Speaker 1: All right, this segment is brought to you by the
Speaker 1: greatness of Hurtado Barbecue, some of the best barbecue could
Speaker 1: ever have in your entire life.
Speaker 2: Our buddy, Brandon Hurtato.
Speaker 1: They have locations in Mansfield, Arlington, and Fort Worth, two
Speaker 1: locations at Globelife Field, and then now they have one
Speaker 1: in Dallas. So if you're in the two one four
Speaker 1: nine seven two you can enjoy her Tatle Barbecue arguably
Speaker 1: the best barbecue in the history of barbecue, and it
Speaker 1: is at the Dallas Farmers Market. Brandon Hurtado's family recipes.
Speaker 1: They're spit on Mexicue. It is amazing. But right now
Speaker 1: it's time for this.
Speaker 2: Good listeners, here comes kt fun tweets. We're the round.
Speaker 2: Now let's go around the sports.
Speaker 1: Kt fu queets has all the sports.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, the MAVs played last night. We get
Speaker 3: to the cowboy stuff in a second. Mass played last
Speaker 3: night in San Antonio and they won. They ran out
Speaker 3: their few eyes and they went out and fought hard,
Speaker 3: got the dub.
Speaker 2: It's a good job maps.
Speaker 4: I felt pretty confident they would split in San Antonio.
Speaker 2: Yeah you called that.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just San Antonio is in a weird place.
Speaker 4: Mavericks obviously in a weird place. And man, uh Clay
Speaker 4: Thompson was elated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like he was elated.
Speaker 4: So we did uh we did the TV interview with
Speaker 4: Kessler Edwards because he had a career.
Speaker 2: High in points and rebounds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so Clay was doing the radio interview here
Speaker 4: on the Eagle with Chuck and DeMars. And because of the
Speaker 4: way san Antonio sat up usually.
Speaker 2: That's like in the back.
Speaker 4: He was at the scores table and you know, had
Speaker 4: the headset on and he was actually sitting in a chair,
Speaker 4: and so I just I was done. So I just
Speaker 4: kind of stood there and watched him. And when he
Speaker 4: finished the radio interview, he took his headset, jumped up
Speaker 4: and pumped both fists.
Speaker 2: It's like they lost five in a row.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: Those guys don't want to wear that. I was. I
Speaker 2: was hope and for a loss.
Speaker 1: I want them to lose every game, but you can
Speaker 1: it's impossible not to respect the hell out of that.
Speaker 1: Watching that game, it's like a win win either way
Speaker 1: because I want them to get the best.
Speaker 2: Draft position they can, so I want them to lose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but how can you not cheer for those guys,
Speaker 1: like somehow they are so resilient and they compete their
Speaker 1: asses off. And this idea of tanking, it has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with players. It's it's a fantasy land, it's
Speaker 1: a video game. The coaches are playing for new contracts,
Speaker 1: the players are playing for contracts. They're competitors. They get
Speaker 1: out there on the floor, they don't want anybody to
Speaker 1: beat them. And they've lost now several games in a row.
Speaker 1: So that was impressive. Man, it was I want the
Speaker 1: best draft position possible. But dude, I was excited for
Speaker 1: the MAVs and excited for some of those dudes who
Speaker 1: really stepped up. And Klay Thompson was talking about, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm staying in Dallas. I've got a couple more years
Speaker 1: of my deal, and I still am dreaming about you
Speaker 1: know us, I can't.
Speaker 2: I'm paraphrasing.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, the injuries have been awful, but I still
Speaker 3: have our team. I still believe in this franchise. I'm
Speaker 3: here for two more seasons after this, so I'd love
Speaker 3: to help them return to glory that they, you know,
Speaker 3: were brought to in twenty eleven. And like hearing it,
Speaker 3: someone say something nice about the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 2: Pretty refreshing because you're hearing much.
Speaker 4: That's the same article where he was talking about Kyrie
Speaker 4: coming back. Is that the one in the Athletic.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, man, I know he did, like the
Speaker 3: big interview like around the Locker two or whatever.
