When you think about emotion regulation, you're not gonna choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the Psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. We did it. We made it to a Friday football coming up tonight. Last night if I would have said these things are going to happen, you would probably said wait. Guy gets injured on the first play of the game. Then their star defensive player ends up getting tossed for spitting on the quarterback. And the Cowboys look great. CD Lamb looks great in the first half, bad in the second half. Cowboys have a chance to win this game. Jalen Hurts was the best player on the field. And then there's lightning and then there's an hour long delay and somehow the Eagles held on. All of those things happened last night. A lot of things in between we'll discuss. But it's a meat Friday and in case you're wondering, meatball subs, bratwurst, bacon cheeseburgers.

There was a lot to take in last night. I thought that the Cowboys would keep it close. I thought it was going to be a three point game. Ended up a four point game and Dallas probably should have won that game because if you look at the first half back and forth and Dallas was kind of holding its own. No Jalen Carter, they took advantage of that. CD Lamb looked great. You know, it's probably hard to say this, but it's true. CD Lamb had seven catches for 110 yards and didn't have a good game because in the second half he cost them dearly. And coming into this season, he has had four career games with three or more drops. That's more than any player since 2020. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. This is one of those games that if you put it in a time capsule and people go, how good was Jalen Hurts? Now, aside from the Super Bowls. But if you said just a regular season game, let me see something. Let me, let me see why he's a top five quarterback, that would have been the game last night. Because Saquon Barkley was good. AJ Brown, non existent. Devonte Smith had a couple of catches in there. But if I combine all their yards, I don't even think they have a hundred yards total. That was Jalen Hurts. So you have your best defensive player who's out. And he seemed to take over the moment. He did the right thing at the right time. First incompletion was in the second quarter. He played great and he took advantage of the middle of the field when he was running, when he was back to pass and then decided to get out of the pocket and ran for a couple of touchdowns. That was all Jalen Hurts last night, best player on the field. And he's now. I know his odds to win the mvp. I don't even think he's a top five MVP candidate because he's not going to put up incredible numbers. This is a guy who played quarterback last night. This wasn't a guy who was passing. He was a quarterback last night. And this goes with game managing, which I know that there are quarterbacks who think that, you know, this is a disparaging remark and it's not. It's understanding what you need to do. And he did it. If I said game master instead of game manager, is that better? Because that's what this is. To me, that was old school football of I don't care what my numbers are, we're going to win. And he proved that. Whatever you needed him to do last night, he did. And that's what you want out of your quarterback. Now, I've said on record I didn't think he was a great quarterback. I just think he's great for that team. And we're going to hold it against him that he's got maybe the best front office in football. And you got Saquon there. You got an incredible offensive line. You got two good receivers, a good tight end, and it's almost like, yeah, well, Jalen hurts. Kind of had a head start here. He's got a lot of talent around him. Well, so did Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. The best coach in the NFL. A great gm, hall of Fame tight end. Tyree Kill. You had a, you know, good offensive line. Like he had a head start, too. I just. I think we grade Jalen Hurts on a curve that somehow. Yeah, but. Yeah, but watch last night. Yeah, but last night he did what you want your quarterback to do, and it was wonderful to watch. Brilliant, surgical. Yes. Marvin. I think the main reason why it's going to be so tough to him for. For him to win league MVP is because he's going to get dinged for his team being so good. Because somebody's going to say, oh, if I had that team, of course I'd throw 30 touchdowns and rush for 10 touchdowns, too. Yeah, I get it. I don't know if we hold him to the same standards or maybe we hold him to a higher standard than we do other players. You know, Josh Allen. We don't talk about anybody around Josh Allen. It's just Josh Allen being Josh Allen. Lamar Jackson now has Derek Henry and he's won two MVPs. But you start, you know, Joe Burrow. Well, he