Football #19-Cowboys Did It Again

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:30.359
Welcome inside the Treehouse Football Podcast.
And when I say welcome, I mean

2
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.439
you the Treehouse listener are welcome.
I Daniel Maley, Trey Trendholm, Raj

3
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:42.359
Sharma, We are all welcome.
If you are a player or a coach

4
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.640
with the Dallas Cowboys, you were
not welcome this week. Actually, I

5
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.560
take it back. I would love
to have any number of you in the

6
00:00:51.600 --> 00:01:00.479
Treehouse to explain yourselves for what has
to be the worst loss in recent Cowboys

7
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:08.159
memory. And I have racked my
brain. I've even done some googling because

8
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:15.159
my brain doesn't work well enough on
its own, and I have not found

9
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:22.200
a game where the Cowboys got bounced
early, earlier than they quote unquote should

10
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.840
have been that makes me feel worse
than this one does. Now, I

11
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:33.680
understand recency bias. Yes this game
just happened. Yes it's sometime later,

12
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.519
but I'm still pissed. And this
game is the most recent example of them

13
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:45.280
just bumble fucking their way through the
postseason. But I really tried to look

14
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.760
at it from an objectionable standpoint,
and I cannot find a recent playoff loss

15
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:56.799
that feels as bad as this one
does. How do you feel the only

16
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.920
loss in recent memory that I can
think of. In yeah, I think

17
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.959
I said this to you in the
text of the Last game, the Last

18
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.080
Yeah, the last game at Texas
Stadium, when Baltimore whipped their ass like

19
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:13.719
it was like fifty four to six
or some something ridiculous. That's the only

20
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:21.599
other time in recent memory that I
mean the NFC Championship loss in ninety five

21
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:29.240
when Barry Switzer was a jackass.
That one Baltimore, And but this one

22
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.439
takes the cake as far as I'm
concerned. So I, Raj, how

23
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:38.159
about you? I had I had
tickets to that game. One of my

24
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.280
friends is a player, and he's
like, I got tickets for you.

25
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.560
But I was in a car wreck
December nineteenth, I think we all know.

26
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.560
And my MRI was scheduled, and
you were, Raj, not not

27
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:52.759
the Cowboy player. Yes, because
because if the entire team was in a

28
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:58.520
wreck before the game, at least
that might be a viable excuse. But

29
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.000
they scheduled my MRI on that Sunday, And I was like, I wonder

30
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.960
why that is. It's obvious because
it's playoff game. Nobody was going to

31
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.159
be there, so they had to
be open. They were scheduled. I

32
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.039
went. Guy was like, you
know, thanks coming. I was like,

33
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.479
I had tickets to the game.
He's like, oh, man,

34
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.000
you should have gone. And I
was like, damnit, man, I

35
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.599
should have gone. And then so
I missed the first twenty minutes. So

36
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:23.639
did the Cowboys. Yeah, because
I got home and I saw the score

37
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.759
and I was like, man,
I am and it's freezing, and I

38
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.479
was like, I'm glad I'm not
at this game, and I'm like,

39
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.439
you know, there's a lot of
ballgame left. And right then, right

40
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.560
as I said that, I believe
that's when the pick six happened. I

41
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.639
was like, oh, yeah,
now it's done. Now yeah done,

42
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:46.479
what's over? So, adding an
additional insult to injury, forty nine Ers

43
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:54.840
head coach Shanahan said that they started
preparing for the Packers right around that time

44
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.240
as well, so even everyone else
in the league watching that game, as

45
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.199
well as all of us fans,
as soon as that pick six happened,

46
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.439
we all felt it. We all
felt the disturbance. We all knew it

47
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.039
they're done. And even before the
pick six, we all kind of knew

48
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:16.680
that they probably wouldn't come back because
this Cowboys team does not deal well with

49
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:21.319
adversity. They do not deal well
with things that don't go their way from

50
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:28.680
the start. Yeah. But the
fact that another coach on another team said

51
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.920
it two of the media, Yeah, oh what a what an absolute nut

52
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:38.240
punch. I have this question,
and I maybe it's because there is the

53
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.920
hope that you can have a comeback
with that twenty seven I think it was

54
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.879
twenty seven nothing at one point.
It was twenty seven to seven at halftime.

55
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.759
Yeah, because they scored that last
one right before the half. Yeah,

56
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.000
even though there was an off sides
of the guy. I mean,

57
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.959
I mean, obviously mat before had
the right to lose his mind because it

58
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.519
was offsides on the Covils, but
they didn't see it. Oh why not

59
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:06.360
put in because Ceedee lamb wasn't I
mean that first half he looked lost.

