00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:13.160
Welcome to the Treehouse Football Podcast,
Episode number one, season number one.
2
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.880
I'm not gonna focus too much on
the season number one because I don't know
3
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.320
if we'll you know, go into
a second season or not. But Treehouse
4
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.399
Football Podcast number one, Yeah,
welcome, Welcome to it. I'm Dan
5
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.000
ol Malley along with Trey Trenholme.
You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna rephrase
6
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:37.159
that, I'm Dan o'm malley along
with UT alum Trey Trenholme, and not
7
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.799
Texas State but Southwest Texas State alum
Raj Sharmah. There you go. I
8
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.240
didn't throw mine in because I went
to UT Arlington for all of a year
9
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.000
and a half and we didn't even
have a football team, So why even
10
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:56.600
mention it? Unless we start doing
a Treehouse Wheelchair Basketball podcast. My college
11
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.039
has no bearing in this show.
The comment is it? The comments?
12
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.599
Is that what you guys know?
Well, it's the it's the It's Uta
13
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.120
Mavericks, Mavericks. Okay, the
comments. The wheelchair team is unless they've
14
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.599
changed. It is the moving maths, the moving maths. All right,
15
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.719
Okay, don't they they have a
pretty good basketball team, now, don't
16
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.599
they? They do? They do? I I'll admit I haven't followed it
17
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.359
a whole lot. I'm not sure
who was more surprised about the new basketball
18
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.560
arena, the basketball team or anyone
that ever went to UTA and we had
19
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.840
a nice little upset over Baylor.
Southwest Texas or Texas State defeated Baylor in
20
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.200
their home open. Well, that's
exciting. Maybe we can get into that
21
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.719
when we touch on the college side
of football growing up in the all New
22
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.239
Treehouse Football podcast The Treehouse, We've
decided to branch out because we're not busy
23
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.439
enough, or we apparently don't say
enough. As it is twice a week
24
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.120
during the Treehouse Podcast, we feel
the need to also flood your ears with
25
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.719
our sports thoughts. So here we
are. I like, go when you
26
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.079
said we're not busy enough, and
I just thought Trey's head turned like eiel
27
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.080
Mally, I haven't slept in three
days. I feel like elvit's on a
28
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:14.840
bender. Well, that means you
probably appear to have more energy than the
29
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:21.080
Giants offensive line did this last week
for you. Speaking of surprises, was
30
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:25.639
anybody's surprised by the Cowboys victory Sunday
Night in the season opener over the Giants?
31
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.479
Forty to nothing. How could you
not be? I mean, I
32
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:38.039
don't know about surprised, more of
like the just the moments that we're just
33
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.280
never ending in the game, Like
the moments of like oh okay, I
34
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.039
didn't see that coming. Oh I
didn't know that was gonna happen. Oh,
35
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.240
just that over and over again.
By the end of it, I
36
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.240
was tired. Well, I was
tired after the first I'd say six or
37
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.759
seven minutes. However long it took
for the Giants to march down the field
38
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.080
and then the Cowboys to block that
kick, return it for a touchdown,
39
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:06.599
and when Trey and I were texting
each other, missed the extra point to
40
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.039
take a six nothing lead, to
which Trey responded, that was the most
41
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:15.199
Cowboys sequence ever. And he was
not wrong. Right then and there,
42
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.120
I thought, oh no, they've
picked up right where they left off last
43
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.759
season, which is do something good
and then just look like a total idiot
44
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.800
right after it. Yeah, but
I mean, to their credit, you
45
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.360
have the kid Aubrey I think is
his last name, that there is a
46
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.520
place kicker now has in God love
him for it. Had never kicked in
47
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.919
the NFL. I don't think he
kicked in college. He was uh,
48
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.639
he was a soccer player, and
he was drafted in the first round of
49
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.599
Major League Soccer and then I think
he went to the USFL for Birmingham because
50
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:53.800
he was in the USFL and May
missed only one field goal attempt that previous
51
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:58.719
season, and to his credit,
he missed that one. Because I'm sure
52
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.080
this is what the conversation was on
the sideline when that happened, because when
53
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:06.120
I heard like his background, you
know, the USFL is vastly different than
54
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.280
the NFL. Right, So hey, hang on, Trey, let's look
55
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.800
that. Yeah, that that there
is a that is a hot take there.
56
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:18.839
That is a John Madden take.
That That is the kind of professional
57
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:24.720
take you will get here on the
Treehouse Football podcast. Right. The NFL
58
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.160
is harder than the USFL. Let's
just send the show right there. They're
59
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.040
both, they're both, they're both
professional football. I'm just saying those are
60
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.439
very John Madden as like two of
these, out of these two teams,
61
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:38.040
one's gotta win. Like, that's
a that's the Madden take. Yeah.
62
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.560
The only thing you're missing is is
the marker on the screen and a Turkey
63
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.040
leg and athletes would endorsement, right, So there's four things. Yeah,
64
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.240
and then you know, he misses
the one kick and that's his first time
65
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.319
to kick in the NFL. And
I'm sure he went to the sideline.
66
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:57.560
They're like, you know, he
can still fire you right like like probably
67
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:02.519
again, and then we will leave
you here. There is there is precedent
68
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.519
in in Cowboys history where you f
up bad enough, they will not let
69
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.959
you on the plane to go back
to Texas. Yeah, it's one of
70
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.839
those like you're gonna be a giant
or homeless, so don't don't miss another
71
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:19.279
kick. And then I was reading
the stats of the game, and it
72
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.680
was, you know, the blocked
the block field goal for the touchdown return,
73
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.279
and the shutout and then this and
and all of those things, and
74
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.480
they combined it to no other NFL
team has ever suffered all of those things
75
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:36.720
in one season, let alone in
one game. So who gets who gets
76
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.240
more credit for them the Cowboys for
having forced it upon the Giants or the
77
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:48.680
Giants just kind of looking like a
Benny Hill skit. I want to see
78
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:54.759
that game set to that music.
I like that because you could have just
79
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.920
had you could have had the old, the old Benny Hill music playing just
80
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:05.560
on repeat of watching watching Danny Dimes
run around all over the field away from
81
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:13.600
the Cowboys defense. I just I
flashed back to last week with one of
82
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:19.040
the ESPN guys whose theory was to
run at to do everything at Michael Parsons,
83
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.319
Like that's what he wants. That
was his suggestion to every team is
84
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.600
you want to go directly to him. And I'm like, after watching that
85
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.199
game, I'm like, I'd like
for you to just say that again,
86
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.959
because that didn't seem to work if
that was your philosophy on how to defeat
87
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.959
the Cowboys or or beat their defense
is to run at, run the ball
88
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.720
at Michael Parsons. The other surprise
in this game was that Trey, I
89
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.279
think you and I in our little
text exchange during the game, we touched
90
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.759
on this as well. So the
Cowboys throw up forty points, but if
91
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:58.360
we're being honest, the offense was
kind of me, Oh yeah, yeah,
92
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.480
I don't I don't think that was
disputed in any way. I don't
93
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.439
know. It's just typically what you
would do is if for some reason you
94
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.399
were just going through the box scores
or you didn't have to watch the game,
95
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.360
and you see the Cowboys beat the
Giants on the road forty to nothing
96
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.480
on Sunday night, You're like,
oh my god, their offense clearly just
97
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.360
lit it up, when in reality, no, they just they just kind
98
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.720
of went about the day just like
oh, we're here too, just kind
99
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:26.040
of hanging out. The offensive stats
for the game were very pedestrian for Dallas.
100
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.240
Like when you look at the score, do you go forty nothing?
101
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.680
You think you know, they would
have you know, Dak would have thrown
102
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.920
for four hundred yards and they had
all these standout performances and you just didn't.
103
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.399
I mean, and that's you know, the Giants that first drive up
104
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.600
until that last sequence, they were
moving the ball at will and you're going,
105
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.680
all right, this is gonna be
you know, one of those things
106
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:46.720
that's gonna be back and forth,
back and forth, and you know,
107
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.040
come down to a field goal,
and then it's like and then you go,
108
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.759
well, were the cowboys? Like? You know, sometimes they'll run
109
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.879
set plays, like the first ten
plays of offense are already scheduled. I
110
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.279
don't know if they do that on
the defense where they do, and that
111
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.480
then all of a sudden they made
adjustments and they just overwhelmed the Giants.
112
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.920
I don't because it's like, what's
that field goal got blocked? It's like
113
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.399
the entire will just got sucked out
of that team and then it was then
114
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.319
it was the Benny Hill Show of
just and then poor. I've never thought
115
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.079
I would feel sorry for Daniel Jones, but by the end of that game,
116
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.560
I'm Dan and I are texting,
I'm going like they got to take
117
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.399
him out, like yeah, it's
like they've got one hundred and sixty something
118
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.439
million and wrapped up in that guy. Yeah, and he to his like
119
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.399
he just took a beating. He
did and he could have come out looking
120
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.639
way worse. Despite the fact that
Trey you're saying you feel bad for Daniel
121
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.840
Jones and how he's running for his
life in that game, I feel bad
122
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.840
for Daniel Jones because to me,
I can't look to me, Daniel Jones
123
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:56.000
looks like a Beaker on assessment.
So I pondered this question and I see,
124
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.000
now, yeah, I can't either. It's kind of like, uh
125
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.639
so, in addition into Daniel Jones
looking like Beaker from Sesame Street, it
126
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.039
is Sesame Street, right or is
it? Or the Muppet Show? The
127
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.879
Muppet Show? Yeah, all right. In addition to Daniel Jones looking like
128
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:18.279
Beaker from the Muppets. Uh old
Giants coach Tom Coughlin. One day watching
129
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.120
a game, I saw Tom Coughlin
and all of a sudden, all I
130
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:31.639
could see was he looked exactly like
Jeff Dunham's Walter Muppet, sort of like
131
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.080
how uh, sort of sort of
like, how got Daniel Baker Jones?
132
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:48.360
You've got Tom, don't call me
Walter Coughlin and Sean Blue Steel Peyton.
133
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.480
Once you see those things, you
can't unsee them, so like I remember,
134
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.320
yeah, I just I was wondering
if there's something because I was looking
135
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.200
at Daniel Jones and then I was
like, is there something with the Giants
136
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.159
helmets? Because it almost gave him
stupid face? Like yeah, Eli,
137
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.639
it's like Giants helmets. I think
you really as soon as as soon as
138
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.360
a human quarterback puts on that Giant's
helmet, they just immediately go dirt.
139
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.639
I just a buddy of mine is
from Yonkers, New York, and he's
140
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:33.240
a Giants fan forever, and this
is when like and we trash talk every
141
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:39.399
single time the Cowboys and the Giants
play. And I didn't get a response
142
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.320
back from him for this game.
I just I texted. All I said
143
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.720
is after and again, like you
said, after that block field goal,
144
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.639
the not only did the will go, I think you could feel the energy
145
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.399
get sucked out of that stadium.
I think I think at that point,
146
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.799
if you have any Giants fans after
that game or actually somewhere in the middle
147
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.159
of the third quarter, was the
time too, as they say, check
148
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.200
on your Giants friends. Yes,
and so I just after that, after
149
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.519
that block field goal, Uh,
I go, man, you guys are
150
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:16.000
looking and I just stopped there the
ellipses ouch. Uh. And then we
151
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.120
missed that the extra point and I
got nothing back, and I was like,
152
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.639
oh, this is interesting. He
normally this would be right, this
153
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.159
would be the appropriate time for him
to go. And you were saying,
154
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.279
and then obviously he would have been
correct. Yeah, And then the rest
155
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:35.039
of the game happened, and then
he just exactly so, just so,
156
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.600
just when you thought things couldn't get
any worse for the city and state of
157
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:46.600
New York and their football teams,
Monday night comes around. Yes, and
158
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.759
the team that the Cowboys play next, the Jets. Their big splash offseason
159
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:56.960
move is getting Aaron Rodgers. They
they they pulled Brett Farve, you know,
160
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:01.240
part two and build the Packers quarterback
over to the Jets. And how
161
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.240
long ended the game was? It
was it even five minutes. The most
162
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:09.080
running Aaron Rodgers did before he tore
what we think is a torn achilles was
163
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:16.480
him carrying the flag running out onto
the field during the pregame stuff. Yeah,
164
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.840
that you know, And and I
feel I feel bad for him.
165
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.200
I mean, poor guy. I
mean really, here's why, Like he's
166
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.799
done this whole Ayawaska journey and apparently
he used to be a tremendous a hole
167
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.159
and now he's like gone back to
like former players in Green Bay and like
168
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.240
apologized and you know, he's got
his his his spiritual side is there.
169
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.399
Like he's apologized to his family,
like he really Yeah have they Have they
170
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.879
accepted it? Because I believe so. Yeah, because even even the brother.
171
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:46.679
Yeah, so that the whole thing, because he was on the Bachelor.
