It's the Downbeat on ninety seven one in the Trees, tracking all the big
stuff for you today, including the news that we learned in the first segment
of the show. Bill Bella check out as the head coach of the Patriots.
Whether you care or not, I don't know, that's kind of up
to you. But he is, I care well of those iconic coaches in
all of sports. Yeah, and he gone, as is Nick Saban And
I think you know Pete Carroll a little bit. I think that has cowboy
ramifications. Dan Quinn used to be the defensive coordinator in Seattle if he wanted
out. It sucks that the way the NFL does these things, they are
they almost maybe it's great, but if your team's in the playoffs, you're
like, I don't like all this conversation around my coaches. Can we just
play the game? Because we shouldn't be talking about will dan Quinn take the
Seahawks job? Will Mike McCarthy get fired at the Packers? Is we shouldn't
be talking about those things. But you know what, their damn owner does
not help things. Whenever time he moves his mouth, he just won't say
the words. Mike will be the coach next year, which would really calm
all that down and shut it up. Even asked that straight up. He's
pretty ambiguous. I don't know if he's messing up. I was reading one
quick thing on Nick Saban and Earns in a rush to sort of who's next.
No, no, well, yeah, of course that, but just
the shocking numbers and success of this dude. I read this, I can't
get out of my head. Every single player recruited by Saban at Alabama who
played four years won a national title. Not amazing. That is unbelievable.
I mean it doesn't include I guess the current players, but that's wouldn't apply
now. He way more respect for Belichick than he with Saban, just because
the Bilichick is less of a jerk than Saban. In my estimation, Saban
does strike you as a guy who was real but hurt. I always had
took a little bit, no not offense to this, but I was like,
thought it was real eye rolly when he would make comments about not paying
college amateurs, you know, because it'll mess up the system and then transfer
portal, which is happening. But it's like, how come they can't get
paid but you can go get paid by doing a Guico commercial, right.
I don't like that. So, you know, he kind of gained the
system a little bit for years because you know, Alabama was probably, or
at least it's possible that they were taking part in some illegal transactions for football
players. It's been happening in college football forever. Yeah, I know.
Now it's all even playing field, like can you sustain it? I saw
some of the names of the Oregon coach Lanning, the Washington coach DeBoer,
and then there's a pring it through the other big juicy Vegas odds type of
rumor was for who might get that job? Do you think anybody would pull
a Harball and go from the pro ranks down to that position? See,
I mean Harbaugh wants to go to the pros. A bunch of guys get
fired recently. Yeah, but do you even know how to do that whole?
Do you know how to do that life? You know, the college
recruiting lit I wonder there's a big distinction between what those guys do and what
they do in the NFL. For sure. You know who would make sense?
Now he's doing graded Texas and Texas going to the SEC Sarkeisian would have
made since there, Lane Kiffin had all those ties there, and it's almost
like they have had a head coach in waiting. Bill O'Brien might make sense
of all these Alabama assistant coaches who have spent a whole time in the NFL
too, But I don't know, there's there's a lot of there's a lot
of things to discuss there. Forty four first round picks in seventeen seasons he
produced, I would have thought, did not lie to them kids. You
know how some coaches walk in the living rooms and say whatever you want to
hear. I mean, granted you're Alabama, but have Emma kind of sucked
in the years prior they had that down turn where they were not good?
Yeah? And then I saw this, maybe not his first year, one
of his first years, when they lost to T Bow and the Gators.
That's the only SEC championship game he lost, damn and then just never lost
again after that in the SEC title game. But forty four first round picks
in seventeen years, I mean, if you're a big school, what's your
what's a good number? Two first round picks? Three? I mean,
I know some years you have six or seven. Alabama's had like crazy numbers.
The University of Miami's had some big numbers. Two but threes three is
outstanding. Yeah, so two is like hell, yeah, we had two
first round picks. Yes, we had forty four in seventeen years. A
school like Texas Tech has had a first rounder of the last two years and
it's like game changing, and it's up there recruiting and matters. It's interesting
to see for them. And then Alabama routinely five guys you can talk about
might go first round every year. Yeah, NonStop sales, big news,
obviously, and I want to kind of keep the football thing going. We
have a little fun at nine o'clock. Dating apps are on the decline,
Okay, the next generation might not be into it. Gotta have some fun
studies there. But also we could take your calls two and four, eight
seven seven eight seven. If you have any wild if you have any wild
dating app stories, go ahead, let's do we have our types. Today's
edition of the Super Wild Card Pump Session come on Thursday, the second day,
brought to you by Rodney Anderson dot com. How about that? Thank
you, Rodney. I went through call Rodney three sleeps, three sleeps.
