Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Greetings and welcome inside
the Jason Smith Show at Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports
Radio dot Com and I Heart Radio. The man on
my left my tag team partner, my best friend. And
I say this because he brought in donuts tonight that
I could bring home for my family. Oh I didn't

(00:21):
give anything for your family. Oh I eat them all.
They didn't even say hi to me. You're doubly my
best friend. I mean, they just dismissed me categorically. I said,
I call you called home, and they and Mike right
here nothing. Zoe was out of the show. She had
her robe on, and you know I didn't have to shear.
She would have had to back on the phone. No

(00:42):
she didn't. She went to you, you're a liar. She
waved to me to wave to you. Now you're making
stuff up. I felt not rejected, rejected, hey, and just
discarded and dismissed like I do just so many times
here and to air this publicly is just a bad thing.
How many times does she text you over the course
of a week where she shows herself licking her fingers

(01:03):
because she knows that gets under your skin. I'll let
you know she has never texted me such a thing.
I would not accept. Send this to Mike, Harmon, you're
not even looking at me cause I'm looking at my fingers.
I can't. I can't because psychologically it makes me want
to punch you in the face. Wow that Send this

(01:23):
to Mike. Maybe take this orange sharpie that I'm holding
here and Syracuse orange in the neck. You're escalated quickly,
feeling good, excited to be here in the Geico studios.
We got some baseball games going, got a high scrowing
affair between the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers. Already nine runs

(01:45):
scored and congo lines, I think, before it's all said
and down a couple of home runs, including one by
Yasi fireworks, no no hit her tonight. For rich Hill,
he's out of the game. It was over rather early
for rich Hill, he's gone. Ripling is already into this game.
But the offense got fixed. Yes, the day before Bellinger

(02:05):
gets back. But just going to Arizona all of a
sudden exercise all those demons. So the Dodgers down six
four to Arizona in the fifth inning. As they bat
t J it looks like the Hill too tough to
climb for rich Hill tonight, d J. There you go,

(02:26):
and Berman makes his way in very early tonight. A
lot of stuff to get to the NFL. We have
the latest on Ezekiel Elliott coming up in fifteen minutes.
Jerry Jones is still mad. He's so mad at the NFL.
He's mad at everybody. But when he talks, though, he
doesn't really sound mad like Jerry Jones. The guy think

(02:46):
he could be as mad as he ever was in
the world. He would sound exactly the same. Yeah, but
that's the guy you gotta worry about. The guy can
at least have a pressure valve released of some of
that emotion you know, you know it's dissipating and that
you know, full on crazy easiness may not follow. Whereas
if he's calm, cool, collected, I kill you in your sleep. Now,
put a pitchfork between your eyes, Harmon, no love uh

(03:09):
snack on your calves. I wouldn't even I wouldn't. I
would just charge the meat like they do in one
of them sushi restaurant. Now you've elevated him to Hannibal Elector.
You just get one of those torches, it comes out
and they just kind of sear the meat on the outside,
and it's just like like like you get that Kobe
beef and or that ah he tuna that's so popular,
and I just like, you know, stab your muscles with

(03:30):
it and sear it, and I would just start eating it.
And I would then have calves like you, uh, you know,
as old as I am, and I would take you
say you are what you eat. I would I would
drink all your blood too. So Uh, I am a unicorn.
I am unique and magical in so many ways. Uh.
The show is three minutes ald. We already talked about
Jerry Jones drinking blood to survive, like he's like he's

(03:52):
up in Sorcerer's stuff drinking the unicorns blood in the forest.
Sorry spoiler that miss unicorn that's not unicorn. Doesn't sound
like that. Unicorns don't make noises out, doesn't doesn't taste
like horse meat. No, I don't know a unicorn tastes
like chocolate. I mean other things they say taste like chicken.
Does unicorn taste like horse? I think eight seven sex?

(04:15):
And how about a Frescott Twitter. I think a unicorn
tastes like buttercream frosting. Do you just scoop it and
eat all this unicorn, and the unicorn regrows itself right away.
I'm fine if they regenerate. Where are they? The unicorn
horn is is like one of those long, big lollipops
you get, not horse meat. Come on, it's a unicorn.

(04:38):
Maybe it's just doctored up horse. But speaking of a unicorn,
always said unicorn. Phil Jackson's gonna wake up. Yeah, that
that happens, speaking of a unicorn. Uh, Phil, I know,
I know, Phil, I know. No, we're talking. No, Phil,
we're talking about baseball. Going back to I think you
woke up because there's so much penetration and kick out.

(04:59):
I okay, Phil, Sleep, Phil sleep, speaking of a unicorn.
It's not often a guy HiT's eighteen home runs in
the month of August. The last time it was done
Rudy York of the Giants in nineteen thirty seven and
York Peppermint pattying his way to an eighteen home run month.

(05:23):
Rudy York in eighteen home runs in August. There are
still a couple of days left and guests who also
has eighteen home runs this month? Yeah, for a special
moment day. This is the kind of month Tim Tebow

(05:47):
was having although yeah, no, I I know, very excited.
The batting average for Tim Tebow. Oh, by the way,
is um uh down a bit, just a little bitte
from the high of three twenty, which it was earlier
this year at Port St. Lucy. It is, Yeah, it
is now debt down to uh about nineteen. It's down

(06:08):
a bit, so I still to nineteen. He's he's still
better than a lot of major league hitters. I think
he's hitting higher than Curtis Granderson maybe. But the eighteenth
time run of the month for a guy who now
has fifty one on the season. Stanton swings, he drives
a ball high in deep. This is a no doubter

(06:30):
again for Stanton. It is up, up and away and
number fifty one and r B I number one oh nine.
Stanton's done it again and it didn't take long tonight
the Macarena for Stanton, all right, I'm in. It's a
stating a minute hit, a home run and a home

(06:51):
run in another opportunity slapped the quads make him scream
there's a lion that is right. There's a lot going
on in that song for greatness. Little wiggle of the
hips gets coming in Denny's gonna try to trade me
for teams want me, but they don't want my contract,

(07:12):
and they say they cannot trade me. I'll keepitting home runs,
so I okay the macarena, but SAME's arbitrary, But that's okay.
There might be a bad story I haven't found yet.
If you have one, lets, it's whatever was up next
in tight shirts iPod you know that that that's what
it was. He celebrates their entire that's part of a

(07:33):
workout though. I mean right, there's enough moves to that.
And then if you do that as part of your
normal workpwn hey ui. He might be Chris Bratton Guardians
of the Galaxy. You don't know who got Chocko? Who
got who go? Who got chockot? So fifty nineteen seventy three,

(07:53):
that song belongs to me. Fifty one home runs now
for Jim Carlos Stanton, who said he considers sixty one
to be the all time record, considering the p E
D past of Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds, who
have bested the mark of sixty one. Here's the thing,

(08:14):
and we talked about this when he was in the
middle of his hot streak earlier this month. The best
thing to do right now, like me, Pretend it's nine
and Stanton is making the run at Roger Marrison. You
had a lot of hair. Intend It's not I had
a lot of hair in ninety six. I was in
my mid twenties. You know, I was in the best
shape of my life. I was playing softball and hockey.

(08:35):
The kid was I mean, I was whoa back in.
But I'm gonna pretend it's that it's the year before
McGuire and Sosa and Jerry McGuire had just come out
Friends is in the midst of it's heyday, and the
young Dane Cook taught us all how to laugh. Pretend
it's nineteen six, and you are gonna have a great

(08:56):
time following Ken Stanton break the home run record held
by Roger Marris. Because I got news for you. He
will be the people's champion. This will be a story
we we you know, we mentioned this first couple of
weeks ago. As September heats up, and you know, look,
the NFL season starts, obviously that's gonna be front and center.
But anytime there's a couple of big baseball topics outside

(09:17):
of the Pennant race, and when you're getting down to
the final few days and who's gonna make the playoffs
and who isn't we always have time for individual marks.
What's coming up? What are people approaching? The fake chase
for sixty one by Stanton will be front and center
and more and more, the momentum will build that he
will be viewed as as the people's champion. Who will

(09:38):
fans say he's the guy that really owns the home
run record? Is Stanton now, especially if he doesn't hundred
fifty four games? You know, he does it because any
he gets past Ruth before because you know Marrieth took
an extra few games and and there was a bunch
of things there. But especially he does it before one
fifty four, which is Ruth's original record of sixty. So
that could happen too. I mean, they don't forget he
could do that for Ruth. So he would be the

(10:00):
home he would be the people's champion. They would think,
John Carlos Stanton, he's my home run champion. You know,
we like to say that now, you know, is he
my president? He's not my president? Is he my home
run champion? Is he not my home run champion. He's
my home run champion. It will be a very big
deal getting down the stretch and you're gonna see topics.
We talk about this, it's gonna be a big thing
that cuts through. Trust me, this will be a big thing.

(10:22):
Well like the fact that you've got debates and we
go back and obviously ninety eight was the year that
everything went hey wire. I was out at Cooperstown and
they had the big board of at the time, Ken
Griffy was still in the middle of the battle between
Soasa McGuire so at All three and they would cut
to their at bats as you're in the vestibule there
at the Hall of Fame. So good stuff. Seven. I

(10:44):
think we could put some hair back on your head
and and and make you feel all good about you know,
the mid nineties and the musical happenings. I always feel
good about the mid nineties. I mean, the Mets stunk,
the Jets got good at the end, but I like
the mid Night Yeah. So, but I uch frasier when
a cerebral there. But as you as you look at
Stanton and we we have the countdown of the the

(11:07):
next ten as we get closer and people will get
excited about it. It's it's rare that you have a
guy having this type of season and these type of
historic moments where we're also talking. There might be multiple
trade partners sitting out, so there's a lot of uncertainty
which you normally don't have. So that's a good backstory
of here's a guy dominating and may set a mark
that some will consider the fact that Bonds is inching

(11:31):
ever closer to the Hall of Fame pushes that back
a bit right because a they didn't take that out
of the record book. Three still sitting there, but too
if Bonds gets into the Hall of Fame, well it
washes away that that talk altogether. But for now, people
would be excited to have a milestone to get after
and to have these debates, and it'll make for good

(11:51):
hot takes on radio and television, Twitter at how about

(12:15):

(12:40):
news for thirty one NFL teams chasing the Patriots coming
up in ten minutes. Thirty one teams. I have good
news for everybody's desponding after the whole Tom Brady cover
of Sports Illustrated, which players from all the teams are
hanging onto him and Lashawn McCoy is hanging out of
the towel that's hang and over his maleness. Tom Brady

(13:01):
has never been hot. It was a very Thomas exchange
between the Cleveland Browns and Mr Thomas. I thought, but
I congratulations on your cover. Hey, we made it. The
Jets are on the convert Sports. But no, I have
good news for thirty one teams not named the Patriots

(13:23):
coming up in ten minutes. But it's a fantastic thing.
That's a tease here in the GUIC Studios. A story
that is now going to stretch into Wednesday and Thursday,
UH is the appeal of Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys running back,
trying to get his suspension reduced from six games, which
was levied by the NFL a few weeks ago for

(13:45):
his failure to adhere to the personal conduct policy. Is
accused of five or six separate domestic violence accusations over
a five night period last July. Also in this past
off season, Elliott has gotten in hot water for pulling
a woman's top down at a parade and getting involved
in a bar fight in which a DJ suffered a
broken nose. Jerry Jones when this discipline was levied, was mad.

