Speaker 1 (00:28):
Hello, Happy Thursday, The Jason Smith Show with my bass.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
For over forty years, tire Rack's been uping customers find
the right 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 tirack dot com.
He is the way tire buying should be. This is
a load of crap right now.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
What we're watching? It's an APPA?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
How the hell are the Raiders and Broncos tied at seven?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
How are the Raiders tied in this game? How is
that that? I can boil it all down.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
To one word.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
This is so the Broncos stink day stace.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
This makes absolutely no Hunter stinks. The offense had forty
four yards and for one drive made it a tie.
And that's the other thing, because the Raiders stink it's
a tie game. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Look, and and I'm not upset because you know the
big bullpredictioner made last night, I said Gino's gonna throw
three picks, including one in the first five throws of
the game. The Broncos are gonna score forty points because
their offense is better at home. I'm not upset about
that because a little bit. I'm not the only win now,
but I'm not the Broncos are gonna win.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I mean, they were nine and a half point favorites.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, But this is the point now, is that I'm
I'm just upset that and I'm more embarrassed for the
Broncos that I am happy that we have a close
game on Thursday night.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Wow. I mean, I'm excited because it's close. Me at
least I should be more excited that it's close, But instead,
I'm just mad that that the Raiders and Broncos are
taught like this. This shouldn't be taught. The Raiders are terrible.
But that's the thing We've talked about these Broncos. And
while the final final stuff looks pretty right, you have
(02:15):
a quarter here, a quarter there, and you put up
some points. The overall sixty minute effort is highly inconsistent. Yeah, right,
and and there are parts of this. Look, they may
still score forty. You have no idea, what's what's still
to come? But then this game because it is after all,
yeah the Raiders. Yeah, but they're playing at home on
a Thursday. Now, they look great. Uniforms look great.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That that's the only passing part now is you could say, boy,
the Broncos stink tonight, but boy, they look great in those.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I'm thinking about Craig Borton, I'm thinking about hell Way.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Oh that's that's like that the Sinful episode when you
know George designed the uniforms for the Yankees. Boy, the
Yankees losing six to one, but boy, they sure look
comfortable in those uniforms. They look around like, hey, they
look great in those uniforms. Like that orange like that
that really pops like this, These throwback Tom Jackson, John
Elway early Arabroncos unis are great, but good for you,
(03:06):
they stink inside them, recognizing the greatness that is Tom Jackson.
I think they need to go back and look at
his career. He had a fantastic rule. But yeah, this
is game two seventy right now.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I mean if I'm just like throwing a dart at
the board of my two seventy two in terms of celebration,
because this is this has been terrible. There's been three
plays and misadventures. The punter for for Denver has been awful. Uh.
And then they keep citing the wind. I'm like, forget
about the wind. He's hitting it off the side of
(03:37):
the foot. Yeah, the wind doesn't have anything to do
unless you're telling me it's that powerful. It could be
that in that two yards he's dropping it onto his foot,
that suddenly there's just that ninety five mile an hour Gus,
that's you know, taking him through a wind tunnel.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
H Hey, you guys went to the Super Bowl and
parked because Sean Landetta whifted on a punt in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
But those were those were like hurricane gusts. Here, I'm
looking at everything weather wise talking about is like, I
don't see anything stronger than eight miles an hour, which
is nothing. That's a that's a little breeze. But what
if the breeze, what if it was all centralized and
localized to his foots. What if it's Drew Brees, what
if it's what if the breeze, what if it's like
a like a dust devil starts the middle of the field, Like,
(04:21):
I like that the dust If that happens, not not
the vacuum cleaner, no, but the actual dirt devil. Yeah. No,
dirt levels, you know, I want one one and never
I never got it. From time out for trivia, he won,
he won a dirt dove. He was supposed to weigh,
he won a bunch of prizes. He was answering trivia questions.
We're all sitting around so funny as hell. Todd Donahoe's
(04:42):
the host, Oh you know, going all the way back,
and it was one of the early call in shows.
He gets on and he wins a metal detector, He
wins the dirt Devil and a couple other things. The
only thing that showed up was the metal detect. Want
a metal detect So he was walking around on the
beach just you know. Eventually they bought a house on
a river and he would go find some cool stuff.
(05:02):
Oh that's nice. I found an engagement ring, money clips.
You never know what you're gonna find on I never
know what and actually an adventure.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, so seven to seven, middle of the third quarter
and Gino Smith. Maybe we spurred Geno Smith on because
I will he did have four touchdowns a week ago.
I will take credit for last night saying he's gonna
throw three picks. One's going to be, one's going to
be a pick six, one's gonna be within the.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
First five throws.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And he's been acceptable so far, meaning he hasn't thrown
a pick. He hasn't been the four touchdown guy a
last week, but he's been acceptable. Maybe throwing that out there,
I got that out of Geno Smith now, so you're welcome,
Raiders Nation.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well, one of the things that's been really uh pressing
here for for Gino Smith that we talked about at
a bunch last night. While you're down a top notch
cover corner in Certan, you do have one of the
greatest pass rushes going in the game. We're talking record
setting through this point in the season. Historically they're already
(06:03):
talking about eighty four bears. You want to go back
that way. He's taken five sacks, but that means that's
five times he did not put the ball in harm's way.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, maybe that they could have been two or three
intersecond that could have happened.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
But that's just it, and so instead he ate it.
So he did the right thing, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And to think that the Bronco Look, it doesn't make
any sense that the Broncos are here, right, it doesn't.
It really doesn't make any sense that they're struggling tonight
with the Raiders after some of the performances they have
put together so far this season. Now we're at the
midway point of the year now, right, so we're in
week nine, and this should have been the moment where
(06:43):
the great teams, the ones that are showing you we
are far and away the.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Top of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Right, Yes, there's a lot of contenders, but usually get
a couple of teams in each conference that separate themselves
a little bit, that show you, hey, these first eight
ten weeks, you know what.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
We're really good. We're really good.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And yeah, we're gonna lose a game or two the
rest of the way because you know, you can't win
every week. And maybe it's a matchup, maybe it's an
injury or something. But usually you get a couple of
teams that that have separated themselves that's the unique thing
about this NFL season. Not one team has separated themselves
where you could say they are the overwhelming favor to
go to the super Bowl. They're one of the top
(07:22):
two teams in the conference, and boy, I expect to
see them in the conference title game. Right you go,
you go, division by division, the Bills and the Patriots
leading the AFC East. Right, the Bills not quite what
we thought they'd be. They they they've shown that they
are much more fallible than we thought. The Patriots have
played nobody right this schedule, it's the easiest schedule in
the NFL. And five finally, they play a good team
(07:44):
on Sunday. But everybody they play stinks. And they haven't
even played the Jets yet. Okay, So is that what
makes it hurt so much?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Easy? I can see how much this wounds you because
there walking through this schedule. They haven't played the Jets yet. No,
and you just had a half of fires. It doesn't
because you shouldn't down halfway through now, Listen. It doesn't
bother me that they're winning. It bothers me that, look
how good the Patriots are.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Look how great vrabel Is looked at that Drake May
is an MVP candidate. He's playing a bunch of stiff teams.
Haven't played anybody good. They played the Bills once. Okay,
that's but it's not like the schedule gets harder than
us of the way.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
But they've got you gotta beat who's on the schedule
right now. It's the same thing for the goal.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But don't tell but don't sit here and tell me
how great they are because they they're beating a bunch
of stiff teams. That's the thing about the payo, oh,
Drake May is yeah, I think I'd put these numbers
up against you.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And I can't throw the ball more than twenty five yards?
Can't that ball? Now? The duke is a really hard way,
I know. But you go there.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
The Steelers, they stink, they don't do anything well, yet
they're at the top of the division. Okay, in the South,
the Colts are good. Is anybody believe in the Colts? No,
it's not a team that we think, oh, they're gonna
go all the way. Look at the AFC West. He
had a lot of talented teams, Broncos up at the top. Yeah,
they got problems obviously, because here they are They've lost
a couple of games and nearly lost a game to
the Giants, need to score thirty points in the four quarter,
(09:00):
and they're tied with the Raiders. You go to the
NFC East and the Eagles have issues, still figuring out
who they are offensively. In the NFC North, the Lions,
we thought they would jump in and be great all
the way through, but they have shown you we will
stub bar toe all the way through. The South, we
thought Tampa Bay might be really good, but no, they've
hit the skids last couple weeks. Now they're coming off
of buye. In the NFC West, you want.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
To say the Rams maybe, but the Rams have shown you, hey,
we can lose. This is not every week where we're
beating teams forty one seventeen. This is usually we get
like there's at least three teams right now in the
NFL that we can say, hey, they're really good.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They are the elite. Right, even the Chiefs. Every one's
pointing to the Chiefs are one game over five hundred.
