Danny Begos had the day off here today he is back. He's got a banana in his hand. Are you gonna eat that thing? What time are you gonna eat it? Typically after this segment? Okay, he's also stay tuned for that. Then he's in a good schedule time. I'm probably gonna do that off air. But let's do sports at seven. Let's go and now Sports at seven brought to you today by Chef Kevio's Pork Chop Sandwiches. A sandwich is merely just a sandwich, but a pork chop sandwich is a
visit to Heaven. Try one today at Keveo's Kitchen and West Richardson. Unfortunately, you'll have to wash your own dishes by hand. Kevo's Pork Chopped Sandwiches There Heaven. Is it happen with a Keveosk fantastic. We have a big Chef Kevo. When you come in, there's a big mural to pay homage to Bill Pankston and you can see that. Okay, just one of the
many reasons to stop by. Danny will talk matters a second because we have the home of the Dallas Mavericks. But whenever you have a Monday off after a Sunday Cowboy game that has a lot of stature to it, like Cowboys and Eagles, The Big One, the best Cowboys game we've seen this year
in terms of just interesting game you like to get your hot thoughts. Well, I didn't get to watch the game like I normally would, completely laser focused with computer in one hand and notebook in the other ready for hot notes observations all that. No, I got to watch it with my kid, who was into it. He wanted to watch he wanted to watch Cowboys with
daddy, and uh, you know, yeah he did. And you know he was not watching the game, but it was on and he wasn't screaming for you know, trash truck compilation videos and blippy, so that was good. He ed would fall off if he saw a garbage truck go through a car wash, it might and that actually fall off. Oh my god, that child, that child so cute. He's so cute. From Afar. I love you. Saw that picture, I said, you guys last night, the one of me holding him and him with his arm out stretch going
right and me in the back going Oh my god. Yeah, that was a it was a microcosmob. But yeah, I did get to watch the game, and man, I tell you what, keV Oh, you were right. Definitely the most exciting, entertaining football game that the Cowboys have played all year long, too against a relevant team and actually looked like they belonged.
I can't help but think that the quality of that game got overshadowed by all of the bitching and moaning about the officiating on Twitter, because, like I said, I didn't get to watch it like I wanted to, So I did kind of rely on Twitter to figure out what the world was thinking, to figure out what, you know, like Kavanaugh was thinking, and and by proxy, you end up seeing a bunch of other stuff and just replay videos of all of the you know, the dack stepping out of bounds
and that, even though that wasn't an officiating situation, but all of these little things of inches, the shoot maker, touchdown not a touchdown, the different angles, well this is the pylon cam and this is what it showed. And it's like, look, man, you played on the road in Philly against the best team arguably in the NFL, and you came up short just a little bit. What is there to be too terribly upset about. I don't get it. I ain't the thing that you could just go back
to we didn't get it done at the end. Once again, and anytime it seems like they play a big team or a big really good team in a close game, it feels like they're not ending up on the right side of things. I think things are looking up, man, I really do. I think this look two or three weeks ago, maybe we felt disenfranchised with this thing. Oh regular, here we go, same old cowboys. And I've said this from the damn minute it happened. That effing Cardinals loss
is going to haunt them. That should have never happened, but it did. And losses like that happened, but they shouldn't happen to a team that is allegedly as good as Dallas. They like really it on Sunday, Man, I got no complaints about the way they played. I thought Dak looked great. I thought that. Oh. Another thing that I saw a lot of was a lot of Terrence Steel hate going on. Yeah, he was
a lot real hard, can I give you? And I didn't. Yeah, And I think I may have seen the same graphic, But please, I want you to talk about that. But dude, you you would think he's the worst offensive lineman in the NFL, And maybe he is. No, And I think Kevin's right. He is coming back from an injury and I don't know if he's been okay, but he had a bad, bad day. He's back earlier than he should have been. Yeah, and he got a new contract, right, And that's also that yel ACL right with
him. Okay, let me ask you something. I don't know if you guys have ever torn in ACL, but I would assume, I know I have it, but I would assume that the best remedy for it is I don't know, rest, Yeah, not playing National Football League football every Saturday, determining when someone is good enough to come back. I mean, acls are so common, I don't know. Yes, it looks like a man who didn't know what he was doing, not certainly not worthy of another contract
and shouldn't have been on the field. Yes, we'll talk about that. But I don't know if it's because of ACL all of a sudden, or it's just exposed bad matchups and just a real rough go. But yeah, here's a tweet. I saw total pressures allowed by Cowboys offensive lineman this season, right the entire season. How many QB pressures you've given up? Here's
