Speaker 1 (00:30):

(00:52):
tire buying should be. Thursday Night football, every night, the
best time of the year.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Every night. We jump right into a game going on.
It's hey.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Due to time constraints, we fast forward fourteen to six
early in the third quarter. The Ravens lead the Dolphins.
Time it on the field right now and we'll get
to Lamara Jackson a second. But this, you know, I
always say this about the Dolphins I say this team
makes no sense. You know, a little bit over a
year and five months ago at this maybe a year
(01:21):
and a half ago. At this time, they were supposed
to be the next great team in the NFL, all
their speed, Mike McDaniel was going to turn the league
on its ear. They had had a great year. They
played a playoff game in Kansas City when it was
minus fifty degrees and Mike McDaniel may have gotten frostbite.
Where it is you know those capri pants that I
(01:43):
wish it was colder?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, I really I got other clothes that I could wear.
I think his brain is still frozen. It might be.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
It might be because now you fast forward a year
and a half later, and now you're just wondering how
many guys are going to survive the purge TV Little
Halloween Ie. How many guys are gonna survive the purge
after this year? Is McDaniel gonna survive it? Is Tua
gonna survive it? Are they gonna trade eight chen? But
what are they gonna do?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
A question? First off, you got the mini purge because
the trade deadline being next week. Maybe maybe not in
terms of Chubb and Phillips and a number of players
on the defense, which has actually played quite well tonight
for them, But yeah, it's it is a very curious
time from the ownership on down. Because remember he was
(02:31):
yelling at someone because his car was parked too far
on the tarmac because he had to walk off a
plane and walk an extra twenty feet. He was berating
some poor guy that was working at the airport. So
you know, all the way down it's just a train wreck.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
And that's why tonight is the perfect example of this
game standing for the entire Dolphins franchise because this is
a first half in which the Dolphins had the ball
in the red zone four times. They've rolled out nearly
three hundred yards of total offense, had four incomplete passes
(03:06):
eight chn is over one hundred yards of total offense.
Miami has done whatever they want to do offensively, and
they're losing fourteen to six and the Ravens are driving
inside the Dolphins thirty yard line to add to their lead.
The Ravens moved the football as much as they could,
Lamar Jackson a couple of passes, But this game stands
(03:26):
for the question of just how did the Dolphins get
this bat? How is a game like this where the
Dolphins are not just losing, but they could be two
scores down, and you look at the numbers in the
stats and what they've been able to do in the
first half.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
We're going up and down the field. We are finding
a way to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And still here they are looking up at the scoreboard
and you're wondering, what just half of the Dolphins this
stands for their entire franchise.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, you just had a number of circumstances where the
old a shot yourself in the foot. Right. You had
a big thirty six yard pass play, probably the deepest
ball that to was thrown all year. Nice completion Wattle
that gets wiped out as Wattle gets wiped out. That
would have been on the jacked up segment back of
the day because you get a tripping penalty on Gordon,
(04:09):
which is gonna be much reviewed because he's kind of falling.
But by the strict interpretation of the law, not the
spirit but the letter of the interpretation, and the spirit
and the letter and the figuring it out exactly all
those words, but they take it away, right, they take
away a thirty six yard game. You had another circumstance
(04:29):
where a guy completes pass fumble returned to the seven,
sets him up at point blank range. That sets up
the Ravens first touchdown. Derreck Henry has a run of
fourteen yards. Otherwise nothing right, He's basically not even falling
forward in his other nine carries tonight, Like all these
things play together, but the turnover. They even had all
(04:50):
the extra bonuses on the kickoffs, right, big returns, those
kickoffs and punts. I almost thought that I was watching
it and paying attention to this, that perhaps it was
the penalty that they were facing the Ravens because of
the bad injury report with Lamar Jackson. Okay, you've got
to give up chunks of yardage, ah, bad special teams,
(05:10):
play special teams, guy, horrorball, you lose. But no, all
of that. You're waiting for the explosiveness. But it's like
I watched the Bears against this Ravens team last week
in Baltimore. What happened first quarter? A couple of great drives,
field goals, kicket field goals is losing football? Yeah, yeah,
field goals.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You guys would know, Hey, nobody knows losing football, like
the two of them.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Nobody I know.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I'm the expert. I'm losing football. I'm like, oh, bad football.
I'm like the I'm like the the Fanos of bad football.
Harmon's like the ebony Maw of bad football.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Oh I like him. Yeah, because I've seen I'll take
it from you're more the Einstein at bad football.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Okay, okay, and you could be the Edison of bad football.
I'll be Einstein. You be Edison because you have seen
tons of bad football. You just haven't seen as much
bad football as I have.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, you got me in the age a little bit.
I'm catching up though. Yeah. Well it doesn't. Well, I
got because I've also had expectations, probably more years than
you have. Yeah okay, well you see in terms of
a one, yeah, it would be more.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
But the thing is it doesn't matter. Like I'm three
years older than you, but I could be twenty years
older than you. I could be ten years younger than you.
I would still have seen worse football and more bad
football than you.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Well, and now you're the worst team in the AFC
East again, even though you're coming off a win. Yeah yeah,
This Dolphins team's actually looked pretty good the last couple
of weeks. Now now they're down fourteen to six, and
it's about to be worse, but all in like that
first half was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Another touchdown pass for Lamar Jackson, his third of the
night on first and goal Charlie Kohlar with a touchdown either.
He does nothing but throw touchdowns, short touchdowns and tight ends.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
That's what he does. He got two to Andrews and
now Charlie Kohlark.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And now look, Ozzie Newsome is suiting up to come
down and play in this nextico so we can get
a pass.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
He's anytime. All Big twelve Honoree twenty twenty Mackie Award
finalists for the cyclone. How much do you guys want
to bet right there that he thought that was Mark Andrews.
Oh probably he wanted to give my hat trick. Oh hey,
all right, hey, we scored, All right, die, we did it.
What has been funny, though, and well not funny for him,
is that Ricard has been getting absolutely worked over the
course of the night, right just getting run over. But
(07:21):
he's impeding guys just enough for Lamar to get the ball.
So he's doing his job, but not gracefully.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Now here's the thing about the Ravens Okay, here's Lamar
Jackson's bad stink. Hang on, cause I'm gonna confound you.
I'm gonna give you a confound you with my great
Halloween confounding. Take on the Ravens and Lamar Jackson. Okay,
all the big talk coming into this game was here
the Ravens. They're coming back. They're a playoff team. Roch
(07:50):
the Ravens. Here they come.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
They're gonna run the table because they're the favorite in
the division. Nothing's easier to say than we're gonna run
the table because you know, it's not about twelve thirteen
weeks worth of work.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's just I'm gonna say it and run it. Running
the table never happens. That never happens. You don't run
the table. No one runs the table. But I'm gonna
say this, the Ravens can win the division. They can,
but I'm not believing in them as a playoff team.
You mean as as a playoff team, like they can
(08:21):
get no, no, no, no, I know they can't even
get no. They're a player. They can win the division, yes,
but they're not a playoff team. Okay, you know I
can say this. Why can you say that?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Because the entire division stinks and no one should be
allowed to be in the playoffs. Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
They should just say, hey, sorry, it's a really bad
year for it's here in the AFC North. We're gonna
give our spot to somebody else a little bit more deserving.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Every team in that division stinks. You're saying they can
make it, and they can be on the schedule, but
then just say, I bequeath this to somebody else.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And they don't get the letter from Roger Goodell that
welcomes them to the playoffs. Wow, they don't get that.
We're gonna gift like it's an edible arrangement thing coming in.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Get that congratulations. We'll get that letter out to you.
Maybe we won't. I don't know you, but don't we
have a game this weekend. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
See, here's the thing, Uh boy, the AFC West is
really tough. We want to let all three of those
teams in. I mean not the Raiders obviously, but we're
gonna let those guys in, and and you're all gonna stay.
What's the letter actually say? Quote the Raven nevermore and
let's let's out.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
If you're be honest with me, do you really think
you deserve to be in the playoffs. Do you really
think one of those teams and that craptastic AFC North
deserves to be in the playoffs? The answer is no.
There you go until they can list it out, but
they're not a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
But this is where we get back into the age
old argument because they do all the scheduling based on
divisions and everything else. So uh, until we eradicate that
and just make them super conferences like college football is
eventually getting to, uh, then we still have this. You're
gonna get your occasional seven and nine, you're eight, eight
and ones. Bring me your nine and eight teams, because
(09:57):
with the right matchup they could still run the table.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What are you that your liberty. Bring me your nine
and eight teams. Bring me your teams that had a tie.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
At the end of the season. They can bring me
your miserable, down trodden squads that missed their quarterback for
a month at a time and they can come back.
But don't bring me those Jets. Leave the Jets out.
