Speaker 1 (00:47):
The Phillies get out of that bases loaded, two out
jam in the bottom of the seventh, one run scores.
It's a two run game right now. Phillies lead at
five to three as they bat in the top of
the eighth, one on one out. We will keep you
updated on this throughout the rest of the night. Boy
really thought it could open up for the Diamondbacks. There
you walk a run in and then Philly gets out
(01:10):
of it. I'm telling you, they look like a team
of destiny. I've already understand they're going to the World Series.
They're going to win.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Well, it's not quite the route that and route that
you expected. We've got people in the Instagram world in
writing me to say, hey, you won't be able to
go get.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Your HOGI at wah wah. Now you talked about it disparagingly.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, but but look, but I but just I think,
just by my action, it's okay. I think I could
just do it all.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You think you just fake it?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Oh, maybe maybe grow a little fake fake ass mustache, aren't.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
You Jason Smith? No, no, I'm Mike Harmon. I'm the
other guy. I'm no, not me. I love, I love.
I would have picked Philadelphia to win. Yeah. Look, look
go Bears. I'm a big Bears fan. Go Bears. Look
I love. I like the guy they got coming in. Now,
not Fields, I love the guy they got coming in.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Well, to be fair, I mean we we both did
pick Philly to win. You just the way you phrased
it is damn it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's inevitable. So I just need to ride the wave.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
It's inevitable. I'm gonna just.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Say, you're just standing there as a bystander with your
popcorn and your pomp pom going okay, Thantos.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh yes, do it.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'll just went just snap your fingers. Bryce Harper with
the headband and the beard and the necklace and everything.
It's yeah, and the yelling at each other and the
yell I think that's the main thing he gets me,
is that they're always yelling at each other. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
they're always just yelling at each other. I'm like, okay, okay,
I just like.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
When guys stand around when they hit momentous, huge home
runs and Schwarber's home run and I know the stat
making the rounds. I know dis Seger's brought it up before,
the fact that Kyle Schwarber now has more home runs
in the postseason from the left side of the plate
than any hitter in history. Yeah, it's really one of
the more shocking turn of events.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And he's still any one hit one ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
HiT's already hit forty seven bombs. It don't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, look how two ves is what three home runs
away from the most home runs in postseason history.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Ever, Like either side, it's ridiculous. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I mean he's about to pass Manny Ramirez.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And when you talk about you know, clutch home runs
and late game home runs, he's rewriting the record books there.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I'll tell you we'll have more baseball coming up again.
The Diamondbacks get out of the top of the eighth,
so they'll be coming to bat down a couple of runs.
But you know, I wanted to before we get into
into the NFL, I want to say this. You know,
normally when a celebrity comes out with a biography or
an autobiography, you know, you get all the best stuff
before and so I really don't need to read it.
(03:32):
I really don't have I don't want to read about, oh,
here's where your life was growing up. Like if you're
telling me you're writing an autobiography and it's going to
start by the time you've made it, Okay, great, I'll
read it, but it's okay, here's like fourteen chapters of
when I was a kid and this happened, and this happened.
But I got a news for you, man, I might
buy this Britney Spears autobiography the moment it comes out
on to think, so, dude, every day is something insane.
(03:53):
It's her and Timberlake and their relationship. And then the
sex with Colin Farrell was like it was it was
like we were fighting each other.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Are you hoping that every comes becomes like an eight
page thing like out of a trashy novel you'd buy
at the checkout count?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That what you're looking forward with your Colin Pharaoh story.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I'm just like, it's every day is something like people
in Hollywood are scared about this book when it comes
out on Tuesday, and every day there's something new, like, oh,
here's a Justin Timberlake stuff, here's the Colin Farrell stuff.
And at this point I want to tell her her publishers,
hey don't need any more teasers. Everybody's gonna want this book.
Everybody's gonna buy you want people to buy it. Don't
make it where I don't need to go buy it
(04:33):
cause you told me all the good stories.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
You don't need it.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Everybody's scared, nobody knows what's going on. Every day is
something new. I'm like, I can't wait to buy this thing.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
To the timber Lake side of things. Oh, I don't
know that's.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
There could be like I mean, maybe done with Timberlake.
Now we're onto other things. Now we're on other things
in her life and everything, and I can't wait. I mean,
this is gonna be this. I mean, I mean it.
