(00:58):
we'll get back into the Dodgers, their incredible win over
the Phillies and that final play that we need to
get into a deep breakdown of. However, uh, this news
just coming into the studio. You heard Monci Bolangos mentioned
a couple seconds ago It was just last week that
we brought you the news that Sister Jean Loyoli University
(01:20):
of Chicago's Jean de Laura Schmidt retiring from her duties
that she's had at Loyola since she was there in
nineteen ninety one at the age of one oh six.
And it has been confirmed by Sham's Charania Loyola as
well that Sister Jean has passed away at the age
of one hundred and six. One hundred and six man
(01:41):
Katholic nun campus minister, the official chaplain of the Ramblers
men's basketball team. Uh, you know, you say it all
the time. You say, well, that was a good run.
That is an unbelievable run. One hundred and six year run.
A March Madness legend. She became a March Madness legend
in her nineties. Yeah, she became a March Madness legend.
(02:03):
She get out there and kut something today, damn it.
She started at Loyola in nineteen ninety one. Okay, just
think about this for a second, right, She started at
nineteen ninety one, when she was seventy one. That's when
she started, not just hey, i'm done and fits started,
I'm starting a new job at seventy one, when the
(02:25):
Wilford Brimley line from the Naturalist fellow people don't start
playing ball at your age, they retired. It's like, hey,
people don't start doing they retire. She started her new
job in nineteen nineteen, thirty four years ago and she
was seventy one years old, and the entire run that
she has from was starting when she was seventy one
(02:46):
all the way up until now. That that is an
unbelievable run.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
To have just an a monumental figure on that campus.
I know a lot of folks that have passed through
their undergrad into graduate work and omnipresent force I brought
out as a speaker and shake hands, kissed babies, raising
money for different things on campus, and and just a
positive figure for their community. You mentioned Wilfrid Brimley. You remember,
(03:13):
if you were born on January tenth, nineteen seventy five,
you're at the Wilfrid Brimley line from cocun because remember
he was very youthful. All that is to say, I
mean you got You're stuck with me for another twenty
years before I get to look for something else, because
that'll hit my seventiesh my god, what a hell of
a run and a positive figure and just like a
(03:37):
real live person mascot for a team. Just the fact
that she became a March Madness touchstone right away, right,
because you gotta go back to twenty eighteen, right is
when so so maybe what she in her late nineties
when when she first went Loyola Matt Loyla Mack. When
Loyola Chicago is on the big run, right, they be
inciting Miami to go to the final four, that that
(03:58):
big three from the top of the key to win
the game. And she burst onto the scene, burst onto
the scene when she was, you know, ninety six, ninety
seven years old, and it was whoa, this is the
chaplain and she she became her own cottage industry. She
made like right away, it was whoa, this is the
person who would give scouting reports to the basketball team
(04:19):
and did this for as long as she'd game speeches
and halftime prayers and all of those things. Yeah, but
just a reminder though in our sporting world, because me, look,
if it bleeds, it leads, right, it's journalism one oh
one and certainly lowercase jay when we talk about a
lot of the sports stories that we do, right, they
all had meaning to us. But you know, on the
(04:40):
grand scale, it's balls and strikes. But for Sister Gene,
it was something a positivity thing that people rallied around.
So it is good to know every once in a
while that we can still rally to something good. Now,
Barstool Sports has just put this up just to give
you a glimpse of sister g because really we just
saw her during the tournament, right, and indeed, Loyola to
(05:03):
win to become a sister Jean became. I remember when she.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Was going back and forth yeah with Jalen Rose's grandmother,
who was in her late nineties, and they were saying
it's over. Like the trash talk between the two of those.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I remember. I'm like, oh my god, I remember Jalen
Rose's grandma saying, Sister Jean, your run is over. It's over.
On Sunday.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It's like, oh my god, this is an excell at
WWE stuff. Okay, can you give me a shoot interview?
Like it's the eighties. I think this is I think
this is from this year's game where Loyola played Illinois.
All right, this Barsel Sports putting this up. This is
an excerpt from the prayer for the game against Illinois.
Right barstools got this. As we play the fighting a
(05:45):
lie and I, we asked for special help to overcome
this team and get a great win. We hope to
score early and make our opponents nervous. Okay, pretty much,
so that's good. We have a great opportunity to confert
rebounds as this team makes about fifty percent of its
layups and thirty percent of threes. Our defense can take
care of that.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I like that. God on me, God on three, one two,
three gone. It's just statistically in fact base, not you know,
inciting anything crazy. Just hey, here's the opportunity ahead of us.
You know, it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And when when the news came out that she was
retiring and we talked about it, it was late September.
I remember saying to myself, boy, I hope she's okay
and she just can't. You know, it's hard when you want,
oh six like I'm gonna still go to school every day. Ah,
I'm kind of done. I'm kind of I was hoping
that we're in an era most people don't want to
go to work in their twenties.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Man, that is true. Literally, I'm gonna say I'm not
saying go to work as in I have a job
that I have to go to. I'm just saying go
to work in general. I'm gonna work remotely. Yeah, No,
I'm gonna actually go into it. Okay. So I was
hoping that that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Obviously here you know, it was her, you know, not
not being able to and be and being at the
end of one hundred and six years old.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
The things you've seen, the things you've done, the people
you've encountered, and certainly the world wind global acclaim of
this last decade. I mean just I mean, that's a
hell level run to go out.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
You know, and and and the thing is right when
I think about Sister Gene, this is what I think about,
is that in life we spend time trying to figure
out we want to enjoy the good times, right, and
the good times are the last few years a little
bit harder to come by. Right. We are a much
more divided nation than we've ever been, and that's never
going anywhere. So trying to find your wins, you like
(07:27):
to say, find your wins, but try to find your wins,
Try to find the good times, and as your life
goes on there get you get to a point where
I think, you think, Okay, my best is behind me.
What do I have left ahead of me? Am I
looking forward to retiring? Do I still have something to
say right? Or am I done right? And I think
it's easy to say, you know what, I just want
(07:49):
to unplug and I want to and I want to
be done with stuff, and I want to just enjoy
the time I have doing whatever I want to do.
But my time of influence and my time that I'm
here where I'm effected other people's lives on a daily basis,
that's something that maybe I've had my chance, I've done
it and I'm moving on. And maybe it's whatever you
do for a living and how you deal with your family.
But the fact that that Sister Jean is someone that
(08:12):
again start, you know, affected people's lives for basically all
of one hundred and six years started what made her
famous in the early nineteen nineties, didn't really get crazy
famous until she was, you know, ninety seven, ninety eight
years old, and then affected more people than she ever
had in her life before. Because all of a sudden,
Sister Jean went viral, and it was look at what
(08:35):
at ninety eight? So so the big thing I come
away with is that don't ever think you're too old
to be able to affect life and affect people and
and and give them messages and get them on a
good path. Because clearly sister Gina showed you, whatever your
age is, you can still do that.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's the George Harrison line from Traveling Wilbury's when you're
old and gray, but if you still got something to say,
it's all right, right end of the line.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And I think about that when I think about her going.
She was in her late nineties, and this is when
she first became first hitted big, right, you hear it?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Like if I remember those guys were old, they were
in their forties. Yeah, ah, they were done. We've been
putting it. Unfortunately Roy passed. Otherwise you would have had
that tour. But think about it. I mean, Dyling's still
out at eighty. I mean you could still impact people
and and no matter what path you have in life,
you are arriving at that path at your own pace. Right.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
The life is a race. It's only with yourself, right.
The bos Lerman line from U sunscreen. But just to
think about how, hey, ninety eight, if I knockwood, if
I'm lucky enough, can I still be affecting people at
ninety eight? I mean, I got I know, it's frustrating.
My kids don't listen to me, my wife doesn't listen
to me, my husband doesn't.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Listen to me.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I did this, But then they'll realize that there's still
you can still put your message out there no matter
how old you are. And and and that's what I
take away from sister.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Jane enrage, engage, entertain, in form, and be a pain
in the ass to the globe. That's my goal every day.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
What do you want to do with Mike Carmen. I
want to be a pain in the ass to as
many people as I could see they'll remember tell the
figurative pain in the ass, of course, you know. It's
you just get you thinking a little bit. And that's
what we try to do for four hours here. Hopefully
you laugh along with us, because we do a lot
of that, certainly at the world at large, and added
each other. And for sister Jeane, I mean, that's that's
(10:22):
what you take from it. I mean, that's one hundred
and six years of affecting people on that campus, in
that community, and then globally. They used to talk about
how much fan mail she'd get. Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I mean obviously sports fans in that intersection, but when
you talk about people of faith and folks looking to
tap into that side of their existence, a man, everybody's
looking for answers in some way, shape or form. And
the other thing too, her Cubs are winning tonight, right,
Like I want to talk about a nice little message
a thing, and here the Cubs absolutely rolling over the
(10:55):
Brewers six nothing in the ninth inning.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Like we've not talked about this game tonight because we've
had the NFL dropping, we have the Dodgers drip, which
we'll get to. But I mean, remember she threw out
the first pitch in the Cubs game a couple of
years ago. You know, they gave her her own jacket,
and she's flipping the ball to somebody and you know,
big Cubs fan as well, And it's nice to see
here they are tonight with their biggest playoff win in
a while. They're gonna wind up forcing Game five back
(11:20):
in Milwaukee after this, what's gonna wind up being a
six to nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I still want to review that Kelly home run because
that was eventually called the foul ball because it was
down the left field line. Fortunately, at six nothing, it
doesn't look like that's gonna come into any kind of
circumstance here. But you know, it would have been a
nice little feather in the cap as a ground ball
to short finishes this one. I mean, she was born.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Just to think about this, sister Jean was born forty
years before Alaska and Hawaii became states.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't think there's any new fledge you can buy
that still don't recognize those forty years she was born.
