Hour 1 - Micah Parsons On Offense?!

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
That's right, Martin Wise and VJ Husky filling in for
Jason Smith and his best friend Mike Harmon, broadcasting live
from the ti iraq dot com studios ti iraq dot com.
Well up, you get there with the unmax election fast
free shipping, freeridize of protection over ten thousand recommended to
his dollars tire iraq dot com.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
It's the way that tire buying should be. And I'll
tell you this.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Uh, normally we are sitting here are on Saturday nights
about this time, VJ and I eight to eleven Eastern,
filling for Jason Smith.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
And Mike Harmon.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
But normally VJ goes by Big Vanilla Funny as one
of his many many monikers. The the Big Vanilla Funny,
not the moniker, the Big Vanilla Funny.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
The whole thing, like trop call quest, gotta say the
whole thing.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
All right.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, I'm adding a new moniker to VJ, and that
is uh.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
It's coach Husky.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Koch Uski's Coach Husky.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Because I sat there in the break room as I
was waiting for my drink to cool off in the
freezer and I heard him breaking down the defenses that
he was gonna run. Which kids he's trying to block
from the head coach from the other team to make
sure they have the high school transfer portal all in action.
VJ Husky coach Husky, I should say, is ready for
football season?

Speaker 5 (01:20):
Husky prime baby, Yes, I am. Thanks for that, man,
I appreciate it. Yes, it's football season. It's officially official.
I said it back. I think what July fifth, once
we got about right, yeh, track, once we got through NBA,
because I feel once we get.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Through NBA free agency, right, what are we what are
we talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:35):
The Olympics were great, So the Olympics gave us so
much to talk about, right, but what are we doing
after u NBA free agency? We're waiting for training camp.
We're waiting for training camp to start. And now once
that gets going, we have the Hall of Fame game, right,
and then okay, that's over, and then we're waiting for
the following weekend for preseason. But you know, on preseason

(01:55):
just kind of it is what it is. You're not
gonna see a lot of starters, if any, right, guys
going to be selling the shorts, working at the local
gym or back at local high school somewhere, college somewhere, coaching.
Not the knock them though, that's the facts. That's what happens.
Then the second week you.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
See a few more starters.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
But for me recently, as of yesterday, I got a
chance to coach my very first high school UH scrimmage yesterday,
And to me, it was as we're sitting there national anthem,
they got the grill going at the concession stand. You
see the smoke bellowing up from the concessions stand area.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
You smell the burgers and Friday night lights.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Baby, thank you.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
I look down at our secondary coach, you're standing next
to me, and I said, okay, it's football season, like
this is football season.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
So a little Sirianni pre Super Bowl for you, little
tear in your eyes. I was.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
I was almost emotional yesterday because I love the kids.
When you I forgot I'm forty six. I forgot what
it was like, honestly to be fifteen and be in
their shoes. I have I forgot what it's like, you know,
to try to learn a sport that a lot of
kids really want to play, and a lot of kids
haven't played before and nowadays Martin with flag football and

(03:02):
with moms, honestly, moms in America stepping in and not
letting little Jimmy and little Brian go at it at
six and seven and eight years old because of concussions
and CTE. And there was a movie.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Concussion by Will Smith.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
Right, There's been so many things put out there that
have told the American mom, hey, we're backing down having
our kids, you know, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Play contact football.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
Flag football is in LA in twenty twenty eight for
the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Like think about it. Flag football has now made it
to the Olympics.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Before full contact American football made it to the Olympics.
So you're dealing with a lot of kids that haven't
played a lot of football. And it's about teaching. And
I've never been in this position. I've trained kids before,
but I've never been in this position where you're looking
at forty one. I told Ian, our great other producer
here and editor, I have forty six new sons and

(03:52):
that's how I see these young men.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
So yeah, thank you for that.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
Man.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
It's football season, and yes, coach, and it's weird because
when they call me coach Husky.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I don't know. I don't know what they're talking to me.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
There was a coach that said, coach, he's talking, that's
what he said.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Coach hus guests, Oh yeah, that's me. That's me VJ J.

Speaker 7 (04:10):
I'm trying so like I'm I'm doing the whole because
I you know, I did high school football myself. Like
so as a coach, like, do you got the shades
on that? Are you one of the ones like the
big cowboy hackers I had. I always had one coach
like the old young is Like it's always like, oh
here comes it's coach and he's coming by my boy
head coach cowboy.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yes, dude, go on my Instagram. I am sleeveless because
the sun has been out. Son's out out, So I'm.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Trying to get get a little extra tan for the summers.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Over.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
I am sleeveless ball cap deon the deon type glasses. Okay,
but yeah, but I roll, I roll my my joggers
up like Mike McDaniel.

