00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:14.080
It's the Downbeat on ninety seven to
one, the freak shunning the best of

2
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:19.519
mornings to you. It's November twenty
seventh, seven or four ams, the

3
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:25.160
Downbeat, No Danny today. It's
thirty three degrees Mike, cold as balls

4
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:33.240
out there. That's today's weather.
Colder, and heck, watch out for

5
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:42.240
your three p's mm hm, pets, pipes and plants. Yep. Don't

6
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.200
look at the ceiling and like think
of what I say JJ and then be

7
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.399
like, all right, I'm just
trying to understand where you're going. She

8
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:53.240
thought it was something else. Just
trying to anticipate. That's good. Anticipation

9
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.719
is a big part of this job
for all of us. Uh, you

10
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.320
should anticipate the scuttle Buck coming up
in about a half hour and then I

11
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.280
know it's a bunch of days later. But at eight o'clock we're gonna do

12
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:11.640
the Ghost Pepper Babyllion, where we
play our hot predictions for the Thursday Cowboys

13
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.840
showdown with the Commanders of Washington.
Let's see if we going eighty points,

14
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:22.920
maybe even review that halftime show that
set the world ablaze. We can also

15
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:29.120
discuss Baba Vangas for terrifying predictions for
twenty twenty four. I don't know what

16
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.359
that is, but I'm in Boba
Vanga. Of course, the mystic who

17
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:37.040
died back in nineteen ninety six.
You have them on, you know,

18
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:38.680
maybe we'll do that at seven point
thirty coming up, as well as the

19
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:44.799
details of the big shopping center plane
crash in play. No, they've only

20
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.000
got their report on that. Yeah, you were gone on Wednesday. Danny

21
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.560
had a friend who was there when
the plane crashed out of mid air in

22
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.040
front of a shopping center. Put
some details rolled out about that. I

23
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.599
heard that segment while I was sitting
on a plane. Yep, I listened.

24
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.920
The whole segment. Didn't even register
until the very end. I'm like,

25
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.560
oh, that's kind of weird.
It was weird too that you and

26
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.719
Christina flew a small plane out to
Florida too, So just get me Major

27
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:14.159
Airlines, a tiny single propeller plane. The Bermuda Triangle was licking its lips.

28
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.879
We weren't going over that luckily.
I would like to do the history

29
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:22.479
of the Bermuda Triangle one day.
I might be your man for that.

30
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:29.159
I mean fairly well verse that in
the history of the Thanksgiving Day coin toss

31
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.719
between the Steelers and Lions twenty five
years ago. Two things that have been

32
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:37.560
on my mind a lot later that
the Jerome bettis yeah tails and no heads

33
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.560
or yeah. Have a couple oral
histories coming at you. And you know,

34
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.319
amongst the weeks Bermuda Triangle mysteries is
just the island of Bermuda. You

35
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.199
know how far north the island of
Bermuda is it is? Well, I

36
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.520
don't have like the latitude and longitude, but it's way up there. It's

37
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.879
a really weird, isolated island that
I think think has some of the most

38
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.000
expensive real estate on the face of
the earth. Like if you live in

39
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.159
New York City, that's your Caribbean
island. That's like easy to get to.

40
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:09.520
I encourage everyone to just look up
Bermuda on them make sure they have

41
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:15.599
the natural Bermuda grass too, right, That's why am I wrong? You

42
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.360
know what? You're probably right.
I don't know do they grow it there?

43
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.159
These are questions that we'll do and
we'll handle in our Bermuda Triangle segment

44
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:29.199
coming at you in weeks. Just
look up Bermute on a map. Tell

45
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.840
me I'm wrong. It's in a
weird spot. Ber You don't have to

46
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.280
do right now, you're Muda one
of the islands, Okay, now,

47
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.280
zoom out like you think it's part
of like the Bahamas or oh damn,

48
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.360
like traditional Caribbean. But what's it
doing on that is in the middle of

49
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.759
nowhere? That is stupid right,
essentially just in the middle of the Atlantic

50
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:55.360
Ocean. And then very other other
other very small islands way out in the

51
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.719
middle of the Atlantic Ocean we don't
even know about. Probably how does it

52
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.759
not get destroyed every hurricane season?
Well, I think it's further north,

53
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.599
so it misses that way. Yeah, colder, colder water up north.

