(00:51):
tell you right now, Thursday night football is at halftime
and Carissa Thompson still has a job.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Those things are both true.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
He is hosting the Amazon halftime show. Don't know what
she's saying, don't know if anything is the truth, but
she is working.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
She has a job. Well at this point, just read
the score, read the box score. Then I got a
double check it, and I got a double check it
Is it really twenty one to ten? Is it really
twenty one? If I see it become twenty one? Really
twenty one? D Did Rashad Bateman actually hold on to
a pass in the end zone?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Did a coach actually tell me the score is twenty
one to ten? Did they actually tell me what the
score is?

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:29):
It is a uh pois a lot of anger. We
could just read tweets for about four hours from media luminati.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
I'll tell you that's a story we're going into coming
up in about fifteen minutes that I can't tell you
how mad, like I was sports mad about the way
the Broncos won the game against the Bills Monday night,
because they did everything wrong and they still won the game.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
I was sports mad this. I am just mad mad.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
You're mad?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
You're mad, mad mad mad about this?

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, I on like so many left, Like there's so
many things wrong about this, this Carissa Thompson thing. But
let's begin with Thursday night. Let's go with that with
something that's really wrong according to the league.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I mean, we're gonna get to that coming up in
about fifteen but Thursday Night Football twenty one to ten,
that's the truth. The Ravens have the lead over the
Bengals at halftime. It's been a great first half for
Lamar Jackson. He's near two hundred yards passing a couple
of touchdowns. Watching him play in the first half, you
can tell there's a difference in him for what we've

(02:29):
seen so far this year. He makes different reads. He
doesn't always tuck it under and go. He's much more
judicious with when he decides to run with the football.
Now and look, the Ravens are playing pretty well, and
it's a little bit different. Hey, not so much where
it's like, Okay, we're just gonna limit the way you run.
It's just, hey, sometimes I look at him and I go,

(02:50):
that's where he would have run, but he waited an
extra couple of seconds because he knows, Okay, this is
where the pattern's gonna go, and it's gonna develop a
little bit more. I can get the ball there. And
that's kind of what I see from him in the
first half. Has been a big master's class in it.
But that's kind of what I've seen from him so
far throughout the season is there's times where he would
have just tucked it and run. And that's when it

(03:12):
is rushing attempts up to fifteen, seventeen, eighteen twenty, but
a lot less now because he's staying with the play
a little bit longer. And that's a really good thing
for me.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
But it's something we've been talking about, and it might
be to Josh Allen's detriment that he's kind of doing
the same thing right, not taking off with reckless abandon
the same way here in the final drive of the half.
But Josh Allen's just throwing it downfield, say hey, wow,
but usually on third and long. You know, Yes, that
second interception the other day was terrible. I'll still die

(03:40):
on the hill of Hey, Gabe Davis catch the bleeping ball?

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Well, am I wrong?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
No?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
No, he shouldn't have the first. But he's got ten
other ones, and not of all of them were good.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
We could go off not all of them. I can
probably excuse a couple of He's got a lot of
bad incompletion over going on, there's a lot of terrible
there's no question it. But just to you know, bring
that full circle in terms of guys who usually just
tucked the ball and Ran Alan's doing the same thing
with Lamar Jackson a little bit more trust and faith

(04:13):
in his wide receivers, aided by a number of pass
interference calls. Here they did have a long touchdown pass
that wasn't negated the penalty. You could argue the letter
of the law spirit of the law in terms of holding.
When wide receivers are getting called for holding calls, I
kind of chuckle most of the time. All right, he
had a handful of jersey. But to your point, yeah,

(04:34):
it's a good spot. Hendrickson has played well. Does it
dosn't matter Cincinnati defense. You've seen Lamar Jackson take advantage
of it, and a couple of guys who you normally
don't see in the box score with the TD next
to their names, Nelson Aguilar and Rashad Bateman. I mean
Bateman scored the touchdown and then I thought he fainted
because he did a thing of collapsing in the end zone.

(04:56):
Was like, oh, I caught a pass. I caught this one.
It doesn't happen to me ever, I got it. Meanwhile,
you know, Tyler Boyd is still looking to hold on
to a ball eventually, But for the Ravens, I had
no doubt that they'd come out with a big effort
after that collapse against Cleveland on Sunday. Now it's a
matter of can you finish right? Can you finish the
job because that has been a problem historically for Lamar

(05:19):
Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Tonight, Joe brought you by Progressive Insurance. Progressive makes bundling

So there's the raven side of it. They look to
be bouncing back very well. Now we get to the
big side, the Bengals trailing twenty one to ten, maybe

(05:45):
playing the rest of this game without Joe Burrow. We
got trouble in Burrow ahead. Joe Burrow coming into this
game with an injury he may or may not have
had on his right.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Really was not disclosing with accordance to the NFL rules.
You such thing.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
You had video of him getting off the bus getting
to Baltimore yesterday in advance of the game, and video
caught him walking and he had some kind of brace
around his wrist and Burrow and this is how smart
Burrow is, Like, there's no way he sees that camera
shooting him, but he sees the camera and he moves
his hand very quickly to go okay, but the camera

