Welcome to the skipping Shannon undisputed podcast I'm joy Taylor you can catch us monday through friday at nine thirty a.m. eastern 630 specifics on fs1 use the podcast is all about it's an unencrypted unfiltered undisputed version of the day show and there is a lot to get into in today's podcast if it's still convinced that his cowboy to beat the new york football giants and the third time will be the charm and jerrys world cannon says right now he gets a man charged in a slight edge over LeBron in the NBA MVP race what you out what Parker gives us sales advice on dallas cowboys merchandise to explain why they are not American scene fs1 NFL analyst card upside to preview the seahawks chances to get through the NFC plus Fox Sports NBA analyst Christmas cards in studio to tell us how Kyle Korver to the cabs with more pressure on King James to win and my clothes matter problems with the Warriors given Shannon let's debate in the NFL the Giants job with a lambo for Sunday's wildcard matchup against the packers on Fox elion Giants have won their last five playoff games and two of those games were at Lambeau the packers won six straight to get into the playoffs and in those games aaron rodgers through 15 touchdown and no pick Shannon who and you know you up when you look at the game the Giants have not won a game which they allowed 24 points or more the package of scored at least 24 points and all of the games except for if you look at this hot streak that the packaging aaron rodgers have been on they have been averaging about 31 points game so if you look at the Giants the Giants strong food defense the back of strong for his office let's just say for the sake of argument there wash now you've got to turn to Eli and that offense against the packers defense packers I mean the giant school filled with that they don't score and I believe going on the road and I know everybody want to have revision of history remember what happened in 2007 you know what happened in 2011 well a lot of these characters but only Eli really still there i got the pack because i believe they get to that magic number of 24 points and if you look at the Giants office their inability to consistently run the football they're basically a 122 big plating and that normally that big plate and normally come from Odell Beckham um I don't like the Giants offensive line I think clay matthews look good over the last month.
He's looking like most self and though tackles for the giant our problem i think clay Matthew have once back forced fumble they win this game 2014 and move on.
We were simple as that simple as that Aaron Rodgers NDP right know your life no okay Matt Ryan movie had a case on that too.
No you do not that's not funny joy and shannon sharpe I said sitting in this chair last Monday that the giants win this game then I said on wednesday i am starting to change my mind about the giants winning this game and now i have officially changed my mind i don't care how much the Giants tried to defuse it I still today it was a really bad time that that all those receivers went to Miami for their off days not bye week for their off day I just think it sends the wrong signal that this team is committed to going up to lambeau field to win a playoff game i think the defense is committed but I'm not so sure about an office that as you point out is 26 in the NFL and points scored 26 and if we're talking about a perennial playoff team here between had been there and done that repeatedly a team like the patriots who knew how what what it takes to get ready for a game up on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field I'd say well maybe they get it maybe this is their way of defusing and then getting ready again this team has missed the playoffs the last four years i remind everyone right and they've missed about playoffs have the new york football giants six of the last seven years so Odell has accomplished exactly what in the National Football League how about here nothing right this is how about nothing.
That group of receivers Victor Cruz is part of that but if it's still in the main those guys who went to Miami have accomplished relatively nothing in the National Football League and so you're going to prepare for a game that the high in green bay on Sundays 15 degrees the lowest 11 so sometime in that game and it's sort of about half of two-thirds of its going to be at night after sundown.
It's going to get like 12 11 degrees right and you're gonna go prepare for that game by staying up all night and then winding-up basking in the Sun on a yacht in my are you kid I've never heard of anything like this before this is way beyond Romo and women and Jessica and Layton Jason Williams wife going to Cabo San Lucas on a bye week at least that with a bye week I I just can't get over this because baby dress appropriate they have on people from anyone thinks it's going to hold in my arms go but Eli is going to need all the help you can get I don't need to try to make jokes and diffuse it but Eli is eight in one in the postseason but you realize it's been five years since he played a playoff game work that ill-fated Super Bowl against Tom Brady the second one feel ya ill-fated eli manning this year is 2050 in QB our 25th he's all the way down there tied with Carson wins and Trevor Simeon and Brock Osweiler is above Eli Manning in overall qbr for this season so let's keep this all in some perspective here I respect the defense i've been respect the fact that they have adopted a new nickname for the defensive back in ypd is in new york casts defense but i'm going to give the receivers a new name nickname they are the yacht club that's what they are they are that yacht club because they go to Miami to prepare for lambeau field and I want to see the yacht club go up and when at Lambeau because i don't think they can which unfortunately brings me the aaron rodgers I I can't argue against him this time I'm sorry I do think he's going to win the Indy tu you may have inside information I don't have any is that it will make you a little too kind i want a better case something out there also.
Going on I know USA Today had a survey this morning where they state that you're going all.
Yeah i would be redistributed okay yeah haha but he's the hottest quarterback for this stretch we've ever seen and tell me he's gonna win MVP in my opinion off a six-game streak at the end of the year so let's see Tom Brady played 12 games this year and aaron rodgers really only played six games but I don't have the mathworks two plus two equals five I don't know but whatever I I think he's made a strong NDP case of late and I don't see how the Giants even as terrific as they've been on defense can hold him under 28 points so i think he will score 28 again will Janoris with the user the handcuffs on Jordy Willie many might but I think you're Rogers will throw four touchdown passes to jared cook and our aerial cob and John ammo and who else done this devonte that those would be four touchdown passes and I think raquel chiel bang away and ty Montgomery will have a few nice written / runs because they've got a little bit of running game going into your point that defense has started to come alive around a clay matthews who's playing with a really good that torn up shoulder it looks like but he probably gets injected and he has been wreaking havoc of late so I I respect that they've lost some corners but it sounds like the marriage Randall is going to play in this game which is going to help them a lot so I how much could he live score with the yacht club up in lambeau field I mean can they score 17 I'm gonna give him 17 points so I'm gonna go Aaron Rodgers 28 yacht club seventeen that's what I got a game that I don't think people realize just how great historically great Aaron Rodgers has been i know they won the last six but if you look at last seven games he's 18 touchdown 0 int and considering that the Giants have only scored 24 more points four times and the packet of only missed that mark only 4 times but it's just hard for me to imagine that somehow you can just get clicking and all the sudden you can go score 27-31 point when you have it shown that you haven't gone 30-day this up.
