Speaker 1 (00:29):
Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Thursday, The Jason Smith Show. Jason
Smith Show with My bass friend Mike Harmon. Frostburg's eyes
still bleeding profusely from watching the Jets Monday night up close.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Didn't have time for stuffed even scab with Thursday night
football fresh out of tea?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
What is that the nun right where the eyes are
blacked out and the blood comes.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Downed, scab go, I'll tell you, man, Charger, Chargers, Chargers, Jets, Panthers,
bears my eyes. I mean, look, in the end we
celebrate all two hundred and seventy two, will some of
them have to be ranked towards the bottom? I mean,

Speaker 3 (01:30):
You know when your options in January dwindled to a
couple of playoff games, NBA games you don't give a
damn about, and college basketball still being two months away
from when anybody cares come and complain to me then
about how bad this football game?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You think I'm gonna watch her? Want to watch her
replay of this game.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, celebrate it. Why
we haven't, Yeah, because it will go away America, But
then it comes back, It goes away, it comes ahead.
That tw It works all My life's a circle. Well,
it's how it works.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Sunrise and sun don't be upset because your bears stink
and they become the official team of Thursday Night, right,
don't forget that.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Well, but I mean you want to be the official
something I'm still looking for. The official sandwich is this
the official coffee, the official soft drink, the official hard alcohol,
and we really.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Need that tonight. The hard alcohol, you know what, official
brand of the show. They're still looking for all of that.
This is like the fifth time this year the Bears
have played on a Thursday Night. Like the Jaguars are
the official team of London, the Bears are the official
team of Thursday Night. That's all right. When I like
to watch bad football, I turn on Amazon on Thursday
night and watch the Bears.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Well, I mean next week it's the Bears Bangles and
Raven Bear scrimmage?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
What next next Thursday is? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Eberflus still gonna be coaching and giving us great quips.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Are they gonna flex the Ravens out and the best
team in the AFC so we can get the Bears again? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
But what's the best laugh we had we were interviewing
Eberflus coming back to the field for the second half.
What was the graphic? Oh yeah, I don't think you've
laughed that hard now, Jewet, I mean Amazon really just
trolling Matt Eberflus. At this point, before the second half begins,
Eberflus does his interview before the bars on the field
and if font said the funt, the fun we're talking
(03:15):
about the funt and the fund says Matt Eberflus Bears
head coaching under it one and fourteen record. When the
other team scores first, there you go, Matt Eberflu's gonna
who scored first tonight?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Hey, the Panthers a punt return. Yeah, and there was
a flag on the field. This game I never even acknowledged.
This game is really renishent of Monday Night. Punt return
for a touchdown and that's kind of it. For a
long time. It's the Panthers. The one in seven Panthers
lead the two and seven Bears ten to nine early
(03:46):
in the third quarter. There has been one counted one
touchdown tonight on the aforementioned punt return. Everything else is
a field goal. There's been sacks, there have been drop passes.
There has been not a lot of authent This is
Thursday Night to the extreme.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Well, Deontay Foreman was running the ball well and then
he got hurt, so he was on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
She's back in the game now, so now you have
that for you. It's so bad, you know, the Tyson
bagent worlds some ducks being thrown in the first half
and Bryce Young, well, he's they're they're wondering why they
didn't take CJ. Stroud with each drop back as it
(04:28):
goes through the look. For as bad as the Bears are,
the one thing they've been able to do is is
shut down opposing running games throughout the year. The yards
before contact is really one of those statue hang your
hat on. I bet you still get beat in the
secondary and you lose, so it doesn't really matter. But look,
you gotta find some positivity, find your wins where you
are because I mean, look Al Michaels tonight, he really
(04:51):
got his high point of this season because they had
Jason Kelsey come and say hi to him. He was laughing,
he was loving life. I mean, I can't wait to
see who they drag out as I was asking you
they see And he also ran celebrities running around the
stands because they'll be dragging their asses up to the booth.
Here here, I need a gift for Al in America.
(05:12):
Do you honestly think I'm being honest with you?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Do you honestly think the NFL said okay? Great? Amazon
wants Thursday Night Football. They still don't know well enough
to know what a good game is. So they're just
a bunch of dopes. Why if we're hired off again,
we're gonna give them a bunch of crap games and
maybe it takes them a couple of years and then
we'll start giving them good games when they stand up
and go, hey, you know, not everybody is. I mean,
(05:34):
these games are not good.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Well, you know how you get these teams are bad,
the new kids on the blocks and tea of you know,
you'll take what's left over from Fox and everybody else.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You start hanging tough. Is that what you you will
be loving you? But what you do? We got the
right way to bigger pile of cash. They had a
big pile of cab. They needed a bigger one evidence
they gave him Thursday Night Football. If the pile of
cash wasn't big enough, they wouldn't have taken it. Hey, guys,
next week Bengals at Ravens. Yeah, no, I know, we've
got the Bengals in a route right. No, no, no,
(06:05):
it's it's actually gonna be the Bears next Thursday. Actually
flexing it out, it's the Seahawks in a route get
it rid of. It's gonna be the it's gonna be
the Bears, and it's just gonna be a practice, and
that's what we're gonna get. Mark away Jets guy, Mike,
you're acting like he's not gonna take the Bengals in
a route out the Ravens. Oh no, it's it's odd, dude. Dude,
you acting like we didn't mention that like four minutes
ago in the show, that that's the game next week.
(06:27):
We just did that. Your Mike wasn't even on just
we just did We just did that. We did that.
I could played the whole thing. We did the whole
thing right here. Uh, you get the gift, right, it's
an ebo. You get this.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Hey, next week you get AFC North Battle and maybe
both Jamar Chas and d Higgins will play in that
game that ain't happening this week.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You'll talk about that too. Why I'm not Eberflu's head
coach the Chicago Bears and the official team of Thursday
night Football. If you want to come see football on Thursday.
Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not. But you know what
I learn to kindergarten. You get what you get, and
you don't get upset.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Oh there is there is that. I mean, Cairo Santos
did kick a fifty four yard field goal that was
pretty much not yeah yeah, yeah, I mean he barely
made the forty nine yarder, but there was a penalty
on the play. Yeah, and instead of punting or going
for it, they said, you know what, super Toe get
after it.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Do you think the NFL has people standing around Jeff
Bezos and they're telling him how great certain plays are
a fifty four year Jeff, did you see that fifty
four yard field goal? You never see something like that, man,
that's amazing. He's like, oh, we got a fifty four
yard field goal in our game. And he's looking at
metrics and he's on the internet and he's seeing, you
know where the game spikes were a fifty four yard
field goal. And then the NFL has people that just
(07:39):
to convince him and say things that it's a big deal.
Oh hey, man, Mike Singletary's on the sideline. Oh he
was so huge, What a great star. Oh, people are
gonna tune in to watch cutaways of Mike single Do
you see that, boy that this is a great this
is a great product. Jeff I'm telling you, man, no,
don't don't email anybody. Everything is fine. This is a
great product you're getting.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Now we've seen the inset, uh and the the overlay
right where you got a border talking about products and whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
When Carissa and the team are talking. I really thought
this was gonna be the week that all of a
sudden there was a Queason art or something being held
up by al Michael's. Hey, guys, you know what the
game is next week? What Bengals at Ravens? Really? Yeah,
finally getting a good one? Is that the game next week?
(08:26):
I didn't know that. I thought it was. I thought
it was a replay of Seahawks Ravens. Thought that's what
we're game again. That's you're not going to take the points,
are you?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, how many many points doesn't matter. I don't need Okay,
now you gotta tell me, Frostburg, why are you so
wrapped up on one game that we picked? As we
set a standard here, pick doesn't Yes, and my and
my record and upset specials this year is usually very good,
and this year I think I'm eleven and seven record
in your head and the actual record is very good.
It's eleven is set. What what what happened? What happened?
(08:55):
Why are you so mad? You set a standard here
that was not it? Stan? Why are you so mad? Why?
Why are you so mad that I picked the game
and I picked it wrong? Because you're better than that.
Games get wrong? That one the Bears. I mean, come on, man, man,
I mean I don't know the way, I don't know
that to pick Gino Smith again, but I mean, come on,
I mean, you know this is They're a red zone.
All right. It was a good idea, it was. It
(09:18):
was one game and I didn't get it right. I
mean it was very close and just get it wrong.
I said, well, look, if you're gonna fail, fail spectacular.
