Speaker 3 (00:34):
What a wonderful night.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Well come in the beginning on another week of the
Benmahlor Show.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
We are in the air everywhere, driveling on and on
as we are where the sports world never ever sleeps,
not at all.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond the mast

Talking to the rain in our production meeting, because you
know Coop never shows up to those. So I started
on the RAINA and we were discussing the fact that
I didn't have time to do the X rundown for
tonight's show, and the people that listen live get very
(01:44):
upset by that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
They don't know how to handle it.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's very emotional for them. They feel like I have
wronged them, that the crowd suck. Yes, I will get
a lot of ice. I will get to it at
some point. I just slipped my mind. I had other
things to get to some people that were visiting the
studio here that I briefly talked to, and I'm gonna
blame them, even though they had nothing to do with this.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
But I'm gonna blame them.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Anyway because I saw them in the hallway and I said, hello,
it is very brief conversation, very nice people, friends of
Arney's that we're here. So I talked to them, and
I'm gonna claim that that was the time that I
would have written the rundown of the show. But I'm
not doing that. I didn't do it. I will do
it at some point. But our lead this hour is
(02:26):
not from football on on on on, No from baseball
Baseball's been very, very.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Good to me.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Oh, what a wonderful story this is. The Eagle has
landed on a late Sunday night into a Monday. The
NFL has been upstaged upstage. We do not start with
that chief's doink victory over the Chargers. That does not
(02:53):
take the lead on this show. The lead story here
is one Soto. He's leaving the bron Where is one
Soto go? He hasn't knew them. Oh my god, you're
so excited. Somebody just got really rich and you're excited.
You know, you got to work your job and you
you got to deal with your life. But this guy
really really rich, super dupers. If you haven't heard yet,
(03:13):
that likely means you haven't been paying attention.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
That job by you.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
So we have learned that one Soto is taking his
talents to the New York Metropolitans. One Soto going to
the Mets. He's agreed to a record breaking contract.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
He will be a met for the.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Next fifteen seasons, at least contractually bound to the Mets
seven hundred and sixty five million. Of course, we haven't
seen all the fine print on this, so there's likely
some escape hatches.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
The deal announced on Sunday night as the Winter Meetings
are underway in the Greater Dallas area. And as you
guys know, boots on the ground, if you're listening to
us in Dallas, we are on a May sports talk
radio station in Dallas. So if you happen to see anybody,
let us know if you hear something I talked on
the Fifth Hour podcast. We had a guy call up
(04:10):
who was visiting the Cape last week and he told
us a story about Peter Gammon's buying Blue Moon at
a local liquor store on the Cape. And I love
that store. And so maybe you're at the Winter Meetings
and you see like Andrew Friedman and he's he's eating
like raising canes or something like that. You can let
us know, you can give us the inside skinny on that.
(04:31):
But the story here Juan Soto seven hundred and sixty
five million dollars. Soto's deal topping the ten year, seven
hundred million dollar contract that Juan Soto's rival who beat
him in the World Series, although he didn't pay very well,
Shohio Tani signed with the Doyers, and at the time
(04:51):
that was the largest.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Deal in baseball history.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Although if you go year by year, you can crunch
the numbers on that as a fifteen year deal as
opposed to the ten year contract, So it's a lot,
it's a lot more years five years. Of course, whether
Sodo will play that out, who knows. And all that
the Mets offer the highest passing by the Yankees at
the very last moment there, and so Soto who was
(05:18):
not even the top player on the Yankees. That was
Aaron Judge. But Juan Soto the number two, the Robin,
the batman, and he now goes off. Yeah, I'd rather
be that number two than number one. I got to
tell you seven hundred and sixty five million, and that's
five million more to leave the Yankees got an extra
five million now when you're in that tax bracket, Not
(05:41):
that I've ever been in that tax bracket, nor based
on the career arc that I'm going on right now
in my broadcasting career, will ever be at that area.
But my god, is five million really matter that? I
guess every dollar counts. But if you got seven hundred
and sixty million as opposed to seven hundred and sixty
five minu So the question what do you love and
(06:02):
what do you hate about this? Right, Juan Soto going
to the match? What do we love about it? What
do we hate about it? So I've got horn, dog, rotisserie, chicken,
and manhood, and we will combine all of these things
together and we will go on the party bus. We're
going to go on the party bus because why not.
(06:23):
More on that later. But I love the relay race
of money. And I remember reading several stories years ago
about how baseball just wasn't connecting with the modern fan
and it just wasn't going to work, and that there
was going to be a case where baseball was going
to be passed by soccer. I still chuckle at that.
(06:45):
I still chuckle at that in America. So the soccer
cult the rest of the world calls it football, but
we call it soccer. I said, well, baseball is not
that popular and it's not going to work out and
all that stuff. Well, here we are all these years ago.
I probably read that story twenty five years ago. Here
we are now, and Juan Soto, it gets an ungodly
(07:05):
amount of money because he takes the baton from Shohel
Tani and he takes advantage of what we all want
in life, a horn dog, rich guy who really really
wants to have you on the payroll. And that's what happened.
To make no mistake, that's exactly what happened. Juan Soto
lived the dream. He had the Yankees, the Red Sox,
(07:29):
and the Mets bidding against each other. That is ungodly
great if you're a baseball player. Right, the three of
the biggest players in the sport, they're all bitten and
it's like a fine piece of art, and they got
to own it, right, They've got to own that Picasso,
and they will pay whatever it takes to get that Picasso.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
And you're in the Picasso. You are the Picasso.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Juan Soda, my god, and so I mentioned horn dog
owner Steve Cohen, who is willing to take a bath
in the red and make most no mistake, he will
take a bath in the red on this contry.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Act one Soto is the guy we thought he was.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Though this is confirmation of previous malar monologues, and I
am not ripping one Soda for this, but this is
as advertised. Remember when One Soda was with the Washington
Nationals years ago and they offered him three hundred million, Everyone.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Said, how you can turn out three hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Well, he was eyeing this night, he was eyeing this contract,
so three hundred million. Turned that down from the Nationals.
