Speaker 3 (00:52):
I had a flash of one hundred different one liners
that went through my head, and I decided not to
utter any of them in that moment.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Oh very nice, very you.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Know, self selection, self preservation, sure, and everybody else just
nodding along because you thought the same things.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
We have a big visit from Todd Furman coming up
in a bit our Vegas Insider look at the Big
Games on Saturday, and Sunday in the NFL and college football.
But let me just say this. You know it is
Friday the thirteenth. Happy Friday the thirteenth. Oh, by the way,
the you know, I can't believe we've We've talked a

(01:34):
little bit about the different Friday the Thirteenth movies tonight,
and I just watched the one with Jared Padleki, which
was the big reboot of the franchise, you know, fifteen
years ago, and it was pretty good, right, like, like
I've seen that before. It's pretty good. You know, Jason's
traveling through tunnels underneath Camp Crystal Lake, and it's pretty interesting.
And they got a really good guy playing Jason, where

(01:55):
he really seems just he's so menacing and strong. Where
if you go back and look at some of the
Jason's and like Friday the Thirteenth Part three and four,
you're like, it's just a dude wearing a mask. Man,
That's all it is, is some guy wearing a mask.
I really am surprised we haven't seen another movie. It's
been a long time. It's been almost fifteen years since

(02:18):
we've seen a Friday the Thirteenth movie. And Halloween we
get new movies and new trilogies all the time, and
Jamie Lee Curtis has done six Halloween movies in the
last three years, and we just keep seeing it. Yes,
and yes, we've seen so many Halloweens, but it doesn't
matter because the jump scares are something we all love.
And yes, we see other horror movies now as well.
But how has there not been a Friday the Thirteenth

(02:39):
in the last fifteen years? I mean, I don't understand.
At one point, Lebron was even supposedly going to be
producing a new Friday the Thirteenth with his movie studio,
and we still haven't seen a Friday the Thirteenth since
two thousand and nine. I mean, it's about time. It's
a time for Adjason reboot, something else, something a little new.
You gotta tell me there's some horror fan hum some

(02:59):
horror riter has some kind of great ideas to make
Jason Vore. He's much more relatable, not relatable like he's
got oh I feel related to that guy, but.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
We get a little more of his background story here,
and I.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Mean more relatable to the audience that will accept him
as you know, one of the biggest villains of all time,
not like, oh, I see he had something going on
in his past. There that was you, that was you know,
him him drowning when the when the counselors were having sex. Ah,
I could see where that screwed him up a little bit.
I feel bad for the guy. No, but there's got
to be something for it. I can't believe an.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Appen a sympathetic.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Sympathetic for hees.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I got problem. I got problem. Sorry. Look, look he
has a psychiatrist and you're worried about the psychio. He's
gonna wind up killing a psychiatrist, you know, laying on
the couch with his mask on.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
But we already did that to Donald Pleasants over in Halloweens.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
So that true. There is that, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I mean, you got that going for it. But but
to your point, and really, I like the idea of
a writer is gonna get creative and what you don't
have to be?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Now that is true.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
If the trailer looks good and there's ample amounts of
fake blood, I think people are in I think, especially
for what the production budgets of those films reportedly are.
I mean, unless they've been lying this whole time, you know,
between production budgets and then marketing, sales and everything else,

(04:22):
it doesn't cost much to get one of those things
to the screen, So it seems obvious that you do that.
And even you know, I know, we had a couple
of iterations of Freddy Krueger, and you know, Robert England said, Hey,
I'm too old, I'm done. How do you not go
take a look at that again? Like that's a whole

(04:42):
other thing. We'll get into the psychological stuff again. You know,
that's in vogue in a lot of other movies and genres.
And A twenty four tell me they don't. They couldn't
dig a stab at that.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Ah, I see what you did right there, take a
stab at that.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
I like that. I dig in it smart and funny.
Can I say, ah, there you go. I just say
it should happen. I don't know why, and I really
am stunned. I'm stunned they have it's been that long. Really,
I mean, Jason's a cottage industry as.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Hockey mask is iconic, you know, But then again, what
do I know, Mike Carmen, I'm just a guy that
can make a lot of money for Hollywood. That's just me.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Well, but I mean that's it, that's the next ventures. Right,
We've perfect AI and we've got a couple of ideas,
and then certainly we can go global because Tay Shirt
with his anime, you know outreach that he's got, I mean.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Think about it. We go global, man.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
We already are here at Fox Sports Radio. The iHeartRadio
app goes everywhere. Take us with you wherever you go, evangelize,
send it to family friends. It's the best gift to
keep giving, all right. It's free. It's twenty four hours
a day, seven days a week, and all you gotta
do is pay for a card and maybe attach a
beer and away you go. But with with Tay Shirt
and the anime thing, come on, there's a whole other

