Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Welcome inside Final hour tonight the Jason Smith Show
with my bes friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Fours are up.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm gonna hear from Lebron James coming up in about
twenty minutes. His streak of double digit games ending tonight
Street that goes all the way back to early two
thousand and seven.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
He had a good run in the lake. It is
a good run. Now.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
That's where I agree with you. It is a good run.
That is a good run because a lot of times
you say it was a good run and it's not
a good find. That was a good run.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Now you always get mad at me, like if it's
just because it has a negative end, doesn't mean it
wasn't a good run.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
But sometimes you know, a good run is more than
just like eight hours, you know, like you know you
said it was a good run, Now it wasn't a
good run. Eight hours is a pretty good run for
a lot of things, all right, For sleeping eight hours
is a good run. You had eight hour that's a
good ride, a good run. I slept for eight hours.
It's a good run, okay.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
And when you go for a good run eight less
than eight hours.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Eight hours between big big heaping slices of chocolate cake
and not not a good run. It's not a good run.
More than more than eight hours between runs for that.
But speaking of basketball, right, we'll well, it's got more
on the Lions win over the Cowboys coming up this hour.
The Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Tomorrow is
(01:15):
going to be very, very interesting because of the national
headlines that Gottlieb made tonight following their loss to Robert Morris.
The Phoenix had a ten point lead late, they blew it.
Robert Morris comes back, they hit a game winning layup,
Green Bay's potential game winning shot rims out, and Gottlieb
(01:38):
and Bob Knight now share this bit of infamy is
both guys have thrown chairs, either during or after a game.
You see a video of Gottlieb walking off the court
and he grabs a chair and throws it across one
of those black plastic chairs with this with the silver legs,
throws it across and then continued to talk about his
(02:00):
frustration with the loss after the game was over. Now
the thing is now to deal with the chair throwing thing, like,
oh boy, I'm glad that this was something that was
isolated that there was anybody around. Not that he would
do that, but you never know when when someone's standing around,
you know, you throw a chair because obviously you're in
(02:22):
kind of a blind rage and you're really mad when.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You're doing that.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
But intended consequences right to break away chair, you know,
piece comes off, whatever the case may be, happen.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But look, I.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Get that part of it, you know, I get the
frustration and coaching, I get that, you know, being the
youth coach, you know, at different levels I've had throughout
my life. Like both for soccer and soft pall we
lost big games. We lost the games games in the
state tournament, lost big tournaments in soccer whatever. It was like,
there's times I would have liked to throw a chair
(02:53):
because something happens. It's really frustrating, and you know, luckily
there were no chairs around, because here there's a lot
of chairs in the soccer field, not a lot of
chairs around in the softball money of chairs around. I'd
have to go, hey, ma'am, will you get up out
of that chair?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Why?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Because I want to throw it.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Get playing lawn darts with some of the umbrellas that
the families bring I mean, there's lots of things you
can do.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Hey, Debra, Yeah, go tell your mom to let me
have the chair she's sitting in. Why because it's really
light and I want to throw it as far as
I can. Just go ask your mom for the chair. Okay,
it's fine, I'll buy you guys ice cream up. No,
uh So, I get it.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
But the thing is, I was the thing that I did,
and it's weird. And I don't know if I got
this subtly from the show, but I remember in Dead
to Me Christina Applegate, whenever she would get frustrated, she
would go get in her car, like it was in
the garage. Like she would just go get in her
car in the garage, turn her car on, put on
some kind of crazy ass death metal slayer music, and
(03:51):
just bang her head and shake the steering wheel right like. So.
I don't know if that was in my head for it,
but what I would always do if I was frustrated
for a game something like that, I would wait the
game would end, I would get in my car, wait
before I was giving Zoe a ride home or whatever
it was, I'd get my car, turn the car, turn
the radio up, really loud. I would grab the stream
and I would yell the biggest F bomb or whatever
I wanted to yell. I would just say because I
(04:11):
was so mad. I had to get that out because
I didn't want to yell at the kids. I didn't
want to yell, but I was so mad that that.
But so that became my thing, and I always had
to make sure when I could, I turned the radio up,
because I never wanted to be the guy that got
in the car started yelling only to realize, Oh, I
forgot to roll up the back window, and now there's
people in the parking lot going, oh, coach is mad.
(04:33):
Coach is really mad? You think he's mad at our kid.
I think he's mad at the end of the game.
So I always made let me turn the music on
just to make sure it's loud. So people just hear
a Guns n' Roses song or Poison or whatever he's
listening to, and I get that big yell and I
would always feel better.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And that was a big tension breaker. I always wanted
to do that. I always help you that you actually
sing on a little Eric Carmon, I didn't make me loose,
kid job.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I would never want to sing. I only wanted I
only wanted to sing after we won. If I'm driving
down there, there's a couple of songs you put on,
like you that you know your team has songs that no, no, no,
I was always I would just yell. I would get
so mad.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
All right.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
For those that haven't seen it, though, Marsden uh and uh,
Cardlini uh and Applegate. I mean, that is a fantastic show,
So go give that a watch.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Mars been playing twins in the show.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I used to run into him over here all the
time over Blue Dog. Was he dressed like Cyclops? Did
he have the one thing? And it was him in
his fantasy league?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh okay, so because he did, because I really was.
Next time you see him, I really dug those Cyclops
shades that he had, Like, those are the sunglasses I
really want, like I would to get a pair of those.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
We'll see if we can pull that off. Yeah, we'll
write a letter to him.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I think I think you're actually final like site like
like like sunglasses Mars and wore Cyclops.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I might think we could probably find that in a
prop store auction. Actually, so I get I get it
with Gottlieb. I I understand that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Look, I've known Doug for a long time, did shows
together everything. I get the frustration. I know what he
puts into coaching. Uh you know, look getting the game
at Green Bay. Like, I know, nobody in the country
coach more games than him, because all the youth games
he would coach. And I remember one time he told
me about one kid he was coaching that he would,
you know, make a shot, would always look to him like,
you know, did I make the play? And Doug tell
(06:13):
me goes. I told him, I said, the next time
you do something and you look at me, I'm taking
you out of the game. I mean, don't look at me,
make the show, get back up, don't look about taking
you out of the game.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
You look at me, out of the game. But we
know what this means to him.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It was a long it's long been talked about in
his broadcasting career, and this was a game that would
have gotten them to five hundred. This is a game
against defending conference.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Channel Like, there's a lot going into this game and
the way they'd play tonight. Now here's where I'm wondering
if in twenty four hours Doug would think differently about
this part of it again, gaming big headlines towards one
of the top stories on ESPN dot com. Right now,
here's a little bit of Doug about the game, frustration
level after the game, blowing the league late lead late
(07:00):
and this is what he talked about with some of
the stuff he said about his team following the loss.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I'm encouraged by our effort and our defense and how
we executed and that was just embarrassing how we lost
the game. We're actually a good basketball team. I know
it's surprising to people. We're actually pretty good. But we
played like idiots at the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He went on to say, we didn't defend the three
point line. We have guys that are not listening. It
happens we lost the game.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
They had a ten second violation that he owned for that.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Now here's the thing. This is part of a very
big press conference that Doug made, and throughout it you
hear all these things that he said about his team.
This is why and this is why just you know,
because I would say this about any coach you know,
Doug or anybody else, I would say this is that,
this is why you have.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
A cooling off period after the game.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
This is why after you throw a chair, maybe someone
comes up to you and says, take a few minutes
before you go out there and talk to anybody, because
I get when you want to go out there and
send a message to your team, you want to say
something like, hey, we played like idiots at the end
of the game. Okay, fine, But throughout his entire press
conference taking shots at his team, they don't listen. We
(08:11):
have guys, we're talented, we're pretty good. We played like
idiots like this is all peppered throughout his statement in
his press conference, and I got to think, in twenty
four hours, he's gonna look back and go, wow, I
really lit up my kids way too much like they're
they're sending a message in a press conference saying something.
But to go throughout the entire press conference, where where
you can look at and go, oh wow, I really
(08:32):
I was on him. Here, I was on him, here,
I was on him. Here the emotion at the end
of the game. This is why they give you time
to wait to go back out there. And you knew, like, okay,
seeing that when you throw a chair, are you walking
into that postgame press conference in the in the most.
In the best frame of mind, you can be where
you want to say what you want to say, but
at the same time you're able to serve a bunch
(08:54):
of different masters here where, Hey, my team knows how
they played, but I'm also proud of them. I'm all,
you gotta go back and coach these guys at the end.
