Football #2: Cowboys vs Jets & Baylor Sucks

WEBVTT

1
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:17.839
Welcome to the Treehouse Football Podcast.
I'm Danilmaley along with Trey Trenholm and Raj

2
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:27.120
Sharma. You can always catch the
regular version of the Treehouse Podcast the same

3
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.079
places that you're getting the Treehouse Football
Podcast. But if you found this one

4
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.640
first, welcome, and you want
to find the regular Treehouse Podcast, where

5
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.759
we talk about a bunch of other
just just a name stupidity outside of sports

6
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.240
stupidity, you can find us there. Otherwise, if you're from the regular

7
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.840
Treehouse and you found yourself in the
football podcast, welcome, because now we're

8
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:52.799
going to talk sports stupidly in our
own special wave. So let's not let's

9
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:58.079
not waste any time. Cowboys Week
two, Yeah, are now two and

10
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:04.599
oh against the State of New York. Yeah, that's uh. And they

11
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.640
look, man, do they look? I was when when they when they

12
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.280
let go of Kellen Moore, who
I last season, was like, I

13
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:17.560
can't believe they canna do that.
He's the brains behind the play calling us.

14
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.680
He's young, and he's he's got
ideas and he's got a new way

15
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.840
of looking at things. And now
I'm like, that was a good move

16
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.519
because you put it back in the
hands of Mike McCarthy, and you got

17
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.200
Dan Quinn doing his magic and they
look really not I hope I don't jinx

18
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.280
it, but they look really good, uh do? And I give yourself

19
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.879
that amount of power to Jinks the
most successful sports franchise on the planet.

20
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.200
They will do that on their own
at some point, as we all know

21
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.280
as lifelong Dallas Cowboys fans, they
will find a way to disappoint us.

22
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.840
We cannot do anything to Jinks them
that they will not do themselves first.

23
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.480
So don't don't listen to anyone ever
gives themselves that power to be able to

24
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:08.599
derail a train that was all writing
on one wheel anyway. Yeah, because

25
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:14.879
that being said, for the last
pushing thirty years since the Cowboys have won

26
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:19.319
a Super Bowl, Yeah, the
Cowboys train has been on one side,

27
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.439
right, It's just a matter of
it's gonna tip over. Yeah, But

28
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.680
for thirty years it has not gotten
fully back on track. But this year

29
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.879
is starting out how a handful of
other years have in the past thirty years

30
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.400
since the Cowboys won a Super Bowl, Which is, they're on that one

31
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.439
side of the track, But it
looks like they're leaning towards getting fully back

32
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.520
on track and headed towards a super
Bowl. But again, we're this is

33
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.199
sort of like you know, Charlie
Brown and the football. We're used to

34
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.560
it being pulled out from underneath this
somewhere in the divisional round of the playoffs.

35
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.879
So we're cautiously optimistic. Yeah,
I mean, I again, if

36
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:04.080
they can, if they can maintain
like if everybody stays healthy, and and

37
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.560
I love everybody's and I'm just watching
Sports Center. I just love everybody's idea

38
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:14.439
of played towards Michael Parsons. I'm
like, please, do played towards it.

39
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.000
Run the balls. You're just running
his direction. I'm like, that

40
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.879
sounds great. You guys keep you
know what real quick just and and I

41
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.199
don't. I don't want to get
into the nuts and bolts on that strategy

42
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.280
too much. But I will say
this, so far in Michael Parson's career,

43
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.360
he has shown you not to run
away from him because he will run

44
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.120
you down like a lion. So
you know what, run at him,

45
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.639
give it a shot. It's it's
it's it's better than doing the same thing

46
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.240
and not being successful. And I
think that's what if you're watching Sports Center

47
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.280
in the early in the morning,
I think that's uh, I can't remember

48
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.520
his name as young kid. He's
like, I think that's his philosophy.

49
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.400
He's like, hey, how could
it hurt? The other stuff's not working

50
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.360
at that point. It's the definition
of insanity. So the other option,

51
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.319
the other option is to hire a
literal big game hunter to come to the

52
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:06.719
stadium and shoot Micah I'm a lion
Parsons dead on the field before the game

53
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.759
starts. That's your only other option, Trey, No, it's just I

54
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.960
mean, at a certain point,
element of surprise, everyone goes away from

55
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.519
Micah so c see something coming at
him, he might just for a split

56
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.120
second go what the hell long enough
for blocked. A bit later that,

57
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.800
you know, maybe he might go
from I'm a lion to deer in the

58
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:31.319
headlights. Switch will work probably for
one play. If it works, it

59
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.360
might work for one play after that. Now he's gonna be ready for it,

60
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.839
and he's gonna be standing there with
his jaws open, just ready to

61
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.879
eat whatever comes at him. Well, yeah, yeah, go ahead.

62
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.040
No, he's also if you get
that one play off with him, yeah,

63
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:53.240
he's gonna be pissed. You got
a whole other problem. Oh no,

64
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.319
you're right, like he already plays. He already plays with a chip

65
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.800
on his shoulder and every other joint. So do you really wants a great

66
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.680
point trade? That's a great point
trade. Do you really want to piss

67
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.759
him off even more? Yeah?
I would just love to hear that on

68
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.439
the opposing team sideline, like,
hey, I think we made him mad.

69
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.360
Just imagine, just imagine the team
that decides to run at Michael Parsons

70
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.480
one time, just to try that
theory, right, yeah, and then

71
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:24.560
he devours that team that offense for
the rest of the game based on that

72
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:29.480
one play. Now, imagine you're
a player on the offensive side of the

73
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.240
ball in the next week's opponent for
the Cowboys, and and the game plan

74
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:40.480
up on the screen that the coach
puts up is we're hang on, I

75
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.600
lost my train of thought. But
the game plan is just nothing with Michael

76
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.680
Parsons. Yeah, I just I
just want to I just want to be

77
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.920
in that coach's huddle when they're like, hey, so whose idea was this?

78
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.199
Who decided to do this? Can
we call a time out? We're

79
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.079
in the locker room. No,
we can't call it time out. He's

80
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.040
coming for us now, and he's
angry. Let send him flowers like I

81
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.279
don't, I don't know what you
would do at that point, like to

82
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.560
me, like I said, he
like you were saying, he plays with

83
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.720
like I think he plays angry like
like that's what it like. He plays

84
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.360
like they've they've offended him by by
showing up in his house like that.

