(01:13):
references to the Mets. After this horrendous game tonight that
I really don't want to talk about ever again. I've
got to take it off another week where I feel like,
you know what I need. I need another I need
a break from them. I need a break. You blow
a six nothing lead and allow nine runs in the
fourth inning and lose eleven. I mean, come on, man,
spectacularly the games are boring. No, but I'm fine with that.
(01:34):
It's six nothing game in the fourth inning. Come on, man,
I mean the Reds are excited right now. They're bleeping
Cincinnati Reds.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Come on, man, Reds with a big eight nothing win
over the Phillies today, you were all excited lost again.
That doesn't Reds.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
No, No, you're it's a weird Snow that you have
to be. I made that move four days ago, Okay,
I am. I am done looking up and trying to
send and and scorebard watching for the Phillies. Now I'm
looking at the Reds and the Cardinals, and that that's
what I do. I wanted the Phillies to win today. No,
they couldn't come through either. Keep No, I'm gonna We're
(02:13):
gonna lose two out of three to the Reds. Oh, okay, great,
this is just you know, I hate abad double Day.
I really if I ever got to meet Aberd double damas, say, dude,
I can't believe you invented the worst game ever.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Wow. Yeah, I mean if you didn't look down, you
wouldn't get vertigo.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
No, now, we got a couple of quarterbacks to get
to in a second the next few minutes here coming
off of what was a very busy day in the
NFL for joint practices and fights at joint practices. But
oh yeah, you know, we talked a few minutes ago
about that Lions Dolphins joint practice, which, according to many
observers says it was the most lopsided one sided joint
(02:48):
practice they've ever seen two teams have where the Lions
quote out everything the Dolphins over the course of the
entire two hours. This is out there with drills and scrimmaging,
and obviously it's no tax scrimmaging, but still you can
get a pretty good guest and the Dolphins just looked
absolutely terrible. Now for the Lions, here's the thing is
that with every passing day, it doesn't matter that they're
(03:12):
missing their oc that Ben Johnson has gone it doesn't matter.
They're missing Aaron Glenn who's now the head coach of
the Jets, doesn't matter. It was succeed and proceed right.
These guys came in and they helped us build a
culture and build a winning franchise. And okay, but this
is absolutely a super Bowl or bust year for the Lions,
where if they don't get to the super Bowl, the
season is a failure. It's an absolute failure because they
(03:36):
have the most talented roster. This is their last year
to do it because guess what after this year, Who's
got to get paid. Jared Goff has to get paid.
I'm and Ross Saining Brown's got to get paid. So
all of this, Hey, all this talent you've been able
to occuru aidon Hutchinson, they want to extend his deal
a little bit. I'd late to see if he comes
back from injury first, but there's a lot of guys
that have to get paid, and good blank and luck
(03:56):
doing it like this is it like this is a
it's either the super Bowl this year or we have
to kind of reconfigure our team and figure something else
out and say goodbye to some guys and and bring
in some sort of new mix, because this is year
three with some of the best talent across the NFL.
It is super Bowl or bust, and it's not quite
(04:18):
start over, but it's it's a new mix. And that's
saying goodbye to a lot of guys that have become
lyon studs over the past couple of years.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I'm looking squarely at you, John Morton. And no, not
Johnny Morton, old wide receiver. No offensive coordinator. John Morton,
who came over from the Denver Broncos was their past
game coordinator. He's your OC.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, I coached his kidding softball for a couple of months.
When I coached his kidding softball. She's a good player.
Uh could really hit, had a great arm. Oh I
wish I wish I had her on the team longer.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
She got a culture in the clubhouse or what.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yes, she said, listen, when we go out and play,
if we gotta, we gotta bite people's kneecaps, if we
need to, We're gonna do all of this. I'm like,
any wait, that's Dan Campbell. No, no, no, it's fun.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
No, he stole it from me.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I never actually talked to him. I talked to her
mom mostly and and and she was a great kid,
and like it's been a couple of years since I
coached her, but I was like, oh, I was so
excited when John Morton got the gig. I'm like, all right, nice,
I could say, I coaches kidding softball.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
And I got to get Johnny Mooreton the wide receiver,
and so we all want.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And worked that.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
There are things, there are things that his wife told
me about the Jets that I'm not going to say.
So that's because the Jets.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No, no, no, I can't.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I promised. I can't. No, I can't. I get it.
I feel bad giving you that tease and then say ah,
but I can't, no, I can't. I know I can't
do it.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Do it?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You do? You can't do it a global audience on
the radio app and can't do Tube channel and everything else.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Can't do it.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And then and then you just took it away.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I will say this when I said, oh my god,
you your husband coach the Jets. I'm a Jet fan.
And let's just say, you know, I'm glad I was
a good softball coach because I'm glad she liked playing softball.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Then yeah, yeah, so that that's guy, Bring.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
You one of those little burgers and we'll go from
the What am.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I laughing at?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Just?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I mean, I I that was that stop? I know, man,
we're moving past that. I need positivity. You're gonna wear
it tonight and every night listen, you could. Okay, if
you wind up looking up at the padres after tonight,
guess what the bigger story is? You guys out of
first place.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
But guess what we'll be playing October baseball? You will
not be you.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Know, but the shows tonight. As Harmon likes to say,
the show is tonight, you're gonna wear it more than
I will. Harmon likes to say, I'll look like a
naked guy running through uh Penn station in New York.
Compared to you what you're gonna wear tonight, You're gonna
be like Joey and Friends when he tried to wear
all of Chandler's clothes in that one episode. That's what
you're doing. What you're talking about wear where? Uh so, well,
(07:00):
it's a super Bowl or bust year for the line. Yeah,
but the Mets were up six night. I know, I know,
I know, and you know you can turn s n
y off on the on the three TVs you have
them on at any time. I no longer need to
see the post game from this game for TV. No,
you don't want to leave the Dodgers on at least
one so you can watch this. Uh so, another big
(07:22):
story from today. Michael Pennix Junior got himself in a
bit of a sticky situation as the Falcons and Titans
during a joint practice, had a scuffle and Pennix found
himself in the middle of it. He completed a long
pass to Ray Ray McLeod and then he and some
Titans defenders were talking trash with each other. Things kind
of boil over as they do. Players from both teams
(07:44):
came in from the sidelines and Pennix ended up in
the middle and he got thrown to the ground at
one point. Now he turned out, Okay, he got out,
he went back in practice. Everything out to be fine.
But here's Michael Pennix in the middle. That's gotta If
you are the Falcons, you see this, you go, oh
my goodness, what's going on. The only guy looking over
going hey, what's happening is Kirk Cousins. But everybody else
(08:04):
is like, oh my god, what's happening? What's happening? This
is like the scariest moment you could possibly have watching
your quarterback in the middle of a scrum and then
go down during the middle of it.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I want all the tapes. I want to know if
Kirk Cousins precipitated things he did, he had datum. I
want my starting job back. Fifty bucks. If you say this,
you can really get under his skin. Here's fifty bucks.
You yelled at after that long past the ray Ray McCloud. Yeah,
you see what happens?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You do that now?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You know?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And the funny part is when this story broke today,
I was talking about this and I made my wife
laugh unconsciously made my wife laugh because she I was like, whoa,
and she goes, what happened? I know she knows, uh,
And as she was well, I said what I said, Oh,
Michael Pennix got because initially the reports were Michael Pennock's
in a scuffle, there's a fight at Practice'm like, whoa,
(08:55):
I said, I think Michael Pennock's got in a fight
at practice, and and and she goes with his team
and I said, no, no, they're they're having a joint,
a joint scrimmage. She goes with who, I said, the Titans.
I said, I, so he's probably okay, and she laughed
and I said what she goes You said it was
a Titan, so he's probably okay. I go, oh, yeah,
that was kind of unconscious. You know, the Titans stink,
so oh if he's in a he's in a fracas
(09:16):
with the Titans, they probably can't fight either, So yeah,
he's probably okay.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Like very Tennessee niously chime in at how about a
Fresco had swollen dome? As Fox Sports rack.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Very unconsciously, I was like, yeah, it's the Titans, they'll
be fine, Like, oh, if he was in a fracas
against the Eagles, well look.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Out, look, that's like you were playing a game of
word association. Justin let me let me try this.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
H yeah, no, look, hey, any any any uh fracas
of course can turn into something, but just very unconscious like,
oh yeah, the Titans, they're terribly I'm sure he's fine.
It's a freaks with the Titans that day, it's all good.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Did Kirk Cousins like ball up his face?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Let's tougher than the Jets. I know about that, dude,
We'll be fine. The Jets are gonna be okay. And
you know, look, and the other thing is I've talked
about this and some of the players you know, talked
about Michael Pennix and protecting him and seeing him in
the middle. And that is a great thing for for
teammates to see a quarterback stepping in something like this,
even though it's completely dangerous and no one would blame
(10:17):
the guy if he stepped out, you see that, But
the fact that he's in the middle of the scrum,
you know, it more tells you he's the guy there.
Following right, all of this Kirk Cousins stuff. I mean,
I don't know how long Kirk Cousins is going to
be on the roster. He only plays if something happens
to Michael Pennix. Like it's clearly Pennis's team. And I've
told you that I'm all in on the on the
(10:37):
Falcons this year. They're that surprised. I love their long
Super Bowl odds or like like like six hundred to
one or whatever it was or six thousand to one.