54
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:15.039
The hurricanes come on down through the
Caribbean. Like birds, they go south.

55
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.959
Hurricanes migrate south. A couple of
nights, a couple of nice golf

56
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:23.079
courses on Bermuda, including I believe
the Teeth of the Dog, which is

57
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:28.519
a very coolly named golf course.
Until I googled it, I thought Bermuda

58
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.279
was like an island. I thought
it was like south of Panama City and

59
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.519
Pensacola and all that. We thought
it was in the Gulf. Yeah,

60
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.839
I thought it was in the Gulf. Yeah, my mistake, my bad.

61
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:44.839
We'll talk serious Bermuda Triangle coming up
sometime in weeks, in weeks and

62
00:04:44.879 --> 00:05:02.680
weeks, but now it's time for
the sport and now Sports Bad Sports of

63
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:14.000
seven brought to you by the Island
of Bermuda. Stay there today and if

64
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:19.319
you like to advertise Bermuda. Michael
Sarroy at iHeartMedia dot com. I was

65
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:25.879
going to do cyber Monday and say, create a Yahoo account and ask strangers

66
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.439
on the Internet their age, sex
and location and sells. That was very

67
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.800
common in the world. Is catfishing? Probably probably cowboys got that ass on

68
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:41.959
Thanksgiving Day. Let's start there.
Yeah, I you know, look bad

69
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.000
teams, So there's that. I
ain't got a bad thing to say about

70
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.040
any of that. They took care
of their business and then they got a

71
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:56.040
short week so Thursday night, Seattle. They've done their job lately. And

72
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:02.079
Dak Prescott absolutely deserves to be mentioned
in MVP conversations all of that stuff,

73
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:09.439
even though I mean he's top ten
in every category that matters. He is

74
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:15.519
what second touchdown passes. Everyone's worried
about his interceptions. He's way down the

75
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.600
list on interceptions. He's only thrown
six and we're in a league now where

76
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.079
Joe Burrow's out for the year,
and I know he's not good, but

77
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.639
Kirk Cousins is out for the year. Mahomes is playing with an offense that

78
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.199
has a lot of drops. They're
still good, very functional, but there's

79
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.920
some holes on the Chiefs. Josh
Allen looks amazing at times and looks terrible

80
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.240
at times, and you might just
be up against the fact that Jayler Hurts

81
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:42.240
is kind of amazing. Other than
that, like your MVP talk, it

82
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.519
should probably include Dak Prescott as one
of the top three names. Dude,

83
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.480
I did this two weeks ago and
he was at thirty five to one,

84
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:53.879
and I'm like, what the hell, it just feels weird. We felt

85
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.879
weird at the time, and then
a week ago we mentioned it again he

86
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.360
was at eighteen to one. Now
he's basically eight to one. He's third.

87
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:06.199
He's behind only Hurts, who's a
slight favorite over Mahomes. But yes,

88
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.879
he should absolutely be in that category. The guy. The two guys

89
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:15.240
I left out and probably should include
Ark Lamar Jackson and Tua Yeah yeah,

90
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.399
in the conversation for sure, but
statistically, Dak I think is better than

91
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.759
both of them, And if he
smacked I mean, if you smack him,

92
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:28.319
smack the Eagles, that's you know, you could jump right to the

93
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.480
an equal number to Hertz. Yeah, and here you go, here's the

94
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.319
news. I kind of think they're
going to smack the Eagles in two weeks.

95
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.519
I kind of think they are.
And I'm worried that it won't matter

96
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.839
because oh if the Eagles did yesterday
to get through it, because well they

97
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.759
might not matter for winning the division, but it won't matter matter, And

98
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.680
what if they rattle off, you
know, the rest of the year.

99
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:53.439
It certainly feels like the Cowboys are
on a crash course to visit Atlanta,

100
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.360
New Orleans or Tampa Bay in the
first round of the playoffs. Okay,

101
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:01.439
no problems, and that's easy.
And then you will find yourself Playinghiladelphia or

102
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.439
San Francisco or whoever else makes it
through Detroit. I guess would be your

103
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.600
other, you know, good team
in the NFC. It's always been three,

104
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.000
maybe four teams in the NFC.
It's always been this going into this

105
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.199
year. That remains the case.
You're just as good to I think the

106
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.000
Cowboys are better than the lines personally. The lines have put up a couple

107
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.879
of stinkers. The Lions have given
up a ton of points. Yeah,

108
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.160
and they tend to score with people, and they do fine and offensively they

109
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.800
have a lot of big names and
whatnot. But yeah, their defense gives

110
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.759
up a lot. I know they
got whooped by Green Bay. Dude.

