speaking of Friday, you know we did a we did
a special, big fun Friday the thirteenth show last week
and now they're rebooting Friday the franchise. Nice. Now, do
you think it's gonna be Jason or the wind up?
Being like Jason's kid, like is he do you think
he's got? Yeah? Like he's something like he met another
(01:10):
like if he met a female, you know, hockey mass
serial killer in the woods. They got together, they spent
time at the lake. They have a big house and
you know, they had an expansion everything, and they had
a little baby that he's mad because Jason was never around, Yes,
little baby hockey man, because Jason had to go kill
you know, a bunch of people that's in. Yeah, So
(01:31):
the kid was mad. Dad was never around. And now
he goes out, and now he goes and he takes over.
Maybe they get the rights to Cats in the Cradle. Oh,
it does. A little kid with a hockey math playing
it on a photograph. He's on a he's on a swing,
trying to get himself started. And the and then later
on you've got the heavy breathing into phones when you're
(01:54):
coming home son, I don't know when he's got a
knife in one hand, and he just keeps picking up
the needle of the record when it finishes and putting
it back to the beginning, Eddie, and he's watching the
news and there's there's all sorts of stories on the atrocities,
and you hear my boy was just like me. And
then then then they then they cut to when he
(02:15):
looks over and Jason's like sitting in a recliner reading
the newspaper and smoking a pipe and not paying attention
to his kid. His kids showing him all these different
ways I can carve up a doll with a knife. Look, dad,
look what I can do here. That's nice and turned
the pictures. Got a swam man that he's throwing knives
at and all these different things filter staircase to nowhere.
(02:41):
I want to see if Annie can anybody's booked they
the big cabin on Airbnb, because if there's teenagers there
this week, I want to go kill him. Can you
go check if the WiFi is up? Let me know,
because it hasn't been booked the last couple of weeks. Oh,
someone's there. How many people booked it? Awesome? Okay, great,
hey son, We're gonna go have some fun this weekend.
Hey dad, like that would be awesome. It's an airbnb
(03:03):
that has a minimum of six people. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
hash yeah. It's gotta be a full full movie's worth.
Otherwise send me white bother. Well what here? Well, here's
how it has to be, and here's how it has
to be. Is that just like with any airbnb? You know? Oh,
it's just me and my boyfriend coming up or whatever.
Me and my girlfriend. Oh great. And then meanwhile it's like, hey,
come on up, man, we got the blazes. It's all good,
and like twelve people are there, and so he's causing
(03:25):
a lot of ruckis there. And then of course the
people that own the airbnb show up just to make
sure there's only a couple of people there, and Jason
winds up getting them. Oh yeah, like that's a whole
you know what you call it still sends a bill
for the cleaning that has to happen. He's bloodstains aren't
coming out. I gotta I gotta do something more, and
I need to get Hey, honey, bring the swiffer in.
(03:45):
I gotta make sure you don't get your security deposit back. Yeah,
that would be I want my security deposit back. That's
a movie. That's a movie. That's it just like debt done.
Just think of five minutes extemporaneous speaking and work shopping
(04:06):
and yes, and would they all wear hockey masks or
would they all or would they each have a like
he's got the hockey mask and she might have like
a oh, I don't know, like a lacrosse face mask.
And then there's got to be some variety here, because
now it's all about merch too. Yeah yeah, oh could
you sell more? Yeah? But just an adorable little kids
and maybe it's painted like the old hockey masks. Yeah,
(04:28):
right when the bees are and all those guys had
the cool design and Eddie the Eagle was getting it done.
Who was it? Who was the goalie that put the
notch in his in his mask for every shutout? Who
was it was that Tony Esposito that did that? They
hope so, and like so the kid doesn't they do
it for every person he kills if not in the mask.
That escalated quickly, But it's a movie. Oh it's we
(04:52):
just we just rebooted the franchise right here, and we
got Hope solo on this thing. And now we're definitely
getting suited. Now we're done on so come on. That's
a great idea right there. Past she had a good run.
I mean, like she's not without some issues, but she
had a good run. Wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a wut, wait a wut, wait a minute. Wait,
this is gonna blow your Kylo wrench. They no, no, no,
this is gonna blow your mind. This is what it is.
(05:13):
He terrorizes, he organizes No, okay, he fakes he's the favorite.
Then we get no, no, no, no no. Jason organizes
a weekend away at this big like uh lakeside Chalet right, no, no,
follow me on this right, and he invites all these
(05:34):
great former goalies in sports hits like Patrick wa is there,
and Hope Solo is there, and Chris Osgood is there,
and and uh Flurry is there? Mark on any invited? Well,
you gotta have Jonathan Quick, so let's see if you
live up to your name. Yes, yes, yes, oh yeah yeah.
And but other people I Hope Solo, Brianna Scurry, they're
(05:55):
all there, and he invites him all and all bring
your gear because we're gonna have a fun Like know,
there's gonna be a fun game. We're gonna play on
the crash Bandit video. Man, wouldn't it be great if
we can all play? And he goes after everybody and
they're all wearing masks, and they're all wearing their goldie masks.
That would be So he's in the goalie mask and
(06:15):
he's going out killing, trying to kill other goalies like that.
That's now, that's a movie. And he's too quick you
be too quick, but he would lose an arm or
something though, so so you could have the line wasn't
quick enough, you know, but but he could survive, but
he just los right, not quick enough. And then you
walk back into the cabin and it's just the wall
of all the goldie masks. Yes, yes, I look at
(06:40):
all look at all these goalies right now. Now that
that's a movie right there, that's a movie. Why does
the Whalers one have so many dents in it? That
was Sean Burke. Uh. He was tough one. He was big,
he was six three hands like monsters on. I was
able to get him. Ah, So there you go. That's
I can write that down. That's a movie. Jason terrorizes
other goalies. Okay, uh it is that Jason Smithshire with
(07:02):
my Carmen here as we shop that pretty well here
on a Friday night. We got Jason Cole coming up
in a few minutes to break down the weekend coming
up in the NFL, and you know, we're at a
point where we have to ask this question ahead of
Giants Eagles, and it's going to be a difficult one
and you're gonna hear it, and you're gonna go, oh, well,
I guess we kind of have to ask it because
(07:23):
every generation has their own person of this. I am
now getting ready in my Carmen because clearly we're not
gonna see the previous guy in the NFL anymore. But
now let's get ready with Joe Flacco probably done, get
ready for the is Daniel Jones elite conversations? He's the guy,
He's the guy that is Daniel Jones elite? Right, He's perfect.
(07:48):
He's the perfect guy to take that mantle away and
to take that you know, to you from failing hands.
I passed this torch. Uh, you know, Joe Flacco's do elie.
He's not in the game anymore. Who's that question? Daniel Jones?
