Jim Nantz, CBS NFL PxP

Friend Jim -- from CBS joins us say Jim I don't. I am well on good to be with you boys this morning. -- have you whether suck it real quickly before we talk football I know how much gulf means to you I know what a historian of the game you are and I know how troubled -- you would be today about the news of Byron Nelson's passing.

that was just crushed yesterday one what I heard the news although -- 94 your soul the you know is little long and glorious life which still not ready for the news you -- really well a couple spent a lot of time with them through the years including 21 years of broadcasting is golf tournament palace but. I admired my favorite time within that was what last christmas -- and I got to go out to his ranch. House was all decorated that the spent an afternoon not clear with a great man that quite Peggy -- it is living room which is equivalent to those stories one more time in was in town for cowboys game right -- I've used it you know prime had to be running short and I largest want the -- would spend quality time with them one more time. And all just treasurer that they're worried about that.

Jim can you put into perspective why he was so great.

I think pretty you know I think part of the beetle that 1945 cities in the head as the -- that all the reasons in the history of the game. We -- 11 tournament -- an 18 overall but I think -- every one. It is and his time and just think about that people that he saw it is it is targeting -- was part of the Big Three would just need Hogan. But certainly -- Bobby -- to you Walter Hagan he was that I witnessed the -- surgeons double legal the government in 1935 he was playing an adjacent always played as 70 people running parallel with 15. It had the paused before he had his second shot was there isn't it it has that he watched there's been hit that same double -- of the whole. So you think about all the generations he spent quite up to it including tiger and Phil Mickelson. Two players today that that he had a really close Bartlett the man's -- at all and touched that they everyone involved in the game and everyone walked up because episode generous soul warming -- death. An incredible -- People aren't abiding state he was Christian man who you know the more important -- statement. And -- he he cared around alleged -- it -- apart first much of the window that accomplished in golf the think that I'll always remember these four is is just as kindness and his his warm spirit that he exuded the Q Everett -- products. You're lucky person because it was almost like this book I read what -- called the government by properly which in this book the other claim that you can grab some sort of like magnetic waves office will want positive energy type thing. It if that was ever true it was true that that would be about Byron else.

Turning our attention to football in the game that you'll be covering this weekend needless to say Tom Brady and his travails are hot topic of conversation in these parts. And I'm sure will be part of the story line this weekend.

No question of -- import comedy side always look at around Bristol on the pro ball the baby discovered a little supper late that it -- Doug Gabriel I mean after all but -- opened -- go to camp with them so -- there's always something that this team -- to respond to whether it's injuries of the secondary York. You know we know through the years myriad things that that somehow. -- Czech coach belichick as spelled away -- patchwork it together in the issue this year right now anyway that appears to be what what is what is delinquent going to do we're with a paucity of options to receive

UN bill -- did the Cincinnati Pittsburgh game on Sunday what did you see from the Steelers Matt Damon and more specifically more importantly at say four. Patriots fans what did you see from the bank.

That we get a chance to meet with the work with both teams both before game and it is is one of those were to -- in help and the private discussions with so what do I think that the that the scenarios we really felt the Cincinnati it was so prime for a big show like on Sunday even though they were on the road. It's still feeling distinct from last year to worry at a loss in -- and you know it's still angry about Carson Palmer get knocked out of that game with that horrible need injury that he's comeback from a you could just sense of this -- teams for a couple of department they are loaded. And you know offensively they're making some mistakes right now but they are explosive there either one of the most explosive -- obscene you know it it'll long dark about beat most but certainly right up.

Somewhat off topic at what point during the telecast on Sunday did. -- learned about his son's medical issues because I know he left there and went immediately to Tampa.

Well it'll let me -- reportedly did not immediately go to the Tampa he was home on Monday he went on Sunday night in an -- that's what was reported by I've got to say this has been something that's been a quandary -- You know it's christmas starting quarterback example last season is trying to -- broadcast that -- same time. Still trying to avoid any kind of information about -- games you can imagine not sitting there on the Sunday quality gave up ordering now my my 12 year old daughter is two regular travel soccer game on Sunday. Well how about a pitchers on -- disturbed recorder back in the NFL it is games they can place at the same on. I don't know how he's been all the ballots that but if you don't Sunday became -- the boot as the guys here's what I -- want today what not need to talk about Tampa podium giving it an update -- commercials I got my computer right product. And I got a right there on on sports like CBS sportsline I've got I can't help myself on such a fan of the game. You know I get a commercial I'm going to every games like clicking clicking -- think all the steps at a brigade because of any fantasy football. Luster hurting the bullet that is just I'd like to sleep who's running the ball who's played well what's going on. So he said I don't want any updates so I purposely stayed away from that camp became although -- some point dirty gave up on the board there I'd steal they put a -- series of scores of there and -- one -- off. -- 17 not think christmas the -- about the tough today and I anticipate that makes you feel it better right did take what little speaker justice technical Christians -- with touchdown. Which you know -- a real back in and the game ended. And I really did -- what the final score was in that game much less that -- that worked so we rode out to the airport together and we had nowhere probation double it wasn't until his flight back it's and they were got ample that he made a phone call home and found out that. Pick Chris was in surgery but he flew north -- And that he -- on down the temple on a Monday after the.

