This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one cover. Cowboys coach Dave Campo calls in at eight ten, What do one more Cowboys call? Right now? Nick and burleson, let's go and wipe this out. Hello Nick before we get to the scuttle, but he Nick, shoot your shot? Man? Hey, yeah, man, Hey, what's up y'all? I just I think the fans got to realize a few things, one of which is like being healthy at the right time, right. I mean, you lost Lve, you lost over shown, you lost Diggs in that game with Green
Bay. I mean you really didn't even have what's his name over there playing cornerback for us, Gilmour. I mean his shoulder was messed up the week before. I mean that's a big thing. Right. Also, you know, Aaron Jones screwed me in fantasy all year and he comes out and he's just a beef the last three weeks or so. That's just being healthy at the right time. But I mean, i'd love do you guys discuss this.
I'll let y'all go. I'd love to know if, like if we if we're dealing with a quarterback with Dak that Scott performance performance anxiety, like big time, big performance. Does he just kind of cripple with the anxiety side of thing and like a little bit of yips. I just kind to be curious to know what y'all think. Man, Thank you, Nick, We appreciate the call. Have a good day. First of all, I would say you, I don't think he's dealing with performance anxiety. He got
his girl pregnant. He's Kevin Turner. That's the only name I want to associate with that joke. So don't worry about our someone out there. Well, do you see it? Do you see that cowboy's foam finger hanging out the window after that joke? Flasher lights? If you're on the tollway right now and you like Kevin's joke, the guy's wearing a Dak Hirsey, but he's cut the sleeves off of it. I'm just looking out the red light
off in Wood. As we broadcast live on the Freak Studios here and Farmer's Branch Addison, North, Dallas, I address that man's concerns without Jokesdevan Gilmore. Thing is very real to where I think it's fair to go. Should we have played because that did prevent them from playing hardcore man coverage in times where they normally would mean Cowboys were one of the top man coverage teams in
the league. So his inability to whatever they were worried about there, you know, yeah, not being one hundred percent, but I you know, it's like you sit back and look at the game and go, well, the Packers just went after Stefan Gilmour. Now they didn't something I wanted to ask you, Kevin. You watched the Packers all all season long, and Kevin seems like I heard you say at a number of times that their secondary
is garbage. Then why even when they would show footage, you know, of the whole field, why were the Cowboys receivers just blanketed the entire game? I think Packers just what He's less about what the Packers did on defense. I think it's the Cowboys offensive plan was weird, and we had a bunch of like second down runs and things like that, and second down runs are not what you want to do. I'm meant to say that on Monday,
it's like, what whatever happened to play action on second down? Well, and that's the other thing too, like why didn't But seriously, why were the Cowboys covered. I mean they were covered the entire time. Dak had nobody to throw too until the end of the game. Packers are always going to drop a bunch of dudes and get gashed on the run a little bit. But that's how the Packers play. It's their defensive coordinator's mo two men don't break. We're happy to give up a field goal or'll let your
run on us. But we have Kenny Clark and we have a couple other run stoppers who every now and then I'll make a play that puts you in a second and seven and it makes the drive tough. And that's what they did. They just put a bunch of guys in the secondary and then the Cowboys had nowhere to go. The other thing too, the Packers consistently put more pressure on Dack than the Cowboys put on Green Bay. And to watch that game, I mean, Jordan lov got hit twelve times, but no
sacks and quite a bit of time to throw. It felt like most times for whatever reason that I did get there. And the Packers had a good pass blocking offensive line, one of the best in the league at that it happens in baseball a lot, and the thing that's unfortunate about football. You don't have a large sample set to refer to. As far as Cowboys versus Packers, you get to see them one time in a number of years.