She was born, okay, the same year, No, she was
she was born.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, probably came out, her parents held her, and then
the dad probably looked at the newspaper and said, wow,
you see this story. Apparently the White Sox through the
World Series.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
You believe that. I can't.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
That's unbelievable. They threw the World Series. I mean, I'm
just seeing it here. It's right here in the Chicago Tribune.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Twenty nine is thirty eight. I can't, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I was upset. I can't believe they lost to the Reds.
The Reds were terrible, man, but they threw the World's
in here. It is in black and white.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
On this dead all.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know what, I'm gonna go give Gene a bottle
or whatever it is. I'm gonna go down. She was
born when the White Sox threw the World Series in
nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
She is.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That is again. You say it all the time. That
is a hell of a run. Red Stockings with that victory. Yeah,
God speeded Sister Jean. Sister Jean, one hundred and six
years old. Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, live from the Fox
Sports Radio studios.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
We'll continue to outlook. The Cubs have one. They're flying
that W. Maybe they'll fly at jay Tonite for Gene.
Fly to J.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Fly the J for sister Jane. Make it a J.
Rip up one of those w's and make it into
a J. Make it a J for her. I hate
the Cubs. But coming up.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Next, we wanted to bring you that bit of breaking
news again. Rest in peace, Sister Jean, one hundred and six.
But coming up next, we break down the biggest play
in baseball all year, the final play of the Dodgers
Phillies game. Yes, Orion Kirkering is getting a lot of
blame for that play, but somebody else has to own
it too. That's next, right here, Jason and Mike Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Your selfish bastard.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Not wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
We got more football on the way, But oh boy,
the drama. The fallout from the Dodgers Phillies Game four
today at Dodger Stadium is absolutely immense.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
A game.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
The Dodgers walk away and win two to one after
a Phillies error with the bases loaded in two outs
in the bottom of the eleventh inning, allows the winning
run to score. And look for a Ryan Kirkering who
makes the error on a ground ball hit back to
which you're gonna hear coming up in a second. It's look,
(15:02):
you feel for the kid, obviously. You see the look
on his face walking off the field, and you feel
for him. You see Rob Thompson was able to grab
him and talk to him right after the game, and
and and and give him some words of encouragement and
tell him, hey, hang in there, and and and you know,
keep your chin up. But you could see walking off
like the look on his face was what what just happened?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
What just happened? Let me let me give you the
how he rose long time Philly no personality quote. I
don't care who you root for, but you can't find
Mets play by play how he rose? You're talking? Yeah, sorry, sorry,
I don't care who you root for, but if you
can't find an ounce of compassion for a Ryan Kirkering,
you are undoubtedly devoid of a soul.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, I mean, look like I say, Yankees lose, Phillies lose,
Mets win. That's that's like the Mets winning, I can
wear my winer again. No, but I kind of win.
That's where I kind of got to get my wings
now they don't. Yeah, no, no, right, I win, That's
what I win. But it's on to win for the Mets.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Don't win. It's a win for the Mats. I never win. No,
I don't know. I like that Ai of the the
Mets players welcoming everybody to can Kuon is the thanks
for coming, buddy, Sorry for that. Yeah, yeah, well I
don't think we actually have cameras on him just yet.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Won Soda is there. You could go down, and I
mean he's there for real. Wan Soto is there, You
go down? You know what, you can go get that
footage exclusive. He's the cantcuon Mare of tourism. But the
uh and we're here. The Yankees are over here, the
Phillies are over here. I'm staying with the Mets over here.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Dinner is at five, and then there's uh, there's a
there's a uh we had a Zazy top cover band.
The Sharp Dressed Men are playing at eight, and then
there's dancing on the beach.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
How many Sharp Dressed men cover bands do you think
there are? Probably a few, especially after the technown, But
I mean, do you think anybody uh licensed it so
they go and try to aggressively defend that territory. I
think there's a few there, there's a there's probably a
few with with the names off of the songs, you know.
(17:01):
I'm sure Legs with.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Like two g's is this easy top cover band. Yeah,
I'm sure Tumbling Dice is a Rolling Stones like that.
But the error by Arian Kirkering is just I look,
I'd love to be able to say something that hey,
it's not his fault, that this is something that something happened,
but it was just an awful decision made in the
(17:26):
moment and the team paid for it by losing the game. No,
he's not the only guy that deserves blame on this.
But here's the play by play call. This is the
Phillies Radio Network, which is actually kind of obvious it's
a Phillies radio network because here's the final call of
the final play, the.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
One swinging a broken back comebacker Cookering knocks it down,
picks it up, they hold to the back stop and
the season is over.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
The Dodgers rushing out past O'Ryan Kirkering, who stands with
his hands on his knees.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Beat over.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
That is a That is a Philadelphia call right there
the throat of the plate.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
The season is over. There's that pause. You think something
else goes through his brain.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
You think he turned his mic off and went black
and then turned his mic back on this.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I think it's over.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, season is over, little murder, she wrote, except to
actually turn the mic off. Yeah, someone pulled the plug out.
Whoever had the master control for all the mics to
make sure it went silent? Man?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, I will tell you.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Look it's and this is the thing, right, Two big
takeaways from this play. We we mentioned this a lot.
Wed you should talk about the Dodgers in fielding, but like,
I feel like that's become much more of a hallmark
of sports the last couple of years. And home Wall
harmark of baseball is that, boy, there's some really bad
fundamental plays, mainly by the Yankees, but there's a lot
(18:53):
of bad fundamental plays that teams make, and there's really
no excuse for him because it's it's it's miss takes
that you're unprepared for. Right now, you talk about this
for an infielder, Hey, when an infielder makes a mistake.
He's got to know when the ball is hit to me,
where am I going. Right, the ball is hit sharply,
I can turn to the ball is not hit sharply,
(19:14):
I got to try to go home. You know these things.
It's the same thing for a pitcher. If the ball
is hit to me, what am I going to do?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
If the ball is hit slowly to me and all
I could do is shovel the ball to the plate. Great,
if not, I gotta go to first because knowing that
Paz is the batter, he doesn't run great, But Kim
is one of the fastest runners in Major League Baseball,
maybe the second fastest. The two fastest guys in baseball
right there on the left side of the infield, Trey
Turner and Kim. You know, he's the guy coming from
(19:43):
third that he is breaking when the ball hits the bat.
So you have to know that I can't make this
play at home. I have to go to first. And
the ball was hit sharply enough to know he's got
everything in front of him. Now I saw exactly what
he did. Right, He's thinking Paz is running and he's
out of my frame a vision, right, So I don't
see Paz, but I see the plate, and I see
(20:05):
that I'm forty five feet from the plate, So that's
where I'm gonna try to make this play at because
I don't see the run. I don't see him in
my peripheral vision yet, which if he did, he probably
would have turned thrown to first base and they would
have gotten Paz.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Ont they would have got It would have been a
bit of a closer.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Play, but Paz probably by a step at step and
a half, they would have got him out by And
we go on to play the twelve inning. But because
he doesn't see Pahes, but he also doesn't see the
runner coming up and the play is in front of me,
I'm gonna go home. And that's an absolute worst thing
you can do, because the play clearly is the first
base and you see when you see the overhead shot
(20:41):
of the of the Phillies infield, they all put their
gloves on their head like, oh my goodness, what's going on?
Like Bryce Harper is standing at first base like oh no,
oh no, and you knew right away, but I'm sorry.
It's awful for the kid, and down again, it's something
he's gonna think about all the time going. But that's
a decision. You have to make that play. And the
Phillies all to a man after the game, they all
(21:04):
gave support for him. But like, but when Bryce Harper said,
you're gonna talk to Ryan tonight, and he said, Tonight's
probably not the night for that. I'll talk to him tomorrow, Like,
you know, because in the end, it's okay, you know,
I still love him. He's my team. Man, I'm gonna
support him. But boy, it's really hard. I can't talk
to him right now because that was the play to make.
And even as a pitcher, you have to know that's
the play to make. And you got gotta go to
(21:24):
first base. It's hit sharply at you, it's in front
of you. You're picking it up right away, and he
makes an it's an off balance throw to the plate.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
That's not even close. No, that's it. And you've got
all all of this coming together. Of like, obviously we
get the view from above, so we get the full
full of it. It's not in the moment. We're not
reacting to the ball and not fielding it cleanly to
where your levels are up a whole whole other notch.
