falls in defeat a stunning last second victorm. Okay, I
can't even say that an absolute blowout from the jump
and from the well, not from the jump, because they
did have the first drive of the game where they
(01:12):
scored a touchdown. He's right, maybe things are gonna get good.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
They were winning before TCU actually touched the ball.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, that was it. That was the highlight. That was
that that that was as good as it gets.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Put it down the way.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
The North Carolina program has not lost this badly to
an unranked team since two thousand and three when Maryland man.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Forty eight fourteen is your final score? And I just
got this, Uh the the Raleigh News Observer, right, the
big newspaper in North Carolina and inn Rawleigh. Uh, this
is the headline that just went up for its millions
upon millions. North Carolina got sold a bill capital b
(01:53):
of goods. So already already after one game, which is
why I said, how long long does Bill Belichick have
to turn things around? Does he have more than a season?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
My old Richmond coming in a couple of weeks. People
can't take.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Its Charlotte next week, Richmond like real? Does Bill Belichick
with all the drama and everything that goes along with it,
does he have more than a season to get things going?
Because if this season and right now, this is a
good TCU team. It's not a world beating TCU team,
but it's a good TCU team. But to lose like
this and be non competitive we're middle of the third quarter.
(02:28):
The fans were leaving. We're done, We're done. Here's another
seventy yard touchdown. We're done, We're done. We're leaving like
this is It's stunning to see Belichick lose this badly
in his first game at North Carolina. And I mean,
I mean, I don't. And in one hundred and eighty
degrees from that first touchdown of the game, North Carolina
is up seven to nothing, and suddenly Belichick's going to
(02:50):
the playoff. Oh make room for North Carolina at the
top of the acc Now it's hey, man, does he
make it the end of the season? Is he still
Here's he'll still coach at the end?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Opponent Charlotte did have a losing record last year, and
Charlotte did get blown out in its opener last week
by Appalachian State. So these are the next two opponents
for Bill's TarHeels, Charlotte and Richmond.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And yeah, Muggsy Bogues j R. Reed, they're gonna be
There'll be big next week. See you just watch out
for Charlotte, are you. Yeah? They have the teal uniforms too.
It'll be won't quarterback won't know where to throw the
football too much, team on the fields, how it's gonna go.
Uh So Belichick just met the media. You're gonna hear
(03:34):
from right now here. He is talking about the absolute
butt kicking he got at the hands of TCU just
a couple of moments ago.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Oh well, it was a great uh you know, great
atmosphere here for the game tonight. You know, fans were
at tremendous injury energy walk and you know we played
competitively but then just couldn't sustain it. So obviously we
have a lot of work to do. You know, we
did do better job all the way around. Coaching, playing
all three phases of the game, just wasn't up to
(04:05):
what it needs to be. And I know we're a
lot better than that. So we'll need to you know,
need to work on those things and show it on
Saturday and quick turnaround. But you know, get tc credit.
They came in it, did a good job, and they
were clearly the better team tonight. You know, they deserved
to win and they did it decisively.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Coach Andrew Jones star Hill twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
When things started to go bad quickly after you guys
went up seven nothing, what was the sense of was
there a sense of helplessness that you couldn't stop it?
And what was maybe the key sequence that you thought
got your team sort of offer out?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Yeah, multiple things. You know, anytime you give up two
turnovers to touchdowns offensively, that's not good. We give up
several long plays on defense, you know where they gained
a lot of yards on one play. So just just
too many, too many of those. There wasn't any one thing,
it was combination of multiple things. Too many three and
now it's too many long plays on defense. And then
(05:04):
two turnovers. Well we have three turnovers, two turnovers, touchdowns.
You can't overk on that.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
How much teaching can you do for this video head
of Saturday?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, well, well you know, use the TOI on best
of we canda, like I said, correct the mistakes from
last tonight and move on and then you know, get
ready for Charlotte. So you know, they've got a couple
extra days here, and you know they came off with
disappointing game themselves, so you know we're both a little
bit in the same boat here. But yeah, we got
a lot of work to do and you know we'll
get out.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Go out. Georg chritis Asher victorials on the side. You
guys have a lot of misstops tonight. How much of
that has to do with the limited amount of time
you had to prepare for this game?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Is when it comes to tackling, Yeah, I mean you
said that we got to do a better job of tackling.
There's no doubt about that, and so we're just gonna
have to work harder on it, tackle better. I mean,
there's no secret to it. It's no no pill you
can take. I mean, you just gotta you know, have
tackle better fundamentally and and get more guys around the
ball so we're not you know, so many tackles in space.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Did you assess how Geodopez played? Is Andrew statism if
you saw enough for Max that that job is open
or maybe open.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Yeah, we'll see how Geo is. You know, they took
him off, took a look at him. You know, hopefully
it's not too bad, but we'll see. You know, give
Max a lot of credit. You know, he came in
there after you know, being off for a long time
and uh, you know, hung in there, made some plays,
you know, in a tough situation. So you'll give him
a lot of credit for what he did tonight, but
we'll take a look at it after we see where
things are at here, and I don't go from there.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
It's too where they're telling them.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I'm being told all those people were banned for week
two as president.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
How stunning, How stunning was that from Bill Belichick? He
was more accommodating and nicer and more respectful of the
media right there than he's ever been after a loss
in his entire NFL career. You heard he's verboth. He
probably hated the questions, but it didn't matter. He still
answered them. And the fact that he says, hey, you
(07:05):
said it, we needed to do this, while while you're
giving a reporter credit for saying something right your team
needed to do. Like he was so more respectful and
accommodating than he ever has been, almost like he knows
he can't get away with what he did in pressers
in the NFL, Like I know, I can't just be
a jerk and get a question and go, well, we
didn't we didn't score enough on offense, and they didn
(07:30):
You talk about that, You talk about that big play
in the third quarter, you give up the touchdown run.
How what that meant? For the team. Yeah, a big
play for them, Like none of that, Like it was
all I'm gonna answer his bed now. It's not like
suddenly he's falling all over himself and he's smiling and
he's happy. But it's like he knows I can't do
that anymore, right, he knows, like this is my last chance.
(07:52):
I'm on this, you know here, I am I lose.
What's going to happen to me after this? Like I
can't get away with how I in the NFL because
I don't have that cachet anymore. Like that's about his
I've never heard him be that nice and that more
accommodating talking after a game. Maybe I'm missing there's a
couple of wins that he had, like big wins where
(08:12):
he was really excited he came to the press conference after,
but after a loss never never hurt him like that
patient with everybody and is as patient and accommodating as
he can be. That was stunning to hear that from
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
But inside, you know he was giving the dagger stare
like he did to the ESPN camera walking off the
field more than once. By the way, Yeah, yeah, but
this tells me that reaction that you brought out. This
tells me he's there for the whole year. Is this
confirms it to me? I mean I thought he was anyway,
but he's in. He's he's he's bought in. I don't
(08:45):
know about next year, but he's bought in for this year.
This is where they start at the bottom and you
have to teach basic tackling and all the things that
went wrong here. By the way, that impression that you
did of his voice, that's exactly how he answered the
NFL owners when they asked him about the uh, you know,
the scandal of the secret taping and all of it.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yeah, I'm sorry, I thought I thought you could do that.
Some owners were not satisfied with that explanation.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, but that's that's who he was, right, and you
hear him there, My goodness, Like that was like three quel.
Usually we play Bill Belichick and A and a bunch.
I've been doing the show now for ten years, eleven years,
and usually we play a Bill Belichick chunk of his
press conference and we play three minutes and there's eleven
questions because he just doesn't answer, right, he just says, yeah,
well that we should.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Have I almost turned onto Charlotte. There, I thought that
was he did.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
He did say, we gotta get ready for Charlotte. Quick
turn around, you know, you got ready to go. But
like there was like four questions in three minutes because
he answered more in depth and actually answered the questions
that he never would do that before. It's you know,
I kind of feel like this, like when Guns n'
Roses first had their big rush as as a popular band, right,
(10:01):
the big hard rock band of the last forty years,
Right when they first came around to concerts in the
eighties and early nineties, Like you would hear the stories
they were supposed to go on at ten and they
didn't go on till till midnight, and Axel didn't come
up on stage till one in the morning, and everybody's mad,
and you know, but guns and Roses could do that
because hey, we're the biggest band. We have something you
(10:22):
want and that's us as as the best band in
the world, right, And you hear that from bands all
the time when they would do that. Oh the band
was supposed to come out at nine, they didn't come
on until eleven four. He was under it. Yeah, it
doesn't matter. Yeah, Hey, maybe not even at the arena
at that point when he's supposed to go on. But
they could do that and get away with it. But
now they get back together after all those years together,
(10:43):
and what happens. Hey, those Guns and Roses concert, they're
supposed take the stage at nine to fifteen, they're on
at nine to fifteen. They give you a great two
hour show. They play three or four encores and every
they've been on tour for the past eight years and
it's been back and forth. We're giving you a solid
show every sing because they know we can't get away
with what we used to because now it's about a
(11:05):
comeback and us we need to be nicer to everybody.
