Smith Show and subscribe. Mike and I love putting this
content out for you every single night. So you know,
sometimes we say something and it comes true the next day,
sometimes a couple of days after that, sometimes the following week.
Sometimes did you say something and then it comes true
like ten minutes later. Uh, look, we talked about the
(01:24):
Dodger bullpen. It's the X factor. It's the thing the
MLB Playoffs is going to come down to, because the
Dodger bullpen has been awful. They give up home runs
all the time. And you didn't need anything else more
tonight than oh Tani, no hitter for five innings. The
bullpen comes in, gives it up right away, giving up
a couple of long balls, right and then hey, okay,
(01:45):
the Dodgers get back in it. They tie at six apiece.
What happens trying to gives up another big home run
of the ninth thing, maybe the shortest home run in
baseball is absolutely h like you're talking about right down
the line on the wall. But it doesn't matter. Another
long ball. The Phillies win nine to six. This Dodger bullpen.
There's there's not much time left. It's not like, hey,
we're gonna get it and turn it around like this is.
(02:06):
This is the X factor. The Dodgers won the World
Series last year because their bullpen was good enough, and
bullpens they get so much more important in the playoffs.
People forget that. Oh yeah, fourth inning. Now we're getting
guys up in the bullpen. Five six relievers are pitching
every single game. Dodge's gonna go out early, They're gonna
go home early. If this is what you're gonna get
bullpen wise, everything else, I'm not where. I'm not worried
(02:27):
about the lineup. They're gonna that. That's gonna be a
switch against flip. They're gonna hit. The starting pitching will
wind up being Okay. Otani clearly is fine, but man,
you need that bullpen. And this Dodger bullpen is absolutely collapsing.
And it's been like a month's long collapse. Not just Hey,
the last couple of weeks have been rough, but it's
been rough for a long time. Like it's not gonna
be about Bryce Harper or Schwarber, Aaron Judge or Cal
(02:51):
Rawley or or No, it's gonna be if the Dodger
bullpen has bad, somebody else is winning the World Series.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
As we look at the odds entering today, I mean,
there's still the favorites, with the Phillies closing fast. When
you look at the overall odds, first three teams off
the jump are your National League potential representatives plus three
seventy five plus five fifty plus seven fifty before you
get to the Yankees at ten to one and roll
(03:18):
from there. What's curious? You know something we've been harping
on over the course of the night four two to
ohero bullpen Era trying and Scott the struggles throughout the season.
I got to paint the picture for our audience nationwide
globally on the iHeartRadio app as we're watching the post game,
right sixty eight pitches show Hey Otani five no innings,
(03:40):
fantastic hits his fiftieth home run later on, eventually part
of the would be comeback effort before the ninth inning collapse.
Looking at the post game here on Sportsnet, you've got
the guys and to put really paint the picture. It's
ninety some odd degrees when I came into the street
Internet and hume it as hell. But you look at
(04:00):
the post game and they're set up outside Dodger Stadium
and they look like they've been through it. You got
the loosen tie that's kind of pulled down for Jerry
Harriston Jr. You got no more Gertzi. They're sweating profusely
and just look like they've had the worst last hour
or two experience. Like I don't even I don't even
(04:20):
know what to say at this point, because it's it's
now a broken record, right, every time you think you've
got it fixed, all right, get me a new copy
that one was defective. Nope, let's see how the eighth
and ninth inning's going to work in. And we credited
Dave Roberts last year and and to this point this year. Right,
it's it's not been pretty. This is a team projected
(04:41):
to be to win what one hundred and six games
this year? It has been a long, miserable season in
the peaks and valleys. The greatness of what you've seen
from Otawni getting back on the mound and fifty home
runs tonight as he hits that milestone. Old, what the
seventh guy in Major League Baseball to have back to
(05:03):
back fifty home run season. All this greatness, but we've
watched so many of the guys in the lineup have
long stretches of futility. Freddy Freeman, Mookie Betts the last
twenty games is a different guy. He's rediscovered his stroke
and hopefully that leads you to, you know, generating enough
runs to overcome the futility of your bullpen. But we
(05:27):
watched Dave Roberts last year pulled the strings beautifully every night,
five relievers, six relievers, whatever it took, and it just
seemed like no matter which string he pulled, it was.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
The right one. Right.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Hey, You ever bet a cutting the blue or the
red wire, Yeah, got it right every time. Never never
had the implosion This year, man, it seems like the
baseball gods, the fickle hand of fate, is not on
their side.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I'll tell you exit about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome,
Jason Smith, Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
We got more baseball coming up in a little bit
as we continue to pay an homage to Robert Redford.
We lost him today at the age of eighty nine.
And and and how the natural has become the touchstone
for his career. We talked about that a lot tonight.
But look, it's gotten to that time of the year
(06:18):
where the tush push is getting a lot of attention again. Oh,
people forget every few months.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I'm so mad.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I hate the toush push.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yes, the Eagles use it to perfection. Again. They beat
the Chiefs, and you had.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
You have some Eagles players saying they're they're they're so
mad that that they're getting blamed for this, for the
tush push and being something that needs to be banned,
and they're really upset. And I gotta say this. First
of all, I'm gonna tell you this, keep the toush
push right. Anybody can do it. Anybody can do it.
The Eagles do it, but everybody else Okay, you could
still do it. Oh but email might not be as safe. Well,
(06:55):
the Eagles still do it apparently, So Okay, I don't
have a lot.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Of sympathy for you. You can do the same thing the
Eagles do, but you choose not to.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Go figure out your offensive line, get your quarterback in,
not to skip leg day and figure and figure it out.
I mean they've run it how many hundreds of times?
At this point, you got plenty of tape. Go and
look at it.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
But if this is.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Where you think, well, people are just gonna complain. No,
I can tell you now absolutely how to get the
tush push band because you're not.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
What other teams have been trying to do is focus
on different things. We'll focus on the safety of the play. Well, no,
that's not.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
That one yet.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Oh, the the competitive advantage of the play, Well, no,
you can still stop in it. No, there's no So
what what can we find? What can we find? Well,
now you have the reason you want the tush push band.
This is how you push it. See push. If you
push this, if you push this angle on it, it
will get banned. In the off season, you saw Dean
Blandino say this yesterday about the tush. I've had it
(08:00):
with the toush push. It's a really hard play to
officiate and making the rounds. Were a couple of plays
where the Eagles lined up looked like they lined up
off sides, looked like a couple of players got a
little bit more of a push forward before the ball
was snapped. If you hear that from Dean Blandino and
from other sources, that's the way to go. That will
(08:22):
get the tush push band. It's one thing to say,
well the Eagles have a competitive advantage on this play, Well,
why did try to prove it? There's no real reason.
But if it's out there that, hey, you can't officiate
the play well enough and the Eagles get an advantage
because of that. That will get the toush push band
if you because that's gonna get enough teams to say, oh, okay,
(08:44):
so you're telling me you can't officiate this thing, right,
So they're gonna have an advanta, they're gonna be able
to be offside, they're gonna be able to do all
these different things and push the rules. Yeah, no, not
down with that. We're gonna ban the toush push. That's
the way you have to go, because that is something
that no team can sit back and say, yeah, well,
that's okay that they do it. Now, it's not because
that now you're talking about the rules of the game
(09:06):
and if and if if a referee or the umpire
reverence they can't tell what's going on. And you think,
and you keep pushing that angle that the Eagles are
getting an unfair advantage because they're cheating, because now it's
basically they're getting Now now they've crossed, they've crossed the
line from here's a play where they have an advantage
on to out and now cheating. They're allowed to line
(09:26):
up off side, they're allowed for that little extra push
before the ball is snapped. They're allowed to do things
down low in the pile that the officials can't see.
They're allowed to push the ball forward because the officials
can't tell where the ball is. Now you're getting from Hey,
they're finding a way to circumvent the rules to out
and out. Now they're getting a cheating advantage if you
push that. If that's the angle that goes the rest
(09:47):
of the season, not only are you going to see
it banned in the offseason, you're going to see it
much more closely adjudicated when they can over the course
of the rest of this year. You want the tush
push band. That's how you have to do.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
It goes back to the sat tea of the game
argument we were making in some other circumstance, right the
Tom Brady you got to listen to the whole show,
download the audio podcast wherever you get it, evangelized, send
it to friends and family. But it's that for the
officials also, of all, right, now you're basically making it
look like we don't do our jobs. And if I'm
(10:19):
every team that plays against them, right, and it gets
used multiple times per game, what are you doing? You
send plays into the league office? You know what I'm
gonna be and you do, Frain, I'm sending it twice
a day, right, I'm just gonna keep inundating you with well,
I mean, it looks like the right guard here is
off to the races, the right tackle here, all of them.
