Speaker 1 (00:00):
On today's show, we'll tell you why Trey Lance just
said something that should make every Cowboys fan sick to
their stomach.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Let's go wild the intro.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
All right, yo yo, yooo your life from Billy.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
It's the number one rated Polly and Tony Fosco show.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yo yo yo.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
As Polly Forsco here with Tony Forsco and Tony Yo
huge show today. But first you some important show related
to business. You know, last week we announced the grand
opening of the official Fusco merch store and Tony the
demopub has been so off the chine. You know, we
(00:44):
were told the factory workers have been working NonStop twenty
four to seven.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I believe this all these orders.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
In fact, this has led to several labor violations. But
what we've been told is government officials have a fuels
to intervene because they want their T shirts, mugs, and
hats and mouse pads delivered as fast as possible to them.
So of course you know we get it. So just
if you know it's going to be a delay, but
just click the little worry, it's coming right now. And
(01:14):
what's this They get the twenty percent off two or
more items. That's the Wow there you go, lucky you. Anyway,
as we said, huge show today. You know, first we
got to bone the pick with Wikipedia. We'll get into that. Also,
this bizarre story at a RAMS camp and unfortunately our
guest today.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You know, our.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Partners at Fox Sports Radio, they asked us to promote
his like begged us, you know, because we're big stars
at the network.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Help out. The little pequars comes with the territory.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Anyway, he's the host of The Odd Couple on Fox
Sports Radio, Rob Parker And uh, you know we heard
he's teaching now at USC He's teaching sports.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yeah, well, let's see if he passed the test today.
Let's see how he does.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
That's right, And speaking of pass we don't want to
pass over this important word from our good friends at
Southwest Airlines. Do you like comfort when you fly? Why
stop being such a fucking prima donna.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
You know the other day, my aunt Marie and her
boyfriend Nunzio got back from a flight to Orlando on
Southwest Airlines and I asked Nunzio if the flight was comfortable.
He said, it felt great, but the space was a
little too small for two people. And I said, what
do you mean, too small your seats? And he said, no,
(02:37):
the bathroom. And then I thought, actually, let's just move on. Yeah,
we'll hear about that story later.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Anyway, Book a flight today at Southwest dot com. Use
the promo code FUSCO Show and get twenty percent off
any flight inside the continental United States between the hours
of three and four in the morning Southwest. All right,
now that we got all that business out of the way, Tony,
it's die to get into a top story story, all right.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
First out the gate, of course, the Cowboys, finally taking
the first step to recovery and admitting that Dak Prescott
is not the future of their organization, they made a
big trade for forty nine ers backup quarterback Trey Lance,
who many people say has been.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
A total bust. But that's not fair at all, right, Tony, No,
not at all.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
You see, the problem here is that the forty nine
Ers surrounded Trey Lance with too many good players. That
was unfair to Trey. It made him look bad. It's
so much more fair to put him on a team
like the Cowboys, where he can be surrounded with other
fellow players.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
It reminds me of when Billy Joel was married to
Christy Brinkley, and everyone was like, oh, but he's so ugly.
But then now you look at Billy Joel and you think, oh,
he's only kind of.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Terrifically said Dony, and you thank you Trey Lance.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You know, he's also barely played.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
He's got as much experience with football as our producer
has with women, and you.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, maybe even a little more. Yeah, yeah, true. You know,
there are good signs here for Trey Lance.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You know a lot of people that like to focus
on useless things like stats, but you have to go deeper,
isn't that right, DONI.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
You have to look at history too, or what we
call patterns. And when you do that, you'll clearly see
that the only two quarterbacks to succeed in Dallas this
century have four letter first names that start with T
and end and why Troy and Tony and now they
(04:47):
have Trey, which also follows the proven pattern of success.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So as you can see.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
This is a perfect fit, just tremendous historical perspective that
Dony and you know, even if we did, all right,
go ahead and look at Trey Lance's stats. You know,
people say he quote unquote sucks because he's only completed
fifty five.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Percent of his passes.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, who also completed only around.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Fifty percent of their passes?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
A man named Terry Bradshaw, like about a man named
Joe Namath, and what Trent Dilfer who.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Led the Ravens to a Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You know, Tony, it's just so sad today how people
ignore history.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's pathetic. They should be ashamed. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Now, you know, all isn't rosy in this trade at Tony.