I was getting I was getting the Seahawks and I
was getting thirty three and I almost won. You really
tease was close? I was really close. I really tease
that line up they get the Seahawks and thirty three. Oh,
I just missed it.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
You know what you need to do, though, You need
to write a personal letter on your stationary to DK
Metcalf and say.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Hell happened tonight? Shoe brought to you by Progressive Insurance.
Progressive makes bundling easy and affordable, get a multi policy
discount by combining your motorcycle, RV, boat, ATV and more,
all your protection of one plays bundle and save at Progressive. So, yes,
it's Thursday night, and yes it's football, even though teams
are three and fourteen between them. It's the man, I
(10:08):
can't I can't lose, No, because it doesn't matter because
you have their draft picks. So really there's no way
for you to lose, and there's no way for the
for the Panthers to win. So it really that's pretty good.
It's a pretty stress free night for you.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I mean, why do you think Ebert Flus was smiling
like a hat on the sideline?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Now? Is justin Field's playing? Or is he doubtful? Can
he go up into the boozy out?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Is he outer? Is he doubtful? What is he? Is
he outer doubtful? I think he's not playing. I think
they finally had to actually submit a form to say
he was out. So but did they though? I mean,
you could wait because he said he was doubtful but
then said he wasn't and then said he might have
to wait. I don't, I don't know he could. Can
he be out and doubtful.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
What would be really cool is if suddenly he came
walking out to tunnel like he was a WWE superstar,
and they started playing some entrance music and.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
They started interviewing saying, hey, Justin, how come you're not
as good as C J. Stroud? How did keep the
job from him? I mean even when he was younger?
I mean, wow, how did you choose?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Go ahead, you can't expand on that, expanding that Justin
I got drafted by the Bears. How about that? Right?
That's an equalizer right there. But you know c J.
Stroud's team wasn't very good either, So there's that.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, But the coaches actually want him to play football
and play it well.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So here's where we sit right now. We could be
on the cusp of another touchdown, but maybe not second
in goal for the Bears at the six yard line.
They trail this game ten to nine, and it's hard.
I want to say that something's at stake. Maybe al
Michael Sanity is at stake. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Oh, the spreads still three and a half. Like I said, though,
I mean when Jason Kelsey was up there, I mean,
they treated it like it was a preseason game. What
would man that I feel was greatly disrespectful to all
the people that were.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Getting on board here for this game. What will be
better right now watching this game? Or Jason Kelcey answering
questions about Taylor Swift, his brother, anything else he's got.
I'm about done with him too, really? Oh yeah, okay,
all right.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I used to be the biggest proponent of Hey, the
offensive lineman getting his run. I'm just his fifteen minutes
is really extended at this point. The fact that a
bunch of dopes are going to buy a Christmas album.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Doubtful.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oh boy, I'll tell you. But hey, we do have
some big news. Let's go studio. We have big news
right now, tysher, we have it. We have our big
news sounder. Yeah, big news, big news. Frantically working on
this round the clock right now. But we have a
touchdown in the Bears game. The Bears have a touchdown,
(12:43):
they have the lead. Dante Formant goes in from six yards.
Oubts everybody who played Dante who in Fantasy tonight? Congratulations, Hey,
do you have to have Foreman's up to sixty two
yards in the score? You like they just did something
that Jets didn't do on Monday.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
That is absolutely right, and we're inching ever closer to
that over under number of thirty eight and a half.
So I gotta sell, sell, sell, let's go. It's Thursday
Night football. It's a celebration. The extra point is up
and good make it sixteen to ten. Bears lead the
Carolina Panthers six and a half to go in the
third quarter minus three and a half.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So right now, we just hit the two minute warning.
The Panthers have the football, they are down by three,
and they are in Bears territory. And I'm gonna give
you the most unpopular take in the history of the world.
Let's go. I can go Hawks in a row. I
can go for overtime in this game. Why not? I
(13:43):
could go for that, go.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
For over three football?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Are you kidding? Hey? I celebrate all of it. I
know this game is awful. It's tag o for more
bright orange uniforms, more cutaways to eber flues. Why not?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
There's a shot at Justin fields on the sideline. I
mean they just announced that it's the J. C. Penny
Postgame Show.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, how about Dad. That's good. That's some next level stuff, TJ.
The show clearly is all inside DJ. Well, where's the toys?
R Us Giraffe making it appear, But it's too soon.
On Jeffrey Man comes Jeffrey Backer. No, I mean, if
you're bringing it, assume you gotta have a mask at
Jeffrey's got to come back. Jeffrey's homeless now, Mike, what
do you No?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
No, No, he's taking over. There's a lot of spaces
in malls. He can just take him shop at this point.
But they've converted a couple of fourth downs. I mean,
there's been some excitement for the pants.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Oh I could see listen. I I'd like to see
a made field goal and then we get overtime. I
mean it's a fifty yard drive. No, I want to
see overtime, I really do. I want to see chaos.
Let's go. Well, I mean it's you know what it is.
It's like one of those things where it's a Thursday
night and it's a football game on and when it's over,
it's over. There's no more football. So do you want
(14:51):
more of this or.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Not well in the NBA, for whatever reason, had another
two game night, right, they took Tuesday off and now
you have it too. Oh no, no, no, because the tournament.
Yeah to tournament tomorrow in season. Yeah, you see wanting overtime.
And here's my philosophy in it. It's like, it's when
you're a kid and your parents make dinner, your mom
or dad makes dinner, and you're sitting there and it's
(15:14):
not something you would really want, and it's you know,
I'm trying to think, like my grandmother was a great cook,
but she would sometimes make the driest chicken, like the
biggest dry piece of white meat you would throw on
your plate. And I'm like, it's just sucking up all
the all the all all the all the water from
it's it's almost like a like a dehumidifier, like it's
just sucking out all the all the the liquid out
(15:36):
of the air.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And I would say, okay, and you know, player, and
not eat it. And she would say eat it because
that's what's for dinner. That's what we would It would
sit there on the counter waiting for you. If you
need to eat it, we eat it. And I would say, okay,
I'm hung you gonna have something else? And she says, no,
this is what we have for dinner. You can either
be done or you can have more of this. So
I'm like, okay, if I'm still hungry, what's my choice?
(15:58):
Then I could either not have anything to eat or
have more of what I don't like. But it's still dinner.
Bad shit did mess you up? That's this game. It's
this game right now. It's either you can have the
game end and not of any more game, or have
more of a bad game because it's still a game. No,
I'll choke down more of a bad game, absolutely, and
my grim I mean really, it was so dry, can
(16:20):
feel like the like why is it? Why is the
air so drigs? It's sucking up all the moisture from
the air. It's like, oh man, and then still but
it wouldn't even get moist I'm like, this is the drug?
Is that why you only eat thighs? This is the druy?
I think that might be my push to dark you
know what, I really do think that might be it,
because I don't know that I've ever seen you order
anything other than a plate full of thighs. I don't eat.
(16:42):
I don't eat white meat because dark meat's the best,
and I think that might be it. I might have
some kind of oh hey, I got I got some
kind of stress thinking back to that. So I just
have I have dark meat chicken.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Now, Prosperby look like he wanted to say something. He's uh,
we may just thought better of it. We may not
get over time. The Panthers facing a fourth and ten
and the field goal attempt. It's about eight yards short.
It's a fifty nine yarder. It would have been good
(17:16):
from fifty one maybe.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, No, I don't know about that. Man, How the
hell do you not go for it exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
That one hundred percent all of these things I mean
feeling they went for Slamon's helmet.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
The Panthers went for it on fourth and one from
their own twenty yeah, and they got the first down,
so it was like the sixteen yards. Yeah, they went
for a fourth and one from their own sixteen yard.
I gotta say, from about five graphics here for the
prime game, they also do a pretty terrible job of
really distinguishing whether you have any time out remaining.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
It's just a solid bar. Was like, oh, now, a
third of it went away like you just thought it
was part of the graphics.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Bears three Panthers two. So this game, by the way,
is not over, not over yet. I think if you're
the Panthers, the thought behind not going for it was this.
There was two things. One it was fourth and ten,
not fourth and two. Not fourth and ten. You're a wizard,
frank right. The second thing is that you know they
have our pick. No matter what, let's give them a win.
(18:18):
So they just have to draft a little bit lower
for that second pick. Instead of picking one two back
to back, maybe they pick one five. So why not
do let's kick a field goal. Let's try to win
this game. Let's really try to do it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
It's still you know, because you expanded back out to
the decision making in Arizona. Because Kyler Murray's going to
start this week, you currently have to number one overall pick. Yeah,
let's take him out of bubble wrap and put him
back on the field. Anyway, Yeah, a minute twenty six remaining. Look,
if you had to, depending on when you bet it
or how you bet it, sixteen thirteen, I saw it
(18:52):
all over this morning as a three and a half
point line. So right now you got kicked in the teeth.
