Tons of fun stuff from the Giants dominant victory over
the Patriots night, not just if you bet the over
or the Giants giving the points uh or you love
little Tommy DeVito Tommy Cutlets, who may or may not
make the Giants roster like probably not? Could he be
the fourth quarterback?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Could he?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Could they do? The Cleveland Browns carry more? No, No,
I mean look, because there's nothing else you make it
a reality show for the season. Here's Jackson Dart, There's
Russell Wilson, There's Jamis Winston, and over there's little Tommy Cutlets.
Come on, you got every every demographic is represented. Drug
we want that. We meant Tommy Cutletz back guy, we
(01:32):
got Tommy Cutlins. Uh yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's the thing, is that the four or five quarterbacks
for the Browns getting all the news the last few weeks. Remember,
the Giants got a whole bunch of things happening too
with with their their Flacco is Russell Wilson right there,
Jackson Dart is Shador Sanders there, Jamis Winston, is is
Tyler Huntley. There, Tommy DeVito is Dylan Gabriel. That's all
(01:57):
the same. It's like the bizarro world on Seinfeld Yeah,
and they run into each other on the street. Well
you can just call him Feldman, right, I was like,
is Isaiah Feldman? Yeah? Uh so or Fargus before we
I think it was Feldman, Yeah, justin Fargus, former running
back for these then open son of Huggy Bear. Yeah,
(02:18):
went to school just up the road. Yeah, Sherman. Ook's
notre dame name. I met Huggy Bear at one of
his games. Did you yeah, that's good. Did you call
him Huggy Bear? No? Oh, okay, called him sir. I
mean people probably probably did Tony. He probably said, hey,
how you do it?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Greg? You know what, though, that's great. You've been traded
on that for fifty years. Why stop now? It's like
Houston Dunstan didn't interview saying people have been saying my
name wrong for the last thirty years, Like wha wait, really, yeah,
people have been saying my name wrong. What it's like
everybody that's that we've had in sports, right, people still
call Tyrod Taylor the Tarad Taylor Tyrod even though he said,
here's my name now, it's Jean Robinson. That's when he said,
(02:56):
you're still gonna be Bjean Jean. Yeah, Jane, because you know,
because I year, I hear Bjon Robinson, I think Djon musterd.
I think about having a sandwich. It's not a bad way.
It works right there, Mustards. So do you think they
have a promo for him this football season where every
touchdown he scores, every touchdown Bejon Robins, great pup, get
(03:16):
some pardon me? Maybe that's a commercial where they rolled
down the window. He's he's in a limousine. Do you
have any grey poupon like it? Bring it back?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Now, before we get to the big Jackson Dart topic
and Russell Wilson topic from tonight, sometimes broadcasters learn a
very expensive lesson. Sometimes they learn one that could be expensive.
Sometimes learn one that people just laugh at. This was
the case tonight for Ryan Fitzpatrick, former quarterback. Smart quarterback.
(03:47):
You know he went to Harvard. He's a wizard. His
kid's smart to remember all the math games they played
when he was younger. The end of the game too. Yeah,
that's right, Yeah, there he is. Uh So, the the
hot mike situation is something that is clearly a bugaboo
for broadcasters all over the place. So in the pregame
show before the game tonight on Prime Patriots Giants, Fitzpatrick
(04:12):
didn't know they were live. They're just kind of messing
around before the game, and CHRISA. Thompson asks Ryan Fitzpatrick
his opinion of Jackson Dart and just screwing around. Ryan
Fitzpatrick says this, not realizing his microphone is hot from
Jackson Dart. It's exciting. He's got leadership. He's got intelligence,
(04:33):
and he's got moxie, which is a fun thing. I
don't like his release. I think it's slow. He dances
like Drew Locke. I'm not a huge fan. I don't
think Giants fans would be excited at all.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Okay, we'll definitely say that on air.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So great? Ah? Oh wait, you mean that was going on? Oh? Man?
So I really shouldn't have said that. Should I should
should have stuck to something else, A little bit more
of vanilla, no matter how big that sarcasm bucket is
dripping under me. Probably shouldn't have said that because it'll
live forever. Nah. And you know, and the thing is,
he's just messing around. Yeah, but this shows you how.
(05:08):
Look and we just we just celebrated and not celebrated,
but immemorated of Tom brennanman who gave his career away.
Because broadcasting, you always have to assume the microphone is hot, right,
That's the first lesson they tell you. Always assume your
microphone is on. And in radio it's easy because I
could just sit here and just turn my microphone and
(05:29):
turn it back on and turn it back on.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
It.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I can do it myself. I look, there's a big
button that I know if my microphone is on or not.
But the walls still may he TV not so much TV.
You have to try. You trust that the production truck
is going that the audio engineer is going to turn
your mic off and on. When it happens, the director
is going to call for it. So yeah, when you're
rehearsing and your mic is hot and it's going out somewhere,
(05:52):
you have to understand the mic is always hot. And
Tom brennanman learned a very expensive lesson and lost his
career for it, and now is just kind of getting
back five years later. Now. Granted, what he said way worse,
obviously than what Ryan Fitzpatrick said. But for fitz Patrick,
let's just say he wanted to get a little extemporaneous,
not that he would say something of the Tom Brennan
except but what if he just let up a whole
(06:13):
bunch of curse words. What if he was saying something
as a complete joke about dart about and all of
a sudden you find yourself in hot water Like this
is one of those lessons where yes, it's funny, we
get to laugh at it because he just I don't
think Giants fans are gonna be excited at all. It's
kind of funny. And then CHRISA. Thompson with the big line, Okay,
we'll definitely say that in the air, but realizing that
(06:34):
this could have gone a lot worse, man, this could
have gone a lot worse for you if you were
just joke. And again, not that he would ever say
something that we were talking about with Tom Brennan, but
if you say something that suddenly whoa man, that's not
as easily dismissed because you're either cursed or you said
something you really shouldn't have said. You said something blue.
I mean, there's many things you can have said trying
(06:55):
to be funny that would not be able to just
be oh, yeah, there he is, that's what and then
you don't have a debate of what got bleeped out?
I mean, because it's all that is true. No, that
is true. Yeah, yeah, that's right there. Because you don't
have the fun with it. Now, people are just like
is this ai like that? That's where we're at in
twenty twenty five at State Did he really say this?
And people are trying to make a big thing out
(07:17):
of it, even though Carrissa very quickly. You know the
way she tagged it. Let you know, hey, you know,
good good by. We'll say that's fine, that's great, that's good.
How long do you think we are away from the
following happening? Thinking about this?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You just said, how far away are we from some
kind of audio getting out that is attributed to an athlete, coach,
some sports personality that really embarrasses them, that to the
extent where WHOA, your career is at stake, or there's
a suspension, there's something going on, and the person says,
that wasn't me. That must have been AI. That must
(07:51):
have been A because I didn't say that, that must
have been AI. Somebody has it in for me, and
someone put this out there that was not me. That
was clearly artificial intelligence. Oh, I mean this, this is
better than getting hacked. It's okay, all right, sure, you're
you're going to be able to probably have all sorts
of stuff that you do wilding in your real time. No,
(08:14):
that's clearly not me. Okay, you can see the hiccup
right in the front of me. I don't dance like that.
That's not me. You want, okay, you want a really
good story. I've never told this story, but this is
this is a great story. Do we need the music
for this long No? I might, but this is that
gonna stue. Do you want the Captain American Music or
Bruce Springs but the secret Option scene? You want to
bring back that band? That? No, Tyshert's working on a
(08:37):
very special project for the final hour of the show
that I can't wait to do, which is that That's
what they call it teas in the radio business. Now
Tyshert's working project. It starts his vacation when I leave
for my vacation early. No, he's working very special assignment
we're going to have in the final hour excited about.
So when I'm a I was a senior in high
school and I'm working at supermarket Pathmark in New York
(09:00):
and they always it's the biggest. I think it was
the biggest supermarket on the East Coast the time where
I worked. Of course, I only go where it's busy.
I shop at the busiest Costco in the country, and
I worked the busiest Pathmark. Right, it's so much so
like the produce department, we had like fifteen people that
worked in the department, right, was that big a deal. Now,
the store had cameras that would slide along aisle of
(09:23):
the aisle so they could follow people if they were stealing,
if something was going on, if there was a fight, like,
they had cameras. And the thing is, we could always
see the camera just because we could see it a
little bit, like it wasn't completely behind you, it was
completely covered. You could see the camera move and you
knew what it was in the aisle. And there was
a guy at work who I was working with that
(09:46):
you know, they would always stop, like if any if
it looked like we were hanging out in the aisle,
if we were just talking to each other and the
camera stops in the aisle and it's in there because
we're talking for a couple minutes, we're just hanging out.
We're not working. We decided we did our stuff for
a few minus, we're just gonna hang out on the
aisle and take it break. So we're hanging out talking
and the camera comes and if you're doing that, like
you know, someone tells you to come get back to work.
The store matag say, hey, you gotta get back to work.
(10:07):
So I think it was one of his first days
in the story and he didn't know, and he uh uh.
