night with the Raiders, a big night with the ram Us,
but maybe nobody had a bigger night then the New
York Mets. Signing Brandon Nemo David Robertson. They will be
(01:07):
the first team in baseball history to enter opening Day
with a three hundred million dollar waste of money. Look
at this, we are We're gonna buy the World Series
that's all about it? What do you need? What kind
of check can I make out? We're gonna buy the
world series. I like aggressiveness right as much as we
(01:29):
mock it. And it was funny because I was over
at the holiday gathering across the street, or the I
Heart Radio Premier family getting together. Uh, I was sunk
on a game of shuffle board. I was teamed up
with Don Martin or our buddy and our boss, and
Julie Talbot, a bigger boss, was playing alongside me. Two
(01:51):
teamed up with LaVar Arrington, and Julie made the shot
that will live in my head for a long long
time to fell me. So I'm a little salty about it.
But as I was leaving, Kevin Wire, who you here
on updates here on the on the network. Well no, no, no,
no no. He was there and he had his Rams
sweatshirt and he was all jacked up. All of a sudden,
he goes, hey, by the way, good luck. Nemo just
(02:13):
resigned with the Mets, Like, what are you doing to me?
I was in a good mood. I'm talking about, you know,
some stuff maybe we could work on and and some meetings.
Maybe you and I can take to keep building the
profile and brilliance of this here program as everybody should
download it. Hey, go and and download it, take the
link and put it in the greeting card. I mean,
(02:35):
there's your holiday seven days a week of programming of
oral brilliance, no question about it. But I'm all happy
and excited. And then it's like, now it's gonna be
about the bleep in Mets Agan. Yeah, and then it
was Baker Baker Baake. Remember when we had our guys
(02:56):
softied from Seattle on kJ R, when Gino had that
big breakout moment and in the middle of any response
he would just pause, take a deep breath, and start
yelling jah. Like that's today Baker Baker and all the
folks that have done everything they can to disparage the man,
mock the man. You had nothing that you could do
(03:18):
in this regard except tip your cap for the effort
that he put down the stretch. Now that doesn't mean
you don't mock the Raiders, lampoon the Raiders for some
bad plays, some dumb penalties, uh, and giving up a
yard drive to Baker Baker to lose. But it is
his moment to shine. Oh look at that I've taken
(03:41):
an unscientific poll of of Los Angeles sports fans, and
right now, Baker Mayfield is the most popular athlete in
l A mor sol than Clayton Kershaw and Lebron James
and Anthony Davis. I think Magic Johnson just no looked
past upside your head, Baker, Baker Bay We're or a
note for a nine for a nine for it. But
(04:02):
you know what the old rule of thumb, maybe every
day is a chance of greatness. Go one and oh today,
and Baker Mayfield, you just made Derek Carr and all
the souls of Raider fans cry. You just made Derek
Carr in New York jet. Congratulations, Maker may Well. Actually
(04:24):
that is a legitimate question for you right now. Smith,
would you rather see Mike White lining up under center
next year or Derek Carr? Okay, Mike Quest. Davante Adams
is not walking through that door with him, and don't
forget he can't even get him the ball. Sometimes start
me off on something easy, Mike White or Zach Wilson.
Start me off with that one, Mike White or a
(04:45):
rebuilt retooled No, no, just Zack Wilson. Just give me
the name no, give me Mike White, right, give me
the next one now, Mike White, or the return of
Ryan Fitzpatrick. Hey, he was running patterns after the game
was over on Amazon's coverage. He may still be a
little spry. He may want to get back in the league. Baker,
winning a game like this might look around going I
(05:08):
got a shot. Hey man, if this guy left him dead,
man he was he was so incredibly terrible. He got
beat out by a guy that was an XFL quarterback.
Hey man, I could get back in the game. Maybe
I jumped a TV a little bit too soon, like
I'm Jason Witten. Maybe I should have stayed in the
game for an extra year. Or now, can I throw
one thing out? Because we we do our fantasy takes
(05:30):
and and I do the podcast with Dan Buyer that
I watch reflex um. This is the last week of
the regular season for a lot of people in their leagues.