He went out to the Padres to eat fish taco
in San Diego, hang out with the the great AP
writer Bernie Wilson is retiring here soon.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
So he went.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
He went down to San Diego, had some fish tacos
and all that, did that thing. They offered him four
hundred million. He said, I'm good, I don't want four
hundred million. So then he goes to the Yankees and
they offered him five hundred million initially after the trade,
before the Otani thing, so five hundred million dollars. Hey,
I'm good, I don't I need the five hundred million.
(08:51):
So then he gets up to past seven hundred million,
so it skips the six hundred million.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It goes past that and then in.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
The seven hundred million dollar range, and it ends up
at Evan one hundred and sixty five million dead presidents
for Juan Soto.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
And now what do we hate about this?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What are we able to So right away, the obvious
is there is no way this works out for the
entire length of the contract, assuming that Sodo does not
opt out, and we have to read all the fine
print that will come out in the coming days, but
assuming that Sodo will say in the next fifteen years
here plays out the contract, which likely won't happen. But
if it does in that dimension to the multiverse, then
(09:31):
the reality of the situation is that you're really talking
about the next five to seven years, and after that
all bets are off. So the Mets have a five
to seven year winner, not a fifteen year window. Five
to seven year window. So I did the math on this.
I did Malard math. So Juan Soto is twenty six
years old. So he's twenty six years old. The backside
(09:55):
of this contract is going to be ugly, ugly.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
The backside of the contract.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So if you do the math on this, the athletic
prime ends outside of the performance at anything drugs in sports.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Your athletic prime ends at thirty two. So then there's
a decline.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So that means assuming the Soto's not going down to
the pharmacy, that he's doing this on the up and up,
he's clean, then five to seven years, that's it, and
you maybe squeeze out another extra year after that. But
the backside of the contract is going to be a disaster.
And as I have said all along, these massive contracts,
it's not my money.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
If you want to burn your money on.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Some highly coveted, bougie elitist baseball player, more power to you.
Good for you if you get the kind of money
to burn. So I don't really worry about that part
of it. Although the issue here is you got to
win one World Series. Now, the Dodgers have given out
a lot of these contracts. They're all going to blow
up eventually. The Dodgers even worse, they're paying out deferred
money for years and years and years and years and
(10:55):
years and years. But Otani, they won a World Series. Check,
so he's already the kind of tracks fine mookie bets.
They've won a World Series with him. So if you
get one of those three hundred plus four hundred plus
million dollar contracts, you have to get at least one
World Series. Both those guys have done it. Will one
Soto do it with the Mets?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Will they? They haven't won a long time. I have
won in a very long time.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Social media did not exist the last time the Mets
won the World Series. Did not exist, all right. Now,
the second part is how can the Mets make this
one Soto contract work with the bean counters? How can
they make this work. I know you're very concerned about
the finances of the Metropolitans, so I have done the
(11:37):
calculus on this, the malor math on this as well.
So let me explain this to you like you're in kindergarten. Okay,
So in business, in business, this is a deal. It's
similar to Costco's inflation proof.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Four dollars and ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Cent rotisserie chicken or the one dollar and fifty cent
hot dog and drink. It's very similar to that. It's
a loss leader onan Soto is a lost.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Leader for the New York Mets.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
That you overpay for Juan Soto thinking that other players
will want to play for the Mets to play with
Juan Soto and that you will end up being profitable.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
In other areas, there's more of a buzz.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You get more people to watch your games on TV,
which leads to higher advertising rates. You also have more
people that attend your games and buy more merchandise and
all that stuff. And so you overpay for Sodo knowing
that you're not going to make money on that because
if you look at the numbers on this, the reason
the Otani contract, the reason the Otani contract worked out
(12:43):
the way it did, is because the Dodgers could get
that money back from Japan. They're houring themselves out, the
Dodgers in Japan, and that's where they're getting their new money.
They've already maxed out the LA market, so they're now
getting money from the Japanese fans, and that's why they're
gonna get the money back on the contract. Plus they're paying.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Most of it out deferred anyway, so.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You overpay knowing it ain't gonna work out on that
contract at all. And the classic move in business, classic
move in business.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
In sports, it's a little more complicated.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
The loss leader, as we said, involves a player at
a price that is not going to be profitable based
on There's no way Soda can live up to that
contract unless he hit like one hundred home runs a
year and drove in two hundred and fifty runs or
something like that. But it is used to attract new
customers or go fans, and so the products and services
(13:39):
and advertising ratings. Ratings go up, advertising goes up, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera. But Steve Cohen is so rich
he would have to live forty thousand years to spend
all the money, and we know that's not possible, right,
And he's not going to bury his money like they
used to supposedly did in the ancient days.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So you got to get rid of the money and
might as.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well give it to one Sodo because you're, you know,
you want to want the Mets to win and all
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
You're a fanboy, and that's it all right now?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
The last word here the losing locker room, the Yankees.
Will the Yankees and Brian Cashman be haunted hundred for
not being able to get the deal done with Juan Soda.
So I'm gonna nod my head. Yes, I'm gonna nod
my head. Yes, this is a very Unyankee like move right.
(14:27):
They always got who they wanted, who they truly wanted,
especially a guy that had played for them. So this
is holy machismo, Batman. What happened were the Pinstripe, the Yankees,
the Mighty New York Yankees, the Big Bad Bronx Bomber,
And you're gonna go play.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
For that other team.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah, and there is that elitism again. I do the
same crap. We used to love basketball before basketball stopped
trying in the regular season. We start out basketball a
lot on the show. And it's a similar dynamic to
the Lakers and the Cliff As I said, Oh, Kawhi
Leonard was supposed to.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Go to the Lake? How could he go to the Clippers?
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
He retired as soon as he signed with the Clippers.
