He was absolutely AWFUL last week (he always is but last week probably was his worst). I know that show lost thousands of listeners with no Bryan.

Noooobody but Mickey himself (@Rockport ) will tune into that new podcast he has . Poor Bill

Is Mickey Rockport? That would explain a lot.

This is awesome, I have, for over a decade, despised his writing, but in the early years it was all I could get at 13, besides tv. I haven't been able to take one word he says seriously since then, I'm sure there are some like me and started fallowing the team in 1994 or so that have seen one SB with Switzer...Mickey gave me hope just to be crushed since then. Screw you Mickey.

Venting is healthy.

Spags seemed pretty grouchy last week on Talkin Cowboys. Very argumentative.

The new podcast with Mickey will probably be a Mickey’s minute for an entire hour with him telling stories that have nothing to do with football. It will be like the old Talkin Cowboys when he had a former Cowboys cheerleader hosting with him. They would spend a segment on what she did on her weekend. That’s when I stopped listening to the show. I started listening again when Broaddus was added. I’m sure Bill Jones will try and keep him on track.

It was unlistenable last week. I tried for a few minutes and deleted the podcast. His new show will be nothing but 2 guys reminiscing about the good ole days.

Could Rowdy's dismissal be next? We can only hope!

What happened to Everson Walls. He just disappeared from the show :huh:

Some people seem to be interpreting this as Mickey being gone, but I think they're just expanding to another show and giving Mickey lead billing on it. "Mick Shots."

That's certainly what they will tell you publicly.

It is a strange place to be. I feel similarly. Even to the point that I stopped listening to Talkin Cowboys, despite my podcast addiction. On some level Mickey has earned a level of respect, but on the other. the show was simply unbearable to me and what looks like a vast majority of listeners.

The real story here is Derek Eagleton's reaction and implementation of this new plan. For anyone looking at it from a business management or leadership perspective, this move is really something to learn from. One one side, he frees Talkin Cowboys from this mess, while at the same time showing Mickey a decent level of respect, and also placating the group of fans who actually like Mickey on a podcast. While I won't be listening to it, I hope "Mick Shots" does well enough to continue. There's an audience for that, so let those people have something to enjoy.

I'm looking forward to the re-vamped Talkin' Cowboys. Kudos to Eagleton for finding a very good answer.

And he's 'giving' Mickey enough rope to hang himself. 'Those people' that you're referring to are a very small minority, and Eagleton's decision will bear that out. They've finally separated Mickey from everyone else because nobody wants to work with him. And when nobody listens to 'his podcast'? That will seal the deal for anyone not yet convinced.

Interesting...…….….there was some tension on last weeks Talking Cowboys between Mickey and the other three. They were discussing free agents and Mickey was saying stuff like "I am trying to teach you guys how the league works" and stuff like that. The other three were starting to get pissed so I wonder if any of them went to Derrick and complained.

It was clearly the last straw. No coincidence. This isn't the first time, not the second time, not the tenth time. How long ago was it when he had a public tantrum on somebody's radio program?

The beginning of the end.

Mickey will be around until he retires

It's annoying because he acts like a know it all, but all his opinions are hindsight 20/20. Cowboys could lose out on a free agent and he'll say "if hes so good why did so and so let him go", but if they sign someone decent, its "a great signing that could be just what the teams needs". He'll never go against the company line, so that's boring.

Cowboys Break is much much better because they speak their minds for the most part.

He's a clueless company shill who pimps everything the team does as great and comes up with justifications for every move they don't make. And when things fail, there's always some reason other than the obvious.

Worse yet, he's a disrespectful jerk to everyone he deals with who has a differing opinion. Anywhere else and this behavior would have him fired years ago. It's amazing that it has been allowed to go on publicly for this long.

But no more.

My opinion is one of 2 things happened (or both):
1) Eagleton has more free time since he is at home. So, he listened to the last show and was appalled at how much of a jerk Mickey was.
2) The new guy, Hekma Harrison, seemed real annoyed with Mickey. He is new, and maybe he doesn't just put up with Mickey like everybody else seems to. Hekma seems like an knowledgeable guy with a good personality and probably couldn't understand why they use that jerk to represent the team. Maybe he complained to management.

Who knows. Either way, Mick is now free to succeed or fail on his own.

That’s why I don’t like Cowboys Break they are worse than people say Mickey is. What y’all say about Mickey is how I feel about the Cowboys Break and the others. He’s speaking his mind just like they’re speaking theirs. The difference is he’s positive and their negative and they complain about this and that and they have no power to change anything. Really they’re talking out of their *****, in my opinion. I really don’t like those guys.

He had been around for over 25 years do you think he will fail. I don’t see that happening
