It's the Downbeat ninety seven one the Freak. Yeah, today at nine o'clock we'll do part one at the Clip of the Year Clips Show countdown. Take all the best clips from this year on ninety seven w in the Freak All shows. Put them on a little Google doc. Let the listeners vote, and I tallied them and we'll start at fifty. We'll do fifty through forty one today at nine o'clock. So don't miss that. It's gonna be funny. Find the clips. Yeah, there's all people. Some things people have
missed probably boo. Yeah, it's okay. I don't know. We've been working blue just early. It's fine. It's seven o'clock. I'm a clean family comedian. So you're like the Brian Reagan of radio. Yeah, I fancy myself more of a bargazzi, but whatever, I think Brian Reagan. Reagan's great, Like, he's really fun. I've never heard of that person. You know him if you saw him, Yep, he's been doing it a long time too. That's fluffy. No, he's not too fluffy.
Gaffigans who you're thinking. Yeah, Gaffigan's clean too, though I'm thinking of a Gabriel Eglesius, Oh fluffy comedian he calls himself fluffy, Yes, the only I know about him. Well, I look forward to hearing all your clips. I think that's gonna be awesome. And I love that the listeners voted. Yeah, there their pick. It's in their hands. Yeah, the listeners were in the palm of your hands. You have to decide whether
to crush them or to elevate them or flick them. Is you're a tremendous actor, we will Well, I think I can be without training and playing that again today and telling you I listened to it four times this weekends. His clip of why he's would be a tremendous actor did not make the vote, did not make the best for it on there. It's the funniest clip
of the year. You know. That's the problem with this is there's a conflict of interest in you compiling this because how many Kevio moments could have dominated that list. Well, I say, through the year, groups and Christina and I kind of keep an archive everything so clips. You know, they're
responsible for sending clips from their shows and sending them. So I've just got this big file to work through, and I went through and I just put the funny stuff up there and a lot of being bott of boom every day this week. Now, you didn't see a lot of being bottom boom coming at seven o'clock today, But what you did see coming was Sports Now Sports. Yeah, we're gonna let Sports a seven to be brought to you by zero Res today. Guys. All right, stay tuned. We're twenty spot
pending twenty minutes away from a zero res life spot with Danny Bayless. Stay tuned for that. We've got to scuttle boat with some news coming at you at seven point thirty. I have to look back at the year end news
here in the Metroplex. But it's my first day back. I do want to hear well because Danny missed last week, before I get into what happened yesterday and how it pretends to the Cowboys and the Eagles and the chaos in the NFC, before we get to the college football playoff corruption, Danny, you were off last week. The big story of last week is that Mark Human is selling the Mavericks incredible. I wanted to give you the floor if you had a hot take, if you had a well what you thought about
all that? Because it is a wild story. I thought it was interesting the shares that he sold. It was a majority stake, right, And what was the number on that. I think it was two bills, like money two bill right, yeah, because everyone's like three point four to three point five and again he's not getting that. I think it's about two billion, which is what he chunked off, and that's the money he'll get. Now he's not technical majority owner, but he is going to stay on as
basketball operations. Okay, So just the portion that Mark Cuban sold of his shares in the MAVs was enough to buy Hawaiian Airlines. Oh and you think of an airline as something that would be worth a lot more than a basketball team, right, I mean you would think, yeah, Because I was reading this article, I was going to put this in Dingy's Morning News. We've got tons of stuff, so I'll just kind of make the correlation here.
So Alaskan air is buying Hawaiian Airlines for one point nine billion dollars, which is just the stake that Mark Cuban sold in the MAVs. So that's not what the MAVs are worth. They're worth a lot more than two billion dollars. You know, it just goes to show, dude, that the business side of sports and the revenue generated, and we know it's huge, but I don't think that our dumb moron brains can fully get our get our minds around just the type of influence, power and cash that being involved in
one of these teams means. Like fully, Yeah, well, I hate to say, but I think immediately on the other side of it is that you know, Elon Twitter forty four billion and he could have bought the Cowboys and had twenty five billion left over. Yeah more than that. Yeah, So anyway, I don't know, telling sponsors to go f themselves and that whole disaster. And I read all the stuff. You know that it's a play. It's a long game, and it has been a long game for
Cuban for quite a while. And he wants to build a new arena, but he wants to make sure it's got infrastructure in place for when, if, and when you know, gambling becomes okay, casino gambling becomes legal in the state of Texas. I thought it was odd considering and look, I know people tried to expose a lot of the political connections with all of this
because I know Cuban to be I don't know. I would say fairly, I don't know either centric or left if you had to lean one way, and that the ties that the new owner has or kind of on the other side of that. But lude it is the state of Texas, and I think Cuban, above all, you know, above politics, is a guy that likes to make money and likes power and likes to be to be able to have influence. I don't think this has anything to do with a presidential
run. I think this all has to do with using whatever influence on either side, left or right to get gambling legal in Texas. Because if he is, if he is a maverick, no pun intended that in that campaign, if he's at the forefront of that campaign, he stands to gain so much. This is business. This is straight business. And you know what, if I've got to sell off part of my team to somebody that's probably gonna have a lot of influence in a very red state, all right,
let's do it. Yeah. Yeah, I think I think all that's pretty spot on. And I think they did say there was like a footnote in one of these articles I was reading about this is that the Addison family is committed for now to being noncommittal on the twenty twenty four election, but like their history shows that they were one of Trump's biggest donors, and I was like, well that, I mean, it does make sense that they would give a lot of money to the Republican Party considering that Texas is run by
Republicans. It just seems like this was a if you can't beat them, join them move in a way. Yeah, I mean the endgame for him is just get the casino going, and that's his focus and it doesn't change his day to day I mean, just perfect for him. Sounds like, I mean, I couldn't find a negative outside of the one thing where if it did come down to it, like you just can't say I'm the majority owner. That's it. Everything else can said the same. So there's that.
