(01:44):
this hour start with not the Sunday night game that
was a bit of a dud, no contests, so instead
we'll talk about the game. We're gonna start anyway, with
the game of the day in the NFL in New York.
There's only one team that plays in New York. It's
not the Jets, it's not the Giants. That would be
(02:05):
the team in Buffalo, Sleepy Orchard Park, New York, to
be exact, and that was the venue for the latest
matchup in the quarterback rivalry of rivalries Josh Allen and
the Bills versus Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and then
trying to recreate the Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning rivalry
(02:26):
of years gone by and trying to sell that, and
they're selling it that this is the same in Mahomes
wins in the playoffs like Brady.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
But then you look at Manning and.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
That's Josh Allen and Manning a terrible big game quarterback.
Every man, woman and child knows that. And Josh Allen
his number is not bad in big games, but he
always finds away his team to f it up.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So that was the setup. Yet, Jim Nance and Tony Romo.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
They were there and you know, doing their thing and
all that. Right, that's right, jam Hello friends, Yes, so
if you were watching, you know what happened. But possibly
not possibly not the raining MVP Josh Allen throwing a
touchdown pass and ran for not one, but two scores,
and he actually outplayed Patrick Mahomes, out played in there,
(03:16):
and the Buffalo Bills get to win. Chiefs had the
ball trund for that hill Mary throw of eight there.
They get to win though. Twenty eight twenty one, Buffalo
over Kansas City in a rematch of big playoff games,
including the AFC Championship game a year ago. James Cook
adding one hundred and fourteen yards rushing. The Buffalo defense
(03:38):
was all over Patrick Mahomes in this game. Sacked him
three times. They hit him fifteen more times as Mahomes
had trouble getting rid of the football. Bad job by him.
Got to make adjustments if your offensive lines dinged up.
Mahomes did not make those adjustments, and so, for the
first time in his NFL career, Patrick Mahomes completed less
(03:59):
than half of his passes. It never happened, Oh my god,
but it did now. And so he completed less than
half his passes. He went fifteen of thirty four passing,
Mahomes less than fifty percent throwing the ball. The argument, well,
some of those were late in the game, the desperation
trying to come back there, the hail Mary which didn't
(04:20):
even get to the end zone.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
So we're gonna break this down now. The better story
is in the losing locker room. So here is the
one and only Patrick Mahomes pointing out that apparently the
Chiefs they've not done well.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
In close games. Let's start with that.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So here's Mahomes on the fact that the Chiefs are
winless this year in close games.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
What's that about?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
We kind of been and all these tight close games
and our history, but they're not going our way now,
So how can we deal with that adversity? How can
we be better and learn from it? I mean, you
only learn for so many losses. I mean you got
to learn from it fast and sm me and uphill
battle when we get back. But I think our guys are.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Up cut out early. What's going on in the editing.
I don't understand what goes on back there. I'm sorry,
it's just in that.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Very end of it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
But anyway, here's more. Here is Patrick Mahomes. Let's see
how the editors f this up. Here's Mahomes on the
urgency and the fact that apparently there's no cupcakes on
the schedule.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
According to Mahomes, tall is like I said, we got.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
To learn from it, but it's kind of like you
got to do it now, Like there's there's no there's
no easy game coming up, and there's no more chances
that we can really take losses. So I mean, you
got to learn from it fast, and we've got to
be better as a team. Offensively, We've got to be better,
especially on some of those big drives we had in
the second half. And I think we'll just continue to
to to push away and learn on this by week
(05:48):
and then come back and be ready to play our
best football coming off of it.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
They're gonna be learning while they're in can Kun. They're
gonna be learning how to put suntan lotion on and
drink the proper my tie. All right, So let us
discuss the question where does this loss to the Bills
leave Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. He was pretty much
by the book with those answers as well, you know,
we got to learn, and that's what they always say,
we win or lose, you have to learn from everything.
(06:13):
Everything is a teachable moment, all right. So my thoughts
on this, I've got brain Freeze, Legend of Zelda, and
foam Finger, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we're gonna make the gobbagool. We're gonna make the gobbagool.
So a uh, this was a game for the Chiefs
(06:34):
with Mahomes here and friends, to show that they were
fully backed. The Chiefs were playing well. They had won
a few games in a row, and so it's like
they got their mojo backed. They're sitting sitting there thinking, Okay, well,
here we go. We're gonna show everyone going to Buffalo
and win that game. And that didn't happen. Obviously, that
did not happen, and Kansas City rolled backwards that there
(06:55):
was a misstep by the Chiefs in this game, and
they reverted into some bad ha habits they did. You
can't hide behind turn it on when it counts. Well,
they'll just turn it on when it counts. That doesn't
generally work here. And Buffalo's defense, who has not exactly
been world beaters. By the way, if you've been watching
the NFL this year, you know the Bills defense has
(07:17):
been shaky. They've been on the ropes at times. But
Mahomes could not hit water for a lot of this game.
And he fell out of a boat the way that
he was playing here. And don't give me the well
he doesn't have weapons. His guys are back. They were back,
they played, they had all the big weapons. Rashie Rice,
the speed racer, he was out there, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Browns.
(07:40):
I guess current Hollywood when they're not making good movies,
not old Hollywood when they made good movies. He's poor
Hollywood brown But anyway, those guys were out there. They
just didn't make enough plays in this game. Travis Kelcey
continues to look like he's a podcaster pretending to play football.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's not very good and it's.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Like a farewell tour sponsored by the AARP watching out
there and play and this was supposed to be a
measuring stick game.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It was a measuring stick game for the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And at this point they didn't say, hey, we're still
the Kings of the NFL, even though they lost to
Philadelphia in the Super Bowl where the Kings of the AFC.
They didn't do that. It was Buffalo. Here we go, Buffalo.
It was Buffalo that did the old pirouette. They did
the dance. They shook their tush right there on the
dance floor. They were getting done. The Chiefs had a
(08:29):
brief lead in the second quarter and then crumbled from
that point forward. It was a domination situation. They played
like there was a pop quiz. There was a pop quiz,
and they didn't study for the pop quiz. Bad job
by them. They got brain freese. Oh, Mike, I got
brain fraes. Now, bigger headache. That Chief's defense, to me,
(08:51):
that's the sort they was talking about. Mahomes and Momes
didn't play great.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
In this game.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yet I look at that defense in Kansas City and
what was that? At least I didn't see any plays
where they literally gave up like they did against Jacksonville. Remember,
they just allowed the Jacks to score. That touchdown one
of the most gutless moments in NFL history by a
good team. I didn't see that, but this wasn't a
masculating performance for Kansas City. Josh Allen carved them up
(09:17):
like you're gonna carve your turkey up later this month.
