(00:54):
season took a turn tonight, even unexpected for going all in,
that would be an understatement.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
All in, man, all in. This is where you left
everything behind. This is the definition of all in. The
Bengals beat.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The Cowboys twenty seven to twenty and they do it
thanks to a botched play at the end of the
fourth quarter at the two minute warning that just defies logic.
But again, this is a team that had leon let
So what happened was this. The game was tied at
twenty apiece and the Bengals were facing a fourth and
(01:36):
twenty seven two minutes left to go. They're punting to
the Dallas Cowboys from their own twenty nine yard line. Punting, right,
weget it. Cowboys have a chance and we're gonna go
down the field. Cooper Rush is going, this is my moment. Oh,
things are great, and we'll have a well the big
hot take on Cooper Rush and Dak Prescott.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
This is the moment.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
But the Cowboys are getting the ball back two minutes left,
tie game, twenty twenty. Except this is what happened on
the punt that flipped the game forever in favor of
the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
All right, here's the punt by Ryan Rayco. It is blocked.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
The Bengals are gonna have the ball, No, can't touch
it beyond the line of scrimmage, and the Bengals you're
gonna have it at the forty.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Five brad Sham Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
The Cowboys block the punt, however, the ball goes past
the line of scrimmage. Amani or Uaria decides to try
to grab it when it's bouncing in front of him.
This is a ball that's gonna go out of bounds
around midfield. Okay, this is where the ball is gonna
go out of bounds, and ouraria decides, I'm gonna grab it.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
The ball is bouncing, it's bounding. He tries to catch
it and it bounces off his left hand, over his
head and it's recovered by the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
To That was kind of the call. That was pretty
well done. Suck again, That's kind of what it sounded like.
We suck again. Uh wait, we're gonna have to play
that against No, oh no, we suck again. Just always
love the analysts excited. No yeah, these guys are getting
paid to talk about football, and yet they come up and.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Say no, no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
No, that's gonna be you in five months with one,
so stop you kidding.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
After his fiftieth home run, no more, no more. The
doctors can't take any more. They can't take any more.
The Mets keep winning. The Mets to stop.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Stop he's already dead.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Oh no, so decides to try to make the play.
The Bengals recover, They get the ball at midfield. They
continue their drive. Joe Burrow throws a touchdown to Jamar Chase,
who caught fourteen passes to Night who was absolutely uncoverable.
Cowboys get the ball back for one last gas drive.
They're stopped on downs and the Bengals walk away with
(04:05):
a twenty seven to twenty victory, keeping their faint playoff
hopes alive. However, it's the Cowboys that could have had
the ball at midfield two minutes left. Everything looks great
except oh no, we suck again.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
No no, no.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Just absolutely amazing. Right, you're like, all right here it
comes Cooper rush, hero moment. Let's see what the drive becomes.
We get the block like a fine get away from
the ball. Let's see where they start, and we're gonna
get a two minute drill between two teams at the
outer rings. Like if this is what saturn, we're pretty
(04:42):
far out there on the rings of the playoffs, Dude,
you are on haff and nically, that's how far.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Because it's holidays, it's cold holiday, you are on half
of the far. And the thing is the Cowboys were
kind of getting if they got to six and seven,
it was ay, wait a minute, that we're not playing
real teams.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
But hey, wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
But it's the NFC. It's a mess at the back end, right,
You've got the teams at the top that are heavyweights.
We all acknowledge it, Philly in Detroit, and your Sam
Darnold led Minnesota Vikings, and then you've got everybody else.
This is this, This was an opportunity this play and
you could see it right away.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The Cowboys knew. And here's the thing is that I
don't know if or.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Okay, the ball either got duffed or it got blocked,
whatever it was, but I'm gonna stop it from going downfield.
