You're listening to the downbeat nine the Street All good morning Leftter seven o'clock, February fifth. It's a Monday sting you KT. My name is Mike Siroy morning JJ. How are we doing? You can't hear your wave? Do you watch the Grammys? No? I did? You don't care about all that a movie girl. I watched all the I watched pretty much all the damn Grammys, and I have a hot entertainment opinion. Give it you, guys. I know we have some audio. We're gonna talk Grammys at eight
right hour from now. Interesting evening, but a fun morning planned. Stick with a six or ten am each and every weekday morning thingus Morning News coming up at eight thirty. Always fun. We got fun ass week planned, like a lot of work bits, so many bits. It's super Bowl week, man, we haven't even brought that up and crank it up for super
Bowl week. I think we're gonna talk a little bit of super Bowl stuff and uh some other other assorted sporting event chenib real quick for Dinghy's morning News. Mikey, if you that that shipment of liquid heroin you were expecting, I anticipate some delays. I'm sorry, I'll tell you why at eight thirty Double Damn Sports at seven with Kevin? Is it the Suez Canal again? You don't even know where the Suez Canal is now. I think we gave him on Google Maps, you could find the Suez Central America. No,
that's the Panama Canal. Bro keep going twenty four seconds. Canals out there in Europe? No, no, out there in Europe. But you're kind of your clothes there. Good, keep going east. I don't care go to the middle. He doesn't care long as things are fun. I care when a ship gets stuck in. You referenced the Suez Canal a lot, and you bitch about the supply chain all the time. Yes, change shortages this year. That's why we can get Christmas gifts this year. I got
plenty of things. Nobody got Christmas gifts this year. Yeah, we're focusing on the mortgage this year. Well that's true. Singers song, what are we doing? What do you want to start with? Well you want to start with Cowboys or Super Bowl? I have MAVs for us too, Okay, I put in here. I put Mads a little bit at nine.
Okay, man, we can do that, just that because that was we need a little time on them because that trade deadline's Thursday, Okay, And uh yeah, And I did something at a Mavericks game on Saturday night that I have never done in my whole life, and I got the opportunity to do it. Liquid Heroin, I have perspective in a fast paced, fast moving segment. And Cowboys got rid of Joe Witt basically, I mean he left. He was gonna interview with them this week, but they were kind
of farting around. Jerry's obviously worried about getting the FIFA World Cups Championship game here, and that failed. The point is, Joe Witt takes the defensive coordinator job for the Commanders without interviewing for the Cowboys defensive coordinator job. We know they have an interview set up with Ron Rivera this week. We know that they might be bringing in Mike Zimmer, and I think the context clues there is David Morkey's writing articles about Mike Zimmer, So that seems to be
the direction the wind is headed is Mike Zimmer. Oh, not to say that that's gonna happen or anything close to finalized, but that feels like the vibe right. Yeah, and basically the they won a defensive coordinator with head coaching experience, so may if you want to throw Rabel into that too, maybe Rabel's someone now. It doesn't matter what Mike McCarthy thinks. The last
time he picked his own defensive coordinator was Mike Nolan. Where I think they're making a mistake is if you are in all in mode, then is changing your defense Your players aren't going to change too much. Changing your how you're running your defense is that a good plan? Because your defensive run kind of the same. You would just have different tendencies. And Joe Witt is deserving
to be a defensive coordinator in football. I do believe that. And I believe if you're all in and you're kind of just like in the mode of run it back, which they are, that I would have kept him to be your defensive coordinator. Well, was it not an option? I mean, that may not have been up to them. It may not have wanted to be here because they're starting a nine am today is when the let's start
doing our interviews after fifty hirings have happened all of the league. Yeah, so, and maybe that's maybe that's the case, maybe's like I'm sticking with dan Quinn no matter what. But to me, if you're Joe Witt, you could have got the promotion to defensive coordinator. Did dan Quinn bring Joe Witt here? Sort of? I mean Mike McCarthy did too, because McCarthy coached with him in Green Bay. But yes, Joe Witt was with dan Quinn. I think it might okay, yeah for like one year though,