just random numbers. Beyaddish fourteen this season, fourteen times he's given up a pressure, Zach Martin thirteen, Chuma Edoga eleven or Tyron Smith five all season, Tyler Smith four all season, incredible, Terrence Steele had twelve against the Eagles, Jesus, and he is at twenty eight total for the year, So he's at twenty eight. Second worst would be Beyoddish at fourteen. But dude had twelve pressures allowed in that game. That's what makes me that I
knew that I was aware of that stat. So my reasoning in saying that rest is probably the best thing to heal. Would it be a bad idea to let him actually heal rather than get to what sounds like a place of diminishing returns by actually leaving him out there? They don't have anyone else, yeah, I guess not, Yeah, because they did. They chose not to do anything on the offensive line. Well, they raft and shoon maker,
they didn't. You know, I don't know. I'm gonna sit there and go there was a ten offensive linemen you could have gone and traded for it the deadline last week. Well, not a lot that you could have gotten help there, but some guys that could have helped you. One of those guys is Josh Ball, who they drafted in the fourth round of a couple years ago. He's got a dislocated hip hip. So if you want to put Tyre in it right, tackle Tyler Smith, move him to left
tackle and then pump in someone at left guard. Like, no, you're not going to do that. Tyron played his best game of the year at the left tackle the other day. Tyler Smith is playing pretty well left guard. You're kind of gonna leave that alone for right now. Terrence, it's that a bad game, Like, it's not like he single handedly got them beat though, you know other things that happened, the big thing and the sacks were huge, and it's highly important, But Terrence Steele is not.
He's got a pretty good track record of being good this season because this year, even before yesterday's which game, he was crushing everybody in pressures. Yeah, you know he didn't need the twelve yesterday to be the worst the worst at that on their O line. And you brought up a good point,
Mikey yesterday. And I love this is the the draft logic. I love the idea of having your wish list, your best player available, your best player for position, and if that person isn't there, you have offensive line list and you find the best guy that you've evaluated talent wise, and you just draft him. I don't care if it's in the first round, second round, third, fourth, whatever, because it all starts. It begins, and it ends with the product, of course, but also with your
interior lineman. Yeah, Ty goes to the old line, not under unnecessary tight end. I agree, that's the stupidest draft pick they may have made in a year. It was athletic guy too, like if the tight end at least like make him a flyer, like make let's take a shot on a highly athletic guy who could turn into a high end tight in the in
the league schoonmakers, not that he was seen as solid. And you can't tell me that, as good as those guys are at evaluating talent, that they didn't see that Jake Ferguson was going to do what he's done this year, and that has improved every damn week. I was now his hands aren't exceptional. I think that can get better. But he's really effing good and kind of turned into Zach's little Dax will be Well, he's a littleton Schultz's part two. And I like him man, and I liked him from since
last year. I've thought that guy showed me, uh something that separated him from the tight end gaggle that this team has been kind of struggling with for the last few years, and uh, post Witten, I guess, but that draft pick. Every time I see us have problems in the interior line, I look at that draft pick and I'm just confused, well, absolutely confused by it. Should you be looking at Mazzie Smith as well? Absolutely,
And this is something that's even worse. Right, he's not hurt, right, I don't remember when I brought this up, because and I loved it. Like, they've gotten nothing out of their first three draft picks this year. Now one of them tore tore a cl and preseason, so we're not mad at that, you know, it just happened. But Mazzie Smith is giving you nothing, and your second round pick has given you pretty much nothing in Schoonmaker and other teams just don't do that. And the Eagles are
getting a toe out of their guys. The Chargers are a team who they played last nun money at Football, who are seen as a bit of a disappointment. At four and four, They're not getting hardly anything out of their first round pick, the wide receiver from TCU. Like, dude, if you're good and you are a quote unquote contender, you need to get something out of your rookies. Imagine calling Evan Carter up and getting nothing out of him. Now, that's a wild thing to compare that to baseball, I
know, but like it's just in football. You have garter plus one. You have to get something out of those guys first and second round picks. Yeah, yeah, you have to, and they got nothing. So young we have a little more football those guys. Because Danny, were you at the Arboretum or did you hear our Ghost Pepper Pavilion replay? No? I missed that. Yeah, I know that you definitely had one with the wide receiver combo yardage platter. And I'd like your thoughts on that because I was
being besmirched because I was surrounded by people of lower end intelligence. But now that you're back, I figure you can provide listeners like that. I was looking right at you because these guys, these guys. No, no, because Kevin started it and then Texters jumped on board that there was any question that I should get a point or had didn't make a hot enough pick. Being the AJ Brown and Cede Lamb were going to combine for two hundred and