The Falcons play in a very easy division. They have
a lot of young talent, and it just has to
get harnessed. And last year was so much stop and
go with Cousins because he started out poorly, then he
(10:59):
had a little bit of a and then by the
time you get to the end of the season he
has four or five weeks where he's terrible. Pennix takes
over and he's okay. He's not a superstar, but at
least he got some reps. But there's so much talent
on this team. I am so buying the Falcons for
this year because they could be that team in the
NFC you want to say, who could have a surprise
Super Bowl run, who could maybe ruin the Lions plans
(11:21):
on the Super Bowl. Falcons have good players everywhere. Man,
you have one of the top running a top five
running back now in Bijon Robinson because finally the Falcons realized, oh,
we have to give him the football. Right with London
and Mooney, you have two terrific wide receivers. I mean,
I'm not really buying the Kyle Pitts breakout year because again,
he's been in the league now for a decade and
it's not gonna happen with all these other weapons that
(11:41):
are better on offense. He's clearly the fourth option at best,
after Robinson and after both receivers. So I'm not buying
the Kyle Pitts. Oh now he's gonna break out. Yeah,
sell as highs to Kenanhan and fantasy. But overall for
the Falcons this year, they have a lot of young energy,
They have a lot of young talent. They should play
fast and as long as Pennix is as good as advertise,
(12:01):
which after a year of getting the reps and being
the number one guy and going in knowing it's his gig. Yes, guys,
look bit for the Falcons, man, I am so buying
on them this year.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Don't tell me not to live just sitting putter. Life's
candy and the sun's a ball of butter. Don't bring
around a cloud to rain on Jason Smith's parade. They
are now eighty to one. They have the same odds
as the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No, wow, really wow wow wow? That I I can't
get it that. That doesn't make any sense. That did
a Tampa Dolphins. Well, Tampa Tempa won the division. Baker
Mayfion's coming off.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
The one to tell you what they think of the division.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I get it. No, I guess it's not a great division.
But it's not like the Bucks are world beaters, right, Like, hey,
the Bucks, they the Bucks are The Bucks are a
good team. They figured out their quarterback ptition, they drafted wide,
drafted aage. Yeah, they drafted another great wide receiver this year. Yeah, look,
you you're solid everywhere. I get it. But it's not
like their talent level look very similar, comparable to the
(13:01):
Falcons and except you know the Falcons, Hey, they have
another level. They have a level they can get to.
They haven't gotten to yet. Leg I see the Bucks
is like, well, best case scenario is and as expected.
But are they are they this good to keep it
going for another year? But I mean you talk about
a team that, hey, who's that Who's that surprise team
that can rise up and come out of nowhere at
(13:23):
plus six thousand or that's the Falcons, Like they have
they have everything in front of them. As long as
as Pennix is the guy, That's the only thing I'm
concerned about, right, not suddenly they're gonna be Oh the
defense needs to do X and wye. If Pennix is
what they think he was supposed to be when they
drafted him, they will be absolutely fine. They're gonna win
that division and suddenly there'll be a team nobody wants
to play.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Just to put things in perspective on the grand scale
of odds, and this has been updated in the last
forty eight hours. They have the same odds to win
the Super Bowl as three teams coming out of the
ax S the crowded don't. Then's the Patriots of the Jaguars.
Just to kind of put it in perspective, ma'am, how
(14:05):
much trusts they have in Kyle Pitt's Michael Pennix and
what the Falcons are.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Oh, I'm in on the Falcons. That's why they call
it surprise. Oh if it was oh they're great, it
would be Now this is a surprise. Surprise. Love the Falcons.
I love the fact that Michael Pennix Junior is Okay.

I'm the producer of the pauly A Toni Fusco Show.
Usually in these promos they asked you.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
To listen to the show.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I'm here to ask you please don't listen to the show.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
He's still moving. You know, I feel bad liking this
song as much as I do, because it's one of
those songs where when it's on the rate, it's one
of those songs where, okay, it's it's not it's not great,
but it's good enough to not change the channel and
to listen to the whole thing. And obviously going back
(15:36):
to the eighties and all the teen comedies, and this
is one of the big ones, right, it's a big deal.
Don't you Forget About Me, Simple Minds and Breakfast Club,
and I feel, but I feel weird about liking it
because if I'm in the car with Zoe, like and
and we play it and I leave it on, She'll
say something like, oh, this is ore you and memory
(15:57):
memory Lane right now? Memory lane right now? Thinking about
it's like, come on, what are you talking about? Like,
all of a sudden, I'm so old listening to this song, like, yeah,
back in the nineteen eighties when everything was better in
the world, Like I feel you are fifty something, you
are old. She makes me feel said, no, you can
years old as you feel. But after the Mets game tonight,
(16:17):
I feel really old and yeah, you're a child and
hunched over and not not great Bob. But when she says, ago,
are you in memory Lane right now? Dad, I'm like,
I'm just listening to the song. Okay, Well, I'm sorry,
let's put on Well I'm sorry, what song you're listening to?
On TikTok, let's hear seventeen seconds of the song you're
listening to.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
It's like the uh Simpsons episode of Kids could be
so cruel. We can green and then they go run
off to create some chaos because my kids do the
same thing. It's more the younger one that gets after me.
And you know Maddie with her snark when a song
or a movie or whatever, it's like, yeah, nostalgia, huh,
I was out, you know back in nineteen thirty five,
(16:57):
you know, or we'll be watching it white movie. Hey
did you see this one in the theater?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
What was it like?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
When you watch Thunderball in the theater?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You listen?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Was the sound good enough? I mean, because it's not
Dolby sound when you were a kid?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Dad, Were you in the pit to watch Glenn Miller band?
Were you there? Did you see?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
What was that like? Seeing that from that close? Was
it so outstanding? Though? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Circle?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Uh now listen speaking of that.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Taylor Swift made her appearance on the In the Heights
podcast with with the Kelsey Brothers and Anthony Ramos, and
you know, look talked a lot about her new album
and everything almost I think he did. Yes, Hey, there's
a neighborhood I want to tell you about all the
way back and uh, you know, like a lot of
it was about was about Taylor Swift, a new album
coming out, and they had some fun conversation. But this
(17:48):
one bit, you know, because I thought of this. Actually
hearing this made me think of a way that Jets
could win. Uh is I thought I was like, Okay,
let me say here. She is talking about what she
first thought football was. I she knows more about football
now dating Travis Kelcey for the last couple of years,
being immersed in it. But this is what she first
said she thought football really was. Take a listen. My
(18:10):
boyfriend's a loser. Wow, it sounds great something they recorded
the podcast here in the studio. That's outstanding.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Alright, So.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I don't know how you taught that. I don't know.
We'll try. Just to the player she brings up right here,
she is this is what she thought football was when
she first started watching the game. Again, this is this
is pre Travis kelcey. My boyfriend's brother's also a big loser.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
That takes care of both of the hosts. Okay, that's fine,
I get it. I get it.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Okay, Well, it's gonna catch some straight. I don't know
that guy behind the camera, he's the engineer producing this podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
He's a looser. The people on the other side of
the glass doing this thing let's try again. Let's see.
Here's what she thought football was when she first started watching.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Patrick Mahomes can't throw a ball for his life.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
That's a different voice. That's a different.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Voice her Elmo knows where you live.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
That was her. You never said that about I could
throw football. I don't know what you're talking about. I
just got to throw a pass and then make sure
everything is fine my brother and my wife. The headlines
aren't you know, nothing's happened on social media. And I'll
throw a pass and then we'll go on. Gotta dad too.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
You're drifted too close to Jerry Jones.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
And I gotta say, you know, I would would love
to have the Mahomes kid went to Texas Tech, tried
to draft him, inadvertently drafted his dad, and wound up
holding the Mets as a part.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Of it because you know it's where he was. Yeah,
Mahomes kid. Uh so uh then uh realized I had
to sell the Mets and uh, you know, didn't make
any money on a deal, but that but still with
the cowboy, Good morning to you. What do we have?
What's happening? What's happening now? We'll call back the last night.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Tell me you didn't go watch some clips after the show.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Oh, I watched the Best of d last night.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Yeah, absolutely, I watched the episode of Shirley's Cookies.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, oh okay. Did you see the episode where Dwayne
had the footpad the system and picking football games and
he won like ten weeks in a row. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, I remember trying to go through that system,
going okay, so he does this, he does this, He
does this like like it was real, Like I would
go as a kid like it was real.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
But think about it in the animated world, it's always
you know, in South Park. Even joked about it. Simpsons
did it? Simpsons did it? This is one where What's
Happening predated Lisa's gambling acumen helping Homer. How about that?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
In fact, I think I remember the game where the
gambler or the bookie who was who what you wanted
to cash in on Dwayne's football picks busted because because
Dwayne picked Tampa Bay was back when Tampa Bay was
turned like nineteen seventy seven, right, And he says, Tampa
beats Dallas ten to seven. That's the biggest upset of
the year, Tampa ten seven. Because his whole thing was
the team with the fancier helmets always wins.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
So guy buccaneer helmets at that point.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Oh yeah, absolutely better helmet. I think you could argue, oh,
what was better the you know, the pirate helmet with
the sword in the mouth or the Cowboys star. Okay,
so he picked Tampa to beat Dallas ten seven. I
remember the final score. They're listening on the radio or
watching our DV and Dallas now leaves forty nine to
seven with two minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
Like the guy busted all his money.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Give me a November tenth, nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Oh wow, you did the episth nice, all right, so
let's try one more time. Here is Taylor Swift talking
about what she thought football was when she first started watching.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I don't know who loves McDonald's more, Jason Smith or
Andy Reid.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh oh that's me, that's me. That's absolutely me, because
he does the commercial for whatever that generic. You know, Hey,
let me give me some of those nugget no chance.
