Rhodes weekend was really good?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah. I actually had you know, some fun over the weekend,
which I normally don't, you know. I'm using the house
with my I blanket up to my neck and watching football,
but I got out a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well, we had fun on Sunday when we were together
on end Zone Radio on a lot of sports radio
every week five o'clock Eastern, two Pacific carry and I
get you through that late window. And yesterday's late window
provided some drama with the Cowboys coming back against the
Eagles Jaguars in overtime, top of the Cardinals. We had

of the things that happened this weekend and why not
go around the room and find out however everyone else's
weekend went. In a segment we like to call love
and Hate?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
What did you love?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
God?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I love you and what did you hate?
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Meet these player Hays.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Isaac Glohan, cron is here, as is Iowa Sam and
our executive producer Jason Stewart. An amazing weekend of sports. Jason,
you are our? Is it a thoughtful skeptic? Is that
what it was?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Was that?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
What it was? Thoughtful skeptic?
Speaker 7 (02:05):
Thoughtful skeptic?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Okay, Doug likes to call him resident hater and always
starts to hate with Jason. We're gonna start what we
love from the weekend from Jason Stewart.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
Thank you, Dan. I'll take it from here.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I'll take it from here.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
Now you're gonna think this is contrary because the first
thing you guys are all gonna think, especially Isaac, Wait
a minute, you're a Chargers fan. What do you mean?
How could you possibly say these words? I love that
the Chiefs won. I love that the Chiefs won. What
they are above five hundred, it's as opposed to under
(02:41):
a five hundred because they won an overtime yesterday. I've
made this point in the past and I'm gonna keep
repeating it. I want the Chiefs to go to the
playoffs and lose. I don't want the end of their
dynasty to come up short of the playoffs. I don't
want it to be like, oh, it just came to
a slow, boring death. I want there to be a
moment in the playoffs where the dynasty ended and it
(03:03):
was that play that misread that sack. I want to
be able to point out the end of the dynasty
as they lose in the playoffs. So I love that
the Chiefs won yesterday. To keep my storyline alive, man,
the fact that he loved that.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, I think that Tom Telesco probably agrees with you
because he said, sure, the year that I'm not in
the division, the Chiefs take a step back. But if
they were to go on a late push here, then
it would kind of make it be like, Okay, well
I'm glad. So I think Tom Telesco was kind of
with you in that scenario. I think every other fan
(03:40):
of every other team would want them out. I'm seeing
videos and other content of people saying if the Chiefs
get in, look out. Yeah. Do you think yesterday was
example of that they had thirty three first downs in
their win against the Colts or do you think that
that actually represents a problem that they needed overtime in
(04:02):
a game that they ended up dominating. You know, it
needed a late win.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, It's it's an interesting It's an interesting thing when
you watch them. You think, when they get in the playoffs,
because we've seen it the last ninety two years, that
they're going to find a way to win. And so
I don't know if any team that's on the cusp
of being in the playoffs, like you guys, your Chargers, Jason,
I don't think you want to see them or want
them to be sniffing the playoffs, I think you want
(04:27):
them out.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I'll say, I think it's they shut down the Colts
running game and it was the overtime win yesterday. Colts
got the ball first, didn't do anything with it, and
then allowed Kansas City to just go down and big
place from where shehi Rice. I think that there's some
other issues at hand.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
More than them stopping them. I just don't think the
Colts had enough opportunities either. They kept the ball so
much away from them. So, you know, saying that they
shut down Jonathan Taylor, they should be kudos for it.
But if it gets five more carries, he's known to
break one. So the final four possessions for the Colts
were three yea.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Yeah, carry my analogy and as an actor, you'll you'll
relate to this. When you have invested nine episodes in
a series that you're bening in a great villain, a
great villain that has been written well performed, well, you
just don't want them to see get them see shot
in the head to end. I needed a painful death.
(05:20):
I needed to I need him to feel it. Yes,
if I'm going to invest this time in the Chiefs dynasty.
