00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:15.880
Welcome inside the Treehouse Football Podcast.
I'm gan O Malley along with Trey Trentholm

2
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:21.600
and Raj Sharma. Where today,
in this episode, we will try to

3
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:26.679
answer the question, if the Cowboys
don't bother to show up in Buffalo to

4
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:32.759
play a game, are we really
required to talk about it? Seeing as

5
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:36.920
how I witnessed most of that game
last night, I have many thoughts,

6
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.359
and so I feel like maybe we
should discuss at least some of the ineptitude.

7
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:48.359
But I don't know, how do
you guys feel? Is there no

8
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.479
is there no conspiracy theory out there
that you know? Maybe because it's New

9
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.920
York and it's the Mob and that
the Cowboys they came out there and they

10
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.479
warmed up and you know, it
was Dak and everyone and they felt good.

11
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:03.439
And then then they all got,
you know, hurried away to us

12
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.079
scores and have a night at the
strip clubs. And they put a bunch

13
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:11.040
of scabs out there, and and
that's what happened. You No, here's

14
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:12.920
how here's how it works. But
I told you Vegas runs everything in the

15
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.200
Mob runs Vegas, right, So
it showed up and there were you know,

16
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.480
the video the dancing, you know, on there on there. You

17
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.799
know the if you guys U we're
talking about it. If you watch their

18
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.159
social media them dancing around and having
a good time and what they're wearing on

19
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.079
the plane, and then they're in
the locker room and then you know,

20
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.359
Vinnie the Chin comes in and it's
like, hey, I need you guys

21
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:38.000
tank this by about twenty points because
this is what we got. This is

22
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.799
how much money we got. And
it's there a little brief a couple of

23
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.120
brief briefcases came in and they're like, hey, these are for you guys.

24
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:48.040
You don't say nothing. You'll still
go to the playoffs. This will

25
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.280
be an embarrassment, but here's this
money will will will ease the pain.

26
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.840
So if that's the conspiracy theory that
that, I mean, if that's the

27
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.239
only thing I could think of.
Or they were all extremely I think they

28
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.599
might've just had out all on the
plane and they were all just extremely hungover.

29
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.599
It was there was they were still
they were still drunk. If they

30
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.199
if if we're going to go that
route, they were still drunk. There

31
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:16.479
was there was one story going around
about how uh supposedly there was a stomach

32
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:21.960
bug making its way around the team
and that maybe up to ten players were

33
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.199
dealing with it, which is something
my wife brought up last week watching the

34
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.879
game when they said Micah Parsons was
deal was dealing with flu like symptoms,

35
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.280
and She's like, and there he
is on the sideline next to everybody breathing

36
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.759
on them. Uh. And then
this week a possible you know, sickness

37
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:42.919
outbreak. It's called tequila. Tequila
can also bring about flu like symptoms.

38
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:50.319
There was some other unsubstantiated rumor that
a number of the players were at the

39
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:54.439
team hotel the night before and ordered
a pizza and uh, somehow it was

40
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.960
tainted or there is this other part
wait, wait, wait, wait,

41
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.080
what is this the Michael where we've
now we now the you know the bulls

42
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:07.240
and and now yeah, this is
the Michael Jackson or the Michael Jordan' flu

43
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.960
game was actually he was food poisoning. Well, you know, Michael Jordan

44
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.919
actually triumphed in his flu game,
right, Yes, the Cowboys foundered.

45
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:22.360
And there is one other theory although
it is a bit outland dish, but

46
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.280
it's the one I believe I'm going
to subscribe to about the Cowboys lost to

47
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.919
the Bills, and that is aliens. Okay, and aliens came down much

48
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:38.360
like the Scrolls in the Marvel movies
and shows, where they physically they visually

49
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:45.199
appear to be the person that they
have replicated. But there's still ill coordinated

50
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.919
aliens that don't know a damn thing
about playing American football. So that's my

51
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:54.439
theory. I have decided to subscribe
to Marvel. Scrolls took over the Cowboys

52
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:01.199
and took the field for whatever reason, and and really just dropped a big

53
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.560
old alien turn in the middle of
upstate New York. Yeah. I mean,

54
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:10.240
I'm glad you said that you watched
all of it. I don't believe.