fifty receiving yards. It's not my fault that I happened to be holding a match box. I didn't like the match your thoughts, I asked about the box. Did they combine for two hundred fifty seven? Why was there any Because the question was is that even a that's not a hot enough pick to be worthy of a point? Well, I'm sorry you didn't add that that Ceedee Lamb was going to slip on a grilled cheese sandwich at the end of
it to, you know, to ensure the half point. Right, No, I know, but that's why I was so mad and listen to this. I did a little research, and yeah, I did it online like they did. The overall under for aj brown In going into that game from Vegas was eighty three point five yards. Okay. The over under for Ced Lamb from Vegas, who we all bitch about how magically they get every number right was seventy six point five yards. WHOA, they're combined over under was
one hundred and sixty yards. You went ninety over that. I went ninety over that, and they went ninety seven over that. That is crazy and I wish I was this level of genius. I would have put my property taxes on either one of them to go over their numbers, although aj Brown didn't do it. He went under I got one ninety one out of CD lamb. I feel like you're screaming at dan O and Arlington and I'm just
kind of here hanging out. No, you fueled that fire and then go no old even hot prediction two hundred and fifty yards out of two guys, so loud, what I do? I should have got two points pretty much any scenario I'm in, I had fueled to the fire the other angle. So now that we've all agreed this, I might go into the DMV. Interesting it. We've all agreed that was clearly a point. We gave you
a half point. It does say in parenthesis, I never saw anybody frisbee a cheese grill on the on the on the football field, so I don't know why a cheese grill. It's as tentative next to this half point we gave you, because essentially, it's just as Nick Sirianni caught cussing on sideline, Yeah, issuing and expletive and you say, and they would react to it. He's uh, he's not writing, he's not mouthing, he's not saying hi mom. Yeah, you know how they do that? So anyhow
a baris soap something. Yeah, and someone did say that they did do something along those lines, but we gave you half. The gave you half he did. Okay, are you talking about based on that Slimo video later was cussing. I saw him audibly or no, well some say audibly too, but yeah, I didn't care. I saw him out thing the fort multiple times. But the booth did not acknowledge it. I don't think so
someone said they did. But then the same debate as the receiver thing is that is that worthy of a point that Nick Sirianni will be caught cussing on a sideline? Yeah, I don't know. I don't care. Look, I'm sad. We're trying to get points. See now, you know what we've done is we screwed ourselves by being insane with these you know, making these predictions absolutely banana sandwiches. So if we do like one, that's kind of I don't know, a little bit of a stretch, but not insane
enough, then our point accumulation gets challenged. Yes, and now we're just gonna yell about what's worthy. Have you ever notice that it's always by the guy that doesn't have any points. When did you get a point Rangers? Well, I know, I'm talking about from Sunday's game. Oh, absolutely points nothing. Yeah, I know. And he's got the mildest peppers in the room. Dude, I do not, Yes, you do. I said an animal would be on the field. Yeah, at the Eagles game
where they have an eagle. At pregame, I said, during the game, you know, you got me and Mikey over here juggling freaking Carolina reapers and ghosts, and you're over there popping serranos in your mouth. We're just putting throwing a little reaper into each other's mouth and spicy and oh and then you're over there with just one little score to Frank's red hot. Okay,
yeah, so's just licking a bell pick ghost pepper. Ever, a coach is gonna get caught cussing on the sideline and two of the top ten receivers in the league are gonna get over two and fifty yards combined. Well, I mean, dude, close your eyes. That could happen anytime you reframe that. As he said, someone's gonna slip on a grilled cheese sandwich. And I said, Kenneth Gainwell is going to penetrate Jalen Hurts on a tush
push. It was one of the best fumbles in pleasure. But my football pick, my football pick of the week, was they were going to do a tush push fail and follow it up with the Philly Special. Okay, it's insane. Kevin has one point and he has three points. I have five and a half points. Listeners have a half point. You know what, should we give the listeners another half point? No, no, you're another I'd like to revoke their half point for challenging your point. You know
what, You're absolutely right, listeners. You just lost your half point. Yeah, listeners zero and you can take that out on Terry and Garland. Fine, Terry. And on top of that, you lost your half point. And you know what else, Listeners, You've just got a warning. Oh no, he didn't, he did. He just isssued a warning. Yeah. Now I'm just arms crossed. I'm satisfied over here, not nodding my head. Yeah, teach them to mess with me. A warning and