(06:26):
got a little bit of it. So wait a minute,
Joe Burrow have a wrist injury or not? What's going on?
Burrow plays in the first half and what happens. He
has left the game with a wrist injury, questionable to return.
You see pictures of it. Doesn't look good. He tried
to throw the ball on the sideline and he was

(06:48):
in a lot of pain. You could see him trying
to throw the ball after he comes out of the
game and he just shakes his head no, and then
he gives a big f bomb and he goes to
the locker room. So his questionable to return. Here's how
the true sideline report came in about Joe Burrow and
what's going on.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Meanwhile with Burrow, Kaylee, what do you know, guys?

Speaker 5 (07:09):
You saw the second throw he attempted to make. I
saw the first just seconds before that.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
He cannot grip the ball. He could not raise his elbow.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
You know about above a ninety degree angle as he
tried to release that ball. He's obviously in pain. He
hit the ground after he attempted that first throw. You
see the recoil, the reaction there. Now he's headed back
to the locker room.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
All right, Now, that is a true setting.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
That's not Chrissa Thompson, right, No, we're okay, okay, that
is That is a true sideline report, and that is
that is where we are up to date right now
with Joe Burrow.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
The big question here is, wait a minute, were you
hiding an injury your quarterback coming into this game? Well,
because when he did the purple hiding an injury? Yeah,
because when he did the the purp walker, the whatever,
the catwalk or whatever we want to call it, the
entrance into the stadium.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
No brace, you're on, right, said friend on the catwalk,
but whatever we're calling it, right, it's a fashion show.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
He was into East.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's still at the point where the NFL it's it's
him walking walking into the stadium.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
That's okay, well, same thing, but arms swinging. Look, I
got no brace on my head. Look at me, Hey,
got no strings on me. I know you look good.
I'm going Are you actually going, I was going ultrono. Okay, good,
because I gotta explain, you know, I gotta explain Pinocchio
to I gotta explain what's before Generation X, what's before?

(08:32):
Did you did you like the Tom Hanks?

Speaker 4 (08:34):
I did.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
I gotta explain it to the greatest generation.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
But the.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Did I want? Did you like the Tom Hanks one?
Or no? The Peto? It was okay, I thought unnecessary,
but okay, yeah, I mean I say, there go who
green lit that and said we need that? Somebody need
somebody people know. But see, if you're waiting to theaters
like this is another case of it went straight to streaming.
I think this was there'll be a earth of quality
stuff in the theater and then COVID hit. It's like,

(09:03):
ah damn, it goes straight to video, straight to streaming.
But yeah, the Joe Burrow video that went up and
then got pulled down, I'll give Amazon credit. They actually
showed it in his part of the telling guest, Hey,
here you go. This was part of the history. They
had to preface it by saying, this is actual video.
This is actually well everything becomes actual actual video. You

(09:24):
know how much I hate the you know this actually
this is pretty good. Actually, my kids do that every
once in a while. Actually something Actually, what you thought
it was gonna suck. I've been feeding you forever. You've
never shoved the plate away with a complaint before. Now
we're getting the report. I see it on Amazon. Zach Taylor. Now,
I don't know if he told a sideline reporter or not,
And I don't know which sideline reporter he taught. Who

(09:44):
was it?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
The jokes just right themselves. You are probably not going
to see Joe Burrow the rest of the night. He's
got an ear piece in, he's on the sideline. It
doesn't look like he's coming back. And we have Jake
Browning back on the field for the first half of
the third quarter. So it looks like Joe Burrow is done.
And the big questions are going to be at the end.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Was he hurt? What happened?

Speaker 1 (10:07):
As you heard second throw of the game, couldn't grip
the football, couldn't throw it?

Speaker 3 (10:11):
What happened? It wasn't there. This is gonna be a thing.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
And now, at very least the Bengals they have three
and a half hours ago, Well, all right.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
We got them, and we got it. We're gonna figure
out way to explain this. Well, may be better than
all of our teams, right, yeah, well Stanley actually stands up.
He may be wrong, but he stands up. Sala terrible
eber Flus and it's a damn clown show. So let's
see if they're any better. What do you got, Frostburg.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
Well, according to Carrissa Thompson, guys, they're going to amputate
his hand and he is questionable to return.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Wow, dude, he is he gonna get a ball like
Mark Hamill in Star Wars.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh no, no, no, he gets the Bucky Burr, the
Bucky of Barnes arm like Avengers.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, yeah, get on, You're never knocking that ball out
of his head if he has a big game, Does
that get sent to the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 4 (10:57):
No?

Speaker 3 (10:57):
No, no, Come, there's the bionic arm.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
The industries can't just keep making arms. I mean, he's
got to keep that on now. When it comes time
for his next upgrade in the arm, they'll bring that
arm to the whole.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Is it genuine vibranium or are we on a test first?

Speaker 4 (11:12):
No?

