Speaker 2 (00:22):
Let's give this part. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, Oakland Side, Hour two of the Jason Smith Show
with my bas friend Mike Harmon. Sue live from the
tirag dot Com studios tiraq dot com. We'll help you

hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers tirack dot com.
The way tire buying should be right now, bottom of
(00:52):
the eighth inning, two on one out and make it
going to the top of the ninth inning. Iglesias gets
out of the bottom of the He's thinning with a
runner at first, So now the Phillies are two outs
away from making it to the NLCS. I can't tell,
but it does not look like Bryce Harper will be
coming out for the ninth inning to play first base.
(01:13):
He is in the dugout, putting his hat on, he
was putting his ball cap, he was putting his cap on.
What LaRusso, headman, I really like your car, missus Laruso.
So it could be defensive purposes. It could be the
injury to his arm. But the good news is he
is in the dugout. So the injury that he suffered
(01:34):
at the end of the eighth inning, same arm, same
elbow to Tommy John surgery when Olsen ran by and
bumped into his arm at first base. Again, not a
dirty play, just to play. That happened and Harper had
his arm out when he should have had it down
at his side. It's just one of those things that happened.
But good news is it looks like Harper is okay,
because if he needed to be examined, you assume he
would be out of the dugout. But Bryce Harper is
(01:55):
a tough dude. He might decide you look at me
after the game. I'm in the dugout with everybody till
the game is over. So right now, what I'm saying
is we don't know, but at least the fact that
he is there in the dugout maybe you can say
things are okay and he's moving, and maybe that's just
precautionary that he's out of there.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Trying to find our positivity. As it were. He had
left the field going back into the tunnel, so he's
at least back in whatever the preliminary tests were, or
if he needed maybe maybe a little numbing. It got
him right, But we look at the I wanted to
get a picture with We've got four monitors here in
(02:32):
our studio for the you know, pullback a curtain for
a minute, and we had the converge, right because you
have Harper leaves with an injury, and we were a
little bit sad because you know, we love our superstars, right,
we want our big time players, particularly as some of
these star Layden teams go to the wayside as the
(02:53):
playoffs continue. So Bryce Harper among the biggest and including
those two home runs and the greatest stare down ever.
I'm still waiting for the trading card to be relea
so I could buy it and then have him sign it.
But you have that, you have this train wreck that
is the Kansas City Chiefs Denver Broncos game now nineteen
to eight Broncos scored after a terrible roughing the passer penalty.
(03:18):
They must have decided to defender got just enough body
weight on Russell Wilson to call it a little bit
maybe maybe a little bit. The key was the other
monitor had changed into a crying Golden Bachelor. So I
don't know because he was he was facing the other
two monitors, so I don't know if in that moment
he could see what we were seeing, so he was
(03:39):
crying or what.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, we're having TV difficulties here right now in the studios.
What Harmon's trying to say, Harper is in fact going
out on the life. There he is, He's going out
to first base. He will be playing the ninth inning.
So looks like Bryce Harper is okay, Yeah, he was just.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Crying like all of America, the Golden Bachelor will Yeah,
the Golden Bachelor is crying.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
And then there try they're watching Friday the thirteenth movies,
and we have a lot of teas, a lot going on.
There's a lot as long as I say, hey, leave.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
The football in the baseball game on it, Yeah, don't
change those TVs. Yes, so we'll have more.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
On the Braves and the Phillies coming up in a
few minutes. Again, we're getting in the top of the
ninth inning. The Phillies are three outs away from the NLCS. Meanwhile,
less than two minutes left to go, as Mike Harmon said,
Harrison Bucker's fourth field goal of the night. Again, if
you played Patrick Mahomes in fantasy like I did, I'm
sorry for you.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So it is a nineteen to eight lead that the
Chiefs have. The Broncos have the ball again, it's a
two or game, and it's been an awful night offensively
for Denver.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
It's been really, really bad. And we'll get to more
on the Broncos coming up in a few minutes. But
look at the Chiefs, okay, because this is something that's
gonna happen, Because this is not even though they're gonna
win tonight and they're gonna go on and they're gonna
have one loss and they're gonna be five and one,
it's gonna be Look at the Chiefs or wherever we
thought they were. They're the champs, they're not quite the Chiefs.
(05:08):
They're struggling a little bit too much with teams they
should be beating much more handily. Now the Chiefs have
had this happen before. I don't know if it's the
Chiefs get bored or hey, look we beat teams. We
put up points for a while with Patrick Mahomes, and
now we get to point where okay, we're playing this game.
We're winning. But so far this year, the Chiefs offense
(05:29):
has not been what it should be. It is not
fired on all cylinders, proving that you can't just replace
wide receivers with different wide receivers every year and expect
the same result. The Chiefs have been playing well. The
Chiefs are really really talented, right we we know this. Look,
they're the defending champs two Super Bowls the last three
years for a reason. But they just don't look like
(05:49):
the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
They just don't look like that indomitable, intimidating.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Team that we normally get. Boy, we got the Chiefs
this week. They're gonna score fifty. Honest, Mahomes gonna be
flipping the ball behind his back. That's not who they are.
Their running game has been hit and miss. Sometimes that
j Isaia Pacheco looks good. Sometimes he doesn't. But the
Chiefs just are not the same right now. And it's
good that Travis Kelcey finally had a good night with
Taylor Swift in attendance again because that poor tends well
(06:18):
for them, because Kelsey had not had a great year
up until this point. But seeing the Chiefs not quite
being who they are okay for most of the league, Hey,
that's great. The Chiefs are gettible. Yeah, they're gonna be
gettable for a couple more weeks because I guarantee you
what's gonna happen is the Chiefs are gonna go get
a wide receiver at the deadline, and they're gonna get
(06:39):
a big wide receiver. They're not gonna get Jerry Judy
because Judy, even though he's on the trading block, is
not gonna be dealt within the division. But there's gonna
be other guys out there from teams that are gonna say,
we're starting over, we're paying a wide receiver. Wide receivers
usually positioned, we can get big. There's gonna be guys
out there now. Beginning of the season, he would have thought, well,
(06:59):
Mike Evans is gonna be there because he's unhappy. But
the Bucks are three and one, so they're not gonna
sit tight. DeVonta Adams might want out, but again, division,
they're not gonna go there. But the Chiefs are gonna
get somebody big because they have to, because this is
not a Chiefs team playing right now with what they
have that can compete with the best teams in the NFL.
They can't compete with the forty nine ers the way
(07:19):
this team is, they can't. They just can't do it.
They probably can't score with the Dolphins like they're going
to have to do. They're gonna need something and they're
gonna get a big receiver at the deadline. It's gonna
be somebody big coming in and it's gonna be look
the blank out for the Chiefs now and it's gonna
suddenly take their offense to another level because that's really
what they need. Travis Kelcey's been missing a lot of
yak over the course of this season, and that's the
(07:40):
one thing's beginning the catches, but he's just not been
the hey game breaker chunk yardage that Kelsey was expected
to be. Tonight was a different story, but again Broncos
still though nineteen points for the Chiefs tonight, they didn't
they haven't been doing what the Chiefs normally do on offense.
And after seeing this now with a pretty big sample,
sop have seen them get through six weeks. All right, now, uh,
(08:04):
it's time to understand. You got to spend the next
three weeks working on something, working on a big deal
to go get a wide receiver and a legitimate number
one wide receiver. Sometimes you can get by, right, you
got by last year at you just Smith Schuster and
a couple of guys that now it's okay, we're gonna
rev ramp that. We like sky Moore, we like Justin Watson,
we like Canarius Tony. All these guys are just jags
(08:25):
and there's nobody that you have to worry about. And
you can you can clamp down on kells a little bit,
maybe you bracken them a little bit more. But the
Chiefs are gonna have to go get a wide receiver,
and they will and it's gonna completely change the offense.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Just like the end.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
People go great, now the Chiefs have got it back again.
But trust me, they're gonna do it. They'll do it
a deadline. It'll be somebody big.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I mean, it's a good thing that you're not working sidelines.
You just called a lot of receivers, Jaggs, Jack Well,
you guys are Jacks app Steve Smith, I'm ready for
your podcast. Oh come on, they're all jags. They're all jags.
I got no qualm saying it.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
The most curious est guy for me is in Arizona now.
Cede Lamb changed his Twitter banner yesterday to an old
picture of him with Hollywood Brown. Hollywood Brown's a guy
that I see as a pretty nice chip on the
marketplace right Arizona scrappy, gutsy, whatever term you want to
(09:22):
and they'll steal a couple of games. Although with James
Connor going down that doesn't bode well for things. But
Hollywood Brown is a guy that should be gettable. We've
talked a little bit in some rumors. Maybe you have
happy reunions with guys that had been there before. Not
that I see the Jets necessarily sending your guy Nicole
(09:44):
Hardman back, but it's a name that's been bandied about.