I went to the Packers Cowboys playoff history. They've played eight times in the
playoffs in the playoffs and record four and four. Oh, this is technically
the super Bowl on Sunday. This is for the the Golden Cheese. It's
for the McCarthy Cup, the Cowboy cheese hat. Yeah, do you have
a cheese hat? Yes? He does growing up right now now, you
couldn't find one either at your current home or at your parents' house in the
nineties. I bet if they still have it. Yeah, dude, you
could have been thrown out if I got a warrant to search your folks ranch
in all would I find a cheese Would I find a cheese answered, Danny,
Uh, you might. Would I find one in the air tractor hanger?
It's a legit question. I will ask my mom and see if she
wrote rummage through a closet or two and see if because it's very possible.
Okay, yes, with all my old guitars. January first, nineteen sixty
seven was the first playoff game here and this was Super Bowl one. Conference
championship game winner takes on the Chiefs in Super Bowl one and Green Bay won
that game. Thirty four to twenty seven. But as Vince Lombardi versus Tom
Landry and this game took place where here in town Cotton Bowl, it was
kind of nuts to think about. I know I'll ever have it. I
still support one home game a year for the Cowboys of the Cotton I mean
it'd be like the Winter Challenge or every other year, even like on the
years that you have nine home games rather than eight, I would pay it
would be outstanding, more than I would pay to go see them at Jerry
World. If they played one game in fair Park, one game a year,
it would be so cool. What does it hold one hundred thousand people?
Yeah? Does it? Yeah? I mean yeah, close to it.
This is the Texas game. Yeah, that game bart Star four touchdown
passes three and four yards, kind of modern day passing line. So the
Packers go to Super Bowl one. They beat the Chiefs. Game two December
thirty first, nineteen sixty seven, Lambeau Field. Your kickoff temperature negative thirteen
degrees. That sounds nice. Your real field negative twenty three. Jesus,
you know what Jesus Packers got? That guy was right fourteen. Nothing is
that. The Ice Bowl is the Ice Bowl Cowboys fought back seventeen fourteen,
and you know the story. Third and goal at the one, and here's
what happened. JJ, we've taken up my audio here. Here we go.
Call those the signals. He peeps in himself and then another thirteen.
None of the packers had any idea that Star would run the ball on the
play designed for the full back. I took off fully expected to get the
ball. A couple of things are going through my mind, but the most
important one was don't assist him into the end zone. And I couldn't pull
up because it was so icy, so I threw my hands up in the
air like this. So the very famous picture looks as if I'm signaling touchdown.
What I'm honestly signaling is to any referee that was watching, I did
not push him in the end zone, which would have been a penalty,
which would have negated everything my house football is ch Jim Taylor's talking about.
I would have penolized. I couldn't touch him. But it is funny I
was watching that. I don't remember it too much. I'm glad he left
that in. He throws his hands up, he is he's clearly doing the
no shoot hands, you know, oh yeah, there it is. Look
at that he's yeah, I know, he just put his hands up because
he want approved. He's not pushing him. That's crazy. It looks like
he was great saying touchdown, he's in and thirteen seconds left. That's the
thing with that time though. The Packers don't think had any timeout. So
his third and goal, they knew it was all in. They wouldn't have
been able to unpile. You know, people are slower back then to the
reference were jogging in there to get the ball. They would have been able
to do the fourth down play. Sure, and uh yeah. So Packers
when they go on and they went Super Bowl two over the Raiders. Was
Jerry Kramer off sides. I watched the clip about three or four times and
he there's no false start. But the was the argument that he was offside,
that there was a false start off side, But they kept watching it
and I was like, it looks like a normal play. But have you
ever We interviewed Jerry Kramer about that a long time ago and he said some
crazy stuff like what that that cat, Papa, I'm I'm serious. It
was kind of close to that. What was amazing about it has been in
skin didn't know what he said, and they had a real fake laugh after
it. I'm gonna find you. It's hilarious. It's so funny, said
Jerry Cramer. We're the only negative thing we've ever heard is a guy in
Dallas as I was offside at the Ice Bowl, which of course isn't true.
I got a great start. I wasn't off side. He got a
great start. It's cool to hear the John Fashinda. Oh yeah, the
pipes. Can you imagine what our ratings would be if we all had pipes
like him? You do? You have incredible pipes like that guy? You
do a John Facinda. And here's some football. That was water burger ball.
