This is an iHeart podcast. Hi, I'm Buzz Knight, the host of the Taking a Walk podcast, and join me for an upcoming episode with Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, talking about his new Frank Sinatra music project.

Anyone who loves music would salivate over something like this. The biggest question for us was, what's in these boxes? Really, the most thrilling part was hiring an orchestra and just playing what was in these boxes.

Listen to Taking a walk on the iHeartRadio app, Apple PODC, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Jake Hofer and this is back 40, a limited series show on Wire to Hunt, part of Meat Eaters Podcast Network. Each episode I'll be asking eight whitetail hunting pros a focused, thought provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access? Should you? That's what the real question is. Stand without good access is not a good stand. Listen to Back 40 on iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Why are TSA rules so confusing? You got a hoodie on. Take it all. I'm Manny.

Affordable paint jobs like collision repairs, get a free estimate today. Oh, better get moo the stop me if you've heard this one before. Files brings us the Dallas Cowboys who committed, in my opinion, organizational malpractice yesterday. And it's not just because they traded away Micah Parsons. It's how they traded him away. You get two first round picks. You get a former Pro bowl defensive lineman Kenny Clark from Green Bay and Jerry Jones admitted that the team had been considering moving Parsons as early as the beginning of the off season. And I think that's where the misstep occurred. If you know you're open to dealing a 26 year old pass rusher maybe the best defensive player in the game, why wait until a week before the start of the season, if you're in March, leading up to the draft, you know, everybody's got these draft picks. Maybe we could do something here. Cap room teams can maybe explore a trade with Micah Parsons. It just doesn't make any sense. If you're going to trade him, okay, then trade him back in March or April. If the, you know, the sticker shock was there and you didn't want to pay him, that you thought you had a handshake agreement, which is illegal in the NFL. Illegal. And Jerry thought, okay, we've agreed on a deal that's just over 40. $40 million. 40.5. Well, if you know these other defensive players who are. Are of similar stature to Micah Parsons, TJ Watt and Miles Garrett, Max Crosby, maybe you know what the price is going to be and you know what's going on. You draft a guy, you want him to be great. You want him to be into that second contract. They were going to do that. He has been great. He's. He's, you know, his trajectory is hall of Fame. And I kept thinking, okay, I didn't think that Jerry would trade him. And then all of a sudden, I did a little deeper dive. And, you know, I had conversations that were off the record, and I have to be true to those two conversations. But as soon as I got off the, you know, a phone call with one source and I called Paulie and I go, I got information. I. I can't really do anything with this. I gotta be fair. But it gave me a little bit more of a backd. What had been going on? And was Micah Parsons truly liked in the building? Could Stephen Jones have been? Maybe his fingerprints are on this. Like, there was a lot of things that were swirling. I just want to kind of find out exactly. It doesn't help me advance the story, but at least I was trying to find out. But I was sworn. You know, this is off the record. This, you know, like every four sentences, this is off the record. I go, it's off the record. But I wanted to understand how. How did we get to this point? Because Jerry, I thought, would say, I got a quarterback that is a marquee quarterback. Whether you think he's great or not, you're paying him. You got a marquee wide receiver, and you got Micah Parsons. Now you got Diggs, too, who's been banged up the last two years. But you. You got guys at key positions, and that's what you want. And I thought, okay, this is gonna. It's gonna hurt. You overpaid for Dak. You needed to overpay for Micah Parsons, in my opinion. But somehow through all of this, Jerry Jones yesterday, with a straight face said that the team is actually better now. This gives us a better chance to be a better team than we have been the last few several years since Mike has.
