Speaker 1 (00:29):
Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Monday, The Jason Smith Show with
my bes friend Mike Harmon.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Well. Here we are at.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
A big sports Equinox day, just a thirty second day ever,
all four major sports in action at the same time.
And speaking of action at Chavez Ravine right now, a
play that happened about forty seconds ago. Show Hey Otani
who already had a double and a home run tonight,
Dodgers down four to two to the Blue Jays. In
(01:17):
the bottom of the fifth inning, doubles to the wall
in left center to bring in Keke Hernandez. That makes
it a four to three game. Otani at second, one out.
Max schurzread exited the game, and you know, Blue Jays go, oh,
we want to bring in the left You to pitch
to Otani. Yeah, that didn't really matter. So here's Mooki
betch with the chance to tie the game.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Here again.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Otani now two doubles in a home run tonight. It
is his first opposite field hits since September twentieth, so
you know he's been trying to pull the ball a
ton So we have a game right now again one out,
top of the bottom of the fifth inning. Still a
long way to go here.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Four to three.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Blue Jays lead the Dodgers. Seventy seventh at bat. They said, yeah,
this since that last Tan. But he got to second
base and he was standing there and he started bellowing
like he.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Was the road warrior.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
He said, what rush two? As you said, he had
the double in the home run off Sureser. So he said,
we're not gonna let him get back at him again.
Let's bring in the left He flu hardy ah, oh wait,
didn't that hurts? Can he throw it from forty feet
away instead of sixty feet six inches? Maybe that would work?
Like he is, Otani is on an absolute heater right now.
(02:25):
I wonder how much people are just clipping off all
the negative pub that there's been about him in clutch
situations or whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
He seems to be wearing that a lot more the last.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Dave Roberts like emails it to him every day like
a spam account. Just keep printing that. It's like we're
well over budget. You can't keep printing him in color.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I don't care. Keep him going.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It seems to fuel him.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
The biggest play from this game, as we break things down,
it was a two to nothing Dodger lead, top of
the fourth inning, runner at first, one out, and a
what could have been a double play grounder to Tommy
Edmond at second base. Now Bashett runs, Okay, he's not
incredibly fast, but right now he's hobbled. So's at step stone. Yeah,
(03:07):
but it looked like it could have been a double play.
But the ball goes under Tommy Edmund's glove instead of
at least two outs in a runner. At first, you're
talking about maybe a double play. One battle later on
Hunter Kirk's home run, a three run jack that gives
the Blue Jays a three to two lead. They put
up another run in that inning off of Tyler Glass, knowing, look,
(03:28):
this is what's crazy about major League Baseball. Just one
play can just change so many different things. And here's
a game that was two nothing, the Dodgers were winning,
and all of a sudden it's three to two because
the ball goes under Tommy Edmunds glove. And I'll tell
you what. You can find this on Twitter at how
about a Fresco findal out of the fourth inning when
Tyler Glass noo finally gets out of it, strikes gets
(03:49):
a strikeout to end the inning, and it looks like
he is staring Daggers at Tommy Edmond at second base
on his way off the mound like that this is
not a striket. It looks like he deaflytt takes a
second to look out at Tommy em in a second, going, man,
you screwed me on that.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Clearly, hey he gave up the home run, gave up too,
But it's just like that's kind of Tyler Glass yeah,
but that's the thing, right, that's him, right, the emotion,
and we've I don't know that there's a guy on
the Dodgers that's gotten more poison, pen ink and vitriolic
rants against him. Everybody else gets flowers no matter how
(04:26):
poorly you play, no how it matter how long and
prolonged your funks are at the plate or on the mound. Uh,
that guy has worn it like from everybody in town.
So that going didn't give it up the home run.
It just reminds me of the Cubs meltdown after the
Bartman incident going on. It's like, okay, the guy didn't
turn the double play. Normally a sure handed shortstop Gonzales
(04:50):
doesn't make that play you got prior on the mound
kind of jumping up and down.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It's like, no, no, no, shut up and make a pitch.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Same thing with glass now here, you got the next
batter to fly out, like in theory, you got yourself composed,
and then you give up the home run and you're
still gonna glare at him. No, no, no, that plays gone, yeah,
that plays you know fifty you know, three minutes ago,
five minutes ago, whatever the lapsed time was, like get
over yourself and make a pitch. Now, let me just
say this as well before again because we had an
(05:17):
update from this game. Is that two things that worried
me about the Dodgers coming into the World Series, Right,
we talked about the first thing a lot, right, the
bounce the Dodgers starting pitching staff is gonna get. They're
not gonna pitch like they did in the NLCS. You're
just not going to keep that up. And the Blue
Jays lineup is much better than the Brewers lineup. But
I said, defensively, the Dodgers are not good. And Edmund,
(05:37):
who's one of their more short handed guys, this is
a killer of an air, an absolute killer of an
error frame because again this flips the game from two
nothing to three to two really to four to two. Right,
that's that's that's a six run swing. That's like, well,
there's a twelve point swinger, you know, the touchdown on
the other end, but the pitch six going the other way,
that is a six run swing because as Tommy Edmond
(06:00):
doesn't get up, that goes under his glove and it's
not even a play that you could say, well, it
was really hard, like he's got to make that he's
gonna turn, gonna get the out at second, and maybe
it's a relay back to first for double play. That
is a six run swing. The two things Dodger pitching staff,
Dodger defense, and here we are. However, it is now
a brand new game in the bottom of the fifth inning,
and the Blue Jays are going to the bullpen again.
(06:22):
I think Mike Timlin is coming in.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
After Mookie Betts flew out to shallow left field, Freddie
Freeman doubles down the line in right field to bring
in Sho Hao Tani with the game tying run. And
so now time out on the field right now, as
the Blue Jays going to the bullpen again. The Dodgers
blue Jays now tied at four a piece in the
bottom of the fifth inning. Every we've had, we've had
(06:47):
all kinds of base running gaffs. Freeman makes a base
running gaff earlier, Bishet makes a big base running gaff
in the second inning. This game has been absolutely bonkers
so far up and it's not been great baseball, but
it's been fun. It's been exciting. Is I can't believe this.
Oh my goodness, you got Otani with three hits already,
and he's got two doubles in a home run, and
it's five to five in the fourth inning, and the
(07:09):
fifth inning like this, it's four to four and the
fifth inning. Rather, this is it. You know, look, I
look at this game and I go, man, it's like
seeing the first great half of a movie, where you're like, oh,
this is I can't wait see what the second half
is now. Usually the second half disappoints, but I hope
it not for the last four innings of this game. Yeah,
we've watched a lot of movies in the last couple
of years, or that third act falls apart. But I mean,
what's funny is this game started within about what five
(07:31):
minutes of the kickoff of Monday night football with the
Chiefs and the Commanders. That football game is going to
be long over, oh baseball game. They'll be doing press
conferences and everything. I mean they're already down inside of
five minutes in the third quarter. That's how fast that
first half went. Bunch of turnovers. Ye, that game's been
wild just the same way. A bunch of things. I
don't know that I saw it. They just had a
(07:52):
great shot of the watch party in japan people with
their noise makers and losing their minds. As Otani round
in third and scored the tying run. But yeah, just
just an insane sequence, no question about it. I mean,
this is nearly a two hour game in the bottom
of the fifth inning. This is like those old Yankee
Red Sox ALCS games. That's fine, Just you lock yourself
(08:14):
in for four and a half hours, because you know
that's how long it's gone. It's not gonna take. Yes, yeah,
well be four and a half hours in the Alcs.
Don't worry. Cut to a dancing rob Manford. We got
extra adspot.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
This great.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
They're gonna keep going to the bullpen and we're gonna
get to run more commercials.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah to ching ching chi ching.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So the Blue Jays get out of the bottom of
the fifth inning. However, we go to the top of
the six and is a brand new game four to four,
Game three of the World Series. You know the stats.
The winner of Game three and a series tied one
one incredible advantage to win the World Series. So four innings,
everything is brand new. We've had mistakes, we've had big plays,
we've had big hits. Yeah, none of that matters. Anymore,
(08:54):
and it matters what happens from here on out because
all that that that's in the way back machine. I
was laughing when we speaking the way back machine. I
think Sherman and Peabody is a popular Halloween costume this year,
which yeah, kind of interesting. Really, Yeah, kids were talking
about Okay, anyway, Philly Karen is not the most popular. Well,
I don't know if that the teenagers want to get
(09:16):
on board that. Okay, all right, Still Philly Karen's kind
of funny either way. I mean, Freeman stole second, yeah again,
stop the presses. Yeah, that was one. If you had
a prop bet on Freeman stealing a base, you probably
paid off well. And then and then they hit check
of him trying to score from second Borge's got an
incredible arm, and Freddy Freeman tries to score from second base.
I'm saying, dude, is that a heat check for you?
