Speaker 4 (01:18):
No, that's about it, okay, I.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Think, Yeah, just News Desk Sundays with you Are Pod
tomorrow night. Yeah, that pretty much does it.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Thing with the guy in the place, all of those things.
We got a lot of NFL action coming up. About
fifteen minutes from now, we'll talk to our guy Jason Cole,
take a spin around the league, some of the labor
strife and guys that aren't in camp, some of the
wilding going on by NFL owners and what they've had
to say when they hit the microphones as training camps
get underway.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I do have something to add Monty and I next
week TBD. But I think we're gonna be getting together
in a couple couple of fill in shows.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
See there you go. Yep, that's tease ahead. And if
it doesn't happen, he said it on here, so now.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
It's all He'm a liar. You have a liar, Just like.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
That, Just like that, Dad that you thought, you know,
at the soccer thing, right, you know that you're like,
Harmon's just Harmon's being honest.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And then plans changed, and always like I may look
like a liar.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
No, that's okay.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I can wear it because I think I could take it,
So that's okay. Yeah, the behind the scenes, it really
does come at you fast. You think you're telling the truth,
and then you know, with through no fault of your own,
circumstances change.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
And then it's worse when you try to explain why
you aren't a liar, because then you like look even
more guilty, so you just just better to leave it.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Lie.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
No, that's when you fake an illness in sitcom world,
that's where you fake the heart attack. No matter what
I mean. It was Sanford and Son, it was Keg
of Queens. Everybody had some sort.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Of corn air issue.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You're thinking of effort in right now, sitting in the
ambulance twiddling his thumbs as leea remedy is staring at
him and getting ready to hit him with frying pan.
All right, as we continue, we've got more NFL action,
and there's all these little subplots from team to team.
I'm looking at Louisiana sports dot Net from a couple
of weeks ago. This is from sports Betting Age. The
(03:14):
second favorite on the board for the first NFL coach
to be fired Mike McDaniel of your Miami Dolphins. He
sits at five to one, behind the last hours subject
of consternation and debate Brian Dable, who is at four
to one. They lead the clubhouse ahead of Shane Steichen
sitting at six to one.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Guess what.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We got a story about that a little bit later on.
But we've got in camp going back to last year,
a question of Tyreek Hill at the end of the year,
took himself out of their regular season finale and then
when asked by reporters what's going on, just said, I'm out,
all right done, here's the deuces. We're calling it quits.
(03:55):
And so there was a lot of people trying to answer,
people trying to understand is he tried trying to force
a trade, trying to force his way out. We had
some rumors like, oh, he may end up back in
Kansas City like you name it. There were rumors all
across the board. So as they get back into training camp,
you've got Hill to a degree, trying to clear the
(04:17):
air and speak his piece, but to a tongue of
Alowa naturally, trying to make sure he's got a connection
with his number one weapon. Because Jalen Waddle had a
down season as well, the offense sputtered, McDaniel was no
longer the shiny new penny, and people wondering if the
lights of the NFL were too bright for this guy,
(04:37):
and well now too, I had to address this.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
It's still a work in progress, not just for me
but for everybody. But now, like I said, he's working
on himself. He's working on the things that he say.
You know, he says he wants to get better with
and do better on. So that's the first step to me,
and so I commend him for doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
So Tyreek Hill publicly apologized during Super Bowl weekend and
in calling to his guy to add it on. Look,
everybody makes mistakes. Some people that are in the spotlight
and their deals get pushed out more than some others.
So you've got to cut him some grace. That's our teammate.
We love him, but as a person, I think if
you get to know him, you'll love him too. You know,
let's let's just sell if I can change, you can
(05:18):
change whatever. But all of that is, by the way, Yeah,
it's you know, I can change, you can change. We
can all try to get along. You've got a locker
room and to a subject of his own questions. Right,
he's gotten past some of the health issues, whether it
was the barrel roles in whatever he was learning in
taekwondo that helped him stay on the field, he was available,
(05:43):
but the questions remain of whether he's a guy that
was an A to B had a nice run, or
whether he can accelerate to the next level. We'll talk
fantasy running backs the end of next hour, but devon
h Chan for all of the problems you had in Miami,
he was the number five fantasy running back on the
strength of a couple of really huge days and the
(06:03):
number of split backfields that we've got across the league.
But we'll get to that later on. But by the way,
you've still got a very a viable asset to give
you balance and force in your offense if you can
pull it off. But you also lose a big piece
and your tight end who goes up the coast. Yeah,
and now you're trying to figure out how to mend
(06:25):
fences with Tyreek Hill and how to best deploy him,
and whether Mike McDaniel was a great thought. But now
that it's year two, year three, he's been figured out.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I think I actually think McDaniel has been a success.
Now that doesn't mean he's going to keep his job,
and it doesn't mean that the Dolphins are going to
be any good, but I think like his goal was
to try to fix to A, try to make to
A into a dangerous starting quarterback, and there are at
times he was. And we've also found out that there
(06:56):
are limitations to what you can do. And what I
find so intriguing about this Tyreek Hill stuff, Mike is
Tyreek Hill's numbers were down last year, and that is
an understatement. They were half of what they basically were
from the year prior. I remember Week one now for
some reason, like week ones always stand up in your mind.
(07:17):
Remember the Jaguars are about to score a touchdown, Travis
etn get stripped of the football, I get the goal
line as he's about to walk in for Jacksonville. Dolphins
recover the fumble, turn around an eighty yard bomb and
believe to Tyree Hill and the end of the game,
Dolphins end up winning, and you're like, man, what a
heartbreak from Miami. Tyreek Hill's longest past reception after that
(07:39):
eighty yard or at Week one was thirty yards, So
either they figured two out or Tyreek Hill may not
have it anymore. And I think that that's a legitimate question.
Thirty one years of age, there's some miles on it.
Obviously that Week one was talked about more about what
Tyreek Kill was doing prior to the game.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
But I mean, the fact is is we're gonna we're gonna.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Blame We're gonna blame to on a lot of this,
and it's funny that two is the one that's got
to do the talking when I'm not even sure if
Tyreek Hill has it anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well, but the tough part.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Dan is when I mentioned not by name, but like
he was Voldemort or something. John new Smith eighty eight catches,
eight touchdowns. Maybe two had just improved as a quarterback,
sure and just wasn't trying to force feed Tyreek Kill
the ball. Now it's to their detriment and overall win
loss total in terms of therek that explosiveness. But the
(08:38):
old take what the defense is gonna give you. Johnny
Smith piled up eighty eight catches for eight hundred and
eighty four yards with his eight touchdowns. Keep them chains
moving right, stay on the field. The big explosive plays
went away. But what happens if you have a big
explosive receiver. We've seen it time and time again. They're
not getting the ball and you're not trying to force
(08:59):
feed operation shut down. Go back to Randy Moss before
he joined Sure, joined the Patriots, when he was exiled
to Oakland.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
What did he do? He pouted?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yes, he pouted, He disappeared, and there were games where
he was literally he did who was it the DJ
Moore thing? Yeah, I'm just getting off the field right.
What he did with the Bears, like, yeah, this play
is over, I'm out, Randy Moss. There were plenty of
instances of that. Suddenly Tom Brady's out there chucking the
ball down field to him.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Guess what, boom, Let's.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Go back, And sometimes guys do it if they don't
have it anymore. The point that I'm bringing up, and
I'm not saying that Tyrey kill is done, but these
numbers are drastic, sure, and there is a scenario where
the Dolphins could be according to the odds of McDaniel,
but also if you look at their roster and what
(09:47):
they have, they could be the worst team in the NFL.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
Now.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I think a lot of us feel that the Saints
maybe are destined for that because of their quarterback position.
But if things don't go right, you could see it
things spiral down on my and look for a fresh
start all over the place. In twenty twenty six, But
did teams just figure out Tyreek Hill maybe you know,
which is then allowed to to throw it to eight
chan and dump it off to John Husmith the whole time,
(10:13):
Like that's part of the equation as well. We give
so much flak the TUOA about this, but the numbers
for Tyreek Hill were just significantly down. I mean we're
talking thirteen touchdowns in twenty twenty three, six and twenty
twenty four, almost eighteen hundred yards in twenty twenty three.
