(00:47):
dot com the way tire buying should be. So again,
we do things no one's ever done before. We previewed
two games a few minutes ago where the combined teams
are zero to twelve, but these OZ and three games
are pretty intriguing. We'll get to so many reasons right absolutely,
like the Chargers and Vikings last week, the loser leaves
(01:07):
town effect to it all and then watching the coaches
say no, no, no, no, no, here's my giant foster size
scan of beer that you need to hold while I
show you how to screw up the coaching.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
They try to make me watch the broncos.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I said no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
So we'll get to that in a minute.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
But today is a huge anniversary, and I don't get
why this hasn't gotten more attention, because usually when a
day like this happens, it becomes a big deal. All day,
there's interviews, there's look backs. It is the ten year
anniversary of the end of Breaking Bad, the final episode
in the sixty two episode Perfect Game run that Vince
(01:52):
Gilligan had no spoilers. The final episode Felina ended ten
years ago tonight, and I was stunned. I said, fed
the pam, I said, this can't be right. The final
episode of.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Breaking Bed was ten years ago tonight. She was like, no,
ten years.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
It feels like it was just like, you know, five,
six years, ten years ago tonight, the final episode.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Of Breaking Bad.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, I mean that was for me when I was
doing video stuff over for Fox Sports dot com. Uh,
that was the only episodic television I watched during a
football season, right fall, Everything's New. I would get home
from the video studio after waiting not jaymore, and we'd
finish our stuff and it'd be like, all right, what
am I watching? All Right, they're gonna play Breaking Bad again.
So sometimes dinner was left, sometimes not so much. Sometimes
(02:37):
you just had to run with it.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
But you know the reason you can't sell it, you
know so well today is you couldn't have any of
these guys on their their shows to promote because of
the strike. I mean on social media, there could have
been some kind of you know, you're not promoted, You're
you're you're commemorating the end of the run, right, and
it's not like, hey, here comes a new you know,
it's not like people have DVDs anymore to new DVD
(03:00):
coming out, not anymore. Netflix sent out their last one.
Did you see what it was? No?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What was the last one?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
True grit Oh, that was the last DVD sent out?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Uh, you know they still had over a million people's
still getting the DVD service.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, but I think they said, didn't they say that?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I thought I read somewhere where they said and if
they don't get them back, okay, like you know.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well they sent them out, like they literally sent them
out whenever they had in the vaults.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Uh for the last one. It's like, here's a bunch
of freebies.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, don't take them and see and here's me. Because
I remember being young enough when I worked at Blockbuster Video,
like Friday nights was always the worst.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It was somebody had to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
They said, all right, someone's on calls, like no, not me,
not me, And you had to call all the people
that had the most outstanding balances like that either owed
the most money or owed movies for the longest time.
And I hated doing everybody hated it because you would
call and either you would have to say at the end,
I couldn't get anybody on the phone.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
You'd leave a message because you all.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
These people aren't aren't answering their phones, or you'd get
them and they would pretend it wasn't them, or they
would say they send it back, or they would say no,
I don't have it anymore and stop calling. And it
was the most It was the worst thing. It was like, please,
don't put me on calls. Don't put me on it.
But every Friday night was at to try to call
to get something back, to get a movie back, or
can you drop it off? And it was, and it's
(04:21):
always was impossible to even get people on the phone
to talk.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
That was the worst job ever I had.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
To bring that bring that'd make me think about that,
Mike Harmon, why'd you do that to me?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Because sometimes we need to go think of where we'd been.
And for all of you out there in that job
you don't like and buy all surveys, that's ninety percent.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Of you there are hope for better days, better pay checks,
better opportunities.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
That was just keep working.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now, Jason.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Did you guys put a hit on them if they
didn't bring it back?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
No, it was what it was anything to do. They said, well,
eventually we're going to charge your credit card. Like that
was the whole thing. And I was nine for there
was a lot of money, right, like if you had
a VHS of a movie. It was I think after
we use it though, was like fifty nine bucks was
what it was.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Think about that way.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It was still, you know, fifty nine ninety nine for
Ernest goes to camp.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
But I said, how how long do we go? They go, oh,
usually go three months.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Then we do it. I go, so enough time for
someone to not you know, to throw that credit card
away and then you know, get new ones. Oh, you
gotta charge a credit card. Okay, so yeah, that's when
you would always get people coming in when you would
charge a credit card.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Oh wait, wait a minute, where was I never got a.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Phone call, sir? It says here we called you every
Friday for the last two and a half months.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Oh I never got to need those call.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Never gonna need those messages.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
That's not my phone.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
This call for six minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, oh that's out. I never got that. I never
knew this. No, this is ridiculous. You can't do this.
I must have been kid. I got I got legal,
I got legal options to come get you with. Oh,
it was just that. That's when you would charge. That's
you'd get the irate cutswerds coming in. And they would
all come in like it was wwe Like they're coming
out of the locker room because someone's getting beat up
(05:54):
in the ring and it's oh, here I come house
of fire. Out that you can tell everybody, hey, uh yeah,
you want to go to that line right there. Yeah,
I'm doing the best is that they always showed up
in those circumstances on a Friday night when it was
really busy, knowing they could probably bulldoze you because you
just had to make something happen.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Sure, there's call an issue with twenty other people.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Can you can can you wait over here? We have
to check these people out there. We're very busy right now, sir, sir,
can you just wait here for a minute. You just
wait for a minute. Uh no, that's what it was.
Oh man, but hey, happy ten year anniversary Endo Breaking Bad.
It's of the top three series I've watched in my life,
Breaking Bads in the top three. I understand where it
(06:37):
might not be some people's cup of tea. The the
the subject matter is tough. It's drugs, and it's kids,
and it's brutality, and it's it's you know, it's difficult.
But the one thing I don't think you can argue
is that I don't know that there's been a show
where you can point to every single episode and say
(06:58):
it's as perfect a job as you could do, Like
there was no episodes that were clunkers every episode, even
though you knew that, Okay, for most of the show,
Walter White's not gonna die, Jesse Pinkman's not gonna die,
but still the drama was so compelling. There could be
a scene where Walter White is just making eggs in
the kitchen. You're like, what's gonna happen, Something's gonna happen.
He's making eggs for like thirty seconds. Something's gonna happen,
(07:20):
Something's gonna happen. And it was just it kept you
on the edge of your seat. And I don't know
that there's ever been that kind of quality in every
single bleeping episode, even the Fly episode. I liked Walter
the way through, from beginning to the end. I don't know.
I don't know there's been better than that.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
No, Hey, look it was musty and from what I
gather and people that I know, they actually really took
effort to make sure the math and the chemistry actually
was right, as opposed to most show. They gotta add,
nobody's gonna pay attention to any of the people. Do
people do? And my favorite also.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Is the the Great Bad Finger song. If you go
try to look it up and add it to your playlist,
and maybe you go to YouTube. The first live performance
of it you're gonna find was from the nineteen seventy
two television show, where a shaggy haired Kenny Rodgers says
ladies and gentlemen bad figure and then they go into it.
