day today? Well, I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, you said pack the Packers. I mean they're better.
Michael Parsons is obviously the winner and all of it.
He's he's secret options.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
See. Well, but that's easy to say. The guy that
got one hundred eighty eight million dollars today.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That's I'm going Schwarber.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Schwarber really a home run game, Yeah, the second time
it's been done this year. Nine rbs, nine r nine
nine nine just insane four home runs and he's the
twenty first player in Major League Baseball history to do it.
And they did those sweet baby blues. Yeah, they you know,
I feel about the Phillies obviously, but those uniforms are awesome.
(01:40):
Those are those uniforms are awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I start waxing nostalgic for Michael Jack Schmidt and all
those guys run around in those.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And you look at today's day where you had a
lot of NFL teams debut some new alternate uniforms too.
But man, those those Phillies, those blues, and the Phillies
blues and the Cardinals blues the same, like they those
are those like, wow, those are my favorites.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Take you back now, you want to go shopping on
Mitchell and Ness and yeah that's nice. Now, I mean
I sent you the video, you know, Gotham City.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And okay, these are all rivalry jerseys. The teams are
debut and they debuted for the AFC East and the
NFC West. These are jerseys teams are gonna wear during
rivalry weeks later on this year. The Jets uniform is
all black. It looks like the Mets City connect It's
all black and gray. They look like Batman. Like they're
all Batman. We are the hero of this city needs.
(02:29):
I could go for a little bit of green and
like the Mets have that purple accent. I go for
a little bit of green in it, just a tiny
bit like that, Like that would be like that would
be dark, Jason. The Jets do wear Gotham green, Gotham
City Batman.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Did they put the you know, file a trademark on
that and everything? It's their green that I don't know.
If not, we're gonna steal it. Some of those jerseys.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I really like the forty nine Ers jerseys, like the
script on the on the on the numbers on the
Niners jerseys were fantastic. Tell me didn't look at the
bills though, and start singing, Oh mister White Chris. You
know I was. I was thinking when Elsa is making
the big Ice Palace frozen with those jerseys. The thing is,
I like those jersey. I'm coming around to them more.
(03:13):
But the first time I saw him, I said, the
Raiders had these exact jerseys a few years ago, these
exact ones, the white with the gray. But I like
the details on it and the snow, and so I'm
coming around to that Bill's jersey a little bit more now.
But again, maybe a little bit of blue like an accident,
like you go so far away from your team colors,
just give me a tiny bit of Like if the
(03:34):
Jets had that tiny bit of green on the new uniforms,
if the Bills had that tiny bit of blue, like,
it would be so short because blue and white, the snow,
it goes right. It's not something You're not throwing a
color in there that Oh it's burgundy and it doesn't
look great, you know, No, you're throwing blue in there. Now,
which week is is it? These?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Are you at home for that rival we came? Oh,
it's it's because if it's in Buffalo, then do you
bring out adell disease?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Uh to? And instead of the national anthem, it's it's
her singing let it go, yeah and tell me the
crowds I've jacked up about that. Instead of our national anthem,
here is a Dina Menzel singing, let it go. Everybody's singing,
(04:18):
everybody that's got kids or doing the moves and doing
the Elsa moves. Sure, uh so, yes, big day. Like
I thought that would be one of the big NFL
stories we talked about today. But no, no, no, Michael
Parsons got traded.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, got what happens? We fire off a couple of
wings to each other in the morning. There's a couple
of randos, some things you know you're gonna talk about, right,
your guy debuting for the Mets tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, tom time.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We got college football all over the place, my Big
ten teams winning but not exactly instilling a lot of confidence. Great,
row the boat and then you've got everything changes on
a time. Well it takes is one, one text and
a flurry thereafter to change the world.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
So Micah Parsons gets traded today from the Cowboys to
the Packers in exchange for a defensive tackle and two
first round picks. And the thing is, was it shocking? Yes,
I'm sure it was shocking. It was shocking to me
to suddenly see, hey, it happened this fast, because early
this morning the Adam Schefter reported, Hey, the Cowboys are
(05:21):
open to talking to teams they're finally which clearly this
was just a way to uh, you know, the can open,
or to a few hours later, Oh hey, we traded
them away, right, because.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
We thought they were going to sing a few bars
of for the first time and forever someone.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But this wasn't completely shocking to me because we told
you on August first that Micah Parson's situation was going
to end with him getting traded because he did something
on social media, and you gotta follow the cues on
social media. When athletes do things on social media, it's
a really big deal. Right. I go back to we
(06:00):
knew a month and a half before Lebron James went
back to Cleveland all those years ago, because Savannah James's wife,
right after the season ended in Miami, put out a
picture of Akron saying coming home, coming home, and then
it got taken down right away, and the general reaction was, oh, well,
they're going back home to Akron. Now they're excited, you know,
(06:22):
the season's over, they're going about to Cleveland. And we said, no, no,
this is not something you put up saying we're excited
to go home. You can go how many time you
want to, right, you need to this is hey, or
the countdown is real? Is what she said. The countdown
is real, That's what it was. The countdown is real.
You can fly home whenever you want to, right, you
can find whenever you want to go. But the countdown
is real. And we said, he's gonna sign he's going
(06:44):
back to Cleveland. He's going somehow, He's going back to Cleveland.
And he went back to Cleveland, and right, I kind
of feel like Steven A. Smith who was in the beginning.
It was like I had the badness scoop that he
was going to Miami the first time. Yeah, we told
you follow the teaies. When people do things on social media,
when gen Z does something on social media, when millennials,
(07:05):
the younger edge of Milena is because this is a
few years ago, do things on social media, pay attention
because this is not like you or I, you know,
in your forties or your fifties and you're doing social media.
Social media means a lot to the younger athletes and stars.
It's a big deal. There's meetings that Hollywood people have
(07:25):
all the time about what we need to do on Twitter,
what you're doing for free on your Twitter account? What
you need to say pictures you should put up. You
don't people don't you think stars and athletes treat their
Instagram and Twitter like we do? Know they don't. It's
a serious business. And when Micah Parsons on August first
put out on social media, put that big message saying
(07:47):
I no longer want to be here in Dallas because
negotiations went bad, and he detailed about how Jerry Jones
talked to me about a deal. My agent called. They
kind of told us we had a deal already. There's
no new money being offered. We've gone down the with them.
I no longer want to be here. That's not hey,
this is just a negotiating tactic, or this is just
(08:07):
him blowing off steam. When a star athlete goes on
social media and says I no longer want to be here,
that's a really big bleeping deal. Man, that's a big deal.
Especially when you see how do big stars get traded
nowadays you have to say that you have to cross
the rubicon. Why did James Harden and Kevin Durant get
(08:30):
traded because they said, we can't be here anymore. This
is not working. I want out. I want out right now.
Katie gets traded right away. James Harden gets traded right away.
Why's Lebron James not gotten traded by the by the Lakers?
Why has Janis not gotten traded by the Bucks? Because
both of them haven't come out and said I want out.
Giannis is the only one that's done even a little
bit closer with the story from a couple months ago, saying, hey,
(08:52):
my agency is looking to see if this is the
best place for me. We're looking at Okay. If you're
looking out, the team's gonna go, oh yeah, call us
when you demand a trade. So that's why he's still
a Buck. It's why Lebron is still a Laker. If
you want to get traded the Stars, you know the blueprint, right,
you have to go completely to down the road where
there's no turning back from. This is no longer a
place where I can be and I need out. I
(09:15):
want out where we saw the stars in the NBA
do it, and Micah Parsons did it, and I'm sorry
that nobody else saw that. And that's how you've been
beating the drum on this for the past month, saying
he's gonna get traded. I understand that Yeah, it's a
first time around with the money. And it's not the
history that Terry McLaurin has with the Commanders or the
history that Trey Hendrickson has to the Bengals, where the
things get things get a little out of control because
(09:36):
they've been there a long time and they want to
get paid. No, it was personal with Micah Parsons at
that moment. It was personal then. That's why we knew then.
I knew that. I said he's gonna get traded. It's
just gonna be a matter of time until it happens,
and it'll probably happen before the season. Jerry Jones is
backed into a corner. He bid off more than he
could chew with this Micah Parson situation, and that's why
(09:58):
that was the like, I'm so already people didn't see that,
But that's a really big that's a that's a big
red flag. That's a big firework going off. Like that's
a huge set of fireworks going off where you say, oh, yeah,
this is way more realer and close to happening than
anybody wants to. Just because it's the first time we're
hearing about this doesn't mean that it's not that far
(10:18):
down the road. And it was that far down the road.
