Speaker 2 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
You know it's it's funny we run the I Told
You So open when when we're gonna talk about Micah Parsons.
It's kind of funny. It's gota funny because let me
go back who said it's gonna end a month ago
that when Micah Parsons put that out on social media,
I no longer want to be here? Who said this
was gonna end in a trade? Who has two thumbs
(00:53):
and said it was gonna end in a trade? Oh, viscay.
Kind of fun we had that, We had that out
five hours.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's just been well, a living nightmare, knowing that I
will hear those words a million times. So the fact
that they show up and open my name missing from
part of that open, by the way, But all of
that to say the fact that Jerry did the pragmatic,
proper football thing. I never thought in a million years
we'd get there. It wasn't so much, Hey, Jerry gets
(01:22):
his way, Jerry. It's just Jerry actually sat back, went
through the looking glass and actually came out the other
side with the right move.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
No, I see, the right move is to signed by
a Parsons and keep the best defensive player in the NFL.
You're saying the best move now that that that it
was never gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
No, I I never thought it was the best for
football purposes. I always thought that it would just be
Jerry's not gonna let Mike Parsons leave.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay, so you think it was suc it was right
for him to trade the again, the best defensive player
in the NFL. They were gonna suck with him without
so but it doesn't matter what you do. If you're
going to trade the best defensive player, what does it matter.
My point was that it wasn't matter.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
All along was just Jerry Jones and the way he
has operated for thirty some odd years. Sign that was
never going to change. And it wasn't always good players
he signed.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It was every star, every Big Dallas Cowboy, homegrown star
he signed and gave money to. Yeah, he signed to
give money to.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
So in this case, if the numbers are to be believed,
Michah Parson's basically left out of spite.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Uh yeah again, if the numbers are what to be believed,
and if what Jerry Jones is gonna say is absolutely accurate,
because why wouldn't if Jerry Jones said that, Hey, this
money for Micah Parsons is less than we gave. What'd
you give him? What'd you offer?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You're talking Even if that difference is marginal, that it
that it becomes a fun thing. It's like for a
few dollars more we we wanted out and it came
to fruition that fast. Well, that means once again, Insider's
only no.

Show and subscribe on YouTube. Mike and I love putting
this content out for you every single day. Now, let's
go back because this was the biggest at why is
Micah Parsons no longer a Dallas cowboy? Let's go back
to the moment, the moment when look to go back
to moment. We told you stars in the NBA, the NFL,
(03:42):
when they want to get traded, they say it right.
Guys like Giannis, does he really want to get traded?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I got to look at my eyes. Now you gotta
say you want out. This is how star. We've said
this many times. This is how stars get traded. When
the star says he's had enough. If I say this
situation is no longer tenable, I get traded. If you
are Kevin Durant, if you are James Harden, this is
how big time stars get traded. And when Micah Parsons
went on social media and he said I no longer
(04:09):
want to be here, and he detailed what happened, what
was said to his agent, what was you know coming
back out? Jerry negotiated with me and and you know
he thought there was a deal as well. Wait a minute,
that might not be quote super legal in the NFL.
But when he said I no longer wanted to be here,
that's the same thing James Harden did. That's the same
thing Kevin Durant did. That's the same thing a lot
(04:31):
of stars do. And that's when you get traded. That's
when you know there is no way back. There's negotiation,
and then there's it's personal and I'm not coming back.
And for gen Z players who treat social media like
it is the end all be all of existence, when
you go on social media and say that that's a
really really big deal, that's the the twenty year ago
(04:55):
equivalent of having a press conference of saying I can't
be here anymore. I can't do it like being on
going on social media and saying I no longer want
to be here. That's the moment you knew that was
gonna happen. And that's when Jerry Jones had to say, Okay,
this is really my last guest chance to do this
to sign Micah Parsons. This is that moment, and instead,
what did he do? I'm just gonna inflame things along
(05:16):
the way. And I'm going to insult Micah Parson's agent.
I'm gonna go on a big television spew and and
and do a bunch of different shows and say, well,
the agent told us to stick it up our blank
and all the different things he wanted to say trying
to win the pr battle. When what he had to
do at that point that was, Okay, we now have
to make this happen, right, we have to make this happen.
(05:37):
That was the mistake when when Micah Parsons did that,
that was such a big deal and I think that
was really people looked at that and said, yeah, he's
saying something on social media. No, when you say that
on social media, that's the biggest thing. But that's a
whoe take me by surprise moment saying this is not
part of a negotiation. This is not I want more money.
I'm not respected. They need to show me money if
(05:59):
they if they want to value me as a player
I made maybe maybe, but I no longer want to
be here. That was the moment when I said this
is gonna end in a trade because Micah Parsons is
a different dude than all the other Cowboys stars. That
stayed quiet let Jerry Jones talk in the media got paid.
That was the moment I knew, And that's why I
said it's gonna end in a trade and for all
(06:21):
the experts always gonna get Paige got paid. A pack
not gonna happen because it was personal a month ago.
And all it's done is gotten worse in the last
three weeks.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I don't pretend to be an insider. I'll take the
l on it, and in the end, I've lost nothing. Again,
the Cowboys are a mid team one way or the other.
It just gave us a storyline for a month. We
did our gratitude. Yes, moment does he does he jump
ahead of Boy?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Does he jump ahead of Yeah? It's done? Maybe? Yeah,
we gave the award the other night.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah, like when he posted the thing on social media. Look,
I've seen a lot of people, no matter the age,
say a lot of dumb things is on social media
and then immediately be.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Like, Eh, maybe I shouldn't have had but it's out there.
What are you gonna do? How many times have we
seen guys post stuff and then delete it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
The Internet lives forever. It's not going anywhere, so you know,
I only gave it so much credence, but certainly we
recognized it's it was taking on a different life than
any of the past negotiations.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Even if you saw.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
The latest documentary effort, the as people call it, the
ass Kissing of Jerry Jones, uh and all whenever.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You look good in this uh special because I'm gonna
make a big trade that people aren't gonna like. So
I just want to make sure I can, you know,
just calm myself by getting on a Netflix and clicking
on and watching a squid game and then seeing that
I look good on this documentary. What was funny with.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
A lot of the press that he's done the last
couple weeks to tie that together is I really kept
waiting for him to say, don't forget to watch the documentary,
like he was gonna be sitting there with Billy Bush
or somebody instead of normal you know sports reporters like, hey,
you should watch it, don't forget. I was also land man,
I was really good. We're gonna try all we can
to get this contract done. Netflix hass backslash Cowboys. But
(08:07):
make sure you watch search it on your Roku and
just click on the Netflix button. It should just come
up right there.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I mean it should have been on the lower thirty,
should have been standing there wearing a sandwich board.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I don't know. Top ten in the United Kingdom. How
did I get on, Steven? How did I get on
this page? What is this department? CU? How did I
get on there? I don't understand. Come on in and
show me how I'll get to that, Stu, just like
Pitbull or mister Worldwide, that's what you are, Jerry. But
all of that to say it was taking on a
different tone in tenor, and then Jerry started getting salty
Jerry and showing a little different face in these these interviews.
(08:41):
And again you.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Believe what you want in the the timelines to continue them.
The dollars and cents of it all got to a
point where he made a deal today where for for
Jerry Jones if he'd come back over the top. So
we got to one eighty eight. We didn't quite get
to the two hundred million dollars. Should but you know what,
what was the price that would have kept him? Don't know,
(09:05):
but we know the thing and I think you and
I talked about this probably more than anybody else. Bogolta
being the the agent was the big X factor to
all of this, right, A guy who's held players out
deep into camps before, a guy who's had big moments,
the guy who got Deshaun Watson that giant guaranteed deal.
(09:25):
Don't think that doesn't play a little role in whatever
communications were going back and forth, like really, look what
I got for that guy.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Now you explain everybody that Mulagata is the agent because
because Jerry Jones never says his name, just the agent,
the agent. Agent. Yeah, in this agent, the agent. You know,
I watched an agent that was on the Netflix too.
That was a big I clicked on the thumbs up
and now that everything that says not an agent, so
it's all it comes up. It was a night agent.
That was the one where the guys the uh, the
(09:55):
the secret Service agent and he gets involved in this situation.
Yeah not because well because he works the night desk,
like when all the you know, and a phone call
comes in that is a woman in trouble, and of
course he has to investigate it like he's on the
lower because he did something that got him busted down
from Secret Service to you just watch the phones. And
(10:17):
then of course that he finds his way into this
big The book was really good. The ministrier is a
little bit different, but that was the whole thing was like,
I'm the guy, I'm all that there farmed me out
to past her. I made a mistake, and I just
answered the phones and a phone call comes in and
the and the woman says the right password that gets
her to the Secret Service. So he does the investigation,
and of course it's an inside job, and I'm not spoiling,
(10:39):
spoiling an agent for him. But then I saw that
it was an inside job, and at the end we
traded Maca. So that's that's how it went for it.
