You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Hello, Welcome inside. Happy Wednesday.
It's a happy Wednesday in Canada. I know that, no
question about it. The Jason Smith Show with my base friend.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Mike Harmon, Well Dressed Hobo.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
For over forty.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Years, Tirerac's been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free, backed

mobile tire installation tirerac dot Com.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
He is the way tire buying should be.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
And yes, all of Canada right now excited because maybe
maybe the Mariners aren't going to the World Series. It
is twelve to two. The Blue Jays home run party
continues in Seattle, their first ALCS game in twenty four years,
and they might give up twenty Kirk has just gone

(01:19):
deep for a home run.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Again.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
We are barely halfway through this game, a game that
started about four hours ago sometime in the nineteen nineties,
and it is twelve to two Blue Jays. I feel
pretty safe and saying I feel like they're gonna cut
the deficit to two to one the Alses.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
I feel pretty safe for that.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Well, remember the it was a long time ago where
Julio Rodriguez hit that two run home run.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Long time, long time ago.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
You thought, oh, here they are, man, it's gonna be
three zip that they're printing World Series tickets in Seattle
after Jay Rod hit that home and then we had
to back the bus up.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, as it's been twelve unanswered, get a t oh, baby,
get a t o. It's a toggly.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
You're playing good ball. Don't come down here. You gotta
get a time. Are you gonna talk it over? Kirby
uh was allowed to stay in long enough to give
up eight earned.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Did not have that in my Bingko card that George
Kirby was going to stay in the game that long
and give up three bombs like that.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Did not have that.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
But you're torn, you're in the all right, He's getting
absolutely shellac. Do we just let him just get beaten
to a pulp so we don't go deep into the bullpen?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Not clearly reaction. All right, we're done. Yeah, but then
they took him out. It was to get out of
the fifth. Now it's like it doesn't matter who we
bring it.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, and it makes no Next next man up, conga
line Spranger with a homer.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Vladimir Garel Junior. Rumors of his death were greatly.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Exaggerated, and he had a big solo home run back
and letting collar him n Is and Kirk. He got
so many.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
The best part of this game is that if you squint, Yeah,
if you squint, I can see Dave Steve pitching with
these uniforms, glorious uniforms that the that that that the
Blue Jays have their throwback unis. I can see Dave
Steve pitching. I could see ground balls to either Kelly
Gruber or Ed Spring.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Right.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
If I squint, I could see maybe it's Joe Carter
batting right like with these uniforms they're so I mean,
these are some of the best uniforms. We're gonna have
talk a lot about uniforms like the Chargers are wearing.
They're all gold uniforms, which are interesting. But like these
Blue Jays, I love gold, these Blue Jay uniforms.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Man.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
I don't know what it is, but the the light
blue seventies throwback unis that you see from the Phillies
and the Cardinals and the Blue Jays like it just
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
It just absolutely I just go, oh man, these are great.
I could just start thinking.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
About all those from back in the day, like you
just did there. Yeah, you started thinking about Ernie Witt,
started thinking about all of those pictures, and certainly Dave
Steve comes to mind.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
John Mayberry, sure sure, Jesse Barfield, George Bell, yeah, George Bell, White,
Sox legend, yeah, Devon White, sure, Divo when he was
an angel, the late Tony Fernandez, sure sure, all of them.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Hell of a short stop. Those some teams. Man.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
The I mean, these uniforms are just absolutely outstanding. I mean, really,
you squint because anybody with a mustache, well that's Dave Steve. Okay,
mustache is Dave Steve. Okay, that's great. You get a mustache,
you're pitching, and you know what's the thing, though, Like
the last couple of years. I feel like it's it's
it's not it's more pictures than anything else. But like, wow,
why do so many pictures have mustache? I don't know,

(04:27):
it became a thing's become a thing. Skis all all
the way down. Yeah, Like I mean you feel like
Manchu though, no, we're going straight mustag.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Why are the pictures going with mustache lasso?

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh wow, I don't know. Well, and as I say,
they cut away to Calorawley mustache. I mean, like lots
of players have. But I feel like pictures now they've
really decided, Hey, we're going with the mustache. We like
the mustache looking, We're going with the mustache, like we're
bringing that back.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
By the way, you know, we've been talking about the
National League and the failed to hit by pitch that
could have saved them in Game one. Juia Rodriguez just
tried to le into one. He just didn't get there. Yeah,
but he tried to put his ass into it to
get a base run it.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I don't know that I would lean it, worry about
leaning into it. In the sixth inning of a twelve
it's only Sixtus I might save that. I got twelve
outs man, you might save that for when I have
a baseball shaped bruise on my ass. If I could
be a dramatic, you become a legend. H I think
I was standing there with a pitchfork forever. You know,
you know you, and you're tried. And here's where I
learned work. Here's here's where I tried to who you

(05:25):
did that. Here's where I learned about saving a play
like that for when you need it right, which obviously
Bryce Terrang needed that. Like I remember, I used to
work with James Worthy at Fox Sports one and he
was great.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
He would no, no, no. I played softball with Worthy
like Worthy was so. He was such a fun dude.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
And one of the big plays he had in the finals,
the and the end of of of one of the
games against the Celtics in the finals was when he
stole the inbounds pass because Kevin McHale kind of threw
in a lazy pass and he deflected it and they stole.
It was a really big play. And I remember asking
him about that once and I said, hey, what about
that play? He goes, Let me tell you about that play.
I said, well, he goes. I knew I was gonna
have that in the first half, I said, when he goes,

(06:05):
because I saw a beginning at the beginning of the game.
A couple of times I guard the inbound and McHale
was really lazy, you know, passing that ball out, and
I said, Okay, you know what, I'm gonna save that
for when we need it. You know, I can get
a turnover now and we can get the ball, but
it's along, but I'm not getting that, and I'm gonna
save it for when I need it, because then that's
all it is.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
He was.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
So I saved that, and I knew the inbound play here,
then this is what I'm gonna use it.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
And I got it. And now, hey, no one would talk.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
You wouldn't ask me about that if I did that
in the first quarter, gek wouldn't you?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I said, no, I wouldn't go.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
But I knew.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I said, I'm gonna save that. I'm gonna save that.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I was like, okay, Jane, I get I understand now,
crazy like a fox, Yeah, I understand. Yeah, guys, Champagne
James man, he was fun deal. He was fun and
fun and fun dude to uh to play softball with
yea like he had softball skills man like it would
take hands, you know, he would he had a he
had a corkscrew swing. And we got a big basketball
story coming up in a second. Is he would have