I knew at that moment, I said, this is not
going to be solved. He has crossed the rubicon. He's
getting traded, and it happens to.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, you can take the W on this one. I'll
take the one. I thought eventually with well.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'm sorry, did I make it seem like I wasn't
taking the W on there because I'm so taking the door.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I'm just saying I'll give you the W because I'll
just say that while I think in for the most part,
this is actually the most astute football move that Jerry's
made in a while.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
A stute I made. That's in astute move. Did we
get a guy named a Stute? Are we gonna got
Arizona State? Really good? We were high on him. We
tried to get the McMillan kid, but you didn't know
about him.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
That's done. But just the idea of having been top
heavy for so long that this potentially gets you out
of it. Now you've got to get past the two
years of the contract for the defensive tackle that you
brought in and year No, exactly, there's no, that's not
a small chunk of change. Like this wasn't just a
all right, that's a good you know, late round draft
pick with some upside that our guys evaluated. We had
(11:24):
them on our border. No, this guy's a ten year
veteran in the National Football League coming off, as you said,
his worst pro season by all accounts. But it's the
idea for Jerry Jones that even if it gets to
def Con one, right, we established it. Really it's de
coon one right. The the more serious or at least
you think it's the most serious and bad bad things
(11:47):
are imminent. Is that you're you're talking about the the
idea of you go to social media and you can
you can walk it back, like we've seen a bunch
of older players do it, old meaning thirty year olds.
Look at Miles Garrett. I want out, I want to
go win, I want everything. Here's a bunch of money.
(12:08):
Cleveland's great, We're gonna win the super Bowl. You have
five maybe twelve quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
On the road.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I don't care. I got paid.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Wonder what's the line they want me to say in
this promo? Let's go?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
So, I mean, you can walk it back, and in
this case it clearly got personal for both sides in
a whole other way after those initial whatever, those clandestine
meetings of Jerry and Micah where they're talking and it's
now fuzzy math and the devil in the details and
what each is gonna give us, right, Jane Slater posted
(12:43):
up he's talking about how Micas told her is basically, well,
they said play on the fifth year or.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Or move Yeah, this was this was, this was within
the last thirty six hours. He went to the Cowboys
to talk about, Okay, is there anything that can be done?
And they told him you're playing on your fifth year
or you're out, and so okay. So that again the
Cowboys weren't going to give him more money, and he
when he was done.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
But again, like again, the part of that is was
that a all right, do us a good faith of
getting on the field. We do play Philadelphia in a
week and we'll work out the final details and go
to where by that point you've crossed the rubicon. You're
you're not coming back without a further deal. Now I
get it, and I'm one of and Mike has actually
(13:30):
done this to college guys, like why can't they honor
their contract? Well, he does have a year left, so
you know, you can use that logic, sure, or could
as Sure. The problem is he's gonna say that's good
for him, That ain't good for me, Mike.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It needs to get paid. See, I feel like, see,
you know, the whole thing with Jerry Jones getting what
he gets. I feel like it was panic. It was
a panic move because he didn't. First of all, he
didn't trade him to the AFC, which you would think
is what he's going to do. You would think that, Okay,
Micah Parsons is out here, I'm not trying to unload
a thirty one year old guy coming off a great
(14:06):
year that hey, people want to trade. This is the
guy you want to build your team around. So wouldn't
you spend a little bit more time seeing what else
is out there? And up it and the fact that
you're saying that we made this to make our team
better so we could stop the run. We gave a
guy a lot of money last year in Dak Prescott,
and it's about getting out from the money you're gonna
pay Micah Parsons, But you're paying Clark twenty million a
(14:29):
year for the next two years to come in Like
all your whole point about saying, hey, we now have
money to go spend someplace else. Well twenty million of
that you just you're paying this guy, Yeah, who's a
twenty nine year old defensive tackle who has seen his
best day. Right, So, like none of this made sense
and I felt like Jay like, instead of this this
all this, this is going on. We tried for a
few days. Now, I felt like, this is a panic move.
(14:50):
And the Packers were the team that said, hey, we
sense blood in the water. We're gonna call. We're gonna call.
We're gonna let Jerry know. We'll trade two first round picks.
Now we got to give him money. Oh, that's gonna
be We're not gonna give up so so, so so
much because we got to give him two hundred million
dollars basically, which is what they did. But that's why
I feel like, Jerry, this was a panic This is
a panic move. You could have got more. You could
have traded him out of the the NFC because now
(15:12):
you've got to play against them this year, and who
knows how you got to go through the playoffs against him.
It was a panicked on it.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah, they play at the end of September in Big
d on Sunday, Night Football. So you got that working
for you. But all of that to say, it's it's
the old distressed property something we talked about here on
the show. We've got sunk costs, we got distressed properties,
and we bring up all the time. Sure while things
might be in a bad spot, and you've now recognized
Jerry Steven whoever else is in that brain trust, All right,
(15:39):
we're not getting this done with Micah. It got personal.
The bridge is too far for us to cross, Like,
this is it. We're gonna have to get rid of him.
You open it and then you take this like you're distress,
like whatever your job loss is divorced. Like there's millions
of reasons people get rid of properties and decide they
have to move. But like in this case, why would
(16:03):
you not wait for the season to start to develop
and let people see how their defense is shaking out.
Now you're telling me you wouldn't get at least this
deal later on, because.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Again I think you would.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Hark is a guy that's in no man's line. I
think you would to trade him now you would have
gotten the most for him because teams can say we
will have him for this whole season close to what
Micah Parsons is whereas if you're trade him the middle
of the season, okay, you're paying him for this season,
which is kind of a lost year. So one year
you got to give him forty million dollars for whatever
it is, and you're only gonna have him for a
(16:36):
couple of months. So I think now was the time
to trade him. But clearly this could have been something
that hey, take an extra couple of days, like it's
only you know, it's Thursday. You know he's playing in
ten days. Micah Parson is kind of a plug and
play guy, but two or whatever you need to right, like,
you know you would have got I can't believe you
didn't get more for it, more picks. And if you
(16:57):
the point was to get out from under money, why
did you take a back that's twenty million a year
for the next year.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Williams have just gotten another two picks wherever they were
it's round, third round, fourth rounds, whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's like, take a fantasy where you see a trade
made and you go, why didn't you call me? I
would have given you more for that guy. Oh I
didn't know. I was kind of talking to him for
the last week or so. Like, I feel like that's
what happened. Like the packers and Cowboy, we're talking talk.
Don't call anybody else. We got these picks. Got the picks, okay,
but that's more for that. How long?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Because I can't think and this is where we you know,
Jerry wants the investigation on the other side. How quickly
this came together where we go from hey, he's we're
not talking about trade, and that's not off the table.
This is all negotiating to they're now considering it to
less than seven hours later, we got one hundred eighty
eight million dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It's just like that.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
It's fuzzy math, It's fuzzy uh, it's a fuzzy clock.
It's like Doc Brown's at the helm for me here.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
But again, it's why we say we're ahead of the Kurt.
We told you a month ago this was gonna happen
because of that social media post, and there it is
full props my friend exit, how about a Fresca exit? Swallen,
don't thank you, my friend. Coming up next, we will
head to Vegas. With the odds for the Cowboys going
all the way down the tubes. What about the odds
for the Packers. What about the other teams in the
(18:15):
NFC North. Plus, we take a look at the big
best bets this week in college football. It's coming up
next right here, Jason and Mike, Fox Sports Radio. For
over forty years, tire Rack's been up and customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack
(18:37):
dot Com is the way tire buying should be. That's
tire rack dot Com. Heaven knows, Jerry didn't try to
keep Micah with the cowboys. Don't answer the phone, don't
train them away to the packers. Now call the AFC.
Maybe the bills will.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Give you something, or maybe the cold. But instead, Jerry,
you let him go. You let him go.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
You let him go to a place that's his cold
as his palace I'm building.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
You let him go. You let him go. Now he's
gonna be wearing green and yellow.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Dropping out, Mike, I wanted to see what your voice
was gonna do next.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Jerry Jones can't run a team the right way. Trade
it away his best player. Now he's got a defensive
tackle end two first rounders that can't help until next year.
How does that make sense?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
In what world?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
MCUI five eighty one fourteen, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
How many comic books that you're gonna go into before
we're down here?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Too many worlds, It's too many worlds. You know, there's
one world, at least one world where Micah Parsons is
going is going to the Hall of Fame as a
Dallas Cowboy. I don't know, I don't know what MCU
world that is, but there's got to be an MCU
world where that's happened.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I kind of like that world. It's Jerry was gonna
be around, bring him in.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's not this one though. It's not six one six,
not aping, no more Ring of Honor possibility either. Oh no, no, no, no,
that's not happened. Micah Parsons is a member of the
Green Bay Packers, the Cowboys making the trade today, shaking
the NFL world with the news. What does this mean
(21:45):
for many teams odds to get to the Super Bowl,
joining us now on the hot line, is nobody better.
Longtime Vegas insider friend of the show Todd Furman. Check
him out on Twitter at Todd Furman. See him on
CBS Sports Line all over the place TSN. He's on
there regularly, Todd. What's happening, man, How are you?
Speaker 8 (22:04):
I'm doing well, gentlemen, But you know what the irony
is in all of this situation that's unfolded in Dallas.
Jerry Jones still runs a better franchise than Whatdy Johnson
does in New York. So the Cowboys always have that.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Man, something that Jared can hang his hat on, regardless
of how old and senile he gets with his contract
negotiations that are in violation of the CBA.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Y'all know about that, because, first of all, actually people
come to the Jets, they actually want to be here.
We are problem. That is that our problem, our problem,
and our problem is bringing in the wrong players. It's
not our star players want to leave. That's a bigger problem.
