00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:25.559
It is time I believe your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.679
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan ol Malley along
3
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:36.600
with Trade Trenholm and Sharma, and we definitely need some
4
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.640
laughs today because the three of us are Cowboys fans.
5
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.159
In a shocking move, the Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons
6
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.880
and even though we just started it, we've never needed
7
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.799
Trey's Cowboys Anonymous more.
8
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.439
Oh, such a great video. I bought that thing so hard.
9
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.840
In the very beginning. I thought you were about depression
10
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.280
or alcoholism or something like that. And I'm like, oh,
11
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.439
my fuddy, Trey sad. You know, my dad had it
12
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:08.000
and he's passed it on to me. And there's a
13
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:10.079
dark cloud and there's this and I was like, oh,
14
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.159
and I was about to call you we're okay, and like,
15
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.959
I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm a Cowboys fan.
16
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.040
I was like, oh, man, he got me.
17
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.079
But if you think about it, I mean, Trey has
18
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.040
been sober for nine years, and of all of all
19
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.200
the possible addictions, Trey's had just about all of them.
20
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.640
And the last remaining one really is his sports allegiance
21
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:44.640
to the Cowboys. Yeah, if we would Trey, can you
22
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:50.519
recap briefly the first handful of steps that you've shared
23
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.519
with us so far in Cowboys Anonymous?
24
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.000
Step one, we admitted we were powerless over the Cowboys.
25
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.040
Our team and its salary cap have become unmanageable. Step two.
26
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.199
Came to believe that only a power greater than ourselves,
27
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.439
namely an owner GM and head coach, could restore us
28
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:16.560
to sanity. Three made a decision to turn our fandom
29
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.199
and our falls over to the care of a god
30
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:24.120
as we understood him, someone who actually knows about football
31
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:30.159
and talent evaluation. Number four made a searching and fearless
32
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.919
inventory of our roster and the time we've devoted to
33
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:34.240
deluding ourselves about it.
34
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.919
We are going to share more of Treys thirteen step
35
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.240
program to cure us all of our Cowboys addiction. Leading
36
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.759
up two the first game against the Eagles on Thursday.
37
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.680
I forgot though there was I actually added a part
38
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:54.360
Step two.
39
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:56.479
Oh you did, uh huh?
40
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:04.199
Okay, so let me read step two again.
41
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:05.199
Okay.
42
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.800
Came to believe that only a power greater than ourselves,
43
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.879
namely an owner GM and head coach, could restore us
44
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.680
to sanity. Someone who cares more about blue Stars than
45
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.560
blue label.
46
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.240
That is solid.
47
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.080
But if you've never had blue label, I mean it's
48
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.520
kind of a toss up. It's pretty smooth.
49
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.759
I'll tell you. What's not smooth is choking on the
50
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:36.879
blue star and when it's being shoved down your throat
51
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:42.280
to the Cowboys man, Yeah that's true. Okay, So what
52
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.240
tray are the news steps that you are going to
53
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.240
reveal to us for Cowboys Anonymous?
54
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:58.000
So step five admitted to our to, admitted to God,
55
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.360
ourselves and another human being that we suck and our
56
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.400
roster is doo doo and Dak is mid at best.
57
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.400
I feel like that was most of last season for me.
58
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.039
We're entirely ready for God, the NFL, or someone who
59
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.560
knows what they're doing to remove all the defects in
60
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:18.439
our in our roster.
61
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:27.319
Yeah all right, so we're halfway there, and we'll delve
62
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.480
into more of Trey's steps.
63
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.399
Do we do we get a do we get like
64
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.000
a weekly chip? How does it work?
65
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.240
That's actually a pretty good idea. We hadn't discussed chips yet.
66
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.040
We're just trying to get through the list before we
67
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.959
actually start counting whatever.
68
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.120
Well, I think now that we've talked about it. There
69
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.600
are people that will attend these meetings or and or
70
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.720
what they're called games.
71
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:51.279
Uh.
72
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.480
I think I think I'll be the first one to
73
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.240
show up and admit that I have a problem.
74
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.600
I love it well trade things. I have the biggest
75
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:07.360
problem of them all because I posted the other day
76
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.480
that about the about the trade that I didn't hate it.
