Speaker 1 (00:20):
If you missed it. At the top end of the program,
Cameron Parker admitted he did watch the Dallas Cowboys yesterday,
or at least some of it. Anyway, the parts that
mattered most there in the fourth quarter. But how maud
he was that? I mean, even in the midst of
all of the madness and the Cavante turpin three sixty
(00:41):
what do you call that? Press the B button is
spin button and whatever? The return even that they showed
a shot of Jerry sitting up in the box and
he didn't look that excited. He's probably what a miss
this is? Realized?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Well, there goes there, Travis Hunter first round. So so anyway,
there was there.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
There was that. But there were some crazy games you
pointed out in the NFL yesterday Bear's Vikings game where
you saw one of the real rarities in this modern
age of the onside kick. It an onside kick that
actually worked. It almost worked for the Rams against the
Eagles last night Dallas Goddard swatted it out of bounds
like a volleyball, so that they penalized him for that,
and they kicked it again and this time he fell
(01:28):
on it to do that. The Washington Dallas thing had
an on side kick returned for a touchdown right.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well once and then I guess you had two, yeah,
because that wasn't an onside kick, right.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So yeah, you had a regular kick off and an
onside kick, so that that was nuts.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
So he had a great day for Washington special teams.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know, you know who had a good day yesterday?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Hm hmm, bo Nicks he did. And someone who's been
very anti boenickt That's why I brought it up. It's
kind of tough, and I've got it. I played him
yesterday instead of Matthew Stafford. Good for you, mainly because
he was going against the Raiders and the Rams were
going to get to the Eagles, So I mean didn't
take a lot of brain power to figure that one out.
He's been a fantastic fantasy quarterback. Yeah, I'll give him that.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
He's been my number three because Lamar Jackson's number one
and I've had Stafford number two. Stafford's having a good year.
When the Rims you know, can actually stop somebody, then
gives him an opportuny. They couldn't stop the Eagles last night.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I think going into on Sunday, I believe he was
he was top ten in terms of points in all that. Yeah,
he was number seven, and then you factor in whatever,
how many points did he have. Let's see ESPN had
him at twenty two points yep, which is pretty good.
So he's over two hundred and sixty points this season.
That's pretty good. He's kind of in that same tier
(02:49):
with all the other guys. I mean, Lamar Jackson is
in his own tier and he can add to that tonight.
But yeah, I mean you got to give credit to
what Sean Payton and the Broncos are in this season.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
They would be in the playoffs now if the playoffs begin,
and I think they will be right, they got a
good shot at it. I think so. And the Chargers too.
Now in the Hardball Bowl tonight, the Chargers play the Ravens,
and the Ravens have to keep their front on the gas,
especially with the Steelers losing to the Browns the other
night and that blizzard in Cleveland's chance for the Ravens
(03:22):
to draw closer again, and then in the NFC the
Lions continue to roll, the Vikings and Backers continue to roll. Clearly,
it's the best division, if not at all, of pro football. Definitely,
the best division in the NFC is the NFC North.
(03:42):
I mean, even the Bears, you know, we're kind of
hanging around a little bit now, they're kind of falling off.
And the worst division is clearly the NFC West, the
NFC worst, as I call it, I don't know, Okay,
you got the Cardinals at six and five and the
Seahawks at six and five tied for the division lead
at six wins five losses by one game of the
(04:04):
five and six forty nine Ers in the five and
six Rams, mediocrity thy name is the NFC West. But
all I think.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
All four teams you could argue as okay, their playoff
teams in the NFC South. I think the Falcons are
on the same level as the Rams and the forty
nine ers in terms of how good they are. So sure,
if you want, like, hey, yeah, the winner is going
to probably have the worst record, maybe depending on Atlanta,
But I don't know, I think all four of those
teams in the NFC West are better than all four
(04:33):
teams in the South and the NFC East.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He's got Tampa Bay also in the South. Five and six.
Well that's what I can say about the Rams in
the forty nine Ers, eh, okay, five and six during
the playoffs? Are you more afraid of Baker Mayfield? Or
are you more afraid of a Rams team that has
won the Super Bowl or a forty nine Ers team
that has been to the Super Bowl twice? What a
(04:55):
mess they looked like yesterday? Well, I mean, who's their quarterback?