That's a bigger You gotta gott They gotta be a destination, man,
and we're more of a destination I don't.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Think I've ever heard the Jets described as a destination franchise.
But whatever world you live in, and that job the
prisoners of the moment.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
My friend, Jets have a better head coach, the Jets
have a better general manager, the Jets have have better
across the board, Like I mean, I don't know what
to tell you, that's the truth.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
And they have a win total that's still two games
lower than the Dallas Cowboys because they reside in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
So well, okay on that elson, So what did happen
to the odds of the Dallas Cowboys after the trade
of Michael Parsons today?
Speaker 8 (23:15):
This was a Cowboys team that the market hadn't been
real bullish on going into the season. To begin with,
their win total was largely hung earlier this summer, around
seven and a half, and we haven't seen much in
the way of adjustment for the Dallas Cowboys. You look
at what their number is at some prominent books, and
that's kind of the consensus price tag. Now, if you
want to go over that, you can still get a
little bit of favorable juice working in your favor. A Well, look,
(23:39):
this is a Dallas team that it questions along the
offensive line. They had questions defensively even before they parted
ways with Micah Parsons. And while a lot of people
were thinking this could be a rebound year with a
healthy Dak Prescott, I think the offense is now going
to have to do everything in their power to outscore
some of those defensive deficiencies. So I wouldn't be running
to buy Dallas Cowboys stock anytime soon. But from a
(23:59):
fantasy standpoint, I'm sure having George Pickens on your roster
along with Ceedee Lamb or Deck can potentially pay dividends
if they're in games there at thirty eight to thirty
one every Sunday all fall long.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yeah, I'm now just going to have a split screen
graphic of Dak Prescott and Joe Burrow with me all
year long, both sides at the same coin. In that
regard for the Week one game against the Eagles, was
that already priced in that he wasn't going to play?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Or we see a movement.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
You saw a little bit of movement actually starts trickling
into the market yesterday. The total that got as low
as forty six this summer out to forty seven and
forty seven and a half, And that was amid speculation
that even at Parsons did sign a deal to remain
a member of the Dallas Cowboys, that he wasn't going
to be available for week one, or if he was,
it was probably going to be in a limited capacity.
You also saw the six and a half get cleared
(24:47):
out of the market in favor of a seven. It
wouldn't be surprising to me at all if this number
continued to trend to seven and a half before we
get the kickoff next Thursday night. Going to be tough
for bookmakers to convince people to walk to the window
and bet the Dallas Cowboys in this particular spot. So,
as we always say, the betting market will typically tip
its hand. But I don't think anybody anticipated this kind
of blockbuster deal with Michaeh Parsons being shipped to Green
(25:09):
Bay in exchange for two first round picks Kenny Clark
and the life changing money at roughly forty seven million
a year that he was able to lock down.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
All right, So now that Micah Parsons is a member
of the Green Bay Packers, we talked about the other
three teams that hate this trade the most. The Vikings,
the Bears and the Lions. What does this do for
the odds of those all four of those NFC North
teams With the Packers getting Micah Parsons and now the
other teams, you know, now it's going to be a
little bit more, much more difficult for them to do
what they want to do this year.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
Yeah, the Packers really become the beneficiary from an odds perspective.
They move themselves into that second tier. I kind of
say that the first tier as it stands as the Ravens, Bills,
Eagles and Chiefs. You can say what you want picking
out flaws for any of those four teams and you
wouldn't be wrong. But the Packers go from a team
price and at sixteen eighteen to one range now more
or less mentioned in the same breath as the APT
(25:58):
four mentioned Detroy Lyons. And if you look the dynamics
specifically as it pertains to how the pecking order will
unfold in the NFC North, we've seen some prominent books
actually move the Green Bay Packers ahead of the Detroit
Lions and make them a favorite. The Vikings and Bears
still there picking up their rear. So when you have
that kind of talent. In the short term, it makes
a dynamic defense, you know, that much better and a
(26:20):
group that's going to benefit emnseally from one of the
premier pass rushers in the league. I think the biggest
question Packers fans will have now is when will they
see Michael Parsons make his debut in a full capacity. Look,
I don't expect them to be out there week one
against the Lions. Green Bay has a short week before
they'll take on the Commanders on Thursday night, So in
my opinion, you probably won't see him get his full
snapshare until week three. If his back issue is in
(26:42):
a looming thing that can hang over this potential trade
and limits of his effectiveness on the field.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, I hope you look at his chops because week three,
if I'm right, they've got the Browns, so you can
go and take out Joe Flacco.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
It doesn't hurt when you're trying to get into the
backfield to attack a statue at that point.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
In his career.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
So if Micah wanted to buy his time, that would
not be the worst landing spot. And then, gentlemen, what
do we have on the schedule for the Green Bay
pack Sunday Night Football. At the end of September, Micah
Parsons gets to make his triumphant return home and I
have to imagine he will be cheered by Cowboys fans
and Jarrod will be the one drawing the ire of
their disdain.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
What did it do for their overall number for the
NFC title and the Winds total because they were at
nine and a half.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
Yeah, number shortened a little bit and we saw the
juice flip a touch for green Bay, You're not going
to see that much in the way of movement on
some of those particular markets. What I do think is
fascinating is Micah was already, you know, mentioned amongst the
favorites for Defensive Player of the Year, and I've seen
some books shorten his odds to a price tag of
less than two to one. For me, it's pretty wild
(27:50):
if anybody is running the window to try and back
him at that number. But I think it's books doing
as much to kind of protect potential liability accumulating there.
As people are always prisoner of the moment. I want
to gravitate towards that shiny object and in today's NFL world,
Michael Parsons that very definition of.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Such Todd Furman, Vegas inside of our guest. All right,
so let's head to college football. You know, we're seeing
games tonight and everyone's kind of starting to get in
the mode. This weekend belongs to college football. Clearly no
game bigger than Texas Ohio State. What are your thoughts
on this one, because now after tonight we start the
countdown to Texas Ohio State.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
You know, if we use tonight as an indication, hopefully
folks who are looking about underdogs, underdogs on the main
rotation goes seven to one against the number. The only
favorite that gets there is Wyoming over Acron and the
true barnburner of the entire weekend Wyoming out lasting the
Zips ten nothing in a game that maybe sets football
back one hundred plus years as far as the Marquee
games are concerned.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Though.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
Look, we have a couple of fun games tomorrow night
to kick things off. You know, Baylor and Auburn doing battle,
two teams that would love to try and kickstart their
season and keep their respective head coaches off the hot seat.
And then anytime that Dion is available in prime time,
you know they are going to be eyeball there with
Colorado a short home underdog in Georgia Tech. But in
terms of the marquee matchups, look books have told me
that Texas continues to get a ton of attention in
(29:08):
the betting market. I was stunned to see a prominent
book out here in the Desert actually moved Texas to
a one point favorite after they took a substantial six
figure bet. I think there's a lot of expectations around
this Texas team being able to exact a measure of
revenge for a playoff game that got away from them,
thinking that Archie Maning's going to hit the ground running,
and questions more importantly on the Ohio State side, not
(29:28):
just about the quarterback position and Julian sand and what
he'll be able to do, but a new offensive coordinator
and a new defensive coordinator. But I'd be very intrigued
as the Buckeyes continue to drift out and the other
two big games LSU and Clemson. Look, I think LSU
one of the more talented teams in the country, right
there with Clemson, and it wouldn't surprise me at all
if that number started a trend towards a field goal
with LSU taking money. And then on Sunday, I expect
(29:51):
a somewhat lower scoring game between Notre Dame and Miami,
two teams that are going to be very comfortable running
the football and trying to force their opponents to methodically
move the ball down the field.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
All right, last one, Jime be remiss if we didn't
revisit it something we've been talking about a lot as
we get into MVP odds and fund. Kyle schwarber tonight
four home run game gives him forty nine on the
year and starting to get a little bit of a
ground well of support.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
It's nothing else is the market moving it?
Speaker 8 (30:18):
All?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Last I looked it was still plus sixteen hundred to
try to upend show Hao Tani.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Yeah, look, I mean apparently JP Morosi was rubbing his
crystal ball when he was on with you guys earlier
in this week saying that this race was significantly closer.
You looked at the betting odds at that time and
show Heyo Tani was a runaway favorite. But what has
Kyle Schwarber done by virtue becoming the twenty first player
in Major League Baseball history hit four home runs in
a game. His odds have shrunk from sixteen to one
to win NLMVP now down to five to one, show
(30:47):
Hayes price coming down substantially as well, So maybe it
truly will be a two horse race over the final
twenty to twenty five games. You know, Schwarber providing all
of that power in the Phillies lineup, and when you
have the kind of headline game that he did tonight,
it turns plenty of eyeballs and may want to go
in a different direction. So that race has tightened up some. Meanwhile,
in the American League at two horse race as well,
(31:08):
Aaron Jodge's slight favorite in that minus a dollar sixty
range Cal Rawley at plus a dollar thirty. I think
that one will come down to the final games of
the regular season. Should be fun to watch in both
respective leagues, and I think team success could play a
factor as well in terms of which player ultimately emerges
a top to heat in both the American League and
National League MVP market.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
He's on Twitter at Todd Ferman, that is at Todd Furman,
and he says his best bet of the week in
college football Syracuse and Tennessee take the Orange team.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
No one you can count on for sure. I thought
you were going to tell me it was the Orange
money line, and I was gonna have to say my
connection was starting to break up.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Take it easy, money. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Always a pleasure, guys, Appreciate.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
It, Todd Banks, great stuff from Todd Furman, right there.
