The Dallas Cowboys will suit up for their annual Thanksgiving Day with the heaviest of hearts in 2020. On Tuesday, strength and conditioning coach Markus Paul suffered a medical emergency while at the team facility, and he sadly passed away on Wednesday night. The team still has to suit up and play a football game less than 24 hours later as they’ll take on the Washington Football Team.

While we normally record our shows on Tuesday, we felt it important this episode did not air without the grave news surrounding the game that will undoubtedly have a different vibe to it. Ryan O’Leary and I recorded a new beginning segment this morning, to better reflect the situation. We also didn’t want to not provide the other portions of the show recorded earlier in the week, discussing the win over Minnesota and Thursday’s game. Have a listen.
