recommended installers, tire act dot Com. The way tire buying
should be. Well, you know, not to alarm you, Mike Carmen,
but if the Cowboys get out to like a sixty
five nothing lead and mar misses all the extra points,
they're gonna be in a lot of trouble. Yeah, I mean,
you really could come back. I mean, we've seen some
crazy things in the postseason. That Super wild Card weekend.
(01:07):
I had to change the way I was doing the
pronunciation of it. It doesn't flow. It's now super wild
Card weekend. Super was crazy, super wild Card, super wild
Card super super wild has to be or is it
super wild wild Card weekend? It is not just a
wild Card weekend, it's super wild wild Card week Now,
(01:30):
you're just making it longer. I was just trying to
change the emphasist on this Elbin That's what she said. Uh, yes,
it really. I'm telling you three or four more touchdowns
by the Cowboys and three or four more missed extra points,
probably Brett Marr and I think the game is tied.
I think that's if the Cowboy has been deduct yes. Uh.
(01:51):
And speaking of touchdowns, where we are right now it
is now twenty four to nothing, the Cowboys with the
lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a touchdown pass just
seconds ago. Dak Prescott has been phenomenal. Uh three touchdowns
now two forty one yards passing. But let me just
(02:12):
say this, it looked like he ran out of the
back of the end Yeah. It may get called back,
and may get called back because he did look like
he ran out of the back of the end zone.
I think upon further review, they're going to find that.
Uh or Lofsky did, Yeah, well he wasn't. Michael Gallup
wasn't running in fear. He was just he just lost
three was on the field, So I think it's gonna
get called back. They're in a commercial break right now,
(02:33):
so it's still gonna wind up being eighteen nothing. But hey,
eighteen nothing. Hey, we've seen people blow big leads, so
you know this is during. This's just not a wild
guard super wild. So even if it's eighteen nothing. I mean, hey,
even if this touchdown count doesn't matter, it doesn't because
(02:53):
you know mar is gonna miss the extra point. So
it's gonna be still a three score game for Tom Brady.
Just go for two every time. I thought you'd do
that after the second one, but apparently not. Yes tonight
for the Cowboys, it has been an absolute domination of
Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Eighteen nothing there on the
two yard line, and again this touchdown pass is gonna
get called back because of Michael goppos out in the
(03:15):
end zone and then came back in. But it has
been all Dallas. Brady has looked awful. The only thing
the Buccaneers have going for him is Yes, Cowboys kicker
Brett Mars something we have never seen. He missed all
three extra points in the first half. This was a
three touchdown first half by the Cowboys, and instead of
twenty one nothing, it's eighteen nothing. But they are about
(03:36):
to add more points, whether it's by a touchdown or field.
I think at that field they get those three points back.
I think anything the Bucks, the Dallas kicks they give
to Tampa Bay, I think that's what happens. Yeah, that's yeah.
This has been a miserable game. You had a dubious
roughing the pastor call. I'm gonna argue with that call
(03:56):
until I'm blew in the face or six ft under,
whichever comes first. But I can't hold my breath and
make my point. Is that that the body weight on
a on a quarterback, if you're running through him, that's
kind of gonna happen. You're not playing leap frog. It's
not like he went and did the whole Cogan who's
in attendance, did the big leg drop, the kamala, the
ugundan Be's giants splash, none of that stuff. Just took
(04:20):
him down. You want to tell me he got up
around the neck and head and may have grazed the helmet.
All right, now, we we talked about letter versus spirit
of the law and all but ever since that point
and that extended the drive right after a couple of
three and outs that Dak Prescott has could not miss,
could not miss. Just every throw has been pinpoint. You
(04:41):
had that beautiful call at the at the goal line,
which was the call was great. The call to go
for it was as obvious as the nose on your face,
because yeah, Brady, go drive ninety eight yards on good, look, good,
do that again. We saw what you did the last
drive fourteen seventy yards. Yeah, and then he gave us
(05:02):
the ball, so yeah, go try and do it again.
So it's one of those games that, uh, the end
can't come soon enough, and is it really the end?
I'll tell you it has really been something. We could
talk about how complicated other banks make it dradeam credit
card rewards, or we could talk about how with Discover
you can redeem you rewards for cashing any amount at
any time. I mean, talk about amazing. Learn more at
(05:24):
discovered dot com. Slash redeem rewards terms they do apply well.
After watching the replay and seeing it as many times
we're watching live history. Because here's Brett maherr on for
an extra point. The touchdown stands. Details on that in
a second. Could Brett mar missed his fourth straight extra
point in the game tonight, and he missed it he
(05:45):
jointed off the upright. He has missed four extra points tonight. Wow,
twenty four to nothing. Four extra points. That's I mean,
he's trying to say, nobody will ever take my row
from I want this record. He has missed four extra points.
The first three he missed wide right, or the first
(06:06):
two he missed wide right. Then he then he hooked
it left, and now he hit it wide right again
and it joinked off the top of the upright, uh,
the very top of the upright. So he I don't
know that it would have been good. Even if he
kicked a little bit higher still like it would have
been no good. But he has now missed four extra points.
Four you have you have a one job. He also
(06:29):
missed the P A D that he kicked in the
getting drilled against the Commanders. Now, overall five goes back
to the wrestling analogies. Five. So let me just say
this first, because now we're twenty four nothing Cowboys and
and Trevor Lawrence is coming in to play quarterback now
for Tampa Bay because you know it's Florida, it's a
short trip. Uh, can Mark kick for them next week?
(06:50):
I mean you can't have him back, but maybe Bill
mar maybe Bill Mark could. Sure. Yeah, at t J
this was competitively incorrect but actually done. Yeah, just got
an ugly and ultimately we saw another replay live action
and even in the first replays that look like Gallup
as he went across the back line had gone out
(07:13):
ever so slightly right, you know, just enough of the
painted grass. And then upon closer inspection of the Bruder film, uh,
you know, because they have a chip in the ball now.
I don't know if you found that out this weekend too,
but you know, all these revelations over the Super Wild
Car weekend, But it's another touchdown pass for Dak Prescott.
All these people sitting on tickets because there was a
(07:34):
lot of money bet on him throwing another pick and
extending his streak. Right now, eighteen of twenty three to
forty three and three. After that early couple of possessions,
struggles and drops, he's been fantastic. I'll tell you it.
Has been a game in which you have seen the
performance from one quarterback and another quarterback we thought we'd see,
(07:58):
but the roles are reversed. Right. What Doc has done
tonight is and he's done a masterful job at this
is he has bought a lot of time, and he
has looked off his receivers incredibly well because he's gotten
to the point where, hey, this is where I'm going
with the ball, and then he knows where his where
his secondary receiver is and he turns to make that
throw and they're wide open, and there are because either
(08:21):
Tampa is anticipating too much or they are just not
ready for the Cowboys passing attack. But watching him, watching
him throw, seeing him just you know, get when he
rolls off to the side, he rolls out to the side,
or or he stays back in the pocket. He definitely
gets Tampa going one way and then comes back and
just fires it in. And he has looked incredibly impressive
(08:44):
and it's really been something. And this is gonna wind
up being like his Hey, Doc has arrived game. Right here,
he is on a game that's gonna be incredibly highly rated.
