Speaker 1 (00:30):
Welcome inside final hour tonight, the Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I want to have a gun blow hot dogs into
the stands.

(01:01):
the NBA we talk the crazy WNBA. Another sex toy
being thrown on the court tonight. We'll have more basketball
coming up later on this hour, but today, really, I mean,
you know, you know now for real football season is here.
There's no Hey, we're gonna eat no and the calendar
flips to August and football is here. We had the
(01:23):
the Hall of Fame game last night that they had
what seven million view house starved as everybody for football
every year, seven million people watching. Again the Trey Lance played,
So I mean, this is how starved we are.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I just did talk about him as a future superstar
for somebody.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I just like the uniforms I had the charge of
uniforms look great, the Lions. I get to see Dan
Campbell looking all buff odd It's great.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And then must Burner on the call.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
All of that, of course, of course, and then today
the best defensive player in the NFL says I want out.
Micah Parsons says he no longer wants to be a
Dallas cowboy. This is a story that has been kind
of percolating for the last few months, and now it's hit.
(02:11):
It's Nadeer today, and I'll tell you what the biggest
thing is about this and why absolutely one hundred percent,
not only should Micah Parsons get traded, he will get
traded after what he said, but you go back and
so much has been made today of the story, who's
at fault between Parsons and the Cowboys. Right where did
this relationship break down? Parsons said, Hey, you know, we
(02:32):
tried to talk to the Cowboys about a contract and
they kept blowing us off, right, me and my agent.
They wouldn't talk to us. They felt we already had
a deal a few months ago. Why did they say that, Well,
because Parsons went in and talked to the Cowboys without
his agent, and the Cowboys thought they had a deal done.
And then Parsons told his agent, Okay, go ahead, call
in and finish it up. And the Cowboys said, what
(02:54):
do you mean, we're fitted We finished the negotiation. We
did it with him. And so since then, the Cowboys
I've not wanted to enter into any sort of conversations
with Parsons or his agent because they felt they had
their negotiation done already a few months ago when Parsons
went in. Now, is this Michah Parsons telling you? It's
the evil, big bad Dallas Cowboys. Are the Cowboys telling you?
(03:17):
Or the cowboys are gonna say, we thought we had
a deal. And then potentially he didn't like the fact
that other defensive players got paid more money than we
were gonna give him. So now he wants money that
TJ Watt got, right, I want money that you know,
we've had three big defensive players get signed for big
money over the course of the past couple of months.
Now TJ Watt shouldn't have gotten it, but he did.
I mean, Miles Garrett got four years and won sixty.
(03:39):
Max Crosby got three and one oh six. TJ Watt
got three and one twenty. Okay, so it's a big
he said, they said. And the thing is is that
it's really irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You can blame Michah Parsons because the first thing I
would say is never go in and negotiate money without
your agent.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Never do it. That's why you have an agent. That's
just stupid.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You go have any kind of conversation you want with
your bosses, and look, I subscribe to that. Everybody that
has an age subscribe, have any kind of conference, have
a great relationship with your bosses. You want that, your managers,
your head coaches, your front office members.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You want that.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
When it comes time to the money, you got to
leave it to your agent. Right, That's what happened. So
that's on him. Now the Cowboys did they screw this up. Yeah,
because they're gonna wind up having to trade the best
defensive player in the NFL, because when you talk about
his talent level and his age, there's nobody else anybody
would want in the league. You could say, if you
could have your pick of any play in the NFL,
people every thirty two out of well maybe thirty one
(04:35):
now because it's the Cowboys, thirty one out of thirty two.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Would say, give me Micah Parsons. This is the guy
I want.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Fifteen sacks a year, defensive end. Go, this is the
guy I want. So yeah, there's a lot of blame
to go around, and clearly the Cowboys wanted to make
it adversarial because even when negotiations were at their worst,
Jerry Jones never said anything publicly that was any sort
of shade thrown at Dak pres Scott or CD Lamb
(05:01):
or Ezekiel Elliott. Nobody ever said that. No, he's never
said anything bad about those guys in public, never did.
But yet at the start of camp he said, hey,
Micah was hurt six games last year. I remember when
we signed a guy highest paid in his position a
year ago in Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
He got hurt.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So a lot of things you can think about when
you're thinking about committing and guaranteeing money.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That never happened when CD wanted to get paid or
Zeke wanted to get paid, or DAK wanted to get paid,
But it happened here. So yes, But what I'm telling
you is it doesn't matter. You can blame both sides.
It's not all the evil Cowboys's not all Michah Parson's fault.
But the bottom line is this. He should get traded,
and he will get traded because he crossed the rubicon.
(05:44):
He said something that any star player knows they have
to do if they want to get traded. You have
to say I want out. Look, we've talked about this
in the NBA a lot. Why did Kevin Durant get traded?
Why does James Harden get traded?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Why? Guy?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
When they say I want out, I no longer want
to be here. If you say, hey, I want my
agent to look at some situations, guess what, You're not
getting traded. That's what Yannis did. He's not getting traded right,
It's not happening. You have to be the bad guy
and say I want out, and Micah parsons what he
said today quote Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here.
(06:19):
I no longer want to be held the closed door
negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots
taken at me for getting injured while laying it on
the line for the organization are fans of my teammates.
I no longer want narratives created and spread to the
media about me. This is I don't want to be here.
He said those words. I no longer want to be here.
There's no coming back from that. There's no Hey, I
(06:41):
had a bad day. So you know, this is months
of negotiations and whoever you want to blame, he's had
it and he's decided I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Going to go scorched earth.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm gonna guarantee myself getting traded because I'm gonna say
I don't want to be here. And now, how do
you come back from that? I mean, how embarrassing is
it to say, oh, yeah, you know, hey, I just
you know, eh, my temper got the best of me
on for I shouldn't have said what I did.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
No, this is a big, long ass post.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
He thanked Dallas for everything they've done for him.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
He thanked them.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
He didn't just obliquely reference, Hey, if this is the end,
thanks so much. I hope to be there in front
of you. He said, thank you, Dallas. Like he's done.
He has gone past that line, and now he's going
to get traded because there's no coming back from it
for him or for the Cowboys, but specifically for Parsons
because he decided I'm okay being the bad guy and
(07:33):
saying I can't be here anymore. I no longer want
to be here. Now it's just a matter of who
comes up with the best package because Michael Parsons is
getting traded.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Yeah, it's gonna be fun to watch the next iteration
of this. I think you know some of it if
you go through his long missive he talked about it.
The conversation with Jerry Jones was Hey, I wanted it done,
so yeah, I knew I was gonna leave money on
the table, even though my agent was counching Lee differently.
And I think that's where we start getting into the
(08:02):
next phase of all right, the agent's on the outside,
and you know, Jerry's always talked about wanting to, you know.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Have that personal relationship.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
We know that, But it's that curiosity of you know
that gap, right, and then we tried to come back.
It's like, well, what's that gap in time and and
what was the substance of the conversation you had? Is
there anything written down or is it all just a
conversation between two guys over you know, some hot wings
and whatever was on TV in the background. You know,
(08:32):
Jerry's gonna have his story, Mike is gonna have his,
and eventually the agent gets involved because you eventually do
have to sign a deal with all of the caveats,
all the preemptors and all all theo all that stuff
of cross and t's and dot and eyes. And when
they tried to get to that point, that's where we
(08:52):
the tail takes a decided turn and gets us to
the missive that he put out and where we're at now.
And you know, if you're the cowboys, part of it is, well,
you've got a deal. Michael went after im Maliava when
he was gonna hold out for more nil money. So
people are throwing that back up, So we'll see he'll
(09:13):
be on a podcast to respond to that. Oh, I'm sure,
because that's some of the other narrative too. Right, is
this is a guy who has not been shy about
going calling teammates and their failures, shall we say, on
the field to task in the past. Now, I know
a bunch of folks took to Instagram and you know, hey,
that's my guy and whatever else. But you can't tell
(09:34):
me there wasn't a little bit of bristling behind the
scene there. He didn't always play nice sandbox with his
teammates as much as he can point at Jerry And again,
I'm not trying to assign blame, but we're trying to
tell the entire tale of how we get to this point.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Still has a one year deal.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
With the Cowboys. Okay, you can play that out. I
understand you want to get paid. Why because you've been
hurt and you've seen everybody else get paid. You want
you want your chanceance to to get your big signing
day and major dollars. Remembering all the while that Dallas
still has that thing that the union negotiated that he
(10:10):
can get franchise back to back years if they really
wanted to play hardball and create chaos. I don't know
that it gets to that point, but it's it's fun theater.