85
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:21.240
That's that's how we played And if
every if everybody can get on board with

86
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:27.519
doing that. I was going to
ask this, and only because I come

87
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.120
from the the underdog big billy,
and I talked about this when I did

88
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.480
the radio the other day. Is
my my first season of high school football.

89
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:43.600
Not to brag, I played nine
seconds and uh no, it was

90
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.839
glorious because I also got illegal motion, uh in nine seconds and I was

91
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.160
pulled off the field. So in
nine seconds, I was removed from the

92
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.160
field with a penalty. Uh so. So so far, this story has

93
00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:01.959
lasted longer than your football playing days. When it comes to the Jets quarterback

94
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:08.279
Wilson, is is it fair?
Okay? Is they're calling him the worst

95
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.800
quarterback in the NFL. That's statistically
he is right, But then when he

96
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.879
has the offensive line doing what they're
doing, he's the second best quarterback in

97
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.480
the NFL as a week two when
he has the opportunities that a quarterback would

98
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:26.600
would normally have if it were Aaron
Rodgers. Uh taking the snaps? Is

99
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.560
that is I don't know how this
works as far as I mean, you

100
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.839
you played played high school football and
in trade you will understand this as well.

101
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.399
You guys played. Is that a
fair assessment to make? Like he's

102
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.639
not His whole thing was I'm not
going to be the guy, and now

103
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.079
he is the guy and he's not
the guy, and everybody's like, well,

104
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.240
he's not the guy. He's like
I've been telling you I'm not him.

105
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:54.560
So is it? Is it a
fair assessment to make for a player

106
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.600
that isn't living up to the expectations
of an Aaron Rodgers? You know,

107
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.480
you see the point I'm trying to
make, Like, I don't know why

108
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.639
everybody's coming after the guy when he's
already kind of gone. Yeah, I

109
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.800
told you guys, I'm not the
guy. I'm not. I'm not sure

110
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.120
I'll let you take the first swing
at this. I mean, you have

111
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.720
two years of him playing that shows
you he's not the guy he is.

112
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.000
In my opinion, A bust is
a first dround pick, but maybe a

113
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.000
serviceable backup. And that's kind of
where he is now. I mean,

114
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:30.800
he's better than most backups. But
my theory, go ahead, Tray,

115
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:31.960
is he going to take you to
the promised Land? I don't think so.

116
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.759
I always so I look at that
what you just said, Trey.

117
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.399
One point is if if you can
have just a serviceable quarterback take you two

118
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.679
and win a Super Bowl, then
that's then then it works. It doesn't

119
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:54.519
matter whatever your pedigree is or was
where you were drafted. Whereas if you're

120
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.480
a top pick like Zach Wilson was. Believe he was number two in the

121
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.480
in the draft after the Jets took
a lot of things still have to fall

122
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.639
into place for all that to work
out. There's a lot of luck involved.

123
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.440
There's a reason why Eli Manning and
the Manning family did not want him

124
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.320
going to San Diego and instead we're
happy to send him to the Jets.

125
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.960
And they manipulated that whole situation because
they said to San Diego, we're not

126
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.120
going to you do not pick us. Well, so he ends up in

127
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.200
New York and he ends up winning
a pair of Super Bowls, Whereas if

128
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.879
he goes to San Diego, who
knows. And then other teams where they've

129
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.039
had really talented quarterbacks, sometimes they
get drafted into just horrible situations. Bad

130
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:41.120
coach, bad GM, bad franchise. Look at any quarterback that the Redskin

131
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.600
Slash Commanders have taken in the last
fifteen years. We'll tell you what I'm

132
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.559
talking about, which is, sometimes
you just get drafted into a bad situation.

133
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.200
Doesn't mean you are a bad player. It just means if you were

134
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.360
drafted into a good position, like
say a Troy Aikman when he was taken

135
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.000
number one by the Cowboys, phenomenal
situation to be in and it worked out

136
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.799
great. Well. If there was
ever anyone who knows the perils of getting

137
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.480
drafted to a bad team, it
was Archie Manning. I mean, he

138
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:13.320
suffered through like the horrible days of
New Orleans. Yeah. But you know,

139
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.200
if you're talking about serviceable, if
you have the team around them,

140
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:22.759
which you know, the team that
comes to mind of serviceable quarterback winning a

141
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.120
Super Bowl as the Baltimore Ravens,
Yep, that's exactly what I hadn't in

142
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.320
my mind. I could see his
face both I mean, and it's both

143
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.000
Dilferan and Flacco, I mean Flacco
was I mean, but like he won

144
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.559
the Super Bowl, got a big
contract, and I think he died on

145
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:46.120
the Jets. Speaking of which,
I'd like to revisit that week to win

146
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.480
Cowboys over Jets. It was seemingly
a really bad week for the Jets.

147
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.960
You lose Aaron Rodgers and his achilles
on on Monday night, did that,

148
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.000
and then you get your ass?
What how did that not get the slow

149
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.080
clap? It was a seemingly bad
week for the Jets, Like because I'm

150
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.200
not done setting it all up Roger
joke. Yeah, so I don't think

151
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.879
it was seemingly or maybe it was
whatever, it was a bad week for

152
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.519
the Jets. You had Aaron Rodgers
on Monday night snap his achilles in front

153
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.759
of everybody. Then not even a
week later, they get their ass whipped

154
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:24.399
in Texas by the Cowboys thirty to
ten. And then the military lost an

155
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.320
actual jet which made everything really really
bad for Jets all around. Yeah,

156
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.039
they didn't lose the pilot though,
so that's a good thing. No,

157
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.000
No, the pilot is safe.
The pilot I think is in better shape

158
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.360
than Aaron Rodgers achilles and is also
in better shape career wise than Zach Wilson.