172
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.279
When he's on the Bachelor and he
was his brother, Jordan Rodgers,
173
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.320
and he ended up marrying the girl
from Dallas. Yeah, and like and
174
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.840
one of the girls that he took
home is like footy, think Aaron's gonna
175
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.960
be here and he's like he hasn't
been here in eight years. Still stop
176
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.639
asking, Like, yeah, I
think he's like he's I think he showed
177
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.399
up to his family's thing for the
holidays, like that was the thing.
178
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.600
Uh, And like he here's his
moment, like he's gone through the spiritual
179
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.000
journey and I and I admire that, and I'm like, good for you.
180
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.159
And he's made amends and and all
of those goods. And he's got
181
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.240
a new team. He just bought
a new house, like eight million dollars
182
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.360
new house. So it turns out
you can make all the amends you want,
183
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.320
but Carmen is still gonna get you. But the turf is a bitch.
184
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:33.679
Yeah he didn't. He didn't make
amends with the astro turf Diddy Somewhere
185
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.720
somewhere in somewhere in that stadium,
the turf monster, the turf Monster of
186
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.840
New York was like, m he
didn't apologize to me. Been playing on
187
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.919
grass this whole time, Hum,
bitch somewhere below the turf monsters saying,
188
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.720
now is my time I've been waiting
for you, keep calling me fake grass?
189
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:03.679
How's your foot like? And then
that moment hit and you could see
190
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.080
it on his face, and I
was like yeah, and they you know,
191
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.519
the whole game, just speculation until
the press conference when it's like it
192
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.080
looks it doesn't look good. I
remember the next the next morning, seeing
193
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.279
a slow motion replay and they had
it zoomed in on his lower leg and
194
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.600
you could see the line down the
back of his leg just kind of just
195
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.879
kind of wobble in a way that
is in no way natural. Yeah.
196
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.039
Everyone looking at that's like, yeah, he's done. Yeah. And then
197
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.759
you can see the if you watch
it again, and I'm sure you can
198
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.000
go back and look at you can
see the recoil rolls up into into the
199
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.720
back of his leg and and and
then his and then just his face was
200
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:46.279
like I'm done. And somebody I
can't remember I was watching ESPN his earliest
201
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.000
morning and they're like, well's he's
definitely gonna come back, Like this is
202
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.240
not the way he wanted it to
go. It's a really really hard injury
203
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.279
didn't come back from. Yeah,
it's a full year type of situation.
204
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.000
Yeah, and then to and then
to get back and then just the trepidation
205
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.519
of getting back on that uh and
then yeah, I you know as much
206
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.159
he's gonna have it, He's gonna
have about a year to make amends with
207
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.879
the turf Monster. Yeah, that's
what I'm like. Maybe he can go
208
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.960
on another iowaspan journey and then the
turf Monster and him can hug it out
209
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.840
on on a celestial plane somewhere.
Uh, and then maybe next year he
210
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:26.399
comes back and actually last longer than
four plays. Jets fans are a special
211
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.519
bunch because I don't know any Like
they were so excited before the season started.
212
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:37.720
I mean, and if it is
the most Jets thing ever of you've
213
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.799
just you've got arguably, you know, one of the best quarterbacks ever played
214
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.440
the game, and you're like,
oh, this is our year, this
215
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:56.759
is our chance. We've in four
plays j e. But for the undrafted
216
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:03.240
kid from from Stephen Fos and to
to win that game, uh in overtime,
217
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.799
like that was like if you if
you saw the Hard Knocks story about
218
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.799
him, he basically forced his way
onto that team, say forced or forrested
219
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:17.320
because he don't no, no,
he know, but he both I like
220
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:22.519
football. He forced his way on
basically onto that team, and and you
221
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.679
know they got the win, and
then that was I guess a morale was
222
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.240
I don't know what they're gonna do
in that position that that quarterback is clearly
223
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:34.279
uh eleven years old, he's eleven
years old and that but that, but
224
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.039
that was the best Zach Martin's played. Like I was actually I think that
225
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.159
I watched some of that game.
You said, Zach Martin, you mean
226
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.159
Zech Wilson, Zach Wilson. Yeah, and uh, I mean compared,
227
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:48.840
But to be fair trade, Zach
Martin also did the really good in the
228
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:55.879
Cowboys games. And I might take
him as quarterback over Zach Wilson. But
229
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.399
look, if you're the Jets,
all options are on the table because the
230
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.000
truth what exach, what is this
a second or third year? Uh?
231
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:08.599
Two? Yeah, I mean the
good thing here about the Treehouse Football Podcast
232
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.559
is we're not gonna bar you with
a bunch of knowledge. No, we're
233
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.640
not gonna borry you with a bunch
of knowledge and hard information. A lot
234
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.160
of us gonna be conjecture and a
lot of just you know, feelings.
235
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.599
Yeah, you can go to you
can go listen to that crap anywhere else.
236
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.400
This is gonna be fun, exactly. This is gonna be fun.
237
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.599
Yeah, And it was Zach Wilson. You could have said, Zach Morris
238
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.519
I would be like, they look
the same. I don't even care.
239
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.480
But they both got saved by the
belt. I don't care. Out,
240
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.079
Yeah, they have the head coach
turns and he's just on that that the
241
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:45.519
cordless phone. I gotta do what
he just freezes time. Yes, he
242
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.640
has to turn to one of the
cheerleaders and make sure she's off the caffeine
243
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:53.599
pills before he can get into the
game. But I mean, yeah,
244
00:17:53.799 --> 00:18:00.279
year two and good, and I
hope they find a replacement rather quickly because
245
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.759
he won the game. And that
was a team effort. Again, you
246
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.079
could feel that, like that fourth
that when he got off the field,
247
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:10.160
when Aaron Rodgers got off the field, that whole stadium was like, and
248
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.440
so do we go now to beat
traffic? Like that? That was a
249
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.440
sense of the building. And then
they did what they did and they had
250
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.240
that one again. And Wilson,
I don't know his first name, but
251
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:25.480
uh, that catch in the end
zone, which that that bobbled uh catch
252
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.759
that he just caught laying on his
back on the ground was brilliant highlight real
253
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.920
number number two. I think it's
is what it took over. Well,
254
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:34.599
you know what's sad about that is
I didn't even see that. In some
255
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.440
of the clips on social media the
next morning, it was all Aaron Rodgers
256
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.799
leg recoiling. Yeah, yeah,
that's that's the that's the story, right.
257
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:48.000
But I hope Rodgers Achilles going the
way of a piano chord. But
258
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.000
yeah, but what if this was
like and and let's let's see if we
259
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:55.240
can call this what if it is
one of those great moments in football history
260
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.799
where this kid who's the backup to
Aaron Rodgers, who got calling to this
261
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.920
game, who is just literally I
don't know how he got out of the
262
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.759
sixth grade to play that night.
I don't know what time it's bedtime is,
263
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:11.119
but it's called it's called the permission
slip roun. Okay, we didn't
264
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.000
we didn't have those. We had
permission to do nothing. So and then
265
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.160
he and he wins. What if
it's like this great I don't know,
266
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.160
what if he like what if they
go all the way, like they go
267
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:23.799
to the dance? Like what if
he is the they're going to go to
268
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:34.960
the dance because it's the sixth grade
social it's a mom mommy sundance. You
269
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.640
just see the image of here's some
you know, some lady over there on
270
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:42.400
the sideline looking at her watch,
going your bedtimes midnight, Zach, you
271
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:48.720
better wrap this up over time.
That's just the reporter from ESPN's like,
272
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:53.079
I'm gonna ask you four questions and
it's night, nighttime. And it's not
273
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.160
a towel that the trainer pulls out
to wipe his face. It's it's just
274
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.720
blanky. Let see the press conference
where he's got a juice box in front
275
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:11.599
of him and his mouth piece is
an actual passifier. The NFL really will
276
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:18.279
put those logos on anything? Is
that a binky? One? Last one,
277
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:23.000
last piece of Cowboys information before before
we move on to the college side
278
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.960
of things. Here on the very
first episode of the Treehouse Football podcast,
279
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:34.640
and that is an allegation against Jerry
Jones for making racially charged comments. There's
280
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.519
a new lawsuit that's been filed against
the NFL by a reporter named Jim Trotter,
281
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:45.960
and he attributes a secondhand racist remark
to Bill's owner Terry Pigoula. As
282
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:52.559
to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Trotter
makes a first hand allegation of inappropriate racially
283
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.400
charged commentary. Do you guys hear
about this ship? Yes? Yeah.
284
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:02.640
Beginning at paragraph one ten of the
complaint, Trotter explains that in the aftermath
285
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.640
of John Gruden's departure from the Raiders
in October twenty twenty one, after the
286
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.799
release of various inappropriate emails, Trotter
planned to share on NFL Now a racist
287
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:15.279
statement that allegedly had been made by
Jones to Trotter at the twenty twenty one
288
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.240
Pro Bowl Hall of Fame game between
the Steelers and the Cowboys. Trotter,
289
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.759
while on the field before the game, was congregating with other reporters. The
290
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:27.319
complaint alleges at one point, mister
Trotter was speaking to Will McClay, the
291
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:33.640
Cowboys vice president of player personnel,
about the fact that NFL teams tend not
292
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.799
to draft many players out of historically
black colleges and universities also known as HBCUs,
293
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.960
and whether that might be due to
the lack of black people in personnel
294
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:47.039
decision making positions like general managers.
Mister Jones joined the conversation and mister Trotter
295
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:52.279
asked why teams had so few black
decision makers, and he says mister Jones
296
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.079
dodged the question and stated that players
get a large percentage of league revenue and
297
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.200
majority of players are black. In
effect, mister Jones was stating that black
298
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.480
people should be quote be happy for
what they have and not seek further advancement
299
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:08.240
of their rights, positions in society, or a quality and mister Jones.
300
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:12.440
Mister Trotter reiterated his question, to
which mister Jones responded, I'm starting to
301
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:18.960
feel a little defensive. However,
notwithstanding jones previous answer on history of conduct,
302
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:21.559
Trotter made it clear that he was
not attacking him or even speaking about
303
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:23.559
the Cowboys, but just asking about
the league in general, and then,
304
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.319
onto paragraph one sixteen of the complaint, mister Jones finally responded, quote,
305
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.920
if blacks feels some kind of way, they should buy their own team and
306
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:36.279
hire who they want to hire.
This is the point at which I would
307
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:41.480
like to point out that Jerry Jones
has denied the allegation and said that it
308
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.599
is inaccurate, and as far as
the Bill's owner, he has said it's
309
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:51.960
completely untrue on his end of things. You know, I don't think this
310
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.000
story will gain any traction, and
it's the same thing. It's why,
311
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.640
you know, in the off season, when the pictures surfaced of Jerry Young
312
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:06.000
Jerry Jones at the when they were
integrating his school in Arkansas, and he
313
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.119
you know, everyone tried to make
a big deal out of it. But
314
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.880
at the end of the day,
I don't think the story has any traction
315
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.599
because I think in general most people
assume that Jerry Jones is kind of a
316
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.200
racist. Thank you, Yes we
do. He's an eight year old Andrew
317
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:23.720
Arkansas. He's you know, that's
that's not that's not shocking. The only
318
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.279
reason it's the headline is because he
owns the Cowboys. I guarantee you there's
319
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:32.279
another eighty year old man in Arkansas
right now saying the same stuff and no
320
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:34.160
one shocked by it because it's an
eight year old whit guy in Arkansas.
321
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:38.319
No, there's there's also a million
eighty year old men across this country.
322
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:44.440
When that statement was made, when
I know, yeah, so, uh
323
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.079
what. Anytime stuff like this comes
out, it just takes me back to
324
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:59.359
when Bill Burr was talking about the
the former owner of uh gosh, I
325
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.279
think it was Golden State. Uh
when when all the racist about Donald Sterling
326
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:08.839
the Clippers, yeahs the Clippers.
Yeah, when he when he said all
327
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.359
the things he said and Bill came
out and was like, Yeah, was
328
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.759
anybody surprised. I would. It's
like if if if he was at his
329
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.200
age and how he grew up,
if he wasn't racist, I'd be stunned.
330
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.160
Yeah, you're right, I think
that would be more surprising. The
331
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.079
other way. The thing I think
is always interesting is the Cowboys. Everything
332
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.400
is under under is under a scope. You know, it's under a magnifying
333
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.599
glass. Everything's always blown up because
it's the Cowboys. And it's no different
334
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:41.400
with Jerry Jones, except some of
the Cowboys players that are not able to
335
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.440
withstand some of the controversy many have
over the years. Sometimes they don't,
336
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.279
like I don't think uh Terrence Williams
ever truly recovered from falling off that scooter
337
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:55.519
in Frisco. And I mean like
the actual two wheel razor scooter, not
338
00:24:55.640 --> 00:25:00.960
like an actual motorized scooter. Anyway. Yeah, I aggress No matter what
339
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:04.640
controversy has ever popped up in front
of or behind Jerry Jones, He's always
340
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:10.000
been able to skate by it,
slip through it, whatever it is people
341
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.960
talk about. You know, Donald
Trump being the teflon don Jerry Jones is
342
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:19.279
more slippery than any other sports owner
than any other eighty year old man making
343
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:26.400
questionable comments or doing questionable things.