Maybe Jan Soto or retired too with the Mets. He'll
still get paid. He'll show up maybe a couple of
games a year, like Kawhi Leonard does that loser with
the Clippers where he shows up every once in a while. Anyway,
Now get back to the point. So this is a
blue to the manhood is what it is? Castration situation,
(15:25):
if you will. The Yankees have always always positioned themselves
as the guys who get what they want right. That's
their m all, That's how they operate there. So it
is a masculating and one sodo. He got a taste
of life in the Bronx. He got a taste to
wearing the pin stripes and playing for the Yankees. You
got into the World Series and none of that mattered
(15:46):
because he's not about winning.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
See that's the thing. He's about getting paid. I get it.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
It's not about winning. It's about getting as much money
as you can and you finish. Maybe the Mets will
win at some point, and if not, who cares. I
guess seven hundred and sixty five large, seven hundred and
sixty five million.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
But the Yankees get.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Out bid by their roommates. If you were the Little Brothers,
that's what happened here, Steve Cohen. No need though, for
a pity party for the Yankees. Now they have a
lot of money to spend, and they can get quantity
over elite quality and whether that's Pete Alonzo or Christian
Walker who are available, they can get the trademarket, free agency,
(16:24):
you can get starting pitching. So the Yankees will add
two or three players instead of Wan. So maybe that
works out better for them, at least in the short term.
We'll see how that works out in the long term.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

(17:46):
well with you were back at it, hanging out on
a Monday into a Tuesday for our purposes and really
for everyone's purposes and our lead. This hour we'll get
start play the hits. More man, play the hits. We'll
talk about what happened Monday night.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Football.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Now, this is the difference between the NFL and every
other sport. If two bad teams play on a random night,
we don't talk about them in baseball or basketball or hockey,
but in football, crap bag Bengals and the terrible Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
And here we are breaking the game down. Why not?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
That's the beauty of the National Football League. So a
matchup of losers wrapping up the week fourteen card in
the NFL on Monday Night football and Joe Burrow leading
the Bengals traveling caravan into Texas for a little wrestling
match with Mica Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys in a
(18:46):
game that would have a.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Very memorable ending.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
You had Joe Bock, Troy Aikman, there, Bart Simpson, Homer Simpson.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Boy.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That was a disaster. By the way, whoever thought that
was a good idea should be fired. My god. Anyway,
I know that was not designed for me. That was
not designed for me, but.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Still, holy crap? Was that terrible man?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
That was so bad? How did that get green lighted?
That Simpson's alt broadcast? Seriously, I mean, I guess if
you smoked enough, Weedy enjoyed it. But for the rest,
holy crap. Anyway, every gimmick imaginable to try to get
people to watch. They pulled it all out, but we
watched so you would not have to watch. And Joe Burrow,
(19:28):
the hero, he threw a tie breaking forty yard catch
and run to Jamar Chase into the end zone running
through the Dallas defense after a botched blocked punt by
the Cowboys that set the game up for Dallas to win.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
The guy they had the game in the bag, and
they gave the bag away.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
The blocked punt. More on that Cincinnati. That all happened
final two minutes there as the Bengals win over the
Cowboys twenty seven to twenty final score. The Cowboys were
about to get the ball back with all their timeouts,
score tied at twenty.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Field goal.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You run out the clock, at least you for Cincinnati
to use all their timeouts. They had their timeouts. You
kick the field goal. You have a great kicker. Allegedly
you're up twenty three to twenty. The Bengals get the
ball back, possibly with just seconds left, and you win
the game. You win the game. So about to get
the ball back. First play, the very first play after
(20:30):
the two minute warning, Nick vigil with a blocked punt
of Cincinnati, and then the thing happened that cannot happen.
A player that we have never heard of. I'm sure
LaVar Arrington knows who he is, because he went to
Penn State. But Amani Oore tried to field the bouncing ball. Now,
(20:53):
as you know, a football is not round. It does
not bounce like a basketball, bouncy ball. It is a football,
and if you try to catch a football on the bounce,
you're not guaranteed of being able to catch it. If
you didn't believe me, you saw the Monday night game
or heard what happened, you know, the bouncing ball. Instead
(21:15):
of leaving it alone, which would have given possession to Dallas,
if you just get out of the way and treat
it like a live hand grenade.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
You'll get the ball. But instead this numb nuts tries
to field the ball, and well we know what happened.
He could not hold out of the ball.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The Bengals recover and they get a fresh set set
of downs at the Cincinnati forty three yard line with
a minute fifty three to go. And then the Cowboy
defense came out in the field and they went, hooray,
holy ole ole. They were Maddy doors. They were absolutely matters. Now,
the better story isn't losing locker room. You could argue
(21:55):
both these teams were losers, but we'll focus in on
the Cowboys. There's a lot to break down on that part.
So what does this latest loss, my math is correct,
the eighth loss of the year, sixth home loss, the
most the team has had in many years.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
There the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
What is this latest loss by the Mike McCarthy Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Tell us, So, I have poet laureate John F.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Kennedy and trigonometry, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make some Texas barbecue.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Which you know, if you.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Play for the Cowboys you suck, at least you got
good barbecue. So you got that going for it. So
a right off the top, this is a direct reflection
of Mike McCarthy. This is a direct reflection of Mike McCarthy,
the head coach. Because as we like to point out,
and I got this from the late great Mike Leach,
May he rest in peace, that you're either coaching it.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Or you're allowing it to happen.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
And there is a constant thread with this particular Cowboy
team about the level of play the football IQ on
the Cowboys. Now, Mike McCarthy said of the boxed recovery,
it's definitely a tough learning opportunity the Cowboy coach said,
what a load of manure? What a loaderman this last
(23:17):
I shake you? Maybe I'm wrong in this. I don't
not just the Overnight Show. This is not Pop Warner Okay,
it's not high school, it's not college. It's the supposedly
the highest level of professional football, the NFL. Okay, and
you don't know how to stay away from a block punt?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Like what do I know?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I haven't played since high school, and I know if
you block a kick, you get away from the kick.
I'm not that right, but I'm smarter than Dallas Cowboys.