(09:36):
That's a heat check. I'm gonna score from second on
this Like you and I just looked at each other
like he's out by like eight steps.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It's just waiting on him. Just make sure you get
the tag down.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Was all that hadn't happened there, just amazing, like why
was he sent and that was the third out of
the enning. So again, we'll have more on baseball coming
up in a few minutes, but right now in Kansas City,
Monday Night football, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey, this connection
has been rediscovered. Now eighty three career touchdowns for Travis
(10:07):
Kelcey as Mahomes finds him to give the Chiefs a
twenty one to seven lead midway through the third quarter.
Now here's the thing about this game, right, We talked
about this and Frostburg's gonna hate this, but really, all
year long, what have I said? Stock up Patrick Mahomes,
stock down Chiefs. Mahomes is the MVP of the league
so far, right, and I think if you're trying to
(10:29):
to make a list of who the list is, really
who's below it because he is absolutely dragging the Chiefs
to everything. In the first half, they couldn't overcome his
two interceptions. Now, the second one was not his fault,
it was Travis Kelcey. It hits off of him and
it bounces in, So that was just a bad play
by Kelsey. But the Chiefs can't run the football, and
still Mahomes is their leading rusher, and still he is
(10:51):
finding a way to drag the Chiefs down the field.
His reads are right every single time. He is finding
enough time to now you're watching him instead of buying
time and throwing downfield, he is buying time waiting for
a close receiver to break free, either running back coming
out of the backfield. Big game they had. In the
last drive, Travis Kelsey was in blocking, but when Mahomes
(11:13):
kept the play alive, Kelsey just kind of slides out
to the right. Not a guy you needed to account
for because he was staying in the block, but because
of the way the play was, Mahomes keeps it alive.
It's a thirty seven yard game. Like this is the
best Mahomes that we have seen in a long time,
the fantasy wise. You know, right, number one quarterback in
the NFL. But yeah, there's guys right under Mahomes. You
can say, hey, you're talking about MVP. No one is
(11:34):
dragging his team to success more than Mahomes is doing
that with the Chiefs so far this year. Yeah, it
was one of my favorite plays we've seen. And this
was a wild week, no question about it. But just
the way Kelsey kind of sneaked out and turned back
and up the sideline he went. But yeah, Mahomes right
now is your leader in the clubhouse for the MVP odds.
(11:55):
People starting to make the case for Jonathan Taylor given
his massive start to the year. When you talk about
a touchdown total, he's already at where Barkley was a
year ago. Here's a hot take. They got the right team,
they got the wrong guy. That's right, the wrong guy.
We must have been the right place at the wrong time.
He's yeah, there, you got plays wrong time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(12:17):
but it was the wrong time.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Got to be the right.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Josh Allen's second at plus three fifty, Drake May all
the way up to third, he's now five.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
That's a the Patriots schedule, it's like they're playing an
f C could always play.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
You can only beat who's on the schedule. You got
to fit the suit.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You can't give me Drake May, Drake May. You gotta
beat a team that's good at some point. Man, every
team you're playing is terrible. And you haven't even played
the Jets once yet you have played the Hey, they're
on a one game heater. Oh the Jet's never gonna
lose again. But you haven't even played the Jets once
yet they got you back just game you have not.
I mean, come on, man.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Then you had Baker Mayfield, Matthew Stafford, Daniel Jones still
at fifteen to one. Yeah, day right, guy number two
behind Mahomes not Jonathan. Get the difference in that Drake
Max Drake may doing it against against teams that can't
even field defenses. These are this may be the easiest
schedule I have seen the team have in the NFL
(13:20):
in five years.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Easy. Easy.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I'm looking play anybody, It'll play anybody. Hey, bellichicks out?
We can Can we get the Patriots back?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Then?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, there is a scheduling algorithm like just said, Hey,
let's look it up. So we get a back a
half fast teams for him and still the NFL buddy,

Speaker 4 (16:52):
It's going okay? How are you guys doing?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Every buddy?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Well, uh, well, I'm doing better now. The Jets won
a game, so that's okay. Now they never gonna lose again.
I'm feeling okay.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
What a wrong one man? Yeah? Good for Justin Field.
I mean, it's what a what a What a week
that young man had to go through. Uh, you know,
I got a kick out of the NFL, you know,
and it's Twitter feed, you know, promoting everything Justin Fields
had to say, I you know, quote tweeted them. So, yeah,
(17:22):
where what do you think about what? You know, his
billionaire overlord had to say about him and call him
out in public and all that stuff that, you know,
led to Justin Field's introspection. I don't think I'll hear
back from the probably not.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Let us know what you do. That'd be great.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I'm that a little interesting, right, Like there's all like
caught up in their touchy feelies. But when when Woody
Johnson struts around like a jackass punk at ownership meetings
and pops off about people and says ridiculous things and
comports himself like an unprofessional jackass. Good for Justin Field
for being the more mature guy.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, it makes me envious of Jerry Jones at times, like, well, hi,
I wish we had that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Guy man man, Well.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
He said he was a good owner except for the
winning part.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Okay, right, Yeah, good for Justin Fields, man, what a
wild game and the NFL, right, I mean, who the
hell really knows from week to week.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Now, speaking of week to week, we'll talk quarterbacks here now,
Patrick Mahomes. Look, we talked about this a few minutes ago. Yeah,
there's lots of guys having great seasons, but I didn't
know that there's anybody dragging his team like Patrick Mahomes
has been dragging the Chiefs to wins and competition and
staying afloat with injuries. It's still the leading rusher for
the Chiefs, making all the right decisions now instead of
(18:43):
keeping plays alive to throw deep down field, he keeping
plays alive and he's hitting outlet guys, guys that aren't
even in the pattern. Like I'm watching Mahomes saying, this
is clearly the best Mahomes we've seen in a long time.
And there's I think that's why he's at the top
of the MVP race right now.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Yeah, look he's it's not as you know, the downfield
thrustoll wasn't there, and I thought it would probably come
back tonight with you know, Rice having a game under
his belt, but it hasn't. And I know Dan Quinn
and how he plays, but he plays the same way.
Pete Carroll plays. I mean, you know, they did get
(19:18):
a few shots against those guys, so that's not there yet.
But yeah, I mean he's throwing for three touchdowns a
game again with regularity. I mean, we'll see what the
fourth quarter holds here. They're starting to roll up thirty
on people without it looking that hard in the process.
And this would be, you know, if they were to
do it another one of those where you come out
(19:40):
and it's interception interception, and you know, we'll see if
they still manage to do what they have been doing. Yeah,
I mean, you look around the landscape. Baker think he's
banged up and he's a gamer, but you know, his
numbers have tailed off. We've seen injuries obviously impact this race.
So I think Jark a guy nobody talks about. But
(20:02):
I mean we all made a big deal about him
losing his coordinator and everything, and his numbers might look
pretty nuts at the end of the year. And hey,
like dude, everybody's falling all over themselves about Jonathan Taylor
and like he's a nice player and all that stuff's great,
but what the hell changed there? It seems to be
one thing changed there.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Oh, I got Daniel Jones, right, over the quarterback.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
He's calling thirty five points a games Taylor. Now, Taylor's
been there behind basically that same offensive line for six years,
you know what I mean. Pittman's been there. Like they
drafted a tight end, which is great, But I mean
the quarterback is completing like seventy four percent of his
passes for two hundred and seventy yards a game, and
he's leading the league in yards per tempt and it's
(20:46):
not closed. It's big boys stuff Like, I don't know, man,
how is he not? I mean, we're approaching the middle
of the season. How is he not at least been
here the top three?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Now you got Drake may as the third guy right now,
Daniel Joe and still sitting down at fifteen to one.
We were just checking the odds a few minutes ago.
So you got that cast, But you got a little
bit of a story there brewing in Baltimore. I jetted
in quickly for that one. My brothers organized something. Jason
and I got on my phone and I said, Hey,
this guy's now not playing, so scout team subterfuge.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
With the big week that the NBA had, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
NFL officers are like, hey, hey, hey, we don't need this,
So I guess he's gonna play. On Thursday. We get
the multi MVP Lamar Jackson back. But how's it playing
in Baltimore?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Not real well, I mean it's not me, it's more importantly,
it's not playing real well with the league office. And
the timing was terrible. Hardballs the coach in the leading
eighteen years. You know the role, they all know the home,
they know exactly what was doing. He's practicing with the
scout team because it didn't he wasn't going to play.
