We had to be I'm 7 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.960 gonna try something now because here's how we were actually gonna start the show. 8 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.000 I'm gonna pop pop up my computer again, Maddy. We're gonna try this 9 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.880 now. We're gonna do this the way we planned on doing it in three 10 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:44.240 two warm. That's nice. Sounds like a tenacious deal. Hey man, 11 00:00:45.159 --> 00:01:14.159 let it breathe your hand on his arm. He stuck charm around your neck, 12 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.439 strung on a thing, calling some friends, trying to cast some check 13 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:45.519 execting time. That's what you've called to expect. We're tracking two big stories 14 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.159 for you all day, including whatever the f happened yesterday at at and T 15 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:57.560 Stadium. Sadness good God Paul hangs over the Metroplex in the form of snow. 16 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.879 But we played that song for the director at NBC five. That's losing 17 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.719 his job this morning because the weather cut in. Well, you know who's 18 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.080 gonna save his job? You're all just Kevin Smith at seven forty on the 19 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.520 down beat. We got him. We got him to him on the phone 20 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.080 yesterday right before kickoff. Yeah, and he said, I'll call in a 21 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:22.120 seven thirty five. I said, mom, Man, he's dialed in and 22 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.639 he has fun astrology, fun facts. If you guys have ever seen him 23 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.000 at night, if you needed cheering up, yeah, and you think astrology 24 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.439 might do it. Yeah, he's guy. He's worked at Florida a little 25 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:36.240 bit. He spent all the time out in Florida. Tallahassee, that's La, 26 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.639 that's lower Alabama, that's barely Florida. I didn't count. I don't 27 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.360 count. But he will join us at seven forty for the latest on the 28 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.080 weather and the row ads. We're gonna be all over this is there gonna 29 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.080 be a coaching change. We'll dive into that at nine eight o'clock. We'll 30 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.080 have a little fun. I've a I wrote a bit of a song, 31 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.240 at least an idea of a song three years ago, four years ago, 32 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.520 and the Cowboys hired Mike McCarthy and I've just been waiting on it and it 33 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.719 will unleash itself at eight twenty. But man, let's talk about how we 34 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.400 all got to work, and then at six fifteen we'll dive into our preliminary 35 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.599 cowboys and packers thoughts. I'll say this, I'm sure there's corporate overlords who 36 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:21.719 want me to come in and start screaming. I would if this was out 37 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.919 of the ordinary. This is right, and this is like when Paul Corvino 38 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.360 started freaking out one time when Jerry there's breaking news a sexual assault hearing for 39 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.199 Jerry, I was like, yes, the one hundredth one since I've been 40 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.759 working here. You're new here, Like this happens every week because Wednesday, 41 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.000 a disappointing cowboys loss is a Christmas tradition. It's like skin go to get 42 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.240 cancer scans. It's a tradition like none other. I mean, it's like 43 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.240 he it's that I gotta do. You know, it's essentially just gonna be 44 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.639 a sea of cowboys and weather talk for a few hours, Yeah, with 45 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.879 a lot of laughs mixed ten and what I've decided to do though, for 46 00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:02.280 the that really want to earn it. Nine thirty we'll give you a chance 47 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.159 to win MAVs tickets. How about that? Really stick around till then your 48 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:11.080 joints, because there's as we have too much crap, you know, tonight 49 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.080 today is filled with too much crap. We have MAVs basketball like one thirty, 50 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.399 which is great, love it daytime. I won't about you, guys. 51 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.680 I'm gonna go get in bed and watch the MAVs. Then we're gonna 52 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.839 have the Bills game that got postponabill table. More about that later in the 53 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.920 night. Game with the Eagles of Bucks or somehow still in the playoffs longer 54 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:32.040 than the Cowboys. That's ridiculous. But man, the Emmys are night too, 55 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.720 and uh we'll let you call in pick a horse and we'll have a 56 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:40.079 little Emmy's ballot watching that. We're doing that. A couple winners of good 57 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.720 MAVs tickets, how about that? Okay, that's easy, right, picking 58 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.839 winners again? Yeah, well pick winners. They got eight categories, nice 59 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.920 and easy, so we have something to have some reason to pay attention to 60 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.920 the Emmys tonight. Cool, so roads good? Uh yeah, Honestly, 61 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.199 my report is no, no real problems. I mean, I'm not saying 62 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.839 get out there and drive you shouldn't. And I was surprised that it was 63 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.639 snowing when I woke up. I live in North Oak Cliff and two dogs 64 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.920 at the house. One of them charges straight out and makes his he pushes 65 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.399 his lemonade. The other one quick U turn right back into the bedroom. 