You bring me the Jets. We're not having this Concreleave
them and leave them out of this. But yeah, it's
it is a curiosity because coming into the day they
are the favorite to win the division. And as you say,
(10:26):
all it means is everybody else stepped back. This is
this is like that when you see in TV shows
when everybody's standing one line and they go, okay, whoever
would like to volunteer for this take one step forward,
and everybody but one person takes one step back and
they go, thank you for volunteering. What what do you mean,
I didn't do anything. You are tribute for this district
and now here comes and now here comes the movie
(10:48):
you volunteered.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Uh, that's kind of what this is. With the playoffs. Again,
they can win the division, not a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, this is why the like again that that Ali
Gordon is going to be looked at a million times
because he came off he was fighting with his coach
and fighting with everybody else like I fell. Yeah, then
he got hurt and then yeah, there's a lot of stuff,
bad stuff. But you know Devon a Chan hopefully you
played him in Fantasy because you got that his extra
five points off the PPR. As he's lined up in
(11:18):
the slot and they're trying to utilize him more effectively.
Again realizing you've got to generate offense from the pop
gun arm of TUA wherever you can.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I would really respect if John Harbaugh or Mike Tomlin
or Zach Taylor, I would really respect if at the
end of the sector, Jack Browning's quarterbacking again, I would
know they're playing the Bears, so.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I would never know, never can tell. I would really
respect an end of the year. They get through seventeen weeks,
and they had the post a game press conference, and
everybody wants to know, Hey, division champion. Obviously with the
horrible record you're playing the first week, how do you
feel about this great Charger team or the Chiefs team
(12:04):
coming into play and that, whether it's Tomlin or Harbaugh,
And they say, you know, I'll let you guys know
right now, we're declining this invitation. We really don't feel
that we put the body of work out there to
be a playoff team. And I don't want my guys
to read and hear all week how it's ridiculous that
they're in and and this doesn't make any sense, and
(12:26):
why aren't the better teams in and and uh, I
don't need my guys don't need to see that. So
we're gonna. Can't that be used as fuel to spur
them to greater heights now, because if because if we
could use it as we would have had a better year.
We would have won more games. We just couldn't. We
would have had that whether we saw it from our
beat writers in week eight, we can only win seven games.
If we were good, we would have won more. This
(12:48):
is it's it's it's we're a stain on the NFL.
This is this entire division. That last pass attempt from
Tua was a stain.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
We are giving this away. We're giving this to a
to a to a more deserving team. Congratulations to the
Jaguars who made their way through the South at nine
and eight, or to the Chiefs who dragged their way
into the playoffs, whatever whatever it's going to be. You
know the Bills, because you know, the New England plays
absolutely nobody easiest schedule in the NFL. So another or
just say, you know what we hear about that team
(13:18):
in the NFC that really they deserve to get in.
They really they fought. You know, we want to give
this to the Bears. We really want to see the
Bears get in here. So we're going to give up
our spot. And again, if you look at our division,
you understand nobody should feel good taking this because we
all stink. I've had about six one liners go through
my brain. All of them would end up being don't
(13:38):
be taking it to the third rail. Don't be doing that,
because that's what you sound like right now.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Come on, just because the divisions are perhaps antiquated in
the way of doing business and setting up schedules, until
they eradicate them, you succeed and proceed, and then your
coach can say, we made the playoffs. Okay, should you
have been there? No, you've used the word dedicated twice
in the last five minutes. You have a you have
a ten minute moratorium on eradicating. I know I'm using
(14:05):
it because I must eradicate hereh well, yeah, I mean
we all watch Austin Powers this week.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Stop the Fight, Happy Halloween Eve and Lamar Jackson and
I'm a very big Happy Halloween Eve. We'll get to
that in a second.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Pretty scary now, I do want to say this right
because a few minutes ago Mary brought back the Ghostbusters theme. Yeah,
for a few minutes there, that was kind of fun
and yes, a scary movie. It's a comedy. It's about
ghosts and about busting ghosts. So yeah, okay, gets play
around Halloween.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I don't know that there's a movie that I saw
when I was a kid and then watch it again
years later as an adult, and I said to myself,
this movie is not funny at all, like Ghostbusters is low.
It doesn't stand And part of it is maybe because
I know so much of the punchlines. But the punchlines
(17:06):
he's slimed me. That doesn't stand up. It's a lot
of stuff, doesn't it. But it's not. It's not a
thing without the visual bait Like, it doesn't stand up
in like we've been running all the other lines that
we do from movies and TV, like they live without
the visual in your head. It's the slime. It's it's
because he, you know, look like he's uh a lying
(17:27):
in filth.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Ghostbusters was such a huge hit and it's still got
staying power now they're they're revamping it and rebooting it
every few years. But I mean it, go back and
watch and you're gonna get forty five minutes in and
you're gonna go, wow, I am really bored.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It does not. The best part, honestly, is Rick.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Moranis and I you talk about a hot take the
best part of ghost because he's he comes into the movie, yes,
and he's hysterical, but he's.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
A really bad person. He keeps bringing people into his party.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what happened? You know? Yeah,
he's not as bad as Dumbledore waiting for from Willie
Wonkin the Chocolate Factory, but he is pretty evil. What
do you order like Plotters of Locks?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
He he gets in the movie and all of a sudden,
it's like, oh my goodness, dude, like there was they
used a CPR machine on this movie. Suddenly now it's fun.
He's the funniest part of the movie. But it's him,
it's Annie Potts, and it's you know, whatever you do
with Sigourney.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Annie Potts is somewhat fun. And I like the match
the matching of Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver is really
really like you could.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Have gone completely over the top with the anti Potts character,
which you didn't do.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Guy, Like what you would answer the phone say, gust Bastas,
gous bastas, I just brought you back home.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Go back and watch Ghosts. But you're gonna say, wow,
this movie does not stay. I have not revisited a
long long time.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You know what you'll do, You'll revisit the first forty
five minutes, and you're gonna say, wow, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I fell asleep three times. I can tell you this though.
For the first time, I saw a cover of the
Ghostbusters theme song that I never knew existed really by
who Bruce Springsteen opened a concert when he was playing
a concert on Halloween night. Ghost Posters with ghosts. Yeah,
(19:13):
all the time, but it was just kind of funny.
No bust you and the young girls. Ghostbusters? Yeah, what's that?
If you want to go back and watch it, gonna
need a VCR. Yeah, no, it's on. You could get
you get and played. Just why it was just on
a few weeks ago. I'll tell you Ghostbusters. Trust me,
you're gonna go and you go. Wow. Jason was right. Listen.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
You may not like some of my sports takes. You
may not like so I am never gonna steer you
wrong on movies, TV and food.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Those three things forgot you. May you may love some
of my sports I mean, I may still disagree with you,
but I know in your heart of heart it is
not hot take nonsense for the sake of click click.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
If you just open up yourself to what I tell
you about TV shows and movies, and food. You're gonna say,
I'm having a great life and you told me not to.
Why he saved me forty five five minutes to an
hour of my life? Why because I stopped rewatching Ghostbusters
after the first forty five minutes. But that I don't
know what to do with all this time. I'll go
buy a doughnut. That's what you go do. I've given you,
I've given you more life. There you go, Wow, the
(20:12):
gift of light now. And also you have to watch
the first forty five minutes to realize I'm right. So
you could just believe me right now and now, and
then then you have like two hours of your life
to go.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Hey, so this was really a faith base. You gotta
have faith in me, Yeah, in my because I really
thought you were gonna you went a completely different direction.
I really thought you were gonna go down the movie
I saw as a kid. That still freaks me the
hell out. Yeah, that's where I thought you were. Now
you just went with a big line. You went, you
have to have faith. Now.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
That's the big line from Fright Night, the original Fright
That's good one awesome still stands up side good movie,
still one of the most underrated horror movies of all time?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Would agree? Well, comes question fright night? Yeah you ready? Yeah, yeah, Frostburg.
What's more scary? Yeah, Ghostbusters or throwing the football? Oh
to a throwing the f That third down pass the
last possession was really something because, like I said, Ghostbusters
is boring and you really see the punchlines coming to
you have no idea what he's doing. Oh, you have
(21:07):
no idea what they're doing with the receivers. No, they know.
And that's the problem. Is three three to five yards
behind the guy. Maybe I get it, Maybe I don't.
Ahan's not looking up towards to run towards, you know,
then the other end zone, he's looking back towards his
because the throw is perennially behind him.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Look, here's another big epic fail for the Dolphins. Yeah, okay,
So what's today? Today's the day before Halloween, right day
before Halloween. Yeah, what's the big color for Halloween?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Orange? Right?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
What's one of the main colors of the Dolphins uniforms?