Or maybe you're in a guillotine league and you just
won the bidding on a guy like Davante Adams. That
ten point one from your w R one ain't cutting it. Yeah,
I'm not happy with that, Mike Harmon. Yeah, And I
(05:53):
wonder if I wont Davante Adams, and I got Nick
Chubb and I got Dalvin Cook. I mean, I'm so happy,
but yeah, I was looking more for more than ten
points or Davante Adams, that's for sure. So I am
for a very minimal bid. I picked up Derek Carr, thinking,
all right, the base will be okay. I left him
on the bench justin Herbert will be my quarterback, U
your center on Sunday against the Dolphins. But there was
(06:17):
that moment of hesitation, can he put up a big game?
And I decided no, no, he will not put up
a big game. I could not have believed it would
be a terrible as it ended up being hundred thirty
seven yards eleven of twenty two kind of two interceptions,
you know. And the thing is for the Raiders is
and and the Raiders and and the Saints both did
(06:38):
the same exact thing on Monday night. When when a
game gets long, it the invariably you're gonna allow a
team to get back into it. And by that I
mean when you keep going three and out, three and out,
three and out and off. But defense, you're not giving
up anything. You fall you get lulled into this, well,
the defense are gonna come out, give us the ball back.
(06:59):
We're gonn run a few play as, takes some time off,
maybe get a field goal. We're just we're just gonna
We're content to go win this game the way we are.
We're not gonna mess around with anything. We're content with
how the game is going. We're just gonna go win.
And that's you saw with with the Saints right mark
Ingram could have run for a first down, bulldozed his
way to a first down with five minutes left to go. Instead,
he runs out of bounds. They have to put the
(07:19):
ball back to the Bucks when they could have taken
at least two minutes, two more minutes off the clock,
and maybe that first down ends the game. They just
decided that we have this game. We're just gonna go
out and execute our way all the way through. And
Brady got mad, and I'm gonna lead you down in
a touchdown. Now we're fired up, and now a team
that's had control for fifty five minutes is back on
its heels. They get a three and out stop, they
(07:40):
go down and get a touchdown. Same thing tonight. The
Raiders are in complete control of this game. The Rams
were terrible. They kept going three and out, three and out,
three and out. They had a hundred yards of offense
going to the fourth quarter. It was like watching a
Zach Wilson led Jets offense. And then what happens at
the end. Suddenly the Raiders stay lacks. Well, they haven't
gone down the field on us all game long. No, no, no,
(08:00):
now they do it. We commit bad penalties because we
had played and and gotten into a lull for so long.
When the game amped up a bit, we weren't ready.
We weren't ready to match that energy and match what
the Rams were doing. Same thing happened both these games.
There is I mean, I don't know how many times
you look in the history of the NFL, we've seen
two games where teams have overcome a thirteen point deficit
(08:22):
in the final five minutes. And we had one on
Monday and one on Thursday. Because those teams decided to
fall asleep. And that's how it goes, right, And that's
exactly right now. That's what we saw tonight, and that's
what we saw on Monday night from both of these games. Yeah,
I mean, you go down down in the line. We
broke it down a little bit last hour, but audience
always changing. Uh and if you missed it, just like
the old Thursday night and BZ programming, it's new to
(08:44):
you for anybody else to recap, because I still say it.
I keep seeing Jerry Tillery as the guy that has
to be the villain. He's one of the players. He's
sure as l isn't in the starring role of any
of this. No, Josh McDaniels is the villain. He he'll
he will stay the mivill Jerry Till, Josh McDaniels will
remain the villain in this one. Artillery the unsportsmanlike conduct
knocking the ball out of Baker's hand after a sack
(09:08):
and in force. There they were still at the twenty
eight yard line, their own twenty eight yard line. They
still had seventy two yards to gain to score the touchdown.
You have a scronic thirty two yard completion on the
next play. Is that Hillary's fault? Yeah, he didn't get
to the quarterback that time, so it's his fault. Then
(09:30):
it passed to Brown for nine yards. Is that his fault? Yeah,
let's blame him there too. About another one, another eight
yard completion spike They were able to spike the ball
with sixteen seconds should he be should he have been
able to dive underneath and get his hand under. I mean,
people are ridiculous. It's his fault. He should be caught. No, no, no, no, no,
no no. You had three drives that were three and
(09:53):
outs in the second half. You had a total of
fifty seven yards on twenty plays. You threw the ball
during that period once to Davante Adams three for what
seventy three to start the game in the first half,
and then you've got one target before the hail Mary
(10:13):
attempt at the end. Okay, so two targets, Oh great,
second one doesn't really count, does it when you're throwing
into nine guys. No, it's it's awful, awful football. Congratulations
Jacobs right near a hundred yards again. Uh still played
after having some questionable tags on injuries. But you gave
(10:33):
this game away. You gave this one away for the
fourth time. A ten point lead plus coming out of
halftime and offensive ineptitude and defensive breakdowns against the guy
that just showed up. We made the argument very loudly, hey,
Baker will be just fine, and obviously you picked the
(10:54):
perfect opponent to have his first appearance against. Because these
guys failed miserably. Raider Nation, Cry, Cry Cry. It's an
old country song to look it up, Raiders gonna look.