60
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.120
We can all agree on that.
Why not why not pull him out and

61
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.439
go you're not you're not contributing.
So let's put in whoever's behind Cede lamb

62
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.360
Uh. And then at that point
in the third takeout back and go Cooper

63
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.600
Rush, Let's see what you can
do. At this point, the game's

64
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.399
lost, so you might as well
just see what somebody else can do right.

65
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.879
I mean that would be my theory. Well, we all make the

66
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.000
assumption that Cede Lamb was running the
wrong routes. Dak could have been making

67
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.279
the wrong reads, and I would
like to point out I think it was

68
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.759
probably a little from column A and
a little from Colum B because on one

69
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:48.319
misque that they had, CD's running
a slant YEA, and Dak doesn't throw

70
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.480
the slant, and you see the
camera go to Dak close up and you

71
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:56.759
can see Dak say, that's supposed
to be a stop meaning that's supposed to

72
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.399
be a stop route. It's like
a quick hit. You come right back

73
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.639
from where you not slant inside.
And so from that perspective, Dak's ball

74
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:09.519
was where it was supposed to be. We're assuming there that Dak is correct.

75
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.560
Usually the quarterback knows the route more
so what it's supposed to be than

76
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.120
the wide receiver. But that's just
one play. There were plenty of other

77
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.120
throws in that game where Dak had
no like he was he was not on

78
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:26.319
target or didn't see the pick six. My god, that looks like a

79
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.959
rookie throw. I couldn't even believe
that. I'm like, how are you?

80
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.959
You know? That that linebacker is
going to drop. I don't make

81
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:39.279
that throw in Madden. And even
beyond that pick, like when he was

82
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:43.000
just trying to get rid of the
ball, he nearly threw an interception because

83
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.519
he like pitched it. He didn't
even throw it, he pitched it to

84
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.399
the Green Bay linebacker. Yeah,
that was in the second half, I

85
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.079
think, either late in the third, late in the third, early in

86
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:56.199
the fourth, when they were attempting
some sort of a comeback. So let's

87
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.600
look at that real quick, so
we can I ask one quick question.

88
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.759
Did any of y'all actually really heart
of hearts, even after the first quarter,

89
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:06.920
really think they were going to come
back? Because I didn't. I

90
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.199
had the same vibe that I did
when they played they were getting their asshipped

91
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.199
in Arizona, which was after the
first quarter, like this game's lost.

92
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.279
So that's what they say. There
was nothing about their demeanor, actions,

93
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.319
anything that I thought they were coming
back. That's exactly So that was my

94
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.759
in my head, I'm like,
why why are we still Why is the

95
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.399
same first team going out If they
can't produce, Let's have the other millionaires,

96
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.279
the less are higher salaried millionaires behind
them go out. And see what

97
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.879
they can do and prove that maybe
they have what it takes, because these

98
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.680
guys did not. It was just
terrible to watch and it was just so

99
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.519
soul destroying. I remember after the
half we went to quarter bar in Addison

100
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:53.240
and it's the quietest I've ever heard
that bar. It was just sad,

101
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.800
and at some point I just started
laughing. I'm like, this is the

102
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:01.279
saddest bar I've been to this So
this is where I go back to the

103
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:07.279
original question of is this the worst
loss in recent memory for the Cowboys.

104
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.560
To me, it absolutely is one, because it was a playoff game that

105
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:18.759
they quote Unquoich should have won.
But the reason why to me it's the

106
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:26.240
worst is because it's another example from
this season that it appeared they either didn't

107
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.000
show up at all or kind of
like what happened in Buffalo, kind of

108
00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.360
like what happened with San Francisco earlier
this year, similar to what happened with

109
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.960
Arizona. They got punched in the
mouth at the beginning of the game and

110
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.720
they didn't know how to respond.
It's like I talked about earlier this season

111
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.039
on this show, Wide Mouth Dak. Whenever Dak has the wide mouth and

112
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.759
the eyes. It looks like someone
just bocked him on the nose with a

113
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.120
newspaper because he just pittled on the
rug and he's got that look on his

114
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.039
face like, oh, but oh
what happened. Yeah, whenever he's got

115
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.799
that look on his face, the
Cowboys are hosed because if if he can't

116
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.759
pull it together and then my god. So it's like they didn't show up

117
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.480
and because things didn't go their way
from the beginning, they didn't know how