- [08:09]
B
Not any negative on Micah.
- [08:11]
A
But we're trying to get better. We're trying to stop the run and stay in the hunt. Okay, you're not better now, not today. And you have flexibility. Kenny Clark is a good defensive tackle, but his best years are behind him. He went to two Pro Bowls. Okay, yeah, we got to stop the run. You know, you got to stop the pass as well. You had one of the worst defenses. It's not just, hey, we're stopping the run, but boy, they're putting up a lot of yards on us through the air. Micah Parsons is a game changer. He wrecks games. The only way you would be better is if Micah Parsons doesn't play for Green Bay. He's banged up or doesn't play well. What are the odds of a guy who's 26 with a big chip on his shoulder now and you got to live up to that contract going to underproduce. This reminds me of the Khalil Mack deal when the Bears acquired him. The Raiders got more from the Bears than the Cowboys got. You know, for Micah Parsons from Green Bay, you got two first and then you got a couple other draft picks for, you know, Colomac and very similar, similar age, similar production. And I just, I, I kept thinking, you got to get more. I thought it was three first round picks. Juno, Jamal Adams was traded for three first round picks. That's a safety Seattle gave up. And see, you know, Seattle's got a great front office. They gave up three first round picks for Jamal Adams. You gotta get more. You gotta shop him. And you didn't do that. But is, is Jerry's ego in the way here? You know, everybody wants to make the Herschel Walker analogy. It's not. I mean, Jimmy Johnson was running the show. Jimmy Johnson orchestrated the value they were going to get for Herschel Walker. And it changed the franchise. This isn't changing the franchise because if I look at the average pick, draft pick, first round pick of the packers the last five drafts. So where they're going to finish, that's where the Cowboys are getting that draft pick. 23, 25, 28, 29. Now they did add the 15th pick. That was the Aaron Rodgers pick, swap with the Jets. But now you just Added Micah Parsons to a team that could be an nfc, you know, title contender. And now they are. They're certainly. They're super bowl contender. And the odds. Packers were plus 2000 to win the Super Bowl. They're now plus 1200. They were plus 1100 to win the NFC. Now plus 600. Dallas plus 5000 to win the Super Bowl. They'm now plus 7000. They were plus 2200 to win the NFC. They're now plus 3000. You're not better. Now let's see what you do with the draft picks. But, you know, with the clock ticking, Jerry wanting to win another Super Bowl. Dax not getting any younger. 32, been banged up. You're paying him $60 million. I just didn't understand it. Now we'll talk to both sides. You know, we'll talk to reporters with the packers and the Cowboys and get their thoughts on, you know, tell me how that doesn't work out for the Packers. Tell me how this does work out for the Cowboys, because that's what this is all about. And I just didn't understand how Jerry put himself in this position. I didn't think he would trade him away. And I was wondering, was I more surprised that Luca got traded to the Lakers or Micah Parsons got traded to the Packers? And neither of these teams shop their. Their stars. Dallas talked to the Lakers. Dallas talked to the Packers. I'm sure other teams got in. Maybe. I haven't heard anybody who said, hey, this team is offering this. But you, you keep him in the nfc, a team you're going to play in a month, a really good team. This is where you trade him to Carolina at Green Bay. Ah, this is why I'll never be a billionaire. You know, there's another reason why I won't be a billionaire. I can't think like Jerry does. Hey, great businessman. Okay, all right. Great businessman. You're the one who extended dak. You brought Zeke back again. You didn't get the true value for Michael. I mean, that's just recent. Here waited on cd, Lamb. It goes back to what we've said for months now. Act on it. If you truly believe that's the