77
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.759
Let me tell you exactly what I posted, just out
78
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.759
of the sake of, you know, transparency. So Thursday night,
79
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.759
after the news broke that the Cowboys had traded Michael Parsons,
80
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.040
I posted, if you're Big Matt at the Dallas Cowboys
81
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.279
for trading Micah Parsons. You weren't following the story closely enough,
82
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.399
And I threw in a photo of Michah Parsons from
83
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.600
their last preseason game lying on the trainer's table taking
84
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.959
a nappy nap during that game, to which Trey you
85
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.920
said right before we started the show today that that
86
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:46.560
is a poop poo take mm hmm, well your poo
87
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.920
poo it's lacking.
88
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.680
If you had given it. There's one piece of context
89
00:05:52.959 --> 00:06:00.639
that that could have made it okay, which is of
90
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.240
the mess that Jerry made of the situation. How he
91
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.519
got out of it was the best option left. It
92
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.720
should never have gotten to that point, but it did.
93
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:17.920
Now that's where the argument can surface is who's it
94
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.199
fault to get to that point? And I'm not saying
95
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.240
Jerry is blame free in this, by the way. I'm
96
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.399
just simply saying that this is one of those rare
97
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.560
occasions where it's not all Jerry's fault. I in addition
98
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.920
to that post, I also said this is one of
99
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.319
the very few times Jerry Jones acted like an actual
100
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.600
GM The Cowboys reportedly get two first rounders and a
101
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.480
Pro Bowl defensive lineman. It's not the herschel Walker trade,
102
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.639
but it is the closest thing since that the Cowboys
103
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.839
have done. I'm not saying I love it, but I'll
104
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:49.279
live with it. What are you making a face for.
105
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.639
It's closer to the Luca trade than it is the
106
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:52.800
herschel Walker trade.
107
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:54.439
Oooh no, no, no, no, no no no no.
108
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.439
Ohd you've got an aging injured.
109
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:05.040
The MAVs wove got so little like to me, the
110
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.199
Micah trade and the Luca trade are in nowhere the
111
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.720
same ballpark. The Luca thing was so much worse. It
112
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.680
was worse handled. The trade value for it was abysmal.
113
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.439
At least this you get some workable pieces to build on.
114
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.240
With the Luca thing, it was such a trash trade.
115
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.600
It was like they it was almost personal. It's like,
116
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:33.120
why did you ask for so little? Anyway?
117
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:37.720
I mean so, I mean if the Cowboys, this is
118
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.240
what they get for waiting, you know, as long as
119
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:40.639
they did.
120
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.120
Had they done this last year, it probably would have
121
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.959
been fine. But Jerry doesn't do that. He likes to
122
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.480
wait for that last almost last year because they they
123
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.439
would have had Mica under control for another couple of
124
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.319
years if they really wanted it. But he waited on
125
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.639
Dak and then had to back up the truck even more,
126
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.759
costing him fifteen to twenty million dollars. Had he done
127
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.639
the Dak deal a year earlier, he would have saved
128
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.160
the team money. Why are you chicking your face right?
129
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.920
Because the DAC was is still one of the worst.
130
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:06.680
It's one of the worst contracts in the NFL.
131
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:12.000
NFL besides what's the kid from Houston that they traded.
132
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.439
Up the Cleveland Brown's, uh, Deshaun Watson.
133
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.360
Deshaun Watson.
134
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.879
I'm not saying it's a good contract. I'm just saying,
135
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.879
had Jerry made the deal a year prior, it would
136
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:23.480
have saved the team a lot of money. But he
137
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.959
waited and it cost him a lot more money per year.
138
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.399
Same thing with the Micah deal. If they had done
139
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.959
this last year, they might have gotten Micah roped in
140
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.919
on lesser dollars per year. They didn't do it for
141
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.919
whatever reason. Now, all that being said, Jerry wants and
142
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.799
I put this on the post. Jerry wants to pay
143
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.399
his guys. He always has. I think back to when
144
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:49.240
Zeke was doing his whole shenanigans in Mexico holding out.
145
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.799
How many fans were ready to see him go bye bye,
146
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:53.879
and Jerry still paid him.
147
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.200
That's you're missing a key, a key perspective on that.
148
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.399
Jerry likes to pay the guys that no one else
149
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:01.879
would pay.
150
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:03.200
Mm hmm.
151
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:08.120
He overpays for mediocre talent and he lets great talent go.
152
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.399
Sometimes that that is the case, but if it's if
153
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.200
it is a top tier person, he wants to keep them.
154
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.120
Dak in his mind, Dak CD.
155
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:24.159
Mike in his mind, you know, Dak. At the end
156
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.039
of the year, when they go most you know, the
157
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.399
league does a deal of most overrated players. Dak is
158
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.799
always on the and these are the players voting and keeping.
