Happy Friday, Mike Carmon and here we are with a
couple of big things to let people know. Right off,
back for again into a big college football weekend. One thing,
it's a big an Plumber who is playing quarterback right
now for Louisville. Not related to Jake Plumber. Not Jake
Plumber's killy not Ja. No, you would think so, not
(01:14):
not even not even no, not a distant uncle Knight.
Not related at all, But you would think Jack and
Jake Blumber not related, not related.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I mean, I wouldn't necessarily say it had to be,
but you have to ask the question. Whenever we have
that surname and you're playing that, you know, same position,
we have to make some assumption. But then you got
to follow it up, you know, like big journalists that
we are here in sports Dock radio, Jason Smith, what.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
About not no, not Christopher Plumber either, what about I
love you, Pumpkin, I love you? Yeah? No, no, no,
and not no one who was an actual Plumber? No?
Is it not related? Jake? And although watching Jack Plumber
(02:02):
make a couple of throws tonight reminded me a little
bit of some of the throws Jake Plumber made during
his career, so I could see where the the little
bit of sameness came from. Right there?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Can we get him on to talk about mushrooms?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
No, man, I'll take it sum or not? Jack? Oh,
of course I can. I tell you oddly, all right,
let's start with a fun story. So when I was
at NFL Network And the last year I was there,
before before I before I came back here. By last
year I was there, we did a fantasy football like
a season opening event in New York City where we
(02:35):
had a big theater.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I remember that and sdubbed me.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I didn't even know you back then. I prob I
probably would have snubbed you, though, who are you? Was you? Hey?
Who let this guy in the noise in the purple shorts?
And I mean, he's not really come on, let's let
who is that guy? Who is that guy? He's got
a flag in his hand and everything he's waving in
It's Northwest. So we had this event that you were
there to was. It was in a theater and we
did it for three days and we had a whole
bunch of NFL players come and talk fit and we
(03:00):
sold tickets and or gave weight. I think we gave
weight tickets, gave way tickets people to come in and see,
and you know, it was it was a pretty cool thing.
And they had a list of NFL players who were
gonna come to do talk fantasy. This is now and
this is in twenty thirteen. I want to say, this
is about ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
So about the tipping point when they finally started to realize, hey,
this is good for both playing careers.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, that was like right after they told Tony Romo, Hey,
you can't do any fantasy football. What is wrong with you?
So they say, here's who's coming, Here's wh's come. We
have a bunch people work out, like Cordell Stewart was there,
and then Michael Irvin comes, everybody else and then our
manager says yeah, and Jake Plumber and Wayne Krebbett and
I'm like, whoa what Yeah, Jake Plumber and Wayne Corbett.
I'm like wow. So they said what they wanted to
(03:45):
do in between uh when we were taping shows was hey,
the people who came were going to come and ask questions,
and they wanted one fantasy personality with one player. They said,
pick who you want. So they all said, oh, well,
Jason's got to get Wayne Corbett's. I'm like okay, And
of course Wayne Corbett by the time he met me,
was scared because all he had to hear for twenty
minutes was oh my god, Jason's the biggest Jet fan
in the world. Oh my god, Jason's the biggest Jets
(04:06):
in the world.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
All right, Yeah, did you hold his hand for like
seven minutes?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
No? No, no, no, no. You know what the big play
we talked about was was a big half back option
touchdown that Curtis Martin threw to him. Uh in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Did you tell him how you would go Curtis Martin's hand?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
No, No, this is before this is this is before,
this is before the other guy. They said, okay, so tim,
who you want? They said, oh, I'll take Michael Irvan,
I'll tell I said, hey, I want to hang out
with Jake Plumber. And they're like, yeah, you go, yeah, dude,
the guy's a yetti Like I mean, Jake Plummer is
coming here. Seriously, Jake Plummer is coming. He's coming here.
He's coming here to talk about fantasy football. Okay, So
(04:41):
Jake Plumber shows up and he's wearing like this light
blue like a Valor type jacket, and I'm like, okay.
And we were hanging out talking football and he was
just a regular dude.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Was he on mushrooms?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, not as far as I know.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
But and he was just a regular dude talking football.
Knew everything about the game, all the stuff going on,
play here's all kinds. I'm going, why is this? Why
is he like the He's why is he the lock
ness monster of the NFL? I don't understand because.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
He read disappeared.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah. And if I said, I said, so, you can't
you come in and you staying in town tonight for
anything or or whatever? He goes, No, I flew in
this morning. I'm flying back late tonight. Is he go like, yeah, yeah,
I want to get back tomorrow. I'm good. I'm like, okay,
So he flew in the morning, you know whatever, he
got paid to do this on the day and then
flew out that night. Now just going back, just a
regular and the entire day, I'm like, he's gonna give
me something like, he's gonna give me something like okay,
(05:33):
hey you're out there, man, Hey you're No. I didn't
get anything of the mushroom farmer and all kinds. I
got none of that stuff. Oh, psilocyber. No, we didn't
talk about racketball at all or whatever. I do. Just
just was a regular dude. And I'm like, boy, they
say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but I really wanted
to meet a guy. He says, it's so weird and
he was a He was an average pretty good.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Maybe he just realized you were too square to take
down that road. He didn't want to freak you out.
I can't talk much room. He didn't know about the
keys and all those other things.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Now, I just pictured Jason as a square.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
This guy's wearing a suit. It's not happening, man, There's
no way I'm not gonna talk to this guy about it.
But it really I was sitting around all day like
watching him answer questions, going why is he not doing more?
What happened? Where's the bad? Where's the where's the tripped
them out? Man? It was like a movie. It was
like a movie happening.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
He thought you were He thought you couldn't hang so
he played it straight.

(07:04):
dot com. Well, we have Pete fu Tech College football
news inside or Extraordinaire stopping by in a few minutes
to talk all the big slate tomorrow, including USC and Colorado.
Got a lot of top twenty five teams hitting the
road this week. Got some big stuff to break down.
But this is this kind of hit me hard. Tonight
might hit me weird because I didn't think about this. Well,
(07:25):
first of all, I'm glad the Marlins won. So now
the Marlins can stop complaining that out the Mets groundscrew
is screwing them out of the playoffs, right skip Chumarcher
wanted to fight the Mets groundscrew guy one o'clock in
the morning last night. How do you not have this
field ready? The Marlin's won tonight, congratulates your magic numbers.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You still fight him. Although you know, if they'd really
stayed in New York another hour or two, they might
have been running into waves of floating rats.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Oh they rain, Yeah, you know yeah. I mean at
some point I want to go. You see what the
rain's going on here?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You see how bad this rain is? Do you want
to you wanted you wanted them to stop the rain out,
You wanted them to stop this rain. I get they
were mad from the other day when the Mets said, hey,
we forgot to put the tarp on the field, Sorry
about that. Sure, I think you're mad about that. But here,
what are we gonna do last night? What are you
gonna do? Hey? You know yea, oh sorry, yes, Steve
Cohen should had a dome built over the stadium, well
a week ago. I mean, what the hell? Man? But
(08:14):
the Marlins were.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Upset, right, but Mets caused the great powers beyond to
cry to no end.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Night.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Truly, the only explanation I have Mother Nature wasn't a
Mets fan and was so sorely disappointed.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
This is what you.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Got, uh, you know?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And I kind of when I kind of like a
little bit, then okay, well here we go, can get
a little bit of here. It's a disappointing season for us.
Now you gotta come back and play us on Monday,
which is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Jason, the real question is is how Taylor Swift is
going to get to the game Sunday. Is she gonna
take an arc or what?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Oh no, they're gonna get one of those boats like
you have down in the Bayou, Like, yeah, let's go boats.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
They're building a tackle that goes right from wherever she
is to the stadium and she gets to Nancy's.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
At the one from Portnoy's new house.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Nan Tucket.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But this is, you know, speaking of what we're getting
close now with teams clinching playoff berths and tonight with
that Marlins win, finally the Padres have gotten eliminated. The
Padres are like the like the mass killer from a movie.
Who did you think they're dead? They're not dead? No,
they're really dead. Now, no they're not dead. Well, they're eliminated.
All these articles coming out about what a bad influence
(09:32):
Mandy Macha is. They're eliminated, right, No, still alive. They
won seven in a row. But really things aren't going well,
they're gonna have to break that team up. Yeah, no,
it's still alive. They won eight in a row. Now, finally,
with the Marlins winning tonight, the Padres are eliminated.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
They were salivating over the opportunity to still be mathematically
alive going to Chicago to play the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Hey we got a chance, man, that's our rallying cry
last week to this week, stay mathematically alive. But now
that the Marlins won, the Padres are eliminated. And I
didn't really care one way or another about the Padres.