111
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.360
Wow, when you watch the Cowboys
play, though, even though playing bad

112
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.960
teams, are you sitting there going
Super Bowl? Could? Yes? Yeah,

113
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.360
I'm two. Yes, I'm too. And I don't know if it's

114
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.960
the teams they're playing or if it's
them. I think it's just they do

115
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.679
this every year. It seems like
I will say, we're gonna get the

116
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.399
test. We'll feel different about this
in a month, probably after they play

117
00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:00.320
four tough teams. But I mean, the only the Cardinals game, fine,

118
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.919
but the loss to the forty nine
ers, which you got annihilated,

119
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.120
I don't know. It's just it's
starting to feel more like an outlier than

120
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.679
anything. I'll say this as a
new fan of Penn State University, because

121
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.000
you know, we grew up with
their defensive coordinator, Manny Diaz. He's

122
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.679
a friend of the family. So
now I pay more attention to Penn State.

123
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:24.559
Penn State every year kills everyone and
then they lose to Michigan and Ohio

124
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.759
State like every year. And I
was trying to apply that to the Cowboys,

125
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.840
where it kind of feels like,
yeah, you're running everyone, but

126
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.440
then you get smoked by the forty
nine ers, you get beat by the

127
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.720
Eagles, and it sort of feels
the same. It doesn't matter how good

128
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:43.360
you do and the other stuff.
If those high pressure, high leverage games,

129
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:48.399
you lay an egg. So yes, annihilating the Commanders on Thanksgiving in

130
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.960
what was a really feel good thing. It was awesome, and I kind

131
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.159
of thought it was almost endearing that
Jerry said, this is maybe my best

132
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.000
day as the owner of the Cowboys. Yeah, and then everyone of course

133
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.639
the Super Bowl Super Bowls. He's
like, well, I mean, I

134
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:03.600
don't want to He's like, I
don't want to say it. It's been

135
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.840
a long damn time since we won
Super Bowls. And he's also enjoying his

136
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.919
days more than he did agree and
he doesn't like to talk about it.

137
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.480
Yees, I know that that's like
one of the few things back when I

138
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.120
worked at the station that carries Cowboys
games as like one of the two things

139
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.440
that would make him call in don't
ever say that he doesn't care and don't

140
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.679
ever talk about his age like yeah, or morality or talk about him dying.

141
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.159
He will call metality. Yeah,
I'll talk about that. Mortality and

142
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:37.360
morality both issues. Well that fairly. Yes, we have a sexual assault

143
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.759
a trial that is gonna be Keviny
Curton March. But I he he he

144
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.639
is uh. He has access to
an actuary table, and I think he

145
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.279
realizes that, you know, the
light at the end of the time is

146
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.519
probably visible. So yes, I
like that he appreciates days like that.

147
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.879
And David Moore had a great write
up in the in the Dallas More News

148
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.919
about that was a special day.
I don't know, and I kind of

149
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.960
read it and I'm like, you
know what it was. How about just

150
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:05.279
ratings alone? You see that?
No, but imagine big forty one point

151
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.200
four to three million people, I
mean, the highest rate of broadcast on

152
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.639
any network since the Super Bowl and
the third most watched regular season game in

153
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.759
NFL history. I don't know,
that's whid just have it on, you

154
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.519
know, and you know you want
selfishly, you want a close game,

155
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.360
or at least if you're just watching
football, you want a close game.

156
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.480
If you're a Cowboys fan, You're
like, bow their ass out and get

157
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.200
dack out of the game and do
all the things you need to do.

