1 hr 56 min - Bitches Love Game Officials: Dak Prescott Chose Violence (Over Accountability), Micah Parsons Leads by Example, Troy Aikman Questions Why CeeDee Isn't Getting the Ball [S1E27]
RECORDED THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2022 | Timestamps below
ATTN: In this episode, Bitch 1 refers to the Cowboys' OC as "Neville." This was not a mistake. We sometimes joke that Kellen Moore looks like Neville Longbottom from Harry Pottery. We do know his correct name.
We talk to football official Jenifer Calhoun to find out how disconnected from reality fans really are when it comes to their perception of officials and why it's dangerous for star quarterbacks, like Dak Prescott, to support and encourage violence against game officials.
We also discuss the Cowboys' need for discipline and accountability, why Micah Parsons sets the best example on the team, and why they won't "give CeeDee the f*cking ball" (which Troy Aikman agrees needs to happen). Then, Bitch 1 lets us know what she thinks after her first season following American football.