The Padrey what doesn't matter to me. Padres, It's just
another team, right, It's not an NLS team that I'm
gonna have to watch go to the World Series. But
(10:16):
when they got eliminated, I felt good because the Mets
and the Padres are the same. They're both teams that thought,
we can just spend a ton of money, throw a
bunch of guys out there, and we're just gonna win.
And if the Padres had won and gotten in, it
would show that the Mets really didn't know what they
were doing, really kind of. So now I kind of
liked the fact that, well, the Mets are out and
(10:38):
the Padres are out, So the Padres sit right next
to me for the postseason, because if they had gotten in,
I would have felt, you know, they did the same
thing way that they went out and just spent money
on guys and threw guys out there haphazard, not thinking
they needed to be a plan or there needed to
be some kind of flow to the offense, or let's
worry about the rule changes that now there's gonna be
more stolen bases and no more shift, Nana. They just
threw guys. How did they throw guys out there? And
(10:59):
it worked for them and it didn't work for me.
So I feel good about that. Now we're the same,
And I want you sitting next to me at home
watching the playoffs on the couch, watching the Red Sox
win the World Series. Saw I went moneyball on you.
But watching some team win the World Series, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
There there's some You take some solace in that, right,
particularly as you you did your best to try to
screw over the Marlins in this process that at least
one of the teams uh fell to the wayside. And
you both are gonna look different next year, right. You
may not have Pete Alonzo, which is just gonna be
weird if you see him.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Don't don't put that out there, don't put that out
there yet already out there, ye, well, tyser was gonna
go to break right there because you said something like
that that he was going to breaking news.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
That's how that was.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Don't say it's gonna happen until it actually happens.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I don't want it to happen. I think don't good.
All right, Well, but the I mean, Jan Soto allegedly
wants to go back to the East Coast. Could the
Mets decide to throw out a huge pile of cash
for him?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Who knows Dodgers first base.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Now you want to talk about listen, who would be
revered quickly because he he would be the everyman that
all the transplants from other cities that have come here
to Los Angeles and have been reticent to maybe shake
off the last vestiges of their hometown teams and fully
embrace the Dodgers. I think the polar Bear could make
them do that because he looks like the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Now, I will say this if it needs to be,
Hey we got an issue, Hey we got an issue.
Hey how about you give us wan soda? We give
you pe alonzoy? All right? Now, Okay, that's not a
big fan of it, but I'd be okay with that.
At least it'd be all right if that happened. Well, okay.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well you'll be okay either way. You'll be okay because
you'll be excited to the next thing, like you'll start
convincing yourself about Jets twenty four before.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Hey, uh, you know, not for nothing. But I'm pretty
sure Aaron Rodgers listens to the show after what happened
to me. Pretty sure he listens, right, yeah, Well.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
He teased it earlier, you know, and now it comes
to fruition.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
After I said what he needed to do. Now it
looks like he's listening. Look at that.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Well a big Slayton college football tomorrow, going to see
some big time contenders hit the road for the first time.
No one better to break it all down with than
the editor, proprietor owner Grand Pooba of College Footballnews dot
Com college Football News Insider Extraordinary petefeuw Tech. College Footballnews
dot Com is your one stop shopping for everything college football,
(13:48):
all the previews, all the analysis, and Petefeutach prepared for
his visit with us tonight by not listening to music
all week during practice. Just you know, to simulate what's
going on with Penn State and Northwestern getting ready for
a quiet road game, so with no music on, getting
ready for his appearance with US tonight.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
So hey, you mentioned all the big contenders around the road.
What about the home the contenders from big things with Syracuse?
You know that's obviously the game of the days.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, we're winning to our d beat our defenses, loaded
Garrett Traders, the best quarterback we had in twenty years.
We're handing them another el tomorrow, we are handing.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
I love we. Yeah, you've yet.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
You know, if you paid your tuition, you get the
leap you get.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, I paid you how much money I paid to
go to that bleep in school.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
I wouldn't say we, That is arule.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
I've had knockdowns, bragout arguments with this, but yes, if
you pay for the tuition, or if you went there
you have a graduate, you may save we. Everybody else
know I'm paying tuition for college right now. I am.
Those are my San Diego State Aztecs because I'm paying
for these people.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
So he you sound like a guy that lives near
Chicago and has been putting up with Notre Dame people forever.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Oh Michigan everywhere every Michigan fan like, oh we won
that game. Oh so when'd you graduate from high school?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Like yeah, no, well, but.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Then you start asking if there's ever a family member
that's been an associated with it, and they're still a no.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
No.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Even if you do, you still it doesn't count. I
have a friend, one of my best friends, the kids
going to Williams. It's only like the number one school
in the country according to us through the world reports,
and their brainwashes the Michigan a week. No, it's not.
You're going to like a good college. You're going to
like like that, but not Michigan anyway.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
But I digress.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's funny because so many times when I when someone
we ask somebody, hey, you mean, oh, where are your
kids in college? Where do they go? Anytime they said,
like they go to Oberlin or they go to Kenyon.
I go, oh, man, they go out to go They're
never going to a final four.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
There's exactly that's you know what my friend who went
to Harvard went to Harvard. He regrets not going to
like a Stanford or something like that. But what I'm
giving you is rainy day fodder either does Peter Rows
belonging to the Hall of Fame. Can I call my
team we and ken men over the age of like eighteen,
we're a Jersey Those are all easy, you know, the
(16:12):
topics of conversation for a rainy you know, just a
lonely like you know, mid and April day.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
All right, well, fortunately we have a big day tomorrow
and nothing bigger than the big nude kickoff, which I
believe happens at five am West Coast time. We get
Colorado and USC.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Look, the game's at ten o'clock in the morning, Pete,
I mean for local time for them, it's tenne Is
this just gonna affect USC at all? Do they win
forty eight to twenty one? Do they win fifty five
to twenty one?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
You know what?
Speaker 6 (16:40):
This is one of the Again, Colorado remains the most
fascinating investment opportunity each and every week, because look, last week,
I'm a believer you never ever, ever ever take the
over on a point total. It's seven year over. A
whole bunch of things have to happen for to get there,
And so last week I'm like, you know, that's the
(17:00):
one time where I think it's gonna happen, because Oregon's
gonna hang you know, sixty by itself, and it could have,
and then all of a sudden it just sort of stopped.
George sort of said.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
You know what, we're gonna We made our point. We're
not gonna You made your point.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Hans now pull back. Well, you know, he's the kind
they kind of decided to stop, and it's like, wait,
what are you doing here? You you could hang ninety
on the board on these guys and they just didn't
do it. I will be interested to see how this
works tomorrow, because you're right, I mean, if if USC
is really that good. By the way, I haven't played
anybody yet, so we're still waiting to see if they're
(17:35):
any good. If they're any good, they come in and
just they're getting off the bucks with sixty three. Uh,
you know on this defense. This defense is awful. But
let's see if Shador and those guys having something a
little different offensively this week. And I kind of think
they will.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Well that because that's the larger question, how how good
is Colorado really? For as much really everybody's jumped into
the store and divvied up the map and tried to
take their claim their place on campus, and we are
to the story.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
It is the It's apparently the most credentialed game in
the history of Colorado football. It's not like they've like
went to national championship games or anything like they used
to be good and so like all of a sudden,
everyone wants to come to this game because it's well,
I mean, it's Caleb and Chaudu or look, I mean
we might be dealing with this for the next fifteen
(18:26):
years of our lives at the next level. So like
this is this is this should be interesting, it should
be fun stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Spread's only a half point different from before the season.
