Now, just to pull back the curtain here a little bit.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Today was our big holiday party, Holiday Holiday Party Holiday
here at Fox Sports radioh and already I got my
first holiday gift because waiting for me when I came
in here is a nineteen ninety one rich Co type
football card.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
There you go, buddy, Thanks buddy, it cost me. I
told you, right, worst head coach in the history. Well,
you know, sometimes you need to be reminded of where
you came.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Ridge koe type, the guy who screwed the Jets out
of Jerry Rice rich cotype.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
No, I was fun seeing everybody there. I had a
lot of folks that work behind the scenes that we
don't normally get face time with, some bosses that we
don't normally get FaceTime with. And then it ended up
being you, me, Rich and Steve talking about New York sports.
Yeah wait, my crap ass teams talking about the Mets,
and a lot about rock music. So I mean it

(01:50):
worked out really well. Yeah. No, but but I always
like getting presents, like I always of my wife said,
I said, I love giving president, but I'd like getting
presents too. And I got the worst at this.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Every time I look at rich Cota and it's a
reminder of how bad the Jets are. So I appreciate that,
and so I just I remember how bad they are.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
The funny thing is really off chind of a couple
of blips on the radar and forty years nothing's changed.
Oh yeah, yeah, like you you you would look at
like a graph and see like a spike here and there,
and it looks like that happened is like an earthquake,
because you know what.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Happens when you add that piece of cheesecake. That's where
your body sugar spiked. And then uh, all the way
along here and right here. Yeah, so here we are
in two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine. There's
your spike, and now you're all the way back down
to zero.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Having had to do those meters for a while all
the way. It's always fun when they you got to
go explain to a doctor what happened here, it's like, oh,
that was the second jacket Kirke my death. My dad
has a meter for his gluecoaster all the time, right,
So just to pull the curtain back even farther, I
could tell the story because my dad's not listening. I
have not been as mad at him as I was

(02:52):
two weeks ago. Uh. You know, Zoe was in the
play it's your school play. Yeah, and they always say, okay,
you know, shut off your phones. Okay, great, So I
always to tell him, Dad, make sure your phone is
shut off because he's got individual rings for people, so
you can get like Welcome to the Jungle, or loving
an elevator, like that's my dad's thing, Like, Dad, make
sure your phone is off, okay, And then in there

(03:13):
and then it's getting hot in near shit. And then
in the middle of the first act, in the middle
of the first act, you hear.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Bet boop, bet it boop bet boo.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm like, whose phone is that? What the hell?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
And I look and I go, oh my god, it's
right next to me. Dad, Dad, your phone, Dad, Dad?
And I'm hitt him, Dad, your phone. He's like what
he can't hear it?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
And then you hear again, bet it boop, bet it boop?
Is it at a rate that only dogs are supposed
to hear it? And I'm like, Dad, give me your phone,
Give me your phone. Hees, what's Oh, give me your phone?
I go, how do you shut it off? And I'm
sitting here, I'm going, this is awful. How do you
shut this?

Speaker 4 (03:45):
All? Right?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Shut it off? And then then we hit intermission and
he goes, give my phone back. What the hell?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I go, Dad, your phone was going off in the middle.
Everybody is looking around.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
He goes, I didn't hear it. I go, what was it?

Speaker 1 (03:54):
He goes, oh that was my glucose meter. It does
remind me I had to take a pill. I go okay,
all right, So you know that the entire first act,
the entire front.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Bet boop, better boop, take a part of the soundtrack.
That's my remix.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
So, here we are on a Thursday night and the
game that we told you last night was going to
be an incredible matchup. The electricity and Ford Field is
through the roof and we are getting a great one
right now. Seventeen fourteen. Lions have the lead over the
Packers early in the third quarter. Uh, it looked like
the Lions were hitting halftime and they were just gonna

(04:32):
start rolling. They get a fourth and one touchdown pass
to Jamiir Gibbs to give him a ten point lead,
and then Jordan Love takes the Packers right down the field.
He had a bad first half. He only threw for
thirty one yards. Big long pass to Christian Watson setting
up a touchdown pass to Tyler Kraft. This makes it
a seventeen to fourteen game. Early in the third quarter
with the over runner for this fifty one and was

(04:53):
fit up to fifty three kicked off. I'm feeling pretty
good right now. But still here are the eleven and
one lines, nine three packers. This will wind up being
the most watched third the night game of the year.
It is that exciting. Now you're gonna really see something.
You had enough points in the first half and now
we're kicking off great in the sec.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Fifty nine yard pass play to Watson the key on
the scoring drive. Five plays, seventy yards a quick one,
So yeah, open the game up. Josh Jacobs scored for
all you fantasy owners. Both Montgomery and Gibbs found their
way to the end zone. But to your point, Jordan
Love just thirty one passing yards in that first half,
and they came out and hit the bomb right right away.

(05:31):
So curious to see how much they stretch and how
much the early runs success that Jacob's had maybe saw
from the you know, the the underbelly of that defensive line,
which we know is missing several component parts there for Detroit.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
You know.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Look, and that's the big thing about the lines, because
it's not sexy to talk about because their offense is
just so good and it's so much fun to talk about.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
You get to the Yeah, but they did that. Who
cares about the line's defense. Great, look at this though,
it's the best off thanks we've seated twenty five years
of the NFL.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
That is blowing teams out, I understand. But the Lions defensively,
they have lost a lot of dudes. They've lost a
lot of dudes over the last few weeks, and that
gets real. I mean, it's gonna be really difficult because
as you get closer to the postseason, you don't you
just don't. Teams don't put up forty points anymore. It
doesn't happen that way. Look, you want to go back
to the Greatest Show on Turf when the Rams got

(06:18):
to Super.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Bowls where they scoring points.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
They won their NFC Championship game over Tampa Bay ten
to nine. So that you want to talk about dark
sides for the for the Lions, we talked about campbelling
because Dan Campbell's gonna do crazy things and make really
ridiculous decisions that are gonna come back to hurt the Lions.
But really, the injuries defensively for them are really hurting
because it's like every week they lose somebody and they
lose a starter in there. You can only put so