Well here's the ball coming out. I'm gonna stop instead
of getting.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
No matter what you've heard.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And that's the thing is that is that how many
do you see these on special teams all the time
from players that aren't used to playing a lot that
they freeze up or they don't know the rule, They
freeze up when they know they have to get away
from it because the special teams coaches tell you at
the first meeting day one hour one special teams, Hey,
welcome to the NFL. Here's when you don't touch the ball.
Special teams just so you know here, here, here, here,
(06:02):
and here. When you block a punt, don't touch it,
don't try to catch it.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Right. Here's Leon Lett from nineteen ninety and they still
run this video.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Pete Toyatovitch is making all kinds of royalties because I
had just showed him on this missing a field goal.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Right, you keep showing this. It happens all the time.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
It happens way too much for players in the NFL
because on special teams, guys don't see the field as much.
They freeze up when something happens. And I have a
chance to make a player not make a play what's
the right thing, and you lose it. And I understand
how it happens. But this is the NFL. Man, you
gotta know, Okay, this is blocked or this is bouncing,
(06:37):
no matter what, I'm trying to catch him. This is
not an on side kick where I got up, get
in front of it and try to catch because if not,
they're just gonna plow me and they're gonna get the ball. Right,
just get away from you know, no matter what the
situation is. I don't know if it was blocked. I
don't know if he duffed it. But I gotta get
away from it. But I want to stop it because
it's bouncing downfield. It's at the forty five yard line.
It's gonna go out of bound. You you see the
(06:57):
way the ball is bouncing. You've seen that video more
than a play in your career. You gotta get out
of the way. You gotta get out of way. And
you can see the player there.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
They were taking their helmets off and Micah Parsons was mad,
and players on the field were like, what are we doing?
And Joe Burrow was like he was like sitting down
like having cake, and they said, Joe, get back up
in the game. Oh okay. It's like Damon Wayne's any
given Sunday, he's eating doritos.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Hey getting the game. Our quarterbacks there, all right, I
gotta go play. He's like, all right, we're getting the
ball back. Oh great, and he becomes a first down
because it's past the line of scrimmage, and and it's
everything went with the after a block punt. Everything went the.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Bengals way, and it went opposite of the Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Well, the shot of Burrow on the bench like cause
he's coming off the field, they're punting. He's pissed right,
opportunity to go and get a win, and again the
Bengals haff is what we're gonna use in terms of
where you're at and playoff potential. But Miami beat the Jets.
You've got these different scenarios at the back end of
(07:57):
the grid where you at least have a punch chance, right,
So go take care of business in this one. And
he's resigned to all right, I'm hoping to get the
ball back with a couple of seconds left or an
overtime or however it's going to become. And then all
of a sudden you say, hey, grab your helmet, get
back out there. Uh, and looking around because nobody knews.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Hap I got a sandwich coming. I'm really coming back out, okay,
Like everybody's good, Figure it right, Parsons.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
He said he was asking the referee for an explanation
of what was going on because it wasn't clear the
broadcast booth for for ESPN, they struggled with what actually
occurred on the play.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
He really did, he did, I didn't even see the
face mask on burn.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's a fair point too.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
One of the many calls that leave you scratching your
head or lack thereof. But but yeah, all of that
to say, here's your opportunity for Cooper Rush for this offense,
and instead it goes down and you might have to
explain to millennials who leon Lett was.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Got to explain the millennials who Dak Prescott was now
yet not too soon. This gets into a different conversation.
You're ready for a big Cowboys hot take. It's not
that Dak Prescott is bad. Dak Prescott's a good quarterback.
Is he overpaid?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah? And are the Cowboys gonna win with him?
Speaker 6 (09:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
How do I know this?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
The last couple of years, Dak Prescott has missed games
because of injury, and you would think that if Dak
Prescott is that good of quarterback of a twelve win
Cowboy team, when he misses games, the Cowboys are gonna
struggle and suffer. However, when Cooper Rush plays quarterback, the
(09:40):
Cowboys still are really competitive and they still win a
little bit. They would have won tonight if they had
not biff that punt and this has been another win
for the Cowboys. When you think their season is over
and Dak Prescott is hurt, and here they are six
and seven, winning some games and getting back into it.