(08:17):
At the end of your first year, Discover credit cards
automatically double all the cash back you are and that's right,
everything you earned doubled. Seriously see terms. Check it out
for yourself at discover dot com. Slash match now. Meanwhile,
some NFL games where teams actually have wins that are
gonna be big on Sunday, and one of the big
games I believe it's the national game that most of
the country is gonna get to see the Patriots and
(08:38):
the Cowboys, which sounds like a the oh hey, the
Patriots won. No, this game is gonna be awful for
New England and it's gonna look worse for the Jets
because the Patriots, who just beat the Jets are gonna
get roundhoused by the Cowboys. Dallas is going to roll
simply because Dak Prescott is better than Zach Wilson. Look,
the Patriots may score sixteen again, but the Cowboys are
(09:01):
gonna score thirty or thirty five. The only reason the
Patriots won is because the Jets offense is abysmal and
Zack Wilson stinks and Bill Belichick can beat the Jets
with his eyes closed. It's much different now, going to
play a Dallas team that is pissed after last week,
that has hopefully got their heads back on straight, that
hopefully understands we need to be playing with a little bit
(09:23):
more precision and not get loose like we did against
the Cardinals. The Cowboys are still really good enough to
beat this Patriots team badly because the Patriots are not
good all right, dud. This wasn't a get well win
for the Patriots against the Jets. This was a hey
for one week, we can enjoy an ex hal because
it's the Jets and we're just And Belichick left the
field laughing at the Jets like he's done for the
(09:44):
past fifteen years. Ah the Jets. Yeah, no matter who
the coach is, I'm just laughing. And he's watching Sala
walk off the field really mad because he's stuck with
Zach Wilson the whole game and Zack Wilson stinks and
the team is falling apart, and Belichick's just laughing, going, Ah,
the Jets. Best thing I ever did was resigned after
getting named their head coach. Ah the Jets. He's gonna
(10:05):
be ninety years old in a rocker, just sitting there
left and going, ah, I heard that Jets game from
twenty sixteen or that Jets game from twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Oh, that was fun.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And the rest of his days when he's done coaching,
is it gonna be laughing at the Jets. But it's
gonna be back to reality. This week, Cowboys roll and
this is a game that's not gonna be close.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Forty three and a half, you're over under six and
a half.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Cowboys favored at home, and I say this defense is
up to the task, and they flummis Dak Prescott and company.
I don't think the Cowboys are necessarily as good as
they were. You know, people had hype them they'd beat
up on the Giants. I don't do we know what?
We think the Giants stink at this point, don't we?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Sure most people think they stink. And the Jets are
the Jets, and the Jets stink. So how good could
the Patriots really be?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
The Wow? How good are the Cowboys? Though?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Okay, they went out and they got punched in the
mouth by Arizona. Why can't they lose these guys too?
Cowboys first two weeks scored a ton of points, didn't
give up any I'm pretty sure the Cowboys are better
than the Jets, pretty sure.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And I'm just gonna.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Say this, I don't think they're running away and hiding
in this game. I think the Patriots defense will be
up to the task. I don't know what's going on offensively,
we still have some question but Zeke Elliott ran the
ball really well last week.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
In conjunction with Ramandre Stevenson. You got a nice two
man backfield working there. Passing game. The tight ends, all
three of them played a role. I think the Patriots
going sting him. It's it's one thing to play three
dbs down against the Jets, It's another thing against the Cowboys.
It's another thing against CD Lamb. And look, Dak is
(11:44):
still a guy that's gonna make plays, right, He still
at the worst. Dak Prescott is a is a ten
to fifteen ranked quarterback in the NFL. Zak Wilson is
dead last. He is DFL. He is dead last. Well,
just have nobody ruled out for this one, just just
the no. What I'm saying is it's easy to look
at the Patriots say they dominated.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yeah, all they're down. Nobody said they dominated the Jets.
It's a fifteen dead game.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
The Jets to the Patriot's defense didn't dominate that game.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Of course they did. That couldn't do anything because but
I think the Patriots have a good defense.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Is the point that it got to shine on a
whole other level against the Jets. Of course, you're me
and nine of our jetass buddy's gonna shine against the Jets, Dude.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I don't know that.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
If I got a guy that can, if I.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Got one guy that's got some speed that can hang
with Garrett Wilson in the secondary, I got a chance.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Yeah, US two's ty Shirt and myself can take on
the Jets.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
We don't need nine. I don't think we need nine
more guys. Maybe we could do it with like seven.
We're just gonna have a four to three. What about
your defensive backs?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Now, we don't.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
We're legitimating that. I need two guys with some speed,
one guy to shadow Breiese Hall running around the other guy,
Garrett Wilson. Otherwise I'll take my chances because Zach Wilson
ain't gonna get rid of the ball with any level
of efficiency or proficiency to get it into a space.
So here he does, and when he does, he's not
(13:08):
going to throw it past the ten yard mark?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Or so, why are we defending that area?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Show?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
That's oh Man exit? How about a Fresca exit?

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Ten o'clock. Really ten o'clock in the morning, gonna play
that game?
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Really well, it's the way it works.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
They've got the rights to it, they just and that's
where it needs to stay instead of moving it into
another window, because let's face it, the afternoon, you've got
a lot of a lot of choices in your life
getting out there and after it, get it, get that
game in early, right, right, off the jump, especially West Coast. Hey,
(15:18):
you're just getting up. Maybe you walk the dog. Maybe
you're having that second cup of coffee. Happy National Coffee Day.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh, I don't mean for us watching. I mean for

For us time you play football. Oh, it's too damn bad.
Get up, let's go the more.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Thing you're playing at ten am?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Come on now.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Meanwhile, something's going on in college football right now that
we need to get to for a couple minutes. Here,
Maybe you've been watching BYU and Cincinnati. Pretty good game
here on a Friday night. BYU is leading Cincinnati twenty
one to ten. And the quarterback for BYU is Keten Slovas.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yeah he is.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
And it's not Keaten Slovas's Sun. This is the same Keeten.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Slovas that plays with USC back in twenty nineteen. And
you know, hey wouldn't be the first guy to peak
as a freshman in college an unbelievable freshman year for USC.
Not quite as great the next couple of years. Then
he went to Pittsburgh for a year to not have
a great year. And now he's another college football journeyman
quarterback with his third team, although he is having a
(16:19):
decent year for BYU who's three and one. He's got
a touchdown throw tonight. But this is the same Keten
Slovas that potentially could have gone number one or number
two overall the draft. When you think about where he's
expected to go after his freshman.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
He's on the Stinson Bennett Scholarship.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oo.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Man, he is.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
He's gonna graduate from college when he's thirty seven years old.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Thirty seven?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Shut up?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
But hey, good for him. Man, all these guys petitioning.
Wasn't there just a.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Story the other day.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
I have a guy petitioning for an eighth year of college.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, eight years Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Hi. That was the advice some folks used to give
folks back in the day. And avoid the real world
as long as you can. Yeah, gonna go. I want
to go get my masters, want to get my doctorate.
How long have you been in the school. I'm thinking
for this. I'm thirty years old. I'm hanging out with
twenty one year olds. I want to pretend like I'm
the smart guy.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I want to date all the hot twenty one year olds.
That's what I want to do.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
I'm that guy and that drop your McConaughey line.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
All right, all right, all right, now, not that one
I get older.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
They all stay the same age.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I mean really, when I think of that, I think
of the the guy getting his doctorate, who's got no
direction in life, but I'm gonna stay in school forever.
And then he's the thirty year old. Yeah, he's in
charge of everything in the house because he's thirty. He's
in charge of making the sending the checkout for the rent.