Plus the crowd, like there's a lot going on swirling
(21:54):
in his head. But you're a professional, and this is
part of the job. Real Mudo does him no favors, no,
because that's the other part that's that I think is
the the thing that does doesn't help. No, it gets
him partially off the hook.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You know, And no one's talked about that, But that's
okay because we're the ones to do it because we
talk baseball. Is that you see that, you know on
Fox every whe else they're showing you. Yet real Muto's
telling him go to first base. He comes out with
the point, go to first, go to first, right, which
is the right thing to do, but which is the
right play, But real Muto is not ready if he
wants to come home, not that it and maybe.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
He's still going and covering the plate right right.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You still need to say go to or you need
to yell first. But you don't know what's gonna happen,
if he's gonna kick the ball something. And what real
Muto's got to do is he's got to go step
on the base, step on home plate and stretch like
a first base in case this is where he wants
to go with the ball because you don't know how
the play is.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Going to go.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
You can think, Okay, I'm thinking go to first base,
but maybe he's not thinking that and he wants to
go home. So real Muto should be with his with
his right foot on the front of the plate, reaching forward,
throw me the ball so I can kind of step
like a first baseman, because if he does that and
the throw is on target, they still probably get Kim
out of the plate. That instead, he's got his left
(23:12):
foot on the back part of the plate. He's not
ready for the throw. He's pointing to first and the
wild throw. I don't know they would have got it anyway,
but he couldn't really give a great effort for it
because he would have run into Kim, who was who
was crossing home plate at the same time, right, So
like that's something where I'm like, boy, kimsh I mean,
I don't know if he was going to run into him,
but that's like a sliding play and like that that
(23:33):
wasn't real crazy with how he was trying to get
a car, but but like that's where you know that
that's where the Dodgers got bailed a little bit on that,
but still real Muto doesn't do anything to get in
position to make the play. Like, it's great that you
want to tell him where to go with the ball,
but do your job, but not able.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
He's going to field the ball, so he's not looking
to where you're pointing, and that crowd's enough to where
he's probably Well if you can, I think at that
point you can yell first, first, first, and you can
kind of hear that if you're yell I mean, he's
done that of his career. I hope that he can
hear it. But again we're talking about that the heat
of the moment. You want to start singing, go ahead,
you can do it like her dud dud damn.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
That.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But all all of that to say, like, there's a
lot going on. So not setting yourself up if he
comes up gunning, you've done everybody in disservice. Yeah. So yes,
you're pointing to first, but there's no guarantee he saw
him at all in the in that moment trying to
pick the ball up because he's startled right out in
the comebacker.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, I mean part of that human nature first, first, first,
But the other part is I can yell that, and
I can still pipe stand target and give me the
throw instead of I'm just standing you know, Debt, I'm
dead legged at the plate, just standing there like okay,
I'm just oh, now here's a throw and I have
to leap for it.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I know.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Again, I don't think he would have gotten it. But
if he's standing on the plate with a target, maybe
Kirkering calms himself a little bit and throws it. Because
he throws it like he takes a step to the
left and he tries to it's it's a step was broken.
He takes it, he takes a step to the left
and picks it up, and he's got a real open
throwing stance. And this is why the ball just sails
(25:16):
off far to the right like he's not even I
get it up, make up, make the smart play.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But he's completely panicked at that point. And just remember,
jump to the left and then a step to the right,
to jump to left and a step to the right. Okay,
I got it, got it. Put your hands on your head, right,
it was it's stepped. It's just a jump to the
it's just a step to Okay. I told your knees
in tight, so.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I mean that that was I mean, I'll understand that
that was a that was a bad part of the
play too, that the Phillies failed at that part of
it as well.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, no, the execution failed all along. And obviously we
get the We had the benefit of camera angle two,
which shows you pa has is you've got plenty of
time to make the turn and make a good throw,
and you got him by a step or two because
he's not moving down the line. Particularly he was when
he was picking up the ball. Paz was a little
(26:04):
a tiny bit more than halfway up. Like I said,
it would have been. It would have been a step
step and a half.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
But it would It's not gonna be oh replay, No,
it would have been he's out, We're going to the
twelfth thing. Yeah, that's what it would have been, and
that's the way it should have been. But again again
you feel bad for the guy, but you still this
is it's fun four of the NLDS.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Right, you're on stuff you girls when you were coaching softball, right, hey,
what do you do with the ball this situation? What
do you do with the ball? This situation? It's you
drilled this repeatedly, and this, I guess kind of goes
back to some of the fundamentals that we talk about
in all sports. Yeah, right, football, they've legislated it out
because they take extra days off into training cam shorter
(26:43):
and shorter. But well, when we get to baseball, there's
talk of, you know, the the wheel that the the
Dodgers pulled off. You practice that. Now, those Mookie Betts
with a great idea. He just had a good idea. Hey,
wheel run on a wheel. It's like it's like Ocean's
thirteen and we're going through ideas of how to solve this.
What what what gimmick can we run? It's like a cartwheel?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah, and that would be good. Yeah, we can do that,
you know.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
And and you know, and the funny thing is you
say this is that like there were a cup Because
when I when I coach, right co coaching you sports,
like you know that phrase, he's your favorite coach's favorite
coach phrase.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That wasn't me.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Not me.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I was not someone that know and and and it.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Was a point where I always would make it a case, Okay,
if bases are loaded and I would see who was playing,
I said, okay, Marlowe, if it's hit hard to you, okay,
go home. All right if it's if if it's it
hard to you, you know, go home. If not, try
to get the out at second, and and well you know,
we'll live to fight another day, whether it's one out,
runners at first and third, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
But I would always before every.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Time, and parents would say to me, they would say,
some parents would go, you know, sometimes go like my kid,
does my my kid know that? I go, does your
kid know that?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
I go?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I'm just I'm just reinforcing that this is the play
because lots of things happen, and lots of things happen
in different plays, and and and and you'll just reinforce
their okay, okay, and then they would get it. And
then after I have parents go to me go, oh,
my my daughter said, she really likes when you do
that because it gets her understanding the play to make
and everything else. Because I'm like, I'm not saying it
like I'm mad at you.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Sometimes I gotta project. I gotta say, hey, Marlow, if
it's hit sharp to you, go home. If it's slow,
get the out at second. And it sounds like I'm yellow,
but that's what I get. But I'm mad. I'm just
telling you this is what And I go around the infield. Hey,
if it's back to you, we're gonna do this. Right,
if it's back to you, we're gonna do this. Back
to you, We're gonna do this. And and I wouldn't
even care if the other team heard me, Like I
would go out and say, Okay, if someone who was
(28:36):
up was gonna bunt, I would say, hey, Catherine, if
you feel the bunt, go to first. Okay, you feel
the bunt, go to first, Deborah. If you get the bunt,
you can look to third. Right, look, you can look
the third. And I don't care if if the other
team knows, because like you gotta think the other time
about oh is zeros you ro?
Speaker 4 (28:53):
You know?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I hate punting. I hate punting. Okay, I just want
to make sure that practice defense plays like anybody ever.
Just to tick you off, there.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Were other There were a couple of coaches that liked
it because that was their strategy was bunted.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh no, I mean girls that you no, no, no,
no code red And they just.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Don't know anything, no, no, no. They would bunt because
they believe that is a strategy. And like and parents
would say, hey, like, do you think the coach is
going to pick up on that time, I say, no,
this is where I want them to go with the ball.
Like when the balls hit on the ground, the runner
is going to go right. I mean, I trust that,
you know. It's not like the runner at second doesn't
know what she's doing. She's gonna go. So this is
(29:36):
what we're doing. And I want them to know what
we're doing, because the last thing I want is a
ball to hit the ground and we're looking around, go
what do we do? Hey, if it's done this, it's
done has done this. And I know not a lot
of coaches do, but I'm like, okay, And and I
gotta say my team didn't make a lot of errors.
We were one of those teams where you were not
gonna you were not going to beat us with us
making a bad play.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
We were going to make the plays that bench coach,
I can manage the Yankees right now. Eight seven, seven
ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Exit out about a Fresca Exit swollen down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike harmon Time How
to find out what's trending in the wide world of
sports with someone who won a lot of money tonight
because she had kirkering on an error in the eleventh
inning walk off to bet the Dodgers win.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
It's very very specific.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
No, no, no, I definitely wish I would have made
a lot of money, you know I did.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
For Week five, I thought my upset.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
I picked my upset that was going to be the
Giants to beat the New Orleans Saints because I was like,
I'm on the Jackson Dart high.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
And then they lose, Yeah to the Saints.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yeah, three bumbles, all lost, one returns for a touchdown,
and then here they are kicking the Eagles.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
Ass, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
You guys are making me sound dumb when clearly I
was right.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
No, you were clearly you were not nearly as right
as Alex Tyshirt, who told us last night that he
doesn't even know sports, doesn't know the city the Giants playing,
but he said the Giants are gonna win by fourteen.
