You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven one the Freak Boy during the break
Danny Daylist's Hot Cowboys opinions. No, I was just reading some from the
owner of the Cowboy. I don't think he was. I don't think Danny
Is could even hold it. I'll tell you Sports at seven, Yeah,
he couldn't. I will tell you one thing, damn it all that the
Cowboys lost that game. Mike McCarthy would be out of a job right now.
You think so, I do, good, Lord, I do.
Okay, we're in tuck ragers and astros here. But what in the world
is on Danny's mind? Now? In Sports at seven, come with that
fire all the time, Man to my fire now Sports at seven, speaking
of fire. Sports at seven is brought to you by pudding. Pudding?
What is it? Is it a banana disguised as mayonnaise? Is it the
remnants of a good sneeze injected with butterscotch? Or is it chocolate Elmer's glue?
No one really knows, but babies love it and people in nursing homes
are forced to eat it. Pudding, It's entirely up to you, and
just so everyone knows, it's not pizza questionable slogan, but we do want
to say thank you of putting for jump Robart. I like a tagline that
begins with just so everyone knows, just to be clear. So football is
going to be the opening act for Rangers Astros. That's what we've decided here,
let's do it, Danny, was that quote you just read. This
is from the Dallas Morning News, the cheaper, kind of more kmart version
of Dingu's Morning News. But they had an article today and Jerry was quoted
appeared on a radio program somewhere in the world that he did not agree with
coach Mike McCarthy's decision to kick the field goal at the end of the first
half. Like, oh, I don't know everybody else in America felt the
same way, thought that you had at least one shot to the end zone
and then you can kick the field goals safely with a timeout in in your
back pocket eight seconds left. He was quoted saying, first of all,
this is not an impassioned response, but I thought we should have tried another
pass in the end zone and used the clock a Cardingly, whoa turn Irish
pirate. From the perspective, I had. I thought we might be able
to try it there, but I haven't talked to Mike about the call.
Jerry Sparrow, Yeah, Jerry hates him. I really do think that Jerry
hates him. He says, uh do. McCarthy was quoted saying, I
think the end of the half, if you look at the series going down
there, it was a bumpy game. You get in those spots and you
have two play calls that you're anticipating. That doesn't mean make any sense at
all. No one knows what that means. Let's see Dak Prescott said,
no problem right there, settling for three. That's what we won by.
Dak. Prescott's a company man, too wise man once it. But it
worked. Yeah, it did work. We won by three, got three
there. Jerry went on to say it was an important win and as I
sit where we are today, we'll take this four and two. This offense
has a lot of room to be man and more effective, and we got
some of it at times last night, Mike did can I offer a Can
I offer something to you two Cowboy fans? Please? I'm offering a trade.
I represent the Miami Dolphins. I want two first round picks for Mike
McDaniel. Really, I think I would do it. There's a pretty long
history of trading for coaches. I mean, can I make Mike McDaniel just
be the offensive course ordinator? Well, who's the head coach? But is
Mike McDaniel. Let's not forget that he had things sputter out of control in
the playoffs last year. Now, granted he had a third shrink quarterback in
the game and Skylar Thompson, but I would consider it. If there was
a coach that it's worth it, he would be on the short list him,
maybe Shanahan. I know it sounds crazy. I mean, a minimum
wage player in the draft. Mc daniel comes here, he ain't gonna have
the personnel to do what he's been doing. What's he gonna do with that
argument? But seriously, what is he going to What is Mike McDaniel going
to do with this group? Did you'll hear any of the speakeas yesterday because
Jeff had Jeff put into words something that I thought about a little bit.
He was look at every big play that happened for the Cowboys that it was
Dak extending a play with his legs. We kind of talked about that in
the morning a little bit too, but it was all broken plays. It
was nothing scheme to get open. And it reminded me so much of Aaron
Rodgers in Green Bay, just pulling rabbits out of his head and running around
and getting guys open and extending plays and making McCarthy look good. Yeah,
I mean that's what when in reality he's breaking free from the McCarthy game plan
by doing that. Yeah, And McDaniel is eighty three percent pre snap movement,
and every damn game, all game, there's receivers open and a quarterback
who's very accurate in short to mid range passes to get it there. I
don't know that's what I'm saying, but I mean, the star is pretty
bright around Mike McCarthy right now. And if you're the Cowboys, they're still
going to be in the twenties first round picks. It's not like you're likely
giving up a top twelve pick or anything. It's kind of amazing. Top
five teams using pre snap motion Dolphins, Chiefs forty nine, Ers, Jets,
Bucks. Top five most explosive play Dolphins Jeeves forty nine Ers, Jetsy,
Then with Zach Wilson for the top five teams. I mean, like,
and that's not as simple as just juice presnet motion, and the Cowboys
aren't near the bottom of the league and using presnet motion. But it's like
it's just something to watch. I just think if the Cowboy I mean,
do the Cowboys ever I mean you could say they win, they get it
done, but do they ever like scare or intimidate when they walk out on
the field and they think, oh my god, this offense, what are
we going to see today? No, like, not even close to that.