You know, I'm sick and tired of making predictions about
the Raiders and it's turning out the exact opposite. So
(11:16):
now you know, I like to I like to say, hey,
I could be the intelligence insider, right like I said
earlier this week, Um, now I'm gonna do this for
the Raiders because whatever I think about the Raiders and
what I say, the opposite happens, because that's what the
Raiders do. Right. Hey, they're starting out the season, the Raiders.
They gotta they got, they got Davonte Adams. They're gonna
be terrific. Oh, they're gonna start out great authenticity. And
what happens? They start out kind of slow. Okay, what's
(11:39):
gonna happen? Now, Well, the Raiders are gonna Raiders are
gonna take off now at some point, no, no, no,
they start losing. Okay, hey, Raiders, their season looks like
it's about to end. They lost to Jeff Saturday in
the Cults. That's it, man, The Raiders are just done Instead,
they go and win three games in a row, and
(11:59):
now it back in it and they're coming into Thursday
night and they're about to take on the Rams, who
are done for the season. They signed Baker Mayfield. And
what did I say last night? Man, I tell you
I love the Raiders. Tonight they're gonna keep the train rolling.
They're gonna crush the Rams. The Rams season is over.
The Raiders are hot. They win this one, thirteen no, no, no. Instead,
they find a way to blow it in the final
(12:20):
five minutes in lose seventeen sixteen. So from now on,
whatever I think about the Raiders, I'm gonna stop and
say I'm gonna say the exact opposite. So if I
think the Raiders are gonna win a big game, oh boy,
everything points them winning next one, I'm gonna say, nope,
they blow this game and lose it. I'm gonna wind
up being right because whatever whatever I say, Raiders are
always good a Raider, whatever they're good, whatever you think
(12:41):
they're going to do, they're gonna do the exact opposite.
And it's not always bad Raider. Raider gonna Raider doesn't
always mean oh boy, they're gonna blow it. It's not
like Met's gonna met. But sometimes it's like, hey, all
their season is done, they're gonna quit, stick a fork
and then they'll get a new quarterback next year. No, no no, no,
Just when you're counting out, they win three games in
a row to get back in the periphery of the
playoff race. Okay, okay, okay. Now, so Raiders gonna raider.
(13:02):
It means they're gonna do the exact opposite of what
you think. Always. That's what I'm gonna do from now.
Whenever i think i'm gonna stop, I'm gonna say, wait,
that's what I think. I'm going the other way, and
I'm gonna be right about the Raiders every single time.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart
(13:24):
Radio app Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with
My best friend Mike Harmon. Any first responder will tell
you never try to beat a train. After breaking could
take a mile for a train to completely stop. So
when you come to a rail crossing stop, because trains can't,
you know, to be a fan just for a couple
of seconds here before we get to the Hodell Beckham
Insiders story. You know, I I when I remember when
(13:47):
I was younger, and you know now that I've gotten
older and I've seen the Jets lose for a decade,
you know that. Well, well, I mean they basically have
done nothing but losing for a decade, which is why
this year is so great. Uh. You know what once
I got out of that, and look you're talking about
my entire forties, was the Jets didn't win a bleeping game.
So I remember vividly, just games that would just make
(14:09):
me physically and mentally despondent and felt like I need
a break. I can't watch that. I can't watch me
to break from this team. And you know now, you know,
now that I'm my fifties, I'm like, okay, I could
take the good times good. When the bad times come, boy,
they stink, but I can let him go a little
bit easier. But man, I'll tell you what, if I'm
a Raiders fan, I can't imagine how you stick with
(14:31):
the team after some of the losses they've had this year. Right,
they kick it off when you think everything is gonna
be great in the early part of the season, that
huge lead against the Cardinals late in the fourth quarter
and they blow it and they lose in overtime, and it's, oh,
that's really heartbreaking, man, that's Raiders gonna Raider. Okay, but alright, alright,
it happened, but maybe maybe it won't happen again. And
(14:53):
then you know, when you're facing the Colts, they have
a new head coach, a guy that you have no
idea if he knows what he's doing. You, Oh, and
you'll lose to Indianapolis, who's a bad football team. And
it's how do you lose to a team that fired
a head coach and brought in a guy that was
on television until the owner called and said, hey, come
in and be my head coach. And then you lose tonight.
