Today's cast: Dan, Stugotz, Chris, Billy, Jessica, Mike, and Roy. So, the Dallas Cowboys are a dumpster fire, huh? Should Jerry Jones still be in charge? Are the Texans good? Or are they very, very far from being great? There are SEVERAL football questions to answer today, but things come to a halt as Dan and Greg get into an argument over Greg's description of the Texans and Dan seizing on the language. Tensions bubble over as the duo gets into it over Dan saying Greg "roots" for the Dolphins. Greg is outraged. Dan is laughing. The show is off the rails. Plus, Tony is down at Versailles for some authentic Cuban food and to deliver his Tony's Top 5 including takes on Bo Nix, the Lions, and the San Francisco 49ers' window to win it all.

Chapter 1: What are the Dallas Cowboys' current issues?
Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo.

Cuervo. Chris, your father just looked me dead in the eye and threatened to write a tell-all book. And I looked at him and I'm like, well, you've written two books already and our audience has helped make them bestsellers and Stugatz's book is killing it. The audience has made all... We are single-handedly reviving the... Lest ein Buch in euren Händen, Industrie.
Man muss sich jetzt vorstellen, dass Kindle besser ist als nur Bücher, als nur alle Bücher, in Bezug auf die Publisher-Industrie versus Kindle. Kindle muss besser sein, oder?
Ich wäre sehr interessiert darüber. Ich werde es von Ihnen herausfinden. Ich werde meinen Schriftführer in meinem Publisherhaus fragen, um diese Informationen zu bekommen.
Lass uns das so machen. Wie viele Leute kennen Sie, die ein Kindle kaufen? Versus wie viele Leute kennen Sie, die ein Buch kaufen?
Hm. I know a lot of people who own books, but only because I know a lot of old people.
I've never seen a bookshelf full of Kindles, but I've seen a bookshelf full of books.

Chapter 2: Should Jerry Jones still be in charge of the Cowboys?
If you're listening to a book, you're not reading a book.
I'm not doing that show again.
You haven't read a book.
Chris, did you nail your Kindle to the wall on accident?
Can you not have multiple books in your Kindle? If you get different Kindles. I think you guys are screwing with me here. I don't know because I've never had Kindles. What's the limit for books in my Kindle that I can have?
Maybe two. I would assume that it's just the number that you can download. I want the book in my hand. I still want to do it that way. I don't like reading books on computers. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Do you like reading books on your computer? Because I can't do it. And I don't know if this is just creature of habit. You like what you like.
You're familiar with what you're familiar with. And then you get to a certain age and you don't want to change anymore. But I've tried Kindle and I don't like it. That's not how I want to read a book. And I don't know.
If this has something like taste and texture, where I'm speaking to a bunch of young people perhaps that don't know or care what it feels like to have a book in your hand, because that's not the way they do it. And so because they're not familiar with the way I do it, the Kindle is the most normal thing in the world. Right.
I like the tactile feel of actually turning a page, the sound of pages being turned and also the bookmark. You can have an official, actual bookmark. I just rip a corner off a piece of paper and that's a bookmark. You create your own bookmark. It enhances the enjoyment of reading an actual book. Du schiebst nicht eine Kante drüber?

Chapter 3: Are the Houston Texans a good team?
Wenn du fragst, was nächstes ist, sind sie ein Jahr entfernt von 12-5. Also, ob du glaubst, Jerry sollte die Macht dieser Mannschaft geben und die Macht der Entscheidungen machen und alles übersehen, er wird das nicht tun. Was ist also der Grund für diese Konversation? Sie sind ein Jahr entfernt von 12-5.
Wenn du sagst, was nächstes ist, wird Jerry die Art und Weise verändern, wie er sich für Hauptmannschaften einsetzt. Er hat es mit Mike McCarthy versucht, er hat es mit Puppets versucht. Now be the puppet. Let a guy like Belichick walk in and do what Bill Belichick does.
He didn't like that when he did it with Parcells. They finished 12-5 three straight years, but McCarthy's beginning to resemble Wanstead to me. That's fair. Wanstead was going 10-6 and 11-5 as well, but what? The thing just kept getting worse on his watch until it collapsed with a 4-12.
Ja, wenn du immer gute, regelmäßige Saisonen hast und dann nicht viel in den Playoffs machst, dann macht es fast den Schmerz noch schlimmer. Der einzige Asterisk an Mike McCarthy ist, dass sein starting quarterback für die Hälfte der Saison verloren ist, was nichts ist. Aber letzte Nacht sind sie 20-10 hinter sich. Fairly late in the game.
They have a chance to go for a field goal to make it 20-13, a one-score game, and he goes for it on like 4th and 13 or something and doesn't make it. That's a bad coaching decision. It just is. In retrospect, and even then, I'm saying, be behind by one score. Give yourself a chance. I'm shocked that Jerry Jones hasn't fired Mike McCarthy.
He told Diana Rossini that he's not doing that in season. That he won't do it in season.
That gives him everything he wants. It gives him attention. It gives him the feeling of power that he's making a bold move. I don't know what the forward path is with the status quo.
He should fire his structural engineer first, because there's pieces of metal falling off the ceiling.
A lot of people making the jokes about the roof falling in, right? Because that looked like it could have been much worse than it actually was. Just a piece of metal falling from the sky.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Texans' performance?
Für mich sind sie nicht die Top 4 in der AFC. Ich denke, sie sind eine gute Team, die sehr weit weg ist von einer guten Team, obwohl Joe Mixon... I don't think they're Baltimore, I don't think they're Kansas City.
Do they have the same record as Baltimore right now? They made it to the divisional round last year.
Yeah, it could be.
I don't think they're very far. Maybe I'm more bullish than them, but I think them with their full complement of receivers, I know Diggs is injured now too, but Nico Collins does make a difference there.
A big difference, yeah. Both teams are 7-4, Dan.
Yeah, he's really good. And Joe Mixon, to me, has been the difference in that offense. He has reinvented, he's having his best season at like age 28, which is ancient for a running back. But you're right, if they still had Stefan Diggs, they would be an awesome offense.
Alright, what's Cody doing here between good team? I want to do this because I think you're all doing it. I think everyone listening to this does it, where they're saying they do their brackets and their tiers. What is he doing where he's saying that the Houston football team is just okay, is what he's saying.
He's saying they're very, very far from being one of the best teams in the league, and I don't think they are.
I like to say they're good with a chance to be great. That's what I like to say. They're good. There's no doubt that they're good. They have a chance to be great if everyone's healthy.