We said, hey, the camera's on the cameras. That camera's
not on. We talk, that camera's not on. And he
starts making faces, doing all kinds of stuff and the camera,
that camera's not on. They're doing all this stuff. It's like, dude,
stop doing it. But we all took our stuff and
we left and all this and all this everything, and
(10:30):
then about five minutes later they called him to the
security office. Oh no, they's pretty security. Police and security
were like, oh no, oh my god, oh my god.
So he leaves, comes back like fifteen minutes later, and
we said, what happened? Did you get fighting? So fine?
We talking about He said, did you get fire? You stick?
He goes. What do they do? He goes, Well, they
(10:50):
showed when the camera was in the aisle and you
know when when we were hanging out and stuff and
I started making faith do all I see he goes,
but it was really blurry. I said, yeah, he goes,
So what do you mean he goes? So they said,
can you explain this? And I just said, that's not
me and the guy was so supposedly the guy was
so said, well, it's not what do you mean it's
not you? He goes, it's not it's not me. It
(11:12):
wasn't me, that's you. It's the same hab I got
your on camera. Met he wasn't me. It wasn't me.
It wasn't me. And and and well this this is
before Shaggy came out. And apparently the security guy like
didn't know what to say, like, that's not like in
the hand, But what do you do when a guy
says it's not me? He said, just go back to work.
And so we went back to work, and as far
(11:32):
as I know, nothing ever happened all because the camera
was on a video of him doing that, and he
just said, yeah, it wasn't me, that wasn't me. Yeah,
that's not me. I was like like, boy, break it's
a guy with a mask me. What do you want?
And then we're all hoping, okay, you're not gonna call
us in because apparently the guy, the guy was just
so bamboozled by it. He just said, yeah, no, it's
that's not me. It's not no, he's but not me.
(11:55):
He didn't do anything. We're like, wow, man, I think
I think we used up a lot of karma right there.
For something like we're gonna like this is this is
where the karma god just saying right now, we'll get
even with you at some point. Yeah, I just hope
you didn't do anything to Uh. Wasn't me. This wasn't me.
Wasn't because if he'd done something really egregious, then it
would have been the guy would have asked for more help.
I think security guard might have made it a bigger
It wasn't me. It's one of those things where if
(12:17):
you showed your manager, the manager would have no choice
but to do something and discipline you because you're thumbing
your nose at the you know you're not working. First
of all, we're not working. We're standing in the aisle
just talking to each other and uh and and and
then you know the the uh. Because at night, the
department managers were all gone, so it was all the
high school people that worked at night. Like six attention.
(12:37):
There was one store manager who you always had to
know where that person was at all times, Like, okay,
he's here. We're good. We're good for a few minutes,
whatever it was, We're good. It was like the police
cars on Lake Shore. He's company's company's company something, all right, right, scattered, scattered,
looks like you're working. So we were okay hanging out
in the aisle that where if he just rounded the corner,
we would just pretend we were talking about something and
then just when we would just split and walk away. See,
(12:59):
you would have been helped in that store like they
do now where they do the energy saving. So if
there's nobody actively working in those aisles, they go dimmer. Yeah,
so if they lit up, it means you either got
a rat problem or your boss is walking down thats
we get a rappro Look at the lights they're going out.
We got a rat, or we got our boss. So anyway,
(13:21):
just to understand that Ryan Fitzpatrick really dodged a bullet tonight,
And you gotta understand, Look, you always know, the mic
is always on, the mic is always well. He posted
something to his social media. I can't wait to hear
the audio that he actually put up, because it is
him and Carissa. A twenty two second clip may very
well be the clip that we listen to, but I
gotta verify because he might just be trying to get
(13:42):
trolled by people with this. Boy. Hey, well here's what
I said. You like it listen, it's a preseason game.
Will we get more attention if I do a hot
mic thing and people will talk about it? Because it's
the Giants and the Patriots. They both stink out loud
like we could use this as a hot mic moment.
Tell you how bad both of these teams stink? Is
(14:03):
that working? Is it working? Is it working? Great? Look
at all the attention. You can thank me in the Postman,
Yeah have it? That's great. Exit out about a Fresco

friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Jason, Billy Joel okay John, Oh, the entire catalog?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yes, wow, they each each of them does like one
of my top ten songs of all time. Yeah, what
what's your Billy Joel? Well, scenes from an Italian restaurant?
Okay yeah yeah? And Tiny Dancer pretty good? I oh, well,
you know Mona Lisa's and Manhatters. Oh wow. You know
what really grew on me when I saw him at
(16:49):
Dodger Stadium though, what's that?
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Have?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Mercy on the criminal? Bam? Like great guitar work. You know,
I would say I would say this despite the fact
that Scenes from an Italian Restaurant is probably want my
top five favorite songs of all time. The catalog of
Elton John is probably something I listened to more like
if Billy Joel's songs come on the radio, like just
(17:10):
the Way You Are comes on or something, I'm like, yeah,
I might turn it off, like I'll listen to Seams
Italian Restaurant or River of Dreams or We Didn't Start
the Fire, but a lot of other stuff will like yeah,
I'll turn it. But Elton John probably more than I
stick around and stay stick in. But see the other
other part. I mean, Billy Joel has collaborated a bunch
during the years, but Elton John's played with everybody. So
(17:31):
I mean you got the Duelipa there, and you go
back when he did the live version of Stan and
everybody got mad at him with Stan. Why are you
so mad? They because they they asked him to do it,
like they remember they didn't ask Dido, right like she
was like they didn't ask her. I say, well, we
want Elton John to do it, okay. And wasn't that
the version where Eminem flipped everybody off at the end
(17:52):
of his version? Right like he stuck his middle fingers
up and he got off the But then Elton John
had to keep explaining why he was Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Are you the same mic too, you go, Elton?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah? Okay.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Who do you guys think has more downloads on Spotify?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Billy because of scenes from an Italian He's got four
or five songs?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Well, and look and everybody on Long Island downloads at
least one song a day, no matter what, so it
CAUs he all goes exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
So fun fact, Billy Jill has thirty three million a
month and Elton John is forty six.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
How about that? So it is Elton John. It is
so interesting.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Okay, all right, very good, All right, Well I got
that means I am I am, I am lax on
my listening to scenes from an Italian restaurant every Mike, No,
I mean we do use it for show purposes quite free.
Yeah yeah, cold beer, hot lights, my sweet romantic to yea.
So we are less than forty eight hours away from
(18:51):
the college football season. Get those noisemakers out. Pete Futag
joins us tomorrow night to preview the games of this
week zero Week zero football big Picks, Heisman Trophy, playoff
teams playoffs. So we got action coming up, and there
is nobody bet. When I say action, I think of
this man, former odds maker at Caesars. Check them out
(19:14):
on CBS, longtime friend of the show on Twitter at
Todd Furman. It is in fact Todd Furman. Todd, what's
happening man? How are you on this Thursday night in Vegas?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I'm doing well, Smith, But I had a collect the pieces.
I watched very emotional show on Amazon after the Giants
and Patriots preseason game ended. Apparently it's all about the
New York Jets and it chronicles the heartbreak of what
it's like to be a wife or girlfriend for players
on that franchise that continues to disappoint everybody that roots
for Gane Green. So it took me a little bit
(19:47):
to regroup in time to talk to you guys.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
That's okay because that show has so many seasons. Because
the next season is the fans who have to deal
with the franchise, and it's people who have to live
with people who are fans of the franchise, family members,
and it's wives and girlfriends and husbands who had to
deal with living with people who are so depressed over
being Jets fans. There's like five or six seasons of
that coming out. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I mean, the bottom line is this. It felt like
a genuine Greek tragedy, with the tragic flaw being hubrisk
because people thought excessive pride that the Jets were somehow
going to be good, only to be let down and
disappointed by the two years of the Aaron Rodgers era.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
See. Well, that's the thing. See, this is what teams
like the Jets and I can say Chargers because Frostburg's
not here, but like certain teams like I would I
would be okay if my team was just bad, right,
if my team was just bad, I get it. But
teams like the Jets, Chargers, a few others, no matter
what it is, every year they give you just enough
hope to make you think this year could be different,
(20:44):
and then you get let down and it's worse. I'd
rather know we're gonna stink going in because I don't
have expectation. You leave my bears alone. No, I mean,
looks Smith.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Normally I'd like to agree with you here, but the
Jets have just been bad for about fifteen years. So
there's not a whole lot of heartbreak that's going on.
Figuring out if you're going to draft third or draft seventh.
Isn't the kind of heartbreak that I think most people
were a thing about. Perfectly encapsulated, Scott, the last.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Two years have been incredible expectations because of Aaron Rodgers.
Come on man like that. They were through the roof.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Look, unrealistic expectations are one thing. I mean, if my
parents thought I was going to be a Rhodes scholar
at two years old, they had a lifetime of disappointment
in front of them. That's kind of how Jets fans should.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Feel over the last fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Well, you became a goaliean you played goalie in college for.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
A while, and they questioned my life decisions every day
thereafter as a result of that, despite the caliber of
education I was able to receive.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
In the next GX, see I got that last week
with my parents give me a bunch of nonverbal shrugs
as if they were doing the same thing to me,
Tod So Tom, before we get in here, I got
to ask you what what was a bigger number for you?
