00:00The last 24 to 48 hours, Rael Antin, the Vice President of Content for the Washington Commanders,
00:22was suspended and then fired because, among other things, he mocked the Commissioner and
00:28then mentioned you as the person who really runs the NFL, and then he said that, quote,
00:34you don't, excuse me, you hate gay and black people.
00:38What did you think about that statement and the NFL firing that person?
00:42I dismissed it immediately, didn't even think about it, seriously, seriously.
00:48It's so off-base and wrong, so I didn't give it any more thought at all, and I hope no
00:55one does, because it's ludicrous.
00:58Jerry, Dak said he wants to be here.
01:00I saw him yesterday say he wants to be here and he wants to win one here, because winning
01:04it here would be different than winning a Super Bowl anywhere else.
01:09Why do you think that winning a Super Bowl in Dallas would be different than anywhere
01:13else?
01:14Well, I think that Dak is looking at it from the perspective of his career and his tenure,
01:25and he's invested so much in what we're about, what we can be, and I completely understand
01:34that statement.
01:35I'm proud he feels that way, and I want that to come true.
01:40Have you spoken to Dak's representatives lately, and are you all far enough along to
01:44have discussed specific annual salaries?
01:46I won't be discussing anything at all about Dak's business or contract at this particular
01:53time.
01:54Okay, and with the state of McCarthy and Dak's contracts, do you feel like you're kind of
01:59sending a message to the team and to them to be on high alert, and how do you expect
02:04them to respond?
02:05Again, I want to include Mike in that little, I guess you call it, point I'm making is I
02:15don't think any good purpose can be for discussing those agreements, and I will say this.
02:24I couldn't be more satisfied with either one of them at all, and so that's not the issue.
