It's the downbeat on ninety seven to one the freak. Yeah, had a big plane crash in the Metroplex this weekend. I'll tell you about that in thirty minutes in a vault, a car and some stuff there for you at seven thirty a little moreh there's a lion on the loose as well. Not here, not here though, in the United States of America, Nope, in your in by native land of Italy. Marian Kevy a story now yet. I haven't been yet. But let's uh get right to cowboys and Giants
because we haven't talked about that yet. A huge forty nine to seventeen win yesterday for the Cowboys in Sports at seven and now the Sports at seven Sports is seven brought to you day by Soroy Industries Memory Loss Pills. You should probably get them when you forget to create a seven Sports at seven sponsor Soroy Industries Memory Loss Pills. Man, that is you know, a tagline. Thanks Industries for jumping on board with us starting off the week on fire.
So he said, before the show, we said to each other, or you said, one of you said it, let's have a good week, guys. Let's I did I said, let's have the best week. Says this week we've ever had. We did a little pump up before we go on the air, put our hands together. I've failed thee We said togetherness, and then now we're just out here floundering. As Danny head Whip says, the sports at seven Open Stars, we're fighting on the row, We're
fighting on the sidelines at the Giants offense. Someone should have picked T same team fight, he said, TF, choose TF tomorrow. Tomorrow Sports a seven sponsor. Now in the understood that that is a sponsor every day. Yeah, it goes without saying, man, I think okay, first of all, hard to judge anything off yesterday's game. Besides, you kicked that ass. I want to say this and it and without being the guy who's saying this after two good performances, but it's not the Cowboys won last week.
The Cowboys did lose last week, right and Siagles, I think Dak Prescott deserves to be in the MVP conversation in this league right now. And I know that seems weird, but he is playing better quarterback right now than anyone else in football. And if you want to maybe throw Joe Burrow at me. I'll take it, but Gonda throw CJ. Stroud at you. You can't throw CJ. Stroud at me, although it's yeah, yeah you
can. But there's no runaway MVP this year. It's just not. It'll probably end up being my homes because it always is, but there's just not. It's wide open, and Dak has put himself in a great spot with the way he's played the last two weeks. A lot of teams are gonna play well against the Giants right now, though, good lord, we knew with a seventeen point line that this was not going to be a close game. Most likely we knew Tommy DeVito at quarterback was going to not be good
for the Giants. Did you guys have any Tommy DeVito thoughts after first quarter or so? Would you expect? I mean, look, I went on a limb thinking that he might be shockingly interesting and maybe be able to score some points, but it was clear early on that that poor kid was in way over his head. That's a really good football team. Your first snap of your career being it your own one yard line, half yard yeah,
and then your second drive starts on the four. Yeah. I don't know I've ever seen a game stacked against the He's like, all right, let's get them. And boy, reps are so lenient with the not trying to give a safety to a defense, you know, And I don't disagree with them. I think they got out both times. Certainly the second one, the Saquan one, he definitely got out. But they are just so if it's the other way, you know, they review it and they look at
it forever. But I don't know, they were just so quick to be like, no, yeah, he got out. But it's football for a reason, but barely it's not. They're trying to just keep the game going. It sometimes I don't know what they make it hard to get safeties on close plays, but I again, I don't know that they even had one. But yeah, he uh that poor guy was. I had the heart right up already, and then he goes in there at the half yard line and I think he completed the pass yeah, on third down to give them
a little bit of rooms so they at least punt it. I mean, he was terrible, but I had a moment where I'm like, all right, what if you put Patrick Mahomes in this dude in a Giants Jersey. What's different in this game? And there's probably a lot a lot is different, But I don't know that, you know, I think the Cowboys You're still going to smash the pants off of them. Yeah, I really do. I mean, the kid was freaking out. But what could he have done? Nothing? I don't know. He did all he could do.
I think that was keep his head on, like have a head today. What was their option if he got knocked out? Because there was one hit that he took that they were I guess Greg Olsen was intimating that he might need some attention. Took one shot to the head. I was like, curious, what this guy, former USC great Matt Barklay is still in the NFL. Yeah, I ain't the big stories we were well, I mean there's no real big story. There's a bunch of tiny stories that comes in
this game. You dominated that's the big story. Yeah, but this is the NFL. Like I always watched the stuff and be pretty try to be level headed, you know. But I don't want to be so cynical that you don't acknowledge beating the hell out of an Felt team is a good damn thing, you know. And I don't care what the points spread was.