The number of the percentage wise of bets you make
that you're right on, or your safe percentage in college.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
My fayor percentage by default had to be a shade higher,
because if I was winning about eighty six percent of
my bet it's a stay percentage, it would look in
rarefied air. And as much as I enjoy my Thursdays
or Friday nights talking to you knuckleheads, I would probably
not be spending my time with you if I was
winning eighty six percent of my bet.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I'm incredibly charming and insightful, but yeah, no, I gotta
get It's so week zero in the college football world,
Todd Stanford, and why is it two and a half
point spread? We got a couple of double digits. How
excited are you for the games to get back onto
the field on Saturday?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Look, it's always fun to get things going in earnest.
I mean, college football has the longest offseason of any
major sport, and so I think, you know, most casual
fans count down to the days until they get to see
their favorite programs out there again. And we're giving a
tree here with two teams that'll be buying for a
Big twelve conference championship. This year to kick things off
in Ireland, bright and early out for all of us
(22:57):
on the West coast between Iowa State and Kansas State.
Do I wish there was a better off betting opportunity
to add of the five games that we'll see, Sure, absolutely,
But at the same time I get getting to see
a program like Kawhi that hasn't beaten a Power five
opponent in five plus years, a short home favorite playing
on national TV. You know, these are the kind of
opportunities that Week zero forward, some of these second tier
(23:19):
programs compared to the marquee matchups that every vote will
be discussed in, including the big new kickoff between Ohio State, Texas, Clemson, LSU,
and of course the Sunday fixture on Labor Day between
Notre Dame and the Miami Hurricane.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
So is there a game you like this week or
do you really need to see? Hey college football, you
need to see teams play for a week before you
can say, hey, this is what I like. I feel
confident about this.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Now you start to try and find you in those
power ratings. I mean, you get teams that become outliers
like Florida State last year, where I downgraded them about
three touchdowns from Week one through the regular season finale
against the Florida Gators. But there are a lot of unknowns.
Sometimes that leads betters to a good spot, and sometimes
you overvaluate or underestimate a lot of these programs that
(24:00):
are out there. So when I look at the five
games this weekend, you know I won't have any substantial
positions on numbers that are out there now. If anything, guys,
I kind of count the days to week two so
I can stop staring at the same betting board that's
been up there for three and a half months and
try and get into some fresher numbers. Once we have
a data point that hopefully we can learn a little
bit something about these teams and figure out who is
(24:22):
going to be over compensated for in the market a
role will be able to find a number that we
can pick off.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
We two got to imagine the last two three years
with all the transfers and chaos, have made things that
much more interesting. One of the ongoing topics in the
NFL Todd Micah parsons, do we have odds on his
next team?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Most offshore booksharm have actually pulled some of those prices
out there now. I mean Trey Hendrickson feels like he's
been connected to every franchise that doesn't actually have a
chance to win this year, most notably a lot of
fagot raiders out here in the desert because they realize
he can't stop the run coming off of the edge.
Michael Parsons though a little bit of a different client.
I mean the game breaker that's there. But it feels
(25:02):
like every time Jerry Jones opens his mouth, whether it's
in a documentary or his weekly radio spot, the two
sides get further and further apart. And while I know
a lot of people are optimistic that he's going to
be out there on that opening Thursday night two weeks
from today against the Philadelphia Eagles, I'm going to work
under the assumption that he won't be there and would
eventually expect a little bit of Eagles money and maybe
some over money to enter the market before kickoff that night.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So if I can read into what you're saying, you're
saying the Eagles, the over and lay the points.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
No, I'm not validating any of them.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I'm just trying to.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
See where the market's going. Although I have taken a position,
albeit small for now. Week one did back the New
York Football Giants plus the six and a half against
the Commanders. I think that the Giants can be a
team that are a little bit undervalued in their two
divisional games early on. And while I'm not going to
take much away from a forty two to ten shrubbing
where Tommy DeVito look like the second coming of Phil
(25:54):
Simms operating against the Patriots ups drivers in that second half,
I do think that this Giants defensive line can problems
and I think by default their quarterback play has to
be a little bit better. But hopefully Colts fans out
there are covering their ears when I say Russell Wilson
is an upgrade leading the Giants offense compared to the
Daniel Jones experience that we're going to see at Lucas
Oil Stadium Week one.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
To that end, how soon does Jackson Dark depose Russell Wilson?
Did we get odds on what week that occurs?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Uh? You know, it's an interesting because the Giants schedule
is extremely daunting. So when you try and identify where
it makes sense for these rookies to get a soft
landing spot, you know, you'd think it would be on
the road weeks? Was it week five five October when
they take on the Saints, an area where Jackson Dart's familiar,
having honed his craft in the SCC. But then things
get extremely more difficult because you're talking about a short
(26:44):
turnaround against the divisional rival against the Eagles, and then
playing Denver Philadelphia again in the forty nine or so.
I think the Giants are going to handle Jackson Dart
with kid gloves. But if there's an injury to Russell Wilson,
maybe he gets in there sooner rather than later. But
just such a very difficult spot, knowing that this Giants
offensive line has a lot of questions to answer, and
there doesn't appear to be a two to three week
(27:05):
stretch where they can let Jackson Dart land softly and
begin to show his NFL moxie.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
All right. So so lastly, Todd, if you'd the Giants
the first couple weeks you like them week one? Is
there a team you look at for the first month
of the season that you really like one way or another, Like, hey,
better than expected and they're going to really surprise people
or worse than expected. And this is the trend I'm
going to go on when I'm when I'm talking about
betting for the first.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Few weeks, you know, I have some real questions about
the Cincinnati Bengals. Quite honestly, I know they've gone out
there this preseason and conducted themselves very differently, letting Joe
Burrow get reps, hoping that that offense can hit the
ground running given the way that they've subbed their toe.
And while the schedule, at least on paper to the
first two weeks, a road trip against the division rival
against at Cleveland and being you know, right around a
(27:49):
five and a half six point favorite against Jacksonville week two,
then you're talking about a stretch for the Bengals where
they play back to back road games against the Vikings
and Broncos, a home date against Detroit, in a game
against green Bay if they don't come out of the
gates too and oh, I think the Cincinnati Bengals are
a team that's going to be overvalued given all of
that fantasy glitz and glamour on the offensive side, but
(28:10):
it's still a stop unit that may make the Northwestern
fan and harm and the Orange fan in you for
Syracuse extremely jealous that your teams can actually go out
there and tackle in space.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Now, we'll eventually talk about odds that Pat FitzGeralds is
back at Northwestern or the new head coach for Iowa
after today's news. But I got to go back to
your Twitter account from earlier, Todd, mister beast, if I
offered you a million dollars, but you only keep it
if the first person you call answers, who would you call?
Your response was, Hey, pain insider, are you sending me
right to voicemail? And Penny don't respond with that?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
And look, and of course he didn't respond to a tweet,
so I wouldn't second to pick up the phone. But
if I was betting a million dollars on someone that
wouldn't pick up the phone, I can put those that
are nearest and dearest to me at the top of
that list. Let's put it that list.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Vegas Insider Todd Furman. He is on Twitter at Todd Furman.
He always picks up the phone for us. Where can
you see him? Where can you hear him? Everywhere? CBS
Sports Sports Line, also on TSN Todd enjoy it man,
have fun this weekend. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Hey, always a pleasure, Jensen. The good part is it's
one of the last weeks that we can say that
Jets and Bears are both ties for the best record
in the National Football League.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Thanks Palth, appreciate you, and they'll be tied for the
worst record. Uh No, you know it's funny you talk
about that. Like somebody put that's a bit an interesting
question on on Twitter. You know, if if someone said,
I'll give you one hundred thousand dollars if you pick
one person to call, they have to answer the phone,
who would you pick? Like immediately, like I would default
to Pam and I said, well, I call my wife Beth.
(29:38):
But then I would think, but if she's like running
an errand she would see me and go, I'm doing
I'll call him back in two minutes. I'll call him
back at which she does like I'm going, who would
I like? Who would I call? Like that? That's a
real thing, like to know who would I call that
I guarantee they would pick up the phone for me
every single time, or the one time for one hundred
thousand dollars to pick up the phone. I don't know
if this really gets me depressed and By the way,
(29:59):
I add an ext zero for what beast put out there.
A million dollars doesn't matter. But either way, it could
be a sandwich. I'll give you a sandwich if you
pick up. The answer is, I don't have a single
person that I would say categorically picks up at any moment. Yeah, nobody,
because even my parents they may not hear the phone.
Not that it's one I don't want to hear it,
(30:21):
Like they're just not in the right room. It's gone
from it because you're not answering. Frostburg's not answering. It
depends not answering either of you either, So I mean
it depends on the time, it depends. But like, but
like that, that's gone away from from the the old
Oh uh, here's someone that I can just send a
voicemail to. Yeah, we can just send a text instead. No,
(30:44):
just you can just send a text, right, that actual
call to where it's sorry, that level of urgency of
all right, I got to pick this up because nobody.