Chapter 5: How does the podcast crew evaluate NFL teams?
I'm a big Texans guy, though, to put a bow on it. Will Anderson being in and out of the lineup, I think defensively they have enough pieces. I really highly rate their head coach and his ability to scheme on the defensive side of the ball. And they have offensively a ton of weapons. When they have Wenn sie nicht sind, hat CJ Stroud gezeigt, dass er sie nicht mit all seinen Waffen übernehmen kann.
Das ist wahr, aber es ist eine Saison und eine halbe gewesen, also gib ihm einen Moment.
Wir haben die Art und Weise verändert. Oh, ich meine, wir schreiben ihn nicht aus. Es ist nur so, dass CJ Stroud seine Teenager-Saison ein wenig zurückgegriffen hat. Und er hat gezeigt, dass er ohne alle seine Waffen gesund ist, ein bisschen anstrengend ist.
Es gibt keine Frage darüber. Er ist nicht die Sensation dieses Jahres, die erste Hälfte der Saison, die er letztes Jahr war. Aber ich beurteile einfach alle darüber, wie wir einige dieser Messungen auf diese Quarterbacks machen. als wir es jemals gemacht haben, sodass Anthony Richardson schon neun Spiele gespielt hat. Neun Spiele insgesamt, College, Pro, alles.
Und wir haben ihn in und aus gehackt und sehr schnell auf diese Dinge überprüft. C.J. Stroud war die Sensation der letzten Saison. Er erhöht die Erwartungen und sobald seine Leute verletzt werden, sagt Cody, dass sie sehr weit von einem guten Team sind, wenn sie das gleiche Rekord wie Baltimore haben. Like that's how it happens when we start moving around.
Oh, the quarterback's playing a little less well. Yes, you did say they're very far from being one of the top tier teams. I think you said very, very far.
Yeah, let's replay the tape on that one. I don't know about that.
Replay the Kindle. He said they're good, not great, which is not crazy. I mean, everyone can't be great.
I think they're good, not great. They're second tier to me.

Chapter 6: What impact does the AFC playoff picture have on the Texans?
I can't believe what I just saw. It was out of the corner of my eye, right? It's Billy and Stugatz, and it's a bit like guacamole. It's like, oh,
Tier Talk?
Ja! Es hat uns 20 Jahre gedauert. Was er gemacht hat, war nicht Tier Talk. Was er gemacht hat, war sehr, sehr weit von einem der besten Teams zu sein. Es gab zwei Versuche. Das ist eine andere Diskussion. Es ist eine andere Diskussion. Die Tears ist eine andere Diskussion. Ich mache das nicht mit euch.
Aber wenn ihr eine sehr, sehr, eine doppelte Situation-Diskussion machen wollt, dann habe ich diese Diskussion mit euch. Wir haben es für 10 Minuten gehabt.
I don't use double vary. You did. No. I don't think so.
I want to hear the tape. Okay, we're going to go back and when I do it, okay, we're going to punish you at the end of the show today. When we play that tape, there's going to be a punishment at the end of the show that you're going to find out that you got this wrong because it is specifically what it is that I'm objecting to.
I think you're very, very wrong.

Chapter 7: How do the Texans compare to other AFC teams?
Okay, thank you. You already have it? Wow, that was quick. They already have the sound of what it is that Greg Cody has alleged.
This is big. Everything is on the line right now, Greg.
Well, he doesn't know when it is that he uses these verbal crutches to get to his thought, because he does it quite a bit with inefficient language. And I'm watching him at all times.
That kind of thing. I think they're a good team that is very, very far from being a great team. Okay. Through technology, the second very was spliced in.
Correct. You can tell. His mouth didn't line up with that.
I reject that. You spliced in the second very.
Chris is good at that.
It's not AI. I can't believe they found it that fast. That's a miracle. What a miracle. Denkst du, dass sie es auch so schnell editieren konnten, um dich zu missrepräsentieren?
Es ist AI. Auf einer schlechten Armwoche machen sie das.

Chapter 8: What was Greg Cody punished for?
We made two plays. How did we make two plays? We don't even know how we made two plays. But we're up 14-13. Let's go. Let's get Fireman Ed up.
He still got it.
It doesn't feel right to me. I don't know the correct way to do this. to end your career, but I thought he was retiring and it doesn't feel right to me to watch him shouting into a microphone after a Jets game by himself and it doesn't seem like he's in a radio studio. I don't know if that might be in his house. It probably is in his house.
I think he does a daily podcast.
No, no, he does do a daily podcast.
He should have a better ending, you're saying?
Well, he already retired. This happened, we just saw this happen in the Yankee... The Yankee Booth in his 80s, where once you retire at a certain age, it's what Bobby Bowden said, there's only one major event where people gather after that for you.
So you stare at your retirement after a creature, a lifetime creature that talks six and a half hours a day on the radio, and then you go into retirement and it sounds awfully quiet and you have to come back to hear the sound of your own voice.
Well, he loves that.