Juju Smith. Schuster's doing a whole lot of nothing in
his current environment. Perhaps there's a marriage to be made
there you go to. Some of the veteran receivers talked
about him on the I Watch Flex podcast. This week. Right,
he's w R eleven right now in Carolina, Adam feelin
(10:06):
he's not a game breaker, but another guy that can
sit down and become a trusted target to where there's
not such variability in the routes that he's running and
his ability to go and fight for a football like
you have with everybody. And as de Sager pointed out earlier,
and certainly they did a lot on the broadcast, look
at the zone that Travis Kelcey finds himself in and
(10:29):
then it's the convergence wildly of the defensive backs to
try to tackle him before he gets ahead of steam.
But you know, when we're looking at trying to find
those other trade chips, most of the other teams you
mentioned Mike Evans specifically, well, they've gone better than expectations.
(10:49):
And right he seems happy. Now he's banged up right now,
he'd missed a lot of the practice week. But is
he a guy that potentially if they rattle off three
or four loss this is in a row that suddenly
becomes imminently available. Sure, but in the interim, if you're
the Chiefs, you're kicking the tires. An awful lot of
(11:09):
other secondary and tertiary guys and just praying that they
come to your offense a can pick it up and
be out jag the guys you have on your roster.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And they'll all take a trade to the chee. You
have to worry about, like going do I want to
go to the Jets to go No? I want to
go play with my homes. Yeah, I want to go there.
So there will be no shortage of guys out there.
It's just for them. It's the two guys that are
probably the most available are Judy and Devonte Adams, and
they're not going to get dealt with in division, so
there's that. You got to look to the NFC other
(11:40):
teams that can say, ah, we can move our guy
because it's just not gonna happen the other way around.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
No, it's just kind of funny, right you start talking
about guys with attitude and professionalism issues, right because all
the glowing reports this week out of Miami about what
a great teammate and the Turbo Jets that Chase Claypool
suddenly has once he gets out of the Chicago world.
Let's see looking at free agents for twenty twenty four,
(12:05):
you can go after DJ Shark's it'll be big.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
It'll be bigger than DJ Shark. It'll be bid.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I would say. I'm just saying there's there's not in
terms of guys that are you're not tied into long
term money. See.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I don't see the things though.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Whether that becomes a considerate I don't know that that's that
big a deal for the Chiefs. If they find their guy,
they'll be okay with that, because hey, I think they realize,
all right, we need a guy, and this whole turnover
of wide receivers year to year to year, all right,
maybe that's not the best thing.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So I think if they find their guy, they'd be
okay with it. It would just be hey, all right,
who's gonna lose enough games that when we get to
the end of the when we get to the trade deadline, okay,
we can we can move on from there. That's gonna
be the big question. And look in the NFC, Mike
Evans is that guy, because oh, noway the top, we're
gonna give him a new deal. But you're three to one,
(12:51):
you win again this week and you go to four.
Are you really thinking to be making a trade at
the deadline? No, you say, Hey, wait, we're not bad now,
suddenly we're not bad. Hang, honestly, how about you going
to trade the Bears for Darneil again?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Star number one receipt, number one receipt. That guy doesn't exist.
That's what I'm trying to convince you of. That. Mike
Ethans is the nice pie in the sky. You're writing
his initials into your notebook. Mike Ethans love Mike, I
love m E. Look at that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I had the sky writing for you. Mike Evans.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Don't you want to get trained to us? Now? I
thought you were saying you loved yourself, like Justin Bieber
saying about I wrote the sky for you.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That's like in the old days. Instead like how they
would try to convince a free agent, Hey, we got
the sky Rider ready to go. Yeah, yeah, it's only
one hundred bucks, right, yeah, yeah, what's he gonna make
sure he spells the guy's name right.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Just like Welcome Direction where they got in trouble for
flying that mini blimp chet high for Ryan Reynolds birthday.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Oh ax, it out about a Fresco exit swollen down.

(14:18):
Still some time to go, and it still could be
a team in the AFC. You never know what's going
to be given up here there, but someone is. They
are going to get somebody big at the deadline. There's
no way they can go into the rest of this
season and not do it. There's there's just no way.
There's no way the Chiefs can say, hey, what we
have because again, six games is a big sample size
to have, right five it's a big Okay, It's not like, well,
(14:40):
after a couple of games, the offense isn't the same,
all right, Mahomes is not the same. Everything is down
for him statwise, it's down for Kelsey statwise. The other
guys don't even rate. You know, they tried to make
Kadarius Tony happen, and you know they give the ball
six times a game, and you know he drops three passes.
So there's not a lot that can happen other than
going out to get the big star and it will
(15:00):
happen for the Chiefs. Meanwhile, we haven't been a breaking
news right now to tell you about special delivery. Steve
to Saga has something big from the NLDS. The Braves
put the first two runners on base in the top
of the ninth inning, first and third, and nobody out
(15:22):
and Josh Hater sorry Matt Stram comes in looking and
throwing very Josh Hater like the hair. The hair was
there though even even the motion is there. I'm facing
Josh Hater. How did the Braves figure out the top
of the ninth inning there? Steve from that point out.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, walk single and then pop out, flyout and then
a pinch hit a guy that we've never seen play
and he just struck out to end their season. So
the Braves, who won one hundred four games in the
regular season yet again like last year, lose the division
series to Philadelphia, which will be hosting Game one of
the NLCS Monday night against Arizona. To night's final is
(16:01):
three to one, the series three games to one. The
losing pitcher, the twenty game winner for the Brave Spencer Strider,
allowed three solo homers. You may have seen Nick Castianos
hit two out last night. He had two solo homers
tonight three one Philadelphia the final, so.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
There was They put two on to start the ninth inning.
Murphy single to write. Ozuna goes to third and then
Kevin Polar pops up. Rosario flies out to left. Grissom
strikes out swinging. Not Marquise Grissom. You think it's not
I'm not Gus Grissom. Okay, just so I'm out of
Grissoms now, I'm really out of Grissoms. Wow, you got Grissom.
I'm out of but I got two good Grissoms now.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
That's good when you get to CSI, I mean, come on,
that was the show that I could watch every week
with my dad. He lovely. You watched William Peterson see
it's I with your death.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I know how this is gonna end out. Trust me,
I know, Dad, why because I've seen that he was
a good smart ass. That's why it's and it had
Mark Helgenberger go cats. It's a formulaic show. We know
exactly how it works. Uh, this is how it goes down.
Vaughan Grissom is your batter to end the season for
the Braves'.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Reading at is. Is he not related to to Marquis.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
He's related to Gus Grissom. Actually, if you know, there's
a whole big thing they wrote him into these.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Was that in the next SEASONSI cyber seventeenth season or
eighteen season, they wrote him in for so the Braves
and all those wins, just like the Dodgers with all
those wins are out, they lose their divisional series?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
What does literally mean?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Coming up next, we break down all the drama we
had drama in the NFL game that had nothing to
do with the game itself, and Bryce Harper's headed back
to the NLCS. Keep it right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
All right, I'll bite why Karma, Chameleon? I think the
better question is why not?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Okay, Well, I mean Taylor Swift does have the song Karma. Sure, sure,
it's kind of a derivation. Sure, Okay, I'm with you,
several decades removed. I'm with you Fox Sports Radio, The
Jason Smith Show with My best Friend Mike Harmonson, what's
your take on ros?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I like churros, churros. I like churros, bunch of churros.
I think about that many times. Sure, would you say
the wars to describe your love of true?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I love you know what I love.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I love churros that have the uh because there's a
place near my house that has churros that has like
caramel inside the churro. That's fantastic. By the way, you
know what, I have a recipe to do that. We
all just have churros here tonight we are to order
batch of churros. Were all eating churros. That's why the
churro conversation.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
No, it's it's kind of a big deal.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, no, I like it.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
And then you get the sauce on the side, right,
chocolate chocolate with some cinn And then.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Now you're talking yeah, yeah, yeah, little most dangerous, A little.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Would stick and what sticking? Beer? No? No, no, no, no, no. Whiskey. Yeah,
it's a little whiskey or tequila mixed with your chocolate. Absolutely,
I'd like a chocolate churro. What and a glass of whiskey? No, no, no, no,
you take it and you put it into your chocolate.
Now you're dipping. I dip the whiskey. Wait, I put
the whiskey with the chocolate and dip the churro in
(19:28):
that damn right?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
How would I do that? Because it's great, that's.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Crazy, sounds good. It just might work.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Really chocolate. You eat chocolate, Yeah, you eat chococolate if
there's whiskey, and you would eat okay.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
But you also eat higher quality chocolate. I eat cocoa,
lot of cocoa.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, you just eat like straight cocoa powder, straight powder
before it before it gets all refined and everything and
all the extra.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
You never had a cocoa nib Jason, Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I'm just picturing like the end of a pen. No,
what do you mean a cocoa nip, like like a
little like a little Uh, we have so much little
like a little ball. But it's like a little ball, right, No,
it's not a little ball, the nip. It's like a fountain,
the end of a fountain pen.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
It's like a bean on the rest. No.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, why would I eat it when it doesn't taste
like really good chocolate? Why would I just wait until
they make a chocolate bar because it's real? How about
you turn this into a chocolate bar, then I'll eat
it or with whiskey. See here's the thing. If that
was popular, that's what they would sell right next to
the register in the liquor store. Instead they sell three
Musketeer and Reese's peanut butter chocolate nibs. They don't sell,
they don't. But they don't sell chocolate nibs.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Sure they do, they do.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, if you want to buy, I'm gonna make my
own chocolate. No, nobody does that.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
If we go to Whole Foods right now, there's a
whole section with cocoa nibs. Yeah, Gary, And no one's
bought any of it, and so many different things.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Man, let somebody else do it, and I'll buy it.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Let somebody else, I'll say it, steal it, someone else
will do it.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I didn't employ that you were stealing it.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
It was more the I don't I'm cooking, Hey I could.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
There's very few. There's a few dishes that I make fantastic,
they're not. Boy do I make I'm I'm like Homer.