They lost last week, Right, the Chiefs have problems. Everybody's
got problems. There's not one team or again, you'd think
there would be at least three that you could say
they're great, they're at the top. This is who right
now the favorites are to get to the super Bowl. Instead,
it's everybody has issues. The best teams have issues. This
(09:58):
is a wide open season, one of the more wide
open seasons I can remember. And it's like college football
in the NFL the same thing, absolutely wide open everybody.
Even if the Broncos win this game, I'm not gonna
walk around and say see how great they are. No,
they held the Raiders up for three and a half
quarters before they found it. Why it winning a game
like I can't remember where there's not been that favorite
because normally it's the Chiefs are this good and the
(10:20):
Eagles are this good, or before them, the Patriots were
this good, the Steelers were this good, the forty nine
Ers were this good. But this year, nobody, nobody. You
can say, yeah, they can beat anybody any given Sunday
on a field right now. You cannot say that about
any team in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
This is great for business and certainly for us for
the second half. Look, if you're a fan out there
of a team that's in a quasi contender status and
you've ever thought oh, maybe if things break our way,
you know, I would go to the Super Bowl city.
Go book yourself a room somewhere in the larger Santa
Clara area, because right now you have no idea how
this is gonna break out. Right Which teams are healthy?
(10:54):
You talk about Tampa, can they keep anybody on the field,
and it's Baker Mayfield every week it seems like he's
being introduced to some new guys to either run the
ball or catch it. You talk about these Broncos, well,
last week, great game against Houston. Not aesthetically pleasing unless
you just love to watch, you know, a chess match
where one little thing is going to make a game
(11:14):
eighteen fifteen isn't something that's jumping off the pages and
the highlight reels. But it was a good fount of
the win. That one. They're on this six game winning streak.
But you got Cincinnati, the Giants where they needed to comeback.
A beat down of the Cowboys. I meant a lot
of teams that, as you like to say, stink as well.
So you beat who's on the schedule, and you hope
(11:36):
that you find some sense of identity as you go,
and certainly for Denver, they're going to be trading on
how far that defense can take them and hoping to
sprinkle a little magic on bow knicks now and again.
But yeah, your point's well taken is that there's nobody
that scares you. You can go team by team and
decide which side of the ball or when we want
(11:56):
to add that pesky special teams thing. That's where the
Rams comes in, right, because they've had all sorts of
issues and they're kicking game and secondary they've addressed it
to a degree. We'll see how that holds it for
a second half.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You know, you take a team like the Rams and say, okay, well,
if they didn't have special teams, miscues, miss a field
goal at the end, they would have won those games. Yeah,
remember they would have lost the Colts if aDNA Mitchell
the way through.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
But that's just it's one play here, one play there
in the margin of error has been diminished, which is
the way he wants it. Well, he gets it, and
that's exactly what you did there, Guns and Roses. Very nice,
very nice. Yeah yeah, full on Duff McKagan day for me.
But as you know, you're watching this game, this just
feels like the Broncos will do just enough to win.
(12:43):
It's not pretty, and you move on and you're left
with the same questions that you had in the second
quarter when they could move the ball, the third quarter
as they're sputtering and trying to get to midfield. Yeah,
this is where we're at. NFL twenty twenty five. It's fantastic.
You want to do you a little Super Bowl odds thing?
Real cood? Sure, go ahead, all right? You got the
Chiefs are your favorite five point fifty, because why everybody
(13:05):
else is I don't know. The Bills at plus six hundred.
The Lions are the favorite in the NFC tiede with
the Eagles at eight to one, Rams just behind them
eight and a half. Packers still at nine to one
despite their sputtering offense. I don't know what they are
at this point, Colt set eleven to one, and then
your next favorite the Seattle Oh there we go, yes,
(13:29):
eleven to one, Yeah, Sam, Sam Sam Sam Sam SAMs
So yeah, New England and the Chargers still down there
at twenty five.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I mean, it's the fruit. Nobody you can say is
really really good. Nobody, nobody, And again, going towards the end,
I agree with you. It's just gonna be boy, how
are the Raiders gonna blow this game? Is it gonna
be such Raider esque fashion? Or will be just a
generic Thursday night football They there's a field goal to
win the game, or they really go full Raiders, like
that's what I'm hoping that some hope. But you want
(13:58):
to see Geno a full Genoa hope that happens.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But is it gonna I mean really, because you can
never take the full memory of his Jets dumb out
of there, because I mean just every time he's on
national television, what do you get in your timeline? I
sure as hell see Gino Smith was punched in the
face today seven at least three or four times, seven
to seven midway through the third quarter on Thursday Night football.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
These are the games Al Michaels has warned about. So
we got more and will keep you updated on this
coming up next week.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Have what is, without a doubt, the nuttiest, craziest story
out of sports today that I can't believe this is
something that actually happened.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
This time it counts.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I feel like I should be watching a movie montage
right now. What of all the bad plays from this
game live, like like a Rocky training scene, or you know,
maybe maybe somebody from the eighties wearing leg warmers. Oh

Speaker 3 (16:35):
And rip the knob off. Now, my prognostication powers are back.
I'm back. I'm back.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
All you do in the game about Geno Smith, and
he delivered last night. Made the Big Bowl prediction Geno
Smith tonight against the Broncos. He's gonna throw three picks right,
and the three interceptions are going to be One was
gonna be within the first five passes of the game,
one was gonna be a pick six, yeah, and one
was gonna be off at yeah right. Those are my
three picks, right, three picks. Now, obviously, the first five
(17:04):
throws of the game. That one out the window. Yeah, yeah, right,
waiting for the pick six. It's still seven to seven
late in the third quarter. But just got Geno's first
pick A big deflection. This is this is not just hey.
It tipped off the receiver's hands, gent over the middle,
bounces off his shoulder, pads up in the air, the
Broncos catch it.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I'm back, man, I'm back. My predictions are back. I
got the first one. I just gotta go one more,
gotta get the pick six, got it first ten going
across the middle and an easy catch, seven eight yard game.
Maybe a juke get you to fight to the first
down marker. Instead, it's up and it's picked off. It's
(17:43):
a shame that those count against quarterbacks, right because in
the box score, that's gonna look like, hey, Genome had
a bad throw. Yeah yeah, but like you watched that,
and I don't think anything got posted that fast on
the inner wims in a long time. Look how terrible
this is because he scored early, right, gent he found
the end zone early. Yeah, you got your your savorite
(18:05):
touchdown because he's not really done a whole hell of
a lot else but this play, and then they did
the montage like you could have played the I'm holding
out for a Hero song with all the dejected looks
from Raider to Raider. I think they did one ISO
shot for all eleven guys coming off the field look
at all sad and forlorn.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Yeah well, I mean well that is a very common
look on Raiders faces. Usually the fans are sad and forlorn.
Sometimes it got to the players.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Well, maybe a bag on their heads or a silver
face paint. Yeah no, no longer. It's not the stuff that
the Tin Man used because that that did not end
well for him. Oh like Tobias and the Blue Man group,
I have too much blue paint on. I can't. Oh boy,
how did the how they stand up and do this?
So we are seven to seven late in the third
(18:52):
quarter of a game. I mean, these are the games
where al Michael says, why did I come back and
do this? What is happening here is supposed to see
a really good team beat the Raiders, and instead we
are watching the Broncos just fight every tooth and nail.
They're whiffing on punts.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
They are not able to show you that put This
is embarrasing, Like if I'm the This is the quintessential
example of Hey, when a coach, if you win a
game and then you get to scream at your team
after because you know they played bad. Like this is
that game and I don't have one yet. I mean
they're expecting them to pull it out at some point,
but like that is where Hey, is anybody happy after
this game?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Not none of us because we should have beat the
Raiders by a lot more. You know why, one reason
because the Raiders stink. See, there's a there's a big difference.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So we talk about the competitiveness, right, the ease of
being able to prepare out of short week for a
division game. That's got nothing to do with this. This
is just poor, terrible execution. Yeah, Like I showed you
that the punt I referenced in the first segment as
we started the show. There's no wind involved there. That's
(19:57):
just a poor technique. That's like me going out and
trying to kick and I got no flexibility to raise
my lego, so I got to drop the ball a
little front, no, no, off the side of the foot.
Just terrible. But the stadium looks great. And again those
helmets and uniforms.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Oh yeah, I really looks like a young Brian Greasy.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
No, there's the uniforms. Look at Rod Smith and yeah,
I come on, you know these are more like Ed McCaffrey.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
No, no, no, these are more like I think it's
even brand than the orange when they when they were
the big Super Bowl team and the big AFC title
games late eighties. These are like the seventies Randy gratishar.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
And and those guys. Yeah, they are really bright. It's
almost like they're the color rush bright orange jerseys. Like
as you go back and look at the the lway.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Okay, yeah they're orange obviously, but not like this, Like
sometimes they used to have the satiny orange that looked
really good.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
But uh no, this is like seventies bro. So are
they making up for the fact that the Dolphins fail
by not going orange on Halloween?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Nothing can make up for that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Look, it's been a season of epic fail for the Dolphins.