I'm smarter than your average Dallas cowboy because I know
if you block a cake, you stay away from the kick.
So I guess I've got to higher football like you.
But in reality, it is a symbolic moment. The poet
(23:58):
laureate Bill Callahan would say of the Dallas Cowboys, we
gotta be the dubbess team in America in terms of
playing the game. That's the Cowboys, my god, And it's
been that way all year. Did I not mention in
a previous monologue wide receivers running into each other they
(24:19):
were running across and bam right into each other. In
a game earlier this year. So there's talent, there's talent
basic fundamentals, which I thought maybe coaching, oh think could
argue if you don't know how to play the game
by the time you get to the NFL, like, what
are you doing now? Cincinnati again, they tried to give
(24:40):
the game to the Cowboys in it. We don't want it,
you take it. We want we don't need it. We
get a higher draft pick.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Ed what man?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Wow, The Cowboys said, we're good. You take it back.
We're good, all right. Now the story within the story
as well, You've got Micah Parsons who was so broken
up by the botched specialty play that he left the
field before time expired at the end of the loss.
Now we have seen this from time to time. I
(25:09):
recall in years past Randy Moss did this famously with
the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
He left the field early.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I think they're playing the Washington Redskins if I remember correctly,
And it's happened a few other times over the years.
So this latest example, Micah Parsons leaving the Monday night
football game early. What does this signify to you? So
for me and I'll go first here and you can
check in. I'll give out the number in a few minutes.
But for me, it's confirmation. Okay, it's confirmation. And what
(25:36):
do we always say one of the slogans, I've been
doing this a long time. One of my slogans has
always been the better story is in the losing locker room.
And this is a great example. Most games are lost,
they're not one. Now, you could argue both teams lost
that game, but the Cowboys lost it more prolifically by
trying to field the punt where they would have gotten
the ball without even trying to feel that they would
(25:57):
have gotten the ball.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
That would have been their ball, and they would have.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Had it inside Cincinnati territory with a kicker that can
kick it from El Paso.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Anyway, I digress. And the great John F.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Kennedy, who actually was assassinated in Dallas, so this is appropriate.
His quote was, victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Is an orphan.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
And this is an example right and unprofessional behavior by
Micah Parsons, supposed to be a leader and in difficult
times losing being embarrassed like the Cowboys are on a
semi weekly basis your true character is revealed Michaeh. Parson's
true characters, huffing and puffing and leaving the field early
boooooo and all that. He took his cleats and said,
(26:43):
that's it.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I'm out of here. Now.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Keep in mind he also pitched a shutout. Did you
know that? Maybe you didn't know that, maybe you weren't watching.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
You had as many tackles you you.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Listening to my voice, right, You as many tackles, as
many sacks as Michah Parsons.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
So did I in that game.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
We both had the same number of tackles, the same
number of sacks as Micah Parsons squad Douche bumpkis. He
had none, no real impact plays in that game at all,
bottled up by the Bengals. Micah Parsons, who continues to
(27:24):
be an All Pro podcaster, not an all Pro player.
He had that two game stretch against the Jets and
the Giants where he came out like gangbusters and was
the greatest player since Lawrence Taylor and since then. He
he looks good, built like adnnis, doesn't always play like that,
able to be boxed up on a regular basis.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Here, my God and far the whole leadership thing.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
There is a leadership vacuum, I would argue not so
much there for Michael Parsons. All right, now the last
word here, now that the Cowboys lost yet another game,
is it now time for the Cowboys to pull the
plug and bench Cooper Rush and go with Trey Lance
(28:11):
at quarterback the rest of the way starting in week fifteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,
and eighteen.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Just put Trey Lance out there.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
So I'm nodding my head, yes, And as I learned
long ago, it is not trigonometry.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It is not trigonometry.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Any realistic chance that Dallas had to make the playoffs
has long been extinguished over Cooper Rush is just not
that guy, pal, He's not that guy. You know, say what,
the Cowboys were in position to win the game. I
would counter that by pointing out that against one of
(28:48):
the worst defenses in NFL play this season, if not
in recent years altogether, the Cincinnati defense, I think we
can all agree on that. That's a bipartisan is shoe.
The defense is just terrible, right, just They're horrible across
the board. Cooper Rush had less than two hundred yards
(29:09):
passing average less than six yards per pass attempt against
a god awful, horrific Cincinnati Bengals defense. Cincinnati cross every
statistic that matters. They're bad at defensively, and they've gotten
worse as the season's gone on. They're the laughing stock
of the NFL. But yet, in this game, the Cowboys
(29:31):
held the twenty points. They had over three hundred yards offense,
which isn't that impressive when you're playing the Bengals.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
You should be over four hundred and fifty or five
hundred yards of offense. Dallas sucked on third down, They
turned the ball over multiple times, and Jerry Jones, by
not playing Trey Lance, will be admitting he fed up,
all right. He traded, if I'm not mistaken, a fourth
round draft pick to the forty nine ers to get
(29:58):
Trey Lance as a developmental player. So he drafted him
to development, to development his ability. Uh, here's the perfect opportunity.
The Cowboys are done, it's over, they're not going to
the playoffs. Okay, so you've got a few games left,
and there's there's two reasons you play him. Now, there's
(30:21):
two reasons. The first reason is it gives you another
reason to watch. There's not a lot of reasons to watch.
The Cowboys are a bad team, and that not that
they're boring because they do crazy things, but they're just bad. Right,
there's bad. They're dumb team, the Cowboys poorly coached team.
So you've got that. And also the other thing is
(30:41):
from a strategic standpoint, if Trey Lance shows a spark,
if he shows that that it factor over the last
few games, you could sucker someone else to trade you
something of value for Trey Lance conceivable, right, Or you
could keep him in your plan in fortify your roster
(31:03):
by keeping him, or you could work something out where
you you.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Get rid of him.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
But either way, I mean, what is the point of
doing what you've been doing with Cooper Rush? You guy's
not good. I mean maybe for a week or two
is a backup, okay, but now you want to see
him the rest of the year.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
My God.
