Speaker 2 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
You know, it's it's funny.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We run the eye told you so open when when
we're gonna talk about Micah Parsons.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It's gota funny because let me go back who said
it's gonna end a month ago that when Micah Parsons
put that out on social media, I no longer want
to be here? Who said this was gonna end in
a trade? Who has two thumbs and said it was
gonna end in a trade?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh, Visca. It's kind of fun we had that.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
We had that out five hours.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
It's just been well, a living nightmare, knowing that I
will hear those words a million times. So the fact
that they show up and open my name missing from
part of that open by the way, but all of
that to say, the fact that Jerry did the pragmatic,
proper football thing. I never thought in a million years
we'd get there. It wasn't so much, Hey, Jerry gets
(01:22):
his way, Jerry. It's just Jerry actually sat back, went
through the looking glass and actually came out the other
side with the right move.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
No, I see, the right move is just signed by
a Parsons and keep the best defensive player in the NFL.
You're saying the best move now that that that it
was never gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
No, I I never thought it was the best for
football purposes. I always thought that it would just be
Jerry's not gonna let Mike Parsons leave.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Okay, so you think.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It was uc It was right for him to trade
the again, the best defensive player in the NFL. They
were gonna suck with him without so but it doesn't
matter what you do. If you're going to trade the
best defensive player, what does it matter. My point was
that it wasn't matter.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
All along was just Jerry Jones and the way he
has operated for thirty some odd years sign that was
never going to change.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And it wasn't always.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Good players he signed, but it was every star, every
big Dallas cowboy, homegrown star he signed and gave money to.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, he signed to give money to.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
So in this case, if the numbers are to be believed,
Michah Parson's basically left out of spite.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Uh yeah again, if the numbers are what to be believed,
and if what Jerry Jones is gonna say is absolutely accurate,
because why wouldn't if Jerry Jones said that, Hey, this
money for Micah Parsons is less than we gave him.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
What did you give him? What'd you offer?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
You're talking Even if that difference is marginal, that it
that it becomes a fun thing.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
It's like for a few dollars more.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
We we wanted out and it came to fruition that fast.
Well that means once again, Insider's only no. Some look,
I told you a month ago it was going to happen, right,

I love putting this content out for you every single day. Now,
let's go back because this was the biggest at why
is Micah Parsons no longer a Dallas cowboy. Let's go
back to the moment, the moment when look to go
(03:35):
back to moment.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
We told you.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Stars in the NBA, the NFL, when they want to
get traded, they say it, right. Guys like Giannis, does
he really want to get traded?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I got to look at my eyes. Now you gotta
say you want out. This is how star. We've said
this many times. This is how stars get traded. When
the star says he's had enough. If I say this
situation is no longer tenable, I get traded. If you
are Kevin Durant, if you are James Harden, this is
how big time stars get traded. And when Micah Parsons
went on social media and he said I no longer
(04:09):
want to be here, and he detailed what happened, what
was said to his agent, what was you know coming
back out? Jerry negotiated with me and and you know
he thought there was a deal as well. Wait a minute,
that might not be quote super legal in the NFL.
But when he said I no longer wanted to be here,
that's the same thing James Harden did. That's the same
thing Kevin Durant did. That's the same thing a lot
(04:31):
of stars do. And that's when you get traded. That's
when you know there is no way back. There's a negotiation,
and then there's it's personal and I'm not coming back.
And for gen Z players who treat social media like
it is the end all be all of existence, when
you go on social media and say that that's a
really really big deal, that's the twenty year ago equivalent
(04:56):
of having a press conference of saying I can't be
here anymore. I can't do it like being on going
on social media and saying I no longer want to
be here. That's the moment you knew that was gonna happen.
And that's when Jerry Jones had to say, Okay, this
is really my last guest chance to do this to
sign Micah Parsons. This is that moment, and instead, what
did he do? I'm just gonna inflame things along the way,
(05:17):
and I'm going to insult Micah Parson's agent. I'm gonna
go on a big television spew and do a bunch
of different shows and say, well, the agent told us
to stick it up our blank and all the different
things he wanted to say trying to win the pr battle.
When what he had to do at that point that
was okay, we now have to make this happen, right,
we have to make this happen. That was the mistake
(05:38):
when when Micah Parsons did that, that was such a
big deal and I think that was really people looked
at that and said, yeah, he's saying something on social media. No,
when you say that on social media, that's the biggest thing.
But that's a whoe take me by surprise moment saying
this is not part of a negotiation. This is not
I want more money. I'm not respected. They need to
(05:59):
show me money if they if they want to value
me as a player I made maybe maybe, but I
no longer want to be here. That was the moment
when I said this is going to end in a
trade because Micah Parsons is a different dude than all
the other Cowboys stars. That stayed quiet. Let Jerry Jones
talk in the media got paid. That was the moment
I knew, And that's why I said it's going to
(06:20):
end in a trade And for all the experts always
gonna get Paige got paid a pack not gonna happen
because it was personal a month ago. And all it's
done is gotten worse in the last three weeks.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I don't pretend to be an insider. I'll take the
l on it and in the end, I've lost nothing. Again,
the Cowboys are a mid team one way or the other. Uh,
it just gave us a storyline for a month. We
did our gratitude. Yes, moment does he does he jump
ahead of?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Does he jump ahead of Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
It's done.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Maybe.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, we gave the award the other night. Yeah, like
when he posted the thing on social media.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Look, I've seen a lot of people, no matter the age,
say a lot of dumb things is on social media
and then immediately be.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Like, Eh, maybe I shouldn't have had but it's out there.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (07:05):
How many times have we seen guys post stuff and
then delete it? Yeah, the internet lives forever. It's not
going anywhere, So you know, I only gave it so
much credence, but certainly we recognized it's it was taking
on a different life than any of the past negotiations.
Even if you saw the latest documentary effort, the as
(07:25):
people call it, the ass Kissing of Jerry Jones, uh
and Allen Whenever, may.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You look good in this special because I'm gonna make
a big trade that people aren't gonna like. So I
just want to make sure I can, you know, just
calm myself by getting on a Netflix and clicking on
and watching a squid game and then seeing that I
look good on this documentary.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
What was funny with a lot of the press that
he's done the last couple weeks to tie that together
is I really kept waiting for him to say, don't
forget to watch the documentary, like he was gonna be
sitting there with Billy Bush or somebody instead of normal
you know, sports reporters like, hey, you should watch it,
don't forget. I was also land man, I was really good.
We're gonna try all we can to get this contract done.
(08:04):
Netflix ass Backslash Cowboys, But make sure you watch search
it on your Roku and just click on the Netflix button.
It should just come up right there.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I mean, it should have been on the lower thirty.
Should have been standing there wearing a sandwich board.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Top ten in the United Kingdom? How did I get
on steven? How did I get on this page? What
is this department? Cu?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
How did I get on there? I don't understand?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Come on, did it show me how I'll get to
that stud just like Pitbull or mister worldwide, that's what
you are, Jerry. But all of that to say it
was taking on a different tone in tenor, and then
Jerry started getting salty Jerry and showing a little different
face in these these interviews. And again you believe what
you want in the the timelines to continue them. The
(08:46):
dollars and cents of it all got to a point
where he made a deal today where for for Jerry
Jones if he'd come back over the top.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
So we got to one eighty eight. We didn't quite
get to the two hundred million dollars. Should but you
know what, what was the price that would have kept him?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Don't know?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But we know the thing, and I think you and
I talked about this probably more than anybody else Bogolta
being the the agent was the big X factor to
all of this, right, A guy who's held players out
deep into camps before, a guy who's had big moments,
the guy who got Deshaun Watson that giant guaranteed deal.
(09:25):
Don't think that doesn't play a little role in whatever
communications were going back and forth, like really, look what
I got for that guy. Now you explain everybody that
Mulagata is the agent because because Jerry Jones never says
his name.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Just the agent, the agent. Agent.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, in this piece, the agent. You know, I watched
the Night Agent that was on the Netflix too. That
was a big I clicked on the thumbs up and
now is that get everything that says not an agent,
so it's all it comes up.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
It was a night Agent.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
That was the one where the guys the uh, the
the Secret Service agent and he gets involved in this situation.
Yeah not because well because he works the night desk,
like when all the you know, and a phone call
comes in that is a woman in trouble and of
course he has to investigate it like he's on the
lower because he did something that got him busted down
(10:14):
from Secret Service to you just watch the phones, and
then of course that he finds his way into this
big The book was really good. The ministrier is a
little bit different, but that was the whole thing. Was like,
I'm the guy, I'm all that there farmed me out
to past her. I made a mistake. I just answered
the phones and a phone call comes in and the
and the woman says the right password that gets her
to the Secret Service. So he does the investigation, and
(10:36):
of course it's an inside job and I'm not spoiling,
spoiling an agent for him. But then I saw that
it was an inside job, and at the end we
traded Maca. So that's that's how it went for it.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I do want to see Jerry Jones as a contestant
on password. Now, now did you say that? So let's
try to make that happen. But the last of it just.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Be I can only say one word if I want
you to get Maca Parsons. I want to say linebacker
that we traded got a couple of first round picks.
Forum Center. The packers like you should get Michael Parsons
off that what's gotta be one word? Do you get nothing?
Because by some people he's more defensive end, he's not even.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Aligned with It's one word. I just say, uh, and
that's one word.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I'm no, you got nothing. You got to read your mind.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
More talk that I like. I like exposure in the media.
You gotta let me talk.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Gotta have a press conference to explain trades whenever that
really unpopular.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah, brevity is the soul of wit in this regard,
but Molligett as part of it. I would love to
see the second side, right because for Jerry Jones, like
we tried to do this, We try to do that,
like during this whole continuum, where where did we have
spots where they actually spoke to where maybe you got
to some uh general agreement, But then the devil in
(11:46):
the details is what toured apart some of it. And
Florio had this up pro Football talking to something I
think we've alluded to it in the last couple of weeks.