Look tomorrow it'll be a big college football night, previewing
the big week when we got Colorado and Action tomorrow.
Tomorrow is gonna be fun. Tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Man, Oh, there's so much going on. The trade went
down tonight, so it's okay. Well, I mean you got
to keep your headlines. Yeah, yeah, no, that's true. Uh,
time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. And someone who's been called the Dion
Sanders of Fox Sports Radio because she's.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Got time for this today, it's I do have time
for this today. I had no time for the update.
I would say, okay, we have time for the update.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I do know I have time for the update, plenty
of time.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
But you know, it's what you say.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
I was like, I I thought of, oh, maybe I
could dress up as Dion Sanders for Halloween. I can
get some shades.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Yeah, I'm gonna put on like a like a salt
pepper beard. Sure, sure, the Colorado hoodie, the Colorado hoodie
and the baggy pants or the white no no, no,
white cowboy hat? White cow Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Without knowing you, I would guess you have three different
color cowboy hats at home.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
I don't even have one.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Really, I.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Thought you've had like seven.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I have no, I have three.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
I think I don't have a single.
Speaker 9 (33:04):
Do you have a white one that I can re
borrow for Halloween? I don't have a cowboy hot I
can get one. I'm sure I can get my hands
on one. So that might be what I do for
Halloween this year. All right, what's going on in the
world of sports? Well, we're gonna start with the US Open,
because this is going on right now.
Speaker 7 (33:18):
Tommy Paul, fourteen seed Tommy Paul on the men's side,
won the first two sets of a second round match,
and now it's like coming down to.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
The fourth set and they are tied at five games
a piece. So we'll see if this one goes down
to the wire.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
Fourteen seed Tommy Paul, one seed Janick Center already won
his second round match. He did it in straight sets
on the women's side. Two seed he gets Fiatik and
three seed Cocoa Golf. They're advancing to the third round,
so good for them. When it comes to college football,
South Florida crushed number twenty five Boise State thirty four
to seven. When it comes to baseball, Yankees beat the
(33:52):
White Sox ten four. Marlins outscore the met seven to four.
And speaking of four, Kyle Schwarber have four homers. He
had a total rbi. Phillies crushed the Braves nineteen to four.
Schoreber leads the league with one hundred and nineteen RBI.
He leads the National League with forty nine homers, both
their career highs for him as well. In college hoops,
Rick Barnes has signed a lifetime contract with Tennessee Committee
(34:14):
to be their coach for the rest of his career.
And of course, the big story of the day comes
out of the NFL, as the Cowboys traded their star
pass rusher Michael Parsons to the Packers for two first
round draft picks and three time Pro Bowl defensive tackle
Kenny Clark. Parsons also already agreed to a four year,
one hundred and eighty eight million dollar extension with Green Bay,
making him the highest paid on a quarterback in NFL history.
(34:36):
And if you have not drafted for your fantasy football
team yet, Tampa Bay Buccaneers today announced that they expect
wide receiver Chris Godwin to miss at least the first
month of the season as he recovers from that ankle injury.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Did you draft today and drafted Chris Godwin? Is that
what happened? Oh?
Speaker 7 (34:52):
But you know, you just got it's good to know
ahead of time, you know, the thing with like Joe Mixon, Like, yeah,
so I drafted him before the news came out that
he was not in another lead.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
My favorite draft story of because I'll tell this, I
got time for this today. This is back when we
would do the draft like everybody's in a room together. Yeah,
and it was always fun. And so this one owner
stood up and wanted to show that they knew everything,
knew everything about and stood up and said, I'm taking
someone that none of you have heard of that's gonna
be the next star receiver in the NFL. Is like
(35:25):
in the eighth round, nine round, I'm taking Jake Reid
and the commissioner and we're all sitting there going the
commissioner goes, that's your pick. Yeah, Jake read okay, And
then he goes and the person says, that's the and
and so none of all of you guys are gonna
like like eat dust or whatever it was. All you
guys are gonna eat dust. And then that person sat
down and the commissioner said, yeah, he's out for the year,
(35:46):
torn A cl but that's your pick, Like, oh my god,
that's my favorite because we all knew, like, how does
this person think. None of us that were like, oh really,
I don't know that. And then well I don't want
to draft him. No, No, that's your pets. You stood
up in the room, and so on, everybody. We're taking
Jay towards Acli.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Well, it's like that guy that went viral last week
slapping Brian Robinson's name in the Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Hey wrong Robinson.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
At least he's on a team.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Oh, he's going to be a factor too. He's gonna
check out the podcast. I watch Fletch.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
I did pick him up on one of my leagues.
Really good and he's any healthy and you're good yeah
coming up next. Hey, Speaking of college football, most of
college football is rejoicing in a large way after what
happened tonight. That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. So I'm gonna ask you this real
fast me. Who had a worst day? Yeah? We did?
Who had the best day?
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Was it the Packers or Kyle.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Schwarber SpongeBob still number one with the best day ever?
Who had the worst day? Jerry Jones or the woman
running on the field at the UCF game tonight.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Bad move? Yeah, no, bad move.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
She got the worst of it. Jerry at least can
delude himself that everything was right. Yeah, it'll work out
that he got parts of it right. Yeah, bit it
on others.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
This woman, uh, just that was just silly.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
At the Central Florida game tonight. She's running on the
field and it looks like I can't tell if it's
a student, but you think it probably is. It's rain
all over, people are slipping, and she just gets absolutely
blown up by one of the security guards who comes
out of nowhere and just back like Micah Parsons getting
in the backfield, like getting the quarterback.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
But there's a couple of seconds where it's like, all right,
she's gotta going slowly back and forth, but she's not stopping. Right, Yeah,
just stop, it's done.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
If you keep moving like.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
That, eventually you're getting trucked. Yeah, you've seen that time
and again. Now you know, I get that, but I
feel like, okay, you're gonna get I get it some beat, Harrison.
You can't catch. It's a field, but wow, I mean
they're running on the field and it's you know they're
not you know they didn't they didn't steal a gun
out of a out of a security guards or rob
a bank. You know they didn't do anything. They're running
on the field and you get hit that. This is
(38:14):
a couple of times we've seen people kids get hit
really hard. This is a slippery slope to be on,
man like, we've seen it now a couple of times.
That's I think you can back off that.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
There will be lawyers, you can back off, no question
about that. UCF takes it takes it down a seventeen
to ten win over Jacksonville State in that one. But
you know, part of me starts singing the Chicago song
in my in my head, he had it coming.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Now, hey, speaking of you out of coming. There is
a big party going on in college football tonight because
Boise State lost all the big ten SEC acc I
guess I'll put myself in there.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Yeah, celebrate it while you can't.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
They sit back and say, all right, now, Boise State
losing opening night, twenty fifth RIND team in the country,
do not have to worry about the undefeated Boise State
snatching a playoff berth from my three loss SEC team.
That really isn't fair because they play a bad schedule. Now,
don't have to worry about it. Now, Boise State is
(39:18):
not gonna snatch that bid from you. A right. I
know it makes you nervous, But now there's a big
party because hey, Boise State low they got they got
blown out, lost, Like this is not Rarey. We'll get
things right. Goal eleven ones on the get back in it.
So Boise State getting blown out tonight showing two things.
A they are out of the mix, don't have to
worry about them snatching a bid from you in the playoff.
(39:39):
And b boy, they really miss action genty Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I no, certainly, there's gonna be a lot of it's
so hard to say goodbye and celebration of some of
his great moments. I mean, look, the guy touched the
ball four hundred times.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Yeah, of productivity to replace, there's no question about it.
I gotta ask my daughter, you know, when I get
a chance. She's at right now, but you know she's
thinking of nursing school at Boise State.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Does this change?
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (40:04):
This makes it cheaper. It's a lot cheaper now, it's
not so much a destination whatever it is. It's like
four thousand dollars a year cheaper after tonight. Okay, so
that'll be good.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Now. Does Bois normally play well in openers?
Speaker 1 (40:16):
That's the question? Well, boys usual boy boy boys.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
He usually ends up eleven and one even one and
they's name on the schedule. That's that's the reclamation, right,
that is if they can go and win that game. No,
that's not chaos and.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Soon now that's when people will be rooting for Boys
State because they don't want Notre Dame in there. So
they'll be right, We're going to have that both happen. Yeah,
But that's I'm not worried about boys, I'm not. I'm
not worried about Boise State running the table after the
opening night by twenty seven four seven. Well, I mean
it is a tune up game. I mean you don't know. Okay,
all right, I'm not too worried about that now, Karen
(40:52):
notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
I mean I take the bold strategy and say this
isn't like say, Florida State losing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:00):

day today? Well, I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, you said pack the Packers. I mean they're better.