guy, then act on it, because you knew it. If we get in at 40 and a half instead of 47, which is what Green Bay paid now, it's, you know, we save 7 million this year and then 7 million the following year, and 7 million. So this is a big, big whiff. And we said it from the beginning right now, signing, being indecisive in sports is death. And they were indecisive. If you. If you thought you were going to keep him, then sign him up. I don't know how well liked he was. I think he. He certainly had a lot to say. I'm going to choose my words carefully once again, but. And I wonder Steven Jones's role in this. You know, Jerry's going to be giving this team to his son at some point. And I wonder if Stephen Jones was maybe the architect. It's easy to, you know, blame Jerry. I can blame Jerry for the previous months, but you had to get to a point where. And there's no board of directors. Everybody you know who's on the masthead, his name is Jones. Like you just have a family outing, and then you have to discuss, all right, what are we doing? They changed tradition here. And Jerry with his hand. Handshake nonsense, you know, about the team. And it was a handshake agreement. Okay, but you can't have handshake agreements that are binding with a player and you don't allow to have an agent in there. Mind boggling. What else did Jerry have to say? Yeah, let's see. Oh, here. Here he is. There's Jerry talking about his offer to Micah Parsons back in April. When I offered Micah the contract that I offered him back in April, he flew in from out of the country, wanted to come right in. I said, no, get you a night's sleep and come on in the next day. Get your next day. He wanted to come right in. We offered him a contract to come play for the Dallas Cowboys. And it was a good one. Okay? Now, it was more guaranteed than what I've been reported that was here now. But my point is, without getting into detail, that was a very genuine negotiation. Okay, get into detail, Jerry. Feel free. Now, you can let us behind the curtain here. I think if you have a gm, a true GM who has power, you don't get to this point, I think that GM goes, you know what? This isn't about a handshake agreement. This is about an agreement. And. And there is a process to this. That's what's surprising. And I. You're not better today. And I just think if you had some kind of fiscal sanity attached to this, you could have kept him. If you wanted to, you could have kept him. And I don't think it would have crushed you salary wise. And the cap keeps going up every year. He might turn out to be a bargain. Go back to when, you know, the. The Chiefs were signing Mahomes and I. It's a 10 year, $500 million deal. I came in the next day and I said they got a bargain. When Bryce Harper went to the Phillies, I said the Phillies got a bargain there. There are certain contracts where you go do it. Oh, man, it's going to hurt, but it's not going to hurt later. If you're buying, what, by value, by quality, and you've got two draft picks who don't help you this year, Kenny Clark better stop every running back. But it's a bad defense. I thought they could have competed. I thought that they could have competed and been a playoff team. I really did. Dak Healthy CD Lamb Micah is going to get paid now all of a sudden. You know, Dallas is going to be formidable now. They would lose tragically in the postseason, of course, like they always do. But still, you had a chance to compete this year and you don't. Now you're going to get some wins and you know what it'll be? It'll be a glimmer of God, what could have been. But the only way, in my opinion, it doesn't work out is if Micah doesn't work out. Because now you're going to get the 28th pick in the draft. Good luck. Kenny Clark better be great. Dak better be great. CD Lamb better have an unbelievable season. But you can't tell me the Cowboys are better today than they were yesterday. All right, we'll take a break. Brady Quinn will join us, get his thoughts on all of this. Plus college football. Watched a lot of college football. Not good college football last night, but I watched a lot of college football. We'll talk about that and the games coming up this weekend as well. We'll take a break. Back after this.

