00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:15.560
Welcome inside the Treehouse Football Podcast.
I'm Daniel Malley, along with Trey Trenholm

2
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:24.600
and Raj Sharma are Cowboys coming off
of a forty nine seventeen demolition of the

3
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:31.679
New York Football Giants and their third
string. I'm not related to Danny DeVito.

4
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:40.600
I I've already forgotten his first name. I believe so of the Giants.

5
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:48.000
So what's that I don't I don't, I said, I believe so

6
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.280
of the Giants. Yeah, I
believe they've forgotten his name as well.

7
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.320
Yeah, I don't know if that's
the name you really need to commit to

8
00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:03.240
memory. I don't think it is. But you know what he's he's living

9
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.319
the high life right now as as
the starting quarterback of the New York Giants.

10
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.599
He's still living at home with his
mom and his dad. His laundry

11
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.680
is done for him. His mom
makes his bed every day he had.

12
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.719
She's got chicken cutlets ready for him
when he gets home from practice or games.

13
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.680
Granted, he spends the majority of
the time running for his life.

14
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:32.799
You think she makes some little chicky
nuggies in the shapes of footballs. I

15
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.519
know now, I just picked him
outside of the stadium, like waiting for

16
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:42.200
his ride. All the other players
are getting in there, like, my

17
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:48.040
mom's almost here. It's all good
guy, thanks. The other players are

18
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.000
offering him rides. Pissed off that
mom didn't pack putting in his lunch,

19
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:57.519
teammates are offering him like my mom
says, I can't get in the car

20
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:06.400
with strangers. That's true because he
didn't really know some of those I'm sure

21
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.879
a number of those guys. Because
not only is the name so quintessential slash

22
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:17.960
stereotypical Jersey, the fact that he
grew up nine miles from the stadium,

23
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.560
still lives in the same house with
his family that is twelve minutes from the

24
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:27.840
practice facility. I'm sure a number
of the players thought, this is a

25
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:32.800
fan that just snuck into the locker
room. That's the twelfth man. Were

26
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:38.000
like the fifteenth Yeah, I remember, Like you know, we've talked about

27
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:44.599
my my football participation. I wouldn't
say playing participation in high school. Like

28
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.120
my sophomore year, I actually got
to second string, which I was very

29
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.280
I just want That's all I wanted
to be. I just wanted to stay

30
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.759
there. Freshman year, I was
six string out of four receivers. Do

31
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.039
the math at home, one hundred
percent sure. There was this first string,

32
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.360
second string, third string, two
empty spaces and then me, So

33
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.159
I wasn't I wasn't faster than no
one. So uh I would lose in

34
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:12.199
my own foot race, that's how
well. But I got to second string,

35
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.240
and I just remember being like,
I'm good, I'm good here.

36
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.280
I don't need to So anytime I
would see like the like the corner,

37
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.360
take a take a hit, I
was like, oh, I'm not,

38
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.280
get up, get up. I
don't wanna. I don't, I don't

39
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.719
wanna. I got to hear I'm
good. I'm not. I'm not that,

40
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.960
I'm not. I'm not sick string
anymore. I'm second, I'm fine.

41
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.479
And uh so I imagine the the
Vido whatever his first name is.

42
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:40.680
Uh when when the when Daniel Jones
went out with the Achilles and and the

43
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.000
second string quarterback went up. He's
like, cool, there's no way,

44
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.280
there's no way it's gonna be me. And then that guy went out and

45
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:54.919
he's like, dude, no,
you can tell like that was looking Probably

46
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.120
it was probably assuming the Giants would
do what so many the other NFL teams

47
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.120
do when they lose the starting quarterback
or two quarterbacks they called Josh Dobbs.

48
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:09.840
The problem is the Giants were too
late on that, and Jobs is already

49
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.759
playing somewhere else. So Divido's like, yeah, it's you kid, Yeah,

50
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.279
and his face the entire game was
like come on, guys like that.

51
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.040
The like every time he got up
from taking a hit, he just

52
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:27.319
kind of like, hey, somebody
helped me. That was I lost interest

53
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.079
in that game. And you know
what, I lost interest in that game.

54
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.920
I think what it was twenty one
nothing. I was like, all

55
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.160
right, we're gone. I can
see. I actually came in I think

56
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:40.160
at the perfect time because we had
an event, so I missed the first

57
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.759
part of the game, so I
don't even know what happened. You know.

58
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.720
I didn't start watching the game until
about ten minutes left in the second

59
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:55.040
quarter, and the game was almost
over by then. Even Yes, the

60
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.600
yeah, the good thing I will
take away from that game as a Cowboys

61
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:05.800
fan is that's what they were supposed
to do to the really just downtrodden giants.