He didn't crack one thousand in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, your point on the explosiveness, because think also he
didn't get to one thousand.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
He had eighty of them on that one play.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yes, yes, right, I mean that's the mind boggling piece
to it all, because it's not like he missed multiple
games over the course of the season to where it
would have been a detriment there Right now, if you
look to the odds makers, the Browns have the lowest
wind total, tied with the Saints at five and a half.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
The Titans are right down there with them.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Unfortunately, we'll not get to see Will Levis try to
throw a football over the mountain this year. Cam Ward
good Luck and the Giants also have found their way
down to five and a half win as we talked
about earlier. So you got five teams at the bottom
ahead of the Jets, Panthers, and the Raiders are curious.
I've seen them six and a half in some spots,
seven and a half in others, and then Miami's in
(11:20):
that next half.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Who they're at seven or seven and a half?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Sure two is saying all the right things, and I
think you're you know, the way that you YadA YadA
YadA did is is about right. So now it's too
answering about Tyreek Hill's trust and so it's on to
his shoulders again. I just two has had a lot
on his shoulders, fairly or unfairly like he's carried it
a lot in addition to his play, his health and
(11:46):
all that. And so the last thing that he needs
to do is figure out if Tyreek Hills, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Is he all in want to play football?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Yes, I mean he admitted that he heard the conversations
that they had previously. But I just yeah, I I
this is not the way I would want to start
in off season. And Tuat isn't saying anything wrong, and
Tyreek Hill isn't saying anything wrong. But if we're at
this point, I don't know, maybe it's maybe it's just
(12:14):
preseason fodder that we're talking about, and it was maybe
it was a good question. Then two gave a good
answer about it. But if we're already starting with this, yikes.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But just remember, you know last year two stories that
that book ended the year because we also had that
moment and we'll get to the Colts in earnest a
little bit later, when Anthony Richardson said, Hey, I'm tired,
I got to.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Come out right.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You got you guys, you face your franchise, and one
of the top names at a position that more or
less just said hey, I'm out right, I got a tap.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
How about this, Mike. What we've seen is Aaron Rodgers
working out with Steelers wide receivers. We've seen other quarterbacks
get their guys together and work in the off season.
How is it that the Dolphins show up at training
camp and now Tyreek Hill is trying to earn everybody's
trust back. Wouldn't you be doing that in throwing sessions
with two of this offseason?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It seems like you'd be throwing with him, be hosting
picnics parties, barbecue years, yeah, doing something whatever to say, hey,
I'm still a member of this team.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And this goes again to Greer and Mike McDaniel trying
to run this ship, which is why maybe they're that
close in the betting odds to working the playing.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I really like Mike McDaniel, I really do, and I
would love to see him in a different situation with
a quarterback that you really could have fun with. I
think that I I ultimately, I think that they've maxed
out in Miami and I don't see a way out
of it. But at some point I'd love to see
him get another chance somewhere because I think that for
(13:44):
what he did in his first couple of years with
the Dolphins.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It could be really, really good.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well to the point that your play calling and play
sheet might be compromised based on to his past. Sure
as to how much you can potentially expose him in
play calls. You know, trust that he gets out of
there unscathed. He's Dan Byer in for Jason Smith. I'm

Cole sixty two on Twitter. Hey, buddy, I was waiting roundup.
(16:56):
We didn't get it.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Screw that up. It's okay, Well I.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Didn't filibuster enough. No, there we take you the man
of the place. He's got a big deal. I don't know,
I said, all your CV.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Well, here's my question. Shouldn't we be playing like eight
miles of dictation to Smith since he's in Detroit or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I mean, he's not here. I've staged a bloodless coup.
I'm the captain now.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Yeah. Yeah, so or maybe maybe do we do Bob
Seeger or Kid Rock? Which would which would be the
Michigan Flash Detroit star that you would pick?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That's a good question. We should probably put it up
as a pole question.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Yeah, I would. I would think so because you you know,
you got all the motown.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Yeah, so this is important. What is he actually doing
in Detroit? And this is the annual this is the
annual Detroit vacation.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, instead of going during the holidays. Uh, He's we
finally got him to move it to the summer.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
I tabbed it Jason Smith in the Mitten. I think
that that like rolls off the tongue very well. And
I think that he needs to take more advantage of Smith.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Yeah, but that that sounds like like a serious dad joke.
It really does.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I think it's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
It's not bad Smith in the Minton. It's not bad,
but it is it's got dad joke jokish, but that's
okay to do.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
He's a dad, My dad, you're dead, I am.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, so we got that flowing.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Uh, what do we need to know about the National
Football League?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Well, how long will Joe Burrow have to put up
eighty five points a game because his top defensive pass
rushers aren't there?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Seven years?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Seven more years? All right, he's gone and he's a mirror.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
This is this is the Cincinnati Bengals we're talking about.
They do not know how to take advantage of a
good thing. You've been handed one of the great quarterbacks
in the game, and it's like, oh yeah, let's play
you know, let's short our best defensive player and let's
play games with our draft picks. That's that's clever and
(19:13):
I love that. I love the logic from the other
day about the draft pick, which was, what if he
gets arrested? If you think this guy's going to get arrested,
or has that higher propensity to get arrested. Why did
you take him in the second round? Just ask him
that question. Why, if he's such a risk, if he's
such a bad guy, why would you draft him in
(19:35):
the second round? Just just curious, Mike Brown, can you
answer that one for me?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Did the answer?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
I can? No? I yeah, it's it is kind of
a rhetorical question, but it's not as good as Smith.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
In the midt What what is more egregious though?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Is it that?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Is it the not getting the Trey Hendrickson deal done
or having Sam Stewart's still not be signed.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Hendrickson because he's actually a great player and he's proven
it and he deserves to get paid. Like, there's nobody,
there's nobody in that locker room who who would sit there,
and probably nobody around the league who would say that
guy doesn't deserve to get paid and that you can't
build around him, because you build around guys like that.
You know, defensive, the defensive lineman, defensive end our gold.
(20:25):
You have to have them. They change games. It's it's
as simple as that. They are. They are ahead of
only cornerbacks in terms of defensive importance. You know, now
if you have a great defensive tackle who can also
rest to the passer and disrupt. Say you have the
Aaron donald type, then that can trump an edge guy,
(20:49):
but only occasionally. You got to have you case. You
have to have a defensive tackle who can produce twelve, thirteen,
fourteen sacks you know every year, or has that kind
of potential. See, you know you're talking Warren Sapps, You're
talking to Aaron Donalds. You're talking about pure Hall of
Fame guys.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
And Domakin sue like he was saying he should have
been paid more than Matthew Stafford the other day.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
So you got all of that.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
Yeah, you actually have to touch the quarterback though, and
and Dominic generally just wrestled with offensive lineman. This is
why to beat them up.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Literally at times, no question about it.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Jason Collar guests here, Jason Smith show with me, Mike Harmon, No,
Jason Smith and I Dan Byer in his stead. So
Mike Brown had his press conference and all that fun.
And then Jerry Jones our favorite, he's at it again
with Micah Parsons. Can we just get to the end
of the night dance where it's last chance and these
guys just sidle up to each other and get done
(21:46):
with it, because you know he's.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Got to pay on.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Just do it.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Yeah, there's a fast four round head here, and there's
some games in the ship. But this is this is
Jerry just playing the role that hey, look at me,
I'm so great and let's get the attention. So let's
generate some more attention out of this, which again it
goes back to his mantra there's no news, there's nothing.
(22:14):
There's no bad news out there, you know, there's no
bad publicity. And it's just like no, because this is
the kind of news that aggravates your players and it
makes your players ask if that dude can't get paid.
It's the same thing with Hendrickson. If that dude can't
get paid, who does get paid? And what do you
have to do to get and do I have to endure?