Speaker 1 (11:12):
I think by this time it's genuine vibranium. Okay, I've
be come on, we can't. I mean, the genuine test
vibranium is so like six years doing vibranium and unobtainium.
How terrible are we at naming things? And I don't know,
I kind of like vibranium better than unobtainium. Well sure, unobtainium.
Just you're trying to make it seem like it's a
real story. But here's a wink and a nod.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
None.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
No, no, you have a vibranium because the other side
right then you have the adamantium for Wolverine.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
You don't. We're just following into his story starts saking
a bunch of adam atas well, there's not many am
at the room at the top strip. Oh and then
then when he went decided to go, didn't he go
a little bit uh uh, swing dancing a little bit
adim that I that I think he had a little time. Okay,
But yeah, the other thing with Baltimore is we also

(11:56):
lost Mark Andrews because that's a story that's going to
go because he got fell by one of those hip
drop tackles right that you slide down that they try
to say they're gonna legislate what you're you supposed to do.
Let him go. I can't get you on my first grip.
You know what, I gotta legend keep keep spritting out. Couldn'tactly.
So he's down his ankle ankle injury. He's out of

(12:18):
the game. So we're watching the the Ravens adapt. But yeah,
the Joe Burrow injury is something seriously the NFL is
going to have to uh have some answers for at
some point. Well, guys, that means for the Bengals.

Speaker 6 (12:31):
According to Carissa Thompson, they're gonna work out Aaron Rodgers tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
And he's he's good, right, he can see they can
activate him on Monday.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yes they can. Wow. That escalated. We get really good
up to the minute. Thanks Frostburg, you're really on your
game tonight.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
I'll tell you what now now allegedly now another true
update that that I got it. It's true. I got
it from Steve to say did. Joe Burrow has been
officially ruled out for the rest of this game. So
it's the Jake Browning Show for the rest of the.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Night and TJ We're gonna watch Browning rifle the ball
downfield for the rest of the night. He's gonna try
to big drive Browning.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
According to Thompson, yeah doubt.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
This joke is gonna go for days. I'm hearing sources saucers.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
But I like you trying to get Browning, nagel brown
Browning fanagally a win for all right. I've done with Brownings.
I think that's it for Brownings.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
There's not many.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
There's Tom Browning, but too soon, Tom Browning trying to
be perfect like Browning?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
What okay?

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Anyway?

Speaker 6 (13:41):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Twitter? And how about a fresco Mike and Swollendo. But
trust me, there's your big controversy coming off this game,
and we're gonna be all over it. Later on, did
the Bengals hide Joe Burrows injury because he came in
clear looked like he was dinged up? Second player of
the game, second pass the game, couldn't grip the football?

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Hang on a second? That your big, big deal? Can
you get an Elizabeth RJ Barrett Brown I gotta explained
to like before the Gregor generation.

Tyreck dot Com the way tire buying should be. Ravens

to go in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Joe Burrow is out. We'll have more on this game
coming up at a minute, but a little bit more
on the Corrisa. Thompson thing, which is a story that's
just getting big and bigger, and we talked about it
last hour and how awful this is for anyone in
the media, and just her brazenness about not caring that
she made up stories when she was a sideline reporter,

(15:12):
the fact that she told the story before but it
didn't get picked up, so she wanted to tell it again.
Christa Thompson goes on a podcast today for Barstool Sports,
and admits that when she was working sidelines in the
NFL Sideline Reporter, she would make up interactions with a
coach coming out of halftime.

Speaker 7 (15:29):
So I haven't been fired for saying it, but I'll
say it again. I would make up the report sometimes
because a the coach wouldn't come out at halftime or
it was too late, and I was like, I didn't
want to screw up the report. So I was like,
I'm just going to make this up because first of all,
no coach is going to get mad if I say, hey,
we need to stop hurting ourselves. We needed to be
better on third down, we need to stop turning the
ball quarterback. Yeah exactly, and do a better job of

(15:52):
getting off the field. Like they're not going to correct
me on that. I'm like, it's fine, I'll make up
the report.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
It's fine that whole It's fine.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
I can make it up. That's what pisses me off
so much. But to take a different angle, because there's so.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Many angles on this story, why would she do it right?
Why would you make up reports when you didn't talk
to a coach and I guarantee you when you're in
a position like that of hey, you're a sideline reporter
if it comes down, because lots of times it's hard
right because the coach is coming out. Maybe they don't
get down to you right at halftime, Maybe the coach

(16:26):
doesn't feel like talking. Maybe the coach for whatever reason,
maybe your cameraman is shooting something somewhere out. Whatever it is,
there's times when you don't get the other coach. And
if it happens too many times, how long until the
production staff, you're big producer, executive producers go why is
she down there?

Speaker 1 (16:44):
If she can't get the coach? If we can't, if
we don't have we don't why is she down on
the sideline if we can't get the coach. And I'm
part of it is probably, Hey, I want to justify
and I'm afraid for my job because if I can't
get the coach after a while, first they're gonna say,
we're gonna put somebody down there who can. We're gonna
put somebody else down the who's gonna wait for the
coach and talk to them on the silent because why
can't you get the coach?