That's why you needed some overtime actions. Maybe you can
get a big a big play and a touchdown to
get you over into the finished u over the finish
line there.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
You think Tepper might sell the Panthers after this game
like he sold the soccer team. No, not so liquidating.
It's I gotta get out of the business. It's time
to liquidate. They showed him what his rev share is
gonna be if he sticks around another three to five years.
Make me an offer anywhere. He's gonna sell shares like
Vince mcmahondon. Here should yes, seven hundred million dollars. You
see that biggest play of the game right here, happening
(19:29):
right now, third and seven for the Bears, just over midfield.
A first down will end the game. They're actually gonna
throw the football, and they looks like they get the first.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Jar now, Mooney, that's a sets in into double coverage.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's a horrendous decision and it works out for the Bears.
Tyson big Yeah, look at that big time throw. He's
whole Cogan. He throws into double coverage. Mooney makes the catch.
It's a first down for the Bears. They're gonna kneel
on the football and win this game. All they had
to do was run the football and punt it away,
and the Panthers would have basically zero chance because they
(20:06):
would get the ball back with less than thirty seconds
left to go. But instead they decide to throw the football.
Let's really screw that, Let's really have the potential to
screw things up. Let's throw the football. Let's throw it
into double coverage. Let's do that, and it just so happened.
I hate when things work out when people are stupid,
and this happened. That was a stupid decision and it
(20:28):
just happened to work. Bears are gonna go to three
and seven. I hate that stupid decisions that work out.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Tyson Bajing with a big time throw the Panthers and
then they immediately showed justin fields on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
You people suck, You're just awful.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I want you to run now, I want you to
not kneel on the football and run the Giants' handoff
play and get another miracle the Metal lands, I mean,
because that was just stupid. That's just they have no
timeouts left. There's just over a minute left. You would
punt the ball to that they would get the ball
back with about twenty seconds left and have to drive one.
He said, to get him to give him a change.
Now the game is over if you if you throw
(21:05):
an incomplete pass here, you're punning it back. And they
got a minute to get a field goal. They got
a minute to get a field goal. It was a
stupid decision that worked out, that's all this was. The
play calling on first and second down was dopious. You
deserve to lose this game, and somehow you're gonna win.
But that's when you again again, I know, Bears, Panthers.
You're getting all excitable. Man, you know this, you know
(21:27):
this is like. This is like when you lose in
fantasy to to to an owner who hasn't paid attention
to his team and he's playing guys on buys and
guys who are injured and he still scores enough points
to beat Like, how did I lose to this guy?
He's got two guys on a bye and one guy's hurt,
and he still is gonna beat me because my team stunk.
That's what this is like. No, it happens, It certainly does.
Look you're selling like there's a lot of belly aching
(21:50):
in Chicago for things you don't need to belly ache today.
I hate when when stupid things work out. It's it's
against the laws of humanity.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
No, no, No, The reason you're mad is that stupid things
haven't worked out for your teams.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Okay, my team might know. My teams do stupid things
over and over and over. I mean, I gave you
a nice Max Schuerser's early I bet you did give
me a Max looking that's a nice one. No, That's
why I'm upset, because when my team does stupid things
doesn't work out. Your team does a stupid thing and
it works out. Oh, they played the Panthers. I mean,
I mean that that just like.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Sometimes the schedule is your friend, just like in Fantasy.
Look last week in one of those stupid leagues. I
hate the way it's set up, and I've argued that
since before we played Game one of last season. It's awful,
awful setup. There's nothing on the waiver wire and you're
basically dead after the draft, so it's a waste of time.
But last week finished with the second highest point. Guess
(22:41):
who I played, the guy that scored one hundred and
ninety stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Happens. Likewise, you know the Jets, they didn't play an
awful game defensively last week, this earlier, this week, that's
still the same week. That's how how long ago it
seemed it was awful, But I mean it was. It
was a three touchdown burial. But it was a terrible
game esthetically, not pleasing at all. It started all with
a punt return for a touchdown once again like tonight,
(23:08):
but which never happens. And now we have them in
back to back primetime games, which is crazy. But once
again the under hits unders coming in at about sixty
two and a half percent on the year. Just so, yeah,
you got that one in for you. But yeah, it's
an ugly game. It's exactly what you expected. The old
rule of thumb applies.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
If you don't like it, don't watch, find something else,
put in a tape of he Got Jacked Up?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Or I'm just saying that. You know, in the way
karma works, in the way things go, if you do
something stupid like that, you got to pay the piper.
But I mean Ibraflus has paid the piper repeatedly. At
some point the piper's tapped out, all right, he can
have this one. The piper's doubtful, but he's out. That's it.
You don't know if he's gonna show up. At least.
(23:53):
The one thing I can say is we may get
some entertaining Matt Eberflu's so'st press conference. I want to
see him dump a gate read bucket over his head.
He's the only one that's gonna do it. I'm dumping
it over my own head. I gotta win. He's trying, Hey,
can you help me with this gatorade bucket? Or are we
gonna We're gonna dump it over our defensive coordinator because
you know he didn't let up a touchdown to that. No, no, no,
pick it up and dump it over me.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Stupid decisions at work out what Sometimes it happens. It
happens for people every day. It shouldn't happen. It shouldn'tppen
because it's stupid. There was a stupid decision with a
guy that's not even a good quarterback. It's all like
you have justin field though, did you see throw and
not even to your best receiver. It's why that you
were going to trade two weeks.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Maybe Herbstreet did a collins Worth that said boy, just
when they did that shot of Justin Field's boy, Justin
Fields could learn to throw a pass like that.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That's so irksome, that's so irksome that that works out.
Speaker 2 (24:48):

all the teacher rabbit Elementary, how they're all coming in sluggish.
Uh no, I would say the popularity of Thanksgiving because
(27:27):
of the two days off people. Now it's a week
for school. Yeah it is, Yeah, it is. It's a
full school a week a week. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Well, I mean growing up, I mean we only got
the two days. Now it's a full week.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah. Now it is yeah for school because it went
from two days to three because Wednesday was always it.
But now it's like, just take the whole week. What
does it matter? Well, that makes no difference.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
And Madeline still has soccer practice so there's no travel.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Take it off. It's all good. Uh So yeah, ty
should I think I think you're gonna it's a that's
tough one.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
I'm telling you. Thanksgivings more popular, spirit of Thanksgivings, store
them all near you. We get in some Gordon now.
But we are getting a Thanksgiving horror movie. Now that
that's good. And you know, I always wondered every ever
since I saw a Grindhouse. I'm like, Eli Ross should
make that Thanksgiving movie. I like seeing the knife in
the turkey and the blood coming out.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You should do it. And he's like, no, now he's
doing that. We got one Grindhouse an adult movie. No,
it's not as far as you know, it's not. No.
I really okay, Thanksgiving and we got a guy guy,
I got a pilgrim. That's good. He's got all kinds
of crazy stuff.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
That's actually the sound of the horror turkey.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That one is? That is that what you hear when
the guy's behind you're gonna kill you. Thanksgiving? You hear
that that noise.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
If you had a choice to watch the Bears and
the Panthers or getting killed by Thanksgiving, or just watch
the Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Instead of hearing you hear there's a guy that's gonna
kill me by you. It's a bad turkey. What's happening?
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Bad chicken? Mess you up, Jason, think about it. More
people buy stuff for Thanksgiving than Halloween. Thanksgivings more popular
about that. People buy turkeys. What else do you buy?
People people buy for Halloween much anymore? Everybody buys candy.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Do you know how much leftover candy is being sold now? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Stolen?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I brought candy in for everybody here the other night,
and everybody ate, but it did. Nobody's eating anymore. I
thought your candy got stolen Backsmith, nobody's eating candy? No, No,
what do you mean? People are eating?
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Kid?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Jason.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
I've been here for a cool amount of time. This
was the now next Halloween that five people brought in candy.
That's a lot of leftover candy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I think somebody still bought it. I would cheer, right,
but I would choose that people are just choosing to
think about everybody here at work and bring it's a family.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
I mean, we spend more time with each other and
staring down and mocking each other.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
So don't we get to do with our own family.
I don't want to sit next to Harmon, So the
more food I bring in, the more he eats Lessie talk.
