0:06
Welcome inside the Treehouse Football Podcast. Wait wait, wait wait, I didn't
0:10
say it properly the Treehouse Football Podcast. I'm really sure why I started saying
0:17
it that way, but I feel like I'm stuck and I'm just gonna keep
0:20
doing it. It just feels right, it's pleasant, it makes me,
0:25
it makes me chuckle every time. Oh, thank you, Raj h so
0:29
again, thank you for joining us inside the Treehouse Football Podcast. I'm danil
0:32
Malley along with Tree Trenholm and Raj Sharma. You know you do you do
0:37
football and Friday like that? Yeah? Yeah, we'll have to try the
0:42
F bomb. The Cowboys lost to Carolina, you would have heard it along
0:50
with all its other friends. Uh yeah, or maybe on the Plus show
0:56
we can just have a the appearance of the bomb. Yeah, because it's
1:03
the uncensored for the Patreon listeners, is the uncensored Treehouse. It is Treehouse
1:11
Uncensored inside the Treehouse Plus program, which you can subscribe to Patreon dot com
1:15

1:19
and of course the regular shows, the regular episode and of course the
1:23
Friday shows all wrapped into one tidy treehouse you like to keep things kind of
1:29
neat around here on occasion. But there was one f bomb this morning,
1:34
and that was when I woke up and I saw that. Unfortunately it's the
1:42
Philadelphia Eagles and everybody else because they managed to beat the Chiefs some Monday night
1:47
football in Kansas City, and I was really really hopeful that the Chiefs would
1:52
knock them down a notch, but instead it really does appear to be the
1:57
Eagles and the top slot and everyone else is kind of clamoring for a second.
2:01
Am I wrong? No, you're right. I I was at I
2:07
was having dinner at Whiskey Cake and watching the game and it was great.
2:12
I watched the first half and I was like, that's there. We go
2:14
got to the third quarter and I was like there. You know what all
2:16
they got to do is all the time management. You know, run the
2:20
ball, kill the clock, you know, a classic standard, drive it
2:23
into the ground, easy to do. And I went from Whiskey Cake to
2:30
what the f I went Whiskey Cake to And I came home and I turned
2:34
the TV and I was like, what what happened? I live eight minutes
2:38
away from Whiskey Cake. What is what happened? Raj is you went from
2:43
Whiskey cake to what Trey and I know as whiskey tango fox Trot. Yeah,
2:51
I was. And then it just they just kind of they had the
2:54
one possible moment, that one bit of hope when Valdez Scandling almost caught that
3:02
there was sixty yard pass or forty five yard pass something like that and it
3:07
was in his hands and you know, you gotta you know whatever it is
3:13
maybe slightly a bit maybe overthrown because he had to stretch out for it,
3:16
and then the weather conditions it was slick, and then after that they just
3:21
kind of melted down. And I was like, Okay, I'm good.
3:23
And I blamed this squarely on Taylor Swift. Oh interesting, she wasn't there.
3:30
No, not that, because during the bye week, our buddy and
3:36
romantic tight end, Travis Kelsey, flew to Buenos Aires to attend the Taylor
3:43
Swift concert and that's a thirteen hour flight each way, so I'm sure he
3:50
wasn't going coach though, So no, no, I'm not listen. I've
3:53
traveled coach, I've traveled first class, business class, and I have traveled
3:59
private. It's still tiring. It doesn't matter how it's still thirteen hours at
4:02
a time difference, and then spent the day with her and then the concert,
4:06
and then the next day and then flew out. So on their bye
4:11
week he spent three and a half days to almost four days traveling and attending
4:16
a concert. So I'm glad you brought this up, because when I saw
4:19
Travis Kelcey at the Swift concert in South America, I immediately thought of Tony
4:28
Romo, Jason Witten, and often forgotten that Bobby Carpenter was also there.
