putting this content out for you every single night, or
I should say tonight. Really if I want to be
accurate and I never want to be one that we're
full of positivity on a Friday. Of course, it really
is The Karl Anthony town Show with my best friend
(01:10):
Landry Shammitt. That's really what tonight show is really all about. Well,
we're all good, yeah, but come on, guys, I talk
about the guys that had big nights tonight. I mean,
come on, man, maybe the Knicks don't need Jalen Brunson.
Maybe he's completely overrated. Because if we can have Landry
Shammitt coming off the bench to score thirty six a game,
I think we're okay.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, I'm trying to tell you that all along, that
you overrated Jalen Brunson. But you know that's just me.
It also helps when you play a middling that's what
they are.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Miami seven and five coming into the game is really
really good. It's like playing the Thunder.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
No, that's great.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
When do you guys get like a circus tour that
you have to do, because I mean, you played nothing
but home games at this point.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
This is ridiculous, dude, What do you tell dude? We've
gone over this time and again. The NBA changed the rule.
The Knicks have eighty two home games this year because
it's much more fun to play at MSG than half
the places in the in the league. So every game
is at MSG.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
So the lady long term deal they had with Billy Joel.
He's he's kind of taking a step back, which means
the Nicks have just filled up and taking all the oxygen.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well, the thing is he'll do the off nights. It
goes Billy Joel Knicks, Billy Joel Knicks. Maybe Nicks back
to back, Billy Joel Knicks, Billy Joel Knicks.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
That's how he captain Jack.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
We cat, you hide and it's.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
All you need, man, It's all you need. Every every
game is a home game for the Knicks. Every game's
own sing a little vienna and the where we go?
I have scenes from an Italian restaurant. Hey, what are
we doing after the game?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I think we're supposed to go to an Italian restaurant.
I think that's what it tells me. Night for your guy, man.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I mean, but you had Kat had thirty eight and
Shaman had thirty six off the bench, Josh Hard had
a triple double. There are certain teams, Mike Carmen that
understand you need to step up when it's an NBA
Cup night, and there's certain teams that just don't, and
they decide, you know what, We're just gonna a big,
fat egg and I'll tell you these teams are going
nowhere in the playoffs. You kick it up for an
(03:04):
NBA Cup night middle of November. What are you gonna
do in June?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Come on, man, No, this is where you need to bring.
You take the rest of the week off, right. You
might have four games, this is the only one that
matters in the multi colored, very odd looking X ray
kind of MRI tube kind of looking courts that we
have here, where guys are glowing by the end of
(03:28):
the night. I mean, that's kind of where we're at
in this wonderful thing. And we've got the Clippers and
Mavericks getting after it more Nico Harrison scuttle, but Dirk
Davitsky decided to chime in. And then you got the
Lakers on the road at the Pelicans and they're up.
But really, I mean not showing out as you would
expect on an NBA Emirates.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Kay night, dude, Some teams should some teams know when
to show.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Look.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I look at these teams tonight and I know I can.
I can just x these teams out of contention, right
Like I know tonight with Orlando beating the nets, I
can knock the Nets out of contention. I can. I
can knock them out of them being a big time
playoff team. No, but you can knock him out. You
buried the lead, right, you got a two point lead.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Right now, he's struggling Milwaukee Bucks team battling to Charlotte
Hornets at four and seven. A loss here would send
Giannis to the Knicks tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I might, but yeah, but I don't know, man. I mean,
cat had thirty eight tonight. I don't know. He's the
guy that would have to go back and cal tell
you what. Hey, just really serious.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
He had a big week this week though, right because
you saw that one Yammoto autograph and then it was
going to sell. I mean, that's the fugaz Hey, let's
load up a box for an NBA you know, multi
billionaire dude that's gonna gonna put this out.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
No, but but but let me tell you of the
what you know, big storylines early this season. The biggest
question coming in for the team that was the favorite
to get to the finals in the East, Karl Anthony
Towns from someone who didn't know his role, like the
eve of the regular season, I think he knows his role.
He has been pretty good. He is fit. He and
mcal Bridges have fit into what Mike Brown has been
doing more than anybody else, Right, those are the biggest
(05:06):
things now. Playing Jalen Brunts in the final two minutes
of a game you're down by sixteen, you know, clearly
not Mike Brown's fourteen. Maybe Timms was coaching that game. Yeah,
via SNA's best moment. No, not great. But Karl Anthony
Towns Hey, Okay, last year was last year. You're up,
You're down? Okay, here comes Karl Anthony Towns Now the
revenge tour of Kat.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
It's gotta be kind of entertaining, though.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I mean when we look at some of the great
quotes and podium work that we've gotten throughout the NFL
between players and coaches and well and some gms and
owners of course along the way, I mean Woody Johnson's talk,
some Jerry Jones always gives us some quips and quotes
along the way. Mara has been active. But the fact
that we go back to Opening Night with Kat, of yeah,
(05:47):
I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what
they want me to do here. I mean, that's that's
pretty damning for the start of the season from Mike Brown.
So he's trying to make his coach look good as
best hegan, So.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
We'll have more NBA. Of course, we'll continue to follow
the huge night that is in the NBA Cup. Look,
it's a cup night, Man's Cup night. Just no, it's
a cup night, and everybody is showing up. It's a
cup night. Meanwhile, this story breaks late on Friday night,
and I say to myself, you know, there's sometimes when
a story is out there and no one is thinking
(06:25):
the way one person thinks the story is going, and
you really can't get them off that. Bill Belichick tonight
said he will not pursue any NFL head coaching vacancies
after his name has come up. Of course, in connection
with the vacant Giants job. He put out a statement
today saying, I have great respect and genuinely care for
the New York Giants organization and both the Mara and
(06:46):
Tish family. But his commitment to UNC football program has
never wavered. He's spelled wavered wrong, but that's okay. He's
got tremendous support from the university alumni, the entire Carolina community.
We're on to wake Forest. That's part of the statement
that he put out just a little bit ago.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, but way he put waivered out like he was
getting released.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah yeah, I mean someone from the squad.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
That's okay, that's kind of all those fantasy owners out there.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And also yeah and also uh proofreied proofrey. Don't just
post stuff proofreed proofread stuff proofre Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But it gives us something to laugh at because we're
nerds and grammar nerds.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Belichick's name only came up in the media because it's
a fun thing to think about. Oh here's Belichick, of course,
the longtime defensive coordinator under Bill Parcells, the job that
probably he wanted a few years ago when people thought
he was still a good coach. Uh. That's the only
place this has come up. The only place is us
talking about it and having fun. And Belichick is, I
(07:46):
gotta put out this thing. I'm not gonna pursue a
job in the NFL. He saw this as an opportunity
to change the narrative that nobody wants him into saying
I'm not gonna pursue anymore. Like people are calling him
now to come to the NFL. No one is calling him.
No one is that's why he's coaching at North Carolina
and not putting xes on his calendar to get past
(08:07):
Don Shula and the record for most wins all time.
That's why he's got No one is calling him. The
Giants aren't calling him. There's no insiders that have said, hey,
Lamara family has reached out, and and hey, Mike Kafka
is seen leaving Bill Belichick's house with a playbook and
with security guards. None of that is happening. This is
only going on in Bill Belichick's head and the fun
(08:28):
conversations we have here on the radio right when we
talked about this earlier this week, it was Okay, it's
not happening. The Giants aren't stupid. Bill Belichick has lost
his fastball. There's a reason why his team was bad
with New England. He won with Brady, he couldn't win
without him. He made bad decisions. He couldn't get a
job when he left the Patriots. He had a two
interview lead and Raheem Morris, who is probably gonna get
(08:49):
fired maybe sometime in the next month, gets the job
ahead of him. Nobody wants him, but yet now he sees, oh,
here's a chance for me. To put out, then, hey,
I'm not pursuing job. Oh now I'm a coma. No,
you're not a commodity. You're not seven and oh at
North Carolina you're not nine. And oh you're not looking
at the college football player. You're underachieving. You thought you're
gonna reinvent college football. Now look where you are. No
one is pursuing Bill Belichick. This was a free chance
(09:11):
him to make it look like, hey, people still want me.
No one. No one wants them, no one, no one.
No one's saying that. No one's calling him. It's not
it's not. The phone is not ringing. Jordan Hudson is
not picking up phones going hang on, mister Slaatee, hang on,
mister Slaatee, Hey, mister slate hang on, hang on, hang on,
hang on, hang on. I mean I went Flintstones there.
I know that was good.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
None of that is happening, None of that has happened,
and yet Belichick makes it seem like, hey, hey, pursuing
back in the end, No, I'm here for good now, man,
Well that's good because that's kind of where you are.