You know, there are reasons for the Cowboy fans to
be concerned.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
In his first pressa with the team, Trey Lance said
about Dak, quote, I'm just trying to learn everything I
possibly can from him and Tony.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
This spells danger for the Cowboys, doesn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Absolutely? I mean that's not enough of a plan there
for Trey. He said he wants to learn everything Dak
knows about football. Okay, but that should only take maybe
three or four hours tops, and you probably want to
forget about ninety percent of that anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Great point, Dony and Dinny.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You know there was thank you one positive out of
Trey Lance's press that we don't want to overlook. You know,
he talked about how he's approaching this new opportunity with Dallas,
and he told the reporters quote, I'm not looking forward.
I'm just looking to take it one day at a time.
And this is what you like to see out of
a QB.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Isn't that right? Dony?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Absolutely, Sometimes young players try to take it two days
at a time or seven days at a time, and
that's too many days at a time when you look
at it, one day is the perfect amount of time
to take things.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
So good sign. There. Couldn't agree more, Dony.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And now, staying on the subject of NFC quarterbacks, you know,
we have a little bone to pick with Wikipedia. You know,
we were on the Wikipedia page, but Jalen hurts, you know,
just checking around making sure everything's kosher, you know, yeah,
and checking on the top of the page, we saw
something so disturbing.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, this is trupe people. You can go look. There's
this message that says, read this.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Not to be confused with Jalen heard. Who the fuck
is Jalen heard?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No freking idea.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, well we clicked on it just to see, you
know who this Jalen heard with the d was apparently
he was a wide receiver for the forty nine ers
for three seasons who spent his whole career on injured
reserve before retiring.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
What the fuck?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Who theck is confusing Jalen heard with the guy going
to Super Bowls?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, this is like if you searched for Megan Fox
and then it said not to be confused with Michael J.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Fox. Well, nobody's making that mistake, trust me.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Great point, Tony, and let's just move on, you know,
to a very strange report out of Los Angeles ESPN
reporting that Ram's veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford is having a
quote trouble connecting with the younger players on his team.
Saw that, Yeah, but that's not the most concerning part
of the story people. You see, the information came from
(08:20):
a podcast The Morning After, which is hosted by Matthew
Stafford's wife, Kelly Stafford. So what's most concerning here is
who the hell is listening to Kelly Stafford's podcast? And
why does Kelly Stafford have a podcast? I mean not
they'll be you know, offensive here, but not everyone has
(08:41):
to have a podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It's out of control.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
They're just given podcasts to anyone who wants to talk
sports these days, no matter how far they are removed
from the field or no offense, no matter how little
they know about the game. Frankly, it's a slap in
the wrist to anyone out there who's doing quotality sports talk.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, you know, Tony, it's pathetic.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know what we need to do is we need
to start limiting the amount of sports podcasts.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
When you think there you go, there should only be
like three maybe three the most exactly, just terrible. What's
going on here? Horrible? Well, anyway, on.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
The subject of the people who shouldn't be doing sports talk,
natural segue that Tony.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, that's our guest.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, I see our guests coming on the line there,
So let's bring him on the full SCO satellite.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Network, Satellite the world. All right.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
He's the host of Fox Sports Radio's The Odd Couple.