4:32
The bye week, or not the bye week, but the off week that
4:36
the Cowboys had because they had a first round by in the playoffs, and
4:43
they spent it in Mexico. They went to Cabo with their women, and
4:46
then they promptly lost in that divisional round and everyone blamed their lack of focus
4:51
and all that because they took a trip, and I wondered, is Travis
4:55
Kelcey going to face some of the same criticism as well. I mean,
5:00
again, it's not even criticism, it's just it's just what when you travel
5:03
like that, it's it is what it is. It is there. It's
5:06
like when going to India. I've done it on Emirates coach, and I've
5:12
done it in Emirates business Class and business class Emirates is just they might as
5:15
well just build you an apartment. Yeah, I've seen those on YouTube.
5:20
Yeah that's not fair. There there are apartments in New York smaller than those
5:26
seats. Yeah, yes, and there's a full bar and there's a DJ.
5:30
And I'm also pretty sure that coach on Emirates is still better than most
5:33
airlines Business class. Yes it is. It's wonderful. I mean, you
5:39
know the prospect of Jennifer Aniston popping out of the shower, Yeah, that
5:44
is true, and like they again they have the showers. And then there's
5:46
one I think there's one that goes in New York to Dubai that has a
5:49
three bedroom apartment in it that is like twenty nine or thirty thousand dollars each
5:55
leg per person. So I've done that. But it's still when you're going
6:00
to India, you get there, their time difference, Uh yeah, you've
6:05
slept and but you but you're sleeping on your schedule, so it doesn't.
6:10
Your contention, though, is that the travel must have played a role and
6:13
that's that's why the Chiefs lost. But there's not a lot of there's not
6:15
a lot of same basically same time zones and not that's not that big of
6:20
an issue. I mean, let me ask you a question, Yes,
6:24
what do you think is harder that? Or you know, if they he
6:27
and the boys took a three day trip to Vegas? Uh, the same,
6:30
You're just you're still, you're still. I mean, it has nothing
6:33
to do with it the concert. It's the it's the exhaustion from travel.
6:38
And then you're an elite player and you're coming back into an elite sport.
6:42
So you went from like, oh, fine, I'll just get I'll hop
6:44
on my private jet and I'll sleep the whole way. That's the thought,
6:46
I'll sleep the whole way. Doesn't It's funny that you think he's got a
6:48
private jet, you know damn well it was hers, Oh that's a yeah,
6:53
or or he rented or he borrowed Patrick's. Maybe maybe that was it.
6:58
So then my question would be what do you think was more tiring for
7:00
Travis Kelce the flight to and from South America or the sex with Taylor while
7:06
he was there? Uh? Yeah, both, And then you have the
7:11
air quality because she had to she had to miss a concert I believe,
7:14
or there's some there was a I think a fan something that got injured or
7:17
died or something like that, and they had to postpone one of them.
7:20
And then there's the air quality issues like she was on stage at one point
7:24
like she was having trouble breathing. And so you have the air quality,
7:27
you have the travel, you have, the the as much sex as you
7:30
can. Uh, and and then if you're trying to regain your strength.
7:33
I'm sure the food is great, but it's still you're eating internationally, so
7:39
you have to adjust to that. So you don't know what gastro intestinal issues
7:44
Travis Kelsey was facing UH and Mahomes in that press conference afterwards. Still looks
7:48
like he hasn't recovered from the flu, and I don't I'm serious. He
7:53
looked, he looked exhausted, and so I don't know where he went in
7:57
there bye week like that. Nobody don't. Nobody's covering him anymore, the
8:00
Kelsey Swift UH era now and nobody's covering him in old Britney. Mahomes like
8:05
there are we are we are we going through this whole thing just to rationalize
8:07
that the Eagles aren't as good as they actually are, I think. No,
8:13
I'm I'm just trying. I was just boggled my mind how they just
8:18
kind of fell apart and they looked they looked decent in the first half and
8:22
then got completely shut out in the second half. And that when That's why
8:26
I asked the question, is it the Eagles and everybody else? Try?
