Radio Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My
best friend Mike Harmon Live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Stream three. A night filled with drama from the jump,
whether it was the awful home plate umpiring Yeah, he's terrible,
(00:48):
Padres and the Cubs fired, the drama of the Yankees
win where they've found their new Jeter and new Andy Pettitt,
and then we have whatever that was on Thursday night
where the forty nine Ers upset the Rams twenty six
twenty three in overtime, a game that the Rams were
(01:09):
just not gonna be happy until they gave it to
San Francisco. No, no, no, we're gonna give We're gonna
give it to, We're gonna keep give We're gonna keep
giving it to. They gave them this game. They not
to be They did claw back from a fourteen nothing
deficits should have never even fourteen seven should have never
been fourteen Why because they they came out and they
played very well. Off are better everywhere, but they weren't
(01:33):
for a half Gon put right exactly. They're better everywhere
than the forty nine ers are. This game shouldn't have
even been close any given Sunday, baby, were you not watching?
Remember the Titans celebrating the anniversary this week? You know
I disagree with this strong side because today's Thursday left side,
wrong side might as well be Sunday today. This is
an embarrassing result for the NK. They were a three
(01:55):
and one team and they had a lot of heart
and knowledge in Shanahan, and you got mac Jones. Baby.
Kendrick Bourne on thurs is right. He looked he found
his identity. He looked like rand He looked like Randy
Moss in his supremacy. Nicely well played, but yeah, I
(02:15):
mean you still had Christian McCaffrey. He was still flying around.
Doesn't matter. This should have been a The Rams should
have won this game by by twenty points. That's how
much better they are than the foot. I mean the
spread was only eight and a half. That's still have
one by twenty. But no Jennings, no Kittle, Nobody, no Rice,
no Tailor, no Peerson, No Brent Jones, Brent Jones my
(02:39):
friend from when he and Jerry Jones and I scouted
the East West Shrine game practice when Tom Brady was
still in school. No Ricky Piersoll, No Jimmy Piersall, No
Preston Pearson, no Drew Pearson. No what is that? Fear
strikes out right in the basis. Yeah, for a White
(03:00):
Sox broadcaster. You want a great, big, hot take coming
off of this game, Oh please, I got one for you.
Come out hit it. Uh And it's great news for
the forty nine ers, great news to a point. Tonight
the game belonged to mac Jones thirty three out of
(03:21):
forty nine, three hundred and forty two yards, passing two touchdowns,
the game winning drive for a field goal. This was
the kind of night that mac Jones had. McCaffrey ships
out from under center. Mac Jones takes petty coals. It's
a touchdown, touchdown forty nine ers on the opening drive
of the game. A couple of penalties and they can't
(03:42):
be stopped. Did he mean for his voice to go
up and crack like that? They can't be stopped the
forty nine ers. Oh, they were a juggernaut, or at
least they still finish with four hundred and seven total yards.
They cannot be stopped. Mac Jones, this is the best
game I have ever seen him play. He was decisive
(04:04):
with the football, He stayed in, he took big hits.
He played with no weapons to throw the football too.
He's still liked Christian McCaffrey, but no wide weapon. I mean, look,
Kendrick Bord is a guy. Okay, here he is out.
He pops up every once in a while. I see
managers right now are going, Oh, I'm so glad. I
picked him up in one of my dad and you
picked him up. You got your ten for eleven targets,
(04:24):
ten of eleven and an incredible game by him. But
Matt Jones, this is his third big game that he
has had to play so far for brock Purty. Six touchdowns,
one interception, quarterback rating over one hundred. Yes, he beat
the Saints the first time. Okay, beat the Arizona Cardos
(04:46):
a little bit better. Now you beat a really good defense,
one of the top three defense in the NFL with
no weapons. Short week, without your top weapons. They showed
the graphic. You're gonna love this. So fourth forty nine
er quarterback to win his first three starts, Montana Young No,
(05:09):
Alex Smith, No, m all right, did I get Montana Young? Right?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You got ye a tittle? Oh, little Jimmy g I
remember whye tittle I had him in Fantasy that year,
A new boy, new offense with a forty nine title.
Ight tittle, Jimmy g Oh, Jimmy g Yeah, Urty okay,
and now Matt Joe back Johnson. Well, it's funny you
mentioned Brock Purty, right, because here's this is the big
hot take. Tonight is a great night for Kyle, A
(05:36):
great night for the forty nine ers. We had a
great night, eat night. They improved a four and one. Yeah,
great night for Kyle Shanahan because look, I've told you
how great a coach he is for a long time.
I don't get the Kyle Shanahan haters, but he's proven
again tonight what a great offensive mind he is. He
is shown once again that he can pick and choose
(05:56):
anybody to come in and play quarterback for the forty
nine ers and then they're pretty good. Okay, great night
for mac Jones. He is restarting his NFL career, right,
no matter what happens after this year, and you know,
brock perty getting that big contract. Hey mac Jones, Hey,
maybe mac Jones is the next Sam Darnold or Geno Smith, right,
thinking mac Jones can get donalded now at some point
because of the way he's played well, because remember he
(06:18):
was three years in New England where he had a
great first year and then they just started Bill bellichitting
the wheel. Bill Belichick decided a tank coming in. I'm
gonna have my DCB the OC, I'm gonna draft players nobody,
So I'm gonna leave this cupboard so incredibly bare for
the next coach to come in. You're not gonna win.
And then he was okay, but wasn't gonna be the
guy in Jacksonville. Everybody was pot committed to Trevor Lawrence.
(06:42):
So now as a member of the forty nine ers,
here we are, like we have said, and we said
this all week, there is a system for everyone, right,
There's a system for every quarterback in the NFL. You
just have to find it now Mac Jones in a
very quarterback friendly system. But here's your hot take. They
didn't need to pay brock Party. Did not need to
pay brock Party because this shows you that, hey, not
(07:05):
that brock Purty hasn't played well, because he has. Right,
the guy's been to a Super Bowl. But go back
to when Kyle Shanahan took over. Let's go get Jimmy Garoppolo.
Jimmy Garoppolo came in, played really well, right. Garoppolo came
and went to an NFC championship game, went to a
Super Bowl. Right, Jimmy Garoppolo has played pretty well, all right, Garoppolo.
You draft Trey Lance. If Trey Lance been able to
(07:26):
stay on the field, Trey Lance would have been fine
in this offense. But he couldn't stay on the field.
That was That's not a forty nine ers thing. This
was They wanted to sit and watch his first year.
Then they gave him the job. He got hurt, he
missed the whole season. Brock Purty comes in, Trey Lance
gets hurt again. Okay, but brock Purty comes in and
he's mister irrelevant and he turns out to be able
to run this team. Is brock Purty really that we
(07:48):
talked about this for years. It's why I have no
problem saying this, was brock Purty really that good? Or
is this an offensive system that you can put a
lot of guys in a quarterback and they can succeed?
All right? Not that brock Purty didn't play well, not
that he didn't deserve his contract, But you're trying to
build a super Bowl winning team and now you have
Mac Jones in here who has shown you that I
can give you the same kind of production as brock Purty,
(08:10):
maybe even better because I'm doing with less weapons than
brock Purty did it with. When brock Purty came in,
he had Kittle in his prime and Deebo in his
prime and Brandon Ayuk and they make the move for
Christian McCaffrey. Okay, you got great weapons everywhere. Man. This
year has been hey man, no Ayuk. You know Deebo
no Deebo. Kittle's been out make it work, and Mac
(08:33):
Jones has made it work. The pedigree that he has
had coming from being a first round pick out of
Alabama is showing itself right now. You did not need
to pay brock Purty. You did not need to give
him this money. And you're looking at a situation now
where man had we just kind of gained the quarterback
situation a little bit if we understood, hey, other guys
(08:53):
can we can make it work? How much better would
it have been for the Niners to be looking at
a future the next years as well? We got but
Matt Jones in here for a couple of years and
twenty million dollars, not brock Party for the next five
to six years. At two hundred and sixty million dollars,
we have a lot more money to go out there
and get other players to shore up our defense, to
get more playmakers in because we're gonna need more playmakers
(09:14):
as these guys wind up following that finding their way
out of the league. Right, we can go get a
tight end, we can go get somebody. We're gonna need
these kinds of things. The Niners have an incredible offensive
system that they can make it work with just about
any quarterback that they picked that they know is the
right fit. So now I look back and go, what
really did you need the Brocolipse. Did you need to
pay brock Party? You did not. You could have made
(09:36):
this work with Mac Jones, because I trust Kyle Shanahan
and everything he wants to do offensively going forward. You
could have made it work. And what kind of situation
would you be in, knowing what you need to make
your offensive system work. If you've got a quarterback that
you're saying, yeah, this guy's gonna work for ten to
fifteen million dollars a year, not even that for the
next couple of years, versus the guy that yeah, you're
(09:57):
getting the same production, but you're paying him fifty million
dollar dollars a year. Brock Party didn't need to get
that money. They could have done a lot of things.