118
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.679
to respond. That's why all of
us felt how the way the game started,

119
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.039
none of us felt confident in their
ability to come back. Did they

120
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.480
make it interesting ish in the second
half by throwing up, you know,

121
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.200
thirty two points by the end of
it, Yeah, but they still lost

122
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.519
by sixteen. So the final score
of forty eight to thirty two is somewhat

123
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:41.240
deceiving. But the reality of it
is Green Bay had won that game so

124
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.639
early on that in the second half
they're playing completely differently. They're going to

125
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:50.879
give up Cowboys trash touchdowns. They
don't care because they know they're going to

126
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:58.080
the next round and yeah, look, we should have done. So it's

127
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.159
the same thing when I saw that
I'm like they're giving the letting them at

128
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:01.879
that point, they were just like, man, we can't beat them this

129
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.519
bad, so you know, give
them a couple I and then you really

130
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:16.159
go back and begs the question of
Dak Prescott was a two time first team

131
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:24.759
All SEC quarterback, has the size, strength, arm, all of it.

132
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.120
Why was he you know, we
talk about cow was drafted him in

133
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.759
the third round and like what a
great deal. But he had he was

134
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.519
in third and fourth round on everyone's
board. Why is it because he shrinks

135
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.679
in the big moments, Because that
really does seem like to be the big

136
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.200
knock on him because otherwise, you
know, numbers wise, everything else.

137
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.200
I mean, you want to talk
about numbers wise. I mean Tony Romo

138
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.399
had one of the best quarterback ratings
in NFL history for a quarterback. Tony

139
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.200
Romo was a better quarterback than people
ever gave him credit for. Yeah,

140
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.559
but it goes back to what it
goes back to what I always say.

141
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.279
It's there's an it fact, there's
a there's a motive. Oh sorry,

142
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.320
cats are having a fight. Turns
out my cats have more fight than the

143
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.080
Cowboys. But it is it's that
it factor, like there should have been

144
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.799
that fire when it shouldn't have been, Like, hey see, that was

145
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:20.720
supposed to be a stop per umph
that you need to get You need to

146
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.639
get in people's asses. If you're
the leader for saying that, I was

147
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.600
feeling it, rise, I was
feeling that you need to get in that

148
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.440
ass. So I appreciate you.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean if you're

149
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.320
the leader of that, if you're
the leader of that team and you're the

150
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.600
guy who's gonna drive them down the
field, and you're gonna drive them to

151
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.399
take them down to the super Bowl, then you need to get up somebody's

152
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.720
ass immediately otherwise. I mean that
Tony Romano did that. Every time he

153
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.240
threw an interception. He would just
slap that knee, and I hated it.

154
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.039
Every fucking time he did it.
I'm like, there's no oh man,

155
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.000
well shit next time. And then
he would just trot off to the

156
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.039
sidelines. He would do that,
and that also drove me crazy, but

157
00:11:54.120 --> 00:12:00.960
at least somewhat of a redeeming quality
of his screw ups like that, Yeah,

158
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.600
he would still in the Buffalo game, I always go back to this.

159
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.200
He throws five interceptions and he still
marches the team down to win the

160
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:16.759
damn game, whereas Dak throws one
that got it. When he does,

161
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.000
he gets locked up and then just
nothing. The difference in my in my

162
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:28.039
mind is Tony Romo had that Brett
Farv gunslinger mentality of it. Didn't matter

163
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.480
how many interceptions he threw, he
was still going to go out there and

164
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.679
do it again, and nine times
out of t end he was probably going

165
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.200
to be successful. Dak throws that
one interception and it seems like he's just

166
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.480
mentally he doesn't have He wants to
be a gunslinger, but he doesn't have

167
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.480
the mentality he'd start. It's like
he starts questioning his own existence. Yes,

168
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.799
it's it's like, this is what
it is. Dak Prescott appears to

169
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:58.879
suffer from imposter syndrome M and for
those that don't know, that's where,

170
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:03.840
uh, you feel like wherever you
are you don't belong and that people are

171
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.120
going to see you as the fraud
that you think you are or might be.

172
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.720
I'm not sure if that's exactly the
textbook definition of it, but you

173
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.480
kind of get the idea. And
that seems to be sort of what happens

174
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.559
when he plays. When things are
good, things are good, when things

175
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.360
are bad, he gets in a
hole and he can't dig himself out of

176
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.000
it. And that's where I go
back to the problem of coaching. As

177
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.200
the time that we are talking about
this, at the time of this recording,

178
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.960
Mike McCarthy still has a job,
and in our group chat, the

179
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:46.159
three of us had him fired before
he could leave the stadium Trey in a

180
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.799
much more violent and non politically correct
fashion that we should not share publicly.