Now get this, he's also teaching sports talk as some
sort of professor at you and kindergarten. Yeah, so no,
apparently these are grown adults. So pleads to our first question,
what the can you possibly be teaching these kids?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Poor kids?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 6 (09:54):
I'm a guy who's been doing this for decades.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Now, I have.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You're totally out of touch, but okay, yeah, you've been
duping people for decades.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
What I have knowledge, I have information. I'm what the
kids you know, I'm hip, I'm alive. It's what the
kids are looking for.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I'm that god man.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
They'd basically I'd be running out of the class room
if I was giving us an example. We want an example,
some free education. Yeah, what are you teaching taking?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Like give us a lesson, plase.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
How to do a good podcast? What you want to do?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
And I don't know if you guys take you need
to maybe take this class to help your podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
We got a PhD in podcast? What do you teach
them though? Like, what's a lesson? Give me a lesson?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Here's a lesson. What you want to do when you're
doing these shows? Is you want to be fun and informative.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
It's good. You gotta be fun if.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You know about being informative? Nothing. What people are paying
for this? I't sue you yet?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Uh No, I have not been sue what do you
think this is? Trump University?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
No?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I have not been se that.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Is a privileged institution.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Helped at least four people exactly, But there's one quick.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Question for you.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
You know you're telling these kids to get in the
sports talk. You know, Tony and I were talking earlier
in the show. There are already way too many sports podcasts, Rob,
who needs that? Don't you think we should start limited
in the number to like, you know, three, No.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
There shouldn't be a limit. I mean people will weed
out the bad ones.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
What they do is the people who love the good
ones if you have good content.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
This is a free market side.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Which I can figure out why you're still employed based on.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Yeah, exactly, it's only been thirty seven years I've been
doing this type of sports media.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
People just must have left the radio on and forgot
to turn it off for something. Yeah, exactly, here we go.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
All right, let's for yeah, I professor, let's get into it.
Let's talk about Trey Lance. Obviously, you know, traded from
the forty nine ers to the Cowboys. You know a
lot of people are saying, you know, Trey Lance is
a bust, but that's not fair. You know, it's clearly
because the forty nine ers, Yeah, they were too good
at tea. They made him look bad. See what he
needed to be He needed to be on a team
(12:04):
with players right. Don't you think that's why the Cowboys
are a better fit because they're so shitty?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
You know what, I think Trey Lance didn't even get
a real fair shot. I don't know. I mean, what
did he do? We played five games?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yeah, I mean the forty nine ers they have good players,
we know that, and the Cowboys, we know aren't as good.
They haven't been what if they haven't been the NFC
Championship game since nineteen ninety five. Yeah, they've been awful
because Jerry Jones is running the organization like a mom
and pop store. That's why the Eagles are popular or
good because they're in a division with a bad team
(12:41):
like the.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Cow Oh yeah, I see.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
He was on the right track and then he went
off the rails at the end day you were like
seventy there.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Don't you think Trey Lance?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
You know, people are saying he's a bust, right because
he only completed fifty five percent of his passes. But
you know you're old enough to remember Terry Brada fifty
two percent, Joe Namath barely fifty percent. You know, Trent Dilfer,
he barely cool. Come he didn't even complete one pass.
Don't you think people are focusing too much on these
useless stats.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Yes, it is too many useless stats.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
All the stat geeks with the pocket pen protectors and
all these guys who have never even played ball, or
the guys.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
That these owners have now hired. I agree.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Finally we agree on something. Enough with all the geeks.
It's about winning. It's about getting the job.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Dog. Yeah, let's be fair. He played five games in
the NFL. That's a cup of coffee in a sweet role.
In the real world, that's nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah. See, you know this is all right, This is good.
I like you.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I hope you'll teach your kids this at the schools.
You know, don't focus on the stats like a nerd.
Just talk from your gut. Okay, you know, Tony, tell
him the other take you had about why Trey Lance
is going to be a success in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Listen to this, professor.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Yeah, you gotta he thinks differently here, professor, think about it.
The only good Cowboys quarterbacks this century had four letter
first names that start with T and and with why, Troy, Tony,
and now Trey. Don't you think that shows that Trey,
(14:20):
rather than Dak is a betefit in Dallas?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So smart.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Is that what you're basing it on the first name
of a quarterback? Are we serious?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I mean, yeah, patterns is upset.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
It's just a coincidence.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
And Kowinkie Dake, you don't have anything to do with
whether or not he's gonna be successful in Dallas.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Mister didn't start off yeah right, but he wound up
being great.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Uh, Tony couldn't hold down an extra point and win
a playoff game, So I don't know about how successful
he was in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
You know he's at Tony.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
He's jealous that he is because he doesn't see the
patterns watching this and realizing that they were never taught
how you do journalism here.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
No, you're telling me that.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
If you're telling me that if Tony, if tiny Tim
played for the team, you would include him as well.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Well, No, because tiny isn't his first name. Tim was
his first name. So you don't care if you don't
see the padre not listening, Yeah, processing.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Rob process this here. Look at the Eagles.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Their last three quarterbacks have all had five letter last
names that are one syllable, went Folds, hurts, and look
at the results. They all got to Super Bowls, Super Bowls, Oh, and.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
That is the reason why.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
It's not about the receivers or a running game, or
the defense or quarterback play.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
It's about wordplay and names. Is that what we are?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
He just can't. He can't. We're blowing his mind. He
can't wrap his head around it. That's probably this is
too much.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
This is troubling.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
If I'm the USC, this is where he troubling.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Get it, Tony, I get it, Tony. You want to
talk more x's and o's and show off your knowalogy.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Okay, we'll do We can do that too. Here you go.