Speaker 2 (31:20):

Speaker 5 (00:43):
We are in the air everywhere, driveling on and on

Speaker 1 (00:56):

Talking to the rain in our production meeting, because you
know Coop never shows up to those. So I started
on the RAINA and we were discussing the fact that
I didn't have time to do the X rundown for
tonight's show, and the people that listen live get very
(01:44):
upset by that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
They don't know how to handle it.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's very emotional for them. They feel like I have
wronged them, that the crowd suck. Yes, I will get
a lot of ice. I will get to it at
some point. I just slipped my mind. I had other
things to get to some people that were visiting the
studio here that I briefly talked to, and I'm gonna
blame them, even though they had nothing to do with this.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
But I'm gonna blame them.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Anyway because I saw them in the hallway and I said, hello,
it is very brief conversation, very nice people, friends of
Arney's that we're here. So I talked to them, and
I'm gonna claim that that was the time that I
would have written the rundown of the show. But I'm
not doing that. I didn't do it. I will do
it at some point. But our lead this hour is
(02:26):
not from football on on on on, No from baseball
Baseball's been very, very.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Good to me.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Oh, what a wonderful story this is. The Eagle has
landed on a late Sunday night into a Monday. The
NFL has been upstaged upstage. We do not start with
that chief's doink victory over the Chargers. That does not
(02:53):
take the lead on this show. The lead story here
is one Soto. He's leaving the bron Where is one
Soto go? He hasn't knew them. Oh my god, you're
so excited. Somebody just got really rich and you're excited.
You know, you got to work your job and you
you got to deal with your life. But this guy
really really rich, super dupers. If you haven't heard yet,
(03:13):
that likely means you haven't been paying attention.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
That job by you.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
So we have learned that one Soto is taking his
talents to the New York Metropolitans. One Soto going to
the Mets. He's agreed to a record breaking contract.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
He will be a met for the.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Next fifteen seasons, at least contractually bound to the Mets
seven hundred and sixty five million. Of course, we haven't
seen all the fine print on this, so there's likely
some escape hatches.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
The deal announced on Sunday night as the Winter Meetings
are underway in the Greater Dallas area. And as you
guys know, boots on the ground, if you're listening to
us in Dallas, we are on a May sports talk
radio station in Dallas. So if you happen to see anybody,
let us know if you hear something I talked on
the Fifth Hour podcast. We had a guy call up
(04:10):
who was visiting the Cape last week and he told
us a story about Peter Gammon's buying Blue Moon at
a local liquor store on the Cape. And I love
that store. And so maybe you're at the Winter Meetings
and you see like Andrew Friedman and he's he's eating
like raising canes or something like that. You can let
us know, you can give us the inside skinny on that.
(04:31):
But the story here Juan Soto seven hundred and sixty
five million dollars. Soto's deal topping the ten year, seven
hundred million dollar contract that Juan Soto's rival who beat
him in the World Series, although he didn't pay very well,
Shohio Tani signed with the Doyers, and at the time
(04:51):
that was the largest.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Deal in baseball history.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Although if you go year by year, you can crunch
the numbers on that as a fifteen year deal as
opposed to the ten year contract, So it's a lot,
it's a lot more years five years. Of course, whether
Sodo will play that out, who knows. And all that
the Mets offer the highest passing by the Yankees at
the very last moment there, and so Soto who was
(05:18):
not even the top player on the Yankees. That was
Aaron Judge. But Juan Soto the number two, the Robin,
the batman, and he now goes off. Yeah, I'd rather
be that number two than number one. I got to
tell you seven hundred and sixty five million, and that's
five million more to leave the Yankees got an extra
five million now when you're in that tax bracket, Not
(05:41):
that I've ever been in that tax bracket, nor based
on the career arc that I'm going on right now
in my broadcasting career, will ever be at that area.
But my god, is five million really matter that? I
guess every dollar counts. But if you got seven hundred
and sixty million as opposed to seven hundred and sixty
five minu So the question what do you love and
(06:02):
what do you hate about this? Right, Juan Soto going
to the match? What do we love about it? What
do we hate about it? So I've got horn, dog, rotisserie, chicken,
and manhood, and we will combine all of these things
together and we will go on the party bus. We're
going to go on the party bus because why not.
(06:23):
More on that later. But I love the relay race
of money. And I remember reading several stories years ago
about how baseball just wasn't connecting with the modern fan
and it just wasn't going to work, and that there
was going to be a case where baseball was going
to be passed by soccer. I still chuckle at that.
(06:45):
I still chuckle at that in America. So the soccer
cult the rest of the world calls it football, but
we call it soccer. I said, well, baseball is not
that popular and it's not going to work out and
all that stuff. Well, here we are all these years ago.
I probably read that story twenty five years ago. Here
we are now, and Juan Soto, it gets an ungodly
(07:05):
amount of money because he takes the baton from Shohel
Tani and he takes advantage of what we all want
in life, a horn dog, rich guy who really really
wants to have you on the payroll. And that's what happened.
To make no mistake, that's exactly what happened. Juan Soto
lived the dream. He had the Yankees, the Red Sox,
(07:29):
and the Mets bidding against each other. That is ungodly
great if you're a baseball player. Right, the three of
the biggest players in the sport, they're all bitten and
it's like a fine piece of art, and they got
to own it, right, They've got to own that Picasso,
and they will pay whatever it takes to get that Picasso.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
And you're in the Picasso. You are the Picasso.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Juan Soda, my god, and so I mentioned horn dog
owner Steve Cohen, who is willing to take a bath
in the red and make most no mistake, he will
take a bath in the red on this contry.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Act one Soto is the guy we thought he was.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Though this is confirmation of previous malar monologues, and I
am not ripping one Soda for this, but this is
as advertised. Remember when One Soda was with the Washington
Nationals years ago and they offered him three hundred million, Everyone.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Said, how you can turn out three hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Well, he was eyeing this night, he was eyeing this contract,
so three hundred million. Turned that down from the Nationals.
