This is the best of The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Hello, welcome in side Happy Monday, The Jason Smith Show
with my bass friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Bee.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
For over forty years, Tirerack's been open.

hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
Tire ac dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Well,
here we are Monday night football. At the end of
the first half. If you like scoring, you like the game,
even though it doesn't seem like it.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
There's a lot of field goals.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Then there was a lot of touchdowns and to no
one's surprised, the Dallas Cowboys are in charge of this
game right now over the Raiders. Raiders get a field
goal at the end of the half, but twenty four
to nine is the score. Three touchdowns for Dak Prescott,
including one to George Pickens. You're heard Monci Bologna's plate
and the update where the Raiders just stopped running out
let him cut back and said, oh I'm tired.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, that's fine. You guys go in. You recognize you're
two and seven coming into this game. You're terrible. The
holidays are coming. You got other things on your mind. Yeah, Hollada,
you want to see that Avatar halftime You were more
worried about making sure you had a good seat for that.
That's what Pete Carroll said on the on field interview too.
I want to get into the locker room right now
(01:45):
and see that Avatar thing. So thanks Lisa, we're gonna
go in. Yeah, we got five minutes because we need
to be back out here so we could see the thing,
the drone they've got flying around the field, because that'll
be really cool as a cross promotional thing. But forty
nine and a half was the total for this one.
We're already at thirty three, so you're feeling pretty good
if you had the over.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Now we do have a fair bit of drama if
from the first half of this game. But oh no,
that's not drama. That's that's like, that's low hanging fruit.
The first thing is this, right, you know, we'll get
to the Cowboys part of it in a second. But
for the Raiders twenty four to nine and Gino Smith
sixteen out of twenty eight. Yeah, for one hundred and
sixty seven yards the long first half and a pick,
(02:25):
it was yes, the second half is just getting set
to kick off now, sixteen out of twenty eight. He
is having a horrendous game. And not to mention the number,
the countless number of times he has thrown the ball
up for grabs. Dallas can't come up with an interception,
you know, because they're the thirty first ranked defense for
a reason. But I just can't help but feel right today,
we know we saw the end of Justin Fields as
(02:47):
the starting quarterback of the NFL. When Aaron Glenn said, Okay,
we're going to finish this experiment now because he's terrible,
and to Rod Taylor is going to be the starter.
I can't help but feel we're watching that happen now
for Gino Smith. Gino had a great run getting at
the back half of his career. He got into the
right system with Pete Carroll in Seattle, was a borderline
(03:08):
top fifteen ish league average quarterback. Made some plays, but
you can see he is clearly at the end now.
He has not been able to put points on the board.
He's had a couple of big games, but outside of that,
the Raiders' offense is terrible. He has not looked good.
He leads the league in interceptions, All his throws are dangerous.
He gets sacked meant much more now than he used
(03:29):
to in the past. And I just can't help but
feel that we're watching the end. And at some point
the next week, maybe it's after this game, you're gonna
see the Raiders will say, Okay, Geno, thanks, Kenny Pickett
will come in and play, Ken Stabler will come in
and play, Jim Plunkett will come in and play, and
obviously they'll be in for a new quarterback next year.
But the era of Gino as a starting quarterback in
(03:51):
the NFL, like that's coming to it. We watched the
end for Justin Fields now today, and the end for
Gino is coming real soon.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, we get to that same point of wondering, you
know how how crippling the dead cat money is for
future runs, But you sign the deal. You've lived with
it as long as you can. The offensive line is terrible,
as we've watched all year long. They've had some injuries
that took even their best players off the board. But
Gino taking what three sacks already. We've seen him throw
(04:18):
the ball in harm's way. We've seen other plays where
he's clearly not on the same page with the receivers
all at all, where it's five yards out of bounds,
you know, fifteen yards from where the receivers are route broke,
and he's just kind of looking at him and shrugging. Now,
one thing that did come off the broadcast, they're not
exactly giving him a whole lot of support here is
(04:38):
they're run in play action. But Ashton genty has two
carries at the head. You're not full of me. You're
not full of me. You're not gonna tell me you're
gonna hand the ball to a running back when you
only have two carries. You even had on the radio broadcast,
Kurt Warner turned to Kevin Harley goes this is right, right,
he's only got two carries. What are they doing? You
know that kind of thing. So where Kurt's raising his
(05:00):
hand going wait, wait, wait, what do we got going
on here? You got a guy that was one of
the most heralded running backs coming out of college in
a long time. He's got two carries. I know you
don't like your offensive line, but hey, we're gonna run
play at you. It's gonna fool them and open things
up downfield. Sure you know. And and the thing watching
about gino right, it's it's it's not that every pass
(05:22):
is bad, but just think about this for a second.
He just threw on a third down play. He just
threw the brock Bowers in the flat and Bland is
standing right there, gets his hand up to knock it down.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Could have easily been an interception. He puts the ball
in dangerous harms way. And I don't mean where Hey,
here's a pass that's gonna get knocked down or incomplete.
He puts the ball in harm's way where ooh, that
could have been picked probably once every three throws, right
that that that's that's kind of what watching him tonight
(05:53):
like once there, like he'll make a good throw, Okay,
then I'll make a bad throw and a throwby and
then don't put one where. Wow, that should have been
picked off again, Cowboys that there Again. Their defense is
ranked thirty first for a reason.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Uh. But you can't live that way, and that's kind
of im He's got to understand that. Okay, if my
guys aren't getting separation, I can't just throw it there
and hope that they're gonna get it right. There's gotta
be you gotta some find some sort of scheme to
figure something out. But for the most part, for Geno,
that's why he's near the end. He's putting again, He's
putting the ball in harm's way every third pass, and
(06:27):
that you know, that's what I mean. You're gonna see
the end of Gene because you can't keep throwing a
guy out there that keeps turning the ball over like
Gino does. Right now.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Obviously the defense is not playing well tonight, and the
Cowboys can do whatever they want to, but you can't
have that going forward.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
And you see the frustration level. Uh. Like I said,
it's very very coincidental that that. But a lot of
allegories and a lot of comparison to make with Hey,
the Jets, like, we saw enough of Justin Field's not turnovers,
but we saw enough of you throwing the ball poorly.
We're not gonna have a team the last seven eight
weeks of the season if we continue to put you
out there. The same thing for the Raiders. We're not
gonna have a t if we continue to put you
(07:01):
out there, you continue to turn the football over. So
maybe it's after this game, next game, but you are
seeing the end of the run. And it's been a
great second act. It's just ending really badly. But this
is the end for Gino. Yeah. With most Hollywood films,
I mean the third act falls apart. I mean we
watched that all the time, like that, Wow, you really
had me for that first hour and fifteen minutes and
(07:21):
then I was done. But with Gino Smith coming into
this game, you had more interceptions than touchdowns, just eleven
to twelve. But you know that that is in today's
NFL rarefied Air still completing nearly two thirds of his
past attempts. Fine, but the number of potential chaos throws
have been high. And against this Cowboys defense, now they
(07:43):
have reinforcements you're inspired to a degree getting on the field.
The memory of Kneeland fresh in their minds and in
a lot of talk before this game. So you know,
thoughts with them because they're clearly trying to get back
to the business of football after a bye week and
everything that went on there. But you know, you got
some reinforcements, so I thought you get a better effort
(08:06):
from the defense, But to this level, I mean, I
also still want to ask Pe Carroll's like, are you
just gonna put genty and bubble rap? At this point,
you knew your team wasn't gonna be in He's setting
things up for the next head coach. They probably say, listen,
we're gonna replace you at some point. Just make sure
he doesn't get hurt. Kie John Robinson, Arthur Smith had
him in that box, like, you know, he's really explosive.
(08:28):
He can do some things to maybe make life easier,
you know, for your rapidly descending quarterback. Not the hell
with that. For the next coach. We'll do it. Don't
worry about it. He's still gonna be great. He'll just
be great for somebody else. That's all it's gonna be.
And boy, and for two guys that I just want
to highlight here coming out of the weekend. Great game.
We'll get into the Browns in earnest for the offensive
(08:50):
side of things, but for Miles Garrett is what I
wanted to say, because he and Max Crosby really great
to watch, and Max Crosby made a big play early
in this game. Do you think they regret it all?
I mean, I know the guaranteed money is all finding good.
But every Sunday or Monday night, when you know you're
gonna go and just get your ass kicked, does it
(09:10):
get tired? I don't know. Maybe go to the bank
the next day and you feel better, do you? Yeah,
a Sunday and then I feel good the rest of
the week. When you're soaking in the tub, you feel
a little bit better, I guess.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Meanwhile, the drama for the Dallas Cowboys, this is gonna
be one of the more sought after postgame press conferences
from Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer. Ced Lamb and George
Pickens not on the field for the first drive in
the first few plays the Cowboys had tonight. Was it
an equipment malfunction? Was it something that happened was it
(09:46):
an injury situation nobody knew, And then midway through the
first half, sideline reporter Lisa Salters said, we spoke to
the Cowboys, got a statement from them. It was a
coaches decision that Pickens and Cede Lamb were not on
the field for the first drive. The coach is done,
coincidentally the best drive for the Raiders because they've just
been doing anything they wanted to since they've been on
(10:07):
the field. So a coaching decision for the two best
receivers on the Cowboys to not be out their beginning
of the game. So we're gonna get that post game.