And now he's got his own segment on the show.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Tomorrow, which is your fault.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
It is nobody else's but yours, your fault.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
That my fault.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
Very very very true, very true.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Giants defeated the Eagles, really dominated them from start to finish,
thirty four to seventeen was the final score. Jackson Dart
on the opening drive had a rushing touchdown. He ended
with one hundred and ninety five yards in the air
and a touchdown, plus thirteen carries for fifty eight yards,
and that rushing touchdown did that he did in the
opening drive. Camp Scataboo ended with the hat trick nineteen
(31:28):
carries for ninety eight yards and three touchdowns. But it
really was a rough second half for Philadelphia. They were
shut out Jalen Hurts through an interception. AJ Dillon lost
a fumble. Hurts ended twenty four thirty three, two hundred
and eighty three yards, a touchdown and that interception. The
final baseball game has wrapped up and the Cubs have
forced a game five after shutting out the Brewers six
(31:49):
to zero in the NLDS. That Game five is going
to be on Saturday in Milwaukee. Game five tomorrow between
the Mariners and the Tigers. Don't forget that one. Whoever
wins between the Cubs and the Brewers on Saturday is
going to face the Dodgers. The Dodgers survived two to
one an eleven innings on an error from Philly's pitcher
or Ryan Kirkering.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
They advance to the championship series.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
With the bases loaded, Andy pat Has hits a ball
right back to Kirkering, who mishandles it. Instead of throwing
it to first base, he overthrows it to home plate.
Hayesan Kim scores the winning run and that is how
it ends. At news out of college sports, Loyola University
Chicago announced that sister Jean de Laura Schmid passed has
(32:31):
passed away today at the age of one hundred and
six years old. Beloved by the men's basketball team and
the community. But one hundred and six, what a great life.
We check in on hockey. Couple games still going on
right now. The Canucks are all over the Flames. It's
four zero late in the third period. Also late in
the third period between the Golden Knights and the Shark.
Sharks are up three to two and the Cracking are
(32:53):
up on the Ducks three to one.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Back to you guys, thanks a bunch, Yes, Jason Spith
Mike Harmon Love from the Fox Sports Radios two. We'll
have more baseball on the way. Because there's a dark
side for the Dodgers. We have to talk about that.
We have not talked about until this point. But you
know me, I'm about solving problems, right.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
I can solve all of the Eagles problems with one
move on one move, and I'm pretty sure they could
do it.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I'm pretty sure they could do it.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
One thing, one more thing and not like and it
doesn't involve trading for a player or benching somebody trading, firing, Nope, nope,
no trade, no fire, one move, solve all their problems.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Camp Fire, You're gonna kill the Eagle. It's coming whoa eagerly?
It's coming up next right here, Jason and Mike.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
The Giants in an upset that only Alex Tyshert saw coming.
I mean him with the points plus seven and a half.
Come on, not as bold as Alex tight? Oh no, no,
who said on the show. Alex, who doesn't even know
the city the Giants are Eagles playing, said last night
(34:10):
Giants went by fourteen.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, wow, doesn't know?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Uh think about Jane Yeah, everybody on the Amazon panel
had it wrong.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
They all said Eagles.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
They all said, and you said, and you said giants
by fourteen, not just giants. Wait, you said giants by fourteen.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Fashion.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
And as a result, Tyscher gets his own segment on
the show tomorrow night because I made a bad deal.
We'll get into that. We'll get into that. But I
want to solve the Eagles problems, because the Eagles in
three days have gone from everything is fine to we
have real problems. Right.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
What do I say?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Eagles one foot about to cross the finish line, one
foot on the banana peel. That's Philadelphia Sports. That's the Eagles,
especially yea ch all times they have problem. I thought
after the game against the the the Broncos, it's a
good time to reset.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Right. It was a good loss.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
I I ever say this about losses, but for a
team when when you're undefeated you lose your first game. Okay,
now you can address the big elephants in the room.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I still wish they had gotten the w by Hurts
chasing down his hail Mary that bounced off somebody. I
threw it.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I caught it, all right, dude, I am mister perfect right,
you would address everything. You'd address the fact that Aj
Brown and DeVante Smith want the football more. You'd be
able to address the fact that we have issues in
Saquon Barkley is not going to run to our rescue
like he did a year ago. He's not the same
guy because he's coming off of four hundred touches. Losing
a game forces you to have that introspection on a
(35:33):
short week to get back out and play best thing
for the Eagles instead, now they have real problems. They
have no offensive identity. I don't know if they're gonna
be a team that throws the football, They're gonna still
try to run the football.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I don't know who.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
They are, and I don't know that they know who
they are, and I don't know that they know how
to solve it. That's where that's the again. The banana
peel is so big, it's so slippery, and they find
a way to step on that. Man, it's like Sideshow
Bob step on the rakes. They finally just that banana peel.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
They have problems, but I have a solution. I will
send you to heaven.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Before I send you to hell, one, can you please
perform the entire act of HMS pinaform, we sail the
ocean blue. Uh. I have a solution, and I know
I know what they need to do. Okay, we can
do this. It's not it's not fire. Well, it's not.
It's not getting a new player. No, it's not releasing
a player. Although AJ Brown I think his time is
(36:30):
limited with the Eagles, it's time we talked about it.
I think by the dead deadline in a couple of weeks,
there's gonna be a new I think they need a
new mix on offense. Should we sing a couple of
bars from shaking up the Great Zendaia vehicle from the
US channel. I think that the Eagles are gonna wind
up saying we need a new mix offensively. The Aj
Brown thing is just going to be too difficult to work,
(36:51):
and they will make a move for another wide receiver
and trade out AJ Brown. I mean, look, DeVante Smith
is really talented. He's fine, he has big games, But
it seems like that's the focal point of this. So
I said it about a week and a half ago.
I don't think Aj Brown's gonna be on the team
by the deadline. The Eagles are not gonna say, yeah,
we're gonna solve it like we did last year. No,
(37:11):
they went along with it last year and they solved
it because it was a problem that came along late
in the season.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
He's reading a book on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Okay, we managed it all the way through. Now you're
talking about these issues in the beginning of October. Okay,
you're not gonna just massage this all the way through.
So yeah, they're gonna make a big move for a
different playmaker that will fit in with what they do,
and AJ Brown's gonna go and it's gonna be a
new day in Philadelphia. Right, That's how they solve it.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Well, the problem is beyond that, is that where you
sit right now, however long. I mean, you got three
weeks of the deadline right early November, that you've got
an offense that you've given up your identity. Right, you
came out and you went smash model football your first
two plays, right, Giants commit the latest in the We
(37:54):
didn't meet the landing zone. You got over a thousand
square yards. Okay, it's a big wide swath of land
for the ball to land and fail start at the
forty first two plays over thirty yards rushing for Saquon Barkley.
He finished with fewer than sixty for the game. Yeah, right,
just and his touches were limited once again. And then
(38:16):
you get behind in the stick. You're not a team
to come from behind. No, no, And we watched that
time and again and Jalen hurts he's taken his incoming
And that was part of the off season narrative even
though they won. Was it all because of the tush push?
Was it all because of everybody else? Could he be
the guy? Well when he's had to be the guy
because he had DeVante Smith a couple of times wide
open missed him. Aj Brown, I mean you had that
(38:39):
play on the sideline and you're talking about effort after
interceptions that like like we talked about with Chris Jones
the other day, he had to raise his hand and
wear it for the Chiefs. Same thing here. Like, you
got a lot of issues. I think all goes back
to your offensive line is not as good. But right
now you don't have the cohesion that you had because
you climb the mountain and now everybody's looking out for
(39:01):
their individual spaces. So well, that's my prediction, right Pain's
that's not my solving the problem. No, here's my solving
the problem. It's very easy. Yeah, it's very simple. Hire
Jerry new Heiseel. You hide a wizard. You hire Jerry
new Heeisel.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
He comes in and remakes the offense, and they carry
him off the field after the game, just like they
did when they beat Penn State. You want to the
new head coach, Jerry new Heisel, Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator.
That's the new Flash Gordon quarterback, New York Jets. Jerry
new Heisel, coordinator offense, Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Still one of the finest scenes in cinematic history from
the nineteen eighty classic Flash Gordon.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
I mean you can't, you can't go wrong. I'm sorry, UCLA.
He became a legend at thirty three. Yes, but the
Eagles need him, Okay, can't.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Have them offensives decided that Kevin Patulo has done Huyeah
just that fast.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Say this is what's happening. Jerry new Heisel's coming in.
That's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
By the way, I want to give a little bit
of love to Tim Skipper, who is actually the head
coach of your USA.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Doesn't matter, Jerry new Heiseel doesn't matter. Fair haired boy
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
No bring in.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Nobody knows any of those other people. Mike, it's Jerry
new Heisel. He started mean they carried him off the field.
Dad beat Penn State. They're still carrying him.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
It's it's like in eighty five when the Bears won
and they carried Buddy Ryan off the field.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Carry Jerry new Heidelood. James Franklin sad memes should have
come up alongside Michael Jordan after that loss, standing in
the middle of the field. Eagles won't lose a game.
Come on that. That is bold. You know I usually
say hate to say I told you so. I really do.