He went out to the Padres to eat fish taco
in San Diego, hang out with the the great AP
writer Bernie Wilson is retiring here soon.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
So he went.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
He went down to San Diego, had some fish tacos
and all that, did that thing. They offered him four
hundred million. He said, I'm good, I don't want four
hundred million. So then he goes to the Yankees and
they offered him five hundred million initially after the trade,
before the Otani thing, so five hundred million dollars. Hey,
I'm good, I don't I need the five hundred million.
(08:51):
So then he gets up to past seven hundred million,
so it skips the six hundred million.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It goes past that and then in.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
The seven hundred million dollar range, and it ends up
at Evan one hundred and sixty five million dead presidents
for Juan Soto.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
And now what do we hate about this?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What are we able to So right away, the obvious
is there is no way this works out for the
entire length of the contract, assuming that Sodo does not
opt out, and we have to read all the fine
print that will come out in the coming days, but
assuming that Sodo will say in the next fifteen years
here plays out the contract, which likely won't happen. But
if it does in that dimension to the multiverse, then
(09:31):
the reality of the situation is that you're really talking
about the next five to seven years, and after that
all bets are off. So the Mets have a five
to seven year winner, not a fifteen year window. Five
to seven year window. So I did the math on this.
I did Malard math. So Juan Soto is twenty six
years old. So he's twenty six years old. The backside
(09:55):
of this contract is going to be ugly, ugly.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
The backside of the contract.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So if you do the math on this, the athletic
prime ends outside of the performance at anything drugs in sports.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Your athletic prime ends at thirty two. So then there's
a decline.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So that means assuming the Soto's not going down to
the pharmacy, that he's doing this on the up and up,
he's clean, then five to seven years, that's it, and
you maybe squeeze out another extra year after that. But
the backside of the contract is going to be a disaster.
And as I have said all along, these massive contracts,
it's not my money.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
If you want to burn your money on.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Some highly coveted, bougie elitist baseball player, more power to you.
Good for you if you get the kind of money
to burn. So I don't really worry about that part
of it. Although the issue here is you got to
win one World Series. Now, the Dodgers have given out
a lot of these contracts. They're all going to blow
up eventually. The Dodgers even worse, they're paying out deferred
money for years and years and years and years and
(10:55):
years and years. But Otani, they won a World Series. Check,
so he's already the kind of tracks fine mookie bets.
They've won a World Series with him. So if you
get one of those three hundred plus four hundred plus
million dollar contracts, you have to get at least one
World Series. Both those guys have done it. Will one
Soto do it with the Mets?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Will they? They haven't won a long time. I have
won in a very long time.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Social media did not exist the last time the Mets
won the World Series. Did not exist, all right. Now,
the second part is how can the Mets make this
one Soto contract work with the bean counters? How can
they make this work. I know you're very concerned about
the finances of the Metropolitans, so I have done the
(11:37):
calculus on this, the malor math on this as well.
So let me explain this to you like you're in kindergarten. Okay,
So in business, in business, this is a deal. It's
similar to Costco's inflation proof.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Four dollars and ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Cent rotisserie chicken or the one dollar and fifty cent
hot dog and drink. It's very similar to that. It's
a loss leader onan Soto is a lost.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Leader for the New York Mets.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
That you overpay for Juan Soto thinking that other players
will want to play for the Mets to play with
Juan Soto and that you will end up being profitable.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
In other areas, there's more of a buzz.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You get more people to watch your games on TV,
which leads to higher advertising rates. You also have more
people that attend your games and buy more merchandise and
all that stuff. And so you overpay for Sodo knowing
that you're not going to make money on that because
if you look at the numbers on this, the reason
the Otani contract, the reason the Otani contract worked out
(12:43):
the way it did, is because the Dodgers could get
that money back from Japan. They're houring themselves out, the
Dodgers in Japan, and that's where they're getting their new money.
They've already maxed out the LA market, so they're now
getting money from the Japanese fans, and that's why they're
gonna get the money back on the contract. Plus they're paying.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Most of it out deferred anyway, so.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You overpay knowing it ain't gonna work out on that
contract at all. And the classic move in business, classic
move in business.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
In sports, it's a little more complicated.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
The loss leader, as we said, involves a player at
a price that is not going to be profitable based
on There's no way Soda can live up to that
contract unless he hit like one hundred home runs a
year and drove in two hundred and fifty runs or
something like that. But it is used to attract new
customers or go fans, and so the products and services
(13:39):
and advertising ratings. Ratings go up, advertising goes up, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera. But Steve Cohen is so rich
he would have to live forty thousand years to spend
all the money, and we know that's not possible, right,
And he's not going to bury his money like they
used to supposedly did in the ancient days.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So you got to get rid of the money and
might as.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well give it to one Sodo because you're, you know,
you want to want the Mets to win and all
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
You're a fanboy, and that's it all right now?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
The last word here the losing locker room, the Yankees.
Will the Yankees and Brian Cashman be haunted hundred for
not being able to get the deal done with Juan Soda.
So I'm gonna nod my head. Yes, I'm gonna nod
my head. Yes, this is a very Unyankee like move right.
(14:27):
They always got who they wanted, who they truly wanted,
especially a guy that had played for them. So this
is holy machismo, Batman. What happened were the Pinstripe, the Yankees,
the Mighty New York Yankees, the Big Bad Bronx Bomber,
And you're gonna go play.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
For that other team.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah, and there is that elitism again. I do the
same crap. We used to love basketball before basketball stopped
trying in the regular season. We start out basketball a
lot on the show. And it's a similar dynamic to
the Lakers and the Cliff As I said, Oh, Kawhi
Leonard was supposed to.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Go to the Lake? How could he go to the Clippers?
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
He retired as soon as he signed with the Clippers.