(14:11):
He was mad. He was mad, He was mad. Didn't
like it, didn't like it. Didn't feel that this is
a suspension that Elliott was warranted. And now Elliott is
trying to lessen this suspension. Gonna go another couple of
days until we get the solution for it, and Jerry
Jones today talked about why he felt that this suspension

(14:31):
should be reduced. He was on one oh five three
of the Fan in Dallas earlier today oh, we'll get
Jerry Jones in a second, though he had it ready. Um,
the first thing I want to say about Elliott is this,
before you get to Jerry Jones, is I understand the
desire for jurisprudence. I get. I get you want to

(14:53):
go and you want to appeal and drag this out
and try to play Week one in the NFL. And
there's whispers that maybe he might be able to do
that because the if he fails here, he's gonna keep
going higher and higher, basically what Tom Brady did. But
in seeing that, realize that you're not going to win. Brady.
What Brady fought it everywhere, every way possible, the pay

(15:18):
and they delayed it for a year. But eventually what
happened Tom Brady got spending for the first four games
of the NFL season. The suspension he got was a
suspension he served, and no matter what you had to
get to there, they're not going to reduce this suspension.
This is a domestic violent situation. The NFL is realized,
we can't come down soft on this, and if anything
is reduced, everybody's gonna go crazy because it's gonna be

(15:40):
boy Brady gets the same thing for deflating footballs that
Elliott gets when he's accused of many instances of domestic violence.
They're trying to discredit his accuser. You're not going to win.
You can continue to appeal all the way, the NFL
is gonna stick to this, and you're gonna wind up
serving the six games. This is why I say you
should accept the suspension because you're not going to win

(16:03):
no matter what. You're not going to win. And now
at least you can serve the suspension and your team
is prepared for it because you have another week to
get ready. You know what's gonna happen. Elliott can sit
whereas you don't know when things are gonna run out.
What if your appeal runs out and it's turned down
and it's week twelve, guess what is he You're got
out for the next six weeks, which is four weeks

(16:24):
of the regular season, and if you make the playoffs,
it's the playoffs or it rolls over in the next year.
You don't know when that's gonna happen. When the NFL
is gonna say, okay, now your suspension begins, you know
when it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. Now, if I
thought there was a way you could do it and
you could win your case, but the NFL came, there's
no way they'll let you. They'll let you drag this out.
But eventually you're gonna sit those six games. It may

(16:47):
not be now, you may be able to play now
for the first six a game, maybe this whole season,
and maybe it's but eventually you're gonna have to sit
those six games when you go through the process, and
obviously you have h Mr Henderson, Harold Henderson is going
to be the designated arbitrator. We saw him preside over
the Greg Hardy case. Remember that went from a ten
game suspension to four. Now, I know there are rules

(17:08):
in place in terms of the domestic violence charges and
the allegations at hand, which in the c b A
have been have been put to the six games. But
as we know, we see appeals and we see reductions
of games, whether one to whatever the case may be.
In this particular case, now you're talking about potentially getting
into the court system and not really having a handle

(17:31):
as to when the case would be held. That's one
of the variables, and like the wild cards of this
entire process, you can get it pushed. So you start
the season and you start playing and your roll, and
then all of a sudden, what week ten, week eleven,
Cowboys are setting up for the playoff run, maybe a
push all the way into Minnesota and the super Bowl

(17:52):
and then hey, you we'll see on Friday, and all
of a sudden, we're we're in that quandary and the cowboy, uh,
Cowboys are in that quadry of suddenly, maybe he's gone
for the six games after that gets held there. So
the you're you're playing a little bit of poker in
terms of trying to determine exactly when you serve, because

(18:12):
it's not gonna get dismissed altogether. Right, everybody that has
made the argument of well he didn't get charged, that
doesn't matter. That's the one thing we have to remember
in this entire process. Criminal case is a whole different
thing from the court and the judge, jury, executioner, and
appeals process that is owned by Roger Goodell. And so

(18:33):
for Ezekiel Elliott, this will go through another day, maybe
two more days. September two was the target date in
terms of starting the suspension, So that will probably get
delayed and pushed out, and so the Cowboys continue to
have Elliott practice as though he's running with the first
team and we'll be ready for opening Day, which may
be fool's goal. As much as you've seen from McFadden

(18:56):
and Alfred Morris that's suddenly trying to say that they
equate to what Ezekiel Elliott means to this team is
just absolutely asinine. So that's a whole other line of
discourse that has just been disingenuous and hot take nonsense
over the last twenty four hours. The Jason Smith showed
Jason Mike Carmen live from the Geico studios. Right now,
we got Jerry Jones ready. This is him talking about

(19:19):
why he's upset he's not attending the appeal. He's very
angry that Elliott is actually having to go through this
whole suspension to begin with. This is him from earlier today. Unfortunately,
you get confused in this conversation. Every person that has
any things at all understands domestic violence and bores it
and what we're trying to be relative to addressing it

(19:43):
in the league has all kinds of issues, and it should.
It's a very complicated issue because if you have no
evidence here. Okay, now there's your money. Statement from Jerry Jones,
who has enabled bad behavior on his team for years.
He has enabled players don't respect him, and if players

(20:03):
respected him that, hey, you have to kind of abide
by the law, Well, then you wouldn't have instances where
players feel I can go out and misbehave because Jerry
Jones is gonna suspend me because I'm too good or
I'm a cowboy. He's not gonna do it. What did
Jerry Jones say at the end right there? He didn't say,
this is confusing this conversation. We we abhor domestic violence.
But Ezekiel Elliott is innocent. He didn't say that. He

(20:26):
says there's no evidence here. That's a difference between he
didn't do it and there's no evidence. There's a lot
and and look and obviously the NFL felt they had
a lot of evidence. The d A felt they had evidence.
It wasn't enough to bring charges. There wasn't enough in Milleneville,
Georgia for Ben Roethlisberger, but you knew there was something there.
Now to hear him say there's not enough evidence rather

(20:49):
than he's innocent, that tells me all I need to know. Oh,
there's no evidence, so you can come and play football
again and again not court of law. And we've talked
about this at length with Jerry Jones at this point,
in trying to and perhaps looking at the field last
year and seeing Dez Bryant and seeing Ezekiel Elliott and
seeing Dak Prescott emerged having flashbacks to what it felt

(21:11):
like all those years ago with the triplets and getting
on that run with Aikman Smith and Irvin that perhaps
he was gonna get one more chance to see greatness
in in this team and there was no way anything
was gonna get in the way of that potential run.
And this is why you've seen over the last couple
of years. And let's face it, for a lot of years,
the NFL did nothing right. The Tagliabu Eira and he

(21:34):
and as Roger Goodell took over, you saw the shift
and then trying to get all the policies, procedures and
and machine in place by which to go through these
cases and still imperfect right, because no, there's no cookie cutter.
This is not the same case each and every time.
Something that gets lost on a lot of people. As
we discussed these type of things. But for Jerry Jones,
there's the risk reward and you certainly saw it with

(21:57):
Hardy and you've certainly seen it in a number of
other instances. Is where when you're talking about potential greatness,
you you go on the side of I'll take the
w's and let the chips fall where they may. And
that's what we're seeing right here again with the comments
we just heard twitter at how about a fresca just
want to hear himself, there's no evidence. It's so slimy,
it's it's it's just I feel like you need a

(22:18):
shower after hearing that. No, there's no evidence, But is
he innocent? I didn't say that, just said there's no evidence.
I I need a shower. I have no evidence here
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
six six three six nine, the Jason Smith showed Jason
Mike Harmon coming up in a minute. Good news for
thirty one teams not named the Patriots. But first, let's

(22:39):
get all the latest from som Looney. Cleveland Clavilliers general
manager Lebron James is gonna beat with Dwayne Wade in
l A for dinner. Safe to assume the Lebron James
and Dwyane Wade won't be talking about how the universe began,
or architecture or books. Will we soon see Dwayne Wade
in the Cleveland Cavalier uniform. Developing hot dot dot dot.

(23:01):
A developing situation right now at the US Open of
Tennis and American Francis Tiafo or some would say Tiafo
has taken the third rank tennis player in the world
to five sets. That's the worst thing for you right now, Tom,
Only here's a guy's heard of that could be a

(23:22):
big headline. That's how you just played the never heard
of him. He's gonna lose next round. That's what you
have to predict, you. Roger Federer and Francis Tiafo are
now in the fifth set, Feders leading four games to one.
Now and how bad did some people want to see
a boxing champion fight a UFC champion? Well, some guy

(23:42):
in Oregon order the Mayweather McGregor fight and on showtime
app and there was a technical issue and now he's
suing for emotional damage and buried in all the chaos. Guys.
The summer between various NBA soap operas and Mayweather McGrath.
The Andrew look disappearance in Indianapolis, Indiana Colts Chuck coach

(24:06):
coach Chuck Pogano says he hasn't seen Andrew Luck throw
a pass all summer doors. How's he look? I'm never
there to see, so I couldn't tell you literally you've
not seen Andrew throw the ball. No, we're in meetings
and doing such. So based on how incredible that is
to believe, I don't believe that. I mean, you're titled
to whatever you want to believe. That's it for now, guys,

(24:30):
Thank you, Mr Looney, appreciate it. I'll tell you what,
Chuck Pagano, it's tough tough time right now in Indianapolis
when you're talking about Burt Jones being your starting cornerball
new GM long before my time. But I do know
my NFL history what you did do that long before
your time? Yeah, Bert, do you remember Burt Jones, the
first Colts quarterback every I don't even remember the Colts

(24:52):
being in Baltimore, So I'm you know you have. I'm
one of the millennials over here. Who's this Miami Marlins?
I remember when they played an Florida exactly exactly. But
see that's why he throws in those cag historical references
for folks that might be of a certain age. Just
just say hey, I know you're out there. Not that
I'm one of you, but I know you're out there.

(25:13):
I love that. Burt Jones and underrated quarterback throughout the years.
He was tough. Burt Jones. He was tough. I like
Burt Jones to finish with the Rams. I believe Burt Jones. Well, yeah,
always in the end the great Quarterbay owners have to
shove somebody off to remind him who's boss. Something. You're
gonna finish an Anaheim. Oh boy, that's not gonna be Patrick,
You and you're gonna finish in Seattle. Get out of here. Thanks,

(25:35):
Mr Lonnie. We'll talk to you soon, buddy. Uh. News
in the NFL today, I have good news for thirty
one teams. Okay, this is this is more of the
law of averages than it is anything else. Remember when
every everybody, well as to remember, because it happens every day.
Everybody jumps up and down in the Jets and how

(25:57):
bad they're gonna be. They're gonna be the worst team
in the NFL. Vegas is gonna lose a lot of
money because teams just bet against the Jets every week
because it's gonna be so historically bad. But on the
positive side, Buddy Misery loves company. The over underwind totals
for the NBA came out and the Bulls are catastrophic
and bad in terms of overall projections. So we've got
you know, we've got company. You're projected to win six games.

(26:20):
I think that's about six and a half. So but
it was so much and you know, and I said,
here's the one thing I cleaned to as a Jets fan.
Usually when something that overwhelming, that is believed by everybody
is expected to happen, it doesn't because number one, Vegas
is not in the business to lose money, and number two,
it never works out that way. Sports is very unpredictable,

(26:42):
not saying the Jets are gonna go fifteen and one,
but will they go five and eleven and screw their
shot up at darn Older Allen Probably, and they'll wind
up with Hackenburg next season. So that's good news for
the other thirty one teams. The New Sports Illustrated on
newsstands today Tom Brady talking about and and they illust
rate the Patriots problem. You know that everybody else in

(27:02):
the NFL is light years behind the Patriots. How are
they going to lose? It's a giant tom Brady and
little tiny baby other NFL stars clinging to Tom Brady
like he's some kind of Gulliver. And it can be
daunting when you think about that, because what did the
Pages do in the off season? They got better, They
added guys, added number one wide. You're still expecting there

(27:23):
to see It just makes no difference, doesn't different players passes?
He can bring a big knife is absolutely and Paul
Hogan with the lateral to Linda Koslowski at that Now
we're going deep. So everybody thinks the Patriots are going

(27:45):
to just roll through everybody, get to the Super Bowl
and win, because look, they've gotten better, they've won it
last year. All these things are happening for the moment.
That doesn't always happen. What we think, having a very
boring NFL season, the Patriots are great and they're gonna
beat everybody. Every sign points to it. It doesn't always happen.

