00:00Mike, why don't you want to hear from Parsons anymore and the Cowboys?

00:10I think, and look, we know how the Cowboys are covered, Scotty.

00:14They are covered astronomically more than pretty much any other team in the NFL, right?

00:19I mean, we see it all day long.

00:21We know the deal.

00:22And people get on this guy, Dak, nonstop.

00:25It's always about Dak.

00:26It's all about the offense.

00:27They're asking Jerry after the game yesterday.

00:29Why didn't you get Derrick Henry?

00:30Have you watched the last couple of weeks?

00:32You think the Dallas offense is the problem here?

00:36No.

00:37They are getting destroyed defensively.

00:40I mean, absolutely.

00:41These teams are lining up and they are smashing the ball right through the Cowboy defense,

00:48including everyone's All-American, Micah Parsons.

00:50I mean, just smashing the ball through them.

00:53The Saints smashed the ball through him last week.

00:55The Ravens yesterday smashed the ball through the Cowboys.

00:59Everybody gets up so much, spends all their energy talking about Dak and about Derrick.

01:04Their defense sucks, Scotty.

01:06It's awful.

01:07The Dallas defense.

01:08It is.

01:09That's their problem.

01:10You know, all they have is the old man.

01:12The reality is the entire organization is about him, literally.

01:17He does all the talking, all the interviews, all the press conferences, all the deals.

01:22He pays Dak $60 million and he doesn't win playoff games.

01:27I get the market value, but I don't think he's worth $60 million.

01:32I know everyone else does.

01:34Everyone thinks he's the greatest quarterback since sliced bread, and I just don't buy it.

01:40He never wins big games.

01:42Big games.

01:43Like, you know, really big games, playoff games, or, you know, December, January games

01:48that matter.

01:49He wins games that don't matter, and all people care about in Dallas is, frankly, Jerry Jones.

01:55He's the whole deal.

01:56They haven't won in 30 years, and you're right.

01:58Their defense is hair dryer city, and they're not a factor right now in anything.

02:03They don't look like they can beat anyone that's really good.

02:06They're playing at the Giants on Thursday night, of course.

02:11That's the Thursday night game this week, and the Giants are coming off, and I know

02:14the Cowboys have kicked the Giants around the last couple years, but the Giants are

02:19coming off a couple decent performances, right?

02:22I mean, I don't get, that's not, I don't think that's good.

02:25You know, we saw the Cowboys, they beat them last year, 38-0 the other game.

02:29I mean, the Cowboys smashed them.

02:30I don't think you're getting that on Thursday night with the Cowboys and the Giants.

02:34Not the way that D looks.

02:37The key is what can Daniel Jones do to them, because I think, you know, Dak and that offense

02:43is going to score, and I want to see the Giants score.

02:48I want to see a high-scoring, wild, old-school Giants-Cowboys matchup.

02:53I think the Cowboys can beat the Giants, and I agree with you, they've looked better

02:59two weeks in a row.

03:00They had three touchdowns last week and lost with no kicker, and then they had three touchdowns

03:04this week and they won.

03:06And on, you know, Friday, whatever, I was on here with you saying, I'm going Giants

03:11outright.

03:12They're going to win the game in Cleveland, and they're going to get their first win.

03:16And a lot of, we'll go through all the games, but there were a lot of them that we picked

03:19correctly of upsets, and that was one of them.