And now we've hit that that final stage. What's the
final act? How does it end here in the third act?
I like your trade scenarios. I'm curious what compensation would be.
(10:33):
We we went off on the litany of things that
between the Raiders and Bears years ago, and it's two here,
one there, a couple more late round picks and everything else.
It's you know how desperate already to bring him in
that that becomes the question to all of this or
do you think he's a distressed property. I don't think
(10:53):
Jerry's gonna blink.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, No, listen, there's there's no distress property going on
like this is. You're talking about a guy on the
right side a twenty five, you know, who's this talented? Well, well,
it's a good comp with the Khalil Mack, right, it's
a really good comp because yeah, yeah, but it's a
really good comp But quite honestly, I'll tell you this,
(11:16):
I mean, it would never happen. It would never happen.
But just think about this for a second, right, who
are the two players, two star players the last few
days that say I want out, I want to trade
Michaeh Parsons, Micah Parsons for Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Boom boom.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It'll never happen because obviously in the same division, and
it would probably be McLaurin and a draft pick of
some some draft compensation some point. But just think about it, though,
Just think about how much if they weren't in the
same division, how this would make sense. The guys would
get traded and Michaeh Parsons would. You could potentially, if
you're the Cowboys or the Commander, say yeah, we'll talk
(11:52):
contract after this year. Because if they have a big year,
you sign them for a big money, everything is great.
If not, you walk away and you use that money
to go get somebody else rights. It works, It works
for you, right because if if Micah Parsons comes in
and plays great, all right, great, hey, the Commanders would
sign him to a big count. If not, they let
him go and they get a full year of superstar
(12:14):
play out of a star player that they wouldn't get
because mclaurin's unhappy and Parsons is unhappy. You put Parsons
on the Commanders. This is the weak link of that team,
is their defensive line.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
They signed a bunch of guys in the offseason, trying
to remake it. But you put the best defensive player
in the NFL on that defensive like, good luck stopping them. Right,
Suddenly the Commanders would be Super Bowl favorites. And then
you look at the Cowboys. I don't know that there
would be a better quarterback wide receiver combo in the
game than the Cowboys with Dak and CD Lamb and
(12:44):
McLaurin and and you want to throw in George Pickens,
who would have to be happy being a third receiver,
but Way and Ferguson who had a big year two
years ago when Dak was healthy. Like, suddenly, the Cowboys
offense it would be almost unstoppable. And maybe they're not
going to win as many, but they'd.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Be a lot more fun. And hey, it could could
win ten to eleven.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Get Dak could throw forty five touchdowns Like that would
work for each of these two teams like this, again,
it would never happen, right, never happened, but that would work,
and it would be fun.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
No, it's great chaos theory. But then you'd have Jerry
coming over the top before it could get done. You know,
Steven working on this, He goes, hey, hey, we just
played paid the Ferguson kid thirteen million a year.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
We can't do that. He's got to get the ball.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I see, now you get a rain on my parade
with that novit.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
But I I get that. That's the other You paid
him thirteen million dollars a year. Micah Barson, you're doing
that thing where you're you're you're holding up your arms going, hey,
what about me? I mean you might be singing the
whole thing. This isn't fair, No, I.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Mean it really? Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Are they are? They comparable talents? So Michaeh Parsons is
a much better player at what he does than Terry McLaurin.
But McLaurin wants thirty million a year and guess what
Michael Parsons wants over thirty million a years. So okay,
the money that they want is very similar. And again
the fact that you could walk away from either of
them at the end of next year and say, okay,
(14:10):
we'll take this money and reinvest it someplace else, that's fine, right,
Like in no league is walking away from a talented
player much more smiled upon in the NFL. Hey, okay,
this guy's talented, but man, we got some holes to
fill and we only have a certain amount of money
to do it. So yeah, we're not gonna pay him
forty five million. We're gonna pay these three guys fifteen
million a piece, and then we're gonna be even better.
So like, it all works from that perspective. And yeah,
(14:33):
you'd need some draft compensation to go back along with McLaurin, because, boy,
the best defensive player in the NFL isn't worth a
really good receiver because that's what McLaurin is. Yes, he
had the thirteen touchdowns last year, but generally he's a
guy as a number one who catches eighty passes. Okay,
that's great. You have one thousand yards. Okay, that's that's nice.
That's nice. It's not superstar. It's not Garrett Wilson because
(14:54):
the guy's gonna be thirty. So I'm not gonna pay
a guy who's suddenly having his best year of twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Hey, now I gotta get paid.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Oh, I'm sorry. You went through the whole run with
the Commanders when our quarterbacks were terrible. I think he
actually caught passes from Heath Schuler at one point.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Wow. But I mean, I can't pay you for that.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I can't pay for what you want, and he did
make seventy million in the last three years, so it's okay.
You know, if you're the Cowboys and you trade Micah Parsons,
what are you gonna get. You're gonna get draft picks, right,
and so what does that mean? Well, next year is great,
but you're basically throwing this year out the window because
nothing is coming to help you. Same thing for the
for the Commanders. If you trade Terry McLaurin or he
(15:30):
holds out and you move on, you're not getting anything
to help you this year, and you want something to
help you this year because you're thinking it's.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
A Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You want to give away any years with Jayden Daniels
until you have to. You know, any year that he's
on his rookie contract, you don't want to give that away.
So yeah, you're not getting any better player than you
would making this trade. Again, it's never gonna happen because
they're in the same division. But this would certainly solve
both teams issues. If it was if somehow if the
Commander's played in the AFC East, or if the Cowboys
(15:59):
played in the AFC, whatever it was like, you could
conceivably see this being something that satisfies both parties. And
you got two teams getting out from under a bad
headline and getting star players who want to be there,
who know they have to have a big year if
they want to get paid. Like it works.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Again, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah, but it works.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
I like the theater of it all right, because normally
Jerry drags his feet and you know, if you go
back and read it's a very long missive by Micah
Parsons and all of this, Oh yeah, hey we talked,
and then eventually like there's some gap like of you
know between Hey, we had these conversations. I know I'm
gonna leave money on the table. Other guys are gonna
get their deals, but want to get it done to
(16:40):
when he circles back with the agent, you did more
hyping him up as the best defensive player in football
than his agents seem to have done there.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
And I want to know.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I mean, look, it makes it sound like he was
lured to some secluded place by Jerry Jones and his agent.
It's like, you know you're gonna meet, Like he didn't
tell his agent, Hey, I'm gonna go meet with Jerry,
what did you guys talk about?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Look, I want you to meet me down by the
lake after lunch, just you and we're gonna get on
my boat and out in the middle of the lake
and have a conversation.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
That's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
But this guy's one of the top agents in football, right,
It's like he had no knowledge.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Hey, Micah, well had that thing go with? Jerry had nothing.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
According to Jerry, you had a deal pretty much hammered out,
and then it was just you know, printing it out
on a nice form, compliant with league mandates to get signed, sealed, delivered, notarized,
like a little you know, notary Public was waiting there
with his stamp. At least that's their side of it,
Whereas it sounds like Micah went back to his agent
(17:49):
I was.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Like, no, I don't know, it's a normal Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
While he was playing a video game, I was like, somewhere,
there's that's a giant gap.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Exit up out of fresh to exit swalling down the
Jason Smith Show with my best right, Mike Harbon. We
got more football on the way, but coming up next
to baseball games tonight. You gotta hear about them to
believe them, and yes, one of them involves the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
We never have enough time to get to everything we

Speaker 7 (18:36):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
Over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, you blobber lit lame and me.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.

Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports of but we're also gonna talk life

on our after show called over promised.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored by

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Uh I see your Yankees Marlins game
and raise you a Pirates Rockies game. An incredible, bizarre
(19:51):
night in Major League Baseball tonight. You thought you saw
the game of the year with the Marlins walk off
win against the Yankee thirteen twelve, and then about forty
five minutes later, No, no, no, the Rockies and the
Pirates top it with a seventeen to sixteen game. Let's
go in the order in which we saw these things tonight.