159
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:34.720
Again, this is not a Dak thing. I'm not saying
160
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.159
Dak's worth the money that he got. I will say this.
161
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.720
In the NFL, the most important player on your team
162
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.080
is quarterback. They don't have a better option than Dak
163
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.039
right now. So that's why they had to pay him.
164
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:45.480
That's why they should have paid him a year before.
165
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.600
And it saved themselves a little bit of money. Yes,
166
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.799
and they could have done that too, but they didn't. Yeah,
167
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:54.960
but but that that goes to show. It's proof that
168
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.879
Jerry wants to pay his guys. And he tried to
169
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.320
get Mike assigned and Mike is like, well, yeah, I'm
170
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:04.399
good with this. They basically had a verbal agreement, and
171
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.200
then Micah's agent goes, no, you don't, We're not doing
172
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.360
it this way. And keep in mind, Micah said last
173
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.840
year he would happily take less. He said he doesn't
174
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.159
need that amount of money. Until this all started, all
175
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.159
of a sudden, he does need this amount of money.
176
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.519
And then he starts acting like an emo baby on
177
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.639
the sidelines and during a training camp, and I'm sure
178
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:27.600
that pissed off the team, and as a fan, that
179
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.559
annoyed me, like, it's not my money. But if you
180
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.279
think you're worth a certain dollar amount that you are
181
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.200
demanding and commanding, then you need to act like it
182
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.480
instead of acting like a baby on the sidelines.
183
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.440
But I also think his stats prior to that gave
184
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.399
him that value, so he can't he can't act like
185
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.600
an emo baby when he's also being devalued by the
186
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:53.639
guy who said.
187
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.159
Then don't be on the sidelines. If that's going to
188
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.200
be your attitude, just hold out and go bye bye
189
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.039
until something has happened. Don't go to training camp, don't
190
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.159
go to the games and be a distraction the kid
191
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:07.120
on the sideline.
192
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.080
But then you would complain about that, like, look at it,
193
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.320
look at him, How disrespectful is that. There's all that.
194
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.480
Now I've seen people's posts were like, well, you know
195
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.000
he's got back issues, so let him go.
196
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.440
He does not have back issues. You see the video
197
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:20.159
of him dancing around his living room at the announcement
198
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:21.799
of him being traded and being signed.
199
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.600
Yeah, everybody everybody has their like if they would have
200
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.960
signed him, the conversation would be different, but they didn't,
201
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.639
So another conversation everybody's trying to find the faults in
202
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.240
him and not the fact that Trey's right, Jerry Jones,
203
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.000
you need to put the emphasis on his guys. He
204
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:44.000
doesn't want to pay all he wants to pay in
205
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.600
his head who he thinks is going to take him
206
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.879
back to those glory days and was.
207
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.919
One of his guys until it switched.
208
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:58.720
But the probably with Dak, Jerry so wants the validation
209
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.000
that he's a football guy and he wants people to
210
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:02.440
know that he took that what was Dack a third
211
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:03.639
round pick or fourth round pick?
212
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:04.399
Yeah?
213
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:04.840
Fourth?
214
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.759
Yeah, he wants that, you know, He's like, he wants
215
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:09.879
that recognition that, oh I saw that, I saw what
216
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.120
no one else saw. He's never gonna get it he
217
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.679
everyone else saw what what he actually got.
218
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:15.759
Yeah.
219
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.399
Now, if the Packers win the Super Bowl, I'll laugh
220
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:19.320
my butt off.
221
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.559
If the Packers win the Super Bowl, it's not going
222
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.159
to be single handedly at the hands of Micah, because
223
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:32.679
a Parsons, a Micah Parsons less Packers beat the ever
224
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:34.960
loving crap out of the Cowboys in the playoffs.
225
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.159
Yeah, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying the irony
226
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.840
would be if he gets traded the Packers and they
227
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.200
win a ring. Oh my, I mean nobody. I mean,
228
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:43.600
if the.
229
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.360
Packers win the Super Bowl, it's going to because it's
230
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:47.840
going to be because their quarterback did some amazing things
231
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:49.600
with help of Micah Parsons.
232
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:51.600
Yeah, I mean Jerry would have to jump off the
233
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.320
high five. He would have to, he would have to
234
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.840
end it. He would never be able to live it.
235
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:02.440
Down Ross here's the thing. He wouldn't jump. You might
236
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:11.519
get shoved. You're in the tree House.