And we saw preponderance of and building of a video
(10:43):
catalog going around in the game against the Chiefs where
it got to the point where those were getting xcized
from the interwebs by the NFL claiming you know, rights
on it. So all of a sudden, you've got you know,
the black box saying, you know, the media rights holder
has put a claim on this. So to that end,
(11:04):
you'll just keep pushing it and sending it into the
league office to say, all right, based on this angle,
doesn't it look like uh? And then they've got to
respond and they've got to come back on it, and
for the officials to say, hey, we can't do our job,
or the outrage starts to shift to while the the
officials just let it go because now you're talking about
(11:25):
the the impartiality, the fairness, uh, and claiming that the
officials are on, you know, in cahoots to make this
a bad Well, I mean that that it's a play
that the officials just throw their hands out say they're
in cohots with each other. It ties to our conversation
(11:45):
about the match. I'm gonna take us back to the thirties.
I'm going to use the time the terminology. While I'm
at it, I'm gonna go to a speakeasy. But it's
they're complicit of it, like what are we going to
do right? And and that's the last thing you want
the league to say, is well, it looks this way,
it looks that way. And that's part of the Tom
Brady argument folks are making it looks bad. Well, in
(12:07):
this case, you're actually seeing the video evidence where you
can call the false start and you don't. And when
you also have the push from behind, well that's something
that's outlawed. Defensively, you get no run there. And we
already know the rules are problematic in that regard that
everything's against your defense forward progress, all of that, you know,
(12:31):
check all those boxes that you know. You're trying to
talk again about fairness on the play. But certainly the
officials throwing up their hands going, hey, we don't know.
You know, years ago it was he's on the bottom
of the pile giving them one of these yeah, what
does that mean?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
But here it's like, all right, his hurts, where's he
actually down? Now?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
If he's well past the goal line? Fine, yeah, but
they don't use it just as a goal line.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
They use it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
They use it every one it's third in this it's that.
I mean, it's like I said, it's they've been looking
for a way.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
What's the right way? Right? What's the what's the right
way in?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
They really thought safety, and that's safety.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But but if you could point to players getting hurt,
like you get stories, Jason Kelcey would always say, Man,
I always yell blank in my life when we do
a play like that, right, But but Jason Kelcey turned
out to be fine. If you if you had stories
of guys getting hurt, that would have been a thing.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
But there weren't any. Right.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So they're trying to push in prod and I use
the exact like when you're playing Jenga and you just
kind of push the blocks and see which one all
that one moves, I can that's the one I'm gonna
take out.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Put at the top.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
If you're pushing the block, I'm not getting I'm not
getting any resistance on it. I'm leaving that block there.
It's like they're pushing with all these different ways to say, hey,
this touss push should be banned. And they've been doing
it for the better part of three years now, but
this when this first came up their first run to
the Super Bowl, when they lost to the Cheese, It's like,
I thought the play was gonna get banned in the
off season then, but no that we're sticking around.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
We're sticking around. We're sticking around. I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I don't see how in the off season it still
stays around. Especially if the Eagles win the Super Bowl again,
they're gonna say, okay, we are No matter what I feel,
I'm not gonna let them win the Super Bowl because
they run this play again. I'm banning that play, right,
I'm banning that play. But really, if you go through
the officiating process of it, I don't know that you
(14:27):
get any sort of of of rally around it to say, well,
what do you mean. It's just because it's not able
to see what's going on doesn't mean you can't not.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Have the play.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I'm sorry, I'm going away, Like that's like that's what
Nick Sirianni would have to say, like, there's no leg
to stand on with, Hey, we got to keep it going.
The officials can't do it. So if Eagles would then
have to say, well, how do we save the play? Well, okay, guys,
don't jump. We got to line up a certain way.
We got to make sure we're doing We don't want
this play to be banned. But more than likely the
Eagles are just saying blanket, they're gonna band it after
(15:03):
the season anyway, Let's just do it until we can't
do it anymore. Like that's kind of where the way
the Eagles have gone it because, if anything, they've gone
in that direction because they know there's such a there's
such an opinion of it from the league that gets
bigger and bigger the more times they they're able to
execute it. Then now it's like, you know what, screw it,
they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna do it. At some point.
Let's just keep doing it how we want to do it.
(15:25):
We'll maybe get another super Bowl out of it.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah, maybe you'll get called for a penalty or two
and you have to change up the timing, the cadence, whatever,
and maybe the advantage gets slightly taken away, But I
mean we watched other teams try to replicate it with
not a whole lot of success. Hell, I mean, how
many years did we watch guys that couldn't operate the
basic quarterback sneak or.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Wouldn't even try it? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Right, I mean that was one of the big knocks
if you get into Phil Rivers' career. I mean, yeah, no,
no massive win in terms of you know, making that
big run, but one of the things you never had
was all right, it's fourth and one, Well we know,
damn well, he's not tucking in. Whereas I mean, that
was one of the things Brady excelled at, right, was
finding the soft spot on the line to get.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And that's the thing is people forget the Patriots did
this to an art level before it was because what
the Patriots would do is after a big play, they
would line up really fast and Brady, we get the
snop right away, like they were such a well.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Well designed to get that one or two steps to
the left or right do the little head die.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
But teams couldn't get all their personnel close to the line.
They would do it really fat like whatever signal would
come from the sideline. They'd be up there while the
other team is trying to look what are they gonna do?
And I'm like, I'd watch that all the time, and Brady,
we get a yard and a half every single time
in the quarterback sneaking.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Where you have it now and they're running it on
third down, on fourth down, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I mean, I can't fault a good strategy. No exit
out about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You want your blueprint to get the Toush push band.
That's how you get write your congressman twice a day.
Coming up next week, we got a big hot take
on a story you've been talking about all night. Plus
what NFL team is really excited after their win this
weekend really shouldn't be.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
Now you want to go watch Deadwood?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio.
Jason Harmon speaking of Wilfred Mee Pop Fisher. Look, the
biggest story today, I think we all woke up kind
of a shock the passing of Robert Redford at the
age of eighty nine. Man it is, and honestly, I
really I thought he would be that guy that would
(18:48):
live longer because you see even recent interviews with him,
he's still really sharp. He was still acting is in
the Avengers movies. Like I thought he'd be one of
those guys that would get well into his nineties, just
you know, that kind of composition I thought he would get.
So I was kind of shocked today to see that.
But you know, listen to celebrate his life. I mean, look,
(19:09):
you look up movie star in the dictionary. It's his picture, right.
There's very few people you can say that about. There's
big stars, there's big actors that but you look up
movie star.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
His picture is there.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Tom Cruise's picture is there, Julia Roberts's picture is there.