(20:14):
The Yankees get This is one of those games. I
always say this, By and large, big losses during a
baseball season you turn the page the next day. Very
few of them, maybe three a year, and wins the
same way aren't one in one sixty two. They are
games in which you say, wow, this really put us
(20:35):
on the skids for two weeks or whatever it is,
and I wouldn't be surprised. Look, the Yankees have been
in a free fall for the past five weeks. They've
gone from five and a half games up to five
and a half games out of first place. They make
all their trades at the deadline, and here they are
losing a game that is just It's worse than a
gut punch. It's a game where I know if I
(20:56):
was younger and I would be as a Yankee fan,
I know I'd be up until in the morning just
throwing a ball against the wall, going how the hell
did that happen? Because there's no good that came out
of this game. Lef tonight, they were up nine to
four over the Marlins. Okay, it's done right, it's over.
The Yankees are feeling good. All their trade deadline acquisitions
wind up playing in this game, which maybe they shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeah, and they.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Blow the nine to four lead by allowing six runs
in the bottom of the seventh to the Marlins. Right,
this is an awful, awful night for them, but they
come back and take the lead. They get a run
in the eighth on a Volte home run. They get
two in the ninth, Volpi hits a double, overcoming the
debuts of Bird and Bednar, two of their big trade
(21:43):
deadline acquisitions, who give up four and two runs. You know,
part of this sixth part of the sixth, big sixth inning, right,
So hey, two of the big bullpen guys we brought in,
really give up the lead. But okay, we get up
twelve to ten. Everything is fine, Right, We've got to
close things out in the night. What are we gonna do.
We're gonna bring in Dovall. He's the guy. He's the
(22:03):
he's the setup guy.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Hey, we tell everybody that Devin Williams is still the closer.
But really, hey, first time we get a chance to
win the game, we bring in Dovaal. Everything's gonna be great, right,
he's the fireballer. We're so excited. We're bringing in our
third trade deadline acquisition out of the bullpen and a
couple of guys get onto the ninth inning, and then Cabiero,
(22:25):
who remember very tearily change sides in the middle of
the game. But it's been the Rays and the Yankees
a couple of days ago. He's in right field and
a single that could have been held down instead turns
into an incredibly damaging play.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Take a listen, ground ball.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
They sit to right field, La round Star, He'll score
and the ball.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Gets pass cover VARs. He gets up, He's gonna score,
going to third, ers edwards.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So the game is trying a game twelve. Michael, you
get to a point where you just can't make this up.
I mean, the ball gets by, I mean, the base.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Hits, the runners are running it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
It's like a litle league game going on out here.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yank you see me on the call, Michael, Kay, Yeah, Look,
Cabiio comes in, pinch runs, goes into right field, and
a base hit to right field just goes under his
glove instead of potentially one run scoring because but the
ball got out there pretty fast. Maybe they would have
held the runner at third when bases loaded. Still with
a two run lead in one out, Yankees can get
(23:37):
out of it. But instead it goes all the way
to the wall. Two runs score to tie the game,
and you wind up with a runner at third. Okay, now, Okay,
things can't get any worse than that. Ken They Well,
let's just say the winning run crossed the plate, and
I don't know that the ball got more.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Than seven feet away from home plate.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Premirez a little triple right in front of the play tex.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
A well picks it up.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
It's corkrom there.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
He's the craziest game of the year.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
It's a swimmy punts from the former Yankee prospects.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Hargustine rivers to lock it.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Up even as comes in from third.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
This game is over and this team is electric. Marlin's
raining up network.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
I was waiting for him the yell he lit the
lamp because you hear that buzzing in the background here.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Uh, this ball is just topped in front of the plate.
It never makes it off the dirt, and it kind
of spins a little bit, and Austin Wells goes out
there to get it, and he's got no chance to
get Edwards, who's really fast. He slides in head first.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
It's it's not.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Even really close at home plate and the Yankees lose
thirteen to twelve. This is a game where Yankees. Yankee
fans have to sit back after this game and go
is this really gonna turn around for us? Or is
this just not our year? I'd like, there's certain things
that are just signs that tell me, you know, this
really might not be our year.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
It really.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I had to check in on my dad after the game. Hey,
do something good. Checking on the Yankee's good on you.
They're not doing well right now, you know, dude, do
a good deed for the weekend. You know, pay it forward,
check in on your Yankee fan friends. I checked in
on my dad. He's still let over the game from Wednesday.
He told me, So I got time for this, and
I'm like, all right, because that's my.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Dad raised though, right, I mean, yeah, you're checking on
your dad the party. You were like, I can't wait
to see.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
How are you really?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
When he comes over tomorrow, I'm gonna I'm just gonna
hit the final call from this game.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
So he hears it when he walks in the door.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
All of a sudden, he opens the door and it
just gets triggered.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
But this is just absolutely awful on so many levels
for the Yankees. You had all three of your big
trade deadline acquisitions come in out of the bullpen and
pitch two and the third inning and give up seven runs. Okay,
seven runs on nine hits and you lose this game.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I mean, I mean it.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
This is one of those Okay, we're just done. Like
I wouldn't be surprised at the end of the year
Yankees wind up falling out, We point back and go
this was the game that ended their season. Certain games
are more mean more than others. They're not all one
on one sixty two.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Yeah, this would be an interesting way to go. I
think for your dad and for others, maybe a little
bit of a flashback to the World Series, thinking that
you'd gotten rid of some of those evils, right, because
what did we talk about a lot on air during
that series was the fundamentals base running, fielding, gaffs, just
down distance, game scenarios and how you play it out.
(26:46):
And here's another situation of it doesn't mean he's throwing
anybody out, but you don't even get a throw, right,
there's nothing better than I don't know about you, but
when we're watching a game, either here in the studio
or when you go live, that anticipation of all right,
the guy's gonna come up throwing. Don't know what we're getting,
but we're gonna get a play. I don't care if
(27:07):
it's up the line, behind the catcher, whatever. In this case,
we don't even get a throw. So it's it's embarrassing
on that whole other level as it rolls harmlessly well
for the Marlins under his glove in right field. And
you're like, I thought that was last year. I thought
we got rid of that. We just bought in A
bunch of guys. Was on the back page of the
(27:28):
New York Post telling us how great this was. Look
at all these guys are showing up. This is fantastic.
Heel's coming back. He's gonna pitch this week. It doesn't matter,
doesn't matter. First game coming into the second half post
to the trade deadline, fun and this is what you get.
This is what you get coming out of the trade deadline.
(27:50):
A disastrous, I mean highly entertaining, but disastrous thirteen twelve loss.
And this is a game where you got your two
young guys that you're like, yeah, they're finally gonna get it,
and Dominguez and Volpi they dominated.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
At the plate.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Matter he had a four hit game, It doesn't matter, doesn't.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Matter, like it wasn't his fielding gaff because imagine that
was the case, given how many people have taken their
shots saying, hey, we should have traded for one of
the fielders that does backflips during the Savannah Banana games
for Volpi at the trained deadline. I mean, we've seen
a lot of stuff, but he has a big game tonight.
Domingus has three hits at the at the front of
(28:27):
the lineup, and instead all your acquisitions melt down on
the pressure cooker that is wearing the pinstripes for a day.
Do you have to go take those uniforms out and
burn them. Hey, I only wore them once, doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah, no, get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Got to exercise those demons.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Cabriero unzips his head and it turns out to be
Aaron Judge Hi tried to come.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Back soon too soon.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Wow, Now that really had the title of Game of
the Year for about forty five minutes, because then Pittsburgh
blew a nine nothing lead early in Denver. I told
you Aaron Rodgers was overrated. He could sixteen on the
board for Pittsburgh in this game. He was done. Look,
(29:13):
Denver does just enough. Sean Payton out coaches Mike Tomlin.
But before the Rockies even came to bat tonight, the
Pirates were up nine to nothing, nine runs in the
top of the first inning. Now, because it's the Rockies
and the Pirates and they both stink, Okay, the Rockies
fight back, but still it's looking pretty bad because Pittsburgh
(29:33):
has a sixteen to twelve lead going to the bottom
of the ninth inning. Okay, sixteen twelve, All right, fine,
this is a big throwback game. What it was like
at Coors Field in the nineties, when five run leads
basically meant the game was tied and won. At least
one team scored double digits every game. Oh yeah, sure,
Vinnie Castilla, Larry Walker, Andres Galarraga. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
(29:53):
yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
So you think a four run lead is gonna be safe?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Well, with Pittsburgh clinging to a sixteen fifteen lead in
the bottom of the ninth inning, the Rockies found a
way to walk off with the seventeen sixteen win.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Go and pitch and hit Dick the left. Is it
enough going back?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Fam n Gone, It's gone. You gotta be kidding me.