181
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:56.279
No, but trust us. Raj
and I both go ooh. All I

182
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.000
said was Valet should just lose his
car and make him uber home. Uh.

183
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.960
Trays ended in some like a fiery
crash. Well, had they been

184
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:13.480
to the away team, Yeah,
still yeah, but as it is,

185
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.799
McCarthy still got a job. Jamee
Slater from NFL Network is saying that there's

186
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:22.159
nuances to it that they're trying to
figure out and are they gonna you know,

187
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.879
and I'm not sure what the nuances. It's like, you know,

188
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.840
because Dak's got a year and McCarthy's
got a year and they're looking at it.

189
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.519
Well, it was there. They
were really successful. Well yeah,

190
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.279
but they were successful in the way
that all recent Cowboys teams have been successful,

191
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.440
which is successful in the regular season, and they take a big steaming

192
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:45.440
dump in the playoffs. Michael Ovan
went as far as saying, to uh,

193
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.039
just clean house. That was the
latest thing. He just wouldn't said

194
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.200
just clean, just clean house,
just start over again. And that just

195
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.440
means for Cowboys fans, it's gonna
be all rebuilt. So it's gonna be

196
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.799
a terrible next season, and then
that's okay. We are okay with that,

197
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.000
honest to god. Like I was
having a conversation at the bar Arrows

198
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.879
watching the game and with a Cleveland
Browns fan, two Cleveland Browns fans,

199
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.639
and they were both saying, sorry, we feel your pain, and I

200
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.440
was like, no, you don't. You got used to in non stop

201
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.879
losing, So your expectations were low
to begin with. Yeah, Cowboys fans

202
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:28.399
of our age group still remember the
nineties, and so our expectations are high

203
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:37.639
and we can tolerate multiple seasons of
sucking as long as we know it's going

204
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.639
somewhere. What this current influx of
Cowboys is doing and what they did during

205
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.840
the Romo years, is they're good
enough to keep us interested. They're good

206
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.080
enough to sell a bunch of merch. But they're not good enough to do

207
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.480
even once what the teams of the
nineties or the seventies did. And that's

208
00:15:54.519 --> 00:16:00.840
what's so frustrating is and while other
fan bases like the Brown fans can't quite

209
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.600
relate to it, because yeah,
you lost your game the day before,

210
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:08.559
we lost our game, and so
we both feel badly. But because our

211
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:15.159
expectations are higher, we demand more. Therefore we come crashing down more.

212
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.759
But you know what, this is
what's really sad. And I have really

213
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:26.000
started breaking down my fandom with the
Cowboys. Why do we have any expectations?

214
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:33.879
Because if we're being honest, outside
of the seventies, eighties mediocre at

215
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:41.000
best, you have a six year
window of the nineties. And this is

216
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.360
the really key part of this.
It was pre salary cap. Jerry could

217
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.519
money whip a team. M you
could still cut people. You didn't,

218
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.240
you know Jimmy Johnson, that's where
you know he because he would cut anyone.

219
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:57.320
He didn't give up two shits.
But after that, it's been nothing

220
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:03.559
but mediocrity and suck. Yeah,
why do we expect anything less? You

221
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.640
know? And Dak at that press
conference when he came out, he just

222
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.240
came out and went sucked. Yeah, correct, Thanks, We didn't need

223
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.599
a press conference for you to tell
us that. And then I heard this,

224
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.680
and I don't know if you guys
heard the same thing, but he

225
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.640
said, if you get rid of
McCarthy, that should get rid of him

226
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.599
as well. And he went as
far as to say that. And I'm

227
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:23.519
like, that is that an offer? Because that sounds great? Uh,

228
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.720
you know what I mean, we
still have there's a lot of there's a

229
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.599
lot of interest in other quarterbacks out
there. There's a lot of interest in

230
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:34.799
Belichick. I know that. Apparently
there was already a phone call between the

231
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:40.960
crypt keeper and Bill Belichick. So
I don't see that. I just I

232
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.880
don't. I don't either. I
don't either. And and that's and that's

233
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:48.839
a whole separate conversation as far as
uh that that we can get into today.