But man, as you can see, the Cowboys are one
of those teams and you know, we talked about it
with the Eagles last week where you see the numbers,
see what they're doing here in the first f Yes,
it is the Raiders. But Pickens and Cede Lamb didn't start.
(10:28):
Didn't matter. Pickens just caught another passer about fifteen yards
and he made three guys miss. The Cowboys are one
of those teams where you could see this story and
I don't know what it's gonna be, but I'll front
guess this and I'll say I don't think this is
gonna be anything the Cowboys are gonna look at and say, oh,
this is gonna tear our team apart. The Eagles are
great at dealing with adversity and living in dysfunction, right,
(10:50):
we saw it this week. They lived in dysfunction all
last week, and they shut down the Lions on Sunday
night saying, yeah, we're still the big bad guys in
the NFC. The Cowboy There is another team that, Yeah,
controversy does it. They swim in controversy every day. Now,
generally it's not always on the field. It's off the field.
It's Jerry Jones, it's drama. But I don't think there's
(11:11):
anything that happened in this game with Pickens and Ceedee
Lamb that they're gonna be able to move past, because look,
they already have moved past it. Okay, I mean the
you know, the two of them tonight combined for one
hundred and eighty two yards receiving. Okay, I mean they
got two touchdowns, eleven catches. There is nothing they're not
doing Cowboys. That's the one thing. Oh, there's controversy, there's drama. No,
(11:32):
the Cowboys breathe it so I have no problem believing
that whatever it is with the two of them, it's
gonna be okay, because it already seems like it's okay.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
They were late. If it was a real issue, they
wouldn't have played right. I mean, you're down for a
couple of plays. Did you learn your lesson? Eh? But
rules are rules, right? Yeah? You have to hold folks accountable.
It's the old joke with the Cowboys, Jimmy Johnson. What
would you do if Troy Aikman fell asleep? I'd wake
them up. What would you do if it was, you know,
the last man on the roster, him out and make
(12:00):
an example of him. You know, it's it's that kind
of thing. Hey, Troy, do we need to go through
that again because you were napping? But for Lamb and
for Pickins, we see what this offense can do. I
mean they bring destruction. Javonta Williams has had a fantastic year,
But Troy Aikman in the broadcast is like, well, they've
got a three wide receiver set. And it was an
(12:20):
ISO shot of Lamb and Dickens on the sideline to
where he's like, wait, what the hell? This is interesting?
Bold strategy cotton kind of thing coming out of dodgeball,
and then Lisa Salters came back with the coach will
address it later. So I don't know that I've ever
wanted to hear from Schottenheimer more on his first day.
(12:41):
Do you think Jerry Jones lets him talk about it?
Do you think Jerry just takes over when they said
when Lisa Salters said the coaching decision, that meant my decision,
so to ask me, I'm the guy to talk to now.
So they went to one of the last remaining buffets,
so they miss curfew. You know I'm the coach, right,
I mean it's one everybody knows. I'm the head coaching
and Brian's a guy that I like, and uh, he's
(13:02):
there wearing the headset. But you know, coaching decision that
that's me. Now, if we could sync that up to
where we have, you know, Jerry Jones lips moving calling
off the play sheet, that would be something spectacular. We're
gonna run red rot Rocket four to six, toss power Trap,
go ahead, I'll run it, and oh take CD and
George Jason for that first see way too early for
Red Rocket. What we got? We got no red rock
(13:24):
geta can't run Okay, I got Steven Steven No, I
mean it's ten o'clock eastg Steven's got to tell me,
can't run that play. Can't run that play. I don't
know what that was. Got to run that run that play,
maybe Orange Rocket, but not Red. We got to run
the nnexation. You want to go full red annexation of
Puerto Rico. Let's run that one too. I saw that
work in the Giants game earlier, but they all seem
really small and wearing different jerseys, but they ran that
(13:46):
play for a big touchdowns. We're gonna run that one too.
They kept calling the little Giants. Don't know why the
regular Giants, but okay, little giants kind of ju the
position little like like jumbo shrimp. You know, you got
little giants like well, I mean we saw little giants
getting in a fight with the judgment Day and dominic
mysterio a little bit at raw and I too, so
everybody in the news. There was a great completion just
(14:06):
now to George Pickens, and it was one of those
teetering things as he was being tackled. I really thought
he was gonna flip the fall in the ball to
Ferguson and let him run it in instead. He's down
inside the five.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So here we are with the definitive fan duel French
fry rankings. And I would love to disagree with number one.
I'd love to I'd love to be that guy. But
ahead of all others, there is no equal McDonald's French fries,
and I'd love to argue with that, but they've been
the best. You talk about a dynasty growing up when
(14:47):
I was a kid, McDonald's and Burger King French fries.
I'm like, you gotta be kidding me, man, it should
be the same. He's by kn't eat the's Burger King
French fries McDonald's, Oh, of course. And they have had
a dynasty on French fries now for going on almost
fifty years. Here's the problem unapproached in fifty years. Yeah,
but here's the problem. The quality control sometimes, like all things, fails,
(15:07):
so you get a mealy, soggy, terrible, undercooked fry, which
which is the worst. Yeah, because they've got to go
back around and you either have to go into said
venue or you got to go back in the drive
through and say you gave me some really really suspect
fries here. Well, I'm always ascusion like six bucks. Yeah, yeah,
And you can always get him. You can always say
(15:29):
well done, and they'll always make him well done. Like
if you do that like that, I think you need
to do on a lot more French fries on this list.
The guys say well done, well done, well done. You
can try, but you may not be successful. Look, I
will say this because I want to see what everybody
else you know. McDonald's at the top.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
The one thing I will tell you in fast food,
if someone else is going to the restaurant for you
and bringing it back for you, do not get fries.
They don't travel well. Fries are not traveling.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
If you want to get me, the guy that's bringing
him back is gonna eat them. No, no, no, I
mean like by the time you get back, they're cold
and you really want to put them and heat them
up somehow. They don't travel. You want to get fries
if you are getting them on your plate and eating
them at that moment. No, I'm just kidding. What do
you have one of those Homer Simpson design with a
toaster evidence? Damn right, that's my one bit of French
(16:17):
fry advice. They don't travel well. Order something else and
you get them to come back. It's easier, it'll be hot,
and it's one thing. Yeah, mine is more. I don't
trust the cleanliness of the hands of whoever would be
delivering him for me. Okay, Well, they're reaching in and
grabbing some of those fries and contaminating the rest. Finish
them up, Go ahead, finish them up, all right? So
where you go now? MONSI, where are you on the
(16:38):
French fries?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Hot garbage of a list?
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Hot garbage garbage always the first one.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
The wings stop down at I can't wait that?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh no, wait? Are you? Are you kidding me? Are
you kidding me? Wing Stop? You don't go to wing
You don't go to place called wings. I do, but
I okay, you ask me my personal opinion. You go
for wings garbage. You listen, you go to red Lobster
to get lobster.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Not to get It's not my fault that Wingstop has
delicious fries.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
You're you're getting mad at me.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I like the has wings.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Do you go?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Do you travel to it to an alternate earth to
get fries at Wingstop? Wingstop fries are the worst. They're
the worst.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
You're legit on cracks and that's fine, and that's fine.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Hey, hey, that's just like your opinion. There's not enough
ranch dressing.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I could drown those fries in.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Wingstop is the best seasoning McDonald's fries.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Okay, sure, sure.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
I mean when they have a stand at Disneyland for McDonald's.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Fries, they took it away. What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I mean, that's gonna just tell you what it's at.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
And by the way, if you order well done, shame
on you. You're making everyone else wait and they have
to make an extra batch of fries because you want
the well done fries.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
I like the clims fries of McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yoh, then you just love Wingstop because Wingstop, you hold
it just falls right off there. Can you just cut
a potato and put it in a bag for me?
Come on, your French frying Wingstop looks like a candy
cane when you hold it up.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Is that it's how is in and out?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
It? See it?
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Should be at the very bottom.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Because in and out they're mealy. In and out, French
fries are terrible, terrible.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
They should be at the bottom.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
They tastes like the cardboard they are meal, just like
the paper bag for five guys.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
It tastes like what it's served in the.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Oh yeah, Look, there's a for a lot of places
that serve French fries, like you would think they would
be better on them, right, But I want to say,
how can you not approach McDonald's in fifty years? Like
I think that should be a movie like the Beginning
The King tried to and then they put that coding
on things that you can leave them off on the
side for forty five years and they're not changing. I
give Burger King credit. At least they're trying. Like they
come up with all kinds of different stuff. They're gonna
(18:34):
they're gonna have meals celebrating SpongeBob SquarePants. Man, how do
you how do you top We have forty seven flavors
of vanilla ice cream. We're gonna test them and the
best one is gonna get out there. Like I give them,
you know, props for trying, but how has no one
been able to do it, like I want the movie
to start where it's a guy in a room and
they're doing a they're doing the uh like the beginning
of Blindside when they're going through all the different ways here,
(18:54):
we need the West Coast offense to stop. Uh uh,
Lawrence Taylor, like the guys clicking through the fries going
you have to challenge McDonald's fries. I want to see
that movie now. I mean talking about just the origin story.