Everybody else is like twenty one, twenty two years old, like,
and I'm the cool guy, madam, the old guy. Yeah,
third and thirty, I can go by the beer. I'm
(17:47):
the guy on Friday nights and Saturday nights and everybody's
back from drinking or hanging out. I'm the guy that's
spout knowledge on the couch while we're watching a movie
at two thirty in the morning. I'm spouting knowledge.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
That's me. I'm that guy. All right.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
You want to be that guy, don't you that guy?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You've thought about being that guy, or you've written a
sitcom treatment to make yourself that guy.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
When I was I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I can't imagine people who go to college for five
years just because the majority of the people you hang
out with or the people you meet as a freshman,
right and you go all the way through. I couldn't
imagine going back to school, going I don't know anybody.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
I don't know school.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You make enough friends around like the fifty year I mean,
because you've got eight internships, externships, whatever.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I mean, five years fairly common anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
You know now it is now, But I'm talking about
when I graduated in the nineties, it was hey, uh,
you know, everybody graduated in four years. People didn't stay
for five. And now it's become more of a thing
as people staying for longer, uh, and doing that and
not and not going crazy taking overloading yourself with classes.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Which I hey, I'm with you, I hear that. I
just can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
It's so foreign to me though, going all my friends,
everybody on the floor where I lived, everybody that I
knew they were, They're all graduating. I'm gonna come back
and live with new people off campus.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yeah, I don't I go.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Do it now?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
When I was done, I was done.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I still remember walking out of my final class, anthropology
because I had to take a I had to actually
take a qualifying class senior year because.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I missed one when I was a sophomore.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And I walked out of that last test, and I
took my book and I threw it in the air
as eyes. I threw it higher that I threw my
cap at graduation, I.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Threw that thing.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
So it's going I never have to take another test
as long as I live. I'm done with school forever.
And I threw that thing, so had many traditions. I
did not take part in the whole throw the hat thing. Yeah,
the the cap stayed in my hand.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Look at you holding on to that cap.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Well, what if I'd hit someone accidentally and it hit
him in the eye. Now I'm liable for that problem.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
But they how do they trace it back to you? Hey,
the guy, I would have my DNA on it. They
wouldn't find DNA in nineteen ninety four. Come on, man,
that's not happening. I ain't haven't come to much later,
much much.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Later, Jason.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Wait, wait, all the Jets take Keaton Sloan to this
set number two?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Now there no, you want to talk about a twist
to the draft. Let me tell you. Now, I think
we're done with BYU quarterbacks. I'm just thinking we're done.
I'm thinking we're.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Done for I mean Zach Wilson's QB one.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I'm thinking we're done g QB two. Let's go Nay,
I think it's one of those FOLLY one. Shame on
you fool me.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Need this.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, it's for us. The NFL and fans need Aaron
Rodgers back. That's what happened. Aaron Rodgers. He needs to
come back. That's what has to happen. Got him back,
Got him back.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Now, we got more NFL coming up in a bit.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Mike and I are gonna give you our upset special
picks in college football this week. But two big stories
out of Major League Baseball tonights. We are watching teams
compete for the final couple of playoff spots in both
the National and American League. The Wild Cards are still
up for grabs. Division slop for grabs in the AL West.
In the American League, right now, Seattle is thumping the
(21:04):
Texas Rangers, so likely they're going to gain another half
game on the Astros end, they'll gain a full game
on the Rangers. Who right, I'm telling you, Ranger fans
are in such panic mode right now, going we had
to Grom, we traded for Surezer. We're gonna lose all
of these games and the playoffs are gonna start on Monday,
and we're gonna be out after leading this division for
(21:25):
the entire year. Like there's so much panic going on
in Texas right now. Well, but that's s the beauty
of it, right is that you have those moments and
the way they've added wild cards and chaos all along,
and you, I mean, you hate the term, but you
cannibalize each other when the division's pretty good overall, and
for the West outside of the abject failure that is
(21:47):
your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, but he else actually
came to play most days, and even the Angels were
interesting for a while, and then September happened, and then
Trout was her again and then show hey what left uh?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
And all of that. But no, this is good for baseball.
It's a good run, and.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
For Seattle to still have life to be clawing uh
to a little bit of hope is good for the Rangers.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Let's let's call it what it is.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You've been cheering against him ever since they added your
former met No no, no, no, I have no Look do
you think you think I wanted to have Jacob de
Grom now, who's out for all of this year and
next year?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Come on, man, can't can't do that, can't do that.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
No, it's just it's just crazy at the rain. We're
so good with Rangers are so good. Look how good
they are now. It's like, hey, we could get swept
here at the end by the.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Murders, not even make them playoff.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
But if you're the Rangers fan, though, you know, you
haven't had any nice things since uh no, and Ryan
beat up Robin Ventura.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Oh yeah, it's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Well what man, you had Ron Gonzalez? You had, you
had Evon Rodriguez. We've got questions about all. I mean,
look at all the people that lined up to see
Juan Gonzalez last week. I mean was pretty cool. That
was pretty cool. That was pretty cool. But the American
League for a team not in the playoffs. Just for
a second, the Yankees lose tonight to the to the Royals,
(23:13):
and it's not that big a deal because both teams
have been eliminated from the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
You know, yes, the Yankees losing the.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yankees lose to the Royals twelve to five. The Royals
scored nine in the bottom of the first inning off
of Carlos Rodon, who failed to.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Retire a batter.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
He did not retire a batter in the bottom of
the first inning before getting the hook.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Seven plus million per win this year.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
This is Look, this is the exclamation.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
This is the cherry on top of the blank Sunday
that the Yankees have had all season long. And Rodin
was their big acquisition. Like all season long, you felt like, oh,
the Yankees, we got a tread water. Oh, ro Don's
our big guy. We can't get him out there. We
can't get him out there. You know, he's had a
great year last year with the Giants, been a really
good pitcher for a while your White Sox. And then
(24:05):
they finally get him out there and he's awful. And
he finishes this season not retiring a batter, giving up
eight runs in six hits.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
He's three and eight and his era is over six.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Now hear the good.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
News on it for the Yankees, there is no good news.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
They got another five years of it, six years, one
sixty two.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Jason, I mean, this is just awful, and this is
why And then, like I said, it's the exclamation point
at the end. We talked about this a few weeks ago.
The Yankees will be unrecognizable in the spring. You watch
how bold they are this offseason because it looks like
they're stuck, but you what they're gonna They're gonna spend
money to buy themselves out of contracts, to get prospects,
to make trades and bring other guys in because you
(24:49):
can't just show up back at spring training and go, yeah,
we're just gonna try to bang the dens out of
what we have.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
No, you have nothing. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
There's still two games over five hundred. That's the big
thing we should focus on. This Yankee team is terrible,
and still they wound up overachieving because there are two
games over five hundred. That's the real way to break
down the Yankees, because this team is awful. I know
Garrett Coles won seventy nine of the eighty one games,
but this team is still awful, and when you look
at what they have for next season, they're stuck behind
(25:17):
a lot of money that they really would love to
get out of, and they're gonna have to pay money
to get out of Stanton. They're gonna have to pay
money to get out of other players. They're gonna have
to include young players to trade off some of the money.
But they need an overhaul and absolute overhall. It's gonna
be a new manager in Aaron Boone, and it should
be a new four or five new players coming in
(25:37):
and playing every day. I can only guarantee a couple
of guys will be in the starting lineup for the
Yankees beginning of next season. And that's gonna be judging tours.
Everybody else is what are we gonna do? Hey, you
signed lemeye dam, but you know what, you can move him.
He's just been okay. Uh. There's other guys that need
to go, and new blood needs to be brought in.