55
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.360
I think I fell asleep at one
point. It was just that bad.

56
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.279
I fell asleep watching it. I
could not watch all of it.

57
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:21.800
I made it through most, okay, And I believe I made it through

58
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.199
at least a portion of the fourth
quarter, which is more than can be

59
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.279
said for the Cowboys players, because
I think they were back on the plane

60
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.879
somewhere halfway through the second. Yeah, the first quarter, I made it.

61
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.079
I don't think I got all the
way through the second. And I

62
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:43.680
woke up in like middle of the
third quarter going into the fourth, and

63
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.639
I just couldn't. I was,
I was done. I had more enthusiasm

64
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:55.519
in my sleep than those players had
at the actual game. It was I've

65
00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.000
never I don't even I'm guessing stomach
bug. It has to be something,

66
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.160
because it had to be a collective. Hey, we're going to not play

67
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.639
today. Everybody good with that?
Everybody good with with not playing today.

68
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.040
After that first series, it was
a wrap. I don't know if you

69
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.879
just like I think Troy some textbus
like there's no fire, there's no sense

70
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.879
of urgency, there's nothing. And
I think that was after the first series.

71
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:20.920
I was like, they're they're done. This is going to be it.

72
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:28.360
And then the the I think right
after that personal foul penalty when they

73
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.240
got the fifteen yards or whatever the
thing it was fourth down and they ended

74
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.439
up being roughing the kicker or something
like that in the first half. That

75
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.639
did not help things. Yeah,
And right when that happened, I was

76
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.800
like, this is that's it,
this is we can go to sleep now.

77
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.240
Does anybody wouldn't change the channel?
What else is wrong? It is

78
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.000
terrible And if if the game had
been even close last night, then I

79
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:55.240
would start to bag on that that
It was really a poorly officiated game.

80
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.800
But that you're right. The Cowboys, you know, in the big moments,

81
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.360
just shot themselves in the foot.
It was it was easy for them

82
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.920
to call. Yeah, it really
was. And and the other thing that

83
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.800
that drove me nuts about that is
all of it. That's what is all

84
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.079
of it, And that's what's so
frustrating about it is is right about the

85
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.360
point where, and I said this
on the last football episode, right about

86
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.000
the point where you think they may
have turned a corner and that they might

87
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:25.720
actually be turning into a championship caliber
team, they they pull one of these.

88
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.000
Yeah. I think it was when
the targeting to Dak was was not

89
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.800
going to be called, and then
the sideline kind of erupted. Right then.

90
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:40.000
I was like, that's and I
prior to that hit, there were

91
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.600
there was a hold that was just
flagrant that wasn't called, and I was

92
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.000
like this and then that, and
then that happened. I was like,

93
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.079
Okay, so the officiatings on on
the bill side. I get it.

94
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.279
It's a home field, it's a
home team thing, whatever. But I

95
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.160
thought that the play where Micah Parsons
got hurt, I thought that was really

96
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.360
questionable. But you know, was
that guy really going for his knees or

97
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.519
what it was going on? Yeah, I mean there was a lot of

98
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.160
things that weren't getting called, and
there was you know, I mean,

99
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.399
but again, at the end of
the day, you can you can the

100
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.839
slame thing to do is blame the
refs on that, right, like coming

101
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.959
in there to be like, who's
their fault? No, I mean these

102
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:23.839
guys literally are professional athletes that get
paid millions of dollars and they showed up

103
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:28.920
with zero enthusiasm. I don't know, it looked like they started their Christmas