You can only give so much tough love. And look,
Doug obviously knows his team, but I just you know, overall,
perception is reality, and the perception is here. Hey, Doug
just absolutely lights into his team after the game is over,
throughout the press conference, and I'm wondering if in twenty
(09:16):
four hours or he wakes up tomorrow and going, Okay,
it was.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
A game we lost.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It was frustrating, and I kind of went overboard and
and and maybe that because that's what I would think
after because the next day you always think, Okay, this
wasn't a game that we got knocked out of the
NCAA tournament on. This wasn't a game we're walking out
of the we weren't able to win the horizon off
of it. Oh, look the best team and you had
him and you almost won. Can be incredibly frustrating, but
this is why you're a coach and and this is
(09:42):
this is where you're at. So just thinking that, like
I would say this it was Doug, I'd say, if
it was Bill Selth, I'd say this if if if
it was Tom Izzo, I would say, Wow, you really
all the way through to light your team up like that. Yeah,
that's something I think that the next day he's gonna
look back and go, yeah, going a little overboard.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yeah, I think some of it just is the balance, right,
he was praising and then equal amount it's like to
where it and ended up balancing out as opposed to
looking at what they were able to do for the
balance of the game.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, which was a tremendous effort.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Right, we're keeping track here, and then obviously it starts
going viral because of the chair thing, but you know,
lost in the effort that they gave here and how
how far he's brought this program since Sakey go over
last year. It's gonna be their idiots and here's a
chair toss. Yeah right, that's tough, man, That's that's the headline.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Reach.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You're the guy that threw that. You're the guy that
threw it and he knows that. Now obviously doing what
we do for a living, he knows it. Okay, you're
the guy that threw that that like, that's gonna be
the thing coming off this game.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Gott leap through cha.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
But it's the chair and it's the idiots comment that
are gonna be like, because that's the way social media
and aggregators and even the headlines on your most popular
sports websites, that's how it's gonna read. It's not the
nuanced of hey, they played really well. Look how how
they play defense against Robert Morris and held down their
shooting most of the game. All of this it's gonna
be those selected you know, little phraseologies and the chair
(11:11):
toss and then look, and this is which I'd go
full shaggy and say it wasn't mean sure no, because
you see the chair.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You don't see it's him.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
That was That was another guy that ran in front
of me, grabbed the chair and through it.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That because he's out of sight when that chair comes back.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah yeah, Look, but this is why I'm never gonna
be that upset at an athlete or a coach that
blows off a postgame meeting and takes a fine, right
because you get to be Oh, come on, you gotta
be able to. You gotta be able to talk after
a way to get talk after all. And I get that,
and you should be able to there's certain there's certain
things should be a Coaches especially should be able to
(11:47):
talk after a game. Players not always, but stars should
be able to own up to things. But I get
it that if you're not in that frame of mind
to go talk to somebody, the the effect of that,
if it doesn't go well, is way worse. And here's
a fifteen thousand dollars fine or a ten thousand dollars
whatever it's gonna be for not talking. Hey, I know
(12:08):
this player, it's gonna be worse if they come out
and talk. They're gonna say things because they're really frustrated.
You know what, let's just take the fine. We're not
gonna make this player available. Coach is not available because
I'm not in that frame where I should be talking
to the press right now because I'm gonna say things
that I really shouldn't. So while yeah, you would like
everybody to be able to talk at times, I understand,
because if you're gonna make it worse by going out
(12:30):
and talking Okay, well we'll take the fine then right
like that, that's I kind of understand a little bit
of that. And and that's where you know, you would
you hope that there's certain emergency breaks built in where hey,
maybe you're not ready. Take time here, they take five minutes.
Go do this, Go do this, Go do this, And
then it comes out a little bit differently in the
post game.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yah.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I mean we always talk about subjects and one of
the big mantras of the show, and I think as
an industry a lot of times it's it's the this
is what you hope for versus what you actually execute.
Is you're asking what's the win in covering a story? Right,
same thing here, going in front of a hot microphone
(13:11):
when you're still hot.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
There may not be a win.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
By the way, I would be remiss if I as
we're sitting here in the Fox Sports Radio studios, we've
got games and game replays, Sports television. They're doing the
history of Dick Fight Tell and they literally had the Bob.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Knight incident as part of it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Like literally, as you and I heard talking, I see
him spinning a chair across the look.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And there's certain time look.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Just to bring it that you don't even think about,
is that there's times where look, and I'm not saying
this is you know that this is awful for us,
but everybody deals with traffic every day. You know, there's
road rage incidents. You don't realize sometimes how mad you
are driving into it. Like you and I have long
drives into work right now. I'm I'm not saying anything
to say, oh, feel bad first. No, I'm just saying
(13:56):
is that you and I have long drives into work,
and there's times when I walk in to work, like
and I get here and it took a longer time
at you know, and usually a forty five minute drive
takes an hour and twenty minutes. And I come in
and people say hi and everything else. I'm like, you
know what, I'm not gonna talk to you right now
because I need five minutes. I need five minutes to
be able to get I'm gonna go to the bathroom,
I'm gonna go get a soda. I'm gonna come back
(14:18):
and then I'll be good. But you gotta give me
five minutes. You gotta give me some time here, because
this is why I've just spent time stewing in the car,
and I don't want to make a phone call to anybody.
I don't want to make a decision on anything because
I'm just mad, right because I'm not gonna get out
of his car. Because this guy, this car shouldn't be
allowed on the highway. It's twenty five years old.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Of course it's.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Gonna break down in the middle lane and we're gonna
wind up all being late. And of course I'm stupid
because I've been driving in the middle lane when I
should have been around outside, like you get that way.
I just say like, okay, I need a few minutes.
I don't want to talk to anybody. It's not and
sometimes it's like, oh, you know, boy, I don't know. Man,
he was kind of a jerk today. No, it's really
I just spend all this time in the car. I'm
not really happy. But in five minutes, but in five
(14:59):
minut it well, yeah, I mean that you've been you've
been riding, that you've been straight along for the last years.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, but but that but that's kind of where you know,
you understand that hey, having that time to cool off,
having time maybe Doug didnety still, you know, said but
I mean having that time to cool off and understand that, Okay,
this is not a time to be talking to people
are saying it that that's a valuable thing.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And always remembering that it doesn't end in that moment, right,
especially press conferences, what we do on air, and even
you know, the halls reverberate with what any conversation you
think it's a short lived Hey, with that you me
and the walls. Yeah, the walls have ears, man, and
those things keep spiraling. So yeah, I mean, you try
(15:41):
to put your best foot forward, and everybody does that.
In this case, he said a lot of great things
about his team. I mean, you can tell how much
he loves these kids and that and that's the hard
part is only the negative is going to be thrust forward.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And it was all the way through it was okay, okay,
right up down, up down. Can't because because that's the
other you know, that's the other part now, and that is.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
The old level.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
And look, I don't want to say God leaves an
old style, an old school coach, but being close to
the same age, you know, we grew up and played
sports and everything else where, Hey, coach, was it you?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
You did things?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Coaches way, and coach reinforced stuff with you however he wanted.
And coach reinforced a lot of things negative, Like negative
reinforcement was a big deal to you and I growing up, right,
And and now you know, I've learned really early in
coaching that you know what, you can't reinforce negatively too much,
you know, because if you reinforce that, kids are just
gonna say, you know, no, I'm not down with this,
(16:40):
I'm down with this.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Switch off. You have to you have to you have
to pick your spots to go.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That was the worst thing you could possibly do, right,
You can't say that all the time. And you can't
you can't harp on it. You can't go on like
negativity doesn't really sell. And and and especially with kids now,
it's like, yeah, I'm not going to respond to that
a little bit maybe, but the way but I think
think of the way that that you and I were
coach growing up, and probably.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I got hit with whistles, I had my helmet smashed into.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
It was just yeah, I mean, you didn't you didn't
you didn't get told you know, you're doing a great job,
much more than you told what are you doing? That
was I mean, I remember we still. I still can
hear one of my coaches, this is JV football. I
can still remember hearing him yell out like if the
other team had like eight or ten yards on a
play and somebody missed a tackle. I can still hear
him yelling it was horrible.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It was horrible. And he said he took out and
bring a bell and.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Horrible was like he dragged it out like a Mariah
Carey note, like it was a horruble.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I can still hear. I'm writing that into a script.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I like that exit out about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, the AI Jerry Jones postgame Cowboys
press conference was really something I know that I enjoy
fake AI press conferences more than Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
They really get a little wild. They ramp up fast.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
George Pickens gave minimal effort, which means I'm going to
give him a contract extension for a lot of cash.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I'll tell you what the George Pickens no show effort
at two to h four remaining on a deep ball
I gotta tell the object of a lot of scurvey
right now.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That pet We talked about that about forty five minutes ago.
When the Cowboys were down two scores. They get the
football back and Dak lets one go deep for George Pickens.