We can't just do that. I mean, that's Bellots. I
mean he's learned that now. I mean, I don't know
if this is gonna stay all season, because you know,
if you get to to five oh and six or hey,
you know, we lose to Charlotte next week and maybe
a little bit different, but at least here like this
is this is the nicest he has been in a
press conference. I've ever heard him like that. I really for.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Those who haven't heard Belichick press conferences and are just
hearing you. Now they're saying that's the nicest that's what.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Wow, I should have heard.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
All these other ones you're referring to, because yeah, this
doesn't sound like much on the face in context. He's
actually answering multiple questions some you know, sometimes he gave
a response that wasn't a direct answer to the question.
But when you are beaten so soundly, North Carolina lost
at home forty eight fourteen to TCU, and this is
(11:55):
after they had the ball first, TarHeels went straight down
the field, scored on the first drive, seven nothing, barely
scored again the rest of the night. So many things
went wrong. You know, I I won't use the word sympathize.
I don't sympathize with him, but he is correct that
so many things went wrong. You really can't delineate all
(12:16):
of it in your responses.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
What do you got, Frostburg.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
I mean this this is generated. This game and this
ass kicking that they just took Belichick and unc has
generated one of the greatest things ever on social media.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Okay, okay, what's that.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
It's Bill Belichick if Tom Brady didn't exist. Okay, the
memes are just out of control.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Amazing A Belichick.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Brady Brady has forever won that conversation.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
This is it's some of the greatest stuff you'll ever see.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Bill Belichick's girlfriend, if Tom Brady didn't exist, Oh my,
oh yeah, you know this is awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Now she's gonna walk into our studio and say, we're
not talking about that.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Like oh, man, Bill Belichick. If Tom Brady didn't exist,
they got him working at McDonald's, they got him working
at Walmart, they got him working at Chicken, He's working
at dunkin Donut. He's got the hat on the duncan
donts man. You know, people get upset with AI and say,
I don't know about AI. No, I think this is
what AI's made for. I think it's moments like this.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Realistically, by the way, he would have been what Vic Fangio,
somebody who was just a superb defensive coordinator and would
have been that for twenty five years and then still
have rings, multiple rings, but wouldn't have been, by goodness,
head coach of six Super Bowl winners.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
He would have had to stay with the Jets.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
He didn't know what he had at quarterback, and the
Patriots didn't know what they Hadack.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And you know what for all this, you know, just
really quick for you to you know what. We'll get
to that coming up next. We have more coverage of
this game, more on Bill Belichick's debut and which debut
was more shocking this weekend, Belichick or arch Manning. I
think the answer is gonna surprise you. That's next right here,

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
Special Delivery Steve de Sega in for Harmon tonight, where
the breakdown of the shocking defeat that North Carolina suffered
at the hands of TCU. TCU winning at seventy six
to negative three. It was very difficult. I've never seen
(16:03):
a team actually lose points during a game. But because
it went so bad after that first drive, college football
took points away from North Carolina, so hence the negative three.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Well, he's on to Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
So let's say, let's just once again for those who
you don't have your pocket schedules for North Carolina football
at home. The next two games are at Charlotte and
hosting Richmond, So you know, fingers crossed for a w.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And the thing is that that that's change, that's actually
they're just hosting Mitch Richmond. So that's it. It's it's
they just have to beat him. And it's at football,
so I think they'll be Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Mitch Richmond junior or a cousin or actual fifty five
year old guard.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Actually, now, come on, it's actual Mitch Richmond. That's what
it's actually met. Uh now we get to the big
the two most shocking stories this weekend in college football.
The second but you know the point that we were
talking about a few minutes ago. Uh, Frostburg told list
the memes that are on social media right now, and
he's right there, amazing Bill Belichick if he never had
Tom Brady, and it's all memes of him at Duncan Donuts,
(17:10):
at Walmart, at McDonald's, like all of these things. Yet
working not like going and saying here's what I'd like.
It's you know, can I help you with that? And
you know, and the funny thing is is that we
just had earlier this week Moe Lewis of the Jets,
who you know, maybe you know his name. I know
him because he was a great player for the Jets,
but known for jump starting the Tom Brady era because
(17:32):
it was Mo Lewis with the hit on Drew Bledsoe
that knocked Bledsoe out of a game in two thousand
started the Tom Brady era and all of a sudden,
Brady takes over and becomes the best quarterback we've ever seen.
And Lewis has never talked about it, and he talked
about it for the first time is in twenty years.
First time he talked about it. It was a big headline
(17:53):
earlier this last week and he said, listen, you should
be mad at you know, Patriots mad at Drew Bledsoe
right that he didn't get down, because you watch that
play that started the Tom Brady era. Bledsoe's running for
a first down, doesn't dive, doesn't try to slide or anything,
tries to just kind of goes straight up and Mo
Lewis just lights him up. Right, Bledsoe gets hurt, comes
(18:13):
out of the game, Brady comes in. So I get that, right,
I understand that. But the general perception, and this is
where you know, hey, Belichick getting Tom Brady, how lucky
he was. Over time, the Belichick Brady thing has taken
on this mystical quality that, Hey, here was Tom Brady
who was a sixth round draft pick and moved his
(18:33):
way up the up the depth chart, and he was
about to take over the starting job from Drew Bledsoell. Right,
that's the narrative that I remember players saying, yeah, Brady
would have started at some point. That is absolutely not true.
That is absolutely not true because four months before that,
the two thousand Seeds two thousand and one season, four
months before that, Drew Bledsoe got a ten year, one
(18:55):
hundred million dollar contract from the Patriots. Okay, in April
of that year, ten years, one hundred million dollar contract. Sorry,
Bledsoe was gonna stay in the quarterback right, Belichick loved
Bledsoe wouldn't have been on board from getting a ten year,
hundred million dollar contract. You're not benching a hundred million
dollar quarterback for a six right, that's not happening Tom Brady. Yet.
(19:15):
I get that. Brady proved himself and he again from
a sixth round pick where you don't know if he's
gonna be in the league, to become the backup quarterback.
That's a great run, right, that's an awesome run. Awesome
run for him. But he wasn't about to become the starter.
Bledsoe wasn't about to get benched again four months before
Bledsoe signed ten years and one hundred and three million dollars. Right,
that wasn't happening. Now, if he's hurt and he's out
(19:36):
and Brady comes in, they wind up trade. But it's
not like if the Patriots started losing, Bledsoe was gonna
hit the bench. He didn't do that, right, Belichick knew
because what did he do in his previous stop and
in Cleveland? He got run out of Cleveland because what
did he do Bernie Coozar, one of the most beloved
players in Cleveland Brown's history, right, was probably at the
end of his career, and Belichick benched him for Vinny
(19:56):
Testa Verdi. It was so unpopular. Fans outside Brown's headquarters
petitioning and picketing and saying, you know, Belichick's gotta go.
How do you do this to Bernie Kozar who was
so beloved and Testa Vernie came in played okay, right,
better than people thought that. He had a big renaissance
with the Jets, you know, you know, a year or
two later. But Belichick, like he learned from that lesson. Boy,
(20:19):
I benched a quarterback, I wound up getting fired. He
wasn't gonna do that again. He wasn't gonna say, okay,
this is the guy that hey, here's one hundred million
dollar quarterback. So that wasn't happening. He wasn't going to
Brady in a week and all of a sudden, Brady
walking in and that wasn't happening. Right now, doesn't mean
Brady the error never would have taken off. Maybe at
the end of the year, Belichick wouldn't have been happy
(20:40):
enough with Bledsell thought he peaked, other teams would have
traded for bled Sell. But the whole to think that
just Brady was just it was gonna be the quarterback
eventually within a few weeks. That wasn't gonna happen again.
Four months before ten years one hundred and three million
dollar contract, which is like signing a three hundred million
dollar contract. Now, okay, that's the equivalent of it twenty
four years later.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
And the more general point for Boston and its sports,
not just the Patriots. You and I are old enough
to remember that Boston area sports. It was just this fatalistic,
calvinistic it's gonna happen to us again, isn't it Like
it's predetermined, Like whatever our team is, it's just not
gonna go well, because you know, we had the Reds
(21:21):
in the seventy five World Series and we had Game
seven at home and we didn't.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
We had been Mets in the eighty six.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
World Series, And.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
It turns out three of the greatest sports heroes in
that region's history kind of all came about by accident,
all of them. Belichick had signed to coach somebody else.
Brady was not gonna see the field that year, except
for an injury. David Ortiz went unclaimed for three weeks
in an offseason after he was let go by the
Minnesota Twins. It's just it's just dumb luck. It's I
(21:54):
I a lot. There was cheating involving the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, having the plays was good. Also knowing the pitches
that were coming was good. I'm just saying these are
things that help. Like, they helped teams.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Yeah, for those who are this were not like, that's
not an insult.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
What we're saying is Bill Belichick quite literally cheated with
the New England Patriots. They got a pass on the
sidelines so that a guy could film the other team's
signals and they could get the illegal edge that way.