They did what they were supposed to do, which is also a good thing, you know, And they didn't just eke out a win or even get a you know, a twenty four to seven, twenty four to ten, like they smashed them and that's good. And I don't I don't want to act like it's, oh, they should have whipped them, So who cares? Next week, Let's go until when they play the Panthers and it's going to be hopefully the same thing. What's their combined score against the Giants this
year? Eighty nine to seventeen. Yeah, yeah, I don't think for the two games, good gravy. I don't think anyone's gonna do that today. I don't think you can. I think anyone does try to. Well, that's the one thing you got to play on the game that say was bad. Maybe the Dak interception that was a bad interception, but who cares, Dak was awesome all day long. Yep. Brandon Cooks had been a storyline a little bit throughout the week, and he McCarthy once again mentioned that
he doesn't play fantasy football, so it doesn't matter to him. I mean, he catches his guys get but it was a point of emphasis to get Brandon Cooks going, and they did that nine catches and one hundred and seventy three yards I believe, with a touchdown through tim a Lot. Gallup made a couple of big plays down the field, but Ceedee Lamb is the really star of the offense. Eleven catches, one hundred and fifty one yards,
a touchdown, had a rushing touchdown. Yeah, outstanding, I think on a run man as well as they played last week against Philly, and you know, they they were talking about this in the broadcast and I guess there really are no moral victories. There shouldn't be. But maybe in a way that was that they played what's arguably the best in the NFL and we're just
a couple of inches short of winning that game. I think there's nothing better to cleanse the palette from that than to beat the absolute jock strap off of a JV team. They were not moping around in the locker room after last week's lost to the Eagles. They were obviously frush greaded that they lost. Whatever, They were fine, but they probably were like, oh we got them, Like they cannot wait to take on the Eagles in December tenth.
Yeah, they probably looked around the room and said, Okay, we didn't get the win, but there's something special here and for them, you know, it could easily, like Mikey said, gone out there and won, you know, twenty four to seventeen and made it close, and they turned the ball over a ton. Hard to beat an NFL team, hard to beat a division rival. Yeah, what do you what do you express? So it's a nice Wines were good up there, but we needed a no
doubter and that was an absolute, no doubt. It was a perfect answer to you know what was a damn good performance in Philly last week. They swept the Giants three years in a row. They must be losing their mind up there. I can't believe how good their home record is. They are losing their mind up there. And there was a lot of people up there who were not happy that they gave Daniel Jones a forty million dollar contract too. But you know, the Giants went to the playoff last year, won
a playoff game. Yeah, time for your quarterback to get paid. They get paid. I didn't really their coach one Coach of the Year last year, right, m. Dave Aubo. Yeah, Brian da he uh and he was kind of a darling last year and now they are screaming his name already, like what are you supposed to do? Man? At eight thirty? I know we'll get into the challenge flag portion. Oh boy, Brian Dave Aubo. I have a fun breakdown of that. Didn't you guess to
start the game with? You said? Ceedee Lamb quote. I couldn't find the audio. I know it exists, but that's why I didn't have a Sports at seven sponsors. I was trying to find audio of him actually saying this, But Dallas Cowboys dot Com has a quote from Ceedee Lamb And because this was in I saw a still shot. It looked like this was in a gang bang that he was talking to the entire gaggle of media. But yeah, he comes out of the gate and says, I'm the top receiver
in this game. There's no question about it. If there is, I'll see you again next week. Okay. He goes on to say it's amazing, especially when you come out with the dub. He was talking about his performance. Shout out to the guys O line holding up Dak feeding me, all of the receivers opening it up for me. It's a collective group. We're staying blessed, staying humble about it. He says, they're definitely trying to double teamy, but McCarthy is doing a great job of moving me around
Kevin and putting me in motion, lining me up on the outside. I guess you can't get a beat. It's Mike versus the DC at this point, or hitting our stride. I'm happy with it. This past month, we've been on a roll. We just got to stay consistent and stay true to us. And it ain't stopping or three weeks to get away from him moping on the sideline by himself and bitching about getting touches. And since that's
happened, he's got the ball. Yeah, it worked. It worked so well, and he went into a meeting with the DAK and McCarthy they that's pretty well understood. Yeah, and I love how every time they bring that up, and my god, week three in a row of little Baby KK always makes a point to say that it wasn't a diva type meeting. You notice that anytime he references the CD LAMB Mike McCarthy meeting. He always has to qualify it to make sure everybody knows that it wasn't him about him being
a diva wide receiver. It was really about wanting to help the team. Well, they're trying to make sure that it doesn't come off that way. And I generally get a kick out of yelling wide receivers who always think they're open, and the quarterbacks are like, oh yeah, okay, stand back here for one second and then tell me how easy it is when you think
