Welcome in, good morning on this Black Friday, 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. Rob Parker, 4 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: Jason McIntyre filling in for Dan and the Dan Nettes, 5 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: and we got a great show. We got so much 6 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: to do, so much to talk about. I know, football, 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: and everybody's stomach is filled and you know from the 8 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: all the festivities, So we will tackle a lot of 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: that stuff, including like the Cowboys, that mess that they are. 10 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it was just a couple of weeks ago 11 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: people were crowning them, telling them that they were one 12 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: of the best teams in the NFL. I think not. Also, 13 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: Buffalo did what it's supposed to do. I don't know. 14 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo is a weird kind of football team where they are, 15 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: but they roll last night over the depleted Saints. And 16 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: then we have the Lions who are now old ten 17 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: and one and headed to maybe being winless again in 18 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: their franchise history. But all that and much more on 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: this program. Jason McIntyre and I Rob Parker filling in 20 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: for Dan Patrick. And let's let's start with the Dallas Cowboys. 21 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: And I'm not totally surprised about where the Cowboys are 22 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: because I think a couple of weeks ago when they 23 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: blew out Atlanta and people were ranting and raving about 24 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: how great they are, look at the numbers that is 25 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: the MVP and all that. Jason, I thought all that 26 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: was hyperbole and over the top because they blew out 27 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: the terrible Atlanta Falcons, And the last couple of weeks 28 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: has told me more about the Cowboys than I think 29 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: the blowout of Atlanta, because I really believe that the 30 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: Cowboys are fraudulent and not one of the best teams 31 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: in the NFC. Yeah, Rob is great to be here. 32 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: Early Black Friday had a great Thanksgiving except for the referees. 33 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: Can I say one thing about Black a minute? Wait 34 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: a minute, let me say one thing about to go 35 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: in on the referees to start Black Fridays exciting. I 36 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: know people are waiting in line listening to this, waiting 37 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: for our hot takes coming in, And I gotta say 38 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys they had a tough one yesterday and they 39 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: got a raw deal from the referees. I don't understand, Rob, 40 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: how on a Thanksgiving Day when everybody's pigging out and 41 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: thirty million people are watching Dallas Vegas. We came out 42 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: to see a ref show. Are you kidding me? This 43 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: was the most penalized game in the last eighteen years 44 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL, where both teams had over fourteen penalties 45 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: and over one hundred yards. And you cannot trut out 46 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: that product on Thanksgiving Day in a massive game, a 47 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: huge swing game. The Raiders who are a dumpster fire, Rob, 48 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: we know that, literally a dumpster fire with all that's 49 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: happening there. They are cratering and the refs basically save 50 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: them because they throw a flag on every play. Rob. Listen, 51 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: I'm out here a Black Friday. I'm very thankful for 52 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, my family, being able to have 53 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: a podcast here on iHeart and doing stuff for FS 54 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: one and hosting a show today with you and Rob Parker. 55 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm just coming in very disappointed with the NFL product yesterday, 56 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: highlighted by the referees, the zebras as you like to 57 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: call them, in that Dallas a Vegas game, and that 58 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: was awful. Yeah, I get all that, but I'm not 59 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: gonna let that. It would be one thing if it 60 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: was one sided. It it was called that way. If 61 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: you want to call it tight on both ends or 62 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: it was a flag day. I get all that, but 63 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: it was not just against the Cowboys. It was equally 64 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: divvied out. And it just talks a lot about where 65 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: the cow the Cowboys are supposed to win that game. Jason, 66 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: Yes or no, they were huge favorites. But Rob on 67 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: third and eighteen in overtime, can you confidently tell me 68 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: what is passing interference? Just take a deep breath, because 69 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. According to the rule book, 70 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, who had a nightmare day, four flags against him, 71 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: that third and eighteen penalty that set him up for 72 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: the game winning field goal, that was not pass interference 73 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: by the book. All the referee guys who go on 74 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: TV and know the rule books throw and through that 75 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: was not pass interference. And I don't know why the 76 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: refs were so insistent to throw a flag. McCarthy couldn't 77 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: challenge it because you're never gonna win that. But that 78 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 1: ruined the game. That tarnished the game for the entire country, 79 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: thirty million people who were watching that. I don't know 80 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: about that. There are a lot of Raider fans who 81 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: are pretty happy that their team that was dead in 82 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: the water went to Dallas and a must win for 83 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and came away with an overtime win. So 84 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: I don't think most everybody in America was feeling bad 85 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys lost that football game. And it's just 86 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: a pattern. I mean, look at who they've really beaten 87 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: this year. The idea of the notion that all these 88 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: NFL writers and talking heads really thought that Cowboys would 89 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: have best team in the NFC or NFL. That's not 90 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: two weeks ago. They're not. Look at who they won 91 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: and look who they've lost. If their number one receiver 92 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: A Marii Cooper excuse, their number two receivers CD lamb excuses, 93 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: and their top running back, how they score thirty three points, 94 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: how they get how the Raiders can't stop a nosebleed. Okay, 95 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: then they still could have won that game. One hundred percent, 96 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: Yes they should. They could have won that game. They 97 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: should have won that game. Um, I will say, Rob, 98 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm in a survivor pool. I don't know if you 99 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: do these things where you have to pick one team 100 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: every week. And a lot of people had the Cowboys yesterday, 101 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: so I was happy I had the Bills. Rob. There 102 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: was twenty four hundred and sixty eight people in the contest. 