(06:40):
much duct tape and and and all kinds of gum
and whatever else.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
You're using to try to put this together.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Because that's the big thing for the Lions is that
we're get in the middle of December now and suddenly
teams are starting to put some points up on them now.
And it's not just well, we can race out to
a twenty point lead, now, it's oh no, no, we're
gonna stay with you enough because your defense, because you're
missing so many players.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
But that's it. You lose reader, you lose some of
these other component parts, and obviously hoping you get many
of them back for the stretch run. But what is
Philadelphia able to do to you? There's your number one opponent.
What are they gonna do with those road graders on
the offensive line and Saquon Barkley running behind him? Oh
that hurts. Guy can take off and run on his
as well. So that's a matchup that suddenly looks that

(07:23):
much worse. And as we're speaking about the prolific Detroit offense,
Jared Goff with a bad interception and now the Packers
are in business again.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'll tell you seventeen fourteen, the Lions had the ball.
This just happened a few seconds ago, Nixon jumps the route.
He's gonna throw a slant inside. It looked like the
coverage was sliding towards Jamior Gibbs is gonna catch a
pass out of the backfield, but he tries to go
for the slant. Nixon jumps the route, picks it off,
gets a decent return. So now the green Bay Packers

(07:53):
are gonna have a first and goal from the six
yard line. And this seventeen to seven lead, where the
Lions felt pretty good going into halftime, they're about to be,
at worst back to an even game.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Plus three actually, and yet at plus three and a
half plus a half, yes, okayeah, all right, let's so
plus three and a half and uh fifty three is
the total. And then an absolute bull rush into the
end zone Josh Jacobs in the end zone for a touchdown.
The Jared Goff interception the Packers make them paid right away,
so that lead is gone. Two touchdowns in the first

(08:29):
four minutes of the second half. Extra point pending for
green Bay now gonna wind up being a It's twenty
to seventeen, likely twenty one seventeen, and it's looked easy
for green Bay. That's The thing about this this beginning
of the second half of the Packers, like they struggled
a lot in the first half, right, I know that
we talked about big first drive right up seven nothing, Yeah,

(08:49):
and that's it, right.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
You know, you talk about halftime adjustments in the NFL
are not that great. It's not that suddenly, hey, we're
figuring things out. But yeah, there are tweaks that are made,
there are strategies that that are that are now implemented.
But the Packers have come out of the gate here
and they have not been slowed down at all. They
had the long pass the Watson, They getting the end
zone easy, this was an interception and two plays later
it's simple.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Into the end zone.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
All of a sudden, the Packers have done whatever they
wanted to in the first five minutes of the second half.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, fewer than four minutes. And well we always talk
about quarters in games, but you know, last four, first four,
and you thought Detroit had taken care of business by
getting their points in the final four of the first half,
but just blitzed out of the gate here and you know,
love opening up with that big play to Watson, single
coverage down the field, just over the top dropped in perfectly,

(09:38):
and now we've got ourselves a much different ballgame and
Jared Goff coming back onto the field after that interception, right, which,
all the year long, it's all been about taking care
of the football. We talked about it last night, the
turnover differential for both of these teams sitting at plus
eight and plus nine Lions and Packers respectively. And you
know the tail of the tape. You know, Josh Jacobson

(10:00):
run game. But who's going to take care of the football.
And what we've seen from George Love, even with that
robust plus minus number, he's certainly giving it away a
lot can't get after you. Sure, sure all the turnovers
that you waited on for years because they were always
the that that defense looks great, they're a great fantasy
sleeper defense, and they never showed up with the turnover rate.

(10:22):
This year, they're giving you that in spades.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swallowed down the Jason
smithser with Mike Carbons. We'll keep you updated on this
game throughout the rest of the night. Again, twenty one seventeen.
If you have the over, like Monts, I'm sure Monsei
has the over on this trying to make her money
back from that Clippers game. She lost a lot of
cash on last night. Yeah, she's mouthing to me, I
have the over. I have the over.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Okay, so they spin the.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Meanwhile, and something we're gonna get into in a bigger
coming up in a few minutes. But I know, I
had to take a couple of different looks at the
computer today when I saw wait, Bill Belichick interviewed for
the North Carolina head coaching job. The North Carolina head
coaching job, Bill Belichick interviewed. Yeah, Now at first I

(11:05):
was upset.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
You.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
I was upset. Why are we upset? Because all the
Bill Belichick, how he's gonna communicate with younger people. All
the best jokes were gone, like.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
All the like all the pictures of him and his
twenty two year old girlfriend, like, all the jokes were
gone already. I'm like, oh, no, I sent you one.
You said, yeah, you did. I can't say it on
the air, but you did something. No, I don't know
about that. I don't know about that.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Well you sure you cand why? You just want something
to happen to me. You can say, hey, it's a
Mike Harmon man. Sometimes you gotta go to the edge.
The same time Hartman's reading, he's got his hand over
the dump button as we're sitting wait for it. No wammy,
no wammy, no wammy.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
No the one the one thing I will say that
we can say. All right now, I'm just kidding. No
the uh Frostburg said. And now I want this more
than anything.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
I want him to get the job just so he
can have a bad game like against North Carolina State
or I don't know, Wake for Ans or something, and
then have to answer questions postgame and just absolutely say.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
We're on to Syracuse. We're on to Syracuse. We're onto Syracuse. No,
it's already been addressed. We're onto Syracuse. I mean proof
of concept that he relates to young kids. Bill, Yeah, yeah,
any showers, Yeah, well yeah he might do that.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Dude, dude, don't don't like coach, don't how much coach.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
How much older or younger is he than Mac Brahm,
don't well, the whole that whole thing. But but yeah,
onto Syracuse.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
And you know it's crazy, you know, it's crazy, even
crazy about this because I thought about this today too.
I'm like, wow, if Belichick gets this, gig at North Carolina,
right And I started thinking. I said, oh man, think
about that, and it just hit me. I said, oh man,
because you know, Manny d as the head coach at Duke.
He and I were production assistants together at ESPN in
the early nineties. I'm like, so this guy, we were
productions together. You know, each go different directions. I go

(12:59):
the broadcast route. He goes the coaching route. That's the
thing here.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
He is.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
He's gonna be coaching against Bill Belichick next year.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Very strange world. It is a very odd world that
we live in. That's so strange. Belichick in college, in
this college A.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Well, he's got the he's got the hoodie and that's
very popular, and call you know, the sweatshirts a very
popular look. He's gonna he's gonna fit in right on campus.
He'll fit in really well right there. Man, Are you kidding?