But in baseball and even basketball to a certain degree, there are times when you'll look at the season and you just don't match up well with a particular team. Like you could have a losing record to kind of a garbage team in baseball, but didn't go on to win the World Series, and it just doesn't make sense because on paper you're clearly better than them. I wonder
if that was the case with Dallas and Green Bay. They like they're personnel matchups, and the way that they went head to head, it just didn't favor the Cowboys. And it never was the defense thing was it felt like could have been a problem the whole game, just because the Packer's offics was playing well. And again this motion and misdirection and if they can run the ball on you, it opens up everything for Green Bay, just like it
does for the forty nine ers. I do why McCaffrey's so important to San Francisco outside of being McCaffrey, Like you, the Rams, they were able to run the ball. The Rams offense looks unstoppable once they got a healthy running back in there, and we're able to do that. That was I was always concerned about that. But when you flip it, I don't know, man, I think maybe it was just like a chess game and you thought you are But this is up. We're going to leave it with this
before I see some local news stories that are happening in the news. Dave Campbell was an eight ten JJ. If you'll crank up my audio, this is your guy. This is your guy right here. The day that he was hired, you said he analyzed every play, or watched every play of the entire twenty nineteen season. What is it that you learn from that experience that you think will benefit your most here? Well, I mean I need to confess. I mean I told Jerry I watched every play in the twenty
nineteen season, but I wanted the job, so I have. I haven't watched every play this season. But it was just I mean you, yes, he just played it for the laugh. Oh little nervous about this higher now, I mean, look, that's your guy. He could have been joking. He was joking, but he also did lie like that's the thing he didn't do. All those things in the barn that people said he did. It was one of his puff pieces of all time. And because he's
a family man, Jerry bott it. Because Jerry's a family man too, That's why he definitely went and has met his daughter. Oh wait, let's do some news. Jj I like some news. Seriously, she lives down near SMU like he could have gone an I could have done had a lune. It's impending due either way. One out of thirty two teams wins. It's likely not gonna be you. And if we approach it that way, Yeah, it's probab to say. Fire wild story. I want to start
with guys fort Worth. So a twenty seven year old man killed a delivery driver by beating him with firewood. Baseline knowledge here got me now, then it gets weird. The guy who's charged for murder, his name is Chris ain'tis Omandy Christen tas Omandy charge for murder for the death of fifty one year old Scott Jackson. Scott Jackson owned a firewood delivery business, so they've used rental trucks to deliver firewood chopped wood to customers. Around Arrant County. He's
had a day's work. Donet it, Mikey, absolutely it does you chop the wood, you deliver it? Cold weather exactly, probably a big business day. Had a repeat customer, so he drives over to Fort Worth to deliver the firewood to his repeat customers. So they're doing the transaction front porch, whatever, here it is, here's your firewood, when a random guy shows up and gets direct in the face of the owner of the house. Now the owner of the house and the repeat customer he is not named,
the twenty seven year old guy. Here's what the repeat customer said. As he's doing the transactions. There's three people involved. Guy coming up, guy in the house, and the delivery driver. He shows up. Here's what he said. This random guy shows up against directly in my face and accuses me of being on his property and being in his house. He was extremely
naked. The customer in Scott Jackson, who owns the wood company, asked the man to leave, but instead the naked man picks up a piece of firewood and hits Scott Jackson, owner of the wood company, in the head. Scott Jackson died. Do you know one shot to the head, or did he beat him when he was down? It just said struck him in the head. He blunt forced trauma death, So maybe just one. The man then chased the customer, threw his house into his backyard. Oh,
finally able to escape go inside once again him in the backyard. He was able to get inside. In Cold nine one one. There's surveillance video, but it's not out to the public yet, but it did identify the guy, christinas Omandy naked guy. Yeah, and a witness nearby told police they saw Amandy dumped the wheelbarrow on Jackson before leaving the yard. So when he left, he got the wilbrow and dumped him on the guy who's laying there
after being hit in the head. That dumped the wheelbarrow of wood on him. Good. So. Court documents have shown that Amandi returned to an Airbnb a few homes down because he had rented a single room and he was naked, so clearly on drugs. Maybe it's thumb bath salts or back in play back in vogue. Yeah, ten years ago, I would have said bath Salts. Isn't that a wild story? Though? It's a wild story that