I mean it was unlikely even me. Come on, like
so the whole thing about it, you know, question them
(21:54):
all and full practice, like stop stopping. You were playing
games and you got caught and then they get fined
and maybe they'll lose the draft pick too, and you know, look,
the most important thing around here is they found a
way to beat the Bears. And I wasn't sure they
were gonna and Stu Puntley played the best football game
he's played in a long time, and they won the
(22:16):
run over battle, which had not been doing and the
Bears had been doing better than anybody else, and so
they saved their season. And now I mean, I mean,
I think they're better than Miami. But you know I
would have told you three days ago I think most
of the leagues better than Miami. And well what if
(22:40):
I don't what do you make of that?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
They out physical Atlanta, like Atlanta's offensive line and their
backs have been bullying people, and they out physical Atlanta
for four quarters. Like I don't know, Gents like is
my I mean, I don't know. I don't know. It
could be a weird game on Thursday night. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
NFL insider Jason Locking for our guest Jason Smith Mike
Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Now today,
Camp Scattaboo had injury surgery on his dislocated ankle. Really
ugly play, awful break for a guy who was giving
the Giants identity they'd become fun. He's one of the
more fun rookies. But Jay, again, this is the hip
drop tackle that gets Skataboo injured. And I get it,
(23:22):
and I would love to see them figure something out
about this. But I don't know how you you ban
the hip drop tackle because guys aren't gonna let go
if they're trying to tackle a guy. I mean that
that's a really hard thing. I mean, I don't want
to see guys get hurt like this anymore, and I'd
love to see them not do it. But I don't
know how you ban it. I don't know how you
how you sit there and say, okay, that's this kind
of tackle and we can get rid of it, because
(23:42):
defensive players aren't going to just let go of guys
that they're trying to tackle.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
No, I don't. You can't legislate all this out of
the game. It's it's dude, look at these Look at
these guys the plane on the same field, New Rocky Playoffs.
It's I mean, it's a it's an inherently violent, uber
violent sport. I mean it, it's just it's just and
(24:10):
you know, help with safety and all this like and
and I applaud every effort, every real effort that's made
in that in that regard, but you're not going to
be able to take it out. You're not going to
be ab eliminate all these players that put you know,
incredible force on hip sockets and these sockets and ankles.
White State.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But even put rules in Jason, I mean, you've got
the idea like we watched.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yeah, I mean, like it's a gladiator sport. It's not
an exaggeration, and it's played at an incredibly high level
and there's a you're you're looking. I mean, these guys
are in like fighter or what flight fight or flight
mode for you know, eighty steps a game, like that's
what it is. Like your head has to content be
(25:00):
on a swivel when you have to be locked in
or you might get hurt and you're doing what your
survival mode. Man, And so guys, I mean, stuff's gonna happen,
and are you going to have a totally proper form
tackle and you're tasing somebody down from behind? Like do not.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
But even if you get the legislation on something like that, Jason,
we watched the the Vikings against the Chargers on Thursday
night where we just watched Carson Wentz become a pinata
and just like that.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
I'm a big Kevin O'Connell guy, and I think he's
a super sharp dude, and I think he's had an
impeccable start his coaching career. But I don't know how
like if you think got little or your number three,
like I don't, I mean it was a bad, ugly
look and it continued, like, I mean, at least three
series more than it probably had to. I mean that
(25:53):
game was pretty much over half time, was definitely over,
you know, in the third quarter, and they started sort
of coaching it like it was over. So I couldn't
I just couldn't figure out, like why they didn't start
looking at the developmental quarterback. Yeah, it's it's I mean
that guy was could barely protect himself and they kept
sending him out there. And I mean, I don't know,
(26:16):
like we're never going to reach a point where the
unaffiliated you know, like concussion guy is also going to
be like to need Hey, you need to pull this
guy because he's clearly in distress because of an elbow
or because of a shoulder. And and again that's just
gonna that stuff's going to happen, like you know, even
if you tried to find a team for it, Like
(26:38):
it's it's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Let's get to other quarterbacks here.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Let's get back to the AFC North here for a
couple of seconds after Dylan Gabriel's game yesterday and the
safety where he just decided I don't want to get rushed,
I'm throwing the ball out of bounds. How much closer
are you getting to Shador Sanders playing for the Browns?
How much close?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Look, it's clear that you know, the Oaks was not
on board with his draft pick, so he's doing all
he can to obstruct and whatever. And you know, he'll
probably want to run Zappi out there for a couple
of weeks first, but it's going to happen. It was
always going to happen. We were talking about this since
when he got drafted and all through the summer, and
you know, and Dylan Gabriel looked good in the preseason,
and I've said the same thing all the whole time
(27:19):
when you look at the ply chart of most snaps
that quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. When it's all said
and done this season, I would continue to throw my
darts at Sanders being the last guy to get a shot.
But he'll get a shot sooner than you think, and
he'll probably play more snaps than the other two combined.
And I still think, I mean, I think that's how
it's shaping up. Dyllan Gabriel is not an NFL quarterback.
(27:41):
He's not even an NFL backup right now, you can
tell me, well, he was a part of a win
and he's around. You know, he played a couple of games.
He wasn't turning it over yet. But he also cannot
push the ball downfield. He can aryusy over the line
of scrimmage, he can move, but he's not an uber
athlete to totally be able to defend himself. And he
was going to start turning the ball over if you
watch those as it was inevitable. Yeah, I don't see
(28:04):
the upside there, and they're gonna be in the market
to probably draft one again next year, So I don't
know why you wouldn't look at Sanders first. But again
it's pretty clear as the fast he's not into that idea.
And I think I'll keep using the practice excuse. But
in the next week or two, Zappi will have to
start playing, and he's a backup. You can play without
getting all the reps, and those Pendulum will practice reps
will have to start swinging the Sanders and they're gonna
(28:27):
have to go to that route because this is I mean,
it's just not it's not professional grave. He's a developmental
kid who has serious physical limitations.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
He's on Twitter at Jason Locke and four at Jason
lock and for a wanna bet one oh five seven
the fan in Baltimore. Honesty Washington Post. Jay is always buddy,
Thanks so much, enjoying the games. We'll talk to you
next week.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Thank you guys, do the same, see you.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Jays would be good.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I have the question for you, though, Yeah, does Stefanski
do the uh uh?
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Basically, Darren Jimmy Hazel the Fireman, you won't play.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Look, hey, everything is going fine. I even tell you
in my Browns will start five guys, five guys this year. Right,
we're almost getting close to that third guy. And I
think Jason's right, it's gonna be Zappy is gonna be next.
And eventually we're gonna get to Shadors And now I
think your dr standers will wind up being fourth, Oka
the wind up being fourth when we get to the
like now, now we're going to point where okay, Dylan
(29:21):
Gabriel's wearing out as welcome, where you get third, he's
gonna be fourth, and then the fifth game of the season,
the fifth quarterback. Maybe we go all the way back
to Dylan Gabriel or but we're getting we're getting them,
or somebody else's not on the team. You never know,
maybe the Jets trade Justin Fields while he's hot, Like yeah,
oh sorry, is that.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
After Justin.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Story on the top week? Jet's got a lot of
feel good stories. Now, make trades. We're one and seven,
make trades. Make the way that Dylan Gabriel trades might
have been one of the worst.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
That was awful.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I mean that goes on the list of quarterback I
mean because Mariota did it earlier in the in the game.
Now it doesn't cost him because it was not at
the end of the game, but on a fourth down play,
he sails it out of bounds, like you're going for it,
you're loosing the ball on downs and you just gave them.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Just throw it to the opposition.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Then bine Jack time now to find out what's trending
in the wide world of sports with someone who's been
called the Tyler glassnow of Fox Sports Radio. He also
spent some time glaring at Tommy Edmund after the fourth inning,
it's Steve to.
Speaker 7 (30:14):
Say, it's right now four to four Toronto at the Dodgers.
In the top of the seventh and another pitching change,
the Dodgers had the starter glass now at La Native
by the way, only pitch half the game tonight. So
what has been the Achilles heel of the Dodgers the
last three months? Their poor bullpen is asked to get
half the outs in this game tonight. Lefty Anthony Bondo
(30:37):
gave up a grand slam over the weekend got the
one out to end the fifth inning. Justin Robleski, another lefty,
has just pitched an inning and two thirds. He's just
now being replaced. Meanwhile, we see, yet again out of
the Toronto bullpen, Lewis Varlin. He's thrown in nearly every playoff.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Game they have had this month.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
This is his twelfth appearance, hitting at a third scoreless
with a couple of strikeouts. It's a game because of
the blue Jays four run fourth inning, the key air
to second baseman Tommy Edmund of La. Two of the
runs were unearned, so the Blue Jays had the lead
at the time. Alejandro Kirk with a three run shot.
By the way, the great Sarah Langs with a little
foreshadowing just in case, only one player in a World
(31:17):
Series game has had four extra base hits. Sotani has
three and has three at bats so far ground woruld double,
solo homer, and an RBI double. And I will note
ahead of time, since the World Series is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
In LA, temperatures in the low sixties tonight, it's going
to be a daytime high of ninety the next two days,
(31:38):
which means about eighty degrees first pitch the next two nights.
Anytime it gets warmer, the ball flies more. At Dodger Stadium.