Absolutely carved them up. Averaged ten and a half yards
per throw, all right, ten and a half yards per
attempt for Josh Allen, which is ridonculous. James Cook was
running through mostly arm tackles in this game, and how
good was he. Buffalo as a team had ninety nine
(09:39):
more yards of offense ninety nine. They stopped at the
ninety nine seven more first downs in this game and
converted at an almost sixty percent clip on third down.
I'm told that's all good stuff. I'm told that's all
good stuff. That was a domination situation. Everyone knows, so
you don't normally. You don't normally see the Chiefs getting
(10:02):
shoved around like that. That's not typical of how that
team has played over the last couple of years. But
they did look soft at times by the Bill. Give
the Bills credit, but my god, Kansas City, what are
you doing? It's a bad job by you, and so
to me, that's the headline. Just played a soft brand
of football in this game. And at five and four,
Mahomes mentioned there's not a lot of wiggle room here.
(10:24):
The Chiefs need to get at least six more wins.
They got eight games to go, they got to come
up with six wins, so they got a couple more
losses to play with, but they got to get six
more wins.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
That'll get them to eleven wins.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Very rarely do you get to eleven wins and not
make the plays So if you can get to eleven wins,
you'll make the playoffs. Whether that's the division or whether
that's just being a wild card, you'll get in the pluff. Now,
on the Bill's side of things, as we continue our
in depth team coverage here starting the week off on
the Ben Mather Show, the question for the Bills does
this count as a signature win for Josh Allen's Buffalo
(11:02):
Bills beating Kansas City here in Week nine of the
NFL season. So we mentioned a big measuring stick game
for Kansas City, well also for Buffalo. However, however, I'm
going to say no in terms of the big picture
for the moment. Yeah, the Bills feel pretty good, right,
Bill Mafia is all fired off.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
They're excited. That's great.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
They want congratulations. However, Buffalo, what do we know. They
always beat Kansas City in the regular season.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
They always do.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
This is old news. This is old news, is what
it is. We've seen this act before. Think of this
like the Legend of Zelda, the Hero of Time. The
hero of Time known as Link in the Legend of
Zelda used to play that years ago, and this was
like clockwork for the Bills. Legend of Zelda the Hero
(11:49):
of Time, it was clockwork. This is what they do.
In November they beat Kansas City. That's what the Buffalo
Bills do. And then in January the Chiefs gut the
Bills like the aliens gutting a cow when they united
to find those aliens and come down there allegedly I'm
(12:09):
sure it's something else and just tear up the cow. Yeah,
it's like that. But it's a Buffalo and it's the
same every year, same movie every year. This year be different.
Buffalo was a slight favorite. They were at home in
this game and they won. So you get a nice
little dopamine hit, little dopamine hit the year not bad.
(12:30):
Enjoy the dopamine way to go, and the Bills mafia
will throw themselves on some tables that are lit on
fire and that'll be how that goes. So congratulations on that. However,
you're not celebrating because we know there's a lot of
games to go, a lot of games to go, and
until Josh Allen finally gets the monkey off his back.
(12:52):
He and his co workers there beat Mahomes when it
matters in the postseason, when it counts in the big
play off game down the line. This is just background noise.
It's just elevator noise, that's all it is. And they're
the kings of the regular season matchups. You get a
nice little puffy sticker. Congratulations on that way to go.
And five straight now for the Bills, five straight over
(13:15):
Kansas City when the weather's still relatively good. When the
weather's not good, they've played four times and zero for four,
including that ridiculous game at Arrowhead Stadium a couple years back.
But there you go. So the Bills in the regular
season against the Chiefs. The Bills are like a tesla.
They're smooth, they don't no gas, need it right, they
(13:38):
get plenty of gas, play of energy, right and all
that stuff. They're fast playoffs, playoffs. The Buffalo Bills off
in resort. Not a tesla. They're more like a rental
Kia with lots of dents and lots of miles on it.
And that's how that goes gonna collapse later. So it
days a deja vu, deja vu situation.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Is what it is.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
And you know, just I've a sure to do every
day obviously, so we worry about what we worry about
that particular day. But let me know, send me a
text or something, let me know when the Bills win
a game like this against Kansas City in January and
when the pressure cookers cranked up to ten.

Play the hit, small Man, one of our old bosses.
You say, play the head. That's my mom man. I will
put the hits. So we go deep in the heart
of Texas Jerry's world.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
How about him? Cowboy?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
There was final game, Final Game, Week nine on the
NFL card at the Jerry Jones Fund Zone. I saw
former Fox Sports Radio Morning personalit of there. Stephen A
was hanging out with Jerry in the box. What's in
the box? A man in a pink suit? Anyway, So
Trey McBride, the Cardinals are so bad. Trey McBride was
(15:31):
the headliner coming in this game. Trey McBride the tied
end of the Cardinals clown car rolling in to the
Cowboys crib.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
We'll match up there.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Jerry Jones' favorite NFL team, and it was on an
island game. An island game. He had Troy Aikman and
Joe Buck on the call. Did you watch? Were you
checking this game? I know, maybe not. We'll back up
quarterback Jacolby Brissett, and he wasn't supposed to play in
this game at the beginning of the week. It was
gonna be Kyler Murray, but the old switcher root and
(16:02):
so Bersett was in there. He threw not one but
two touchdowns and ran for a score as Kyler alligator
arms Murray could not play a little fella had a
small injury foot injury and the Cardinals the Cardinals a
domination situation by Arizona's Dallas was never really in this
(16:23):
game twenty seven to seventeen, raising Arizona as they get
to win there a Monday night. The Cardinals had a
five game skid, a roote that came to an end.
There they snap the losing streak with a very comfortable win,
a very very comfortable win for the team from the
(16:45):
Grand Canyon State. Now Marvin Harrison Junior, who had been
a Jag, not a Jacksonville jack just a guy in
his brief NFL career, he had a breakout game. Big
first half. The stat line was good, big first half.
Those seven catches, ninety six yards and a touchdown. There
was one play where he scored in the end zone,
(17:06):
the touchdown there where he literally broke the ankles of
the Cowboy defensive player. There great highlight for him and
Jacoby Brissett, though the headliner here. He made the third
consecutive start there for the Cardinals. They get their third
win of the year, and they win for just the
second time the stats been going around the second time
in eighteen games without the little fella alligator Arms Murray,
(17:30):
the fun sized quarterback. And so the better story, though,
is in the losing locker room. The better stories in
the losing locker room. The Cowboys were not ready to play.
Does anyone disagree with that statement? The Cowboys were not
ready to play. I don't see anyone raising their hands,
so no one disagrees. Good good job by you not disagreeing.
So they weren't ready. They were shut out in the
(17:50):
first quarter. They had a promising drive that went could
put to start the game, and then that was it.