8:28
Yes, yeah, until and until someone can can show otherwise. I think
8:37
that is the case. Go ahead, try. I'm still I'm at the
8:41
beginning of the season. After the first two weeks, I think Eagles and
8:46
and the Dolphins maybe the two best teams. And I've still I'm not really
8:50
shying away from that because the Bills have are kind of a miss uh like
8:56
Bill's Chiefs and the Dolphins seem to be the three that one of them is
8:58
kind of comeing out of the A. But right now, like and I
9:01
after the Cowboys game on Sunday, I was sitting here thinking about this.
9:05
We're, you know, ten games in. I still don't know jecksh crap
9:11
about that team. I can't figure out if they're they're good or you know,
9:18
they're actually they can be really good, and they've just had some bad
9:20
games. I don't know. I know the Eagles look, for the most
9:24
part, look really good week in and week out. And I think what
9:26
you've done there, Trey, is you hit the nail on the head for
9:28
pretty much every team underneath the Eagles, because you have a number of teams
9:35
in that similar win category. Uel, You've got the that was a dog,
9:43
that's what That's what a fifteen sixteen year old dog sounds like when like
9:46
hack sneezes. Wow. It's also coincidentally what I sounded like after the Cowboys
9:52
lost to the Eagles Grandpa was visiting. You do have a few teams in
9:58
that same sort of vicinity wreck wise. You got the Cowboys, you got
10:01
the Seahawks, the Dolphins, like you mentioned, Trey's San Francisco obviously,
10:07
and I think a lot of those teams are still trying to figure out exactly
10:11
where they are. They know they're better than most everybody, but they're trying
10:15
to figure out, Okay, can we get better enough to where we could
10:20
actually do the whole thing? Yeah. I mean, it is not taking
10:28
anything away from Philadelphia. They look incredible and that comeback was amazing, and
10:33
they did exactly what I was trying to tell the Chiefs to do it is
10:35
like, just just just kill the clock. That's all you gotta do,
10:39
and they did an excellent job of that. But yeah, it is I
10:43
think you guys are I think Tray's hit it on the head. They're very
10:46
I think I don't know what it is, but what it appears to me
10:48
is like they psyche themselves out based on media hype. Right, so it's
10:52
like, can they beat the Eagles, can they beat the Niners? Is
10:56
this gonna be? Like is this gonna be a repeat of last year?
10:58
And then they get there with all the confidence that they've had from a previous
11:01
win or a bye week and everybody, so it's as healthy as they can
11:05
be. And then they come in they're like, I don't think we it's
11:07
just a look on their faces, like the start off like they're in an
11:11
uphill battle when they should just level the playing field and start from there.
11:16
At every game, and granted, I know that both outcomes were blowouts,
11:20
but I am somewhat optimistic at the beginning of the last two games against Carolina
11:28
and against the Giants. It's not like the Cowboys took that opening kickoff at
11:33
that opening series and March right down the field and got a touchdown. Both
11:37
were not successful, right right, and they didn't let that get to them.
11:41
And sometimes I feel like that does like if they don't get out to
11:46
a quick start, then they seem to have that deer in headlights looked on
11:50
their faces. Yeah, I don't know if we can do this today.
11:54
It's like, my god, you're gonna have at least, you know,
11:56
like ten more possessions in this game. That one didn't work, go figure
12:00
it out for the next one. And that was if you're going back to
12:03
last week, that kind of fragile psyche is why that on that first drive
12:07
going for it on fourth and goal. I was like, just take the
12:09
points because you don't know how that's gonna affect that team. You're right,
12:15
maybe that's what it is. Maybe maybe, uh, maybe McCarthy needs to
12:20
treat these grown men, professional athletes more like the little giants and and realize
12:26
that if they don't do well in that opening uh series, they can get
12:31
you know, kind of tanter me, not like you know, angry tantamy,
12:35
but just like sad and and wanting their their their bankies and things because
12:39
things didn't go exactly as they wanted to, and they don't really seem to
12:43
know how to respond. And I think that's the problem. I I think
12:48
we need angry tanter me, not you know, give me your binkie in
12:50
a bottle. Yeah, that's the fists pounding in the zone. Ye,
12:54
yes, that's uh, that's the thing that I was talking about. The
12:58
I don't know what when they say, you know, he's got it whatever
13:01
it is like Aikman had that I have. I never saw it in Romo.