Oh that is true. I don't eat the bread anymore.
I don't eat the bread.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Wasn't he always uh touting the greatness of Tommy Burger.
Uh okay, southern California, wasn't that? I love?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Oh dude, the chili a Tommy Burger is days.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Have you ever tried to run after Tommy Burger?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:22):

Speaker 4 (22:25):
I know you?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
No, dude, Tommy Burger. I get the chili. It's so good.
It's exactly what I mean, so heavy, Like I get
a I get like a uh not like a pint
of chili, and it's like twenty with straw. Oh no, no,
you can't know, you can't. You can't. You can't eat
with a straw. You need you need a really, you
need an industrial spoon to be able to grab that eat.
(22:48):
Oh it's it's so good, oh Man said, Now I
want to I want to Tommy Burger, Tommy Burger. Uh okay.
So so there it is. Okay, So let me have
some of those nuggies, Patrick, give me some of those.
Give me some of those.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Here's Taylor Swift talking about what she thought football was
when she first started watching Ben Mail is my favorite.
I keep waiting, I can't. I keep waiting with the
voice being so like that, I keep waiting for it
(23:20):
to hear. Look at my hooves. I keep keep waiting
for that line to come, like you just keep that.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I mean it's like the uh that thing where you
were betting. Uh you know, the sit and spin thing.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh sure, I had one of those when I was
a kid, when you said, and oh my goodness, and
with Joey you do is get dizzy?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, I mean you got that or you got that,
you know the barn animal thing? Hey, what's the what
animal is gonna make a sound? And you're betting on
it like you're on the King of Queens.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
She clearly has nothing good to say. Shot her keep
it moving.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
But but but her whine about how I first, I
get your anti chiefs, I get your anti Travis Kelsey,
I guys, has nothing to do with me.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I get.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I understand you think we actually rolled on it as hilarious.
I know he rolled on it because MONSI played in
her update like an hour ago. I know we haven't
because she's got it.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
No, she didn't.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Know.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
You deleted it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Out of the system. That's out of the system. It's
not there anymore. It's not there anymore. Uh So what
she said was she thought football was Jared Goff and
Josh Allen on the field at the same time wrestling
each other. Yeah, which that she's thought football was like
these guys are the quarterbacks got and they fought each
other and all kinds of stuff, And I thought, well,
she said that. I thought, Man, if that was the case,
(24:37):
I think the Jets would win a lot of games.
Cause I think Justin Fields will be able to beat
the crap out of a lot of people. He's built,
he's a big dude, he's Buffy's young. Like, if it
was quarterback fighting another quarterback, I think the Jets could
go like twelve and five. I mean, there's certain guys
I think maybe it beats a little bit tougher for him.
Josh Allen's a big dude. He might be tough, but
like I would take fields over my homes, I would
take fields over Jalen Hurts. I think I think the
(24:58):
Jets could go twelve and five with quarterbacks fighting each other.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Look at that. I mean, we got to go through
their schedule two wins in this that way. How about
how about we look at the schedule through that prism.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I mean, think about this. Okay, they do all.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Two seventy two in the vein of the tailor's swift.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I mean, maybe maybe they lose. Maybe we lose both
to Buffalo, right, but maybe we squeak one out. But okay,
we lose, but we beat the Dolphins twice because just
because Fields beats up to or twice beats up Drake
May twice. So that's four and two in division. All
of a sudden, All of a sudden, I'm thinking, Hey,
we can make a big playoff run here.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
That would be the best.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Who do you think? Who do you think wins?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Since Sanchez was.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
We open up against the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers. Who's
winning that? Justin fields? Or Aaron Rodgers justin fields? We
start one to Oh, things are great.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I don't know. Rogers has a powerful mind. He might
know that great. Can hear stuff? You think Anchorman two
would take you down? No?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
No, not even close, man, not even he would try,
and he but it his mind. It would end early.
He's look, he's already skittish in the pocket enough running
back throwing off his back foot. What it'd be like
if he had to throw a punch off his back foot.
It's not gonna lamb with anything, because I know that's
what's gonna happen. Oh I don't want to get hit.
But here goes Justin Fields.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I'm telling you, man, he is a tough dude. But
you have to be to you know, be a thousand
yard runner. Just think about that. I mean, twelve and five,
four and two in division, we'd win opening week against
the Steelers one hundred percent. Man.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
You know, by tomorrow night, I am going to go
through the two seventy two and we were gonna.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Break it down. Who would by.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Taylor Swift fighting that starve starters.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
The started quarterbacks. That's how you forget about the rest
of the roster. If they fought, who would win and
what the record would be, and then you see like
what the what the playoff bracket would look like.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Wow, the Jets are twelve and five. Okay, I think
this is fun. I did I think this is this
is a good bit.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I like it. I like it.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Well, I'll extrapolate, I'll build boards, We'll get a.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Ton I mean that might be. I mean that might
be the only way to win. But you know, I'm
thinking right now, Okay, if it's a regular season for
the Jets, Okay, if they go eight to nine, nine,
I can see them having that kind of run this year.
Because the defense is good, they're gonna run the football
a thousand times. I know, I understand, I I get it.
But if it was fighting, like I really think they
could make a run here, man, I mean really they could,
(27:11):
because look, they would, it would, they would, they would.
They would win the first game, right you start out,
want to know thinking, great, hey we beat the Steelers,
beat our rivals, it's awesome. You lose to Buffalo. I
would take fields over Baker Mayfield. I'd take fields over
to us. So now we're three and one, then well,
Dak Dak might be hurt by then, so maybe we
win there. Uh then it don't.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Joe Milton's gotten a lot, I mean, want Milton might
as well be throwing a football over the mountain.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I'll give that one to Dallas. And I'll give that
one to Dallas.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
What about Milton from off?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Give that he'll take you down, take care of the
cockroach problem here, and then uh uh so I'll give
us three and two. But then Bo Nicks, Bryce Young,
Joe Burrow, and Joe Flacco. Like that's a five week
run of Jets wins right there. I mean, all of a.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Sudden Joe Burrow might get hurt by his own guy,
and you get when you get to that game. At
this point.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
We're hitting the bye week, going the Jets might have
home field for the quarterback. Fights all the way through
and then coming out of there, then it's okay. Then
it's Drake May again. Then it's Lamar Jacks. Lamar is
tough and he's really fast though. That's God to be
a tough one. But then it's Panix and then it's
two again. Then it's Trevor Lawrence, and then who knows
who the quarterback is for the Saints, Like maybe I'm,
you know, twelve and five. I might be a little
(28:26):
light on it. Maybe it's thirteen and four.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah, no, I think this works. Yeah, I think this
is good. And we have to come up with fighting
nicknames for each of the thirty two.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, hundred percent, yes, yes, And they get
announced like introductions, Oh yeah yeah. They all have music
coming in and the lights go down low. Oh yeah, yeah,
one hundred percent. And it's kind of an octagon, but
it looks like a football field because I have the
turf on that. You know, everybody comes out looking like
they're a quarterback and you know everything one hundred percent.
Jo Yeah, Jets go fourteen thirteen. I'm saying thirteen and
(28:56):
four and we're in the mix for a home home quarterback.
Actually all the way through now we went thirteen to
thirteen and four. Mike's on, Dude, I can't wait to
play the charge. Yah, I go. Love to see Justin Herbert,
Justin Fields, man, give me just right now.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Look at that he's standing up for his guy. He
just said, I'll take this fight.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Give me the thousand yard runner who lowers his head
every single time. Justin Fields could do that. I wish
that was football, and maybe Taylor Swift is powerful enough
to make it happen, because that's what I'd like to see.
Tell how to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. And someone who brought us that SoundBite
from Taylor Swift last hour it has since been a
race from erroneous. It's Monzi Belaya.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Would you like to hear the sounds? Jason?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I think Justin Frostburg will key your car if you
bring it.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
Bring it, Okay, let me know if you want to
hear it, I've got it for you.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But well, let's shot here with baseball.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
The Angels have retaken the lead from the Dodgers in Anaheim.
This is the World Series apparently for the Angels. Logan
o'hoppy with the two RBI single giving Angels the lead
in the eighth inning. They just got going top of
the ninth Moogie Bets had a very close, very close
home run landed on the warning track, and it looks
(30:12):
like they're down to their final out right now.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Angels up six to five.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
As I mentioned earlier today, the Padres won their fifth
straight game, crushing the Giants eleven to one. So right
now San Diego has a half game lead on the
Dodgers in the NL West. Obviously it'll become a full
game if this game ends right now.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
You know, I'm just waiting for the game to end.
So I go, hey, Frost Park, my everynets broken. Who's
in first place in the NL West?
Speaker 7 (30:35):
See why you've started justin See why you started because
of the Taylor Swift sounds, and look at what you've started?
