Football #13: Good vs Great

WEBVTT

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:17.000
Welcome inside the tree House to the
Treehouse Football Podcast Lucky number thirteen. I'm

2
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:22.120
Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm and
Raj Sharma. Together we will put our

3
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:28.079
collective stupid heads together to not only
analyze break down, but also make fun

4
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:35.000
of our Dallas Cowboys, because not
enough others do, at least not within

5
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:40.479
our own fan base. Other fan
bases all the time. Skip Bayless is

6
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:45.039
a joke in his own right.
As a Cowboys fan. Stephen A.

7
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:51.359
Smith is the biggest troll on the
planet. To Cowboys fans. We're a

8
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:58.039
nach or two below that, but
I think we're better. What a beautiful

9
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:03.120
surprise. Ron Bland has turned out
to be for the Dallas Cowboys, unless

10
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:07.920
you're Dan Quinn defensive coordinator, in
which case he planned this all along because

11
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:15.200
he was asked after Deron Bland's record
breaking fifth pick six in a season,

12
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.040
which, by the way, he
did it in twelve weeks, so there's

13
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.079
no asterisk to go next to the
record like he did it in that additional

14
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.799
week that this schedule now has that
didn't have, you know, uh,

15
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:33.359
with the previous record. He gets
it in twelve weeks. Extremely impressive.

16
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.920
He could actually extend the record,
and with the paces on he probably will

17
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.560
get a couple more. But dan
Quinn actually said, that's the kind of

18
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:48.200
guy that we look for coming out
of college. We checked not just their

19
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.280
you know, their speed and their
forty and you know their vertical and all

20
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.400
that stuff they're looking at. Did
they get turnovers in college? Because if

21
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.079
they did, chances are they haven't
knack for it and it'll carry over into

22
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:07.680
the NFL. Oh and also the
Cowboys blew out another team. Happy Thanksgiving

23
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.000
to us all. Well, I
would like to just say to all the

24
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:16.159
Cowboys founds out there, you're welcome. I think I'm thinking credit for dern

25
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:23.120
Bland's success. I I I one
hundred percent responsible for this, and remind

26
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:30.560
us why that is because of the
jinx that I put on Trayvon Diggs when

27
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.639
I said he's looking good? What
was that week two? He's looking good

28
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.560
and in practice blows out the A
C L. I think it was the

29
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.240
next day. I think you said
it on a Wednesday, and then his

30
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.800
ACL snapped the next day because word, you know, traveled from Addison up

31
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:53.039
the toll way to the Star and
Frisco and your breath, your words snapped

32
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.360
Trayvon Diggs's a c L and perhaps
it was Doran Bland in the training room

33
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.879
with some scissors. No, I
might it went into the universe. The

34
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:13.560
universe conspired, h and his ACL
was unfortunately severed, uh and he was

35
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.120
out for the season. They replaced
him with Deron Blant. And I remember

36
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.919
texting you guys and I went,
U, see, I think you might

37
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.680
You guys might be right, and
Dan responding Macley, you did this.

38
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:30.120
So if that's the case, then
I'm responsible for Darn Blan And to everybody

39
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:36.120
out there, you're welcome, Trey. Do we allow it. I'm okay

40
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.520
with it, you know, but
I want to clip that, send it

41
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.360
to the Cowboys and then see if
Trayvon Diggs in front row at Rona Raja's

42
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:53.800
shows with his own scissors, he
just cuts the mic cord. Yeah.

43
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.439
It's It's interesting though, because as
a Cowboys fan, I wonder if you

44
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.039
guys are having the same feelings I
am, which is I'm greedy. The

45
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.960
franchise has five Super Bowls in its
history, two a Starbuck three with Aikman.