And again, this doesn't mean that Dak Prescott bad, but
(10:01):
when the drop off of your team's play when your
quarterback is out is not that great, how good of
a quarterback is he really? How much of a difference
maker is he really for the team because you watch
him stink in the playoffs and get blamed for everything,
and he has had playoff stinkers the last two years
have sent the Cowboys home. You would think that it'd
(10:23):
be the like if Josh Allen playing quarterback and then
when Joe Ferguson has to come in, because you know
Joe Ferguson's seventy look, but you did like you would think, Okay,
the drop off is going to be huge, But the
drop off when Dak is playing to win the Cowboy
to when Cooper Rush is playing isn't that great. That
should tell you how overrated Dak Prescott is and what
the Cowboys think of him as being a franchise quarterback.
(10:45):
You've seen the best of Dak. He's got you to
twelve wins, got you the playoffs, and then single handedly
cost you a couple of games. That drop off if
Dak Prescott is really that good, should be all the
way down, and the Cowboys should be just getting rolled
over now no matter who they're playing, it should be
rollover games. We're done, we're on to next season. But
the Cowboys still play tough, they're still competitive, and they
(11:06):
still win a little bit so and again they don't
win like Dak Prescott all suddenly, Dak Prescott is out there.
It no, but they're still much more competitive and they
win more than you think. When when that difference between
Dak playing and Dak not playing, you can see that left.
It should be wider if Dak is really that good.
And that's why the Cowboys are stuck because you're stuck
paying a guy now is gonna eat up a big
(11:28):
percentage of your of your salary cap. You're stuck paying
him because you wanted to pay him because you thought
he was a big star and you wanted to pay
him and you wanted to have a big headline, when
really you should have let Dak go to another team
and start over a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You've seen it suddenly.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Now Dak's gonna be better when he's over thirty than
he was before thirty.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No, it's not gonna happen. Not gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
You know the other thing, this was a data point
that we were robbed of for Cooper Rush. He's now
seven and four as the quarterback. He only completes about
sixty one percent of his pass so you're down about
six percent from what Dak is for his career. But
Rush is about two touchdowns per interception. And you know
what else he is. He's a free agent two years,
(12:09):
five million dollars. We were cheated out of the opportunity
for us to start talking about how he was gonna
get one hundred million dollars deal for what he did
on Monday night as Homer Simpson was running around as
him and all of those things.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
No stop, no, come on, man, be serious.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Of course, the Jets are gonna sign Cooper Rush to
be their quarterback next year.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Go on, man, you kidding.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
He's at the back end of a two year, five
million dollar deal. We've already talked about the draft class
and the free agent class. Cooper Rush has an opportunity
to audition these finalver rusheks.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
He'll be starting for Mike Vrabel and the Jets next year.
Just watch, just watch, trust me, that's gonna happen, Exit
out about Presco Exit Swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show
with My best friend Mike Harmon. Right now, Steve Cohen
has his contract out to Cooper rush In hand Enhands.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Coming up next.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
One more more on the Cowboys lost to the Bengals,
and a take you're not gonna believe. I'm gonna have
on one soda. That's next Jason to Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
He sucks.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon.
More in the Cowboys and the Bengals coming up in
a couple of minutes. But I'm gonna say this about
one soda. You're gonna go wow, Okay, you must believe it. Well, yeah,
but it's it's kind of a hot take.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
And He's good.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Soda is really good. And now the first I want
to becord you to the hot take. I want to
say that, yes, you gonna keep He's good because he's mad.
He's mad that the Dodgers didn't get it. The Dodgers got.
The Dodgers didn't get a guy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
He's got. You get the low hanging fruit and you've
not swung the clone because I don't need to. I
don't need to s I don't need to. It's fun.
