00:00How much season does remain in fact for the Dallas Cowboys at

00:07three and six in a tailspin with their $60 million quarterback

00:12Dak Prescott, the highest paid player in the history of the

00:15NFL, more than likely on the shelf for the rest of this

00:20season. And as the Cowboys got beat bad once again, by the

00:24Philadelphia Eagles at home 34 to six on Sunday, the Cowboys

00:29now Owen for both straight up and against the number at the

00:32star this year that led to comments about the sun breaking

00:36into the stadium, Jerry Jones saying shut up about the sun,

00:40and many other comments. Not an easy day for the Dallas Cowboys

00:45on Monday to address all of that, and being blown out by

00:49nearly 30 points at home. Micah Parsons on his podcast tried to

00:53clarify his original comments about Mike McCarthy. Here are

00:57the original comments just so we know, quote, this is what

01:00Micah said. Again, quote, that's above my pay grade, whether Mike

01:04is coaching again, next year, coaching, Mike can leave and go

01:08wherever he wants. Guys I kind of feel bad for our Zack Martin

01:12and guys who might be on their last year or on their way out.

01:17So again, not the best comments to air out that laundry in

01:21public. And then Micah Parsons tried to clarify those comments

01:25Joe on his own podcast, quote, I never once threw or even

01:29intended to throw Mike McCarthy under the bus. Whether your

01:34intention was that or not, you did McCarthy met with the media

01:38on Monday and shared that he and Micah had a conversation because

01:41anytime that things that should be handled internally, in the

01:44locker room in the facility, get out to the public, you got to

01:48address it head on.

01:51There. I'm sorry, but this just goes to show you the total

01:55dysfunction of Dallas. With Bill Belichick allow some dude to

02:01have a podcast that's only played in three of the week 11

02:04games that we've already had. Now we're heading into week 11

02:08Micah Parsons, and you have something to say about a team

02:11you have not participated with here except for what three games

02:15been he's made himself available for and yet you are opening your

02:19mouth and talking about things on a podcast that should only be

02:23left in a locker room here. So this this whole new generation

02:28of the podcast, bros in the locker room now speaking and

02:32talking and trying to fill the airtime. Not great. Then it's

02:36not great. It usually leads to dysfunction. Yeah. And I can

02:40tell you power head coaches that know what they're doing would

02:43never tolerate it. But Mike McCarthy is not one of those

02:46guys.

02:47And again, he was already on the warmest seat, perhaps in the

02:50history of the NFL entering this year after another Dallas

02:54disaster in the postseason, being beat big at home in super

02:59wildcard weekend one and done again by the Green Bay Packers.

03:03Jerry Jones brought him back, but did not give him a lot of

03:06confidence by extending his contract. He is basically a lame

03:10duck head coach, he is going to be gone. It's just a matter of

03:13not if but when might have happened during the regular

03:16season. That I guess remains to be seen. We'll debate in our

03:20second hour. And Joe, to your point, this time of players in

03:25the media while still playing, listen, content's awesome,

03:28right to get the player perspective and maybe a peek

03:31behind the curtain is cool, I guess on what is actually going

03:36on. But if things are bad, this is the exact opposite of what

03:41you want. And boy, oh boy, are things bad elsewhere for Dallas

03:46Dak Prescott met with a specialist in New York. That

03:50miraculous second opinion that could save his season. We heard

03:53from the pro football doc, Dr. David Chow yesterday, it's not

03:56going to happen. So Cooper Rush will be the starter more than

03:59likely, at least for another week, as the Cowboys will be in

04:03primetime once again, Joe, in week 11. On Monday night as they

04:08host the Houston Texans in the Lone Star showdown Houston

04:11seven and a half point road favorite in Dallas.

04:15Yeah, yeah, it's, it's not going to go well. Because there's

04:20unfortunately, a ton of other issues that are standing in the

04:24way of this team, right? New defensive coordinator hasn't

04:28lived up to standards, the defense not, you know, and

04:31granted, they were they were given a lot of challenges early

04:34with the injuries to their edge rushers and everything else. But

04:38I mean, Ben, they're not even competitive in these games,

04:40whether Dak Prescott was there or not. I mean, they're getting

04:42absolutely ripped. So from the top down, this is not a well

04:48constructed football team, nor is it a very well coached

04:52football team. So changes are coming for Dallas.
