Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to our program on Sports Radio AM thirteen under
the Zone. My name is Craig Wait. Thanks so much
for joining us. Glad to have you with us today.
And us, of course includes the producer of this program.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
He's Cameron D. Parker.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
The D on the birth certificate stands for Dallas or,
in the case of last night, the D stands for
don't touch the block punt. Now, Kim says that he doesn't,
you know, watch the Cowboy You didn't watch us night.
I did not, you know, I got to Here's something else.
Here's another thing I've thought of about this whole phenomenon
(00:35):
of you refusing to watch your refusing to watch your
favorite football team. You know, I've gone about this all wrong.
I've been saying all season long, Hey, you know, you
miss out on some big moments for them like that,
But you did see the craziness at the end of
the Washington game and some of that.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And then what I should have been saying.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Is you're missing out on real rare stuff like what
happened last night. I mean nothing, The Cowboys hadn't done
anything like that since Leon led in nineteen ninety three,
and it's rare to happen anywhere in the National Football League,
but for Imani Warria who touched that live ball, and
I had to explain it. I explained it to my wife,
(01:18):
explained it to Linda, explained it to my youngest son, Jason,
who didn't quite.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Understand the rule. The rule is simple.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
If whether a punt is blocked or not, what if
it goes forward and crosses the line of scrimmage. It's
a live ball. It's just like a regular punt or
even like an onside kick. It's a live ball.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You can touch it if you want to. But if
you touch it and.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You don't field it, like what happened with a warriaight,
it's a live ball. And instead of the Cowboys having
the ball around the Cincinnati forty yard line with just
under two minutes to go and a chance to go
in and win the game, Cincinnati gets it back, they
drive down and of course they hit the long pass
Chris Collins. Were just called it boom, and then it
went in for the touchdown to Jamar Chase, and defeat
(02:08):
is snatched from the jaws of victory for the Cowboys.
So you missed out on some of those rarities that
happens by not watching this football team.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, but it happens to your favorite team, so it's
not as fun if you're on the receiving end of
said block punt.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Now, if you're Bengals fan, that's probably fantastic, even though
you're still only what five and eight this season. Now,
when you're like the team that botched it, then it's like, yeah,
it's not And the win I can just hear you
recap it.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And when the Bengals winning, it gave him a chance
a two percent chance to make the playoffs. In case
you're wondering, the lost Cowboys are still mathematically alive, it
dropped them to a zero point two percent chance to
make the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Are we alives to get the first overall pick? That's
my question. That's what I care more about out at
this point.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Okay, all right, listen, there's different ways to look at it.
Like you said, when it happens to your own team
is not much fun. I think back then, this happened
before I was alive, so I can't really, you know,
a compliment, comment on it as intelligently as I could
if I were alive. But I've read all the history
stuff about the incredible the shot heard around the world
(03:21):
when the Giants beat the Dodgers in the nineteen fifty
one Nationallygue playoff, as the Dodgers had a thirteen and
a half game lead on the Giants in August, they
were in fifth places. They come all the way back
and the Dodgers didn't play poorly down the stretch. They
played about five hundred ball, but the Giants went thirty
seven and seven and caught him.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
And they had a best of three playoff, and.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
The Giants won Game one, and the Dodgers won Game two,
and then it was Game three at the Polo Grounds,
and it looked like the Dodgers that had won four
to one going to the bottom of the ninth and
the Giants get a base hit in a sint in
a double and now it's four to two, and then
there's a walk and then Bobby Thompson hits the what's
called shot heard around the world, the famous three run
walk off home run iron speed the Dodger. So you
(04:01):
know it's in sixty two, they had another playoff when
they tied in the National League and they were a
game of piece and the Dodgers were up four to
going to the top of the ninth in LA where
they only needed to get the three outs, and the
Giants scored four runs off of tiring Sandykofax and the
bullpen and they won. So I've read about those things.
I was only two years old when that happened, so
I have no recall on that. I have, you know,
(04:24):
so I understand what you're saying. When it happens to
your own team, it's not fun, but it's still etched
in history. It's still a part of history.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Bad history, bad football played by two bad teams. On
a very bad play I which was a block punt.
It was it was what fourth and twenty seven? Disgusting?
How do you have fourth and twenty seven as the
NFL team? The punt is blocked, and the thing is
the Cowboys weren't even trying to block the punt. Jerry
says that they weren't even trying to block the punt.
So the Bengals punt unit is garbage. Cowboys blocked the
(04:55):
punt and don't even know how to recover it correctly.
So it's bad play, bad teams, bad football. Entertaining game, sure,
entertaining game. Sure if you're entertained by that, then more
power to do well.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And I will admit this, I was more entertained because
we watched the Manning cast and Bill Belichick was pretty
good on that. John Legend was really good. Yeah, as
Bengals fan h and as they were talking about the
Icky Shuffle and all this stuff, and could we come
to find out that John Legend had actually composed a
song about Peyton Manning? Eli, I didn't even know about it,
and they showed like some file footage of it. He goes,
(05:28):
how do I not know that you had a song?