I do want to see Jerry Jones as a contestant
on password. Now, now did you say that? So let's
try to make that happen. But the last of it
just be I can only say one word if I
want you to get Maca Parsons. I want to say
linebacker that we traded got a couple of first round picks.
(11:00):
Form sender the packers like you should get Michael Parsons
off that what's gotta be one word?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You get nothing because by some people he's more defensive end.
He's not even aligned.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
With that's one word. I just say, uh, and that's
one word. You got nothing. You try to read your
mind more talk that I like. I like exposure in
the media. You gotta let me talk. Gotta have a
press conference to explain trades whenever that's really unpopular.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, brevity is the soul of wit in this regard,
but Mouligett as part of it. I would love to
see the second side, right because for Jerry Jones, like
we tried to do this, We try to do that,
like during this whole continuum, where where did we have
spots where they actually spoke to where maybe you got
to some uh general agreement, But then the devil in
(11:46):
the details is what toured apart some of it. And
Florio had this up Pro Football talking to something I
think we've alluded to it the last couple of weeks.
Is also when you're talking about paying him, with Jerry
also in the past talking about having the franchise tag
in his back pocket of hey, this is a three
year plan that we're looking at. Was you were gonna
(12:07):
end up fighting over what his number would be being
a defensive end versus being a linebacker as related to
a franchise tag and what the average value of the
top five at the position were, right, So were we
talking apples to oranges of here's Hendrickson, here's.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
What is Micah there? Or is he over here as
a lot like? Yeah? Right?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
So so I think that's where some of the the
devil being in the details is of I'm gonna make
you the highest paid, but then those deals get signed
and look.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
At getting any money. Look where you are. I'm so
I had to list you as a punter, I just
have to do.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
But the fact that they paid Jake Ferguson what they did,
if you're if you're a muga leta and Ferguson's a
fine player. Yeah, he's not a tight end by any stretch,
and he got top marketings on for for the tight
end position.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
So from Michaeh.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Parsons, you're you're looking around going, I can't get a
squeeze a few dollars more out of here. Now we'll wait,
we'll talk about it from the football perspective and a
bit uh you know, no, no disrespect to Kenny Clark
coming back and play.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You know, he's he's just a minor player in this
uh mine minor mane but but that's the that's the
whole the whole point is that this was at def con.
Deaf Con five is the worst one, right, this was
at DICK five or Dickcon one. Yeah, def Con one,
I think is whatever, the worst one. I gotta look
that up so I know, like we were at def
(13:36):
Con five on August first. Yeah, def Con one is
the worst, is the worst. Okay, we were at deaf
Con one on August first, So deaf Coon went all
the way down. Deaf Con five is basic peace and
everything is fine.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Def Con four, def Gon four, you go to Intel
watching your security measures heightened, depth Con three, force readiness
increased above normal levels.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Def Con two, near nuclear war. That was when the
computer started to get involved. Okay, Yeah, den Wars was
playing games and seeing the only way to win is
not to play. But like we were at deaf Con one,
that's the big thing, like like the big takeaways from
where We're gonna spend a lot of time on this
tonight throughout. But this was at def Con one on
August first, and either Jerry blew it didn't realize but
(14:19):
whatever reason, this was that bad a month ago, and
there was one chance to save it and it was
a month ago, and it just didn't It just got
worse from it. It's it's like when when two people
get in a fight. A couple gets in a fight
and you know, okay, well they're not going to date anymore,
that that's over. And then instead of hey, all right,
well after that fight, it's either we make up now
(14:41):
and because that was bad and we talk about it,
or this relationship's done, and instead it was just okay,
we just played out the next couple of weeks. I
got my stuff from your places, you got your stuff
from mine, and then it was done. We knew that's
where it went. I mean, this is where it was
always headed after that day, and Jerry Jones did nothing
to save it. But that it's I mean, the thing
that people have to understand is that when a star
(15:04):
goes to those extents and those lengths to say I
want out, like that's oh whoa. This is This is
not negotiation. This is not part of the back and forth.
This is not me blowing off steam. That's a serious series.
He borrowed from that playbook of k D and Harden,
and he played it great. He got out, he got
his money done, He did so much going on. He
(15:24):
was done.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
At that moment in assuaged if he got a giant topiary,
a lot of flowers in a ring, like if he
was on a bachelor, well if he full pulled, uh
a full Travis Kelcey, I watch, I watch, It's always
Sonny with the Danny DeVito as a golden Bachelor didn't
really end well for him, but it ended with what's
your name?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
From taxi? But uh uh yeah, with a rose and
glass of champagne. And that was actually the offer I
gave Tomacca and he didn't take it. So that's that's
that's what happened there. Good morning to you. So I
just number one, number one know that that was the moment, right,
that's why we call the show ahead of the Curve.
That was the moment that we knew that things are
(16:03):
that serious. And the cowboys either didn't think it was
that serious or refused to play it that serious, didn't
want to even acknowledge it was that serious. But that's
what it was, and that's how they blew it. This
is why Micah Parsons is now a member of the
Green Baker.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I gave you a chance to make him the highest
paid player, non quarterback.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I gave you a chance to keep him here forever
and you blew it. Coming up next, we have more
on this story. We're gonna hear from Jerry Jones, who
had a very hastily scheduled press conference following the trade today.
Plus let's revisit another conversation we had a couple of
days ago after what one MLB superstar did tonight, a
(16:44):
night we haven't seen in years, and you only get
a couple of times over the course of your lifetime.
That's next, right here, Jason and Mike, this is Fox

in the world. We have a lot of fun talking
about the stories behind the stories in the world of
sports and pop culture, stories that well, other shows don't
seem to have the time to discuss. And the fact
that we've been friends for the last twenty years and
still work together.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I mean that says something right, So.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Check us out. We like to get you involved too,

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, we got more on the Micah
Parsons trade to the Green Bay Packers. We told you
coming up in a couple of minutes. But first, it's
the Play the Day, brought to you by tire Rack.
For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
(18:26):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerack dot
Com is the way tire buying should be. Well, when
you hit not one, not two, not three, but four
home runs, you get to be the tire rack play
of the day. Swam On hit deep right field head.
There's history for Swarmer.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
It's his fourth home run of the night as Kyle
Schwarmer becomes the first Philly since Michael jack Smith to
hit four homers in a game.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So there was Philly TV on the call. Four home
runs for Kyle Schwarber tonight. He now has forty nine
nine RBI give him one hundred and nineteen. Now, all
of a sudden, he's just jumped up a decade and
the Phillies he clearly showing that the Mets are really
their kryptonite. They beat the Braves nineteen to four. Something
(19:22):
going on in that stadium. Oh man, I'll tend straight
losses in city field. Nineteen to four. They win. And
now you know, let's revisit the conversation that we had
earlier this week when it comes to nl MVP, because
we told you earlier this week, look yes, Shojo Tani
is having a fantastic year one hundred and fifty percent.
(19:43):
But the MVP is not player of the year. It's
not the player with the best stats. It's who has
shown that I am the most valuable player to my team.
And Otani fifty to fifty last year, phenomenal season, absolute
one hundred percent. It wasn't even close this year. What
we said a few days ago, I'll double down on. Now,
(20:05):
Kyle Schwarber is your National League MVP, and I don't
believe it's particularly close. Now Vegas may disagree, but you're
talking about someone now forty five on runs. Yes, now
four more than show Heyo Tani. But bottom line, now,
Kyle Schwarber's got one hundred and nineteen RBI right like
that Dwarfs show. Hey, Otani, I mean like you're talking
about a guy that's hitting second in the batting order
(20:26):
and he's got one hundred and nineteen RBI, Like that's
a that's a real You're all of a sudden, he
now leads Pete Alonzo by eleven and I don't know
that Alonzo can catch him, Like I don't know if
that can happen. And Otani is sitting around at eighty five.
This is no longer I got you by fifteen. I
guess by twelve. He's got Otani by thirty RBI. And
you can look at all the different stats you want
(20:47):
to and talk about war and different things, and I
understand that, but certain things when you're a slugger and
you are the guy carrying your team this year, because look,
Bryce Harper is still a fantastic player, right, still a
top five, top seven player in Major League Baseball. The Dodgers,
they have a lot of good players on their team.
Otani clearly is the best. But this year, Schwarber's got
(21:08):
the Phillies at the top of the NL East, with
more responsibility the Phillies. He's more responsible for the Phillies
being in first place than Otani is for the Dodgers
being in first place in the NL West this year.
You can't just blanketly give it to Otani ever year,
because again it's not Player of the Year. It is MVP. Yes,
Otani fine pitched last night, had a five inning like
(21:30):
that was great, That was great. But I mean, you know, look,
the biggest number for you know, hum runs is a
great number. It's a huge number, the biggest number for sluggers.