How did they get a pass on the sidelines. They
said they lied as a cover up that he was
from NFL Films. Just put NFL Films on it.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Nobody.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Well, guess what, somebody somebody came up and caught him.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And hang on history, hang on, you're not Steve Sable.
You gotta tell hang on set. Well, it was the
one guy I knew at NFL Films with Steve Sable.
I put his name in.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
I don't knew what he was doing.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Was wrong, and the Red Sox when they got in
trouble for twenty eighteen, they knew what they it was.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
It was not only so wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
After the Red Sox cheated, and of course the manager
got fired, I believe he back. Now after that occurred,
major League Baseball changed its entire system of scouting and
videos so that nobody can do what the Red Sox did.
To say there was cheating is a statement of fact.
It's not meant to be an insult the.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Title winning.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But I don't think they have yet, Frostburg, if you
check on that, I think they can still have vacated, vacated.
David Price has to vacate that World Series back in
twenty eighteen. So, I mean, look, this is so understand
that that's the beginning of the Belichick era with the
Patriots and everything that's gone along with it and all
(23:41):
the pageantry and all that, and you know you're leading
up to where it was tonight getting pasted by thirty
four against TCU. Now this is shocking, right that this
is this is shocking to see TCU win against North Carolina.
This big the two biggest stories in college football this weekend,
and we'll continue to be the two biggest stories all year.
Arch Manning in Texas, Belichick and North Carolina. Right, Texas,
(24:04):
North Carolina, but more specifically arch Manning and Bill Belichick. Right,
because it's about them. Arch Manning bad this weekend against
Ohio State, right, Bill Belichick and Carolina awful against TCU
outside of the first drive of the game, with everybody
thought North Carolina was going to the playoffs, They're gonna
We're gonna roll through the acc It don't play anybody good.
(24:26):
Look at this. If you asked me which of these
two storylines is more shocking, you said to me before
the weekend and said, all right, Jason, here's what's gonna happen.
Arch Manning is gonna suck. Okay, Bill Belichick and North
Carolina are gonna suck. They're gonna get blown out. There's
hot mic stuff going on right now with Kirk Herbstreet
allegedly referring to North Carolina saying, wow, they're bad. Like
(24:49):
at the end of the third quarter, going to the
fourth quarter. If you asked me which which of these
results is more shocking, I would still tell you arch
Manning because Belichick in North Carolina. Look, this was not
a great team. This is not where suddenly he flipped
a bunch of recruits who came in and all of
a sudden, here come these five star guys. No, he
got his starting quarterback for tonight. I think a week ago.
(25:12):
I think he got him a week He actually got
him after spring practice. Okay, so you're talking about a
kid who's got elam Yeah, who didn't get to campus
until after spring practice is over. So that's a big deal. Yes,
he got some good recruits, which is great, right. You
like what he did, you know following him in the
offseason was getting guys coming. It was awesome. But this
(25:34):
is not suddenly where hey, I've shown up and i
flipped a bunch of guys and I'm gonna turn a
middle of the pack North Carolina team into an elite team,
right like fran Just to compare to acc Fran Brown
at Syracuse last year, Syracuse won ten games. I mean,
it was the best season we've had in twenty years.
I was on a magic carpet ride. Why Because he
flipped Kyle Bleep and McCord from Ohio stage one of
(25:55):
the best quarterbacks in the country. He flipped guys from
Georgia and Alabe and Texas A and M and they
came in and were studs and we won ten games. Like,
oh my god, Belichick didn't do that. Right, This is
still the year one of Belichick coming in and North
Carolina was just a mid program last year. TCU a
better program. Right, This is a good Bowl team. They
(26:16):
won eight games a year ago, and you could see
they had the better quarterback. Tonight, they had the better team.
They were more focused. After that first drive. It was
an absolute clinic. It was chunk yardage for TCU every
single time. Now, am I little surprise at forty eight fourteen? No,
if you told me thirty five twenty one, that's what
I'm thinking. More, you know, thirty four twenty one, thirty
(26:36):
four to twenty three, they lose by ten or fourteen.
But this was an absolute ass kicking after that first drive.
But I thought TCU was gonna win this game and
win it handily. Arch Manning, Yeah, I was stunned. I
was stunded at how bad he looks, Steve. I was
stunned at how nervous he was in the beginning. I
was stunted how he threw some of his passes in
the game and there's no pass you need to look
(26:59):
at more than that big third down play on their
final possession where you're saying, how do you throw that?
What is that throw? How do you miss it? Miss
You can't miss that throw Like it's not all of
a sudden, it's not that Hey, he's under to rest.
The entire game in Ohio State had him not knowing
where to go with the football, like he missed throws.
And in the end, this is a really talented Texas
(27:21):
team that is just as talented as Ohio State. Yes,
tough to go in Week one in Columbus, no question,
but if you're a really good quarterback, you have somewhat
of a good game. Right. The other big games involving
top ten teams, the quarterbacks all played better than arch
Manning did. Right. Both quarterbacks in Miami and Notre Dame
played better. Both quarterbacks LSU Clemson played better. These are
(27:43):
all top ten teams. They are playing kids, Okay, club
Nick was good, Garrett Nussmeyer was a little bit better,
Carson Beck was really good. CJ. Carr was was good enough,
he'll be fine at Notre Dame. But arch Manning was
what is happening? And it's not like he's come in
with no no experience when ers, Hey, it's his first
time cut. He's played in nine games last year, he
(28:03):
played in big games. He came in and played when
quinn Ewers got hurt. Like I thought, going going in,
What did I say this game, Hey, Texas gonna win.
I got him thirty one to twenty three. Arch Manning
makes plays with his legs, He runs for about fifty
to fifty five yards, he throws for two or three touchdowns,
like this is what it's gonna be, And instead it
was that awful for him. And I don't even know
(28:24):
if Ohio State is that good. You think Ohio State
is good? I mean fourteen to seven, Like, we don't
know how good Ohio State. Maybe both teams stink, oh
my goodness, hot take, but we don't know how good
they are. And still it was an offense that didn't
score in the first half and a second half where yes,
things were a little bit better, but still seven points.
It was seventy. You can't, I mean you can't. I
(28:45):
mean that's yeah, that's that's like Army Navy in nineteen
forty seven. I mean, that's why, that's why I am
really I am more stunned at at arch Manning having
that bad weekend, that bad at day Saturdy than I
allow your fault losing here. Well we'll get to that,
we'll get to why arch Manny is all my fault.
But the bottom line is I am more surprised that
(29:09):
that is my fault.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
It's not that they didn't move the bowl. Remember they
had a couple of early third down conversions. The problem was,
in such a low scoring, tight game, they just one
or two times literally needed to make the play and
didn't that that fourth and goal that they were stopped.
I mean that is dying for You know, a Heisman
Charles White type of back, a herschel Walker, somebody that
(29:32):
can leak leap over the line like Ladanian Tomlinson used
to do, and you have a cinch touchdown. Instead you
get it to the quarterback and he doesn't even get
to the line of scrimmage. It was one for five
on fourth downs. That's the difference in the game. As
bad as some of the throws were.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Wow, you went back to Charles White. Very nice, Steve O.
Thank you went back to Charles what nineteen eighty Heisman
seventy nine. I always get confused him and Billy Simms
won seventy nine Bill Sims and then it was Charles White.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Yeah, is that what it was?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Won the row?
Speaker 3 (30:03):
There was no video replay, and he made one of
those leaps over the lines and they knocked the ball
out before he got to the goal line. But okay,
it's still a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
And he did have one great year with the Rams.
He did have one year he ran for like fourteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Yards renaissance late in his career. Man, he was a
pro bowler that year in Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yes, he was so good. Charles White. Uh. Now, there
are other things that happened tonight in the wide world
of sports, clearly none bigger than Juan Soto's Grand Slam
home run, two run triple for the Mets in their
huge win over the today over the Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Well to mention it now, my wife's.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Family who didn't text me at all after the after
Juan Soto's trip, Right, Soto hits the Grand Slam, and
and there and they and the Tigers tie at six
to six. I get all kinds of texts from my cousin,
my brother in law, every I get all kinds Sodo
triples to make it eight six, I get nothing. I
get crickets from then the rest of the day. No,
Wan Soto's great. Uh So the saga has more. He's
(31:01):
got ten quick facts about Wan Soto in addition to
what is trending in the wide world of sports.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Actually one great one from stat seeing the fact that
in his last four games he has four home runs
and a triple and three stolen bases and eleven RBIs.
It's been one hundred years plus since RBI even became
an official stet. There's only one other major league player
that has those marks in a four game stretch. They
(31:25):
mentioned this on the telecast today. Shockingly, it's Ryan Klesco.