And we're all looking around at each other going I'm
not crazy, right, No one's really calling him Okay, ok
I just wanted to make sure about that.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
No, it's funny that you bring up the Flintstones because
I was actually looking into a guy that I've done
some business with in the trading cards. Back in the day,
they did a Flintstone's NFL product. He bought a Nonsports
lot and it showed up and he's like, hey, what
do you think of this? I'm like, that's kind of odd.
I kind of dig that. No idea what it is,
but I've got to do some research. So there you go.
(10:03):
I'd added bonus for the show tonight with a Flinstonian reference.
You want to get an Ann mar Rock in while
you're at it, that'd because Mickey Marble. Micky Marble is
my favorite. Yeah, we'll just keep going all the way
through it. But went in and get a great gazoo
in before it's all said and done.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yes, dumb dumbs. You could have hired Bill Belichick in
twenty nineteen. People would have liked that.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Not now, dumb dumb, But that's the thing, right for
Bill Belichick. It serves two purposes. One for anybody that
still wants to do the thousand word thought piece in
in print or a couple of minutes of a video
to say, hey the giants and here are the odds
and whatever, and put it out there.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
All right.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It keeps his name circulated because they will respond to that,
and it keeps it churned up. The other is to
show where you're operating, at least for the moment, from
a position of strength at North Carolina where it was
presumed that you were getting fired a month ago.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Right, No, I'm not, I don't be leaving.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I don't know that. That's a position of strength. When
you go from I'm not I'm getting fired to I
still have a job. That's not quite the position. No no,
no, no no.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
But we were turning things around that were in a
good spot.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Right.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
The winners of a couple in a row, you can say, well,
they only beat these two sad sack teams, including your
Syracuse Orange.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But the two teams they beat are in the bottom
three of the a C. Fine, you see, is a
pretty big conference. There's like fifty teams in it.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And they have bottom more games to potentially get on
the plus side and find themselves in a bowl game.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So if you're Bill Stanford.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Are three and eleven. Man, they're.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Right, but they won't.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Don't trying to muck this up for him right now,
he's feeling he's feeling chess. He's only one game under
five hundred right now, he's clawing back. And if they
can go and you know, win out, they're suddenly in
a bowl game. And and he's feeling that much better
about the choices that they've made in the where the
headed it, and it puts it on some more firm ground.
(12:03):
And I think that's as much of all right, I
just want to try to dredge this up that maybe
someone will want to hire me in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
No, that's that's part of it. That's fun.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And for the Giants, would you be surprised if they
went that way? I wouldn't with the no, no, no,
with the way Mara's done things. So Shane running the
ship to tell me that he knows what the hell he's.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Doing one and fifty percent of it. Jackson Dart would
hold out and say, I'm never planned. I love it
here in New York. I'm never playing for the Giants again.
You hire this guy, I'm not doing it all. I'm
saying somebody did, right now, nobody did the Cam Newton
and Matt Jones. Man, I'm not knowing.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Look since the red face Tom Coughlin stepped away, what
is this coach seven for with captain anything?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Any bets?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You know, they'll go tell me everything's off the table. No, no, no, no,
there's there's still a snowballs chance in hell.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But there's no snowball. There's no there's no there's no snow.
There's no, there's not there's not even there's not even
condensation you could even put into a drop that could
potentially become a bit of frost that could turn into
a snowball. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
No, Look, it's pouring here.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
All we need is a little bit of elevation and
a change attempt and we get We got ourselves some snow.
But we're looking at the North Carolina side of it.
And that's really where I think he's speaking to this
because a month ago it was speculation either he's walking away,
he's getting fired. Here's all these stories behind the scenes.
They've stabilized.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Again.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
They're bad opponents, but you know what, they're not all
going to be eight and one squads that you face
and and suddenly upend with some big upset, Right, you
face a bunch of bums that are at your level
or below, and right now he's taking advantage of that.
So he's saying, hey, stability, and here's where we are,
here's what we're building, and we're on to Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Okay, let me just take everything into account that's gone
on since he's been hired, right, Yeah, the Jordan Hudson
stuff in the offseason, the controversy surrounding the interview that
won't go away, the the petty games he's playing with
NFL evaluators. And here they are at four and five,
and yes, they're gonna have to beat three teams better
than they are to get Bowl eligible. To get there.
(14:15):
Do you really think this is what North Carolina envisioned?
It's no way, there's no they thought saying it is.
This is just going to come into maybe where we
started nine to three, the second year, we're going to
be eleven and one look at.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
This based on the schedule, right, because we did that
with this year, red JAHI, we did that with Pete
Futech before the season. We'll talk to Pete later on
in the show. Uh, And the expectations were higher and
then you realized, how, how should we say devoid of talent?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
This roster was he?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
He is? He has seen a spot. Now he's got
a soft spot in the last two weeks where they've
won a couple of games against two teams that are
absolutely terrible this year, and now he's looking for way
to spin the optics. So it looks like he's much
more of an as set than he's ever been. The
Giants might the Giants might want me. Meanwhile, the Giants
don't want him. North Carolina knows he's not going anywhere.
(15:08):
They're either going to fire him or he's gonna stay.
That's it. This is the last job he's ever gonna
have in football where he's on the sideline with a headset.
So everybody knows if he you know, he you know,
he does him right? You do you? Hey, whatever you're thinking,
But that's all he's trying to do.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
That's if you go on a walking path here in
southern California and you see a mountain lion, what are
you supposed to do?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Make yourself look as big as you can?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Right? That's Bill Belichick right now.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I thought it's to balls the mountain lion You're supposed
to make friends with him and give him food. I thought,
I thought, that's what you do. You see a big cat,
you want to be friends with him?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Right, No, that's only Andres Galaraga because you otherwise he'd
kick your ass in the ring.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
You don't get that the other cat.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I hear you.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It works for barstool.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Oh yeah, big guy. Sure, I forgot about big Cat.
I forgot about big Cat. Exit up to Fresca Exit
swollen Dome. So don't worry. Bill Belichick is not coming
to an NFL sideline near you to ruin your team.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Chances gets hit, the ball is loose, and it's alive.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Okay, none of those things.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Is why we can't have nice things.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I had to watch the Jets get their asses kicked
last night and do four hours and talk about how
good the Patriots are our best record. I don't need
this tonight, tight suit. It's a positivity.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
We sold the hell out of the fact that Justin
Field's had a great Fantasy game positivity.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Fright, ask Rich. Let me just say this, If you
can trade Justin Field, just do it now, Do it now.
Don't don't don't dicker over what you could get from
I don't mean like, go get Cameron Dicker. I don't
dick her. Whatever you can get for get it now,
get it now, get it now, get it now, telling
you get it now. But this is the tire rack
(20:08):
dot com playing the day. Bridges at the foul line,
passes left for Clarkson.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Wiske's past hockey is at the pink.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Kickcout shammit right.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Quarter three, new career high, thirty four points for Landry Shammitt.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, shammitt, Janet, Look at that, thirty six points. Here
come the next.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Met Shemman all day and sham it all night.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Go New York, Go New York.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
You know how to sham it.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
No.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Twelve and nineteen. He was six of twelve from three
point range.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Now we can trade Brunson for Yannis and we're gonna
be all set now we don't need him anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
It's great Joe, Jannison and Cat. Okay, i'd be good.
Maybe a three way deal where we trade Brunton and
get Luca. You know, we get we get Luca. That
that could work. I think, No, no, no, you can look,
you can go get whatever cast offs are there in Dallas.
We we talked about it the other day and suddenly
that's the report your rising. They were more concerned about
(21:03):
being able to deal Anthony Davis. Make sure he's not hurt.
Make sure he's not hurt so we can spin him off.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I mean that that is a little that is a
little bit insane that all of a sudden, everybody but
Cooper Flag could go in Dallas. Everybody might go and
Mark Cuban supposedly is back in the fall now and
they're talking to him. Oh my goodness, that's just such
a great story. Mark help us. We don't know what
we're doing.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
It's delicious theater. And then, because you know, people have
nothing better to do and other than talk about the
Emiralds Cup games, it's the You know, if Cooper Flag
were coming out next year, he wouldn't go any better
than six. Well he didn't come out this year, right,
he didn't. He's not still in college. He's in the NBA.
So there you go, number one. Pick shut up.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You know, I like it before we get to we
got two big NFL games to look at in the
next few minutes. I really like that. You know, we
talk about things that that people like to say. And
even though everybody knows this that you know, you say
it again, you're saying it for the first time, like
you know, Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard and Jeff Fisher
was on the competition committee. I like, now the new
one is Mark Cuban doesn't run the Mavericks anymore. Yeah, no,
(22:09):
we know this, We know this. He's he sold his
interest in the team a while ago. Everybody knows Mark
Cuban doesn't run the Mavericks anymore. All sports fans know this.