You saying there should be a orange? How are they
not wearing all orange uniforms on Halloween?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
How do you know?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Hey, we're playing everybody knows the schedule. Hey, the day
before Halloween, we're playing, how are they not working?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
All had fun with it and they say, hey, it's
a lights out game, so you're wearing.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
At least when you're losing twenty eight to six, people
will say you look good while you're losing instead of
just yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Losing in style is a good thing. Dolphins wouldn't be
scary if they played in the scarface map. Say hello
to Jalen Waddle, But I said, I said, the video
of all the people you know associated with the team
walking out and Halloween, you know, skeletons or whatever. And
now they're showing the dissatisfied crowd one after another. You
(22:22):
read lips. I can't say what they're saying on Aero
Winds because we will lose our FCC like a bunch
of poop mouse. There's a lot going on there. So
what is happening to the Miami Dolphins. Well, Lamar Jackson
is happening right now to the Miami Dolphins, and of
course you know Labar is going to be the play
of the day. Brought to you by tire Rack. For
over forty years, Tirerac's been helping customers find the right

not three. Make it four touchdowns for Lamar Jackson return
from injury. He is your play of the day and
(23:05):
down in seven passes put by who store another touchdown?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Andrews has two, Charlie Kohler has one. Rashad Bateman catching
the most recent touchdown about five minutes ago, making a
twenty eight to six lead for the Ravens late in
the third quarter. Al Michael's on Prime and Al Michaels
is saying, yeah, this is back when we first took over,
getting all those crap tastic games I Ravens Dolphins onto
Thursday nightg Thanks.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Now, there were some expectation you at least had the
return of Lamar Jackson, right. There might have been a
minute where he was like, Wow, I'm prepping for Tua
and the train wreck that is Miami and Snoop Huntley
coming off a big win against the Bears. Don't get
me wrong, but certainly at least got the gift when
they said no, no, no, we didn't mean to obfuscate the
(23:55):
injury rules. Lamar really really had a setback. All right, Well,
here we are four touchdown passes for Bateman. It's good
that he got in the plus side, because I'm sure
he was going to hear about it from the coaches
for his tirade earlier when he was crying for a
flag that didn't come and got penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct
deep in their own territory to where they had to
(24:17):
then punt from their own end zone. But for Lamar
spreading the ball around. They're not running the ball particularly well.
He's only had two scrambles, one for thirteen and then
Derrick Henry that one big run. He's only got forty
one yards. But I think the one thing we could
say about the Dolphins and we could say thank you
to this. There are only two and a half minutes
remaining in the third. Yeah, it is only seven to
(24:39):
thirty West Coast time, so they are losing horribly but quickly. Again,
if you're gonna lose, lose early, lose big. So I
cannot the rest of the day from spectacularly and leave
no doubt. It's all good.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
We got more coming up in ninety seconds, including a
big story out of the look ahead to Game six
of the World Series. But night now, right now, let's
try to find out what's trending in the wide world
of sports. And someone who is coming up with what
could be the greatest Halloween costume known to mankind. It's
Monty Belanos.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It's not gonna be that great. I have thirty six
hours to put it together. It's gonna be pretty good.
Nobody needs sleep. You're right, I don't even know what
it's gonna be. We're still we're still brainstorming. Okay, I
got idea for no none minus like six hours for
the Dodger game the morning. Okay, I got an idea
for you. Can you hit a baseball? Of course I
can hit a baseball. Then you can't go as the
Dodgers Dodger wrench and drop the Wow. I've had that.
(25:38):
I've had that one in my holster for the last
half hours.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
She's gonna come and it'll beat you up. Yeah. I
could go four for fifty. You're right, like Andy Pa has,
I probably go five for fifty.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Just walk around in a Dodger uniform dropping things, just
drive everything you go to grab your swinging you're missing, Yeah,
I do that.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Hold on a second, Yeah, that's that's gonna be option seat.
Like if I can't get options A and B, that's auptions.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You swing your arms and your helmet comes off. Just yeah,
just a hot mess. Yeah, that hot mess is a
Dodger perfect.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
There you go, that's going to be That'll be planned cright,
we'll put that there.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, guys.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Thursday night football kicking off Week nine of the NFL.
As you guys just talked about, it's been all Ravens
so far. There was a terrible tripping call against Miami
in the first half that couldn't have changed things. Probably not,
but the Ravens are up twenty eight to six about
two minutes to go in the third quarter of this wee.
Lamar Jackson is seventeen of twenty one, one hundred and
eighty four yards and four touchdowns. As you guys just mentioned,
(26:32):
Tuatagobailoa has not thrown a touchdown pass. He is sixteen
of twenty six for one hundred and sixty nine yards.
Other NFL news, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray he's going to
start Monday night against the Cowboys. He's returning from a
foot injury that has cost him two games. Texans wide
receiver Nico Collins says cleared concussion protocol. He's set to
start Sunday against the Broncos. In college football, Nebraska has
(26:52):
given head football coach Matt Ruled a two year contract
extension that goes through twenty twenty thirty two. ESPN reports
at the Bayou on Rules deal is fifteen million if
he leaves after this season, which seems really low in
comparison to other buyouts. Texas quarterback Arch Manning practice today,
but he's still in concussion protocol. The twentieth rank Longhorns
host number nine Vanderbilt on Saturday. In the NBA, it's
(27:15):
been a close one between the Heat and the Spurs
right now. San Antonio is up eighty eight to eighty
five with about eight minutes to go in the game.
Victor I Binyama twenty one points, seventeen rebounds and three blocks.
Pallo Bancaro just Shy have a triple double twenty points,
nine rebounds, nine assists. Is The Magic defeated the Hornets one,
twenty three to one. Oh seven. Ryan Rollins for the
Bucks thirty two points as the Bucks defeated the Warriors
(27:38):
just now one twenty to one ten. While the Thunder
are still perfect six to oh they are still undefeated.
They took down the Wizards one twenty seven to one
oh eight. Shake Gildas Alexander thirty one points in the win.
When it comes to the NHL, that connects in the
Blues right now are tied at three apiece with about
ninety seconds to go in the third period. Penguins over
the Wild for one two minutes left in that one
(28:01):
of the third period, and the Jets just defeated the
black Hawks six two three. Jee's doing someday, Yeah, the
Sharks right now, but the Devil's.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
If you said New York, you said the Jets beat
Chicago sixty three, people would go yeah that tracks Kleb
Williams probably had.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
A bad game, especially after what we saw the Bears
just do. When I was like, I thought you would
beat the Ravens with that Lamar Jackson right after winning
four in a row.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Both Jets field goals to be set up by interceptions
of fumbles. Oh to be a turnover, it would be
special teams, Special teams.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, that was a dare. I told you, I told
you all about my squad. I told you it was
comed disappointing. I thought they were going to get five
in a row. Back to you guys, Thank you very much. Mom.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yes, so speaking of the next game of the World Series,
and I say the next game because I was extremely
surprised about this today. All the talk that Dave Roberts
has had going into hey they're down three to two.
We got Game six of the World Series tomorrow. Trying
to stay alive. All the talk to day has been
(29:00):
about whatever show Hao Tani's role's going to be in
game seven? Yeah, all right, Hey, what could happen? Dave
Roberts said, lots of things are on the table. We
could use him as an opener, we could potend because
then they don't lose a spot in the lineup. If
the use him as an opener, he stays in the
game as a DH because the rules were changed, potentially
as a reliever, but then we would have to lose.
So there's a lot of things in play for Otani
(29:21):
for Game seven. He said he was going to talk
with Otani about it later on Thursday, We're going to
pick up the pieces to see the best way to
attack a potential Game seven. Everything should be on the table.
It will be for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Hang on a second. Did I miss a game and
the game is tie and the series is tied at
three apiece? Did I miss a game? Are we going
right to Did I mint it because of the crazy
schedule with Freddie Freeman's home run? Did they move game time?
Did I miss a game where the Dodgers won in Toronto?
And might that Game seven? Did I miss that?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
If I miss that, tell me what happened, because I
really won't go back to Earth Okay, because I really
thought we were going into Game six tomorrow and the
Dodgers and Dave Roberts is spending all this time talking
about Game seven like it's time. I'm sorry, but the Dodgers,
the entire World Series has been a Hey, we're not
gonna panic. Everything is fine. We're gonna be able to
(30:10):
be able to figure our way out of this. We're
gonna hit, We're gonna fit. I understand. I understand. The
team that's been in the World Series, it's won, they're
there every year, they won last year. We know how
to win a World Series. We understand.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Okay, you do, but you also need to understand that
you guys are absolutely floundering right now.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You have been awful. You have not hit the entire playoff.
You need a little bit more sense of urgency. Then well,
hey we get to game selp. We got a lot
of things on the table for game seven. Why are
you even talking about game seven?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Now?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That this doesn't come up? And I'm sure with your
coaches there's been the conversation of hey, we get to
game seven, what are you thinking?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Do you use.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Otani because that would get into your strategy for relievers
in game six? Sure, I get that that's part of it.
Why are you talking about game seven? Why is it
every question?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Hey? What will you do it? Uh? Guys, we got
game six tomorrow? Games is tomorrow? Worried about We'll figure
it out tomorrow. Yamamoto's our guy. We're going X, Y,
and Z tomorrow Game six. I know you want to
have guys, Game six is tomorrow. That should be the
message out there. I see this from Dave Roberts and
the Dodgers, and I go, do they really understand the
trouble they're in? They really you understand? The trouble I've seen.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Did they understand they really get that they have been
absolutely abysmal and they gave away two games being incredibly flat,
allowing a rookie pitcher to run over them like he's
Nolan Ryan. This is what's happened to the Dodgers since
the Freddie Freeman home run, Almost as if the Dodgers felt, Man,
they're not gonna come back on it.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Why are they not rolling over? They should be rolling
over on I don't know why the Bluees aren't rolling over.