It hasn't scored 30 points all year can you imagine that they have won 28 points yet okay really.
And investment that's really not good and I know people well you know be like if you look at the last 20 years the jazz have made the playoffs either they lose the first game or they go to the Super Bowl.
Yeah it's no in-between with him they lose the first game or they go to the super bowl I just don't see how with the inconsistency that they've shown on obvious any life.
No running game LOL but i mean basically it look okay I'll get open we'll get you one big play maker God miss or blowing climate and you get to the house and defense you gotta shut it down from here.
I just don't see how this defense whole area Roger under 24 and I know they've been great the last you know 78 games that defense has been great i mean youyou put it up there with some of the best but I just don't see how he lines that ineffective obviously they just wanted to play you can be 15 it's not as they've been in the playoffs in a one-game battle we can catch the Giants and packers sunday it for eastern on sod and Kyle have the back everything I don't know now I hate that you picked green I don't you do it feel better look I don't know exactly what if it's not it's not cool let's get to the next topic that we'll look at ate the canary looks from you when I their friends are like holiday Roger doesn't matter i'm going to tell you what what I want and what.
Here we go okay well your Cowboys would play the winner of the backers and giants game if seattle when tomorrow the cowboys lost twice to the Giants this season and beat the packers back in week six residues car to get what's the better matchup for your cowboys that was sweet sort of price but would you see that he was that that was the real MVP dak Prescott our review of the year that was beautiful way to go DAC something at lambeau field of roses that was so long ago skill i want you to understand my a mountain in my emotions or badly mixed on this okay so i'm i'm a little messed up psychologically on this game and who I want for my dallas cowboy but I badly want the new york football giants for a number of reasons number one I just don't like them not just tell you for years and years as a cowboy fan I just don't like the giant I especially don't like these giants because their quarterback by eli manning and what the hell I ever do to you if I beat your cowboy you can operate it twice oh so think what he's done GT Rob Tom Brady twice did here on top he looked up and beat him twice stole it from him stole it right out from under his nose in the first super bowl and this year think of what he's done to me psychologically he's beaten my cowboys twice by but I don't know how he's done it by 1.3 point so I sit back and I say look Odell look I go bad gone back and forth with him on Twitter I like him but I it's hard to respect his ego mania he's just like run a muck and this going to Miami thing just sent me over the edge but but again the point is I want the Giants because i'm convinced my cowboys could be two giants that the third time would be the charm and I will be the first to admit to you I do fear aaron rodgers as much as hard as I've been on him on the show in this kind of game at this point in the season if in fact he does to the Giants what I think he's going to do if it's a 28-17 those four touchdown passes and you come in and so who know and I have to listen to rob parker and others just go on and on about Aaron Rodgers this matte look is he capable this is the worst case scenario is aaron rodgers capable of going to Jerry world the following i would probably be on sunday yes and destroying the cowboys just lighting them up because their defenses it's it's pretty good it's gotten better and better but is it torture sure it is it's horrible.
Could he throw a party Jerry world could it be 42-14 aaron rodgers if you have that kind of nuclear capability you better believe he does I get that but the Giants don't in the Giants it's okay listen to aaron rodgers so like Cowboys one up there on october 16 and how did they do it they dominated the game from start to finish they took the ball on the opening drive it just went right down the field and score right and it got completely out of hand early in the fourth quarter got to 29 27 and they dominated every way you can dominate that game it but green bay turn the ball over four times in that game could I trust the green bay is gonna come to Jerry world terminal four times because there are just do an interception lost a fumble and then they lost two other fumbles reform of the ball they were going in for school yeah you're correct my cowboys turn it over only one time that day so its 421 in turnovers even though it looked like the better team was the dallas cowboys and roger has by far season-worst qbr of 35 back through for 227 Ezekiel ran 457 and they dominated every way you can dominate but again that was a different Green Bay team i still think this is this a new york giants team and I look at the two games i look at opening day at Jerry world do you realize my cowboys dominated time of possession is Dax first-ever NFL game he's starting for the cowboys sunday night they know it was it an ammonite maybe it was that everyone thought was afternoon they dominated time position 37 minutes to 23 they were 10 of 17 on third down but Eli went three-for-three in the red zone three touchdown that went 1 for 3 in the red zone why was that why wasn't i don't know why i don't exactly what was because medially Beasley dropped two touchdown pass at the two-yard line wide open got to think yeah you can request that tape no I don't even know yet I don't want to see it anymore and then Dez Bryant has the ball right hand back to the end zone and could not hang on to it and i'm going to call that by his standards a dropped touchdown pass so you're leaving that's that made it three to nothing then fix nothing Dallas instead of 14 to nothing dallas and then we know what happened at the end of the game.
Terrance Williams caught the ball and he decided to cut inside to the outside and maybe Dan Bailey or you want that we have yeah what oh what are you doing tense if you did it again he did it again here and the wrong way and I still say that Dan Bailey could have made a 58-yard field goal because he'd made a 56-yarder earlier in the game that would have won the game that was 22 19 then let's go to the last game December 11 at the Giants 10 to seven new york giants and Dan Bailey 55-yard field goal at the end of the half could i please do this it up it looks it's looking no good hit the crossbar hit the crossbar and attend to step again you realize what you want to go it would have tilted the playing field it would give Alice three more points at halftime and the strategy changes throughout the second half it was total yards 264 New York 264 Dallas my Cowboys were only 14 15 on third down but guess what do I was on third down against my cowboy defense 2 for 14 what did Eli say right after the game he volunteered this to the media could we hear it please thank you there's stuff still feels wet you're going to sweat balls you know couple balls here this good and just enough wetness where you know coming out your hand funny but uh one of these days we're gonna have to run a bunch and and and be patient that in this hopefully you hit a couple big place what have I been telling you it was a wet ballgame and dak Prescott the rookie quarterback had not experienced that against an archrival on a big night game on the road you've never played it ready before you got a quarterback hold on not at this level with with this kind of pressure and expectation with tony romo looking right over your shoulder from the sideline ready to come in for you and he had the only inaccurate game he had all season law it was a wet ballgame and eli left them made one of our own with nitrogen Minnesota he thought he played real well he made three or four big throws that one again did they win the game.