That's your stand for everything, right, No, how do you
not go all orange on Halloween?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
You gotta do that.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
So we'll keep you updated on this game again. Well
it's still seven stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Describe that. Describe what you just watched.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Gino Smith rolled out right and threw the ball about
eight feet into the ground and the ball rolled out
of bounds. There's a flag for intentional grounding coming up
for Gino Smith.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
That was terrible.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
This game was seven to seven when we started the
show a half hour ago. It is seven to seven now,
it'll continue to be seven to seven. This game may
end seven to seven. I think that would be appropriate,
okay for what we've seen. Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Sometimes quick ten minutes over time play between the twenties,
we get nothing. And I would want to meet up
with Pete Carroll and and Sean Payton on the field
after the game and go, Todd, you guys deserve this.
They would say, we know, No, I don't know. Pete
Carroll would get excited about it. Sean Payton would start
chewing you. You guys got to own this. You guys
this understand? Yes, yes, yeah. You both deserve to tie.
(22:03):
You deserve the way this is played. You deserve to tie.
This is like the Cowboys forty forty game early this year.
That's exciting, lot of points. Yeah, that was last where
last guy with the ball wins this.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You're one of those games where you both deserve to
tie and because we feel like it we're giving you losses.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Both of you are getting losses. I think they should
just stop it right now. I feel like I'm done.
This is this is terrible. Let's see ten thirty on
a on a on a on a Thursday night, East Coast.
You gotta say I could go to bed. I'm going
to early jump on the week. Is this where you
start putting up all the Black Friday deals because it
is on Amazon? Uh? Well, I can't believe they have
I'm prime. I mean, why why are they not hilling
(22:40):
for products? Here's al Michael's telling you where to get
an air fryer or a drone. He's playing a drone around. Hey, look,
here's here's Kirk's dog hanging out in the corner. I
could see him with my drone. All right, a couple
of things want to look out for here? In the
second what do we want? Okay, Kirk?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Can your dog come and do a couple of things here?
The third quarter? Okay, outside of that, what can we sell?
Do we have an Amazon Prime Day coming up? Is
there something coming? Do we have some sort of.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Of deal we can do? Hey, you know, maybe we'll
go to the book section.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Of Amazon and find the kindle deals of the day,
like what what can we need to do with that?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
That's what we have.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
We just had a big play what passes for a
big play in the game. The Raiders just had a
punt blocked. The Broncos blocked the punt at the four
yard line. The ball bounces and they rate and the
it's recovered by the Broncos and they return it back
to about the seven. It wasn't a punt block where
the ball went into the end zone. It was a
(23:36):
punt block where the ball went forward a few yards.
For you fantasy the uh yeah, when pass the line
of scrimmage. So the Broncos have the football now first
and ten from the twelve yard line. Maybe we'll get points.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I mean not definitely yea, but maybe we get You know,
I used to have to write faques that we would
send out to say, all right, it doesn't count as
a block, get over yourself. But he hit the ball
went past the line. Scripts Look before that punt, I mean,
my man was averaging like forty two yards of punt
with some good hang time. Yeah, he was the MVP
of the damn game. That's the thing in every defensive struggle,
(24:11):
the punter always has a big day because there's a
reason why teams can't trust. Yeah, there's never a defensive
struggle where the punter has a bad day because usually
that means well, short fields, we score more points. Punters
always have a bit three that he knocked down inside
him twenty coffin corner kicker. I mean he had all
of it and now he got a block, you know,
a deflection.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Breemureau will have more on this game coming up in
a few minutes again, a first and ten situation for
the Broncos in the red zone. Meanwhile, time now for
the play of the day in a very special play
of the day, brought to you by ti i rack
dot Com. For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping
customers find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive. Shipped fast and free, backed by free Road,
(24:53):
has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
Ti rack dot kim is the way tire by It
should be now such a special play of the day
because it was actually the play of the day yesterday,
but so good it's the play of the day again
today because we got fresh crazy ass drama coming off
of this play.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
He does something watches after this old score and he's
got the puck.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
That's what he does with the puck, and he's gonna
keep it in his pants. I don't know if he.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Wants to sell it on the open market or not,
but they're not gonna get that puck from Bennington. But
that is until mineman Michelle Cormier came over and said, hey,
jeb catching that there's cameras everywhere, guys.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Tremendous.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
His eBay account would have been popping off after this
game that he pulled that.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Heist off Capitol's radio network on the call, Yes, Alex
Ovechkin's nine hundredth goal of his NHL career last night.
First person to get there obviously a very valuable puck.
Jordan Bennington, goalie for the Blues who's won a.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Stanley Cup, took the puck and put it in his uniform.
After Ovi scores the goal.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Takes the puck, puts it in the back, you know,
puts it down into his pants and is ready to
go play and continue to play, except the officials saw, hey,
wait a minute, give us the puck. That's Ovi's puck
and after the game, the the UH Capitolist players and
Alex Ovechkin said, we saw it happen, but it was
no big deal and who knows what was gonna happen
with it. Bennington said today this is just a couple
(26:26):
hours old, said that he fully intended to give the
puck to Ovechkin his nine hundredth goal. Fully intended to
do that.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, I like to call this story a sandwich without
cheese story. I'm not buying it. Not buying it.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I mean, really, you care that much you want you
got beat for the goal. You wanted to give him
the puck so much so, you were okay with playing
in the game, and you kept the puck on your person,
which makes it a little bit harder to move. Trust me,
try to put a puck down your pants, try to
move around. I mean, I'm not saying doing it when
you're operating heavy machinery, but you get my drift. Uh,
(27:07):
he decided I'm gonna hold on. Oh no, I wanted
to give it to him. You know you could have
done You could have just handed it to him after
the No. See, then they don't get an exchange of a.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Sweater a stick a puck, a photo op, all of
that stuff that goes out the window as soon as
you hand that puck over. So how do we know
they didn't do a switcheroo? Like a Major League Baseball
anytime you're getting towards a milestone or a big moment,
I have the real puck. They've got the authenticators there.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Right, And we see these guys, I mean the two
guys that caught the home runs in the Dodgers, right,
the Will Smith home run, and they they caught both
of them, and they're asked for like two point five
mil But you see them pull the old switcheroo and
throw a dummy ball back down here. Uh, so you
know those are authenticated. Those have the official stamp before
(27:55):
they're even put into play. Was there a special puck
for the Ovechkin? Could he have donald legitimate switcher rude
to where he has the actual game? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
But then but then he would have to never sell it,
never tell anybody, and just he would know, which what's
the point of that, Wait, you wait to look, what's
the point of no? You can't tell people? No, you
can't because that it would find out. Wait, you kept
my puck? Then you look like a jerk, an absolute jerk.
Oh you kept my puck that I scored with. Yeah,
I don't think you're worried about it. If yeah, if
you're going down this road, I don't. I don't think
(28:25):
what's what you're known for.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Like I said, this guy's won a Stanley Cup and
now he's known as the guy that tried to steal
Alex Ovechkin's nine hundredth goal puck because maybe he wanted
to sell it on either I dig the cut. Maybe
he wanted that. Hey, it was he was part of
a big moment. He earned that puck every bit as
much as Okin did. He gave up that goal. He's
part of history too. He's on the other side of
that coin. Yeah, but that he's on the other side
(28:49):
of the goal and give it up that goal. But
that was one goal. He had nine hundred of them,
so it's his. It's not really put.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
If you're the pitcher and you give up Sho hal
Tani's fiftieth home run, that's not the picture's ball.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Yeah. I think if I was the picture, I'd make
claim on it. Yeah. I think I gave that wants it.
He can come through me and pay me off. I
think in the end he's the guy that shot it
at I think it's where you can go and get down,
taking down a hallway at the stadium and they shake
you down for a bat or two.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Like I think you know it. It's kind of like
the philosophy of what it was. It Doug ben Kaevitch right,
who tried to keep the ball, the final ball, the
first red Sox, and there was a whole big thing. Hey,
you have to he was like that ball's were I mean,
imagine what that ball is worth now. But I don't
know if it was just a bad minute or two
by Bennington, But yeah, you can see this that look,
we're in an era where people recognize memorabilia and see
(29:39):
dollar signs right away. Right when Otani hit that fiftieth
home run, I can't believe there wasn't a bigger scrum
for that ball because that's a fifty to fifty ball.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
It's Otani. It's a big deal. Like, I can't believe
people didn't just tear each other apart, like it's a
zombie movie to go get that ball, Like you know,
you're certain things. I just running breaking through the window,
chasing after Amy Madigan, she's got the ball in it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I mean, you know that it's that that how how
valuable certain things are at that moment. And you know
the nine hundreds goulpuck by Alex Ovechkin is gonna be
worth a lot of money. Now you don't know how much,
but you know this is worth more than eight ninety
nine and it's worth more than nine oh one his
last putt. You know that's gonna be worth something. I
just really wonder if Bennington had a weird moment, a
(30:22):
weird couple moments where this puck is worth something, and
do I just hand it over without something happening. Not
that I'm gonna go sell this and say, hey, who
wants to buy it? But like I have this, it's
a it's it's a it's an object, but it's also currency.
