This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak one hour.
We're gonna do the Golden Globes giveaway. You have a chance to win a
mystery prize from US. A mystery prize sounds fun. You'll team up with
one of us. We'll fill out a little ballot for the Golden Gloves,
which happens Sunday night. Plus amazing. All the crap these famous people get
to go to these award shows is ridiculous. Okay, So this just came
out the top one hundred from a rating standpoint or audience standpoint, TV shows
of or TV programming, Top one hundred came out. Ninety three of these
things are NFL games rated yeah, or viewers and rating yeah, the top
one hundred most watched US TV broadcast of the last year. Yes, ninety
three of these were football games. All right, let's go through the games.
Let's start guessing November. Okay, Well, my question for you is
what are the other ninety three or NFL games that leave you seven NFL games
that are in the top one hundred most watched things of the last year.
Yes, uh, well, are we gonna ask you how many of the
seven are are sports that would be a couple college football National Championship like it,
Yes, TCU and Georgia was number seventy four, okay, and then
that was a blowout, so no one, you know, college football Final
four playoff game, you're close on that, but it's gonna be the SEC
Championship, which was number seventy one. Alabama Georgia was actually ahead of TCU
Georgia of the UH natty and then also Big ten football Michigan, Ohio State
was number fifty eight. Okay, they were left with four left four and
there's sports. No more college football, yes, no more sports, actually
no more sports okay, uh oscars, Yes, ninety fifth Annual Academy Awards
was number sixty just ahead of Monday Night Football Week seven vikings forty nine es.
I mean, did that bad Cowboys game which they wiped out the Panthers,
it was number sixty five one. Random was there like a State of
the Union. I was gonna say politics or number twenty one, right there?
State of the Union address number twenty one. And maybe a lot of
those ratings are audiences because they put it on all major network h that's exactly
and by default. But yes, so that leaves you with two more,
two more. Dude, We're doing really good. We have ninety eight out
of one hundred so far. I'm gonna guess episode seven of night Court the
New night Jean Larroquette, the New night Court. I'm sorry, episode six,
though I'm gonna assume none of it's like a network TV show or about
There's gotta be something you got, Yeah, like a big season event premiere.
You're on the right track. But here's the problem with this masked singer.
It's got to be masked singer. Next Level Chef, really, is
that right? Which? I wonder though? Next Level Chef episode twelve,
I wonder is that one that might have aired after the super Bowl? That's
the one where Gordon Ramsay yells yeah kids, Yeah, I think they aired
that after the super Bowl. Okay, that's where you have it. And
last one, I'll tell you something that happens uh in the morning, Uh
Macy's Thanksgiving Rade number forty. Do they typically have a New Year's Day parade?
Rose? The Rose Parade? Okay? Because I couldn't find it on
New Year's Day. I was looking for a parade and I didn't start talk
noon. You think MALKI would like a nice parade. I thought maybe it'd
be something other than effing blippy cosh car wash YouTube video car Wash. Yeah,
it was car wash in the top one. I see car wash.
It was on my freaking YouTube most watched. I can see kids like in
parades. I was home for Thanksgiving and we had the damn Macy's parade on.
All this so so boring and they had share perform. Yeah, No,
it's it's a rough it's a tough watch. Broker just freaking out the
whole time. That job of doing play by play of a parade has got
to be the most thankless piece of work that any media person would have to
be saddled. Well, there's like four of them up there, and they're
just kind of being wacky and family friendly. But they have a little note
card for every like float or band that comes by, you know, so
they have a little bit of built in info there that helps them get through
the day. As you're a kid, you think it's about the floats.
You think it's about hot Smoky Bear running through you know, New York and
the As you become desensitized to life, when you're an adult and you realize
it's just a promotion for Broadway. You start going, oh, it's fun.
And for Macy's twenty one Cowboys games in the top one hundred games.
I mean, it's like their whole schedule will be a top one hundred thing
watched. It's amazing. Like I know, there's some tipping point we always
talk about, you know, we said yesterday, you know, just buy
any sports franchise and it'll go up. It's like real estate, but far
safer. Does that apply to television rights for football? I don't think it
does. There has to be some formula and some brilliant people that figure this
out and they pay billions, right, I mean all networks combined. Oh
hell yeah. But how can you go wrong by having NFL rights? And
how wasn't there a game was just last week? Was it exclusively on Peacock?