(05:56):
horror world to be explored there through anime.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Now, speaking of horror world, this could be what Colorado
could have coming their way. In the fourth quarter of
their game tonight, yeah they are. They were leading Stanford
twenty nine to nothing at halftime. Was a big night
for Shadur Sanders. He had already thrown for three touchdowns.
It was a great first game back Travis Hunter playing again.

(06:21):
He caught a touchdown in the first half, he's got
nine catches for one hundred yards in this game. Great
to see him back. Hey, Colorado's gonna roll. Stanford stinks.
Look at what's happening with them. They're terrible Stanford town.
All Stanford has done is score nineteen unanswered in the
fourth quarter, and they have the football now with thirteen

(06:42):
minutes to go in the fourth quarter. A twenty nine
to nothing game has turned twenty nine to nineteen. But wait,
they're still leading by ten. Stanford has first in goal
at Colorado's one yard line. It's it's about to be
and they're bet that they score. You're ahead of me
by a couple of seconds. It's now twenty nine, twenty

(07:06):
five extra point pending. This is now twenty six unanswered
from Stanford in the third and fourth quarter. Oh boy, Colorado,
good luck. You blow this game. I don't know what
Deion Sanda's gonna say in the postgame.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Prescott, well, you know you'll see the extra point, which
is curious and curious her, but it goes through. So
we've got ourselves this game. But there's a shot of
Deon Sanders as they're going to break and he's just
standing there, absolutely stone faced as the graphic comes up

(07:40):
and remind you of where we're at. So, I mean,
it is some next level stuff going on in this game.
As Steve alluded to in the update. I mean, you're
talking about penalties for days for Colorado, and you've gotten
some unnecessary roughness. You've gotten at least one, you know, taunting,

(08:00):
you got a substitution in fraction at the goal line,
you name it. They've been able to find their way
to check a box for all these different penalties. So
it's been pretty difficult here Colorado at present. Fourteen penalties
for one hundred and six yards fourteen.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
PAC twelve after Dark.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
You know, yeah, thanks to Jon.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
But before we get to the big thing that you've
never seen before in a college football game, I guarantee it,
we haven't a couple seconds, I promise, But we wanted
to give you the update on this game is that,
you know, all the fun the PAC twelve after Dark
and how crazy games that we see on Friday nights
or Saturday night games in Oregon or Washington or Arizona
where teams like USC or or you know, the undefeated

(08:48):
teams go in and lose the PAC twelve outside of
the mismanagement of Larry Scott obviously, because now it's the
PAC two and in the PAC twelve is done. The
PAC twelve has been a really fun conference. The thing
that has crushed them and led to the end of
the PAC twelve is that they don't have that dominant team,
more teams year and and year out that you can say, hey,

(09:09):
they're a threat and they're in the College Football Playoff.
If they had put more teams in the College Football Playoff,
then it would have been a different story for the PAC twelve.
But the PAC twelve has always been seen as the
weakest of the Power five. Yeah, the heyday of USC
being the rock stars of college football. Man, that's Helen gone.
I was going Pete Carroll left for the NFL, the.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Rat from a sinking shit and you.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
And you certainly get years where hey, Washington is undefeated
through nine games and they're ranked high. And you know,
I'm not saying you don't get teams that are ranked high.
You do. But then they always find a way to
fall short, and whenever it comes down to it, they're
never going to get the votes over an SEC team
or a Big ten team, or outside of that, a

(09:54):
team like Oklahoma out of the Big twelve. They're never
going to get the benefit of the debt the one
loss team. That's not going to happen for him. So
you have to wind up being perfect. And the PAC
twelve has never been perfect, but they have been really fun.
And that's one thing that has gone by the wayside
here the last few weeks talking about the death of
the PAC twelve is that these games have been fined,

(10:14):
like anybody can beat anybody, and you have really good teams.
But at the end, when when the dust is settled,
how can you say the PAC twelve is a strong conference.
It's hard. I mean, it's fun, and we have good teams,
and the games at night are insane and there's all
kinds of crazy stuff. But it's a lot of people
didn't see the games and don't pay attention because look,
if you're not undefeated, people aren't gonna pay attention. Everybody
was up, everybody was up watching USC Arizona last week.