Michael Parsons is obviously the winner and all of it.
He's he's secret options.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
See. Well, but that's easy to say. The guy that
got one hundred eighty eight million dollars today.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That's I'm going Schwarber.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Schwarber really a home run game, Yeah, the second time
it's been done this year. Nine rbs, nine r nine
nine nine just insane four home runs and he's the
twenty first player in Major League Baseball history to do it.
And they did those sweet baby blues. Yeah, they you know,
I feel about the Phillies obviously, but those uniforms are awesome.
(01:40):
Those are those uniforms are awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I start waxing nostalgic for Michael Jack Schmidt and all
those guys run around in those.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And you look at today's day where you had a
lot of NFL teams debut some new alternate uniforms too.
But man, those those Phillies, those blues, and the Phillies
blues and the Cardinals blues the same, like they those
are those like, wow, those are my favorites.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Take you back now, you want to go shopping on
Mitchell and Ness and yeah that's nice. Now, I mean
I sent you the video, you know, Gotham City.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And okay, these are all rivalry jerseys. The teams are
debut and they debuted for the AFC East and the
NFC West. These are jerseys teams are gonna wear during
rivalry weeks later on this year. The Jets uniform is
all black. It looks like the Mets City connect It's
all black and gray. They look like Batman. Like they're
all Batman. We are the hero of this city needs.
(02:29):
I could go for a little bit of green and
like the Mets have that purple accent. I go for
a little bit of green in it, just a tiny
bit like that, Like that would be like that would
be dark, Jason. The Jets do wear Gotham green, Gotham
City Batman.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Did they put the you know, file a trademark on
that and everything? It's their green that I don't know.
If not, we're gonna steal it. Some of those jerseys.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I really like the forty nine Ers jerseys, like the
script on the on the on the numbers on the
Niners jerseys were fantastic. Tell me didn't look at the
bills though, and start singing, Oh mister White Chris. You
know I was. I was thinking when Elsa is making
the big Ice Palace frozen with those jerseys. The thing is,
I like those jersey. I'm coming around to them more.
(03:13):
But the first time I saw him, I said, the
Raiders had these exact jerseys a few years ago, these
exact ones, the white with the gray. But I like
the details on it and the snow, and so I'm
coming around to that Bill's jersey a little bit more now.
But again, maybe a little bit of blue like an accident,
like you go so far away from your team colors,
just give me a tiny bit of Like if the
(03:34):
Jets had that tiny bit of green on the new uniforms,
if the Bills had that tiny bit of blue, like,
it would be so short because blue and white, the snow,
it goes right. It's not something You're not throwing a
color in there that Oh it's burgundy and it doesn't
look great, you know, No, you're throwing blue in there. Now,
which week is is it? These?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Are you at home for that rival we came? Oh,
it's it's because if it's in Buffalo, then do you
bring out adell disease?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Uh to? And instead of the national anthem, it's it's
her singing let it go, yeah and tell me the
crowds I've jacked up about that. Instead of our national anthem,
here is a Dina Menzel singing, let it go. Everybody's singing,
(04:18):
everybody that's got kids or doing the moves and doing
the Elsa moves. Sure, uh so, yes, big day. Like
I thought that would be one of the big NFL
stories we talked about today. But no, no, no, Michael
Parsons got traded.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, got what happens? We fire off a couple of
wings to each other in the morning. There's a couple
of randos, some things you know you're gonna talk about, right,
your guy debuting for the Mets tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, tom time.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We got college football all over the place, my Big
ten teams winning but not exactly instilling a lot of confidence. Great,
row the boat and then you've got everything changes on
a time. Well it takes is one, one text and
a flurry thereafter to change the world.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
So Micah Parsons gets traded today from the Cowboys to
the Packers in exchange for a defensive tackle and two
first round picks. And the thing is, was it shocking? Yes,
I'm sure it was shocking. It was shocking to me
to suddenly see, hey, it happened this fast, because early
this morning the Adam Schefter reported, Hey, the Cowboys are
(05:21):
open to talking to teams they're finally which clearly this
was just a way to uh, you know, the can open,
or to a few hours later, Oh hey, we traded
them away, right, because.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
We thought they were going to sing a few bars
of for the first time and forever someone.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But this wasn't completely shocking to me because we told
you on August first that Micah Parson's situation was going
to end with him getting traded because he did something
on social media, and you gotta follow the cues on
social media. When athletes do things on social media, it's
a really big deal. Right. I go back to we
(06:00):
knew a month and a half before Lebron James went
back to Cleveland all those years ago, because Savannah James's wife,
right after the season ended in Miami, put out a
picture of Akron saying coming home, coming home, and then
it got taken down right away, and the general reaction was, oh, well,
they're going back home to Akron. Now they're excited, you know,
(06:22):
the season's over, they're going about to Cleveland. And we said, no, no,
this is not something you put up saying we're excited
to go home. You can go how many time you
want to, right, you need to this is hey, or
the countdown is real? Is what she said. The countdown
is real, That's what it was. The countdown is real.
You can fly home whenever you want to, right, you
can find whenever you want to go. But the countdown
is real. And we said, he's gonna sign he's going
(06:44):
back to Cleveland. He's going somehow, He's going back to Cleveland.
And he went back to Cleveland, and right, I kind
of feel like Steven A. Smith who was in the beginning.
It was like I had the badness scoop that he
was going to Miami the first time. Yeah, we told
you follow the teaies. When people do things on social media,
when gen Z does something on social media, when millennials,
(07:05):
the younger edge of Milena is because this is a
few years ago, do things on social media, pay attention
because this is not like you or I, you know,
in your forties or your fifties and you're doing social media.
Social media means a lot to the younger athletes and stars.
It's a big deal. There's meetings that Hollywood people have
(07:25):
all the time about what we need to do on Twitter,
what you're doing for free on your Twitter account? What
you need to say pictures you should put up. You
don't people don't you think stars and athletes treat their
Instagram and Twitter like we do? Know they don't. It's
a serious business. And when Micah Parsons on August first
put out on social media, put that big message saying
(07:47):
I no longer want to be here in Dallas because
negotiations went bad, and he detailed about how Jerry Jones
talked to me about a deal. My agent called. They
kind of told us we had a deal already. There's
no new money being offered. We've gone down the with them.
I no longer want to be here. That's not hey,
this is just a negotiating tactic, or this is just
(08:07):
him blowing off steam. When a star athlete goes on
social media and says I no longer want to be here,
that's a really big bleeping deal. Man, that's a big deal.
Especially when you see how do big stars get traded
nowadays you have to say that you have to cross
the rubicon. Why did James Harden and Kevin Durant get
(08:30):
traded because they said, we can't be here anymore. This
is not working. I want out. I want out right now.
Katie gets traded right away. James Harden gets traded right away.
Why's Lebron James not gotten traded by the by the Lakers?
Why has Janis not gotten traded by the Bucks? Because
both of them haven't come out and said I want out.
Giannis is the only one that's done even a little
bit closer with the story from a couple months ago, saying, hey,
(08:52):
my agency is looking to see if this is the
best place for me. We're looking at Okay. If you're
looking out, the team's gonna go, oh yeah, call us
when you demand a trade. So that's why he's still
a Buck. It's why Lebron is still a Laker. If
you want to get traded the Stars, you know the blueprint, right,
you have to go completely to down the road where
there's no turning back from. This is no longer a
place where I can be and I need out. I
(09:15):
want out where we saw the stars in the NBA
do it, and Micah Parsons did it, and I'm sorry
that nobody else saw that. And that's how you've been
beating the drum on this for the past month, saying
he's gonna get traded. I understand that Yeah, it's a
first time around with the money. And it's not the
history that Terry McLaurin has with the Commanders or the
history that Trey Hendrickson has to the Bengals, where the
things get things get a little out of control because
(09:36):
they've been there a long time and they want to
get paid. No, it was personal with Micah Parsons at
that moment. It was personal then. That's why we knew then.
I knew that. I said he's gonna get traded. It's
just gonna be a matter of time until it happens,
and it'll probably happen before the season. Jerry Jones is
backed into a corner. He bid off more than he
could chew with this Micah Parson situation, and that's why
(09:58):
that was the like, I'm so already people didn't see that,
But that's a really big that's a that's a big
red flag. That's a big firework going off. Like that's
a huge set of fireworks going off where you say, oh, yeah,
this is way more realer and close to happening than
anybody wants to. Just because it's the first time we're
hearing about this doesn't mean that it's not that far
(10:18):
down the road. And it was that far down the road.