Speaker 4: Christian Clark wrote a thing for The Athletic about Clay
Speaker 4: relating to Kyrie's situation because he went through it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and you know, and I saw that quote in that
Speaker 4: and that piece. But I if you the thing that's
Speaker 4: tough for me is like I would be all on
Speaker 4: board with them losing the remainder of their games and
Speaker 4: getting like the tenth or ninth to pick or whatever.
Speaker 4: I'd be happy with that scenario because the alternative is,
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, they don't have Kyrie, so they're
Speaker 4: not going to go on a championship run.
Speaker 2: They're just not right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And the one thing I would say is that if
Speaker 4: I thought there was a chance that Anthony Davis was
Speaker 4: coming back this year, I would say go for it,
Speaker 4: because if you have Gafford, Lively, Anthony Davis, Washington and
Speaker 4: all those guys, you could you could win some like
Speaker 4: you could get to the playoffs and maybe even win
Speaker 4: a series. Maybe, But if you're not gonna have any
Speaker 4: of those other guys back, you're just probably gonna lose
Speaker 4: the opening game of the play in you'll be the
Speaker 4: tenth seed on the road, probably at Sacramento. And even
Speaker 4: if this group of guys hangs together, keep in mind,
Speaker 4: Kessler Edwards has five games left, that's it. Brandon Williams
Speaker 4: I think has ten, but I'm not one hundred percent sure.
Speaker 2: And he's got to be healthy too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And Ky Jones, I think they're just hanging on
Speaker 4: to right now. I saw him running.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, right, So if they don't play him, they get
Speaker 1: to retain him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So it's it's when you're on two way contracts, you
Speaker 4: have a certain number I think you can play fifty games,
Speaker 4: and it's and it's actually it's game that you're like,
Speaker 4: you don't necessarily have to play, but you're suited up
Speaker 4: and eligible to play, right, right, And so he's Kessler
Speaker 4: only has five left, Brandon Williams, I think they has ten.
Speaker 2: And then ky Jones.
Speaker 4: Was like pro rated because of the so he had
Speaker 4: eleven games total.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think they have seventeen left. Eight down, yeah.
Speaker 1: Boy, I'm this is just I just want to hit
Speaker 1: the reset button and move forward to next year.
Speaker 2: There's been so much.
Speaker 1: Heartbreak and heartache, and I mean, it's just like this
Speaker 1: is the lost season and so I don't know of
Speaker 1: getting to the playoffs and then getting hammered is going
Speaker 1: to be good. But I respect the hell out of
Speaker 1: the guys for fighting and competing.
Speaker 2: I respect the.
Speaker 1: Coaches, the players, everybody and everybody who is an employee
Speaker 1: a part of the mass franchise. I get it, man,
Speaker 1: keep fighting your asses off and competing. For me, just fanboy,
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, you have your draft pick this year,
Speaker 1: you have your draft pick next year, and then you
Speaker 1: don't have them, so like, god, this is gonna this
Speaker 1: is just really you know, the trade has expedited the
Speaker 1: window so much to where it was like, all right,
Speaker 1: I think we can be good with Luca for ten
Speaker 1: to twelve years. I could be wrong on that, but
Speaker 1: if you make this trade, you can be really good
Speaker 1: for two or three years. And now losing Kyrie, it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: so now you have a year and a half when no,
Speaker 1: and so I'm just like, man, I just want as
Speaker 1: many young assets as possible, and it's just has just
Speaker 1: been a really really trying It's just like I don't
Speaker 1: think I can't remember the last time I was sports depressed.
Speaker 1: I think that I'm sports depressed. So a win absolutely
Speaker 1: helps in a lot of ways. It's it's really good
Speaker 1: for everything. But I'm just hoping for the best possible draft.
Speaker 3: Sure Cowboys fan, though, it's hard to be depressed in
Speaker 3: your Cowboys fan. Who had the second most sacks for
Speaker 3: the Cowboys last year, that's.
Speaker 2: Correct, five and a half sacks, second most.
Speaker 3: He signed with the Giants today, three at twenty Mike
Speaker 3: are tweeted it with like oh Man type thing.