no half point. MAVs meet the Magic last night, one seventeen one oh two. The Mavericks are now six and one and they've done this a bit where they kind of suck in the first half. He are second half Hoodini's man, they sure are. Well, if you want to catch a MAVs game, catch it all here on the freak of course, but really tuned into the second half because that's why they decided to start playing good. That's them though. Man, there it's it's we're back on the damn judge Roy
scream. It's a roller coaster. It was just like this last year where within the same game you would be like, this team should could compete for an NBA championship, and this team belongs in the lottery and not too far at the back of it, like it's just how it goes. But the key to that is the defensive consistency, like stepping up just a little bit. And I do think it's a little bit better. And Grant Williams is
a pleasure, isn't he fun? He's a joy man? Yeah, And he also has like the same body that we'd have in that awesome too. I love it. I had to man, every time he does something awesome, I'm like I could do that. Yes, I'm like, that's a style of game I would have a beast. He's got dad bod. There was a great moment love him. Last night Kyrie found no no, Luca found Kyrie open for a three. Kyrie knocks it down and on the next possession, Kyrie finds Luca and they both just kind of they both make it
three. They both look at each other and it's the whole Like, see, they could play together, as we kind of knew that they probably could. But now I'm not worried about the fact that they haven't played. They haven't beat a good team yet. We'll get there. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Six and one ye, but they're not getting beat by bad team exactly, which was a problem. Huge, huge, huge
huge Derek Lively's fun. Yeah, if you guys, did you guys give Derek Lively some sweet love yesterday for that yesterday fourteen good reef man and he had ten last night and he was in foul trouble all night. But dude, you can tell Luca loves loves them lobbing it up to him and he's teaching him because there was a play where it was a turnover and Luca kind of did the palms up to Derek Lively like this is I need you to do this, to do this, and Derek live like excitedly accepts the criticism.
He knows he's nineteen years old and he needs to learn from these people. And it's just fun to watch this thing evolve. Love where Derek. Yeah, it looks like he likes being here too. I think he likes this team. Yeah. So I started the game in the middle of the second quarter once I went through twenty minutes of xing out gambling and porn sites to be able to cast the illegally streamed game to my TV. But the
maps are down what fifteen and a half thirteen thirteen? How quickly did they evaporate that lead coming right out of the shoot and take a long It did not take long. I mean that thing was down to I believe a five point Orlando lead within I think a minute and a half it elapsed from the game clock. It was incredible. And a half into the third quarter, they're up three. But they covered that real quick, real quick. It was good. Yeap, love it real quick. And we've got a listener
who just called in as well, who's throwing a challenge flag. Let's go live to random Wistar Hi what's your name? Hey, guys, this is Colin. I'm just calling on behalf of the Glenns to see what we need to do to get that warning revoked and that half point reinstated. Look, Danny Mike, I'm sorry that you guys, uh, you know, kind of dropped the ball on this week's pepper Pavilion. But I don't see why that's any reason to take it out on the loyal listeners like us. Well
that's a good point. First off, Colin, you don't I suppose in negotiations you do ask for the world, you know, and then accept half of it because you're not getting the half point back and the warning revoked. I will give credit to a listener who said that we talked about a heat shaming in the whole first segment, and then right there we just went off on a spiciness of Kevin's Mike being unacceptable. Okay, I'll tell you what. We'll take the half point and we'll leave the warning on the table so
you guys can keep that warning. Just give us the half point back, and I think we'll all be happy. You know. I appreciate you, Colin, and I don't know if you are a signed advocate for the listener, Colin, or if you're just doing this independently, okay, well then you are. That's settled. What I can do for you, and I'm just to show you lenient is that I am not going to reinstate the half point and that is actually not even up for discussion. I appreciate if you
would mentioned it again, but I will. You guys do and all the listeners go on strike. We'll see you in court, sir Roy, I was about to revoke your Wow a nasty bitch. He has a nasty bitch. Colin, You were going to revoke the warning? Revoke the warning? What about after that? Display? Warning? To sounds to me like Colin needs to learn a little bit about emotional management. That's right, Colin. This always got to take a personal day to go to court, get dressed
up in my red carpet suit. Well, I'll do it. I'll do it. Thanks calling for your call. Get sports stuff there, men, we'll get to our arrangers. Twist notes next May coming up next Scudy. Oh yeah, the scuttle bit. I got a few things, and one of the things does include a big announcement that's happening tonight and we need to make our Ghost Pepper Pavilion prediction on who will be a special bonus plus some other stuff. Next some nice have won the Freak
