Speaker 1 (00:57):
Happy Friday, Mike Harmon, and here we are with a
couple of big things to let people know right off
bat for again do a big college football weekend. One thing,
it's a big Jael Plummer who was playing quarterback right
now for Louisville, not related to Jake Plumber, not Jake
Plummer's killy, not ja no you would think so, not
not not even no not a distant uncle Knight. Not
related at all. But you would think Jack and Jake
(01:18):
Blumber not related, not related.
Speaker 5 (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 Star Radio, Jason Smith, what
(01:41):
about not?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
No, not Christopher Plumber either, what about.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I love you, Pumpkin, I love you yet? No? No, no,
and not no one who was an actual Plumber? No?
Is it not related? Jake and all?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
The Watching Jack Plumber 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.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Right there?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Can we get him on to talk about mushrooms?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
No, man, I'll take it or not? Jack?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
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 before I came back here by last year
I was there. We did a fantasy football like like
a season opening event in New York City where we
had a big theater.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
I remember that snubbed me. I didn't even know.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You back then, prob I probably would have snubbed you, though,
who are you wold you?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Who let this guy in the in the purple shorts?
And I mean, he's not really come on, let's let
who is that guy?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Who is that guy?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
He's got a flag in his hand and everything he's
waving in It's Northwest.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
So we had this event that you were there to was.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It was in a theater and we did it for
three days and we had a whole bunch of NFL
players come and talk fantasy and we sold tickets.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And or gave weight. I think we gave weight tickets.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Gave weight tickets people to come in and see, and
you know, it was a pretty cool thing. And they
had a list of NFL players who were going to
come to do talk fans and this is now and
this is in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I want to say, this is about ten years ago,
so about.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
The tipping point when they finally started to realize, hey,
this is good for bost playing careers.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
That was like right after they told Tony Romo, Hey,
you can't do any fantasy football.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
So they say, here's who's coming, here's what's come. We
have a bunch of people work out, like Cordell Stewart
was there, and then Michael Irvin comms everybody else, and
then our manager says yeah, and Jake Plumber and Wayne
Crebbett and I'm like, whoa what, Yeah, Jake Plumber and
Wayne Coqrbett.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I'm like wow.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So they said what they wanted to do in between
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.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
They said, pick who you want. So they all said, oh, well, Jason's.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Got to get Wayne Corebbett's I'm like okay. And of
course Wayne Cribett by the time he met me with
Gay 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 because Jets.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
All right, Yeah, did you hold his hand for like
seven minutes?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
No? No, no, no, no, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
The big play we talked about was was a big
halfback option touchdown that Curtis Martin threw to him.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Uh in Tampa, did you tell him how you would
let go Curtis Martin's hand.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
No, No, this is before.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
This is this is before this before. But 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,
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.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
To talk about fantasy football.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Okay, So 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 2 (04:50):
Was on mushroofs.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
No, not as far as I know, you don't know,
but and he was just a regular dude talking football,
knew everything about the game, all the stuff going on players.
All I'm going, why is this? Why is he like

I do. Just just was a regular dude.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And I'm like, boy, they say you shouldn't meet your heroes,
but I really wanted to meet a guy here. He
says it was so weird, and he was a he
was an average It's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Maybe he just realized you were too square to take
down that road.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
He didn't want to freak you out. I can't talk
much room.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
He didn't know about the key and all those other things.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Now I just pictured Jason as a square.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
This guy's wearing a suit. It is not happening. Man,
there's no way I'm not gonna talk to this guy
about it.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
But it really I was sitting around all day like
watching him answer questions, going why is he.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Not doing more? What happened? Where's the dead? Where's the
where's the tripped him out? Man? It was like a movie.
It was like a movie is happening.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
He thought you were He thought you couldn't hang so
he played it straight.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You thought you were undercover, nark.

Progressive 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
(07:13):
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, first of all, I'm glad the Marlins won,
So now the Marlins can stop complaining that the Mets
groundscrew is screwing them out of the playoffs, right, Skip
Schumacher wanted to fight the Mets ground screw guy one
(07:34):
o'clock in the.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Morning last night. How do you not have this field ready?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
The Marlin's one tonight congratulates your magic numbers to still
fight him.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
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 the rain.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah you know, yeah, I mean at some point I
want to go you see what the rain's going on here?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Right? You see how bad this rain is.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
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.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Sure, I hope you're mad about that. But what are
you gonna do last night? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You know? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Sorry, Yes, Steve Cohen should had a dome built over
the stadium a week ago.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I mean, what the hell? Man?