Is that guy? Dan? That is he elite? Because his
backers will tell you look at some of the games
he has when he can control the game and he
can run with the football. Look, I told you last
week they were gonna win and he was gonna have
(08:09):
over seventy yards rushing. What happened. He had seventy eight
yards rushing and they won. You're welcome with that, um.
But but his detractors will say, he's just okay, he's
not as dynamic, he functions as kind of the head
of the snake. And and and that's gonna be your
big debate. Is Daniel Jones elite? And oh my god,
we just finished this with Joe Flacco down we gonna
do with Daniel Jones. And I'll tell you this is
(08:31):
Daniel Jones elite. No, he's not all right. Elite is
if you're really good anywhere Daniel Jones works and has
worked right here in this system to a point for
the Giants right now. He threw fifteen touchdowns this year.
It's not a lot, right, he had sixty seven percent
of his passes, right, but he doesn't throw for a
(08:51):
lot of yards. And he barely threw for three thousand yards.
I mean not not four thousand yards. He barely threw
for three thousand yards. The guy is is good in
this system. Now. What saves him is that he does
have those games every couple of weeks where boy, he
really does damage with the football. He's kind of like
a like a like a not even two point oh,
but like a one point oh Josh Allen right the
(09:14):
way the way he does it because he's not as
dynamic and he doesn't run and and dominate the games
of the control runs that Josh Allen does. But he
does have those games every couple of weeks ago. Wow,
he really did it here. Daniel Jones is okay? Right?
Is he elite? No, he's not. I'm never gonna tell
you he's elite. He was just a guy. He still
kind of is just a guy. And he may not
be that great this week, but going forward, the Giants
(09:37):
are gonna be faced with a well, we don't need
to start over, but can we get better? They're gonna
be in a tough spot, right because because this success
by Daniel Jones comes with its own questions, Boy, do
we commit to him and we make a mark guy?
Because this may be as good as he gets in
and it really is. He's just been okay. Do we
think he's gonna continue to progress? You're kind of stuck
(09:58):
because he's been just good enough to kind of hold
on of the job. So I'm gonna tell you there's
no way Daniel Jones elite. He said every once in
every couple of weeks, I'll have a big He'll be
able to do something. You boy, he really was a
thorn in our side that game. But overall, Yeah, he's
kind of just a guy. Know as much as I
love hot day nonsense, I mean as much as much
as anybody. I mean, let's just fire up the old
(10:19):
flamethrower and get after it. Idea put that back in
the movie as well. Uh look fifteen and five the
ten inter interception ratio, seven rushing touchdowns seven under eight yards,
fifty seven rushing first downs. So that's uh, that's a
big deal. Uh so because we look at his history
(10:40):
seventeen sixteen, so they were more efficient, ran the sneak
and used him more effectively, Mike Kafka. That's why they're
looking at him potentially as a head coach eventually. And
you look what he and Dable have done in year
one with Jones to where it's it's earned more a
look see and stability right, and and the hope that
(11:01):
with another year, assuming gaff castas that you then have
coordinators back to back years that you can grow upon
and maybe push him to another level. Not to mention,
go spend some money in free agency and bring him
a wide receiver beyond Darius Slate and who people have
heard of mentioned it before when you go through their
(11:23):
leaders in receiving and it's not to say, hey, he
was a prolific passer by any stretch. But when your
leader UH is tied, you're leading wide receiver is tied
with say Kawad Barkley at fifty seven receptions, you can
make the argument and spin it of hey, they spread
the ball around well to a bunch of lesser options
like no, they just didn't have a number one to say,
(11:43):
go get it. So they'll see if that they had
hoped Canarius Tony would be that guy alas he is
now in Kansas City. So Daniel Jones is a guy
that I think it's peaque people's interests because they hadn't
watched him a ton kind of had been dismissed. So
now you've got folks kind of inching up UH in
their chairs to see what he's all about. And he's
(12:04):
got a huge stage here to try to win some
people over that he could be the answer to say
that he is right now or even if they were
to pull off a win, here is Asina. Be sure

the biggest in season trades in NFL history, breaking down
the Christian McCaffrey deal. It is the aforementioned Jason Cole.
J Cole, What's happening man. Yeah, an email the other
(13:33):
day from Jim Porter from the Hall of Fames. He said,
it just said, I need to talk that a bad things.
Just asking your sage advice about yet. Yeah, can we discuss.
Can't fire you if he can't talk to you, the
George Casta. Can't fire me if they can't find me
(13:55):
and they don't talk to you, can't fire you. Can't
be fired from a paying job like this one. I
wasn't even supposed to work today. Hey, hey, listen, listen, listen.
I gotta ask you a question because I tell Harmon
this and Harmon continues to blow me off on it.
By any chance, are you watching The Bear, The Bear,
The Bear, the TV show. It's about a It's about
(14:17):
a chef who comes back to Chicago. His brother commits suicide.
He comes back to run the restaurant. Okay, well, it's
an unbelievable show. And there is a guy on the show.
I'm not lying. I've been waiting to tell you this
all week because it might be the Bear from the Revenant. No, no, no, no,
it's not that bear. We just started watching it, and
there's a guy who does stuff and fix his stuff
(14:38):
around the restaurant and he gets paid in sandwiches. I'm
not lying to you. He gets just like you get
paid in sandwiches to come on the show. He gets
paid in sandwiches to do stuff and fix stuff around
the restaurant. So I think we can sue the bear
and make a lot of money on that, because that
was our ideas when they when they sued Owen Wilson
(14:59):
or with my cousin Dupre. It might work. I think
it might work. Dn't get anything out of that one
sandwiches possible you know, possible drug money for Walter Becker
(15:20):
allegedly alleged come on, allegedly, Come on, Walter, I miss Walter.
I'm listening. He's a genius. Hey. So I want to
bring this up too, because this is something I mean,
I want to bring up something you actually did on
the internet. Um, you have this big column up on
out kick about mid season trades in the NFL. Can
(15:41):
the Christian McCaffrey trade end up the best mid season
deal of all time? Yeah? Because I mean, think about
if they end up winning the Super Bowl? Right, Um,
for a second or third round pick? And I think
was it for a second or third and a fourth
and the column you should know they're sparky. Come on, man,
(16:04):
you got to know these well. I mean, there's so
many draft picks that were mentioned in that column. It's
it's hard to remember them all right, but makes sure
plus a five. Stop talking. I'm the ones describing my column. Okay.
So anyways, um, and if in a year where they're
down to their number three quarterback, and granted, the number
three quarterback has been a surprising genius, Okay, but McCaffrey
(16:28):
comes in basically becomes goes back to being the great
dual purpose player, dual threat player that he was. Yeah,
I mean, he's so important to what they do on
offense and the fact that they survived down the stretch
mostly without Deebo Sammuel and now they have Samuel back,
(16:48):
which makes them more dangerous. But yeah, I would say
it becomes a better trade than the von Miller trade. Now,
there are certain ways you have to qualify this. Now,
the Herschel Walker trade, it's still a stunning trade, but
not for the team that acquired player. It didn't really
(17:08):
work for Minnesota as far as the team that was
acquiring him to try and win. You know, the purpose
of making this feel. I think this would be the
biggest one. And there's been four trades like this, you
know Von Miller last year, and then there was Booker
McFarland in two uh and then Mike Haines back in
(17:29):
the Raiders got him and went on to win a
Super Bowl. And I think I talked about and there's
nine team trades, but I talked about in this one.
