What the podcasts are saying about the Dallas Cowboys
Verbatim excerpts from published episode transcripts, linked to the moment each one was said.
“A primetime affair late last week, the Cowboys and the Cardinals. This was in Arizona, and this is Joe Milton. I mean, he is the king of preseason football. Jonathan Mingo remember him, the former Panther.”
“I saw the Cowboys one again. Yeah, had two and no baby, Yeah, thirty four to thirteen over the Cardinals. I'm telling you, Milton looks awesome. He is the greatest TikTok backup quarterback in the history of time.”
“If we draft the Cowboys and then they suck, I might kill you. Yeah, don't get the Cowboys.”