46
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.080
We all know that. And it's
been you know, close to thirty

47
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.599
years since the last one. But
we're still greedy. We're not happy with

48
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:19.800
ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen
win seasons. We want the big one

49
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.759
again. And I don't just want
the big one again. But now that

50
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.759
I've got a Deran Bland with you
know five pick six is in a season,

51
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.079
I want Trevon Diggs back as well. So I want Digs, Bland

52
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:38.360
and Gilmore and back there. I'm
greedy. It's not going to happen this

53
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.639
year, but in a perfect world, I dream, and that's what I

54
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:46.079
dream of right now. Well,
man, you know, let's let's not

55
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:48.439
put the car before the horse.
But maybe next year your dream can come

56
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:54.560
true with all three in the backfield. That would be pretty amazing. But

57
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.040
let's you know, it's just the
team looks good. I think Trey was

58
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.079
talking about this was going to be
the game where you can see what's kind

59
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.759
of kind of going to be like
for the remainder of the season. And

60
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:12.279
have they stepped it up to where
they can all work on the same page.

61
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.439
And I think that's what we saw. Trey. Do you still feel

62
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:26.800
that way after the performance against the
Commanders on Thanksgiving? I'm still I recomman.

63
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:34.279
I was so inept that you're like, all right, is I don't

64
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:41.839
know. I want to say,
excuse me, I want to say yes.

65
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:47.279
But and here's the other problem is
just just hawk it up, get

66
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.399
it out of your system. If
it weren't for the fact that that the

67
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:55.920
other the team that I consider probably
the best in the NFL is in their

68
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.759
division, I might have a different
outlook on everything. But that, you

69
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.600
know, that's the biggest problem is
everything you're comparing. You're looking at the

70
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.040
Cowboys and go, then you watch
the Eagles and go, damn, they're

71
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:13.399
good. I mean the city.
Yeah, But I think you're also that

72
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:17.279
that's your that's how you're gauging everything
is uh, You'll watch the Cowboys play

73
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.879
and then you watch the Eagles play, and I think if you compartmentalize it,

74
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:27.240
the Cowboys look really, really good. They look very in sync as

75
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.839
a team. They're they're going to
face the Eagles, that's the fact,

76
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.240
and and they're just I mean,
they're just unstoppable at this point. And

77
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:38.199
so hopefully what we saw with the
Commanders and how in sync they were and

78
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.120
how cutthroat they were, it was
really nice. It was a very they

79
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.399
played very and I don't know if
it's they're playing aggressive because it's a weaker

80
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.160
team, so they think they can
come in and just bully them around.

81
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:53.519
If that's the case, then we're
in trouble. But if they approach every

82
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.000
team as that with that same aggression, then we're good. Yeah, because

83
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.480
that is one of the things that
the Cowboys of the nineties had, besides

84
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:09.759
a murderous Troy Aikman, was that
swag was something that Michael Irvin brought to

85
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.519
the team and it was infectious.
And this team definitely when it win,

86
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.000
it does well. It gets confident
and does good things, but it has

87
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:25.920
a tendency to be a little soft
when things don't go their way. They

88
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.759
have a difficult time battling back and
overcoming. And that's kind of what we

89
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.160
saw with that first matchup against the
Eagles. They were extremely competitive. It

90
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.319
was a good litmus test to see
where the Cowboys were at that point,

91
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.959
especially after getting blown out by the
forty nine Ers a few weeks prior.

92
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:50.839
But now we've got the Seahawks and
then that Eagles rematch again to see Okay,

93
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:56.519
now that we have more games into
this season, we see what the

94
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.000
Eagles are, we see what the
Cape, We see what the Cowboys are

95
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:07.040
capable of, But can they be
that dominant against another dominant team or is

96
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.240
it same old, same old Cowboys
for the past three decades in their winning

97
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.160
seasons, which are beat up on
bad teams and then lose to the good

98
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.800
ones, Right, And that's I
think that's what If that's the case.

99
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.160
If what we saw with the Commanders
is them just bullying a weaker team and

100
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.480
taking that as or adding that to
their swag, to the to their attitude

101
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.399
walking into stuff, and then they
walk into the Eagles thinking they're going to

102
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.240
do that, then we're in We're
in really big trouble because if you look

103
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:39.480
at who has that natural like you
were talking about that Michael Irvin attitude,

104
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:46.279
that's ceedee Lamb, He's got that
and and and dron Bland And I'm I'm

105
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.519
trying to figure out who else does, uh, Because we're also talking about

106
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.200
the vocal aspect that Michael Irvin brought. Yes, because because CD has that

107
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.960
flash and everything on the field during
his play, but I think off the

