Good morning man I love you Wayne even though you’re a Packers fan and you’re in for a long day on Sunday at Dallas it is time to skip the BS something Aaron Rogers seldom does we’ll get to that in just a few minutes but it is right now time for
Undisputed time for me to welcome in two guys who played with their emotions on their sleeves and on their knees and on their feet and on every single part of their bodies and their souls Richard Sherman and Michael Irvin morning gentlemen how are we today good morning skip good morning
Richard yeah it’s hey it’s playoff week now so everything is great and you’re right Skip it’s time really to skip the BS it’s time to skip the BS yeah okay I’m just hoping both of you take it easy on me today and I do promise to behave
Today so okay after Sunday’s win at Washington Jerry Jones said he’d be evaluating Mike McCarthy one game at a time in the playoffs I love that yet yesterday on his Dallas radio gig Jerry clarified that comment by emphasizing he quote unquote couldn’t be more pleased with the job McCarthy has
Done in his of course fourth season with the Cowboys of the reaction to Sunday night’s comment Jerry said well I was a little surprised I don’t know how I could be any clearer coach McCarthy’s under contract for next year and so that’s not an issue I certainly haven’t
Sat down right here in the middle of the playoffs and started talking to him about something like a contract something like that why would you do that so Jerry is saying there obviously hasn’t been any talk of a contract extension Lord I hope not certainly not yet but the questions still remain if
The Cowboys do lose Sunday at home to Green Bay would Jerry still say afterward that he couldn’t be more pleased with McCarthy would he still be U obviously that that McCarthy would return for for the next year of his deal or would would Jerry would he fire McCarthy
If they lose Sunday would he fire McCarthy if the Cowboys beat Green Bay and then late an egg in a second home playoff game and fall one game short of their NFC first NFC Championship game in 28 years these are all very good very powerful questions very now questions
Michael please you start us what do you think of all the above there he is a lot going on in the National Football League right now and and what Jerry said when he said hey this is a game to game you have to look at not just what’s going on with the
Dallas Cowboys but what’s going on around the whole National Football League we are talking and we will talk later on about a about a mike tumlin that’s walking away we’re talking about a Mike Vel yeah Bill bellich these are some of the great coaches that have
Coached in our league and our Game Y the reality is this game has always been and always will be not just about winning but about winning championships that’s what you get hired for and all 32 teams and yes this is a stressful job I tell
People all the time if you ask me most stressful jobs in the world I’ll give you at least certainly in our country I’ll give you potis as the top but from 2 to 33 will be NFL head coaches that is the real it of it all it’s NFL coaches
This is what it is you perform Under Pressure you carry the hopes of a whole city and a lot of people so all of those hopes and all those eyes they are watching you in TW winning 12 games a season that’s great but that’s not winning championships in a National
Football League that’s why you get higher so saying it’s game to game that wasn’t a ferian slip that was reality and that’s what it needs to be right now yes it is disastrous if you lose to Green Bay it is absolutely disastrous if you lose the Green Bay and if things
Work out great Skip shm and and and say you get a Tampa Bay even if you beat Green Bay and you get a Tampa Bay and you lose and you lose to Tampa Bay and and and and the Rams going and beat 40 the 49th and you could have had a
Championship game in Dallas oh my God yes I’m sorry you know I’m sorry I it’s it’s not high it’s really B it’s B that’s the league that we are in I don’t want to hear this I don’t care to hear it I don’t want to hear from people like
Sher and and and Kean because all you guys want is more far oh you still hadn’t done it in 31 years you going to put the one on there I don’t want to hear pressure is good pressure makes the good F makes the great Focus show me your part of the
Great focus and let’s go get it done and I don’t want to you created this pressure If you the won in one of those other preseason situations it wouldn’t be this kind of pressure and one of those playoff situations against the 49ers we wouldn’t have this pressure you
Created it get yourself out of it beautiful yeah I hear you IR but I I don’t know I I I Jerry this was unnecessary this all was unnecessary we talk about distractions with Aaron this is an unnecessary distraction for this team it’s an unnecessary distraction for
This coach and you’re going to put him in a situation where in a game where they’re potentially trailing in a playoff game things are going to cross his mind that maybe wouldn’t have crossed his mind had you not said this and he may make some desperation play
Calls hey we need to we need a big play here hey we need to force it here hey we need to go forth on forth here because if I don’t I’m getting fired after this game so sure the pressure is great sure pressure is good for any anybody it
Helps you know pressure makes diamonds everybody knows this but for the owner of the team to go out of his way to say hey we’re going to take this evaluation game by game is ridiculous and then for him to turn around the next day and walk
It back or attempt to walk it back is even more ridiculous ulous we didn’t say you were having we didn’t say you were having contract talks with him we no we didn’t ask you anything you you decided out of nowhere to speak on this and then
Try to try to say well I didn’t mean that yes you did just stand on it it’s more ridiculous trying to walk it back just stand T toes on what you said because that’s what you meant like you said ER this wasn’t a fian slip this wasn’t an accidental speak this this was
Exactly what you meant and it’s the truth if he doesn’t beat Green Bay if he doesn’t take you to a uh NFC Championship game he’s going home and I think I think he understands that I think the whole team understands that but I don’t think it was necessary for
You to say and it’s definitely not necessary for you to walk back we know you’re not having contract talks with him but if you fire this head coach he will be the only the lone head coach that got fired after taking his team to the playoffs and he has your quarterback
Playing his best football of his career and he has your team in a good position with the number two seed there could only be one seed better and they’re tied with San Francisco for the best record in the NFC so you can’t even really make those arguments that he’s not doing
Everything in his power sure your team has lost big games your team has lost some games against some great opponents I will give you that I’m the one who stands on the table and says that skip but come on Jerry that’s enough Michael you want to
Respond well I I I I do skip but I was giving you a chance to get in here okay you know but there’s so much in there that he left open that that I do want to respond to but I want to give you a is
He okay thank you look Richard we went back and forth about this yesterday I’m even coming at it from a different point of view than Michael is as an ex-star player for this franchise I’m lifelong Die Hard started when I was 10 years of age I I know what
It felt like to to have my team play in Seven Super Bowls I know what it felt like to win five Super Bowls I covered the locker rooms of coach Tom Landry and I had the honor of covering the locker rooms of Michael and Troy and imit and
Jimmy Johnson and I know what that felt like and those locker rooms to me had urgency to them because there was a healthy fear in those locker rooms a fear of Coach Landry and definitely a fear of Coach Jimmy because he rarely walked in the locker room but when he
Did everybody stopped what they were doing and mouths closed and eyes widened because everybody was afraid somebody might get sent packing on any given moment Jimmy might just cut somebody Ju Just to send a message to the locker room this is not acceptable with this team now for 28 years no NFC
Championship games there’s been a lack of urgency there’s been a lack of accountability there’s been a lack of good fear healthy fear in the locker rooms and it starts with Jerry who’s not a d Dynamic leader in and of himself this was the first time in Jerry’s
Ownership without a Jimmy or without a Barry Switzer when I thought he stepped up and did put 10 toes down and took a stand that needed to be taken to send a message not only to the head coach but to the locker room of this will not be
Acceptable I’m going game by game because we are now in a position to win two games to get to the NFC championship game as you say Richard and yet Richard yesterday you make the case that today’s players today’s NFL doesn’t work like this that players don’t respond coaches
Don’t respond to this kind of pressure being exerted from the ownership down and you maybe you’re right I but but I know what I used to see in Dallas what what I’ve known worked in Dallas and I believe it worked in Seattle with your team because you had Dynamic leaders in
The locker room I again I don’t know I don’t know if P Carol factors into that exactly but I I know the legion of boom you want to talk about strong personalities I’m not sure we have strong enough Personalities in the locker room including the head coach and
Including the quarterback so we need an urgent message sent that it is now time nothing is acceptable except winning at home where you’ve won 16 in a row beating the Green Bay Packers and then maybe the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and getting back to an NFC Championship game
That’s all I’m saying Michael please you respond now right and and I do want to explain this first of all when when Sher jumped in and and I talked about all the things that are going on outside of the Dallas Cowboys with those guys that are
Being let go there’s also a guy inside of the Dallas Cowboys that they need to make a decision on or that will be making decision and that’s Dan Quinn you know so if you want to say hey can you get me over the hump if you can’t get us
Over this hump do we go in another Direction Dan Quinn is looking and waiting right now to see what’s going to happen also with with with this team and with that head coaching jobin he’s his name been thrown in and and and linked with Carolina and other places so he’s
Going to sit back and say let me wait to see what happens here and Jerry needs to make sure that that that Dan Quinn if he got the head coach in the building that he doesn’t let him go out the building that’s why it’s on the hot seat for Mike
McCarthy but Al also guys also th this comes down to that just we talked about it can nobody has ever done this before nobody has ever won a Super Bowl with one team then come over and coach and win a Super Bowl with another this is an opportunity Mike
McCarthy this is an opportunity to put your name up with the greats right here you know what I’m saying and and I called it out I started by calling out the top of the football team I have no problem with Jerry Jones calling out the top of the coaching staff that’s the
That’s the harmonious the the harmony you need in that locker room right now skip Sher everybody understands the pressure of this game and bring it to bear in that game I I’m G to go take it step by step and I’m GNA start with Skip and his his locker room leader situation
Skip these are the guys you’re going to have so I know what you’re talking about Tom Landry and everybody had fear there’s no fear in that locker room and there’s not going to be and there’s not going to be anytime soon CD lamb is going to get 30 million Soon Michael
Parson is going to get 30 35 million soon Dak Prescott’s going to get another contract soon you’re going to have to pay Tyler Smith plus probably close to $20 million a year so things are going to start to happen in that locker room that that that affect everything but
It’s not going to be fear it’s not going to be fear so it doesn’t matter if Mike McCarthy’s the head coach Dan Quinn’s their head coach Ben Johnson’s the head coach Bill bich the head coach there’s not going to be fear fear is not the way you motivate these days I’m sorry it’s
It’s not it’s it fear is not the great motivator and it hasn’t been the great motivator in a long time that’s why you haven’t seen a lot of these coaches have the kind of success that coach in that fashion uh in a really long time that’s
Why you see more coaches get younger and younger and and more hip you see guys like Mike McDaniel getting jobs and having having some success you see Andy Reid kind of changing his style of coaching because that’s the way you get the most out of guys not putting the
Fear of death in them that hey you if you don’t do it my way it’s the highway skip you got to remember the last time the the Dallas Cowboys were in the Super Bowl these Tom Landry years the internet didn’t even exist skip so you talk about
Things changing a lot has changed since then the the entire world is connected but but he also talked about leadership in the locker room and the fear that can’t come from the head coach has to come from the guys that are leaving in the locker room the guys that
Are saying hey man we worked too damn hard to build this to where it is to let people like anybody that’s that’s not coming in and working out and working at the level that we are working you got to Pat your damn toes and get out of here
And I don’t care I’m talking about the guys in the locker room you have to be the ones that say Hey man we can be boys we can be friends but you can’t help me win you got to go and you can’t play here that’s the kind of fear you got to