RBI is kind of the most important number. No matter
what you want to look at as far as war
and and ops, RBI is still the most important one.
And it contwarm has one hundred and nineteen again coming
(21:50):
off and again talk about value. Coming off a day
in which the Phillies were swept and complained about microphones
and the Mets standing too close to there to the
plate when they should be on the on deck circle,
and things were falling apart from the Phillies and they
got to win an absolute laugher. And now Schwarz Gotani
by thirty.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I'm going to take a play from from your playbook
from all those years ago dealing with Patriots stuff. It's like,
I don't know if it's not happening in other stadiums.
Don't I have to ask questions about what's going on
in that building? So if the Phillies are that inept
in City Field, it was ten straight getting parabolic microphone.
(22:29):
It's a microphone, but is that it? Yeah, it's a microphone.
Come on, we had the microphone out there. The Mets
are standing a little too close to the plate and
on deck circle, all these things. That's how the Mets
catch you. I'm just that's how they got you. I
have to ask questions.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
That's how they get you.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Book, if we could have full on investigations and and
have it litigated for multiple years over a half a
pound ps I in a football, we can do this here.
Because this guy comes right back out and he tossed
out the whooping stick again.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's how it goes, man, That's how it goes. What
do you want? What do you What do you want
from me? So you're saying you want.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
To say ten games, we can't do things at City Field.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Teams have ten game losing streaks in other people's parks.
It just so happens to be that this is the
fust place team that's lost like your team. Yeah, okay,
So do you want to have the Kyle Schwarber conversation
or do you want to say you think the Mets
a cheating? Which which one I would have fun with? Which?
Which one do you want? We lost to the Marlins
tonight seven to four. If we were cheating, we would
have beaten the Marlins tonight, But no, we couldn't, So
you clearly know that's out. Or we got to find
(23:26):
something else besides the microphone.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Well, I mean maybe it doesn't work. I mean it's
not one size fits all. I mean certainly, you know,
you got to adapt to your different opponent and mark
as it were. As for the Schwarber conversation, I like
the cut of your Jim. I like the argument you make,
the fact that there's been really not a whole lot
of movement. We'll talk to Todd Ferman coming up in
about two hours from now to go deeper into this.
(23:49):
But as we talked about it two days ago, Schwarber
was still sixteen to one. So not only is the
public not backing it, that means the sharps aren't jumping
in at sixteen to one either, which.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Is gonna be funny enough.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
But that's what I mean, that's the curiosity, right because
if it was something that was really swaying, and this
is where we have to go find all the people
that will vote for MVP and start pulling them, which
I'm guessing some of the odds makers there in those
sportsbooks have you know, access guys. So what's what's the
wind prevailing wins? What's it saying the sharps I think
(24:24):
would be putting money into this, would they not? I
mean just I think the argument of what Schwarber is yeah,
makes perfect sense. But wouldn't people be trying to load
up at sixteen to one? Are we to have a
movement of odds?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah? Maybe they are. Now I want to see what
the odds are going to be after tonight, one of
the odds for Schwarmer's MVP.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
How much did we get tonight? I don't, I don't know.
I think this is a thing that should have been moving.
Move a little bit again, it's still going from a
really long shot, Joe, I would say it's probably still
what twelve to one.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I told you to get in. I told you, I say, hey,
that that pretty good odds to get in on a
few days ago. But where's where's the loss? Better? Now?
It's even better? Now? You're just mad at me. I
could tell you're mad at me. You're mad at me.
You've been mad for the last half hour that Micaeh
Parsons got traded. You've been mad for the last half
hour that Micah Parsons got traded. Yes, I could tell.
(25:18):
I know you for ten years, eleven years. Now, I
could tell you're mad that Michael Parson's Yes you are.
He does go to the Packers. Oh yeah, that's over
under in that whole half a game. That's tough. That's yeah.
Those are three teams that really hate the Cowboys too.
There's three other teams going. Man, we're we're supposed to
have great seasons, maybe super Bowl, maybe playoffs. You know,
(25:43):
traded because it ends the story. Yeah, yeah, well you
knew it was good thickets the Cowboys. We just could
have dragged on for another but they got left. When
George Pickens starts acting like a knucklehead.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah, no, Picktts is not gonna be enough to move
the needle for us.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
We got nothing. Ye think, I think that it's dead. No,
the fact that Jerry made the right football play in
his I think the fact that Jerry Jones we're gonna
hear him in a couple of seconds. The fact that
Jerry Jones put Dak on blast after it was over
by saying, we already gave more money than we ever
have to Dak Prescott last year. Dak like suddenly it's
(26:22):
Dak's fault that Micah Parson's got traded like something that, No,
do you have as much money for him? That Jerry.
Now he's in CD. He's just gonna he's just gonna
change his focus now from I gotta change this story
from Micah Parsons being traded too. I'm changing it over
now to oh, Dak is the guy, don't worry about
(26:42):
my Dak's the guy. So if you're mad at anybody,
be mad at Dak because Dak's the guy on the
field that will not come through for the Cowboys and
something that's we gave him more money. That's the guy
to be mad at. I'm the guy that traded micahp
You can be mad at me, but if Dak doesn't
play well, you can be mad at him. Okay, that's
what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Is this the the HASLM strategy always missteps and missdealings
and problems and misfirings on contracts to when it became
the shdoor. Sanders question that guy he led a, he
wanted him. It's all his drafting. So yeah, I mean
maybe he's taking the same page.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Let's listen. We got the sound. But here's Jerry Jones
today again talking about the Micah Parsons trade and basically saying, hey, uh,
don't forget I gave all that money to Dak.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
This gives us a better chance to be a better
team than we have been the last few several years.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Since Michael's been here.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Not any negative on Micah, but we're trying to get better.
We're trying to stop the run and stay on the hunt.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Uh yeah, so uh you know, more money than we
ever gave to anybody who's ever been here. And are
you looking over at Dak now now it's Daxlall. Dak's like, well,
I get side swiped enough. Don't your side swipe to me?
During this whole thing with Michael Parsons. Come on, man,
what's happening here?
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I mean, look, you get it to do with defensive pose?
What are we always talking about? You get a rat corner?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
What's he gonna do? He's gonna come out fighting alright here?
It is more on him talking about Dak.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
But we have the highest paid player in the NFL,
a quarterback, and we made that commitment last year and
we're proud we made it and had everything to do
with this decision. Everything it is give us every opportunity
with Dak, Prescott and Lamb and the base that we've
got to win not Lamb.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I like that Lamba. And I'm putting CD on there too,
becuse I gave him a lot of money last year too.
You're getting that well.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Because remember CD got side swipe because cheer and more
for him to get paid. Yeah, Micah, Yeah, the decibel
was higher. Who so he just grabbed him all up
in there. But it's it's like I argued with Joe
Shane last year. I don't think what he did was wrong.
I think you just get get yourself caught up in
a microphone and you say stupid things.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
That's that's Jerry rises. That's that's how Jerry doesn't.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Man's how Shane did it with the Saquon Barkley infamous
tell phone call. And that's what we got with with Jerry,
where I was like, who haven't I side swiped that
we gave money to. I mean the Ferguson kid got paid.
He took no incoming.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Exit out Valda Fresca exit Swallen Dome. Jason Smith Mike
Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios time out
to find out what's trending in the wide world of
sports from someone who's been called the Micah Parsons of
Fox Sports Radio. She doesn't like something, she'll tell you
on social media. It's Monty Belango's and I'm out, I'm out,
all right? Take note? Take note.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
That's right, Michael Parson's highest patonn quarterback in NFL history.
On the move, no longer a cowboy, but a packer,
signing a four year, one hundred and eighty eight million
dollar extension. You guys are gonna talk about it all night.
We'll keep playing Jerry Jones for you listeners, so don't
you worry. But in other kind of NFL news, we
do have a college football game right at Arrowhead Stadium.
(29:55):
It's Nebraska and Cincinnati. Nebraska is up twenty to three,
coming down into half time right now. But this is
trending because.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Who's at this game on so oh, thank you for
this game?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Is he standing next to Jerry Jones.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
No, but he probably wants to be in the suite
that contains Taylor Swift, Travis Kelcey, Patrick Mahomes, and Brittany Mahomes.
So they're at this game, and I feel like Nebraska
has already just taken full advantage of posting videos of
them at this game.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You know you gotta you gotta give the people what
they want. And it's Taite and Travis Kelsey. You need,
you need the picture and picture experience for this game,
well for the NFL, no, but for for opening opening
week Nebraska Cincinnati. Yeah, you need, you need this small
screen and the game can be on Mac.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
There's like a clip of Taylor Swift walking by herself,
like you know, into probably going towards the suite, and
there's a girl behind her walking and it's the clip
is so short and it's Britney Mahomes, but nobody knows.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
It's all like, oh, this is Taylor Swift, says.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
Brittany Mahomes is literally walking right by her. So they're
at that game. South Florida did crush number twenty five
Boise State already thirty four to seven. When it comes
to baseball, yeah, you guys are talking about Kyle Schwarber.