(10:37):
Why because USC is unbeaten and boy, if they go
they lose this game, what the hell is gonna happen.
It's twelve o'clock at night, one o'clock in the morning
on the East Coast or watching overtime with USC and Arizona.
But if USC had lost, it would have been Okay,
that's done. It's too bad, because that's the thing is
the PAC twelve, of the PAC twelve after dark, it's
just had a vibe and it's had a fun thing

(10:57):
and it's kind of not didn't catch on the way
you would think something like that would have. But if
you had had a big team year and year out,
or hey, every year there's a Pac twelve team in
the College Football Playoff, it would have been different for them. Yeah,
I think one of the big things.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
I mean, obviously you made myriad bad business decisions. Good job,
Larry Scott. That that crippled the conference and the television
side of thing. Even sitting here in twenty twenty three,
it's so glaring and magnified, right because you see the
buckets of money everybody's got, and then you'll have the

(11:35):
game that's going to be on the Pack twelve network
like Colorado last week, right, oh wait on the PAC twelve.
Nobody could see it, you.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Know that kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
So yeah, excitement, Oh no, so you have that that
still is just such a sore thumb to it. All,
but the other being that when they these teams have
had these tremendous runs and we could use Washington, I
think is the example. You know, our guy's softy probably

(12:06):
cursing at you for picking them tomorrow, by the way,
the idea that you've had Washington on these great runs
and when they stubbed their toe, it's never against one
of the other top teams in the conference. Right, that's
usc the last few years. Right while we talk about
I don't know, lookout for trips to Arizona, either Arizona
or Arizona State. It may not be good, but they've

(12:28):
jumped up and bitten the best teams in the conference
at the absolute worst time. So it becomes the yeah,
not only did you lose a game, look who you
lost to. And so that's that's the other thing the
conference has had to deal with because you start looking
at when you lost and the quality of lost and
it comes back to get them.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
I'll tell you, we just watched Travis Hunter catch a
touchdown pass and get absolutely obliterated. He now has two
touchdowns on the night. He's up over one hundred and
thirty yards receiving. He goes over the middle and catches
a pass and just gets drilled a big hit, high

(13:09):
shoulder pad by the safety and he hits the ground
like a shot and it is like, oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Did teammates got to him about as fast as you'll
ever see teammates get to again.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
They picked him up, looked like they were gonna help
him off the field, but no, he got up, He
walked off the field. Looks like he's okay, and he's
getting some congratulations right now from Shadora Sanders. That is
one tough kid. Man, Holy, he just real. I mean,
is this over the middle and he just got decked
and still of the football, giving Colorado a ten point lead.
Now still a lot of time left, leven minutes left

(13:41):
and Stanford's coming back. But man, that was some kind
of catch by Travis Hunter.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
But I mean that that throw that Sanders made earlier
in the possession to Weaver a forty eight yard I
mean just threw it up and he outran the defensive
back by a good eight yards and it was laid
out perfectly to up what eventually becomes the touchdown. It's
like Stanford gets back into the game. All of this,

(14:06):
all this excitement, dejection on the sideline and they come
right back out and hammer home a touchdown reception just
like that.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
I mean a shutter went through me when I saw
that hit. It's like, oh wow, that's one of those.
That's a hospital ball, right, that's all that's right.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
He left his feet. It's diving across the middle of
the end zone and he's in the end zone. So
some might say, why is the guy going to blow
him up? But you know you're trying before the feet land.
If you can dislodge the ball, you take the hit.
So happily he gets to the sideline on his own power.

(14:44):
As they go to the commercials, showing hands on his
hip and just exhaling, so it looked like he dodged
what could have been a very scary moment there.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Now we're going to play for you something I guarantee
you've never heard at a college football game. For this
From the first half, when Colorado was in a laugher
right there, winning it's twenty two to nothing. Everything is great,
but the officials didn't really like something that was going
on off the field, so they called time out to
make sure everybody knew something had to change. What was it?

Speaker 5 (15:19):
It was this with the public address announcer please stop
playing well Stafford is information ready to stop the ball
anyone playing.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's the people were playing of music.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Stop playing music w sound effects?