Have if you’re going to do something great we watch the as dance we talk about how Michael Jordan get on people okay you can’t get on people like that if you’re the head coach but but but but I can I can make you I can make you
Understand like hey dude we do it one way around here and if you’re not doing it this way you’re not going to be accepted around here you can get that leadership in the locker room there’s a sense of urgency they can pull out in that locker room that I need Dak to pull
Out I need cidd lamb to pull out I need Michael Parson to pull out I need Ty Smith I need all of them like minor man like little managers of their Department you get the offensive line going Michael Parson you get those linebackers going CD lamb you get those wide receivers
Going you can put this kind of pressure it just has to come from those players yeah okay yeah go ahead those aren’t the kind of guys you got skip those aren’t the kind of guys you got that’s the difference you talked about our teams in Seattle those are naturally the kind of
Guys we had marshan is is very natural leader he’s a very charismatic guy he’s a guy that that guys respect and guys will follow Doug Ballwin the same way Germaine Cur cam Chancellor of course KJ Wright Bobby Wagner I mean you can go down the list Richard Mike Bennett how
About Richard Sherman right right Richard Sherman works too but it’s just you can’t artificially you can’t artificially create that it’s either they have it or they don’t you have great players great players don’t necessarily make great leaders you have great players in Micah Parsons you have Dak playing great football but dak’s
Lead may lead a different way than other people he may not lead it just may be by example so so CD lamb the same way so if you don’t have those vocal leaders then maybe it does need to come from your coaching staff and maybe it comes from
Dan Quinn but at the end of the day you can’t force that yeah hey Michael do you think Jimmy Johnson would work in today’s NFL I think Jimmy’s a psychologist he understands and and that’s what separates I think coach from a lot of these coaches you see coach now doing uh
Uh the pregame shows and everything I don’t know if Bill bellich can transition to that you see what I’m saying Jimmy knows how people he he he he focused and he studyed how people think you know so I Believe Jimmy can transition in today’s game and still in
His own way put pressure because that’s just the reality you got to put pressure what is what what’s going to happen the last two minutes of a game you’re going to feel pressured so all of this situation let’s make sure they don’t feel pressured let’s make sure they just
Have it like they that that’s not going to happen in a game like that so we need to create it here off the football field so you get used to it so when it happens on the football field you’re used to it it’s your expectations that’s what create pressure the expectations that
Are there teams before you put a championship on the table you have to put one on the table that’s the pressure of the National Football League yeah okay so Richard back to you 12 and five as as Michael pointed out it it means nothing to me leading the league in
Offense in points scored means zero to me at this point because it just doesn’t matter anymore now matters it starts right now and I look back at 12 and5 and how many mornings did Michael and I have to come in here and take the abuse from you and kesan over what happened at
Arizona the egg we laid what happened at San Francisco 42 to10 that thing that happened what what happened at Buffalo what happened at Miami what happened at home against Detroit when we we lost the game we effectively lost it and the referee took us off the hook so we
Should have lost three straight games we did not play well enough to beat Detroit at home in my opinion I think Michael concurred and yet we because Philly fell on its face masks all of a sudden we stumbled backward into winning the East and all of a sudden we sort of stumbled
Backward into Oh wait we’re the two seed and all we had to do was go take care of business in Washington and Michael and I both thought they played great at Washington albe it against a a pathetic team that was just fighting for its last life with with obviously Ron Rivera as
An arch rival of the Dallas Cowboys but they felt the pressure but they felt the pressure of this road of these potholes in the road that they needed to get filled and they and they played better they play much better okay I I got a question for you guys I got a question
For you guys because I don’t think you you you I think you see one side of the coin hey they don’t make the right decisions then fire fire McCarthy and everything is better how often have you seen a coach get replaced in the team improve how often have you seen a coach
Get fired and the next coach come in and improve that team and take them further the next year the next year the very next year the the very next because you think your expectations are going to change next year or you going to lower your expectations for another coach
Dolphins do it when they got Mike didn’t the Dolphins do it when they found that coach did they get better I mean uh uh Flor has had a winning winning record they won seven in a row his last seven did and then they were fine but they they I’m just saying
It’s rare that a situation you have the number one offense it doesn’t get better than that it doesn’t get better than that your defense is top five it get it rarely gets better than that so you’re saying hey let’s let’s replace this this coach cuz if you don’t give Dan Quinn a
Job he’s gone he’s gone somewhere else whe whether he’s going to be a coordinator or he’s going to be a head coach I don’t think he returns to Dallas if he doesn’t have the head job because why would he why would he why would he deal with the turnover so you’re
Potentially losing most of your staff I would guess Al Harris gets a head coaching shot or interview at least he’ll definitely get a defensive coordinator job if he doesn’t get a head coach look um so you’ll start to lose key pieces and you’ll say say hey well
Let’s replace everybody so now your team will be worse so now you’re saying hey we didn’t win the Super Bowl so let’s get rid of everybody now it’s going to get worse that’s how you end up in the cycle that you guys are in all right I’ll answer this go ahead Michael right
Right no no sh and and Sh let’s get back to this because the reality is the Dolphins did get better with Coach McDaniels coming in now even with Coach McDaniel coming in even when you start talking wins it wasn’t just about wins it was also about de developing a Young
Quarterback remember they were rotating in quarterback and all of that that they went through now he has made this not only he has developed that quarterback he has developed a system that’s going to work in Miami for quite a while now and is given to her that career so yes
He has made it better I understand the premise of what you’re talking about but the reality is this yes the number one offense it was the number one offense under Kell Moore so so are we now we going to get all of this to Mike
McCarthy you see what I mean we we we working a number one offense even before Mike McCarthy took over the offense he took over a number one offense and kept it a number one offense so tell me what what what’s great and what he did that’s right there that’s easier said than done
Dak Prescott has had his best year of his career CD lamb has exploded on the scene number one in a number of categories and the way they’ve used him is very unique but I I’m just saying I hear what you’re saying but I you don’t
Want to be sitting here next year with a fired coach and y’all at a 500 record or something because what I tell you told here next year listen to y’all jibba jabba B Baba about how many how long we not been through this that’s what I
Don’t want to be sitting here next year listen that’s the reality of it that’s what I I’m I’m sick of sitting here listen it this every year yeah Richard let’s just do the hypothetical what if Mike McCarthy gets fired and somehow Jerry hires Mike Vel do you think the
Cowboys would be a little better next year because I do I think he’s a little better football coach than Mike mccarth they’d be worse because who is he going to hire as his offensive coordinator their offense in Tennessee was pedestrian yeah we could we have enough pieces on offense it would not matter
You you yeah you keep the staff together when offensive staff some of that together you without Mike you know you can that’s not really how it work if people come in they hire their buddies that’s Vel is going to bring in his guys and that’ be the problem yeah all right
So speaking of Mike Vel we gave Mike Kell more we gave Mike Kell more we can you know I’m just saying can you believe that Tennessee fired Mike Vel I can’t we debate next me Neither do you love TV do you love saving money then Pho is your solution Pho has shows movies and live TV for just $25 a month you can even try it for free with their 7-Day free trial no contracts no commitments no hassles just a better way to watch TV Pho has an

Undisputed to get 50% off your first month surprise surprise Mike Vel fired in Tennessee as one one League source told Charles Robinson of yahoo.com and I quote unbelievable guy is a phenomenal coach hard to believe he’s free he’ll have a job in 5 seconds so Michael Irvin
Please you first how surprised Were You by this fire I I I was very surprised it’s so it’s so amazing we were just talking about you know mik mccarthur and where he asked to go you do know this guy in 2019 had the tenness Titans in a conference Championship game that was
Not too long ago you know I think in 2021 he won coach of the year that was not not too long ago you know and and and you know you guys knew what Tennessee was prior to him getting there he brought such great discipline every
Time they showed up on the field I know they’ve had back-to-back losing Seasons things didn’t work out there but but those back-to-back Seasons coincide with you taking away his main in and sending him to Philadelphia also that I know he did not want to happen in Arthur Juan
Brown you know so so now you start saying right you you you’re taking those assets away and and and you’re leaving them with he had a great running back in Derek Henry you know but but okay W okay quarterback and and then you got AJ Brown who went up and made plays with
Ryan Tanner here didn’t have to be perfect when you when you give him away now you don’t have that Trayvon Burks didn’t work out quite like they wanted him to do in replacing Arthur Juan Brown and things went South go and find him another big time receiver let him help
You find him another big time receiver but there’s no way I’m let Mike Vel get away there’s not one time that you s you saw them on a football field where they were unprepared or not ready to play and Skip that’s what you start talking about when you start talking about a
Disciplined coach now I can only cook with the with with the recipe and the ingredients you give me since we’re working together but anytime you give them anything he’s cooked a pretty good meal I I I was shocked they let Mike Vel go and I was more shocked at the
Comments from the owner after yeah and that was what was most concerning to me because she said I wasn’t willing to wait in the back of the line for the right head coach I wasn’t willing that’s why they weren’t willing to trade Mike but they weren’t going forward with him at all
And that was really odd to me because it’s a one of those situations where you feel like the grass is greener on the other side and I guarantee you it’s likely not yeah if you take away A team’s best player like you did with AJ Brown they’re going to be a worst team
And you didn’t let the head coach have any say so and that and it’s because you didn’t want to pay him Max money he was a Max receiver that’s all you you got to pay for what you get that changed the dynamic of the entire team that changed
The structure of the entire offense trayon Burks wasn’t who you thought he was so now you’re punishing the head coach you bring in a new general manager uh and ran Caron who who came from San Francisco who’s been who’s been really good and it’s going to be really good
But it seemed like he and Braves didn’t see eye to eye on things which is a weird dynamic between a GM and and head coach when you know they’re not married step and step and one’s hired after the other or vice versa but I just I I think this is the wrong
Call man I I can’t tell you how much I agree I can’t tell you how shocked I was about this and to Richard’s point I will amplify because Amy Adam Strunk also said in the statement that she released and I quote as the NFL continues to innovate and evolve I believe the team’s
Best position for sustained success will be those who Empower an aligned and collaborative team across all football functions collaborative team she wanted Vel to be a team player as in just one of the the hierarchy and the decision makers on equal footing with her and obviously as Richard pointed out ran
Carthon and and all the other people in the front office and brael obviously old school chip off the Bell check block didn’t coach for him but it played for him obviously he’s his own guy and you want to talk about t toes down his his T
Toes are always down and right I don’t know how much he actually clashed with ran but it it sounded like there was some sort of power struggle internally and that Amy Adam Strunk chose ran carthon over Mike Vel that’s what it sounds like to me she she said he
Doesn’t want to be a team player I’m going with ran and the group that I have in place and we’ll fix this on the Fly post Mike Vel which was I I I think it’s absolutely the wrong decision absolutely wrong decision here here again we’re talking about susing
