  Speaker 1: Greig Way, joined by the producer Cameron Parker. Glad to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: have you with us, Glad that you are alongside plenty
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to discuss coming up in a few minutes, we'll talk
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: some baseball with Gene Watson, our MLB insider, because this
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: is awards week. We find out who wins the MVP
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and the Rookie of the Year and the Manager of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the Year and all that stuff. There's that, and then
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the free agency derby officially gets underway tomorrow because the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: nineteenth was the day the deadline for players who were
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: tendered offers by Major League clubs to accept those deals
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: or to seek out employment with another organization. So we'll
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: get some thoughts from Gena on that that's coming up.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: The NFL concludes tonight this week Cowboys and Texans. I
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: guess we would have been a little more pumped up
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: about it if the Cowboys have been more competitive, even
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: though the Texans have had.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Their share of stumbles, you know of late. Do get
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Nico Collins back tonight.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're calling it, your calling is a is
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a Cowboys win tonight. You're you're on record, You're you're
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: calling it for the Cowboys.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: You know, what it would be fun to see Texans
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Twitter just absolutely melt down, because they they have been
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: melting down the last two weeks. Now, I'm not a texansater.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I like the team. I like c J. Stroud, I
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: like their talent. They're a fun, underrated team. I hope
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: their offense can get figured out here, and having having
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Niko back will help. Losing Digs out for the year
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: kind of sucks. I don't know if well Anderson's gonna
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: play the night which is I think they'll be okay.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I think Craig, you can play linebacker against Rush to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: night and and we'll be okay. Anderson is out for
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the day's game. So but seeing Twitter, but.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Nico being back, you know that that should help that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that should help the Texans offense.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And you know, Cowboys offense was already struggling with Dak
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: in the lineup. Now you take him out, I mean,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: who knows what's going to happen. I love this.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Todd Archer does a great job covering the Cowboys for ESPN,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and he says they're talking about how so many things
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: have conspired to derail this season for the Cowboys. He said,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: maybe the first sign of trouble came in training camp
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and ox start, a fire started, and players remember that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: there was the fire that happened In the three months
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: since the Cowboys season has deteriorated into a three and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: six record. They have a zero point two percent chance
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, according to ESPN.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So you're telling me there's a chance, boy.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So it's hey, the Rams were three and six last
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: year and they made the playoffs.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: They flipped it. How about every team in your division
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: at five and five other than the Cardinals are four
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: but only one game back.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It's still up in the air to see who's going
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to do that. Yes, the NFC worst, NFC West used
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to call the NFC East the NFC Leased.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: The NFC worst.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: The NFC West couldn't be any worse than That year,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks were the division chance with a seven and nine.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Record, but they still won a playoff game. They did.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: They went to New Orleans and won. After that, that's.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Where beast mode was born.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So here's a couple of things that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: have happened at the Cowboys, says Brandon Aubrey Mister week
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of schedule practice before the forty nine Ers game, when
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: he got picked.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: To serve on a jury duty for the Cowboys Best
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Player this year.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said he didn't think he would be picked
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: because of the celebrity status, but he was celebrity statue
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: wow as a kicker. In order to get his work
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in after he was done in the courtroom, Aubrey came
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to the Star around seven o'clock in the evening. On
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the first day, he was unable to kick indoors because
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: there was event going on inside Ford Center. On the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: second there was a high school football game is on Friday.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Aubrey hold of Brian Anger and longtime snapper Trent Sieg
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: as well as special teams coordinator John Fosso, had to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: work in almost complete darkness on the outdoor fields. They
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: did get some help from flood lights. So and it said,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and from the nineteen two hundred lights shining from volume.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: That's the sculpture hanging from the ceiling in the lobby
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: of the Star. And then the sprinkler started coming on afterwards.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: So he had that.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks de fellowing the infection that required a clean