Fumbled by my count four times. Lost a couple of
those fumbles. Dak Prescott in a helter skelter comeback situation,
had an interception, but didn't play all that well, did
not play all that well. Just a bad mess of
(18:12):
a game for the Dallas Cowboys. They're in the better
story on the losing side. So that is where we
will begin a good jumping off point. So let us
discuss the question, what does this performance with all eyes
of the football world on it, what does this performance
say about Brian Schottenheimer, Shanie and his coaching run with
(18:34):
the Dallas Cowboys. So my thoughts on this, I've got slurpee, media, mafia,
and hot pocket, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to pig.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Out point point point. We're gonna pick out, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
So my first thought on this, A let's start with
when you take a look down. You get in the
Blackhawk helicopter, not black Hawk down, the black Hawk helicopter,
and you go up in the sky and you.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Look down and you look around, look at the landscape there?
What do you see?
Speaker 7 (19:10):
All right?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So here's what I see, okay, And I'm never wrong
about these things. I'm never wrong about these things. Same
old Cowboys, That's what I see, all right, Same old
over hyped, over decorated, under discipline mess. You've got George
Pickens taunting when the Cowboys are desperately trying to get
back in the game, but he's trying to get style points.
Man you gotta get style points. Undisciplined slop is what
(19:33):
that was. Just bad football, bad football personified. That's the
epitome of the Cowboys. And so you look at Schottenheimer's
a glorified seat filler, and the man's essentially house sitting,
and he's house sitting for the ghost of Mike McCarthy's
fat ass who got let go last year. And so
it's all just a placeholder, is what it is for
(19:56):
the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, the main problem is the defense.
For for some reason, we have Shottenheimer talking about the offense.
But we'll play it because we have it.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Here we go.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
We got to play better offensively. We're better than you know,
ten points, which is all we scored. Great job by
Sam on the punt and block special teams, but for
us to score ten points offensively is not the standard,
and no one's happy about that.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, well, the people that better on the Cardinals are
very happy about that. So I don't know that no
one's happy about that. But but you look at the
Cardinals and they're not evolving. This is mid season in
the NFL. We're now done with Week nine. They only
play seventeen, So it's actually a little bit past mid season.
There there's no actual mid season. Eight and a half
weeks would be mid season, So the Cardinals and Cowboys
(20:39):
played the midway point as much as you can say.
I know some teams have had buys or whatever, so
they're just existing. The Dallas Cowboys I every week. It's
every game. It's the five o'clock follies, blown coverages to
the right, mistackles to the left, stupid penalties in the
air everywhere. That's the Dallas copy. You can practically hear
(21:01):
the circus music in the background when you watch them
try to tackle. It is fascinating how much they suck
on defense for a team that supposedly practices. And everyone
was talking up Matt Eberflus, the defensive coordinator who cut
his chops in Indianapolis as the Colts defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Got a good reputation and he's been living on that.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Got the Bears job, sucked in Chicago, goes to Dallas,
blows in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
What's next? I don't know. TV. Probably suck at TV.
We get that job too. What the hell?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
The defense, in particular the build as America's team, the
Dallas Cowboys a big selling point there, the proprietary blent.
We've heard of the Tampa two defense. You've heard of
the forty six defense by the Chicago Bears back in
the day. Legendary defenses in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys
defense is the seven to eleven defense. It's the seven
(21:54):
eleven defense because these guys look like they should be
working the night shift at a seven eleven the way
they're trying to tackle and they're playing defense there just
arm tackling, lazy angles on defense there, and you look around,
it's like, would you.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Like a slurp?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Bee, sir?
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Would you like a slurpee with those nachos? And that misassignment?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
My god? And so yet, oh boo, the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Traded Michael Parsons, their top defensive so apparently they don't
have to hustle, they don't have to tackle because just
Jerry Jones traded Michael Barton. So that is the ultimate Okay,
we blow, let's not try to get better excuse and
then am I correct on?
Speaker 6 (22:34):
That?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Is that how this works? Okay? I know Jerry's trying
to find some.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Gloryhole, but the Cowboy I get that they traded Michael
Parsons it's a team game. You put the collective unit together.
If you tackle as a team, you play discipline football.
And I'm not a cowboy fan. I don't have skin
in the game. I just want to watch and observe this.
It's like, okay, the sum of the parts, well, the
sum of the parts is, let's make some business decisions
(22:58):
and not will not hustle on certain plays.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
And all that. My god, there's no rallying again.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Just a lot of business decisions mixed with lazy angles
and arm tackling and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
It's like a garage seal out there.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Jacoby frickin Brissett sliced you up.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
He diced you up. Jacoby Brissett.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Jacoby Brissett like a surgeon doing outpatient work. He averaged
eight point four yards per pass. Jacoby Brissett did that
to you? Where'd he hurt you?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Everywhere?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
He hurts you everywhere. Two passing touchdowns, one on the ground.
Let me repeat that for those of your little slocas
it's at night here. Jacoby Brissett did that. He did that.
That's not bad luck. It's not bad luck. That's that's
bad football. That's that's Brian Schottenheimer's Dallas Cowboy. The Cowboys
are who we thought they were, a mirage with nice
(23:56):
logos on their helmet. They have good, good logos there
and they do look novel. It's getting off the bus.
Don't they look good those uniforms and they look solid
now when they actually play. It's rather discussing Dak Prescott sucked.
What happened to that MVP campaign for Dak Prescott. It's
in a ditch on the side of the road. Anyway,
here's Dak Prescott with his latest excuse on the Dallas Cowboys,
(24:17):
riding the vomit comet.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
Tigles so frustrating because because I'm not just going to
accept that, oh, this team is inconsistent. This team is
just up and down like we're going to be as
long as we ride the wave of you know, the
media and you know the media and the media game
to the next and not putting the blame on you guys.
But you know, we want to game and we feel
really good about ourselves. And you think you're just going
to go in the next next week and smack that
(24:39):
opponent and you don't, then you know, you you feel
litt upset and you look in the mirror, and you
come back and you give give a better performance. You know,
that's what's been happening this year other than tonight. And
so when you've put two bad games or two ugly
losses back to back, you gotta find answers.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
We know the answers. You suck. Your team sucks. That's it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
You're never going You're you're the definition of blah cow.
Doesn't win seven games or eight games or something along
those lines. They'll finish around five hundred and they're not
making the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Playoffs. That's how happened.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, on the Arizona side of things, everyone's been yapping.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
We'll frame the question this way. Every one's been yappening here.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Both ABC broadcasters Troy Aikman and Joe Buck said they
expect the Arizona Cardinals to stick with quarterback Jacoby Brissett
that seems like kind of a big deal, and not
go back to Kyler Murray. So again, both Joe Buck
and Troy Aikman going on the record that they believe
Kyler Murray has lost his job, he has been demoted,
(25:42):
that he has been put in the doghouse in favor
of Jacoby Brissett. Is this something or is this nothing?
So at first glance you say, well, who cares what
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman say. They're just a couple
of media hacks. They don't now anything like That's what
(26:02):
the low information fan would say.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It's something. I'm telling you it's something here. They're not
hot take guys. Akeman and Buck are not hot take guys.