Yeah right, Dighton Allen? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew the
forty nine Ers were doomed yesterday because Brandon Allen was
wearing Steve de Berg's old number seventeen. Look it up,
Google it as a Kurt Signetti, the Indiana coach, says,
I feel like Brandon, what's his name, Brandon Allen? He
was like an All State quarterback at like I don't know,
(05:18):
Wake o'connelly or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, so
you're gonna you know him and guys like him and
Gardner Minshew Gardner Minshew I think has set a record
in my fantasy league, but for being most most player
picked up and dropped people said, just passing him around,
except me, I wouldn't go in there. But yeah, you
(05:39):
know what. Yeah, So anyway, I think the NFC, there's
a decent chance the NFC West champion could be nine
and eight. The fact that there's a real good chance
it could be nine and eight. Ten and seven right
now would win that division. Nine and eight, good chance
it could win the division eight nine is not out
(05:59):
of the realm of possibility, even in that division. So
it's a mess.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I heard some discussion today about could the Cowboys get
in Let's stop, guys, let's go ahead them to stop the.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Conversation, just stop Which wild Cards? Are they gonna jump
by past? Are they gonna jump past Washington again? They
gotta play them again? But there's still what three games
back of the Commanders? Okay, uh, that's an East. Okay,
so you're gonna jump past both both the Vikings and
the Packers. If we're to assume that the Lion's winning
(06:32):
the NFC North. Are they gonna jump past the Falcons
who own the tie breaker on them? Are they gonna
jump past the Bucks? Are they gonna jump past the
forty nine ers who owned the tie breaker on them?
That's six teams right there, and not even including the
(06:53):
teams that are gonna win the divisions. So stop, just stop.
You sound more down on them than me. Well, I'm
I'm just laying out the reality, just like I'm laying
out the reality for the Rams. The only way the
Rams are gonna get in the playoffs is to win
that that for COCTA Division. That's the only way they're
getting five and six, you know. Now, And they still
(07:14):
have to play Buffalo. Now. They got the Jets, and
they have return engagements with the forty nine ers, the
Seahawks and the Cardinals, all of whom they could beat,
probably won't, but at least they have a pathway. I
see no pathway for the Cowboys to make the playoffs,
do you No?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's now with all these injuries here. I mean, if
you look at this game, Craig.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Now, all the losses, they get, seven losses.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It's a fun victory, but it's one of those games.
Ok you had two special teams touchdowns, which is always
you know, kind of a sign of like, okay, you
probably could have lost this game. You mentioned you guys,
what uh Shankfield Gold two missed extra points? Yeah, one
that would have send it the overtime, Ye didn't Cyber
also shank of field gold. Yeah, so there's there's three
(08:04):
plays right there now. Of course, Washington has not been
the same team since the Jayden Daniels injury. But if
you play this game ten times, Washington probably wins it eight.
And this happened to be one of the two times
the Cowboys went.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah. A couple of things on the text line. Somebody
said as Seapower, he said, listening to SEC talk, you
think UT fans get irate. Alabama fans are going crazy,
poor things. I bet they are. I bet they're pretty
upset there. And then somebody else said, Louisiana high school
football overtime was decided on penetrations. That's what they had
in Texas through nineteen ninety five, three levels of tie
(08:42):
break twenty yard line penetrations. If your team got inside
the other team's twenty yard line, it was supposed to
be emblematic of how they had had the more control
of the game. If that was tied, the next thing
they went to was first downs. I did a playoff
game at Texas Stadium in nineteen eighty seven between Odessa
(09:02):
Permian and Arlington High and it went to the second
tiebreak total first downs. You couldn't do that now, no
third tiebreak. Total yardage was what they had, So they
had those tie breaks. I did a game. Somebody asked me,
have you ever called a game on Thanksgiving Night other
than Texas, Texas A and M, And the answers, Yes,
I've done several high school playoff games on Thanksgiving Night,
(09:25):
including one in nineteen eighty three between number one and
number two in the state and two A. It was
Boyd and Pilot Point. Boyd had Billy Joe Tolliver quarterback,
went on the play at Texas tacket and in the NFL,
and the game tied thirteen thirteen. Each team missed an
extra point, the deciding thing in those days. Pilot Point
(09:45):
fumbled on their own twenty one yard line late in
the third quarter. Boyd recovered, advanced to about the thirteen
yard line, turned it over on downs. That was the
difference of the ball game. That was the third penetration
inside the twenty. So it's happened. It's happened. Fortunately they
got away from that tie break. We'll be back to
wrap up our number two on sport Radio AM thirteen