(06:58):
He was like looked like he was maybe five to seven,
and then he would completely come out of his into
his into his uh, into his stance, and it's like,
oh my god, he looks like he's twelve feet tall,
and he would corkscrew.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
He hit a ball down the.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Line once in a game that should have been a double, right,
It was down the line over that he was Lefty
hit the ball over the first baseman's head. And this
is Worthy is in his forties, right, like I'm probably thirty,
you know, my late twenties or worthies at this point,
probably in his early forties. And it should be a
double because it's over the first baseman's head. It's down
the line, and the right fielder goes to get it, stops,

(07:32):
turns and throws it in. But I'm watching Worthy run
and it is I've never far the basis.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
It was the base the normal soft normal size, normal
normal softball, nine sixty.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Sixty feet soft ball, sixty feet softball. And I'm watching
him run and I've never seen someone run like this ever.
I'm not lying when I'm telling you it's three straws
or four to get from base to base. And I'm
watching this, going he's going to get a home run
because he's nearly at second base when normally you're turning
first base when the ball's about to be got and

(08:04):
you make the turn, you go in and you always like,
I'm going, he's gonna he's good, this is gonna be
a home run. And I'm watching I've never seen someone
the strides in him rounding the bases like that, you know,
Worthy sixty nine. I've never seen that before or since.
And I said, oh, my guy, said James, that was unbelievable.
He goes, I have I have a set of skills and.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I was like wow.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
And then years later Liam Neeson used that in the movie.
I'm like, wow, you should have saved that. What should
have pattened that? Because he's he said I had a
special set of skills. Before Liambesa had a special set
of skills that was worthy.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Man.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
See, I probably would have gotten punched in the face
by going, yeah, you're six now, yeah, you're supposed to
be doing that Okay, you got big stride six n Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Uh so again, look, we'll keep you updated with what's.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Going on in Major League Baseball. I think I just
saw Alfredo Griffin. Yeah, twell, Alfredo Griffin, Bob Baylor. Yeah,
oh yeah we go. Let's we go all through this
all night, man Ron, fairly.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Sure, all the way. Yeah. Willie Upshaw was one of
my favorites.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Hey, Willy Upshaw, home run, strikeout or a walk? No,
that was really Upshaw. He could have played. He fits
right into today's game. It would have been a superstar
in today's game.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
But look, we have a big preseason NBA game coming
up in about twenty minutes. It's Skinny Luca against the
Mavericks and Cooper Flag. So that's gonna be fun. Uh
So we'll keep you posted on that because Anthony Davis
in the gut.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Uh maybe maybe maybe I'm miss skin I'm telling you
it's the middle finger Luka dauntic Tour. It's gonna be
You didn't think you thought I was gonna be pudgy
the whole time? Yeah, okay, middle fingered. I don't care
if Lebron's playing or not. I'm dragging us to the
top of the Western Conference.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
That's gonna be do a cross court pass that might
be a bit errant that lands on a bat chair
back next to Nico. No, no, no, he just completely
throws a baseball pass like five feet away and just
guns it like one of those chest pass I'm sorry,
I thought my guy was gotten back.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
He's got no touch on it, like he's Bryce Underwood.
He's got no touch. It just flies right by a
little slide by and rids Underwood. He just opened the
card doors. He he's gonna have a little bit of
touch on the ball. But uh no, but clearly felt
that one to have a bit of an appreciation moment
here because because this is this is a big story

(10:23):
from today, right Like again, the Laker game is gonna
be funny. Maybe Nico gets a ball in the face.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Maybe not Skinny Luca, Yesny Luca, but uh, Skinny Luca.
Is that a QR coat on his arm though? Or
what's that tattoo of I think you scan it? I
think you, Skinny Luca. I was just talking him, Skinny Jason.
You were already going on to the next big Well
the game starting at twenty minutes. We got time for
the games.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Can Lu skinny Lucas are we gonna play though he's
still skinny? Luca Reeves is not gonna played it. Yeah, Oh,
we're just we're just getting word. We're seeing it in
the Lakers pregame. Luca Queen Garbage is not gonna play tonight.
Luca sitting out the back to back not playing.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Load management comes to the preseason. Two more games in
the preseason. Let's get we have to worry about that game.
That's the end of that one I worry about. We're
all going, let's go back to blue j No, we call.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
That in Lakerland, right, what's that Lebron.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
Yeah, that's it. He's gonna he's gonna be doing a
live stream in the middle of the game.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Eh. I'm fine. I'm not. I'm just sitting out back
to back. I'm good.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's holding, I mean all good. But an appreciation moment
here for a couple of minutes, because Russell Westbrook is
back for his eighteenth year signing with the Kings. This
is someone whose career I thought was over I don't know,
six years ago, when it seemed like nobody wanted him.

(11:44):
And is he really gonna come off the bench, and
he's really gonna be somebody that that is a lesser
version of the superstar version of himself that he was.
That's it, man, He's done, and here he is. It's
six years later and he's still kicking it. He's still
playing some import minutes. And look the Kings, they could
have a you know, look, the Kings are a team
with a lot of young talent. And look, we've seen

(12:06):
Russell Westbrook fit in at in other places playing a
lesser role. I appreciate the fact that he is still
doing this. He is still willing to come off the bench,
beers or whatever it is, and he's still doing knowing
full well that not every NBA player would do that,
and knowing that the criticism that he gets that he
has gotten throughout his career, and he's still coming back

(12:28):
to the NBA to play every year. That really is something.
He's gonna be a guy.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
I mean, he's gonna be forty seven years old and
we're gonna say back for back for a year twenty
He's me Julio Franco the NBA.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
He's gonna be playing all the way down. I'll I'll come.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
It's like he might come off the bench for twenty years,
like he might be a twenty year bench guy after
winning the MVP and being a starter and averaging a
triple double during the season. A couple of times like
I'm coming off the bench for fifteen twenty years, that's
my last act in the NBA. He's gonna shoot in
the low forty percent. He's gonna score twelve to fourteen
points per game, give you a handful of assists, a