159
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.679
Yes, I'd also like to point
out that the Cowboys defense in two

160
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.399
weeks, Granted it's only two weeks
and this will change, but for two

161
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:54.639
weeks, the Dallas Cowboys defense has
scored the same number of touchdowns as its

162
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:03.240
opposing offensive have sex if you want
to be technical, Yeah, it's uh,

163
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.240
and it's nice to see. I
think I think he was out of

164
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.360
rhythm the first week, but I
think he's got his his swag back,

165
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:18.000
as seeing Treyvon Diggs getting getting I
think he got a second half, well

166
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.000
he got a pick on second half, and I know they don't throw to

167
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.639
to his side a lot, but
it was nice to see because we would

168
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.200
last year like it was just you
just automatically assumed he was going to get

169
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.159
two to three, uh, if
he was on fire, two to three

170
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:41.600
maybe per game, but at least
two picks and it was not because I

171
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:48.720
don't think he got one week one
and yeah, which I just you're talking

172
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.799
about that in the Cowboys defense.
It reminds me of turnovers going back to

173
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.720
how we started this, of running
at Micah Parsons and that strip that he

174
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.480
made, you know that, Yeah, you're all close to a touchdown and

175
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.840
like you want to run it.
That guy like that is you have you.

176
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.960
This brings me back to one of
my favorite sports moments of all time.

177
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.919
Daniel appreciate this rage. I don't
know because we never talked about it,

178
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.759
but the kind of element of surprise
you need to run it, Michael

179
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.840
Parsons is the same when they let
Benji Malina steal second base in that playoff

180
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.240
game. The catcher was so shocked
he couldn't even get the throw off in

181
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.480
time. That Yeah, that was
right there what you call an oh shit

182
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:41.039
moment because the catcher see slow ass
Benja Malina running towards the next base,

183
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:45.480
and I'm sure the catch is like, wait am I. He's wondering,

184
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:50.759
am I still coming down off the
shrooms I had last night or whatever?

185
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.799
Because that I can't be that.
That doesn't happen. No, that's not

186
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:56.200
it. Oh And then the next
thing, you know, the entire dugouts

187
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.960
yelling at him that it's happening,
so, oh, what's happening? Oh

188
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.000
I can't and then eat slow as
he is, he's standing on top of

189
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.720
the back. I don't think that
was the technical term is stripping the ball.

190
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.080
I think he was just like,
give that to me, like that's

191
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:15.080
the that's that's that's if you watch
the replay of of Michael Parsons taking the

192
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.000
ball, he was just like,
that's not yours, like that, that's

193
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.120
that's how we looked at it,
like that's my ball, like and he

194
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.000
and he just he took that from
a grown man, like do we unders

195
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.120
Like when I watched this stuff,
like I watched it from a different perspective,

196
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:30.919
I'm like, that's a grown man
that just snapped that. He just

197
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.840
no, this is what he said, is like give give me that.

198
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.159
Also, when it comes to I
always forget their age. I forget how

199
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.399
young of a team that the Jets
are and how seasoned the Cowboys are.

200
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.279
If that is that we do want
to say old, right, they're older

201
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.840
players, Uh, they're not older
season, but you're also dealing with a

202
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.960
younger team. So I don't know. I thought they played really well.

203
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.879
They look good. I was wrong
in my assumption that Kelvin Moore was the

204
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:09.720
brains of the operation like I thought
he was last year, and dan Quinn's

205
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.320
magic that that was my That's that's
my assessment of Week two so far.

206
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.480
So I mean week week six,
I could be having like dan Quinn sucks

207
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:22.399
like I don't know, but hey, everything seems to be working really well.

208
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.240
I can't figure out why. Like
I know, dan Quinn was mentioned

209
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.200
with some head coaching jobs. Why
I'm shocked that he didn't get one because

210
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.279
I think it's because I don't think
it's because a lack of desire on his

211
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:41.600
part. I think it's because he
has a sense of seeing this through.

212
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.279
I think he I think he realizes
that this team is really, really,

213
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:52.080
really on the precipice of of of
true success. Yeah, and I think

214
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:58.240
he's connected enough to some of these
players, like a Micah Parsons, that

215
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.240
he really wants to be a part
of something special like that and then go

216
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.600
get another head coaching job. Like. I think this will be dan Quinn's

217
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:12.440
last season as defensive coordinator for the
cow unless unless something really just falls out

218
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.080
and the train ends up in a
ditch like we've seen previous seasons happen.

219
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:22.840
I think if if they if they
have success beyond the divisional round of the

220
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.679
playoffs this year, I think dan
Quinn will take a head coaching job next

221
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.200
year. Wow. Okay, Well, because Dan dan Quinn signing in the

222
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.399
first place was huge for the Cowboys. We didn't really we weren't really sure

223
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.200
of it at the time, but
then when they resigned him, that was

224
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.159
one of their most important offseason acquisitions. Yeah, or dan Quinn, you

225
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.919
know, he may have figured out
that being the coordinator is a much easier

226
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:51.000
gig. He can demand a high
you know, probably be the highest coordinator

227
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.200
salary, but without having all the
crap that a head coach. Because I

228
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.200
mean he got his That's what I
was saying. Yeah, that's what That's

229
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.000
the angle I would have taken,
is exactly that, Like, why wouldn't

230
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:06.440
you just get a higher paying defensive
coordinator job instead of going for because then

231
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:11.400
everything then the whole team rests on
your shoulders as opposed to just one side

232
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:17.440
of the ball. You know,
I don't know. I don't know if

233
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.920
the mindset that it takes to be
the head like I don't have that in

234
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:23.599
Like, I don't think I could
do that. I don't think I could

235
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:29.839
have all that weight on my shoulders
every single week. It's like the same

236
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.000
thing like with being a pilot,
Like I don't know if I could do

237
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:34.640
that and have all these people counting
on me. I'm like, can I

238
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.440
just be over here and I'll just
do the defense. I'd rather take that

239
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.480
responsibility. Like and if we're looking
at it, and I don't think dan

240
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.839
Quinn looks at it this way,
but if you wanted to have this perspective,

241
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.559
you you could, you could assign
it. Which is dan Quinn's got

242
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:53.720
a great gig because the only the
only real game plan he would really have

243
00:17:53.839 --> 00:18:00.720
to do is to go to Micah
Parsons before each game and whisper what he

244
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:06.160
says the other team said about him
on the other side of the field before

245
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.599
kickoff, and then and then you
just step back and you go to the

246
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.599
safest place in the building, which
is up in that booth, far away

247
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:22.240
from the carnage that Michael Parsons is
about to do. Yeah, that's yeah.