I'm gonna wake up and go I'm gonna buy it
right get on my kindle right away, and like boom
oh fourteen ninety nine. Yes, give me that, Cause do
you know me? I'm a big library guy. I love
supporting local libraries. I got all my books in the libraries.
But there's once in a while where I go, oh, no, no,
(05:06):
I got to buy this book. And I'm gonna go,
where's that game? Where can I buy? Midnight on Tuesday?
Boom downloaded to Mike Kimball. No, but you want, you
want that hardcover. So it's sitting at your house.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So when friends come over and they see it, there
the conversations begin.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I'm telling you, man, I mean just the fact that
so many people seem to be really nervous about this book.
I'm like, what is possibly going well?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
But I mean, you had a full decade.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I read the little excerpt about you know, the understanding
of the Free Britney movement, uh, and what that meantor
and how they the nurses were explaining what was going
on during this conservatorship, and you know all the lack
of freedom for lack of a better term of what
was going on there. But it's it's an interesting story,
(05:56):
there's no question about that. Just a question of how
deep and how many names like the Colin Farrell fighting
thing was that because you couldn't understand him.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So it was just the easiest way to.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I'm sorry with your accent and it says I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Just really thick. I'm having problems here.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Listen, I practice. I'm going to be in a movie
called in Bruges. Okay, great, so I gotta practice my accent. Okay,
what did you say to me? I said in bro Okay,
never mind? Never mind. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen,
Life the tire Rex dot Com Studios. Now looking ahead
at this weekend, we've already seen some big quarterback moves
and look, today was Today was a big one because
(06:32):
we saw that I don't know how many people are
going to actually tune in, but the Raiders and the
Bears let's get it on, huh. All right, So no,
justin Fields, we know this. And so now Vince Evans
is going to play quarterback for your bears, Mike.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
That would be nice, No, that'd be cool.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
A little throwback, since throwback jerseys are the things, right,
the Eagles are gonna wear their Kelly Greens. We saw
the cream schools last week, so why not get the
Vince Evans out there.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, he got Tyson Pagent is going to be quarterback
and for the Raiders. Now we know that Jimmy Garoppolo
is out. No, instead of going to Aid and O'Connell,
which would make sense, Brian Hoyer is going to start
for the Rule.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Well, and i'll tell you you know, as this was announced,
and obviously you and I watching O'Connell as we did
during his collegiate career, and then the little bit we
got to see a little bit earlier in this season,
you know, and the heroics of the preseason included, and
Sandwich did in between. There there's a lot of clamoring
for him long term, but short term. I don't think
(07:33):
you expected him to be sitting at three and three,
coming into a winnable game on the road, where all
of a sudden the roads and the avenues for you
open up a little bit. The schedule as we talked
about the other night the next couple of weeks. I mean,
they're winnable games. So all of a sudden you get
Brian Hoyer. While he's not a world beater, you're looking
(07:53):
for someone to just guide the ship. And maybe he's
a guy who's accurate enough to shut DeVante Adams up here.
I'm just throw the ball to you twenty seven times.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
See. But I hate that thinking because Aid and O'Connell
proved that when they went when they shoved him in there.
And well not that I don't like the fact that
this could ruin my Big Bowl prediction, like my one,
my big Bull prediction. I know Connell was gonna start
half the games of the year for the Raiders this year.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well but I mean it came back to we knew
there was gonna be probably half the year without Jimmy
Gez Candy, who's the guy. So you know, we we
took the bridge, but it wasn't a long walk. But
it wasn't We didn't have to avoid a bunch of trolls.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
No, that is true. There's a grumpy old troll that
lives under the bridge. No, but O'Connell played pretty well
for getting shoved in there and move the team. And
I mean, this is the time you give them that chance. Right,
you're sitting at three and three. You want it. You
need to be a little bit dynamic. I don't like,
we're gonna go in and we're gonna run Josh Jacobs,
you know, ninety five times in this game and try
(08:53):
to win.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't want that's bad way to go.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
But I mean, but don't you want to find out
about the guy because you know, you know you're not
bringing Jimmy back after this year, Right, you gotta find
out about this guy. And he's a good player, and
this is your three and three. You can go to him.
And it's not like he came in and and the
NFL was too much for him. I get that. If
you thought coming into this game, boy, if we put
O'Connell in, he's gonna turn the football over a lot.