I think we did you on a bus stop Thursday night loudest placed in America come on and give out if you let me have or not no no we are not finished yet so what I want is I want the new york football giants with a drive all at Jerry world the next weekend that's what I'm rooting for i'm rooting like crazy for the yacht club to come to Jerry world that's what i need and what I want thank you very much i'm from the valve although i didn't major in atmospheric science i did not know Mississippi was under 20 year drought i would assume that dick Prescott at some point I'm in high school and college played with a wet balls it was a snow wet call it was a slush ball this snow in Mississippi often I don't steal the I got you on that with all again you keeping i love how you just keep trying to find you quite a blow there's no question in my mind they would rather feed the giant becoming the two games the Giants have scored a grand total of thirty points the cowboys saying if somehow we can manage to get the 21.
There's no way they could get scored enough points to beat us so obviously you want to take the team although they have the better defense but the giant I mean the cowboys are saying we don't need to do much because we know they can't get the 24 points if we can just get to 24 and considering that we're playing village from how we get the 21-22 I like our chances don't want to see Aaron Rodgers because you know in a controlled environment with those receivers he can go get 31 3542 blinking or not so you don't want to see that you want to see Eli because you know they can't run the football and it gets now they did run the football fairly well the first time they played against them and they had a pretty good run in even the last meeting but you know the Giants are defensively are challenged him so if the defense can somehow manage to hold them to 20 you have a you have a good opportunity because you said you know what we got the day that's playing better price but let's come on chance Williams for making play because he's gonna do what he doesn't count on jayson gives one to two third-down catches it somehow we can get the 21 points we can be 15 because i don't believe they can get the 21-point against our defense although we don't have the 2013 of three other sweetheart.
No we don't need to be against that deepest because we know they're one-dimensional we know that they're a one-play to play office that's what they try to do and so you don't want to see Aaron Rodgers the quarterback he's just like to say a hot goalie you don't want to face it a very good picture that's 4 190 miles an hour with filthy stuff you don't want to see if thats whatever Roger videos right now you know no matter who your defenses he can go get 28 points against it you don't want to see him and you know it was raining last I checked in and lambo that David the cowboys went up there one of the Rings oh yeah yeah well it would be able to anyway it was with yeah I know I from how they want so you don't remember anything but the building but I tell you what you're gonna get you you're not going to get your wish because i looked up with 1990s they went to before Matt they've been 92 currently in which a team that met three times in one season and only 11 times have the team swept the series so but you know let's get you're not gonna get your wish anyway because aaron rodgers going there so are you picking with your heart is that's what you're telling me that you picked aaron rodgers with your heart because you you think he has the best chance to eliminate dallas right i picked error a pic aaron rodgers at home against the giants because I think she is better i think their team overall is better than the giant so and they're at home and he's been hot I mean we've seen hot before but I'm talking about this is like chicken leaving Friday.
Eww got back to my really optimize sports hot i'm talking about the devil machine with drinking lemonade with Lockhart like in DP hot right yeah you been MVP hot but he's not going to win ok that's how it goes yeah I did skip I'm sorry I'm slipping the Giants beat your team before opening day he looked into it was alright.
Why hello why do I always have to lucky that's what i want to one of everything Eli do is look I don't know he had four lucky games and it's like two Super Bowls into against that he said yes because you get your cowboy ways this year he read entire already starting to be a through twice and you know what I want I want to now I want it next week of course without giant because you know you're challenged offensively that's why you want the largest one know you don't know you don't know glass club where you want the path of least resistance I know you scared me like no I thought what happened to the market if you want to be the man you gotta preach to me now the Cavs will reportedly agreed to a trade for Kyle Korver was an all-star two seasons ago with the hawk and shooting over forty percent from 3-point range this year the Cavs already shoot over 39-percent as a teen second best in the league or join my efforts one NBA analyst history started rubbing Chris thank you.
How much will go over help the cast and it's a great move right he's one of the best three-point shooter the long time and now you can surround the Brownwood even more shooting till we get the cable skill free before they had would ask the question you pick Cleveland the window menu.
You don't have to drink from you don't believe that i know you had one but I've noticed but look what is this this is about golden state in Cleveland they already were guaranteed to win the east they already were better than san antonio and everybody else is about gold i'm not sure but you know what's going on just alright.
The question is what does this do for them and go to state.
I think the cab got better but it doesn't make me think oh that Golden State can't beat them now you know because corporate greater shooters it will be 36 in March he never was a great defender you know what but he's gotten better in atlanta i think he's service well that this year the Atlanta with 14 points better per hundred possessions then with him on the bitch there with implants so they are you going to try to put it over You Love and Kyrie on the court together again rolling too late ok gets Golden State you have with excitement when they go to Ian Clark in the back if they go smoothly if you go like love channing frye it you know Tyree and Korver that plays into the war your pants because now they can go small and they'll run you out of the gym if you go i think Cleveland's way to be golden state is execution moving the ball and physical and again i love the move you gave up nothing but doesn't change things with Golden State know you and kyle korver to what you had last year they added kevin durant i don't believe i do not believe that corner and carry and low will be on the court at the same time it will probably probably be LeBron and corporate when you go because normally carry gold college right out their character card recovery goes out the broad normally goes to the point and then they'll bring probably somebody like a corporation or normally Richard Jefferson first off the bench he still be first off the bench but i don't see them.
