"The Odd Couple" of sports radio, straight man Craig Shemon is joined by James Washington, probably the wildest member of the great Dallas Cowboy teams that won three Super Bowls in the 1990's. Washington spent years hitting the town with acclaimed partiers like "The Playmaker." Michael Irvin, and made one of the most crucial plays in Cowboys history by returning Thurman Thomas' third quarter fumble for a touchdown in Super Bowl XXVIII. When these two opposites get together, it makes for great radio.