You talked about franchising in this year and maybe, hey,
you make that decision after this year. Oh okay, Well
if we franchise Brock Party for this year, okay that
you're still paying him this year, but after this year, hey,
we can make this work with mac Jones. Brock good
(10:17):
luck and free agency, and we're paying mac Jones a
fraction of that kind of money and we build our
roster even better. Plus side, looking for forty nine ers
looking into the contract a little bit more, only making
nine million against the cap this year, Okay, twenty four
to seven next year, thirty in twenty twenty seven, and
(10:40):
then it leaps to fifty seven twenty twenty nine is
where you absolutely get murdered because it's seventy two and
a half but one hundred and eighty one million guaranteed.
And as we know, you can always play with money
in the NFL and have some fun with its salary
cap will keep going up, so we'll be a lesser
percentage if he's still with you, if you haven't negotiated
(11:00):
some sort of settlement, buy out, et cetera for this year.
I mean mac Jones on a two year deal. Seven
million dollars is all he's on for this year and
next and for even next year dollar cost averaging, that's
enoughing for your quarterback position. It's those years hence where
it starts to get a bit dicey. And to your point,
(11:21):
if you've found another option in mac Jones that can
give you the same or better that you know eventually
you've got to pay the piper. For this year, they're
actually in pretty good shape. They they've sloughed off a
number of those high priced players against the cap, but
they're gonna need to keep doing that. Right, Well, we
(11:41):
watched it where they didn't bring Deebo back, and they'll
have to make some decisions. Trent Williams getting older, George
Kittle getting older, guys that are that are more expensive.
You will have to make those hard decisions here in
this coming off season. But short term, yeah, there's gonna
be a lot of handwringing with Mac Jones playing as
(12:02):
well as he did, especially this week when it started
becoming well, because it's a short week, you're not gonna
rush brock Purty back. Could he have played maybe? Maybe not.
Now you're like, damn right, I'm back for next week.
I'm sitting down long week. I'll be ready for Week
six against Tampa. Matt Jones is out partying brock Purty.
(12:23):
He's out purtying him. You're getting out partied. We got
to figure out something that's you know, he's got he's
out purty him. You're out getting out pretty. It's a
new Brocolypse party. Mah perdy Man's I mean, really you went,
you went full Batman and Prince soundtrack. There you go.
It's it's it's not the case of second guessing. All well, clearly,
(12:48):
if we knew Mac Jones. You have to know, Kyle Shanahan.
He's made it work with all of these guys, right,
so with Brock Purty and it became a thing, and
they were wringing their hands his Brock Purty stuff, right
because they waited. They wait well, because he's also a
cult hero, drafted, mister irrelevant. All of that. You get
a lot of good will off of that, right, and
it's good will, But eventually it's about winning football games.
(13:10):
And you had Purty for his contract in which you
weren't paying him, and you couldn't win the Super Bowl.
You got there, right, you got close. How do you
keep that window open? You have to know, and Kyle
Shanahan's got to know if you if you made it
work with a guy that was mister irrelevant, Okay, there's
other guys out there that can come in that you
can make it work with. And it's not that you
had just suddenly kick brought Perty to the curb. But okay, hey, Brock,
(13:32):
we're gonna franchise you this year. Mac Jones coming. You
want to push this out because the minute you get
locked into a quarterback like that, that cuts your window
to win the Super Bowl. That cuts it in half
because you're paying all this money to a quarterback when
you need other you need other things to changes the window.
It also depends on where where you're at in your
life cycle of the rest of your roster. And for
(13:52):
San Francisco, the NOD last year and certainly the note
coming into this year is that you've got a lot
of these aging parts at key contributors, right that, at
key positions. Again, owing back to where Trent Williams is
in his football timeline, I mean they may look back
at this and go, hey, well we're lucky we got
another guy and perty comes back. But mac Jones, I mean,
(14:15):
he looks really comfortable in this offense. He looks really good.
He this again, this is the best I have seen
him look in the NFL. He had a good rookie year,
but clearly he had the shackles on him a bit
with the Belichicks. And we're not gonna remember the one
game he had where we threw the ball three times.
We're just gonna run the ball every single pack fall
A good strategy though, because it worked. But it's but again,
(14:36):
but it's not like mac Jones was. So he didn't
come in and lead like Dan Marino. You know, look
at this, he's just throwing the ball all over the field.
I have seen him play. Oh, Dan Marino is gonna
come kick your ass. He's gonna got my gloves. I'm
ready for you.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
He's gonna use isotonas to not leave marks on your face.
That's what he's gonna hurt and leave no mark. Nine
may come to rue that decision to pay brock party.
Seeing what you know, and you gotta know this is
these are the guys who can do things like this
in our quarterbacks, but also just the larger point, as
we've talked about this week and many weeks before, about
(15:16):
finding your system, getting that next chance, keeping keeping things alive,
and this is, you know, not just football related, but
just in life that you find your spot. But certainly
for Mac Jones, this guy being written off right Patriots
to the Jaguars, Like, ah, he's just a guy, Like
maybe he's not. Maybe it's all about where you end up,
(15:40):
right system, right time and place, and keep taking your
throwing your punches, exit out about a fresca, exit swollen
down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Just add Matt Jones out purtying brock Purty. Coming up next,
we have more on Thursday Night Football, we break down

Speaker 1 (16:56):
You know, I did that dance with some Abba holograms
the ABA Museum in Stockholm. That song goes out to
Bill Plaski ab a fan extraordinaire La Times. Today is Friday,
Red Sox couldn't get a run on n Schlitzler was
really good. And McMahon's the new Derek Jeter. Nickmahon, we'll
(17:22):
have more on the Thursday night upset extravaganza. Well technically
it is on the East. Cuss, you're right coming up
in a few minutes. But Yankees eliminate the Red Sox tonight,
and I've already accepted the Yankees are going to win
the world. No, stop putting that out verse. I've accepted it.
(17:42):
You add, Look, Cam Schlitzler was tremendous, all the different
accolades you have seen the first rookie pitcher with this
many strikeouts in the game. You're seeing all the all
time greats that have pitched in the in the in
the playoffs where they are twelve strikeouts tonight, eight innings.
The Yankee shut out the Red Sox for nothing. He's
(18:03):
the new Andy Pettitt. All of a sudden, He's the
new Andy Pettitt, Right, That's what he is. After yesterday
we watched Bernie Williams throw out a first pitch. Yeah,
I kept waiting for him the best bust out the
bass guitar. Oh oh yeah yeah, like slam and then
break it over home plate like Pete Townsend. Yeah heically done. Yeah,
Yankee's third favorite to win the World Series. You had
(18:24):
this night tonight from Cam Schlittler, and then you had
the play that really puts it in perspective. When you
have a play that becomes the new Derek Jeter play, Well, yeah,
I really kind of feel the Yankees are going to
win the World too. The first pitcher, durd swing on
a little looper down the left down the third day side. Look, Kadley,
I don't get hurt. A mcmah catches head falls into
(18:45):
the dugout. They did a total backflip and McMahon is nothing,
it's good to go. Wow, what to play? They went
full speed into the third base dugout and flipped over
the rail and they Yankees Radio Network on the call.
It really did have a very ww oh you don't
quit with that, McMahon. I'll tell you what. McMahon just
(19:08):
he and tested old fortitude. McMahon. I'm just picturing and
listening hearing Jesse Venture's voice calling everybody's going over the railway.
Yeah yeah, yeah, looking throwing his body around with reckless abandoned.
Oh yeah, he's a human wrecking machine. Back to when
he was campaigning for for governor of Minnesota, calling everybody
McMahon and the press conferences. You got a question, McMahon,
(19:30):
what about you? McMahon, You got something? McMahon. I'm sorry,
I'm I'm I'm I'm Jim Dwighte from the uh it.
It doesn't matter, McMahon, What do you got for me?
But the McMahon play is the new Jeter play. It's
the it's the new Jeter play. It's him going into
the stands oh by the way, twenty years ago against
the Red Sox in a regular season game, one of
(19:51):
the two of the defensive highlights of Derek Jeter's career.
The first one is the flip play in Oakland. The
second one is this play against the Red Sox, and
it's it's a play that Ryan McMahon makes that is
really much more dangerous because he completely flips straight over
trying to make this catch, like Gina goes into the
stands and his hip and he falls in and makes
(20:12):
the play. This is him catching the ball and then
completely doing a flip over and he comes out. He's okay, here,
he's okay, He's okay, he made the play. I mean,
that's it. Man. I watched Schlittler pitching tonight and and
and this cat like the Yankees are gonna win the
world I mean, I've I've come to that part of acceptance,
like the in the in the stages of grief where
I'm like still dealing with the Mets losing and everything. No, no, here,
(20:35):
I am Yankees going. Yankee's gonna beat the Blue Jays.