No that's too much of a liability business to have corporate love and Carrie who I mean unique you need a chamber those Bill Russell block shots she be about him going to the basket I like this move because if you put corporal on the court with LeBron and Kyrie somebody has to defend the paint covering get to the bucket anytime he wants and when you do he's gonna kick the ball they do a great job of rotating the basketball i love this movie because the cup.
Look if you can't shoot the three you can't be the Warriors and you're not going to beat the cavs that's not a cab love to the bull they got hot from three I mean they've only they already could shoot 23 there already was second in the league in three-point so he just got even better they think it's a great movie i just don't think it ultimately as those two teams maybe it is a great movie it is such a sweet move for LeBron because what would be the best yet drive and dish to the print there's nobody better nobody great training the basket getting the paint and in just he's the best passer in basketball and if you got snipers a whole ring of snipers out there if you do have all those guys on the court at the same time somebody's going to get her open three because two people are going to have to stop LeBron James and if it's kyle korver there's no better wide-open three-point shooter than this guy you got clay I don't they close better just what just sitting down wide open.
This guy's a 45-percent you make almost half of those shots and clay can go crazy some nights and make 10 in a row but this guy is the perfect pick up because he's a good locker room guys not going to mess with your chemistry at office and so here we go again for the third straight year LeBron needed help two years ago and he gets jr. and shumpert and mozgov and and they stolen like they got him for virtually nothing and then you need you need another three-point shooter.
How about a seven-foot three-point shooter and channing frye from orlando you basically just stolen from orlando and then what is Atlanta doing they are the four seed and this they're giving up maybe I just didn't know where we were done we can't we can't beat them so we'll let him join them right off we're going to spend our best shooter to the Kings team really you're going to do that right now at this point here you're the four seed and you're just saying we're done noise in the last year of his contract but he's still a good player even though he's 30 which I 36 and and I still say he's a beast that nothing is a great defender but you gotta wait for ya it's not horrible he'll try hard he's 67 so we can have some wingspan to him and with this team.
I I don't get how LeBron I told Shannon I'm vision last night LeBron pick up the phone call the commissioner and say Commission could you uh could you arrange the deal something I i need a cock or this time could you could you arrange for me to get kyle korver how do you get that it had to be the commissioner brokering the deal floor where they do have some connections you know something when the front office in Atlanta used to being clear enough.
Are you saying this guarantees them the championship I mean she likes the best team that I I told channel this is the biggest cake walk to a final in eastern conference history the east is the worst it's ever been.
When I was last year to have any left but I think lebron could go anywhere in the Eastern when the east I really do I told I think of you for him in Brooklyn.
That's David all about the heat that's all i know is that i agree available about Broadway to realize the cakewalk is because he's making the cake and it makes the cake you're going to be able to either fly out you won't be making the cake he calls the commissioner says I need cock over i'll make a new case originally you had the joy had see where you're going he's going where they're stacked you got corporate you got chanting front if they don't win it is going to have a nice little and the point is looking always say but if you're not as factions Golden State you know what all-star got all-star got gold know that who Envy being of the team that LeBron should be sweating about is the team that has the best road record in the NBA right now.
17-3 are the san antonio spurs and i think last time I camera if you set it on or off cam.
But you said Tony Parker's kind of near the end of the line.
Look at his last five games and tell me you get the end of the log oh we're gonna get you know anybody was going to that I really have anything that I can hear your healthy Chris if any point guard he played the last five game Kyrie Irving know with that aspect of current my next you never can write off ya know that ya know i will Bron's number we know that except for AI been state huh maybe can go straight will see we're going to see you a two-run game 7 with a broadhead that elbow jumper and then describe the ball from up to collapse be able to bring I remember how we're gonna get me to go back already getting to that yeah my Spurs were psychologically shots per game all day today we like rail in the alley one but more heard that Miss Lee week you have there there are there believing of his been acting lately in Game six on the road in miami right thank you know you're just like you're doing that Leo around the brain because of that shot yeah but not not anymore you're not right about the boy very aware me because i want to add every time saying I'm helping by rolling your eyes can be in the limelight man there's nothing like it he didn't say anything that wasn't true yeah you can save you but you seem like I'm wide over here not this is a great person it's an amazing addition to what you ask you if they if the cab don't win it you don't love your new year's resolution fear 420 GG it's too late okay anyway six the get the Bigfoot Niagara accurate because we're right next to me i lowered time I don't want to talk.
He's like a little time with it with a couple of hours real word to it all I tell no that's too many times now prob five specific most watch NFL games this season five of the six most watch NFL game this season were cowboy game that proved that the cowboys are still American no they are not America's Team Canada it's more like south america's team because this time of year particularly is when they go south no bueno but you have to you know what bilingual you know I don't got a very good writer but the biggest gift you know this too.
It's about what you do this time of the year that really tells you whether or not people hold on to you and say this is a team that i watch the team that produces come playoff time that I meant you and here is just straight fact since 2002 the Cowboys have two more wins than the Cleveland Browns when you talk about postseason for the Cowboys haven't been that team.
What did that people want to watch this year I get it yes because they've been so bad from the standpoint of putting together such a run two young players that people didn't know on the pro level maybe they know anyone in college but they got to see this team come together with all these games with 11 in a row people tune into that but America's Team what people will look at them and say this is a preeminent power that I have to watch every time they're on because they're so good.
No and the idea of the cowboys and all the merchandising that they sell at the only reason they sell a lot of merchandising because this time but here's seventy-five percent off engine that I had always an aquarist able to look at it you got jokes and like you don't have fact that we've got jokes for the ball hit the ratings bit if they wanted bacon habit you know you know a father topic watching watch games this year our cowboy they only got that moniker because Dan Rooney told the story of how NFL Films wanted to call the pittsburgh steelers america's team in the seventies because they want all the time all the super bowls were won by the pitch.