103 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm one of forty six left. The payout is eighty 104 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: two thousand dollars. So let's just say I'm kind of 105 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: happy the Cowboys lost from the gambling perspective, But if 106 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm McCarthy, I'm living at the refs, and yeah, I'm 107 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: pretty ticked off at my defense unable to stop a 108 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: pretty bad Raiders team which has been cratering since the 109 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: since that de Sean Jackson. I'm sorry not to Shan Jackson, 110 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: the Henry Ruggs car accident. I mean, this team has 111 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: just been totally downhill. It's just too much to overcome. 112 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: If you're the Raiders, I don't think they make the playoffs. 113 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: To you, I'm just not sure. It's it's so wide 114 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: open and the swings on some of these games. And 115 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: Buffalo looked dead a few weeks ago, and they looked terrible. 116 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: They lost to Jacksonville, didn't even score a touchdown in 117 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: the game, and then of course they put up thirty 118 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: one last night. It's it's all over the place in 119 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: the NFL. So I'm not really sure, but but I do, 120 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, like you brought up the excuses of missing 121 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: people or injuries. That's called the NFL ask Aaron Rodgers 122 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: and the Packers who went on the road to Arizona, 123 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: the seven and oh eras Zona Cardinals without their top 124 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: three receivers, without their defensive coordinator who had COVID right, 125 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: they had all kinds of people missing, and guess what 126 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: they did. They won a football game. Because the league 127 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks do that where they where they'll cover up. And 128 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: you got guys missing, the next guy has to come up. 129 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: And the Cowboys had every opportunity, had a chance even 130 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: in that game at the end, to march down and 131 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: win the game. That could have done that. Instead they 132 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: settled for field goal to tie it. Couldn't they have 133 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: won the game on that dry Yeah, I mean it's tough, 134 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: and you're throwing two guys who normally aren't even options. 135 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: They're on the team, they're not working at seven to eleven. 136 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: Are they working at seven eleven or are they on 137 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: the team. You could say that about the Green Bay 138 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: Packers last week. They went into Minnesota with their with 139 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: their four best defensive players hurt, and they got their 140 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: teeth kicked in. The Vikings had four hundred yards of 141 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: offense six point two yards per play and they beat 142 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: the Packers. So like this happens to everybody. Everybody gets 143 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: hurt throughout the season. We've seen Buffalo offensive line hurt, 144 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: go into Jacksonville and Josh Dallas law to Denver at home? 145 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: Did they Nallas lost to Denver at home. Tyron Smith 146 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: did not play offensive lineman, no no show, and the 147 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: Denver defensive line killed him. Like this happens to every 148 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: single team in the league. Every team gets a raw 149 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: deal from the refs. Every team has injuries. I mean 150 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, they were the number one seed in the AFC. 151 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: They lose Derrick Henry Julio Jones on the ir and 152 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: then they lose to the Texans. So like this is 153 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: just part of which a war of attrition in the NFL, 154 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: And whoever's going to be the hottest team going into 155 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs is going to be the best team that 156 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: ultimately wins the Super Bowl. Right, I think we could 157 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: agree on that. I mean, I get part of that, 158 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: but I just don't think that that's good enough. Excuse 159 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: all the time is that this was a game. Even 160 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: when they put out the gambling line, they knew that 161 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were gonna be without people, and they still 162 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: made them seven and a half point favorites because they 163 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: still believed at home against a dumpster fire called the 164 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: Raiders who had lost three in a row and look 165 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: bad doing it, that they still should have had enough 166 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: when you have some of the other pieces that you 167 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: have on that team to win a game at home. 168 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: You don't have to win by forty to feel good 169 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: about it. But they should have been able to beat 170 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: the Raiders, and they weren't. And that's really my point 171 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: is that there comes a time where some teams have 172 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: to be able to just be like, we're going to 173 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: work our way through it and still win. And you 174 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: brought up the Packers, but you can't tell me going 175 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: into that game, and the Packers want the underdogs in 176 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: Arizona without their people. They weren't a seven and a 177 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: half point favorite on the road against Arizona without their 178 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: top three receivers. It's a totally different makeup. I think 179 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: if you're going strictly by the line, then I think 180 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: that the Buffalo loss against Jacksonville was bigger than the 181 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: Dallas loss. There was. The Cincinnati Bengals were ten point 182 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: favorites and they lost outright to my New York Football Jets. 183 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: How about that loss? Where were the injuries in that 184 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: one for the Bengals? Like this just happens, Rob, You 185 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: can't overreact to a week twelve loss. Just like everybody 186 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: wants to crown people the MVP after seven weeks or 187 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: ten weeks. I heard that nobody wins the MVP in 188 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: week nine in the NFL. Uh, nobody wins it in 189 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: week eleven or twelve, Like this is just a loss. 190 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: I think the bigger story is the referees. We need 191 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: to know and understand what the hell pass interference is 192 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: because Dallas got screwed on that, Rob. That's undeniable. I 193 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: get it. They lost the game. They were missing two receivers, 194 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: but the NFL cannot have twenty Cowboys have lost three 195 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: of their last four games, Jason, And you're talking about referees. 