They'll sweep them. They'll beat Scooball in Game one of
the Alcs. They'll go to the World Series. Now you've
got schoolball moving on. Whoa you got they'll beat They'll
beat the Dodgers or really you know, I mean, I
mean really at this point, I really hope the Phillies
win because if the Yankees beat the Phillies, off to
watch the Phillies win the World Series. But yank Yankees
(20:56):
are gonna win now, Like in the way we thought
Aaron Boone is suddenly gonna be kissing baby he's in
signing a contract extension when every other day he is
he is eight minutes away from getting fired, but somehow
they keep pulling it out and pulling it out. No,
the Yankees are gonna win. The World Series certainly has
plenty of ride the Lightning moments. Curtin favorite for the
World Series the Dodgers just ahead of the Phillies, followed
(21:18):
by the Yankees, and the Seattle Mariners are the fourth,
of course, because they're the Yankees. And look at they
Look at what they just did. Oh they're so good.
Look at the Yankees. Ah, they figured out Watching all
the Yankee fans celebrate and yelling in the stands and
beating the Red Sox. I mean, I've I've come to
I've accepted the Yankees are gonna win it all. I've
(21:38):
accepted that, so Carlos Rodon World Series, World Series Champion,
World Series Champions, White Sox Hall of Famer. They're gonna
do it without Garrett Cole. They're gonna do it after
letting Wan Soto go. And it's gonna be a big
middle finger that the Yankees are gonna stick up to
the rest of the greatest World Series parade of all time.
(22:00):
They might have a couple of giant man like puppets
out there that look like cole And and Sodo, just
to say we did it without these guys. No, they'll
be an AI version of one. Soo on there just
with a Mets had on waving to everyone. That's how
it's gonna be about that. I really to think about this. Yeah,
this is the Yankees team that was not nearly as
(22:21):
good as we thought they were early on in the year.
They struggled at the end. They couldn't win it all.
In August, they nearly gave up their their playoff position,
and they were probably again when the Red Sox nearly
swept them in late August. I remember saying, if the
Red Sox sweep this series, Boone is getting fired. But
the Yankees pull out the final game of the series,
(22:41):
they win a few, they catch up to the Blue Jays,
they don't win the division. They're down one game here.
We talked about it Monday. If the Yankees losing two
to the Red Sox, that's it for Aaron Boone. So no, no,
I feel like every time I keep saying the Yankees
could be one game away from Aaron Boone getting fired,
they find a way they win for him. I gotta
stop saying it. Because every time I gotta say, they
(23:01):
say the Yankees gonna win the world's Aaron Boone is
the greatest manager ever. Maybe now that they's gonna lose.
Every time you bury him, he rises up like the
damn Undertaker. He's got more. He is ball got more
comebacks than Motley Crue. I mean, come on, man, well,
I think he at least still does his own managing.
How many last concerts is Motley Crau? Come on, man,
(23:22):
but how many last mock concerts Motley Crush? Oh, we're
done at the end of Troy. No, we keep coming back.
We keep interviewing my big people. Sto owe me, owe
me stuff for that. But every year we interviewed Nikki
six when he's coming back on he's on the show,
yeahs six and they are all our Seattle guys. It's
about time with the Mariners going, he just keep jump.
Wasn't in South America, he'd probably be sitting in studio
(23:42):
with us. It's like watching Bill Murray do the Yeah,
I'm gonna find a way to kill myself in groundhot.
I'm coming back the next day. You just get more
and more creative. Don't drive angry, don't drive angry. Don't
bring the toaster into the bad into the The end
of the show was always a big one, you know,
going off the top of the cliff. He could be okay,
oh no, maybe not after that. I mean that's Aaron
(24:03):
Body keeps going every day, you keep waking up here
and I got you, babe, and it's the Yank and
Aaron Body. Oh another great day. I get to manage
the Yankees. But look at the way that season ended, right.
We talked about it with John Paul Morosi a little
bit earlier in this show. For those that missed it,
go find the audio. Once the podcast goes up, Patrick
and Alex taking care of that, Rihanna in the back,
and Ian and of course Moncie at the news desk,
(24:25):
everybody making it sound so pretty bringing you all the
highlights and news. But with JP talking about the Red
Sox and like the Devor stuff is long ago? Okay,
that Galvani is him? Fine, move on, Roman, Anthony got
hurt a long time ago. You found a way through,
You found a way to take a one nothing lead
in this series, and then in Game two when you're
(24:47):
all about aggression, all about aggressive plays to push through
and rise up in the Al East. Now we're gonna
play conservatively and repeatedly. Look, they won this series. The
Yankees won this series. When when Alex Corey decided to
bunt with Rafaela with two on and nobody out in
the top of the seventh inning, why are you playing
(25:09):
for one run in the seventh inning? It didn't make sense.
Then it makes less sense. Now, why are you having
a guy bunt that you don't know that he can
put that bunt down. It's one thing to put a
bunt down game eighty seven of the regular season, it's
another thing to do it in the seventh inning when
you're trying to send the Yankees home in Yankee Stadium,
and he makes a bad effort and pops it up
to the pitcher. That let all the air out of
(25:29):
the Red Sox balloon. And you know what, the Red
Sox never scored again after that. They were conservative. They
didn't send the runner home, they didn't send Eaton home
on the infield base hit, which you needed to. It's
like they backed off. They drove straight to the middle
and backed off. And once you started being unaggressive, thinking hey,
one run's gonna win this game, we'll played for one,
the Yankees took momentum and they never gave it back.
That RAFAELA bunt is still the biggest play of this
(25:52):
series where with nobody out and two on and the
Yankees make a pitching change because you know you can't
throw strikes, what are you doing at that point? You're
giving them an out. You gave them an out because
it's not just about getting the bunt down, it's about
getting it down successfully. And yes, I get where where
fans say and teams say, well, you should be able
to execute a very fundamental play like that, you know what,
(26:16):
many people can't. And you gotta know that. I'm sorry
that you think they should be able to do it,
and yeah, and theory should they Yeah, but guess what,
everybody can't do it. You can't have people bunt just
because a bunt might be a play here that's worked
over the course of the past eighty years. The bunt
is so much of a play that is that that
should be one that nobody ever does anymore, because what
(26:36):
you're doing is you're giving another team another out. And
a sport that's made for failure, that's about failure. When
if you you succeed three tenths of the time. If
you're really, really good, why are you giving a team
out first and second? Nobody out play for a big inning?
Have they swing away? I don't get it. Alex Korra
is the guy that cost the Red Sox this series. Again,
like the Rams gave the game to the forty nine
(26:58):
ers tonight, they gave that series. They gather ment and
they gave everything to the Yankees, and the Yankees took
it and ran with it. Fernando Cruz comes in and
you get you bail them out, You give him an
easy out. You might as well have just waved. We
should have heard Fernando by Alba coming back. We should
have heard Fernando. I mean, we don't script everything. Clearly,
there was something in the air that night, and it
(27:20):
turned out to be the bunt that was popped up
to Fernando TJ. That's a good one. You like that one,
You like that one. That's a good one. Yeah, Yeah,
that's a good one of my favorite. That was something
in the air that well, especially because then it ended
up being uh, the butt that night to the picture.
I mean, look, this is why you know when I
(27:43):
said last night, when I picked the Yankees to win
this game was well, the Yankees they're taking they're taking
this from the Red Sox. Clear the Red Sox were
trying to just kind of back door their way into winning. Hey,
we're gonna play for one one run on the seventh inning.
You gotta go through the Yankee lineup. We got you
got nine more out exactly. This is not top of
the night. They it's not bottom of the ninth inning.
I don't know. I don't get it. I don't understand.
(28:04):
As I now show you a picture has played by
Andy Garcia and Mama Mia too. Here we go again.
I've been me at three coming soon. Just accept that
the Yankees are gonna win the world. Accept it. I
will not. I've accepted it. No, I've accepted Jumper and
Julio Rodriguez, all the Soto stuff I'm gonna get from
Yankee fans. I've accept all the all this without Garrett
(28:26):
cole Way he comes back. Actually, you know what that
that is actually the worst for you because that close
whapper thin to them getting swept out. You didn't win
an extra game, Shut up about your butt and now
they move on. Yeah it happens again again. You will
feel better if you accept it. If you accept it
the results of the playoffs, you can have more fun.
It will be like I accepted when the Mets got
(28:48):
knocked out, I'm like, good, worry about them playing in
the playoffs anymore? I accept I don't have to watch
that team disappoint me anymore this season. So I felt
okay about We're talking to a guy whose team has
lost one hundred of more games, three of the last
for you. So I just enjoy watching baseball. You're just
I don't enjoy watching stupidity. I don't enjoy watching bad baseball.
So when we see idiotic moves from managers or the
(29:12):
excellence of execution fails. As we continue our walk down
wwe WWF nostalgia, that pisces me off. And that's what
we saw. Exit ou about a Fresco exit swollen down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Just accept the Yankees will win. Everything is better. Time
got a fund out what's trending in the wide world
(29:33):
of sports? And someone who's gonna tell us who the
picture was for the Yankees tonight? And also, hey, monsy,
what was that TV show? It was a comedy? It
was on the air a long time. It did really well.