108
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.840
field, he's actually pretty quiet.
Yeah, but then again, know one

109
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.600
is as loud as Michael Irvins.
Maybe it's a difficult Well, I think

110
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:13.679
the Cowboys defense is as good as
anyone in the NFL. And I think

111
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.279
what happens is when you meet another
team that has and and a defense equal

112
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.559
to them, then it goes to
the offense and then I and that's still

113
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.639
where my question lies is can we
put points on the board because we still

114
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.720
have a tendency to stall out in
the red zone? Mm hmm, I

115
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.720
mean and again, yeah, we
scored a bunch against crappy teams, but

116
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.039
against the good ones and then it
goes all of a sudden, goes back

117
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:41.799
and Dak is putting up great numbers. But yo, can he bring that

118
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:48.720
that intangible to that the great quarterbacks
have to get your team to the win?

119
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.960
Yeah he can. He sling them
on his Cowboys pat poose and carry

120
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.840
them you know where where all of
us want them to go? Yeah,

121
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.759
I think you just said it right
there, Dan. I think they all

122
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.440
have to want to go to the
same place. They have to all,

123
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.360
as a combined effort, want to
go to and I think everybody does.

124
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.639
I think everybody's dream when they're in
the NFL is like, oh, I

125
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.679
want to go to a super Bowl? But do you want like how bad

126
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.679
is how bad is your want?
Right, It's one of those things like

127
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.080
I can. I can sit there
and dream about it, but at the

128
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.279
end of the day, for me, it's just a fantasy because I don't

129
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.879
have any Raj does. I don't
have any actual control over the play of

130
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:35.000
the team. So yes, they
they have to decide for themselves, Like

131
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.360
you're right. They can wake up
in the morning and be like, no,

132
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.960
you know what, I super Bowl
would be nice, but then you

133
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.159
still got to go to practice and
work for it, as opposed to just

134
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.679
thinking, oh, that'd be nice. And I do think there are enough

135
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.399
guys on the team that they can
do that, especially when you throw in

136
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.120
a Mica Parson's level talent. Yes, and I think as the NFL has

137
00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:00.480
lip readers and I'm sure the Cowboys
do as well, they need me on

138
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.679
the sideline as well for every game. And I will do that free of

139
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:11.120
charge and every game to uh wish
ill to the other the other team's players

140
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:18.320
and make the magic that I do
happen in that moment. I appreciate your

141
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.759
volunteerism, Raj, and I think
it's very very big of you, very

142
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.639
magneticous. If I can throw out
I prefer a syllable word there, but

143
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.879
don't sell yourself short. I learned
some important life advice from Heath Ledger's Joker

144
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.519
and The Dark Knight Rises, and
that is, if you're good at something,

145
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.480
you should never do it for free, so you know, they don't

146
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.919
necessarily have to pay you your normal
fee for say, doing an hour of

147
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.240
stand up, but at least get
you a bar tab. Yeah. I

148
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.120
was gonna say parking, because I
don't know if you've been. Oh yeah,

149
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.919
I mean you get you get free
parking and a bar tab. Yeah,

150
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.639
yeah, I mean I think a
thousand dollars. Yeah, if I

151
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.200
in an extra one hundred bucks,
I might get a hot dog, might

152
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.600
drunk garage on the sideline. All
of a sudden, the refs are snapping

153
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:22.320
their A c ls. He's the
worst X men of them all. Likes

154
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:31.039
he goes mascot and they're dropping like
flies. Yeah, I gotta do that,

155
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:39.480
and I'd gladly do all of that
for free. Roger Goodell sends sends

156
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.519
a text to somebody saying, someone, get that man a hot dog.

157
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:50.879
It's going to be the end of
us all with a drunken Benny Hen of

158
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.519
the NFL who are waving my hand
around in the stadium starts, people in

159
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.840
the stands start collapsing. I think
I think that makes you the opposite of

160
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.159
Benny was trying to heal people,
and you're just out there, you know,

161
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:16.679
incapacitating them. He's gonna No,
it just sounds like bubble wrap popping

162
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:24.039
all over the field. That'd be
a hell of a highlight package on Sports

163
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.159
Center. Is there a sniper in
the stadium, No, it's it's that

164
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.200
Raj guy with every surgeon in North
Texas is like, keep feeding him drinks.