Obviously the herschel Walker one gets mentioned in there, but
again not so fortunate for the for Minnesota, very fortunate
for the Cowboys. But now Ron Lynn not not not
(17:51):
not a great deal for him. Now, when we look
at the squad, you also get Eli Mitchell back with
Deebo Samuel so helping with McCaffrey's workload and opening him up.
But it all comes down to Brock Purty and what
he's able to do against that Dallas defense. People seemingly
coming around to my thought Jason Cole that Trey Lance
is not some untouchable mythic figure just because of what
(18:15):
they've given for him a couple of years ago. That
that's a sunk cost baby in economic terms. Oh that's yeah,
that that is definitely sunk or sunk in however you
want it. But Kyle Shanahan has told people privately that
um that he knows that tray Lance is not the
(18:37):
answer and certainly not the answer anytime short term. Right Like,
if tray Lance is going to make it, Trey Lance
is gonna need a lot of work. Brock Purty is
ready to leave them right now. Now. I still hesitate
from saying completely that brock Purty is the starter going
(18:58):
in the next year, no matter what I think they're
you know, you still have to have some hesitation to
see what happens here in the west of the playoffs here.
But he's been he's been damned impressive, and it gives
you a fallback in case. Okay, maybe we want to
chase Aaron Rodgers, maybe want to chase Tom Brady, but
(19:19):
we're not going to go out of control with it
because we have this other guy to fall back on
for the short term. But Trey Lance, I think they're
going to do everything they can to pump up his
stock in the offseason, send him somewhere else. So like
when when Trey Lance is doing crossed fingers on Ran Carpon,
(19:39):
moving on, let me just say so, is Kyle Shanahan.
So that's the definition of writing on the wall. I
would do that. That's what we have right there that
I think that's like tray lance. Yeah, look, Jimmy Garoppolo
is definitely gone. This is not He's not staying around
for the US Um. He did that once already. But
(20:04):
I think that the I think the forty Niners will
do whatever they can to try and sell trade lance
and say in trade to somebody else and recoup a
little bit of what they got however they can. But
I don't see trail lance. Even if brock Purty doesn't
work out, there's a pretty good chance of trailiance doesn't
(20:25):
stick around. Does he have do you think he can
work out? Like? Is he someone that long haul brock
Purty can be the next Tom Brady or the next
Tony Romo and you know, come from obscurity and win.
Or is he having this moment now and eventually teams
are going to catch up with them. I'm really interested
to see Sunday when when he's facing a great pass
(20:47):
rush or like Michael Parsons, right, how does he handle that?
And then the week after, assuming they survived on Sunday
in Dallas, then you face a really you know, a
heavy front against Philly that can also pass rush. I
don't want to see him in those two games. Up
to now, he's passed every test with flying colors. And
(21:11):
I mean, I know, people, you know, I've had one
scout like just ripped me in the middle of a
conversation when I said this, But I'll say that, I'll
say anyways, he leads the field and processes and has
had as fast as any quarterback I've ever seen, including
Dan Marino. Now he's not gifted physically like Dan Marino
(21:35):
or he's a lot of these other guys. Don't get
me wrong. Okay, don't take this. But in terms of
the aptitude that he has, the cognitive skills that he
has to read a play dissected nowhere, go have an
answer for when defensive throws something at him. He's he's amazing.
(21:57):
He's truly, truly stunning. I'm good he is. And on
top of that, he's got what my people would call
futzpah um that there's a There was this play last
Saturday where he threw deep in the end of the
midway through the second quarter of thinking you know it
(22:18):
was over tolown um. He was going deep for Ioak
who was um one on one coverage right now. He
should have thrown the ball to be about Samuel, who
was wide open on the righting and side, but he
saw an opportunity with Iraq and one on one coverage
to take a shot. Well, I thought the ball was
going to Samuel and quit running it about the ten
yard line, so the ball falls in complete. I as
(22:41):
I was running back towards the huddle just before he
got stubbed out. Rock Party is standing there and he's
just staring at iook just like And it was such
a ballsy moment for a young quarterback has played seven games,
could be daring down a veteran wide receiver because the
(23:03):
guy quit on the route when he could have had
a touchdown, because that was that was the read by Purdy.
So I I just think that this kid is off
the charts in terms of the mental skill and aptitude
that takes to play the position, But the physical skills
are that's best average. I mean, I mean I look
(23:25):
him in the eye. I'm five eleven. I'm looking at
kid in the eye. I mean, he kind of looks
like a lot of the guys that played Aaron Murals
against in college, you know, from a physical standpoint about that,
but getting a job done as he is he has
thus far. He meets Michael Parsons and company, and all
of a sudden, das a leite again and everybody loves him.
(23:45):
After he beats up on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with
a with a rookie left tackle and Nick Bosa coming,
that's gonna be it really is. Nick Bosa versus Dak
Prescott and Michael Parsons versus Rock Purty is a great
great Those are two great matchups. If only we could
have it at Summer Slam. Bo both said parts of
(24:12):
the SummerSlam, because maybe they can meet a burning man.
All right, let me let me finish you the here,
J Cole, all right, of all the games tomorrow, we
had a lot of big point spreads on here. What's
the most likely upset the next two days? What's the
most likely upset? You see the games this weekend? Yeah,
it's easy to say, what since and the Bill and Buffalo,
(24:38):
But you know, I don't know that that's not I
don't qualify that as necessarily an upset because that's a
pickup game. In my mind, I don't know exactly what
the point spread is, but it's kind hand of a pick.
Yeah yeah, I mean that's a that's a little heavy
on buffalo um. So you know that that's out. I
(25:00):
just you know, like that's not a true, true upset.
If you're looking for a true, true upset, I can
see a path for Jacksonville beat in Kansas City, Sweet
kat what's that path? Is it the yellow brick road? What?
What's the path for them? The path is that Kansas City.
(25:21):
And they've done it so many times over the last
three or four years. They don't know how to put
people away, not on a consistent basis. And and what
Jacksonville is like, I mean, they're basically Richard Dreyfus and
let it ride, aren't they. I mean, Jacksonville is just
like the plan on House Money. They're like you were
(25:43):
three and seven, all right, let's keep this thing going.