Meryl Streep's picture is like Robert Redford. Movie star and
one of the biggest stars on the planet in the
sixties and the seventies and still stayed a huge deal
in the eighties and the nineties and was still relevant
in the two thousands. He was still doing movies that
people went to see and then jumped into the MCU
and there's so many kids you just know him as
(19:40):
he's a guy from the MCRE. There wasn't a superhero. Well, yeah,
Alexander Pierce. Yeah, sure he was.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I'm kind a big deal, you know. But I'll tell
you what was really cool to see today was.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
That in.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
To see on social media the people talking about Robert
Redford and his influence in so many different places. Right
to see the one movie that everybody gravitated to more
than the others be The Natural. That was my favorite
thing of today seeing it, Like, because look, you know,
I'm the original Butch and Sundance guy, right Like, that's
I tell you, you talk about me, know and Caddyshack,
(20:13):
all the Butcher Sundance lines. I can run top to
bottom like that. That is a that is a guy's
guy movie right there, I will tell you.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
And that is like, and I'm okay with Sam much.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
But everybody comes back to the Natural, And is it
just because it's a sports movie? Is because it's because
the movie was timeless and it's about a topic that
everybody can understand, right and even in sports, it's okay,
here's a great player who you know, made a big
(20:45):
mistake earlier in his life and he gets one chance
at it. We love a redemption story and we love
the timelessness of ay here he is involved in potential
illegal gambling on sporting events. What's one of the big
stories in twenty twenty five players gambling on sporting Was he.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
A member of the Guardians.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
This is a movie that would that came out in
nineteen eighty four, that took place in nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
We're almost one hundred years later. Yeah, we got gambling
and sports.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Now Robert Redford is not sitting in the New York
Nights locker room, you know, making bets on his cell phone,
going hey, Robert, you gotta you gotta be off the premises.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yeah, you can't be in the team facilities. You gotta
be beyond that shrubbery. I know, young Berry is pitching
for the Pirates. Say you want to bet on him,
It's got to be all the way over there. But
like I, I but it's it's really I'm really so
happy to see that that this is the movie that's
getting that kind of attention because you know, to look
at that film and and being a sports film like
(21:38):
it's it's probably my favorite sports film of all time
because I.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
It's one of is that the one that goods to
It's not for him because what I go, what I
go for now by how great movies are is how
many times I will stop to watch it when it's on. Now,
it doesn't have to actively seek it out because there's
so many choices, and I have to turn on cable
and go, did oh this is cool? Like I could
go and try to find it, or you know, I
get oh, it's for free on param or it's but
oh the natural is an't. We're gonna watch it like
(22:02):
the Knights are in Chicago, gonna watch it the rest
of the way. Sorry, this is what we're doing. Uh,
we're gonna okay here, We're gonna watch all these strikes
out the whammer. Then I'm gonna make a sandwich. I'll
run to the store. I'm gonna get back by the time. Eh,
maybe I'll get back after Bump Bailly's funeral, right, Like,
this is what I'm timing things out by. But that's
always a movie that I that I stop and see.
And one of the other one of the other things
(22:24):
it has is that I always look at how well
acted a movie is, top to bottom, and you get
movies where where people have give you performances that just
blow you away. But this is one from the top
of the call sheet to the bottom of the call sheet.
Everybody in it is absolutely fantastic, whether it's Redford or
Robert Duvall or Robert Prosky or Kim Basinger, who I'm
(22:46):
not the biggest fan of, but this is probably the best.
But she was phenomenal in this movie. Is memo Glenn
closees fan just the small moments Glenn Close has with
with Robert Redford when she's keeping the secret that yes,
I have our son and I don't want to parse
that out to you, but I'm I don't know how
to really talk to you about it since you're here
in my living room and I came to see you
(23:07):
and stood up and you hit a home run and
broke broke a clock. Uh you know, Uh, Wilfred Brimley,
Darren McGavin, you just go all the way down. Michael
Manson is phenomenal. He embodies that character of Bump Bailey.
He's such a jerk and he's such an entitled superstar. Hey, Bump,
why didn't you slide? That is a guard in my
back pocket. I didn't want to break it. Oh okay,
(23:29):
you know all these all these slow things that you see,
these subtle moments.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
That that's why this movie I think cuts through for
so many people. Like there's a bet we can talk
about the sting and and and all the President's men
and look at this tense moment all the pre yes
as one hundred percent. Are you stopping to watch all
the presidents men every time it comes out? Now, you're
probably not right. He's like, oh, I saw it and
it was great, and maybe I saw it again, but okay,
you see the phone call scene. Maybe I've seen that.
(23:55):
You're not doing it for that movie, but you're doing
it for the Natural. So it was so much fun
to see it get recognized today as when we talk
about Redford's career, there's so many things you can choose from,
and everybody chose The Natural and I love that.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah, it's just the the pick your your favorite moment, right,
Like I have so many of his movies that that
are that are part of you know what I used
to watch with my dad, would you know the mcu
uh with my daughters, uh and introducing them somewhere along
the line. You know, it's one that I haven't had
I guess what you would call linear cable in a while.
(24:32):
So in terms of scrolling down, it's like, hey, there
it is. It's not one that I found and even
we're going to watch it today. It became the all right,
what service is it on? And what am I gonna
have to pay? Uh to watch it?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Kind of right.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
We were going through the uh, the the channel guide
here once we got into the studio, going come on,
it's gotta be out here somewhere, and then we settled
for the next best alternative in your world, which is moneyball.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, and you started quoting and act.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
And you missed your your queue and blocking on one
part of the scene, but otherwise you had it every
piece of it. But it's all about period movies that
transcend the period as well, right, because this could have
been anytime to your point of how many stories do
we have? We talked about in the last year of players, clubhouses,
(25:23):
who knew, who knew what where and how related to
gambling and you know, all the shadowy figures that are
around athletes and the murky situations they get themselves into.
Not often you get you know, the extra bloody guy
up at the plate. But I mean it's a nice
little thing. I mean, we've got bad circumstances that happened.
(25:45):
I'm thinking of a football movie of guys with handguns
running through the through the line of scrimmage and stuff.
But yeah, bad things happening, man. But you know, we
celebrate all those those instances, and sports movies always, you know,
resonate on so many different levels, and you pick your
scenes and characters. But Robert Redford, mean, he always look
(26:08):
like a little kid on the screen, no matter how
old he got, Like, always had that twinkle in the ad,
a smile. And today all these people realizing the memes,
it's like, wait, that was.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Red Yeah, Jeremiah john that's not Zach allifhan Atkus.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
That one was funny, Like I must have seen that
from like fifteen different people, Like I didn't know that
was him.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Are you ready to sports talk radio the Natural? Ready
for this?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Yeah, let's go. Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
The Pirates manager should be fired. Okay, Pirates fired because
they completely blew the end of this game. Okay, Pirates
are up to nothing in the bottom of the ninth
inning against the Knights, the three outs away from going
to the World Series. Young Berry is pitching, well right done?
Giving up three hits in the game or a couple
(26:52):
of hits in the game. Then what happens. Okay, two outs,
Bivins hits one off the wall. They get a crazy
grounder that gets a little bit misplayed the third baseman.
The throat to first base is a little wild. The
tag is the ball comes out, and now the Knights
have first and third. Two outs, and here comes Roy Hobbs. Okay,
this is the best hitter in all of baseball. He
(27:13):
had rewritten record books in a little over half a season.
The guy had forty home runs. It's something crazy like that.
You walk him, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
You go to the next batter.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Who we even know who the cleanup hitter was on
that team. He's never even on camera. You go to
the next hitter, You go to the cleanup batter. You
put the best hitter in the game on even if
he turns out to be the winning run, and you
take your chances with whoever comes up next. But no,
they decide to pitch to him. Okay, what happens young Berry?
First two pitches way outside, way out of the strike zone.
(27:45):
Sibby Sisty, former mlber time out, comes to the mound,
takes out young Berry, brings in John Rhodes, and here
comes John Rhoades, Nebraska farm Boys, strides to the mound.
They say he's got the best fastball in the major leagues.
Right now, not even a full season. You're walking Hobbs
because you're inheriting a two and o count, right, and
Hobbs at two and oh count. I don't care what
(28:07):
kind of fastball John Rhodes has. You're putting him on
first because now he's hitting with a two and o count.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
His batting Roy Hobbes batting after the two and oh
count had to be around six hundred.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
But now, to put this in perspective, Jason was already
going down this highway for all of you out there,
long before the latest meltdown by the Dodgers Bolt Pen. Okay,
this is not clouding any of his analysis.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
He was already going down this highway.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So trine And gives up a bit. So you put
him on at that point. You're not gonna have your
your reliever come in and try to try to get him.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Out, right.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That's a ridiculously horrible strategy. And what happens. He takes
him deep for a home run away He battled at
two and two. Now that's the other part of it. Now,
so it's two and zero. Rhodes comes in with a
fastball inside that Hobbs fouls right back, right, breaks the
glass in front of Max Mercy.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Oh, straight back, just missed it.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, next pitch is kind of is over the plate
and Hobbs misses it right, misses the fastball. Okay, So
now you've had two fastballs. Next pitch inside fastball that
Hobbs nearly hits a home run on, just miss it,
just curves Foust.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Yeah, this guy was trying to announce his presence with authority.
At this point, it's two and two. You've just thrown
three fastballs on the inside half of the plate. The
catcher sees that Roy Hobbs is bleeding profusely from his side.
He's got three slashes like Wolverine got him.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
And you know it's okay, let's see.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
So do you call something inside where you think he
can jerk it, or do you call something on the
outside part of the plate to make him chase because again,
bleeding profusely from a bullet wound.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Right, So okay, So.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
The catcher looks, yeah, give me the fastball inside.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Oh, I don't know that that's the right call.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
And what happens. Hobbs not doesn't put it in the seats.