And Doc has arrived and on the other side of this,
you have Tom Brady who looks like, and I'm not
I'm not exaggerated, it looks like he's having trouble throwing
the football, just throwing it. Because he has had a
(09:05):
handful of plays tonight where he has thrown the football
and there are wide receivers who are opened by five
yards and he's overthrown them. His last two passes of
the half where he threw the ball and he had
wide receivers wide open just to try to get the
ball down the field and he's ten yards over their
head or or five yards in the dirt in front
of them. He has looked absolutely awful tonight. And for
(09:27):
any team thinking, hey, we want to go get Tom
Brady in the offseason, this tape is not gonna make
them want to do that. It is not going to
make them say, yeah, we are a Tom Brady away
from winning the Super Bowl. He is. This is just
every every team that might want to go get him
is watching this game going, oh, maybe we go to
(09:48):
the draft, Hey may may maybe we called Jimmy G.
Let's call Jimmy G. Jimmy can today healthy when it
doesn't matter, makes no difference. Let's tell it right, because
you you look at this game, and there have been
moments throughout the season, right and some have dismissed his
entire campaign. Numbers are still there, and anybody that had
(10:08):
the over forty two and a half while you're getting there,
there's no question about that, uh or forty three and
a half. But we're we're looking at a situation whereby
there's no separation. The return of Jensen on the offensive
line has offered little to no support and resistance, and
you already don't have a run game, so there's no
(10:29):
respect for any semblance of all right, we're gonna try
to run with white or four net. We'll give them
their yards because you're not gonna be able to do
that consistently against the Dallas front or as you saw
a year, what was it, seventy seven yards a game.
It's you know, we point out as we got to
the playoffs, you have them, you have the Bangles, You've
got three or four teams where he's like, all right,
(10:50):
here's the obvious hitching the gidea and for the Buccaneers
trying to buy an extra time, any extra time with
a guy that can't move right with dad, he's sliding
you know, sideline to sideline, buying time second receiver, third
receiver or whatever and finding the open man. Brady doesn't
have that that luxury because Michael Parsons is in his
(11:10):
face at every every down and then he limped off
at halftime, still awaiting some word there. But the pressure
hasn't ceased because now it's for nothing. Sorry, I wanted
to make sure I got that right, that he missed
that fourth twenty four nothing, so you have the It's
(11:31):
just everybody wants their piece of Brady at this point. Uh,
he may have an opportunity to miss a fifth extra
point in a couple of minutes because Brady just completed
a pass to Chris Godwin, who fumbled. The Cowboys recovered
they have the ball deep in Tampa Bay territory, but
the play is being reviewed to see whether or not
Godwin had possession. Uh. When he went down, he caught
(11:54):
the ball, took a step, got hit and when he
hit the ground, he hit the ground, his back hit
the ground, and he was holding the ball. That's when
the ball popped out. This is gonna be a close,
close overtime. This is where the call on the field
might wind up being the reason, because is there enough
to overturn it? I I don't know, man, this is
gonna wind up being Cowboys football. Can we also after
(12:15):
Super wild Super wild Card weekend, super pull back and
just say I don't trust officiating, like not that I
ever did. And this year has been awful and so
many respects, but after this weekend, I truly have no
idea what's going to come out of the next the
officials mount By the way, anyway, shouldn't be noted that
the head official in this game is undefeated against Cowboys
(12:39):
opponents in his career. Cowboys are eight no when this
guy is official. Scott Foster is officiating. This might as
well be nice Twitter and out about a fresca Mike
gets swollen dome the Jason Smith showing my best friend
Mike Harmon live from the tirect dot com studios. We
are just getting started. We have tonight's game, this blowout
(13:00):
that is causing all kinds of eyes to pop open,
Mars missed extra points, We had the rest of Super
wild Card weekend to break down and the Jaguars coming
back keep it right here, and we have to do it.
I'm sorry, we have to. I haven't said I haven't
said the name of your team, though I had to.
I've just said although you know later when we actually
(13:22):
do this story, you're gonna not gonna wanna listen. Yeah,
we're not doing the story America. Ah uh so. Yeah.
Upon further review, the fumble is overturned. The Bucks keep
the football. They have it now down twenty four nothing,
nine mintes to go. In the third quarter, they overturned
the fumble, saying Godwin didn't have possession when he went down, which, boy,
(13:45):
this is one of those. Oh man, it's a tough one.
That's really tough. But they gave the ball back to
Tampa Bay again, twenty four nothing. They have the football
and Brett mar continuing to miss extra points to keep
it right here, Jason lock and for coming up next,
we go all the latest on this game, Lamar Jackson,
Tom Brady, keep it right here. This is Fox. Be
(14:06):

Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio
app Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My
best friend Mike Harmon. Puts in the bag or Shark
or something. We're live from the tirect dot com studios.
(14:27):
We could talk about how complicated other banks make it
to redeem credit card rewards, or we could talk about
how with Discover you can redeem your rewards for cash
and any amount at anytime. I mean talk about amazing
learn more at discovered dot com slash redeem rewards terms
they do apply. Well. We have Jason lock and Ford
stopping by right now. But just to get you caught
up with what's going on in the game, Cowboys have
(14:49):
the football. They are up twenty four nothing. We told
you about the turnover that was overruled on the field,
that Chris Godwin fumble. The ball goes back to Tampa.
Tampa has to wind up hunting. What's starting to get
a lot of attention is when you watch this play
in which the Cowboys get the turnover, Malik Hooker is
running it back. Tom Brady tries to run in at
(15:10):
the end of the play, slide and trip and side
swipe Hooker in a dirty s play from behind. He
doesn't get there. He doesn't get him uh and Hooker
is able to evade him because he doesn't see a
lot of jokes said so that Mac Jones says, I
learned from watching you. Okay, the other part was that Godwin.
(15:31):
If you see from the overhead again he goes down
hard and like his head hits and I don't know
that was one of those. Alright, make make sure he's
good too. So there's a lot flowing. But yes, the
slide tackle, Uh, he got his own guy. Man, it's
a dirty play and again uncalled joining us now on
(15:52):
the hotline. The man who always calls and we always
answer oddyssey NFL Insider Washington Post. Check him out on
Twitter at Jason locking fora It is the afore mentioned
Jason Locking Forward. Hey, what's happening, buddy? What's going on? Guys?
This is this is uh one way traffic here. You know.
First thing I want to say is this is that
(16:13):
you know, we spent today talking about Tom Brady and
his future away from Tampa Bay, and I'm watching this
game and I go, Brady is not really making any
other team in the offseason. Go hey, we want to
go get you. He looks absolutely awful tonight. J Yeah,
it's it's bad. Um. From the first drive until now,
(16:36):
it's been bad. It was bad. The one actually sustained
possession that they were able to march down the field,
and then he shows the red zone pick, which is
something he's never really done. Yeah. I mean, he can't
connect with Evans, he can't connect with the running backs,
you can't connect with anybody. Uh, But he's Tom Brady.
(17:00):
He's the goat, and he's a free agent and he's
gonna want to keep playing. It's not going to be
in Tampa. And like I'll say this, like, would you
rather Tom Brady at twenty million a year or whatever
he's willing to play for? And it won't be a
back you know, a backbreaker. He won't be out to
(17:20):
break the bank. He's out to win a Super Bowl?
