Let's give this part you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

tire buying should be. So before we get back into
the Thursday night, gave a little bit more on the
Deon Sanders topic we talked about a.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Few years ago.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
All Right, Sports Illustrated made Dion Sanders Sports Person of
the Year, which again it shows you that Sports Illustrated
was the bastion of journalism for so long, and now
they've fallen on such hard times. They have ai writers
and they got to resort to a hot take to
try it or click.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, writers are cheaper that that is true.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, well, and what are we constituting as journalism these days?
I guess this becomes the going yeah, but here's the thing. Now,
wait a minute, now what what what happens when the
AI they want to get paid and they get paid,
they want to get paid. Who's the leader and we
haven't been able to find him? You know what happens?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Then that's when Crypto comes back.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Crypto is not no, not completely dead, but it's almost dead.
It's almost it's just mostly dead. It's only a Fletcher.
Crypto is mostly dead. It's the point of Friday the
thirteenth where you think Jason's dead, but he's got a
little bit left at him and then he's just gonna
sit up and kind of a little bit more.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah, you think he dead.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's where where you have to step over the body
and you think he's dead because there's no other way
out other than stepping over the body. And you step
over the body and he reaches up and gets you. Oh,
but then someone comes out or something happens. This is
the point where Crypto is but an AI hold out
for more money. Well then then no, that would be
a good That would be sports Person of the Year.

(02:21):
They spend everybody else is trying to figure out how
to get a little bit extra podcasters, radio TV. If
somehow the unionization of the AH sports Writers is able
to get garnished wages and are able to consolidate and
augment and command wages and benefits and all those things.

(02:43):
Now there's the sports Person of the Year. Where do
you spend all your money online? You spend now, no,
no brick and mortar, forget, it doesn't matter, it'tter dark web.
Uh now it's And the reason and the reason it's
such a big deal is because not because I.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Don't like you know, they all such a hot take
look at this.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
But Deon Sanders being sports Person of the Year is
ridiculous because tell me, tell me how Deon Sanders changed
anything for more than a month. Right month, He changed
things in September. But since then, what have we seen? Okay,
we watched his team fall apart, They didn't win games.
You have questions over him running the program because coaches

(03:22):
got demoted, they're leaving players who were committed to the
program are decommitting. He told seventy kids to beat it
right when he walked in, going I'm gonna win and
you guys all hit the transfer portal. How is this
a sports Person of the Year. I mean, really, it's
a hot take. And that's what Sports Illustrated did and
and and look, I don't mind hot takes, but this

(03:42):
is Sports Illustrated. This is the equivalent of your grandfather
putting out TikTok videos. Hey, why is that Wrong's not
make it happy?

Speaker 3 (03:53):
No, do something else. What if it makes him happy
and make some money.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I would just say, listen here, dad, grandpa, I'll set
you up on TikTok. And all he would do is
just press record on his phone. All you do is
record and stop. It's a TikTok. But what if Grandpa
was wise enough and able on the innerwebs to get
himself on the TikTok?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Why did you have to say that way? Because I
knew you would laugh on the interwebs and on the TikTok.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
No, it's it just certain things that are This is
not who you are, right, This is Sports Illustrated built
their reputation from the nineteen fifties when from the first
column article that came out and they were everything you
would want in journalism.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
They set the standard. They would have inside information, they
would have stories that gave you information that that became
big news. This is what Sports illustrate and the swimsuit issue,
this is Sports Illustrated. And now to see them at
this point where we got Ai writers and and Deon
Sanders is the sports person?

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Really? Deon Sanders sports person? It really?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
I mean, this is what you've resorted to in a
desperate attempt to stay relevant, right, you know, they're the
seventy five year old guy driving around in a maserati.
Everybody that look, I got the maasarati and driving around
really fast.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Hey Jay, why do you not want people to have
nice things? But I'm just saying that it does you.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
This is not who you are and you've not been
able to change and adjust with the times because Sports
Illustrated has a tough time going from here's a magazine
everybody read for a while to now this is the
new life of clicking stuff online and a big part
of it is and I can't say this enough. We
say it on the show. Everything not everything lasts forever.