When I can make the butter and wrap the pancake
around it, does.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
That butter your bacon?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Dad, My heart hurts butter. It's you probably make a
really good mac and cheese, Jason.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I do all because I've put like dice like tomatoes
and onions and stuff really cheese. Yea, it's really good,
really good.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
You don't need tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, I know, lettuce is I'm not a big lettuce fan.
No tomato. Dice them up and put them in. Peppers too,
and then maca oh yeah, really really good, real tiny.
Dice them up, put them in. That's me cayenne, pepper on,
you on garlic. Get that mac and cheese going. I'm
gonna get some brisket over the top. We pulled over
(21:46):
the top. Look it is here. Oh I'm gonna beat
Bobby Flay with this dish right here. I'm gonna go
win heads what we got right there, and with a
chew row for dessert and getting that chuo in there.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You can get a bag of your ros. Do you
just get one or do you get a super sized
old bag of churros from Kyme? Do you get one
that's the size of a baseball bat? Like Bryce Harper?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
The speaking of Bryce Harper, who is okay played the
ninth inning Phillies get out of a first and third
nobody out jam. They eliminate the Braves in four games.
And right now in the Phillies clubhouse there is a
champagne celebration and a couple of players are wearing ATA
(22:31):
Boy Harper shirts coming off of last night the Arecia
controversy from game one. I'll tell you it is awesome
that the Phillies and Braves hate each other. It is
awesome they can play this game back and forth the
ATA Boy Harper shirts. This is just outstanding. I mean,
I love te We need more rivalries like this. I
(22:53):
didn't even mind seeing Bryce Harper, who is obviously a cupper,
after seeing with no shirt on. I didn't mind watching
Rice Harper celebrate because this has been fun theater tonight.
Every pitch in this game between the Phillies and the Braves,
every single pitch the last three innings felt like every
ounce of energy that you could possibly put into it,
(23:13):
with a sense of anxiety and dread on every single
pitched ball. This was an outstanding game to watch. I'm
telling you no, it's great stuff. High drama, high stakes.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Obviously we talk about the divisional battles appropriately. In the
divisional round, with Arizona taking down the Dodgers yesterday and
people in Atlanta said, ha ha ha, and now they
well again. Nelson months references where you start crying because well,
now you're with them as the other divisional series ends.
(23:46):
And I like it. The guys with the the hoodies
up and the goggles and everything, like the little dudes
from dig Dug going back to the games of the eighties,
waiting for something bad to happen as the Champagne starts.
I'll take bad eighties games for five hundred.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
What is dig Doug? Yes, Now here's another thing that
I want to just say really quick. You also took
a shot at Cupping.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Well, I'm just saying he's an obvious cupper. I see
he's a cupper. He did have the Weltz.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
He's like, he's like, he's like copper Manning. That's how
much he's gone.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
See now you can buy those machines for yourself at home.
You don't even need to go to someone. I can
just administrate. I can just use the cups I have
at home to do it. Right here. You're gonna start.
I really thought you were gonna start doing knee hendring me.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I got my ticket to the nlcs and it does
not include the braves. But the braves were so good,
and they tell us they're so good, and they're going
home now for the season.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Brais are gone. Braise are gone on.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
The brais are so far gone on. I'm gonna miss
them by my air. I'm gonna miss them everywhere. Oh,
I'm going to miss the braids when they're gone.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Now you wanted, you asked for it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I gave it to you.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I didn't know I would ask for it. I wasn't
thinking that you do it. But you know all the
times that you get into song and and try to
get cute. Uh, that was probably the best rend. You
like stuff you've done free because no, no, no, but I
think you've been working on that one, because I'm pretty
sure you had the turbulent head now of the Phillies
(25:21):
going home because one of your nl e's teams was
leaving regardless. I mean, well, look, I knew, what did
you say, like, you're a palpitation?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
No no, no, haven so be it Jedi.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
No, I knew one of the teams is gonna lose,
so being a metsman, okay, I'm getting rid of one
of them.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
And uh oh I feel so bad that it's the Braves,
because they're so good and they tell us they're so good,
and they talk about how special they are, and how
special a group of guys they are. Oh, they get
upset when somebody says something bad about Bryce Harper, and
the Phillies have the temerity to use it as something
that's gonna that's gonna inspire them all. Well, there should
be a sacred playth Oh, yes, the Braves and all
(26:00):
they're all stars, and they're cy young winner and all
the Braves. But they're so good and bicked up, and
the Braves are going home.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Now just remember this, and this is the great rule
of thumb. There are two pieces of advice from my
youth that stay with me forever. Number one reed, Sorry,
never stand in front of the pulling guard. Okay, yes, right.
Trying to get autographs as a kid going up to
Platteville in Bear's camp and big man walking towards you.
(26:27):
He's trying to sign stuff as he's walking, which means
if you stop in front of him, you're probably getting
run over. So that's good advice. The other one was
from my dad long ago. The walls have ears in
other words. You don't want somebody to repeat what you
have to say. Make sure there's nobody in the damn room.
Avoid the clap.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Jimmy Dugan look RC is saying outa boy Harper, which
made its way back to Bryce Harper after Game two
when Harper got thrown out getting back to first base,
gets back to him. He gets two home runs last night,
stares at our ce around the basins.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
It was so good.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Now they're wearing the T shirt, So add a boy Harper.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
The Braves, it's it's the Braves are just completely full
of themselves. They are and and they won the World
Series a couple of years ago without Ronald Leacunya, which
is like, wow, how but I told you the beginning
of the playoffs. If the Braves aren't in the World Series,
there's something wrong. And the not only the Braves and
the Dodgers are both out two hundred and plus win teams.
(27:27):
And the Braves are the best team in Major League Baseball.
Eight all Stars, right, they're gonna Spencer Stryder is gonna
be a cy Young finalist and he couldn't make it
through this game. And he gets taken out after giving
up three home runs. The Braves with everything they have,
are out and all the money they are using that
they are spending on guys, giving them money before they
(27:48):
have to paying them before they they they hit free
agency before. Hey, it's a finding our way to lock
in a young player, whether it's a Kunya or Harris
or or any of these other guys or Strider. We're
giving them money way before we have to because it's
eight or nine million more we're paying now. But then
in a couple of years when these guys should be
getting twenty five and thirty million, they're still getting eight
(28:10):
or nine million. It's going to help us. They are
locked into their young core, which is which is great,
and it's worked out because so far the guys they
decided to pay have been okay. But I'll give you
a next level thought for the Braves after coming off
of this and another disappointment and building the team the
way they do, okay, Well, we still have our young
(28:30):
core locked in. Ronald Lacunya is gonna win the MVP.
He's really gonna come to camp next year saying I'm
okay playing for nine million dollars. Uh uh uh uh.
I have outperformed that contract, and we've never seen someone
with a contract hold out before. But this has got
to be a case where the Braves are gonna have
(28:50):
to make a really difficult decision because I'm if I'm
Ronald lacunya, I don't come in. I'm coming forty seventy
known in the history the game has done that. I'm
the MVP, and yeah, ten million. No, I'm sorry, but
we up to seventeen. But we gave you all that money.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Grossly gay, but we gave you all that money for
the last few years, right because it was ten years
and one hundred million was what the contract that that
Acuna signed a few years ago. You really think he's
gonna come in and pay for that, Really he's gonna
do that. Not gonna happen, Not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
No, this was the year for the Braves to win
and then figure out the money that they're paying everybody.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
The NLD is.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
This, this is this is where we win the World
Series and then whatever happens money wise, we figure out.
But now they're out in the NLDS and guess what
Acun's gonna say. Yeah, not my I almost hit a double,
I almost won the game. In the in the seventh inning.
It was a good play at the fence, but forty
seventy I've outperformed my contract. And now it's gonna be
tough because he's got a sign, he's got a guaranteed contract.
He should report. What if he doesn't do The Braves say, okay,
(29:53):
we're gonna tear up this contract and then give him
something new, and then suddenly open the door to other
players in Major League Baseball say well, if they did
it for him, my team will do it here. And
then suddenly other teams are pissed off at the Braves
because you decided to ruin something for baseball. Guaranteed contracts.
Man guaranteed contracts. Now they can get out if they
want to. This is gonna be a fascinating offseason for
the Braves, and they thought they would be doing it
(30:15):
coming off the World Series. I thought they'd be doing
it coming off winning the World Series.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
You know, look me, being Mets fan, I told you
if the Braves aren't there winning, they're the best team
in baseball. They had the top ross top to bottom.