All right.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You know, the other day it was NFL cut day,
a lot of big moves, rob a lot of headlines.
So we're gonna go down the list and get your
opinion on several of these key moves. So let's just
dive right in here. First, big news out of Pittsburgh,
as I'm sure you saw, tight end Zach Gentry released
by the Steelers.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Your thoughts, Oh, go ahead, what okay? What happened?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I said, what what just happened? There is?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Are we on with Mitch McConnell. Hold on, hey, look,
big mules out of Pittsburgh. Okay, we know you're getting
up there. We'll try again. Big news out of Pittsburgh.
Tight end Zach Gentry released by the Steelers.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Okay, what is that supposed to mean? Does that means
a Steelers season?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Is your thoughts?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Your thoughts? This is how our interview guest segment works.
This is when you talk. You're supposed to know that
as a so called professor.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I don't think that that's going to alter where Pittsburgh's going.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Or what you're supposed to be.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
You want to give me, give me somebody who really matters.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And Tony just explained to him quickly. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
He was a twenty nineteen fifth round pick out of Michigan.
They re signed him in the spring, and he was
on the field for fifty percent of Pittsburgh snaps last season.
Is going to totally alter the season?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
He wants another one? Okay, okay, fine, all right, the Bears.
There's a big nose out of Chicago. The Bears cut cornerback. Kindle, Vilda,
your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I tried to read, but I couldn't without my kindle.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
But other than that, another one I just don't understand,
Like how.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
That you don't know the first thing about football. What
don't you understand? He went to Georgia Southern. Yeah, he
was picked in the fifth round in this.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Guy interception last year against the VI exactly not going
well for you. You're not looking good here, all right,
let's know that you'll try try, try another.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
One, try one more.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Long snapper Trent Sieg was released by the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Huge move here your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Trent Sieg. I'd rather have Bob Sieger. I mean, what
what what are we talking here? A long snapper?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
These are the kind of modern references that have kept
you in the business for so long. Who's next, Glenn Campbell?
This is what he teaches these kids. Oh, just to
go compare Joe Burrow to Mork and Mindy.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
I'm giving them context to the life that we live.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You want you want context, I'll give you context. You
on the show you suck? So you didn't make the
fifty three ter on this show? Off the show, this show.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Guess what.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Your ro show.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Get out of?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Is he off the line? Jay, hang up the phone.
You know, how the hell does that guy become a professor?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I don't know, but those students are being robbed of
a proper education.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
There see, well said that don'ty way to bring it
all around, and you know, let's not ruin what was
otherwise a terrific show.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Of course, we want to.

You said?
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Trey Aikman was one of the best Cowboys quarterbacks of
this century.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, bro, common knowledge.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Yeah yeah, we're in the twenty first century and Traickman
retired in the year two thousand. That's the twentieth century.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Oh yeah, well you're going through aight man after I
beat you.

Trent Dilford led the two thousand Ravens to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah, bro, leader of the team. Look it up. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
The Ravens defense was number one in points allowed, number
two in total yards allowed. So he didn't lead the team.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh yeah, well I'm going to lead you into oncoming traffic.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yeah, you're gonna be number two after I feed your
body parts to my dog.

Oh one, go home with finished with what why?