I want to see an interesting ending.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Jab Jason wants the Chiefs to fall into a vat
of acid, like very very dramatic, like Batman era of
of like a villain's death. And I'm meaning that all
figured of course, yeah, I get I get that. And
the point that I used was the Patriots losing to
the Titans, Tom Brady throwing an interception that is brought
(05:50):
back for a five yard pick six. Ending the dynasty
was there was a conclusion to that. It wasn't this
empty feeling. And I think that there's you know, even
when you look at the Bulls Championships of when they
won three and then it like ended, there was no
(06:11):
opportunity to cancel them out. Even in nineteen ninety five
when Jordan returned, like they got they were beaten by
the Magic in the conference semi finals. But we never
looked back and say, look at that Orlando knocked them
out in ninety five. We never ever talk about a
Jordan fail because he returned in March of that year.
(06:31):
I got one more thing quickly, So you guys concerned
it all with the Chiefs performance where they had almost
five hundred yards of offense, they had what thirty three
first downs, Yes, but they only had one touchdown. Yeah,
they kicked a lot of field goals, So I don't
know when they get to the postseason, maybe you're a
little alarmed by that.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I am God. Then no, I said it yesterday with Kerry.
They completely dominated and needed to kick a field goal
in overtime to win it at the end. I don't
think that that's a great thing for Kansas City. Yes, Sam,
they're not a great team. They don't have weapons on
the outside that can win one on one, so everything's
compacted in the middle. They're relying on a lot of
Patrick Mahomes magic in those little in between game, but
(07:09):
they don't have a guy on the outside that can
win when they.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Need to win. Carrie, what you love from the weekend? Man,
I love from the weekend. So I ended up having
a performance on Friday. I thought I was going to
do a sound check and have, you know, just test
the waters and check out a new venue called the Phoenix.
It's in Beverly Hills, and so I ended up performing
and ended up having a real nice crowd and had
a really good time. So it was an amazing Friday
(07:34):
for me really late. I was tired around ten, but
I pushed through and now it made it. It was
a good moment, good good, good There gos do bet
at eight pm? Oh for those all the time? Yes,
the Phoenix. What kind of a place is this? What's it?
It's like a I guess it's like a bar. They're
trying to change it to a venue. They have outside
and inside, nice food, nice drinks, and you know, I
(07:55):
did it early, and so the first performance was kind
of like it was just a few people there and
the DJA was like, no, they come around ten. I
was like ten, I'm going home. But uh I stayed
performed and man had had a great time.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
Now do you get up really early or do you
like sleep like twelve hours? Oh no, No, I get
up super early. Okay, like my dad does it. He
goes a bet at like eight o'clock. Weeks up at
like five thirty with no alarm, alarm, just naturally gets up.
He's had enough sleep.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah. I've texted Carrie like eight forty five at night
and then at four forty two in the morning, my
phone ding ding isac long kraw what you love for
on the weekend.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
I loved that Justin Herbert was not sacked and was
not hit all weekend for once. Of course it was
because the Chargers were on their bye week.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
He was he was that a gong. Do we have
a gong at our studio?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
That was very gongish?
Speaker 9 (08:51):
Was it was Justin Herbert getting hit.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I did see him in another social media post with
his girlfriend and like, this is this is the new
Herbert two point zero.
Speaker 9 (09:01):
He was up in Oregon and he looked really mellow.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Iowa, Sam, would you love from the weekend.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
There was a lot to love this weekend, But I'm
going to focus on one little thing that I watched
on Sunday Night Football.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Oh, Sunday Night Football. This was from the NBC broadcast.
They were cheer.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
They were giving cheers to Chris Collinsworth for his five
hundredth game broadcast. He started in nineteen ninety September of
nineteen ninety, so he's been at at this for thirty
five years.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Lots of nice tributes to Chris Collinsworth, Joe Buck, Troy Aikman,
several others. And then the legend Al Michaels gives his
little toast and this is how it went.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Thirteen seasons, two hundred and sixty three games for Super Bowls,
A total blasted. I want to congratulate you on five
hundred games, and he and my friend to five hundred more.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Five hundred more would put would put Chris Collinsworth at
one hundred and one years ago, sixty six he started,
he was thirty one.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Oh my god, I love the like al Michaels is
a legend.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
He's just doing his job and he's trying to get
you know, one day to the next. But it's like saying,
here's the fifty years of marriage and fifty more that's
not gonna happen. So I was just like, you know,
al Michael's your heart was in the right place, but
there won't be a thousand game broadcasts.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
It just won't happen. Like damn took that literally, yes,
but I.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Mean it's it's just one of those things you're like,
if you really think about the end of that, you
know in a five hundred more, Like I just I
don't know. I love al Michaels, but that wasn't very sincere.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The reason I look at myself last was because I
wanted to do a combo. Oh. Yes, but the hate
of mine had to go first before I got to
the love. So I hated what John Morant oh had
to say to Clay Thompson calling him a bum, calling
(10:56):
Clay Thompson a bum after a meaningless November basketball game
that Ja Morant didn't play in. Yeah, but Clay Thompson
doesn't need me to stick up for him to take
down Ja Morant. He doesn't need you. What I loved
was sixty seconds of Klay Thompson absolutely undressing Jahn Morant's
(11:20):
entire professional basketball career after their game on Saturday.