13:07
I never saw him with that it factor. I think Dak does.
13:09
But he's like they're all his buddies and he doesn't want to yell at his
13:13
buddies. It's a very it's a very gen z millennial whatever you want to
13:16
call it, where it's like I don't want to yell at you, man,
13:18
but please do your job and be greatly appreciated. Like that's the kind
13:22
of stuff that comes across. It's like it's like, oh, instead,
13:24
it's it's a passive aggressively liking other wide receivers catching balls in the end zone.
13:31
Yes, that's that's what it is. Like, Hey man, it's
13:33
no, it's nothing against you. It's just you know, I got to
13:35
give him a chance too, and you're like, come on, guys,
13:37
let's we're all athletes, we're all making millions of dollars. Let's stop.
13:39
But it is that deer in the headlights. Look. I was trying to
13:41
figure out what it is. But it's like they get like they get lost,
13:45
and it's even in Dak's eyes, Like I want to see that.
13:48
I want to see like what I can which game it was, but Aikman
13:52
was not happy. And I don't know if he just didn't get enough to
13:54
drink during halftime or whatever it was, but he threw his helmet. I
14:00
remember one time, threw his helmet across the bench, uh and started yelling
14:03
at the offensive line and I was like, hey man, that's awesome,
14:07
but they're way out numbered and they're way btter than you. And then he
14:13
knew how to lit a light of fire. And I haven't seen anybody since
14:16
then. Yes, now now in his defense, and this is something you
14:22
always have to remember, yeah, is and in a lot of his years,
14:26
Aikman really this that was pre salary cap and if Egman really wanted to,
14:30
if he really had a problem with somebody, he could go to Jimmy
14:31
and say cut him and they would cut him. Yeah, absolutely so.
14:35
Yeah, but he still had that like it. He still had the thing
14:39
when he could go as the last quarterback. I've seen really have that where
14:43
you know, absolutely irate showing you know, his lineman's ass too, and
14:48
everyone's ass. You just don't see that that much anymore, I mean really,
14:52
And maybe it is generational, yeah, because it is the difference of
14:58
we were all brought up like you know, kind of you learn from failure
15:01
and it makes you want to not do it again, and everyone else after
15:05
us is like, oh, it's okay. You know. Yeah, I
15:09
joke. I joke about it all the time when I do the when I
15:13
talk about the playing you know, on stage, when I talk about playing
15:15
football. I was like, you know, like this generation, like you
15:16
know who told me I sucked? My coach who told me I was terrible?
15:20
And I was like, if that guy, I'm gonna I'm gonna go
15:24
back into Jim's mor and work harder. Yeah, that's what it was.
15:26
It was a big fu uh And I don't see that. It's like Tony
15:30
Rome was the aw shucks thing, like whenever he throw an interception, like,
15:33
oh darn, I'll get it next time. I'm like, what are
15:35
you doing, dude? Like what they're paying you millions of dollars? Uh,
15:39
what are you doing? And it's kind of a weird combination too,
15:45
that is Dak where he doesn't he's got the he's got the drive and he's
15:48
got the intensity, but he can't like he can't get that to his teammates.