(05:37):
And you think certain things that have been given in
your life for even thirty forty years. Don't last forever.
Sports Illustrates. No, Sports Illustrated had its run. It was incredible, sure,
but it's done. And now instead of being able to
stay to the same journalistic standards and try to figure
out a way to stay sports illustrated in this different
kind of world, it's not. Here's where we are now
with this, and it's embarrassing and sad because of just

(06:01):
how much how great it was. And that's why I
say it's it's a sports Stonehenge, because it's so long
ago that I'm the first thing I would do. I
couldn't wait to get Sports Illustrated that week. If I
was flying somewhere, I would go and buy make sure
I had sports a little. I'm reading that first thing
on the plane. Sure everything else. I want all the
previous And you read the story in the back about
the kid that bowled a three hundred and then and

(06:23):
then he then he h he raised money. He jumped
off a cliff and landed in the big pool and
raised all And then I would read who did doctor
z E pick for.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
The Super bowlters? Where where? Where the Jets picked? In here?

Speaker 1 (06:35):
And all of these things that were just so I
can't wait to get there and now to see it.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
It's just sad, But that's just it. Right.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's a legacy brand in terms of title, but it's
not been the same magazine and certainly in a media
space that's changed so much, it doesn't hold the same weight,
the same gravitas. The history's there, but it's been it's
changed hands, right, publishing companies, this Arena group that was
the Authentic Brands Group and then they rebranded a couple

(07:04):
of years ago. They purchased it in twenty nineteen, and
now you're trying to figure out how you survive in
this new economy and new sports media space, which is
why if you look at AI and you're like, all right,
can we get a review of a cool trail through
just punching some stuff into this? Yeah, all right, go
find an avatar to work with that or some anonymous guy.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Were you on that trail? It's not even a real trail,
but it looks great, okaya?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Past well no, no, no, From Google Earth, you can verify that
it's an actual trail. Are you you build that into
the AI? But are you using Google Earth or are
using AI? Google Earth both suddenly, now we really are
in the matrix.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
It really are you? Well you said that all the time.
We're in the matrix, right, No, No, it's like, oh dude, wait, bit,
we're really in the matrix. But the Dion Sanders part
of it, Like, there's not other candidate.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Sure, look you could have gone just just for for
different things. The sports Person of the Year is either
someone who is a chief greatly in sports or someone
who has done something both in and out of sports
that is inspiring. That's what sports person of the Year is, right,
It's not somebody that captured your attention or Terrell Owens

(08:12):
would have been sports First of the Year for twenty years.
But for Dion in this particular case, right while everybody
was engaged in falling all over themselves to kiss his
ass for a month, oh, they were doing it tonight,
right because he was at the Cowboys Seahawks game, and boy,
people were tripping over their self.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
No, I'm gonna put Dion in the booth and tell
Mike McCarthy to look up once in a while, just
maybe that'll inspire him.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
We could beat the Seahawks tonight. But you see, like
even there, it was oh, look at him and chadur
and and let's do everything we can to fawn over
them and go and have the highlight packages out ready.
Make sure you show his kid too, because that's gonna
make that well.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
But you have we got a month, we got your door,
We're gonna get everybody else coming where. It wasn't just
a conversation of did they win on the field, It
was all right, are you potentially changing the paradigm of
college football? And even though they lost eight of their
nine final games, and why not Bowl eligible? The month
of September and all that it wrought and all the

(09:15):
conversations I think do have a longer lasting impact on
the game in terms of how you're trying to navigate nil,
the transfer, portal style of coach, all of those things.
And he is the figurehead for that. So with college football,
where would you rank it in terms of sports in

(09:37):
the United States? No, it's college football's big story, right,
But I mean what I'm saying, like, you know, big story.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
We've got NFL's number one, But Connor.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Stallions is a big story too. I'm not making him
sports Person of the Year. Although if Michigan wins the
National championship he started sports Person of the Year. He's
got a head start on twenty twenty four since that
title game would happen in twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
But you're talking about sports person here, I'll just give
you a couple of three.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
It doesn't have to be a good right. It's like
the time Person of the year. We're oft the time
dictating up to what I'm saying and horrible people.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
How much?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
How much is Deon Sanders? Did Deon Sanders change college football?
Did he change college football for a month? Because now
who's going to the next year right now saying, oh,
we got to do what Deon did well? But they
can say we we can take parts of what Dion did.
We have to change it because obviously there's there's some flaws.
We'll get rid of all our players, but we won't
hire him. Good, let's do it. You seventy guys are out.

(10:37):
Is Deon coming in?