Would you rather that? Or trade for Aaron Rodgers at
sixty million dollars next year? You know what I mean? Like,
as as bad as he looks right now, I still
think his season on the Hall has been markedly better
than Aaron Rodgers. So yeah, it's gonna be another bizarre,
crazy ass quarterback off season. Well, for me, it's easy.
(17:43):
The question is is the quarterback named Zach Wilson. If
the answer is no, I'm okay with it. I'm alright,
I'm alright, it's not that I'm okay with it. Sure,
And look, you know what he is wrestless and we've
been talking about this for a long time. And I
told you guys, I don't know four or five weeks ago,
that hey, he ain't happy and something's gonna change on
this staff and the floor is probably in trouble and
(18:05):
he's not coming back with this, you know, uh, Mike
f and White, Zack Wilson combo, there's gonna be somebody
else at it in And now he's on the record
saying I'll pay whatever I have to do to get
a quarterback. Um, yes, I think this would absolutely be
his speed. I don't think the Baltimore Ravens have any
(18:26):
intention of trading Lamar Jackson in the a f C.
Like I think they will avoid that, um if at
all possible. Um, but yeah, like does he do? And
I don't see Tom Brady with the Jets, But like,
could I see the Jets doing literally five two point oh?
(18:46):
And then I'm like I could totally who couldn't see
Like I could totally see that, totally see it, And
I mean, is that where Rogers wants to be? No?
But like could he talk himself into a scenario where
he gets permission to talk to the Jets, you know,
and what he says, money is no object. And we've
got a defense, and I'm gonna go, you know, get
(19:09):
you a few more pieces on offense, and we're going
to make sure that we buttressed this offensive line, and
then you know we're good. Like I I yeah, like,
I like I can see that. I could like I
can sit um and then there's you know, Garoppolo maybe
(19:33):
or whatever. But I could see the Aaron Rodgerson look
at that. We got the maybe the demise of an
American icon. And you made it about the flipping Jets.
There is j I'm already ahead. I'm thinking now we're
ten years away from Jordan's love. Every time of quarterbacks
there ends in Green Bay. We got them for a
couple of seasons until their biceps go out the other side. Conversely,
(19:58):
as bad as it's looked for Tom Brady in company,
hey twenty four and there's still a puncher's chance, uh
Dak Prescott seven. Most of that the Mrs Early three touchdowns,
the little boot for the touchdown run. I mean, he's
just been fantastic. And what was a good scoring defense
anyway for Tampa Bay has just been eviscerated. Yeah, he's um,
(20:23):
he's making it happen now. Tampa Bay did a lot
of twenty nine passing touchdowns this year, and they have
really suffered in that regard. So I did think, you know,
Dak over one and a half passing touchdowns or something
that I was on pretty strong. I think it's going
to be a very different test next week, you know,
traveling to San Francisco, UM against that defense. Let's see
(20:45):
if if he could do it again. It did look
to me like, you know, the first series, a lot
of jitters miss missing easy throws that one of those
could have easily ended up in a pick coming off
somebody's hand. I'm a cowboy skeptic generally at heart. I
tend to want to fade them. I tend to think
(21:06):
they're overvalued because of their brand recognition, because of them
always being on national television, because of their legion of
front running fans, or at least front running fans from
forty years ago. Just I've been a front runner a
long time. But I do think there's some come up
and waiting for them next week against a different sort
(21:28):
of challenge, but I also thought they'd lose this week,
so um, take that for what it's worth. But yes, look,
Dak Prescott is manage this game expertly after that first drive. Uh,
but I kind of feel like this game also has
a lot to do with Like Dak Prescott has been
able to exhale from pretty early on because the Bucks
(21:51):
offense has been so god awful. Yeah. But here's the
thing though, I mean, I was trying to do the
math in my head how many touchdowns it would be
for the Cowboys and missed extra points probably Brett mar
to actually have the game be tied. I I think
that if you start taking extra points away eight five
to nothing, the game becomes tied. If you missed seven
(22:11):
eight extra points, I thing thats how comes. Yeah, Well, look,
if you're on the over um as perhaps someone on
this phone call is, you're you're sitting here saying, my god,
there's a there's a damn touchdown worth of missed extra
points and Brady throwing his first you know, red zone
(22:32):
pick as a member of the Bucks, and if you
add another thirteen to this, you're starting to feel pretty
good about getting to forty six or forty seven, but
alas it's it ain't going it ain't gonna happen, so
super Wild Wild Card weekend. You alluded to him earlier,
Lamar Jackson. You know he goes and posts on social
(22:53):
media horror boss, snippy with everybody. Uh as as he's
wont to do, but an effort that was inspired except
for me, I'm going high instead of going low. Moment
at the goal line, Yeah, I'll take the high road,
both to take the low roaded, tremendous effort all around.
(23:17):
What's the feeling in Baltimore today? Who were the castings?
It's over. Everybody knows it's over. There'll be certain people
in the media trying to tell you otherwise, but you know,
believe what you're lying eyes and crying ears are telling you,
like you know, we've reached the stage of ugliness and
(23:40):
messiness and pettiness, and there's there. It's it's it's just
it's a shame, honestly, more than anything else. It's a
shame and it's sad. And you know, I live in
the city and you go back five years ago too,
what a mess the Ravens had become offensively and how
bereft of any ideas are create creativity. They were, and
(24:02):
that offense at the end of the Flacco era was
such a just a pathetic mess and nobody looked good
and nobody distinguished themselves. And people are playing, you know,
elimination games the last three weeks of the season, and
the stadium's half empty because people were just like, I'm
waving the white flag. I'm I don't, I'm not. I
do not endorse this product. This products garbage from an
(24:24):
offensive standpoint. And you get this bright, young, shiny, you know, effervescent,
embulent thing, and he beams rad like he just radiates positivity.
He beams positivity. He is so just sort of the
joy of football comes out of every pore in his body.
(24:47):
And it's big trust and it's this whole like different vibe.
And it wasn't like at the vanguard of the modern
passing game by any stretch of the imagination. But it
was creative. It was zigging when everybody el zagged, and
it was beautiful in its own sort of way. And
you're thinking, my god, he wont an m VP at
twenty two, like what does the future hold? The future
(25:12):
holding plays out of his workie contract and then they're
shopping him like, you know, the last time you ever
saw him in a Raven's uniform. He's being carried, you know,
helped up the steps and hobbling into an X ray room,
you know, for further evaluation. It's him cleaning out his
locker while the rest of the team is flying to Cincinnati.
(25:32):
It's him not being a part of their traveling party.
It's him having to sort of endure these slings and
arrows from all these various people in the media who
really don't have any true knowledge of what his medical
dossier actually is. Um. It's him taking the social media
to try to defend his credentials and provide his version
(25:53):
of the truth because he feels like the team has
been um woefully inadequate of of providing what he would
say is the truth. It's just it's just ugly and
it's messy, and it's it's sad. But he ain't gonna
be here next year. But but let me let me
ask you this, who has a better chance of coming
back to his team, Lamar Jackson to the Ravens or
(26:15):
Brandon Staley to the Chargers. Brandon Staley, I mean, I
just don't think that owners to group wants to do
the right thing, is capable to do with the right thing.
You know, when there's a spanos here, spanos, there spanos
spanos everywhere, and you'd have to blow them all out
and and and take them all out of the equation,
and you know, let Sean Payton bring his posse in.