They're well compensated for what they do. They're the Fox refugees.
They ran off to ESPN to get the big pile
of money. They're then free agency. Good for them, Good
for them. But Joe Buck and Troy Aikman do not
(26:28):
dabble in the social media hot take ecosystem. That's not
what they do here. They are made men. Joe Buck
and Troy Aikman are made men. They are they're in
the elite NFL media mafia. And when you're in the mafia,
and you're a made man in the media mafia, you
don't speak out of class.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
You don't do it. You cannot do it because they'll
whack you. They will whack you.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
And so what I'm imagining happened here just based on
connecting the dots is that they are simply regurgitating Buck
and Aikman what they heard in the little pregame pow Wow.
They're Starbucks huddle with Jonathan Gannon, the coach of the Cardinals,
and the Arizona staff, the people that they meet with there.
(27:13):
Lattee in one hand and then you've got the laminated
play sheet in the other. You sit around a round
table in a hotel ballroom and it's the Brotherhood of Intel's,
that's what it is. You get the coaches all comfortable,
they're all relaxed there over a little maple bar, possibly
a Long John, but most likely a maple bar double espresso.
(27:35):
You've got that going there, and they just start talking
and they just start chirping. And you don't have to
be an NFL guru. You don't have to be some
kind of guru here. You can just simply read between
the lines on this and you know inside that building,
Kyler Murray's the guy you want at the controls. If
(27:56):
you're trying to win a Call of Duty tournament, that
is the guy you want. There's no one else on
the Cardinals you would want out there other than Kyler Murray.
You give him the joystick and you get out of
the way. You let the man's little fingers work its magic. Okay,
that's what your dad.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
If you actually want to win football games, that's something.
And now again call of duty, tournament thumbs and blazing
there for Kyler Head said on NFL Team No, No,
you knew right away. This is one of the rare
deals where the team signed the player to the extension
and immediately had buyer's remorse.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Like, what did we do? Holy f why did we
do that?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You knew they signed the wrong player when they had
to put a clause in there to actually do your
job and watch film, and then they had to take
it out because he was so embarrassed. He got called
out on being a terrible employee. Little Kyler Murray there.
So you look at it is like Brissett, he's not
very good. However, he's the adult in the room, and
(28:56):
I appear they want that. He's got a bunch of
moles warts. Jacoby Brissett, You're not going to go anywhere
with him as quarterback. He's limited, his arm's not that great.
He's been around a lot of miles on the odometer
for Jacoby Brissett. But he does show up on time,
and he knows the offense, he can command the huddle,
all that stuff, and he does not need juice boxes
(29:20):
in between a series of offense. In practice, they don't
need to give him a juice box and some orange slices.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
He's okay. So that's there is that. That's good.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Still hard to get all tingley the idea that Jacoby
Brissett will take over as the quarterback there and another
one of these guys talked about Brian Schottenheimer being a
seat filler. Well, if Brissett is the guy, he would
be the personification of a seat filler there and the Cardinals.
It's really difficult to get a great read on any
(29:50):
of this because the Dallas Cowboys defense, you know, like
to some teams drive luxury buses to the stadium. For
some reason, the Cowboys ride the short bus. I don't
know why that they take the short bust there. And
so we're not going to pretend this is some kind
of great accomplishment by the Cardinals. I mean, I didn't
think they were going to play that well. I thought
at least the Cowboys offense would be able to do
stuff they didn't in this game. Nevertheless, back to the point,
(30:13):
just to put the ball on this so Aikman and
Buck again, they're made men football elite, elite, media mafia
of the NFL, the media mafia. They're in that inner circle, right,
those top level guys, they get all the goodies, all
the goodies here, So they're not gonna just drop a
nugget like that on national team. I don't think that's random.
(30:34):
I believe that is a dead giveaway. That's a tell,
that is a tel. The Cardinals are quietly moving off
the Kyler Murray fantasy and they're settling into the mud
with Jacoby Brissett adult supervision until they get some other
Jabroni next season. Now, the trade deadline is today. Wouldn't
it be wild if the Cardinals sat out Kyler Murray
(30:57):
to trade him. Where would they trade the Saints? That's
the only obvious destination at this point. Like the Saints
are terrible, worst team since nineteen eighty, They don't have
a quarterback, and they got money to burn. They can
move some numbers around, make make it work if salary
caps fugazy anyway, all right, last word.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Back to that Cowboys, Back to the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
So following the latest ass whooping at the hands of
the opponent in case this case Arizona low the Arizona
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as he often does, gave a
State of the Cowboys address postgame, and he said the
money quote here, and he said a lot the one
that stood out to me that I'd like to share
with you right now. Jerry Jones said, quote, I like
our nuts and bolts. I don't like what's happening to
(31:43):
our nuts and bolts though close quote from Jerry Jones.
So question, can you decode what Jerry Jones means when
he says he likes the Cowboys nuts and bolts?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
All right? So yeah, all right, nah using.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
The mallar Rosetta stone, the mallor Rosetta stone translation translation,
Jerry taking time for a modest flex, modest flex in
front of the mirror. In front of the mirror. Now,
Jerry's not blaming himself. He's definitely not blaming himself on this.
(32:22):
In fact, he's braggadocious. He's bragging about the shopping list.
He's like, man, am I a great gm look at
the town, the nuts and bolts.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
That's me. I did that I did that. That's my team.
I put that team together.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
He's essentially saying, hey, I'm broad amazing ingredients into the kitchen.
These are such great ingredients. Unfortunately the chef can't cook.
I know I hired him too, but he can't cook
with my delicious ingredients.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Jerry thinks he's like Gordon Ramsey wearing a ten gallon
hat and looking for gloryhole.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
And the roster in Jerry's head is a Michelin Star roster.
It's a menu of Michelin Star for wagou beef, truffle oil,
all that stuff, all the fix and all the trimmings
and all that. And what comes out of the kitchen
for the cowboys is a microwaved hot pocket. That's what
comes out of the kitchen, a sou flea that is
(33:24):
collapsing on a weekly basis there, and it's burning in
the oven. And Brian Schottenheimer, the coach there, is arguing
with the smoke alarm, saying it's not my fault. It's
not burning. It's the smoke alarm that's malfunctioning. I would
not burn this food at all. And it's a classic
Jerry Jones humble brag. It's like I am the GM
(33:45):
and I am a genius. Look at those players, they're
just not executing. They're underachieving. But it's not because of me. No, no, no,
they're underachievers, but not because of Mete. No no, no no.
Jerry loves the nuts and the bolt. She loves the
nuts and the balls. He just putting an actual winning
football team on the field. Eh. The blueprint though, is
(34:07):
there solid blueprint? It's the contractor that's the problem. You
got a bad contractor. They don't know what you're doing.