62
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:10.839
That's what they were supposed to do. So they Yeah, they met

63
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.560
expectations in that game. Yes,
I mean that's I think that's what you

64
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.879
know and they were. One of
the commentators was talking about how Dak had

65
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.000
made a comment like, you know, we feel really good from coming off

66
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.399
a win, and let's let's go
to this game with that same momentum.

67
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.079
And I'm like, but they're also
two and six, so let's and they're

68
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:35.040
all on their third string quarterbacks.
So yeah, they won, but it's

69
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:40.199
like, it's still like the Eagles, like, come on, guys,

70
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.959
we're about to We're going to play
them again here soon, so let's let's

71
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.600
play like that. Let's manage that
expectation. But to be the two and

72
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.240
six team on a third string quarterback
like that, I don't know how.

73
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.319
I wasn't like, I wasn't overjoyed. I was like, all right,

74
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.879
we won, cool ass smart,
But by like you said, by ten

75
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.319
minutes into the second quarter, I
was like, I can start dinner now.

76
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.199
I'm good. I'm not I don't
need to be attentive through this.

77
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.680
But it was it was. I
mean, it was fun. I was

78
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.319
more irritated by that fourth and goal
call in the first quarter than I was

79
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.319
anything. Yeah, that's the first
text men. I was like, it

80
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.360
they're they're trade text three Immediately was
so disappointed. I'm like, they just

81
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.560
started. That's that was just a
boneheaded call. Yeah, they were just

82
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:26.199
plain aggressive. They were trying to
feel it. That why Why Because because

83
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:32.279
they knew the Giants were two and
six and realistically, man up, man

84
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.639
up off this. You showed me
you can get a yard. Oh you

85
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.879
can't, You're I mean, that
was just it was a stupid call.

86
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:45.879
Pardon my language, that's okay.
It's passion. Trade's passionate. Yeah,

87
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.199
take the three points and move on
down the road. Yeah, it was

88
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.800
a texture. I was like,
come on, buddy, relax. They

89
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.000
know they're gonna win. That's what
then. And also it also it makes

90
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.800
me mad that the signature thing with
Philly and why they're so good, the

91
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.720
tush push whatever you want to call
it, the Cowboys can't even do They

92
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:09.800
cannot like fourth and one can't do
it. Yeah, but I mean it,

93
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.720
but again, it was that thing
like that, that call was,

94
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.040
Hey, we're gonna win this by
a mile, So if we want to

95
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:20.879
goof around, let's let's do that. And let's see because we we do

96
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:24.800
have tougher teams coming up, so
let's see if we can get these plays

97
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.439
to work or not work or because
they're gonna go back and watch the film

98
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.879
on that and go, here's why
that didn't work. So let's yeah,

99
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.079
I guess it's not it's not technically
goof around, but I think you're right.

100
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.759
It's like that they were looking at
the game against the Giant says,

101
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.279
you know what, A lot of
this stuff is sort of like this is

102
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:46.360
a nationally televised practice for us.
Yes, yes, that's exactly what it

103
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.199
was. This is like a scrip
in mind, this is this is the

104
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.519
same team that got their ass whipped
by Arizona. So I don't know that

105
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.959
we can really go into any game
going eh, we got this. No,

106
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.879
I think that one you can.
I mean third string quarterback. Yeah,

107
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.319
you're right, but that's what I'm
saying, the third string quarterback.

108
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.560
And let's be honest, if there
was if there was any team that would

109
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.079
be, you know, possibly above
average in the NFL to get its ass

110
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.000
handed to it by the New York
Giants with a third string quarterback at home,

111
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.279
it would be the Cowboys. Yes, uh, And that's why you

112
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.959
know I do like this. This
is when I enjoyed Trey's pessimism. It's

113
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.759
when he's like, well, we
could lose, and I'm like, he's

114
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:43.039
he's like of the treehouse, he's
my e or like it's not like it's

115
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.200
not Yeah, there is a lot
of pessimism, but I mean, to

116
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.200
me, that's just realism. With
the Cowboys, I still don't I don't

117
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.440
think it was sound coaching, sound
logic, right then? You know here

118
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.639
in the first first drive, first
quarter, Yeah, you and and you

119
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.759
have a team that, let's be
honest, kind of a fragile psyche.

120
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.039
Why risk it? Why risk it
at fourth and goal in any game that

121
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.080
you know you can easily win?
Take the three points? And you know,

122
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.279
yeah, did you you know if
that had been against Philly, I

123
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.120
probably would have had been all right, you know what, they're a better

124
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.320
team. You gotta roll the dice, you gotta take your chances. I

125
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.919
would be more down with that than
I am with with the Giants. And

126
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.799
that's that's all. Yeah. Yeah, did you did you have? Did

127
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.240
you have the over? Is that? What is that what this is about?