Not only that need a new way of thinking. Knew
(25:57):
what because what Cashman's been doing has just slowly been
deteriorating over the last few years. The Yankees have stopped
being aggressive, they've stopped really trying to win. They've stopped
wanting to trade their prospects because they're afraid, and they
need somebody new in that chair that's gonna say, hey,
guess what, we got new ideas coming. That's what the
Yankees need and you know, maybe think about it.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Was this, Mike.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
This week was Syracuse basketball started practice, you know, Adrian.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Autry taking over for Jim Bayheim.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
And you know, look, I Beheim my entire life, right,
and I'm nervous about what's next, but I'm excited that
hopefully things can change a little bit. And I read
in a preview that one of the writers who wrote,
you know, hey, Adrian Autry's practice is starting this week,
and now it's going to be exciting to see what new,
more modern tweaks he brings to Syracuse. And I stopped
(26:44):
for a second and I said, oh, my goodness, you know,
for all of Beheim, as great as he is, as
great a coach as he is. When I read that,
when I read that statement, I said, yeah, man, that's
you know, it's like a whole new world opened up.
That Why am I nervous at all? I mean, the
team hasn't been good. You know, they still getting good recruits,
but they've not been good. Yeah, this is something that's
(27:07):
absolutely needed, and it needs, you know, a new way
of thinking and new some and you know, they're gonna
play more modern defense, They're gonna do and I think
Syriacus is gonna have a pretty good seat. They've got
a really good trio of guys coming back, led by
Juda Mins. I'm pretty excited about that. But when I
read that line, it just all clicked, like, Yes, what
am I nervous for? Why am I thinking?
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
How are we gonna get away without Beaheim? Can we
still recruit like we did all these different things when
when clearly a new start is what's needed, and that's
what happens with the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
A new start is needed.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You can't bring Brian Cashman back and think it's gonna
be the same old thing. It's got to be someone
coming in saying, Okay, guess what it's time to cut
It's time to cut money and pay people off and
move out and use some of our resources. Because I'll
tell you what, mister stein Brenner, We're not gonna do
well unless you want to bite the bullet and spend
some money and do that.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
You got a lot of money coming in.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
From the TV contracts, but there's got to be a
bite the bullet off season if you want to be
competitive next year.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
This is what you need to do. If the Yankees
want to be competitive. This is what they to do.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Yeah, I mean the biggest thing is philosophically, the baseball
changed and we've seen teams struggle that are still living
and dying by the old ways. And part of that
is a put the ball in play b get on
the bass paths to move. Volpe had twenty four stolen
bases twenty one and sixty right home runs RBI twenty
(28:21):
four stolen bases in twenty nine attempts. Problem is strikes out.
A ton doesn't put the ball in play on balls
batted in play, hit almost two sixty. His average for
the year two oh seven had some positive moments, took
some steps forward, but we're looking at the batting average
right and keeping guys healthy.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Right.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Philosophically got to change some things, and you were banking
on big contributions and that next level to come up
from Jason Domingez, Well he had to have Tommy John
So is he gonna be ready to go because you
only have one DH slot although Stanton's never available, so
that should be available for Domingas a right.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
We need another exorcism out of a trainer's table and
the training room just like we do in so many
football locker rooms.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Living with Zach Wilson. Nit a new quarterback? Maybe Taylor
Swift can throw the long ball?
Speaker 6 (29:24):
What did this song ever do to you? Gotta bring
Zach Wilson into the lyrics? What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. We do it every week here on
the show, we give your upset special picks for the
week in the NFL four and two after last week.
And for all of you who think, well, how much
does the half point really matter? Well, when you say
give me the Saints in one and a half against
the Packers and the final score is eighteen seventeen, it
(29:54):
means quite a lot. So here go Mike and I
giving you our picks for the week, and I'm gonna
kick things off. Give me the Texans getting three over
the Steelers. Ooh, look at you. I'm not sold on
the Steelers. Their defense is terrible. This is not the
every year oh TJ. Watt has got. The Steelers defense
is bad.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
They're the third worst team against the run.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
This is a week where the Texans offense gets untracked,
especially running the football with Damian Pierce, because offensively they
look like they're coming. CJ. Stroud was really good last week.
Tank Dell is uncoverable. This is gonna wind up being
one of those weeks where you go, oh, we need
to reevaluate the Pittsburgh Steelers. We thought lafter last week.
(30:36):
Can he Pikets good? They're coming up. The Texans are
going to start to explode offensively, they have a lot
of weapons there, very underrated and hey, last week they
said we got the right guy in CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Hard to argue with that. Give me the Texans getting three.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Just wonder how much time we'll get to say TJ.
Watt as he's jumping all over CJ. Stroud because of
that offensive line being so lackluster. But it is fun,
no question about it. I'm looking at a short underdog. Yeah,
injuries all over the place, but Bateman and Beckham haven't
exactly done a ton.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Cleveland given two at home. We'll see if there's moving
on this one. Because Deshaun Watson probably are gonna go
We're gonna see Dorian Thompson Robinson, a guy we've watched
a lot in our Los Angeles tenure while he was
there at UCLA for so many years, and so many
starts over under on this.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
One though, thirty nine thirty nine.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
But I'll take Lamar Jackson to make one more play
with his legs to get us over the total.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Miami and the Bills. Give me the Dolphins. It seems weird, right,
Wait a minute, A team that scored seventy points last
week or the underdogs? Yeah, does it seem like a
trap game? Yeah, except every time I've seen what looks
like a trap game this year, it's not.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Well, I don't know you call it a trap game.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I mean, Buffalo is one of the preseason favorite, man life,
they just scored seventy sucks Buffalo loft to the Jets. Buffalo,
it's a long time at Wilson Aaron Rodgers had five
snaps that game, though a long time ago. Buffalo is
not great. I told the beginning of the year Buffalo
is not great. Yes, they've won big there last two weeks,
(32:13):
but they've beaten nobody. Now you're playing the best team
in the AFC. Watch what happens Miami is going to
roll over them offensively. They're gonna win by at least
two touchdowns. I don't need the three points, Mike, but
I'll take him because you know you're offering it to me,
But I won't need him. Dolphins went on the field.
I mean, who if the Dolphins played. I was waiting
(32:34):
for Frostburg to.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Chime in there because you hate New England. I just
had to do it.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Going to Beburg's gonna be a little bit. No, Okay,
you didn't say anything.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Okay, okay, it's still in better shape than I am.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
That's aid well, exactly, low hanging fruit once again, gentlemen.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
As we rolled through.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Uh obtempted to take the Bears getting three and a
half at home against Denver forty seven to total.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
So maybe the.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Seven, yeah, maybe some points actually scored in that one.
