You know, you live the playing these kind of games.

You dream about these kind of games, so you don't want to make it bigger than it is, but you know, it's just not, it's just, you know, the reality is it's not just another game.

What was the feeling leaving that locker in my chamber again, so it's gone?

No, I mean it's obvious. I mean, we're so far past that to be honest with you, but that's obvious.

I mean, you just want to piss me off going in this week and I appreciate that. I do actually, I do.

I really didn't know that DAC was that sensitive.

I mean, it was just a week and a half ago that DAC was blaming all of us in the media who propped up the Cowboys for his team losing to the Cardinals because we crowned them to borrow a line from the late Dennis Green.

We crowned them and they took the crown and they believed that they were the Kings and they stepped on a rake in Arizona.

So now he's a little salty because somebody mentioned a historical fact, reminded me of the time that I dared to ask Jim Harbaugh about the AFC Championship game when he was with the Colts and they almost beat the Steelers because I had a real question attached to it.

I wasn't just being an ass, unlike usual, and he said, thanks for bringing that up.

So I like the fire. I like when we see something other than the cookie cutter, steppered patriot, programmed responses.

I like to see a little insight into the human because they want us to think they're not, but they are. They're just like us other than the fact that they have supernatural physical abilities and a level of courage that allows them to go out there and have their bodies bashed around, but they're still human.

And that's a reflection of humanity. They get a little pissy at times. So I kind of like that is someone who gets a little pissy at times. I like that, Miles, and good morning.

At times, that's what you use that. You know, we got at times for a little pissy and then ask sometimes like, man, we are, you know, we're downplaying a couple of things there, but yeah, good morning, Mike.

Yeah, good morning. Thank you for that. Thanks. Thanks for bringing that up. So we play that sound at the outset, though, because there's a big game this weekend, a consequential game, potentially monumental as it relates to the final seating and some folks get a little pissy about my reference to that possibility in this week's power rankings.

Of course, they get pissy about a lot of things in the power rankings because every fan of every team wants their team to be higher than they are. They forget there are 32 teams and somebody has to be 32 and somebody has to occupy every other spot between 31 and number one.

But the idea that this game Sunday night football, this isn't just hype. I mean, they're going to pay us either way. This isn't, you know, sing for your supper. This is reality.

Cowboys at the 49ers, the two best teams in the NFC playing one time this year with a very good chance that they'll meet again. They have each of the last two years in the postseason and the outcome of this game goes a long way toward determining where that game will be, which could be a huge difference.

One of the things Jason Garrett, former Cowboys coach says Cowboys speed on defense, a lot more effective on artificial turf than on the grass at Levi's stadium and home field advantage, very real in San Francisco.

The faithful are vocal and it's a hell of an intimidating environment. You'd much rather them come to you and who loses this game miles one last point and I'll shut up who loses this game.

Becomes in danger of not winning their division because all the Seahawks look pretty freaking good in the NFC West and the Eagles are still the Eagles in the NFC East.

So it's not just the tiebreaker. They may not be a tie to break. Both teams have to win the division for there to be a tie to break.