(13:03):
handful of rebounds, a couple of anxious moments. But as
a second unit guy at this point, if he's willing
to play for lesser money, why not.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah right, I.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Mean, we'll talk about the intensity again. There are moments
that are head scratchers. Same day that they announced Keegan
Murray got his five year, one hundred and forty million
dollar extension. Remember we drafted fourth overall out of Iowa
in twenty twenty two, So a huge day for the
Sacramento Kings.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Exit out about a Fresca exit Swelling Dome the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Corman. Just to
have an appreciation moment here for Russell Westbrook. Eighteen years
in kicking out, I met that I want him to
have fifteen years off the bench. That's what I wanted
to be, fifteen years off the bench. I appreciate him.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Coming up next, not one, not two, but three late
breaking NFL stories involving quarterbacks potentially coming out of retirement,
wide receivers who may or may not be with their
current team. Keep it right here, Jason and Mike, Fox
Sports Radio, ty Shirt, ty Shirt.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
It's the end of October.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
So exact, it's the It's if we were in Australia,
you'd be correct.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
No, yeah, no, yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Did the gopher see itself that it's not It's not
a gopher should be It's okay, No, it's maybe they's
a groundhog.

I'm the producer of the Paul and Toni Fusco Show.
Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to
the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen
to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Greetings, Welcome inside the Jason Smith Show with Paul and
Erko's best friend Mike Harmon.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Is that a new one?

Speaker 4 (15:26):
The last time Paul can Erko picked up the phone,
that was eight years ago. I think I think he
broke it in half and threw it in a river.
I had to delete the ending.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
You did blank? You remember correctly? Yeah? You did? You did.
That was the good part of the message. That's okay,
that's all right.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
What happy birthday you old man.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
But yes, in an effort that now makes it even
easier to steal Harmon's identity. Today is Mike Harmon's birthday.
Happy birthday, my friend.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Thanks buddy, I appreciate that you got everybody out trying
to hack everything that I do.

Speaker 1 (16:01):

No, it's been a couple of years.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
Every once in a while there's a an eyebrow razor
and then I go okay, girls, and they immediately just
going no, it's probably Ty Shirt. They're running a game
on me, like they're playing the Spider Man meme with
my credit card.

Speaker 7 (16:28):

No, appreciate your birthday because you brought in the saddest
looking dinner.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
It was a good looking vegetable omelet with with a
little half of a sweet potato. You brought in the
food version of Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. That was no, no, no,
I have it. I also had all on it. I
also have his Halloween outfit with all the holes that
got a rock.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
That meal looked awful.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
But dude, we're gonna order wings for your birth Come on, man,

Speaker 4 (17:04):
But happy birthday, Mike. I appreciate you, buddy, thank you.
We made it another spin. It's your birthday allegedly.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Type in that's what my mom sa, all of all
of Harmon's, all of Harmon's bank accounts. Now, just type
in ten to fifteen and see if that's a password,
and see if they get you in good. Sorry, what yeah,
ten to fifteen. Yeah, my mom sent me a card
that said it was in fact.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
My birthday, so I have to believe them. All right,
Well that's good. I don't know, right, that's good.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
She still send you get a car, you get it?
Paid for my lunch for sure. I got to take
eleanor off for lunch.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
And oh, she sent you like a gift card. They
always send me money, like ten dollars. Here's ten dollars
more than the great iss that you know. You have
to hug a little longer for that. And then you
get five at the end of it.

Speaker 8 (17:48):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
You're in your fifties and your mom still send you money.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Well, does Walt ever pick up a check? Oh no, no, no,
I'm asking. I'm asking a legitimate question.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Check that will be his first. All I'm saying is,
if my family lived closer.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
We're talking Illinois and Florida, the odds are we'd go
out to a meal once in a while and they'd
pick up a check.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, said, show, that's kind of what the deal is.
Some money for his birthday.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
He's fifty one, Send him a cup. I think my
mom's gonna come and kick your ass. I've seen her
throw down before, so be careful.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
I was. I was once tied to a share.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Because I was a lefty in kindergarten, I think, and
my mom had to come get me to go to
the hospital because my grandma took a fall. She about
knocked the substitute teacher out. I was the devil because
I was left handed.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
I think, once I've seen her throw she'll get at you.
Once you're about twenty five, I think you still'll stop
getting money. No, let's stop getting money. Why I'm not
living with them?

Speaker 4 (18:50):
I know they decided to pick up the check with
a meal from three thousand miles away. That's a problem.
But they could she said you a gift card or
something like that. That's just the same Damn's team you
might have. What was that different? It's the thought that counts.
It's always the thought.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
But if they give me a gift card, it's you
a specific place.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
That I may not want to go, and then I've
got to put it off on somebody else and all
I have to do is regive that instead. So you
give me the cash, I can do whatever the hell
I want. I want to gamble it, so I want
to go throw it down on the ponies.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
I want to go back. I want to go. I
want to go back fifty scratchers. I can do that. Mom,
who loves you?

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, because you're you're the only one of the grandchildren,
so you're like the number one son.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Don't say that.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Okay, you're the number one son. She would send you
a gift card to a place you would want to go.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
But the potential is no, no, no, It's all about potential.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Right, It's all about potential.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
That you send me something because you think, hey, this
would be cool, and then I say yeah, it's on
my bag, Michael. I know you hate this place, but
your father won a gift card down at the UH
at the at the Knights of Columbus, So here you go.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Hey, the potential is here.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
I don't see anybody except the merchants in this weird
state we live in UH that don't accept cash. Oh,
because that's the most offensive thing to me when I
go to try to buy something that, well, we don't
take cash.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
No, no cash, we're cash. In other words, you don't
trust your employees. Yeah, well yeah at all? Well, or
it's just easier without cash. You have to wear to
worry about all the pesky counting on and being even
and all that stuff, and the cash. You don't trust
your employees or yourself.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Count.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
One of the biggest phrase words in business is shortage.
Hey want to go make sure shortage doesn't happen. Right,
It's why a costco they always look at your thing.
We are we're gonna check off, you know, not seeing everything.
You're not seeing everything in my car now, just got
to check it.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Okay, Great they count the number of items, Yeah they don't.
They don't look for the actual items. May count.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
I don't think they can, because if you have twenty
items in your car, they're not gonna count twenty and
then can they? They just take your receipt and go, Okay,
it looks yeah, it looks back a great.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
There you go, hright, we'll go give it to you.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Get out of here. You must look more honest than
I do. I guess I get the one so good,
you go to wow, Okay, well maybe I mean okay,
or maybe they just at that particular location have more
shrinkage that they have to deal with. Either way, you
feed out to the food court, you get your double
chunk chocolate chip cookie, a nice frosty mocha, and you
go on your way.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
So then my Carmen birthday show again. Yeah, swollen dome,
tell me how pretty I am?

