00:03 - DRS, it's now a conversation about Dallas.
00:06 We have seen the Cowboys this year be great.
00:08 We have seen the Cowboys this year not be so good.
00:11 Week number three, losing as a 12 and a half point favorite
00:14 on the road against the Arizona Cardinals.
00:16 Week number five, of course, on Sunday night,
00:19 getting hammered by the 49ers in Santa Clara, 42 to 10.
00:24 DRS, the Cowboys are a three and two football team.
00:27 The Cowboys have the third best price
00:29 to win the NFC championship at plus 550,
00:32 but the buy or sell question, DRS,
00:34 the Cowboys are not a true conference contender
00:37 in the NFC, buy or sell?
00:40 - No, I'm buying it, they're not.
00:41 And they haven't shown us anything yet.
00:43 I mean, you can beat really bad football teams
00:45 with bad quarterbacks.
00:46 And then when you show up against a team
00:48 you're supposed to beat on the road
00:49 and you're a little bit injured,
00:50 championship teams win that game.
00:52 And that was the Dallas Cowboys against the Cardinals.
00:53 And also in a measuring stick game
00:55 where the odds makers had a better thought process
00:58 than the actual Cowboys themselves,
00:59 you had three and a half point line.
01:01 That was an embarrassment.
01:02 And so were the Dallas Cowboys.
01:03 The thing I also get out of, which I get a kick out of,
01:05 I really like Michael Parsons.
01:07 I like what he says on social media.
01:08 I like his optimism all the time.
01:10 Post game press conference, yeah, you know what?
01:12 I'd like to get another crack at him
01:13 'cause I think we would beat him.
01:14 We only beat ourselves.
01:16 Deebo, Sammy, the next word he goes, watch your mouth.
01:18 We might beat you even worse next time we see you.
01:20 So maybe we're setting up something down the line,
01:22 but just looking at the Cowboys overall,
01:24 this is the MO that they've had since 1995.
01:27 Extremely talented every single year,
01:28 but something is just missing with the Dallas Cowboys.
01:31 And it feels like that way again.
01:33 As you always say, Ben,
01:34 they're going to win double digit games.
01:36 They're going to get into the playoffs.
01:37 They're going to be in another big moment
01:39 and some people are going to trust them again.
01:41 I haven't seen it in 25 years
01:43 and I'm probably not gonna see it again this year, Ben.
