The Lake 32 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:22.879 Highlands location for Almo Drafthouse seven thirty five, Scuttle about a few more details 33 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.199 in the MAVs sale, plus a plenty of other things that we're tracking. 34 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.360 When it comes to day news, Chris Jericho joins us live in studio at 35 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:38.080 nine to ten this morning. But right now, let's do this. Let's 36 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:55.240 go and now the sports at seven. If you're a fan of the AMC 37 00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:02.039 original series mad Men, and you love this succulent flavor of savory holiday meats, 38 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:09.039 then this Christmas serve your family. John's Ham John's Ham is the creation 39 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:15.199 of award winning Hollywood actor John Ham, and he is teamed up with Klein's 40 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:22.280 Swines, a pig farm owned by other noted actor Kevin Klein. This collaboration 41 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.439 results in the most flavorful, tender, juicy, and expensive hams on the 42 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.520 market. And don't forget if your ham goes bad, you can drill a 43 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:38.319 hole in it if your girlfriend's out of town. Do you like ham? 44 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:45.479 Thank you? John's Ham. I didn't know that he had teamed up with 45 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:53.360 noted actor Kevin Kleine. Kevin Kleine, he has a pig production farm. 46 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:59.240 I call you that Klein's Swines, And where could they have cross paths, 47 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.919 Hollywood, bro. And that's leaving out the drilling thing. Let's not talk 48 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:08.080 about that part. I think that was just a bad copy point that got 49 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:15.360 forgot to get deleted. What's up, Kevin Sports. Let's start with what 50 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.759 happened last night because we can talk MAVs in a second. They got a 51 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.839 big win. You know, it was too mass first that Troy Aiateman Audio, 52 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.920 Troy Aateman was pissed on the broadcast last night for Monday Night Football for 53 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.839 a number of reasons. And I got that for you in a second. 54 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.279 How about the Derek Lively line? Do you like that? Dude? I 55 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:39.439 was thinking about it. When's the last time like a Mavericks player has done 56 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.639 something like that, Like a MAVs big man has done something like that, 57 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.879 Like a week ago, didn't he have like it was twelve and fourteen, 58 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.879 Well he follows that up this week sixteen sixteen and two, eight for nine 59 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.240 from the field. I mean at the half he was close to sixteen and 60 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.959 sixteen. Yeah, when I checked, it was late third quarter and Luca 61 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.240 already had like twenty nine points. But yeah, Derek Lively had already was 62 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:09.920 in double digits and points and rebounds by the half, I believe. Yeah, 63 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:15.839 And there's something also speaking of Luca, who was just playing. I 64 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:20.240 don't know. I feel like it did when Dirk was in his prime, 65 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:29.279 that every every game, you'd come in here and talk about something that you 66 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.480 shouldn't be getting used to. Yeah, you know, we're gonna take this 67 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:38.279 kid for granted, and we shouldn't because he's playing at such an elevated level. 68 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:45.279 Since he added the headband, he's become even more trolling. He did 69 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.839 you see him do a step back on the defensive Player of the Year and 70 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.800 when the and when Homie hit the ground right before Luca took the shot, 71 00:05:54.040 --> 00:06:00.319 he just kind of glanced down at him and went, he's gotten super he's 72 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.879 swagger. Yeah, he's right, he's got It's like, yeah, that's 73 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.519 that's the word for it. But he's different than like in the middle of 74 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.600 a play. Yeah, it's different than like even when he's a rookie in 75 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.319 a second year, like I'm really good and uh, I act like I'm 76 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:20.319 good. It's way different than that. Now it's like purposefully like he getting 77 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:26.600 mean yeah, which you know I like because that doesn't need to be taken 78 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.680 out of the refs all the time where we have suspensions because we have too 79 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.319 many technicals right it's now like I'm not taking s from anyone. And on 80 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.399 nightside last night, it's tough to win in Memphis sometimes. But they're not 81 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.759 a very good team right now, and won't mean to get John Rant back 82 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.879 to have Tim Hardaway out and learning of that ten minutes before the game starts. 