Uniforms I don’t know why they feel like they have to make a decision on what goes down on a football field I mean you don’t even spend much time coming in the locker room you when you have a team that was set up think about this guys
With Derek Henry that beast at running back and every time you try to come and stack the line of scrimmage to stop that you had AJ Brown a beast at wide receiver a go up and get anything anywhere to make all the mistakes don’t look like mistakes that Ryan Tanny Hill
Will make and you don’t get to understand that no matter what I’m never separating these two these two will play together with those two I can put just about anybody back at quarterback all you got to do is be able to just don’t throw interceptions but these two gives
You an opportunity and somehow some people wearing suits decided to break that up that you you you disqualified yourself from making any more decisions when you decided to break up that right there so just get out of the way stop talking about a unified standing on making decisions you dis qualified
Yourself yeah right and that and that’s why they fired the GM uh or that’s why they fired the GM but that’s not Brave’s fault he has to sit there and try to try to make something happen with the ingredients that he has left and you’re not giving him great ingredients trayon
Burks you spent the first rounder on him wasn’t what you he deserves more years just because of that you’re making these decisions and he has to live with him H okay let’s fast forward we have no idea yet what Bill bich che’s fate will be in New England but let’s just say he’s
Elsewhere next year do you think that Robert Craft would jump on Mike Vel that’s the first question and the second question Michael is do you think Vel would want a coach in New England with what’s not left in that cupboard yeah and that’s the whole world
That’s the whole thing about it man that is that’s probably the worst job available you know what I mean when we start talking about it it it’s not even available right now but if it becomes available it’s probably the worst job but this is what’s funny about that cuz
Now I feel if they if they letting Mike Vel go they’re probably going to let Derk Henry move on to I would imagine I don’t know I’m just assuming if Derrick Henry probably wants to follow Mike vble if he can you know so so so here’s this
Here’s this and I don’t know if Rabel wants to do it but but they will give him the leeway he needs in the time he needs I would if I’m Vel I’m going to get a long-term contract I know you’re my boy Mr Crab but I’m going to need
Some longterm to work this thing out but it will work in this way rael’s about running the football and playing great defense and and and I know you don’t have the right quarterback in New England yet and he’ll still be in the same situation he was in in Tennessee
But it’s New England you’re not going to go find one of these Mike McDaniel type to come in and bring this airf flying offense in New England it’s not going to happen in New England anyway because you you you’re going to have a lot of bad weather games and if things are going
Great you’re going to have home games in the playoff that are bad weather games so you’re going to build your team still around running the football and playing great defense which is his specialty but he has to find him a quarterback to make the plays when they are there I don’t
Need the guy throwing the ball off all over the field I just need the guy not making the mistakes and making the plays when they are there yeah Rabel can win in New England with that formula yeah I I think whatever situation he walks into I think he would
Because he would walk into New England if given that opportunity if belich walked just because of the storyline I think New England I think crafts would do it he’s a homegrown Talent um he’s a coach that that kind of fits that mode of coaching uh but I would assume this
Time he’s going to tell them I need power over my roster I need to pick the guys on my roster I need to know and have say so when guys are going to depart from my roster I don’t want you trading guys from up under me and then I
Have to just make the most out of what I got I want to make that decision I want to have that power so like Irv said it would be the worst job of any job out there um and I don’t see a lot of coaches that are are are going to be
Jumping choing at the bit to go to New England and Coach but I think Braves fits the bill although obviously yeah go ahead Michael yeah I want to clear something when I say you you you when I tell talk about people wearing suits not being able to handle
Or know what’s going on in the field I I I it’s not that you don’t know football you don’t know the importance or the understanding of that locker room you don’t know like a AJ Brown what he meant in the locker room and you’re looking at numbers you’re looking at numbers and
Saying well we can handle these numbers we can handle these I’m telling you sometimes I I can go in the locker room and say we can’t do it without that guy right there we can’t do it without that guy and Vel saying you can’t take those
Guys out of the locker room and expect the same results and that’s what you did to me that’s what they did to him right right right they took they took a very important piece out of it and and to your point they didn’t calculate how important he was they thought it was
Plug and play and and sometimes again people get caught up in the X’s and O’s and and we talk about everything that happened in Seattle when we when we lost our secondary and everything fell apart it was because people thought it was was the ex’s and O’s and it was really the
Jimmies and Joe’s and with with AJ Brown it wasn’t just hey find a guy his size his build around his speed and he’s going to be able to do about the same thing it’s a special guy that’s making this happen right right right it it I’m speaking to that
Before every game before every game em and I em and I walked out I was 88 he was 22 the last thing we did before we touched the field we hit our heart boom boom We Double Trouble baby now we grew together we grew it together you can go
Find a receiver that’s better than me fast or quicker whatever whatever you want but you’re not going to have that connection so so he’s not going to before they hit the field Hy me and you buddy me and you I’m sure that’s what they were doing that’s what I’m talking
About you people in suits just don’t get and when you break that up you crumble it’s like ripping a piece of paper it’s like it’s you know how hard it is to put this back together after I rip that’s why stay your keep your decisions man just stay out of the
Locker room let the people in the locker room tell you what’s important in the locker room I can’t tell you how important that is so all I know about this is It’s very rare when a coach of Mike vel’s magnitude with with his track record hits the open market it just doesn’t
Happen very often and somebody’s going to hit the lottery with him I again he’ll have to make the choice where he thinks the best fit is for him but Michael for our sake in the NFC East the team that scares me the most right now
With the most brain power at the top is now Josh Harris running the commanders with input from Michael Irvin Bob Meyers and Rick Spielman and there’s there’s smart there there’s there’s knowhow there there’s there’s a a new Direct ction and a new command there I I don’t
Love what’s left in the locker room because they still don’t have a quarterback they do have some other pieces but would would Vel just be attracted to the leadership there the ownership there that he could trust going forward because if he did they will they’re going to make waves quickly
And they do have the second pick in the draft obviously that that that’s a great point you bring it up with Washington cuz magic and you said Mike Orton but you meant Magic inv right right so so what you’re saying is what we’re saying now in Washington
The guy wearing wearing the suit really understand what’s going on with the people wearing the uniform so they could be Harmony there see magic understands more than anybody you don’t trust me magic understands more than anybody about how to lead men how to put it together I don’t know I told you guys
This story you know when I first got in the league my f one of my first days in Dallas I got into this big argument with Ron Harper you know we were out got into the big argument with Ron Harper the first training camp I go to in Thousand
Oaks uh California Magic Johnson was having his training camp right there with the Dallas Cowboys do you know magic heard about this this this little Fallout me and Ron Harper had and he called us in his office he brought run Hopper 2,000 o he called me in his
Office and he sat us down as rookies I was a rookie he was like listen we ain’t going to have any of this wow we’re not going to have any of this Crossing Sports I was like whoa where this Joker coming from I was a young buck sitting
In there but it it told me a whole lot about what Magic Johnson is Ron Harper and I right now to this day the best of friends we talk to each other we see each other we hug each other all because of what magic did Magic understands the
Important of that locker room you’re right that word is me I don’t know why we having this conversation let’s change this conversation before they listen to us will be ining let’s just stop this right now can you even give us a little hint what was the beef with Ron
Harper I had just got I’m I’m young and crazy I just got into Dallas and I walked in this place this little club and they were all set up and and and you know I walked in like the new man the new sheriff sit down now so so so they
Didn’t necessarily like it I told him I don’t care what they like all they have is time soon as I get my time I’m going to get my money in my ring and that I did you did times three yes you did okay we got to change the subject because we
Have got to talk Aaron Rogers is he just making himself look worse and worse and worse that SS no mercy no Merc Merc Aaron Rogers responded to Jimmy Kimmel yesterday but of course avoided apologizing for wrongly accusing Kimmel this prompted Nancy armor of USA Today to write the Epitaph of Aaron Rogers
Career will no longer be limited to one Super Bowl title for MVP awards and countless superlative stats it will also have to include his descent into conspiracy theories and misinformation and a baseless attack on Jimmy Kimmel he tried badly to excuse as a misunderstanding once again Rogers tried
To blame the media saying and I quote Aaron this is their game plan they use these words to cancel people and they went and ran with this because it’s the crazy antivaxer wacko accusing somebody Nancy armor now concludes you can no longer separate Rogers the Star Quarterback from Rogers the quack so
Michael Irving you’re in the Pro Football Hall of Fame you understand reputation how much damage has Aaron Rogers Done To His Image all this has been interesting because we watched Aaron Rogers leave Green Bay and I thought he was doing a great job uh immersing himself in New
York in his new situation with his team we saw him put out a great effort even after four plays in tearing his Achilles to try to get back to S Team all of those are good things I don’t know why Aaron is on this rant right here I
Watched Jimmy Kimmel tear into him uh last night and and and it pretty fun actually a couple nights ago it was pretty funny to be honest with you and and and it’s a place you don’t want to be now now and and you know what with
With the things I’ve saw seen and even in the article he’s talking about this is going to put them up there with the with the Barry Bonds you know uh uh the Pete the the Pete road with the gambling and all of that stuff L Armstrong y yeah
And the Lance Armstrongs and and all of that and and I don’t know if that’s so I don’t if that’s so talking to to this degree because because you know those those those things that actually touch the sport in which they participated in but th this is taking him into another
World open eyes and know other people are talking about it but you can never win football is a bring you together thing it it brings everybody together you can have your teams and we can compete but when you start going over into that world you know the politics
And and all the stuff that Aaron’s talking about then then things does they they get cloudy they get cloudy and and it’s and it’s a distraction it’s a distraction and Aaron has to understand you can say all of this in Green Bay no doesn’t even make a trickle but you
Say some of it in New York and you get an avalanche and that’s what he has to understand yeah good point yeah I I I I think that’s a reckless article I I I don’t I don’t agree that it should have ever been written um I agree that Aaron
Has said some controversial things and that should deserve criticism and and and all that but to compare him to people that have cheated the game AG cheated the sports they he didn’t cheat he didn’t cheat he didn’t take steroids he didn’t do anything on the football field to
Tarnish his legacy of what he did on the football field so to say that and write that in the article is beyond Reckless and and and and ridiculous it’s it’s ridiculous for anybody to to associate those things because what you’re trying to associate is him cheating the game
You’re associating him with people who have cheated in their Sports to get an advantage or cheated in their Sports to to get financial gain or whatever the case may be and that’s not the case is he being a little crazy right now in conspiracy theorist no question no
Question about it that’s beyond debate but to say hey this is going to tarnish his legacy of what he did on the football field I I I just think that’s that’s let me back a little sh sh let me push back a little for him that wrote
This article in this sense that I can see just a little inkling of what he’s talking about because of the times that we are in right now where before yes it would not have an effect on Aaron roders because it would have gotten dropped out