Dom de Sandro, I cannot believe we're talking about Dom Dessandro. He has been a senior advisor to the general manager and a chief security officer for the Eagles since nineteen ninety nine, and he found himself in the news yesterday as the Eagles got destroyed forty two to nineteen by the forty nine Ers, And I can't believe that that is not the headline that the forty nine ers
just wiped out the Eagles. Well, and if you watch the first quarter of that game, in just the first quarter, you would be shocked to see the final score because it looked like the Eagles were going to absolutely even though they were only able to come away with a couple of field goals in their red zone drives. Didn't you think that? Oh my god, yeah, I fortyniners couldn't move the ball, And that is the head headline that the forty nine ers mopped the floor with. Absolutely, Dom just hander was
not the national headline. I think he is man. Well, if you search his name, yeah, he would be the headline. But no, but yes, I am intrigued by this. For sure. All people are talking about right now he's Dom de Sandro. People are saying Dom Desandro should not have been involved in a scuffle. So he's no, he's on the sideline like he is, and he's hanging out with sirianni uh and just kind of goofing on the sideline. There's a play over by the sideline. Again,
we are the show of record, who is long? Said? Too many damn people on the sidelines. Let's go ahead and clear the mess over there a lot of people and do you know how these altercations go. There's probably a little, a little jawing back and forth going on. And then Dre Greenlaw, the linebacker for the forty nine ers, almost hits him. I mean, he's got a fist and he does throw the fist at him a little bit. Now, I think you would define it as more of
a jab. I'd define it more as a cat playing with the yarn. Yeah, it really is. But it ends up getting Dre Greenlaw thrown out of the game. And it's because the games in Philadelphia, the fans are going wild for Dom Desandro. Now, Kevin Burkhart and Greg Olsen Man, I didn't really maybe, and don't maybe I'm just too close to the Cowboys. Now. I didn't really like the way they handled it because one of
their first plays was he gave us some great restaurant recommendations in town. Oh yeah, And then they went okay, so I'm still full, yeah all right, And I'm like, oh man, this guy, to a lot of people is going to be seen as a villain. Here. You guys are talking about you. You had some good restaurant options from him. No, no, no, they seen as a villain. They themselves said that he's going to be a hero after that Philadelp. But yeah, everywhere else,
I think it's going like what all messed up? He didn't really do anything, did he? Well, we don't know that, right, That's the thing. What really happened. He said something, okay, and if you sideline, if you give me on the sideline and provoke a player, that would cause that player to be ejected. Well, he kind of pushed him. I mean they were green Law on some and whoever it is, uh, DeVante Smith were like face to face right on the sideline, and
the refs are going to break it up. Some coaches are too and sweet dom Dessandro runs in their big arm on green Law shoving him back and and a bit of a push, an extension of the arm push, and then green Law kind of throws that job. I felt like the actions were there was a distinction between the two. I thought like Dessandro's actions were that of
hey, separation, not aggression. Yeah, Mainlaws was of aggression. He was in a weak ass way trying to like throw a punch, I guess, yeah, But he went for his face with a closed fist, and it's not exonerated by any means here. I guess my problem is now, so every team's got security guards on their staff, well know this, But now does every team just hire a big goon to get involved? And anytime there's a play near the sideline, you get on the field and start mixing
it up with players that is highly out of line. It was out of line. It's just like dom Desandro came running from one end of the field to the other to get in this melee. It happened right in front of him. But also he should not be involved. No, he should not be involved. You're absolutely right. And it always irks me when you see some spare you know that's rid in proximity to the head coach jawn with referees yelling and opposing teams players. It's like, who are you? I don't
see why that's even allowed to fly. Yeah, especially on an NFL side, Well it's not. Well, there's a there's rules that like non essential personnel, and I think technically there's rules that coaches aren't are not allowed to like engage obviously engage, but even like I don't think it's technically legal for a coach to yell and gesture at an opposing player. I think you're right, But I think there's leeway for a head coach or even a known member
of a coaching staff. I suppose because it does happen sometimes, but not for security man to have beef with a forty nine er. And I'm not even like but just because we're in cowboys town, I hate the Eagles guy. You know, I'm not gonna do some contrived stuff. I you know, I don't have I don't know any Eagles fans. I don't associate with, you know, a lower form of human. But one thing I do like have a big problem with is there's no the president's been set. Well,
you got a little home field advantage right now. You don't get the crowd into it. Get you a big goon, get him out there, throw a little shoulder at a player. Does it matter? But the guy's gonna get suspended. Who cares? You provoke the other team and make them who's a player? You've done your job, I mean to me, you've opened the floodgates for a lot of stuff that could be happening now. Well begs the question who is strategically who is the Dom Desandro of the Cowboys?