165
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:41.879
They all just start circling the stadium. They fly over with the helicopter

166
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.080
and start dropping business cards. Yeah
see now that's that's actual entertainment, is

167
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.519
what I'm saying. That is what
fans would want to see. It's just

168
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:58.240
mayhem, just just drunken, just
killing people. Meanwhile, they cut the

169
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.759
Dak's face and he's looking around like, oh my god, wow, that

170
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.519
mesmerized look that he has all the
time. Yeah, the one there,

171
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.240
he looks lost, like he just
got punched in his mouth. Unfortunately,

172
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:20.720
how he sometimes looks against the Eagles. I think we can. I think

173
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.440
we can do this, Raj,
even if we have to sneak you in

174
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.440
somehow. I'm I'm I'm willing to. Maybe we can put together we'll talk

175
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.480
about it, maybe at the live
show. Maybe we can put a fund

176
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:39.080
together, get me close enough to
the opposing team. Uh, and I'll

177
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.240
have a jamison to see how just
to feel it out. If it's not

178
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.159
working, maybe the power is not
working. Maybe a second one and uh,

179
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.000
oh, you're gonna need at least
two. Yeah. And then and

180
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.519
keep in mind, we could probably
get you on the field to carry out

181
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.320
this entire mission because NFL security doesn't
seem to be up to speed with who

182
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.080
everybody is. Did you guys see
what did you guys see the security guard

183
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.039
almost stop Matt Lafleur from the Packers
on the field because he didn't recognize him

184
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.000
as the head coach. Wow,
I did not see that. That's wild.

185
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.679
And then one of the very few
times where I was okay with someone

186
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.919
saying, do you know who I
am? Yeah? That's oh yeah,

187
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.840
that's uh, that's I don't know
how that happened. Maybe he's new,

188
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.320
maybe new security guy. I don't
know, but I am saying, like,

189
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.799
we get if we can get me
close and then just give me a

190
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:35.120
list of who needs to be taken
out and UH and be based on based

191
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:41.919
on the officiating during Eagles games.
Let's start with the officials number one on

192
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:50.559
my hit list. You're in the
visit us online a Treehouse on air dot

193
00:15:50.559 --> 00:16:07.639
com. You're in the Treehouse.
Visit us online, a Treehouse on air

194
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:17.120
dot com. We are back to
the Treehouse Football Podcast. I think we've

195
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:25.600
pretty sufficiently broken down the Commander's Cowboys
game on Thanksgiving. Speaking of of of

196
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:30.200
kind of the home cooked officiating.
Did you all see the Bills Eagles game?

197
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.159
Yes, Oh my god, that
was I did not see the whole

198
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.000
game, but I saw high I
saw the highlights, and I saw numerous

199
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.879
clips of the extremely poor officiating.
If if I can be so bold as

200
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:48.039
to be so inflammatory, is to
say poor officiating and almost dangerous because there

201
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.440
was one point where there was a
horse I mean blatant horse caller on Josh

202
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:56.720
Allen. They it was a blatant
horse caller, but then they called Josh

203
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:02.559
Allen for intentional grounding when it's like
the centrifical force of him getting whipped around

204
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:07.119
by the horse collar drives his arm
and the ball into the ground. And

205
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.119
they're like, oh, you know, yeah, that's on you, Josh.

206
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:15.039
That to me seems like the NFL
officiating equivalent of throwing a personal foul

207
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:26.400
flag for hitting yourself personal foul fifteen
yards number seventeen on the offense. He

208
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.359
he was hitting himself and we just
can't stand for it. So we're going

209
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.640
to benefit the Eagles here. I
mean, the last time I saw that

210
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:42.559
poor, poorly officiated game was and
remember the Titans, you mean the Klan

211
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:48.440
game. I mean, and I'm
not really wanting to blame, you know,

212
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.519
to say, you know, we
can all complain about officials, but

213
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.000
you know, do they really I
guess, unless you're Chris Paul, do

214
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:59.440
they really affect the outcome of the
game? But no, But I mean

215
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.000
there was a there was a there
was a part where they played it back

216
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.279
in some ocean because even the booth
couldn't understand how that wasn't a horse collar.