It it happened at 11:00 at night on some little news channel but with social media here this stuff gets over played played over played over that little clip that Aaron Rogers get played over and over and over again now it won’t affect his I think football Legacy on the field
Like with the guys that he brought up but that clip Aaron Rogers keep playing it’ll go over and over we got start thinking about what social media means now and how that plays into all of what we’re talking about I hear I hear what you’re saying but this is a day and age
Where 24-hour News stream changes every day there’s going to be a gazillion Clips between now in 10 years of of other people saying stuff and other people going viral and things like that but I I agree with what you’re saying like hey maybe he’s going to sound crazy
That’s it’s going to be associated with him but to say it affect his football Legacy that’s where I draw the line that’s where I draw the IR because you’re comparing it to people who suly their Legacy by cheating not s their Legacy by saying something wild now if
You said Terrell Owens and maybe he had some Antics off the field and did some things to to kind of but he didn’t cheat he didn’t cheat no he’s still a great football player he’s still a Hall of Famer Aaron’s still a Hall of Fame football player he’s still a Hall of
Fame Talent it doesn’t change anything he’s done on the field so I take offense by somebody really trying to associate that in that way yeah and by the way with to won’t stop him from getting in Hall of Fame it won’t stop him from getting into Hall of Fame like he’s
Stopping them from getting in their Hall yeah you’re right hey Richard just a quick point of order from a journalist I I did like what Nancy wrote for the most part I think the headline was misleading and I think it took it in a different direction that you took it and she
Didn’t write the headline so just for the I that’s not the point of this conversation but I just want to make editors okay okay yes yes but now back to the bigger Point here I I have criticized Aaron for years and years I’ve been Al Lone Wolf for many of those
Years but mine has been more locker room sideline football stuff and by the way if I just want to criticize just his football Legacy I’m going to say it again since that long ago far away Super Bowl 13 years ago he’s seven and nine in
The postseason and if I had time I would take you through the seven wins because he got some big breaks in all seven of the wins and the nine losses some of them were horrendous losses because Richard you witnessed a couple of them and Aaron stunk in those losses the one
At Seattle what was that the NFC championship game and then you also was at the NFC championship game at San Francisco y yeah right I mean we we had some pretty good defenses I’m just saying that you you made him look bad that’s what happened in both of those so
My point is even that that long ago Super Bowl wildcard Road run remember in the NFC championship game at Chicago Jake Cutler gets hurt and he’s on the bicycle in the second half the second half of that game I dare anybody to go look at Aaron Rogers
Performance he wasn’t very good by Aaron Rogers for MVP standards frankly he’s stunk in the second half and he was very lucky that remember he’s up against the immortal Caleb Haney playing quarterback for the Bears they were lucky they survived and got to the Super Bowl and
And he was great in the Super Bowl against the Pittsburgh defense Troy poala played with a bad hamstring Ryan Clark and he ate him up and Greg Jennings ate him up on that post route touchdown I I give him that but if you look hard I I think he’s had some epic
Fails especially at home the last three years in Green Bay and I’m not even counting the one a year ago when they lost what was sort of a playoff for the playoff game at home to destroy the last regular season game so you can justly criticize his football over the
Last 13 years and I can criticize his lack of leadership in the football context his Diva personality his finger pointing and blame deflecting as the quarterback and alleged leader of that football team and that’s why he’s no longer there and by the way it’s also why in the big picture remember State
Farm dropped him he owned those State Farm commercials and he was great in them for many what what was it for it felt like 15 years of Aaron Rogers dominating State Farm commercials and it was odd that he goes to New York finally leaves smallest Market Green Bay for the
Big Apple and State Farm said no and and it’s because he started taking away from football stances political stances antiac stances and finally State Farms like we’re out and I think a lot of people are now out on Aaron just because he has gotten a little wacky in some of
His you know obviously his conspiracy theory theories right yeah but I but again that doesn’t i i as a football guy as a guy who speaks football lives football in the football world I really could care less I could care less did he cheat the game
Is he doing something to take away from the game because that’s what I’m talking about right now when you write an article like that to in insinuate that he has cheated the game somehow because he’s taken some some kind of outrageous stances on vs and and antiv etc etc
That’s where I take I take and and that’s where you can’t you can’t do it you know that’s where you’re going to sit here and we’re going to have to criticize your article because you have a fair point in the article no question Nancy has a fair point in what she’s
Saying hey these stances are outrageous and it’s taken away from the greatness of the football player but then to go and associated with those guys changes the complexity of your article in totality okay but Richard real quick you you you look at the game very differently than the the average fan
Looks at the game I think she’s riding more to the average fan because for the fans it’s it is starting to be hard to separate the great quarterback from the conspiracy theorist right it’s it’s starting that they’re starting to blend together you can’t forget the off the
Field in favor of the on the field because one’s starting to outweigh the other well what well only only now because he not playing football now once a and Rogers Rogers get back on the football field the results of the game will outweigh all the talks that we’re
Hearing right now that’s all because since Aaron Rogers is not on the football field he’s in New York everything he talks about right now you know they’re trying to build the other show the shows he come on and everything and he’s helping them I as opposed to
Worrying about I need to make sure I have my city and the city he has is so drowning and political why are you jumping in that game why are you jumping in that game you’re go and bring people together that City’s got enough of that stuff that you’re perpetuating already
Trust me it does yeah I agree yeah and by the way if if Aaron could lead the Jets to next year’s Super Bowl championship a lot of this it’s forgotten quickly man because all of a sudden you’re what I’m talking about right that’s what I’m talking that’s and that’s the that’s the point
Like so so if Aaron Rogers didn’t play another down and he shut it down and hung up the cleats today he’d be a Hall of Fame player and he’d be one of the best Hall of Fame get back to what Dion’s point was there should be a
Different Hall of Fame for some of these Hall of Famers because they hall of fames aren’t always created equal there’s some of these guys that are getting in these days that aren’t on Tom Brady’s level aren’t on Aaron’s level aren’t on on pton Manning’s level aren’t
On Dion’s and her’s level and so but at the end of the day he’s a Hall of Famer and a Hall of Famer with a great resume so I I just I think she could have wrote it without the without the associations I I got it but Richard is it fair to me
In the football context to to bring up and criticize Aaron for having the one seed going back two years ago in Green Bay he had the one seed and he wound up with his first ever home NFC Championship game and he did not play well in that game and lost to Brady
Obviously then the next year he’s got the one seat again and in the first home playoff game against Jimmy G he he stunk it up again and they lost and then last year they had that late chance to to make it into the play all they had to do
Is beat Detroit at home and he played poorly in that game is it fair in that context to criticize no question that’s fair that’s football criticism that’s fair criticism that’s the most crucial games that he’s playing of the season the games that matter the most he didn’t play well you get to fairly
Criticize and and and it’s not even with regardless to how he played it came down in that first championship game to a decision that Aaron Rogers made he could have I believ ran and scored a touchdown he decided to throw that ball late remember back across his body or one
Play I remember seeing well one receiver was open early but he held on to it I think to go to Devonte Adam or something and it fell incomplete so it wasn’t that he played poorly down in the end when the game was on the line he made poor
Decisions also Tom Brady made the right decisions and then they won that game so yeah you you can criticize that yeah he he had it Michael he had it first and goal at the eight and he threw it three straight times he could have run it the
Second on second and third down he it looked like it was open for him to just bolt and run for the the pylon and might have made it right and even if he didn’t make it he You’ have been on the one inch line to go on your on down on your
Next down you could have gotten in the end zone and won that game and going to a super B those are decisions yeah Michael young coach at that time was very young decided on fourth down I think I’m going to take the field goal when they didn’t really need the field
Goal at that point they needed a touchdown and he didn’t let the four-time MVP throw one more time for The End Zone and that was the end of the game all right and and and Skip that’s why he and he wanted to throw that touchdown to beat Brady he didn’t want
To run it he wanted to throw that touchdown to beat Brady and and that’s what got him CAU up you’re overthought you think you can outthink everybody you overthought same thing you had to deal with SH same thing you had to deal with you know you’re overthinking just hand
The ball off to Marshon Lynch here let’s not try to outthink everybody let’s do this and you know what I’m saying you know what I’m saying all right in a moment we got to talk about what happened out here in Los Angeles last night at the Crypt Toronto’s coach
Blasted the refs for allowing the Lakers to shoot 23 three fourth quarter free throws to only two for the Raptors then again LeBron James shot zero free throws in the fourth quarter we’ll debate all that in just a moment now it’s your turn hash Undisputed live here we go first tweet
From James Pearson Jerry Jones giving Mike mcarthy a vote of confidence I think that’s J.R Ying nobody gives you power real power is is something you take okay yeah right right confidence Michael do you ever watch the TV show Dallas fan no fan oh yeah oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah I love I love Dallas man did I watched that yeah yeah did a did a shoot on the set of Dallas oh wow yeah I did a shoot it was impressive okay I always thought Dallas belonged in Houston the TV show was more about Houston than
Dallas but that’s just me all right next up from Eric Skip and he’s obviously a 49er fan skip Dallas better win versus Green Bay Sherman key will be relentless that’s a fact and he goes on to say a 49ers Dallas NFC title game would set alltime TV ratings records he’s got
49ers by 14 as we see Fred Warner in last year’s divisional loss 19 to2 at San Francisco pointing it back like I got you yeah yeah we want you like we want you you got yeah yeah yeah okay yeah okay it would be happy to see him again
Must must be an end to this yes there must be an end third time would be the charm okay and finally from Thomas Edwards coach Edwards who says skips prediction of how the Dallas Cowboys season would go is just like his golf game a hole in one aced it hole in one I
Did yesterday I must admit I had my first ever hole in one and I felt like I had just won the Masters I never thought I would have one and miracles do occur I am living proof of that well well I’m happy for you I’m ringing the bell at brenwood Country
Club a tradition when you have a hole in one thank you very much Brentwood is exclusive now not not really I got into it how can it be exclusive what I’m saying what I’m saying you somebody yeah you know that’s what you’re saying skip your somebody well yesterday I was cuz
I’m ringing the bell the hole in one Bell I never thought it would happened but it did okay might be Super Bowl this year skip yeah what’s that say again that might be your Super Bowl this year skip right right you know what I thought I thought it was an Jimmy Johnson curse
You’re right the Jimmy Johnson curse we got holes and ones now this thing is lining up like I don’t know what it is lining up buddy is right that’s what coach Edwards is saying thank you very much okay we got to talk a little bit of
NBA cuz there was a lot of NBA that happened out here in La last night Raptor coach Darko Raja kovic first time I ever said his name went on a table pounding rant I know him now after the raps lost by a point last night to the
Lakers in La it was 132 to 131 that was a lot of points but his point was that in the fourth quarter alone the Lakers shot 23 free throws to Toronto’s two free throws Lakers outscored them from the free throw line 19 to1 in the fourth quarter