Speaker 3 (15:44):
What do you think they pulled out the do Minion's
fart gun at some point.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
I've never seen the PA announcer get warned. I mean,
I've never seen that. I've seen other warnings. I was
at the snowball game when Joe Paturno yelled at everybody
in the Penn State stands stop throwing snowball the other
team and there throwing snowballs in Michigan. I've never seen
the PA in now to get more. Hey man screwing,
I'm gonna play the songs. Coach Prime is gonna be
fine if I do it. He's gonna love me and say, hey,

(16:11):
I like that. Our PR guy was screwing with Stanford
while playing songs not supposed to. I've never seen the
PA guy get born.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I was laughing the other.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Man, well, you know, and you heard a little of it.
Obviously we're doing the show, so I wasn't you know,
audio up and cranked here, But certainly as the official
cracks as Mike, you hear you know certainly a lot
of sound being pumped in, but I have had show
up on my timeline a couple of times, Jason, where

(16:41):
an organist got thrown out of a baseball game for
playing three blind mice and the home playing umpire turned
around and ejected him.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
I think I remember that story. That's a pretty good one. Yeah, yeah,
oh boy, I've never seen that before. The pit stop
anymore playing of music. He sounded like a dad. You
turned that music off and go to bed. If I
hear any more muss turn around. We're not going to
the movies tomorrow night. You can forget it all right, dad, Sorry,
I'll turn the music off.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Happy Friday to thirteenth.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's a Friday the thirteenth. Boy, it certainly feels like Colorado.
This might not be a Friday the thirteenth. They want
to relive. A twenty nine to nothing halftime lead has
turned into a thirty six to twenty six lead with
Stanford deep in Colorado territory. They ripped off twenty six
points in a row before Travis Hunter, in his return,

(18:49):
caught a touchdown pass to make it a three point
game or to make it a ten point game again.
But Stanford is driving. Still a ton of time left.
There's seven minutes left to go in Colorado. Colorad doesn't
want to be the team that blows this game on
a Friday night. Oh my goodness, Dion Sanders, ooh, he's
not gonna be appy.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
He's gonna say I told you in like those late starts.
My kids are in bed by nine, That's what it was. Yeah,
none of them go out later, hang out. They're not
just young kids. No video games, no, no.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Are you kidding? They're all reading books and going to
bed eight thirty bedtime. Let's get ready for the next game.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
That is right streets a Boulder.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Colorado leads again thirty six twenty six, seven minutes left
to go and Stanford is on the Colorado ten yard line.
We'll have more on this game coming up in a
couple minutes. Steve de Sager will have the update for you.
But Mike and I gonna give your upset special picks
in the NFL this week in a couple of seconds.
But this is something that is becomes a bigger deal.
We're talking about him a little bit more this year,

(19:47):
and not for the reasons I expected, but big injury
news today in the NFL. Two quarterbacks not playing this week.
Daniel Jones out, We thought that was happening neck injuries
out for the Giants. Good luck there, They're good wind
up being one in f Deshaun Watson is not gonna
play for the Browns against the forty nine ers. And
not only is he out this week, he could be

(20:08):
out more weeks. But this is after he had been
cleared to play a shoulder contusion. But maybe we don't
see him for a while longer and after this week,
and you see what's happening in the dust is settling
and what's going on in Cleveland. I have a hard time,
Mike believing that Deshaun Watson's gonna see the end of

(20:29):
his contract in Cleveland. And this is despite the fact
that they're not paying him anything last year or this
year and everything big hits next season. Here's forty five
million next year. For how long can you go on
with this? Can you really do three and a half
more years of this product? Because the brown signed him,
they gave him all the money, guaranteed that all the

(20:49):
favors for Deshaun Watson, and they got a lot of
heat for it. But Jimmy Haslam just thought, well, when
we win people aren't gonna care. When we win, it's
gonna it's gonna broad brush everything. People will talk less
about Deshaun Watson's past, and people will forget how much
that when we win, it's gonna be worth it. But
here's the problem. The Browns haven't won and Deshaun Watson
hasn't been good. And not only that, he's got controversy

(21:11):
this year. You have the the two face mass penalties
that he got in the nationally televised game earlier this year,
and now his teammate's not happy. They weren't happy. He
sat out the game last week after being cleared. Now
he's gonna be out this week. Maybe more. Does Deshaun
Watson even care? Everything is turning against him? And every