83 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:54.959 They might have known, but we didn't know. Kyrie get stepped on 84 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.959 the other night. He heard his foot. It doesn't seem serious, so 85 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.360 he'll be back soon. Grant Williams has been out for a while. He's 86 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.959 been out for a while. Josh Green's been out for a while. So 87 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.920 it's like, okay, well who's how you get points tonight? It needs 88 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:12.560 to be Luca and then maybe someone else because usually that's gonna fold to Tim 89 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:17.920 Hardaway Junior if Kyrie's out and then Tim can't go, so Luca goes and 90 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.879 the Mavericks have a just a killer first half and put the game away. 91 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:26.519 I get close at the end because and the Mavericks are letting laws and play 92 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.800 a lot. When Morris gets into a game, you're like, aah, 93 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.519 man, that's good. That means the Mavericks are destroying someone or maybe they're 94 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:38.639 getting destroyed. Rookie Omax prospers starting to get playing tim but you're rookie Derek 95 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.759 Lively. To me, that's the story last night. Outside of Luca just 96 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.920 being traditional Luca with thirty five points, I mean to have someone who can 97 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:53.759 go do what he's doing every night. He's a double double candidate. And 98 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:58.199 finally, you know, and Black Powell was actually okay as a room runner 99 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.279 until he tore his achilles. Yeah, and it's like that that explosion is 100 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.920 not there, but we just throw it up there. And Derek Clively's got 101 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:11.839 you, and he's got good hands. And it's really those comparisons to Tyson 102 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.800 Chandler. I always kind of I saw those and I was like, I 103 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.120 don't know, I don't like that, Like oh, hearing that's cool, 104 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.480 but like Phil Early and you watch it and go, he's doing the things 105 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.439 that Tyson Chandler did a little bit different level, different body type, and 106 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.360 not as you know, at that level yet playing good defense, like wrote 107 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.480 in an average are not a good defensive team. They're near the back of 108 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.480 the league in defense, but it ain't nothing like having a Christian Wood on 109 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.200 the floor over everything is thrown off because you have one guy not doing his 110 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:48.600 job, but Derek Clively is doing his job. Yeah, I don't love. 111 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:50.720 I love. I was seeing on that line of sixteen sixteen just a 112 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.159 shocking big number. I was like, you have to go back years probably 113 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.960 to find a big man who's done that for them for that and maybe DeAndre 114 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.360 Jordan did that a couple of times as a big rebounder, yeah, but 115 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.960 not consistently, but I don't know the last Maverick like big man to go 116 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:11.759 get sixteen and sixteen ridiculous. So big win last night, and good that 117 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:18.759 you could let some other guys play because it was also a travel day, 118 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.159 Danning. We gotta travel, we gotta get home. We got an early 119 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.639 start tonight National TV. And you can hear it, of course here on 120 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.600 the Freak. It is the Lakers in town and what is one of, 121 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.080 if not the biggest ticket of the year, right, I mean this is 122 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.279 especially now he's getting older, go see Lebron. Yeah those last few years 123 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.000 of Jordan. Oh yeah, it was like, am I gonna go get 124 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.240 tickets for this thing? Now? I was a kid. Did you ever 125 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.000 see Jordan play. No. I didn't either, No, and I regret 126 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.960 it. Man, I never did. As many times as he rolled through 127 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.559 here, What wasn't a tone? You know? Yeah? Never got to, 128 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.519 never got to. And I was a big fan. Loved him, 129 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:05.600 absolutely loved him. Lakers are pretty good, you know. They obviously just 130 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:11.480 went to to the end season turney, you know, but uh, you 131 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.200 know the Mavericks are I mean, oh yeah, Mavers fourteen and eighth. 132 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.320 The Lakers are fourteen and nine. Is there any chance Kyrie placed tonight or 133 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.960 no? I don't. I don't think so. I haven't seen that from 134 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.440 a MAVs reporter type, but I do not think so. I don't think. 