196 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: Stop it. The only game they've won was they beat Atlanta. 197 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: Stop with the referees, because that's just that's a that's 198 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: a lame excuse to sit here and say that's the 199 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: reason why the Cowboys. Say that that why the Cowboys 200 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: have lost three of four. No, no, no, I we're 201 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: talking about two different things. There was the Cowboys lost. 202 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: They were they were not good yesterday they were there 203 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: was six and one and everybody was talking about that 204 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: their world beaters, and they've lost three of four since 205 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: being sexisted. That happens to every team in the league. 206 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: The kids were under five hundred, rob the Chiefs were 207 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: under five hundred, and now they're headed to be the 208 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: number one seed in the AFC, Like, what are we? 209 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills lost two of three. They looked awful. 210 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: They got their teeth kicked in at home by Indie. 211 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: That they were they were in a struggle to maybe 212 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: make the playoffs given the upcoming schedule. They're okay, I mean, like, 213 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: take a deep breath. The Cowboys will be fine. The 214 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: bigger story is this was the most penalties in an 215 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: NFL game in five years, and it had the largest 216 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: NFL TV audience of the season. The NFL needs to 217 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: fix that crap. If you notice rob no taunting penalties yesterday, 218 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: the NFL listens, they got rabbit ears. Okay, taunting was 219 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: one of the big stories. We're getting sick and tired 220 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: of this taunting garbage. NFL says, oh, we got to 221 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: tighten that up. Next thing they got to do clean 222 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: up the pass interference crap. I don't like when my 223 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: product I'm watching at thirty million people at home watching 224 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: and they're like flags, most NFL penalties in a game 225 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: in five years. They've got to fix this, Rob. I don't. 226 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. I don't want to watch 227 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,599 Speaker 1: Tampa Indie a really good game Sunday or Rams Packers Sunday, 228 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: and I want to see twenty twenty five penalty flags 229 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: throne that ruins the product. The NFL is better than that, 230 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: and we don't need this ref show laundry garbage all 231 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: over the field. Yeah, I just to sit around and 232 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: talk about referees is boring to me. And I just 233 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: think it's not like it's been done every day. You 234 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: just said it in five years. So this is an aberration. 235 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: This isn't normal. It isn't what normally happens. But maybe 236 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: you have two poorly coached teams. Because usually penalties are 237 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: a reflection of the coach. And so I mean, you 238 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: can see there today and put it all on the referees, 239 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: and some of those calls will legit. We know that 240 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: there's some that are questionable because of their judgment calls. 241 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: But when you have human beings making calls and their 242 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: judgment calls, you're going to have some that are bad. 243 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: Do we want to see penalties and see flags throne? 244 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: Of course not. But I'm not going to sit here 245 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: and use that as the only reason. It wasn't like 246 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: Dallas laws forty to nothing, because every time they had 247 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: a big play it was because of the referees. They 248 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: lost thirty six, thirty three, and they should have beaten 249 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders. That's That's what I'm looking at. And in 250 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: the situation where they were at, where where things were 251 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: coming undone, and now they've lost three or four, that's 252 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: the story to me. Why can't they win at home 253 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: against the team going nowhere? They could have buried the Raiders. 254 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: Team going nowhere could have buried the Raiders. They were 255 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: lost three in a row. The Raiders are in the 256 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: playoff mis going nowhere? What do you mean they lost 257 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: three in a row? Is what I'm talking about. It 258 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: never Dallas playoffs. Dude, you're gonna say five and five 259 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: three in a row is playoff. You just said the 260 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: NF just numbers wise. But I'm talking about where they 261 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: were and why the Cowboys should have won that game. 262 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: You don't believe that going in they should have won 263 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: that game. Rob, takeaway Tyreek Hill uh and Travis Kelsey. 264 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: The other Chief's winning a game. I don't know because 265 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: the Packers didn't have their three times and they went 266 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: on the road and they want yes with Aaron Rodgers, 267 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: a historically great quarterback, arguably the second best terback in 268 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: the history of the sport. Dak Prescott good quarterback, He's 269 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: not an Aaron Rodgers class. Okay, let's be realistic here. 270 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: The Cowboys lost again and they should have won. Period. 271 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: They were down their top two receivers. You go throughout 272 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: the league and you take away the top two receivers 273 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: from almost any team, almost any team. Brady could probably 274 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: overcome it because he's historically great. He's the goat. Aaron 275 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: Rodgers can probably overcome it because he's right up there 276 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: with the goat. Is Russell Wilson overcoming that without Metcalfine Lockett? 277 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: Who else do you want? I mean, no, no quarterback 278 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: over I don't even think Mahomes could do that Without 279 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: Hill and Kelsey. That would be a tall order. Rob, 280 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: very difficult for Dallas. Now, I think you got a 281 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: reboot and move on, and Dallas has to handle its 282 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: business in the NFC, least against the likes of Washington, 283 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: who would has to play twice. I think it has 284 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: the Giants one more time, the Eagles, they got Arizona. 285 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: The roads a little bit tougher because of that loss. 286 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: But frauds, you don't think that's a little bit harsh. 