We beat them in eighteen innings. They should be rolling
over on us. They're in a lot of trouble. A
little bit more sense of urgency, a little bit more
of that out of the Dodgers, and clearly the optic
of yeah, let's talk about game seven. Dude, you may
not even get to Game seven. Man, what are you
doing this for? I see this from Dave Roberts, and
(31:55):
I said, I don't the Dodgers need someone to show
up in that locker room and go, hey, guys, get
your heads out of here. You know what, Okay, one
more game and you've given away this season. You're terrible, bets,
You're awful show hey, take those two games away. You've
been terrible. Freddy okay, great home run, Freddy okay.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
But other guys, Tay Oscar, you can't field at all
everything you Why is it for every one good thing
you do for the Dodgers, it's two bad things. You
guys got to get your heads out of your what's
and get ready to play. They need some kind of
motivational Tony Robbins magic, stop this stuff going on?
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (32:27):
No, walk across the coles. No, never mind, you had Roberts,
And part of it was it's more than just kind
of doing whatever we can to get through tomorrow and
then we pick up the pieces and then you can
play pick up the Pieces one of those great songs.
But all that's saying I'd rather do fall the Pieces
because that's a better song. No, no, no, thee there's
(32:50):
no question, but the horns to pick up the pieces.
Bit it it it, bit it, come on, I mean it,
it just gets the crowd fired up. Man say that,
I just thinking, I think Curby your three well, I
mean that's kind of what we're watching with this clown
show here. But I mean, who could be the lead
Tasso made oral Herscheizer has he ever done anything mean
(33:10):
other than being mad at you? No, Sandy Kopex. They
just put a super cut of him grimacing, as they
did during the last couple of World Series games. Perhaps
that would be enough and effective enough to get you
over the top, but certainly, uh, there's a need for
some more. I mean, Dave's trying to be nice. Now's
the time to not be nice, you know, like we're
(33:31):
in roadhouse.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe Dave is a guy standing
there When the other guys want to fight and they
look in Patrick Swayzy just shakes his head.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Not yet, yeah, wait for it.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Not until Jeff Heally plays Angelize. That's when we fight.

we got more from the NFL and TNF coming up
in about fifteen minutes. Lamar Jackson picking up right where
you left off. The Ravens defense not so much, but
uh here we are getting set for Halloween. Happy Halloween Eve, and.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Uh there are three surprise teams that are un defeated
in the NBA this season, one of them in action
right now. The Spurs six point lead over the Heat
with about three and a half left to go. But
we have three surprise teams undefeated. Nobody I think a surprise.
Oklahoma City is six and O they gottending champs. They're
(35:15):
that good? Come on, I thought there was supposed to
be Uh, you know, a hayes a malaise. A hey,
there's no sense of urgency? Are they just that much better?
San Antonio four?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
And oh on the cusp of being five, and oh
Philadelphia is four, and oh the Bulls are four and
oh yeah they are so level of belief on these three?
Are these three teams? Which of them are for real?
Which of them aren't? Let's deal with the Spurs first,
because remember, I don't like to say this. I don't
like three you know, you know me. I don't like
to remind people when I say things. But I said, hey,
(35:48):
you're looking for your dark horse NBA Finals team in
the Western Conference, San Antonio Spurs, because at some point
this season, Wenby's going to become the best player in
the league. They have a great young roster, and this
is a team that suddenly shake well and here they are.
It happened a lot faster. Maybe some of this happened
when you weren't looking. But Victor wembin Yama has become
(36:10):
the best player in the NBA Tonight twenty four, seventeen
and six so far midway through the fourth quarter. Let's
not complicate things. When a guy is that good, then
you have a G and you you have the best player,
or if someone wants to still stand up and say,
I still think it's Jhonnis. Okay, Wemby is at the
very very top of that list. It's not a surprise
that his team is undefeated, so this shouldn't really be
(36:33):
a surprise. I think it's a surprise that people were
discounting the Spurs for so long that they're gonna need
some time. They're young women's need some time to grow
into it. No, Wemby has become the best player in
the NBA. Let's not make things too complicated. Spurs to
Spurs are for real that we could talk to Luke Well,
he might not even be the best player on his
own team.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Austin Reeves might be better. Don't do that. You already
did the Jordan's yesterday. I take Yeah, I've had a
couple of texts about that promo. Wait, what the hell
is it? Like? Hey, we're gonna trade on We're gonna
trade Luca now often Reves going on trade and Austin
Reeves is now getting a statue. He could trade Luca
for Cooper Flag. Miko Harrison will do that? Why not?
(37:12):
After a week? Absolutely? Yeah, but the Spurs twenty five
to one. Now people moving because they're realizing a lot
of these other teams are not good. Now you take
advantage of what's on the schedule and you you know,
you beat a couple of also rans, and that's fine.
But for when min Yama, I think it was right
perhaps to wonder aloud a little bit how how quickly
(37:34):
he'd be back to supreme level like he was his
rookie year because last year, look, those were no small,
small issues that kept him off the court, right, So
it becomes a does he get pushed back in at
fifteen to twenty minutes a game or is it full bore? Well,
you got him full on right and doing ridiculous things,
(37:54):
putting up crazy numbers. So yeah, that you're starting to
see that movement. And I think is the NBA as
a whole, And even though we've got a short sample size,
there's a lot of teams with warts that are pretty obvious.
Oh one hundred percent, there's what but but either way,
But I can't you can't take that away from the Spurs. Hey,
do you have the best player? You are what you are,
(38:15):
what your record says you are? Right? Fifty to one
down to twenty five to one. Right now, the Chicago Bulls.
Here's where I'm gonna stun you, and you're gonna be
mad at me. Well, you got excited about the Bears.
I can't wait to hear the Bulls. Four and zero.
Bulls are for real. Okay, just watch the Bulls and
I you know, it feels like, well, they didn't really
make a lot of moves. They didn't really do anything
(38:37):
different in the offseason. It's kind of some of the
same guys. Yeah, except watch the pace they play at.
Now watch what they do. Now, watch them play, whether
it's Giddy or zealous. Who's becoming a big superstar? Now,
big deal? Right? He was twenty seven and five last night.
Then he come off the bench with Smith and Williams
and Herder. They run through their rotations like it's a
(39:02):
college team that plays up tempo and they make those
wholesale changes every four minutes because they play at such
a high pace where hey, here comes the you know,
five new guys coming in because these five guys need
a break.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
The Bulls play at such a breakneck pace and they
don't have a lot of stars on the team, and
Giddy probably is your default best player. But okay, and
remember you know your best player is still injured and
he's not back here.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Toby White back in practice and ramping up, but with
a hot start, there's no rush to get him back in.
When you can play at a pace that is different
from every other team in the league, you are a
pain in the ass to play against. You're a pay
This team has confidence. When you play fast, you can
get past your mistakes a lot easier because hey, didn't
(39:44):
work this time down the court. This time down the court,
it's going to There's nobody who's ball dominant on this team.
There's a lot of guys that can score, a lot
of guys can shoot threes. They're a pain in the
ass to play against. And that's the worst kind of
team you want to play against in the regular season. Well,
we got the Bucks and they got the Pistons, and
then we got the Bulls back to back with the Pacers, Right,
we don't want this Bulls team running up and down
(40:04):
the floor. My only concern for the Bulls is they're
a regular season good team because that pace thing. Once
you get to the playoffs, it's not quite as effectionate.
But regular season man, I'm believing in the Bulls hundred percent. No,
but that's it, right, is that you got the depth
you talk about the what six guys in double figures
right now two to one assist to turnover ratio. They
(40:25):
can hit threes, they'll run you, and because they're young,
that you're not worried about that dissipation right as we've
watched with some of these other teams where you're like,
all right, by the middle of the season, this is
not sustainable. We're gonna be in load management, guys taking
weeks off in all of those kinds of things. With
the Bulls, if they they're all playing thirty minutes to night,
it's none of it. It's why I don't come back.
(40:46):
He was their second leading scorer, Mike, you know exactly
what he's doing. By the way, No, no, no, he's
killing me. He's like because he wants to just go
Knicks Nicks Nicks now. Because that's the bigger point in
the Eastern Conference right now. We talk about Indiana missing
their biggest guy. You're talking about the Celtics. They don't
have really an identity outside of Jalen Brown and whatever
(41:07):
is or is in his hairline. And go on down
the line, there's an opportunity to move up. So there
you go.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
We still have another undefeated team to get to, which
we will in the next few minutes. But yeah, all
in on the Spurs, all in on the Bulls, and
after tonight, I think we're all in on Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Tell you why.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Every night. We jump right into a game going on.