135 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.799 I don't think it. I think we're talking like maybe next week. 136 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.480 I think that if he were able to play tonight, he would, so 137 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.600 if he's not on the in the lineup, then it's I think it's a 138 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.039 maybe not a serious energy, but one where he obviously can't go on. 139 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:50.639 And I think I think they gave I think they gave Tim Hardaway Junior the 140 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.720 night off because because they're gonna need him, need him tonight, you know, 141 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.840 against the Lakers, more than you'd need him last night against the Grizzlies. 142 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.399 What I don't is Luca getting a technical late in the game, one 143 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.039 seconds left, absolutely pointless. Now you got the one. I guess that 144 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.960 happened a number of days ago. He got that one rescinded. Did you 145 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.039 see that? Yes? What you should have when he got poked on the 146 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.159 nose by Chris Dunn. Uh Luca when he got a technical, here's what 147 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.519 he said. He's Vince Williams Junior, was the guy for the Grizzlies who 148 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.840 he was getting into it with. He said he was just talking s the 149 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.480 whole time. I look back and I told him I wish they'd let me 150 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.799 play h one on one. And that's when I got to tack. The 151 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.120 rest have got to let us just talk. It's part of the game. 152 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.519 I love it. I think he's a great defender. But the refs the 153 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.399 last game, I didn't do nothing. We both got text this game, 154 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.720 we both talked, and I got into a tech only or I got a 155 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.120 tech only. The rest have just got a chill on that part. He's 156 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.799 right, he is right. They trash talk needs to happen unless the unless 157 00:11:54.840 --> 00:12:01.559 it's getting unless it's escalating to a point where you're you're trying to stop an 158 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.000 actual confrontation or you know, chest to chest kind of kind of thing. 159 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.240 If they're just jawn at one another and it's not like super profane or personal 160 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.000 or hateful, leave them alone. Man. It is part of the game, 161 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.480 especially in the modern NBA, and I love it. I want that 162 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.559 from Luca. But this is also his reputation. Now, like the refs 163 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.399 do view Luca in a certain way. They know he's great, but like 164 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.360 you know, he ain't getting any benefit of the doubt.

I want to play some audio last time on Money at Football. 176 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.279 We had a Money at Football double header last night. We did you 177 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:37.000 do the are you YouTube TV? Man YouTube TV if you watch them both 178 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.200 where they give you that option this season to watch two games at once. 179 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.360 I watched, you know, for me as a Packers fan. I had 180 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.039 Packers on my big one. I've got a little tiny TV and I threw 181 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.519 up the Titans and Giants on that, and I had HAVES on my phone, 182 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.080 so a lot going on, but the matter up so much that had 183 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.120 it fuck. I had to follow them too closely because they were at by 184 00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.360 twenty do ole game Titans Dolphins, Titans Dolphin. Sorry. Yeah, So 185 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.159 how did your dang Packers get beat by New York? Well, the Packers 186 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.519 aren't very good and there's you know, Joe and Trolly were like, this 187 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:13.039 is a shocking performance by the Packers, Like you guys haven't seen him play. 188 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.080 Like September and October, the Packers were really bad. They were trading 189 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.000 players for draft picks and then in November. They won pretty much all their 190 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.000 games, including being the Lions on Thanksgiving Day and then beating the Chiefs last 191 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.080 Sunday night. So you win two games and get some big teams and everyone 192 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.879 thinks you're good. All of a sudden, Packer's not a good team. 193 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:39.000 They're young, youngest team in the league. Building they're horrible. Boy, 194 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.799 there was some Tommy DeVito magic last night. I can't believe it. He 195 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:50.639 was awesome, he was really good. I don't know. I just I 196 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.679 don't do that game should not have been close. The Packers got smoked and 197 00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:00.399 they lose twenty four to