I forget that Bullbacksmith never got the bull back.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I thought I'd find that bowl on my on my
lawn the next day. Now people just stole the candy
and stole my bull. That's like a John Wick movie. Jason,
Why are you going around because someone stole candy from
my house and didn't return the bowl. It's not quite
going to losing your dog, but okay, but it's what
(30:30):
if Halloween means a big deal? Sometimes?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, sometimes you just need I mean, you gotta find
your motivation, right.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
You go. I took that personally. They killed my dog.
Two they stole my Halloween bowl of candy from my house,
and now I'm on a rampage. You felt violated, man,
Now I get that. It's a new Halloween. John My
Halloween movie.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
There there you go, starring David Pumpkins, who did.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
You say David Pumpkins. Who's David Pumpkins a character that
they had with Tom Hanks's It sounds like an adult
film name. Hey, David Pumpkins is in this movie? Do
you see David Pumpkins won the I think it's actually
David A. Pumpkins. That's even better. David A. Pumpkins, start
s Pumpkins, David S. Pumpkins. So David S. Pumpkins.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Okay, all right, that's like doctor Frank and Furder, Okay,
more or less. So it's gonna be hard to top
Matt Eberflus's press conference from the day ago where he
couldn't even let anybody know if quarterback Justin Fields was
doubtful or out Yeah for tonight's game. And we had
a lot of fun with that. So let's see what
(31:42):
Matt Eberflus, Bears head coach, had to say following the
Bears win tonight over the Panthers in a Thursday night
football game watched by dozens, I mean watched by millions
of people. It was a thriller watch by millions across
the country. Let's hear from Matt Eberflus.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
You see what was up.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
I don't know what's up yours.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
That was the teaser that So someone asks you to
play up your sleeve? What's up yours?
Speaker 5 (32:14):
See?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
What was up your sleeve?
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Did you use it? I don't know what's up yours?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Now he's a bleeping comedian. I told you he's gonna
be all smiley and chesty. There he is. Hey, people
like my weird ass press conference a day ago. I'm
gonna really raise the stakes the next day. Double down, man,
let's go. Here's what I'm watching you to. I want
you to ask me at the press conference if I
used then he plays up my sleeve because I got
a one line. I'm going right back at you and sing.
(32:40):
It's like it's like the comedian's gotta plant in the audience.
That's gonna so now you're gonna heckle me and then
I'm gonna come right back at you, because that's what's
gonna be fun. Oh okay, great, I mean really come
at me hard.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
All right?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And tysher you got that? Okay, very good? All right?
So Lesier from Maddie The Cuts up your Sleeve The
comedy side of Bears head Coach Matty before the consideration
was given two seven points and that wouldn't be when they're.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Trying to drive them.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Yeah, you know, we were just one of the stacked
points up there, you know, really one of the stack
to points up there.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
It was it's that type of game, you know.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
We we thought that our defense was playing really well
and we know it was going to be a close
game at the end.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
My way away, stop for one second, sop for one second,
stop for one second. So the question was about when
they scored the touchdown to go up fifteen to ten,
they kicked the extra point to go up sixteen to
ten instead of going for two to go up seventeen ten. Yeah. Now,
all he's got to do is say, well, at that
point in the game, two field goals, we didn't want
to lose the lead. That's all you have to say.
Stacking points, dude, it's one more point. It's fifteen to sixteen. Yeah,
(33:52):
that sounds that stacking points. That's like, that's like putting.
That's like it's like when you're playing Chenga and you've
got to put the one little thing on the top
of the big tower. You're not stacking points. Not like
we got a touchdown and it were stacking on the
touchdown on top of it. It's you got a touchdown
and then talk about kicking the extra point. Just say, hey,
at that point in the game, it wasn't a one
possession game. The Panthers didn't have to drive down a
(34:14):
gopher broke. If it was that point, we would have
gone for it, but instead went up by two field goals.
It's an easy answer. We wanted to stack points. Oh,
they got from fifteen to thirty. No, it was fifteen
to sixteen. I mean, your stackings is really a way
just to hype up your defense.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Talk about the fact that Sweat had the pressures that
he did on Bryce Young all all game long, and
that you were confident that your defense was going to
force them to make multiple drives.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Instead your stacking points. We're stacking points, man, We're.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Stacking I made Look, you were almost halfway to the
average allowed by the Panthers in their previous road games.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
He gave up thirty six a game coming into this one.
Were stacking points? All right, Let's go back to the
press conference, and here's some more from Mattie Refleu. Really
come at me hard. I'm sorry, wrong one Wow, you
got that. You cut that up really fast, had to.
He's a talented man. That's really good. Wow, that was
actually ebra flues. That was okay, very nice. I'm a man.
(35:12):
Let's go go back to that flu that.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Our defense is playing really well and we know it
was going to be a close game at the.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
End that time.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
He told the broadcast he had something up your sleeve?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
What were you into speeding?
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Did you get to everything that you wanted to get
to the second half? No, no, we didn't, but we certainly,
uh you know, had a good plan coming out there.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
And uh again it was a defensive game.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Uh this this this weekend.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
Uh, I thought the guys did a nice shot finished
in the game that we were.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Supposed to and uh we did good. Did we see
what was up your sleeve? Did you use it?
Speaker 5 (35:45):
I don't know what's up yours? To throw?
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Yeah? What was the discussion? Like?
Speaker 5 (36:00):
And a couple of players are there They said they
were a little.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
Supper, But no, I mean there's really a decision there.
You have right, you know, so if you decided to run,
you know at that time, then you've got a punt
and pin and they would have they would have had
minute ten with no timeouts, you know, and hopefully on
the ten yard line if we if we punt it right,
you know, So that was the idea there. We liked
the play call, you know, we like to play call.
(36:24):
We discussed it and we went for it, and we
thought that executed well. Moving made a beautiful catch and
you know, he's one yard, passed the stick and sealed
the game. So really good play call by Luke, excellent
execution by the old line of the entire offense, and
Moody on the catch and Beijing on the throw.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Okay, So what he's talking about there is the play
that really pissed me off. At the end of the game.
The Bears have the ball at midfield and they're facing
a third down the I believe, I believe he's incorrect.
I got to go back and look at this, but
I'm pretty sure the Panthers were out of timeouts with
a buck ten left to go and the Bears facing
(37:03):
that third down call. You think he knows that, I'm
telling you, man, I really think that he's got that incorrect.
Where was it was third down for the Bears, third
down in about seven and if they ran the ball,
they would punt it deep, and I think the Panthers
would get it with about twenty seconds left in the game,
(37:25):
all right, I don't believe they had a timeout left
which took minute twenty six. Yeah, so Matt Eberflus doesn't
know what was going on in the game at that such.
It was third and seven. He doesn't know what twenty six.
So they run the ball and they, let's say they
don't get the first down a buck twenty by the
time the clock goes and starts and punting, you're talking
(37:48):
about twenty seconds left. He didn't know the game situation.
That's what he did. He did not know the game situation.
He's Matt Eberflus. I mean, but think about that. He
did not know the game situation at that point, because right,
third time out, but twenty six, right, that was it.
They're not getting the ball with a minute ten because
you don't keep getting time outs. You can't take time
outs and other games. He did not know the games.
(38:09):
Most of your guys didn't run out of bounds. You
were right, You run the ball, the ball forming up
the middle. If he doesn't get the first down minute twenty,
I mean, you're gonna get They're gonna get the ball
pinned deep with about twenty seconds left and no timeouts
to getting a field goal range. Uh, you didn't know.
He didn't know. He didn't know, He didn't know the
situation of the game.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
See, this was another opportunity to just go back to you.
We really trusted our defense and thought if we dialed
up a good play and if it didn't work, our
defense was gonna be able to hold.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
And the thing is throwing the football at that point.
What that did. This is why I didn't like the
call beginning was that it's third and seven because with
no timeouts left, you punt the ball away third and seven.
You throw the ball with a quarterback that is not
a great quarterback. You don't throw to your best receiver.
You throw to a guy that almost traded before the deadline,
and you throw it a double coverage and you get
(39:00):
lucky that Mooney comes down with the catch. You get
lucky he comes down with the catch. It was a
stupid decision, and now it's even stupider. Now it's even stupider.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Well, his logic obviously fails and his explanation is faulty
in a million levels.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
But in the end, guy made a great throw. Was
it the right play call? Was it the right decision
as it was happening? Color me intrigued? IY like chaos.
I like when they don't know down distance and situation.