I mean go back and watch The Founder where you
got Nick Offerman. It's got to be crisp now, silent, higher,
higher temperature, low, lower cook time, silent. Through This entire
(19:16):
conversation so far has been Alex Tycher, likely because we're
talking about fries and not something that can extend your
life if you eat it. So Ty, it is a potato.
Where are you on this?
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Where do you want me to start?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
What do you agree with? The top? McDonald's at the top.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Really yeah, because you're saying they're untouched, right, you can't.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I mean you can't. I'm not saying like people don't
handle the given to you. I mean untouched, like the
ranking you're not close to.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
If we're going to go back to the nineties. Sure,
but twenty five you're gonna say McDonald still has good fries.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah, you're crazy, dude, the same fries.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
No, they're not. Well they are. That makes sense because
they don't decompose. I get that.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Okay, So wait, so wait, if you travel through time
and you and you you know something that we don't.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
I'm just saying that if you think McDonald's fries are
the best, you might want to just try other fries.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Give me something that's better, Give me one that's about easily.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Moncey brought one. Stop fries. Slap McDonald's fries.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Are you guys crazy?
Speaker 6 (20:07):
I'm crazy?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I mean I get on board the Arby's Curly fries
with the seasons.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
They're the best freezer sections.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
They're just thin and skinny, and they have sometimes too
much oil. Sometimes I salt, but they have too many ingredients.
You can taste it. It's not good.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
But if I go to Jack in the Box, I
don't want anything else on the menu. So that to
stop just for curly, I.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Fink you're all crazy.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Anything else on the menu.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Well, MANSI, how do you guys hate in and out fries?
They're literally the potatoes salt and pep. Every other fries
you guys have brought up are mealy and don't taste good.
Taco Have you got del taco fries?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
They'll taco fries are okay.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Secrets okay, But the better kept secret is the burger
it dell talk yes, wow talk if you want talking
about that.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
That is a much that's a double secret. Oh yeah, yeah,
you get that double dell.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
They got They throw in a burrito and taco for free.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
You know the level of respect that I have for
for for the three of you with this conversation, Lee,
I still have it for Monsy and Alex with this
crazy ass wingstop. What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I mean, all of a sudden, I see you differently.
I see I see you guys differently because I can't
do I have to do a taste. You like fries
that are absolutely awful?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
How are they awful? They're cut well, now you can
tell they're good potatoes because they go bad quickly. And
the dressing, the.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Inside, the inside of a French fry, the inside of
a French fries?
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Do you like ketchup mic on fries? Do you just
like fries?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
There's not enough ranch in the world. I can cover that.
Not enough ranch in the world, not not ketchup.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Or now if you make if you make animal cell
fries for in and out, then it goes up ranks me.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
But you can't do that with these fries. You can't
do chili cheese. You can't.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
No, no, it's just a regular fry because you you
ramp stuff up. Look, Shakeshack on the list in the
second tier one hundred percent. Shakeshack fries are that's okay.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Chick fil A Chris cut fries are good.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
The Chick fil A.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Fries you don't.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I'm I'm still good. Fire people, right, you can flick
them in because that's the best part of dipping with
the waffle fry is that if you get good, thick
enough ranch, it stays in the pores and you get
much more ranch per bite. Like that's a really good thing.
You gotta eat it somewhat quickly because but then when
you get the ones that sometimes will be the cross
(22:29):
cut and then there's just the thin little membrane and
potato all the bottoms, like all that holds it.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
In nice, which I think is the reason why it
dropped a d because it was better back in the
day when it had the little bit of skin on.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Sometimes you get the skin on that. But I mean,
but the fries that you guys are talking about, it's
like I can't eat fries that look like the inside
of an uncooked shrimp. Like that's no good. It's so
good for anybody where everyone when you've just mentioned, are awful,
the best in the game.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Actually, I think they're getting out.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
See I think they worked for about three and a half.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Minutes that you look as you looking down your nose
on people, because it's.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Not salted, it doesn't have the oils.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
It's it's not I worked in and out there you're
set oils creepy way yeah, because you probably took out
all the stuff that made it taste good and so no,
I'm but to put in this stuff that's gonna make
it help crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Probably did you probably changed them?
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Will you not eat a burger without their fries? That
says something I can't tell you the last time I
ordered fries. They're dining and stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I don't even get an extra crispy with the with
the animal stuff more. An extra crispy doesn't work there.
It's like you got to get like nuclear crispy, like
I would you to, you know, fly this close to
some test that's happening and then bring it back and
then maybe it's good enough. That's when we do live
in the state of California. That's not hard to fly.
I can't do it.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Speaking of California, a lot of this is regil. Can
you guys put me on game on any of these
that I've not seen. I've never been to McDonald's regional.
Apparently there's a one down not.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
What is crystal? I don't know crystal.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Hey, hey, hey, that's that's completely different. That's a different
prospect I've hadn't I've had water Burger, but I think
that's overrated.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
The crystal ones are the blue color. Jesse Pintman makes
them blue for everybody. Yeah, yeah, the blue crystal.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Yeah that's right. Secret ingredients chili powder, Uh yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Uh was it? Jackbi Zaxby's no, but you can start going.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Canes isn't bad, but I mean really it's see those
are also really mealy, never cooked way overall. That's why
I agree with the top with with McDonald's at the top,
because there's no other eat there's nothing even close. There's
nothing even close.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Like even you get to the RB's and the curly fries,
I'll get like there's one there's one part of it
where it all just coagulates together. It looks like one
super fry, like a vultron. Like, wow, now I just
got to eat all off the sides of this.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah, but if you do the right thing, you can
animate that in the cool Ai video and go viral.
Uh yeah, okay, but he looks like Megatron. Yeah, but
then I gotta eat fries that. I'm not a big fan.
I'd rather have fries, Jason.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
I can prove to you that you are overthinking how
good McDonald's fries are. If I've bought five different fries
that look like McDonald's and put them without like a
description of what's what, you wouldn't tell me which one
of McDonald's you, Oh sure I would.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
It's like it's like the it's like the coke versus
Pepsi test from the nineteen eight.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Well that's different.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yeah okay, yeah, Well this is RC colub. This is
all pepsy. Look at Day's better the Pepsi challenge from
the nineteen.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
I promised you would get it wrong.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I think I get it right.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
I promise you.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I think I get it right. I get McDonald's right. Stop, Hey,
what what's what is in the in the in the
red holder with the yellow M that's McDonald's. Got it.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
I'm telling you. If I put Jack in the box,
Carl McDonald's Burger King and whatever else.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
You said that properly, Yes, you said donald. You said
it like like like John Amos in uh in coming
to America, everybody on the south side.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Of I promise you those five you're not guessing it.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Stop stop. If you gave me other fries of maybe
something I haven't eaten, like that's regional someplace like Lee
was talking about, maybe you might get me there, but
not stuff that I've had that I know is bad.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
I don't not anything they sneak in a few diner
fries in here.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Most of this is.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Diner fries are awful. All they're all made, They're not
cooked enough, and again you just have to drown them
in ranch to be able to eat.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
The French fries. Keep the French fries and just give
me like a big glass of ranch. I'm gonna drink it.
That's what I'm gonna have. Rather have that drown it.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
It's true they do give you, well, at least they
give you a lot of it. Yeah, they do give
you a big.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
But I don't even know how to respond. What is?
What is? What is? Sam Jackson teltre vault in pulp
fiction when they're talking about dipping the French fries and man,
as I seen him, Man, they drown that blanket. Yeah,
that's how you have to have it. Well, there you go.
You should catch up on Tulsa King because Sam Jackson
shows up.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Jason, I will leave you with one thing, Okay, next
time you ever get fries from somewhere you don't like
trying with curry ketchup?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Now see that if you mutate the ketch. But I
can be on board. Is it? Is it?
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Steph curry ketchup? No, you just have to make it yourself.
You have to carry curry. But I'm just saying you
do sells curry catches and I got my own curry
just so you know. I got I've got a couple
of stores.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I'll get you please. Yeah, No, I got a good
place down by me.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Joining us now in the hot line to break it
all down nobody better NFL on Fox Insider Extraordinary Jay Glazer, Jay,
Happy Thursday. Man, how you doing. I'll tell buddy, we're
doing better than Josh Allen. Every time he took the step,
it felt like he took two steps and it was
running for his life. Jay.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
So let me tell you how feared the Texan trut is.
It's now feared. They are a couple of weeks ago,
Broncos are going to face the Texans, and Sean Payton's like, man,
we gotta do something. They literally signed Mercedes Lewis, who
is probably the best blocking Titan of all time, specifically
(27:57):
to come out of retirement for that game. Just like,
if this guy can help us on ten plays, we're
gonna take it because Percedes is a gangster and we
need somebody who's not afraid of Daniel Hunter, Will Anderson.
And but like, man, they their front is that dangerous.
I know their offense can't do much right now, but
they are so feared and what they can do on
(28:18):
that defensive side of the ball. They're the teams. So
every year there's somebody that kind of starts stepping up
in week eleven, week twelve, and you're like, man, I
just don't want to steal on my schedule. And it's them.
