  • Cupcake interviews and fake laughs

    Coach Schotty needs to move to LA and be a comic. Every single thing he says they fake laugh at, it’s wild. Even after losses. They just guffaw at his jokes and talk about who is his favourite. Feels very amateur local radio. Like listen to their next schotty Interview. I’m not crazy. It’s absolutely wild. Come on boys, do your job.

  • Best sports show in DFW

    I listen to this show every single day while at work can’t say that abt any other show. I like especially when they talk evenly abt multiple sports not just cowboys I really don’t care abt how the cowboys practice went and I don’t think anyone else does either lol but I think they do a pretty good job talking abt the 4 major sports teams especially my favorites.

  • For the fans!

    Best coverage for the Dallas Cowboys! I’ve been a Cowboy fan for over 50 years…being born in Texas, but from the Pacific Islands. You guys aren’t afraid to call out Jerry for falling short, since not directly working for him. Listening to Spagnola all those years were frustrating!! Keep up the excellent work!

    Still sticking with the ‘Boys!

    Aloha!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 2: John Mackenzie Previews USA vs. Bosnia & Rangers Rise in Rankings
Q: Should the US win tonight against Bosnia?
Jon Mackenzie believes the US should win, sees Bosnia as a strong but not unbeatable side, and thinks the US have the quality and tactical setup to advance, with a potentially favorable matchup in the next rounds.
Soccer Insider for The Athletic, Jon Mackenzie, joins the show to talk about the World Cup and preview USA vs Bosnia
Q: What's the realistic ceiling for the US in this tournament, and what would it take to reach the semifinals?
The ceiling could be the semifinals if they navigate favorable matchups and maintain their level; it would require continued tactical clarity from the coach, depth across positions, and players stepping up in big games.
Soccer Insider for The Athletic, Jon Mackenzie, joins the show to talk about the World Cup and preview USA vs Bosnia
Q: Jon, how surprised were you by the US run so far and what makes this squad different from previous cycles?
I wasn't very surprised because the US now has a deeper pool of players and a better coach, which has translated into stronger performances and tactical flexibility that you didn't see in earlier cycles.
Is Jason Robertson Holding the Stars Hostage? NHL Draft Changes & Explaining Mavrik Bourque's Restricted Free Agency | 'Spits & Suds'
Q: Stars fans shouldn't think Jason Robertson is holding them hostage or should they?
Sean explains Robertson is seeking the market rate for a top winger and that while fans may feel frustrated, the bigger issue is the Stars' ability to structure a fair deal and manage cap space; the decision should focus on staying competitive rather than assigning blame to the player.

Q: What are the potential trade ideas for Jason Robertson that could maximize value for Dallas?
The guests outline several pathways, including a high-impact four-player package, a three-way trade to bring in pieces for now, and considering a sign-and-trade or offer sheet strategy if it fits the Stars' cap situation, all while prioritizing a return that helps immediately rather than just draft capital.