Speaker 5 (10:38):
No?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Somebody else's but we want you somebody else, somebody else? Well, guys,
I don't really have something else. No, I mean, did
he change college did he chan he changed it for
a month? Because had he been able to sustain this,
I can vote for him for sporting, but it.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Still becomes a four and eight.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Here's well, someone's got to be the first one to
do somebody as we'll make Robert Solid NFL coaching a
hit for Roger Jason's mad because it's not Aaron Rodgers
sales ticket employee. You know what if he played before
the end of the year, rebot, No, no, no, I mean

(11:16):
if he comes back as the modern medical Marvel.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Oh that's not happening. Where's my super suit?

Speaker 6 (11:22):
How giddy would you be Smith if he was a
side person of the Year. Oh, he can't get I
didn't want to buck him out. The guy didn't do anything.
He can't You got a dude, Yeah, you.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Would have thousands of magazines house right now. Ham would
be kicking your it would be new wallpaper. I would
just have Aaron Rodgers. Well he's making Rogers because I
want to say, I want to say three times, maybe less.

(11:52):
In my life, the Jets have been on the cover
of Sports. One was the butt fumble in my life?
No butt fumble wasn't uh Richard in the right before
the eighty two ANFC Championship game, Todd, Richard Todd, No,
that was that's Elizabeth Taylor's third husband. This is Richard
who said Richard Todd Richard, No, but Dick Todd was
That's what that was?

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, yeah, no, he was.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
I think it was Elizabeth Taylor's third was he also
the relief picture for the Red State that was Dick
Drego Pole, Dick Pole. Sure, Dan Patrick used to leave
okay anyway? Uh, Richard Todd before the eighty two ANFC
Championship game fake Spike part No, that was not on
the cover parcels.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
In ninety nine, two thousand something.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Like that, Belichick coach for a day where they actually
put him on the cover.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
He didn't want to be on the.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Cover, and so they had to draw a picture of
him token him on the cover because they would He
wouldn't let him take a picture. He says, I don't
want to be on the cover. And I think there's
an and one other time maybe they've been got one
that had lt and Gaston on there. That doesn't count.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
He doesn't count.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
With Darrell Reves, Oh yes, when he the coming back
to that to three times. Yeah, when he came back
in the whole Broadway Durrell Broadway revis one, Where's hold one?
He's in the he's in the pose of name with
holding the helmet. One man is an island. Yeah, there
you go, there you go figure three times three times,
and now he's just an island. And then yours got
his hair's not even glorious in this one. Now that

(13:23):
Richard Todd, I mean that was not the long flowing
locks where he was looking like Roger Waters.

Speaker 7 (13:28):
Nuts.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Look it up. He does not look like Roger Waters.
Richard Todd.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Richard Todd does not look like Rickey Waters. Wow, he
looks more like John Waters with a pencil thin mustache.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
And I'm cigarette and a little bit of habitashery. Every
time one of them says cigarette on the show, it
makes me laugh. I don't know.

Mac, Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Harmon. Do you think Tysher could remix
that with Monster Mac in his spare time.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
I'm gonna go with yes.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
I would think that's probably already been done and they
sold it and has made money on it, I hope.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
So, yeah, that's kind of what he does. Oh this,
let me monetize it. You always say monetize that I do.
He takes it away and says, I'm making out myself.
That's fine. I'm no, it's okay.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Look, he's he's a friend, yeah, an esteemed colleague, and
I want to see him have great success. Now, if
he could slough off a couple of cents now and
again to the old man as as tribute, that'd be great.
Ty Shirt's gonna be the guy who walks into Alex.
How old are you now? Twenty four?

Speaker 3 (16:43):
I just turned twenty two. Right, He's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
The guy that comes in one day and just says, so, hey,
my anime idea, my AI anime, marry an anime character
or whatever, idea, just hit really big, I'm a billionaire.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Blank you blank you blank you blank you. I'm late
even that's that to be the last we see your time.
I'm so proud that you could pronounce anime well anono.
I think he just figured it out last night.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
It really went to a whole other level because he
went and saw the new Godzilla movie. Okay, did you
say enema or no? I said anime? I heard the
new Godzilla movie?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Is this Dad needs it? Jason is the best Godzilla
made in modern day?

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (17:22):
How what he's saying that? Because it's Japanese?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Like, does that go back to Matthew Broderick when she
later in Madison?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Okay, so that's going that's what I say, like, it's
going back to its roots.