doesn't have a defense. Well, he does have maybe the best wide receiving core in the NFL. But we look at Jalen Hurts differently because this is a stats driven league. Stats driven award. And. And it's not to say that Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen didn't have wonderful years. I'm just talking about value. And I think you could say this with all sincerity. You get to the playoffs, give me. How many quarterbacks would you take over? Jalen hurts in the playoffs, okay? Because that's where I see real value. Regular season, okay? Lamar is going to be great. Josh Allen's going to be great. Joe Burrow is going to be great. How many of those quarterbacks are you taking over? Jalen hurts. You're going to take Mahomes. I'm. I might take Josh Allen. Josh Allen's been a good performer in the postseason. He hasn't been able to get by Kansas City. We've seen Joe Burrow make a Run Lamar Jackson. I'm not taking Lamar Jackson over him. Run down the list of other quarterbacks there. I'm probably going to have Mahomes and then Jaylen Herz. Jaden Daniels hadn't shown me enough yet. CJ Stroud hadn't shown me enough yet. I mean, this is a guy who outplayed Mahomes in two Super Bowls. He won one, but he outplayed him. He could have two Super Bowls, two MVPs. If you look at what he. He did in those Super Bowls, I know it's high praise, hyperbole, probably overreaction, but I did see, I like it. It almost felt like the game was slowing down for him. He just saw everything in a different way. And sometimes it, you know, crystallizes with quarterbacks, you know, your, your first year or second or third or fourth. But if you look, and Chris Collinsworth brought this up, the guy plays for championships, whether it's, you know, college or the NFL. He's in championship moments there. And it didn't seem too big last night. And his demeanor doesn't change. He is pretty cool, and it was on display last night. Now the headlines will be, what happened to start the game when Jalen Carter spit on Dak Prescott? And I, I, you know, you got to have context with this now. It doesn't. I'm not exonerating Jalen Carter in the moment. I didn't have any context. Nobody did because I didn't know that Dak Prescott was spitting when he was in the huddle. You know, they're waiting for the, you know, the, the official has to say, all right, you can break the huddle now. We can get started. And Jaylen Carter is probably five feet away, maybe from Dak Prescott. And maybe his interpretation was, wait a minute, he's spitting an hour direction, and then Jaylen Carter comes over, and then all of a sudden you see him spit on Dak Prescott. Yes. Yeah, the, the thing that does make that a little funny is they're clearly drawn at each other, I think, because Jalen Carter is all by himself waiting there. And Dak walks four or five yards in order to spit between those two. His two teammates. Yeah. So it's not like he was just standing there and spit. Dak walks almost five full yards. That's further than you think, in order to spit between those guys when he could have just spit right at his own feet. Instead he walked and approached him. That some of the video does start to make it look like there was a lot more going on there. Here is Dak talking about the spitting incident. I was right here by the two linemen, and guess I needed to spit. And I wasn't gonna spin on my lineman. I just spit ahead. But I would say he was back there where Jory was in that sense. And he asked. Or he goes, you trying to spin on me? And at that point, I mean, I felt like, like, like he was insulting me. Like, I. I don't. I wouldn't spit on somebody. I'm damn sure not trying to spit on you. Like, we're about to play a game. I'm was wondering why you're trying to mess with the rookie. And so when I stepped through, I actually say the words, like, what the hell would I. Excuse me, but I'm probably even more colorful. What would I need to spin on you for? And he just spit on me in that moment, and it was more of a surprise than anything. Refs obviously saw it through the flag. I was like, hell, yeah. We get 15 yards to start the game off, and the ref is right there. Really easy call. I mean, Dak kind of goes, hello, he just spit on me. Here's Jalen Carter talking about his side of the story. You know, it was a mistake that happened on my side. My side. It just won't happen again. So I feel bad for just my teammates and the fans out there. You know, I'm doing it for them. You know, I'm done for my family also. But the fans, you know, they show the most love, you heard in my day today, you know, just not being able to finish the. Start the game, even finish the game. Getting better when I have to get. Okay. The NFL has placed a large emphasis this year and that this was a topic in the off season with teams and players, respect for