Four home runs today, nine RBI, so he is at
a career high forty nine home runs, one hundred and
nineteen rbi. Pht least crushed the Braves nineteen to four,
(31:15):
Marlins outscored the Mets seven to four, Yankees beat the
White Sox ten to four, and the Giants earlier today
edged the Cubs four to three. And in college hoops, guys,
in casey minister, Rick Barnes has signed a lifetime contract
with Tennessee, committing to be their coach for the rest
of his career.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Back to you, guys, thank you very much, Mona until
they fire him. Until yes, listen, we gave you a
lifetime contract. So what's going on today? We're declaring you dead?
That's it. I mean, what's a buyout? Out a deal?
We're tired of this direction doesn't matter. I like die.
This is like in the movies. I need that taken
care of. You know what I mean when I say
(31:53):
taken care of? Yeah? Taking care of yeah. Listen. So
congratulations on earning that lifetime.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Now, really just throw this out here because we've got
more and Jerry Jones coming up. But I am pretty sure,
I am pretty sure. I'm not one hundred percent, but
I'm pretty sure Ashton Genty was pretty important to Boise State.
Just so sure that was the thing. And now how
many college football peerists are happy because already Boise State
you can knock them out of getting We're gonna take
(32:19):
a bid from us a Boise State. They're in the
top twenty five already. Of course they're gonna go like
twelve and oh and they're gonna snatch a playoff bid
from us. They get worked tonight by South Florida thirty
four to seven. So you're welcome, all college football peers.
You will not have to worry about the blue field
and the Broncos snatching a wild card playoff spot from you.
(32:40):
You don't have to be upset Alabama or Tennessee or Michigan.
All the Boise State. The scourge of college football is
not going to take a bit away from.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
You unless they go into South Bend and take down
Notre Dame in the beginning.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Of hunt over. Oh, root for you, then they can
root for you. Yeah, then they can jump back into
the mix.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
But you're right, one day, you got a little bit
of breathing easier, because I mean, that's a lot of
the lamentation when we get early season matchups. In this case,
just the the trip down to the South Florida Bulls
taking him down in grand style thirty four to seven,
just an absolute beatdown. And you know, now, I guess
in the fourth quarter, you just run a bunch of
(33:20):
highlights of Ashton genty.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah, that's what happens, you know what I mean? Just
here here he was last year. Hey, here's what he
looked like in the preseason. This looked great. How great
is he gonna be at the next level?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
By the way, just to tie up the Schwarber thing
for a sec, twenty first player in Major league history
with a four home run game. He was thanked almost
instantly by Mike Cameron.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah, that was nice. It was and it's awesome Mike
Cameron jumping up and down. But I did that?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Remember me?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Remember me, Mark Whitten. I'm sure we'll thank you. It's
not just Kurts and this guy. No, no, no, But
coming up next, maybe the strongest, most shocking thing you
can say about Jerry Jones after the Micah Parsons trade
to the Packers. That straight head right here, Jason, Mike,

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
There's lots of things you can say about Jerry Jones, like,
obviously the biggest story, Micah Parsons traded from the Cowboys
to the Packers. He gets the highest non quarterback deal
in the history of the game, four years, one hundred
and eighty eight million dollars. The Cowboys get a couple
of first round picks. Now, something we talked about Jerry
Jones the other night is coming back to fruition today.
(35:15):
Has Jerry Jones always been the best GM? No, He's
been terrible. He has a lot of player situations in
which he has picked the wrong players, he has top
heavy rosters, He has done lots of things. He is
not a personnel guy, yet he wants to be that
guy and thinks that he is that guy. Okay, but
(35:37):
what Jerry Jones has always been and has always succeeded
in is business, and he has been big business for
the Cowboys, for the NFL and signing guys to contracts. Right,
Jerry Jones loves given guys money. Loves given big players
that he's responsible for because he drafted them. He loves
giving them money. He loved giving Dak Prescott money. He
(35:59):
loved giving Selam money. He loved it. He loved giving
Ezekiel Elliott money. He gives these guys money because these
are my guys. Right.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Jase zeke down to zawatnaom Yeah, i'd he taught him
on that boat in the whole nine yards zeke to.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
And that was it. That's Jerry Jones winning, right. Jerry
Jones wins by doing two things, keeping the Cowboys front
of mind, which he has said, I love the attention,
I love the relevance. There's a reason if you can't
win on the field, you went off the field. We
went off the field in business and attention and being
the number one team in the NFL, the most popular
team in all of football. Jerry Jones failed today at business.
(36:36):
He failed because the number one thing he wanted to
do when it all started, Micah Parsons. I want to
give him money. He's the best defensive player in the NFL.
He's twenty four years old. This is the guy you
give money to. It's gonna be something that it may
be a little weird, and we're gonna have to play
the whole game of I'm gonna say some stuff in
the media and DAK and CD and there. People will
(36:57):
say a little bit something back, but I'm gonna keep
it going for a long time time and then right
when I have to, will sign these guys a new contracts.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's Jerry Jones. That's his whole thing. Jerry Jones failed
miserably at that because he misjudged Michael Parsons. He misjudged
the situation and now had no choice but to trade him.
Jerry Jones has lost his fastball. He's lost his business fastball.
He never had a fastball for personnel, never had a
fastball for that. Jimmy Jones, he was he was a
(37:24):
junk baller. He was you know, he's the position player
coming into pitch in the eighth inning of the game,
you're down nineteen to four. Just picture Jerry with that
big helmet ont that k k Hernanaz likes to wear. Pittman,
I'm gonna throw it over the heavy you hit it.
But Jerry Jones always had a great business fastball. His
business fastball was great for the Cowboys, for the NFL everything.
(37:45):
So why the team is probably he would sold. It
be worth twenty billion dollars. But he has lost his
fastball because this is a negotiation that he had to
win and he didn't. And not only did he loot,
did he not win it. He wound up having to
move on from a guy that you want to build around,
and instead we have to trade him because I couldn't
get him signed when he thought he was gonna get
(38:06):
him signed. The whole time thought I'm gonna do the
same thing. It's the same blueprint I've been doing for
all these years. I give the guys money and he
blew it. And to see this happen for Jerry Jones, Yeah,
there gets to be a point for everybody. A coach
a GM a player where they lose their fastball. Some
players just literally lose their fastball. And this is that
moment for Jerry Jones where you can say wow, business wise,
(38:28):
he always found a way to do it because that's
a victory for him, is giving Michaeh Parson's money, putting
his arm around him and saying, hey, we did it.
That did not happen. Jerry Jones has lost his fastball,
and that's what was on display today.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Yeah, it's all about the art of the deal in
recognizing the wins of change, right. I mean, I've been
around this business long enough to remember fights over different
parts of properties. Right, Hey, there's this part of our
media company. We're tangentially tied to you and you and
if we did this it would be great now. But
he doesn't want to report to him and unlike him,
(39:04):
so let's just keep it separate. Oh wait, now, download
our app where you can get all of it together.
Just pick your company. I mean, it's recurring, every recurring theme,
and it's not just to the media business, all across
to where you recognize where things have changed. In this case,
Michaeh Parsons being a guy who's got you know, some
(39:25):
money put away a good head on his shoulders in
that regard. And he's got an agent who everybody calls
the most powerful, remember the agent in this play who's
done over a billion dollars of contracts, Like, you're not
gonna smooth talk it, You're not gonna finish. So that's
where I think in the details of it, recognizing that
there was gonna be no short changing, there's no home
(39:48):
town discounts or you know, whatever the handshake agreements were
until it was signed, it's.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Not done right.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
The my word, you know, is my bond, right the
handshake out of it until it's signed, it doesn't matter big.
All sorts of letters of intent and it's like, yeah,
I'm out. May We talk about it every year with
college players deciding all right, I'm moving. Uh, And I
had a letter of intent, I had, you know, all
(40:16):
the verbal agreements, but I've decided to go here. We've
seen the three card money thing on signing day for
how many years, and that happens with Jerry. This one
you just figured, all right, it was a lot of noise,
but in the end you'd get to the dollars. But
the dollars weren't enough. And that's and that's where I
really want if we can get the true numbers right
(40:36):
truth serum to everybody. Where where are those final numbers
and what's that difference, because that'll truly show you the
the personal nature and what the cost of business really is.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
It was it was personal. On August first, Jerry Jones
didn't realize how personal it was and said, I could
do my thing, but what's it worth.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Nope, that's the thing thing, because you can most of
the time, you can still bridge that with enough dollars.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah, but it got it was it was a bridge
to It was crossing the rubicon on August first. The
old man doesn't know what he's doing. Steven could have
stepped in exit exit out by the Frasca exit swelling dome.