(26:39):
I mean who, I was having this conversation with the
GM the other over the weekend, Like I think the
last time they've had a proven NFL head coach at
the Helm, was it Marty? Yeah? I think so. I
think it was Marty. Yeah. I mean it's a long
time ago. Yeah, yeah, Like they just they and even
that they picked cheap by j Smith over the head
(27:03):
like they chose the like the the route of cheapness
over the route of greatness. Right, they chose the GM
over the coach who the GM made a fraction of
the coach, And had they just kept the coach and
brought in a GM could work with the coach that
Philip Rivers era of you know what I mean, Chargers
(27:25):
football could have been different. Like it's they just don't
really seem all that inclined to do the right thing.
But I will say this, I mean, there's no freaking
way they can bring Joe Lombardi back. They the way
they called games for that quarterback just turns my stomach.
It makes me want to puke all over myself, like
they they called games for Justin Herbert, like they had
(27:48):
chased Daniel running the offense. He's not twitter at Jason
Locking for hopefully not puking. I'm good although this that
that's Tom Brady two point conversion didn't give me a
little bit of dry oh boy follow up on Twitter
at Jason Lock and foora. That's at Jason Locke and Flora.
(28:10):
Check him out Washington Post as well. Odyssey Jay has
always buddy appreciated my incredible stuff from Jason Lacking for
watching the chart makes want to throw up all over myself.
Now make me want to throw up. I want to
throw up all over myself, all over my not on you,
not a projectile vomiting situation. Be sure to catch live

we'll get to the Jaguars Chargers coming up in a
second but worldwide leader in sports. Facing a fourth and
four with the Cowboys up six over Tampa Bay, they
(28:57):
don't try the field goal because you know, Brett mar
has missed four extra points tonight. They show him on
the sideline standing there looking al moros. They decided to
go for it, and somehow the Bucks lose c d Lamb.
I don't know how you lose the best receiver on
the field, but they lose him. It was like a
rub play where he comes out of the slot and
(29:19):
it looks like he was getting They thought he was
getting passed off to somebody deeper down the field, and
instead he's wide open at the goal line. There's no
Bucks defender within ten yards of him. Touchdown, Dallas, thirty
one to six. You did see it jump up and
down like a five year old as they realized what
was happening. Before the ball even hit Lamb's hands, they
recognized the breakdown in converge, like come on, how throw me? H?
(29:43):
He's that wide open for a touchdown? That makes it
thirty to six. And this is when I really, you know,
I can't believe ESPN screwed this up, Like it's it's
still like you say, you could say certain things about ESPN,
but coverage of games, SPN and Fox, they're all really good. Somehow,
(30:04):
ESPN gets caught showing a replay of Lamb's touchdown and
they don't show mars extra point attempt until after it's
kicked and it's three quarters of the way through the
goal post. Because he finally made his first extra point
of the night. He's now one for five and and
it's the biggest piece of drama that we've seen. It's
(30:26):
a huge storyline. We've never seen this before. I think
you gotta go back to nineteen thirty two, the last
time somebody missed this many extra points in the game
in a row. It's a criticized I don't think it
even happened then. I think that's only as far as
the stats go. We just go back to two. I mean,
this is that's why. So you've never said and really
you you you joined the extra point already in progress. Seriously,
(30:47):
how do you because you needed another breakdown of a
busted coverage and you needed to show it one more
time instead of watching him come on into the field
like that was the most dramatic thing scoring to touch.
You down who the hell cares? And Dak Prescott's fourth
touchdown throw of the night. Yeah, the coverage was bad.
The story that everybody keeps following, Hell Fenley's obsessed with
it is that the guy keeps missing, right, It's not
(31:13):
about what's going on in terms of the offense anymore.
It was all right, here comes the kicker because they
showed him, like you said before, what should have been
an easy chip shot field go down with this. We're
just going for it. And then they get the busted
coverage in the touchdown pass and so he kep trots out.
We never get to see it. We never get to
see the setup. We never get to see that anxious moment. No,
(31:34):
I mean, you gotta tell me that story. You gotta
tell me that story and show me him coming out here. Mean,
this is the game. This, Yeah, Dak playing great. We
just watch a touch and okay, but even after it
goes through, you got about what two seconds of his
guys coming and slapped my head before they cut back
out to another break. Okay, that's great. I mean, this
is the story. How do you miss that? How do
you how do you miss that? I mean, I don't know,
(31:56):
you know, what right. You don't reminds me of is
Um and I I think about this. This is twenty
years ago. Remember when the big moment at the v
m as when Madonna kissed Britney Spears, Right, Okay, so
they were all doing that. It was Madonna and Christina
Aguilera and Britney Spears. And because the direct, because they
were they were so conscious of it, they wanted to
show that, and they cut to Justin timber Lake right away,
(32:18):
because you know, Justin timber Lake and Brittany did a
song about this, so you know they don't even Yeah,
so no one ever has talked about that because Madonna
kissed Gristina Agulara too. Because we're gonna cut away, how
do you how are you cutting away? You can show
Justin timber Lake something. How do you cut away? I
want to go, how do you cut away? You know
(32:40):
this is the story, Okay, Mars, Yeah, let's you what
do you mean, Let's show this. I don't care about
a replace. Show me Brett Mahert walking onto the field.
I'm not gonna make this. I'm not saying that he's
got some swag. Come out with a different look at
a gait that he had. I'm not gonna make it.
I'm not gonna make it. I'm not show me that.
That's it. That's onlybody cares. But people are tuning into
(33:00):
that game just to see that, Oh they scored again. Wait,
you want to tune it for the extra point? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
i'llell you about it after I have to see the
extra point. Now, what do you got? Frostburg? Speaking of
kissing guys, which is greater the number of points the
Cowboys have thirty one or the amount of women that
Jerry Jones and Michael Orvin have kissed in the sweet
I think I just started inviting random people into the
owner's box to give hugs and kids on fire. There
(33:23):
is lots of hugging and kissing going on in the
Cowboys box right now. There's lots of handshakes and high fives,
and Irvin's got his arm around Jerry Jones and they're
just laughing hysterically. They might even kiss tonight. Yeah. That's
the that's and then that's the party and wrong to positivity.
That's where parties in the Cowboys Uh luxury sweet Box.
When did you want to be part of that? I mean,
(33:44):
we had that Cowboys bus. Sure, omember, Jerry's taking you
kissing people all not. That's where the party is. So
we're going greater. Oh yeah, no, no, it's over now.
If if Marid made all his feet p t s now,
we might have added different different results. I gotta get
down there to kick in the second half, Jerry, they're
not on the team. I can come down and kick.
(34:06):
I've I've been, I've talked to Mike. I'm actually on
the emergency roster and I can walk in. They made
me active for tonight just in case this can happen.
So I gotta go put my shoulder pads on and
get down there. I'm still gonna kick in my shoes
and my dress pants, but I gotta put the shoulder
pads on just to look like a kicker. So I'm
gonna get out there and do it. I gotta say
photoshop Jerry into UH Kickers uniform with the little shoulder
(34:28):
pads is one of my favorite images of the night.
It was better than grogu. Now you hold this right
or I'll cut you after the game. Yes, sir, Mr
Jones or whatever you want. Put it on a tee
for me. It's a lot easier for me to kick
off a te al right, great, thank you, I appreciate that.