And they've been like this because they're you know, because
their defense, but man, their defense. Like we've have week
(28:38):
after week after week of people trying to figure out
how can we slow them down? And they can't.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
You know, we talk about resiliency in teams Jay and
teams that you know quit as the season goes on,
and this is a Texans team zero to three, no
Joe Mixon.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
DJ Stroud is hurt. They could have easily packed it
in so many times this year and instead here they
are in the thick of the playoff chase. It really
is it really.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Is something, Yeah, but they're not They're not going to
pack it injurs. But they got in the defense oide
of the ball and Demigo ryants Yes, Like, man, the
job he's done as a coordinator this year, and I
it really is amazing when you look back at like
coyle Chan's coordinators. Look what obviously you know historment coordinators
do is the former head coach is Jets, right, Robert Sala.
Look what Dimiko has done. Like, man, there's just kind
(29:28):
of a culture of this, this chaos that those two
guys calls on that side of the ball that doesn't
really you know, look at San Franz, they've been so
beat up, but there's this chaos over there. Deniko has
it too. And no, I don't think this is the
type of team that's going to pack it in because
I think they you know, sharpen their weapons every week.
(29:48):
But you know, yeah, I just want to go back
to what I said, Like, guys, the Broncos signed someone
like Norman has unbelievable blocker, Like we need any help
we can get, and the like, hey, you're forty one
years old, we don't care, you're not afraid of the guys,
(30:10):
and see if you can help us, and he did.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
It's funny and one of my favorite players going. So
when that news started flowing, Jay I was like, yeah,
because as long as these guys keep playing, I don't
feel so damn old.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Well, so let me tell you what happened to Like
that week, Sean Payton calls and he's like, hey, we're
looking for a blocking tight end and I'm like, oh,
that's right. You get the Texans. I was like, hey, no,
he goes, we're looking for a tight end. I go
blocking and receiving. He goes blocking. I go, oh, look,
no further, because what do you mean. It's like, I
got your guy Mercedes Lewis, and he's like, what's he doing?
(30:44):
I said, dude, he's working like four times a day,
like big dope because a gangster. We're like, what's he doing?
I said, legally, I told him like three days ago.
He is underlooks in great shape. But like Mercedes, the
type of player that he'll fight you before you'll fight him.
He's he's that guy. So Sean's like, well that's what
I'm looking for. I said, you got the Texans. He goes, yeah,
(31:05):
we got the Texants. Oh yeah, it makes sense you
have the Texans. Like what could somebody do to slow
those cats down? And like I said, like, you know
what you're facing, but nobody could slow them down. They
are a violent, violent, violent defense. If they just can
just get a spark on the other side of the ball,
(31:25):
that is not a team that i'd want to face
down the playoffs stretch, well.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Jay, with them winning that game, I think you should
get a Super Bowl ring if the Broncos win it
all this year, like you won that game for them.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
No, I just want Mercedes to pay a bill once.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
There you go. Yeah, we always keep track of all right,
who's picking up a tab this week? All right, So
let's go to the other side of things. Sean McDermott
trying to keep this Bill's squad. They had a big
win against Tampa and come back tonight. He's under duress.
You'd take some of the opponent, but overall and uneven
run the Bills.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Yeah, it really has been you know, it's just like
you know, you got kind of look at it, like, man,
do they have the weapons? Like, look, they're young receiver
where they thought was gonna be like a big playmaker,
and he is, but he's not playing by their rules,
you know, and you got to show hey, this is
no one's bigger than this, right and and Jan Coleman.
So you know, the build I'm still trying to figure
(32:23):
out because they do have like the horses, but I
think like all their horses on Josh Allen, I mean, like,
look what the Chiefs do. Hey, we've got Patrick Mahomes.
But let's go be a great Let's go try and
get this guy and that guy and this guy and
that guy, and and I think the Bills, man, I
do still think the Bills as the stretch is going
(32:46):
to come down here. I do think they're a team
that you're not gonna want to face. I do think
they're a really really good team.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yeah. It's like we were talking about a few minutes
ago about how they're the good but not great teams
you try to find that.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
I can say that's a bad matchup. I think it's
a bad for them, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Jake Glazer with US senior Jason Smith Mike Harmon live
from the Fox Sports Radio studios. You know, we go
going down the list of these teams you don't want
to play going through. I know they're three and seven.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
But tell you what if the Bengals get Joe Burrow
back this week, Jail, I'll tell you man that that
could be some kind of run the next month if
Burrow comes back.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Man, So like two weeks ago, you guys know, Rosie
and I aren London and Joe and I are texting
each other and he's like, hey, man, I'm coming back
like wasting and people think I'm like and he says, like,
I think like thanks gimming Ish. I'm like, come on, dude,
there's no way, like I know, like doctors I talked to,
like his type of injury, that's gonna be like January,
(33:41):
not even like regular season, like it's just the and
I told you guys, the worst injury ever. And he's like, no, no,
I'm telling you, thanksgivving Ish. So then he tells me
this two weeks ago and all of a sudden, bam,
he comes back and you know, last Monday, and then
we text again. I'm like, hey, you feeling is like
pretty good, let's you know next week gos and I
(34:02):
was told like they're injured seven on seven and then
he's into eleven on eleven, but eleven on eleven he's
feeling great. And I think the big thing was like,
look he he toured a ligament, the tendon, the plate,
all this, and I think it's just got and and
part of it too, is his his management of pain
(34:23):
is different than most, Like I think a lot of
people when they deal with this injury is so painful,
like oh man, I can't do this, I can't do that,
and he's just like, it's part of it. It's my
heart to fight hurt, and I think Joe's is different. Man,
he is a gangster, he is different. So yeah, he's
(34:44):
done on eleven on eleven this week feels great. I
just never see anything like it.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Yeah, it's more appropriate now that he wanted one of
those batmobiles they were making. All right, So Jay I,
you know you work with him in one of your buddies.
I enjoyed the Smashing Machine. I was a fun theater romp.
But is there any better drama than the Eagles?
Speaker 4 (35:08):
No? Never, his thought doesn't matter what year there is,
it's always it's drama. It's it's they're a great reality show.
And you know, it's interesting because A J. Brown's taking
all the front of this. But it's not just a
J all right. He's just kind of an easy target
because he wears his his you know, his emotions on
his sleeve. And one of the things I love about
(35:28):
it is that's who you want. But here they are
a first place team and it's like the sky is
always falling there and it's it's always like that in Philadelphia.
This is how it is, you know. So but I
do think they man, they've got a they've got a
look last year I had a report and I got
(35:48):
killed for it. That man, Jalen Hurts the buy. I
actually loved the Jalen Hurts the buy. But Brandon, Graham
and Big Down went to his house, say, man, you
gotta just gotta connect with more of your teammates. Gotta
connect with these guys, and he did in credit him
and Brandon said it wasn't true, even though it's true.
And Jalen said it wasn't true even tho it's true.
(36:08):
And Jaleen and I talked about it. I'm like, dude,
this is a good thing. But I talked about it
last year and obviously they came together and they won
a super Bowl. But it's like it's happening all over again,
and I think he's gotta connect and it's on the
quarterback to make sure everybody's together and not just like
(36:29):
watch this happen. It's on the quarterback and go, Okay,
if there's a disconnect or there's an issue, it's on
me to go. We've got to bring us together. I
gotta do this, and I don't think that's happening there.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
You know, it's kind of aproposj that we have the
Cowboys and the Eagles this week. Did you talk about
two teams bathing in dysfunction? With the CD Lamb story
today that he missed curfew he was out at you know,
late at night in Vegas and had to deny reports
he was throwing up outside the casino following all of this. Like, man,
I'll tell you this, this is the dysfunction ball on
Sunday between these two teams.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
No, but you know, look, no doubt you know what
CD and George should have known better, especially a week
where you really got to stay together because of what
happened to them. They should have known better.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
There does this happen more than we know about? Like
we heard about this obviously they were benched the first
three place that became a story.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, Oh my god, yes,
oh my god. There's so many times that guys are
because you got to remember too, their kids, so they
do stupid tough. A lot of the coaches like I'm
gonna make exempt I remember, there's a great story Jimmy Johnson,
bench Michael Irvin. He was late for playing there, playing Detroit, right,
(37:47):
he kind of showed up as they're about to leave.
And but like coach Michael's here, like, nope, he's supposed
to be in the sea already. Take off leaves, so
the playing leaves, and this is Jimmy story, and so
I hope I don't get it wrong, but you know,
the plane leaves. They might make Michael fly in, but
they're gonna bench him for the start of the game.
(38:08):
And I think they went like three and out like
the first three series and the coaches come to Jimmy, go,
do you think Michael's learned his lesson? Yet?
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Sounds about right? So what happened? Did he go back?
Did he go in the game?
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Damn right it?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Jay, I gotta imagine Over the years on that Fox
NFL Sunday set, Jimmy Johnson regaled you with maybe one
hundred stories similar.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Oh my god, man, dude, let me tell you someone.
He retired this year. So he sat next to me
in my in our great room, right next to me,
and I'm like, this is the longest relationship I've ever
been in my life. He and he know, and he retired.
I man, I was attacked. I still am, but I
lost the guy sitting next to me for twenty three years.
(38:54):
It sucks that he's not there. With me like it.
We're we love we love him, we love him, we
love him. But yeah, no, I went to the morning cargot.
I still think I am, to be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
He's on Twitter at Jay Glazer. That's at Jay Glazer.