66 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.160 Oh no, yeah, didn't get to do the business. Yeah, Hendrix 67 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:21.079 said, No, Dice really not interested. And he's normally the hard charger 68 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.839 out there in all conditions because he loves p n Yeah. So Simon made 69 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.800 lemonade. Yes, Simon push yellow, but Hendrix didn't go around back where 70 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.800 fudge is made. No that the handy rime didn't come into play this morning. 71 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.000 I'm sorry, so Hendrix, if anyone's concerned for relatability purposes, I 72 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.839 have one dog who's just full of pepe warm bed right now. No, 73 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.000 but I'm surprised that it was snowing, right because we had a pump fakes 74 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.399 all day yesterday where I was expecting snow. Oh my god, if it's 75 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.199 gonna be this cold, let's see a little pretty. But yeah, no, 76 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.199 uh, no problem, no, And then you know there was dusting. 77 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:00.560 I'm like, all right, how's this going to be. So do 78 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.240 you do this when you pull out of your driveway and you get to kind 79 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.959 of an empty road right there, you give it a quick excel and a 80 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:10.040 quick hard break and you go ahead and just check the Yeah you can handle. 81 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.839 Yeah, see what we got going down? And I had nothing there, 82 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.439 And honestly, yeah, not encouraging anyone to drive. Screw it, 83 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:21.439 stay home. It's a lovely holiday, but no real problems for me. 84 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:27.040 Man. Toll Way North was good, probably sixty the whole way. Yeah, 85 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.720 because you've got snow hitting which isn't wet. It's a nice dry dusting 86 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:35.160 which is hitting frozen ass ground, so you're you're fine. Yeah. Now 87 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.879 the problem is is once you get a lot of folks on the road between 88 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:44.360 like now and ten in the morning, and the friction of those tires is 89 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.399 making that snow turn, you know, into water, and then that refreezes, 90 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:53.040 then maybe tomorrow might be a different story. But I think it's I 91 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.759 checked the forecast and it looks like this dusting is pretty quick, and yeah, 92 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.199 it's not gonna last long. But maybe I have the I think you 93 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.519 and I have about the same distance. Yeah, maybe mine's a little bit 94 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:11.079 longer. And today I got routed up seventy five thirty to downtown and then 95 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.360 north seventy five. Everything was fine, you know, and I'm not trying 96 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.000 to drive the normal seventy seventy five like I would. I'm keeping it around 97 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:26.319 forty five fifty that came to I wouldn't say a screeching halt, But there 98 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.720 was a car in front of me. And you ever noticed when, like 99 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.560 maybe it happens in all forms of auto racing, but either NASCAR, f 100 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:40.279 one Indy car when they first kind of do that practice lap where they're just 101 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:45.800 weaving back and forth and kind of getting their tires broken in like just going 102 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.839 across the whole track. There was a four door like Toyota, like a 103 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.839 ninety nine Toyota that was about eight car links in front of me that was 104 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.639 doing just that. It is warm of the tires, and he was going 105 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:03.920 about thirty five and nobody wanted to pass him. So you have this what 106 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.519 looked like a presidential funeral procession behind him because nobody is willing to try to 107 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:16.240 overtake this dude that is just either drunk or has something wrong with his car. 108 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.800 And then at the last minute before a right about Quoit road. This 109 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.199 guy just makes the biggest, hardest swerve all the way to the right lane 110 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.680 to take the exit, and then everybody starts driving him. Yes, it 111 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.000 was in. I think they were hammered. Probably. You think lot of 112 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.120 people are drunk. I drink after last night's game. Yeah, hammered at 113 