At first swing Jerry forward to try to kick it
through Mike and Swollen. Of coming up next, we got
(34:49):
a big bull prediction about this game. To tell you
about what's coming up tomorrow and are we watching the
end of Tom Brady in Tampa? That's next? From the

but if the Cowboys get out to like a sixty
five nothing lead and mar misses all the extra points,
they're gonna be in a lot of trouble. Yeah, I mean,
you really could come back. I mean, we've seen some
crazy things in the postseason. That Super wild Card weekend.
(01:07):
I had to change the way I was doing the
pronunciation of it. It doesn't flow. It's now super wild
Card weekend. Super was crazy, super wild Card, super wild
Card super super wild has to be or is it
super wild wild Card weekend? It is not just a
wild Card weekend, it's super wild wild Card week Now,
(01:30):
you're just making it longer. I was just trying to
change the emphasist on this Elbin That's what she said. Uh, yes,
it really. I'm telling you three or four more touchdowns
by the Cowboys and three or four more missed extra points,
probably Brett Marr and I think the game is tied.
I think that's if the Cowboy has been deduct yes. Uh.
(01:51):
And speaking of touchdowns, where we are right now it
is now twenty four to nothing, the Cowboys with the
lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a touchdown pass just
seconds ago. Dak Prescott has been phenomenal. Uh three touchdowns
now two forty one yards passing. But let me just
(02:12):
say this, it looked like he ran out of the
back of the end Yeah. It may get called back,
and may get called back because he did look like
he ran out of the back of the end zone.
I think upon further review, they're going to find that.
Uh or Lofsky did, Yeah, well he wasn't. Michael Gallup
wasn't running in fear. He was just he just lost
three was on the field, So I think it's gonna
get called back. They're in a commercial break right now,
(02:33):
so it's still gonna wind up being eighteen nothing. But hey,
eighteen nothing. Hey, we've seen people blow big leads, so
you know this is during. This's just not a wild
guard super wild. So even if it's eighteen nothing. I mean, hey,
even if this touchdown count doesn't matter, it doesn't because
(02:53):
you know mar is gonna miss the extra point. So
it's gonna be still a three score game for Tom Brady.
Just go for two every time. I thought you'd do
that after the second one, but apparently not. Yes tonight
for the Cowboys, it has been an absolute domination of
Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Eighteen nothing there on the
two yard line, and again this touchdown pass is gonna
get called back because of Michael goppos out in the
(03:15):
end zone and then came back in. But it has
been all Dallas. Brady has looked awful. The only thing
the Buccaneers have going for him is Yes, Cowboys kicker
Brett Mars something we have never seen. He missed all
three extra points in the first half. This was a
three touchdown first half by the Cowboys, and instead of
twenty one nothing, it's eighteen nothing. But they are about
(03:36):
to add more points, whether it's by a touchdown or field.
I think at that field they get those three points back.
I think anything the Bucks, the Dallas kicks they give
to Tampa Bay, I think that's what happens. Yeah, that's yeah.
This has been a miserable game. You had a dubious
roughing the pastor call. I'm gonna argue with that call
(03:56):
until I'm blew in the face or six ft under,
whichever comes first. But I can't hold my breath and
make my point. Is that that the body weight on
a on a quarterback, if you're running through him, that's
kind of gonna happen. You're not playing leap frog. It's
not like he went and did the whole Cogan who's
in attendance, did the big leg drop, the kamala, the
ugundan Be's giants splash, none of that stuff. Just took
(04:20):
him down. You want to tell me he got up
around the neck and head and may have grazed the helmet.
All right, now, we we talked about letter versus spirit
of the law and all but ever since that point
and that extended the drive right after a couple of
three and outs that Dak Prescott has could not miss,
could not miss. Just every throw has been pinpoint. You
(04:41):
had that beautiful call at the at the goal line,
which was the call was great. The call to go
for it was as obvious as the nose on your face,
because yeah, Brady, go drive ninety eight yards on good, look, good,
do that again. We saw what you did the last
drive fourteen seventy yards. Yeah, and then he gave us
(05:02):
the ball, so yeah, go try and do it again.
So it's one of those games that, uh, the end
can't come soon enough, and is it really the end?
I'll tell you it has really been something. We could
talk about how complicated other banks make it dradeam credit
card rewards, or we could talk about how with Discover
you can redeem you rewards for cashing any amount at
any time. I mean, talk about amazing. Learn more at
(05:24):
discovered dot com. Slash redeem rewards terms they do apply well.
After watching the replay and seeing it as many times
we're watching live history. Because here's Brett maherr on for
an extra point. The touchdown stands. Details on that in
a second. Could Brett mar missed his fourth straight extra
point in the game tonight, and he missed it he
(05:45):
jointed off the upright. He has missed four extra points tonight. Wow,
twenty four to nothing. Four extra points. That's I mean,
he's trying to say, nobody will ever take my row
from I want this record. He has missed four extra points.
The first three he missed wide right, or the first
(06:06):
two he missed wide right. Then he then he hooked
it left, and now he hit it wide right again
and it joinked off the top of the upright, uh,
the very top of the upright. So he I don't
know that it would have been good. Even if he
kicked a little bit higher still like it would have
been no good. But he has now missed four extra points.
Four you have you have a one job. He also
(06:29):
missed the P A D that he kicked in the
getting drilled against the Commanders. Now, overall five goes back
to the wrestling analogies. Five. So let me just say
this first, because now we're twenty four nothing Cowboys and
and Trevor Lawrence is coming in to play quarterback now
for Tampa Bay because you know it's Florida, it's a
short trip. Uh, can Mark kick for them next week?
(06:50):
I mean you can't have him back, but maybe Bill
mar maybe Bill Mark could. Sure. Yeah, at t J
this was competitively incorrect but actually done. Yeah, just got
an ugly and ultimately we saw another replay live action
and even in the first replays that look like Gallup
as he went across the back line had gone out
(07:13):
ever so slightly right, you know, just enough of the
painted grass. And then upon closer inspection of the Bruder film, uh,
you know, because they have a chip in the ball now.
I don't know if you found that out this weekend too,
but you know, all these revelations over the Super Wild
Car weekend, But it's another touchdown pass for Dak Prescott.
All these people sitting on tickets because there was a
(07:34):
lot of money bet on him throwing another pick and
extending his streak. Right now, eighteen of twenty three to
forty three and three. After that early couple of possessions,
struggles and drops, he's been fantastic. I'll tell you it.
Has been a game in which you have seen the
performance from one quarterback and another quarterback we thought we'd see,
(07:58):
but the roles are reversed. Right. What Doc has done
tonight is and he's done a masterful job at this
is he has bought a lot of time, and he
has looked off his receivers incredibly well because he's gotten
to the point where, hey, this is where I'm going
with the ball, and then he knows where his where
his secondary receiver is and he turns to make that
throw and they're wide open, and there are because either
(08:21):
Tampa is anticipating too much or they are just not
ready for the Cowboys passing attack. But watching him, watching
him throw, seeing him just you know, get when he
rolls off to the side, he rolls out to the side,
or or he stays back in the pocket. He definitely
gets Tampa going one way and then comes back and
just fires it in. And he has looked incredibly impressive
(08:44):
and it's really been something. And this is gonna wind
up being like his Hey, Doc has arrived game. Right here,
he is on a game that's gonna be incredibly highly rated.