There you go, yeah as well.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Yeah it makes sense too because I could see if
USC is really a title contender. We want to see
the defense on this one. Let's show up that path.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
But it's a bad mix because they they have a
path rush.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
And Colorado's offensive line is got awful, so they need
to just they should be jumping on Shooder's head all
game long.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
But if they.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Don't, that secondary is gonna get, you know, lit up
a little bit. So I'm really interested to see if
the Colorado team boss is saying, like, all right, that
we had our bad game.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Let's go, Pete futech College Footballnews dot Com with us
here Jason Spith Mike Harmon live from the TIREC dot
com studios. All right, Pete, now you know I want
to see Syracuse in the National championship. However, there's not
there's not yes, there's not a sweet because there's not
a lot I wouldn't give to see Kansas and Duke
play for the national championship in football. They both have
(19:29):
big games tomorrow. What are the odds one of those
teams is still undefeated by the end of the day.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
See, I take the different attitude. You get it basketball,
like you really need to give these people that too,
Like you've already gotten that, you know, do great. It's like,
you know, it's like saying Alabama was good at basketball
this year. Just no, no, no, not fair. You don't
get everything.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
But yeah, you know what that's Let's see if Duke.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Is really for I mean they're but for a couple
of fumbles, they don't beat Clemson, but they did. They
on it, they played great. But let's see because if
Notre Dame is still good, I mean, it's this whole
thought now that oh wow, Notre Dame's Norhames is still
in the thick of this. They lost close enough to
a good enough team where if they now they get
if they beat Duke, that's gonna be a resume builder
(20:16):
because of what they did get something they still get
to deal with the USC They still get some nasty
games down the road. So Notre Dame's still knee deep
in the college football playoff fun and it's not like
they're any worse just because the knee was an inch
off the ground a micro second before he got over. So, uh,
this would be this would be a humongous deal obviously
(20:38):
for college football if if Duke was able to pull
this off, and they might actually sell out the stadium
for this one.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Look at that. And then and then they get Ken Jong,
who won't be on you know, a reality show or commercial.
He's going to be a guest picker. So you got
all of that kind of going on.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Finally, that's we have that for us.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Well, you know you got you gotta have a big
time picker anymore. Kansas and Texas. Texas all the way
up at number three, two touchdown plus favorite. But it's
a game of rank squads. Kansas off to a pretty
good start the over under here at sixty one, Pete, Uh,
Texas just rolls at home, all live it up to
(21:17):
their press credentials at this point.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
But they haven't.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
I mean, the crazy part about it is you look
at me. They destroyed Kansas last year and before that,
even when Kansas was just got awful and Texas really
wasn't very good. But the previous five games is five
or six games, we're all by one score, and two
of them Kansas won. So it's I'm a believer of
(21:41):
this Kansas offense is the real deal. I do think
that it's gonna be one of those things where Texas
gets up, they're comfortable, and then if you take Texas
and all those points, you are hanging on for dear
life at the very end, because it might be like
thirty one to ten Texas. Okay, all of a sudden,
you go, you know, have a snack or something else.
A way to may here it's it's thirty. It's I
(22:04):
think Kansas is going to hang around a lot longer
than this than I think Texas would like.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
All right, Pete, we have a lot of teams. As
we said, going on the road this week, a lot
of national title contenders. Michigan's on the road, Penn State's
kind of on the road because this is going to
be signed. You know, shut up. Well, I'm gonna said, Hey,
it's gonna be silent, so we're gonna turn the music off. Yeah,
did you.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Watch and it's one of the Are you want to
have five people that saw the end of the Minnesota game,
by the way.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I did.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I watched it and I was celebrated thusly by the
way James Franklin again, as you know, against teams where
they're favored like this, it's been a problem for him.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Yeah, it should not be a problem for him in
this game because I don't think they're going to gack
like Minnesota. But that game is so many different ways.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
And PJ.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Fleck had an all time look on his face where yeah,
it was like a bemused, like are you kidding me?
Stupid team.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Well, when the guy covered the punt with two minutes
left and stepped in the end zone, that might have
been the worst thing this side of Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
John McKay had the classic line when he was at
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers what do you think of the
team's execution.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I'm all for it.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Well that was that was the exact look on PJ
Flex's face where he's like, my god, my boy, right,
like that's.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Just like.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
It was great.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
But I don't think Penn State has much of a problem.
But yeah, here's the thing though, that place, if you
you know how that plays rolled, it's gonna be all
Penn State fans. Oh yeah, so it's it's supposed to
be perfect. It's gonna be like seventy three and perfect.
Doug here tomorrow. Uh so yeah, e Lions fans are
going to show up for this.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
What was the other question you were asking, Jason, Well,
you tried to make because you decided to make fun
of me, sideswiping me.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
We talked about teams going in the route and Penn
State is kind of going on. It's more of a
neutral site for Penn State. Hate you. But you know,
George's on the road, right, we saw that we have
we have Washington on the road, Alabama's on the road.
If I said to you the team, you wouldn't be
surprised road upset tomorrow? What game would you give me? What? What?
(24:12):
What National title? Contender or team masquerading as contender. Right now,
would you say going on the road and can lose tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
I'm literally operating at four as a sleep so I'm
blanking on who's actually playing. That's all melting into one
big pot here. Let's you know what. So let's say
because there's always that one game every year, be it
Washington or be at Oregon where it's late night, everyone's sleeping,
the game's going on at like four in the morning
(24:42):
at certain parts of the world, and all of a sudden,
it's either Arizona or Arizona State that ends up doing
something wacky where this Arizona team is just funky enough
where they might be able to, you know, put up
spour n fifty yards of offense and hang around and
all of a sudden, the Washington juggernaut kind of slows down.
(25:03):
And then everyone wakes up the next morning and still
Washington's ranked ahead of Arizona because everyone went to bed
after you know.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
It's turned in their poles.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Just like by the way, we're in week three of
America held hostage by Tennessee, still being ranked ahead of
Florida by Digress. But yeah, I would say Washington Arizona.
That's just one of those Pac twelve games where it's
starting to look more and more. Let's see what happens
to the rest of this game tonight with Oregon State
Utah more and more like the home teams in the
(25:31):
Pac twelve just have a massive edge over those road teams.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Can we just get Cam Rising healthy something?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well?
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Yeah, this offense just plus now that you at least
Utah's making it fair by having all their guys get hurt.
I mean like that, that defense is absolutely incredible if
everyone was healthy. But they are just dropping left and
right unfortunately, but they're hanging in there though. It's not
exactly scintillating football. But this team is just tough on
(26:01):
the lie. They're just tough overall.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
He's on Twitter at Pete Futech. That is at Petefeutech
college footballnews dot com. You're one stop shopping for everything
college football, mister fu Tech. I thank you for your input.

people better, but wow answers regardless. He's a longtime NFL insider.
He is a haul of very good voter. You can
follow him on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. Check
out his latest at thirty third Team as well. It
(26:47):
is the aforementioned Jason Cole, who I found out on
Twitter earlier this week is not a writer that likes
to do a lot of research, but he welcomes me.
Welcome in here on the show What's Up? J Cole?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, I'm sorry I missed that cloud at Syracuse where
they do it researching on the dating lives of athletes?
Did they? Did you get a PhD? In that? Is
that what we're saying?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I did? Actually, you want to know some of the
classes I took at.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Syracuse, Man, so I can't wait to hear this.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I took history of the horror film That was one
of my favorite classes. Man was great.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Every once in a while, Cole, I.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Worked too hard.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Yeah, I did take a baseball literature class at Stanford,
so that's it. Yep, I did.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I talked one of those so there.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Yeah, Literature and baseball. Yeah it was. Yeah, I think
it was actually a one hundred level class that was
like for upper classmen only.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
So all right, so today Jason Cole is going to
read his book Report on the Baseball Life of Sandy Kofax. Jason,
come on up, read your own.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Camera and Hank my favorite. Yeah, that was my favorite,
throwing from like, but remember those books in you get
in fourth grade, you know, for like fifty cents each
and stuff like that. You know your order him in masks.
So I had Hammer and Hank and Amazing Willie May
is all those things. Yep, those those are great ones.
That was my early reading, my introduction to literature. We
(28:12):
are a yes when affected by yes, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
That's how you became a writer. That's when you got
the bugs.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
It had nothing to do with uncovering James Hogue as
a fraud and loving that moment, Now, that wasn't It
was reading Hammer and Hank and Amazing Willy Mays when
I was in fifth grade or fourth grade or whatever
it was.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yes, do you know, hey, Garon has the most home
runs of anybody in baseball history, seven hundred and fifty live.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
And then you can still try to argue that today, Hey,
you got an outdated book.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
No I don't.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
He's got the most of anybody in the Hall of Fame.
So there you got.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
That is true.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
That's absolutely true, talking about all the very good there
you go, especially with that Baines guy. I'm sorry, sorry, Harmon, Harmon,
I say you got a chance to I know you
see that side's right there. That wasn't fair. But you
guys had a chance to win a game this weekend
with Denver coming to town man two teams, two teams
(29:21):
that got schelecked by a combined eighty points. Trying to
pick a favorite in that one.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
But you know it's it's really a big, big spot
right here.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Yeah, it is a big spot. But for for Smith,
you got no shots zero.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Do you what, let's define what you think the Jets
winning is winning. I have a different definitions.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Was coming on and they're sold out?