twenty two. But they got outplayed the entire higher 198 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.919 game. Are you about to tell me that Tommy DeVito reminds you of a 199 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.519 young Romo? Dude, there's a little bit there. I think he's worse, 200 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.759 but he's worse for sure, But there's that, I mean little bit. 201 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.519 They have no weapons. Say, at one point in the fourth quarter, 202 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.879 Sakuon Barkley had fifteen carries for thirty yards. They broke a fifty yard 203 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.559 run later got the yards to that and fumbled on that play. But like 204 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.759 he ended up with his eighty six yard line. But like they don't have 205 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.480 anyone and somehow they go get the win. But there's a moment at the 206 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.240 end of the first half. No, the refs are a big part of 207 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.759 the NFL discourse right now, have been for a few weeks, even more 208 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:46.399 so with the Chiefs thing and Patrick Mahomes crying about Cadarius Toney being off sides. 209 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.120 So there's thirteen seconds left in the first half. The game has already 210 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:58.440 been at an excruciating pace because this by now famous referee crew Land Clark is 211 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.919 the guy's name. We've had him. We've had to deal with him in 212 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:07.039 a couple of Cowboys games this year where it's like, put the flag back 213 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.200 in your pants. I don't understand this crew call. Throws so many flags 214 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:18.320 and they're slow, and there's just question marks on everything every call. The 215 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.879 refs have to get together and discuss it's they're bad. They're just not a 216 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.960 good crew. So it's thirteen seconds left and a half, and you can 217 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.799 imagine if you're Joe and Troy, you have an eleven minute halftime. You 218 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.120 might get some food to re energize real quick, and the next break, 219 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.840 I'm gonna take a bite of this protein bar. We all do it. 220 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:41.159 So I think that Troy and Joe at thirteen seconds left, the Packers are 221 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.279 gonna kick off and the Giants are gonna take a knee, and I think 222 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.159 they're probably had some food sat down for him, right, Maybe some meatballs, 223 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.840 Maybe some meatballs that's something warm, you know, warm on a cold 224 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:57.559 night in New York. Yeah, maybe a nice plate of sliced John's ham 225 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:06.039 Man, maybe fresh hot ham from Klein Swines. The kickoff goes off a 226 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.559 Giants player's leg and goes out of bounds, but the ref those the flag 227 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:11.519 like it's a legal procedure, so they're trying to see if the Giant's gonna 228 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.640 get the ball at the forty and the refs get together to talk about it. 229 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.079 This should not take this long. And this is Troy Aikman on Monday 230 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.759 Night football, and he is pissed. I'm not plugged in. Sorry, 231 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:30.240 here we go. Here it is on the free all, you know. 232 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.440 I mean, there's thirteen seconds in the half. They're gonna get, you 233 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.799 know, just make a decision. And this is what stops all these games. 234 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:42.200 And the officials, I know they've been they've been talked about every week, 235 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:47.759 but this is ridiculous that we're watching right now. I mean, we 236 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:55.119 see something, it takes five seconds, it takes them five minutes to discussion. 237 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.960 Now stick around here. The ref's gonna explain. It doesn't matter listening 238 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:03.960 to Joe Bucks. Come about the food. The ball hit the receiving team 239 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.799 player and went out abound. The ball will be placed at that spot first 240 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.279 out. So they pick up the flag. And I'd like to know how 241 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.960 you really feel about them. Tell me at halftime, will you o man 242 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:26.440 over a cold meatball? There you go. The Grinches could just call timeout. 