Speaker 7 (04:49):
Yes, okay, we got the officials out. You got the
official Okay, that's that's all right. All I need is
the glasses and then you got the Mike McDaniel look
on the pants.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
I'm all right, so that's not a whistle. I'm a
whistle swinger on the fingers. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, when I'm not blowing it, I'm just you know,
like they just are.

Speaker 7 (05:08):
You the disciplinarian guy be like, all right, you don't
get it running gassers running two days.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
No, we have coaches for that. I'm a I'm a teacher.
I'm gonna teacher.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
I tell my kids, I'm not gonna be little you,
but I'm gonna coach the living hell out of I'm
gonna coach you hard, but I will never ever be
little you.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
And it trust me. It's it's working, man, It's it's fun.
It really is just rewarding.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Let's go. Yep, thank you, there you go.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
That's why I said coach Husky because I was seven
minutes straight of high school football.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Hey, it's best thing going, man, other than college and pro.
And it's Friday night lights, so it's valid right now.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
It is Friday, just to be clear, Yeah, it's Friday.
It's Friday right now.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
And there's teams playing now like some of the top
up upper echelon your modern days, your bosscos your Bishop
Gorman's they get they get going early. One of the
top sophomore running backs went off last night. Get the teams.
You're just blowing my mind. But no, there's teams that
are their schedules going. It's it's on now, it's lock.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, let's transition to the pros now, yeah, because uh,
you know, when the Cowboys had these offensive running the
running back position has been a hole right pretty much
since Zeke Elliott left. And I'm not saying got plugged
in with the replacement of Zeke Elliott right because that
didn't exactly help. Just you know, it's like the he
goes from Rocky to the Expendables in terms of Sebesto

(06:28):
Saloon being able to carry a movie. It's nd of
the same story as Ezekiel Elliott and the cow and
the Cowboys in the Dallas Cowboys backfield in what twenty
seventeen to where he is now. But Michael Parsons took
some snaps at running back and as a result, now
he says that.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Whereas I got it right here, he says.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Maybe when I'm thirty and I'm on the way out
of here, I'm gonna say I'm either playing offense or
I'm retiring Jerry. I'm at the end of the road.
I'm either living my dream or I'm not. So when
I'm thirty, I'm might get finally get my carry, or
i might play tight end like big wit Jason Witten.
I can block too, I can do it all. I'll
finally get my offensive dreams when I'm on Maya, out

(07:10):
of here. And I just don't know if anybody has
told Michael Parsons about the plight of the running back,
but after thirty at running back, they have no interest
in you, especially if you spent the first seven years
of your career playing edge.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yeah, what are we doing here? What are we doing
with Michael Parsons? What are we doing here? I think
I think what Micah's doing is he's trying to get paid.
He's trying to tell Jerry, because Jerry's made it very
known he's not in the rush to do any of this.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Martin.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
I talked it with Martin and VJ.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
I believe either take care of Dak or you take
care of Micah before CD. I just think that's the
way that pecking order should go. That's what I said
before when it was all about Zeke's deal and Martin
and Dak Those are the three guys before, right, and
they took care of Zeke first, and now you see
where they are. If you do that again with another
skill position receiver, you're gonna be in the same place again.

(07:58):
So I think Micah Mike good. He's got a great personality.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Man.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
You can tell he'll be doing something really great with
his life after football. It'll probably be some type of
television or radio. But trying to play offense and defense, like,
come on, man, don't we don't do that in the pros.
It's too fragile, guys can get hurt. It's just too
much money. The money is too astronomical Martin to even
try to do this. That's why I said what are

(08:22):
we doing? Because there is no way. I'll ask you,
do you think Michael Parson's gonna ever see the offensive
side of the football for the Dallas Cowboys?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Or no?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
No, I don't, But I do think that this is
we're getting to a point with Michael Parsons and some
of his comments where like, it's all of this works
really well if you're winning, right where you have the guy?
I mean to me, this is a joke. He's joking, right,
Maybe it's a joke with half truth. It reminds me
a lot of anthe Tos say. It feels a little bit.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Look, it reminds me. To me, it reminds me.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Of Anthony Edwards where he'll come out and saying like
I'm the number one optional team USA and they'll say
it with the winking of But you know, like for
for him to even say it, it crossed his mind, right,
do you know? Like, yeah, but that's why I said,
like Michael Partsons to me and is saying this with
the wink and a smile. But you know, if he
said it at all, it definitely crossed his mind as

(09:14):
something that was like, as a matter of fact, hell yeah,
he's probably he probably is the same when he was
the same age as some of the kids you coached.
Was like, yeah, man, you remember what I ran for
two hundred and forty yards in a game against Bishop
you know Sullivan or whoever like on the West Side. Yeah,
Like that's what he's probably thinking and remembering right now