He breaks a light at the top of the stadium
that of course breaks all the other lights because you know, Hollywood,
two horrible mistakes there. And I'm sure that they were
calling pitches because you know, he gives the he gives
a sign. The first was curved, then fastball inside, so
obviously he was a second sign coming fastball inside.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
The manager of the Pirates fired right away. And I
don't know how that's your pitch sequence, right, That's something
they would see broken down after the game.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Is over by uh by a Rod or Jeter going.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Hey, you don't come inside with three fastballs and then
come inside with another one. The guy's gonna tie. I
don't care what kind of fastball you have. The guy's
the best hitter in baseball. He's gonna time that, damn.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
But he's hitting it way. He's got one swing left.
Throw something and plate get him too, Chase, and he's
in a back of bats.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Have you seen Roy Hobbs at one home run to
the opposite fields.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
No, he's been a dead pole hitter.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
The thing was fifty rows back crush that make him
go the other way if you make that injury a
little more by making.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Him stretch and go around his body.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Absolutely terrible, terrible strategy. Terrible strategy. Right that's it's sports
stalk radio, the end of the natural right there. Horrible strategy.
Roy Hobbs hero, why's he shaking me off?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Okay? Mean time not to find out what's trending in
the wide world of sports.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
And someone who's been called the Al Fowler of Fox
Sports Radio. The only way he gives up runs is
if he's given him to the other team because he's
in on the take.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
It's Steve Disaber.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
No, No, it was just those bulky uniforms they were wearing,
very heavy and too many day games. We had a
little bit of history, had won World Series for so long. Well,
there's your there's a reason we had a lot of
history in the Dodger Stadium game tonight, not on the
good side for LA. In fact, they became the first team,
AP says since at least nineteen oh six to get
(31:44):
five no hit innings or more from the starting pitcher
and still have your bullpen allowed nine runs or more
in the same game. Philly's got a three run homer
top of the ninth to win in LA nine to six.
The Phillies had clinched the NL East title last night
show heyw Tani pitch, no hit innings, bullpen, then give
up six runs in the sixth, though Tani later with
his fiftieth homer of the season, so he individually is
(32:07):
now the only MLB player in the modern era to
have these five no hit innings or more and also
homer at the plate, and yet his team loses the game.
So we can update the Dodger relievers in these two
nights against the Phillies. So far eight and a third innings,
fourteen runs allowed. The Diamondbacks are still game and a
(32:30):
half at the last NL Wildcard behind the Mets Arizona
with a run bottom of the ninth at San Francisco
six to five. The Mets at home beat the Padres
eight to three. Pete Alonzo is thirty fifth homer, Francisco
Alvarez left hit by a pitch on the arm. The
Padre loser Michael King was down seven to one in
the second inning. The Padres still two games back of
the first place Dodgers in the NL West. In the
(32:52):
AL West, the Mariner is still a half game over Houston.
Seattle won its tenth game in a row twelve five
at Kansas City cal Raley with two more homers he
has fifty six. Houston held on six to five over
Texas wins for again Toronto, they're six in a row,
and the Yankees. They were up ten to one in
the fourth at Minnesota and beat the Twins ten to nine.
(33:12):
But the A's won their fifth in a row two
to one at Boston. Cleveland won it's fifth straight. Brewers
and Cubs each one. WNBA Playoff wins for Indiana and
for Seattle with a late comeback to beat Las Vegas
and Ndace's seventeen game winning streak, and Vikings running back
Aaron Jones, with the bad hamstring, was placed on injured reserve.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Back to you.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Magas Steve though coming up next.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
One NFL team is still dining out on their win
from Sunday, and I'll.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Tell you why.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
It's the last thing that team should be celebrating. That's
next right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio, Fox
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon Cowboy Hobo. So uh sorry to all the
Dodger fans of the pen is that bad?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
But wow, the memes of the bullpen.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
You know what I'm starting to see and U c
l A Dodger Fray, I think he's losing the u
c l A off his UH tag after Dodger Frank
after might go to our guy, Frank, I'm just Frank
to describe the Dodger bullpen.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
He used the Rosenthal look.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Before before he knocked, then after when he's looking down
on him with disdain and derision. And wow, this is
some next level stuff, the memes and the uh the vitriol,
and it comes back to let me ask you this,
And we talked about it live as it went on.
I still wondered if we we shouldn't have gotten one
more attempted inning on the show. Donnie, Eventually you're going
(34:47):
to the pen. I mean, eventually you're going to the pen.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
I know that we just would have gotten six and
the seventh.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
They were just waiting. They were just lying in waiting. Sorry,
we're good, but but we haven't gotten a hit.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
He's gonna be wounded like that baseball player that came
up and was all beating.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
So we were gonna bust him in.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Absolutely fine, We're all gonna hit like the natural in
this game.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Wait for it, good, wait for it.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
But look, the last twenty four hours have been filled
with a lot of Dallas Cowboys self congratulations.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Right, they're so happy and ill.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Look I get Brian Schottenheimer's happy winning his first first game.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Locker, Come on, man has he he hasn't looked at
happy since hanging out with How about them Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Jabbie Johnson had to have it? I mean, uh, we
won the game. Uh, the Cowboys stink. Okay, that's the
thing the Cowboys. Wait, there's only one thing wrong with
one thing on the Cowboys. The Cowboys stink. And I
can't celebrate this Cowboys win, and they shouldn't either, because
the Giants are awful. This is a bad team that
(35:53):
needed fortune to smile on them, so many different ways
to beat a worst.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Team and then entertaining.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
They needed a sixty four yard field goal after giving
up a Russell Wilson touchdown on on a moon ball.
They hat a guy that shouldn't even be starting for
the Giants anymore.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Throw for four.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Hundred and thirty yards. Man, Come on, and you needed
every bit of that to beat.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
The Giants limited they stink.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Like to celebrate this is to ignore the reality that, boy,
things are really bad for the Cowboys. They stink, They
absolutely stink. And to understand just what the Cowboys are. Okay, Well,
they gave the Phillies a tough the Phillies, they gave
the Eagles a tough game.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah, and then the bullpen, and the bullpen came in.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Everything was fine, but you know, Jaylen pass, Jalen Cole,
run aloud. Carter getting thrown out of the game was
a pretty big deal like that, I don't think the
game would have been quite as close. But yes, they
give them a push most of the game. It's opening week.
They need everything they can to beat an awful Giants team.
The Cowboy are the same team I told you they'd
be in the preseason. They're a team that, hey, they're
(37:04):
not really good, but don't get in a shootout with them,
because that then you might find yourself on the wrong
end of the final score. Because they have a lot
of weapons on offense, and they do right. You see,
Dak can go up and down the field with CD
and pickings and and and and Ferguson. It's it's a
pretty good offense, right, they can get up and down there.
But they're not a good team. They're not good. That's
who they are. Hey, don't get involved in a shootout
(37:26):
with them. And clearly they need every single bit of
a shootout to beat the Giants. Again, when a bad
team needs every bit of luck they can get and
they rub that rabbit's foot just to beat a team
that's worse than them, How good are they?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Real?
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Are you saying that ibra flus isn't gonna get that
defense cooking over flu? You know, you really can't play
a zone when you're starting corners and everybody are out.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
You can't do anything.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
You can't you don't have a pass rush.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
No, you know, they could have used Michael Parsons used him, man,
really could have used them.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Didn't have Thenbody's just why they're now going back and Clowney.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
And the Cowboys like like Jerry Jones is running this like, hey,
we look like they just beat the Chiefs, or they
beat or they beat the Eagles or the Bills.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
Hey, look at the big win.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
We just said.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Now we got Clowny. There's a reason why Clowny has
been out there the whole time. Three take your shot.
It's not like suddenly, Hey, get guess who decided he
wanted to play and came back into the United States
like he was away looking Antarctica or some sort of darknest.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Hey, we got clown.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know, anybody could have had him, anybody could have
had him. But you gotta stop the run. You know,
you gotta stop the run. Stop the run. The Cowboys
are bad. The only thing I can say is that
man fortune smiled on this week because they get the Bears,
who are in worse shape than the Cowboys are and
maybe as bad as the Giants.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Wow, their defense is pretty bad. Juice deck load him up.
Oh I'm telling you man the over for this Cowboys
Bears game.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
This is.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Seven written all over. Caleb Williams and Tyson Beage touchdowns.