Corey Seger notably had a World Series home run against
Justin Verlander for that exact reason on one hundred degree
day in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Now also to getting update, it said, the Don Stanhouse.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Is coming in so nice.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
We'll make sure the Dodgers right now.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
If that's the game. If that's the case, the game
is over. Some of us remember there were some of the.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Worst relievers that Dodge have had. Don Stanhouse, everyone that
got damned. He was standing the man unusual, they called them.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
That was always an adventure. That was the offseason where
the Dodgers spent their big money on Don Stanhouse and
Dave Golds. Oh my goodness, it's Flake Trining coming in
right now. At the top of the seventh in a
four to four game. Ta Oskar Hernandez does have a
solo homer. Longtime baseball writer Jason Stark pointed out that
Hernandez had not only been slumping recently in the playoffs,
(32:32):
but in this World Series had been zero for seven
with five strikeouts until that. No doubt her home run
the left He has a second hit tonight as well.
He had been the only hitter in either lineup without
a hit in this World Series. Two huge base running plays,
I believe it or not, though, the Blue Jays had
a guy simply walk off first base and get picked off,
(32:53):
thinking that his teammate at home had taken ball four.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
And the Dodger did that once in a softball game.
I did that one, and I was and they were.
It was a big softball game, and I thought like
the guy had a walk, and I was just kind
of frozen, like I thought it was ball four and
the up would wait and the catcher just knew he
just and in softball you just had to beat the throat,
just had to beat enough to tag you out. It
was like a four from softball. So I was off
(33:18):
too much. I was like, what what I was like?
By the time I dove back in, I was out.
I walked back to Die said, I'm so sorry, guys,
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Never in my life did I think that a first
base coach in softball would be the equal of a
first base coach in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
But he was actually no help at.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
First Hey, uh oh hello.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Ah crap.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
And they showed the replay with sound and you could
hear the strike call from the umpire and then the
runner started walking to second base.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
It's like, it's anybody doing here.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
Meanwhile, on the Dodger said Freddie Freeman was thrown at
at home by a mile from Addison Barger at Barger
in rightfield, who they put up a graphic, was top
five in the American League in outfield assists. His throw
home was clocked at ninety eight miles an hour. By
the way, the Blue Jays have won eight straight games
when Alejandro Kirk homers. He has a three run shot.
(34:09):
Tonight it's four to four top of the seventh. We
mentioned a new reliever in Blake Trinin has allowed a
single to Vladimericarero Junior. So the seventh isn't over yet.
And in the Monday Night football game. You're right, this
is going to end much sooner than baseball. Chiefs now
up twenty eight to seven on Washington with under eight
minutes to go. Patrick Mahomes with three touchdown passes in
(34:31):
the second half. And as far as the NBA, we
had a Philadelphia win. Phillies three to zero beat Orlando
one thirty six one twenty four. Tyrese Maxi had forty
three points, eight assists and one turnover.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve O, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon,
lock from the Fox Sports Radio studios. We got more
on Monday Night Football Game four, the Game three in
the World Series as well, and straight ahead, we get
into the biggest coaching story out of football this weekend,
something that is still shocking us here on Monday Night.
That's next right here, Jason to Mike, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I want to have a gun, blow hot dogs into
the stands.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Dodgers' bullpen comes in and there goes the lead a
two out double down the line in right that bounces
off of the stands and into the middle of the
field to Oscar. Hernandez can't get there fast enough. Vlad
Junior just beats the tag at the plate and the
Blue Jays now have a five to four lead over La.
(35:47):
Dodgers just get out of the inning, but is a
one run lead for the Blue Jays. Now Dodgers come
to bat in the bottom of the seventh, Well, we
got that ballance, we got that.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Balance, right, Jason.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
The home run by ta Oscar started, so he was
in the h he was in the black, and then
he decided, I'm gonna throw this up the first That's
a horrible throw in any kind of good throw to
the plate gets Vlad Junior. But this throw is ten
feet wide of home plate, and still it's always come
almost comes back. And he keeps both teams in the
(36:19):
game better than anybody else. Offensively what he does for
the Dodgers, but base running, because he got thrown out
the last inning trying to go all the way to
third base and Vlad Junior threw him out. And now
the air, you know, the bad throat of the plate,
like he keeps both teams in the game. Man, there
is nobody that good might be one of the most
exciting players in baseball. I'll tell you my goodness. Uh
but we'll have more football coming up in a couple
(36:40):
of minutes. But time now for the play of the day.
The play of the day, of course, is brought to
you by ti iraq dot com tire rack dot com

You find the right way and how to get tires.
The air ship fast and free backed by free Road,

(37:01):
Tyrack dot com is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Well.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
When you go twenty four and fifteen and you help
your team to improve to be four and oh hey Wemby,
you get to be the play of the day.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I mean, I'm an catching ripping through sixty one.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Pulley ability is too good?
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Who watch us here?
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Beautiful three sixties Spurs TV on the call now. I
remember this because when I was on my heater, I
gave you the cults in the last offseason. Hey, long
shot super Bowl team this year, Daniel Jones is gonna
wind up doing good things. Wow. Before the season started,
said watch out this Spurs team when Wemby shows when
he becomes the best player in the league. And I said,
(37:49):
it's gonna happen by by some time this year. It
may happen by the end of October. Another big night
for him. The Spurs are four and oh right now,
and they are deep, they are young, are playing incredible
and Wemby clearly is gonna show you. Yeah, okay, like
in a couple of weeks, it's gonna be well, yeah,
Wemby's the best.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I don't know when that happened, but yeah, he's the
best player in the league. It just just sort of
everybody just sort of nodded their head, like, yeah, it's
already there where the Wemby era is here. You know
what also helps is all the other superstars aren't playing.
That always does help to it does help their team stink. Yeah,
like like Jalen Brown's been fantastic. Yeah, the Celtics have
not been no big win the night. Look the Lakers
tonight they're playing with four guys, Like there's reason to
(38:28):
score seventy five. I don't know, man, he's got to
be exhausted after scolling fifty. Yeah, he's still young. He's
gonna have ten to nightis in his arm for all
the shots tonight. All of a sudden, that elbow goes
flying up into the third death. Boy, I'm fib tied.
Feeling good about feeling good about the Colts, feeling good
about the Spurs. I'm not a heater man, I'm not
a heater y. I'm on a long shot heater.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Heater heater. Well, they were fifty to one heater.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
I mean, obviously it's a crowded Western Conference and it's
only a couple of weeks in, but you know, you
get it pretty excitable about some of the highlights that
you get from women Yama. So Adam Silver is really happy. Yeah,
he is a highlight.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
It doesn't want to well, doesn't want to deal with gambling.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Stove with this.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Uh so, no show jobs, gambling, Wemby highlights. Give me
the Wemby highlights, and I don't want highlights of Wemby
planting trees. Let me see him three sixty, let's see lamps,
let me see all that. Hey, it's Halloween on Friday.
You know he loves to dress up. Can't wait to
see what he does this.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
So Meanwhile, biggest football story of the weekend coaching wise,
Brian Kelly let go as LSU head coach. I was
surprised when this happened because we talked about this Friday night.
I'm like, they don't have a full time president, they
have an interim president. They're still trying to find a
way to elect who the full time president. They're not
gonna let Brian Kelly go. No, Apparently LSU doesn't care.
We will pay find a way to pay out this
(39:43):
fifty million dollars that we owe him, and they're moving
on and he is no longer the LSU head coach.
Can't Soayn, I'm surprised because you have three years of
three and four losses. LSU thought they were going to
get better. But this is another example of how out
of control college football is. Because I understand you being upset,
but who are you gonna get that's better than Brian Kelly?
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Where are you gonna go?
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I get you're upset, I get the year, But this
is a guy that's built a winning program. Yet that
he have was every year great at not trade No,
but the expectations you're really unrealistic that and you're gonna
who are you gonna go out and get right now,
that's better if you want to let him go at
the end of the Okay, great, I understand when you
have somebody in place, but what are you gonna who's
out there? Who are gonna go get? Urban Meyer can
only get one job, whether it's Penn State or Urban
(40:29):
Meyer can only get one job. There's nobody else out
there you're gonna go out and get. But yet, this
is the way we're at right now. That college is
because a lot of them can just print money. It's just, yeah, well,
we don't care about this. The guy's not winning. We'll
figure out a way around.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
This with them. Mother.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
They has never figured out the money. Yet we're gonna
do this. This is another rick. College football is just
out of control with it.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Funny.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
I can't lump them all in together right these big
coaching changes, because there's there's certainly a divide. I mean,
we talk about struggling on the field, but then there's
the guy. And I think that's where Brian Kelly gets
caught in the switches here, is that there's not a
lot of people that vouch for the guy Brian at
least so when it becomes the we're not winning and
he's not the favorite of boosters and everybody around the
(41:08):
program or former players plenty of them lining up to
take their shots as well. Uh De commits, et cetera,
that you're You're like, well, I can see where this
goes sideways on you, and you'll you'll take the buyout
and move on.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Early returns.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
You got Lane Kiff and Jeff Brahm, Dillingham, James Franklin, some.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Raw Lee's dabbo.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
I mean, there's a heavy, heavy hitters, and then eventually
you get down to Urban Meyer and some of the
other names about America's an interim coach. Can he come back?
Oh yeah, Yeahndred percent you think do you think that
did he remember that?
Speaker 4 (41:41):
They had him.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
So familiar?