you're open every time. But this seems to have worked. I mean, it's targets the last three weeks are through the fourteen sixteen fourteen and massive numbers, I know, last three weeks. Yeah, he's the best receiver in football now over the year, he's not really even close. There's fifteen dudes with more touchdowns than Ceedee Lamb receiving this year, including Cole Comet, you know, Bears and Romeo Dobbs, your boy and Courtland Sutton. I mean,
so he just needs, you know, more stuff. But it's it's certainly working. I love it, and it's it's it's he was right, you know, rarely is that receiver when he's bitching about not getting the ball, absolutely right, but in this case I think he was so Yeah, he is lighting it up. Still didn't see Tony Pollard break out yesterday, but we did get Rico Daddo playing really well. Not sure how much that
matters, ricause the guys get some bursts. There's a part of me that's kind of like, don't I'm not no, there's no replacement or anything, no replacement, but let's share the load a little bit. And I think that's why Tony Pollard was so I don't know, caught so many people's eyes, is because he was the change up to Zeke when Zeke was here. And I think if you can maybe lighten his load a little bit, I think the times that he does get the ball, he might I don't know,
he might be more be more impressive to the average viewer. I mean, Tony Pollard can come back next year and play at three million dollars or something like that. Now that's kind of where my head is now. Maybe the move is just to go all the way and just let him go and just keep getting younger and then reco and deuce you'll draft another running back. Yes, I like that. Do that bit if you want to, but
let him make his money somewhere else because somebody will give him something. I do value someone who does know the offense very well and has been here a long time. And I think Tony Pollard's got more left in the tank than someone like Zeke does. Zeke who was pretty good for New England yesterday, by the way. So I don't know, but it is wild they can't.
They're having a hard time getting Tony Pollard loose once again. I think fifteen carries and he was like a little bit over fifty yards a little over three yards of carry. But I mean, it's man, the game. The game was over before it started, so way a different scenario and hard to judge any stats too much outside of just cool. Those are great numbers from the guys who had great numbers. Wouldn't that be a game where you do you would hope, you know, just kind of run it silly for
the whole second half and they were still chucking it around. Boy, there's a couple drives in that second half where Dak looked so good. I mean, it's like you knew it was a completion. I've had quarterbacks on fans of in the past where I don't know if there's Remo no, because Romo so wheels off, but it's like almost like you see how they plant their feet if it's going to be a completion, before they even shift the camera to the right or left. You know, like you just know they love
this ball. How confident they are with their delivery, the mechanics of their delivery. And he's kind of at that point now you can just tell when he leans into one like oh this is this is there. He looks so good when it's clean in the pocket. When when it's little kayok in the pie. He's gotten way better at that too. But like when it's really clean, just just very smooth, And it wasn't always like that in his first two years. He's kind of shaky footwork and things like that. He
threw a lot of perfect balls. I mean, he's feeling himself, which is awesome. Is Dak is great And I hope everyone understands that, but they don't because we haven't had playoff success. But Hack is a great quarterback. He's playing better than any quarterback in football the last month or so. Now what's that mean? I don't really know. You got the Panthers next, week, you know, Washington. After that, then we'll kind of
reconnoiter and we'll take a look not to Washington. Washington won't be a won't be a cupcake. Washington will be a tough game. Probably, Seattle will be tough. Probably, is that here or there? I think their next game is on the road against Carolina, and they've got a string of home the Sea. Yeah, Seattle here a week after Thanksgiving at Panthers, then home Commanders, home Seahawks, home Eagles. Yeah. December tenth, Sunday night football. Oh, that'll be a battle the only Bills at Dolphins.
Yeah, it gets a little slippery in there. Do you think you have now? Is just like the health questions. Make sure everyone's good because you will play Sunday and then a quick turn around with the Thursday Thanksgiving Day, which they do every year and are used to at this point. So fantastic, Yeah, fantastic, good job. Do you watch the MAVs last night? I flipped it over for a minute. There's too much trouble. The
MAVs bludgeoned the Pelicans. Okay, I'm doing it. If you want to, I want you to do it. Are we do some listener brought this to my attention. The Twitter account MAVs Brazil. What about fifteen thousand followers something like that, Yeah, fourteen thousand, like, because there's international team accounts that are big supporters of random mass I mean, I'm sure there's a thousand for the Cowboys or hundreds, and they kind of like represent a whole
nation that loves this random American sports team. I was curious to the I mean, that's not a ton of followers for Twitter x, but I was curious what the Russil connection was with the MAVs. They don't have a Brazilian or team, just a huge nation that loves sports. They love some hoops and some faction of Brazilians is showsen the Mavericks for whatever reason, highly Mavericks have always been a favorite of the international community because of Dirk and Luca.