217
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.640
Yeah, you can see the ref
looking directly at what is happening and

218
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:15.079
it's not getting called and uh,
you were talking about intentional uh or hurting

219
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.519
yourself and getting penalized. Didn't they
kind of do that to Plexico Burst when

220
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.839
he when he shot himself. Did
they kind of go, hey, man,

221
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.640
you hurt yourself where you're suspended.
I don't believe they suspended him for

222
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.400
shooting himself in his own leg,
in my insulting his eyes, like how

223
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.960
are you? I shot at him? Because you did that to you.

224
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:41.680
Because you did that to you,
you're out. I mean even the police,

225
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.559
you know, if if if you're
in a one car accident you're drunk,

226
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.400
they usually just leave it alone because
you've suffered enough. No, not

227
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:55.640
the NFL. You're gonna get there
that you're gonna get suspended. Yeah,

228
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.920
yeah, that's amazing. It's like, really sorry, you're feeling better?

229
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.119
Yeah, okay, doctor says not
life threatening. Yeah, so suspend it

230
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.400
without pain. That's what that's what
you are. That's actually why it's a

231
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:11.839
natural progression for us to discuss football, especially the NFL, because on the

232
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.799
Regular Treehouse podcast, we deal with
stupid all the time. We've done it

233
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:21.799
in our careers for its entirety,
So it's very natural to carry that over

234
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:26.079
into talking about the NFL because about
the only thing dumber than us is the

235
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.359
NFL. Yes, and I just
don't know, here's my thing. And

236
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.720
again it goes back to like I
have a questions as the NFL when they

237
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.680
when they're watching that because everything's in
everything's live streaming in New York, so

238
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.119
they're seeing at the same time,
how nobody there is going we need to

239
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.880
we need to call, We need
to call and and and replay this and

240
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.160
show this to whoever that ref is
that's staring at Josh Allen getting murdered,

241
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.160
because what if he would have gotten
injured? How do you live with yourself

242
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.359
with that? How do you walk
away from that game going? I refed

243
00:19:55.400 --> 00:20:00.839
the best I could. That always
probably you probably on the flight home,

244
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.799
you probably give yourself a stern talking
to in the in the airplane bathroom.

245
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.960
But then at the same time,
when you leave the airplane bathroom, you're

246
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.960
surrounded by the entire Eagles team who've
paid for your trip, along with all

247
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:21.359
the food and the drinks and the
women or the men whatever, and we're

248
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:26.559
both at the same time whatever,
So they make you feel better about it.

249
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.960
That's that's my assumption, but it
really does. The one of the

250
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:37.000
greatest I like seeing online growth hacks
or ways to make your life simpler,

251
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:40.319
you know, videos online like I
watched one the other day how to fold

252
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.759
clothes, not the way I do
it, but like the really cool smart

253
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:48.920
way where you get wrinkles and stuff
like. That's brilliant. And the Eagles

254
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:53.119
have found something similar, and that
is their defensive backs have figured out how

255
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:57.799
to tackle the wide receivers before they
catch the ball and not get called for

256
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:03.400
it because it happened that. It
happened in that Bills game. They did

257
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.599
it on the goal line with Shoemaker
against the Cowboys, being tackled before the

258
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.400
ball is even there no penalty.
Yeah, I was going to bring up

259
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:17.000
that pass interference that was I think
the third quarter, and it was so

260
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:21.319
blatant. Even the like it's sometimes
the booth will give them a pass like,

261
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:22.160
oh, well, you know the
ref didn't see that he was kind

262
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.640
of pushing and he was you know, his arm was tangled in his arm

263
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:29.440
and what they were, yeah,
they're like that was. I don't know

264
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.240
how they're not calling this. And
when you have the booth saying that,

265
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:34.960
people the commentary, the color commentary
go, I can't believe this is happening.