104
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:33.639
vacation early. Yeah, they did
at scores and then they just didn't sound

105
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:38.040
you know, I mean we can
go with that. They were just hungover

106
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.120
and out there. But yeah,
I think the reason they didn't call that

107
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.000
out on the Micah Parsons where you
know, took out his knees because it

108
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.920
really wasn't Micah. It was some
you know, some scrab scab that they

109
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:53.199
pulled in off the street and they
don't care he's disposable. Yeah, it's

110
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:58.639
the replacements with their jerseys. Yes, So at the end of the day,

111
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:03.439
I think it is I think I
think we're all agreement here that at

112
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:09.639
least for let me backtrack momentarily,
I was not shocked that they lost because

113
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.959
this game worried me. It worried
me on the schedule when it was first

114
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:18.519
released, well before the season ever
started, because going to Buffalo is already

115
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.319
hard, especially when Buffalo's good.
Buffalo has had kind of an up and

116
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.480
down, rocky season, but like
a true playoff contender or championship contending team,

117
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.159
they're getting good and putting it together
when they need to. And so

118
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.200
I wasn't shocked that they lost the
game. I was just shocked at the

119
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.120
lack of intensity, fire, enthusiasm, whatever it is, certain sense of

120
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.120
urgency. That was the part that
shocked me. And I'm curious, was

121
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.639
there any other takeaway for you guys
that shocked you in this game? No?

122
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.279
I think you hit it like there
was nothing. There was nothing there,

123
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.240
There was no sense of urgency,
there was no money had. At

124
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.559
one point, I was I just
put the second team in and see what

125
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.120
they because they're trying, they're they're
they're trying to make their name. Put

126
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.600
them in, see what they do
at this point, because you guys don't

127
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.080
do it anything. So put the
other guys in and let's see what they

128
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:16.440
do. My biggest the offense is
what really grabbed my attention, and I

129
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.200
hope it was okay. They just
it was just everything was off because the

130
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.840
other option is is that Buffalo figured
out something to do to our offense that

131
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:30.399
rendered them completely inept. I mean, what was it the third quarter?

132
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.440
By the time we got over one
hundred yards. I believe it was the

133
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.879
third quarter. And I think the
biggest shocking thing for me from this game

134
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.440
was the fact that the Cowboys even
managed to score a touchdown. The fact

135
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.360
that they got ten points. I
was actually shocked by by the end of

136
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.600
it. Yeah, I think I
think the Trey has a point. I

137
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.960
think at one point on the sideline, maybe somebody said, uh uh,

138
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.000
next, we're going to score,
and they heard next, we're going to

139
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:07.480
scores, and instead of them translating
that into six points, they all left.

140
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.480
And by the time the Cowboys realized
what it like, what did you

141
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.879
say, Like I said, we're
going to score, and then the stadium

142
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.799
was too loud and they heard we're
going to scores, and so they just

143
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.000
left. And that was just a
mess up on whoever was trying to hype

144
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.799
up the team because outside of that, I mean, I don't know if

145
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.080
that yeah again, it's like unless
there was a briefcase of money right before

146
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.279
they walked out, it was like, here's this to just tank this.

147
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.039
It also didn't help that when that
whole scores thing was mentioned that Mike McCarthy's

148
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.240
sitting behind the wheel of the bus
saying, go hight, everybody, let's

149
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:48.320
go a buffet in is at noon
midnight. I didn't come all the way

150
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:54.519
to Buffalo to not get some eggs. At least then that would be somewhat

151
00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:00.000
of an excuse there, or at
least a reason or some sort of nonsense

152
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.679
besides the actual nonsense that was on
display in that game. It really was.