(28:08):
Tom Brady can get old in a game. We saw
it for a half in the Super Bowl it can
they get a great job Beasley young aggressive front for
the Falcons, and then they forgot how to stay after
Tom Brady. They failed miserably to keep the foot down,

(28:34):
and all of a sudden, the great comeback occurs. But
things fall apart fast. It could be a team realizes
how to best defend Brady now the forty year old
Tom Brady, and they give you a blueprint week two
or week three of the season, and suddenly now it's
a lot more difficult, and Brady spends a lot more
time yelling at his teammates, which is what he does
when things don't go his way to make it look
like it's not my fault. I'm yelling at you because

(28:55):
it's your fault. The same media, yourself included, that was
after Brady in that regard, are the same guys that
then yell at Jay Cutler because he doesn't yell at
enough people. So I wish you all would figure out
what the hell you you mock? Come on, we love
smoking Jay Cutler. I thought Ja Culer was gonna be

(29:16):
on the Jets this year. I thought that was gonna
happen because I got taken an old Sanchez jersey and
slapped a Cutler name played on it. How many people
are gonna lose? Are are gonna bet in Vegas and
bet on the Patriots heavy every single week to win?
They're not in the business to lose that kind of money.
That's why the odds were so heavy on Mayweather McGregor

(29:37):
that you knew this was gonna be something. Vegas knew
what they're doing, and the same thing. There's no there's
gonna be no inherent advantage where it just I'm gonna
roll up and bet this team every single week and
I'm gonna make millions and millions of dollars. Sometimes it
just doesn't work out when everybody thinks one thing is
going to happen, because sports is that unpredictable, it doesn't. Now,

(29:58):
Patricos still be great, They could still be great. They
can still be the same team we saw and they
can start winning games forty five nothing and we're saying,
are they gonna go undefeated? Is this the best NFL
team of all time? But things can also fall apart quickly.
Bronkowski could get hurt, Brady could get hurt, Brady could
get old. Many things can happen. Don't put away suddenly,
this is gonna be a very predictable NFL season because

(30:20):
it doesn't always happen. How you think, Well, it's the
best drama that we have real, live and in living
color every week, four or five different nights a week.
Now the way to bring it to us and you
get to see them all here and the Guy goes
three of those nights of the Jaguars. But we have
to worry. I don't think I'm hopeful. Twitter At, how

the NBA. There has never been any piece of apparel
manufactured that has made me want to eat it, but
that changed today. That's a tease. Fox Deep Cuts coming

(32:14):
for everyone. Stadium, Jack Rock Later Radio, That Jason Smith Show,
Jason Mike Harmon live from the Getic Studios. Great news.
You want to save money, go to Geico dot com
and in fifteen minutes you could say fifteen cent or
more at Carde Shorts. Yeah, you can go to Deep
Tracks or you go to Channel Lady three. Listen to
us on satellite series Sex m You can hear US

(32:36):
channel eighty three every single night. Number one. I'm stunned
that the topic we did last night for most of
the show, which was gangbusters for us today digitally, I
couldn't get past at my timeline talking about Matthew Stafford
being the fifteen fifteen quarterbacks in the NFL better than
Matthew Stafford all day long. It's like the topic is continued,

(32:58):
made you a lot of friends, and still to night
it's rolling through. I can't believe the number of people
in my timeline. And this is a case where I
just say, check my timeline. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Not one of those guys that go you know, a
lot of people have been asking so I want to
say this, No, I checked your timeline. No one's been
asking you at all about this. No, just check my timeline.
And some nice words of people have for me. The
number of people trying to prop up Matthew Stafford as

(33:21):
an elite quarterback in the NFL. This is a guy
who's had two good seasons. He had one great season
and he had one other good one. He he's a
volume quarterback. He throws a lot of passes, so he
throws for a lot of yards, but bottom line is
they don't win a lot of games. Still hasn't won
a playoff game, despite the fact that he had Calvin
Johnson the best receiver in the NFL for a long time.

(33:44):
I I don't get it. I'm not saying Matthew Stafford stinks.
I didn't say he didn't deserve the money, because quarterbacks
all get paid. Yeah, that's that's the biggest thing. Anybody
that was on radio talking about he doesn't deserve it.
I didn't know. I quarterbacks get paid. Look, I know
reality more than many other most other people do. This
is what happens. Quarterbacks get paid. The money always goes up.

(34:07):
But that Stafford is elite. Come on, I get I
got people in my timeline saying one, I'll give you
that he's better than Ben Roethlisberger, but not Russell Wilson,
And the next person says he's definitely better than Russell Wilson.
I'm like, are you kidding me? It's won a Super Bowl.
You should have won another one if they just ran
the football in Really he's really you're taking Stafford over
these guys. I mean, maybe these are just people that

(34:29):
won fantasy championships five years ago with Matthew Stafford and
like have had a thing for him since then because
he's always the popular number two quarterback to having fantasy. Well,
my quarterback is Jamis, but I got Stafford justin Kay's like,
oh yeah, football is not fantasy. And Stafford hasn't even
been great in fantasy. So I maybe maybe it's a
forty one touchdown season people have fond memories of him.

(34:51):
Maybe that's what the magical thing. And you see the
what sixth straight with at least four thousand passing yards,
which is at this point nothing right, This is the
the idea that you're at. Remember Trevor Simeon had thirty
last year and was considered a nonentity for most and
I mean that's a that's a lot of yards, didn't

(35:13):
play the entire season and was categorically dismissed. So with
Matthew Stafford, you go through the career leaders of receiving
yards for the Detroit Lions. You're looking at Calvin Johns.
Johnson obviously, but the next leader in terms of big
time weapons that he's had golden tape, sitting at thirteen.
And then you go to Brandon Pettigrew. We talked about

(35:33):
him a little bit on this show last night. Ate
Burleson's all the way down to like thirty second in
terms of all time lions. He was there four years,
average about five hundred yards a years, so there's not
the Gangbusters there. Bill Brandt had a stat up earlier
that said, over the last seven years they've had eight

(35:53):
yard rushing efforts. Think about that eight and Ezekiel et
him more than that last year with you wrote seven
times and going to happen, And then I'd have to
go back and look at all the defensive rankings just
figure out exactly where they stood on a year. To
your base so down to nothing, you're not gonna run
the football. Back to the matter is that he puts
them in holes against better teams and then you play chase.

(36:17):
It's kind of like the argument we've had with Andrew Luck,
who's still not throwing Chuck Pogano has not seen him
do so, etcetera. But for Matthew Stafford putting him right
in that meaty part of the curve, right, what's he's
five and forty four against teams with winning records. I mean,
come on, you you win a few more of those games.
If you're really elite, he's middle. He's middle of the past.
My favorite if and here's the top twelve guys that

(36:42):
are elite and his people throughout on Twitter today. If
the quarterbacks in the NFL were Monopoly border, We're gonna
do something with this coming up next week, he would
definitely be before the free parking space. He wouldn't be
after free parking. He would be before free We're gonna
figure that out. We're gonna build to be like Tennessee.
It's gonna be the Smith and Harmon big board, but

(37:03):
it's legitimately gonna be just a big board finess. I've
never seen a piece of apparel, whether it's a shirt
or hat or shoe, that's made me hungry and want
to eat it. That's changed today. The world changed me
today with the release of Kevin Durant's red velvet Ka

(37:24):
d X shoe. Now, if you remember when Kevin Durant
announced he was signing with the Golden State Warriors over
fourth of July a year ago, Russell Westbrook sent out
a picture with a bunch of cupcakes on it, saying
Happy Fourth of July. The undertone to this was that's
what Katie's former teammate Kendrick Perkins used to call people
who were soft, they were cupcakes. So there's a shot

(37:45):
at Durant. Now this has stayed with him, so now
he has decided to make his new shoe the red
velvet Ka d X shoe. I'm not a red velvet
cupcake fan, because late it's just not a red velvet fan.
I'll tell this you this right away, But this shoe,
I'm just picturing the red like it's red velvet, and

(38:05):
the laces on it like it's like it's licorice, and
I just want to take a bite into it. I
mean really, it makes me want to eat it. That's
how much I like the sneak. Well, as we sit
here in the Geico studios, we've been known to maybe
throw up a camera and record the shenanigans and the
goings on here. Perhaps we procure a pair of these
shoes and bring you a knife in a four. Oh,

(38:27):
I'd like to try to eat it. I mean it
looks like it really, it looks like something I want
to eat. And then the white on the bottom is
like the frosting. I mean, look and I'm a chocolate guy.
I want chocolate through. There's no there's very few desserts
I like that are in chocolate all the way top
to bottom. But this looks like a shoe I want
to eat. It just looks that good. And so it's
a good looking shoe. Every usually, new sneakers come out

(38:48):
and they look horrible, and we'll tell you the truth
about them, not just blankantly go oh it's a new shoe.
Oh it sucks. This shoe sucks about We'll tell you
when the shoe is good. This is a good looking shoe.
It also makes me want to eat it. Releasing on
September one, price a hundred fifty. Well, it's not five no,
and it's not it's not eight months from now, and
it's not wet. So they announced the shoe today and

(39:09):
it actually comes out in three days. Uh. Hey, that's
a long lead, man. That's that's what you call a
you're not crowdsourcing. But but I can't announce the shoe
and haven't come out in a day. Yeah, but that's
when you've got your business operations and everything together. Here,
when you're an upstart and you're just trying to get
things together that's when you're you're looking to be the float.

(39:30):
I want you to give me five hundred dollars so
I can get my operation together and get my distribution
line and shipping lines and everything streamline. And it's your money,
not mine. That's how you build empires with somebody else's money.
At this point, I think LaVar is in his garage
at night, making the shoes for five hours a night,
trying to fulfill these four orders. LaVar Ball is the cobbler.

(39:54):
Forget about that Sandler movie. Twitter at out about a
Fresca eight seven seven on Fox That Jason Smith Show.
I mean that this shoe was so good I just
want to eat it. We'll get back to the big
story in Major League Baseball and a great update courtesy
of J. J. Watt Fox Our two of the Program

(40:14):
That Jason Smith Show Jason and my bass friend Mike
harm and live from the Geico Studios where fifteen minutes
can save you fifteen per cent and more on car insurance.
For more info, visit Geico dot com. We'll get to
the big dong of the night. Excuse me, I realized

(40:35):
what was saying? He's got a major league dang. Don't
realize that was as I was saying it, He's cutting
the tape down my shirt. I haven't seen him move
that fast in my life. Are you sure you're not
the flash? I I really when I said that, I was.
That's gonna live forever. Two three, and so now we'll

(41:01):
get to the the big story of the night, and
one that will make you happy. It will make everybody
happy because you're gonna get to be younger and experience
the past. That's that's what you call a tease. But
so far, Mike Harmen, I believe we have had an
effect on the world as we know it. It was
last night on the show, we challenged offered that one

(41:26):
of the best ways to help all the victims of
Hurricane Harvey, which is still raging in Houston. It's gonna
make its second landfall in just a few hours. There's
thousands of people in shelters, there is a curfew midnight
Central right now in Houston, and everybody is trying to
raise money to help the victims. There's flooding. It's gonna
take years and and and in the into the hundreds

(41:48):
of millions of dollars to try to fix the damage
that Harvey has done. Eighteen people are confirmed dead from
this horrible hurricane. And I challenged and and said, listen,
I know I'm spending other people's money, But if the
owners in the NFL, major League Baseball, in the NBA,

(42:09):
all leagues that have teams that play in Houston, if
they would all donate a million dollars apiece, it's nothing
for them. Their owners they're multi multi multibillionaires. A million
dollars is something that you know, they throw around at breakfast.
This would put the Hurricane Harvey relief situation at a

(42:30):
hundred million before you even start any other kind of fundraising.
And what did we see today? More people came to
the aid, More owners are donating money, and they're donating
in the millions of dollars we saw earlier today Titans
owners gave a million dollars less Alexander bumped his up

(42:51):
to ten millions. Owner of the Rockets. Where's James Harden?
James Harden swag? Where are you James? James just got
five million dollars? James? Are you? James? Did he do
any movies with Kevin? Does that seem to be effective?
Just Kevin Hart called out everybody ever worked with maybe
and like that that after you got through that eighty
four minute message, because he worked with a lot of people,

(43:11):
he did, a lot of those stars stepped up and
then they started rolling on and you had that snowball
effect where each one then did a video and all
of their followers, all of their fans started donating, And
the trickle down effect has just been immense. It's been
just an awesome thing to watch people getting together and
and you know, reminding you how good people are inherently.

(43:35):
Sandra Bullock I just saw donated a million dollars to
the cause in in in Houston. Many celebrities, people who
grew up there are doing it, even the Kardashians. You
gave a half a million dollars. James Hardware? Are you
James Swag? I'll go spend all my money this trip club. James. Hey, hey,
big down of the night. That's never gonna leave. Oh

(43:59):
that is that's that's never gonna leave. That's oh because
I said strip club and that's why you played it.
I see what you did there, Alex, very very very nice,
very nice. Sorry, James. So this is now happening, and
maybe the best story out of all of this out
of all of the fundraising and look to see people
that have money open their pockets. It's fantastic. J. J.

