And 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.720 by the way, we had a Cowboys watching party at 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:25.000 the house on Saturday night with my family grandsons in there. 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.839 My three year old grandson James, I introduced him to Stampede. 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:35.000 We were on the back porch and Mickey and I 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.880 played got on the big boom box. I played Cowboys 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.760 Stampede getting ready for the game. Mickey and he was 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:46.440 dancing around. So the new generation of Cowboys fans. Now 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.920 his dad didn't really like the song, but Mickey, what's 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.560 going on? So? Did you play the song every time 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:59.080 they scored a touchdown? I was voted out after the 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.960 pregame stuff. Yeah, I was gonna have to continue watching 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.880 the game on the back patio if I continued and 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.680 playing stampede. But it was cold out, dude, Yeah it was, 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.440 that's right. So so here we are. It's the Monday. 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.840 After a Cowboys fifty one to twenty six win over 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:22.919 the Philadelphia Eagles, the playoffs are all set. The Cowboys 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.679 have the third seed after an unbelievable Sunday in the 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:33.200 league and taken on the Arizona Cardinals. No, the Los 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:39.360 Angeles Rams, who had the San Francisco forty nine Ers 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:44.000 as the Cowboys first round opponent, had that Spags, Can 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:48.959 you say that I was saying I didn't want the 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:53.480 San Francisco forty nine ers, that's what you were saying. Yes, 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.680 I agree with your spags, h I agree with you. 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.480 I think that anytime that we've had bad games this year, 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.800 it is typical of just how the forty nine ers 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.040 attack you, Right, Is that what you're concerned about? Yeah, 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.040 the fact that they run the football and can put 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.959 pressure on the quarterback, and it did the Rams in 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:19.359 big time yesterday in the second half, in the second 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.480 in the second half, yeah, exactly, And so hopefully the 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.880 Cowboys watched the second half and figured out exactly what 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:32.400 they were doing to Stafford. You know, they still had 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:37.480 trouble stopping Cooper Cup, but that was an amazing comeback, 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:42.960 I'll tell you that. So pretty physical on defense. So 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.280 that Cowboys offensive line is going to have its work 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.200 cut out for him. Well, i'll tell you what, I 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.080 think that the d line will as well. You saw 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.440 how they were running the ball on a very good 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.000 Rams front line, but they seem to be more susceptible 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:03.200 to rushing for some reason. And they didn't even the 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.880 forty nine ers did not have the starting running back 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:11.680 I believe, is it Trent Williams? Uh left tackles? Yeah, 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.040 and so yeah, I'm sorry that admit the tackle. Yeah, 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.080 I think he's gonna play this week. He's a good one. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.600 He is a good one. So we we that's gonna 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.120 be a d Law matchup right, well or Randy Gregory 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.119 on the He's Trent Williams at left tackle and Randy 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.240 Gregory off the right side. Okay, so yeah, okay, I 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:34.680 like the way he looked on the sideline. Trent Williams, Yeah, 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:44.200 kept on and uh we okay, So it being the 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.599 forty nine Ers. It's been so long since the Cowboys 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.320 have played the forty nine Ers in the playoffs. I 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:56.160 from a media standpoint, From a fan standpoint, not so 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.880 much the strategy of the game and how the teams 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.640 match up against each other, the intrigue of the matchup. 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.080 I like it from the historical standpoint, and also the 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.600 fact that these teams haven't played each other this year 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:14.240 and so it's new. Yeah, absolutely, you don't have You're 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.640 not playing Philadelphia a third time, which a lot of 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.920 people thought could happen. And you're now, if we had 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.799 a preference, we'd play Philadelphia. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the third 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:28.440 time to actually playing Arizona the second time would not 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.720 be all that bad either. Well, you know the way 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.440 they talked, all the trash spags. You know, the Cowboys 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:39.000 were extremely fired up, you know, with the elation because 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.520 the elation of the Cardinals. I mean, they were like, 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.839 I can't wait to see these guys again. They were 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.680 they were actually calling for the Cardinals again. Do you 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.200 think that was real or well, that's just frustration. Have 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.240 to get in your butt kick? Yeah, I bet it was. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.359 It was frustration. Although they were probably looking at the 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.080 probability and saying, Okay, chances are we're getting them again 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:03.640 and we ain't aired right. Uh. And and maybe Arizona 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:08.440 should have checked themselves, um, getting getting beat like that 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.640 by by Seattle. Um? How about them? How about them? 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.440 They were they were on the verge winning the division, 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:20.640 winning the division, getting a home game and having what 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.240 would have been what the third seed? Um, And they 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.200 would have been hosting San Francisco this week rather than 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.520 having to go and play at the Rams. And then 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:34.200 what did they do give up? Like thirty eight points 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.200 three eight points, one hundred and ninety yards rushing to 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:40.840 Rashad Penny and then and then and also look at 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.880 the Cardinals where they have been the last half of 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.920 the season, with the exception of that win over the 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:50.719 Cowboys a week ago. They are there are four and 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:55.920 six the last ten games. Yeah, So so there you go. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.200 Is it? So? Is it the cow Is it the Cowboys? 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.560 Or do these teams just play their best game against them? 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.000 How many times does this happen? I think they just 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.640 like Jerry's world, man, you know, that's so comfortable coming in, 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.680 the family wants to come in. It's like a family reunion, 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.120 you know. They come in to watch the game, they 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.720 cheer in the stands, they go shopping. You know, it's 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.720 it's like a it's like watching it's like going to 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.240 the chapel or something. Wasn't that the Notre Dame Chapel, 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:22.920 You know what I mean. It's like going there, you 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.760 want to visit, and you know, it's like an It's 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:31.040 like it's like a monument. It's like, I mean, Denver 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.680 comes in here and wins, and then they hadn't done 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.000 squat the rest of the year. In fact, in fact, Mickey, 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.880 the guy who drew up the blueprint to stop this 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:46.120 Cowboys offense was let go by the Denver Broncos yesterday 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.600 and so he's taking his blueprint with him elsewhere. There's 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:54.160 a lot of guys taking them. We got that rights fag, Micky, 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.480 you keeping tabs on what it was Black Sunday for 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.680 Vic Fangio yesterday, but black Monday today. There's been a 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.520 zimmer number of coaches, including Mike Zimmerman. We were surprised 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:09.000 about the Floyds, uh spags in my own yeah, because 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.920 they kind of made a they made a comeback, right, Yeah, 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.200 it didn't. It didn't come back. That not good enough. Yeah, 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.200 probably no surprises in Chicago with Matt Nage, no doubt. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.760 And I'll tell you what my vote for coach of 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.480 the Year is, Rich Besochia. I love that. Yeah, I 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.600 like that. I love that, and um we'll get you see. 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:35.880 Did you see the stat that he's only um, I 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.240 think it was only the third? You know, he's the 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:44.479 fourth interim head coach to get his team in the playoffs, 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:49.800 and the other three were in nineteen sixty one, nineteen 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.640 fifty two, in nineteen forty two. Yep, I heard that. 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.320 I heard that. You had to go all the way back. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.400 The most recent one was nineteen sixty one. Red Grange 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:04.920 was probably plan. And for those of us who have 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.560 been around Rich Pisacio when he was here, why not 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.000 him be a head coach in the in the NFL. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.280 This isn't the way he wanted to get the opportunity, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.200 I know, but he's making the most of that opportunity 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.160 and so great for him. And you know that you 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.920 talk about a special team's coach having to coach up 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.280 the entire team, and he's done it throughout his career. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.320 He's been loved everywhere that he's coached, including here and 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.959 so great that he's making the most of the opportunity 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.720 and the Raiders get into the playoffs. And what a 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:41.719 football game that was last night. I was working. I 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.320 was working, and so I was able to watch and 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.640 then go do a hit on CBS eleven News and 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.360 then come back and watch some more. And converting six 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:55.400 fourth downs the Chargers do justin Herbert, that nineteen play 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.360 drive that wound up with the tying touchdown on the 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.120 last play of regulation, and prior to that, on fourth 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.079 and twenty one, completing the past and going for two 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.440 to make it a seven point game. All that happening 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.440 in the last five minutes of the game. Yeah, but 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.559 we got to talk about whether dumb play that really 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.200 decided the entire game, and it really shouldn't never, never 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.319 have been a factor. You just don't go for a 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:26.199 fourth down on your own. What nineteen yard line that 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:31.760 was the that was the Chargers versus the Raiders. They 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.120 were backed up, I believe they had been inside the 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.760 twenty yard line and they went fourth on fourth down 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.559 and they ended up holding the Raiders to a field 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.240 goal after that, but that ended up being the final 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.600 score was thirty five thirty two. So the field goal 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.360 made the biggest difference. Well, I'll tell you it made 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.640 the biggest difference. In was the dumbest thing. Why in 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.240 the hell did Brandon Staley called time out with thirty 0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:00.600 eight seconds to go in overtime? The Raiders we're gonna 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.640 take a knee and they were both gonna tie and 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.760 go to the playoffs, and I think he pissed them 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.560 off by calling time out. And it was like, okay, 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.640 you want to call time out? Here we go getting 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.720 the first down and now we're gonna kick the field goal. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.160 Because the scenario was they didn't have to do anything, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.080 and we both could have been in yeah, me and 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.120 you bro, me and you Bill, we're gonna get in, brother, Yeah, 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.920 you raid us some charges, man, let's go. Now, I 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.040 gotta call time and I was I was doing a sportscasting, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.400 so I wasn't able to watch that live. So the 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.160 speculation was already there from Chris Collinswood, Okay, well what 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.559 are we gonna do here? The clock is ticking ticket ticket. 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.960 You sound like uh boomer tig tick tick ticket, So 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.720 that's going down. And my son and I were like, 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.320 they don't have to do anything, and we were just 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.040 laughing at Pittsburgh fans. They were Pittsburgh fans. Show that 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:59.800 guy Pittsburgh fans at the game. That was crazy, So 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.800 you know that that could have been in. So he's 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.240 going crazy because the clock's going to winding down. He 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.320 was number ninety on Watch Jersey and he ended up. 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.720 He was going crazily. These guys are gonna just they're 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.960 gonna buddy it. They're gonna budd you to the end. Right, 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.720 That's what he was thinking. You could almost read his lips. 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.880 So it was a great situation for Bosaccia because he's 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:23.240 sitting there going, Okay, we're good if we if we 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.080 take a knee, or we're good if we can The 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.000 only thing where it could backfire on us if they 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.040 blocked the field goal and returning for a touchdown. That's it. 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.240 So why try field goal? Field goal? He wasn't even 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:37.000 thinking about that. Then you call time out? Really, you 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.280 know what, he made two of the most bonehead moves 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.080 that I've ever seen in the playoffs the fourth end 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.560 that time out. I saw what Posacchi had to say afterwards, 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.000 and you know he didn't say, Okay, we were gonna 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.160 just let it run out. And when we get the tie. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.320 He basically said, we had the conversation. And so I'm 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.320 thinking if they had the conversation that was that was 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.520 on the top of their mind, that that's what they 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.080 were gonna do, not chance screwing something up with a 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.800 block field goal or a bad snap or anything like that. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.480 We'll just take the time we go to the go 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.280 to the But then they called time out, and I'm 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.000 sure Tomlin, if you if you're Tomlin, you're Mike Tomlin, 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.520 you're sitting there. I'm sure he was going crazy himself. 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.679 You're sitting there, You're like, you know what, this is 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.320 not purposeful. You know it's not There's not nothing I 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.959 should take personally, because yeah, as the as the Raiders, 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.960 you don't want a chance, Hey, blocked field goal. Well, 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.880 here's the other part of it. They put put yourself 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.440 in the mind of Rich Masachi and the Raiders right there, 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.400 my understanding, And they didn't do a very good job 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:45.640 on television explaining the scenario. Okay, once we got down 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.280 to that overtime situation, I wanted to know, if the 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.800 Chargers win this game, who are they playing next week? 