I knew at that moment, I said, this is not
going to be solved. He has crossed the rubicon. He's
getting traded, and it happens to.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, you can take the W on this one. I'll
take the one. I thought eventually with well.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'm sorry, did I make it seem like I wasn't
taking the W on there because I'm so taking the door.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I'm just saying I'll give you the W because I'll
just say that while I think in for the most part,
this is actually the most astute football move that Jerry's
made in a while.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
A stute I made. That's in astute move. Did we
get a guy named a Stute? Are we gonna got
Arizona State? Really good? We were high on him. We
tried to get the McMillan kid, but you didn't know
about him.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
That's done. But just the idea of having been top
heavy for so long that this potentially gets you out
of it. Now you've got to get past the two
years of the contract for the defensive tackle that you
brought in and year No, exactly, there's no, that's not
a small chunk of change. Like this wasn't just a
all right, that's a good you know, late round draft
pick with some upside that our guys evaluated. We had
(11:24):
them on our border. No, this guy's a ten year
veteran in the National Football League coming off, as you said,
his worst pro season by all accounts. But it's the
idea for Jerry Jones that even if it gets to
def Con one, right, we established it. Really it's de
coon one right. The the more serious or at least
you think it's the most serious and bad bad things
(11:47):
are imminent. Is that you're you're talking about the the
idea of you go to social media and you can
you can walk it back, like we've seen a bunch
of older players do it, old meaning thirty year olds.
Look at Miles Garrett. I want out, I want to
go win, I want everything. Here's a bunch of money.
(12:08):
Cleveland's great, We're gonna win the super Bowl. You have
five maybe twelve quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
On the road.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I don't care. I got paid.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Wonder what's the line they want me to say in
this promo? Let's go?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
So, I mean, you can walk it back, and in
this case it clearly got personal for both sides in
a whole other way after those initial whatever, those clandestine
meetings of Jerry and Micah where they're talking and it's
now fuzzy math and the devil in the details and
what each is gonna give us, right, Jane Slater posted
(12:43):
up he's talking about how Micas told her is basically, well,
they said play on the fifth year or.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Or move Yeah, this was this was, this was within
the last thirty six hours. He went to the Cowboys
to talk about, Okay, is there anything that can be done?
And they told him you're playing on your fifth year
or you're out, and so okay. So that again the
Cowboys weren't going to give him more money, and he
when he was done.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
But again, like again, the part of that is was
that a all right, do us a good faith of
getting on the field. We do play Philadelphia in a
week and we'll work out the final details and go
to where by that point you've crossed the rubicon. You're
you're not coming back without a further deal. Now I
get it, and I'm one of and Mike has actually
(13:30):
done this to college guys, like why can't they honor
their contract? Well, he does have a year left, so
you know, you can use that logic, sure, or could
as Sure. The problem is he's gonna say that's good
for him, That ain't good for me, Mike.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It needs to get paid. See, I feel like, see,
you know, the whole thing with Jerry Jones getting what
he gets. I feel like it was panic. It was
a panic move because he didn't. First of all, he
didn't trade him to the AFC, which you would think
is what he's going to do. You would think that, Okay,
Micah Parsons is out here, I'm not trying to unload
a thirty one year old guy coming off a great
(14:06):
year that hey, people want to trade. This is the
guy you want to build your team around. So wouldn't
you spend a little bit more time seeing what else
is out there? And up it and the fact that
you're saying that we made this to make our team
better so we could stop the run. We gave a
guy a lot of money last year in Dak Prescott,
and it's about getting out from the money you're gonna
pay Micah Parsons, But you're paying Clark twenty million a
(14:29):
year for the next two years to come in Like
all your whole point about saying, hey, we now have
money to go spend someplace else. Well twenty million of
that you just you're paying this guy, Yeah, who's a
twenty nine year old defensive tackle who has seen his
best day. Right, So, like none of this made sense
and I felt like Jay like, instead of this this
all this, this is going on. We tried for a
few days. Now, I felt like, this is a panic move.
(14:50):
And the Packers were the team that said, hey, we
sense blood in the water. We're gonna call. We're gonna call.
We're gonna let Jerry know. We'll trade two first round picks.
Now we got to give him money. Oh, that's gonna
be We're not gonna give up so so, so so
much because we got to give him two hundred million
dollars basically, which is what they did. But that's why
I feel like, Jerry, this was a panic This is
a panic move. You could have got more. You could
have traded him out of the the NFC because now
(15:12):
you've got to play against them this year, and who
knows how you got to go through the playoffs against him.
It was a panicked on it.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah, they play at the end of September in Big
d on Sunday, Night Football. So you got that working
for you. But all of that to say, it's it's
the old distressed property something we talked about here on
the show. We've got sunk costs, we got distressed properties,
and we bring up all the time. Sure while things
might be in a bad spot, and you've now recognized
Jerry Steven whoever else is in that brain trust, All right,
(15:39):
we're not getting this done with Micah. It got personal.
The bridge is too far for us to cross, Like,
this is it. We're gonna have to get rid of him.
You open it and then you take this like you're distress,
like whatever your job loss is divorced. Like there's millions
of reasons people get rid of properties and decide they
have to move. But like in this case, why would
(16:03):
you not wait for the season to start to develop
and let people see how their defense is shaking out.
Now you're telling me you wouldn't get at least this
deal later on, because.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Again I think you would.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Hark is a guy that's in no man's line. I
think you would to trade him now you would have
gotten the most for him because teams can say we
will have him for this whole season close to what
Micah Parsons is whereas if you're trade him the middle
of the season, okay, you're paying him for this season,
which is kind of a lost year. So one year
you got to give him forty million dollars for whatever
it is, and you're only gonna have him for a
(16:36):
couple of months. So I think now was the time
to trade him. But clearly this could have been something
that hey, take an extra couple of days, like it's
only you know, it's Thursday. You know he's playing in
ten days. Micah Parson is kind of a plug and
play guy, but two or whatever you need to right, like,
you know you would have got I can't believe you
didn't get more for it, more picks. And if you
(16:57):
the point was to get out from under money, why
did you take a back that's twenty million a year
for the next year.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Williams have just gotten another two picks wherever they were
it's round, third round, fourth rounds, whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's like, take a fantasy where you see a trade
made and you go, why didn't you call me? I
would have given you more for that guy. Oh I
didn't know. I was kind of talking to him for
the last week or so. Like, I feel like that's
what happened. Like the packers and Cowboy, we're talking talk.
Don't call anybody else. We got these picks. Got the picks, okay,
but that's more for that. How long?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Because I can't think and this is where we you know,
Jerry wants the investigation on the other side. How quickly
this came together where we go from hey, he's we're
not talking about trade, and that's not off the table.
This is all negotiating to they're now considering it to
less than seven hours later, we got one hundred eighty
eight million dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It's just like that.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
It's fuzzy math, It's fuzzy uh, it's a fuzzy clock.
It's like Doc Brown's at the helm for me here.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
But again, it's why we say we're ahead of the Kurt.
We told you a month ago this was gonna happen
because of that social media post, and there it is
full props my friend exit, how about a Fresca exit? Swallen,
don't thank you, my friend. Coming up next, we will
head to Vegas. With the odds for the Cowboys going
all the way down the tubes. What about the odds
for the Packers. What about the other teams in the
(18:15):
NFC North. Plus, we take a look at the big
best bets this week in college football. It's coming up
next right here, Jason and Mike, Fox Sports Radio. For
over forty years, tire Rack's been up and customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack
(18:37):
dot Com is the way tire buying should be. That's
tire rack dot Com. Heaven knows, Jerry didn't try to
keep Micah with the cowboys. Don't answer the phone, don't
train them away to the packers. Now call the AFC.
Maybe the bills will.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Give you something, or maybe the cold. But instead, Jerry,
you let him go. You let him go.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
You let him go to a place that's his cold
as his palace I'm building.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
You let him go. You let him go. Now he's
gonna be wearing green and yellow.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Dropping out, Mike, I wanted to see what your voice
was gonna do next.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Jerry Jones can't run a team the right way. Trade
it away his best player. Now he's got a defensive
tackle end two first rounders that can't help until next year.
How does that make sense?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
In what world?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
MCUI five eighty one fourteen, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
How many comic books that you're gonna go into before
we're down here?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Too many worlds, It's too many worlds. You know, there's
one world, at least one world where Micah Parsons is
going is going to the Hall of Fame as a
Dallas Cowboy. I don't know, I don't know what MCU
world that is, but there's got to be an MCU
world where that's happened.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I kind of like that world. It's Jerry was gonna
be around, bring him in.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's not this one though. It's not six one six,
not aping, no more Ring of Honor possibility either. Oh no, no, no, no,
that's not happened. Micah Parsons is a member of the
Green Bay Packers, the Cowboys making the trade today, shaking
the NFL world with the news. What does this mean
(21:45):
for many teams odds to get to the Super Bowl,
joining us now on the hot line, is nobody better.
Longtime Vegas insider friend of the show Todd Furman. Check
him out on Twitter at Todd Furman. See him on
CBS Sports Line all over the place TSN. He's on
there regularly, Todd. What's happening, man, How are you?
Speaker 8 (22:04):
I'm doing well, gentlemen, But you know what the irony
is in all of this situation that's unfolded in Dallas.
Jerry Jones still runs a better franchise than Whatdy Johnson
does in New York. So the Cowboys always have that.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Man, something that Jared can hang his hat on, regardless
of how old and senile he gets with his contract
negotiations that are in violation of the CBA.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Y'all know about that, because, first of all, actually people
come to the Jets, they actually want to be here.
We are problem. That is that our problem, our problem,
and our problem is bringing in the wrong players. It's
not our star players want to leave. That's a bigger problem.