(15:13):
After you get all the after you figure i'm cutting
bait on the Raiders, I'm done, I'll tune back in
next season. They win three games in a row. You
get back on you're wearing your Raiders gear, you're all setting,
you got the shoulder pads with the with the spikes
on it, you're painting your face black and silver. You're
all excited. And they go and they lose the Baker Mayfield,
who was with the team for about a day and
(15:34):
a half and maybe new thirty plays. Maybe maybe because
that's all the Rams gave him to study before he started.
Maybe this is who you lost to you, who you
allowed to go down the field twice in the final
five minutes of this game to win. I really I
don't know how you continue on being a Raider fan
after these losses this year. This is just you know what,
(15:54):
I'm gonna throw my TV out the window and I'm
gonna watch college basketball until we get to the point
where a free agency is coming in. Then I'll get
back and pay attention to the Raiders In the NFL.
It always comes back to consistency and loyalty and recognizing
that you know some Sometimes it's not your decade work
(16:16):
two or three, Because think about the Raiders other than
the uh Rich Gannon run. What do you got yet?
You're loyal, yet you're filling up so far, Yet you're
loud and getting after it. So I think as you
get get a bit older, Look, if you're a teenager, okay,
that's fine, You're still gonna have some of that stuff
into your twenties. Get older, get a life, get some responsibilities.
(16:42):
The losses are gonna wash over you a lot better
in that locker room. Maybe not. We haven't had any
reports of anything being destroyed before they left. But yeah,
if you're a fan, I would like to think that
at some point you just pause and recognize it's a
game that you didn't play. Now, maybe you lost a
(17:03):
ton of money on it. I'm sure plenty of folks
had the Raiders minus six and a half who are
now salty as hell. But life goes on, raids country,
let's cry, but act. There's also you know, that identity
(17:24):
with a fan and a fan base that you have
the not why not us? Right? Why not us? The
whole United States men's national team that you tried to
espouse for a brief time there, James, You did really
work to that, But it goes back the other way
where you just kind of, you know, surrender and then
(17:46):
Shaw Shank redemption style. It's like you're standing in a
rain not because it's redemptive and cleansing, but no, it's
now a miserable, rainy, stormy night and you're yelling, going
why or you're Lieutenant Dan in the storm yelling? Is
that all you got Twitter and out about a fresca
(18:07):
might get swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike car But I got Lieutenant Dan in
You did get that's Lieutenant dad Fried shrimp shrimping a basket.
Brought you ice cream? Yeah, ice cream, Derek Carr ice cream,
ice cream, Derek car feel better, feel better, Derek Carr,
(18:28):
ice cream. He puts it, Well, that's what I do.
I offer the girl's dessert. I got ice cream. Uh
So we'll have more on this, and and a comparison
with Baker Mayfield and another NFL quarterback that's just gonna
make you flip coming up in a few minutes. But
my favorite story of the day. You know, there's NFL
(18:49):
insiders and then there's NFL insiders, because you know, not
many NFL insiders are this guy. We're going to talk
about his scat next. H Odell Beckham has been making
his tour around the National Football League, you know, visiting
with the Cowboys. He's got the Giants, he's got the Bills,
and everybody wants nowhere is he gonna wind up going. Well,
(19:11):
there's a new insider that says he's not going to
the Cowboys. His name is Daniel lle This from the
New York Post. Name Well. He goes on social media
with the moniker of Danny Boy hustle Hard. That's just,
that's just, that's his handle on instat Danny Boy hustle
(19:32):
Hard with news on Odell Beckham Jr. We want a
Danny Boy hustle Hard. Danny, what do you have? Did
you say nudes? Like it was big nude kickoff? So
Daniel shell A right is Danny Boy hustle hert on
social media? You can't say it with a strange kid.
It's so hard to say none word hustle Hard. Joining
(19:54):
us now is Adam Schefter, Todd McShay and Danny Boy
hustle Hard with the latest in the NF. He's got
the inside. It's gonna be good. Aaron Rodgers could be
leaving the Green Bay Packers. Danny Boy hustle Hard. What
are you hearing from? So? Who is this dude that
(20:15):
was in the sea blog? He's is Tom Brady coming back?
