This is a podcast where I talk about the Dallas Cowboys, a team I’ve covered as a beat writer, columnist, TV Insider and radio host for the past 28 years. I’ll also discuss the NFL, working out, food, streaming and all things Dallas. My boy, Big Joe in the Big Rig, has been my friend for 30 years and produces the show and chimes in occasionally with his thoughts on the Cowboys. After all, he’s a lifelong Cowboys fan, and he played high school, college and semi-pro football. Welcome to Jacques Talk where sports is fluid. What’s true today might not be true an hour, a day or a month from now. I’m gonna give you the truth straight with no chaser. I’m glad to have you aboard. I’m going to make y’all part of the show because it belongs to you.