Speaker 2: He didn't have, like a dove buddy. He was gonna
Speaker 2: hope it.
Speaker 3: He'd come back play little defensivevan play little defense tackle both.
Speaker 3: So he's gone, but you know whatever. The cow was
Speaker 3: just signed. Let's see here, what did they do? They
Speaker 3: signed a guy named Peyton Turner. He was a first
Speaker 3: runder in twenty twenty one for one year at three
Speaker 3: million dollars.
Speaker 2: Is he a cornerback because I don't know.
Speaker 3: He's a defensive ends. He's a pass rusher and he's
Speaker 3: not very good.
Speaker 2: They don't have any cornerback.
Speaker 3: They don't have any corners. But we wouldn't need that position.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't need that position anymore.
Speaker 4: A lot of changes in the league. Yeah, play like
Speaker 4: eleven linebackers.
Speaker 2: You need that one.
Speaker 3: Actually, it's it's true, you would need it. Let's see
Speaker 3: two sacks last year for Peyton Turner. Again not very good,
Speaker 3: but three million one year.
Speaker 2: Who cares? Did Mazzie Smith have two sacks last year?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I had it pulled up a
Speaker 2: minute ago.
Speaker 3: But he's not even in the game on third down
Speaker 3: most times.
Speaker 4: So you know, did he claps the pocket and get
Speaker 4: a couple of sacks?
Speaker 2: Probably not, Christina, probably not. We're saying that he didn't.
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, I'm gonna do this one and
Speaker 2: a half for he Hey, right, one and a half.
Speaker 2: This is some fan content. The Rangers are gonna be
Speaker 2: good though. One sack for Mazzie Okay, here's a that's
Speaker 2: a half a sack.
Speaker 3: It's like if two guys get in there and then
Speaker 3: those touch tips on the that's one ball, two guys,
Speaker 3: one sack.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Turping back three years at eighteen million, all right, six
Speaker 3: million a year for a guy they don't use an
Speaker 3: offense a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't want to use him on offense. He's he's
Speaker 1: he's made out of balsa wood. He's like five foot one.
Speaker 1: I I think he's a great returner, but I get nervous.
Speaker 1: They sometimes they throw him out there like he's a
Speaker 1: real receiver and I'm like, he's five to one.
Speaker 2: What what are you doing?
Speaker 3: Is your last head coach as an idiot who like
Speaker 3: to send him down the field like he's as ran
Speaker 3: a slant route to him, he took it to the house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they never ran another slant route all year, like
Speaker 2: what he uh, I don't know that was.
Speaker 4: He was the catalyst for really several funny moments this
Speaker 4: year on NFL broadcast where we sat.
Speaker 2: Down the with uh you know whoever.
Speaker 4: We sat down with Siriano and he said he's really
Speaker 4: worried about Dallas's return game.
Speaker 1: Right, that's what the other coaches and so we talked
Speaker 1: to the coach. He's worried about the Cowboys long snapper.
Speaker 1: They feel like he's really got the ability to put
Speaker 1: it right in your shot pocket.
Speaker 3: They're not acting like a team whose owners in his
Speaker 3: early eighties and really wants to win.
Speaker 2: A super Bowl, but you know, maybe all the teams
Speaker 2: are spending.
Speaker 1: Money right now or Rangers and Stars, Rangers and Stars, Yex.
Speaker 2: Rangers, Dallas Stars.
Speaker 3: That's what we look forward to, FC Dell. We'll be
Speaker 3: out an opening day on the twenty seventh. Hop to
Speaker 3: see everyone out there. Let's go if I can officially
Speaker 3: say that, but yes, that's probably happening.
Speaker 2: It's happening. The show will go on now. Okay, thank you, Kevin.
Speaker 2: That's a good drop.
Speaker 1: Moving forward to coming up next, the only segment of
Speaker 1: the day that shan't be podcasted. It's the Today Game.
Speaker 1: You've got to hear it live. The weekly weekday update
Speaker 1: coming up after that. The Rangers have a hat that's
Speaker 1: gone viral. All that's coming your way next