128
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.519
I'm pretty sure that hit regardless make
the Cowboys hit that? Yeah,

129
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.759
that was they actually did. Because
I remember last week I'm watching the game

130
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.320
and I'm thinking, I think I
told Trey to place a bet for me,

131
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:52.879
and I wanted the under and and
the Cowboys did that themselves. Yeah,

132
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.840
that's why I remember watching it,
going to dance the under. I'm

133
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.480
like, what, like I did? But that's sort of like, sort

134
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.919
of like Trey, I have a
little bit of that cowboy's pessimism. Now,

135
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.600
if we're looking at at our show
here in our sports analysis of the

136
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:13.120
Cowboys, as you know Winnie the
Pooh characters, Trey is definitely or I

137
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.120
would imagine I'm probably poo Or,
and then and Raj you're obviously Tigger,

138
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:28.159
Yes, founcing around. Yeah,
Cowboys. I And can we just say,

139
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:33.200
just for the sake of say,
ceedee, Lamb is probably one of

140
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.919
the best receivers in this game.
That that one handed catch was probably the

141
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.519
most amazing thing I've ever seen.
It was pretty great. The thing I

142
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.679
can't stand it with, Oh,
when wide receivers make one handed catches like

143
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:54.799
that, are the times that they
drop the two handed ones. Yeah,

144
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.360
but if you want, I mean, and I've watched it over and over

145
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.240
again, I don't even think he
saw the ball. I think he just

146
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.240
knew that's where it was going to
be, and his hand went there like

147
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.080
that was incredible, and then he
almost did twice in the same game.

148
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.279
But yeah, that was for me. Ceedee Lamb was the highlight. And

149
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.360
then I believe Bland had an interception
as well. Did he have an interception?

150
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:28.279
Talked down talking about Ceedee Lamb and
the massive game he had. You

151
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:35.320
also finally had a massive game from
Brandon Cooks had You even had some meaningful

152
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.519
catches and a touchdown as well for
Michael Gallup. It was basically a wide

153
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.440
receiver party for the Cowboys for the
first time this season, where everybody's just

154
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.240
you know, everyone's having a good
time and as the offensive side goes.

155
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.080
It was an end zone party as
well. Dak had won CD's in the

156
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.320
end zone, Brandon Cooks is in
the end zone, Rico Doubtele is in

157
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.679
the end zone. The one guy
left out, poor Tony Pollard. Yeah,

158
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.399
apparently he was the only guy of
the skilled positions on the Cowboys offense

159
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.240
that did not get the invitation to
the end zone party. Yeah, and

160
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.120
you know, and again it goes
back to you guys actually played played and

161
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.399
be like, you know, uh, as opposed to me who just just

162
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.759
I was. I was present,
joyfully, I didn't miss a game.

163
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.000
Uh, they wouldn't have noticed.
Well they would have. I wasn't the

164
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.000
only brown guy, so they would
have noticed. Uh. But like,

165
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.240
is okay? So that when they're
like, you your quarterback goes down,

166
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.679
they're like and and it's always an
assumption made that the that that's it,

167
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.320
like the game, you know,
the season could be over, like when

168
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:45.799
Rogers went down, and uh,
Zach Wilson, Zach Wilson, yeah takes

169
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.600
over, Like you know what,
it's just whatever it is? Now?

170
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.759
Is that is that legitimately that big
of a I know he's the leader of

171
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.639
the team, and I get that. Is it legitimately that big of a

172
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.480
deal? Like, I understand,
but these are all skilled players, amally

173
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.919
it is. But you've made it
to the NFL. You're all very skilled

174
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.840
players. You're all elite players to
make it to that level. So why

175
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.559
would that make so much of a
difference. I just don't. Because it's

176
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.679
the NFL. Because it's the NFL, and they spend so much money on

177
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:22.159
the starting quarterbacks that other positions,
other starting positions on the team, there's

178
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.919
a drop off sometimes because you spend
so much money on a top flight quarterback,

179
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.679
you can't afford to have top flight
players at every at every position that

180
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.200
you want unless you get them on
their rookie deals. Right Well, what

181
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.000
I'm saying is, like, is
the bond with the rest of that for

182
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.639
that starting quarterback and the bond with
that team, is it that isolated that

183
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.159
you can't have a second person come
in and fill those shoes immediately? I

184
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.679
think I think it really depends.
And like so a great example was with

185
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.120
the Jets when Aaron Rodgers goes down. The problem with that is they already

186
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.639
c. J. Wilson's been playing
with him for two years. They knew

187
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.159
what they had in CJ. Wilson. So I think there is a massive

188
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.639
confidence of just the lack of car
Like Rogers goes down, there goes our

189
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.919
season because they know they got crap
as a backup. I think other times,

190
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.960
and you've seen it that you know
backups will come in and if they

191
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.679
have if they can show a little
bit of confidence and make a throw that

192
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.240
they can do Okay, they're obviously
game in and gay out, are not

193
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.559
going to be as good as the
starters. That's why they're backups. But

194
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.200
you know dobbs like that, you
know in Minnesota. He came in.