15:52
Sometimes. I think Romo was different in that Romo had that mental attitude
15:58
of like, if rom whoever started really taking it seriously when he threw an
16:02
interception that I think he would have fallen apart. I think that was that
16:03
more that Brett Favre gunslinger attitude of you know what you're gonna miss, you
16:10
know some of the shots you take, but we're gonna still, you know,
16:11
keep taking them. I mean, you look at his quarterback rating and
16:15
it was one of the best in the NFL of all time. I mean
16:17
there's no doubt. But he just didn't he couldn't get to the he couldn't
16:21
get to the dance. And that's the thing. It wasn't like it was
16:23
a well, you know, we did our best of the season. We
16:26
looked good, the team, the team, Romo, I think could have
16:30
like was that year he got injured and Dak took over. That was the
16:33
team that I think if he ever had if he had ever had a chance
16:37
to make it, that was the team. I feel like if for for
16:40
Romo Cowboys seasons, there were three that really really should have gone differently.
16:48
One is where he broke his back in Seattle and uh Dak was like fourth
16:52
string at the time, third or fourth string because and then he gets the
16:56
opportunity and it never gets back to Romo. That's one, because you're right,
17:00
that team was built. This is this is Romo's last ride. The
17:03
one before that, I believe it's a twenty fourteen season, the des caught
17:07
It game. Everyone remembers that game because it's does caught it? Dos caught
17:11
it? Does caught it. Had DeMarco Murray not fumbled it earlier in the
17:17
game, he would still be running in Green Bay. He would have taken
17:21
that possibly to the house, and it would have been a different game.
17:23
Even if he just doesn't fumble and gets tackled five yards later, it's a
17:26
different game. And then the one before that, the Giants divisional round loss,
17:32
when it's it's Patrick Crayton drops the pass from Romo that would have been
17:37
a first down and instead he drops the pass incomplete, Giants get the ball
17:41
back. Game over. Yeah, those those are three things, and that's
17:45
and it's obviously way off, you know from us talking about is it you
17:48
know, the Eagles and everybody else. Well, we've kind of answered that,
17:51
yes it is, and then we're back to wondering can the Cowboys this
17:56
is what in essence, what we've been discussing the last ten minutes. Can
18:00
the Cowboys make that leap to get to that threshold where the Eagles are?
18:07
And honestly, we're going to find out in just a couple of more weeks
18:10
because you know, they got to come to Arlington. I think that this
18:15
week, the Thanksgiving game actually may provide some you know, clarity because Detroit
18:21
is not a bad team. No, they're good, right, and which
18:26
makes me glad I'm not playing them because we're playing Washington, that's right.
18:30
Yea, we have Detroit in December, which could be bad enough. Yeah,
18:37
might not think, but yeah, I mean when you talk about just
18:40
dynamic players like you you know, Dak is great, but Ceedee Lamb is
18:45
dynamic. Uh, you know, turping every time there's a kick return.
18:52
I'm looking at him like, is this the one that goes to the house?
18:53
Like he's a dynamic player. And I just wish they had more moments
18:57
of that where they can show other people on that team that are that are
19:04
superstars that can bring that could elevate the game to where it needs to go.
19:07
I would love to just like what what what Trey was saying is like
19:11
I can't figure it out. Sometimes one person does and three in the next
19:14
game, three people do, or four people or five people. You know
19:17
what we need? Yeah, I realized what the Cowboys need. They just
19:21
need what you're saying, Raj, Like Aikman had that edge that it that
19:23
he could, you know, you know, motivate his guys to another level.
19:30
That's what the Cowboys seem to need because we haven't seen it from anybody,
19:33
right, we don't see someone really getting in that ass. And what
19:41
they need is someone to scream at them and and threaten them and to make
19:48
them feel like their jobs and their lives are on the line. I nominate
19:52
Trade Trenholme that he could do it. And here's the thing you can put
20:03
that. You can put that play sheet in front of your mouth all day
20:07
and everyone's everyone's still gonna hear it, and everyone's gonna feel it. You're
20:14
just gonna see the vein in his head stick out. The players on the
20:17
other side of the field, they're thinking, Man, I'm glad we're over
20:18
here. Why is he saying punt so much? You know that's that's not
20:30
what he's saying. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse
20:48
on Air dot com. Why is he calling them the punt team on third
20:51
down? You're in the tree House. Visit us online at Treehouseonair dot com.