Speaker 5 (29:45):
We have adjusted. That's like the Raiders fans who argue, oh,
Mark Davis did a great job, the franchise is worth
so much more money. What does that have to do
with you? Like, do you for the franchise value when
you go to a game? Is that what you're doing
franch All right, let's go for, let's go for.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Those numbers are all made up in phony anyway.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
But here's how the Jets went. Here's how I define
the Jets winning this week.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Why you just can't let go this one. No, you
are just hanging on to this point because you think
that there's something intelligent to be said here.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Because here's what's gonna happen. We're gonna lose this week,
of course we are. The Chiefs are gonna beat us
thirty eight to ten. It's gonna be awful. But we're
supposed to lose this week. We got Denver coming up,
the Giants, the Raiders. The schedule lightens up a bit.
Where I'm looking at winning is, Hey, if those Vikings
fall to zero to four, that's one us getting Kirk Cousins.
(30:49):
All right, That's that's how we win. That's out. That's
where the w's come from.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Jets, that's winning, baby. But what happens if the team
is so bad that Woody Johnson's not going to trade
for a for a quarterback on a short on a
short contract. What happens in that case?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Then what, well, you know, the utmost up guy, We'll
trade in the long term contract to make it look
worse with him in Rogers.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
We'll trade Stafford. That's we're going, Hey, we'll take Stafford's
contract at the Lean Rodgers next year.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Well, yes, you know who they'll battle for. Who's the backup.
I'm sure that's gonna happen. We'll just blow up the cap.
We don't care at all. I think the most interesting
game Frostburg brought this one up is McDaniels going up
against Daley Raiders versus versus Chargers. It's it's like a
(31:45):
it's like master strategist, you know, class one, you know,
like yeah, like or master class on football strategy. Like
they should be doing a whole video based on this game.
It's like, yeah, you should go from it for your
from your own eight yard line anytime, and if you're
(32:05):
close to scoring, no, just take the field goal. It's okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
No, it's the two worst coaches in the NFL are
going to try to out worse each other. It's going
to be fantastic.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
And well, here's the funny part is they I don't
understand McDaniel's being great. He worked for Belichick. Did you
just not notice all the close games that you won
for like twenty years. Did you not notice like how
he did that? Did you not notice when he was
taking certain gambles and figured it out? I mean, did
(32:37):
you just not? Like what did you do? Because you're
below five hundred in one score games and by a
pre sizeable margin. And that's the one most important thing
that a coach can do is win close games and
make strategy calls to try and pull out games like this,
(32:58):
and Josh is just more. This is on top of
the fact that, Okay, you gave up on Derek Carr,
which I understand. You know, he's not your guy, you
don't want to have him. But your big giant move
was to get Jimmy Garoppolo, Like you you like, that's
(33:20):
the most sideways move of all time. I you know,
like they're the same human beings. Just rearrange the letters
in the names. You get get the same guys. It's
like Kirk Cousins, Jimmy Garoppolo, you know, daf Prescott, Derek Carr,
you know, throw them all together. They're the same guy.
(33:40):
Why you know, Ryan Tannehill put him in there, Like,
why would you do that if you're going to push
in and say, I'm not you know, I don't want
this guy. Why didn't you have a plan to trade
up and go get one of the top quarterbacks. I'm
I'm just mystified by Josh McDaniels in this one. And
I've always been mystified by Brandon Staley because this was
(34:02):
the guy who's supposed to be a defensive coach and
sold himself as a you know, modern day just you know,
you know map strategy guy who you knew all the gambles,
and you go from your own twenty four and you
don't get it, like he's so lucky that they pulled
(34:22):
out that game because I understand the gamble of going
for it on fourth and one. I really do. There
are times that you do that what people don't understand.
And you know, all the people who do the math
on these situations and figured out is they've never had
to walk into a locker room when you fail on
(34:44):
fourth and one and you have to explain it to
all your players and it costs you a game. That's
where you lose faith of guys. So it's not that
you're just playing a dice game, right, You're playing a
dice game with real human being who get really, really
really pissed off when they lose. And that is what
(35:06):
Brandon Staley does not understand. He's going to lose his
own locker room if he has them.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Already, well, and there lies the question we've got them?
And then obviously eb Refleus Peyton. There's so many disasters,
beautiful disasters. But let's talk positivity for a moment over
under a fifty three and a half about Allen Williams.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Yes, what are you doing to me?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
What are you doing? Positivity? You gun? You asked me
the wrong guy about positivity. Let's get positive Jason Cole
for positivity.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Come.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
The guy's trying to get Tailboys players out of the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
I wrote a book called shut Up, Your Kid's not
that great. I'm trying to live up to this.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
It's a good book, one of his many books that
you can get eight Now you can get all eight
Amazon dot Com.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Order package deal. Oh yeah, a package deal there.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
You know sixty two on Twitter?
Speaker 1 (35:55):
And I thought of something. Wait, wait, I just thought
of a big to make money. J Cole, I thought,
wait if you did, now you know how people make
money on cameos? Hey, you get to call so. Hey,
here's fifty bucks. You call somebody who say, hey, this
is so and so. You're you're a big fan, thanks
for calling everything. People pay you fifty bucks and you
call their kid and you tell them you're not that
good at sports. You think you're getting a scholarship? No trade.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Once again, they just make that phone calls.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Quote the title, I'm not talking to the kid and
talking to the parent.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Yeah, how are you gonna make money?
Speaker 5 (36:27):
This is how you twist. This is how you twist things.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, trying to make you money.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Syracuse Journalism at work. No, because that makes me cruel. Now,
if a kid called me and said, I need you
to talk to my dad, and you know, like if
baby Gronks called me right now and said, can you
please talk to my dad? Sure, kid, you know, give
me some of them. You know, the money you made
on social media, it costs you a few hundred. I'll
(36:55):
call your dad and tell them to shut up. That'd
be fine. You know I can do that.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
The picture on the front of your book, shut up.
Your kid's not that good, is it? No smiling kid
in pads looking up at his parents. And you have
the Ghostbusters Red Circle and line through the entire kid's picture.
That's the picture on the front of your book.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
That is not the picture on the front of my foot.
But that's okay. Once again, more lies journalism accurate from
Jason Smith.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
The way we're radio hosts. There there's it's a small
j if there's I know, I know.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
I know, saying radio and journalism are just counter into it.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Like all these guys might have been journalists once I
threw that away a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
It's an oxymron.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Sorry, yes, don't don't say that to Jason Smith. Don't
call him that.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
Jason colon research that doesn't doesn't go all right, I
was gonna go positive to Miami and Buffalo since everybody
now wants to cry that fun McDaniel.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
It's a fun game, right, Let's have some fun. So
we talked about the Jets and Bears a lot. He's
got talking about some teams. You're actually good. Listen, you
just said that's fun. You gave him the opportunity for
an answer. What do you just say?
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, and that was from him, I'm sorry, not from
he's got no positivity.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
Hey, wait, wait a sec wait a second. I wasn't
done answering, Okay, don't cut me off.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
You said, yeah, And then I was about.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
Nine gabbering myself. No, look, I'm running it now. You
asked me a question.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
I'm talking.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
I said, no, No, I was gathering my thought to
say what I was going to say. No one talking
right now.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Lot of the thoughts I have to come out now, Wait.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
A minute, you're done, cat your Mike Smith, I'm talking here, Okay.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Go ahead, mister positive.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Okay, well yeah, that's right all right, and I'm just
going to ruin it all right now. So I love
I love this week out. Everybody's talking about how McDaniel.
McDaniel has like changed the game forever. I'm like Denver
(39:11):
didn't cover Tyreek Hill no like ever, like ever. Okay,
I mean like that most damning ever. It's like, oh,
let's play thirty yards off the line of scrimmage. Tyreek
Hill runs up and goes, oh, I'm opening at fifteen. Okay,
I'll take that. Thanks. Like McDaniel's doing an amazing job
(39:33):
of getting to to feel comfortable like that. That no
look backhand shuttle pass is was really it was artwork,
not just the play in the execution, all right, but
what it said about how too feels about himself and
how he reacts right that was it was just marvelous, right,
(39:57):
And that's a huge step from last year. I was
at the forty nine ers game when Miami played against
the forty nine ers. It was granted, you know, the
forty nine is way better team and all that other stuff,
But I remember the play where they've got a thirteenth
man on the field against the forty nine ers. He's
running off the field as the as the Dolphins are
up to the line of scrimage they need a first down.
(40:19):
It's less than you know, third and less than five.
He does not call for the snap right away to
get the penalty and then you know, play for play
for the deep one or take a shot with it
right and they're in plus territory. He didn't see it,
he didn't react to it. Now, I think if you
came back to that situation, two is so comfortable, so confident.
