Now that would've been fun, but we were there to work hard and bring you complete Cowboy coverage.

While we were there, we faced a few challenges: One of which being we couldn't shoot any player interviews. All I could shoot was B-roll; all player interviews were sent to us by the Dallas Cowboys themselves.

Another challenge I faced was dealing with the cooler California weather and focusing on the job when I'm within a few feet of superstars.