is awful. If the delivery driver had been a pizza driver, he probably would have survived because then the naked guy would have tried to hit him with a pizza. And you're probably gonna be okay, right, not even hurt. Maybe like you get scalded a little bit on your cheek from the warm cheese and sauce. I guess this is a lessons on a pizza to all of you delivery drivers out there. If you're thinking about making a career transition,
make sure that you're delivering softer goods. You could really get burned if it was a pizza inn driver in the eighties and he was delivering pissert. Oh no, because pissert is a dessert pizza with like it's like a cooked fruit. Oh hot fruit, hot fruit on it. And that hot fruit, I mean you taken a bite of a scalding fresh from the oven cobbler. Boy, that'll scorch you. That sad story, absolutely sad story. When did this happen Saturday? Oh my god, he's getting the fire would
delivered to his repeat customer just in time for the freeze. You're right, that is a whatever you called it, what salt of the earth job? Yeah, yeah, chopping firewood, delivering at the cold people and sun this weekend, so it's freezing cold and this dude's buck. You know, it's before it got so like really cold on Sunday. So if this happened on Saturday, he was probably still in the fifties, forties, fifties, like a Saturday nights when it hit though. So yeah, yeah, that is
terrible, man, just awful, awful. And he'd run an Airbnb, so it's not like it was a I hate to say this kid, it's like put a negative correlation on all of them, not speaking for them, but only he was some homeless guy he had rented at Airbnb. He was staying somewhere. More details is going to come out about this. I think we're getting ahead of this one. I think you're gonna hear a lot about this in the news in the coming days, and just know that you heard
it here. First of ninety seven won the freak as the four Star Telegram from doing that story. Well, thank you for having description. Yeah startel, Yeah, I was lighting things up. Guys. There was a first responders in Did't County. Maybe they should have been first raponders because they rescued a cow that fell through an iced over pond? Is it written? Just admit yesterday it's not. I I promise, Yeah I did it when I just had a flub when I said, responders, weird, Okay, a
cow fell through an iced over pond. Ponders, it's a pond is already in responders. Yeah, so you didn't have to make it raponders. You could have just emphasized the pond and responders and it would have been a better joke. Don't repeat medium jokes. We talked about this off the air. Oh no, on the air actually, and then a longer, a lot longer discussion off the air. We just stopped on the air. I had to leave the room for that talk. Oh it's got very uncomfortable. Tomato
just hit the window. I hate to see it thrown by a foam finger. Tried again. Who came? Who showed up there first? Yeah, it's like this. Kevin watched Danny do it. A cow fell through the ice into a lake first, Risks bonders showed up. What you hit the p O N D and responders ponders, and then you win and you let the subtlety wash over the listeners if they don't know or you like. What you can do is when you issue the love you just kind of back away
for the mic like this. Yeah, but they're on board with McCarthy. All right, cruise use straps and a tractor who they borrowed from a town council member to bring the cow out of the pond. Okay, And once the cow was out, they warmed her up with blankets. That's adorable. Where is this? Give me? I love this gold? Kevin is telling a story about saving the life of one cow and we're all just feeling warm
and fuzzy. This is the same man that thought it was hilarious when thousands of cattle were needlessly killed from a fertilizer barn explosion or whatever it was. You remember that it was funny. You laughed, and you laughed. We all agree it was funny, right, No, the audio was the needless slaughter of thousands of cattle. Yeah. Are you talking about the cow explosion story? Yeah, I'm talking about the cow explosion. Do you have it? Of course I have it. Let's hear it. Why would you challenge
me on that? You know what I'm saying, This guy, I'm talking about this happened a long time ago, not too long ago, approximately eighteen thousand cows were killed after an explosion at a dairy farm in the Panhandle on O we we had the live coverage. It's a lot of cows. I set him up too, I know, the old Matt Gather. I said, hey, if you got like an explosion sound and a mood, that'd be good. But once I heard it, once I heard my creation live,
it is funny. It broke me. But it's eighteen thousand cow deaths. I love that our sound library is so budget that we can't even get a real cow. We have a guy going mum, there's some grieverb on it. We've been dodging the story, by the way, I'm Kevin. That's Danny, Mike. We've had JJ here. There's a hot air balloon story. Guys, Oh, so late, We're not last. Don't lie and say we're late. At last. We're going to have to move the frenkles. Arizona. Four people Eloi, Eloi, Arizona. Four people killed
in a hot air bloine crash in the desert. Twenty three year old woman from Scottsdale critically injured, so she survived, survived. One person survived one out of five. Okay. The company is called Dropline Hot air Balloon Rides and it was carrying thirteen people at takeoff, but eight of them were skydivers who left before issues happened, so they were just going up to skydive off the hot air balloon. Yep. One of the men killed was Cornelius Vanderwaldt.
