You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven. Kind of like a magician. She was able to make things disappear. Yeah, she was the David Blaine of pornography. Oh no, put on there. Oh no, we're just guys having casual conversations off there. We didn't realize their MIC's run out of five dumplings. How wild was that story? I told you in the break that was insane. I wish you could tell that on the radio and your character like that. No, I wouldn't. I think you could tell that
story on the radio. Absolutely could. It's fascinating. I wish that It's just not true. That's what's the point. Yeah, I don't know if I would if I were. People don't care. People care about our personal lives. No, they don't. Topic one has Stars won last night? Four to three. Good job Stars, Run Stars, Guy go on. Luca is a starter in the All Star Game Star MAVs Hawks tonight. That's at six for him at five thirty with Kevin Gray here on the Freak.
We're going to football this segment, so you can break the technical tie tonight. Yeah, Luca versus Dray Young. Did you see Luca? He was on O with Chuck and Shack. Yep, last night, are they does it? Did he fly for that? Well that they're in out Atlanta, so okay, okay, cook, I assumed that was the case. Yeah, but they asked him about kicking a fan out and all this, and Luca was well dressed, looking nice. It was cool to have him on
the set. Yeah, he admitted, he's like I have pribace screwed up, just so likable, like you see it like that, he's like, he's not freaking out. He's the best. Yeah. I almost felt guilty last night for the Luca kind of ripping because we're sick of the pouting. But we love you. We love you so hard. I think we gave a very balance. Okay, uh kind of take on that that look. It is tiresome, but we do understand. None of us can fathom the
amount of pressure regardless. And everybody's gonna say, well, you're freaking multi millionaires. Part of the you know, part of what you signed up for when you get into this game. Okay, well and good, but look, dude, I don't care how much money you get. No amount of money can help you manage that amount of emotion and pressure right, and yeah, if he's getting railed the entire game, I'm not excusing it. I'm not saying it's it's the right thing to do. But he's Yeah, he's
twenty four. I can see both sides of them. Just a part that people like us, anyone that comments on him and he's doing, need to really think about this. The nineteen times a game that he's driving full speed to the rim and he gets hit hard by another grown man. That makes
you mad, Like that makes you mad? So I don't. I mean, there's there is the part of like, hey, dude, you gotta handle bad things better, right, but right, like we all get frustrated, but we manage our frustrating you know, calm imagine if that frustration was rooted in someone just whacking you. Yet work, every every three minutes someone hits you, hold out your arm. I'm gonna karate chop your arm full
speed. That's gonna hurt, and I'm gonna be mad about it. So like, I don't know, we need to keep that in our heads. There And half the time it happens, you don't get to shoot free throws, Yes that's true. Yeah, yeah, And then they don't acknowledge that it ever happened. That we love you, Luca. Absolutely. We let the MAVs tonight and then tomorrow. I'm gonna be in the house Monday night. Mike, You're gonna be in the house Saturday night, Saturday night.
So for at the mass game, come say hey, do us think I'm doing copy a site? Don't come up there. I don't want to go. No, can I come to the suite? Actually you have your credential. I don't know it's a they give or not. Did I lose? I have lost? That's the thing I can't remember. I know that they were in for us. That just okay. Uh, in a minute, some of the NFL A ward are out and we got a lot of We have a little fun with that. I want to get to a quick coaching
news. Uh. The Eagles hired Vic Fangio is their defensive cour co ordinator and that is on a small sample size, probably not the best news for the Cowboys. If you remember the game from two years ago in twenty twenty one, the famous Blueprint game where basically after the game, Vic Fangie said, yeah, that's the blueprint to stopping Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense as he was with the Broncos at the time. Dak does not have great stats
against Vic Fangio defenses, but that's whatever. He's going back to the Eagles to be their defensive coordinator. They have an interview with Kellen Moore today for the offensive coordinator job, as Jim Harbaugh is now the coach of the Chargers, so Kellen Moore out of the job in LA. He's interviewing with the Browns and the Eagles today for the OC job. Kellen Moore is the OC for the Eagles. I don't like that. I don't like someone who knows
everything about my quarterback coaching for another team that ain't great. I don't know if it's just for us here the shine it was off Kellen Moore enough to where I don't really, I don't know. I guess I'm probably very wrong to not consider him one of the big bright NFL offensive mines in the NFL because I kind of just I don't fear him like that. I can't say it. Why do we fear assistant coaches? Do we add more weight to what they do? No? I think that's than we should. No,
I think maybe not enough weight. Because I think in a lot of cases like here, you know, the head coach is sort of the figurehead and manager of the whole thing, but the actual offense will be the baby of the offensive coordinator. But doesn't the success of a unit, Isn't it proportionate as far as in relation to the coach with the personnel that you actually have