That's basically it's back to Hamburgers again. Yeah, it's the Hamburger Hour.
On the down beat eight to nine, tune in Daily Force Slices a
real ground beef. Jerry Kramer was offside touchdown? Stupid? What a football
game? What a football game? That's not what he's confused? All right,
So what Packers are two and ol at this point? At this all
right, we need some dubs. Game three eighteen, nineteen eighty three,
nineteen eighty two season. They went fifteen years without being in the playoffs.
This game's at Texas Stadium. Cowboys are seven point favorites. Bart Stars,
the head coach of the Packers. At this point Cowboys forgotten that. I
didn't know that. Cowboys won thirty seven to twenty six Tony Dorset ninety nine
yards rushing. Oh, I thought it was you were saying nine to nine
yard run. I think that was against was anythingst Minnesota. It was a
Monday night game, right this Vikings. I feel like that is right what
you just said. Cowboys would lose the next game to Washington, who ended
up beating the Dolphins in the Super Bowl. Was some tough early eighties redskin
teams back there. Yeah. Is that the Doug Williams years or am I
early? That was before? Oh? Yeah? It was Riggins and Riggins,
the Diesel and Art Monk, yep Art and Monk. Game four,
so it's two to one now. Game four, January sixteen, nineteen ninety
four, Chixas Stadium and Cowboys were thirteen and a half point fair, Yes,
and they smoked him. They got up twenty four to three. They
won twenty seven to seventeen. Michael Irvin nine catches one hundred and twenty six
yards, and then they would go on to beat the forty nine ers at
Candlestick and then the Bills in the Super Bowl thirty to thirteen. Brett Farv,
right, Brett Farv and that, Yeah, Brett Favre could not slay
the Texas Stadium dragon. He just never was it never could. Now,
real quick, here's the Jerry Kramer thing. So I don't forget okay,
so we don't want to go too far. I want you to listen to
Ben and Skin's reaction at the end after he says, after he says,
nothing wacko stuff I've ever heard in my life. Uh, and it's gonna
be heard on ninety seven one The Freak, The Home of the MAVs.
Mister A concentration period of college students, five minutes high school, the free
minutes kindergarten at thirty seconds. You don't have that, So where does that
put you? Oh? My god, is itsy? The fig laugh after
the pause is even worse because you're like it now. But what is he
saying? Concentration period of college students, five minutes, high school, the
free minutes kindergartener, thirty seconds. You don't have that. Where's that put
you? Buskins? Oh man, right in the head? Man, you
bet, I don't know what he said. That is super one more I
need it Levatomy laughs. Mister oh sorry, I'll play it all because I
want to decode Jerry Kramer. Mister concentration period of college students, five minutes,
high school the free minutes kindergartener thirty seconds. You don't have that,
and where's that put you? Okay, God, that's amazing wrestler being interviewed.
I remember sitting there going. I was like, it does only a
wrestler warming his voice up for a promo, and he didn't think they started
recording yet. That is beautiful. Head. Give that the last reaction.
She shaved her head off, hang the head. I don't know so January
fifth, I'm sorry. January eighth, nineteen ninety five. Two. Come
on. I was actually at this game as a six year old. The
Cowboys had already beat the Packers in the regular season by twelve. They smoked
him in this game, thirty five to nine. Janova check eleven catches for
one hundred and four yards. Cowboys would go on and lose to San Francisco
next week, and San Francisco and Steve Young beat the Chargers in Super Bowl
twenty nine. Expect a big game from Ferguson on Sunday. Always huge.
Oh, he's a head close to it, close to one hundred yard day
for him. Mark it down, Okay, mark it down today, March,
mark it down, hot predictions. He couldn't wait till tomorrow shows game
six. So it's three two Cowboys Game six. January fourteenth, nineteen ninety
six NFC Championship Game, Texas Stadium. Michael Orvin had two first quarter touchdowns.
If you remember, there's a long delay in the second quarter because the
Packers wide receiver coach Gil Haskell got hit on the sideline. You may not
remember this that and it is. You know, you remember how concrete Texas
Stadium was. We thought that he was dead here, and I think it
was pretty close. Here's Pat Sumraw and John Madden on the call down that
goes. Here's five, not much. There's someone down on the other side
of that fan got hit right into the fan. I'm not even sure it's
a player you're gonna see right here. Brooks gets the ball and he gets
hit out of mound. What when Darren Woodson delivers a blow, you don't
get up until you they are about five yards outside. The score is tied
at seventeen. Mike Holmgren the head coach, and you can just see that
the fans here were into the football game. Then when Gil Haskell was injured,
I think that took a lot of these fans out of the football game.