Speaker 3 (41:44):
I know that it's really me.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Hey wait, why did he leave again?
Speaker 7 (41:47):
Now?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
I got yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
More from Game three of the World Series Monday Night Football,
another big story out of the NFL.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Well. Here we are at.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
A big sports Equinox day, just a thirty second day ever,
all four major sports in action at the same time.
And speaking of action at Chavez Ravine right now, a
play that happened about forty seconds ago. Show Hey Otani
who already had a double and a home run tonight,
Dodgers down four to two to the Blue Jays. In
(01:17):
the bottom of the fifth inning, doubles to the wall
in left center to bring in Keke Hernandez. That makes
it a four to three game. Otani at second, one out.
Max schurzread exited the game, and you know, Blue Jays go, oh,
we want to bring in the left You to pitch
to Otani. Yeah, that didn't really matter. So here's Mooki
betch with the chance to tie the game.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Here again.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Otani now two doubles in a home run tonight. It
is his first opposite field hits since September twentieth, so
you know he's been trying to pull the ball a
ton So we have a game right now again one out,
top of the bottom of the fifth inning. Still a
long way to go here.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Four to three.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Blue Jays lead the Dodgers. Seventy seventh at bat. They said, yeah,
this since that last Tan. But he got to second
base and he was standing there and he started bellowing
like he.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Was the road warrior.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
He said, what rush two? As you said, he had
the double in the home run off Sureser. So he said,
we're not gonna let him get back at him again.
Let's bring in the left He flu hardy ah, oh wait,
didn't that hurts? Can he throw it from forty feet
away instead of sixty feet six inches? Maybe that would work?
Like he is, Otani is on an absolute heater right now.
(02:25):
I wonder how much people are just clipping off all
the negative pub that there's been about him in clutch
situations or whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
He seems to be wearing that a lot more the last.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Dave Roberts like emails it to him every day like
a spam account. Just keep printing that. It's like we're
well over budget. You can't keep printing him in color.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I don't care. Keep him going.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It seems to fuel him.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
The biggest play from this game, as we break things down,
it was a two to nothing Dodger lead, top of
the fourth inning, runner at first, one out, and a
what could have been a double play grounder to Tommy
Edmond at second base. Now Bashett runs, Okay, he's not
incredibly fast, but right now he's hobbled. So's at step stone. Yeah,
(03:07):
but it looked like it could have been a double play.
But the ball goes under Tommy Edmund's glove instead of
at least two outs in a runner. At first, you're
talking about maybe a double play. One battle later on
Hunter Kirk's home run, a three run jack that gives
the Blue Jays a three to two lead. They put
up another run in that inning off of Tyler Glass, knowing, look,
(03:28):
this is what's crazy about major League Baseball. Just one
play can just change so many different things. And here's
a game that was two nothing, the Dodgers were winning,
and all of a sudden it's three to two because
the ball goes under Tommy Edmunds glove. And I'll tell
you what. You can find this on Twitter at how
about a Fresco findal out of the fourth inning when
Tyler Glass noo finally gets out of it, strikes gets
(03:49):
a strikeout to end the inning, and it looks like
he is staring Daggers at Tommy Edmond at second base
on his way off the mound like that this is
not a striket. It looks like he deaflytt takes a
second to look out at Tommy em in a second, going, man,
you screwed me on that.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Clearly, hey he gave up the home run, gave up too,
But it's just like that's kind of Tyler Glass yeah,
but that's the thing, right, that's him, right, the emotion,
and we've I don't know that there's a guy on
the Dodgers that's gotten more poison, pen ink and vitriolic
rants against him. Everybody else gets flowers no matter how
(04:26):
poorly you play, no how it matter how long and
prolonged your funks are at the plate or on the mound. Uh,
that guy has worn it like from everybody in town.
So that going didn't give it up the home run.
It just reminds me of the Cubs meltdown after the
Bartman incident going on. It's like, okay, the guy didn't
turn the double play. Normally a sure handed shortstop Gonzales
(04:50):
doesn't make that play you got prior on the mound
kind of jumping up and down.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It's like, no, no, no, shut up and make a pitch.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Same thing with glass now here, you got the next
batter to fly out, like in theory, you got yourself composed,
and then you give up the home run and you're
still gonna glare at him. No, no, no, that plays gone, yeah,
that plays you know fifty you know, three minutes ago,
five minutes ago, whatever the lapsed time was, like get
over yourself and make a pitch. Now, let me just
say this as well before again because we had an
(05:17):
update from this game. Is that two things that worried
me about the Dodgers coming into the World Series, Right,
we talked about the first thing a lot, right, the
bounce the Dodgers starting pitching staff is gonna get. They're
not gonna pitch like they did in the NLCS. You're
just not going to keep that up. And the Blue
Jays lineup is much better than the Brewers lineup. But
I said, defensively, the Dodgers are not good. And Edmund,
(05:37):
who's one of their more short handed guys, this is
a killer of an air, an absolute killer of an
error frame because again this flips the game from two
nothing to three to two really to four to two. Right,
that's that's that's a six run swing. That's like, well,
there's a twelve point swinger, you know, the touchdown on
the other end, but the pitch six going the other way,
that is a six run swing because as Tommy Edmond
(06:00):
doesn't get up, that goes under his glove and it's
not even a play that you could say, well, it
was really hard, like he's got to make that he's
gonna turn, gonna get the out at second, and maybe
it's a relay back to first for double play. That
is a six run swing. The two things Dodger pitching staff,
Dodger defense, and here we are. However, it is now
a brand new game in the bottom of the fifth inning,
and the Blue Jays are going to the bullpen again.
(06:22):
I think Mike Timlin is coming in.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
After Mookie Betts flew out to shallow left field, Freddie
Freeman doubles down the line in right field to bring
in Sho Hao Tani with the game tying run. And
so now time out on the field right now, as
the Blue Jays going to the bullpen again. The Dodgers
blue Jays now tied at four a piece in the
bottom of the fifth inning. Every we've had, we've had
(06:47):
all kinds of base running gaffs. Freeman makes a base
running gaff earlier, Bishet makes a big base running gaff
in the second inning. This game has been absolutely bonkers
so far up and it's not been great baseball, but
it's been fun. It's been exciting. Is I can't believe this.
Oh my goodness, you got Otani with three hits already,
and he's got two doubles in a home run, and
it's five to five in the fourth inning, and the
(07:09):
fifth inning like this, it's four to four and the
fifth inning. Rather, this is it. You know, look, I
look at this game and I go, man, it's like
seeing the first great half of a movie, where you're like, oh,
this is I can't wait see what the second half
is now. Usually the second half disappoints, but I hope
it not for the last four innings of this game. Yeah,
we've watched a lot of movies in the last couple
of years, or that third act falls apart. But I mean,
what's funny is this game started within about what five
(07:31):
minutes of the kickoff of Monday night football with the
Chiefs and the Commanders. That football game is going to
be long over, oh baseball game. They'll be doing press
conferences and everything. I mean they're already down inside of
five minutes in the third quarter. That's how fast that
first half went. Bunch of turnovers. Ye, that game's been
wild just the same way. A bunch of things. I
don't know that I saw it. They just had a
(07:52):
great shot of the watch party in japan people with
their noise makers and losing their minds. As Otani round
in third and scored the tying run. But yeah, just
just an insane sequence, no question about it. I mean,
this is nearly a two hour game in the bottom
of the fifth inning. This is like those old Yankee
Red Sox ALCS games. That's fine, Just you lock yourself
(08:14):
in for four and a half hours, because you know
that's how long it's gone. It's not gonna take. Yes, yeah,
well be four and a half hours in the Alcs.
Don't worry. Cut to a dancing rob Manford. We got
extra adspot.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
This great.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
They're gonna keep going to the bullpen and we're gonna
get to run more commercials.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah to ching ching chi ching.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So the Blue Jays get out of the bottom of
the fifth inning. However, we go to the top of
the six and is a brand new game four to four,
Game three of the World Series. You know the stats.
The winner of Game three and a series tied one
one incredible advantage to win the World Series. So four innings,
everything is brand new. We've had mistakes, we've had big plays,
we've had big hits. Yeah, none of that matters. Anymore,
(08:54):
and it matters what happens from here on out because
all that that that's in the way back machine. I
was laughing when we speaking the way back machine. I
think Sherman and Peabody is a popular Halloween costume this year,
which yeah, kind of interesting. Really, Yeah, kids were talking
about Okay, anyway, Philly Karen is not the most popular. Well,
I don't know if that the teenagers want to get
(09:16):
on board that. Okay, all right, Still Philly Karen's kind
of funny either way. I mean, Freeman stole second, yeah again,
stop the presses. Yeah, that was one. If you had
a prop bet on Freeman stealing a base, you probably
paid off well. And then and then they hit check
of him trying to score from second Borge's got an
incredible arm, and Freddy Freeman tries to score from second base.
I'm saying, dude, is that a heat check for you?