Yet the the Raptors were only outscored in the fourth by two points it was 4442 Lakers in the fourth quarter so here’s what Darko had to say that’s that’s that’s outrageous what happened tonight this is completely BS this is shame shame for the referees shame for the
League to allow this 23 free throws for them and we get two free throws in in a fourth quarter how is that possible how you going to explain that that to me they had to win tonight if that’s if that’s the case just let us know so we
Don’t show up for the game just give them a win but that that was not fair tonight Darko calm down okay so he definitely has a point yet lately the Lakers have been the ones complaining in the league offense that LeBron rarely gets the calls he deserves and the irony last
Night was that in the fourth quarter LeBron shot zero free throw throws for the Lakers who shot 23 okay so Richard you being lifelong DieHard Lakers fan did the Raptors get a raw deal in the fourth quarter I don’t know Skip I mean some of those were intentional fouls uh there
Was an offensive foul in there there was there was there was the flagrant that may have been a flagrant one they gave his a flagrant two you know when he elbowed cam reddish in the face qule came across yeah yeah right right right that was about that
Was what 10 12 free throws right there so those were kind of self-inflicted and then the rest of them you got to expect a team that that has a big man that’s dominating in the paint is going to get some calls and that’s that’s what happened now did I think there were some
Calls that that they could have got Toronto on the three-pointer that was banked in I thought maybe there was a foul there was a chance when they went drove for a dunk at one point that looked like a foul but there weren’t a lot of opportunities where I thought man they’re missing
These calls for Toronto and and they need to be calling this I mean the Lakers were letting them get to the cup with no resistance at times so there wasn’t no fouls it wasn’t no defense at all sometimes so Scotty Barnes might have a grip gripe for for one or two
Plays but outside of that I mean I didn’t see a ton yeah first my first thought was when I listened to him in the rant I said oh that’s going to be finable that that they had to win just let me know so we don’t have to show up okay that’s that
Right there is going to be finable he suggested it was rigged right that’s what I’m saying and the NBA is not going for that buddy oh they will not go for that now trust me they’re going to have they’re going to say something about that you talked about a sh 11 free
Throws with how many Anthony Davis had in in in in in the fourth quarter so so you know but when you hear those numbers I can understand his gripe when you hear those numbers and and you guys are breaking it down of course you know with
With some of the intentional and all of that but they do sound extreme they sound extreme and like whoa something had to go fishy here something had to get funny here in that kind of situation but skip you you talked about it you know he talked about hey if we need a
Star Scotty Bond’s one of the Stars he’s a ofite no saying that that guy on the other side over there LeBron ads those are face of the league guys those guys over there you guys are not Scotty bar is not face of the league kind of guy you know what I’m saying
Good player good young player good young player but not not face of the league kind of guy right now so I I I see it I said man I I don’t know if if I’m saying they were cheating or anything like that I I don’t think think that was his
Situation I also thought about this guy cuz I know we’ll talk about Draymond Green I said to myself hm I wonder even if Draymond Green did that same thing quidley just did are we G to see cuz we nobody said that was intentional when quidley did it last night when he hit
Cam reddish it’s just a thought that went through my head because now uh since he’s back Draymond Green back if he if one of those kind of situations are we going to call that unintentional that kind of situ that’s what I thought about I don’t think this was purp
Purposeful um I just think it fell out that way okay allow me to say that we have criticized and criticized and criticized some more Anthony Davis on this show to the point that our man L way what’s that yeah yeah little Wayne went so far to say it’s time for him to
Go and I believe that Wayne one of the smartest people I know on the face of this Earth and one of the smartest sports fans I know was he he was calculated he wanted to light a new fire under Anthony and I believe he has cuz ever since Wayne called him out Bo
Anthony has been playing dare I say at a top five level his fourth quarter last night was a top five player fourth quarter because you score 20 in the fourth when the other team is is just riging threes on you and you go to the
Free throw line 11 times and make all 11 and even better down the stretch of that game Anthony Davis made nine straight free throws in the last four minutes that’s extraordinary to me to me for a man that big it’s like Joel embiid can make free throws but for Anthony who’s
Missed a lot of key free throws in the past for this team to come up that big was special to me and it it was significant to me because he’s showing you he can carry the load he can still do it I know we say yeah but where will
You be tomorrow night and the next night the next night but that was spectacular and remember it’s 132 to 131 so nobody’s playing much defense here and the Lakers still I I’ve seen him clamp down on the Clippers and I saw him clamped down on Indiana in that cup
Final but they weren’t playing any defense last night but the point was that Toronto does have uh a respectable big man and yaka purle I know him I like him I think he’s a good guy and I think he’s a smart player and he gives you all
He’s got every night and he’ll give you like 11 and eight and he couldn’t play last night so all of a sudden they got a gaping hole in their defense and and Anthony and LeBron took advantage of it because LeBron’s just feeding Anthony like crazy and he rose and he Shone last
Night and yet it did come down to one play and Toronto had some beef here although I I I’m with the call on this if we could see it real quick this is 24.8 seconds left Scotty Barnes face the league made another three and it was
Cold man it was a coldblooded three and they called RJ Barrett for a moving screen and I thought he did because he he he moves into Anthony I thought he was moving and I thought it was a fair call they went crazy Toronto did because they thought they were already getting
Screwed but do you guys think that was a reasonable call the right call yeah I mean I think it was a foul I don’t I think Anthony Davis might have exaggerated it to a degree um I don’t think that should have knocked him to the ground but I think it was a moving
Screen have they not caught that before no question uh I think Anthony Davis being on the court and falling to the ground affected that call all right I I don’t think that was much of a call right right look at here you you know it’s not like he’s
Continuing to move and you’re right Anthony put some he he he put some Hollywood on it he put some Hollywood on it okay but if if you don’t call that the game is tied at that point maybe we’re having a different conversation and yet Anthony goes late in the game
And makes the two free throws that makes it a four-point game and then Richard mentioned schruder X Laker makes one off the glass if we could see this at the end and here we go Richard Richard you got this and it could have been it looked like Austin Reed might have gotten
Him right it was close looks like he’s it looked like he got him a little bit they could have definitely called that I wouldn’t have been surprised if they called that and it was a four-point playo so Richard overall what’s your takeaway from last night they could have called wait wait
Wait look look watch this how ARS Reed right remember you got to give him the space to come down remember that those rules that they put in so they don’t come down on somebody’s heel and hurt themselves so Austin Reed yeah where where is this space to come down so you
Know what I’m saying you could here yeah definitely yeah yeah I’m not sure call Glass but I don’t know it looked pretty P actually maybe from that angle he did call Glass if he called glass I mean he he’s NBA player so they they got different kind of talent but so Richard
We elated deflated last night what what’s what’s your emotion off that game I’m not elated about anything right now skip we’re at 500 team we were uh after the tournament we were what four games over 500 five games over 500 feeling good looking good they played great in
That champion ship for the playin and since then we have not played with the same kind of effort I mean except for the Clippers game we have not played with the same kind of intensity and so I’m not elated about anything I’m I’m more indifferent I’m more Wai and see
Because we need to continue to win these games we’ve won two in a row uh they need to continue to play Anthony Davis has played well throughout this time so I got to give him credit because we we criticized him a ton have we yeah right
Let me tell you what I’m elated about let me tell you what I’m elated about I’m elated about that right there what I just heard Sher said and what you keep mentioning uh skip is as when Anthony Davis doesn’t play well we talk about it right here do so every time he plays
Well we must give equal billing to that every time we would keep bringing it up I don’t care what we Des he deserves that because if he plays poorly we gonna talk about it so all that he’s doing right now since since since lne has called him out we’re doing right and
Giving him his just dessert because he is balling right now he’s showing you yeah I can take this thing over if LeBron should one day move away you got that right okay we got to get back to the National Football League because uh hold on the Chiefs are only
Fourpoint favorites in subzero weather over the Miami Dolphins we discuss next no Merc no Merc Chiefs coach Andy Reed scoffed about the potential below zero temperatures for Saturday night’s playoff game against Miami at at Arrowhead Reed saying we’re not having a snowball fight well the The Battered dolphins are obviously a warm
Weather-based team with a quarterback from Hawaii but to Reed’s point the oddsmakers open the Chiefs is only a three and Half Point favorite which now has been bet up to Kansas City by four so Michael Irvin you being from Fort lawterdale does this point spread seem about right to
You well let me see when when when I looked at last game of course that week n game you know was 2114 uh the the final score and and and in that game I saw Tyreek Hill let a ball go that I thought could have been a
Touchdown so I thought Miami could have won that game even though that was a cross the way when they played the Chiefs here now now I I I I I see this game as about even and you go three and a half you know we give three points to
To the home team but but here’s what here’s what’s interesting about this game when you start talking about the weather that this is going to have and the effect that the weather’s going to have on this game you know that ball gets heavy in cold weather like that you
Have to focus more on the ball and ironically ironically ironically that helps more than hurts the Chiefs because the Chiefs they they’ve had so many drops and drops comes from a lack of focus a lack of focus on catching the pass now you getting this kind of
Weather that’s all you do is focus on catching the pass there is no I’m going to run early now because we know man this ball is heavy my hands feel like they got little knives little needles in each one of of them so I’m trying to
Make sure I can put my hand in the right position to catch that football this really may help them and focusing on making those plays I I it comes down to I believe though who can run this football better and I do believe Miami with the speed they have they they can
You know I know they didn’t do a great job last time I believe though in Kansas City this will be different I if the weather wasn’t so bad I would take Miami in this I would take Miami in this game but with the weather being where it is
And Chiefs knowing how to play in that weather and Miami doesn’t want any part of it I I I’ll end up taking the Chiefs and and and so I have to say yeah it’s about where it should be which is they have homefi advantage that’s what they’re saying it’s a pretty close game
Though you agree Rich yeah the yeah the the weather’s definitely helping the Chiefs uh I think that’s right that’s going to be a huge Advantage I think they should have ran the ball the Miami Dolphins should have ran the ball and kept running the ball last game
Had 12 carries for 85 yard he was averaging seven a carry and I think if they would have continued on that path they may have won that game uh they did do a great job on Tyreek Hill IR brought up the play that could have potentially been a touchdown but outside of that
They held him pretty much in check they held jayen W in check uh they held tuatonga vioa in check and and spags has consistently done a great job this season against tuatonga vioa um and and and against qubs with with explosive offenses so I think I I it’s very hard
To bet against Patrick Mahomes at Arrowhead in the playoffs where he’s 10-2 and the only two losses have come to Patrick Mahomes and Joe burrow I I it’s hard for me to think Tu Tabo is going to walk into Arrowhead and walk away with the victory despite everything
That the Kansas City Chiefs have gone through all the offensive inefficiency the drops um the kind of head scratching decisions at times I still think in the playoffs Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are tough out yeah you mean he’s lost let but what I thought what I thought