Eugene Levy was the stall something Creek, Uh yeah, yeah
yeah yeah Dan Levit Dan in this context, can you
say it? Yeah? It was nuts.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Because I will say something else something Creek?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Okay? And who was the picture for the Yankees did
so well? To Pitcher for the Yankees? Is his name
is Creek? Richard Dawson Creek. Okay, okay? Ty shirt for
a dollar? Give me one person. Nobody said, pat let
me see your mouth, and Monzi, no, let me see
you bro. Name one person who starred in Dawson's Creek,
(30:20):
like the actresses or actor's name. Nobody say anything, No, no, Monzi, no, whisper.
Can't your name or actual name actor, actor or actress?
And put your hands up so I don't see you're
typing on the computer. Katie. You just put your head
down up. Mica got your mic was already on. It
was you were talking. It's on. I can't hear you. Cheater, cheater, yes, yes,
(30:45):
what do you think is down here? You probably said
don't and no using your hands, and you were talking.
We all heard you, and you pressed the button. Katie Holmes,
he hadn't talk to talk.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
He doesn't have headphones, so he has to turn off
the mic in order for him to.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
For you to hear it. I'm sorry, it's my first
day in radio. I'm saying it. He's actually doesn't have
that phone. You didn't want to mess up his hair,
can Schlittler, He was not in Dawson. I'll take that
dollar in quarters. No, I'm gonna pay you in Nichols.
How about Nichols Nichole? Now, Montsy can tell us what's trending.
(31:23):
Since apparently Tycher can press the button so she can
tell us the name of the picture. Who started for
the Yankees, Ton Cam Schlittler.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That guy, mister s, mister s pitch s, mister s.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
S blurk, well five it sounds wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Five hits, no runs, no walks, had twelve strikeouts, which
is the most for a Yankees pitcher.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
In their postseason debut. He'll get another chance.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Since the Red Sox shut out the Red or sorry,
the Yankee shut out the Red Sox four zero to
advance to the A L d S. They're gonna face
the Toronto Blue Jay Schlittler, thank you, and the Tigers
are dvancing.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
To the a L d S. Also, they're gonna face
the Mariners.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
They started today's while card series beating the Guardian six
to three. When it comes to the NLDS, it's gonna
be the Cubs who are going to.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Face the Brewers.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Chicago heads to the NLDS for the first time since
twenty seventeen after defeating the Padres three to one Thursday
Night Football. It was an NFC West showdown that went
down to the wire and then some, but the forty
nine Ers basically stopped the Rams on fourth and one
in overtime to win it twenty six to twenty three.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Matt Jones led the way.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
He was thirty three of forty nine for three hundred
and forty two yards two touchdowns, both of them came
in the first half, while running back Kendrick Bourne had
ten catches for one hundred and forty two yards. Matthew
Stafford ended thirty of forty seven for three hundred and
eighty nine yards and three touchdowns. San Francisco could be
without brock Party four Week five, Week.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Six, Week seven.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
He has reaggravated his toe turf injury he aggravated against
the Jaguars in the NFL network is reporting that he
is considered weak to week and could miss more weeks.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
But they've got Matt Jones. They have no problems, they
have back pones. We've been right, No, no, no, so
way Mack tonight. If the if, the if the starting
pitcher for the Yankees tonight, Yes, was the star of
that TV show? Yes? What would be the name of
the show? Cams Creek, Cams Creek, cams Creek. That might
(33:26):
be a walk off moment. Yes, suh, I know tysher
cheated at about a Fresco hect swollen dome. Coming up next,
we get back into the biggest football story of the night.
That's next, Jason and Mike, Fox Sports Radio, Cam Schlittler.

Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
If we go forward on fourth down and then we
have a bad play call and run it right into
the line, Rams lost to the forty nine ers. Rams
lost to the forty nine ers, Rams lost to the
(34:14):
forty niners. Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with
My best friend Mike harmon. Overrated Niners beat the Rams
tonight twenty six, twenty three, and I'm glad you said
that word. You talk about the doors, Yeah, wow, wow,
take it's not really not Yeah, the doors are pretty good,
(34:36):
all right, they were pretty good doors. Yes, it's still fixing,
but overrated. I know they won tonight, I know they're
four and one, But I am not believing in the
in the forty nine ers. I'm just not. You just
don't want to. I'm not. You refused to you because
it's Mac Jones. Oh because because the no I hey,
(34:57):
I had great plaudits about Mac Jones earlier this hour.
I told you, oh yeah, I mean you've now declared
hit the winner by tkover brock Burdy. Hanging brock Purty
looks like a big mistake, right when clearly you can
see that, Hey, a lot of different people can make
it work in this offensive system. But look, you beat
the Saints, you beat the Cardinals, you lost to the Jaguars. Yeah,
(35:20):
you beat who's on the schedule. You beat thee Like,
I'm not believing that they're this great team. They're not.
Their personnel is not great. Kyle Shanahan is a great coach.
But man, the Rams had the advantage over the four
every position tonight. There's not one position where I could
say up. Niners had the advantage coming into this game.
And somehow the Rams found a way, not even to
(35:40):
win a close game, but to give it away to
the forty nine, to fumble the ball on the one
yard line right, to have a horrible play call on
fourth and one in overtime, to come out of the
gate and be down fourteen right away to Mac Jones
in the forty nine ers. Despite the fact Matt Jones
has nobody to throw the football to. You made Kendrick
Born looked like an All Pro. He looked like pek
(36:02):
Randy Moss in this game. I'm not I'm sorry, I'm
not believing the Niners. Look four and one is great
and and and they're winning these games. But i I'm
gonna say this all here. I am not believing this
is not the same team. They've had an advantageous schedule
and the and the Rams threw up on themselves tonight.
I'm not believing in the forty nine ers. Well, I
mean that's two games that have been given away then
(36:24):
by the Rams. So we have to start asking some
questions about them at something. Yes, we did. Coffee is
for closers, you get nothing. But the schedule is still
figure out figure out your kicking and how to figure
out your your field goal attempt and your extra point team,
because that's two games you've lost now because of that.
Didn't they also have a bad kickoff that didn't land
(36:45):
in the zone? Right? Isn't that how overtime started? The
special teams are part of the game. Special teams are
part of the game, especially especially now. Special teams part
of the game. That is right, But their schedule is
going to have some other fun, little little runs. Right.
That was not the whole breakdown of the NFC West
(37:09):
coming into the year, was that the forty nine ers,
if they can stay healthy, which clearly that's gone out
the window long ago, but that their strength of schedule
was suspect and that it was on the schedule being
able to take advantage of the Panthers, the Titans, some
of these other heavyweights that are gonna appear whatever the
(37:31):
Falcons become, the Houston Texans, what are they at this point? Right?
So you're gonna have plenty of opportunities to rack up
wins to where you can maybe get to a double
digit win total, and then if you can steal the
game against a heavyweight, you know, like a Thursday night
game in Inglewood, that suddenly you're in a pretty good
spot to not only make the playoffs, but maybe make
(37:53):
some noise. And maybe you're a team that's a regular
season team. Maybe you are the Pittsburgh stee Oh see.
Either I don't believe in then two one in the
but they do this everything. This means they're both gonna
go to It's gonna be Steelers in the and the
forty nine Ers in the super Bowl. He'll be Mac
Jones and Aaron Rodgers forty nine Ers hosting a super
(38:14):
Bowl up at Levis against not believing. I'm not believing
the Steelers either, not believing that. The point is that
the schedule is there. This is not one of those
that you would have penciled in and said, all right,
they're winning that one. Particularly with the cast of characters
that came to play it was Christian McCaffrey was the
only headliner. Him and Warner. That's it. Everything else was wait,
who's who's running out at wide receiver? Well, Kendrick Bourne,
(38:38):
you're so waiting get George Tittle to come back. Here's
people tongue is, there's people in my fantasy leagues that
picked up Kendrick Bourne today, and I'm like, I'm not
that desperate because I'm getting killed with by them. Sure,
I'm not that dad picking him up and playing them
on a Thursday and now at seventeen points from him
PPR twenty four. Right, how about that? But again, I'm
(39:01):
not believing in that this is not sustainable. This kind
of winning is not to playing bad teams and teams
that throw up on themselves. It's not sustainable. It's a
great run, but I'm not believable. But it's like we've
been talking a lot about the Baseball playoffs. If you
can keep pressure on the opposing squads and once you
get to the bullpen, you got a chance. Like we
(39:22):
watch the Yankees today. They didn't have to go to
the pen until it's tonight thenning right, their rookie carried
them all the way through. Most teams are not quite
so fortunate. But when we look at the forty nine ers,
if you can play even or near even for fifty
five minutes, trust that Shanahan's going to dial up something
and right now, you're feeling pretty good or you're feeling
(39:45):
better anyway. That mac Jones isn't gonna throw up on
himself in this spot, and he's casting away some of
the negativity that it was out there from the end
of his New England run and the short experiment there
in Jacksonville in place of Trevor Lawrence. He was never
gonna win, But I'll tell you there's a system for everyone.