Honestly, at the end of the day,
344
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:29.200
Jerry Jones to me is kind of
like a dolphin. He's horning any
345
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:33.279
slippery Well. I'll tell you why
Ilay was compared Jerry Jones too, and
346
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.480
it's because their same agent from the
same city is Bill Clinton, like talking
347
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:42.400
about like it's just everything just kind
of rolls off like like he'll be it
348
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.319
might be in a in an s
storm for a little bit, but at
349
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.079
the end of the day, he's
gonna get through it. And I think
350
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.720
part of the reason why the people
that might get taken out oh yeah,
351
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.680
got him. And I think part
of the reason why is one's popularity and
352
00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:00.359
two at the end of the day, he's kind of likable. I don't
353
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.720
I don't know. If I don't
know, if Jerry Jones isn't any way
354
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:07.640
likable, I wouldn't say that.
I would just say that it's not shocking.
355
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:10.200
Like when I saw the picture,
like the same picture that Trey was
356
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:14.279
talking about of the of when they
were integrating to school, the first thing
357
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:18.759
I saw was the kid with a
cigarette, like like they could smoke then
358
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:23.559
like like that was my I wasn't
wasn't the only change that was happening at
359
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.799
the time. Yes, there was
a no smoking policy apparently went up,
360
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:33.759
but that's what I because that when
it when it came, and not to
361
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.119
take it to a serious note,
but when it comes to racism and and
362
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.480
things like that, I'm forty I'll
be forty eight this year. I've I've
363
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:47.000
I've dealt with it a lot and
nothing stuns me. So when I hear
364
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.480
this stuff and I'm like, okay, yeah, I mean, unless the
365
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.599
league does something about it, then
bravo. But nobody else is gonna do
366
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:57.119
anything. It's not gonna gain any
traction just because I go, oh yeah,
367
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.640
look who said it well and well, And it's also just it's also
368
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.240
just an allegation. As far as
we know, there's no audio of this
369
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.119
there you know there's this, there's
no video of it. So it's basically
370
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:10.599
it's a it's a he said,
he said type of situation. One of
371
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:12.119
you's a reporter, one's a billionaire
owner in the NFL. Who do you
372
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.359
think is going out ahead exactly?
Who can who can buy the media enough
373
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.759
to where this story gets buried?
Every single time. And it's also the
374
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.839
other white owner of another team is
going, I didn't hear nothing, and
375
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.079
they're like, oh, okay,
that I got you. Uh. And
376
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.440
it's when they call it a good
old boys club, that's what they mean.
377
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.480
It's it's they all have the same
thought process. They all think the
378
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:42.640
same way because they for us to
think people evolve, they grow up that
379
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:48.759
way in that isolated cocoon of billionaires
and and and that society to think that
380
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.359
they're just gonna wake up one day
and evolve and go everything I've ever thought
381
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.000
was wrong. It's kind of presumptuous
on our part. And you think he's
382
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:03.000
gonna skate this. Yeah, I
I doubt like by a week from now
383
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.599
this is even a story. I'm
actually kind of with you. And ironically,
384
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:08.880
that's the reason why I wanted to
bring it up is because I bet
385
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:15.279
by the time we record the next
Free House Football podcast, yeah, it's
386
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.519
not going to be a thing at
all. I'm I'm honestly, I'm less
387
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:26.079
curious about what possible or what alleged
racist comments or racially charged comments Jerry Jones
388
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:30.920
has. I'm more interested in the
in the in the girl that said you're
389
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.039
my father, Yeah, how do
we? Yeah, what happened to that
390
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.680
part? Like well, and there's
also you know, there is a and
391
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:45.799
it happened in the last week that
there's also a sexual harassment lawsuit against Jerry
392
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.079
that a judge said could could move
forward. So it's not that Jerry's without
393
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.519
problems. I just don't think this
one because at the end of the day,
394
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:56.839
and you know, I'm not much
of a conspiracy theorist, but I
395
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.960
you know, money and power NFL
is such a big business. I mean,
396
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.319
it is a juggernaut, and it
is so tight end of every media
397
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.400
outlet that at the end of the
day, I think they can bury a
398
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:12.119
story if it gain traction. But
like I said, I think everyone just
399
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:15.720
kind of goes, yeah, it's
Jerry, you know, yeah, he's
400
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.559
probably a racist, And kind of
the what you're saying, Trey, is
401
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:25.000
that Jerry Jones has a really big
shovel. Oh yeah, can burry whatever
402
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.279
he wants if he chooses. I
think I also think Jerry Jones wakes up
403
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:32.680
every morning and like reads these things
and just all he says is like God,
404
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:37.319
damn it, Scotch, Like that's
like he blames all his problems on

407
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:22.880
Welcome back to the Treehouse Football Podcast
number one. Now that we've had our
408
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.039
grubby Jerry Jones fingers all over the
Dallas Cowboys week one, and I look
409
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:34.759
ahead to week two against and Aaron
Rodgers less New York Jets time. What's
410
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:38.960
that, Trey? Oh, it's
funny you're talking about Jerry Jones and how
411
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.440
like he is like TEF one,
nothing's gonna stick to him. And then
412
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:47.240
you have, you know, on
the other end of the spectrum. Have
413
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:51.720
you all read about the Michigan State
football coach Mel Tucker? No? What
414
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:56.400
is this? Okay? So,
now, I don't want to sound like
415
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.440
I'm a complete sports moron when it
comes to current events. I know something
416
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:03.240
happened with Michigan State's head coach,
but I don't know exactly, and I
417
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.480
wasn't sure if it was related to
the gymnastics controversy they had with the Michigan
418
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.519
State doctor for the women's gymnastics scene, So I wasn't sure if those two
419
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.759
were combined. So there's something new. Yes. So now the backdrop of
420
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:21.799
this is the Larry Nasser situation in
that Michigan State for years, knowingly or
421
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:25.559
unknowingly, you know, was a
haven for Larry Nasser to just do horrible
422
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:30.359
things to girls and so, and
there was a culture of cover up and
423
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.680
everything else. So they brought in
at oh what, well in sports,
424
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.920
I mean that was gymnastics. But
yeah, and so they brought in a
425
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:44.920
woman to basically be the compliance officer, not only a Title nine compliance offers,
426
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.200
to make sure that there was good
reporting, that there was no retribution
427
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.599
against people who were making claims anything
else. Well, evidently she and Mel
428
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.079
Tucker, the head football coach of
Michigan State, became friends to the point
429
00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:02.599
where he was masturbating on while on
the phone with her. Did you say
430
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:07.079
they were friends? Well, they
were friendly? I guess was this was
431
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:14.680
this his really really horrible attempt at
getting out of the friend zone. You
432
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:19.920
know, I don't who knows.
And and of all, I don't care
433
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:24.880
if if she was begging you,
you just like she is the compliant,
434
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:29.240
like she's not going to lose in
this situation. No, and I would,
435
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.000
well, first of all, if
I'm melt Tucker, the head football
436
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:35.079
coach at Michigan State. The first
thing I would be thinking of is my
437
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:39.400
is my ten year, ninety five
million dollar contract. The second thing I
438
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:46.400
would be considering is if the title
nine compliance officer for the university. If
439
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:50.880
Trey, like you said, she
was begging me, Oh yeah, I
440
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:52.319
want you to do this, I
want you to do that. I want
441
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:54.400
you to do I would assume it's
a test, and if I fail that
442
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:58.640
test, I'm out of my ninety
five million dollars. I'm not going to
443
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:00.599
assume, oh yeah, she wants
me. No, I'm gonna so much
444
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.680
a test and I should pass it. I didn't know again, like with
445
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:06.880
you, Dad, I didn't know
which scandal we were talking about. So
446
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.920
I read a little bit about this, and I think, what the the
447
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:14.400
angle that met? I just love
saying mel Tucker because it's just it's just
448
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:17.799
such an old like nobody there's no
fresh Mels coming out anymore, Like there's
449
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:22.279
nobody nobody's naming a kid Mel anymore. It's like we're done with Mels,
450
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:28.119
and Barbara's like there's no there's no
more Rod Faith. I think I think
451
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.680
what's old becomes new again. I
think I think Melvin may make a comeback.
452
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.559
Something I don't. I don't think. I don't think there's kids being
453
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.279
born today, Like there's a guy
has a daughter and he's like, you
454
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.519
know the name of Ronda like that. I think those names are gone.
455
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:44.319
But mel I now, I don't
know how much of this is what his
456
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:45.920
perception was, or what the truth
is, or if it was just a
457
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:52.519
bad breakup. The his take on
it, this was a consensual phone sex
458
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:58.559
thing between the fact that they were
an item behind the scenes and he's he's
459
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:02.160
married it, I believe, yes, and again again it goes back into
460
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:07.679
the yes. But behind the scenes, I think it was, uh,
461
00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:13.920
we kept it a secret because she
is the compliance officer, and that's why
462
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:17.599
we kept it a secret. And
I think when and also because he's married,
463
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:21.320
so it would make sense if they
were having a relationship to keep it
464
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:29.079
quiet for those two reasons. And
ninety five million dollars two okay, yeah,
465
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:30.679
and in like the second year of
that ten year, ninety five million
466
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:36.719
dollar contract. But okay, yeah, well, well we'll say all of
467
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:43.280
that stipulate you're still you're you're now
the head coach of a major college football
468
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.079
program. So obviously you have some
semblance of intelligence and everything else. And
469
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:52.800
you you're married, so you know
that if stuff goes south, that you're
470
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.639
dealing with someone who could absolutely wreck
your life. Yes, but you also
471
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:01.199
but you've also both of you guys
have also just hit on everything beforehand.
472
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:05.239
When you're like, they have the
power to cover things up. There is
473
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.440
a history of cover ups. There
is a history of burying things. So
474
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:13.239
when you see this, you're okay. First of all, men saying that
475
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:15.880
he could possibly feel invincible. Yeah, and and and also when it comes
476
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.760
to men being more intelligent when it
comes to the fairst sex. Uh,
477
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:23.239
I didn't say more. I didn't
say more intelligent. No, no,
478
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:28.880
And he's like for that situation said
football terms. Yeah, you're like you
479
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:30.480
like he got to where he is, he's got to be somewhat intelligent when
480
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:36.320
it comes to like men and women, like we've started wars because of like
481
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:39.280
for women's sake, like to garner
their attention. We're not the brightest.
482
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:44.400
When he will do pretty much anything
at our disposal to get late. Yeah,
483
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:46.920
there's a great there's a great interview
with remember Stevo from Jackass, like
484
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:50.199
he was he liked this girl in
high school and he thought she was the
485
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:53.199
cutest thing in the world, and
he was wanting her to ditch class with
486
00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:55.320
him, and she's like, well, we can't. We don't have an
487
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:58.920
excuse to get out. So he
ripped a tooth out of his mouth.
488
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:01.840
Uh, and he's gush, like, just physically ripped the twoth out of
489
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:07.000
his mouth and like asked to be
excused from class to go to the nurse
490
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:09.119
and thought, and he goes his
last words where he goes, Man,
491
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:13.880
she didn't think that was cool.
Like I'm like, okay, yeah,
492
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:17.199
most women don't want to make out
with you know, blood soaked. Yeah,
493
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:20.559
and so we're not the brightest when
it comes to it. I think
494
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.079
he went, if I keep it
quiet, you know, she's also she
495
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:27.199
could I mean, she could stand
to lose too. She's a compliance officer
496
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.840
and we're having a relationship. But
also it's me and they just signed me
497
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:36.079
to ninety five million dollars. They're
gonna do whatever it's gonna take. And
498
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:39.079
I think he's thinking of that time
back in those days when that was the
499
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:42.400
top of the list, like,
hey, we keep all of this quiet,
500
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.280
shut up about it, because we
have ninety five million dollars to lose.
501
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:47.280
And now we're in a different time
where it's like, hey, listen,
502
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:52.840
we gotta call it for what it
is. Yeah, but this you,
503
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.679
you are the head coach of a
major program. You have ninety five
504
00:36:55.679 --> 00:37:00.960
million dollars. Of all the women
that you decide to have an affair with,
505
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:05.920
there there are very few that really
could topple you, but the one,
506
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:10.960
because you know she was brought in, she already has outstanding credibility.
507
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:15.920
And all it takes is one fight
and you're screwed. All it takes is
508
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:19.559
one fighter. Hey, where do
you want to what do you want tonight?
509
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:23.960
And it ends up, Oh yeah, I had you. You were
510
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:27.639
playing with yourself on the phone.
I'm gonna go tell everyone. No,
511
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:29.800
It's like the fight is like,
you know, what do you want to
512
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:30.840
have for dinner night? Whatever you
have with your wife the other night?