195
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.039
I mean, he didn't even know
the playbook, but obviously he had the

196
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.240
confidence and you know, get in
the huddle and said, you know,

197
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.159
and they got it done. And
so I think it very much depends.

198
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:45.000
But I think that's why there are
some there are some good backups. Colt

199
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.240
McCoy, like I think I think
he retired then I think they brought him

200
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.039
back one of those good back like, you know, serviceable backups. He

201
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.159
can go in there and make some
decent throws whatever. And you know,

202
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.039
that's why he'll make He made a
couple of million dollars a year for most

203
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.240
of his career and hardly played not
a bad Yeah, and real quick,

204
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.039
you said, CJ. But I
know you mean Zach Wilson. Although the

205
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.039
old, the old Rangers pitchers,
c J. Wilson coming out of baseball

206
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.320
retirement and pulling him out of a
race car, he might be able to

207
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.240
do it. Yeah, talk about
talking about head cases. Yeah, And

208
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:24.120
and and I've always I've always just
I have a theory about quarterbacks. And

209
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:28.840
and they always have great names like
they I think at a very young age

210
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.240
when you're when you guys are in
pee weed or little League, whatever you

211
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.200
call it. They see the kid
with the name and they go, that's

212
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.440
we don't know if he's got the
skill, but Cole McCoy, you have.

213
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.039
There's no other thing you're going to
do in the state of Texas but

214
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.039
play. You're you're the guy that
I think he may be on to something

215
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.399
there, especially when you think about
the great quarterbacks of the history of the

216
00:15:52.519 --> 00:16:03.360
NFL. Just imagine a little six
year old Joey Montana, Like you can

217
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.600
come in as the coach and you're
like, you know what, I think

218
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.080
that's our I think that's our quarterback. It's got to be. You're not

219
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.639
gonna take it. You're not going
to take a little, a little tiny

220
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:22.320
joe Montana and say linebacker, where's
that kicker Montana at? You know?

221
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.720
Yeah, Like Joey Montana sounds like
a character out of a mob movie,

222
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.200
Like go talk to Joey Montana.
Uh, And they have they have those

223
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.399
names like Colt McCoy. I'm like, come on, man, like either

224
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.600
football or you own a Dodge dealership, Like that's all you can do.

225
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:42.039
Like it's come on down to Colt
McCoy, Dolledge, like that's what that

226
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:47.080
actually would it wouldn't surprise me if
he actually does that as well. Yeah,

227
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:52.080
that's or you do both. Because
it's when when I hear like the

228
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.559
quarterbacks, and especially like in college
football, some of them are just incredible.

229
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.960
I'm like, of course you're the
quarterback, and they're always ridiculously good

230
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.279
looking dude, Like I know the
Georgia quarterback is the one with stets in

231
00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:08.559
something before. Yes, yeah,
that's just ridiculous. I'm like, come

232
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.000
on, man, like you knew, like they gave birth to it,

233
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:18.920
like they're like and push and pass
like that's what that's how it happened.

234
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.920
Like that's that's why I say,
like, and I joke about Indians,

235
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.559
but you're never gonna be You're never
gonna be sitting at a bar and be

236
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:29.319
like, ah, man, did
Pataiale throw another interception? And like that's

237
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:32.160
not going to be. Uh,
you know, you're not gonna have a

238
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.480
starting quarterback with an Indian Indian last
name. It's not gonna happen for a

239
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.880
very long time. Well, you
mentioned the quarterback, you know, good

240
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:45.519
looking scale have you seen Notre Dame's
quarterback? I have not this year?

241
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.559
I have not is he is?
He? Is it? Handsl fella.

242
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:55.200
He that honestly might be an understatement. Yes, and say that as a

243
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.960
as a as a straight red blooded
American male. But Sam, he's a

244
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:04.359
beautiful man starting yeah, Sam Hard
mm hmmm, Sam okay, Well,

245
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.319
and you're right when when when he
came out of the womb, he will

246
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:12.640
yeah, I mean he was a
photo shoot ready. Yeah, he's he's

247
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.519
yeah, he's the he's Yeah.
He should be in every outdoor movie from

248
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:22.799
now on. Uh and an outdoor
any any outdoor adventure. But he's he's

249
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.400
what, he's what every guy in
every Lifetime movie looks like. I was

250
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.519
actually going to say, if he's
not starring in every single Hallmark Channel film,

251
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:41.240
then they should just shut the network
down. Heart to Hartman, Yeah,

252
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.000
that's a good looking guy. That's
a that's a handsome fellow there.