153
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.440
I mean, I'm trying not to
put a whole too much stock in

154
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.000
it, because look, this happens. It's the NFL. You play a

155
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.279
good team, sometimes they're just gonna
get you. Even the Chiefs have have

156
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.840
more losses right now than the Cowboys
do. The Bills, as good as

157
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:24.519
they look on Sunday, have more
losses than the Cowboys do. So you

158
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.399
try to, you know, balance
it out as a fan from saying,

159
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.519
same old Cowboys, here we go
again, beat up on bad teams get

160
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:39.279
the crack kick kicked out of them
by good teams with you know, well

161
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:45.480
it happens, and maybe come playoff
time they'll be better. Well then with

162
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.399
that in mind, then what do
you do? How do you come out

163
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:54.679
of this game going into Miami who? That team is on fire? So

164
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.200
how do you if you can't do
that with But that's the if. That's

165
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.320
the thing, like, because what
the stat seven to zero at home,

166
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.000
three and three on the road,
three and four on the road now and

167
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.720
so now you're walking into Miami,
who they're great? Maybe is it a

168
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.919
what my dad used to say,
this weird thing. He's like, you

169
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.120
know, they're not used to playing
in the cold. I'm like, could

170
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.120
that be it? Like maybe it's
like this is too cold here? It

171
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:24.320
was It wasn't even it wasn't even
Buffalo cold, like like Buffalo is walking

172
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.000
around, you know, in Hawaiian
shirts and hula skirts before the game.

173
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.120
Man, this is ball me.
Yeah, that was my dad's like anytime

174
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.600
the Cowboys lost on the road,
my dad would find some weather related thing

175
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.679
to it, like, you know, they don't like it when it's I'm

176
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:43.200
like to Sonny, we're in Dallas, that is a problem in the new

177
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.519
stadium because they didn't point at north
and south. So those afternoon games,

178
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.720
Jerry World can get a little uh
and get a little dicey when you're staring

179
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.159
back into the sad sun in the
west end zone. I think we learned

180
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.200
that in the playoff game last year. You should probably close that. And

181
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.679
I'm like, no, we're we
lost that. Uh but yeah, so

182
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.600
that's what like. I'll look at
the weather, I'm like, is it

183
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.600
is it rain? And then it
started raining. I'm like, well,

184
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.679
this is a wrap. They're not
gonna be able to the thing is though,

185
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.440
there's all these excuses that were lined
up that were lined up on the

186
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:22.240
road Buffalo team playing for its playoff
lives. Uh, it's cold ish,

187
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.600
it's outside, it started to rain. The REVS calls were a little questionable.

188
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.879
None of those things could be legitimate
factors in the game because they were

189
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.759
so terrible from the start. Yeah. I said, right after that targeting

190
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.120
call when it would have been you
know, fifteen yards to our advantage,

191
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.200
but then it was an offsetting penalty
because the sideline erupted, I was like,

192
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.159
you know what this is. They
just they just don't look they just

193
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.279
don't look. After that series,
I was like, they don't look,

194
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:54.720
that's done. And I tried to
stay awake, but I mean by the

195
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.279
beginning middle of maybe middle of the
second quarter, I think I was out.

196
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.639
I was already to sleep. This
was so it was little, so

197
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.240
terrible. And uh, who's that? Uh the Cook? Is that there

198
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:09.360
running back? Yes? James,
Yeah, yeah, James Cook. That

199
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.600
man had the game of his career. Like that was the irony? Is

200
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:20.600
is he actually probably scored it scores
after the game, scoring everywhere else he

201
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:31.759
scored on the way to the scores. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit

204
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.240
Treehouse Football Podcast, And uh,
trying to see as best as we can

205
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.399
to put that Buffalo game in our
rear view mirrors very very very far behind

206
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.600
us as much as humanly possible,
while still hope, hopefully learning something from

207
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.200
the game to apply moving forward.
But speaking of forward, is you go

208
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:18.919
from a difficult road game in Buffalo
to a difficult road game in Miami with

209
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:28.120
another one of the top AFC teams
and they didn't look good last week.

210
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:30.879
You don't know if they're going to
be good, you know, in Miami.