(22:35):
This is again make me nervous all the time. It's just,
you know, it's distraction for distraction's sake. Although I had
this thought today if he's trying to get the rights
to the Mica Bees, which would be like the Maccabi's
like wow, right, yeah, because you're getting the whole Ethnic
(22:55):
Athletic Association kind of thing, and you're just kind of
crossing over into the mccabies. You know, I think this
is brilliant by Jerry. So it's the Mica Bees.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
In the end, does Michael Parsons care because he's going
to get paid?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Like we can say, players are ticked.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Off asking the serious questions.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I just came, hey, hey, I'll tell you what you
got off on? Ad Hey will you?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Will you?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
You shot down my smith in the minton like you
wouldn't believe, and you can't handle that.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
I mean, come on, with Mica Bees, it's the it's
a cowboy it's a news strain of cowboy bees.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
The cowboy bees is a log see Dan preppy to
that part though, the cowboy bees merchandizing of years past.
It's a new year, it's a new it's a new
annual output here.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
They're faster, they're faster and quicker bees. They don't pivot
play the run particularly well, but they're faster and quicker bees.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's a long, long run with Jerry Jones, no question
about it. Here we were talking a little bit about
Miami Mike, Mike McDaniel. What's your overall evaluation of him
as a coach. Does he just need a different quarterback
to build with? How does this play out as to
and Tyreek Hill and well, a team trying to get
(24:15):
back on that, you know, don't.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
You get the kind of the the feeling that you know,
like you like McDaniel personally, but he's kind of like
a likable version of Chip Kelly where you're just playing
this BS offense that's wide open, that can't really run
the ball officially, can't control games. It'll produce a lot
(24:37):
of points, it'll be interesting to watch, it'll be fine,
they'll be really entertaining, but it's not really winning football. Now.
They have a presoft schedule if I remember in the
first five weeks, I don't have it up in front
of me, so they have a chance to kind of
spring that to a good start. But they would be
really good because I think they have like three cold
(24:57):
weather games in the last six weeks. I mean, it's
or some really tough schedule that you just kind of
look at and go, you better have built up a
bunch of wins before you get to that stretch. But yeah,
like I like mit Daniel and I want him to
succeed because he's fun and he's interesting. But the offense
(25:18):
is I don't believe. I really don't believe in the
offense being a title winning offense. And it may be
more about the quarterback than it is the offense. But
even though the forty nine ers have come close to
winning it with theoretically the same offense, it's only theoretically
the same offense. In practice it looks more like Chip Kelly, like,
(25:42):
let's just you know, let's chuck and duck, you know,
like just throw it around and make sure that Tua
doesn't get hurt. But you know two is going to
get hurt. It's just it's just going to happen.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Mike and I were just talking about to having to
talk about Tyreek Hill and building trust. If you're talking
about building building trust in the first day of training,
first days of training camp with your veteran receivers, is
that a sign of Is that a bad sign entering
the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Well, it's not promising. But I'll also get this, like,
who's he going to throw it?
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Totty Smith left because they didn't want to pay him.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Yeah, yeah, I mean we're going to throw the ball
more to waddle. I mean, like when you when you
drop back and you say, which dude's open, you go
look at Tyreek. That dude's going to be open, right,
So Tyreek's still going to get the ball playing and
he catches it and he doesn't. I mean, he's a
dangerous dude. He's a border borderline Hall of famer, probably
(26:43):
a Hall of Famer at some point. But you know,
that's gonna be a tough argument because of all the
wide receivers who generate numbers, but like, this is a
singularly special player who's been able to maintain his speed
and ability for so long. At the end of the day,
it's sort of like the Oakland A's in the nineteen seventies.
(27:06):
They really didn't get along that well, but they played
hard on the field. They they got along, like they
literally punched each other in the lock in the locker
room and you know, in the clubhouts and in the dugout.
But then they went won three straight championships. Like like,
I think you kind of have to look at it
and say, that's what two is going to do. He
(27:27):
may not like throwing the ball to Tyreek. He may
not like Tyreek, but it's like that dude's open.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
You're getting on me for dad jokes, and you're referencing
the nineteen seventy as Cole like, come on, like.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
What are we what are we doing here?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Bill North? Now, that's just it's just so weak, it's
just so verbal. Like I know, but but I can
go from Mica bees to the steps trees. I'm showing.
I am showing rains.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
That is a good at a lot of.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Tremendous range here. I am like Ozzie Smith. Baby, That's
that's the kind of range that I have.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
All Right, you were great in the field and occasionally
you hit all right, now the.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Which is true, It's actually true.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
So let me pull this back in in the NFL
world as a whole. Remember, we are need to be
FCC compliant. So you're gonna have to go into your
thesaurus and dictionary and pull out if I were to
just say, Jason Cole, give me like I'm a five
year old, you're descriptor of the current situation with the NFLPA.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
I think Wayne Johnson said it all. He said today, Yeah, no,
you can't say that. I can't say that. I can't
say it. We've known this for seventeen years. I mean,
just go back to when they elected Demorris Smith. This
is this is a great this is a great story
that somebody told me the other day that it was
(29:03):
year it was twenty eleven. De Smith was in his
like third or fourth year, right, and he was in
he was out. Let's just say he was out on
the road. I don't want to narrow it. And he
met up with this agent and this agent had one
of his players with him, and the player was a
backup player who was a free agent or about to
(29:26):
be a free agent. Yeah. Nice nice guy, nice player,
but you know, just a backup. And so they got
into the discussion, Oh, you're going to be a free agent,
and he said are they going to franchise you? And
the agent kind of looks and goes just thought to himself,
(29:47):
we have no chance. He was like in in year
four and he didn't understand what the franchise tag was.
He also didn't understand like this is not used on backup.
He didn't understand who the player was he was talking about.
And this has just gone and gotten worse and worse
and worse, and more games to play. I actually think
(30:10):
that this is when we step back from this, this
is actually going to be a really healthy thing. It's
like it's like a really violent cleansing. It's like taking
you know, pepto bismol for seven straight days and seeing,
you know, what the what the results are and then
adding like brand on top of it. This is what
(30:32):
this is kind of what the NFLP is going through.
But I think that the end result has a chance
to be really great because they'll get back to the
fundamental things they need to have, which is player leadership
and players paying attention. And so, yeah, they're going to
have to live through you know what Pat McAfee has said,
(30:52):
which was vicious, what Lane Johnson said, which was vicious
but accurate. Right, They're going to have to live through
all the embarrassment of their executive director. Not just the
fact that they broke the law, or broke union law
by not disclosing breaching, by breaching fiduciary responsibility, but not
(31:13):
giving players information that was critical to contract negotiations. Never
mind that, but the guy went to a strip club,
made the car wait for eight hours, and then expensed
it even though he's making three point four million dollars.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Yeah, I just don't think he gets enough credit for
being a good hang, you know, like I mean you
can rip him the strands.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Oh no, oh no, no no no. You talk to players,
they'll tell you that Lloyd was a good hang. They liked.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
He gets a lot of credit. If you talk to
guys off to the side, they're like, oh, yeah, he
was cool, he was a good hand. That's not what
you want for an executive director. But if you not it.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
But if you're expensing all sorts of stuff, you're thinking
I can get away with this, you know, extra plate
of chicken wings.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
At the strip club.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Well but yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
And an eight hour car service that you said.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Going going to Toutsys, which advertises itself as seventy six
thousand square feet of the largest strip club in the world.
And it was built it was built in a former
BJS appropriately BJ's distributorship. Okay, that's what it used to be.
(32:23):
It was one of the where it was one of
the warehouses for for BJ's discount.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
It's also seventy five percent the size of the Universal
Studios Hollywood Horror Nights.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
There's one, there's one to.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Go Horror okay nights, good lord, just trying to keep
it clean.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Here keeping it above board here like eating a spoonful
of draino. Sure it'll clean you out, but I'll lead
you hollow inside frank drabbing naked gun. Thanks Jason Cole,
you're a wonderful human being. Thanks for stopping at I'm.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
A great hang and my bagels at the Mego Bakery.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Yeah that, I'll shuffle up and deal and do that
right away. At Jason Goal sixty two. You can see
his latest work that he's doing. Uh yeah, he bought
a bagel place down in Florida. He's Dan Byron for
Jason Smith. Out Mike Carmon. Now it's downing to turn
it over to the news desk. See how Monty Bolano's
tops that.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I love Halloween horror nights.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
See there you go.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
Love horror, horror, horror, horror.
Speaker 11 (33:23):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
I'm gonna move on. Let's go to baseball.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
Let's talk about the best semen baseball.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Who's that Dan, the Milwaukee Brewer?