You could have go wow Ryansco all night and all
season without coming up that name. But four homers the
last four games, eleven RBIs plus a triple and three
steals in.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
The last four to one.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Soto with the win for the Mets ten to eight
at Detroit. Today's Soda with the Grand Slam two run triple,
Edwin Diaz the save. However, the Phillies are still six
games up on the Mets in the NL East. The
Phills won ten to eight at Milwaukee with two runs
in the ninth Phillies record eight fifty eight. You know,
there is deservedly a lot of attention on the NL
(32:04):
West race. The Dodgers barely ahead of the Padres. As
it stands right now, whoever wins the NL West does
not get a bye for the first round because the
Phillies are ahead of them in the overall NL standings.
Padres did lose at home four to three to Baltimore,
and they lost to reliever Jason Adam at All Star,
one of their great back end of the bullpen arms.
(32:25):
He suffered a ruptured quad tendon. They didn't say he's
out for the season, but it is the type of
injury that would be that serious. The Idol Dodgers first
in the NL West, now two and a half games
over the Padres. The Dodgers will be playing at Pittsburgh
and Baltimore this week in the AL West. Houston first place,
now three games over the Mariners. Houston beat the Angels
(32:46):
eight to three, while Seattle was beaten ten to two
at Tampa Bay. The late game to Texas at six
straight win a ten inning victory at Arizona seven to
five thanks to two runs in the ninth, two runs
in the tenth. It's not over for the Texas Rangers
thinking playoffs this year. They're now only a game and
a half behind Seattle for the last AL wildcard. Magical
(33:08):
win at Cincinnati and the Reds still four games out
of the last NL wildcard behind the Mets. Cincinnati, with
three in the bottom of the ninth, beat Toronto five
to four.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
The Blue Japs way to go Blue Jayson Bullpen way
to go.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Toronto had just scored three runs in the top of
the night. The Blue Jays are the first place team
in the AL East, but now it's just a two
and a half game edge over both the Yankees and
Red Sox. Boston was a home winner, six to four
over Cleveland. Eraldus Chapman the save. He officially got his
extension for next year. A's and White Sox each one
on the road. Washington with a victory to end an
(33:41):
eight game losing streak. San Francisco an eight to two
winner at Colorado. The Giants have won eight of their
last nine, and the Cubs beat Atlanta in ten innings,
seven to six. Yes tonight's college football game went to
TCU forty eight fourteen at North Carolina the horn Frogs
with nearly two hundred and sixty yards rushing and over
two hundred eighty yards passing in the debut of North
(34:03):
Carolina coach Bill Belichick. Defensive end Micah Parsons was limited
in his first practice at Green Bay. He has a
joint spring in his back. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, with
his bad back, is expected to start the opener Sunday
against the Texans. At the US Open in New York,
Naomi Osaka beat Coco Golf in a fourth round match
six three six y to two. Number two seed Egas
(34:25):
Fiantec also advanced Tonight number eight Amanda A Nissimova one,
and Yes Venus Williams is playing doubles. She won her
third round match with teammate Layla Fernandez. Three WNBA games
wins for Minnesota Atlanta and La took the late contest
at Seattle ninety one eighty five.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Back to You, Thank You, Steve O. The Jason Smith
Show with Steve Desager in for Mike Harmon. Coming up next,
we have more on the US the UNC defeat at
the hands of TCU. Sometimes stats come and go. You
hear a lot of numbers in sports, obviously, but there
is a stat that we're gonna bring you coming up
next that seems like there's no way it's true, but
(35:04):
it actually is. What is it? You'll hear it next.
Jason Smith, Steve de Sager, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show was special delivery
Steve de Sager in from Mike Harmon and part of
the loss, horrible loss that North Carolina had to TCU tonight,
(35:41):
And this gets into a bigger point. We talked about
Belichicken and Brady a few minutes ago tonight. Geo Lopez,
who we talked about a few minutes ago, became North
Carolina starting quarterback this summer. Didn't join the team until
after spring practice, hit the transferportal out of South Alabama
(36:02):
after the spring, so he wasn't around very long and
he shows up tonight and boy did he struggle. This
is a stat that you're not gonna believe, but it's true,
and it gets into a bigger point about Belichick. At
eight twelve pm Eastern, time, he completed a nineteen yard
pass to Jordanship. Right, what is it with Carolina, all
(36:23):
these Jordans, Michael Jordan, Jordan, Hudson j So it completes
a nineteen yard pass to Jordan Ship. By the way, Yeah,
eight twelve pm. Eight twelve pm Eastern Time, completed a
pass to Jordanship. His next completion was at ten twenty
pm Eastern Time, two hours and eight minutes after his
(36:48):
last completed pass. You could have saw him complete that
pass to Jordan Ship. Went and watched weapons, finished watching
the entire movie, gone back and not missed a Geo
Lopez completed pass.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
And this is, by the way, the quarterback who ran
the offense that went straight down the field on the
first drive of the game for a quick seven to
nothing lead. Lopez winds up with one interception, one fumble,
and one injury tonight.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
That's called a defensive adjustment, Steve. That's what Sonny Dykes
is going to say. Af we adjusted defensively following that
first possession. I was proud of the guys and what
they did after that.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
How about this for the TCU dominance in the last
twenty seasons, the only team in FBS college football. To
have all this in the same game is TCU tonight
to have two rushing tds of at least twenty five
yards each, a passing TD of at least twenty five yards,
an interception return TD of at least twenty five a
fumble return TD of at least twenty five yards, all
(37:48):
of that in the same game tonight. For TCU, Bill
Belichick had never allowed all of that in an entire
season as a head coach in his life. And it
all occurred in one night at North Caroline into the Sea.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
What do you got, Frostberg? You got one too?
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Oh, I got a stat that's way better than yours.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
What that's a dude? Come on. The guy went an
entire full length movie with previews in between completing passes.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
I mean, we'll let the people decide.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Okay, okay, what do you got?
Speaker 4 (38:14):
When the game was forty one to seven with six
fifty nine left in the third quarter, okay. Coincidentally, Bill
Belichick was forty one when Jordan Hudson was seven. I
know really got thinking.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, I'm thinking. I think the math. I think that
I think that's math that actually it needs to be
a little bit bigger a law. I think it needed
to be like, uh, I think it needed to be
like sixty two to seven.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Right, it's a different game this week, and I don't
know it for a fact.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
I just know it's true. But look, but this gets
into it and I'm trying to do the math. Now
it's more than thirty three years, man, it's like almost
almost fifty years.
Speaker 6 (38:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Look, this is the thing that Belichick's got to learn
about college football. And again, why is he not a
coach in the NFL anymore? When he started to run
the Patriots his way and Bob Kraft decided, Okay, i'll
cowtouty you you're the guy, will push Brady out a
year early. And look what happened. Belichick shop for the groceries,
(39:16):
he made the food. It was terrible, His restaurant closed.
It was awful, to the point where Belichick found his
own way out of the NFL because he had lost
his fastball. Right, he tried to build these drafting players
who were coming out of small colleges in the first round.
It's like, what are you doing? It's like he was
drafting badly on purpose, Like, hey, I know the Patriots
are gonna fire me at some point. I just want
to make sure I leave this little talent as possible.
(39:39):
Like Belichick lost his fastball and.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
He's got losing seasons three of the last four years.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Yeah, I mean, look the Jets. The Jets killed him
out of They retired him out of the NFL, losing
that last game walking off the field like the Jets
did it to him. He showed that I don't know
that you can't trust him with building a team anymore.
It's why no NFL t hired him. But to think
about this is like you think he would have learned
his lesson about having a quarterback that Belichick comes in
(40:06):
and he's Bill Bleeping Belichick. Man, we knew he was
gonna be the coach a long time before spring practice.
How is Belichick not out there getting a quarterback in
the transfer portal that's a really big name, Like look
like g Lope has had a really good year last
year with South Alabama, but he hit the portal late
and he comes in and wins the job. Like, how
is Belichicken out there understanding when I don't have a quarterback,
(40:28):
life is miserable. How does he not go out and
get somebody big how did he not go out and
convince Carson Beck to come to North Carolina for a year,
or or convince somebody to come Caden Salter to go
to transfer to Colorado from from from Liberty there, and said, like,
how does he how is this what he winds up
with a quarterback when he saw, Hey, you saw what
happened when you thought you could make it work with
(40:49):
with Mac Jones and Cam Newton when clearly these guys
were not that guy.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Because his buddy Nick Saban said, hey, you got to
go with this Mac Jones guy. I think you're gonna
you're gonna in with him. You know, Bill Belichick did
completely out coach the young Sean McVay. Remember in that
Super Bowl against the Rams. However, they didn't win a
play The Patriots didn't win a playoff game the rest
of his career.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I really mean, you would think that he would some lessons.
You say, okay, I understand this, I got to learn this.