Anyone who loves music with salivate over something like this. The the biggest question for us was what's in these boxes? There were a few unplayed gems that we had been alerted to by Charlie Pinon of Sinatra Enterprises. So we knew that certain songs like Shadow of your Smile, which actually is not on this record, it'll be on the next one.

It's just, I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, no Such Thing, we we get to the bottom of questions like these.

Tirerack.com the way tire buying should be. He's Brady Quinn, Fox college football analyst and part of the big noon kickoff. They will be in Columbus and it'll be Texas against Ohio State. We'll talk about that coming up in a moment. Good to see you again with yesterday's news happening in the NFL. Did that change your opinion on which who is the team to beat a little bit?
- [24:36]
B
I mean, I think the way I look at the NFC is there's probably three or four teams that I think we legitimately are looking at thinking that they can win a Super Bowl, Philly being at the top of the list. But Green Bay was probably one of those teams and now it makes them without a doubt a contender, maybe even the biggest contender to the Philadelphia Eagles, in my opinion.
- [24:55]
A
Help me understand. Let's start with Dallas. You're shaking your head already because, because.
- [25:01]
B
Dan, none of it makes sense. I know, like a guy you drafted who has been a generational talent, has done everything on the field that you'd hope he would be. How do you make any sense of letting him walk? And I'm not saying that Kenny Clark won't help the run defense or they might not get a couple good first round picks, but probably because they're from Green Bay, probably in the second half, somewhere in the 20s. It's not like you're getting a top 10 pick. And so I just, I really don't see in the short term how this is going to help them the way it would if Micah Parsons was on the field for them. And even the long term, like, let's just say that, you know, they, they're in a rebuilding phase, not that they necessarily are, but in, in no way, shape or form does this help Dallas in the short term or long term. And if I'm a veteran in that locker room in Dallas and I keep hearing, you know, the, the phrase last year we're all in and people have kind of questioned some of that throughout the, throughout the years now I'm really questioning it, you know, now I'm really wondering like what exactly is going on in Dallas and how does this happen? Because it's not like Jerry Jones doesn't have the money or the cap space to do that sort of deal. It was a good deal, but it wasn't astronomical. Something that really blew things out of the water in regards to the Dallas Cowboys being unable to sign him to that deal. They, they were able to make it work with Dak Prescott. They've been able to make it work. CD Lam and other other players. This wasn't the sort of deal that would completely handicap them moving forward in their salary cap.
- [26:27]
A
I just didn't understand the lack of leverage there that Jerry could have created. You're a businessman, create leverage. And maybe prior to the draft you could have said he's available or you could have said in the last couple of weeks he's available. Let's get into a bidding war here because two first round, two late first round picks and Kenny Clark, the fact that Seattle gave up three first round picks for Jamal Adams, you know, Khalil Mack when he went to the Bears, the Raiders got a better deal. Like it just doesn't make sense with what you got in return. Yeah.
- [27:00]
B
And by the way, is Green Bay the only team that wanted Micah Parsons services? That's the other odd thing. It's like, was there not more teams inquiring? Was it Green Bay that was your best offer? It's just shocking. I mean, I think if you look at it statistically speaking, Micah Parsons is on a run that's again like in the likes of someone like LT and the likes of some of the greatest that have ever done it. And so you have to think that every single team that is in need of an edge rusher had reached out and would be willing to mortgage at least the next few years of the first round of the draft to have a player like that and sign him to a long term deal, especially when he's still in his prime. So look, I don't know if there's more to the story behind the scenes, whether that's from Micah's side or Jerry Jones side. It feels like that because none of this makes any sense. And it definitely doesn't from the Dallas Cowboys standpoint. And I feel bad for their fan base because I feel like they're being sold a bill of goods. And it's almost as if you can hear Jerry Jones up there trying to talk everyone into why this makes sense for them. And it, it just, it sounds like one of those things where you, you, you know, have your grandparent, they're getting to a point where you're like, okay, okay, Grandma, I'm not sure I necessarily believe what you're saying right now, but I'm going to give you a hug and a kiss and I'm going to keep supporting you.
- [28:13]
A
I don't know who's running the NFL Players Associate Players association anymore, but why did they allow Jerry Jones to negotiate in parentheses, a contract with Micah Parsons without his agent there?
- [28:25]
B
I mean, the sheer fact that you don't know who right now is running the NFLPA kind of lends itself to how that probably happens. I mean, that the NFLPA obviously has had its issues, let's just put it that way. I mean, as far as how things have, how business is being done, or maybe I should say how some of the meetings were taking place, especially with some of the venues they were taking place at. I know Fritzi frequents those from time to time, but I'll go ahead and leave that out of it. I don't know. I mean, this, this, this whole entire saga, whatever you want to, however you want to describe it, is quite possibly. I mean, again, you can only describe it as it being something that happens with Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. I don't know any other team that does business like this other than Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys, at least at this point in time in his career, owning the team and being the general manager.

