh, that's one of my favorites. I love it with all due respect. If you say with all due respect, shade is coming. Oh, I can't wait. I am hanging on to the very next phrase that you let out. But... I don't know. And he hasn't won these negotiations. He waits to the last moment. He loses negotiations. I guess I just don't understand the point of this.