Is also when you're talking about paying him, with Jerry
also in the past talking about having the franchise tag
in his back pocket of hey, this is a three
year plan that we're looking at. Was you were gonna
(12:07):
end up fighting over what his number would be being
a defensive end versus being a linebacker as related to
a franchise tag and what the average value of the
top five at the position were. Right, So were we
talking apples to oranges of here's Hendrickson, here's.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
What is Micah there? Or is he over here as
a lot like?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Right?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
So, so I think that's where some of the the
devil being in the details is of I'm gonna make
you the highest paid, but then those deals get signed
and look.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
At all the not getting any money. Look where you are, guy,
I'm so I had to list you as a punter.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I just but the fact that they paid Jake Ferguson
what they did, if you're if you're a muga leta
and Ferguson's a fine player. Yeah, he's not a a
tight end by any stretch, and he got top marketings
on for for the tight end position.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
So from MICHAEH.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Parsons, you're you're looking around going, I can't get a
squeeze a few.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Dollars more out of here.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
No, now, we'll wait, we'll talk about it from the
football perspective and a bit uh you know, no, no
disrespect to Kenny Clark coming back and play. You know,
he's he's just a minor player in this. Uh mine up,
minor mane.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
But but that's the that's the whole the whole point
is that this was at def con. Deaf Con five
is the worst one, right, this was at Dickon five
or Dickcon one. Yeah, def Con one, I think is
whatever the worst one. I gotta look that up so
I know, Like we were at def Con five on
August first.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah, def Con one is the worst, is the worst?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Okay, we were at deaf Con one on August first,
So deaf coone went all the way down.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Deaf Con five is basic peace and everything is fine.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Def Con four, def Gon four, you go to Intel
watching your security measures heightened depth Con three force readiness
increased above normal levels. Def Con two, near nuclear war.
That was when the computer started to get involved. Okay, yeah,
den Wars was playing war games and seeing the only
way to win is not to play. But like we
were at deaf Con one, that's the big thing, like
(14:09):
like the big takeaways from where We're gonna spend a
lot of time on this tonight throughout. But this was
at def Con one on August first, and either Jerry
blew it didn't realize, but whatever reason. This was that
bad a month ago, and there was one chance to
save it, and it was a month ago, and it
just didn't. It just got worse from it. It's it's
like when when two people get in a fight. A
(14:31):
couple gets in a fight and you know, okay, well
they're not going to date anyone, that that's over. And
then instead of hey, all right, well after that fight,
it's either we make up now and because that was
bad and we talk about it, or this relationship's done,
and instead it was just okay, we just played out
the next couple of weeks. I got my stuff from
your places, you got your stuff from mine, and then
(14:52):
it was done. We knew that's where it went. I mean,
this is where it was always headed after that day,
and Jerry Jones did nothing to save it. But that
I mean, the thing that people have to understand is
that when a star goes to those extents and those
lengths to say I want out, like that's oh whoa.
This is This is not negotiation. This is not part
(15:12):
of the back and forth. This is not me blowing
off steam. That's a serious series. He borrowed from that
playbook of k D and Harden and he played it great.
He got out, he got his money done, He did
so much going on, he was done.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
At that moment in assuaged. If he got a giant topiary,
a lot of flowers in a ring, like if he
was on a bachelor, well, if he pulled uh a
full Travis Kelcey, I watch, I watch, It's always Sonny
with the Danny DeVito as a golden Bachelor didn't really
end well for him, but it ended with what's your
name from taxi? But uh uh yeah, with a rose
(15:46):
and glass of champagne. And that was actually the offer
I gave Tomacca and he didn't take it. So that's
that's that's what happened there. Good morning to you.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So just number one, number one, know that that was
the moment, right, That's why we call the show ahead
of the Curve. That was the moment that we knew
that things are that serious. And the cowboys either didn't
think it was that serious or refused to play it
that serious, didn't want to even acknowledge it was that serious.
But that's what it was, and that's how they blew it.
This is why Micah Parsons is now a member of
(16:17):
the Green Baker.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I gave you a chance to make him the highest
paid player non quarterback.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I gave you a chance to keep him here forever,
and you blew it.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Coming up next, we have more on this story. We're
gonna hear from Jerry Jones, who had a very hastily
scheduled press conference following the trade today. Plus, let's revisit
another conversation we had a couple of days ago after
what one MLB superstar did tonight, a night we haven't
(16:45):
seen in years, and you only get a couple of
times over the course of your lifetime. That's next right here,

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, we got more on the Micah
Parsons trade to the Green Bay Packers. We told you
coming up in a couple of minutes. But first, it's
the Play the Day, brought to you by tire Rack.
For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
(18:26):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerack dot
Com is the way tire buying should be. Well, when
you hit not one, not two, not three, but four
home runs, you get to be the tire rack play
of the day.
Speaker 9 (18:42):
Swam On hit deep right field head.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
There's history for Swarmer.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
It's his fourth home run of the night as Kyle
Schwarmer becomes the first Philly since Michael jack Spit to
hit four homers in a game.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
So there was Philly TV on the call.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Four home runs for Kyle Schwarber tonight. He now has
forty nine nine RBI give him.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
One hundred and nineteen. Now, all of a sudden, he's
just jumped up.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
A decade and the Phillies he clearly showing that the
Mets are really their kryptonite. They beat the Braves nineteen
to four. Something going on in that stadium. Oh man,
I'll tend straight losses in city Field.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Nineteen to four.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
They win, And now you know, let's revisit the conversation
that we had earlier this week when it comes to
NL MVP because we told you earlier this week. Look, yes,
Shojo Tani is having a fantastic year one hundred and
fifty percent, but the MVP is not player of the year.
It's not the player with the best stats. It's who
(19:50):
has shown that I am the most valuable player to
my team. And Otani fifty to fifty last year, phenomenal season,
absolute one hundred percent. It wasn't even close this year.
What we said a few days ago, I'll double down on. Now,
Kyle Schwarber is your National League MVP, and I don't
believe it's particularly close. Now Vegas may disagree, but you're
(20:12):
talking about someone now forty five on runs. Yes, now
four more than show Heyo Tani. But bottom line, now,
Kyle Schwarber's got one hundred and nineteen RBI right like
that Dwarfs show. Hey, Otani, I mean like you're talking
about a guy that's hitting second in the batting order
and he's got one hundred and nineteen RBI, Like that's
a that's a real You're all of a sudden, he
(20:32):
now leads Pete Alonzo by eleven, and I don't know
that Alonzo can catch him, like I don't know if
that can happen. And Otani is sitting around at eighty five.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
This is no.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Longer I got you by fifteen. I guess by twelve.
He's got Otani by thirty RBI. And you can look
at all the different stats you want to and talk
about war and different things, and I understand that, but
certain things when you're a slugger and you are the
guy carrying your team this year, because look, Bryce Harper
is still a fantastic player, right, still a top five,
top seven player in Major League Baseball. The Dodgers, they
(21:02):
have a lot of good players on their team. Otani
clearly is the best. But this year Schwarber's got the
Phillies at the top of the NL East. With more
responsibility the Phillies. He's more responsible for the Phillies being
in first place than Otani is for the Dodgers being
in first place in the NL West this year. You
can't just blanketly give it to Otani ever year, because again,
(21:24):
it's not Player of the Year. It is MVP. Yes,
Sotani fine pitched last night and had a five inning
like that was great, That was great, But I mean,
you know, look, the biggest number for you know, hum
runs is a great number. It's a huge number. The
biggest number for sluggers. RBI is kind of the most
important number no matter what you want to look at.
As far as war and and ops, RBI is still
(21:46):
the most important one. And it contwar has one hundred
and nineteen again coming off and again talk about value.
Coming off a day in which the Phillies were swept
and complained about microphones and the Mets standing too close
to there to the plate when they should be on
the on deck circle, and things were falling apart from
the Phillies and they go to win an absolute laugher, and.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Now schwar Wartz got Otani by thirty y RBS.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
I'm going to take a play from from your playbook
from all those years ago dealing with Patriots stuff. It's like,
I don't know if it's not happening in other stadiums,
don't I have to ask questions about what's going on
in that building? So if the Phillies are that inept
in city Field, it was ten straight getting parabolic microphone.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It's a microphone, but is that it? Yeah, it's a microphone.
Come on, I had the microphone out there, the Mets
are standing a little too close to the plate and
on deck circle, all these things. That's how the Mets
catch you. I'm just that's how they got you. I
have to ask questions.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's how they get you.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Book.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
If we could have full on investigations and and have
it litigated for multiple years over a half a pound
PSI in a football, we can do this here because
this guy comes right back out and he bust out
the whooping stick again.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
That's how it goes, man, That's how it goes. What
do you want? What do you What do you want
from me?
Speaker 4 (22:58):
So you're saying you want to say ten games. We
can't do things at city fields.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Teams have ten game losing streaks in other people's parks.
It just so happens to be that this is the
fust place team that's lost like your team. Yeah, okay,
So do you want to have the Kyle Schwarber conversation
or do you want to say you think the Mets
a cheating?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Which which one I would have fun with?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Which?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Which one do you want? We lost to the Marlins
tonight seven to four. If we were cheating, we would
have beaten the Marlins tonight, but no, we couldn't. So
you clearly know that's out or we got to find
something else besides the microphone. Well, I mean maybe it
doesn't work. I mean it's not one size fits all.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
I mean, certainly you know you got to adapt to
your different opponent and mark as it were. As for
the Schwarber conversation, I like the cut of your gym.
I like the argument you to make, the fact that
there's been really not a whole lot of movement. We'll
talk to Todd Ferman coming up in about two hours
from now to go deeper into this, but as we
(23:51):
talked about it two days ago, Schwarber was still sixteen
to one. So not only is the public not backing it,
that means the sharps aren't jumping in at sixteen to
one either.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Which is gonna make it funny now.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
But that's what I mean, that's the curiosity, right because
if it was something that was really swaying, and this
is where we have to go find all the people
that will vote for MVP and start pulling them, which
I'm guessing some of the odds makers there in those
sportsbooks have you know, access guys, So what's what's the
wind prevailing wins? What's it saying the sharps I think
(24:24):
would be putting money into this? Would they not? I
mean just I think the argument of what Schwarber is Yeah,
makes perfect sense. But wouldn't people be trying to bload
up at sixteen to one? Are we to have a
movement of odds?
Speaker 10 (24:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Maybe they are.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Now I want to see what the odds are going
to be after tonight one of the odds for Schwarmer's MVP.