on the field. Yeah, of course. It's one thing to say that Dan Quinn's a mastermind genius, but it's also safe to say that, well, maybe a lot of that started when we got Micah Parsons in the draft too. Me, Kellen Moore would have been a lot better with the Cowboys offense if he had Brandon Cooks and a good Jake Ferguson like that. I can't say this because it turns into fan McCarthy hole Mike McCarthy thing, and I hate Mike McCarthy and all that hittuff. The reason the Cowboys running game
sucked has nothing to do with Ezekiel Elliott. It has everything to do with your run designer. Kellen Moore is a good running game designer, left Mike McCarthy is a notoriously bad run game designer. There you go, It's that simple, and that's what happened. So that's that changes. I can guarant see Tony Pollard would look much better this year. Obviously, the injury too is a little bit. Be able to look much better if they were running
better offensive offensively designed plays in the run game. But whatever, Well, I did work with the Chargers because it was the Chargers offense. He's not very good, is dan Quinn staying? I think running out of openings. Belichick and dan Quinn me, there's only two to left right now, right, Washington and Seattle. Raheem Morris gets the job in Atlanta as they basically chose Arthur Blank basically as GM Rich McKay go, Yeah, we'll take Raheem
Morris, who I like and have liked for many years. He will be the head coach. Bill Belichick gets passed up. The Panthers hired Dave Canalis, the offensive coordinator for the Bucks, and no one saw that coming. So now you got Washington and Seattle open dan Quinn, you know, has a chance to get that Seattle job, but I don't know that it's gonna
end up that way. I think he's back. And the other thing I wanted to point out in this little bit of coaching tidbits the Packers do with the coordinator job is open now and there's a bunch of Packers media and not see it. So yesterday Bhuch of Packers media started throwing out the name Al Harris, who is the Packer the Cowboys defensive backs coach as d C as d C, which he's unproven, but you know he he would take a promotion. He would leave on a lateral move, but a promotion. Now.
I don't know how realistic that is, but I thought it was interesting. Like two or three Packers media type started throwing that name around yesterday. He played there there is a connection of some sort, and I look, statistically it's undeniable. I don't know if it correlids, but that the Cowboys spent a decade incapable of getting turnovers and interceptions and then pretty much right when Al Harris got here as the dv's coach, suddenly they got a ton of
picks. I you know, I don't think so. I don't think it would he would. I don't know how. I don't think this is terribly realistic, because if Dan Quinn gets the Seattle job, the Cowboys are going to hire Joe Witt to be their defensive coordinator. Joe Wits their passing game coordinator right now, So defensive defensive passing game coordinator. Yeah, you know, and Al hareison just dB coach, but even a Green Bay offered him some type of promotion, you know, a little more money you might go
up there. So some to watch, because I do think I think you're the one kind of called attention to this thing. Al hare should be getting credit for the turnovers and things like that. Yeah, so do you think uh? I and the Belichick thing, I mean, that's if he wants a gig. I mean he because Seattle and Washington didn't really interview him obviously or showed much interest or there's been virtually no whispers there. So it is leaning toward Bill Belichick is not a head coach in the NFL next year,
at least for one year. Now. The you know, the fun rumor around here would be take a year off. Might be a big job opening right around the part any of what happens. I mean, if he wants a defensive coordinator job, I'm sure he could have one that would be insane in no way. I can't imagine him taking the commander's gig either, can you I don't know. I think it's possible, just because new ownership, you know, how to interview in Atlanta twice and not get it, and
he obviously wanted it. And then I was thinking, the dude hasn't done an interview in twenty five years. Maybe he sucks at it. I've been and he sucks at it. And then they do all these other interviews with these lively you know, modern new vogue coaches whatever, and then all right, well, I guess you're a legend. I don't know. I just he's probably not blow you away interview. He kind of walks in there with his fingers jangling from all the rings and just sort of points at him and
says yeay or nay. He brings his husky in there with him. No from the draft hits in the venue bill draft Expert, I'm just a sign that says no pets. You saw this sign? Awards, I've all, yeah, did we talk enough certainly about MVP? You know, oh, Dak MVP candidate whatever. Uh. Yesterday in the evening, the Associated Press NFL Awards finalists were named. I'm staring at them, so I don't get to play. But if you guys want to play, we can zip through
these real quick if you like. There are five candidates for each of these categories. Most Valuable Player is the first one on the menu. Danny Fire obviously, Dak made it. Dak did make it. He is one of the five finalists. Correct, So you don't have to Lamar Jackson absolutely, my homies mm hm no, Patrick tyreek Hill, not for jo Josh Allen, Yes, Christian McCaffrey, Christian McCaffery, yes, last one, Jordan Jalen Hurts No, Jared Goff, Matt Stafford get the right position though,
quarterback and you're in the right state with what now? Which? What's your most recent guest's Stafford? Oh Brock party one of the five finalists. He looks like Howard Duck m Valuable Player? Is it Howard D Duck? Howard Duck Offensive Player of the Year, Tyreek Hill, Tyreek Hill, Christian mccaff Christian McCaffrey, c D. Lamb. And then two guys who are previously