(09:36):
That's a heat check. I'm gonna score from second on
this Like you and I just looked at each other
like he's out by like eight steps.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It's just waiting on him. Just make sure you get
the tag down.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Was all that hadn't happened there, just amazing, like why
was he sent and that was the third out of
the enning. So again, we'll have more on baseball coming
up in a few minutes, but right now in Kansas City,
Monday Night football, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey, this connection
has been rediscovered. Now eighty three career touchdowns for Travis
(10:07):
Kelcey as Mahomes finds him to give the Chiefs a
twenty one to seven lead midway through the third quarter.
Now here's the thing about this game, right, We talked
about this and Frostburg's gonna hate this, but really, all
year long, what have I said? Stock up Patrick Mahomes,
stock down Chiefs. Mahomes is the MVP of the league
so far, right, and I think if you're trying to
(10:29):
to make a list of who the list is, really
who's below it because he is absolutely dragging the Chiefs
to everything. In the first half, they couldn't overcome his
two interceptions. Now, the second one was not his fault,
it was Travis Kelcey. It hits off of him and
it bounces in, So that was just a bad play
by Kelsey. But the Chiefs can't run the football, and
still Mahomes is their leading rusher, and still he is
(10:51):
finding a way to drag the Chiefs down the field.
His reads are right every single time. He is finding
enough time to now you're watching him instead of buying
time and throwing downfield, he is buying time waiting for
a close receiver to break free, either running back coming
out of the backfield. Big game they had. In the
last drive, Travis Kelsey was in blocking, but when Mahomes
(11:13):
kept the play alive, Kelsey just kind of slides out
to the right. Not a guy you needed to account
for because he was staying in the block, but because
of the way the play was, Mahomes keeps it alive.
It's a thirty seven yard game. Like this is the
best Mahomes that we have seen in a long time,
the fantasy wise. You know, right, number one quarterback in
the NFL. But yeah, there's guys right under Mahomes. You
can say, hey, you're talking about MVP. No one is
(11:34):
dragging his team to success more than Mahomes is doing
that with the Chiefs so far this year. Yeah, it
was one of my favorite plays we've seen. And this
was a wild week, no question about it. But just
the way Kelsey kind of sneaked out and turned back
and up the sideline he went. But yeah, Mahomes right
now is your leader in the clubhouse for the MVP odds.
(11:55):
People starting to make the case for Jonathan Taylor given
his massive start to the year. When you talk about
a touchdown total, he's already at where Barkley was a
year ago. Here's a hot take. They got the right team,
they got the wrong guy. That's right, the wrong guy.
We must have been the right place at the wrong time.
He's yeah, there, you got plays wrong time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(12:17):
but it was the wrong time.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Got to be the right.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Josh Allen's second at plus three fifty, Drake May all
the way up to third, he's now five.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
That's a the Patriots schedule, it's like they're playing an
f C could always play.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
You can only beat who's on the schedule. You got
to fit the suit.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You can't give me Drake May, Drake May. You gotta
beat a team that's good at some point. Man, every
team you're playing is terrible. And you haven't even played
the Jets once yet you have played the Hey, they're
on a one game heater. Oh the Jet's never gonna
lose again. But you haven't even played the Jets once
yet they got you back just game you have not.
I mean, come on, man.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Then you had Baker Mayfield, Matthew Stafford, Daniel Jones still
at fifteen to one. Yeah, day right, guy number two
behind Mahomes not Jonathan. Get the difference in that Drake
Max Drake may doing it against against teams that can't
even field defenses. These are this may be the easiest
schedule I have seen the team have in the NFL
(13:20):
in five years.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Easy. Easy.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I'm looking play anybody, It'll play anybody. Hey, bellichicks out?
We can Can we get the Patriots back?

It's going okay? How are you guys doing?

Well, uh, well, I'm doing better now. The Jets won
a game, so that's okay. Now they never gonna lose again.
I'm feeling okay.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
What a wrong one man? Yeah? Good for Justin Field.
I mean, it's what a what a What a week
that young man had to go through. Uh, you know,
I got a kick out of the NFL, you know,
and it's Twitter feed, you know, promoting everything Justin Fields
had to say, I you know, quote tweeted them. So, yeah,
(17:22):
where what do you think about what? You know, his
billionaire overlord had to say about him and call him
out in public and all that stuff that, you know,
led to Justin Field's introspection. I don't think I'll hear
back from the probably not.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Let us know what you do. That'd be great.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I'm that a little interesting, right, Like there's all like
caught up in their touchy feelies. But when when Woody
Johnson struts around like a jackass punk at ownership meetings
and pops off about people and says ridiculous things and
comports himself like an unprofessional jackass. Good for Justin Field
for being the more mature guy.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, it makes me envious of Jerry Jones at times, like, well, hi,
I wish we had that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Guy man man, Well.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
He said he was a good owner except for the
winning part.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Okay, right, Yeah, good for Justin Fields, man, what a
wild game and the NFL, right, I mean, who the
hell really knows from week to week.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Now, speaking of week to week, we'll talk quarterbacks here now,
Patrick Mahomes. Look, we talked about this a few minutes ago. Yeah,
there's lots of guys having great seasons, but I didn't
know that there's anybody dragging his team like Patrick Mahomes
has been dragging the Chiefs to wins and competition and
staying afloat with injuries. It's still the leading rusher for
the Chiefs, making all the right decisions now instead of
(18:43):
keeping plays alive to throw deep down field, he keeping
plays alive and he's hitting outlet guys, guys that aren't
even in the pattern. Like I'm watching Mahomes saying, this
is clearly the best Mahomes we've seen in a long time.
And there's I think that's why he's at the top
of the MVP race right now.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Yeah, look he's it's not as you know, the downfield
thrustoll wasn't there, and I thought it would probably come
back tonight with you know, Rice having a game under
his belt, but it hasn't. And I know Dan Quinn
and how he plays, but he plays the same way.
Pete Carroll plays. I mean, you know, they did get
(19:18):
a few shots against those guys, so that's not there yet.
But yeah, I mean he's throwing for three touchdowns a
game again with regularity. I mean, we'll see what the
fourth quarter holds here. They're starting to roll up thirty
on people without it looking that hard in the process.
And this would be, you know, if they were to
do it another one of those where you come out
(19:40):
and it's interception interception, and you know, we'll see if
they still manage to do what they have been doing. Yeah,
I mean, you look around the landscape. Baker think he's
banged up and he's a gamer, but you know, his
numbers have tailed off. We've seen injuries obviously impact this race.
So I think Jark a guy nobody talks about. But
(20:02):
I mean we all made a big deal about him
losing his coordinator and everything, and his numbers might look
pretty nuts at the end of the year. And hey,
like dude, everybody's falling all over themselves about Jonathan Taylor
and like he's a nice player and all that stuff's great,
but what the hell changed there? It seems to be
one thing changed there.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Oh, I got Daniel Jones, right, over the quarterback.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
He's calling thirty five points a games Taylor. Now, Taylor's
been there behind basically that same offensive line for six years,
you know what I mean. Pittman's been there. Like they
drafted a tight end, which is great, But I mean
the quarterback is completing like seventy four percent of his
passes for two hundred and seventy yards a game, and
he's leading the league in yards per tempt and it's
(20:46):
not closed. It's big boys stuff Like, I don't know, man,
how is he not? I mean, we're approaching the middle
of the season. How is he not at least been
here the top three?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Now you got Drake may as the third guy right now,
Daniel Joe and still sitting down at fifteen to one.
We were just checking the odds a few minutes ago.
So you got that cast, But you got a little
bit of a story there brewing in Baltimore. I jetted
in quickly for that one. My brothers organized something. Jason
and I got on my phone and I said, Hey,
this guy's now not playing, so scout team subterfuge.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
With the big week that the NBA had, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
NFL officers are like, hey, hey, hey, we don't need this,
So I guess he's gonna play. On Thursday. We get
the multi MVP Lamar Jackson back. But how's it playing
in Baltimore?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Not real well, I mean it's not me, it's more importantly,
it's not playing real well with the league office. And
the timing was terrible. Hardballs the coach in the leading
eighteen years. You know the role, they all know the home,
they know exactly what was doing. He's practicing with the
scout team because it didn't he wasn't going to play.
