What is happening at Cowboys training camp in Oxnard and who’s on this episode?
I am convinced until he takes his last breath, he is the owner and the GM of this team. It's the Musers.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know if you wanted me to start. We just clearly talked about I was going to start this week.
I apologize.
It's the Musers, the podcast. And we are on the road for episode 53. We are in California, Oxnard, California, which is the home of Dallas Cowboys training camp for the 20th season. I'm George. I'm Gordon. I'm Gordon.
No, I'm Craig. Yeah, you be Craig. We ought to switch one podcast and each try to do each other's character.
Okay.
I'll talk about bike riding and having gray hair and being fit. It sounds like a great idea.
That's all I have written for your character so far. Sounds like a great idea. You're off to a good start. See me as so shallow, don't you? We're off to a great start.
That's all I really know about you. After 30 years of knowing me.
I haven't paid close attention. Well, football won't officially start for the National Football League regular season games until September, but many see it as the start of football season when teams report to training camp, and most of them did last week and even before the Cowboys reported. At the beginning of last week, there were some teams that had already started, and this is what gets us going into our favorite season, in the sports world anyway, in this country, and that is football. Not soccer. Football. I know they call it football over there, but this is what we call football when you put on helmets and you go 11 on 11 and you try to advance the ball down the 100-yard field.
Here's a stupid sports question for my two sports experts. Okay, we'll try. Does soccer have as much complication as American football? What do you mean? I think that if I was a foreigner and tried to start even understanding American football, it would confuse me greatly because there seems to be so many rules.
That's a good one. Although, I mean, even watching the World Cup this summer, I still have questions about soccer.
I would say American football is way more complicated than soccer, just in terms of X's and O's. I think it's way more complicated. Soccer is more complicated than it appears, but football is way more detailed. Yeah, I would say so.
How many different positions are in soccer? Same. Same as football? Yeah, you have 11.
And they each have a different position? Yep. But they each just kind of run around.
Yeah, that's what it looks like.
Stupid American eyes. It's so much more unstructured because the clock never stops. There are set pieces, as they say in soccer. You do have designed plays, but I would say most of it is just kind of free-flowing play. relatively speaking to American football, where every play has a design.
Every play is so coordinated.
Every player on every play has a specific job to do, and that's not the case in soccer.
But I think you're right. I think if you're trying to explain the game of football to someone, and they're seeing it for the first time, they're going to have... Probably eight times the amount of questions as someone's watching a soccer game for the first time.
Yeah. It can be complicated. It's certainly more complicated than baseball, American baseball to me.
Yeah. Although I think someone who sees a baseball game for the first time about foul balls and count and all that, it may take just a little bit of time.
Yeah, but when I, as a lay sports person, if I'm watching a baseball game, it seems much more intelligible to me than when a play starts in football and it's over in a matter of four seconds, but everybody was moving in a coordinated way that doing specific things that It takes me a while to pull apart a whole play in football as opposed to baseball. It seems very obvious. The guy hits the ball, and that guy runs over and tries to get it and field it and throw him out.
Just think about the difference in what you can do with the game piece, American football compared to soccer. In soccer, you can pretty much only kick it unless you're the goalkeeper. Then you can use your hands.