And now he's struggling at quarterback, struggling everywhere like this
is again see why Belichick's not in the NFL. He
is at North Carolina. Here it is right here, exit
out about a fresca coming up next, you will hear
Bill Belichick following this huge defeat and some of the
shocking things that he said, because what he said

falls in defeat a stunning last second victorm. Okay, I
can't even say that an absolute blowout from the jump
and from the well, not from the jump, because they
did have the first drive of the game where they
(01:12):
scored a touchdown. He's right, maybe things are gonna get good.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
They were winning before TCU actually touched the ball.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, that was it. That was the highlight. That was
that that that was as good as it gets.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Put it down the way.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
The North Carolina program has not lost this badly to
an unranked team since two thousand and three when Maryland man.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Forty eight fourteen is your final score? And I just
got this, Uh the the Raleigh News Observer, right, the
big newspaper in North Carolina and inn Rawleigh. Uh, this
is the headline that just went up for its millions
upon millions. North Carolina got sold a bill capital b
(01:53):
of goods. So already already after one game, which is
why I said, how long long does Bill Belichick have
to turn things around? Does he have more than a season?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
My old Richmond coming in a couple of weeks. People
can't take.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Its Charlotte next week, Richmond like real? Does Bill Belichick
with all the drama and everything that goes along with it,
does he have more than a season to get things going?
Because if this season and right now, this is a
good TCU team. It's not a world beating TCU team,
but it's a good TCU team. But to lose like
this and be non competitive we're middle of the third quarter.
(02:28):
The fans were leaving. We're done, We're done. Here's another
seventy yard touchdown. We're done, We're done. We're leaving like
this is It's stunning to see Belichick lose this badly
in his first game at North Carolina. And I mean,
I mean, I don't. And in one hundred and eighty
degrees from that first touchdown of the game, North Carolina
is up seven to nothing, and suddenly Belichick's going to
(02:50):
the playoff. Oh make room for North Carolina at the
top of the acc Now it's hey, man, does he
make it the end of the season? Is he still
Here's he'll still coach at the end?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Opponent Charlotte did have a losing record last year, and
Charlotte did get blown out in its opener last week
by Appalachian State. So these are the next two opponents
for Bill's TarHeels, Charlotte and Richmond.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And yeah, Muggsy Bogues j R. Reed, they're gonna be
There'll be big next week. See you just watch out
for Charlotte, are you. Yeah? They have the teal uniforms too.
It'll be won't quarterback won't know where to throw the
football too much, team on the fields, how it's gonna go.
Uh So Belichick just met the media. You're gonna hear
(03:34):
from right now here. He is talking about the absolute
butt kicking he got at the hands of TCU just
a couple of moments ago.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Oh well, it was a great uh you know, great
atmosphere here for the game tonight. You know, fans were
at tremendous injury energy walk and you know we played
competitively but then just couldn't sustain it. So obviously we
have a lot of work to do. You know, we
did do better job all the way around. Coaching, playing
all three phases of the game, just wasn't up to
(04:05):
what it needs to be. And I know we're a
lot better than that. So we'll need to you know,
need to work on those things and show it on
Saturday and quick turnaround. But you know, get tc credit.
They came in it, did a good job, and they
were clearly the better team tonight. You know, they deserved
to win and they did it decisively.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Coach Andrew Jones star Hill twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
When things started to go bad quickly after you guys
went up seven nothing, what was the sense of was
there a sense of helplessness that you couldn't stop it?
And what was maybe the key sequence that you thought
got your team sort of offer out?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Yeah, multiple things. You know, anytime you give up two
turnovers to touchdowns offensively, that's not good. We give up
several long plays on defense, you know where they gained
a lot of yards on one play. So just just
too many, too many of those. There wasn't any one thing,
it was combination of multiple things. Too many three and
now it's too many long plays on defense. And then
(05:04):
two turnovers. Well we have three turnovers, two turnovers, touchdowns.
You can't overk on that.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
How much teaching can you do for this video head
of Saturday?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, well, well you know, use the TOI on best
of we canda, like I said, correct the mistakes from
last tonight and move on and then you know, get
ready for Charlotte. So you know, they've got a couple
extra days here, and you know they came off with
disappointing game themselves, so you know we're both a little
bit in the same boat here. But yeah, we got
a lot of work to do and you know we'll
get out.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Go out. Georg chritis Asher victorials on the side. You
guys have a lot of misstops tonight. How much of
that has to do with the limited amount of time
you had to prepare for this game?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Is when it comes to tackling, Yeah, I mean you
said that we got to do a better job of tackling.
There's no doubt about that, and so we're just gonna
have to work harder on it, tackle better. I mean,
there's no secret to it. It's no no pill you
can take. I mean, you just gotta you know, have
tackle better fundamentally and and get more guys around the
ball so we're not you know, so many tackles in space.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Did you assess how Geodopez played? Is Andrew statism if
you saw enough for Max that that job is open
or maybe open.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Yeah, we'll see how Geo is. You know, they took
him off, took a look at him. You know, hopefully
it's not too bad, but we'll see. You know, give
Max a lot of credit. You know, he came in
there after you know, being off for a long time
and uh, you know, hung in there, made some plays,
you know, in a tough situation. So you'll give him
a lot of credit for what he did tonight, but
we'll take a look at it after we see where
things are at here, and I don't go from there.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
It's too where they're telling them.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I'm being told all those people were banned for week
two as president.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
How stunning, How stunning was that from Bill Belichick? He
was more accommodating and nicer and more respectful of the
media right there than he's ever been after a loss
in his entire NFL career. You heard he's verboth. He
probably hated the questions, but it didn't matter. He still
answered them. And the fact that he says, hey, you
(07:05):
said it, we needed to do this, while while you're
giving a reporter credit for saying something right your team
needed to do. Like he was so more respectful and
accommodating than he ever has been, almost like he knows
he can't get away with what he did in pressers
in the NFL, Like I know, I can't just be
a jerk and get a question and go, well, we
didn't we didn't score enough on offense, and they didn
(07:30):
You talk about that, You talk about that big play
in the third quarter, you give up the touchdown run.
How what that meant? For the team. Yeah, a big
play for them, Like none of that, Like it was
all I'm gonna answer his bed now. It's not like
suddenly he's falling all over himself and he's smiling and
he's happy. But it's like he knows I can't do
that anymore, right, he knows, like this is my last chance.
(07:52):
I'm on this, you know here, I am I lose.
What's going to happen to me after this? Like I
can't get away with how I in the NFL because
I don't have that cachet anymore. Like that's about his
I've never heard him be that nice and that more
accommodating talking after a game. Maybe I'm missing there's a
couple of wins that he had, like big wins where
(08:12):
he was really excited he came to the press conference after,
but after a loss never never hurt him like that
patient with everybody and is as patient and accommodating as
he can be. That was stunning to hear that from
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
But inside, you know he was giving the dagger stare
like he did to the ESPN camera walking off the
field more than once. By the way, Yeah, yeah, but
this tells me that reaction that you brought out. This
tells me he's there for the whole year. Is this
confirms it to me? I mean I thought he was anyway,
but he's in. He's he's he's bought in. I don't
(08:45):
know about next year, but he's bought in for this year.
This is where they start at the bottom and you
have to teach basic tackling and all the things that
went wrong here. By the way, that impression that you
did of his voice, that's exactly how he answered the
NFL owners when they asked him about the uh, you know,
the scandal of the secret taping and all of it.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yeah, I'm sorry, I thought I thought you could do that.
Some owners were not satisfied with that explanation.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, but that's that's who he was, right, and you
hear him there, My goodness, Like that was like three quel.
Usually we play Bill Belichick and A and a bunch.
I've been doing the show now for ten years, eleven years,
and usually we play a Bill Belichick chunk of his
press conference and we play three minutes and there's eleven
questions because he just doesn't answer, right, he just says, yeah,
well that we should.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Have I almost turned onto Charlotte. There, I thought that
was he did.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
He did say, we gotta get ready for Charlotte. Quick
turn around, you know, you got ready to go. But
like there was like four questions in three minutes because
he answered more in depth and actually answered the questions
that he never would do that before. It's you know,
I kind of feel like this, like when Guns n'
Roses first had their big rush as as a popular band, right,
(10:01):
the big hard rock band of the last forty years,
Right when they first came around to concerts in the
eighties and early nineties, Like you would hear the stories
they were supposed to go on at ten and they
didn't go on till till midnight, and Axel didn't come
up on stage till one in the morning, and everybody's mad,
and you know, but guns and Roses could do that
because hey, we're the biggest band. We have something you
(10:22):
want and that's us as as the best band in
the world, right, And you hear that from bands all
the time when they would do that. Oh the band
was supposed to come out at nine, they didn't come
on until eleven four. He was under it. Yeah, it
doesn't matter. Yeah, Hey, maybe not even at the arena
at that point when he's supposed to go on. But
they could do that and get away with it. But
now they get back together after all those years together,
(10:43):
and what happens. Hey, those Guns and Roses concert, they're
supposed take the stage at nine to fifteen, they're on
at nine to fifteen. They give you a great two
hour show. They play three or four encores and every
they've been on tour for the past eight years and
it's been back and forth. We're giving you a solid
show every sing because they know we can't get away
with what we used to because now it's about a
(11:05):
comeback and us we need to be nicer to everybody.