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Is it really your birth in your fifties getting cash
from your parents? Hey, judge as you will.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Just because Walt doesn't pick up a check, he throws
money on the table.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I think this is for me, Like he's like a
big spend here. I think this is me. I mean,
here's a twenty okay that your meal was okay, Well
he's at least paying part of it. Then is it
more than one hundred bucks over there. Here's the times.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Here's part whenever he shows up that your meal's thirty
seven dollars. My kids don't get to see their grandparents
that often. You want to do that, I'll play the
violin while on the twenty should be enough that this
is not even the Then you got tax you know what,
never mind, do worry about them.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
So three big late breaking NFL stories in the last
few hours.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
We're gonna hit them all right now. Number one involving
everybody's favorite darling running back ric O'dowdell Rico now Cuba
Hubbard coming back to play for the Panthers this week,
but Rego Daddle is on a heater the last two weeks.
Unlike what we've seen in the NFL in any of
the past twenty years. He came just sure to be
in the first player to run back to back two

(22:19):
hundred yard games, and uh Dave Canalis said, being very
cagy about the running back situation. We don't want to
get into a situation where a guy loses his job
because of injury. But certain things have to be taken
into account, and I don't know what the actual division
is going to be on Sunday, Dude, what the blank
are you talking about? Man Rico Dowdell is your guy

(22:40):
until he can't. Don't be stupid, don't overthink it. The guys.
The guy's run for four hundred yards in the last
two weeks. What do you mean we're gonna give the
ball to somebody else? What the hell are you talking about.
I think it's easy enough to see that. I think
Chuba Hubbard would even say, well, yeah, you kind of
got to ride the hotthand because this again, this guy's
at a two week stretch, unlike we've seen in football

(23:00):
in the last twenty years.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
I just think you're in a beautiful spot.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
This offense is starting to click for Izick and for Canalis,
and that you go back last year, Cheuba Hubbard one
of the great fins, nearly twelve hundred rushing yards, double
digit touchdowns. The offensive set is working well, the offensive
line playing well together, and that's only gonna benefit mister young.
So all of that to say, you've got an opportunity
here with a two man. I know it's bad for

(23:26):
fantasy owners. I know it's a sad day, but if
you could use both of those guys and carry the
ball thirty five to forty times, shortened games, win games
four point five, four point eight to carry.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Let's go Rigo d give him the ball five hundred times.
They keep calling him Rico Sadeco. Story number two.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
George Pickens, very non committal about his future in Dallas,
loves it there, said today I love it here. But
you know, hey, I just want to put my talents
on display.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
Anybody remind him that he keeps ten percent by not
leaving the state attacks.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
I think I might understand that they made me to Florida,
the Texans, maybe three teams in Florida.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
The Houston certainly can use a number two next to Nico.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
But you would think George Pickens would say, hey, I
want to be here my whole career. That because he's
had a run the last five weeks that has been outstanding.
I mean he has been no CD LAMB doesn't matter.
This Cowboys offense has been incredibly good. And he says, yeah, no, no,
it's not a big thing at this point to say
I'd love it, I want to be here. Let's figure
it out that you can say I really want to

(24:28):
be here, and then we wait till the end of
the season when I'm a free agent and then I
go to the highest bidder.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
But for him to now say, yeah, no, I love
it here. But you know, hey, I just want to
put my talents on display. I gotta be honest with you,
and I know, as good as George Pickens has been,
I would be really nervous about giving him a big contract.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Really.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Oh we said that one point to the point where
if he wants all kinds of cash, I'm Jerry Jones,
and look, this year doesn't work out because you made
the horrible Michaeh.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Parsons trade.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Look, you have a couple of big draft picks now
you're gonna get because of Michael Parsons, you can potentially
replace George Pickens.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
As good as he is, he's a guy. I can't
give him money. I can't give him a ton of
money for a long time because you saw what happened
in Pittsburgh before he even got paid. And he's like, yeah,
I don't know how many times you have to see
George Pickens is not trying, George Pickens is not blocking,
George Dickens is uninvolved in the offense. Like he's a guy.
I am completely nervous, and I don't care what stats

(25:24):
he puts up this year. If I'm Jerry Jones, George, Yeah,
I'm sorry, George. I already paying one wide receiver and
we're paying CD. So hey, that's great, it's awesome. We
got you. It didn't work out overall, but you had
a great good luck. I would say good luck and
good luck to that team that decides I want to
get in the George Pickens business long term.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
The only thing I would look at is potentially you
can go down the road of the franchise if you
really wanted to go that route, because you do have
the extra draft picks, maybe to bolster the defense and
push that forward whatever it becomes going forward, we're gonna
play more man and all of those things. He's saying.
Eber Flu's coach his zone. That's what he does. So
I don't know how you're suddenly gonna make this change.
But five straight weeks with at least a touchdown, two

(26:03):
one hundred and thirty plus yard games in the last
three weeks, he's fun as hell to watch. But this
is one of those scenarios. Like we've talked about the Chargers,
we talk about the Ravens, and we talk about the
forty nine ers of teams where we need exorcisms when
it comes to the injury bug that's in there. With
the Steelers, that wide receiving section has had its share
of issues, one guy after another that they finally just

(26:25):
had to say, you know what, it's been a good run.
Let's get let's get out of here, because you're getting
a little bit bigger than perhaps you should be for
your status on the squad. So, yeah, the cautionary tails
are certainly they're so nervous. Meanwhile, your guy Caleb Williams, Yeah,
involved in a big back and forth now with Troy
Aikman coming off the Monday night game that Caleb Williams

(26:46):
in the last few hours has opened up on during
the game, Troy Aikman very critical of Caleb Williams, which
I mean, come on, dude, Troy Aikman, you just sound
like the old guy.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Now.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
I don't like the way they scored that. You don't
like the way they scored the touchdown that won. They
don't the fact it was a mistackle, like he threw
a pass and they got. This is two straight weeks
he has driven the Bears down for the game winning
score at the end of the game. What does it
matter how the play unfold, What does it matter?