Do we even know? It used to be Rob Davis? I mean Rob Davis was a He was a coach for the Packers for many years with McCarthy. He was also Dennis Rodman's bodyguard for a while. But it used to be Rob Davis. I'm not sure if Rob Davis is still with the team though. If Rob Davis still coaches for the Cowboys, then AM surprised that you even know that, Like, why do we know this? Well? Because I used to be pretty close to the Cowboys. But that's okay.
So you're an exception though, And and he was in Green Bay with McCarthy too. Most people don't know who these The fact that Dom Desandro is even rolling off of any of our tongues on a Monday on the radio is just ridiculous. We didn't bring Roosevelt back. That's why I see security man. Get Rosie. Yeah, get Rosie back on the sideline, Yeah, where it belongs. I don't think he's yeah, I don't think he's in good shape. No, I don't know that he's in bad shape. Is that
he's not allowed around anymore. He's not allowed to be around anymore. I think that's what it is. Can you imagine the stack of NBA exactly what I'm saying. You can imagine that The other guy was David Wells HM, which was casually dess agent for a while early in Des' career, but he was known as the fixer, you know, when that's what Dom is for the Eagles. They call him the fixer. When you use the perfect descriptor
non essential. That's what I see on sidelines. The majority of what you see on an NFL sideline to me, to you, it looks non essential. But I guess every one of those people has a reason to be there and has a legitimate function. I thought we did this article. We did Dolphins a few weeks ago. Yeah, we did what didn't get close to all of the people that are on the sidelines. Though cheerleaders even need to
be on the sidelines. I mean, it's gonna happen. A player is going a place in a get out of bounds, A player is gonna roll it. A cheerleader's gonna gonna knock a chiller's head off. Buckle, Well, it's good buckle. The legs is gonna hit her back of her head on the on the comode. How many times per week do we see a guy get hit on the sideline and you're sitting there going, I think he he might be knocked out, pans back and he's probably fine at least once
a third and two. And it's always a dude wearing khakis with holding some cables. Right, well, obviously we have to talk about broken leg. Man to say Saints and lines, now, is that kind of the chain gang. I don't know. I thought I think you said like referees assistant or something. It is one of the most gruesome sideline injuries I've ever seen. Oh, the knee snaps, the legs snap apps, and the knee buckle backwards. No, that's always a flow the knee, okay, and
player running into him. I didn't Alvin Kamara, Oh wow, Okay, so at least he got a big name. You know when he tells the story later, you do want that, I guess right. You don't want it to be a back up like if it was Sweetness back in the day. Oh, you're awesome. Oh, Man, Walter got a compound fracture from Sweetness, right, But if Peyton or Matt Suey, Obviously you're picking
h picking sweetness. It's what's what's kind of gross about it that so the guy, first of all, he's wearing like the vest, uh and yellow and black right yellow and black strip vessel. He was a chain gang guy.
And you see it happen. You see the ref look at it, and then one of the players reacts when the players go, oh, Camara is like right next to him, and when they kind of fell in a pile and the guy's laying right here and imagine he's wailing like a like Malcolm trying to sit on Tanta's lap, and Camara kind of does a double take.