513
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:37.960
Like that's what and you you you
said something and I think you mentioned backwards
514
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:40.519
because you said of all the women
you could have an affair with, you
515
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:44.360
do mean when it comes to him, of all the women that would have
516
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:46.039
an affair with you, like,
like, I don't know, there's not
517
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:49.920
a lot of people going around like, you know, I'm banging mel Let's
518
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.519
see that. No. Here's the
thing though, but there are and that's
519
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:57.280
the other side of this is where
the two of you actually coincide with the
520
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:00.559
two sides of the things that you're
saying. He feels invincible because he's powerful,
521
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:04.559
he's a big football coach, and
they'll cover up anything. And then
522
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:07.079
Trey's also saying it's like, well, this this, this is a powerful
523
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:13.320
and rich man. There are plenty
of options for powerful men on a campus
524
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:19.280
where you have you have undergrad you
have assistance, you there's a student body
525
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:24.800
there. You're not shortage of there's
no shortage of options of all the people
526
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:30.519
that you decide you're going to risk
everything. The one that like, yeah,
527
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:31.920
if it was some grad student,
you know, assistant, Yeah,
528
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:35.159
he could probably bully her, pay
her off with one hundred grand and this
529
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:38.679
goes away. You pick the one
where if she goes ballistic on you,
530
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:44.039
you're screwed because she she can take
you down, like she was brought in
531
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:46.440
just for this very purpose to bring
you down. Anyone who was going to
532
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:51.159
do this. Yeah, and and
and you know again, I always say,
533
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:52.719
like, let it all play out
and if it turns into a lover's
534
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:59.519
spat or whatever, but if it
is legitimate, like if in that situation,
535
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:04.800
like and I don't know because I've
never done something like that. Uh,
536
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:07.400
what were they like what were they
talking about? Like that he felt
537
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:10.360
the need to do, Like if
that was the case, Like it couldn't
538
00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:15.039
have been, like hey, let's
talk about like the next compliance like the
539
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.280
next seminar that we have about sexual
assault and how to, how to,
540
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.360
how to, how to catch sexual
assault, know that it's happened to you
541
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:27.119
or whatever, how to report it
whatever. What is going on there where
542
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:30.800
you feel compelled to do that?
If if not for they were, as
543
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:35.599
he said, having a mutual phone
sex thing and this turned into to whatever
544
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:37.639
it's turned into. I do like
this. I could actually see that that
545
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:42.599
conversation getting awkward pretty fast. Is
she's trying to go through the bullet points
546
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:45.599
of the next compliance meeting for Title
nine purposes and his responses, what are
547
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:59.000
you wearing? Assumed? What kind
law? At the end of the day,
548
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:00.800
I'll be very curious to see how
it turns out. But as it
549
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:06.920
is, he's he's done, and
he's he's been suspended. They're gonna end
550
00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:09.719
up firing him, and uh,
it's yeah, and then that school just
551
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:15.119
cannot No school can really tolerate it. But at Michigan State with the Larry
552
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:19.800
Naster stuff, really really has to
be firm. Sorry for the punt on
553
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:23.199
this. Yeah. And and I
love the fact that they start suspending him
554
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:27.719
without pay because normally what they'll do
to kind of like play kate the whole
555
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:30.480
thing. It's like, hey,
we're gonna suspend you like in the media,
556
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:34.760
but we'll still keep giving you your
salary. Uh. And this one,
557
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:37.360
I think when you're like, you're
right, I think they're gonna I
558
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:39.599
think he's done because they're like,
listen, we're not giving any more money.
559
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:45.639
Yeah, because basically saying we're gonna
keep the remainder of your contractor yeah.
560
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:47.639
And then I don't know, like
and then in my head, I'm
561
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:52.719
like, I don't know where you
It's situations like this song, where do
562
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:54.480
you go? What do you do
after? Like like you can't it's not
563
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:57.480
like you can go, Like you
can't go to high school and like,
564
00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:59.840
hey, man, I used to
coach at Michigan State. You can.
565
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:02.239
I mean like yeah, but you're
not allowed to have a phone, Like
566
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:07.960
you, but you were allegedly beaten
off on the phone with the compliance officers.
567
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.880
So we don't know how you're going
to fit in with the guidance counselors
568
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:14.480
in high school. If this is
what he does to a compliance officer,
569
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:21.320
I can't imagine what he would do
to a parole officer. There will be
570
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:24.760
some small school that will, you
know, go, oh wait, we
571
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:30.079
can have him. And I worked
for Art Briles leaving Baylor will but just
572
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:32.719
for a second, I mean,
Art Briles was still the pariah of I
573
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:38.599
mean Christ. They got like the
offensive coordinator Oklahoma has been skewered this week
574
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:43.599
just for having Art Briles on the
field on Saturday at the Oklahoma game.
575
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:46.760
Like the point is someone someone still
hired him. Oh yeah, they thought,
576
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:49.400
oh yeah, we can get away
with this, and then you know
577
00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:52.119
every place I mean I think what
the Canadian Football League, and then I
578
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:57.559
think maybe Liberty or someone like that
Liberty University. There there there are there
579
00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:00.920
are to me, there are you
know, there are many categories of cockroach
580
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:07.559
occupations. One is football coach and
another one is bad radio shows. They
581
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:12.840
always seem to find a way to
get hired despite all the evidence being to
582
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:17.280
the contrary that they'll have any modicum
of success. But it only takes one
583
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:24.320
program director or one athletic director to
say, you know what, I like
584
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:28.639
this. I like it. I'm
gonna make this decision. I'm gonna hire
585
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:32.079
this guy. You think Mel has
a You think Mel has a brewery.
586
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.000
I think everyone's got a brewery these
days. I'm shocked we don't have one.
587
00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:43.559
We should start one. I mean, we were already branching out with
588
00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:50.920
a football podcast. Why not a
treehouse brewery run by run by a current
589
00:42:50.960 --> 00:43:00.440
functional alcoholic, an Indian uh son
of immigrants from this heat, and a
590
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:05.000
bona fide alcoholic who's been sober for
seven years. If that's not If that's
591
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.440
not a recipe for success for an
alcohol brand, I don't know what is.
592
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:17.039
Yeah, three unwise men muster fu
draft will be the most entertaining.
593
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:22.719
Yeah, there's no doubt I'll put
the India in. I PA, Let's
594
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:30.000
do Ours is actually authentic because Rogers
the Indian trey is pale, and I'm
595
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:39.920
drinking the ale. Normally, this
is where I would end the show.
596
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:44.480
But there's one more thing that I
want to touch on again. Sorry for
597
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:49.840
the pun. Here in the very
first episode of the Treehouse Football Podcast,
598
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:55.159
when that is we started the show
with a surprise of the Cowboys putting up
599
00:43:55.199 --> 00:44:00.079
forty points and shutting out the Giants
in week one, the surprise of Aaron
600
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:04.920
Rodgers not being able to complete his
first offensive series as a New York Jet.
601
00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:09.679
And now my question for you,
mister Trenholm, is this, Actually
602
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:15.119
I'm sorry. Now my question for
you, Raj is this who do you
603
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:25.159
think was more surprised that Trey's Longhorn's
upset Alabama? Alabama or Tray? I'm
604
00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:31.920
gonna go with Tray. Really you
so you think Alabama was less surprised getting
605
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:38.000
beat at home by eleventh ranked ut
than Trey, who was saying before the
606
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:43.679
game to me via text message,
Yeah, it doesn't look good. They're
607
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:46.880
not ready for that hostile environment.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like
608
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:52.320
when I think of when I think
of the ultimate optimist, Trenholme doesn't come
609
00:44:52.360 --> 00:45:00.280
to mind. So if you're giving
me the option of one trend home versus
610
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:05.039
eighty eight thousand people in the stadium
in Alabama, I'm going with Trent.
611
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:15.440
Yeah, I I I've watched I
think the quarterback I think for for ut.
612
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:19.400
Uh, I'm just glad he cut
his hair. Uh. I know,
613
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:22.480
his eyes on an old Cromle.
I'm like the bullet thing whatever.
614
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:27.400
I don't understand that coming back.
But he looks good, man, I
615
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.320
like the guy. The team looks
good. I'm not gonna lie to you.
616
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:32.239
You know, for someone like that, that may have been one of
617
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:38.800
the more impressive things as yours,
because he's been just burrated about his performance
618
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:43.639
last year. And you know,
you have I forgot that there's one quarterback
619
00:45:43.679 --> 00:45:45.079
he's supposed to be great, but
then you have Arch Manning and the wings
620
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:50.079
and so there's a huge amount of
pressure. There are a lot of people
621
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.719
were like why is he even starting? And uh, And then you know,
622
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:58.440
you go into Alabama and I mean
it was the worst home loss Nickson
623
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:02.159
like, first time they've had a
non conference home loss in like twenty years
624
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:07.960
and worst loss Sabans had since like
h three. And they just physically dominated
625
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:13.199
Alabama And no, I would have
bet everything that that would not was not
626
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:15.760
gonna happen. And you know,
and I'm not sure, I'm not sure
627
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:21.639
who I feel worse for u Nick
Saban's soul that I'm convinced he's sold to
628
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:24.519
the devil many years ago, or
the sack of puppies that I assume that
629
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:32.079
he bludgeoned after the game. No
puppies were harmed in the making of this
630
00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:38.480
podcast as far as we know.
No, he wouldn't surprise me if if
631
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:42.960
Nick Saban was the Grilla Deville of
college football. Yeah, no, no,
632
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:46.159
no, he looks like he looks
like he like like the players didn't
633
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:50.599
get to eat that night, Like
like that's what like like you couldn't win
634
00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:53.199
or you're gonna eat one of the
two talking about talking about not having a
635
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:55.800
response from your friends. We were
talking about the Cowboys and Giants and checking
636
00:46:55.840 --> 00:47:00.239
on your Giants friends. I have
three Alabama friends, two of which I
637
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:05.280
still have not heard from. And
I was and I wasn't even talking crap
638
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:08.000
to him during the game. And
I one of them who I knew he
639
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:13.519
was at the game, like he
is a big Alabama alumni booster, and
640
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:16.199
I was like, are you okay? Like I didn't see that one coming.
641
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:20.119
You know it's gonna be And as
a Texas fan, I can offer
642
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:25.440
the perspective of disappointment. It's what
we know, and especially early season disappointment
643
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:28.679
and I'm like, it's okay,
you know, y'all can still come back
644
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:31.400
from this. It's it's it's early
and he was responsive. No, he
645
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:35.800
still has not responded. So that's
two of your three Alabama fans you have
646
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:37.559
not heard from. I have not
heard from my Giant fan either. Is
647
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:42.000
it possible that those Bama fans somehow
found their way into the puppy sack?
648
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:51.599
Or didn't they No one tends to
use them. Now, Joe might have
649
00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:57.159
been so distraught that he put himself
in the puppy sack. Just it's sort
650
00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:01.280
of like an offering up to he's
got a sacrifice if this mean Alabama will
651
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:06.639
win for a first first loss,
like that, he has to sacrifice a
652
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:08.679
boosts. He just he just kneels
down in front of He just kneels down
653
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:15.000
in front of Nick Saban. He
said, roll tide. Now you're being
654
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:20.719
silly. He's gotta kneel down at
Saban's altar that he does have. Like
655
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:22.760
we know he's got this, like
he's got a dungeon with an altar and
656
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:27.599
he just sits there and he waits
for them to sacrifice their their first booster.
657
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:35.360
Yeah, I like it. I
again, I was I was stunned,
658
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:37.039
but I was very optimistic going into
it. I was like, you
659
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:40.599
know what this could be. There's
always that great upset. Yeah, in
660
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:44.519
the early weeks of college football.
And I told Trey before the game,
661
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:47.079
I said, look, I have
no dog in this fight. Like we
662
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:51.360
mentioned at the beginning of the show, I didn't go to college to cheer
663
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.280
for a football team because I went
to UT arlankedon that didn't have one.
664
00:48:54.199 --> 00:49:00.519
I went actually for broadcasting stuff,
and so I don't have a favorite college
665
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:04.079
team on any sport whatever. I
just like to watch a good game.
666
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:07.920
What I told Trade before this game
is I'm not cheering for your Longhorns.
667
00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:10.679
I hope the best for you as
my friend, and I actually do think.
668
00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:14.400
I don't know if I didn't think
Texas was going to win the game,
669
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:17.400
but my hope was that they would
because if they do, it's good
670
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:23.760
for college football as a whole.
It's very sad for those puppies in office,
671
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:28.360
but it's good for the rest of
college football. If Bama loses to
672
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:31.880
Texas at home. Uh yeah,
I mean I I was, you know,
673
00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:35.079
I was gonna go to UT.
I was accepted, UT ended up
674
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.800
going to Southwest Texas State, which
is in the state, you know,
675
00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:42.559
Texas state school institutions. If you
could compare them to the Jackson five Texas
676
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:47.599
states teed up. So what would
so well, then what would ut Arlington
677
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:59.679
be? Would just be like cousin, No one even knows he could have
678
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:05.679
said Jackson the never saying look,
I don't know if the two of you
679
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:13.840
have realized this, but I'm not
exactly arguing there. It is episode number

Welcome to the Treehouse Football Podcast,
Episode number one, season number one.