Speaker 3 (27:11):
What?

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Oh, Caleb Williams has to do a better job throwing
the ball certain parts a receivers. He's not a fan
of the play. DeAndre Swift that a tackler fell down.
It's like, dude, Like Troy, you just sound like you're mad.
And now we may be getting the reason why right
because apparently the big production meeting, which you know people
want to keep Tom Brady away from the Raiders. Because
this production meeting, Troy Aikman did not meet with Caleb

(27:34):
Williams in the normal production meeting that you'd have before
Money Night football. Caleb Williams couldn't get there, and so
he didn't get there for the meeting. He said he
reached out to Aikman, and Aikman never responded, which kind
of might put Troy Aikman's salty comments about Caleb Williams
on display on Monday Night's something you referenced to day ago,
And I gotta be honest with you, Troy Aikman. He

(27:56):
looks bad. He looks bad again. He looks like the
old guy. I'm you didn't come sit down. Now, it's like,
is that a be it? I'm just bitter. I'm bitter
you didn't come sit down. I'm bitter you're not throwing
better passes. Like, dude, Like, I don't know what it is,
but Aikman's become really really salty and and just much
more negative over the course of the past couple of years,
and he's been throughout his career, and especially this thing

(28:16):
right here when he says, when he said Monday, yeah,
well this play, it only happens because the tackler fell down.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Oh I'm sorry. You didn't have any big plays in
your career because tacklers fell down or guys ran into
each other. You got to pick play you didn't like.
I can't believe he's criticizing the play that went for
a touch that went for a long game rather that
set up the game winning. So I don't understand that.
Like he just sounds really bad about this. I just
really love it.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Yesterday there was a lot of Ben Johnson responding to this,
a lot of Chicago media asking questions about the tone
of the coverage, and you know, be as Ben Johnson
does kind of hit it straight on, and I surmise
that there was something going on with the meetings that
either it didn't go well or it didn't exist. And

(29:00):
sure enough, Caleb Williams is like, I'm not wearing this.
I was sad and salty about what we're doing. Like
DeAndre Swift play is you just go back and listen
to the play by play and you cringe.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Right.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
His analysis of it of well, luck like guys fall down,
Guys slip tackles all the time. Don't you normally give
a guy credit for slipping a tackle instead of just
saying it's a lucky play? Okay, Jayden Daniels dropped the ball,
it was raining, he mishandled a snap and a handoff.
That's football, that happens. Go back in Troy, and I've

(29:32):
defended Troy's career forever, right because people, who's that guy
a Hall of favor I don't know, super Bowls winning
and efficiency whatever. The numbers are not the same because
he wasn't asked to do the same thing. But when
you're criticism of an offense and it wasn't pretty, we've
talked about it, like the Bears, there's still miles to
go before this thing is really clicking on all cylinders.

(29:56):
But you've won three games in a row, all right.
They don't all have to be pretty. Not everything's gonna
be a perfect you know, thirty five yard bomb down
the left sideline to your guy just inside the boundary.
You know that he gets his separation. There's a lot
of luck that goes into this game one way or another.
I mean, we talk about injuries all the time. Hey,
that guy was having a great game and then he
missed the fourth quarter.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
What happened?

Speaker 4 (30:17):
The team came back and got beat right, Things happen.
But for Troy Aikman, Yeah, the negativity is certainly there.
And I think we can all stipulate we've watched six
weeks of NFL football. Would you say it's been a
really clean and great season to this point outside of
a handful of teams.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
No, it's been ugly football all over.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
And you're a Jets fan, so obviously you're gonna green
colored glasses on it this time. But but your job,
you're still selling the product. You can be honest with
people without being dour and negative. And if you're mad
that Caleb stayed at the facility instead of going to
wherever to meet you, and then he called you a
little bit later and you didn't pick up.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
That's on you. I mean, I'm sorry your bedtime was
early or whatever.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
You just sound bitter and old and like oh and
I like, dude, you just like I went out of
my way to criticize Caleb Williams. I went out of
my way to criticize that and take shots at the squad.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Again.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
It's not pretty, but you know what, winning football doesn't
have to be. All you need is at the end
of sixty minutes, are they coming over to shake your
hand and putting their heads down as they do.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
So that's what the Bears got to do on Monday
night time now to find out what's trending in the
y world of sports. And someone who's been called the
Troy apeman Oh of Fox Sports Radio. But she's all
a famer because I've seen her being salty on a
Monday night, usually when the Clippers are playing. It's Manzivala.

Speaker 9 (31:34):
I have a salty a lot of Monday nights. Let's
be real.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
First of all, happy birthday, Harmon you very much.

Speaker 9 (31:39):
Thank you for hanging out with us on your birthday.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
That's what I'd be doing im.

Speaker 9 (31:44):
Living your best life elsewhere, but you're living your best
life here, So it's not.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Five What do you tell you about? Would rather be
my kid man? My kids have all the things to do.
He's going the ballpit. Do they still have those?

Speaker 9 (31:56):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Oh no, ask Jason.

Speaker 9 (31:58):
Are bad dollpits are bad ballpitzer So yeah, for everybody,
including dogs. I feel like I've seen people have it
for their dogs.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Wow, Like it's just a popular thing, that's next level. Stuffy.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
We've got a big ALCS game that I had to
come in and.

Speaker 9 (32:15):
It is a little bit but happy birthday, Thank you
to be hanging out with you.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (32:19):
The Blue Jays definitely came alive. I don't know if
the weather in Seattle is something that they like better
than the weather in Toronto. I doubt it, but their
bats came alive.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
How many hits now? Sixteen?

Speaker 9 (32:29):
Are we at sixteen hits?

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Sixteen hits for Toronto?

Speaker 9 (32:33):
Vladimer Guerero Junior has been a perfect four of four.
His last hit was a double and you could tell
they were really hoping it would have been a triple
because then he would have hit for the cycle.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, but it was a.

Speaker 9 (32:43):
Double, his second double. He's also homeward in this one.
It is twelve to three against the Mariners in Seattle,
where Seattle leads the ALCS series to zero. It's the
bottom of the eighth inning. Okay, we've maybe cut the deficit.
Cal Rawley just hit a home run, a home run
by himself. We've cut the depth.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Sit twelve four?