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.120 If they tie this game, who are they playing next week? 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.920 And vice versa for the for the Raiders, if they win, 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.480 who are they play graphics? But they didn't. They needed 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:06.480 to a very confusing graphical exactly. And so and I 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:08.560 think I wrote it down right. I had to run 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.240 it back. I just have to get the graphics, and 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.600 I think I wrote it down right. So the choice 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.160 then that Besachia and the Raiders had to make there. 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.760 If they kick the field goal, they play Cincinnati. If 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.400 they take a knee, they're playing at Kansas City. And 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.400 so that, in my mind is insane. I understand Cincinnati 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.360 beat Kansas City last week, but in a playoff game, 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.200 I will take my chances going to play Cincinnati rather 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.240 than playing Kansas City. And if you're gonna give me 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.680 a chance to kick a field goal to win me 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.800 a trip to Cincinnati rather than Kansas City, then I'll 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.560 go ahead and kick that field goal. I wonder if 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.440 they thought about that. Oh, I'm sure they had to. Yeah, 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.280 I'm sure they did. It's it's just a mat of 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:53.320 picking your poison. But then the decision was made for them, 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.000 so let's just go with that. So now they are 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.680 they're going to Cincinnati, correct, that's right? They Yeah, the 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.120 three thirty game on Saturday. All right, it's time to 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.240 take a break. Mickey, do you are we gonna be able? No, 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.960 you're on the phone. You can't do reads this week?

We will have you do a 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:18.360 read via the telephone. And I think I buried the 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.200 lead on this show.

All right, there's an echo in here. 0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:01.320 They're a double there. That's right inside the SWBSBC podcast studio. 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.359 A Monday edition of mix Shots, and I did bury 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.320 the lead off the top of course the Cowboys taken 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:13.360 on the San Francisco forty nine ers three thirty Sunday 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:17.640 afternoon on CBS eleven with Tony Romo and Jim Nance 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.120 on the call. Assuming Nance is out of COVID protocol, 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:24.240 he missed yesterday's game in Tampa, And but where I 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.320 buried the lead? Mickey, you know what today is, don't you? 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:33.960 I did we talk about the Cowboys versus the forty 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:38.960 nine ers. This today, what is this? January tenth, two 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:45.080 thousand and twenty two is the forty year anniversary of 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:49.080 one of the great games in National Football League history, 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.280 when Everson Walls picked off two passes and recovered a 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.960 fumble in a game. Enough, wasn't it enough? I gave 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.920 him three chances, Bill, I gave you ball three times. 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:02.640 I think we had I think overall in that game 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:07.280 we had five turnovers, five alt I got a call. 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:09.800 That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's enough to win 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.639 a game. That's enough to win any game. You got 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.400 five turn thoughs. Well, let's see here. I've got two 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:21.359 picks by Everson Walls, an interception by Randy Wandy White, 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.119 they try to screen pass. There's there's three takeaways, a 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:29.680 fumble recovery by Everson Walls. There's four, Larry Bethea with 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:34.560 a fumble recovery, Mike Hegman a fumble recovery. There's six, six, 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.680 and then two offensive players, James Jones and Danny White 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:42.200 with bumble recoveries. No, that's good. At least they contributed. 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.160 It's nice that the offense came to the game. So Mickey, 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.000 Mickey World, How in the world. Do you lose a 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:51.040 game when you get six takeaways? I have no idea, 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.080 but I don't know about you, Mickey, but that is 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.440 what I remember from forty years ago. Today, that is 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.520 what I choose to remember forty years ago. Remember Everson 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.119 Walls with two interceptions in a fumble record. I have 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.399 a feeling that that was more to it because for 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.080 some reason I am sitting here, your phone is blowing 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.520 up today. Huh well, no, not as much as uh 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.320 you know, you just gotta wonder, Like as you talk 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.520 about the six turn, though, I'm getting more pissed off 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:22.840 here Bill six It was six, dude, and no one 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.760 talks about that. Oh my goodness, my goodness. So that's 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.520 one ring away the Hall of Fame. You think that 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:32.280 has something to do with it. No, here's what we're 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.560 gonna do. We're gonna set the record straight. Okay, and yeah, 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:39.680 people talk about that play, that catch whatever forty years ago. 