Speaker 3 (33:30):
That is correct? I sack over the last week.
Speaker 11 (33:33):
Sure, sure, but over the course of the season, the
Brewers have the best record in baseball right now, sixty
one and forty one. They had seventeen hits today as
they destroyed Seattle ten to two was the final score.
The Astros edge of the Diamondbacks forty three to complete
a three game sweep. The Pirates also completed a three
game sweep of the Tigers, coming out on top six
(33:54):
to one.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Earlier today, Justin Verlander.
Speaker 9 (33:56):
Got his first victory of this season.
Speaker 11 (33:58):
That is not a Typole Devers hit two home runs
in San Francisco's nine to three victory over Atlanta. The
Mets defeated the Angels six to three. They completed a
three games sweep as well. The Guardians edged the Orioles
three to two. Dodgers walked it off four to three
against the Twins. Thanks too and are a two rbi
single actually from Freddie Freeman. It doesn't matter the day,
(34:18):
Freddie Freeman will walk it off. Sho hey Otani also
homered for his fifth consecutive game, tying a Dodgers franchise record.
Yankee star Aaron Judge was the last player to homer
in five consecutive games.
Speaker 9 (34:30):
He did this last year.
Speaker 11 (34:31):
He homered today, but it was not enough, as the
Blue Jays outscored the Yankees eight to four. They now
have a four game lead on New York in the
Al East. The Red Sox were down five runs, made
a comeback beat Phillies in Philadelphia nine to eight and
eleven innings. The White Sox topped the Rays eleven to nine,
while the Rangers edged Thea's two to one. There is
a WNBA game going on right now. The dream are
(34:52):
on top of the Mercury seventy nine to sixty three
with about five.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Minutes to go in the game.
Speaker 11 (34:57):
But no surprise here if Fever star Kaitlin Clark has
been ruled out for tomorrow's game against the Las Vegas Aces.
And in the NFL today, the Jaguars said that Travis
Cunter is going to spend the first part of his
training camp exclusively on offense, but by the middle of
next week he's going to be practicing on both sides
of the.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Ball well, because they'll have the offense all figured out.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Back to you, guys, we'll.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Deal with the Jaguars coming up in about twenty minutes.
Thanks Manzi at Mancy Belagna is where you find her
in the twitterverse. You hear Sunday afternoons here on Fox
Sports Radio as well as with Dan as they traverse
the day's day parts so you just need to follow
their Twitter verse or just keep it locked on Fox
Sports Radio all the time. You're bound to run into
(35:41):
their voices or me yelling at you somewhere along the line.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Coming up next, we.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Talked fantasy rankings last hour. We'll do fantasy rankings in
another hour. But how about golf rankings and a legend
throwing up his hands and saying, it's a sham, it's
a travesty, and it's a mockery of everything that we do.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
What's that all about? We'll tell you.
Speaker 9 (36:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Welcome Back, and.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Fox Sports Radio Jason Switch Show with Me Mike Carmon.
No Jason Smith to night in Instead, it's Dan Byer
with me and Nan.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
We traverse to the wonderful world of golf.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
And one that just kind of stood up right over
the last few weeks. A lot of talk about Scottie Scheffler,
something you and I had started on the Sunday show,
just kind of talking about the mental space individual sports
versus team sports, and it's kind of spawned these last
couple of weeks. You can find the audio wherever you
download your podcasts, go rate it, give it five stars,
(36:45):
and then evangelize to friends and family. But the latest
is now a little bit pulled back in terms of
how rankings work. Lee Westwood tied for thirty fourth at
the Open Championship, vaulting a full thirty seven hundred spots
in the official World Golf ranking.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
So he's now at nine thirty.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
He's back ahead of his son, a Mini Tour player,
who's at twenty seven fifty nine. But just talking about
the rankings as a whole quote, I just think it
proves without World ranking points.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
It makes it a bit of a mockery of.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
The system, he said ahead of this week's live golf
event in the UK. And it comes after the league's
applying for reapplying for submission to the World rankings last
month currently under review. But since going back to July
of twenty twenty two, you've got this divide and then
(37:42):
trying to figure out because it all comes back to
sponsorship dollars and buy in and everything else.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Right, how good are you? I'll, I don't have a
real rank.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
I remember what was doing a handicap tracker many years
ago at Yahoo and trying to fight about getting that
algorithm and everything correct. Did we get this right for
this course and working with folks, and how contentious that was.
I can only imagine golfer and golfer sponsor to sponsor
and the tour itself trying to prove worth.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
Well it shouldn't it shouldn't be to Lee Westwood, Lee
Westwood knew exactly what was happening when he signed up
for it. Lee Westwood was one of the many golfers
who were in the sunset of their careers who took
the money and ran to live golf.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
That's what it is. And I have zero sympathy.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
For them getting or not getting world ranking points because
that was the deal when they signed up. They only
play in fifty four hole events. I don't care if
you have the twenty best players in the world. There
is criteria that you have to abide by to get
those world ranking points. The association that you have joined,
(38:47):
that has paid you an ungodly amount of money to play,
did not want to abide by those rules, no matter
how ridiculous they may be.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
So just because you're able.
Speaker 5 (38:58):
To get into the Open Chamirampionship, qualify for the Open
Championship and play in the event, and finish in a
spot where you move up what sixteen hundred spots.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Or whatever it was, just tells you.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
Yeah, the reason why he fell so much is because
he hasn't played in any of those events.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
He hasn't played in majors.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
Because of his age, and because there are fewer opportunities
to qualify, very few opportunities to qualify and live. However, Mike,
if you're a top player, you're still being able to
play in these majors. They're trying to open up certain
roads for it. But to sit there and call the
official World rankings a joke because your organization doesn't get
points for it, knowing that the format that you set
(39:38):
up does not abide by those rules, to me, is
just grossly inaccurate. It's a lie, it's hypocritical, it's all
of that rolled into one, and I'm just I'm done
with the argument. Trey Hendrickson, you could use this. Trey
Hendrickson signed a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals. He signed
a contract, and there are people who will say you
signed the contract. Play with what your contract is. I
(40:00):
know There's a lot more that comes with it. But ultimately,
if you're the Cincinnati Bengals, you can say, you sign
this deal. We gave you this money up front for
this reason that you got and now the back end
of it is happening. You knew the deal when you
took it, and it's not really different than live golf
in the Official World Golf Rankings. They just felt that
they could get enough good players into their circuit that
(40:22):
the Official World Golf Rankings would have to change. No,
they don't. They don't have to change because of that.
You made the beg you're sleeping in zero sympathy, No.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Just that curiosity of how much that really matters to you.
It's curious, is he just being the mouthpiece for the
organization in this particular standing, or is it truly a
personal thing. I want my ranking, you getting the money, right.
We've talked about this a lot. In the end, given
the choice, I don't know how easily I would have
(40:52):
said I don't want the money, right. I mean, if
suddenly someone's coming with, yeah, gobs of cash your way.
But yeah, it does come with the responsibility of knowing.
You also might have signed thinking that the inevitability of
it was going to collapse and it would fold back
in nice and easily. So it's like, wait, I can
get paid and this gonna happened. But while there's still
(41:12):
that divide, and there's still this reapplication process that has
not been rubber stamped or.
Speaker 5 (41:18):
They've tried to yeah, they've tried to make they've tried
to sign up with other events and it's been this,
but that it still doesn't matter. You knew what was happening,
and so all those other things are just wishing and
hoping you knew what this was about. And I don't
even like, I don't even blame Brooks Koepka as much
as I'm not a fan of lift golf even in
a minute. He's like, I've battled injuries and I had
(41:38):
no idea how long my career was gonna last. Lee Westwood,
Ian Poulter, other players were at the sunset of their careers.
So they took the money and ran. Sorry, zero sympathy, none, none, whatsoever.
I'll take the money even Sure, well there's young guys
as well, you know that, but their world rankings are effective.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
But as we always say, hope is not a strategy
on this show.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
As we continue, we'll go back into the world of
the National Football League, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and a quiz
that the

Speaker 5 (01:21):
Think, Yeah, just News Desk Sundays with you Are Pod
tomorrow night. Yeah, that pretty much does it.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Thing with the guy in the place, all of those things.