211
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:35.159
But the good news is at least
it's warmer in Miami. Yeah,

212
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:43.039
I mean it is Miami that's come
with. If they got had distractions in

213
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:48.279
Buffalo, then South Beach is going
to create a whole other set of issues.

214
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.720
Yeah, I mean, I didn't
even think about that. You're right.

215
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.919
Do you think if you were a
part of the Miami PR team,

216
00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:00.200
you would go out of your way
sort of like an over zealous airbn be

217
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:06.399
host and put suggested things to do
inside the binder pamphlets in the players hotel

218
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.159
rooms, saying like, oh things
to do and see, you know while

219
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:15.519
while you're here in Miami, such
as a book full of Instagram models on

220
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.440
South Beach just waiting for a good
time. I just think, you know,

221
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:26.360
it's hookers and eight balls in every
room for the Cowboys, you know

222
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.000
what? That right there? That
right there. We have found it the

223
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:34.919
difference between the nineties Dynasty Cowboys.
In every team that has followed the nineties

224
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:41.000
Dynasty Cowboys could mow through drugs and
hookers with no problem and still show up

225
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.039
to win the game the next day. Not these current teams the next day.

226
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:51.600
These guys are doing that. In
halftime, Jerry was cutting up lines

227
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:55.240
and they're like, you guys look
great out there. Hell, if you

228
00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:00.799
look really close at the bottom of
those dog piles, that's just somebody dropped

229
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:10.680
their bag. That's not a fumble. That's not a party foul. Got

230
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.079
a hooker at an eight ball.
For those nineties Cowboys teams, that would

231
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:17.599
have gotten them for like the first
forty five minutes, and then it'd be

232
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.839
like one of those videos where you
know it was like everyone else has passed

233
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.680
out and strewn about, and then
you know it's like a cloud of smoke

234
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.000
and then just here comes you just
see Michael Irvin and a fur line jacket,

235
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:33.000
just walking through going what's next?
And just a fur line jacket,

236
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:41.559
nothing else, no pads, no
pants. Yeah, if I was,

237
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.359
if I was the Miami PR team, I'd be like things to do while

238
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.279
in Miami and just have a lobby
full of women. Uh, things to

239
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.680
do here? You goudy just come
downstairs. Uh and you got it?

240
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.960
Yeah, I don't know. I
mean, if you're gonna if Buffalo,

241
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.240
I mean, if you got distracted
in Buffalo. Like, first of all,

242
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:10.759
that tells me, you can get
distracted in Columbus, Ohio or Missouri.

243
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:18.440
Sure, that's what that tells me, Like Miami will If Buffalo distracted

244
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.680
you, Miami will kill you.
Like that's that's how that will work.

245
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.880
Half this team is not coming back
if that's what the distractions are. But

246
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.480
I mean, on a serious note, like Miami looks really good and you're

247
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.680
dealing with. To me, Miami
is one of those they're they're like the

248
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:38.000
Cowboys when they're really good, My
god, watch out. They might throw

249
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.400
up seventy points. On the other
hand, just last week they lost at

250
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:48.160
home to Tennessee. So yeah.
But I mean, I think the consistent

251
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.759
thing with Miami is Tyreek Hill.
Like he week after week, I mean,

252
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:55.839
regardless of the rest of the team, week after week, that guy's

253
00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:00.319
on fire and he's fun to watch. He's explosive. And again I'm going

254
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.319
back to the Buffalo game. Well, you know, the Cowboys led with

255
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.720
explosive plays, that's what they were
saying. They led the NFL with explosive

256
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.880
plays, and then they had zero
in the entire game against Buffalo, and

257
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:18.400
Tyreek Hill usually has at least one
a big play in almost every game.