That's a bigger You gotta gott They gotta be a destination, man,
and we're more of a destination I don't.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Think I've ever heard the Jets described as a destination franchise.
But whatever world you live in, and that job the
prisoners of the moment.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
My friend, Jets have a better head coach, the Jets
have a better general manager, the Jets have have better
across the board, Like I mean, I don't know what
to tell you, that's the truth.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
And they have a win total that's still two games
lower than the Dallas Cowboys because they reside in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
So well, okay on that elson, So what did happen
to the odds of the Dallas Cowboys after the trade
of Michael Parsons today?
Speaker 8 (23:15):
This was a Cowboys team that the market hadn't been
real bullish on going into the season. To begin with,
their win total was largely hung earlier this summer, around
seven and a half, and we haven't seen much in
the way of adjustment for the Dallas Cowboys. You look
at what their number is at some prominent books, and
that's kind of the consensus price tag. Now, if you
want to go over that, you can still get a
little bit of favorable juice working in your favor. A Well, look,
(23:39):
this is a Dallas team that it questions along the
offensive line. They had questions defensively even before they parted
ways with Micah Parsons. And while a lot of people
were thinking this could be a rebound year with a
healthy Dak Prescott, I think the offense is now going
to have to do everything in their power to outscore
some of those defensive deficiencies. So I wouldn't be running
to buy Dallas Cowboys stock anytime soon. But from a
(23:59):
fantasy standpoint, I'm sure having George Pickens on your roster
along with Ceedee Lamb or Deck can potentially pay dividends
if they're in games there at thirty eight to thirty
one every Sunday all fall long.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yeah, I'm now just going to have a split screen
graphic of Dak Prescott and Joe Burrow with me all
year long, both sides at the same coin. In that
regard for the Week one game against the Eagles, was
that already priced in that he wasn't going to play?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Or we see a movement.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
You saw a little bit of movement actually starts trickling
into the market yesterday. The total that got as low
as forty six this summer out to forty seven and
forty seven and a half, And that was amid speculation
that even at Parsons did sign a deal to remain
a member of the Dallas Cowboys, that he wasn't going
to be available for week one, or if he was,
it was probably going to be in a limited capacity.
You also saw the six and a half get cleared
(24:47):
out of the market in favor of a seven. It
wouldn't be surprising to me at all if this number
continued to trend to seven and a half before we
get the kickoff next Thursday night. Going to be tough
for bookmakers to convince people to walk to the window
and bet the Dallas Cowboys in this particular spot. So,
as we always say, the betting market will typically tip
its hand. But I don't think anybody anticipated this kind
of blockbuster deal with Michaeh Parsons being shipped to Green
(25:09):
Bay in exchange for two first round picks Kenny Clark
and the life changing money at roughly forty seven million
a year that he was able to lock down.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
All right, So now that Micah Parsons is a member
of the Green Bay Packers, we talked about the other
three teams that hate this trade the most. The Vikings,
the Bears and the Lions. What does this do for
the odds of those all four of those NFC North
teams With the Packers getting Micah Parsons and now the
other teams, you know, now it's going to be a
little bit more, much more difficult for them to do
what they want to do this year.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
Yeah, the Packers really become the beneficiary from an odds perspective.
They move themselves into that second tier. I kind of
say that the first tier as it stands as the Ravens, Bills,
Eagles and Chiefs. You can say what you want picking
out flaws for any of those four teams and you
wouldn't be wrong. But the Packers go from a team
price and at sixteen eighteen to one range now more
or less mentioned in the same breath as the APT
(25:58):
four mentioned Detroy Lyons. And if you look the dynamics
specifically as it pertains to how the pecking order will
unfold in the NFC North, we've seen some prominent books
actually move the Green Bay Packers ahead of the Detroit
Lions and make them a favorite. The Vikings and Bears
still there picking up their rear. So when you have
that kind of talent. In the short term, it makes
a dynamic defense, you know, that much better and a
(26:20):
group that's going to benefit emnseally from one of the
premier pass rushers in the league. I think the biggest
question Packers fans will have now is when will they
see Michael Parsons make his debut in a full capacity. Look,
I don't expect them to be out there week one
against the Lions. Green Bay has a short week before
they'll take on the Commanders on Thursday night, So in
my opinion, you probably won't see him get his full
snapshare until week three. If his back issue is in
(26:42):
a looming thing that can hang over this potential trade
and limits of his effectiveness on the field.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, I hope you look at his chops because week three,
if I'm right, they've got the Browns, so you can
go and take out Joe Flacco.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
It doesn't hurt when you're trying to get into the
backfield to attack a statue at that point.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
In his career.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
So if Micah wanted to buy his time, that would
not be the worst landing spot. And then, gentlemen, what
do we have on the schedule for the Green Bay
pack Sunday Night Football. At the end of September, Micah
Parsons gets to make his triumphant return home and I
have to imagine he will be cheered by Cowboys fans
and Jarrod will be the one drawing the ire of
their disdain.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
What did it do for their overall number for the
NFC title and the Winds total because they were at
nine and a half.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
Yeah, number shortened a little bit and we saw the
juice flip a touch for green Bay, You're not going
to see that much in the way of movement on
some of those particular markets. What I do think is
fascinating is Micah was already, you know, mentioned amongst the
favorites for Defensive Player of the Year, and I've seen
some books shorten his odds to a price tag of
less than two to one. For me, it's pretty wild
(27:50):
if anybody is running the window to try and back
him at that number. But I think it's books doing
as much to kind of protect potential liability accumulating there.
As people are always prisoner of the moment. I want
to gravitate towards that shiny object and in today's NFL world,
Michael Parsons that very definition of.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Such Todd Furman, Vegas inside of our guest. All right,
so let's head to college football. You know, we're seeing
games tonight and everyone's kind of starting to get in
the mode. This weekend belongs to college football. Clearly no
game bigger than Texas Ohio State. What are your thoughts
on this one, because now after tonight we start the
countdown to Texas Ohio State.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
You know, if we use tonight as an indication, hopefully
folks who are looking about underdogs, underdogs on the main
rotation goes seven to one against the number. The only
favorite that gets there is Wyoming over Acron and the
true barnburner of the entire weekend Wyoming out lasting the
Zips ten nothing in a game that maybe sets football
back one hundred plus years as far as the Marquee
games are concerned.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Though.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
Look, we have a couple of fun games tomorrow night
to kick things off. You know, Baylor and Auburn doing battle,
two teams that would love to try and kickstart their
season and keep their respective head coaches off the hot seat.
And then anytime that Dion is available in prime time,
you know they are going to be eyeball there with
Colorado a short home underdog in Georgia Tech. But in
terms of the marquee matchups, look books have told me
that Texas continues to get a ton of attention in
(29:08):
the betting market. I was stunned to see a prominent
book out here in the Desert actually moved Texas to
a one point favorite after they took a substantial six
figure bet. I think there's a lot of expectations around
this Texas team being able to exact a measure of
revenge for a playoff game that got away from them,
thinking that Archie Maning's going to hit the ground running,
and questions more importantly on the Ohio State side, not
(29:28):
just about the quarterback position and Julian sand and what
he'll be able to do, but a new offensive coordinator
and a new defensive coordinator. But I'd be very intrigued
as the Buckeyes continue to drift out and the other
two big games LSU and Clemson. Look, I think LSU
one of the more talented teams in the country, right
there with Clemson, and it wouldn't surprise me at all
if that number started a trend towards a field goal
with LSU taking money. And then on Sunday, I expect
(29:51):
a somewhat lower scoring game between Notre Dame and Miami,
two teams that are going to be very comfortable running
the football and trying to force their opponents to methodically
move the ball down the field.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
All right, last one, Jime be remiss if we didn't
revisit it something we've been talking about a lot as
we get into MVP odds and fund. Kyle schwarber tonight
four home run game gives him forty nine on the
year and starting to get a little bit of a
ground well of support.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
It's nothing else is the market moving it?
Speaker 8 (30:18):
All?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Last I looked it was still plus sixteen hundred to
try to upend show Hao Tani.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Yeah, look, I mean apparently JP Morosi was rubbing his
crystal ball when he was on with you guys earlier
in this week saying that this race was significantly closer.
You looked at the betting odds at that time and
show Heyo Tani was a runaway favorite. But what has
Kyle Schwarber done by virtue becoming the twenty first player
in Major League Baseball history hit four home runs in
a game. His odds have shrunk from sixteen to one
to win NLMVP now down to five to one, show
(30:47):
Hayes price coming down substantially as well, So maybe it
truly will be a two horse race over the final
twenty to twenty five games. You know, Schwarber providing all
of that power in the Phillies lineup, and when you
have the kind of headline game that he did tonight,
it turns plenty of eyeballs and may want to go
in a different direction. So that race has tightened up some. Meanwhile,
in the American League at two horse race as well,
(31:08):
Aaron Jodge's slight favorite in that minus a dollar sixty
range Cal Rawley at plus a dollar thirty. I think
that one will come down to the final games of
the regular season. Should be fun to watch in both
respective leagues, and I think team success could play a
factor as well in terms of which player ultimately emerges
a top to heat in both the American League and
National League MVP market.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
He's on Twitter at Todd Ferman, that is at Todd Furman,
and he says his best bet of the week in
college football Syracuse and Tennessee take the Orange team.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
No one you can count on for sure. I thought
you were going to tell me it was the Orange
money line, and I was gonna have to say my
connection was starting to break up.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Take it easy, money. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Always a pleasure, guys, Appreciate.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
It, Todd Banks, great stuff from Todd Furman, right there.