And every time the Dolphins walk out, yes, a blend of personnel
which they've catered to their system and just gone with speed and paid a pretty
penny for it. I mean, you paid a lot for Tyreek Hill and
moved up for Waddle. But I don't know they scare people when they walk
on the field. The Cowboys don't even come close to intimidating someone with their
offensive creativity. Well, you know what the the Dolphins end up doing is
they they make their opponent each week spend a lot of time game planning for
them for their offense. Do you think that the Cowboys? I don't think
people are spending as much time figuring out what how to defend the Cowboys offense
as they do Miami's. And that's valuable time. You know, that's hours
that that is extra hours in the in the film room. That's extra hours
with your coaching staff working on stuff, community, communicating that stuff with with
with your players. It's they don't make it easy on your opponent when when
you see Miami on your schedule. And I think that's valuable. Even even
if some of the preta pre snap stuff is kind of window dressing, you
still have to account for it. You still have to understand what they're doing
when they get into those four emotions or try to Yeah, bad news,
the trade offers off the table. Oh you've declined. Yeah you should have
signed. You should have run to the podium to I think, I really
do. I might they do something I mean loco like that. I mean
I would negotiate a one in a two and try to see if I can
get you there like a first round or in a sick rounder. Maybe not
in the same draft. Spread them out so we don't get killed here,
because you do have to keep adding, Uh, that's interesting. Mark McCarthy's
not the only problem on the team. We're not saying that, But like,
I think the personnel is kind of okay. I think the offensive line
is are the biggest problem more than any of your past catchers outside of Michael
Gallup, who's disappeared. Did y'all hear the kirk Cousins audience disapear? What
do you mean he's disappeared? He was targeted a lot. He just can't
catch the ball or and or Dak can't get it to him. He's in
his head or something's going on there. Did y'all hear the kirk Cousins audio
by chance? No? No, I on the place for you Kirk Cousins
after the Bear, after the Vikings beat the Bears nineteen to thirteen. I
think we all kind of liked kirk Cousins a little more after watching that Netflix
show The Quarterback. Sure, and then this will trans positioned us into baseball
for Rangers. Uh. Garrett Bradbury in the locker room pregame, I took
a clip from the from the Texas Rangers and make sure that Creed got played
before we went out in the field, and I felt like that that may
have made the difference. So we got that going for us. But take
any questions, Yeah, what made you decide to play with Freed? You
know that the Rangers have been playing creating their role in the playoffs, and
uh, uh you know, we've been listening to it in the lifts a
little bit here and there, but music banging on the on the on the
boom box, most pregames, and uh in the locker room, we thought
maybe mix it up, mixed up to genre a little bit at some Creed
in there, and uh, Garrett made sure it happened, and uh it
was, Uh, it was well received. We started, you know,
quite a catalog, but we started with with higher, with higher this week.
We didn't want to you know, we didn't want to overstep our bounds.
So we just won Higher and then uh, you know, next week,
maybe we can see what we go to from there, a new tradition.
Well, you know, we'll see. But uh, you know,
I just may have made the difference. Who knows. I just love Creed,
Oh God, Creed. According to this article in Fox for Creeds.
According to this Spotify says that on October eleventh, so that's one week together
day and it's the day after the Rangers beat the Orioles. Streams of Creed
songs were up one hundred and seventy five percent compared to the average in September.
And we've done it once. Yeah, you know it's this, he
told Jared Sandler. It makes it feel like this has been going on.
This is a season long, bitter longer. But this has been played one
time, one time, but we've been talking about it. We'll have one
playoffs and stole the idea for the vikings. Yeah, because he was sick
with all that rap music. Yeah, he basically said that, and then
he said, we don't want to push our luck. Ye. Justin Jefferson
got hurt and he's like, well, I've got the boom box out.
It's it's just sitting there. It's just sitting in Double Jay's locker. All
right, let's play some white Christian metal, just one song. But if
there was a quarterback, it was gonna do it. Boy. Kirk Cousins
is the guy that would be the Creed guy. I thought it was cool
when they did the Creed sing along at the game. You know, it's
Game three of the DS against the Orals, and they did go out to
the bullpen and he and he's back there of the bullpen and just throws up
his arm like, yeah, they're doing like he'd been waiting all year.