We can't just do that. I mean, that's Bellots. I
mean he's learned that now. I mean, I don't know
if this is gonna stay all season, because you know,
if you get to to five oh and six or hey,
you know, we lose to Charlotte next week and maybe
a little bit different, but at least here like this
is this is the nicest he has been in a
press conference. I've ever heard him like that. I really for.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Those who haven't heard Belichick press conferences and are just
hearing you. Now they're saying that's the nicest that's what.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Wow, I should have heard.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
All these other ones you're referring to, because yeah, this
doesn't sound like much on the face in context. He's
actually answering multiple questions some you know, sometimes he gave
a response that wasn't a direct answer to the question.
But when you are beaten so soundly, North Carolina lost
at home forty eight fourteen to TCU, and this is
(11:55):
after they had the ball first, TarHeels went straight down
the field, scored on the first drive, seven nothing, barely
scored again the rest of the night. So many things
went wrong. You know, I I won't use the word sympathize.
I don't sympathize with him, but he is correct that
so many things went wrong. You really can't delineate all
(12:16):
of it in your responses.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
What do you got, Frostburg.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
I mean this this is generated. This game and this
ass kicking that they just took Belichick and unc has
generated one of the greatest things ever on social media.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Okay, okay, what's that.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
It's Bill Belichick if Tom Brady didn't exist. Okay, the
memes are just out of control.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Amazing A Belichick.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Brady Brady has forever won that conversation.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
This is it's some of the greatest stuff you'll ever see.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Bill Belichick's girlfriend, if Tom Brady didn't exist, Oh my,
oh yeah, you know this is awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Now she's gonna walk into our studio and say, we're
not talking about that.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Like oh, man, Bill Belichick. If Tom Brady didn't exist,
they got him working at McDonald's, they got him working
at Walmart, they got him working at Chicken, He's working
at dunkin Donut. He's got the hat on the duncan
donts man. You know, people get upset with AI and say,
I don't know about AI. No, I think this is
what AI's made for. I think it's moments like this.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Realistically, by the way, he would have been what Vic Fangio,
somebody who was just a superb defensive coordinator and would
have been that for twenty five years and then still
have rings, multiple rings, but wouldn't have been, by goodness,
head coach of six Super Bowl winners.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
He would have had to stay with the Jets.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
He didn't know what he had at quarterback, and the
Patriots didn't know what they Hadack.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And you know what for all this, you know, just
really quick for you to you know what. We'll get
to that coming up next. We have more coverage of
this game, more on Bill Belichick's debut and which debut
was more shocking this weekend, Belichick or arch Manning. I
think the answer is gonna surprise you. That's next right here,

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
Special Delivery Steve de Sega in for Harmon tonight, where
the breakdown of the shocking defeat that North Carolina suffered
at the hands of TCU. TCU winning at seventy six
to negative three. It was very difficult. I've never seen
(16:03):
a team actually lose points during a game. But because
it went so bad after that first drive, college football
took points away from North Carolina, so hence the negative three.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Well, he's on to Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
So let's say, let's just once again for those who
you don't have your pocket schedules for North Carolina football
at home. The next two games are at Charlotte and
hosting Richmond, So you know, fingers crossed for a w.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And the thing is that that that's change, that's actually
they're just hosting Mitch Richmond. So that's it. It's it's
they just have to beat him. And it's at football,
so I think they'll be Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Mitch Richmond junior or a cousin or actual fifty five
year old guard.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Actually, now, come on, it's actual Mitch Richmond. That's what
it's actually met. Uh now we get to the big
the two most shocking stories this weekend in college football.
The second but you know the point that we were
talking about a few minutes ago. Uh, Frostburg told list
the memes that are on social media right now, and
he's right there, amazing Bill Belichick if he never had
Tom Brady, and it's all memes of him at Duncan Donuts,
(17:10):
at Walmart, at McDonald's, like all of these things. Yet
working not like going and saying here's what I'd like.
It's you know, can I help you with that? And
you know, and the funny thing is is that we
just had earlier this week Moe Lewis of the Jets,
who you know, maybe you know his name. I know
him because he was a great player for the Jets,
but known for jump starting the Tom Brady era because
(17:32):
it was Mo Lewis with the hit on Drew Bledsoe
that knocked Bledsoe out of a game in two thousand
started the Tom Brady era and all of a sudden,
Brady takes over and becomes the best quarterback we've ever seen.
And Lewis has never talked about it, and he talked
about it for the first time is in twenty years.
First time he talked about it. It was a big headline
(17:53):
earlier this last week and he said, listen, you should
be mad at you know, Patriots mad at Drew Bledsoe
right that he didn't get down, because you watch that
play that started the Tom Brady era. Bledsoe's running for
a first down, doesn't dive, doesn't try to slide or anything,
tries to just kind of goes straight up and Mo
Lewis just lights him up. Right, Bledsoe gets hurt, comes
(18:13):
out of the game, Brady comes in. So I get that, right,
I understand that. But the general perception, and this is
where you know, hey, Belichick getting Tom Brady, how lucky
he was. Over time, the Belichick Brady thing has taken
on this mystical quality that, Hey, here was Tom Brady
who was a sixth round draft pick and moved his
(18:33):
way up the up the depth chart, and he was
about to take over the starting job from Drew Bledsoell. Right,
that's the narrative that I remember players saying, yeah, Brady
would have started at some point. That is absolutely not true.
That is absolutely not true because four months before that,
the two thousand Seeds two thousand and one season, four
months before that, Drew Bledsoe got a ten year, one
(18:55):
hundred million dollar contract from the Patriots. Okay, in April
of that year, ten years, one hundred million dollar contract. Sorry,
Bledsoe was gonna stay in the quarterback right, Belichick loved
Bledsoe wouldn't have been on board from getting a ten year,
hundred million dollar contract. You're not benching a hundred million
dollar quarterback for a six right, that's not happening Tom Brady. Yet.
(19:15):
I get that. Brady proved himself and he again from
a sixth round pick where you don't know if he's
gonna be in the league, to become the backup quarterback.
That's a great run, right, that's an awesome run. Awesome
run for him. But he wasn't about to become the starter.
Bledsoe wasn't about to get benched again four months before
Bledsoe signed ten years and one hundred and three million dollars. Right,
that wasn't happening. Now, if he's hurt and he's out
(19:36):
and Brady comes in, they wind up trade. But it's
not like if the Patriots started losing, Bledsoe was gonna
hit the bench. He didn't do that, right, Belichick knew
because what did he do in his previous stop and
in Cleveland? He got run out of Cleveland because what
did he do Bernie Coozar, one of the most beloved
players in Cleveland Brown's history, right, was probably at the
end of his career, and Belichick benched him for Vinny
(19:56):
Testa Verdi. It was so unpopular. Fans outside Brown's headquarters
petitioning and picketing and saying, you know, Belichick's gotta go.
How do you do this to Bernie Kozar who was
so beloved and Testa Vernie came in played okay, right,
better than people thought that. He had a big renaissance
with the Jets, you know, you know, a year or
two later. But Belichick, like he learned from that lesson. Boy,
(20:19):
I benched a quarterback, I wound up getting fired. He
wasn't gonna do that again. He wasn't gonna say, okay,
this is the guy that hey, here's one hundred million
dollar quarterback. So that wasn't happening. He wasn't going to
Brady in a week and all of a sudden, Brady
walking in and that wasn't happening. Right now, doesn't mean
Brady the error never would have taken off. Maybe at
the end of the year, Belichick wouldn't have been happy
(20:40):
enough with Bledsell thought he peaked, other teams would have
traded for bled Sell. But the whole to think that
just Brady was just it was gonna be the quarterback
eventually within a few weeks. That wasn't gonna happen again.
Four months before ten years one hundred and three million
dollar contract, which is like signing a three hundred million
dollar contract. Now, okay, that's the equivalent of it twenty
four years later.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
And the more general point for Boston and its sports,
not just the Patriots. You and I are old enough
to remember that Boston area sports. It was just this fatalistic,
calvinistic it's gonna happen to us again, isn't it Like
it's predetermined, Like whatever our team is, it's just not
gonna go well, because you know, we had the Reds
(21:21):
in the seventy five World Series and we had Game
seven at home and we didn't.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
We had been Mets in the eighty six.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
World Series, And.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
It turns out three of the greatest sports heroes in
that region's history kind of all came about by accident,
all of them. Belichick had signed to coach somebody else.
Brady was not gonna see the field that year, except
for an injury. David Ortiz went unclaimed for three weeks
in an offseason after he was let go by the
Minnesota Twins. It's just it's just dumb luck. It's I
(21:54):
I a lot. There was cheating involving the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, having the plays was good. Also knowing the pitches
that were coming was good. I'm just saying these are
things that help. Like, they helped teams.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Yeah, for those who are this were not like, that's
not an insult.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
What we're saying is Bill Belichick quite literally cheated with
the New England Patriots. They got a pass on the
sidelines so that a guy could film the other team's
signals and they could get the illegal edge that way.