Talking to Brady Quinn, Fox college football analyst Big noon kickoff. It'll be there at the the Shoe in Columbus and it'll be number one, Texas, number three, Ohio State. What advice would you give Arch Manning?
- [29:30]
B
Oh, it's a good question. I think the first thing I would say, I mean, he started some games before, but this one's going to feel different in part because he's got some new pieces up in front of him. But it's, it's probably just weathering the storm. I mean, there's going to be that initial adrenaline rush, which I'm sure you felt before the first time he started, going back to last year, even when he first got in Vers Colorado State, you know, you feel that adrenaline, like run through your body where you get that excitement. But there's going to be a different feeling in this one because of the atmosphere. I mean, Buckeye Nation is one of the best, toughest fan bases that you're going to go up against. There's 100,000 plus in that place. And it gets loud. And so it's really about to me weathering the storm early. You know, he's still very young in his career. It's his first year full time now as a starter. So there's going to be mistakes made and it's kind of having that short term memory, taking a deep breath, weathering those first few punches that Ohio State's going to have and then settling in. And that's sometimes easier said than done. Sometimes it takes you a half a football, sometimes it takes, you know, a couple positive plays or that first big throw, that first completion. It's almost like, you know, playing basketball. You know, once you kind of break the seal, you're able to make a bucket, then it feels like you give a little more confident, like everything's going to start going in. So I'm sure Steve Sarkeesian, because he's a mastermind at devising plays, he's going to come up with a few screens just to get him started and just also to try to tire out the Ohio State pass rush.

Social media is going to have a field day this after this game, one way or another, it's either Arch is going to win the Heisman or Arch is not going to win the Heisman or Texas is not a great team or Texas looks dominating, Ohio State's overrated or they're not going to repeat. We tend to do that. You know that quick reaction referendum coming up on Monday. What do you think the headline is going to be after this game?
- [31:24]
B
Well, I see it being more of a tight, low scoring game. So I don't know that we're going to see really either side coming away with like a blossoming report on either quarterback or either offense for that matter. I think it's gonna be more of a defensive battle. Typically the defense is always ahead of the offense anyway this time of year it's and part the quarterbacks in both these games are inexperienced. You know, Sam's getting his first start of his career. But it's also the offensive line we tend to forget. Like that group takes a while to gel and in particular for Texas, they got a bunch of new starters. Ohio State has a bunch of guys who play but have been in a full time starting role. But you get in that environment again with the crowd noise, everything else and just your communication, how you pass off the stunts and games. So I think it's going to be more of a low scoring defensive battle and I think we're going to come away with it. Looking at both these two teams as two of the top teams in college football and probably Two teams that we want to see how they progress and what they're going to look like at the end of the season because they may very well be squaring it off for a national championship when it's all said and done.

What is it like when you're out there on the road? Let's say you're at the big house. Let, let's say there's 80, 90, 100,000 people there. What's that feeling like when you first go on the field and you know everybody in the building hates you?
- [32:38]
B
It's awesome.
- [32:39]
A
Oh yeah, it's the best.
- [32:40]
B
It's the best thing in the world. Like there is no greater feeling than walking in as the enemy. And, and probably the most powerful thing that you can do in that situation is hear silence. And so when you create those big plays, when you, when you throw a touchdown pass. I'll never forget going to Michigan in 05 and we went in with a no huddle offense because Charlie Weiss, our coach was like, we don't even want to give the crowd the opportunity to play any impact. And I think our first drive, we drove right down the field and scored and it kind of took the wind out of everyone and we kind of just controlled the game from there. And I remember thinking back, like walking out of that place hearing 100,000 plus in the big house. Quiet. Nothing better than that. Like that's one of the most powerful things you can do as a quarterback when you're a part of a team that wins a game on the road in a big environment like that. And you just hear silence. It's awesome.
- [33:30]