(40:40):
He sees so much more right now that he would
get that play. And those are repetition things, they're learning things,
they're confidence things. And I get mc daniel all the
all the credit in the world for what he's doing
with to it now. The people that come here and say, oh,
they're redefining offense, that's not really what's going on. Okay,
(41:03):
all these pass routes have been done before. They happen
to have an amazing amount of speed. They're a great team,
but they're not like reinventing the exus and o's of
the game. That's not what he's doing. But he is due.
McDaniel is doing a fabulous job getting the most out
of a quarterback. Up until now, there were a lot
(41:23):
of doubts about.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two Mixture Positivity.
His name is Perry Positive and you want to find
that in all any of his epes.
Speaker 5 (41:36):

Happy Friday, Mike Carmon and here we are with a
couple of big things to let people know. Right off,
back for again into a big college football weekend. One thing,
it's a big an Plumber who is playing quarterback right
now for Louisville. Not related to Jake Plumber. Not Jake
Plumber's killy not Ja. No, you would think so, not
(01:14):
not even not even no, not a distant uncle Knight.
Not related at all, But you would think Jack and
Jake Blumber not related, not related.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I mean, I wouldn't necessarily say it had to be,
but you have to ask the question. Whenever we have
that surname and you're playing that, you know, same position,
we have to make some assumption. But then you got
to follow it up, you know, like big journalists that
we are here in sports Dock radio, Jason Smith, what.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
About not no, not Christopher Plumber either, what about I
love you, Pumpkin, I love you? Yeah? No, no, no,
and not no one who was an actual Plumber? No?
Is it not related? Jake? And although watching Jack Plumber
(02:02):
make a couple of throws tonight reminded me a little
bit of some of the throws Jake Plumber made during
his career, so I could see where the the little
bit of sameness came from. Right there?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Can we get him on to talk about mushrooms?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
No, man, I'll take it sum or not? Jack? Oh,
of course I can. I tell you oddly, all right,
let's start with a fun story. So when I was
at NFL Network And the last year I was there,
before before I before I came back here. By last
year I was there, we did a fantasy football like
a season opening event in New York City where we
(02:35):
had a big theater.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I remember that and sdubbed me.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I didn't even know you back then. I prob I
probably would have snubbed you, though, who are you? Was you? Hey?
Who let this guy in the noise in the purple shorts?
And I mean, he's not really come on, let's let
who is that guy? Who is that guy? He's got
a flag in his hand and everything he's waving in
It's Northwest. So we had this event that you were
there to was. It was in a theater and we
did it for three days and we had a whole
bunch of NFL players come and talk fit and we
(03:00):
sold tickets and or gave weight. I think we gave
weight tickets, gave way tickets people to come in and see,
and you know, it was it was a pretty cool thing.
And they had a list of NFL players who were
gonna come to do talk fantasy. This is now and
this is in twenty thirteen. I want to say, this
is about ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
So about the tipping point when they finally started to realize, hey,
this is good for both playing careers.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, that was like right after they told Tony Romo, Hey,
you can't do any fantasy football. What is wrong with you?
So they say, here's who's coming, Here's wh's come. We
have a bunch people work out, like Cordell Stewart was there,

do in between uh when we were taping shows was hey,
the people who came were going to come and ask questions,
and they wanted one fantasy personality with one player. They said,
pick who you want. So they all said, oh, well,
Jason's got to get Wayne Corbett's. I'm like okay, And
of course Wayne Corbett by the time he met me,
was scared because all he had to hear for twenty
minutes was oh my god, Jason's the biggest Jet fan
in the world. Oh my god, Jason's the biggest Jets
(04:06):
in the world.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
All right, Yeah, did you hold his hand for like
seven minutes?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
No? No, no, no, no. You know what the big play
we talked about was was a big half back option
touchdown that Curtis Martin threw to him. Uh in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Did you tell him how you would go Curtis Martin's hand?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
No, No, this is before this is this is before,

He's coming here to talk about fantasy football. Okay, So
(04:41):
Jake Plumber shows up and he's wearing like this light
blue like a Valor type jacket, and I'm like, okay.
And we were hanging out talking football and he was
just a regular dude.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Was he on mushrooms?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, not as far as I know.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
But and he was just a regular dude talking football.
Knew everything about the game, all the stuff going on,
play here's all kinds. I'm going, why is this? Why
is he like the He's why is he the lock
ness monster of the NFL? I don't understand because.

regular and the entire day, I'm like, he's gonna give
me something like, he's gonna give me something like okay,
(05:33):
hey you're out there, man, Hey you're No. I didn't
get anything of the mushroom farmer and all kinds. I
got none of that stuff. Oh, psilocyber. No, we didn't
talk about racketball at all or whatever. I do. Just
just was a regular dude. And I'm like, boy, they
say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but I really wanted
to meet a guy. He says, it's so weird and
he was a He was an average pretty good.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Maybe he just realized you were too square to take
down that road. He didn't want to freak you out.
I can't talk much room. He didn't know about the
keys and all those other things.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Now, I just pictured Jason as a square.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
This guy's wearing a suit. It's not happening, man, There's
no way I'm not gonna talk to this guy about it.
But it really I was sitting around all day like
watching him answer questions, going why is he not doing more?
What happened? Where's the bad? Where's the where's the tripped
them out? Man? It was like a movie. It was
like a movie happening.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
He thought you were He thought you couldn't hang so
he played it straight.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
You thought you were undercover, nark.

dot com. Well, we have Pete fu Tech College football
news inside or Extraordinaire stopping by in a few minutes
to talk all the big slate tomorrow, including USC and Colorado.
Got a lot of top twenty five teams hitting the
road this week. Got some big stuff to break down.
But this is this kind of hit me hard. Tonight
might hit me weird because I didn't think about this. Well,
(07:25):
first of all, I'm glad the Marlins won. So now
the Marlins can stop complaining that out the Mets groundscrew
is screwing them out of the playoffs, right skip Chumarcher
wanted to fight the Mets groundscrew guy one o'clock in
the morning last night. How do you not have this
field ready? The Marlin's won tonight, congratulates your magic numbers.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You still fight him. Although you know, if they'd really
stayed in New York another hour or two, they might
have been running into waves of floating rats.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Oh they rain, Yeah, you know yeah. I mean at
some point I want to go. You see what the
rain's going on here?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You see how bad this rain is? Do you want
to you wanted you wanted them to stop the rain out,
You wanted them to stop this rain. I get they
were mad from the other day when the Mets said, hey,
we forgot to put the tarp on the field, Sorry
about that. Sure, I think you're mad about that. But here,
what are we gonna do last night? What are you
gonna do? Hey? You know yea, oh sorry, yes, Steve
Cohen should had a dome built over the stadium, well
a week ago. I mean, what the hell? Man? But
(08:14):
the Marlins were.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Upset, right, but Mets caused the great powers beyond to
cry to no end.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Night.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Truly, the only explanation I have Mother Nature wasn't a
Mets fan and was so sorely disappointed.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
This is what you.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Got, uh, you know?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And I kind of when I kind of like a
little bit, then okay, well here we go, can get
a little bit of here. It's a disappointing season for us.
Now you gotta come back and play us on Monday,
which is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Jason, the real question is is how Taylor Swift is
going to get to the game Sunday. Is she gonna
take an arc or what?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Oh no, they're gonna get one of those boats like
you have down in the Bayou, Like, yeah, let's go boats.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
They're building a tackle that goes right from wherever she
is to the stadium and she gets to Nancy's.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
At the one from Portnoy's new house.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Nan Tucket.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But this is, you know, speaking of what we're getting
close now with teams clinching playoff berths and tonight with
that Marlins win, finally the Padres have gotten eliminated. The
Padres are like the like the mass killer from a movie.
Who did you think they're dead? They're not dead? No,
they're really dead. Now, no they're not dead. Well, they're eliminated.
All these articles coming out about what a bad influence
(09:32):
Mandy Macha is. They're eliminated, right, No, still alive. They
won seven in a row. But really things aren't going well,
they're gonna have to break that team up. Yeah, no,
it's still alive. They won eight in a row. Now, finally,
with the Marlins winning tonight, the Padres are eliminated.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
They were salivating over the opportunity to still be mathematically
alive going to Chicago to play the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Hey we got a chance, man, that's our rallying cry
last week to this week, stay mathematically alive. But now
that the Marlins won, the Padres are eliminated. And I
didn't really care one way or another about the Padres.
The Padrey what doesn't matter to me. Padres, It's just
another team, right, It's not an NLS team that I'm
gonna have to watch go to the World Series. But
(10:16):
when they got eliminated, I felt good because the Mets
and the Padres are the same. They're both teams that thought,
we can just spend a ton of money, throw a
bunch of guys out there, and we're just gonna win.