So his loyalty was to dan Quinn. And if ty goes to the guy who just signed a new deal versus the lamb duck man and read the tea leaves here, they're bringing in Ron Rivera and they want to bring in Mike Zimmer. They're not gonna pick me. That might have been what happened. Either way, he didn't stay around and wait on it. He takes the defensive coordinator job. Here's what I do know. If I'm game planning for
the Cowboys, things have changed. I do know. I've got a big book on the play calling tendencies of Mike Zimmer and Ron Rivera, and I don't have that on Joe Witt. So there's your unpredictable force of nature. While knowing the people who are there that would correlate with it, and Al Harris's promotion as well. Like me, I think I might have just kept it as it was. But if Ron Rivera and Mike Zimmer is what they want to do, that's cool. I don't have like a hard opinion on
who your defensive coordinator is. Your players have to do the things. But there's pretty good track record of tendencies that I know what Ron Rivera does on third down and I know what Mike Zimmer does here that all these teams are gonna have analytically, And you wouldn't have much of that on Joe Witt because it'd be his first time calling places. And maybe that's it too. You just called on five team, Do we want a first time guy calling plays
on defense? It wouldn't just be a little bit more of the same, just kind of maybe a slightly different version of Dan Quinn since I don't know if he's his protege, but you know, the considering their history and how long they've worked together. Yeah, no, no, I think so. But I think the thing that David Moore keeps writing about in the Dallas Warning
News is they want a Dees's coordinator with head coach experience. Look, Atlanta didn't lose that Super Bowl because of their offense, no, well a little bit. What allowed that come back was the defense. What allowed the Packers to score a thousand points in your first playoff game this year was the defense. And I'm not saying, you know, all the blame falls at dan Quinn, but I mean, it's not like he's just this infallible, godlike
figure that just is befuddling offenses with his schemes and his packages. And he does have good personnel, and we see flashes of it a lot. But boy, Michael Parsons, I'm sorry, disappeared, disappeared as far as from the you know, the booth and the stat sheet. Maybe the stat sheet tells a different story, but it wasn't. It wasn't like that in the second half, they didn't compare. I don't know the people. I don't I don't have a problem with with bringing in somebody from the outsiding and maybe
moving past the dan Quinn experience. Maybe it ran its course. Maybe that's the plane. Do things go well though, changing your and who knows how much they'll change it right too, That's another thing. It may not be like you said, much the personnel is still the same. Yeah, the personnel is the same, But don't you maybe maybe a fresh set of eyes can can see some things in the personnel and design something that's going to set them up for better success than how they were set up prior. I don't
know, I don't know any think about football. The people I follow and the people I follow in Washington are like very not excited. And apparently the fans are not excited about the dan Quinn hiring. And that's probably just well, they gave up forty eight points in the playoff loss. Yeah, that's also recentcy plus their cow it was a cowboy for the last few years,
and that Super Bowl ding doesn't look good. But actually, I mean the Commanders once they cleaned house and they brought in this whole team of front office execs to go nuts on the analytics and make these really smart decisions. And if they settle on that, and they gave dan Quinn enough power to bring in with I don't know. I mean, they're pretty well respected I think in the league, and that was a ballsy but probably a good decision for
them. I also think the fan love affair with Dan quinn is is largely based on optics, because you look up there in that in that defensive coordinator's booth, and you see this menacing figure that looks like he could you know, maybe it was a former pro wrestler with his backwards baseball cap on, and he's got kind of this authoritative air about him. And you look on the sidelines and you see McCarthy and he he kind of looks like a a
grazing cow. He's fishing around in a paper bag for the fries at the bottom of So Quinn has that until he stands up and he's got a shirt tucked into his little sweat pants. Yeah, it's weird. Then he ruins it. That's weird. Yeah, it does look a real badass. And then he stands up in the boot Come on on, some nice pants. It's that the hat backwards thing is cool, you know love that either,