Speaker 10 (11:25):
He's a funny guy. He has a lot to say
all the time, especially for a guy who rarely takes accountability.
But uh, you know what, that's for another day.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
What did job to say on this occasion?
Speaker 10 (11:36):
Nothing of intelligent depth, just running his mouth. He's been
running his mouth for a long time. It's funny to
run your mouth when you're on the bench. It's kind
of the story of his career so far, just leaving
us ont more. You know, we all want to see
him out there and do his best, but he's just
been letting a lot of other stuff get.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
In a way of that.
Speaker 10 (11:56):
And we need that in the NBA. We need our
best players in the out there, and when you're a
star comes with a great responsibility. I hate to see
that go to waste.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
M I loved it, absolutely magnificent sixty seconds of audio
calling John Morant's words basically empty, effectatively saying that the
cur has been a waste so far if you're being
one of the NBA superstars, and to be able to
handle that situation, by the way, Clay sticking up for
(12:26):
Cooper flag yep, in situations where Northern Mavericks players are like,
if you didn't already love Klay Thompson, you should now
for what he just did. And that was put John
Morant in a verbal body bag.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
So it was the picture of John Morant on the
screen and underneath in the caps and it said unintelligible.
Speaker 9 (12:44):
Hey guys, is it me or did it seem that
Clay Thompson had had that saved in drafts folder for
a while if I can put it that way, yes.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Because you know, Methods and Golden State had a lot
of you know, weird interactions and their playoff history as well,
and so I'm on board with you, Dan I John
Moran is so overrated to me, and he is and
the concept of who he is as a person as
a basketball player is way above what really is that.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
It's really the deal. He had an opportunity to be
this magnificent star in the NBA. Yeah, the story was
great Murray State having his athleticism, which, by the way,
is gonna go by very very quickly if you continue
to be injured like he is all the time, He's
gonna learn the reality really fast. And I think when
(13:32):
you're gonna look back on it, yeah, what a waste
of what could have been. And then they have that
attitude to take one of your greates and call him
a bum to his face while you're sitting there in
a Nike tracksuit, like get out of here with that jazz.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
And about to be traded or whatever, Like it's just
not a it's not a happy place to be. John
Morant needs to he just needs.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
To shut up. That's what he needs to do. That
was my love from the week.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
I love the fact that he went after him for
lacking depth. If you're gonna be a heel, at least
be imaginative and like we all work with these people
at work that have nothing under the surface, and you
could tell the level of contempt that Clay Thompson has
for someone who isn't interesting. If you're going to be
(14:19):
a thorn in my you know whatever in my side,
at least be imaginative or interesting. You're neither. You're just nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Clay Thompson came back from two extremely serious injuries, costing
himself two years of his career, right and he's playing
more than John Morantes right now.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It's it's ridiculous. And that guy he's talking about that's
a bum is a top seventy five player all time,
and yeah, yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Kudos to Klay Thompson. All right, what you hate from
the weekend, Let's go to our resident look excited critic
Jason Stewart.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Well, I I hated that. I so just from a
context all of our listeners can relate to this. I
get into a fantasy league every year that's a little
out of my budget. I take a chance it's a
little too much that I shouldn't be spending this much.
And I went ahead and I chose Jamar Chase with
the first overall pick instead of Robinson. Okay, Jamar Chase
(15:22):
I'm on the playoff bubble in this league that I
can't afford. Jamar Chase made a decision that got him
suspended for yesterday's game as I'm on my playoff bubble
and I got my ass kicked in my fantasy league.
And I was complaining to Dan all week last week
that we had yet to see any kind of acknowledgment, accountability,
or an apology from Jamar Chase. He just wrote one.