There's no need to say it, like, well, you know
he doesn't run around. Yeah, we all know that. We
all know he's not that guy, and we all know.
Everybody knows.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Because of Shark Tank and stuff, he still has such
a high profile. I bet some folks didn't know that though.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I think the average the average person might not know it,
but the average sports fan pretty sure they know it
by now.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Well, if he didn't, I don't know now.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Right after the Luca trade, Mark Cuban was a lot
of guy going. They didn't sell me on this. They
never talked to me, they didn't say one. I had
no idea this was coming. I can't can't pay this
on me. No, no, no, no, no, I did not know. No.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, I mean, I'm surprised he didn't take out full
page ads.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
How do you know he didn't. Maybe he did, and
he had some sort of like a beautiful mind message.
It looked like it was just a hey, buy Maverick
season tickets, but like every third letter meant, hey, I
didn't do this. This was stupid. I would never have
traded Luca.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
No, that's true. He just made sure to point that out.
I'm surprised you did for this holiday season. Squeeze this,
Luca doll Mark Cuban did not trade me.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
For the holiday season and the holiday So we'll have
more NBA on the way. But again, football Friday. Here,
we are big games to look at, and let's start
with a big one because I'll tell you what. Detroit
and Philadelphia, this is gonna be the game where, first
of all, I want to say, weather's supposed to be
clear with the low of forty weather. It's a big
(23:43):
deal in these games when the Lions have to play
on the road and the calendar turns in November, especially
when you're worried about the time of the game. It's
not like, hey, we're not playing at one o'clock on
its Sunday games a little bit later in the day.
We're gonna play at night it's good but supposed to
be about forty degrees, and which means things will be
fine for the Lions. And if I'm telling you that
(24:04):
Philadelphia is bathing in controversy and dysfunction, which they are,
they are. Really. They got that great soap that lathers
up and they are just bathing in it. Their offense
is not scoring, right, they're dealing with the controversy. They
win with it, which I tremendously respect and feel it
stupid at the same time, but I respect they can do.
This not gonna happen against the Lions. The Lions offense
(24:24):
is humming again. Dan Campbell taking over play calling duties
that seemed to put a huge spark in the offense.
Now they're going to win this game because the Eagles
won't be able to stay with them. The Lions will
just put too many points on the board and it's
going to be the game where Hey, we reaffirm the
Lions as a big Super Bowl favorite because so far
this year they've been prone to the stinker. Right. We
(24:47):
mentioned this earlier this week. Certain teams where you think, okay,
by this point, they would show you their real contenders.
The Lions. The bills. But some of these things, Hey,
they can put out a stinker for you. It's like, wow,
there was no reason for that stinker. Yeah, but we
got a stinker. Okay. The Lions that how it goes
for them sometimes. But the defense is gonna continue to
play really well. They're gonna continue Philadelphia's spiral offensively. They
(25:11):
jump back to an elite Super Bowl favorite. This is Lions,
and I don't even know that it's gonna be gonna
be in single digits, and the Lions win this by
double digits. I think it's a runaway game in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It's funny because I'm going the opposite way.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Of course, Eagles as a minor favorite over under, sitting
at a forty nine and a half, so we got
some entertainment here. Look, the Dan Campbell led play calling
came against Washington. You might as well have handed me
the play card for that game with what Washington's running
out there on both sides of the ball right now.
(25:44):
So I don't put much stock in that. The AJ
Brown think is interesting, fascinating. Don't start me in fantasy.
We did the I watch a flex podcast that go
does he count as a ninja? I don't even know,
Like he's a guy that is like, is he a
sleeper because you rank him high because Molly's aj Brown
and it's the Eagles and whatever. It's like, But are
you expecting anything great?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Generally? Not this week.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
The ball doesn't hit the back of the defensive back
as he's going down the field. No, he'll grab a
couple DeVante Smith eats and sat Quan Barkley. While I'm
not optimistic that he has a monster game, they do
enough to take care of Jared Goff, who's been middling
to date.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Meanwhile, so we're on opposite sides of the Lions and
the Eagles. One of the more interesting games because of
the drama that's come along with it this week. Right
earlier this week, Falcons quarterback Michael Pennix Junior doing a
press conference, asked about who helps him on the sideline
with football things, and he says, nobody helps me. You know,
I I talked to my fiance and I have coaches
(26:45):
that call me from high school, but nobody really helps me. Wow, dude,
nobody helps you. Don't you have a full coaching staff
there in Atlanta. Nobody helps you. What the hell do
you mean? Today. Finally Raheem Morris, the Falcons head coach,
and hey, wait a minute, these comments are misrepresented. Don't
do anything to this kid. Stop looking for a young man? Yeah,
uh misrepresented. No one's helping him. Oh okay. I don't
(27:07):
know how that's misrepresented, but I like how Rahem Morris said,
stop looking for stuff on a young man. You don't
need this stuff on him. Wait, hang on a second.
This is not anybody looking for stuff on him. This
is him saying he doesn't have any help. This is
on you. This is Raheem Morris trying to pull the
big deflection where this is not really about me. This
is about the evil media going through different different avenues
(27:27):
on Michael Penix Junior. No, Michael Penick Junr. Is telling
you he does not have the support staff that he needed.
He was asked about it today and he wouldn't talk
about it. You would think if Michael Pennix Junior wanted
this stuff and say, wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a minute, I got a lot of help here.
I talked to my OC, I talked to my quarterbacks
coach all the time. You would think he would have
said stuff, but he declined just saying everybody in the
(27:48):
Falcons facility knows the truth. Why would you not do that?
I mean read, why would you not at least put
out a statement saying, hey, this was said, I meant X,
Y and Z explained away. Instead, he had the coaches saying,
we talked to my all the time. One coach said,
I talked to Mike more than I talked to my wife.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
The fact the quarterback said it and he wouldn't back
it up tells me that there's a big issue. No
matter how you want to paint this says, oh, I'll
go after a kid. No, Raheem Morris, that's about you. No.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
But in Draheem Morris and Zach Robinson, it's who's the quarterback?
Coaches DJ Williams, and it's on Captain Kirk Cousins. Basically,
what you're saying is you got a bunch of empty
suits and empty chairs in a meeting room. Is this
like Caleb Williams last year where he would be sitting
watching film by himself.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I don't see how Raheem Morris makes it to the
end of the season. I thought he was if they
had a bad day Overseas last week and they didn't
score points. He was gonna get fired there, but they lost.
But it wasn't a you. They didn't lose thirty eight
to ten. But man, I'll tell you what you lose.
You lose another game here to Carolina and you're three
(28:53):
and seven. I mean, really, you've outscored the Saints by
thirteen points. That's how bad your offense is. Because your
offense is to talented to not put up more points,
to not be more dynamic. Right, too much young talent
on this team, And are they gonna just give away
the season? I can't see it. You know, there's still playoff,
but the NFC is very top heavy, but those last
(29:14):
couple of playoff spots, Man, the Cowboys have playoff hopes
and they're three and five. Yeah, I mean, I really,
I find it hard to believe that we're gonna see
Raheem Morris make it past Thanksgiving as Falcons head coach,
simply because offensively, they have too much talent to be
this bad and that's not changing, and you're not gonna
give away the rest of the season.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Well, they're losing this week. Carolina comes in getting three
and a half. They beat them thirty to nothing the
first time. Ric o'dowell a little bit chewba hub or
they're gonna run all over them. Look, they're not getting
a lot in the passing game. We've talked about where
Bryce Young is and what he hasn't been able to
translate into big points. But they can play a little
(29:53):
bit of defense, and outside of Bijon Robinson and Drake London,
what seem like a pretty row bos group of receivers
and options. Man, Kyle Pitts, come on, you know what
we get from him? Is this the game that he
wakes up? Is this in here in week eleven?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
No, I'm not going that route. And for Michael Penix,
he's gonna feel the pressure of what he said. The
weight is on him. No matter how much he talks
to his fiance and the old college coaches or anybody
he's playing video games with on Twitch, He's gonna get
run up at home and it's gonna be bad for
the Falcons.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
This is a bad week, man, I'm telling you. With
Pennick saying I don't get any help and not stepping up,
and the coach is having to step up for him
and try to deflect this that it's not about them. Yeah,
this could be it. This could be every week. It
could be the last game for e Morris as Falcons
head coach. It really could.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Nine touchdowns, three picks thus far for Penix, completing just
fifty eight point eight percent of his past attempts.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Exit out about a Fresco exit swallowing dome. We got
more previews coming up, but right now, time to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports from
someone who's been called the Landry Shammitt of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Why thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Whether he's in the starting lineup or off the bench,
he's gonna give you points.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Yeah, with Steve to say, we are starting with NBA.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
And by the way, Rick Carlisle X of Dallas has
been on the competition committee. I believe he also does
not own the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Oh jes thank you here to confirm that, though.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Didn't you go to high school in Dallas with Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
No, yes, yes, you're right about that. Yeah, you're right,
you're right.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Well, we did have a Knicks home win against Al Gore.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
And Tommy Lee Jones a roommates. No, you know that
I did hear that?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Yes? Did you know you should be first Wicked? From
last year? It was only part one?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Whoa did you know Darth Vader is Luke's dad? That's amazing?