Stafford's podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, bro, totally never heard of it.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
It's one of the top podcasts in the kids in
Family category. I bet way more people listen to that
one than this one.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Oh yeah, Well, when I'm done with you, you won't be
able to have kids and a family if you catch
my drift.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah.

your cries for help. Yeah shah, But you know what.

On today's show, we'll tell you why Trey Lance just

their stomach.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Let's go wild the intro.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
All right, yo yo, yooo your life from Billy.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
It's the number one rated Polly and Tony Fosco show.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yo yo yo.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
As Polly Forsco here with Tony Forsco and Tony Yo
huge show today. But first you some important show related
to business. You know, last week we announced the grand
opening of the official Fusco merch store and Tony the
demopub has been so off the chine. You know, we
(00:44):
were told the factory workers have been working NonStop twenty
four to seven.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I believe this all these orders.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
In fact, this has led to several labor violations. But
what we've been told is government officials have a fuels
to intervene because they want their T shirts, mugs, and
hats and mouse pads delivered as fast as possible to them.
So of course you know we get it. So just
if you know it's going to be a delay, but
just click the little worry, it's coming right now. And
(01:14):
what's this They get the twenty percent off two or
more items. That's the Wow there you go, lucky you. Anyway,
as we said, huge show today. You know, first we
got to bone the pick with Wikipedia. We'll get into that. Also,
this bizarre story at a RAMS camp and unfortunately our
guest today.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You know, our.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Partners at Fox Sports Radio, they asked us to promote
his like begged us, you know, because we're big stars
at the network.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Help out. The little pequars comes with the territory.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Anyway, he's the host of The Odd Couple on Fox
Sports Radio, Rob Parker And uh, you know we heard
he's teaching now at USC He's teaching sports.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yeah, well, let's see if he passed the test today.
Let's see how he does.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
That's right, And speaking of pass we don't want to
pass over this important word from our good friends at
Southwest Airlines. Do you like comfort when you fly? Why
stop being such a fucking prima donna.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
You know the other day, my aunt Marie and her
boyfriend Nunzio got back from a flight to Orlando on
Southwest Airlines and I asked Nunzio if the flight was comfortable.
He said, it felt great, but the space was a
little too small for two people. And I said, what
do you mean, too small your seats? And he said, no,
(02:37):
the bathroom. And then I thought, actually, let's just move on. Yeah,
we'll hear about that story later.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Anyway, Book a flight today at Southwest dot com. Use
the promo code FUSCO Show and get twenty percent off
any flight inside the continental United States between the hours
of three and four in the morning Southwest. All right,
now that we got all that business out of the way, Tony,
it's die to get into a top story story, all right.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
First out the gate, of course, the Cowboys, finally taking
the first step to recovery and admitting that Dak Prescott
is not the future of their organization, they made a
big trade for forty nine ers backup quarterback Trey Lance,
who many people say has been.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
A total bust. But that's not fair at all, right, Tony, No,
not at all.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
You see, the problem here is that the forty nine
Ers surrounded Trey Lance with too many good players. That
was unfair to Trey. It made him look bad. It's
so much more fair to put him on a team
like the Cowboys, where he can be surrounded with other
fellow players.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
It reminds me of when Billy Joel was married to
Christy Brinkley, and everyone was like, oh, but he's so ugly.
But then now you look at Billy Joel and you think, oh,
he's only kind of.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Terrifically said Dony, and you thank you Trey Lance.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You know, he's also barely played.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
He's got as much experience with football as our producer
has with women, and you.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, maybe even a little more. Yeah, yeah, true. You know,
there are good signs here for Trey Lance.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You know a lot of people that like to focus
on useless things like stats, but you have to go deeper,
isn't that right, DONI.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
You have to look at history too, or what we
call patterns. And when you do that, you'll clearly see
that the only two quarterbacks to succeed in Dallas this
century have four letter first names that start with T
and end and why Troy and Tony and now they
(04:47):
have Trey, which also follows the proven pattern of success.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So as you can see.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
This is a perfect fit, just tremendous historical perspective that
Dony and you know, even if we did, all right,
go ahead and look at Trey Lance's stats. You know,
people say he quote unquote sucks because he's only completed
fifty five.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Percent of his passes.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, who also completed only around.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Fifty percent of their passes?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
A man named Terry Bradshaw, like about a man named
Joe Namath, and what Trent Dilfer who.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Led the Ravens to a Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You know, Tony, it's just so sad today how people
ignore history.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's pathetic. They should be ashamed. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Now, you know, all isn't rosy in this trade at Tony.