I'm curious how much did we get tonight? I don't
I don't know. I like this a thing that should
have been moving move a little bit again. It's still
going from a really long shot, Joe, I would say
it's probably still what twelve to one.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I told you to get in.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I told you, I say, hey, that pretty good odds
to get in on a few days ago.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
But where's where's the loss? Better?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Now?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
It's even better now? You're just mad at me. I
could tell you're mad at me. You're mad at me.
You've been mad for the last half hour that Michaeh
Parsons got traded. You've been mad for the last half
hour that Micah Parsons got traded. Yes, I could tell.
I know you for ten years, eleven years now, I
could tell you're mad that Michael Parson's trading.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yes you are.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
He does go to the Packers. Oh yeah, that's over
under in terms of their win total. Will move that
whole half a game.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's tough, that's yeah. Those are three teams that really
hate the Cowboys too. There's three other teams going. Man,
we're We're supposed to have great seasons, maybe super Bowl,
maybe playoffs. You know, traded because it ends the story. Yeah, yeah,
well you knew it was good Thickets the Cowboys. We
just could have dragged on.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
But I got left.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
When George Pickens starts acting like a knucklehead, yeah it No,
Picketts is not gonna be enough to move the needle
for us.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
We got nothing.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
I think I think that it's dead.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
No.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
The fact that Jerry made the right football play in this.
I think the fact that Jerry Jones, we're gonna hear
him in a couple seconds. The fact that Jerry Jones
put Dak on blast after it was over by saying,
we already gave more money than we ever have to
Dak Prescott last year Dak Like suddenly it's Dak's fault
that Micah Parson's got traded like something that, No.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Do you have as much money for him that Jerry
j now him. He's in CD.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
He's just gonna he's just gonna change his focus now
from I gotta change this story from Micah Parsons being
traded too. I'm changing it over now to oh, Dak
is the guy, don't worry about my Dak's the guy.
So if you're mad at anybody, be mad at Dak,
because Dak's the guy on the field that will not
come through for the Cowboys, and sudden it's we gave
him more money.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
That's the guy to be mad at.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I'm the guy that traded micahp You can be mad
at me, but if Dak doesn't play well, you can
be mad at him.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Okay, That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Is this the the HASLM strategy of all his missteps
and missdealings and problems and misfirings on contracts to when
it became the shdoor Sanders question that guy he led,
he wanted him.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
It's all his drafting. So yeah, I mean, maybe he's
taking the same page.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Let's listen, we got to sound about.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Here's Jerry Jones today again talking about the Micah Parsons
trade and basically.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Saying, hey, uh, don't forget I gave all that money
to Dak.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
This gives us a better chance to be a better
team than we have been the last few several years
since Michael's been here. Not any negative on Micah, but
we're trying to get better. We're trying to stop the
run and stay.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
On the hunt.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Uh yeah, so, uh, you know, more money than he
ever gave to anybody who's ever been here.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Are you looking over at Dak?
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Now?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Now it's Daxell. Dak's like, well, I get side swiped enough.
Don't your side swipe to me during this whole thing
with Michael Parsons? Come on, man, what's happening here?
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Well?
Speaker 5 (27:59):
I mean, look, you get it to do with defensive pose?
What are we always talking about? You get a rat corner?
What's he gonna do?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
He's gonna come out fighting right here?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
It is more on him talking about Dak.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
But we have the highest paid player in the NFL,
a quarterback, and we made that commitment last year and
we're proud we made it and had everything to do
with his decision.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Everything.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
It is give us every opportunity with Dak Prescott and
Lamb and the base that we've got to win.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Lamb.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I like that Lamb tap. And I'm putting CD on
there too, becuse I gave him a lot of money
last year too.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
You're getting that well because remember CD got side swipe
because cheer and more for him to get paid. Yeah, Micah, Yeah,
the decibel was higher. Who so he just grabbed him
all up in there. But it's it's like I argued
with Joe Shane last year. I don't think what he
did was wrong. I think you just get get yourself
caught up in a microphone and you say stupid things.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Now, that's that's Jerry rises.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
That's that's how Jerry doesn't man's how Shane did it
with the Saquon Barkley infamous tell phone call. And that's
what we got with with Jerry, where I was like,
who haven't I side swiped that we gave money to.
I mean the Ferguson kid got paid. He took no
incoming exit out Valda Fresca exit Swollen dome. Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Time
(29:17):
out to find out what's trending in the wide world
of sports from someone who's been called the Micah Parsons
of Fox Sports Radio. She doesn't like something, she'll tell
you on social media. It's Monty Belangos and I'm out, I'm.
Speaker 4 (29:30):

Take note.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
That's right, Michael Parson's highest paton on quarterback in NFL
history on the move, no longer a cowboy, but a
packer signing a four year, one hundred and eighty eight
million dollar extension.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
You guys are going to talk about it all night.
Speaker 11 (29:46):
We'll keep playing Jerry Jones for you listeners, so don't
you worry. But in other kind of NFL news, we
do have a college football game right at Arrowhead Stadium.
It's Nebraska and Cincinnati. Nebraska is up twenty to three,
coming down into half time right now. But this is
trending because.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Who's at this game, ont oh, thank you for this
is Michae this game. No, is he standing next to
Jerry Jones, No, but he.
Speaker 11 (30:08):
Probably wants to be in the suite that contains Taylor Swift,
Travis Kelcey, Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes. So they're at
this game, and I feel like Nebraska has already just
taken full advantage of posting videos of them at this game.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
You know, you gotta you gotta give the people what
they want. And it's Tata and Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You need, you need the picture and picture experience for
this game, well for the NFL, no for for opening
opening week Nebraska Cincinnati. Yeah, you need, you need this
small screen total and the game can be on this mall.
Speaker 11 (30:42):
There's like a clip of Taylor Swift walking by herself,
like you know, into probably going towards the suite, and
there's a girl behind her walking and it's the clip
is so short and it's Britney Mahomes, but nobody knows.
It's all like, oh, this is Taylor Swift, says Brittany
Mahomes is literally walking right by her. So they're at
that game. South Florida did crush number twenty five. Boise
State already thirty four to seven. When it comes to baseball, yeah,
(31:04):
you guys are talking about Kyle Schwarber. Four home runs today,
nine RBI, so he is at a career high forty
nine home runs one hundred and nineteen RBI pt least
crushed the Braves nineteen to four. Marlins outscored the Mets
seven to four, Yankees beat the White Sox ten to four,
and the Giants earlier today edged the Cubs four to three.
And in college hoops, guys, in casey minister, Rick Barnes
(31:26):
has signed a lifetime contract with Tennessee, committing to be
their coach for the rest of his career.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Back to you, guys, thank you very much, mancha until
they fire him. Until yes, listen, we gave you a
lifetime contract. So what's going on today?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
We're declaring you dead.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
I mean, what's a buyout?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Out a deal? We're tired of this direction doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I die.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
This is like in the movies. I need that taken
care of. You know what I mean when I say
taken care of, yeah, taking care of yeah. Listen. So
congratulations on earning that lifetime.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Now, really just throw this out here because we've got
more and Jerry Jones coming up. But I am pretty sure.
I am pretty sure. I'm not one hundred percent, but
I'm pretty sure. Ashton Gent was pretty important to Boise State.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Just soly sure that was the thing.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
And now how many college.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Football peerists are happy because already Boise State, you can
knock them out of getting a we're gonna take a
bid from us A Boise State. They're in the top
twenty five already. Of course they're gonna go like twelve
and oh and they're gonna snatch a playoff bid from US.
They get worked tonight by South Florida thirty four to seven.
So you're welcome, all college football peers. You will not
have to worry about the blue field and the Broncos
(32:35):
snatching a wild card playoff spot from you. You don't
have to be upset Alabama or Tennessee or Michigan. All
the Boise State, the scourge of college football is not
going to take a bit away from you.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Unless they go in South Bend and take down Notre
Dame in the beginning.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Of hunt over. Oh, every root for you, then they
can root for you.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Yeah, then they can jump back into the mix.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
But you're right, one day, you got a little bit
of breathing easier, because I mean, that's a lot of
the lamentation when we get early season matchups. In this case,
just the the trip down to the South Florida Bulls
taking him down in grand style thirty four to seven.
Just an absolute beatdown. And you know, now, I guess
in the fourth quarter you just run a bunch of
(33:20):
highlights of Ashton genty.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yeah, that's what happens, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Just here here he was last year. Hey, here's what
he looked like in the preseason.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
This looked great.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
How great is he gonna be at the next level?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
By the way, just to tie up the Schwarber thing
for a sec twenty first player in Major league history
with a four home run game. He was thanked almost
instantly by Mike Cameron.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Yeah that was nice. It was awesome, and it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
I know, Mike Cameron jumping up and down, But I
did that, Remember me? Remember me, Mark Whitten. I'm sure
we'll thank you.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
It's not just Kurts and this guy.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
No, no, no, But coming up next, maybe the strongest,
most shocking thing you can say about Jerry Jones after
the Micah Parsons trade to the Packers. That straight head
right here, Jason, Mike, you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Jerry Jones can't run a team the right way. Trade
it away his best player. Now he's got a defensive
tackle and two first rounders that can't help until next year.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
How does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
In what world?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
MCU six sixteen, five eighty one fourteen, Fox Sports Radio, JA.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
How many comic books are you going to go into
before we're down here?
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Too many worlds? It's too many worlds world.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
You know, there's one world, at least one world where
Micah Parsons is going is going to the Hall of
Fame as a Dallas Cowboy. I don't know, I don't
know what MCU world that is, but there's got to
be an MCU world where that's happened.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
I kind of like that world. It's Jerry was going
to be around. Bring him in.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
It's not this one though.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
It's not six six, not happing, no more Ring of
Honor possibility either.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Oh no, no, no, no, that's not that banned.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Hey. Micah Parsons is a member of the Green Bay Packers.
The Cowboys making the trade today, shaking the NFL world
with the news what does this mean for many teams
odds to get to the Super Bowl? Joining us down
the hot line? Is nobody better? Longtime Vegas insider friend
of the show, Todd Furman. Check him out on Twitter
(35:34):
at Todd Furman. See him on CBS sports Line all
over the place TSN. He's on there regularly, Todd. What's happening, man?
Speaker 3 (35:41):
How are you?