266
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.920
I don't know how New York doesn't
go, we need we need to

267
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.759
stop and see what's going on.
We need to talk to these refs and

268
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:44.720
go, hey, how are you
missing this? And show them It's like

269
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.200
a teacher in school, like here's
what you did wrong. Now go back

270
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.440
to your desk and don't do that
anymore. Right, And because we're all

271
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:59.039
from the from the age of being
paddled in school, I want you to

272
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.400
give him the talking to at midfield, then pull his pants down and bring

273
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:14.880
out the coaches paddle or belt or
belt Yeah Tray's ads weapon of choice belt,

274
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.279
the official ass whopper of the NFL. Yeah, you know, we'll

275
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:33.599
get Roger Goodell made is ref.
He's on the jumbo tron just holding it

276
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.160
all right. So I don't want
to do what I don't want the Cowboys

277
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.599
to do, and that is to
look past the Seahawks game to the Eagles

278
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.480
rematch, which is obviously very easy
to do because the Cowboys are on a

279
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:52.079
roll. They have. They've won
every game that they've played since losing to

280
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.920
the Eagles. They're on a roll
offensively, they're scoring points left and right,

281
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:02.079
and now they get the Seahawks tonight, and just a couple of weeks

282
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:03.960
ago, I believe they had the
same record as the Seahawks and the Seahawks

283
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.960
have struggled a little bit the last
couple of weeks. So again, I

284
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.920
don't want us to look past the
Seahawks, and I certainly don't want the

285
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:15.279
Cowboys to. Yeah. I again
it goes back to are are we going

286
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.680
to come in with that attitude of
bulling a weaker team, or are we

287
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.680
coming in going we need to get
past them to the Eagles, Right,

288
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.960
That's that's all, you knows,
as efficiently as possible. And then also

289
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:30.200
find out how much gum Pete Carroll
can choose. That is. That is

290
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:36.160
a frightening thing to see that guy
choose more gum Pete Carroll, Dave girl

291
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.279
Pete Carroll. I'm pretty sure he
could like snap, I'm like, like

292
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.960
snap a tree with his jaw like
that's like in the off season, he

293
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:53.559
just lives with beavers in the Pacific
Northwest. I could actually see that,

294
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:57.599
that's yeah, And I can actually
see the beavers with him, going,

295
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:03.000
that's really impressive. But he with
those that's we adapted over thousands of years,

296
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.799
that's just chewing gum. That's amazing. H Yeah. I hope they

297
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:12.400
come in with a precision of this
is the game plan from here on?

298
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:17.319
Out as we play like we played
the last time every time, and that's

299
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:19.759
it's not bullying anybody. It's not
we think you're weaker. It's just you're

300
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:23.640
in our you're in our way,
yes, snetting to where we want to

301
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.839
go and we and we're offended that
you're standing in our way. It's not

302
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:30.799
to be totally, not to trivialize
it, but I think there is some

303
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:34.480
you know, truth to the motivational
aspect of this. Like at Notre Dame,

304
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:37.640
when the players come out of the
tunnel, they've got that sign over

305
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.319
the head that they all touch.
Play like a champion today, right,

306
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.319
making sure that's the right one.
That's the mentality that they need to have

307
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.440
every single game, every single practice. And I hope that that's what's being

308
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:55.599
drilled into their heads. Yeah,
I would hope. So it's a cliche,

309
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:57.799
just just take care of business.
I mean, that's you know,

310
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:00.279
go out there. It doesn't have
I I don't have to be sexy,

311
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:06.720
it doesn't have to be just just
start out, keep the ball, score

312
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:11.119
points and and just just win the
cruise, yeah, to a win and

313
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:17.279
don't get anyone hurt and get to
the next week. I just love Tray's

314
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:22.880
methodology of the NFL is like old
It's like Varsity Blues. Uh. Well,

315
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.880
I can't remember his name is the
coach's name in that movie, but

316
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:29.799
he's like John boy Yeah, well
John Boyd, but I can't coach.

317
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.079
Whatever his name was, I'll kill
you. I think that's what it was.