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: out procedure just now starting to practice again. Then Jerry
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: got mad and threatened the job and the host on
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: one O five through the fan Trayvon Diggs gets into
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it with Mike Leslie Channel eight in Dallas. Ezekiel Elliott
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: inactive for disciplinary reasons, Dak Prescott suffers what has turned
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: out to be a season ending injury. Anyway, it goes
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: on and on and on. Oh yeah, sunlight too. Why
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: don't we just tear the whole place down?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So Micah's podcast and yeah, Cowboy players going at it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: You have that going on, just the constant talk, you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Micah with this comment about Mike McCarthy, you know, you
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: can do whatever he wants, you know, when asked about
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys need him to come back next season. It's
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: just been a complete show as it usually is. And
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I think that's, you know, designed by Jerry Jones and
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: this team. I really do. I'm not you know, I'm
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: not saying that. I don't think you saw all that
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: crazy stupid turmoils. Maybe not, but he wants the team
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to still be in the spotlight. Yeah, I mean, here
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: we are. It's it's week eleven. The Cowboys have no chance,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure there's still a topic on first take, right,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You're still talking about well as long as Stephen A.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Smith is.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there he's gonna be Yeah, he'll do his little charade,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he'll do all that. So anyway, so
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: it is Cowboys Texans tonight.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: There is Manning cast.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: There is Manning cast. I think that's what Linda's not
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: gonna do tonight. She really digs the Manning cast. So
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we'll probably we'll probably watch some of that tonight.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: It'll it'll be like a thirteen to three game. At halftime,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it'll be pretty ugly, and then I think the Texans
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: will pull away late. I'm you know, Shroud and Niko
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: are due for a sixty five yard touchdown bomb third quarter,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: there was a final big something like twenty to nine. Yeah,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: you know something something gross. Brendan Aubrey will definitely count
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: for more points than anyone else in the Cowboys, right
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that is. I don't if you can lock that in
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: on FanDuel or whatever, but that's something that I would
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: look at if you are a gambling man. I think
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: believe he was leading the league for a moment.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, it wouldn't be justin Tucker's been struggling, struggled.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: That's tough to watch, isn't it. Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And then and then let me tell you this, those
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of us who have Lamar Jackson our fantasy team, I've
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: lost my game yesterday because Lamar and Jackson stunk up
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the joint.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I get this. I'm in a two quarterback league.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So the other one was Matthew Stafford, and I almost
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: almost started, almost started uh Bo Nick's yesterday, but I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was gonna start him in case in place of Stafford,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: not Lamar Jackson.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I know he'd been won in three against the Steetherers,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: but I was like, he'll be good. No, Stafford had
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a big game, got me thirty three points. Nicks at
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: thirty three points would have played him. Oh no, No
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't, So I suffered for that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Mike Tomlin has a has a has
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson figured out he does, He's got his number
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: on that. You mentioned the kicking. It wasn't just Tucker,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: it was everybody. McPherson missed two field goals that helped
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: would have helped the Bengals win the game. Yeah, Tyler Bassin, Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: That's another thing that helped me. It didn't help me.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Missed an extra point.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: You know. Bears, of course had a field goal. Way,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: was there anyone in the world who thought the Bears
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: were going to win that game on the field gold.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I mean he came out and everybody, this is going
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: to get blocked or he's going to miss it wide
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: left or right now. Well, you there was a higher
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: chance of him not making that than making it. Because
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears are cursed.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: And Matt eberflews his complaining today. He says they should
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: have called a penalty. Oh what happened on that? Oh
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: was it legal? Jumping over the center time leaping thing?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Uh huh?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Said he should have done it, but it didn't so anyway,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: so it didn't happen. And I was in Chicago, Yesterdy
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: saw a ton of Packers and Bears fans walking to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the Soldier Field because when Trust Arena where the Texas
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: women played, that was that was pretty close to it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it didn't happen on that Bears not to
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: be all right.
• 8:38

• 8:41