Maybe a little bit more love for Shanahan and being
(40:06):
able to coach in this league and maybe get the
better of Sean McVay, maybe a little bit of that
genius tag. He gets a lower case G. More MLB.

Stream three. A night filled with drama from the jump,
whether it was the awful home plate umpiring Yeah, he's terrible,
(00:48):
Padres and the Cubs fired, the drama of the Yankees
win where they've found their new Jeter and new Andy Pettitt,
and then we have whatever that was on Thursday night
where the forty nine Ers upset the Rams twenty six
twenty three in overtime, a game that the Rams were
(01:09):
just not gonna be happy until they gave it to
San Francisco. No, no, no, we're gonna give We're gonna
give it to, We're gonna keep give We're gonna keep
giving it to. They gave them this game. They not
to be They did claw back from a fourteen nothing
deficits should have never even fourteen seven should have never
been fourteen Why because they they came out and they
played very well. Off are better everywhere, but they weren't
(01:33):
for a half Gon put right exactly. They're better everywhere
than the forty nine ers are. This game shouldn't have
even been close any given Sunday, baby, were you not watching?
Remember the Titans celebrating the anniversary this week? You know
I disagree with this strong side because today's Thursday left side,
wrong side might as well be Sunday today. This is
an embarrassing result for the NK. They were a three
(01:55):
and one team and they had a lot of heart
and knowledge in Shanahan, and you got mac Jones. Baby.
Kendrick Bourne on thurs is right. He looked he found
his identity. He looked like rand He looked like Randy
Moss in his supremacy. Nicely well played, but yeah, I
(02:15):
mean you still had Christian McCaffrey. He was still flying around.
Doesn't matter. This should have been a The Rams should
have won this game by by twenty points. That's how
much better they are than the foot. I mean the
spread was only eight and a half. That's still have
one by twenty. But no Jennings, no Kittle, Nobody, no Rice,
no Tailor, no Peerson, No Brent Jones, Brent Jones my
(02:39):
friend from when he and Jerry Jones and I scouted
the East West Shrine game practice when Tom Brady was
still in school. No Ricky Piersoll, No Jimmy Piersall, No
Preston Pearson, no Drew Pearson. No what is that? Fear
strikes out right in the basis. Yeah, for a White
(03:00):
Sox broadcaster. You want a great, big, hot take coming
off of this game, Oh please, I got one for you.
Come out hit it. Uh And it's great news for
the forty nine ers, great news to a point. Tonight
the game belonged to mac Jones thirty three out of
(03:21):
forty nine, three hundred and forty two yards, passing two touchdowns,
the game winning drive for a field goal. This was
the kind of night that mac Jones had. McCaffrey ships
out from under center. Mac Jones takes petty coals. It's
a touchdown, touchdown forty nine ers on the opening drive
of the game. A couple of penalties and they can't
(03:42):
be stopped. Did he mean for his voice to go
up and crack like that? They can't be stopped the
forty nine ers. Oh, they were a juggernaut, or at
least they still finish with four hundred and seven total yards.
They cannot be stopped. Mac Jones, this is the best
game I have ever seen him play. He was decisive
(04:04):
with the football, He stayed in, he took big hits.
He played with no weapons to throw the football too.
He's still liked Christian McCaffrey, but no wide weapon. I mean, look,
Kendrick Bord is a guy. Okay, here he is out.
He pops up every once in a while. I see
managers right now are going, Oh, I'm so glad. I
picked him up in one of my dad and you
picked him up. You got your ten for eleven targets,
(04:24):
ten of eleven and an incredible game by him. But
Matt Jones, this is his third big game that he
has had to play so far for brock Purty. Six touchdowns,
one interception, quarterback rating over one hundred. Yes, he beat
the Saints the first time. Okay, beat the Arizona Cardos
(04:46):
a little bit better. Now you beat a really good defense,
one of the top three defense in the NFL with
no weapons. Short week, without your top weapons. They showed
the graphic. You're gonna love this. So fourth forty nine
er quarterback to win his first three starts, Montana Young No,
(05:09):
Alex Smith, No, m all right, did I get Montana Young? Right?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You got ye a tittle? Oh, little Jimmy g I
remember whye tittle I had him in Fantasy that year,
A new boy, new offense with a forty nine title.
Ight tittle, Jimmy g Oh, Jimmy g Yeah, Urty okay,
and now Matt Joe back Johnson. Well, it's funny you
mentioned Brock Purty, right, because here's this is the big
hot take. Tonight is a great night for Kyle, A
(05:36):
great night for the forty nine ers. We had a
great night, eat night. They improved a four and one. Yeah,
great night for Kyle Shanahan because look, I've told you
how great a coach he is for a long time.
I don't get the Kyle Shanahan haters, but he's proven
again tonight what a great offensive mind he is. He
is shown once again that he can pick and choose
(05:56):
anybody to come in and play quarterback for the forty
nine ers and then they're pretty good. Okay, great night
for mac Jones. He is restarting his NFL career, right,
no matter what happens after this year, and you know,
brock perty getting that big contract. Hey mac Jones, Hey,
maybe mac Jones is the next Sam Darnold or Geno Smith, right,
thinking mac Jones can get donalded now at some point
because of the way he's played well, because remember he
(06:18):
was three years in New England where he had a
great first year and then they just started Bill bellichitting
the wheel. Bill Belichick decided a tank coming in. I'm
gonna have my DCB the OC, I'm gonna draft players nobody,
So I'm gonna leave this cupboard so incredibly bare for
the next coach to come in. You're not gonna win.
And then he was okay, but wasn't gonna be the
guy in Jacksonville. Everybody was pot committed to Trevor Lawrence.
(06:42):
So now as a member of the forty nine ers,
here we are, like we have said, and we said
this all week, there is a system for everyone, right,
There's a system for every quarterback in the NFL. You
just have to find it now Mac Jones in a
very quarterback friendly system. But here's your hot take. They
didn't need to pay brock Party. Did not need to
pay brock Party because this shows you that, hey, not
(07:05):
that brock Purty hasn't played well, because he has. Right,
the guy's been to a Super Bowl. But go back
to when Kyle Shanahan took over. Let's go get Jimmy Garoppolo.
Jimmy Garoppolo came in, played really well, right. Garoppolo came
and went to an NFC championship game, went to a
Super Bowl. Right, Jimmy Garoppolo has played pretty well, all right, Garoppolo.
You draft Trey Lance. If Trey Lance been able to
(07:26):
stay on the field, Trey Lance would have been fine
in this offense. But he couldn't stay on the field.
That was That's not a forty nine ers thing. This
was They wanted to sit and watch his first year.
Then they gave him the job. He got hurt, he
missed the whole season. Brock Purty comes in, Trey Lance
gets hurt again. Okay, but brock Purty comes in and
he's mister irrelevant and he turns out to be able
to run this team. Is brock Purty really that we
(07:48):
talked about this for years. It's why I have no
problem saying this, was brock Purty really that good? Or
is this an offensive system that you can put a
lot of guys in a quarterback and they can succeed?
All right? Not that brock Purty didn't play well, not
that he didn't deserve his contract, But you're trying to
build a super Bowl winning team and now you have
Mac Jones in here who has shown you that I
can give you the same kind of production as brock Purty,
(08:10):
maybe even better because I'm doing with less weapons than
brock Purty did it with. When brock Purty came in,
he had Kittle in his prime and Deebo in his
prime and Brandon Ayuk and they make the move for
Christian McCaffrey. Okay, you got great weapons everywhere. Man. This
year has been hey man, no Ayuk. You know Deebo
no Deebo. Kittle's been out make it work, and Mac
(08:33):
Jones has made it work. The pedigree that he has
had coming from being a first round pick out of
Alabama is showing itself right now. You did not need
to pay brock Purty. You did not need to give
him this money. And you're looking at a situation now
where man had we just kind of gained the quarterback
situation a little bit if we understood, hey, other guys
(08:53):
can we can make it work? How much better would
it have been for the Niners to be looking at
a future the next years as well? We got but
Matt Jones in here for a couple of years and
twenty million dollars, not brock Party for the next five
to six years. At two hundred and sixty million dollars,
we have a lot more money to go out there
and get other players to shore up our defense, to
get more playmakers in because we're gonna need more playmakers
(09:14):
as these guys wind up following that finding their way
out of the league. Right, we can go get a
tight end, we can go get somebody. We're gonna need
these kinds of things. The Niners have an incredible offensive
system that they can make it work with just about
any quarterback that they picked that they know is the
right fit. So now I look back and go, what
really did you need the Brocolipse. Did you need to
pay brock Party? You did not. You could have made
(09:36):
this work with Mac Jones, because I trust Kyle Shanahan
and everything he wants to do offensively going forward. You
could have made it work. And what kind of situation
would you be in, knowing what you need to make
your offensive system work. If you've got a quarterback that
you're saying, yeah, this guy's gonna work for ten to
fifteen million dollars a year, not even that for the
next couple of years, versus the guy that yeah, you're
(09:57):
getting the same production, but you're paying him fifty million
dollar dollars a year. Brock Party didn't need to get
that money. They could have done a lot of things.