Were stealing and miss the art rooney finger said we are not America's Team we're pittsburgh steelers we're Pittsburgh beam which is blue call-up hard-working another thing I thought Americans like winners and in the last 20 years one of the Cowboys once get this 1997 they have two playoff win the exact total as the Houston Texas who became a franchise in 2002 and two more wins and we said the Cleveland Browns level 112 games so basically proud to be the Cowboys were 500 football team from 1997 to 2050 room so I thought we I just know week we love winners Americans we just we're at it we know we go to the limit we're going to win the most gold medals we go whatever we do we're gonna win Serena playing in the kids but we're gonna win and that their get out here with this man but you gave in to you said because all those TV ratings they are made as it if they wanted they could have it yeah bitch I don't want to take his dogs should I can't help the honestly it should be the Patriots for the broncos and steelers come they won the most you know the Patriots have four Super Bowls the steelers have three with the broccoli have free with in the last 12 years how many people that me I couldn't count down as usual both of you are missing the point in missing the boat the Dallas Cowboys have always been and remain america's team because they are America's most loved and most hated team so even when they missed the playoffs then come up short and small as you just point out people love it because they love to root against Dallas just as much as they love to root for and I don't have time to do this that i can go back year after year after year and show you all the top rated games during regular season for dallas cowboy games in this year is that the Cowboys saved the second half of the year after the election and obviously the Cubs run the cowboys games on average the second half of the year with the most watch games even above the NBA final and the Cubs in the world series they dominate the ratings because people can't take their eyes off them it starts with the uniforms they still have the best uniforms notes don't ya we'll see there you go but you look at them and there's something about the creditor under York Yankees pinstripes did way better because the colors of the metallic blue texture and who basically invented and created the Dallas Cowboys once told me that he actually had a TV camera brought to his officers in 1960 when they're inventing the uniform and would cast colors on the TV screen just to see which were most pleasing to the eye and he came up with that blue they called metallic blue with silver and the white and the star on the side of the helmet and a lot listen you know I lived in New York the last 12 years Ernestine and I some saturdays a lot of stars would walk to the movies down eighth Avenue and she would always turn to me every saturday and say this is incredible we see cowboys jersey after cowboys jersey new york city there were fights but there are a lot of New Yorkers your cowboy fans you know this they grow up they love the uniforms and it depends on your age range the Cowboys have won five super bowls with a plan aight so so it's not like they've been a perennial loser they've had their stretches you got to admit the last 20-some odd years they have been scared okay it's like they didn't do well every day 18 is that into will not as they did with 2,000 that ok but they had a dynasty in the nineties obviously they should have one published four Super Bowls in a row and just because of the soap opera of Jimmy versus Jerry firing Jimmie Johnson after win two Super Bowls you don't think that made him america's team against it's the best soap opera in sports.
Who's the most famous owner or infamous owner in all of sports that even close no it's jerry jones so he just continued the legacy that was built by I hate to say this but Tom Landry to jimmie johnson announced Jerry Jones how many days we talk about Jerry Jones on the show because it's so debatable and discussable what this crazy old owner is going to stay tomorrow I i think that people do that one point feel that way I'm not so sure skip and I get the facts infatuation this year because of what they were able to do with 11 straight wins and the rookies I'll give you that but i don't think that that stretch of what you're talking about there because they weren't involved in the playoffs you are rooting against them because they weren't making the playoffs run field there was no need to root against the cowboys they didn't make it they wanted to weigh in here and there were just a premium 1818 so they would have their little stretching their they're gonna make it or not make it in Roman would come up short at the end of the piece name and value and overall in there.
Well he's the classic cowboy hating loving quarterback because these high-risk high-reward can't trust him but every once in a while when you least expect it will throw five touchdown passes the next angle though four interceptions.
It's perfect to keep the interest level there's the most interesting team year after year after year they have the most interesting players I can't explain it it's the dynamic of the Hollywood that is Dallas Texas because it always has jerry jones is PT Barnum yeah because the cowboys somehow adopted the monitor or got the moniker america's team in PT Barnum said this is the greatest shoulder info somehow Jerry Jones have can't convince the American public that we truly are although we might not win whatever you do will win three super bowl and a 30-year span because after the family they didn't do anything in the eighties what was the quote attributed to PT Barnum I don't think he actually said there's nothing bored with everybody right now because then he'll actually they had an albino elephant and people didn't believe in the bible so they have the little story goals of the legend being told you that he got a plate you notice and paint as an elephant with white house make and it's all my god it's a white elephant if we Jerry Jones has done that very thing that he can be you convince all the American people mainly skip bayless whose trumpeting this cause they didn't have to convince me yet we already convinced yet there long before Jerry Jones know you were convinced when you went to see him in tall so wherever you wouldn't worry about with the Dallas where you won the first time you told me down well welcome back a year you are an impressionable little boy feel like 18 years old that I want their whose afpc Barclay what your face there's one board everything ok my uncle lived in dallas was an assistant coach at high school he said you've got to come to yard our new team there was to do that was Apple skill they were terrible day little Eddie LeBaron.
Back but they had gone there its weight in the way that would be not a superstar tidewater bag with became a star and television right you've really done ok dad Roger Starbuck which he not captain america for a while you don't think the Naval Academy went right absolutely ok they have a lot of that look what was it rise and fall back now where the all-american guys now where is he now yell real estate and Alice no I'm not gonna fuck about me now i'm talking no i'm not talking about Roger Staubach i'm talking about the rajasthan bali quarterback.
Come on via the the lovable the guy that you love that was in the military with the hydrant the heisman trophy winner who is that guy for the Cowboys now becoming dak Prescott he wasn't in the naval academy but but he is lucky you don't think high-character good kid perfect cowboy ordered a day at that ball gets a sports exact back into further a lot of like all broadly up every morning I come in here and then I apologize this morning i was actually three minutes late to the meeting and you know why because there are three security guards on this plot who will not let me be talking about that Dallas Cowboys were in Los Angeles California on the west side of Los Angeles right and they stopped me every morning can you believe the Jewish to wants to play romo its everyday if some so proper not feel like what you but I lose mine to fracking where I am I say because I get into it and what I want to talk about what help would tell them about Derek who took three weeks off now guys after I told him the jazz going to beat him and he would not come back into your money then i'm going to write yesterday morning you will I figured that I'd always I've I'm telling is going to admit it.