How did they get a pass on the sidelines. They
said they lied as a cover up that he was
from NFL Films. Just put NFL Films on it.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Nobody.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Well, guess what, somebody somebody came up and caught him.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And hang on history, hang on, you're not Steve Sable.
You gotta tell hang on set. Well, it was the
one guy I knew at NFL Films with Steve Sable.
I put his name in.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
I don't knew what he was doing.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Was wrong, and the Red Sox when they got in
trouble for twenty eighteen, they knew what they it was.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
It was not only so wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
After the Red Sox cheated, and of course the manager
got fired, I believe he back. Now after that occurred,
major League Baseball changed its entire system of scouting and
videos so that nobody can do what the Red Sox did.
To say there was cheating is a statement of fact.
It's not meant to be an insult the.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Title winning.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But I don't think they have yet, Frostburg, if you
check on that, I think they can still have vacated, vacated.
David Price has to vacate that World Series back in
twenty eighteen. So, I mean, look, this is so understand
that that's the beginning of the Belichick era with the
Patriots and everything that's gone along with it and all
(23:41):
the pageantry and all that, and you know you're leading
up to where it was tonight getting pasted by thirty
four against TCU. Now this is shocking, right that this
is this is shocking to see TCU win against North Carolina.
This big the two biggest stories in college football this weekend,
and we'll continue to be the two biggest stories all year.
Arch Manning in Texas, Belichick and North Carolina. Right, Texas,
(24:04):
North Carolina, but more specifically arch Manning and Bill Belichick. Right,
because it's about them. Arch Manning bad this weekend against
Ohio State, right, Bill Belichick and Carolina awful against TCU
outside of the first drive of the game, with everybody
thought North Carolina was going to the playoffs, They're gonna
We're gonna roll through the acc It don't play anybody good.
(24:26):
Look at this. If you asked me which of these
two storylines is more shocking, you said to me before
the weekend and said, all right, Jason, here's what's gonna happen.
Arch Manning is gonna suck. Okay, Bill Belichick and North
Carolina are gonna suck. They're gonna get blown out. There's
hot mic stuff going on right now with Kirk Herbstreet
allegedly referring to North Carolina saying, wow, they're bad. Like
(24:49):
at the end of the third quarter, going to the
fourth quarter. If you asked me which which of these
results is more shocking, I would still tell you arch
Manning because Belichick in North Carolina. Look, this was not
a great team. This is not where suddenly he flipped
a bunch of recruits who came in and all of
a sudden, here come these five star guys. No, he
got his starting quarterback for tonight. I think a week ago.
(25:12):
I think he got him a week He actually got
him after spring practice. Okay, so you're talking about a
kid who's got elam Yeah, who didn't get to campus
until after spring practice is over. So that's a big deal. Yes,
he got some good recruits, which is great, right. You
like what he did, you know following him in the
offseason was getting guys coming. It was awesome. But this
(25:34):
is not suddenly where hey, I've shown up and i
flipped a bunch of guys and I'm gonna turn a
middle of the pack North Carolina team into an elite team,
right like fran Just to compare to acc Fran Brown
at Syracuse last year, Syracuse won ten games. I mean,
it was the best season we've had in twenty years.
I was on a magic carpet ride. Why Because he
flipped Kyle Bleep and McCord from Ohio stage one of
(25:55):
the best quarterbacks in the country. He flipped guys from
Georgia and Alabe and Texas A and M and they
came in and were studs and we won ten games. Like,
oh my god, Belichick didn't do that. Right, This is
still the year one of Belichick coming in and North
Carolina was just a mid program last year. TCU a
better program. Right, This is a good Bowl team. They
(26:16):
won eight games a year ago, and you could see
they had the better quarterback. Tonight, they had the better team.
They were more focused. After that first drive. It was
an absolute clinic. It was chunk yardage for TCU every
single time. Now, am I little surprise at forty eight fourteen? No,
if you told me thirty five twenty one, that's what
I'm thinking. More, you know, thirty four twenty one, thirty
(26:36):
four to twenty three, they lose by ten or fourteen.
But this was an absolute ass kicking after that first drive.
But I thought TCU was gonna win this game and
win it handily. Arch Manning, Yeah, I was stunned. I
was stunded at how bad he looks, Steve. I was
stunned at how nervous he was in the beginning. I
was stunted how he threw some of his passes in
the game and there's no pass you need to look
(26:59):
at more than that big third down play on their
final possession where you're saying, how do you throw that?
What is that throw? How do you miss it? Miss
You can't miss that throw Like it's not all of
a sudden, it's not that Hey, he's under to rest.
The entire game in Ohio State had him not knowing
where to go with the football, like he missed throws.
And in the end, this is a really talented Texas
(27:21):
team that is just as talented as Ohio State. Yes,
tough to go in Week one in Columbus, no question,
but if you're a really good quarterback, you have somewhat
of a good game. Right. The other big games involving
top ten teams, the quarterbacks all played better than arch
Manning did. Right. Both quarterbacks in Miami and Notre Dame
played better. Both quarterbacks LSU Clemson played better. These are
(27:43):
all top ten teams. They are playing kids, Okay, club
Nick was good, Garrett Nussmeyer was a little bit better,
Carson Beck was really good. CJ. Carr was was good enough,
he'll be fine at Notre Dame. But arch Manning was
what is happening? And it's not like he's come in
with no no experience when ers, Hey, it's his first
time cut. He's played in nine games last year, he
(28:03):
played in big games. He came in and played when
quinn Ewers got hurt. Like I thought, going going in,
What did I say this game, Hey, Texas gonna win.
I got him thirty one to twenty three. Arch Manning
makes plays with his legs, He runs for about fifty
to fifty five yards, he throws for two or three touchdowns,
like this is what it's gonna be, And instead it
was that awful for him. And I don't even know
(28:24):
if Ohio State is that good. You think Ohio State
is good? I mean fourteen to seven, Like, we don't
know how good Ohio State. Maybe both teams stink, oh
my goodness, hot take, but we don't know how good
they are. And still it was an offense that didn't
score in the first half and a second half where yes,
things were a little bit better, but still seven points.
It was seventy. You can't, I mean you can't. I
(28:45):
mean that's yeah, that's that's like Army Navy in nineteen
forty seven. I mean, that's why, that's why I am
really I am more stunned at at arch Manning having
that bad weekend, that bad at day Saturdy than I
allow your fault losing here. Well we'll get to that,
we'll get to why arch Manny is all my fault.
But the bottom line is I am more surprised that
(29:09):
that is my fault.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
It's not that they didn't move the bowl. Remember they
had a couple of early third down conversions. The problem was,
in such a low scoring, tight game, they just one
or two times literally needed to make the play and
didn't that that fourth and goal that they were stopped.
I mean that is dying for You know, a Heisman
Charles White type of back, a herschel Walker, somebody that
(29:32):
can leak leap over the line like Ladanian Tomlinson used
to do, and you have a cinch touchdown. Instead you
get it to the quarterback and he doesn't even get
to the line of scrimmage. It was one for five
on fourth downs. That's the difference in the game. As
bad as some of the throws were.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Wow, you went back to Charles White. Very nice, Steve O.
Thank you went back to Charles what nineteen eighty Heisman
seventy nine. I always get confused him and Billy Simms
won seventy nine Bill Sims and then it was Charles White.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Yeah, is that what it was?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Won the row?
Speaker 3 (30:03):
There was no video replay, and he made one of
those leaps over the lines and they knocked the ball
out before he got to the goal line. But okay,
it's still a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
And he did have one great year with the Rams.
He did have one year he ran for like fourteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Yards renaissance late in his career. Man, he was a
pro bowler that year in Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yes, he was so good. Charles White. Uh. Now, there
are other things that happened tonight in the wide world
of sports, clearly none bigger than Juan Soto's Grand Slam
home run, two run triple for the Mets in their
huge win over the today over the Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Well to mention it now, my wife's.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Family who didn't text me at all after the after
Juan Soto's trip, Right, Soto hits the Grand Slam, and
and there and they and the Tigers tie at six
to six. I get all kinds of texts from my cousin,
my brother in law, every I get all kinds Sodo
triples to make it eight six, I get nothing. I
get crickets from then the rest of the day. No,
Wan Soto's great. Uh So the saga has more. He's
(31:01):
got ten quick facts about Wan Soto in addition to
what is trending in the wide world of sports.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Actually one great one from stat seeing the fact that
in his last four games he has four home runs
and a triple and three stolen bases and eleven RBIs.
It's been one hundred years plus since RBI even became
an official stet. There's only one other major league player
that has those marks in a four game stretch. They
(31:25):
mentioned this on the telecast today. Shockingly, it's Ryan Klesco.
