  • Even though we may have been wrong, You feel like a fool.

  • I feel ecstatic.

  • E feel wonderful.

  • I mean, did you see how they collapsed?

  • I mean, on Thanksgiving, they stunk up the joint.

  • I thought that their holidays We're gonna actually be good for cowboy fans.

  • Can't be good after the after yesterday.

  • What transpired yesterday afternoon.

  • This is a very, very beautiful day.

  • Cowboy fans everywhere.

  • I can't find anybody.

  • Now I will give credit to my buddy to play making himself Michael Irvin.

  • That Hall of Famer with the yellow jacket.

  • Obviously three Super Bowl titles now.

  • He did ultimately come out of hiding.

  • It took him about 12 hours greeny, but he came out of hiding toe, actually.

  • Speak to me just literally a few minutes ago and try to make the excuse that you know what?

  • It all coalesced with one another.

  • It's come together just like this is an awful year for the world.

  • You know what?

  • It's right in line with the Cowboys just trying to find a way to soften the blow off their ineptitude.

  • But there's no pulling this off.

  • Fake punts, interceptions, fumbles by Ezekiel Elliott.

  • No matter which way you turn Antonio Gibson looking like the second coming of Barry Sanders or Walter Pan or Jim Brown.

  • Whatever works, whatever name you want to come up with.

  • This is what happened to the Cowboys on thanks, giving.

  • I've got to tell you something right now.

  • Greedy for those cowboy fans out there.

  • I don't blame them for hiding.

  • I don't blame them for trying to sit up there and disguise their identities.

  • I mean, listen is awful as they look yesterday.

  • They deserve it for me.

  • Personally.

  • I understand you feel like a fool.

  • I feel absolutely wonderful.

  • This is a beautiful post Thanksgiving moment.

  • As far as I'm concerned.

  • I absolutely love Thanksgiving yesterday.

  • Two of the best Thanksgiving I've had quite some time now, in fact, last two years.

  • Considering how the Dallas Cowboys stunk up the joint against the Buffalo Bills last year.

  • Then they come and they lose this time around.

  • My last couple of things give us have been quite wonderful, I might say, Let's talk about the fake punt.

  • We've spent a lot of time on it here.

  • What did you think of the play?

  • What does it say about the coach's confidence in his team.

  • Just what were your thoughts on that play?

  • Honestly speaking in all seriousness greening, I think Mike McCarthy has lost confidence in himself.

  • I think that the year away from football has heard him.

  • He doesn't look better.

  • He looks worse.

  • Obviously, he had Aaron Rodgers is this quarterback all of those years?

  • But there's something to be said that when you have somebody that great that lethal and you still end up losing your job when you're supposed to be an offensive mind and your captain, your orchestrated is Aaron Rodgers, and you can't find a way to get it done.

  • Even though they didn't win the Super Bowl in 2000 and 10, the bottom line is, you know what?

  • In the end, Aaron Rodgers thought you were a bit archaic, and for some reason, Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones decides to bring this man on board.

  • In no way am I trying to imply that Mike McCarthy doesn't deserve to be a head coach in the National Football League.

  • But he's clearly not the right guy for the Dallas Cowboys because things apparently have to be ideal in order for him to resemble a head coach in the National Football League.

  • Incapable head coach.

  • That was not a good call by any stretch of the imagination.

  • And what was most embarrassing is how he tried to explain it in the aftermath of the postgame conference when he talked about You gotta believe you can't you know there's no chance of a place succeeding if you don't even tried.

  • If you don't believe in it, I'm paraphrasing it, but that's essentially what he said.

  • And so he has this kind of mentality.

  • I understand that Dak Prescott is out.

  • I totally get that.

  • They've been, you know, a slew of injuries on your offensive line, all of those things legit.

  • But when you got Ezekiel Elliott and you got CD lamb and you got Michael Gallup and you gotta Mari Cooper okay, you should be able to figure out a way not to lose to a team that has a quarterback that essentially was out for the previous two years.

  • Okay, and you don't have much to speak of on the offensive side of the ball, and still you get shellacked the way that they did.

  • It's no excuse for it.

  • It was a bad call.

  • But ultimately it was a bad game period.

  • No question.

  • Now listen right before and that little highlight that I showed right before I brought you on.

  • We saw Jerry Jones sitting in his box, and Ed Werder made the point earlier that in all other seasons you would hear from Jerry Jones after all of these games.

  • But this year, because of the circumstances, the reporters aren't able to go be around him.

  • So we could only wonder, What do you think?

  • Because I know you follow him closely and you know him.

  • What do you think is going through his mind as he watches this?

  • I think that Jerry Jones is a prideful man.

  • Um, that doesn't want to admit prematurely, to say the least, that he made the wrong decision at head coach.

  • Somebody that's younger, somebody that has the ability to ingratiate themselves with players a little bit better may have been the right man for this job again.

  • That's not casting any aspersions on on Mike McCarthy.

  • In terms of his resume, he is a Super Bowl champion.

  • He's been the numerous NFC championship games and I think that the man should be a head coach in the National Football League, but not the Dallas Cowboys.

  • When you consider the star America's team all the ambiance that comes associated the microscope, that they are under how Jerry Jones is your president and your GM and everything in between, you've got all of this stuff going on.

  • That's not the kind of environment that a guy like Mike McCarthy, in my opinion can handle.

  • He wants to go about the business of just coaching a football team, but it takes a little extra to coach the Dallas Cowboys, and it takes a little extra to ingratiate yourself with guys who know you're not really the man.

  • The owner, Jerry Jones, is the man, and his son, Steven Jones, is the man.

  • It's not the head coach.

  • You, at the very least, fall third in line in the eyes of the players.

  • And when they know that, it's just a different relationship that they ultimately end up having with a coach.

  • And it's really unfortunate that Mike McCarthy is in this situation because again we've seen other coaches get let go prematurely.

  • You brought up Jim Caldwell a bit earlier in the show in Detroit how they made an egregious decision by letting him go.

  • We saw, you know, we saw other programs.

  • You saw the Arizona Cardinals basically say, with Wilkes, you're out of here after one year.

  • And even though I didn't like that decision at the end of the day with Kingsbury, along with Colin Murray is your quarterback.

  • They seem to be moving in a forward direction.

  • You cannot stick with the decision that so flagrantly wrong as this one.

  • And I think that Jerry Jones recognizes that is just that he's gonna be incredibly hesitant to do anything about it, probably because of Covert 19, along with the fact that he doesn't want to admit so early and prematurely that he may have been wrong.

  • That's not his way, but the Dallas Cowboys will sink because of it.

  • It's unfortunate for them because I don't wish that on him.

  • I don't wish that on the Cowboys, the Dallas Cowboy fans.

  • I couldn't be happier for their miserable thank you for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

Even though we may have been wrong, You feel like a fool.