21:10
Welcome back to the Treehouse Football Podcast. So now that we know it's
21:15
the Eagles and everybody else, the question mark is still are the Cowboys good
21:22
or not? Which is not a new question. That's something we ask every
21:26
stinking year and have for thirty years. And this is another one of those
21:30
seasons where we're not going to find out until the playoffs at this point,
21:34
assuming they're making it, and we'll see what happens. But if history has
21:40
taught us anything it's that they'll cough it up, either in the wild card
21:44
or definitely the divisional round. But we'll see. Maybe this year will be
21:48
different. It's clearly the definition of insanity. But don't know what it is
21:53
to be a Cowboys fan. All that being said, now Cowboys are in
22:00
it. They're in that Thanksgiving gauntlet. They come off the win in Carolina.
22:06
While impressive, it's still against at the time a one in eight Carolina
22:11
team against a rookie quarterback. So what is what it is. We'll take
22:15
the win, We'll take it with some style points and go into this week
22:18
a divisional matchup against Washington, and Washington sort of in that tier just below
22:25
the Cowboys record wise, although I think emotionally they're in an even more sensitive
22:30
state than they were a week ago because they just lost to the Giants.
22:34
Yeah, that was that was an interesting like I couldn't. I was actually
22:41
in San Marcus. What. I was watching the game with a buddy of
22:45
mine and his girl is a Washington I saw a Giants fan and I was
22:52
like, and she was. She was trying to tell me she was wearing
22:53
Cowboy blue and I'm like, that's not that's that's not the same blue.
22:57
And she's like, I just want to tell you I'm from New York.
23:00
I was like, okay, Giants fan, and she kept checking the score
23:04
and she was laughing. I was like, what's going on. She's like,
23:07
we're beating the Commanders. And I was like, oh, you're not
23:12
stop it silly with Danny DeVito or Derek Davito or whatever whoever it is this
23:22
week, Derek whatever his name is, I don't know if his mom dropped
23:26
him off in time for the game. I don't know what's going on.
23:30
And then she was very you know, She's like, well, let's get
23:33
another round of beers. I was like, oh, okay. And then
23:37
turns out they win with this guy, and I'm like, all right,
23:41
man, good And here's the only thing I could think. It's like,
23:44
good for that kid. He's gonna have so much to talk to his parents
23:48
on the way home. Here's the thing that was actually a road game.
23:51
So what that what I what I think happens there is Tommy DeVito uh not
23:56
only gets driven to the airport by by his parents by mom, but then
24:00
I'm assuming they have to check him in with the the gate agents as part
24:06
of the minor traveling alone program. He's got this little name Plattern around.
24:11
It's gonna a little tour of the cockpit. He's gonna get the little little
24:17
souvenir wings because the pilot let him sit on his lap and asked him if
24:21
he like Gladiator movies and then gave him an extra bag of nuts, and
24:26
then finished the trip to Washington where they he looked actually pretty darn good and
24:32
beat up on the commanders and then gets put back on the plane with the
24:36
minor traveling alone assistance. Yeah, and maybe he gets ice cream on the
24:41
way home after mom and Dad picked him up from the airport. You know,
24:47
I mean, you can still mamie. Mom and Dad rode with him
24:48
on the train from New York to DC. You can still do that.
24:52
And maybe they went sightseeing. They they went and saw the White Actually know,
24:56
I know the backstory. I actually know the whole story on that.