Speaker 3 (17:04):
And I get it.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
I get the coaches don't do it, so why would
she do it. There's your reason, because hey, I can't
I can't have go through here and worry about they
want to replace me, or I'm not doing my job right,
or I'm gonna get in trouble. So I'm just gonna
make it up. I'm just gonna make up that I
talked to a coach that he told me what it is.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
Now.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Obviously, not to play both sides of it here for
a second. Obviously some of the coaches didn't care because
we would have known by now if she's done this
a bunch of times, and you know, a coach had
to finish a game. Maybe coaches don't know because really,
you don't get anything from the coach at half time anyway.
I mean, has anybody asked the coach, hey, did you
really tell Chris of Thompson the sideline that we needed

(17:45):
to get at the quarterback more in the second half.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
No, I didn't even talk to her, huh. Now, But
that's the thing innocuous.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, potentially this could be something that coaches have known
about but they don't care, or it could be something
that has just never come up, because when do you
really dive into what a coach said at halftime to
somebody after a game. Does anybody ever say, coach at halftime,
you said in the second half, Keaton Mitchell was going
to get the football more and he didn't.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, right last week, Yeah saying that right? Right.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
If I don't say anything and she says something very benign,
is it going to get back to the coach? And
no one's gonna say at the end, at the end
of the game and go, hey, so people told me
on the broadcast at halftime, you told Carissa Thompson that
we have to be able to run the ball more
in the second half. What was that all about, Like, like,
that's not something that's gonna but that's just it. Nobody's
gonna care like.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
And I think that was her point to this of
you know, it's innocuous, kind of evergreen captain obvious things. Right,
we turned the ball over three times. We've got to
take care of the football. We gotta we gotta cut
down on penalties. We had eight for seventy yards in
the first half. I mean things that you know, Joe
Joe six Pack and anybody you know that knows anything
about the sport, they're captain obvious kind of statements, right,

(19:03):
So you can to a degree get away with it.
Does it make it right that you fabricate it? No,
But that's not where a coach is gonna get get
out of sorts. So I never talked to her, where's
the wing?

Speaker 1 (19:16):
But she goes on there and says, hey, I talked
to Robert solid halftime. He said, Aaron Rodgers is gonna
play quarterback in the second half.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Wait what?

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean that you're not gonna say that.
She's gonna say generic stuff to make it just say, hey,
I did my job right, It's not gonna be Hey.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
I was really upset why she you know, like the
coach said, he was really upset with that, you know,
pass interference call. Thought it was bogus, you know something
where you get deep in the weeds on a plane.
You're not doing it. But again, I like to know
the production folks on the field and those in the
truck how they feel about this statement getting its run today.

(19:53):
People that she worked with now again it's years since
she's been on the sideline. Because that's the other thing.
You've got it, You've got some distance. I don't have
to care. Hey, good, I got jobs. I've got my
other house. Decorated.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
I'm a star.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
I don't got a bunch of commercials. They have me hawking, uh,
you know, vegimatic kind of things. At halftime of Amazon Ship,
I made up stuff on the way to the top.
I made up stuff because I didn't care. I made
up stuff. And that that's it. You can't make stuff up.
I don't care where you come down. You can't make that.
You can't be a member of the media and make
stuff up. If you make stuff up, we're gonna find out.

(20:26):
It's the worst thing you can do. And yes, do
we have people that do that now, Yeah, we've seen
We've seen it all over the place. But you get
found out. This is something that wait a minute, you
can't just go and admit and then admit you made
it up and then act like it's not that big
a deal because I'm a star. Now, I don't do
this anymore. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Hey, good luck all you other sideline reporters trying to
make your way. Yeah, I know I could have made
it easier for you and really open some doors, but
instead I'm making it more difficult for you to do
your job. Now, good luck, good luck with that.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, but it opens up to a lot of other criticism,
and certainly you saw it in your social media, and
you've got current side line reporters, those that you know hustled,
you know, before Carissa was in the role, and on
on down the line. Now you add elements of you know,
race and people citing privilege and all the like, it

(21:15):
starts to really wrap a whole lot of other issues
in terms of promotion. Uh and whatever fairness, I guess
is the word a lot we're using in terms of
promotion and how you obtain information, disseminate information and who
gets the chances to move up the ladder and how right? Wait,

(21:37):
I could have fabricated stuff and I would have been
able to bounce up the ladder. So now you've got
a lot of other producers fielding questions today. You know
she was doing this? Did you know she was doing this?
Did you know? How do you feel about this? Did
you know? What is your statement on this? So you know,
mister producer, man, I.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Feel like I'm watching the last season of the Wire
where the guy gets famous, sorry a spoiler, guy gets
fits like wins a pulletzer because he's just made up
stories because he couldn't talk to anybody who just made
up stories all the way And I hated that that
plot line that this guy goes all the way up
and he wins, and they protected him at the paper
because they were winning awards, and the one guy who
knew he was doing it, they shouted him out and

(22:15):
then they shut him down. And I've felt it was
such a great storyline, but I feel like it's the
left season the wire where I'm watching the guy just oh,
I'm making stuff up and getting all the way to
the top on it. But that's it, right, It's now
what what falls out from this?