248
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:25.400
He just basically his entire game plan
could be all right, I'm gonna

249
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.240
go down to the field, I'm
gonna grab this little wind up stick on

250
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.680
the back of Michael Parsons. I'm
gonna wind it all the way up and

251
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:37.039
then I'm gonna run away. Or
he may just be biding his time thinking

252
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.039
that McCarthy's gonna get fired and he
goes down before the game. It just

253
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:42.440
gives him some solid play calling.
Hey, run more of those two yard

254
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:48.000
outs. And that's the other strategy
that I also think makes a lot of

255
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:52.400
sense, which is basically what Jason
Garrett did for a while. He could

256
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.839
have gone off and got a head
coaching job somewhere else, but he didn't

257
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:02.240
because he knew he knew way Philip
days were numbered and he was going to

258
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.200
be the head coach of the Cowboys. And I think that actually is a

259
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.519
great strategy in mind if you're Dan
Quinn, which is look, Mike McCarthy's

260
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.960
great. If we went ahead,
if we went a foot jesus, if

261
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.079
we win a football Bowl, if
we win a Super Bowl together, this

262
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:15.759
would be awesome. And I can
go on and get a head coaching job

263
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.359
with a with a with a Super
Bowl ring, and that'll be great.

264
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.440
Or I stay here. The Cowboys
train falls off the tracks yet again,

265
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.039
and Mike McCarthy loses his job,
and Jerry Jones now loves dan Quinn promotes

266
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.240
him to head coach, And now
you've got a new head coaching job,

267
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.720
and you get to go down to
the field every day and tell Michael Parsons

268
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.680
what the business is. Yeah,
Okay, I'm now that's what I want

269
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.960
to happen. Okay, let's screw
this season, let's get down Quint next

270
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.920
year. Look like that's what That's
what in my head. I'm like,

271
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.839
well, that would be that would
be cool to see on the sideline,

272
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:53.079
Like that would be an interesting,
interesting take. Yeah. No, I

273
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.240
still think. I still think even
if that were to happen, if the

274
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.319
Cowboys season falls apart, McCarthy gets
fired and and Quinn gets promoted to head

275
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:04.079
coach, I still think Dan Quinn
is going to do the Micah Parsons wind

276
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:08.440
up and then still run up to
the booth above the field, just because

277
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:17.400
it's safer that way. The only
head coach in the booth. There's dangerous

278
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.160
down there. It is. It's
like he has to turn to his coordinators

279
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:22.319
and actually be like, yeah,
this is the safe is the best spot

280
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.839
to be. You get to see
everything and you don't get accidentally eaten by

281
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.759
Micah Parsons, which is an unfortunate
thing because if you're a teammate of Micah

282
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.559
Parsons, you have to just give
him a little bit of room so he

283
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:38.720
doesn't you know, munch on you
at the same time, he's gonna kill

284
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:44.160
people. That's why I'm up here. I would love I would love to

285
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.759
see a head coach in the in
the booth. That would if I were

286
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.880
ahead, That's where I would be
like, I'm like, can I just

287
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.720
sit? Yeah? I just sit
and watched like you're the coach. Like

288
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:56.839
I would have I would be by
old high school coach. I would just

289
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:02.720
have hot dog and popcorn and and
a coke on, and you have the

290
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.200
headphones on to make it look like
you're doing some actual coaching, when in

291
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:15.480
reality you're actually just listening to the
Treehouse Football podcast. You're listening to the

292
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:34.799
Treehouse visit us online, a Treehouse
on Air dot com. You're listening to

293
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:48.160
the Treehouse visitors online. That Treehouse
on Air dot com helps. If I

294
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:52.759
turned my mic on in the first
two weeks season, it's still it's still

295
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.640
a baby, but you can still
glean some things out of two weeks,

296
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:03.200
the Cowboys combined points are sixty to
ten, So I feel I feel pretty

297
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.599
good about going to Arizona facing the
Owen two Cardinals in the late afternoon game

298
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:17.440
on Sunday. Do you Trey have
any at all trepidation about this game whatsoever

299
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:21.319
or we get or are we about
to go up like one hundred to thirteen

300
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:26.519
as far as three weeks in the
NFL season. And it always scares me

301
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:29.880
to say this with the Cowboys and
or Longhorns or any of my teams that

302
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.039
I don't really have a lot of
fear going into Arizona. I watched some

303
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.720
of their game, I don't I
didn't even know who's playing their quarterback.

304
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.680
It's I think it's Hobbs. I
have no idea who it is. And

305
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:47.599
that's who Robert Redford played in the
natural. He was a great right fielder.

306
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:49.279
I don't you know. He was
great at the play. I don't

307
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:53.119
remember how good of an arm he
had. But I don't like what the

308
00:22:53.119 --> 00:23:00.400
age would be on the Roy Hobbs
character playing quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.

309
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.720
The quarterback for Arizona is Josh Dobbs. So you may remember him from when

310
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:10.920
he was playing with Tennessee last year, and he wasn't even on the team

311
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:17.799
the week that they had to play
the Cowboys, and Josh Dobbs, or

312
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:22.759
maybe it was the week before he
had been called up to Tennessee. Whatever

313
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.200
it was, he wasn't on the
team. They had major injuries in Tennessee.

314
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:32.480
He ends up getting a call to
come play football again, and I

315
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:36.319
actually I think it was against Dallas. They lose twenty seven to thirteen,

316
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:40.839
and honestly, it seemed like a
great, great young man. He's a

317
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:47.119
he went to college for aerospace engineering, so he's got a hell of a

318
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:52.759
brain on him. But unless the
Cowboys, unless Dak Prescott and Josh Dobbs

319
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.119
are taking an aerospace engineering test,
I like our I like our chances.

320
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:02.000
Yeah, I don't think i've I
mean I used to when I was playing

321
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.279
fantasy football. I would keep up
with the Cardinals because only because I had

322
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:11.400
Larry Fitzgerald as my receiver. I
don't think I've kept I don't think there's

323
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:18.200
anything like major that's happened with that, like the major moves that have happened,

324
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:23.119
or or a player acquisitions that have
happened that would make it something that

325
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:26.880
we would have to worry about,
Like I'm yeah, I mean, Josh

326
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.240
Dobbs as a quarterback is not one
that should scare you as the Cowboys,

327
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:36.279
especially when the previous time you played
Josh Dobbs, the quarterback in Tennessee.