Brady is also part of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, the radio program that precedes ours on a lot, a lot of our affiliates. I was listening the other day and you were talking about rookie quarterbacks or second year quarterbacks. And they will block out one side of the field when they go back to pass, they're already turned. And you know, you were talking about the windows you have. You, everybody's open, but in the pros they're only open for, you know, a split second. You were kind of given a referendum on why these quarterbacks struggle. So if you can recall what you were saying, you know, with Caleb Williams and you know, some of these other guys, why do they struggle when they first come in?
- [34:13]
B
So I think this is, and it starts to me at really a fundamental age of, of learning how to drop back because so many offenses, I mean, I've got nephews now. My, my sons are too young to play. But I've got nephews now that are playing in junior high and even, you know, in like fourth grade, fifth grade, and they're in shotgun already. I mean, they don't do a snap from under center almost anywhere anymore. And the reason why I think that's a bad place to start for quarterbacks is everything under center is tied into a sense of timing and rhythm. So your three step, five step, seven step, even your play action, pass fakes are all off of that. And the reason why that's so important is because you have a sense of timing for the footwork that your receivers are running too. And so if your. Your footwork synced up with their footwork, the timing kind of works out for it. And I know it sounds like something small, but that shotgun snap, the amount of time it takes to get to you sitting back in shotgun makes just a bit of difference, that it changes really the timing of the play. And so for a lot of quarterbacks who are trained with playing from under center, they naturally have that internal clock you hear people talk about all the time for when they drop back when they need to get rid of the football. The other thing it teaches you to do, because you're sitting right under center and is to get back from the line of scrimmage so you can see over those big guys in front of you. And so whether it's your three step, which no one does anymore, five step or seven step, it teaches you how to set the back of the pocket so you can see, but then step back up into it, because then that's what that tackles our coach to do, is kind of push those edge rushers out around you. So what happens is oftentimes when you catch the football and the shotgun, it's really hard to kind of be as disciplined with your footwork because the ball takes a little bit longer to get there. It depends on the, you know, center snap too. But oftentimes you're almost reacting to then when that, that footwork of the wide receiver, when things start to kind of come open. So you do your best you can to make that, you know, shotgun snap in the same rhythm that you have under center. But sometimes it doesn't work out that way. And so it hurts the timing of the play, it hurts how you set the pocket of it. But the thing I was pointing out was oftentimes quarterbacks will catch the football and they find themselves getting the back of the pocket and they never square up their shoulders. And if you don't square up your shoulders, you're not going to be, you know, forced to climb up in back into the pocket and then maintain the ability to still throw down the field and anyway, left, right, what have you. Whether you're right handed or left handed, once you turn your hips and your shoulders parallel to the line of scrimmage, you're really limiting where you can throw the football downfield because physically it's difficult to contort your body and throw all arm to the right side, for example, if you're a right handed quarterback or the left side if you're a left handed quarterback. And so, and then you naturally, when the way you see the rush is you want to run left or right, you don't want to step up into it. So it's just something that I think has happened over the course of, I don't know, the past decade or so where so many quarterbacks now are growing up playing shotgun that they don't have this natural sense for how to navigate the pocket. And it takes drill work and it takes time for these guys to learn how to do it.
- [37:12]
A
Yeah, and I saw that with Shador Sanders when, when you're in, in the gun, it feels like you're going to scramble out instead of move up in the pocket. It's rare when these young quarterbacks move up in the pocket. They're used to escaping, I think. And Montana told me this years ago, he said, I loved being under center because it allowed me to watch everything unfold and I could see everything in real time. I got back to the pocket and I, I had a better sense of where I was and, and then I could move up in the pocket and I feels like these guys are already back there and then they're going to try to, you know, be an escape artist. And that's what Shador's gotten in trouble with, Caleb's gotten in trouble with. And I don't know how Cam is going to do or Jackson dart, but it feels like they've all been taught kind of the same thing.
- [38:01]
B