You know, there are reasons for the Cowboy fans to
be concerned.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
In his first pressa with the team, Trey Lance said
about Dak, quote, I'm just trying to learn everything I
possibly can from him and Tony.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
This spells danger for the Cowboys, doesn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Absolutely? I mean that's not enough of a plan there
for Trey. He said he wants to learn everything Dak
knows about football. Okay, but that should only take maybe
three or four hours tops, and you probably want to
forget about ninety percent of that anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Great point, Dony and Dinny.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You know there was thank you one positive out of
Trey Lance's press that we don't want to overlook. You know,
he talked about how he's approaching this new opportunity with Dallas,
and he told the reporters quote, I'm not looking forward.
I'm just looking to take it one day at a time.
And this is what you like to see out of
a QB.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Isn't that right? Dony?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Absolutely, Sometimes young players try to take it two days
at a time or seven days at a time, and
that's too many days at a time when you look
at it, one day is the perfect amount of time
to take things.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
So good sign. There. Couldn't agree more, Dony.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And now, staying on the subject of NFC quarterbacks, you know,
we have a little bone to pick with Wikipedia. You know,
we were on the Wikipedia page, but Jalen hurts, you know,
just checking around making sure everything's kosher, you know, yeah,
and checking on the top of the page, we saw
something so disturbing.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, this is trupe people. You can go look. There's
this message that says, read this.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Not to be confused with Jalen heard. Who the fuck
is Jalen heard?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No freking idea.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, well we clicked on it just to see, you
know who this Jalen heard with the d was apparently
he was a wide receiver for the forty nine ers
for three seasons who spent his whole career on injured
reserve before retiring.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
What the fuck?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Who theck is confusing Jalen heard with the guy going
to Super Bowls?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, this is like if you searched for Megan Fox
and then it said not to be confused with Michael J.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Fox. Well, nobody's making that mistake, trust me.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Great point, Tony, and let's just move on, you know,
to a very strange report out of Los Angeles ESPN
reporting that Ram's veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford is having a
quote trouble connecting with the younger players on his team.
Saw that, Yeah, but that's not the most concerning part
of the story people. You see, the information came from
(08:20):
a podcast The Morning After, which is hosted by Matthew
Stafford's wife, Kelly Stafford. So what's most concerning here is
who the hell is listening to Kelly Stafford's podcast? And
why does Kelly Stafford have a podcast? I mean not
they'll be you know, offensive here, but not everyone has
(08:41):
to have a podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It's out of control.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
They're just given podcasts to anyone who wants to talk
sports these days, no matter how far they are removed
from the field or no offense, no matter how little
they know about the game. Frankly, it's a slap in
the wrist to anyone out there who's doing quotality sports talk.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, you know, Tony, it's pathetic.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know what we need to do is we need
to start limiting the amount of sports podcasts.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
When you think there you go, there should only be
like three maybe three the most exactly, just terrible. What's
going on here? Horrible? Well, anyway, on.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
The subject of the people who shouldn't be doing sports talk,
natural segue that Tony.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, that's our guest.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, I see our guests coming on the line there,
So let's bring him on the full SCO satellite.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Network, Satellite the world. All right.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
He's the host of Fox Sports Radio's The Odd Couple.