Speaker 6 (17:34):
Yeah, they called it Spilbergian. This guy's it's good. That's
good for Bill Burgie, for Bill BURGI.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Are you able to steal me one of those posters
because I really like the logo because it's like it's
like Godzilla is like a uh trailing and stalking these
a ship right Like it's like a Comicakazi pilot that
that doesn't go through with his mission, and and Godzilla
is like stalking him and other people in the on
a ship like in the ocean.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Isn't that what it is? It's on that part.

Speaker 8 (18:04):
It's this guy that's supposed to be Koma Kazi world
War two. He basically gets cold feet and lands on
this little island, and in doing so, they have this
like thing within the culture there about this ancient being
called Godzilla. And so as soon as the movie starts,
you see Godzilla within five minutes.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
There's no waiting for it. No.

Speaker 8 (18:22):
And what's cool is you see him in a form
you've never seen before. But the reason why it's it's
the fact that the story takes a human element you're
not expecting.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
They become best friends. It's got Zuki in there. It's
like it's like Clifford the Big Red Dog. Oh, it's
really good. It's supposed to be good. It's probably the
best I've seen in theater. Now, I've not.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Seen the show that's now out with the Kurt Russell
and his call Monarch.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
It's not good.

Speaker 8 (18:53):
No, okay, all the American ones look like ass compared
to this one.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Wow, it's really good. Alex tell you I got to
the chase his three second reviews.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
You know what you say it like that, people like
I'm leaning in, tell me more anime, se High Clifford
or Godzilla. Clifford's only like three houses tall, I think.
But that's why I'm picturing the Godzilla moving to be
like like like the pilot teaches Godzilla how to play ball.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
And uh you know, they play.

Speaker 8 (19:24):
He throws the ball all out in the ocean. God
Zilla gets it, comes back. Well, see that's what it
was supposed to be. Is like accident, have.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Smores up and Godzilla just breathes fire out, lights up.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, okay, just pat dragon. Okay, he catches a pick
six hill Mary. Yeah, but you didn't even get excited
about my god. Screw you, Frost, but no, hang on,
this is more important. Screw you.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
How about that?

Speaker 8 (19:46):
Yeah, Jason, I'm telling you, you watch it. I have
a feeling you'll say it's the best Godzilla I said.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
I've heard it's really good. I know, but you need
to see it. Okay, Yes, I want to see it.

Speaker 6 (19:55):
So I was wanting you too, to be the first
Godzilla he ever sees.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just feel like you were. No.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
I said, I've heard it's really good, and you told
me it's really good. What did I say here it's good?
I want you to say, Alex, I'm gonna go see it.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
I haven't seen it.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
In the last eight seconds. I'm sorry you're not going
to you know it?

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Why would what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Why would I not want to see a good movie
because you want to see bad movies? What I'm talking
about I see good movies all the time. I ever
seen a good movie in your life? What movie except
for the John Wicks? I'll give you that.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
How good are all the John Wader really good? Amazing?
I can't wait to see number five. Zoe.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Zoe just had her first Love Actually screening, finally got
to see Love Actually.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
She started to hate that movie. Then she goes longer.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
And the thing is that I said to her, I said,
the gift that that that Mommy and I are going
to give you over the course of your life, no
matter how long you live everything else, you're gonna be
watching a movie randomly one day and you're gonna go
That's why Daddy says that all the time.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
That's why Daddy said that all the time.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Because now she understands why every time we pull up
someplace and one of us is driving, if one of
us like hits the you know where we pull up
short or or hits the uh, the curb, you know,
so I'll go we're here, which is you know, big line.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Nice And now she goes, oh, no, I understand why
you always say we're here. What did you think of
the movie? She loved it. Yeah, my kids hate it.
They dis Wow.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Anyway, well, look there there's there's a lot of problems.
The Bill Nye plot line is really is great, and
the Emma Thompson Alan Rickman plot line, even though it's
not uplifting, is they're both such good actors that it's
so good. No, no, no, they're like they appreciate the artistry
of it. Just the content bothers them. Wells like it's
just celebration of a lot of people doing some bats.