(21:32):
time I see him speak, he just has that air
of I don't give a crap man. Two hundred thirty
million dollars guaranteed, I don't care. I'll say the right things.
I'm not gonna go out on the field and when
I until I feel like I have to go. But
come on, dude, you're medically cleared. No, no, not feeling
they can't go out and do it. Not gonna do it.
I got two hundred thirty million dollars coming to me
and I'm not gonna do it. So I find it

(21:53):
hard to see how this goes forward and the Browns
can can put this product and put him out there
for the next three and a half years. I don't
see it. I really I'm looking at a huge headline
in a year or so where the Browns say we're
just gonna eat all this money and we're gonna have
eighty million dollars a dead cat money or whatever they're
gonna do and try to spread it out for whatever reason. Again,

(22:15):
money can always be figured out to an extent. Maybe
it's okay to Seawan, we're parting ways with you here,
we're gonna give you a new shot someplace else, but
we're gonna we're gonna pay you over the next three
years as stead of this, so we can spread the
dead cat money out. Whatever it is. Money can be
figured out. But I really can't see them, even though
it's it's it's a big money issue with what they're
paying them, I can't see them saying yes the rest
of this year, in two more years, we're gonna keep

(22:37):
going forward with the Shawn Watson, with the way things
have gone. They've gone horribly since he's come back, and
it's not looking like it's getting any better. And bottom
line is, you don't know how much the guy really
wants to play. Is he sitting out this week because
it's the forty nine ers, Hey, man, go on forty
nine ers defense man, I'm not down with this, man,
I'm sitting out. I can't see this going on. I
can't see him seeing the end of that contract.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Well, And that's the difficult part of it, is trying
to parse through what Stefanski said and what medically cleared means,
right cutting through the noise? Does that just means structurally sound?
And then it's a pain tolerance thing from there because
if Stefanski, if that's what he meant, he needed to
clarify that right that we're in a all right well structurally,

(23:19):
but we need to be cautious with it. Whatever he
did him no favors. And you're already talking about a
guy that doesn't have a whole lot of space in
which to operate of his own design purpose, you know, everything,
whatever you feel of the off field, whatever you want

(23:40):
to term it. Jason, he served a suspension, was away
from the game, and now you talk about all those allegations.
That means once you get back on the field to play,
people are watching, right because people have their poison pens
waiting for you to fail. But then you start getting
reports based on what Stefanski said and the way it
was trade was he just decided not to go. And

(24:03):
if you're his teammates, well now you're gonna have descent
in the locker room. And the hard part is who's
taking that on. Right, This becomes a situation, the rare
one where with Russell Wilson, Discarnold, okay, still good enough
for somebody to think they could fix and be the
missing piece. With Aaron Rodgers, we knew he could still
play football, right, so get him out of the room.

(24:26):
He goes to the Jets, and away we go. With
Deshaun Watson, You've got not only the baggage he comes with,
you've got the giant bag of cash you would have
to pay and whatever you would work out with that
has them. I still don't think any team's jumping on
board that because we've been hyping up all these other quarterbacks, right,
We're talking about Pennix and Nicks and all these other guys.

(24:48):
The kid from Penn State. Just keep going on down
the line. You got quarterbacks for day Shador Sanders playing
in this game, and of course everybody's thanking for Caleb Williams.
That who the hell's bringing on Deshaun Watson and any
bit of that. Contracts are in a horrible spot.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, it's hard, but I but how can you when
you say, can you really do this next three and
a half years? The year?

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (25:09):
No, year?

Speaker 3 (25:10):
At some point you just gonna have to bite the
bullet and just say, all right, it's dead cap and
we're screwed for another two years. You've been a Browns fan,
You've been used to that since they came back in
the league. What did Steve say? Thirty six different quarterbacks,
which means next one is thirty seven.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
We'll give you our upset special picks coming up in
ninety seconds, but first, another touchdown on the board in Colorado.
We'll talk to a guy who had the over in
this game, so he's very happy. It's Steve Desager with
what's trending?