(09:35):
in this moment.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
It's saying this whimsically. But the Cowboys right now are
in this.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Very interesting and precarious predicament with these three guys and
Micah has the longest till his contract comes to term,
but he's still eligible for extension, right, CD obviously saying
boat Dak will be a free agent at the end
of this year if he doesn't get a new contract,
as we all painstaking know from all summer of the

(10:01):
same conversation, like, this is a season for the Cowboys
in which it is a prove it, Like it's the
ultimate put up or shut up, prove it or don't
for the for the if the players want to remain Cowboys,
which I'm not saying that is the ultimate goal for
some of these playoffs.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
So for those three guys that CD, Micah.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Otherwise they be paid by now. Otherwise they be paid.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Like I think it's evident when you look at it
that in the regular their regular season success, when you
compare the regular season success of some of the other
players who have been highly paid and comparable at their position,
dictates that they would be paid by now. They would
have gotten paid by now their regular season. It's in
Dallas right now. It's about what happens in the postseason.

(10:46):
And I think you're in a position where Jerry Jones says, look,
I'm not cutting this check unless I see some success
in the postseason. I see what twelve wins gets me,
and it's not worth spending the highest paid quarterback, highest
pai wide receiver at highest.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Paid defense event in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
I feel all that, But what's the ultimate goal in
the NFL?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Markin is to win? To win?

Speaker 5 (11:07):
What though? To win the super Bowl? Okay, all right,
so they can get to the postseason. Check they got
one playoff win two years ago, I believe it was.
They got to playoff win two years and two seasons ago.
Last year they got trounced at home. But two years ago, okay,
so they got a playoff with our check. If you're
telling me that his mindset Jerry Jones, because he's playing
a very dangerous game of chicken right now. But if
you're telling me his mindset is, you know, I gotta

(11:30):
they gotta win.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
A super Bowl to get paid.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
If you pay the guys, and they get to a
divisional game, right which they haven't done, or they get
to a conference championship game, you're you're talking about maybe
playing a game of chicken and saying you gotta win
two more games because they're not going to the super
Bowl and they're not gonna win the super Bowl because
they don't have a super Bowl team.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
I don't think super Bowl is the limit, though, I
think they have to if they go out. If they
had the same offs the same postseason that the Green
Bay Packers had, It's like if they had gone if
it had been flipped right and the Cowboys ran, well
the Cowboys, but remember how that game went right, So
it matters how the game went like that. That matters

(12:12):
in this grand calculus in my opinion, when you're looking
at this, And that's the whole reason why I'm making
these point about these quotes is these quotes would hit
so much differently if they were a team on the upswing,
like the Packers are a team that you would consider
on the upswing, after the way that they went to
Dallas and trounced them on the ground, running right through
them and then pushing the eventual NFC champions to the
brink up double digits, right, pushing them to the brink

(12:34):
up double dits.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
If they had.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Gone out and done the same thing, like if they
had gone and ran through Green Bay and then pushed
San Francisco to the brink, I think that I think
that we'd be looking at an entirely different scenario. I
think we'd be looking at differently paid guy.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
And honestly, I think.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
Dallas they loves contractor as well. See but see, Dallas
is just different. I get what you're saying, and I'll
slightly agree with it, But Dallas is just it's just
different because if they got to the divisional round, no
one's gonna just lay off of them. Because they got
to the divisional round, right they Dallas is a team.
That's why I ask, hey, super Bowl, you know me, Martin,
you gotta pay your guys. You can't play around with this.

(13:13):
It costs you more later, pay who you need to
pay now. And then look, only one team wins it
and they're all chasing Big Red and number fifteen in narrowhead.
Every all thirty one teams are chasing that coach in
that quarter.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
We say it costs you more later.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
That's with the expectation that you eventually are gonna pay
the bill, right like, if it doesn't cost you anymore later,
if you don't eventually end up paying like, I agree,
the smartest move would have been to sign all these
guys up a year to two years ago, depending that
last year, depending on when they're available to be extended.
That's the smart and pragmatic move. But if you have

(13:52):
the feeling that you're never going to pay the bill,
you're never going to pay the bill, you might as
well do whatever the hell you want.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
So then Jerry could be thinking, and I'm just asking,
he could be thinking, hey, look, it's been a great run.
We're gonna have to rebuild this thing at some point.
I much rather have more money than to rebuild than
pay these guys now and then still have to rebuild
three four years down the line. Which is fine because
Jerry Jones had a Doubt team four straight years they