Pickens is double covered, but Pickens is having that kind
of year, and the ball just kind of falls incomplete,
and Pickens doesn't look like he gets after the ball
(19:49):
with any sort of effort.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Doesn't come back for it, He's not gonna get The
second defensive back kind of runs around him. So it's
not like he was gonna get blown up if he
may effort on the ball.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, I mean it looks this is the precarious situation
that is George Pickens and the Dallas Cowboys, and as
good as he's been again, like I talked about with
Jamier Gibson night, there's times where I think Jamier Gibbs
is the best running back in the NFL the last
fifteen years. Some of the stuff he's able to do. Oh,
we got Jay Glazer coming up a little bit to
talk about that with us.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
You know what, There was a stat though, that really
does wear it for our guy, Jamiir Gibbs most touchdowns
before turning twenty four all time, He's now tied. Barry
Sanders doesn't turn twenty four until March.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
So I feel the same way about George Pickens. Sometimes,
to go man, he looks like the best wide receiver
in the NFL, and then sometimes for no reason, he
looks completely disinterested and he's the wide receiver he was
with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Like, this is a guy that
needs that intervention where Puma say, hey, you want to
do this for the rest of your life. You want
(20:56):
to make a ton of money, Dude, you have to
be invested. You can't take off. He can't take time off.
Now he's not taking tons of time off because he's
having a great year.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
So hey, they.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Keep feeding me the football. But a play like that, man,
you got you gotta get after the football. Man, you
can't just sit there and just go after it lackadaisically
because you're down by two touchdowns, Like, you have to
be able to put out that effort or no one's
gonna pay you. The Cowboys are gonna say, hey, great,
thanks for this year, George. We can go get somebody else.
It's gonna be a little bit more consistent down the
stretch because as good a season as he's had, he's
(21:26):
still fighting. This next month is gonna decide what they
do with them contract wise, Like can you franchise George Pickens?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
You're okay with that?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Like you don't want the old George Pickens to come
up at all, But that's exactly what's coming up after tonight,
which shows you the danger of having of being tagged
with a certain with a certain images that you could
have twelve weeks of incredible football, but that thirteenth week,
if you're back to the guy who were a couple
of years ago, guess what it's like. It's zero sum.
(21:54):
All the good you have done is wiped out by
this game.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Well, but just go back to last year and your
guy Sam Darnold right dominated all year, has a couple
of subpar games, bad games, and all that good will
is thrown out the window. He goes to Seattle having
similar and everybody's just saying, well, when's that other Sam
show up? So as soon as he has another bad game,
seat I told you so again.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
We want more football coming up in a bit. Jay
Glazer gonna stop by talk about this game with us.
But tonight saw the end of Lebron James's double digit
point scoring streak, something that started in January of two
thousand and seven ended tonight in the Lakers win over
the Toronto Raptors, Lebron passing up a game winning shot
(22:38):
to get the ball to a wide open Ruy Hachimura,
who drills a three. Lakers win on the road again.
Right now, Lakers' second best team in the NBA. They
win without their stars, their best players take nights off
with their out because of injury, and they find a
way to win. They won tonight without Luca Austin Reeves
had forty four. They've won without Reeves, They've won without Lebron.
Lebron probably a lot of relief that he was able
(23:00):
to have this streak end and make a great game
winning play like this is the best thing for Lebron ever.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
As opposed to trying to take that shot, missing it
and maybe losing the game and losing the streak.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Twelve hundred and ninety seven consecutive double digit regular season
scoring efforts ended tonight. What did Lebron have to say
following the game about the end of the streak?
Speaker 8 (23:23):
Here he was, Lebron asked JJ if there was kind
of some element of the basketball guys there in those
final seconds, you know, streak and all that, but you
got a better pass, Ruey's opening the corner, he has
a hit in the shot. Can can you just take
us through that sequence and how it results?
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Just playing again the right way, you always make the
right play. That's just been my mo That's how I
was taught the game. I've done that my whole career.
It was not even one second guess in that once
they doubled AR and the ball got swanned me. I
know it's a members game. We got a four on
three advantage and was just trying to put the ball
all the time on target in right ruey socket in
a shot pocket and he knocked it down.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
So you get to stop on the other end, no
time out. But really said in the walk off that
you communicated to him at some point. I don't know
if you said, I'm going to get you or get
you the fall or you can get to it. What
what did you communicate? How did you do it in
that amount of time with no timeout, no stop, I'm going.
Speaker 9 (24:15):
To put him in a payoff spot.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
You know.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
I kind of looked up right of the bench and
obviously we didn't want to call time out. We had
a good flow. You know, AR been cooking all night,
and uh, you know, I started seeing our coach kind
of you know, telling you know, Scottie Barnes possibly double
So I wanted to keep real on the same side
to beat my payoff my payoff spot. Obviously it paid
off gay time with the three.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I know that's not as much time as the game ended.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
But now that the streak has ended, for you, what
feelings did you have any what? What pallet dies you do?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
None?
Speaker 9 (24:47):
We won? We the general kind of offensive float for
you in the game, but it came to getting your shot.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Okay, let's how so here do you have any regret?
Speaker 7 (25:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
We won right like this is where like this is
such I can't. People don't understand how big a win
this was tonight for Lebron, even though the streak ended,
because not only did the Lakers win the game, he.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Won over the team.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
They talk about how unselfish he is, because look, he
knew it was gonna be awkward with Lebron coming back.
He's been the Alpha for so long. How's he gonna
do when he comes back? When hey, Luca's number one
and Austin Reeves is one A, he's Scottie Pippen. He
wins over the team, he wins over the Lakers fans,
he wins over fans across the country. He wins over
the media because he makes an unselfish play and he
(25:36):
sacrifices the streak for the Lakers to win a game. Now,
ruy haa Chimura had to make the shot or you're
going overtime, but he makes it part of it. I'm
sure Lebron is is again very happy that I was
able to The streak was gonna end at some point,
and it happened in a way where I was able
to help the team win. But he's won the he's
(25:57):
won the day, He's won over so many fits. This
was going to be really awkward for Lebron and still
he's not shooting well, he's still trying to find his
way in the offense. But after tonight he is. He
has ingratiated himself back in with everybody, with everybody connected
to the Lakers and everybody connected the basketball. That's one
of the biggest wins Lebron has had his entire career.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
The beauty of it is that it pushes aside the
fact that he looks out of sorts of times and
can't find a shot. It's still a four of seventeen
from zero five from three point range, eleven assists, the
six rebounds, still finding other ways to make plays like
the shot. Someone whoever was standing watching the game right
(26:42):
behind Ruy Hachimora. It might be one of the greatest.
I feel like I'm wearing, you know, goggles for a
VR experience as Lebron whips the ball to Ruy for
the shot for the game winner, Like it is a
ridiculous video component, but for Lebron. Yeah, it's the win
of all wins. All right, the street to go on,
but we got a w.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Amazing So yeah, look at Lebron, Lebron winning the day,
winning every one of the big You thought it was
going to be awkward, and now something.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Everything is great again.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Lakers still awkward as hell now Lakers holes comparison twenty
five games into a year.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Lakers.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Lakers have no problems. Man, look a look at their
wreck winning without their stars. It's the biggest mark of
a great team. And that's how good they are. Still
Oklahoma is is the best team for the Lakers. Second
best team, Lakers. Thunder Rolls tell how to find out
what's trending in the wide world of sports with someone
who's a big fan of the second best team in
Los Angeles. It's Clipper fan Monty Belongings.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
Yeh, I am a Clipper fan. You are so wrong
on your Lebron James take Jason, he did not win
the fans over In fact, Ian and I were talking
about his answer.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
He's like, who cares? We want or however he said it,
what do you want him to say? Of course we
should have taken.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
A shot steppad last week for it, so I know
you cared, and that's okay to care.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 10 (27:59):
You've had it in two thousand and seven, so stop
being fake and say, yeah, that was a long run.
It sucks that it's ended, but at least we won.
But he sounded like appalled that. The reporter asked, of
course he's going to play it up that way, but.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
He knew.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
He knew it was going to end at some point,
and it's ending in the best way possible.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
Say that, say what you just said, that's what. That's
not James, but that's what, and that's support. It's like,
don't don't pretend like you don't care, because we know
you do. And he was dismissing it like it wasn't
a big deal. And that's the problem with Lebron, the disingenu.
There's a disconnect with him. So whatever, whatever, he's not.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
He's not my team.
Speaker 10 (28:36):
He's not on my team, although my team does suck,
so I have really nothing to say.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Let's talk about the NFL. Say you got that one
game winning streets.
Speaker 10 (28:43):
That's why I bring his ball back.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (28:45):
The Lions defeated the Cowboys forty four to thirty to
kick off Week fourteen of the NFL. Jared got through
for three hundred and nine yards a touchdown. Dak Pres
got through for three hundred and seventy six yards one touchdown,
two interceptions, but it was Jamior Gibbs and I. He
had a hat trick three rushing touchdowns. He also had
seven catches for seventy seven yards. He has scored forty
seven career touchdowns and has tid Berry Sanders for the
(29:06):
most touchdowns in a player's first three NFL seasons.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
The Lakers walked it off.