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Right?

Speaker 3 (22:29):
The first thing is other than everybody taking to Twitter
to say, you know how abhorrent and awful it is
and how dare you be smirch my name on all
of those things? That's what we've gotten all day.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, I'll tell you. I'll tell you two things. First thing,
it's gonna be which way does the wind blow? And
then to see just how upset? How bad does this get?

Speaker 4 (22:49):
Right?

Speaker 1 (22:49):
How bad does this get? Because she's not said anything today,
she has not put out any kind of apology or
statement or anything else, and I don't think she's going
to because the way she talked about it, I don't
need to worry about this now you sorry.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
On the sidelines, get ready to go to do the halftime.
But could it get to a point where if NFL
teams get mad or hey, wait a minute, this happened,
is that then she's got to say something. Yeah. The
other thing is gonna be there's never gonna be a
report from the sideline again, unless involving something with a coach,

(23:23):
unless it's on camera, like, you're not gonna find out, Hey,
what did Bill Belichick say coming out a second Well,
he told me coming out of the tunnel that they
got to do this this, and no one's gonna believe
they can't do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
So it's gonna be we just blow off the report
if you can't get him on camera. That's that's the
first thing you're gonna sae, cause can't believe there's gonna
be anybody who's gonna put somebody on because now think
about it, if you're that person, if you're Tracy Wolfson,
if you're somebody else, and they go down to you
before the second when the second half starts and they go, hey,
you watched the first half, what did Robert sala have
to say after the first half of Jets Bills. Well,

(23:55):
I talked to Robert Salak coming out of the tunnel
and he told me we have to run.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
The football more. Zach is playing great. We love Zach Wilson.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Whatever it is, people are gonna walk away from that
watching that, and they're gonna laugh. I go, she's probably
making that up even at just as a joke or
a punchline. But no one's gonna take that serious. So now,
people like Tracy Wolfs or whoever else is on the sideline,
Pam Oliver, I're gonna sit here and go. Now, every
time I come on TV and I say something that
happened on the sideline, people are gonna wonder if I'm
telling the truth or not.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
That that's a big thing.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
So now unless people are on camera for something like that,
you're not gonna have that and and that Now you're
taking away something that people do for a living. You're
taking away the the legitimacy of the media, and you're
making and you're giving people oxygen to say, I don't
think what you're telling me is the truth. How do
I know what you're telling me is true? How do
I know anymore when when when you're job, what's a
factual job to report on events and tell you what happened.

(24:46):
It's different than us being in the studio here and saying, hey,
I think Jet's got to get rid of Robert Sala,
which I said the other night. I didn't say Jet's
got to get rid of Robert Sala. And I know
a lot of people in one Jet's drive think the
same way I do. Wait, you talked about well, I
talk to people.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
And tell the you know what, who whoa? Wait who whoa?
That's that's different. Now I don't say why say this
is what the Jets need to do. I would assume
that's right, though I talk to people. No, no, no, no,
not that you talk to people, but just the Jets
want to fire Robert Sala. There's enough people in the
building that probably are okay with Robert Salad and fired.
So what you're saying while the I talked to people

(25:21):
part is wrong. You know, your conclusion is probably right.
But yeah, for sideline reports, I mean, the big thing
for me has always just been about injury reports. And
then maybe if you get a little bit of a
glimpse of hot hand workload. Maybe they give you all something,
but normally that's a ration. And now if you get

(25:42):
injury stuff, you could you trust well, I don't trust
anything anyway, And look at the Joe par thing. It's
all been BS for years anyway.

Speaker 6 (25:49):
Guys, and it's just in from Charisatol have just fired
Robert Sala.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Wow man, who's a new head coach. Rex Ryan's back?

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Okay, all right? Because I heard either Rex Ryan or
Jeff Fisher. Because the Jets field they can get to
seven and nine.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
Well per Charissa Thompson, Jeff Fisher is never going seven
and nine again.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
But if it's Rex Ryan, it puts him on very
good footing.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
To touch him again.

Speaker 6 (26:15):
I see what you did there, per Charissa Thompson. Guys,
he likes feet.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Wait, hang on, really beautiful feet.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Hang on, ty shirt? How did you have that so fast?
I mean, we haven't talked about Rex Ryan and the
foot thing in a lot. How did you have that
so fast? It's always about the Antica patient.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Jason, I think you're lying to me.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
What if I were to tell you that it was
actually his phone ringing.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Per Chrissa Thompson.