I don't know that anybody. Like if I call somebody
and they don't answer, I don't leave a voicemail, I
hang up and send a text. Hey, call me get
a suck because I know they'll get that. Yeah. Generally,
you and I the only time we catch each other
on the phone is if we know we're both actively
(31:04):
driving into work. Yeah, yeah, we're coming home. Yeah, because
I know, like when I asked you the fantasy question,
asked you, you never texted me back.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I had.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I had to make the pick before. I thought you
would help me, but you didn't. So I made a pick.
So I'm okay. I mean I asked pick that. Yeah,
I asked you. Uh who is it?
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Who'd I ask you? Between two people? It was? It was, uh, yesterday.
I thought we did that a couple of days when
I missed one that was I think it was Jaden
Blue or Jaydon Noel or something like that. I know
I missed that. Yeah, I miss that entirely. I'm like,
all right, I guess, okay, that's fine. Blank you man,
thanks for nothing. Sorry. Check out the full podcast. I
watch Flax Running Back Position going up tomorrow time now
(31:45):
to find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
Is someone who, when she's produced the show, always answers
the phone when I've called her. It's bremureau Bree, what
do you have for us.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I love talking on the phone. I don't know if
I'm just like in the minority about that, but I
prefer talking on the phone.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I used to love talking on the phone. Now I'm like, okay,
I talk at him for four hours a night. Do
you think I need to talk anymore?
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Like you just think it's like, oh, this could be
a text, Like that's just like the mentality that everybody has,
like this is a test like that, or like this
could have been an email, like why are you talking
to me? When this could have been an email or
a text?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Now thinking of that scene from the Office when they
had all four people together, Bob vance Aldigger. We couldn't
do this on email. We could do that.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Yeah, I don't get that anyways, I've I haven't watched
I just like don't like that my recall at the office,
Like I think I just binged it and then like
I just I don't have a recall for it anymore.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It's weird, like good bye Toby, good Bye Toby, good
Bye Toby.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Yesterday we were playing that Chris Brown song for the office.
Alex was of like when Jim and Pamm got married
in Niagara.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Falls, it's super memorable. Yeah, okay, anyways, sorry not to
mention she's one of the great villains of television history.
We belong eight seven seven nights. We Belong together, Ryan,
We belong. However, I love Kelly Kapor.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Mindy Kayling is just such a go in female comedians. Okay, anyways.
Starting in Major League Baseball, the Red Sox did beat
the Yankees six to three. They snapped a three game
losing streaked. The Dodgers beat the Rockies nine to five.
The Padres defeated the Giants eight to four. Now they're
only one game behind LA in the NL West. The
(33:25):
Nationals beat the Mets nine to three. New York has
lost sixteen of their last twenty one. In NFL preseason action,
the Steelers defeated the Panthers nineteen to ten. The Giants
crust the Patriots forty two and ten. The Giants went
three and oh this preseason, which means nothing as we
head closer to the regular season. Jackson Dart went six
of twelve eighty one yards and one touchdown before he
(33:46):
had a concussion scare late in the first quarter. In
other NFL news, the Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh announced
that Trey Lance will start Saturday's preseason game at the
forty nine Ers, and New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen
Moore says Spencer Rattler are at quarterback in Saturday's preseason
finale against the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
But here's a question. It's the Saints. Will it really matter, Yes,
it will matter. Okay, I'm just making sure, Hey, someone
gets to say they were a starter week Okay, it's
a big deal.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
And I just like, I just think Setcha Ratler deserves
a shot.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
But that's just me. Then halftime of week one, it's
gonna be where's Tyler? Shuck? Where's Shuck? Get him in there?
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Yeah, he's an ARP camp.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
It's fine, Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. He actually is older
than Spencer Ratler is twenty six. I actually think the
kids didn't sling it. But that's just me. Exit out
out of Frasca, exit swollen down. Thank you very much,
brie Uh. Coming up next, we get back into a
big NFL story from today. Boy, do we have something
(34:45):
that's going to cause a lot of drama really early
in the season. That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Radio, the Mets make up Chuck. Now, we lost two
of three to the Washington Nationals. We're given a way
up playoff spot to the Reds. We're gonna clinch by
the middle of September. Psychologically reeling once again from another
(35:18):
big loss for the New York Metropolitans as a national
taken down Night three, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon Live in
the Fox Sports Radio studios, James Wood, the big Blow.
We are forty minutes away from Alex Tyshirt's very special
assignment that I gave him earlier in the show. He
(35:40):
said he'll be ready. Did you say as assignment or
a half hour sorry, half hour away from his assignment,
because you know, it's kind of like I said, ejek
got to do with Jerry Jones the Big Cowboys story
tonight that's coming up in about a half hour. Jerry,
I mean, Jerry five. That's pretty good. Five count fives
up up? Okay, one for every quarterback the Browns at night.
(36:03):
So tonight the Giants absolutely thumped the Patriots. Yeah they did.
Everybody that played quarterback for the Giants threw a touchdown,
including Phil Simms, including Jeff hosteler including Scott Bruner and
hosteler still got the mustache, including Joe Pisarcik sar Chick. Yeah,
then he then he then he fumbled a hand off
to Larry Zanka. Ah that too soon? Is that too
(36:23):
soon for the miracle the Middle Lands? Is that too soon? Soon?
Are you really going all the way back for a
positive note in your fandom other than that beautifully cut
off sweatshirt you got going on? I got a great
cutoff sweatshirt. It's a good look at Hartford Whaler's on you.
But check it out on the YouTube channel. The guy
who yes absolute one hundred percent just searched Jason smithser
(36:44):
on YouTube. But the guy who is getting all the
attention right now is the one who threw this touchdown,
takes the snack, stands in the pocket, fires over in
the middle cut touchdown. It's Dulcic, Dart hooking up with
Dulcic in consecutive games, and the Giants strike first three
minutes and one second into the game. Oh, by the way,
(37:06):
welcome back to fantasy relevance, potentially, Greg Delsich. It's been
a while. A choker in Denver, a couple of years now.
But yeah, now that works. We told you how accelerated
the timeline for Jackson Dart to start for the Giants
was getting when he was drafted, and over the course
at the beginning of the summer, hey, middle of the seasons.
What Russell Wilson has Then after the first week it was, hey,
(37:29):
a big week against the Jets. He's pushing that up
a bit. He has now had three games where he
has played terrific guess, albeit against different levels of defense
and different level but it doesn't matter. This is a
first round quarterback who the coaching staff and the general
manager want to stay on pass this year because they're
on thin ice and they want to show that we're
(37:49):
the ones who are ready for the Jackson Dart era
with the New York Giants. Jackson Dart will be the
quarterback by October first, by week five. That nice soft
landing against the Saints. Sorry, brit I know you're a
Saints fan. That nice soft beginning against the Saints. It
doesn't get any better than that. Short of a three
and one start by Russell Wilson. It's gonna be Jackson
(38:10):
Dart and the Giants aren't starting three and one. That
stuff two division games Kansas City and the Chargers at
the first month. Dart has shown you everything you need
to see in the preseason to show that he is
the future. He has a first round pick. First round
picks play again, especially when your head coach, your general
manager want to keep their jobs. There's no bit of
(38:32):
I feel beholden to Russell Wilson to continue to play him.
It's Russell Wilson's gonna play until his time for Jackson Dart,
and you will know when that happens. And they're gonna
want to get him as much play as possible. He's
gonna want to play a spin as much of the season,
playing as he can, and he has shown that he
is ready to handle. You see the the Giants say
glowing things about him every single day. And that's that's
(38:53):
the crazy part, man. As I expected to come in
and see hey, Giants player as saying great things about
Russell Wilson. He's our guy, and hey, Jackson's coming along.
We love him too. But it said every day is
a Jackson Dart love fest, and it's oh yeah. And
with the first team, Russell Wilson did this. Russell Wilson
like Russell Wilson is is so much. He's like Lebron
now where it's all around Luca and he's just a
(39:14):
guy that he knows in his last year with the
with the with the Lakers, like it's all Jackson Dart
and Russ is just a guy in the Jackson Dart Show,
knowing full well he's giving this job up October first,
because that's a Tuesday. It's also a great day to
say October first, that's a Tuesday. That's when he becomes
the starting quarterback for the New York Giants and keeps
that job for the rest of the season and beyond.
(39:35):
So is this where we get another video of Russ
with high knees or something? Then oh, heie ninety thousand
feet he's in space. He's he's doing high knees, high
knees on the moon. Look at me, I'm floating and
I'm doing high knees. He's got the one high knee
as all there he goes. He's floating, floating, floating and floating,
(39:57):
coming down another hi knee and floating and floating and floating.
Mister unl limit in. Yeah, Jackson Dart's been fantastic. Three
hundred seventy two passing yards, showing the moves with his legs,
three touchdown passes. He's been efficient and excellent. Ryan Fitzpatrick
with the glowing talking point, you know, after the fun
(40:17):
little joke nod that he had with Carissa early in
the pregame. But all of that to say it's coming.
I mean, Russell Wilson may not be completely done, but
for the Giants and a coach and a GM and
all the things we've talked about for weeks, it's coming
that much faster. Objects in rear view mirror closer than
they appear. Well, it's funny you mentioned Russ Wilson because
(40:38):
we have a hot take on him coming up next,
as well as the latest in the Micah Parsons saga.