Danny Boy hustle Hard says, no way. So I don't
know why I need to say it's so fast, but
I feel like I do. Danny Boy Hustle Hard. Uh.
He is the quote official driver of Odell Beckham Jr.
(20:35):
Say Kwon Barkley and other NFL players, according to his
Instagram bio and uh he decided, Hey, you know what,
I'm gonna go all NFL insider here and went on
Instagram and said, hey, you guys want Odell Beckham information.
I know where Odell is not going. Here's his post
(20:55):
from brand new NFL Insider Danny Boy Hustle Hard. People
thought was going for the Cowboys, right? Can you tell
you people something? I'm better than Adam Scheff. I'm better
than Jordan Schultz's not caring a Cowboys one of your
(21:16):
where he's going. That's a friend of the show, Jordan's Schultz.
He's better that. It's better than you. I'm better than you.
I'm better than something like you wanted to do after
w w E promo, better than if and Jordan's Schultz.
I love. I'm out here running SmackDown for three months.
(21:40):
I actually I'm coming for you, Laser and you Rosenthal.
I'm getting all you got. How many phone books can
I actually d m Jordan Schultz a few minutes ago,
going hey, dude, are you still a really big NFL inside.
Could he respond no, not yeah, we maybe sleep. Response
(22:01):
to that, he tweet quote tweeted the guy, it's amazing
if you want. Oh, no, Schultz is the best. You kidding,
he's the best. Uh So he says, I'm better than
than move over Blank and Adam Schefter, Jordan Blank and Schultz.
Odell's not going to the Cowboys? Where's he going to listen?
Right here? So he's a new school NFL insider who
(22:24):
doesn't mind cursing. Also should probably turn the radio off
in the background when he's recording something, because you don't
want to compete with you, saying he already had the
radio one behind with her. We have a we have
a pilot on the four oh five behind he's talking about. Yeah,
(22:46):
he's not going to the Blank and Cowboys, that's for sure.
So there you go, NFL insider Danny Boy hustle hard
hits he's not going to the Cowboys. Well, it sounds
like a thirty rock skin like like if they're going, Hey,
what's what's NFL gonna look like twenty years in the
future where NFL insiders are just anybody like a guy
that saw somebody on a plane or someone who was
(23:08):
a limo driver or this guy. Yeah, they're NFL inside.
I can tell you told me he's not going there,
and I just asked him. He told me he's night
not going to the cowboys. What it is, Danny boy,
hustle hard, Get those clicks man, roll them over. Get
everybody on you right there, Danny boy, hustle hard. D
b h h. That's we go. I just go by
dB h h. Now that's me, dann Have we confirmed
his connection? And blank you haman. I don't make things
(23:33):
up people longing, Jill, Hey, sorry, I jumped the gun
on that Odell. That would be funny if he said then, sorry,
jumped the gun on Odell not going to the cowboys.
That was the shelter spun laughing, going this is gold.
And I never said Odell was going to the uh
you know insider. Here's the question. Now, is he still
(23:55):
the driver to these NFL starts after this? After I
want to O'Dell's not going to the cowboys? Like? Was
this something that he did and it was, oh, dude,
I can't. I can't have you telling my business like
you can't be my driver anymore? Or was this something
that was that was hatched with Odell and him, Hey,
you know, I wasn't real happy with the Cowboys talking
about me the way they did, and Jerry Jones saying that,
(24:19):
you know O'Dell not working out. You know, we don't
we We signed a guy who never worked out before.
It didn't work out for us. We don't know what
he can contribute to us. And this is Odell getting
back at him without actually Odell getting his hands dirty
on it. Hey, Johnny Boy hustle Hard, Hey, Danny Boy, Hey,
what sorry? So I meant to say Dan and Johnny,
I'm sorry. Listen, you can put out there on your
social media account there that I'm not going to the Cowboys,
(24:40):
just don't say my name, alright, let me see it
before you send it out and then put it out
there because it's I don't know, it's kind of coincidental
that the Cowboys seemed to pooh pooh Odell Beckham And
now here you have Danny Boy hustle Hard saying Odell's
not going to the Cowboys. Pretty interesting. Well, and then
O'Dell was part of the shop, you know, the Thursday
night football fun and excitement, Lebron James and do Live streaming.