Speaker 6 (26:41):
Jason, she let me know that that would be a
prominent figure in this segment, so I had him available.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
All right, very okay, so you knew already, Yeah, okay,
all right, good very She does a good job. Meanwhile,
so look this is Look, we're gonna spend a lot
more time on the Chris of Thompson thing.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
But look, I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
That was exactly why she did it, why she made
it up, and why it's so bad she did. And
I hope at some point she understands what she did
was really bad. But it doesn't look like it.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Oh, the ends justified the means. Look at the career
and look at the path. I mean, once upon a
time she was stuck on fantasy Island with me. You
were on fantasy Island. Well that's what we called the
bit we did with mister Rourke. And I mean, look
how short I am. I might as well have been
tattoos miles. Everyone's now. I guarantee my story ends personally

(27:24):
better than Irvan Villages. Woh okay.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Thirty four to twenty Mike Harmon doing a dancer in
the studio. Jamar Chase catches a short touchdown pass helping
his fantasy yeah team.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
She catches twelve yards in the touchdown. Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
So now he's having an okay night for well, he
didn't have a zero yeah, which is for a while.
I mean they put up the graphic he had run
eight routes with zero targets.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
So the fact that they got into the end zone.
The other thing is, I mean, don't bury the lead.
We have crushed the over in this game. When the
Gusts scored and Tucker put up that extra point, that
was it. We hit the over. I mean you should
have seen, you know, balloons and celebrates. They should have flashed, hey,
twenty percent off something on Amazon right now because we

(28:15):
hit the over. This looks like Washington USC all of
a sudden, This is unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
A minute left to go in the game. The Ravens
are gonna be running out the clock. They lead at
thirty four to twenty. Maybe one or two more snaps
and that's gonna be it. Ravens are gonna go to
eight and three in the Bengals are gonna fall to
five and five and the big question, of course, is
gonna be surrounding Joe Burrow joining us now on the
hotline to break it all down Nobody better NFL on

(28:41):
Fox Insider Extraordinaire. We'll got more in the Unbreakable podcast
coming up in a couple of minutes. It is Jay Glazer, Jay,
what's happening?

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Buddy? Got on boys that we're doing while we're.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Doing better than the Bengals. Certainly they had a rough
and tumble Thursday night.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Yeah, listen, Bars one of those guys that he's a
tu changer. When you lose him, you know, I know
they try to go next man up as really not
the next man up for Joe Burrow. He is. He's
one of the rare few in the league that you
really can't overcome losing him. I mean, look, Zach Keller
is a phenomenal coach. The coaches. I love the coaching

(29:16):
staff over there, Lou Aramo and Brian Callahan, great, great staff.
But Joe Burrow changes changed the culture in LSU, change
the culture here in Cincinnati. Man, losing a guy like that, Listen,
I don't know what the injury is. There was actually
a plum when I first saw it then you know
in set of risks, and as you know, I hate

(29:37):
Twitter doctors. I hate him. People use doctors for NFL
team and now they're you know, call themselves whatever, and
they give you what their analysis is without looking at
an X ray and MRI. I hate it. I despise it.
It's so not fair to these guys. I'm not going
to pontificate on what I think it is. The Only
thing I can tell you is if he's out for

(29:57):
an extended period of time, he already saw much. They
struggled with that calf injury that he had, but he
wasn't one hundred percent. If he's out, he's one of
the rare few guys that's hard for next stan Up.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Well, what do you make of Jay?

Speaker 1 (30:09):
It's not it's not about like what we're going to
see from Joe Burrow. But we had the video a
day ago of him getting off the bus and he
had a big brace of some kind on his throwing hand.
That video disappeared off the internet, and every time you
saw him everything was fine because the.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Old team put it out. So yeah, you don't want
to say you're right, But here's the big guys, here's
where people don't realize, like I have the news about
jail and hurt. So there's knee that you know it
was actually a bone bruise and he got it dinged
at the same exact spot on that it was a
Monday night, came right, and but if you don't miss
any practice on him, they don't have to list it.

(30:44):
So there's this is a game of violence. God's given
hurt everyone, dinged everybody. But if you don't miss the
snap practice because of it, you don't have to list it.
So if Joe didn't miss any content of it, they
don't have to list it. But I don't know if anything.
Zach Seller's, oh, let's try it. You can't hide something.
When a guy's walking around with a wrist sow again,

(31:05):
you might say, okay's risk is tinged up. He had
missed any practice time, Let's protect it in his everyday
life and put a little brakes on it. Because just
like when you're walking around, right, you're swinging your arms
round and you're messing with your friends, it's easy to
just knock into something and try and protect it. But
if you don't miss any snaps in practice, you don't.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Have to listen it was funny, Jay because his walk
into the stadium today he was free swinging that handy.
Everything's good.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Exactly. What Hey, I'm like a bull in a china shop.
I've broken someone damn watches like you kidding me just
from like walking around doing stuff. So I understand protecting it.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Jake Lazer with us The Jason Smithsow with Mike Carbon
Live from the Tirerack dot Com Studios. All right, Jay,
you know looking into this weekend, now we have big games. Good,
there's big games this weekend, and then there is Eagles Chiefs,
which like the entire world stops for that. Uh, going
into your Jason Kelcey already said I don't buy into
revenge games and all of this.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
I mean, we're looking at these two teams, you know,
super Bowl a year ago. The Eagles look like they're
the best in the NFC. The Chiefs are right up there. Again,
How big is this game really? When you look at
it and we ha, it's a midseason game here, How
big is this really?