328
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.759
His parents made the drive from Michigan
and were caught on national television enjoying the

329
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:52.359
game. Those those are the people
that were viral last year after that game

330
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.880
because it was a Sunday night football
game or no Thursday night football game and

331
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.759
Cowboys won twenty seven thirteen and his
parents look like they had been abducted and

332
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:06.599
forced to watch the game that their
son played in. So I would imagine

333
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:11.839
they're not going to be making a
special trip for this game. That's the

334
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:18.079
saddest picture of seed. Oh long, long story short. I feel like

335
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:21.480
Trey, I feel highly confident that
the Cowboys will move to three and zero

336
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.240
after this week's game in Arizona.
In trepidation on your part, No,

337
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:27.839
I just you know, I'm that
guy, right, I'm like, well,

338
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:30.279
this is the one that they walk
into going, oh, we got

339
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:37.119
this. And there's a desperation on
the side of the Cardinals of we've got

340
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:41.279
to for our fans, for ourselves, for our morale, for our egos,

341
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:45.880
we have to win this. And
on the film side, the Cowboys

342
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:49.839
going this is this, It's it's
them and I That's when I worry,

343
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:56.200
like they are the Cowboys going to
come into light and then Arizona comes into

344
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:59.480
heavy. So I mean, I
don't think there's anything to worry about,

345
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.680
but yeah, ahead, I think
Arizona is such a dumpster fire after the

346
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:08.880
Kingsbury experience that, I mean,
you hired a coach that didn't even have

347
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:14.680
a winning record at Texas Tech.
Yeah, and then he drafts a quarterback

348
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:19.319
that he likes, and mind you
never forget this. Where Kingsbury really made

349
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:23.000
his name was he was the O
C at A and M when they had

350
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:29.119
Manzel, which the circumstances that led
into that year A and M new coach,

351
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:32.200
quarterback no one's ever heard of in
a new conference and teams they have

352
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:34.599
never played before. Because other than
that, then you watched the experience from

353
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:38.279
then and then everyone figured it out
and no big deal. Basically, Cliff

354
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.599
Kingsbury got to ride the wave of
being the new guy for a handful of

355
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:47.319
years. He got to drive he
got to drive Johnny the Johnny Football wave.

356
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:52.119
And then you know, just because
he's a good looking guy and for

357
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.200
something. And I don't understand this. I don't understand this with NFL when

358
00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:02.960
it comes to coaches or quarterbacks of
why they see someone who really doesn't fit

359
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.359
the bill, but they think,
oh, but with we can make him

360
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:10.920
that guy. We see the potential
no one else does. It's called arrogance.

361
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.519
Yeah, that's what But that's what
coaches like, that's what coaches do.

362
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:18.680
Like when kids don't sign and this
is just my perspective, kids don't

363
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.720
sign up for peewee going I'm gonna
be The coaches see that and go,

364
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:27.160
that's gonna be the That guy's the
quarterback. Like I see that leadership,

365
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:32.039
that arrogance, that chip, whatever
it is. So they want to cultivate

366
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:33.880
that. Everybody wants to be the
guy that picks the next big thing.

367
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.519
Like, well, that's why I
love about the Johnny Manzel story. I'm

368
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.319
like, that dude was my spirit
animal. That dude is signing autographs for

369
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.400
money in college. I'm like,
I love this dude. He was doing

370
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.960
illegal stuff in college and I'm like, he's going to wash out so fast.

371
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.519
I love this god like, but
every coach like he's got he's got

372
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:55.920
it, like we had we you
know, and I hope he's not listening.

373
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.400
But we had a quarterback in high
school that everybody, I mean,

374
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.079
they every coach was like, he
is the real deal, and it couldn't

375
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:08.240
have been more incorrect. Uh just
just overall, you're just a good old

376
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:11.960
fashioned flame out. Huh Yeah,
I mean, but I mean everybody the

377
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.880
coaches, that's who they pick like, that's that, that's the guy.

378
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:21.480
So when you're talking about how he
randomly picked the guy that he likes,

379
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:23.519
I think that's what at the end
of the day, I think that's what

380
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:26.160
it is, like I can mold
this man into what I want him to

381
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:32.680
be. Well, look at look
at Kingsbury's experience and his successes, and

382
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:37.640
you know, you look at Johnny
Menzel I believe I believe he had Baker

383
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:44.079
Mayfield at one point, Okay,
and so he likes undersized quarterbacks that you

384
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:47.240
know, maybe can scramble. And
you're right, every coach wants to be

385
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:51.799
the guy that says I discovered that. Yes, And it's fine if you're

386
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.960
in high school, even in college. Yeah, but in the pros where

387
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.079
draft picks were your first round pick
is so vital, and especially the quarterback

388
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.640
position is so vital. One bad
pick, you've just screwed your franchise for

389
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:07.839
three to five years and you probably
are going to get fired, which is

390
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.119
exactly what happened to Cliff Kingsbury.
And now he's going to have to start

391
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:14.799
all over somewhere else trying to figure
out, Okay, let me find a

392
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.480
new tiny white guy to ride back
into the NFL. No, he did

393
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:25.039
what Kingsbury is actually at the for
his looks everything. He now has the

394
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:30.119
perfect job for him, which is
the offensive coordinator of the USC Trojans.

395
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:36.039
That is a good gig. And
that's the sad thing is is when it

396
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.720
comes time for meetings with his team
and he puts up the game plan for

397
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:42.680
the week, he's going to be
really embarrassed when it has nothing to do

398
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:52.160
with football and it's just photos of
co eds that he's pre selected. And

399
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.079
so we're talking more about Cliff Kingsbury
than we are the actual coach of Arizona,

400
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:00.359
which is which is which is the
former defensive coordinate of the Eagles?

401
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:06.720
Who is the coach of the I
don't even yeah, who is any research

402
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:08.119
before these shows? And you know
what, I'm not mad about it.

403
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.559
You know, it's just one of
those there's no reason, there's no reason

404
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:18.920
on this Treehouse Football podcast to get
mired in details and facts let's just go

405
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:26.000
on good old fashioned, stupid fan
passion opinions and the occasional toilet joke.