They're the best. They should miss stars all around, and
instead of that, they're home in the including the agitator
that ticked off Harper and casting.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
On and they won one more game than the Mets
did this year, they would got one more game than
the Mets. Now they were all the problems they're gonna have,
all right, hey, but we're gonna have the World Series, right,
and it's worth it. Now it's instead it's an NLDS loss.
And now what do you do because that's absolutely gonna
happen with Acunya in the spring.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Well, he goes to for fourteen. So if we're gonna
blast Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman, let's add Ronald Lecunya
Junior too.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Okay, twice as many hits as Freddie Freeman, and it's
infinite more hits than moving.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Yeah, but still, you know, two for fourteen, there's your guy.
As they go quietly into the good night. We'll keep
an eye on all of those mechanics, because you do
have a bunch of all stars, and let's face it,
they're all gonna be looking to get paid faster and
accelerate things the way the marketplace goes. But I did
my my hit in Baltimore with my guy, and you know,
trying to talk to him and They're all like, oh,
(31:23):
we're feeling pretty good, and I'm like, I get it.
There's affiliations with the squad noll. But remember windows clothes
really fast. Go talk to Cal Ripken Jr. He got
that one. At eighty three. Played a lot of quote
unquote meaningless baseball for a good chunk of his every
day every day. He showed up every day every day. Now,
(31:46):
might they have played more meaningful baseball if he'd taken
a couple of days off. Yeah, maybe and been fresh.
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
What's next for the Braves? It was gonna be the
World Series and then issues. Now it's the NLDS and issues.
And now it's Steve Disager who has trending in the wide.
Does he have issues too?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
No, Steve is issue free, Okay because he bet the
Phillies tonight.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Oh he's very happy. No.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
If there was way dream, then that would be the issue.
The Philadelphia Phillies needed some relief work late in Game
four at home against Atlanta. Tonight.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yeah, Phillies come racing out of the knockout as Matt
Strom has saved it and the Phillies have beaten the
Braves in the Division Series for the second year in
a row.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
That's WIP Phillies Radio and yes, Matt Strom is the
guy who got the save. He got two three straight
outs with the runners at first and third in the
top of the ninth Phillies three to won the final.
The loss to Spencer Strider, the twenty game winner, allowed
three solo homers in his five and two thirds. Nick
Castianos the hero tonight last night, two solo homers. Tonight
(32:50):
two solo homers. He went three for three with a walk.
Trey Turner went four for four, including the other solo shot.
So last year, the Phillies had fourteen wins fewer than
Atlanta and beat him in the Division Series. This year,
the Phillies had fourteen wins fewer than Atlanta and again
beat him in the Division Series. Of course, the Dodgers
three straight years have lost in the postseason to teams
(33:13):
who had a greater difference than fourteen wins compared to
their regular seasons. These are five of the biggest upsets
in MLB postseason history. As we mentioned on Monday Night Show,
still the largest setch upset the nineteen oh six World Series,
when the White Sox beat the Mighty Cubs. That's how
long agoes it was. We're referring to them as the
(33:36):
Mighty comes. How dare you the White Sox back then
win twenty three wins fewer and still won the title. Well,
onto the NLCS for the Phillies, they'll be hosting Arizona
in Game one on Monday night. The ALCS starts Sunday
night on Fox TV with Texas at Houston. As for
the NFL game, this evening, another win for Kansas City.
(33:57):
They were up thirteen to nothing at the half and
beat Denvereen to eight. Harrison Butker four for four on
field goals, including hitting from fifty two yards and he
hit a sixty yarder at the end of the first half.
Kansas City's offense on red zone tds, which is won
for five and they kept piling up the points relatively
and got the win. Travis Kelcey over one hundred yards
(34:17):
receiving just in the first half. He was active despite
the ankle injury last week. Kelsey finished with nine receptions
for one hundred twenty four yards and the Chiefs have
won sixteen straight times against the Broncos. Now Browns quarterback
to Shaun Watson misspractice again with a shoulder injury. Giants
quarterback Daniel Jones missed another practice with a neck injury.
(34:38):
In college football tonight, what a finish on FS one,
Houston forty one thirty nine over West Virginia on a
hail Mary pass on the final play, tipped at the
goal line, a forty nine yard TD. Houston scored in
the first quarter on a one hundred yard kickoff return.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
A reminder.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Four games Saturday on FS one in the NHL Late game,
it is Vegas early second period, tied one one at
San Jose. Already Dallas with a shootout win two one
over Saint Louis and road victories for the Rangers and Philadelphia.
Nice night for Philly, the Phillies going to the NLCS again.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve. I appreciating my friend
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend. His name
is Mike Harmon. Boy, you want to talk about karma.
We have big time karma from the NLDS coming up
in about fifteen minutes. But straight ahead, something big out
of Thursday Night football. I think the Broncos fire sale
is going to be something. Wait'll we sit down, Russell Wilson,
(35:36):
Wait what Yeah, that's next. Fox.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Hey, I'm Doug Gottlieb. The podcast is called All Ball.
We usually talk all basketball all the time, but it's
more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.
We talked to coaches, we talked to players, We tell
you stories.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
You download it, you listen to it.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
I think you like it. Listen to All Ball with
Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon live fromtheti rack dot com studios. We'll
have the latest time the Jerry Judy controversy coming up
in about ten minutes, because old boy, was this something
coming off of Thursday night Football. But the Chiefs win
nineteen to eight and the Broncos fall to one and five,
(36:43):
and the Chiefs are five and when we talked about
the Chiefs are going to wind up doing it the
deadline a few minutes ago, and the Broncos simply are
going to continue to be who they are. The offense
was terrible tonight. This is probably Russell Wilson's worst game
of the season. It just isn't getting better. And you're
talking about a team that is looking at the deadline
already with trum of trade guys away. They've already said
they're moving on without Frank Clark, whether it's going to
(37:03):
be a trade or release. Jerry Judy is someone they
are fielding calls on right now. They have him out
there and well, I don't know what you want after tonight,
but are.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
They the ones initiating all these calls we're calling about
Jerry Jit?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Click?
Speaker 5 (37:16):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Would you be interested? I mean you might need to
receive it.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
It's like in the Simpsons when Homer's saying, now, we
just need an NFL team to roll up to our
city and we're in business. I'm with the Arizona Cardinals.
Keep moving, keep moving. But I'll tell you, I'll tell
you what is it next for the Broncos. They're gonna
sell all their players at the deadline. Who sell who
they can and get picks because Sean Payton is going
to the only way and keep his head above water
(37:40):
and not be someone that they're looking at. As part
of the problem is to say, hey, this is a
bigger job than I thought, which is kind of what
he's been intimating all along. Sure, it's a bigger job
than I thought. We need to start over.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
It's a good job. Look, it's a good job of branding.
He's not an idiot. Now, he's not the smartest guy
in the room that he tried to proclaim he was,
and that other people in our business tried to prop
him up, as we've certainly seen that. But he's smart
enough to couch any messages of a quick rebuild and return.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
To glory, and he knows the best thing to do
is to say that because this year's a freebie, the
next year we're starting over. Then the year after that,
Sean Payton will be on the clock. Right, so he's bought.
He'll buy himself time. Hey, it's a teardown, it's X,
Y and Z. We gotta move on. And I got
news for you. I would say that by Thanksgiving the
(38:30):
Broncos will have a new starting quarterback. Not because Russell
Wilson is absolutely terrible. He was bad tonight, but again,
receivers aren't getting separation. There's nobody that's open it, So
I think he's missing wide open wide receivers. He I
mean that's a Mark Sanchez game. I mean, I mean
that's a Mark Sanchez Thursday Night game. But the Broncos
are gonna owe him thirty seven million dollars thirty seven
(38:53):
shut up guaranteed just by injury next season. Now, they're
gonna need some time to work on the money, because
you need some time to do that with Russell Wilson.
They're not gonna want him injured because then his salary
is guaranteed for injury, and who knows what happens after that.
They will sit him to make sure he's not hurt.
So in the off season they can Redoce some money.
(39:14):
He will Redoce some money, and he will get traded
to his next destination. Somebody will be in the Russell
Wilson business as long as doesn't play completely awful this year.
And while tonight was bad, so far, the season hasn't
been that that bad.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Look.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Guy's got eleven touchdowns. He's not like he's not moving.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
He's one to six QBR that everybody wants to through
out there. Quarterback rating QBR is gonna be lower, but
you get my point.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
He's somebody that will have attention and as long as
he is upright, they need to be able to make
that move, so they will sit him. And he's got
just a few weeks left to be the starting quarterback
for the Broncos before he winds up not playing, whether
it's either some kind of crazy injury designation or not.