That's like, I don't know. Well. The story too in Washington is so Ben Johnson was the OC for the Lions and he decided to stay reports out over the weekend or that Ben Johnson part of the reason he turned down that job is because he did not interview well with them, and he had leaked to reporters like, I think they're just basketball guys, and it sounds
like they're just a bunch of idiots still in Washington. Now, Josh Harris is kind of the new owner of the Commanders and he is a managing partner of the Philadelphia seventy six ers, who the MAVs play tonight here on the Freak. But he didn't get that. So they end up hiring Cliff Kingsbury to be their offensive coordinator or they will be this week who Kingsbury was going
to go gonna be in Vegas? That dropped over the weekend. He's taking the OC job with the Commanders and they have the number two pick in the draft. They might get a quarterback. But just made me think, well, what happened to Eric Bienemy. Do you remember everyone talking about him the old OC for the Chiefs, who was the OC for Washington. He finally left to give the OLC for Washington And if people were talking about him, it's like no one's even talking about what happens to him. Now. He'll
get a job somewhere I don't know as what. I don't know if it'll be his offensive coordinator, but it was kind of interesting that Kingsbury is going to end up with Washington. Now does that mean Washington is going to trade up a spot and get Caleb Williams. I mean, because that's probably what
was told to Kingsbury, right, Yeah. You know I was talking to TC about this because TC is a Bears fan, and he was like even talking about like, I don't even know if they like would like Caleb Williams over you know, Drake May and they may just say like keep justin field like he was like this was and this was a couple of months ago, was walking though in there. So I don't know that's a given that Caleb Williams is number one, but yeah, there's your connection. Caleb Williams is
also like he and his dad. He's had his dad out in front of things saying like he'll just go back to USC if he is gonna go somewhere he didn't want to go. Okay, well that's all set up. Then, Yeah, the Bears have two top tens. Washington moves up to one Bear score a bunch and Bears can then have Marvin Harrison Junior at number two if they want, and then Caleb Williams is happy he goes, lands in Cliff's arms in Washington, that's gonna happen. Mark it down, Penn and
write it down. Jalen Hurts. Don't write it though, Kayleb Williams, Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones. I guess, okay, okay, yeah, I just feel like everyone's kind of very familiar. The Eagles in Washington now have all coaches that know a lot about the Cowboys. I don't love that. Maybe it doesn't matter. Every know everybody knows everything about everybody, or does anyone know anything at all? No, they do. They know as much as they look the intel, the analytics, the film, all of
that stuff. It's there's no surprises in this league. They gave Harbaugh a job and he his first order of business. But Mike, you were spot on. Whoever gave you the intel that Harbaugh's an idiot, Well I've had it forever, and then he continue to win and win national championship, So I don't even know what. Maybe idiots succeed in this world. His opening press conference with the Chargers, he goes, first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go to home depot, get a vacuum clean up the weight room.
Everyone kind of laughs. Now it turns out that's the first thing he did. That's a mistake. He should have called zero res rid of all those annoying odors too. Yeah, save yourself a trip to home depot minutes away from a zero res spot that everyone's warming. It is sort of odd right now. Just open your eyes and Kellen Moore is the OC of the Eagles and Dan Quinn is the head coach of the Commanders. They change things up quickly on you in this world. That is actually exactly what that quest.
They changed things on as quick on this world. So enjoy you every minute while you have it. Super Bowl things, super Bowl things. Let me tell you, guys something about fifteen minutes. Kinds, there's some crazy stuff happening. A couple of weird injured here in the Metroplex. Is this Kevin at seven No, it's a scuttle but at seven thirty, I mean right now, which I can't confine me to one segment. I hold up to the tried, I hold up to eight. At the end of each
show, like Luca's seventy three, all eight segments participated. Everyone's dude, that that picture of Lucas in his chair in the locker room with the seventy three. You know, man, everyone is having a lot of fun with that on the internet too, by just erasing it and using an apps to erase it and putting their own message like send me help, trade me help.