253
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.440
Good good for him. See that's
what I'm saying. Like they that's how

254
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.519
they do it. They go,
what's his name? Sam Hart? Sam

255
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.119
like, ah, he could be. Let's see what he looks like.

256
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:56.839
And then Sam walked in like,
yeah, he's the quarterback. I mean,

257
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.160
that's clearly the face of army.
When you're looking than the than the

258
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:11.599
brawny paper towel Man. Yeah,
that's a Okay, that's a that's solid.

259
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.400
By my theory is coming My theory
is coming true. Which, by

260
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.720
the way, you know who else
was a starting quarterback at Notre Dame Joey

261
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:29.160
Montana. That's correct. You're listening
to the tree House. Visit us online,

262
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:48.200
that treehouse on air dot com.
You're listening to the tree House.

263
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:59.960
Visit us online, that treehouse on
air dot com. In addition, ron

264
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:04.680
to the money that's paid to starting
quarterbacks, which does not leave a whole

265
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:11.680
lot of money left for other quarterbacks
on the team or other positions, there

266
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.759
is another glaring reason to answer your
question why there's such a drop off from

267
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.599
QB one to QB two. Right, What I'm what I'm saying, not

268
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:25.759
even the drop off. What I'm
saying is is the bond between that starting

269
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:30.119
quarterback and the rest of that team
so critical? Because everybody's made it to

270
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.119
the NFL the elite of the elite, so one in one hundred and eighty

271
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.599
thousand people will make it to the
NFL. They've made it. So is

272
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.359
it and this is my question,
is that bond between QB one and the

273
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:47.160
rest of the team that critical that
if they go down QB, two steps

274
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.039
in and they can go you know
what, that's season. Like when Aaron

275
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.720
Rodgers went down, the color commentary
basically went, well, there go the

276
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:59.640
Jets. That's a wrap. Well, and again that's because they knew who

277
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.039
the backup was. To answer your
question, and a lot of this is

278
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:08.720
the answer is yes, that that
bond is that tight because almost every collective

279
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:14.359
bargaining agreement that they've done in the
last twenty years has shortened the practice time

280
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.880
they have, so the number of
snaps that they take in practice is very

281
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.160
limited, and so the first team
quarterback gets all the snaps like literally,

282
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.960
gotcha? Okay, I mean unless
there's a week where there they think it's

283
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.319
like the end of the year or
whatever and they know they're going to play

284
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.640
the backup, he might get ten
percent of the snaps. Dan, you

285
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.000
you've covered football, you know better
than I would about that. But all

286
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.640
in all, like it's all the
first team, so all and everything in

287
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:45.359
the NFL is so much timing that
if so when you put someone else in

288
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.400
there, the you know, the
new field general and they're not used to

289
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:49.599
hearing them. That's why that's why
a lot of times you see the off

290
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.480
side, like the false starts and
all that other stuff. It's just so

291
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:57.039
different. The more you do anything, typically, the better at it you

292
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:03.279
will become. Yeah, yeah,
okay. That you may not necessarily get

293
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:04.759
better at it because at a certain
point you may hit a you know,

294
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.200
you may hit a ceiling or a
wall. But at the very least you'll

295
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:12.720
get more comfortable doing it. Yeah, okay, And I guess and then

296
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:18.559
everybody else around you gets that that
comfort factor. But because I would,

297
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.519
I would assume by now the Jets
would be in rhythm with Zach Wilson,

298
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:27.039
right, I assume that, But
but I guess not because there is a

299
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.480
potential of Aaron Rodgers coming back.
Now, well all but they know,

300
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.079
but Zach Wilson is crap, I
mean, and they know that. That's

301
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.519
It's not like it's an unknown factor
that, oh, we just got this

302
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.680
guy in and you know, he's
the second string quarterback, but we think

303
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:47.759
he'll do great things. But when
they know it's one in one hundred and

304
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.200
eighty thousand people will make it to
the NFL and he's one of them.

305
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:55.599
So but let's also keep in mind
wise that that while that statistic is accurate.

306
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:02.079
NFL scouts miss like they they are
just as fallible as anybody else in

307
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:04.599
any other profession because they have missed
many, many, many, many many

308
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.839
times over the years. They've nailed
it a lot, like Troy Aikman's a

309
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:11.839
great example, number one overall pick, Hall of Fame everything. It was

310
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.799
everything that the Cowboys hoped he would
be, and he became that. Yeah.