It's something that's worth it. And I don't know if
I want to give that up right now, because it's
(30:43):
something that I might want to keep for some reason.
And I saw, because I don't think for a second
Bennington thought, well, I'm gonna keep this. No one's gonna
ask for it. It's like, hey, what may I'm not
gonna give this up, not getting anything in return. So
what am I gonna get for what? Maybe it's money,
maybe it's up, but I'm not gonna trade this. But
really it's not if he does, I had full intention.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
No you didn't yet, you just wanted to hold on
to it because but it's an asset. But I still
think that he has some claim to it like that,
you know, on some level it's he got scored on,
so he gets to keep it. I mean, you have
to make it, take it and all that fun stuff.
That's great, and it's a nine hundredth goal, good on him.
But if I'm the goalie and I end up where
(31:26):
I've got the glove on the on the puck and
I have you know some you know, ownership or possessions
nine tenths of the law, right, so come and get it.
He might have just wanted the photo op after the game,
like it might have been something really simple. I don't know.
I think Jordan.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Bennington being his statue, be a guy again, being a
Stanley Cup winning goal I think he could get a
picture with.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I think you can do that. You know, you got
the puck whatever. I mean, there's just a million things.
I'm not giving it up. It's worth something. I'm not
just giving it. But it also, like I said, he
gave up the goal. He's got the puck. No if
if someone, if someone really wanted it, one of the
Vegkins teammates should have crashed the net. You give me
that puck right now. I'll kick your ASDs bidding. The
(32:09):
little little equipment guy comes sprinting out onto the ice.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Uh so we got some drama happening right now and
Thursday night football. Geno Smith scrambles, gets tackled, is being
looked at on the field.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Kenny Pickett is warming up. He could be in the
game up in a minute for the Raiders. Right now,
let's find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
B Mura has more on this game and more. What
do you got, Breek?
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Oh my gosh, she sounds so professional. I don't know
how to I don't know how to talk. Now, you're
just like Breemurrow. I'm like, hey, guys, deal, Oh yes,
that's a huge deal.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Nick Bonita pulled at Geno Smith's left leg and Gino
fell to the ground. He got up really quickly and
then fell back down. So then everybody attended to him
and Kenny Pickett, is I guess getting ready to go
out there?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Kenny, Kenny so Ken, I know this, but I guess.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
He is the first and only rookie quarterback in NFL
history to win his first two games on game winning drive.
So is he going to do that for Las Vegas?
If he stays in TVD It's Kenny Pickett, It's Kenny Pickett,
Edny Pickett.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah, he's got tiny baby hands. That's a tough time throwing.
Oh no, no, yeah, come on baby.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
Remember that Burger King commercial with the king with the
small hands.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Oh yeah, sure, sure.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
They called me that in high school, like I had
small like because I have small hands. So I traumatized
from that.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Did you wear your nails long to make it look
like your fingers were longer?
Speaker 6 (33:26):
No, I should have to make it look more feminine.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
But yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Broncos are leading the Raiders fourteen minutes left to go
in the fourth quarter. Only one NBA game going on
right now, the Clippers and the Suns. The Sons are
beating the Clippers eighty four to sixty four, and the
only reason why that's happening is Kawhi Leonard and James
Harden are both out, probably planting trees somewhere in LA
maybe Inglewood, not really sure. In hockey, the Penguins beat
(33:52):
the Capitals five to three. Sidney Crosby scored twice, alixode
Vechicken nothing. I know, you guys were just talking about
that whole delio from yes Sturday and in NFL news,
Sauce Gardner has cleared the least cacush your protocol. I
know you're really excited about that. Jason and he's expected
to play in Week ten against the Falcons. A. J.
Brown and Sekwon Barkley. We're both full participants in practice
(34:13):
today as well.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Back to you guys, Thanks a bunch, And you can go,
because I know the Sons are your favorite team. You
can go watch their beat down of the Clippers.
Speaker 6 (34:20):
Yeah, it's exciting. I mean, I'm happy to be here
during this time.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Look so good. You're just happy to be here?
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Oh yeah, I'm just honestly, but it's like they're without
Kawhi and James Harden, so like, does it really count? No,
it doesn't, it doesn't count at all. It's just like
the like the g Lee Clippers.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Oh, Gay, you can't I don't know. You can't just
look at gift horse in the mouth for wins for
the Suns this year. You gotta take whatever you can get.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Guess what though, Bradley Beal is playing so like I
guess like the Clippers are really stoked about that.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Okay, oh yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
Like Kauhi is out James Harden. But hey, Bradley Beal
is playing. I'm like, okay, that's great revenge game against
the Suns.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Thanks got what He's got five points.

We'll have more details on this coming up in about
(36:01):
ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
I got questions coming out of this game. I got
question Yeah, everybody's got questions. How is this game close?
Does bon Knicks really stink? Do you just cut it
down to brass tacks right there? Bone man? But uh,
but look, well, more in this game coming up in
a bit. But today is a big day, right.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I always, I feel very strongly about this being in
sports as long as I have, is that when a
sport is playing its championship or they're in the playoffs,
if your team is not in the playoffs, you can't
wear your team's gear until the playoffs are over, right,
(36:39):
because you're you're sullying what's going on, and you're and
you're you're stepping all over the accomplishments of the teams
that are actually in the playoffs. Right, So, once a
baseball playoffs began, right, I couldn't wear Metskier number one.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
I was embarrassed because you know, we blew that lead.
But still this is you know, you're, you're you're kind
of what you're wearing Metskier while other teams, teams are
battling in the playoffs. I feel like, you know, I'm
not respecting the game as much. So it's tough because
you know me, I like to wear met stuff all
the time, with the Mets hats all the time. Right,
but now, today is the first day of MLB free agency. Right,
(37:15):
No nobody signed, but today is the first day people
can sign contracts. Wow, we had a guy claimed off waivers.
We're getting waiver claims series just days ago. He was
going to be a giant. Okay, yeah so, but but
you know, there's no we didn't get a Schooble trade.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
You know, but today is a big day because today
now marks the first day. Okay, you can wear your
baseball gear again because it's the off season. Now, these
are the rules starting, Jason, These are the rules the
way they should be. No, I disagree. When the football
playoffs start, I can't wear jet Skier in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Because that that you're already looking ahead to next year.
I am sullying the role of the playoffs. I can't.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
I can't wear Jet Skear if my team's not in
the where the gear of some other squad, I just
don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
No, I wear gear of a different team, a different sport.
I could wear that. I can't do that. Kid, you
could wear Mets gear in the playoffs. I'm a big believer.
If you bought it, you wear it. No right, I'm
not a guy that wears a ton of jerseys every
once in a while. We do it. You wear a J.
Cutler jersey once a week? No, no, no, no, no, it's
about once a month. There it's no, it's no no,
it's every Wednesday like without fail. It's it's Harmon Cutler show.
(38:25):
Yesterday was bad guy Scott Hall Ramon. No, no, trust me, everybody,
there's video. There's video evidence to the contrary. Cuttler, suresey
one day a week. You didn't lie to the Globe
you want? I mean, we're a global ed. You are
the cal Ripken of weekly streaks of wearing your J.
Cutler show. I should just on principle now, but it's
(38:49):
it's the kind of thing if you bought it or
someone bought it for you, you wear it, wear it the
rest of the year. Here's good, good, I got playoffs
go on for months.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
There's a good five weeks where it's like, you know what,
respect the game, respect everybody else that's doing better, and
and don't wear your gear.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
No, I'm still celebrating the game in all of Major
League Baseball. You could celebrate something else. You could wear
Bears gear. It's okay to wear bed. But now I'm
not celebrating baseball anymore, am I? No? Now you can
because it's a new season. No, No, But I'm saying
for that month, I don't get to celebrate baseball. Like
you can still celebrate baseball. What am I supposed to
be wearing? The rob low and one of a Major
(39:24):
League baseball you could wear. You could celebrate the game
and love the sport. This is what we did, is
what we do. You're just wearing.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
White Sox gear or Mets gear during this time kind
of sullies what we're trying to accomplide out there. This
is where the best of a sport is on display,
and you want to put not the best on this.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Three of the last four years, we've been record setting
with one hundred lost seasons. I celebrate reaching rock bottom
and you can do that, want to, But when the
playoffs I can when? But when the playoffs are that
five weeks were other stuff. Look, you want to have bulls,
you want to run on that. You know, most of
(40:03):
the politicians had have been running for any office. It
would be pretty cool. Though. No, No, it's actually a
better platform between that the two dollars milk and gas.
Forget about forget about the shutdown. Don't wear baseball gear.
Everybody will be happy. Don't wear gear of teams that
are also rans. Everybody was a much happier walking on
the street every day.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Don't wear gear of today.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
You can wear it now because today starts the off season.
I do what I want. Welcome in, Welcome in respect.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
That's all I say. Respect the game. Respect. You don't respect.