(00:58):
we'll get back into the Dodgers, their incredible win over
the Phillies and that final play that we need to
get into a deep breakdown of. However, uh, this news
just coming into the studio. You heard Monci Bolangos mentioned
a couple seconds ago It was just last week that
we brought you the news that Sister Jean Loyoli University
(01:20):
of Chicago's Jean de Laura Schmidt retiring from her duties
that she's had at Loyola since she was there in
nineteen ninety one at the age of one oh six.
And it has been confirmed by Sham's Charania Loyola as
well that Sister Jean has passed away at the age
of one hundred and six. One hundred and six man
(01:41):
Katholic nun campus minister, the official chaplain of the Ramblers
men's basketball team. Uh, you know, you say it all
the time. You say, well, that was a good run.
That is an unbelievable run. One hundred and six year run.
A March Madness legend. She became a March Madness legend
in her nineties. Yeah, she became a March Madness legend.
(02:03):
She get out there and kut something today, damn it.
She started at Loyola in nineteen ninety one. Okay, just
think about this for a second, right, She started at
nineteen ninety one, when she was seventy one. That's when
she started, not just hey, i'm done and fits started,
I'm starting a new job at seventy one, when the
(02:25):
Wilford Brimley line from the Naturalist fellow people don't start
playing ball at your age, they retired. It's like, hey,
people don't start doing they retire. She started her new
job in nineteen nineteen, thirty four years ago and she
was seventy one years old, and the entire run that
she has from was starting when she was seventy one
(02:46):
all the way up until now. That that is an
unbelievable run.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
To have just an a monumental figure on that campus.
I know a lot of folks that have passed through
their undergrad into graduate work and omnipresent force I brought
out as a speaker and shake hands, kissed babies, raising
money for different things on campus, and and just a
positive figure for their community. You mentioned Wilfrid Brimley. You remember,
(03:13):
if you were born on January tenth, nineteen seventy five,
you're at the Wilfrid Brimley line from cocun because remember
he was very youthful. All that is to say, I
mean you got You're stuck with me for another twenty
years before I get to look for something else, because
that'll hit my seventiesh my god, what a hell of
a run and a positive figure and just like a
(03:37):
real live person mascot for a team. Just the fact
that she became a March Madness touchstone right away, right,
because you gotta go back to twenty eighteen, right is
when so so maybe what she in her late nineties
when when she first went Loyola Matt Loyla Mack. When
Loyola Chicago is on the big run, right, they be
inciting Miami to go to the final four, that that
(03:58):
big three from the top of the key to win
the game. And she burst onto the scene, burst onto
the scene when she was, you know, ninety six, ninety
seven years old, and it was whoa, this is the
chaplain and she she became her own cottage industry. She
made like right away, it was whoa, this is the
person who would give scouting reports to the basketball team
(04:19):
and did this for as long as she'd game speeches
and halftime prayers and all of those things. Yeah, but
just a reminder though in our sporting world, because me, look,
if it bleeds, it leads, right, it's journalism one oh
one and certainly lowercase jay when we talk about a
lot of the sports stories that we do, right, they
all had meaning to us. But you know, on the
(04:40):
grand scale, it's balls and strikes. But for Sister Gene,
it was something a positivity thing that people rallied around.
So it is good to know every once in a
while that we can still rally to something good. Now,
Barstool Sports has just put this up just to give
you a glimpse of sister g because really we just
saw her during the tournament, right, and indeed, Loyola to
(05:03):
win to become a sister Jean became. I remember when she.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Was going back and forth yeah with Jalen Rose's grandmother,
who was in her late nineties, and they were saying
it's over. Like the trash talk between the two of those.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I remember. I'm like, oh my god, I remember Jalen
Rose's grandma saying, Sister Jean, your run is over. It's over.
On Sunday.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It's like, oh my god, this is an excell at
WWE stuff. Okay, can you give me a shoot interview?
Like it's the eighties. I think this is I think
this is from this year's game where Loyola played Illinois.
All right, this Barsel Sports putting this up. This is
an excerpt from the prayer for the game against Illinois.
Right barstools got this. As we play the fighting a
(05:45):
lie and I, we asked for special help to overcome
this team and get a great win. We hope to
score early and make our opponents nervous. Okay, pretty much,
so that's good. We have a great opportunity to confert
rebounds as this team makes about fifty percent of its
layups and thirty percent of threes. Our defense can take
care of that.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I like that. God on me, God on three, one two,
three gone. It's just statistically in fact base, not you know,
inciting anything crazy. Just hey, here's the opportunity ahead of us.
You know, it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And when when the news came out that she was
retiring and we talked about it, it was late September.
I remember saying to myself, boy, I hope she's okay
and she just can't. You know, it's hard when you want,
oh six like I'm gonna still go to school every day. Ah,
I'm kind of done. I'm kind of I was hoping
that we're in an era most people don't want to
go to work in their twenties.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Man, that is true. Literally, I'm gonna say I'm not
saying go to work as in I have a job
that I have to go to. I'm just saying go
to work in general. I'm gonna work remotely. Yeah, No,
I'm gonna actually go into it. Okay. So I was
hoping that that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Obviously here you know, it was her, you know, not
not being able to and be and being at the
end of one hundred and six years old.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
The things you've seen, the things you've done, the people
you've encountered, and certainly the world wind global acclaim of
this last decade. I mean just I mean, that's a
hell level run to go out.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
You know, and and and the thing is right when
I think about Sister Gene, this is what I think about,
is that in life we spend time trying to figure
out we want to enjoy the good times, right, and
the good times are the last few years a little
bit harder to come by. Right. We are a much
more divided nation than we've ever been, and that's never
going anywhere. So trying to find your wins, you like
(07:27):
to say, find your wins, but try to find your wins,
Try to find the good times, and as your life
goes on there get you get to a point where
I think, you think, Okay, my best is behind me.
What do I have left ahead of me? Am I
looking forward to retiring? Do I still have something to
say right? Or am I done right? And I think
it's easy to say, you know what, I just want
(07:49):
to unplug and I want to and I want to
be done with stuff, and I want to just enjoy
the time I have doing whatever I want to do.
But my time of influence and my time that I'm
here where I'm effected other people's lives on a daily basis,
that's something that maybe I've had my chance, I've done
it and I'm moving on. And maybe it's whatever you
do for a living and how you deal with your family.
But the fact that that Sister Jean is someone that
(08:12):
again start, you know, affected people's lives for basically all
of one hundred and six years started what made her
famous in the early nineteen nineties, didn't really get crazy
famous until she was, you know, ninety seven, ninety eight
years old, and then affected more people than she ever
had in her life before. Because all of a sudden,
Sister Jean went viral, and it was look at what
(08:35):
at ninety eight? So so the big thing I come
away with is that don't ever think you're too old
to be able to affect life and affect people and
and and give them messages and get them on a
good path. Because clearly sister Gina showed you, whatever your
age is, you can still do that.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's the George Harrison line from Traveling Wilbury's when you're
old and gray, but if you still got something to say,
it's all right, right end of the line.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And I think about that when I think about her going.
She was in her late nineties, and this is when
she first became first hitted big, right, you hear it?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Like if I remember those guys were old, they were
in their forties. Yeah, ah, they were done. We've been
putting it. Unfortunately Roy passed. Otherwise you would have had
that tour. But think about it. I mean, Dyling's still
out at eighty. I mean you could still impact people
and and no matter what path you have in life,
you are arriving at that path at your own pace. Right.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
The life is a race. It's only with yourself, right.
The bos Lerman line from U sunscreen. But just to
think about how, hey, ninety eight, if I knockwood, if
I'm lucky enough, can I still be affecting people at
ninety eight? I mean, I got I know, it's frustrating.
My kids don't listen to me, my wife doesn't listen
to me, my husband doesn't.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Listen to me.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I did this, But then they'll realize that there's still
you can still put your message out there no matter
how old you are. And and and that's what I
take away from sister.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Jane enrage, engage, entertain, in form, and be a pain
in the ass to the globe. That's my goal every day.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
What do you want to do with Mike Carmen. I
want to be a pain in the ass to as
many people as I could see they'll remember tell the
figurative pain in the ass, of course, you know. It's
you just get you thinking a little bit. And that's
what we try to do for four hours here. Hopefully
you laugh along with us, because we do a lot
of that, certainly at the world at large, and added
each other. And for sister Jeane, I mean, that's that's
(10:22):
what you take from it. I mean, that's one hundred
and six years of affecting people on that campus, in
that community, and then globally. They used to talk about
how much fan mail she'd get. Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I mean obviously sports fans in that intersection, but when
you talk about people of faith and folks looking to
tap into that side of their existence, a man, everybody's
looking for answers in some way, shape or form. And
the other thing too, her Cubs are winning tonight, right,
Like I want to talk about a nice little message
a thing, and here the Cubs absolutely rolling over the
(10:55):
Brewers six nothing in the ninth inning.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Like we've not talked about this game tonight because we've
had the NFL dropping, we have the Dodgers drip, which
we'll get to. But I mean, remember she threw out
the first pitch in the Cubs game a couple of
years ago. You know, they gave her her own jacket,
and she's flipping the ball to somebody and you know,
big Cubs fan as well, And it's nice to see
here they are tonight with their biggest playoff win in
a while. They're gonna wind up forcing Game five back
(11:20):
in Milwaukee after this, what's gonna wind up being a
six to nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I still want to review that Kelly home run because
that was eventually called the foul ball because it was
down the left field line. Fortunately, at six nothing, it
doesn't look like that's gonna come into any kind of
circumstance here. But you know, it would have been a
nice little feather in the cap as a ground ball
to short finishes this one. I mean, she was born.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Just to think about this, sister Jean was born forty
years before Alaska and Hawaii became states.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't think there's any new fledge you can buy
that still don't recognize those forty years she was born.