287 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: I'm just not buying it, because what they do is 288 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: they beat up on the also rands. If you look 289 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: at their schedule, and one the one game that they did, 290 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: they beat New England before New England turned into what 291 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: they are now off the off the board, and I 292 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: think they had two missfield goals and they only lost 293 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: by three to the Cowboys in that game. I'm just 294 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: not that impressed with some of the wins that they've 295 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: had over the Giants and the Eagles and Carolina. I'm 296 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: not I'm just saying there are some games here we 297 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: are after they were six and one, and if you 298 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: looked on the schedule and thought to yourself, Denver's coming 299 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: up in Dallas, then they got Atlanta in Dallas. Then 300 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: they own the road to Kansas City that which have 301 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: been struggling and not that great, and the Raiders struggling 302 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: at Dallas. I would think the Cowboys would have won 303 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: three out of four, not lost three out of four, 304 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: giving that schedule. Even if you say to yourself, they'll 305 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: lose at Kansas City, Okay, So then there would be 306 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: three out of four and instead of now looking at 307 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: a seven and four record, right, there would be nine 308 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: and two, and then then we would be talking about 309 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and where they are. This is a franchise 310 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: that hasn't won and haven't been on an NFC Championship 311 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: game since Moby Dick was a guppy. It's been twenty 312 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: five years. Dude, are you kidding? It's like your Detroit 313 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: Lions are about as bad as them historically. Yeah, listen, 314 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: what do the numbers say. Let's take a look. Dallas 315 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: fourth most efficient offense in the league against also rands. 316 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: Go ahead, keep talking against You can only play your schedule, 317 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: can you not? Yeah, but you don't lose three out 318 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: of four to the teams that they've lost too. They 319 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: brought up gambling a lot against the Raiders. They covered 320 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: in the season opener against the defending champ Tampa Bay 321 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: on the road. Right, they covered that. That's a nice 322 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: that's a nice cover. It's a loss, but it's a 323 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: nice cover. They won at New England, which is now 324 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: proven to be a really really ship. Weren't they weren't 325 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: there at that at that point that overtime when they 326 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: almost lost that they got a big play at the 327 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: end and they did win that game. But had they 328 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: lost that game, New England hadn't won four in a 329 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: row at that point they hadn't You want to discount 330 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: win over New England five? No, I'm not just counting it. 331 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: But they were? Were they that good then? That good? 332 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: Then main was ascending? I'll have to look at their 333 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: record at that point. What about Minnesota? What about to 334 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: win over Minnesota? Was that good with Cooper Rush on 335 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: the road or is Minnesota stink? No, if you can 336 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: win that game, I'll give you that. Minnesota is not 337 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: a world beater. Theay like five and five and five 338 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: or six and four to not that great. Yeah, they 339 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: have struggled against the teams in the AFC West. They 340 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: lost to Denver, not a lot of familiarity, bad loss 341 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: with no Tyron Smith. They lost to Kansas City. That's 342 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: never a bad loss. At Arrowhead Kansas City is a 343 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: very good team. Dallas's offense lost Cdee Lamb did not 344 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: have a Mari Cooper. You want to blame anybody, Why 345 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: don't you blame a Mariy Cooper for not being vaccinated? 346 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: He had to miss two games because not he was 347 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: not vaccinated. Rod, It's a big loss, stupidity. You know, 348 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: you want to blame anybody. Maybe a Mari Cooper deserves 349 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: some blame outside of the referees. All right, I'm we'll 350 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: move on. I'm just I'm just not feeling like, uh 351 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys. I think that they've missed a golden 352 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: opportunity last night. I would agree with that. All right. 353 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: It is the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. 354 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: Rob Parker and Jason McIntyre filling in for Dan and 355 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: the Dan Netts right here on Fox Sports Radio.

I 362 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: don't know if people line up Jason anymore like they 363 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: used to write at four am to get in for 364 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: the doorbusters. Is that stuffs still going on? No, no, man, 365 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: it's one of those deals. Rob. I almost shop exclusively online. 366 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: I can buy my suits online because they either measured 367 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: be at FS one, so I know my measurements. I 368 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: still like to get out and see stuff. I buy 369 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: stuff online too, but sometimes doesn't look as good when 370 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: I get it well. I mean, the only issue with that, Rob, 371 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: is you know, being out here in LA you got 372 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: to wear a mask everywhere. It's a bit of an ordeal. 373 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: You go somewhere, they might not have your size, they 374 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: might not have exactly what you want. Then you end 375 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: up wasting time. And I don't know about you, man, 376 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: I'm getting older and Rob, it's becoming increasingly clear to 377 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: me that time is our most valuable resource. And I'm sorry, 378 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: but I can't waste an hour or ninety minutes shopping 379 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: or going to multiple stores. I got the family, I 380 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: got stuff I want to do, I got my life. 381 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: I gotta live like I just I don't want to 382 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: be wasting time and stores. I know that sounds very 383 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: probably lame of me. But Rob, if I can save 384 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: ninety minutes with a couple of clicks online, I'm gonna 385 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: do it, and just I can buy it. It's so 386 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: much easier. I get it for certain things I do. 387 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: I you know, like I get that part. But I 388 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: still like to get out. I'm a people's person. I 389 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: do like to get out a little bit. I know 390 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: it's a little different now with where we are with 391 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: COVID and whatnot, but still I do want to go 392 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: into stores. I don't want to see what they have. 393 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: I want to see if I could find a bargain 394 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,719 Speaker 1: or find a deal. But yeah, people out shopping on 395 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: this Black Friday. And let's talk about more of NFL 396 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: football from Thanksgiving and the Detroit Lions Chicago Bears. It 397 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: wound up being I mean as far as sixteen to fourteen. 