234
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:53.720
Yeah, but it's there's so many
different angles to touch on with this

235
00:17:53.799 --> 00:18:00.240
game because it with a loss like
this, it opens up Pandora's box for

236
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:06.920
all of our whining and bitching and
moaning, which is all justified. It's

237
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.200
all justified. Maybe they get Jerry, they give they get Jimmy Johnson.

238
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.799
By you know what, Raj,
I'm Glad you mentioned that, because I've

239
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:21.640
got an idea that I'm going to
share with you coming back next All right,

you're listening to the Treehouse. Visit

242
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:57.359
Welcome back inside the Treehouse Football Podcast
where we're all properly pissed off.

243
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:06.240
And at halftime, the Cowboys were
down twenty seven to seven, and they

244
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:11.599
got, as far as I know, they got the best motivational speech that

245
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:18.400
they've had all year. The only
problem is it was Jimmy Johnson giving it

246
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:25.039
during the halftime show on Fox NFL's
Halftime Show. So in case you missed

247
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:30.079
it or we're just like a refresher, here's Jimmy Johnson at halftime on TV

248
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:36.559
saying what he would be telling the
team if he was coaching the Cowboys down

249
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.359
twenty points to the Green Bay Packers. I don't need to have people point

250
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.839
in the fingers one thing or another. You get your rear in in there

251
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:47.799
and you play the way you know
how to play. We can win the

252
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:51.519
game. We're gonna open it up, We're gonna go fast tempo defense,

253
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:55.640
get after Jordan Love. You can't
give him that much time. You do

254
00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:00.240
what you're supposed to do. We'll
win this, James. Mm hmmm mm

255
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:07.160
hmmmm. And I don't. I'm
not in the locker room to see what

256
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.480
Mike McCarthy tells the team. I
don't know what Dan Quinn, the defensive

257
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.640
coordinator, is telling his defense at
halftime, or if he's already on the

258
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:21.960
phone with Seattle. But I do
know what I what I am able to

259
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.519
see. What I'm able to see
is Jerry Jones had more fire in his

260
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:32.640
belly on a television set Jimmy Johnson. Then what did I say, jes

261
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.400
My bad. I'm going to restart
that sentence. Jimmy Johnson had more fire

262
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:45.319
in his belly from a television set
than I saw from Mike McCarthy the entire

263
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.759
season. Yes, you're actual to
me. That to me is a problem.

264
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:55.079
And the fact that the team seems
to read seems to act the same

265
00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:57.799
way McCarthy does, which is kind
of what happens. The team's personality will

266
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:03.039
kind of take on the personality of
its coach. Look at the Lions and

267
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:08.160
you were left with a lackluster performance, right you weren't wrong though, when

268
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.680
you started off and you said Jerry
Jones instead of Jimmy Johnson, because when

269
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.000
they would pan to him in the
Owner's box, he was he was red

270
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.519
faced and pissed, which was more
than you were seeing outa McCarthy or anyone

271
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:21.960
else. All right. I mean
at a certain point when they cut to

272
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:23.759
Jerry Jones in the booth, you
couldn't tell if it was him or a

273
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:29.200
bab boons ass. I think that
was just the Johnny Walker blue But that's

274
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.799
uh, oh, he'd be read
full time if that was the case.

275
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:38.599
But at one point you could see
Jerry Jones when I think it was the

276
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.400
pick six he had whatever was in
his hand, he threw it on the

277
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.279
ground gut and you can read his
lips. He goes, that's game and

278
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.000
he said it. But hm,
But Mike McCarthy always joke, and I

279
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.480
have since he's been our coach.
He just looks like he's ordering off a

280
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.119
takeout menu. That's what he's got. When he's just looking like that's so

281
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.599
when you're like, Jimmy Johnson had
fire in his belly, and I'm like,

282
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.000
you know what, and he probably
had express in his it just looks

283
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:08.680
like he's always ordering something. There's
no, there's no McCarthy also probably has

284
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:14.440
fire in his belly from the indigestion
from the from the chili dog. But

285
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:18.799
you know, we make fun of
McCarthy for that. But it's like I

286
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.799
was. I heard a clip from
the Kelsey's podcast, and you know,

287
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:26.440
both of them have basically played for
Andy Reid, and you know, and

288
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.440
they just joke about how if it's
an Andy Reid coach team, you know,

289
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.680
the food on the bus and the
plane and in the locker room is

290
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:41.480
going to be primo. Although although
Rajer, I think you're right, it

291
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.400
really does look like with the play
sheet in front of McCarthy's face, it

292
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.359
does look like a not only a
takeout menu. What it looks like is

293
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.000
it looks like he was so hungry
when he pulled up to Sonic that he

294
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:59.319
ripped the entire menu off the stand. You see the wires from the red

295
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:04.400
button d eng One Mountain. His
orders are just so big, and he

296
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.599
has a dry erase marker so he
just use then and then watch it down.