She was born, okay, the same year, No, she was
she was born.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, probably came out, her parents held her, and then
the dad probably looked at the newspaper and said, wow,
you see this story. Apparently the White Sox through the
World Series.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
You believe that. I can't.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
That's unbelievable. They threw the World Series. I mean, I'm
just seeing it here. It's right here in the Chicago Tribune.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Twenty nine is thirty eight. I can't, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I was upset. I can't believe they lost to the Reds.
The Reds were terrible, man, but they threw the World's
in here. It is in black and white.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
On this dead all.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know what, I'm gonna go give Gene a bottle
or whatever it is. I'm gonna go down. She was
born when the White Sox threw the World Series in
nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
She is.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That is again. You say it all the time. That
is a hell of a run. Red Stockings with that victory. Yeah,
God speeded Sister Jean. Sister Jean, one hundred and six
years old. Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, live from the Fox
Sports Radio studios.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
We'll continue to outlook. The Cubs have one. They're flying
that W. Maybe they'll fly at jay Tonite for Gene.
Fly to J.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Fly the J for sister Jane. Make it a J.
Rip up one of those w's and make it into
a J. Make it a J for her. I hate
the Cubs. But coming up.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Next, we wanted to bring you that bit of breaking
news again. Rest in peace, Sister Jean, one hundred and six.
But coming up next, we break down the biggest play
in baseball all year, the final play of the Dodgers
Phillies game. Yes, Orion Kirkering is getting a lot of
blame for that play, but somebody else has to own
it too. That's next, right here, Jason and Mike Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Your selfish bastard.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Not wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
We got more football on the way, But oh boy,
the drama. The fallout from the Dodgers Phillies Game four
today at Dodger Stadium is absolutely immense.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
A game.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
The Dodgers walk away and win two to one after
a Phillies error with the bases loaded in two outs
in the bottom of the eleventh inning, allows the winning
run to score. And look for a Ryan Kirkering who
makes the error on a ground ball hit back to
which you're gonna hear coming up in a second. It's look,
(15:02):
you feel for the kid, obviously. You see the look
on his face walking off the field, and you feel
for him. You see Rob Thompson was able to grab
him and talk to him right after the game, and
and and and give him some words of encouragement and
tell him, hey, hang in there, and and and you know,
keep your chin up. But you could see walking off
like the look on his face was what what just happened?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
What just happened? Let me let me give you the
how he rose long time Philly no personality quote. I
don't care who you root for, but you can't find
Mets play by play how he rose? You're talking? Yeah, sorry, sorry,
I don't care who you root for, but if you
can't find an ounce of compassion for a Ryan Kirkering,
you are undoubtedly devoid of a soul.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, I mean, look like I say, Yankees lose, Phillies lose,
Mets win. That's that's like the Mets winning, I can
wear my winer again. No, but I kind of win.
That's where I kind of got to get my wings
now they don't. Yeah, no, no, right, I win, That's
what I win. But it's on to win for the Mets.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Don't win. It's a win for the Mats. I never win. No,
I don't know. I like that Ai of the the
Mets players welcoming everybody to can Kuon is the thanks
for coming, buddy, Sorry for that. Yeah, yeah, well I
don't think we actually have cameras on him just yet.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Won Soda is there. You could go down, and I
mean he's there for real. Wan Soto is there, You
go down? You know what, you can go get that
footage exclusive. He's the cantcuon Mare of tourism. But the
uh and we're here. The Yankees are over here, the
Phillies are over here. I'm staying with the Mets over here.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Dinner is at five, and then there's uh, there's a
there's a uh we had a Zazy top cover band.
The Sharp Dressed Men are playing at eight, and then
there's dancing on the beach.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
How many Sharp Dressed men cover bands do you think
there are? Probably a few, especially after the technown, But
I mean, do you think anybody uh licensed it so
they go and try to aggressively defend that territory. I
think there's a few there, there's a there's probably a
few with with the names off of the songs, you know.
(17:01):
I'm sure Legs with.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Like two g's is this easy top cover band. Yeah,
I'm sure Tumbling Dice is a Rolling Stones like that.
But the error by Arian Kirkering is just I look,
I'd love to be able to say something that hey,
it's not his fault, that this is something that something happened,
but it was just an awful decision made in the
(17:26):
moment and the team paid for it by losing the game. No,
he's not the only guy that deserves blame on this.
But here's the play by play call. This is the
Phillies Radio Network, which is actually kind of obvious it's
a Phillies radio network because here's the final call of
the final play, the.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
One swinging a broken back comebacker Cookering knocks it down,
picks it up, they hold to the back stop and
the season is over.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
The Dodgers rushing out past O'Ryan Kirkering, who stands with
his hands on his knees.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Beat over.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
That is a That is a Philadelphia call right there
the throat of the plate.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
The season is over. There's that pause. You think something
else goes through his brain.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
You think he turned his mic off and went black
and then turned his mic back on this.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I think it's over.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, season is over, little murder, she wrote, except to
actually turn the mic off. Yeah, someone pulled the plug out.
Whoever had the master control for all the mics to
make sure it went silent? Man?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, I will tell you.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Look it's and this is the thing, right, Two big
takeaways from this play. We we mentioned this a lot.
Wed you should talk about the Dodgers in fielding, but like,
I feel like that's become much more of a hallmark
of sports the last couple of years. And home Wall
harmark of baseball is that, boy, there's some really bad
fundamental plays, mainly by the Yankees, but there's a lot
(18:53):
of bad fundamental plays that teams make, and there's really
no excuse for him because it's it's it's miss takes
that you're unprepared for. Right now, you talk about this
for an infielder, Hey, when an infielder makes a mistake.
He's got to know when the ball is hit to me,
where am I going. Right, the ball is hit sharply,
I can turn to the ball is not hit sharply,
(19:14):
I got to try to go home. You know these things.
It's the same thing for a pitcher. If the ball
is hit to me, what am I going to do?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
If the ball is hit slowly to me and all
I could do is shovel the ball to the plate. Great,
if not, I gotta go to first because knowing that
Paz is the batter, he doesn't run great, But Kim
is one of the fastest runners in Major League Baseball,
maybe the second fastest. The two fastest guys in baseball
right there on the left side of the infield, Trey
Turner and Kim. You know, he's the guy coming from
(19:43):
third that he is breaking when the ball hits the bat.
So you have to know that I can't make this
play at home. I have to go to first. And
the ball was hit sharply enough to know he's got
everything in front of him. Now I saw exactly what
he did. Right, He's thinking Paz is running and he's
out of my frame a vision, right, So I don't
see Paz, but I see the plate, and I see
(20:05):
that I'm forty five feet from the plate, So that's
where I'm gonna try to make this play at because
I don't see the run. I don't see him in
my peripheral vision yet, which if he did, he probably
would have turned thrown to first base and they would
have gotten Paz.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Ont they would have got It would have been a
bit of a closer.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Play, but Paz probably by a step at step and
a half, they would have got him out by And
we go on to play the twelve inning. But because
he doesn't see Pahes, but he also doesn't see the
runner coming up and the play is in front of me,
I'm gonna go home. And that's an absolute worst thing
you can do, because the play clearly is the first
base and you see when you see the overhead shot
(20:41):
of the of the Phillies infield, they all put their
gloves on their head like, oh my goodness, what's going on?
Like Bryce Harper is standing at first base like oh no,
oh no, and you knew right away, but I'm sorry.
It's awful for the kid, and down again, it's something
he's gonna think about all the time going. But that's
a decision. You have to make that play. And the
Phillies all to a man after the game, they all
(21:04):
gave support for him. But like, but when Bryce Harper said,
you're gonna talk to Ryan tonight, and he said, Tonight's
probably not the night for that. I'll talk to him tomorrow, Like,
you know, because in the end, it's okay, you know,
I still love him. He's my team. Man, I'm gonna
support him. But boy, it's really hard. I can't talk
to him right now because that was the play to make.
And even as a pitcher, you have to know that's
the play to make. And you got gotta go to
(21:24):
first base. It's hit sharply at you, it's in front
of you. You're picking it up right away, and he
makes an it's an off balance throw to the plate.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
That's not even close. No, that's it. And you've got
all all of this coming together. Of like, obviously we
get the view from above, so we get the full
full of it. It's not in the moment. We're not
reacting to the ball and not fielding it cleanly to
where your levels are up a whole whole other notch.