Speaker 6 (25:41):
You keep breaking these gambling references, throwing me in a
corner here. We had college football road wins for Fresno
State and Tule. There's no way Stanford was gonna win
on the road tonight. They're one and four. They don't
score that much against real opponents in Colorado. Well, let's
be honest. They're showing off their defense again. They led
twenty nine nothing over Stanford, but it was twenty nine

(26:03):
twenty six early in the fourth quarter. Colorado thirty six,
thirty three right now with five minutes to go against Stanford.
Colorado star Travis Hunter, who missed the last three games
after taking an illegal hit, returned and had a TD
reception in the first quarter. In the fourth quarter, he
did have a personal foul on defense in the second half.

(26:23):
In fact, fifteen penalties for Colorado in this game. A
reminder Saturday on Fox TV Number two Michigan host Indiana,
then Iowa at Wisconsin, and Saturday Night number fifteen Oregon
State and quarterback DJ luianglial A hosting number eighteen Ucla
on Fox TV. We'll talk about DJ in just a

(26:43):
couple of minutes. Yes, Deshaun Watson out again for the
Browns this weekend with the bad shoulder. PJ Walker will
start as Cleveland host five and oh San Francisco Giants
quarterback Daniel Jones is out with a neck injury. Tyrod
Taylor will quarterback in Buffalo Sunday night for the Giants,
who are one one and four. Carolina running back Miles
Sanders is out with a bad shoulder. The oh to

(27:04):
five Panthers will play at Miami. Carolina also has two
safeties out and running back at the Lions. Jamier Gibbs
out this weekend with a bad hamstring. However, Detroit wide
receiver aman Ross Saint Brown should return. He has no
injury designation. Bucks wide receiver Mike Evans will return from
a hamstring injury. Three and one Tampa Bay host Detroit,
which is four and one. Lions tight end Sam Laporta

(27:26):
listed questionable with a calf injury. The Bears have three
running backs out this weekend, including Khalil Herbert, who's now
on IR with a bad ankle, so perhaps Deontay Foreman
will have to start. Sunday is Chicago one and four
will host Minnesota. One and four. Texans wide receiver Tank
Dell questionable with a concussion. Wide receiver of Jacksonville's A
Jones out with a knee injury. Patriots wide out Juju

(27:49):
Smith Schuster out with a concussion. New England's at Las
Vegas Sunday. Raiders wide receiver DeVante Adams is off the
injury report. He had a bad shoulder Monday night Dallas
at the t Argers. Cowboys running back Tony Pollard practice
fully today. He was limited in practice yesterday with a
shoulder injury. Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa misspractice again with a
toe injury, but full practices again for Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert,

(28:14):
running back Austin Eckler, and safety Derwin James. Bengals wide
receiver T Higgins with the rib injury listed as questionable.
After returning to full practice today, he's called a game
time decision, as Cincinnati will host Seattle as for baseball,
the ALCS starts Sunday night on Fox TV Texas at
Houston and Rangers veteran pitcher Max Scherzer with the strained

(28:34):
shoulder through a bullpen accession today. He says although it's
not his decision that he's ready, he was not on
the roster for the divisional round. Rosters will be set
Sunday morning for the ALCS. The NLCS starts Monday night
with Arizona at Philadelphia, and by the way, the Phillies
in their current ballpark have a postseason record of twenty

(28:56):
six and eleven. That winning percentage over seven hundred currently
stands as the best for any team in any ballpark
in the history of the postseason. The Mets at Shay
Stadium in playoff games were twenty six and thirteen, Phillies
twenty six and eleven. Right now in the NHL wins
for Arizona in a shootout and for Pittsburgh in a shutout.

(29:18):
NBA two Exhibition Spurs beat the Heats victor Wembenyama twenty
three points in twenty three minutes. Golden State down the
Lakers one, twenty nine, one twenty five Steph Curry eighteen
points in about twenty minutes. Chris Paul Now with Golden State,
had four assists five turnovers tonight, and guys are rarety
in high school football. Tonight you had nationally a top
ten matchup. You may have heard of. Modern Day High

(29:40):
School from southern California seven to zero this year, ranked
number one in the country. They were at Saint John Bosco,
their LA rival, who's ranked in the top ten. Modern
Day the place where Matt Liner was quarterback and Matt
Bartley and JT. Daniels. In fact, the big games in
LA in recent years were quarterback Bryce Young and Modern
Day against Boston Go and quarterback dj Uiongolile. So we

(30:02):
had this build up tonight and Steve Sarkish in the
head coach of Texas was there, and Lane Kiffin from
Old Miss was there. Modern Day had not trailed all season.
They got shut out twenty eight nothing at Bosco in
this game tonight. These two had played in the Rose
Bowl last year for the Division one title in Southern California.
It was a Bosco narrow win, not close tonight. In fact,

(30:25):
Modern Day's first year coach indicated to the LA Times
he thought the opponent had figured out his team's hand
signals back to you.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Oh the bank of the trash can. That happens, that happens.
Thank you, Steve the Jason Smithzer with Mike Carmen lovethtyrack
dot Com Studios. Mike and I do this every week.
Give are upset special picks in the NFL. We're gonna
kick things off and I'll tell you right away, Mike,
give me the Colts getting five against the Jaguar Minsh Mania.