Brendon Doyle with.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
A two run home run. The Rockies had come all
the way back to win it.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Seventeen to sixteen.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Rockies Radio Network on the call, part of.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
A four hit night for Doyle. They get five in
the bottom of the ninth to win this game, seventeen sixteen.
This game was insane. It was again, it's a throwback
because you think, you know, you go back to the
nostalgia of the nineties in baseball and what it was
like with Corsfield and every time you heard about the
(30:53):
humidors and where the balls were kept in and the
thin air and how the ball carries in different home roads,
splits like it was fun.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
It was a throwback to that.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Seventeen sixteen, the Rockies win, and I'll tell you the
guy really don't want to be Mike Harmon tonight is
I don't want to be the guy in the Pirates.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Runt officer's job it.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Is to convince Paul Skins to stay. I don't want
to be that guy because it's not a great conversation.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
That's a tough one right now.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I don't want to because you know there's a guy
they have that Hey, your job is to make sure
Paul Skins is happy and he re signed with us.
When it's time. You keep him happy, you keep living
done happy, you make sure he resigned. I don't want
to be that guy tonight because I don't know what
to say.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
I don't know how do you keep spinning the lack
of run support?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
How do you spend me all those is living likes Pittsburgh, right,
I mean we can take her to some miles on.
I mean we got lifetime sandwiches. Would she like to
take over mister Rogers' neighborhood?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
But you talk about no run support tonight. They got
nine in the first and they could, but they never
deal with Paul Skins on the Mountain. I got nine
in the last, like twelve games he started. Boy, there
were forty hits in this game tonight. Forty man, I'll
tell you.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
See now, I'm Ske's game dog.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I don't want to be Yankee fans. I don't we
want to be any Yankee new additions. I don't want
to be that guy convincing Skeens to stay. And I
don't want to be any Rocky fan that left in
the first inning, because that's embarrassing. I let nine to
nothing going home camp gets down. I'm not gonna say
for this game. Oh Wow, what happened? Well, you know,
I know, I felt bad about the game. So we
we went to go see Fantastic four.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I just turned my time.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I just turned my pone on. Rockies won seventeen sixteen.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Dad, we left the game in the first inning.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I know, I know, but you had popcorn. We watched
a movie. Dad, you took me away from this game.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Now I'm looking at his Uh, they've got like three
games in in Skien's last ten starts where they've scored
any level of runs. The last two games actually a
composite it nine to nothing Arizona and Detroit in those games. Fine,
so now he's up to six and eight on the year.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
You have to go.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
There's a game on the nineteenth of June where they
scored eight runs. Otherwise you're looking at zero two two
two one. I'm like, I'm writing code now zero one
not a lot of runs support. So when they beat
(33:27):
up on Arizona six nothing, it's like, can you save
some of those? Can I hold some of those over
to my next brilliant start? He's got a one eight
three ERA and he's six and.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Eight exit out about a Fresco exit.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Swollen Dove Jason Smith, Mike Harmon time not to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports from
the guy who's been called the Paul Skeins of Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Radio because he's got a mustag.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
It's Steve de Sager, I thought her, because I get
absolutely no support around here.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Wowort.
Speaker 9 (33:53):
By the way, Colorado's record is now twenty nine and
eighty ladies and gentlemen, after this seventeen sixteen win against
Pittsburgh and the rocky starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela did not
make it out of that first inning where they were
down nine to nothing. He's four and fourteen this year
with an era now over seven grand. Slamming a three
run homer in the first nine nothing lead for the
(34:15):
Pirates and they still don't win the game. Brenton Doyle
game winning two run homer. The Padres won their six
in a row four to one over the Cardinals, who
had only four hits and three costly airs. Winning pitcher
Nick Paveta of the Pods eleven and three went seven innings.
The White Sox were six three winners at the Angels.
Seattle took the late game on a two run homer
Bottom of the night, four to three over Texas. The
(34:36):
A's got four in the first and one five to
one over Arizona, which has lost six in a row.
The A's have won seven of eight. The Dodgers got
a five nothing win at Tampa Bay, winning pitcher Clayton
Kershaw five and two after six scoreless innings and no walks.
The Dodgers are first in the n West, still three
games up on the Padres. That lead was nine games
about a month ago. Cleveland in ten innings beat Minnesota.
(34:58):
Boston in ten innings beat Houston for the stro shortstop
Jeremy Painia was activated, had three hits, but did not
play the tenth inning hamstring cramp third base. The starter
was Carlos Correa for Houston. He went oh for four. Yes.
Miami thirteen twelve over the Yankees with three runs bottom
of the ninth. The Yankees today release pitcher Marcus Stroman,
(35:19):
who still owed eighteen million dollars. Kansas City won at
Toronto nine to three, beating Kevin Gosman. Michael Walker, the
winning pitcher for the Royals. Eight innings, one run allowed.
The Royals hit four home runs, so the Blue Jays,
who lost this one, still three and a half over
the Yanks in the AL East, but just four back
are the Boston Red Sox. San Francisco defeated the Mets
(35:40):
in ten innings in New York, four to three. The
Mets were first in the NL Ease. Now they're a
half game behind the Phillies, who won five to four
over Detroit with two runs bottom of the ninth, the
save to the new closer, Joe on Duran, who had
just four pitches needed for his three outs. Kyle Schwarber
picked up RBI number eighty seven. Milwaukee and the Cubs
each one. Cub still a game back of the first
(36:02):
place Brewers in the NL Central Milwaukee won it's game

win for the Rockies and Pirates, Big Stuff.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Man, Big Day, Big Friday, No news jump here.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
And because it's Positivity Friday, Mike, I want to leave
you with this. Earlier today, Caleb Williams was on ESPN
Radio one thousand in Chicago. Now, he's had an up
and down camp, but this is a guy that's under
more pressure than basically any other quarterback in the NFL
(38:26):
this year. Right, And if you hear him tell it,
Tysher have that sound ready? Do you hear him tell
it on the radio today?
Speaker 8 (38:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know pressure. Yeah, I don't know
what you're talking about because I don't feel pressure.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Let's take a listen, Jason wish One the the Caleb Williams.
Speaker 8 (38:45):
Pressure is in a pressure is not a thing for me.
I don't, you know, think of life that way in
the situation that I'm in. And so, you know, we
keep chugging along, and you know there's gonna be ups
and downs, and it's not you know, it's not my
job to care about with outside you know, noises and
things like that. My jobs take care of everything in
here and go out there and play, you know, And
(39:05):
I didn't, you know, I I know we didn't win
as many you know games as we wanted to last year,
but you know I didn't. Uh, I didn't go twenty
and twenty in interceptions and things like that. So you know,
take it for what you want. But you know, pressure
is uh previlege. Pressure is a privilege. But you know,
in the situation that I'm at, I don't think I
(39:26):
have pressure.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Yeah, no, he's lying. There's a tremendous amount of pressure.
Now how much he feels it is different, But there
is a tremendous amount of pressure. But I got good
news for you, buddy. I told you I believe in him.
I believe he's that talented. He is in a much
better position to succeed this year. Than he was last year.
When last year like they gave him a lot of weapons,
but you had a bad head coach. Romo Dunes wasn't
(39:49):
what they thought he was going to be. Keenan Allen
looked old right away. Cole Comet underrated but still wasn't
one of the top tight ends in the game. And
the offensive line was terrible. Seven weeks. I think he
got sacked seventy eight times. Yeah, now, what have you
done this year? You brought in a quarterback friendly head coach.
It's gonna do everything he can that knows his success
is tied to yours. He is in a better position
(40:12):
to succeed year two for a Doons. Say, okay, that's
great Colton Loveland. I love the kid. He is a
tremendous talent. He was great last year and Michigan had
nobody playing quarterback. Best part, you got two new starters,
probably three new starters on the offensive line. You brought
in two. You brought in Dolman. It's gonna be better
for him this year. The offensive line is better. This
(40:33):
should be a four thousand yard, thirty touchdown year for
Caleb Williams. If he doesn't get it, I'd be surprised.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
From your lips to the ears of the football gods,
eight and a half is still the over under on wins. Look,
he's just gotta be smarter and more efficient with the football.
This thing that's driving Ben Johnson nuts in training camp,
the inconsistency there. How many of those sixty eight sacks
were on him but four to five the offensive line.