Took a lot of everyone out of the game. It was a long
delay. I mean there are five minutes of the second quarter. It was
like a thirty minute delay. Yeah, because he is an older guy,
right, yeah, the older guy, and he got hit and his head
like full force, the back of his head hit the concrete. I'm watching
it right now. Oh yeah, he had got hit like in the front
of his Yes, and it did though the whip trebuchet whip and Darren Woodson
does not Like he makes the tackle on Robert Brooks and Darren Woodson is standing
there kind of freaking out. Yeah, Like you know, nowadays, it
feels like you just see the players run back onto the field. They don't.
Oh, they're not as as violent, man, They're not as remorseful
as I feel like they should be. When they hit these guys. Not
their fault. They hit these guys on the sideline. Darren Woodson is like
panicking just in there, like you could tell he thought he did bad.
He's just making a clean town. Oh yeah, of course, but it's
still scary. That field was so concrete, you know. Yeah, game
held up for ten minutes. He had a skull fracture. Oh right,
yes, broke his head. Yeah, I mean not even the not even
the doctor and the cowboy hat can fix that. No. Cowboys led twenty
four to seventeen at halftime. They put them in the way, put them
away at the second half him and had three rushing touchdowns. But the trophy
presentation of this day is pretty wild. And let's start with a little bit
because I think it's kind of funny when you hear James Brown throw it down
to Jerry Jones and they talk about the TV shows they're promoting on Fox at
this point, But then the Jerry Jones is getting interviewed by Terry Bradshaw.
It's pretty funny. Following his postgame show It'll be Space, I'll above and
Beyond, followed by the Simpsons. By the way, it's gonna sound weird.
It was recorded off a TV on his YouTube and the marriage with children
at Man and Stacey. All of that coming your way in is entirely except
on the West coast. And right now we've got some championship proceedings thinking down
in the field. Let's go down field side and join Arry Bradshaw to present
the Georgias Pallas Trophy to owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones. The
Georgis Pallas Trophy. I know coach Dallas had this Dallas Cowboy team in my
I'm not offensive line ekman, Emmitt Smith. I want to congratulate the Green
Bay Packers all. You got an outstanding team. Green Bay fans, I'm
gleave really all are proud of what you've done. NFC. We're gonna do
the best to represent you. Great to be here at Texas Stadium in Irvin
for fans to say this boy, hadn't football changed thirty years ago? You
weren't thinking about representing the NFC. Low We got refews at the NFC.
But that is year two or three of you know, NFL Sunday ticket and
football being out there, people learning more about all these teams. A large
sport thanks to Jerry, Now you are looking to give the trophy now to
Barry Switzer. There's some indication now for Paris Switzer, head coach of the
Cowboys. I never with that. I've never looked for that, Terry.
All I want is something that is happening to day for this football team.
And so a jutiful football team, a lot of great young men, a
lot of character. I've never been to the big one. They told him,
it's a lot of fun. We've got something else to do, and
I'm looking forward to it, Okay. And then they finds Michael Irvin and
this is so good. This is pro wrestler level involving the crowd. And
at the end of this clip, while Michael Evern's talking Jerry Jones, it's
a cutaway of Jerry Jones picking up his wife Jeane unexpectedly almost breaking her bag
by even coming up and giving her a whiplash by picking her up and swooping
her that her blue baton go flying off to the forty yard line. Michael
Irvin, though, is such a pro here involving the fans. Yeah,
I'll tell you why too. Not knowing me get on new players play be
I mean, if you was here, you've felt did you felt electricity in
the air? The electricity I heard that. I mean, if you was
here, you've felt did you feel electricity in the air? And all the
things they may be. We're going home, Terry, and I want to
say this now, don't nobody deserve him more? And on here called Mary
Swiss. He take all, he take all on the line and here we're
going home. Right. That is so boy. We talked about that so
much for a week. We going home. It's we all go to Elmer
Fudd to uh your comments? We are we happy about the electwicity add that

pump session like the last two games or nuts too, including des Bryant in

last two playoff games go between these two teams. They had some cool stuff
from that coming up at nine thirty. Coming up next though, we're calling
this KT's key party and the once you'd call in two and four eight one
seven seven, eight seven one nine seven one seven eight seven one nine seven