Wa wow, whoa.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
That's par for the course on this show. New York
Next beat Miami won forty to one thirty two. Karl
Anthony Towns thirty nine points, no turnovers, Landry Shammitt thirty
six points. Jalen Brunson of the Knicks was out with
a sprain. Diaklogananobi of New York left early with a
strain hamstring. Orlando did not have Polo Banko out tonight
with a strang groin. Magic beat Brooklyn one oh five
(32:12):
ninety eight. The Nets now one and eleven. Detroit Pistons
are eleven and two. They won their ninth straight game,
beating Philadelphia one fourteen to one oh five. Tyrese Maxia
Philly thirty one points in the loss, but from three
point range he was two of eleven at Minnesota thirty
points for Anthony Edwards in a home win over Sacramento
won twenty four to one ten. The King's now three
(32:34):
and ten. Dementis Sabonis of Sacramento thirty four points in
the loss. Houston's eight and three after ripping Portland won
forty to one, sixteen Kevin Durant with thirty points in progress.
Midway through overtime. At Milwaukee, the Bucks are leading Charlotte
one thirty seven to one thirty one. kN Kinnepp will
having a great rookie year so far, thirty two points
(32:56):
for the Hornets. Lakers have won at New Orleans one
eighteen to one, four. New Orleans now two to ten
this year. Luka Donsi twenty four points in the LA victory,
and the Clippers are winning early fourth quarter at Dallas
ninety six to eighty six, twenty seven points for James
Harden of the Cliffs.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You save that very surprise. The Clippers are winning.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
In them shocker.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
No team has looked older or slower.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah, that is true.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
They're up ten at Dallas.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
While that really is an indictment of Dallas, isn't it,
because they'll be going to three and ten if they
lose this home game tonight Denvers Christian Brown could miss
at least six weeks with a sprained ankle. Nicola jokicch
of the Nuggets questionable for Saturday with a spraying wrist.
In college basketball, number twenty one, Arkansas edge Semford seventy
nine to seventy five. TCU at home leads number six
(33:47):
Michigan forty nine forty three, about eleven minutes to go
in that game. Also in progress, Fifteenth ranked UCLA leads
number five Arizona late first half in LA twenty four
to twenty one. The late game in about a half
an hour. Nineteenth rank Gonzaga plays at Arizona State. In
women's college hoofs, West Virginia upset number fifteen Duke NHL

on Fox TV tonight. It's now eighth ranked Oregon up
twenty eight six over Minnesota, about thirty seconds left till
halftime and five minutes left in the game. Clemson is
in the lead at number twenty Louisville twenty to nineteen,
Clemson four and five this year.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Back to you, well, Stam, I have one more question
for you. I don't know if you can you can
look this up or get the great researcher Sarah Langs.
Can you tell me has Samford University ever played Stanford
in either football or basketball.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
That you you'd think you could look that one up.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Okay, all right, My second one is has Sanford University
ever played Stamford University in football or basketball?
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Is that the same question?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I think that should be like those three teams should
play every year, like have their own Commander in Chief trophy.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Hey, wee, that was a Fred Sanford University we just missing.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I'm actually wearing a Fred Sandford shirt.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Remember, by the way, it is cowboy hat day at
the Ducks.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Well, Steve, I don't want to I don't want to
out be on this, but I mean they did have
Fred Sanford University. But then when the players kept having
heart attacks on the field, uh, you know, and then
it turned out to be all fake. Uh, they decided
to get Yeah they didn't. They got banned forever. I mean,
like you can fake, you know, injuries, but you keep
(35:28):
faking heart attacks and eventually they're gonna get mad. And
they got banned from doing that.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, something you didn't know, right, didn't know?
Speaker 5 (35:36):
So far, I'm not seeing any but I shall keep looking.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
All right, very good, Thank you, Steve. Coming up next, Hey,
some big college football games tomorrow. What quarterback is ready
for his Heisman moment? That's next Jason and Mike Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon WES at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon College football. Right now, Clemson was feeling pretty good.
Missed field goal by Louisville and then they can't get
a punt off because a low snap is fumbled by
the punter, and now it's Louisville with a chance to
go up with two minutes left to go in a
(36:24):
college football playoff survival game for Louisville. We'll have more
on this coming up in a few minutes. But looking ahead,
look big slate of games tomorrow and college football games
that are going to set up the rest of the playoff,
and maybe you look at where teams have one last
chance to stay in it. I'm looking for a Heisman
(36:46):
moment tomorrow from Ty Simpson against Oklahoma. All right, again,
shout out Kaitlin de Bor for being still one of
the top four teams in college football a month ago
everybody wanted him fired. Congratulations shout out to you for
flipping that narrative. But in a big revenge game for
last year, it's not going to be a stat year
for the Heisman winner, right, You need big winning moments.
(37:08):
Everybody's waiting for someone to have one. Alabama has the narrative,
they have the storyline. They're the big games on TV.
Now it's gonna be Simpson's time against a tough defenses.
Numbers line up with everybody else. But what's that moment
going to be. It's a big game tomorrow. Everybody's gonna
be watching. Really, you can say that in Texas Georgia,
the two games of the day. But I'm looking for
(37:29):
a big day from Simpson, big Heisman moment, a Manzell
like Heisman moment, and suddenly it's okay, this guy's gonna
wind up winning the trophy.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah, they're interesting and his numbers are solid. Right, Obviously,
you have the opening loss that you had everybody losing
their minds, and since then, twenty one touchdowns against one
pick is where Simpson is completing two thirds of his
past attempts. They've got a bunch of guys that have
run the football. None that stands out as a collective,
they're averaging three point five yards per carry, so they
(37:59):
will only go as far as Simpson's arm is gonna
take them. Bernard and Williams are your two leaders. Ten
touchdowns between them, both averaging about fifteen yards per catch,
so you get that done. On the other side, it's
the Alabama defense getting after Matier, who's been for all
the hype. And I know he was hurt, but we
take what's on the field. You're looking at a guy
(38:21):
completely about sixty four percent, but touchdown interception ratios basically
one to one. He's taken a bunch of sacks, does
add some running ability. He's got three hundred yards and
six touchdowns there, and Satanna has been his big receiver
when things break down. But I think Alabama's defense is
too much. Here minus six forty six is the total.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Remember six weeks ago, when Matier is gonna win the Heisman, Oh,
he's gonna win the hidsman the number one pick of
the draft.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
And then he missed some time, and here we are.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
That's what happens at six weeks now, not a Heisman moment,
but one just as big. Tomorrow we mentioned Georgia, Texas
everybody's gonna have arch belief after tomorrow. He's been great lately. Right,
took him a few starts. I get it, Like, what
do we say, Hey, maybe the second half of the
season's gonna be better than the first half of arch
Mann who's got to get used to some things. Took
(39:11):
him a few starts. The last couple of weeks against
good teams, he has been fantastic. This is not your
typical great Georgia team, right, Texas gonna throw it all
day and arch man is gonna cement his status as
the number one pick in the NFL draft in twenty
twenty seven. Texas is really unpredictable. But this is a
game they go in and win. They screw up the
sec arch Manning continues his running. Suddenly, Okay, everybody's back
(39:34):
in on the arch Manning bandwagon after tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
I saw the shot chart of what he did against Vanderbilt. Right,
he got to three hundred and twenty eight yards, but
he had the maximum was seventeen air yards. Everything was short.
Eleven pass completions ad or beyond or behind the line
of scrimmage. That ended up with one hundred and seventy
two yards of offense of his three twenty eight, which
(39:59):
is just in and you want to talk about really
insane Georgia right now, they have forced just seven turnovers
this season. When you think of the Georgian defense, you
don't think that that is tied for one hundred and
twenty second in the nation.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah, that's not great, not great, but great, Bob, Not great, Bob,
now considering you only go up to like one twenty five, right,
one twenty six, that's not great, Bob, not great. Uh So,
get ready, everybody back in on arch Manning after the bar.