It's hey.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Due to time constraints, we fast forward fourteen to six
early in the third quarter. The Ravens lead the Dolphins.
Time it on the field right now and we'll get
to Lamara Jackson a second. But this, you know, I
always say this about the Dolphins I say this team
makes no sense. You know, a little bit over a
year and five months ago at this maybe a year
(01:21):
and a half ago. At this time, they were supposed
to be the next great team in the NFL, all
their speed, Mike McDaniel was going to turn the league
on its ear. They had had a great year. They
played a playoff game in Kansas City when it was
minus fifty degrees and Mike McDaniel may have gotten frostbite.
Where it is you know those capri pants that I
(01:43):
wish it was colder?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, I really I got other clothes that I could wear.
I think his brain is still frozen. It might be.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
It might be because now you fast forward a year
and a half later, and now you're just wondering how
many guys are going to survive the purge TV Little
Halloween Ie. How many guys are gonna survive the purge
after this year? Is McDaniel gonna survive it? Is Tua
gonna survive it? Are they gonna trade eight chen? But
what are they gonna do?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
A question? First off, you got the mini purge because
the trade deadline being next week. Maybe maybe not in
terms of Chubb and Phillips and a number of players
on the defense, which has actually played quite well tonight
for them, But yeah, it's it is a very curious
time from the ownership on down. Because remember he was
(02:31):
yelling at someone because his car was parked too far
on the tarmac because he had to walk off a
plane and walk an extra twenty feet. He was berating
some poor guy that was working at the airport. So
you know, all the way down it's just a train wreck.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
And that's why tonight is the perfect example of this
game standing for the entire Dolphins franchise because this is
a first half in which the Dolphins had the ball
in the red zone four times. They've rolled out nearly
three hundred yards of total offense, had four incomplete passes
(03:06):
eight chn is over one hundred yards of total offense.
Miami has done whatever they want to do offensively, and
they're losing fourteen to six and the Ravens are driving
inside the Dolphins thirty yard line to add to their lead.
The Ravens moved the football as much as they could,
Lamar Jackson a couple of passes, But this game stands
(03:26):
for the question of just how did the Dolphins get
this bat? How is a game like this where the
Dolphins are not just losing, but they could be two
scores down, and you look at the numbers in the
stats and what they've been able to do in the
first half.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
We're going up and down the field. We are finding
a way to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And still here they are looking up at the scoreboard
and you're wondering, what just half of the Dolphins this
stands for their entire franchise.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, you just had a number of circumstances where the
old a shot yourself in the foot. Right. You had
a big thirty six yard pass play, probably the deepest
ball that to was thrown all year. Nice completion Wattle
that gets wiped out as Wattle gets wiped out. That
would have been on the jacked up segment back of
the day because you get a tripping penalty on Gordon,
(04:09):
which is gonna be much reviewed because he's kind of falling.
But by the strict interpretation of the law, not the
spirit but the letter of the interpretation, and the spirit
and the letter and the figuring it out exactly all
those words, but they take it away, right, they take
away a thirty six yard game. You had another circumstance
(04:29):
where a guy completes pass fumble returned to the seven,
sets him up at point blank range. That sets up
the Ravens first touchdown. Derreck Henry has a run of
fourteen yards. Otherwise nothing right, He's basically not even falling
forward in his other nine carries tonight, Like all these
things play together, but the turnover. They even had all
(04:50):
the extra bonuses on the kickoffs, right, big returns, those
kickoffs and punts. I almost thought that I was watching
it and paying attention to this, that perhaps it was
the penalty that they were facing the Ravens because of
the bad injury report with Lamar Jackson. Okay, you've got
to give up chunks of yardage, ah, bad special teams,
(05:10):
play special teams, guy, horrorball, you lose. But no, all
of that. You're waiting for the explosiveness. But it's like
I watched the Bears against this Ravens team last week
in Baltimore. What happened first quarter? A couple of great drives,
field goals, kicket field goals is losing football? Yeah, yeah,
field goals.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You guys would know, Hey, nobody knows losing football, like
the two of them.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Nobody I know.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I'm the expert. I'm losing football. I'm like, oh, bad football.
I'm like the I'm like the the Fanos of bad football.
Harmon's like the ebony Maw of bad football.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Oh I like him. Yeah, because I've seen I'll take
it from you're more the Einstein at bad football.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Okay, okay, and you could be the Edison of bad football.
I'll be Einstein. You be Edison because you have seen
tons of bad football. You just haven't seen as much
bad football as I have.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, you got me in the age a little bit.
I'm catching up though. Yeah. Well it doesn't. Well, I
got because I've also had expectations, probably more years than
you have. Yeah okay, well you see in terms of
a one, yeah, it would be more.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
But the thing is it doesn't matter. Like I'm three
years older than you, but I could be twenty years
older than you. I could be ten years younger than you.
I would still have seen worse football and more bad
football than you.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Well, and now you're the worst team in the AFC
East again, even though you're coming off a win. Yeah yeah,
This Dolphins team's actually looked pretty good the last couple
of weeks. Now now they're down fourteen to six, and
it's about to be worse, but all in like that
first half was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Another touchdown pass for Lamar Jackson, his third of the
night on first and goal Charlie Kohlar with a touchdown either.
He does nothing but throw touchdowns, short touchdowns and tight ends.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
That's what he does. He got two to Andrews and
now Charlie Kohlark.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And now look, Ozzie Newsome is suiting up to come
down and play in this nextico so we can get
a pass.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
He's anytime. All Big twelve Honoree twenty twenty Mackie Award
finalists for the cyclone. How much do you guys want
to bet right there that he thought that was Mark Andrews.
Oh probably he wanted to give my hat trick. Oh hey,
all right, hey, we scored, All right, die, we did it.
What has been funny, though, and well not funny for him,
is that Ricard has been getting absolutely worked over the
course of the night, right just getting run over. But
(07:21):
he's impeding guys just enough for Lamar to get the ball.
So he's doing his job, but not gracefully.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Now here's the thing about the Ravens Okay, here's Lamar
Jackson's bad stink. Hang on, cause I'm gonna confound you.
I'm gonna give you a confound you with my great
Halloween confounding. Take on the Ravens and Lamar Jackson. Okay,
all the big talk coming into this game was here
the Ravens. They're coming back. They're a playoff team. Roch
(07:50):
the Ravens. Here they come.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
They're gonna run the table because they're the favorite in
the division. Nothing's easier to say than we're gonna run
the table because you know, it's not about twelve thirteen
weeks worth of work.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's just I'm gonna say it and run it. Running
the table never happens. That never happens. You don't run
the table. No one runs the table. But I'm gonna
say this, the Ravens can win the division. They can,
but I'm not believing in them as a playoff team.
You mean as as a playoff team, like they can
(08:21):
get no, no, no, no, I know they can't even
get no. They're a player. They can win the division, yes,
but they're not a playoff team. Okay, you know I
can say this. Why can you say that?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Because the entire division stinks and no one should be
allowed to be in the playoffs. Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
They should just say, hey, sorry, it's a really bad
year for it's here in the AFC North. We're gonna
give our spot to somebody else a little bit more deserving.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Every team in that division stinks. You're saying they can
make it, and they can be on the schedule, but
then just say, I bequeath this to somebody else.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And they don't get the letter from Roger Goodell that
welcomes them to the playoffs. Wow, they don't get that.
We're gonna gift like it's an edible arrangement thing coming in.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Get that congratulations. We'll get that letter out to you.
Maybe we won't. I don't know you, but don't we
have a game this weekend. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
See, here's the thing, Uh boy, the AFC West is
really tough. We want to let all three of those
teams in. I mean not the Raiders obviously, but we're
gonna let those guys in, and and you're all gonna stay.
What's the letter actually say? Quote the Raven nevermore and
let's let's out.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
If you're be honest with me, do you really think
you deserve to be in the playoffs. Do you really
think one of those teams and that craptastic AFC North
deserves to be in the playoffs? The answer is no.
There you go until they can list it out, but
they're not a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
But this is where we get back into the age
old argument because they do all the scheduling based on
divisions and everything else. So uh, until we eradicate that
and just make them super conferences like college football is
eventually getting to, uh, then we still have this. You're
gonna get your occasional seven and nine, you're eight, eight
and ones. Bring me your nine and eight teams, because
(09:57):
with the right matchup they could still run the table.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What are you that your liberty. Bring me your nine
and eight teams. Bring me your teams that had a tie.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
At the end of the season. They can bring me
your miserable, down trodden squads that missed their quarterback for
a month at a time and they can come back.
But don't bring me those Jets. Leave the Jets out.