(09:16):
We're not gonna get a lot of offense. Let's go
with let's go with Brian Hore. I don't get that.
I don't get why suddenly after a game in which
Aidan O'Connell played pretty well, Yes, through a bad pass
at the end, but this is what happens when you know,
you're a third string guy. You don't get reps outside
of that. He played really really well, So to not
go back to him when he moves the team and
it doesn't make any sense. And again not because he's
(09:39):
gonna blow my big bold prediction by the Raiders by
not starting him, but it should make sense to go
to a guy that could give you a little bit
of juice and excite the team, especially you know, Devonte
Adams needs something. I mean, he's something. He's a guy
that needs a football, and maybe O'Connor, because you know
Jimmy's not throwing it to him, maybe o'conne's the guy
to throw DeVonta Adams a football.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Well, that's the worst where you're you're trying to find
your way into a legitimate winning streak, and you have
the choice of all right, here's a guy who hasn't
quarterbacked really much at all. He's got the pedigree and
the linkage to the Tom Brady world, and so you
think he comes in and he's the steady veteran and
(10:19):
just get in there and win, right, just win.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Baby doesn't need to be pretty.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Whereas O'Connell gives you a little bit of uncertainty, could
wing it around, could be all over the place. Bears
giving up two hundred and sixty seven yards per game
through the air, one of the worst in the National
Football League. By way of contrast, they are a top
ten team against the run. But we all know how
those jo yos, you know, you kind of pull on those.
When you're so terrible against the pass, Why would you
(10:47):
ever run the football so and you can just pile
up points.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
While i'd like to see O'Connell, I understand going to
the veteran, I'll ask Frostburg. I mean, if he wants
to chime in on this, since he saw Connell up
close and personal, what he thought when he when he
saw him against Chargers.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I was just another Raiders quarterback. But he's better than
Brian Hoyer. But I do want to add to this.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Either Josh McDaniels doesn't know this stat I'm about to
give you guys, or he thinks Brian Hoyer is bleeping doe.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Okay, this one, let's go Brian Hoyer.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
In his last twelve starts, he's owen twelve with seven
touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Well, I mean the seven seven and eight isn't terrible?
Wait wait wait wait wait did you many points.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Per game they scored? Wait?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Wait wait now, hang on, I want to make sure
you got right. Did you say Brian Hoyer or Zach Wilson? Oh?
I said Brian Hoyer? Okay, all right, very, I want
to make what do we do at the theaterback for
the Jeff quarterback resume? You have the right stats? Right,
I'm sure you have the right stats because that's a
very Zach Wilson likes that right there. It's a real stat.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I can't even believe that this guy was win twelve
and then starting they I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
It's the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
It's the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Why do you think I have the Raiders on my
never again list? I want to pick them to win
this game, but I'm like, they're on never again, so
I can't pick that. So instead, I'm gonna do what
I'm doing all night tonight. I'm taking the under. I'm
gonna take the under in this game. It's gonna be
sixteen thirteen. Get me the under.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I know it's saying you don't want to bet the
Raiders Bears.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Give me the under.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
But they certainly, you know, when we look at the
AFC West as a whole, I mean, just going back
to the point, it's like, do you think that Hoyer
is steady enough against a bad Bears team. I don't
know what Bagin's going to do. I mean, we saw
a couple of nice plays. Throws to Scott I did
laser one into Dj Moore over the middle, and then
under duress kind of did a all right, I'm bracing
(12:39):
for the hit, let me just chuck this thing up
moon ball pop gun kind of thing that ended that
game last week. But full week, everybody's talking a good game.
He's he's fired up, saying all the right things, great confidence.
So I don't know it is the Raiders. I mean,
(13:00):
like when it comes out to it, but at three
and three, they're a pain in that. The Raiders are
one of those teams that are just a pain in
the neck right now because they're not good. It's like
watching the Saints as we did yesterday. You know they're
not good, but they're five hundred going into Week seven.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Exit out bout a Fresco exit, swollen home. So I
have to pick the Bears by default because the Raiders
are on. I never got one packed into that. I
gotta pick it. But but I'm real, real, I really
love the under. I really do love the under. I
really think the Unders.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Hi, and welcome to another episode of Sweating Kimberl Fox

Mike Harmon. Craig Kimberl giving up a two out home,
a two run homer that tied the game at five.