406
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:32.160
Yeah, I just I'm not worried. I guess that's why there was no

407
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:36.359
So what you're saying is, now, after we just spent the last seven

408
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:44.200
minutes or so decrying the arrogance,
we're now being arrogant Cowboys fans, Which

409
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.799
is what most other teams fan bases
hate about us, is when we're just

410
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.000
two weeks good, We're only two
weeks good in this season, and we're

411
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:56.759
already getting cocky about going on the
road to Arizona? Are we? Are

412
00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:03.599
we being cocky? Our slogan is
America's team. We just decided that for

413
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:07.759
you. Like, that's that's that's
the arrogance date is about when they Well,

414
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:12.000
the other thing too is Cowboys fans
didn't select that, Sham didn't select

415
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:17.440
that. That was NFL Films.
That's the Sable family's fault. And it

416
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.519
just suck. Yeah. I like
how they just walk around like we're America's

417
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.839
too. I'm like, yeah,
we we. When I was in Ireland,

418
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:29.599
uh doing shows many years ago,
and that was the number one selling

419
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.000
hat in all of Ireland. Was
the Cowboys hat and the second was the

420
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.720
Yankees. I mean there is no
yeah, there's no other franchise that has

421
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:42.839
has been as mediocre as the Cowboys
have for the last thirty years. And

422
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:48.680
that and they're one of the few
teams that still move the ratings needles tremendously.

423
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.480
I mean, that's why they're always
on the big game. They can

424
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.200
suck, but they are still like
either they love them or you hate them,

425
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.599
but people will watch them absolutely,
And that's the reason why we've got

426
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:04.279
the three twenty five game in the
afternoon Dallas on the road to Arizona.

427
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.440
As Tray said, the only thing
hotter in the Arizona Desert right now is

428
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:13.319
the dumpster fire that is the Cardinals. I just love the term dumpster fire.

429
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.880
I laugh every time I hear it. Has so many wonderful uses,

430
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:27.880
whether it's sports or in life in
general, or radio stations. Well played,

431
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:32.960
well play advantage, thank you.
Yeah, I think that that is

432
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:37.160
the arrogance, right, Like I
would have done. I would have done

433
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.480
more research on the Arizona Cardinals when
I was like, there's a chance they

434
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.599
could win. When I asked you
earlier, when I asked you do you

435
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:49.960
have any hesitation or any trepidation about
going on the road to Arizona, yours

436
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.279
a respons world been. I am
so not worried. I didn't even bother

437
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.480
to look up who their head coaches
or who their quarterback is. Yeah,

438
00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:01.359
I don't know who anybody on that
team is. If I wasn't playing,

439
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:06.359
if I was playing fantasy football,
maybe, but uh no. The only

440
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:10.359
thing I worry about is our arrogance
going into it, like just just kind

441
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:13.599
of taking it as like we got
this. We don't have to show up

442
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:16.359
and play as hard as we did
the last two weeks. That's the only

443
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:22.039
thing I worry about. Well,
let's let's ride that wave of arrogance over

444
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:27.839
into the college game, and let's
touch on trays and let's touch on trays.

445
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:32.119
Longhorns. What a perfect seg not
bad? Huh not bad. Right

446
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:35.319
as soon as I saw it,
I was like, Yeah, I see

447
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:39.319
an opportunity there. I'm gonna grasp
it. I'm gonna grasp this opportunity much

448
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:47.400
like Micah Parsons grasps quarterbacks. And
that is Trey as a massive ut fan

449
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:53.519
slash alum, someone who actually uh
you know, threw some pads on at

450
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:59.160
UT for for a short while.
How is your long? I never threw

451
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.319
them on. I just watch one
day as I got invited to walk on,

452
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:06.119
and I saw what they did to
walk on, and I realized then

453
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:08.719
that my football playing days were over. It was a wise decision. And

454
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:15.639
look at you now. So let's
ride that wave of Texas football arrogance over

455
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:22.280
into the college side of things.
Number three ranked UT who is now three

456
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:29.119
and zero playing what is sometimes in
its history a dangerous game with Baylor.

457
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:34.920
Now Baylor now this has the same
makings of Cowboys versus Cardinals. Cowboys are

458
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:40.239
undefeated, Longhorns undefeated. Cardinals are
don't have a win yet. Baylor has

459
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:44.760
one win, but it was against
the school whose initials are L I U.

460
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:47.119
I didn't even bother to look up
what school it was because I know

461
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:51.159
they lost the next two games.
And you know one of the schools that

462
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:57.320
Baylor lost to Raja's Texas State,
Yeah south with us, so well they're

463
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:00.679
Texas State now when you were there
in the Southwest, Texas so trade yea.

464
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:08.039
So how how what's your arrogance meter
playing playing a Baylor team that lost

465
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:15.320
to Texas State. Any time you
don't get something like that. Those guys

466
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:25.280
tried well. The only, the
only, the only sports organization that likes

467
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:29.199
to shoot itself in the foot more
than the Cowboys are the Texas, long

468
00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:36.559
words, and they do it with
just great precision and going into it.

469
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:38.760
I mean, Baylor's bad this year. I got I watched some of their

470
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:45.280
games. They're bad, and so
there shouldn't be It should be kind of

471
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:50.079
like the Wyoming game last Saturday.
It's gonna be kind of a close first

472
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:52.679
half, but ultimately, I mean, you should just wear them out and

473
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:59.440
you know, have an easy win. That being said, Texas loves to

474
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:05.800
screw up, so like all Texas
games, I am incredibly cautiously optimistic for

475
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:07.639
this one. Like if we were
going into Lubbock, then I would be

476
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:13.519
really scared because you can't have,
you know, let down in Lubbick just

477
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:20.159
we suck in love it. But
I'm hopeful there. Yeah, I hate,

478
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:24.000
I hate, I hate. I
hate Baylor just for a personal reason,

479
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:29.000
like I hate that school. I
hate Yeah every time, you too,

480
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:31.880
because Baylor's where my parents met.
Oh really, and that didn't work

481
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:42.079
out good for anybody. I did
a show there and they're very Baptist and

482
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.199
I had to type up my entire
set. This is back in the day.

483
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:51.119
I'd type up my set and send
it in for the Board of Regents

484
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:58.559
to approve of the content, and
I get the big stamped approval, the

485
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:00.320
big red stamp this has approved.
I'm not even making that up. They

486
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:07.079
it's a big, giant red stamp
that said approved for my forty five minute

487
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:13.880
performance at Baylor? Was that before
or after all the sexual harassment and rape

488
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:20.519
and sexual assault allegations with the football
program to two or three years before?