The guy's list that hell out of here. I mean, he looked back and I would imagine had sympathy as a human, but he also, you know, the play clock was running, by the way, sick Matt sue reference that a lot. Thanks me, dog. They're saying it's a dislocated knee. That's it. Is that better? It's actually better, I would say, and pop it. He's uh, oh, it's so sad looking. But I thought it was like, well, they're gonna have to
amputate it because it's pointing the wrong way. And you know how those things. You imagine if some Civil War doctor came out of the tunnel with a bone saw just locked the lean in the musket. He's got the Cowboys cow the cowboy hat on the Cowboys trainer. Oh kind of stats and hats and saw my leg. Oh no, just take it. Yeah, dude, there's two big ones, two big nonsense. Wow. I guess I don't know. I don't was he remember the chain Gang? Okay, fine,
then I guess you're essential. You can lop off probably sixty percent of the humans on an NFL sideline don't need to be there. Yeah, and I'm not because we're friends with you know, Brett Kelly and some of the and Noah Bullard did some of these great photogs who are in the end zone of every game. And yeah, that's part of the job. K. But is that essential? I guess, I you know, do you need local
news angles of Yes, I'm not going against that. X. I love those boys and they provide some of the coolest damn video highlights of any you know in Cowboys history. Yeah, but there's a lot of them. Well even at the camera people underneath the rim, you know, basketball games, there's right there, any type of action that goes in the core, like
someone's gonna get hit. Yes, And how about the security guards who get in trouble if they glance backward at the field of play, they don't feel it coming, and then they get rolled up right, that's terrible cut the leg double cut, landing on their heads. No, yeah, they never see it coming, or they do, but they feel like they never moved because, yeah, they're so good. They're so good at their job,
because they could hear like the freight train rumbling around the corner. And then human nature to try to take a glance the living life, like Tony in the final episode of Sopranos, you never see it coming. Well, chaos in the NFL sideline, And yes, the forty nine ers were without dre greenlaw but under reported. You talk about Dom Delaise, Dom de santostmony. Yeah, Rick de Santo's under reported those when he was ejected. Then the
Philly sideline not secure for their many not secure. So that's about when the forty nine ers went on a big run. Coincidence, not a coincidence. Eagles ten and two, Cowboys down nine and three. Of course, this Sunday Sunday night. We'll be waiting all day for it, Cowboys and the Eagles. You know, I actually will be this time waiting all the m day for Sunday night. She's right. This week I wanted a three twenty five game, getting tired of the night games. But whatever, you guys
had one last week. I don't know that was Friday morning. Was a great position here. They're also the home game, clearly Cowboys six and oh at home this year. If you get the win, you would still be behind the Eagles, I believe in what and a tiebreaker? Well, but you would be knotted up at ten and three. I saw that, and hellman, y'all's buddy. Technically, if they win Sunday Night, the Cowboys
will be in the league. Oh really, how well, because they've played more either division they have it's a division record common opponent, oh division division record, I think, and they we've played more, so the Cowboys have a better division record one and they'd be three and one. Yes, So in the moment, the Cowboys will lead the East if they win that game.
But yes, it'll even out once the Eagles complete. I think two games to come with the Giants maybe, Okay, so I was looking ahead the conference tricker, because the Cowboys are six and three, it's the conference. The Eagles are six and one against the conference, so gareaker. Yes, I'm pretty sure. Yes, the Eagles would have a game in hand there, so the Cowboys will technically be leading. But yes, we would need the Eagles to take another l that is, you know, less than
likely against their opponents. Acts had to leave the game for a little birstate Himan. He's banged up, and he was banged up the last time we played him, and we should have beat him. So it's the Cowboys are ready for this one, like they are geared up. And I'll tell you right now, a week ahead of it, I'll be picking them to win.
I'm already I'm getting concerned only because of the narrative and the NFL intelligentsia for weeks now has been like, look, I don't know if the Eagles are as good as that number, and the vibe has been the Cowboys are better than that number. And we've been looking at this game forever and almost expecting the Cowboys to get them. Yeah, and I hate that every finger quote, smart NFL person is all over Cowboys are gonna thump them. Yeah, Cowboys open is a three point favorite, and man, I think so
too. Point differential this year Cowboys plus one sixty eight, forty nine Ers plus one sixty three Eagles plus forty one. Yeah, and point diff is is generally a pretty good one. And let me just have all of that. I want nothing to do with the forty nine ers for a third straight year of the one. And what a mystery that San Francisco is a three loss team and three in a row. Wasn't that after bye week two?
For them? They're effing good, look like a team that should have three losses and Philly does not look like a team until you know yesterday's game that should only have one loss. Well, ever, at the stat of the morning is what is it? Eighty eighty nine to twenty five or something? The combined score the forty nine Ers played the Cowboys and Eagles impresses smashed, embarrassed both of us. Smash smash, smash, smash mouths at Ato like
Luca on an injured reserve boat Luca. In March this March I heard at eight o five the college football playoff. Corruption. I'll call it corruption. I don't care Cash is calling in mikeswer Cash is calling it. Eight fifteen he went to the damn sphere. Great day coming up next though, it's the scuttle Butt, Part one of five. I look back at the year in News next time that he said won the freaking