(14:21):
went four and twelve, like he's had those runs in
the early two thousands, so he knows what it feels
like to be down and then get some money and
get back into the game. I just I just think
you're playing a dangerous game of chicken here, man. You
gotta start to pay one of these guys.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
I'll tell you why.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I think that Jerry Jones feels comfortable in that game
of chicken coming up next, And also a quarterback competition
that feels like it's just what.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Are we doing here? Why is this even a conversation
at all. We'll get to that.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Coming up next, Martin Wis's Vija Husky and for Jason
Smith and Mike Harmon on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Coach Husky to you, all of.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
You jerks, uh filling in right now from Jason. You
gotta we gotta get a whistle, Alex like like you know,
like I almost brought my whistle in, but I thought
that would have been too much.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
We did a whistle, and see that's what I'm talking about.
If I did that, I thought you guys would about, Oh,
he's trying to show everybody's coach. And I I purposely
took it off and left it in the car because
I looked and I was like, oh, no, I am
not about to walk in here.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
And I got to hear some no, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Taking my whistle whistle in here. I'd be furious. There
you go. We could probably turn that down a lot.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
I will say, this's just real fast. I had to
buy another whistle because the one I ordered from Amazon.
I went to blow it and the kids laughed at
me and the other coaches.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
He go like, husky kind. I say, I don't know, man.

Speaker 5 (16:43):
I tried it again and not yet it did not
sound like a real whistle. When I left practice that night,
I went right the target and I bought a brand
new whistle. I'm like, they're not gonna climb me over
my whistle out here again. They'll never take me. Serious man,
shout out to Birmingham. So I gotta let my guys
know I love them.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
We have seen varying approaches to the preseason based off
some of these rookie quarterbacks and their exposure to the NFL.
One Drake may got what a handful of snaps in
Game one, then quadrupled his snaps in Game two, playing
a lot of the second and third quarters, six for

(17:43):
eleven passes forty seven yards. Not exactly gonna place him
in Canton day one.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
But also, hey man, and they may can't dame one baby.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well I'm just being sarcashic, know, but Gerard Mayo says
that basically on Drake May when he's ready, and if
he's better than Jacoby Brissett, he'll start, which to me
just led the question why why why is that the

(18:17):
actual the position of the New England Patriots right now?
Because did you if you think that Jacoby Brissett or
I should say like this, if you think that Drake
May is not better than Jacoby Brissett, why would you draft.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Him with the third overall pick in the NFL draft?

Speaker 2 (18:35):
You would hope that you're gonna get if you're gonna
draft a quarterback, Like I'll put it like this, is
c J.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Stroud better than Jacoby Brissett right now?

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yes, not close?

Speaker 7 (18:45):
C J.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Strous Las years number two pick? You think like I'm
just saying close, Like it's not like I get what
you like.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
We're not like if your quarterback as you drafted number
three is not right now better than Jacoby Brissett, then
he probably should have been a fifth round pick.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
No, no, no, this is this goes to you don't
think so think about Trey Lance.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Jacoby said better than Trey Lance probably, so like you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
No, they might they might be, they might be. I
don't think Jacobe prisent is good. Okay, I don't think
you're matching up against you're matching up against number two,
number three picks.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
I got you.

Speaker 5 (19:27):
But we we talked about this Martin about quarterbacks before.
What's happened in the NFL is every year when you're
really bad and you don't have a quarterback, you are
almost kind of forced to take one. If you have
a high draft pick. You can't afford to miss that
year because Drake may could be the guy.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Jaden Daniels could be. It could be the guy.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Uh JJ's out now for the year.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Boat Knicks could be the guy.

Speaker 5 (19:54):
Caleb Really, Caleb Williams could be the guy like you.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
You can't.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
You're almost forced to take a quarterback because you need one,
and we know if you don't have one, you have
zero shot. But remember check this. They took two quarterbacks
this year because Joe Milton is on this roster. Former
Michigan Wolverine finished his career at Tennessee behind ending unker, So.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
They had to. They had to.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
You got me watching the Giants off season hard knocks, right,
did they not toy and think about trying to.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Move up to do? What draft a quarterback?

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Even though they have Danny Dimes at least for one
more year, and there's gonna be a slow quarterbacks next year.
But when we're they're thinking about doing this season, was
moving up from six to possibly go get a quarterback.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
They had a real long meeting about it. Now, I'll
tell you this, I agree with you in premise, but
in practice. The reason why I should say this, the
number one reason that flies in the stand of your logic,
is also the same reason why Jerry Jones probably feels
a little bit comfortably foolishly so, mind you, but feels
comfortably with where he's at. You look at the last