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Sly, Yeah, yeah, the sleeveless North I guarantee you there's
North Carolina parties going on right now. And it's I'm
gonna take my brand new Carolina spect shirt, the champion
one I got down at the store. Where's bite you
going for Christmas? I will cut the sleeves in it tonight.
You want someone to wear it outside in the snow,
in the rain. I want to be out there two

(13:49):
am tonight just in my huddy, my sleeve is honey man,
I'm feeling really good. That's gonna happen tonight North Carolina campus.
So that it's funny though, is that you've already had
him on The Simpsons, you know, putting the hood up
in the whole nine yards, So now you just take
it to a college campus. But yeah, him in this
nil goes back to what we were talking about last night.
The job you could never do right, go ahead, recruiter

(14:10):
and watching someone flip at the last minute. How the
hell do you think that would go over with Belichick.
We're on a Syracuse.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
We're on a serious We're on a serious We're onto
our next run for Syracuse. Bill, you lost a guy
for twenty five hundred dollars at a best Bite.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
We're onto Syracuse. We're on a serious, We're on.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
A serious exit out about a Fresco exit swallowing down
the Jason Smith Show and The Mike Harmon live from
the tireg dot Com Studios.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Uh, we'll have more. We will ask the big question
about Belichick coming up next, as well as a big
story from today that tells me that the end times
are near, like we are entering ice hockey in hell
starting tomorrow. They're a story today where hell might be
freezing over. It's coming up next right here, Jason Afraid Now,

(14:55):
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Carmen weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
live Fromthtirack dot Com Studios, TNF.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
If you have the over, you're feeling happy. Packers twenty one.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
To seventeen lead over the Lions Detroit, sitting on a
third and goal from the three e Jamir Gibbs run
got them down to the three yard line.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
I assume they will go for it because they went.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
For it on fourth down now all of a sudden,
Dan Campbell's and We're gonna go for it on fourth
down all the time, no matter what, just gonna go
all the time. So I am I assume it's two
down territory, third and goal from the four that if
they don't get in on this play, they will wind
up going for it on fourth down, and Jamier Gibbs
does not get in. He gets down to the Montgomery,
he gets down to the stop, he gets down to

(15:53):
the two. So fourth and goal, I am sure they're
gonna have a play to go for it. First half
they ran a play action passed it mer Gibbs for
a touchdown, and certainly and surely enough, that's exactly what
the Lion's doing right now going forward on fourth.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
No, but it's like we were talking with Rick Buker
last night. Keep shooting three pointers they're better than two's
and eventually, you know math, but you actually have to hateats.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
I always tell whatever I beat, like one of my
friends and they have kids who are playing basketball growing
up and everything else, and uh, and I always say
the same thing. I said the same then go Basway,
I go, Hey, listen, threes and layups. That's all.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
What do you mean? That's all you need to shoot?
Threes and layups, No mid range jump or not. You
don't need anything else. Threes and layups. Don't let the
ball leave your hand anywhere else. That's all you need.
Threes and layups. Okay, coach, all right, great way to
break it down. I mean keep it simple sometimes, because
we did get some feedback about your you know, cozing

(16:50):
up to the city of Detroit.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
People are not happy, I mean cozing up. It's like
my I adopted home. I'm like Detroit's owned Jason Smith.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Like they hate you? What do you mean they hate?
I got I got them to the nfcjoint game. How
about of Frasca quit rooting for the Lions. Those of
US side of the playoffs want Dan Campbell and the
Lions for Super Bowl Week and the game you're a
mush and the Lions are in the end zone on

(17:19):
fourth and goal.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Tim Patrick, who it seems to catch at least once
a week, he catches a really big.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Pass for the Lion.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Now one game when they're blowing teams out, but he
seems to catch a really big pass at least once
a week. And he catches this one on fourth and
goal from the two. It's now a twenty four to
twenty one Lions lead over the Packers. And you know
when you talk about all the weapons they have on
this team, and you know, Saint Brown gets all the
attention obviously in Laporta was an All World tight end
last year, still really good this year. Gibbs is probably

(17:49):
the most talented running back in the NFL. Jared Goff
has found a way to turn into a top five quarterback.
But you know, you need those glue plays once when
you need those glue guys, and is one of those
players that comes along with talent and a locker room
like a kind of calming presence. Because everybody that's ever
played with us, oh we loved him.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
Tim's great. Tim's a great dude. He does this. He
helps his X, Y and Z, and he's one of those.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Guys where a veteran that will be able to calm
everybody down and make a big play once in a while,
kind of like Ricky Proll what he used to do.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
He was like, boy, look at Ricky Pearl making that
big play.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
And fourth and two, they go to Tim Patrick, not
Saint Brown, not Laporta.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Don't try to get it to Jamiir Gibbs.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
They go to Tim Patrick on fourth and two here
in week fourteen.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
No, it's good because the last time they tried to
throw to him, Jared Goff through that interception. So here
he gets his revenge with the score. But like his
is a great story, Like he was becoming a very
reliable option for bad quarterbacking in Denver and then he
misses two whole season, right on the rehab train and
getting himself back into shape and then gets hurt again.

(18:56):
So hadn't played since twenty twenty one. Now he's got
coming into tonight, he already had twenty one catches and
is a good to sit down in a zone and
finding the soft under belly of a defensive setup. So
touchdown Golf twenty four to twenty one. More on this
game coming up.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
We'll get to these sports apocalypse that is now upon
us in a couple of minutes. But a little bit
more on Bill Belichick. We got this story today that
he interviewed with the North Carolina tar Heels for their
head coaching job. This tells me, well, there's one big takeaway,
and there's there's a message that.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
It might say North Carolina is not serious about what Bellichick.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Come on, man, well look, if you're North Carolina, what
else are you gonna do? Who are you gonna hire? No,
it gives you some cash, Okay, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 3 (19:40):
I'd love to see how he rounds out that staff.
Are you kids, who are you gonna hide? It's gonna
Charlie White. So we're gonna be coaches now. Josh McDaniels
will come it. Yeah, no, I'll get everybody.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
But the first thing that tells me is that this
might be Belichick just saying, hey, I'm ready the official,
I'm ready to get back in. I'm serious about it.
And the NFL you can call me too, because there's
no way he wants to go to college over the NFL.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
No, No, this is exactly the Hey, I'm a trojan yesterday,
I'm open for business. I can take a plane ride
and go talk to somebody.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Because as many NFL teams are, you know, wary about
kicking the tires, I'm just want to know how serious
are you to be in this for the long haul
and certainly if you want to go coach college, okay,
this is something you want to do.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Uh So this is that?