297
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:14.039
And maybe that's part of the problem
with with the offense is he has

298
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:18.960
he has difficulty calling just for one
blizzard he wants to try the ball and

299
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.240
then and they're in the huddle going
what's a blizzard? Like what what play

300
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:25.799
is that? And he just like
they just keep hearing it in their in

301
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.599
their in their helmets. But like
Tony Pollard, let's go to this Tony

302
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:34.319
Pollard now that he's got his contract, the lack of contract effort, Well

303
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.519
he got the the one that he
got the he got the franchise tag,

304
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.200
so yeah, but but what he
was doing motivation to me was not a

305
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.160
problem for him. Uh. It
just seemed like for whatever from from from

306
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.200
the beginning of the season to the
end of it, Tony Pollard did not

307
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.440
look the same. At times,
he looked pretty good at times He's but

308
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.480
that was sort of how the Cowboys
were as a whole for the for the

309
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:59.160
entire season. Look back at the
games where they got their asses handed to

310
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:03.680
them, and that's exactly what happened
in the game against Green Bay. And

311
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:07.720
they are also the most penalized team, I believe, or at least top

312
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:12.119
three, and which is just mental
mistakes. And that's something that has been

313
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:19.640
a constant in the Mike McCarthy era. Two things that have been problems for

314
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:29.480
the Cowboys since he's been the head
coach. Number one has been penalties and

315
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.839
and number two is the clock management. In this game, clock management wasn't

316
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.079
going to be a problem other than
the fact that they forgot to start.

317
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:45.680
Yeah, that is. I don't
know what they can tell the media,

318
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.400
what they can tell the fans to
excuse that. I just wanted did they

319
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.720
go out the night before? I
always because I remember I used to have

320
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.799
a club back in the day,
and I'd see those guys, these guys,

321
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.440
but I'd see the Cowboys players come
in and I'm like, isn't tomorrow

322
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.720
a home game? And then i'd
watch him. I'm like, oh it

323
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:08.519
was Quincy Carter. Was he?
And we got to talk about that too.

324
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:12.039
But Quincy Carter would come in,
I'm like, you're playing tomorrow and

325
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:15.960
like three interceptions for Quincy Carter.
I'm like, I can tell you why

326
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.759
that's happening. Yeah, I know
exactly what he drank. Here's the thing

327
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:26.839
with that, though, if that's
not anything that Cowboys players before Quincy Carter

328
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:30.720
and after Quincy Carter hadn't done.
Trust me, we all know Michael Irvin

329
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.880
did plenty of going out before games
and guess what, it never It never

330
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.000
got in the way. He still
showed up and he was still the playmaker.

331
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:47.839
Yeah, there are great examples of
great athletes or sportsmen doing things at

332
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:51.400
a high level that you wouldn't expect
them to because of what they did the

333
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:53.160
day before. Was it David Wells
with the Yankees through a perfect game?

334
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:56.720
And what did he tell the media
after the game. He's like, Man,

335
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:03.680
I've been I hung over. Yeah, I mean, you're just talking

336
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.279
about different because Michael Livern you're talking
you're talking about going out before the game.

337
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:08.920
You're talking about the night before.
Michael Irvin was at the Strip Club

338
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:18.839
watching the noon games before. Yeah, Jerry was cutting his cutting his lines

339
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:21.440
up in the locker room during a
halftime, Like you were doing great out

340
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:26.039
there, buddy. Uh. Yeah. There's also there's also a theory that

341
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:30.799
I just read yesterday that says that
the Cowboys have been cursed by Quincy Carter

342
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:36.079
and until he is inducted, and
I'm not making this up, until he's

343
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.920
inducted in the Ring of Honor,
there will be no Super Bowl for the

344
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.279
Dallas Cowboys. This is just something
I read yesterday. Then let there be

345
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:55.960
no Super Bowl ever. Cro Chiefs, Dallas's original professional football team. I

346
00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.119
used to work out at the same
place as Quincy Carter. I don't I

347
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:07.559
don't think he has it in him
to even do a curse. He's having

348
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:11.839
a hard time just getting from machine
to machine, So I don't. I

349
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.480
don't I think he's I don't think
he's worried so much about what the Cowboys

350
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:19.319
are doing now and cursing them or
something. Are you talking about are you

351
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:26.039
talking about from the frosty machine to
the drink machine? Yeah, I've never

352
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:37.640
heard of a draft call machine.
But uh, it's just all that brings

353
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:44.680
me to this once again, to
state McCarthy at the time that we've done.