We got a lot of NFL action coming up. About
fifteen minutes from now, we'll talk to our guy Jason Cole,
take a spin around the league, some of the labor
strife and guys that aren't in camp, some of the
wilding going on by NFL owners and what they've had
to say when they hit the microphones as training camps
get underway.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I do have something to add Monty and I next
week TBD. But I think we're gonna be getting together
in a couple couple of fill in shows.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
See there you go. Yep, that's tease ahead. And if
it doesn't happen, he said it on here, so now.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
It's all He'm a liar. You have a liar, Just like.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
That, Just like that, Dad that you thought, you know,
at the soccer thing, right, you know that you're like,
Harmon's just Harmon's being honest.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And then plans changed, and always like I may look
like a liar.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
No, that's okay.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I can wear it because I think I could take it,
So that's okay. Yeah, the behind the scenes, it really
does come at you fast. You think you're telling the truth,
and then you know, with through no fault of your own,
circumstances change.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
And then it's worse when you try to explain why
you aren't a liar, because then you like look even
more guilty, so you just just better to leave it.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Lie.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
No, that's when you fake an illness in sitcom world,
that's where you fake the heart attack. No matter what
I mean. It was Sanford and Son, it was Keg
of Queens. Everybody had some sort.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Of corn air issue.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You're thinking of effort in right now, sitting in the
ambulance twiddling his thumbs as leea remedy is staring at
him and getting ready to hit him with frying pan.
All right, as we continue, we've got more NFL action,
and there's all these little subplots from team to team.
I'm looking at Louisiana sports dot Net from a couple
of weeks ago. This is from sports Betting Age. The
(03:14):
second favorite on the board for the first NFL coach
to be fired Mike McDaniel of your Miami Dolphins. He
sits at five to one, behind the last hours subject
of consternation and debate Brian Dable, who is at four
to one. They lead the clubhouse ahead of Shane Steichen
sitting at six to one.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Guess what.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We got a story about that a little bit later on.
But we've got in camp going back to last year,
a question of Tyreek Hill at the end of the year,
took himself out of their regular season finale and then
when asked by reporters what's going on, just said, I'm out,
all right done, here's the deuces. We're calling it quits.
(03:55):
And so there was a lot of people trying to answer,
people trying to understand is he tried trying to force
a trade, trying to force his way out. We had
some rumors like, oh, he may end up back in
Kansas City like you name it. There were rumors all
across the board. So as they get back into training camp,
you've got Hill to a degree, trying to clear the
(04:17):
air and speak his piece, but to a tongue of
Alowa naturally, trying to make sure he's got a connection
with his number one weapon. Because Jalen Waddle had a
down season as well, the offense sputtered, McDaniel was no
longer the shiny new penny, and people wondering if the
lights of the NFL were too bright for this guy,
(04:37):
and well now too, I had to address this.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
It's still a work in progress, not just for me
but for everybody. But now, like I said, he's working
on himself. He's working on the things that he say.
You know, he says he wants to get better with
and do better on. So that's the first step to me,
and so I commend him for doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
So Tyreek Hill publicly apologized during Super Bowl weekend and
in calling to his guy to add it on. Look,
everybody makes mistakes. Some people that are in the spotlight
and their deals get pushed out more than some others.
So you've got to cut him some grace. That's our teammate.
We love him, but as a person, I think if
you get to know him, you'll love him too. You know,
let's let's just sell if I can change, you can
(05:18):
change whatever. But all of that is, by the way, Yeah,
it's you know, I can change, you can change. We
can all try to get along. You've got a locker
room and to a subject of his own questions. Right,
he's gotten past some of the health issues, whether it
was the barrel roles in whatever he was learning in
taekwondo that helped him stay on the field, he was available,
(05:43):
but the questions remain of whether he's a guy that
was an A to B had a nice run, or
whether he can accelerate to the next level. We'll talk
fantasy running backs the end of next hour, but devon
h Chan for all of the problems you had in Miami,
he was the number five fantasy running back on the
strength of a couple of really huge days and the
(06:03):
number of split backfields that we've got across the league.
But we'll get to that later on. But by the way,
you've still got a very a viable asset to give
you balance and force in your offense if you can
pull it off. But you also lose a big piece
and your tight end who goes up the coast. Yeah,
and now you're trying to figure out how to mend
(06:25):
fences with Tyreek Hill and how to best deploy him,
and whether Mike McDaniel was a great thought. But now
that it's year two, year three, he's been figured out.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I think I actually think McDaniel has been a success.
Now that doesn't mean he's going to keep his job,
and it doesn't mean that the Dolphins are going to
be any good, but I think like his goal was
to try to fix to A, try to make to
A into a dangerous starting quarterback, and there are at
times he was. And we've also found out that there
(06:56):
are limitations to what you can do. And what I
find so intriguing about this Tyreek Hill stuff, Mike is
Tyreek Hill's numbers were down last year, and that is
an understatement. They were half of what they basically were
from the year prior. I remember Week one now for
some reason, like week ones always stand up in your mind.
(07:17):
Remember the Jaguars are about to score a touchdown, Travis
etn get stripped of the football, I get the goal
line as he's about to walk in for Jacksonville. Dolphins
recover the fumble, turn around an eighty yard bomb and
believe to Tyree Hill and the end of the game,
Dolphins end up winning, and you're like, man, what a
heartbreak from Miami. Tyreek Hill's longest past reception after that
(07:39):
eighty yard or at Week one was thirty yards, So
either they figured two out or Tyreek Hill may not
have it anymore. And I think that that's a legitimate question.
Thirty one years of age, there's some miles on it.
Obviously that Week one was talked about more about what
Tyreek Kill was doing prior to the game.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
But I mean, the fact is is we're gonna we're gonna.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Blame We're gonna blame to on a lot of this,
and it's funny that two is the one that's got
to do the talking when I'm not even sure if
Tyreek Hill has it anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well, but the tough part.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Dan is when I mentioned not by name, but like
he was Voldemort or something. John new Smith eighty eight catches,
eight touchdowns. Maybe two had just improved as a quarterback,
sure and just wasn't trying to force feed Tyreek Kill
the ball. Now it's to their detriment and overall win
loss total in terms of therek that explosiveness. But the
(08:38):
old take what the defense is gonna give you. Johnny
Smith piled up eighty eight catches for eight hundred and
eighty four yards with his eight touchdowns. Keep them chains
moving right, stay on the field. The big explosive plays
went away. But what happens if you have a big
explosive receiver. We've seen it time and time again. They're
not getting the ball and you're not trying to force
(08:59):
feed operation shut down. Go back to Randy Moss before
he joined Sure, joined the Patriots, when he was exiled
to Oakland.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
What did he do? He pouted?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yes, he pouted, He disappeared, and there were games where
he was literally he did who was it the DJ
Moore thing? Yeah, I'm just getting off the field right.
What he did with the Bears, like, yeah, this play
is over, I'm out, Randy Moss. There were plenty of
instances of that. Suddenly Tom Brady's out there chucking the
ball down field to him.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Guess what, boom, Let's.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Go back, And sometimes guys do it if they don't
have it anymore. The point that I'm bringing up, and
I'm not saying that Tyrey kill is done, but these
numbers are drastic, sure, and there is a scenario where
the Dolphins could be according to the odds of McDaniel,
but also if you look at their roster and what
(09:47):
they have, they could be the worst team in the NFL.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
Now.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I think a lot of us feel that the Saints
maybe are destined for that because of their quarterback position.
But if things don't go right, you could see it
things spiral down on my and look for a fresh
start all over the place. In twenty twenty six, But
did teams just figure out Tyreek Hill maybe you know,
which is then allowed to to throw it to eight
chan and dump it off to John Husmith the whole time,
(10:13):
Like that's part of the equation as well. We give
so much flak the TUOA about this, but the numbers
for Tyreek Hill were just significantly down. I mean we're
talking thirteen touchdowns in twenty twenty three, six and twenty
twenty four, almost eighteen hundred yards in twenty twenty three.
