Greig Way, joined by the producer Cameron Parker. Glad to
(00:03):
have you with us, Glad that you are alongside plenty
to discuss coming up in a few minutes, we'll talk
some baseball with Gene Watson, our MLB insider, because this
is awards week. We find out who wins the MVP
and the Rookie of the Year and the Manager of
the Year and all that stuff. There's that, and then
the free agency derby officially gets underway tomorrow because the
(00:31):
nineteenth was the day the deadline for players who were
tendered offers by Major League clubs to accept those deals
or to seek out employment with another organization. So we'll
get some thoughts from Gena on that that's coming up.
The NFL concludes tonight this week Cowboys and Texans. I
(01:02):
guess we would have been a little more pumped up
about it if the Cowboys have been more competitive, even
though the Texans have had.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Their share of stumbles, you know of late. Do get
Nico Collins back tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Okay, so you're calling it, your calling is a is
a Cowboys win tonight. You're you're on record, You're you're
calling it for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
You know, what it would be fun to see Texans
Twitter just absolutely melt down, because they they have been
melting down the last two weeks. Now, I'm not a texansater.
I like the team. I like c J. Stroud, I
like their talent. They're a fun, underrated team. I hope
their offense can get figured out here, and having having
Niko back will help. Losing Digs out for the year
(01:43):
kind of sucks. I don't know if well Anderson's gonna
play the night which is I think they'll be okay.
I think Craig, you can play linebacker against Rush to
night and and we'll be okay. Anderson is out for
the day's game. So but seeing Twitter, but.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Nico being back, you know that that should help that
that should help the Texans offense.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
And you know, Cowboys offense was already struggling with Dak
in the lineup. Now you take him out, I mean,
who knows what's going to happen. I love this.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Todd Archer does a great job covering the Cowboys for ESPN,
and he says they're talking about how so many things
have conspired to derail this season for the Cowboys. He said,
maybe the first sign of trouble came in training camp
and ox start, a fire started, and players remember that
there was the fire that happened In the three months
(02:35):
since the Cowboys season has deteriorated into a three and
six record. They have a zero point two percent chance
to make the playoffs, according to ESPN.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
So you're telling me there's a chance, boy.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So it's hey, the Rams were three and six last
year and they made the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They flipped it. How about every team in your division
at five and five other than the Cardinals are four
but only one game back.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's still up in the air to see who's going
to do that. Yes, the NFC worst, NFC West used
to call the NFC East the NFC Leased.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
The NFC worst.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
The NFC West couldn't be any worse than That year,
the Seahawks were the division chance with a seven and nine.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Record, but they still won a playoff game. They did.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
They went to New Orleans and won. After that, that's.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Where beast mode was born.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, all right, So here's a couple of things that
have happened at the Cowboys, says Brandon Aubrey Mister week
of schedule practice before the forty nine Ers game, when
he got picked.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
To serve on a jury duty for the Cowboys Best
Player this year.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, he said he didn't think he would be picked
because of the celebrity status, but he was celebrity statue
wow as a kicker. In order to get his work
in after he was done in the courtroom, Aubrey came
to the Star around seven o'clock in the evening. On
the first day, he was unable to kick indoors because
there was event going on inside Ford Center. On the
second there was a high school football game is on Friday.
(04:01):
Aubrey hold of Brian Anger and longtime snapper Trent Sieg
as well as special teams coordinator John Fosso, had to
work in almost complete darkness on the outdoor fields. They
did get some help from flood lights. So and it said,
and from the nineteen two hundred lights shining from volume.
That's the sculpture hanging from the ceiling in the lobby
(04:21):
of the Star. And then the sprinkler started coming on afterwards.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So he had that.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Brandon Cooks de fellowing the infection that required a clean
out procedure just now starting to practice again. Then Jerry
got mad and threatened the job and the host on
one O five through the fan Trayvon Diggs gets into
it with Mike Leslie Channel eight in Dallas. Ezekiel Elliott
(04:50):
inactive for disciplinary reasons, Dak Prescott suffers what has turned
out to be a season ending injury. Anyway, it goes
on and on and on. Oh yeah, sunlight too. Why
don't we just tear the whole place down?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So Micah's podcast and yeah, Cowboy players going at it.
You have that going on, just the constant talk, you know,
Micah with this comment about Mike McCarthy, you know, you
can do whatever he wants, you know, when asked about
the Cowboys need him to come back next season. It's
just been a complete show as it usually is. And
I think that's, you know, designed by Jerry Jones and
(05:28):
this team. I really do. I'm not you know, I'm
not saying that. I don't think you saw all that
crazy stupid turmoils. Maybe not, but he wants the team
to still be in the spotlight. Yeah, I mean, here
we are. It's it's week eleven. The Cowboys have no chance,
and I'm sure there's still a topic on first take, right,
You're still talking about well as long as Stephen A.
Smith is.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, there he's gonna be Yeah, he'll do his little charade,
you know, yeah, he'll do all that. So anyway, so
it is Cowboys Texans tonight.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
There is Manning cast.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
There is Manning cast. I think that's what Linda's not
gonna do tonight. She really digs the Manning cast. So
we'll probably we'll probably watch some of that tonight.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It'll it'll be like a thirteen to three game. At halftime,
it'll be pretty ugly, and then I think the Texans
will pull away late. I'm you know, Shroud and Niko
are due for a sixty five yard touchdown bomb third quarter,
there was a final big something like twenty to nine. Yeah,
you know something something gross. Brendan Aubrey will definitely count
for more points than anyone else in the Cowboys, right
(06:33):
that is. I don't if you can lock that in
on FanDuel or whatever, but that's something that I would
look at if you are a gambling man. I think
believe he was leading the league for a moment.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah right, yeah, it wouldn't be justin Tucker's been struggling, struggled.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That's tough to watch, isn't it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And then and then let me tell you this, those
of us who have Lamar Jackson our fantasy team, I've
lost my game yesterday because Lamar and Jackson stunk up
the joint.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I get this. I'm in a two quarterback league.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So the other one was Matthew Stafford, and I almost
almost started, almost started uh Bo Nick's yesterday, but I
was gonna start him in case in place of Stafford,
not Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I know he'd been won in three against the Steetherers,
but I was like, he'll be good. No, Stafford had
a big game, got me thirty three points. Nicks at
thirty three points would have played him. Oh no, No
I didn't, So I suffered for that.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah. I think Mike Tomlin has a has a has
Lamar Jackson figured out he does, He's got his number
on that. You mentioned the kicking. It wasn't just Tucker,
it was everybody. McPherson missed two field goals that helped
would have helped the Bengals win the game. Yeah, Tyler Bassin, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That's another thing that helped me. It didn't help me.
Missed an extra point.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You know. Bears, of course had a field goal. Way,
was there anyone in the world who thought the Bears
were going to win that game on the field gold.
I mean he came out and everybody, this is going
to get blocked or he's going to miss it wide
left or right now. Well, you there was a higher
chance of him not making that than making it. Because
the Chicago Bears are cursed.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
And Matt eberflews his complaining today. He says they should
have called a penalty. Oh what happened on that? Oh
was it legal? Jumping over the center time leaping thing?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Uh huh?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Said he should have done it, but it didn't so anyway,
so it didn't happen. And I was in Chicago, Yesterdy
saw a ton of Packers and Bears fans walking to
the Soldier Field because when Trust Arena where the Texas
women played, that was that was pretty close to it.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
But yeah, it didn't happen on that Bears not to
be all right.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Up next, we'll talk some baseball with Gene Watson, our
MLB insider. When we continue on Sports Radio AM thirteen