Look tomorrow it'll be a big college football night, previewing
the big week when we got Colorado and Action tomorrow.
Tomorrow is gonna be fun. Tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Man, Oh, there's so much going on. The trade went
down tonight, so it's okay. Well, I mean you got
to keep your headlines. Yeah, yeah, no, that's true. Uh,
time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. And someone who's been called the Dion
Sanders of Fox Sports Radio because she's.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Got time for this today, it's I do have time
for this today. I had no time for the update.
I would say, okay, we have time for the update.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I do know I have time for the update, plenty
of time.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
But you know, it's what you say.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
I was like, I I thought of, oh, maybe I
could dress up as Dion Sanders for Halloween. I can
get some shades.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Yeah, I'm gonna put on like a like a salt
pepper beard. Sure, sure, the Colorado hoodie, the Colorado hoodie
and the baggy pants or the white no no, no,
white cowboy hat? White cow Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Without knowing you, I would guess you have three different
color cowboy hats at home.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
I don't even have one.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Really, I.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Thought you've had like seven.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I have no, I have three.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
I think I don't have a single.
Speaker 9 (33:04):
Do you have a white one that I can re
borrow for Halloween? I don't have a cowboy hot I
can get one. I'm sure I can get my hands
on one. So that might be what I do for
Halloween this year. All right, what's going on in the
world of sports? Well, we're gonna start with the US Open,
because this is going on right now.
Speaker 7 (33:18):
Tommy Paul, fourteen seed Tommy Paul on the men's side,
won the first two sets of a second round match,
and now it's like coming down to.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
The fourth set and they are tied at five games
a piece. So we'll see if this one goes down
to the wire.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
Fourteen seed Tommy Paul, one seed Janick Center already won
his second round match. He did it in straight sets
on the women's side. Two seed he gets Fiatik and
three seed Cocoa Golf. They're advancing to the third round,
so good for them. When it comes to college football,
South Florida crushed number twenty five Boise State thirty four
to seven. When it comes to baseball, Yankees beat the
(33:52):
White Sox ten four. Marlins outscore the met seven to four.
And speaking of four, Kyle Schwarber have four homers. He
had a total rbi. Phillies crushed the Braves nineteen to four.
Schoreber leads the league with one hundred and nineteen RBI.
He leads the National League with forty nine homers, both
their career highs for him as well. In college hoops,
Rick Barnes has signed a lifetime contract with Tennessee Committee
(34:14):
to be their coach for the rest of his career.
And of course, the big story of the day comes
out of the NFL, as the Cowboys traded their star
pass rusher Michael Parsons to the Packers for two first
round draft picks and three time Pro Bowl defensive tackle
Kenny Clark. Parsons also already agreed to a four year,
one hundred and eighty eight million dollar extension with Green Bay,
making him the highest paid on a quarterback in NFL history.
(34:36):
And if you have not drafted for your fantasy football
team yet, Tampa Bay Buccaneers today announced that they expect
wide receiver Chris Godwin to miss at least the first
month of the season as he recovers from that ankle injury.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Did you draft today and drafted Chris Godwin? Is that
what happened? Oh?
Speaker 7 (34:52):
But you know, you just got it's good to know
ahead of time, you know, the thing with like Joe Mixon, Like, yeah,
so I drafted him before the news came out that
he was not in another lead.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
My favorite draft story of because I'll tell this, I
got time for this today. This is back when we
would do the draft like everybody's in a room together. Yeah,
and it was always fun. And so this one owner
stood up and wanted to show that they knew everything,
knew everything about and stood up and said, I'm taking
someone that none of you have heard of that's gonna
be the next star receiver in the NFL. Is like
(35:25):
in the eighth round, nine round, I'm taking Jake Reid
and the commissioner and we're all sitting there going the
commissioner goes, that's your pick. Yeah, Jake read okay, And
then he goes and the person says, that's the and
and so none of all of you guys are gonna
like like eat dust or whatever it was. All you
guys are gonna eat dust. And then that person sat
down and the commissioner said, yeah, he's out for the year,
(35:46):
torn A cl but that's your pick, Like, oh my god,
that's my favorite because we all knew, like, how does
this person think. None of us that were like, oh really,
I don't know that. And then well I don't want
to draft him. No, No, that's your pets. You stood
up in the room, and so on, everybody. We're taking
Jay towards Acli.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Well, it's like that guy that went viral last week
slapping Brian Robinson's name in the Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Hey wrong Robinson.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
At least he's on a team.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Oh, he's going to be a factor too. He's gonna
check out the podcast. I watch Fletch.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
I did pick him up on one of my leagues.
Really good and he's any healthy and you're good yeah
coming up next. Hey, Speaking of college football, most of
college football is rejoicing in a large way after what
happened tonight. That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. So I'm gonna ask you this real
fast me. Who had a worst day? Yeah? We did?
Who had the best day?
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Was it the Packers or Kyle.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Schwarber SpongeBob still number one with the best day ever?
Who had the worst day? Jerry Jones or the woman
running on the field at the UCF game tonight.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Bad move? Yeah, no, bad move.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
She got the worst of it. Jerry at least can
delude himself that everything was right. Yeah, it'll work out
that he got parts of it right. Yeah, bit it
on others.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
This woman, uh, just that was just silly.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
At the Central Florida game tonight. She's running on the
field and it looks like I can't tell if it's
a student, but you think it probably is. It's rain
all over, people are slipping, and she just gets absolutely
blown up by one of the security guards who comes
out of nowhere and just back like Micah Parsons getting
in the backfield, like getting the quarterback.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
But there's a couple of seconds where it's like, all right,
she's gotta going slowly back and forth, but she's not stopping. Right, Yeah,
just stop, it's done.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
If you keep moving like.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
That, eventually you're getting trucked. Yeah, you've seen that time
and again. Now you know, I get that, but I
feel like, okay, you're gonna get I get it some beat, Harrison.
You can't catch. It's a field, but wow, I mean
they're running on the field and it's you know they're
not you know they didn't they didn't steal a gun
out of a out of a security guards or rob
a bank. You know they didn't do anything. They're running
on the field and you get hit that. This is
(38:14):
a couple of times we've seen people kids get hit
really hard. This is a slippery slope to be on,
man like, we've seen it now a couple of times.
That's I think you can back off that.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
There will be lawyers, you can back off, no question
about that. UCF takes it takes it down a seventeen
to ten win over Jacksonville State in that one. But
you know, part of me starts singing the Chicago song
in my in my head, he had it coming.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Now, hey, speaking of you out of coming. There is
a big party going on in college football tonight because
Boise State lost all the big ten SEC acc I
guess I'll put myself in there.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Yeah, celebrate it while you can't.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
They sit back and say, all right, now, Boise State
losing opening night, twenty fifth RIND team in the country,
do not have to worry about the undefeated Boise State
snatching a playoff berth from my three loss SEC team.
That really isn't fair because they play a bad schedule. Now,
don't have to worry about it. Now, Boise State is
(39:18):
not gonna snatch that bid from you. A right. I
know it makes you nervous, But now there's a big
party because hey, Boise State low they got they got
blown out, lost, Like this is not Rarey. We'll get
things right. Goal eleven ones on the get back in it.
So Boise State getting blown out tonight showing two things.
A they are out of the mix, don't have to
worry about them snatching a bid from you in the playoff.
(39:39):
And b boy, they really miss action genty Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I no, certainly, there's gonna be a lot of it's
so hard to say goodbye and celebration of some of
his great moments. I mean, look, the guy touched the
ball four hundred times.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Yeah, of productivity to replace, there's no question about it.
I gotta ask my daughter, you know, when I get
a chance. She's at right now, but you know she's
thinking of nursing school at Boise State.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Does this change?
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (40:04):
This makes it cheaper. It's a lot cheaper now, it's
not so much a destination whatever it is. It's like
four thousand dollars a year cheaper after tonight. Okay, so
that'll be good.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Now. Does Bois normally play well in openers?
Speaker 1 (40:16):
That's the question? Well, boys usual boy boy boys.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
He usually ends up eleven and one even one and
they's name on the schedule. That's that's the reclamation, right,
that is if they can go and win that game. No,
that's not chaos and.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Soon now that's when people will be rooting for Boys
State because they don't want Notre Dame in there. So
they'll be right, We're going to have that both happen. Yeah,
But that's I'm not worried about boys, I'm not. I'm
not worried about Boise State running the table after the
opening night by twenty seven four seven. Well, I mean
it is a tune up game. I mean you don't know. Okay,
all right, I'm not too worried about that now, Karen
(40:52):
notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
I mean I take the bold strategy and say this
isn't like say, Florida State losing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Yeah, Well, well we'll find out about Florida State this week.
H Exit at about a Fresca exit swollen dome Jason