content out for you every single night. So you know,
sometimes we say something and it comes true the next day,
sometimes a couple of days after that, sometimes the following week.
Sometimes did you say something and then it comes true
like ten minutes later. Uh, look, we talked about the
(01:24):
Dodger bullpen. It's the X factor. It's the thing the
MLB Playoffs is going to come down to, because the
Dodger bullpen has been awful. They give up home runs
all the time. And you didn't need anything else more
tonight than oh Tani, no hitter for five innings. The
bullpen comes in, gives it up right away, giving up
a couple of long balls, right and then hey, okay,
(01:45):
the Dodgers get back in it. They tie at six apiece.
What happens trying to gives up another big home run
of the ninth thing, maybe the shortest home run in
baseball is absolutely h like you're talking about right down
the line on the wall. But it doesn't matter. Another
long ball. The Phillies win nine to six. This Dodger bullpen.
There's there's not much time left. It's not like, hey,
we're gonna get it and turn it around like this is.
(02:06):
This is the X factor. The Dodgers won the World
Series last year because their bullpen was good enough, and
bullpens they get so much more important in the playoffs.
People forget that. Oh yeah, fourth inning. Now we're getting
guys up in the bullpen. Five six relievers are pitching
every single game. Dodge's gonna go out early, They're gonna
go home early. If this is what you're gonna get
bullpen wise, everything else, I'm not where. I'm not worried
(02:27):
about the lineup. They're gonna that. That's gonna be a
switch against flip. They're gonna hit. The starting pitching will
wind up being Okay. Otani clearly is fine, but man,
you need that bullpen. And this Dodger bullpen is absolutely collapsing.
And it's been like a month's long collapse. Not just Hey,
the last couple of weeks have been rough, but it's
been rough for a long time. Like it's not gonna
be about Bryce Harper or Schwarber, Aaron Judge or Cal
(02:51):
Rawley or or No, it's gonna be if the Dodger
bullpen has bad, somebody else is winning the World Series.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
As we look at the odds entering today, I mean,
there's still the favorites, with the Phillies closing fast. When
you look at the overall odds, first three teams off
the jump are your National League potential representatives plus three
seventy five plus five fifty plus seven fifty before you
get to the Yankees at ten to one and roll
(03:18):
from there. What's curious? You know something we've been harping
on over the course of the night four two to
ohero bullpen Era trying and Scott the struggles throughout the season.
I got to paint the picture for our audience nationwide
globally on the iHeartRadio app as we're watching the post game,
right sixty eight pitches show Hey Otani five no innings,
(03:40):
fantastic hits his fiftieth home run later on, eventually part
of the would be comeback effort before the ninth inning collapse.
Looking at the post game here on Sportsnet, you've got
the guys and to put really paint the picture. It's
ninety some odd degrees when I came into the street
Internet and hume it as hell. But you look at
(04:00):
the post game and they're set up outside Dodger Stadium
and they look like they've been through it. You got
the loosen tie that's kind of pulled down for Jerry
Harriston Jr. You got no more Gertzi. They're sweating profusely
and just look like they've had the worst last hour
or two experience. Like I don't even I don't even
(04:20):
know what to say at this point, because it's it's
now a broken record, right, every time you think you've
got it fixed, all right, get me a new copy
that one was defective. Nope, let's see how the eighth
and ninth inning's going to work in. And we credited
Dave Roberts last year and and to this point this year. Right,
it's it's not been pretty. This is a team projected
(04:41):
to be to win what one hundred and six games
this year? It has been a long, miserable season in
the peaks and valleys. The greatness of what you've seen
from Otawni getting back on the mound and fifty home
runs tonight as he hits that milestone. Old, what the
seventh guy in Major League Baseball to have back to
(05:03):
back fifty home run season. All this greatness, but we've
watched so many of the guys in the lineup have
long stretches of futility. Freddy Freeman, Mookie Betts the last
twenty games is a different guy. He's rediscovered his stroke
and hopefully that leads you to, you know, generating enough
runs to overcome the futility of your bullpen. But we
(05:27):
watched Dave Roberts last year pulled the strings beautifully every night,
five relievers, six relievers, whatever it took, and it just
seemed like no matter which string he pulled, it was.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
The right one. Right.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Hey, You ever bet a cutting the blue or the
red wire, Yeah, got it right every time. Never never
had the implosion This year, man, it seems like the
baseball gods, the fickle hand of fate, is not on
their side.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I'll tell you exit about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome,
Jason Smith, Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
We got more baseball coming up in a little bit
as we continue to pay an homage to Robert Redford.
We lost him today at the age of eighty nine.
And and and how the natural has become the touchstone
for his career. We talked about that a lot tonight.
But look, it's gotten to that time of the year
(06:18):
where the tush push is getting a lot of attention again. Oh,
people forget every few months.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I'm so mad.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I hate the toush push.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yes, the Eagles use it to perfection. Again. They beat
the Chiefs, and you had.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
You have some Eagles players saying they're they're they're so
mad that that they're getting blamed for this, for the
tush push and being something that needs to be banned,
and they're really upset. And I gotta say this. First
of all, I'm gonna tell you this, keep the toush
push right. Anybody can do it. Anybody can do it.
The Eagles do it, but everybody else Okay, you could
still do it. Oh but email might not be as safe. Well,
(06:55):
the Eagles still do it apparently, So Okay, I don't
have a lot.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Of sympathy for you. You can do the same thing the
Eagles do, but you choose not to.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Go figure out your offensive line, get your quarterback in,
not to skip leg day and figure and figure it out.
I mean they've run it how many hundreds of times?
At this point, you got plenty of tape. Go and
look at it.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
But if this is.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Where you think, well, people are just gonna complain. No,
I can tell you now absolutely how to get the
tush push band because you're not.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
What other teams have been trying to do is focus
on different things. We'll focus on the safety of the play. Well, no,
that's not.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
That one yet.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Oh, the the competitive advantage of the play, Well, no,
you can still stop in it. No, there's no So
what what can we find? What can we find? Well,
now you have the reason you want the tush push band.
This is how you push it. See push. If you
push this, if you push this angle on it, it
will get banned. In the off season, you saw Dean
Blandino say this yesterday about the tush. I've had it
(08:00):
with the toush push. It's a really hard play to
officiate and making the rounds. Were a couple of plays
where the Eagles lined up looked like they lined up
off sides, looked like a couple of players got a
little bit more of a push forward before the ball
was snapped. If you hear that from Dean Blandino and
from other sources, that's the way to go. That will
(08:22):
get the tush push band. It's one thing to say,
well the Eagles have a competitive advantage on this play, Well,
why did try to prove it? There's no real reason.
But if it's out there that, hey, you can't officiate
the play well enough and the Eagles get an advantage
because of that. That will get the toush push band
if you because that's gonna get enough teams to say, oh, okay,
(08:44):
so you're telling me you can't officiate this thing, right,
So they're gonna have an advanta, they're gonna be able
to be offside, they're gonna be able to do all
these different things and push the rules. Yeah, no, not
down with that. We're gonna ban the toush push. That's
the way you have to go, because that is something
that no team can sit back and say, yeah, well,
that's okay that they do it. Now, it's not because
that now you're talking about the rules of the game
(09:06):
and if and if if a referee or the umpire
reverence they can't tell what's going on. And you think,
and you keep pushing that angle that the Eagles are
getting an unfair advantage because they're cheating, because now it's
basically they're getting Now now they've crossed, they've crossed the
line from here's a play where they have an advantage
on to out and now cheating. They're allowed to line
(09:26):
up off side, they're allowed for that little extra push
before the ball is snapped. They're allowed to do things
down low in the pile that the officials can't see.
They're allowed to push the ball forward because the officials
can't tell where the ball is. Now you're getting from Hey,
they're finding a way to circumvent the rules to out
and out. Now they're getting a cheating advantage if you
push that. If that's the angle that goes the rest
(09:47):
of the season, not only are you going to see
it banned in the offseason, you're going to see it
much more closely adjudicated when they can over the course
of the rest of this year. You want the tush
push band. That's how you have to do.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
It goes back to the sat tea of the game
argument we were making in some other circumstance, right the
Tom Brady you got to listen to the whole show,
download the audio podcast wherever you get it, evangelized, send
it to friends and family. But it's that for the
officials also, of all, right, now you're basically making it
look like we don't do our jobs. And if I'm
(10:19):
every team that plays against them, right, and it gets
used multiple times per game, what are you doing? You
send plays into the league office? You know what I'm
gonna be and you do, Frain, I'm sending it twice
a day, right, I'm just gonna keep inundating you with well,
I mean, it looks like the right guard here is
off to the races, the right tackle here, all of them.