318
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:34.200
But he's like just grinding the ball. If we grind the ball,

319
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:40.200
we control the pace. So every
time I seen start talking about it,

320
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:41.960
just it doesn't have to be sexy. All I see is John Boyd,

321
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:52.680
like three yards and a cloud of
dust, speaking of taking care of business

322
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.039
and things that are sexy. I
think it's uh. I think it would

323
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:04.599
be important for us to point out
and to acknowledge the wondrous news that happened

324
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:10.799
in the Dak Prescott household because he
took care of business or depending, if

325
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:14.799
you're as cynical as I am,
his girlfriend took care of his business and

326
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.759
Dak's going to be a daddy he. I think she posted it on Instagram,

327
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.680
something about blessed and she's half naked
with a you know, with the

328
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:27.440
baby bump and everything, and then
he comments or posts it, reposts it

329
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:33.200
saying dad girl incoming so yay,
yay, yay Dak. I mean,

330
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:38.839
yeah, that's great, congrats.
I mean I love how private he has

331
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:45.640
managed to keep his his social life
and all the things that come with that.

332
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:49.640
Most people don't get. Most people
get scrutinized, even by their own

333
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:55.000
hometown, of what's going on.
He posted the a couple of days before

334
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.680
that. They were at the Star
or he celebrated her birthday and they took

335
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:00.440
a picture and I guess it was
done on purpose to where you couldn't see,

336
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:03.599
uh, I guess, past their
neck and it was like you can

337
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.839
just see the candle blowing on a
cake, and it was like, you

338
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:08.960
know, happy birthday or whatever it
was. And then three days later I

339
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.720
was like, well that that was. That was fast. And this is

340
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:17.519
still this is on the newer side
of a relationship because I still remember the

341
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.240
previous girl that that that he was
with. But again, you're right,

342
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:26.119
he he's he's kept those all pretty
quiet. He's sort of in between Akman

343
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:32.039
and Romo as far as Cowboys quarterbacks
personal lives because Aakman really had very little

344
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:36.640
yeah discussed, and because of that, we now have Skip Bayliss on National

345
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:40.200
TV saying even dumber, like completely
ridiculous things, because he said, well,

346
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:42.039
if Troy's done out, there's screwing
people. He's gay. And then

347
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.599
then you have the opposite, which
is Romo is like, I'm the quarterback

348
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:51.160
of the Cowboys. I'm screwing everybody. I want all the scarlets, all

349
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:56.240
the blonde singers, line them up. Uh didn't. Didn't Troy data country

350
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.680
singer too at one point Laurie Morgan. Yeah, that's they were. They

351
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:03.880
were supposedly linked for a while,
but you know that that was that was

352
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.599
all you heard about as far as
Apman because when aateman blade he was married

353
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:14.039
to football. Yeah, his girlfriend
was Michael Irvin. See, now you're

354
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:18.680
just spreading rumors, you know what, It doesn't have to be true.

355
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:21.480
And then I can say dumb stuff
like skip Bay listen, I'll be a

356
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:26.799
millionaire on TV. Do we know
that it is the due date for dak

357
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:33.480
at after a football season. I'm
going to assume yes, okay, because

358
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.319
I know we're supposed to be PC
and twenty first century and all that kind

359
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.920
of stuff, But you don't get
paternity leave at you know, during the

360
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:47.720
playoffs. Yeah, but I think
that wouldn't that be a bit. No,

361
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:51.920
it's not the word I was expecting
her of your mouth, but it's

362
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:57.160
a worth just you know, make
sure there's no distractions. Just just in

363
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:03.359
the off we get to February.
Let's make sure that you know Dak's focused

364
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:07.880
on football. Yeah, if if
you if you want to, if you

365
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.279
want to go full Dad Mo during
O T A S, please do it.

366
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:14.720
Go for it. I don't even
mind if you do it during part

367
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:18.079
of training camp. But when the
season starts, you play. I love

368
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.960
you guys. Practice needs a practice
change and a dip bring and work on

369
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:32.480
Jerry. God damn. That's why
Ra is never going to be invited to

370
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:41.319
If we can get a Johnny Walker
Blue sponsorship, then he would be.

371
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.480
I don't like Scott. I'll take
Jamison and I'll snap some bitches legs.

372
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:53.880
Let's do it. Cowboys Seahawks tonight. And in case you're listening at another

373
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:57.960
time and I hope it was a
win. They'll be sure to join us