Speaker 3 (30:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
What else has happened today?
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Well, the Twins outscored the Yankees four to one. The
Cubs beat the Blue Jays four to one. Marlins outscored
the Guardians thirteen to thirteen to four. Jacob Marcy for
Miami had seven RBI in that one. The Braves erasist
six run deficit, beating the Mets eleven to six. Michael
Harris with a grand slam shut out the Phillies eight
to zero. Ori'll snap the Mirrors eight game winning streak
(31:04):
thanks to Jackson Holiday. They walked it off four to three.
The Astros top the Red Sox Fuorar to one, so
Houston has a one game lead on the Mariners in
the Al West. In the WNBA, the Aces defeated the
Liberty eighty three to seventy seven. When it comes to
the NFL, you can expect all the starters for the Bears,
including Caleb Williams, to play in their second preseason game
against the Bills. Bills running back James Cook agreed to
(31:26):
a four year, forty eight million dollar extension. Brown's rocky
quarterback Shador Sanders has an oblique injury.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
He's day to day, won't be.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
Practicing Thursday, likely will not play in their second preseason game.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Back to you, guys, Thanks a bunch of monster Yes,
Jason Smith, Mike Harmon Love from the Fox Sports Radio
studios again Quarterbacks Fighting Jets thirteen and four. Coming up next.
An NBA star says, if you think the gambling situation
is bad right now, with players and gambling and potentially
throwing games and fixing things for people who are it's
(32:01):
just gonna get worse. That's next right here. Jason.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
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 (32:13):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,
So coming up in ten minutes. I checked something. I
looked at the Major League Baseball standings, Mike Harmon, and I.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Looked at it.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
I looked at the NL West and I don't see
the Dodgers in first place. I don't see them in
first place.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
No, I don't see.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
But when you look at the playoffs standings, they're in it.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Unlike the Mats. The Mets are in the playoff standings. Not,
yes we are, we have the third card for not
yes we are.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
The playoffs were gonna start today, you are not in them.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah we're in them.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
We're not. Yeah we're the third worldcardently But there's not
a third wild card.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
We're getting rid of it to keep the Mets out
of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
In rewind, you know how sad that is that that
you're actually okay, we're the third wild card.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Dude, look at the teams I root for with it,
if they buy their way into the playoffs, I'm happy
If Steve Cohen says, hey, listen, I know we stunk
for the last three and a half months, but what
if I gave Major League Baseball like a billion dollars
to disperse out how they want? Just let us in
the playoffs. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
You know what, if that question was posed to owners,
it would be fun to watch who would respond? No quickest,
I dare to say it would be Jerry Ryan Storre.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Oh no, no, think about like we talked about him and
the Pirates. No, no, if we talked about that a
few minutes ago, right, like, hey, if football was like
what Taylor Swift thought it was. The beginning was like
Jared Goff and Josh Allen fighting each other on the field,
Like what if that was major League Baseball? The end
of the year, Okay, you know, the division winners make
it and then the teams that want to bid the
most money to give to Major League Baseball. There are
(33:45):
the other teams that get in.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
And then you hear all the speeches from the teams
that don't spend or don't want to spend money, trying
to hey guys, honest, like you know you really want
that play I mean, come on, come on, you know
you really want that playoff Earth. Look, think about the
whole gate you'll get for that one game.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
No that all the all the go fund yourselves out
there going hey you want to It's almost like the hey,
you know, send our guy to the All Star Game,
where they no, don't forget to vote for the final spot.
Send our guy to the All Star Game, and we're
teaming up with the other another team from the other league.
It would be like, hey, come on, guys, put that back.
You want to see us in the playoffs, don't you
put that? Put us over the top. The money stops
(34:23):
getting counted at noon on Tuesday, and then the wild
card matchups are announced. It like you again again. The
Mets would get in because Steve go And would spend
the money. All these changes would benefit my teams. I
can't believe we can't do that. Ah, I should do it.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Uh. Meanwhile, totally overtakes a Major League baseball like.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
This, Uh, really eye opening story out of basketball. Michael
Porter Junior, he won one of the big stars in
the league. His brother has had trouble in the NBA
with gambling issues, and obviously we've talked about this with
the Emmanuel class a story from the last few weeks
where potentially he's being invested out. Potentially he's being investigated
(35:04):
for potentially throwing a prop bet allowing some people to
cash in that the first pitch of one of his
innings was going to be a ball. He threw it
about forty five feet right into the ground. They cleared
out his locker. It's not in Cleveland anymore. His career
might be over. Like that's how big a deal this is.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Well, you got this whole thing going on with Oklahoma's
John Mattier as well.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Right, Oh yeah, yeah, he said, Hey, I was only
kidding with those bet slips, those screenshots of me betting.
I was only kidding. I'm not bet not betting on games.
It was only kidding. I was only kidding.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
We're figuring out how to squeeze out another couple of
hundred million from the betting syndicates, and you want to
invest more on the lower third, come on in.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
You know, Porter does a podcast today and he talks
about how easy it is for stuff like this happen.
He thinks gambling in sports is going to get worse.
He goes, let's just say you tell one of your friends,
these guys you know, come up in the league, say hey,
I can get you a quick ten grand or whatever
it is my prop in tonight's game. I'm gonna play
for a few minutes and then pretend I'm sick or
(36:04):
I'm gonna leave the game, and you'll make money. And
he goes, and guys do that, right, Guys, you know,
guys don't come from anything, will do it. Guys will
do it for their friends if they don't have any money.
You know, guys will do that. And this could wind
up getting worse as it is now because look, you
look class A potentially the investigation, although we've seen it
in the NBA before with prop bets and guys leaving
(36:24):
games early because they were sick or injured. And this
is why I maintain it. We talked about last night
and this is where the state of Ohio and Governor
Mike DeWine wants to introduce a bill to ban prop
betting in sports. And you know, we had that story
last night. Now you have you know, Porter saying what
he said tonight on a podcast today, and honestly, I
(36:46):
feel like that's just going to happen. They're going to
have to do something because eventually the gamblers are gonna
get smarter. It's not it's not gonna be where Hey,
here's we saw this inordinate amount of money come in
from Cleveland on the first pitch of the US inning.
We have to investigate it. Eventually we get smarter, and
they're gonna they're gonna spread money out or they're gonna
spread it over a course of a bunch of different
(37:07):
bets that are gonna go one way. Eventually, gambers are
gonna smart. It's not gonna be easy enough to catch them.
And in fact, I can't believe they still catch them now.
But again, hey, uh, gamblers, but uh, this is the
this is the first sticky wicket they're gonna have to
navigate as far as sports gambling goes, because betting the
props like it's it's an everyday new thing. Right, it's
a brave new world for sports to navigate what's going
(37:30):
on with sports gambling that's not going anywhere. The first
thing is, okay, we got to take care of the
prop bets, and it's gonna be a living organism of
how we're gonna be constantly be redefining the new normal
and what it's like and what we can allow happen,
what we can't allow happen. As gambling continues to get
more and more popular when it comes to the big sports, yes,
you worry about guys getting the players, and and and
and and gamblers inserting themselves. But the first thing on
(37:53):
the docket right now, because what have we seen the
most problems with is prop bets, and there's enough gambling
going on, I think it's pretty easy for the leagues
to get together and say, okay, we're banning these prop
bets that you've seen so far. I think the leagues
get on board with it, and I think the gamblers
get on board with it. I think the the above
board gamblers get on board with it. Vegas gets on
board with it and say, okay, we understand where this
(38:14):
is bad for all of us, So yes, we're going
to ban these prop bets like a rebound for you know,
for a guy leaving a game early, or a first
pitch of an inning, Like, I think those are the
things that's pretty easy to say, we're going to stop these,
and that's the first thing that they're going to fight
along the way.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Yeah, curiosity is we spoke a little bit yesterday with this.
On top of all the other gambling stories that have
circulated and players that have been suspended, there were rumors
that you'd have more guardians lockers cleared out before long.
So we'll wait and see what else comes out of
that investigation. But you know, limiting the dollar amounts the
(38:53):
breadth of prop bets, maybe some of these single event things,
non touchdown, non you know, game define kind of plays
thing go away and are reduced to shadow market kind
of situations because you're never gonna eliminate it entirely. But
the fact that you do have all these checks and
balances are a good thing. Looking at systems and inconsistencies
(39:16):
or in this case, consistencies from class A to where
you might have to hire another couple of sets of eyes.
You know, this is where folks that are retired g
men suddenly have more jobs because you know you're already
running security for a lot of big companies. Now you
come in in your an extra set of eyes for
the books, kind of like the eye Eye and the
Sky and the casinos in Vegas that you now just
(39:39):
apply that discipline somewhere else with the ins and outs
of the games, ex players, some of that stuff that
we talk about all the time.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yeah, if it wasn't so much where both sides wouldn't
be able to see the benefits for both or how hey,
if it goes bad, it can go really sideways for
both of us. I would say it would be harder
for them to come to agreement. But look, it's bad
for VAGA, it's bad for professional sports gambling, it's bad
for the leagues. I think this will be something that's
pretty easy. Again. It'll be the first of many battles
they continue to fight. But I think those prop bet
(40:09):
things they're gonna go away pretty quick. Exit out about
a Fresco exit swollen dome. Coming up next, we get
back into another big story out of the NFL. I
have to change a big, bold prediction that I made
last week because of it

(01:13):
references to the Mets. After this horrendous game tonight that
I really don't want to talk about ever again. I've
got to take it off another week where I feel like,
you know what I need. I need another I need
a break from them. I need a break. You blow
a six nothing lead and allow nine runs in the
fourth inning and lose eleven. I mean, come on, man,
spectacularly the games are boring. No, but I'm fine with that.