(15:45):
He just wrote one today, guys. He apologizes to his teammates,
to the Steelers and the fan base. I don't see
anywhere in here where it says Jason Stewart or taking
me first overall, or any of my fantasy owners who
wasted their top pick on me. Not one acknowledgment. So
(16:08):
I hate that, Jamar Chase. It took you seven days
to read an apology that your agent obviously wrote for you.
Jalen Carter, who is not a mensa, but somebody got
into his ear the game after he did the spitting
incident and was apologizing to everybody involved before anyone could
(16:29):
get out of the locker room. It took Jamar Chase,
a veteran who gets paid fifty million dollars a year
to read an agent prepared apology seven days after the fact,
after telling everybody that he never spit on the guy.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I think you're part of NFL community. I think that
you are. I don't think he's talking about just employees.
I know you're not a fan, I know you're not
on his team, and I know you're not a member
of the Bengals or Steelers organization. But NFL community I
think is you. I think it's population US.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
So I way too vague.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, I think that that fits. But by the way,
Jamar Chase is gonna have to carry quite a load
because T Higgins got a concussion yesterday against the Patriots,
and to think that he's going to come back and
play Thursday against the Ravens probably a long.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
It's too late. I'm out of my playoff.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I don't care. Isaac Loring craw what you hate from
the Weekend?
Speaker 9 (17:23):
I hate it because of its implications for the future
of humanity. But at the same time, I kind of
love it because.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
I think it's hilarious.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Have you guys heard of a website called the Onion?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Are you serious?
Speaker 9 (17:40):
I was kind of being I was kind of being
Onion asked by Onion fashion right there. So anyway, the
Detroit Lions have a rookie offensive lineman named Tate Rattledge,
and The Onion posted an item over the weekend, Detroit
Lions rookie asks for Thanksgiving off It purportedly quoted him saying,
(18:05):
I know we have a game schedule, but my family
has this big tradition where we all get together on
Thanksgiving and have a feast and watch football. Plus my
mom said she's making pumpkin pie just for me. It's
my favorite unquote. A lot of people thought that was
actually real on social media, and rat Lich told reporters
(18:27):
that he was bombarded by messages from people that he
knew thinking that was real, and an additional Lions team
employee told him that someone actually called a local Detroit
Lion a local Detroit radio station to complain that he
had asked for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Amazing, just so great. But I saw I read the
post first or heard about it, and then I knew
exactly exactly how it looked, how The Onion did it
in their presentation magnificent.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
Thirty five years yars later or so, and people still
don't know the Onion is just satire. Oh it's the best,
Sam would you hate from the weekend? Well, this is
more of a I guess a lament than a hate.
This is love and lament. But my cousin Henry played
quarterback for the Van Meter Bulldogs and their quest for
a state championship came to a screeching hault last Friday.
(19:20):
Unfortunately it was uh oh Henry, Oh, thank you very much.
Henry played against a team called Kemper Catholic and they
were undefeated. And they lost in that title game twenty
eight to seven Friday morning. But they were just out man.
Henry had to play quarterback, cornerback, punt and kick and
he played tough. He took a couple of sacks. He
(19:41):
was tough though, and All American linebacker Pat Anger, who
was doing the color commentary for this game. He's also
IOWA Football's color commentary guy. He had some nice words
for Henry here towards the in the waiting seconds of
the game.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Ailesbury has been extremely tough all game. He has been
tremendous with his arm, with his legs. He's done a
really great job fighting for this Van Meter team and
keeping him in this ball game. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
So Henry has a He's definitely on the top of
the list as far as the plant, pass and kick competition.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So he man, he covered it all. Great soccer player too.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
But Van Meter is very proud athletics tradition, and they've
wanted a couple of times over the years but just
didn't have enough, have enough horses against Is this the first.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Year hearing of this this outcome? Is this the first
that you've heard of it?