(21:36):
Oh yeah, right, with the exception of Bill Nye, who's
just kind of there is the comic relief Rowan Atkinson. Mister,
then that storyline is you know, but that that storyline
was a real storyline, the Alan Rickman one.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
The uh uh, the the one with.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
And I'm not, like I said, I'm not. I'm not
a big fan at all of the Laura Linning storyline
because it's just so depressed. Laura Lynn loves just so depressive.
You know, it's really hard. So that and the and
and the more time that goes on, the more I
love the Colin Firth storyline because it's just so funny,
just you know, talking to each other. But it's weird
because there's certain things that colin twenty years Colin frizz

(22:13):
any ball, any ball, just an ordinary American ball. So anyway,
she's the pretty one. Yeah, so the sexy one. We
moved on from Godzilla going to love. Actually now we're
now into Cuthbert and is is Godzilla in love?

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Actually? Well actually yes, actually, okay, very good? All right,
there'd be something at the end he comes in. Is
he accidentally in love?

Speaker 8 (22:37):
Accidentally trumpling a city?

Speaker 3 (22:40):
I didn't mean it, sorry, good. King Wensless once looked
out on the feast of Steve and now he's an
UND So the Cowboys win tonight. Another big night for Dactor.
Oh yeah, three hundred yards passing three touchdowns. He runs
for two yards, throws for a two point conversion, and

(23:02):
I'm telling you tried to throw for another one to
help his MVP gan and to support his back. Yeah. Yeah,
he also nine.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
He also ran for a touchdown that got called back
for holding penalty. But he had some kind of night.
And it's not just me telling you that Dak Prescott
is the front runner for m v P. The MVP
right now is Dak Prescott's to lose? Before I give
you more evidence on that, here's Mike McCarthy talking about
the game that Dak played and the kind of quarterback
he's been.

Speaker 9 (23:30):
Tax playing great ball. It's just it's it's fun when
you know, you know, when you're in this rhythm.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Wat wait, wait, go back, go back?

Speaker 9 (23:37):
I think he said, Zach Tax playing great Yeah, wait,
Zax's playing great Wait?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Wait, holy crap, Zax's playing great ball? Wait?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Was he?

Speaker 9 (23:46):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Was he asked about Zach Wilson anything? Zach Wilson is
still the starter for the Mets, sax.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
He said, Zach.

Speaker 9 (23:53):
Tax's playing Za Zax Zax tax tax tax tax play.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
He called bags.

Speaker 9 (24:00):
Zack, Jax's playing Zax, Jax's playing.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
It sounds just like he said, Zach doesn't help. He
ends it. He adds an ass at the end of.

Speaker 9 (24:08):
It, Za Zax's playing tax playing, tax playing.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
I mean, really, it sounds like Zach when I wake
up in the morning and the thing is and my mom,
lets have a warning. Here's a big issue is that
there's no one named Zach playing in the NFL that's
playing great quarterback right now, no one. There's no one
names as Zack, No nobody.

Speaker 9 (24:26):
Zax's playing great.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
I don't even think Zach Taylor's coaching great. I mean,
I don't know. It's been a struggle a little bit.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Sharp was running great till he was he was. Yeah,
so it's hard to find something good for. But look,
Dak Prescott, I mean, Mike McCarthy calling Zach championship quarterback.

Speaker 9 (24:46):
Zax's playing gread.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
I told you about Dax's run. The heater that he
is on right now the last six games, twenty touchdowns,
two picks, right, I mean, it's amazing and it's weird
because hey, we talked about this and now NFL on
CBS puts out a tweet about it, Okay Wonder Hi two, three, four, five, six,
seven eight. Nine times in NFL history, nine a quarterback

(25:14):
has had a six game span with twenty or more
touchdowns and two or fewer interceptions. That player has won
MVP six out of those eight times, and now Dak
is the ninth. The only guys to do it not
win MVP Russell Wilson in twenty fifteen, Drew Brees in
twenty eleven. Everybody else that's had a six game span

(25:35):
of twenty or more passing touchdowns, two or fewer interceptions
six out of eight times has gone on to win
the NFL MVP. And I get the Jalen Hurts is
a great player. And you know we talked to Jay
Glazer about this earlier in the show. And I get
the season Jalen Hurts is having. I understand all this.
Dak Prescott is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. There

(25:56):
is no bigger team in the NFL that drives more
conversation that more people put eyeballs on than the Dallas Cowboys.
I mean the Jets with Aaron Rodgs with that didn't happen.
I mean, as good a team as the Eagles are,
as good as Jalen Hurts his Super Bowl last year,
as good as Patrick Mahomes is, Travis kelcea nobody means
more than the Dallas Cowboys. And when the quarterback of