(25:04):
I know Cam Jordan was a little mad at the
picture they selected to promo his appearance. But Odell quote,
I don't feel like Sa Kwan and I got to
do what we're supposed to do. So maybe uh hustle
hard has it right? Lemonate the Cowboys and O O'Dell
is kind of raised in his hand, going, I might
be going home, Adam Schefter, what what do you have
(25:27):
for us? Let me be clear, the Cowboys are not
going to sign Odell Beckham Jr. The Giants will sign
Sa Kwan Barkley to a contract extension. Okay, that's not
what we're getting from Danny Boy. Hustle RT. Danny Boy,
what do you have for Yeah? That's Chef three doesn't
know what he's talking about. I got Sa Kwan right here.
He says he's going free agent. He says he's going
to the Jets. How about that? Stay here for more updates,

it is not necessarily your aptitude. It's whether you'll give

he was on fire. No I said meat. Oh yeah, true.
(27:43):
Excuse me? Where can I get h McRib sir? This
is Disneyland, bring it in from down the street. Where
can I get him? Mc rib You can't bring anything
in there? Sure you can. You can bring food in,
water security, what you loved my you know what? No,
if you can, you can't bring No, No, dude, you can.
(28:07):
You can bring in especially if you have kids, you
can bring ye. They'll look through your backpacks. Yeah, I say, hey,
I'm here. This is what I want right now. It's
going so tonight Baker Mayfield goes twenty two out of
thirty five for to thirty and a touchdown and and
(28:30):
it's a big come from behind victory and he goes
on the yard drive with less than two minutes left
to go and no time. I mean, I don't know
that there's been a better and bigger moment in Baker
Mayfield's career than what he did tonight. When you talk
about the national spotlight doing what nobody thought he could do,
(28:50):
and with no time outs at the end, with no
offensive weapons whatsoever, he goes and does it. I know
we got the Browns into the playoffs, and that's a
really big deal. But I don't know he's had anything
better than what he's at tonight. And he's been with
the team for a day and a half. Right, he's
had thirty plays. I keep saying that because that's what
the Rams gave him. Hey, on the flight to l A,
why don't you study here's three plays we'd like you
(29:13):
to know so you could start a quarterback on Thursday night.
This is fantastic, kidd me. This is chaos. This is
if the Jets weren't winning, I'd be really mad that
after being with a team for a day and a half,
a guy could be better than Zach Wilson that's been
in the same system for a year and a half
now and still doesn't know when to throw the football.
But then we have Mike White, So I'm okay. I
(29:33):
mean it's not like Baker Mayfield is Mike White. I mean,
come on, but just think about this for a second. Okay,
the last time Russell Wilson had a game that you
can compare, say this was as good a game as
Baker Mayfield had. Okay, it's good a game. This is
two thirty and a touchdown, twenty two out of thirty five.
(29:54):
The last game Russell Wilson had that you could say
was this good was October second, Okay, also against the Raiders.
So congratulations, here's your way. Uh so think about that
for a second, right that Russell Wilson. This is how
bad it's been for Russell Wilson. Now, when's the last
(30:14):
time Russell Wilson put more points on the board than
Baker Mayfield? October? The Broncos haven't scored more than seventeen
points in the game in two months. This is how
they had to buy in there. So okay, and Russell
Wilson's missed a game, okay, But the last Russell Wilson,
the last time he put more than sixty points on
(30:37):
the board was at the end of October. This is
how bad I feel bad, Like, why is Russell Wilson
is he's duck doing anything today except you know, jogging
at thirty thou feet you know, but why? But no,
this is what you bring in because this is someone
who was the franchise in the future, and the Broncos
gave up so much for me, and you're seeing Baker
Mayfield come in being with a team. I don't even
(30:58):
think it was a real jersey. He wore probably some
some replica they bought and they ironed on Mayfield just
so we can get out there and play. And he
goes for two thirty and the game winning drive and
he throws up he throws a tear drop to Jefferson
for the touchdown in the end zone. Let's see shop
official Rams merchandise here, where's the picture of the Baker
jersey actually trending players? The first guy is Tyler Higbee. Um,
(31:24):
he had two catches for eleven yards, not him. Look,
it's amazing when it is the Raiders and you can
take that with the gran AsSalt as you will. Doesn't
doesn't take away from how quickly Baker assimilated into this
language and offense that Sean McVeigh put together. I'm curious
to see what the encore is. This is a hell