He didn't crack one thousand in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, your point on the explosiveness, because think also he
didn't get to one thousand.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
He had eighty of them on that one play.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yes, yes, right, I mean that's the mind boggling piece
to it all, because it's not like he missed multiple
games over the course of the season to where it
would have been a detriment there Right now, if you
look to the odds makers, the Browns have the lowest
wind total, tied with the Saints at five and a half.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
The Titans are right down there with them.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Unfortunately, we'll not get to see Will Levis try to
throw a football over the mountain this year. Cam Ward
good Luck and the Giants also have found their way
down to five and a half win as we talked
about earlier. So you got five teams at the bottom
ahead of the Jets, Panthers, and the Raiders are curious.
I've seen them six and a half in some spots,
seven and a half in others, and then Miami's in
(11:20):
that next half.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Who they're at seven or seven and a half?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Sure two is saying all the right things, and I
think you're you know, the way that you YadA YadA
YadA did is is about right. So now it's too
answering about Tyreek Hill's trust and so it's on to
his shoulders again. I just two has had a lot
on his shoulders, fairly or unfairly like he's carried it
a lot in addition to his play, his health and
(11:46):
all that. And so the last thing that he needs
to do is figure out if Tyreek Hills, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Is he all in want to play football?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Yes, I mean he admitted that he heard the conversations
that they had previously. But I just yeah, I I
this is not the way I would want to start
in off season. And Tuat isn't saying anything wrong, and
Tyreek Hill isn't saying anything wrong. But if we're at
this point, I don't know, maybe it's maybe it's just
(12:14):
preseason fodder that we're talking about, and it was maybe
it was a good question. Then two gave a good
answer about it. But if we're already starting with this, yikes.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But just remember, you know last year two stories that
that book ended the year because we also had that
moment and we'll get to the Colts in earnest a
little bit later, when Anthony Richardson said, Hey, I'm tired,
I got to.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Come out right.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You got you guys, you face your franchise, and one
of the top names at a position that more or
less just said hey, I'm out right, I got a tap.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
How about this, Mike. What we've seen is Aaron Rodgers
working out with Steelers wide receivers. We've seen other quarterbacks
get their guys together and work in the off season.
How is it that the Dolphins show up at training
camp and now Tyreek Hill is trying to earn everybody's
trust back. Wouldn't you be doing that in throwing sessions
with two of this offseason?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It seems like you'd be throwing with him, be hosting
picnics parties, barbecue years, yeah, doing something whatever to say, hey,
I'm still a member of this team.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And this goes again to Greer and Mike McDaniel trying
to run this ship, which is why maybe they're that
close in the betting odds to working the playing.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I really like Mike McDaniel, I really do, and I
would love to see him in a different situation with
a quarterback that you really could have fun with. I
think that I I ultimately, I think that they've maxed
out in Miami and I don't see a way out
of it. But at some point I'd love to see
him get another chance somewhere because I think that for
(13:44):
what he did in his first couple of years with
the Dolphins.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It could be really, really good.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well to the point that your play calling and play
sheet might be compromised based on to his past. Sure
as to how much you can potentially expose him in
play calls. You know, trust that he gets out of
there unscathed. He's Dan Byer in for Jason Smith. I'm

And that's why we have a brand new podcast called

Mike Carbon Dan Byer with you know Jason Smith tonight.
Now I want to watch the video. I don't want
to talk to Jason Cole anymore. I want I want
to watch music videos. As we said here at Danbirol
in his own right right, It's it Jason Cole, no
question about. He's a powerful and attractive man on the

(16:36):
and Dan Byer on Fox. Our next guest, NFL Hall
of Fame voter, author of many books that you can

Cole sixty two on Twitter. Hey, buddy, I was waiting roundup.
(16:56):
We didn't get it.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Screw that up. It's okay, Well I.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Didn't filibuster enough. No, there we take you the man
of the place. He's got a big deal. I don't know,
I said, all your CV.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Well, here's my question. Shouldn't we be playing like eight
miles of dictation to Smith since he's in Detroit or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I mean, he's not here. I've staged a bloodless coup.
I'm the captain now.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Yeah. Yeah, so or maybe maybe do we do Bob
Seeger or Kid Rock? Which would which would be the
Michigan Flash Detroit star that you would pick?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That's a good question. We should probably put it up
as a pole question.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Yeah, I would. I would think so because you you know,
you got all the motown.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Yeah, so this is important. What is he actually doing
in Detroit? And this is the annual this is the
annual Detroit vacation.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, instead of going during the holidays. Uh, He's we
finally got him to move it to the summer.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
I tabbed it Jason Smith in the Mitten. I think
that that like rolls off the tongue very well. And
I think that he needs to take more advantage of Smith.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Yeah, but that that sounds like like a serious dad joke.
It really does.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I think it's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
It's not bad Smith in the Minton. It's not bad,
but it is it's got dad joke jokish, but that's
okay to do.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
He's a dad, My dad, you're dead, I am.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, so we got that flowing.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Uh, what do we need to know about the National
Football League?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Well, how long will Joe Burrow have to put up
eighty five points a game because his top defensive pass
rushers aren't there?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Seven years?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Seven more years? All right, he's gone and he's a mirror.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
This is this is the Cincinnati Bengals we're talking about.
They do not know how to take advantage of a
good thing. You've been handed one of the great quarterbacks
in the game, and it's like, oh yeah, let's play
you know, let's short our best defensive player and let's
play games with our draft picks. That's that's clever and
(19:13):
I love that. I love the logic from the other
day about the draft pick, which was, what if he
gets arrested? If you think this guy's going to get arrested,
or has that higher propensity to get arrested. Why did
you take him in the second round? Just ask him
that question. Why, if he's such a risk, if he's
such a bad guy, why would you draft him in
(19:35):
the second round? Just just curious, Mike Brown, can you
answer that one for me?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Did the answer?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
I can? No? I yeah, it's it is kind of
a rhetorical question, but it's not as good as Smith.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
In the midt What what is more egregious though?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Is it that?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Is it the not getting the Trey Hendrickson deal done
or having Sam Stewart's still not be signed.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Hendrickson because he's actually a great player and he's proven
it and he deserves to get paid. Like, there's nobody,
there's nobody in that locker room who who would sit there,
and probably nobody around the league who would say that
guy doesn't deserve to get paid and that you can't
build around him, because you build around guys like that.
You know, defensive, the defensive lineman, defensive end our gold.
(20:25):
You have to have them. They change games. It's it's
as simple as that. They are. They are ahead of
only cornerbacks in terms of defensive importance. You know, now
if you have a great defensive tackle who can also
rest to the passer and disrupt. Say you have the
Aaron donald type, then that can trump an edge guy,
(20:49):
but only occasionally. You got to have you case. You
have to have a defensive tackle who can produce twelve, thirteen,
fourteen sacks you know every year, or has that kind
of potential. See, you know you're talking Warren Sapps, You're
talking to Aaron Donalds. You're talking about pure Hall of
Fame guys.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
And Domakin sue like he was saying he should have
been paid more than Matthew Stafford the other day.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
So you got all of that.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
Yeah, you actually have to touch the quarterback though, and
and Dominic generally just wrestled with offensive lineman. This is
why to beat them up.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Literally at times, no question about it.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Jason Collar guests here, Jason Smith show with me, Mike Harmon, No,
Jason Smith and I Dan Byer in his stead. So
Mike Brown had his press conference and all that fun.
And then Jerry Jones our favorite, he's at it again
with Micah Parsons. Can we just get to the end
of the night dance where it's last chance and these
guys just sidle up to each other and get done
(21:46):
with it, because you know he's.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Got to pay on.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Just do it.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Yeah, there's a fast four round head here, and there's
some games in the ship. But this is this is
Jerry just playing the role that hey, look at me,
I'm so great and let's get the attention. So let's
generate some more attention out of this, which again it
goes back to his mantra there's no news, there's nothing.
(22:14):
There's no bad news out there, you know, there's no
bad publicity. And it's just like no, because this is
the kind of news that aggravates your players and it
makes your players ask if that dude can't get paid.
It's the same thing with Hendrickson. If that dude can't
get paid, who does get paid? And what do you
have to do to get and do I have to endure?