398 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: The Bears pull it out. They had like a nineteen 399 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: minute drive in the fourth quarters. That what it was, Jason. 400 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: It was eight and a half minutes to close out 401 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: the game, which is unbelievable. Seriously, to have the ball 402 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: that long and then to finally get the field goal. 403 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: Of course they didn't cover, but they did win the game. 404 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: It would have been nice for a touchdown there, but 405 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: when you get that close, at that point, you're just 406 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: settling for a field goal, and it was a chip shot. 407 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: But you have an issue with Dan Campbell because the 408 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: Lions are oh ten in one now. And I actually 409 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: covered the Lions, as you know, I worked in Detroit 410 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: for twenty years and I was a columnist for the 411 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: Detroit News when they went in sixteen, and I remember 412 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,479 Speaker 1: when they were about oh and nine or ten. Oh. 413 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: I thought, yes, they're going to be winless, and I'm 414 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: starting to feel that way again here. But where what's 415 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: your issue with Dan Campbell, the Lions head coach. Yeah, well, 416 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: so Campbell came in and you know he had that stupid, idiotic, 417 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: embarrassing kneecaps comment that was dumb season open, or maybe 418 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: not season opening, but when he got hired, he had 419 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: that as his press conference. That was a sound bite, 420 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, that was I'm gonna win the press conference. 421 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: And they fought hard in a bunch of games this season, right, 422 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: They almost beat the Ravens. They kind of got jobbed 423 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: on that one. They had a good showing against the Steelers, 424 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,959 Speaker 1: nearly beat the Vikings. So so he built up some 425 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: equity by his team, which is decimated by injuries, offensive line, defense, 426 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: everywhere they're they're playing hard, and then you come out 427 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 1: and again this playing on Thanksgiving is is kind of 428 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: a gift, right you get this national TV audience, you 429 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: gotta show it, you gotta bring it. Rob, this has 430 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: to be one of your better performances of the year. 431 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: This island game, that's all anybody he's watching, and that 432 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: fourth quarter was just an embarrassment left and right for 433 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. I mean, if you guys don't know how 434 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: to use time outs, he can't manage a clock to 435 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: save his life. Rob, I felt bad for the guy. 436 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: You're just watching this, like, what is this operation? Is 437 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: this a Mickey Mouse job here? What are they doing? Due? 438 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: Does this team practice? And I just want listen. I don't. 439 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm not that guy who wants to fire coaches after 440 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: one year. I know everybody says it worked in Arizona 441 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: that they had what's his face the defensive coordinator, they 442 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,239 Speaker 1: made him the head coach, it fired him after one year. 443 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: They brought in Kingsbury and look now it works. But Rob, 444 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: once you do that, you get on that cycle of 445 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,959 Speaker 1: where the next Cleveland Browns where you're just shuttling in 446 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: and out coaches every year, you're shuttling out quarterbacks. And 447 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: I don't believe in that, but I'm telling you right now, Rob, 448 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: it looks like, based on the schedule, they're not going 449 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: to win a game this year, and sixteen and one 450 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: is gonna be a obviously a really ugly mark for 451 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell in his first year. If you can find 452 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: a win the rest of the schedule, I mean, they're 453 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: not beating green Bay at home, even if green Bay sits. 454 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: It's guys, I don't think that's a win. I don't 455 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: think that that's automatic. Either. They're not beating that's week seventeen, 456 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: by the way, or eighteen, whatever you want to call it, 457 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: the last gape. They're not beating Minnesota at home, even 458 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 1: though they showed well in the earlier meeting. Like I just, 459 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: I can't find a win, and I gotta wonder if 460 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell is his job is going to be in jeopardy. 461 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: I don't love doing that, but if you can reboot 462 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: Rob with the number one pick and a new head coach, 463 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: I think it kind of have to consider it. If 464 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 1: you're Detroit, yeah, I don't think it's out of there. 465 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: I don't think that the Lions will do it. It's 466 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: not their m oh but I'm with you. I thought 467 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: the comments and some people loved it when he was 468 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: doing you know, the biting of the knee caps, and thought, 469 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: oh this guy, And then even you talk about they 470 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: play for him. I guess if you want to hold 471 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: onto that, most NFL games are decided by six points 472 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: or less, so close games don't really signify anything. When 473 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: I was in Detroit, Jason and Matt Millen was there, 474 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: and Steve Mariucci and Rod Marinelli and all those other 475 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: coaches were just horrendous. There were a lot of close 476 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: losses too. You lose like that in the NFL. The 477 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: Lions during the during the Matt Millen era when he 478 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: was GM had two Jason, you ready, two twenty four 479 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: game losing streaks on the road. Can you believe that two? 480 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: That's not that's not That's not possible in the NFL. 481 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: So I'm bothered by where you know, uh, you know 482 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: just where the Lions are, but uh, all right now 483 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: here on the Dan Patrick Show, Let's welcome in Leo Haggarty. 484 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: He's a former NFL scout, a Buccaneers, a beat writer 485 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: and a college football writer as well.