You know where hit him in her sweep the Dodgers.
It's gonna be fun. Look.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
The biggest thing that when this happened last night, all
of a sudden, I was like, oh okay. I knew
that the Mets were going to get him. It was
the way everything was going. And you see reports today
from different sources saying that the Yankees other teams just
had had the impression and knew that no matter what
they offered, Steve Cohen was going to offer more, because
(14:44):
again he's the richest owner in all of sports, and
he's more or less said that that was gonna be
I'm going to do it.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So, which is, hey, fans.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
This is what I mean when I say when you
have a great owner GM and manager coach, you can
sustain winning for a long time. And the Mets have that,
and the teams like the Jets don't. But those are
the three most important things you have in your organization.
We have a great owner and a GM slash president
of operations and a manager head coach. When you have that,
(15:15):
you can do it. And the Mets have it. They
became a destination. That's why jan Soto wanted to go there. Yes,
they're a better destination than the Yankees because they have
a more sustained plan for winning. Congratulations, sorry Yankees. But
the biggest thing that hit me was that, all of
a sudden, even though I knew this was happening, all
of a sudden, bam, the Mets identity for the next
fifteen years is Juan Soto.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Like that's it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Like all of a sudden, it went from hey, maybe
they're gonna get Won Soto, not Lindor, not Alonso, not
all of a sudden, Bam, the Mets are Juan Soto
for the next fifteen years, a guy that I've watched
play for the last seven years, who's really really good.
Never thought about getting him on on my team and
all this stuff. But all of a sudden, bam, now
he is who the Mets are, for better or for worse,
(15:57):
for the next fifteen years, and all of us sudden,
that's happened in a blink, Like guys like Lindor who
went so much finished second MVP voting this year, everything
it's like, yeah, one Soto's team now, it's one Soto's
team now, and it's and I'm still not used to it.
It's still something that that is odd that I that
I'm not that I'm not quite wrapped my head around yet,
that that's that, that's where he's our identity for the
(16:18):
next fifteen years.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Yeah, I look at it from a is he wanting
to be that guy? At least in the moment it
would appear with the giant check. It goes back to
the old well, let's Quot's quote spider Man, you know,
with great power. Spider Man's a great response man. And
now you're the guy for better, for worse and all
(16:41):
successes and failures like Bonds and a Rod and all
those other guys. It now flows through like Aaron Judge, Right,
great year, what's everybody gonna remember the fly ball?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Dropping the fly ball? That's his legacy. That's it.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
So for Wan Soto went now becomes the Everett bat.
Every ball you field, it's you that team, that brand.
You might as well just get the giant ass tattoo
on your back at this sure, because you are them,
they are you, we are, dude, that's mindset.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I don't know. Sweet.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Now here's the other part of it, right, so you know,
you know I believe this because I'm because I'm telling
you the truth. If you didn't get one soda, right,
the Yankees, the Blue Jays, the Red Sox, the Dodgers,
all the teams that were supposedly in it till the
end before and Steve coent out bit everybody.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well, those are the all the teams that didn't want them.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, you're just upset because you didn't get them. You're
upset because you didn't get them. Sorry, I'm sorry you
didn't get one soda. Once in a while. The Dodgers
are not gonna get a guy who says I want
to show up to go to the Dodgers once in
a while, it's gonna happen. Only one team was dumb enough,
just be you'd just be happy for me for five minutes,
Just for five minutes beyond, I'm happy for you and
your team to play. If it wasn't a good move,
(18:01):
I meant, if it wasn't a good Okay, I get that.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I get it now. It took a while the double negatives.