I always told you Arge is gonna be good.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I told that George is six and a half point favorites.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Coming up next, we take a look at the two
of the biggest games of the week in the NFL.

full of positivity on a Friday. Of course, it really
is The Karl Anthony town Show with my best friend
(01:10):
Landry Shammitt. That's really what tonight show is really all about. Well,
we're all good, yeah, but come on, guys, I talk
about the guys that had big nights tonight. I mean,
come on, man, maybe the Knicks don't need Jalen Brunson.
Maybe he's completely overrated. Because if we can have Landry
Shammitt coming off the bench to score thirty six a game,
I think we're okay.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, I'm trying to tell you that all along, that
you overrated Jalen Brunson. But you know that's just me.
It also helps when you play a middling that's what
they are.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Miami seven and five coming into the game is really
really good. It's like playing the Thunder.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
No, that's great.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
When do you guys get like a circus tour that
you have to do, because I mean, you played nothing
but home games at this point.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
This is ridiculous, dude, What do you tell dude? We've
gone over this time and again. The NBA changed the rule.
The Knicks have eighty two home games this year because
it's much more fun to play at MSG than half
the places in the in the league. So every game
is at MSG.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
So the lady long term deal they had with Billy Joel.
He's he's kind of taking a step back, which means
the Nicks have just filled up and taking all the oxygen.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well, the thing is he'll do the off nights. It
goes Billy Joel Knicks, Billy Joel Knicks. Maybe Nicks back
to back, Billy Joel Knicks, Billy Joel Knicks.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
That's how he captain Jack.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
We cat, you hide and it's.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
All you need, man, It's all you need. Every every
game is a home game for the Knicks. Every game's
own sing a little vienna and the where we go?
I have scenes from an Italian restaurant. Hey, what are
we doing after the game?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I think we're supposed to go to an Italian restaurant.
I think that's what it tells me. Night for your guy, man.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I mean, but you had Kat had thirty eight and
Shaman had thirty six off the bench, Josh Hard had
a triple double. There are certain teams, Mike Carmen that
understand you need to step up when it's an NBA
Cup night, and there's certain teams that just don't, and
they decide, you know what, We're just gonna a big,
fat egg and I'll tell you these teams are going
nowhere in the playoffs. You kick it up for an
(03:04):
NBA Cup night middle of November. What are you gonna
do in June?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Come on, man, No, this is where you need to bring.
You take the rest of the week off, right. You
might have four games, this is the only one that
matters in the multi colored, very odd looking X ray
kind of MRI tube kind of looking courts that we
have here, where guys are glowing by the end of
(03:28):
the night. I mean, that's kind of where we're at
in this wonderful thing. And we've got the Clippers and
Mavericks getting after it more Nico Harrison scuttle, but Dirk
Davitsky decided to chime in. And then you got the
Lakers on the road at the Pelicans and they're up.
But really, I mean not showing out as you would
expect on an NBA Emirates.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Kay night, dude, Some teams should some teams know when
to show.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Look.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I look at these teams tonight and I know I can.
I can just x these teams out of contention, right
Like I know tonight with Orlando beating the nets, I
can knock the Nets out of contention. I can. I
can knock them out of them being a big time
playoff team. No, but you can knock him out. You
buried the lead, right, you got a two point lead.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Right now, he's struggling Milwaukee Bucks team battling to Charlotte
Hornets at four and seven. A loss here would send
Giannis to the Knicks tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I might, but yeah, but I don't know, man. I mean,
cat had thirty eight tonight. I don't know. He's the
guy that would have to go back and cal tell
you what. Hey, just really serious.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
He had a big week this week though, right because
you saw that one Yammoto autograph and then it was
going to sell. I mean, that's the fugaz Hey, let's
load up a box for an NBA you know, multi
billionaire dude that's gonna gonna put this out.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
No, but but but let me tell you of the
what you know, big storylines early this season. The biggest
question coming in for the team that was the favorite
to get to the finals in the East, Karl Anthony
Towns from someone who didn't know his role, like the
eve of the regular season, I think he knows his role.
He has been pretty good. He is fit. He and
mcal Bridges have fit into what Mike Brown has been
doing more than anybody else, Right, those are the biggest
(05:06):
things now. Playing Jalen Brunts in the final two minutes
of a game you're down by sixteen, you know, clearly
not Mike Brown's fourteen. Maybe Timms was coaching that game. Yeah,
via SNA's best moment. No, not great. But Karl Anthony
Towns Hey, Okay, last year was last year. You're up,
You're down? Okay, here comes Karl Anthony Towns Now the
revenge tour of Kat.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
It's gotta be kind of entertaining, though.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I mean when we look at some of the great
quotes and podium work that we've gotten throughout the NFL
between players and coaches and well and some gms and
owners of course along the way, I mean Woody Johnson's talk,
some Jerry Jones always gives us some quips and quotes
along the way. Mara has been active. But the fact
that we go back to Opening Night with Kat, of yeah,
(05:47):
I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what
they want me to do here. I mean, that's that's
pretty damning for the start of the season from Mike Brown.
So he's trying to make his coach look good as
best hegan, So.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
We'll have more NBA. Of course, we'll continue to follow
the huge night that is in the NBA Cup. Look,
it's a cup night, Man's Cup night. Just no, it's
a cup night, and everybody is showing up. It's a
cup night. Meanwhile, this story breaks late on Friday night,
and I say to myself, you know, there's sometimes when
a story is out there and no one is thinking
(06:25):
the way one person thinks the story is going, and
you really can't get them off that. Bill Belichick tonight
said he will not pursue any NFL head coaching vacancies
after his name has come up. Of course, in connection
with the vacant Giants job. He put out a statement
today saying, I have great respect and genuinely care for
the New York Giants organization and both the Mara and
(06:46):
Tish family. But his commitment to UNC football program has
never wavered. He's spelled wavered wrong, but that's okay. He's
got tremendous support from the university alumni, the entire Carolina community.
We're on to wake Forest. That's part of the statement
that he put out just a little bit ago.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, but way he put waivered out like he was
getting released.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah yeah, I mean someone from the squad.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
That's okay, that's kind of all those fantasy owners out there.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And also yeah and also uh proofreied proofrey. Don't just
post stuff proofreed proofread stuff proofre Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But it gives us something to laugh at because we're
nerds and grammar nerds.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Belichick's name only came up in the media because it's
a fun thing to think about. Oh here's Belichick, of course,
the longtime defensive coordinator under Bill Parcells, the job that
probably he wanted a few years ago when people thought
he was still a good coach. Uh. That's the only
place this has come up. The only place is us
talking about it and having fun. And Belichick is, I
(07:46):
gotta put out this thing. I'm not gonna pursue a
job in the NFL. He saw this as an opportunity
to change the narrative that nobody wants him into saying
I'm not gonna pursue anymore. Like people are calling him
now to come to the NFL. No one is calling him.
No one is that's why he's coaching at North Carolina
and not putting xes on his calendar to get past
(08:07):
Don Shula and the record for most wins all time.
That's why he's got No one is calling him. The
Giants aren't calling him. There's no insiders that have said, hey,
Lamara family has reached out, and and hey, Mike Kafka
is seen leaving Bill Belichick's house with a playbook and
with security guards. None of that is happening. This is
only going on in Bill Belichick's head and the fun
(08:28):
conversations we have here on the radio right when we
talked about this earlier this week, it was Okay, it's
not happening. The Giants aren't stupid. Bill Belichick has lost
his fastball. There's a reason why his team was bad
with New England. He won with Brady, he couldn't win
without him. He made bad decisions. He couldn't get a
job when he left the Patriots. He had a two
interview lead and Raheem Morris, who is probably gonna get
(08:49):
fired maybe sometime in the next month, gets the job
ahead of him. Nobody wants him, but yet now he sees, oh,
here's a chance for me. To put out, then, hey,
I'm not pursuing job. Oh now I'm a coma. No,
you're not a commodity. You're not seven and oh at
North Carolina you're not nine. And oh you're not looking
at the college football player. You're underachieving. You thought you're
gonna reinvent college football. Now look where you are. No
one is pursuing Bill Belichick. This was a free chance
(09:11):
him to make it look like, hey, people still want me.
No one. No one wants them, no one, no one.
No one's saying that. No one's calling him. It's not
it's not. The phone is not ringing. Jordan Hudson is
not picking up phones going hang on, mister Slaatee, hang on,
mister Slaatee, Hey, mister slate hang on, hang on, hang on,
hang on, hang on. I mean I went Flintstones there.
I know that was good.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
None of that is happening, None of that has happened,
and yet Belichick makes it seem like, hey, hey, pursuing
back in the end, No, I'm here for good now, man,
Well that's good because that's kind of where you are.