Speaker 10 (35:42):
I'm doing well, gentlemen, But you know what the irony
is in all of this situation that's unfolded in Dallas.
Jerry Jones still runs a better franchise than Woody Johnson
does in New York. So the Cowboys always have that.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
I don't know about that, man.
Speaker 10 (35:55):
It's something that Jared can hang his hat on, regardless
of how old and senile he gets his contract negotiations
that are in violation of the CBA.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
YEA don't know about that, because, first of all, actually
people come to the Jets, they actually want to be here. Uh,
we are problem is that our problem, our problem, and
our problem is bringing in the wrong players. It's not
our star players want to leave. That's a bigger problem.
That's a bigger you gotta got.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
They gotta be a destination man.
Speaker 10 (36:22):
And we're more of a destination I don't think I've
ever heard the Jets described as a destination franchise. But
whatever world you live in and wanted that job prisoners
of the moment.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
My friend, Jets have a better head coach, The Jets
have a better general manager. The Jets have have better
talent across the board. Like I mean that, I don't
know what to tell you.
Speaker 10 (36:41):
That's the tread and they have a win total it's
still two games lower than the Dallas Cowboys because they
reside in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
So well, okay, well that elson So what did happen
to the odds of the Dallas Cowboys after the trade
of Michael Parsons today?
Speaker 10 (36:54):
This was a Cowboys team that the market hadn't been
real bullish on going into the season to begin with.
Their win total as largely hung earlier this summer around
seven and a half, and we haven't seen much in
the way of adjustments for the Dallas Cowboys. You look
at what their number is at some prominent books, and
that's kind of the consensus price tag. Now, if you
want to go over that, you can still get a
little bit of favorable juice working in your favor. Well, look,
(37:17):
this is a Dallas team that questions along the offensive line.
They had questions defensively even before they parted ways with
Micah Parsons. And while a lot of people were thinking
this could be a rebound year with a healthy Dak Prescott,
I think the offense is now going to have to
do everything in their power to outscore some of those
defensive deficiencies. So I wouldn't be running to buy Dallas
Cowboys stock anytime soon. But from a fantasy standpoint, I'm
(37:39):
sure having George Pickens on your roster along with Ceedee
Lamb or Deck can potentially pay dividends if they're in games.
There are at thirty eight to thirty one every Sunday
all fall long.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Yeah, I'm now just going to have a split screen
graphic of Dak Prescott and Joe Burrow with me all
year long. Both sides are the same coin in that
regard for the Week one game against the Eagles, was
is that already priced in that he wasn't going to play?
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Or we see a movement.
Speaker 10 (38:04):
You saw a little bit of movement actually starts trickle
into the market. Yesterday the total that got as low
as forty six this summer out to forty seven and
forty seven and a half. And that was amid speculation
that even if Parsons did sign a deal to remain
a member of the Dallas Cowboys, that he wasn't going
to be available for week one, or if he was,
it was probably going to be in a limited capacity.
You also saw the six and a half get cleared
(38:25):
out of the market in favor of a seven. It
wouldn't be surprising to me at all if this number
continued to trend to seven and a half before we
get to kickoff next Thursday night, going to be tough
for bookmakers to convince people to walk to the window
and bet the Dallas Cowboys in this particular spot. So,
as we always say, the betting market will typically tip
its hand. But I don't think anybody anticipated this kind
of blockbuster deal with Michael Parsons being shipped to Green
(38:47):
Bay in exchange for two first round picks Kenny Clark
and the life changing money at roughly forty seven million
a year that he was able to lock down.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
All right, So now that Michah Parsons is a member
of the Green Bay Pack, as we talked about the
other three teams that hate this trade the most, the Vikings,
the Bears and the Lions. What does this do for
the odds of those all four of those NFC North teams.
With the Packers getting Micah Parsons and now the other teams,
you know, now it's going to be a little bit more,
much more difficult for them to do what they want
to do this year.
Speaker 10 (39:16):
Yeah, the Packers really become the beneficiary from an odds perspective.
They move themselves into that second tier. I kind of
say that the first tier as it stands as the Ravens, Bills, Eagles,
and Chiefs. You can say what you want picking out
flaws for any of those four teams, and you wouldn't
be wrong. But the Packers go from a team price
and that's sixteen eighteen to one range now more or
less mentioned in the same breath as the AFT four
(39:36):
mentioned Detroit Lions. And if you look at the dynamics
specifically as it pertains to how the pecking order will
unfold in the NFC North, we've seen some prominent books
actually move the Green Bay Packers ahead of the Detroit
Lions and make them a favorite. The Vikings and Bears
still there picking up their rear. So when you add
that kind of talent in the short term, it makes
a dynamic defense, you know, that much better and a
(39:58):
group that's going to benefit imensely from one of the
premier pass rushers in the league. I think the biggest
question Packers fans will have now is when will they
see Michael Parsons make his debut in a full capacity. Look,
I don't expect him to be out there week one
against the Lions. Green Bay has a short week before
they'll take on the Commanders on Thursday night, So in
my opinion, you probably won't see him get his full
snap shore until week three. If his back issue isn't
(40:20):
a looming thing that can hang over this potential trade
and limits some of his effectiveness on the field.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
Yeah, I hope you look at his chops because week three,
if I'm right, they've got the Browns, so you can
go and take out Joe Flacco.
Speaker 10 (40:34):
Doesn't It doesn't hurt when you're trying to get into
the backfield to attack a statue at that point in
his career, So if Micah wanted to buy his time,
that would not be the worst landing spot. And then gentlemen,
what do we have on the schedule for the Green
Bay Packers Sunday Night Football at the end of September.
Micah Parsons gets to make his triumphant return home and
I have to imagine he will be cheered by Cowboys
(40:56):
fans and Jarro will be the one drawing the ire
of their disdain.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
What did it do for their overall number for the
NFC title and the Winds total because they were at
nine and a half.
Speaker 10 (41:08):
Yeah, number shortened a little bit and we saw the
juice flip a touch for Green Bay, You're not going
to see that much in the way of movement on
some of those particular markets. What I do think is
fascinating is Micah was already, you know, mentioned amongst the
favorites for Defensive Player of the Year, and I've seen
some books shorten his odds to a price tag of
less than two to one. For me, it's pretty wild
(41:28):
if anybody is running the window to try and back
him at that number. But I think it's books doing
as much to kind of protect potential liability accumulating there
as people are always prisoner of the moment they want
to gravitate towards that shiny object and in today's NFL world,
Michael parsons that very definition of such.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Todd Furman vegas inside of our guest. All right, so
let's head to college football. You know, we're seeing games
tonight and everyone's kind of starting to get in the mode.
This weekend belongs to college football. Clearly no game bigger
than Texas Ohio State. What are your thoughts on this one,
because now tonight we start the countdown to Texas Ohio State.
Speaker 10 (42:03):
You know, if we use tonight as an indication, hopefully
folks who are looking at bet underdogs, underdogs on the
main rotation go seven to one against the number. The
only favorite that gets there is Wyoming over Acron and
the true barn burner of the entire weekend Wyoming out
lasting the Zips ten nothing in a game that may
be set football back one hundred plus years as far
as the Marquee games are concerned.
Speaker 8 (42:23):
Though.
Speaker 10 (42:23):
Look, we have a couple of fun games tomorrow night
to kick things off. You know, Baylor and Auburn doing battle,
two teams that would love to try and kickstart their
season and keep their respective head coaches off the hot seat.
And then anytime that Dion is available in prime time.
You know there are going to be eyeballs there with
Colorado short home underdog in Georgia Tech. But in terms
of the marquee matchups, look books have told me that
(42:43):
Texas continues to get a ton of attention in the
betting market. I was stunned to see a prominent book
out here in the Desert actually moved Texas to a
one point favorite after they took a substantial six figure bet.
I think there's a lot of expectations around this Texas
team being able to exact the measure of event for
a playoff game that got away from them, thinking that
Archie Maning's going to hit the ground running, and questions
(43:05):
more importantly on the Ohio State side, not just about
the quarterback position and Julian san and what he'll be
able to do, but a new offensive coordinator and a
new defensive coordinator. But I'd be very intrigued as the
Buckeyes continue to drift out and the other two big
games LSU and Clemson. Look, I think LSU one of
the more talented teams in the country, right there with Clemson,
and it wouldn't surprise me at all if that number
(43:25):
started a trend towards a field goal with LSU taking money,
and then on Sunday, I expect a somewhat lower scoring
game between Notre Dame and Miami, two teams that are
going to be very comfortable running the football and trying
to force their opponents to methodically move the ball down
the field.
Speaker 5 (43:39):
All right, last one time, be remiss if we didn't
revisit it. Something we've been talking about a lot as
we get into MBP odds and fund Kyle schwarb tonight
four home run game gives him forty nine on the
year and starting to get a little bit of a
ground well of support. It's nothing else is the market
moving it all last I looked it was still plus
sixteen hundred to try to upend show Hao Toani.
Speaker 10 (44:02):
Yeah, look, I mean apparently JP Morosi was rubbing his
crystal ball when he was on with you guys earlier
in this week saying that this race was significantly closer.
You looked at the betting odds at that time and
shoe Heo Tani was a runaway favorite. But what has
Kyle Schwarber done by virtue becoming the twenty first player
in Major League baseball history, hit four home runs in
a game, his odds have shrunk from sixteen to one
to win NLMVP now down to five to one. Show
(44:25):
Hayes price coming down substantially as well, So maybe it
truly will be a two horse race over the final
twenty to twenty five games. Yo Schwarber providing all of
that power in the Phillies lineup, and when you have
the kind of headline game that he did tonight, it
turns plenty of eyeballs and they want to go in
a different direction. So that race has tightened up some. Meanwhile,
in the American League at two horse race as well,
(44:46):
Aaron Jodge's flight favorite in that minus a dollar sixty
range Cal Rawley at plus a dollar thirty. I think
that one will come down to the final games of
the regular season. Should be fun to watch in both
respective leagues, and I think team success could play a
fact as well in terms of which player ultimately emerges
a top the heat in both the American League and
National League MVP market.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
He's on Twitter at Todd Furman, that is at Todd Furman,
and he says his best bet of the week in
college football Syracuse and Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
Take the Orange team.