You talked about franchising in this year and maybe, hey,
you make that decision after this year. Oh okay, Well
if we franchise Brock Party for this year, okay that
you're still paying him this year, but after this year, hey,
we can make this work with mac Jones. Brock good
(10:17):
luck and free agency, and we're paying mac Jones a
fraction of that kind of money and we build our
roster even better. Plus side, looking for forty nine ers
looking into the contract a little bit more, only making
nine million against the cap this year, Okay, twenty four
to seven next year, thirty in twenty twenty seven, and
(10:40):
then it leaps to fifty seven twenty twenty nine is
where you absolutely get murdered because it's seventy two and
a half but one hundred and eighty one million guaranteed.
And as we know, you can always play with money
in the NFL and have some fun with its salary
cap will keep going up, so we'll be a lesser
percentage if he's still with you, if you haven't negotiated
(11:00):
some sort of settlement, buy out, et cetera for this year.
I mean mac Jones on a two year deal. Seven
million dollars is all he's on for this year and
next and for even next year dollar cost averaging, that's
enoughing for your quarterback position. It's those years hence where
it starts to get a bit dicey. And to your point,
(11:21):
if you've found another option in mac Jones that can
give you the same or better that you know eventually
you've got to pay the piper. For this year, they're
actually in pretty good shape. They they've sloughed off a
number of those high priced players against the cap, but
they're gonna need to keep doing that. Right, Well, we
(11:41):
watched it where they didn't bring Deebo back, and they'll
have to make some decisions. Trent Williams getting older, George
Kittle getting older, guys that are that are more expensive.
You will have to make those hard decisions here in
this coming off season. But short term, yeah, there's gonna
be a lot of handwringing with Mac Jones playing as
(12:02):
well as he did, especially this week when it started
becoming well, because it's a short week, you're not gonna
rush brock Purty back. Could he have played maybe? Maybe not.
Now you're like, damn right, I'm back for next week.
I'm sitting down long week. I'll be ready for Week
six against Tampa. Matt Jones is out partying brock Purty.
(12:23):
He's out purtying him. You're getting out partied. We got
to figure out something that's you know, he's got he's
out purty him. You're out getting out pretty. It's a
new Brocolypse party. Mah perdy Man's I mean, really you went,
you went full Batman and Prince soundtrack. There you go.
It's it's it's not the case of second guessing. All well, clearly,
(12:48):
if we knew Mac Jones. You have to know, Kyle Shanahan.
He's made it work with all of these guys, right,
so with Brock Purty and it became a thing, and
they were wringing their hands his Brock Purty stuff, right
because they waited. They wait well, because he's also a
cult hero, drafted, mister irrelevant. All of that. You get
a lot of good will off of that, right, and
it's good will, But eventually it's about winning football games.
(13:10):
And you had Purty for his contract in which you
weren't paying him, and you couldn't win the Super Bowl.
You got there, right, you got close. How do you
keep that window open? You have to know, and Kyle
Shanahan's got to know if you if you made it
work with a guy that was mister irrelevant, Okay, there's
other guys out there that can come in that you
can make it work with. And it's not that you
had just suddenly kick brought Perty to the curb. But okay, hey, Brock,
(13:32):
we're gonna franchise you this year. Mac Jones coming. You
want to push this out because the minute you get
locked into a quarterback like that, that cuts your window
to win the Super Bowl. That cuts it in half
because you're paying all this money to a quarterback when
you need other you need other things to changes the window.
It also depends on where where you're at in your
life cycle of the rest of your roster. And for
(13:52):
San Francisco, the NOD last year and certainly the note
coming into this year is that you've got a lot
of these aging parts at key contributors, right that, at
key positions. Again, owing back to where Trent Williams is
in his football timeline, I mean they may look back
at this and go, hey, well we're lucky we got
another guy and perty comes back. But mac Jones, I mean,
(14:15):
he looks really comfortable in this offense. He looks really good.
He this again, this is the best I have seen
him look in the NFL. He had a good rookie year,
but clearly he had the shackles on him a bit
with the Belichicks. And we're not gonna remember the one
game he had where we threw the ball three times.
We're just gonna run the ball every single pack fall
A good strategy though, because it worked. But it's but again,
(14:36):
but it's not like mac Jones was. So he didn't
come in and lead like Dan Marino. You know, look
at this, he's just throwing the ball all over the field.
I have seen him play. Oh, Dan Marino is gonna
come kick your ass. He's gonna got my gloves. I'm
ready for you.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
He's gonna use isotonas to not leave marks on your face.
That's what he's gonna hurt and leave no mark. Nine
may come to rue that decision to pay brock party.
Seeing what you know, and you gotta know this is
these are the guys who can do things like this
in our quarterbacks, but also just the larger point, as
we've talked about this week and many weeks before, about
(15:16):
finding your system, getting that next chance, keeping keeping things alive,
and this is, you know, not just football related, but
just in life that you find your spot. But certainly
for Mac Jones, this guy being written off right Patriots
to the Jaguars, Like, ah, he's just a guy, Like
maybe he's not. Maybe it's all about where you end up,
(15:40):
right system, right time and place, and keep taking your
throwing your punches, exit out about a fresca, exit swollen
down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Just add Matt Jones out purtying brock Purty. Coming up next,
we have more on Thursday Night Football, we break down
(16:01):
what is next now for the Niners and the Rams,

win the World Series. No, that's next Jason and Mike

Speaker 1 (16:56):
You know, I did that dance with some Abba holograms
the ABA Museum in Stockholm. That song goes out to
Bill Plaski ab a fan extraordinaire La Times. Today is Friday,
Red Sox couldn't get a run on n Schlitzler was
really good. And McMahon's the new Derek Jeter. Nickmahon, we'll
(17:22):
have more on the Thursday night upset extravaganza. Well technically
it is on the East. Cuss, you're right coming up
in a few minutes. But Yankees eliminate the Red Sox tonight,
and I've already accepted the Yankees are going to win
the world. No, stop putting that out verse. I've accepted it.
(17:42):
You add, Look, Cam Schlitzler was tremendous, all the different
accolades you have seen the first rookie pitcher with this
many strikeouts in the game. You're seeing all the all
time greats that have pitched in the in the in
the playoffs where they are twelve strikeouts tonight, eight innings.
The Yankee shut out the Red Sox for nothing. He's
(18:03):
the new Andy Pettitt. All of a sudden, He's the
new Andy Pettitt, Right, That's what he is. After yesterday
we watched Bernie Williams throw out a first pitch. Yeah,
I kept waiting for him the best bust out the
bass guitar. Oh oh yeah yeah, like slam and then
break it over home plate like Pete Townsend. Yeah heically done. Yeah,
Yankee's third favorite to win the World Series. You had
(18:24):
this night tonight from Cam Schlittler, and then you had
the play that really puts it in perspective. When you
have a play that becomes the new Derek Jeter play, Well, yeah,
I really kind of feel the Yankees are going to
win the World too. The first pitcher, durd swing on
a little looper down the left down the third day side. Look, Kadley,
I don't get hurt. A mcmah catches head falls into
(18:45):
the dugout. They did a total backflip and McMahon is nothing,
it's good to go. Wow, what to play? They went
full speed into the third base dugout and flipped over
the rail and they Yankees Radio Network on the call.
It really did have a very ww oh you don't
quit with that, McMahon. I'll tell you what. McMahon just
(19:08):
he and tested old fortitude. McMahon. I'm just picturing and
listening hearing Jesse Venture's voice calling everybody's going over the railway.
Yeah yeah, yeah, looking throwing his body around with reckless abandoned.
Oh yeah, he's a human wrecking machine. Back to when
he was campaigning for for governor of Minnesota, calling everybody
McMahon and the press conferences. You got a question, McMahon,
(19:30):
what about you? McMahon, You got something? McMahon. I'm sorry,
I'm I'm I'm I'm Jim Dwighte from the uh it.
It doesn't matter, McMahon, What do you got for me?
But the McMahon play is the new Jeter play. It's
the it's the new Jeter play. It's him going into
the stands oh by the way, twenty years ago against
the Red Sox in a regular season game, one of
(19:51):
the two of the defensive highlights of Derek Jeter's career.
The first one is the flip play in Oakland. The
second one is this play against the Red Sox, and
it's it's a play that Ryan McMahon makes that is
really much more dangerous because he completely flips straight over
trying to make this catch, like Gina goes into the
stands and his hip and he falls in and makes
(20:12):
the play. This is him catching the ball and then
completely doing a flip over and he comes out. He's okay, here,
he's okay, He's okay, he made the play. I mean,
that's it. Man. I watched Schlittler pitching tonight and and
and this cat like the Yankees are gonna win the
world I mean, I've I've come to that part of acceptance,
like the in the in the stages of grief where
I'm like still dealing with the Mets losing and everything. No, no, here,
(20:35):
I am Yankees going. Yankee's gonna beat the Blue Jays.