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Come back?

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Is it? Long?

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Road begins the first step, let's go, but cow.

Speaker 9 (33:06):
Rawley, this is his third home run up the postseason,
So twelve to four. It is still the bottom of
the eighth and he in see Attle.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
This wait, wait, this is like in the episode of
The Simpsons when they said, Homer, we're going to give
you a new identity. And he says, I want to
beat John Elway, and he goes, he goes in the
end zone and the anoucher says and thanks to elways
last second heroics, the final score of Super Bowl thirty
is done for seven San Francisco fifty cents.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Exactly.

Speaker 9 (33:30):
Hey, that's exactly it. There This just in Shan's Sharnie
of ESPN literally just tweeted a video five minutes ago
talking to about Lebron James because they have a preseason
game against the maps starting soon, that he's going to
be reevaluated on October thirty first, and that the earliest
that he is expected to maybe make his Lakers season

(33:50):
debut will beat mid November. That they're going to take
a very patient approach before he returns and makes the
year off.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, just take literally, just take the year.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
What do you think is Halloween cost who was going
to be eight seven to seven.

Speaker 9 (34:02):
Up Viking Sparking and where he has agreed to a
five year, one hundred and forty million dollar Rickey contract extension.
Sacramento also signed Russell Westbrook today to a one year deal,
and I fell to use for Thursday Night Football. The
Bengals are listing.

Speaker 8 (34:17):
Pass rusher Trey Hendrickson as questionable for their game against
the Steelers because of a hip injury, and no practice
today for a Rams wide receiver Pukinakua because of an
ankle injury. Lions safety Brian Branch's one game suspension has
been upheld by the league after his appeal, so he's
going to be out for Week seven against Tampa Bay
on the ice only four games today in the NHL,
the Red Wings defeated the Panthers, already four to one,

(34:39):
Sabers over the Senators eight to four. Right now, the
Flames and the Mammoth are tied at one apiece early
in the second period, and after the first period the
Blackhawks and the Blues are tied at two.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Back to you, thank you very much. Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon. Coming up next, something
special for Harmon's birthday.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
We haven't done this in a while file, but it's
coming up next Jason and Mike. Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Time now for the play of the day. Brought to
you by tire Rack.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
For over forty years, Tirerack's been open customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
fast and free backed by free Road, has a protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack
dot Com is the way tire.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Buying should be.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
So it may not be over forty years like ti Iraq,
but thirty seven years ago today in a season so
incredibly improbable.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
The impossible actually happened.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
And with two out, do you talk about a roll
of the dice?

Speaker 2 (35:55):
This is it.

Speaker 5 (35:57):
If he hits the ball on the ground, I would
imagine he would be running fifty percent the first base.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
So the Dodgers trying to catch lightning right now.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
Sach's waiting on deck. So the game right now is
that the play.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
High fly ball in the right field.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
She is gone.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
There was Vince Scully on the call Kurt Gibson's home
run off of Dennis Eckersley, and Dennis Eckersley to this
day will tell you the same thing. What are you
most upset about? I'm upset I walked Mike Davis the
batter before and instead of a game tying home run,
game winning home run, Dodgers in nineteen eighty eight, they
win the World Series. They upset the Mightia, the worst

(36:50):
team to ever win the World Series, wins the World
Series in a home run, one of the top three
plays in the history of Major League Baseball thirty seven
years ago. Tonight, that's so like your opinion, man, I
think I'm pretty solid with that opinion. One of the
three most famous plays in baseball history. I feel pretty
good about that.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Oh, I just meant the worst team to win the role.
They're terrible. That team was awful, man. Nicky Hatcher was
hitting cleanup for that team. That team was awful. And yes,
I'm still bitter. They beat the Mets, but that team
was terrible.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
There was an awful team, man, the Mets playing him
like sixteen games in regular doing. They go fifteen out
of sixteen regular season. All of a sudden, Oh, Oral
hersheis is great now, and that David Cone can't close
his mouth, and Davy Johnson leaves in Dwight Good instead
of going to Jesse Rosco?

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Do I gotta keep going?

Speaker 4 (37:33):
Are you just trying to get a full lineup of
people that want to come in here and kick your ass?
You already got my mom and dad, you know, because
you're mad at them that they sent me a couple
of bucks. And then now you're going back at Oral Hirscheiser.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
A little bit, a little bit, little bit.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
I already hate you. Well, it's I mean, why are
you trying to hang him up?

Speaker 2 (37:52):
And he's got an off day to day? You need
to worry about anything anymore? At home, doesn't matter. He's
sitting around listening to the yoke to.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Show up, going, Hey, so starty pitchers manner, Huh, where's
that fool?

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Where's that fool? After those last year game with smelling Yamamoto?
Where is he? Where's that God? I'm still trying to find.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
His one of one autograph card out of this year's
top chrome because he put out a big bounty on it. Okay, okay,
because he owns a trade card shop.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
Yeah, so I was kind of hoping to walk off
with a lot of merch if I were able to
pull that, I.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Would say the three most famous plays in baseball history
Merkele pulls boner no, which there's no video of that. Uh,
but that makes it Yeah, it makes it great. I
actually read a book on that. It was awesome, pretty
cool right the end of the season. One of the
great baseball cards. Oh man, it was such a great
I love reading books about like the early the early

(38:42):
nineteenth cent or early twentieth century major League baseball. You're like,
there's no way that happened. Nope, that absolutely happened.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
You know what else happened on this day? Every page,
no way that happened, Nope, absolutely that happened. You know
what else happened on this day in baseball history? What's
that Marlins beat the Cubs? Oh, because we just celebrated
the bar and it's your birthday and you got to
celebrate the Cubs little Yeah, that must have your best birthday.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
No, fantastic, Yeah, good stuff.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
No.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
I would say, listen, the three most famous plays in
baseball history. Gibson's home run, the Buckner play, and Bobby Thompson.
I'd say those are the three most famous plays in
baseball history. I think big plays, surely, but I would
say those are your three biggest plays. Yeah, that sounds
about right and crazy how we had two of them

(39:23):
within two years of each other. Right, you had the
the Buckner play in eighty six, and you had the
Gibson home running eighty eight, right, Like, that's that's really something.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
We got the Willie Mays catch because that's been Yeah,
that's been put up on a million billboards and trading cards,
and yeah, posts is one of the great plays in baseball.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Oh, one of the great plays.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Oh for sure, absolutely, Like probably the most difficult catch made.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
Growing up, I had a lot of folks around me
that were like, if he just ran into the spot.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
It turned around.