You bring me the Jets. We're not having this Concreleave
them and leave them out of this. But yeah, it's
it is a curiosity because coming into the day they
are the favorite to win the division. And as you say,
(10:26):
all it means is everybody else stepped back. This is
this is like that when you see in TV shows
when everybody's standing one line and they go, okay, whoever
would like to volunteer for this take one step forward,
and everybody but one person takes one step back and
they go, thank you for volunteering. What what do you mean,
I didn't do anything. You are tribute for this district
and now here comes and now here comes the movie
(10:48):
you volunteered.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Uh, that's kind of what this is. With the playoffs. Again,
they can win the division, not a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, this is why the like again that that Ali
Gordon is going to be looked at a million times
because he came off he was fighting with his coach
and fighting with everybody else like I fell. Yeah, then
he got hurt and then yeah, there's a lot of stuff,
bad stuff. But you know Devon a Chan hopefully you
played him in Fantasy because you got that his extra
five points off the PPR. As he's lined up in
(11:18):
the slot and they're trying to utilize him more effectively.
Again realizing you've got to generate offense from the pop
gun arm of TUA wherever you can.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I would really respect if John Harbaugh or Mike Tomlin
or Zach Taylor, I would really respect if at the
end of the sector, Jack Browning's quarterbacking again, I would
know they're playing the Bears, so.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I would never know, never can tell. I would really
respect an end of the year. They get through seventeen weeks,
and they had the post a game press conference, and
everybody wants to know, Hey, division champion. Obviously with the
horrible record you're playing the first week, how do you
feel about this great Charger team or the Chiefs team
(12:04):
coming into play and that, whether it's Tomlin or Harbaugh,
And they say, you know, I'll let you guys know
right now, we're declining this invitation. We really don't feel
that we put the body of work out there to
be a playoff team. And I don't want my guys
to read and hear all week how it's ridiculous that
they're in and and this doesn't make any sense, and
(12:26):
why aren't the better teams in and and uh, I
don't need my guys don't need to see that. So
we're gonna. Can't that be used as fuel to spur
them to greater heights now, because if because if we
could use it as we would have had a better year.
We would have won more games. We just couldn't. We
would have had that whether we saw it from our
beat writers in week eight, we can only win seven games.
If we were good, we would have won more. This
(12:48):
is it's it's it's we're a stain on the NFL.
This is this entire division. That last pass attempt from
Tua was a stain.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
We are giving this away. We're giving this to a
to a to a more deserving team. Congratulations to the
Jaguars who made their way through the South at nine
and eight, or to the Chiefs who dragged their way
into the playoffs, whatever whatever it's going to be. You
know the Bills, because you know, the New England plays
absolutely nobody easiest schedule in the NFL. So another or
just say, you know what we hear about that team
(13:18):
in the NFC that really they deserve to get in.
They really they fought. You know, we want to give
this to the Bears. We really want to see the
Bears get in here. So we're going to give up
our spot. And again, if you look at our division,
you understand nobody should feel good taking this because we
all stink. I've had about six one liners go through
my brain. All of them would end up being don't
(13:38):
be taking it to the third rail. Don't be doing that,
because that's what you sound like right now.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Come on, just because the divisions are perhaps antiquated in
the way of doing business and setting up schedules, until
they eradicate them, you succeed and proceed, and then your
coach can say, we made the playoffs. Okay, should you
have been there? No, you've used the word dedicated twice
in the last five minutes. You have a you have
a ten minute moratorium on eradicating. I know I'm using
(14:05):
it because I must eradicate hereh well, yeah, I mean
we all watch Austin Powers this week.

Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Stop the Fight, Happy Halloween Eve and Lamar Jackson and
I'm a very big Happy Halloween Eve. We'll get to
that in a second.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Pretty scary now, I do want to say this right
because a few minutes ago Mary brought back the Ghostbusters theme. Yeah,
for a few minutes there, that was kind of fun
and yes, a scary movie. It's a comedy. It's about
ghosts and about busting ghosts. So yeah, okay, gets play
around Halloween.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I don't know that there's a movie that I saw
when I was a kid and then watch it again
years later as an adult, and I said to myself,
this movie is not funny at all, like Ghostbusters is low.
It doesn't stand And part of it is maybe because
I know so much of the punchlines. But the punchlines
(17:06):
he's slimed me. That doesn't stand up. It's a lot
of stuff, doesn't it. But it's not. It's not a
thing without the visual bait Like, it doesn't stand up
in like we've been running all the other lines that
we do from movies and TV, like they live without
the visual in your head. It's the slime. It's it's
because he, you know, look like he's uh a lying
(17:27):
in filth.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Ghostbusters was such a huge hit and it's still got
staying power now they're they're revamping it and rebooting it
every few years. But I mean it, go back and
watch and you're gonna get forty five minutes in and
you're gonna go, wow, I am really bored.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It does not. The best part, honestly, is Rick.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Moranis and I you talk about a hot take the
best part of ghost because he's he comes into the movie, yes,
and he's hysterical, but he's.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
A really bad person. He keeps bringing people into his party.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what happened? You know? Yeah,
he's not as bad as Dumbledore waiting for from Willie
Wonkin the Chocolate Factory, but he is pretty evil. What
do you order like Plotters of Locks?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
He he gets in the movie and all of a sudden,
it's like, oh my goodness, dude, like there was they
used a CPR machine on this movie. Suddenly now it's fun.
He's the funniest part of the movie. But it's him,
it's Annie Potts, and it's you know, whatever you do
with Sigourney.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Annie Potts is somewhat fun. And I like the match
the matching of Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver is really
really like you could.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Have gone completely over the top with the anti Potts character,
which you didn't do.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Guy, Like what you would answer the phone say, gust Bastas,
gous bastas, I just brought you back home.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Go back and watch Ghosts. But you're gonna say, wow,
this movie does not stay. I have not revisited a
long long time.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You know what you'll do, You'll revisit the first forty
five minutes, and you're gonna say, wow, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I fell asleep three times. I can tell you this though.
For the first time, I saw a cover of the
Ghostbusters theme song that I never knew existed really by
who Bruce Springsteen opened a concert when he was playing
a concert on Halloween night. Ghost Posters with ghosts. Yeah,
(19:13):
all the time, but it was just kind of funny.
No bust you and the young girls. Ghostbusters? Yeah, what's that?
If you want to go back and watch it, gonna
need a VCR. Yeah, no, it's on. You could get
you get and played. Just why it was just on
a few weeks ago. I'll tell you Ghostbusters. Trust me,
you're gonna go and you go. Wow. Jason was right. Listen.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
You may not like some of my sports takes. You
may not like so I am never gonna steer you
wrong on movies, TV and food.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Those three things forgot you. May you may love some
of my sports I mean, I may still disagree with you,
but I know in your heart of heart it is
not hot take nonsense for the sake of click click.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
If you just open up yourself to what I tell
you about TV shows and movies, and food. You're gonna say,
I'm having a great life and you told me not to.
Why he saved me forty five five minutes to an
hour of my life? Why because I stopped rewatching Ghostbusters
after the first forty five minutes. But that I don't
know what to do with all this time. I'll go
buy a doughnut. That's what you go do. I've given you,
I've given you more life. There you go, Wow, the
(20:12):
gift of light now. And also you have to watch
the first forty five minutes to realize I'm right. So
you could just believe me right now and now, and
then then you have like two hours of your life
to go.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Hey, so this was really a faith base. You gotta
have faith in me, Yeah, in my because I really
thought you were gonna you went a completely different direction.
I really thought you were gonna go down the movie
I saw as a kid. That still freaks me the
hell out. Yeah, that's where I thought you were. Now
you just went with a big line. You went, you
have to have faith. Now.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
That's the big line from Fright Night, the original Fright
That's good one awesome still stands up side good movie,
still one of the most underrated horror movies of all time?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Would agree? Well, comes question fright night? Yeah you ready? Yeah, yeah, Frostburg.
What's more scary? Yeah, Ghostbusters or throwing the football? Oh
to a throwing the f That third down pass the
last possession was really something because, like I said, Ghostbusters
is boring and you really see the punchlines coming to
you have no idea what he's doing. Oh, you have
(21:07):
no idea what they're doing with the receivers. No, they know.
And that's the problem. Is three three to five yards
behind the guy. Maybe I get it, Maybe I don't.
Ahan's not looking up towards to run towards, you know,
then the other end zone, he's looking back towards his
because the throw is perennially behind him.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Look, here's another big epic fail for the Dolphins. Yeah, okay,
So what's today? Today's the day before Halloween, right day
before Halloween. Yeah, what's the big color for Halloween?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Orange? Right?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
What's one of the main colors of the Dolphins uniforms?