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:48.360 five am, just driving home from what happened. That dude went to the 114 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.759 bar, drowned his sorrows, had a buddy that had cocaine. They went 115 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.000 back to his house. They stayed up all night long drinking more. Any 116 00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.120 guy thinks he's awake because of the cocaine, but he's really really hammered, 117 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.000 and he's I'm just gonna go home. And that's who I followed to work 118 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.720 today. I wish it didn't happen more often than we thought, but it 119 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.960 does. It does. Let the cocaine all night or yes, if you're 120 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.639 on cocaine right now two one four eight one seven seven eight seven one night, 121 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.240 Yeah, stuff on cocaine, and we will accept your road report. 122 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.720 Two one four at or eight one seven seven eight seven one night seven one 123 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.840 all day long? Can I it's eleven degrees right now outside? Do you 124 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.600 guys know what the real feel is why don't your real feel these nuts and 125 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.720 find out? You know what I'm saying. This guy knows I'm talking about. 126 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.240 See, you still tell jokes even though the Cowboys lost. We're not 127 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:45.000 gonna be some sad SAPs. I already told the Metroplex here. I was 128 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.120 side roaded again from Richardson, and I had no problems. Yeah, the 129 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:54.080 I and I was checking the hourly weather forecast last night and it was the 130 00:09:54.080 --> 00:10:00.919 precipitation chances had been dropping really since Saturday, even though sight they had dropped. 131 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.039 And this is one of those things where we were talking about this damn 132 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.960 winter storm since Tuesday of last week, and we built it up and it 133 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.080 sucked. We get nothing. Which it sucked is means it's good. Yeah, 134 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.879 Now, if the winter storm is good, that means it's bad for 135 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:18.919 us. Makes sense? Start over? Please don't. I won't. There's 136 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:24.679 some morbid truth to that though, like we had the thread of like Snowmageddon, 137 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.039 you kind of want it. I don't know why the chaos. I 138 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.559 know knew. I knew we were driving in this morning, no no questions 139 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:37.720 asked, We're doing the damn show. But I still wanted. I don't 140 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.000 know I wanted chaos, not cast for I don't want to you know, 141 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.240 no cars to get spun out or anything, but you just want wildness. 142 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.279 And I felt, at least until this morning, it felt like a big 143 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.159 wet nothing. At least we got some chunk in this morning. I mean 144 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.840 it's snowing like. But again, yes, the news is the roads are 145 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.120 a okay. A couple of people texting in with updates saying much the same. 146 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.399 Shout out to the road. Some dude came from a Debton to Frisco 147 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.240 for work. He said, no problems whatsoever. So yeah, I think 148 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.159 everybody's okay right now, but you're right if the freeze continues and the wet 149 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.720 turns into ice. Honestly, I was thinking that our drive home might be 150 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.440 harder than our drive in was this morning. Agree, it's possible, and 151 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.440 tomorrow is gonna be the coldest day. You know. This is that's the 152 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.639 big the big bummer about it all. This is we just got in three 153 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.279 straight days of the temperatures being in the fifteens and that sucks. I hate 154 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.759 the cold straight up, like, couldn't handle it. Give me one hundred 155 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.279 and ten all day. I can deal with that. Way easier than I 156 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.679 can deal with eleven degrees, dude. Christina and I went and got a 157 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.120 little brecky yesterday and she did that and it is sort of Gennaro radio talk, 158 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.200 but she's like, would you rather have this? And it was like 159 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.720 thirteen degrees or one ten? And she's like, would you rather live in 160 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.039 a place that was like this? Every day? Every day? Every day? 161 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.039 And then I'm like, are there those places? I guess Antarctica, 162 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:03.000 sure, which no one really lives. Yeah, nobody lives there and calls 163 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.960 it home. People have there temporarily. Well, there's the people that watched 164 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.480 the new episode one of the New True Detective and tell me if you want 165 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.799 to live there. I'm going to watch that on Wednesday. I watched it 166 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.480 