(26:17):
the Dallas Cowboys is playing at this kind of level,
I'm sorry, he overshadows everybody else. Everybody else doesn't matter.
Quarterback of the Cowboys playing like this overshadows everybody else.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
That's just reality. No, I think.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Look, and the season doesn't end today, but it'll narrow
those odds. Jalen Hurts has been the favorite, and coming
into tonight, Dak Prescott was tied for fourth with to
a tongue of Ila and they were eight to one.
And I'm sure those odds will shorten a little bit
and the beauty of it. The next couple of weeks,
both teams have some really heavyweight, powerhouse kind of games

(26:52):
that will help go a long way to deciding their
MVP fates. Right they face off against each other in
a Sunday night football battle, You've got Jalen Hurts and
the Eagles in a huge a battle this weekend with
the forty nine ers. Right, there's so much on the line. Again,
it's a regular season game. But I'll buy into what
everybody else is selling, right when we talk about bad

(27:14):
football amongst the two hundred and seventy two games on paper, Yeah,
this is one that's a great heavyweight battle.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Will it live up to the hype, we'll see.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
But for Jalen Hurts a great opportunity to say, oh, Dak,
you did that, my turn and keep rolling through.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
If they keep rolling this way and they win.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
These tough matchups that are ahead of them on their schedule,
then yeah, Dak's are gonna get some love. I think
there's as much as we love the cowboy logo on
the side of the helmet. You just cited this six
of eight mbps. When you talk about this kind of
run of a six game streak, that's fantastic. Still a
lot of football to be played for the Cowboys. Where

(27:52):
where do the Seahawks fall in terms of the ranks
of the opponents? Right, they had a winning record coming
into tonight, They had a lot of expectation and promise
that is not lived up to it, and tonight they
came out swinging Gino Smith, dk Metcalf running amuck charbone
before he got hurt. But the Seahawks the last couple

(28:13):
of weeks, there's been a lot of question marks of
whether Gino Smith should have still been in a quarterback.
So how much weight do we put to this because
the narrative for the Cowboys to this point and you
play who's on the schedule and that's all you can do.
What does everybody remember when they got smacked around earlier
this year by the forty nine ers. Hence, the term
bum slayer is still floating out on the air, maybe

(28:33):
only from my lips, that's all.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
You're the only one that says bumslayer.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
I'm trying to speaking of the only person I've ever
known that says the word bumslayer. It's a good word, though,
it is a good word. But but you should own
a patent it, okay, because you're going to a first
who said that? Do you one of those like that?
Just with the with the hashtag bumslayer and it'll have
the definition after it. Oh yeah, with with the with
the like the dots over the letter that make it
look like I'll do a thing with a random umlot. Oh,

(28:58):
people like to do random umblots.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Were all very good. Yes, yeah, no, that's good.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
But for Dak, he's got a couple of weeks here
where if he plays out and balls out to this
level in a couple of big games against expected difficult opponents,
then sure that narrative is going to grow. And after tonight, look, man,
he was fantastic. That rushing touchdown holds up. It looks

(29:22):
that much better for fantasy owners. Congratulations week thirteen. You've
got a very hefty lead if you started Dak Prescott
in your rosters this time around. But yeah, it's it's
certainly his to go take because the tongues will certainly
be wagging. We know the debate shows will be more
than likely either going after Dak again soft opponents. I'm sorry,

(29:46):
Zach Maach because that's the other part. We can't get
his name right. How's he win an MVP? Zach Zach
exit out, bout of Fresco, exit, swalling down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. We got
more in ninety secon The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon,
lifrom Thetirack dot Com Studios, Straight Ahead, the Play of
the Night, plus Tonight's TNF game Gaming, an idea for