Great expectations, I mean, you said it was the era
(41:02):
of great feelings. I know the expectations are certainly there.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
It is, man, I'm telling I'd be stunned if he's
not really really good this year for Mike im Jason,
the Playing show. Coming up next, This is Fox Yankees

the NBA we talk the crazy WNBA. Another sex toy
being thrown on the court tonight. We'll have more basketball
coming up later on this hour, but today, really, I mean,
you know, you know now for real football season is here.
There's no Hey, we're gonna eat no and the calendar
flips to August and football is here. We had the
(01:23):
the Hall of Fame game last night that they had
what seven million view house starved as everybody for football
every year, seven million people watching. Again the Trey Lance played,
So I mean, this is how starved we are.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I just did talk about him as a future superstar
for somebody.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I just like the uniforms I had the charge of
uniforms look great, the Lions. I get to see Dan
Campbell looking all buff odd It's great.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And then must Burner on the call.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
All of that, of course, of course, and then today
the best defensive player in the NFL says I want out.
Micah Parsons says he no longer wants to be a
Dallas cowboy. This is a story that has been kind
of percolating for the last few months, and now it's hit.
(02:11):
It's Nadeer today, and I'll tell you what the biggest
thing is about this and why absolutely one hundred percent,
not only should Micah Parsons get traded, he will get
traded after what he said, but you go back and
so much has been made today of the story, who's
at fault between Parsons and the Cowboys. Right where did
this relationship break down? Parsons said, Hey, you know, we
(02:32):
tried to talk to the Cowboys about a contract and
they kept blowing us off, right, me and my agent.
They wouldn't talk to us. They felt we already had
a deal a few months ago. Why did they say that, Well,
because Parsons went in and talked to the Cowboys without
his agent, and the Cowboys thought they had a deal done.
And then Parsons told his agent, Okay, go ahead, call
in and finish it up. And the Cowboys said, what
(02:54):
do you mean, we're fitted We finished the negotiation. We
did it with him. And so since then, the Cowboys
I've not wanted to enter into any sort of conversations
with Parsons or his agent because they felt they had
their negotiation done already a few months ago when Parsons
went in. Now, is this Michah Parsons telling you? It's
the evil, big bad Dallas Cowboys. Are the Cowboys telling you?
(03:17):
Or the cowboys are gonna say, we thought we had
a deal. And then potentially he didn't like the fact
that other defensive players got paid more money than we
were gonna give him. So now he wants money that
TJ Watt got, right, I want money that you know,
we've had three big defensive players get signed for big
money over the course of the past couple of months.
Now TJ Watt shouldn't have gotten it, but he did.
I mean, Miles Garrett got four years and won sixty.
(03:39):
Max Crosby got three and one oh six. TJ Watt
got three and one twenty. Okay, so it's a big
he said, they said. And the thing is is that
it's really irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You can blame Michah Parsons because the first thing I
would say is never go in and negotiate money without
your agent.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Never do it. That's why you have an agent. That's
just stupid.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You go have any kind of conversation you want with
your bosses, and look, I subscribe to that. Everybody that
has an age subscribe, have any kind of conference, have
a great relationship with your bosses. You want that, your managers,
your head coaches, your front office members.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You want that.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
When it comes time to the money, you got to
leave it to your agent. Right, That's what happened. So
that's on him. Now the Cowboys did they screw this up. Yeah,
because they're gonna wind up having to trade the best
defensive player in the NFL, because when you talk about
his talent level and his age, there's nobody else anybody
would want in the league. You could say, if you
could have your pick of any play in the NFL,
people every thirty two out of well maybe thirty one
(04:35):
now because it's the Cowboys, thirty one out of thirty two.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Would say, give me Micah Parsons. This is the guy
I want.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Fifteen sacks a year, defensive end. Go, this is the
guy I want. So yeah, there's a lot of blame
to go around, and clearly the Cowboys wanted to make
it adversarial because even when negotiations were at their worst,
Jerry Jones never said anything publicly that was any sort
of shade thrown at Dak pres Scott or CD Lamb
(05:01):
or Ezekiel Elliott. Nobody ever said that. No, he's never
said anything bad about those guys in public, never did.
But yet at the start of camp he said, hey,
Micah was hurt six games last year. I remember when
we signed a guy highest paid in his position a
year ago in Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
He got hurt.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So a lot of things you can think about when
you're thinking about committing and guaranteeing money.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That never happened when CD wanted to get paid or
Zeke wanted to get paid, or DAK wanted to get paid,
But it happened here. So yes, But what I'm telling
you is it doesn't matter. You can blame both sides.
It's not all the evil Cowboys's not all Michah Parson's fault.
But the bottom line is this. He should get traded,
and he will get traded because he crossed the rubicon.
(05:44):
He said something that any star player knows they have
to do if they want to get traded. You have
to say I want out. Look, we've talked about this
in the NBA a lot. Why did Kevin Durant get traded?
Why does James Harden get traded?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Why? Guy?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
When they say I want out, I no longer want
to be here. If you say, hey, I want my
agent to look at some situations, guess what, You're not
getting traded. That's what Yannis did. He's not getting traded right,
It's not happening. You have to be the bad guy
and say I want out, and Micah parsons what he
said today quote Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here.
(06:19):
I no longer want to be held the closed door
negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots
taken at me for getting injured while laying it on
the line for the organization are fans of my teammates.
I no longer want narratives created and spread to the
media about me. This is I don't want to be here.
He said those words. I no longer want to be here.
There's no coming back from that. There's no Hey, I
(06:41):
had a bad day. So you know, this is months
of negotiations and whoever you want to blame, he's had
it and he's decided I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Going to go scorched earth.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm gonna guarantee myself getting traded because I'm gonna say
I don't want to be here. And now, how do
you come back from that? I mean, how embarrassing is
it to say, oh, yeah, you know, hey, I just
you know, eh, my temper got the best of me
on for I shouldn't have said what I did.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
No, this is a big, long ass post.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
He thanked Dallas for everything they've done for him.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
He thanked them.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
He didn't just obliquely reference, Hey, if this is the end,
thanks so much. I hope to be there in front
of you. He said, thank you, Dallas. Like he's done.
He has gone past that line, and now he's going
to get traded because there's no coming back from it
for him or for the Cowboys, but specifically for Parsons
because he decided I'm okay being the bad guy and
(07:33):
saying I can't be here anymore. I no longer want
to be here. Now it's just a matter of who
comes up with the best package because Michael Parsons is
getting traded.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Yeah, it's gonna be fun to watch the next iteration
of this. I think you know some of it if
you go through his long missive he talked about it.
The conversation with Jerry Jones was Hey, I wanted it done,
so yeah, I knew I was gonna leave money on
the table, even though my agent was counching Lee differently.
And I think that's where we start getting into the
(08:02):
next phase of all right, the agent's on the outside,
and you know, Jerry's always talked about wanting to, you know.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Have that personal relationship.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
We know that, But it's that curiosity of you know
that gap, right, and then we tried to come back.
It's like, well, what's that gap in time and and
what was the substance of the conversation you had? Is
there anything written down or is it all just a
conversation between two guys over you know, some hot wings
and whatever was on TV in the background. You know,
(08:32):
Jerry's gonna have his story, Mike is gonna have his,
and eventually the agent gets involved because you eventually do
have to sign a deal with all of the caveats,
all the preemptors and all all theo all that stuff
of cross and t's and dot and eyes. And when
they tried to get to that point, that's where we
(08:52):
the tail takes a decided turn and gets us to
the missive that he put out and where we're at now.
And you know, if you're the cowboys, part of it is, well,
you've got a deal. Michael went after im Maliava when
he was gonna hold out for more nil money. So
people are throwing that back up, So we'll see he'll
(09:13):
be on a podcast to respond to that. Oh, I'm sure,
because that's some of the other narrative too. Right, is
this is a guy who has not been shy about
going calling teammates and their failures, shall we say, on
the field to task in the past. Now, I know
a bunch of folks took to Instagram and you know, hey,
that's my guy and whatever else. But you can't tell
(09:34):
me there wasn't a little bit of bristling behind the
scene there. He didn't always play nice sandbox with his
teammates as much as he can point at Jerry And again,
I'm not trying to assign blame, but we're trying to
tell the entire tale of how we get to this point.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Still has a one year deal.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
With the Cowboys. Okay, you can play that out. I
understand you want to get paid. Why because you've been
hurt and you've seen everybody else get paid. You want
you want your chanceance to to get your big signing
day and major dollars. Remembering all the while that Dallas
still has that thing that the union negotiated that he
(10:10):
can get franchise back to back years if they really
wanted to play hardball and create chaos. I don't know
that it gets to that point, but it's it's fun theater.