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Either that or all the all the prognostication on all
the media predictions of who could wind up with him
in the NFL next year, maybe no one's talking to him.
Maybe all this ol Jerry Jones want him here. This
is one, I'm here, he can coach the Giants, he
can go Uh, maybe that's just nothing but wishful thinking

(20:54):
or stuff that doesn't have a lot of basis and merit.
Because if you know you're going to get one of
these jobs that you would want next year, and certainly
the Cowboys, the Giants, the jobs's been mentioned with that's
fantastic Jacksonville. But the fact that here I am going
to interview here, I mean, he doesn't have to put
pressure on anybody because anybody can come get him if
they want to. So either Belichick is is you know,

(21:15):
sending a message saying I'm ready to come back, or
the NFL has told him, dude, you're not and nobody
we're not going to hire you. And guess what you
have to go, but go someplace else if you want
to coach, Like it's one of those two things, because
this is certainly a lot to unfold with Belichick, and
I just I have a hard time believing that he
wants to go to college where suddenly it's gonna be Hey, Bill,

(21:36):
can you get on the phone with Jerry who? Jerry's
the manager at best Buy. You know, he's a regional manager.
He's got twenty five grand in nil money for that
wide receiver we want out of Stockton, California. Yeah, that
four star kid. Yeah, can you talk to him? You
know better yet? Can you go down and meet him
at his office so we can get that extra fifty
grand from He just wants to talk to you.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Hey, oh hey, Bill, Hey.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
I know it's midnight, but you know that kid we
wanted out of Louisiana, that five star quarterback.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah, he might be flipping.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
He needs to talk to you right now, and he
says if not, he's gonna go to Arkansas.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
So can he just give you a call?

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Right?

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Are you up? But you're doing anything?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I mean, I figure you're up late anyway because you
know your girlfriend's twenty two maybe' up?

Speaker 3 (22:14):
You know, binge watching TV or something? So can he
call you right now? Bill? Can you do that?

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Like?

Speaker 1 (22:18):
I can't believe he's he's okay with getting involved in that.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Like, like, but that's that's the thing, Bill Belichick. You
could see old college rules, right, he's in charge. Here's
the program keep Heep keeping people away in terms of boosters,
hangers on or whatever. I watched it for years when
Indiana would come to uh, Chicago to go see up
in Evanston against the Wildcats, or down to Champagne to

(22:44):
watch the you know when they go play Illinois. And
it was anything he could do to get in and
out of a building and talk to nobody but his
team and whoever he had to deal with on the sideline.
He'd come out of the other locker room, he'd down
the back hallway. You know he use he used me
once as a human shield to get to the bus.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
Right.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
All of that to say, like Bill Belichick strikes me.
It's kind of the same thing that that's the kind
of regime you would want to run and you can't
do that but in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
But it tells me that if he's serious about this,
try because there's a lot of ifs going on with well,
if we're presenting all these scenarios, is this tells me
that I bet you he thinks he if this is
what he really wants, If this isle if this is
not just a way to get the NFL going to
get the juices flowing on him, get some heat on him,
if this is really what he wants to do, I
would guarantee you he wants to do is least the

(23:38):
least amount of coaching possible, the least amount of stuff
he wants it possible that he's going to come in
and he's going to have people to do everything right
because he's seventy two now and it's a different thing.
It's a much more twenty four to seven job than
the NFL is. Even more, it's a twenty eight seven job.
You need four more hours in the day. We talked
about that last night. But it tells me that he's
going to come in and say, I'm gonna be the
CEO of this program, and I'm gonna hire a lot

(24:00):
of guys who are gonna do all of.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
This for me. And yeah, if you need me to
make a phone call once in a while, sure, if
you need me to meet with a with a kid's
uncle who is really acting as his agent, who says, hey,
you know, uh, you know, you know Jimmy from uh tallahassee,
Yeah you had five star running back. Yeah, yeah, listen,
his uncle Dave, who's kind of his agent, says he

(24:23):
needs to talk to you right now, you know, like
once in a while. Will that happen?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, we can clear that, but I guarantee you he's
gonna be He's gonna be the coach. He says, I'm
gonna have so many coaches doing stuff for me, and
I'm kind of gonna be this yer, kind of like
how Bobby Bowden was the later years at Florida State,
Like I'm gonna be the I'm gonna be in charge
of the program and yeah, game days, I'm still up
for him and be a great game day coach. Because
as you get older and you're a coach, I see

(24:48):
where the practices are something that you want to do
it a little.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Less, but you figure out your procedures and there it's
wrote at that point. Now if you have a long
standing relationship with your assistance and not a lot of turno,
which is the key to it. Yeah, looking again, your guys,
look because I'll be honest.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
As I got older, you know, as coaching, you know,
even being a youth coach is like, yeah, I didn't
I don't miss the practices as much as I missed
the games. Like the games are still great, but the
practice is like, Okay, done that for a long time.
Here it's because look, if you're Belichick, you've done it
for a long time, and hey, I'm looking for something
a little bit different. But I guarantee that's how he
sees the North Carolina program. If if they said to him,

(25:25):
how do you see this going, he would say, I'm
gonna be in charge of everything, and I'm gonna bring
in a lot of people, and we're gonna pay him,
and we're gonna make sure that we're recruiting, We're doing X,
Y and Z, and game day is gonna be me
and during the week it's gonna be prep and the
individual coaching that is almost kind of like what Dion
does a little bit now with with Colorado, except maybe
Dan's a little bit more hands on because of that

(25:47):
that's the way he coaches. Belichick's not really that hands
on an individual coach guy. I don't see him driving
the card around yelling at guys on the field like
Dion does. So I would guarantee you that's the vision
he has for North Carolina. Have a lot of people
that can do all these college new college football things,
and that way I can do the stuff that I
want to do, which is coach on the game day,

(26:08):
come up with the game plans, and if I have
to make a phone call once in a while, make
a phone call once a.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yeah, I mean that part of it really does fit
with the history of Belichick. I mean empowered Crenell and
and and Charlie Weiss and all those guys through the years,
go down to some of the other assistants obviously Matt Patricia,
et cetera. So yeah, it makes sense. Josh McDaniel's in
the later years as well, So you do have that