354
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.279
At the time of this recording,
McCarthy still has a job. A

355
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:53.880
bunch of players still have their jobs. And I saw a quote from Ceedee

356
00:27:53.960 --> 00:28:00.680
Lamb a few days before the game
saying that he appreciates the demand that the

357
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.640
fans have for wanting a Super Bowl, you know, brought home to Dallas,

358
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:10.839
right, And he said He's like, I appreciate that, but trust

359
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:12.079
me that the fans don't want it
as bad as we do. We're in

360
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:15.039
here every day, blah, blah
blah. I guess they do. Yes,

361
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:19.079
they do CD because you're a player
for this little window and those there

362
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:22.279
are those of us who are older
than you whose window is much larger.

363
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:27.119
Like the Cowboys haven't won a Super
Bowl since Cede Lam's been alive. So

364
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:32.680
I'm pretty sure I want a Super
Bowl more badly than he does. Yes,

365
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.720
I just don't have the physical ability, never especially not now, to

366
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.480
go do anything about it. He
does. So that leads me to this.

367
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:49.839
I wish the players could experience what
we the fans experience when they play

368
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:56.960
so embarrassingly poorly. So for me
and my wife, we'll go to a

369
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.680
bar. We live in an area
it is not North Texas, it is

370
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.599
not Texas, it is not the
Southwest. There are fans from teams from

371
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:10.000
all over the place, and we
don't get the warmest of welcomes when we

372
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:17.640
show up wearing Cowboys stuff. So
when the team doesn't show up to play

373
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.720
like they like they did on Sunday, and we're left in a bar surrounded

374
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:29.759
by Packers fans wearing a Cowboys star
on our chest, we are embarrassed.

375
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:37.119
It is embarrassing, and if the
players could experience that, just once.

376
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:42.400
I think they would. I don't
know, I don't know if respond better,

377
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:47.359
but at the very least would have
a deeper appreciation for what they do

378
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.119
and how it affects people. Because
it's not all people just burning jerseys and

379
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:56.160
punching their flat screen TVs, although
that obviously happens. It's just this thinking

380
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.119
of how can you maybe it's me
taking it to personally, how can you

381
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:07.920
go out there and perform so poorly
that as a fan base, we're embarrassed

382
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:12.119
to be wearing the star? Yeah? And that's again why I and again

383
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:17.640
I just want to ask what is
the mindset behind We're already losing this game.

384
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.400
The owner and GM of the team
just threw whatever was in his hand

385
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.119
down and says, that's game.
You already half way through the second quarter?

386
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.000
Yeah, so why not go?
Hey, you know what that we're

387
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.759
done? Just go ahead. I
mean, you obviously didn't come to play,

388
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:34.960
So sit your ass down, Cedie. You can't figure out a route,

389
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.000
So you sit down, and all
you guys that have been sitting here

390
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.480
going we am. I gonna get
my shot, get the fucking the game.

391
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.279
Let's go. Let's see what you
guys got. And then go okay,

392
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.039
well, at least everyone, at
least everyone sort of attempted. That

393
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:55.240
would require a coach peeking out from
behind his sonic menu to pay attention to

394
00:30:55.319 --> 00:31:00.799
what's actually happening on the field.
Yeah, because I get to you everything

395
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.559
you just said Jimmy Johnson would do. And that gets me to my final

396
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:08.559
thing with this game, and that
is based on the audio that we heard

397
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:14.920
with Jimmy Johnson in halftime seemingly more
fired up than coach McCarthy all season.

398
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:22.119
Yeah, Tara and I discussed the
possibility, like most Cowboys fans do.

399
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.680
Maybe, man, if they could
just bring Jimmy back, which we know

400
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.559
is not gonna happen, but it
did offer a beautiful fantasy in my mind,

401
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:36.960
and that is Jimmy Johnson does come
back to the Cowboys, except he

402
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:41.240
doesn't wait for Jerry to fire McCarthy. He doesn't even wait for a phone

403
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.200
call, he doesn't wait for an
invitation. He just takes his boat straight

404
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:51.079
from the Florida Keys, right through
the Gulf and beaches that fucker in Houston

405
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:56.440
and takes it all the way up
to Frisco, crashes through the front of

406
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:02.720
the Star in Frisco and just starts
firing everybody and takes over, and Jerry

407
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:07.759
is so stunned. He's just gonna
be like, well, okay, I

408
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:12.119
get rid of McCarthy, get rid
of whoever he doesn't want, let him

409
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:17.720
come in coach one season and my
fantasy turned into a wet dream. I

410
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:22.119
know it's not gonna happen, but
it's a beautiful thought just to have Jimmy

411
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.480
crash through the front door of the
Star and say I'm taking this bitch over.