(01:34):
It's six nothing game in the fourth inning. Come on, man,
I mean the Reds are excited right now. They're bleeping
Cincinnati Reds.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Come on, man, Reds with a big eight nothing win
over the Phillies today, you were all excited lost again.
That doesn't Reds.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
No, No, you're it's a weird Snow that you have
to be. I made that move four days ago, Okay,
I am. I am done looking up and trying to
send and and scorebard watching for the Phillies. Now I'm
looking at the Reds and the Cardinals, and that that's
what I do. I wanted the Phillies to win today. No,
they couldn't come through either. Keep No, I'm gonna We're
(02:13):
gonna lose two out of three to the Reds. Oh, okay, great,
this is just you know, I hate abad double Day.
I really if I ever got to meet Aberd double damas, say, dude,
I can't believe you invented the worst game ever.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Wow. Yeah, I mean if you didn't look down, you
wouldn't get vertigo.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
No, now, we got a couple of quarterbacks to get
to in a second the next few minutes here coming
off of what was a very busy day in the
NFL for joint practices and fights at joint practices. But
oh yeah, you know, we talked a few minutes ago
about that Lions Dolphins joint practice, which, according to many
observers says it was the most lopsided one sided joint
(02:48):
practice they've ever seen two teams have where the Lions
quote out everything the Dolphins over the course of the
entire two hours. This is out there with drills and scrimmaging,
and obviously it's no tax scrimmaging, but still you can
get a pretty good guest and the Dolphins just looked
absolutely terrible. Now for the Lions, here's the thing is
that with every passing day, it doesn't matter that they're
(03:12):
missing their oc that Ben Johnson has gone it doesn't matter.
They're missing Aaron Glenn who's now the head coach of
the Jets, doesn't matter. It was succeed and proceed right.
These guys came in and they helped us build a
culture and build a winning franchise. And okay, but this
is absolutely a super Bowl or bust year for the Lions,
where if they don't get to the super Bowl, the
season is a failure. It's an absolute failure because they
(03:36):
have the most talented roster. This is their last year
to do it because guess what after this year, Who's
got to get paid. Jared Goff has to get paid.
I'm and Ross Saining Brown's got to get paid. So
all of this, Hey, all this talent you've been able
to occuru aidon Hutchinson, they want to extend his deal
a little bit. I'd late to see if he comes
back from injury first, but there's a lot of guys
that have to get paid, and good blank and luck
(03:56):
doing it like this is it like this is a
it's either the super Bowl this year or we have
to kind of reconfigure our team and figure something else
out and say goodbye to some guys and and bring
in some sort of new mix, because this is year
three with some of the best talent across the NFL.
It is super Bowl or bust, and it's not quite
(04:18):
start over, but it's it's a new mix. And that's
saying goodbye to a lot of guys that have become
lyon studs over the past couple of years.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I'm looking squarely at you, John Morton. And no, not
Johnny Morton, old wide receiver. No offensive coordinator. John Morton,
who came over from the Denver Broncos was their past
game coordinator. He's your OC.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, I coached his kidding softball for a couple of months.
When I coached his kidding softball. She's a good player.
Uh could really hit, had a great arm. Oh I
wish I wish I had her on the team longer.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
She got a culture in the clubhouse or what.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yes, she said, listen, when we go out and play,
if we gotta, we gotta bite people's kneecaps, if we
need to, We're gonna do all of this. I'm like,
any wait, that's Dan Campbell. No, no, no, it's fun.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
No, he stole it from me.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I never actually talked to him. I talked to her
mom mostly and and and she was a great kid,
and like it's been a couple of years since I
coached her, but I was like, oh, I was so
excited when John Morton got the gig. I'm like, all right, nice,
I could say, I coaches kidding softball.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
And I got to get Johnny Mooreton the wide receiver,
and so we all want.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And worked that.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
There are things, there are things that his wife told
me about the Jets that I'm not going to say.
So that's because the Jets.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No, no, no, I can't.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I promised. I can't. No, I can't. I get it.
I feel bad giving you that tease and then say ah,
but I can't, no, I can't. I know I can't
do it.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Do it?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You do? You can't do it a global audience on
the radio app and can't do Tube channel and everything else.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Can't do it.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And then and then you just took it away.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I will say this when I said, oh my god,
you your husband coach the Jets. I'm a Jet fan.
And let's just say, you know, I'm glad I was
a good softball coach because I'm glad she liked playing softball.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Then yeah, yeah, so that that's guy, Bring.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
You one of those little burgers and we'll go from
the What am.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I laughing at?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Just?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I mean, I I that was that stop? I know, man,
we're moving past that. I need positivity. You're gonna wear
it tonight and every night listen, you could. Okay, if
you wind up looking up at the padres after tonight,
guess what the bigger story is? You guys out of
first place.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
But guess what we'll be playing October baseball? You will
not be you.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Know, but the shows tonight. As Harmon likes to say,
the show is tonight, you're gonna wear it more than
I will. Harmon likes to say, I'll look like a
naked guy running through uh Penn station in New York.
Compared to you what you're gonna wear tonight, You're gonna
be like Joey and Friends when he tried to wear
all of Chandler's clothes in that one episode. That's what
you're doing. What you're talking about wear where? Uh so, well,
(07:00):
it's a super Bowl or bust year for the line. Yeah,
but the Mets were up six night. I know, I know,
I know, and you know you can turn s n
y off on the on the three TVs you have
them on at any time. I no longer need to
see the post game from this game for TV. No,
you don't want to leave the Dodgers on at least
one so you can watch this. Uh so, another big
(07:22):
story from today. Michael Pennix Junior got himself in a
bit of a sticky situation as the Falcons and Titans
during a joint practice, had a scuffle and Pennix found
himself in the middle of it. He completed a long
pass to Ray Ray McLeod and then he and some
Titans defenders were talking trash with each other. Things kind
of boil over as they do. Players from both teams
(07:44):
came in from the sidelines and Pennix ended up in
the middle and he got thrown to the ground at
one point. Now he turned out, Okay, he got out,
he went back in practice. Everything out to be fine.
But here's Michael Pennix in the middle. That's gotta If
you are the Falcons, you see this, you go, oh
my goodness, what's going on. The only guy looking over
going hey, what's happening is Kirk Cousins. But everybody else
(08:04):
is like, oh my god, what's happening? What's happening? This
is like the scariest moment you could possibly have watching
your quarterback in the middle of a scrum and then
go down during the middle of it.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I want all the tapes. I want to know if
Kirk Cousins precipitated things he did, he had datum. I
want my starting job back. Fifty bucks. If you say this,
you can really get under his skin. Here's fifty bucks.
You yelled at after that long past the ray Ray McCloud. Yeah,
you see what happens?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You do that now?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You know?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And the funny part is when this story broke today,
I was talking about this and I made my wife
laugh unconsciously made my wife laugh because she I was like, whoa,
and she goes, what happened? I know she knows, uh,
And as she was well, I said what I said, Oh,
Michael Pennix got because initially the reports were Michael Pennock's
in a scuffle, there's a fight at Practice'm like, whoa,
(08:55):
I said, I think Michael Pennock's got in a fight
at practice, and and and she goes with his team
and I said, no, no, they're they're having a joint,
a joint scrimmage. She goes with who, I said, the Titans.
I said, I, so he's probably okay, and she laughed
and I said what she goes You said it was
a Titan, so he's probably okay. I go, oh, yeah,
that was kind of unconscious. You know, the Titans stink,
so oh if he's in a he's in a fracas
(09:16):
with the Titans, they probably can't fight either, So yeah,
he's probably okay.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Like very Tennessee niously chime in at how about a
Fresco had swollen dome? As Fox Sports rack.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Very unconsciously, I was like, yeah, it's the Titans, they'll
be fine, Like, oh, if he was in a fracas
against the Eagles, well look.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Out, look, that's like you were playing a game of
word association. Justin let me let me try this.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
H yeah, no, look, hey, any any any uh fracas
of course can turn into something, but just very unconscious like,
oh yeah, the Titans, they're terribly I'm sure he's fine.
It's a freaks with the Titans that day, it's all good.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Did Kirk Cousins like ball up his face?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Let's tougher than the Jets. I know about that, dude,
We'll be fine. The Jets are gonna be okay. And
you know, look, and the other thing is I've talked
about this and some of the players you know, talked
about Michael Pennix and protecting him and seeing him in
the middle. And that is a great thing for for
teammates to see a quarterback stepping in something like this,
even though it's completely dangerous and no one would blame
(10:17):
the guy if he stepped out, you see that, But
the fact that he's in the middle of the scrum,
you know, it more tells you he's the guy there.
Following right, all of this Kirk Cousins stuff. I mean,
I don't know how long Kirk Cousins is going to
be on the roster. He only plays if something happens
to Michael Pennix. Like it's clearly Pennis's team. And I've
told you that I'm all in on the on the
(10:37):
Falcons this year. They're that surprised. I love their long
Super Bowl odds or like like like six hundred to
one or whatever it was or six thousand to one.