the opponent, that's a big factor. Ross Tucker was doing the game with on Westwood One talked about that as well. It's a really, really big point of emphasis. So the next question will be, will Jalen Carter be suspended? And I think. I think given the context of this now, once again, he got suspended for the entire game, and I think the league may factor that in. Now, do they find him? I would be surprised if they suspend him for another game. If he did this in the second half of the game last night, then maybe he would be suspended for the following game, but he got suspended. Now, in my opinion, it might be a fine, but I would be surprised if they're going to suspend him again. Doesn't exonerate him for what he did. I understand what he's doing in the moment. And it. And it. Once. You got to give these things context, because obviously you see at the moment. And I'm going, why would he spit on him to start this season? And. And once again, these guys are hyped up. They've been in the locker room. They're ready to go. It's opening night, banner night, playing the Cowboys, ready to go. Wait, are you spitting at me? And then he approaches Dak, and then all of a sudden, he gets tossed. What a wild start to the game. Wild start. Yeah. Paulie. I'd barely even settle down. I don't really even have the sound up. And I see a flag going there. I'm like, did they run a play? And. And it was like that scene in Slap Shot, the hockey movie, where the guy punches the other guy during the national anthem. How is the flag going on before the game started? Philadelphia is lucky to get a win. Really lucky. Now, I always look at these losses at the beginning of the year. We tend to look at losses at the end of the year. Remember when. What I said on that Monday morning when the Bengals lost to the Patriots? I said, that's the kind of loss that comes back and keeps you out of the playoffs. And that's exactly what happened. You're going to have sloppy football this week and probably next week because most of these players haven't played. And if they have, it's just a little bit. And last night was kind of sloppy, or as Paulie would say, choppy. But I thought Dallas did enough to win that game. I just didn't understand why there wasn't. And I'm sure Dallas had a spy on Jalen Hurts. He didn't do. I mean, he wasn't James Bond. I mean, he didn't do a very good job. He was really good at hiding the fact that he was the spy on Jalen Hurts, because Jalen Hurts felt like he had. He had room to run. And this wasn't a tush push. He was able to, you know, score legitimate touchdowns. But Saquon, he played okay. A.J. brown had a couple of targets. Devonte Smith. Dallas Goddard had some catches there, but this was one of those games where, if I'm Dallas and Brian Schottenheimer, that's his first NFL game as a head coach, and I thought he did a pretty good job. I thought they made enough plays to win that game, and that's one of those. If they had stolen that game, man, what would we be talking about? Yeah, Seaton, last night, watching the Eagles it was kind of like a perfect example to me of why you need name brand players at skill position, at the skill positions because you can't. Saquon Barkley is, is a name brand. Right. And he's a guy. I thought he looked great. Right. You have two superstar caliber wide receivers. You can't. And then plus you have Jalen Hurts who was killing him last night. How are you going to cover everybody? You kind of can't. That's to me it was like the ultimate view again into like this is why you pay people. This is why you have stars at those positions. We'll get to phone calls, we'll settle on a poll question all of that forthcoming South Palantonio, he was there last night in Philadelphia. He'll join us and the NFL Network analyst Steve Smith Sr. Will join us a little bit later on as well. Just settling in on this meet Friday. We'll take a break. We're back after this DAN PATRICK Show.

Hey, this is Matt Jones and I'm Drew Franklin and this is NFL Cover Zero. We think NFL coverage should be informative and entertaining and twice a week that is exactly what you're gonna get. We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different. Did you see the Colts pretzel? That was my other big takeaway from that game. What was that? Looks like something that should not be sold. Oh my. So that was my other big Colts takeaway. They sold that? Yes. I might want to go back at the Colt Stadium. Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that. Yeah. I thought the shape we had with pretzels was working pretty well. It's worked for generations. We're just here trying to enjoy it. We hope you all will join us throughout the year. And let's go. I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age. He's a young 73. He is a young 73. He is spry. I wouldn't fight him.