(44:23):
Watt initially announced his fundraising Kickstarter campaign. Wanted to raise
half a million dollars for Hurricane Harvey relief. Wanted all
the money made from the Texans preseason game Week four
to go to hurricane relief. You're seeing money from the
Astros Rangers series this week go to hurricane relief. He

(44:44):
wanted five hundred thousand dollars. Chris Paul gave him fifty grand.
Chris Paul has never played a minute in Houston. Gave
fifty grand to his new home to say here put
him over five grand. J J. Watt said. Then next said,
my goal was a million dollars. It was last night
on the show. We chronicled how close he was. He
got to nine hundred fifty five thousand dollars. Then he

(45:06):
got to a million, and it was awesome. We played
his sound bite last night. J J. Watts so thankful
for everybody who was coming to his aid, and he said,
my new goal is now one point five million, right,
that was last night at eleven o'clock our time. Well,
and then we got up and we were doing the
show on a M five seventy l a sports here
in Los Angeles. You'll be on tomorrow, Eric Dickerson and

(45:29):
tarall Owens sitting in with you. Uh takes two Hall
of famers to replace me. But the effect of the
matter is at that point they were just now then
crossing the one point five million dollar mark. That was
very early this morning. And then well all things all
hell broke loose in terms of people reaching deep into
their wallets, the Jets also donating a million dollars. Got

(45:52):
to get the Jets in. Well, they're doing, they're doing.
They're don't eet a million dollars a food. Rely. I
think we're having an impact here. We said it last night,
all the owners and all the sports you don't a
million dollars. And now you're seeing many teams here's a million,
here's a million, here's a million. But the best story
clearly is J. J. Watt because after he got to
one million dollars and it's on you caring dot com

(46:14):
if you want to donate for J. J. Watt, you
caring dot com, he very soon hit one point five
million earlier today. He said his new goal was two million.
He got the two million, he said, you know what,
it walked past. My goal now is three million. He
hit three million. That was like a turnstyle, like so

(46:35):
many offensive linemen that he obliterates. He's now over four
million and now says the new goal is five million dollars.
And guess where he's at right now. As we sit here,
forty seven thousand, eight hundred seventeen donors have collectively pieced
together four point eight seven million dollars. He may get

(46:57):
to five million dollars by tonight, by the end of
the show, and then he's gonna say five point five
million or six million and seven million. It is an
awesome thing to see him do this, and here he
is talking about the fundraising efforts and what he's been
able to get so far. I just want to give
you guys a quick update. Apologize for all the updates.
I know you're probably sick of them, but so we
just passed four million dollars. Forty eight hours ago. We

(47:19):
set out to raise two grand and now we're over
four million dollars. So I've raised the goal to five
million dollars. Um. I have no clue how big this
thing can get. How much money we can raise, but
I can promise I'm gonna do every single thing that
I can to make sure that this money goes directly
back to the people, and that we help rebuild Houston,
that we help rebuild the areas around it, and that
we make sure that these people get back on their feet.

(47:40):
That's our city, that's our community, and I just want
to make sure that we get everybody back on their feet.
So as much money as we can possibly raise, I
can't say thank you enough. Five dollars, five hundred dollars,
five cents, whatever you can donate, however you can spread
the word you carrying dot com slash J J. Watt,
thank you. I wish I could personally thank every single
person that's donated. You're making a huge, huge difference. Uh,

(48:02):
please share the video, please betweet it, whatever you can do.
Your help is gonna go a long way. So thank you, Houston.
Stay strong. We're all behind you, you know, And that
what an awesome message. He'll get past. I guarantee you'll
get past five million before we get downe with the
show tonight. But look at the conversion rate, right, and
obviously you have some others that are donating and it
gets put in in their name. But forty eight thousand,
roughly supporters donating anywhere from a dollar to as we

(48:25):
talked about, fifty thousand and so on. It's been shared
two hundred thirty thousand times. So the conversion rate of
a little less than one in five, I mean, that's
just amazing. A little more than one in five, I
should say, just an amazing call to action and people
responding in a big way. And I know J. J. Watt.
The last couple of years, it became the where's waldo?

(48:47):
There he is waving at He's not even trying anymore
because there's J. J. Watt. He's injured, but now he's
on the sideline and what's he gonna do? And let's
watch his workouts and let's go to the woods and
whatever else. And so I know there's been a bit
of a bat clash in terms of overexposure, but nobody's
ever questioned the guy's heart, either on the field or off.
And this is just a remarkable thing what he's been

(49:09):
able to do when the updates along the way, and
just that call to action has been heard by so
many and a couple of things when it comes to
donating money and and here's a story like this. Now
you're seeing J. J. Watt become the face of this
for sports, and you get the pettiness with the Rangers
and the Astros that just turns you What turns you
off to it because you're like, really Rangers, You're you're

(49:29):
really concerned about baseball when you're talking about something human.
That's where the Rangers can't get past this with Oh,
we didn't want to do it because of our fans,
and we have a long road trip. Yes, my heart
bleeds that you have a long road trip. People in
Houston are are don't have homes, but you have a
long road trip. But number one is J. J. Watt
is right. It doesn't matter how much, doesn't matter. Doesn't

(49:50):
matter if it's five thousand dollars, if it's five dollars,
if it's a dollar, if it's three dollars. If it's
five dollars, when why would help raise money for V Foundation.
I was at ESPN to to come back cancer. I
would say the same thing. It's a dollar, it's three dollars,
it's whatever it is. It's whatever you can afford. That's
absolutely fine. It's not about boy, it should be this
much more money, should be this much more money. The

(50:12):
other thing is this, And I understand there's an inherent
fear that with so many different places out there accepting money,
you want to donate to the right place. And I
get it, because that's the thing, because you can donate
to a place that says, yes, we send all our funds.
You know, here's a picture of Hurricane Harvey. Donate, and
you donate, and you realize that it's money that can
be diverted someplace else. Well, what's amazing is that you've

(50:35):
got enough watchdog organizations at this point. I just got
a letter that was from the FBI talking about here's
a bunch of charities that we know have contacted people
in your area. Just be looking at be on the
lookout these these people are not legitimate charity organizations. Same
thing happening obviously this week. And where you go. You
know J. J. Watt is going to get the money

(50:57):
where where it has to go. Certain places, the Red
Crow US, the Official Red Cross. You want the money
to go to Hurricane Harvey, just watch places that say that.
Just show you a picture. Any place that is legitimate
will say your donation will go to help Hurricane Harvey relief,
and the money will go to help bring people in,
will go to help buy food, by whatever it is,

(51:18):
it will go the Just make sure you look for
it to This money will go here. Don't fall into
a picture and realize, all I donated money here, and
then they can send it to any place else they
want to, because this is where we're going for the money.
So just realize it's pretty easy. Just look right on
the page. Anybody that's legit will tell you this money
will go to help Hurricane Harvey victims. Eight seven, seven

The Matthew Stafford debate rages on, and hot We welcome

Go to Geico dot com and in fifteen minutes you

(52:23):

Matthew Stafford debate continues one day later after he becomes
the highest paid player in the history of the National
Football League. But we have big news coming our way
right now from Green Bay. As joining us on the hotline,
ready for another big season. All you know the music,

(52:45):
Sirius x M NFL radio host Sporting News NFL insider
Alex Marvez, who has an update on Aaron Rodgers mustache. Am,
We've been waiting for days with bated breaths for this
big news. And you have to understand that Aaron has
been working on his beard this offseason and very proud

(53:06):
of his beard. You know, he says that he's gotten older,
he's finally had to grow in, which he was very
proud of. Several times he thought about shaving it, he
went as long as he could. So today was the mustache. Now.
I talked to him about this in the selection of
this year's facial hair. Every year at the Green Bay
Packers introductory luncheon, they have like a theme now He
wouldn't share what the theme was. One year they showed

(53:26):
up dressed like cowboys. One year they dressed up in denim,
you know, those types of things. So you know that's
the quarterbacks and it's their own little private club joke, etcetera.
So he wouldn't tell me what it is, but he
did fit that the mustache will soon be going the
way of the et cel. Uh you know, after this event,
he just it's the facial hair just for the preseason
when he gets down to business in the regular season.
Nothing else. That's it. Just shaving Aaron Rodgers. Now, we truly,

(53:50):
we truly want to know if he's just channeling every
character in The Big Lebowski and back through it though,
you know, right right, and you know what he liked.
That was the thing about it. It is interesting on
Twitter when Fox Sports put that tweet up there showing
him and his jury, you know, and he's wearing the
dude to bides you know, his uh what you're called
his sweater during one of the post team interviews last year,

(54:13):
and then the Sam Elliott mustache this offic this preseason. Yeah,
I mean there is a real possibility this is what
Aaron is concerned about not winning a second Super Bowl
title or being a new contract, but merely channeling Lebowski
and really, to be honest with you, complain them, is
this your interception? Arry, your father, Larry? Is this your interception, Arran?
Is this your interception? Arran? Is this your fault? Errand

(54:35):
is this your fault waiting for the scenes? Uh? So hey,
so hey, help us out here a second, because we
talked about this last night on the show and it's
just continued to mushroom in the last twenty four hours. Look,
Matthew Stafford becomes the highest paid player in the history
of the NFL. Matthew Stafford is a middle of the
pack NFL quarterback. Not that he didn't deserve his money,

(54:56):
because guys get paid, and quarterbacks get paid, and that's
just gonna keep at. Guys are gonna come up and
pretty soon we're gonna have forty million dollar a year. Guys.
But I I can't get over the over the people
that that I want to believe that Matthew Stafford is
so elite. Look, I'm not saying to deserve the money,
but let's realize where he is in the pecking order quarterbacks. Well,
but remember too, that this contract is also paying for

(55:17):
future performance, right, And I think that when you look
at Matt this offseason, he's in the best shape he's
ever been at. The guy was fantastic. You know. In
last year. This is a team that came back and
won eight games in the fourth quarter that they were
trailing it. I mean, that's an NFL record. No team
has ever done that before, No quarterback has ever done
that before Matt Stafford did. I'm not trying to be
a Matt Stafford apologist, but I'll tell you this, what

(55:39):
if he actually had a running back behind it? You know,
well that's a big question. Yeah, I saw you your
your guys, gil Brand. He put up the stats, but
what is it? Seven or eight yard rushers during his
tenure and I gave him the stats, So yeah, thanks
so much to you. Yeah, okay, but I wasn't on
the listen. I mooched it off someone else myself that

(56:00):
he hasn't He hasn't had a hundred yard rusher since
Reggie Bush back in November of two thousand thirteen. We're
talking fifty three straight games right now without a hundred
yard rusher. And I'm not saying you can't win a
Super Bowl title without a Bell car running back, but
it does make it a lot easier when you have one, right, guys,
And that's the thing with Stafford. Look, I think the
guys is a really good quarterback. There's Look, there's no
one else also in the pipeline for the Detroit lines.