(21:07):
two franchise quarterbacks that he drafted. One of them, Tony Romo,
was undrafted. Dak Prescott was a fourth round pick in
a year that they weren't, you know, and those two
guys like Dak is betting.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
How you look at it, a top.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
You know, in between five and fifteen best quarterback in
the NFL, I mean top five quarterback.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
I got top ten, but I forget I.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Got depending on where you were where you are in
your rankings.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
But also you look at this conference, top what three
quarterback in the conference in the NFC, just real quick,
real quick. Yeah yeah, top three quarterbacks at worst, at
absolute worse, you got the top five.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, oh, absolute worse, you got the top five. If
you hate it, yeah, yeah, you're hating that.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Jerry Jones has found two franchise level quarterbacks, guys that
can consistently can show you they can consistently get you
into the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Now, will you have a playoff success?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Different story, but you can find guys that will consistently
get you into the playoffs deep rounds outside of the drafts.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
He's done it back to back years.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Last twenty years of Cowboys quarterbacks have been guys that
were not drafted on Day one or two of.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
The NFL draft. Non witch, I had him at six.
I pulled my list out at six, and you're right.
Back to back years. He's almost like a guaranteed forty
five hundred yard quarterback. Last year, thirty six to the
TV's only nine interceptions led the league a completion percentage
at sixty nine percent.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
He was almost like sixty nine point eight points.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
He was almost a seventy percent completion percentage QUARTERBA conversation
for MVP of the entire league for for a lot
of the season, for a lot of the seasons. So

how are you.

Speaker 9 (23:52):
Hello, gentlemen? Good to hear you know. NFL exhibition games today.
Most teams will play tomorrow, but this Sunday night on
Fox TV New Orleans at San Francisco. The two teams
did not hold a joint practice this week because the
forty nine ers were low on players. San Francisco going
to be hosting that one this weekend. Saints running back
Alvin Kamara is still out with back tightness. New Orleans

(24:15):
wide receiver Rashid Shaheed mispractice with a foot injury. A reminder,
NFL clubs have to reduce their rosters to fifty three
players by August twenty seventh, after the three preseason games,
and then the waiver claims by the next day. Raiders
wide receiver DeVante Adams did not practice today and he
would prefer to not play in the preseason. The Broncos

(24:36):
will start rookie quarterback Bo Knicks this Sunday against the Packers.
Those two teams held a joint practice today. The Bengals
gave kicker Evan McPherson a three year extension. It reportedly
includes ten million dollars in new money next year. Cincinnati
quarterback Joe Burrow won't play tomorrow, but he says he's
ready for Week one next month after last year's risk injury.
Week one, by the way, all orange uniforms for Cincinnati.

(24:58):
The Vikings signed quarterback Matt Corral and plays first round
QB JJ McCarthy on injured reserves, so he is officially
out for the year after this week's knee surgery. In
the WNBA, rookie Caitlin Clark with twenty nine points ten
assists in Indiana's win over Phoenix ninety eight to eighty nine.
Hideki Matsuyama is tied for the lead at the PGA's
playoffs in Memphis. Scottie Scheffler is two shots back. The

(25:21):
tour championship is at the end of this month. In Atlanta.
US women's soccer is back to number one In the
new FIFA World rankings, England is number two, Spain down
to number three France after the Olympics fell to number ten.
The US women are off until some exhibitions in late
October to Major League Baseball. Coming into tonight, the Yankees
and Orioles were tied for first in the AL East.

(25:43):
The Yankees won three to nothing at Detroit. Garrett Cole
got the win Aaron Judge at his forty fourth home run.
The lead for Boston at Baltimore is twelve to ten
over the Orioles. In the top of the ninth, the
Dodgers are trying to hold on to a seven to
six lead at sae Lewis. Bottom of the eighth. Dodger
bullpen is out there, so this game is not over people.

(26:04):
Dodger pitcher Tyler Glasnew is placed on the injured list
tonight elbow ten tonight It's The Dodgers started this evening
with a two game lead in the NL West over
Arizona and San Diego, who had each won nine of ten.
The Padres tonight are still losing at Colorado seven to
three and the sevens for the Rockies and Arizona loss
six game winning streak ended for the Diamondbacks. They gave

(26:26):
up a run bottom of the ninth at Tampa Bay
five to four. Rays, Mets won Kansas City and the
Cubs with wins Philadelphia with a run bottom of the
ninth at Washington three to two, and Pittsburgh's ten game
winning ten game losing streak is over because of a
win tonight five to three over Seattle, and the winning
pitcher was Paul Skins. The rookie is seven and two.
Milwaukee's ahead against Cleveland five to three in the bottom

(26:49):
of the eighth, and guys, the White Sox are still
winning at Houston four to three top of the eighth. Now,
I know, Alex Bragman, Houston's third basement is out at
least this weekend with a swollen elbow. But the Chicago
White Socks have a record of twenty nine and ninety three.
They're in the lead in the eighth at Houston.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Say that against Eve twenty nine.