Jim what do you think of the reports that Terrell Owens attempted suicide last night Dallas. It.

When I first heard this morning but somewhat bigger responsible and you know that's sketchy information here. They -- disappointed together borrowed industry that someone who may be without check or double checking as a source -- go up even report that its of that but. You know I've been frantically on the internet here for -- for the last hour is certainly looks like you know these reports are true.

When you read the police report you can certainly see how would be reported the way ideas down there.

Yeah I mean I think that the united that all the police report is out there now and you know they have them walking in. In at an entity just -- try to stop or pulled out of struck you know it's. Hey it's. You know -- He just know that some former fashion he's going to he's going to he's going to be considered attention this is that this is a very sad thing you know who knows I don't want to I'm not going to be judgmental at all in support that was obviously suffering and was battling some sort of depression that whether or not maybe perhaps this is something that he's always battle we don't know. Maybe this was brought on by the as a reaction to this particular medication that put -- in the throes of depression. But it's is starting news and you know the cowboys are the latest team because of -- become well Michael weekly soap opera element on the had to falsely and it's sometimes have become so large the subplot of what is the latest with ago that the team. Developer overcome. And -- I'm I'm sure that Bill Parcells had great questions of whether or not a good idea to have Terrell -- ball team this year and you know. The centuries wondering that you know all season -- trading up currently but right now the biggest concern is which is should not like to see -- I can't help but obviously it. You know that he distilled ready by that that could have the wife to appoint like that would they're trying to injure themselves.

And finally before we -- ago you and I have been involved for a number of years now at a charity event -- Rundle along with former President Bush and every year I get there early and this year I got there early enough to watch UT off first three with a foursome that included yourself. Former President Bush former President Clinton and Tom Brady with Bridget Moynihan riding around in the -- with mrs. Bush I mean that was a -- a group desirous sought tee -- up there.

Well -- it's I was joint city is there it's incredible that that raises tremendous money and we really do as you can attest the much it -- there for for for Gary's house. But he great young man Terry Reich who lost the battle cancer some years ago. And he really wanted his last -- was that -- the bill. Try to -- home hold for -- the need to be your I would love -- point cancer treatment but. On this occasion you know they have present Bush and President Clinton to get for the second on a date they had what -- the previous June a bit at Kennebunkport -- by the attack along for about -- so this was this was Kennebunkport summit number two and they have radio long it promises such a classy guy we had quite a day you know we played a rematch -- inside the body at 18 polls prius which -- every six holes so accommodations were were we read a fascinating. Eight weeks which the -- around the backs rattled parts of which travel park but which started out with Brady and Bush defeating Clinton dance won out over six holes. And then and then is that Clinton Brady played Bush -- to a sixth hole -- And the wartime uncharged about people reading it and steam. Perhaps the first to ever to have the incredible opportunity go against two former presidents. I mean it could you imagine two former president ever having been paired together pressure in this update Bush 40 wanted to push 43 obviously they've been partners -- all but they're not have a former president in that equation yet with 43. But to have the chance that a historic first carrying a two former president wonderful defeated the other and maybe never Cambodia but it to have this chance Brady Nantes defeated Bush Clinton have up.

I I gotta tell you that eight in in may -- that was at the Byron Nelson golf store. When President Bush called it -- president Clinton's -- come up again on June the fifth and 64 whatever laws. He says you know you gotta come back for the -- LP their guests were he says opt out of favor to ask is art for any greater electric -- keep -- you can be tied up that they would that your golf tournament. What do you know of anyone in the area who it'll. With those -- post spies who might be enters an incumbent Michael what does that -- I think anybody else I think there's a few people is what you have any ideas that I -- how about Tom Brady he said. Probably it meet the patriots go back yes sir you'd think would think with ones. As mr. -- given the fact that if you were President Clinton actors might be announced sick kids keep them for the I was in Dallas -- you know I tracked down ominous that that whole idea of four -- to point golf and do whatever was 24 presidents and they have to put me as well but oh -- able to work it out and and he was terrific and by the way you know they've they've really enjoyed his company to do.

It was a lot of fun it was fun watching guys play.

And when he you know Tom by the way shot 73 that there might so pretty screens -- pretty good -- facilities scattered attributes -- of course. He played out at the Pebble Beach tournament which would broadcast -- it -- the other -- before as an amateur. He knocked it over Pebble -- eight people -- along water over the green and 2.

Created I was on the green in three and with. Thankful on animals -- it.

maybe you know arguably the greatest greatest 18 hole it all -- and Anton just hit driver three wouldn't just blew it right over the grain. But it was a it was a wonderful time then in on disgraceful that that have been part of that.

Jim it's always fun to visit with you will be -- on Sunday and we'll talk again at some point in the future --

Budged patriot games coming up then know what that the talk before -- after a Mondale and Michael thank you for having me on Paula.