Com The Way Tire Buying Show be So our lead
(01:44):
this hour start with not the Sunday night game that
was a bit of a dud, no contests, so instead
we'll talk about the game. We're gonna start anyway, with
the game of the day in the NFL in New York.
There's only one team that plays in New York. It's
not the Jets, it's not the Giants. That would be
(02:05):
the team in Buffalo, Sleepy Orchard Park, New York, to
be exact, and that was the venue for the latest
matchup in the quarterback rivalry of rivalries Josh Allen and
the Bills versus Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and then
trying to recreate the Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning rivalry
(02:26):
of years gone by and trying to sell that, and
they're selling it that this is the same in Mahomes
wins in the playoffs like Brady.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
But then you look at Manning and.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
That's Josh Allen and Manning a terrible big game quarterback.
Every man, woman and child knows that. And Josh Allen
his number is not bad in big games, but he
always finds away his team to f it up.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So that was the setup. Yet, Jim Nance and Tony Romo.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
They were there and you know, doing their thing and
all that. Right, that's right, jam Hello friends, Yes, so
if you were watching, you know what happened. But possibly
not possibly not the raining MVP Josh Allen throwing a
touchdown pass and ran for not one, but two scores,
and he actually outplayed Patrick Mahomes, out played in there,
(03:16):
and the Buffalo Bills get to win. Chiefs had the
ball trund for that hill Mary throw of eight there.
They get to win though. Twenty eight twenty one, Buffalo
over Kansas City in a rematch of big playoff games,
including the AFC Championship game a year ago. James Cook
adding one hundred and fourteen yards rushing. The Buffalo defense
(03:38):
was all over Patrick Mahomes in this game. Sacked him
three times. They hit him fifteen more times as Mahomes
had trouble getting rid of the football. Bad job by him.
Got to make adjustments if your offensive lines dinged up.
Mahomes did not make those adjustments, and so, for the
first time in his NFL career, Patrick Mahomes completed less
(03:59):
than half of his passes. It never happened, Oh my god,
but it did now. And so he completed less than
half his passes. He went fifteen of thirty four passing,
Mahomes less than fifty percent throwing the ball. The argument, well,
some of those were late in the game, the desperation
trying to come back there, the hail Mary which didn't
(04:20):
even get to the end zone.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
So we're gonna break this down now. The better story
is in the losing locker room. So here is the
one and only Patrick Mahomes pointing out that apparently the
Chiefs they've not done well.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
In close games. Let's start with that.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So here's Mahomes on the fact that the Chiefs are
winless this year in close games.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
What's that about?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
We kind of been and all these tight close games
and our history, but they're not going our way now,
So how can we deal with that adversity? How can
we be better and learn from it? I mean, you
only learn for so many losses. I mean you got
to learn from it fast and sm me and uphill
battle when we get back. But I think our guys are.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Up cut out early. What's going on in the editing.
I don't understand what goes on back there. I'm sorry,
it's just in that.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Very end of it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
But anyway, here's more. Here is Patrick Mahomes. Let's see
how the editors f this up. Here's Mahomes on the
urgency and the fact that apparently there's no cupcakes on
the schedule.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
According to Mahomes, tall is like I said, we got.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
To learn from it, but it's kind of like you
got to do it now, Like there's there's no there's
no easy game coming up, and there's no more chances
that we can really take losses. So I mean, you
got to learn from it fast, and we've got to
be better as a team. Offensively, We've got to be better,
especially on some of those big drives we had in
the second half. And I think we'll just continue to
to to push away and learn on this by week
(05:48):
and then come back and be ready to play our
best football coming off of it.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
They're gonna be learning while they're in can Kun. They're
gonna be learning how to put suntan lotion on and
drink the proper my tie. All right, So let us
discuss the question where does this loss to the Bills
leave Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. He was pretty much
by the book with those answers as well, you know,
we got to learn, and that's what they always say,
we win or lose, you have to learn from everything.
(06:13):
Everything is a teachable moment, all right. So my thoughts
on this, I've got brain Freeze, Legend of Zelda, and
foam Finger, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we're gonna make the gobbagool. We're gonna make the gobbagool.
So a uh, this was a game for the Chiefs
(06:34):
with Mahomes here and friends, to show that they were
fully backed. The Chiefs were playing well. They had won
a few games in a row, and so it's like
they got their mojo backed. They're sitting sitting there thinking, Okay, well,
here we go. We're gonna show everyone going to Buffalo
and win that game. And that didn't happen. Obviously, that
did not happen, and Kansas City rolled backwards that there
(06:55):
was a misstep by the Chiefs in this game, and
they reverted into some bad ha habits they did. You
can't hide behind turn it on when it counts. Well,
they'll just turn it on when it counts. That doesn't
generally work here. And Buffalo's defense, who has not exactly
been world beaters. By the way, if you've been watching
the NFL this year, you know the Bills defense has
(07:17):
been shaky. They've been on the ropes at times. But
Mahomes could not hit water for a lot of this game.
And he fell out of a boat the way that
he was playing here. And don't give me the well
he doesn't have weapons. His guys are back. They were back,
they played, they had all the big weapons. Rashie Rice,
the speed racer, he was out there, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Browns.
(07:40):
I guess current Hollywood when they're not making good movies,
not old Hollywood when they made good movies. He's poor
Hollywood brown But anyway, those guys were out there. They
just didn't make enough plays in this game. Travis Kelcey
continues to look like he's a podcaster pretending to play football.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's not very good and it's.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Like a farewell tour sponsored by the AARP watching out
there and play and this was supposed to be a
measuring stick game.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It was a measuring stick game for the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And at this point they didn't say, hey, we're still
the Kings of the NFL, even though they lost to
Philadelphia in the Super Bowl where the Kings of the AFC.
They didn't do that. It was Buffalo. Here we go, Buffalo.
It was Buffalo that did the old pirouette. They did
the dance. They shook their tush right there on the
dance floor. They were getting done. The Chiefs had a
(08:29):
brief lead in the second quarter and then crumbled from
that point forward. It was a domination situation. They played
like there was a pop quiz. There was a pop quiz,
and they didn't study for the pop quiz. Bad job
by them. They got brain freese. Oh, Mike, I got
brain fraes. Now, bigger headache. That Chief's defense, to me,
(08:51):
that's the sort they was talking about. Mahomes and Momes
didn't play great.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
In this game.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yet I look at that defense in Kansas City and
what was that? At least I didn't see any plays
where they literally gave up like they did against Jacksonville. Remember,
they just allowed the Jacks to score. That touchdown one
of the most gutless moments in NFL history by a
good team. I didn't see that, but this wasn't a
masculating performance for Kansas City. Josh Allen carved them up
(09:17):
like you're gonna carve your turkey up later this month.