And if the Padres had won and gotten in, it
would show that the Mets really didn't know what they
were doing, really kind of. So now I kind of
liked the fact that, well, the Mets are out and
(10:38):
the Padres are out, So the Padres sit right next
to me for the postseason, because if they had gotten in,
I would have felt, you know, they did the same
thing way that they went out and just spent money
on guys and threw guys out there haphazard, not thinking
they needed to be a plan or there needed to
be some kind of flow to the offense, or let's
worry about the rule changes that now there's gonna be
more stolen bases and no more shift, Nana. They just
threw guys. How did they throw guys out there? And
(10:59):
it worked for them and it didn't work for me.
So I feel good about that. Now we're the same,
And I want you sitting next to me at home
watching the playoffs on the couch, watching the Red Sox
win the World Series. Saw I went moneyball on you.
But watching some team win the World Series, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
There there's some You take some solace in that, right,
particularly as you you did your best to try to
screw over the Marlins in this process that at least
one of the teams uh fell to the wayside. And
you both are gonna look different next year, right. You
may not have Pete Alonzo, which is just gonna be
weird if you see him.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Don't don't put that out there, don't put that out
there yet already out there, ye, well, tyser was gonna
go to break right there because you said something like
that that he was going to breaking news.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
That's how that was.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Don't say it's gonna happen until it actually happens.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I don't want it to happen. I think don't good.
All right, Well, but the I mean, Jan Soto allegedly
wants to go back to the East Coast. Could the
Mets decide to throw out a huge pile of cash
for him?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Who knows Dodgers first base.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Now you want to talk about listen, who would be
revered quickly because he he would be the everyman that
all the transplants from other cities that have come here
to Los Angeles and have been reticent to maybe shake
off the last vestiges of their hometown teams and fully
embrace the Dodgers. I think the polar Bear could make
them do that because he looks like the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Now, I will say this if it needs to be,
Hey we got an issue, Hey we got an issue.
Hey how about you give us wan soda? We give
you pe alonzoy? All right? Now, Okay, that's not a
big fan of it, but I'd be okay with that.
At least it'd be all right if that happened. Well, okay.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well you'll be okay either way. You'll be okay because
you'll be excited to the next thing, like you'll start
convincing yourself about Jets twenty four before.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Hey, uh, you know, not for nothing. But I'm pretty
sure Aaron Rodgers listens to the show after what happened
to me. Pretty sure he listens, right, yeah, Well.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
He teased it earlier, you know, and now it comes
to fruition.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
After I said what he needed to do. Now it
looks like he's listening. Look at that.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Well a big Slayton college football tomorrow, going to see
some big time contenders hit the road for the first time.
No one better to break it all down with than
the editor, proprietor owner Grand Pooba of College Footballnews dot
Com college Football News Insider Extraordinary petefeuw Tech. College Footballnews
dot Com is your one stop shopping for everything college football,
(13:48):
all the previews, all the analysis, and Petefeutach prepared for
his visit with us tonight by not listening to music
all week during practice. Just you know, to simulate what's
going on with Penn State and Northwestern getting ready for
a quiet road game, so with no music on, getting
ready for his appearance with US tonight.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
So hey, you mentioned all the big contenders around the road.
What about the home the contenders from big things with Syracuse?
You know that's obviously the game of the days.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, we're winning to our d beat our defenses, loaded
Garrett Traders, the best quarterback we had in twenty years.
We're handing them another el tomorrow, we are handing.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
I love we. Yeah, you've yet.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
You know, if you paid your tuition, you get the
leap you get.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, I paid you how much money I paid to
go to that bleep in school.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
I wouldn't say we, That is arule.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
I've had knockdowns, bragout arguments with this, but yes, if
you pay for the tuition, or if you went there
you have a graduate, you may save we. Everybody else
know I'm paying tuition for college right now. I am.
Those are my San Diego State Aztecs because I'm paying
for these people.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
So he you sound like a guy that lives near
Chicago and has been putting up with Notre Dame people forever.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Oh Michigan everywhere every Michigan fan like, oh we won
that game. Oh so when'd you graduate from high school?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Like yeah, no, well, but.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Then you start asking if there's ever a family member
that's been an associated with it, and they're still a no.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
No.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Even if you do, you still it doesn't count. I
have a friend, one of my best friends, the kids
going to Williams. It's only like the number one school
in the country according to us through the world reports,
and their brainwashes the Michigan a week. No, it's not.
You're going to like a good college. You're going to
like like that, but not Michigan anyway.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
But I digress.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's funny because so many times when I when someone
we ask somebody, hey, you mean, oh, where are your
kids in college? Where do they go? Anytime they said,
like they go to Oberlin or they go to Kenyon.
I go, oh, man, they go out to go They're
never going to a final four.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
There's exactly that's you know what my friend who went
to Harvard went to Harvard. He regrets not going to
like a Stanford or something like that. But what I'm
giving you is rainy day fodder either does Peter Rows
belonging to the Hall of Fame. Can I call my
team we and ken men over the age of like eighteen,
we're a Jersey Those are all easy, you know, the
(16:12):
topics of conversation for a rainy you know, just a
lonely like you know, mid and April day.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
All right, well, fortunately we have a big day tomorrow
and nothing bigger than the big nude kickoff, which I
believe happens at five am West Coast time. We get
Colorado and USC.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Look, the game's at ten o'clock in the morning, Pete,
I mean for local time for them, it's tenne Is
this just gonna affect USC at all? Do they win
forty eight to twenty one? Do they win fifty five
to twenty one?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
You know what?
Speaker 6 (16:40):
This is one of the Again, Colorado remains the most
fascinating investment opportunity each and every week, because look, last week,
I'm a believer you never ever, ever ever take the
over on a point total. It's seven year over. A
whole bunch of things have to happen for to get there,
And so last week I'm like, you know, that's the
(17:00):
one time where I think it's gonna happen, because Oregon's
gonna hang you know, sixty by itself, and it could have,
and then all of a sudden it just sort of stopped.
George sort of said.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
You know what, we're gonna We made our point. We're
not gonna You made your point.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Hans now pull back. Well, you know, he's the kind
they kind of decided to stop, and it's like, wait,
what are you doing here? You you could hang ninety
on the board on these guys and they just didn't
do it. I will be interested to see how this
works tomorrow, because you're right, I mean, if if USC
is really that good. By the way, I haven't played
anybody yet, so we're still waiting to see if they're
(17:35):
any good. If they're any good, they come in and
just they're getting off the bucks with sixty three. Uh,
you know on this defense. This defense is awful. But
let's see if Shador and those guys having something a
little different offensively this week. And I kind of think
they will.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Well that because that's the larger question, how how good
is Colorado really? For as much really everybody's jumped into
the store and divvied up the map and tried to
take their claim their place on campus, and we are
to the story.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
It is the It's apparently the most credentialed game in
the history of Colorado football. It's not like they've like
went to national championship games or anything like they used
to be good and so like all of a sudden,
everyone wants to come to this game because it's well,
I mean, it's Caleb and Chaudu or look, I mean
we might be dealing with this for the next fifteen
(18:26):
years of our lives at the next level. So like
this is this is this should be interesting, it should
be fun stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Spread's only a half point different from before the season.
There you go, yeah as well.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Yeah it makes sense too because I could see if
USC is really a title contender. We want to see
the defense on this one. Let's show up that path.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
But it's a bad mix because they they have a
path rush.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
And Colorado's offensive line is got awful, so they need
to just they should be jumping on Shooder's head all
game long.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
But if they.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Don't, that secondary is gonna get, you know, lit up
a little bit. So I'm really interested to see if
the Colorado team boss is saying, like, all right, that
we had our bad game.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Let's go, Pete futech College Footballnews dot Com with us
here Jason Spith Mike Harmon live from the TIREC dot
com studios. All right, Pete, now you know I want
to see Syracuse in the National championship. However, there's not
there's not yes, there's not a sweet because there's not
a lot I wouldn't give to see Kansas and Duke
play for the national championship in football. They both have
(19:29):
big games tomorrow. What are the odds one of those
teams is still undefeated by the end of the day.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
See, I take the different attitude. You get it basketball,
like you really need to give these people that too,
Like you've already gotten that, you know, do great. It's like,
you know, it's like saying Alabama was good at basketball
this year. Just no, no, no, not fair. You don't
get everything.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
But yeah, you know what that's Let's see if Duke.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Is really for I mean they're but for a couple
of fumbles, they don't beat Clemson, but they did. They
on it, they played great. But let's see because if
Notre Dame is still good, I mean, it's this whole
thought now that oh wow, Notre Dame's Norhames is still
in the thick of this. They lost close enough to
a good enough team where if they now they get
if they beat Duke, that's gonna be a resume builder
(20:16):
because of what they did get something they still get
to deal with the USC They still get some nasty
games down the road. So Notre Dame's still knee deep
in the college football playoff fun and it's not like
they're any worse just because the knee was an inch
off the ground a micro second before he got over. So, uh,
this would be this would be a humongous deal obviously
(20:38):
for college football if if Duke was able to pull
this off, and they might actually sell out the stadium
for this one.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Look at that. And then and then they get Ken Jong,
who won't be on you know, a reality show or commercial.