Nobody respects the game more than mister respect. We had
a big story out of the NFL and more in
Broncos Raiders coming up next. Fox

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Hello, Happy Thursday, The Jason Smith Show with my bass.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
For over forty years, tire Rack's been uping customers find
the right 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 tirack dot com.
He is the way tire buying should be. This is
a load of crap right now.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
What we're watching? It's an APPA?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
How the hell are the Raiders and Broncos tied at seven?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
How are the Raiders tied in this game? How is
that that? I can boil it all down.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
To one word.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
This is so the Broncos stink day stace.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
This makes absolutely no Hunter stinks. The offense had forty
four yards and for one drive made it a tie.
And that's the other thing, because the Raiders stink it's
a tie game. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Look, and and I'm not upset because you know the
big bullpredictioner made last night, I said Gino's gonna throw
three picks, including one in the first five throws of
the game. The Broncos are gonna score forty points because
their offense is better at home. I'm not upset about
that because a little bit. I'm not the only win now,
but I'm not the Broncos are gonna win.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I mean, they were nine and a half point favorites.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, But this is the point now, is that I'm
I'm just upset that and I'm more embarrassed for the
Broncos that I am happy that we have a close
game on Thursday night.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Wow. I mean, I'm excited because it's close. Me at
least I should be more excited that it's close, But instead,
I'm just mad that that the Raiders and Broncos are
taught like this. This shouldn't be taught. The Raiders are terrible.
But that's the thing We've talked about these Broncos. And
while the final final stuff looks pretty right, you have
(02:15):
a quarter here, a quarter there, and you put up
some points. The overall sixty minute effort is highly inconsistent. Yeah, right,
and and there are parts of this. Look, they may
still score forty. You have no idea, what's what's still
to come? But then this game because it is after all,
yeah the Raiders. Yeah, but they're playing at home on
a Thursday. Now, they look great. Uniforms look great.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That that's the only passing part now is you could say, boy,
the Broncos stink tonight, but boy, they look great in those.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I'm thinking about Craig Borton, I'm thinking about hell Way.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Oh that's that's like that the Sinful episode when you
know George designed the uniforms for the Yankees. Boy, the
Yankees losing six to one, but boy, they sure look
comfortable in those uniforms. They look around like, hey, they
look great in those uniforms. Like that orange like that
that really pops like this, These throwback Tom Jackson, John
Elway early Arabroncos unis are great, but good for you,
(03:06):
they stink inside them, recognizing the greatness that is Tom Jackson.
I think they need to go back and look at
his career. He had a fantastic rule. But yeah, this
is game two seventy right now.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I mean if I'm just like throwing a dart at
the board of my two seventy two in terms of celebration,
because this is this has been terrible. There's been three
plays and misadventures. The punter for for Denver has been awful. Uh.
And then they keep citing the wind. I'm like, forget
about the wind. He's hitting it off the side of
(03:37):
the foot. Yeah, the wind doesn't have anything to do
unless you're telling me it's that powerful. It could be
that in that two yards he's dropping it onto his foot,
that suddenly there's just that ninety five mile an hour Gus,
that's you know, taking him through a wind tunnel.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
H Hey, you guys went to the Super Bowl and
parked because Sean Landetta whifted on a punt in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
But those were those were like hurricane gusts. Here, I'm
looking at everything weather wise talking about is like, I
don't see anything stronger than eight miles an hour, which
is nothing. That's a that's a little breeze. But what
if the breeze, what if it was all centralized and
localized to his foots. What if it's Drew Brees, what
if it's what if the breeze, what if it's like
a like a dust devil starts the middle of the field, Like,
(04:21):
I like that the dust If that happens, not not
the vacuum cleaner, no, but the actual dirt devil. Yeah. No,
dirt levels, you know, I want one one and never
I never got it. From time out for trivia, he won,
he won a dirt dove. He was supposed to weigh,
he won a bunch of prizes. He was answering trivia questions.
We're all sitting around so funny as hell. Todd Donahoe's
(04:42):
the host, Oh you know, going all the way back,
and it was one of the early call in shows.
He gets on and he wins a metal detector, He
wins the dirt Devil and a couple other things. The
only thing that showed up was the metal detect. Want
a metal detect So he was walking around on the
beach just you know. Eventually they bought a house on
a river and he would go find some cool stuff.
(05:02):
Oh that's nice. I found an engagement ring, money clips.
You never know what you're gonna find on I never
know what and actually an adventure.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, so seven to seven, middle of the third quarter
and Gino Smith. Maybe we spurred Geno Smith on because
I will he did have four touchdowns a week ago.
I will take credit for last night saying he's gonna
throw three picks. One's going to be, one's going to
be a pick six, one's gonna be within the.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
First five throws.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And he's been acceptable so far, meaning he hasn't thrown
a pick. He hasn't been the four touchdown guy a
last week, but he's been acceptable. Maybe throwing that out there,
I got that out of Geno Smith now, so you're welcome,
Raiders Nation.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well, one of the things that's been really uh pressing
here for for Gino Smith that we talked about at
a bunch last night. While you're down a top notch
cover corner in Certan, you do have one of the
greatest pass rushes going in the game. We're talking record
setting through this point in the season. Historically they're already
(06:03):
talking about eighty four bears. You want to go back
that way. He's taken five sacks, but that means that's
five times he did not put the ball in harm's way.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, maybe that they could have been two or three
intersecond that could have happened.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
But that's just it, and so instead he ate it.
So he did the right thing, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And to think that the Bronco Look, it doesn't make
any sense that the Broncos are here, right, it doesn't.
It really doesn't make any sense that they're struggling tonight
with the Raiders after some of the performances they have
put together so far this season. Now we're at the
midway point of the year now, right, so we're in
week nine, and this should have been the moment where
(06:43):
the great teams, the ones that are showing you we
are far and away the.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Top of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Right, Yes, there's a lot of contenders, but usually get
a couple of teams in each conference that separate themselves
a little bit, that show you, hey, these first eight
ten weeks, you know what.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
We're really good. We're really good.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And yeah, we're gonna lose a game or two the
rest of the way because you know, you can't win
every week. And maybe it's a matchup, maybe it's an
injury or something. But usually you get a couple of
teams that that have separated themselves that's the unique thing
about this NFL season. Not one team has separated themselves
where you could say they are the overwhelming favor to
go to the super Bowl. They're one of the top
(07:22):
two teams in the conference, and boy, I expect to
see them in the conference title game. Right you go,
you go, division by division, the Bills and the Patriots
leading the AFC East. Right, the Bills not quite what
we thought they'd be. They they they've shown that they
are much more fallible than we thought. The Patriots have
played nobody right this schedule, it's the easiest schedule in
the NFL. And five finally, they play a good team
(07:44):
on Sunday. But everybody they play stinks. And they haven't
even played the Jets yet. Okay, So is that what
makes it hurt so much?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Easy? I can see how much this wounds you because
there walking through this schedule. They haven't played the Jets yet. No,
and you just had a half of fires. It doesn't
because you shouldn't down halfway through now, Listen. It doesn't
bother me that they're winning. It bothers me that, look
how good the Patriots are.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Look how great vrabel Is looked at that Drake May
is an MVP candidate. He's playing a bunch of stiff teams.
Haven't played anybody good. They played the Bills once. Okay,
that's but it's not like the schedule gets harder than
us of the way.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
But they've got you gotta beat who's on the schedule
right now. It's the same thing for the goal.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But don't tell but don't sit here and tell me
how great they are because they they're beating a bunch
of stiff teams. That's the thing about the payo, oh,
Drake May is yeah, I think I'd put these numbers
up against you.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And I can't throw the ball more than twenty five yards?
Can't that ball? Now? The duke is a really hard way,
I know. But you go there.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
The Steelers, they stink, they don't do anything well, yet
they're at the top of the division. Okay, in the South,
the Colts are good. Is anybody believe in the Colts? No,
it's not a team that we think, oh, they're gonna
go all the way. Look at the AFC West. He
had a lot of talented teams, Broncos up at the top. Yeah,
they got problems obviously, because here they are They've lost
a couple of games and nearly lost a game to
the Giants, need to score thirty points in the four quarter,
(09:00):
and they're tied with the Raiders. You go to the
NFC East and the Eagles have issues, still figuring out
who they are offensively. In the NFC North, the Lions,
we thought they would jump in and be great all
the way through, but they have shown you we will
stub bar toe all the way through. The South, we
thought Tampa Bay might be really good, but no, they've
hit the skids last couple weeks. Now they're coming off
of buye. In the NFC West, you want.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
To say the Rams maybe, but the Rams have shown you, hey,
we can lose. This is not every week where we're
beating teams forty one seventeen. This is usually we get
like there's at least three teams right now in the
NFL that we can say, hey, they're really good.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They are the elite. Right, even the Chiefs. Every one's
pointing to the Chiefs are one game over five hundred.