And Doc has arrived and on the other side of this,
you have Tom Brady who looks like, and I'm not
I'm not exaggerated, it looks like he's having trouble throwing
the football, just throwing it. Because he has had a
(09:05):
handful of plays tonight where he has thrown the football
and there are wide receivers who are opened by five
yards and he's overthrown them. His last two passes of
the half where he threw the ball and he had
wide receivers wide open just to try to get the
ball down the field and he's ten yards over their
head or or five yards in the dirt in front
of them. He has looked absolutely awful tonight. And for
(09:27):
any team thinking, hey, we want to go get Tom
Brady in the offseason, this tape is not gonna make
them want to do that. It is not going to
make them say, yeah, we are a Tom Brady away
from winning the Super Bowl. He is. This is just
every every team that might want to go get him
is watching this game going, oh, maybe we go to
(09:48):
the draft, Hey may may maybe we called Jimmy G.
Let's call Jimmy G. Jimmy can today healthy when it
doesn't matter, makes no difference. Let's tell it right, because
you you look at this game, and there have been
moments throughout the season, right and some have dismissed his
entire campaign. Numbers are still there, and anybody that had
(10:08):
the over forty two and a half while you're getting there,
there's no question about that, uh or forty three and
a half. But we're we're looking at a situation whereby
there's no separation. The return of Jensen on the offensive
line has offered little to no support and resistance, and
you already don't have a run game, so there's no
(10:29):
respect for any semblance of all right, we're gonna try
to run with white or four net. We'll give them
their yards because you're not gonna be able to do
that consistently against the Dallas front or as you saw
a year, what was it, seventy seven yards a game.
It's you know, we point out as we got to
the playoffs, you have them, you have the Bangles, You've
got three or four teams where he's like, all right,
(10:50):
here's the obvious hitching the gidea and for the Buccaneers
trying to buy an extra time, any extra time with
a guy that can't move right with dad, he's sliding
you know, sideline to sideline, buying time second receiver, third
receiver or whatever and finding the open man. Brady doesn't
have that that luxury because Michael Parsons is in his
(11:10):
face at every every down and then he limped off
at halftime, still awaiting some word there. But the pressure
hasn't ceased because now it's for nothing. Sorry, I wanted
to make sure I got that right, that he missed
that fourth twenty four nothing, so you have the It's
(11:31):
just everybody wants their piece of Brady at this point. Uh,
he may have an opportunity to miss a fifth extra
point in a couple of minutes because Brady just completed
a pass to Chris Godwin, who fumbled. The Cowboys recovered
they have the ball deep in Tampa Bay territory, but
the play is being reviewed to see whether or not
Godwin had possession. Uh. When he went down, he caught
(11:54):
the ball, took a step, got hit and when he
hit the ground, he hit the ground, his back hit
the ground, and he was holding the ball. That's when
the ball popped out. This is gonna be a close,
close overtime. This is where the call on the field
might wind up being the reason, because is there enough
to overturn it? I I don't know, man, this is
gonna wind up being Cowboys football. Can we also after
(12:15):
Super wild Super wild Card weekend, super pull back and
just say I don't trust officiating, like not that I
ever did. And this year has been awful and so
many respects, but after this weekend, I truly have no
idea what's going to come out of the next the
officials mount By the way, anyway, shouldn't be noted that
the head official in this game is undefeated against Cowboys
(12:39):
opponents in his career. Cowboys are eight no when this
guy is official. Scott Foster is officiating. This might as
well be nice Twitter and out about a fresca Mike
gets swollen dome the Jason Smith showing my best friend
Mike Harmon live from the tirect dot com studios. We
are just getting started. We have tonight's game, this blowout
(13:00):
that is causing all kinds of eyes to pop open,
Mars missed extra points, We had the rest of Super
wild Card weekend to break down and the Jaguars coming
back keep it right here, and we have to do it.
I'm sorry, we have to. I haven't said I haven't
said the name of your team, though I had to.
I've just said although you know later when we actually
(13:22):
do this story, you're gonna not gonna wanna listen. Yeah,
we're not doing the story America. Ah uh so. Yeah.
Upon further review, the fumble is overturned. The Bucks keep
the football. They have it now down twenty four nothing,
nine mintes to go. In the third quarter, they overturned
the fumble, saying Godwin didn't have possession when he went down, which, boy,
(13:45):
this is one of those. Oh man, it's a tough one.
That's really tough. But they gave the ball back to
Tampa Bay again, twenty four nothing. They have the football
and Brett mar continuing to miss extra points to keep
it right here, Jason lock and for coming up next,
we go all the latest on this game, Lamar Jackson,
Tom Brady, keep it right here. This is Fox. Be

they do apply. Well. We have Jason lock and Ford
stopping by right now. But just to get you caught
up with what's going on in the game, Cowboys have
(14:49):
the football. They are up twenty four nothing. We told
you about the turnover that was overruled on the field,
that Chris Godwin fumble. The ball goes back to Tampa.
Tampa has to wind up hunting. What's starting to get
a lot of attention is when you watch this play
in which the Cowboys get the turnover, Malik Hooker is
running it back. Tom Brady tries to run in at
(15:10):
the end of the play, slide and trip and side
swipe Hooker in a dirty s play from behind. He
doesn't get there. He doesn't get him uh and Hooker
is able to evade him because he doesn't see a
lot of jokes said so that Mac Jones says, I
learned from watching you. Okay, the other part was that Godwin.
(15:31):
If you see from the overhead again he goes down
hard and like his head hits and I don't know
that was one of those. Alright, make make sure he's
good too. So there's a lot flowing. But yes, the
slide tackle, Uh, he got his own guy. Man, it's
a dirty play and again uncalled joining us now on
(15:52):
the hotline. The man who always calls and we always
answer oddyssey NFL Insider Washington Post. Check him out on
Twitter at Jason locking fora It is the afore mentioned
Jason Locking Forward. Hey, what's happening, buddy? What's going on? Guys?
This is this is uh one way traffic here. You know.
First thing I want to say is this is that
(16:13):
you know, we spent today talking about Tom Brady and
his future away from Tampa Bay, and I'm watching this
game and I go, Brady is not really making any
other team in the offseason. Go hey, we want to
go get you. He looks absolutely awful tonight. J Yeah,
it's it's bad. Um. From the first drive until now,
(16:36):
it's been bad. It was bad. The one actually sustained
possession that they were able to march down the field,
and then he shows the red zone pick, which is
something he's never really done. Yeah. I mean, he can't
connect with Evans, he can't connect with the running backs,
you can't connect with anybody. Uh, But he's Tom Brady.
(17:00):
He's the goat, and he's a free agent and he's
gonna want to keep playing. It's not going to be
in Tampa. And like I'll say this, like, would you
rather Tom Brady at twenty million a year or whatever
he's willing to play for? And it won't be a
back you know, a backbreaker. He won't be out to
(17:20):
break the bank. He's out to win a Super Bowl?
Would you rather that? Or trade for Aaron Rodgers at
sixty million dollars next year? You know what I mean? Like,
as as bad as he looks right now, I still
think his season on the Hall has been markedly better
than Aaron Rodgers. So yeah, it's gonna be another bizarre,
crazy ass quarterback off season. Well, for me, it's easy.