(22:35):
This is again make me nervous all the time. It's just,
you know, it's distraction for distraction's sake. Although I had
this thought today if he's trying to get the rights
to the Mica Bees, which would be like the Maccabi's
like wow, right, yeah, because you're getting the whole Ethnic
(22:55):
Athletic Association kind of thing, and you're just kind of
crossing over into the mccabies. You know, I think this
is brilliant by Jerry. So it's the Mica Bees.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
In the end, does Michael Parsons care because he's going
to get paid?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Like we can say, players are ticked.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Off asking the serious questions.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I just came, hey, hey, I'll tell you what you
got off on? Ad Hey will you?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Will you?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
You shot down my smith in the minton like you
wouldn't believe, and you can't handle that.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
I mean, come on, with Mica Bees, it's the it's
a cowboy it's a news strain of cowboy bees.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
The cowboy bees is a log see Dan preppy to
that part though, the cowboy bees merchandizing of years past.
It's a new year, it's a new it's a new
annual output here.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
They're faster, they're faster and quicker bees. They don't pivot
play the run particularly well, but they're faster and quicker bees.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's a long, long run with Jerry Jones, no question
about it. Here we were talking a little bit about
Miami Mike, Mike McDaniel. What's your overall evaluation of him
as a coach. Does he just need a different quarterback
to build with? How does this play out as to
and Tyreek Hill and well, a team trying to get
(24:15):
back on that, you know, don't.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
You get the kind of the the feeling that you know,
like you like McDaniel personally, but he's kind of like
a likable version of Chip Kelly where you're just playing
this BS offense that's wide open, that can't really run
the ball officially, can't control games. It'll produce a lot
(24:37):
of points, it'll be interesting to watch, it'll be fine,
they'll be really entertaining, but it's not really winning football. Now.
They have a presoft schedule if I remember in the
first five weeks, I don't have it up in front
of me, so they have a chance to kind of
spring that to a good start. But they would be
really good because I think they have like three cold
(24:57):
weather games in the last six weeks. I mean, it's
or some really tough schedule that you just kind of
look at and go, you better have built up a
bunch of wins before you get to that stretch. But yeah,
like I like mit Daniel and I want him to
succeed because he's fun and he's interesting. But the offense
(25:18):
is I don't believe. I really don't believe in the
offense being a title winning offense. And it may be
more about the quarterback than it is the offense. But
even though the forty nine ers have come close to
winning it with theoretically the same offense, it's only theoretically
the same offense. In practice it looks more like Chip Kelly, like,
(25:42):
let's just you know, let's chuck and duck, you know,
like just throw it around and make sure that Tua
doesn't get hurt. But you know two is going to
get hurt. It's just it's just going to happen.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Mike and I were just talking about to having to
talk about Tyreek Hill and building trust. If you're talking
about building building trust in the first day of training,
first days of training camp with your veteran receivers, is
that a sign of Is that a bad sign entering
the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Well, it's not promising. But I'll also get this, like,
who's he going to throw it?
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Totty Smith left because they didn't want to pay him.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Yeah, yeah, I mean we're going to throw the ball
more to waddle. I mean, like when you when you
drop back and you say, which dude's open, you go
look at Tyreek. That dude's going to be open, right,
So Tyreek's still going to get the ball playing and
he catches it and he doesn't. I mean, he's a
dangerous dude. He's a border borderline Hall of famer, probably
(26:43):
a Hall of Famer at some point. But you know,
that's gonna be a tough argument because of all the
wide receivers who generate numbers, but like, this is a
singularly special player who's been able to maintain his speed
and ability for so long. At the end of the day,
it's sort of like the Oakland A's in the nineteen seventies.
(27:06):
They really didn't get along that well, but they played
hard on the field. They they got along, like they
literally punched each other in the lock in the locker
room and you know, in the clubhouts and in the dugout.
But then they went won three straight championships. Like like,
I think you kind of have to look at it
and say, that's what two is going to do. He
(27:27):
may not like throwing the ball to Tyreek. He may
not like Tyreek, but it's like that dude's open.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
You're getting on me for dad jokes, and you're referencing
the nineteen seventy as Cole like, come on, like.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
What are we what are we doing here?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Bill North? Now, that's just it's just so weak, it's
just so verbal. Like I know, but but I can
go from Mica bees to the steps trees. I'm showing.
I am showing rains.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
That is a good at a lot of.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Tremendous range here. I am like Ozzie Smith. Baby, That's
that's the kind of range that I have.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
All Right, you were great in the field and occasionally
you hit all right, now the.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Which is true, It's actually true.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
So let me pull this back in in the NFL
world as a whole. Remember, we are need to be
FCC compliant. So you're gonna have to go into your
thesaurus and dictionary and pull out if I were to
just say, Jason Cole, give me like I'm a five
year old, you're descriptor of the current situation with the NFLPA.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
I think Wayne Johnson said it all. He said today, Yeah, no,
you can't say that. I can't say that. I can't
say it. We've known this for seventeen years. I mean,
just go back to when they elected Demorris Smith. This
is this is a great this is a great story
that somebody told me the other day that it was
(29:03):
year it was twenty eleven. De Smith was in his
like third or fourth year, right, and he was in
he was out. Let's just say he was out on
the road. I don't want to narrow it. And he
met up with this agent and this agent had one
of his players with him, and the player was a
backup player who was a free agent or about to
(29:26):
be a free agent. Yeah. Nice nice guy, nice player,
but you know, just a backup. And so they got
into the discussion, Oh, you're going to be a free agent,
and he said are they going to franchise you? And
the agent kind of looks and goes just thought to himself,
(29:47):
we have no chance. He was like in in year
four and he didn't understand what the franchise tag was.
He also didn't understand like this is not used on backup.
He didn't understand who the player was he was talking about.
And this has just gone and gotten worse and worse
and worse, and more games to play. I actually think
(30:10):
that this is when we step back from this, this
is actually going to be a really healthy thing. It's
like it's like a really violent cleansing. It's like taking
you know, pepto bismol for seven straight days and seeing,
you know, what the what the results are and then
adding like brand on top of it. This is what
(30:32):
this is kind of what the NFLP is going through.
But I think that the end result has a chance
to be really great because they'll get back to the
fundamental things they need to have, which is player leadership
and players paying attention. And so, yeah, they're going to
have to live through you know what Pat McAfee has said,
(30:52):
which was vicious, what Lane Johnson said, which was vicious
but accurate. Right, They're going to have to live through
all the embarrassment of their executive director. Not just the
fact that they broke the law, or broke union law
by not disclosing breaching, by breaching fiduciary responsibility, but not
(31:13):
giving players information that was critical to contract negotiations. Never
mind that, but the guy went to a strip club,
made the car wait for eight hours, and then expensed
it even though he's making three point four million dollars.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Yeah, I just don't think he gets enough credit for
being a good hang, you know, like I mean you
can rip him the strands.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Oh no, oh no, no no no. You talk to players,
they'll tell you that Lloyd was a good hang. They liked.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
He gets a lot of credit. If you talk to
guys off to the side, they're like, oh, yeah, he
was cool, he was a good hand. That's not what
you want for an executive director. But if you not it.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
But if you're expensing all sorts of stuff, you're thinking
I can get away with this, you know, extra plate
of chicken wings.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
At the strip club.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Well but yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
And an eight hour car service that you said.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Going going to Toutsys, which advertises itself as seventy six
thousand square feet of the largest strip club in the world.
And it was built it was built in a former
BJS appropriately BJ's distributorship. Okay, that's what it used to be.
(32:23):
It was one of the where it was one of
the warehouses for for BJ's discount.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
It's also seventy five percent the size of the Universal
Studios Hollywood Horror Nights.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
There's one, there's one to.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Go Horror okay nights, good lord, just trying to keep
it clean.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Here keeping it above board here like eating a spoonful
of draino. Sure it'll clean you out, but I'll lead
you hollow inside frank drabbing naked gun. Thanks Jason Cole,
you're a wonderful human being. Thanks for stopping at I'm.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
A great hang and my bagels at the Mego Bakery.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Yeah that, I'll shuffle up and deal and do that
right away. At Jason Goal sixty two. You can see
his latest work that he's doing. Uh yeah, he bought
a bagel place down in Florida. He's Dan Byron for
Jason Smith. Out Mike Carmon. Now it's downing to turn
it over to the news desk. See how Monty Bolano's
tops that.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I love Halloween horror nights.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
See there you go.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
Love horror, horror, horror, horror.