Yeah? It was a Thursday night, Saturday night game Saturday Chargers bills.
Okay, and I have Peacocks, I have everything. But that's very
interesting, you know that. And they put the a team on there on
PERP and it was Peacock's obviously the NBC, but and they have the pregame
stuff on NBC and then they just shut her down. The game before them
was on NBC too, so it was like a Saturday NBC double header,
but only one of those games is on actual NBC, which was an NBC
game. They promote tonight, go to Peacock, Go to Peacock. The
game will only be on Peacock tonight. And I remember it was I think
Collinsworth's kid, and they were trying to sell it. Yeah, and he's
like, I mean, Josh Allen tonight, I mean five bucks, okay,
only plus every episode of Parks and Red right, Yeah, buthch,
I guess is that the monthly? I don't even know. I should know
because you're gonna have it. But that's just a wild move to put I
mean, hell, when they start putting them on Amazon Prime a year a
couple of years ago. Yeah, more than none. And you know what's
happened. I would say thirty percent of the people that look, God,
I guess I'll download the app and sign up, and you forget, they're
still paying for it and they've not watched another thing on it. Yeah,
you forget. Yeah. In twenty twenty, seventy two NFL games from the
top one hundred. In twenty twenty one, seventy five NFL games from the
top one hundred in twenty twenty two, eighty two games this year, ninety
three. So the last four years seventy two, seventy five, eighty two,
ninety three. It doesn't stop. People said ten years ago that it
would stop. Don Man themselves whole. I ain't watching anymore. When they
start kneeling, I ain't coming backs. They lost me. We'll grap about
refs and stuff. Dude, you look at that refcals from last night,
from last week. You know what, that was more interesting. It's all
more interesting. It just adds. It's everything they do adds fuel to fire
because they know that knuckleheads like us are going to spend segments talking about it
every day for a week. I think. I mean, if you consider
the what's seventy something in twenty twenty, twenty nineteen, whatever you just said,
that increase, I think can be attributed to gambling a little bit in
the legality of gambling pop upstate by state and mobile gambling. Yes, I
agree, and that's what pushes it to the next stratus. I agree,
And parody includes every single market because your team at some point is going to
have a run and goes to the playoffs. Don't have any teams missing the
playoffs for fifteen years straight in the NFL then that happened. Are they Are
they going to add NFL teams? I don't think so. Do you think
we're well close to expansion? I think I hadn't thought about it. But
just as what we just said, I mean, once you bump your head
against the billions and billion dollar ceiling, which maybe they're not even doing.
I don't know why the forty NFL teams. The reason they're not is because
there's not enough quarterbacks. Well, I mean they've got enough. There's enough
athletes and football players in the world to where they mergered two you know,
secondary leagues together. Right. But that's why we I've said this for a
while, We as society are not addicted to football. No, no,
no, No're addicted to the NFL to college to college football, yes,
and it's very different. But all these executives keep thinking there, oh my
god, they're addicted football. We need more football. They keep trying these
leagues and no one cares. And I wonder, if you're right, if
it's just rooted in there, is that really it? There's just not enough
quarterbacks. I think that's part of it. And I think if they were
to expand, their expansion process would be global. Not okay, yeah,
it would be we're going to go try to put a team in London,
and we're put it in Mexico City. And that's why they're doing that.
Germany, you know, like il Nius, Lithuania. Yeah, maybe maybe
Lithuania go to team, but not enough quarterbacks. And when they added the
extra game, you're seeing more injuries. Just by one game, you're seeing
more injuries. This year's been the wildest year of quarterback injuries I've ever seen.
And I'm not being superlative there. Rogers Sean Watson the most rookie quarterbacks
to start games in the NFL. Ever, Yeah, I believe me crazy,
But there's that. I did a hour long deep dive yesterday just on
my own time about the influx of Polynesian players in the NFL. Was this
like at halftime, have you putting together your puzzle? I did do a
jigsaw puzzle for four hours. It just has pencils on it. It's very
relaxing and fun. Uh, next week or sometime, if it even fits.