What I thought in that last game I thought in that last game because I interviewed Tyreek Hill right before that game remember and and Tyreek Hill he said he dreams about this he thinks about it he wanted to score so badly against his former team remember so
Coach McDaniel went in that game trying to satisfy his Superstar and understand it because I’m saying exact same thing you’re saying Richard if they they should have continued to run the ball but they wanted to get the ball in the hands of Tyreek Hill and remember Kansas
City has sne following him all over and banging him up at the line of scrimmage I’m saying you shown that now Mike McDaniel has to come up with something better to work around that and that that that’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out this bad weather
Should play in the Miami’s hand also which makes them forc them to go to H hand if most his back healthy but but but go use H hand in that running game more Michael if I didn’t know better I think you have a South Florida bias here
Operating because I I’m not seeing what you see I I see the dolphins in maybe minus five below you know five below zero temperatures I I see that as a recipe for disaster a nighttime disaster because every time they’ve gone on the road against a good team they get
Exposed and Jaylen waddle was uh he he was a limited participant in practice yesterday but it sounds like game time decision sounds iffy mostart could be iffy he practiced limited yesterday so they’re a beat up battered you you could go all the way to decimated football team and if it’s only
Tyreek as Richard says with spags just if it’s tyreq alone even going back to his old stomping grounds in Kansas City I I just don’t know how much damage spags will let just him do to that secondary right and let me tell you let
Me tell you what I mean by this let me tell you what I mean then okay because the weather is so badly now what happens yeah Miami has to come out of their primary game plan yeah which is quick game quick game to Tyreek quick game to
Tyreek well sne knows this they’re going to press Tyreek now so I’m going to use Tyreek Moore as a decco I know you’re going to press him and carry a safety over the top I’m going to move them out and I’m going to use this run game so
I’m saying the bad weather that helps you Kansas City and your receivers focus more is can help Miami also because it’ll get their focus off always trying to throw the ball and say let’s let’s play The Run game more and let’s see what happens here not one game has Miami
Said my primary is going to be the Run game and I’ll build off of it this game may be the first and I’m saying they may discover something in understanding they taking other taking that route and they can take that route CH just told you they were getting six seven yards a pop
Six or seven yards a pop with that kind of speed one or two times in the cold weather you miss him he’s gone reaching those hands out those fingers are are tight they’re cold they’re frozen those are those tackles hand finger tackles are a little bit more difficult that
Kind of speed he could be gone that’s why I’m saying what I’m saying and even if mostard does not play he still good right well that’s what I said even if most don’t play he didn’t play last week aan he he could be gone it’s not like
You’re going to get the next guy that’s slower the next guy is actually faster so that’s even more dangerous and yeah all of these slick blocking schemes they work better in this cold weather because people are moving a little slower to attack Miami you got to shoot those gaps
Before those blocking schemes hit you this is going to be more interesting than people give it than people think yeah it’s definitely gonna be interesting I think Jeff Wilson if if Raheem doesn’t play Jeff Wilson Jr is a battering ram and and it may be you know
It may be more conducive to him having success in this game anyway a cold conditions game you talked about people not wanting to tackle they definitely aren’t going to want to tackle him but on the other side PCO runs the ball very hard um consistently Edwards oair oair
They got backs to do the same thing so I think you know it could definitely be a short game if that’s where it ends up on the ground but I don’t think Andy Reid’s going to live on the ground with Patrick Mahomes in any conditions I have seen
Patrick play in cold weather before because in that AFC Championship game against Brady it was very cold that day I don’t know what the wind chill was around zero and I thought Patrick was great in that game Brady in overtime was just a little greater because he converted three straight third and 10
Which is almost inconceivable as they marched down for the touchdown and obviously Patrick didn’t get a chance but the point is I think Patrick will will throw it great in the cold I I think they’ll throw it great against Miami’s decimated defense obviously there’s no Bradley chub zaven Howard so
Man Michael I I don’t know four points I know you Michael you and I have never had a dinner bet I bet keesan a bunch and Richard some but would would you like to to do a dinner bet on this game would if I gave you four would you take it for a
Dinner M hey well well first but told you I’m taking the Chiefs because of the weather but I I’m telling you how this weather though is badam help I’m making a case but I’m taking it now I told you this though skip yeah if this weather wasn’t
This if the weather was better I would take Miami in that bet okay in that bet if the weather was better because I figured they they they they know how you’re going to play Tyreek kill now and I will put it on Mike McDaniel to figure
Out a way to use that against them because that’s exactly what what’s going to happen here in this game but I but the weather says I can’t take that bet okay I can’t take that I’m a Florida boy I know don’t bet on any Florida boy going into zero degree weather that’s
Not good okay so if I were a betting man I was once upon a time but I’m not anymore but if I were I would jump all over this I would I I’d be all over Kansas City on this and I would give the four to Miami because I think Kansas
City could win this game by 21 I think it could get out of hand just because you got Tua in the cold and I I just think it’s recipe for Miami disaster yeah and and and they’ll try to grab all the old all of the Old Glory in
This in this game because remember now everything ain’t coming through Kansas City anymore no no right right right it’s not going to be the arrowhead Invitational this year as it’s been the last 5 years if they win this game and buffalo wins they’ll likely have to go
To Buffalo and we can talk about that we can cross that bridge when we get there yeah Richard could you see Kansas City winning this by a lot no no I don’t think it’ll be by a lot I you I just can’t trust their offense like that like we have in the
Past to say hey they’re just going to get explosive I mean you you talk about they’ll be able to pass the ball all the way over the yard which is true because they have Patrick Mahomes will they be able to catch it that’s been the concern this season can they catch the football
And will they drop it and the the elements will make it worse now on the other side we can talk about Tyreek H but he played in Kansas city so we we know he’s coming back to the cold and that’s not his natural element but he
Did play there for years so he knows how to dress he knows which gloves to wear he knows which socks to wear he’ll know how to deal with these elements which cleats to wear this is this was his home stadium for a number of years so I don’t
Think the cold will have a huge effect on him because he’s I offer you then would you like to do a dinner on I’d give you Miami plus4 would you take that I don’t I I do not got Miami in this game I got Kansas City there we go case
Closed case closed all right we got to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers next because we’re heing Mike Tomlin might take next year off my point is Buffalo should hope he takes this Sunday off we’ll talk about that see who just called me y’all see who just called me
That’s Jerry Jones we going to talk about all of this after this show I’m going see this dude I’m going to talk to him about Mike McCarthy and the pressure on him I don’t know what yeah we going to talk about it I’m meet with J right
After we must have made a point we must have got him we must have Adam schfer says Mike Tomlin might just take the Sha Payton route next year the final year of his Steelers contract and maybe do television for a year while he decides what he wants to do
With the rest of his coaching career Steelers are 10-point Underdog Sunday at Buffalo Richard your reaction to all of this I feel him um you you you coach your butt off every year just to get your team in the playoffs you have no franchise quarterback to be seen and
None on the on the horizon uh this defense has been been really good but their age TJ watt is out for this playoff game um there isn’t a lot of light at the end of the tunnel you just fired your offensive coordinator mid-season there there’s just so much to
Deal with consistently and Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season but I would imagine he has to go over and Beyond to get the most out of some of these players he had the the the whole deal with George pickings throughout the year you know his frustration growing
With the lack of targets uh had to deal with Kenny picket and then trabitz and now Mason Rudolph uh It’s just tough to not have a franchise quarterback as long as he hasn’t had one and still be winning these games maybe he needs a mental break coaching is a long grind
He’s been doing it 17 years straight maybe he needs a break yeah Michael I I find it hard to believe I find it hard to believe I I spoke with Coach Tumblin you know of course they called me earlier uh before the season and and
When I talk with him you know what he was talking about he said Michael I got another opportunity to go and raise up some young men and bring the best out of them he said I I I love it I can’t wait to go do it I want to run towards it and
He he talks about running towards the issue I was dealing with an issue he’s talking about running towards an issue not away from an issue and that’s why it shocks me to hear him say he’s he he’s thinking about walking away and I know we’ve talked about things that have been
Said about the Patriot I mean uh the Steeler way and Ben rothberger saying is no longer what what the reality in Pittsburgh the Steelers weigh and all of that and I don’t know how much all of that is Weighing on him the situation he’s in with the quarterback is because
Of the of of the the honor they gave to being rothenburger and kept him around longer than they should have kept him around so it amazes me when guys like that come back at him when you are because of your situation that’s why we’re in this situation Hey listen Mike
Tomlin anybody you get Mike Tomlin you got a great coach I don’t understand maybe this is what they are doing now to get the power that they need they’ll take Des Shawn Peyton route I don’t imagine they don’t listen to him in Pittsburgh they he he he’s he’s he’s
Everything in Pittsburgh and I know they listen to him so I I’m shocked to see this I’m shocked to hear anything about Mike Tomlin walking away because all he talks about is running towards issues never running from them okay ow me to say I wish kesan were
Here today because about three weeks ago on this show I made the case that watch Mike Tomlin figure a way to coach this Pittsburgh team into the playoffs and kesan scoffed at me and said there’s no way they’re going to make the playoffs not with that quarterback nightmare they
Have and guess what they’re they’re in the playoffs somehow even as Richard points out without TJ watt now they’re in the playoffs going to Buffalo 10-point dogs and this is Coach of the Year kind of stuff that we saw once again from Mike Tomlin and you guys i’
I’ve said this many times sitting in this chair on the show for seven years if I could play the game you guys played at the highest level and I could choose my coach I’d want to play for Mike Tomlin yeah because there’s no better human coaching than Mike Tomlin and I
Don’t know if I’ve ever seen a coach in this this is as Richard points out this is 17 years of no losing Records in Pittsburgh but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a coach more consistently get young men ready to play football than Mike Tomlin does Sunday after Sunday after Monday after Thursday
After Sunday after Sunday they are always ready to play sometimes a little readier than others but still ready to play you you’re going to get pretty much their best shot whatever they got to give you they’re going to give you right and again he had to navigate Antonio
Brown and now it’s Pickins and now it’s the quarterback Nightmare and it’s one thing after Mason Rudolph who’s not bad but he’s obviously not great but but you you navigated you figured it out you kept that team together I I don’t know how he does it he is alltime great to me
The the way and and again nobody ever talks about him as an ex as an old guy even though he came from the defensive side of the ball nobody ever says oh it’s a Mike Dalin defense he he he’s a leader of men to me he’s a maker of men
He he’s a motivator at the highest level a unifier an igniter I I’ve just I Michael speak to it i’ I’ve never seen like this man yeah and and I love him too I I really do I you you being when you’re around him think about this Pittsburgh they draft players they
Develop players they develop players and and and they turn them into something and they and and and it’s all about them coming in and understanding what they got to do how hard they have to work you know even now they got naig Harris and and and Warren that’s a pretty good
Formal Run game that they put together and and and and I guarantee you guys this now I will take this bet uh skip I guarantee you’re not beating mik you’re not beating him by 10 points no I age guarantee will take this one this one I