Speaker 5 (08:14):
But the Marlins were upset, right, but Mets caused the
great powers beyond to cry to no end night. Truly,
the only explanation I have Mother Nature wasn't a Mets
fan and was so sorely disappointed.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
This is what you got, uh, you know, and I
kind of when I kind of like a little bit.
Then okay, well here we go. You can get a
little bit of here. It's a disappointing season for us.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Now you gotta come back and play us on Monday,
which is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
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 5 (08:47):
Oh no, 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 at the one from.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Portnoy's new house, Nan Tuckett.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
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):
Manny Machada was. 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 5 (09:46):
They were salivating over the opportunity to still be mathematically alive,
going to Chicago to play the White Songs.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
We're mathematic 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.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
The Padre What does it matter to me?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
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 when they got eliminated, I felt good
because the Mets.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
And the Padres are the same.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
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.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
They really kind of love So now I kind of liked.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The fact that, well, the Mets are out and 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, just spent money on
guys and threw guys out there haphazard, not thinking they
needed to be a plan, or they 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 Naa. They just threw guys.
(10:57):
How did they throw guys out there? And 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. That's how I went moneyball on you. But
watching some team win the World Series.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, I think there there's some U.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
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 3 (11:33):
Don't don't put that out there. Don't put that out
there yet, he's already out there.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Well, Tyser was going to go to break right there
because you said something like that that.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
He was going to breaking news.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That's how that was don't say it's gonna happen until
it actually happened.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I don't want it to happen.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I think don't is good?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
All right, Well, but I mean Wan 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 2 (12:02):
Who knows Dodgers' first basement.
Speaker 5 (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 Juan Soda? We give
you Pede Alonzo? Way yeah, all right, now, Okay, that's
not a big fan of it, but I'd be okay
with that.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
At least it'd be all right if that happened. Well, okay, well,
you'll be okay either way.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
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 3 (12:58):
Hey, uh, you know, not for nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
But I'm pretty sure Aaron Rodgers listens to the show
after what happened to that?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Pretty sure he listens, right, Yeah, Well he.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Teased it earlier, you know, and now it comes to fruition.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
After I said what he needed to do. Now it
looks like he's listening. Look at that.

what's going on with Penn State and Northwestern getting ready
for a quiet road game, so beat with no music
on getting ready for his appearance with US tonight.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
That's awesome. I love that. So Hey, you mentioned all
the big contenders around the road. What about the home
the contenders for big things with Syracuse? You know that's
obviously the game of the data.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Oh, we're winning to row r D beat.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Our defense is loaded, Garrett Traders, the best quarterback we
had in twenty years. We're handing them another el tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
We are handing I love.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, yeah, you've yet. You know, if you paid your tuition,
you get the week.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I paid. Hey, you know much money I paid to
go to that bleeping school.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I couldn't say we that is. I've had knockdown, drag
out arguments with this. But yes, if you pay for
the tuition or if you went there, you have a graduate,
you may save wee everybody else know, I'm paying tuition
for college right now. I am Those are my San
Diego State aztects because I'm paying for these people.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
So he you sound like a guy that lives near
Chicago and has been putting up with Notre Dame people forever.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Oh Michigan. Every Michigan fan like, oh we won that game.
Oh so when'd you graduate from high school?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Like yeah, no, Well, but then you start asking if
there's ever a family member that's been an associate with
and there's still a no. No.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Even if you do, you still it doesn't count. I
have a friend, one of my best friends. It's 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 to Wei. No, it's not.