Coming up next, we got more on the biggest story
of the last two months in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
You know it's it's funny we run the I Told
You So open when when we're gonna talk about Micah Parsons.
It's kind of funny. It's gota funny because let me
go back who said it's gonna end a month ago
that when Micah Parsons put that out on social media,
I no longer want to be here? Who said this
was gonna end in a trade? Who has two thumbs
(00:53):
and said it was gonna end in a trade? Oh, viscay.
Kind of fun we had that, We had that out
five hours.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's just been well, a living nightmare, knowing that I
will hear those words a million times. So the fact
that they show up and open my name missing from
part of that open, by the way, But all of
that to say the fact that Jerry did the pragmatic,
proper football thing. I never thought in a million years
we'd get there. It wasn't so much, Hey, Jerry gets
(01:22):
his way, Jerry. It's just Jerry actually sat back, went
through the looking glass and actually came out the other
side with the right move.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
No, I see, the right move is to signed by
a Parsons and keep the best defensive player in the NFL.
You're saying the best move now that that that it
was never gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
No, I I never thought it was the best for
football purposes. I always thought that it would just be
Jerry's not gonna let Mike Parsons leave.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay, so you think it was suc it was right
for him to trade the again, the best defensive player
in the NFL. They were gonna suck with him without
so but it doesn't matter what you do. If you're
going to trade the best defensive player, what does it matter.
My point was that it wasn't matter.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
All along was just Jerry Jones and the way he
has operated for thirty some odd years. Sign that was
never going to change. And it wasn't always good players
he signed.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It was every star, every Big Dallas Cowboy, homegrown star
he signed and gave money to. Yeah, he signed to
give money to.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
So in this case, if the numbers are to be believed,
Michah Parson's basically left out of spite.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Uh yeah again, if the numbers are what to be believed,
and if what Jerry Jones is gonna say is absolutely accurate,
because why wouldn't if Jerry Jones said that, Hey, this
money for Micah Parsons is less than we gave. What'd
you give him? What'd you offer?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You're talking Even if that difference is marginal, that it
that it becomes a fun thing. It's like for a
few dollars more we we wanted out and it came
to fruition that fast. Well, that means once again, Insider's
only no.

Show and subscribe on YouTube. Mike and I love putting
this content out for you every single day. Now, let's
go back because this was the biggest at why is
Micah Parsons no longer a Dallas cowboy? Let's go back
to the moment, the moment when look to go back
to moment. We told you stars in the NBA, the NFL,
(03:42):
when they want to get traded, they say it right.
Guys like Giannis, does he really want to get traded?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I got to look at my eyes. Now you gotta
say you want out. This is how star. We've said
this many times. This is how stars get traded. When
the star says he's had enough. If I say this
situation is no longer tenable, I get traded. If you
are Kevin Durant, if you are James Harden, this is
how big time stars get traded. And when Micah Parsons
went on social media and he said I no longer
(04:09):
want to be here, and he detailed what happened, what
was said to his agent, what was you know coming
back out? Jerry negotiated with me and and you know
he thought there was a deal as well. Wait a minute,
that might not be quote super legal in the NFL.
But when he said I no longer wanted to be here,
that's the same thing James Harden did. That's the same
thing Kevin Durant did. That's the same thing a lot
(04:31):
of stars do. And that's when you get traded. That's
when you know there is no way back. There's negotiation,
and then there's it's personal and I'm not coming back.
And for gen Z players who treat social media like
it is the end all be all of existence, when
you go on social media and say that that's a
really really big deal, that's the the twenty year ago
(04:55):
equivalent of having a press conference of saying I can't
be here anymore. I can't do it like being on
going on social media and saying I no longer want
to be here. That's the moment you knew that was
gonna happen. And that's when Jerry Jones had to say, Okay,
this is really my last guest chance to do this
to sign Micah Parsons. This is that moment, and instead,
what did he do? I'm just gonna inflame things along
(05:16):
the way. And I'm going to insult Micah Parson's agent.
I'm gonna go on a big television spew and and
and do a bunch of different shows and say, well,
the agent told us to stick it up our blank
and all the different things he wanted to say trying
to win the pr battle. When what he had to
do at that point that was, Okay, we now have
to make this happen, right, we have to make this happen.
(05:37):
That was the mistake when when Micah Parsons did that,
that was such a big deal and I think that
was really people looked at that and said, yeah, he's
saying something on social media. No, when you say that
on social media, that's the biggest thing. But that's a
whoe take me by surprise moment saying this is not
part of a negotiation. This is not I want more money.
I'm not respected. They need to show me money if
(05:59):
they if they want to value me as a player
I made maybe maybe, but I no longer want to
be here. That was the moment when I said this
is gonna end in a trade because Micah Parsons is
a different dude than all the other Cowboys stars. That
stayed quiet let Jerry Jones talk in the media got paid.
That was the moment I knew, And that's why I
said it's gonna end in a trade and for all
(06:21):
the experts always gonna get Paige got paid. A pack
not gonna happen because it was personal a month ago.
And all it's done is gotten worse in the last
three weeks.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I don't pretend to be an insider. I'll take the
l on it, and in the end, I've lost nothing. Again,
the Cowboys are a mid team one way or the other.
It just gave us a storyline for a month. We
did our gratitude. Yes, moment does he does he jump
ahead of Boy?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Does he jump ahead of Yeah? It's done? Maybe? Yeah,
we gave the award the other night.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah, like when he posted the thing on social media. Look,
I've seen a lot of people, no matter the age,
say a lot of dumb things is on social media
and then immediately be.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Like, Eh, maybe I shouldn't have had but it's out there.
What are you gonna do? How many times have we
seen guys post stuff and then delete it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
The Internet lives forever. It's not going anywhere, so you know,
I only gave it so much credence, but certainly we
recognized it's it was taking on a different life than
any of the past negotiations.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Even if you saw.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
The latest documentary effort, the as people call it, the
ass Kissing of Jerry Jones, uh and all whenever.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You look good in this uh special because I'm gonna
make a big trade that people aren't gonna like. So
I just want to make sure I can, you know,
just calm myself by getting on a Netflix and clicking
on and watching a squid game and then seeing that
I look good on this documentary. What was funny with.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
A lot of the press that he's done the last
couple weeks to tie that together is I really kept
waiting for him to say, don't forget to watch the documentary,
like he was gonna be sitting there with Billy Bush
or somebody instead of normal you know sports reporters like, hey,
you should watch it, don't forget. I was also land man,
I was really good. We're gonna try all we can
to get this contract done. Netflix hass backslash Cowboys. But
(08:07):
make sure you watch search it on your Roku and
just click on the Netflix button. It should just come
up right there.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I mean it should have been on the lower thirty,
should have been standing there wearing a sandwich board.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I don't know. Top ten in the United Kingdom. How
did I get on, Steven? How did I get on
this page? What is this department? CU? How did I
get on there? I don't understand. Come on in and
show me how I'll get to that, Stu, just like
Pitbull or mister Worldwide, that's what you are, Jerry. But
all of that to say it was taking on a
different tone in tenor, and then Jerry started getting salty
Jerry and showing a little different face in these these interviews.
(08:41):
And again you.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Believe what you want in the the timelines to continue them.
The dollars and cents of it all got to a
point where he made a deal today where for for
Jerry Jones if he'd come back over the top. So
we got to one eighty eight. We didn't quite get
to the two hundred million dollars. Should but you know what,
what was the price that would have kept him? Don't know,
(09:05):
but we know the thing and I think you and
I talked about this probably more than anybody else. Bogolta
being the the agent was the big X factor to
all of this, right, A guy who's held players out
deep into camps before, a guy who's had big moments,
the guy who got Deshaun Watson that giant guaranteed deal.
(09:25):
Don't think that doesn't play a little role in whatever
communications were going back and forth, like really, look what
I got for that guy.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Now you explain everybody that Mulagata is the agent because
because Jerry Jones never says his name, just the agent,
the agent. Agent. Yeah, in this agent, the agent. You know,
I watched an agent that was on the Netflix too.
That was a big I clicked on the thumbs up
and now that everything that says not an agent, so
it's all it comes up. It was a night agent.
That was the one where the guys the uh, the
(09:55):
the secret Service agent and he gets involved in this situation.
Yeah not because well because he works the night desk,
like when all the you know, and a phone call
comes in that is a woman in trouble, and of
course he has to investigate it like he's on the
lower because he did something that got him busted down
from Secret Service to you just watch the phones. And
(10:17):
then of course that he finds his way into this
big The book was really good. The ministrier is a
little bit different, but that was the whole thing was like,
I'm the guy, I'm all that there farmed me out
to past her. I made a mistake, and I just
answered the phones and a phone call comes in and
the and the woman says the right password that gets
her to the Secret Service. So he does the investigation,
and of course it's an inside job, and I'm not spoiling,
(10:39):
spoiling an agent for him. But then I saw that
it was an inside job, and at the end we
traded Maca. So that's that's how it went for it.