mentioned, Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott. But two of the five Offensive Player of the Year candidates fighting Dallas Cowboys and it's Lamar will be m v P and Dak will be the runner up for MVP and check out Tyreek or McCaffrey as offensive player there that's usually uh d p O y okay, Max Crosby, Yes, Max Crosby, J Watt yes, t J. Watts. Parsons yes, Michael Parsons. You said Garrett Miles, Garrett one of the boss No, No, you're missing one. Is it still? Is it
a past rusher defensive line? Oh? Uh? Derond for Defensive Player of the Year said it first? You said it first? How we were thinking at the same cabin, said at first? The light bulb went off for you first. Yeah, I'm just slow. No points awarded, unnected to the winner, but offen the player of the year. You have two Cowboys defensive player years. You have two Cowboys only five in each category. That's sick boy and seven forty five. I've got a stat that's going to blow
your mind about the final four weekend? Get ready for that? I can't, he said, what's sick bro bro Coach of the Year Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell, Uh, you know, I think that the Browns coach Stefanski will get some love here. He is getting enough love to be a candidate for Coach of the Year. Kevin Stefanski. Who's the Titans coach? Vrabel he's fired? Uh, you mean Texans though Texansnika Rans is
on the list, Yes he is. Mi McCarthy. Not appearing in your picture is Mike mccar John Harball, John Harbaugh, absolutely Shanahan and that is all five Ken Year candidates. Kevin, you're doing pretty good. I'm kind of a football god, kind of not. You want to do these other ones? Oh? I hit me doing fast offensive, Rookie of the Year Stroud Stroud, others. You'll Poka Nicula, Pooka Nkula spell at Hulk. Well, not for now, but you have that. I'll play I don't
want to hear the Pooka. The Sports Inferno with the Bit and Skin show airing today sometime from ten to two. Yeah, I've got a clip of it to play for you at nine thirty five today. Apparently iHeart invested in a telephone. All right, we're back on top. Help me out there now, Mike, There you go, good one. Sam Laporta absolutely a
tight end for the Lions. I only follow veterans, not the only lion Jazzi Smith shut up, Jameson Williams now mm hmm, Gibbs, and then the preseason favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year who just didn't get enough carries but he still had a pretty solid season, Jon Robbinson. You are damn he correct played for that idiot, Arthur Smith. All right, we're not
doing Defensive Rookie of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year. DeMar Hamlin is on the list, and he probably will just walk to that thing. Yeah, he deserved. Orser died on the damn field, I know. But I'm just saying, is that adding it's there's some novelty to the nomination and the ultimate win. But it's the right thing to do. I know it's the right thing to do. But do his stats no measure. He does not even suited up for half the games. Okay, that because it's
the right thing to do, because of the implication. All right, all right, old football for a reason. I'm gonna find that rams pooka a kua a bit right there. But I don't think I have it right now. All right, I wanted it, though I wanted it. It's in my email now here. It is here. It is. I'm a beast. No, I don't have it. Sorry, I thought I had it. I looked up something real quick and later we're going to talk. What are we doing? This is sports? Right? Yeah? I saw a
Twitter analysis deal on what states? How many of the fifty states are cheering for? Which of the four teams? Right? Like because they can analyze conversation and all that stuff. So I guess which of the four teams, Lions, forty nine Ers, Chiefs, Ravens. Do you think has the most support the most amount of states They're cheering for them to win the Super Bowl? Lions because they're underdogs and haven't been there. Very very correct.
Thirty seven states, Yeah, pledged allegiance to Detroit. Yeah, as America's team. Where you at on that? So? Yeah? Absolutely? Yeah? Yeah, I think so too. I hate the forty nine ers. I do not care. I want the forty nineers to go away. I do too. I thought this thing because America, you know, thirty seven states were sort of all if you don't have a team, you're pulling for the Lions. By the way, the Packers should have beat the forty nine
ers. I haven't said it enough. They let that slip through their grasp. I'm sorry, Kevin, you got to play perfect against them to beat them. I've been being real nice to you over the last week. Go ahead. So, because of their support, Lions are sort of for the next two weeks like a de facto America's choice, America's team. And I was like, what if if the Lions won the Super Bowl, they should
essentially steal the moniker of America's team. Yes, like as a blank you to the current state of the Cowboy And there will be a massive lawsuit because I know that's got to be trademarked, copyrighted, however you whatever that falls under, is it? Yes, that's there. They've got that thing locked up as a brand. How much does that contribute to all of it? But I think even Cowboy fans, frustrated and disenfranchised Cowboys fans might even be
like, fine, yes, stick take care. We don't need zingers and nicknames. We need wins. Does everyone want the Ravens to beat the Chiefs. We're talk about these games at sev forty five. Okay, yeah, come out next. Let's do the scuttle Buck. Because there was a plane that was stolen from a flight School in Addison, right right near the Addison
Airport. There's a couple of miles from the studio here. But what actually happened on that flight, including the flight audio next to ninety seven won the free