(56:21):
They like Jake Rudok, but you know who knows what
his upside is? I mean, matt Staffords approven commodity. And
in the NFL today, if you've got a guy like this, well,
you've got to be willing to pay him. And listen,
we're gonna be saying that Kirk Cousins is ultimately overpaid
unless he wins a Super Bowl this year or make
takes the Redskins on a deep postseason run, Because again,
we can look at him and say, what has he
really done with the Redskins? Right? He had, he had

(56:42):
two winning seasons, but he's a little bit above five
hundred and you know how much upside does he have?
But I really think with Matthew Stafford, the Detroit lines
really truly believe that he can be a super Bowl
winning quarterback. But gosh, I look at that supporting cast
in Detroit. The defensive line is so thin right now,
they cannot sustain another injury. Who knows if Siggy Anza
is gonna start playing like the Ziggy Onza of old again,

(57:03):
you know, and again this offensive line too. Can Greg
Robinson hold up at left tackle after wiping out with
the Rams and the running game again? And they're gonna
have something to me. It's just it's a tough season
for the Lions. And again, Matt Stafford, he may not
build much upon that winning percentage, seeing that the fifty
one and fifty eight all time in his NFL career. Now, wait,
I want to go back to two things. Number One, now,
the lines do throw the ball seven hundred times a season,

(57:24):
so it's not like they don't have the plays. But second,
you got that stat from the mooch, Anthony Scaramuchi got
you that you said you moved it, so he called
you with that stat. Well, I've blocked him on Twitter,
so you know he can no longer mooch my stats
because I've moved the mooch, so to speak by doing so. Yeah, yeah,
you know, just my old political statement. You know, just

(57:45):
just get off my Twitter timeline, Babe, Alex Marvez with
US Sporting News NFL Insider series x M NFL radio host. Uh,
you know, the line kind of drawn in the sand
today because we're waiting for the best defensive player in
the NFL to come back and play. And Aaron Donald,
the Rams GM less need said today he's unlikely for
Week one if he doesn't report this week. And you know,

(58:06):
I don't know Alex if the horse hasn't left the barn,
both for him and Lady on Bell, because we see
this no matter who you are and you say I'm
working out, I'm in NFL shape. If I'm protesting my contract,
I come in late, and what happens They rush to
get back into football shape and they're dogged by a
knee or a hamstring or an achilles or a quad

(58:26):
or something throughout the season. It just it just never
works out for guys who wait, come in late and
say yeah, I'm ready to go. Well except for Mt. Smith, right, Okay,
let's years ago. That's a long time ago. I am.
I had a lot of we're locking the afro. I

(58:47):
understand that, white Man, I love it, but but you know,
the thing the thing about it though, with with these
guys you're right, and listen, there's a difference between football shape.
Let's need himself told me we're having a conversation at
Rams camp and he said ten days is what it
takes and his opinion for a player to have practices
and to get into what is you know, football shape
that's during training camp, not you know, regular season mode
where you're really more just fine tuning things. You're not

(59:09):
having extensive practices. And you're right. And when you when
you say the horse left the barn, I mean, I'm
just wondering if the horses left the barn on Aaron
Donald period, and that as the weeks go by, if
he's not there week two, week three, week four, if
the Rams look and say, you know, run over our
head on this, Let's just get what we can for
Aaron Donald and trade him, you know, I mean or
just I mean, are they really going to draw that
line in the sand and not pay him? And you know,

(59:30):
as Aaron willing to sit out in an entire season,
I think the big difference between his situation with Aaron
and the situation there's two with Lady on Bell and
Aaron Donald. The first is that Aaron as goopy as
this is is twenty six years old. He came into
the NFL late, so he's two years away from free agency.
As it is, he's looking to get paid now, Lady
on Bell is twenty five years old. He came into

(59:51):
the NFL young. So when you know, he's also got
a twelve million dollar payday waiting for him. If he
comes in and signs, that's fine. He's not going to
give up those giant paychecks for Aaron Don. All this
the salary I believe at one point eight million dollars,
which is which is for his talent level, is awfully low.
What's maddening about this is that they knew in the
Rams management that Aaron Donald was going to be coming

(01:00:11):
at them with his agents. I had I interviewed him
about this last June of two thousand sixteen. This was
no secret that he was looking to get paid. But
what are the Rams do? Instead? They signed seven hundred
year old Andrew Whitworth. God bless him, but my god,
the money that they paid him. You paid Robert Woods,
you paid you put the franchise tag on Tremaine Johnson
for a second straight season, and you didn't take care
of your best player. And now they're paying the price.

(01:00:33):
This is one of the reasons the Rams still trying
to make the playoffs for the first time since two
thousand four, Alex. One of the stories that continues to
have just a big effect on the NFL is the
Ezekiel Elliott appeal Day two tomorrow. Is this gonna end
up in quarter They're just gonna drag this out and
try to push it through the system and keep him
on the field as long as they can. Well, yeah,

(01:00:54):
you know, and of course knowing that that it could
potentially backfire. And what you may end up having then
is you know, a situation where he's suspended later in
the season, depending upon how the courts rule. And would
you rather lose Ezekiel Elliott for the first six games
of the season than the final six games of the season,
if you know what I mean, you play with fire.
You could get burned like that. But you know, you know,
you you listen to media reports and the and the

(01:01:14):
stuff that's being leaked out by the by the Ezekiel
Elliott camp because it's not coming from the NFL side,
and the reports that are out there. Basically this is
now getting extended until Thursday morning. There's a lot of
evidence that they're presenting. You know, on the Zeke Elliott side,
Tiffany Thompson reportedly not there to defend her side of
the story. Nor do I know if she has to
be there for the NFL to believe in what she says.

(01:01:36):
But you know, it's a mess, and yeah, he could
turn the court at some point, but you know, the
longer this appeals process goes, let's not forget the longer
it may take for Harold Henderson to make a decision.
And you know, are the Cowboys left holding the bag
heading into week one? You know, and they find out
on the Friday before the game, for example. So a
lot of moving parts on this one, guys. I just
still have the feeling that it's going to be Darren
McFadden in the backfield for the early part of the

(01:01:57):
season for the Cowboys. M last know, you had a
chance to talk to Kareem Jackson of the Texans as
they're dealing with the fallout from from Hurricane Harvey right now,
and there J. J. Watt is raising a ton of
money to help relief efforts and they're trying to figure
out the best thing to do as far as going forward.
With their fourth exhibition game and moving on. You know,
where are you? What are some of the things he
told you about what the team's going through right now? Well,

(01:02:19):
you know, the great news is that nobody in their
immediate family is affected, you know, by this by this
storm like there you know, for what kareem Texans heard.
There's no players that have lost everything. You know, families
are safe. And that's late news for the Texans. But
they know what they're coming back to. I mean know
they you know, there's guys who they understand that the
floodwaters around their house may make it very difficult to

(01:02:40):
get to and fro when they return. It's what's really
caused that first NFL game of the season by the
Texans set to host the Jaguars put it in jeopardy
in the NFL may very well say hey, you know what,
let's flip these games. Let's go sat the Jaguars h
you know, play in Jacksonville week one, and then have
the Jacks come to town in week fifteen. You know,
that's one option there, because there's a clear Houston is

(01:03:00):
not set right now to host any games this weekend,
and we'll have to see how the situation goes at
the flooding can subside as time goes on, but you know,
it seems like they've just been on the road for
a long time, and you know, the bad news is
just talking purely football here. His history isn't kind to
those teams that are affected by storms, you know, and
we're forced to move, forced to change their schedules, and
again when they get back, it's not going to be

(01:03:22):
life as normal for a long time to come. I
think it's great what they're doing for the city of Houston.
I just feel like this Texans team that's going to
be something very tough for them to overcome this season,
the after effects of Hurricane Harvey. You can follow on

mark of sixty one, which he says is the real
home run mark. Here's what's going to happen. As September

(01:09:42):
gets on, he gets closer to sixty one, he will
become the People's home run Champion. It will be a
topic that has debated all over sports talk radio because
no one fully believes maguire so sa Bonds. All the
p E D stories that have come out over the years,
we now are disillusion But here's Gran Carlos Stanton. As
far as we know, Stanton is doing it because he

(01:10:04):
matches and finally he's healthy, he gets the sixty one,
he's the people's champion. He will be the guy many
fans say, he's really my champion. So right now, go
back in time, pretend it's nine and that you're watching
Gen Carlos Stanton get to Roger Marris's mark of sixty one.
He's ten away and we're still in August. He's going

(01:10:27):
to do it. When is it gonna happen? And it'll
be awesome. You can pretend that this is what's happening.
You can say, oh, my Thursday nights are set because
I got friends, I have signed Felt and then I
have Frazier. Uh, It's is gonna this is gonna be awesome.
I'm gonna go to the movies and see Jerry McGuire.
This is gonna be exciting. I'm gonna go watch Dane
Cook to stand up. I saw him a couple of

(01:10:47):
months ago. This is gonna be great. It's nineteen, it's
nineties six. The internet is just new. I can gotta
wait to get up late at night to plug in
my internet so I can download stuff a little a
bit fast. And you download that one picture. Everybody else
would go out and you'd be sitting in your door room,
little Jason Smith, waiting, and then when we get back,

(01:11:08):
you'd say, I found this one picture. I think it's
a boob. I had a problem with my computer. Alright, alright,
sorry to me, favor turn it off and turn it
back on. No, I've done that I turned it off.
I turned it back on right before I called you.
Give me a favor. Turn it off and turn it
back on. All right? Wait a second, Oh, that U

(01:11:28):
should drive me crazy. I turn it off and turn
it back on before I called you. Do it again.
Like that was when you would get on your computer
and you would see a note that would say your
computer is harmed by a virus. Type this in to
get rid of it. It's like, oh, I better type
it in because the message came up on my computer
that a virus is harming my computer. Oh, this is
a very big deal. Then you type it and realize, oh,

(01:11:51):
you just loose the virus on everybody that's ever had
your email address. Bad job by you. Yeah, Gen Carlos
Stanton were now the countdown to say do you want
I guess if if you want to play that game,
pretend it's nineteen. I laugh, and I celebrate the accomplishments
of all of those whose records have not been taken down.
You can tell me it cheapens things and whatever else.

(01:12:11):
Seventy three still stands. So it's all about Bond and Sammy. No,
it's regardless of what he changed. When you have his
skin unrecognizable. I have no idea. What's going on. They're
not winning this argument with that. No, it's not that.
The argument, there's no argument here is still on the book.

(01:12:34):
People's champion, gian Carlos standing. They can think about it
all they want. I had hair. Sometimes you have to
accept reality. I was playing softball and I was playing
roller hockey and I was great. Hair's gone. Yeah, the
meat got you? No more ice cream? Twitter, Yes, I
wasn't eating horses in ninety six. I came later, Jay

(01:13:00):
since Smith, Joe Jason, and a guy who used to
be my best friend, Mike Carmen coming up next. Hey,
another NFL star is on the trading block end. It
might be an epidemic that people are now getting d
u I s at Burger King. Oh by the way,
MLB star Denny Duffy, I'm talking to you Fox, big
Dong of the night. Oh by the way, this ninth

(01:13:23):
inning for Fernando Rodney, Oh my god. The diamond sweat offunds. No,
it's just the jerseys. It's just now that these diamond
Backs jerseys look like they're just sweating through the backste
really was just trying to paint a picture for the people.
Why did you have to go and just smack me
over there? I mean, it's hot in Arizona, it's a
hundred and fifteen degrees, but it's not sweat. It's just

(01:13:45):
a really bad looking jersey. The Diamondbacks trying to close
out a win over the Dodgers. They led seven five
going to the ninth inning. Uh, there was a double,
a wild pitch, an infield single, a wild pitch, and
now a hit batsman. Yeah, this is Fernando Rodney's inning
so far, and the Dodgers have two on, two out

(01:14:07):
and they're down seven six. This I mean, Fernando Rodney,
he is such an adventure it's unbelievable. I mean he
comes out. Look. I know that when Familia comes in
in certain clothes coming, I go, oh, b but I
gotta buckle up, I gotta take maylocks. But they got
nothing on Fernando Rodney. He comes in. It's like you
have you have no idea. You have absolutely no idea.
Beautiful though, keeps people on the edge of their seats,

(01:14:29):
makes it interesting. Sometimes you need to have something jump
start your heart. I don't know. I don't know why
closers don't realize, Okay, maybe the best thing is a
non stressful inning and I'm gona throw strikes. Yeah. But
you know what's great about this. We're sitting here in
the Geigho studios. We've been able to watch the scheme.
It's every Tuesday at the end of the season. The
Dodgers are it's kind of a big deal. Yeah, and

(01:14:50):
this is this is clearly a game that that uh,
you expect the Dodgers to win seven five the ninth
in it, Yeah, no big deal without Bellinger was coming
back tomorrow. Yeah, no, no, we're all good. The offense
is now coming back a little bit. No, no hitter
for Richill tonight. But Fernando Rodney on the mound. You
never know. You never know what you're gonna get. It's
a beautiful thing. Uh. One quick note before you get

(01:15:11):
back into baseball again. Arizona leads the Dodgers seven six
two on two out of the ninth, and then he
will update you wanted a couple of seconds. The New
York Jets have put Matt Forte officially on the trading block.
I know that he's dinged up a little bit, but seriously,
how did the Jets wait till now to put him
on the trading block. I mean really, I mean his
four million dollar salary is guaranteed, so it's clear that

(01:15:36):
they want to move on from him, which is why
they were able to cut Eric Decker and cut David
Harris because you know, they would have said they saved
a little bit of money. But you know, why did
it takes so long? I mean, he's over thirty, He's
gonna help them win games. How did it take him
so long to do that? I'm gonna go out on
a limb and say, they were really hoping that What
do we have near about thirty a c l s

(01:15:57):
at this point? Yeah, alright. The fact of the matter
is that, other than Spencer Ware, we haven't seen the
spade of running backs fall. And I think that might
have been what the Jets were doing. They were playing
poker that a number of these injuries the season enders

(01:16:17):
that we saw over the first three weeks of the preseason,
that you'd have a handful of running backs feld and
there's only been one so far. That's what I'm thinking
was the optimal we could get a couple of draft
picks for next year. The Jets and the Bills are
trying to out tank each other. Oh, the Bills traded Ragley.