But as we flow it through, looking to try to
find ourselves some value on the old board, I'm gonna
take the Giants plus one and a half, hoping that
finally it sinks in that you got to play more
than two quarters out of your first twelve plus one
(33:25):
and a half against Seattle.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
And maybe it'll be every other week Daniel Jones is good.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
If he just has a big second half, it'd be
every on Dale Robinson.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Watch for him to have a bigger role this week.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Exit out about a Fresca exs Weald. If somebody's got
a bigger role because there's nobody else doing it, well,
Nixon guys, get Nixon Cruz back, they'll be the ones
making one.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Where's Lawrencetown coming up next?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Got a big story out of Major League Baseball and
a big one out of the NFL. Maybe Aaron Rodgers
listens to our show that's next?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Right here, Fox, a few Rodgers

(00:47):
dot com the way tire buying should be. So again,
we do things no one's ever done before. We previewed
two games a few minutes ago where the combined teams
are zero to twelve, but these OZ and three games
are pretty intriguing. We'll get to so many reasons right absolutely,
like the Chargers and Vikings last week, the loser leaves
(01:07):
town effect to it all and then watching the coaches
say no, no, no, no, no, here's my giant foster size
scan of beer that you need to hold while I
show you how to screw up the coaching.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
They try to make me watch the broncos.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I said no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
So we'll get to that in a minute.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
But today is a huge anniversary, and I don't get
why this hasn't gotten more attention, because usually when a
day like this happens, it becomes a big deal. All day,
there's interviews, there's look backs. It is the ten year
anniversary of the end of Breaking Bad, the final episode
in the sixty two episode Perfect Game run that Vince
(01:52):
Gilligan had no spoilers. The final episode Felina ended ten
years ago tonight, and I was stunned. I said, fed
the pam, I said, this can't be right. The final
episode of.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Breaking Bed was ten years ago tonight. She was like, no,
ten years.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
It feels like it was just like, you know, five,
six years, ten years ago tonight, the final episode.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Of Breaking Bad.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, I mean that was for me when I was
doing video stuff over for Fox Sports dot com. Uh,
that was the only episodic television I watched during a
football season, right fall, Everything's New. I would get home
from the video studio after waiting not jaymore, and we'd
finish our stuff and it'd be like, all right, what
am I watching? All Right, they're gonna play Breaking Bad again.
So sometimes dinner was left, sometimes not so much. Sometimes
(02:37):
you just had to run with it.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
But you know the reason you can't sell it, you
know so well today is you couldn't have any of
these guys on their their shows to promote because of
the strike. I mean on social media, there could have
been some kind of you know, you're not promoted, You're
you're you're commemorating the end of the run, right, and
it's not like, hey, here comes a new you know,
it's not like people have DVDs anymore to new DVD
(03:00):
coming out, not anymore. Netflix sent out their last one.
Did you see what it was? No?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What was the last one?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
True grit Oh, that was the last DVD sent out?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Uh, you know they still had over a million people's
still getting the DVD service.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, but I think they said, didn't they say that?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I thought I read somewhere where they said and if
they don't get them back, okay, like you know.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well they sent them out, like they literally sent them
out whenever they had in the vaults.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Uh for the last one. It's like, here's a bunch
of freebies.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, don't take them and see and here's me. Because
I remember being young enough when I worked at Blockbuster Video,
like Friday nights was always the worst.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It was somebody had to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
They said, all right, someone's on calls, like no, not me,
not me, And you had to call all the people
that had the most outstanding balances like that either owed
the most money or owed movies for the longest time.
And I hated doing everybody hated it because you would
call and either you would have to say at the end,
I couldn't get anybody on the phone.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
You'd leave a message because you all.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
These people aren't aren't answering their phones, or you'd get
them and they would pretend it wasn't them, or they
would say they send it back, or they would say no,
I don't have it anymore and stop calling. And it
was the most It was the worst thing. It was like, please,
don't put me on calls. Don't put me on it.
But every Friday night was at to try to call
to get something back, to get a movie back, or
can you drop it off? And it was, and it's
(04:21):
always was impossible to even get people on the phone
to talk.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
That was the worst job ever I had.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
To bring that bring that'd make me think about that,
Mike Harmon, why'd you do that to me?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Because sometimes we need to go think of where we'd been.
And for all of you out there in that job
you don't like and buy all surveys, that's ninety percent.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Of you there are hope for better days, better pay checks,
better opportunities.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
That was just keep working.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now, Jason.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Did you guys put a hit on them if they
didn't bring it back?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
No, it was what it was anything to do. They said, well,
eventually we're going to charge your credit card. Like that
was the whole thing. And I was nine for there
was a lot of money, right, like if you had
a VHS of a movie. It was I think after
we use it though, was like fifty nine bucks was
what it was.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Think about that way.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It was still, you know, fifty nine ninety nine for
Ernest goes to camp.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
But I said, how how long do we go? They go, oh,
usually go three months.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Then we do it. I go, so enough time for
someone to not you know, to throw that credit card
away and then you know, get new ones. Oh, you
gotta charge a credit card. Okay, so yeah, that's when
you would always get people coming in when you would
charge a credit card.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Oh wait, wait a minute, where was I never got a.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Phone call, sir? It says here we called you every
Friday for the last two and a half months.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Oh I never got to need those call.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Never gonna need those messages.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
That's not my phone.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
This call for six minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, oh that's out. I never got that. I never
knew this. No, this is ridiculous. You can't do this.
I must have been kid. I got I got legal,
I got legal options to come get you with. Oh,
it was just that. That's when you would charge. That's
you'd get the irate cutswerds coming in. And they would
all come in like it was wwe Like they're coming
out of the locker room because someone's getting beat up
(05:54):
in the ring and it's oh, here I come house
of fire. Out that you can tell everybody, hey, uh yeah,
you want to go to that line right there. Yeah,
I'm doing the best is that they always showed up
in those circumstances on a Friday night when it was
really busy, knowing they could probably bulldoze you because you
just had to make something happen.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Sure, there's call an issue with twenty other people.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Can you can can you wait over here? We have
to check these people out there. We're very busy right now, sir, sir,
can you just wait here for a minute. You just
wait for a minute. Uh no, that's what it was.
Oh man, but hey, happy ten year anniversary Endo Breaking Bad.
It's of the top three series I've watched in my life,
Breaking Bads in the top three. I understand where it
(06:37):
might not be some people's cup of tea. The the
the subject matter is tough. It's drugs, and it's kids,
and it's brutality, and it's it's you know, it's difficult.
But the one thing I don't think you can argue
is that I don't know that there's been a show
where you can point to every single episode and say
(06:58):
it's as perfect a job as you could do, Like
there was no episodes that were clunkers every episode, even
though you knew that, Okay, for most of the show,
Walter White's not gonna die, Jesse Pinkman's not gonna die,
but still the drama was so compelling. There could be
a scene where Walter White is just making eggs in
the kitchen. You're like, what's gonna happen, Something's gonna happen.
He's making eggs for like thirty seconds. Something's gonna happen,
(07:20):
Something's gonna happen. And it was just it kept you
on the edge of your seat. And I don't know
that there's ever been that kind of quality in every
single bleeping episode, even the Fly episode. I liked Walter
the way through, from beginning to the end. I don't know.
I don't know there's been better than that.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
No, Hey, look it was musty and from what I
gather and people that I know, they actually really took
effort to make sure the math and the chemistry actually
was right, as opposed to most show. They gotta add,
nobody's gonna pay attention to any of the people. Do
people do? And my favorite also.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Is the the Great Bad Finger song. If you go
try to look it up and add it to your playlist,
and maybe you go to YouTube. The first live performance
of it you're gonna find was from the nineteen seventy
two television show, where a shaggy haired Kenny Rodgers says
ladies and gentlemen bad figure and then they go into it.