You could have go wow Ryansco all night and all
season without coming up that name. But four homers the
last four games, eleven RBIs plus a triple and three
steals in.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
The last four to one.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Soto with the win for the Mets ten to eight
at Detroit. Today's Soda with the Grand Slam two run triple,
Edwin Diaz the save. However, the Phillies are still six
games up on the Mets in the NL East. The
Phills won ten to eight at Milwaukee with two runs
in the ninth Phillies record eight fifty eight. You know,
there is deservedly a lot of attention on the NL
(32:04):
West race. The Dodgers barely ahead of the Padres. As
it stands right now, whoever wins the NL West does
not get a bye for the first round because the
Phillies are ahead of them in the overall NL standings.
Padres did lose at home four to three to Baltimore,
and they lost to reliever Jason Adam at All Star,
one of their great back end of the bullpen arms.
(32:25):
He suffered a ruptured quad tendon. They didn't say he's
out for the season, but it is the type of
injury that would be that serious. The Idol Dodgers first
in the NL West, now two and a half games
over the Padres. The Dodgers will be playing at Pittsburgh
and Baltimore this week in the AL West. Houston first place,
now three games over the Mariners. Houston beat the Angels
(32:46):
eight to three, while Seattle was beaten ten to two
at Tampa Bay. The late game to Texas at six
straight win a ten inning victory at Arizona seven to
five thanks to two runs in the ninth, two runs
in the tenth. It's not over for the Texas Rangers
thinking playoffs this year. They're now only a game and
a half behind Seattle for the last AL wildcard. Magical
(33:08):
win at Cincinnati and the Reds still four games out
of the last NL wildcard behind the Mets. Cincinnati, with
three in the bottom of the ninth, beat Toronto five
to four.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
The Blue Japs way to go Blue Jayson Bullpen way
to go.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Toronto had just scored three runs in the top of
the night. The Blue Jays are the first place team
in the AL East, but now it's just a two
and a half game edge over both the Yankees and
Red Sox. Boston was a home winner, six to four
over Cleveland. Eraldus Chapman the save. He officially got his
extension for next year. A's and White Sox each one
on the road. Washington with a victory to end an
(33:41):
eight game losing streak. San Francisco an eight to two
winner at Colorado. The Giants have won eight of their
last nine, and the Cubs beat Atlanta in ten innings,
seven to six. Yes tonight's college football game went to
TCU forty eight fourteen at North Carolina the horn Frogs
with nearly two hundred and sixty yards rushing and over
two hundred eighty yards passing in the debut of North
(34:03):
Carolina coach Bill Belichick. Defensive end Micah Parsons was limited
in his first practice at Green Bay. He has a
joint spring in his back. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, with
his bad back, is expected to start the opener Sunday
against the Texans. At the US Open in New York,
Naomi Osaka beat Coco Golf in a fourth round match
six three six y to two. Number two seed Egas
(34:25):
Fiantec also advanced Tonight number eight Amanda A Nissimova one,
and Yes Venus Williams is playing doubles. She won her
third round match with teammate Layla Fernandez. Three WNBA games
wins for Minnesota Atlanta and La took the late contest
at Seattle ninety one eighty five.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Back to You, Thank You, Steve O. The Jason Smith
Show with Steve Desager in for Mike Harmon. Coming up next,
we have more on the US the UNC defeat at
the hands of TCU. Sometimes stats come and go. You
hear a lot of numbers in sports, obviously, but there
is a stat that we're gonna bring you coming up
next that seems like there's no way it's true, but
(35:04):
it actually is. What is it? You'll hear it next.
Jason Smith, Steve de Sager, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show was special delivery
Steve de Sager in from Mike Harmon and part of
the loss, horrible loss that North Carolina had to TCU tonight,
(35:41):
And this gets into a bigger point. We talked about
Belichicken and Brady a few minutes ago tonight. Geo Lopez,
who we talked about a few minutes ago, became North
Carolina starting quarterback this summer. Didn't join the team until
after spring practice, hit the transferportal out of South Alabama
(36:02):
after the spring, so he wasn't around very long and
he shows up tonight and boy did he struggle. This
is a stat that you're not gonna believe, but it's true,
and it gets into a bigger point about Belichick. At
eight twelve pm Eastern, time, he completed a nineteen yard
pass to Jordanship. Right, what is it with Carolina, all
(36:23):
these Jordans, Michael Jordan, Jordan, Hudson j So it completes
a nineteen yard pass to Jordan Ship. By the way, Yeah,
eight twelve pm. Eight twelve pm Eastern Time, completed a
pass to Jordanship. His next completion was at ten twenty
pm Eastern Time, two hours and eight minutes after his
(36:48):
last completed pass. You could have saw him complete that
pass to Jordan Ship. Went and watched weapons, finished watching
the entire movie, gone back and not missed a Geo
Lopez completed pass.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
And this is, by the way, the quarterback who ran
the offense that went straight down the field on the
first drive of the game for a quick seven to
nothing lead. Lopez winds up with one interception, one fumble,
and one injury tonight.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
That's called a defensive adjustment, Steve. That's what Sonny Dykes
is going to say. Af we adjusted defensively following that
first possession. I was proud of the guys and what
they did after that.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
How about this for the TCU dominance in the last
twenty seasons, the only team in FBS college football. To
have all this in the same game is TCU tonight
to have two rushing tds of at least twenty five
yards each, a passing TD of at least twenty five yards,
an interception return TD of at least twenty five a
fumble return TD of at least twenty five yards, all
(37:48):
of that in the same game tonight. For TCU, Bill
Belichick had never allowed all of that in an entire
season as a head coach in his life. And it
all occurred in one night at North Caroline into the Sea.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
What do you got, Frostberg? You got one too?
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Oh, I got a stat that's way better than yours.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
What that's a dude? Come on. The guy went an
entire full length movie with previews in between completing passes.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
I mean, we'll let the people decide.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Okay, okay, what do you got?
Speaker 4 (38:14):
When the game was forty one to seven with six
fifty nine left in the third quarter, okay. Coincidentally, Bill
Belichick was forty one when Jordan Hudson was seven. I
know really got thinking.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, I'm thinking. I think the math. I think that
I think that's math that actually it needs to be
a little bit bigger a law. I think it needed
to be like, uh, I think it needed to be
like sixty two to seven.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Right, it's a different game this week, and I don't
know it for a fact.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
I just know it's true. But look, but this gets
into it and I'm trying to do the math. Now
it's more than thirty three years, man, it's like almost
almost fifty years.
Speaker 6 (38:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Look, this is the thing that Belichick's got to learn
about college football. And again, why is he not a
coach in the NFL anymore? When he started to run
the Patriots his way and Bob Kraft decided, Okay, i'll
cowtouty you you're the guy, will push Brady out a
year early. And look what happened. Belichick shop for the groceries,
(39:16):
he made the food. It was terrible, His restaurant closed.
It was awful, to the point where Belichick found his
own way out of the NFL because he had lost
his fastball. Right, he tried to build these drafting players
who were coming out of small colleges in the first round.
It's like, what are you doing? It's like he was
drafting badly on purpose, Like, hey, I know the Patriots
are gonna fire me at some point. I just want
to make sure I leave this little talent as possible.
(39:39):
Like Belichick lost his fastball and.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
He's got losing seasons three of the last four years.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Yeah, I mean, look the Jets. The Jets killed him
out of They retired him out of the NFL, losing
that last game walking off the field like the Jets
did it to him. He showed that I don't know
that you can't trust him with building a team anymore.
It's why no NFL t hired him. But to think
about this is like you think he would have learned
his lesson about having a quarterback that Belichick comes in
(40:06):
and he's Bill Bleeping Belichick. Man, we knew he was
gonna be the coach a long time before spring practice.
How is Belichick not out there getting a quarterback in
the transfer portal that's a really big name, Like look
like g Lope has had a really good year last
year with South Alabama, but he hit the portal late
and he comes in and wins the job. Like, how
is Belichicken out there understanding when I don't have a quarterback,
(40:28):
life is miserable. How does he not go out and
get somebody big how did he not go out and
convince Carson Beck to come to North Carolina for a year,
or or convince somebody to come Caden Salter to go
to transfer to Colorado from from from Liberty there, and said, like,
how does he how is this what he winds up
with a quarterback when he saw, Hey, you saw what
happened when you thought you could make it work with
(40:49):
with Mac Jones and Cam Newton when clearly these guys
were not that guy.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Because his buddy Nick Saban said, hey, you got to
go with this Mac Jones guy. I think you're gonna
you're gonna in with him. You know, Bill Belichick did
completely out coach the young Sean McVay. Remember in that
Super Bowl against the Rams. However, they didn't win a
play The Patriots didn't win a playoff game the rest
of his career.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I really mean, you would think that he would some lessons.
You say, okay, I understand this, I got to learn this.
And now he's struggling at quarterback, struggling everywhere like this
is again see why Belichick's not in the NFL. He
is at North Carolina. Here it is right here, exit
out about a fresca coming up next, you will hear
Bill Belichick following this huge defeat and some of the
shocking things that he said, because what he said