(01:16:38):
We'll see that move and raise you Matt Forte on
the trading. But now it's Brady versus Cutler for the division.
It's fantastic. It's the Dolphins will finish second, and they'll
be they'll be three and thirty. Don't let me have
a single moment, and all they'll have the pages of
the division clinched. By Halloween. That could will be over. Yes,

(01:17:00):
and anyone. We're not going to arrest guys. We're moving on.
We're just do Some of this stuff that we're gonna
get is a weapon. Meanwhile, this story from baseball because
I'm always nervous when a new epidemic has come, and
maybe this is it. Danny Duffy of the Royals was
arrested for a d uy a couple of days ago
because he passed out in a Burger King drive through.

(01:17:22):
What is this epidemic with people passing out in drive throughs?
This is not like the the place where people get
caught for d u because that enough time post order
to relax. It's like it's seven thirty at night. This
doesn't like you when you go one in the morning,
and it's the guy's got an operational inefficient forever. Shouldn't

(01:17:44):
have enough time for your body to relax and pass
out you're in a dry I don't understand. I mean,
I look, there's times I get in the drive through
and I can't wait for what's coming. I mean, there's
no way, not that I've had a bunch of drinks
or anything, but I to dry through. I'm like, there's
nothing going to stop me from passing out because I went.
I went to Burger King two days ago, and I

(01:18:06):
went and I said, make it feel like gat me
great because you know, I actually like the chicken sandwich.
So I said, I like a chicken sandwich. It's chicken,
is it? I said, I said, let me have a
chicken sandwich, right, And I was excited. Let me a
chicken sandwich with cheese. By normal, order chicken sandwich with cheese. Um.
And I get a curly fries. No, no, I don't

(01:18:27):
get fries. No Burger friend, the come on, this is
the middle of the day. I'm not saying. It went
like late at night and I get the same thing,
and I get I get a chicken sandwich with American cheese,
and I get club soda with a splash of sprite
that and that's my order. And I get up there
and you know, I'm normally excited, but but yeah, I

(01:18:49):
can cut everything else. Soda that's the twenty two. Yeah. No,
it's so I don't drink so much diet soda. And
I get a little something. You know, that's it for you.
So I said, okay, great, Now I'm excited because I'm
getting this sandwich. And the woman says to me over
the intercom, says, we have a special of uh buy one,

(01:19:09):
get one free and chicken sandwiches. Would you like an
extra one? I said, sure, we'll charge you. It's gonna
be cents for the cheese. Yeah. Great, So now again
I got two sandwiches. But careful with the diet coke.
I you know, I say the same thing if I

(01:19:30):
get two chicken sandwiches and a coke, is not as
healthy as two chicken sandwiches and a diet coke, which
is not as healthy as two chicken sandwiches and club
soda with a splash. But it's it's what's healthy. It's
what it is. I went in a restaurant once and
the greater k to take my orders. What would you like?
I said, I'm gonna have the twelve ound steak, medium

(01:19:53):
rare mashed potatoes. Do you want loaded? Yes, I want
them loaded? Uh? And then diet coke and the guy
goes her diet coke. Really, four fried chickens and a
coke and I'll open twy right toast. But no, but
I mean, look, I get excited to drive this. I'm
never passing out in the drive thru. It's never happening. Well,

(01:20:14):
not with the anticipation of such an order. Wait, we
actually do have audio of of the drive thru in
question here. Let's go ahead, let's hear it. No end,
no end, no end, no no no, and then and
then and then and then and then and then club

(01:20:38):
soda and a splash of sprightlash just right. It's wrong
with that. My estimation of you just just fell so
coming up. I don't even know. I can't even tell you.
Fox Sports Radio, the Jason Smith Show. Yeah, you're probably
out right now enjoying a club soda and a splat.

(01:21:00):
It's just sprite when y'all, I don't know why you
guys thought that was so funny, just odd? What here
you are ordering giant hunks of fried chicken too, chicken
sandwiches not one, but two. Would you like to chicken
sandwich by would get one free? The chicken breast right here.

(01:21:23):
I am gonna dip in that far. I didn't, as
you say, go, I didn't think about this till right now.
Usually you only get a buy one get one free
or some kind of sale like that when they're trying
to move stuff that they haven't been able to move before.
I've never seen anybody else besides Burger King do a
buy one get one free. Although McDonald's did, there was

(01:21:43):
there was no notice anywhere. Drift, Hey you want another
one for free? Didn't hit the floor, sir, This is
a manager special today. We had that We would do
that in in in the produce department all the time.
If we over ordered stuff, we would say, hey, manager special, chair,
these are now a dollar forty nine pounds out of
two twenty nine something like that. But the only time

(01:22:04):
everything buy one, get one free and fast food is
like when the Big Mac has a birthday is hey,
this week only Big Mac turns sixty, buy one, get
one free, But no Bird King's just hey, Yeah. The
original chicken sandwich, Buy one, get one free. Wanted to
keep the guy at the fryer a little bit busy.
Big down of the night update from Major League Baseball.

(01:22:27):
Fernando Rodney was able to navigate the rest of the
ninth inning got Yasmani Grandall in the ground out. So
the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers by the final of seven
six and here come the diamond Backs ready to overtake
the dut Well the diamond first three game losing streaks
since early June. Bellinger is back tomorrow. Everything will be fine.
What did I tell you about Richell? You go, I'm

(01:22:48):
nervous about Richell. Nervous about Richell, just like will be fine.
It'll be all before we get to the big NFL
story of the day that's gonna now stretch into Wednesday
and Thursday. A great update coming your way. As water
is rising in Houston still Hurricane Harvey is threatening, with
its second landfall coming very soon. Tens of thousands of

(01:23:11):
people have been displaced in the number of deaths is
now up to eighteen. But the best news we can
tell you is that people are donating money, big time
money to help with aid. We talked about this. Last night,
I challenged every owner in Major League Baseball, NBA, NFL,
you all have teams in Houston, donate a million dollars.

(01:23:31):
Each team should donate a million dollars. And you're at
a hundred million dollars And what's gonna need to be
in the various hundreds of millions of dollars in recovery
for the city of Houston for the next few years.
And we're seeing it happen now. The Jets donated a
million dollars, the Titans donated a million dollars. Less Alexander
upped his from four million to ten million, owner of
the Rockets. We're starting to see at Sandra Bullock gave

(01:23:53):
a million dollars to disaster relief fund for Hurricane Harvey
in Houston. But maybe the best story of this, asked
couple of days as far as fundraising, is a grassroots
effort led by J. J. Watt, Texas defensive star put
out a Kickstarter type campaign that wanted to raise five
hundred thousand dollars for Hurricane Harvey relief aide, and he

(01:24:17):
got to five hundred thousand, said his goal was a million.
Last night, his goal was a million. He got to
it just before we got off the air last night.
Then said, my new goal was one point five million.
Today he's been blowing past it, got to two million.
Said my next goal is three million. Got the three millions.
Said my next goal is four million. Got the four million,
said my next goal is five million. He is now

(01:24:39):
how much short of the five million dollar goal in
my harmon hundred dollars away. And when we talked about
this an hour ago, we said he's gonna get there
by the end of the show. He's gonna get there.
He's gonna get to five million dollars. And he's just
under ten thousand dollars short of getting to five million dollars.

(01:25:01):
Here's J. J. Watt from earlier tonight talking about how
thankfully was for everybody to contribute. I just want to
give you guys a quick update. Apologize for all the updates.
I know you're probably sick of them, but so we
just passed four million dollars. Forty eight hours ago. We
set out to raise two grand and now we're over
four million dollars. So I'll raise the goal to five
million dollars. Um. I have no clue how big this

(01:25:22):
thing can get how much money we can raise, but
I can promise I'm gonna do every single thing that
I can to make sure that this money goes directly
back to the people, and that we help rebuild Houston,
that we help rebuild the areas around it, and that
we make sure that these people get back on their feet.
And that's our city, that's our community, and I just
want to make sure that we get everybody back on
their feet. So as much money as we can possibly raise,
I can't say thank you enough. Five dollars, five hundred dollars,

(01:25:45):
five cents, whatever you can donate, however you can spread
the word you carrying dot com slash J J. Watt,
thank you. I wish I could personally thank every single
person that's donated. You're making a huge, huge difference. Uh.
Please share the video, please retweeted. Whatever you can do,
your health is going to go a long way. So
thank you, Houston, stay strong again. The site you caring

(01:26:06):
dot com is what he's doing again. Just less than
ten thousand dollars from five million, then his goal will
be six million. It's an awesome story to see people
contribute that have the means to be able to do this.
To help Houston relief funding. Every time I see a
million dollar check, it's like wow, it's it's absolutely fantastic.
So we'll keep you posted on J J. Watt see
if he hits five million by the end of the show.

(01:26:26):
We got John Caliparias now announced he's doing a telethon proceeds. So,
I mean, just everybody coming to the to bat, whether
it's challenging their celebrity friends, and then the viral sensation
of all right, now you challenge another twenty guys and
they start rolling up money because Kevin Hart did it,
and then the Rock and then all of a sudden,
you just get this snowball effect and it's cool just

(01:26:49):
you know, from that being able to lend the money,
but also just watching people rally in and around Houston
and giving of themselves, them time, their time, and putting
themselves in harm way for others, reminding you that inherently
people are good no matter what how many negative news
stories that you lead with. And I know sometimes you know,

(01:27:09):
the sports talk radio and sports media world can get
a little bit fired up in negative at times as
well and stoked those passions. But the reality of of
this situation is you know, you just see the best
of people come come to bear Twitter at how about
a fresco the Jason Smith showed Jason Mike Harmon live
from the Geico Studios. Meanwhile, in the NFL, a headline

(01:27:30):
of a different sort, as we find out, it's going
to be another couple of days to figure out the
outcome of Ezekiel Elliott's appeal to the NFL to reduce
his six games suspension. Elliott, who was suspended by the
NFL for that number of games a couple of weeks
ago for failure to adhere to the personal conduct policy
of the NFL. He has accused of six separate counts

(01:27:52):
of domestic violence over a five night period last July.
He had two instances in this offseason where he pulled
down a woman's top at a parade, and he would
involved allegedly in a bar fight which left a man
with a broken nose. He's trying to appeal. He wants
to get the six game suspension down to whatever it is.
There's gonna be a lot of discrediting of his accuser.
Jerry Jones has said, I've looked at the evidence. There's

(01:28:13):
no evidence. But here's the big thing for Elliott. And
this is not about innocent or guilt. It's about how
this is going to end. This is going to end
with Ezekiel Elliott getting a six game suspension. You can
appeal as much as you want to, You can appeal
to every single aspect. You are not getting that suspension
reduced Tom Brady. They did the same thing in New

(01:28:35):
England for deflate Gate. They waited, they appealed, they won,
they lost, They won, they lost. On what happened in
the end, Tom Brady had to serve his four game suspension.
Now you can say, oh, look at the end result,
the Patriots won the Super Bowl. Yeah, but you're looking
right now at Ezekiel Elliott seeing a future that is
gonna see him sit down for six games. I can't
imagine the headline for the NFL because it's this is

(01:28:58):
why I can't believe they're gonna reduces this mentioned because
the first thing is gonna be four games for deflating
a football, four games for domestic violence. How does that equal.
It's a horrible headline for the National Football League. You
can do this, but eventually you're gonna have to sit
those games. And if you sit now, you know, and
your team can plan for it, and you can finish
and move on and you move on with your life.