311
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.759
On the flip side right now,
looking at say the forty nine ers

312
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:22.480
Rock Party, Yeah, he wasn't
drafted in the first round, wasn't drafted

313
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.880
in the second, the third,
all the way to the end of the

314
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.039
draft. They finally took this kid
who sounded whose names sounded more like a

315
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:36.519
porn star than a quarterback, and
and he's lights out. Yeah, No,

316
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:40.440
I agree, Like they're for for
every for every rock party. You

317
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:45.839
have a Tim Teba, like you
have this great college quarterback who just I

318
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.680
mean just panned out, I mean
just so quickly in the NFL. And

319
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:56.559
or who's the quarterback for the Cardinals? Uh first, who was the first

320
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:02.440
round no, no before ages before
him, but he washed out very quickly.

321
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:06.279
As while you're talking, Josh Rosen, Yeah, yeah, that's what

322
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:10.359
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, I
mean it's but it happens in you know,

323
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:15.000
it happens in all aspects of business. I mean, you know there

324
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.039
are major media companies that hire shows
that don't even know to turn the microne.

325
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:32.079
So well done. That was that
was can I can I say masterful,

326
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.839
effortless and skilled at the same time. Well well done and and with

327
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.960
the and with the sinus infection,
it was like it was like watching Jordan

328
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:52.000
with the flu. That was dominant
punchline tray, much like the Cowboys dominant

329
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:57.279
performance over the Giants. That was
well done. Man, I got nothing

330
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:02.319
after that. You don't too,
So we can put the game against the

331
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:07.079
Giants to bed. Yeah, but
now we look forward to the last scheduled

332
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:15.039
noon game for the Cowboys this season
against the very Like if you think it

333
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.880
was bad enough, how cocky they
were going up against the Giants, Now

334
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:26.119
it's the one in eight panthers.
Yeah, this is what's the what's the

335
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.920
what's the what's the spread on this
tray? What's a go into your degenerate

336
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:36.599
gambler mind? It's probably quite a
bit, that's what it says. It

337
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:38.680
doesn't that just says quite a bit, like Vegas doesn't even want to take

338
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:41.799
money on the like, no,
we don't want this one. What's the

339
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:48.640
over? It says a lot.
How does this game have no under?

340
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.000
And for if and for being honest
about it. So you've got this is

341
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:03.079
actually the beginning of the gauntlet that
the Cowboys go through every year. So

342
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.680
you've got this game against Carolina,
and you've got the next three games are

343
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.000
in there are in eleven days.
Oh yeah, that's right, because you've

344
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:18.160
got the Panthers. Then you got
the Commanders on Thanksgiving. Yeah, and

345
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.440
then and I'm brain farting, who's
right up after that? But the Cowboys

346
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:30.799
need there's there's one more than the
Eagles. Oh gotcha? Okay, ten

347
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:36.400
and a half and forty two?
Okay, okay, ten and a half

348
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.720
of the points forty two? Give
me the over. Yeah, just give

349
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:45.000
me the over. And you know
that, you know, the Panthers are

350
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.480
like, just let it be over. I don't even know who's playing quarterback

351
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:56.279
for the Panthers. Yeah, I
don't, Sam Hartman. Ironically, it

352
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:02.759
is not he's still notre dude.
It's uh No, You've got you've got

353
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:07.759
Panthers Commanders, then Seahawks, then
the Eagles. So based on that the

354
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:14.079
Cowboys need to be They better be. I stopped sort of using the word

355
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:18.519
should because I know better. They
better win those three because they're gonna need

356
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.759
those going into their December schedule,
because the December schedule is brutal, because

357
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.599
once they go through these next three, they need to be nine and three

358
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:32.880
because then then they get the the
Eagles rematch, followed by the Bills,

359
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.400
the Dolphins, the Lions who are
still shockingly good. Yes, and then

360
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.839
the Commanders again at home. That
is a brutal December. So they need

361
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:45.680
to win these next three. Yes, Uh, it's it's a quarterback for

362
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:52.640
the is Bryce Young former husband Trophy
winner? Is the Panthers quarterback? Yeah,

363
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.000
that's a that's a brutal schedule and
and and god blest me. Yeah,

364
00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.640
I'm let's uh, let's yeah again
going into a one and eight team,

365
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:06.640
like the Bills are one of the
more puzzling teams that I've seen,

366
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:12.240
like to be that talented and yet
yeah, just at times that bad and

367
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:18.440
from last year where they were on
fire last year and then this year like

368
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.319
they were just I mean I watched
some of the Bills game this last week

369
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:25.000
and that was just tragic to watch. I don't know if you guys are

370
00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:27.119
thinking it, but I am,
so I'm going to say it. Okay,

371
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:33.519
Buffalo Bills look a lot like the
Dallas Cowboys. Really good the year

372
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.519
before, had enough success to think, hey, this year could be their

373
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:38.839
year, but then fell a little
short. And then the next year you're

374
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:41.880
like, Okay, no, really, this is really going to be their

375
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.160
year, and then out of nowhere, they just suck for no apparent reason.