Speaker 10 (45:17):
That one you can count on for sure. I thought
you were gonna tell me it was the Orange money line,
and I was gonna have to say my connection was
starting to break up.
Speaker 4 (45:26):
Take it, easy money. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Always a pleasure, guys, Appreciate.
Speaker 4 (45:29):

Speaker 2 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
You know, it's it's funny.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We run the eye told you so open when when
we're gonna talk about Micah Parsons.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It's gota funny because let me go back who said
it's gonna end a month ago that when Micah Parsons
put that out on social media, I no longer want
to be here? Who said this was gonna end in
a trade? Who has two thumbs and said it was
gonna end in a trade?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh, Visca. It's kind of fun we had that.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
We had that out five hours.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
It's just been well, a living nightmare, knowing that I
will hear those words a million times. So the fact
that they show up and open my name missing from
part of that open by the way, but all of
that to say, the fact that Jerry did the pragmatic,
proper football thing. I never thought in a million years
we'd get there. It wasn't so much, Hey, Jerry gets
(01:22):
his way, Jerry. It's just Jerry actually sat back, went
through the looking glass and actually came out the other
side with the right move.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
No, I see, the right move is just signed by
a Parsons and keep the best defensive player in the NFL.
You're saying the best move now that that that it
was never gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
No, I I never thought it was the best for
football purposes. I always thought that it would just be
Jerry's not gonna let Mike Parsons leave.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Okay, so you think.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It was uc It was right for him to trade
the again, the best defensive player in the NFL. They
were gonna suck with him without so but it doesn't
matter what you do. If you're going to trade the
best defensive player, what does it matter. My point was
that it wasn't matter.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
All along was just Jerry Jones and the way he
has operated for thirty some odd years sign that was
never going to change.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And it wasn't always.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Good players he signed, but it was every star, every
big Dallas cowboy, homegrown star he signed and gave money to.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, he signed to give money to.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
So in this case, if the numbers are to be believed,
Michah Parson's basically left out of spite.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Uh yeah again, if the numbers are what to be believed,
and if what Jerry Jones is gonna say is absolutely accurate,
because why wouldn't if Jerry Jones said that, Hey, this
money for Micah Parsons is less than we gave him.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
What did you give him? What'd you offer?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
You're talking Even if that difference is marginal, that it
that it becomes a fun thing.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
It's like for a few dollars more.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
We we wanted out and it came to fruition that fast.
Well that means once again, Insider's only no. Some look,

I love putting this content out for you every single day. Now,
let's go back because this was the biggest at why
is Micah Parsons no longer a Dallas cowboy. Let's go
back to the moment, the moment when look to go
(03:35):
back to moment.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
We told you.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Stars in the NBA, the NFL, when they want to
get traded, they say it, right. Guys like Giannis, does
he really want to get traded?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I got to look at my eyes. Now you gotta
say you want out. This is how star. We've said
this many times. This is how stars get traded. When
the star says he's had enough. If I say this
situation is no longer tenable, I get traded. If you
are Kevin Durant, if you are James Harden, this is
how big time stars get traded. And when Micah Parsons
went on social media and he said I no longer
(04:09):
want to be here, and he detailed what happened, what
was said to his agent, what was you know coming
back out? Jerry negotiated with me and and you know
he thought there was a deal as well. Wait a minute,
that might not be quote super legal in the NFL.
But when he said I no longer wanted to be here,
that's the same thing James Harden did. That's the same
thing Kevin Durant did. That's the same thing a lot
(04:31):
of stars do. And that's when you get traded. That's
when you know there is no way back. There's a negotiation,
and then there's it's personal and I'm not coming back.
And for gen Z players who treat social media like
it is the end all be all of existence, when
you go on social media and say that that's a
really really big deal, that's the twenty year ago equivalent
(04:56):
of having a press conference of saying I can't be
here anymore. I can't do it like being on going
on social media and saying I no longer want to
be here. That's the moment you knew that was gonna happen.
And that's when Jerry Jones had to say, Okay, this
is really my last guest chance to do this to
sign Micah Parsons. This is that moment, and instead, what
did he do? I'm just gonna inflame things along the way,
(05:17):
and I'm going to insult Micah Parson's agent. I'm gonna
go on a big television spew and do a bunch
of different shows and say, well, the agent told us
to stick it up our blank and all the different
things he wanted to say trying to win the pr battle.
When what he had to do at that point that
was okay, we now have to make this happen, right,
we have to make this happen. That was the mistake
(05:38):
when when Micah Parsons did that, that was such a
big deal and I think that was really people looked
at that and said, yeah, he's saying something on social media. No,
when you say that on social media, that's the biggest thing.
But that's a whoe take me by surprise moment saying
this is not part of a negotiation. This is not
I want more money. I'm not respected. They need to
(05:59):
show me money if they if they want to value
me as a player I made maybe maybe, but I
no longer want to be here. That was the moment
when I said this is going to end in a
trade because Micah Parsons is a different dude than all
the other Cowboys stars. That stayed quiet. Let Jerry Jones
talk in the media got paid. That was the moment
I knew, And that's why I said it's going to
(06:20):
end in a trade And for all the experts always
gonna get Paige got paid a pack not gonna happen
because it was personal a month ago. And all it's
done is gotten worse in the last three weeks.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I don't pretend to be an insider. I'll take the
l on it and in the end, I've lost nothing. Again,
the Cowboys are a mid team one way or the other. Uh,
it just gave us a storyline for a month. We
did our gratitude. Yes, moment does he does he jump
ahead of?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Does he jump ahead of Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
It's done.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Maybe.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, we gave the award the other night. Yeah, like
when he posted the thing on social media.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Look, I've seen a lot of people, no matter the age,
say a lot of dumb things is on social media
and then immediately be.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Like, Eh, maybe I shouldn't have had but it's out there.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (07:05):
How many times have we seen guys post stuff and
then delete it? Yeah, the internet lives forever. It's not
going anywhere, So you know, I only gave it so
much credence, but certainly we recognized it's it was taking
on a different life than any of the past negotiations.
Even if you saw the latest documentary effort, the as
(07:25):
people call it, the ass Kissing of Jerry Jones, uh
and Allen Whenever, may.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You look good in this special because I'm gonna make
a big trade that people aren't gonna like. So I
just want to make sure I can, you know, just
calm myself by getting on a Netflix and clicking on
and watching a squid game and then seeing that I
look good on this documentary.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
What was funny with a lot of the press that
he's done the last couple weeks to tie that together
is I really kept waiting for him to say, don't
forget to watch the documentary, like he was gonna be
sitting there with Billy Bush or somebody instead of normal
you know, sports reporters like, hey, you should watch it,
don't forget. I was also land man, I was really good.
We're gonna try all we can to get this contract done.
(08:04):
Netflix ass Backslash Cowboys, But make sure you watch search
it on your Roku and just click on the Netflix button.
It should just come up right there.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I mean, it should have been on the lower thirty.
Should have been standing there wearing a sandwich board.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Top ten in the United Kingdom? How did I get
on steven? How did I get on this page? What
is this department? Cu?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
How did I get on there? I don't understand?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Come on, did it show me how I'll get to
that stud just like Pitbull or mister worldwide, that's what
you are, Jerry. But all of that to say it
was taking on a different tone in tenor, and then
Jerry started getting salty Jerry and showing a little different
face in these these interviews. And again you believe what
you want in the the timelines to continue them. The
(08:46):
dollars and cents of it all got to a point
where he made a deal today where for for Jerry
Jones if he'd come back over the top.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
So we got to one eighty eight. We didn't quite
get to the two hundred million dollars. Should but you
know what, what was the price that would have kept him?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Don't know?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But we know the thing, and I think you and
I talked about this probably more than anybody else Bogolta
being the the agent was the big X factor to
all of this, right, A guy who's held players out
deep into camps before, a guy who's had big moments,
the guy who got Deshaun Watson that giant guaranteed deal.
(09:25):
Don't think that doesn't play a little role in whatever
communications were going back and forth, like really, look what
I got for that guy. Now you explain everybody that
Mulagata is the agent because because Jerry Jones never says
his name.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Just the agent, the agent. Agent.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, in this piece, the agent. You know, I watched
the Night Agent that was on the Netflix too. That
was a big I clicked on the thumbs up and
now is that get everything that says not an agent,
so it's all it comes up.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
It was a night Agent.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
That was the one where the guys the uh, the
the Secret Service agent and he gets involved in this situation.
Yeah not because well because he works the night desk,
like when all the you know, and a phone call
comes in that is a woman in trouble and of
course he has to investigate it like he's on the
lower because he did something that got him busted down
(10:14):
from Secret Service to you just watch the phones, and
then of course that he finds his way into this
big The book was really good. The ministrier is a
little bit different, but that was the whole thing. Was like,
I'm the guy, I'm all that there farmed me out
to past her. I made a mistake. I just answered
the phones and a phone call comes in and the
and the woman says the right password that gets her
to the Secret Service. So he does the investigation, and
(10:36):
of course it's an inside job and I'm not spoiling,
spoiling an agent for him. But then I saw that
it was an inside job, and at the end we
traded Maca. So that's that's how it went for it.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I do want to see Jerry Jones as a contestant
on password. Now, now did you say that? So let's
try to make that happen. But the last of it just.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Be I can only say one word if I want
you to get Maca Parsons. I want to say linebacker
that we traded got a couple of first round picks.
Forum Center. The packers like you should get Michael Parsons
off that what's gotta be one word? Do you get nothing?
Because by some people he's more defensive end, he's not even.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Aligned with It's one word. I just say, uh, and
that's one word.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I'm no, you got nothing. You got to read your mind.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
More talk that I like. I like exposure in the media.
You gotta let me talk.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Gotta have a press conference to explain trades whenever that
really unpopular.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah, brevity is the soul of wit in this regard,
but Molligett as part of it. I would love to
see the second side, right because for Jerry Jones, like
we tried to do this, We try to do that,
like during this whole continuum, where where did we have
spots where they actually spoke to where maybe you got
to some uh general agreement, But then the devil in
(11:46):
the details is what toured apart some of it. And
Florio had this up pro Football talking to something I
think we've alluded to it in the last couple of weeks.