The Phillies went to the bullpen, and it doesn't matter.
Diamondbacks are tying the game as I'm are going ahead,
(14:00):
as I'm speaking to you right now, Alvarado with a
Alverado comes in and gives up a single the left
center and now the Diamondbacks are up six ' five.
Devin Booker is standing in the crowd right now, putting
his hand up in the air.
Speaker 3 (14:16):

a video camera.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yes he is.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
He's advanced scouting for the Astros. Big, big goings on
in Phoenix. Will have more on that coming up. And
a bit Marino with a big single the left center.
They are still batting up six to five in the
bottom of the eighth inning, but time out to take
a look at all the big games in the NFL
this weekend and joining us now. I'm hot Line longtime
(14:40):
NFL inside. I do the same intro for him every week,
but I'm gonna do a different intro this week. Jason
Cole talks with us every single week, right Hall of
Very Good Voter and Cowboy Bees. Last week he told us, Hey,
I can't do my Friday hit. Can I go early?
So sure?

even a better wedding if you would stop to do
the hit with us from your reception.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
And then I thought about that. I thought about that
for a while. I wanted to be married for more
than three hours.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh all right, would bring bring Smith in to do
Jerry Jones impressions at the reception?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah, you're right, that wasn't Plus I might have been
drinking a little bit by them, just well, if you
us not not that I have not done the show occasionally,

Had you told us, we would have sent you a
sandwich at least we had delivered to the wed to
the reception.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
For you that we kind of split that among all
the guests. That would have been great.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
It'd be one hell of a sandwich.

Let me tell you, here's your sandwich from these knuckleheads
I talk on the radio.

We need more touchdowns, j Cole. These we have a
point snooze fest will not stand.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta get a good quarterback like this
is inevitable because we're coming out of a great scoring
age with a lot of great quarterbacks. You lose Manning
those Breeze who lose all those guys, and then Rogers.
You lose Rogers at the beginning of the season after
five player. I have reminded you know, that's that's what's
(21:05):
going to happen. And look the league. It's just I
was taking a look at all the quarterbacks because I
was having a discussion with somebody about, you know, how
good is Dak Prescott, right, and he's realized, like he
might be the eighth or ninth best quarterback in the league,
which is kind of an indictment abound the league, right,
Like he's just a really average quarterback, but he might
(21:26):
be top ten because of the sort of this brain drain.
We've had a quarterback now, which you hope is that
this group of quarterbacks were coming in this year, or
the rookie class from this year, they will develop and
then the you know what it sounds like, at least
two really good ones, and then maybe Shagar Sanders, you know,
(21:48):
comes in next year along with some other guys. Right
like if Penix is really I don't think Pennix is
actually any good, but there's some other guys who are
in that class.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Those are four hundred yards a week. He's got to
have some kind of talent.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
He's got to be good.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I just I just don't. Look, I don't believe in
that release. It's it's funky and long, and I just
don't think it works in the NFL. And and I
also don't believe in college stats translating. Okay, I just
you know, sorry, I just don't buy yah.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Pack twelve stand for hater hater If you played in
the ACC, you would like him?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Did you see Wait a second? Melissa Isaacson posted you know,
it was either Molisa Isaacson or Melissa Jacobs, and I
always forget that. I always get those two mixed up.
But one of them posted a Halloween picture from the
Bay Area that's that had two skeletons dressed up in
cal and Stanford uniforms with a sign that said rest
(22:42):
in Peace PAC twelve in front of it. It was
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I was, yeah, Amy Trask. Amy Trask pointed that out
to me. I was like, that's classic. It was awesome. Anyways,
I get look, you just have to get their quarterbacks
you want to fix scoring. That's as simple as that.