(30:08):
a new fantasy league. And wait, do we hear what
the Seahawks had to say about the final play of
the game.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
That's next. Fox.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon.
Play in the Night coming your way in a couple
of minutes. But first, two big things coming off the TNF. Now,
the final play of the game, really the final play
that mattered. The Seahawks go for it on fourth down
from the fifty yard line.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Micah Parsons runs free. It's Gino Smith.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
As he's trying to throw the ball the DJ Dallas
out of the backfield. The ball falls incomplete. The play
never had a chance. That was the fourth down play
and DJ Dallas had no space. Yeah, well, it's not
even about Micah Parsons getting on it. Yeah, it's not
likely as he caught it. If he caught it, he
would have caught it for a five yard loss. Right,
So there was.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Nobody actually turned and could wretch the ball. But he
had it. But he had a defender right on him exactly.
It wasn't go.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
It was doing nothing even if he was able to
miraculously catch it. But what if I told you the
genius of the Seahawks wait was that the final play
was designed to leave Parsons unblocked.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
It's a bold strategy.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Cot.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Now this is a real quote, Gino Smith says, quote
Micah came free. We knew that would possibly happen. Tried
to get the ball around him and just wasn't able to.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
So hang on, hang on.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
So the the overwhelming favorite for defensive Player of the year,
We're gonna leave him unblocked on the final player of
the game. Now I get the philosophy of we leave
h unblocked because the play is supposed to be a
quick play where sure he comes free, we get to
dj it. But clearly a the Cowboys knew the play
and b wow, Micah Parsons.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Is even faster than we thought. Did he think he
was minute bold? A quarterback? He was gonna like throw
it over the top. He's Wendy.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
You talk about a headline when you see it and go, oh,
that really doesn't look good.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Gino Smith.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Final play was designed to leave Micah Parsons unblocked. I
mean that's like leaving me unblocked with a chocolate cake
in front of me.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Bad idea. Maybe he's not gonna get there. No, I'm
gonna get that. I'm gonna get that.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
He may not get there fast, but he's getting there
and now he's motivated.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
I want that on. I'll get that on.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
So that was Seahawks football. Now with all the penalties tonight. Yeah,
and these are for TONSI two hundred and seventy yards
of penalty in the game to every play there was
a flag. What if I'm just saying, try to turn
a negative into a positive. Sure, everybody's looking for a
new fantasy league to be in new ways to do
fantasy football. Guillotine league. Yeah, how about fantasy football? And

(32:46):
you draft referees and officials and you get fantasy points
when they throw the flags.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
So we're drafting one for each.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
You would draft like Cleete Blakeman, who clearly would be
like maybe the number one overall pick whenever he throws
a flag. Whoever, So we're not going by crew, we're
going individual in their response to you know what, depending
how easy it would be to track. But I want
to go into No, it's easy to track for gambling.
There are a couple of sites that you can subscribe
to that will give you every bit you need to

(33:14):
know about officials and their tendencies. You you get the point.
You get one point for every yard the penalty is
called for. So if a guy throws a flag, it's
a ten yard holding penalty, you get ten points. Now,
the MVP of the league is the guy that throws
the most exactly ball p I s and now yeah, exactly.
And if you want to make it a better league, hey,

(33:34):
I want to. I want to reward the officials because
if the if the pedal he gets declined, it doesn't
count right because it's not.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Walked off on the pill.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
But if you want to reward the guy for throwing
the flag, you do like a PPR league where it's
one point for throwing the flag and then you get
the points for the for the penalty. Now, if the
penalty gets declined, you still get the one point for
the guy throwing the fo Okay, you get bonus points
for like person the personal conduct kind of penalties. Uh,
that would be an ejection? Is that a bonus for

(34:01):
an ejection? You know, no, No, that would be in
the fully customizable leagues. You would get on other on
the sites. Heyly thing, but you got words you you
you draft a team of officials, maybe you draft one
at every position. I like this yet right, and you
get by and that way. You get so excited when
a flag is thrown.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
Oh my guy, throw the flag.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Ah crap, I didn't see that. Well, I mean legitimately,
Now we can find out how many people really paid.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
To watch the officials.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Hey man, I'm gonna trade you for Sean Hockey. I'll
give you nobody paid to come see you get off
the field stuff calling battles you sure, I.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Came to watch the official day.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
They signed up for one hundred and twenty five bucks
a league to play the officials.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Fantasy game. It's a Bills game and I got Sean Hockey.
I should win by a thousand today. Wait, think about that.
You get so excited when you see a flag being thrown.
Oh there's laundry, there's laundry out the field.

Speaker 7 (35:02):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
When you're turning on all the games, your friends says,

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Oh? I have a demarcado or oh I have Cooper Cup,
Who do you have? I got the back judge and
I got the line judge. This is a very big
game for me. I got a lot of guys in this.

not not only are you doing Red Zone channel? No, no, no,
it's the official channel. Oh no, let's go out to Baltimore.