Is also when you're talking about paying him, with Jerry
also in the past talking about having the franchise tag
in his back pocket of hey, this is a three
year plan that we're looking at. Was you were gonna
(12:07):
end up fighting over what his number would be being
a defensive end versus being a linebacker as related to
a franchise tag and what the average value of the
top five at the position were. Right, So were we
talking apples to oranges of here's Hendrickson, here's.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
What is Micah there? Or is he over here as
a lot like?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Right?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
So, so I think that's where some of the the
devil being in the details is of I'm gonna make
you the highest paid, but then those deals get signed
and look.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
At all the not getting any money. Look where you are, guy,
I'm so I had to list you as a punter.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I just but the fact that they paid Jake Ferguson
what they did, if you're if you're a muga leta
and Ferguson's a fine player. Yeah, he's not a a
tight end by any stretch, and he got top marketings
on for for the tight end position.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
So from MICHAEH.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Parsons, you're you're looking around going, I can't get a
squeeze a few.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Dollars more out of here.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
No, now, we'll wait, we'll talk about it from the
football perspective and a bit uh you know, no, no
disrespect to Kenny Clark coming back and play. You know,
he's he's just a minor player in this. Uh mine up,
minor mane.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
But but that's the that's the whole the whole point
is that this was at def con. Deaf Con five
is the worst one, right, this was at Dickon five
or Dickcon one. Yeah, def Con one, I think is
whatever the worst one. I gotta look that up so
I know, Like we were at def Con five on
August first.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah, def Con one is the worst, is the worst?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Okay, we were at deaf Con one on August first,
So deaf coone went all the way down.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Deaf Con five is basic peace and everything is fine.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Def Con four, def Gon four, you go to Intel
watching your security measures heightened depth Con three force readiness
increased above normal levels. Def Con two, near nuclear war.
That was when the computer started to get involved. Okay, yeah,
den Wars was playing war games and seeing the only
way to win is not to play. But like we
were at deaf Con one, that's the big thing, like
(14:09):
like the big takeaways from where We're gonna spend a
lot of time on this tonight throughout. But this was
at def Con one on August first, and either Jerry
blew it didn't realize, but whatever reason. This was that
bad a month ago, and there was one chance to
save it, and it was a month ago, and it
just didn't. It just got worse from it. It's it's
like when when two people get in a fight. A
(14:31):
couple gets in a fight and you know, okay, well
they're not going to date anyone, that that's over. And
then instead of hey, all right, well after that fight,
it's either we make up now and because that was
bad and we talk about it, or this relationship's done,
and instead it was just okay, we just played out
the next couple of weeks. I got my stuff from
your places, you got your stuff from mine, and then
(14:52):
it was done. We knew that's where it went. I mean,
this is where it was always headed after that day,
and Jerry Jones did nothing to save it. But that
I mean, the thing that people have to understand is
that when a star goes to those extents and those
lengths to say I want out, like that's oh whoa.
This is This is not negotiation. This is not part
(15:12):
of the back and forth. This is not me blowing
off steam. That's a serious series. He borrowed from that
playbook of k D and Harden and he played it great.
He got out, he got his money done, He did
so much going on, he was done.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
At that moment in assuaged. If he got a giant topiary,
a lot of flowers in a ring, like if he
was on a bachelor, well, if he pulled uh a
full Travis Kelcey, I watch, I watch, It's always Sonny
with the Danny DeVito as a golden Bachelor didn't really
end well for him, but it ended with what's your
name from taxi? But uh uh yeah, with a rose
(15:46):
and glass of champagne. And that was actually the offer
I gave Tomacca and he didn't take it. So that's
that's that's what happened there. Good morning to you.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So just number one, number one, know that that was
the moment, right, That's why we call the show ahead
of the Curve. That was the moment that we knew
that things are that serious. And the cowboys either didn't
think it was that serious or refused to play it
that serious, didn't want to even acknowledge it was that serious.
But that's what it was, and that's how they blew it.
This is why Micah Parsons is now a member of
(16:17):
the Green Baker.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I gave you a chance to make him the highest
paid player non quarterback.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I gave you a chance to keep him here forever,
and you blew it.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Coming up next, we have more on this story. We're
gonna hear from Jerry Jones, who had a very hastily
scheduled press conference following the trade today. Plus, let's revisit
another conversation we had a couple of days ago after
what one MLB superstar did tonight, a night we haven't
(16:45):
seen in years, and you only get a couple of
times over the course of your lifetime. That's next right here,

Mets are really their kryptonite. They beat the Braves nineteen
to four. Something going on in that stadium. Oh man,
I'll tend straight losses in city Field.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Nineteen to four.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
They win, And now you know, let's revisit the conversation
that we had earlier this week when it comes to
NL MVP because we told you earlier this week. Look, yes,
Shojo Tani is having a fantastic year one hundred and
fifty percent, but the MVP is not player of the year.
It's not the player with the best stats. It's who
(19:50):
has shown that I am the most valuable player to
my team. And Otani fifty to fifty last year, phenomenal season,
absolute one hundred percent. It wasn't even close this year.
What we said a few days ago, I'll double down on. Now,
Kyle Schwarber is your National League MVP, and I don't
believe it's particularly close. Now Vegas may disagree, but you're
(20:12):
talking about someone now forty five on runs. Yes, now
four more than show Heyo Tani. But bottom line, now,
Kyle Schwarber's got one hundred and nineteen RBI right like
that Dwarfs show. Hey, Otani, I mean like you're talking
about a guy that's hitting second in the batting order
and he's got one hundred and nineteen RBI, Like that's
a that's a real You're all of a sudden, he
(20:32):
now leads Pete Alonzo by eleven, and I don't know
that Alonzo can catch him, like I don't know if
that can happen. And Otani is sitting around at eighty five.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
This is no.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Longer I got you by fifteen. I guess by twelve.
He's got Otani by thirty RBI. And you can look
at all the different stats you want to and talk
about war and different things, and I understand that, but
certain things when you're a slugger and you are the
guy carrying your team this year, because look, Bryce Harper
is still a fantastic player, right, still a top five,
top seven player in Major League Baseball. The Dodgers, they
(21:02):
have a lot of good players on their team. Otani
clearly is the best. But this year Schwarber's got the
Phillies at the top of the NL East. With more
responsibility the Phillies. He's more responsible for the Phillies being
in first place than Otani is for the Dodgers being
in first place in the NL West this year. You
can't just blanketly give it to Otani ever year, because again,
(21:24):
it's not Player of the Year. It is MVP. Yes,
Sotani fine pitched last night and had a five inning
like that was great, That was great, But I mean,
you know, look, the biggest number for you know, hum
runs is a great number. It's a huge number. The
biggest number for sluggers. RBI is kind of the most
important number no matter what you want to look at.
As far as war and and ops, RBI is still
(21:46):
the most important one. And it contwar has one hundred
and nineteen again coming off and again talk about value.
Coming off a day in which the Phillies were swept
and complained about microphones and the Mets standing too close
to there to the plate when they should be on
the on deck circle, and things were falling apart from
the Phillies and they go to win an absolute laugher, and.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Now schwar Wartz got Otani by thirty y RBS.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
I'm going to take a play from from your playbook
from all those years ago dealing with Patriots stuff. It's like,
I don't know if it's not happening in other stadiums,
don't I have to ask questions about what's going on
in that building? So if the Phillies are that inept
in city Field, it was ten straight getting parabolic microphone.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It's a microphone, but is that it? Yeah, it's a microphone.
Come on, I had the microphone out there, the Mets
are standing a little too close to the plate and
on deck circle, all these things. That's how the Mets
catch you. I'm just that's how they got you. I
have to ask questions.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's how they get you.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Book.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
If we could have full on investigations and and have
it litigated for multiple years over a half a pound
PSI in a football, we can do this here because
this guy comes right back out and he bust out
the whooping stick again.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
That's how it goes, man, That's how it goes. What
do you want? What do you What do you want
from me?
Speaker 4 (22:58):
So you're saying you want to say ten games. We
can't do things at city fields.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Teams have ten game losing streaks in other people's parks.
It just so happens to be that this is the
fust place team that's lost like your team. Yeah, okay,
So do you want to have the Kyle Schwarber conversation
or do you want to say you think the Mets
a cheating?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Which which one I would have fun with?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Which?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Which one do you want? We lost to the Marlins
tonight seven to four. If we were cheating, we would
have beaten the Marlins tonight, but no, we couldn't. So
you clearly know that's out or we got to find
something else besides the microphone. Well, I mean maybe it
doesn't work. I mean it's not one size fits all.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
I mean, certainly you know you got to adapt to
your different opponent and mark as it were. As for
the Schwarber conversation, I like the cut of your gym.
I like the argument you to make, the fact that
there's been really not a whole lot of movement. We'll
talk to Todd Ferman coming up in about two hours
from now to go deeper into this, but as we
(23:51):
talked about it two days ago, Schwarber was still sixteen
to one. So not only is the public not backing it,
that means the sharps aren't jumping in at sixteen to
one either.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Which is gonna make it funny now.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
But that's what I mean, that's the curiosity, right because
if it was something that was really swaying, and this
is where we have to go find all the people
that will vote for MVP and start pulling them, which
I'm guessing some of the odds makers there in those
sportsbooks have you know, access guys, So what's what's the
wind prevailing wins? What's it saying the sharps I think
(24:24):
would be putting money into this? Would they not? I
mean just I think the argument of what Schwarber is Yeah,
makes perfect sense. But wouldn't people be trying to bload
up at sixteen to one? Are we to have a
movement of odds?
Speaker 10 (24:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Maybe they are.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Now I want to see what the odds are going
to be after tonight one of the odds for Schwarmer's MVP.
I'm curious how much did we get tonight? I don't
I don't know. I like this a thing that should
have been moving move a little bit again. It's still
going from a really long shot, Joe, I would say
it's probably still what twelve to one.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I told you to get in.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I told you, I say, hey, that pretty good odds
to get in on a few days ago.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
But where's where's the loss? Better?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Now?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
It's even better now? You're just mad at me. I
could tell you're mad at me. You're mad at me.
You've been mad for the last half hour that Michaeh
Parsons got traded. You've been mad for the last half
hour that Micah Parsons got traded. Yes, I could tell.