Speaker 4 (32:17):
All Right? I think it's huge. I think it's huge
for I think it's huge for confidence in case they
see each other again in Super Bowl. But it's big,
absolutely fuck, it's how would you minimize it? Absolutely, it's
a big confidence booster. It's also it's a great marker
for the Eagles, who have two new coordinators. You judge

(32:40):
and see how they're doing. It's great for the for
the Chiefs, Okay, we got some new personnel to new
tackles or serious stuff. To see what their marketer is against,
you know, the best team in the NFC. So I
think it's a great marker.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Phenomenal marker, so Jay.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
One of the big stories coming out of the week
the dismissal of Ken Dorsey, forever known for throwing in
the booth, Josh Allen turnovers and the Bills offense still
one of the top ten from a scoring per game,
but the consistency not there. And what if you you
gleaned from from what's going on there in Buffalo with
Sean McDermott and company.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
I can't figure it out, man, I can't figure it out.
It's something where Josh Allen is e ex freely talented
and man, it's I just I think we've talked about
all year. Loan. Actually, I can't figure it out. They
get too much talent and not play well, not be cohesive.

(33:36):
I don't got the answer for everything, and I certainly
don't have the answer there, and they figure, okay, well
things aren't quicker, we're going to shake something up. I mean,
they're certainly not clicking on offense. So if you want
to shake something up, okay, I get it now. Jay.
On the other side, they got got I kind of
have an answer for everything, right, right?

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Yeah, I know you're a wizard. No, you always do, Jay.
You never say you don't have an answer.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
It's all year long. I'm like, man, I can't figure
this out. Why are they so inconsistent and not on
the same page.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
I don't get it all right, So if you have
an answer everything, and answer me this. Did Aaron Rodgers
get his achilles built in a lab at unbreakable because
then coming back in the middle of December supposedly?

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Oh, because if he did, I would have charged the
hell out of him.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
We never hear from Jay again. He'd be on an eyelid.
He would retire with that.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
I want to slow down on this. About mid December,
it's like two weeks, right, So, you know, there's one
thing about going out there and throwing there's another thing
about getting yourself out of harm's way. He's still going
to need to build this up where you can give himself
out of harm's way. That's the big thing. Like you
can't just at the plus man. Now, you need resch. Now,
you need to get your timing back. Now you're like,

(34:48):
it's almost like you have to go through another camp
a little bit. But I think he needs to slow
his role on the time he Look, if he does
come back that fast, great. You know what they did
though with the Achilles, it's hard to re rupture from
what I understand, with this tight rope urguer they did.
They basically kind of drill or screw the atillies all

(35:10):
the way into the heel. But it's really hard to
re rupture. But I think for him it's you know,
it's getting the mobility backs. But here's the thing. Aaron's
not just a drop back answer. Aaron's greatness is man
him dropping back. He makes the huddle break down, he
rolls out and a second play happens. So he's got
to be effective doing that. And I don't know when

(35:33):
that really is. I know it sounds great from Maren listen,
I will say this, I see what Aaron's done. I
don't know what he can't do, so I'm not willing
to say no to anything. I'm not a doctor. But
if there's one guy who could, you know, show you
something that's never been done before, probably him. But the
only thing I'll caution is man make sure that it's

(35:54):
so strong where you can get yourself out of harm's way,
because the problem is Jets. The biggest problem. It's and
you're gonna think I'm crazy for saying it's not Zach Wilson,
it's the offensive line. Offensive lines are biggest problem. It
doesn't matter who they put back there. At least Zach
Wilson can get himself out of trouble, but and Trevor

(36:15):
Simeon and Tim Boyle can' hey still back there. I
hope people go, oh, you know, make the move, make
the move. I think the reason they're not to the
least Acket got some wheels, can get himself out of trouble.
But the offensive line is really a bat. They're so
baged up there. There was a struggle going into the season,
and then they got so many injuries. So Aaron's gonna

(36:36):
be running for his life a lot. So he's got
to make sure that Achilles is in a place where
he can get himself out of harm's way.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Yeah, I was going to just make the joke at
my friend Jason's expense here and just saying the biggest
problem is the logo on the side of the helmet Jay.
But the let's go to Cleveland, Deshaun Watson, you know,
one hit away from total annihilation of the shoulder and
all the reports coming out of there, Dickson three, the
defense holding up and now we think wistfully of what

(37:05):
might be if Josh Dobbs were still a quarterback in Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Yeah. No, oh my gosh, I mean yeah, I kind
of don't. Yeah, I said, don't really get why they
they let him walk, or either one of those teams
let him walk. Really, Josh Dobbs clearly has a little
special thing about it, kind of almost like Gino Smith,
right man. And you love to see him, man, he's
a great guy, right, just everybody loves him. And you know,