I mean, real quick, I want to 490 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: ask you about the Lions as we start this interview 491 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: and just you watching yesterday, Jason had a big problem 492 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: with Dan Campbell to coach and the way he handled it. 493 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: But the Lions lose again. What do you make of 494 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: what's happened in Detroit? You know what, guys? First of all, 495 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna agree with Jason if the NFL has 496 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: to clean up something, but the thing they got to 497 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: Thursday football is horrific. It's terrible. And the Lions what 498 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: they got to clean up? How do you end up 499 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: getting ten penalties at home? That is just absurd. And 500 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm sitting watching the Lions and twice they're inside the 501 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: thirty and they get holding, holding, a start, a start. 502 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: You can see why they had won a football game. No, 503 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: it is bad, and there's a lot of stuff going 504 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: on there. But I just wonder if the Lions I mean, 505 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: this is a franchise that has won one playoff game 506 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: since nineteen fifty seven, Leo, So it's not not by accident, Leo. 507 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: Let me jump in here real quick, Jason McIntyre here, 508 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: I don't know Leo to quickly go to that Dallas 509 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys game. I don't want to be bang on the 510 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: referees guy. But as you noted, it's Thursday, football short week. 511 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: You got thirty million people watching while they're eating their 512 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner and we're given a ref show flags left 513 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: and right. I don't know what pass interference is now. 514 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are questioning that final 515 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown penalty. I'm just curious at what you thought 516 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: of the product of Dallas and Vegas. From a viewing standpoint, 517 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: it was exciting only because of the score. Guys. It 518 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: was close, so it was not like Buffalo and the 519 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 1: switch was a blower right away. It was close. But again, 520 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: no one likes to see the hankies on the field. 521 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: They want to see the players play. And Jason, I 522 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: gotta agree with you. I don't think anybody knows the 523 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: past interferences. Now they it's like holding. You can call 524 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: it every play figure it out. It's hard, and they 525 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: got to be selective about when they do it. And 526 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, go back to the destroyed game. All of 527 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: a sudden, there's a sixty yard penalty into the end 528 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: zone and that changes the whole complexion of the football game. Yeah. 529 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: But also, Leo, I mean, you're the Cowboys. Uh there 530 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: were six and one. They've lost three or four. Now 531 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: that's a game. Still. They gotta beat the Raiders at home, right, 532 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't like the referees were one sided. 533 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: They were calling them on both sides. Shouldn't the Cowboys 534 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: have won that game? Oh? Absolutely? You got You gotta 535 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: win your games. You've got to, especially when you know 536 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna be the Thanksgiving game. This wasn't a surprise. 537 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: Dallas has the Thanksgiving Game. Their players know it, their 538 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: coaches know it. They should have prepared for it. I 539 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: think what people forgot to remember is Rich Bisaccia coaching 540 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,239 Speaker 1: in Dallas, so he had a pretty good idea of 541 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: what he was facing down there. And again the team 542 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: with Dallas, you gotta take Zeke out of the game, 543 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: and they pretty much did. I am curiously you you 544 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: mentioned home all three home teams yesterday lost their NFL games, 545 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: and we've seen home field advantage kind of declined during 546 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: the pandemic where there was no no home crowds. I 547 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: am curious home teams are not doing not getting it 548 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: done this year, given the first class flights and the 549 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: great health that every team has given the advanced you know, 550 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: the physicians on each team, and like every team is 551 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: just healthier, it seems. But is home field advantage worth 552 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: anything at this point? Yeah, it is. It's not as 553 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: much as it used to be. But I'll tell you what, guys, 554 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: what you're seeing now is teams having to deal with 555 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: noise when they travel. And I covered the Buccaneers and 556 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: all their law uses are roadbosses because they're trying to 557 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: deal I was at the Superdome and it was one 558 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: hundred and ten to a hundred and twenty decibels every 559 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: time the Bucks came up to the ball. So yeah, 560 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: it's it's not as great an advantage anymore, especially on 561 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: Thursday football point, because it's such a short week. I'm 562 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: amazed at a visiting team Eaven wins on a Thursday, 563 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: so that's amazing. But yeah, with everything happening now and 564 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: still home fields in advantage. But it's not like, you know, 565 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: throw the ball out, we're gonna win anymore. You're gonna 566 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: have to p our. Guest is Leo Haggarty. He is 567 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: a former NFL scout and a Buccaneers beat writer and 568 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: also covers college football right here on The Dan Patrick Show, 569 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: Rob Parker, Jason McIntyre on Your Black Friday. Now, let's 570 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: talk about the Bucks. They lost a couple of weeks 571 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: ago to Washington twenty nine nineteen on the road. They 572 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: come back and beat the woeful Giants thirty to ten 573 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: at home, and now they have the Colts coming up 574 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: at Indianapolis. Where is this team? There's seven and three. 575 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought they were going 576 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: to run it back and you know, get to the 577 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and win it again. They brought all their 578 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: players back, supposedly they were one hundred percent vaccinated and whatnot, 579 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: and when they claim everybody is even a brown Antonio Brown. 580 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: But but where are the Buccaneers. They don't feel the 581 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: same to me. They don't feel like where they were 582 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: a year ago. Do they still have a shot at 583 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: winning a Super Bowl? You know what? That's in the 584 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: student observation. They're not where they were last year because 585 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: their secondary hambles. Physically, they've been beat up since Week 586 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: one against Dallas. But the big thing, guys, and here's 587 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: what I think you want to look at when you're 588 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: looking at teams going to the Super Bowl. The Bucks 589 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: had thirteen ers their bye week. They only had to 590 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: play eight gamest of the season, and again they got healthy. 