I didn't see that he was. This is great reporting by Jared Sandler because
this is taking off over the last ten days, and this was nothing that
anyone knew anything about. You know, Creed somehow benefiting too, is their
creams are going. I think about the members of Creed that were just kind
of sitting around, you know, I don't know what they're doing these days,
but you start getting these these as cap BMI publishing checks showing up in
your mail. Whoa, whoa, what happened? Hello? This is great
you righters? All right, let's think life is wrestling? Is Scott staff
like in town right now? Okay, so I've I looked at this.
So if you would use him for the national anthem, yeah, we're soon
that he knows the song. Oh, he's definitely done national anthems. Would
you like to discuss some of the ceremonial things going on tonight? Yes,
yes, seven o'clock parking. Let's open at three thirty. By the way,
so mac schers are against of course Christian Javier too. First names.
Your first pitch will be thrown out by Ian Kinsler to Derek Hollin. So
that'll probably get a big cheer from the crowd. They're giving out thirty thousand
Rangers rally towels brought to you by on the Border, and the national anthem
will be sung by the Strikeout Kings. But so no one and okay,
Coofax, Roger Clemens get out there. Oh so no luck on that.
Uh sorry, I pulled that out of my computer, Dan's computer. JJ.
Sorry. They also added a new food item, mikey good, big
text torta. It's a red and blue soft torta bun. And then it's
got no one Ryan brisket, a split Texas chili, all beef, hot
dog, an egg, what the are you kidding? Almost what slash tomatoes,
shreds lettuce case? You know what? Fine? They triggered me to
do it again yesterday we took on what is the fair food funnel cake.
Oh, this is gonna be in big trouble. No, no, no,
I'm with you on this anti torta. I don't know. I don't
even know if it's with you on that sandwich. I've never had a torta.
That blue me away. I'm out. Yeah, I don't know so
much. I tried because love Banketta is such a staple for me and my
diet once a week. I tried the torta one time. Incredible. It
was just absolutely banging. I feel like the meat to bread ratio is thrown
off. I agree, not there it was. Now. I'll say I've
had some bad poe boys on that note, and I love a great po
boy, So I could eat a tortu that that blows my balls off.
But I've yet to have one. And I'm sure the text is going to
blow up with either great tortos or calling me an idiot, and I can
handle both of them. Well, they're not doing themselves any favor, any
favors by slapping a freaking egg on this one. You know. It's kind
of like on board. It's like, yeah, sure, that's weird,
and you're throwing a hot dog and some chili and Nolan Ryan's brisket. Oh
egg, thanks, I'm that guy. Oh my god. Nothing drives me
more insane than watching those damn cooking shows, which I love, and seeing
these chefs that you watch and you respect and you want their recipes, and
you're looking at their t techniques and you want to try to do that in
your own kitchen. And they talk about how they're making the most perfect hamburger.
Oh, and what makes the burger the best is when you put a
fried egg on it. Die, what are you doing it? And they
cut it in half and the orange good all over the meat. And then
it shows the guy, well, eggs are so good? What is it
with food people like chefs and all that sort that just think that eggs are
so amazing. Yes, I love you, I mean I love you too,
dude, but I'm not anti egg I will eat migas and I'll have
scrambled eggs. But man, when you start getting into that world of runny
eggs and fried eggs and over easy and sunnyside up, man, go to
hell and burd. I like my eggs over hard, Okay, Otherwise I
really won't eat eggs, like I don't need it. The gooy was putting
eggs on hamburgers. Some people completely with you. God, he's a nasty
bitch. That nasty bitch puts eggs on his hamburgers. Your brother, Oh
yeah, yeah, he'll try anything. Yeah, he loves all everything.
Uh I let's wain, let's win. But I'm telling you, if we
keep winning, God forbid another week or two, we're going to see Scott's
staff here. Oh, I think he might be saving it for the ws
the how do you want to say it? Of knocking on the wound?
You get to get on Saturday Night Live, like, what's happening? Now?
Are they back? It's funny you mentioned that because we were wondering what
would a national anthem sung by Scott Staff? All right, we have to
go all the way back to the year two thousand and five, where Scott's
Staff was invited to sing the national anthem at the NASCAR Ford four hundred Championship
in Homestead, Florida. Mikey, Yes, and uh, let's pick it
up right at the beginning. I have not listened to this at all,
but here's the second before I see the mic lifted to his mouth. Here's
Scott's staff with the national anthem eighteen years ago? Who see? Can you
see? By the jonserly loved? Who? What's so proudly? He?
Here's the twes last leave me who's brought stripes? I can stop this whenever
you want, Go ahead, miked. He sounds like he might have a
nice voice. It's like but it's like, oh see can you she?
Yeah? When he starts constricting his merton, she, I mean, why
why are you doing that for the national anthem? Can he sing the song
can You Take Me Higher? Yes? And where do you fit it in?