Speaker 10 (29:10):
We discussed that seventy six ers survived ninety nine to
ninety eight against the Warriors on a tip shot from
rookie VJ. Edgecombe, who went in with ten points, but
it was Tyrese Maxey who had thirty five points. Timberwolves
outscored the Pelicans one, twenty five to one sixteen, Julius
Randall twenty eight points and nine rebounds. Celtics blew out
the Wizards won forty six to one oh one, and
the Jazz topped the Nets one twenty three to one
ten and Casey missed it. In college football, Kansas State
(29:32):
is hiring a familiar face, calling Klein to be their
new head of football coach. He was their quarterback in
twenty twelve and was a former assistant from twenty seventeen
to twenty twenty three. And in the NHL, I'll give
you a couple scores. Like the Islanders, they topped the
Avalanche six to three. The Blackhawks defeated the Kings two
to one, but Connor McDavid had a hat trick the
thirteenth of his career, and the Oilers outscored the Kraken
(29:53):
nine to four.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Back to you guys, thanks.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Overwhelms the Cowboys forty four to thirty.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Tonight.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
You got a chance to catch up with Jay Glazer
NFL on Fox Inside or stop by after the game.
Great stuff on the lines, great stuff on the Cowboys,
and great stuff on the Mike Tomlin situation. You can
follow Jay on Twitter at Jay Glazer, That is at
Jay Glazer. Jay, what's happening?
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Man? How you doing, dude?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I don't know how you doing his greate as Jamier Gibbs,
I don't know. I don't know anybody's doing his good a.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Jamior Gibba, the Great Jamar Gizzess right now gives unbelievable
what a mismatch he is for everybody. You know, it's interesting. Also,
just you see this flying team. You know I was
talking about culture right, culture, culture, culture and the culture
of Dan Campbell brings fact they just won their fifteenth
game after a loss. That is unreal. Like, you know,
(31:23):
other teams know they lose and they start going downhill
and camble with that culture. He's like, hey man, we're
going to make sure we you talk about correcting your
mistakes and fixing your mistakes. There's nobody obviously does it
better for you to come back sixteen losses in a row,
will win the next time.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
That's unreal, And you know, and the thing is, it's
kind of apropos that he was at the game tonight
because I think Jamiir Gibs is probably the closest thing
we've seen to Barry Sanders in the last fifteen years.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
No, no, no, no, no, no, there's nothing like Barry Standers. Man.
I listen, I covered the NFL back Barry Sanders, and
I remember, actually was there's my one of my first
weeks of CBS. This I think it was my first
(32:12):
week of CBS when he retired, and I had that
The lines were like trying to take his money back
because my first scoops ever had for a national lyric.
But then, you know, covering Barry, I remember, you know,
being a giant practice and seeing all the years, the
different people that they would put in practice to play
Barry Sanders. And it's like and then they had all
(32:34):
these different drills for Barry. Sanders was like, hey, you know,
playing Detroit to speak, make sure there's four guys around
him and all that are like, hey, we're gonna have
you know, the quickest little receiver is gonna play Barry
Barry Sanders for the Scout. It was unbelievable. I remember
for I think it was Stray Ander told me he's
like one time he like Barry never talked to I
(32:55):
love Barry and I are great, like you know, we've
become good friends, you know, And it was, you know,
sits down a bunch of appearances. He's so humble. He's
like a humble warrior. I think it was straight ahead.
I'm pretty sure Michael wasn't you. I'm sorry, but he said, like,
you know, he's like that. There's like a highlight like
I got Barry kind of one I want to tackle him,
(33:16):
and I was again I got start talking smack and
Barry said I'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
That sounds about right.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
That's that's the guy that Barry Sanders response, Sorry, mister.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Sanders, Yeah, that was mister Sanders.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I'll be right back. I'm taking mister Sanders.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
The impressive part of this one.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Jay, they kept Jared Goff clean, did a lot of
talk about the Dallas defense and the rise up. Uh
they got humbled tonight forty four on them and and.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
The Clean Jersey Club for Jared Goff.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Yeah, I think you off to find do a great job.
By the way, Frank raight Now like, Wow, he's unbelievable
because you know he's gonna come back right and you know,
Frank Bracknow, he has a different like pain threshold than
the rest of the planet. So you know, he told
the lines like yeah, he's got this little hamstring twins.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
You know, I'm a.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Big and he calls a m ariot and it's a
complete hamstring tear, a grade three. And in his mind
he's like, that's just a little twinch. I'm good like yo,
little up. He just grabbed a little like it was
a complete grade three. Pear just goes to show you
the difference, you know, Frek Bracknow and everybody else, and
(34:39):
his credit too. I think he didn't want to uh
just sit there and take money and say I'm just
sit in and get paid to recover. He's a warrior.
But once that was off the table for them, they're like,
all right, we got to deal with the wool. Got here,
we got to come together. There is no there's nothing
else right, there's no cavalry, right, the cavalry has to
be in this room right here. And they definitely stepped up.
(35:00):
And what they did to that defensive front was really impressive.
I see that the defensive tackle rotation they are going there.
You know, they got all those d tackles. So people
like Jamior Gibbs can't do what they did tonight.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Now, Jay, for the Cowboys, they have been red hot offensively,
still the nice night offensively Tonight they lose c d Lamb,
you know, concussion protocol for him. How do you see
the next month for the Dallas Cowboys? Are they still
arrow up or they still Hey? The Cowboys? Still the Cowboys?
How do you see it after tonight?
Speaker 4 (35:28):
First of all, I think the Cowboys, look, cowboys have
been through a lot this year, all right, so we
have to look. They like to be the greatest reality
show in the league. They have that, right, but sometimes
it wears on you. I feel like tonight they kind
of caught up from me a little bit, right, And
they've been through a lot, And I said, they've been
through a lot, but well let's go back to we
the preseason. We've put allt Michael Parsons, right, so you
(35:50):
had all that, yeah, that you're dealing with, right, you
have the defense and obviously all the trades, but obviously
mars On Neeland and I think with mars On neland
the team end up coming together. I thought what they did,
with what Brian Stenheimer did and Dack and Solomon Thomas
and everybody in that locker room had I I really
think that, you know, they came together. You know, I
(36:11):
said it this weekend. It's only a couple of times
in life you really get to find out who you
truly are as people, and they did by coming together.
And they have and now this loss has nothing to
do with it. It's just how they responded the last
few weeks. But I you know, it's almost like tonight,
I just saw like a team at a little bit tired.
I just you know, I shouldn't say. Look, they played
(36:33):
on Thanksgiving, had an emotional you know game there, they
have an emotional a couple of weeks. It just seems
a little off to me tonight, and they have a
Detroit Lions team. Dan Campbell's back against the wall. I
think you're going to get everything thrown at you.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yeah, a couple of big plays by the defense tip
balls to and want to seal the win. Another thing
that the narratives and and everybody coming out of the woodwork,
including former players. Uh in Steeler Land with Mike Tomlin, Uh,
we're we're at that point in the season again for
him where everybody's now calling calling his head. Uh, you know,
(37:10):
how does he respond? You know, these final couple of
games here with the a little bit of a different
makeup for this offense and where the team is.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Look, they still got obviously the horses over there if
they want to do it. They're still in contention for
the title. But I just you know, it's to hear
everybody calling with the fire Tomlin chance, Like, Hey, this
guy's giving you, you know, two decades of no losing
seasons and you know, I'm fun through a lot of
things to continue building that culture over there that bought
(37:41):
me a little bit, but didn't bother him. No, Like
he's just like just Mike Tomlin is a like the
amount of times the thing bothers him over the years.
I mean I could probably count him on like one
and maybe three three fingers like he don't get to him.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
He's on to are at Jay Glazer, that is at
Jay Glazer. Jay as always, buddy, appreciate your time. Thanks
for stopping by tonight. We'll talk to you next week.
Have a great one, Appreciate it all right, there was
Jay Glazer. Sorry, mister sorry, mister s that's a good story.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
I'll be back. I'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Uh oh.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
I think we just upset Barry Sanders well because.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
They were never going away from the run. So you
know you were gonna see him soon. It's just a
matter of whether you were gonna be up to the task.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Sometimes it's on the same play Listen, We're gonna run
all the way over here, doesn't mean I'm not coming back.
All right, I'll see you in a second, because when
I run to this side and I realize I'm not
getting I'm gonna come all the way back around.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
It's okay.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Always makes me smile to see him as much as
he terrorized my beloved Chicago Bears all those years. I mean,
Barry Sanders is just a guy. I smile when I
see him up in that booth and have those memories
of man that's football growing up as Barry Sanders Sundays.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I think my favorite Barry Sanders quote was when you
know the Harlan Barnett play right the Patriots dB that
he turned around all those times running for the touchdown.
Like they did an interview with him and they were
looking like, right when it was going into the season,
he's going to break the record, and they talked about
Harlan Barny, the Harlan Barnett play and he goes who
and then the whoever was doing any of you said, oh,
(39:13):
you know remember the Patriots player when you went this way?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
And he just goes, oh that guy.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Well like me in a lot of times. I'm sure
it was just a number and who he had to
run through around and all of those Yeah, all those comparisons.