You're going to like a good college. You're going to
like like that, but not Michigan anyway. But I digress.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
You know, It's funny because so many time when I
when someone we asked somebody, hey, you mean, oh, where
are your kids in college?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Where do they go? At anytime? They said, like, they
go to Oberlin or they go to Kenyon.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I go, oh man, they go out to go They're
never going to a final four there.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah, exactly, that's you know what my friend who went
to Harvard went to Harvard. He regrets not going to like,
you know, a Stanford or something like that. But what
I'm giving you is rainy day fodder. Either Peter does
Peter Ro's belong in the Hall of Fame. Can I
call my team? We and ken men over the age
of like eighteen, we're a Jersey those they are all easy,
(16:33):
you know. He's the topics of conversation for a rainy
you know, if you're just a lonely like you know,
mid and April day.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
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.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
We get Colorado and USC.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Look the game's at ten o'clock in the morning, Pete,
I mean for local.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Time for them, it's tennant. 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 4 (17:00):
You know what? 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 out of 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,
(17:21):
you know, that's the 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, and George sort of said,
you know what, we're we made our point. We're not
gonna you made your point, Hans now pull back. Well,
you know he's they kind of decided to stop, and
it's like, wait, what are you doing here? You you
(17:42):
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 any good. If they're any good, they
come in and just they're getting off the bus with
sixty three. You know on this defense, this defense is awful.
(18:06):
But let's see if Chadur and those guys having something
a little different offensively this week. And I kind of
think they will.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Well that, because that's the larger question, how how good
is Colorado really? For as much? Really, everybody's jumped into
the story and divvied up the map and tried to
take their claim their place on campus, and we are
the story.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
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 Chadur. Look, I mean we
might be dealing with this for the next fifteen years
(18:47):
of our lives at the next level, So like this
is this is this should be interesting, it should be
fun stuff.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Spread's only a half point different from before the season.
There you go, yeah as well?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Yeah it makes sense too, because I could see if
USC is really a title contender, we wouldn't see the
defense on this one. Let's show up that pat But
it's a bad mix because they have a pass rush
and Colorado's offensive line is gone awful, so they need
to They should be jumping on Shooer's head all game long.
(19:19):
But if they don't, that secondary is going to get
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 (19:28):
Let's go, Pete futech College Footballnews dot Com with us
here Jason spent 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
a lot. There's not yes, there's not feet because there's
not a lot. I wouldn't give to see Kansas and
Duke play for the national championship in football. They both
(19:49):
have big games tomorrow. What are the odds one of
those teams is still undefeated by the end.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Of the day.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
See, I take the different attitude you got basketball, like,
you don't really need give these people that too, You've
already gotten that. You know, they do great. It's like,
you know, it's like thing Alabama was good at basketball
this year. It's just no, no, no, not fair. You
don't get everything. But yeah, you know what that's let's
see if Duke is really for I mean they're but
(20:17):
for a couple of fumbles, they don't beat Clemson. But
they did, they got it, they played great. But let's
see because if Notre Dame's still good, I mean, it's
this whole thought now that oh wow, Notre Dame's Norame's
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 because of what they did get something get.
(20:39):
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 funs. And
it's not like they're any worse just because the knee
was an inch off the ground in micro second before
he got over. So uh, this would be this would
be a humongous deal obviously for college football, if if
(21:01):
Duke was able to pull this off, and they might
actually sell out the stadium for this one.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Look at that, and then 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. Finally the guy
we have that for it, 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 ranks squads. Kansas
(21:29):
off to a pretty good start in the over under
here at sixty one pete. Texas just rolls at home.
All live it up to their press credentials at this point,
but they haven't.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
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 gone 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 I'm a believer.
(22:01):
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. I
was like, wait a minute, here, it's it's thirty. It's
(22:24):
I think Kansas is going to hang around a lot
longer than this than I think Texas would like.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
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 it's going to be signing.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
You know, shut up. Well, I'm gonna have said, Hey,
it's gonna be silent, so we're gonna turn the music off.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, did you watch and that's one of the.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Are you one of five people that saw the end
of the Minnesota game? By the way I did.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
I watched it and I was celebrated thusly by the
way jams Franklin again, you know, against teams where they're
favored like this, it's been a problem for him.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Yeah, it's 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 in so many different
ways and PJ Flex had an all time look on
his face where yeah, it was like I amused, like,
are you kidding me? My stupid team.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
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.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
John McKay had the classic line when he was at
the the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, what do you think of
the team's execution? I'm all for it? Well that was
that was the exact look on PJ. Fleck's face where
he's like, my oh god, my boy, ain't right, Like
that's just like, oh, like it was great, But I
don't think Penn State has much of a problem. But yeah,
(23:49):
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 supposed. It's supposed to be perfect.