You can't fit it in post national anthem, would have to be before
national anthem. You're got to round him up and see that they're getting along
and make sure he's still sober, and like, we could skip America the
Beautiful, the bonus song that gets thrown in before the national anthem. Now
seventh stretch when we really need to cuts into taking me out to the ball
game? What about doing the stretch long enough? We gotta do the cut
and eyed Joe, Yeah, which we broke the lyrics down a while ago.
Great, I don't know. I mean that plays your bets. Yeah,
I think we probably see Scott's no cotton eye. Joe just came on.
Oh no, he's opening his throat. He's probably got a nice voice.
Urged all the suite, We're so curld Lee stream, here come jets
flying over bell the Rockets, weird Vols, Birsty. You should see the
blank faces of the NASCAR gads, they're just gonna go. He stap weird,
it's sweet through it. Scott Sippar sticks the landing. Here, guys,
oh seear dolls there stars span Angel okay, Cwner, he wants it
to see step Florida. That's the lamp. Well that stuff, thank you.
So shure's your through six live batting practice. He threw sixty eight pitches.
He said that in the fourth inning he really tried to step on it.
Like every fastball, every off speed pitch, he was ripping it.
What do you get it up to ninety four? Don't have a gun on
that? Well you look that up? Yeah, thanks you. Actually,
he said, held it fine. So he said, I don't know how
it translates doing a sim game in an empty stadium to the playoffs, but
I'm ready. Boche said, he's been whipping my ass yep, like I
thought. Our buddy Evan Grant had a great article that kind of calmed me
and reset me. And the headline is says Max Scherzer returns to the mound
for Game three. Rangers don't need him to be their savior, and it's
like, just just be a starter. And that's so true because I'm like
dreaming about the best of Max Scherzer, which has probably not been seen in
many years due thirty nine years old coming off an injury and by the way,
nod because this is what eight twelve week injury and he came back in
five for tonight, like this is awesome at age thirty nine. This is
cool. We don't need Cy Young up there. You take this start for
Max Scherzer. Okay, I'll answer, go ahead, And the first thing
is three innings, three and two thirds innings, two runs, Yes,
well you take that. Yes, Other than starting, whoever would go in
his stead? I mean, if he were, I think three is probably
the cap on it. But if he's three and two thirds and two runs,
he's probably leaving the basis chucked or at least two on, so that's
gonna be four. Or he's you know, thrown a ton of pitches.
You know, he's throwing between fifteen and twenty an inning, and he's laboring
out there. They might yank him after sixty pitches. My premonition last night
was that he will come out and it will be much like de Gram's opening
day start, where the first inning is like, holy crap, we finally
got a pitcher. It goes well in the first inning, in the second
starts to get beat her out a little bit. That's what I think is
gonna happen. But monitor a how he's feeling, because next year does matter
a little bit. B Though, if it starts like it's gonna go bad
quickly, Yankee, I'm sure they've got it. I'm sure Heiney or Martin
Pez because they'll come in and switch the hand on it. They might be
lightly warming up. Regardless, they're getting man. And one thing we haven't
seen yet in this series it's only been two games, is the breakout big
bats opening that sucker up. I'm fully anticipating seven or eight runs by the
Rangers tonight. If he at home, they are going to be bursting at
the seams to rake. If he goes five innings and gave up zero or
one runs, it's the equivalent of a no hitter, no doubt. Like
just the way it's gonna feel well the old Yeah, I regretted something this
morning, and it should have been a bit that we were pushing yesterday next
because Max Scherzer is heterochromatic and we all should have worn two different shoes today.
Oh damn it. I swear to god. I was like I should
have worn because I don't have contacts, you know, And if you go
to work today with like one contact in, that might be kind of funny,
like a cool little tribute to Max. But that's not something we can
all do. I won't do eye stuff, so yeah, yeah, I
don't play eye games. I draw the line there. But if you're getting
dressed right now, you have a casual job, wear two different shoes,
two different colored shoes today and tweet at ninety seven one the freak as a
subtle nod to Max Sureser. Or paint one of your nipples brown and the
other blue and show up without a shirt. You know what, if you
have nipple paint, you can do that. If you only have one pair
of shoes and nipple paint, you can do that as a tribute to Max
Shureser. But two different color shoes today, yeah. Or half beard,
shave off half your beard on one side of the face, clean, shave
it on the other shide. Asking for the world here, I'm trying to
make it easy on everyone. Not everybody has shoes. Mister rich boy,
I would like to apologize You're right any Sometimes I get so wrapped up on
my own stuff that I forget. Oh boy, some people only have one
shoe. Move some spots Katie. Coming up next, we have a fierce
update on the Oklahoma City Python. Your chance to win maths tickets at eight
fun Stuff Ahead next. Ninety seven won the Freak