last night. Is that Alaska? Yeah, but it's right within the Arctic 167 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:24.559 Circle. And the show starts with their last day of sun. Yeah, 168 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.360 it's like the final day of them having sun, and then they go into 169 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.159 that period. They go into that period the sun never comes up. Yeah 170 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.279 fast, that's a good bit. Actually, now I've had up to here 171 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:39.519 with cold weather shows, so I will say I am pretty amped up about 172 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:45.399 tomorrow night, season finale of Fargo on FX and watching that in the fifteen 173 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:50.320 degree temperatures, wild stuff happens night Country. The New True Detective makes Fargo 174 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.320 look like Palm Beach. Yeah, it's crazy where they live. Is it 175 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.399 good? I don't know. It's a big set up episode. I don't 176 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.879 know if it's going to be good yet, Denny, I'm Jodi Foster. 177 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:09.440 Oh wow, on a holiday morning. It's Jody Sandler. Everyone, Hey 178 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:18.039 pen your penguin? Heydu? I mean a couple of people texting in. 179 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.919 It's guys that drove from Princeton to m'squit and got told to turn around and 180 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.200 go back home. What what's that mean? That means it's Carry's Princeton, 181 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:30.159 the guy told to turn around and go back home from what the client? 182 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.159 Yeah, probably work, is what I'm guessing. Maybe he was the one 183 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.960 that showed up on cocaine. Yeah, he was the one swerving thirty into 184 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.639 Fort Worth from Parker County. All good, brody, our logistics first responder 185 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.559 checking in. He says that all his driver's belt, He's going to pick 186 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.679 up a kidney at DFW for a rush up. Roads are a little slick. 187 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.639 I think that's a good terminology, though they are lost the kidney. 188 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:58.200 Last night of the pay per view, Gunther slapped a kidney out of somebody 189 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.200 save it. He texted me yesterday He's like Brody text me, He's like, 190 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:07.000 cowboys could smash in the playoffs. This is the real beginning of the 191 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:13.799 road to WrestleMania. Okay, like save these for talkbacks? Yes, so 192 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.559 yeah, Roger, mostly fine, be careful. I'll say that. Good 193 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.679 news is I think a lot of people don't have to go to work today, 194 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.080 so and I'm sure a lot of companies these days too, are like, 195 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.759 you know what, if there's even a hint of inclement weather, stay 196 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.919 at home. You know, so that's a that's happening. Mole track it 197 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.279 for you. We'll have an update seven forty from a meteorologist. We're going 198 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.080 right now and say this. I don't know how you can have a playoff 199 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.600 game at home, be the number two seed, be really good, feel 200 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.960 good about things, and then come out and just crap on at and T 201 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.639 Stadium. I don't know how you can do that. It's kind of inexcusable. 202 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.519 And it's not that I've been trying to get McCarthy fired for uh, 203 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.960 since he got here. I've been trying to get him fired. I've just 204 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:05.120 been trying to send warning signs that stuff like this happens. This is very 205 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.120 McCarthy, all of this and dan Quinn's defense gave up fifty points, and 206 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.360 maybe he doesn't need to have a head coaching job, the guy who blowd 207 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.399 twenty eight to three Super Bowl, Like, I'm I get it. How 208 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.840 is this? You can't this, This is not gonna work. Jerry's not 209 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:26.639 gonna allow this. You can't go backwards. McCarthy's getting fired probably tomorrow. 210 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:33.159 I think they'll have meetings today that aren't emotional, and I think it's done. 211 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.480 And I don't know who he wants. It's Bill, if it's Haarball 212 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.600 or whatever, but McCarthy's gonna be needing a new job. I think they're 213 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:43.919 gonna go ahead and pull the cut the cord. And don't you think the 214 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.559 way they lost that we thought that, we thought it was a possible option 215 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.200 that if McCarthy got fired, they just slide Quinn over. You think he's 216 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:58.159 gonna stay on this Titanic. I don't if he fires, Quinn's like nyieah, 217 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:00.559 I'm gone too, bro. So not only are you going to have 218 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.720 to replace McCarthy, you're gonna have to find a DC. Yeah, we 219 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:10.159 talked about the scenarios that could lead to I felt weird last week talking about 220 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.159 that. It's a great fun conversation to have as the whole what has to 221 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:17.679 happen for mccarthur to get canned today basically or tomorrow. And it happened. 