Now get this, he's also teaching sports talk as some
sort of professor at you and kindergarten. Yeah, so no,
apparently these are grown adults. So pleads to our first question,
what the can you possibly be teaching these kids?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Poor kids?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 6 (09:54):
I'm a guy who's been doing this for decades.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Now, I have.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You're totally out of touch, but okay, yeah, you've been
duping people for decades.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
What I have knowledge, I have information. I'm what the
kids you know, I'm hip, I'm alive. It's what the
kids are looking for.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I'm that god man.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
They'd basically I'd be running out of the class room
if I was giving us an example. We want an example,
some free education. Yeah, what are you teaching taking?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Like give us a lesson, plase.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
How to do a good podcast? What you want to do?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
And I don't know if you guys take you need
to maybe take this class to help your podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
We got a PhD in podcast? What do you teach
them though? Like, what's a lesson? Give me a lesson?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Here's a lesson. What you want to do when you're
doing these shows? Is you want to be fun and informative.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
It's good. You gotta be fun if.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You know about being informative? Nothing. What people are paying
for this? I't sue you yet?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Uh No, I have not been sue what do you
think this is? Trump University?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
No?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I have not been se that.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Is a privileged institution.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Helped at least four people exactly, But there's one quick.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Question for you.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
You know you're telling these kids to get in the
sports talk. You know, Tony and I were talking earlier
in the show. There are already way too many sports podcasts, Rob,
who needs that? Don't you think we should start limited
in the number to like, you know, three, No.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
There shouldn't be a limit. I mean people will weed
out the bad ones.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
What they do is the people who love the good
ones if you have good content.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
This is a free market side.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Which I can figure out why you're still employed based on.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Yeah, exactly, it's only been thirty seven years I've been
doing this type of sports media.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
People just must have left the radio on and forgot
to turn it off for something. Yeah, exactly, here we go.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
All right, let's for yeah, I professor, let's get into it.
Let's talk about Trey Lance. Obviously, you know, traded from
the forty nine ers to the Cowboys. You know a
lot of people are saying, you know, Trey Lance is
a bust, but that's not fair. You know, it's clearly
because the forty nine ers, Yeah, they were too good
at tea. They made him look bad. See what he
needed to be He needed to be on a team
(12:04):
with players right. Don't you think that's why the Cowboys
are a better fit because they're so shitty?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
You know what, I think Trey Lance didn't even get
a real fair shot. I don't know. I mean, what
did he do? We played five games?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yeah, I mean the forty nine ers they have good players,
we know that, and the Cowboys, we know aren't as good.
They haven't been what if they haven't been the NFC
Championship game since nineteen ninety five. Yeah, they've been awful
because Jerry Jones is running the organization like a mom
and pop store. That's why the Eagles are popular or
good because they're in a division with a bad team
(12:41):
like the.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Cow Oh yeah, I see.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
He was on the right track and then he went
off the rails at the end day you were like
seventy there.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Don't you think Trey Lance?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
You know, people are saying he's a bust, right because
he only completed fifty five percent of his passes. But
you know you're old enough to remember Terry Brada fifty
two percent, Joe Namath barely fifty percent. You know, Trent Dilfer,
he barely cool. Come he didn't even complete one pass.
Don't you think people are focusing too much on these
useless stats.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Yes, it is too many useless stats.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
All the stat geeks with the pocket pen protectors and
all these guys who have never even played ball, or
the guys.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
That these owners have now hired. I agree.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Finally we agree on something. Enough with all the geeks.
It's about winning. It's about getting the job.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Dog. Yeah, let's be fair. He played five games in
the NFL. That's a cup of coffee in a sweet role.
In the real world, that's nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah. See, you know this is all right, This is good.
I like you.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I hope you'll teach your kids this at the schools.
You know, don't focus on the stats like a nerd.
Just talk from your gut. Okay, you know, Tony, tell
him the other take you had about why Trey Lance
is going to be a success in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Listen to this, professor.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Yeah, you gotta he thinks differently here, professor, think about it.