Jamior Gibbs now tied most touchdowns under twenty four. Great
tests coming up next, they got the Rams.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
There's probably the majority of players in the NFL. When
you think about who you're going up against defensively, you
think about players where they are on the field. I
don't think Batry Sanders ever thought once about where a
defensive player was going to be on the field.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Who I don't know, anybody. I don't ever about anybody,
maybe not even him. Exit out about a Fresco exit
swollen dome from Mike. I'm Jason coming up next to
my buddy Ben Mallar, Fox
Hello, Welcome inside Final hour tonight the Jason Smith Show
with my bes friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Fours are up.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm gonna hear from Lebron James coming up in about
twenty minutes. His streak of double digit games ending tonight
Street that goes all the way back to early two
thousand and seven.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
He had a good run in the lake. It is
a good run. Now.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
That's where I agree with you. It is a good run.
That is a good run because a lot of times
you say it was a good run and it's not
a good find. That was a good run.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Now you always get mad at me, like if it's
just because it has a negative end, doesn't mean it
wasn't a good run.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
But sometimes you know, a good run is more than
just like eight hours, you know, like you know you
said it was a good run, Now it wasn't a
good run. Eight hours is a pretty good run for
a lot of things, all right, For sleeping eight hours
is a good run. You had eight hour that's a
good ride, a good run. I slept for eight hours.
It's a good run, okay.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
And when you go for a good run eight less
than eight hours.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Eight hours between big big heaping slices of chocolate cake
and not not a good run. It's not a good run.
More than more than eight hours between runs for that.
But speaking of basketball, right, we'll well, it's got more
on the Lions win over the Cowboys coming up this hour.
The Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Tomorrow is
(01:15):
going to be very, very interesting because of the national
headlines that Gottlieb made tonight following their loss to Robert Morris.
The Phoenix had a ten point lead late, they blew it.
Robert Morris comes back, they hit a game winning layup,
Green Bay's potential game winning shot rims out, and Gottlieb
(01:38):
and Bob Knight now share this bit of infamy is
both guys have thrown chairs, either during or after a game.
You see a video of Gottlieb walking off the court
and he grabs a chair and throws it across one
of those black plastic chairs with this with the silver legs,
throws it across and then continued to talk about his
(02:00):
frustration with the loss after the game was over. Now
the thing is now to deal with the chair throwing thing, like,
oh boy, I'm glad that this was something that was
isolated that there was anybody around. Not that he would
do that, but you never know when when someone's standing around,
you know, you throw a chair because obviously you're in
(02:22):
kind of a blind rage and you're really mad when.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You're doing that.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
But intended consequences right to break away chair, you know,
piece comes off, whatever the case may be, happen.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But look, I.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Get that part of it, you know, I get the
frustration and coaching, I get that, you know, being the
youth coach, you know, at different levels I've had throughout
my life. Like both for soccer and soft pall we
lost big games. We lost the games games in the
state tournament, lost big tournaments in soccer whatever. It was like,
there's times I would have liked to throw a chair
(02:53):
because something happens. It's really frustrating, and you know, luckily
there were no chairs around, because here there's a lot
of chairs in the soccer field, not a lot of
chairs around in the softball money of chairs around. I'd
have to go, hey, ma'am, will you get up out
of that chair?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Why?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Because I want to throw it.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Get playing lawn darts with some of the umbrellas that
the families bring I mean, there's lots of things you
can do.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Hey, Debra, Yeah, go tell your mom to let me
have the chair she's sitting in. Why because it's really
light and I want to throw it as far as
I can. Just go ask your mom for the chair. Okay,
it's fine, I'll buy you guys ice cream up. No,
uh So, I get it.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
But the thing is, I was the thing that I did,
and it's weird. And I don't know if I got
this subtly from the show, but I remember in Dead
to Me Christina Applegate, whenever she would get frustrated, she
would go get in her car, like it was in
the garage. Like she would just go get in her
car in the garage, turn her car on, put on
some kind of crazy ass death metal slayer music, and
(03:51):
just bang her head and shake the steering wheel right like. So.
I don't know if that was in my head for it,
but what I would always do if I was frustrated
for a game something like that, I would wait the
game would end, I would get in my car, wait
before I was giving Zoe a ride home or whatever
it was, I'd get my car, turn the car, turn
the radio up, really loud. I would grab the stream
and I would yell the biggest F bomb or whatever
I wanted to yell. I would just say because I
(04:11):
was so mad. I had to get that out because
I didn't want to yell at the kids. I didn't
want to yell, but I was so mad that that.
But so that became my thing, and I always had
to make sure when I could, I turned the radio up,
because I never wanted to be the guy that got
in the car started yelling only to realize, Oh, I
forgot to roll up the back window, and now there's
people in the parking lot going, oh, coach is mad.
(04:33):
Coach is really mad? You think he's mad at our kid.
I think he's mad at the end of the game.
So I always made let me turn the music on
just to make sure it's loud. So people just hear
a Guns n' Roses song or Poison or whatever he's
listening to, and I get that big yell and I
would always feel better.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And that was a big tension breaker. I always wanted
to do that. I always help you that you actually
sing on a little Eric Carmon, I didn't make me loose,
kid job.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I would never want to sing. I only wanted I
only wanted to sing after we won. If I'm driving
down there, there's a couple of songs you put on,
like you that you know your team has songs that no, no, no,
I was always I would just yell. I would get
so mad.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
All right.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
For those that haven't seen it, though, Marsden uh and uh,
Cardlini uh and Applegate. I mean, that is a fantastic show,
So go give that a watch.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Mars been playing twins in the show.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I used to run into him over here all the
time over Blue Dog. Was he dressed like Cyclops? Did
he have the one thing? And it was him in
his fantasy league?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh okay, so because he did, because I really was.
Next time you see him, I really dug those Cyclops
shades that he had, Like, those are the sunglasses I
really want, like I would to get a pair of those.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
We'll see if we can pull that off. Yeah, we'll
write a letter to him.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I think I think you're actually final like site like
like like sunglasses Mars and wore Cyclops.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I might think we could probably find that in a
prop store auction. Actually, so I get I get it
with Gottlieb. I I understand that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Look, I've known Doug for a long time, did shows
together everything. I get the frustration. I know what he
puts into coaching. Uh you know, look getting the game
at Green Bay. Like, I know, nobody in the country
coach more games than him, because all the youth games
he would coach. And I remember one time he told
me about one kid he was coaching that he would,
you know, make a shot, would always look to him like,
you know, did I make the play? And Doug tell
(06:13):
me goes. I told him, I said, the next time
you do something and you look at me, I'm taking
you out of the game. I mean, don't look at me,
make the show, get back up, don't look about taking
you out of the game.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
You look at me, out of the game. But we
know what this means to him.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It was a long it's long been talked about in
his broadcasting career, and this was a game that would
have gotten them to five hundred. This is a game
against defending conference.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Channel Like, there's a lot going into this game and
the way they'd play tonight. Now here's where I'm wondering
if in twenty four hours Doug would think differently about
this part of it again, gaming big headlines towards one
of the top stories on ESPN dot com. Right now,
here's a little bit of Doug about the game, frustration
level after the game, blowing the league late lead late
(07:00):
and this is what he talked about with some of
the stuff he said about his team following the loss.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I'm encouraged by our effort and our defense and how
we executed and that was just embarrassing how we lost
the game. We're actually a good basketball team. I know
it's surprising to people. We're actually pretty good. But we
played like idiots at the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He went on to say, we didn't defend the three
point line. We have guys that are not listening. It
happens we lost the game.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
They had a ten second violation that he owned for that.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Now here's the thing. This is part of a very
big press conference that Doug made, and throughout it you
hear all these things that he said about his team.
This is why and this is why just you know,
because I would say this about any coach you know,
Doug or anybody else, I would say this is that,
this is why you have.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
A cooling off period after the game.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
This is why after you throw a chair, maybe someone
comes up to you and says, take a few minutes
before you go out there and talk to anybody, because
I get when you want to go out there and
send a message to your team, you want to say
something like, hey, we played like idiots at the end
of the game. Okay, fine, But throughout his entire press
conference taking shots at his team, they don't listen. We
(08:11):
have guys, we're talented, we're pretty good. We played like
idiots like this is all peppered throughout his statement in
his press conference, and I got to think, in twenty
four hours, he's gonna look back and go, wow, I
really lit up my kids way too much like they're
they're sending a message in a press conference saying something.
But to go throughout the entire press conference, where where
you can look at and go, oh wow, I really
(08:32):
I was on him. Here, I was on him, here,
I was on him. Here the emotion at the end
of the game. This is why they give you time
to wait to go back out there. And you knew, like, okay,
seeing that when you throw a chair, are you walking
into that postgame press conference in the in the most.
In the best frame of mind, you can be where
you want to say what you want to say, but
at the same time you're able to serve a bunch
(08:54):
of different masters here where, Hey, my team knows how
they played, but I'm also proud of them. I'm all,
you gotta go back and coach these guys at the end.