They'll sweep them. They'll beat Scooball in Game one of
the Alcs. They'll go to the World Series. Now you've
got schoolball moving on. Whoa you got they'll beat They'll
beat the Dodgers or really you know, I mean, I
mean really at this point, I really hope the Phillies
win because if the Yankees beat the Phillies, off to
watch the Phillies win the World Series. But yank Yankees
(20:56):
are gonna win now, Like in the way we thought
Aaron Boone is suddenly gonna be kissing baby he's in
signing a contract extension when every other day he is
he is eight minutes away from getting fired, but somehow
they keep pulling it out and pulling it out. No,
the Yankees are gonna win. The World Series certainly has
plenty of ride the Lightning moments. Curtin favorite for the
World Series the Dodgers just ahead of the Phillies, followed
(21:18):
by the Yankees, and the Seattle Mariners are the fourth,
of course, because they're the Yankees. And look at they
Look at what they just did. Oh they're so good.
Look at the Yankees. Ah, they figured out Watching all
the Yankee fans celebrate and yelling in the stands and
beating the Red Sox. I mean, I've I've come to
I've accepted the Yankees are gonna win it all. I've
(21:38):
accepted that, so Carlos Rodon World Series, World Series Champion,
World Series Champions, White Sox Hall of Famer. They're gonna
do it without Garrett Cole. They're gonna do it after
letting Wan Soto go. And it's gonna be a big
middle finger that the Yankees are gonna stick up to
the rest of the greatest World Series parade of all time.
(22:00):
They might have a couple of giant man like puppets
out there that look like cole And and Sodo, just
to say we did it without these guys. No, they'll
be an AI version of one. Soo on there just
with a Mets had on waving to everyone. That's how
it's gonna be about that. I really to think about this. Yeah,
this is the Yankees team that was not nearly as
(22:21):
good as we thought they were early on in the year.
They struggled at the end. They couldn't win it all.
In August, they nearly gave up their their playoff position,
and they were probably again when the Red Sox nearly
swept them in late August. I remember saying, if the
Red Sox sweep this series, Boone is getting fired. But
the Yankees pull out the final game of the series,
(22:41):
they win a few, they catch up to the Blue Jays,
they don't win the division. They're down one game here.
We talked about it Monday. If the Yankees losing two
to the Red Sox, that's it for Aaron Boone. So no, no,
I feel like every time I keep saying the Yankees
could be one game away from Aaron Boone getting fired,
they find a way they win for him. I gotta
stop saying it. Because every time I gotta say, they
(23:01):
say the Yankees gonna win the world's Aaron Boone is
the greatest manager ever. Maybe now that they's gonna lose.
Every time you bury him, he rises up like the
damn Undertaker. He's got more. He is ball got more
comebacks than Motley Crue. I mean, come on, man, well,
I think he at least still does his own managing.
How many last concerts is Motley Crau? Come on, man,
(23:22):
but how many last mock concerts Motley Crush? Oh, we're
done at the end of Troy. No, we keep coming back.
We keep interviewing my big people. Sto owe me, owe
me stuff for that. But every year we interviewed Nikki
six when he's coming back on he's on the show,
yeahs six and they are all our Seattle guys. It's
about time with the Mariners going, he just keep jump.
Wasn't in South America, he'd probably be sitting in studio
(23:42):
with us. It's like watching Bill Murray do the Yeah,
I'm gonna find a way to kill myself in groundhot.
I'm coming back the next day. You just get more
and more creative. Don't drive angry, don't drive angry. Don't
bring the toaster into the bad into the The end
of the show was always a big one, you know,
going off the top of the cliff. He could be okay,
oh no, maybe not after that. I mean that's Aaron
(24:03):
Body keeps going every day, you keep waking up here
and I got you, babe, and it's the Yank and
Aaron Body. Oh another great day. I get to manage
the Yankees. But look at the way that season ended, right.
We talked about it with John Paul Morosi a little
bit earlier in this show. For those that missed it,
go find the audio. Once the podcast goes up, Patrick
and Alex taking care of that, Rihanna in the back,
and Ian and of course Moncie at the news desk,
(24:25):
everybody making it sound so pretty bringing you all the
highlights and news. But with JP talking about the Red
Sox and like the Devor stuff is long ago? Okay,
that Galvani is him? Fine, move on, Roman, Anthony got
hurt a long time ago. You found a way through,
You found a way to take a one nothing lead
in this series, and then in Game two when you're
(24:47):
all about aggression, all about aggressive plays to push through
and rise up in the Al East. Now we're gonna
play conservatively and repeatedly. Look, they won this series. The
Yankees won this series. When when Alex Corey decided to
bunt with Rafaela with two on and nobody out in
the top of the seventh inning, why are you playing
(25:09):
for one run in the seventh inning? It didn't make sense.
Then it makes less sense. Now, why are you having
a guy bunt that you don't know that he can
put that bunt down. It's one thing to put a
bunt down game eighty seven of the regular season, it's
another thing to do it in the seventh inning when
you're trying to send the Yankees home in Yankee Stadium,
and he makes a bad effort and pops it up
to the pitcher. That let all the air out of
(25:29):
the Red Sox balloon. And you know what, the Red
Sox never scored again after that. They were conservative. They
didn't send the runner home, they didn't send Eaton home
on the infield base hit, which you needed to. It's
like they backed off. They drove straight to the middle
and backed off. And once you started being unaggressive, thinking hey,
one run's gonna win this game, we'll played for one,
the Yankees took momentum and they never gave it back.
That RAFAELA bunt is still the biggest play of this
(25:52):
series where with nobody out and two on and the
Yankees make a pitching change because you know you can't
throw strikes, what are you doing at that point? You're
giving them an out. You gave them an out because
it's not just about getting the bunt down, it's about
getting it down successfully. And yes, I get where where
fans say and teams say, well, you should be able
to execute a very fundamental play like that, you know what,
(26:16):
many people can't. And you gotta know that. I'm sorry
that you think they should be able to do it,
and yeah, and theory should they Yeah, but guess what,
everybody can't do it. You can't have people bunt just
because a bunt might be a play here that's worked
over the course of the past eighty years. The bunt
is so much of a play that is that that
should be one that nobody ever does anymore, because what
(26:36):
you're doing is you're giving another team another out. And
a sport that's made for failure, that's about failure. When
if you you succeed three tenths of the time. If
you're really, really good, why are you giving a team
out first and second? Nobody out play for a big inning?
Have they swing away? I don't get it. Alex Korra
is the guy that cost the Red Sox this series. Again,
like the Rams gave the game to the forty nine
(26:58):
ers tonight, they gave that series. They gather ment and
they gave everything to the Yankees, and the Yankees took
it and ran with it. Fernando Cruz comes in and
you get you bail them out, You give him an
easy out. You might as well have just waved. We
should have heard Fernando by Alba coming back. We should
have heard Fernando. I mean, we don't script everything. Clearly,
there was something in the air that night, and it
(27:20):
turned out to be the bunt that was popped up
to Fernando TJ. That's a good one. You like that one,
You like that one. That's a good one. Yeah, Yeah,
that's a good one of my favorite. That was something
in the air that well, especially because then it ended
up being uh, the butt that night to the picture.
I mean, look, this is why you know when I
(27:43):
said last night, when I picked the Yankees to win
this game was well, the Yankees they're taking they're taking
this from the Red Sox. Clear the Red Sox were
trying to just kind of back door their way into winning. Hey,
we're gonna play for one one run on the seventh inning.
You gotta go through the Yankee lineup. We got you
got nine more out exactly. This is not top of
the night. They it's not bottom of the ninth inning.
I don't know. I don't get it. I don't understand.
(28:04):
As I now show you a picture has played by
Andy Garcia and Mama Mia too. Here we go again.
I've been me at three coming soon. Just accept that
the Yankees are gonna win the world. Accept it. I
will not. I've accepted it. No, I've accepted Jumper and
Julio Rodriguez, all the Soto stuff I'm gonna get from
Yankee fans. I've accept all the all this without Garrett
(28:26):
cole Way he comes back. Actually, you know what that
that is actually the worst for you because that close
whapper thin to them getting swept out. You didn't win
an extra game, Shut up about your butt and now
they move on. Yeah it happens again again. You will
feel better if you accept it. If you accept it
the results of the playoffs, you can have more fun.
It will be like I accepted when the Mets got
(28:48):
knocked out, I'm like, good, worry about them playing in
the playoffs anymore? I accept I don't have to watch
that team disappoint me anymore this season. So I felt
okay about We're talking to a guy whose team has
lost one hundred of more games, three of the last
for you. So I just enjoy watching baseball. You're just
I don't enjoy watching stupidity. I don't enjoy watching bad baseball.
So when we see idiotic moves from managers or the
(29:12):
excellence of execution fails. As we continue our walk down
wwe WWF nostalgia, that pisces me off. And that's what
we saw. Exit ou about a Fresco exit swollen down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Just accept the Yankees will win. Everything is better. Time
got a fund out what's trending in the wide world
(29:33):
of sports? And someone who's gonna tell us who the
picture was for the Yankees tonight? And also, hey, monsy,
what was that TV show? It was a comedy? It
was on the air a long time. It did really well.