243 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:32.599 That says it all. The mask is up now the Grinch looks like 244 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:37.079 that person. I mean they're just calling out their camera shots. Uh huh, 245 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.160 they're calling out the crew. They don't want to be there. They 246 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.839 do not they don't want to be on a Monday night game. Packers and 247 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.839 Giants two ding dong teams. When they're used to the premiere game of the 248 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:57.000 week on box and there's a what was a hot, steaming pile of meatballs 249 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:02.200 just right next to them in their booth, They're like, dude, there's 250 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:07.440 thirteen seconds until halftime. We've been sitting here for five minutes. That's why 251 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.400 Joe said cold meat balls because he knew that's what this was. They were 252 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.319 hungry. They were hungry and they're just tired. And even in the first 253 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:19.839 quarter, they were already making comments about the game not being good. They 254 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.880 made a comment, Joe Bucks, It's like, what do you think Tom 255 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:27.720 Brady thinks about this? Because Tom Brady's made comments about the NFL being mediocre 256 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.400 by the way, like eight starting quarterbacks are hurt not playing too which that's 257 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.519 the fastest start your league, sock. You've started more rookie quarterbacks this season 258 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:42.319 than any time in history, So, like, you know, that doesn't 259 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:47.640 help. I still think it's a pretty good product, right. I think 260 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:51.640 they're having that stark realization of we used to get the best game in the 261 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.400 NFC each week, and now we are at the hands of whatever the schedule 262 00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.960 is at the beginning of the year. We're not getting to choose. Watch 263 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.920 this change. Well, they're already getting some like late seasons, some good 264 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.880 games, but watch this change to where Monday nights are consistently maybe not as 265 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:14.759 premiere as Sunday night football. But this ain't gonna fly with Troy and that 266 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.839 dude wields a ton of power. It already did so last year. Before 267 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.000 year one, it was like a thing. Hey, the NFL is making 268 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.480 a conscious effort to spice up Monday Night. They have, and I'm just 269 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:32.119 saying, watch that trend continue. I think maybe it's just different than when 270 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:34.119 I was a kid, when I loved Monday Night football. As an adult, 271 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.200 I'm like, it's on, man, But I've watched so much of 272 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.440 this yesterday. I love it, dude, I love it. It's a 273 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.240 tick above Thursday night football now in a lot of instances. Yeah, a 274 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.759 tick above thirty. Yeah, which is and Thursday Night's bad. It's garbage. 275 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.640 I like that we have it, but it's bad. I didn't understand 276 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.240 why we had two Monday night games last night. I know the ESPN's experimenting 277 00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:03.599 and all that stuff, but we have this get day every year Saturday in 278 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.480 college football, where it's the Heisman at night and it's the Army Navy game 279 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.640 in the afternoon. And I'm like, dude, put one of these NFL 280 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.359 games on Saturday night just to have it there. And instead of that, 281 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.079 we're we got a triple header next Saturday. Okay, so like they did 282 00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:25.039 they do this, but the one day where there's nothing. There's Army Navy, 283 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.960 which is not a fun game ever. Okay, it's a traditional game, 284 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.799 but it's not a fun game. Maybe not since like the thirties and 285 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.720 the Heisman ceremony that no one cares about. Okay, you're just gonna watch 286 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.279 that on YouTube the next morning. You're not gonna watch it at all. 287 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:42.519 If you're me, you're not gonna care. Give me an NFL game. 288 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:45.920 I don't know. I just thought that's strange that we had two Monday night 289 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:49.680 games last night. But so well, the NFL have NFL meetings in Dallas. 290 00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:52.839 I think this week they have their winter meetings. I think this week, 291 00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:59.599 and topic A is referees. It's going to be discussed real quick. 292 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:04.960 No, you're getting behind it. Let me read this comment. So a 293 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:14.119 couple things out of the Chiefs offensive offsides, call that whole conundrum that got 294 00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:18.359 old Patrick Mahomes his knickers in a twist, and Andy Reid kind of followed 295 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.359 suit with that. I guess I think they were just mad because it was 296 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.079 such a kick ass play that got called back, and it would have been 297 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.480 just such a defining play of the NFL season, and they're just bummed out 298 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:36.000 that that flashy, badass lateral play didn't result in them winning the game, 299 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:40.119 and their wide receivers are costing them again. Yeah, they just didn't manage 300 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:45.240 their disappointment in what should have been in disappointment in themselves and kind of used 301 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:49.400 the referees as Patsy's. Mahomes has come out and said that he regrets the 302 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.440 way he acted. He said, obviously you don't want to react that way. 303 00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.720 I care, man, I love this game, I love my teammates. 