You know why, because it gives us more stuff to
talk about. And for once in the eber Flus era,
things went his way. Wow. But just to sit there
(39:37):
and say they had a time outlet didn't have a
time out? And Jason shocked about this? I mean, come on, man,
I know who you're.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Dealing with, right, this is just another line on a
Wikipedia page, leep in sideline that.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
No, man, there's other people that know. It's heddy dude. No,
they're out of timeouts, no timeouts. Run the football twenty
seconds left. Wow. Wow, that's your head coach, and I
think the Jets skull on my head coach, your head coach,
vote for him?
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (40:05):
I didn't hire him. Wow. That's unbelievable. We should have
never come back. We gotta we're stealing straight out of Rocky.
We should have never come back coming back in twenty
twenty three. That is really is amazing. Did you say, wow,
the call time out? They could have called time out. Wow,

You know when your options in January dwindled to a
couple of playoff games, NBA games you don't give a
damn about, and college basketball still being two months away
from when anybody cares come and complain to me then
about how bad this football game?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You think I'm gonna watch her? Want to watch her
replay of this game.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, celebrate it. Why
we haven't, Yeah, because it will go away America, But
then it comes back, It goes away, it comes ahead.
That tw It works all My life's a circle. Well,
it's how it works.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Sunrise and sun don't be upset because your bears stink
and they become the official team of Thursday Night, right,
don't forget that.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Well, but I mean you want to be the official
something I'm still looking for. The official sandwich is this
the official coffee, the official soft drink, the official hard alcohol,
and we really.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Need that tonight. The hard alcohol, you know what, official
brand of the show. They're still looking for all of that.
This is like the fifth time this year the Bears
have played on a Thursday Night. Like the Jaguars are
the official team of London, the Bears are the official
team of Thursday Night. That's all right. When I like
to watch bad football, I turn on Amazon on Thursday
night and watch the Bears.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Well, I mean next week it's the Bears Bangles and
Raven Bear scrimmage?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
What next next Thursday is? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Eberflus still gonna be coaching and giving us great quips.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Are they gonna flex the Ravens out and the best
team in the AFC so we can get the Bears again? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
But what's the best laugh we had we were interviewing
Eberflus coming back to the field for the second half.
What was the graphic? Oh yeah, I don't think you've
laughed that hard now, Jewet, I mean Amazon really just
trolling Matt Eberflus. At this point, before the second half begins,
Eberflus does his interview before the bars on the field
and if font said the funt, the fun we're talking
(03:15):
about the funt and the fund says Matt Eberflus Bears
head coaching under it one and fourteen record. When the
other team scores first, there you go, Matt Eberflu's gonna
who scored first tonight?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Hey, the Panthers a punt return. Yeah, and there was
a flag on the field. This game I never even acknowledged.
This game is really renishent of Monday Night. Punt return
for a touchdown and that's kind of it. For a
long time. It's the Panthers. The one in seven Panthers
lead the two and seven Bears ten to nine early
(03:46):
in the third quarter. There has been one counted one
touchdown tonight on the aforementioned punt return. Everything else is
a field goal. There's been sacks, there have been drop passes.
There has been not a lot of authent This is
Thursday Night to the extreme.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Well, Deontay Foreman was running the ball well and then
he got hurt, so he was on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
She's back in the game now, so now you have
that for you. It's so bad, you know, the Tyson
bagent worlds some ducks being thrown in the first half
and Bryce Young, well, he's they're they're wondering why they
didn't take CJ. Stroud with each drop back as it
(04:28):
goes through the look. For as bad as the Bears are,
the one thing they've been able to do is is
shut down opposing running games throughout the year. The yards
before contact is really one of those statue hang your
hat on. I bet you still get beat in the
secondary and you lose, so it doesn't really matter. But look,
you gotta find some positivity, find your wins where you
are because I mean, look Al Michaels tonight, he really
(04:51):
got his high point of this season because they had
Jason Kelsey come and say hi to him. He was laughing,
he was loving life. I mean, I can't wait to
see who they drag out as I was asking you
they see And he also ran celebrities running around the
stands because they'll be dragging their asses up to the booth.
Here here, I need a gift for Al in America.
(05:12):
Do you honestly think I'm being honest with you?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Do you honestly think the NFL said okay? Great? Amazon
wants Thursday Night Football. They still don't know well enough
to know what a good game is. So they're just
a bunch of dopes. Why if we're hired off again,
we're gonna give them a bunch of crap games and
maybe it takes them a couple of years and then
we'll start giving them good games when they stand up
and go, hey, you know, not everybody is. I mean,
(05:34):
these games are not good.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Well, you know how you get these teams are bad,
the new kids on the blocks and tea of you know,
you'll take what's left over from Fox and everybody else.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You start hanging tough. Is that what you you will
be loving you? But what you do? We got the
right way to bigger pile of cash. They had a
big pile of cab. They needed a bigger one evidence
they gave him Thursday Night Football. If the pile of
cash wasn't big enough, they wouldn't have taken it. Hey, guys,
next week Bengals at Ravens. Yeah, no, I know, we've
got the Bengals in a route right. No, no, no,
(06:05):
it's it's actually gonna be the Bears next Thursday. Actually
flexing it out, it's the Seahawks in a route get
it rid of. It's gonna be the it's gonna be
the Bears, and it's just gonna be a practice, and
that's what we're gonna get. Mark away Jets guy, Mike,
you're acting like he's not gonna take the Bengals in
a route out the Ravens. Oh no, it's it's odd, dude. Dude,
you acting like we didn't mention that like four minutes
ago in the show, that that's the game next week.
(06:27):
We just did that. Your Mike wasn't even on just
we just did We just did that. We did that.
I could played the whole thing. We did the whole
thing right here. Uh, you get the gift, right, it's
an ebo. You get this.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Hey, next week you get AFC North Battle and maybe
both Jamar Chas and d Higgins will play in that
game that ain't happening this week.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You'll talk about that too. Why I'm not Eberflu's head
coach the Chicago Bears and the official team of Thursday
night Football. If you want to come see football on Thursday.
Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not. But you know what
I learn to kindergarten. You get what you get, and
you don't get upset.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Oh there is there is that. I mean, Cairo Santos
did kick a fifty four yard field goal that was
pretty much not yeah yeah, yeah, I mean he barely
made the forty nine yarder, but there was a penalty
on the play. Yeah, and instead of punting or going
for it, they said, you know what, super Toe get
after it.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Do you think the NFL has people standing around Jeff
Bezos and they're telling him how great certain plays are
a fifty four year Jeff, did you see that fifty
four yard field goal? You never see something like that, man,
that's amazing. He's like, oh, we got a fifty four
yard field goal in our game. And he's looking at
metrics and he's on the internet and he's seeing, you
know where the game spikes were a fifty four yard
field goal. And then the NFL has people that just
(07:39):
to convince him and say things that it's a big deal.
Oh hey, man, Mike Singletary's on the sideline. Oh he
was so huge, What a great star. Oh, people are
gonna tune in to watch cutaways of Mike single Do
you see that, boy that this is a great this
is a great product. Jeff I'm telling you, man, no,
don't don't email anybody. Everything is fine. This is a
great product you're getting.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Now we've seen the inset, uh and the the overlay
right where you got a border talking about products and whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
When Carissa and the team are talking. I really thought
this was gonna be the week that all of a
sudden there was a Queason art or something being held
up by al Michael's. Hey, guys, you know what the
game is next week? What Bengals at Ravens? Really? Yeah,
finally getting a good one? Is that the game next week?
(08:26):
I didn't know that. I thought it was. I thought
it was a replay of Seahawks Ravens. Thought that's what
we're game again. That's you're not going to take the points,
are you?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, how many many points doesn't matter. I don't need Okay,
now you gotta tell me, Frostburg, why are you so
wrapped up on one game that we picked? As we
set a standard here, pick doesn't Yes, and my and
my record and upset specials this year is usually very good,
and this year I think I'm eleven and seven record
in your head and the actual record is very good.
It's eleven is set. What what what happened? What happened?
(08:55):
Why are you so mad? You set a standard here
that was not it? Stan? Why are you so mad? Why?
Why are you so mad that I picked the game
and I picked it wrong? Because you're better than that.
Games get wrong? That one the Bears. I mean, come on, man, man,
I mean I don't know the way, I don't know
that to pick Gino Smith again, but I mean, come on,
I mean, you know this is They're a red zone.
All right. It was a good idea, it was. It
(09:18):
was one game and I didn't get it right. I
mean it was very close and just get it wrong.
I said, well, look, if you're gonna fail, fail spectacular.