258
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.519
And so if they if they got
if they if they shut down on a

259
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:26.839
penalty call or on you know whatever
it is that they shut down in Buffalo,

260
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.920
then they're going to shut down when
Tyreek Hill blows past them. Yeah,

261
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.440
any any explosive plays from Buffalo would
have you would have seen brown spots

262
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:42.160
on their pants, see something.
Maybe they didn't want to have any explosive

263
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.640
plays, right, because that's what
it would have been, Like, Hey,

264
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:47.599
we've got to be more explosive out
there, like coach, you don't

265
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:52.480
understand. We can get explosive if
you need, if you need us to.

266
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.799
But this is gonna be like that
again in the replacements with the eggs,

267
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.880
Like this is going to be coach, this is America's Game of the

268
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.119
week on Fox, and we all
don't want to be doing the ass fountain

269
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.240
in the middle of it. Little
did everyone know, but because of that

270
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:15.200
stomach bug flowing through the team,
they were all wearing butt plugs. Or

271
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.279
you want to talk about a conspiracy
because you know, now Dak is you

272
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:21.599
know a big sponsor is that you
know colon guard where you know you crap

273
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:23.559
in a cup and it tests for
colon cancer. So this was one big

274
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:30.240
marketing scheme. Look, you can
ship your pants in Buffalo and find out

275
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:37.440
you've got colon cancer or not.
I'd much prefer that. Just just keep

276
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.039
it at the p s A.
Don't let it cross over into the game.

277
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.400
Also, ass Fountain is probably the
name of a strip club in Miami,

278
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:55.039
so you know there might be one
regardless or at least, you know,

279
00:20:55.400 --> 00:21:07.039
the second dance for some you know, big time performer ladies run a

280
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:15.920
two song rotation. I just hope
they look better in Miami. Look,

281
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.759
I mean at this point, you
know, like they mentioned during the game

282
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:25.079
yesterday, and I saw the news
before the game on Sunday, Cowboys were

283
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.920
able to clinch a playoff spot even
you know, before kickoff against Buffalo.

284
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:34.680
And I want to see some urgency
in this game in Miami because I don't

285
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:38.200
think that they should have needed a
reminder that they can get their ass kicked

286
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:42.440
at any given time on any given
Sunday type of situation, because I would

287
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:48.079
have hoped that that reminder against San
Francisco earlier in the year would have sufficed.

288
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.480
But if they needed one more,
fine, But you better turn it

289
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.200
on starting now. Well, I
mean if if you I mean, if

290
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.599
they got if the news was announced, like like you said, you know,

291
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:02.880
they they've already clinched the playoff spot, and that if that news got

292
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:06.039
into the locker room before the game, don't you think they would go,

293
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:07.559
hey, let's just stay healthy,
like we don't need to win this.

294
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.319
If that's the case, then don't
play. If that's the case, then

295
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.440
they don't have Zach Martin out there
in the first place to actually get hurt

296
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.039
or anybody else for that matter.
You either you either show up and play,

297
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:25.160
because what happens is if you play. You're also talking about, Yeah,

298
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.319
they got that news, but they
also meant they were in the run

299
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:33.119
for the first round by of the
playoffs because with the best record, which

300
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.759
yeah, you would think that might
have given them enough motivation to go,

301
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:38.839
all right, you know what,
we can at least get we can get

302
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.319
a week off in between, you
know, starting the playoffs and get all

303
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:47.920
healthym But but they took the week
off last night, so they started.