But he's gonna sit out because they're gonna have to,
(39:57):
because they're gonna move on from in the offseason, and
you can trade him because money can always be worked out.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Yeah, it's the curiosity coming in and tonight he was
at sixty seven percent completion rate while it wasn't pretty,
and you had some glorious comebacks. Go back to that
game against the Bears. It's it's been uneven, but your
your wide receivers get no separation.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Russell Wilson just a few games left to start
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Coming up next in them, you know, Jerry Judy versus
Steve Smith, Fox

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Let's give this part. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, Oakland Side, Hour two of the Jason Smith Show
with my bas friend Mike Harmon. Sue live from the
tirag dot Com studios tiraq dot com. We'll help you
get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers tirack dot com.
The way tire buying should be right now, bottom of
(00:52):
the eighth inning, two on one out and make it
going to the top of the ninth inning. Iglesias gets
out of the bottom of the He's thinning with a
runner at first, So now the Phillies are two outs
away from making it to the NLCS. I can't tell,
but it does not look like Bryce Harper will be
coming out for the ninth inning to play first base.
(01:13):
He is in the dugout, putting his hat on, he
was putting his ball cap, he was putting his cap on.
What LaRusso, headman, I really like your car, missus Laruso.
So it could be defensive purposes. It could be the
injury to his arm. But the good news is he
is in the dugout. So the injury that he suffered
(01:34):
at the end of the eighth inning, same arm, same
elbow to Tommy John surgery when Olsen ran by and
bumped into his arm at first base. Again, not a
dirty play, just to play. That happened and Harper had
his arm out when he should have had it down
at his side. It's just one of those things that happened.
But good news is it looks like Harper is okay,
because if he needed to be examined, you assume he
would be out of the dugout. But Bryce Harper is
(01:55):
a tough dude. He might decide you look at me
after the game. I'm in the dugout with everybody till
the game is over. So right now, what I'm saying
is we don't know, but at least the fact that
he is there in the dugout maybe you can say
things are okay and he's moving, and maybe that's just
precautionary that he's out of there.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Trying to find our positivity. As it were. He had
left the field going back into the tunnel, so he's
at least back in whatever the preliminary tests were, or
if he needed maybe maybe a little numbing. It got
him right, But we look at the I wanted to
get a picture with We've got four monitors here in
(02:32):
our studio for the you know, pullback a curtain for
a minute, and we had the converge, right because you
have Harper leaves with an injury, and we were a
little bit sad because you know, we love our superstars, right,
we want our big time players, particularly as some of
these star Layden teams go to the wayside as the
(02:53):
playoffs continue. So Bryce Harper among the biggest and including
those two home runs and the greatest stare down ever.
I'm still waiting for the trading card to be relea
so I could buy it and then have him sign it.
But you have that, you have this train wreck that
is the Kansas City Chiefs Denver Broncos game now nineteen
to eight Broncos scored after a terrible roughing the passer penalty.
(03:18):
They must have decided to defender got just enough body
weight on Russell Wilson to call it a little bit
maybe maybe a little bit. The key was the other
monitor had changed into a crying Golden Bachelor. So I
don't know because he was he was facing the other
two monitors, so I don't know if in that moment
he could see what we were seeing, so he was
(03:39):
crying or what.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, we're having TV difficulties here right now in the studios.
What Harmon's trying to say, Harper is in fact going
out on the life. There he is, He's going out
to first base. He will be playing the ninth inning.
So looks like Bryce Harper is okay, Yeah, he was just.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Crying like all of America, the Golden Bachelor will Yeah,
the Golden Bachelor is crying.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
And then there try they're watching Friday the thirteenth movies,
and we have a lot of teas, a lot going on.
There's a lot as long as I say, hey, leave.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
The football in the baseball game on it, Yeah, don't
change those TVs. Yes, so we'll have more.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
On the Braves and the Phillies coming up in a
few minutes. Again, we're getting in the top of the
ninth inning. The Phillies are three outs away from the NLCS. Meanwhile,
less than two minutes left to go, as Mike Harmon said,
Harrison Bucker's fourth field goal of the night. Again, if
you played Patrick Mahomes in fantasy like I did, I'm
sorry for you.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So it is a nineteen to eight lead that the
Chiefs have. The Broncos have the ball again, it's a
two or game, and it's been an awful night offensively
for Denver.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
It's been really, really bad. And we'll get to more
on the Broncos coming up in a few minutes. But
look at the Chiefs, okay, because this is something that's
gonna happen, Because this is not even though they're gonna
win tonight and they're gonna go on and they're gonna
have one loss and they're gonna be five and one,
it's gonna be Look at the Chiefs or wherever we
thought they were. They're the champs, they're not quite the Chiefs.
(05:08):
They're struggling a little bit too much with teams they
should be beating much more handily. Now the Chiefs have
had this happen before. I don't know if it's the
Chiefs get bored or hey, look we beat teams. We
put up points for a while with Patrick Mahomes, and
now we get to point where okay, we're playing this game.
We're winning. But so far this year, the Chiefs offense
(05:29):
has not been what it should be. It is not
fired on all cylinders, proving that you can't just replace
wide receivers with different wide receivers every year and expect
the same result. The Chiefs have been playing well. The
Chiefs are really really talented, right we we know this. Look,
they're the defending champs two Super Bowls the last three
years for a reason. But they just don't look like
(05:49):
the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
They just don't look like that indomitable, intimidating.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Team that we normally get. Boy, we got the Chiefs
this week. They're gonna score fifty. Honest, Mahomes gonna be
flipping the ball behind his back. That's not who they are.
Their running game has been hit and miss. Sometimes that
j Isaia Pacheco looks good. Sometimes he doesn't. But the
Chiefs just are not the same right now. And it's
good that Travis Kelcey finally had a good night with
Taylor Swift in attendance again because that poor tends well
(06:18):
for them, because Kelsey had not had a great year
up until this point. But seeing the Chiefs not quite
being who they are okay for most of the league, Hey,
that's great. The Chiefs are gettible. Yeah, they're gonna be
gettable for a couple more weeks because I guarantee you
what's gonna happen is the Chiefs are gonna go get
a wide receiver at the deadline, and they're gonna get
(06:39):
a big wide receiver. They're not gonna get Jerry Judy
because Judy, even though he's on the trading block, is
not gonna be dealt within the division. But there's gonna
be other guys out there from teams that are gonna say,
we're starting over, we're paying a wide receiver. Wide receivers
usually positioned, we can get big. There's gonna be guys
out there now. Beginning of the season, he would have thought, well,
(06:59):
Mike Evans is gonna be there because he's unhappy. But
the Bucks are three and one, so they're not gonna
sit tight. DeVonta Adams might want out, but again, division,
they're not gonna go there. But the Chiefs are gonna
get somebody big because they have to, because this is
not a Chiefs team playing right now with what they
have that can compete with the best teams in the NFL.
They can't compete with the forty nine ers the way
(07:19):
this team is, they can't. They just can't do it.
They probably can't score with the Dolphins like they're going
to have to do. They're gonna need something and they're
gonna get a big receiver at the deadline. It's gonna
be somebody big coming in and it's gonna be look
the blank out for the Chiefs now and it's gonna
suddenly take their offense to another level because that's really
what they need. Travis Kelcey's been missing a lot of
yak over the course of this season, and that's the
(07:40):
one thing's beginning the catches, but he's just not been
the hey game breaker chunk yardage that Kelsey was expected
to be. Tonight was a different story, but again Broncos
still though nineteen points for the Chiefs tonight, they didn't
they haven't been doing what the Chiefs normally do on offense.
And after seeing this now with a pretty big sample,
sop have seen them get through six weeks. All right, now, uh,
(08:04):
it's time to understand. You got to spend the next
three weeks working on something, working on a big deal
to go get a wide receiver and a legitimate number
one wide receiver. Sometimes you can get by, right, you
got by last year at you just Smith Schuster and
a couple of guys that now it's okay, we're gonna
rev ramp that. We like sky Moore, we like Justin Watson,
we like Canarius Tony. All these guys are just jags
(08:25):
and there's nobody that you have to worry about. And
you can you can clamp down on kells a little bit,
maybe you bracken them a little bit more. But the
Chiefs are gonna have to go get a wide receiver,
and they will and it's gonna completely change the offense.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Just like the end.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
People go great, now the Chiefs have got it back again.
But trust me, they're gonna do it. They'll do it
a deadline. It'll be somebody big.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I mean, it's a good thing that you're not working sidelines.
You just called a lot of receivers, Jaggs, Jack Well,
you guys are Jacks app Steve Smith, I'm ready for
your podcast. Oh come on, they're all jags. They're all jags.
I got no qualm saying it.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
The most curious est guy for me is in Arizona now.
Cede Lamb changed his Twitter banner yesterday to an old
picture of him with Hollywood Brown. Hollywood Brown's a guy
that I see as a pretty nice chip on the
marketplace right Arizona scrappy, gutsy, whatever term you want to
(09:22):
and they'll steal a couple of games. Although with James
Connor going down that doesn't bode well for things. But
Hollywood Brown is a guy that should be gettable. We've
talked a little bit in some rumors. Maybe you have
happy reunions with guys that had been there before. Not
that I see the Jets necessarily sending your guy Nicole
(09:44):
Hardman back, but it's a name that's been bandied about.