Speaker 4 (39:49):
He's got it. Instead of measuring it that way, you
say things like that. Aaron Judge catches that just loping
back and puts his glove up. Oh no, it probably
bounces off Judge's glove.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
I'm sorry too soon.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
Yeah, all right, they've been eliminated.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
There's a song about it. There is.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
The Blue Jays have a song about eliminating the Yankees.
A good thing they're winning today.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Yeah, yeah, this is where things stand right now. Thought
that Mariners comeback was No. Thirteen to four Toronto with

move on because now in.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Picturing you in marily Monroe's dress. And that's that's the thing. Now,
that's not creepy.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
If you're picturing me and Marilyn Monroe's dress dress, you
have a lot of disturbing thoughts that are running around
in that end. I'll just say that.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
He's stepping on a grate where the wind comes up
from Andraka. So you know, look, this is this is
really weird, Jake.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Obviously, we're getting close to the trade deadline in the NFL,
all kinds of talk about how there's playing there.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
When Jerry starts being more and more and more, we
we got room to make a move to get some
defense or help. Hey, you traded them away.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Hey, Jason Cole, you know you have to stop the run.
Jerry Jones told it.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Nobody knew they had to stop the run till Jerry
Jones told us that after the Micah parts Is trade.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Yeah, and then they can't. Now they can't stop the house.
That's okay.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Well you know what he got beat by Ricodowdell.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
Yeah, former Cowboys thousand revenge thousand yard rusher last year.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
I mean the fact that that game has a name
now it's the Rico Dowdell revenge game, Like, I mean,
that game's got a name to it.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Five years ago, did anybody ever envision rico' dadell having
a revenge game, a love game, just anything of any
kind of meaning period.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
I don't know that people knew who Rico Dowdell was
five years I think he's a phenomenon name.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
No one knew Rico Dall, no one, no one. Now,
everybody in Cowboys Nations like, oh, we.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Like that guy, Stephen telling me the guy was on
our team a few years ago.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Is that true?

Speaker 3 (44:54):
I don't know we had that up. We had to
go get in tomorrow time and a funny Jamonte is
actually having a really good use. Yeah, I would give
him a lot of credit, but he just got crushed
by Dowdell and Bright Young. You think he's going to
be a good team, you have the audaptinity go on
radio and say, yeah, we've got a really deep corera

(45:18):
of pass rushers where yeah we can make some moves. Yeah,
you treat your fans like they're complete idiots. You just
like it's it amazes me what he does to his fans.
I mean, he really could sell them on Cowboy bets
if I gave him that idea and I licensed it

(45:39):
to him. I can turn that into billions. I'll give
you ten million for the idea, and I'll turn it
into billions. I'll be like, yes, sir, please, let's go.
Let's do this. Let's do it right now, come on,
give me the ten mil. Yeah, he'll definitely turn the
Cowboy beats into billions of dollars, and I'd be happy
for him.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
Well, because we have a fut icy hot Bowl tomorrow,
I'll ask you, are we destined for another? Hey, the
Steelers win the division and then lose in the first
round of the playoffs kind of fate.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
They might win if they win the division, because then
they get who do they get in the wild card?
Right in Pittsburgh in cold weather? That's that becomes a question.
If you get a warm weather team, like if they
get New England, they probably lose. But if they get

(46:34):
the Chargers, do they win? Like that? That's where it
sort of becomes a little bit interesting. Or if you
know whoever comes out of this, you know the salth
going to produce a team that they'll have to go
up and play a cold weather game that they're not
used to. I mean that's where you sit there and go, Okay,

(46:56):
this is where the Steelers could win a game. But
it is kind of a fifty to fifty like you
don't really really truly believe in them.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
No, it sets me because they stink, because they absolutely stink.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Their division is but they don't do anything well.

Speaker 5 (47:09):
Jason Colby, that's not true.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
They don't do anything.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Don't the ball well, they don't run the ball well,
the middle you do. We do everything horribly. We're there's
fifty feet of crap and then there's us.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
Right, and see that's why you're not allowed to judge anymore.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Mad football. You I know, bad football, and I want you.
I want the Steelers escape with the Jets. You escaped,
You escaped over the Jets. Very bad that you should
be the Steelers sticks.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
Justin field is a quarterback in the hall. Are very
bad and I'm not going for you, Okay, just you
don't get to talk about this. No, I do think
by the by the end of the season is here's
the thing, nobody's playing all that well consistently, right, Like
if you look a silly was great for the first
four weeks and they just kind of like meander through

(48:01):
the last two weeks not taking things very seriously, in
fact two and a half weeks, because they meandered through
the second half against Tampa. So I just look at
teams and you know, like the Chargers played really well,
then they lose to the Giants, they lose back to
back games, like what are they? You know, they almost
lose to Denver. I think the charge are really good

(48:22):
one week. I think Buffalo's really good for a while,
and then you know, the last two weeks happened. You know,
Detroit I think is going to be really good. Then
they go and they play a really mediocre effort against
King of the City, like you're playing mediocre against the
team that you might face in Super Bowl if you're
lucky enough to get there. So everybody plays bad right

(48:44):
now because there's two issues. Coaches think that the season
is ridiculously long at seventeen games, like they think it's
inordinate way longer than it was sixteen for whatever reason.
I don't know. But the thing that they do also
think about a lot is it's to to give into
the playoffs because they added the extra playoff team, right,
so now I can't trying to mccruise early in the season.

(49:08):
Make sure everybody's healthy, you know, don't be the forty
nine ers. Don't don't be them where you lose too
of your best defensive players. But get through the season,
get hot in the second half, and then you're fine.
I think the Steelers are sort of like that. They're
cruising to the first half. So when you say they're
not a very good football team, I'm not disagreeing with you.