Calvin play this weekend because they were great this season but you can catch american-themed on Fox next monday track skip I'm gonna get you a cowboy who's there goes I'm your father and I got my t-shirt that's all I need nice toxic dumps i gots all right I'm gonna wear on the show but i'm waiting for me okay yeah okay No.
With the top MVP candidates in the NBA battle last night james harden had 26 points 8 rebounds and 12 assists and the keepass tunay in the final seconds of the Westbrook had a game-high 49 points in the loss but missed a potential game-winning three-pointer give him a better MVP case like Westbrook or hard and I hate to admit this because i had Russell for MVP before the season started on the stick with him but he did not help his MVP case last night and I thought James Harden.
I must admit had the better overall basketball game last night now perspective Russell was at the disadvantaged they're playing back-to-back oklahoma city was Charlotte and then in Houston sorts and James Harden's house back-to-back that that's pretty rough and I do realize that last night Russell Westbrook torched one of the better on the ball defenders maybe one of the best on-ball defenders in the NBA.
Patrick Beverley 49 points we outscored James 49 226 gave a recombinant to he gave a reason literally true but it was a lot of Patrick Beverley to work and Russell had one of those rare hot three-point night and he order LeBron s that way where he used when you least we're not talking about a lot of we're going to in just a minute but Russell hit 8 of 15 three highly unusual but it certainly help their case but he didn't help his MVP case because i don't like the trend I'm seeing here from Russell his shot attempts are rising anything fists are plummeting by the game last three games they've lost all three his shot attempts have gone 28-31 last night 34 a lot of shots that you're putting up at the expense your teammate who are starting to do the mannequin challenge around him you know they look like four statues just watching what you gonna do now I don't know I don't know don't forget he has a 44 shot game and a 35-year I industry's most and so I look at the last five games only won one of those and his assistant gone 0 and then he had 14 and win over the clippers and then a cisco 685 last night five assists for james harden had 12 is just not a good sign.
He still averaging his triple-double 31 points scored 11 rebounds which is sensational he still rebounded just a lucky crazy clip right but he's a fist to fall all the way to just 10 so we just barely hanging in with the 10 double-digit assists and that said Russell Westbrook had a chance to wipe the slate clean last night by making the game-winning shot and he had three attempts at it with the game tied 131 left yet a 16 foot jump shot that emits don't know if we could see that thank you very much this is with 131 left that's game tied banged it off the back iron then 51 seconds left he drives to his left and shoots a right-handed shot off the glass right here just kind of a bad idea shot didn't really get it up on the rim no good on the second play he could have dropped it off.
I think I'm gonna I think you could have rolled into the bell set and then finally is that shot again you could have done this like ridin James Harden States Jason he put a hand up really didn't get up very quick and back iron the three-point shot to win the game late in the game with 5.7 seconds left and then what happens here we go again with the three-point shot pretty good look I just great look well then what James Harden do it the other end he did something I didn't think he was really capable of doing all the sudden Robertson has him and Steven Adams jumps out on the double team and what did he do the textbook dish anything to Nene whose wide-open break into the basket and gets hammered and he goes to the free-throw line and makes two free throws to win the basketball game so James Harden made the textbook path that won the basketball game and he had 12 assists and I hate to admit it but overall I thought he got the better last night of a Russell Westbrook that i'm still hanging in lift for NDT you don't find funny I find it ironic very play that you give James Harden credit for had that been the got up in Cleveland making that very same place that's what you would have criticized ha ok total because you would've said he's not clutch or he didn't want to draw the file and go to the free-throw I issued the frequency that we want you think won the game i would give them great credit what do I always call the Brawn the best passer in the NBA is highly capable of making that play I'm a firm believer that is never wrong to do the right thing and when they roll when robertson and then Adams tried to jump on his quickest route he dumped the ball down to an a that was the right place the right plate is never wrong you know skip when you look at James Harden he's one of the heart of guys to defend because he had three point range he has a mid-range game he can get to the bucket with the within that eurostep cool.
They call it the Euro step but do he won't be traveling to have a jiffy got flu cases everything you put the ball in left hand like this we go to the basket either way I Manu Ginobili invented that move but just go ahead and get on the road they forget they suspect they're doing a lot better than mine but anyway he 2612 and you look at Russell's line he had 49 point he outscored the other starting for all by himself so you're not going to win buried many games I don't think if you're out for you the other four start of by yourself because that tells me they're doing a lot of looking around okay what do you think will stand over here will try to get to rebound it and feed it back to you so you can do you know go to the back basket again you know what if you look at this.
Russell westbrook if OS over speaks on go ahead three-point attempt in the final team second fourth quarter and OT worst in the NBA and somehow I guess he he doesn't get these steps because guess what he's doing he's steady jacket up he's still not trying to get his teammates involved and then i said this yesterday teams are perfectly content letting get 49 let them get 50 alone leave Adam doesn't get 20 along with all the depot doesn't get 20 they're not gonna win.
I said it before the best they could possibly hopeful with a six-speed kill the free-falling and he needs to what he needs to understand in order for this team to be successful he needs to be somewhere around 25 point somewhere around twelve-thirty.
Meaning of this now get the rebounds get the rebound but you gotta get the other guys involved i agree am I short that Russell Westbrook is going to have a career night because if he doesn't have that career night for free they get blown out skip I mean it like the first half everybody put up with going in for free time like do this step this step and clay or this little ruffle he's not a three-point yet he can make me to water to he gets from a ribbon you can make your basic 31-percent yes from three yeah but he would walk into him like it was nothing I'm used to looking guys face like a working standard your hand down man down skip James Harden first of all I didn't think Russell could win it because I didn't think they can win enough games.