Absolutely carved them up. Averaged ten and a half yards
per throw, all right, ten and a half yards per
attempt for Josh Allen, which is ridonculous. James Cook was
running through mostly arm tackles in this game, and how
good was he. Buffalo as a team had ninety nine
(09:39):
more yards of offense ninety nine. They stopped at the
ninety nine seven more first downs in this game and
converted at an almost sixty percent clip on third down.
I'm told that's all good stuff. I'm told that's all
good stuff. That was a domination situation. Everyone knows, so
you don't normally. You don't normally see the Chiefs getting
(10:02):
shoved around like that. That's not typical of how that
team has played over the last couple of years. But
they did look soft at times by the Bill. Give
the Bills credit, but my god, Kansas City, what are
you doing? It's a bad job by you, and so
to me, that's the headline. Just played a soft brand
of football in this game. And at five and four,
Mahomes mentioned there's not a lot of wiggle room here.
(10:24):
The Chiefs need to get at least six more wins.
They got eight games to go, they got to come
up with six wins, so they got a couple more
losses to play with, but they got to get six
more wins.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
That'll get them to eleven wins.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Very rarely do you get to eleven wins and not
make the plays So if you can get to eleven wins,
you'll make the playoffs. Whether that's the division or whether
that's just being a wild card, you'll get in the pluff. Now,
on the Bill's side of things, as we continue our
in depth team coverage here starting the week off on
the Ben Mather Show, the question for the Bills does
this count as a signature win for Josh Allen's Buffalo
(11:02):
Bills beating Kansas City here in Week nine of the
NFL season. So we mentioned a big measuring stick game
for Kansas City, well also for Buffalo. However, however, I'm
going to say no in terms of the big picture
for the moment. Yeah, the Bills feel pretty good, right,
Bill Mafia is all fired off.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
They're excited. That's great.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
They want congratulations. However, Buffalo, what do we know. They
always beat Kansas City in the regular season.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
They always do.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
This is old news. This is old news, is what
it is. We've seen this act before. Think of this
like the Legend of Zelda, the Hero of Time. The
hero of Time known as Link in the Legend of
Zelda used to play that years ago, and this was
like clockwork for the Bills. Legend of Zelda the Hero
(11:49):
of Time, it was clockwork. This is what they do.
In November they beat Kansas City. That's what the Buffalo
Bills do. And then in January the Chiefs gut the
Bills like the aliens gutting a cow when they united
to find those aliens and come down there allegedly I'm
(12:09):
sure it's something else and just tear up the cow. Yeah,
it's like that. But it's a Buffalo and it's the
same every year, same movie every year. This year be different.
Buffalo was a slight favorite. They were at home in
this game and they won. So you get a nice
little dopamine hit, little dopamine hit the year not bad.
(12:30):
Enjoy the dopamine way to go, and the Bills mafia
will throw themselves on some tables that are lit on
fire and that'll be how that goes. So congratulations on that. However,
you're not celebrating because we know there's a lot of
games to go, a lot of games to go, and
until Josh Allen finally gets the monkey off his back.
(12:52):
He and his co workers there beat Mahomes when it
matters in the postseason, when it counts in the big
play off game down the line. This is just background noise.
It's just elevator noise, that's all it is. And they're
the kings of the regular season matchups. You get a
nice little puffy sticker. Congratulations on that way to go.
And five straight now for the Bills, five straight over
(13:15):
Kansas City when the weather's still relatively good. When the
weather's not good, they've played four times and zero for four,
including that ridiculous game at Arrowhead Stadium a couple years back.
But there you go. So the Bills in the regular
season against the Chiefs. The Bills are like a tesla.
They're smooth, they don't no gas, need it right, they
(13:38):
get plenty of gas, play of energy, right and all
that stuff. They're fast playoffs, playoffs. The Buffalo Bills off
in resort. Not a tesla. They're more like a rental
Kia with lots of dents and lots of miles on it.
And that's how that goes gonna collapse later. So it
days a deja vu, deja vu situation.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Is what it is.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
And you know, just I've a sure to do every
day obviously, so we worry about what we worry about
that particular day. But let me know, send me a
text or something, let me know when the Bills win
a game like this against Kansas City in January and
when the pressure cookers cranked up to ten.

You say, play the head. That's my mom man. I will
put the hits. So we go deep in the heart
of Texas Jerry's world.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
How about him? Cowboy?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
There was final game, Final Game, Week nine on the
NFL card at the Jerry Jones Fund Zone. I saw
former Fox Sports Radio Morning personalit of there. Stephen A
was hanging out with Jerry in the box. What's in
the box? A man in a pink suit? Anyway, So
Trey McBride, the Cardinals are so bad. Trey McBride was
(15:31):
the headliner coming in this game. Trey McBride the tied
end of the Cardinals clown car rolling in to the
Cowboys crib.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
We'll match up there.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Jerry Jones' favorite NFL team, and it was on an
island game. An island game. He had Troy Aikman and
Joe Buck on the call. Did you watch? Were you
checking this game? I know, maybe not. We'll back up
quarterback Jacolby Brissett, and he wasn't supposed to play in
this game at the beginning of the week. It was
gonna be Kyler Murray, but the old switcher root and
(16:02):
so Bersett was in there. He threw not one but
two touchdowns and ran for a score as Kyler alligator
arms Murray could not play a little fella had a
small injury foot injury and the Cardinals the Cardinals a
domination situation by Arizona's Dallas was never really in this
(16:23):
game twenty seven to seventeen, raising Arizona as they get
to win there a Monday night. The Cardinals had a
five game skid, a roote that came to an end.
There they snap the losing streak with a very comfortable win,
a very very comfortable win for the team from the
(16:45):
Grand Canyon State. Now Marvin Harrison Junior, who had been
a Jag, not a Jacksonville jack just a guy in
his brief NFL career, he had a breakout game. Big
first half. The stat line was good, big first half.
Those seven catches, ninety six yards and a touchdown. There
was one play where he scored in the end zone,
(17:06):
the touchdown there where he literally broke the ankles of
the Cowboy defensive player. There great highlight for him and
Jacoby Brissett, though the headliner here. He made the third
consecutive start there for the Cardinals. They get their third
win of the year, and they win for just the
second time the stats been going around the second time
in eighteen games without the little fella alligator Arms Murray,
(17:30):
the fun sized quarterback. And so the better story, though,
is in the losing locker room. The better stories in
the losing locker room. The Cowboys were not ready to play.
Does anyone disagree with that statement? The Cowboys were not
ready to play. I don't see anyone raising their hands,
so no one disagrees. Good good job by you not disagreeing.
So they weren't ready. They were shut out in the
(17:50):
first quarter. They had a promising drive that went could
put to start the game, and then that was it.