(08:17):
At the end of your first year, Discover credit cards

everything you earned doubled. Seriously see terms. Check it out
for yourself at discover dot com. Slash match now. Meanwhile,
some NFL games where teams actually have wins that are
gonna be big on Sunday, and one of the big
games I believe it's the national game that most of
the country is gonna get to see the Patriots and
(08:38):
the Cowboys, which sounds like a the oh hey, the
Patriots won. No, this game is gonna be awful for
New England and it's gonna look worse for the Jets
because the Patriots, who just beat the Jets are gonna
get roundhoused by the Cowboys. Dallas is going to roll
simply because Dak Prescott is better than Zach Wilson. Look,
the Patriots may score sixteen again, but the Cowboys are
(09:01):
gonna score thirty or thirty five. The only reason the
Patriots won is because the Jets offense is abysmal and
Zack Wilson stinks and Bill Belichick can beat the Jets
with his eyes closed. It's much different now, going to
play a Dallas team that is pissed after last week,
that has hopefully got their heads back on straight, that
hopefully understands we need to be playing with a little bit
(09:23):
more precision and not get loose like we did against
the Cardinals. The Cowboys are still really good enough to
beat this Patriots team badly because the Patriots are not
good all right, dud. This wasn't a get well win
for the Patriots against the Jets. This was a hey
for one week, we can enjoy an ex hal because
it's the Jets and we're just And Belichick left the
field laughing at the Jets like he's done for the
(09:44):
past fifteen years. Ah the Jets. Yeah, no matter who
the coach is, I'm just laughing. And he's watching Sala
walk off the field really mad because he's stuck with
Zach Wilson the whole game and Zack Wilson stinks and
the team is falling apart, and Belichick's just laughing, going, Ah,
the Jets. Best thing I ever did was resigned after
getting named their head coach. Ah the Jets. He's gonna
(10:05):
be ninety years old in a rocker, just sitting there
left and going, ah, I heard that Jets game from
twenty sixteen or that Jets game from twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Oh, that was fun.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And the rest of his days when he's done coaching,
is it gonna be laughing at the Jets. But it's
gonna be back to reality. This week, Cowboys roll and
this is a game that's not gonna be close.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Forty three and a half, you're over under six and
a half.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Cowboys favored at home, and I say this defense is
up to the task, and they flummis Dak Prescott and company.
I don't think the Cowboys are necessarily as good as
they were. You know, people had hype them they'd beat
up on the Giants. I don't do we know what?
We think the Giants stink at this point, don't we?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Sure most people think they stink. And the Jets are
the Jets, and the Jets stink. So how good could
the Patriots really be?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
The Wow? How good are the Cowboys? Though?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Okay, they went out and they got punched in the
mouth by Arizona. Why can't they lose these guys too?
Cowboys first two weeks scored a ton of points, didn't
give up any I'm pretty sure the Cowboys are better
than the Jets, pretty sure.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And I'm just gonna.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Say this, I don't think they're running away and hiding
in this game. I think the Patriots defense will be
up to the task. I don't know what's going on offensively,
we still have some question but Zeke Elliott ran the
ball really well last week.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
In conjunction with Ramandre Stevenson. You got a nice two
man backfield working there. Passing game. The tight ends, all
three of them played a role. I think the Patriots
going sting him. It's it's one thing to play three
dbs down against the Jets, It's another thing against the Cowboys.
It's another thing against CD Lamb. And look, Dak is
(11:44):
still a guy that's gonna make plays, right, He still
at the worst. Dak Prescott is a is a ten
to fifteen ranked quarterback in the NFL. Zak Wilson is
dead last. He is DFL. He is dead last. Well,
just have nobody ruled out for this one, just just
the no. What I'm saying is it's easy to look
at the Patriots say they dominated.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yeah, all they're down. Nobody said they dominated the Jets.
It's a fifteen dead game.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
The Jets to the Patriot's defense didn't dominate that game.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Of course they did. That couldn't do anything because but
I think the Patriots have a good defense.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Is the point that it got to shine on a
whole other level against the Jets. Of course, you're me
and nine of our jetass buddy's gonna shine against the Jets, Dude.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I don't know that.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
If I got a guy that can, if I.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Got one guy that's got some speed that can hang
with Garrett Wilson in the secondary, I got a chance.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Yeah, US two's ty Shirt and myself can take on
the Jets.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
We don't need nine. I don't think we need nine
more guys. Maybe we could do it with like seven.
We're just gonna have a four to three. What about
your defensive backs?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Now, we don't.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
We're legitimating that. I need two guys with some speed,
one guy to shadow Breiese Hall running around the other guy,
Garrett Wilson. Otherwise I'll take my chances because Zach Wilson
ain't gonna get rid of the ball with any level
of efficiency or proficiency to get it into a space.
So here he does, and when he does, he's not
(13:08):
going to throw it past the ten yard mark?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Or so, why are we defending that area?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Show?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
That's oh Man exit? How about a Fresca exit?

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Ten o'clock. Really ten o'clock in the morning, gonna play

Speaker 5 (14:54):
Really well, it's the way it works.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
They've got the rights to it, they just and that's
where it needs to stay instead of moving it into
another window, because let's face it, the afternoon, you've got
a lot of a lot of choices in your life
getting out there and after it, get it, get that
game in early, right, right, off the jump, especially West Coast. Hey,
(15:18):
you're just getting up. Maybe you walk the dog. Maybe
you're having that second cup of coffee. Happy National Coffee Day.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh, I don't mean for us watching. I mean for

Speaker 5 (15:28):
For us time you play football. Oh, it's too damn bad.
Get up, let's go the more.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Thing you're playing at ten am?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Come on now.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Meanwhile, something's going on in college football right now that
we need to get to for a couple minutes. Here,
Maybe you've been watching BYU and Cincinnati. Pretty good game
here on a Friday night. BYU is leading Cincinnati twenty
one to ten. And the quarterback for BYU is Keten Slovas.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yeah he is.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
And it's not Keaten Slovas's Sun. This is the same Keeten.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Slovas that plays with USC back in twenty nineteen. And
you know, hey wouldn't be the first guy to peak
as a freshman in college an unbelievable freshman year for USC.
Not quite as great the next couple of years. Then
he went to Pittsburgh for a year to not have
a great year. And now he's another college football journeyman
quarterback with his third team, although he is having a
(16:19):
decent year for BYU who's three and one. He's got
a touchdown throw tonight. But this is the same Keten
Slovas that potentially could have gone number one or number
two overall the draft. When you think about where he's
expected to go after his freshman.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
He's on the Stinson Bennett Scholarship.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oo.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Man, he is.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
He's gonna graduate from college when he's thirty seven years old.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Thirty seven?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Shut up?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
But hey, good for him. Man, all these guys petitioning.
Wasn't there just a.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Story the other day.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
I have a guy petitioning for an eighth year of college.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, eight years Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Hi. That was the advice some folks used to give
folks back in the day. And avoid the real world
as long as you can. Yeah, gonna go. I want
to go get my masters, want to get my doctorate.
How long have you been in the school. I'm thinking
for this. I'm thirty years old. I'm hanging out with
twenty one year olds. I want to pretend like I'm
the smart guy.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I want to date all the hot twenty one year olds.
That's what I want to do.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
I'm that guy and that drop your McConaughey line.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
All right, all right, all right, now, not that one
I get older.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
They all stay the same age.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I mean really, when I think of that, I think
of the the guy getting his doctorate, who's got no
direction in life, but I'm gonna stay in school forever.
And then he's the thirty year old. Yeah, he's in
charge of everything in the house because he's thirty. He's
in charge of making the sending the checkout for the rent.