Juju Smith. Schuster's doing a whole lot of nothing in
his current environment. Perhaps there's a marriage to be made
there you go to. Some of the veteran receivers talked
about him on the I Watch Flex podcast. This week. Right,
he's w R eleven right now in Carolina, Adam feelin
(10:06):
he's not a game breaker, but another guy that can
sit down and become a trusted target to where there's
not such variability in the routes that he's running and
his ability to go and fight for a football like
you have with everybody. And as de Sager pointed out earlier,
and certainly they did a lot on the broadcast, look
at the zone that Travis Kelcey finds himself in and
(10:29):
then it's the convergence wildly of the defensive backs to
try to tackle him before he gets ahead of steam.
But you know, when we're looking at trying to find
those other trade chips, most of the other teams you
mentioned Mike Evans specifically, well, they've gone better than expectations.
(10:49):
And right he seems happy. Now he's banged up right now,
he'd missed a lot of the practice week. But is
he a guy that potentially if they rattle off three
or four loss this is in a row that suddenly
becomes imminently available. Sure, but in the interim, if you're
the Chiefs, you're kicking the tires. An awful lot of
(11:09):
other secondary and tertiary guys and just praying that they
come to your offense a can pick it up and
be out jag the guys you have on your roster.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And they'll all take a trade to the chee. You
have to worry about, like going do I want to
go to the Jets to go No? I want to
go play with my homes. Yeah, I want to go there.
So there will be no shortage of guys out there.
It's just for them. It's the two guys that are
probably the most available are Judy and Devonte Adams, and
they're not going to get dealt with in division, so
there's that. You got to look to the NFC other
(11:40):
teams that can say, ah, we can move our guy
because it's just not gonna happen the other way around.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
No, it's just kind of funny, right you start talking
about guys with attitude and professionalism issues, right because all
the glowing reports this week out of Miami about what
a great teammate and the Turbo Jets that Chase Claypool
suddenly has once he gets out of the Chicago world.
Let's see looking at free agents for twenty twenty four,
(12:05):
you can go after DJ Shark's it'll be big.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
It'll be bigger than DJ Shark. It'll be bid.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I would say. I'm just saying there's there's not in
terms of guys that are you're not tied into long
term money. See.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I don't see the things though.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Whether that becomes a considerate I don't know that that's that
big a deal for the Chiefs. If they find their guy,
they'll be okay with that, because hey, I think they realize,
all right, we need a guy, and this whole turnover
of wide receivers year to year to year, all right,
maybe that's not the best thing.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So I think if they find their guy, they'd be
okay with it. It would just be hey, all right,
who's gonna lose enough games that when we get to
the end of the when we get to the trade deadline, okay,
we can we can move on from there. That's gonna
be the big question. And look in the NFC, Mike
Evans is that guy, because oh, noway the top, we're
gonna give him a new deal. But you're three to one,
(12:51):
you win again this week and you go to four.
Are you really thinking to be making a trade at
the deadline? No, you say, Hey, wait, we're not bad now,
suddenly we're not bad. Hang, honestly, how about you going
to trade the Bears for Darneil again?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Star number one receipt, number one receipt. That guy doesn't exist.
That's what I'm trying to convince you of. That. Mike
Ethans is the nice pie in the sky. You're writing
his initials into your notebook. Mike Ethans love Mike, I
love m E. Look at that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I had the sky writing for you. Mike Evans.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Don't you want to get trained to us? Now? I
thought you were saying you loved yourself, like Justin Bieber
saying about I wrote the sky for you.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That's like in the old days. Instead like how they
would try to convince a free agent, Hey, we got
the sky Rider ready to go. Yeah, yeah, it's only
one hundred bucks, right, yeah, yeah, what's he gonna make
sure he spells the guy's name right.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Just like Welcome Direction where they got in trouble for
flying that mini blimp chet high for Ryan Reynolds birthday.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Oh ax, it out about a Fresco exit swollen down.

(14:18):
Still some time to go, and it still could be
a team in the AFC. You never know what's going
to be given up here there, but someone is. They
are going to get somebody big at the deadline. There's
no way they can go into the rest of this
season and not do it. There's there's just no way.
There's no way the Chiefs can say, hey, what we
have because again, six games is a big sample size
to have, right five it's a big Okay, It's not like, well,
(14:40):
after a couple of games, the offense isn't the same,
all right, Mahomes is not the same. Everything is down
for him statwise, it's down for Kelsey statwise. The other
guys don't even rate. You know, they tried to make
Kadarius Tony happen, and you know they give the ball
six times a game, and you know he drops three passes.
So there's not a lot that can happen other than
going out to get the big star and it will
(15:00):
happen for the Chiefs. Meanwhile, we haven't been a breaking
news right now to tell you about special delivery. Steve
to Saga has something big from the NLDS. The Braves
put the first two runners on base in the top
of the ninth inning, first and third, and nobody out
(15:22):
and Josh Hater sorry Matt Stram comes in looking and
throwing very Josh Hater like the hair. The hair was
there though even even the motion is there. I'm facing
Josh Hater. How did the Braves figure out the top
of the ninth inning there? Steve from that point out.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, walk single and then pop out, flyout and then
a pinch hit a guy that we've never seen play
and he just struck out to end their season. So
the Braves, who won one hundred four games in the
regular season yet again like last year, lose the division
series to Philadelphia, which will be hosting Game one of
the NLCS Monday night against Arizona. To night's final is
(16:01):
three to one, the series three games to one. The
losing pitcher, the twenty game winner for the Brave Spencer Strider,
allowed three solo homers. You may have seen Nick Castianos
hit two out last night. He had two solo homers
tonight three one Philadelphia the final, so.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
There was They put two on to start the ninth inning.
Murphy single to write. Ozuna goes to third and then
Kevin Polar pops up. Rosario flies out to left. Grissom
strikes out swinging. Not Marquise Grissom. You think it's not
I'm not Gus Grissom. Okay, just so I'm out of
Grissoms now, I'm really out of Grissoms. Wow, you got Grissom.
I'm out of but I got two good Grissoms now.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
That's good when you get to CSI, I mean, come on,
that was the show that I could watch every week
with my dad. He lovely. You watched William Peterson see
it's I with your death.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I know how this is gonna end out. Trust me,
I know, Dad, why because I've seen that he was
a good smart ass. That's why it's and it had
Mark Helgenberger go cats. It's a formulaic show. We know
exactly how it works. Uh, this is how it goes down.
Vaughan Grissom is your batter to end the season for
the Braves'.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Reading at is. Is he not related to to Marquis.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
He's related to Gus Grissom. Actually, if you know, there's
a whole big thing they wrote him into these.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Was that in the next SEASONSI cyber seventeenth season or
eighteen season, they wrote him in for so the Braves
and all those wins, just like the Dodgers with all
those wins are out, they lose their divisional series?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
What does literally mean?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Coming up next, we break down all the drama we
had drama in the NFL game that had nothing to
do with the game itself, and Bryce Harper's headed back
to the NLCS. Keep it right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
All right, I'll bite why Karma, Chameleon? I think the
better question is why not?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Okay, Well, I mean Taylor Swift does have the song Karma. Sure, sure,
it's kind of a derivation. Sure, Okay, I'm with you,
several decades removed. I'm with you Fox Sports Radio, The
Jason Smith Show with My best Friend Mike Harmonson, what's
your take on ros?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I like churros, churros. I like churros, bunch of churros.
I think about that many times. Sure, would you say
the wars to describe your love of true?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I love you know what I love.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I love churros that have the uh because there's a
place near my house that has churros that has like
caramel inside the churro. That's fantastic. By the way, you
know what, I have a recipe to do that. We
all just have churros here tonight we are to order
batch of churros. Were all eating churros. That's why the
churro conversation.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
No, it's it's kind of a big deal.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, no, I like it.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
And then you get the sauce on the side, right,
chocolate chocolate with some cinn And then.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Now you're talking yeah, yeah, yeah, little most dangerous, A little.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Would stick and what sticking? Beer? No? No, no, no, no, no. Whiskey. Yeah,
it's a little whiskey or tequila mixed with your chocolate. Absolutely,
I'd like a chocolate churro. What and a glass of whiskey? No, no, no, no,
you take it and you put it into your chocolate.
Now you're dipping. I dip the whiskey. Wait, I put
the whiskey with the chocolate and dip the churro in
(19:28):
that damn right?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
How would I do that? Because it's great, that's.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Crazy, sounds good. It just might work.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Really chocolate. You eat chocolate, Yeah, you eat chococolate if
there's whiskey, and you would eat okay.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
But you also eat higher quality chocolate. I eat cocoa,
lot of cocoa.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, you just eat like straight cocoa powder, straight powder
before it before it gets all refined and everything and
all the extra.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
You never had a cocoa nib Jason, Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I'm just picturing like the end of a pen. No,
what do you mean a cocoa nip, like like a
little like a little Uh, we have so much little
like a little ball. But it's like a little ball, right, No,
it's not a little ball, the nip. It's like a fountain,
the end of a fountain pen.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
It's like a bean on the rest. No.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, why would I eat it when it doesn't taste
like really good chocolate? Why would I just wait until
they make a chocolate bar because it's real? How about
you turn this into a chocolate bar, then I'll eat
it or with whiskey. See here's the thing. If that
was popular, that's what they would sell right next to
the register in the liquor store. Instead they sell three
Musketeer and Reese's peanut butter chocolate nibs. They don't sell,
they don't. But they don't sell chocolate nibs.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Sure they do, they do.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, if you want to buy, I'm gonna make my
own chocolate. No, nobody does that.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
If we go to Whole Foods right now, there's a
whole section with cocoa nibs. Yeah, Gary, And no one's
bought any of it, and so many different things.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Man, let somebody else do it, and I'll buy it.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Let somebody else, I'll say it, steal it, someone else
will do it.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I didn't employ that you were stealing it.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
It was more the I don't I'm cooking, Hey I could.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
There's very few. There's a few dishes that I make fantastic,
they're not. Boy do I make I'm I'm like Homer.