(26:33):
where a delegation has been part of the mix. So
that works. It's just handling all the unwieldy stuff as
you talk about with the the uncles, the hangers on,
the friend you know that needs to be convinced. Hey,
you know what, my guys they don't want to go
play here. Uh so you know they're gonna, I'm gonna
have to leave the neighborhood. Well how do you how
do you remedy all those kind of things? Will he

(26:56):
will we get one of those great videos like we
always talk about with Saban though, where he's doing that dance,
because we can we get one of those because that
was really cool. But you know, I even think, you know, look,
hang a show up for Sunday dinner. Now he's doing
the dance.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
And listen you made me hang out with Pat McAfee
for an entire season.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
I'm done with that now. I don't do that anymore.
I don't do that anymore. I don't do it. I
don't do it. I don't do it. Shows up on
the Manning cast. I've been doing a lot of hard work.
Now I had to do all that crap and smile
my way through it. He's run the goldbe he's done
the car wash. Don at least three days a week,
every every game day we're onto Syracuse. I'm done. I'm done.
I'm absolutely done not doing that. I'm fascinated by it.

(27:36):
Not right, I mean, it's it's all about infrastructure anyway.
I talked about it last night as I made fun
of the Northwestern braggadocious move of wait and spend a
set down nil. That's not a good thing in twenty
twenty four, and why your two best players left. But
you need staff, and you need someone that's going to

(27:57):
be exacting. And what do we know about Bill Belichick.
That's it, that dog eared little NFL rule book, which
should be in the Hall of Fame at this point.
By the way, once he officially retires, perhaps it will be.
But same thing. How do you go through the letter
and spirit of the law. I think you can have
fun with the NCAA rules for a while. Maybe that's

(28:19):
the new challenge. Exit out about a Fresco exit swollen dome.
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Time to find out right now, what's trending in the
wide world of sports? From a woman who is very
happy counting down the points to get to the over
on Thursday Night Football, it's Monzi Belagna, I mean a Jason.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
I'm not that happy because, in case you're wondering, Jaden
Reid has zero.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Targets for zero yards. Yeah, so I'm not a happy camper.
Oh did you individually?

Speaker 4 (28:48):
No?

Speaker 5 (28:49):
For my fantasy fantasy for my fantasy zero for zero
with the big zero next to it, one target.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Do you get any points for targets? No?

Speaker 5 (28:57):
No, it's not PPR zeros I so I'm not a
happy cam.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Are you in a league where you get points when
they show him on camera on the field?

Speaker 3 (29:06):
I wish, Okay, I wish.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
Have you seen him on the field.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
That's true? Yeah, I haven't. I don't wearing the Riddler
outfit with a question work grill for just Cardio is
all he's doing.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
I see Wicks, I see Chris Yes, uh I think
I said on.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Green prop bets did though his prop bets went from
forty eight and a half yards to sixty two and
a half just to head a kickoff. I see Jim
Taylor is out there. Yeah, no, everyone except hitting Lynn
Dickey is out there. Yeah, thank you all.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
At halftime it was the Lions who were up seventeen
to seven, and then in the second half, Green Bay
came out swinging. First it was a Jordan Love touchdown
pass to Tucker Craft. Then Green Bay had an interception
against Jared Goffway also having my fantasy let's not talk
about it. And then Josh Jacobs had a second rushing
touchdown of the game. So they did take the lead

(29:58):
for a hot second, but the Lions. He took the
lead with the Jared goff passed to Tim Patrick and
now the Lions are up twenty four to twenty one
after three quarters. GoF has thrown for one hundred and
seventy eight yards those two touchdowns and an interception. Jordan
Love has thrown for one hundred and thirty seven yards
and a touchdown in the NBA. It's been a close
game the entire time between the Kings and the Grizzlies.

(30:18):
Jah Morant was ejected halfway through the fourth quarter.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
It was his second technical.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
He was called for a foul and kind of lost
his mind. They gave him a second tech.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
He was ejected.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
The Grizzlies, though, are on top one fifteen to one
ten with three seconds to go in the game. The
Rockets and the Warriors are playing, but no Draymond, no
Steph Curry. Rockets are on top twenty two to twenty
early in the second quarter. The Cavs beat the Nuggets
earlier today behind a triple double from Nikola Jokic. It
didn't matter. Cleveland came on top one twenty six to
one fourteen. The MAVs took down the Wizards one thirty

(30:47):
seven to one oh one. Luka Doncic with his own
triple double. The Knicks Go Nicks. They beat the Hornets
one twenty five to one oh one. There's a great
video of O gian Unob being interviewed and he grabs
the microphone and.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Then the big bodega yells at him from the back.
Stop grabbing the microphone. Stop grabbing the.

Speaker 5 (31:05):
Microphone like he's just yelling at him. Because OJ just
grabs the mic from the guy interviewing him.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
It's really great.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
The thunderbeat the Raptors one twenty nine to ninety two,
and the Suns lost to the Pelicans, also a close one,
one twenty six to one twenty four. Bulls took down
the Spurs one thirty nine to one twenty four. And
in baseball, in case you missed it, the A sign
pitcher Luis Severino to a three year deal worth sixty
seven million, the most guaranteed amount given to a player
in fran Chai's history.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Sixty seven million. That's because you went to see a
game this year. That's what it was, yo. That's it.
You're right to you, guys.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Congratulations, you got paid. That's why I got him.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Welcome.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Look, there is no bigger evidence that the apocalypse is
on us. Then Louis Severino gets the biggest contract in
Oakland A's history and not as now Sacramento. He's decided,
I will spend the next three years of my life
in Sacramento. Like that is sports apocalypse. Like sever Reno,
like the Mets wanted him, but they weren't gonna get

(32:08):
into a bidding war. Look, he turned around his career
last year with the Mets, and they did that to
a couple of guys.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
But here he is the a's this is who the
as say.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
We are planting our flag in a non college football
violent way. We are planting our flag on Luis Severino.
He's the guy we gotta we want to give the
most money to. And again, Severino had a nice year.
Like he wasn't great. He had a nice year. He
was nice bounce back. He's thirty years old, right, but
he's I mean, nobody else wanted him, and it turned
out to be Sacramento. That's good because I gotta call

(32:40):
him Sacramento. I mean it, it's good Sacramento. That's giving
in this one the next three years.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Of my life. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I'm gonna play in a minor league ballpark, but I'm
getting paid. How do they have sixty seven million dollars?
There's so many questions about this, it's fuzzy math. But
three for sixty seven, give me three for sixty seven.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
I'll go play wherever you want. How do that? But
how do you have that?