2
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.880
I'm not gonna focus too much on
the season number one because I don't know
3
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.320
if we'll you know, go into
a second season or not. But Treehouse
4

Football Podcast number one, Yeah,
welcome, Welcome to it. I'm Dan
5
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.000
ol Malley along with Trey Trenholme.
You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna rephrase
6
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:37.159
that, I'm Dan o'm malley along
with UT alum Trey Trenholme, and not
7
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.799
Texas State but Southwest Texas State alum
Raj Sharmah. There you go. I
8
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.240
didn't throw mine in because I went
to UT Arlington for all of a year
9
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.000
and a half and we didn't even
have a football team, So why even
10
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:56.600
mention it? Unless we start doing
a Treehouse Wheelchair Basketball podcast. My college
11
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.039
has no bearing in this show.
The comment is it? The comments?
12
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.599
Is that what you guys know?
Well, it's the it's the It's Uta
13
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.120
Mavericks, Mavericks. Okay, the
comments. The wheelchair team is unless they've
14
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.599
changed. It is the moving maths, the moving maths. All right,
15
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.719
Okay, don't they they have a
pretty good basketball team, now, don't
16
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.599
they? They do? They do? I I'll admit I haven't followed it
17
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.359
a whole lot. I'm not sure
who was more surprised about the new basketball
18
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.560
arena, the basketball team or anyone
that ever went to UTA and we had
19
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.840
a nice little upset over Baylor.
Southwest Texas or Texas State defeated Baylor in
20
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.200
their home open. Well, that's
exciting. Maybe we can get into that
21
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.719
when we touch on the college side
of football growing up in the all New
22
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.239
Treehouse Football podcast The Treehouse, We've
decided to branch out because we're not busy
23
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.439
enough, or we apparently don't say
enough. As it is twice a week
24
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.120
during the Treehouse Podcast, we feel
the need to also flood your ears with
25
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.719
our sports thoughts. So here we
are. I like, go when you
26
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.079
said we're not busy enough, and
I just thought Trey's head turned like eiel
27
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.080
Mally, I haven't slept in three
days. I feel like elvit's on a
28
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:14.840
bender. Well, that means you
probably appear to have more energy than the
29
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:21.080
Giants offensive line did this last week
for you. Speaking of surprises, was
30
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:25.639
anybody's surprised by the Cowboys victory Sunday
Night in the season opener over the Giants?
31
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.479
Forty to nothing. How could you
not be? I mean, I
32
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:38.039
don't know about surprised, more of
like the just the moments that we're just
33
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.280
never ending in the game, Like
the moments of like oh okay, I
34
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.039
didn't see that coming. Oh I
didn't know that was gonna happen. Oh,
35
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.240
just that over and over again.
By the end of it, I
36
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.240
was tired. Well, I was
tired after the first I'd say six or
37
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.759
seven minutes. However long it took
for the Giants to march down the field
38
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.080
and then the Cowboys to block that
kick, return it for a touchdown,
39
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:06.599
and when Trey and I were texting
each other, missed the extra point to
40
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.039
take a six nothing lead, to
which Trey responded, that was the most
41
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:15.199
Cowboys sequence ever. And he was
not wrong. Right then and there,
42
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.120
I thought, oh no, they've
picked up right where they left off last
43
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.759
season, which is do something good
and then just look like a total idiot
44
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.800
right after it. Yeah, but
I mean, to their credit, you
45
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.360
have the kid Aubrey I think is
his last name, that there is a
46
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.520
place kicker now has in God love
him for it. Had never kicked in
47
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.919
the NFL. I don't think he
kicked in college. He was uh,
48
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.639
he was a soccer player, and
he was drafted in the first round of
49
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.599
Major League Soccer and then I think
he went to the USFL for Birmingham because
50
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:53.800
he was in the USFL and May
missed only one field goal attempt that previous
51
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:58.719
season, and to his credit,
he missed that one. Because I'm sure
52
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.080
this is what the conversation was on
the sideline when that happened, because when
53
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:06.120
I heard like his background, you
know, the USFL is vastly different than
54
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.280
the NFL. Right, So hey, hang on, Trey, let's look
55
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.800
that. Yeah, that that there
is a that is a hot take there.
56
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:18.839
That is a John Madden take.
That That is the kind of professional
57
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:24.720
take you will get here on the
Treehouse Football podcast. Right. The NFL
58
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.160
is harder than the USFL. Let's
just send the show right there. They're
59
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.040
both, they're both, they're both
professional football. I'm just saying those are
60
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.439
very John Madden as like two of
these, out of these two teams,
61
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:38.040
one's gotta win. Like, that's
a that's the Madden take. Yeah.
62
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.560
The only thing you're missing is is
the marker on the screen and a Turkey
63
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.040
leg and athletes would endorsement, right, So there's four things. Yeah,
64
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.240
and then you know, he misses
the one kick and that's his first time
65
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.319
to kick in the NFL. And
I'm sure he went to the sideline.
66
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:57.560
They're like, you know, he
can still fire you right like like probably
67
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:02.519
again, and then we will leave
you here. There is there is precedent
68
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.519
in in Cowboys history where you f
up bad enough, they will not let
69
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.959
you on the plane to go back
to Texas. Yeah, it's one of
70
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.839
those like you're gonna be a giant
or homeless, so don't don't miss another
71
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:19.279
kick. And then I was reading
the stats of the game, and it
72
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.680
was, you know, the blocked
the block field goal for the touchdown return,
73
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.279
and the shutout and then this and
and all of those things, and
74
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.480
they combined it to no other NFL
team has ever suffered all of those things
75
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:36.720
in one season, let alone in
one game. So who gets who gets
76
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.240
more credit for them the Cowboys for
having forced it upon the Giants or the
77
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:48.680
Giants just kind of looking like a
Benny Hill skit. I want to see
78
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:54.759
that game set to that music.
I like that because you could have just
79
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.920
had you could have had the old, the old Benny Hill music playing just
80
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:05.560
on repeat of watching watching Danny Dimes
run around all over the field away from
81
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:13.600
the Cowboys defense. I just I
flashed back to last week with one of
82
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:19.040
the ESPN guys whose theory was to
run at to do everything at Michael Parsons,
83
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.319
Like that's what he wants. That
was his suggestion to every team is
84
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.600
you want to go directly to him. And I'm like, after watching that
85
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.199
game, I'm like, I'd like
for you to just say that again,
86
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.959
because that didn't seem to work if
that was your philosophy on how to defeat
87
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.959
the Cowboys or or beat their defense
is to run at, run the ball
88
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.720
at Michael Parsons. The other surprise
in this game was that Trey, I
89
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.279
think you and I in our little
text exchange during the game, we touched
90
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.759
on this as well. So the
Cowboys throw up forty points, but if
91
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:58.360
we're being honest, the offense was
kind of me, Oh yeah, yeah,
92
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.480
I don't I don't think that was
disputed in any way. I don't
93
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.439
know. It's just typically what you
would do is if for some reason you
94
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.399
were just going through the box scores
or you didn't have to watch the game,
95
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.360
and you see the Cowboys beat the
Giants on the road forty to nothing
96
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.480
on Sunday night, You're like,
oh my god, their offense clearly just
97
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.360
lit it up, when in reality, no, they just they just kind
98
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.720
of went about the day just like
oh, we're here too, just kind
99
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:26.040
of hanging out. The offensive stats
for the game were very pedestrian for Dallas.
100
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.240
Like when you look at the score, do you go forty nothing?
101
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.680
You think you know, they would
have you know, Dak would have thrown
102
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.920
for four hundred yards and they had
all these standout performances and you just didn't.
103
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.399
I mean, and that's you know, the Giants that first drive up
104
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.600
until that last sequence, they were
moving the ball at will and you're going,
105
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.680
all right, this is gonna be
you know, one of those things
106
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:46.720
that's gonna be back and forth,
back and forth, and you know,
107
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.040
come down to a field goal,
and then it's like and then you go,
108
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.759
well, were the cowboys? Like? You know, sometimes they'll run
109
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.879
set plays, like the first ten
plays of offense are already scheduled. I
110
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.279
don't know if they do that on
the defense where they do, and that
111
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.480
then all of a sudden they made
adjustments and they just overwhelmed the Giants.
112
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.920
I don't because it's like, what's
that field goal got blocked? It's like
113
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.399
the entire will just got sucked out
of that team and then it was then
114
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.319
it was the Benny Hill Show of
just and then poor. I've never thought
115
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.079
I would feel sorry for Daniel Jones, but by the end of that game,
116
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.560
I'm Dan and I are texting,
I'm going like they got to take
117
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.399
him out, like yeah, it's
like they've got one hundred and sixty something
118
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.439
million and wrapped up in that guy. Yeah, and he to his like
119
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.399
he just took a beating. He
did and he could have come out looking
120
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.639
way worse. Despite the fact that
Trey you're saying you feel bad for Daniel
121
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.840
Jones and how he's running for his
life in that game, I feel bad
122
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.840
for Daniel Jones because to me,
I can't look to me, Daniel Jones
123
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:56.000
looks like a Beaker on assessment.
So I pondered this question and I see,
124
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.000
now, yeah, I can't either. It's kind of like, uh
125
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.639
so, in addition into Daniel Jones
looking like Beaker from Sesame Street, it
126
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.039
is Sesame Street, right or is
it? Or the Muppet Show? The
127
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.879
Muppet Show? Yeah, all right. In addition to Daniel Jones looking like
128
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:18.279
Beaker from the Muppets. Uh old
Giants coach Tom Coughlin. One day watching
129
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.120
a game, I saw Tom Coughlin
and all of a sudden, all I
130
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:31.639
could see was he looked exactly like
Jeff Dunham's Walter Muppet, sort of like
131
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.080
how uh, sort of sort of
like, how got Daniel Baker Jones?
132
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:48.360
You've got Tom, don't call me
Walter Coughlin and Sean Blue Steel Peyton.
133
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.480
Once you see those things, you
can't unsee them, so like I remember,
134
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.320
yeah, I just I was wondering
if there's something because I was looking
135
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.200
at Daniel Jones and then I was
like, is there something with the Giants
136
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.159
helmets? Because it almost gave him
stupid face? Like yeah, Eli,
137
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.639
it's like Giants helmets. I think
you really as soon as as soon as
138
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.360
a human quarterback puts on that Giant's
helmet, they just immediately go dirt.
139
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.639
I just a buddy of mine is
from Yonkers, New York, and he's
140
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:33.240
a Giants fan forever, and this
is when like and we trash talk every
141
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:39.399
single time the Cowboys and the Giants
play. And I didn't get a response
142
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.320
back from him for this game.
I just I texted. All I said
143
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.720
is after and again, like you
said, after that block field goal,
144
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.639
the not only did the will go, I think you could feel the energy
145
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.399
get sucked out of that stadium.
I think I think at that point,
146
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.799
if you have any Giants fans after
that game or actually somewhere in the middle
147
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.159
of the third quarter, was the
time too, as they say, check
148
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.200
on your Giants friends. Yes,
and so I just after that, after
149
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.519
that block field goal, Uh,
I go, man, you guys are
150
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:16.000
looking and I just stopped there the
ellipses ouch. Uh. And then we
151
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.120
missed that the extra point and I
got nothing back, and I was like,
152
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.639
oh, this is interesting. He
normally this would be right, this
153
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.159
would be the appropriate time for him
to go. And you were saying,
154
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.279
and then obviously he would have been
correct. Yeah, And then the rest
155
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:35.039
of the game happened, and then
he just exactly so, just so,
156
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.600
just when you thought things couldn't get
any worse for the city and state of
157
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:46.600
New York and their football teams,
Monday night comes around. Yes, and
158
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.759
the team that the Cowboys play next, the Jets. Their big splash offseason
159
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:56.960
move is getting Aaron Rodgers. They
they they pulled Brett Farve, you know,
160
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:01.240
part two and build the Packers quarterback
over to the Jets. And how
161
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.240
long ended the game was? It
was it even five minutes. The most
162
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:09.080
running Aaron Rodgers did before he tore
what we think is a torn achilles was
163
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:16.480
him carrying the flag running out onto
the field during the pregame stuff. Yeah,
164
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.840
that you know, And and I
feel I feel bad for him.
165
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.200
I mean, poor guy. I
mean really, here's why, Like he's
166
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.799
done this whole Ayawaska journey and apparently
he used to be a tremendous a hole
167
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.159
and now he's like gone back to
like former players in Green Bay and like
168
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.240
apologized and you know, he's got
his his his spiritual side is there.
169
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.399
Like he's apologized to his family,
like he really Yeah have they Have they
170
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.879
accepted it? Because I believe so. Yeah, because even even the brother.
171
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:46.679
Yeah, so that the whole thing, because he was on the Bachelor.