And like I think they're they're going to be unafraid
of the situation. They don't care, Like they're probably looking
at all the fans who are going to be doing
them and saying, you guys are from Kansas City, We're
from Jackon. We don't care what you think um and
(26:06):
I just there's a there's a sense of confidence, and
the Chiefs don't put people away, Like they just don't
have that absolute killer instinct. Now, they're great when they're challenged,
Like if they're behind by ten points after the first quarter,
you can mark it down that they're going to go
on like a thirty twee run and take control of
(26:27):
the game. Right. That's that's what Kinsey does because they
get you know, they wake up a little bit. But
if they're up in the first half, it's like last
year against Cincinnati, in the first half, they're up in
the game, they're kind of cruising, and then they screw
up that last possession of the first half and since
and it just takes off on them. Right, That to
me is what the Chiefs can do. And if you're
(26:51):
not careful against the team that's young and kind of
doesn't know any better, you could lose that game. Now again,
if they played if five or seven times, I'm picking
can't City win, you know, and all but one of them,
but that one could happen. See, I thought you're gonna say,
(27:14):
like Mahomes brother starts tweeting some stuff at halftime and
he has to leave the game to go tell him
to stop tweeting, and he doesn't play in the second half,
and that's how they wind up winning. And then the
wife starts tweeting about the ref and then we stop
has it out for? Has it out for? Yeah, I
mean that's that's all the all the silly kind of
(27:35):
things that go on. But you know, maybe Zach Wilson
will show up and I didn't want to challenge look
at that with the basic My favorite story was the
headline to Day It's aw about veterans questioning Zach Wilson's
work habits. Really, that's a shocker. No, we didn't see
(27:57):
that at all during the regular season. Yeah, I mean,
he was putting in so much effort and so much
work to learn the offense and be on top of
this game. Couldn't It wasn't that obvious from the way
he played this year. That's why they didn't have to
source it to anybody. You just say anonymous people told
me this, and you're write whatever the hell you want. Well,
pretty much, here's what I can tell you. I saw this,
(28:20):
and all the fans are like, yes, that a way
we watched. You just wait until it's Lamar Jackson playing
quarterback for the Jets next year. You just wait, all
of you, Jess, I'm waiting j Jacole. He's on Twitter
at Jason coul sixty two. That is, at Jason Coles
sixty two. I'm much like Richard driving by the way.
(28:44):
Why does the why does the offensive coordinator take a
hit for that one? Well, because it's two years the
system is bad and it didn't work well. The bigger
question is why did why did a third the league
the quarterback was terrible? Like well, when the wide receiver
tells him to go blank himself in practice, I don't
know that one of them can't stay, Jacoble. One of
(29:07):
them's gotta gotta go. No, not necessarily. That stuff happens
all the time on football teams. Just a lot happened
a lot more than you think. We just hear about
it more with teams like the Jets. Oh, I mean
Dan Marino with Gary Stephens. Gary Stephens an offensive ordinaire forever,
and amount of times that Marino would walk into a meeting,
look at the look at the the the game sheet,
(29:32):
the game plan and goes, this is the same stupid
stuff you have last week And then like, throw it
at him and walk out. I mean that's what happened.
I mean, and it was much more, much more invective.
Let's just put it that way in his tone, which
you know, we'd get you guys in trouble with the FCC.
But nonetheless, Dan Maria would look at the game plan
(29:55):
and go, you know, basically this sucks and throw it
back at Gary Stephens. But Danny, Danny, take it easy, buddy.
We'll talk to you next week. Damn On Danny, Danny, Danny, Danny. Yeah.
Mary Children later stole that joke. Be sure to catch

(30:39):
dot com. Well, absolute craziness going on at the Crypt
between the Grizzlies and the Lakers tonight. As the buzzer
sounded for the second quarter, Shannon Sharp, Fox Sports commentator
to see him an undisputed Pro Football Hall of Famer,
got into it with many members of the men Fizz Grizzlies.
(31:01):
There was a shouting match and there was a lot
of back and forth between Shannon Sharp and Team Morant
John Morant's dad. Uh, the sides had to be separated.
Was all going on on the court to be to
be honest, and it is exciting that we've at least
escalated towards not It looks like he was fighting with
Usher on the silence, So I mean that's a positive stand. Yeah,
(31:23):
because it does look like Usher. He's he does Team
Marian does look like Usher. You've got the sunglasses everything.
Uh So what happened? Oh, we heard Steve de Seger
a few minutes ago play the quote Shannon Sharp has
been critical of the Memphis Grizzlies and now gets into
a shouting match with different members of the team. He
talked to ESPNS Dave mcmenham in the Games and ESPN
(31:43):
game it's, you know, one of the reasons why this
whole thing is blowing up right now, And David Meneman
asked him, Hey, Shannon, what happened and here's the direct
quote from Shannon Sharp quote. They didn't want this smoke,
Dave that talk. They do all that talking and jockeing,
and I ain't about that hockeying. It started with Dylan Brooks.
I said he was too small to guard Lebron. He said,
(32:05):
blank me. I said, blank you back. He started to
come at me and I said, you don't want these problems.
And then Jah came out of nowhere talking. He definitely
didn't want these problems. Then the dad came and he
obviously didn't want no problems, but I wanted anything they had.
Don't let these fools fool you now. And this is
this is what happened. They had to be separated, taking off.
(32:25):
Shannon Sharp was in the tunnel for halftime. He was
brought back out for the second half. Now, couple, you
gotta be an ass I want. I gotta say this.
I don't think that Shannon Sharp is being truthfully here.
He said he was into with Dylan Brooks and they
were going back and forth with each other, and he said,
you don't want these problems. John Moran comes out, you
don't want these problems. Then Team Moran comes out. No,
(32:46):
obviously they didn't want these problems. I think that the
fact they all came out and said this, they all want,
these Adams want what do you think the odds are?
Because this is my big thing. What do you think
the odds are? Now? Just think this for se And
this is where I'm gonna blow your mind that this was,
this is going to be. This was a night they
were filming Undisputed the movie. Oh nice, and all right,
(33:11):
I'm gonna need to make a scene here. Yeah, people
didn't know it, but they're filming Undisputed the movie. And
this is this is like come down from the rafters
like Sting comes out like spart Man, like toward Stern
did at the MTV Movie Awards all those years ago.
I mean, this is this is insane. I mean it's
like an episode of Undisputed. But it's at the Laker
(33:33):
game and keeping talking a lot and look, well we've
both talked about it for a long time about how
Memphis has the act like we've already done it when
they haven't. And there there's something to be said for that.
You gotta you gotta get that swagger before you can
can get to that next level. Right, it's the you know,
confident versus cocky conversation we have with quarterbacks all the time.
(33:57):
But you can say that on your your TV show.
But to show up at the arena and start being
an ass and trying to antagonize, guy, what the hell's
that this is? You don't want to smoke? We'll have
more on this story coming up next as well as
our NFL playoff preview, will pick more games coming up
this weekend. Is there an upset to be had? But yes,
(34:18):
we'll bring you this smoke. You want this smoke, We
got it for you right here. We're just getting going here.