The best way I describe it is if you look at boxers, for example, on how they navigate the ring, it's very similar for the footwork for a quarterback because when you get back there, you're really setting up because you're delivering that overhand right. So every movement you make should still keep you in a position to be able to make that overhand right or that throw. I say overhand right in my case because I'm right handed. And so that's where if you watch a boxer like they never are Facing each other really directly with their shoulders parallel. You know, usually they're, they're turned a little bit so they can get torque and they can throw that overhand right for the knockout punch when they need to. And, and so that's why, like, I, I cross trained with some boxing when I was younger, obviously, because I felt like it was, it was great to keep you in shape, but also it's very applicable for the way you navigate and move through the pocket. And you had to get kind of get used to that. And so look, again, it's something that you can work on, you can drill out, but it does take some time to kind of, you know, I guess reinvent, you know, some of your, your sense of timing and footwork within the pocket, even from shotgun. But it just, it takes time and getting a lot of practice at it.
- [39:02]
A
What do you expect with Notre Dame, Miami, Sunday night?
- [39:06]
B
Yeah, I'm not sure what to expect from Miami. You know, they've got so many new players. I think I counted five new starters on defense. Corey Heatherman's taken over as their defensive coordinator because they really struggled defensively last year. Carson Beck steps in as quarterback, which, look, two years ago he was phenomenal. I really thought last year at Georgia he would play well enough to put himself in the position to be a top 10 pick. And it just, it didn't work out that way and he transfers and now you got to learn a new system. You have to develop chemistry with new pass catchers. That's not easy to do. So knowing Mario Cristobal and he's got that O line background, you know, I think he doesn't mind making this like a battle in the trenches. And I think Marcus Freeman loves that because that plays right into Notre Dame's hand. Their defense is going to be stout, 21 of the best in college football. We've got the best running back in the country and Jeremiah Love and everyone, like a lot of people forget, Jarian Price is a damn good back, too. You know, Little Williams, too, played as a freshman last year with those two. So they're going to be able to run the football. I think this is a low scoring game and I think it's one. It's going to be a battle, and it's probably going to come down to which team can kind of limit their mistakes. And I think, honestly, C.J. carr, who's got all the talent, ability in the world, you know, he just has to make enough big throws and enough conversions on third down to allow Notre Dame to take care of business, which I think they will do.
- [40:23]
A
Who has more wins this year, the Patriots or North Carolina Football?
- [40:29]
B
Yeah, it's funny, like outside of Clemson, the acc, I think UNC can make a pretty good case for. For making a run. Is that that next team to keep an eye on? So I'll say they can probably get to nine. It's gonna be close. I mean, I'm a huge Mike Vrabel fan. I love Drake May. I love everything they've done with that roster. I think they're gonna finish second in the division this year. So I think that'll net them somewhere around 9, 10 wins. So I'm actually gonna go on to say I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with the Patriots.
- [41:00]
A
Okay.
- [41:01]
B
I think they're a 10 win team. I think UNC somewhere in that 8, 9 win ballpark.
- [41:06]
A
Good to talk to you. Safe travels to Columbus and thanks for joining us as always.
- [41:10]
B
I'm just hoping to get credentials so I get in the stadium. Like that's what I'm really.
- [41:14]
A
Will you get. Will you get booed there?
- [41:18]
B
Well, I get booed. I don't know if I would necessarily will get booed. I don't know that there's other people.
- [41:26]
A
Is Dave Portnoy. Is Dave. Dave Porto.
- [41:31]
B
We do a lot of charity work with Ohio State. I was like, we were donating thousands a year to that school. I was like, I hope they don't boo us. We'll see.
- [41:38]
A
Leonard will get booed as he should.
- [41:41]
B
As he probably should now. Now Mark Ingram will never get booed because Mark is like the people's champ. Like Mark is. He is the party that, like wherever you need to go, where you need to bring up the vibes, like, Mark is the guy to do it. And obviously coach won't. I mean, they love coach. You know, coach won him a national championship, so he's in good standing. I, you know, there's some other folks that could get dicey.
- [42:03]
A
Is Dave Portnoy going to be there with you?
- [42:05]
B
He will be in Columbus. Yes. And on the show, you know, as far as where he'll be, I can't divulge that information.
- [42:12]
A
I'm guessing he won't be in the stadium.
- [42:15]
B
I don't know.
- [42:16]
A
You never know.
- [42:16]
B
I mean, that would be one of the all time great.
- [42:19]
A
Yeah.
- [42:19]
B
I mean, you know, you saw the Michigan win last year. Maybe he finds his way into the stadium.
- [42:23]
A
Who knows?
- [42:24]
B
I can't say.