172
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.279
When he's on the Bachelor and he
was his brother, Jordan Rodgers,
173
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.320
and he ended up marrying the girl
from Dallas. Yeah, and like and
174
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.840
one of the girls that he took
home is like footy, think Aaron's gonna
175
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.960
be here and he's like he hasn't
been here in eight years. Still stop
176
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.639
asking, Like, yeah, I
think he's like he's I think he showed
177
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.399
up to his family's thing for the
holidays, like that was the thing.
178
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.600
Uh, And like he here's his
moment, like he's gone through the spiritual
179
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.000
journey and I and I admire that, and I'm like, good for you.
180
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.159
And he's made amends and and all
of those goods. And he's got
181
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.240
a new team. He just bought
a new house, like eight million dollars
182
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.360
new house. So it turns out
you can make all the amends you want,
183
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.320
but Carmen is still gonna get you. But the turf is a bitch.
184
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:33.679
Yeah he didn't. He didn't make
amends with the astro turf Diddy Somewhere
185
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.720
somewhere in somewhere in that stadium,
the turf monster, the turf Monster of
186
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.840
New York was like, m he
didn't apologize to me. Been playing on
187
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.919
grass this whole time, Hum,
bitch somewhere below the turf monsters saying,
188
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.720
now is my time I've been waiting
for you, keep calling me fake grass?
189
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:03.679
How's your foot like? And then
that moment hit and you could see
190
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.080
it on his face, and I
was like yeah, and they you know,
191
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.519
the whole game, just speculation until
the press conference when it's like it
192
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.080
looks it doesn't look good. I
remember the next the next morning, seeing
193
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.279
a slow motion replay and they had
it zoomed in on his lower leg and
194
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.600
you could see the line down the
back of his leg just kind of just
195
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.879
kind of wobble in a way that
is in no way natural. Yeah.
196
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.039
Everyone looking at that's like, yeah, he's done. Yeah. And then
197
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.759
you can see the if you watch
it again, and I'm sure you can
198
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.000
go back and look at you can
see the recoil rolls up into into the
199
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.720
back of his leg and and and
then his and then just his face was
200
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:46.279
like I'm done. And somebody I
can't remember I was watching ESPN his earliest
201
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.000
morning and they're like, well's he's
definitely gonna come back, Like this is
202
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.240
not the way he wanted it to
go. It's a really really hard injury
203
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.279
didn't come back from. Yeah,
it's a full year type of situation.
204
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.000
Yeah, and then to and then
to get back and then just the trepidation
205
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.519
of getting back on that uh and
then yeah, I you know as much
206
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.159
he's gonna have it, He's gonna
have about a year to make amends with
207
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.879
the turf Monster. Yeah, that's
what I'm like. Maybe he can go
208
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.960
on another iowaspan journey and then the
turf Monster and him can hug it out
209
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.840
on on a celestial plane somewhere.
Uh, and then maybe next year he
210
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:26.399
comes back and actually last longer than
four plays. Jets fans are a special
211
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.519
bunch because I don't know any Like
they were so excited before the season started.
212
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:37.720
I mean, and if it is
the most Jets thing ever of you've
213
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.799
just you've got arguably, you know, one of the best quarterbacks ever played
214
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.440
the game, and you're like,
oh, this is our year, this
215
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:56.759
is our chance. We've in four
plays j e. But for the undrafted
216
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:03.240
kid from from Stephen Fos and to
to win that game, uh in overtime,
217
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.799
like that was like if you if
you saw the Hard Knocks story about
218
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.799
him, he basically forced his way
onto that team, say forced or forrested
219
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:17.320
because he don't no, no,
he know, but he both I like
220
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:22.519
football. He forced his way on
basically onto that team, and and you
221
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.679
know they got the win, and
then that was I guess a morale was
222
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.240
I don't know what they're gonna do
in that position that that quarterback is clearly
223
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:34.279
uh eleven years old, he's eleven
years old and that but that, but
224
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.039
that was the best Zach Martin's played. Like I was actually I think that
225
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.159
I watched some of that game.
You said, Zach Martin, you mean
226
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.159
Zech Wilson, Zach Wilson. Yeah, and uh, I mean compared,
227
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:48.840
But to be fair trade, Zach
Martin also did the really good in the
228
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:55.879
Cowboys games. And I might take
him as quarterback over Zach Wilson. But
229
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.399
look, if you're the Jets,
all options are on the table because the
230
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.000
truth what exach, what is this
a second or third year? Uh?
231
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:08.599
Two? Yeah, I mean the
good thing here about the Treehouse Football Podcast
232
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.559
is we're not gonna bar you with
a bunch of knowledge. No, we're
233
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.640
not gonna borry you with a bunch
of knowledge and hard information. A lot
234
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.160
of us gonna be conjecture and a
lot of just you know, feelings.
235
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.599
Yeah, you can go to you
can go listen to that crap anywhere else.
236
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.400
This is gonna be fun, exactly. This is gonna be fun.
237
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.599
Yeah, And it was Zach Wilson. You could have said, Zach Morris
238
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.519
I would be like, they look
the same. I don't even care.
239
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.480
But they both got saved by the
belt. I don't care. Out,
240
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.079
Yeah, they have the head coach
turns and he's just on that that the
241
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:45.519
cordless phone. I gotta do what
he just freezes time. Yes, he
242
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.640
has to turn to one of the
cheerleaders and make sure she's off the caffeine
243
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:53.599
pills before he can get into the
game. But I mean, yeah,
244
00:17:53.799 --> 00:18:00.279
year two and good, and I
hope they find a replacement rather quickly because
245
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.759
he won the game. And that
was a team effort. Again, you
246
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.079
could feel that, like that fourth
that when he got off the field,
247
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:10.160
when Aaron Rodgers got off the field, that whole stadium was like, and
248
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.440
so do we go now to beat
traffic? Like that? That was a
249
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.440
sense of the building. And then
they did what they did and they had
250
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.240
that one again. And Wilson,
I don't know his first name, but
251
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:25.480
uh, that catch in the end
zone, which that that bobbled uh catch
252
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.759
that he just caught laying on his
back on the ground was brilliant highlight real
253
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.920
number number two. I think it's
is what it took over. Well,
254
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:34.599
you know what's sad about that is
I didn't even see that. In some
255
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.440
of the clips on social media the
next morning, it was all Aaron Rodgers
256
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.799
leg recoiling. Yeah, yeah,
that's that's the that's the story, right.
257
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:48.000
But I hope Rodgers Achilles going the
way of a piano chord. But
258
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.000
yeah, but what if this was
like and and let's let's see if we
259
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:55.240
can call this what if it is
one of those great moments in football history
260
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.799
where this kid who's the backup to
Aaron Rodgers, who got calling to this
261
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.920
game, who is just literally I
don't know how he got out of the
262
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.759
sixth grade to play that night.
I don't know what time it's bedtime is,
263
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:11.119
but it's called it's called the permission
slip roun. Okay, we didn't
264
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.000
we didn't have those. We had
permission to do nothing. So and then
265
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.160
he and he wins. What if
it's like this great I don't know,
266
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.160
what if he like what if they
go all the way, like they go
267
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:23.799
to the dance? Like what if
he is the they're going to go to
268
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:34.960
the dance because it's the sixth grade
social it's a mom mommy sundance. You
269
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.640
just see the image of here's some
you know, some lady over there on
270
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:42.400
the sideline looking at her watch,
going your bedtimes midnight, Zach, you
271
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:48.720
better wrap this up over time.
That's just the reporter from ESPN's like,
272
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:53.079
I'm gonna ask you four questions and
it's night, nighttime. And it's not
273
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.160
a towel that the trainer pulls out
to wipe his face. It's it's just
274
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.720
blanky. Let see the press conference
where he's got a juice box in front
275
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:11.599
of him and his mouth piece is
an actual passifier. The NFL really will
276
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:18.279
put those logos on anything? Is
that a binky? One? Last one,
277
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:23.000
last piece of Cowboys information before before
we move on to the college side
278
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.960
of things. Here on the very
first episode of the Treehouse Football podcast,
279
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:34.640
and that is an allegation against Jerry
Jones for making racially charged comments. There's
280
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.519
a new lawsuit that's been filed against
the NFL by a reporter named Jim Trotter,
281
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:45.960
and he attributes a secondhand racist remark
to Bill's owner Terry Pigoula. As
282
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:52.559
to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Trotter
makes a first hand allegation of inappropriate racially
283
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.400
charged commentary. Do you guys hear
about this ship? Yes? Yeah.
284
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:02.640
Beginning at paragraph one ten of the
complaint, Trotter explains that in the aftermath
285
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.640
of John Gruden's departure from the Raiders
in October twenty twenty one, after the
286
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.799
release of various inappropriate emails, Trotter
planned to share on NFL Now a racist
287
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:15.279
statement that allegedly had been made by
Jones to Trotter at the twenty twenty one
288
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.240
Pro Bowl Hall of Fame game between
the Steelers and the Cowboys. Trotter,
289
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.759
while on the field before the game, was congregating with other reporters. The
290
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:27.319
complaint alleges at one point, mister
Trotter was speaking to Will McClay, the
291
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:33.640
Cowboys vice president of player personnel,
about the fact that NFL teams tend not
292
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.799
to draft many players out of historically
black colleges and universities also known as HBCUs,
293
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.960
and whether that might be due to
the lack of black people in personnel
294
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:47.039
decision making positions like general managers.
Mister Jones joined the conversation and mister Trotter
295
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:52.279
asked why teams had so few black
decision makers, and he says mister Jones
296
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.079
dodged the question and stated that players
get a large percentage of league revenue and
297
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.200
majority of players are black. In
effect, mister Jones was stating that black
298
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.480
people should be quote be happy for
what they have and not seek further advancement
299
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:08.240
of their rights, positions in society, or a quality and mister Jones.
300
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:12.440
Mister Trotter reiterated his question, to
which mister Jones responded, I'm starting to
301
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:18.960
feel a little defensive. However,
notwithstanding jones previous answer on history of conduct,
302
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:21.559
Trotter made it clear that he was
not attacking him or even speaking about
303
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:23.559
the Cowboys, but just asking about
the league in general, and then,
304
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.319
onto paragraph one sixteen of the complaint, mister Jones finally responded, quote,
305
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.920
if blacks feels some kind of way, they should buy their own team and
306
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:36.279
hire who they want to hire.
This is the point at which I would
307
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:41.480
like to point out that Jerry Jones
has denied the allegation and said that it
308
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.599
is inaccurate, and as far as
the Bill's owner, he has said it's
309
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:51.960
completely untrue on his end of things. You know, I don't think this
310
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.000
story will gain any traction, and
it's the same thing. It's why,
311
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.640
you know, in the off season, when the pictures surfaced of Jerry Young
312
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:06.000
Jerry Jones at the when they were
integrating his school in Arkansas, and he
313
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.119
you know, everyone tried to make
a big deal out of it. But
314
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.880
at the end of the day,
I don't think the story has any traction
315
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.599
because I think in general most people
assume that Jerry Jones is kind of a
316
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.200
racist. Thank you, Yes we
do. He's an eight year old Andrew
317
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:23.720
Arkansas. He's you know, that's
that's not that's not shocking. The only
318
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.279
reason it's the headline is because he
owns the Cowboys. I guarantee you there's
319
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:32.279
another eighty year old man in Arkansas
right now saying the same stuff and no
320
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:34.160
one shocked by it because it's an
eight year old whit guy in Arkansas.
321
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:38.319
No, there's there's also a million
eighty year old men across this country.
322
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:44.440
When that statement was made, when
I know, yeah, so, uh
323
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.079
what. Anytime stuff like this comes
out, it just takes me back to
324
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:59.359
when Bill Burr was talking about the
the former owner of uh gosh, I
325
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.279
think it was Golden State. Uh
when when all the racist about Donald Sterling
326
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:08.839
the Clippers, yeahs the Clippers.
Yeah, when he when he said all
327
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.359
the things he said and Bill came
out and was like, Yeah, was
328
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.759
anybody surprised. I would. It's
like if if if he was at his
329
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.200
age and how he grew up,
if he wasn't racist, I'd be stunned.
330
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.160
Yeah, you're right, I think
that would be more surprising. The
331
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.079
other way. The thing I think
is always interesting is the Cowboys. Everything
332
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.400
is under under is under a scope. You know, it's under a magnifying
333
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.599
glass. Everything's always blown up because
it's the Cowboys. And it's no different
334
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:41.400
with Jerry Jones, except some of
the Cowboys players that are not able to
335
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.440
withstand some of the controversy many have
over the years. Sometimes they don't,
336
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.279
like I don't think uh Terrence Williams
ever truly recovered from falling off that scooter
337
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:55.519
in Frisco. And I mean like
the actual two wheel razor scooter, not
338
00:24:55.640 --> 00:25:00.960
like an actual motorized scooter. Anyway. Yeah, I aggress No matter what
339
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:04.640
controversy has ever popped up in front
of or behind Jerry Jones, He's always
340
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:10.000
been able to skate by it,
slip through it, whatever it is people
341
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.960
talk about. You know, Donald
Trump being the teflon don Jerry Jones is
342
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:19.279
more slippery than any other sports owner
than any other eighty year old man making
343
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:26.400
questionable comments or doing questionable things.