Fumbled by my count four times. Lost a couple of
those fumbles. Dak Prescott in a helter skelter comeback situation,
had an interception, but didn't play all that well, did
not play all that well. Just a bad mess of
(18:12):
a game for the Dallas Cowboys. They're in the better
story on the losing side. So that is where we
will begin a good jumping off point. So let us
discuss the question, what does this performance with all eyes
of the football world on it, what does this performance
say about Brian Schottenheimer, Shanie and his coaching run with
(18:34):
the Dallas Cowboys. So my thoughts on this, I've got slurpee, media, mafia,
and hot pocket, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to pig.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Out point point point. We're gonna pick out, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
So my first thought on this, A let's start with
when you take a look down. You get in the
Blackhawk helicopter, not black Hawk down, the black Hawk helicopter,
and you go up in the sky and you.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Look down and you look around, look at the landscape there?
What do you see?
Speaker 7 (19:10):
All right?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So here's what I see, okay, And I'm never wrong
about these things. I'm never wrong about these things. Same
old Cowboys, That's what I see, all right, Same old
over hyped, over decorated, under discipline mess. You've got George
Pickens taunting when the Cowboys are desperately trying to get
back in the game, but he's trying to get style points.
Man you gotta get style points. Undisciplined slop is what
(19:33):
that was. Just bad football, bad football personified. That's the
epitome of the Cowboys. And so you look at Schottenheimer's
a glorified seat filler, and the man's essentially house sitting,
and he's house sitting for the ghost of Mike McCarthy's
fat ass who got let go last year. And so
it's all just a placeholder, is what it is for
(19:56):
the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, the main problem is the defense.
For for some reason, we have Shottenheimer talking about the offense.
But we'll play it because we have it.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Here we go.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
We got to play better offensively. We're better than you know,
ten points, which is all we scored. Great job by
Sam on the punt and block special teams, but for
us to score ten points offensively is not the standard,
and no one's happy about that.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, well, the people that better on the Cardinals are
very happy about that. So I don't know that no
one's happy about that. But but you look at the
Cardinals and they're not evolving. This is mid season in
the NFL. We're now done with Week nine. They only
play seventeen, So it's actually a little bit past mid season.
There there's no actual mid season. Eight and a half
weeks would be mid season, So the Cardinals and Cowboys
(20:39):
played the midway point as much as you can say.
I know some teams have had buys or whatever, so
they're just existing. The Dallas Cowboys I every week. It's
every game. It's the five o'clock follies, blown coverages to
the right, mistackles to the left, stupid penalties in the
air everywhere. That's the Dallas copy. You can practically hear
(21:01):
the circus music in the background when you watch them
try to tackle. It is fascinating how much they suck
on defense for a team that supposedly practices. And everyone
was talking up Matt Eberflus, the defensive coordinator who cut
his chops in Indianapolis as the Colts defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Got a good reputation and he's been living on that.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Got the Bears job, sucked in Chicago, goes to Dallas,
blows in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
What's next? I don't know. TV. Probably suck at TV.
We get that job too. What the hell?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
The defense, in particular the build as America's team, the
Dallas Cowboys a big selling point there, the proprietary blent.
We've heard of the Tampa two defense. You've heard of
the forty six defense by the Chicago Bears back in
the day. Legendary defenses in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys
defense is the seven to eleven defense. It's the seven
(21:54):
eleven defense because these guys look like they should be
working the night shift at a seven eleven the way
they're trying to tackle and they're playing defense there just
arm tackling, lazy angles on defense there, and you look around,
it's like, would you.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Like a slurp?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Bee, sir?
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Would you like a slurpee with those nachos? And that misassignment?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
My god? And so yet, oh boo, the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Traded Michael Parsons, their top defensive so apparently they don't
have to hustle, they don't have to tackle because just
Jerry Jones traded Michael Barton. So that is the ultimate Okay,
we blow, let's not try to get better excuse and
then am I correct on?
Speaker 6 (22:34):
That?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Is that how this works? Okay? I know Jerry's trying
to find some.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Gloryhole, but the Cowboy I get that they traded Michael
Parsons it's a team game. You put the collective unit together.
If you tackle as a team, you play discipline football.
And I'm not a cowboy fan. I don't have skin
in the game. I just want to watch and observe this.
It's like, okay, the sum of the parts, well, the
sum of the parts is, let's make some business decisions
(22:58):
and not will not hustle on certain plays.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
And all that. My god, there's no rallying again.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Just a lot of business decisions mixed with lazy angles
and arm tackling and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
It's like a garage seal out there.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Jacoby frickin Brissett sliced you up.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
He diced you up. Jacoby Brissett.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Jacoby Brissett like a surgeon doing outpatient work. He averaged
eight point four yards per pass. Jacoby Brissett did that
to you? Where'd he hurt you?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Everywhere?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
He hurts you everywhere. Two passing touchdowns, one on the ground.
Let me repeat that for those of your little slocas
it's at night here. Jacoby Brissett did that. He did that.
That's not bad luck. It's not bad luck. That's that's
bad football. That's that's Brian Schottenheimer's Dallas Cowboy. The Cowboys
are who we thought they were, a mirage with nice
(23:56):
logos on their helmet. They have good, good logos there
and they do look novel. It's getting off the bus.
Don't they look good those uniforms and they look solid
now when they actually play. It's rather discussing Dak Prescott sucked.
What happened to that MVP campaign for Dak Prescott. It's
in a ditch on the side of the road. Anyway,
here's Dak Prescott with his latest excuse on the Dallas Cowboys,
(24:17):
riding the vomit comet.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
Tigles so frustrating because because I'm not just going to
accept that, oh, this team is inconsistent. This team is
just up and down like we're going to be as
long as we ride the wave of you know, the
media and you know the media and the media game
to the next and not putting the blame on you guys.
But you know, we want to game and we feel
really good about ourselves. And you think you're just going
to go in the next next week and smack that
(24:39):
opponent and you don't, then you know, you you feel
litt upset and you look in the mirror, and you
come back and you give give a better performance. You know,
that's what's been happening this year other than tonight. And
so when you've put two bad games or two ugly
losses back to back, you gotta find answers.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
We know the answers. You suck. Your team sucks. That's it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
You're never going You're you're the definition of blah cow.
Doesn't win seven games or eight games or something along
those lines. They'll finish around five hundred and they're not
making the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Playoffs. That's how happened.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, on the Arizona side of things, everyone's been yapping.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
We'll frame the question this way. Every one's been yappening here.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Both ABC broadcasters Troy Aikman and Joe Buck said they
expect the Arizona Cardinals to stick with quarterback Jacoby Brissett
that seems like kind of a big deal, and not
go back to Kyler Murray. So again, both Joe Buck
and Troy Aikman going on the record that they believe
Kyler Murray has lost his job, he has been demoted,
(25:42):
that he has been put in the doghouse in favor
of Jacoby Brissett. Is this something or is this nothing?
So at first glance you say, well, who cares what
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman say. They're just a couple
of media hacks. They don't now anything like That's what
(26:02):
the low information fan would say.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It's something. I'm telling you it's something here. They're not
hot take guys. Akeman and Buck are not hot take guys.