You never mentioned it to your horne at every turn?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
How did you? How do you this? We just find
this out.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
So it was that, and then Chris collins Worth comes on,
and I'm okay with Chris collins Worth. I've never been
a huge fan, but I've never been really that down
on him anyway. Sometimes he can be a little bit
captain obvious on some things, but he was. He was
wildly entertaining, very funny, told some great stories, and then
he nailed it on what was going to happen when
(05:59):
Theles had the ball after that block plant. First of all,
they were just the all three of them were freaked out.
And then he said they're gonna go deep to Jamar Chase.
They're gonna do it and boom when they rent that
out and even and then he gets something.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
He's laughing.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
He goes, I'm done, takes off his headset and walks out.
It's like a mic drop. He was done. So it
was a lot of fun in that respect. But I
understand what you're saying. If you're a Cowboy fan, it's
not fun. No, and five and eight is not fun,
and they're not going to be in the playoffs, but
it gets you one step close to what you want
is a coaching change. Although Bill Belichick is coaching the
(06:31):
North Carolina Tarty Hills, she won't get Belichick.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, which is said, maybe we can get Mike. I mean, honestly,
I think at this point it's gonna be in Deon Sanders.
That seems like a Jerry Jones move where I'm at
now with the Cowboys. You know, there's certain sporting events
in games where you see the final score. Yeah, okay,
you know, like Titans beat the Jags, right, or Jack's
(06:53):
potitle it doesn't matter ten.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Six Jags beat them all right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Ten six? Keep on scrolling Cowboys Bengals game this morning.
Thingus one, Okay, keep on scrolling. It's there's such a
bad football team, such a bad football team that I
don't even care the scores they could have won. And
my reaction would have been the same exact thing this morning.
But I mean it is good that at least I
hopefully we'll get a better draft pick. Number ten right
(07:17):
now looks like but maybe they'll screw it up some
more in winning game or two down.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The stretch.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Coming up, as if to rub more salt in the
wound of Cameron or other Cowboy fans.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
We're gonna hear from Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
You know, he does that radio drop in appearance on
one to five through the Fan in Dallas every Tuesday,
and he did so this morning. So we're gonna hear
from Jerry about that. We have some more from Dabo Sweeney.
I want you to hear. We'd had some audio yesterday,
but there we didn't get to everything, and there's some
good stuff in there still from the coach of the
Clemson Tigers.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So we'll do that three o'clock hour.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Greg Tapper, managing editor of Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine
joins us tap of course also as a co host
with me and with Aaron Hartigan on the high School
Scoreboard live on what used to be Ballet Sports Southwest
and before that was even Fox Sports Southwest.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's now called fan Duel Sports Southwest.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
But he's also going to be We've done one of these,
two of these together and I had a lot of fun.
And when he serves as the color analyst to me
on a high school football telecast. We did it once
a couple of years ago when Weiss played I'm trying
to remember who it was. It was a game at
(08:31):
the at the field. They was two years ago and
Weiss played. Is the playoff game? No, it was a
week ten game or last game of the regulars. Ship
was a Thursday night might have been, and they just
kind of whacked them. Yeah, anyway, we did we did
a game. We did that that game and then we
(08:52):
did we did a state championship game together and had
a lot of fun. Well, we're going to do a
couple together this year. But as a warm up, Greg
Teber and I are calling the west Lake North Shore
six a Division one state semi final game.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's happening in Katie.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
That's a warm up game those two schools.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
It's a warm up for us and so and ironically,
and I mentioned this yesterday on the show, Ironically, it'll
be the only six A game I do to close
out the year. I've been doing the six A state
championship games on again. It was Fox Sports South I
was going all the way back to the HS days,
and then it was Prime Sports and then Fox Vallet
(09:35):
West for a long time, and then Ballet Sports Southwest
and now it's called FanDuel Sports Southwest, same network, just
different labeling on it. And I've done the six A
state championship games continuously since the last time I missed
was twenty ten. But I'm going to miss both this
year because it falls on the same day as the
Texas Clemson college football playoff game a week from Saturday,
(09:56):
so duty calls obviously, I'll be here for the Texas
Clemson game. Our good friend, the outstanding broadcaster Ted Emrick,
will step in for me on those six A games,
So Ted's gonna do those two six A games. But
I am doing six of the twelve state championship games,
including both six man games, and then two A Division
two has been added to my slate since I lost
(10:16):
the two six A games, and Tepper's gonna work with
me on that. Two A Division two is probably gonna
be Munster and Shiner is probably going to be that.
I think both will probably win their game. I Bringmond
could beat Chiner. Munster I think certainly will win in
state semifinal. And so then we got that, and they
got the three A Division one game and the four
A Division one and the five A Division two. So
(10:38):
I've got those other state championship games. But Tepper is
gonna work with me on that one, so he'll join us.
We'll talk more than high school football, clearly, as we
always do. We start off with college football. We'll do that.
We'll talk from college football high school football. So we
got a lot to get to on the program this afternoon,
and we're glad to have you with us right here
on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone and where
you always listen to for free.