You and Fritzy need to stop complaining. There's too much football. Oh, I don't know if I can watch another game tonight. Really? We have to pace ourselves a little bit. We just had a game a couple of days. We got. There's gonna be so many months of games and staying up latent for prime time east coast. Okay, you don't have to. Yes, you don't. I mean, I'll watch Marvin a watch. Satan will watch other people watch for you. You don't want to miss anything. I know, but. Oh, I. When I hear you and Paulie going, I don't know, it's just too much football. I go, it's like, can there ever be too much pizza? Too much beer?

In fact, Dylan was there at the game and he had a rapid radio so we could stay in touch with him. I did watch the game last night here, at least up until the Lightning. Marvin was here, Paulie did a cameo and Shay and Irving. We sat down and we watched the game and we put some clips up there. I can't trust Shay. I, I can't trust what he's going to say. So we couldn't do it live, but we did put up some clip. It was fun. And that was@danpatrick.com but we watched, I don't know, till around 10:30 or so until the lightning. And I thought, all right, this is a good time to say goodbye. And Shea was in a decent mood because the Cowboys, they were maybe trailing by one or it was close and he felt pretty good, like almost a moral victory. But you know, he had his moments where I think he's going to call in, but he had his moments. Now he's not drinking anymore, not doing anything anymore. He had a cigar and he had a diet soda. Also we had hot dogs at 9:40 last night. I'm going, I got my great cigar, some tequila. And then Big Day Ray, he is our producer on the gambling podcast Big Day Ray came out with hot dogs and we had some of the Grippo's potato chips last night too. It's like, what a mess. You know, you look back, I came in today, you know when you have a party and then you don't realize what the party looked like or felt like, and then you see the leftovers, the mess, and then you go, damn, somebody had a good time last night. And it was, we're going to do it again. I think Nick wright, Nick Wright FaceTimed me and he said, hey, why didn't you invite me? And I go, next time maybe at the end of the month when the packers play the Cowboys, that's a Sunday night game and maybe we'll have a viewing party. But I, I, I. Everybody was saying, why aren't you doing this live? I, I can't, you know, as much as Shay said, hey, you can trust me. But even when we're watching last night, Marvin, you were there as the lifeguard. I can't have Shay live. It wasn't even sometimes the profanity. It was just other things. He would say, like, ooh, we cannot have a. No way. Just the way. So Ray was taking. He was shooting, content with his phone, and Shay would say something and he's like, can't use that. Yeah, I know. There's four different times where Ray said, can't use that. Yeah, can't use that. Satan. What's poll question. First hour of the program. Is doing a live stream with Shay a good idea? Well, it's a good idea, but it's also a dangerous idea. There was a lot of entertainment there last night, a lot of laughs. And I just saw the big German and he goes, is that an act with Shay? And I go, no, it's not an act. That is. That is who he is. It's an act in that he's toning down who he really is. Yes, that's actually the. But some of the references. And then I'll go, you can't say that. I can, Danny. I go, no, not on this show. You can't do that. All right. Like, he'd be mad at me that all of a sudden I'm saying there's certain things you. I was the. The editing police there last night. Like, no, we're not doing that. All right, so poll question. Seaton. Jalen Carter should be suspended further or not. Okay. Todd. He should not be suspended further based on the context of if he believed Dak Prescott was spitting at Satan. No, definitely not. Marvin? No, Paul. No, it's good. Yeah. He's already been suspended for a game. Could this be the first 100% poll question? Oh, no, no, no. In. In this room, maybe, but, you know, with the audience. No, because you're going to have cowboy fans who say, yeah, you know, you should be out and find. And Steven in Michigan. Hi, Steve. What's on your mind today? Thanks for joining us. Hi there, Dan. Five, eight, parachute 200. And I was just thinking, because, you know, I know it's football and they hit each other, but spitting is something totally different. Can transmit diseases. And that's why it's assault or battery. So I would think at least another game would be something that