222 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:26.120 It happened drastically. That's what happens is a disaster getting punked by the Packers, 223 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.200 getting whipped in almost every aspect of the game. So gosh, it's 224 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.399 funny to hear you say that. I was wondering where you guys heads would 225 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.120 be, especially after one night's sleep, where at least you Yeah, I'll 226 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.000 close your eyes for a little bit and have a little clarity in the morning. 227 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:44.559 But I am pretty much with you when you factor in Jerry's reaction, 228 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.919 Why what's worthy of keeping? I suppose when you think of Mike McCarthy, 229 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:55.919 and yeah, there's an argument to be made about consistent quality in the regular 230 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.159 season, I guess. I mean, there is some truth to that, 231 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.559 but this is a calm, steady hand franchise right now, and they have 232 00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.559 been in the past. But boy, it feels like something drastic is required 233 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.799 in response to that disaster yesterday. Doesn't it feel like they kind of fooled 234 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:18.680 us all year that a lot of those those eleven or twelve wins were I've 235 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:25.200 heard the term empty calories thrown around. I okay, it was just kind 236 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.240 of a rise that, Oh yeah, you beat crappy teams at home. 237 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.039 I think the Buffalo Bills game in the San Francisco forty nine Ers game this 238 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:34.000 year tell you all you need to know. You didn't compete in those games 239 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:38.279 against legit super Bowl contenders, So why was this team ever a super Bowl 240 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.839 contender? And here most of the fan base, most of us that talk 241 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.559 about this thing, didn't think they would ever have a chance of beating the 242 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.519 forty nine ers anyways, So that tells shit probably wouldn't good enough. So 243 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.799 how close are you? Tell you? It was a tough one for me 244 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.000 as well. The best thing that the Cowboys do. And oh, by 245 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.200 the way, we're gonna talk coaches a little bit, players play, players 246 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:03.640 coming out and sucking and having happy body language and just having weird bad penalties 247 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.200 unforgivable. I don't know what to tell you when it comes to that. 248 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.519 You can't I can't help you there if I was making on you for comedy 249 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:18.599 purposes. For you know, a long list of predictions for that game, 250 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.519 for the Ghost Pepper pavilions. I couldn't have written a narrative like that. 251 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:30.079 Every single thing that could go wrong would from top to bottom, every damned 252 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:37.039 aspect. You get a home game indoors, and that was that was your 253 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.440 performance. Jerry kept top to bottom something after the game too. He kept 254 00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.640 mentioning next week. That tells me they weren't locked in. He kept mentioning 255 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.599 next week. I just wanted another home game next week. Well, I 256 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.640 mean a lot of things that you can say about that game. They are 257 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:57.240 just typical Cowboys crap that happens, not being ready to play whatever. How 258 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.880 much is Jerry willing to tolerate. Here's the thing that I couldn't handle. 259 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.920 The Cowboys pretty good at drafting. I don't know about you, guys. 260 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:10.319 I saw Scoonmaker make one bad mistake and didn't hear Mazzie Smith once during yesterday's 261 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:15.200 game. You know who I did hear all day yesterday? Long Packers rookies 262 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:19.680 wicks. Jayde Reed didn't even have a catch. He's been really good Valentine, 263 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.400 who played good at cornerback. Kind of shut ceedee lamb down a little 264 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:30.920 bit yesterday van Ness making plays like they had all these guys on defense, 265 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.720 they're like, I mean offense, they have fight four or five rookies contributing, 266 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.920 Bo Melton, Tucker, Kraft, Luke Musgrave, all these rookies. 