You saying there should be a orange? How are they
not wearing all orange uniforms on Halloween?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
How do you know?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Hey, we're playing everybody knows the schedule. Hey, the day
before Halloween, we're playing, how are they not working?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
All had fun with it and they say, hey, it's
a lights out game, so you're wearing.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
At least when you're losing twenty eight to six, people
will say you look good while you're losing instead of
just yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Losing in style is a good thing. Dolphins wouldn't be
scary if they played in the scarface map. Say hello
to Jalen Waddle, But I said, I said, the video
of all the people you know associated with the team
walking out and Halloween, you know, skeletons or whatever. And
now they're showing the dissatisfied crowd one after another. You
(22:22):
read lips. I can't say what they're saying on Aero
Winds because we will lose our FCC like a bunch
of poop mouse. There's a lot going on there. So
what is happening to the Miami Dolphins. Well, Lamar Jackson
is happening right now to the Miami Dolphins, and of
course you know Labar is going to be the play
of the day. Brought to you by tire Rack. For
over forty years, Tirerac's been helping customers find the right
(22:44):
tires for how, what and where they drive, shipped fast
and free, backed by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tirerack dot Com is
the way tire buying should be. Well, not one, not two,
not three. Make it four touchdowns for Lamar Jackson return
from injury. He is your play of the day and
(23:05):
down in seven passes put by who store another touchdown?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Andrews has two, Charlie Kohler has one. Rashad Bateman catching
the most recent touchdown about five minutes ago, making a
twenty eight to six lead for the Ravens late in
the third quarter. Al Michael's on Prime and Al Michaels
is saying, yeah, this is back when we first took over,
getting all those crap tastic games I Ravens Dolphins onto
Thursday nightg Thanks.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Now, there were some expectation you at least had the
return of Lamar Jackson, right. There might have been a
minute where he was like, Wow, I'm prepping for Tua
and the train wreck that is Miami and Snoop Huntley
coming off a big win against the Bears. Don't get
me wrong, but certainly at least got the gift when
they said no, no, no, we didn't mean to obfuscate the
(23:55):
injury rules. Lamar really really had a setback. All right, Well,
here we are four touchdown passes for Bateman. It's good
that he got in the plus side, because I'm sure
he was going to hear about it from the coaches
for his tirade earlier when he was crying for a
flag that didn't come and got penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct
deep in their own territory to where they had to
(24:17):
then punt from their own end zone. But for Lamar
spreading the ball around. They're not running the ball particularly well.
He's only had two scrambles, one for thirteen and then
Derrick Henry that one big run. He's only got forty
one yards. But I think the one thing we could
say about the Dolphins and we could say thank you
to this. There are only two and a half minutes
remaining in the third. Yeah, it is only seven to
(24:39):
thirty West Coast time, so they are losing horribly but quickly. Again,
if you're gonna lose, lose early, lose big. So I
cannot the rest of the day from spectacularly and leave
no doubt. It's all good.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
We got more coming up in ninety seconds, including a
big story out of the look ahead to Game six
of the World Series. But night now, right now, let's
try to find out what's trending in the wide world
of sports. And someone who is coming up with what
could be the greatest Halloween costume known to mankind. It's
Monty Belanos.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It's not gonna be that great. I have thirty six
hours to put it together. It's gonna be pretty good.
Nobody needs sleep. You're right, I don't even know what
it's gonna be. We're still we're still brainstorming. Okay, I
got idea for no none minus like six hours for
the Dodger game the morning. Okay, I got an idea
for you. Can you hit a baseball? Of course I
can hit a baseball. Then you can't go as the
Dodgers Dodger wrench and drop the Wow. I've had that.
(25:38):
I've had that one in my holster for the last
half hours.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
She's gonna come and it'll beat you up. Yeah. I
could go four for fifty. You're right, like Andy Pa has,
I probably go five for fifty.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Just walk around in a Dodger uniform dropping things, just
drive everything you go to grab your swinging you're missing, Yeah,
I do that.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Hold on a second, Yeah, that's that's gonna be option seat.
Like if I can't get options A and B, that's auptions.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You swing your arms and your helmet comes off. Just yeah,
just a hot mess. Yeah, that hot mess is a
Dodger perfect.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
There you go, that's going to be That'll be planned cright,
we'll put that there.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, guys.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Thursday night football kicking off Week nine of the NFL.
As you guys just talked about, it's been all Ravens
so far. There was a terrible tripping call against Miami
in the first half that couldn't have changed things. Probably not,
but the Ravens are up twenty eight to six about
two minutes to go in the third quarter of this wee.
Lamar Jackson is seventeen of twenty one, one hundred and
eighty four yards and four touchdowns. As you guys just mentioned,
(26:32):
Tuatagobailoa has not thrown a touchdown pass. He is sixteen
of twenty six for one hundred and sixty nine yards.
Other NFL news, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray he's going to
start Monday night against the Cowboys. He's returning from a
foot injury that has cost him two games. Texans wide
receiver Nico Collins says cleared concussion protocol. He's set to
start Sunday against the Broncos. In college football, Nebraska has
(26:52):
given head football coach Matt Ruled a two year contract
extension that goes through twenty twenty thirty two. ESPN reports
at the Bayou on Rules deal is fifteen million if
he leaves after this season, which seems really low in
comparison to other buyouts. Texas quarterback Arch Manning practice today,
but he's still in concussion protocol. The twentieth rank Longhorns
host number nine Vanderbilt on Saturday. In the NBA, it's
(27:15):
been a close one between the Heat and the Spurs
right now. San Antonio is up eighty eight to eighty
five with about eight minutes to go in the game.
Victor I Binyama twenty one points, seventeen rebounds and three blocks.
Pallo Bancaro just Shy have a triple double twenty points,
nine rebounds, nine assists. Is The Magic defeated the Hornets one,
twenty three to one. Oh seven. Ryan Rollins for the
Bucks thirty two points as the Bucks defeated the Warriors
(27:38):
just now one twenty to one ten. While the Thunder
are still perfect six to oh they are still undefeated.
They took down the Wizards one twenty seven to one
oh eight. Shake Gildas Alexander thirty one points in the win.
When it comes to the NHL, that connects in the
Blues right now are tied at three apiece with about
ninety seconds to go in the third period. Penguins over
the Wild for one two minutes left in that one
(28:01):
of the third period, and the Jets just defeated the
black Hawks six two three. Jee's doing someday, Yeah, the
Sharks right now, but the Devil's.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
If you said New York, you said the Jets beat
Chicago sixty three, people would go yeah that tracks Kleb
Williams probably had.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
A bad game, especially after what we saw the Bears
just do. When I was like, I thought you would
beat the Ravens with that Lamar Jackson right after winning
four in a row.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Both Jets field goals to be set up by interceptions
of fumbles. Oh to be a turnover, it would be
special teams, Special teams.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, that was a dare. I told you, I told
you all about my squad. I told you it was
comed disappointing. I thought they were going to get five
in a row. Back to you guys, Thank you very much. Mom.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yes, so speaking of the next game of the World Series,
and I say the next game because I was extremely
surprised about this today. All the talk that Dave Roberts
has had going into hey they're down three to two.
We got Game six of the World Series tomorrow. Trying
to stay alive. All the talk to day has been
(29:00):
about whatever show Hao Tani's role's going to be in
game seven? Yeah, all right, Hey, what could happen? Dave
Roberts said, lots of things are on the table. We
could use him as an opener, we could potend because
then they don't lose a spot in the lineup. If
the use him as an opener, he stays in the
game as a DH because the rules were changed, potentially
as a reliever, but then we would have to lose.
So there's a lot of things in play for Otani
(29:21):
for Game seven. He said he was going to talk
with Otani about it later on Thursday, We're going to
pick up the pieces to see the best way to
attack a potential Game seven. Everything should be on the table.
It will be for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Hang on a second. Did I miss a game and
the game is tie and the series is tied at
three apiece? Did I miss a game? Are we going
right to Did I mint it because of the crazy
schedule with Freddie Freeman's home run? Did they move game time?
Did I miss a game where the Dodgers won in Toronto?
And might that Game seven? Did I miss that?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
If I miss that, tell me what happened, because I
really won't go back to Earth Okay, because I really
thought we were going into Game six tomorrow and the
Dodgers and Dave Roberts is spending all this time talking
about Game seven like it's time. I'm sorry, but the Dodgers,
the entire World Series has been a Hey, we're not
gonna panic. Everything is fine. We're gonna be able to
(30:10):
be able to figure our way out of this. We're
gonna hit, We're gonna fit. I understand. I understand. The
team that's been in the World Series, it's won, they're
there every year, they won last year. We know how
to win a World Series. We understand.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Okay, you do, but you also need to understand that
you guys are absolutely floundering right now.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You have been awful. You have not hit the entire playoff.
You need a little bit more sense of urgency. Then well,
hey we get to game selp. We got a lot
of things on the table for game seven. Why are
you even talking about game seven?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Now?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That this doesn't come up? And I'm sure with your
coaches there's been the conversation of hey, we get to
game seven, what are you thinking?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Do you use.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Otani because that would get into your strategy for relievers
in game six? Sure, I get that that's part of it.