I think it's really interesting because like in the NBA you get these European
players, You're like, wow, we have Argentinians and you know, Slovenians.
Whatever. I think, almost under our very eyes, the influx of
Polynesian influence in the NFL has not been appreciated like tons and this year because
Tua Tuga, Bailoa Pukakua and Penna Suel, yeah are all Pro bowlers.
We always thought of Troy Paula mallin and that's it what Troy paul mal exactly.
But there's Kevin Mawai. You know, there's a handful of like of
ones that you've heard of dating back for quite a while. And then I
looked at the mock draft for year I'm sorry whatever, I looked up them
of some a one mock draft for next year's NFL draft, right, So
iways just trying to keep an eye on it. Six projected Polynesian players or
players of Polynesian descent, including that Fashanu the tackle from Penn State. He's
probably gonna go top five, edge rusher from UCLA, another tackle Oregon State.
Another three more interior lineman and edge rusher Ohio State, two mile Lowa.
Basically twenty percent of the first round this year just projected in one thing
will be Polynesian player. That's crazy, and then three Pro bowlers this year,
and then some legends you know, in in league history. I don't
know, I feel like it's something that we don't notice or even appreciate as
much as it probably should should be. Does man tied Tao count well,
he counts as a Polynesian player yet? Yeah, well the Rangers are not
in Polynesian night they might be, you know. So what I'm saying like,
how do you celebrate this by talking about it? Yeah? I guess
I don't mean maybe, I don't mean celebrate, have a parade. I
think it's really cool that a sport as big as we just laid out ninety
two of the you know, most watched television shows has that significant of an
impact from a kind of a region of players that not a football players,
right American there's hundreds of nations that are completely unrepresented, underrepresented, and yeah,
not a lot of Asian football players, not a ton, not a
ton. Crazy. I mean, who comes to mind that win? That
win? But you know, American football is big in America and a little
bit globally, but not as big Americans. It goes back to football,
which we've talked about before. The next influx will be Eastern Euros yep,
and i'd say Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Russians, Lucas, basically everyone
that shows up in your World's Strongest Man competition. But for some reason have
figured out how to have a pipeline to some college to be like, all
right, hey, we're gonna take a bunch of Lotvians like Marcus Hunt.
Yeah, we had this conversation before, but let's ran through our predictions right
now. Calaris commanders Spicy Hot Predictions. We go to the Ghost Pepper Pavilion
every week. Here we go. We'll record these plan back on Monday.
I'll go first, guys, Scorching Hot Predictions, KT prediction one good luck
after the stat was on Earth this week that the Cowboys are ten and oh
and Brandon Cooks has twenty yards or more and oh to five. When he
has under twenty yards, they make sure to get him the rock early and
often, as he has at least twenty yards receiving on the first drive of
the game. Okay, happened in one catch they could you handle up on
it? The way Dak's been more willing to go downfield early in games.
Let's go that's a pretty It's possible, but it's a little there's a little,
a little kick to it. But somebody's being a point slut to the
someone's trying to be a point slut. In last week of the regular season,
Little Baby KK and third leg Greg on the Fox broadcasting team will comment
on how bad the amenities are at FedEx Field and then bring up the allegations
against former owner Daniel Snyder and specifically the time he fled authorities by hiding out
on his yacht. Get ready for that could get ready for the third quarter?
Wow, if it happens at all, I think it's two points.