Jay as always, Buddy, appreciate the stuff, appreciate the stories
that my story was fantastic.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Man.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Love you man, Thanks for thanks for being with us. Hey,
have a great Thanksgiving. We'll talk to you soon. Appreciate you, buddy, Biggs,

Tire ac dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Well,
here we are Monday night football. At the end of
the first half. If you like scoring, you like the game,
even though it doesn't seem like it.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
There's a lot of field goals.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Then there was a lot of touchdowns and to no
one's surprised, the Dallas Cowboys are in charge of this
game right now over the Raiders. Raiders get a field
goal at the end of the half, but twenty four
to nine is the score. Three touchdowns for Dak Prescott,
including one to George Pickens. You're heard Monci Bologna's plate
and the update where the Raiders just stopped running out
let him cut back and said, oh I'm tired.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, that's fine. You guys go in. You recognize you're
two and seven coming into this game. You're terrible. The
holidays are coming. You got other things on your mind. Yeah, Hollada,
you want to see that Avatar halftime You were more
worried about making sure you had a good seat for that.
That's what Pete Carroll said on the on field interview too.
I want to get into the locker room right now
(01:45):
and see that Avatar thing. So thanks Lisa, we're gonna
go in. Yeah, we got five minutes because we need
to be back out here so we could see the thing,
the drone they've got flying around the field, because that'll
be really cool as a cross promotional thing. But forty
nine and a half was the total for this one.
We're already at thirty three, so you're feeling pretty good
if you had the over.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Now we do have a fair bit of drama if
from the first half of this game. But oh no,
that's not drama. That's that's like, that's low hanging fruit.
The first thing is this, right, you know, we'll get
to the Cowboys part of it in a second. But
for the Raiders twenty four to nine and Gino Smith
sixteen out of twenty eight. Yeah, for one hundred and
sixty seven yards the long first half and a pick,
(02:25):
it was yes, the second half is just getting set
to kick off now, sixteen out of twenty eight. He
is having a horrendous game. And not to mention the number,
the countless number of times he has thrown the ball
up for grabs. Dallas can't come up with an interception,
you know, because they're the thirty first ranked defense for
a reason. But I just can't help but feel right today,
we know we saw the end of Justin Fields as
(02:47):
the starting quarterback of the NFL. When Aaron Glenn said, Okay,
we're going to finish this experiment now because he's terrible,
and to Rod Taylor is going to be the starter.
I can't help but feel we're watching that happen now
for Gino Smith. Gino had a great run getting at
the back half of his career. He got into the
right system with Pete Carroll in Seattle, was a borderline
(03:08):
top fifteen ish league average quarterback. Made some plays, but
you can see he is clearly at the end now.
He has not been able to put points on the board.
He's had a couple of big games, but outside of that,
the Raiders' offense is terrible. He has not looked good.
He leads the league in interceptions, All his throws are dangerous.
He gets sacked meant much more now than he used
(03:29):
to in the past. And I just can't help but
feel that we're watching the end. And at some point
the next week, maybe it's after this game, you're gonna
see the Raiders will say, Okay, Geno, thanks, Kenny Pickett
will come in and play, Ken Stabler will come in
and play, Jim Plunkett will come in and play, and
obviously they'll be in for a new quarterback next year.
But the era of Gino as a starting quarterback in
(03:51):
the NFL, like that's coming to it. We watched the
end for Justin Fields now today, and the end for
Gino is coming real soon.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, we get to that same point of wondering, you
know how how crippling the dead cat money is for
future runs, But you sign the deal. You've lived with
it as long as you can. The offensive line is terrible,
as we've watched all year long. They've had some injuries
that took even their best players off the board. But
Gino taking what three sacks already. We've seen him throw
(04:18):
the ball in harm's way. We've seen other plays where
he's clearly not on the same page with the receivers
all at all, where it's five yards out of bounds,
you know, fifteen yards from where the receivers are route broke,
and he's just kind of looking at him and shrugging. Now,
one thing that did come off the broadcast, they're not
exactly giving him a whole lot of support here is
(04:38):
they're run in play action. But Ashton genty has two
carries at the head. You're not full of me. You're
not full of me. You're not gonna tell me you're
gonna hand the ball to a running back when you
only have two carries. You even had on the radio broadcast,
Kurt Warner turned to Kevin Harley goes this is right, right,
he's only got two carries. What are they doing? You
know that kind of thing. So where Kurt's raising his
(05:00):
hand going wait, wait, wait, what do we got going
on here? You got a guy that was one of
the most heralded running backs coming out of college in
a long time. He's got two carries. I know you
don't like your offensive line, but hey, we're gonna run
play at you. It's gonna fool them and open things
up downfield. Sure you know. And and the thing watching
about gino right, it's it's it's not that every pass
(05:22):
is bad, but just think about this for a second.
He just threw on a third down play. He just
threw the brock Bowers in the flat and Bland is
standing right there, gets his hand up to knock it down.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Could have easily been an interception. He puts the ball
in dangerous harms way. And I don't mean where Hey,
here's a pass that's gonna get knocked down or incomplete.
He puts the ball in harm's way where ooh, that
could have been picked probably once every three throws, right
that that that's that's kind of what watching him tonight
(05:53):
like once there, like he'll make a good throw, Okay,
then I'll make a bad throw and a throwby and
then don't put one where. Wow, that should have been
picked off again, Cowboys that there Again. Their defense is
ranked thirty first for a reason.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Uh. But you can't live that way, and that's kind
of im He's got to understand that. Okay, if my
guys aren't getting separation, I can't just throw it there
and hope that they're gonna get it right. There's gotta
be you gotta some find some sort of scheme to
figure something out. But for the most part, for Geno,
that's why he's near the end. He's putting again, He's
putting the ball in harm's way every third pass, and
(06:27):
that you know, that's what I mean. You're gonna see
the end of Gene because you can't keep throwing a
guy out there that keeps turning the ball over like
Gino does. Right now.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Obviously the defense is not playing well tonight, and the
Cowboys can do whatever they want to, but you can't
have that going forward.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
And you see the frustration level. Uh. Like I said,
it's very very coincidental that that. But a lot of
allegories and a lot of comparison to make with Hey,
the Jets, like, we saw enough of Justin Field's not turnovers,
but we saw enough of you throwing the ball poorly.
We're not gonna have a team the last seven eight
weeks of the season if we continue to put you
out there. The same thing for the Raiders. We're not
gonna have a t if we continue to put you
(07:01):
out there, you continue to turn the football over. So
maybe it's after this game, next game, but you are
seeing the end of the run. And it's been a
great second act. It's just ending really badly. But this
is the end for Gino. Yeah. With most Hollywood films,
I mean the third act falls apart. I mean we
watched that all the time, like that, Wow, you really
had me for that first hour and fifteen minutes and
(07:21):
then I was done. But with Gino Smith coming into
this game, you had more interceptions than touchdowns, just eleven
to twelve. But you know that that is in today's
NFL rarefied Air still completing nearly two thirds of his
past attempts. Fine, but the number of potential chaos throws
have been high. And against this Cowboys defense, now they
(07:43):
have reinforcements you're inspired to a degree getting on the field.
The memory of Kneeland fresh in their minds and in
a lot of talk before this game. So you know,
thoughts with them because they're clearly trying to get back
to the business of football after a bye week and
everything that went on there. But you know, you got
some reinforcements, so I thought you get a better effort
(08:06):
from the defense, But to this level, I mean, I
also still want to ask Pe Carroll's like, are you
just gonna put genty and bubble rap? At this point,
you knew your team wasn't gonna be in He's setting
things up for the next head coach. They probably say, listen,
we're gonna replace you at some point. Just make sure
he doesn't get hurt. Kie John Robinson, Arthur Smith had
him in that box, like, you know, he's really explosive.
(08:28):
He can do some things to maybe make life easier,
you know, for your rapidly descending quarterback. Not the hell
with that. For the next coach. We'll do it. Don't
worry about it. He's still gonna be great. He'll just
be great for somebody else. That's all it's gonna be.
And boy, and for two guys that I just want
to highlight here coming out of the weekend. Great game.
We'll get into the Browns in earnest for the offensive
(08:50):
side of things, but for Miles Garrett is what I
wanted to say, because he and Max Crosby really great
to watch, and Max Crosby made a big play early
in this game. Do you think they regret it all?
I mean, I know the guaranteed money is all finding good.
But every Sunday or Monday night, when you know you're
gonna go and just get your ass kicked, does it
(09:10):
get tired? I don't know. Maybe go to the bank
the next day and you feel better, do you? Yeah,
a Sunday and then I feel good the rest of
the week. When you're soaking in the tub, you feel
a little bit better, I guess.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Meanwhile, the drama for the Dallas Cowboys, this is gonna
be one of the more sought after postgame press conferences
from Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer. Ced Lamb and George
Pickens not on the field for the first drive in
the first few plays the Cowboys had tonight. Was it
an equipment malfunction? Was it something that happened was it
(09:46):
an injury situation nobody knew, And then midway through the
first half, sideline reporter Lisa Salters said, we spoke to
the Cowboys, got a statement from them. It was a
coaches decision that Pickens and Cede Lamb were not on
the field for the first drive. The coach is done,
coincidentally the best drive for the Raiders because they've just
been doing anything they wanted to since they've been on
(10:07):
the field. So a coaching decision for the two best
receivers on the Cowboys to not be out their beginning
of the game. So we're gonna get that post game.