And we're all looking around at each other going I'm
not crazy, right, No one's really calling him Okay, ok
I just wanted to make sure about that.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
No, it's funny that you bring up the Flintstones because
I was actually looking into a guy that I've done
some business with in the trading cards. Back in the day,
they did a Flintstone's NFL product. He bought a Nonsports
lot and it showed up and he's like, hey, what
do you think of this? I'm like, that's kind of odd.
I kind of dig that. No idea what it is,
but I've got to do some research. So there you go.
(10:03):
I'd added bonus for the show tonight with a Flinstonian reference.
You want to get an Ann mar Rock in while
you're at it, that'd because Mickey Marble. Micky Marble is
my favorite. Yeah, we'll just keep going all the way
through it. But went in and get a great gazoo
in before it's all said and done.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yes, dumb dumbs. You could have hired Bill Belichick in
twenty nineteen. People would have liked that.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Not now, dumb dumb, But that's the thing, right for
Bill Belichick. It serves two purposes. One for anybody that
still wants to do the thousand word thought piece in
in print or a couple of minutes of a video
to say, hey the giants and here are the odds
and whatever, and put it out there.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
All right.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It keeps his name circulated because they will respond to that,
and it keeps it churned up. The other is to
show where you're operating, at least for the moment, from
a position of strength at North Carolina where it was
presumed that you were getting fired a month ago.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Right, No, I'm not, I don't be leaving.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I don't know that. That's a position of strength. When
you go from I'm not I'm getting fired to I
still have a job. That's not quite the position. No no,
no, no no.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
But we were turning things around that were in a
good spot.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Right.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
The winners of a couple in a row, you can say, well,
they only beat these two sad sack teams, including your
Syracuse Orange.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But the two teams they beat are in the bottom
three of the a C. Fine, you see, is a
pretty big conference. There's like fifty teams in it.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And they have bottom more games to potentially get on
the plus side and find themselves in a bowl game.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So if you're Bill Stanford.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Are three and eleven. Man, they're.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Right, but they won't.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Don't trying to muck this up for him right now,
he's feeling he's feeling chess. He's only one game under
five hundred right now, he's clawing back. And if they
can go and you know, win out, they're suddenly in
a bowl game. And and he's feeling that much better
about the choices that they've made in the where the
headed it, and it puts it on some more firm ground.
(12:03):
And I think that's as much of all right, I
just want to try to dredge this up that maybe
someone will want to hire me in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
No, that's that's part of it. That's fun.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And for the Giants, would you be surprised if they
went that way? I wouldn't with the no, no, no,
with the way Mara's done things. So Shane running the
ship to tell me that he knows what the hell he's.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Doing one and fifty percent of it. Jackson Dart would
hold out and say, I'm never planned. I love it
here in New York. I'm never playing for the Giants again.
You hire this guy, I'm not doing it all. I'm
saying somebody did, right now, nobody did the Cam Newton
and Matt Jones. Man, I'm not knowing.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Look since the red face Tom Coughlin stepped away, what
is this coach seven for with captain anything?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Any bets?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You know, they'll go tell me everything's off the table. No, no, no, no,
there's there's still a snowballs chance in hell.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But there's no snowball. There's no there's no there's no snow.
There's no, there's not there's not even there's not even
condensation you could even put into a drop that could
potentially become a bit of frost that could turn into
a snowball. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
No, Look, it's pouring here.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
All we need is a little bit of elevation and
a change attempt and we get We got ourselves some snow.
But we're looking at the North Carolina side of it.
And that's really where I think he's speaking to this
because a month ago it was speculation either he's walking away,
he's getting fired. Here's all these stories behind the scenes.
They've stabilized.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Again.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
They're bad opponents, but you know what, they're not all
going to be eight and one squads that you face
and and suddenly upend with some big upset, Right, you
face a bunch of bums that are at your level
or below, and right now he's taking advantage of that.
So he's saying, hey, stability, and here's where we are,
here's what we're building, and we're on to Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Okay, let me just take everything into account that's gone
on since he's been hired, right, Yeah, the Jordan Hudson
stuff in the offseason, the controversy surrounding the interview that
won't go away, the the petty games he's playing with
NFL evaluators. And here they are at four and five,
and yes, they're gonna have to beat three teams better
than they are to get Bowl eligible. To get there.
(14:15):
Do you really think this is what North Carolina envisioned?
It's no way, there's no they thought saying it is.
This is just going to come into maybe where we
started nine to three, the second year, we're going to
be eleven and one look at.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
This based on the schedule, right, because we did that
with this year, red JAHI, we did that with Pete
Futech before the season. We'll talk to Pete later on
in the show. Uh, And the expectations were higher and
then you realized, how, how should we say devoid of talent?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
This roster was he?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
He is? He has seen a spot. Now he's got
a soft spot in the last two weeks where they've
won a couple of games against two teams that are
absolutely terrible this year, and now he's looking for way
to spin the optics. So it looks like he's much
more of an as set than he's ever been. The
Giants might the Giants might want me. Meanwhile, the Giants
don't want him. North Carolina knows he's not going anywhere.
(15:08):
They're either going to fire him or he's gonna stay.
That's it. This is the last job he's ever gonna
have in football where he's on the sideline with a headset.
So everybody knows if he you know, he you know,
he does him right? You do you? Hey, whatever you're thinking,
But that's all he's trying to do.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
That's if you go on a walking path here in
southern California and you see a mountain lion, what are
you supposed to do?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Make yourself look as big as you can?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Right? That's Bill Belichick right now.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I thought it's to balls the mountain lion You're supposed
to make friends with him and give him food. I thought,
I thought, that's what you do. You see a big cat,
you want to be friends with him?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Right, No, that's only Andres Galaraga because you otherwise he'd
kick your ass in the ring.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
You don't get that the other cat.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I hear you.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It works for barstool.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Oh yeah, big guy. Sure, I forgot about big Cat.
I forgot about big Cat. Exit up to Fresca Exit
swollen Dome. So don't worry. Bill Belichick is not coming
to an NFL sideline near you to ruin your team.

Okay, none of those things.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Is why we can't have nice things.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I had to watch the Jets get their asses kicked
last night and do four hours and talk about how
good the Patriots are our best record. I don't need
this tonight, tight suit. It's a positivity.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
We sold the hell out of the fact that Justin
Field's had a great Fantasy game positivity.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Fright, ask Rich. Let me just say this, If you
can trade Justin Field, just do it now, Do it now.
Don't don't don't dicker over what you could get from
I don't mean like, go get Cameron Dicker. I don't
dick her. Whatever you can get for get it now,
get it now, get it now, get it now, telling
you get it now. But this is the tire rack

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Wiske's past hockey is at the pink.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Kickcout shammit right.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Quarter three, new career high, thirty four points for Landry Shammitt.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, shammitt, Janet, Look at that, thirty six points. Here
come the next.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Met Shemman all day and sham it all night.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Go New York, Go New York.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
You know how to sham it.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
No.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Twelve and nineteen. He was six of twelve from three
point range.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Now we can trade Brunson for Yannis and we're gonna
be all set now we don't need him anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
It's great Joe, Jannison and Cat. Okay, i'd be good.
Maybe a three way deal where we trade Brunton and
get Luca. You know, we get we get Luca. That
that could work. I think, No, no, no, you can look,
you can go get whatever cast offs are there in Dallas.
We we talked about it the other day and suddenly
that's the report your rising. They were more concerned about
(21:03):
being able to deal Anthony Davis. Make sure he's not hurt.
Make sure he's not hurt so we can spin him off.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I mean that that is a little that is a
little bit insane that all of a sudden, everybody but
Cooper Flag could go in Dallas. Everybody might go and
Mark Cuban supposedly is back in the fall now and
they're talking to him. Oh my goodness, that's just such
a great story. Mark help us. We don't know what
we're doing.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
It's delicious theater. And then, because you know, people have
nothing better to do and other than talk about the
Emiralds Cup games, it's the You know, if Cooper Flag
were coming out next year, he wouldn't go any better
than six. Well he didn't come out this year, right,
he didn't. He's not still in college. He's in the NBA.
So there you go, number one. Pick shut up.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You know, I like it before we get to we
got two big NFL games to look at in the
next few minutes. I really like that. You know, we
talk about things that that people like to say. And
even though everybody knows this that you know, you say
it again, you're saying it for the first time, like
you know, Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard and Jeff Fisher
was on the competition committee. I like, now the new
one is Mark Cuban doesn't run the Mavericks anymore. Yeah, no,
(22:09):
we know this, We know this. He's he sold his
interest in the team a while ago. Everybody knows Mark
Cuban doesn't run the Mavericks anymore. All sports fans know this.