little Tommy DeVito Tommy Cutlets, who may or may not
make the Giants roster like probably not? Could he be
the fourth quarterback?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Could he?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Could they do? The Cleveland Browns carry more? No, No,
I mean look, because there's nothing else you make it
a reality show for the season. Here's Jackson Dart, There's
Russell Wilson, There's Jamis Winston, and over there's little Tommy Cutlets.
Come on, you got every every demographic is represented. Drug
we want that. We meant Tommy Cutletz back guy, we
(01:32):
got Tommy Cutlins. Uh yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's the thing, is that the four or five quarterbacks
for the Browns getting all the news the last few weeks. Remember,
the Giants got a whole bunch of things happening too
with with their their Flacco is Russell Wilson right there,
Jackson Dart is Shador Sanders there, Jamis Winston, is is
Tyler Huntley. There, Tommy DeVito is Dylan Gabriel. That's all
(01:57):
the same. It's like the bizarro world on Seinfeld Yeah,
and they run into each other on the street. Well
you can just call him Feldman, right, I was like,
is Isaiah Feldman? Yeah? Uh so or Fargus before we
I think it was Feldman, Yeah, justin Fargus, former running
back for these then open son of Huggy Bear. Yeah,
(02:18):
went to school just up the road. Yeah, Sherman. Ook's
notre dame name. I met Huggy Bear at one of
his games. Did you yeah, that's good. Did you call
him Huggy Bear? No? Oh, okay, called him sir. I
mean people probably probably did Tony. He probably said, hey,
how you do it?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Greg? You know what, though, that's great. You've been traded
on that for fifty years. Why stop now? It's like
Houston Dunstan didn't interview saying people have been saying my
name wrong for the last thirty years, Like wha wait, really, yeah,
people have been saying my name wrong. What it's like
everybody that's that we've had in sports, right, people still
call Tyrod Taylor the Tarad Taylor Tyrod even though he said,
here's my name now, it's Jean Robinson. That's when he said,
(02:56):
you're still gonna be Bjean Jean. Yeah, Jane, because you know,
because I year, I hear Bjon Robinson, I think Djon musterd.
I think about having a sandwich. It's not a bad way.
It works right there, Mustards. So do you think they
have a promo for him this football season where every
touchdown he scores, every touchdown Bejon Robins, great pup, get
(03:16):
some pardon me? Maybe that's a commercial where they rolled
down the window. He's he's in a limousine. Do you
have any grey poupon like it? Bring it back?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Now, before we get to the big Jackson Dart topic
and Russell Wilson topic from tonight, sometimes broadcasters learn a
very expensive lesson. Sometimes they learn one that could be expensive.
Sometimes learn one that people just laugh at. This was
the case tonight for Ryan Fitzpatrick, former quarterback. Smart quarterback.
(03:47):
You know he went to Harvard. He's a wizard. His
kid's smart to remember all the math games they played
when he was younger. The end of the game too. Yeah,
that's right, Yeah, there he is. Uh So, the the
hot mike situation is something that is clearly a bugaboo
for broadcasters all over the place. So in the pregame
show before the game tonight on Prime Patriots Giants, Fitzpatrick
(04:12):
didn't know they were live. They're just kind of messing
around before the game, and CHRISA. Thompson asks Ryan Fitzpatrick
his opinion of Jackson Dart and just screwing around. Ryan
Fitzpatrick says this, not realizing his microphone is hot from
Jackson Dart. It's exciting. He's got leadership. He's got intelligence,
(04:33):
and he's got moxie, which is a fun thing. I
don't like his release. I think it's slow. He dances
like Drew Locke. I'm not a huge fan. I don't
think Giants fans would be excited at all.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Okay, we'll definitely say that on air.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So great? Ah? Oh wait, you mean that was going on? Oh? Man?
So I really shouldn't have said that. Should I should
should have stuck to something else, A little bit more
of vanilla, no matter how big that sarcasm bucket is
dripping under me. Probably shouldn't have said that because it'll
live forever. Nah. And you know, and the thing is,
he's just messing around. Yeah, but this shows you how.
(05:08):
Look and we just we just celebrated and not celebrated,
but immemorated of Tom brennanman who gave his career away.
Because broadcasting, you always have to assume the microphone is hot, right,
That's the first lesson they tell you. Always assume your
microphone is on. And in radio it's easy because I
could just sit here and just turn my microphone and
(05:29):
turn it back on and turn it back on.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
It.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I can do it myself. I look, there's a big
button that I know if my microphone is on or not.
But the walls still may he TV not so much TV.
You have to try. You trust that the production truck
is going that the audio engineer is going to turn
your mic off and on. When it happens, the director
is going to call for it. So yeah, when you're
rehearsing and your mic is hot and it's going out somewhere,
(05:52):
you have to understand the mic is always hot. And
Tom brennanman learned a very expensive lesson and lost his
career for it, and now is just kind of getting
back five years later. Now. Granted, what he said way worse,
obviously than what Ryan Fitzpatrick said. But for fitz Patrick,
let's just say he wanted to get a little extemporaneous,
not that he would say something of the Tom Brennan
except but what if he just let up a whole
(06:13):
bunch of curse words. What if he was saying something
as a complete joke about dart about and all of
a sudden you find yourself in hot water Like this
is one of those lessons where yes, it's funny, we
get to laugh at it because he just I don't
think Giants fans are gonna be excited at all. It's
kind of funny. And then CHRISA. Thompson with the big line, Okay,
we'll definitely say that in the air, but realizing that
(06:34):
this could have gone a lot worse, man, this could
have gone a lot worse for you if you were
just joke. And again, not that he would ever say
something that we were talking about with Tom Brennan, but
if you say something that suddenly whoa man, that's not
as easily dismissed because you're either cursed or you said
something you really shouldn't have said. You said something blue.
I mean, there's many things you can have said trying
(06:55):
to be funny that would not be able to just
be oh, yeah, there he is, that's what and then
you don't have a debate of what got bleeped out?
I mean, because it's all that is true. No, that
is true. Yeah, yeah, that's right there. Because you don't
have the fun with it. Now, people are just like
is this ai like that? That's where we're at in
twenty twenty five at State Did he really say this?
And people are trying to make a big thing out
(07:17):
of it, even though Carrissa very quickly. You know the
way she tagged it. Let you know, hey, you know,
good good by. We'll say that's fine, that's great, that's good.
How long do you think we are away from the
following happening? Thinking about this?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You just said, how far away are we from some
kind of audio getting out that is attributed to an athlete, coach,
some sports personality that really embarrasses them, that to the
extent where WHOA, your career is at stake, or there's
a suspension, there's something going on, and the person says,
that wasn't me. That must have been AI. That must
(07:51):
have been A because I didn't say that, that must
have been AI. Somebody has it in for me, and
someone put this out there that was not me. That
was clearly artificial intelligence. Oh, I mean this, this is
better than getting hacked. It's okay, all right, sure, you're
you're going to be able to probably have all sorts
of stuff that you do wilding in your real time. No,
(08:14):
that's clearly not me. Okay, you can see the hiccup
right in the front of me. I don't dance like that.
That's not me. You want, okay, you want a really
good story. I've never told this story, but this is
this is a great story. Do we need the music
for this long No? I might, but this is that
gonna stue. Do you want the Captain American Music or
Bruce Springs but the secret Option scene? You want to
bring back that band? That? No, Tyshert's working on a
(08:37):
very special project for the final hour of the show
that I can't wait to do, which is that That's
what they call it teas in the radio business. Now
Tyshert's working project. It starts his vacation when I leave
for my vacation early. No, he's working very special assignment
we're going to have in the final hour excited about.
So when I'm a I was a senior in high
school and I'm working at supermarket Pathmark in New York
(09:00):
and they always it's the biggest. I think it was
the biggest supermarket on the East Coast the time where
I worked. Of course, I only go where it's busy.
I shop at the busiest Costco in the country, and
I worked the busiest Pathmark. Right, it's so much so
like the produce department, we had like fifteen people that
worked in the department, right, was that big a deal. Now,
the store had cameras that would slide along aisle of
(09:23):
the aisle so they could follow people if they were stealing,
if something was going on, if there was a fight, like,
they had cameras. And the thing is, we could always
see the camera just because we could see it a
little bit, like it wasn't completely behind you, it was
completely covered. You could see the camera move and you
knew what it was in the aisle. And there was
a guy at work who I was working with that
(09:46):
you know, they would always stop, like if any if
it looked like we were hanging out in the aisle,
if we were just talking to each other and the
camera stops in the aisle and it's in there because
we're talking for a couple minutes, we're just hanging out.
We're not working. We decided we did our stuff for
a few minus, we're just gonna hang out on the
aisle and take it break. So we're hanging out talking
and the camera comes and if you're doing that, like
you know, someone tells you to come get back to work.
The store matag say, hey, you gotta get back to work.
(10:07):
So I think it was one of his first days
in the story and he didn't know, and he uh uh.