Will take even without TJ watt it’s way too many points for Buffalo because Buffalo now okay you you can run with your quarterback even though TJ Watts out they still have some Hunters coming and they’re getting back people when I when I talked to Alfredo this week I
Said man tell TJ tell TJ I’m worried about him tell him I’m I’m praying for him I mean and and he said he sent me a message back talked about far Fair 88 over there he’s making plays now so if you think they can’t muster up some
Offense and you slip around Buffalo will lose this game I guarantee you it won’t be a 10-point game okay they they have played much much much better offensively under Mason Rudolph they they they two games they’ve scored over 30 points um they went to Seattle they scored over 30
Points they’ve moved the ball down the field they got it to their Playmakers some of the biggest plays all season have happened in the last three weeks with Mason Rudolph at the helm so there is there is reason for optimism for the Pittsburgh Steelers now on the other
Side the Buffalo Bills Josh Allen has at times played like an MVP candidate and at times even down this stretch kind of disappeared disappeared in totality you know he didn’t he didn’t do a ton even against the Dallas Cowboys we talked about that game they ran the ball
Tremendously but he only had seven completions on the game so they’ve shown they can win it that way but you talk about Alex Smith you talk about cam Hayward still getting it done um Joey Porter Jr is making big plays the veteran Patrick Peterson in in the
Second in that Defensive Rookie of the Year right Joy Porter Jr should be in that defensive Roy he he’s playing very well so no question no question he’s he’s played really well down the stretch they trusted him against team’s number one receivers uh throughout this season
When when since he’s been a starter so I I think it’s definitely going to be closer than 10 points no question yeah so we’ve watched Buffalo sputter and Teeter even against Miami the other night Sunday night they look great they don’t look great he turns it over he makes
Plays they are getable and and you say Well they’re going home and it’s going to be snowing and it’s going to be freezing you think Pittsburgh cares about that we’re not talking about the Dolphins here we’re talking about the Steelers steelt town right so this is going to be the most physical game
Buffalo’s had year Long Bar None Bar None because they’re not coming in saying we’re throwing the ball they fully understand we are running this football and playing defense so Buffalo you you got to bring everybody up in that line of scrimmage because they’re and when you do that
Then they’re going to give pigin an opportunity to make a play so so this is going to be a good game people people haven’t really watched George Pickins a lot because you don’t see Pittsburgh a lot but they found ways to get him the the ball now and if you give him eight
Nine targets a game some great things are going to happen and again to to Skip’s Point Buffalo isn’t you know they’re kind of a flimsy two seed you know they’re not the two seed where you’re like hey they’ve been dominant they’ve won they’ve won F five straight
So you give them credit for that but it hasn’t been a dominant team where you’re like oh they they definitely should beat Pittsburgh and win this game going away I can see a scenario where Pittsburgh makes this a muddy grimy game and they come out of it with a win so can either
Of you make a case for Pittsburgh going up there and stealing one from Buffalo yes yes I can yes I can they run the ball really well um they Nai Harris has a good game Warren has a good game uh Mason Rudolph doesn’t turn the ball over
He’s efficient with it they hit the quick game like they have been defensively Alex heith and the boys on that D line put a lot of pressure on Josh Allen and things can get really weird yeah how about you on the back and you getting ma back so you start saying
Oh that’s a that’s a that’s a ball that’s a ball hwk back there and a turnover guy so now you get on the back end even though you lose TJ wat on the front end you’re picking that’s what afredo said to me two days ago he said
Man we’re Pi up guys on the back end Alfredo Roberts the tight end Coach he said for Pittsburgh we’re picking up the guys on the back end we’re telling them let’s go as a group on the front end cuz that’s the only way you can make up for
A TJ watt as a group there’s no one that can make up for for him but getting guys back on the back end w w with with this with this guy that can give that ball up to those guys on the backend with the with the young Joy Porter Jr playing a
Stefon dig I can’t wait to see that match up play the step you they have an opportunity to make this a grimy game and and catch Buffalo you know time of possession wise keep him on the sideline keep that Superman on the the sideline time of possession wise and and come out
Of a grimy game with a 1714 win you they they can absolutely do that all right so Michael before we hit the break here you said Jerry Jones had called you did you get to take the call in the break do we know what this is
About well well I I’m yeah I was going to meet with them and I got to go back over there to meet with him I actually uh I actually hit the phone when they kicked away and told I said I’m on the air I’ll call you right back right after
The show you know what I mean let them know so so yeah yeah yeah you don’t think he taking issue with he wouldn’t take an issue with what somebody said on the show right well I’ll find out and let you but I I a got no problem with it
And we’ll talk about it and and if it is something I’ll let you guys know I hope he’s saying doc G you right we got to put pressure on them boys to get this thing done we like that old pressure we like that old pressure and Michael you
Will be here in studio with Kean tomorrow right right I’m coming in studio all right done deal all right in a moment we got to get back to the NBA because here’s the question bear with me on this one can Draymond still be Draymond without being
Draymond we’ll make sense of that in a moment no mercy no mercy no mercy Steve cerr made a fascinating point yesterday that raises a much deeper question can Draymond still be Draymond without being Draymond meaning can he still be as impactful as a basketball player without all the Antics the
Clashing with the refs the cheap shots the dirty plays Steve KR said and I quote what makes Draymond great is his bravado his emotion I don’t expect Draymond to all of a sudden behave like Steph Curry or Tim Duncan I want him to behave like himself
But there needs to be some humility in the wake of everything that’s happened that goes along with that bravado we still need that bravado we still need that emotion we need the humility that comes when you know you’re wrong when you’ve made serious mistakes when you
Put your team at Peril that balance is the key to all of this and dra knows that okay so with me now are Richard Sherman and Michael Irvin who played with extreme emotion so let me get their sort of psychoanalysis if you will of all this Michael can can Draymond still
Be as valuable still be Draymond if he’s now constantly aware of trying to tone it down and dial it back it’s it it is very very interesting and you guys know I’ve said here many times that sometimes when you take certain things away from a player you lose that player all together
You know when you don’t allow him to be who he is you can lose him I’ve used guys like shaki and things like that as examples now I found this to be interesting here with this what Steve Curry is saying is not just we need you to come back and be a
Certain way we need you to understand what was going on prior to you know and understand how that affected us before and to make sure that you come back with that understanding and to make things right that’s one thing because I thought at the beginning of it all when
Draymond came out he said I almost the first thing he let us know was that the commissioner had to talk him out of retiring I thought that was interesting because that’s still defying the situation it’s still Defiance that’s showing Defiance I’m not going to change I’ll just retire I quit I’m done you
Know and and he said the commiss had to talk him out of it he said they cried they cried and I hope the crying moment was the moment that you realize okay I got to do I got to do better yes he can do this he can still play at a high and
Intense level at a high intense level let’s be real here you just can’t grab somebody around the neck and choking a wi it’s a fight I brought that up Ear I brought something up earlier when we were talking about the fouls when that quickly foul happened last night
Remember when he came across the and hit cam reddish I said to you guys if that’s Draymond Green right now what are we saying you see what I’m saying even if he didn’t intentionally do it now we’re saying oh man so what what what Steve K
Also saying is Draymond you have to make sure you make sure you’re remorseful if that happens you got to be reaching down to help pick him up to make I didn’t mean to do that to show people I didn’t mean to do that I’m trying to play the
Game the right way that’s that that’s not who I am so yeah he’s going to have to go farther this the thing that catches me though Draymond has gotten very famous here lately in his podcast and all of that stuff because everybody wants to go and hear what he has to say
After he’s performed all these Antics now is Draymond still going to have that wing and do does he get to a place where he said man I got to do something crazy to get the attention back on me like I’ve grown accustomed to it and then go
And create some situation they call that Munch housing go and create some situation so we can put more attention on him that that’s going to be worth watching but I think he absolutely can do this right here where he can he play as hard as he can without trying to do that crazy
Stuff yeah I I think think he can still be the same caliber player I think you know these Antics and and and all the the nonsense have kind of taken away from what we what we the way we see Draymond but what he’s been on the basketball court has been a really high
IQ basketball player a guy who hustles plays great defense um always in the right position sets his teammates up for a tremendous amount of of success um does a great job sacrificing whether it’s screens um helping on defense there’s leadership aspects of that so I think this is the these these Antics
Have kind of taken away from that to a degree because you forget about that you forget that man he’s just been an allaround good defensive basketball player a good point forward at times for this team a great done a great job as part of this big run setting Steph Curry
And Klay Thompson up for a lot of these wide open shots that they take um running their offense at a high level so do I think he can to be the same caliber player yes do I think he’s going to be the enforcer that he’s been for them in
The past no he can’t be because he’ll mess around and get suspended for the remainder of the season so I think he’s going to have to put a governor on that to some degree but in terms of him being a high IQ basketball player and still
Making an impact in that way I think he’ll be fine so Richard how hard was it for you to learn to play on the edge without going over the edge uh I mean I don’t know if I ever learned that skip I’m not sure 100%
Learn that but what what I did learn is humility and I you you you learn that and that’s what Chris rishard kind of uh chiseled into my skull through during our time in Seattle and it’s not it it it’s it’s the way he explained it and
The way he kept trying to explain it was it’s not thinking less of yourself because when you think of humility you think oh man I got to push myself down I got to suppress myself to elevate others but his his point was it’s not thinking less of yourself it’s thinking of
Yourself less so you think of your teammates more you think of the situation more you think of the team more before you think hey I need to do this to to elevate myself instead you say do I make this decision how does it affect everybody else not just how it
Affects me and that really kind of got through to me and that changed the way I looked at a lot of things and and and changed the way how I responded to a lot of things and that’s what Steve C is saying about Draymond the the ultimate
Word the essence of this is his humility so Michael respond I I I I I like what Sher just said you know I think that I think that’s interesting and and very interesting and and Sherman I go talk about that some more later because really the thing is though here when
Draymond you got understand guys that plays emotionally like this and and and that’s why I always love Jimmy Jimmy would say do what you need to do to get ready to play yeah you know you talked about him being the enforcer know I I took i i i Draymond I
Never took him as a Charles Oakley type of for he’s not you see what I’m saying like like the kind of dude you don’t even want to get in or scrape with him let’s just play ball let’s just play ball you I don’t take Draymond as that
Kind of enforcer I I take him I take him more like a uh Dennis robman enforcer dude that’s going to enforce he’s going to work hard on the board he’s going to do everything he’s going to he he’s going to play hard all the time and give
You some opportunities and and and and the flaring and the hitting that those are antics that I want him to remove I never saw him even though he punched Jordan I never saw him as man that’s an enforcer dude even if he picked up that
Role you know what I mean I they do need to find somebody else have that role he just needs to be the hustle guy the guy that does all the dirty work but not doing dirty things while he’s doing the Dirty Work yeah he had to take on an