I do want to see Jerry Jones as a contestant
on password. Now, now did you say that? So let's
try to make that happen. But the last of it
just be I can only say one word if I
want you to get Maca Parsons. I want to say
linebacker that we traded got a couple of first round picks.
(11:00):
Form sender the packers like you should get Michael Parsons
off that what's gotta be one word?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You get nothing because by some people he's more defensive end.
He's not even aligned.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
With that's one word. I just say, uh, and that's
one word. You got nothing. You try to read your
mind more talk that I like. I like exposure in
the media. You gotta let me talk. Gotta have a
press conference to explain trades whenever that's really unpopular.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, brevity is the soul of wit in this regard,
but Mouligett as part of it. I would love to
see the second side, right because for Jerry Jones, like
we tried to do this, We try to do that,
like during this whole continuum, where where did we have
spots where they actually spoke to where maybe you got
to some uh general agreement, But then the devil in
(11:46):
the details is what toured apart some of it. And
Florio had this up Pro Football talking to something I
think we've alluded to it the last couple of weeks.
Is also when you're talking about paying him, with Jerry
also in the past talking about having the franchise tag
in his back pocket of hey, this is a three
year plan that we're looking at. Was you were gonna
(12:07):
end up fighting over what his number would be being
a defensive end versus being a linebacker as related to
a franchise tag and what the average value of the
top five at the position were, right, So were we
talking apples to oranges of here's Hendrickson, here's.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
What is Micah there? Or is he over here as
a lot like? Yeah? Right?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
So so I think that's where some of the the
devil being in the details is of I'm gonna make
you the highest paid, but then those deals get signed
and look.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
At getting any money. Look where you are. I'm so
I had to list you as a punter, I just
have to do.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
But the fact that they paid Jake Ferguson what they did,
if you're if you're a muga leta and Ferguson's a
fine player. Yeah, he's not a tight end by any stretch,
and he got top marketings on for for the tight
end position.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
So from Michaeh.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Parsons, you're you're looking around going, I can't get a
squeeze a few dollars more out of here. Now we'll wait,
we'll talk about it from the football perspective and a
bit uh you know, no, no disrespect to Kenny Clark
coming back and play.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You know, he's he's just a minor player in this
uh mine minor mane but but that's the that's the
whole the whole point is that this was at def con.
Deaf Con five is the worst one, right, this was
at DICK five or Dickcon one. Yeah, def Con one,
I think is whatever, the worst one. I gotta look
that up so I know, like we were at def
(13:36):
Con five on August first. Yeah, def Con one is
the worst, is the worst. Okay, we were at deaf
Con one on August first, So deaf Coon went all
the way down. Deaf Con five is basic peace and
everything is fine.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Def Con four, def Gon four, you go to Intel
watching your security measures heightened, depth Con three, force readiness
increased above normal levels.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Def Con two, near nuclear war. That was when the
computer started to get involved. Okay, Yeah, den Wars was
playing games and seeing the only way to win is
not to play. But like we were at deaf Con one,
that's the big thing, like like the big takeaways from
where We're gonna spend a lot of time on this
tonight throughout. But this was at def Con one on
August first, and either Jerry blew it didn't realize but
(14:19):
whatever reason, this was that bad a month ago, and
there was one chance to save it and it was
a month ago, and it just didn't It just got
worse from it. It's it's like when when two people
get in a fight. A couple gets in a fight
and you know, okay, well they're not going to date anymore,
that that's over. And then instead of hey, all right,
well after that fight, it's either we make up now
(14:41):
and because that was bad and we talk about it,
or this relationship's done, and instead it was just okay,
we just played out the next couple of weeks. I
got my stuff from your places, you got your stuff
from mine, and then it was done. We knew that's
where it went. I mean, this is where it was
always headed after that day, and Jerry Jones did nothing
to save it. But that it's I mean, the thing
that people have to understand is that when a star
(15:04):
goes to those extents and those lengths to say I
want out, like that's oh whoa. This is This is
not negotiation. This is not part of the back and forth.
This is not me blowing off steam. That's a serious series.
He borrowed from that playbook of k D and Harden,
and he played it great. He got out, he got
his money done, He did so much going on. He
(15:24):
was done.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
At that moment in assuaged if he got a giant topiary,
a lot of flowers in a ring, like if he
was on a bachelor, well if he full pulled, uh
a full Travis Kelcey, I watch, I watch, It's always
Sonny with the Danny DeVito as a golden Bachelor didn't
really end well for him, but it ended with what's
your name?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
From taxi? But uh uh yeah, with a rose and
glass of champagne. And that was actually the offer I
gave Tomacca and he didn't take it. So that's that's
that's what happened there. Good morning to you. So I
just number one, number one know that that was the moment, right,
that's why we call the show ahead of the Curve.
That was the moment that we knew that things are
(16:03):
that serious. And the cowboys either didn't think it was
that serious or refused to play it that serious, didn't
want to even acknowledge it was that serious. But that's
what it was, and that's how they blew it. This
is why Micah Parsons is now a member of the
Green Baker.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I gave you a chance to make him the highest
paid player, non quarterback.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I gave you a chance to keep him here forever
and you blew it. Coming up next, we have more
on this story. We're gonna hear from Jerry Jones, who
had a very hastily scheduled press conference following the trade today.
Plus let's revisit another conversation we had a couple of
days ago after what one MLB superstar did tonight, a
(16:44):
night we haven't seen in years, and you only get
a couple of times over the course of your lifetime.
That's next, right here, Jason and Mike, this is Fox

sports and pop culture, stories that well, other shows don't
seem to have the time to discuss. And the fact
that we've been friends for the last twenty years and
still work together.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I mean that says something right, So.
Speaker 5 (17:28):

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, we got more on the Micah
Parsons trade to the Green Bay Packers. We told you
coming up in a couple of minutes. But first, it's
the Play the Day, brought to you by tire Rack.
For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
(18:26):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerack dot
Com is the way tire buying should be. Well, when
you hit not one, not two, not three, but four
home runs, you get to be the tire rack play
of the day. Swam On hit deep right field head.
There's history for Swarmer.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
It's his fourth home run of the night as Kyle
Schwarmer becomes the first Philly since Michael jack Smith to
hit four homers in a game.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So there was Philly TV on the call. Four home
runs for Kyle Schwarber tonight. He now has forty nine
nine RBI give him one hundred and nineteen. Now, all
of a sudden, he's just jumped up a decade and
the Phillies he clearly showing that the Mets are really
their kryptonite. They beat the Braves nineteen to four. Something
(19:22):
going on in that stadium. Oh man, I'll tend straight
losses in city field. Nineteen to four. They win. And
now you know, let's revisit the conversation that we had
earlier this week when it comes to nl MVP, because
we told you earlier this week, look yes, Shojo Tani
is having a fantastic year one hundred and fifty percent.
(19:43):
But the MVP is not player of the year. It's
not the player with the best stats. It's who has
shown that I am the most valuable player to my team.
And Otani fifty to fifty last year, phenomenal season, absolute
one hundred percent. It wasn't even close this year. What
we said a few days ago, I'll double down on. Now,
(20:05):
Kyle Schwarber is your National League MVP, and I don't
believe it's particularly close. Now Vegas may disagree, but you're
talking about someone now forty five on runs. Yes, now
four more than show Heyo Tani. But bottom line, now,
Kyle Schwarber's got one hundred and nineteen RBI right like
that Dwarfs show. Hey, Otani, I mean like you're talking
about a guy that's hitting second in the batting order
(20:26):
and he's got one hundred and nineteen RBI, Like that's
a that's a real You're all of a sudden, he
now leads Pete Alonzo by eleven and I don't know
that Alonzo can catch him, Like I don't know if
that can happen. And Otani is sitting around at eighty five.
This is no longer I got you by fifteen. I
guess by twelve. He's got Otani by thirty RBI. And
you can look at all the different stats you want
(20:47):
to and talk about war and different things, and I
understand that, but certain things when you're a slugger and
you are the guy carrying your team this year, because look,
Bryce Harper is still a fantastic player, right, still a
top five, top seven player in Major League Baseball. The Dodgers,
they have a lot of good players on their team.
Otani clearly is the best. But this year, Schwarber's got
(21:08):
the Phillies at the top of the NL East, with
more responsibility the Phillies. He's more responsible for the Phillies
being in first place than Otani is for the Dodgers
being in first place in the NL West this year.
You can't just blanketly give it to Otani ever year,
because again it's not Player of the Year. It is MVP. Yes,
Otani fine pitched last night, had a five inning like
(21:30):
that was great, That was great. But I mean, you know, look,
the biggest number for you know, hum runs is a
great number. It's a huge number, the biggest number for sluggers.
RBI is kind of the most important number. No matter
what you want to look at as far as war
and and ops, RBI is still the most important one.