they should look at. Well, you know, once again, the emphasis on sportsmanship. You did it right in front of an official. I don't know if NBC, when they showed the Dak Prescott angle. Marvin, do you remember if they showed that. They didn't show it in the first quarter. I don't think there was any context Whatsoever. But I don't know if NBC then went back and said, you know what we should look at. What is Dax saying? Or was anything that led up to this, like, well, I'm looking at the monitor now. Yeah, because you see Dak, and the first thing I thought of is what could have set Jalen Carter off. There had to be words. That's what I thought. But, you know, words, you'll get flag spit, you'll get tossed. Jamie in Virginia Beach. Hi, Jamie. Hey, Dan. Thanks for having me. 59191. Yeah, I just. I just want to go back to your take on Jalen Carter spitting on, you know, the face of the NFL. Pretty much what you had there is you had kids, young football players, athletes, grandparents, everybody watching that football game, and nobody saw what took place before Jalen Carter decided that he was going to spit on Dak Prescott. And, you know, I'm not a Cowboys fan. I'm a Detroit Lions fan. So what I saw right there was egregious. And one, you know, one game to me isn't enough. Minimum one game with a hefty fine. Yeah, I wonder if he'll be fined. He's already been suspended a game. But I wonder if maybe, you know, they come down hard on him, you know, maybe take away a game check. I don't know. But there is a real emphasis this year. Yeah, I always hated when a guy did something and then stood over somebody. Like, to me, I, I would take my foot and go right up into your crotch. If you're going to do that to me, like, you're not. You're not going to do that. You may have tackled me. You may have knocked the ball loose. You may have humiliated me in a football play, but you will not do that. And that's. They, they have to get rid of these things. And if you watch youth football, they're doing all this stuff, you know, they're doing the bow and arrow when they score. And I mean, it's. They emulate. They see this. You see this in baseball, Little League, World Series. They want to act like they're a major leaguer. They're idle. We see this in basketball. Everybody wants to shoot at three and then turn around like Steph Curry does. And then in football, you know, you're taunting. You can't do the gun signal. You can't do that song. There's certain things, and you really have to crack down on this. If it's that important, then be consistent the entire season, because if you take away money, it's One thing, if you take away games, that's something completely different. Former players have said, hey, if you find me okay, but if all of a sudden you take me away from my team now, that. That's really damaging. Doug in North Carolina. Hi, Doug. I gotta tell you, I disagree with you. I think, to me, I know everyone wants to talk about Jalen Carter, but to me, the worst part of that game was that taunting call in the first half where somebody just flexed for a moment, a split second in time, and it was a 15 yard penalty. And that's going to happen all season long. Yeah, but I. That's not. That. That's not really taunting to me, Doug. I mean, they're. They're not all created equal here. There's. There's ones that are over the top that I think we can all agree. There's other ones where you're, you know, inciting the crowd. I. I'm fine with those things. Do you think, what, the penalty yesterday was justified? No. Do you think. Of all things, now that we've seen the other side and the other angle that Dak Prescott was guilty of taunting Jalen Carter, to me, that was clear taunting. I would say baiting. I would say baiting him. Now, Dax says he spits a thousand times a game. He didn't want to spit on his teammates. Okay. Like, I'm gonna take him at his word here. Like, why would I want to upset Jalen Carter? I. Unless I think he's somebody I can bait. But thanks for the phone call, Doug. I. I like excitement. I like celebration. But then we always go overboard. Always. Yes, I think that there is. There's an element of taunting that is great for the game. Okay. There's you. You can't ask people to play a game like that, that's that physical, and ask them to be that fired up, that ramped up. Go out there and throw your body, get into a car crash every play. Like, do all of this stuff. And then as soon as you're done with that car crash, just calmly walk away, back to your huddle, and then don't do it. I get that there's a line. I do. But there