158
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.440
What where The bummer of all this
is to me is that you had a

159
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:39.600
real chance to set up December tenth, in two weeks, Cowboys and Eagles

160
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:46.279
playing each other for essentially the division
lead. But Ethan Jake Elliott knocked down

161
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.720
a sixty yard field goal after the
legal mismanaged the clock a little bit,

162
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.480
you know, and in the rain
drills a sixty yard field goal and they

163
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.799
end up taking that thing to overtime
and end up winning in overtime when Josh

164
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.240
Allen had a miscommunication with Gabe Davis
and the end zone. And the point

165
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.720
of it all is the Eagles go
win a game that they were trailing by

166
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.399
ten in the second half, that
they only had seventy six passing yards through

167
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.759
three quarters, they gave up five
hundred and five yards on offense, I

168
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:24.159
mean on defense, and they won
like they've got it. They're finishing those

169
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.279
games how and we'll find out if
the Cowboys are. Because the Seahawks,

170
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.279
I don't think you're very much of
a test. I don't take the Seahawks

171
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.919
very seriously. But maybe I should. And then what is it Buffalo,

172
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.200
Well, it's Philadelphia, and then
it's Buffalo, Miami, Detroit. Yeah,

173
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.919
I mean it's on. We're gonna
know a lot about this team in

174
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.399
a month. And it's kind of
sucked about this year as we've been kind

175
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.759
of talking like we don't know what
they are. It makes you scared almost

176
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.600
to go, well, they're one
of the best teams in the league,

177
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.879
but they are just watching what they've
done. But that could change real quick

178
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.279
if they suck in the next month
or go two and two even all of

179
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.960
a sudden, you've got I have
losses in the NFC that doesn't look very

180
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.440
good. So and they absolutely could. This Seahawks game is the last of

181
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:11.440
their little their stretch of I guess
easier games. And I wouldn't really put

182
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.360
the Seahawks in with the Commanders,
Panthers and Giants because they're still kind of

183
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.600
on track for playoffs, I think. And then yeah, Eagles at Bills

184
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.639
at Dolphins is gonna be no fun. And the Bills, I don't know,

185
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.639
Bills are weird too, And I'll
you know, it sucks last night

186
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.000
because I always watch things from a
Cowboys slash dolphin perspective, and I kind

187
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.879
of you know, I kind of
wanted the Bills. Yeah, for your

188
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.080
sake, Yeah, take take the
l there. I well, there's a

189
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.320
couple of things. The reason I
want the Bills to win because I think

190
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.039
a desperate Bills team could be really
bad in two weeks maybe, but they

191
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.720
might be out of it by then. That they're U jackyl and Hyde.

192
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:54.399
But going up to Buffalo's never easy, and that I mean they'll okay,

193
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.159
Well, the bill Bills will be
favored in that game, right, yeah,

194
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:03.840
point maybe yeah, two and a
half, one and a half something

195
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:05.879
like that. Guess it depends what
happens the next two weeks exactly. Can

196
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.759
we go smoke the Eagles? Then, yes, we were favorites. What

197
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:15.360
do you think the line will be
against the Eagles Eagles at Cowboys? Dude,

198
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.399
it'll be Cowboys minus two and a
half two and a half, exactly

199
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.440
what I was thinking. I think
two and a half. No, Cowboy.

200
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.159
I think cows be favorite. Okay, so they look when when they

201
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.039
get you in a third and short, you feel doomed when you play the

202
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:33.519
Eagles just because monsters, you're like
they can be carved up through the air,

203
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.600
and yes, A J. Brown
and Demante Smith and Jalen Hurts are

204
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.799
amazing, but they're not world beaters
at all. They're just not. And

205
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.600
they're acting like they are right now, and that's fine, and they're ten

206
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.159
and one, but they are not
world beaters. They've played a lot of

207
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.639
these games, including the Cowboys game, including the Chiefs game last week,

208
00:14:54.639 --> 00:15:01.440
and including yesterday, but that's the
difference. They haven't farted around the Cowboys,

209
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.480
did you know? They did out
the gate with a couple of losses,

210
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.440
most notably the one against Detroit that
really really hurts. The Cowboys have

211
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.120
what seven twenty point wins? Is
that? What it is? Not Detroit

212
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:20.080
Arizona? I mean, uh yeah, I'm not I'm not sure on that.

213
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.200
Yeah, okay, how about yeah? Seven twenty plus point wins,

214
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.600
including three in a row, again
through this desert where you know you're gonna

215
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:33.039
whip these teams. But I don't
know. There's something about winning and crushing,

216
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.080
which the Cowboys have done a ton
of, that makes you look at

217
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.679
them a little differently than even a
ten and one Eagles team that only beats

218
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.519
the Commanders by a touchdown, for
instance. But for the for the I

219
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:50.519
guess, just like viewpoint of full
context, I guess I'm just gonna have

220
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.480
to see them get to the championship
game before I ever go, Yeah,

221
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.080
it's gonna happen. And I am
a huge Dak fan, okay, unabashed

222
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.639
Dack support, or but how does
this feel any different than last year?