The moon pattern is predicting a Chiefs victory this week, guys, Kevin, we're going to be waxing crescent on Sunday and uh Kansas City nineteen and one under a waxing crescent moon over the last five seasons. Hear that, Danny, I'm listening. You were talking about how it was going to be a waning gibbus. I was mistaken and that was going to be a forty
nine ers bet for you. Now you know you're mistaken. Also, did the Chiefs win the year that Andy Reid's brother gotten that We're not gonna know reck because Pat Mahomes' dad, Patrick Mahomes's dad, Pat Mahomes get arrested first third, at least third, at least thirty Tyler, Yeah, he's looking at two to ten years. He's already done time for the last one. I think did he Yeah? I think he did, like a month and a half or something. Like that of hard time. That could be four
or five. Then if he's already done time, what are you guys doing? Your son is Patrick Mahomes never just never drive ever, it's your life is set. Yeah, I don't get it, man. Oh. In CBS, they're unveiling something this Sunday. They're inserting six cameras inside the uprights at Allegiate Stadium, so three on each each uprights, all right, each set of uprights. So it's the dog camera. I'm sorry what they're calling
it the dog camera? No, I'm sorry the doint camera. CBS and doing the doint camera this Sunday. Misread that they're not even really close. But I would hate to have a dog camera in the booth. Here's just focused nance on nance after a master's promo. Okay, don cameras seeing some movement? Where is it? Wait? Wait, they're putting six cameras, so three in each set of uprights. Okay, I still think both uprights and then the crossbar. I would imagine, so the top of both uprights
and the crossbar middle, each facing the field at different angles. And in the article I read about this, it's got the quotes from the CEO or the executives and all those people at CBS who like, is their idea last year when Harrison Butker missed a kick in like the in a playoff game and they like, there were oh my god, what if we had this for the Super Bowl next year? And like unveiled it. So they tested it out in a preseason game. They used it but didn't show it in a
regular season game in Vegas. Really, and the NFL had to get involved, had to survey the thing. There's something we don't know much about, right Danny surveys? O God, why text each other that we don't understand road surveying this weekend? I'm with you too. It's the most confusing piece of equipment. And if someone just standing next to a weird tripod and I
don't know where the other one is. He's down the street with another thing and they're looking at each other, and somehow that determines something I'll never understand survey equipment. I assume he's a long ways away sometimes because usually you look across the street you don't see the guy. It's like, who's on the other end of it? He might be sit next year some sort of bet payoff you have to get a tripod and like a colored vest and just stand
out in front of your house and there's no other receiving survey equipment. But do you got to stand out there for a few hours at busy intermittently just kind of look through the viewfinder, if that's what it's called, because nobody knows what are they doing. I think the guys that they don't even work for the city, I don't think. Yeah, those are just homeless people. They find some like a luminescent vest and go stand in somebody street with
a tripod. Important. We're we're we're talking about it like it's nothing. That might be like a promotion that you work. You have twenty years of your life to get to be. What if it's just like a dummy tripod and you get the promotion. It's like Frank made it to survey status. He gets to do nothing. Remember when he was just grinding away on the excavator for decades. Now he's on the survey team. It does nothing.
Yeah, you're just basically standing out there listening to your headphones. And now, Mike, you do some super Bowl bets? Do you want to get down some doink bets? This is Kavanaugh have done, Kevan On, I've done for you. We bet on if it'll jink or dong, Well you get the young. Traditionally, the odds are, however, many yards the kick is. Okay, so forty five to one, forty five to one, and you know, for the most part, I'll take your dollar every
time and I'll end up making a profit. But so do does a dooint cap in every forty five yards from a forty five yard kick or every forty five attempt? Is your question not even question? Well, if it's like, yeah, forty five yard field goal, he dogs it in and if I said that he wouldn't, then yeah, you have forty five dollars. Yeah, but eventually, you know, most of the time they don't hit
the thing, but it makes every kick interesting if they hit anything. Yeah, okay, yeah, I'm in. I'll double it for a double dog. Okay, well, yeah, double dogs are incredibly rare. Thirty five to one. If it's a thirty five yard I'll say you a little money. If it's a sixty yarder, you're like, oh, yeah, you know, but that's a fun thing to do for money. I accept, Well, I like this. I like the new cameras. That's good. Hey, Pylon cam's legit and it's giving us some really cool angles and the
quality of them has gotten really good. Yeah, and I love when they light that thing up. There's a survey goal and hold, we're not gonna have time for him, but we'll get his uh come on time, Okay. I just want to find out if they're real or not. He's not real. It's Kevin at seven, dude, it's his thing. That's true. Hey man, I'm just trying to watch the clock here. They say the matters. I don't know. I don't know how or what to get
these things we need. But Danny's got a zero risk but that'll do it. And also as a guy going to kill himself on Saturday Night Live next week, weird but actually pertinent next to ninety seven won the Freak