(01:29:20):
The Cowboys move on with their life and this doesn't
hang over you and become a headline for a year
or whoever long it's gonna be. That the flate gate
headline was around for way too long. Not to compare
the flate Gate with domestic violence, but it's to say,
if you're gonna keep appealing, it's still gonna be a headline,
is still gonna be talked about. You're gonna get those games.
Do it now when your team knows, Okay, we're gonna

(01:29:40):
be without you for six games, we will get on
and then you'll be back. Because what's gonna happen if
you run out of appeals in week eleven or week twelve, Hey,
guess what you're done for the rest of the season.
And if you make the playoffs, you're not playing those
games either, And it's now carrying over to next year
for the first two games. I don't see why you.
I get your mad. I know Jerry Jones is mad.
He feels that this was an investigation that wasn't done

(01:30:02):
as well as it should be. But this doesn't have
to be a court of law. That doesn't have to
be done to anybody's satisfaction other than the national Football
leagues and the d A had evidence. There was evidence
enough that they looked at something happened between Elliott and
Tiffany Thompson. So here was the suspension. If you take
it now, at least you know and your team can

(01:30:23):
plan for it and you can move on because the
end result is you're gonna have to serve these games.
That's why I say just take it now. Just take
it now and serve it and be done with it well. Implemented,
implemented this policy going back to two thousand fourteen just
ahead of the season that it would be a six
game suspension too. To with the c b A. The
Collective Bargaining Agreement allows for Roger Goodell, as we've talked

(01:30:46):
about oftentimes, and it bears repeating the judge jury executioner
and essentially to be the appellate court and under the
guise of Harold Henderson, so it's still the guy he appointed,
still hearing that. Now. There have been other cases whereby
you've seen the appeal process reduced those number of games. Here,

(01:31:08):
it's pretty black and white in terms of what the
suspension calls for under these rules, and it's six games,
so I don't know that we see any type of
reduction along the way. There. Therefore, you go into the
process of Ezekiel Elliott. I believe all parties would rather
have him missed the first six games. You're rounding into

(01:31:29):
shape anyway as a team, you drop one or two
games early, no harm, no fall. Now he's ready for
the stretch run and in theories, in game shape and
gives you ten brilliant games to match what he did
a year ago. Now, we talked about the schedule, We've
talked about the shuffling of the offensive line. There's some
things just on the field that are going to be
different that are gonna make things more difficult for the Cowboys.

(01:31:50):
But for Ezekiel Elliott, you're in the position whereby you
need to to really think about all of the different processes.
For Jerry Jones, and he wants wins, so he that's
that's all he's looking at in terms of the the
Ezekiel Elliott availability and and trying to push as back

(01:32:11):
as hard as he can. So he's going to keep
going to the crimical court. They couldn't get him there
forgetting again that he amongst all of these people associated
with the National Football League, we're part of the decision
making process that gave Roger Goodell the power that he
wields right now and puts him in this position. Fox

(01:32:33):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show, getting on Twitter at
how about a Frasco phone number eight seven seven eight
seven seven six six three six nine. Will have more
NFL coming up later on, including in ten minutes when
I can make thirty one teams not name the Patriots

(01:32:55):
very very happy, excited. Got to do that. I can
do that coming up next, Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Radio,
The Jason Smith Show. Jason and my best friend Mike Harmon.
We are live from the Geico Studios and right now,
Mike Harmon, I'm gonna do something that I don't know
that I can do anything better. I can make thirty

(01:33:17):
one NFL teams not named the Patriots happy, even the
Lions fans that hate me because I had the temerity
or the guts to say that. Look, Matthew Stafford is
the sixteenth best quarterback in the NFL. Is fifteen guys
better than him. They'll even like me well, you call

(01:33:38):
him and Jack he's a jag Jag quarterback. He's a
little bit above average skill wise. His production is he's
the middle of the pack. He's five and forty six
against teams with winning records. Not that it's always about
it's always the quarterback's fault. But I'm not saying the
guy's got to be forty six and five. But you
can't be five and forty six. You got more of

(01:33:59):
those games, you know, come on, I mean you got
you gotta do that. And I know Alex Marves pointed
out all the game winning drives a year ago and
the heroics. Um, someone had to put him in behind.
I'm sorry, is that you blunt? No? But I know
obviously he lost a couple of the years early in
his career fluke, injuries, and he's he's found is his stride.

(01:34:23):
And we look over the last six years, four thousand
yards the season, which again isn't quite the benchmark that
it used to be. And beyond Calvin Johnson, and that's
a pretty big caveat out beyond Kelvin. Calvin Johnson not
exactly a murderer's row. Wide receivers and running backs working
alongside him. And now they brought in Greg Robinson. They

(01:34:44):
thought that was gonna fix was gonna fix the offensive.
Are you kidding me? Let me tell you about I
gotta turnstyle. I bought from the old Chamiskey park. Let
me that operates better than he doesn't. Don't mention Greg
Robinson's name, don't mention. But game winning drives doesn't mean
game winning drives in the final two minutes. This is
game winning drives in which the Lions take the lead

(01:35:04):
and they win the game as a result. That's a
game winning drive. Sounds good game when he drives to
come in the second quarter, you know, So game winning
drives is not Boy, he's won another game in the
final two bets. That's kind of what it is. So yeah,
I know it did, of course, because it makes a
better argument. Right, I'm gonna tell you the truth, and
the truth is I'm not upset that Matthew Stafford got

(01:35:25):
paid because quarterbacks get paid. This is how it goes.
I expected him to get paid. Look, I remember saying,
what was it a year and a half ago. Listen,
we're gonna go down and the guy that's gonna get
paid the most money in the history of the NFL
is gonna be Matthew Stafford because he got all that
money the first contract, he got the next big one,
and he's got at least one more big one to him.
He's gonna make more money than anybody in the history

(01:35:45):
of the game. It will get eclipsed at some point,
but he's gonna have that mantel for a while. He's
got three huge, hundred plus million dollar contract. Favorite photo
of the day from the Positivity of the Sports World,
yes was let's have another picture of Clayton Kershaw and
Matthew Stafford together to their childhood. These two men are

(01:36:07):
worth hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. But look,
I didn't Stafford is an average NFL quarterback. Do I
wish the Jets had him? Of course, because look we
have Stafford is is okay, he's not awful, but stop
telling me. Always better than Roethlisberger, he's better than No,
he's not. He's not better than Flacco. He's not better
than roethlisb. He's not better than Russell Wilson. He's not
better than Cam Newton. He's not better than any of

(01:36:28):
these guys, not better than any of them. He is Okay,
he got paid and that's fun. That's how it works.
And how about a frescolite still happen? I hate that word.
It's like anybody in our business that refers to themselves
as talent, the use of the term elite in any

(01:36:49):
of these discussions. The elite means that you're at the top.
You're not top twelve. What do you got? Frostberg, upon
further review a year and a half ago, you actually
he said Mark Sanchez would be the highest paying quarterback
in NFL history. I believe he predicted greatness for Hackenburg. Yeah,
I think I said, Did I say? Hackenburger said? Gino Smith? No? No,

(01:37:15):
come on. He may not even make the giants about that,
but now I can make thirty one fan bases. How
about that? Look at you. You're a game first, you're
helping to raise money and getting all the ownership groups
fired up, and now and now you're gonna make the

(01:37:35):
other fan bases happy. The cover of the new Sports
Illustrator came out today. I got a lot of attention
because it's Tom Brady, a normal size Tom Brady on
one knee, yelling in his best game of that. It's
normal sized Tom Brady. You know, it's normal sized Tom Brady.
And then around it, like he's a real life gulliver.
Around him are other one player from every NFL team,

(01:37:56):
tiny players like I mean as biggest Jared Goff's hands
that are like clinging onto Brady. You have Lashawn McCoy
is hanging onto the towel that hangs over his bell.
Tom Brady has never been hotter. You know, you have
one player from every team, and it's the Patriots problem.
How the NFL can't figure out the Patriots g I
wonder why the Patriots are winning as much as they
have been the last fifteen years. What are they doing? Execution?

(01:38:19):
But the Patriots problem. Nobody can beat them. Do the
Texans know how they Nobody can beat them. It's gonna
be a boring season. The Patriots are gonna win the
Super Bowl. We're gonna sit here and watch Tom Brady
hold the Lombardi Trophy up again and go okay. But
here's the good news, much like it was with the Jets,

(01:38:40):
and you figure, people are gonna make millions of dollars
just betting against the Jets all year because they're so bad,
because everybody expects them to be the worst team in
the NFL, one of the worst teams in the history
of the NFL. They're tanking, they're trying to lose games
just because everybody thinks something's going to happen. And it's
actually when everybody thinks one outcome is going to be served,

(01:39:05):
people bet one way. They believe it's gonna happen, and
you know what, it doesn't happen for whatever reason. Now,
that doesn't mean that Jets are gonna go and win
twelve games and challenge for the division title. But instead
of being one in fifteen, could they be five and
eleven because the defense is better than much people think
and suddenly Vegas is not losing money hand over fist. Absolutely,
But if they win twelve games and suddenly are relevant,

(01:39:27):
can you imagine, does it mean that there's like a
much larger meaning to the signing of Armageddon? DJ Armageddon
tired of you making fun of the Jets? Think about it?
For the Patriots, it's the same thing. It's everybody thinks
this outcome is a fatal company. The Patriots are gonna

(01:39:49):
be great. How are you gonna stop them? And like
Bourbon likes to say, that's why they play the games.
Many things can happen. Tom Brady can get old in
a minute, because that's how it happens. You get old
in a minute. In the NFL. It's not always getting
a little bit older. No, it's young young, young, young old.
Gronkowski could get hurt. Guys. Guys might not the new

(01:40:10):
the new pieces might not fit. It could happen. But
especially when everybody thinks one event is coming and a
people would bet heavy on the Patriots at Vegas never
lose his money. They're not. Are they gonna sit there? Really?
You think they're gonna lose money all year long because
the Patriots keep covering and winning. Sometimes it doesn't happen,

(01:40:30):
especially when one outcome is what everybody thinks it's gonna be.
Doesn't always happen that way. So hang onto that. It's
not scientific, but it's but realize that the the odds
or when you talk about just one outcome, there are
many different ways to get there. It's not just one.

(01:40:51):
There's one outcome and it's gonna be the Patriots gonna
beat everybody goes sixteen and O. We're talking about them
winning every game and being undefeated. There are many offshoots,
because many things happen. A team could figure out Tom
Brady week two, week three and say, hey, this is
the defense you gotta play on Tom Brady. And suddenly
Brady is screaming at all his teammates, which is what
Brady does when things get tough, because he wants you
to know it's not my fault we're not scoring. I'm

(01:41:12):
yelling at my teammates because we're not scoring. That could happen.
Many things can. Just because you think it's gonna happen
doesn't mean it. I was like that little glimpse into
your soul when you start talking about Tom Brady and
to get all angry your heart rate goes up. Just relax, okay.
Fact is, when we look at the Patriots, you've got
as much as it stays the same, and you say,

(01:41:34):
this is the routine, this is the system, this is
the coach, this is the laws, and Julian Edelman will
be felt at some point they don't have a perfect replacement.
I've been pumping up Austin Carr out of Northwestern, who's
had a nice camp, but James White, the running back,
most likely picks up some touches and targets along the way.
It's not a one for one with Hogan like many

(01:41:56):
people would like to have it and have themselves leave.
They have the plug in fantasy player that they picked
up on waivers after Edelman went down, and we saw
Atlanta for a half get after Tom Brady. That speed
rush worked and everything flipped. Second half, they got conservative offensively,
made a number of erroneous play calls, and then suddenly

(01:42:21):
you have Brady and that offense eviscerating them in the
second half of the huge comeback. But so we saw
some glimpses and even on social media and wherever you
were watching the game, wherever you are out there, we
thank you for taking a few minutes with us. Think
about it. You had at least one guy going, oh,
that's it, he's done, he's done. Where's Jimmy, where's Jimmy, Jimmy, Yeah,

(01:42:42):
waiting on Garoppolo. So we'll see if that comes to fruition.
They may have the next man in waiting at the
quarterback position. But there there will be bumps along the way.
Even if it's like the Dodger season, they're very short
lived and you get right back after it. Fox Sports
Radio that Jason Smith showed Jason, Mike car and live
from the Get Go Studios Twitter at how about a

(01:43:02):
fresca coming up in one minute. There's never been any
kind of apparel ever made in the history of the

is until today. But first let's find out what's running
from Tom Louis. Could be a minute of two depends.
I'm gonna check my sweet old time final baseball game

(01:43:23):
of the night Tonight, Angels Holy smoked the A's eight
to two. The Marlins Gian Carlos Staaten home run number
fifty one tonight that leads Major League Baseball. Fox Sports
Radio would light and congratulate the Kansas City Royals. After
forty five scoreless sendings, they scored a run tonight and
the third inning, I guess the Tampa Bay Rays Royals

(01:43:47):
won the game. A teenage American from Maryland came this
close up setting Roger Federer at the US Open. It's
radio see I can't see my fingers, but he came
this close. Match point, though, goes out wide and Federer's
body Roger blocks the pack hand of TFO miss hits
the forehand into the net, bringing it into an epic.