And we saw preponderance of and building of a video
(10:43):
catalog going around in the game against the Chiefs where
it got to the point where those were getting xcized
from the interwebs by the NFL claiming you know, rights
on it. So all of a sudden, you've got you know,
the black box saying, you know, the media rights holder
has put a claim on this. So to that end,
(11:04):
you'll just keep pushing it and sending it into the
league office to say, all right, based on this angle,
doesn't it look like uh? And then they've got to
respond and they've got to come back on it, and
for the officials to say, hey, we can't do our job,
or the outrage starts to shift to while the the
officials just let it go because now you're talking about
(11:25):
the the impartiality, the fairness, uh, and claiming that the
officials are on, you know, in cahoots to make this
a bad Well, I mean that that it's a play
that the officials just throw their hands out say they're
in cohots with each other. It ties to our conversation
(11:45):
about the match. I'm gonna take us back to the thirties.
I'm going to use the time the terminology. While I'm
at it, I'm gonna go to a speakeasy. But it's
they're complicit of it, like what are we going to
do right? And and that's the last thing you want
the league to say, is well, it looks this way,
it looks that way. And that's part of the Tom
Brady argument folks are making it looks bad. Well, in
(12:07):
this case, you're actually seeing the video evidence where you
can call the false start and you don't. And when
you also have the push from behind, well that's something
that's outlawed. Defensively, you get no run there. And we
already know the rules are problematic in that regard that
everything's against your defense forward progress, all of that, you know,
(12:31):
check all those boxes that you know. You're trying to
talk again about fairness on the play. But certainly the
officials throwing up their hands going, hey, we don't know.
You know, years ago it was he's on the bottom
of the pile giving them one of these yeah, what
does that mean?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
But here it's like, all right, his hurts, where's he
actually down? Now?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
If he's well past the goal line? Fine, yeah, but
they don't use it just as a goal line.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
They use it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
They use it every one it's third in this it's that.
I mean, it's like I said, it's they've been looking
for a way.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
What's the right way? Right? What's the what's the right
way in?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
They really thought safety, and that's safety.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But but if you could point to players getting hurt,
like you get stories, Jason Kelcey would always say, Man,
I always yell blank in my life when we do
a play like that, right, But but Jason Kelcey turned
out to be fine. If you if you had stories
of guys getting hurt, that would have been a thing.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
But there weren't any. Right.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So they're trying to push in prod and I use
the exact like when you're playing Jenga and you just
kind of push the blocks and see which one all
that one moves, I can that's the one I'm gonna
take out.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Put at the top.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
If you're pushing the block, I'm not getting I'm not
getting any resistance on it. I'm leaving that block there.
It's like they're pushing with all these different ways to say, hey,
this touss push should be banned. And they've been doing
it for the better part of three years now, but
this when this first came up their first run to
the Super Bowl, when they lost to the Cheese, It's like,
I thought the play was gonna get banned in the
off season then, but no that we're sticking around.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
We're sticking around. We're sticking around. I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I don't see how in the off season it still
stays around. Especially if the Eagles win the Super Bowl again,
they're gonna say, okay, we are No matter what I feel,
I'm not gonna let them win the Super Bowl because
they run this play again. I'm banning that play, right,
I'm banning that play. But really, if you go through
the officiating process of it, I don't know that you
(14:27):
get any sort of of of rally around it to say, well,
what do you mean. It's just because it's not able
to see what's going on doesn't mean you can't not.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Have the play.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I'm sorry, I'm going away, Like that's like that's what
Nick Sirianni would have to say, like, there's no leg
to stand on with, Hey, we got to keep it going.
The officials can't do it. So if Eagles would then
have to say, well, how do we save the play? Well, okay, guys,
don't jump. We got to line up a certain way.
We got to make sure we're doing We don't want
this play to be banned. But more than likely the
Eagles are just saying blanket, they're gonna band it after
(15:03):
the season anyway, Let's just do it until we can't
do it anymore. Like that's kind of where the way
the Eagles have gone it because, if anything, they've gone
in that direction because they know there's such a there's
such an opinion of it from the league that gets
bigger and bigger the more times they they're able to
execute it. Then now it's like, you know what, screw it,
they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna do it. At some point.
Let's just keep doing it how we want to do it.
(15:25):
We'll maybe get another super Bowl out of it.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah, maybe you'll get called for a penalty or two
and you have to change up the timing, the cadence, whatever,
and maybe the advantage gets slightly taken away, But I
mean we watched other teams try to replicate it with
not a whole lot of success. Hell, I mean, how
many years did we watch guys that couldn't operate the
basic quarterback sneak or.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Wouldn't even try it? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Right, I mean that was one of the big knocks
if you get into Phil Rivers' career. I mean, yeah, no,
no massive win in terms of you know, making that
big run, but one of the things you never had
was all right, it's fourth and one, Well we know,
damn well, he's not tucking in. Whereas I mean, that
was one of the things Brady excelled at, right, was
finding the soft spot on the line to get.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And that's the thing is people forget the Patriots did
this to an art level before it was because what
the Patriots would do is after a big play, they
would line up really fast and Brady, we get the
snop right away, like they were such a well.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Well designed to get that one or two steps to
the left or right do the little head die.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
But teams couldn't get all their personnel close to the line.
They would do it really fat like whatever signal would
come from the sideline. They'd be up there while the
other team is trying to look what are they gonna do?
And I'm like, I'd watch that all the time, and Brady,
we get a yard and a half every single time
in the quarterback sneaking.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Where you have it now and they're running it on
third down, on fourth down, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I mean, I can't fault a good strategy. No exit
out about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You want your blueprint to get the Toush push band.
That's how you get write your congressman twice a day.
Coming up next week, we got a big hot take
on a story you've been talking about all night. Plus
what NFL team is really excited after their win this
weekend really shouldn't be.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
Now you want to go watch Deadwood?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio.
Jason Harmon speaking of Wilfred Mee Pop Fisher. Look, the
biggest story today, I think we all woke up kind
of a shock the passing of Robert Redford at the
age of eighty nine. Man it is, and honestly, I
really I thought he would be that guy that would
(18:48):
live longer because you see even recent interviews with him,
he's still really sharp. He was still acting is in
the Avengers movies. Like I thought he'd be one of
those guys that would get well into his nineties, just
you know, that kind of composition I thought he would get.
So I was kind of shocked today to see that.
But you know, listen to celebrate his life. I mean, look,
(19:09):
you look up movie star in the dictionary. It's his picture, right.
There's very few people you can say that about. There's
big stars, there's big actors that but you look up
movie star.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
His picture is there.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Tom Cruise's picture is there, Julia Roberts's picture is there.