And Derek Carr being yeah, you know, Derek Carr being
(23:10):
in the top half of the league of quarterbacks. It's
just a huge indictment that the Raiders making this decision that, oh,
Jimmy Garoppolo is going to improve this yeah in what
like the half the games that he plays because he
was injured half the time. Didn't you know that, you know,
Josh McDaniels, didn't you figure that one out? Yeah, Like,
that's the only way you fixed scoring. You got to
have better quarterbacks, or you make it easier for him
(23:32):
to throw. But at this point, you can't make it
any easier than it already is.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
But at the same at the same time, it's I
think it's understanding that, hey, why not when you're sitting
here saying, all right, let's go up crazy for Jimmy
Garoppolo or Derek Carr. Then I watched the Raiders say,
oh no, we're going to start Brian Hoyer on Sunday
instead of Aidan O'Connell. Why wouldn't you start Aidan O'Connell
on Sunday. The guy's pretty good. He was, he showed
He showed him is when you shoved him in there,
he didn't do poorly.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I'm like, you press, Josh McDonald, why you're in trusted
to the judgment, Josh McDaniels. Are you saying, are you
questioning the ability of just.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Smarten up the old mott up?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The only guy I might trust Josh McDaniel's over is
if he's coaching a game against Brandon Staley. That's the
only time, Daniels.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
That is just a classic of those two. Brandon Staley go,
I'm going to go from it far on fourth to one,
my own, my own eight yard line next time. Like,
it's just take points, man, you're at home. You're at
home and you're holding the Cowboys down. You don't need
(24:38):
to get every touch. Just take the points, take the
easy points, and gamble when you have to gamp God,
fran Staley is it's so annoying to me. And the
thing about it is he has that look on his
face like, oh, yeah, I got nailed. I got them,
I s got to nails. I know what I'm doing. Like,
(24:59):
never mind, he's charges are doomed. But I hate to
say I hate to say that for Frostburg because I
love Frostburg. But they're doomed.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Well, here's the I can break the charges down even easier.
All this fourth down stuff he keeps going for and
I'm like, you know what, getting it on fourth down
is kind of a skill. Just stop doing it. Just
stop going for it. Just don't just don't do it.
You're not good at it. You're not good at getting
fourth first downs on fourth down.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
And fifteen You're fifteen and fifteen in one score games
in three years, Like this is not really, you're not.
We could have anybody just flipping coins doing as well
as you're doing. You're supposed to be better than the
coin flip. Okay, you really are. You're supposed to be
(25:51):
better than the coin flip, but you're not. You are
the coin flip. That's all you are. You're coin flip daily.
That's what you're your nickname, coin flip.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
There you go, hey, we got to get that T
shirt made of him on a penny or something.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I want I want a little bit. I just made
that up off the top of my head. I want
to look. I want to slice that coin Flip Staley.
That's what his nickname is. I'd rather have the crazy
woman who was cheering for them to be coach.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
You as fired up, the.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Woman who thought you everybody thought was a plant, a
Goodell plant like I love that. The conspiracy theories of
Twitter are just so classic. But yes, find the woman
who was the Cadell supposedly the cadel plant who had
to come out the next day and actually deny it.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, you know, but you know that woman's going for
it on fourth down all the time. I mean you
think you think Brandon Staley not every fourth She wouldn't
even dress a punter.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
We're just going to go for it on fourth down.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Oh no, no. She has to be more sensible than
coin Flip, like she really does have to be.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
We're not even broke it down they flip.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
He's just going to be called coin Flip. How's coin
Flip doing this week?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
That's what we're doing this Sure lost your surname.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, but yeah, he's now he's now flipped. He's like
he's closely related to Flip Saunders. So anyways, thinking of this,
like what are the Bears going to do with the
one and two overall pick harmon, what's going to happen here?
I'm betting Alt and Bowers, Like that's what I'm thinking.
They're going to go offensive tackle insight end.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That would be the Bear sounds about right.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, yeah, they're going to go Caleb Williams and Lincoln
Riley that's what it's.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
No, No, don't go bringing that guy.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, you're still getting Lincoln Riley. You're so getting it.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I might auction off my fandom.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
He wants out of USC so bad because they're USC
is not even like that's the one that I keep hearing,
like the USC is not even paying the guys that
they promise to pay. That's the classic, like there are
no We're give you three hundred thousand, and then the
kids are like, where's the money? Oh, with in the mail?
With in the mail. That's an LA thing to do.
(28:08):
That is that is a total LA thing to do,
is make the promise like they're going to be the
ones who tipped the scales of n I L No. No,
we actually have to have contracts now, like we actually
have to draw this stuff out and you have to
put the money in like escrow or something like that.