We're at halftime tonight, second half of the show coming
up next right here on Fox. Do you want to
play me one on one?

speaking of Friday, you know we did a we did
a special, big fun Friday the thirteenth show last week
and now they're rebooting Friday the franchise. Nice. Now, do
you think it's gonna be Jason or the wind up?
Being like Jason's kid, like is he do you think
he's got? Yeah? Like he's something like he met another
(01:10):
like if he met a female, you know, hockey mass
serial killer in the woods. They got together, they spent
time at the lake. They have a big house and
you know, they had an expansion everything, and they had
a little baby that he's mad because Jason was never around, Yes,
little baby hockey man, because Jason had to go kill
you know, a bunch of people that's in. Yeah, So
(01:31):
the kid was mad. Dad was never around. And now
he goes out, and now he goes and he takes over.
Maybe they get the rights to Cats in the Cradle. Oh,
it does. A little kid with a hockey math playing
it on a photograph. He's on a he's on a swing,
trying to get himself started. And the and then later
on you've got the heavy breathing into phones when you're
(01:54):
coming home son, I don't know when he's got a
knife in one hand, and he just keeps picking up
the needle of the record when it finishes and putting
it back to the beginning, Eddie, and he's watching the
news and there's there's all sorts of stories on the atrocities,
and you hear my boy was just like me. And
then then then they then they cut to when he
(02:15):
looks over and Jason's like sitting in a recliner reading
the newspaper and smoking a pipe and not paying attention
to his kid. His kids showing him all these different
ways I can carve up a doll with a knife. Look, dad,
look what I can do here. That's nice and turned
the pictures. Got a swam man that he's throwing knives
at and all these different things filter staircase to nowhere.
(02:41):
I want to see if Annie can anybody's booked they
the big cabin on Airbnb, because if there's teenagers there
this week, I want to go kill him. Can you
go check if the WiFi is up? Let me know,
because it hasn't been booked the last couple of weeks. Oh,
someone's there. How many people booked it? Awesome? Okay, great,
hey son, We're gonna go have some fun this weekend.
Hey dad, like that would be awesome. It's an airbnb
(03:03):
that has a minimum of six people. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
hash yeah. It's gotta be a full full movie's worth.
Otherwise send me white bother. Well what here? Well, here's
how it has to be, and here's how it has
to be. Is that just like with any airbnb? You know? Oh,
it's just me and my boyfriend coming up or whatever.
Me and my girlfriend. Oh great. And then meanwhile it's like, hey,
come on up, man, we got the blazes. It's all good,
and like twelve people are there, and so he's causing
(03:25):
a lot of ruckis there. And then of course the
people that own the airbnb show up just to make
sure there's only a couple of people there, and Jason
winds up getting them. Oh yeah, like that's a whole
you know what you call it still sends a bill
for the cleaning that has to happen. He's bloodstains aren't
coming out. I gotta I gotta do something more, and
I need to get Hey, honey, bring the swiffer in.
(03:45):
I gotta make sure you don't get your security deposit back. Yeah,
that would be I want my security deposit back. That's
a movie. That's a movie. That's it just like debt done.
Just think of five minutes extemporaneous speaking and work shopping
(04:06):
and yes, and would they all wear hockey masks or
would they all or would they each have a like
he's got the hockey mask and she might have like
a oh, I don't know, like a lacrosse face mask.
And then there's got to be some variety here, because
now it's all about merch too. Yeah yeah, oh could
you sell more? Yeah? But just an adorable little kids
and maybe it's painted like the old hockey masks. Yeah,
(04:28):
right when the bees are and all those guys had
the cool design and Eddie the Eagle was getting it done.
Who was it? Who was the goalie that put the
notch in his in his mask for every shutout? Who
was it was that Tony Esposito that did that? They
hope so, and like so the kid doesn't they do
it for every person he kills if not in the mask.
That escalated quickly, But it's a movie. Oh it's we
(04:52):
just we just rebooted the franchise right here, and we
got Hope solo on this thing. And now we're definitely
getting suited. Now we're done on so come on. That's
a great idea right there. Past she had a good run.
I mean, like she's not without some issues, but she
had a good run. Wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a wut, wait a wut, wait a minute. Wait,
this is gonna blow your Kylo wrench. They no, no, no,
this is gonna blow your mind. This is what it is.
(05:13):
He terrorizes, he organizes No, okay, he fakes he's the favorite.
Then we get no, no, no, no no. Jason organizes
a weekend away at this big like uh lakeside Chalet right, no, no,
follow me on this right, and he invites all these
(05:34):
great former goalies in sports hits like Patrick wa is there,
and Hope Solo is there, and Chris Osgood is there,
and and uh Flurry is there? Mark on any invited? Well,
you gotta have Jonathan Quick, so let's see if you
live up to your name. Yes, yes, yes, oh yeah yeah.
And but other people I Hope Solo, Brianna Scurry, they're
(05:55):
all there, and he invites him all and all bring
your gear because we're gonna have a fun Like know,
there's gonna be a fun game. We're gonna play on
the crash Bandit video. Man, wouldn't it be great if
we can all play? And he goes after everybody and
they're all wearing masks, and they're all wearing their goldie masks.
That would be So he's in the goalie mask and
(06:15):
he's going out killing, trying to kill other goalies like that.
That's now, that's a movie. And he's too quick you
be too quick, but he would lose an arm or
something though, so so you could have the line wasn't
quick enough, you know, but but he could survive, but
he just los right, not quick enough. And then you
walk back into the cabin and it's just the wall
of all the goldie masks. Yes, yes, I look at
(06:40):
all look at all these goalies right now. Now that
that's a movie right there, that's a movie. Why does
the Whalers one have so many dents in it? That
was Sean Burke. Uh. He was tough one. He was big,
he was six three hands like monsters on. I was
able to get him. Ah, So there you go. That's
I can write that down. That's a movie. Jason terrorizes
other goalies. Okay, uh it is that Jason Smithshire with
(07:02):
my Carmen here as we shop that pretty well here
on a Friday night. We got Jason Cole coming up
in a few minutes to break down the weekend coming
up in the NFL, and you know, we're at a
point where we have to ask this question ahead of
Giants Eagles, and it's going to be a difficult one
and you're gonna hear it, and you're gonna go, oh, well,
I guess we kind of have to ask it because
(07:23):
every generation has their own person of this. I am
now getting ready in my Carmen because clearly we're not
gonna see the previous guy in the NFL anymore. But
now let's get ready with Joe Flacco probably done, get
ready for the is Daniel Jones elite conversations? He's the guy,
He's the guy that is Daniel Jones elite? Right, He's perfect.
(07:48):
He's the perfect guy to take that mantle away and
to take that you know, to you from failing hands.
I passed this torch. Uh, you know, Joe Flacco's do elie.
He's not in the game anymore. Who's that question? Daniel Jones?