It's gonna be like seventy three and perfect, Doug here
to mar uh So, yeah, Lions fans are gonna show
up for this.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah. What was the other question you were asking, Jason, Well,
you tried to make because you decided to make fun
of me, sideswipeing me because.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
We talked about teams going into the road and and
Penn State is kind of going on. It's more of
a neutral site for penns.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I hate you, but you know, Georgia'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?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
What? What?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
What national title contender or team masquerading as a contender
right now? Would you say, going on the road and
can lose tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I'm literally operating up for the sleep, so I'm blanking
and 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 it Oregon, where it's late night, everyone's sleeping,
the game's going on at like four in the morning
(25:02):
at certain parts of the world, and Elsie, 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 four hundred
and fifty yards of offense and hang around and all
of a sudden, the Washington juggernaut kind of slows down
(25:23):
and then everyone wakes up the next morning and still
Washington's ranked ahead of Arizona because everyone went to bed
after you know, they turned in their polls. 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
(25:44):
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 Pac twelve just
have a massive edge over those road teams.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Can we just get Cam Rising healthy they like something?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Well, yeah, this offense just plus now that you at
least Utah is 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
thropping left and right unfortunately, but they're hanging in there,
so it's not exactly scintillating football. But man, this Utah
team is just tough on the line. They're just tough overall.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
He's on Twitter at Pete fu Tech that is at

Speaker 1 (26:41):
You think you got my die hard line at the
end there, I think he gave us a die hard line.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Hans pulled back, so I gave the diehard line. I
gave the next line.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
No, it's good. Good to have trade lines like that.
It's good.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Thank you for your input, mister McLean. Hit it again.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Carmen Wole.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Can you imagine Washington going down?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I could just see it being one of those games
where it's all anybody is talking about at ten thirty,
and in my timeline, all the people who live in
Seattle that I follow and follow me are all just
losing their minds about Washington losing to Arizona. I could
see like Softy from Kjar and everybody going, oh, I
can't believe this is happening.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I can't believe. No. I can completely see what Futech's got.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Right there, nineteen point favorites, Washington on the road.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Hey guys, I think USC's just scored again.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, I think they just kicked off. Actually, it's really
really early. I'm seeing the big noon kickoff already pregame.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon hobo live from the tiraq dot Com studios.
Like to Pete feud Tech for stopping Bible. Have more
college football coming up later on in the show.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Buddy's going on the road this week. Let's see how
it goes.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
But Mike and I do this every week on the
show to pretty good degrees of success. Don't want to yeah,
bed karma out there and anything, but we give your
upset specials every week. In the NFL three and one
going into last week now four and two.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Sometimes people say, what's the half a point? Mean?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, when you had New Orleans getting a point and
a half that eighteen seventeen lost to Green Bay makes
you a winner?
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah, legit? One and a half point line.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
There was gonna kick off our picks right now with
our upset specials.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Mike, why don't you go first, dealer's choice for you,
my friend, dealer's choice for me.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Well, you might see our guy dor and Thompson Robinson. No,
he's not at UCLA anymore.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
No, I think he is. He's actually playing. He's playing
both days Saturday.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Oh double up. I mean Ernie Banks always talked about
how much fun it was.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Let's play two.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Baltimore's banged up, but they're getting some of the line
backs starting to like Odell Beckham, and you're when they say, hey,
one of your five starters is missing. I don't qualify
him as one of those essentials as it were, like
you know, all of those things. The over under on
this one is thirty nine. It is going to be
a paint drying kind of day. But give me Lamar
(29:14):
Jackson to make one more play and bring us home
a winner. Getting two on the road at Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
All right, So there you go. There's Mike's first pick.
I'm gonna give you the Miami Dolphins. For some reason,
getting points after scoring seventy at the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
It feels like a trap. Game.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Wait a minute, Miami, they're the best team in the league.
They just they're getting points. Yeah, but the thing is,
so far, the trap games haven't happened. Buffalo is a
good team, allegedly, but you're gonna see on Sunday that
Miami is truly the class of the AFC. They're gonna
score a ton of points. Buffalo's not great, right, They
(29:52):
lose to the Jets, who have a really good team
outside a quarterback. Then they went and beat up on
a couple of really bad teams. So you think, okay,
Buffalo's back. Yeah, not so much. Buffalo still got issues.