Speaker 1 (33:01):
When I don't know that they're going to make as
much money in in tickets the next three years to
pay off Louise's.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
Small the ballpark, you can't even pay him.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
I think it's one hundred and fifty people can fit
in that ball all right, how do they have again?
This is sports apocalypse. This is like, hey, the End
of the World is coming out.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
It shows you how much money comes from those TV
contracts regardless of who shows up to your stadium. I mean,
they do show up on bobblehead days. We have established
that long ago. So I don't know how many they're
gonna have in the new facility, and they don't have
to make as many, so they saved money there too.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
The A's gave Louis Severino sixty seven million dollars for
three years.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
That would be the I think third highest contract ever
for the White Sox. So I can't really say anything.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
This is like I mean, like when I saw this,
I said, oh, by god, the world is ending.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
The world is going to be ending. Tomorrow might be
the last day. And Severn at least got paid good
for him, the largest guarantee in the history of the franchise.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah, when we're moving, not when they're going into Vegas
and they have all kinds of money to spend. No, no,
we're gonna spen and this money when we go to Sacramento,
said meet us there.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
We're gonna don't have to pay any movie. He might
be the richest guy in Sacramento already gave up there. Yeah, no,
I don't know. Yeah, you don't make as much money
in the government as you think you do. Go look
at the business. You think it's from the It's not
from the initial job. He hasn't make his restaurants and

(34:27):
wineries and everything. We're still open during coach, I gotta
look at contracts. I gotta look at contracts again. Not
making man, not making as much as Louis Savarrino. It's
no way remember, and a lot of it's on other
people's dimes, food, beverage, transportation, et cetera.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Exit out out of Fresco Exit Swollen Dome, The Jenny
Moore Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Josh
Jacobs in the end zone again, his third touchdown of
the game. The Packers now the twenty eight to twenty
four lead over the lines. We'll have more on this
game coming up next as well as how about this,

(35:03):
you want to talk about what could potentially be at
the root of the chief's offensive issues.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
How about a story from today that's next Jason to
Mike Fox.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon. Yeah, Live from the Tirec dot Com Studios.
Twenty eight to twenty four Lead Packers have it over
the lines right now, early in the fourth quarter, just
under twelve minutes left to go. We'll have more on
this game coming up in a few minutes, but just
to this may be the first positive thing we have

(35:47):
heard about this guy that I'm gonna say in a
long time. You probably saw the story earlier today. Eric Bienemy,
who was supposed to be everybody's next favorite head coach
in the AFL but never got his chance, was fired
as offensive coordinator of the u c l A Bruins
earlier today after one year. Bruins missed a ball, uh

(36:07):
kind of underachieved and Eric the enemy is let go.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Now this the spin on it is that he wasn't
really let go.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, that's I'm stupid. His agent said, well, no, the
plan all along was him to do go back to
the NFL after this year. Really's because there's an over
a million dollar buy out for Eric P. Enemy and
with n I L and kids flipping and recruiting, the
plan was always for him to leave. Really, come on, man,
just stopped. The guy got fired, right, the guy got fired.
Now that being said, oh, he was always going old.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Anybody in the.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
NFL could have had him last year. But he had
to go to go to college, right, so anybody could
have So just stop with that. But the but I
want to say this because this is something that I'm
telling you. He never got a chance to be an
NFL head coach, and it's probably not gonna happen now
he is, you know, his his his star has fallen
too much because you either get it when you're hot
or it's just not gonna happen for you. I just

(37:07):
want to say this as much of a reason why
Eric the Enemy never got a head coaching job in
the NFL. You heard, well, he's running Andy Reid's system,
he doesn't interview. Well, all these different reasons that you
heard for the enemy, right, all these enemy. When did
the Chiefs offense turn mortal when Eric the Enemy left

(37:29):
a year ago?

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Yeah? Why Matt Nagy?

Speaker 1 (37:31):
When Eric b Enemy left a year ago, the Chiefs
offense turned mortal? Right, Patrick Mahomes turned into a game
manager from the beginning of last year on, and that's
where the Chiefs are now. Mahomes is kind of a
game manager. They play like the Patriots of the of
the aughts before Brady got all the weapons in the
second half of his career, where hey, we have a
really good defense, we have enough weapons offensively, we have

(37:53):
a great quarterback that's gonna win games for us at
the end. But before that, they were still finding even
without Tyreek Hill, they found a way to get the
ball up and down the field. Mahomes is still thirty
five forty touchdowns a year. He was still fantastic. But
Eric b Enemy left And when did they turn mortal?
The beginning of last year, right when he left. So

(38:14):
you can say all you want about enemy, he's done this,
he's done that. But there's only one change that I
can sit back and say, what was the big change
before twenty twenty three with the Chiefs and that's the
enemy life now if it's it, and get him back
in the room. He's available now, go in.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Even though people were just starting to stump, which made
no sense for Matt Naggy as it would be head
coaching candidate and a retread. I get it. He's working
for Andy Reid. To your point, that offense that's selling
you that you want him coming in and running it.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
No.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Fifteen doesn't come as part of a package deal. And
even then it's been clunky and erratic. But the opportunity
is there to bring him back in. Yeah, to your point,
whatever it was in those meeting rooms, whatever it was
in turn of the structure that they had in place
to bring the best out of Patrick Mahomes with secondary

(39:07):
tertiary off the scrap heap wide receivers, it's not there.
It's enough to win games right now. But we've also
talked about the quality of the NFL as a whole.
As much as we still love it and we celebrate
all two seventy two, there's a vast difference between the
three or four top teams and everybody else and the Chiefs,

(39:28):
even with all the wins you're telling me it's it's
esthetically pleasing. No, no, it is not telling me.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Man.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
You can say a lot of things, but where did
that offense suddenly give it right? Whend be the enemy
left and that's what happened. Just have to bring it
back for a second. Just think about that, hey, speaking
of something else to think about. Congratulations monte Bolangios has
opened up a crate of champagne.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
The over has hit boom.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Because Jared Goff has found his new favorite receiver. For
a second touchdown of the night, Tim Patrick in the
n zone for a score. He now has five for
thirty two and two touchdowns make it thirty one to
twenty eight.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Lions lead the PA. You're not Jared Goff too off
their first connection. That was Patrick's first touchdown since December
of twenty one, so he made sure they got the ball.
Got a big prediction coming up next right here.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Fox Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern
seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Really couldn't get through the fire in flames, Really couldn't
get dragon for him, still trying to get through it
couldn't couldn't replicate it. I tried on the doc, doesn't it?