Enforce a role when he’s a tough guy but he’s a not a natural born enforcer tough guy like you he’s not an oakle type he’s not the type that is going to scare people and back people down because his basketball IQ was so high that he was
Always picking on people he knew he could get away with picking on and yet the Antics got worse and worse now you can go on the internet and look at these these tapes these parades of all the cheap shots the dirty plays the Antics plays and you start to wonder as I
Always did about Draymond he is such a good basketball player he overcame so much as a second round pick to become a defensive player of the year and as Richard pointed out he is the engine of this team because the offense a an all-time great offense goes through him
He’s a pick artist he’s he he he made Steph much better than Steph even was with all of his pick plays and setting Steph up for his shots well that’s beautiful basketball to me and I kept thinking why does Draymond have to resort to this well I think part of him
Thought he needed to resort to it because they didn’t have a physical presence on this team it was a finesse shooting basketball team and also to Michael’s Point once he started getting away with some of this these antics and then there’s the podcast then all of a sudden he’s saying I’m making myself
Famous here so I need to live up to my my role here as the Antics guy the the the enforcer type and and all of a sudden it’s going completely over the edge because he’s got to top himself can you top this can you top this until he’s
Doing whirling Karate kicks you know like in the corner and I’m saying you you’ve lost it man and that’s why he just took his little sabatical to try to calm back down and yeah I I do believe there’s going to be some of this going on you don’t want to take his emotion
Away because to your Jeremy Shocky Point Michael if you if you take all the Draymond out of Draymond he won’t be as nearly as good a player he needs to play with emotion without going over the edge right he he needs to be who he is but here here’s his interesting things too
Though interesting points because we’re talking about the greatest shooter in the history of the game we are and another guy that’s not far off from even though he’s you know he’s at up and down year this year he’s starting to play better now in clay but but but this is
How Draymond gets his Draymond get his name thrown and everything we talk about Dre Mar more than we talk about those guys more than we talk this is Head Wine this is as addictive as anything else when you hear your name over and over and over again and it’s put in this kind
Of form for man so now you go and create more of this so you can get more of your name out there so yeah this is going that’s why I say in order to get rid of it he has to go overboard the other way still play hard still be forceful but
Now now if you’re bumping into somebody and somebody Falls when we get all that old crazy flaring that he used to do we you got to see the other side of it all right now you got to start helping people up just to say that’s not what I’m doing that wasn’t intentional I’m
Trying to play the game the right way you have to go and that’s the humility I think coach is talking about you have to go overboard to get back on board yeah Richard you get the last word yeah yeah I I agree I think I think he’s going to
Have to go overboard and things like that I think he’s going to have to go overboard and not arguing with referees and picking up those technical fouls because those technicals are are going to be a lot quicker off on the draw because of his reputation because of the
Things that he’s done so he’s not going to get any leeway when having these conversations so he’s going to have to control his emotions talk calmly he’s going to have to be a better teammate a better better player and a better approach to the game so I I agree with
Everything IR just said all right back to the NFL up next back to the Dallas Cowboys Young Money joins me as we debate Cowboys and Super Bowl and yes they do belong in the same sentence here we Go it’s in touch down Prescott on fire is rolling here we go lamb again how B them Cowboys how about them Cowboys woo it is time once again for Young Money featuring two little Wayne protege’s buddies of mine yell beey from Dallas Alan Cuba is from Wayne’s
Hometown of New Orleans so Allan uh sorry about your Saints Kean Saints over and done so we got to talk Cowboys again I need to know from you first how much did the Cowboys look like a threat to win the NFC and that that was in Washington obviously and now will they
Start off by beating Green Bay Sunday or are you about to pick the Packers that’s correct you know I feel like everything is perfectly set up for them to do it you know Redemption is at their fingertips they got a chance to to knock off Green Bay then later on the Run
Potentially knock off the 49ers two of the teams who who have priorly eliminated them four out of the last five times so everything’s lined up you know they got Dak planned at an MVP level they secured home field for the better part of the playoffs um they did
They’re playing at home where they haven’t where they haven’t lost everything set up but it’s just something about this Green Bay team that I feel is dangerous they coming in hot you’re talking about a Green Bay team that started off two and5 they end up getting to the playoffs I don’t care
Nothing about schedule the NFL we know how hard it is to do and um Ju Just A Dangerous team you know they was able to win their last three games of the season so they’ve been in playoff mode for the better part of the last month you know
Where they needed to win every game has been a must win um I think there’s something dangerous about this team you know they they’re playing with house money independently of whatever the result is this weekend the green base Packer season will be looked at as a um
As a success in a step in the right direction so I think D’s played at a high level so it’s Jordan love he’s number two in the NFL in passing touchdowns um I think all the pressure is totally on Dallas you got McCarthy going into Lambo where he’s won the
Super Bowl going against his successor all the pressure seems to be going that way everything has broken their way the Eagles collapsed everything and I just think that everything’s set up for Green Bay to go in there and just shock the NFL in the typical Cowboy fashion you
Know um didn’t go down again and Jerry Jones so are you predicting that Allan you’re you’re predicting a Green Bay win yeah I’m predicting the Green Bay win I think Jordan L is going to go in there play with house money I think he’s going
To be high I think it don’t I think the added pressure you know you got Jerry Jones I think he was asked about was it Clarence h or the fourward star he was directly asked about McCarthy’s future and what did Jerry say we gonna see how
How each game goes I mean you got a guy just won the division got home field if this ain’t the time to endorse him and double down fully when was it you know it wouldn’t be the same without some added pressure some controversy in typical Cowboy fashion you got to spice
Things up um I think it looked like I can understand why they are the favorite but better knes don’t win football games you got to go on the field and get it and I’m predicting Green Bay to come in there with house money with nothing to
Lose and give Dallas all they can handle that’s so wrong get him yell uh man I feel like we look very good you know the game started out I felt like I was like oh I hope it don’t be one of those G you know with the the
BL field goal and pun and then the tip tip in session but when we got all those hiccups out the way we put the gas down and just kept going I just feel like said I feel like it just set up like real good like and like you said um San
Francisco and and and Green Bay put us out before you know what I’m saying we had we haded with the you know de and de did catch the ball We Gonna Keep On preaching and saying that he caught the ball so I feel like now the vengance is
Ours now you know we at home we’ve been playing well at home and I feel like we gonna get our get back you know like we we still ain’t over that that that dead thing we still not over this San Francisco so but I know we gonna have to
Go to San Francisco and play but feel like at home we’ve been playing like that so I feel like we’ll give it to uh Green Bay then if out of what is that Rams or Detroit Rams or Detroit make it worse for Detroit if they come home because they want to try
To act like the rest cheat the last time so I feel like I feel like like next two H we’ll have fun and just like mash the gas on you know I just feel like we’ll just Mash gas on everybody at the house
And I feel like we set up we set up for the best opportunities right now like we can’t let this up everybody healthy everybody playing on one Accord you know I just like everybody just like it’s like things just aligning like the correct way yeah and by the way y will
You be there with Lil Wayne at J be okay I’m be there I I right game right to theame he said you already know yeah thank you yeah I think from a tactical standpoint um when when Dak has struggled it’s been a lot of times against cover four and cover six which
Is just happen to be the the defense that Joe Barry likes to play the most so I think if they can to put a roof on that offense and kind of stop those big plays against C you know throwing at us cover six the big play you stopped the big
Plays and I think that as well as he may play he’ll eventually give you a turnover he’ll do something he’ll he’ll I don’t feel like the defense been playing good enough St hit him with we can go gonna be locked in you know I think that’s gonna be a big match up
He’s gonna be locked on CD these Packers receivers these young receivers are lethal too you know um you you play them manto man they’re very good okay I can guarantee we come at some different we gonna come with a lot of preure I promise you that m is not having we come
With preure thisy I got to wrap this up but real quick you and I have never bet a dinner I I will take Dallas for a dinner against Green Bay You’ got Green Bay does that work done deal thank you got thank you do it I will be eating on
Sund night thank you very much way to go guys we’ll check in next week and talk about Dallas’s next playoff Victory after that but coming up next here on Undisputed is this the year that Dan Quinn leaves Dallas for a head coaching job we’ll debate next here we go again with Cowboys
Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn who reportedly will interview for the head coach coaching jobs in Washington Carolina with the Los Angeles Chargers this will be the third straight year Dan Quinn has been a hot head coaching candidate but the last two years somehow Jerry Jones convinced Quinn to stay in
Dallas Richard Dan was obviously your coordinator in Seattle do you figure he’ll leave for a head coaching job this time no question he’ll you know that would be the right I think the Chargers would be the one job he would leave for um unless you know something happens in
These play off and they fire McCarthy and they just Elevate him within I think the the the Chargers job will be the best fit for him they got a lot of Talent on defense they got a good quarterback and I’m sure he’d find a good coordinator yeah and that’s what
Defensive coordinators are going to find themselves up against like a Dan Queen you have to go to a place where they’ve already have the quarterback established and the offensive system established already and then you can come in and add your expertise if if they need a quarterback or don’t have the offense
Established and they’re going to look for one of those young gurus Dan Quinn knows his best opportunity is in Dallas if this thing doesn’t work out okay so Michael can you explain to me because I never could figure out how Jerry kept him the last two years maybe paid him
Right yeah he paid him and told him boy that starting the side of your head when you do good things a lot of great things will happen D understand that’s it for Undisputed we are back tomorrow at 9:30 Eastern and I can’t wait

First
if you're a vaxxed idiot yes, Aaron is a distraction. now keep talking about nothing but big freaks running after a ball.
Skip doesn't want to admit his cowboys will have a tough task against the packers. Never count them out man they're in the playoffs for a reason
DEZ caught it!!!!
Them irrelevant question fraud skip cause mccarthy is not going any were 😂
50:52 A lot of people stand against vaccines. I haven't taken any and never will. Started out 2 shots now its like 6. Nobody knows the effects of it. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean he is crazy. Have you done any research like he has. There is a ton of conspiracy out there, and sheep are going to believe what the media was told to say.
Then, to talk about his career. How many games Payton play bad in the playoffs. How many games Lamar Jackson played bad in the playoffs. He been to the playoffs way more then dallas has in the last 30 years
Skip said he covered the Cowboys and remembered the 7 Super Bowls they played in. There were EIGHT Super Bowls. Lost two in the Seventies to Pittsburgh. One to the Colts. Three wins in the nineties.( Buffalo twice/ Pittsburgh once)Two in the 70's.( Denver& Miami) I guess his memory is bad.
Skip loving on Wayne’s Dark 🥩 5 seconds into show
Skips such a lifelong die hard cowboys fan when Tom Brady beat the cowboys week 1 21 he was wearing a Brady jersey
Skips such a cowboys lover… Jimmy hates him… Emmitt doesn’t like him… Troy despises him and he never goes back to Dallas he is nick named the human hemmroid in dallas
Thks for the video
Michael how did magic lead for the lakers with queen James 😂
Trash takes all over the place
If they believe coaching the most stressful job they need to comeback to reality😂😂😂