The Falcons play in a very easy division. They have
a lot of young talent, and it just has to
get harnessed. And last year was so much stop and
go with Cousins because he started out poorly, then he
(10:59):
had a little bit of a and then by the
time you get to the end of the season he
has four or five weeks where he's terrible. Pennix takes
over and he's okay. He's not a superstar, but at
least he got some reps. But there's so much talent
on this team. I am so buying the Falcons for
this year because they could be that team in the
NFC you want to say, who could have a surprise
Super Bowl run, who could maybe ruin the Lions plans
(11:21):
on the Super Bowl. Falcons have good players everywhere. Man,
you have one of the top running a top five
running back now in Bijon Robinson because finally the Falcons realized, oh,
we have to give him the football. Right with London
and Mooney, you have two terrific wide receivers. I mean,
I'm not really buying the Kyle Pitts breakout year because again,
he's been in the league now for a decade and
it's not gonna happen with all these other weapons that
(11:41):
are better on offense. He's clearly the fourth option at best,
after Robinson and after both receivers. So I'm not buying
the Kyle Pitts. Oh now he's gonna break out. Yeah,
sell as highs to Kenanhan and fantasy. But overall for
the Falcons this year, they have a lot of young energy,
They have a lot of young talent. They should play
fast and as long as Pennix is as good as advertise,
(12:01):
which after a year of getting the reps and being
the number one guy and going in knowing it's his gig. Yes, guys,
look bit for the Falcons, man, I am so buying
on them this year.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Don't tell me not to live just sitting putter. Life's
candy and the sun's a ball of butter. Don't bring
around a cloud to rain on Jason Smith's parade. They
are now eighty to one. They have the same odds
as the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No, wow, really wow wow wow? That I I can't
get it that. That doesn't make any sense. That did
a Tampa Dolphins. Well, Tampa Tempa won the division. Baker
Mayfion's coming off.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
The one to tell you what they think of the division.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I get it. No, I guess it's not a great division.
But it's not like the Bucks are world beaters, right, Like, hey,
the Bucks, they the Bucks are The Bucks are a
good team. They figured out their quarterback ptition, they drafted wide,
drafted aage. Yeah, they drafted another great wide receiver this year. Yeah, look,
you you're solid everywhere. I get it. But it's not
like their talent level look very similar, comparable to the
(13:01):
Falcons and except you know the Falcons, Hey, they have
another level. They have a level they can get to.
They haven't gotten to yet. Leg I see the Bucks
is like, well, best case scenario is and as expected.
But are they are they this good to keep it
going for another year? But I mean you talk about
a team that, hey, who's that Who's that surprise team
that can rise up and come out of nowhere at
(13:23):
plus six thousand or that's the Falcons, Like they have
they have everything in front of them. As long as
as Pennix is the guy, That's the only thing I'm
concerned about, right, not suddenly they're gonna be Oh the
defense needs to do X and wye. If Pennix is
what they think he was supposed to be when they
drafted him, they will be absolutely fine. They're gonna win
that division and suddenly there'll be a team nobody wants
to play.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Just to put things in perspective on the grand scale
of odds, and this has been updated in the last
forty eight hours. They have the same odds to win
the Super Bowl as three teams coming out of the
ax S the crowded don't. Then's the Patriots of the Jaguars.
Just to kind of put it in perspective, ma'am, how
(14:05):
much trusts they have in Kyle Pitt's Michael Pennix and
what the Falcons are.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Oh, I'm in on the Falcons. That's why they call
it surprise. Oh if it was oh they're great, it
would be Now this is a surprise. Surprise. Love the Falcons.
I love the fact that Michael Pennix Junior is Okay.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
He's still moving. You know, I feel bad liking this
song as much as I do, because it's one of
those songs where when it's on the rate, it's one
of those songs where, okay, it's it's not it's not great,
but it's good enough to not change the channel and
to listen to the whole thing. And obviously going back
(15:36):
to the eighties and all the teen comedies, and this
is one of the big ones, right, it's a big deal.
Don't you Forget About Me, Simple Minds and Breakfast Club,
and I feel, but I feel weird about liking it
because if I'm in the car with Zoe, like and
and we play it and I leave it on, She'll
say something like, oh, this is ore you and memory
(15:57):
memory Lane right now? Memory lane right now? Thinking about
it's like, come on, what are you talking about? Like,
all of a sudden, I'm so old listening to this song, like, yeah,
back in the nineteen eighties when everything was better in
the world, Like I feel you are fifty something, you
are old. She makes me feel said, no, you can
years old as you feel. But after the Mets game tonight,
(16:17):
I feel really old and yeah, you're a child and
hunched over and not not great Bob. But when she says, ago,
are you in memory Lane right now? Dad, I'm like,
I'm just listening to the song. Okay, Well, I'm sorry,
let's put on Well I'm sorry, what song you're listening to?
On TikTok, let's hear seventeen seconds of the song you're
listening to.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
It's like the uh Simpsons episode of Kids could be
so cruel. We can green and then they go run
off to create some chaos because my kids do the
same thing. It's more the younger one that gets after me.
And you know Maddie with her snark when a song
or a movie or whatever, it's like, yeah, nostalgia, huh,
I was out, you know back in nineteen thirty five,
(16:57):
you know, or we'll be watching it white movie. Hey
did you see this one in the theater?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
What was it like?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
When you watch Thunderball in the theater?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You listen?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Was the sound good enough? I mean, because it's not
Dolby sound when you were a kid?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Dad, Were you in the pit to watch Glenn Miller band?
Were you there? Did you see?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
What was that like? Seeing that from that close? Was
it so outstanding? Though? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Circle?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Uh now listen speaking of that.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Taylor Swift made her appearance on the In the Heights
podcast with with the Kelsey Brothers and Anthony Ramos, and
you know, look talked a lot about her new album
and everything almost I think he did. Yes, Hey, there's
a neighborhood I want to tell you about all the
way back and uh, you know, like a lot of
it was about was about Taylor Swift, a new album
coming out, and they had some fun conversation. But this
(17:48):
one bit, you know, because I thought of this. Actually
hearing this made me think of a way that Jets
could win. Uh is I thought I was like, Okay,
let me say here. She is talking about what she
first thought football was. I she knows more about football
now dating Travis Kelcey for the last couple of years,
being immersed in it. But this is what she first
said she thought football really was. Take a listen. My
(18:10):
boyfriend's a loser. Wow, it sounds great something they recorded
the podcast here in the studio. That's outstanding.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Alright, So.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I don't know how you taught that. I don't know.
We'll try. Just to the player she brings up right here,
she is this is what she thought football was when
she first started watching the game. Again, this is this
is pre Travis kelcey. My boyfriend's brother's also a big loser.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
That takes care of both of the hosts. Okay, that's fine,
I get it. I get it.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Okay, Well, it's gonna catch some straight. I don't know
that guy behind the camera, he's the engineer producing this podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
He's a looser. The people on the other side of
the glass doing this thing let's try again. Let's see.
Here's what she thought football was when she first started watching.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Patrick Mahomes can't throw a ball for his life.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
That's a different voice. That's a different.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Voice her Elmo knows where you live.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
That was her. You never said that about I could
throw football. I don't know what you're talking about. I
just got to throw a pass and then make sure
everything is fine my brother and my wife. The headlines
aren't you know, nothing's happened on social media. And I'll
throw a pass and then we'll go on. Gotta dad too.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
You're drifted too close to Jerry Jones.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
And I gotta say, you know, I would would love
to have the Mahomes kid went to Texas Tech, tried
to draft him, inadvertently drafted his dad, and wound up
holding the Mets as a part.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Of it because you know it's where he was. Yeah,
Mahomes kid. Uh so uh then uh realized I had
to sell the Mets and uh, you know, didn't make
any money on a deal, but that but still with
the cowboy, Good morning to you. What do we have?
What's happening? What's happening now? We'll call back the last night.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Tell me you didn't go watch some clips after the show.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Oh, I watched the Best of d last night.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Yeah, absolutely, I watched the episode of Shirley's Cookies.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, oh okay. Did you see the episode where Dwayne
had the footpad the system and picking football games and
he won like ten weeks in a row. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, I remember trying to go through that system,
going okay, so he does this, he does this, He
does this like like it was real, Like I would
go as a kid like it was real.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
But think about it in the animated world, it's always
you know, in South Park. Even joked about it. Simpsons
did it? Simpsons did it? This is one where What's
Happening predated Lisa's gambling acumen helping Homer. How about that?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
In fact, I think I remember the game where the
gambler or the bookie who was who what you wanted
to cash in on Dwayne's football picks busted because because
Dwayne picked Tampa Bay was back when Tampa Bay was
turned like nineteen seventy seven, right, And he says, Tampa
beats Dallas ten to seven. That's the biggest upset of
the year, Tampa ten seven. Because his whole thing was
the team with the fancier helmets always wins.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
So guy buccaneer helmets at that point.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Oh yeah, absolutely better helmet. I think you could argue, oh,
what was better the you know, the pirate helmet with
the sword in the mouth or the Cowboys star. Okay,
so he picked Tampa to beat Dallas ten seven. I
remember the final score. They're listening on the radio or
watching our DV and Dallas now leaves forty nine to
seven with two minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
Like the guy busted all his money.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Give me a November tenth, nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Oh wow, you did the episth nice, all right, so
let's try one more time. Here is Taylor Swift talking
about what she thought football was when she first started watching.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I don't know who loves McDonald's more, Jason Smith or
Andy Reid.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh oh that's me, that's me. That's absolutely me, because
he does the commercial for whatever that generic. You know, Hey,
let me give me some of those nugget no chance.