They're well compensated for what they do. They're the Fox refugees.
They ran off to ESPN to get the big pile
of money. They're then free agency. Good for them, Good
for them. But Joe Buck and Troy Aikman do not
(26:28):
dabble in the social media hot take ecosystem. That's not
what they do here. They are made men. Joe Buck
and Troy Aikman are made men. They are they're in
the elite NFL media mafia. And when you're in the mafia,
and you're a made man in the media mafia, you
don't speak out of class.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
You don't do it. You cannot do it because they'll
whack you. They will whack you.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
And so what I'm imagining happened here just based on
connecting the dots is that they are simply regurgitating Buck
and Aikman what they heard in the little pregame pow Wow.
They're Starbucks huddle with Jonathan Gannon, the coach of the Cardinals,
and the Arizona staff, the people that they meet with there.
(27:13):
Lattee in one hand and then you've got the laminated
play sheet in the other. You sit around a round
table in a hotel ballroom and it's the Brotherhood of Intel's,
that's what it is. You get the coaches all comfortable,
they're all relaxed there over a little maple bar, possibly
a Long John, but most likely a maple bar double espresso.
(27:35):
You've got that going there, and they just start talking
and they just start chirping. And you don't have to
be an NFL guru. You don't have to be some
kind of guru here. You can just simply read between
the lines on this and you know inside that building,
Kyler Murray's the guy you want at the controls. If
(27:56):
you're trying to win a Call of Duty tournament, that
is the guy you want. There's no one else on
the Cardinals you would want out there other than Kyler Murray.
You give him the joystick and you get out of
the way. You let the man's little fingers work its magic. Okay,
that's what your dad.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
If you actually want to win football games, that's something.
And now again call of duty, tournament thumbs and blazing
there for Kyler Head said on NFL Team No, No,
you knew right away. This is one of the rare
deals where the team signed the player to the extension
and immediately had buyer's remorse.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Like, what did we do? Holy f why did we
do that?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You knew they signed the wrong player when they had
to put a clause in there to actually do your
job and watch film, and then they had to take
it out because he was so embarrassed. He got called
out on being a terrible employee. Little Kyler Murray there.
So you look at it is like Brissett, he's not
very good. However, he's the adult in the room, and
(28:56):
I appear they want that. He's got a bunch of
moles warts. Jacoby Brissett, You're not going to go anywhere
with him as quarterback. He's limited, his arm's not that great.
He's been around a lot of miles on the odometer
for Jacoby Brissett. But he does show up on time,
and he knows the offense, he can command the huddle,
all that stuff, and he does not need juice boxes
(29:20):
in between a series of offense. In practice, they don't
need to give him a juice box and some orange slices.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
He's okay. So that's there is that. That's good.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Still hard to get all tingley the idea that Jacoby
Brissett will take over as the quarterback there and another
one of these guys talked about Brian Schottenheimer being a
seat filler. Well, if Brissett is the guy, he would
be the personification of a seat filler there and the Cardinals.
It's really difficult to get a great read on any
(29:50):
of this because the Dallas Cowboys defense, you know, like
to some teams drive luxury buses to the stadium. For
some reason, the Cowboys ride the short bus. I don't
know why that they take the short bust there. And
so we're not going to pretend this is some kind
of great accomplishment by the Cardinals. I mean, I didn't
think they were going to play that well. I thought
at least the Cowboys offense would be able to do
stuff they didn't in this game. Nevertheless, back to the point,
(30:13):
just to put the ball on this so Aikman and
Buck again, they're made men football elite, elite, media mafia
of the NFL, the media mafia. They're in that inner circle, right,
those top level guys, they get all the goodies, all
the goodies here, So they're not gonna just drop a
nugget like that on national team. I don't think that's random.
(30:34):
I believe that is a dead giveaway. That's a tell,
that is a tel. The Cardinals are quietly moving off
the Kyler Murray fantasy and they're settling into the mud
with Jacoby Brissett adult supervision until they get some other
Jabroni next season. Now, the trade deadline is today. Wouldn't
it be wild if the Cardinals sat out Kyler Murray
(30:57):
to trade him. Where would they trade the Saints? That's
the only obvious destination at this point. Like the Saints
are terrible, worst team since nineteen eighty, They don't have
a quarterback, and they got money to burn. They can
move some numbers around, make make it work if salary
caps fugazy anyway, all right, last word.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Back to that Cowboys, Back to the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
So following the latest ass whooping at the hands of
the opponent in case this case Arizona low the Arizona
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as he often does, gave a
State of the Cowboys address postgame, and he said the
money quote here, and he said a lot the one
that stood out to me that I'd like to share
with you right now. Jerry Jones said, quote, I like
our nuts and bolts. I don't like what's happening to
(31:43):
our nuts and bolts though close quote from Jerry Jones.
So question, can you decode what Jerry Jones means when
he says he likes the Cowboys nuts and bolts?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
All right? So yeah, all right, nah using.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
The mallar Rosetta stone, the mallor Rosetta stone translation translation,
Jerry taking time for a modest flex, modest flex in
front of the mirror. In front of the mirror. Now,
Jerry's not blaming himself. He's definitely not blaming himself on this.
(32:22):
In fact, he's braggadocious. He's bragging about the shopping list.
He's like, man, am I a great gm look at
the town, the nuts and bolts.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
That's me. I did that I did that. That's my team.
I put that team together.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
He's essentially saying, hey, I'm broad amazing ingredients into the kitchen.
These are such great ingredients. Unfortunately the chef can't cook.
I know I hired him too, but he can't cook
with my delicious ingredients.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Jerry thinks he's like Gordon Ramsey wearing a ten gallon
hat and looking for gloryhole.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
And the roster in Jerry's head is a Michelin Star roster.
It's a menu of Michelin Star for wagou beef, truffle oil,
all that stuff, all the fix and all the trimmings
and all that. And what comes out of the kitchen
for the cowboys is a microwaved hot pocket. That's what
comes out of the kitchen, a sou flea that is
(33:24):
collapsing on a weekly basis there, and it's burning in
the oven. And Brian Schottenheimer, the coach there, is arguing
with the smoke alarm, saying it's not my fault. It's
not burning. It's the smoke alarm that's malfunctioning. I would
not burn this food at all. And it's a classic
Jerry Jones humble brag. It's like I am the GM
(33:45):
and I am a genius. Look at those players, they're
just not executing. They're underachieving. But it's not because of me. No, no, no,
they're underachievers, but not because of Mete. No no, no no.
Jerry loves the nuts and the bolt. She loves the
nuts and the balls. He just putting an actual winning
football team on the field. Eh. The blueprint though, is
(34:07):
there solid blueprint? It's the contractor that's the problem. You
got a bad contractor. They don't know what you're doing.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