But man, as you can see, the Cowboys are one
of those teams and you know, we talked about it
with the Eagles last week where you see the numbers,
see what they're doing here in the first f Yes,
it is the Raiders. But Pickens and Cede Lamb didn't start.
(10:28):
Didn't matter. Pickens just caught another passer about fifteen yards
and he made three guys miss. The Cowboys are one
of those teams where you could see this story and
I don't know what it's gonna be, but I'll front
guess this and I'll say I don't think this is
gonna be anything the Cowboys are gonna look at and say, oh,
this is gonna tear our team apart. The Eagles are
great at dealing with adversity and living in dysfunction, right,
(10:50):
we saw it this week. They lived in dysfunction all
last week, and they shut down the Lions on Sunday
night saying, yeah, we're still the big bad guys in
the NFC. The Cowboy There is another team that, Yeah,
controversy does it. They swim in controversy every day. Now,
generally it's not always on the field. It's off the field.
It's Jerry Jones, it's drama. But I don't think there's
(11:11):
anything that happened in this game with Pickens and Ceedee
Lamb that they're gonna be able to move past, because look,
they already have moved past it. Okay, I mean the
you know, the two of them tonight combined for one
hundred and eighty two yards receiving. Okay, I mean they
got two touchdowns, eleven catches. There is nothing they're not
doing Cowboys. That's the one thing. Oh, there's controversy, there's drama. No,
(11:32):
the Cowboys breathe it so I have no problem believing
that whatever it is with the two of them, it's
gonna be okay, because it already seems like it's okay.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
They were late. If it was a real issue, they
wouldn't have played right. I mean, you're down for a
couple of plays. Did you learn your lesson? Eh? But
rules are rules, right? Yeah? You have to hold folks accountable.
It's the old joke with the Cowboys, Jimmy Johnson. What
would you do if Troy Aikman fell asleep? I'd wake
them up. What would you do if it was, you know,
the last man on the roster, him out and make
(12:00):
an example of him. You know, it's it's that kind
of thing. Hey, Troy, do we need to go through
that again because you were napping? But for Lamb and
for Pickins, we see what this offense can do. I
mean they bring destruction. Javonta Williams has had a fantastic year,
But Troy Aikman in the broadcast is like, well, they've
got a three wide receiver set. And it was an
(12:20):
ISO shot of Lamb and Dickens on the sideline to
where he's like, wait, what the hell? This is interesting?
Bold strategy cotton kind of thing coming out of dodgeball,
and then Lisa Salters came back with the coach will
address it later. So I don't know that I've ever
wanted to hear from Schottenheimer more on his first day.
(12:41):
Do you think Jerry Jones lets him talk about it?
Do you think Jerry just takes over when they said
when Lisa Salters said the coaching decision, that meant my decision,
so to ask me, I'm the guy to talk to now.
So they went to one of the last remaining buffets,
so they miss curfew. You know I'm the coach, right,
I mean it's one everybody knows. I'm the head coaching
and Brian's a guy that I like, and uh, he's
(13:02):
there wearing the headset. But you know, coaching decision that
that's me. Now, if we could sync that up to
where we have, you know, Jerry Jones lips moving calling
off the play sheet, that would be something spectacular. We're
gonna run red rot Rocket four to six, toss power Trap,
go ahead, I'll run it, and oh take CD and
George Jason for that first see way too early for
Red Rocket. What we got? We got no red rock
(13:24):
geta can't run Okay, I got Steven Steven No, I
mean it's ten o'clock eastg Steven's got to tell me,
can't run that play. Can't run that play. I don't
know what that was. Got to run that run that play,
maybe Orange Rocket, but not Red. We got to run
the nnexation. You want to go full red annexation of
Puerto Rico. Let's run that one too. I saw that
work in the Giants game earlier, but they all seem
really small and wearing different jerseys, but they ran that
(13:46):
play for a big touchdowns. We're gonna run that one too.
They kept calling the little Giants. Don't know why the
regular Giants, but okay, little giants kind of ju the
position little like like jumbo shrimp. You know, you got
little giants like well, I mean we saw little giants
getting in a fight with the judgment Day and dominic
mysterio a little bit at raw and I too, so
everybody in the news. There was a great completion just
(14:06):
now to George Pickens, and it was one of those
teetering things as he was being tackled. I really thought
he was gonna flip the fall in the ball to
Ferguson and let him run it in instead. He's down
inside the five.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So here we are with the definitive fan duel French
fry rankings. And I would love to disagree with number one.
I'd love to I'd love to be that guy. But
ahead of all others, there is no equal McDonald's French fries,
and I'd love to argue with that, but they've been
the best. You talk about a dynasty growing up when
(14:47):
I was a kid, McDonald's and Burger King French fries.
I'm like, you gotta be kidding me, man, it should
be the same. He's by kn't eat the's Burger King
French fries McDonald's, Oh, of course. And they have had
a dynasty on French fries now for going on almost
fifty years. Here's the problem unapproached in fifty years. Yeah,
but here's the problem. The quality control sometimes, like all things, fails,
(15:07):
so you get a mealy, soggy, terrible, undercooked fry, which
which is the worst. Yeah, because they've got to go
back around and you either have to go into said
venue or you got to go back in the drive
through and say you gave me some really really suspect
fries here. Well, I'm always ascusion like six bucks. Yeah, yeah,
And you can always get him. You can always say
(15:29):
well done, and they'll always make him well done. Like
if you do that like that, I think you need
to do on a lot more French fries on this list.
The guys say well done, well done, well done. You
can try, but you may not be successful. Look, I
will say this because I want to see what everybody
else you know. McDonald's at the top.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
The one thing I will tell you in fast food,
if someone else is going to the restaurant for you
and bringing it back for you, do not get fries.
They don't travel well. Fries are not traveling.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
If you want to get me, the guy that's bringing
him back is gonna eat them. No, no, no, I
mean like by the time you get back, they're cold
and you really want to put them and heat them
up somehow. They don't travel. You want to get fries
if you are getting them on your plate and eating
them at that moment. No, I'm just kidding. What do
you have one of those Homer Simpson design with a
toaster evidence? Damn right, that's my one bit of French
(16:17):
fry advice. They don't travel well. Order something else and
you get them to come back. It's easier, it'll be hot,
and it's one thing. Yeah, mine is more. I don't
trust the cleanliness of the hands of whoever would be
delivering him for me. Okay, Well, they're reaching in and
grabbing some of those fries and contaminating the rest. Finish
them up, Go ahead, finish them up, all right? So
where you go now? MONSI, where are you on the
(16:38):
French fries?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Hot garbage of a list?
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Hot garbage garbage always the first one.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
The wings stop down at I can't wait that?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh no, wait? Are you? Are you kidding me? Are
you kidding me? Wing Stop? You don't go to wing
You don't go to place called wings. I do, but
I okay, you ask me my personal opinion. You go
for wings garbage. You listen, you go to red Lobster
to get lobster.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Not to get It's not my fault that Wingstop has
delicious fries.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
You're you're getting mad at me.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I like the has wings.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Do you go?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Do you travel to it to an alternate earth to
get fries at Wingstop? Wingstop fries are the worst. They're
the worst.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
You're legit on cracks and that's fine, and that's fine.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Hey, hey, that's just like your opinion. There's not enough
ranch dressing.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I could drown those fries in.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Wingstop is the best seasoning McDonald's fries.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Okay, sure, sure.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
I mean when they have a stand at Disneyland for McDonald's.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Fries, they took it away. What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I mean, that's gonna just tell you what it's at.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
And by the way, if you order well done, shame
on you. You're making everyone else wait and they have
to make an extra batch of fries because you want
the well done fries.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
I like the clims fries of McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yoh, then you just love Wingstop because Wingstop, you hold
it just falls right off there. Can you just cut
a potato and put it in a bag for me?
Come on, your French frying Wingstop looks like a candy
cane when you hold it up.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Is that it's how is in and out?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
It? See it?
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Should be at the very bottom.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Because in and out they're mealy. In and out, French
fries are terrible, terrible.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
They should be at the bottom.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
They tastes like the cardboard they are meal, just like
the paper bag for five guys.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
It tastes like what it's served in the.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Oh yeah, Look, there's a for a lot of places
that serve French fries, like you would think they would
be better on them, right, But I want to say,
how can you not approach McDonald's in fifty years? Like
I think that should be a movie like the Beginning
The King tried to and then they put that coding
on things that you can leave them off on the
side for forty five years and they're not changing. I
give Burger King credit. At least they're trying. Like they
come up with all kinds of different stuff. They're gonna
(18:34):
they're gonna have meals celebrating SpongeBob SquarePants. Man, how do
you how do you top We have forty seven flavors
of vanilla ice cream. We're gonna test them and the
best one is gonna get out there. Like I give them,
you know, props for trying, but how has no one
been able to do it, like I want the movie
to start where it's a guy in a room and
they're doing a they're doing the uh like the beginning
of Blindside when they're going through all the different ways here,
(18:54):
we need the West Coast offense to stop. Uh uh,
Lawrence Taylor, like the guys clicking through the fries going
you have to challenge McDonald's fries. I want to see
that movie now. I mean talking about just the origin story.
I mean go back and watch The Founder where you
got Nick Offerman. It's got to be crisp now, silent, higher,
higher temperature, low, lower cook time, silent. Through This entire
(19:16):
conversation so far has been Alex Tycher, likely because we're
talking about fries and not something that can extend your
life if you eat it. So Ty, it is a potato.