Everybody else is like twenty one, twenty two years old, like,
and I'm the cool guy, madam, the old guy. Yeah,
third and thirty, I can go by the beer. I'm
(17:47):
the guy on Friday nights and Saturday nights and everybody's
back from drinking or hanging out. I'm the guy that's
spout knowledge on the couch while we're watching a movie
at two thirty in the morning. I'm spouting knowledge.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
That's me. I'm that guy. All right.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
You want to be that guy, don't you that guy?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You've thought about being that guy, or you've written a
sitcom treatment to make yourself that guy.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
When I was I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I can't imagine people who go to college for five
years just because the majority of the people you hang
out with or the people you meet as a freshman,
right and you go all the way through. I couldn't
imagine going back to school, going I don't know anybody.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
I don't know school.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You make enough friends around like the fifty year I mean,
because you've got eight internships, externships, whatever.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I mean, five years fairly common anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
You know now it is now, But I'm talking about
when I graduated in the nineties, it was hey, uh,
you know, everybody graduated in four years. People didn't stay
for five. And now it's become more of a thing
as people staying for longer, uh, and doing that and
not and not going crazy taking overloading yourself with classes.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Which I hey, I'm with you, I hear that. I
just can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
It's so foreign to me though, going all my friends,
everybody on the floor where I lived, everybody that I
knew they were, They're all graduating. I'm gonna come back
and live with new people off campus.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yeah, I don't I go.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Do it now?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
When I was done, I was done.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I still remember walking out of my final class, anthropology
because I had to take a I had to actually
take a qualifying class senior year because.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I missed one when I was a sophomore.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And I walked out of that last test, and I
took my book and I threw it in the air
as eyes. I threw it higher that I threw my
cap at graduation, I.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Threw that thing.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
So it's going I never have to take another test
as long as I live. I'm done with school forever.
And I threw that thing, so had many traditions. I
did not take part in the whole throw the hat thing. Yeah,
the the cap stayed in my hand.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Look at you holding on to that cap.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Well, what if I'd hit someone accidentally and it hit
him in the eye. Now I'm liable for that problem.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
But they how do they trace it back to you? Hey,
the guy, I would have my DNA on it. They
wouldn't find DNA in nineteen ninety four. Come on, man,
that's not happening. I ain't haven't come to much later,
much much.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Later, Jason.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Wait, wait, all the Jets take Keaton Sloan to this
set number two?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Now there no, you want to talk about a twist
to the draft. Let me tell you. Now, I think
we're done with BYU quarterbacks. I'm just thinking we're done.
I'm thinking we're.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Done for I mean Zach Wilson's QB one.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I'm thinking we're done g QB two. Let's go Nay,
I think it's one of those FOLLY one. Shame on
you fool me.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Need this.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, it's for us. The NFL and fans need Aaron
Rodgers back. That's what happened. Aaron Rodgers. He needs to
come back. That's what has to happen. Got him back,
Got him back.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Now, we got more NFL coming up in a bit.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Mike and I are gonna give you our upset special
picks in college football this week. But two big stories
out of Major League Baseball tonights. We are watching teams
compete for the final couple of playoff spots in both
the National and American League. The Wild Cards are still
up for grabs. Division slop for grabs in the AL West.
In the American League, right now, Seattle is thumping the
(21:04):
Texas Rangers, so likely they're going to gain another half
game on the Astros end, they'll gain a full game
on the Rangers. Who right, I'm telling you, Ranger fans
are in such panic mode right now, going we had
to Grom, we traded for Surezer. We're gonna lose all
of these games and the playoffs are gonna start on Monday,
and we're gonna be out after leading this division for
(21:25):
the entire year. Like there's so much panic going on
in Texas right now. Well, but that's s the beauty
of it, right is that you have those moments and
the way they've added wild cards and chaos all along,
and you, I mean, you hate the term, but you
cannibalize each other when the division's pretty good overall, and
for the West outside of the abject failure that is
(21:47):
your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, but he else actually
came to play most days, and even the Angels were
interesting for a while, and then September happened, and then
Trout was her again and then show hey what left uh?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
And all of that. But no, this is good for baseball.
It's a good run, and.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
For Seattle to still have life to be clawing uh
to a little bit of hope is good for the Rangers.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Let's let's call it what it is.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You've been cheering against him ever since they added your
former met No no, no, no, I have no Look do
you think you think I wanted to have Jacob de
Grom now, who's out for all of this year and
next year?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Come on, man, can't can't do that, can't do that.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
No, it's just it's just crazy at the rain. We're
so good with Rangers are so good. Look how good
they are now. It's like, hey, we could get swept
here at the end by the.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Murders, not even make them playoff.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
But if you're the Rangers fan, though, you know, you
haven't had any nice things since uh no, and Ryan
beat up Robin Ventura.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Oh yeah, it's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Well what man, you had Ron Gonzalez? You had, you
had Evon Rodriguez. We've got questions about all. I mean,
look at all the people that lined up to see
Juan Gonzalez last week. I mean was pretty cool. That
was pretty cool. That was pretty cool. But the American
League for a team not in the playoffs. Just for
a second, the Yankees lose tonight to the to the Royals,
(23:13):
and it's not that big a deal because both teams
have been eliminated from the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
You know, yes, the Yankees losing the.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yankees lose to the Royals twelve to five. The Royals
scored nine in the bottom of the first inning off
of Carlos Rodon, who failed to.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Retire a batter.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
He did not retire a batter in the bottom of
the first inning before getting the hook.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Seven plus million per win this year.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
This is Look, this is the exclamation.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
This is the cherry on top of the blank Sunday
that the Yankees have had all season long. And Rodin
was their big acquisition. Like all season long, you felt like, oh,
the Yankees, we got a tread water. Oh, ro Don's
our big guy. We can't get him out there. We
can't get him out there. You know, he's had a
great year last year with the Giants, been a really
good pitcher for a while your White Sox. And then
(24:05):
they finally get him out there and he's awful. And
he finishes this season not retiring a batter, giving up
eight runs in six hits.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
He's three and eight and his era is over six.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Now hear the good.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
News on it for the Yankees, there is no good news.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
They got another five years of it, six years, one
sixty two.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Jason, I mean, this is just awful, and this is
why And then, like I said, it's the exclamation point
at the end. We talked about this a few weeks ago.
The Yankees will be unrecognizable in the spring. You watch
how bold they are this offseason because it looks like
they're stuck, but you what they're gonna They're gonna spend
money to buy themselves out of contracts, to get prospects,
to make trades and bring other guys in because you
(24:49):
can't just show up back at spring training and go, yeah,
we're just gonna try to bang the dens out of
what we have.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
No, you have nothing. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
There's still two games over five hundred. That's the big
thing we should focus on. This Yankee team is terrible,
and still they wound up overachieving because there are two
games over five hundred. That's the real way to break
down the Yankees, because this team is awful. I know
Garrett Coles won seventy nine of the eighty one games,
but this team is still awful, and when you look
at what they have for next season, they're stuck behind
(25:17):
a lot of money that they really would love to
get out of, and they're gonna have to pay money
to get out of Stanton. They're gonna have to pay
money to get out of other players. They're gonna have
to include young players to trade off some of the money.
But they need an overhaul and absolute overhall. It's gonna
be a new manager in Aaron Boone, and it should
be a new four or five new players coming in
(25:37):
and playing every day. I can only guarantee a couple
of guys will be in the starting lineup for the
Yankees beginning of next season. And that's gonna be judging tours.
Everybody else is what are we gonna do? Hey, you
signed lemeye dam, but you know what, you can move him.
He's just been okay. Uh. There's other guys that need
to go, and new blood needs to be brought in.