591 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: That's the big thing. Check and see who's got the 592 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: late bye weeks this year. Tampa Bay is gonna have 593 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: to play nine games in a row just to get 594 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: to the second season in January. It's a little bit 595 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: different of a team again, Guys. Offensively they're jugg not 596 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: they're going to score points. Defensively again, they could be 597 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: the Baya back that's going to help. They think they 598 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: may have them back to Indianapolis. But guys, this is 599 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a great game. I think Jonathan Taylor is 600 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: the key. If the Bucks can stop Jonathan Taylor to 601 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: the game, I'll tell you what right now, that's a 602 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,479 Speaker 1: tall order, Leo. I'm looking at the Seattle Seahawks here 603 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,479 Speaker 1: kind of floundering three and seven, they don't have their 604 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: first round pick. It goes to my Jets in the 605 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams heist. And there's some stories trickling out of 606 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: Seattle right now about Russell Wilson versus Pete Carroll versus 607 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: the offense. It sounds like a locker room divided. If 608 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: you buy into line movement. Seattle opened is a favorite 609 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: heading into should on Monday night football. There now two 610 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: and a half point underdogs. It sounds like the end 611 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: of an era in Seattle. I am curious where you 612 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: are on Russell Wilson. Do you think he returns? Does 613 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll return or go to USC I've been pushing 614 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: that for a while. What do you think happens in Seattle? 615 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: You know what, guys, that's that's a great question. And again, 616 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: when you look at what's going on in Seattle, the 617 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: big thing is Russ likes it there in the city. 618 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: He's kind of like an icon in a town where 619 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: all you have now is the Seattle Seahawks. Now, all 620 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you got the cracking in hockey, and 621 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: you got the Mariners, but the only successful team has 622 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: been the Seahawks. I think they're going to try to 623 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: find a way to make Russ happy. And again, you're 624 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: talking about injured and just If it's the wrong guys 625 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: getting hurt, that's a problem. But if I'm Russ, I'm 626 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: sitting down and say, guys, are we're gonna get some 627 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. That's the big thing that's missing in Seattle. 628 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: And if Pete Carroll, I'm going to go into ownership 629 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: and say, hey, are we going to be able to 630 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: make some moves? We gotta gets in here. Yeah. But 631 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: the only problem Leoh is he has such a big contract. 632 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: It cuts into their ability to do exactly what he 633 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: needs to be done. So I think that's the problem. 634 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: If I'm Seattle, to be honest, I start all over. 635 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: I pulled the plug, I trade Russell Wilson and try 636 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: to get what I can. Remember, he was disgruntled a 637 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: year ago, right, and you don't want to go into that. 638 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: Once people know that he doesn't want to be in Seattle, 639 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: then his value slips and you can't get the same. 640 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: If I'm if I'm in Seattle, I'm picking up the 641 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: phone and I'm starting to call around to see what 642 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: I could get and think that the whole team has 643 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: to be overhauled, and you can't do it with a 644 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: high paid quarterback. You know what That's a great way 645 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: to go. But I would sit down with Russ first 646 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: and say, hey, Russ, can we restructure your contract to 647 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: see if we can make things work to get you 648 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: players now. If he says no, then you get on 649 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: the phone and you say, Okay, we're in the Russell 650 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: Wilson sweep stakes. Now, who wants to play Leo? I 651 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: guess I could wrap up with this. You know, somebody 652 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: could make an argument that Aaron Rodgers and the Packers 653 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: right now are the most dangerous team left in the NFL. 654 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: And I say that because they've got so many injuries. 655 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: Their top cornerback Alexander's down, their ed rushers have been hurt. 656 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: You just wonder if Aaron Rodgers had that great win 657 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: in Arizona, they're able to stay up near the top 658 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: of the NFC. Are they maybe your Super Bowl favorites 659 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: once they get healthy heading into the postseason? They're my 660 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 1: favorite at home. I'll tell you what. The Buccaneers last 661 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: year got a break. They went to Washington, New Orleans 662 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: Green Bay with no fans, and in Green Bay it 663 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: was a bomby fifty five. Yeah. And I'll tell you what, guys, 664 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: if anybody listens seeing Aaron Rodgers is a top of 665 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: the list for the NBP. Just look at what happened 666 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 1: when Jordan Love came in. That team is a five 667 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: or six win team. Put out Aaron Rodgers. So yeah, 668 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what if the road to the Super 669 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: Bowl leads through Hey, I think the Packers are packing 670 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: their bags and going to LA for the Big One. 671 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Leo Haggety, where appreciate you jumping in 672 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,439 Speaker 1: here on the Dan Patrick Show right here on Fox 673 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