We said, hey, the camera's on the cameras. That camera's
not on. We talk, that camera's not on. And he
starts making faces, doing all kinds of stuff and the camera,
that camera's not on. They're doing all this stuff. It's like, dude,
stop doing it. But we all took our stuff and
we left and all this and all this everything, and
(10:30):
then about five minutes later they called him to the
security office. Oh no, they's pretty security. Police and security
were like, oh no, oh my god, oh my god.
So he leaves, comes back like fifteen minutes later, and
we said, what happened? Did you get fighting? So fine?
We talking about He said, did you get fire? You stick?
He goes. What do they do? He goes, Well, they
(10:50):
showed when the camera was in the aisle and you
know when when we were hanging out and stuff and
I started making faith do all I see he goes,
but it was really blurry. I said, yeah, he goes,
So what do you mean he goes? So they said,
can you explain this? And I just said, that's not
me and the guy was so supposedly the guy was
so said, well, it's not what do you mean it's
not you? He goes, it's not it's not me. It
(11:12):
wasn't me, that's you. It's the same hab I got
your on camera. Met he wasn't me. It wasn't me.
It wasn't me. And and and well this this is
before Shaggy came out. And apparently the security guy like
didn't know what to say, like, that's not like in
the hand, But what do you do when a guy
says it's not me? He said, just go back to work.
And so we went back to work, and as far
(11:32):
as I know, nothing ever happened all because the camera
was on a video of him doing that, and he
just said, yeah, it wasn't me, that wasn't me. Yeah,
that's not me. I was like like, boy, break it's
a guy with a mask me. What do you want?
And then we're all hoping, okay, you're not gonna call
us in because apparently the guy, the guy was just
so bamboozled by it. He just said, yeah, no, it's
that's not me. It's not no, he's but not me.
(11:55):
He didn't do anything. We're like, wow, man, I think
I think we used up a lot of karma right there.
For something like we're gonna like this is this is
where the karma god just saying right now, we'll get
even with you at some point. Yeah, I just hope
you didn't do anything to Uh. Wasn't me. This wasn't me.
Wasn't because if he'd done something really egregious, then it
would have been the guy would have asked for more help.
I think security guard might have made it a bigger
It wasn't me. It's one of those things where if
(12:17):
you showed your manager, the manager would have no choice
but to do something and discipline you because you're thumbing
your nose at the you know you're not working. First
of all, we're not working. We're standing in the aisle
just talking to each other and uh and and and
then you know the the uh. Because at night, the
department managers were all gone, so it was all the
high school people that worked at night. Like six attention.
(12:37):
There was one store manager who you always had to
know where that person was at all times, Like, okay,
he's here. We're good. We're good for a few minutes,
whatever it was, We're good. It was like the police
cars on Lake Shore. He's company's company's company something, all right, right, scattered, scattered,
looks like you're working. So we were okay hanging out
in the aisle that where if he just rounded the corner,
we would just pretend we were talking about something and
then just when we would just split and walk away. See,
(12:59):
you would have been helped in that store like they
do now where they do the energy saving. So if
there's nobody actively working in those aisles, they go dimmer. Yeah,
so if they lit up, it means you either got
a rat problem or your boss is walking down thats
we get a rappro Look at the lights they're going out.
We got a rat, or we got our boss. So anyway,
(13:21):
just to understand that Ryan Fitzpatrick really dodged a bullet tonight,
And you gotta understand, Look, you always know, the mic
is always on, the mic is always well. He posted
something to his social media. I can't wait to hear
the audio that he actually put up, because it is
him and Carissa. A twenty two second clip may very
well be the clip that we listen to, but I
gotta verify because he might just be trying to get
(13:42):
trolled by people with this. Boy. Hey, well here's what
I said. You like it listen, it's a preseason game.
Will we get more attention if I do a hot
mic thing and people will talk about it? Because it's
the Giants and the Patriots. They both stink out loud
like we could use this as a hot mic moment.
Tell you how bad both of these teams stink? Is
(14:03):
that working? Is it working? Is it working? Great? Look
at all the attention. You can thank me in the Postman,
Yeah have it? That's great. Exit out about a Fresco

friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Jason, Billy Joel okay John, Oh, the entire catalog?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yes, wow, they each each of them does like one
of my top ten songs of all time. Yeah, what
what's your Billy Joel? Well, scenes from an Italian restaurant?
Okay yeah yeah? And Tiny Dancer pretty good? I oh, well,
you know Mona Lisa's and Manhatters. Oh wow. You know
what really grew on me when I saw him at
(16:49):
Dodger Stadium though, what's that?
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Have?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Mercy on the criminal? Bam? Like great guitar work. You know,
I would say I would say this despite the fact
that Scenes from an Italian Restaurant is probably want my
top five favorite songs of all time. The catalog of
Elton John is probably something I listened to more like
if Billy Joel's songs come on the radio, like just
(17:10):
the Way You Are comes on or something, I'm like, yeah,
I might turn it off, like I'll listen to Seams
Italian Restaurant or River of Dreams or We Didn't Start
the Fire, but a lot of other stuff will like yeah,
I'll turn it. But Elton John probably more than I
stick around and stay stick in. But see the other
other part. I mean, Billy Joel has collaborated a bunch
during the years, but Elton John's played with everybody. So
(17:31):
I mean you got the Duelipa there, and you go
back when he did the live version of Stan and
everybody got mad at him with Stan. Why are you
so mad? They because they they asked him to do it,
like they remember they didn't ask Dido, right like she
was like they didn't ask her. I say, well, we
want Elton John to do it, okay. And wasn't that
the version where Eminem flipped everybody off at the end
(17:52):
of his version? Right like he stuck his middle fingers
up and he got off the But then Elton John
had to keep explaining why he was Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Are you the same mic too, you go, Elton?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah? Okay.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Who do you guys think has more downloads on Spotify?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Billy because of scenes from an Italian He's got four
or five songs?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Well, and look and everybody on Long Island downloads at
least one song a day, no matter what, so it
CAUs he all goes exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
So fun fact, Billy Jill has thirty three million a
month and Elton John is forty six.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
How about that? So it is Elton John. It is
so interesting.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Okay, all right, very good, All right, Well I got
that means I am I am, I am lax on
my listening to scenes from an Italian restaurant every Mike, No,
I mean we do use it for show purposes quite free.
Yeah yeah, cold beer, hot lights, my sweet romantic to yea.
So we are less than forty eight hours away from
(18:51):
the college football season. Get those noisemakers out. Pete Futag
joins us tomorrow night to preview the games of this
week zero Week zero football big Picks, Heisman Trophy, playoff
teams playoffs. So we got action coming up, and there
is nobody bet. When I say action, I think of
this man, former odds maker at Caesars. Check them out
(19:14):
on CBS, longtime friend of the show on Twitter at
Todd Furman. It is in fact Todd Furman. Todd, what's
happening man? How are you on this Thursday night in Vegas?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I'm doing well, Smith, But I had a collect the pieces.
I watched very emotional show on Amazon after the Giants
and Patriots preseason game ended. Apparently it's all about the
New York Jets and it chronicles the heartbreak of what
it's like to be a wife or girlfriend for players
on that franchise that continues to disappoint everybody that roots
for Gane Green. So it took me a little bit
(19:47):
to regroup in time to talk to you guys.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
That's okay because that show has so many seasons. Because
the next season is the fans who have to deal
with the franchise, and it's people who have to live
with people who are fans of the franchise, family members,
and it's wives and girlfriends and husbands who had to
deal with living with people who are so depressed over
being Jets fans. There's like five or six seasons of
that coming out. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I mean, the bottom line is this. It felt like
a genuine Greek tragedy, with the tragic flaw being hubrisk
because people thought excessive pride that the Jets were somehow
going to be good, only to be let down and
disappointed by the two years of the Aaron Rodgers era.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
See. Well, that's the thing. See, this is what teams
like the Jets and I can say Chargers because Frostburg's
not here, but like certain teams like I would I
would be okay if my team was just bad, right,
if my team was just bad, I get it. But
teams like the Jets, Chargers, a few others, no matter
what it is, every year they give you just enough
hope to make you think this year could be different,
(20:44):
and then you get let down and it's worse. I'd
rather know we're gonna stink going in because I don't
have expectation. You leave my bears alone. No, I mean,
looks Smith.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Normally I'd like to agree with you here, but the
Jets have just been bad for about fifteen years. So
there's not a whole lot of heartbreak that's going on.
Figuring out if you're going to draft third or draft seventh.
Isn't the kind of heartbreak that I think most people
were a thing about. Perfectly encapsulated, Scott, the last.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Two years have been incredible expectations because of Aaron Rodgers.
Come on man like that. They were through the roof.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Look, unrealistic expectations are one thing. I mean, if my
parents thought I was going to be a Rhodes scholar
at two years old, they had a lifetime of disappointment
in front of them. That's kind of how Jets fans should.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Feel over the last fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Well, you became a goaliean you played goalie in college for.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
A while, and they questioned my life decisions every day
thereafter as a result of that, despite the caliber of
education I was able to receive.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
In the next GX, see I got that last week
with my parents give me a bunch of nonverbal shrugs
as if they were doing the same thing to me,
Tod So Tom, before we get in here, I got
to ask you what what was a bigger number for you?