I was getting I was getting the Seahawks and I
was getting thirty three and I almost won. You really
tease was close? I was really close. I really tease
that line up they get the Seahawks and thirty three. Oh,
I just missed it.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
You know what you need to do, though, You need
to write a personal letter on your stationary to DK
Metcalf and say.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Hell happened tonight? Shoe brought to you by Progressive Insurance.
Progressive makes bundling easy and affordable, get a multi policy
discount by combining your motorcycle, RV, boat, ATV and more,
all your protection of one plays bundle and save at Progressive. So, yes,
it's Thursday night, and yes it's football, even though teams
are three and fourteen between them. It's the man, I
(10:08):
can't I can't lose, No, because it doesn't matter because
you have their draft picks. So really there's no way
for you to lose, and there's no way for the
for the Panthers to win. So it really that's pretty good.
It's a pretty stress free night for you.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I mean, why do you think Ebert Flus was smiling
like a hat on the sideline?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Now? Is justin Field's playing? Or is he doubtful? Can
he go up into the boozy out?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Is he outer? Is he doubtful? What is he? Is
he outer doubtful? I think he's not playing. I think
they finally had to actually submit a form to say
he was out. So but did they though? I mean,
you could wait because he said he was doubtful but
then said he wasn't and then said he might have
to wait. I don't, I don't know he could. Can
he be out and doubtful.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
What would be really cool is if suddenly he came
walking out to tunnel like he was a WWE superstar,
and they started playing some entrance music and.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
They started interviewing saying, hey, Justin, how come you're not
as good as C J. Stroud? How did keep the
job from him? I mean even when he was younger?
I mean, wow, how did you choose?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Go ahead, you can't expand on that, expanding that Justin
I got drafted by the Bears. How about that? Right?
That's an equalizer right there. But you know c J.
Stroud's team wasn't very good either, So there's that.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, But the coaches actually want him to play football
and play it well.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So here's where we sit right now. We could be
on the cusp of another touchdown, but maybe not second
in goal for the Bears at the six yard line.
They trail this game ten to nine, and it's hard.
I want to say that something's at stake. Maybe al
Michael Sanity is at stake. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Oh, the spreads still three and a half. Like I said, though,
I mean when Jason Kelsey was up there, I mean,
they treated it like it was a preseason game. What
would man that I feel was greatly disrespectful to all
the people that were.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Getting on board here for this game. What will be
better right now watching this game? Or Jason Kelcey answering
questions about Taylor Swift, his brother, anything else he's got.
I'm about done with him too, really? Oh yeah, okay,
all right.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I used to be the biggest proponent of Hey, the
offensive lineman getting his run. I'm just his fifteen minutes
is really extended at this point. The fact that a
bunch of dopes are going to buy a Christmas album.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Doubtful.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oh boy, I'll tell you. But hey, we do have
some big news. Let's go studio. We have big news
right now, tysher, we have it. We have our big
news sounder. Yeah, big news, big news. Frantically working on
this round the clock right now. But we have a
touchdown in the Bears game. The Bears have a touchdown,
(12:43):
they have the lead. Dante Formant goes in from six yards.
Oubts everybody who played Dante who in Fantasy tonight? Congratulations, Hey,
do you have to have Foreman's up to sixty two
yards in the score? You like they just did something
that Jets didn't do on Monday.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
That is absolutely right, and we're inching ever closer to
that over under number of thirty eight and a half.
So I gotta sell, sell, sell, let's go. It's Thursday
Night football. It's a celebration. The extra point is up
and good make it sixteen to ten. Bears lead the
Carolina Panthers six and a half to go in the
third quarter minus three and a half.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So right now, we just hit the two minute warning.
The Panthers have the football, they are down by three,
and they are in Bears territory. And I'm gonna give
you the most unpopular take in the history of the world.
Let's go. I can go Hawks in a row. I
can go for overtime in this game. Why not? I
(13:43):
could go for that, go.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
For over three football?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Are you kidding? Hey? I celebrate all of it. I
know this game is awful. It's tag o for more
bright orange uniforms, more cutaways to eber flues. Why not?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
There's a shot at Justin fields on the sideline. I
mean they just announced that it's the J. C. Penny
Postgame Show.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, how about Dad. That's good. That's some next level stuff, TJ.
The show clearly is all inside DJ. Well, where's the toys?
R Us Giraffe making it appear, But it's too soon.
On Jeffrey Man comes Jeffrey Backer. No, I mean, if
you're bringing it, assume you gotta have a mask at
Jeffrey's got to come back. Jeffrey's homeless now, Mike, what
do you No?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
No, No, he's taking over. There's a lot of spaces
in malls. He can just take him shop at this point.
But they've converted a couple of fourth downs. I mean,
there's been some excitement for the pants.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Oh I could see listen. I I'd like to see
a made field goal and then we get overtime. I
mean it's a fifty yard drive. No, I want to
see overtime, I really do. I want to see chaos.
Let's go. Well, I mean it's you know what it is.
It's like one of those things where it's a Thursday
night and it's a football game on and when it's over,
it's over. There's no more football. So do you want
(14:51):
more of this or.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Not well in the NBA, for whatever reason, had another
two game night, right, they took Tuesday off and now
you have it too. Oh no, no, no, because the tournament.
Yeah to tournament tomorrow in season. Yeah, you see wanting overtime.
And here's my philosophy in it. It's like, it's when
you're a kid and your parents make dinner, your mom
or dad makes dinner, and you're sitting there and it's
(15:14):
not something you would really want, and it's you know,
I'm trying to think, like my grandmother was a great cook,
but she would sometimes make the driest chicken, like the
biggest dry piece of white meat you would throw on
your plate. And I'm like, it's just sucking up all
the all the all all the all the water from
it's it's almost like a like a dehumidifier, like it's
just sucking out all the all the the liquid out
(15:36):
of the air.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And I would say, okay, and you know, player, and
not eat it. And she would say eat it because
that's what's for dinner. That's what we would It would
sit there on the counter waiting for you. If you
need to eat it, we eat it. And I would say, okay,
I'm hung you gonna have something else? And she says, no,
this is what we have for dinner. You can either
be done or you can have more of this. So
I'm like, okay, if I'm still hungry, what's my choice?
(15:58):
Then I could either not have anything to eat or
have more of what I don't like. But it's still dinner.
Bad shit did mess you up? That's this game. It's
this game right now. It's either you can have the
game end and not of any more game, or have
more of a bad game because it's still a game. No,
I'll choke down more of a bad game, absolutely, and
my grim I mean really, it was so dry, can
(16:20):
feel like the like why is it? Why is the
air so drigs? It's sucking up all the moisture from
the air. It's like, oh man, and then still but
it wouldn't even get moist I'm like, this is the drug?
Is that why you only eat thighs? This is the druy?
I think that might be my push to dark you
know what, I really do think that might be it,
because I don't know that I've ever seen you order
anything other than a plate full of thighs. I don't eat.
(16:42):
I don't eat white meat because dark meat's the best,
and I think that might be it. I might have
some kind of oh hey, I got I got some
kind of stress thinking back to that. So I just
have I have dark meat chicken.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Now, Prosperby look like he wanted to say something. He's uh,
we may just thought better of it. We may not
get over time. The Panthers facing a fourth and ten
and the field goal attempt. It's about eight yards short.
It's a fifty nine yarder. It would have been good
(17:16):
from fifty one maybe.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, No, I don't know about that. Man, How the
hell do you not go for it exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
That one hundred percent all of these things I mean
feeling they went for Slamon's helmet.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
The Panthers went for it on fourth and one from
their own twenty yeah, and they got the first down,
so it was like the sixteen yards. Yeah, they went
for a fourth and one from their own sixteen yard.
I gotta say, from about five graphics here for the
prime game, they also do a pretty terrible job of
really distinguishing whether you have any time out remaining.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
It's just a solid bar. Was like, oh, now, a
third of it went away like you just thought it
was part of the graphics.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Bears three Panthers two. So this game, by the way,
is not over, not over yet. I think if you're
the Panthers, the thought behind not going for it was this.
There was two things. One it was fourth and ten,
not fourth and two. Not fourth and ten. You're a wizard,
frank right. The second thing is that you know they
have our pick. No matter what, let's give them a win.
(18:18):
So they just have to draft a little bit lower
for that second pick. Instead of picking one two back
to back, maybe they pick one five. So why not
do let's kick a field goal. Let's try to win
this game. Let's really try to do it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
It's still you know, because you expanded back out to
the decision making in Arizona. Because Kyler Murray's going to
start this week, you currently have to number one overall pick. Yeah,
let's take him out of bubble wrap and put him
back on the field. Anyway, Yeah, a minute twenty six remaining. Look,
if you had to, depending on when you bet it
or how you bet it, sixteen thirteen, I saw it
(18:52):
all over this morning as a three and a half
point line. So right now you got kicked in the teeth.