I get it now. I get it now.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
So because I said this when the Sodo stuff was
going on. If the Mets got Sodo, great, If not, okay,
they'll go on and spend money and get other players
to come in because they've already built a team and
they'll they'll try to fill out their pieces, which is
how the other teams need to look at this, because
it's not like Juan Soto, and this contract doesn't come
(18:29):
without risks.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
There's a ton of any.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Time you sign a guy for this long and this
amount of money, or a big amount of money, it's
a risk.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Is it more of a risk for a picture, Yes, absolutely,
hundred percent. Pictures I wouldn't want these contracts. But yeah,
there's still a risk for Wan Soda. There's still an
injury risk. There's still a motivation risk. As much as
Won Soda wants to win, Are you really motivating when
you got seventy seven million dollars a year guaranteed for
the rest of your career? Okay, not that he's not,
but it's a worry. You're worried about the money that
(18:57):
he's gonna take up of the payroll because it's still
so many some on million dollars a year now and
Baseball's not gonna do you any favors and continue to
push the luxury tax up so you can, oh, you
have to pay it. No, they don't want Steve Cohen
to do this. They don't like the Steve Cohen's come
in and said blank you I'll pay over this luxury
tax and they don't want that. So, yeah, there's built
in risks, and so it's not like suddenly, hey, I
(19:19):
know that this is this is nothing but great. Anytime
you're gonna sign somebody for that long and you give
them that kind of money, there are risks.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
The Bryce Harper contract's been great for Philadelphia for a
long time. But eventually he's gonna stop playing the field.
Is he's still gonna be a big hitter. What's it
gonna be is he gets into his later thirties, Right,
they're still gonna be a thing. So when that happened,
it's more Okay, you wanted to get him, but it's
not like losing out on him means awe, we're completely
screwed now. It's you also don't have to worry about
(19:49):
paying one guy seven hundred million, and if I'm the Yankees,
just per se, you know what I do want to
get even Okay, Pete Lowns and Anthony Santander, these guys
are Yankees because it's gonna cost you half that money
to get both these guys to come in and want
to play first base, one to play outfield.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
You're making up for Juan Soto, and you want to
stick it to the Mets. You really want to stick
it to the Mets for taking one soda from you.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Go get Peede Alonzo coming off the season that he
had that wasn't a great one, but ending better than
any season any Mets player has ever had the home
run against the Brewers to send them to the LDS.
Alonzo's a cult hero now and he's been great, and
he's a homegrown player that came up through the Mets system.
Soto's a guy you traded for. So if you really
(20:30):
want to do it, hey, and you could do worse
to going and get Pete Alonzo. You do worth than
Anthony santanderwos thirty one at forty one runs last year.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
This is what you can do now. You can go
spend money.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
That you do if you're the Red Sox do if
you're the Dodgers, you want to go get somebody else.
If you're the Blue Jays, you still have that flexibility
to go do it. It's taking It's like this. It's
like taking a big swing into that bat and you
swing and miss. What does that mean? You still got
two more strikes, So it's not doesn't mean suddenly you're
at bats over. You took a big swing and you missed.
You have two more strikes to do something with. You're
(20:59):
at bat. You didn't go get Won Soto, so you
have chances to go lot to go get other players
that are still gonna make your team good. And there's
still on The Yankees are still gonna be good. Other
teams would spend money to bring in players are still
gonna be good. You just didn't get this one guy.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well, let's just put it what it is.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I mean again, owing to the fact that we've expected
Cohen to go over the top, right, what was the
report I was gonna go fifty million more? How much
is real? How much is a magic whatever? It's great
hyper league, great hype for him, and whether that was
the actual final difference in the in the bidding war,
it doesn't matter. He's a Met and you move forward.
(21:37):
But you can't tell me throughout this entire process. The
Blue Jays, the Yankees, Dodgers insert mystery teams, XYZ weren't
already working on options two, three, four, and five at
the outfield positions. Right, Whether it's Hernandez who's now a
free agent and has changed the photo on all his
(21:58):
social media, right, he's no longer with the World Series trophy.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
So here we go.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
You get into that, whether you want to go after Bregman,
whether like all of these guys, you're trying to figure
it out. And the only two teams where there are
no such thing seemingly as opportunity costs are the Dodgers
and the Mets. Everybody else is working with some sort
of constraint, whether real or artificial, and the Yankees may
be more artificial. We don't know their books, could cook
(22:25):
the books. Who knows what's reported what's because everybody reportedly
loses money, right in all these sports, even with hundreds
of millions of dollars coming from the national TV revenue.