And it contwarm has one hundred and nineteen again coming
(21:50):
off and again talk about value. Coming off a day
in which the Phillies were swept and complained about microphones
and the Mets standing too close to there to the
plate when they should be on the on deck circle,
and things were falling apart from the Phillies and they
got to win an absolute laugher. And now Schwarz Gotani
by thirty.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I'm going to take a play from from your playbook
from all those years ago dealing with Patriots stuff. It's like,
I don't know if it's not happening in other stadiums.
Don't I have to ask questions about what's going on
in that building? So if the Phillies are that inept
in City Field, it was ten straight getting parabolic microphone.
(22:29):
It's a microphone, but is that it? Yeah, it's a microphone.
Come on, we had the microphone out there. The Mets
are standing a little too close to the plate and
on deck circle, all these things. That's how the Mets
catch you. I'm just that's how they got you. I
have to ask questions.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
That's how they get you.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Book, if we could have full on investigations and and
have it litigated for multiple years over a half a
pound ps I in a football, we can do this here.
Because this guy comes right back out and he tossed
out the whooping stick again.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's how it goes, man, That's how it goes. What
do you want? What do you What do you want
from me? So you're saying you want.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
To say ten games, we can't do things at City Field.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Teams have ten game losing streaks in other people's parks.
It just so happens to be that this is the
fust place team that's lost like your team. Yeah, okay,
So do you want to have the Kyle Schwarber conversation
or do you want to say you think the Mets
a cheating? Which which one I would have fun with? Which?
Which one do you want? We lost to the Marlins
tonight seven to four. If we were cheating, we would
have beaten the Marlins tonight, But no, we couldn't, So
you clearly know that's out. Or we got to find
(23:26):
something else besides the microphone.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Well, I mean maybe it doesn't work. I mean it's
not one size fits all. I mean certainly, you know,
you got to adapt to your different opponent and mark
as it were. As for the Schwarber conversation, I like
the cut of your Jim. I like the argument you make,
the fact that there's been really not a whole lot
of movement. We'll talk to Todd Ferman coming up in
about two hours from now to go deeper into this.
(23:49):
But as we talked about it two days ago, Schwarber
was still sixteen to one. So not only is the
public not backing it, that means the sharps aren't jumping
in at sixteen to one either, which.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Is gonna be funny enough.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
But that's what I mean, that's the curiosity, right because
if it was something that was really swaying, and this
is where we have to go find all the people
that will vote for MVP and start pulling them, which
I'm guessing some of the odds makers there in those
sportsbooks have you know, access guys. So what's what's the
wind prevailing wins? What's it saying the sharps I think
(24:24):
would be putting money into this, would they not? I
mean just I think the argument of what Schwarber is yeah,
makes perfect sense. But wouldn't people be trying to load
up at sixteen to one? Are we to have a
movement of odds?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah? Maybe they are. Now I want to see what
the odds are going to be after tonight, one of
the odds for Schwarmer's MVP.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
How much did we get tonight? I don't, I don't know.
I think this is a thing that should have been moving.
Move a little bit again, it's still going from a
really long shot, Joe, I would say it's probably still
what twelve to one.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I told you to get in. I told you, I say, hey,
that that pretty good odds to get in on a
few days ago. But where's where's the loss? Better? Now?
It's even better? Now? You're just mad at me. I
could tell you're mad at me. You're mad at me.
You've been mad for the last half hour that Micaeh
Parsons got traded. You've been mad for the last half
hour that Micah Parsons got traded. Yes, I could tell.
(25:18):
I know you for ten years, eleven years. Now, I
could tell you're mad that Michael Parson's Yes you are.
He does go to the Packers. Oh yeah, that's over
under in that whole half a game. That's tough. That's yeah.
Those are three teams that really hate the Cowboys too.
There's three other teams going. Man, we're we're supposed to
have great seasons, maybe super Bowl, maybe playoffs. You know,
(25:43):
traded because it ends the story. Yeah, yeah, well you
knew it was good thickets the Cowboys. We just could
have dragged on for another but they got left. When
George Pickens starts acting like a knucklehead.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah, no, Picktts is not gonna be enough to move
the needle for us.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
We got nothing. Ye think, I think that it's dead. No,
the fact that Jerry made the right football play in
his I think the fact that Jerry Jones we're gonna
hear him in a couple of seconds. The fact that
Jerry Jones put Dak on blast after it was over
by saying, we already gave more money than we ever
have to Dak Prescott last year. Dak like suddenly it's
(26:22):
Dak's fault that Micah Parson's got traded like something that, No,
do you have as much money for him? That Jerry.
Now he's in CD. He's just gonna he's just gonna
change his focus now from I gotta change this story
from Micah Parsons being traded too. I'm changing it over
now to oh, Dak is the guy, don't worry about
(26:42):
my Dak's the guy. So if you're mad at anybody,
be mad at Dak because Dak's the guy on the
field that will not come through for the Cowboys and
something that's we gave him more money. That's the guy
to be mad at. I'm the guy that traded micahp
You can be mad at me, but if Dak doesn't
play well, you can be mad at him. Okay, that's
what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Is this the the HASLM strategy always missteps and missdealings
and problems and misfirings on contracts to when it became
the shdoor. Sanders question that guy he led a, he
wanted him. It's all his drafting. So yeah, I mean
maybe he's taking the same page.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Let's listen. We got the sound. But here's Jerry Jones
today again talking about the Micah Parsons trade and basically saying, hey, uh,
don't forget I gave all that money to Dak.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
This gives us a better chance to be a better
team than we have been the last few several years.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Since Michael's been here.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Not any negative on Micah, but we're trying to get better.
We're trying to stop the run and stay on the hunt.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Uh yeah, so uh you know, more money than we
ever gave to anybody who's ever been here. And are
you looking over at Dak now now it's Daxlall. Dak's like, well,
I get side swiped enough. Don't your side swipe to me?
During this whole thing with Michael Parsons. Come on, man,
what's happening here?
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I mean, look, you get it to do with defensive pose?
What are we always talking about? You get a rat corner?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
What's he gonna do? He's gonna come out fighting alright here?
It is more on him talking about Dak.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
But we have the highest paid player in the NFL,
a quarterback, and we made that commitment last year and
we're proud we made it and had everything to do
with this decision. Everything it is give us every opportunity
with Dak, Prescott and Lamb and the base that we've
got to win not Lamb.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I like that Lamba. And I'm putting CD on there too,
becuse I gave him a lot of money last year too.
You're getting that well.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Because remember CD got side swipe because cheer and more
for him to get paid. Yeah, Micah, Yeah, the decibel
was higher. Who so he just grabbed him all up
in there. But it's it's like I argued with Joe
Shane last year. I don't think what he did was wrong.
I think you just get get yourself caught up in
a microphone and you say stupid things.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
That's that's Jerry rises. That's that's how Jerry doesn't.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Man's how Shane did it with the Saquon Barkley infamous
tell phone call. And that's what we got with with Jerry,
where I was like, who haven't I side swiped that
we gave money to. I mean the Ferguson kid got paid.
He took no incoming.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Exit out Valda Fresca exit Swallen Dome. Jason Smith Mike
Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios time out
to find out what's trending in the wide world of
sports from someone who's been called the Micah Parsons of
Fox Sports Radio. She doesn't like something, she'll tell you
on social media. It's Monty Belango's and I'm out, I'm out,
all right? Take note? Take note.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
That's right, Michael Parson's highest patonn quarterback in NFL history.
On the move, no longer a cowboy, but a packer,
signing a four year, one hundred and eighty eight million
dollar extension. You guys are gonna talk about it all night.
We'll keep playing Jerry Jones for you listeners, so don't
you worry. But in other kind of NFL news, we
do have a college football game right at Arrowhead Stadium.
(29:55):
It's Nebraska and Cincinnati. Nebraska is up twenty to three,
coming down into half time right now. But this is
trending because.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Who's at this game on so oh, thank you for
this game?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Is he standing next to Jerry Jones.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
No, but he probably wants to be in the suite
that contains Taylor Swift, Travis Kelcey, Patrick Mahomes, and Brittany Mahomes.
So they're at this game, and I feel like Nebraska
has already just taken full advantage of posting videos of
them at this game.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You know you gotta you gotta give the people what
they want. And it's Taite and Travis Kelsey. You need,
you need the picture and picture experience for this game,
well for the NFL, no, but for for opening opening
week Nebraska Cincinnati. Yeah, you need, you need this small
screen and the game can be on Mac.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
There's like a clip of Taylor Swift walking by herself,
like you know, into probably going towards the suite, and
there's a girl behind her walking and it's the clip
is so short and it's Britney Mahomes, but nobody knows.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
It's all like, oh, this is Taylor Swift, says.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
Brittany Mahomes is literally walking right by her. So they're
at that game. South Florida did crush number twenty five
Boise State already thirty four to seven. When it comes
to baseball, yeah, you guys are talking about Kyle Schwarber.