223
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.919
Trayvon Diggs had a bunch of interceptions
the drawn blands setting records out here,

224
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:14.759
and that's incredible, and but hey, when Zeke jumped into the Salvation Army

225
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.919
bucket, that was amazing. When
Dak pulled the turkey leg out of the

226
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.039
Salvation Army bucket, that was awesome. How does this feel any different?

227
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.799
If we're trash Force in San Francisco
in January, I probably have to think

228
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.240
the forty hundreds are gonna win.
I don't know, I mean, but

229
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.200
they're good and like, this is
the thing. I was like, I'm

230
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.480
a guy who questions McCarthy a lot, I truly do. He's done a

231
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.039
good job, right yep, so, and he apparently is showing the ability

232
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.559
to evolve and change a little bit, as that offense has been cooking since

233
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.000
they made those sort of changes.
And the changes were sort of what we

234
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.840
were all screaming to you know,
with pre snap motion and let Dak run

235
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.080
a little bit, and hey,
Brandon Cooks is on this team too,

236
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.759
and a handful of things offensively they're
like, you should do and now they

237
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.319
are doing everything. I give Cede
Lamb a lot of credit for his Week

238
00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:07.079
five or six hissy fit, yeah, because he might have saved the season.

239
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.279
He changed things immediately because the offense
became get the ball to CD and

240
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.880
then everything else opens up. Yeah, that's that's awesome. And Dak,

241
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.400
yeah, I don't know. I
mean, Dak, Dak is out.

242
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:25.759
I love Dak. Look Dak and
Lamar Jackson or guys who take I think

243
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.359
a little bit in national heat sometimes
for not getting it done, but they

244
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.480
do pretty much everything in their power
to get you there, and then you

245
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.640
just need a four touchdown performance in
the playoffs. They're saying this about Josh

246
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.920
Allen right now too. Yeah,
you know, I was like, well,

247
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.279
like I felt like you have either
one of those three guys, you

248
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.319
got a pretty good chance. I
just think around here people are conditioned to

249
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.880
expect the collapse, and there's a
lot of evidence that is gonna happen.

250
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.039
You can play that for the team
as a whole, or to Dak.

251
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.160
But the dude is dialed. He's
playing so good. He needs the damn

252
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.839
win against the Eagle and not I
mean, you need the playoff wins,

253
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.039
oboly. But if they beat the
Seahawks and then go and handle the Eagles,

254
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.640
that everyone's gonna kind of be like, this is it. It's don

255
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:12.079
If you beat the Eagles, even
in a close one, it's gonna be

256
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:15.079
all right, this is the one. This is the year. Who the

257
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.400
Eagles have this week? Because I
would like to get the Eagles. Yeah,

258
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.519
this is great. Eagles and forty
nine ers this week through twenty five.

259
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.759
Yeah, okay, so it's good. That will set up and the

260
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.759
Cowboys game will already a hit.
So let's assume the Cowboys beat the Seahawks.

261
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.599
Let's say the forty nine ers go
take care of the Eagles. Then

262
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.400
we are playing once again for you
know, at tire at least the same

263
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.039
record on December tenth, which they
have the breaker on the problem is the

264
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.759
Eagles last three games Giants, Cardinals, Giants, cake, I mean that's

265
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:48.559
cake. Yeah, at Seattle at
least after the Cowboys. So it's a

266
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.640
little bit of a switch. But
you get the Giants twice out of the

267
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:55.359
last three weeks, so that's all
dubs. They took care of their business

268
00:18:55.400 --> 00:19:00.720
in their first two Gauntlet games.
I guess you could call them darn Bland

269
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:04.160
ridiculous. I mean, do we
need to talk more about probably amazing thing.