(01:44:09):
Roger Federer pumps the arms in the air. He waits
for the nineteen year old at net and what a
night it's been. Roger Federer pushed in the first round,
but he's through and that's all the counts. Tfo was
the guy's name from Maryland? I haven't heard of me.
The US Open Radio and Sirius sex Sam providing us
with the called how bad did some people want to

(01:44:32):
see a boxing champion fight a UFC champion? Some guy
in Oregon ordered the Mayweather McGregor fight on the Showtime
app but there was a technical snaffoo, so it didn't work,
and now the guy is suing Showtime for emotional damage.
Jason Michael. Wow, that's a very upset baby right there.

(01:44:58):
Nice way to describe any that's gonna sue because he
couldn't get a boxing match. Well yeah, I mean I
I still can't get over the story of the bartender
that pretended to be part of mayweather Is entourage and
sat in the third row and watch the fight. Super him.
I love him. I bet you that was Tom Looney.
Act like you belong the credential. You should be arrested

(01:45:18):

make it really need for the Walking Dead music Elex.
Most people are zombies and they they followed, they do
not leave. That's that's why it's so easy to get
into places. The cops come over to Luney and they go, oh,
we need to see your identification, and Luney goes and
the police are Gordon sumnering me right now? All right?

(01:46:04):
Just you say, I just say, don't I looked like
I belong? What does that mean? Thank you? Uh? The
Jason Smith showed Jason Mike Carmon live from the Getico Studios.
There has never been in the history of the world,
and I mean it, in the history of the world.
A piece of apparel, whether it's a shirt, sweatshirt, sneaker,

(01:46:31):
anything else that has made me want to eat it
until today, because Kevin Durant's new shoe is out and
it's the Cupcake shoe. Now, if you remember, there's a
reason for the cupcake shoe being the name of the shoe.

(01:46:52):
When he signed with the Golden State Warriors over a
year ago on July four, it was Russell Westbrook that
tweeted out of photo of a bunch of cupcakes and
said Happy Birthday, America because it was fourth of July. Now,
this was a dig at Kevin Durant because Kendrick Perkins,
one of their former teammates, used to refer to players
that were soft as cupcakes. So now here's a little

(01:47:13):
troll job of all you're signing here you go, you're
soft Kevin Durant. Now Durant has turned that around. His
new sneaker is the cupcake. Nike unveiled the new Kevin
Durant sneaker, the k d X red velvet sneaker. Now,
I'm not a Redt's overrated already before I even Here's

(01:47:36):
the thing. I'm not a red velvet cupcake fan. I'm not.
I'm not a red velvet fan, I understand why. Like
that black velvet by Allan of Miles, I mean that
was good, if you please to d I'm I'm not
a red velvet fan. But when I look at this shoe,

(01:47:57):
it looks like a shoe. I want to eat. Like
the shoe a self looks like moist red cupcake. The
you can't say that word on radio. I can say moist.
You can't say that. We just people crazy. I said
a big dong a few minutes ago, and they were
playing it back. Yeah, but when you say big dog,
people just kind of smile with moist. People shift in

(01:48:21):
their chairs uncomfortably moist. And the shoelaces look like licorice.
The white part of the sneaker on the bottom looks
like cream or frosting. I mean, it's like a shoe.
I want to eat. It looks so good dong of
the night, and I just want to eat it. The
shoe it looks that look it's available on the first

(01:48:47):
of September, So quick turn around here. Well, I hang
on a second. One thing, Wait a minute, So I
wait a minute so you can announce the shoe, show
it and three days later have the shoe come out. Wow,
but that's it's not the well. But this might be

(01:49:09):
nine months, it's not nine development and getting it turned around.
I mean, that's how long you have the long ard.
That's why you don't. You don't announce the shoe and
say nine months later your shoe coming. But this is
when you're crowdsourcing to get your materials and to get
your is in his garage sewing sneakers up. This is

(01:49:29):
what size twelve and a half? All right, I'll make
it myself. It might be you don't know it's it's
possible that that's there. But certainly I would argue that
anybody that bought the shoes being used as the float,
that's it. Nike's got such a distribution model and millions

(01:49:50):
of dollars of sales that they can turn this around
and they can say here's the design, and the factory
can be up and running twelve hours later. Get him on,
get him over, Getting now. I see, okay, but it
takes time, takes developments. Here is a new shoe by
one of the biggest stars in the NBA, and it's aft.

(01:50:11):
He is not compling them together. If you can announce
saying three days later, hey, here's the shoe. So basically,
you had a shoe that was announced five months ago
that is still three months away from coming out. Kevin
Durant announces a shoe five months later and it's gonna
come out three months before. They're really having a problem
with the idea of being industries ran to build your

(01:50:35):
own brand in business, and and all you're doing is
kicking sand in LaVar Ball's face. I just wanted to
talk about a shoe. I wanted to eat, and you
wanted to bring the shoe. And that's where we're at.
It not real velvet, right, I know you know that.
I don't care. That just looks really good. It's it's
no wait wait wait, there's no horse meat. There's a

(01:50:59):
leather the legends we cut it off the sad and
it's a good looking shoe. I gotta look. I'm gonna
call it when a shoe looks great and what a
shoe does. And I'm not one of those people who goes, oh,
what new shoe is out? I hate it. I hate it.
No procure you a pair of these? Would could we

(01:51:19):
get you to eat them? Eat them? I could try
to eat him. I could try to care about you
wear it. I mean, I'll try to eat I'll look
like Georgie animal Steel trying to eat the turnbuckle. You're wearing.
The shoes does absolutely nothing for the show. Well, now
you're here's the guy wearing the red cupcake velvet cupcake shoes.
But it looks like that's not healthy. Here's the creamy frosting,

(01:51:40):
and then there's the red velvet part, and there's the
liquor and the liquorice would be my least favorite part.
But it looks like for when it's game Warren Jason, Okay,
I gotta wait and eat a game Warren sneaker. I
don't know that guy what he was Wait, wait, who's wait?
Who's is Wait? Is Ryan wearing the shoe? No, Katie

(01:52:01):
is after a game, all right, because if Rex is
wearing it, you know, I mean you don't know, well,
I don't know where it's been, but you're assuming he
wears shoes. Really beautiful fee. For many businesses, hiring is tough,

(01:54:31):
in the middle of me saying something you know that
that just sounds like, oh, it's you know, taken out
of context. It's time for you to start thinking about
your word choice is maybe a little bit better. Like
when Letterman would do uh, the late night Unfair edit.
He always would do it with Schwarzenegger. He would just
edit stuff together, so Schwarzeneger would say things like, I
will not rest until California is spiraling downward into oblivion. Yeah,

(01:54:57):
it's late night unfair. I feel like, you know, if
you get me saying that's a big I'm not gonna
say because you have it already. Yeah, that I get.
But you know you kind of manufactured a little bit sometimes. Well,
isn't that part of it? It's part of the camaraderie
and teamwork that goes on here to see how much
of a jackass they can make you or I look like.

(01:55:17):
Isn't that Alex Tischert's that official job and you were
to put a subtitle next to the official title of
technical producer. Isn't that part of your job descriptions? That's
how it's gonna go. H. It was keep us humble yea,
or keep you humble? Okay, I'm a humble man with
tremendous calves. Uh. Time now for the play that before

(01:55:39):
you get to something really crazy and it involves porn.
Uh coming into tonight. The Kansas City Royals not scored
intree innings. How about that things were pretty dire, but
the drought is over. At forty five innings, the Royals.

(01:56:00):
He broke through with a run against the Tampa Bay
Rays on their way to winning six to When you
do that, that is the play of the Nights can
win it while struck pretty well by wit Marryfield down
the left field line into the corner and God and
the drought is over. It ends at forty five innings

(01:56:24):
as the Royals have scored for the first time since
last Thursday. And it's a long time Royals Radio network
on the call. Despite the fact the Royals are still
just now a game under five hundred, there in the
thick of it for the second wild Card. Right now,
the Yankees have a five game lead on the Orioles

(01:56:46):
or I have have a three game lead on the Twins,
who have a two game lead on the Orioles. So
right now they're still in the despite the fact they
haven't scored in almost a week. They're still in the
thick of it. You're still in the game, and the
naturally it eventually you'll score. You keep well, he can't
have the drought go that long. Eventually you will score.

(01:57:07):
Remember you said that, Mike Carmen, because we're not done
with the Kansas City. Yeah, you know you were were
smithing here, we're choosing our words carefully. TMZ has this
story about Royals general manager Daton More. He was talking
to the media about pitcher Danny Duffy's d u I.
Boy say that three times fast. Danny Duffy, who was
passed out in a burger King drive through, didn't get

(01:57:30):
busy in a burger King bath busy in a burger
King bathroom. T J passed out in a drive through.
It never stopped me from getting busy. I'm a freak.
I'm the one with the He was talking to the
media about Danny Duffy's d u I. It was asked
if there were quote educational protocols in place to help

(01:57:52):
keep other players out of trouble. This is when More
revealed team programs to educate players about the dangers of drugs,
alcohol and poor and alcohol have ruined. The last part
of it is porn. More goes on to say, they

(01:58:15):
talk about pornography, the effects of what that does to
the minds of players, distractions that can lead to, in
in extreme cases, instances of abuse. This is what Moore
says um and also went on to say the team
discusses how porn impacts relationships. The goal is to help
his players become better people, husband's, brothers, and teammates. That's deep.

(01:58:41):
How do you have the conversation about porn, about porn
impacting relationship. Here's how porn can impact your relationship. If
you're watching porn on a computer and your girlfriend catches you,
that's going to be very awkward. I mean that's like
in all the movies, right, that's what happens. Guy gets
called why no, no, no, I was anything, It was out,

(01:59:01):
Oh no. But then you turn and you point to
the green and you say, here's what I'm envisioning. This
is where you need to be the cheerleader and I'm
the football player. This is where I deliver a pizza
and you answer the door, you invite me in, say
you don't have any money, How can I pay you?
And I say I have an idea. We hit the music. Now,

(01:59:22):
if they used that night that move in more than
one movie, is that stealing in intellect the propertydata Once
you use the pizza guy move once, I don't know
they can't copy that, can look? I gotta be honest,
I don't know they've ever seen a porno movie where
a pizza guy actually delivers a pizza. But for as
long as you and I have been alive, because that's

(01:59:43):
been the move, maybe I seem to have forgotten my pants.
I always that's not a problem. I always I always
wonder why people wind up there's so many people delivering pizza,
like they think that could happen. I would always be
suspicious of a woman who us to get with the
person delivering pizza. I mean it could be Yeah, I

(02:00:03):
mean you could get with anybody. It may be an
uber driver who shows up. Did your call for an uber?
You know? You can have them deliver food, you know,
and you can have them deliver McDonald's. Yeah, listen, no, no, no,
I don't want to get busy. I just want you
to drop off a big Mac and some fries and

(02:00:25):
a splash a club soda. Club soda with a splash,
it'll get the stain out. Get it right, Frostberg. I mean,
this has got to be the most awkward conversation ever
that you're having with you. Here's how we handle our
road trips. There is a lock on all of your computers.
Why does it say firewallach? Coach? Can you help me

(02:00:47):
as this firewall? Firewall firewall I heard of that one
that was pretty good. That's why, I mean, can you
imagine what you're like? You're a player, and then we
want to talk to you about the dangers of porn.
They're going, here's a nineteen five educational film starring Wilfred Brimley.
You Don't Say in the History of Pornography takes us

(02:01:10):
back to the first film in nineteen fifty six called
Debbie Does Nothing. It's forty five minutes of a woman
in a bikini walking on a beach. This is a
one piece that comes all the way down to our ankles.