There's no need to say it, like, well, you know
he doesn't run around. Yeah, we all know that. We
all know he's not that guy, and we all know.
Everybody knows.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Because of Shark Tank and stuff, he still has such
a high profile. I bet some folks didn't know that though.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I think the average the average person might not know it,
but the average sports fan pretty sure they know it
by now.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Well, if he didn't, I don't know now.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Right after the Luca trade, Mark Cuban was a lot
of guy going. They didn't sell me on this. They
never talked to me, they didn't say one. I had
no idea this was coming. I can't can't pay this
on me. No, no, no, no, no, I did not know. No.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, I mean, I'm surprised he didn't take out full
page ads.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
How do you know he didn't. Maybe he did, and
he had some sort of like a beautiful mind message.
It looked like it was just a hey, buy Maverick
season tickets, but like every third letter meant, hey, I
didn't do this. This was stupid. I would never have
traded Luca.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
No, that's true. He just made sure to point that out.
I'm surprised you did for this holiday season. Squeeze this,
Luca doll Mark Cuban did not trade me.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
For the holiday season and the holiday So we'll have
more NBA on the way. But again, football Friday. Here,
we are big games to look at, and let's start
with a big one because I'll tell you what. Detroit
and Philadelphia, this is gonna be the game where, first
of all, I want to say, weather's supposed to be
clear with the low of forty weather. It's a big
(23:43):
deal in these games when the Lions have to play
on the road and the calendar turns in November, especially
when you're worried about the time of the game. It's
not like, hey, we're not playing at one o'clock on
its Sunday games a little bit later in the day.
We're gonna play at night it's good but supposed to
be about forty degrees, and which means things will be
fine for the Lions. And if I'm telling you that
(24:04):
Philadelphia is bathing in controversy and dysfunction, which they are,
they are. Really. They got that great soap that lathers
up and they are just bathing in it. Their offense
is not scoring, right, they're dealing with the controversy. They
win with it, which I tremendously respect and feel it
stupid at the same time, but I respect they can do.
This not gonna happen against the Lions. The Lions offense
(24:24):
is humming again. Dan Campbell taking over play calling duties
that seemed to put a huge spark in the offense.
Now they're going to win this game because the Eagles
won't be able to stay with them. The Lions will
just put too many points on the board and it's
going to be the game where Hey, we reaffirm the
Lions as a big Super Bowl favorite because so far
this year they've been prone to the stinker. Right. We
(24:47):
mentioned this earlier this week. Certain teams where you think, okay,
by this point, they would show you their real contenders.
The Lions. The bills. But some of these things, Hey,
they can put out a stinker for you. It's like, wow,
there was no reason for that stinker. Yeah, but we
got a stinker. Okay. The Lions that how it goes
for them sometimes. But the defense is gonna continue to
play really well. They're gonna continue Philadelphia's spiral offensively. They
(25:11):
jump back to an elite Super Bowl favorite. This is Lions,
and I don't even know that it's gonna be gonna
be in single digits, and the Lions win this by
double digits. I think it's a runaway game in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It's funny because I'm going the opposite way.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Of course, Eagles as a minor favorite over under, sitting
at a forty nine and a half, so we got
some entertainment here. Look, the Dan Campbell led play calling
came against Washington. You might as well have handed me
the play card for that game with what Washington's running
out there on both sides of the ball right now.
(25:44):
So I don't put much stock in that. The AJ
Brown think is interesting, fascinating. Don't start me in fantasy.
We did the I watch a flex podcast that go
does he count as a ninja? I don't even know,
Like he's a guy that is like, is he a
sleeper because you rank him high because Molly's aj Brown
and it's the Eagles and whatever. It's like, But are
you expecting anything great?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Generally? Not this week.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
The ball doesn't hit the back of the defensive back
as he's going down the field. No, he'll grab a
couple DeVante Smith eats and sat Quan Barkley. While I'm
not optimistic that he has a monster game, they do
enough to take care of Jared Goff, who's been middling
to date.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Meanwhile, so we're on opposite sides of the Lions and
the Eagles. One of the more interesting games because of
the drama that's come along with it this week. Right
earlier this week, Falcons quarterback Michael Pennix Junior doing a
press conference, asked about who helps him on the sideline
with football things, and he says, nobody helps me. You know,
I I talked to my fiance and I have coaches
(26:45):
that call me from high school, but nobody really helps me. Wow, dude,
nobody helps you. Don't you have a full coaching staff
there in Atlanta. Nobody helps you. What the hell do
you mean? Today. Finally Raheem Morris, the Falcons head coach,
and hey, wait a minute, these comments are misrepresented. Don't
do anything to this kid. Stop looking for a young man? Yeah,
uh misrepresented. No one's helping him. Oh okay. I don't
(27:07):
know how that's misrepresented, but I like how Rahem Morris said,
stop looking for stuff on a young man. You don't
need this stuff on him. Wait, hang on a second.
This is not anybody looking for stuff on him. This
is him saying he doesn't have any help. This is
on you. This is Raheem Morris trying to pull the
big deflection where this is not really about me. This
is about the evil media going through different different avenues
(27:27):
on Michael Penix Junior. No, Michael Penick Junr. Is telling
you he does not have the support staff that he needed.
He was asked about it today and he wouldn't talk
about it. You would think if Michael Pennix Junior wanted
this stuff and say, wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a minute, I got a lot of help here.
I talked to my OC, I talked to my quarterbacks
coach all the time. You would think he would have
said stuff, but he declined just saying everybody in the
(27:48):
Falcons facility knows the truth. Why would you not do that?
I mean read, why would you not at least put
out a statement saying, hey, this was said, I meant X,
Y and Z explained away. Instead, he had the coaches saying,
we talked to my all the time. One coach said,
I talked to Mike more than I talked to my wife.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
The fact the quarterback said it and he wouldn't back
it up tells me that there's a big issue. No
matter how you want to paint this says, oh, I'll
go after a kid. No, Raheem Morris, that's about you. No.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
But in Draheem Morris and Zach Robinson, it's who's the quarterback?
Coaches DJ Williams, and it's on Captain Kirk Cousins. Basically,
what you're saying is you got a bunch of empty
suits and empty chairs in a meeting room. Is this
like Caleb Williams last year where he would be sitting
watching film by himself.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I don't see how Raheem Morris makes it to the
end of the season. I thought he was if they
had a bad day Overseas last week and they didn't
score points. He was gonna get fired there, but they lost.
But it wasn't a you. They didn't lose thirty eight
to ten. But man, I'll tell you what you lose.
You lose another game here to Carolina and you're three
(28:53):
and seven. I mean, really, you've outscored the Saints by
thirteen points. That's how bad your offense is. Because your
offense is to talented to not put up more points,
to not be more dynamic. Right, too much young talent
on this team, And are they gonna just give away
the season? I can't see it. You know, there's still playoff,
but the NFC is very top heavy, but those last
(29:14):
couple of playoff spots, Man, the Cowboys have playoff hopes
and they're three and five. Yeah, I mean, I really,
I find it hard to believe that we're gonna see
Raheem Morris make it past Thanksgiving as Falcons head coach,
simply because offensively, they have too much talent to be
this bad and that's not changing, and you're not gonna
give away the rest of the season.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Well, they're losing this week. Carolina comes in getting three
and a half. They beat them thirty to nothing the
first time. Ric o'dowell a little bit chewba hub or
they're gonna run all over them. Look, they're not getting
a lot in the passing game. We've talked about where
Bryce Young is and what he hasn't been able to
translate into big points. But they can play a little
(29:53):
bit of defense, and outside of Bijon Robinson and Drake London,
what seem like a pretty row bos group of receivers
and options. Man, Kyle Pitts, come on, you know what
we get from him? Is this the game that he
wakes up? Is this in here in week eleven?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
No, I'm not going that route. And for Michael Penix,
he's gonna feel the pressure of what he said. The
weight is on him. No matter how much he talks
to his fiance and the old college coaches or anybody
he's playing video games with on Twitch, He's gonna get
run up at home and it's gonna be bad for
the Falcons.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
This is a bad week, man, I'm telling you. With
Pennick saying I don't get any help and not stepping up,
and the coach is having to step up for him
and try to deflect this that it's not about them. Yeah,
this could be it. This could be every week. It
could be the last game for e Morris as Falcons
head coach. It really could.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Nine touchdowns, three picks thus far for Penix, completing just
fifty eight point eight percent of his past attempts.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Exit out about a Fresco exit swallowing dome. We got
more previews coming up, but right now, time to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports from
someone who's been called the Landry Shammitt of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Why thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Whether he's in the starting lineup or off the bench,
he's gonna give you points.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Yeah, with Steve to say, we are starting with NBA.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
And by the way, Rick Carlisle X of Dallas has
been on the competition committee. I believe he also does
not own the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Oh jes thank you here to confirm that, though.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Didn't you go to high school in Dallas with Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
No, yes, yes, you're right about that. Yeah, you're right,
you're right.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Well, we did have a Knicks home win against Al Gore.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
And Tommy Lee Jones a roommates. No, you know that
I did hear that?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Yes? Did you know you should be first Wicked? From
last year? It was only part one?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Whoa did you know Darth Vader is Luke's dad? That's amazing?