But all of that to say that you're going back
through and if you put everything into Soto, Okay, now,
what are you gonna run out? Five would be triple
(22:46):
A pitchers thinking he's gonna hit eight run home runs
all the time.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I mean he he's a guy who sees ghosts. No,
you got that.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
You got that running for you too, right, it's all
of that two between your pitchers and the different hitting options,
whatever you got going on in your minor leagues.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Like that guy's gone, let him aids four bats.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
They decided to give the guy seven hundred million dollars
plus for four at bats a game. I just walk
his ass every time he came up there you go,
you want to steal? Go see if you can steal
fifty bases, then you can count it as a double.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, And you like how baseball baseball's in trouble when
these are the guys making more money than anybody else.
These guys are still three hundred five hundred, seven hundred
million dollars. Baseball's in trouble. Yeah, No, they're getting more
money than anybody else is everybody's making money.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
But that's the thing. You got this top end that's
really off the charts. But then go look at what
a middle reliever makes. Yeah, go look at what a
fifth starter makes.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
It's by the time this contract end, it's gonna be
Could you believe the Metsicale only had to pay seven
hundred million dollars from mon So noa, oh, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
They never made the playoffs. One would you stop with that, Mike?
Why would they walk him if it's easier to strike
him out? Well, there is that. See I think he
he's just not making sense now. You just now you're
acting like one Soda is the greatest thing since sliced bread,
like say Ruth in his prime.

One Soda is a great player. He's a great play
thirty six and not twenty six. Okay, that's that's that's
that's an allegation by you, And you have to say allegedly,
all right, that's not.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
You just said it for I said it could be.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Why no, why does that have to be thirty six?
Why can't he be twenty eight, twenty nine, going to
be one plus thirty six? No, thirty seven in a row? Yeah,
acted me out. Suddenly that changed.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
He's great. If you got him, you'd be saying, look
at what we did, buddy. It was enough except the
Mets to pay that much. You know that. Here's what
you don't know about the working in other who it's

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Back to You, Thank You, Steve the Jason Spizer with
Mike Carmen Lot from the Tirek dot Com Studios. Hey Nelly,
Big moment that could have gone really badly. In the
only NBA game of the night tonight, Jalen Brunson had
to leave the game briefly in the fourth quarter after
taking a shot, running back up court and stepping on
(30:44):
a Raptors Fans foot.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
You see the video, he takes out, he.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Learns, goes to run up court and steps on a
Raptors fans foot, goes right into the locker room for
an X ray.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Did he call for him to be banned?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I'm saying to myself, ok, this is because we got
one Soto and everybody can have nice things. This is
this is all because the Mets got won Soto. And
now something happen with Jalen Brunson. But Brunson turns out
to be okay. He comes back. He was back in
the game celebrating Big Bodega's Big three that won the
game against the Raptors tonight. But there was there was
like five minutes where I said, this is all because
the Mets got won Soto. It's all because we got
(31:17):
one Soto.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Now, they were already up to when your guy, uh
Karl Anthony Towns hit that three point shot. So it
just solidified things and and vanquished, as Steve Desager told us,
the heroic efforts of RJ.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Barrett.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
But yeah, Brunton was jumping up and down. He was fine.