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Yeah, he didn't take it to the group text on Saturdays.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Well, I was, I was flipping through and I saw
CNN and they said Van Meter expired it right, and
so I knew that they ran out of time in
the endpired. Yeah, that was the breaking news headline. It's
very very clever there.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Thank you, thank you well, thank you CNN, CNN, thank
you CNN, and thank you Dan. But very proud of
Henry and his bulldogs. They just a good job, Hank,
Good job, Hank, Thank you very much and.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Carry you get the last word. What'd you hate from
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I'm hating Lane Kiffin m Yeah, I'm hating that he's
on the team right now that has that's probably going
to be in the college playoff, has a chance to
win the national championship, and he's negotiating with a team
in the same in the same conference, in the SEC
that hasn't want anything. And you know, obviously money comes
into play, and that's that's what makes our world go
(21:22):
around these days. But how about sticking with the kids
that you brought up and actually went through the fire
with and win a championship there. I mean, they've treated
him well, he's he's been well received in Mississippi, and
so the fact that he's right now solidifying closing the
deal with the in conference team is just asinine to me.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
The business of college football. Oh Dan, I hate it
so much, Territoris that I were in last week talking
about this and the statement came out like at the
end of the show. And when I read the statement
that the decision was going to be made the next
day after the Egg Bowl, I immediately I said, oh,
Lane can stay on and he can take the job
(22:04):
after the season, and that is just not possible anymore.
It completely shot down my argument, just like that. I
they should be Mississippi State, right, but it could get
ugly on Saturday. He's carry roads. I'm Dan Byer. This

Then every time he say it's Greg Olsen, I'm like,
is he doing color? And he's been oc for the
Raiders on Sunday? It was it was, That was well.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Jason Stewart has sent us various trading cards of the
Greg Olsens that that littered major League baseball in the
late eighties early nineties. I thought it was the reliever.
You went with the Braves catcher at first and then
came back with the former Orioles closer.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Yeah, it was a I thought it was a very
funny joke. Sam didn't laugh at all. I think it's
very specific to Yeah, if you loved early nineties baseball,
you knew that too. Greg Olsen's existed, and then you
bring it forward forty years now, thirty years and there's
a Greg Olson in the news, and god, that was
a funny joke. But Sam I hated it.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I just remember I didn't hate it.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
I just know he didn't laugh once.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I was just trying to do it anything he said
it was busy. I was just busy. The Orioles Reliever
was double G. Actually was triple G because of the
first G, but two g's at the end.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
He's found an alarging number of Greg Olsen's. Well, they're
just it's a popular name. I guess absolutely every Olympic

(24:03):
twenty four to twenty one, beating the Philadelphia Eagles, getting
some key turnovers and also getting some key stops. Jerry
Jones talking about the Cowboys win after that twenty four
point twenty four unanswered points in yesterday's contest. Here's the
Cowboys owner slash general manager.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
We had to have something at this level of excellence
on run stopping that he brought to the tape. We
had to have that, and we didn't need to give
up a pass rush to get it. And we knew
since before we left training camp he could do that.
We are proud we've got him. And I don't know
(24:50):
of anyone that has helped his team anymore to win
this year. So the good times we've had, Pickens has
had his hand in.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
It for most of all.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
So George Pickens with a great game yesterday for the
Dallas Cowboys, who are now five to five and one.
Quinnon Williams, in his debut on a week ago from
today against the Raiders at one and a half sacks,
was a part of a defense that shut down Saquon
Barkley yesterday. Pickens, by the way, the most impressive part
(25:20):
of the nine catches in the one hundred and forty
six yards were the nine targets cut every single pass
that Dacked threw to him. Sebee Lamb four catches on
eleven targets, including the one that went through the bread
basket that had carry screaming at the top of his lungs.
But maybe, just maybe Jerry Jones got it right that
(25:42):
Jerry Jones at least has an idea of what he's doing.
And I think that football teams need to be built
from the inside out. So when you're talking about defense,
it's who you've got on that defensive line that you
need to start there. And if they're paying Quinn Williams
(26:03):
almost half of what you would have had to pay
Micah Parsons to do what he does, I get what
Jerry's saying. He's now got Quinn Williams on the interior
of that line for the next couple of years. Sure
that they've given up picks, but I'll tell you what,
the acquisive acquisition of George Pickens sure looks pretty good
for the Dallas Cowboys and helping Dak Prescott lead an
offense that is one of the better offenses in the
(26:26):
National Football League. So you can make fun of Jerry Jones,
we all do it, But at this point in where
they are, and with at least in this week, Jerry Jones'
decisions have been paying off for the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, I agree. Right now it's looking it's looking really
good for the Cowboys. Obviously, they got a tough schedule
moving forward, and they're in a position where you know
their playoff hopes is you know they're hanging on by
a thread. But when you look at this team and
you look about look at this thing, especially defensively, they've improved.