267 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.480 Granted they had extra picks because the Aaron Rodgers trade. All these rookies making 268 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.440 plays. Man, the Cowboys were absent when it came to that. You 269 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.400 know, their third round pick towards ACL in preseason, so maybe they would 270 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.960 have gotten something out of him. That's the one thing that the Cowboys as 271 00:19:55.000 --> 00:20:00.759 an organization truly do well. And don't I get rolling my eyes when we 272 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.480 start talking about Dallas Cowboys country club atmosphere. I always used to rote roll 273 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.720 my eyes of that crap. Dude. The Valley Rancher was not a country 274 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.519 club. It was It was one of the worst facilities in football. Valley 275 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.920 Rancher's garbage now kind of is. I guess truth is they were not ready 276 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:19.599 to go, and maybe the game's different. If the Packers don't have an 277 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.480 eight minute drive to start the game, maybe the game is different. Off 278 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.839 Ceedee Lamb and Dak connect on that third and five. You know, the 279 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:32.119 Cowboys ended nine of their eleven possessions in Packers territory. They moved the ball. 280 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.119 The stats aren't gonna look good. The stats were really low after the 281 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:41.319 first quarter because they had one possession, like that's not necessarily like We're started 282 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.400 looking at the empty garbage time stats and people are gonna tell about the Cowboys 283 00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:48.160 moved the ball. They moved the ball almost at will. They made horrible 284 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:53.240 mistakes, horrible. The pick six is unforgivable interceptions. Though. The first 285 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.079 interception, that's the cornerback making a great play in your wide receiver not fighting 286 00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.559 for the ball. Well, the second one is a handing seven points to 287 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:06.359 exactly. I am not happy with the offense. I saw your tweet last 288 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.839 night and your twitter war. Jeezuz, you said, well, you said 289 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:14.839 the old offense was cruising. They did. I wouldn't use that terminology. 290 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.640 Okay, maybe I should have said they were moving the ball. Maybe that's 291 00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:22.000 a that's better than cruising. I think it's seven points at halftime. And 292 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.960 this is you know, the top one of the top offenses in the sport 293 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.920 against a bad Packer defense, Yes, allegedly. I'm just saying, get 294 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.640 two stops in it. The game was on the defense. Yeah, the 295 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:41.960 defense was embarrassing yesterday, but the Packers' offense is really damn good. And 296 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:47.519 they forced some third and longs and Jordan Love just kept hitting Romeo Dobbs on 297 00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:52.400 that damn route that the Dolphins usually hit a Tyreek hill, like that little 298 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.599 thing where he's just there. And then that touchdown pass was it to Wicks 299 00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:59.519 or the third the post over Gilmour beautiful? Yeah, Gilmour didn't show up 300 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:02.720 yesterday. But they were forcing third and medium, third and lungs and they 301 00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:07.839 just couldn't get off the field. And Love look like a seven eight year 302 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:12.079 veteran whatever Dak is. They looked the Cowboys' defense in the secondary in particular, 303 00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:17.640 they looked like they were scared to play man on that Packer team yesterday, 304 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.359 it seemed like there were so many little soft pockets that were just open. 305 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.519 Anytime Jordi Love wanted to, you know, needed to convert, they 306 00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:32.119 were there and they were open, like wide open. You you typically didn't 307 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:34.279 have a guy within five or six yards of these receivers when they needed to 308 00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:37.400 get make a when they needed to make a play and the Cowboys just gave 309 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.160 it to him. Did you notice that that it just seemed like a ton 310 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.400 of like really soft zone with a lot of like just open bubbles for them, 311 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.319 like all afternoons. So two thoughts I had on that one, And 312 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.799 is it Cowboys? The Cowboys typically play a lot of really tight man. 313 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.720 Yeah, when they play a ton of man. And one thing that I 314 00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:59.319 thought about that was maybe, for whatever reason, they were just playing that 315 00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:02.480 whole game of well, we're gonna throw off you know what we normally do, 316 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.599 here's our tendencies. We're to switch it up. Jordan Love will have 317 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:08.920 a hard time reading that, and I think the Packers planned for that. 318 00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:11.440 I'll say this too, though, Jordan Love I think was third in the 319 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.599 league against teams that play with one safety. Back to Cowboys, I think 320 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.079 play with one safety more than any other team in the league. Dan Quinn's 321 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.960 style, right, two corners, one safety, it's the same thing, 322 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:25.200 two outside corners, one safety, same thing. You're kind of doing Seattle 323 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:29.200 a little more, and I think that's the Packers have kind of tore that 324 00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.799 up all year long. I think Stephan Gilmore was not fully healthy clearly. 