He was like a soccer player. I guess, did he
really need to go to the bathroom? And that's why
he excuse me, Oh, it really was a turn foot,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Then he went to the bathroom and came bath stepped
the fan. Let's wait for an image here before we
can say everything's okay. We gotta wait. I think I
think he's all right. I feel tell us.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
Maybe it was just the endorphins that you know, he
was allowed, you know, allowing his body to bounce up
and down as he did.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Now, speaking of letting the tape tell us. Coming up next,
Jerry Jones ways in on the Cowboys muffed block punt
at the end of regulation that cost them the game
against the Cincinnati Bengals. You know, one play doesn't define
a game.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Make sure your microphones are turned on, because I'm gonna
tell you about what happened Thanksgiving weekend back in nineteen
ninety two.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Jerry the Leon lep Players nineteen ninety three. No, this
is nineteen ninety two, when How's in a hot tub
in Vail, Colorado and just gonna get your away from
that plate. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you a story about
what I did that weekend and all of a sudden,
I'm just gonna just gonna give a tap dance and
talk about something else. No one's gonna ask about the
(32:53):
muff punting now we don't know the rules of the NFL,
all right, Oh no.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
We're gonna hear from Jerry Jones on that. Coming up next,
Jason and Mike, This is Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show is My best Friend.
Mike Harmon, Yes her live from Thetirack dot Com studios.
Gonna hear from Jerry Jones coming up in a minute,
because he wighed in on the deciding play in the
Bengals win over the Cowboys on Monday Night. Bengals face
(33:37):
with a fourth and twenty seven with just over two
minutes left to go, are punting, Cowboys are gonna get
the ball back. Cooper Rush is gonna do some things
and lead the Cowboys down for a touchdown. He's gonna say,
I'm gonna be the quarterback of the Jets next year.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
I'm gonna be the King of New York.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I love Mike Vrabel. This is gonna work like that
one Soto guy. I'm in the King of New York.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
And even to oh, even better for the Cowboys, they
blocked the punt. They blocked the punt. Everything is awesome
for Dallas. They're gonna take over at midfield. They're gonna
win this game. They're gonna stay in playoff contention. Is
gonna be great, Well except for what happened after the
Cowboys blocked the punt.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Take a listen, all right, here's the punt by Ryan Raco.
Got it is blocked.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
The Bengals are gonna have a ball. No I can't
touch it. Why don't you lock beyond the line of scrimmage?
And the Bengals are gonna have it at the forty five?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
That was it. Oh no, we suck again. Oh no,
oh no, we suck again. He doubled down on it too.
Had an opportunity to.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Come up with some other phraseology, other witnessesm, something else
to express his frustration, vexation, consternation with what he just witnessed.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Instead, we suck again. Instead, that's what he mustered. Oh no,
I had no idea sham was in the water. Boy, No,
we suck again? No is he gonna be in the
sequel again? Well, the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
They are still eligible to make the Bourbon Ball, just
so you know they can still make it. Yes, they'll
still make us. They'll get there. Uh so, Yes, that
was a horrendous play. So the Bengals get to keep
the ball, and because it goes past a lot of scrimmage,
it's a new set of downs. Even though it was
fourth and twenty seven, doesn't matter. The Bengals cheap the football.
Joe Burrow throws a touchdown past Jamar Chase. Was uncoverable tonight,
(35:30):
which is what it is every week for Jamar Chase,
and the Bengals win it twenty seven to twenty. You
knew Jerry Jones is gonna have to weigh in on this,
and I don't mean me as Jerry Jones.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
Jerry Jones, Montgomery Burns and the Simpsons Fun Fun Cast.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Tonight was the night to have the Simpsons fun case.
It really was.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I mean, you have two teams that are five and seven,
four and eight Simpsons Fun Cast.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Everybody, all right.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Perfect, look over here. This will be funny even if
the game is not. Here's your halftime speech from Moses
alec Mo. Catch your belly open.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Here's Jerry put it in some Brian here's Jerry Jones
talking about the latest Cowboys implosion and his reaction to
the muffed punt that cost the Cowboys the game.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
Really devastated by the turn of events on the block kick.