They've gotten Quinn Williams in the middle there to man
(27:02):
it down. And you talked about it. If you're in
a position to not be in leads in games and
you're not just keeing off and having the killer edge
rusher that can go out and calls havoc a lot
of times, you're just wasting You're wasting money, and you're
wasting resources on the guy that, yes, he may be
one of the best at his position, but if you
(27:24):
can bring in guys at a fraction of that that
can pull off the same some of the same things
that he can and make that team better overall with
their foundation and being able to go out and get
other guys, like right now, you brought in George Pickens
in the offseason knowing this is a contract year and
right now he's playing up to that level. Now you
have money to bring that guy back if you need to,
(27:44):
and so that's the thing about these gms and these
head coaches when they going to make any decisions on
overpaying for players just because that's the asking price. Jerry
Jones doesn't do that. And I think for right now
this has been a good move.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I think you can look at the Cowboys schedule. Now
we're not going to do game for game, but the
point is is every game on their slate is winnable
and when you have that option, and that includes this
Thursday against the Chiefs, I wouldn't be shocked if Dallas
wins that game. There's probably gonna be a lot of
momentum from the Chiefs win, but I wouldn't be surprised
(28:19):
if Dallas wins that contest. And earlier the season you
could not say that about the Cowboys. They were all
right defensively, but they were not good defensively, and they'd
be able to keep Philadelphia in check. And I know
Philadelphia has got their issues, and we're always talking about
Philadelphia's issues, but maybe yesterday was actually about the Dallas
Cowboys making some right decisions. I'm not surprised they kind
(28:41):
of got off to a slow start and kind of
maybe an understatement down twenty one or nothing. It's also
a short week for them. They're playing on Monday night
football on the road against the Raiders. Come back, huge
divisional win. They found their footing, they made plays. You
again set it on Sunday that the game wasn't over.
So Jerry Jones at least making some decisions and the
Cowboys is crazy. It may seem not out of it
(29:03):
at five five and one, with a game against the
Lions coming up, and the Lions right now on the
outside looking into the playoffs. They've got the Packers coming
up on Thanksgiving. That is not a sure win for Detroit.
So there's an opportunity for Dallas here to actually make
a push at the end of the season.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I want to throw an extra patter on the back
and the kudos two for the Cowboys. And it's not
about any of the players. It's not about Jerry Jones.
Let's get Brian so Sottenheimer's some love as well. People
laughed at that higher people said, what was Jerry Jones doing?
And why is Brian Soottenheimer the guy? He's not going
to be the right guy in Dallas. He seemed to
have that culture moving in the right direction. He's done
(29:38):
a really good job.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, great postgame speech as well for Brighten Schottenheimer on
that win against Philadelphia. He's carry Roads. I'm Dan Byer.
Jason Stewart Iowa, Sam Isaac Lowencron also hanging out with
us on this Monday as we are in for Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. I'm Dan Byer. He's
Carrie Rhad sitting in for Doug today. Doug right now
is in a TV timeout. Is Green Bay Phoenix up
sixty eight to sixty four on Iona? Yes, three forty
to go.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It's down the.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Four, down to four, come down to four. Official TV
timeout is what the stat sheet tells us. We just
can't find the TV that it's actually on to get
the TV timeout. We thought maybe it was on ESPN Plus,
like one of the games was earlier in the tournament,
but it was not. Today. But Doug squad is up
by four with three forty left to go.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
He's done a good job so far this year. He's
gotten them to play harder, obviously smarter a year under
and yeah, rooting for Doug get this win.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Sesame Street helped raise all of us. Now it's our
turn donate this holiday season at Sesame dot org because
the world needs Sesame and Sesame needs you. They don't
need a victory, but it'd be sure nice to have.
They could get one today against Iona. We need Isaac
Lohencron to give us the headlines of the day.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
The press.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
What's going on? Isaac?
Speaker 9 (31:14):
All right, fellas, let's start with the Cincinnati Bengals. Where
today there and goach. Zach Taylor said he expects Joe
Burrow to play this Thursday against the Ravens, making his return.