They lost last week, Right, the Chiefs have problems. Everybody's
got problems. There's not one team or again, you'd think
there would be at least three that you could say
they're great, they're at the top. This is who right
now the favorites are to get to the super Bowl. Instead,
it's everybody has issues. The best teams have issues. This
(09:58):
is a wide open season, one of the more wide
open seasons I can remember. And it's like college football
in the NFL the same thing, absolutely wide open everybody.
Even if the Broncos win this game, I'm not gonna
walk around and say see how great they are. No,
they held the Raiders up for three and a half
quarters before they found it. Why it winning a game
like I can't remember where there's not been that favorite
because normally it's the Chiefs are this good and the
(10:20):
Eagles are this good, or before them, the Patriots were
this good, the Steelers were this good, the forty nine
Ers were this good. But this year, nobody, nobody. You
can say, yeah, they can beat anybody any given Sunday
on a field right now. You cannot say that about
any team in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
This is great for business and certainly for us for
the second half. Look, if you're a fan out there
of a team that's in a quasi contender status and
you've ever thought oh, maybe if things break our way,
you know, I would go to the Super Bowl city.
Go book yourself a room somewhere in the larger Santa
Clara area, because right now you have no idea how
this is gonna break out. Right Which teams are healthy?
(10:54):
You talk about Tampa, can they keep anybody on the field,
and it's Baker Mayfield every week it seems like he's
being introduced to some new guys to either run the
ball or catch it. You talk about these Broncos, well,
last week, great game against Houston. Not aesthetically pleasing unless
you just love to watch, you know, a chess match
where one little thing is going to make a game
(11:14):
eighteen fifteen isn't something that's jumping off the pages and
the highlight reels. But it was a good fount of
the win. That one. They're on this six game winning streak.
But you got Cincinnati, the Giants where they needed to comeback.
A beat down of the Cowboys. I meant a lot
of teams that, as you like to say, stink as well.
So you beat who's on the schedule, and you hope
(11:36):
that you find some sense of identity as you go,
and certainly for Denver, they're going to be trading on
how far that defense can take them and hoping to
sprinkle a little magic on bow knicks now and again.
But yeah, your point's well taken is that there's nobody
that scares you. You can go team by team and
decide which side of the ball or when we want
(11:56):
to add that pesky special teams thing. That's where the
Rams comes in, right, because they've had all sorts of
issues and they're kicking game and secondary they've addressed it
to a degree. We'll see how that holds it for
a second half.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You know, you take a team like the Rams and say, okay, well,
if they didn't have special teams, miscues, miss a field
goal at the end, they would have won those games. Yeah,
remember they would have lost the Colts if aDNA Mitchell
the way through.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
But that's just it's one play here, one play there
in the margin of error has been diminished, which is
the way he wants it. Well, he gets it, and
that's exactly what you did there, Guns and Roses. Very nice,
very nice. Yeah yeah, full on Duff McKagan day for me.
But as you know, you're watching this game, this just
feels like the Broncos will do just enough to win.
(12:43):
It's not pretty, and you move on and you're left
with the same questions that you had in the second
quarter when they could move the ball, the third quarter
as they're sputtering and trying to get to midfield. Yeah,
this is where we're at. NFL twenty twenty five. It's fantastic.
You want to do you a little Super Bowl odds thing?
Real cood? Sure, go ahead, all right? You got the
Chiefs are your favorite five point fifty, because why everybody
(13:05):
else is I don't know. The Bills at plus six hundred.
The Lions are the favorite in the NFC tiede with
the Eagles at eight to one, Rams just behind them
eight and a half. Packers still at nine to one
despite their sputtering offense. I don't know what they are
at this point, Colt set eleven to one, and then
your next favorite the Seattle Oh there we go, yes,
(13:29):
eleven to one, Yeah, Sam, Sam Sam Sam Sam SAMs
So yeah, New England and the Chargers still down there
at twenty five.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I mean, it's the fruit. Nobody you can say is
really really good. Nobody, nobody, And again, going towards the end,
I agree with you. It's just gonna be boy, how
are the Raiders gonna blow this game? Is it gonna
be such Raider esque fashion? Or will be just a
generic Thursday night football They there's a field goal to
win the game, or they really go full Raiders, like
that's what I'm hoping that some hope. But you want
(13:58):
to see Geno a full Genoa hope that happens.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But is it gonna I mean really, because you can
never take the full memory of his Jets dumb out
of there, because I mean just every time he's on
national television, what do you get in your timeline? I
sure as hell see Gino Smith was punched in the
face today seven at least three or four times, seven
to seven midway through the third quarter on Thursday Night football.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
These are the games Al Michaels has warned about. So
we got more and will keep you updated on this
coming up next week.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Have what is, without a doubt, the nuttiest, craziest story
out of sports today that I can't believe this is
something that actually happened.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
I feel like I should be watching a movie montage
right now. What of all the bad plays from this
game live, like like a Rocky training scene, or you know,
maybe maybe somebody from the eighties wearing leg warmers. Oh

Speaker 3 (16:35):
And rip the knob off. Now, my prognostication powers are back.
I'm back. I'm back.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
All you do in the game about Geno Smith, and
he delivered last night. Made the Big Bowl prediction Geno
Smith tonight against the Broncos. He's gonna throw three picks right,
and the three interceptions are going to be One was
gonna be within the first five passes of the game,
one was gonna be a pick six, yeah, and one
was gonna be off at yeah right. Those are my
three picks, right, three picks. Now, obviously, the first five
(17:04):
throws of the game. That one out the window. Yeah, yeah, right,
waiting for the pick six. It's still seven to seven
late in the third quarter. But just got Geno's first
pick A big deflection. This is this is not just hey.
It tipped off the receiver's hands, gent over the middle,
bounces off his shoulder, pads up in the air, the
Broncos catch it.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I'm back, man, I'm back. My predictions are back. I
got the first one. I just gotta go one more,
gotta get the pick six, got it first ten going
across the middle and an easy catch, seven eight yard game.
Maybe a juke get you to fight to the first
down marker. Instead, it's up and it's picked off. It's
(17:43):
a shame that those count against quarterbacks, right because in
the box score, that's gonna look like, hey, Genome had
a bad throw. Yeah yeah, but like you watched that,
and I don't think anything got posted that fast on
the inner wims in a long time. Look how terrible
this is because he scored early, right, gent he found
the end zone early. Yeah, you got your your savorite
(18:05):
touchdown because he's not really done a whole hell of
a lot else but this play, and then they did
the montage like you could have played the I'm holding
out for a Hero song with all the dejected looks
from Raider to Raider. I think they did one ISO
shot for all eleven guys coming off the field look
at all sad and forlorn.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Yeah well, I mean well that is a very common
look on Raiders faces. Usually the fans are sad and forlorn.
Sometimes it got to the players.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Well, maybe a bag on their heads or a silver
face paint. Yeah no, no longer. It's not the stuff that
the Tin Man used because that that did not end
well for him. Oh like Tobias and the Blue Man group,
I have too much blue paint on. I can't. Oh boy,
how did the how they stand up and do this?
So we are seven to seven late in the third
(18:52):
quarter of a game. I mean, these are the games
where al Michael says, why did I come back and
do this? What is happening here is supposed to see
a really good team beat the Raiders, and instead we
are watching the Broncos just fight every tooth and nail.
They're whiffing on punts.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
They are not able to show you that put This
is embarrasing, Like if I'm the This is the quintessential
example of Hey, when a coach, if you win a
game and then you get to scream at your team
after because you know they played bad. Like this is
that game and I don't have one yet. I mean
they're expecting them to pull it out at some point,
but like that is where Hey, is anybody happy after
this game?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Not none of us because we should have beat the
Raiders by a lot more. You know why, one reason
because the Raiders stink. See, there's a there's a big difference.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So we talk about the competitiveness, right, the ease of
being able to prepare out of short week for a
division game. That's got nothing to do with this. This
is just poor, terrible execution. Yeah, Like I showed you
that the punt I referenced in the first segment as
we started the show. There's no wind involved there. That's
(19:57):
just a poor technique. That's like me going out and
trying to kick and I got no flexibility to raise
my lego, so I got to drop the ball a
little front, no, no, off the side of the foot.
Just terrible. But the stadium looks great. And again those
helmets and uniforms.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Oh yeah, I really looks like a young Brian Greasy.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
No, there's the uniforms. Look at Rod Smith and yeah,
I come on, you know these are more like Ed McCaffrey.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
No, no, no, these are more like I think it's
even brand than the orange when they when they were
the big Super Bowl team and the big AFC title
games late eighties. These are like the seventies Randy gratishar.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
And and those guys. Yeah, they are really bright. It's
almost like they're the color rush bright orange jerseys. Like
as you go back and look at the the lway.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Okay, yeah they're orange obviously, but not like this, Like
sometimes they used to have the satiny orange that looked
really good.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
But uh no, this is like seventies bro. So are
they making up for the fact that the Dolphins fail
by not going orange on Halloween?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Nothing can make up for that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Look, it's been a season of epic fail for the Dolphins.