And now we've hit that that final stage. What's the
final act? How does it end here in the third act?
I like your trade scenarios. I'm curious what compensation would be.
(10:33):
We we went off on the litany of things that
between the Raiders and Bears years ago, and it's two here,
one there, a couple more late round picks and everything else.
It's you know how desperate already to bring him in
that that becomes the question to all of this or
do you think he's a distressed property. I don't think
(10:53):
Jerry's gonna blink.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, No, listen, there's there's no distress property going on
like this is. You're talking about a guy on the
right side a twenty five, you know, who's this talented? Well, well,
it's a good comp with the Khalil Mack, right, it's
a really good comp because yeah, yeah, but it's a
really good comp But quite honestly, I'll tell you this,
(11:16):
I mean, it would never happen. It would never happen.
But just think about this for a second, right, who
are the two players, two star players the last few
days that say I want out, I want to trade
Michaeh Parsons, Micah Parsons for Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Boom boom.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It'll never happen because obviously in the same division, and
it would probably be McLaurin and a draft pick of
some some draft compensation some point. But just think about it, though,
Just think about how much if they weren't in the
same division, how this would make sense. The guys would
get traded and Michaeh Parsons would. You could potentially, if
you're the Cowboys or the Commander, say yeah, we'll talk
(11:52):
contract after this year. Because if they have a big year,
you sign them for a big money, everything is great.
If not, you walk away and you use that money
to go get somebody else rights. It works, It works
for you, right because if if Micah Parsons comes in
and plays great, all right, great, hey, the Commanders would
sign him to a big count. If not, they let
him go and they get a full year of superstar
(12:14):
play out of a star player that they wouldn't get
because mclaurin's unhappy and Parsons is unhappy. You put Parsons
on the Commanders. This is the weak link of that team,
is their defensive line.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
They signed a bunch of guys in the offseason, trying
to remake it. But you put the best defensive player
in the NFL on that defensive like, good luck stopping them. Right,
Suddenly the Commanders would be Super Bowl favorites. And then
you look at the Cowboys. I don't know that there
would be a better quarterback wide receiver combo in the
game than the Cowboys with Dak and CD Lamb and
(12:44):
McLaurin and and you want to throw in George Pickens,
who would have to be happy being a third receiver,
but Way and Ferguson who had a big year two
years ago when Dak was healthy. Like, suddenly, the Cowboys
offense it would be almost unstoppable. And maybe they're not
going to win as many, but they'd.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Be a lot more fun. And hey, it could could
win ten to eleven.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Get Dak could throw forty five touchdowns Like that would
work for each of these two teams like this, again,
it would never happen, right, never happened, but that would work,
and it would be fun.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
No, it's great chaos theory. But then you'd have Jerry
coming over the top before it could get done. You know,
Steven working on this, He goes, hey, hey, we just
played paid the Ferguson kid thirteen million a year.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
We can't do that. He's got to get the ball.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I see, now you get a rain on my parade
with that novit.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
But I I get that. That's the other You paid
him thirteen million dollars a year. Micah Barson, you're doing
that thing where you're you're you're holding up your arms going, hey,
what about me? I mean you might be singing the
whole thing. This isn't fair, No, I.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Mean it really? Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Are they are? They comparable talents? So Michaeh Parsons is
a much better player at what he does than Terry McLaurin.
But McLaurin wants thirty million a year and guess what
Michael Parsons wants over thirty million a years. So okay,
the money that they want is very similar. And again
the fact that you could walk away from either of
them at the end of next year and say, okay,
(14:10):
we'll take this money and reinvest it someplace else, that's fine, right,
Like in no league is walking away from a talented
player much more smiled upon in the NFL. Hey, okay,
this guy's talented, but man, we got some holes to
fill and we only have a certain amount of money
to do it. So yeah, we're not gonna pay him
forty five million. We're gonna pay these three guys fifteen
million a piece, and then we're gonna be even better.
So like, it all works from that perspective. And yeah,
(14:33):
you'd need some draft compensation to go back along with McLaurin, because, boy,
the best defensive player in the NFL isn't worth a
really good receiver because that's what McLaurin is. Yes, he
had the thirteen touchdowns last year, but generally he's a
guy as a number one who catches eighty passes. Okay,
that's great. You have one thousand yards. Okay, that's that's nice.
That's nice. It's not superstar. It's not Garrett Wilson because
(14:54):
the guy's gonna be thirty. So I'm not gonna pay
a guy who's suddenly having his best year of twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Hey, now I gotta get paid.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Oh, I'm sorry. You went through the whole run with
the Commanders when our quarterbacks were terrible. I think he
actually caught passes from Heath Schuler at one point.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Wow. But I mean, I can't pay you for that.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I can't pay for what you want, and he did
make seventy million in the last three years, so it's okay.
You know, if you're the Cowboys and you trade Micah Parsons,
what are you gonna get. You're gonna get draft picks, right,
and so what does that mean? Well, next year is great,
but you're basically throwing this year out the window because
nothing is coming to help you. Same thing for the
for the Commanders. If you trade Terry McLaurin or he
(15:30):
holds out and you move on, you're not getting anything
to help you this year, and you want something to
help you this year because you're thinking it's.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
A Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You want to give away any years with Jayden Daniels
until you have to. You know, any year that he's
on his rookie contract, you don't want to give that away.
So yeah, you're not getting any better player than you
would making this trade. Again, it's never gonna happen because
they're in the same division. But this would certainly solve
both teams issues. If it was if somehow if the
Commander's played in the AFC East, or if the Cowboys
(15:59):
played in the AFC, whatever it was like, you could
conceivably see this being something that satisfies both parties. And
you got two teams getting out from under a bad
headline and getting star players who want to be there,
who know they have to have a big year if
they want to get paid. Like it works.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Again, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah, but it works.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
I like the theater of it all right, because normally
Jerry drags his feet and you know, if you go
back and read it's a very long missive by Micah
Parsons and all of this, Oh yeah, hey we talked,
and then eventually like there's some gap like of you
know between Hey, we had these conversations. I know I'm
gonna leave money on the table. Other guys are gonna
get their deals, but want to get it done to
(16:40):
when he circles back with the agent, you did more
hyping him up as the best defensive player in football
than his agents seem to have done there.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
And I want to know.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I mean, look, it makes it sound like he was
lured to some secluded place by Jerry Jones and his agent.
It's like, you know you're gonna meet, Like he didn't
tell his agent, Hey, I'm gonna go meet with Jerry,
what did you guys talk about?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Look, I want you to meet me down by the
lake after lunch, just you and we're gonna get on
my boat and out in the middle of the lake
and have a conversation.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
That's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
But this guy's one of the top agents in football, right,
It's like he had no knowledge.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Hey, Micah, well had that thing go with? Jerry had nothing.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
According to Jerry, you had a deal pretty much hammered out,
and then it was just you know, printing it out
on a nice form, compliant with league mandates to get signed, sealed, delivered, notarized,
like a little you know, notary Public was waiting there
with his stamp. At least that's their side of it,
Whereas it sounds like Micah went back to his agent
(17:49):
I was.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Like, no, I don't know, it's a normal Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
While he was playing a video game, I was like, somewhere,
there's that's a giant gap.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Exit up out of fresh to exit swalling down the
Jason Smith Show with my best right, Mike Harbon. We
got more football on the way, but coming up next
to baseball games tonight. You gotta hear about them to
believe them, and yes, one of them involves the Yankees.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
We never have enough time to get to everything we

Speaker 7 (18:36):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
Over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, you blobber lit lame and me.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Uh I see your Yankees Marlins game
and raise you a Pirates Rockies game. An incredible, bizarre
(19:51):
night in Major League Baseball tonight. You thought you saw
the game of the year with the Marlins walk off
win against the Yankee thirteen twelve, and then about forty
five minutes later, No, no, no, the Rockies and the
Pirates top it with a seventeen to sixteen game. Let's
go in the order in which we saw these things tonight.