I mean it was unlikely even me. Come on, like
so the whole thing about it, you know, question them
(21:54):
all and full practice, like stop stopping. You were playing
games and you got caught and then they get fined
and maybe they'll lose the draft pick too, and you know, look,
the most important thing around here is they found a
way to beat the Bears. And I wasn't sure they
were gonna and Stu Puntley played the best football game
he's played in a long time, and they won the
(22:16):
run over battle, which had not been doing and the
Bears had been doing better than anybody else, and so
they saved their season. And now I mean, I mean,
I think they're better than Miami. But you know I
would have told you three days ago I think most
of the leagues better than Miami. And well what if
(22:40):
I don't what do you make of that?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
They out physical Atlanta, like Atlanta's offensive line and their
backs have been bullying people, and they out physical Atlanta
for four quarters. Like I don't know, Gents like is
my I mean, I don't know. I don't know. It
could be a weird game on Thursday night. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
NFL insider Jason Locking for our guest Jason Smith Mike
Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Now today,
Camp Scattaboo had injury surgery on his dislocated ankle. Really
ugly play, awful break for a guy who was giving
the Giants identity they'd become fun. He's one of the
more fun rookies. But Jay, again, this is the hip
drop tackle that gets Skataboo injured. And I get it,
(23:22):
and I would love to see them figure something out
about this. But I don't know how you you ban
the hip drop tackle because guys aren't gonna let go
if they're trying to tackle a guy. I mean that
that's a really hard thing. I mean, I don't want
to see guys get hurt like this anymore, and I'd
love to see them not do it. But I don't
know how you ban it. I don't know how you
how you sit there and say, okay, that's this kind
of tackle and we can get rid of it, because
(23:42):
defensive players aren't going to just let go of guys
that they're trying to tackle.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
No, I don't. You can't legislate all this out of
the game. It's it's dude, look at these Look at
these guys the plane on the same field, New Rocky Playoffs.
It's I mean, it's a it's an inherently violent, uber
violent sport. I mean it, it's just it's just and
(24:10):
you know, help with safety and all this like and
and I applaud every effort, every real effort that's made
in that in that regard, but you're not going to
be able to take it out. You're not going to
be ab eliminate all these players that put you know,
incredible force on hip sockets and these sockets and ankles.
White State.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But even put rules in Jason, I mean, you've got
the idea like we watched.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yeah, I mean, like it's a gladiator sport. It's not
an exaggeration, and it's played at an incredibly high level
and there's a you're you're looking. I mean, these guys
are in like fighter or what flight fight or flight
mode for you know, eighty steps a game, like that's
what it is. Like your head has to content be
(25:00):
on a swivel when you have to be locked in
or you might get hurt and you're doing what your
survival mode. Man, And so guys, I mean, stuff's gonna happen,
and are you going to have a totally proper form
tackle and you're tasing somebody down from behind? Like do not.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
But even if you get the legislation on something like that, Jason,
we watched the the Vikings against the Chargers on Thursday
night where we just watched Carson Wentz become a pinata
and just like that.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
I'm a big Kevin O'Connell guy, and I think he's
a super sharp dude, and I think he's had an
impeccable start his coaching career. But I don't know how
like if you think got little or your number three,
like I don't, I mean it was a bad, ugly
look and it continued, like, I mean, at least three
series more than it probably had to. I mean that
(25:53):
game was pretty much over half time, was definitely over,
you know, in the third quarter, and they started sort
of coaching it like it was over. So I couldn't
I just couldn't figure out, like why they didn't start
looking at the developmental quarterback. Yeah, it's it's I mean
that guy was could barely protect himself and they kept
sending him out there. And I mean, I don't know,
(26:16):
like we're never going to reach a point where the
unaffiliated you know, like concussion guy is also going to
be like to need Hey, you need to pull this
guy because he's clearly in distress because of an elbow
or because of a shoulder. And and again that's just
gonna that stuff's going to happen, like you know, even
if you tried to find a team for it, Like
(26:38):
it's it's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Let's get to other quarterbacks here.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Let's get back to the AFC North here for a
couple of seconds after Dylan Gabriel's game yesterday and the
safety where he just decided I don't want to get rushed,
I'm throwing the ball out of bounds. How much closer
are you getting to Shador Sanders playing for the Browns?
How much close?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Look, it's clear that you know, the Oaks was not
on board with his draft pick, so he's doing all
he can to obstruct and whatever. And you know, he'll
probably want to run Zappi out there for a couple
of weeks first, but it's going to happen. It was
always going to happen. We were talking about this since
when he got drafted and all through the summer, and
you know, and Dylan Gabriel looked good in the preseason,
and I've said the same thing all the whole time
(27:19):
when you look at the ply chart of most snaps
that quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. When it's all said
and done this season, I would continue to throw my
darts at Sanders being the last guy to get a shot.
But he'll get a shot sooner than you think, and
he'll probably play more snaps than the other two combined.
And I still think, I mean, I think that's how
it's shaping up. Dyllan Gabriel is not an NFL quarterback.
(27:41):
He's not even an NFL backup right now, you can
tell me, well, he was a part of a win
and he's around. You know, he played a couple of games.
He wasn't turning it over yet. But he also cannot
push the ball downfield. He can aryusy over the line
of scrimmage, he can move, but he's not an uber
athlete to totally be able to defend himself. And he
was going to start turning the ball over if you
watch those as it was inevitable. Yeah, I don't see
(28:04):
the upside there, and they're gonna be in the market
to probably draft one again next year, So I don't
know why you wouldn't look at Sanders first. But again
it's pretty clear as the fast he's not into that idea.
And I think I'll keep using the practice excuse. But
in the next week or two, Zappi will have to
start playing, and he's a backup. You can play without
getting all the reps, and those Pendulum will practice reps
will have to start swinging the Sanders and they're gonna
(28:27):
have to go to that route because this is I mean,
it's just not it's not professional grave. He's a developmental
kid who has serious physical limitations.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
He's on Twitter at Jason Locke and four at Jason
lock and for a wanna bet one oh five seven
the fan in Baltimore. Honesty Washington Post. Jay is always buddy,
Thanks so much, enjoying the games. We'll talk to you
next week.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Thank you guys, do the same, see you.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Jays would be good.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I have the question for you, though, Yeah, does Stefanski
do the uh uh?
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Basically, Darren Jimmy Hazel the Fireman, you won't play.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Look, hey, everything is going fine. I even tell you
in my Browns will start five guys, five guys this year. Right,
we're almost getting close to that third guy. And I
think Jason's right, it's gonna be Zappy is gonna be next.
And eventually we're gonna get to Shadors And now I
think your dr standers will wind up being fourth, Oka
the wind up being fourth when we get to the
like now, now we're going to point where okay, Dylan
(29:21):
Gabriel's wearing out as welcome, where you get third, he's
gonna be fourth, and then the fifth game of the season,
the fifth quarterback. Maybe we go all the way back
to Dylan Gabriel or but we're getting we're getting them,
or somebody else's not on the team. You never know,
maybe the Jets trade Justin Fields while he's hot, Like yeah,
oh sorry, is that.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
After Justin.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Story on the top week? Jet's got a lot of
feel good stories. Now, make trades. We're one and seven,
make trades. Make the way that Dylan Gabriel trades might
have been one of the worst.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
That was awful.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I mean that goes on the list of quarterback I
mean because Mariota did it earlier in the in the game.
Now it doesn't cost him because it was not at
the end of the game, but on a fourth down play,
he sails it out of bounds, like you're going for it,
you're loosing the ball on downs and you just gave them.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Just throw it to the opposition.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Then bine Jack time now to find out what's trending
in the wide world of sports with someone who's been
called the Tyler glassnow of Fox Sports Radio. He also
spent some time glaring at Tommy Edmund after the fourth inning,
it's Steve to.
Speaker 7 (30:14):
Say, it's right now four to four Toronto at the Dodgers.
In the top of the seventh and another pitching change,
the Dodgers had the starter glass now at La Native
by the way, only pitch half the game tonight. So
what has been the Achilles heel of the Dodgers the
last three months? Their poor bullpen is asked to get
half the outs in this game tonight. Lefty Anthony Bondo
(30:37):
gave up a grand slam over the weekend got the
one out to end the fifth inning. Justin Robleski, another lefty,
has just pitched an inning and two thirds. He's just
now being replaced. Meanwhile, we see, yet again out of
the Toronto bullpen, Lewis Varlin. He's thrown in nearly every playoff.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Game they have had this month.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
This is his twelfth appearance, hitting at a third scoreless
with a couple of strikeouts. It's a game because of
the blue Jays four run fourth inning, the key air
to second baseman Tommy Edmund of La. Two of the
runs were unearned, so the Blue Jays had the lead
at the time. Alejandro Kirk with a three run shot.
By the way, the great Sarah Langs with a little
foreshadowing just in case, only one player in a World
(31:17):
Series game has had four extra base hits. Sotani has
three and has three at bats so far ground woruld double,
solo homer, and an RBI double. And I will note
ahead of time, since the World Series is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
In LA, temperatures in the low sixties tonight, it's going
to be a daytime high of ninety the next two days,
(31:38):
which means about eighty degrees first pitch the next two nights.
Anytime it gets warmer, the ball flies more. At Dodger Stadium.
Corey Seger notably had a World Series home run against
Justin Verlander for that exact reason on one hundred degree
day in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Now also to getting update, it said, the Don Stanhouse.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Is coming in so nice.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
We'll make sure the Dodgers right now.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
If that's the game. If that's the case, the game
is over. Some of us remember there were some of the.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Worst relievers that Dodge have had. Don Stanhouse, everyone that
got damned. He was standing the man unusual, they called them.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
That was always an adventure. That was the offseason where
the Dodgers spent their big money on Don Stanhouse and
Dave Golds. Oh my goodness, it's Flake Trining coming in
right now. At the top of the seventh in a
four to four game. Ta Oskar Hernandez does have a
solo homer. Longtime baseball writer Jason Stark pointed out that
Hernandez had not only been slumping recently in the playoffs,
(32:32):
but in this World Series had been zero for seven
with five strikeouts until that. No doubt her home run
the left He has a second hit tonight as well.