He was the founder and pilot on Dropline Hot air Balloon Rides. Their website indicates it had a perfect safety record, and they should change that information on their website. Now, Yeah, that whiteboard gets reset to zero once again. I proving hot air balloons not safe, deadly, deadlier than heart disease in the United States of America. Okay, hot air balloons. Your heart is a hot air balloon, truly, dude, this it's scary. I am, it's not a bit. I am terrified of hot air balloons.
I'm scared of heights, and I will never be on a hot air balloon. I remember eight months ago, whatever it was the discussion of would I rather be on a submersible or a hot air balloon, because we're all picturing those sweet poor people, and I think I did choose hot air balloon in that scenario two if you ah, yeah, going inside little rickety tailand all and going to the bottom of the sea. But death by submersible you
wouldn't even know what happened. Hot air balloon you watch it the whole okay, But death by submersible you spent three day knowing it's gonna happen, and you have no hope. At least it's three minutes max. And a hot air balloon. I will say this, I'm wearing a fan parachute, even if I'm going on a joy ride. Is that an option? Like as if if you go on a little sea cruise of Puget Sound in your trip to Seattle, they have and offer life vests that you certainly can wear.
Is a parachute an option? Always? If I'm going in a hot air balloon, especially a skydiving hot air balloon ride that eight people safely jumped off, I mean, I'm not making a cartoon of it. It's terrifying, But imagine those skydivers pull their shute, look to their right, and soaring downward is a deflated, flaming, hot air balloon, possibly with your family members on it. Terrifying? Stop doing this everyone. Let me ask you
this, This is not leisure hypothetical. Miikey. Last Friday, if someone came up to you and said, Okay, the Miami Dolphins are about to play the Chiefs, right yeah, and they are going to advance past the Chiefs and they are going to go to the Super Bowl and play the Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl and they are going to win. There's only one catch. You have to watch the Dolphins Chiefs game from an iPad in a hot air balloon flying over Dallas at a pretty substantial height. So you're gonna
be up there for three three and a half hours. But when you land, if you land, that's interesting. First off, I thought you were gonna say, a hot air blae Fins win soaring over Arrowhead Stadium and I can watch the binoculars. Now, No, you're just you're in an e f and hot air balloon at a good height for you know, three three
and a half hours. You're watching the on your iPad. And when you started that hypothetical, I was ready to cut you off and say no, dummy, because I'm not doing something that I'm scared of for a football team that doesn't care about me, news flashed, everyone mad about the Cowboys, and ultimately, if the dream happens, it doesn't really affect my life other than a fist pump and say yes, and then my life goes on exactly the same, except I have to buy a sweater and a T shirt and
a hat you do, which cost me another two hundred and twenty five dollars. It does, so like I get it. Sport sports are fun, but they don't really matter. But then, as you continued, and you actually have the Dolphins beating the Cowboys in the Super Bowl. I mean I do work sort of in talking about sports a lot, and that is an incredible scenario that if there's anything that's gonna get my sports weenie to stand firmly erect, it would be a dolphin's cow come on, shake, no bits,
no nothing. I could go on one single hot air balloon ride. No shoot, no shoot, You're just in the basket with whoever's operating the damn thing. Cornelius vander Walt. Can I get a look at the guy before I agree? Yes, he looks like Steve. He has the credentials. I'll just leave you with that. He looks like Steveshimmy Hey, fella, come on hop in. It's safe. It's safe. Yeah, I think I would do it. Yeah, thank you. Oh my god. It sounds awful though, because you go up you're like, all right,
we're only ten twelve feet Okay, I'm fine right now. Once you get past that that death threshold, which is right around sixty feet or whatever it is, when I can reach terminal velocity. I don't know. If I'd be in a panic whatever, who cares. I would hide in the bottom of the basket because I'm terrified of hides too. I would just be. I would never look over the side and just sit there watching football, watching my game. You get your phone, yeah, but you don't have five
g up there. They've worked out spotty here, you get they've worked that out. Anyway, don't go on hotter balloons that I am sorry. Where many people died this weekend. That's terrible. Yes, more big stories to get to. In ding New's morning News at eight thirty, former Cowboys head coach Dave Campo will call in next. He will comment on the Cowboys retaining Mike McCarthy. Tell us a little bit what the interview process is like,
maybe something Dan Quinn is going through right now. He interviewed with Yeah, I think the Titan yesterday, So Cowboys head coach Former Cowboys head coach Dave Campo on the air next on ninety seven, won the Freak