Oh that is true. I don't eat the bread anymore.
I don't eat the bread.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Wasn't he always uh touting the greatness of Tommy Burger.
Uh okay, southern California, wasn't that? I love?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Oh dude, the chili a Tommy Burger is days.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Have you ever tried to run after Tommy Burger?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Have I? You say, have I ever had me?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I know you?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
No, dude, Tommy Burger. I get the chili. It's so good.
It's exactly what I mean, so heavy, Like I get
a I get like a uh not like a pint
of chili, and it's like twenty with straw. Oh no, no,
you can't know, you can't. You can't. You can't eat
with a straw. You need you need a really, you
need an industrial spoon to be able to grab that eat.
(22:48):
Oh it's it's so good, oh Man said, Now I
want to I want to Tommy Burger, Tommy Burger. Uh okay.
So so there it is. Okay, So let me have
some of those nuggies, Patrick, give me some of those.
Give me some of those.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Here's Taylor Swift talking about what she thought football was
when she first started watching Ben Mail is my favorite.
I keep waiting, I can't. I keep waiting with the
voice being so like that, I keep waiting for it
(23:20):
to hear. Look at my hooves. I keep keep waiting
for that line to come, like you just keep that.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I mean it's like the uh that thing where you
were betting. Uh you know, the sit and spin thing.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh sure, I had one of those when I was
a kid, when you said, and oh my goodness, and
with Joey you do is get dizzy?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, I mean you got that or you got that,
you know the barn animal thing? Hey, what's the what
animal is gonna make a sound? And you're betting on
it like you're on the King of Queens.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
She clearly has nothing good to say. Shot her keep
it moving.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
But but but her whine about how I first, I
get your anti chiefs, I get your anti Travis Kelsey,
I guys, has nothing to do with me.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I get.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I understand you think we actually rolled on it as hilarious.
I know he rolled on it because MONSI played in
her update like an hour ago. I know we haven't
because she's got it.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
No, she didn't.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Know.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
You deleted it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Out of the system. That's out of the system. It's
not there anymore. It's not there anymore. Uh So what
she said was she thought football was Jared Goff and
Josh Allen on the field at the same time wrestling
each other. Yeah, which that she's thought football was like
these guys are the quarterbacks got and they fought each
other and all kinds of stuff, And I thought, well,
she said that. I thought, Man, if that was the case,
(24:37):
I think the Jets would win a lot of games.
Cause I think Justin Fields will be able to beat
the crap out of a lot of people. He's built,
he's a big dude, he's Buffy's young. Like, if it
was quarterback fighting another quarterback, I think the Jets could
go like twelve and five. I mean, there's certain guys
I think maybe it beats a little bit tougher for him.
Josh Allen's a big dude. He might be tough, but
like I would take fields over my homes, I would
take fields over Jalen Hurts. I think I think the
(24:58):
Jets could go twelve and five with quarterbacks fighting each other.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Look at that. I mean, we got to go through
their schedule two wins in this that way. How about
how about we look at the schedule through that prism.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I mean, think about this. Okay, they do all.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Two seventy two in the vein of the tailor's swift.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I mean, maybe maybe they lose. Maybe we lose both
to Buffalo, right, but maybe we squeak one out. But okay,
we lose, but we beat the Dolphins twice because just
because Fields beats up to or twice beats up Drake
May twice. So that's four and two in division. All
of a sudden, All of a sudden, I'm thinking, Hey,
we can make a big playoff run here.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
That would be the best.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Who do you think? Who do you think wins?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Since Sanchez was.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
We open up against the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers. Who's
winning that? Justin fields? Or Aaron Rodgers justin fields? We
start one to Oh, things are great.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I don't know. Rogers has a powerful mind. He might
know that great. Can hear stuff? You think Anchorman two
would take you down? No?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
No, not even close, man, not even he would try,
and he but it his mind. It would end early.
He's look, he's already skittish in the pocket enough running
back throwing off his back foot. What it'd be like
if he had to throw a punch off his back foot.
It's not gonna lamb with anything, because I know that's
what's gonna happen. Oh I don't want to get hit.
But here goes Justin Fields.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I'm telling you, man, he is a tough dude. But
you have to be to you know, be a thousand
yard runner. Just think about that. I mean, twelve and five,
four and two in division, we'd win opening week against
the Steelers one hundred percent. Man.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
You know, by tomorrow night, I am going to go
through the two seventy two and we were gonna.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Break it down. Who would by.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Taylor Swift fighting that starve starters.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
The started quarterbacks. That's how you forget about the rest
of the roster. If they fought, who would win and
what the record would be, and then you see like
what the what the playoff bracket would look like.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Wow, the Jets are twelve and five. Okay, I think
this is fun. I did I think this is this
is a good bit.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I like it. I like it.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Well, I'll extrapolate, I'll build boards, We'll get a.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Ton I mean that might be. I mean that might
be the only way to win. But you know, I'm
thinking right now, Okay, if it's a regular season for
the Jets, Okay, if they go eight to nine, nine,
I can see them having that kind of run this year.
Because the defense is good, they're gonna run the football
a thousand times. I know, I understand, I I get it.
But if it was fighting, like I really think they
could make a run here, man, I mean really they could,
(27:11):
because look, they would, it would, they would, they would.
They would win the first game, right you start out,
want to know thinking, great, hey we beat the Steelers,
beat our rivals, it's awesome. You lose to Buffalo. I
would take fields over Baker Mayfield. I'd take fields over
to us. So now we're three and one, then well,
Dak Dak might be hurt by then, so maybe we
win there. Uh then it don't.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Joe Milton's gotten a lot, I mean, want Milton might
as well be throwing a football over the mountain.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I'll give that one to Dallas. And I'll give that
one to Dallas.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
What about Milton from off?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Give that he'll take you down, take care of the
cockroach problem here, and then uh uh so I'll give
us three and two. But then Bo Nicks, Bryce Young,
Joe Burrow, and Joe Flacco. Like that's a five week
run of Jets wins right there. I mean, all of a.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Sudden Joe Burrow might get hurt by his own guy,
and you get when you get to that game. At
this point.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
We're hitting the bye week, going the Jets might have
home field for the quarterback. Fights all the way through
and then coming out of there, then it's okay. Then
it's Drake May again. Then it's Lamar Jacks. Lamar is
tough and he's really fast though. That's God to be
a tough one. But then it's Panix and then it's
two again. Then it's Trevor Lawrence, and then who knows
who the quarterback is for the Saints, Like maybe I'm,
you know, twelve and five. I might be a little
(28:26):
light on it. Maybe it's thirteen and four.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah, no, I think this works. Yeah, I think this
is good. And we have to come up with fighting
nicknames for each of the thirty two.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, hundred percent, yes, yes, And they get
announced like introductions, Oh yeah yeah. They all have music
coming in and the lights go down low. Oh yeah, yeah,
one hundred percent. And it's kind of an octagon, but
it looks like a football field because I have the
turf on that. You know, everybody comes out looking like
they're a quarterback and you know everything one hundred percent.
Jo Yeah, Jets go fourteen thirteen. I'm saying thirteen and
(28:56):
four and we're in the mix for a home home quarterback.
Actually all the way through now we went thirteen to
thirteen and four. Mike's on, Dude, I can't wait to
play the charge. Yah, I go. Love to see Justin Herbert,
Justin Fields, man, give me just right now.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Look at that he's standing up for his guy. He
just said, I'll take this fight.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Give me the thousand yard runner who lowers his head
every single time. Justin Fields could do that. I wish
that was football, and maybe Taylor Swift is powerful enough
to make it happen, because that's what I'd like to see.
Tell how to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. And someone who brought us that SoundBite
from Taylor Swift last hour it has since been a
race from erroneous. It's Monzi Belaya.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Would you like to hear the sounds? Jason?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I think Justin Frostburg will key your car if you
bring it.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
Bring it, Okay, let me know if you want to
hear it, I've got it for you.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But well, let's shot here with baseball.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
The Angels have retaken the lead from the Dodgers in Anaheim.
This is the World Series apparently for the Angels. Logan
o'hoppy with the two RBI single giving Angels the lead
in the eighth inning. They just got going top of
the ninth Moogie Bets had a very close, very close
home run landed on the warning track, and it looks
(30:12):
like they're down to their final out right now.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Angels up six to five.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
As I mentioned earlier today, the Padres won their fifth
straight game, crushing the Giants eleven to one. So right
now San Diego has a half game lead on the
Dodgers in the NL West. Obviously it'll become a full
game if this game ends right now.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
You know, I'm just waiting for the game to end.
So I go, hey, Frost Park, my everynets broken. Who's
in first place in the NL West?
Speaker 7 (30:35):
See why you've started justin See why you started because
of the Taylor Swift sounds, and look at what you've started?
Speaker 3 (30:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
What else has happened today?