Maybe Jan Soto or retired too with the Mets. He'll
still get paid. He'll show up maybe a couple of
games a year, like Kawhi Leonard does that loser with
the Clippers where he shows up every once in a while. Anyway,
Now get back to the point. So this is a
blue to the manhood is what it is? Castration situation,
(15:25):
if you will. The Yankees have always always positioned themselves
as the guys who get what they want right. That's
their m all, That's how they operate there. So it
is a masculating and one sodo. He got a taste
of life in the Bronx. He got a taste to
wearing the pin stripes and playing for the Yankees. You
got into the World Series and none of that mattered
(15:46):
because he's not about winning.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
See that's the thing. He's about getting paid. I get it.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
It's not about winning. It's about getting as much money
as you can and you finish. Maybe the Mets will
win at some point, and if not, who cares. I
guess seven hundred and sixty five large, seven hundred and
sixty five million.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
But the Yankees get.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Out bid by their roommates. If you were the Little Brothers,
that's what happened here, Steve Cohen. No need though, for
a pity party for the Yankees. Now they have a
lot of money to spend, and they can get quantity
over elite quality and whether that's Pete Alonzo or Christian
Walker who are available, they can get the trademarket, free agency,
(16:24):
you can get starting pitching. So the Yankees will add
two or three players instead of Wan. So maybe that
works out better for them, at least in the short term.
We'll see how that works out in the long term.
Speaker 2 (16:36):

well with you were back at it, hanging out on

for everyone's purposes and our lead. This hour we'll get
start play the hits. More man, play the hits. We'll
talk about what happened Monday night.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Football.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Now, this is the difference between the NFL and every
other sport. If two bad teams play on a random night,
we don't talk about them in baseball or basketball or hockey,
but in football, crap bag Bengals and the terrible Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
And here we are breaking the game down. Why not?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
That's the beauty of the National Football League. So a
matchup of losers wrapping up the week fourteen card in
the NFL on Monday Night football and Joe Burrow leading
the Bengals traveling caravan into Texas for a little wrestling
match with Mica Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys in a
(18:46):
game that would have a.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Very memorable ending.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
You had Joe Bock, Troy Aikman, there, Bart Simpson, Homer Simpson.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Boy.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That was a disaster. By the way, whoever thought that
was a good idea should be fired. My god. Anyway,
I know that was not designed for me. That was
not designed for me, but.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Still, holy crap? Was that terrible man?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
That was so bad? How did that get green lighted?
That Simpson's alt broadcast? Seriously, I mean, I guess if
you smoked enough, Weedy enjoyed it. But for the rest,
holy crap. Anyway, every gimmick imaginable to try to get
people to watch. They pulled it all out, but we
watched so you would not have to watch. And Joe Burrow,
(19:28):
the hero, he threw a tie breaking forty yard catch
and run to Jamar Chase into the end zone running
through the Dallas defense after a botched blocked punt by
the Cowboys that set the game up for Dallas to win.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
The guy they had the game in the bag, and
they gave the bag away.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
The blocked punt. More on that Cincinnati. That all happened
final two minutes there as the Bengals win over the
Cowboys twenty seven to twenty final score. The Cowboys were
about to get the ball back with all their timeouts,
score tied at twenty.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Field goal.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You run out the clock, at least you for Cincinnati
to use all their timeouts. They had their timeouts. You
kick the field goal. You have a great kicker. Allegedly
you're up twenty three to twenty. The Bengals get the
ball back, possibly with just seconds left, and you win
the game. You win the game. So about to get
the ball back. First play, the very first play after
(20:30):
the two minute warning, Nick vigil with a blocked punt
of Cincinnati, and then the thing happened that cannot happen.
A player that we have never heard of. I'm sure
LaVar Arrington knows who he is, because he went to
Penn State. But Amani Oore tried to field the bouncing ball. Now,
(20:53):
as you know, a football is not round. It does
not bounce like a basketball, bouncy ball. It is a football,
and if you try to catch a football on the bounce,
you're not guaranteed of being able to catch it. If
you didn't believe me, you saw the Monday night game
or heard what happened, you know, the bouncing ball. Instead
(21:15):
of leaving it alone, which would have given possession to Dallas,
if you just get out of the way and treat
it like a live hand grenade.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
You'll get the ball. But instead this numb nuts tries
to field the ball, and well we know what happened.
He could not hold out of the ball.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The Bengals recover and they get a fresh set set
of downs at the Cincinnati forty three yard line with
a minute fifty three to go. And then the Cowboy
defense came out in the field and they went, hooray,
holy ole ole. They were Maddy doors. They were absolutely matters. Now,
the better story isn't losing locker room. You could argue
(21:55):
both these teams were losers, but we'll focus in on
the Cowboys. There's a lot to break down on that part.
So what does this latest loss, my math is correct,
the eighth loss of the year, sixth home loss, the
most the team has had in many years.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
There the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
What is this latest loss by the Mike McCarthy Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Tell us, So, I have poet laureate John F.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Kennedy and trigonometry, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make some Texas barbecue.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Which you know, if you.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Play for the Cowboys you suck, at least you got
good barbecue. So you got that going for it. So
a right off the top, this is a direct reflection
of Mike McCarthy. This is a direct reflection of Mike McCarthy,
the head coach. Because as we like to point out,
and I got this from the late great Mike Leach,
May he rest in peace, that you're either coaching it.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Or you're allowing it to happen.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
And there is a constant thread with this particular Cowboy
team about the level of play the football IQ on
the Cowboys. Now, Mike McCarthy said of the boxed recovery,
it's definitely a tough learning opportunity the Cowboy coach said,
what a load of manure? What a loaderman this last
(23:17):
I shake you? Maybe I'm wrong in this. I don't
not just the Overnight Show. This is not Pop Warner Okay,
it's not high school, it's not college. It's the supposedly
the highest level of professional football, the NFL. Okay, and
you don't know how to stay away from a block punt?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Like what do I know?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I haven't played since high school, and I know if
you block a kick, you get away from the kick.
I'm not that right, but I'm smarter than Dallas Cowboys.
I'm smarter than your average Dallas cowboy because I know
if you block a cake, you stay away from the kick.