489
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.719
Uh so? Uh? I guess
it was. It was happening, but

490
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:28.320
they just had it, hadn't all? This is like I think that I

491
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.960
made a joke about it. I
think the month before they were allowed to

492
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:35.760
dance, like they could actually have
a dance because they wouldn't. They weren't

493
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:38.960
allowed to have dances. Uh.
And and I made the joke on stage

494
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:45.639
because I hate them. I go, uh who called? Who called?

495
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:50.320
And said it was okay? Like
what what? Like Commissioner Gordon had the

496
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:52.760
bat phone, does does your does
your got it? Called directly from God?

497
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:57.440
That says God's like, hey,
it's cool if they if they shake

498
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:02.760
a boot. Uh. But thirty
years thirty years after Footloose came out,

499
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:12.199
and I get this big red stamp
saying you your set is approved. Have

500
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:16.679
fun entertaining those Baptist kids. And
I get to the venue and they're supposed

501
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:19.840
to have a dressing room for me, and I'm not a picky guy.

502
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:21.480
They were like, what do you
want on your rider? I was like,

503
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:23.440
can I just get a sandwich and
chips and a diet coke? That's

504
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:29.559
all I wanted. They gave me
a four little thing little box of chocolates

505
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:31.239
and went, here's your food.
And they weren't even kidding. They're like,

506
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:35.360
here's your food. And I had
a share of dressing room with their

507
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:38.239
drill team or whatever it was.
And then they came back and went,

508
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:44.639
hey, we forgot to tell you. One of the members of the Board

509
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:49.880
of Regents wasn't present when they voted
to approve it, and she voted against

510
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:54.480
it, So you can't do any
of your set. And I literally walked

511
00:38:54.480 --> 00:39:00.239
into for a sandwich and some chips. Know I had to still perform forty

512
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:02.480
five minutes. They're like, just
just you can't do any of the stuff

513
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:07.239
that you were going to do.
So they would rather they would rather you

514
00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:12.599
not do your pre submitted material and
instead let you loose on stage without any

515
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:15.360
sort of a script. Yes,
how much fun did you have that night?

516
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:20.679
Robb Oh, I haven't taken a
dump on a school that big and

517
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:22.480
my you would have thought I had
Indian food the night before, because I

518
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:30.000
just have. They invited you back
since then, not one time? Never?

519
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:34.960
Are you okay with that? So
I hope the Longhorns take a bigger

520
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:39.320
dump on them than I did.
And that's impressive because every time I drive

521
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:44.199
to Austin, every time I passed
Baylor, I literally, I'm not even

522
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:45.800
making this up. I stick my
finger out the window and I'm just like,

523
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:52.679
the whole whole way from when McFarland
Stadium starts to where Elvis ate breakfast,

524
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:54.920
I just do this the whole time. It's so funny that you do

525
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:58.880
that too. It's just that you
and I do it for two completely different

526
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:08.719
reasons. One has some childhood trauma
that a lot of it so much.

527
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:16.400
So basically what we're getting at is
trauma gets trauma breeds at Baylor. Yes,

528
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:24.039
let's let's continue. So let's continue
to ride the arrogance wave with one

529
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:30.960
last little tidbit here on the Treehouse
Football podcast, and that is one of

530
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:37.119
the major stories that came out last
week and ended this week that takes football

531
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:43.039
and celebrity and entertainment and brings them
two together like two scissoring lesbians on a

532
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:50.880
website. And that is the story
that came out that quite possibly maybe kind

533
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:57.840
of sword of Travis Kelsey Taylor Swift
quietly hanging out according to sources, Yeah,

534
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:01.920
according to his brother, right,
so they've actually well yeah, I

535
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:07.119
mean that that that That's what to
me adds credibility to this story is that

536
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:10.159
there's not a whole lot of outright
denial about it. And when there is

537
00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:15.559
no outright denial, that usually means
something is going on. And I would

538
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:20.840
and there's the reason why I mentioned
the arrogant side of it is it's a

539
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:25.239
story as old as time and that
is an NFL player having the swag to

540
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:29.199
say, you know what, you
know what, that you know what that

541
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:35.639
amazing most popular, powerful pop singer
needs in her life. Me Ye.

542
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:42.239
Enter Travis Kelsey at a Taylor Swift
Era's show in July where he shoots his

543
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:47.519
shot and tries to give her his
number. As as told on the podcast,

544
00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:52.599
that Travis and his brother do.
I'll let him tell you how that

545
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:57.000
went down. If you're up on
Taylor Swift concerts. There are friendship bracelets

546
00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:00.440
and I received a bunch of them
being there, But I want to give

547
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:05.320
Taylor Swift one with my number on
it, not right, your numbers in

548
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:12.280
eighty seven or your phone number,
you know which one, so that she

549
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.360
doesn't meet anybody. And she doesn't, or at least she didn't want to

550
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:19.559
meet me, so I took a
personal So he's he even said in that

551
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:21.639
show. Yeah, he was a
little butt hurt about that, but he

552
00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:25.639
understood it because he later said she
doesn't talk to anybody before the show because

553
00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:29.960
she has to sing forty four songs. She's saving her voice. So that

554
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:32.239
was in July. Fast forward to
just last week. Now it seems like

555
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:42.719
they're quietly hanging out. Yeah.
And as any time anyone's ever been attached

556
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.559
to Taylor Swift, I always wonder, what is it you think you're gonna

557
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:52.320
do different? Yeah, every time
she's dating somebody, I'm like, oh,

558
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.199
I can't. She's trying to write
a new album that I think everyone

559
00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:59.480
has that that same thought, and
then I thought, and then I started

560
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:05.559
thinking about this. There has been
a line of very good looking, handsome,

561
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:13.559
wealthy, talented suitors in Taylor Swift's
wake, and Travis Kelsey is now

562
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:20.960
throwing his cleats into her arena,
saying I can do what all these other

563
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:24.239
guys couldn't. And I thought,
I don't know anybody else that would have

564
00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:32.000
that level of arrogance, And then
I remembered I know Trey Trenholme, and

565
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:38.239
I think when you leave such a
wake of bodies behind you the way Taylor

566
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:43.679
Swift has, I think deep down
we all assume she's probably got a little

567
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:46.519
crazy in her, and I think
that is where Trey sees the spark.