Where are you on this?
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Where do you want me to start?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
What do you agree with? The top? McDonald's at the top.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Really yeah, because you're saying they're untouched, right, you can't.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I mean you can't. I'm not saying like people don't
handle the given to you. I mean untouched, like the
ranking you're not close to.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
If we're going to go back to the nineties. Sure,
but twenty five you're gonna say McDonald still has good fries.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah, you're crazy, dude, the same fries.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
No, they're not. Well they are. That makes sense because
they don't decompose. I get that.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Okay, So wait, so wait, if you travel through time
and you and you you know something that we don't.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
I'm just saying that if you think McDonald's fries are
the best, you might want to just try other fries.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Give me something that's better, Give me one that's about easily.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Moncey brought one. Stop fries. Slap McDonald's fries.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Are you guys crazy?
Speaker 6 (20:07):
I'm crazy?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I mean I get on board the Arby's Curly fries
with the seasons.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
They're the best freezer sections.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
They're just thin and skinny, and they have sometimes too
much oil. Sometimes I salt, but they have too many ingredients.
You can taste it. It's not good.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
But if I go to Jack in the Box, I
don't want anything else on the menu. So that to
stop just for curly, I.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Fink you're all crazy.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Anything else on the menu.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Well, MANSI, how do you guys hate in and out fries?
They're literally the potatoes salt and pep. Every other fries
you guys have brought up are mealy and don't taste good.
Taco Have you got del taco fries?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
They'll taco fries are okay.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Secrets okay, But the better kept secret is the burger
it dell talk yes, wow talk if you want talking
about that.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
That is a much that's a double secret. Oh yeah, yeah,
you get that double dell.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
They got They throw in a burrito and taco for free.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
You know the level of respect that I have for
for for the three of you with this conversation, Lee,
I still have it for Monsy and Alex with this
crazy ass wingstop. What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I mean, all of a sudden, I see you differently.
I see I see you guys differently because I can't
do I have to do a taste. You like fries
that are absolutely awful?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
How are they awful? They're cut well, now you can
tell they're good potatoes because they go bad quickly. And
the dressing, the.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Inside, the inside of a French fry, the inside of
a French fries?
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Do you like ketchup mic on fries? Do you just
like fries?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
There's not enough ranch in the world. I can cover that.
Not enough ranch in the world, not not ketchup.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Or now if you make if you make animal cell
fries for in and out, then it goes up ranks me.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
But you can't do that with these fries. You can't
do chili cheese. You can't.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
No, no, it's just a regular fry because you you
ramp stuff up. Look, Shakeshack on the list in the
second tier one hundred percent. Shakeshack fries are that's okay.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Chick fil A Chris cut fries are good.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
The Chick fil A.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Fries you don't.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I'm I'm still good. Fire people, right, you can flick
them in because that's the best part of dipping with
the waffle fry is that if you get good, thick
enough ranch, it stays in the pores and you get
much more ranch per bite. Like that's a really good thing.
You gotta eat it somewhat quickly because but then when
you get the ones that sometimes will be the cross
(22:29):
cut and then there's just the thin little membrane and
potato all the bottoms, like all that holds it.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
In nice, which I think is the reason why it
dropped a d because it was better back in the
day when it had the little bit of skin on.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Sometimes you get the skin on that. But I mean,
but the fries that you guys are talking about, it's
like I can't eat fries that look like the inside
of an uncooked shrimp. Like that's no good. It's so
good for anybody where everyone when you've just mentioned, are awful,
the best in the game.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Actually, I think they're getting out.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
See I think they worked for about three and a half.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Minutes that you look as you looking down your nose
on people, because it's.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Not salted, it doesn't have the oils.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
It's it's not I worked in and out there you're
set oils creepy way yeah, because you probably took out
all the stuff that made it taste good and so no,
I'm but to put in this stuff that's gonna make
it help crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Probably did you probably changed them?
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Will you not eat a burger without their fries? That
says something I can't tell you the last time I
ordered fries. They're dining and stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I don't even get an extra crispy with the with
the animal stuff more. An extra crispy doesn't work there.
It's like you got to get like nuclear crispy, like
I would you to, you know, fly this close to
some test that's happening and then bring it back and
then maybe it's good enough. That's when we do live
in the state of California. That's not hard to fly.
I can't do it.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Speaking of California, a lot of this is regil. Can
you guys put me on game on any of these
that I've not seen. I've never been to McDonald's regional.
Apparently there's a one down not.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
What is crystal? I don't know crystal.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Hey, hey, hey, that's that's completely different. That's a different
prospect I've hadn't I've had water Burger, but I think
that's overrated.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
The crystal ones are the blue color. Jesse Pintman makes
them blue for everybody. Yeah, yeah, the blue crystal.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Yeah that's right. Secret ingredients chili powder, Uh yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Uh was it? Jackbi Zaxby's no, but you can start going.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Canes isn't bad, but I mean really it's see those
are also really mealy, never cooked way overall. That's why
I agree with the top with with McDonald's at the top,
because there's no other eat there's nothing even close. There's
nothing even close.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Like even you get to the RB's and the curly fries,
I'll get like there's one there's one part of it
where it all just coagulates together. It looks like one
super fry, like a vultron. Like, wow, now I just
got to eat all off the sides of this.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah, but if you do the right thing, you can
animate that in the cool Ai video and go viral.
Uh yeah, okay, but he looks like Megatron. Yeah, but
then I gotta eat fries that. I'm not a big fan.
I'd rather have fries, Jason.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
I can prove to you that you are overthinking how
good McDonald's fries are. If I've bought five different fries
that look like McDonald's and put them without like a
description of what's what, you wouldn't tell me which one
of McDonald's you, Oh sure I would.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
It's like it's like the it's like the coke versus
Pepsi test from the nineteen eight.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Well that's different.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yeah okay, yeah, Well this is RC colub. This is
all pepsy. Look at Day's better the Pepsi challenge from
the nineteen.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
I promised you would get it wrong.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I think I get it right.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
I promise you.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I think I get it right. I get McDonald's right. Stop, Hey,
what what's what is in the in the in the
red holder with the yellow M that's McDonald's. Got it.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
I'm telling you. If I put Jack in the box,
Carl McDonald's Burger King and whatever else.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
You said that properly, Yes, you said donald. You said
it like like like John Amos in uh in coming
to America, everybody on the south side.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Of I promise you those five you're not guessing it.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Stop stop. If you gave me other fries of maybe
something I haven't eaten, like that's regional someplace like Lee
was talking about, maybe you might get me there, but
not stuff that I've had that I know is bad.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
I don't not anything they sneak in a few diner
fries in here.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Most of this is.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Diner fries are awful. All they're all made, They're not
cooked enough, and again you just have to drown them
in ranch to be able to eat.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
The French fries. Keep the French fries and just give
me like a big glass of ranch. I'm gonna drink it.
That's what I'm gonna have. Rather have that drown it.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
It's true they do give you, well, at least they
give you a lot of it. Yeah, they do give
you a big.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
But I don't even know how to respond. What is?
What is? What is? Sam Jackson teltre vault in pulp
fiction when they're talking about dipping the French fries and man,
as I seen him, Man, they drown that blanket. Yeah,
that's how you have to have it. Well, there you go.
You should catch up on Tulsa King because Sam Jackson
shows up.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Jason, I will leave you with one thing, Okay, next
time you ever get fries from somewhere you don't like
trying with curry ketchup?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Now see that if you mutate the ketch. But I
can be on board. Is it? Is it?
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Steph curry ketchup? No, you just have to make it yourself.
You have to carry curry. But I'm just saying you
do sells curry catches and I got my own curry
just so you know. I got I've got a couple
of stores.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I'll get you please. Yeah, No, I got a good
place down by me.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Joining us now in the hot line to break it
all down nobody better NFL on Fox Insider Extraordinary Jay Glazer, Jay,
Happy Thursday. Man, how you doing. I'll tell buddy, we're
doing better than Josh Allen. Every time he took the step,
it felt like he took two steps and it was
running for his life. Jay.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
So let me tell you how feared the Texan trut is.
It's now feared. They are a couple of weeks ago,
Broncos are going to face the Texans, and Sean Payton's like, man,
we gotta do something. They literally signed Mercedes Lewis, who
is probably the best blocking Titan of all time, specifically
(27:57):
to come out of retirement for that game. Just like,
if this guy can help us on ten plays, we're
gonna take it because Percedes is a gangster and we
need somebody who's not afraid of Daniel Hunter, Will Anderson.
And but like, man, they their front is that dangerous.
I know their offense can't do much right now, but
they are so feared and what they can do on
(28:18):
that defensive side of the ball. They're the teams. So
every year there's somebody that kind of starts stepping up
in week eleven, week twelve, and you're like, man, I
just don't want to steal on my schedule. And it's them.
And they've been like this because they're you know, because
their defense, but man, their defense. Like we've have week
(28:38):
after week after week of people trying to figure out
how can we slow them down? And they can't.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
You know, we talk about resiliency in teams Jay and
teams that you know quit as the season goes on,
and this is a Texans team zero to three, no
Joe Mixon.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
DJ Stroud is hurt. They could have easily packed it
in so many times this year and instead here they
are in the thick of the playoff chase. It really
is it really.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Is something, Yeah, but they're not They're not going to
pack it injurs. But they got in the defense oide
of the ball and Demigo ryants Yes, Like, man, the
job he's done as a coordinator this year, and I
it really is amazing when you look back at like
coyle Chan's coordinators. Look what obviously you know historment coordinators
do is the former head coach is Jets, right, Robert Sala.