325 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.319 I mean, it's pretty obvious that he was not and he wasn't trying to 326 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:37.519 get involved in the run game, and there's a lot of things there that 327 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.519 you go, he couldn't throw his shoulder around. Yeah, did they play 328 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.920 that game differently? If treyvon Diggs is there, maybe they they can't put 329 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.960 any of these other corners on the field. I mean, they're out of 330 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.000 dudes outside of Jordan Lewis, Jaron Blind and Stefan Gilmore they keep. They 331 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.799 don't have another trustworthy name there. So I don't know. I don't know 332 00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.640 if this stops Dan Quindnin getting a job. I know that it doesn't. 333 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:07.440 I was surprised them, and I shouldn't have been surprised. McCarthy teams have 334 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.279 a history of not being ready to play in the playoffs. We never talk 335 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.480 about this, but I mean he's getting smoked with quite a few one of 336 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.559 them uns in the playoffs before, including a team that went fifteen to one 337 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.640 and lost to the Giants in the first round. So kind of on him, 338 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.799 kind of on everybody. So, yeah, did Jerry really say that 339 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.279 he was looking forward to next week? When? When did he say that 340 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.079 after the game or before I didn't hear him saying no, no, he's 341 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:34.960 what were you saying, I wanted to play another home game or y? 342 00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.839 Yes, he said, all my thoughts were on next week. What can 343 00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.480 we do during the game to get to next week? They asked him what 344 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.440 his plan was with McCarthy now, and yeah, he's like, my plan 345 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.680 was to get back in there and start discussing what to do in our next 346 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.440 round. Basically is what he was saying. So okay that that makes more 347 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:57.799 sense, but he basically said I haven't thought. He was basically just trying 348 00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:03.680 to handle the media scrum without answering anything right macarthy the future because they won't. 349 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.680 I'll play audio for you a little later in the show. And I 350 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.160 thought, if you're on an inside from someone who knows what happens when it 351 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:12.480 comes to getting fired in this organization, it is Jason Garrett. And now 352 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:17.000 that Jason Garrett was really pretty real. At halftime, he said, Jerry's 353 00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:18.680 gonna support I'll tell you, we'll play the audio Laterdad. He was gonna 354 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:23.440 say, play it later in the show because I do think wheels are turning 355 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:29.079 over there now. I don't know that they feel like they have a I 356 00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:30.400 don't know if they feel like they have a better option. I kept coming 357 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.000 to this last night as as I hit my head and then we'll go away 358 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.799 for a second. Or last week we were talking about that f and dumbass 359 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:45.400 Jim Harbaugh and how he just lands in good places with the good rosters and 360 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:49.759 turns it into magic somehow, even though he's not really the smartest guy in 361 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:55.960 the world. I could kind of see that happening. Please know, I 362 00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.880 could totally see that happening. And I don't know the connections. I know 363 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.599 Steven Jensen has a bit of a Belichick pass. They have they like each 364 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:08.079 other at WIST. I know that so interesting. There's there's there's things to 365 00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:11.680 consider here. Man. Maybe it's running back. Maybe the entrant run it 366 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.880 back. I think I know what I want. We'll discuss later. Oh, 367 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.960 I'll tell you what the Cowboys need to do this morning. This morning, 368 00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:23.440 before the snow melts, I will tell you what the Cowboys need to 369 00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.759 do to fix this thing. Come it up next. Though they had to 370 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:32.079 change a lot of things about NBC wild Card Weekend, NBC Wildcard, we 371 00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:36.440 can get nuts. It's got Taylor swift head injuries and how An NBC five 372 00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:38.880 Weatherman became the third most hated man in the Metroplex, next to ninety seven. 373 00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:40.359 Won the Freak