Is that guy? Dan? That is he elite? Because his
backers will tell you look at some of the games
he has when he can control the game and he
can run with the football. Look, I told you last
week they were gonna win and he was gonna have
(08:09):
over seventy yards rushing. What happened. He had seventy eight
yards rushing and they won. You're welcome with that, um.
But but his detractors will say, he's just okay, he's
not as dynamic, he functions as kind of the head
of the snake. And and and that's gonna be your
big debate. Is Daniel Jones elite? And oh my god,
we just finished this with Joe Flacco down we gonna
do with Daniel Jones. And I'll tell you this is
(08:31):
Daniel Jones elite. No, he's not all right. Elite is
if you're really good anywhere Daniel Jones works and has
worked right here in this system to a point for
the Giants right now. He threw fifteen touchdowns this year.
It's not a lot, right, he had sixty seven percent
of his passes, right, but he doesn't throw for a
(08:51):
lot of yards. And he barely threw for three thousand yards.
I mean not not four thousand yards. He barely threw
for three thousand yards. The guy is is good in
this system. Now. What saves him is that he does
have those games every couple of weeks where boy, he
really does damage with the football. He's kind of like
a like a like a not even two point oh,
but like a one point oh Josh Allen right the
(09:14):
way the way he does it because he's not as
dynamic and he doesn't run and and dominate the games
of the control runs that Josh Allen does. But he
does have those games every couple of weeks ago. Wow,
he really did it here. Daniel Jones is okay? Right?
Is he elite? No, he's not. I'm never gonna tell
you he's elite. He was just a guy. He still
kind of is just a guy. And he may not
be that great this week, but going forward, the Giants
(09:37):
are gonna be faced with a well, we don't need
to start over, but can we get better? They're gonna
be in a tough spot, right because because this success
by Daniel Jones comes with its own questions, Boy, do
we commit to him and we make a mark guy?
Because this may be as good as he gets in
and it really is. He's just been okay. Do we
think he's gonna continue to progress? You're kind of stuck
(09:58):
because he's been just good enough to kind of hold
on of the job. So I'm gonna tell you there's
no way Daniel Jones elite. He said every once in
every couple of weeks, I'll have a big He'll be
able to do something. You boy, he really was a
thorn in our side that game. But overall, Yeah, he's
kind of just a guy. Know as much as I
love hot day nonsense, I mean as much as much
as anybody. I mean, let's just fire up the old
(10:19):
flamethrower and get after it. Idea put that back in
the movie as well. Uh look fifteen and five the
ten inter interception ratio, seven rushing touchdowns seven under eight yards,
fifty seven rushing first downs. So that's uh, that's a
big deal. Uh so because we look at his history
(10:40):
seventeen sixteen, so they were more efficient, ran the sneak
and used him more effectively, Mike Kafka. That's why they're
looking at him potentially as a head coach eventually. And
you look what he and Dable have done in year
one with Jones to where it's it's earned more a
look see and stability right, and and the hope that
(11:01):
with another year, assuming gaff castas that you then have
coordinators back to back years that you can grow upon
and maybe push him to another level. Not to mention,
go spend some money in free agency and bring him
a wide receiver beyond Darius Slate and who people have
heard of mentioned it before when you go through their
(11:23):
leaders in receiving and it's not to say, hey, he
was a prolific passer by any stretch. But when your
leader UH is tied, you're leading wide receiver is tied
with say Kawad Barkley at fifty seven receptions, you can
make the argument and spin it of hey, they spread
the ball around well to a bunch of lesser options
like no, they just didn't have a number one to say,
(11:43):
go get it. So they'll see if that they had
hoped Canarius Tony would be that guy alas he is
now in Kansas City. So Daniel Jones is a guy
that I think it's peaque people's interests because they hadn't
watched him a ton kind of had been dismissed. So
now you've got folks kind of inching up UH in
their chairs to see what he's all about. And he's
(12:04):
got a huge stage here to try to win some
people over that he could be the answer to say
that he is right now or even if they were
to pull off a win, here is Asina. Be sure

the biggest in season trades in NFL history, breaking down
the Christian McCaffrey deal. It is the aforementioned Jason Cole.
J Cole, What's happening man. Yeah, an email the other
(13:33):
day from Jim Porter from the Hall of Fames. He said,
it just said, I need to talk that a bad things.
Just asking your sage advice about yet. Yeah, can we discuss.

(13:55):
and they don't talk to you, can't fire you. Can't
be fired from a paying job like this one. I
wasn't even supposed to work today. Hey, hey, listen, listen, listen.
I gotta ask you a question because I tell Harmon
this and Harmon continues to blow me off on it.
By any chance, are you watching The Bear, The Bear,
The Bear, the TV show. It's about a It's about
(14:17):
a chef who comes back to Chicago. His brother commits suicide.
He comes back to run the restaurant. Okay, well, it's
an unbelievable show. And there is a guy on the show.
I'm not lying. I've been waiting to tell you this
all week because it might be the Bear from the Revenant. No, no, no, no,
it's not that bear. We just started watching it, and
there's a guy who does stuff and fix his stuff
(14:38):
around the restaurant and he gets paid in sandwiches. I'm
not lying to you. He gets just like you get
paid in sandwiches to come on the show. He gets
paid in sandwiches to do stuff and fix stuff around
the restaurant. So I think we can sue the bear
and make a lot of money on that, because that
was our ideas when they when they sued Owen Wilson
(14:59):
or with my cousin Dupre. It might work. I think
it might work. Dn't get anything out of that one
sandwiches possible you know, possible drug money for Walter Becker
(15:20):
allegedly alleged come on, allegedly, Come on, Walter, I miss Walter.
I'm listening. He's a genius. Hey. So I want to
bring this up too, because this is something I mean,
I want to bring up something you actually did on
the internet. Um, you have this big column up on
out kick about mid season trades in the NFL. Can
(15:41):
the Christian McCaffrey trade end up the best mid season
deal of all time? Yeah? Because I mean, think about
if they end up winning the Super Bowl? Right, Um,
for a second or third round pick? And I think
was it for a second or third and a fourth
and the column you should know they're sparky. Come on, man,
(16:04):
you got to know these well. I mean, there's so
many draft picks that were mentioned in that column. It's
it's hard to remember them all right, but makes sure
plus a five. Stop talking. I'm the ones describing my column. Okay.
So anyways, um, and if in a year where they're
down to their number three quarterback, and granted, the number
three quarterback has been a surprising genius, Okay, but McCaffrey
(16:28):
comes in basically becomes goes back to being the great
dual purpose player, dual threat player that he was. Yeah,
I mean, he's so important to what they do on
offense and the fact that they survived down the stretch
mostly without Deebo Sammuel and now they have Samuel back,
(16:48):
which makes them more dangerous. But yeah, I would say
it becomes a better trade than the von Miller trade. Now,
there are certain ways you have to qualify this. Now,
the Herschel Walker trade, it's still a stunning trade, but
not for the team that acquired player. It didn't really
(17:08):
work for Minnesota as far as the team that was
acquiring him to try and win. You know, the purpose
of making this feel. I think this would be the
biggest one. And there's been four trades like this, you
know Von Miller last year, and then there was Booker
McFarland in two uh and then Mike Haines back in
(17:29):
the Raiders got him and went on to win a
Super Bowl. And I think I talked about and there's
nine team trades, but I talked about in this one.