He had been the only hitter in either lineup without
a hit in this World Series. Two huge base running plays,
I believe it or not, though, the Blue Jays had
a guy simply walk off first base and get picked off,
(32:53):
thinking that his teammate at home had taken ball four.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
And the Dodger did that once in a softball game.
I did that one, and I was and they were.
It was a big softball game, and I thought like
the guy had a walk, and I was just kind
of frozen, like I thought it was ball four and
the up would wait and the catcher just knew he
just and in softball you just had to beat the throat,
just had to beat enough to tag you out. It
was like a four from softball. So I was off
(33:18):
too much. I was like, what what I was like?
By the time I dove back in, I was out.
I walked back to Die said, I'm so sorry, guys,
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Never in my life did I think that a first
base coach in softball would be the equal of a
first base coach in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
But he was actually no help at.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
First Hey, uh oh hello.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Ah crap.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
And they showed the replay with sound and you could
hear the strike call from the umpire and then the
runner started walking to second base.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
It's like, it's anybody doing here.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
Meanwhile, on the Dodger said Freddie Freeman was thrown at
at home by a mile from Addison Barger at Barger
in rightfield, who they put up a graphic, was top
five in the American League in outfield assists. His throw
home was clocked at ninety eight miles an hour. By
the way, the Blue Jays have won eight straight games
when Alejandro Kirk homers. He has a three run shot.
(34:09):
Tonight it's four to four top of the seventh. We
mentioned a new reliever in Blake Trinin has allowed a
single to Vladimericarero Junior. So the seventh isn't over yet.
And in the Monday Night football game. You're right, this
is going to end much sooner than baseball. Chiefs now
up twenty eight to seven on Washington with under eight
minutes to go. Patrick Mahomes with three touchdown passes in
(34:31):
the second half. And as far as the NBA, we
had a Philadelphia win. Phillies three to zero beat Orlando
one thirty six one twenty four. Tyrese Maxi had forty
three points, eight assists and one turnover.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve O, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon,
lock from the Fox Sports Radio studios. We got more
on Monday Night Football Game four, the Game three in
the World Series as well, and straight ahead, we get
into the biggest coaching story out of football this weekend,
something that is still shocking us here on Monday Night.
That's next right here, Jason to Mike, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I want to have a gun, blow hot dogs into
the stands.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Dodgers' bullpen comes in and there goes the lead a
two out double down the line in right that bounces
off of the stands and into the middle of the
field to Oscar. Hernandez can't get there fast enough. Vlad
Junior just beats the tag at the plate and the
Blue Jays now have a five to four lead over La.
(35:47):
Dodgers just get out of the inning, but is a
one run lead for the Blue Jays. Now Dodgers come
to bat in the bottom of the seventh, Well, we
got that ballance, we got that.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Balance, right, Jason.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
The home run by ta Oscar started, so he was
in the h he was in the black, and then
he decided, I'm gonna throw this up the first That's
a horrible throw in any kind of good throw to
the plate gets Vlad Junior. But this throw is ten
feet wide of home plate, and still it's always come
almost comes back. And he keeps both teams in the
(36:19):
game better than anybody else. Offensively what he does for
the Dodgers, but base running, because he got thrown out
the last inning trying to go all the way to
third base and Vlad Junior threw him out. And now
the air, you know, the bad throat of the plate,
like he keeps both teams in the game. Man, there
is nobody that good might be one of the most
exciting players in baseball. I'll tell you my goodness. Uh
but we'll have more football coming up in a couple
(36:40):
of minutes. But time now for the play of the day.
The play of the day, of course, is brought to
you by ti iraq dot com tire rack dot com

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Well.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
When you go twenty four and fifteen and you help
your team to improve to be four and oh hey Wemby,
you get to be the play of the day.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I mean, I'm an catching ripping through sixty one.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Pulley ability is too good?
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Who watch us here?
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Beautiful three sixties Spurs TV on the call now. I
remember this because when I was on my heater, I
gave you the cults in the last offseason. Hey, long
shot super Bowl team this year, Daniel Jones is gonna
wind up doing good things. Wow. Before the season started,
said watch out this Spurs team when Wemby shows when
he becomes the best player in the league. And I said,
(37:49):
it's gonna happen by by some time this year. It
may happen by the end of October. Another big night
for him. The Spurs are four and oh right now,
and they are deep, they are young, are playing incredible
and Wemby clearly is gonna show you. Yeah, okay, like
in a couple of weeks, it's gonna be well, yeah,
Wemby's the best.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I don't know when that happened, but yeah, he's the
best player in the league. It just just sort of
everybody just sort of nodded their head, like, yeah, it's
already there where the Wemby era is here. You know
what also helps is all the other superstars aren't playing.
That always does help to it does help their team stink. Yeah,
like like Jalen Brown's been fantastic. Yeah, the Celtics have
not been no big win the night. Look the Lakers
tonight they're playing with four guys, Like there's reason to
(38:28):
score seventy five. I don't know, man, he's got to
be exhausted after scolling fifty. Yeah, he's still young. He's
gonna have ten to nightis in his arm for all
the shots tonight. All of a sudden, that elbow goes
flying up into the third death. Boy, I'm fib tied.
Feeling good about feeling good about the Colts, feeling good
about the Spurs. I'm not a heater man, I'm not
a heater y. I'm on a long shot heater.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Heater heater. Well, they were fifty to one heater.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
I mean, obviously it's a crowded Western Conference and it's
only a couple of weeks in, but you know, you
get it pretty excitable about some of the highlights that
you get from women Yama. So Adam Silver is really happy. Yeah,
he is a highlight.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
It doesn't want to well, doesn't want to deal with gambling.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Stove with this.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Uh so, no show jobs, gambling, Wemby highlights. Give me
the Wemby highlights, and I don't want highlights of Wemby
planting trees. Let me see him three sixty, let's see lamps,
let me see all that. Hey, it's Halloween on Friday.
You know he loves to dress up. Can't wait to
see what he does this.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
So Meanwhile, biggest football story of the weekend coaching wise,
Brian Kelly let go as LSU head coach. I was
surprised when this happened because we talked about this Friday night.
I'm like, they don't have a full time president, they
have an interim president. They're still trying to find a
way to elect who the full time president. They're not
gonna let Brian Kelly go. No, Apparently LSU doesn't care.
We will pay find a way to pay out this
(39:43):
fifty million dollars that we owe him, and they're moving
on and he is no longer the LSU head coach.
Can't Soayn, I'm surprised because you have three years of
three and four losses. LSU thought they were going to
get better. But this is another example of how out
of control college football is. Because I understand you being upset,
but who are you gonna get that's better than Brian Kelly?
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Where are you gonna go?
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I get you're upset, I get the year, But this
is a guy that's built a winning program. Yet that
he have was every year great at not trade No,
but the expectations you're really unrealistic that and you're gonna
who are you gonna go out and get right now,
that's better if you want to let him go at
the end of the Okay, great, I understand when you
have somebody in place, but what are you gonna who's
out there? Who are gonna go get? Urban Meyer can
only get one job, whether it's Penn State or Urban
(40:29):
Meyer can only get one job. There's nobody else out
there you're gonna go out and get. But yet, this
is the way we're at right now. That college is
because a lot of them can just print money. It's just, yeah, well,
we don't care about this. The guy's not winning. We'll
figure out a way around.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
This with them. Mother.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
They has never figured out the money. Yet we're gonna
do this. This is another rick. College football is just
out of control with it.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Funny.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
I can't lump them all in together right these big
coaching changes, because there's there's certainly a divide. I mean,
we talk about struggling on the field, but then there's
the guy. And I think that's where Brian Kelly gets
caught in the switches here, is that there's not a
lot of people that vouch for the guy Brian at
least so when it becomes the we're not winning and
he's not the favorite of boosters and everybody around the
(41:08):
program or former players plenty of them lining up to
take their shots as well. Uh De commits, et cetera,
that you're You're like, well, I can see where this
goes sideways on you, and you'll you'll take the buyout
and move on.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Early returns.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
You got Lane Kiff and Jeff Brahm, Dillingham, James Franklin, some.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Raw Lee's dabbo.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
I mean, there's a heavy, heavy hitters, and then eventually
you get down to Urban Meyer and some of the
other names about America's an interim coach. Can he come back?
Oh yeah, Yeahndred percent you think do you think that
did he remember that?
Speaker 4 (41:41):
They had him.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
So familiar?
Speaker 3 (41:44):
I know that it's really me.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Hey wait, why did he leave again?
Speaker 7 (41:47):
Now?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
I got yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