(17:43):
The question is is the quarterback named Zach Wilson. If
the answer is no, I'm okay with it. I'm alright,
I'm alright, it's not that I'm okay with it. Sure,
And look, you know what he is wrestless and we've
been talking about this for a long time. And I
told you guys, I don't know four or five weeks ago,
that hey, he ain't happy and something's gonna change on
this staff and the floor is probably in trouble and
(18:05):
he's not coming back with this, you know, uh, Mike
f and White, Zack Wilson combo, there's gonna be somebody
else at it in And now he's on the record
saying I'll pay whatever I have to do to get
a quarterback. Um, yes, I think this would absolutely be
his speed. I don't think the Baltimore Ravens have any
(18:26):
intention of trading Lamar Jackson in the a f C.
Like I think they will avoid that, um if at
all possible. Um, but yeah, like does he do? And
I don't see Tom Brady with the Jets, But like,
could I see the Jets doing literally five two point oh?
(18:46):
And then I'm like I could totally who couldn't see
Like I could totally see that, totally see it, And
I mean, is that where Rogers wants to be? No?
But like could he talk himself into a scenario where
he gets permission to talk to the Jets, you know,
and what he says, money is no object. And we've
got a defense, and I'm gonna go, you know, get
(19:09):
you a few more pieces on offense, and we're going
to make sure that we buttressed this offensive line, and
then you know we're good. Like I I yeah, like,
I like I can see that. I could like I
can sit um and then there's you know, Garoppolo maybe
(19:33):
or whatever. But I could see the Aaron Rodgerson look
at that. We got the maybe the demise of an
American icon. And you made it about the flipping Jets.
There is j I'm already ahead. I'm thinking now we're
ten years away from Jordan's love. Every time of quarterbacks
there ends in Green Bay. We got them for a
couple of seasons until their biceps go out the other side. Conversely,
(19:58):
as bad as it's looked for Tom Brady in company,
hey twenty four and there's still a puncher's chance, uh
Dak Prescott seven. Most of that the Mrs Early three touchdowns,
the little boot for the touchdown run. I mean, he's
just been fantastic. And what was a good scoring defense
anyway for Tampa Bay has just been eviscerated. Yeah, he's um,
(20:23):
he's making it happen now. Tampa Bay did a lot
of twenty nine passing touchdowns this year, and they have
really suffered in that regard. So I did think, you know,
Dak over one and a half passing touchdowns or something
that I was on pretty strong. I think it's going
to be a very different test next week, you know,
traveling to San Francisco, UM against that defense. Let's see
(20:45):
if if he could do it again. It did look
to me like, you know, the first series, a lot
of jitters miss missing easy throws that one of those
could have easily ended up in a pick coming off
somebody's hand. I'm a cowboy skeptic generally at heart. I
tend to want to fade them. I tend to think
(21:06):
they're overvalued because of their brand recognition, because of them
always being on national television, because of their legion of
front running fans, or at least front running fans from
forty years ago. Just I've been a front runner a
long time. But I do think there's some come up
and waiting for them next week against a different sort
(21:28):
of challenge, but I also thought they'd lose this week,
so um, take that for what it's worth. But yes, look,
Dak Prescott is manage this game expertly after that first drive. Uh,
but I kind of feel like this game also has
a lot to do with Like Dak Prescott has been
able to exhale from pretty early on because the Bucks
(21:51):
offense has been so god awful. Yeah. But here's the
thing though, I mean, I was trying to do the
math in my head how many touchdowns it would be
for the Cowboys and missed extra points probably Brett mar
to actually have the game be tied. I I think
that if you start taking extra points away eight five
to nothing, the game becomes tied. If you missed seven
(22:11):
eight extra points, I thing thats how comes. Yeah, Well, look,
if you're on the over um as perhaps someone on
this phone call is, you're you're sitting here saying, my god,
there's a there's a damn touchdown worth of missed extra
points and Brady throwing his first you know, red zone
(22:32):
pick as a member of the Bucks, and if you
add another thirteen to this, you're starting to feel pretty
good about getting to forty six or forty seven, but
alas it's it ain't going it ain't gonna happen, so
super Wild Wild Card weekend. You alluded to him earlier,
Lamar Jackson. You know he goes and posts on social
(22:53):
media horror boss, snippy with everybody. Uh as as he's
wont to do, but an effort that was inspired except
for me, I'm going high instead of going low. Moment
at the goal line, Yeah, I'll take the high road,
both to take the low roaded, tremendous effort all around.
(23:17):
What's the feeling in Baltimore today? Who were the castings?
It's over. Everybody knows it's over. There'll be certain people
in the media trying to tell you otherwise, but you know,
believe what you're lying eyes and crying ears are telling you,
like you know, we've reached the stage of ugliness and
(23:40):
messiness and pettiness, and there's there. It's it's it's just
it's a shame, honestly, more than anything else. It's a
shame and it's sad. And you know, I live in
the city and you go back five years ago too,
what a mess the Ravens had become offensively and how
bereft of any ideas are create creativity. They were, and
(24:02):
that offense at the end of the Flacco era was
such a just a pathetic mess and nobody looked good
and nobody distinguished themselves. And people are playing, you know,
elimination games the last three weeks of the season, and
the stadium's half empty because people were just like, I'm
waving the white flag. I'm I don't, I'm not. I
do not endorse this product. This products garbage from an
(24:24):
offensive standpoint. And you get this bright, young, shiny, you know, effervescent,
embulent thing, and he beams rad like he just radiates positivity.
He beams positivity. He is so just sort of the
joy of football comes out of every pore in his body.
(24:47):
And it's big trust and it's this whole like different vibe.
And it wasn't like at the vanguard of the modern
passing game by any stretch of the imagination. But it
was creative. It was zigging when everybody el zagged, and
it was beautiful in its own sort of way. And
you're thinking, my god, he wont an m VP at
twenty two, like what does the future hold? The future
(25:12):
holding plays out of his workie contract and then they're
shopping him like, you know, the last time you ever
saw him in a Raven's uniform. He's being carried, you know,
helped up the steps and hobbling into an X ray room,
you know, for further evaluation. It's him cleaning out his
locker while the rest of the team is flying to Cincinnati.
(25:32):
It's him not being a part of their traveling party.
It's him having to sort of endure these slings and
arrows from all these various people in the media who
really don't have any true knowledge of what his medical
dossier actually is. Um. It's him taking the social media
to try to defend his credentials and provide his version
(25:53):
of the truth because he feels like the team has
been um woefully inadequate of of providing what he would
say is the truth. It's just it's just ugly and
it's messy, and it's it's sad. But he ain't gonna
be here next year. But but let me let me
ask you this, who has a better chance of coming
back to his team, Lamar Jackson to the Ravens or
(26:15):
Brandon Staley to the Chargers. Brandon Staley, I mean, I
just don't think that owners to group wants to do
the right thing, is capable to do with the right thing.
You know, when there's a spanos here, spanos, there spanos
spanos everywhere, and you'd have to blow them all out
and and and take them all out of the equation,
and you know, let Sean Payton bring his posse in.