is some element of it that's good for the game. Yeah, but it's a. It's a selfish moment. Go back in. In time with the NFL. Now, you did have sack dances, but I can't remember if, you know, you had these linebacker who's gonna, you know, Jack Lambert's gonna stand over you and taunt you. It felt like I've Already won because I got you on the ground or you fumbled the ball or you threw an interception. It's just some of the other stuff is just, hey, notice me. I'm on camera. I did something I'm paid to do. Look at me. Yes. The icky shuffle was awesome. That wasn't taunting. Of course it was. Well, if he did it in somebody's face. Yeah, but he's still. He's still. He did it towards the crowd. Whatever. It's still. It's still. If I was the player who just got beat looking at that, I would be like, dang, that sucks. But. But it was fun. It's fun. I get there's. Obviously you can't spit at people, but that's a celebration that, like, you did something, you're celebrating with the crowd there, not over somebody. I just don't like that I. I stand over you. The flexing thing, to me, it's a non call. And I like when they do, you know, you should celebrate if you did something. I like the joy that you have, but do you have to celebrate everything you do? That's what it feels like. It wasn't the one. I mean, he really just got a hand on an ankle and tripped dude up. That's not exact like. Like, if I was out there and did that, they'd be like, man, you got really lucky. Let's do. That's not exactly a flexing moment where you walk over somebody. Like, that's right, I tripped you. It's kind of. That's the lame part, actually, is that it wasn't even a good hit or anything. It wasn't even a hit. If. If there's times for everything, it. It shouldn't be. It's always time. That's right, baby. I'm gonna be tripping you all day. All day. That's right. Yes, Tom. What? Michael Irvin would signal for the first down after a catch, but I don't think he really ever did it in anyone's face. Not intentionally. Maybe the defender was in the ballpark, but should they have thrown taunting flags for that? When he was saying Michael Irving, he didn't. Did I say Irving? No, no, no. Sorry. That just came out funny for me. That dude, he taunted everybody. The whole point of the first down thing was to taunt people. I could see it as like the look at me thing, and he's celebrating the first down, but I don't think he ever, like, pointed out the first down in a defender's face or helmet or something like that. Unless Maybe I missed some of those eyelids. Yes, Paul, I think this has gone on forever. If you watch old NFL films of Dick Buckus and different players and the Raiders and Lyle Alzado, they were taunting, but there was no social media to amplify the taunting. And it didn't become a focal point, a discussion point, because you saw it once and you never saw it again. Now when there's taunts, a lot of the social media sites use that stuff because it's really good and gets clicks. Aiden in Utah. Hi, Aiden. Hey, good morning, dp. Hey, bud. I want to debut a new segment this year called Most Unwatchable Game of the Weekend. Now, fortunately for the NFL, it's week one, so we're probably all gonna watch them anyways because we're hungry for football. But I got three candidates, okay, we got Cardinals and Saints, terrible. We got Dolphins at Colts, terrible. And we also got a jack to play somebody, I forgot who. But that's also irrelevant. Panthers. Panthers. Yep, there we go. Okay, so we have a. Apparently a new segment called the Most Irrelevant game of the Weekend brought to you by. We do have the worst matchup of the weekend. We've done that before. The worst game of the weekend. Todd, your most irrelevant game of the weekend is brought to you by. Yeah, Paul, but sometimes those games of two subpar teams are close and have a good fourth quarter. And sometimes the heavyweight games, it could be a blowout. But if the Colts won that game, is that interesting? If Danny Dimes plays well, is that interesting? Kind of. Right? I mean, once again, you're telling me not to watch games that I normally go out of my way to watch. Because if the Bengals lose to the Browns. Right. I got my attention there. Now there are matchups where you go, okay, Arizona against the Saints. Well, I'm curious about, is this the year for Arizona? Do they make the playoffs this year? I would be watching that. I'm curious. Spencer Rattler, who is from Arizona, plays for New Orleans. I'm curious. And does Tyler Schuck get in the game? You know, so I have to build in storylines