Not only that need a new way of thinking. Knew
(25:57):
what because what Cashman's been doing has just slowly been
deteriorating over the last few years. The Yankees have stopped
being aggressive, they've stopped really trying to win. They've stopped
wanting to trade their prospects because they're afraid, and they
need somebody new in that chair that's gonna say, hey,
guess what, we got new ideas coming. That's what the
Yankees need and you know, maybe think about it.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Was this, Mike.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
This week was Syracuse basketball started practice, you know, Adrian.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Autry taking over for Jim Bayheim.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
And you know, look, I Beheim my entire life, right,
and I'm nervous about what's next, but I'm excited that
hopefully things can change a little bit. And I read
in a preview that one of the writers who wrote,
you know, hey, Adrian Autry's practice is starting this week,
and now it's going to be exciting to see what new,
more modern tweaks he brings to Syracuse. And I stopped
(26:44):
for a second and I said, oh, my goodness, you know,
for all of Beheim, as great as he is, as
great a coach as he is. When I read that,
when I read that statement, I said, yeah, man, that's
you know, it's like a whole new world opened up.
That Why am I nervous at all? I mean, the
team hasn't been good. You know, they still getting good recruits,
but they've not been good. Yeah, this is something that's
(27:07):
absolutely needed, and it needs, you know, a new way
of thinking and new some and you know, they're gonna
play more modern defense, They're gonna do and I think
Syriacus is gonna have a pretty good seat. They've got
a really good trio of guys coming back, led by
Juda Mins. I'm pretty excited about that. But when I
read that line, it just all clicked, like, Yes, what
am I nervous for? Why am I thinking?
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
How are we gonna get away without Beaheim? Can we
still recruit like we did all these different things when
when clearly a new start is what's needed, and that's
what happens with the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
A new start is needed.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You can't bring Brian Cashman back and think it's gonna
be the same old thing. It's got to be someone
coming in saying, Okay, guess what it's time to cut
It's time to cut money and pay people off and
move out and use some of our resources. Because I'll
tell you what, mister stein Brenner, We're not gonna do
well unless you want to bite the bullet and spend
some money and do that.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
You got a lot of money coming in.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
From the TV contracts, but there's got to be a
bite the bullet off season if you want to be
competitive next year.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
This is what you need to do. If the Yankees
want to be competitive. This is what they to do.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Yeah, I mean the biggest thing is philosophically, the baseball
changed and we've seen teams struggle that are still living
and dying by the old ways. And part of that
is a put the ball in play b get on
the bass paths to move. Volpe had twenty four stolen
bases twenty one and sixty right home runs RBI twenty
(28:21):
four stolen bases in twenty nine attempts. Problem is strikes out.
A ton doesn't put the ball in play on balls
batted in play, hit almost two sixty. His average for
the year two oh seven had some positive moments, took
some steps forward, but we're looking at the batting average
right and keeping guys healthy.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Right.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Philosophically got to change some things, and you were banking
on big contributions and that next level to come up
from Jason Domingez, Well he had to have Tommy John
So is he gonna be ready to go because you
only have one DH slot although Stanton's never available, so
that should be available for Domingas a right.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
We need another exorcism out of a trainer's table and
the training room just like we do in so many
football locker rooms.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Living with Zach Wilson. Nit a new quarterback? Maybe Taylor
Swift can throw the long ball?
Speaker 6 (29:24):
What did this song ever do to you? Gotta bring
Zach Wilson into the lyrics? What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. We do it every week here on
the show, we give your upset special picks for the
week in the NFL four and two after last week.
And for all of you who think, well, how much
does the half point really matter? Well, when you say
give me the Saints in one and a half against
the Packers and the final score is eighteen seventeen, it
(29:54):
means quite a lot. So here go Mike and I
giving you our picks for the week, and I'm gonna
kick things off. Give me the Texans getting three over
the Steelers. Ooh, look at you. I'm not sold on
the Steelers. Their defense is terrible. This is not the
every year oh TJ. Watt has got. The Steelers defense
is bad.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
They're the third worst team against the run.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
This is a week where the Texans offense gets untracked,
especially running the football with Damian Pierce, because offensively they
look like they're coming. CJ. Stroud was really good last week.
Tank Dell is uncoverable. This is gonna wind up being
one of those weeks where you go, oh, we need
to reevaluate the Pittsburgh Steelers. We thought lafter last week.
(30:36):
Can he Pikets good? They're coming up. The Texans are
going to start to explode offensively, they have a lot
of weapons there, very underrated and hey, last week they
said we got the right guy in CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Hard to argue with that. Give me the Texans getting three.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Just wonder how much time we'll get to say TJ.
Watt as he's jumping all over CJ. Stroud because of
that offensive line being so lackluster. But it is fun,
no question about it. I'm looking at a short underdog. Yeah,
injuries all over the place, but Bateman and Beckham haven't
exactly done a ton.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Cleveland given two at home. We'll see if there's moving
on this one. Because Deshaun Watson probably are gonna go
We're gonna see Dorian Thompson Robinson, a guy we've watched
a lot in our Los Angeles tenure while he was
there at UCLA for so many years, and so many
starts over under on this.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
One though, thirty nine thirty nine.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
But I'll take Lamar Jackson to make one more play
with his legs to get us over the total.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Miami and the Bills. Give me the Dolphins. It seems weird, right,
Wait a minute, A team that scored seventy points last
week or the underdogs? Yeah, does it seem like a
trap game? Yeah, except every time I've seen what looks
like a trap game this year, it's not.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Well, I don't know you call it a trap game.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I mean, Buffalo is one of the preseason favorite, man life,
they just scored seventy sucks Buffalo loft to the Jets. Buffalo,
it's a long time at Wilson Aaron Rodgers had five
snaps that game, though a long time ago. Buffalo is
not great. I told the beginning of the year Buffalo
is not great. Yes, they've won big there last two weeks,
(32:13):
but they've beaten nobody. Now you're playing the best team
in the AFC. Watch what happens Miami is going to
roll over them offensively. They're gonna win by at least
two touchdowns. I don't need the three points, Mike, but
I'll take him because you know you're offering it to me,
But I won't need him. Dolphins went on the field.
I mean, who if the Dolphins played. I was waiting
(32:34):
for Frostburg to.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Chime in there because you hate New England. I just
had to do it.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Going to Beburg's gonna be a little bit. No, Okay,
you didn't say anything.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Okay, okay, it's still in better shape than I am.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
That's aid well, exactly, low hanging fruit once again, gentlemen.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
As we rolled through.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Uh obtempted to take the Bears getting three and a
half at home against Denver forty seven to total.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
So maybe the.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Seven, yeah, maybe some points actually scored in that one.
But as we flow it through, looking to try to
find ourselves some value on the old board, I'm gonna
take the Giants plus one and a half, hoping that
finally it sinks in that you got to play more
than two quarters out of your first twelve plus one
(33:25):
and a half against Seattle.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
And maybe it'll be every other week Daniel Jones is good.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
If he just has a big second half, it'd be
every on Dale Robinson.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Watch for him to have a bigger role this week.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Exit out about a Fresca exs Weald. If somebody's got
a bigger role because there's nobody else doing it, well,
Nixon guys, get Nixon Cruz back, they'll be the ones
making one.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Where's Lawrencetown coming up next?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Got a big story out of Major League Baseball and
a big one out of the NFL. Maybe Aaron Rodgers
listens to our show that's next?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Right here, Fox, a few Rodgers