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:44.080 But what's happening this season is Everson Walls is getting 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.960 back on the man line, bro And thanks to Trayvon 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.080 Digs And by the way, I know, Everson was was 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.680 rootings more than anybody for Trayvon to get his twelfth pick. 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.280 Of course, didn't have the opportunity because he wasn't able 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.520 to play. What happened. I never didn't know what happened. 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:00.919 I was in Saturday Night, Mickey, you want to fill 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:04.479 us in on um guys who didn't play on Saturday Night? 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:09.760 Oh boy, I'm looking right now. And it was a 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:15.119 long list. So j Jay Ryan Curse was going to 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.719 miss with a hamstring, but he then had COVID. Uh, 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:21.879 Darian Thompson on the practice squad probably would have been 0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:25.920 called up, but he had COVID. Then out, Tyrn Smith, 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:30.720 Michael Parsons, and Anthony Brown all out with COVID. Trayvon 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:35.800 Diggs technically was with an illness the same as Donovan 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:39.920 Wilson had, and Donovan Wilson was able to play, and 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:44.879 Tony Pollard was out with a foot, so uh. The 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.240 Cowboys actually activated Blake Jarwin by the way off of 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:54.640 ir Yees, so he was able to he was able 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:58.680 to play. So yeah, the Cowboys had quite a few 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:02.280 players out. Also. I know it wasn't to the extent 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:06.720 that Philadelphia had, since they decided to sit their entire 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:11.280 defense and the majority of their offense. But you know, 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:14.320 when you're not. You have both of your starting corners out, 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:20.560 your best defensive player, Michael Parsons out. It certainly makes 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.120 somewhat of a difference, but a lot of guys got 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.240 to play, and maybe it turns out that that's a 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:29.119 good thing. Well, I wanted to ask you this. Have 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:33.680 you heard any I wouldn't say apologies, but a little 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:35.920 could you hear people eating a little bit of crow? 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.600 In regards to the Cowboys taking all these efforts to 0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:42.040 win this game, you know, they played this game as 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:43.840 if they had to win it because they knew that 0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.920 there was a chance that they can improve their position. 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.880 And it seems like that all played out well because 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:54.040 they did go from four to three. And so, what 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:56.320 you think, and I know what the answer is going 0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:58.600 to be, don't you think that that effort was worth 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:04.400 it considering the outcome from yesterday? Well, you know, ever 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.520 since obviously the percentages were against him to get the 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:11.159 second seed, but they came within one game out of 0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:14.600 the three of getting there. Yeah, you know at Tampa Bay, 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:18.720 not one. The Cowboys would have been the second seed 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.040 because they got the other two things to happen. The 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:25.480 Rams got beat and Arizona got beat and they won, 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:30.560 by the way, So you know what the the irony 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:34.880 of this whole thing is, we played seventeen games. If 0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:39.480 the Cowboys had been better in the final one twenty 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.760 four of the first game, they would have been the 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:47.480 second seed. It right, because they got beat by Tampa 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:51.560 Bay on a walk off field goal. And who knows 0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:56.800 now this one I understand, right, because Tampa Bay and 0:23:56.920 --> 0:23:59.880 the Packers ended up tying, but the cap the Packers 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:02.840 just took the foot off the gas the second half 0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:06.760 and they got beat by Detroit. Right, Well, if that 0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:09.360 had happened and all this had happened, and the Cowboys 0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:11.879 had won that opener, there's the first seat in the 0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:14.600 NF seat. Yeah, but Aaron Rodgers would have played the 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:17.680 entire game. I know that that's the difference. But but 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:22.680 but even with that, the complaints were, why are we 0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:26.160 playing DAK and everybody's talking about he could get hurried him, Like, guys, 0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:29.040 it's football, they always talk about somebody could get hurt. Yeah, 0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:33.360 it's freaking football. So we played Dak. Everyone was kind 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:36.240