Speaker 9 (27:08):
And ninety three this season, my God, could hit one
hundred losses by the end of the month before we
ever get to September. That's how bad the White Sox
season has been. And we do that in honor, of course,
of White Sox fan Michael Harmon, who is not here
the same thing back to you.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Good for him and Joece. Is he a White Sox fan?
I didn't know he's Harmon, the White Sox fan, like
his team is missing. Mike Harmon.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
H He'll be here all week, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 6 (27:41):
I do know.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
I think you can say this. Mike Harmon does what
is it? Probably triple times better the work on the
radio that the White Sox do on the baseball field. Yes, man,
Because I mean if Mike Harmon did radio as bad
as the White Sox played, he was doing it in
like Spanish or something like that. I don't know something
that you'd be like, oh, what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (28:01):
I got nothing. I don't get I don't get it.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
What do you mean it's one hundred games they're gonna lose?

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Like one hundred?

Speaker 9 (28:09):
How bad the Tigers were a few years ago?

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, last year, but the days, but days weren't this bad.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
Where to top that, they were pretty they were pretty
damn Mady' something. Losses by August was today, the fourteenth, sixteenth.
I just want to know that's crazy, and I feel
anybody can chime in.

Speaker 9 (28:28):
Here last one twelve, last year.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
This is this my top that.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Oh they're topping that. We're at ninety three right now?

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, oh, child's play, Steve.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
What do you think you could do and fail at
over one hundred times and still have the confidence that
you could go out and do it successfully.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
I'm not allowed to say that on the radio, but
you know what I.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Mean, I know itactly. For a while, that's like, are
we ever going to win again? I looked it up.

Speaker 9 (28:56):
Those Tigers is about twenty years ago. It was one
hundred ninety losses. Jason Smith Mets. The Expansion Mets of
nineteen sixty two lost one twenty. That's the worst major
league season.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
One twenty is the worst.

Speaker 9 (29:09):
Yeah, it was forty and one twenty.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Do you think they get there?

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Do they do? They even have time? Oh? Yeah they do.
One twenty is kind of high. Twenty seven losses.

Speaker 9 (29:18):
Now, if they win tonight, they only need ten more
wins to get to forty, so they tie the Expansion Mets.
That can be done.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
So all right, it can still be done. What do
you think, mark overunder over under what they get to
the one twenty?

Speaker 2 (29:32):
No, I don't think they get the ones okay that
I mean now I kind of want to see it
because this would they would happen. I kind of want
to see it now. They've had multiple losing streaks of
over seventeen games right this season. Why I believe one
because one was nineteen and then the other one was
the one that ended up setting the record. I believe

(29:53):
they had over you know, multiple of over seventeen games
in a row, and you play baseball games every damn day, how.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Do you even kill it?

Speaker 5 (30:01):
And I think I asked you this like maybe a
month ago, but honestly, as a pro, how do you
get up?

Speaker 3 (30:07):
And is it the money? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (30:09):
Okay, I was asking man. I mean sometimes even the
money got to make you be like, you know what
this hamstring and some people it's like the Mets. Nobody
thinks about the Mets this year. That's a huge payroll.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yeah, yeah, true, true?

Speaker 3 (30:22):
How did you get up the money?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
The same reason the guy the bricklayer outside the gets
up and goes to work even though his job sucks to.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
I was about to say, but he doesn't have a
record though it doesn't like the world.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
The world doesn't get to open up the internet over
your last seventeen bricks.

Speaker 8 (30:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
Nah, but a bricklayer can't mess up seventeen straight bricks
or messes up the whole foundation and building that you're doing.

Speaker 9 (30:45):
We've all seen NBA games. There are plenty of bricklayers
making it.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
What a my pistol, what my beloved pistons? Was it
twenty seven twenty eight? Last year in a row losses?
I think you overshot it. I think it was twenty three, Okay, I.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Thought of either way about to say that's yeah, it
was that even a quarter of the season that it
made me feel better.

Speaker 9 (31:04):
Mark, now this say is twenty eight, I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
That's what I thought.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
I thought it was twenty eight twenty and I know
it was. Yeah, it was almost thirty losses in a row.
We sat here and watched the game that they broke.
Remember we watched the game. It was going on a
lot here in the studio when they broke it, you know,
so I cheered, and that's when I made my bed
of the twelve, the twelve wins with you over run,
I said, we'll get.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Over DJ on this the grand procolation.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
I think that this NBA team is gonna have more
than twelve wins, but they just lost twenty in a row.