Burrow himself even posting a picture of himself on his
ig story with the caption He's back. Bengals. Of course,
(31:36):
yesterday lost to the Patriots to fall.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
To three and eight.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I told you last week that Joe Burrow needed to
start yesterday against New England so they wouldn't fall to
three and eight. And I think if Joe Burrow plays
in the game, Cincinnati has a much better chance of
winning and maybe actually does win. And if that would
have been the case, they would have gotten help from
the Bears by beating the Steelers, now that your Jets
(32:00):
didn't help them out with them losing to the Ravens,
but you would be two games back instead. They're three
and eight. Do you know how many games the Bengals
have won since Joe Burrow went out with his injury.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
They've won one one? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
It is almost worst case scenario for Cincinnati and we
are sitting there holding out hope that this team could
make the playoffs. They've won one game one. They are
one and eight since Week two when they survived against Jacksonville.
Jake Browning took over those couple of games that they lost.
They decided we need to make a change. Let's go
(32:43):
acquire Joe Flacco. So they do. We see the Sunday
night game, right, we remember that one. I think we
thought that was like three wins in one and how
we're going to look at that victory because it has
gone It was almost worst case scenario for Cincinnati when
Joe Burrow went out, and now you expect him to
(33:03):
come back on Thursday night and save the day. The
math doesn't even work out, Carrie like, and it's gonna
be so difficult. The Ravens and Steelers haven't played yet
this season, right, so if one team sweeps another, they're
gonna get two wins. It's two wins at Cincinnati really
can't afford those other teams to have. There is zero
margin of error for Cincinnati, and it's why they needed
(33:23):
Joe Burrow last week. Now you're gonna go and face Baltimore.
Jamar Chase is back, but not likely without t higgins Man.
They needed them to play this past weekend, and they
need them to play yesterday. I think it's too little,
too late for the Bengals. One hundred agree with that. Dan,
I was just gonna say that. I was doing the
math over here.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I was like, if they won last game in the
four and seven, it'd be only two games behind, which
isn't insurmountable. It seems like only this is gonna be
a one bid league, and they could have wanted the
vision in that in that instance, but three and eight,
he might as well get ready for next year. I
wouldn't even put him out there.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
It's I don't know what you do with someone in
that injury situation, like with Joe Burrow, but with six
games left, I think you're right, you do have to
play him. I just don't think they have any shot
at making the postseason. It was everything almost went wrong.
They still scored a lot of points. Yep, they just
couldn't get stops.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Yeah you got. I mean, as much as you paid them,
you definitely have to play them.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (34:20):
So yeah, got a little surprise for you guys. Let's
take a quick Listen in, I found it two and
a half minutes left.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
Allan spin, move off the glass.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Good.
Speaker 9 (34:33):
So with that basket, Doug's Green Bay Phoenix has taken
a seventy four to sixty six lead over all right,
two minutes and eighteen seconds left to play in the
second half.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Justin Allen is the the guard who's got the highlight there,
he's twenty six on the game right now, that's right, Iowa,
Sam's got a little something. What do you got?
Speaker 8 (34:53):
I have to come clean here. This game was on
Oh sorry, this game was on ESPN. I did not
realize that. It just it didn't say anything. It didn't
say ESPN Plus next to the game. But then I
found a little watch button and then I'm like, oh,
it's right there.
Speaker 9 (35:09):
Oh that's ESPN Plus gets a minus sprits branding. Apparently,
our final item comes from football. The other football Premier
match Premier League match today between Manchester United and Everton.
Everton midfielder Adrisa Ganaghey was given a red card for
(35:30):
slapping a player in the head. The catches and the
reason I'm relaying it to you is he got a
red card because he slapped his own teammates in the head.
Teammate Michael Key, and he slapped him in the head
after they got into a dispute on the field because
of a miscue during the match. I didn't know that
(35:52):
you could get a red card for doing something to
your own teammate, but there you go, soccer surprising. That's
this addition to the press by get out there and pressed.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
That was the press.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
So JJ McCarthy's in concussion protocol, Max Prosmer or the
rookie would have to start if he can't go against
the Seahawks. I as a Seahawks fan, would rather see
JJ McCarthy at quarterback right now. I have no idea
what Max Rosmer could provide, and it's not to mock
JJ McCarthy who's in concussion protocol, but statistically it is
not there, and right now the Vikings are an absolute mess.
(36:27):
Maybe better off for JJ McCarthy to take some time
away these carry roads. I'm Dan Byer. Talk to you
next time here on Fox Sports Radio