That's why you needed some overtime actions. Maybe you can
get a big a big play and a touchdown to
get you over into the finished u over the finish
line there.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
You think Tepper might sell the Panthers after this game
like he sold the soccer team. No, not so liquidating.
It's I gotta get out of the business. It's time
to liquidate. They showed him what his rev share is
gonna be if he sticks around another three to five years.
Make me an offer anywhere. He's gonna sell shares like
Vince mcmahondon. Here should yes, seven hundred million dollars. You
see that biggest play of the game right here, happening
(19:29):
right now, third and seven for the Bears, just over midfield.
A first down will end the game. They're actually gonna
throw the football, and they looks like they get the first.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Jar now, Mooney, that's a sets in into double coverage.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's a horrendous decision and it works out for the Bears.
Tyson big Yeah, look at that big time throw. He's
whole Cogan. He throws into double coverage. Mooney makes the catch.
It's a first down for the Bears. They're gonna kneel
on the football and win this game. All they had
to do was run the football and punt it away,
and the Panthers would have basically zero chance because they
(20:06):
would get the ball back with less than thirty seconds
left to go. But instead they decide to throw the football.
Let's really screw that, Let's really have the potential to
screw things up. Let's throw the football. Let's throw it
into double coverage. Let's do that, and it just so happened.
I hate when things work out when people are stupid,
and this happened. That was a stupid decision and it
(20:28):
just happened to work. Bears are gonna go to three
and seven. I hate that stupid decisions that work out.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Tyson Bajing with a big time throw the Panthers and
then they immediately showed justin fields on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
You people suck, You're just awful.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I want you to run now, I want you to
not kneel on the football and run the Giants' handoff
play and get another miracle the Metal lands, I mean,
because that was just stupid. That's just they have no
timeouts left. There's just over a minute left. You would
punt the ball to that they would get the ball
back with about twenty seconds left and have to drive one.
He said, to get him to give him a change.
Now the game is over if you if you throw
(21:05):
an incomplete pass here, you're punning it back. And they
got a minute to get a field goal. They got
a minute to get a field goal. It was a
stupid decision that worked out, that's all this was. The
play calling on first and second down was dopious. You
deserve to lose this game, and somehow you're gonna win.
But that's when you again again, I know, Bears, Panthers.
You're getting all excitable. Man, you know this, you know
(21:27):
this is like. This is like when you lose in
fantasy to to to an owner who hasn't paid attention
to his team and he's playing guys on buys and
guys who are injured and he still scores enough points
to beat Like, how did I lose to this guy?
He's got two guys on a bye and one guy's hurt,
and he still is gonna beat me because my team stunk.
That's what this is like. No, it happens, It certainly does.
Look you're selling like there's a lot of belly aching
(21:50):
in Chicago for things you don't need to belly ache today.
I hate when when stupid things work out. It's it's
against the laws of humanity.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
No, no, No, The reason you're mad is that stupid things
haven't worked out for your teams.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Okay, my team might know. My teams do stupid things
over and over and over. I mean, I gave you
a nice Max Schuerser's early I bet you did give
me a Max looking that's a nice one. No, That's
why I'm upset, because when my team does stupid things
doesn't work out. Your team does a stupid thing and
it works out. Oh, they played the Panthers. I mean,
I mean that that just like.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Sometimes the schedule is your friend, just like in Fantasy.
Look last week in one of those stupid leagues. I
hate the way it's set up, and I've argued that
since before we played Game one of last season. It's awful,
awful setup. There's nothing on the waiver wire and you're
basically dead after the draft, so it's a waste of time.
But last week finished with the second highest point. Guess
(22:41):
who I played, the guy that scored one hundred and
ninety stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Happens. Likewise, you know the Jets, they didn't play an
awful game defensively last week, this earlier, this week, that's
still the same week. That's how how long ago it
seemed it was awful, But I mean it was. It
was a three touchdown burial. But it was a terrible
game esthetically, not pleasing at all. It started all with
a punt return for a touchdown once again like tonight,
(23:08):
but which never happens. And now we have them in
back to back primetime games, which is crazy. But once
again the under hits unders coming in at about sixty
two and a half percent on the year. Just so, yeah,
you got that one in for you. But yeah, it's
an ugly game. It's exactly what you expected. The old
rule of thumb applies.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
If you don't like it, don't watch, find something else,
put in a tape of he Got Jacked Up?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Or I'm just saying that. You know, in the way
karma works, in the way things go, if you do
something stupid like that, you got to pay the piper.
But I mean Ibraflus has paid the piper repeatedly. At
some point the piper's tapped out, all right, he can
have this one. The piper's doubtful, but he's out. That's it.
You don't know if he's gonna show up. At least.
(23:53):
The one thing I can say is we may get
some entertaining Matt Eberflu's so'st press conference. I want to
see him dump a gate read bucket over his head.
He's the only one that's gonna do it. I'm dumping
it over my own head. I gotta win. He's trying, Hey,
can you help me with this gatorade bucket? Or are we
gonna We're gonna dump it over our defensive coordinator because
you know he didn't let up a touchdown to that. No, no, no,
pick it up and dump it over me.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Stupid decisions at work out what Sometimes it happens. It
happens for people every day. It shouldn't happen. It shouldn'tppen
because it's stupid. There was a stupid decision with a
guy that's not even a good quarterback. It's all like
you have justin field though, did you see throw and
not even to your best receiver. It's why that you
were going to trade two weeks.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Maybe Herbstreet did a collins Worth that said boy, just
when they did that shot of Justin Field's boy, Justin
Fields could learn to throw a pass like that.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That's so irksome, that's so irksome that that works out.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

I'm telling you. Thanksgivings more popular, spirit of Thanksgivings, store
them all near you. We get in some Gordon now.
But we are getting a Thanksgiving horror movie. Now that
that's good. And you know, I always wondered every ever
since I saw a Grindhouse. I'm like, Eli Ross should

the turkey and the blood coming out.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You should do it. And he's like, no, now he's
doing that. We got one Grindhouse an adult movie. No,

I really okay, Thanksgiving and we got a guy guy,
I got a pilgrim. That's good. He's got all kinds
of crazy stuff.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
That's actually the sound of the horror turkey.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That one is? That is that what you hear when
the guy's behind you're gonna kill you. Thanksgiving? You hear
that that noise.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
If you had a choice to watch the Bears and
the Panthers or getting killed by Thanksgiving, or just watch
the Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Instead of hearing you hear there's a guy that's gonna
kill me by you. It's a bad turkey. What's happening?
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Bad chicken? Mess you up, Jason, think about it. More
people buy stuff for Thanksgiving than Halloween. Thanksgivings more popular
about that. People buy turkeys. What else do you buy?
People people buy for Halloween much anymore? Everybody buys candy.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Do you know how much leftover candy is being sold now? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Stolen?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I brought candy in for everybody here the other night,
and everybody ate, but it did. Nobody's eating anymore. I
thought your candy got stolen Backsmith, nobody's eating candy? No, No,
what do you mean? People are eating?
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Kid?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Jason.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
I've been here for a cool amount of time. This
was the now next Halloween that five people brought in candy.
That's a lot of leftover candy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I think somebody still bought it. I would cheer, right,
but I would choose that people are just choosing to
think about everybody here at work and bring it's a family.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
I mean, we spend more time with each other and
staring down and mocking each other.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
So don't we get to do with our own family.
I don't want to sit next to Harmon, So the
more food I bring in, the more he eats Lessie talk.
I forget that Bullbacksmith never got the bull back.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I thought I'd find that bowl on my on my
lawn the next day. Now people just stole the candy
and stole my bull. That's like a John Wick movie. Jason,
Why are you going around because someone stole candy from
my house and didn't return the bowl. It's not quite
going to losing your dog, but okay, but it's what
(30:30):
if Halloween means a big deal? Sometimes?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, sometimes you just need I mean, you gotta find
your motivation, right.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
You go. I took that personally. They killed my dog.