If it happens in the third quarter, two and a half points. He's
probably hiding out his yacht, all right, Greg? Two minutes left in
the third quarter, the third quarter, I don't get the reference. KK
Kevin prediction three. After the Cowboys double digit victory, full back Hunter Lipke
and safety j Ron Curse will grab the gatorade can and creep up behind Mike
McCarthy, dousing him in purple colored gatorade. But the very focus Mike McCarthy
is surprised by having the liquid poured on him in the forty five degree weather,
and out of self defense, he quickly turns around and snaps, punching
lip key right on the mouth. McCarthy would later tell the media in the
postgame press conference that he thought it was an introrectionist trying to take America back,
and he was just defending his right to have bare arms. Very specific
I like it suppecially to be nails. The quote it's a lot, it's
a lot going on, bear arm l knows what little boat? Did you
look up the projected temperature in your forty five degrees? Is that? What
did you look it up? Yeah? Because in their snowstorm hitting that area,
they're calling it a Northerner No, what are they calling it? A
U Yeah? What do they call it? Thing? I don't know,
and Northeastern I don't know. Down Easter election, Yeah, the kind of
blizzard is alleged. Uh, the Giants Eagles game has a chance of snow,
Yeah, but not art not Cowboys. Didn't see a chance of that
right now in the latest trip that I looked up two hours ago. But
if you look at it, there's always a chance. Oh, it was
a small chance if you think about it. Yeah, Danny Okay. Cowboys
Commander's prediction Week eighteen, Good luck number one. America will be treated to
unexpected nudity when offensive coordinator Eric b Enemy's rogue testicle will slip out of his
tight coaching shorts as part of his personal commando for the Commander's celebration. He's
trying to get the head coach job. He's not wearing underway. He's trying
to get the head coaching job. He's not gonna let a nut fall out
as far as a campaign that he's doing and going to be wearing tight coaching
shorts forty five degrees. This is a franchise seventy nine. The franchise had
a lot of allegations and appropriate allegations. Take one to the bank, ye
number two. The Dallas Cowboys equipment manager comes under fire for packing bass guitars
and synthesizers to DC instead of football gear after mistakenly hearing that this was a
Commodores concert instead of a commander's game. From listening to Drew Pearson on the
Downbeat yesterday, Waited said that four times I don't know if he was joking
or not by the end the dip of calling them, calling them the old
name, and then I mean the Commodores. I like calling the Commodorees.
That's what kind of cool, that's kind of cool, and finally that's amazing.
Quarterback Sam Howell will be arrested on murder charges at halftime Jesus following following
new DNA testing which secures a warrant from the FBI after a strand of his
armpit hair is linked to a string of cold case killings in the Annapolis area.
Murder at halftime the rest of at half time, well, Jacoby rests
warming up, warming up, same hall, talking to some black suited officials.
Seems to the tunnel and the tunnel and bracelets. They put bracelets on
him. I think you got a real shot some of those days. I
agree. Here in the Ghost Pepper Pavilion, or make our spiciest predictions for
what you're gonna see in the Cowboys UH Commodorees game this Sunday, Big Mike
all ready, the month's long drought is over, as Micah Parsons will draw
not one, but two holding penalties in this game. Okay, because the
Cowboys need to get paid back by the refs. You're getting a free game
last week? Pretty sure too. Sleepy Joe, President Joe Biden will be
in attendance at this game what and accidentally wander onto the field and get trucked
by Commander Safety Terrell Burgess. Trucked maybe all the way into the Potomac.
They just see the highlights. Sleepy Joe, he was flying, sleepwalking,
middle of the day. Not fit to be president. Terrell Burgess, great
player, one of my favorite players. Loved He'll be rescue safely from the
Potomac River. Prediction three yay. This game will begin in the and in
the first quarter will have really surprisingly bad ratings, and then the network will
just start promoting the game and getting word out to people that they didn't even
know the game was on. Ratings will start to creep up as people start
realizing these guys really work hard, they're really good at what they do,
and this game is really fun. And then by the end of the game,
well we'll get good ratings and with the network and all the players will
be happy and laugh about how rough things were at the beginning, and then
everything worked out great for everyone because in the end, good things happen to
good people right down there. I try to write, copy and paste that
and send it to Kevio so he doesn't have to write all that down.
Okay, well I don't have it written down, so I don't know off
top where I would copy and paste it from. We will record those as
we just did, replay them on Monday, see if anyone gets any points,
and we will be a chock full of Cowboys Commander's NFL coverage on Monday,
and we might preview the National Championship game on Monday that you can see
at Alamo Draft House cinemat Lake Islands. Coming next though, it's Dingo's Morning
News. What could possibly go wrong when a Peloton instructor decides to give an
impromptu movie review during one of her sessions in