Anyone who loves music with saloved over something like this. The biggest question for us was, what's in these boxes? There were a few unplayed gems that we had been alerted to by Charlie Pinion of Sinatra Enterprises. So we knew that certain songs like Shadow of your Smile, which actually is not on this record, it'll be on the next one.

Frank Sinatra and he said, listen, I'm going to be having dinner with this lovely woman tonight. You know, would you come over and say hi and just cause I feel like if she sees that I know you, it's gonna make me look really cool and you know, I might have a good night. During the middle of dinner, Frank walks over and says, don, hi, how are you? And Don goes, frank, please, I'm in the middle of dinner.

Zooming in. Hi, Shay. Hey, Danny. How you feeling today? Didn't sleep? How did you find out about this trade? And what was the next five minutes like for you? I was actually on a work call and my phone just started blowing up. And then I hung up the phone on the work call. I just quit. I quit. Logged out for the day. Danny, this is. You know. I know. It doesn't make sense. Everybody knows it don't make sense. What really makes me mad is that Jerry Jones thinks we're stupid. He thinks we're dumb. And he thinks that he can sell this concoction of why he did it and how he wants to win now. And trading your best player a week before the game opener is somehow a good idea. And that'll somehow let us win. Now, this is the biggest crop. You know what? And this is all his ego. Danny, this is eGomania.com. you are 82 years old. You're gonna die. You're gonna die real soon. And you ain't gonna have a ring. This is what you get. This is your actions. This is your sinful nature. Is there any upside for the Cowboys? Yeah, they'll have cap space they ain't gonna use. This is my favorite part. Jerry's telling us. Oh, you know, Stephen and I were thinking about in the middle of spring. Oh, yeah, really? That's why you restructure CD and dak. Really? Really? You're gonna trade Micah in the spring? You want And a cheater. And it was apathetic, Danny. Now I'm on a mission. Now I'm crazy again. My meds don't work anymore. I didn't sleep. I double dosed my meds last night, Danny. I double dosed him. The roommate told me to double dose them. I double dosed them and I woke up while the birds were singing. I didn't sleep. Are you more mad or sad? Angry. Angry. We're clipped, Beanie angry. The mendacity coming out of Jerry Jones at that press conference. He lied to us for 17 minutes straight, pretending like, oh, the defensive tackle, who by the way, 30 years old, getting worse contract, getting more expensive. You get two first raiders going to be in late picks, 25 and all this is what you get. And if you were really thinking about it, Danny, you put them on the shopping block in March when teams have time to start moving around their cap space. We all know this. And Jerry just pretends, you're going to die. You're going to die. Do you still want to watch the game together on Thursday? This is the worst part of my life. I have to like. I'm a sick son of a guy. I don't have a choice, Danny. I am the battered wife. I am. I need a support group. I need a sober companion today. I'll tell you that. I need somebody holding onto my pocket telling me not to do it because I am on the edge, brother. I'll talk to you later. Whatever. Danny. Yeah, that's Shay and Irving. Dylan, you might have to be his companion as his friend today. He said sober companion. Well, okay, Todd, you might have to be.
- [51:40]
B
I'll try to cheer him up a little bit.
- [51:41]
A
A couple bad jokes or something. Yeah, yeah. He. He sent a video earlier. The PA Ray, and if you thought that was off the rails. That video was. But. But that's the passion that he has for this. And he's right. Jerry is selling you something. And it's almost when somebody's trying to sell you something, but in the moment they're trying to sell themselves. I thought that Jerry was doing that. Yes. Marvin.

B
I wonder if anybody that's listening to the show right now or watching the show has decided to quit the Cowboys, like, just quit Being a fan, it does.

We joke around about that on this.
- [52:23]
B
Show, but it doesn't work that way. If you're truly invested and truly care about a team, you would never consider quitting. Only a casual fan quits.
- [52:32]

It's tough to do that. And then who are you rooting for? The Eagles, the Commanders, Texans. I don't know.

It goes along with the area code. I mean, that's the zip code that. That's, you know, you sign up for it, you can't. You can't be shocked now. You can't go, okay, that's the last straw. I mean, this has been 30 years now. You've had highs where you make the playoffs, so you get 13 wins and then you crash out in the playoffs, but you cannot. I don't think this comes as a surprise. At least it shouldn't. I mean, there's still the element of shock that they traded him, kept him in the NFC and sent him to a team they're going to play in a month and made them even more of a Super bowl contender.