Wa wow, whoa.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
That's par for the course on this show. New York
Next beat Miami won forty to one thirty two. Karl
Anthony Towns thirty nine points, no turnovers, Landry Shammitt thirty
six points. Jalen Brunson of the Knicks was out with
a sprain. Diaklogananobi of New York left early with a
strain hamstring. Orlando did not have Polo Banko out tonight
with a strang groin. Magic beat Brooklyn one oh five
(32:12):
ninety eight. The Nets now one and eleven. Detroit Pistons
are eleven and two. They won their ninth straight game,
beating Philadelphia one fourteen to one oh five. Tyrese Maxia
Philly thirty one points in the loss, but from three
point range he was two of eleven at Minnesota thirty
points for Anthony Edwards in a home win over Sacramento
won twenty four to one ten. The King's now three
(32:34):
and ten. Dementis Sabonis of Sacramento thirty four points in
the loss. Houston's eight and three after ripping Portland won
forty to one, sixteen Kevin Durant with thirty points in progress.
Midway through overtime. At Milwaukee, the Bucks are leading Charlotte
one thirty seven to one thirty one. kN Kinnepp will
having a great rookie year so far, thirty two points
(32:56):
for the Hornets. Lakers have won at New Orleans one
eighteen to one, four. New Orleans now two to ten
this year. Luka Donsi twenty four points in the LA victory,
and the Clippers are winning early fourth quarter at Dallas
ninety six to eighty six, twenty seven points for James
Harden of the Cliffs.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You save that very surprise. The Clippers are winning.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
In them shocker.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
No team has looked older or slower.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah, that is true.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
They're up ten at Dallas.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
While that really is an indictment of Dallas, isn't it,
because they'll be going to three and ten if they
lose this home game tonight Denvers Christian Brown could miss
at least six weeks with a sprained ankle. Nicola jokicch
of the Nuggets questionable for Saturday with a spraying wrist.
In college basketball, number twenty one, Arkansas edge Semford seventy
nine to seventy five. TCU at home leads number six
(33:47):
Michigan forty nine forty three, about eleven minutes to go
in that game. Also in progress, Fifteenth ranked UCLA leads
number five Arizona late first half in LA twenty four
to twenty one. The late game in about a half
an hour. Nineteenth rank Gonzaga plays at Arizona State. In
women's college hoofs, West Virginia upset number fifteen Duke NHL

twenty eight six over Minnesota, about thirty seconds left till
halftime and five minutes left in the game. Clemson is
in the lead at number twenty Louisville twenty to nineteen,
Clemson four and five this year.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Back to you, well, Stam, I have one more question
for you. I don't know if you can you can
look this up or get the great researcher Sarah Langs.
Can you tell me has Samford University ever played Stanford
in either football or basketball.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
That you you'd think you could look that one up.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Okay, all right, My second one is has Sanford University
ever played Stamford University in football or basketball?
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Is that the same question?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I think that should be like those three teams should
play every year, like have their own Commander in Chief trophy.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Hey, wee, that was a Fred Sanford University we just missing.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I'm actually wearing a Fred Sandford shirt.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Remember, by the way, it is cowboy hat day at
the Ducks.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Well, Steve, I don't want to I don't want to
out be on this, but I mean they did have
Fred Sanford University. But then when the players kept having
heart attacks on the field, uh, you know, and then
it turned out to be all fake. Uh, they decided
to get Yeah they didn't. They got banned forever. I mean,
like you can fake, you know, injuries, but you keep
(35:28):
faking heart attacks and eventually they're gonna get mad. And
they got banned from doing that.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, something you didn't know, right, didn't know?
Speaker 5 (35:36):
So far, I'm not seeing any but I shall keep looking.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
All right, very good, Thank you, Steve. Coming up next, Hey,
some big college football games tomorrow. What quarterback is ready
for his Heisman moment? That's next Jason and Mike Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon WES at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon College football. Right now, Clemson was feeling pretty good.
Missed field goal by Louisville and then they can't get
a punt off because a low snap is fumbled by
the punter, and now it's Louisville with a chance to
go up with two minutes left to go in a
(36:24):
college football playoff survival game for Louisville. We'll have more
on this coming up in a few minutes. But looking ahead,
look big slate of games tomorrow and college football games
that are going to set up the rest of the playoff,
and maybe you look at where teams have one last
chance to stay in it. I'm looking for a Heisman
(36:46):
moment tomorrow from Ty Simpson against Oklahoma. All right, again,
shout out Kaitlin de Bor for being still one of
the top four teams in college football a month ago
everybody wanted him fired. Congratulations shout out to you for
flipping that narrative. But in a big revenge game for
last year, it's not going to be a stat year
for the Heisman winner, right, You need big winning moments.
(37:08):
Everybody's waiting for someone to have one. Alabama has the narrative,
they have the storyline. They're the big games on TV.
Now it's gonna be Simpson's time against a tough defenses.
Numbers line up with everybody else. But what's that moment
going to be. It's a big game tomorrow. Everybody's gonna
be watching. Really, you can say that in Texas Georgia,
the two games of the day. But I'm looking for
(37:29):
a big day from Simpson, big Heisman moment, a Manzell
like Heisman moment, and suddenly it's okay, this guy's gonna
wind up winning the trophy.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah, they're interesting and his numbers are solid. Right, Obviously,
you have the opening loss that you had everybody losing
their minds, and since then, twenty one touchdowns against one
pick is where Simpson is completing two thirds of his
past attempts. They've got a bunch of guys that have
run the football. None that stands out as a collective,
they're averaging three point five yards per carry, so they
(37:59):
will only go as far as Simpson's arm is gonna
take them. Bernard and Williams are your two leaders. Ten
touchdowns between them, both averaging about fifteen yards per catch,
so you get that done. On the other side, it's
the Alabama defense getting after Matier, who's been for all
the hype. And I know he was hurt, but we
take what's on the field. You're looking at a guy
(38:21):
completely about sixty four percent, but touchdown interception ratios basically
one to one. He's taken a bunch of sacks, does
add some running ability. He's got three hundred yards and
six touchdowns there, and Satanna has been his big receiver
when things break down. But I think Alabama's defense is
too much. Here minus six forty six is the total.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Remember six weeks ago, when Matier is gonna win the Heisman, Oh,
he's gonna win the hidsman the number one pick of
the draft.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
And then he missed some time, and here we are.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
That's what happens at six weeks now, not a Heisman moment,
but one just as big. Tomorrow we mentioned Georgia, Texas
everybody's gonna have arch belief after tomorrow. He's been great lately. Right,
took him a few starts. I get it, Like, what
do we say, Hey, maybe the second half of the
season's gonna be better than the first half of arch
Mann who's got to get used to some things. Took
(39:11):
him a few starts. The last couple of weeks against
good teams, he has been fantastic. This is not your
typical great Georgia team, right, Texas gonna throw it all
day and arch man is gonna cement his status as
the number one pick in the NFL draft in twenty
twenty seven. Texas is really unpredictable. But this is a
game they go in and win. They screw up the
sec arch Manning continues his running. Suddenly, Okay, everybody's back
(39:34):
in on the arch Manning bandwagon after tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
I saw the shot chart of what he did against Vanderbilt. Right,
he got to three hundred and twenty eight yards, but
he had the maximum was seventeen air yards. Everything was short.
Eleven pass completions ad or beyond or behind the line
of scrimmage. That ended up with one hundred and seventy
two yards of offense of his three twenty eight, which
(39:59):
is just in and you want to talk about really
insane Georgia right now, they have forced just seven turnovers
this season. When you think of the Georgian defense, you
don't think that that is tied for one hundred and
twenty second in the nation.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah, that's not great, not great, but great, Bob, Not great, Bob,
now considering you only go up to like one twenty five, right,
one twenty six, that's not great, Bob, not great. Uh So,
get ready, everybody back in on arch Manning after the bar.
I always told you Arge is gonna be good.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I told that George is six and a half point favorites.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Coming up next, we take a look at the two
of the biggest games of the week in the NFL.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