You can only give so much tough love. And look,
Doug obviously knows his team, but I just you know, overall,
perception is reality, and the perception is here. Hey, Doug
just absolutely lights into his team after the game is over,
throughout the press conference, and I'm wondering if in twenty
(09:16):
four hours or he wakes up tomorrow and going, Okay,
it was.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
A game we lost.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It was frustrating, and I kind of went overboard and
and and maybe that because that's what I would think
after because the next day you always think, Okay, this
wasn't a game that we got knocked out of the
NCAA tournament on. This wasn't a game we're walking out
of the we weren't able to win the horizon off
of it. Oh, look the best team and you had
him and you almost won. Can be incredibly frustrating, but
this is why you're a coach and and this is
(09:42):
this is where you're at. So just thinking that, like
I would say this it was Doug, I'd say, if
it was Bill Selth, I'd say this if if if
it was Tom Izzo, I would say, Wow, you really
all the way through to light your team up like that. Yeah,
that's something I think that the next day he's gonna
look back and go, yeah, going a little overboard.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yeah, I think some of it just is the balance, right,
he was praising and then equal amount it's like to
where it and ended up balancing out as opposed to
looking at what they were able to do for the
balance of the game.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, which was a tremendous effort.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Right, we're keeping track here, and then obviously it starts
going viral because of the chair thing, but you know,
lost in the effort that they gave here and how
how far he's brought this program since Sakey go over
last year. It's gonna be their idiots and here's a
chair toss. Yeah right, that's tough, man, That's that's the headline.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Reach.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You're the guy that threw that. You're the guy that
threw it and he knows that. Now obviously doing what
we do for a living, he knows it. Okay, you're
the guy that threw that that like, that's gonna be
the thing coming off this game.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Gott leap through cha.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
But it's the chair and it's the idiots comment that
are gonna be like, because that's the way social media
and aggregators and even the headlines on your most popular
sports websites, that's how it's gonna read. It's not the
nuanced of hey, they played really well. Look how how
they play defense against Robert Morris and held down their
shooting most of the game. All of this it's gonna
be those selected you know, little phraseologies and the chair
(11:11):
toss and then look, and this is which I'd go
full shaggy and say it wasn't mean sure no, because
you see the chair.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You don't see it's him.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
That was That was another guy that ran in front
of me, grabbed the chair and through it.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That because he's out of sight when that chair comes back.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah yeah, Look, but this is why I'm never gonna
be that upset at an athlete or a coach that
blows off a postgame meeting and takes a fine, right
because you get to be Oh, come on, you gotta
be able to. You gotta be able to talk after
a way to get talk after all. And I get that,
and you should be able to there's certain there's certain
things should be a Coaches especially should be able to
(11:47):
talk after a game. Players not always, but stars should
be able to own up to things. But I get
it that if you're not in that frame of mind
to go talk to somebody, the the effect of that,
if it doesn't go well, is way worse. And here's
a fifteen thousand dollars fine or a ten thousand dollars
whatever it's gonna be for not talking. Hey, I know
(12:08):
this player, it's gonna be worse if they come out
and talk. They're gonna say things because they're really frustrated.
You know what, let's just take the fine. We're not
gonna make this player available. Coach is not available because
I'm not in that frame where I should be talking
to the press right now because I'm gonna say things
that I really shouldn't. So while yeah, you would like
everybody to be able to talk at times, I understand,
because if you're gonna make it worse by going out
(12:30):
and talking Okay, well we'll take the fine then right
like that, that's I kind of understand a little bit
of that. And and that's where you know, you would
you hope that there's certain emergency breaks built in where hey,
maybe you're not ready. Take time here, they take five minutes.
Go do this, Go do this, Go do this, And
then it comes out a little bit differently in the
post game.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yah.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I mean we always talk about subjects and one of
the big mantras of the show, and I think as
an industry a lot of times it's it's the this
is what you hope for versus what you actually execute.
Is you're asking what's the win in covering a story? Right,
same thing here, going in front of a hot microphone
(13:11):
when you're still hot.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
There may not be a win.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
By the way, I would be remiss if I as
we're sitting here in the Fox Sports Radio studios, we've
got games and game replays, Sports television. They're doing the
history of Dick Fight Tell and they literally had the Bob.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Knight incident as part of it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Like literally, as you and I heard talking, I see
him spinning a chair across the look.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And there's certain time look.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Just to bring it that you don't even think about,
is that there's times where look, and I'm not saying
this is you know that this is awful for us,
but everybody deals with traffic every day. You know, there's
road rage incidents. You don't realize sometimes how mad you
are driving into it. Like you and I have long
drives into work right now. I'm I'm not saying anything
to say, oh, feel bad first. No, I'm just saying
(13:56):
is that you and I have long drives into work,
and there's times when I walk in to work, like
and I get here and it took a longer time
at you know, and usually a forty five minute drive
takes an hour and twenty minutes. And I come in
and people say hi and everything else. I'm like, you
know what, I'm not gonna talk to you right now
because I need five minutes. I need five minutes to
be able to get I'm gonna go to the bathroom,
I'm gonna go get a soda. I'm gonna come back
(14:18):
and then I'll be good. But you gotta give me
five minutes. You gotta give me some time here, because
this is why I've just spent time stewing in the car,
and I don't want to make a phone call to anybody.
I don't want to make a decision on anything because
I'm just mad, right because I'm not gonna get out
of his car. Because this guy, this car shouldn't be
allowed on the highway. It's twenty five years old.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Of course it's.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Gonna break down in the middle lane and we're gonna
wind up all being late. And of course I'm stupid
because I've been driving in the middle lane when I
should have been around outside, like you get that way.
I just say like, okay, I need a few minutes.
I don't want to talk to anybody. It's not and
sometimes it's like, oh, you know, boy, I don't know. Man,
he was kind of a jerk today. No, it's really
I just spend all this time in the car. I'm
not really happy. But in five minutes, but in five
(14:59):
minut it well, yeah, I mean that you've been you've
been riding, that you've been straight along for the last years.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, but but that but that's kind of where you know,
you understand that hey, having that time to cool off,
having time maybe Doug didnety still, you know, said but
I mean having that time to cool off and understand that, Okay,
this is not a time to be talking to people
are saying it that that's a valuable thing.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And always remembering that it doesn't end in that moment, right,
especially press conferences, what we do on air, and even
you know, the halls reverberate with what any conversation you
think it's a short lived Hey, with that you me
and the walls. Yeah, the walls have ears, man, and
those things keep spiraling. So yeah, I mean, you try
(15:41):
to put your best foot forward, and everybody does that.
In this case, he said a lot of great things
about his team. I mean, you can tell how much
he loves these kids and that and that's the hard
part is only the negative is going to be thrust forward.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And it was all the way through it was okay, okay,
right up down, up down. Can't because because that's the
other you know, that's the other part now, and that is.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
The old level.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
And look, I don't want to say God leaves an
old style, an old school coach, but being close to
the same age, you know, we grew up and played
sports and everything else where, Hey, coach, was it you?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
You did things?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Coaches way, and coach reinforced stuff with you however he wanted.
And coach reinforced a lot of things negative, Like negative
reinforcement was a big deal to you and I growing up, right,
And and now you know, I've learned really early in
coaching that you know what, you can't reinforce negatively too much,
you know, because if you reinforce that, kids are just
gonna say, you know, no, I'm not down with this,
(16:40):
I'm down with this.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Switch off. You have to you have to you have
to pick your spots to go.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That was the worst thing you could possibly do, right,
You can't say that all the time. And you can't
you can't harp on it. You can't go on like
negativity doesn't really sell. And and and especially with kids now,
it's like, yeah, I'm not going to respond to that
a little bit maybe, but the way but I think
think of the way that that you and I were
coach growing up, and probably.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I got hit with whistles, I had my helmet smashed into.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
It was just yeah, I mean, you didn't you didn't
you didn't get told you know, you're doing a great job,
much more than you told what are you doing? That
was I mean, I remember we still. I still can
hear one of my coaches, this is JV football. I
can still remember hearing him yell out like if the
other team had like eight or ten yards on a
play and somebody missed a tackle. I can still hear
him yelling it was horrible.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It was horrible. And he said he took out and
bring a bell and.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Horrible was like he dragged it out like a Mariah
Carey note, like it was a horruble.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I can still hear. I'm writing that into a script.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I like that exit out about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, the AI Jerry Jones postgame Cowboys
press conference was really something I know that I enjoy
fake AI press conferences more than Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
They really get a little wild. They ramp up fast.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
George Pickens gave minimal effort, which means I'm going to
give him a contract extension for a lot of cash.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I'll tell you what the George Pickens no show effort
at two to h four remaining on a deep ball
I gotta tell the object of a lot of scurvey
right now.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That pet We talked about that about forty five minutes ago.
When the Cowboys were down two scores. They get the
football back and Dak lets one go deep for George Pickens.