Speaker 11 (33:23):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
I'm gonna move on. Let's go to baseball.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
Let's talk about the best semen baseball.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Who's that Dan, the Milwaukee Brewer?
Speaker 3 (33:30):
That is correct? I sack over the last week.
Speaker 11 (33:33):
Sure, sure, but over the course of the season, the
Brewers have the best record in baseball right now, sixty
one and forty one. They had seventeen hits today as
they destroyed Seattle ten to two was the final score.
The Astros edge of the Diamondbacks forty three to complete
a three game sweep. The Pirates also completed a three
game sweep of the Tigers, coming out on top six
(33:54):
to one.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Earlier today, Justin Verlander.
Speaker 9 (33:56):
Got his first victory of this season.
Speaker 11 (33:58):
That is not a Typole Devers hit two home runs
in San Francisco's nine to three victory over Atlanta. The
Mets defeated the Angels six to three. They completed a
three games sweep as well. The Guardians edged the Orioles
three to two. Dodgers walked it off four to three
against the Twins. Thanks too and are a two rbi
single actually from Freddie Freeman. It doesn't matter the day,
(34:18):
Freddie Freeman will walk it off. Sho hey Otani also
homered for his fifth consecutive game, tying a Dodgers franchise record.
Yankee star Aaron Judge was the last player to homer
in five consecutive games.
Speaker 9 (34:30):
He did this last year.
Speaker 11 (34:31):
He homered today, but it was not enough, as the
Blue Jays outscored the Yankees eight to four. They now
have a four game lead on New York in the
Al East. The Red Sox were down five runs, made
a comeback beat Phillies in Philadelphia nine to eight and
eleven innings. The White Sox topped the Rays eleven to nine,
while the Rangers edged Thea's two to one. There is
a WNBA game going on right now. The dream are
(34:52):
on top of the Mercury seventy nine to sixty three
with about five.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Minutes to go in the game.
Speaker 11 (34:57):
But no surprise here if Fever star Kaitlin Clark has
been ruled out for tomorrow's game against the Las Vegas Aces.
And in the NFL today, the Jaguars said that Travis
Cunter is going to spend the first part of his
training camp exclusively on offense, but by the middle of
next week he's going to be practicing on both sides
of the.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Ball well, because they'll have the offense all figured out.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Back to you, guys, we'll.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Deal with the Jaguars coming up in about twenty minutes.
Thanks Manzi at Mancy Belagna is where you find her
in the twitterverse. You hear Sunday afternoons here on Fox
Sports Radio as well as with Dan as they traverse
the day's day parts so you just need to follow
their Twitter verse or just keep it locked on Fox
Sports Radio all the time. You're bound to run into
(35:41):
their voices or me yelling at you somewhere along the line.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Coming up next, we.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Talked fantasy rankings last hour. We'll do fantasy rankings in
another hour. But how about golf rankings and a legend
throwing up his hands and saying, it's a sham, it's
a travesty, and it's a mockery of everything that we do.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
What's that all about? We'll tell you.
Speaker 9 (36:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Welcome Back, and.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Fox Sports Radio Jason Switch Show with Me Mike Carmon.
No Jason Smith to night in Instead, it's Dan Byer
with me and Nan.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
We traverse to the wonderful world of golf.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
And one that just kind of stood up right over
the last few weeks. A lot of talk about Scottie Scheffler,
something you and I had started on the Sunday show,
just kind of talking about the mental space individual sports
versus team sports, and it's kind of spawned these last
couple of weeks. You can find the audio wherever you
download your podcasts, go rate it, give it five stars,
(36:45):
and then evangelize to friends and family. But the latest
is now a little bit pulled back in terms of
how rankings work. Lee Westwood tied for thirty fourth at
the Open Championship, vaulting a full thirty seven hundred spots
in the official World Golf ranking.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
So he's now at nine thirty.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
He's back ahead of his son, a Mini Tour player,
who's at twenty seven fifty nine. But just talking about
the rankings as a whole quote, I just think it
proves without World ranking points.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
It makes it a bit of a mockery of.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
The system, he said ahead of this week's live golf
event in the UK. And it comes after the league's
applying for reapplying for submission to the World rankings last
month currently under review. But since going back to July
of twenty twenty two, you've got this divide and then
(37:42):
trying to figure out because it all comes back to
sponsorship dollars and buy in and everything else.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Right, how good are you? I'll, I don't have a
real rank.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
I remember what was doing a handicap tracker many years
ago at Yahoo and trying to fight about getting that
algorithm and everything correct. Did we get this right for
this course and working with folks, and how contentious that was.
I can only imagine golfer and golfer sponsor to sponsor
and the tour itself trying to prove worth.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
Well it shouldn't it shouldn't be to Lee Westwood, Lee
Westwood knew exactly what was happening when he signed up
for it. Lee Westwood was one of the many golfers
who were in the sunset of their careers who took
the money and ran to live golf.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
That's what it is. And I have zero sympathy.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
For them getting or not getting world ranking points because
that was the deal when they signed up. They only
play in fifty four hole events. I don't care if
you have the twenty best players in the world. There
is criteria that you have to abide by to get
those world ranking points. The association that you have joined,
(38:47):
that has paid you an ungodly amount of money to play,
did not want to abide by those rules, no matter
how ridiculous they may be.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
So just because you're able.
Speaker 5 (38:58):
To get into the Open Chamirampionship, qualify for the Open
Championship and play in the event, and finish in a
spot where you move up what sixteen hundred spots.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Or whatever it was, just tells you.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
Yeah, the reason why he fell so much is because
he hasn't played in any of those events.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
He hasn't played in majors.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
Because of his age, and because there are fewer opportunities
to qualify, very few opportunities to qualify and live. However, Mike,
if you're a top player, you're still being able to
play in these majors. They're trying to open up certain
roads for it. But to sit there and call the
official World rankings a joke because your organization doesn't get
points for it, knowing that the format that you set
(39:38):
up does not abide by those rules, to me, is
just grossly inaccurate. It's a lie, it's hypocritical, it's all
of that rolled into one, and I'm just I'm done
with the argument. Trey Hendrickson, you could use this. Trey
Hendrickson signed a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals. He signed
a contract, and there are people who will say you
signed the contract. Play with what your contract is. I
(40:00):
know There's a lot more that comes with it. But ultimately,
if you're the Cincinnati Bengals, you can say, you sign
this deal. We gave you this money up front for
this reason that you got and now the back end
of it is happening. You knew the deal when you
took it, and it's not really different than live golf
in the Official World Golf Rankings. They just felt that
they could get enough good players into their circuit that
(40:22):
the Official World Golf Rankings would have to change. No,
they don't. They don't have to change because of that.
You made the beg you're sleeping in zero sympathy, No.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Just that curiosity of how much that really matters to you.
It's curious, is he just being the mouthpiece for the
organization in this particular standing, or is it truly a
personal thing. I want my ranking, you getting the money, right.
We've talked about this a lot. In the end, given
the choice, I don't know how easily I would have
(40:52):
said I don't want the money, right. I mean, if
suddenly someone's coming with, yeah, gobs of cash your way.
But yeah, it does come with the responsibility of knowing.
You also might have signed thinking that the inevitability of
it was going to collapse and it would fold back
in nice and easily. So it's like, wait, I can
get paid and this gonna happened. But while there's still
(41:12):
that divide, and there's still this reapplication process that has
not been rubber stamped or.
Speaker 5 (41:18):
They've tried to yeah, they've tried to make they've tried
to sign up with other events and it's been this,
but that it still doesn't matter. You knew what was happening,
and so all those other things are just wishing and
hoping you knew what this was about. And I don't
even like, I don't even blame Brooks Koepka as much
as I'm not a fan of lift golf even in
a minute. He's like, I've battled injuries and I had
(41:38):
no idea how long my career was gonna last. Lee Westwood,
Ian Poulter, other players were at the sunset of their careers.
So they took the money and ran. Sorry, zero sympathy, none, none, whatsoever.
I'll take the money even Sure, well there's young guys
as well, you know that, but their world rankings are effective.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
But as we always say, hope is not a strategy
on this show.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
As we continue, we'll go back into the world of
the National Football League, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and a quiz
that the