25:00
He was not able to go sightseeing with the rest of the team because his
25:03
parents didn't fill out the permissions. They just left him. He's too young
25:15
to understand anything anyway, So it's okay, poor fellow, But he won
25:19
a game. It's so good he did win a game. So again,
25:22
now we get back to Washington feeling extra low because they got whipped up on
25:27
by a minor traveling alone quarterbacking the Giants, and now they got to go
25:33
on the road to Arlington on Thanksgiving and face the Cowboys who are coming off
25:40
of how much I've off the top of my head of brain farted now how
25:44
many points they've scored in like the last three weeks. But I mean it
25:47
was what forty the week before you got thirty three three? So I mean
25:51
one hundred points in the last couple of weeks. Yeah, yeah, I
25:56
mean it's gonna be you know again, I'll pre it's gonna be a blowout
26:00
again. It's just is they they lost to the Giants, and they were
26:04
coming in with that energy and we one hundred points in the last three weeks,
26:08
that that kind of energy, and I think that makes a world of
26:11
difference. And you're going into now you're going into like what Trey was saying,
26:15
like, now we have to figure out do we how do we look
26:19
going into this these last few uh, these last you know, several games,
26:25
and what team are we now? And so I think that's what this
26:29
this game is, Like Tray was saying, this game is what we'll see
26:30
and go, oh, okay, yes they can do it, and they
26:33
can they can take on the Eagles when they come home, when they come
26:37
to Arlington or or not or and you can kind of go, you know
26:41
what, it's it was a good season. You know, we can see
26:42
what they're going to kind of do. But I I think it's gonna be
26:45
a blowout for this one. So it's gonna be fun to watch. It's
26:51
gonna definitely taste better on a on a Cowboys victory Thanksgiving. It does,
26:56
it does. And I got mine for a dollar, so my the dollar
27:00
turkey is gonna taste as an Indian. Uh, it's gonna be even great.
27:03
That's the best Cowboys and Indians Thanksgiving ever. Uh because my dollar turkey's
27:11
gonna taste like a million bucks when they win. So it's gonna be It's
27:15
gonna be nice. It does make you wonder though, like the kids that
27:15
are you know, like halftime football, are they you know, are they
27:19
still They're probably not doing Cowboys and Indians anymore because it's not PC, but
27:23
are they actually going on? But it's Cowboys versus commanders? What is a
27:29
commander? Like? I don't understand, like what is your mask? My
27:32
problem is when they renamed themselves the commanders, I was knee deep in watching
27:36
Handmaid's Tales, So that was really a poor choice of mask. Yeah,
27:45
nobody filled them in on that one. Okay, yeah, I just uh,
27:49
I don't even know what they're What is it? Who's there? What
27:52
is their mascot? I don't even know what that is. It's a commander?
27:56
Do we know what it is? Honestly, does anybody know what they're
28:00
that Scott his I think it's a guy. His name is Steve Commander where
28:08
we laugh? But it may actually be something I'm not sure. I'm not
28:14
I'm not. I am not up to date on NFL mascots. I will
28:17
freely admit that. Yeah, I mean like you got lions, we get
28:22
it right, Seahawks, okay, you're a bird. Falcons commanders like I
28:26
can't figure out it's like that, like the Guardians, like, I think
28:30
that's named after a bridge. Actually, I was putting too much thought into
28:37
it. They really didn't do much of a a new mascot other than they
28:41
The commander's new mascot is Major Tuddy the Hog. Major Tuddy the Hog little
28:52
hat tip to the old hog offensive lineman back in the day for the Washington
28:56
Redskins. Gotcha okay, uh, all right, the major Tuddy the hog.
29:02
All right, does that mean he has a hat? He does?
29:06
He has headwear and there you go. He has headwear worn by actual military
29:12
commanders. They went, they went extra far to be PC, They went
29:23
the farthest you could. He needs a hat. Thank you for your service.
29:30
I'm gonna put it on a pig. This is all funny now,
29:40
but if the Cowboys lose to them on Thanksgiving, I'm gonna everywhere all over.
29:45
It's going to be Thanksgiving all over the walls. Yeah. I will
29:49
never eat Thanksgiving again. No, actually, you know what I will.
29:53
The difference is, though, I will be switching out pig for the turkey.
30:00
It's a Thanksgiving pat on his head because it's got to be official.
30:15
All right. I don't know about you guys, but I feel like my
30:18
pregame is ready and concluded and I am now ready for Cowboys commanders. Take