When I can make the butter and wrap the pancake
around it, does.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
That butter your bacon?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Dad, My heart hurts butter. It's you probably make a
really good mac and cheese, Jason.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I do all because I've put like dice like tomatoes
and onions and stuff really cheese. Yea, it's really good,
really good.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
You don't need tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, I know, lettuce is I'm not a big lettuce fan.
No tomato. Dice them up and put them in. Peppers too,
and then maca oh yeah, really really good, real tiny.
Dice them up, put them in. That's me cayenne, pepper on,
you on garlic. Get that mac and cheese going. I'm
gonna get some brisket over the top. We pulled over
(21:46):
the top. Look it is here. Oh I'm gonna beat
Bobby Flay with this dish right here. I'm gonna go
win heads what we got right there, and with a
chew row for dessert and getting that chuo in there.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You can get a bag of your ros. Do you
just get one or do you get a super sized
old bag of churros from Kyme? Do you get one
that's the size of a baseball bat? Like Bryce Harper?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
The speaking of Bryce Harper, who is okay played the
ninth inning Phillies get out of a first and third
nobody out jam. They eliminate the Braves in four games.
And right now in the Phillies clubhouse there is a
champagne celebration and a couple of players are wearing ATA
(22:31):
Boy Harper shirts coming off of last night the Arecia
controversy from game one. I'll tell you it is awesome
that the Phillies and Braves hate each other. It is
awesome they can play this game back and forth the
ATA Boy Harper shirts. This is just outstanding. I mean,
I love te We need more rivalries like this. I
(22:53):
didn't even mind seeing Bryce Harper, who is obviously a cupper,
after seeing with no shirt on. I didn't mind watching
Rice Harper celebrate because this has been fun theater tonight.
Every pitch in this game between the Phillies and the Braves,
every single pitch the last three innings felt like every
ounce of energy that you could possibly put into it,
(23:13):
with a sense of anxiety and dread on every single
pitched ball. This was an outstanding game to watch. I'm
telling you no, it's great stuff. High drama, high stakes.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Obviously we talk about the divisional battles appropriately. In the
divisional round, with Arizona taking down the Dodgers yesterday and
people in Atlanta said, ha ha ha, and now they
well again. Nelson months references where you start crying because well,
now you're with them as the other divisional series ends.
(23:46):
And I like it. The guys with the the hoodies
up and the goggles and everything, like the little dudes
from dig Dug going back to the games of the eighties,
waiting for something bad to happen as the Champagne starts.
I'll take bad eighties games for five hundred.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
What is dig Doug? Yes, Now here's another thing that
I want to just say really quick. You also took
a shot at Cupping.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Well, I'm just saying he's an obvious cupper. I see
he's a cupper. He did have the Weltz.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
He's like, he's like, he's like copper Manning. That's how
much he's gone.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
See now you can buy those machines for yourself at home.
You don't even need to go to someone. I can
just administrate. I can just use the cups I have
at home to do it. Right here. You're gonna start.
I really thought you were gonna start doing knee hendring me.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I got my ticket to the nlcs and it does
not include the braves. But the braves were so good,
and they tell us they're so good, and they're going
home now for the season.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Brais are gone. Braise are gone on.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
The brais are so far gone on. I'm gonna miss
them by my air. I'm gonna miss them everywhere. Oh,
I'm going to miss the braids when they're gone.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Now you wanted, you asked for it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I gave it to you.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I didn't know I would ask for it. I wasn't
thinking that you do it. But you know all the
times that you get into song and and try to
get cute. Uh, that was probably the best rend. You
like stuff you've done free because no, no, no, but I
think you've been working on that one, because I'm pretty
sure you had the turbulent head now of the Phillies
(25:21):
going home because one of your nl e's teams was
leaving regardless. I mean, well, look, I knew, what did
you say, like, you're a palpitation?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
No no, no, haven so be it Jedi.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
No, I knew one of the teams is gonna lose,
so being a metsman, okay, I'm getting rid of one
of them.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
And uh oh I feel so bad that it's the Braves,
because they're so good and they tell us they're so good,
and they talk about how special they are, and how
special a group of guys they are. Oh, they get
upset when somebody says something bad about Bryce Harper, and
the Phillies have the temerity to use it as something
that's gonna that's gonna inspire them all. Well, there should
be a sacred playth Oh, yes, the Braves and all
(26:00):
they're all stars, and they're cy young winner and all
the Braves. But they're so good and bicked up, and
the Braves are going home.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Now just remember this, and this is the great rule
of thumb. There are two pieces of advice from my
youth that stay with me forever. Number one reed, Sorry,
never stand in front of the pulling guard. Okay, yes, right.
Trying to get autographs as a kid going up to
Platteville in Bear's camp and big man walking towards you.
(26:27):
He's trying to sign stuff as he's walking, which means
if you stop in front of him, you're probably getting
run over. So that's good advice. The other one was
from my dad long ago. The walls have ears in
other words. You don't want somebody to repeat what you
have to say. Make sure there's nobody in the damn room.
Avoid the clap.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Jimmy Dugan look RC is saying outa boy Harper, which
made its way back to Bryce Harper after Game two
when Harper got thrown out getting back to first base,
gets back to him. He gets two home runs last night,
stares at our ce around the basins.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
It was so good.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Now they're wearing the T shirt, So add a boy Harper.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
The Braves, it's it's the Braves are just completely full
of themselves. They are and and they won the World
Series a couple of years ago without Ronald Leacunya, which
is like, wow, how but I told you the beginning
of the playoffs. If the Braves aren't in the World Series,
there's something wrong. And the not only the Braves and
the Dodgers are both out two hundred and plus win teams.
(27:27):
And the Braves are the best team in Major League Baseball.
Eight all Stars, right, they're gonna Spencer Stryder is gonna
be a cy Young finalist and he couldn't make it
through this game. And he gets taken out after giving
up three home runs. The Braves with everything they have,
are out and all the money they are using that
they are spending on guys, giving them money before they
(27:48):
have to paying them before they they they hit free
agency before. Hey, it's a finding our way to lock
in a young player, whether it's a Kunya or Harris
or or any of these other guys or Strider. We're
giving them money way before we have to because it's
eight or nine million more we're paying now. But then
in a couple of years when these guys should be
getting twenty five and thirty million, they're still getting eight
(28:10):
or nine million. It's going to help us. They are
locked into their young core, which is which is great,
and it's worked out because so far the guys they
decided to pay have been okay. But I'll give you
a next level thought for the Braves after coming off
of this and another disappointment and building the team the
way they do, okay, Well, we still have our young
(28:30):
core locked in. Ronald Lacunya is gonna win the MVP.
He's really gonna come to camp next year saying I'm
okay playing for nine million dollars. Uh uh uh uh.
I have outperformed that contract, and we've never seen someone
with a contract hold out before. But this has got
to be a case where the Braves are gonna have
(28:50):
to make a really difficult decision because I'm if I'm
Ronald lacunya, I don't come in. I'm coming forty seventy
known in the history the game has done that. I'm
the MVP, and yeah, ten million. No, I'm sorry, but
we up to seventeen. But we gave you all that money.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Grossly gay, but we gave you all that money for
the last few years, right because it was ten years
and one hundred million was what the contract that that
Acuna signed a few years ago. You really think he's
gonna come in and pay for that, Really he's gonna
do that. Not gonna happen, Not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
No, this was the year for the Braves to win
and then figure out the money that they're paying everybody.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
The NLD is.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
This, this is this is where we win the World
Series and then whatever happens money wise, we figure out.
But now they're out in the NLDS and guess what
Acun's gonna say. Yeah, not my I almost hit a double,
I almost won the game. In the in the seventh inning.
It was a good play at the fence, but forty
seventy I've outperformed my contract. And now it's gonna be
tough because he's got a sign, he's got a guaranteed contract.
He should report. What if he doesn't do The Braves say, okay,
(29:53):
we're gonna tear up this contract and then give him
something new, and then suddenly open the door to other
players in Major League Baseball say well, if they did
it for him, my team will do it here. And
then suddenly other teams are pissed off at the Braves
because you decided to ruin something for baseball. Guaranteed contracts.