He's going to be a guest picker. So you got
all of that kind of going on.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Finally, that's we have that for us.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Well, you know you got you gotta have a big
time picker anymore. Kansas and Texas. Texas all the way
up at number three, two touchdown plus favorite. But it's
a game of rank squads. Kansas off to a pretty
good start the over under here at sixty one, Pete, Uh,
Texas just rolls at home, all live it up to
(21:17):
their press credentials at this point.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
But they haven't.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
I mean, the crazy part about it is you look
at me. They destroyed Kansas last year and before that,
even when Kansas was just got awful and Texas really
wasn't very good. But the previous five games is five
or six games, we're all by one score, and two
of them Kansas won. So it's I'm a believer of
(21:41):
this Kansas offense is the real deal. I do think
that it's gonna be one of those things where Texas
gets up, they're comfortable, and then if you take Texas
and all those points, you are hanging on for dear
life at the very end, because it might be like
thirty one to ten Texas. Okay, all of a sudden,
you go, you know, have a snack or something else.
A way to may here it's it's thirty. It's I
(22:04):
think Kansas is going to hang around a lot longer
than this than I think Texas would like.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
All right, Pete, we have a lot of teams. As
we said, going on the road this week, a lot
of national title contenders. Michigan's on the road, Penn State's
kind of on the road because this is going to
be signed. You know, shut up. Well, I'm gonna said, Hey,
it's gonna be silent, so we're gonna turn the music off. Yeah,
did you.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Watch and it's one of the Are you want to
have five people that saw the end of the Minnesota game,
by the way.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I did.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I watched it and I was celebrated thusly by the
way James Franklin again, as you know, against teams where
they're favored like this, it's been a problem for him.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Yeah, it should not be a problem for him in
this game because I don't think they're going to gack
like Minnesota. But that game is so many different ways.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
And PJ.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Fleck had an all time look on his face where yeah,
it was like a bemused, like are you kidding me?
Stupid team.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Well, when the guy covered the punt with two minutes
left and stepped in the end zone, that might have
been the worst thing this side of Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
John McKay had the classic line when he was at
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers what do you think of the
team's execution.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I'm all for it.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Well that was that was the exact look on PJ
Flex's face where he's like, my god, my boy, right,
like that's.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Just like.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
It was great.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
But I don't think Penn State has much of a problem.
But yeah, here's the thing though, that place, if you
you know how that plays rolled, it's gonna be all
Penn State fans. Oh yeah, so it's it's supposed to
be perfect. It's gonna be like seventy three and perfect.
Doug here tomorrow. Uh so yeah, e Lions fans are
going to show up for this.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
What was the other question you were asking, Jason, Well,
you tried to make because you decided to make fun
of me, sideswiping me.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
We talked about teams going in the route and Penn
State is kind of going on. It's more of a
neutral site for Penn State. Hate you. But you know,
George's on the road, right, we saw that we have
we have Washington on the road, Alabama's on the road.
If I said to you the team, you wouldn't be
surprised road upset tomorrow? What game would you give me? What? What?
(24:12):
What National title? Contender or team masquerading as contender. Right now,
would you say going on the road and can lose tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
I'm literally operating at four as a sleep so I'm
blanking on who's actually playing. That's all melting into one
big pot here. Let's you know what. So let's say
because there's always that one game every year, be it
Washington or be at Oregon where it's late night, everyone's sleeping,
the game's going on at like four in the morning
(24:42):
at certain parts of the world, and all of a sudden,
it's either Arizona or Arizona State that ends up doing
something wacky where this Arizona team is just funky enough
where they might be able to, you know, put up
spour n fifty yards of offense and hang around and
all of a sudden, the Washington juggernaut kind of slows down.
(25:03):
And then everyone wakes up the next morning and still
Washington's ranked ahead of Arizona because everyone went to bed
after you know.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
It's turned in their poles.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Just like by the way, we're in week three of
America held hostage by Tennessee, still being ranked ahead of
Florida by Digress. But yeah, I would say Washington Arizona.
That's just one of those Pac twelve games where it's
starting to look more and more. Let's see what happens
to the rest of this game tonight with Oregon State
Utah more and more like the home teams in the
(25:31):
Pac twelve just have a massive edge over those road teams.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Can we just get Cam Rising healthy something?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well?
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Yeah, this offense just plus now that you at least
Utah's making it fair by having all their guys get hurt.
I mean like that, that defense is absolutely incredible if
everyone was healthy. But they are just dropping left and
right unfortunately, but they're hanging in there though. It's not
exactly scintillating football. But this team is just tough on
(26:01):
the lie. They're just tough overall.
Speaker 1 (26:04):

(26:47):
is the aforementioned Jason Cole, who I found out on
Twitter earlier this week is not a writer that likes
to do a lot of research, but he welcomes me.
Welcome in here on the show What's Up? J Cole?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, I'm sorry I missed that cloud at Syracuse where
they do it researching on the dating lives of athletes?
Did they? Did you get a PhD? In that? Is
that what we're saying?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I did? Actually, you want to know some of the
classes I took at.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Syracuse, Man, so I can't wait to hear this.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I took history of the horror film That was one
of my favorite classes. Man was great.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Every once in a while, Cole, I.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Worked too hard.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Yeah, I did take a baseball literature class at Stanford,
so that's it. Yep, I did.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I talked one of those so there.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Yeah, Literature and baseball. Yeah it was. Yeah, I think
it was actually a one hundred level class that was
like for upper classmen only.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
So all right, so today Jason Cole is going to
read his book Report on the Baseball Life of Sandy Kofax. Jason,
come on up, read your own.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Camera and Hank my favorite. Yeah, that was my favorite,
throwing from like, but remember those books in you get
in fourth grade, you know, for like fifty cents each
and stuff like that. You know your order him in masks.
So I had Hammer and Hank and Amazing Willie May
is all those things. Yep, those those are great ones.
That was my early reading, my introduction to literature. We
(28:12):
are a yes when affected by yes, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
That's how you became a writer. That's when you got
the bugs.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
It had nothing to do with uncovering James Hogue as
a fraud and loving that moment, Now, that wasn't It
was reading Hammer and Hank and Amazing Willy Mays when
I was in fifth grade or fourth grade or whatever
it was.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yes, do you know, hey, Garon has the most home
runs of anybody in baseball history, seven hundred and fifty live.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
And then you can still try to argue that today, Hey,
you got an outdated book.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
No I don't.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
He's got the most of anybody in the Hall of Fame.
So there you got.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
That is true.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
That's absolutely true, talking about all the very good there
you go, especially with that Baines guy. I'm sorry, sorry, Harmon, Harmon,
I say you got a chance to I know you
see that side's right there. That wasn't fair. But you
guys had a chance to win a game this weekend
with Denver coming to town man two teams, two teams
(29:21):
that got schelecked by a combined eighty points. Trying to
pick a favorite in that one.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
But you know it's it's really a big, big spot
right here.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Yeah, it is a big spot. But for for Smith,
you got no shots zero.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Do you what, let's define what you think the Jets
winning is winning. I have a different definitions.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Was coming on and they're sold out?
Speaker 5 (29:45):
We have adjusted. That's like the Raiders fans who argue, oh,
Mark Davis did a great job, the franchise is worth
so much more money. What does that have to do
with you? Like, do you for the franchise value when
you go to a game? Is that what you're doing
franch All right, let's go for, let's go for.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Those numbers are all made up in phony anyway.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
But here's how the Jets went. Here's how I define
the Jets winning this week.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Why you just can't let go this one. No, you
are just hanging on to this point because you think
that there's something intelligent to be said here.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Because here's what's gonna happen. We're gonna lose this week,
of course we are. The Chiefs are gonna beat us
thirty eight to ten. It's gonna be awful. But we're
supposed to lose this week. We got Denver coming up,
the Giants, the Raiders. The schedule lightens up a bit.