The Dolphins are gonna expose them. They're gonna win this
by two touchdowns on Sunday. I'll take the points, Mike Carmen,
but I'm not gonna need them. Miami beats the Bills
on the field.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
I think you're wrong, But that's okay. That's what this
is all about. We try to find the diamonds in
the rough.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I'm looking.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
I was looking at one that that really kind of
excites me. But I'll move in into a different direction
because we'll have a larger discussion on it a little
later in the show. But I'm gonna go with the
the Monday Night Dog, and God help me, the Giants
are gonna play more than two quarters of football at
some point this season.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Now you sure about that?
Speaker 5 (30:39):
This is it? You sure as a narrow home dog.
With Seattle coming into town? Can they stop Kenneth Walker?
Is the question? Right? That has been the seismics, You know,
craters have been there for running backs, giant holes to
run through. Daniel Jones and the offense look for them
(31:01):
to make some plays against Seattle defense. This one goes
towards that forty seven total. So we will be entertained
Monday night and the Giants come out victorious.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
The last one I'm gonna give you. And boy, I
hope so for the Giants. So does my dad, who
keep telling me when is Daniel Jones gonna start playing? Well, Dad,
don't worry about it that he's doing fantasy for the
first time. You know he's he's the early fantasy where
he's mad at the players for not he did he
sell him off to like he's mad at that? No, yeah,
he had to pick him back. Don't give me, don't
let's not get into a whole thing.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Did he had to package up a future Hall of Famer,
some draft considerations and stuff for a play for next year,
and the.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
D wave Daniel Jones, Like, Dad, why did you win?
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Now?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
He's stunk last week?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
But Dad, you can't just wave a guy that's really
good after one bad week.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
You can't do it.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
So luckily he was in last place. They got to
pick up Daniel Jones first. But instead of getting a
good player, he had to pick up the quarterback that
he dropped the week before.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Well that's okay, as long as he was able to
undo the damage.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
This one him a little bit more out of a
limb on. And this is not because you think Kenny
Pickett stinks. Yes, Kenny Pickett does do Actually.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
That is the sum of your analysis for this one.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Give me the Texans getting three over the Steelers. Houston's
offense is starting to gel.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
They were right.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Hey, Houston was right last week when they said we
got the right guy. C. J. Stroud is pretty good.
Tank Dell is close to uncoverable. I mean he is
starting to really show you that boy, and he may
be the next great small slot receiver in the NFL.
Tank Dell is uncoverable. Pittsburgh's offense still a big time
work in progress. You know it's gonna be up and back.
(32:33):
And Pickett's not a guy that's gonna light up the scoreboard,
but the thing that's gonna be the difference in this game. Finally,
everybody who's got Damian Pierce going may the guy's been
killing me. This is gonna be his first big game
because Pittsburgh's defense has been horrendous so far this year.
Usually defense is a hallmark of the Steelers, not so
much of the third worst team in the NFL. In
(32:54):
giving up against the rush. This is where Houston pulls
the upset. Pierce has a big day and suddenly it's weighed.
How legit are the ore CJ. Stroud and the Texans contenders?
Will Kenny Pickett get traded to the Jets of the deadline?
All of these are coming up. Give me the Texans
getting three.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
I appreciate your optimism here. You've forgot one very important thing.
Steelers haven't faced a team that is missing four offensive
line starters.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Yet doesn't matter. CJ.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Stroud is gonna have to do the one one thousand.
Just throw it up and hope that Tank Dell runs
under it. Otherwise he's wearing TJ. Watt like a damn
suit on a Saturday night. Okay, okay, you'll see the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yoh, watch give me the Texans. The Texans offense has
the abilion out to light.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Up the scoreboard. Just watch again.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
And it's not the Steelers of years past, right, this
is not oh TJ. Watts playing. The Steelers are gonna win.
The defense is bad. The defense has been bad. He
has played this year. It has been bad. It has
gotten lit up.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
This is not the same Steelers team as the last
few years.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
This offensive, their defense against the pass is awful as well.
They give up all kinds of yards. Man, and this
is not the same Steelers.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Just watch and just watch the panic button being pre
propping up the textics panic panic, panic, panic panic.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
And this is me who likes Collins and Stroud and
Pierce and Dell. I've talked them all up between the
preseason and doing the I Watch a Flex podcast.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Uh hey, speaking of talking things up.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
After what happened today, I'm pretty sure Aaron Rodgers listens
to our show.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Wait what that's next? Fox