(49:31):
But who's really good right now? I mean Tampa? So
you know, you know what, Baker makes a couple of
runs and everybody gets really excited, you know, because he
you know, he flexes, and it's like Baker flexes and
everybody's like, MVT, Like okay, it's good. Right now, it's

(49:53):
not quite great, and I see flaws in that team.
So okay, Tampa, but they've lost some We got home
in a game in September that they share one. So
you know, I'm just not trusting any single team out
there until we start to get deep into October and
in November. Then let's talk about it is really good

(50:13):
because I think that so many teams are just holding.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
Back so much from my big Daniel Jones Jets are
holding back Apparently the Jets are holding back.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Apparently that's what they're holding back.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
You know that the Jets are not qualified to speaking
anything remotely close to talking about football. Well, you are
not talk about nest or eggs. You're not play or off.
You're not allowed to do that. You can't put those
words together. Okay, you can say a bunch of you know,
movement by people for yelling out signals, or you can

(50:50):
say switching the switch, turning the switch from on. That's
how you can't do anything else. You can't talk about playoffs,
just the end of you describe the individual works.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
Okay, Well, let me ask a question.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
Uh well, circling around his coach for a moment, Callahan
got fired down in Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
How soon is Aaron Glenn follow him out the door?

Speaker 3 (51:12):
Why are we doing this? Aaron Glenn already? Like? Is
it really like we're gonna blame him for working?

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Johnson, Okay, Yeah, that's the that's the thing of tell
us you haven't watched the Jets play without telling us
you've watched the Jets play.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Dude, I mean, this job is too much for him.
The job is too much for him.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
As much as I'm not disputing that, Okay, I just
don't agree with firing a guy after six games or
five games, or four games, wherever we are in the season.
I'm just like, that's not what I'm going to do
with Aaron.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Glen Yet did too much over his head. He's completely
in over his head.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
Are you saying are you saying that he's Adam Gase?

Speaker 2 (51:59):
I think Adam Adam Gazes at least won a couple
of games one. I mean, we're next.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
How about what are we putting him in the category
of Lou Holtz.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Oh, that's going way back. People don't remember Lou Holtz
coached the.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
Che Richie Richie. Also what other story?

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Wow, this is a Hall of Fame co Tite was
not just bad because he was the war he was
the worst coach. He talked the Jets out of drafting
Jerry Rice and drafting Altoon instead.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
He was the big vice. So that's where rich Cote
type gets an extra thing there.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
He was eight.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
Yeah, he was a scout.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
That's a big story in that, you know code type
when he before you know you coach a team. He
was the main scout and the Jets were torn between
Altoon and Jerry Rice and and and he said, Hey,
I think you gotta go with Altune because I don't
know that Jerry Rice would get separation at the next level.
And so they took Altoona. He was loved a Tune

(52:58):
was great our yards, not Jerry, but.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
He was a jack.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
He's just he's your Bill Milton. Let's just put it
that way, del Bill.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Melton, Oh, one of my favorites.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
All right, So let's let's let's end here with the
speaking of Troy not firing Aaron Glenn. Uh does Tua
finish the season as the Dolphins quarterback? Because boy, it
really feels like they need a divorce right now and
they got to get him out.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Well, I mean, let's line up the whole thing. I mean,
just you know, Chris, it's imagine that we're playing three
card Monty right, Okay, we got mc daniel, Greer and Tua. Okay,
which goes first?

Speaker 2 (53:47):
Hang on doing the thing and doing the thing. I'm
showing you the queen, showing the queen, showing the queen,
show me the Queen. I'm going to say, who goes first?

Speaker 3 (53:55):
Jets fans and New Yorkers and things that you'll understand
within the Dolphins three card mont.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
And we're not and Monte Kiffin is not playing three
card more money ball. Okay, well you don't know what.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
Monty kist heaven, so we don't know what Monty Kiffin's
were doing right now?

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Okay, all right, Monty Hall, Monte Kiffen Many Hall, Sure I.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Know that, Carnty Monty Ball running back.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
The two of card keeps coming up, Jacob, the two
of card keeps coming up.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
I'm saying it's a it's it's one of those three
goes first, and I don't know which one it is,
but they all because here's the thing, all three are gone.
This is three card Monty, where it's a.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Winner under every card.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
I mean, like, there's no quid any of those three. Wow,
look at you going full jokers wild, very nice classic.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
That's that's one of the greatest game shows all time.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Joking.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
That's my youth right there.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Triple yeah, yeah, yeah, joker, Joker, Greek legends.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
Yeah, they are cleaning the whole thing out because what
choice do they have. I mean, mcdy here's the thing,
TUIs says this stuff and then mcdonna comes up the
next day because well, he really shouldn't have said that.
He should have been you know, he should have been
you know, thinking about not doing It's like, well, you're

(55:24):
the head coach. Why didn't you talk to him? That's
about how he's supposed to You know, you're the one
who's supposed to be grooming him. You're supposed to be
the one who tells him. How does he deal with
the public. You're the one who's supposed to be talking
to him, and you know, when things are frustrated and
you know, I'm bad, how do you handle it? That's
your job, you, Mike, And and look, I think Mike

(55:47):
mcdalie's going to be a really good coach next time around,
unlike apparently Aaron Glenn who already after you know, like
he's been the coach for five minutes now against I've
been a great five minutes.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
Come on, man, I'm not going to throw a Hail
Mary at midfield on the final play of the first.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
I look, I know it's bad. I really okay, man,
I'm not, but I'm willing to give a guy more
than four or five games.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
So he gave us the Meme of the Year, though Okay, yes.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Yes he did. And the running down the sideline was
pretty good, was pretty good.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Move forgetting there was and a half left to go,
and Baker Mayfield had all his time outs, all the
games over.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
The game's over. I can dance. We won the games over. Yeah,
that's great.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
Okay, he's on Twitter, so I'm on Twitter. But I'm
telling you the Dolphins plaininghouse, and you know, pick whichever
one you want first and three card Monty, but then
you're down to two cards and you can move those
round and then you can play one card Monty and
he still yeah, keep moving the card around. People like,

(56:56):
what do you do. It's one card. There's only one
card out there. Just this one is going to be
the one who goes next. I promise. Yeah, we get that.
That's how this is gonna work. By Edre mcdangel to us,
it's all over and in the words.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
Of Nick mackay, there are no winners here. It's true.
Jason Cole sixty two on Twitter. It is the aforementioned
j Cole Always great stuff.