I said the best-case scenario maybe a six-speed but that looks like it's gonna be probably seven or eight because you talk going away Grizzlies I'm not coming back to him in the thing it was going to make James Harden even more appealing is that really they can challenge one of the top two they can challenge them Antonio baking challenge Golden State because they got those snipers they got a guy on the bench that will start with everybody else.
Gordon you said the other day you thought it was only san antonio mon state but now you're going to houston in the mix skip after watching them and watch Gordon come up the bench he's coming up the best and dropping 20 look then going to stop the voting for sixth man of the year it's over this whole he's gonna win this unanimous get the Duke comes off the best James Harden was terrible the other night six like 25 this discourse 31 what people don't know he's leading the league in three-point field goals made not still not clear area or no but their team is it is like leading at my father because they just bug activated.
Antonio is a cancer is doing right cause you didn't actually think about it they got gored they got Anderson they got hard dick ellam they got a reason that can shoot we out have Patrick family got it only actually I'm not here to 13 me up if so when they're playing like this they're making those three they're going to be tough for a lot of things now I think the death of those other teams will ultimately do their be their undoing.
But skill James Harden right now as much of that look I'd give him a slight lead over LeBron but when it's all said Bill you know who's gonna win that trophy all I don't yes you.
Do if you're saying the king is going to win it flying I guess right go to have not.
Oh you you playing now but just left me what happens when that are that marketing from Atlanta joy what we're about to get to that but last thing on Russell for all you say for all of our constructive criticisms the Russell here has got to change his ways going forward playing back-to-back at houston against Russell had three chances to win the game that's pretty great that's pretty great and he missed all three and i get your own 46 that you think rust lost any sleep last night no no he does not care he will shoot him again he'll shoot it.
The next game and the next thing and they have a tough january coming up and it ends up with think it ends up like at San Antonio at Cleveland close together at the end of this month so what the tale is about to be told but i still think if Russell can readjust it starts to get back to 14 or 15 assists they can be a pretty good team you excuse the classic guy that can shoot you an and out of ball games and last night I mean he wasn't even trying to get other guys in the last few seconds of the ballgame involved yes it was and everybody know it.
I mean Robinson was standing in the corner of the guy roll to the basket and he will look at the role the guy rolled into the band right has that no content in a short memory that is here at and it's exactly why Kevin Durant is now a golden state warriors is roughly like walk in the rain.
This video's decided that was 19 Seahawks post Alliance tomorrow night and a wild-card matchup CX been up and down recently going three and three and their last six but Seattle has won a franchise-best nine straight home playoff games or dry creek Carter Chris how much confidence you have in seattle going into the playoffs he's going to have a great deal of confidence in them but this is a kind of odd year as far as the playoffs our concern amongst the playoff teams especially in NFC they have the most experience now I'm people say next man up a lot of times when a guy gets hurt when he's really a star that's just coach talked he ends the guy who's coming informed they trying to make him feel better.
Yeah when you get a guy hurt like Shannon shot another guy no I'm not him they're going to put in some type of game plan to gavel every since Earl Thomas all right they don't want the Legion of boom they need to talk about the legend of Earl Thomas he was now he's starting to get the credit the best safety in the Box the best safety center field the best safety sideline-to-sideline and they're predominantly zone coverage team so he makes up he's the eraser that helps them erasing the state you did they make like a little makeup artist because all blemishes and they can't recover from that you don't put another guy out there but its overall ability to know if he can't do it i think this is a game for two people and that is Michael Bennet and this ability to build a handle the front seven i believe his leadership and he's a star he's a start it's kind of it's not under the radar but he doesn't get as much attention to him and kam chancellor i'm looking for the first playoff game that he can smash somebody because in the playoff it's a different different tempo and you see a guy coming across the middle of the way seattle in the first quarter they always blast somebody the one linebackers our camp and I believe that's going to have an impact on the 12 in them winning the case they have enough talent to build a rally so how confident i like if they could win one game in the playoff you only got one more to get into the generalship game so do i think they can go all the way to the Super Bowl this is the least talented Seattle team and the about five years right so i would say i have the least amount of confidence but they still have some great players and great players can take over again kam chancellor Bennett if they take over the game defensively I believe that's enough for Russell is gonna be running for his life with an offensive line haha i believe they can score enough point one thing to watch a little subplot watch golden tape Golden Tate did not want to leave Seattle he felt like they didn't communicate to offer and give them the kind of offered that he wanted to he has kind of the same attitude as a dog ball once so watch as the game goes on is he able to control themselves to propel himself and the team to the next level because of golden take does not play without lack of running game all right or if you get so emotional that he gets out of the game Detroit has problems so i'm watching for those two things on decent and I'm like it for the attitude of a guy who left that franchise and started his career their golden tate reminds me la cama more milder these men he has that chip on his shoulder.
I mean he I mean they'll put him in the backfield for pc i told him i told my way to mike shanahan my former coach I say do not broke don't hand me the ball don't put me in the back building throw me the ball they oblige me by that doing that because i wanted no part to take the ball in the backfield yeah he has a special talent running with the ball yet well we're using running back when you for Golden Tate yeah yeah I think it's a high school I will ask already back to what I wanted to do was not going to do real good one I don't know how rare to have you.
Ok excuse running back to the availability now the building is all that I don't know brothers back up yesterday did a whole lot to get a whole lot but you know what think about this when you look at Seattle's office their leading rusher it's not even on the team he plays attackers Christine Michael especially Russia they're not the dominant defense they're not to 2013-2014 bits if they haven't been that that's Earl Thomas now we talked about all the great players all we want to but whatever limited they had on defense Earl Thomas could bite away you couldn't see them they comin they grew up together km or.