That's what we got to do. That's going to be
the USC way and that's why. Yeah, Lincoln Riley's leaving,
(28:29):
there's almost no question of that. So yeah, he's going
to be the coaching Chicago. But Caleb Williams. They will
probably take Williams and May though.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
No, there he got competition.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, when the Cowboys took Aikman and then got Steve
wallsh it'll be the same thing, same thing, just a generation.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
The Guy Lombardo trade, remember with.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
The one.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
He's on titer at Jason Cole sixty two. That is,
at Jason Cole sixty two. With a change in eligibility status,
he is now newly married. Congratulations, buddy. We will talk
to you next week.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Thank you, gentlemen, I'll talk to you later.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
and tomorrow. We have a smorgasboard of big games and
there's a lot of pressure. But I'll tell you the
guy that's got the most pressure on him tomorrow. It's
not Caleb Williams. It's not the guy stealing the signs
from Michigan.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Well they threw him out, they put him on leave.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Now, Well it's not whatever new guy they got Itallian's gotta.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Go fight another career. Gee, I wonder what he could
fight himself. Some work in TJ.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Stallion can no longer roam free. He's out. We preacho fit.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
They call him what fire.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
The guy with the most pressure on him tomorrow, without
a doubt, the guy is Zach Wheeler. Because we just
watched the Diamondback come from behind in the game. Philadelphia
was looking to close out. They were winning this the
entire game. Philadelphia seemed to have it under control, and
then Craig Kimberl came into the game in the eighth
(30:10):
inning and everything changed.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Pre two pitch coming man, I'll fly ball deep right
center field.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
He has done it.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
This game is tied on a pitch hit on run
by Ala Thomas hop Kimbrol in the eighth five five.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Game Diamondbacks Radio Network on the call. It didn't end there,
Marino with a base hit to drive in the third
run of the inning. After Kimberl comes out of the
game and former Met Paul Sewald x x MET middle
reliever of course closes out, comes in and closes out
the ninth inning for the Diamondbacks, And now the NLCS
(30:50):
is tied at two games apiece. Look a couple of
big things now here, because this, this, you know, puts
a big dent in those Philadelphia fises. Hey, we're a
team of destiny plans because number one, Now, Kimberl was
your high leverage guy, right whether it was eighth or
ninth th ning, he was your high leverage guy. And
now I don't know that you can put him in
(31:11):
the in the city. Trust you can't. I mean, I
don't know if it's a if a game is a blot,
you need somebody to soak up some innings. But you
can't put him in the game again. And here's the
worst part is that you use seven relievers today, so
you need Zach. Zach Wheeler needs to have a Zach
Wheeler Cy Young type start tomorrow because the Phillies don't
have anybody they can bring in that are gonna be
(31:32):
fresh and right. And now, for the first time in
this series, the balance of power is shift and the
Diamondbacks are in the driver's seat because they have the
game at home, they have the fresher pitching staff, they
have the momentum of winning two close games like they
just did here. And the Phillies needs something absolutely immense
from Zach Wheeler tomorrow if they're gonna win, if they're
(31:53):
gonna win the series, or they're gonna go up three
to two going back home with two chances to win.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Absolutely KOs and you got your guys ce because you
had to bring him up. Uh he struck out the
side did give the double up to uh. Schwarber Metso
look at the Mets all, look at the Mets having
all these fingerprints are all over both NLCS and ALCS.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Hey, Verlander stunk today, doesn't matter. Paul Seawold was great today. Okay,
it worked.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Verlander had a pretty good start except for that one pitch.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah, but it counts though, well I know it, but
it's the old Wow, it was like watching a soccer
game or anything else.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
You played really well except for that eight seconds.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, yeah, but here's the.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
One that you tried to go high it outside and
you absolutely missed and he hammered it. And then he
stood there and you want to I mean, you did
the standing like a referee in basketball. You did a
ten count before he got halfway up there the line.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah you did. And look at Verlin's I like, Verlander
doesn't do that in the postseason.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
So it's all was completely Oh no, no, no, that's just it, right.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
His history well established for for Wheeler, it'll be curious.
He is a guy that's been pretty good to get
you deeper into games. Uh, you look at his last
five Stars. He's gone at least six innings in four
of the five, the other being a game against Pittsburgh
where he left after four. Gave up one earned in
those four innings, but he's worked into the seventh otherwise,
(33:15):
so you know, that's at least a positive sign. But
when it looked like it was an absolute walkover situation,
and we were channeling it and talking about it the
other night, going wow, it's just like a conga line
up there right now they're seeing beach balls, and just
like that, it turns what a crazy game of baseball right.