(26:39):
I mean who, I was having this conversation with the
GM the other over the weekend, Like I think the
last time they've had a proven NFL head coach at
the Helm, was it Marty? Yeah? I think so. I
think it was Marty. Yeah. I mean it's a long
time ago. Yeah, yeah, Like they just they and even
that they picked cheap by j Smith over the head
(27:03):
like they chose the like the the route of cheapness
over the route of greatness. Right, they chose the GM
over the coach who the GM made a fraction of
the coach, And had they just kept the coach and
brought in a GM could work with the coach that
Philip Rivers era of you know what I mean, Chargers
(27:25):
football could have been different. Like it's they just don't
really seem all that inclined to do the right thing.
But I will say this, I mean, there's no freaking
way they can bring Joe Lombardi back. They the way
they called games for that quarterback just turns my stomach.
It makes me want to puke all over myself, like
they they called games for Justin Herbert, like they had
(27:48):
chased Daniel running the offense. He's not twitter at Jason
Locking for hopefully not puking. I'm good although this that
that's Tom Brady two point conversion didn't give me a
little bit of dry oh boy follow up on Twitter
at Jason Lock and foora. That's at Jason Locke and Flora.
(28:10):
Check him out Washington Post as well. Odyssey Jay has
always buddy appreciated my incredible stuff from Jason Lacking for
watching the chart makes want to throw up all over myself.
Now make me want to throw up. I want to
throw up all over myself, all over my not on you,
not a projectile vomiting situation. Be sure to catch live
(28:35):
editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays
at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon. Look,
we'll get to the Jaguars Chargers coming up in a
second but worldwide leader in sports. Facing a fourth and
four with the Cowboys up six over Tampa Bay, they
(28:57):
don't try the field goal because you know, Brett mar
has missed four extra points tonight. They show him on
the sideline standing there looking al moros. They decided to
go for it, and somehow the Bucks lose c d Lamb.
I don't know how you lose the best receiver on
the field, but they lose him. It was like a
rub play where he comes out of the slot and
(29:19):
it looks like he was getting They thought he was
getting passed off to somebody deeper down the field, and
instead he's wide open at the goal line. There's no
Bucks defender within ten yards of him. Touchdown, Dallas, thirty
one to six. You did see it jump up and
down like a five year old as they realized what
was happening. Before the ball even hit Lamb's hands, they
recognized the breakdown in converge, like come on, how throw me? H?
(29:43):
He's that wide open for a touchdown? That makes it
thirty to six. And this is when I really, you know,
I can't believe ESPN screwed this up, Like it's it's
still like you say, you could say certain things about ESPN,
but coverage of games, SPN and Fox, they're all really good. Somehow,
(30:04):
ESPN gets caught showing a replay of Lamb's touchdown and
they don't show mars extra point attempt until after it's
kicked and it's three quarters of the way through the
goal post. Because he finally made his first extra point
of the night. He's now one for five and and
it's the biggest piece of drama that we've seen. It's
(30:26):
a huge storyline. We've never seen this before. I think
you gotta go back to nineteen thirty two, the last
time somebody missed this many extra points in the game
in a row. It's a criticized I don't think it
even happened then. I think that's only as far as
the stats go. We just go back to two. I mean,
this is that's why. So you've never said and really
you you you joined the extra point already in progress. Seriously,
(30:47):
how do you because you needed another breakdown of a
busted coverage and you needed to show it one more
time instead of watching him come on into the field
like that was the most dramatic thing scoring to touch.
You down who the hell cares? And Dak Prescott's fourth
touchdown throw of the night. Yeah, the coverage was bad.
The story that everybody keeps following, Hell Fenley's obsessed with
it is that the guy keeps missing, right, It's not
(31:13):
about what's going on in terms of the offense anymore.
It was all right, here comes the kicker because they
showed him, like you said before, what should have been
an easy chip shot field go down with this. We're
just going for it. And then they get the busted
coverage in the touchdown pass and so he kep trots out.
We never get to see it. We never get to
see the setup. We never get to see that anxious moment. No,
(31:34):
I mean, you gotta tell me that story. You gotta
tell me that story and show me him coming out here. Mean,
this is the game. This, Yeah, Dak playing great. We
just watch a touch and okay, but even after it
goes through, you got about what two seconds of his
guys coming and slapped my head before they cut back
out to another break. Okay, that's great. I mean, this
is the story. How do you miss that? How do
you how do you miss that? I mean, I don't know,
(31:56):
you know, what right. You don't reminds me of is
Um and I I think about this. This is twenty
years ago. Remember when the big moment at the v
m as when Madonna kissed Britney Spears, Right, Okay, so
they were all doing that. It was Madonna and Christina
Aguilera and Britney Spears. And because the direct, because they
were they were so conscious of it, they wanted to
show that, and they cut to Justin timber Lake right away,
(32:18):
because you know, Justin timber Lake and Brittany did a
song about this, so you know they don't even Yeah,
so no one ever has talked about that because Madonna
kissed Gristina Agulara too. Because we're gonna cut away, how
do you how are you cutting away? You can show
Justin timber Lake something. How do you cut away? I
want to go, how do you cut away? You know
(32:40):
this is the story, Okay, Mars, Yeah, let's you what
do you mean, Let's show this. I don't care about
a replace. Show me Brett Mahert walking onto the field.
I'm not gonna make this. I'm not saying that he's
got some swag. Come out with a different look at
a gait that he had. I'm not gonna make it.
I'm not gonna make it. I'm not show me that.
That's it. That's onlybody cares. But people are tuning into
(33:00):
that game just to see that, Oh they scored again. Wait,
you want to tune it for the extra point? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
i'llell you about it after I have to see the
extra point. Now, what do you got? Frostburg? Speaking of
kissing guys, which is greater the number of points the
Cowboys have thirty one or the amount of women that
Jerry Jones and Michael Orvin have kissed in the sweet
I think I just started inviting random people into the
owner's box to give hugs and kids on fire. There
(33:23):
is lots of hugging and kissing going on in the
Cowboys box right now. There's lots of handshakes and high fives,
and Irvin's got his arm around Jerry Jones and they're
just laughing hysterically. They might even kiss tonight. Yeah. That's
the that's and then that's the party and wrong to positivity.
That's where parties in the Cowboys Uh luxury sweet Box.
When did you want to be part of that? I mean,
(33:44):
we had that Cowboys bus. Sure, omember, Jerry's taking you
kissing people all not. That's where the party is. So
we're going greater. Oh yeah, no, no, it's over now.
If if Marid made all his feet p t s now,
we might have added different different results. I gotta get
down there to kick in the second half, Jerry, they're
not on the team. I can come down and kick.
(34:06):
I've I've been, I've talked to Mike. I'm actually on
the emergency roster and I can walk in. They made
me active for tonight just in case this can happen.
So I gotta go put my shoulder pads on and
get down there. I'm still gonna kick in my shoes
and my dress pants, but I gotta put the shoulder
pads on just to look like a kicker. So I'm
gonna get out there and do it. I gotta say
photoshop Jerry into UH Kickers uniform with the little shoulder
(34:28):
pads is one of my favorite images of the night.
It was better than grogu. Now you hold this right
or I'll cut you after the game. Yes, sir, Mr
Jones or whatever you want. Put it on a tee
for me. It's a lot easier for me to kick
off a te al right, great, thank you, I appreciate that.
At first swing Jerry forward to try to kick it
through Mike and Swollen. Of coming up next, we got
(34:49):
a big bull prediction about this game. To tell you
about what's coming up tomorrow and are we watching the
end of Tom Brady in Tampa? That's next? From the