568
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:51.760
Oh, I see a lot of
crazy in her. You can just tell,

569
00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:57.360
like some of her some of her
songs, they're written by a crazy

570
00:43:57.360 --> 00:44:00.679
person and you just you know it, and yeah, I would. I've

571
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:01.960
got the liner notes and it says
written by Taylor Swift and you're like,

572
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:06.199
well, yeah, and you realize, yeah, she really is a disturbed,

573
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:14.719
emotionally unbalanced person. And I love
you would, but you would really

574
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:19.519
think though Tony Romo would call you
know, Kelsey, have we go hey

575
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:23.519
dating a pop star that I love? That you mentioned that tree because I

576
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:25.400
don't know if you'll be able to
see this or not, but I put

577
00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:30.079
that in my notes right right here. It says, underneath Travis Kelsey and

578
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:37.280
Taylor Swift, I have two great
examples from the cowboys recent history of dating

579
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:42.280
starlets. That is Tony Romo and
Jessica Simpson. That did not go well.

580
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:45.400
That was terrible for everybody involved.
It was bad for Jessica Simpson,

581
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:49.760
it was bad for the Cowboys,
it was bad for Tony. It was

582
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:54.480
kind of good for the eye hoop
off of thirty five. But then Miles

583
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:58.639
Austin and don't know if you guys
remember this, Miles Austin for a brief

584
00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:00.760
time was linked with Kim carter Ashian
when he was at the height of his

585
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:06.639
popularity. Yes, none of those
things ended well for anybody after After Miles

586
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:09.920
Austin dated Kim Kardashian, I don't
even know if he caught a touchdown after

587
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:15.079
that. No, because the Kardashians
will destroy you, and that's that's that's

588
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:19.280
their function in life is to destroy
talented black man like that's what they look

589
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:22.039
at Kanye West, he was a
musical genius. He married Kim Kardashian.

590
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:25.039
Now he's got his ass crack showing
on a boat in Venice, Like where

591
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:29.400
if you want to talk about what
they do in a black look what they

592
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:34.679
did to Bruce Jenner. Yeah,
that's that's the ongoing joke. And he's

593
00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:38.760
related. It's ongoing family, that's
the ongoing joke. And like the comedy

594
00:45:38.760 --> 00:45:43.519
community is, uh there, there's
so there's so they're so bad at being

595
00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:49.039
women. Bruce Jenner's like pulled my
beard, Like let me show you,

596
00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:52.239
bitch, is how this was done. But I my joke and I've always

597
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.199
said this, and I say it
with so much passion, like, uh,

598
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:59.840
the Kardashians are like bleach. Uh. If you're black and they get

599
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:05.719
on you, you're ruined. Uh, that's just how that works. Every

600
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:08.639
Reggie Bush, Well, here's here's
what something. Here's something you need to

601
00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:10.679
keep in mind if you if you
were if you were a black man and

602
00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:16.519
you're trying to date one of the
Kardashians and using your bleach analogy, raj,

603
00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:21.360
that is this, do not go
in the bathroom when they were bleaching

604
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:28.840
their butt holes, because that may
be how it actually happens. Because once

605
00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:31.400
they're done with that you might be
the butt hole they're trying to bleach' that's

606
00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:37.079
what it's gonna be. Like they're
just Yeah, I didn't he right after

607
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:42.400
Jessica Simpson didn't remo date Carrie Underwood. Wasn't he going through like like country

608
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:44.880
singers. I think he was just
like, let me just turn on,

609
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:47.079
Like that's the arrogance. I can
just turn on the country, like the

610
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:52.599
country like like Tony did not learn
his lesson with Jessica Simpson, although I

611
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:57.840
will say that Carrie Underwood seems to
have her head on her shoulders a little

612
00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:01.880
bit straighter than Jessica Simpson did at
the time. Yeah, but both of

613
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:09.119
the tail in comparison to the mountain
that Taylor Swift is where Travis Kelsey is

614
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:13.320
trying to climb. Yeah, that's
and if and if you know, if

615
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:21.079
if he if he secures the victory
of dating and then you don't know marrying

616
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:24.039
Taylor Swift, Like she's she's so
big, Like I think was it uh

617
00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:28.880
some Eastern European country that she's performing
in, like it helped their economy,

618
00:47:29.199 --> 00:47:32.079
Like that's how big her concert is, Like it's really like helped their GDP

619
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:37.320
out. What would be What would
be a greater accomplishment in Travis Kelsey's career

620
00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:44.039
winning another Super Bowl, including being
named MVP in that Super Bowl, or

621
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:50.880
settling down, not just landing Taylor
Swift, but actually settling down and doing

622
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:54.559
the whole family thing with her,
Which would be the greater accomplishment I would

623
00:47:54.599 --> 00:47:59.559
I would go Taylor Swift. Yeah, yeah, you know why because there's

624
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:04.320
been what fifty three other Super Bowls
and MVPs in those games. He would

625
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:08.239
just be like the fifty fourth Whereas
whereas no one's, no one's reached the

626
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:19.119
summit of Taylor Swift. She's his
everest. Why don't we always come back

627
00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:27.599
to white guys on some crazy expedition
of of impossibilities. She that's his everest

628
00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:30.679
and all. She really needs to
some green boots. Uh, that's what

629
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:32.760
That's what she needs. She she
should, She should settle down with an

630
00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:37.559
Indian dude. I think Britney Spears
wouldn't have gone crazy married Indian. It

631
00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:42.599
al comes back to they need to
marry an Indian dude. I don't know

632
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:47.719
why are you? Are you offering
yourself up as tribute uh to Taylor's I

633
00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:52.320
don't think I because now I kind
of see the crazy. I didn't before.

634
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:55.199
I know she has writing I didn't. She seems this is why I

635
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:58.559
need to hang out with Trey more. I've hung out with Trey enough over

636
00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:01.000
the years that he's my crazy.
I know I'm next to him and he

637
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:05.039
starts gyrating his hips just a little
bit more than usual. I know that

638
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:07.000
that I know to stay away.
Okay, gotcha, because I mean I

639
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:10.239
saw her at the VMA's and uh
not. I didn't see her through.

640
00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:15.280
I was watching the VMA's and I
saw her on and uh and she she

641
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:17.239

she was fan grolling out with some of

642
00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:20.360
the acts and was having a good
time. She was dancing, she was

643
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.519
drinking, she was having a good
time. I was like, Okay,

644
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:23.960
she likes to leave my hair down. That's kind of cool. I didn't

645
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:30.400
see the crazy. Uh. And
and then Trey uh smiled uh and went,

646
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:32.559
