Podcast: Boyz N The Zone

Reason for Podcast: I’ve been a HUGE fan of the Dallas Cowboys since I’ve been about 7 years old. Thus, I heavily followed tons of Cowboys Content Creators such as, Voch Lombardi, Skywalker Steele, Foots the King, and GRYDs very own Cowboys CanFan. Through being in chats with them I actually got invited on the show and thoroughly enjoyed it, while also receiving good feedback from others! I then decided to create my own show and Twitter account following the Cowboys and everything in relation!

Favorite Sports Moment: My favorite sports moment for me would have to be watching the Kansas Jayhawks Basketball team win the 2021 National Championship after being down double digits at half against UNC.

Favorite Top 5 Athletes of all-time:

Tony Romo: He made Cowboys Football fun again, just watching him go from UDFA to Pro-Bowler and eventually to franchise record holder for the ‘Boys made my youth exciting!

Pistol Pete Maravich: Growing up I played basketball starting at the age of 5. One day my father brought home a movie called “The Pistol” which followed a young, scrawny basketball player who’s drive and determination led him to being one of the greatest college players of all time— and a pretty good PRO as well! The story resonated with me and pushed me to practice much more at a young age, allowing me to make my middle school and high school teams despite being the shortest player on the teams!

Dak Prescott: 2016 a young EJ was just getting into scouting and one of the very first players I fell in love with during the process was Mississippi States Rayne Dakota Prescott. I instantly told all of my friends and family that the Cowboys should draft him due to Romos injured past, and eventually that became reality!

Paul Pierce: The Jayhawk legend led me to become a Boston Celtics Fan, and despite the lack of team success until the “Big 3” was formed I remained a huge fan of he and the C’s— and still do till this day!

Larry Bird: Another Celtics Legend that became one of my favorites of all time after watching numerous rerun games one night on the NBA network as a kid. His scoring, determination, athleticism, and competitiveness were amazing, but he was one of the greatest passers in league history in my opinion too, and that’s what made me fall in love with Larry Legend!

Favorite Five Current Athletes : Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, Jayson Tatum, Gradey Dick (hometown legend)