Look what Dimiko has done. Like, man, there's just kind
(29:28):
of a culture of this, this chaos that those two
guys calls on that side of the ball that doesn't
really you know, look at San Franz, they've been so
beat up, but there's this chaos over there. Deniko has
it too. And no, I don't think this is the
type of team that's going to pack it in because
I think they you know, sharpen their weapons every week.
(29:48):
But you know, yeah, I just want to go back
to what I said, Like, guys, the Broncos signed someone
like Norman has unbelievable blocker, Like we need any help
we can get, and the like, hey, you're forty one
years old, we don't care, you're not afraid of the guys,
(30:10):
and see if you can help us, and he did.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
It's funny and one of my favorite players going. So
when that news started flowing, Jay I was like, yeah,
because as long as these guys keep playing, I don't
feel so damn old.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Well, so let me tell you what happened to Like
that week, Sean Payton calls and he's like, hey, we're
looking for a blocking tight end and I'm like, oh,
that's right. You get the Texans. I was like, hey, no,
he goes, we're looking for a tight end. I go
blocking and receiving. He goes blocking. I go, oh, look,
no further, because what do you mean. It's like, I
got your guy Mercedes Lewis, and he's like, what's he doing?
(30:44):
I said, dude, he's working like four times a day,
like big dope because a gangster. We're like, what's he doing?
I said, legally, I told him like three days ago.
He is underlooks in great shape. But like Mercedes, the
type of player that he'll fight you before you'll fight him.
He's he's that guy. So Sean's like, well that's what
I'm looking for. I said, you got the Texans. He goes, yeah,
(31:05):
we got the Texants. Oh yeah, it makes sense you
have the Texans. Like what could somebody do to slow
those cats down? And like I said, like, you know
what you're facing, but nobody could slow them down. They
are a violent, violent, violent defense. If they just can
just get a spark on the other side of the ball,
(31:25):
that is not a team that i'd want to face
down the playoffs stretch, well.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Jay, with them winning that game, I think you should
get a Super Bowl ring if the Broncos win it
all this year, like you won that game for them.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
No, I just want Mercedes to pay a bill once.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
There you go. Yeah, we always keep track of all right,
who's picking up a tab this week? All right, So
let's go to the other side of things. Sean McDermott
trying to keep this Bill's squad. They had a big
win against Tampa and come back tonight. He's under duress.
You'd take some of the opponent, but overall and uneven
run the Bills.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Yeah, it really has been you know, it's just like
you know, you got kind of look at it, like, man,
do they have the weapons? Like, look, they're young receiver
where they thought was gonna be like a big playmaker,
and he is, but he's not playing by their rules,
you know, and you got to show hey, this is
no one's bigger than this, right and and Jan Coleman.
So you know, the build I'm still trying to figure
(32:23):
out because they do have like the horses, but I
think like all their horses on Josh Allen, I mean, like,
look what the Chiefs do. Hey, we've got Patrick Mahomes.
But let's go be a great Let's go try and
get this guy and that guy and this guy and
that guy, and and I think the Bills, man, I
do still think the Bills as the stretch is going
(32:46):
to come down here. I do think they're a team
that you're not gonna want to face. I do think
they're a really really good team.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yeah. It's like we were talking about a few minutes
ago about how they're the good but not great teams
you try to find that.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
I can say that's a bad matchup. I think it's
a bad for them, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Jake Glazer with US senior Jason Smith Mike Harmon live
from the Fox Sports Radio studios. You know, we go
going down the list of these teams you don't want
to play going through. I know they're three and seven.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
But tell you what if the Bengals get Joe Burrow
back this week, Jail, I'll tell you man that that
could be some kind of run the next month if
Burrow comes back.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Man, So like two weeks ago, you guys know, Rosie
and I aren London and Joe and I are texting
each other and he's like, hey, man, I'm coming back
like wasting and people think I'm like and he says, like,
I think like thanks gimming Ish. I'm like, come on, dude,
there's no way, like I know, like doctors I talked to,
like his type of injury, that's gonna be like January,
(33:41):
not even like regular season, like it's just the and
I told you guys, the worst injury ever. And he's like, no, no,
I'm telling you, thanksgivving Ish. So then he tells me
this two weeks ago and all of a sudden, bam,
he comes back and you know, last Monday, and then
we text again. I'm like, hey, you feeling is like
pretty good, let's you know next week gos and I
(34:02):
was told like they're injured seven on seven and then
he's into eleven on eleven, but eleven on eleven he's
feeling great. And I think the big thing was like,
look he he toured a ligament, the tendon, the plate,
all this, and I think it's just got and and
part of it too, is his his management of pain
(34:23):
is different than most, Like I think a lot of
people when they deal with this injury is so painful,
like oh man, I can't do this, I can't do that,
and he's just like, it's part of it. It's my
heart to fight hurt, and I think Joe's is different. Man,
he is a gangster, he is different. So yeah, he's
(34:44):
done on eleven on eleven this week feels great. I
just never see anything like it.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Yeah, it's more appropriate now that he wanted one of
those batmobiles they were making. All right, So Jay I,
you know you work with him in one of your buddies.
I enjoyed the Smashing Machine. I was a fun theater romp.
But is there any better drama than the Eagles?
Speaker 4 (35:08):
No? Never, his thought doesn't matter what year there is,
it's always it's drama. It's it's they're a great reality show.
And you know, it's interesting because A J. Brown's taking
all the front of this. But it's not just a
J all right. He's just kind of an easy target
because he wears his his you know, his emotions on
his sleeve. And one of the things I love about
(35:28):
it is that's who you want. But here they are
a first place team and it's like the sky is
always falling there and it's it's always like that in Philadelphia.
This is how it is, you know. So but I
do think they man, they've got a they've got a
look last year I had a report and I got
(35:48):
killed for it. That man, Jalen Hurts the buy. I
actually loved the Jalen Hurts the buy. But Brandon, Graham
and Big Down went to his house, say, man, you
gotta just gotta connect with more of your teammates. Gotta
connect with these guys, and he did in credit him
and Brandon said it wasn't true, even though it's true.
And Jalen said it wasn't true even tho it's true.
(36:08):
And Jaleen and I talked about it. I'm like, dude,
this is a good thing. But I talked about it
last year and obviously they came together and they won
a super Bowl. But it's like it's happening all over again,
and I think he's gotta connect and it's on the
quarterback to make sure everybody's together and not just like
(36:29):
watch this happen. It's on the quarterback and go, Okay,
if there's a disconnect or there's an issue, it's on
me to go. We've got to bring us together. I
gotta do this, and I don't think that's happening there.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
You know, it's kind of aproposj that we have the
Cowboys and the Eagles this week. Did you talk about
two teams bathing in dysfunction? With the CD Lamb story
today that he missed curfew he was out at you know,
late at night in Vegas and had to deny reports
he was throwing up outside the casino following all of this. Like, man,
I'll tell you this, this is the dysfunction ball on
Sunday between these two teams.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
No, but you know, look, no doubt you know what
CD and George should have known better, especially a week
where you really got to stay together because of what
happened to them. They should have known better.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
There does this happen more than we know about? Like
we heard about this obviously they were benched the first
three place that became a story.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, Oh my god, yes,
oh my god. There's so many times that guys are
because you got to remember too, their kids, so they
do stupid tough. A lot of the coaches like I'm
gonna make exempt I remember, there's a great story Jimmy Johnson,
bench Michael Irvin. He was late for playing there, playing Detroit, right,
(37:47):
he kind of showed up as they're about to leave.
And but like coach Michael's here, like, nope, he's supposed
to be in the sea already. Take off leaves, so
the playing leaves, and this is Jimmy story, and so
I hope I don't get it wrong, but you know,
the plane leaves. They might make Michael fly in, but
they're gonna bench him for the start of the game.
(38:08):
And I think they went like three and out like
the first three series and the coaches come to Jimmy, go,
do you think Michael's learned his lesson? Yet?
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Sounds about right? So what happened? Did he go back?
Did he go in the game?
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Damn right it?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Jay, I gotta imagine Over the years on that Fox
NFL Sunday set, Jimmy Johnson regaled you with maybe one
hundred stories similar.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Oh my god, man, dude, let me tell you someone.
He retired this year. So he sat next to me
in my in our great room, right next to me,
and I'm like, this is the longest relationship I've ever
been in my life. He and he know, and he retired.
I man, I was attacked. I still am, but I
lost the guy sitting next to me for twenty three years.
(38:54):
It sucks that he's not there. With me like it.
We're we love we love him, we love him, we
love him. But yeah, no, I went to the morning cargot.
I still think I am, to be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
He's on Twitter at Jay Glazer. That's at Jay Glazer.
Jay as always, Buddy, appreciate the stuff, appreciate the stories
that my story was fantastic.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Man.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Love you man, Thanks for thanks for being with us. Hey,
have a great Thanksgiving. We'll talk to you soon. Appreciate you, buddy, Biggs,