Two they stole my Halloween bowl of candy from my house,
and now I'm on a rampage. You felt violated, man,
Now I get that. It's a new Halloween. John My
Halloween movie.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
There there you go, starring David Pumpkins, who did.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
You say David Pumpkins. Who's David Pumpkins a character that
they had with Tom Hanks's It sounds like an adult
film name. Hey, David Pumpkins is in this movie? Do
you see David Pumpkins won the I think it's actually
David A. Pumpkins. That's even better. David A. Pumpkins, start
s Pumpkins, David S. Pumpkins. So David S. Pumpkins.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Okay, all right, that's like doctor Frank and Furder, Okay,
more or less. So it's gonna be hard to top
Matt Eberflus's press conference from the day ago where he
couldn't even let anybody know if quarterback Justin Fields was
doubtful or out Yeah for tonight's game. And we had
a lot of fun with that. So let's see what
(31:42):
Matt Eberflus, Bears head coach, had to say following the
Bears win tonight over the Panthers in a Thursday night
football game watched by dozens, I mean watched by millions
of people. It was a thriller watch by millions across
the country. Let's hear from Matt Eberflus.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
You see what was up.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
I don't know what's up yours.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
That was the teaser that So someone asks you to
play up your sleeve? What's up yours?
Speaker 5 (32:14):
See?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
What was up your sleeve?
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Did you use it? I don't know what's up yours?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Now he's a bleeping comedian. I told you he's gonna
be all smiley and chesty. There he is. Hey, people
like my weird ass press conference a day ago. I'm
gonna really raise the stakes the next day. Double down, man,
let's go. Here's what I'm watching you to. I want
you to ask me at the press conference if I
used then he plays up my sleeve because I got
a one line. I'm going right back at you and sing.
(32:40):
It's like it's like the comedian's gotta plant in the audience.
That's gonna so now you're gonna heckle me and then
I'm gonna come right back at you, because that's what's
gonna be fun. Oh okay, great, I mean really come
at me hard.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
All right?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And tysher you got that? Okay, very good? All right?
So Lesier from Maddie The Cuts up your Sleeve The
comedy side of Bears head Coach Matty before the consideration
was given two seven points and that wouldn't be when they're.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Trying to drive them.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Yeah, you know, we were just one of the stacked
points up there, you know, really one of the stack
to points up there.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
It was it's that type of game, you know.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
We we thought that our defense was playing really well
and we know it was going to be a close
game at the end.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
My way away, stop for one second, sop for one second,
stop for one second. So the question was about when
they scored the touchdown to go up fifteen to ten,
they kicked the extra point to go up sixteen to
ten instead of going for two to go up seventeen ten. Yeah. Now,
all he's got to do is say, well, at that
point in the game, two field goals, we didn't want
to lose the lead. That's all you have to say.
Stacking points, dude, it's one more point. It's fifteen to sixteen. Yeah,
(33:52):
that sounds that stacking points. That's like, that's like putting.
That's like it's like when you're playing Chenga and you've
got to put the one little thing on the top
of the big tower. You're not stacking points. Not like
we got a touchdown and it were stacking on the
touchdown on top of it. It's you got a touchdown
and then talk about kicking the extra point. Just say, hey,
at that point in the game, it wasn't a one
possession game. The Panthers didn't have to drive down a
(34:14):
gopher broke. If it was that point, we would have
gone for it, but instead went up by two field goals.
It's an easy answer. We wanted to stack points. Oh,
they got from fifteen to thirty. No, it was fifteen
to sixteen. I mean, your stackings is really a way
just to hype up your defense.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Talk about the fact that Sweat had the pressures that
he did on Bryce Young all all game long, and
that you were confident that your defense was going to
force them to make multiple drives.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Instead your stacking points. We're stacking points, man, We're.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Stacking I made Look, you were almost halfway to the
average allowed by the Panthers in their previous road games.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
He gave up thirty six a game coming into this one.
Were stacking points? All right, Let's go back to the
press conference, and here's some more from Mattie Refleu. Really
come at me hard. I'm sorry, wrong one Wow, you
got that. You cut that up really fast, had to.
He's a talented man. That's really good. Wow, that was
actually ebra flues. That was okay, very nice. I'm a man.
(35:12):
Let's go go back to that flu that.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Our defense is playing really well and we know it
was going to be a close game at the.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
End that time.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
He told the broadcast he had something up your sleeve?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
What were you into speeding?
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Did you get to everything that you wanted to get
to the second half? No, no, we didn't, but we certainly,
uh you know, had a good plan coming out there.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
And uh again it was a defensive game.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Uh this this this weekend.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
Uh, I thought the guys did a nice shot finished
in the game that we were.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Supposed to and uh we did good. Did we see
what was up your sleeve? Did you use it?
Speaker 5 (35:45):
I don't know what's up yours? To throw?
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Yeah? What was the discussion? Like?
Speaker 5 (36:00):
And a couple of players are there They said they
were a little.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
Supper, But no, I mean there's really a decision there.
You have right, you know, so if you decided to run,
you know at that time, then you've got a punt
and pin and they would have they would have had
minute ten with no timeouts, you know, and hopefully on
the ten yard line if we if we punt it right,
you know, So that was the idea there. We liked
the play call, you know, we like to play call.
(36:24):
We discussed it and we went for it, and we
thought that executed well. Moving made a beautiful catch and
you know, he's one yard, passed the stick and sealed
the game. So really good play call by Luke, excellent
execution by the old line of the entire offense, and
Moody on the catch and Beijing on the throw.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Okay, So what he's talking about there is the play
that really pissed me off. At the end of the game.
The Bears have the ball at midfield and they're facing
a third down the I believe, I believe he's incorrect.
I got to go back and look at this, but
I'm pretty sure the Panthers were out of timeouts with
a buck ten left to go and the Bears facing
(37:03):
that third down call. You think he knows that, I'm
telling you, man, I really think that he's got that incorrect.
Where was it was third down for the Bears, third
down in about seven and if they ran the ball,
they would punt it deep, and I think the Panthers
would get it with about twenty seconds left in the game,
(37:25):
all right, I don't believe they had a timeout left
which took minute twenty six. Yeah, so Matt Eberflus doesn't
know what was going on in the game at that such.
It was third and seven. He doesn't know what twenty six.
So they run the ball and they, let's say they
don't get the first down a buck twenty by the
time the clock goes and starts and punting, you're talking
(37:48):
about twenty seconds left. He didn't know the game situation.
That's what he did. He did not know the game situation.
He's Matt Eberflus. I mean, but think about that. He
did not know the game situation at that point, because right,
third time out, but twenty six, right, that was it.
They're not getting the ball with a minute ten because
you don't keep getting time outs. You can't take time
outs and other games. He did not know the games.
(38:09):
Most of your guys didn't run out of bounds. You
were right, You run the ball, the ball forming up
the middle. If he doesn't get the first down minute twenty,
I mean, you're gonna get They're gonna get the ball
pinned deep with about twenty seconds left and no timeouts
to getting a field goal range. Uh, you didn't know.
He didn't know. He didn't know, He didn't know the
situation of the game.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
See, this was another opportunity to just go back to you.
We really trusted our defense and thought if we dialed
up a good play and if it didn't work, our
defense was gonna be able to hold.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
And the thing is throwing the football at that point.
What that did. This is why I didn't like the
call beginning was that it's third and seven because with
no timeouts left, you punt the ball away third and seven.
You throw the ball with a quarterback that is not
a great quarterback. You don't throw to your best receiver.
You throw to a guy that almost traded before the deadline,
and you throw it a double coverage and you get
(39:00):
lucky that Mooney comes down with the catch. You get
lucky he comes down with the catch. It was a
stupid decision, and now it's even stupider. Now it's even stupider.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Well, his logic obviously fails and his explanation is faulty
in a million levels.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
But in the end, guy made a great throw. Was
it the right play call? Was it the right decision
as it was happening? Color me intrigued? IY like chaos.
I like when they don't know down distance and situation.
You know why, because it gives us more stuff to
talk about. And for once in the eber Flus era,
things went his way. Wow. But just to sit there
(39:37):
and say they had a time outlet didn't have a
time out? And Jason shocked about this? I mean, come on, man,
I know who you're.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Dealing with, right, this is just another line on a
Wikipedia page, leep in sideline that.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
No, man, there's other people that know. It's heddy dude. No,
they're out of timeouts, no timeouts. Run the football twenty
seconds left. Wow. Wow, that's your head coach, and I
think the Jets skull on my head coach, your head coach,
vote for him?
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (40:05):
I didn't hire him. Wow. That's unbelievable. We should have
never come back. We gotta we're stealing straight out of Rocky.
We should have never come back coming back in twenty
twenty three. That is really is amazing. Did you say, wow,
the call time out? They could have called time out. Wow,