376
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.200
Yeah. I mean, I've never
been and you guys know me for

377
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.480
a I've never been that guy where
I'm like, watch the first game of

378
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.480
the season and go, this is
our year, Like we're gonna take it

379
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.599
to the I've never been that guy. Because again we were talking about it

380
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.160
before. Tray is always my he's
the e R on my shoulder and he's

381
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.559
like, just just wait, we'll
f it up. Just give it time.

382
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.000
We look great, right, Yeah, Yeah, we scored thirty forty

383
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:14.960
points in the first two games.
We'll we'll, we'll f this up,

384
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:21.960
and true to form, we do
and trade is like a tod like,

385
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:23.200
I don't know what, I don't
know what else you want from it.

386
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:26.799
I told you we're gonna do that. I'm like, that's correct. So

387
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:32.200
I just kind of it's what everybody
jumped on Colorado's bandwagon when Dion Sanders went

388
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:36.319
over there and they won their first
game against TCU and they're like, it's

389
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:41.039
it's our year, and I'm like, give it time. It was yeah,

390
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.519
so yeah, yeah, it's like
give it time at the time.

391
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.240
You know, that was TCU coming
off being in the National Championship Game,

392
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.319
and yeah, people didn't realize,
oh there, it's hard to stay on

393
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.039
top and their crap this year.
Yeah, and so so I've always been

394
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.640
you say that again a little bit
slower, but make a sadder face.

395
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:15.599
I didn't. I didn't pin your
ears back to Yeah. So I've always

396
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.599
been of that elk where I'm like, you know what, I'll watch every

397
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.400
game and I'll base my like we've
been. I've been hearing people go,

398
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:29.359
this is our year for thirty years. Let's let's relax, we say it.

399
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.559
I'm not trying to be the pessimist. I'm just like, hey,

400
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:40.160
let's no, no, no,
that's Trey's thing. You can't have it.

401
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:47.000
That's all his. Yeah, but
I do I do like his that,

402
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:48.920
Like I like that, Like I
don't I don't say it out loud

403
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:56.000
and Trade does, so I internalize
the e or like he lets it out.

404
00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:03.519
I don't think i've I mean,
I don't know that I've ever been

405
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:07.519
a fan of any team where I've
gone into an air going this is our

406
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.680
year, We're gonna do it.
I mean, the closest I've ever come

407
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:17.880
is the two thousand and five Longhorns, and that was still. I mean,

408
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:19.880
you want to talk about miserable,
you should have been with me.

409
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:22.920
I'm at the Rose Bowl in that
game, the greatest game in college football

410
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.680
history, and I've been half the
fourth quarter with by hand in my eyes,

411
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:29.599
you know, answer from my eyes, going oh God, I can't

412
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.319
watch this. Yeah. So,
well you were at that game. That's

413
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.839
amazing. Mm hmm. That was
that was That was the the peak of

414
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.319
my fandom. Is I had gone
to the Rose Bowl game the year before

415
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.079
with Texas Michigan, great game,
Texas wins last second field goal, went

416
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.240
to almost every game of the year, including going up to Ohio State.

417
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.680
So that was my pinnacle of football
fandom. And then I wanted to see

418
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:55.359
Texas win a national championship, and
by god, they gave it to me

419
00:31:55.400 --> 00:32:00.359
and Wow, that's that's really cool. I've not and they've been torturing ever

420
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:10.000
since. Oh don't every I mean
a bad ill timing, ill timed firing

421
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:14.759
or hiring in college football can set
your program back a decade. HI.

422
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:21.519
Speaking of which, let's talk.
Let's talk about that Texas A and M

423
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:28.640
has dumped seventy five million dollars into
Jumbo Fisher's or Jimbo Fisher's lap to go

424
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:35.440
away. Yes, he will make
thirteen thousand I think they roughly is thirteen

425
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:38.079
thousand dollars a day for the next
No, it's twenty twenty six thousand dollars

426
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:43.960
a day till two thousand and thirty
one. To not coach, to not

427
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:49.960
coach, I have. I have
decided that if reincarnation is real, yeah,

428
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:53.559
if I would like to come back
as a college football coach. I

429
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:59.079
am now of the belief that that
is the greatest job you can have.