Pickens is double covered, but Pickens is having that kind
of year, and the ball just kind of falls incomplete,
and Pickens doesn't look like he gets after the ball
(19:49):
with any sort of effort.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Doesn't come back for it, He's not gonna get The
second defensive back kind of runs around him. So it's
not like he was gonna get blown up if he
may effort on the ball.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, I mean it looks this is the precarious situation
that is George Pickens and the Dallas Cowboys, and as
good as he's been again, like I talked about with
Jamier Gibson night, there's times where I think Jamier Gibbs
is the best running back in the NFL the last
fifteen years. Some of the stuff he's able to do. Oh,
we got Jay Glazer coming up a little bit to
talk about that with us.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
You know what, There was a stat though, that really
does wear it for our guy, Jamiir Gibbs most touchdowns
before turning twenty four all time, He's now tied. Barry
Sanders doesn't turn twenty four until March.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
So I feel the same way about George Pickens. Sometimes,
to go man, he looks like the best wide receiver
in the NFL, and then sometimes for no reason, he
looks completely disinterested and he's the wide receiver he was
with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Like, this is a guy that
needs that intervention where Puma say, hey, you want to
do this for the rest of your life. You want
(20:56):
to make a ton of money, Dude, you have to
be invested. You can't take off. He can't take time off.
Now he's not taking tons of time off because he's
having a great year.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
So hey, they.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Keep feeding me the football. But a play like that, man,
you got you gotta get after the football. Man, you
can't just sit there and just go after it lackadaisically
because you're down by two touchdowns, Like, you have to
be able to put out that effort or no one's
gonna pay you. The Cowboys are gonna say, hey, great,
thanks for this year, George. We can go get somebody else.
It's gonna be a little bit more consistent down the
stretch because as good a season as he's had, he's
(21:26):
still fighting. This next month is gonna decide what they
do with them contract wise, Like can you franchise George Pickens?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
You're okay with that?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Like you don't want the old George Pickens to come
up at all, But that's exactly what's coming up after tonight,
which shows you the danger of having of being tagged
with a certain with a certain images that you could
have twelve weeks of incredible football, but that thirteenth week,
if you're back to the guy who were a couple
of years ago, guess what it's like. It's zero sum.
(21:54):
All the good you have done is wiped out by
this game.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Well, but just go back to last year and your
guy Sam Darnold right dominated all year, has a couple
of subpar games, bad games, and all that good will
is thrown out the window. He goes to Seattle having
similar and everybody's just saying, well, when's that other Sam
show up? So as soon as he has another bad game,
seat I told you so again.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
We want more football coming up in a bit. Jay
Glazer gonna stop by talk about this game with us.
But tonight saw the end of Lebron James's double digit
point scoring streak, something that started in January of two
thousand and seven ended tonight in the Lakers win over
the Toronto Raptors, Lebron passing up a game winning shot
(22:38):
to get the ball to a wide open Ruy Hachimura,
who drills a three. Lakers win on the road again.
Right now, Lakers' second best team in the NBA. They
win without their stars, their best players take nights off
with their out because of injury, and they find a
way to win. They won tonight without Luca Austin Reeves
had forty four. They've won without Reeves, They've won without Lebron.
Lebron probably a lot of relief that he was able
(23:00):
to have this streak end and make a great game
winning play like this is the best thing for Lebron ever.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
As opposed to trying to take that shot, missing it
and maybe losing the game and losing the streak.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Twelve hundred and ninety seven consecutive double digit regular season
scoring efforts ended tonight. What did Lebron have to say
following the game about the end of the streak?
Speaker 8 (23:23):
Here he was, Lebron asked JJ if there was kind
of some element of the basketball guys there in those
final seconds, you know, streak and all that, but you
got a better pass, Ruey's opening the corner, he has
a hit in the shot. Can can you just take
us through that sequence and how it results?
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Just playing again the right way, you always make the
right play. That's just been my mo That's how I
was taught the game. I've done that my whole career.
It was not even one second guess in that once
they doubled AR and the ball got swanned me. I
know it's a members game. We got a four on
three advantage and was just trying to put the ball
all the time on target in right ruey socket in
a shot pocket and he knocked it down.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
So you get to stop on the other end, no
time out. But really said in the walk off that
you communicated to him at some point. I don't know
if you said, I'm going to get you or get
you the fall or you can get to it. What
what did you communicate? How did you do it in
that amount of time with no timeout, no stop, I'm going.
Speaker 9 (24:15):
To put him in a payoff spot.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
You know.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
I kind of looked up right of the bench and
obviously we didn't want to call time out. We had
a good flow. You know, AR been cooking all night,
and uh, you know, I started seeing our coach kind
of you know, telling you know, Scottie Barnes possibly double
So I wanted to keep real on the same side
to beat my payoff my payoff spot. Obviously it paid
off gay time with the three.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I know that's not as much time as the game ended.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
But now that the streak has ended, for you, what
feelings did you have any what? What pallet dies you do?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
None?
Speaker 9 (24:47):
We won? We the general kind of offensive float for
you in the game, but it came to getting your shot.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Okay, let's how so here do you have any regret?
Speaker 7 (25:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
We won right like this is where like this is
such I can't. People don't understand how big a win
this was tonight for Lebron, even though the streak ended,
because not only did the Lakers win the game, he.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Won over the team.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
They talk about how unselfish he is, because look, he
knew it was gonna be awkward with Lebron coming back.
He's been the Alpha for so long. How's he gonna
do when he comes back? When hey, Luca's number one
and Austin Reeves is one A, he's Scottie Pippen. He
wins over the team, he wins over the Lakers fans,
he wins over fans across the country. He wins over
the media because he makes an unselfish play and he
(25:36):
sacrifices the streak for the Lakers to win a game. Now,
ruy haa Chimura had to make the shot or you're
going overtime, but he makes it part of it. I'm
sure Lebron is is again very happy that I was
able to The streak was gonna end at some point,
and it happened in a way where I was able
to help the team win. But he's won the he's
(25:57):
won the day, He's won over so many fits. This
was going to be really awkward for Lebron and still
he's not shooting well, he's still trying to find his
way in the offense. But after tonight he is. He
has ingratiated himself back in with everybody, with everybody connected
to the Lakers and everybody connected the basketball. That's one
of the biggest wins Lebron has had his entire career.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
The beauty of it is that it pushes aside the
fact that he looks out of sorts of times and
can't find a shot. It's still a four of seventeen
from zero five from three point range, eleven assists, the
six rebounds, still finding other ways to make plays like
the shot. Someone whoever was standing watching the game right
(26:42):
behind Ruy Hachimora. It might be one of the greatest.
I feel like I'm wearing, you know, goggles for a
VR experience as Lebron whips the ball to Ruy for
the shot for the game winner, Like it is a
ridiculous video component, but for Lebron. Yeah, it's the win
of all wins. All right, the street to go on,
but we got a w.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Amazing So yeah, look at Lebron, Lebron winning the day,
winning every one of the big You thought it was
going to be awkward, and now something.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Everything is great again.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Lakers still awkward as hell now Lakers holes comparison twenty
five games into a year.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Lakers.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Lakers have no problems. Man, look a look at their
wreck winning without their stars. It's the biggest mark of
a great team. And that's how good they are. Still
Oklahoma is is the best team for the Lakers. Second
best team, Lakers. Thunder Rolls tell how to find out
what's trending in the wide world of sports with someone
who's a big fan of the second best team in
Los Angeles. It's Clipper fan Monty Belongings.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
Yeh, I am a Clipper fan. You are so wrong
on your Lebron James take Jason, he did not win
the fans over In fact, Ian and I were talking
about his answer.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
He's like, who cares? We want or however he said it,
what do you want him to say? Of course we
should have taken.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
A shot steppad last week for it, so I know
you cared, and that's okay to care.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 10 (27:59):
You've had it in two thousand and seven, so stop
being fake and say, yeah, that was a long run.
It sucks that it's ended, but at least we won.
But he sounded like appalled that. The reporter asked, of
course he's going to play it up that way, but.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
He knew.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
He knew it was going to end at some point,
and it's ending in the best way possible.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
Say that, say what you just said, that's what. That's
not James, but that's what, and that's support. It's like,
don't don't pretend like you don't care, because we know
you do. And he was dismissing it like it wasn't
a big deal. And that's the problem with Lebron, the disingenu.
There's a disconnect with him. So whatever, whatever, he's not.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
He's not my team.
Speaker 10 (28:36):
He's not on my team, although my team does suck,
so I have really nothing to say.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Let's talk about the NFL. Say you got that one
game winning streets.
Speaker 10 (28:43):
That's why I bring his ball back.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (28:45):
The Lions defeated the Cowboys forty four to thirty to
kick off Week fourteen of the NFL. Jared got through
for three hundred and nine yards a touchdown. Dak Pres
got through for three hundred and seventy six yards one touchdown,
two interceptions, but it was Jamior Gibbs and I. He
had a hat trick three rushing touchdowns. He also had
seven catches for seventy seven yards. He has scored forty
seven career touchdowns and has tid Berry Sanders for the
(29:06):
most touchdowns in a player's first three NFL seasons.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
The Lakers walked it off.