Where I'm looking at winning is, Hey, if those Vikings
fall to zero to four, that's one us getting Kirk Cousins.
(30:49):
All right, That's that's how we win. That's out. That's
where the w's come from.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Jets, that's winning, baby. But what happens if the team
is so bad that Woody Johnson's not going to trade
for a for a quarterback on a short on a
short contract. What happens in that case?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Then what, well, you know, the utmost up guy, We'll
trade in the long term contract to make it look
worse with him in Rogers.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
We'll trade Stafford. That's we're going, Hey, we'll take Stafford's
contract at the Lean Rodgers next year.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Well, yes, you know who they'll battle for. Who's the backup.
I'm sure that's gonna happen. We'll just blow up the cap.
We don't care at all. I think the most interesting
game Frostburg brought this one up is McDaniels going up
against Daley Raiders versus versus Chargers. It's it's like a
(31:45):
it's like master strategist, you know, class one, you know,
like yeah, like or master class on football strategy. Like
they should be doing a whole video based on this game.
It's like, yeah, you should go from it for your
from your own eight yard line anytime, and if you're
(32:05):
close to scoring, no, just take the field goal. It's okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
No, it's the two worst coaches in the NFL are
going to try to out worse each other. It's going
to be fantastic.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
And well, here's the funny part is they I don't
understand McDaniel's being great. He worked for Belichick. Did you
just not notice all the close games that you won
for like twenty years. Did you not notice like how
he did that? Did you not notice when he was
taking certain gambles and figured it out? I mean, did
(32:37):
you just not? Like what did you do? Because you're
below five hundred in one score games and by a
pre sizeable margin. And that's the one most important thing
that a coach can do is win close games and
make strategy calls to try and pull out games like this,
(32:58):
and Josh is just more. This is on top of
the fact that, Okay, you gave up on Derek Carr,
which I understand. You know, he's not your guy, you
don't want to have him. But your big giant move
was to get Jimmy Garoppolo, Like you you like, that's
(33:20):
the most sideways move of all time. I you know,
like they're the same human beings. Just rearrange the letters
in the names. You get get the same guys. It's
like Kirk Cousins, Jimmy Garoppolo, you know, daf Prescott, Derek Carr,
you know, throw them all together. They're the same guy.
(33:40):
Why you know, Ryan Tannehill put him in there, Like,
why would you do that if you're going to push
in and say, I'm not you know, I don't want
this guy. Why didn't you have a plan to trade
up and go get one of the top quarterbacks. I'm
I'm just mystified by Josh McDaniels in this one. And
I've always been mystified by Brandon Staley because this was
(34:02):
the guy who's supposed to be a defensive coach and
sold himself as a you know, modern day just you know,
you know map strategy guy who you knew all the gambles,
and you go from your own twenty four and you
don't get it, like he's so lucky that they pulled
(34:22):
out that game because I understand the gamble of going
for it on fourth and one. I really do. There
are times that you do that what people don't understand.
And you know, all the people who do the math
on these situations and figured out is they've never had
to walk into a locker room when you fail on
(34:44):
fourth and one and you have to explain it to
all your players and it costs you a game. That's
where you lose faith of guys. So it's not that
you're just playing a dice game, right, You're playing a
dice game with real human being who get really, really
really pissed off when they lose. And that is what
(35:06):
Brandon Staley does not understand. He's going to lose his
own locker room if he has them.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Already, well, and there lies the question we've got them?
And then obviously eb Refleus Peyton. There's so many disasters,
beautiful disasters. But let's talk positivity for a moment over
under a fifty three and a half about Allen Williams.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Yes, what are you doing to me?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
What are you doing? Positivity? You gun? You asked me
the wrong guy about positivity. Let's get positive Jason Cole
for positivity.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Come.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
The guy's trying to get Tailboys players out of the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
I wrote a book called shut Up, Your Kid's not
that great. I'm trying to live up to this.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
It's a good book, one of his many books that
you can get eight Now you can get all eight
Amazon dot Com.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Order package deal. Oh yeah, a package deal there.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
You know sixty two on Twitter?
Speaker 1 (35:55):
And I thought of something. Wait, wait, I just thought
of a big to make money. J Cole, I thought,
wait if you did, now you know how people make
money on cameos? Hey, you get to call so. Hey,
here's fifty bucks. You call somebody who say, hey, this
is so and so. You're you're a big fan, thanks
for calling everything. People pay you fifty bucks and you
call their kid and you tell them you're not that
good at sports. You think you're getting a scholarship? No trade.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Once again, they just make that phone calls.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Quote the title, I'm not talking to the kid and
talking to the parent.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Yeah, how are you gonna make money?
Speaker 5 (36:27):
This is how you twist. This is how you twist things.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, trying to make you money.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Syracuse Journalism at work. No, because that makes me cruel. Now,
if a kid called me and said, I need you
to talk to my dad, and you know, like if
baby Gronks called me right now and said, can you
please talk to my dad? Sure, kid, you know, give
me some of them. You know, the money you made
on social media, it costs you a few hundred. I'll
(36:55):
call your dad and tell them to shut up. That'd
be fine. You know I can do that.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
The picture on the front of your book, shut up.
Your kid's not that good, is it? No smiling kid
in pads looking up at his parents. And you have
the Ghostbusters Red Circle and line through the entire kid's picture.
That's the picture on the front of your book.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
That is not the picture on the front of my foot.
But that's okay. Once again, more lies journalism accurate from
Jason Smith.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
The way we're radio hosts. There there's it's a small
j if there's I know, I know.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
I know, saying radio and journalism are just counter into it.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Like all these guys might have been journalists once I
threw that away a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
It's an oxymron.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Sorry, yes, don't don't say that to Jason Smith. Don't
call him that.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
Jason colon research that doesn't doesn't go all right, I
was gonna go positive to Miami and Buffalo since everybody
now wants to cry that fun McDaniel.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
It's a fun game, right, Let's have some fun. So
we talked about the Jets and Bears a lot. He's
got talking about some teams. You're actually good. Listen, you
just said that's fun. You gave him the opportunity for
an answer. What do you just say?
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, and that was from him, I'm sorry, not from
he's got no positivity.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
Hey, wait, wait a sec wait a second. I wasn't
done answering, Okay, don't cut me off.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
You said, yeah, And then I was about.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
Nine gabbering myself. No, look, I'm running it now. You
asked me a question.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
I'm talking.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
I said, no, No, I was gathering my thought to
say what I was going to say. No one talking
right now.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Lot of the thoughts I have to come out now, Wait.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
A minute, you're done, cat your Mike Smith, I'm talking here, Okay.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Go ahead, mister positive.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Okay, well yeah, that's right all right, and I'm just
going to ruin it all right now. So I love
I love this week out. Everybody's talking about how McDaniel.
McDaniel has like changed the game forever. I'm like Denver
(39:11):
didn't cover Tyreek Hill no like ever, like ever. Okay,
I mean like that most damning ever. It's like, oh,
let's play thirty yards off the line of scrimmage. Tyreek
Hill runs up and goes, oh, I'm opening at fifteen. Okay,
I'll take that. Thanks. Like McDaniel's doing an amazing job
(39:33):
of getting to to feel comfortable like that. That no
look backhand shuttle pass is was really it was artwork,
not just the play in the execution, all right, but
what it said about how too feels about himself and
how he reacts right that was it was just marvelous, right,
(39:57):
And that's a huge step from last year. I was
at the forty nine ers game when Miami played against
the forty nine ers. It was granted, you know, the
forty nine is way better team and all that other stuff,
But I remember the play where they've got a thirteenth
man on the field against the forty nine ers. He's
running off the field as the as the Dolphins are
up to the line of scrimage they need a first down.
(40:19):
It's less than you know, third and less than five.
He does not call for the snap right away to
get the penalty and then you know, play for play
for the deep one or take a shot with it
right and they're in plus territory. He didn't see it,
he didn't react to it. Now, I think if you
came back to that situation, two is so comfortable, so confident.
(40:40):
He sees so much more right now that he would
get that play. And those are repetition things, they're learning things,
they're confidence things. And I get mc daniel all the
all the credit in the world for what he's doing
with to it now. The people that come here and say, oh,
they're redefining offense, that's not really what's going on. Okay,
(41:03):
all these pass routes have been done before. They happen
to have an amazing amount of speed. They're a great team,
but they're not like reinventing the exus and o's of
the game. That's not what he's doing. But he is due.
McDaniel is doing a fabulous job getting the most out
of a quarterback. Up until now, there were a lot
(41:23):
of doubts about.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two Mixture Positivity.
His name is Perry Positive and you want to find
that in all any of his epes.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