Plus the crowd, like there's a lot going on swirling
(21:54):
in his head. But you're a professional, and this is
part of the job. Real Mudo does him no favors, no,
because that's the other part that's that I think is
the the thing that does doesn't help. No, it gets
him partially off the hook.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You know, And no one's talked about that, But that's
okay because we're the ones to do it because we
talk baseball. Is that you see that, you know on
Fox every whe else they're showing you. Yet real Muto's
telling him go to first base. He comes out with
the point, go to first, go to first, right, which
is the right thing to do, but which is the
right play, But real Muto is not ready if he
wants to come home, not that it and maybe.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
He's still going and covering the plate right right.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You still need to say go to or you need
to yell first. But you don't know what's gonna happen,
if he's gonna kick the ball something. And what real
Muto's got to do is he's got to go step
on the base, step on home plate and stretch like
a first base in case this is where he wants
to go with the ball because you don't know how
the play is.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Going to go.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
You can think, Okay, I'm thinking go to first base,
but maybe he's not thinking that and he wants to
go home. So real Muto should be with his with
his right foot on the front of the plate, reaching forward,
throw me the ball so I can kind of step
like a first baseman, because if he does that and
the throw is on target, they still probably get Kim
out of the plate. That instead, he's got his left
(23:12):
foot on the back part of the plate. He's not
ready for the throw. He's pointing to first and the
wild throw. I don't know they would have got it anyway,
but he couldn't really give a great effort for it
because he would have run into Kim, who was who
was crossing home plate at the same time, right, So
like that's something where I'm like, boy, kimsh I mean,
I don't know if he was going to run into him,
but that's like a sliding play and like that that
(23:33):
wasn't real crazy with how he was trying to get
a car, but but like that's where you know that
that's where the Dodgers got bailed a little bit on that,
but still real Muto doesn't do anything to get in
position to make the play. Like, it's great that you
want to tell him where to go with the ball,
but do your job, but not able.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
He's going to field the ball, so he's not looking
to where you're pointing, and that crowd's enough to where
he's probably Well if you can, I think at that
point you can yell first, first, first, and you can
kind of hear that if you're yell I mean, he's
done that of his career. I hope that he can
hear it. But again we're talking about that the heat
of the moment. You want to start singing, go ahead,
you can do it like her dud dud damn.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
That.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But all all of that to say, like, there's a
lot going on. So not setting yourself up if he
comes up gunning, you've done everybody in disservice. Yeah. So yes,
you're pointing to first, but there's no guarantee he saw
him at all in the in that moment trying to
pick the ball up because he's startled right out in
the comebacker.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, I mean part of that human nature first, first, first,
But the other part is I can yell that, and
I can still pipe stand target and give me the
throw instead of I'm just standing you know, Debt, I'm
dead legged at the plate, just standing there like okay,
I'm just oh, now here's a throw and I have
to leap for it.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I know.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Again, I don't think he would have gotten it. But
if he's standing on the plate with a target, maybe
Kirkering calms himself a little bit and throws it. Because
he throws it like he takes a step to the
left and he tries to it's it's a step was broken.
He takes it, he takes a step to the left
and picks it up, and he's got a real open
throwing stance. And this is why the ball just sails
(25:16):
off far to the right like he's not even I
get it up, make up, make the smart play.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But he's completely panicked at that point. And just remember,
jump to the left and then a step to the right,
to jump to left and a step to the right. Okay,
I got it, got it. Put your hands on your head, right,
it was it's stepped. It's just a jump to the
it's just a step to Okay. I told your knees
in tight, so.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I mean that that was I mean, I'll understand that
that was a that was a bad part of the
play too, that the Phillies failed at that part of
it as well.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, no, the execution failed all along. And obviously we
get the We had the benefit of camera angle two,
which shows you pa has is you've got plenty of
time to make the turn and make a good throw,
and you got him by a step or two because
he's not moving down the line. Particularly he was when
he was picking up the ball. Paz was a little
(26:04):
a tiny bit more than halfway up. Like I said,
it would have been. It would have been a step
step and a half.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
But it would It's not gonna be oh replay, No,
it would have been he's out, We're going to the
twelfth thing. Yeah, that's what it would have been, and
that's the way it should have been. But again again
you feel bad for the guy, but you still this
is it's fun four of the NLDS.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Right, you're on stuff you girls when you were coaching softball, right, hey,
what do you do with the ball this situation? What
do you do with the ball? This situation? It's you
drilled this repeatedly, and this, I guess kind of goes
back to some of the fundamentals that we talk about
in all sports. Yeah, right, football, they've legislated it out
because they take extra days off into training cam shorter
(26:43):
and shorter. But well, when we get to baseball, there's
talk of, you know, the the wheel that the the
Dodgers pulled off. You practice that. Now, those Mookie Betts
with a great idea. He just had a good idea. Hey,
wheel run on a wheel. It's like it's like Ocean's
thirteen and we're going through ideas of how to solve this.
What what what gimmick can we run? It's like a cartwheel?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah, and that would be good. Yeah, we can do that,
you know.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
And and you know, and the funny thing is you
say this is that like there were a cup Because
when I when I coach, right co coaching you sports,
like you know that phrase, he's your favorite coach's favorite
coach phrase.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That wasn't me.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Not me.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I was not someone that know and and and it.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Was a point where I always would make it a case, Okay,
if bases are loaded and I would see who was playing,
I said, okay, Marlowe, if it's hit hard to you, okay,
go home. All right if it's if if it's it
hard to you, you know, go home. If not, try
to get the out at second, and and well you know,
we'll live to fight another day, whether it's one out,
runners at first and third, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
But I would always before every.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Time, and parents would say to me, they would say,
some parents would go, you know, sometimes go like my kid,
does my my kid know that? I go, does your
kid know that?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
I go?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I'm just I'm just reinforcing that this is the play
because lots of things happen, and lots of things happen
in different plays, and and and and you'll just reinforce
their okay, okay, and then they would get it. And
then after I have parents go to me go, oh,
my my daughter said, she really likes when you do
that because it gets her understanding the play to make
and everything else. Because I'm like, I'm not saying it
like I'm mad at you.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Sometimes I gotta project. I gotta say, hey, Marlow, if
it's hit sharp to you, go home. If it's slow,
get the out at second. And it sounds like I'm yellow,
but that's what I get. But I'm mad. I'm just
telling you this is what And I go around the infield. Hey,
if it's back to you, we're gonna do this. Right,
if it's back to you, we're gonna do this. Back
to you, We're gonna do this. And and I wouldn't
even care if the other team heard me, Like I
would go out and say, Okay, if someone who was
(28:36):
up was gonna bunt, I would say, hey, Catherine, if
you feel the bunt, go to first. Okay, you feel
the bunt, go to first, Deborah. If you get the bunt,
you can look to third. Right, look, you can look
the third. And I don't care if if the other
team knows, because like you gotta think the other time
about oh is zeros you ro?
Speaker 4 (28:53):
You know?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I hate punting. I hate punting. Okay, I just want
to make sure that practice defense plays like anybody ever.
Just to tick you off, there.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Were other There were a couple of coaches that liked
it because that was their strategy was bunted.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh no, I mean girls that you no, no, no,
no code red And they just.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Don't know anything, no, no, no. They would bunt because
they believe that is a strategy. And like and parents
would say, hey, like, do you think the coach is
going to pick up on that time, I say, no,
this is where I want them to go with the ball.
Like when the balls hit on the ground, the runner
is going to go right. I mean, I trust that,
you know. It's not like the runner at second doesn't
know what she's doing. She's gonna go. So this is
(29:36):
what we're doing. And I want them to know what
we're doing, because the last thing I want is a
ball to hit the ground and we're looking around, go
what do we do? Hey, if it's done this, it's
done has done this. And I know not a lot
of coaches do, but I'm like, okay, And and I
gotta say my team didn't make a lot of errors.
We were one of those teams where you were not
gonna you were not going to beat us with us
making a bad play.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
We were going to make the plays that bench coach,
I can manage the Yankees right now. Eight seven, seven
ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Exit out about a Fresca Exit swollen down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike harmon Time How
to find out what's trending in the wide world of
sports with someone who won a lot of money tonight
because she had kirkering on an error in the eleventh
inning walk off to bet the Dodgers win.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
It's very very specific.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
No, no, no, I definitely wish I would have made
a lot of money, you know I did.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
For Week five, I thought my upset.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
I picked my upset that was going to be the
Giants to beat the New Orleans Saints because I was like,
I'm on the Jackson Dart high.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
And then they lose, Yeah to the Saints.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yeah, three bumbles, all lost, one returns for a touchdown,
and then here they are kicking the Eagles.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
Ass, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
You guys are making me sound dumb when clearly I
was right.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
No, you were clearly you were not nearly as right
as Alex Tyshirt, who told us last night that he
doesn't even know sports, doesn't know the city the Giants playing,
but he said the Giants are gonna win by fourteen.