Obviously we had a pluck blockkick call made to play
and then had one and so many odds and turn
against us, and we all would say, we'll want lock
(36:33):
the kit and just take the kid and get rid
of your gold kick.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
We'll all be second to guess.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
And that when I was proud of the way the
guys hung in there all day, the quarterbacks out standing,
and I thought we did some really good things out there.
Patch Ethelo, we'll know about Overshawn DeMont.
Speaker 7 (36:48):
What do you say to a kid like Laura who's
just been activated most of the pump two minutes to go.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I know he's got to be having a tough post.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Yeah, I don't know that.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
We love to say anything to it. You just uh,
we made the mistakes out there. That mistake we made
at the end was uh really uh uh. It was
very impactful as all I can.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Say, what what what I meant to say, really, but
I didn't want to say it. Outllow was we cut
him and he doesn't even get to go back with
the players. Uh that's kind of what happens to players
like that.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
But we're it's a home game. But there's still a bus.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Uh it's a big party bus, if you know, it
makes some stops on the way, especially after a loss
like this, we go to some some great play. We
go to outback steakhouse, stop there for a little bit,
get a little bit blooming onion. Tell you nothing like
having a bloomin onion following a big Cowboys defeat.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Not many defeats.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Uh, but we stopped there for the blooming onion, and
uh then we'll move on and then uh then there's
a black Angus, we'll go there.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Uh baked potato, Uh really good.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Uh so you want to go uh steakhouse, Uh black
Angus And then maybe if the soup plantations open up again, Uh,
well we'll go there. But that's where that's where the
bus goes. He doesn't get to be on that bus
because you know, he made that bad play.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
So when when it comes up and you know.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Where you're getting soup and salad and pasta and go
back up for seconds and thirds, you can get a
little bit of ice cream to have in a little
tiny cup at the end at the sup plantations.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
He doesn't get to have any of those.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Sup plantation by the way, doesn'tants that you eat out?
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Doesn't my Jerry Jones? There?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
How how good does my Jerry Jones sound? Now that
it's like week fourteen of the NFL? Like I've been
talking a lot, all suffer, but you.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Need to pause a little bit more. Uh yeah, Like
in this particular case, the response.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
To what would you say to him?
Speaker 5 (38:40):
Was very measured that I don't know you can tell
Jerry really wanting to say something else in that moment.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I don't know who the player is, so I don't
know that I can say anything to Was it somebody
I'm paying a lot of money to, like, like more
than more than a couple hundred thousand dollars?
Speaker 6 (38:55):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
That?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Cd? Okay?
Speaker 1 (38:58):
I know that not on the punt team up, but
just making sure like they didn't run out there because
they wanted to be on there. Uh it wasn't doubt,
it wasn't okay?
Speaker 2 (39:06):
All right? Make sure it wasn't zeke? Was it okay?
All these guys got to make sure, it's not that
it wasn't Parsons because he barely played. I had as
many tellicles as he did.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
If you tell me it was the Parsons kid, I
could take it out of his next contract that he's
gonna get two quarterback hits zero tackles from Michah Parsons tonight,
zero tackles zero. Telling you, man, Micah Parsons, who leaving
the leaving the field tonight, had had it with the Cowboys.
You can tell talking after the game.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
On the injury.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
So he's reacting to plus the loss, plus hit, his play,
plus you name it.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
I'm telling you two players who have absolutely had it
with their current teams, that are superstars that are going
to be looking for new contracts, that would love to leave.
Micah Parsons, Garrett Wilson, they're broken men right now, Make
the trade happen, trade right away, trade straight up for
one another. At least if they suck, it's a different
suck for the teams. But Micah Parsons wants to get paid,
(40:06):
talented as hell, Send her to the Jets. Garret Wilson,
talented his hell, wants to get paid.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Send him up. Make the say and they just need
a variety pack. There you go up. I locked that
trade that Smith kid talked about Ben Mallers