Speaker 9 (31:32):
And at that point he probably didn't say that about
the Sixers a decade ago around.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
I never rebuilding Sol, but man.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
The specifics in that game against Toronto at the end
of winning. It's hilarious because it's also the same day.
It was either the same day or the day after
they made the trade trading RJ, Barrett and Emanuel quickly
to the Raptors and giving up og And Andobi right, and.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
So they only had those guys.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
The guy they gotten back from the Knicks hadn't whatever
clear whatever they needed to clear physicals.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
I don't know whatever. We get across to Canada game.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
So you had like Grady Dick playing like thirty seven
and a half minutes because they had nobody coming off
the bench.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
And guess what, I have no idea who that is.
Oh well, I remember Grady Dick.

Speaker 9 (32:19):
From Hey, update, White Sox have scored again people, oh
five to three at Houston, going to the bottom of
the eighth.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Hey, the spirit of Harmon is strong. Hey, can you
guys tell it's Friday and there's no preseason football on
the spirit of Harmon is strong.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
Oh Man okay Man Mayo and the quarterback with the Patriots,
if you may, Yeah, it sounds like a who done it.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
In the bathroom with the candlestick.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Martin's gonna hate what I'm about to say.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Oh God, he is.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
You're gonna hate what I'm about this.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
He's about to convict you for that one.

Speaker 6 (32:53):
Martin.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
This is what happens when you hire a defensive minded
head coach and you do not have a quarterback in place, Because,
like you said, he comes out and says, when he's ready,
he'll start. Martin's rebuttal is, then why would you take him?

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Was a third? Third overall? Right?

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Why would you take him third overall? My rebuttal back
is because we have been kind of Brainwashington too. If
you don't have a quarterback and you're in the top
ten or top five, or top six or seven. Atlanta
paid a guy one hundred million dollars guaranteed in the
offseason by the name of one Kirk Cousins and then

(33:35):
gave us the first WTF moment of the draft. With
the number eight overall pick in the twenty twenty four
NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons take Michael Pennix quarterback Washington
and everybody went. But even they they have a quarterback
that's old. They're coming off the Achilles. But we have

(33:56):
been told that you gotta take these young guys.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
You can't go. You can't.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
It's better to miss than to not take one. You
know what I'm saying. It's almost like the gun rule, right,
You much rather have it and not need it than need.

Speaker 6 (34:10):
It and not have it.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
I normally use that line of thinking with insurance, but
I hate insurance. That's such a scam.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
But anyway, we'll talk about you Alex will agree with
me on that.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
We could talk about that. There is scam, but you'd
rather pay your deductible. Absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
But like Chris Rock said, if I don't get to
an accident for like fifteen years, should not get some
of my money back because I've been paying for it.
What have I've been paying for I've just been I've
just been paying it. But this is this is why
this is happening with the Patriots. How about four and thirteen?
Loading just go ahead and go ahead and pin them
in for I would say three and fourteen or four
and thirteen. They don't even know where their quarterback is
we're in the second week of preseason. Their quarterbacks to

(34:49):
Drake May, Bailey Zeppa at, Joe Milton third, and Jacobe Brissett.
I personally will start Drake May because you took him
number three overall.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
So I'm with you there.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
Sorry, Jacoby were saying, I much rather have the veteran
ready to go in if I need you then have
to go to the rookie because the veterans stunk. I
much rather have to go to the backup veteran that's
been on thirty seven teams and it's been in the
league for fourteen years. Okay, then to he crap, and
then you gotta go to the rookie. Obviously you didn't

(35:22):
trust the rookie. If you didn't start him, you draft
that high mark.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
You know my role.

Speaker 5 (35:25):
If I take a quarterback in the first round, Martin,
he starts. If I take a quarterback in the first round,
as an NFLGM, you'd be playing. He is going to
I don't care if it's twenty seven, twenty eight, one,
two or three. He is going to start. You do
not draft first round quarterbacks and put him on a
bitch unless you're the Atlanta Falcons, right It was.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
A ridiculous movie.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Agree May Packers at the Atlanta Falcons made in about
two hours. But coming up next. Sometimes the games of
sports in the games of Hollywood combine into that coming

told you I'll be out there with my Prime classes

Mike McDaniel.

Speaker 3 (36:35):

Is that too corny?

Speaker 5 (36:40):
If it's t too corny, tell me and I won't
do it. Prime Husky, Husky Prom Prime Husky, prom Husky.

Speaker 7 (36:46):
I like I like Prime Husky personally, I like that
it's like, uh, Transformers like so I can hashtag probably
when I put my.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Videos, and that might be why you don't like it though,
because you do Husky Husky. It just said. It made
it sound like you were an Autoba from Trains and.

Speaker 5 (37:04):
I love the auto box Transformers, I love Transparent, I
love the autobox.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
Dude.