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from Thetirack dot Com studios.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Where do we sit right now?

Speaker 1 (40:47):
We are cambeling the Lions and the Packers tied at
thirty one a piece. The Lions have the footballs, we said,
a big first down by Jamiir Gibbs gets them into
field goal range. However, a penalty push the Lions back
out of field goal range. And was listening to how
Michael's call it. He seems very like, look, we want

(41:08):
this game to be over now, come on, we gotta
finish this game here. Then a big pass to Aman
Ross Saint Brown where it turns into a fourth and
inches because he gets tackled just short of the first down.
Dan Campbell lets the clock tick all the way down
to forty three seconds. It is fourth and inches. Jared
Goff is still on the field as the Lions are

(41:30):
trying to figure out what they want to do. Do
they want to try to kick a field goal here
and then hope their defense can keep Jordan Loving the
Packers out of the end zone or is it gonna
be We're going for it? On fourth in inches and
we're gonna try to get a first down, then bleed
the clock down to nothing and win on the final kick.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
I got a feeling I know which way Dan Campbell
is leaning because of what he likes to do. But
they have the time out to talk about it. Third
and short, they go to Montgomery. He gets tripped up. Surprise, surprise, surprise. No,
not here, get you're trying to sell me like he's Superman.
He's good. The greatest thing in the world is jais
if you're not Detroit is if you're not to kiss

(42:08):
their asses. Jamiir Gibs is the most talented running back
in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
He's over David.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
I'll give you that.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
It's the most dangerous running back in the NFL. But no, no, no,
we're not Gonna're not gonna give them the ball.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
We're not.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
Let's keep putting David Montgomery out there. We'll take that
arm button out there. But I'm on Ross Saint Brown
on the pass completion that might have been the greatest
chuck ever downfield. It's like offensive pass interference. We can
call it, right, we can.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
He seemed to like.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Calling the pick plays on teams against uh, Detroit can
go the other way too.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
The Lions decide to go for it on fourth and
inches second, got the ball in motion, they hand the
ball to Billy Simms.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Billy Simms at sixty three years old.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
David Montgomery on fourth down takes it over the right
side for a first down. It is first and ten
for the Lions, twenty five seconds left to go. Jared
Goff has come off the field. I would assume it's
going to be a kneal and then a field goal.
On the final play, Jared Goff actually slipped and fell

(43:15):
handing the ball off to Montgomery. He was on his
left knee when he gave the ball to him. This
play had disaster written all over. Looks like he trips
over Ragno's leg and he falls down, but on his
left knee is still able to get the ball to Montgomery,
who gets over the right side gets the first down

(43:35):
by a couple of yards. This wasn't close, like he
gained about three and a half yards on the play.
So now it looks like what the Lions will do
is take the clock all the way down, kick a
field goal in the final play of the game. Woof
falling down man fourth and one, fourth and one, and
Michael Douglas was better in falling down, but hey, that's

(43:55):
at least a game winning opportunity. Off again a Golf
tripping over his offensive lineman's feet. So I don't know
why the clock is stopped. There's twenty five seconds left,
twenty eight seconds left on the clock. Golf has come
off the field, and the clock's gonna keep ticking, So

(44:15):
I don't know why they stopped the clock. It's still
two timeouts left for the Lions. So the Lions are
gonna run some kind of play here and then call
their time out, most likely with like three seconds left,
and then try to kick the game winning field goal.
So Golf Bay and Green Bay call time out, but
Golf left the field. I don't know why Golf would
have left the field. I think like if green Bay
call time out, Golf would have stayed on the field,

(44:38):
but he was going off the field giving high five
to everybody.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
Yeah, I'm just I'm just theorizing. I have no idea.
It made no sense. I mean, we got the first
it seemed like, all right, bleed it down to three, uh,
and then you know, move to whatever hashmark you want
and away we go, So golf kneels on the football.
The clock is ticking down.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
I assume with three seconds left, will get a time out,
unless that's what Dan Campbell thinks the Packers are expecting
them to do.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
No, I mean, this isn't the Bears. We're gonna We're
gonna let it go down and go to overtime. They're
not expecting that.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
So two seconds left time out on the field, it's
gonna be a short field goal for the Lions to
try to win this game thirty four to thirty one.
As we are still tied up thirty one a piece.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Remember spread either three or three and a half, depending
on where you got in the over long in the
rear view mirror. You've been taking doing snow angels in
your winnings.

Speaker 4 (45:28):
The over.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
But look sixty two points on a Thursday night football game.
I told you, yeah, we'll take the I told you
it was gonna be that celebration. Look, I told you
it was gonna be a great game. It was gonna
be a lot of offense. It was gonna be the over.
The Lions were gonna win, and it's gonna be the
most the highest rated Thursday night football game of the year.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
That's that's what tonight. Everything that I said is gonna
wind up coming true. And who knew Dan Campbell would
have the biggest sack of the night. Oh, that's a
drop the mike momit frostper Well, Listen, when you go
for it on fourth down like eleven times, you're going
to make it at some point and it's going to
be a big thing for you.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
The odds do say that field goal is up for
the Lions.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Moncey Belanios is going to tell us what happened with
what's trending right now in the wide world of sports.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Are we headed to overtime? Did the Lions win? Monzy?
I'm setting you up.

Speaker 5 (46:18):
They won, walked it off with a field goal. They're
eleventh straight win, the first time in franchise history that
the Lions have done this. Thirty four to thirty one
was the final score. As you predicted, this is the
longest streak in team history. They've clinched a playoff berth
Go Detroit Lions.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
They are now twelve and one for the season.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
But I agree with you, guys. An exciting game, high
scoring except for Jaden Reid. Did I tell you that
Jayden Reid had zero targets for zero catches, for zero yards,
for zero everything.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Yeah, but aren't you in.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
A league where if your receiver gets absolute zeros across
the board, you get like thirty points.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
I wish, I wish.

Speaker 4 (46:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
I think the initials jr. Were just for jogging and
running today, which I wish I would know.

Speaker 5 (47:01):
At least I got that, guys, at least I got that,
because I'm not happy about it.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
Ben Simms actually caught a pass for the Packers, can
we not?