304 00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:57.640 I want to go out there and put everything on the line to win. 305 00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:02.440 But obviously can't do that. Can't be that way toward officials or really 306 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.200 anybody in life. So yeah, I probably regret acting like that. More 307 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.640 than anything. I regretted the way I acted toward Josh after the game because 308 00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:11.880 he had nothing to do with it. I was still hot and emotional, 309 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.359 But you can't do that, man. Not a great example for kids watching 310 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:19.599 the game. Patrick's just a fiery dude, though we saw him the quarterback 311 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.799 when he goes after Max Crosby well on that TV show The Quarterback that was 312 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:27.599 on Netflix. I said, the chiefs for a team that wins a lot, 313 00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.480 still relatively likable because of Patrick. I think everyone kind of likes Andy 314 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:38.200 Ree. Dude, they're losing a lot because I'm sick of Taylor Swift headlines. 315 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:42.759 I'm sick of Travis Kelsey commercials. Yeah, and I just do not 316 00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.039 accept the One of the things I hated the most, it's Dak Prescott's lowest 317 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:53.279 moment as a player is when after the forty nine Ers game two years ago, 318 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:59.039 Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott walk into their postgame press conference in the playoffs 319 00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:02.759 and blame the game on the refs when the Cowboys had like twelve penalties. 320 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.440 They both did it, and I was like, no, that is not 321 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.279 you guys didn't play good enough. The referees had a chance to respond to 322 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:17.079 all of the consternation about that call. They had a pool report with NFL 323 00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:19.400 SVP. I don't know what that is. I like to say, NFL 324 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:25.960 Scott van Pelt, Okay, that's Walt Anderson and referee Carl Scheffer's or Cheffer's 325 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:33.759 and they said yes, ultimately talking about if receivers look to them for alignment 326 00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:37.839 advice, Hey, are we cool or am I lined up properly? And 327 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.079 they asked for it, and they freely give it. He said, Yes, 328 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.039 we certainly are going to give it to them, but ultimately they are 329 00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:47.920 responsible for wherever they line up, and certainly no warning is required from us, 330 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.559 especially if they are lined up so far off sides where they're actually blocking 331 00:24:52.680 --> 00:25:00.240 our view of the ball. Yes, describing what Tony, Yeah, he 332 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.759 did, so we would give them some sort of warning if it was anywhere 333 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.839 close, like if his foot had just maybe been a little bit on the 334 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.480 ball to been like, hey, dude, I'm not gonna call this, 335 00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:14.119 but you're getting you're getting into that no man's land, or you're in that 336 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:15.559 no man's land. You're going to commit a penalty if you get any closer. 337 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.400 They're like, dude, this is so egregious. I gotta throw the 338 00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.119 flag. Yeah, And that's that's exactly. I mean, this is the 339 00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:27.599 thing that is happening now. And had they not thrown that flag, I 340 00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:33.000 think the outrage would have been tenfold from from Bill's nation and it would have 341 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.720 been absolutely justified. And the flag was thrown before Travis Kelcey ever threw the 342 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.759 lateral the other way, Yeah, exactly the beginning of the play, and 343 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.160 a lot of people could want to make the argument you know, well it 344 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.640 didn't even affect the play. Well you can say that, but the guy 345 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:53.200 that committed the penalty ultimately scored the damn touchdown. So shut up, Chiefs, 346 00:25:55.079 --> 00:26:02.920 shut up, you start hating. Coming up next, I've got details 347 00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:07.640 on the MAVs sale when it's happening, and also a new brewery in Delhi 348 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.440 in Oak Cliff that's kind of interesting. Next in ninety seven one, the Free