412
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.680
Follow me, and you see what
happens. Yeah, I looked at

413
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:36.200
it like just like the first game
of the season is just McCarthy's standing there,

414
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:38.680
assuming he just thought as his job, and then just just out of

415
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:44.400
nowhere, you just see Jimmy come
out with the perfect hair and depending on

416
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:46.880
the weather, either the white jacket
with the blue star and the blue or

417
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:52.160
just and then he just taps macarthy
on the shoulder and McCarthy's like, so,

418
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:53.240
what is it you want to eat? And he's like, oh shit,

419
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:59.720
that's Jimmy and he just thought it
was somebody else that wanted to order

420
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:01.880
his menu, and he goes,
you're out, and it's just like a

421
00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:05.240
tag team. And then he's out
to the rest of the game, and

422
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:07.319
then that's it, and then you
don't ever see him again. He rides

423
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:12.960
off into the foot lung conies of
the world. It'd be really fitting though,

424
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:16.519
you know his way out, give
him a sack of his sonic and

425
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:19.880
you know that has a chicken sandwich
instead of a burger. So we got

426
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:29.759
the wrong order. I think I've
got another. I've got another fantasy.

427
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:37.799
And that would have been at halftime
of that. Jimmy flies from La Yeah

428
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:45.240
to Arlington m with the smoke machine, comes running out of the tunnel with

429
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:52.039
his nineties apex jacket. Yeah.
And his hair is not just beautiful,

430
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.920
yeah, but on the flight he
fashioned it into a stellar white mohawk.

431
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:04.839
And he comes in and he's ready
to coach the second half and just to

432
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:08.440
see the whole place light up.
At that point there would be a roof

433
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:12.920
in the stadium, but it wouldn't
be because Jerry pushed a button. Yeah.

434
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:15.239
I was just say and I love
how you said that he just flew

435
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.159
at halftime. You didn't say there
was a plane or a hell. He

436
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:22.119
just flew. That's right, That's
how he was. He put on his

437
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:30.719
blue cape with a Cowboys star and
and saved the day. That would have

438
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:35.920
been incredible. I'm on board with
that fantasy. We Unfortunately, that's what

439
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:40.280
we're left with of another off season
of disappointment. Is fantasy mm hmm.

440
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:49.840
Meanwhile, other teams move on.
Jordan Love moves on rightfully. So uh

441
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.599
quick question. So where I was
watching the game, I couldn't hear every

442
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:59.840
second of the sound as far as
the broadcast goes right, they did show

443
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:04.559
fans in the stands certainly looking shocked
and dismayed. They're in a state of

444
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:08.679
disbelief, which, honestly, shock
and disbelief should have gone away after the

445
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:13.599
pick six in the second quarter because
we all knew that's it. The game's

446
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:17.039
over. This team doesn't like coming
from behind. They're terrible with adversity.

447
00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:25.239
Were there any booze from the fans
in that game at the end? Yes,

448
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:28.960
to me, that's where I think
that. Had I been in the

449
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.039
stands right after that pick six,
I would have been booing. And that

450
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:36.239
takes a lot for me to boom
my team because I hate it. I

451
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:39.199
typically hate it, but I hated
the way they played so much. I

452
00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:45.480
wish the entire stadium would have gotten
in their ass with a big old boodoo

453
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:50.920
like a boo dildo, and not
stopped until they actually responded in a positive

454
00:35:50.920 --> 00:36:00.519
manner. Is that gonna be this
week's update on Only Dance? You know

455
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:17.119
what, We all deal with pain
in different ways. Some of us gape.

456
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.639
I feel like that's kind of a
nice little tagline for the season of

457
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:35.760
The Trio's football podcasts. We gape. All right, Well, I at

458
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:37.800
least feel a little bit better to
to bitch about it in here with you

459
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:43.920
guys. Hope you do as well. Yeah, for sure, go Chiefs

460
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:47.159
Tray, I'm with you. I'm
I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm on

461
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:52.760
the Chiefs bandwagon now, at least, at least for the remainder of this season again