Four home runs today, nine RBI, so he is at
a career high forty nine home runs, one hundred and
nineteen rbi. Pht least crushed the Braves nineteen to four,
(31:15):
Marlins outscored the Mets seven to four, Yankees beat the
White Sox ten to four, and the Giants earlier today
edged the Cubs four to three. And in college hoops, guys,
in casey minister, Rick Barnes has signed a lifetime contract
with Tennessee, committing to be their coach for the rest
of his career.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Back to you, guys, thank you very much, Mona until
they fire him. Until yes, listen, we gave you a
lifetime contract. So what's going on today? We're declaring you dead?
That's it. I mean, what's a buyout? Out a deal?
We're tired of this direction doesn't matter. I like die.
This is like in the movies. I need that taken
care of. You know what I mean when I say
(31:53):
taken care of? Yeah? Taking care of yeah. Listen. So
congratulations on earning that lifetime.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Now, really just throw this out here because we've got
more and Jerry Jones coming up. But I am pretty sure,
I am pretty sure. I'm not one hundred percent, but
I'm pretty sure Ashton Genty was pretty important to Boise State.
Just so sure that was the thing. And now how
many college football peerists are happy because already Boise State
you can knock them out of getting We're gonna take
(32:19):
a bid from us a Boise State. They're in the
top twenty five already. Of course they're gonna go like
twelve and oh and they're gonna snatch a playoff bid
from us. They get worked tonight by South Florida thirty
four to seven. So you're welcome, all college football peers.
You will not have to worry about the blue field
and the Broncos snatching a wild card playoff spot from you.
(32:40):
You don't have to be upset Alabama or Tennessee or Michigan.
All the Boise State. The scourge of college football is
not going to take a bit away from.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
You unless they go into South Bend and take down
Notre Dame in the beginning.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Of hunt over. Oh, root for you, then they can
root for you. Yeah, then they can jump back into
the mix.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
But you're right, one day, you got a little bit
of breathing easier, because I mean, that's a lot of
the lamentation when we get early season matchups. In this case,
just the the trip down to the South Florida Bulls
taking him down in grand style thirty four to seven,
just an absolute beatdown. And you know, now, I guess
in the fourth quarter, you just run a bunch of
(33:20):
highlights of Ashton genty.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah, that's what happens, you know what I mean? Just
here here he was last year. Hey, here's what he
looked like in the preseason. This looked great. How great
is he gonna be at the next level?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
By the way, just to tie up the Schwarber thing
for a sec, twenty first player in Major league history
with a four home run game. He was thanked almost
instantly by Mike Cameron.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah, that was nice. It was and it's awesome Mike
Cameron jumping up and down. But I did that?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Remember me?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Remember me, Mark Whitten. I'm sure we'll thank you. It's
not just Kurts and this guy. No, no, no, But
coming up next, maybe the strongest, most shocking thing you
can say about Jerry Jones after the Micah Parsons trade
to the Packers. That straight head right here, Jason, Mike,

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
There's lots of things you can say about Jerry Jones, like,
obviously the biggest story, Micah Parsons traded from the Cowboys
to the Packers. He gets the highest non quarterback deal
in the history of the game, four years, one hundred
and eighty eight million dollars. The Cowboys get a couple
of first round picks. Now, something we talked about Jerry
Jones the other night is coming back to fruition today.
(35:15):
Has Jerry Jones always been the best GM? No, He's
been terrible. He has a lot of player situations in
which he has picked the wrong players, he has top
heavy rosters, He has done lots of things. He is
not a personnel guy, yet he wants to be that
guy and thinks that he is that guy. Okay, but
(35:37):
what Jerry Jones has always been and has always succeeded
in is business, and he has been big business for
the Cowboys, for the NFL and signing guys to contracts. Right,
Jerry Jones loves given guys money. Loves given big players
that he's responsible for because he drafted them. He loves
giving them money. He loved giving Dak Prescott money. He
(35:59):
loved giving Selam money. He loved it. He loved giving
Ezekiel Elliott money. He gives these guys money because these
are my guys. Right.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Jase zeke down to zawatnaom Yeah, i'd he taught him
on that boat in the whole nine yards zeke to.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
And that was it. That's Jerry Jones winning, right. Jerry
Jones wins by doing two things, keeping the Cowboys front
of mind, which he has said, I love the attention,
I love the relevance. There's a reason if you can't
win on the field, you went off the field. We
went off the field in business and attention and being
the number one team in the NFL, the most popular
team in all of football. Jerry Jones failed today at business.
(36:36):
He failed because the number one thing he wanted to
do when it all started, Micah Parsons. I want to
give him money. He's the best defensive player in the NFL.
He's twenty four years old. This is the guy you
give money to. It's gonna be something that it may
be a little weird, and we're gonna have to play
the whole game of I'm gonna say some stuff in
the media and DAK and CD and there. People will
(36:57):
say a little bit something back, but I'm gonna keep
it going for a long time time and then right
when I have to, will sign these guys a new contracts.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's Jerry Jones. That's his whole thing. Jerry Jones failed
miserably at that because he misjudged Michael Parsons. He misjudged
the situation and now had no choice but to trade him.
Jerry Jones has lost his fastball. He's lost his business fastball.
He never had a fastball for personnel, never had a
fastball for that. Jimmy Jones, he was he was a
(37:24):
junk baller. He was you know, he's the position player
coming into pitch in the eighth inning of the game,
you're down nineteen to four. Just picture Jerry with that
big helmet ont that k k Hernanaz likes to wear. Pittman,
I'm gonna throw it over the heavy you hit it.
But Jerry Jones always had a great business fastball. His
business fastball was great for the Cowboys, for the NFL everything.
(37:45):
So why the team is probably he would sold. It
be worth twenty billion dollars. But he has lost his
fastball because this is a negotiation that he had to
win and he didn't. And not only did he loot,
did he not win it. He wound up having to
move on from a guy that you want to build around,
and instead we have to trade him because I couldn't
get him signed when he thought he was gonna get
(38:06):
him signed. The whole time thought I'm gonna do the
same thing. It's the same blueprint I've been doing for
all these years. I give the guys money and he
blew it. And to see this happen for Jerry Jones, Yeah,
there gets to be a point for everybody. A coach
a GM a player where they lose their fastball. Some
players just literally lose their fastball. And this is that
moment for Jerry Jones where you can say wow, business wise,
(38:28):
he always found a way to do it because that's
a victory for him, is giving Michaeh Parson's money, putting
his arm around him and saying, hey, we did it.
That did not happen. Jerry Jones has lost his fastball,
and that's what was on display today.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Yeah, it's all about the art of the deal in
recognizing the wins of change, right. I mean, I've been
around this business long enough to remember fights over different
parts of properties. Right, Hey, there's this part of our
media company. We're tangentially tied to you and you and
if we did this it would be great now. But
he doesn't want to report to him and unlike him,
(39:04):
so let's just keep it separate. Oh wait, now, download
our app where you can get all of it together.
Just pick your company. I mean, it's recurring, every recurring theme,
and it's not just to the media business, all across
to where you recognize where things have changed. In this case,
Michaeh Parsons being a guy who's got you know, some
(39:25):
money put away a good head on his shoulders in
that regard. And he's got an agent who everybody calls
the most powerful, remember the agent in this play who's
done over a billion dollars of contracts, Like, you're not
gonna smooth talk it, You're not gonna finish. So that's
where I think in the details of it, recognizing that
there was gonna be no short changing, there's no home
(39:48):
town discounts or you know, whatever the handshake agreements were
until it was signed, it's.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Not done right.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
The my word, you know, is my bond, right the
handshake out of it until it's signed, it doesn't matter big.
All sorts of letters of intent and it's like, yeah,
I'm out. May We talk about it every year with
college players deciding all right, I'm moving. Uh, And I
had a letter of intent, I had, you know, all
(40:16):
the verbal agreements, but I've decided to go here. We've
seen the three card money thing on signing day for
how many years, and that happens with Jerry. This one
you just figured, all right, it was a lot of noise,
but in the end you'd get to the dollars. But
the dollars weren't enough. And that's and that's where I
really want if we can get the true numbers right
(40:36):
truth serum to everybody. Where where are those final numbers
and what's that difference, because that'll truly show you the
the personal nature and what the cost of business really is.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
It was it was personal. On August first, Jerry Jones
didn't realize how personal it was and said, I could
do my thing, but what's it worth.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Nope, that's the thing thing, because you can most of
the time, you can still bridge that with enough dollars.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah, but it got it was it was a bridge
to It was crossing the rubicon on August first. The
old man doesn't know what he's doing. Steven could have
stepped in exit exit out by the Frasca exit swelling dome.
Coming up next, we got more on the biggest story
of the last two months in the NFL.