(20:14):
The Yankees get This is one of those games. I
always say this, By and large, big losses during a
baseball season you turn the page the next day. Very
few of them, maybe three a year, and wins the
same way aren't one in one sixty two. They are
games in which you say, wow, this really put us
(20:35):
on the skids for two weeks or whatever it is,
and I wouldn't be surprised. Look, the Yankees have been
in a free fall for the past five weeks. They've
gone from five and a half games up to five
and a half games out of first place. They make
all their trades at the deadline, and here they are
losing a game that is just It's worse than a
gut punch. It's a game where I know if I
(20:56):
was younger and I would be as a Yankee fan,
I know I'd be up until in the morning just
throwing a ball against the wall, going how the hell
did that happen? Because there's no good that came out
of this game. Lef tonight, they were up nine to
four over the Marlins. Okay, it's done right, it's over.
The Yankees are feeling good. All their trade deadline acquisitions
wind up playing in this game, which maybe they shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeah, and they.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Blow the nine to four lead by allowing six runs
in the bottom of the seventh to the Marlins. Right,
this is an awful, awful night for them, but they
come back and take the lead. They get a run
in the eighth on a Volte home run. They get
two in the ninth, Volpi hits a double, overcoming the
debuts of Bird and Bednar, two of their big trade
(21:43):
deadline acquisitions, who give up four and two runs. You know,
part of this sixth part of the sixth, big sixth inning, right,
So hey, two of the big bullpen guys we brought in,
really give up the lead. But okay, we get up
twelve to ten. Everything is fine, Right, We've got to
close things out in the night. What are we gonna do.
We're gonna bring in Dovall. He's the guy. He's the
(22:03):
he's the setup guy.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Hey, we tell everybody that Devin Williams is still the closer.
But really, hey, first time we get a chance to
win the game, we bring in Dovaal. Everything's gonna be great, right,
he's the fireballer. We're so excited. We're bringing in our
third trade deadline acquisition out of the bullpen and a
couple of guys get onto the ninth inning, and then Cabiero,
(22:25):
who remember very tearily change sides in the middle of
the game. But it's been the Rays and the Yankees
a couple of days ago. He's in right field and
a single that could have been held down instead turns
into an incredibly damaging play.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Take a listen, ground ball.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
They sit to right field, La round Star, He'll score
and the ball.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Gets pass cover VARs. He gets up, He's gonna score,
going to third, ers edwards.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So the game is trying a game twelve. Michael, you
get to a point where you just can't make this up.
I mean, the ball gets by, I mean, the base.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Hits, the runners are running it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
It's like a litle league game going on out here.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yank you see me on the call, Michael, Kay, Yeah, Look,
Cabiio comes in, pinch runs, goes into right field, and
a base hit to right field just goes under his
glove instead of potentially one run scoring because but the
ball got out there pretty fast. Maybe they would have
held the runner at third when bases loaded. Still with
a two run lead in one out, Yankees can get
(23:37):
out of it. But instead it goes all the way
to the wall. Two runs score to tie the game,
and you wind up with a runner at third. Okay, now, Okay,
things can't get any worse than that. Ken They Well,
let's just say the winning run crossed the plate, and
I don't know that the ball got more.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Than seven feet away from home plate.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Premirez a little triple right in front of the play tex.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
A well picks it up.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
It's corkrom there.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
He's the craziest game of the year.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
It's a swimmy punts from the former Yankee prospects.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Hargustine rivers to lock it.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Up even as comes in from third.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
This game is over and this team is electric. Marlin's
raining up network.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
I was waiting for him the yell he lit the
lamp because you hear that buzzing in the background here.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Uh, this ball is just topped in front of the plate.
It never makes it off the dirt, and it kind
of spins a little bit, and Austin Wells goes out
there to get it, and he's got no chance to
get Edwards, who's really fast. He slides in head first.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
It's it's not.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Even really close at home plate and the Yankees lose
thirteen to twelve. This is a game where Yankees. Yankee
fans have to sit back after this game and go
is this really gonna turn around for us? Or is
this just not our year? I'd like, there's certain things
that are just signs that tell me, you know, this
really might not be our year.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
It really.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I had to check in on my dad after the game. Hey,
do something good. Checking on the Yankee's good on you.
They're not doing well right now, you know, dude, do
a good deed for the weekend. You know, pay it forward,
check in on your Yankee fan friends. I checked in
on my dad. He's still let over the game from Wednesday.
He told me, So I got time for this, and
I'm like, all right, because that's my.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Dad raised though, right, I mean, yeah, you're checking on
your dad the party. You were like, I can't wait
to see.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
How are you really?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
When he comes over tomorrow, I'm gonna I'm just gonna
hit the final call from this game.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
So he hears it when he walks in the door.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
All of a sudden, he opens the door and it
just gets triggered.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
But this is just absolutely awful on so many levels
for the Yankees. You had all three of your big
trade deadline acquisitions come in out of the bullpen and
pitch two and the third inning and give up seven runs. Okay,
seven runs on nine hits and you lose this game.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I mean, I mean it.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
This is one of those Okay, we're just done. Like
I wouldn't be surprised at the end of the year
Yankees wind up falling out, We point back and go
this was the game that ended their season. Certain games
are more mean more than others. They're not all one
on one sixty two.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Yeah, this would be an interesting way to go. I
think for your dad and for others, maybe a little
bit of a flashback to the World Series, thinking that
you'd gotten rid of some of those evils, right, because
what did we talk about a lot on air during
that series was the fundamentals base running, fielding, gaffs, just
down distance, game scenarios and how you play it out.
(26:46):
And here's another situation of it doesn't mean he's throwing
anybody out, but you don't even get a throw, right,
there's nothing better than I don't know about you, but
when we're watching a game, either here in the studio
or when you go live, that anticipation of all right,
the guy's gonna come up throwing. Don't know what we're getting,
but we're gonna get a play. I don't care if
(27:07):
it's up the line, behind the catcher, whatever. In this case,
we don't even get a throw. So it's it's embarrassing
on that whole other level as it rolls harmlessly well
for the Marlins under his glove in right field. And
you're like, I thought that was last year. I thought
we got rid of that. We just bought in A
bunch of guys. Was on the back page of the
(27:28):
New York Post telling us how great this was. Look
at all these guys are showing up. This is fantastic.
Heel's coming back. He's gonna pitch this week. It doesn't matter,
doesn't matter. First game coming into the second half post
to the trade deadline, fun and this is what you get.
This is what you get coming out of the trade deadline.
(27:50):
A disastrous, I mean highly entertaining, but disastrous thirteen twelve loss.
And this is a game where you got your two
young guys that you're like, yeah, they're finally gonna get it,
and Dominguez and Volpi they dominated.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
At the plate.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Matter he had a four hit game, It doesn't matter, doesn't.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Matter, like it wasn't his fielding gaff because imagine that
was the case, given how many people have taken their
shots saying, hey, we should have traded for one of
the fielders that does backflips during the Savannah Banana games
for Volpi at the trained deadline. I mean, we've seen
a lot of stuff, but he has a big game tonight.
Domingus has three hits at the at the front of
(28:27):
the lineup, and instead all your acquisitions melt down on
the pressure cooker that is wearing the pinstripes for a day.
Do you have to go take those uniforms out and
burn them. Hey, I only wore them once, doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah, no, get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Got to exercise those demons.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Cabriero unzips his head and it turns out to be
Aaron Judge Hi tried to come.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Back soon too soon.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Wow, Now that really had the title of Game of
the Year for about forty five minutes, because then Pittsburgh
blew a nine nothing lead early in Denver. I told
you Aaron Rodgers was overrated. He could sixteen on the
board for Pittsburgh in this game. He was done. Look,
(29:13):
Denver does just enough. Sean Payton out coaches Mike Tomlin.
But before the Rockies even came to bat tonight, the
Pirates were up nine to nothing, nine runs in the
top of the first inning. Now, because it's the Rockies
and the Pirates and they both stink, Okay, the Rockies
fight back, but still it's looking pretty bad because Pittsburgh
(29:33):
has a sixteen to twelve lead going to the bottom
of the ninth inning. Okay, sixteen twelve, All right, fine,
this is a big throwback game. What it was like
at Coors Field in the nineties, when five run leads
basically meant the game was tied and won. At least
one team scored double digits every game. Oh yeah, sure,
Vinnie Castilla, Larry Walker, Andres Galarraga. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
(29:53):
yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
So you think a four run lead is gonna be safe?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Well, with Pittsburgh clinging to a sixteen fifteen lead in
the bottom of the ninth inning, the Rockies found a
way to walk off with the seventeen sixteen win.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Go and pitch and hit Dick the left. Is it
enough going back?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Fam n Gone, It's gone. You gotta be kidding me.