So I guess I've got to higher football like you.
But in reality, it is a symbolic moment. The poet
(23:58):
laureate Bill Callahan would say of the Dallas Cowboys, we
gotta be the dubbess team in America in terms of
playing the game. That's the Cowboys, my god, And it's
been that way all year. Did I not mention in
a previous monologue wide receivers running into each other they
(24:19):
were running across and bam right into each other. In
a game earlier this year. So there's talent, there's talent
basic fundamentals, which I thought maybe coaching, oh think could
argue if you don't know how to play the game
by the time you get to the NFL, like, what
are you doing now? Cincinnati again, they tried to give
(24:40):
the game to the Cowboys in it. We don't want it,
you take it. We want we don't need it. We
get a higher draft pick.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Ed what man?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Wow, The Cowboys said, we're good. You take it back.
We're good, all right. Now the story within the story
as well, You've got Micah Parsons who was so broken
up by the botched specialty play that he left the
field before time expired at the end of the loss.
Now we have seen this from time to time. I
(25:09):
recall in years past Randy Moss did this famously with
the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
He left the field early.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I think they're playing the Washington Redskins if I remember correctly,
And it's happened a few other times over the years.
So this latest example, Micah Parsons leaving the Monday night
football game early. What does this signify to you? So
for me and I'll go first here and you can
check in. I'll give out the number in a few minutes.
But for me, it's confirmation. Okay, it's confirmation. And what
(25:36):
do we always say one of the slogans, I've been
doing this a long time. One of my slogans has
always been the better story is in the losing locker room.
And this is a great example. Most games are lost,
they're not one. Now, you could argue both teams lost
that game, but the Cowboys lost it more prolifically by
trying to field the punt where they would have gotten
the ball without even trying to feel that they would
(25:57):
have gotten the ball.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
That would have been their ball, and they would have.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Had it inside Cincinnati territory with a kicker that can
kick it from El Paso.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Anyway, I digress. And the great John F.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Kennedy, who actually was assassinated in Dallas, so this is appropriate.
His quote was, victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Is an orphan.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
And this is an example right and unprofessional behavior by
Micah Parsons, supposed to be a leader and in difficult
times losing being embarrassed like the Cowboys are on a
semi weekly basis your true character is revealed Michaeh. Parson's
true characters, huffing and puffing and leaving the field early
boooooo and all that. He took his cleats and said,
(26:43):
that's it.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I'm out of here. Now.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Keep in mind he also pitched a shutout. Did you
know that? Maybe you didn't know that, maybe you weren't watching.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
You had as many tackles you you.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Listening to my voice, right, You as many tackles, as
many sacks as Michah Parsons.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
So did I in that game.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
We both had the same number of tackles, the same
number of sacks as Micah Parsons squad Douche bumpkis. He
had none, no real impact plays in that game at all,
bottled up by the Bengals. Micah Parsons, who continues to
(27:24):
be an All Pro podcaster, not an all Pro player.
He had that two game stretch against the Jets and
the Giants where he came out like gangbusters and was
the greatest player since Lawrence Taylor and since then. He
he looks good, built like adnnis, doesn't always play like that,
able to be boxed up on a regular basis.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Here, my God and far the whole leadership thing.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
There is a leadership vacuum, I would argue not so
much there for Michael Parsons. All right, now the last
word here, now that the Cowboys lost yet another game,
is it now time for the Cowboys to pull the
plug and bench Cooper Rush and go with Trey Lance
(28:11):
at quarterback the rest of the way starting in week fifteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,
and eighteen.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Just put Trey Lance out there.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
So I'm nodding my head, yes, And as I learned
long ago, it is not trigonometry.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It is not trigonometry.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Any realistic chance that Dallas had to make the playoffs
has long been extinguished over Cooper Rush is just not
that guy, pal, He's not that guy. You know, say what,
the Cowboys were in position to win the game. I
would counter that by pointing out that against one of
(28:48):
the worst defenses in NFL play this season, if not
in recent years altogether, the Cincinnati defense, I think we
can all agree on that. That's a bipartisan is shoe.
The defense is just terrible, right, just They're horrible across
the board. Cooper Rush had less than two hundred yards
(29:09):
passing average less than six yards per pass attempt against
a god awful, horrific Cincinnati Bengals defense. Cincinnati cross every
statistic that matters. They're bad at defensively, and they've gotten
worse as the season's gone on. They're the laughing stock
of the NFL. But yet, in this game, the Cowboys
(29:31):
held the twenty points. They had over three hundred yards offense,
which isn't that impressive when you're playing the Bengals.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
You should be over four hundred and fifty or five
hundred yards of offense. Dallas sucked on third down, They
turned the ball over multiple times, and Jerry Jones, by
not playing Trey Lance, will be admitting he fed up,
all right. He traded, if I'm not mistaken, a fourth
round draft pick to the forty nine ers to get
(29:58):
Trey Lance as a developmental player. So he drafted him
to development, to development his ability. Uh, here's the perfect opportunity.
The Cowboys are done, it's over, they're not going to
the playoffs. Okay, so you've got a few games left,
and there's there's two reasons you play him. Now, there's
(30:21):
two reasons. The first reason is it gives you another
reason to watch. There's not a lot of reasons to watch.
The Cowboys are a bad team, and that not that
they're boring because they do crazy things, but they're just bad. Right,
there's bad. They're dumb team, the Cowboys poorly coached team.
So you've got that. And also the other thing is
(30:41):
from a strategic standpoint, if Trey Lance shows a spark,
if he shows that that it factor over the last
few games, you could sucker someone else to trade you
something of value for Trey Lance conceivable, right, Or you
could keep him in your plan in fortify your roster
(31:03):
by keeping him, or you could work something out where
you you.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Get rid of him.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
But either way, I mean, what is the point of
doing what you've been doing with Cooper Rush? You guy's
not good. I mean maybe for a week or two
is a backup, okay, but now you want to see
him the rest of the year.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
My God.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