(30:54):
These these games are you know, these these AFC South
games are close, and Gardner Minshew has come in and
played well. I well know Anthony Richard. Anthony Richards a
superstar and he's an unbelievably exciting player. But Minshew moves
the team. He puts points on the board. Zach Moss
is fantastic. And now you got another week of Jonathan
Taylor who is coming back from from coming off the

(31:16):
pup list. Josh Downs looks like a pretty good wide receiver,
and the wide receivers will gain more fantasy value under
Gardner Minshew. But bottom line is this is a tough
Colts team and you have the Jaguars team coming off
that big win over the Bills in London. They'll be
a little flat. I'm gonna take all five points. It's
not one of the things, John, I'll take the Cults.
I don't need no, no, no, I'll take all the

(31:38):
five points in this game. All right.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Here's a stat for you. Eleven teams have returned from
Europe without a bye week. Every one of them was
tied or trailing at some point in the fourth quarter
of the next week. That's from the Action Network on
Twitter earlier today, I had the gut feeling that you'd
be going with minshew mania because you love him, so man,
I am looking at the creamsicles coming out off their

(32:00):
bye week. Mike Evans slated to be available, forty four
year total, Detroit coming in a three point favorite. They've
got a laundry list of players on the injury report.
Looking for Tampa Bay's defensive front to make some noise
and for Baker Mayfield to continue his resurgence.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
The second game. I'm gonna give you, and you know
I love them more than other teams do. I will
take the Texans getting to over the Saints. We're not
talking about CJ. Stroud enough. He is everything you want
out of a quarterback. And yet Anthony Richardson gets the
conversation Bryce Young not playing well. CJ. Stroud is doing
exactly what you hoped a guy taking number two overall

(32:43):
is going to do. He is a tough player, he's
a leader. The teammates already talk about what they think
about him. It's all good for him on that on
that aspect, but watching him play, this is a guy
that's aggressive. He throws over the middle a ton and
he's accurate, has not gotten picked off despite the fact
he is aggressive. We're not talking about how good a

(33:05):
player he is. He is fearless, he is accurate, he
is smart and making the NFL look easy this early
in his NFL career. Yes, the SAME's defense is tough,
but you know what Demico Ryans and the Saints they're doing.
Demigo Ryans and the Texans doing a great job there
and they're just a couple of plays away from having
one loss. Yeah, give me the Texans in this game,

(33:26):
getting too I'm not gonna need the points. I'm gonna
win on the field, but I'll take him as you know,
kind of a fun thing.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Nicely, dude, I'm hoping to see your guy Tank Dell
in the mix. Nobody loves AFC South football more than
Jason Smith. I'm gonna go and I'll take Seattle, another
team coming off their bye week on the road at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati three point favorite here forty five. Looking for the
sledgehammer of Kenneth Walker the third to get things popping

(33:53):
and for the passing game. I'm looking for Smith and
Jigba to be a little bit of a wildcard cincinnat
He's got the guys to make things a little difficult
on the outside. I think Smith and Jigba can be
a little bit of a difference maker for Geno Smith
and these Seahawks this week.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
So there it is our upset special picks for the
week in the NFL Twitter at how about a Fresco
Mike get swollen down The Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Carmon coming up next, we have more
on this stunning Colorado Stanford game. Shador Sanders has just
overthrown Travis Hunter on third and short. It would have
been an easy first down, and now Stanford's getting the

(34:33):
ball back with three minutes left and a chance to
turn a twenty nine to nothing halftime deficit into a victory.
We have that, we have the play of the night.
We have all kinds of Colorado drama. Keep it here Fox.