Meryl Streep's picture is like Robert Redford. Movie star and
one of the biggest stars on the planet in the
sixties and the seventies and still stayed a huge deal
in the eighties and the nineties and was still relevant
in the two thousands. He was still doing movies that
people went to see and then jumped into the MCU
and there's so many kids you just know him as
(19:40):
he's a guy from the MCRE. There wasn't a superhero. Well, yeah,
Alexander Pierce. Yeah, sure he was.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I'm kind a big deal, you know. But I'll tell
you what was really cool to see today was.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
That in.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
To see on social media the people talking about Robert
Redford and his influence in so many different places. Right
to see the one movie that everybody gravitated to more
than the others be The Natural. That was my favorite
thing of today seeing it, Like, because look, you know,
I'm the original Butch and Sundance guy, right Like, that's
I tell you, you talk about me, know and Caddyshack,
(20:13):
all the Butcher Sundance lines. I can run top to
bottom like that. That is a that is a guy's
guy movie right there, I will tell you.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
And that is like, and I'm okay with Sam much.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
But everybody comes back to the Natural, And is it
just because it's a sports movie? Is because it's because
the movie was timeless and it's about a topic that
everybody can understand, right and even in sports, it's okay,
here's a great player who you know, made a big
(20:45):
mistake earlier in his life and he gets one chance
at it. We love a redemption story and we love
the timelessness of ay here he is involved in potential
illegal gambling on sporting events. What's one of the big
stories in twenty twenty five players gambling on sporting Was he.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
A member of the Guardians.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
This is a movie that would that came out in
nineteen eighty four, that took place in nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
We're almost one hundred years later. Yeah, we got gambling
and sports.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Now Robert Redford is not sitting in the New York
Nights locker room, you know, making bets on his cell phone,
going hey, Robert, you gotta you gotta be off the premises.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yeah, you can't be in the team facilities. You gotta
be beyond that shrubbery. I know, young Berry is pitching
for the Pirates. Say you want to bet on him,
It's got to be all the way over there. But
like I, I but it's it's really I'm really so
happy to see that that this is the movie that's
getting that kind of attention because you know, to look
at that film and and being a sports film like
(21:38):
it's it's probably my favorite sports film of all time
because I.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
It's one of is that the one that goods to
It's not for him because what I go, what I
go for now by how great movies are is how
many times I will stop to watch it when it's on. Now,
it doesn't have to actively seek it out because there's
so many choices, and I have to turn on cable
and go, did oh this is cool? Like I could
go and try to find it, or you know, I
get oh, it's for free on param or it's but
oh the natural is an't. We're gonna watch it like
(22:02):
the Knights are in Chicago, gonna watch it the rest
of the way. Sorry, this is what we're doing. Uh,
we're gonna okay here, We're gonna watch all these strikes
out the whammer. Then I'm gonna make a sandwich. I'll
run to the store. I'm gonna get back by the time. Eh,
maybe I'll get back after Bump Bailly's funeral, right, Like,
this is what I'm timing things out by. But that's
always a movie that I that I stop and see.
And one of the other one of the other things
(22:24):
it has is that I always look at how well
acted a movie is, top to bottom, and you get
movies where where people have give you performances that just
blow you away. But this is one from the top
of the call sheet to the bottom of the call sheet.
Everybody in it is absolutely fantastic, whether it's Redford or
Robert Duvall or Robert Prosky or Kim Basinger, who I'm
(22:46):
not the biggest fan of, but this is probably the best.
But she was phenomenal in this movie. Is memo Glenn
closees fan just the small moments Glenn Close has with
with Robert Redford when she's keeping the secret that yes,
I have our son and I don't want to parse
that out to you, but I'm I don't know how
to really talk to you about it since you're here
in my living room and I came to see you
(23:07):
and stood up and you hit a home run and
broke broke a clock. Uh you know, Uh, Wilfred Brimley,
Darren McGavin, you just go all the way down. Michael
Manson is phenomenal. He embodies that character of Bump Bailey.
He's such a jerk and he's such an entitled superstar. Hey, Bump,
why didn't you slide? That is a guard in my
back pocket. I didn't want to break it. Oh okay,
(23:29):
you know all these all these slow things that you see,
these subtle moments.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
That that's why this movie I think cuts through for
so many people. Like there's a bet we can talk
about the sting and and and all the President's men
and look at this tense moment all the pre yes
as one hundred percent. Are you stopping to watch all
the presidents men every time it comes out? Now, you're
probably not right. He's like, oh, I saw it and
it was great, and maybe I saw it again, but okay,
you see the phone call scene. Maybe I've seen that.
(23:55):
You're not doing it for that movie, but you're doing
it for the Natural. So it was so much fun
to see it get recognized today as when we talk
about Redford's career, there's so many things you can choose from,
and everybody chose The Natural and I love that.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah, it's just the the pick your your favorite moment, right,
Like I have so many of his movies that that
are that are part of you know what I used
to watch with my dad, would you know the mcu
uh with my daughters, uh and introducing them somewhere along
the line. You know, it's one that I haven't had
I guess what you would call linear cable in a while.
(24:32):
So in terms of scrolling down, it's like, hey, there
it is. It's not one that I found and even
we're going to watch it today. It became the all right,
what service is it on? And what am I gonna
have to pay? Uh to watch it?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Kind of right.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
We were going through the uh, the the channel guide
here once we got into the studio, going come on,
it's gotta be out here somewhere, and then we settled
for the next best alternative in your world, which is moneyball.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, and you started quoting and act.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
And you missed your your queue and blocking on one
part of the scene, but otherwise you had it every
piece of it. But it's all about period movies that
transcend the period as well, right, because this could have
been anytime to your point of how many stories do
we have? We talked about in the last year of players, clubhouses,
(25:23):
who knew, who knew what where and how related to
gambling and you know, all the shadowy figures that are
around athletes and the murky situations they get themselves into.
Not often you get you know, the extra bloody guy
up at the plate. But I mean it's a nice
little thing. I mean, we've got bad circumstances that happened.
(25:45):
I'm thinking of a football movie of guys with handguns
running through the through the line of scrimmage and stuff.
But yeah, bad things happening, man. But you know, we
celebrate all those those instances, and sports movies always, you know,
resonate on so many different levels, and you pick your
scenes and characters. But Robert Redford, mean, he always look
(26:08):
like a little kid on the screen, no matter how
old he got, Like, always had that twinkle in the ad,
a smile. And today all these people realizing the memes,
it's like, wait, that was.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Red Yeah, Jeremiah john that's not Zach allifhan Atkus.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
That one was funny, Like I must have seen that
from like fifteen different people, Like I didn't know that
was him.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Are you ready to sports talk radio the Natural? Ready
for this?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Yeah, let's go. Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
The Pirates manager should be fired. Okay, Pirates fired because
they completely blew the end of this game. Okay, Pirates
are up to nothing in the bottom of the ninth
inning against the Knights, the three outs away from going
to the World Series. Young Berry is pitching, well right done?
Giving up three hits in the game or a couple
(26:52):
of hits in the game. Then what happens. Okay, two outs,
Bivins hits one off the wall. They get a crazy
grounder that gets a little bit misplayed the third baseman.
The throat to first base is a little wild. The
tag is the ball comes out, and now the Knights
have first and third. Two outs, and here comes Roy Hobbs. Okay,
this is the best hitter in all of baseball. He
(27:13):
had rewritten record books in a little over half a season.
The guy had forty home runs. It's something crazy like that.
You walk him, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
You go to the next batter.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Who we even know who the cleanup hitter was on
that team. He's never even on camera. You go to
the next hitter, You go to the cleanup batter. You
put the best hitter in the game on even if
he turns out to be the winning run, and you
take your chances with whoever comes up next. But no,
they decide to pitch to him. Okay, what happens young Berry?
First two pitches way outside, way out of the strike zone.
(27:45):
Sibby Sisty, former mlber time out, comes to the mound,
takes out young Berry, brings in John Rhodes, and here
comes John Rhoades, Nebraska farm Boys, strides to the mound.
They say he's got the best fastball in the major leagues.
Right now, not even a full season. You're walking Hobbs
because you're inheriting a two and o count, right, and
Hobbs at two and oh count. I don't care what
(28:07):
kind of fastball John Rhodes has. You're putting him on
first because now he's hitting with a two and o count.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
His batting Roy Hobbes batting after the two and oh
count had to be around six hundred.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
But now, to put this in perspective, Jason was already
going down this highway for all of you out there,
long before the latest meltdown by the Dodgers Bolt Pen. Okay,
this is not clouding any of his analysis.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
He was already going down this highway.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So trine And gives up a bit. So you put
him on at that point. You're not gonna have your
your reliever come in and try to try to get him.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Out, right.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That's a ridiculously horrible strategy. And what happens. He takes
him deep for a home run away He battled at
two and two. Now that's the other part of it. Now,
so it's two and zero. Rhodes comes in with a
fastball inside that Hobbs fouls right back, right, breaks the
glass in front of Max Mercy.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Oh, straight back, just missed it.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, next pitch is kind of is over the plate
and Hobbs misses it right, misses the fastball. Okay, So
now you've had two fastballs. Next pitch inside fastball that
Hobbs nearly hits a home run on, just miss it,
just curves Foust.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Yeah, this guy was trying to announce his presence with authority.
At this point, it's two and two. You've just thrown
three fastballs on the inside half of the plate. The
catcher sees that Roy Hobbs is bleeding profusely from his side.
He's got three slashes like Wolverine got him.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
And you know it's okay, let's see.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
So do you call something inside where you think he
can jerk it, or do you call something on the
outside part of the plate to make him chase because again,
bleeding profusely from a bullet wound.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Right, So okay, So.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
The catcher looks, yeah, give me the fastball inside.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Oh, I don't know that that's the right call.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
And what happens. Hobbs not doesn't put it in the seats.