Honestly, at the end of the day,
344
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:29.200
Jerry Jones to me is kind of
like a dolphin. He's horning any
345
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:33.279
slippery Well. I'll tell you why
Ilay was compared Jerry Jones too, and
346
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.480
it's because their same agent from the
same city is Bill Clinton, like talking
347
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:42.400
about like it's just everything just kind
of rolls off like like he'll be it
348
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.319
might be in a in an s
storm for a little bit, but at
349
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.079
the end of the day, he's
gonna get through it. And I think
350
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.720
part of the reason why the people
that might get taken out oh yeah,
351
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.680
got him. And I think part
of the reason why is one's popularity and
352
00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:00.359
two at the end of the day, he's kind of likable. I don't
353
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.720
I don't know. If I don't
know, if Jerry Jones isn't any way
354
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:07.640
likable, I wouldn't say that.
I would just say that it's not shocking.
355
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:10.200
Like when I saw the picture,
like the same picture that Trey was
356
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:14.279
talking about of the of when they
were integrating to school, the first thing
357
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:18.759
I saw was the kid with a
cigarette, like like they could smoke then
358
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:23.559
like like that was my I wasn't
wasn't the only change that was happening at
359
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.799
the time. Yes, there was
a no smoking policy apparently went up,
360
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:33.759
but that's what I because that when
it when it came, and not to
361
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.119
take it to a serious note,
but when it comes to racism and and
362
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.480
things like that, I'm forty I'll
be forty eight this year. I've I've
363
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:47.000
I've dealt with it a lot and
nothing stuns me. So when I hear
364
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.480
this stuff and I'm like, okay, yeah, I mean, unless the
365
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.599
league does something about it, then
bravo. But nobody else is gonna do
366
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:57.119
anything. It's not gonna gain any
traction just because I go, oh yeah,
367
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.640
look who said it well and well, And it's also just it's also
368
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.240
just an allegation. As far as
we know, there's no audio of this
369
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.119
there you know there's this, there's
no video of it. So it's basically
370
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:10.599
it's a it's a he said,
he said type of situation. One of
371
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:12.119
you's a reporter, one's a billionaire
owner in the NFL. Who do you
372
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.359
think is going out ahead exactly?
Who can who can buy the media enough
373
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.759
to where this story gets buried?
Every single time. And it's also the
374
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.839
other white owner of another team is
going, I didn't hear nothing, and
375
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.079
they're like, oh, okay,
that I got you. Uh. And
376
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.440
it's when they call it a good
old boys club, that's what they mean.
377
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.480
It's it's they all have the same
thought process. They all think the
378
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:42.640
same way because they for us to
think people evolve, they grow up that
379
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:48.759
way in that isolated cocoon of billionaires
and and and that society to think that
380
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.359
they're just gonna wake up one day
and evolve and go everything I've ever thought
381
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.000
was wrong. It's kind of presumptuous
on our part. And you think he's
382
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:03.000
gonna skate this. Yeah, I
I doubt like by a week from now
383
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.599
this is even a story. I'm
actually kind of with you. And ironically,
384
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:08.880
that's the reason why I wanted to
bring it up is because I bet
385
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:15.279
by the time we record the next
Free House Football podcast, yeah, it's
386
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.519
not going to be a thing at
all. I'm I'm honestly, I'm less
387
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:26.079
curious about what possible or what alleged
racist comments or racially charged comments Jerry Jones
388
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:30.920
has. I'm more interested in the
in the in the girl that said you're
389
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.039
my father, Yeah, how do
we? Yeah, what happened to that
390
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.680
part? Like well, and there's
also you know, there is a and
391
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:45.799
it happened in the last week that
there's also a sexual harassment lawsuit against Jerry
392
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.079
that a judge said could could move
forward. So it's not that Jerry's without
393
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.519
problems. I just don't think this
one because at the end of the day,
394
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:56.839
and you know, I'm not much
of a conspiracy theorist, but I
395
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.960
you know, money and power NFL
is such a big business. I mean,
396
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.319
it is a juggernaut, and it
is so tight end of every media
397
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.400
outlet that at the end of the
day, I think they can bury a
398
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:12.119
story if it gain traction. But
like I said, I think everyone just
399
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:15.720
kind of goes, yeah, it's
Jerry, you know, yeah, he's
400
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.559
probably a racist, And kind of
the what you're saying, Trey, is
401
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:25.000
that Jerry Jones has a really big
shovel. Oh yeah, can burry whatever
402
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.279
he wants if he chooses. I
think I also think Jerry Jones wakes up
403
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:32.680
every morning and like reads these things
and just all he says is like God,
404
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:37.319
damn it, Scotch, Like that's
like he blames all his problems on

407
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:22.880
Welcome back to the Treehouse Football Podcast
number one. Now that we've had our
408
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.039
grubby Jerry Jones fingers all over the
Dallas Cowboys week one, and I look
409
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:34.759
ahead to week two against and Aaron
Rodgers less New York Jets time. What's
410
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:38.960
that, Trey? Oh, it's
funny you're talking about Jerry Jones and how
411
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.440
like he is like TEF one,
nothing's gonna stick to him. And then
412
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:47.240
you have, you know, on
the other end of the spectrum. Have
413
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:51.720
you all read about the Michigan State
football coach Mel Tucker? No? What
414
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:56.400
is this? Okay? So,
now, I don't want to sound like
415
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.440
I'm a complete sports moron when it
comes to current events. I know something
416
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:03.240
happened with Michigan State's head coach,
but I don't know exactly, and I
417
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.480
wasn't sure if it was related to
the gymnastics controversy they had with the Michigan
418
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.519
State doctor for the women's gymnastics scene, So I wasn't sure if those two
419
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.759
were combined. So there's something new. Yes. So now the backdrop of
420
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:21.799
this is the Larry Nasser situation in
that Michigan State for years, knowingly or
421
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:25.559
unknowingly, you know, was a
haven for Larry Nasser to just do horrible
422
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:30.359
things to girls and so, and
there was a culture of cover up and
423
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.680
everything else. So they brought in
at oh what, well in sports,
424
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.920
I mean that was gymnastics. But
yeah, and so they brought in a
425
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:44.920
woman to basically be the compliance officer, not only a Title nine compliance offers,
426
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.200
to make sure that there was good
reporting, that there was no retribution
427
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.599
against people who were making claims anything
else. Well, evidently she and Mel
428
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.079
Tucker, the head football coach of
Michigan State, became friends to the point
429
00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:02.599
where he was masturbating on while on
the phone with her. Did you say
430
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:07.079
they were friends? Well, they
were friendly? I guess was this was
431
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:14.680
this his really really horrible attempt at
getting out of the friend zone. You
432
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:19.920
know, I don't who knows.
And and of all, I don't care
433
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:24.880
if if she was begging you,
you just like she is the compliant,
434
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:29.240
like she's not going to lose in
this situation. No, and I would,
435
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.000
well, first of all, if
I'm melt Tucker, the head football
436
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:35.079
coach at Michigan State. The first
thing I would be thinking of is my
437
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:39.400
is my ten year, ninety five
million dollar contract. The second thing I
438
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:46.400
would be considering is if the title
nine compliance officer for the university. If
439
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:50.880
Trey, like you said, she
was begging me, Oh yeah, I
440
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:52.319
want you to do this, I
want you to do that. I want
441
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:54.400
you to do I would assume it's
a test, and if I fail that
442
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:58.640
test, I'm out of my ninety
five million dollars. I'm not going to
443
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:00.599
assume, oh yeah, she wants
me. No, I'm gonna so much
444
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.680
a test and I should pass it. I didn't know again, like with
445
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:06.880
you, Dad, I didn't know
which scandal we were talking about. So
446
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.920
I read a little bit about this, and I think, what the the
447
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:14.400
angle that met? I just love
saying mel Tucker because it's just it's just
448
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:17.799
such an old like nobody there's no
fresh Mels coming out anymore, Like there's
449
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:22.279
nobody nobody's naming a kid Mel anymore. It's like we're done with Mels,
450
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:28.119
and Barbara's like there's no there's no
more Rod Faith. I think I think
451
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.680
what's old becomes new again. I
think I think Melvin may make a comeback.
452
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.559
Something I don't. I don't think. I don't think there's kids being
453
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.279
born today, Like there's a guy
has a daughter and he's like, you
454
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.519
know the name of Ronda like that. I think those names are gone.
455
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:44.319
But mel I now, I don't
know how much of this is what his
456
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:45.920
perception was, or what the truth
is, or if it was just a
457
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:52.519
bad breakup. The his take on
it, this was a consensual phone sex
458
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:58.559
thing between the fact that they were
an item behind the scenes and he's he's
459
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:02.160
married it, I believe, yes, and again again it goes back into
460
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:07.679
the yes. But behind the scenes, I think it was, uh,
461
00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:13.920
we kept it a secret because she
is the compliance officer, and that's why
462
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:17.599
we kept it a secret. And
I think when and also because he's married,
463
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:21.320
so it would make sense if they
were having a relationship to keep it
464
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:29.079
quiet for those two reasons. And
ninety five million dollars two okay, yeah,
465
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:30.679
and in like the second year of
that ten year, ninety five million
466
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:36.719
dollar contract. But okay, yeah, well, well we'll say all of
467
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:43.280
that stipulate you're still you're you're now
the head coach of a major college football
468
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.079
program. So obviously you have some
semblance of intelligence and everything else. And
469
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:52.800
you you're married, so you know
that if stuff goes south, that you're
470
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.639
dealing with someone who could absolutely wreck
your life. Yes, but you also
471
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:01.199
but you've also both of you guys
have also just hit on everything beforehand.
472
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:05.239
When you're like, they have the
power to cover things up. There is
473
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.440
a history of cover ups. There
is a history of burying things. So
474
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:13.239
when you see this, you're okay. First of all, men saying that
475
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:15.880
he could possibly feel invincible. Yeah, and and and also when it comes
476
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.760
to men being more intelligent when it
comes to the fairst sex. Uh,
477
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:23.239
I didn't say more. I didn't
say more intelligent. No, no,
478
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:28.880
And he's like for that situation said
football terms. Yeah, you're like you
479
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:30.480
like he got to where he is, he's got to be somewhat intelligent when
480
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:36.320
it comes to like men and women, like we've started wars because of like
481
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:39.280
for women's sake, like to garner
their attention. We're not the brightest.
482
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:44.400
When he will do pretty much anything
at our disposal to get late. Yeah,
483
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:46.920
there's a great there's a great interview
with remember Stevo from Jackass, like
484
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:50.199
he was he liked this girl in
high school and he thought she was the
485
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:53.199
cutest thing in the world, and
he was wanting her to ditch class with
486
00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:55.320
him, and she's like, well, we can't. We don't have an
487
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:58.920
excuse to get out. So he
ripped a tooth out of his mouth.
488
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:01.840
Uh, and he's gush, like, just physically ripped the twoth out of
489
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:07.000
his mouth and like asked to be
excused from class to go to the nurse
490
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:09.119
and thought, and he goes his
last words where he goes, Man,
491
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:13.880
she didn't think that was cool.
Like I'm like, okay, yeah,
492
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:17.199
most women don't want to make out
with you know, blood soaked. Yeah,
493
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:20.559
and so we're not the brightest when
it comes to it. I think
494
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.079
he went, if I keep it
quiet, you know, she's also she
495
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:27.199
could I mean, she could stand
to lose too. She's a compliance officer
496
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.840
and we're having a relationship. But
also it's me and they just signed me
497
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:36.079
to ninety five million dollars. They're
gonna do whatever it's gonna take. And
498
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:39.079
I think he's thinking of that time
back in those days when that was the
499
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:42.400
top of the list, like,
hey, we keep all of this quiet,
500
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.280
shut up about it, because we
have ninety five million dollars to lose.
501
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:47.280
And now we're in a different time
where it's like, hey, listen,
502
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:52.840
we gotta call it for what it
is. Yeah, but this you,
503
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.679
you are the head coach of a
major program. You have ninety five
504
00:36:55.679 --> 00:37:00.960
million dollars. Of all the women
that you decide to have an affair with,
505
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:05.920
there there are very few that really
could topple you, but the one,
506
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:10.960
because you know she was brought in, she already has outstanding credibility.
507
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:15.920
And all it takes is one fight
and you're screwed. All it takes is
508
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:19.559
one fighter. Hey, where do
you want to what do you want tonight?
509
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:23.960
And it ends up, Oh yeah, I had you. You were
510
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:27.639
playing with yourself on the phone.
I'm gonna go tell everyone. No,
511
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:29.800
It's like the fight is like,
you know, what do you want to
512
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:30.840
have for dinner night? Whatever you
have with your wife the other night?