Richard don't they knew all the intricacies if Richard like Richard give our early look like I'm playing in fact interrupted when I might need to cheat a little bit this way just in case Richard does not make the plate I'm there to be the bat the ball down or you get the guy out of bounds so with him not being there cuz you look at it since he going out if you take away the LA rams game cuz they're obviously challenge they haven't given up almost 32 points again mhm now if you look at this team when they throw the ball up defensively 33 times fewer than five note when they run the ball at least 25 times their 92.
So what does that tell you need they need to be able to get some remnants of a running game.
Yes because it's challenging if the Detroit that rushing the passer but when you got those turnstiles an offensive lineman sweetheart yes all the sudden they look like the fearsome foursome bigger like the steel curtain so that's the problem that Seattle's having because they can't run the football they're asking ruffle to go back and throw the ball 40 45 times the game behind that up into land that's a recipe for disaster.
Now when you go to that building that 12 basically hard now you know what listen when the Seattle come out on defense you are cover one skill lurking we call it luck they call it Robert one robber and that mean kam chancellor any crossing route he's looking to decapitations if you remember in the superbowl Demaryius Thomas called that bank called it early and we shall cross and kam chancellor hitting that was the end of that would be in done anything else so you look for that the auto call element to the New England and get ya what you're going to need the in the fourth quarter yes which we did that so I didn't make a great run yeah but element got up and yeah absolutely.
You know he still remembers me when he did a great job but that's the thing i'm almost AC i was going to win this game let's get there's something to be said about this platter bunch of young mean they've been there they've done that and if anybody concealment what they used to be i would say this team can do it better not not like knowing because knowing the girl has that guy number 12 and it still have food on the sideline with the cutoff sleeves but of the team it's in the playoffs outside of New England bacon coming up the most pride is there guys this is who we are kinda like what the Ravens you know that we're able to get to play off somehow they find a way to plumbing something up it look we are defensive our football team we do not letting about it runaway the Seattle be hot for that saying compliment same cloth they will want a close ballgame but without resemble a running game and eric thomas missing.
I just don't know how far they can go and that was my pick to be in the Super Bowl but I thought I didn't interfere Obama and I did not anticipate them not being able to run the football ok so give me a scale of one to ten confidence level antiox winning the NFC which is a winnable NFC to your point what's fixed because a half and five uh-huh I'm just trying to get through this week skip okay 36.3 i'm going to give them a seven in confidence because of all you said about they've done this before and I think they got a great break a huge break getting Detroit at home in the first all absolute if they got thrown into a playoff fire against let's say the giant right i don't think it would end well but this is an opportunity against the Detroit team that lost it last three games and fell into this spot right a Detroit team that is notoriously bad outdoors on the road and is there a tougher outdoors on the road place to play than this place exists right no so this is the wrong place the wrong time for the Detroit Lions with a quarterback his finger still isn't right on throwing hand and no Thea ridic and Darius slay it looked like last week he tried to play and he was hampered at best yes and I don't even know what that hamstrings doing this time you'll be much to speak of this time.
So you're you're catching right place right time to restart for Seattle your second season you could you have potential data add a resounding cotton confidence rebuilding victory over not a very good teen right now in your house with Stephen Terrill and place or Thomas maybe you get through it say you know what we can be okay here we still got Richard we still got can we still got Michael vintage alliance with the answers defensively and without Earl time you can't but you could still in this year's NFC and i'll be there as much as I love the cowboys i'm not saying they're they're not the New England Patriots because they have lived they have no playoffs experience to speak of and i don't know i don't trust Matt Ryan that much even at home do I think Seattle could win here and go and beat matt ryan again Matt Ryan probably should have beaten them got a bad fall guy in the game yet but i still say in a playoff game in Atlanta I've seen that Ryan started to get a little shaky just a little fear getting a little quick in the pocket and I've seen him come up small and pull out game so good this team go beat matt ryan sure it could make this thing go to Jerry world and win a game and just just don't share experience yet could just defensive toughness mental toughness yeah but Thomas Rawls is going to have to figure it out and get back in here because Russell Wilson ain't right either write us about confident about a 6.3 he said six let me tell you that loses an important game for two people Pete Carroll this one of the first times people begin to question the overall leadership is football camp so watch what he does.
Watch the amount of enthusiasm they play with at home when also Richard Sherman watch Richard Sherman play some football this weekend because he got all the pressure on him not doing press conferences watch him rise to the occasion and b1 the catalyst to get seattle from the wild-card round into the divisions that you're saying he will the energy a family will show you know he will show up and getting anything if you think about all things being equal I think the seahawks would rather see the cowboy because you got Matt ride who can like you up with julio jones and those receivers you also have error rogers in his receivers fiat all things being equal the other would rather face the cowboys tend to see one of those opposites because you will get Atlanta an enclosed environment ideal situation that's not a we thought what you do Joan Didion rich Julio Jones a nightmare and he has a week to read because he's been battling that toe and don't forget to the meeting in the preseason beat he said that message to campaneras let somebody know you haven't looking for looking for boys before the game we're looking to but during the game will look for taking me with you got another we're gonna work out maybe I look at you I don't know what to do here he was sightseeing just needed to go yeah there's no accident he can do assignment after I don't be like aw years you've got a point of looking leap on the web alone without doing here that's research we take that class so how do you think you'll hear more hidden investments right out what I will say I'm gonna market first time I went to Seattle I did go to the fish market about wanted to see I didn't get the invitation didn't have folks with wax paper but I had to see no 90 it's the difference and undisputed podcast we're delivering you and unscripted unfiltered undisputed version of the biggest topics of the day show be sure to subscribe to the podcast on itunes like us on facebook at undisputed on fs1 follow on twitter at undisputed and catch us at nine-thirty a.m. eastern 630 specific monday through friday on fs1 you can find us on channel 2 19 on directly d150 on disk that's arrested undisputed I'm your host Jory Taylor back on monday morning were joined by Chris harder to break down all the wild-card action in the NFL and Joe flat maybe the college football championship games with you guys next week enjoy football games and let's go Finn of one.