Speaker 5 (47:09):
I mean, I mean really though, I think I think
last I saw it.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Actually, let's check.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
Let's just no one target, one target, zero zero zero
zero zero cross. Thank you, Jayden read Jared Goff, how
did he do? Thirty two to forty one, two hundred
and eighty three yards, three touchdowns, one interception. We did
have a hat trick on the green Bay side from
Josh Jacobs who had eighteen carries, sixty six yards and
three touchdowns in a losing effort. Again, Detroit Lions walk

(47:35):
it off with the field goal to beat the Green
Bay Packers thirty four to thirty one. And Thursday Night Football,

and that way all the construction's going on in the
air well.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
You just out.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
So I have to make sure that do you have
a lot of opportunities to put like a bubble around
it so you don't have a bad flanger situation. Oh
that is very important, very important. I don't want any
of that very much. Don't touch my Las Vegas strip.

even get around. They're building a baseball stadium. I don't

all of those uh properties off the strip. Man, I'm
just gonna go. It's gonna go right across state line

gonna do that. I'm heading out to prim so the

(50:28):
Lions win it over the Packers thirty four to thirty one,
A big night for Jared Goff three touchdowns, two to
eighty three through the air. Uh, Jordan Love and the
Packers have a nice night.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
Not quite the night you'd expect from Jordan Love just
twelve out of twenty for two hundred yards in a touchdown.
Josh Jacobs did have three scores on the ground, but overall,
not a lot of offense. Not enough offense for the
Packers tonight needed to be a little more dynamic. And
the Lions, despite the fact they go for it on
fourth down seventeen or eighteen times in the game, they
make it when they have to and they come away

(51:01):
with a thirty four to thirty one when they have
clinched a playoff birth.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
They are twelve and one, best record in the NFL,
best record in the NFC, and they are rolling towards
the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
Falling down.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
That's how easy it is at times for these Detroit Lions.
These are not your Detroit Lions. They're not your older brothers.
Detroit Lions. There they are your new world.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Are your grandfather, your great grand When did Bobby Lane play?
Bobby Lane was in the fifties. This is your great
grandfather's Detroit Lions now here.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
They are joining us now on the hot line Nobody
Better NFL on Fox Insider Extraordinaire. You can follow him
on Twitter at Jay Glazer. It is Jay Glazer. What's happening, buddy?
How are you hey?

Speaker 4 (51:46):
Jake Man. I'm so happy for Detroit, but I'm also
happy for the fans to Green Bay. Go oh Man,
dirt Mato. He's a gun, he's a grinder. He's the
same type of dude Dan Campbell. And that's what you're
gonna want to these uh, you know, these norths battles, Like, man,

(52:07):
what a game?

Speaker 2 (52:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
I look at this Jay and we see everything that
the Lions have done the last couple of years, and
it just you know, he gambled.

Speaker 4 (52:15):
Here's here's the biggest here's the biggest thing they did.
Good right, that talks you about culture. The biggest thing
he did was higher Chris Spieldman, our former you know,
my our co host on our Draft, hired Chris Fieldman
to leave, saying this is he's now between like ownership

(52:40):
and coach and GM. But to build a culture of
that kind of guy, like you want your culture to
be Chris Fielman. You don't want it to be the
losing stuff you've had all these years. Whatever it has been,
we've gotten it wrong. So let's get a grunt like
Chris Fielman and go, man, this.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
Is what we want.

Speaker 4 (53:01):
So Chris had obviously for hiring in Dan Tampbell and
Brett Hopkins, and but also like, man, I told you
guys like Sean Payton when he went down New Orleans
he had to teach mister, you know, mister Benson how
to be an owner. I think Chris Filman is the
m v P that nobody talks about, but he's the

(53:25):
MVP this this franchise.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Wow. I was ready to throw Dan Campbell at you
gave me Chris Fielman.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
Yeah, but like listen, but but Chris was like, hey,
I need a guy like me. Dan's like him, I think, right,
Dans like him. Like by the way, I was like,
I was part of it, like I you know lean it.

(53:51):
You know, we talked about times and all that stuff,
and I like so like he wanted the type of
dude who's to kind of be like him. That's what
you want, you want to think, Let's listen. Also, the
thinking about Dan Campbell and Matt Lafoord. I've told the
two of the both these guys this behind closed doors.

(54:11):
I've said, you know, man, in a world where nothing's
authentic anymore, and we see bots on Twitter or whatever,
right or like fil through highlights. These young men, man,
they want authenticity now more than ever before. And they
don't want to get beaten down. They want like, hey,

(54:34):
if you get on them, so you love them. And
there's just so much hate and so much all this
other stuff and social media. So a guy like Dan Campbell,
guy like Matt Lafloor, they're gonna work way more than
the old schools coaches work, and the old school guys
are like, man, they just got on you and beating,
and I think I told you like guys, I had

(54:56):
to change mind. Put some file of Randy Guitaris, like, hey, dude,
you can't tell these young guys anymore what you don't want,
only tell them what you want. You got, like everyone's
so beaten down in life. You only got to build
people up. So that's for Dan Campbell and Matt Laflora.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
Yeah, it's curiosity, but Chris Billman.

Speaker 4 (55:21):
But it's Chris Filman who led the charge and like
and credit, like, listen to the owner. They didn't know
what they didn't know. I'm serious. When Chris took the job,
I'm like, bro, got no idea what you're getting. But
he changed the culture without anybody knowing. He changed the culture.

(55:43):
And that's a g for a guy who doesn't want
Like most people when they they do great stuff, like
they want to make sure when they do say anything,
they want a pr They want people to know this dude,
no one knows. I'm saying it because I understand the inside.
How much of a difference.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
And Jay, the thing that you know, which these does
not look like the other the you know, miscast or
or thrown away. Jared goff ten for ten in the
fourth quarter, doesn't look like you'd fit in, you know,
in the way you describe it, or at least historically,
but seems to be the right quarterback for everything they're
leading there.

Speaker 4 (56:22):
Of course. Yeah, And I think Aaron Glenci talking recently,
he's like, hey, are defense there are a bunch of savages.
Are like, Karen, you're you're talking my language. Savages, you're
talking my language. It went up with us that we're
savages and like, that's what I want to hear. You're
a bunch of savages.

Speaker 3 (56:41):

people the authenticity and how to lean into each other.
I would never have Rosie if I didn't learn some
of these lessons that we talked about breaking the podcasts,