Though yeah probably since I mean there might be a Clippers Brazil and a Bucks Brazil too, I don't know. And I was unaware of this Maths Brazil account until just last night, and I wish I could credit the guy who sent it to me about whatever. And I don't even understand. I suppose this is all written in Portuguese. So most of it I don't really get. But you know, there's sort of these limits of fanmanship in the United States of what you post, and you know, and things tend to get
wheels off sometimes when you get far further away from here. And this mas Brazil account posts I assume they're AI generated images of the MAVs when they beat it, when they beat another team, right like, they don't even follow up. It's MAVs underscore brest seal a b r A s I L So check it out if you want, But if you follow them, they're gonna post a hundred times during the game. It's all in Portuguese. You're not gonna understand much, but they put some stuff in English, and these images
need no language. So the MAVs are represented by this giant buff horse right right. He's quite muscular, who's mean looking, and he's got a Dallas jersey on, and he's always carrying a bat, a wooden baseball bat. And when the MAVs beat another team, they show this image of the MAVs horse with a baseball bat that is just so bloody as they've now bludgeoned the
other team. Whatever their mascot is or whatever represent this other team. So the first one I saw was after last night's game or they beat the Pelicans, and it just says in a in huge letters, horse smash. And it's this dead Pelican with this crazy look on his face in a pool of blood and this mad MAVs horse just holding at the viscous blood they're just dripping off of the bat, the gooeyest, bloodiest bat. Like you couldn't post this here, you know, I mean, hell, someone got fired in
Houston for the emojis of shooting a horse, remember m hm? Oh wow, yeah, remember that for a few years ago. But the funnier one is a couple of games ago when the MAVs beat the Clippers, right m hm. So it's the sill of buff MAVs horse holding this bat, and on the ground is five dead Clippers players all in just this sea of blood. It's like a scene out of Scarface. And it does say fatality across
the front with the mortal Mortal Kombat font. But this one, I don't know if it's translated to English or they just wrote this, but let me read you the caption. So the picture again, horse, bloody bat, dead Clippers humans all over the ground in just a sea of red blood, and the caption is, yeah, the Dallas MAVs psychopath horse put them to sleep in the strawberry juice. I'm like, what, all right? Put to sleep? The Dallas MAVs psychopath horse put them to sleep in the strawberry
juice. Gosh, Champ so Brazil, Yeah, Champ Brazil. MAVs is fired up for somebody for good things. Dallas Mavericks. The eight and two Dallas MAVs thirty fire from Kyrie last night already from Luca playing very well, running, running and gunning man. Yeah, you like this new up, up tempo MAVs. I do. I do like it. Eight and two tied with the Nugs. You're defending champs best record in the Western Conference. Well keep it up tomorrow night. Who we have? You know what we
need? Uh? I don't know if it's happening or not. I hope it is. They have at UH at New Orleans again, all right, Pelican, wake up, Wake up, Pelly. Interesting. Yeah, they're in a little roady two at New Orleans, then at Washington at Milwaukee. Should be good. What we need. I don't know if it's happening, like statistically looks great, but we need Luca and Kyrie to become best friends
and like on the floor, it looks like it's happening. I'm sure they get along great, but they do seem like odd personalities, both of them probably bullheaded as hell. I never see him sitting next to each other on the sidelines, do Yeah, I don't. I don't know if it's happening, but winning and lighting other teams up and both of them getting their numbers might lead to it. But we need the did we just become best friend's moment? And they're doing a lot of like you feed me, I knock
it down, next play, I feed you. So I don't know if after however many months, it's still a feeling out process or it's still like man, I like you, I like you too, you're cool. Translation, man, wins can make that happen. Yes, and and it happens with those two, we might have something that you don't want, you don't want none of. Last night was Kyrie's first game as being the leading scorer
on the team thirty five thirty five seven, ten for three. I do think Kyrie has acquiesced that Luca is the man, and maybe That's what Luca needed. And Kyrie is mature enough to handle it, handle that in a way that Luca probably isn't. It's all good until they start run in games, and then you know, we'll figure out. If Kyrie was the leading scorer in seven or eight of these games, look whom to be sulking. He'd be like, ha ha ha, very very good, but yes,
sulking on the inside. Probably. Yeah, Luke's still young. He needs to be the man, and he is. But yes, Kyrie can handle it. Back to back to Tomorrow, New Orleans, Wednesday, Washington, as you said, Mikey, and then a fund went on Saturday against the Bucks, a very good team. So there's your mass update and your cowboy stuff coming up next in the scuttle. But there was a plane crash this weekend and involved a car. I'll tell you more next to ninety seven one. The freak