Brendon Doyle with.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
A two run home run. The Rockies had come all
the way back to win it.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Seventeen to sixteen.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Rockies Radio Network on the call, part of.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
A four hit night for Doyle. They get five in
the bottom of the ninth to win this game, seventeen sixteen.
This game was insane. It was again, it's a throwback
because you think, you know, you go back to the
nostalgia of the nineties in baseball and what it was
like with Corsfield and every time you heard about the
(30:53):
humidors and where the balls were kept in and the
thin air and how the ball carries in different home roads,
splits like it was fun.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
It was a throwback to that.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Seventeen sixteen, the Rockies win, and I'll tell you the
guy really don't want to be Mike Harmon tonight is
I don't want to be the guy in the Pirates.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Runt officer's job it.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Is to convince Paul Skins to stay. I don't want
to be that guy because it's not a great conversation.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
That's a tough one right now.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I don't want to because you know there's a guy
they have that Hey, your job is to make sure
Paul Skins is happy and he re signed with us.
When it's time. You keep him happy, you keep living
done happy, you make sure he resigned. I don't want
to be that guy tonight because I don't know what
to say.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
I don't know how do you keep spinning the lack
of run support?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
How do you spend me all those is living likes Pittsburgh, right,
I mean we can take her to some miles on.
I mean we got lifetime sandwiches. Would she like to
take over mister Rogers' neighborhood?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
But you talk about no run support tonight. They got
nine in the first and they could, but they never
deal with Paul Skins on the Mountain. I got nine
in the last, like twelve games he started. Boy, there
were forty hits in this game tonight. Forty man, I'll
tell you.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
See now, I'm Ske's game dog.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I don't want to be Yankee fans. I don't we
want to be any Yankee new additions. I don't want
to be that guy convincing Skeens to stay. And I
don't want to be any Rocky fan that left in
the first inning, because that's embarrassing. I let nine to
nothing going home camp gets down. I'm not gonna say
for this game. Oh Wow, what happened? Well, you know,
I know, I felt bad about the game. So we
we went to go see Fantastic four.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I just turned my time.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I just turned my pone on. Rockies won seventeen sixteen.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Dad, we left the game in the first inning.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I know, I know, but you had popcorn. We watched
a movie. Dad, you took me away from this game.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Now I'm looking at his Uh, they've got like three
games in in Skien's last ten starts where they've scored
any level of runs. The last two games actually a
composite it nine to nothing Arizona and Detroit in those games. Fine,
so now he's up to six and eight on the year.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
You have to go.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
There's a game on the nineteenth of June where they
scored eight runs. Otherwise you're looking at zero two two
two one. I'm like, I'm writing code now zero one
not a lot of runs support. So when they beat
(33:27):
up on Arizona six nothing, it's like, can you save
some of those? Can I hold some of those over
to my next brilliant start? He's got a one eight
three ERA and he's six and.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Eight exit out about a Fresco exit.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Swollen Dove Jason Smith, Mike Harmon time not to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports from
the guy who's been called the Paul Skeins of Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Radio because he's got a mustag.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
It's Steve de Sager, I thought her, because I get
absolutely no support around here.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Wowort.
Speaker 9 (33:53):
By the way, Colorado's record is now twenty nine and
eighty ladies and gentlemen, after this seventeen sixteen win against
Pittsburgh and the rocky starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela did not
make it out of that first inning where they were
down nine to nothing. He's four and fourteen this year
with an era now over seven grand. Slamming a three
run homer in the first nine nothing lead for the
(34:15):
Pirates and they still don't win the game. Brenton Doyle
game winning two run homer. The Padres won their six
in a row four to one over the Cardinals, who
had only four hits and three costly airs. Winning pitcher
Nick Paveta of the Pods eleven and three went seven innings.
The White Sox were six three winners at the Angels.
Seattle took the late game on a two run homer
Bottom of the night, four to three over Texas. The
(34:36):
A's got four in the first and one five to
one over Arizona, which has lost six in a row.
The A's have won seven of eight. The Dodgers got
a five nothing win at Tampa Bay, winning pitcher Clayton
Kershaw five and two after six scoreless innings and no walks.
The Dodgers are first in the n West, still three
games up on the Padres. That lead was nine games
about a month ago. Cleveland in ten innings beat Minnesota.
(34:58):
Boston in ten innings beat Houston for the stro shortstop
Jeremy Painia was activated, had three hits, but did not
play the tenth inning hamstring cramp third base. The starter
was Carlos Correa for Houston. He went oh for four. Yes.
Miami thirteen twelve over the Yankees with three runs bottom
of the ninth. The Yankees today release pitcher Marcus Stroman,
(35:19):
who still owed eighteen million dollars. Kansas City won at
Toronto nine to three, beating Kevin Gosman. Michael Walker, the
winning pitcher for the Royals. Eight innings, one run allowed.
The Royals hit four home runs, so the Blue Jays,
who lost this one, still three and a half over
the Yanks in the AL East, but just four back
are the Boston Red Sox. San Francisco defeated the Mets
(35:40):
in ten innings in New York, four to three. The
Mets were first in the NL Ease. Now they're a
half game behind the Phillies, who won five to four
over Detroit with two runs bottom of the ninth, the
save to the new closer, Joe on Duran, who had
just four pitches needed for his three outs. Kyle Schwarber

Speaker 1 (37:24):
We finished with an NFL quarterback under the most pressure
of any quarterback this year, and he says I don't
know what you're talking about. Pressure. I don't feel any pressure.
That's next, Jason and Mike Fox.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Man, Big Day, Big Friday, No news jump here.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
And because it's Positivity Friday, Mike, I want to leave
you with this. Earlier today, Caleb Williams was on ESPN
Radio one thousand in Chicago. Now, he's had an up
and down camp, but this is a guy that's under
more pressure than basically any other quarterback in the NFL
(38:26):
this year. Right, And if you hear him tell it,
Tysher have that sound ready? Do you hear him tell
it on the radio today?
Speaker 8 (38:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know pressure. Yeah, I don't know
what you're talking about because I don't feel pressure.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Let's take a listen, Jason wish One the the Caleb Williams.
Speaker 8 (38:45):
Pressure is in a pressure is not a thing for me.
I don't, you know, think of life that way in
the situation that I'm in. And so, you know, we
keep chugging along, and you know there's gonna be ups
and downs, and it's not you know, it's not my
job to care about with outside you know, noises and
things like that. My jobs take care of everything in
here and go out there and play, you know, And
(39:05):
I didn't, you know, I I know we didn't win
as many you know games as we wanted to last year,
but you know I didn't. Uh, I didn't go twenty
and twenty in interceptions and things like that. So you know,
take it for what you want. But you know, pressure
is uh previlege. Pressure is a privilege. But you know,
in the situation that I'm at, I don't think I
(39:26):
have pressure.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Yeah, no, he's lying. There's a tremendous amount of pressure.
Now how much he feels it is different, But there
is a tremendous amount of pressure. But I got good
news for you, buddy. I told you I believe in him.
I believe he's that talented. He is in a much
better position to succeed this year. Than he was last year.
When last year like they gave him a lot of weapons,
but you had a bad head coach. Romo Dunes wasn't
(39:49):
what they thought he was going to be. Keenan Allen
looked old right away. Cole Comet underrated but still wasn't
one of the top tight ends in the game. And
the offensive line was terrible. Seven weeks. I think he
got sacked seventy eight times. Yeah, now, what have you
done this year? You brought in a quarterback friendly head coach.
It's gonna do everything he can that knows his success
is tied to yours. He is in a better position
(40:12):
to succeed year two for a Doons. Say, okay, that's
great Colton Loveland. I love the kid. He is a
tremendous talent. He was great last year and Michigan had
nobody playing quarterback. Best part, you got two new starters,
probably three new starters on the offensive line. You brought
in two. You brought in Dolman. It's gonna be better
for him this year. The offensive line is better. This
(40:33):
should be a four thousand yard, thirty touchdown year for
Caleb Williams. If he doesn't get it, I'd be surprised.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
From your lips to the ears of the football gods,
eight and a half is still the over under on wins. Look,
he's just gotta be smarter and more efficient with the football.
This thing that's driving Ben Johnson nuts in training camp,
the inconsistency there. How many of those sixty eight sacks
were on him but four to five the offensive line.
Great expectations, I mean, you said it was the era
(41:02):
of great feelings. I know the expectations are certainly there.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
It is, man, I'm telling I'd be stunned if he's
not really really good this year for Mike im Jason,
the Playing show. Coming up next, This is Fox Yankees