270
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:07.559
Well, it's funny. We're playing
the Seahawks and I think the Seahawks

271
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:15.359
are tied with someone with three defensive
touchdowns on the season as the second best

272
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:22.400
teams man after Deron fin Bland has
six of them. I kept doing this,

273
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.160
I keep doing it. Seems like
every week now I'm going and looking

274
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:30.559
at wide receiver stats and I'm just
going, Okay, he has more touchdowns

275
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.599
than all these top tier wide receivers. Yeah, Delante Adams, he has

276
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.920
the same amount of touchdowns as Travis
Kelce. He has. You know,

277
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:42.119
it's just like we shall look at
the list, like, Okay, this

278
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.799
is ridiculous. This is more impressive
than what Travon Diggs did a few years

279
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.759
ago, clearly, and I thought
he was gonna get tackled, yeah,

280
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.880
and something. He got the he
hit the turbo button like the twelve yard

281
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.640
line and said, no, I'm
gonna get in there. Well, it's

282
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.359
two in a row too, he's
had two great returns in a row that

283
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.319
took a little shaken and bacon,
and yes, it's incredible, and he

284
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.759
should be the favorite for Defensive Player
of the Year. Yeah, not just

285
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.680
like now on the list which he
is appearing now, he should be the

286
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.279
favorite. Like I don't care what
your first and last name is and how

287
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.480
that applies to what your odds were
at the beginning of the season. If

288
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:23.279
you do something that's never been done, you know, thirty points, what

289
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.680
do you want? I mean,
what could I mean if that was Sauce

290
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:32.039
Gardner, who had six pick sixes
this year, yeah, they'd have already

291
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:36.799
started chiseling the award to hand to
him. But because it's darn Bland,

292
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:38.440
you can't be like, wait what, oh, Mike, I thought Micah

293
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:42.480
was our candidate from that particular team. And fine, Micah still could earn

294
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:45.799
it and win it. But you
know, Miles Garrett, I guess is

295
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.400
the favorite right now for that thing? Like all right, because of the

296
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.839
Sweatpant interview. Yes, after the
Sweatpant interview, everyone saw his hog and

297
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.279
said favorite. Yeah, that's where
also Jaron Bland is really hurt by his

298
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:02.920
last name too. If he was
iron exciting, Yeah, Duran fire,

299
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:12.079
Yeah in award this man, not
meh, Duran meh. I'm gonna change

300
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:17.519
my name to oh oh, I
don't know. It was pretty exciting in

301
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.319
a game that had already locked up
and it was sixty three yards, it's

302
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.640
up to that, Like that's a
massive one. I just know there's a

303
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:27.440
bunch and everyone's eating turkey during the
game. Is incredible. That was a

304
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:30.160
lot of fun, man. I
mean there are great players who have like

305
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.480
one defensive touchdown in their career,
you know, yeah, I mean,

306
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:40.119
I mean our great corners, but
great linebackers and defensive players whatever, six

307
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:44.359
of them, and it just like
that game was already so great. Then

308
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:49.000
to get that delicious cherry on top, which is pick it's bland, Oh

309
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.799
my god, house it, and
then to make the move and flush it

310
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:59.400
ridiculous, beautiful, and then Defensive
Player of the Year. Yeah, let's

311
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.319
let's get this ahead of Micah,
ahead of Micah. Yes, and you

312
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.440
do something that's never been done in
the sport, Like I don't care if

313
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:11.839
some no name defensive end whoever it
is, if he gets twenty sacks or

314
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.880
breaks straight hands or whatever he gets
it. You think they're going. Damn.

315
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.519
I wish we wouldn't have paid Trevon
Diggs already. I just waited,

316
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.559
you know, yeah, I just
to go like cause you save you need

317
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.079
Micah money, and you're gonna have
to redo Dak at some point, I

318
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:27.880
don't know. Kind of interesting,
but dude, they're kicking ass in.

319
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.960
At eight o'clock, will ever ghost
Pepper Pavilion prediction reviews, because we,

320
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:36.480
you know, went ahead and did
it on Wednesday. We predicted what would

321
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.559
happen in the game. It involves
pickles and Ron Rivera and much more,

322
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:42.440
and we will have that for you
at eight o'clock, along with their thoughts

323
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:48.240
on the halftime show because Dolly Parton
might have dunked on Jack Harlowe. But

324
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:56.759
we have some thoughts on much what
happened on the fifty yard line around five

325
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:03.200
pm on last Thursday, so something
felt wrong to me. We'll cover that

326
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:06.480
in about thirty minutes. But coming
on next to it's the scuttle butt.

327
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:11.000
I have the latest details on that
big plane crash that was in Plano.

328
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.039
It's kind of nuts. And also
what will happen in twenty twenty four,

329
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.839
The Mystic has released their predictions next
on ninety seven to one to three