That's your stand for everything, right, No, how do you
not go all orange on Halloween?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
You gotta do that.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
So we'll keep you updated on this game again. Well
it's still seven stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Describe that. Describe what you just watched.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Gino Smith rolled out right and threw the ball about
eight feet into the ground and the ball rolled out
of bounds. There's a flag for intentional grounding coming up
for Gino Smith.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
That was terrible.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
This game was seven to seven when we started the
show a half hour ago. It is seven to seven now,
it'll continue to be seven to seven. This game may
end seven to seven. I think that would be appropriate,
okay for what we've seen. Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Sometimes quick ten minutes over time play between the twenties,
we get nothing. And I would want to meet up
with Pete Carroll and and Sean Payton on the field
after the game and go, Todd, you guys deserve this.
They would say, we know, No, I don't know. Pete
Carroll would get excited about it. Sean Payton would start
chewing you. You guys got to own this. You guys
this understand? Yes, yes, yeah. You both deserve to tie.
(22:03):
You deserve the way this is played. You deserve to tie.
This is like the Cowboys forty forty game early this year.
That's exciting, lot of points. Yeah, that was last where
last guy with the ball wins this.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You're one of those games where you both deserve to
tie and because we feel like it we're giving you losses.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Both of you are getting losses. I think they should
just stop it right now. I feel like I'm done.
This is this is terrible. Let's see ten thirty on
a on a on a on a Thursday night, East Coast.
You gotta say I could go to bed. I'm going
to early jump on the week. Is this where you
start putting up all the Black Friday deals because it
is on Amazon? Uh? Well, I can't believe they have
I'm prime. I mean, why why are they not hilling
(22:40):
for products? Here's al Michael's telling you where to get
an air fryer or a drone. He's playing a drone around. Hey, look,
here's here's Kirk's dog hanging out in the corner. I
could see him with my drone. All right, a couple
of things want to look out for here? In the
second what do we want? Okay, Kirk?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Can your dog come and do a couple of things here?
The third quarter? Okay, outside of that, what can we sell?
Do we have an Amazon Prime Day coming up? Is
there something coming? Do we have some sort of.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Of deal we can do? Hey, you know, maybe we'll
go to the book section.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Of Amazon and find the kindle deals of the day,
like what what can we need to do with that?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
That's what we have.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
We just had a big play what passes for a
big play in the game. The Raiders just had a
punt blocked. The Broncos blocked the punt at the four
yard line. The ball bounces and they rate and the
it's recovered by the Broncos and they return it back
to about the seven. It wasn't a punt block where
the ball went into the end zone. It was a
(23:36):
punt block where the ball went forward a few yards.
For you fantasy the uh yeah, when pass the line
of scrimmage. So the Broncos have the football now first
and ten from the twelve yard line. Maybe we'll get points.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I mean not definitely yea, but maybe we get You know,
I used to have to write faques that we would
send out to say, all right, it doesn't count as
a block, get over yourself. But he hit the ball
went past the line. Scripts Look before that punt, I mean,
my man was averaging like forty two yards of punt
with some good hang time. Yeah, he was the MVP
of the damn game. That's the thing in every defensive struggle,
(24:11):
the punter always has a big day because there's a
reason why teams can't trust. Yeah, there's never a defensive
struggle where the punter has a bad day because usually
that means well, short fields, we score more points. Punters
always have a bit three that he knocked down inside
him twenty coffin corner kicker. I mean he had all
of it and now he got a block, you know,
a deflection.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Breemureau will have more on this game coming up in
a few minutes again, a first and ten situation for
the Broncos in the red zone. Meanwhile, time now for
the play of the day in a very special play

should be now such a special play of the day
because it was actually the play of the day yesterday,
but so good it's the play of the day again
today because we got fresh crazy ass drama coming off
of this play.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
He does something watches after this old score and he's
got the puck.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
That's what he does with the puck, and he's gonna
keep it in his pants. I don't know if he.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Wants to sell it on the open market or not,
but they're not gonna get that puck from Bennington. But
that is until mineman Michelle Cormier came over and said, hey,
jeb catching that there's cameras everywhere, guys.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Tremendous.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
His eBay account would have been popping off after this
game that he pulled that.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Heist off Capitol's radio network on the call, Yes, Alex
Ovechkin's nine hundredth goal of his NHL career last night.
First person to get there obviously a very valuable puck.
Jordan Bennington, goalie for the Blues who's won a.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Stanley Cup, took the puck and put it in his uniform.
After Ovi scores the goal.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Takes the puck, puts it in the back, you know,
puts it down into his pants and is ready to
go play and continue to play, except the officials saw, hey,
wait a minute, give us the puck. That's Ovi's puck
and after the game, the the UH Capitolist players and
Alex Ovechkin said, we saw it happen, but it was
no big deal and who knows what was gonna happen
with it. Bennington said today this is just a couple
(26:26):
hours old, said that he fully intended to give the
puck to Ovechkin his nine hundredth goal. Fully intended to
do that.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, I like to call this story a sandwich without
cheese story. I'm not buying it. Not buying it.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I mean, really, you care that much you want you
got beat for the goal. You wanted to give him
the puck so much so, you were okay with playing
in the game, and you kept the puck on your person,
which makes it a little bit harder to move. Trust me,
try to put a puck down your pants, try to
move around. I mean, I'm not saying doing it when
you're operating heavy machinery, but you get my drift. Uh,
(27:07):
he decided I'm gonna hold on. Oh no, I wanted
to give it to him. You know you could have
done You could have just handed it to him after
the No. See, then they don't get an exchange of a.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Sweater a stick a puck, a photo op, all of
that stuff that goes out the window as soon as
you hand that puck over. So how do we know
they didn't do a switcheroo? Like a Major League Baseball
anytime you're getting towards a milestone or a big moment,
I have the real puck. They've got the authenticators there.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Right, And we see these guys, I mean the two
guys that caught the home runs in the Dodgers, right,
the Will Smith home run, and they they caught both
of them, and they're asked for like two point five
mil But you see them pull the old switcheroo and
throw a dummy ball back down here. Uh, so you
know those are authenticated. Those have the official stamp before
(27:55):
they're even put into play. Was there a special puck
for the Ovechkin? Could he have donald legitimate switcher rude
to where he has the actual game? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
But then but then he would have to never sell it,
never tell anybody, and just he would know, which what's
the point of that, Wait, you wait to look, what's
the point of no? You can't tell people? No, you
can't because that it would find out. Wait, you kept
my puck? Then you look like a jerk, an absolute jerk.
Oh you kept my puck that I scored with. Yeah,
I don't think you're worried about it. If yeah, if
you're going down this road, I don't. I don't think
(28:25):
what's what you're known for.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Like I said, this guy's won a Stanley Cup and
now he's known as the guy that tried to steal
Alex Ovechkin's nine hundredth goal puck because maybe he wanted
to sell it on either I dig the cut. Maybe
he wanted that. Hey, it was he was part of
a big moment. He earned that puck every bit as
much as Okin did. He gave up that goal. He's
part of history too. He's on the other side of
that coin. Yeah, but that he's on the other side
(28:49):
of the goal and give it up that goal. But
that was one goal. He had nine hundred of them,
so it's his. It's not really put.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
If you're the pitcher and you give up Sho hal
Tani's fiftieth home run, that's not the picture's ball.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Yeah. I think if I was the picture, I'd make
claim on it. Yeah. I think I gave that wants it.
He can come through me and pay me off. I
think in the end he's the guy that shot it
at I think it's where you can go and get down,
taking down a hallway at the stadium and they shake
you down for a bat or two.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Like I think you know it. It's kind of like
the philosophy of what it was. It Doug ben Kaevitch right,
who tried to keep the ball, the final ball, the
first red Sox, and there was a whole big thing. Hey,
you have to he was like that ball's were I mean,
imagine what that ball is worth now. But I don't
know if it was just a bad minute or two
by Bennington, But yeah, you can see this that look,
we're in an era where people recognize memorabilia and see
(29:39):
dollar signs right away. Right when Otani hit that fiftieth
home run, I can't believe there wasn't a bigger scrum
for that ball because that's a fifty to fifty ball.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
It's Otani. It's a big deal. Like, I can't believe
people didn't just tear each other apart, like it's a
zombie movie to go get that ball, Like you know,
you're certain things. I just running breaking through the window,
chasing after Amy Madigan, she's got the ball in it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I mean, you know that it's that that how how
valuable certain things are at that moment. And you know
the nine hundreds goulpuck by Alex Ovechkin is gonna be
worth a lot of money. Now you don't know how much,
but you know this is worth more than eight ninety
nine and it's worth more than nine oh one his
last putt. You know that's gonna be worth something. I
just really wonder if Bennington had a weird moment, a
(30:22):
weird couple moments where this puck is worth something, and
do I just hand it over without something happening. Not
that I'm gonna go sell this and say, hey, who
wants to buy it? But like I have this, it's
a it's it's a it's an object, but it's also currency.