He breaks a light at the top of the stadium
that of course breaks all the other lights because you know, Hollywood,
two horrible mistakes there. And I'm sure that they were
calling pitches because you know, he gives the he gives
a sign. The first was curved, then fastball inside, so
obviously he was a second sign coming fastball inside.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
The manager of the Pirates fired right away. And I
don't know how that's your pitch sequence, right, That's something
they would see broken down after the game.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Is over by uh by a Rod or Jeter going.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Hey, you don't come inside with three fastballs and then
come inside with another one. The guy's gonna tie. I
don't care what kind of fastball you have. The guy's
the best hitter in baseball. He's gonna time that, damn.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
But he's hitting it way. He's got one swing left.
Throw something and plate get him too, Chase, and he's
in a back of bats.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Have you seen Roy Hobbs at one home run to
the opposite fields.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
No, he's been a dead pole hitter.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
The thing was fifty rows back crush that make him
go the other way if you make that injury a
little more by making.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Him stretch and go around his body.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Absolutely terrible, terrible strategy. Terrible strategy. Right that's it's sports
stalk radio, the end of the natural right there. Horrible strategy.
Roy Hobbs hero, why's he shaking me off?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Okay? Mean time not to find out what's trending in
the wide world of sports.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
And someone who's been called the Al Fowler of Fox
Sports Radio. The only way he gives up runs is
if he's given him to the other team because he's
in on the take.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
It's Steve Disaber.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
No, No, it was just those bulky uniforms they were wearing,
very heavy and too many day games. We had a
little bit of history, had won World Series for so long. Well,
there's your there's a reason we had a lot of
history in the Dodger Stadium game tonight, not on the
good side for LA. In fact, they became the first team,
AP says since at least nineteen oh six to get
(31:44):
five no hit innings or more from the starting pitcher
and still have your bullpen allowed nine runs or more
in the same game. Philly's got a three run homer
top of the ninth to win in LA nine to six.
The Phillies had clinched the NL East title last night
show heyw Tani pitch, no hit innings, bullpen, then give
up six runs in the sixth, though Tani later with
his fiftieth homer of the season, so he individually is
(32:07):
now the only MLB player in the modern era to
have these five no hit innings or more and also
homer at the plate, and yet his team loses the game.
So we can update the Dodger relievers in these two
nights against the Phillies. So far eight and a third innings,
fourteen runs allowed. The Diamondbacks are still game and a
(32:30):
half at the last NL Wildcard behind the Mets Arizona
with a run bottom of the ninth at San Francisco
six to five. The Mets at home beat the Padres
eight to three. Pete Alonzo is thirty fifth homer, Francisco
Alvarez left hit by a pitch on the arm. The
Padre loser Michael King was down seven to one in
the second inning. The Padres still two games back of
the first place Dodgers in the NL West. In the
(32:52):
AL West, the Mariner is still a half game over Houston.
Seattle won its tenth game in a row twelve five
at Kansas City cal Raley with two more homers he
has fifty six. Houston held on six to five over
Texas wins for again Toronto, they're six in a row,
and the Yankees. They were up ten to one in
the fourth at Minnesota and beat the Twins ten to nine.
(33:12):
But the A's won their fifth in a row two
to one at Boston. Cleveland won it's fifth straight. Brewers
and Cubs each one. WNBA Playoff wins for Indiana and
for Seattle with a late comeback to beat Las Vegas
and Ndace's seventeen game winning streak, and Vikings running back
Aaron Jones, with the bad hamstring, was placed on injured reserve.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Back to you.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Magas Steve though coming up next.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
One NFL team is still dining out on their win
from Sunday, and I'll.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Tell you why.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
It's the last thing that team should be celebrating. That's
next right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio, Fox
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon Cowboy Hobo. So uh sorry to all the
Dodger fans of the pen is that bad?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
But wow, the memes of the bullpen.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
You know what I'm starting to see and U c
l A Dodger Fray, I think he's losing the u
c l A off his UH tag after Dodger Frank
after might go to our guy, Frank, I'm just Frank
to describe the Dodger bullpen.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
He used the Rosenthal look.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Before before he knocked, then after when he's looking down
on him with disdain and derision. And wow, this is
some next level stuff, the memes and the uh the vitriol,
and it comes back to let me ask you this,
And we talked about it live as it went on.
I still wondered if we we shouldn't have gotten one
more attempted inning on the show. Donnie, Eventually you're going
(34:47):
to the pen. I mean, eventually you're going to the pen.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
I know that we just would have gotten six and
the seventh.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
They were just waiting. They were just lying in waiting. Sorry,
we're good, but but we haven't gotten a hit.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
He's gonna be wounded like that baseball player that came
up and was all beating.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
So we were gonna bust him in.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Absolutely fine, We're all gonna hit like the natural in
this game.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Wait for it, good, wait for it.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
But look, the last twenty four hours have been filled
with a lot of Dallas Cowboys self congratulations.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Right, they're so happy and ill.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Look I get Brian Schottenheimer's happy winning his first first game.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Locker, Come on, man has he he hasn't looked at
happy since hanging out with How about them Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Jabbie Johnson had to have it? I mean, uh, we
won the game. Uh, the Cowboys stink. Okay, that's the
thing the Cowboys. Wait, there's only one thing wrong with
one thing on the Cowboys. The Cowboys stink. And I
can't celebrate this Cowboys win, and they shouldn't either, because
the Giants are awful. This is a bad team that
(35:53):
needed fortune to smile on them, so many different ways
to beat a worst.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Team and then entertaining.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
They needed a sixty four yard field goal after giving
up a Russell Wilson touchdown on on a moon ball.
They hat a guy that shouldn't even be starting for
the Giants anymore.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Throw for four.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Hundred and thirty yards. Man, Come on, and you needed
every bit of that to beat.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
The Giants limited they stink.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Like to celebrate this is to ignore the reality that, boy,
things are really bad for the Cowboys. They stink, They
absolutely stink. And to understand just what the Cowboys are. Okay, Well,
they gave the Phillies a tough the Phillies, they gave
the Eagles a tough game.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah, and then the bullpen, and the bullpen came in.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Everything was fine, but you know, Jaylen pass, Jalen Cole,
run aloud. Carter getting thrown out of the game was
a pretty big deal like that, I don't think the
game would have been quite as close. But yes, they
give them a push most of the game. It's opening week.
They need everything they can to beat an awful Giants team.
The Cowboy are the same team I told you they'd
be in the preseason. They're a team that, hey, they're
(37:04):
not really good, but don't get in a shootout with them,
because that then you might find yourself on the wrong
end of the final score. Because they have a lot
of weapons on offense, and they do right. You see,
Dak can go up and down the field with CD
and pickings and and and and Ferguson. It's it's a
pretty good offense, right, they can get up and down there.
But they're not a good team. They're not good. That's
who they are. Hey, don't get involved in a shootout
(37:26):
with them. And clearly they need every single bit of
a shootout to beat the Giants. Again, when a bad
team needs every bit of luck they can get and
they rub that rabbit's foot just to beat a team
that's worse than them, How good are they?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Real?
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Are you saying that ibra flus isn't gonna get that
defense cooking over flu? You know, you really can't play
a zone when you're starting corners and everybody are out.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
You can't do anything.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
You can't you don't have a pass rush.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
No, you know, they could have used Michael Parsons used him, man,
really could have used them.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Didn't have Thenbody's just why they're now going back and Clowney.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
And the Cowboys like like Jerry Jones is running this like, hey,
we look like they just beat the Chiefs, or they
beat or they beat the Eagles or the Bills.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
Hey, look at the big win.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
We just said.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Now we got Clowny. There's a reason why Clowny has
been out there the whole time. Three take your shot.
It's not like suddenly, Hey, get guess who decided he
wanted to play and came back into the United States
like he was away looking Antarctica or some sort of darknest.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Hey, we got clown.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know, anybody could have had him, anybody could have
had him. But you gotta stop the run. You know,
you gotta stop the run. Stop the run. The Cowboys
are bad. The only thing I can say is that
man fortune smiled on this week because they get the Bears,
who are in worse shape than the Cowboys are and
maybe as bad as the Giants.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Wow, their defense is pretty bad. Juice deck load him up.
Oh I'm telling you man the over for this Cowboys
Bears game.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
This is.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Seven written all over. Caleb Williams and Tyson Beage touchdowns.
Look at you getting Beijing in my buddy, Ben Malice