The number of the percentage wise of bets you make
that you're right on, or your safe percentage in college.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
My fayor percentage by default had to be a shade higher,
because if I was winning about eighty six percent of
my bet it's a stay percentage, it would look in
rarefied air. And as much as I enjoy my Thursdays
or Friday nights talking to you knuckleheads, I would probably
not be spending my time with you if I was
winning eighty six percent of my bet.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I'm incredibly charming and insightful, but yeah, no, I gotta
get It's so week zero in the college football world,
Todd Stanford, and why is it two and a half
point spread? We got a couple of double digits. How
excited are you for the games to get back onto
the field on Saturday?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Look, it's always fun to get things going in earnest.
I mean, college football has the longest offseason of any
major sport, and so I think, you know, most casual
fans count down to the days until they get to see
their favorite programs out there again. And we're giving a
tree here with two teams that'll be buying for a
Big twelve conference championship. This year to kick things off
in Ireland, bright and early out for all of us
(22:57):
on the West coast between Iowa State and Kansas State.
Do I wish there was a better off betting opportunity
to add of the five games that we'll see, Sure, absolutely,
But at the same time I get getting to see
a program like Kawhi that hasn't beaten a Power five
opponent in five plus years, a short home favorite playing
on national TV. You know, these are the kind of
opportunities that Week zero forward, some of these second tier
(23:19):
programs compared to the marquee matchups that every vote will
be discussed in, including the big new kickoff between Ohio State, Texas, Clemson, LSU,
and of course the Sunday fixture on Labor Day between
Notre Dame and the Miami Hurricane.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
So is there a game you like this week or
do you really need to see? Hey college football, you
need to see teams play for a week before you
can say, hey, this is what I like. I feel
confident about this.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Now you start to try and find you in those
power ratings. I mean, you get teams that become outliers
like Florida State last year, where I downgraded them about
three touchdowns from Week one through the regular season finale
against the Florida Gators. But there are a lot of unknowns.
Sometimes that leads betters to a good spot, and sometimes
you overvaluate or underestimate a lot of these programs that
(24:00):
are out there. So when I look at the five
games this weekend, you know I won't have any substantial
positions on numbers that are out there now. If anything, guys,
I kind of count the days to week two so
I can stop staring at the same betting board that's
been up there for three and a half months and
try and get into some fresher numbers. Once we have
a data point that hopefully we can learn a little
bit something about these teams and figure out who is
(24:22):
going to be over compensated for in the market a
role will be able to find a number that we
can pick off.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
We two got to imagine the last two three years
with all the transfers and chaos, have made things that
much more interesting. One of the ongoing topics in the
NFL Todd Micah parsons, do we have odds on his
next team?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Most offshore booksharm have actually pulled some of those prices
out there now. I mean Trey Hendrickson feels like he's
been connected to every franchise that doesn't actually have a
chance to win this year, most notably a lot of
fagot raiders out here in the desert because they realize
he can't stop the run coming off of the edge.
Michael Parsons though a little bit of a different client.
I mean the game breaker that's there. But it feels
(25:02):
like every time Jerry Jones opens his mouth, whether it's
in a documentary or his weekly radio spot, the two
sides get further and further apart. And while I know
a lot of people are optimistic that he's going to
be out there on that opening Thursday night two weeks
from today against the Philadelphia Eagles, I'm going to work
under the assumption that he won't be there and would
eventually expect a little bit of Eagles money and maybe
some over money to enter the market before kickoff that night.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So if I can read into what you're saying, you're
saying the Eagles, the over and lay the points.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
No, I'm not validating any of them.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I'm just trying to.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
See where the market's going. Although I have taken a position,
albeit small for now. Week one did back the New
York Football Giants plus the six and a half against
the Commanders. I think that the Giants can be a
team that are a little bit undervalued in their two
divisional games early on. And while I'm not going to
take much away from a forty two to ten shrubbing
where Tommy DeVito look like the second coming of Phil
(25:54):
Simms operating against the Patriots ups drivers in that second half,
I do think that this Giants defensive line can problems
and I think by default their quarterback play has to
be a little bit better. But hopefully Colts fans out
there are covering their ears when I say Russell Wilson
is an upgrade leading the Giants offense compared to the
Daniel Jones experience that we're going to see at Lucas
Oil Stadium Week one.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
To that end, how soon does Jackson Dark depose Russell Wilson?
Did we get odds on what week that occurs?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Uh? You know, it's an interesting because the Giants schedule
is extremely daunting. So when you try and identify where
it makes sense for these rookies to get a soft
landing spot, you know, you'd think it would be on
the road weeks? Was it week five five October when
they take on the Saints, an area where Jackson Dart's familiar,
having honed his craft in the SCC. But then things
get extremely more difficult because you're talking about a short
(26:44):
turnaround against the divisional rival against the Eagles, and then
playing Denver Philadelphia again in the forty nine or so.
I think the Giants are going to handle Jackson Dart
with kid gloves. But if there's an injury to Russell Wilson,
maybe he gets in there sooner rather than later. But
just such a very difficult spot, knowing that this Giants
offensive line has a lot of questions to answer, and
there doesn't appear to be a two to three week
(27:05):
stretch where they can let Jackson Dart land softly and
begin to show his NFL moxie.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
All right. So so lastly, Todd, if you'd the Giants
the first couple weeks you like them week one? Is
there a team you look at for the first month
of the season that you really like one way or another, Like, hey,
better than expected and they're going to really surprise people
or worse than expected. And this is the trend I'm
going to go on when I'm when I'm talking about
betting for the first.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Few weeks, you know, I have some real questions about
the Cincinnati Bengals. Quite honestly, I know they've gone out
there this preseason and conducted themselves very differently, letting Joe
Burrow get reps, hoping that that offense can hit the
ground running given the way that they've subbed their toe.
And while the schedule, at least on paper to the
first two weeks, a road trip against the division rival
against at Cleveland and being you know, right around a
(27:49):
five and a half six point favorite against Jacksonville week two,
then you're talking about a stretch for the Bengals where
they play back to back road games against the Vikings
and Broncos, a home date against Detroit, in a game
against green Bay if they don't come out of the
gates too and oh, I think the Cincinnati Bengals are
a team that's going to be overvalued given all of
that fantasy glitz and glamour on the offensive side, but
(28:10):
it's still a stop unit that may make the Northwestern
fan and harm and the Orange fan in you for
Syracuse extremely jealous that your teams can actually go out
there and tackle in space.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Now, we'll eventually talk about odds that Pat FitzGeralds is
back at Northwestern or the new head coach for Iowa
after today's news. But I got to go back to
your Twitter account from earlier, Todd, mister beast, if I
offered you a million dollars, but you only keep it
if the first person you call answers, who would you call?
Your response was, Hey, pain insider, are you sending me
right to voicemail? And Penny don't respond with that?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
And look, and of course he didn't respond to a tweet,
so I wouldn't second to pick up the phone. But
if I was betting a million dollars on someone that
wouldn't pick up the phone, I can put those that
are nearest and dearest to me at the top of
that list. Let's put it that list.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Vegas Insider Todd Furman. He is on Twitter at Todd Furman.
He always picks up the phone for us. Where can
you see him? Where can you hear him? Everywhere? CBS
Sports Sports Line, also on TSN Todd enjoy it man,
have fun this weekend. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Hey, always a pleasure, Jensen. The good part is it's
one of the last weeks that we can say that
Jets and Bears are both ties for the best record
in the National Football League.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Thanks Palth, appreciate you, and they'll be tied for the
worst record. Uh No, you know it's funny you talk
about that. Like somebody put that's a bit an interesting
question on on Twitter. You know, if if someone said,
I'll give you one hundred thousand dollars if you pick
one person to call, they have to answer the phone,
who would you pick? Like immediately, like I would default
to Pam and I said, well, I call my wife Beth.
(29:38):
But then I would think, but if she's like running
an errand she would see me and go, I'm doing
I'll call him back in two minutes. I'll call him
back at which she does like I'm going, who would
I like? Who would I call? Like that? That's a
real thing, like to know who would I call that
I guarantee they would pick up the phone for me
every single time, or the one time for one hundred
thousand dollars to pick up the phone. I don't know
if this really gets me depressed and By the way,
(29:59):
I add an ext zero for what beast put out there.
A million dollars doesn't matter. But either way, it could
be a sandwich. I'll give you a sandwich if you
pick up. The answer is, I don't have a single
person that I would say categorically picks up at any moment. Yeah, nobody,
because even my parents they may not hear the phone.
Not that it's one I don't want to hear it,
(30:21):
Like they're just not in the right room. It's gone
from it because you're not answering. Frostburg's not answering. It
depends not answering either of you either, So I mean
it depends on the time, it depends. But like, but
like that, that's gone away from from the the old
Oh uh, here's someone that I can just send a
voicemail to. Yeah, we can just send a text instead. No,
(30:44):
just you can just send a text, right, that actual
call to where it's sorry, that level of urgency of
all right, I got to pick this up because nobody.