It's something that's worth it. And I don't know if
I want to give that up right now, because it's
(30:43):
something that I might want to keep for some reason.
And I saw, because I don't think for a second
Bennington thought, well, I'm gonna keep this. No one's gonna
ask for it. It's like, hey, what may I'm not
gonna give this up, not getting anything in return. So
what am I gonna get for what? Maybe it's money,
maybe it's up, but I'm not gonna trade this. But
really it's not if he does, I had full intention.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
No you didn't yet, you just wanted to hold on
to it because but it's an asset. But I still
think that he has some claim to it like that,
you know, on some level it's he got scored on,
so he gets to keep it. I mean, you have
to make it, take it and all that fun stuff.
That's great, and it's a nine hundredth goal, good on him.
But if I'm the goalie and I end up where
(31:26):
I've got the glove on the on the puck and
I have you know some you know, ownership or possessions
nine tenths of the law, right, so come and get it.
He might have just wanted the photo op after the game,
like it might have been something really simple. I don't know.
I think Jordan.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Bennington being his statue, be a guy again, being a
Stanley Cup winning goal I think he could get a
picture with.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I think you can do that. You know, you got
the puck whatever. I mean, there's just a million things.
I'm not giving it up. It's worth something. I'm not
just giving it. But it also, like I said, he
gave up the goal. He's got the puck. No if
if someone, if someone really wanted it, one of the
Vegkins teammates should have crashed the net. You give me
that puck right now. I'll kick your ASDs bidding. The
(32:09):
little little equipment guy comes sprinting out onto the ice.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Uh so we got some drama happening right now and
Thursday night football. Geno Smith scrambles, gets tackled, is being
looked at on the field.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Kenny Pickett is warming up. He could be in the
game up in a minute for the Raiders. Right now,
let's find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
B Mura has more on this game and more. What
do you got, Breek?
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Oh my gosh, she sounds so professional. I don't know
how to I don't know how to talk. Now, you're
just like Breemurrow. I'm like, hey, guys, deal, Oh yes,
that's a huge deal.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Nick Bonita pulled at Geno Smith's left leg and Gino
fell to the ground. He got up really quickly and
then fell back down. So then everybody attended to him
and Kenny Pickett, is I guess getting ready to go
out there?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Kenny, Kenny so Ken, I know this, but I guess.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
He is the first and only rookie quarterback in NFL
history to win his first two games on game winning drive.
So is he going to do that for Las Vegas?
If he stays in TVD It's Kenny Pickett, It's Kenny Pickett,
Edny Pickett.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah, he's got tiny baby hands. That's a tough time throwing.
Oh no, no, yeah, come on baby.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
Remember that Burger King commercial with the king with the
small hands.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Oh yeah, sure, sure.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
They called me that in high school, like I had
small like because I have small hands. So I traumatized
from that.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Did you wear your nails long to make it look
like your fingers were longer?
Speaker 6 (33:26):
No, I should have to make it look more feminine.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
But yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Broncos are leading the Raiders fourteen minutes left to go
in the fourth quarter. Only one NBA game going on
right now, the Clippers and the Suns. The Sons are
beating the Clippers eighty four to sixty four, and the
only reason why that's happening is Kawhi Leonard and James
Harden are both out, probably planting trees somewhere in LA
maybe Inglewood, not really sure. In hockey, the Penguins beat
(33:52):
the Capitals five to three. Sidney Crosby scored twice, alixode
Vechicken nothing. I know, you guys were just talking about
that whole delio from yes Sturday and in NFL news,
Sauce Gardner has cleared the least cacush your protocol. I
know you're really excited about that. Jason and he's expected
to play in Week ten against the Falcons. A. J.
Brown and Sekwon Barkley. We're both full participants in practice
(34:13):
today as well.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Back to you guys, Thanks a bunch, And you can go,
because I know the Sons are your favorite team. You
can go watch their beat down of the Clippers.
Speaker 6 (34:20):
Yeah, it's exciting. I mean, I'm happy to be here
during this time.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Look so good. You're just happy to be here?
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Oh yeah, I'm just honestly, but it's like they're without
Kawhi and James Harden, so like, does it really count? No,
it doesn't, it doesn't count at all. It's just like
the like the g Lee Clippers.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Oh, Gay, you can't I don't know. You can't just
look at gift horse in the mouth for wins for
the Suns this year. You gotta take whatever you can get.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Guess what though, Bradley Beal is playing so like I
guess like the Clippers are really stoked about that.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Okay, oh yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
Like Kauhi is out James Harden. But hey, Bradley Beal
is playing. I'm like, okay, that's great revenge game against
the Suns.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Thanks got what He's got five points.

a game only purists people who don't like points good love.
We'll have more details on this coming up in about
(36:01):
ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
I got questions coming out of this game. I got
question Yeah, everybody's got questions. How is this game close?
Does bon Knicks really stink? Do you just cut it
down to brass tacks right there? Bone man? But uh,
but look, well, more in this game coming up in
a bit. But today is a big day, right.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I always, I feel very strongly about this being in
sports as long as I have, is that when a
sport is playing its championship or they're in the playoffs,
if your team is not in the playoffs, you can't
wear your team's gear until the playoffs are over, right,
(36:39):
because you're you're sullying what's going on, and you're and
you're you're stepping all over the accomplishments of the teams
that are actually in the playoffs. Right, So, once a
baseball playoffs began, right, I couldn't wear Metskier number one.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
I was embarrassed because you know, we blew that lead.
But still this is you know, you're, you're you're kind
of what you're wearing Metskier while other teams, teams are
battling in the playoffs. I feel like, you know, I'm
not respecting the game as much. So it's tough because
you know me, I like to wear met stuff all
the time, with the Mets hats all the time. Right,
but now, today is the first day of MLB free agency. Right,
(37:15):
No nobody signed, but today is the first day people
can sign contracts. Wow, we had a guy claimed off waivers.
We're getting waiver claims series just days ago. He was
going to be a giant. Okay, yeah so, but but
you know, there's no we didn't get a Schooble trade.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
You know, but today is a big day because today
now marks the first day. Okay, you can wear your
baseball gear again because it's the off season. Now, these
are the rules starting, Jason, These are the rules the
way they should be. No, I disagree. When the football
playoffs start, I can't wear jet Skier in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Because that that you're already looking ahead to next year.
I am sullying the role of the playoffs. I can't.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
I can't wear Jet Skear if my team's not in
the where the gear of some other squad, I just
don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
No, I wear gear of a different team, a different sport.
I could wear that. I can't do that. Kid, you
could wear Mets gear in the playoffs. I'm a big believer.
If you bought it, you wear it. No right, I'm
not a guy that wears a ton of jerseys every
once in a while. We do it. You wear a J.
Cutler jersey once a week? No, no, no, no, no, it's
about once a month. There it's no, it's no no,
it's every Wednesday like without fail. It's it's Harmon Cutler show.
(38:25):
Yesterday was bad guy Scott Hall Ramon. No, no, trust me, everybody,
there's video. There's video evidence to the contrary. Cuttler, suresey
one day a week. You didn't lie to the Globe
you want? I mean, we're a global ed. You are
the cal Ripken of weekly streaks of wearing your J.
Cutler show. I should just on principle now, but it's
(38:49):
it's the kind of thing if you bought it or
someone bought it for you, you wear it, wear it the
rest of the year. Here's good, good, I got playoffs
go on for months.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
There's a good five weeks where it's like, you know what,
respect the game, respect everybody else that's doing better, and
and don't wear your gear.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
No, I'm still celebrating the game in all of Major
League Baseball. You could celebrate something else. You could wear
Bears gear. It's okay to wear bed. But now I'm
not celebrating baseball anymore, am I? No? Now you can
because it's a new season. No, No, But I'm saying
for that month, I don't get to celebrate baseball. Like
you can still celebrate baseball. What am I supposed to
be wearing? The rob low and one of a Major
(39:24):
League baseball you could wear. You could celebrate the game
and love the sport. This is what we did, is
what we do. You're just wearing.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
White Sox gear or Mets gear during this time kind
of sullies what we're trying to accomplide out there. This
is where the best of a sport is on display,
and you want to put not the best on this.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Three of the last four years, we've been record setting
with one hundred lost seasons. I celebrate reaching rock bottom
and you can do that, want to, But when the
playoffs I can when? But when the playoffs are that
five weeks were other stuff. Look, you want to have bulls,
you want to run on that. You know, most of
(40:03):
the politicians had have been running for any office. It
would be pretty cool. Though. No, No, it's actually a
better platform between that the two dollars milk and gas.
Forget about forget about the shutdown. Don't wear baseball gear.
Everybody will be happy. Don't wear gear of teams that
are also rans. Everybody was a much happier walking on
the street every day.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Don't wear gear of today.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
You can wear it now because today starts the off season.
I do what I want. Welcome in, Welcome in respect.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
That's all I say. Respect the game. Respect. You don't respect.
Nobody respects the game more than mister respect. We had
a big story out of the NFL and more in
Broncos Raiders coming up next. Fox