(37:35):
the big thing to him is he's got reel, but
his armor is not great. Boy, his arm is a
pretty damn good. His accuracy and his and his throwers
have been He's just improved. And again Gino Smith and
he just got better and better and worked at it,
got better and better and better, and now there at
the Seahawks vergs to be showing first place. So yeah,

(37:56):
without Josh dons lit Man, that's uh. I'm sure they
wish they had him back, but I'm probably sure they
also wish they didn't give de Shaun Watson a fully
guaranteed contract for all these years.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Jay Glazer with us here, the Jason Spitzer with Mike
Harmon in a very special week by the way.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
By the way, by the way, by the way. This
is what happens when an owner comes in and makes
decisions like this. Yeah, right, owner did this to Johnny Mandel,
who wasn't mean on the board. Hey, let's go get Johnny. Hey,
let's jump in here and get to Shaun Watson for
a fully guaranteed contract. Like man, just let your people
do their business.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
That's how I run my fantasy team, Jay, and he
runs an NFL team that way.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
Ron people who worked at twenty four to seven do
their business. I've had this talk with a lot of owners.
Some of them gotten mad, some of them listens, But
it's true, like I've said, of these owners, hey, would
you let best coach of the league where you let
Mike Tomlin and saw mcsferhay and colle I didn't run
your business, No, Jude, it's totally different. Okay, well, then
why do you you can make a second round pick

(38:56):
because it's totally there's different too. And I was with him.
I'm not going to give you this story, but at cocktails,
I was at Lindsay Vaughan and I look at some
cocktails and I started getting to a particular order and
She's like, Okay, Jay, time to go. Let go, Lindsey.
He needs to hear this. I'm like, why do you

(39:19):
think you can make your second round pickcorn? You don't
do the work. You're not working, you know three sixty five,
twenty four to seven on this. Why do you make
the pick instead of what you guys are doing. You're
where you're good at. You can hire good people to
run these billion dollar companies. Let them do it, not you,
And when you do it, you'll always be in trouble.
And the guys you did it, like Dad's Snider, are

(39:40):
always in trouble. It doesn't change, and it's not changing
for Jimmy Haslam, and you know, you look at the
owner of the Panther's favorite temper. He does the same thing. Man,
Just let your people do their business.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
It's always great, Jay, always great with you. But I
want you to talk about something else that's great. Last
week we talkedalked about your Unbreakable podcast, Part one of
the incredible rescue of Shoshanna Johnson doing it for a
Veterans Day.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
This week is part two of the podcast. Right, it's
how they got out? Is that the what part two.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Of it is.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
It's just incredible. And again for people who don't know
the story, Dona Johnson the first ever African American female
pow in our military history. She's an army that her
and she was caught by Saddam's crew of guards for
twenty two days and paraded around from town to towns,
just like we saw recently what happened with hamasco On

(40:33):
and with the is you know people, they took to
the music festival and they paraded her around and they
shot her ankles out, and they beat her and they
spit at her and they did all these things and
she's like, man, my life is over. And she held
chapped it for twenty two days and I think taking
eight cities and her brothers did not forget about her,
and her Marines came and rescued her. And the actual

(40:55):
marine who kicked the door it out Karnie Russell, who
was just eighteen years old, only a third month in
the military. First story ever kicked in. It's the two
of them together for the first time ever publicly or united.
They've never told a story together publicly on the national
stage like this. And you know, the coolest messages I've

(41:16):
gotten is from Kearnie that his wife and family and
never heard the story. He didn't talk about it, and
now I've heard it. They understand the hero that lives
in their home. And that's the most amazing thing I
can ever hear. And you know, this weekend we did
a little thing on the NFL and Fox and we'll
continue it. And Shoshana, who has been through so much,

(41:36):
she was proud of it. Kearnie was proud of it.
All I wanted to do is give these people who
really really deserve the love, to get them some love.
The folks, you want to hear the most unbelievable story
in your life, Oh listen to that. The crazy part
was is I have them on together Shoshana is like,
I hear the boom boom boom, and Curnie says, that

(41:58):
was me trying to kick the door. And it's not
like it is in TV in the movie where both
of you kick your door and it goes in. It
took me three short trives, so every time I missed,
I thought they were going to kill her. You want
to talk about stress and pressure. But she said to that,
you know, I posted this thing today. We said. She said,
they kicked the door, the damn door down for me.

(42:21):
Maybe kicked the damn door down for me. And the
two of them just talked about like man Pernie, you know,
he was engaged time. Now he's married, he've been a
little to hear about it. Johanna has kids, and he said,
because they saved me, I was able to meet my niece,

(42:42):
which I wouldn't have been able to. And since the
most incredible story of teammates and resiliency and honestly, every
single person in the military who's listened to this, you
all have a hero inside you. This is who you are.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
It is an amazing, unbreakable mental health podcast. Check it
out right now. You can get the link off of