I know you for ten years, eleven years now, I
could tell you're mad that Michael Parson's trading.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yes you are.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
He does go to the Packers. Oh yeah, that's over
under in terms of their win total. Will move that
whole half a game.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's tough, that's yeah. Those are three teams that really
hate the Cowboys too. There's three other teams going. Man,
we're We're supposed to have great seasons, maybe super Bowl,
maybe playoffs. You know, traded because it ends the story. Yeah, yeah,
well you knew it was good Thickets the Cowboys. We
just could have dragged on.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
But I got left.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
When George Pickens starts acting like a knucklehead, yeah it No,
Picketts is not gonna be enough to move the needle
for us.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
We got nothing.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
I think I think that it's dead.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
No.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
The fact that Jerry made the right football play in this.
I think the fact that Jerry Jones, we're gonna hear
him in a couple seconds. The fact that Jerry Jones
put Dak on blast after it was over by saying,
we already gave more money than we ever have to
Dak Prescott last year Dak Like suddenly it's Dak's fault
that Micah Parson's got traded like something that, No.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Do you have as much money for him that Jerry
j now him. He's in CD.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
He's just gonna he's just gonna change his focus now
from I gotta change this story from Micah Parsons being
traded too. I'm changing it over now to oh, Dak
is the guy, don't worry about my Dak's the guy.
So if you're mad at anybody, be mad at Dak,
because Dak's the guy on the field that will not
come through for the Cowboys, and sudden it's we gave
him more money.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
That's the guy to be mad at.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I'm the guy that traded micahp You can be mad
at me, but if Dak doesn't play well, you can
be mad at him.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Okay, That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Is this the the HASLM strategy of all his missteps
and missdealings and problems and misfirings on contracts to when
it became the shdoor Sanders question that guy he led,
he wanted him.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
It's all his drafting. So yeah, I mean, maybe he's
taking the same page.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Let's listen, we got to sound about.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Here's Jerry Jones today again talking about the Micah Parsons
trade and basically.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Saying, hey, uh, don't forget I gave all that money
to Dak.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
This gives us a better chance to be a better
team than we have been the last few several years
since Michael's been here. Not any negative on Micah, but
we're trying to get better. We're trying to stop the
run and stay.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
On the hunt.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Uh yeah, so, uh, you know, more money than he
ever gave to anybody who's ever been here.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Are you looking over at Dak?
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Now?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Now it's Daxell. Dak's like, well, I get side swiped enough.
Don't your side swipe to me during this whole thing
with Michael Parsons? Come on, man, what's happening here?
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Well?
Speaker 5 (27:59):
I mean, look, you get it to do with defensive pose?
What are we always talking about? You get a rat corner?
What's he gonna do?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
He's gonna come out fighting right here?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
It is more on him talking about Dak.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
But we have the highest paid player in the NFL,
a quarterback, and we made that commitment last year and
we're proud we made it and had everything to do
with his decision.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Everything.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
It is give us every opportunity with Dak Prescott and
Lamb and the base that we've got to win.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Lamb.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I like that Lamb tap. And I'm putting CD on
there too, becuse I gave him a lot of money
last year too.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
You're getting that well because remember CD got side swipe
because cheer and more for him to get paid. Yeah, Micah, Yeah,
the decibel was higher. Who so he just grabbed him
all up in there. But it's it's like I argued
with Joe Shane last year. I don't think what he
did was wrong. I think you just get get yourself
caught up in a microphone and you say stupid things.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Now, that's that's Jerry rises.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
That's that's how Jerry doesn't man's how Shane did it
with the Saquon Barkley infamous tell phone call. And that's
what we got with with Jerry, where I was like,
who haven't I side swiped that we gave money to.
I mean the Ferguson kid got paid. He took no
incoming exit out Valda Fresca exit Swollen dome. Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Time
(29:17):
out to find out what's trending in the wide world
of sports from someone who's been called the Micah Parsons
of Fox Sports Radio. She doesn't like something, she'll tell
you on social media. It's Monty Belangos and I'm out, I'm.
Speaker 4 (29:30):

Take note.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
That's right, Michael Parson's highest paton on quarterback in NFL
history on the move, no longer a cowboy, but a
packer signing a four year, one hundred and eighty eight
million dollar extension.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
You guys are going to talk about it all night.
Speaker 11 (29:46):
We'll keep playing Jerry Jones for you listeners, so don't
you worry. But in other kind of NFL news, we
do have a college football game right at Arrowhead Stadium.
It's Nebraska and Cincinnati. Nebraska is up twenty to three,
coming down into half time right now. But this is
trending because.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Who's at this game, ont oh, thank you for this
is Michae this game. No, is he standing next to
Jerry Jones, No, but he.
Speaker 11 (30:08):
Probably wants to be in the suite that contains Taylor Swift,
Travis Kelcey, Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes. So they're at
this game, and I feel like Nebraska has already just
taken full advantage of posting videos of them at this game.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
You know, you gotta you gotta give the people what
they want. And it's Tata and Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You need, you need the picture and picture experience for
this game, well for the NFL, no for for opening
opening week Nebraska Cincinnati. Yeah, you need, you need this
small screen total and the game can be on this mall.
Speaker 11 (30:42):
There's like a clip of Taylor Swift walking by herself,
like you know, into probably going towards the suite, and
there's a girl behind her walking and it's the clip
is so short and it's Britney Mahomes, but nobody knows.
It's all like, oh, this is Taylor Swift, says Brittany
Mahomes is literally walking right by her. So they're at
that game. South Florida did crush number twenty five. Boise
State already thirty four to seven. When it comes to baseball, yeah,
(31:04):
you guys are talking about Kyle Schwarber. Four home runs today,
nine RBI, so he is at a career high forty
nine home runs one hundred and nineteen RBI pt least
crushed the Braves nineteen to four. Marlins outscored the Mets
seven to four, Yankees beat the White Sox ten to four,
and the Giants earlier today edged the Cubs four to three.
And in college hoops, guys, in casey minister, Rick Barnes
(31:26):
has signed a lifetime contract with Tennessee, committing to be
their coach for the rest of his career.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Back to you, guys, thank you very much, mancha until
they fire him. Until yes, listen, we gave you a
lifetime contract. So what's going on today?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
We're declaring you dead.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
I mean, what's a buyout?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Out a deal? We're tired of this direction doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I die.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
This is like in the movies. I need that taken
care of. You know what I mean when I say
taken care of, yeah, taking care of yeah. Listen. So
congratulations on earning that lifetime.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Now, really just throw this out here because we've got
more and Jerry Jones coming up. But I am pretty sure.
I am pretty sure. I'm not one hundred percent, but
I'm pretty sure. Ashton Gent was pretty important to Boise State.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Just soly sure that was the thing.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
And now how many college.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Football peerists are happy because already Boise State, you can
knock them out of getting a we're gonna take a
bid from us A Boise State. They're in the top
twenty five already. Of course they're gonna go like twelve
and oh and they're gonna snatch a playoff bid from US.
They get worked tonight by South Florida thirty four to seven.
So you're welcome, all college football peers. You will not
have to worry about the blue field and the Broncos
(32:35):
snatching a wild card playoff spot from you. You don't
have to be upset Alabama or Tennessee or Michigan. All
the Boise State, the scourge of college football is not
going to take a bit away from you.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Unless they go in South Bend and take down Notre
Dame in the beginning.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Of hunt over. Oh, every root for you, then they
can root for you.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Yeah, then they can jump back into the mix.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
But you're right, one day, you got a little bit
of breathing easier, because I mean, that's a lot of
the lamentation when we get early season matchups. In this case,
just the the trip down to the South Florida Bulls
taking him down in grand style thirty four to seven.
Just an absolute beatdown. And you know, now, I guess
in the fourth quarter you just run a bunch of
(33:20):
highlights of Ashton genty.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yeah, that's what happens, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Just here here he was last year. Hey, here's what
he looked like in the preseason.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
This looked great.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
How great is he gonna be at the next level?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
By the way, just to tie up the Schwarber thing
for a sec twenty first player in Major league history
with a four home run game. He was thanked almost
instantly by Mike Cameron.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Yeah that was nice. It was awesome, and it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
I know, Mike Cameron jumping up and down, But I
did that, Remember me? Remember me, Mark Whitten. I'm sure
we'll thank you.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
It's not just Kurts and this guy.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
No, no, no, But coming up next, maybe the strongest,
most shocking thing you can say about Jerry Jones after
the Micah Parsons trade to the Packers. That straight head
right here, Jason, Mike, you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Jerry Jones can't run a team the right way. Trade
it away his best player. Now he's got a defensive
tackle and two first rounders that can't help until next year.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
How does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
In what world?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
MCU six sixteen, five eighty one fourteen, Fox Sports Radio, JA.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
How many comic books are you going to go into
before we're down here?
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Too many worlds? It's too many worlds world.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
You know, there's one world, at least one world where
Micah Parsons is going is going to the Hall of
Fame as a Dallas Cowboy. I don't know, I don't
know what MCU world that is, but there's got to
be an MCU world where that's happened.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
I kind of like that world. It's Jerry was going
to be around. Bring him in.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
It's not this one though.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
It's not six six, not happing, no more Ring of
Honor possibility either.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Oh no, no, no, no, that's not that banned.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Hey. Micah Parsons is a member of the Green Bay Packers.
The Cowboys making the trade today, shaking the NFL world
with the news what does this mean for many teams
odds to get to the Super Bowl? Joining us down
the hot line? Is nobody better? Longtime Vegas insider friend
of the show, Todd Furman. Check him out on Twitter
(35:34):
at Todd Furman. See him on CBS sports Line all
over the place TSN. He's on there regularly, Todd. What's happening, man?
Speaker 3 (35:41):
How are you?
Speaker 10 (35:42):
I'm doing well, gentlemen, But you know what the irony
is in all of this situation that's unfolded in Dallas.
Jerry Jones still runs a better franchise than Woody Johnson
does in New York. So the Cowboys always have that.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
I don't know about that, man.
Speaker 10 (35:55):
It's something that Jared can hang his hat on, regardless
of how old and senile he gets his contract negotiations
that are in violation of the CBA.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
YEA don't know about that, because, first of all, actually
people come to the Jets, they actually want to be here. Uh,
we are problem is that our problem, our problem, and
our problem is bringing in the wrong players. It's not
our star players want to leave. That's a bigger problem.