Man guaranteed contracts. Now they can get out if they
want to. This is gonna be a fascinating offseason for
the Braves, and they thought they would be doing it
(30:15):
coming off the World Series. I thought they'd be doing
it coming off winning the World Series.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
You know, look me, being Mets fan, I told you
if the Braves aren't there winning, they're the best team
in baseball. They had the top ross top to bottom.
They're the best. They should miss stars all around, and
instead of that, they're home in the including the agitator
that ticked off Harper and casting.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
On and they won one more game than the Mets
did this year, they would got one more game than
the Mets. Now they were all the problems they're gonna have,
all right, hey, but we're gonna have the World Series, right,
and it's worth it. Now it's instead it's an NLDS loss.
And now what do you do because that's absolutely gonna
happen with Acunya in the spring.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Well, he goes to for fourteen. So if we're gonna
blast Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman, let's add Ronald Lecunya
Junior too.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Okay, twice as many hits as Freddie Freeman, and it's
infinite more hits than moving.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Yeah, but still, you know, two for fourteen, there's your guy.
As they go quietly into the good night. We'll keep
an eye on all of those mechanics, because you do
have a bunch of all stars, and let's face it,
they're all gonna be looking to get paid faster and
accelerate things the way the marketplace goes. But I did
my my hit in Baltimore with my guy, and you know,
trying to talk to him and They're all like, oh,
(31:23):
we're feeling pretty good, and I'm like, I get it.
There's affiliations with the squad noll. But remember windows clothes
really fast. Go talk to Cal Ripken Jr. He got
that one. At eighty three. Played a lot of quote
unquote meaningless baseball for a good chunk of his every
day every day. He showed up every day every day. Now,
(31:46):
might they have played more meaningful baseball if he'd taken
a couple of days off. Yeah, maybe and been fresh.
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
What's next for the Braves? It was gonna be the
World Series and then issues. Now it's the NLDS and issues.
And now it's Steve Disager who has trending in the wide.
Does he have issues too?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
No, Steve is issue free, Okay because he bet the
Phillies tonight.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Oh he's very happy. No.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
If there was way dream, then that would be the issue.
The Philadelphia Phillies needed some relief work late in Game
four at home against Atlanta. Tonight.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yeah, Phillies come racing out of the knockout as Matt
Strom has saved it and the Phillies have beaten the
Braves in the Division Series for the second year in
a row.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
That's WIP Phillies Radio and yes, Matt Strom is the
guy who got the save. He got two three straight
outs with the runners at first and third in the
top of the ninth Phillies three to won the final.
The loss to Spencer Strider, the twenty game winner, allowed
three solo homers in his five and two thirds. Nick
Castianos the hero tonight last night, two solo homers. Tonight
(32:50):
two solo homers. He went three for three with a walk.
Trey Turner went four for four, including the other solo shot.
So last year, the Phillies had fourteen wins fewer than
Atlanta and beat him in the Division Series. This year,
the Phillies had fourteen wins fewer than Atlanta and again
beat him in the Division Series. Of course, the Dodgers
three straight years have lost in the postseason to teams
(33:13):
who had a greater difference than fourteen wins compared to
their regular seasons. These are five of the biggest upsets
in MLB postseason history. As we mentioned on Monday Night Show,
still the largest setch upset the nineteen oh six World Series,
when the White Sox beat the Mighty Cubs. That's how
long agoes it was. We're referring to them as the
(33:36):
Mighty comes. How dare you the White Sox back then
win twenty three wins fewer and still won the title. Well,
onto the NLCS for the Phillies, they'll be hosting Arizona
in Game one on Monday night. The ALCS starts Sunday
night on Fox TV with Texas at Houston. As for
the NFL game, this evening, another win for Kansas City.
(33:57):
They were up thirteen to nothing at the half and
beat Denvereen to eight. Harrison Butker four for four on
field goals, including hitting from fifty two yards and he
hit a sixty yarder at the end of the first half.
Kansas City's offense on red zone tds, which is won
for five and they kept piling up the points relatively
and got the win. Travis Kelcey over one hundred yards
(34:17):
receiving just in the first half. He was active despite
the ankle injury last week. Kelsey finished with nine receptions
for one hundred twenty four yards and the Chiefs have
won sixteen straight times against the Broncos. Now Browns quarterback
to Shaun Watson misspractice again with a shoulder injury. Giants
quarterback Daniel Jones missed another practice with a neck injury.
(34:38):
In college football tonight, what a finish on FS one,
Houston forty one thirty nine over West Virginia on a
hail Mary pass on the final play, tipped at the
goal line, a forty nine yard TD. Houston scored in
the first quarter on a one hundred yard kickoff return.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
A reminder.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Four games Saturday on FS one in the NHL Late game,
it is Vegas early second period, tied one one at
San Jose. Already Dallas with a shootout win two one
over Saint Louis and road victories for the Rangers and Philadelphia.
Nice night for Philly, the Phillies going to the NLCS again.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve. I appreciating my friend
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend. His name
is Mike Harmon. Boy, you want to talk about karma.
We have big time karma from the NLDS coming up
in about fifteen minutes. But straight ahead, something big out
of Thursday Night football. I think the Broncos fire sale
is going to be something. Wait'll we sit down, Russell Wilson,
(35:36):
Wait what Yeah, that's next. Fox.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon live fromtheti rack dot com studios. We'll
have the latest time the Jerry Judy controversy coming up
in about ten minutes, because old boy, was this something
coming off of Thursday night Football. But the Chiefs win
nineteen to eight and the Broncos fall to one and five,
(36:43):
and the Chiefs are five and when we talked about
the Chiefs are going to wind up doing it the
deadline a few minutes ago, and the Broncos simply are
going to continue to be who they are. The offense
was terrible tonight. This is probably Russell Wilson's worst game
of the season. It just isn't getting better. And you're
talking about a team that is looking at the deadline
already with trum of trade guys away. They've already said
they're moving on without Frank Clark, whether it's going to
(37:03):
be a trade or release. Jerry Judy is someone they
are fielding calls on right now. They have him out
there and well, I don't know what you want after tonight,
but are.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
They the ones initiating all these calls we're calling about
Jerry Jit?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Click?
Speaker 5 (37:16):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Would you be interested? I mean you might need to
receive it.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
It's like in the Simpsons when Homer's saying, now, we
just need an NFL team to roll up to our
city and we're in business. I'm with the Arizona Cardinals.
Keep moving, keep moving. But I'll tell you, I'll tell
you what is it next for the Broncos. They're gonna
sell all their players at the deadline. Who sell who
they can and get picks because Sean Payton is going
to the only way and keep his head above water
(37:40):
and not be someone that they're looking at. As part
of the problem is to say, hey, this is a
bigger job than I thought, which is kind of what
he's been intimating all along. Sure, it's a bigger job
than I thought. We need to start over.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
It's a good job. Look, it's a good job of branding.
He's not an idiot. Now, he's not the smartest guy
in the room that he tried to proclaim he was,
and that other people in our business tried to prop
him up, as we've certainly seen that. But he's smart
enough to couch any messages of a quick rebuild and return.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
To glory, and he knows the best thing to do
is to say that because this year's a freebie, the
next year we're starting over. Then the year after that,
Sean Payton will be on the clock. Right, so he's bought.
He'll buy himself time. Hey, it's a teardown, it's X,
Y and Z. We gotta move on. And I got
news for you. I would say that by Thanksgiving the
(38:30):
Broncos will have a new starting quarterback. Not because Russell
Wilson is absolutely terrible. He was bad tonight, but again,
receivers aren't getting separation. There's nobody that's open it, So
I think he's missing wide open wide receivers. He I
mean that's a Mark Sanchez game. I mean, I mean
that's a Mark Sanchez Thursday Night game. But the Broncos
are gonna owe him thirty seven million dollars thirty seven
(38:53):
shut up guaranteed just by injury next season. Now, they're
gonna need some time to work on the money, because
you need some time to do that with Russell Wilson.
They're not gonna want him injured because then his salary
is guaranteed for injury, and who knows what happens after that.
They will sit him to make sure he's not hurt.
So in the off season they can Redoce some money.
(39:14):
He will Redoce some money, and he will get traded
to his next destination. Somebody will be in the Russell
Wilson business as long as doesn't play completely awful this year.
And while tonight was bad, so far, the season hasn't
been that that bad.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Look.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Guy's got eleven touchdowns. He's not like he's not moving.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
He's one to six QBR that everybody wants to through
out there. Quarterback rating QBR is gonna be lower, but
you get my point.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
He's somebody that will have attention and as long as
he is upright, they need to be able to make
that move, so they will sit him. And he's got
just a few weeks left to be the starting quarterback
for the Broncos before he winds up not playing, whether
it's either some kind of crazy injury designation or not.
But he's gonna sit out because they're gonna have to,
(39:57):
because they're gonna move on from in the offseason, and
you can trade him because money can always be worked out.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Yeah, it's the curiosity coming in and tonight he was
at sixty seven percent completion rate while it wasn't pretty,
and you had some glorious comebacks. Go back to that
game against the Bears. It's it's been uneven, but your
your wide receivers get no separation.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Russell Wilson just a few games left to start
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Coming up next in them, you know, Jerry Judy versus
Steve Smith, Fox