The only good Cowboys quarterbacks this century had four letter
first names that start with T and and with why, Troy, Tony,
and now Trey. Don't you think that shows that Trey,
(14:20):
rather than Dak is a betefit in Dallas?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So smart.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Is that what you're basing it on the first name
of a quarterback? Are we serious?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I mean, yeah, patterns is upset.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
It's just a coincidence.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
And Kowinkie Dake, you don't have anything to do with
whether or not he's gonna be successful in Dallas.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Mister didn't start off yeah right, but he wound up
being great.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Uh, Tony couldn't hold down an extra point and win
a playoff game, So I don't know about how successful
he was in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
You know he's at Tony.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
He's jealous that he is because he doesn't see the
patterns watching this and realizing that they were never taught
how you do journalism here.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
No, you're telling me that.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
If you're telling me that if Tony, if tiny Tim
played for the team, you would include him as well.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Well, No, because tiny isn't his first name. Tim was
his first name. So you don't care if you don't
see the padre not listening, Yeah, processing.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Rob process this here. Look at the Eagles.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Their last three quarterbacks have all had five letter last
names that are one syllable, went Folds, hurts, and look
at the results. They all got to Super Bowls, Super Bowls, Oh, and.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
That is the reason why.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
It's not about the receivers or a running game, or
the defense or quarterback play.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
It's about wordplay and names. Is that what we are?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
He just can't. He can't. We're blowing his mind. He
can't wrap his head around it. That's probably this is
too much.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
This is troubling.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
If I'm the USC, this is where he troubling.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Get it, Tony, I get it, Tony. You want to
talk more x's and o's and show off your knowalogy.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Okay, we'll do We can do that too. Here you go.
All right.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You know, the other day it was NFL cut day,
a lot of big moves, rob a lot of headlines.
So we're gonna go down the list and get your
opinion on several of these key moves. So let's just
dive right in here. First, big news out of Pittsburgh,
as I'm sure you saw, tight end Zach Gentry released
by the Steelers.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Your thoughts, Oh, go ahead, what okay? What happened?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I said, what what just happened? There is?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Are we on with Mitch McConnell. Hold on, hey, look,
big mules out of Pittsburgh. Okay, we know you're getting
up there. We'll try again. Big news out of Pittsburgh.
Tight end Zach Gentry released by the Steelers.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Okay, what is that supposed to mean? Does that means
a Steelers season?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Is your thoughts?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Your thoughts? This is how our interview guest segment works.
This is when you talk. You're supposed to know that
as a so called professor.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I don't think that that's going to alter where Pittsburgh's going.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Or what you're supposed to be.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
You want to give me, give me somebody who really matters.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And Tony just explained to him quickly. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
He was a twenty nineteen fifth round pick out of Michigan.
They re signed him in the spring, and he was
on the field for fifty percent of Pittsburgh snaps last season.
Is going to totally alter the season?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
He wants another one? Okay, okay, fine, all right, the Bears.
There's a big nose out of Chicago. The Bears cut cornerback. Kindle, Vilda,
your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I tried to read, but I couldn't without my kindle.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
But other than that, another one I just don't understand,
Like how.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
That you don't know the first thing about football. What
don't you understand? He went to Georgia Southern. Yeah, he
was picked in the fifth round in this.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Guy interception last year against the VI exactly not going
well for you. You're not looking good here, all right,
let's know that you'll try try, try another.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
One, try one more.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Long snapper Trent Sieg was released by the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Huge move here your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Trent Sieg. I'd rather have Bob Sieger. I mean, what
what what are we talking here? A long snapper?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
These are the kind of modern references that have kept
you in the business for so long. Who's next, Glenn Campbell?
This is what he teaches these kids. Oh, just to
go compare Joe Burrow to Mork and Mindy.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
I'm giving them context to the life that we live.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You want you want context, I'll give you context. You
on the show you suck? So you didn't make the
fifty three ter on this show? Off the show, this show.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Guess what.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Your ro show.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Get out of?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Is he off the line? Jay, hang up the phone.
You know, how the hell does that guy become a professor?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I don't know, but those students are being robbed of
a proper education.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
There see, well said that don'ty way to bring it
all around, and you know, let's not ruin what was
otherwise a terrific show.

Trey Aikman was one of the best Cowboys quarterbacks of
this century.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, bro, common knowledge.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Yeah yeah, we're in the twenty first century and Traickman
retired in the year two thousand. That's the twentieth century.

Trent Dilford led the two thousand Ravens to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah, bro, leader of the team. Look it up. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
The Ravens defense was number one in points allowed, number
two in total yards allowed. So he didn't lead the team.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh yeah, well I'm going to lead you into oncoming traffic.

body parts to my dog.

It's one of the top podcasts in the kids in
Family category. I bet way more people listen to that

able to have kids and a family if you catch
my drift.