Speaker 7 (37:09):
Oh yo, you're like you call me, call me husky
broan like him Autobots roller.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
Let's go prime. Husky also sounds like something that is
sold at a steakhouse.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
I was gonna say the same thing.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
Oh it sounds like a steakhouse, dude, sounds like yeah,
Prime VG bear trademark that okay.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
I wanted to run it by you guys. I wanted
to run it by my.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
Radio fam, hashtagging it and stuff.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
So you know, I got the glac One of my
players asked me the other day, Hey, coach, let's go
the those the Prime glass.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
I said, bro, I'm not paying for those glasses.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
These were twelve ninety nine and Burlins, but they you
thought they were though you thought they were okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
All right, I just asked him ahead.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Speaking of coaches, Nick Cage is gonna play John Madden
in an upcoming bio pick your thoughts for j Nicholas Cage,
the One and the Only.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Oh hell no? What who?

Speaker 8 (37:54):
Man?

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Who cast? Did that? I don't He's like, well, first
of all, he's about ninety pounds. Is it gonna gain?
Are they gonna use AI? Are they gonna use AI?

Speaker 7 (38:05):
Builds up the weight like you know some the whale
with Brendan Fraser type thing and they put like a
like a body suit type stuff on anesthetics.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:15):
I don't know about this, bro, I don't know about this.
I don't like biopicks. I'm not a biopick fan. Malcolm
X and a LEI even to me left me a
little empty, Bro, I'm not I'm not a big biopick' mark.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
The question I've always had is it biopick or biopic?
I honestly I.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
Thought I always thought it was bioptic. But because you
have two degrees and I don't believe in the moon,
I kind of go with your vernacular you have. You
have a vast more vocabulary than I do, so and
a lot of times I'll hear you correct other people mispronunciation,
So you kind of get that pass for me.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Just now that's why I repeated it.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
So if I repeatd it wrong, like who cares?

Speaker 5 (38:58):
But when you think about like the Pac the Biggie
movie and uh Selena was great, that one was cool,
But other than that, I'm not big on this right here,
Nicholas Cage.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
I just I gotta see some video.

Speaker 5 (39:08):
I gotta see, like if it's gonna be AI, this
is they don't have the same body frame at all,
they don't have the same facial Now, you know, actors
can study, but I just think.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
This, I do think Nick Cage is he's made some
of the most see like there's you have to have
categories of of because movies and TV to me are
supposed to be entertaining, right, So sometimes you have movies
that are like, you know, the prestige dramas that are
like supposed to be like entertaining on their face. Then
you have some that are also entertaining that are not
like they're just entertaining because this is awesome. Like an

(39:43):
example that I can think of is the show BMF
on Stars. I know you don't watch it, No, No,
I've watched some of that. I know that I know,
I know, I know what that all is. Yes, sir, Well,
to me, that's meat. If you're watching that show expecting
it to be groundbreaking drama cinema, you're in the wrong.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
You're in the wrong place.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
But if you're watching to laugh at it, you're in
a great place. Nicholas Cage has made a lot of
those type of movies. We're all watch it and be like,
this movie is amazing, not because it's great, but because
it's amazing.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
Jim Carrey did that for me.

Speaker 7 (40:16):
He can.

Speaker 5 (40:16):
He made the movies Liar Liars. To this day, I
will still sit and laugh at it like I've never
seen it before. It is strictly because of him. Northern
character in the movie.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
He does that to me.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
Nicholas Cage, he lost me at about eight milimeter. I'll
just be honest with you, man, he lost me way
back then. I thought he was a cool I think
he's a cool actor. But to say he's gonna play
John Madden's that's tough.

Speaker 7 (40:41):
You know.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
Even the younger Madden was a little it was a
little you know, a little little porky, little you know,
a little chunky, like.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
I said, it Still what Nick Cage to me has
always been on the slimmer side of the thing, super
slimmer sided thing.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Man, his greatest work is Face Off with Johnson Wolta.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
And see that's part of the reason why this is
also I think it forms how you feel, and this
is actually fitting for this audience. So I know Jason
and Mike talk a lot about stuff that happened like
in the eighties and how like they still little fans
of it. Right when I was a kid, the first
one of the first two like rated r ish movies
that I saw were Face Off and Going in sixty seconds.

(41:14):
So Nick Cage could do no wrong to me, He's
one of the coolest du right because when I was
a kid, you know what I'm saying, the same way
that Ferris Bueller was like the coolest high schooler of
all time, and he still is. But you know what
I'm like, now there's people who like Ferris Fueler, Who's
that only the cool ever ever coming up?

Speaker 3 (41:32):
Never this league is trying to develop young stars. Why
is he getting in his own way?

Speaker 2 (41:37):
I'll get to that in just a moment. Martin White
VJ Husky and for a Jason Smith and my Carmen