430
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:02.680
Of all the jobs, college football
coach has got to be one of the

431
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:07.759
best, especially when you just need
to be just successful enough to get to

432
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:13.640
a big program like in A and
M, and they give you buckets of

433
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:19.640
money, and then they give you
more buckets of money, and then they

434
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:23.279
give it to you to go away, and and and highly insulting to the

435
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:30.839
players of the team that don't make
anything. So uh yeah that that get

436
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:34.359
all of the uh all of the
well, I mean they get stuff from

437
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.359
boosters. I mean we all know
that, oh they get, but they're

438
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:42.559
they're not getting millions of dollars like
the coaching and the universities that basically worth

439
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:46.319
them for free. And it's not
like they gave him that extension after he

440
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:53.519
won the SEC. He won his
division in the SEC. Yeah, they

441
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:58.400
just had an above average year.
And but because of the cult of personality

442
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:00.960
that college football, you know,
coaches are, and you know, the

443
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:07.319
mirror talk of him going somewhere else, which was probably all drubbed up by

444
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.159
his agent, they rolled out the
check book and went, oh, ten

445
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:14.719
or ninety ninety five million dollar,
Yeah, ten million a year, basically,

446
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:17.760
yeah bonus. I've got the breakdown
here of Texas A and M's payments

447
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:22.079
to Jimbo Fisher after firing him,
within sixty days, he will be paid

448
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:28.840
nineteen point four million dollars. Within
one hundred twenty days, it'll be seven

449
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:32.000
point twenty seven million dollars. Then
for the year twenty twenty five, he

450
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:37.920
will be paid seven point twenty seven
million dollars, along with twenty twenty six,

451
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:40.960
twenty twenty seven, twenty twenty eight, twenty twenty nine, twenty thirty

452
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:49.039
and two thousand and thirty one for
six straight years, he will receive almost

453
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:53.880
seven point three million dollars to not
coach at AMM. Yeah. I need

454
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:57.320
that. I need I need that. I need that. I need to

455
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.679
talk to my agent. I'm like, I need to know what how much

456
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:05.880
money Netflix is going to give me
to not be on Look, seriously,

457
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:08.239
you can pay me the same amount
of money. Actually, you know,

458
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:13.320
you can pay me a lot less
to not also be the coach of A

459
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:17.480
and LT. I'm a lot cheaper
than Jimbo Fisher. You can pay me

460
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:22.440
fifty thousand dollars a year to not
be the head coach at A and M,

461
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:23.679
and I'll take it. Yeah.
Yeah, we'll just do one hundred

462
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:29.360
thousand dollars a year and all three
of us will split it. To not

463
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:34.199
be the coach for an I will
do a great job of that. I

464
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:37.320
would be I would be excellent.
I did a great job of not playing

465
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:43.480
in high school. I can be
even better not coaching I'm fine with this,

466
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:45.280
Like, that's so ridiculous to me, Like, I don't understand how

467
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:52.320
that works. And with social media
now that that has been just picking up

468
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:54.000
so much steep, I don't know. I don't think anything will happen.

469
00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:57.639
There's a contract sign I don't think
anything's gonna happen with it. But it's

470
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:02.239
just so many people are outraged by
this whole thing with Jimbo Fisher. Well,

471
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:06.880
speaking of outrage, just imagine that
you're one of those boosters that's paying

472
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:12.920
that. Yeah, yeah, that's
right. Absolutely, that's so wild,

473
00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:15.239
man, that's so wild. I've
never heard it. But they get to

474
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:19.159
it and but here's the thing they
get, you know, they get to

475
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.599
a point where they're like, fine, I don't want to watch this anymore.

476
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:27.039
Here, here's ten million dollars.
Make it go away. And that's

477
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.559
that's what I mean. I don't
feel sorry for the boosters because they're the

478
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:34.880
ones who forked over the check to
sign them to that a ridiculous amount,

479
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:37.880
and then they'll fork it over again
to go oh my bad. Oh yeah

480
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:42.599
no, no, don't misconstrue what
I was trying to say. I don't

481
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:46.079
feel badly for the Boosters because they
clearly have the money to throw down the

482
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:52.480
drain or in this case, at
a guy named Jimbo. Yeah, yeah,

483
00:36:52.519 --> 00:37:00.800
they're gonna be fine. But I
find it hysterical that just because and

484
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.719
this this, what this does it
it sort of solidifies to me something that

485
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:08.079
I've already believed, that is,
just because you have lots and lots of

486
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:22.800
money doesn't necessarily mean you're smart.
Oh yeah, when you're right, you're

487
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:32.360
right, Truck Longhorn Boosters aren't.
Aren't. Are not? They're not signing

488
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:40.159
that deal. Thank you for hanging