Obviously the herschel Walker one gets mentioned in there, but
again not so fortunate for the for Minnesota, very fortunate
for the Cowboys. But now Ron Lynn not not not
(17:51):
not a great deal for him. Now, when we look
at the squad, you also get Eli Mitchell back with
Deebo Samuel so helping with McCaffrey's workload and opening him up.
But it all comes down to Brock Purty and what
he's able to do against that Dallas defense. People seemingly
coming around to my thought Jason Cole that Trey Lance
is not some untouchable mythic figure just because of what
(18:15):
they've given for him a couple of years ago. That
that's a sunk cost baby in economic terms. Oh that's yeah,
that that is definitely sunk or sunk in however you
want it. But Kyle Shanahan has told people privately that
um that he knows that tray Lance is not the
(18:37):
answer and certainly not the answer anytime short term. Right Like,
if tray Lance is going to make it, Trey Lance
is gonna need a lot of work. Brock Purty is
ready to leave them right now. Now. I still hesitate
from saying completely that brock Purty is the starter going
(18:58):
in the next year, no matter what I think they're
you know, you still have to have some hesitation to
see what happens here in the west of the playoffs here.
But he's been he's been damned impressive, and it gives
you a fallback in case. Okay, maybe we want to
chase Aaron Rodgers, maybe want to chase Tom Brady, but
(19:19):
we're not going to go out of control with it
because we have this other guy to fall back on
for the short term. But Trey Lance, I think they're
going to do everything they can to pump up his
stock in the offseason, send him somewhere else. So like
when when Trey Lance is doing crossed fingers on Ran Carpon,
(19:39):
moving on, let me just say so, is Kyle Shanahan.
So that's the definition of writing on the wall. I
would do that. That's what we have right there that
I think that's like tray lance. Yeah, look, Jimmy Garoppolo
is definitely gone. This is not He's not staying around
for the US Um. He did that once already. But
(20:04):
I think that the I think the forty Niners will
do whatever they can to try and sell trade lance
and say in trade to somebody else and recoup a
little bit of what they got however they can. But
I don't see trail lance. Even if brock Purty doesn't
work out, there's a pretty good chance of trailiance doesn't
(20:25):
stick around. Does he have do you think he can
work out? Like? Is he someone that long haul brock
Purty can be the next Tom Brady or the next
Tony Romo and you know, come from obscurity and win.
Or is he having this moment now and eventually teams
are going to catch up with them. I'm really interested
to see Sunday when when he's facing a great pass
(20:47):
rush or like Michael Parsons, right, how does he handle that?
And then the week after, assuming they survived on Sunday
in Dallas, then you face a really you know, a
heavy front against Philly that can also pass rush. I
don't want to see him in those two games. Up
to now, he's passed every test with flying colors. And
(21:11):
I mean, I know, people, you know, I've had one
scout like just ripped me in the middle of a
conversation when I said this, But I'll say that, I'll
say anyways, he leads the field and processes and has
had as fast as any quarterback I've ever seen, including
Dan Marino. Now he's not gifted physically like Dan Marino
(21:35):
or he's a lot of these other guys. Don't get
me wrong. Okay, don't take this. But in terms of
the aptitude that he has, the cognitive skills that he
has to read a play dissected nowhere, go have an
answer for when defensive throws something at him. He's he's amazing.
(21:57):
He's truly, truly stunning. I'm good he is. And on
top of that, he's got what my people would call
futzpah um that there's a There was this play last
Saturday where he threw deep in the end of the
midway through the second quarter of thinking you know it
(22:18):
was over tolown um. He was going deep for Ioak
who was um one on one coverage right now. He
should have thrown the ball to be about Samuel, who
was wide open on the righting and side, but he
saw an opportunity with Iraq and one on one coverage
to take a shot. Well, I thought the ball was
going to Samuel and quit running it about the ten
yard line, so the ball falls in complete. I as
(22:41):
I was running back towards the huddle just before he
got stubbed out. Rock Party is standing there and he's
just staring at iook just like And it was such
a ballsy moment for a young quarterback has played seven games,
could be daring down a veteran wide receiver because the
(23:03):
guy quit on the route when he could have had
a touchdown, because that was that was the read by Purdy.
So I I just think that this kid is off
the charts in terms of the mental skill and aptitude
that takes to play the position, But the physical skills
are that's best average. I mean, I mean I look
(23:25):
him in the eye. I'm five eleven. I'm looking at
kid in the eye. I mean, he kind of looks
like a lot of the guys that played Aaron Murals
against in college, you know, from a physical standpoint about that,
but getting a job done as he is he has
thus far. He meets Michael Parsons and company, and all
of a sudden, das a leite again and everybody loves him.
(23:45):
After he beats up on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with
a with a rookie left tackle and Nick Bosa coming,
that's gonna be it really is. Nick Bosa versus Dak
Prescott and Michael Parsons versus Rock Purty is a great
great Those are two great matchups. If only we could
have it at Summer Slam. Bo both said parts of
(24:12):
the SummerSlam, because maybe they can meet a burning man.
All right, let me let me finish you the here,
J Cole, all right, of all the games tomorrow, we
had a lot of big point spreads on here. What's
the most likely upset the next two days? What's the
most likely upset? You see the games this weekend? Yeah,
it's easy to say, what since and the Bill and Buffalo,
(24:38):
But you know, I don't know that that's not I
don't qualify that as necessarily an upset because that's a
pickup game. In my mind, I don't know exactly what
the point spread is, but it's kind hand of a pick.
Yeah yeah, I mean that's a that's a little heavy
on buffalo um. So you know that that's out. I
(25:00):
just you know, like that's not a true, true upset.
If you're looking for a true, true upset, I can
see a path for Jacksonville beat in Kansas City, Sweet
kat what's that path? Is it the yellow brick road? What?
What's the path for them? The path is that Kansas City.
(25:21):
And they've done it so many times over the last
three or four years. They don't know how to put
people away, not on a consistent basis. And and what
Jacksonville is like, I mean, they're basically Richard Dreyfus and
let it ride, aren't they. I mean, Jacksonville is just
like the plan on House Money. They're like you were
(25:43):
three and seven, all right, let's keep this thing going.