And yes, 692 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: we were filled with NFL football on Thanksgiving, which of 693 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: course is a tradition. No NBA basketball, but the NBA 694 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: will heat up again, and the Los Angeles Lakers so far, Jason, 695 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: it has been a very uneven season. Obviously Lebron James 696 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 1: was out has been injured. But the Lakers, they don't 697 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: look good, they don't feel good. What do you make 698 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: of the Lakers so early on in this NBA season? 699 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: Injuries are the story. They haven't had Kendrick Nunne. I 700 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: just thought i'd tossed that out. Yeah, is that okay? Right? 701 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: Stop the pre offseason. Horton Tucker just returned. He's got 702 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: a busted finger. He can't shoot with the busted finger. 703 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: I actually predicted exactly this. Rob. I said that they 704 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: would start about five hundred, like they did in Miami 705 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: and Lebron's first year, when you got basically an entire 706 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,240 Speaker 1: new team. I mean, I think six of their top 707 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: nine guys are new people to the team. Or I mean, 708 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: and you're counting Dwight Howard as a newbie. But it's 709 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: I just love count Dwight Howard. He want a championship 710 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: with those Yeah, he was in Philadelphia last year. He 711 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: had to wear a name tag, so everybody in his 712 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: huddle knew who he was. Him and Anthony Davis already 713 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: nearly went to blows this season. Um, there's some issues 714 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: in that Laker locker room. It all centers around Russell Westbrook. 715 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm not going to panic yet. I knew this would happen. 716 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: I called it on my podcast Straight Fire. I did 717 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 1: my season preview. I said the Lakers will start five 718 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: hundred about ten and ten because Russell Westbrook is gonna 719 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: have to get introduced to the team and the old 720 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: Russ is gonna have to be ditched because guess what, 721 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to become a new Russ. And when 722 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: you're asking the guy, you're asking a guy who's uh 723 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: had triple double seasons like nobody ever before the NBA 724 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: to change whoop damn dude, what did that get him? Rob? 725 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: First round out of the playoffs. You can't do that. 726 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: You have to do that you want to Lebronch and 727 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis were the ones who brought him here. Okay, 728 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: they should have said to him, Russ, hey, Bro, you 729 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: fall in line. You might not play at the end 730 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: of games. Don't shoot threes. Become a new player. You 731 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: want to win a championship, will help you get one. 732 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: You get to come home to La. You gotta make 733 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,280 Speaker 1: some concessions, Rob. We all have to make concessions in life, Okay, 734 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: and Russell Westbrook needs to fall in line and become 735 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: a new guy. He cannot shoot threes, he cannot be 736 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: a ballhog. He's got to set screens, he's got to 737 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: move off the ball. These are things he historically has 738 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: not done. But guess what, he hasn't won Jack Squat 739 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: in his life. No, but you want to play with 740 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: the goat, lebron you want to win a title, then 741 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 1: then change who you are because that's work. But they 742 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: brought him. He was supposed to be the guy that 743 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 1: when Lebron ain't there or sitting down, or or Lebron 744 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: is uh injured, because remember he's been injured three or 745 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 1: four years in Los Angeles. When Lebron's not around, Russ 746 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: was supposed to cook and do his thing, and they 747 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: weren't supposed to miss a beat. That's that's what he 748 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: was brought here to do, not to not to stand 749 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: in the corner and and and shoot three. A spot 750 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: up shooter. He's not that guy. Okay, So it doesn't 751 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: make sense to make a trade for a guy and 752 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: then ask him to be something else. That's a that's 753 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: a recipe for disaster. Yeah no, Well, rob I I 754 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: went on Calherd Show and I said, guys, Russell Westbrook 755 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: needs to lead the second team of the Lakers. Okay, 756 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: when you get a bunch of backups in there, give 757 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: me twenty five minutes a night of Russ with the 758 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: backups carrying the second unit. He will obliterate backups in 759 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: this league. He tries really hard, and he's a veteran. 760 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,479 Speaker 1: He can't run with the big dogs. He cannot run 761 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: with the first unit because he's a non shooter. Okay, 762 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony can shoot. Don't play a lick a D 763 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: but he can shoot. Okay, Well, you just said one 764 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,720 Speaker 1: of the biggest issues with that team is that nobody 765 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: plays D. I mean, their defense is an abomination. I think, 766 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: what are you winning? What are you winning if you 767 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: don't play any defense. I'm not talking about great defense. 768 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: It's an older team. They're going to be prone for injuries. 769 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: Trying to get this is a disaster. This is a disaster. Disaster, 770 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: rob because it is a disaster. Is absolutely Have you 771 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: seen the teams that they've lost to. Okayc and some 772 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 1: of the weak as the as the Warriors gobble up 773 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: the week schedule US three, I can't wait till we 774 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,800 Speaker 1: battle over Steph Curry an hour number two or three 775 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: or maybe all of our number three. Hey, hit me up, 776 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: hit me up. When the playoffs happened, and he makes 777 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: a big, subsistantly bad on Steph Curry, who's one of 778 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 1: the greatest players, most important players in the history of basketball. 779 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: Get that. But how about this? I thought you. I 780 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: wanted to give you a thirty second platform to chime 781 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: in on Lebron getting that Karen tossed in Indiana when 782 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: she's blurting out horrible language at Lebron from the front row. 783 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: You pay big money to see the biggest draw in 784 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers basketball this season. That's when Lebron comes to town, 785 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: and you're gonna sit in the front row and curse 786 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: and say bad comments to Lebron, like nasty, vile stuff 787 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: that if somebody said it to you in the street, 788 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: you guys would throw fists. And this woman is saying 789 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: it to Lebron. I love that he got that Karen 790 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: toss out of there. That was awesome. Well, I mean, 791 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: just because you pay and buy a ticket doesn't mean 792 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: you could say anything you want. And supposedly the stuff 793 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: she was saying was vile, And you know what, when 794 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: that happens, Lebron has the right, and I think the 795 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,839 Speaker 1: NBA has a right. Yeah, that that is not acceptable. 796 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: And people who think they can say anything that people 797 00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: could they buy a ticket, I think are mistaken.