Why are you talking about game seven? Why is it
every question?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Hey? What will you do it? Uh? Guys, we got
game six tomorrow? Games is tomorrow? Worried about We'll figure
it out tomorrow. Yamamoto's our guy. We're going X, Y,
and Z tomorrow Game six. I know you want to
have guys, Game six is tomorrow. That should be the
message out there. I see this from Dave Roberts and
the Dodgers, and I go, do they really understand the
trouble they're in? They really you understand? The trouble I've seen.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Did they understand they really get that they have been
absolutely abysmal and they gave away two games being incredibly flat,
allowing a rookie pitcher to run over them like he's
Nolan Ryan. This is what's happened to the Dodgers since
the Freddie Freeman home run, Almost as if the Dodgers felt, Man,
they're not gonna come back on it.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Why are they not rolling over? They should be rolling
over on I don't know why the Bluees aren't rolling over.
We beat them in eighteen innings. They should be rolling
over on us. They're in a lot of trouble. A
little bit more sense of urgency, a little bit more
of that out of the Dodgers, and clearly the optic
of yeah, let's talk about game seven. Dude, you may
not even get to Game seven. Man, what are you
doing this for? I see this from Dave Roberts, and
(31:55):
I said, I don't the Dodgers need someone to show
up in that locker room and go, hey, guys, get
your heads out of here. You know what, Okay, one
more game and you've given away this season. You're terrible, bets,
You're awful show hey, take those two games away. You've
been terrible. Freddy okay, great home run, Freddy okay.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
But other guys, Tay Oscar, you can't field at all
everything you Why is it for every one good thing
you do for the Dodgers, it's two bad things. You
guys got to get your heads out of your what's
and get ready to play. They need some kind of
motivational Tony Robbins magic, stop this stuff going on?
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (32:27):
No, walk across the coles. No, never mind, you had Roberts,
And part of it was it's more than just kind
of doing whatever we can to get through tomorrow and
then we pick up the pieces and then you can
play pick up the Pieces one of those great songs.
But all that's saying I'd rather do fall the Pieces
because that's a better song. No, no, no, thee there's
(32:50):
no question, but the horns to pick up the pieces.
Bit it it it, bit it, come on, I mean it,
it just gets the crowd fired up. Man say that,
I just thinking, I think Curby your three well, I
mean that's kind of what we're watching with this clown
show here. But I mean, who could be the lead
Tasso made oral Herscheizer has he ever done anything mean
(33:10):
other than being mad at you? No, Sandy Kopex. They
just put a super cut of him grimacing, as they
did during the last couple of World Series games. Perhaps
that would be enough and effective enough to get you
over the top, but certainly, uh, there's a need for
some more. I mean, Dave's trying to be nice. Now's
the time to not be nice, you know, like we're
(33:31):
in roadhouse.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe Dave is a guy standing
there When the other guys want to fight and they
look in Patrick Swayzy just shakes his head.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Not yet, yeah, wait for it.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Not until Jeff Heally plays Angelize. That's when we fight.

you left off. The Ravens defense not so much, but
uh here we are getting set for Halloween. Happy Halloween Eve, and.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Uh there are three surprise teams that are un defeated
in the NBA this season, one of them in action
right now. The Spurs six point lead over the Heat
with about three and a half left to go. But
we have three surprise teams undefeated. Nobody I think a surprise.
Oklahoma City is six and O they gottending champs. They're
(35:15):
that good? Come on, I thought there was supposed to
be Uh, you know, a hayes a malaise. A hey,
there's no sense of urgency? Are they just that much better?
San Antonio four?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
And oh on the cusp of being five, and oh
Philadelphia is four, and oh the Bulls are four and
oh yeah they are so level of belief on these three?
Are these three teams? Which of them are for real?
Which of them aren't? Let's deal with the Spurs first,
because remember, I don't like to say this. I don't
like three you know, you know me. I don't like
to remind people when I say things. But I said, hey,
(35:48):
you're looking for your dark horse NBA Finals team in
the Western Conference, San Antonio Spurs, because at some point
this season, Wenby's going to become the best player in
the league. They have a great young roster, and this
is a team that suddenly shake well and here they are.
It happened a lot faster. Maybe some of this happened
when you weren't looking. But Victor wembin Yama has become
(36:10):
the best player in the NBA Tonight twenty four, seventeen
and six so far midway through the fourth quarter. Let's
not complicate things. When a guy is that good, then
you have a G and you you have the best player,
or if someone wants to still stand up and say,
I still think it's Jhonnis. Okay, Wemby is at the
very very top of that list. It's not a surprise
that his team is undefeated, so this shouldn't really be
(36:33):
a surprise. I think it's a surprise that people were
discounting the Spurs for so long that they're gonna need
some time. They're young women's need some time to grow
into it. No, Wemby has become the best player in
the NBA. Let's not make things too complicated. Spurs to
Spurs are for real that we could talk to Luke Well,
he might not even be the best player on his
own team.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Austin Reeves might be better. Don't do that. You already
did the Jordan's yesterday. I take Yeah, I've had a
couple of texts about that promo. Wait, what the hell
is it? Like? Hey, we're gonna trade on We're gonna
trade Luca now often Reves going on trade and Austin
Reeves is now getting a statue. He could trade Luca
for Cooper Flag. Miko Harrison will do that? Why not?
(37:12):
After a week? Absolutely? Yeah, but the Spurs twenty five
to one. Now people moving because they're realizing a lot
of these other teams are not good. Now you take
advantage of what's on the schedule and you you know,
you beat a couple of also rans, and that's fine.
But for when min Yama, I think it was right
perhaps to wonder aloud a little bit how how quickly
(37:34):
he'd be back to supreme level like he was his
rookie year because last year, look, those were no small,
small issues that kept him off the court, right, So
it becomes a does he get pushed back in at
fifteen to twenty minutes a game or is it full bore? Well,
you got him full on right and doing ridiculous things,
(37:54):
putting up crazy numbers. So yeah, that you're starting to
see that movement. And I think is the NBA as
a whole, And even though we've got a short sample size,
there's a lot of teams with warts that are pretty obvious.
Oh one hundred percent, there's what but but either way,
But I can't you can't take that away from the Spurs. Hey,
do you have the best player? You are what you are,
(38:15):
what your record says you are? Right? Fifty to one
down to twenty five to one. Right now, the Chicago Bulls.
Here's where I'm gonna stun you, and you're gonna be
mad at me. Well, you got excited about the Bears.
I can't wait to hear the Bulls. Four and zero.
Bulls are for real. Okay, just watch the Bulls and
I you know, it feels like, well, they didn't really
make a lot of moves. They didn't really do anything
(38:37):
different in the offseason. It's kind of some of the
same guys. Yeah, except watch the pace they play at.
Now watch what they do. Now, watch them play, whether
it's Giddy or zealous. Who's becoming a big superstar? Now,
big deal? Right? He was twenty seven and five last night.
Then he come off the bench with Smith and Williams
and Herder. They run through their rotations like it's a
(39:02):
college team that plays up tempo and they make those
wholesale changes every four minutes because they play at such
a high pace where hey, here comes the you know,
five new guys coming in because these five guys need
a break.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
The Bulls play at such a breakneck pace and they
don't have a lot of stars on the team, and
Giddy probably is your default best player. But okay, and
remember you know your best player is still injured and
he's not back here.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Toby White back in practice and ramping up, but with
a hot start, there's no rush to get him back in.
When you can play at a pace that is different
from every other team in the league, you are a
pain in the ass to play against. You're a pay
This team has confidence. When you play fast, you can
get past your mistakes a lot easier because hey, didn't
(39:44):
work this time down the court. This time down the court,
it's going to There's nobody who's ball dominant on this team.
There's a lot of guys that can score, a lot
of guys can shoot threes. They're a pain in the
ass to play against. And that's the worst kind of
team you want to play against in the regular season. Well,
we got the Bucks and they got the Pistons, and
then we got the Bulls back to back with the Pacers, Right,
we don't want this Bulls team running up and down
(40:04):
the floor. My only concern for the Bulls is they're
a regular season good team because that pace thing. Once
you get to the playoffs, it's not quite as effectionate.
But regular season man, I'm believing in the Bulls hundred percent. No,
but that's it, right, is that you got the depth
you talk about the what six guys in double figures
right now two to one assist to turnover ratio. They
(40:25):
can hit threes, they'll run you, and because they're young,
that you're not worried about that dissipation right as we've
watched with some of these other teams where you're like,
all right, by the middle of the season, this is
not sustainable. We're gonna be in load management, guys taking
weeks off in all of those kinds of things. With
the Bulls, if they they're all playing thirty minutes to night,
it's none of it. It's why I don't come back.
(40:46):
He was their second leading scorer, Mike, you know exactly
what he's doing. By the way, No, no, no, he's
killing me. He's like because he wants to just go
Knicks Nicks Nicks now. Because that's the bigger point in
the Eastern Conference right now. We talk about Indiana missing
their biggest guy. You're talking about the Celtics. They don't
have really an identity outside of Jalen Brown and whatever
(41:07):
is or is in his hairline. And go on down
the line, there's an opportunity to move up. So there
you go.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
We still have another undefeated team to get to, which
we will in the next few minutes. But yeah, all
in on the Spurs, all in on the Bulls, and
after tonight, I think we're all in on Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Tell you why.