sometimes. But I'm the guy who does watch late night games and probably nobody else is watching them or it's not Must see tv. Yeah, Paul, but Panthers, Jaguars has Travis Hunter and that's employment programming to see him play both ways to start the season. And I want to see what Liam Cohen does with his quarterback. Like, I, I think it's really a big deal. Bryce Young, we saw him at the end of the season. He played see I. I'm going to watch and. But I write my own storylines here. Yes, Todd, if you're writing the promo to hype up Cardinal Saints, where do you start? Where do you end? How short or long is that? Well, there's the curiosity. I'm going to have Kyler Murray. I don't know who I'm going to prop up for the Saints. Here you go again. Here you go again. Always got to bash the Saints. Okay. I say no. Right. You're right. Because you never do that. Right. Right. Got it. Okay, that's it. Done with this city. The city of New Orleans. That's what I do. Yes, Paulie, when you don't have a player to pub up in the promo, you do the city, the Cardinals and Kyler Murray go to the Big Easy. Yeah. Will it be Big Easy? Cardinal Saints next. Yes, Todd in the French Quarter. It's all happening on Bourbon Street. Here comes Kyler in the cards. Alvin Kamara. Yes, he's still around. He wasn't arrested in the off season. Alvin Kamara and the Saints host the Cardinals in the pigeasy. Kyler Murray comes to town. Can he hold on to his starting spot? Find out. Question mark. All right, let me take a break.

We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different. Did you see the Colts pretzel? That was my other big takeaway from that game. What was that? Looks like something that should not be sold. Oh, my. So that was my other big Colts takeaway. They sold that? Yes. I might want to go back to the Colt Stadium. Yeah. Might want to go back to the drawing board on that. Yeah. I thought the shape we had with pretzels was working pretty well. It's worked for generations. We're just here trying to enjoy it. We hope you all will join us throughout the year. And let's go. I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age. He's a young 73. He is a young 73. He is spry. I wouldn't fight him.

Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part. When you pay down those credit cards, if you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union. Shopping around online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt and it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it's make it even worse. For more judgment, free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dan, he's Ty. Hello.

Touchdown, Jalen Hurts. Now sometimes you just gotta do it yourself. That's courtesy of the Eagles Radio Network. Jalen Hurts has 16 career games with multiple rushing touchdowns, most by any NFL quarterback and second most of any active NFL player. Only Derrick Henry with 27, has more. That's your play of the day. Play of the Day brought to you by tlc. The TLC that you get from Mako. They bring your car back to life with affordable paint jobs, light collision repairs. Get a free estimate today. Oh, better get Mako. Update the poll results if you can. Seaton? Yep, sure can. Should Jalen Carter be suspended further or was last night enough? Right now it is an overwhelming. Last night was enough. But it's still pretty early. Okay? Still pretty early. Dak Prescott's not an innocent party here. He's not. Because if you look, and we've been analyzing this. If I look at where Dak is when this incident starts, he's probably seven to eight yards away from Jalen Carter, and they're clearly jawing. And then, you know, you have Dax saying, hey, I. I didn't want to spit on my teammate, so I kind of, you know, was walking past them, and then I spit, you know, down in the direction of, you know, Jalen Carter. But Carter's, you know, five yards, six yards away. There's ample opportunity for Dak Prescott to spit if he wants to before he gets to his teammates. They're jawing. They're going back and forth. He ha. He spits. He winks at Jalen Carter, and then that's when Jalen Carter is, you know, reading more into this. Like, wait a minute. Are you spitting in my direction now? Once again, Jalen Carter has been punished, deserved to be thrown out of the game. Dak Prescott is not an innocent party here. If you look at the video, he is not. He is engaging with Jalen Carter. He walks past his lineman and then spits. Now he's not spitting at Jalen Carter. He's spitting down. I don't. I mean, does this help Jalen Carter? Maybe it just puts it into context of, yes, I was wrong. This set me off. But he's not an innocent party here. Yeah, pulling. What hurts Carter as well is as they're jawing and getting towards each other, the refs are waiting for the signal to. Let's roll it. The ref starts coming towards the huddle to see what's going on, and the ref shows up just in time to see the incident. Yeah, you're right. Let's see. Ryan in Michigan. Hi, Ryan. Hey, good morning, Dan. Thanks for having me. 6 foot 1. 