513
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:37.960
Like that's what and you you you
said something and I think you mentioned backwards
514
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:40.519
because you said of all the women
you could have an affair with, you
515
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:44.360
do mean when it comes to him, of all the women that would have
516
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:46.039
an affair with you, like,
like, I don't know, there's not
517
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:49.920
a lot of people going around like, you know, I'm banging mel Let's
518
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.519
see that. No. Here's the
thing though, but there are and that's
519
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:57.280
the other side of this is where
the two of you actually coincide with the
520
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:00.559
two sides of the things that you're
saying. He feels invincible because he's powerful,
521
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:04.559
he's a big football coach, and
they'll cover up anything. And then
522
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:07.079
Trey's also saying it's like, well, this this, this is a powerful
523
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:13.320
and rich man. There are plenty
of options for powerful men on a campus
524
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:19.280
where you have you have undergrad you
have assistance, you there's a student body
525
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:24.800
there. You're not shortage of there's
no shortage of options of all the people
526
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:30.519
that you decide you're going to risk
everything. The one that like, yeah,
527
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:31.920
if it was some grad student,
you know, assistant, Yeah,
528
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:35.159
he could probably bully her, pay
her off with one hundred grand and this
529
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:38.679
goes away. You pick the one
where if she goes ballistic on you,
530
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:44.039
you're screwed because she she can take
you down, like she was brought in
531
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:46.440
just for this very purpose to bring
you down. Anyone who was going to
532
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:51.159
do this. Yeah, and and
and you know again, I always say,
533
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:52.719
like, let it all play out
and if it turns into a lover's
534
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:59.519
spat or whatever, but if it
is legitimate, like if in that situation,
535
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:04.800
like and I don't know because I've
never done something like that. Uh,
536
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:07.400
what were they like what were they
talking about? Like that he felt
537
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:10.360
the need to do, Like if
that was the case, Like it couldn't
538
00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:15.039
have been, like hey, let's
talk about like the next compliance like the
539
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.280
next seminar that we have about sexual
assault and how to, how to,
540
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.360
how to, how to catch sexual
assault, know that it's happened to you
541
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:27.119
or whatever, how to report it
whatever. What is going on there where
542
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:30.800
you feel compelled to do that?
If if not for they were, as
543
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:35.599
he said, having a mutual phone
sex thing and this turned into to whatever
544
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:37.639
it's turned into. I do like
this. I could actually see that that
545
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:42.599
conversation getting awkward pretty fast. Is
she's trying to go through the bullet points
546
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:45.599
of the next compliance meeting for Title
nine purposes and his responses, what are
547
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:59.000
you wearing? Assumed? What kind
law? At the end of the day,
548
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:00.800
I'll be very curious to see how
it turns out. But as it
549
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:06.920
is, he's he's done, and
he's he's been suspended. They're gonna end
550
00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:09.719
up firing him, and uh,
it's yeah, and then that school just
551
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:15.119
cannot No school can really tolerate it. But at Michigan State with the Larry
552
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:19.800
Naster stuff, really really has to
be firm. Sorry for the punt on
553
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:23.199
this. Yeah. And and I
love the fact that they start suspending him
554
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:27.719
without pay because normally what they'll do
to kind of like play kate the whole
555
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:30.480
thing. It's like, hey,
we're gonna suspend you like in the media,
556
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:34.760
but we'll still keep giving you your
salary. Uh. And this one,
557
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:37.360
I think when you're like, you're
right, I think they're gonna I
558
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:39.599
think he's done because they're like,
listen, we're not giving any more money.
559
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:45.639
Yeah, because basically saying we're gonna
keep the remainder of your contractor yeah.
560
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:47.639
And then I don't know, like
and then in my head, I'm
561
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:52.719
like, I don't know where you
It's situations like this song, where do
562
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:54.480
you go? What do you do
after? Like like you can't it's not
563
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:57.480
like you can go, Like you
can't go to high school and like,
564
00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:59.840
hey, man, I used to
coach at Michigan State. You can.
565
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:02.239
I mean like yeah, but you're
not allowed to have a phone, Like
566
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:07.960
you, but you were allegedly beaten
off on the phone with the compliance officers.
567
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.880
So we don't know how you're going
to fit in with the guidance counselors
568
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:14.480
in high school. If this is
what he does to a compliance officer,
569
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:21.320
I can't imagine what he would do
to a parole officer. There will be
570
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:24.760
some small school that will, you
know, go, oh wait, we
571
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:30.079
can have him. And I worked
for Art Briles leaving Baylor will but just
572
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:32.719
for a second, I mean,
Art Briles was still the pariah of I
573
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:38.599
mean Christ. They got like the
offensive coordinator Oklahoma has been skewered this week
574
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:43.599
just for having Art Briles on the
field on Saturday at the Oklahoma game.
575
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:46.760
Like the point is someone someone still
hired him. Oh yeah, they thought,
576
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:49.400
oh yeah, we can get away
with this, and then you know
577
00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:52.119
every place I mean I think what
the Canadian Football League, and then I
578
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:57.559
think maybe Liberty or someone like that
Liberty University. There there there are there
579
00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:00.920
are to me, there are you
know, there are many categories of cockroach
580
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:07.559
occupations. One is football coach and
another one is bad radio shows. They
581
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:12.840
always seem to find a way to
get hired despite all the evidence being to
582
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:17.280
the contrary that they'll have any modicum
of success. But it only takes one
583
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:24.320
program director or one athletic director to
say, you know what, I like
584
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:28.639
this. I like it. I'm
gonna make this decision. I'm gonna hire
585
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:32.079
this guy. You think Mel has
a You think Mel has a brewery.
586
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.000
I think everyone's got a brewery these
days. I'm shocked we don't have one.
587
00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:43.559
We should start one. I mean, we were already branching out with
588
00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:50.920
a football podcast. Why not a
treehouse brewery run by run by a current
589
00:42:50.960 --> 00:43:00.440
functional alcoholic, an Indian uh son
of immigrants from this heat, and a
590
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:05.000
bona fide alcoholic who's been sober for
seven years. If that's not If that's
591
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.440
not a recipe for success for an
alcohol brand, I don't know what is.
592
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:17.039
Yeah, three unwise men muster fu
draft will be the most entertaining.
593
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:22.719
Yeah, there's no doubt I'll put
the India in. I PA, Let's
594
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:30.000
do Ours is actually authentic because Rogers
the Indian trey is pale, and I'm
595
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:39.920
drinking the ale. Normally, this
is where I would end the show.
596
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:44.480
But there's one more thing that I
want to touch on again. Sorry for
597
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:49.840
the pun. Here in the very
first episode of the Treehouse Football Podcast,
598
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:55.159
when that is we started the show
with a surprise of the Cowboys putting up
599
00:43:55.199 --> 00:44:00.079
forty points and shutting out the Giants
in week one, the surprise of Aaron
600
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:04.920
Rodgers not being able to complete his
first offensive series as a New York Jet.
601
00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:09.679
And now my question for you,
mister Trenholm, is this, Actually
602
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:15.119
I'm sorry. Now my question for
you, Raj is this who do you
603
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:25.159
think was more surprised that Trey's Longhorn's
upset Alabama? Alabama or Tray? I'm
604
00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:31.920
gonna go with Tray. Really you
so you think Alabama was less surprised getting
605
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:38.000
beat at home by eleventh ranked ut
than Trey, who was saying before the
606
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:43.679
game to me via text message,
Yeah, it doesn't look good. They're
607
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:46.880
not ready for that hostile environment.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like
608
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:52.320
when I think of when I think
of the ultimate optimist, Trenholme doesn't come
609
00:44:52.360 --> 00:45:00.280
to mind. So if you're giving
me the option of one trend home versus
610
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:05.039
eighty eight thousand people in the stadium
in Alabama, I'm going with Trent.
611
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:15.440
Yeah, I I I've watched I
think the quarterback I think for for ut.
612
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:19.400
Uh, I'm just glad he cut
his hair. Uh. I know,
613
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:22.480
his eyes on an old Cromle.
I'm like the bullet thing whatever.
614
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:27.400
I don't understand that coming back.
But he looks good, man, I
615
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.320
like the guy. The team looks
good. I'm not gonna lie to you.
616
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:32.239
You know, for someone like that, that may have been one of
617
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:38.800
the more impressive things as yours,
because he's been just burrated about his performance
618
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:43.639
last year. And you know,
you have I forgot that there's one quarterback
619
00:45:43.679 --> 00:45:45.079
he's supposed to be great, but
then you have Arch Manning and the wings
620
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:50.079
and so there's a huge amount of
pressure. There are a lot of people
621
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.719
were like why is he even starting? And uh, And then you know,
622
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:58.440
you go into Alabama and I mean
it was the worst home loss Nickson
623
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:02.159
like, first time they've had a
non conference home loss in like twenty years
624
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:07.960
and worst loss Sabans had since like
h three. And they just physically dominated
625
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:13.199
Alabama And no, I would have
bet everything that that would not was not
626
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:15.760
gonna happen. And you know,
and I'm not sure, I'm not sure
627
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:21.639
who I feel worse for u Nick
Saban's soul that I'm convinced he's sold to
628
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:24.519
the devil many years ago, or
the sack of puppies that I assume that
629
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:32.079
he bludgeoned after the game. No
puppies were harmed in the making of this
630
00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:38.480
podcast as far as we know.
No, he wouldn't surprise me if if
631
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:42.960
Nick Saban was the Grilla Deville of
college football. Yeah, no, no,
632
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:46.159
no, he looks like he looks
like he like like the players didn't
633
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:50.599
get to eat that night, Like
like that's what like like you couldn't win
634
00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:53.199
or you're gonna eat one of the
two talking about talking about not having a
635
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:55.800
response from your friends. We were
talking about the Cowboys and Giants and checking
636
00:46:55.840 --> 00:47:00.239
on your Giants friends. I have
three Alabama friends, two of which I
637
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:05.280
still have not heard from. And
I was and I wasn't even talking crap
638
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:08.000
to him during the game. And
I one of them who I knew he
639
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:13.519
was at the game, like he
is a big Alabama alumni booster, and
640
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:16.199
I was like, are you okay? Like I didn't see that one coming.
641
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:20.119
You know it's gonna be And as
a Texas fan, I can offer
642
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:25.440
the perspective of disappointment. It's what
we know, and especially early season disappointment
643
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:28.679
and I'm like, it's okay,
you know, y'all can still come back
644
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:31.400
from this. It's it's it's early
and he was responsive. No, he
645
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:35.800
still has not responded. So that's
two of your three Alabama fans you have
646
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:37.559
not heard from. I have not
heard from my Giant fan either. Is
647
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:42.000
it possible that those Bama fans somehow
found their way into the puppy sack?
648
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:51.599
Or didn't they No one tends to
use them. Now, Joe might have
649
00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:57.159
been so distraught that he put himself
in the puppy sack. Just it's sort
650
00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:01.280
of like an offering up to he's
got a sacrifice if this mean Alabama will
651
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:06.639
win for a first first loss,
like that, he has to sacrifice a
652
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:08.679
boosts. He just he just kneels
down in front of He just kneels down
653
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:15.000
in front of Nick Saban. He
said, roll tide. Now you're being
654
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:20.719
silly. He's gotta kneel down at
Saban's altar that he does have. Like
655
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:22.760
we know he's got this, like
he's got a dungeon with an altar and
656
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:27.599
he just sits there and he waits
for them to sacrifice their their first booster.
657
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:35.360
Yeah, I like it. I
again, I was I was stunned,
658
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:37.039
but I was very optimistic going into
it. I was like, you
659
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:40.599
know what this could be. There's
always that great upset. Yeah, in
660
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:44.519
the early weeks of college football.
And I told Trey before the game,
661
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:47.079
I said, look, I have
no dog in this fight. Like we
662
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:51.360
mentioned at the beginning of the show, I didn't go to college to cheer
663
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.280
for a football team because I went
to UT arlankedon that didn't have one.
664
00:48:54.199 --> 00:49:00.519
I went actually for broadcasting stuff,
and so I don't have a favorite college
665
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:04.079
team on any sport whatever. I
just like to watch a good game.
666
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:07.920
What I told Trade before this game
is I'm not cheering for your Longhorns.
667
00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:10.679
I hope the best for you as
my friend, and I actually do think.
668
00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:14.400
I don't know if I didn't think
Texas was going to win the game,
669
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:17.400
but my hope was that they would
because if they do, it's good
670
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:23.760
for college football as a whole.
It's very sad for those puppies in office,
671
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:28.360
but it's good for the rest of
college football. If Bama loses to
672
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:31.880
Texas at home. Uh yeah,
I mean I I was, you know,
673
00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:35.079
I was gonna go to UT.
I was accepted, UT ended up
674
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.800
going to Southwest Texas State, which
is in the state, you know,
675
00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:42.559
Texas state school institutions. If you
could compare them to the Jackson five Texas
676
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:47.599
states teed up. So what would
so well, then what would ut Arlington
677
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:59.679
be? Would just be like cousin, No one even knows he could have
678
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:05.679
said Jackson the never saying look,
I don't know if the two of you
679
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:13.840
have realized this, but I'm not
exactly arguing there. It is episode number