Eugene Levy was the stall something Creek, Uh yeah, yeah
yeah yeah Dan Levit Dan in this context, can you
say it? Yeah? It was nuts.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Because I will say something else something Creek?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Okay? And who was the picture for the Yankees did
so well? To Pitcher for the Yankees? Is his name
is Creek? Richard Dawson Creek. Okay, okay? Ty shirt for
a dollar? Give me one person. Nobody said, pat let

was you were talking. It's on. I can't hear you. Cheater, cheater, yes, yes,
(30:45):

We all heard you, and you pressed the button. Katie Holmes,
he hadn't talk to talk.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
He doesn't have headphones, so he has to turn off
the mic in order for him to.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
For you to hear it. I'm sorry, it's my first
day in radio. I'm saying it. He's actually doesn't have
that phone. You didn't want to mess up his hair,
can Schlittler, He was not in Dawson. I'll take that
dollar in quarters. No, I'm gonna pay you in Nichols.
How about Nichols Nichole? Now, Montsy can tell us what's trending.
(31:23):
Since apparently Tycher can press the button so she can
tell us the name of the picture. Who started for
the Yankees, Ton Cam Schlittler.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That guy, mister s, mister s pitch s, mister s.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
S blurk, well five it sounds wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Five hits, no runs, no walks, had twelve strikeouts, which
is the most for a Yankees pitcher.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
In their postseason debut. He'll get another chance.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Since the Red Sox shut out the Red or sorry,
the Yankee shut out the Red Sox four zero to
advance to the A L d S. They're gonna face
the Toronto Blue Jay Schlittler, thank you, and the Tigers
are dvancing.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
To the a L d S. Also, they're gonna face
the Mariners.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
They started today's while card series beating the Guardian six
to three. When it comes to the NLDS, it's gonna
be the Cubs who are going to.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Face the Brewers.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Chicago heads to the NLDS for the first time since
twenty seventeen after defeating the Padres three to one Thursday
Night Football. It was an NFC West showdown that went
down to the wire and then some, but the forty
nine Ers basically stopped the Rams on fourth and one
in overtime to win it twenty six to twenty three.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Matt Jones led the way.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
He was thirty three of forty nine for three hundred
and forty two yards two touchdowns, both of them came
in the first half, while running back Kendrick Bourne had
ten catches for one hundred and forty two yards. Matthew
Stafford ended thirty of forty seven for three hundred and
eighty nine yards and three touchdowns. San Francisco could be
without brock Party four Week five, Week.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Six, Week seven.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
He has reaggravated his toe turf injury he aggravated against
the Jaguars in the NFL network is reporting that he
is considered weak to week and could miss more weeks.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
But they've got Matt Jones. They have no problems, they
have back pones. We've been right, No, no, no, so
way Mack tonight. If the if, the if the starting
pitcher for the Yankees tonight, Yes, was the star of
that TV show? Yes? What would be the name of
the show? Cams Creek, Cams Creek, cams Creek. That might
(33:26):
be a walk off moment. Yes, suh, I know tysher
cheated at about a Fresco hect swollen dome. Coming up next,
we get back into the biggest football story of the night.
That's next, Jason and Mike, Fox Sports Radio, Cam Schlittler.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
If we go forward on fourth down and then we
have a bad play call and run it right into
the line, Rams lost to the forty nine ers. Rams
lost to the forty nine ers, Rams lost to the
(34:14):
forty niners. Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with
My best friend Mike harmon. Overrated Niners beat the Rams
tonight twenty six, twenty three, and I'm glad you said
that word. You talk about the doors, Yeah, wow, wow,
take it's not really not Yeah, the doors are pretty good,
(34:36):
all right, they were pretty good doors. Yes, it's still fixing,
but overrated. I know they won tonight, I know they're
four and one, But I am not believing in the
in the forty nine ers. I'm just not. You just
don't want to. I'm not. You refused to you because
it's Mac Jones. Oh because because the no I hey,
(34:57):
I had great plaudits about Mac Jones earlier this hour.
I told you, oh yeah, I mean you've now declared
hit the winner by tkover brock Burdy. Hanging brock Purty
looks like a big mistake, right when clearly you can
see that, Hey, a lot of different people can make
it work in this offensive system. But look, you beat
the Saints, you beat the Cardinals, you lost to the Jaguars. Yeah,
(35:20):
you beat who's on the schedule. You beat thee Like,
I'm not believing that they're this great team. They're not.
Their personnel is not great. Kyle Shanahan is a great coach.
But man, the Rams had the advantage over the four
every position tonight. There's not one position where I could
say up. Niners had the advantage coming into this game.
And somehow the Rams found a way, not even to
(35:40):
win a close game, but to give it away to
the forty nine, to fumble the ball on the one
yard line right, to have a horrible play call on
fourth and one in overtime, to come out of the
gate and be down fourteen right away to Mac Jones
in the forty nine ers. Despite the fact Matt Jones
has nobody to throw the football to. You made Kendrick
Born looked like an All Pro. He looked like pek
(36:02):
Randy Moss in this game. I'm not I'm sorry, I'm
not believing the Niners. Look four and one is great
and and and they're winning these games. But i I'm
gonna say this all here. I am not believing this
is not the same team. They've had an advantageous schedule
and the and the Rams threw up on themselves tonight.
I'm not believing in the forty nine ers. Well, I
mean that's two games that have been given away then
(36:24):
by the Rams. So we have to start asking some
questions about them at something. Yes, we did. Coffee is
for closers, you get nothing. But the schedule is still
figure out figure out your kicking and how to figure
out your your field goal attempt and your extra point team,
because that's two games you've lost now because of that.
Didn't they also have a bad kickoff that didn't land
(36:45):
in the zone? Right? Isn't that how overtime started? The
special teams are part of the game. Special teams are
part of the game, especially especially now. Special teams part
of the game. That is right, But their schedule is
going to have some other fun, little little runs. Right.
That was not the whole breakdown of the NFC West
(37:09):
coming into the year, was that the forty nine ers,
if they can stay healthy, which clearly that's gone out
the window long ago, but that their strength of schedule
was suspect and that it was on the schedule being
able to take advantage of the Panthers, the Titans, some
of these other heavyweights that are gonna appear whatever the
(37:31):
Falcons become, the Houston Texans, what are they at this point? Right?
So you're gonna have plenty of opportunities to rack up
wins to where you can maybe get to a double
digit win total, and then if you can steal the
game against a heavyweight, you know, like a Thursday night
game in Inglewood, that suddenly you're in a pretty good
spot to not only make the playoffs, but maybe make
(37:53):
some noise. And maybe you're a team that's a regular
season team. Maybe you are the Pittsburgh stee Oh see.
Either I don't believe in then two one in the
but they do this everything. This means they're both gonna
go to It's gonna be Steelers in the and the
forty nine Ers in the super Bowl. He'll be Mac
Jones and Aaron Rodgers forty nine Ers hosting a super
(38:14):
Bowl up at Levis against not believing. I'm not believing
the Steelers either, not believing that. The point is that
the schedule is there. This is not one of those
that you would have penciled in and said, all right,
they're winning that one. Particularly with the cast of characters
that came to play it was Christian McCaffrey was the
only headliner. Him and Warner. That's it. Everything else was wait,
who's who's running out at wide receiver? Well, Kendrick Bourne,
(38:38):
you're so waiting get George Tittle to come back. Here's
people tongue is, there's people in my fantasy leagues that
picked up Kendrick Bourne today, and I'm like, I'm not
that desperate because I'm getting killed with by them. Sure,
I'm not that dad picking him up and playing them
on a Thursday and now at seventeen points from him
PPR twenty four. Right, how about that? But again, I'm
(39:01):
not believing in that this is not sustainable. This kind
of winning is not to playing bad teams and teams
that throw up on themselves. It's not sustainable. It's a
great run, but I'm not believable. But it's like we've
been talking a lot about the Baseball playoffs. If you
can keep pressure on the opposing squads and once you
get to the bullpen, you got a chance. Like we
(39:22):
watch the Yankees today. They didn't have to go to
the pen until it's tonight thenning right, their rookie carried
them all the way through. Most teams are not quite
so fortunate. But when we look at the forty nine ers,
if you can play even or near even for fifty
five minutes, trust that Shanahan's going to dial up something
and right now, you're feeling pretty good or you're feeling
(39:45):
better anyway. That mac Jones isn't gonna throw up on
himself in this spot, and he's casting away some of
the negativity that it was out there from the end
of his New England run and the short experiment there
in Jacksonville in place of Trevor Lawrence. He was never
gonna win, But I'll tell you there's a system for everyone.
Maybe a little bit more love for Shanahan and being
(40:06):
able to coach in this league and maybe get the
better of Sean McVay, maybe a little bit of that
genius tag. He gets a lower case G. More MLB.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