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Well, the Twins outscored the Yankees four to one. The
Cubs beat the Blue Jays four to one. Marlins outscored
the Guardians thirteen to thirteen to four. Jacob Marcy for
Miami had seven RBI in that one. The Braves erasist
six run deficit, beating the Mets eleven to six. Michael
Harris with a grand slam shut out the Phillies eight
to zero. Ori'll snap the Mirrors eight game winning streak
(31:04):
thanks to Jackson Holiday. They walked it off four to three.
The Astros top the Red Sox Fuorar to one, so
Houston has a one game lead on the Mariners in
the Al West. In the WNBA, the Aces defeated the
Liberty eighty three to seventy seven. When it comes to
the NFL, you can expect all the starters for the Bears,
including Caleb Williams, to play in their second preseason game
against the Bills. Bills running back James Cook agreed to
(31:26):
a four year, forty eight million dollar extension. Brown's rocky
quarterback Shador Sanders has an oblique injury.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
He's day to day, won't be.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
Practicing Thursday, likely will not play in their second preseason game.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Back to you, guys, Thanks a bunch of monster Yes,
Jason Smith, Mike Harmon Love from the Fox Sports Radio
studios again Quarterbacks Fighting Jets thirteen and four. Coming up next.
An NBA star says, if you think the gambling situation
is bad right now, with players and gambling and potentially
throwing games and fixing things for people who are it's
(32:01):
just gonna get worse. That's next right here. Jason.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
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 (32:13):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,
So coming up in ten minutes. I checked something. I
looked at the Major League Baseball standings, Mike Harmon, and I.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Looked at it.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
I looked at the NL West and I don't see
the Dodgers in first place. I don't see them in
first place.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
No, I don't see.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
But when you look at the playoffs standings, they're in it.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Unlike the Mats. The Mets are in the playoff standings. Not,
yes we are, we have the third card for not
yes we are.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
The playoffs were gonna start today, you are not in them.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah we're in them.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
We're not. Yeah we're the third worldcardently But there's not
a third wild card.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
We're getting rid of it to keep the Mets out
of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
In rewind, you know how sad that is that that
you're actually okay, we're the third wild card.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Dude, look at the teams I root for with it,
if they buy their way into the playoffs, I'm happy
If Steve Cohen says, hey, listen, I know we stunk
for the last three and a half months, but what
if I gave Major League Baseball like a billion dollars
to disperse out how they want? Just let us in
the playoffs. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
You know what, if that question was posed to owners,
it would be fun to watch who would respond? No quickest,
I dare to say it would be Jerry Ryan Storre.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Oh no, no, think about like we talked about him and
the Pirates. No, no, if we talked about that a
few minutes ago, right, like, hey, if football was like
what Taylor Swift thought it was. The beginning was like
Jared Goff and Josh Allen fighting each other on the field,
Like what if that was major League Baseball? The end
of the year, Okay, you know, the division winners make
it and then the teams that want to bid the
most money to give to Major League Baseball. There are
(33:45):
the other teams that get in.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
And then you hear all the speeches from the teams
that don't spend or don't want to spend money, trying
to hey guys, honest, like you know you really want
that play I mean, come on, come on, you know
you really want that playoff Earth. Look, think about the
whole gate you'll get for that one game.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
No that all the all the go fund yourselves out
there going hey you want to It's almost like the hey,
you know, send our guy to the All Star Game,
where they no, don't forget to vote for the final spot.
Send our guy to the All Star Game, and we're
teaming up with the other another team from the other league.
It would be like, hey, come on, guys, put that back.
You want to see us in the playoffs, don't you
put that? Put us over the top. The money stops
(34:23):
getting counted at noon on Tuesday, and then the wild
card matchups are announced. It like you again again. The
Mets would get in because Steve go And would spend
the money. All these changes would benefit my teams. I
can't believe we can't do that. Ah, I should do it.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Uh. Meanwhile, totally overtakes a Major League baseball like.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
This, Uh, really eye opening story out of basketball. Michael
Porter Junior, he won one of the big stars in
the league. His brother has had trouble in the NBA
with gambling issues, and obviously we've talked about this with
the Emmanuel class a story from the last few weeks
where potentially he's being invested out. Potentially he's being investigated
(35:04):
for potentially throwing a prop bet allowing some people to
cash in that the first pitch of one of his
innings was going to be a ball. He threw it
about forty five feet right into the ground. They cleared
out his locker. It's not in Cleveland anymore. His career
might be over. Like that's how big a deal this is.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Well, you got this whole thing going on with Oklahoma's
John Mattier as well.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Right, Oh yeah, yeah, he said, Hey, I was only
kidding with those bet slips, those screenshots of me betting.
I was only kidding. I'm not bet not betting on games.
It was only kidding. I was only kidding.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
We're figuring out how to squeeze out another couple of
hundred million from the betting syndicates, and you want to
invest more on the lower third, come on in.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
You know, Porter does a podcast today and he talks
about how easy it is for stuff like this happen.
He thinks gambling in sports is going to get worse.
He goes, let's just say you tell one of your friends,
these guys you know, come up in the league, say hey,
I can get you a quick ten grand or whatever
it is my prop in tonight's game. I'm gonna play
for a few minutes and then pretend I'm sick or
(36:04):
I'm gonna leave the game, and you'll make money. And
he goes, and guys do that, right, Guys, you know,
guys don't come from anything, will do it. Guys will
do it for their friends if they don't have any money.
You know, guys will do that. And this could wind
up getting worse as it is now because look, you
look class A potentially the investigation, although we've seen it
in the NBA before with prop bets and guys leaving
(36:24):
games early because they were sick or injured. And this
is why I maintain it. We talked about last night
and this is where the state of Ohio and Governor
Mike DeWine wants to introduce a bill to ban prop
betting in sports. And you know, we had that story
last night. Now you have you know, Porter saying what
he said tonight on a podcast today, and honestly, I
(36:46):
feel like that's just going to happen. They're going to
have to do something because eventually the gamblers are gonna
get smarter. It's not it's not gonna be where Hey,
here's we saw this inordinate amount of money come in
from Cleveland on the first pitch of the US inning.
We have to investigate it. Eventually we get smarter, and
they're gonna they're gonna spread money out or they're gonna
spread it over a course of a bunch of different
(37:07):
bets that are gonna go one way. Eventually, gambers are
gonna smart. It's not gonna be easy enough to catch them.
And in fact, I can't believe they still catch them now.
But again, hey, uh, gamblers, but uh, this is the
this is the first sticky wicket they're gonna have to
navigate as far as sports gambling goes, because betting the
props like it's it's an everyday new thing. Right, it's
a brave new world for sports to navigate what's going
(37:30):
on with sports gambling that's not going anywhere. The first
thing is, okay, we got to take care of the
prop bets, and it's gonna be a living organism of
how we're gonna be constantly be redefining the new normal
and what it's like and what we can allow happen,
what we can't allow happen. As gambling continues to get
more and more popular when it comes to the big sports, yes,
you worry about guys getting the players, and and and
and and gamblers inserting themselves. But the first thing on
(37:53):
the docket right now, because what have we seen the
most problems with is prop bets, and there's enough gambling
going on, I think it's pretty easy for the leagues
to get together and say, okay, we're banning these prop
bets that you've seen so far. I think the leagues
get on board with it, and I think the gamblers
get on board with it. I think the the above
board gamblers get on board with it. Vegas gets on
board with it and say, okay, we understand where this
(38:14):
is bad for all of us, So yes, we're going
to ban these prop bets like a rebound for you know,
for a guy leaving a game early, or a first
pitch of an inning, Like, I think those are the
things that's pretty easy to say, we're going to stop these,
and that's the first thing that they're going to fight
along the way.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Yeah, curiosity is we spoke a little bit yesterday with this.
On top of all the other gambling stories that have
circulated and players that have been suspended, there were rumors
that you'd have more guardians lockers cleared out before long.
So we'll wait and see what else comes out of
that investigation. But you know, limiting the dollar amounts the
(38:53):
breadth of prop bets, maybe some of these single event things,
non touchdown, non you know, game define kind of plays
thing go away and are reduced to shadow market kind
of situations because you're never gonna eliminate it entirely. But
the fact that you do have all these checks and
balances are a good thing. Looking at systems and inconsistencies
(39:16):
or in this case, consistencies from class A to where
you might have to hire another couple of sets of eyes.
You know, this is where folks that are retired g
men suddenly have more jobs because you know you're already
running security for a lot of big companies. Now you
come in in your an extra set of eyes for
the books, kind of like the eye Eye and the
Sky and the casinos in Vegas that you now just
(39:39):
apply that discipline somewhere else with the ins and outs
of the games, ex players, some of that stuff that
we talk about all the time.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yeah, if it wasn't so much where both sides wouldn't
be able to see the benefits for both or how hey,
if it goes bad, it can go really sideways for
both of us. I would say it would be harder
for them to come to agreement. But look, it's bad
for VAGA, it's bad for professional sports gambling, it's bad
for the leagues. I think this will be something that's
pretty easy. Again. It'll be the first of many battles
they continue to fight. But I think those prop bet
(40:09):
things they're gonna go away pretty quick. Exit out about
a Fresco exit swollen dome. Coming up next, we get
back into another big story out of the NFL. I
have to change a big, bold prediction that I made
last week because of it