Speaker 2 (34:50):

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

I'm Doug Gottlieb. The podcast is called All Ball. We

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon, What's the Like Live Deliciously? Tell you Colorado?
Hoping to live deliciously? But Stanford twenty nine seconds left
to go. They have the ball of Colorado's forty five
yard line of completed pass puts it inside the thirty

(35:53):
Stanford first and ten now with one time out left
to go, twenty two seconds left. A touchdown would be
the ceiling play from a twenty nine to nothing deficit
they would have come back from to win this game.
But I gotta tell you one thing, Stanford's gotta go faster.

(36:14):
They took wait, they took way too much time. You're
trying to win the game or not. You're at the
point now you have one time out left, but there's
fifteen seconds left. You let twenty five seconds tick off
the clock instead of using a timeout from one fifteen
left to fifty seconds. You're trying to win the game.
You've been scoring touchdown after touchdown on Colorado. Why are
you shorting yourself time? You can't settle for a field goal.

(36:36):
You gotta go for it, and they went way too
slow and now they're twenty nine yards away with fifteen seconds.
So it's like, how many how many plays do you
have left? Two plays? One play before you gotta kick
a field goal and you're gonna have the timeout sitting
in your pocket. And that's that's just awful for Stanford.
I really they needed, they needed better clock manage when
you're on this final drive.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Look, I understand the philosophy of I don't want the
ball going back into Shirder Sanders' hands and all, but
even at the start of that drive, right you get
out of the shadow of your end zone, you have
the punt, which I still want to see a proper
angle of like the one I saw, Like, didn't that
go out as it balanced? Doesn't it go over where
the pylon? I don't know whatever, But they moved the ball,

(37:18):
But then they weren't really looking for operational efficiency and
a little bit of lolligag and getting up to the
line of scrimmage. Even then, with what two minutes plus left,
I mean, it's been a great drive. And look, I'd
keep going back at that Stoutmeyer guy. He's either clutching
and grabbing or he's turned around so you can get

(37:38):
after him. But you know, once again that's's armchair quarterbacking here.
Get him caught in this another substitution penalty. They've struggled
with that all night. Dion Maykill is defensive coordinator. Before
the night's over.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Stanford tries to run a quarterback sneak. It gains them
a few yards, but they use their final time out.
They're facing a fourth and nine looking for a field
goal that could send the game into overtime. We'll have
more on this play coming up in a second, but
first we have the Play of the night and the
Play the Night is of course brought to you by
Progressive Insurance. Because Progressive Insurance sponsors the Play of the Night,

field goal, the play. The Night's going to be a
warning because when Colorado was up big in this game,
they were feeling it all the way from the sideline

(38:36):
to the PA announcer. Here's the official reprimanding the Colorado
public address announcer with the public.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
Address announcer, please not playing well, Stafford is information reading.

Speaker 8 (38:49):
It's not the ball anymore playing. It's not playing the music.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
It's you and your sound effects, your wacky sound effects.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
If I have to hear tears for fears one more time,
we are not going to cancel this game right here,
not happening. We are going to have overtime. Stanford with
the field goal ties the game at thirty six. And
I'll tell you this about Colorado, Mike, because this is
this is something that is a you know, no matter

(39:25):
what you think about Colorado. First of all, if they
lose the game, you know, Deon Sanders is gonna blame
the late kickoff time. You were good until it was midnight.
Once it hit midnight, my players got tired. There's gonna
be a big anti referee. We're the home team. We've
got twenty penalties tonight. But I'll tell you what you know,
Colorado may not be a good team, right, because they
are struggling now with Stanford after a big lead. But

(39:47):
Travis Hunter is a huge superstar and it is fun
to watch them both win and lose. There is no
traveling road show like Colorado. It's like they're the Taylor
Swift Concerts of college football because even here on a
Friday night, all the attentions on this game and what's
going on with Deion Sanders. Colorado's done that to college

(40:07):
football and they are still doing it even though they
have two losses. But having the game on Friday night
kind of helps.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Oh giant, big plays and you're the only show in
town tonight unless you're actually at the Taylor Swift movie.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Big Bolt prediction. I'll tell you one thing NFL going
in this weekend. Yeah, not only are the Eagles gonna
use the brotherly shove against the Jets, yep, They're gonna
run a play out of it, whether it's a reverse
or a or a play action pass, and it's gonna
go for huge yards. And they're gonna bust it out
this week against the Jets. Trust's gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
Bears beat the Vikings to create chaos, and if you
bet Stanford, You're a winner.