304
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.839
They started like dancing, They started
Christmas early. They're like, hey,

305
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.319
we already got a playoff spot.
I'm gonna I'm gonna not I'm not gonna

306
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:57.359
play I'm not gonna do anything.
I'm not gonna exert any energy. I'm

307
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.720
not gonna do anything out you know, I'm not gonna go above and beyond,

308
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.200
which is what your job is.
Is what you got. You get

309
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:06.400
paid millions of dollars for. It's
what you guys will hold out, you

310
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:11.000
know, and sit sit at home
for contract disputes and then you show up

311
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:12.359
and you find out, oh,
we're going to the playoffs regardless of a

312
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.880
winner or not or not. So
let's just, you know, let's just

313
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.079
kind of half ass, not even
half ass, like, let's no ass

314
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.559
this. That's exactly what it was. There was there was no ass at

315
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:29.559
the ass fountain. That sounds like
a disclaimer that should be on the outside

316
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.559
of the club. Listen, no
ass in the ass Fountain. I'm just

317
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:37.240
hoping that that's not the headline next
week, the day after the Miami game,

318
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:48.279
No ass in the as Funtain for
the Cowboys. Yeah yeah, but

319
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.519
you know I think that again,
that could have been it too. I

320
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:55.480
didn't even think about it, but
if they got the news in the locker

321
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:57.200
room before the game, like hey, we already clinched the spot in the

322
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:02.640
in the playoffs. That to me
one of those things that if that mattered

323
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.200
to them, and that's the performance
state put out after hearing it. This

324
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.160
team, this team has no what
did they say in a Major League two

325
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:12.640
Trey with what's his name Takata from
Japan? He opens up his little book

326
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:15.880
and he says, you have no
marbles and he starts doing a hand thing

327
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.480
around his balls. That's the one
thing I kept thinking about watching the watching

328
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.799
the Buffalo game, is that this
team has no balls. And I'm hoping

329
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:30.519
that they find them sometime between now
and kickoff against Miami. I just hope,

330
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:36.079
I hope Raj is right and that
you know, they did find out

331
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:38.680
that they were making the playoffs,
you know, regardless before the kickoff.

332
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:44.400
And then it just became you know, Mike McCarthy's running towards the bus.

333
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.480
Last one, you know, it
was a rotten egg. Let's go to

334
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:56.359
the buffet on the team about legs
and eggs. It's in Buffalo, they

335
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:03.079
don't know any better. But yeah, again, it just, uh if

336
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:06.000
that if that news got to that, I that's one of those things that

337
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:11.599
you keep to yourself, Oh oh
what go trick? Just you know,

338
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.400
a bottle of strip club is probably
drift, some hookers outside of a waffle

339
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:26.160
house, some lot lizards, and
a bucky. I like. I like

340
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:33.319
that they're outside the waffle house.
You gotta standards stand no, no,

341
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:48.640
no, we know what you're kind
in. I would like to just point

342
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:51.319
out that this is part of the
reason why I love doing this show with

343
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:56.119
you guys, is that even after
a really crummy loss and the Cowboys kind

344
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:59.279
of put me in a sour mood, I feel a little bit better.

345
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:07.359
So thank you, we all do. Yeah, it's weird how Cowboys fans

346
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.559
we get heat around because I don't
know how often you travel to different places

347
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:12.720
and hear people bitch about Cowboys fans. One of the main gripes I hear,

348
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:15.640
like, we heard this the other
day in Mississippi. I don't like

349
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:19.079
Cowboys fans because they cheer for every
little good thing their team. Oh my

350
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:22.799
god, how awful for our team
doing well. Yes, we're happy they

351
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.920
gained the yard because we're used to
them losing fifteen, So yeah, we're

352
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:33.319
gonna be happy that they went forward
for a change, But we certainly know

353
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.079
how to not only praise our team
when they do just one tiny thing good,

354
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.480
but you're not gonna find I think
any fan base better at just trouncing

355
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:45.359
on their own own team the way
that we can. Yeah, we we

356
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.880
I'm gonna set this up for you, Trey. You know, we're really

357
00:26:49.880 --> 00:27:02.759
good at taking it on the chin
outside the waffle house when I when I

358
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:03.720
thought of it, I was like, I'm just say it anyway. But

359
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:10.759
it is some kind of back screaming
smothered and covered, smothered than cover.

360
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:14.799
And he wasn't talking about that.
He's talking about the hooker and Lot three