Speaker 10 (29:10):
We discussed that seventy six ers survived ninety nine to
ninety eight against the Warriors on a tip shot from
rookie VJ. Edgecombe, who went in with ten points, but
it was Tyrese Maxey who had thirty five points. Timberwolves
outscored the Pelicans one, twenty five to one sixteen, Julius
Randall twenty eight points and nine rebounds. Celtics blew out
the Wizards won forty six to one oh one, and
the Jazz topped the Nets one twenty three to one
ten and Casey missed it. In college football, Kansas State
(29:32):
is hiring a familiar face, calling Klein to be their
new head of football coach. He was their quarterback in
twenty twelve and was a former assistant from twenty seventeen
to twenty twenty three. And in the NHL, I'll give
you a couple scores. Like the Islanders, they topped the
Avalanche six to three. The Blackhawks defeated the Kings two
to one, but Connor McDavid had a hat trick the
thirteenth of his career, and the Oilers outscored the Kraken
(29:53):
nine to four.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Man? How you doing, dude?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I don't know how you doing his greate as Jamier Gibbs,
I don't know. I don't know anybody's doing his good a.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Jamior Gibba, the Great Jamar Gizzess right now gives unbelievable
what a mismatch he is for everybody. You know, it's interesting. Also,
just you see this flying team. You know I was
talking about culture right, culture, culture, culture and the culture
of Dan Campbell brings fact they just won their fifteenth
game after a loss. That is unreal. Like, you know,
(31:23):
other teams know they lose and they start going downhill
and camble with that culture. He's like, hey man, we're
going to make sure we you talk about correcting your
mistakes and fixing your mistakes. There's nobody obviously does it
better for you to come back sixteen losses in a row,
will win the next time.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
That's unreal, And you know, and the thing is, it's
kind of apropos that he was at the game tonight
because I think Jamiir Gibs is probably the closest thing
we've seen to Barry Sanders in the last fifteen years.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
No, no, no, no, no, no, there's nothing like Barry Standers. Man.
I listen, I covered the NFL back Barry Sanders, and
I remember, actually was there's my one of my first
weeks of CBS. This I think it was my first
(32:12):
week of CBS when he retired, and I had that
The lines were like trying to take his money back
because my first scoops ever had for a national lyric.
But then, you know, covering Barry, I remember, you know,
being a giant practice and seeing all the years, the
different people that they would put in practice to play
Barry Sanders. And it's like and then they had all
(32:34):
these different drills for Barry. Sanders was like, hey, you know,
playing Detroit to speak, make sure there's four guys around
him and all that are like, hey, we're gonna have
you know, the quickest little receiver is gonna play Barry
Barry Sanders for the Scout. It was unbelievable. I remember
for I think it was Stray Ander told me he's
like one time he like Barry never talked to I
(32:55):
love Barry and I are great, like you know, we've
become good friends, you know, And it was, you know,
sits down a bunch of appearances. He's so humble. He's
like a humble warrior. I think it was straight ahead.
I'm pretty sure Michael wasn't you. I'm sorry, but he said, like,
you know, he's like that. There's like a highlight like
I got Barry kind of one I want to tackle him,
(33:16):
and I was again I got start talking smack and
Barry said I'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
That sounds about right.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
That's that's the guy that Barry Sanders response, Sorry, mister.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Sanders, Yeah, that was mister Sanders.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I'll be right back. I'm taking mister Sanders.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
The impressive part of this one.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Jay, they kept Jared Goff clean, did a lot of
talk about the Dallas defense and the rise up. Uh
they got humbled tonight forty four on them and and.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
The Clean Jersey Club for Jared Goff.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Yeah, I think you off to find do a great job.
By the way, Frank raight Now like, Wow, he's unbelievable
because you know he's gonna come back right and you know,
Frank Bracknow, he has a different like pain threshold than
the rest of the planet. So you know, he told
the lines like yeah, he's got this little hamstring twins.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
You know, I'm a.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Big and he calls a m ariot and it's a
complete hamstring tear, a grade three. And in his mind
he's like, that's just a little twinch. I'm good like yo,
little up. He just grabbed a little like it was
a complete grade three. Pear just goes to show you
the difference, you know, Frek Bracknow and everybody else, and
(34:39):
his credit too. I think he didn't want to uh
just sit there and take money and say I'm just
sit in and get paid to recover. He's a warrior.
But once that was off the table for them, they're like,
all right, we got to deal with the wool. Got here,
we got to come together. There is no there's nothing
else right, there's no cavalry, right, the cavalry has to
be in this room right here. And they definitely stepped up.
(35:00):
And what they did to that defensive front was really impressive.
I see that the defensive tackle rotation they are going there.
You know, they got all those d tackles. So people
like Jamior Gibbs can't do what they did tonight.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Now, Jay, for the Cowboys, they have been red hot offensively,
still the nice night offensively Tonight they lose c d Lamb,
you know, concussion protocol for him. How do you see
the next month for the Dallas Cowboys? Are they still
arrow up or they still Hey? The Cowboys? Still the Cowboys?
How do you see it after tonight?
Speaker 4 (35:28):
First of all, I think the Cowboys, look, cowboys have
been through a lot this year, all right, so we
have to look. They like to be the greatest reality
show in the league. They have that, right, but sometimes
it wears on you. I feel like tonight they kind
of caught up from me a little bit, right, And
they've been through a lot, And I said, they've been
through a lot, but well let's go back to we
the preseason. We've put allt Michael Parsons, right, so you
(35:50):
had all that, yeah, that you're dealing with, right, you
have the defense and obviously all the trades, but obviously
mars On Neeland and I think with mars On neland
the team end up coming together. I thought what they did,
with what Brian Stenheimer did and Dack and Solomon Thomas
and everybody in that locker room had I I really
think that, you know, they came together. You know, I
(36:11):
said it this weekend. It's only a couple of times
in life you really get to find out who you
truly are as people, and they did by coming together.
And they have and now this loss has nothing to
do with it. It's just how they responded the last
few weeks. But I you know, it's almost like tonight,
I just saw like a team at a little bit tired.
I just you know, I shouldn't say. Look, they played
(36:33):
on Thanksgiving, had an emotional you know game there, they
have an emotional a couple of weeks. It just seems
a little off to me tonight, and they have a
Detroit Lions team. Dan Campbell's back against the wall. I
think you're going to get everything thrown at you.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yeah, a couple of big plays by the defense tip
balls to and want to seal the win. Another thing
that the narratives and and everybody coming out of the woodwork,
including former players. Uh in Steeler Land with Mike Tomlin, Uh,
we're we're at that point in the season again for
him where everybody's now calling calling his head. Uh, you know,
(37:10):
how does he respond? You know, these final couple of
games here with the a little bit of a different
makeup for this offense and where the team is.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Look, they still got obviously the horses over there if
they want to do it. They're still in contention for
the title. But I just you know, it's to hear
everybody calling with the fire Tomlin chance, Like, Hey, this
guy's giving you, you know, two decades of no losing
seasons and you know, I'm fun through a lot of
things to continue building that culture over there that bought
(37:41):
me a little bit, but didn't bother him. No, Like
he's just like just Mike Tomlin is a like the
amount of times the thing bothers him over the years.
I mean I could probably count him on like one
and maybe three three fingers like he don't get to him.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
He's on to are at Jay Glazer, that is at
Jay Glazer. Jay as always, buddy, appreciate your time. Thanks
for stopping by tonight. We'll talk to you next week.
Have a great one, Appreciate it all right, there was
Jay Glazer. Sorry, mister sorry, mister s that's a good story.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
I'll be back. I'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Uh oh.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
I think we just upset Barry Sanders well because.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
They were never going away from the run. So you
know you were gonna see him soon. It's just a
matter of whether you were gonna be up to the task.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Sometimes it's on the same play Listen, We're gonna run
all the way over here, doesn't mean I'm not coming back.
All right, I'll see you in a second, because when
I run to this side and I realize I'm not
getting I'm gonna come all the way back around.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
It's okay.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Always makes me smile to see him as much as
he terrorized my beloved Chicago Bears all those years. I mean,
Barry Sanders is just a guy. I smile when I
see him up in that booth and have those memories
of man that's football growing up as Barry Sanders Sundays.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I think my favorite Barry Sanders quote was when you
know the Harlan Barnett play right the Patriots dB that
he turned around all those times running for the touchdown.
Like they did an interview with him and they were
looking like, right when it was going into the season,
he's going to break the record, and they talked about
Harlan Barny, the Harlan Barnett play and he goes who
and then the whoever was doing any of you said, oh,
(39:13):
you know remember the Patriots player when you went this way?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
And he just goes, oh that guy.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Well like me in a lot of times. I'm sure
it was just a number and who he had to
run through around and all of those Yeah, all those comparisons.
Jamior Gibbs now tied most touchdowns under twenty four. Great
tests coming up next, they got the Rams.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
There's probably the majority of players in the NFL. When
you think about who you're going up against defensively, you
think about players where they are on the field. I
don't think Batry Sanders ever thought once about where a
defensive player was going to be on the field.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Who I don't know, anybody. I don't ever about anybody,
maybe not even him. Exit out about a Fresco exit
swollen dome from Mike. I'm Jason coming up next to
my buddy Ben Mallar, Fox

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