And now he's got his own segment on the show.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Tomorrow, which is your fault.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
It is nobody else's but yours, your fault.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
That my fault.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
Very very very true, very true.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Giants defeated the Eagles, really dominated them from start to finish,
thirty four to seventeen was the final score. Jackson Dart
on the opening drive had a rushing touchdown. He ended
with one hundred and ninety five yards in the air
and a touchdown, plus thirteen carries for fifty eight yards,
and that rushing touchdown did that he did in the
opening drive. Camp Scataboo ended with the hat trick nineteen
(31:28):
carries for ninety eight yards and three touchdowns. But it
really was a rough second half for Philadelphia. They were
shut out Jalen Hurts through an interception. AJ Dillon lost
a fumble. Hurts ended twenty four thirty three, two hundred
and eighty three yards, a touchdown and that interception. The
final baseball game has wrapped up and the Cubs have
forced a game five after shutting out the Brewers six
(31:49):
to zero in the NLDS. That Game five is going
to be on Saturday in Milwaukee. Game five tomorrow between
the Mariners and the Tigers. Don't forget that one. Whoever
wins between the Cubs and the Brewers on Saturday is
going to face the Dodgers. The Dodgers survived two to
one an eleven innings on an error from Philly's pitcher
or Ryan Kirkering.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
They advance to the championship series.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
With the bases loaded, Andy pat Has hits a ball
right back to Kirkering, who mishandles it. Instead of throwing
it to first base, he overthrows it to home plate.
Hayesan Kim scores the winning run and that is how
it ends. At news out of college sports, Loyola University
Chicago announced that sister Jean de Laura Schmid passed has
(32:31):
passed away today at the age of one hundred and
six years old. Beloved by the men's basketball team and
the community. But one hundred and six, what a great life.
We check in on hockey. Couple games still going on
right now. The Canucks are all over the Flames. It's
four zero late in the third period. Also late in
the third period between the Golden Knights and the Shark.
Sharks are up three to two and the Cracking are
(32:53):
up on the Ducks three to one.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Back to you guys, thanks a bunch, Yes, Jason Spith
Mike Harmon Love from the Fox Sports Radios two. We'll
have more baseball on the way. Because there's a dark
side for the Dodgers. We have to talk about that.
We have not talked about until this point. But you
know me, I'm about solving problems, right.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
I can solve all of the Eagles problems with one
move on one move, and I'm pretty sure they could
do it.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I'm pretty sure they could do it.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
One thing, one more thing and not like and it
doesn't involve trading for a player or benching somebody trading, firing, Nope, nope,
no trade, no fire, one move, solve all their problems.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Camp Fire, You're gonna kill the Eagle. It's coming whoa eagerly?
It's coming up next right here, Jason and Mike.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
The Giants in an upset that only Alex Tyshert saw coming.
I mean him with the points plus seven and a half.
Come on, not as bold as Alex tight? Oh no, no,
who said on the show. Alex, who doesn't even know
the city the Giants are Eagles playing, said last night
(34:10):
Giants went by fourteen.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, wow, doesn't know?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Uh think about Jane Yeah, everybody on the Amazon panel
had it wrong.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
They all said Eagles.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
They all said, and you said, and you said giants
by fourteen, not just giants. Wait, you said giants by fourteen.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Fashion.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
And as a result, Tyscher gets his own segment on
the show tomorrow night because I made a bad deal.
We'll get into that. We'll get into that. But I
want to solve the Eagles problems, because the Eagles in
three days have gone from everything is fine to we
have real problems. Right.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
What do I say?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Eagles one foot about to cross the finish line, one
foot on the banana peel. That's Philadelphia Sports. That's the Eagles,
especially yea ch all times they have problem. I thought
after the game against the the the Broncos, it's a
good time to reset.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Right. It was a good loss.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
I I ever say this about losses, but for a
team when when you're undefeated you lose your first game. Okay,
now you can address the big elephants in the room.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I still wish they had gotten the w by Hurts
chasing down his hail Mary that bounced off somebody. I
threw it.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I caught it, all right, dude, I am mister perfect right,
you would address everything. You'd address the fact that Aj
Brown and DeVante Smith want the football more. You'd be
able to address the fact that we have issues in
Saquon Barkley is not going to run to our rescue
like he did a year ago. He's not the same
guy because he's coming off of four hundred touches. Losing
a game forces you to have that introspection on a
(35:33):
short week to get back out and play best thing
for the Eagles instead, now they have real problems. They
have no offensive identity. I don't know if they're gonna
be a team that throws the football, They're gonna still
try to run the football.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I don't know who.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
They are, and I don't know that they know who
they are, and I don't know that they know how
to solve it. That's where that's the again. The banana
peel is so big, it's so slippery, and they find
a way to step on that. Man, it's like Sideshow
Bob step on the rakes. They finally just that banana peel.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
They have problems, but I have a solution. I will
send you to heaven.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Before I send you to hell, one, can you please
perform the entire act of HMS pinaform, we sail the
ocean blue. Uh. I have a solution, and I know
I know what they need to do. Okay, we can
do this. It's not it's not fire. Well, it's not.
It's not getting a new player. No, it's not releasing
a player. Although AJ Brown I think his time is
(36:30):
limited with the Eagles, it's time we talked about it.
I think by the dead deadline in a couple of weeks,
there's gonna be a new I think they need a
new mix on offense. Should we sing a couple of
bars from shaking up the Great Zendaia vehicle from the
US channel. I think that the Eagles are gonna wind
up saying we need a new mix offensively. The Aj
Brown thing is just going to be too difficult to work,
(36:51):
and they will make a move for another wide receiver
and trade out AJ Brown. I mean, look, DeVante Smith
is really talented. He's fine, he has big games, But
it seems like that's the focal point of this. So
I said it about a week and a half ago.
I don't think Aj Brown's gonna be on the team
by the deadline. The Eagles are not gonna say, yeah,
we're gonna solve it like we did last year. No,
(37:11):
they went along with it last year and they solved
it because it was a problem that came along late
in the season.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
He's reading a book on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Okay, we managed it all the way through. Now you're
talking about these issues in the beginning of October. Okay,
you're not gonna just massage this all the way through.
So yeah, they're gonna make a big move for a
different playmaker that will fit in with what they do,
and AJ Brown's gonna go and it's gonna be a
new day in Philadelphia. Right, That's how they solve it.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Well, the problem is beyond that, is that where you
sit right now, however long. I mean, you got three
weeks of the deadline right early November, that you've got
an offense that you've given up your identity. Right, you
came out and you went smash model football your first
two plays, right, Giants commit the latest in the We
(37:54):
didn't meet the landing zone. You got over a thousand
square yards. Okay, it's a big wide swath of land
for the ball to land and fail start at the
forty first two plays over thirty yards rushing for Saquon Barkley.
He finished with fewer than sixty for the game. Yeah, right,
just and his touches were limited once again. And then
(38:16):
you get behind in the stick. You're not a team
to come from behind. No, no, And we watched that
time and again and Jalen hurts he's taken his incoming
And that was part of the off season narrative even
though they won. Was it all because of the tush push?
Was it all because of everybody else? Could he be
the guy? Well when he's had to be the guy
because he had DeVante Smith a couple of times wide
open missed him. Aj Brown, I mean you had that
(38:39):
play on the sideline and you're talking about effort after
interceptions that like like we talked about with Chris Jones
the other day, he had to raise his hand and
wear it for the Chiefs. Same thing here. Like, you
got a lot of issues. I think all goes back
to your offensive line is not as good. But right
now you don't have the cohesion that you had because
you climb the mountain and now everybody's looking out for
(39:01):
their individual spaces. So well, that's my prediction, right Pain's
that's not my solving the problem. No, here's my solving
the problem. It's very easy. Yeah, it's very simple. Hire
Jerry new Heiseel. You hide a wizard. You hire Jerry
new Heeisel.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
He comes in and remakes the offense, and they carry
him off the field after the game, just like they
did when they beat Penn State. You want to the
new head coach, Jerry new Heisel, Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator.
That's the new Flash Gordon quarterback, New York Jets. Jerry
new Heisel, coordinator offense, Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Still one of the finest scenes in cinematic history from
the nineteen eighty classic Flash Gordon.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
I mean you can't, you can't go wrong. I'm sorry, UCLA.
He became a legend at thirty three. Yes, but the
Eagles need him, Okay, can't.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Have them offensives decided that Kevin Patulo has done Huyeah
just that fast.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Say this is what's happening. Jerry new Heisel's coming in.
That's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
By the way, I want to give a little bit
of love to Tim Skipper, who is actually the head
coach of your USA.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Doesn't matter, Jerry new Heiseel doesn't matter. Fair haired boy
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
No bring in.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Nobody knows any of those other people. Mike, it's Jerry
new Heisel. He started mean they carried him off the field.
Dad beat Penn State. They're still carrying him.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
It's it's like in eighty five when the Bears won
and they carried Buddy Ryan off the field.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Carry Jerry new Heidelood. James Franklin sad memes should have
come up alongside Michael Jordan after that loss, standing in
the middle of the field. Eagles won't lose a game.
Come on that. That is bold. You know I usually
say hate to say I told you so. I really do.