I don't know that anybody. Like if I call somebody
and they don't answer, I don't leave a voicemail, I
hang up and send a text. Hey, call me get
a suck because I know they'll get that. Yeah. Generally,
you and I the only time we catch each other
on the phone is if we know we're both actively
(31:04):
driving into work. Yeah, yeah, we're coming home. Yeah, because
I know, like when I asked you the fantasy question,
asked you, you never texted me back.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I had.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I had to make the pick before. I thought you
would help me, but you didn't. So I made a pick.
So I'm okay. I mean I asked pick that. Yeah,
I asked you. Uh who is it?
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Who'd I ask you? Between two people? It was? It was, uh, yesterday.
I thought we did that a couple of days when
I missed one that was I think it was Jaden
Blue or Jaydon Noel or something like that. I know
I missed that. Yeah, I miss that entirely. I'm like,
all right, I guess, okay, that's fine. Blank you man,
thanks for nothing. Sorry. Check out the full podcast. I
watch Flax Running Back Position going up tomorrow time now
(31:45):
to find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
Is someone who, when she's produced the show, always answers
the phone when I've called her. It's bremureau Bree, what
do you have for us.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I love talking on the phone. I don't know if
I'm just like in the minority about that, but I
prefer talking on the phone.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I used to love talking on the phone. Now I'm like, okay,
I talk at him for four hours a night. Do
you think I need to talk anymore?
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Like you just think it's like, oh, this could be
a text, Like that's just like the mentality that everybody has,
like this is a test like that, or like this
could have been an email, like why are you talking
to me? When this could have been an email or
a text?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Now thinking of that scene from the Office when they
had all four people together, Bob vance Aldigger. We couldn't
do this on email. We could do that.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Yeah, I don't get that anyways, I've I haven't watched
I just like don't like that my recall at the office,
Like I think I just binged it and then like
I just I don't have a recall for it anymore.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It's weird, like good bye Toby, good Bye Toby, good
Bye Toby.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Yesterday we were playing that Chris Brown song for the office.
Alex was of like when Jim and Pamm got married
in Niagara.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Falls, it's super memorable. Yeah, okay, anyways, sorry not to
mention she's one of the great villains of television history.
We belong eight seven seven nights. We Belong together, Ryan,
We belong. However, I love Kelly Kapor.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Mindy Kayling is just such a go in female comedians. Okay, anyways.
Starting in Major League Baseball, the Red Sox did beat
the Yankees six to three. They snapped a three game
losing streaked. The Dodgers beat the Rockies nine to five.
The Padres defeated the Giants eight to four. Now they're
only one game behind LA in the NL West. The
(33:25):
Nationals beat the Mets nine to three. New York has
lost sixteen of their last twenty one. In NFL preseason action,
the Steelers defeated the Panthers nineteen to ten. The Giants
crust the Patriots forty two and ten. The Giants went
three and oh this preseason, which means nothing as we
head closer to the regular season. Jackson Dart went six
of twelve eighty one yards and one touchdown before he
(33:46):
had a concussion scare late in the first quarter. In
other NFL news, the Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh announced
that Trey Lance will start Saturday's preseason game at the
forty nine Ers, and New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen
Moore says Spencer Rattler are at quarterback in Saturday's preseason
finale against the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
But here's a question. It's the Saints. Will it really matter, Yes,
it will matter. Okay, I'm just making sure, Hey, someone
gets to say they were a starter week Okay, it's
a big deal.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
And I just like, I just think Setcha Ratler deserves
a shot.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
But that's just me. Then halftime of week one, it's
gonna be where's Tyler? Shuck? Where's Shuck? Get him in there?
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Yeah, he's an ARP camp.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
It's fine, Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. He actually is older
than Spencer Ratler is twenty six. I actually think the
kids didn't sling it. But that's just me. Exit out
out of Frasca, exit swollen down. Thank you very much,
brie Uh. Coming up next, we get back into a
big NFL story from today. Boy, do we have something
(34:45):
that's going to cause a lot of drama really early
in the season. That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Radio, the Mets make up Chuck. Now, we lost two
of three to the Washington Nationals. We're given a way
up playoff spot to the Reds. We're gonna clinch by
the middle of September. Psychologically reeling once again from another
(35:18):
big loss for the New York Metropolitans as a national
taken down Night three, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon Live in
the Fox Sports Radio studios, James Wood, the big Blow.
We are forty minutes away from Alex Tyshirt's very special
assignment that I gave him earlier in the show. He
(35:40):
said he'll be ready. Did you say as assignment or
a half hour sorry, half hour away from his assignment,
because you know, it's kind of like I said, ejek
got to do with Jerry Jones the Big Cowboys story
tonight that's coming up in about a half hour. Jerry,
I mean, Jerry five. That's pretty good. Five count fives
up up? Okay, one for every quarterback the Browns at night.
(36:03):
So tonight the Giants absolutely thumped the Patriots. Yeah they did.
Everybody that played quarterback for the Giants threw a touchdown,
including Phil Simms, including Jeff hosteler including Scott Bruner and
hosteler still got the mustache, including Joe Pisarcik sar Chick. Yeah,
then he then he then he fumbled a hand off
to Larry Zanka. Ah that too soon? Is that too
(36:23):
soon for the miracle the Middle Lands? Is that too soon? Soon?
Are you really going all the way back for a
positive note in your fandom other than that beautifully cut
off sweatshirt you got going on? I got a great
cutoff sweatshirt. It's a good look at Hartford Whaler's on you.
But check it out on the YouTube channel. The guy
who yes absolute one hundred percent just searched Jason smithser
(36:44):
on YouTube. But the guy who is getting all the
attention right now is the one who threw this touchdown,
takes the snack, stands in the pocket, fires over in
the middle cut touchdown. It's Dulcic, Dart hooking up with
Dulcic in consecutive games, and the Giants strike first three
minutes and one second into the game. Oh, by the way,
(37:06):
welcome back to fantasy relevance, potentially, Greg Delsich. It's been
a while. A choker in Denver, a couple of years now.
But yeah, now that works. We told you how accelerated
the timeline for Jackson Dart to start for the Giants
was getting when he was drafted, and over the course
at the beginning of the summer, hey, middle of the seasons.
What Russell Wilson has Then after the first week it was, hey,
(37:29):
a big week against the Jets. He's pushing that up
a bit. He has now had three games where he
has played terrific guess, albeit against different levels of defense
and different level but it doesn't matter. This is a
first round quarterback who the coaching staff and the general
manager want to stay on pass this year because they're
on thin ice and they want to show that we're
(37:49):
the ones who are ready for the Jackson Dart era
with the New York Giants. Jackson Dart will be the
quarterback by October first, by week five. That nice soft
landing against the Saints. Sorry, brit I know you're a
Saints fan. That nice soft beginning against the Saints. It
doesn't get any better than that. Short of a three
and one start by Russell Wilson. It's gonna be Jackson
(38:10):
Dart and the Giants aren't starting three and one. That
stuff two division games Kansas City and the Chargers at
the first month. Dart has shown you everything you need
to see in the preseason to show that he is
the future. He has a first round pick. First round
picks play again, especially when your head coach, your general
manager want to keep their jobs. There's no bit of
(38:32):
I feel beholden to Russell Wilson to continue to play him.
It's Russell Wilson's gonna play until his time for Jackson Dart,
and you will know when that happens. And they're gonna
want to get him as much play as possible. He's
gonna want to play a spin as much of the season,
playing as he can, and he has shown that he
is ready to handle. You see the the Giants say
glowing things about him every single day. And that's that's
(38:53):
the crazy part, man. As I expected to come in
and see hey, Giants player as saying great things about
Russell Wilson. He's our guy, and hey, Jackson's coming along.
We love him too. But it said every day is
a Jackson Dart love fest, and it's oh yeah. And
with the first team, Russell Wilson did this. Russell Wilson
like Russell Wilson is is so much. He's like Lebron
now where it's all around Luca and he's just a
(39:14):
guy that he knows in his last year with the
with the with the Lakers, like it's all Jackson Dart
and Russ is just a guy in the Jackson Dart Show,
knowing full well he's giving this job up October first,
because that's a Tuesday. It's also a great day to
say October first, that's a Tuesday. That's when he becomes
the starting quarterback for the New York Giants and keeps
that job for the rest of the season and beyond.
(39:35):
So is this where we get another video of Russ
with high knees or something? Then oh, heie ninety thousand
feet he's in space. He's he's doing high knees, high
knees on the moon. Look at me, I'm floating and
I'm doing high knees. He's got the one high knee
as all there he goes. He's floating, floating, floating and floating,
(39:57):
coming down another hi knee and floating and floating and floating.
Mister unl limit in. Yeah, Jackson Dart's been fantastic. Three
hundred seventy two passing yards, showing the moves with his legs,
three touchdown passes. He's been efficient and excellent. Ryan Fitzpatrick
with the glowing talking point, you know, after the fun
(40:17):
little joke nod that he had with Carissa early in
the pregame. But all of that to say it's coming.
I mean, Russell Wilson may not be completely done, but
for the Giants and a coach and a GM and
all the things we've talked about for weeks, it's coming
that much faster. Objects in rear view mirror closer than
they appear. Well, it's funny you mentioned Russ Wilson because
(40:38):
we have a hot take on him coming up next,
as well as the latest in the Micah Parsons saga.
Keep it right here, Jason and Mike. You are listening