That's a bigger you gotta got.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
They gotta be a destination man.
Speaker 10 (36:22):
And we're more of a destination I don't think I've
ever heard the Jets described as a destination franchise. But
whatever world you live in and wanted that job prisoners
of the moment.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
My friend, Jets have a better head coach, The Jets
have a better general manager. The Jets have have better
talent across the board. Like I mean that, I don't
know what to tell you.
Speaker 10 (36:41):
That's the tread and they have a win total it's
still two games lower than the Dallas Cowboys because they
reside in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
So well, okay, well that elson So what did happen
to the odds of the Dallas Cowboys after the trade
of Michael Parsons today?
Speaker 10 (36:54):
This was a Cowboys team that the market hadn't been
real bullish on going into the season to begin with.
Their win total as largely hung earlier this summer around
seven and a half, and we haven't seen much in
the way of adjustments for the Dallas Cowboys. You look
at what their number is at some prominent books, and
that's kind of the consensus price tag. Now, if you
want to go over that, you can still get a
little bit of favorable juice working in your favor. Well, look,
(37:17):
this is a Dallas team that questions along the offensive line.
They had questions defensively even before they parted ways with
Micah Parsons. And while a lot of people were thinking
this could be a rebound year with a healthy Dak Prescott,
I think the offense is now going to have to
do everything in their power to outscore some of those
defensive deficiencies. So I wouldn't be running to buy Dallas
Cowboys stock anytime soon. But from a fantasy standpoint, I'm
(37:39):
sure having George Pickens on your roster along with Ceedee
Lamb or Deck can potentially pay dividends if they're in games.
There are at thirty eight to thirty one every Sunday
all fall long.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Yeah, I'm now just going to have a split screen
graphic of Dak Prescott and Joe Burrow with me all
year long. Both sides are the same coin in that
regard for the Week one game against the Eagles, was
is that already priced in that he wasn't going to play?
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Or we see a movement.
Speaker 10 (38:04):
You saw a little bit of movement actually starts trickle
into the market. Yesterday the total that got as low
as forty six this summer out to forty seven and
forty seven and a half. And that was amid speculation
that even if Parsons did sign a deal to remain
a member of the Dallas Cowboys, that he wasn't going
to be available for week one, or if he was,
it was probably going to be in a limited capacity.
You also saw the six and a half get cleared
(38:25):
out of the market in favor of a seven. It
wouldn't be surprising to me at all if this number
continued to trend to seven and a half before we
get to kickoff next Thursday night, going to be tough
for bookmakers to convince people to walk to the window
and bet the Dallas Cowboys in this particular spot. So,
as we always say, the betting market will typically tip
its hand. But I don't think anybody anticipated this kind
of blockbuster deal with Michael Parsons being shipped to Green
(38:47):
Bay in exchange for two first round picks Kenny Clark
and the life changing money at roughly forty seven million
a year that he was able to lock down.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
All right, So now that Michah Parsons is a member
of the Green Bay Pack, as we talked about the
other three teams that hate this trade the most, the Vikings,
the Bears and the Lions. What does this do for
the odds of those all four of those NFC North teams.
With the Packers getting Micah Parsons and now the other teams,
you know, now it's going to be a little bit more,
much more difficult for them to do what they want
to do this year.
Speaker 10 (39:16):
Yeah, the Packers really become the beneficiary from an odds perspective.
They move themselves into that second tier. I kind of
say that the first tier as it stands as the Ravens, Bills, Eagles,
and Chiefs. You can say what you want picking out
flaws for any of those four teams, and you wouldn't
be wrong. But the Packers go from a team price
and that's sixteen eighteen to one range now more or
less mentioned in the same breath as the AFT four
(39:36):
mentioned Detroit Lions. And if you look at the dynamics
specifically as it pertains to how the pecking order will
unfold in the NFC North, we've seen some prominent books
actually move the Green Bay Packers ahead of the Detroit
Lions and make them a favorite. The Vikings and Bears
still there picking up their rear. So when you add
that kind of talent in the short term, it makes
a dynamic defense, you know, that much better and a
(39:58):
group that's going to benefit imensely from one of the
premier pass rushers in the league. I think the biggest
question Packers fans will have now is when will they
see Michael Parsons make his debut in a full capacity. Look,
I don't expect him to be out there week one
against the Lions. Green Bay has a short week before
they'll take on the Commanders on Thursday night, So in
my opinion, you probably won't see him get his full
snap shore until week three. If his back issue isn't
(40:20):
a looming thing that can hang over this potential trade
and limits some of his effectiveness on the field.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
Yeah, I hope you look at his chops because week three,
if I'm right, they've got the Browns, so you can
go and take out Joe Flacco.
Speaker 10 (40:34):
Doesn't It doesn't hurt when you're trying to get into
the backfield to attack a statue at that point in
his career, So if Micah wanted to buy his time,
that would not be the worst landing spot. And then gentlemen,
what do we have on the schedule for the Green
Bay Packers Sunday Night Football at the end of September.
Micah Parsons gets to make his triumphant return home and
I have to imagine he will be cheered by Cowboys
(40:56):
fans and Jarro will be the one drawing the ire
of their disdain.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
What did it do for their overall number for the
NFC title and the Winds total because they were at
nine and a half.
Speaker 10 (41:08):
Yeah, number shortened a little bit and we saw the
juice flip a touch for Green Bay, You're not going
to see that much in the way of movement on
some of those particular markets. What I do think is
fascinating is Micah was already, you know, mentioned amongst the
favorites for Defensive Player of the Year, and I've seen
some books shorten his odds to a price tag of
less than two to one. For me, it's pretty wild
(41:28):
if anybody is running the window to try and back
him at that number. But I think it's books doing
as much to kind of protect potential liability accumulating there
as people are always prisoner of the moment they want
to gravitate towards that shiny object and in today's NFL world,
Michael parsons that very definition of such.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Todd Furman vegas inside of our guest. All right, so
let's head to college football. You know, we're seeing games
tonight and everyone's kind of starting to get in the mode.
This weekend belongs to college football. Clearly no game bigger
than Texas Ohio State. What are your thoughts on this one,
because now tonight we start the countdown to Texas Ohio State.
Speaker 10 (42:03):
You know, if we use tonight as an indication, hopefully
folks who are looking at bet underdogs, underdogs on the
main rotation go seven to one against the number. The
only favorite that gets there is Wyoming over Acron and
the true barn burner of the entire weekend Wyoming out
lasting the Zips ten nothing in a game that may
be set football back one hundred plus years as far
as the Marquee games are concerned.
Speaker 8 (42:23):
Though.
Speaker 10 (42:23):
Look, we have a couple of fun games tomorrow night
to kick things off. You know, Baylor and Auburn doing battle,
two teams that would love to try and kickstart their
season and keep their respective head coaches off the hot seat.
And then anytime that Dion is available in prime time.
You know there are going to be eyeballs there with
Colorado short home underdog in Georgia Tech. But in terms
of the marquee matchups, look books have told me that
(42:43):
Texas continues to get a ton of attention in the
betting market. I was stunned to see a prominent book
out here in the Desert actually moved Texas to a
one point favorite after they took a substantial six figure bet.
I think there's a lot of expectations around this Texas
team being able to exact the measure of event for
a playoff game that got away from them, thinking that
Archie Maning's going to hit the ground running, and questions
(43:05):
more importantly on the Ohio State side, not just about
the quarterback position and Julian san and what he'll be
able to do, but a new offensive coordinator and a
new defensive coordinator. But I'd be very intrigued as the
Buckeyes continue to drift out and the other two big
games LSU and Clemson. Look, I think LSU one of
the more talented teams in the country, right there with Clemson,
and it wouldn't surprise me at all if that number
(43:25):
started a trend towards a field goal with LSU taking money,
and then on Sunday, I expect a somewhat lower scoring
game between Notre Dame and Miami, two teams that are
going to be very comfortable running the football and trying
to force their opponents to methodically move the ball down
the field.
Speaker 5 (43:39):
All right, last one time, be remiss if we didn't
revisit it. Something we've been talking about a lot as
we get into MBP odds and fund Kyle schwarb tonight
four home run game gives him forty nine on the
year and starting to get a little bit of a
ground well of support. It's nothing else is the market
moving it all last I looked it was still plus
sixteen hundred to try to upend show Hao Toani.
Speaker 10 (44:02):
Yeah, look, I mean apparently JP Morosi was rubbing his
crystal ball when he was on with you guys earlier
in this week saying that this race was significantly closer.
You looked at the betting odds at that time and
shoe Heo Tani was a runaway favorite. But what has
Kyle Schwarber done by virtue becoming the twenty first player
in Major League baseball history, hit four home runs in
a game, his odds have shrunk from sixteen to one
to win NLMVP now down to five to one. Show
(44:25):
Hayes price coming down substantially as well, So maybe it
truly will be a two horse race over the final
twenty to twenty five games. Yo Schwarber providing all of
that power in the Phillies lineup, and when you have
the kind of headline game that he did tonight, it
turns plenty of eyeballs and they want to go in
a different direction. So that race has tightened up some. Meanwhile,
in the American League at two horse race as well,
(44:46):
Aaron Jodge's flight favorite in that minus a dollar sixty
range Cal Rawley at plus a dollar thirty. I think
that one will come down to the final games of
the regular season. Should be fun to watch in both
respective leagues, and I think team success could play a
fact as well in terms of which player ultimately emerges
a top the heat in both the American League and
National League MVP market.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
He's on Twitter at Todd Furman, that is at Todd Furman,
and he says his best bet of the week in
college football Syracuse and Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
Take the Orange team.
Speaker 10 (45:17):
That one you can count on for sure. I thought
you were gonna tell me it was the Orange money line,
and I was gonna have to say my connection was
starting to break up.
Speaker 4 (45:26):
Take it, easy money. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Always a pleasure, guys, Appreciate.
Speaker 4 (45:29):
It, Todd.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Thanks great stuff from Todd Furman right there. Look tomorrow
that'll be a big college football night previewing the big week.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
Well, we got.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Colorado and Action tomorrow. Tomorrow is gonna be fun. Tomorrow,
mane Oh, there's so much going on. The trade went
down tonight, so it's okay. Well, I mean you got
to keep your headlines. Yeah, yeah, no, that is true.