And like I think they're they're going to be unafraid
of the situation. They don't care, Like they're probably looking
at all the fans who are going to be doing
them and saying, you guys are from Kansas City, We're
from Jackon. We don't care what you think um and
(26:06):
I just there's a there's a sense of confidence, and
the Chiefs don't put people away, Like they just don't
have that absolute killer instinct. Now, they're great when they're challenged,
Like if they're behind by ten points after the first quarter,
you can mark it down that they're going to go
on like a thirty twee run and take control of
(26:27):
the game. Right. That's that's what Kinsey does because they
get you know, they wake up a little bit. But
if they're up in the first half, it's like last
year against Cincinnati, in the first half, they're up in
the game, they're kind of cruising, and then they screw
up that last possession of the first half and since
and it just takes off on them. Right, That to
me is what the Chiefs can do. And if you're
(26:51):
not careful against the team that's young and kind of
doesn't know any better, you could lose that game. Now again,
if they played if five or seven times, I'm picking
can't City win, you know, and all but one of them,
but that one could happen. See, I thought you're gonna say,
(27:14):
like Mahomes brother starts tweeting some stuff at halftime and
he has to leave the game to go tell him
to stop tweeting, and he doesn't play in the second half,
and that's how they wind up winning. And then the
wife starts tweeting about the ref and then we stop
has it out for? Has it out for? Yeah, I
mean that's that's all the all the silly kind of
(27:35):
things that go on. But you know, maybe Zach Wilson
will show up and I didn't want to challenge look
at that with the basic My favorite story was the
headline to Day It's aw about veterans questioning Zach Wilson's
work habits. Really, that's a shocker. No, we didn't see
(27:57):
that at all during the regular season. Yeah, I mean,
he was putting in so much effort and so much
work to learn the offense and be on top of
this game. Couldn't It wasn't that obvious from the way
he played this year. That's why they didn't have to
source it to anybody. You just say anonymous people told
me this, and you're write whatever the hell you want. Well,
pretty much, here's what I can tell you. I saw this,
(28:20):
and all the fans are like, yes, that a way
we watched. You just wait until it's Lamar Jackson playing
quarterback for the Jets next year. You just wait, all
of you, Jess, I'm waiting j Jacole. He's on Twitter
at Jason coul sixty two. That is, at Jason Coles
sixty two. I'm much like Richard driving by the way.
(28:44):
Why does the why does the offensive coordinator take a
hit for that one? Well, because it's two years the
system is bad and it didn't work well. The bigger
question is why did why did a third the league
the quarterback was terrible? Like well, when the wide receiver
tells him to go blank himself in practice, I don't
know that one of them can't stay, Jacoble. One of
(29:07):
them's gotta gotta go. No, not necessarily. That stuff happens
all the time on football teams. Just a lot happened
a lot more than you think. We just hear about
it more with teams like the Jets. Oh, I mean
Dan Marino with Gary Stephens. Gary Stephens an offensive ordinaire forever,
and amount of times that Marino would walk into a meeting,
look at the look at the the the game sheet,
(29:32):
the game plan and goes, this is the same stupid
stuff you have last week And then like, throw it
at him and walk out. I mean that's what happened.
I mean, and it was much more, much more invective.
Let's just put it that way in his tone, which
you know, we'd get you guys in trouble with the FCC.
But nonetheless, Dan Maria would look at the game plan
(29:55):
and go, you know, basically this sucks and throw it
back at Gary Stephens. But Danny, Danny, take it easy, buddy.
We'll talk to you next week. Damn On Danny, Danny, Danny, Danny. Yeah.

dot com. Well, absolute craziness going on at the Crypt
between the Grizzlies and the Lakers tonight. As the buzzer
sounded for the second quarter, Shannon Sharp, Fox Sports commentator
to see him an undisputed Pro Football Hall of Famer,
got into it with many members of the men Fizz Grizzlies.
(31:01):
There was a shouting match and there was a lot
of back and forth between Shannon Sharp and Team Morant
John Morant's dad. Uh, the sides had to be separated.
Was all going on on the court to be to
be honest, and it is exciting that we've at least
escalated towards not It looks like he was fighting with
Usher on the silence, So I mean that's a positive stand. Yeah,
(31:23):
because it does look like Usher. He's he does Team
Marian does look like Usher. You've got the sunglasses everything.
Uh So what happened? Oh, we heard Steve de Seger
a few minutes ago play the quote Shannon Sharp has
been critical of the Memphis Grizzlies and now gets into
a shouting match with different members of the team. He
talked to ESPNS Dave mcmenham in the Games and ESPN
(31:43):
game it's, you know, one of the reasons why this
whole thing is blowing up right now, And David Meneman
asked him, Hey, Shannon, what happened and here's the direct
quote from Shannon Sharp quote. They didn't want this smoke,
Dave that talk. They do all that talking and jockeing,
and I ain't about that hockeying. It started with Dylan Brooks.
I said he was too small to guard Lebron. He said,
(32:05):
blank me. I said, blank you back. He started to
come at me and I said, you don't want these problems.
And then Jah came out of nowhere talking. He definitely
didn't want these problems. Then the dad came and he
obviously didn't want no problems, but I wanted anything they had.
Don't let these fools fool you now. And this is
this is what happened. They had to be separated, taking off.
(32:25):
Shannon Sharp was in the tunnel for halftime. He was
brought back out for the second half. Now, couple, you
gotta be an ass I want. I gotta say this.
I don't think that Shannon Sharp is being truthfully here.
He said he was into with Dylan Brooks and they
were going back and forth with each other, and he said,
you don't want these problems. John Moran comes out, you
don't want these problems. Then Team Moran comes out. No,
(32:46):
obviously they didn't want these problems. I think that the
fact they all came out and said this, they all want,
these Adams want what do you think the odds are?
Because this is my big thing. What do you think
the odds are? Now? Just think this for se And
this is where I'm gonna blow your mind that this was,
this is going to be. This was a night they
were filming Undisputed the movie. Oh nice, and all right,
(33:11):
I'm gonna need to make a scene here. Yeah, people
didn't know it, but they're filming Undisputed the movie. And
this is this is like come down from the rafters
like Sting comes out like spart Man, like toward Stern
did at the MTV Movie Awards all those years ago.
I mean, this is this is insane. I mean it's
like an episode of Undisputed. But it's at the Laker
(33:33):
game and keeping talking a lot and look, well we've
both talked about it for a long time about how
Memphis has the act like we've already done it when
they haven't. And there there's something to be said for that.
You gotta you gotta get that swagger before you can
can get to that next level. Right, it's the you know,
confident versus cocky conversation we have with quarterbacks all the time.
(33:57):
But you can say that on your your TV show.
But to show up at the arena and start being
an ass and trying to antagonize, guy, what the hell's
that this is? You don't want to smoke? We'll have
more on this story coming up next as well as
our NFL playoff preview, will pick more games coming up
this weekend. Is there an upset to be had? But yes,
(34:18):
we'll bring you this smoke. You want this smoke, We
got it for you right here. We're just getting going here.
We're at halftime tonight, second half of the show coming
up next right here on Fox. Do you want to
play me one on one?