75. I just had two comments, and then I was gonna hang up and listen. I feel like a lot of people went to bed last night and didn't see the end of the game. If the Jalen Carter incident doesn't happen, are we talking about two big drops by CD Lam. I mean, they were literally extended handoffs. And the second comment or question. If Bryce Underwood goes into Norman Saturday and plays a dragon, are we Trevor Lawrence? Are we Vince Young? I'll hang up and listen. All right, I'm. I'm. I'm gonna wait to watch Bryce play a little bit. Oklahoma is a good quarterback of their own, but, yeah, I don't start the hype train. Yeah, I don't. Bryce Underwood's good, but he should be. They spent A lot of money on him. Shay and Irving joining us. We had the watch party last night. Shay, of course, was front and center. Marvin was there. Paulie was there. How do you feel today, Shay? Disgusted with myself. What? Why? Danny? I really thought we had a shot last night to win the game. I really did. I had a feeling. It was strange, it was foreign, it was abnormal. But I recognized it later as optimism. And I thought that the Cowboys and the new head coach and the new all pro defensive tackle were going to really do something for me. And what I got was reality. In the end, I got struck down to size and back to my own depressed Cowboys fandom. But they had a chance to win. Several, Danny. Several. CD Dropping balls, that's almost impossible to think about. And stopping the run, I guess, means only giving up 158 on the ground and letting Jalen run for two freaking touchdowns. I feel like a fool. You can't get that many chances to win the game in the fourth quarter and come up empty. Emptier than an AA meeting on New Year's Eve. Danny, it was nothing. There. You had optimism. You didn't think you had that. I had that. You. You. You showed up and I said, they're going to keep it close. I thought it would be a three point game. I thought you were doubting. And then all of a sudden, maybe this is what is bothering you. They brought you in, they gave you hope, they. They toyed with you and then they acted the way you thought they would. Exactly. It's like a Ponzi scheme. Danny. I'm like looking at returns on a piece of paper and I'm thinking, I'm rich and it's making so much money and my best friend's name, Bernie Madoff, and we're all going to live in peace and harmony in some Caribbean island. And then the rug gets pulled and the DOJ kicks in the door and I'm broke and penniless. Are we going to do another watch party again? You might be my bad luck charm. I don't know. Oh, okay. I didn't drop the ball. No. How does CD do that? Like, what happened? Was that the gloves, Danny? How does that happen? That's never happened before. Maybe after the lightning and the rain. You know what I told you about God stopping that game? I told you the Cowboys were on a roll and he stopped the game. I told you there was something there, Danny. You did, you did. But I thought God liked the Cowboys member the stadium and he gets to look down on the Cowboys. I think Jerry Jones. I've told you this before. I think he signed a deal with the devil. And this is God punishing him and everybody else for the rings that he got in the 90s. There needs to be an exorcism, Danny. Thank you, Shay. Whatever. All right. He did say, he goes, this is God, God punishing us. The lightning to stop this game. I said, wow, that's a, that's a deep reference there. Alrighty. Coming up, we'll talk Salantonio. He was there. Get his thoughts on what exactly happened last night. And the brilliant play of Jalen hurts. One hour in the books. Two more to go on this meet Friday. It's Todd, it's Seton, it's Marv, it's Paulie.

This September at the psychology of your 20s, we're breaking down the very interesting ways psychology applies to real life, like why we crave external validation. I find it so interesting that we are so quick to believe others judgments of us and not our own judgment of ourselves. So according to the study, not being liked actually creates similar pain levels as is real life physical pain.