Two games today, you're seeing all the stats the old
(33:37):
Jason Stark gave you all those years ago. We always
see something new first and postseason history. Two teams rallied
from two runs down in the eighth or later to
win on the same day.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
And look and look the Mets fingerprints again because again
Zach Wheeler going tomorrow. Yeah, who knews that of all
the pitchers the Mets had right when they had all
those guys right, it was gonna be great. Who's the
guy that turns out to be the best, the guy
that let go the earliest, right, the one guy they said,
We'll keep everybody else as long as we can. We're
gonna keep Harvey, We're gonna keep de Gram, We're gonna
(34:08):
keep Stephen Mattz, We're gonna keep no. We got everybody,
but we'll let Zack Wheeler go because Zach will. No,
Zack Wheler's not to be the best and most dependable
guy of the bunch.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Well, more time to bathe than the antiseptic to get
the Mets off.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Him, I'll tell you, man, man, But hey, but wait
a minute, mate. You know Mets work tonight. Well, it
didn't work for her landa but worked for Paul Seawall.
It was kind of yin and yang.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
So the balance of the force exactly, Mason, just give
it three years. They'll bring Wheeler back, give him seven
hundred million dollars in, they'll suck.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Hey, Zach Wheeler's coming home. It's not gonna work.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
That's who says you can't go.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Then they'll trade him at the deadline, and then we'll
get Craig Kimbrel.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Why not and eat all the money.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Hey, that's future Hall of Famer, Craig Kimberl, who gave
up that big.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Hall of Famer, who Diamond Nax Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Well listen if it's a hall of very good. Yeah,
with Craig Kimberl in the Hall of Fame, why not
twitter and out about a Fresco Mike get swallowing down.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
The Phillies get out of that bases loaded, two out
jam in the bottom of the seventh, one run scores.
It's a two run game right now. Phillies lead at
five to three as they bat in the top of
the eighth, one on one out. We will keep you
updated on this throughout the rest of the night. Boy
really thought it could open up for the Diamondbacks. There
you walk a run in and then Philly gets out
(01:10):
of it. I'm telling you, they look like a team
of destiny. I've already understand they're going to the World Series.
They're going to win.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Well, it's not quite the route that and route that
you expected. We've got people in the Instagram world in
writing me to say, hey, you won't be able to
go get.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Your HOGI at wah wah. Now you talked about it disparagingly.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, but but look, but I but just I think,
just by my action, it's okay. I think I could
just do it all.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You think you just fake it?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Oh, maybe maybe grow a little fake fake ass mustache, aren't.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
You Jason Smith? No, no, I'm Mike Harmon. I'm the
other guy. I'm no, not me. I love, I love.
I would have picked Philadelphia to win. Yeah. Look, look
go Bears. I'm a big Bears fan. Go Bears. Look
I love. I like the guy they got coming in. Now,
not Fields, I love the guy they got coming in.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Well, to be fair, I mean we we both did
pick Philly to win. You just the way you phrased
it is damn it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's inevitable. So I just need to ride the wave.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
It's inevitable. I'm gonna just.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Say, you're just standing there as a bystander with your
popcorn and your pomp pom going okay, Thantos.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh yes, do it.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'll just went just snap your fingers. Bryce Harper with
the headband and the beard and the necklace and everything.
It's yeah, and the yelling at each other and the
yell I think that's the main thing he gets me,
is that they're always yelling at each other. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
they're always just yelling at each other. I'm like, okay, okay,
I just like.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
When guys stand around when they hit momentous, huge home
runs and Schwarber's home run and I know the stat
making the rounds. I know dis Seger's brought it up before,
the fact that Kyle Schwarber now has more home runs
in the postseason from the left side of the plate
than any hitter in history. Yeah, it's really one of
the more shocking turn of events.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And he's still any one hit one ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
HiT's already hit forty seven bombs. It don't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, look how two ves is what three home runs
away from the most home runs in postseason history.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Ever, Like either side, it's ridiculous. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I mean he's about to pass Manny Ramirez.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And when you talk about you know, clutch home runs
and late game home runs, he's rewriting the record books there.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I'll tell you we'll have more baseball coming up again.
The Diamondbacks get out of the top of the eighth,
so they'll be coming to bat down a couple of runs.
But you know, I wanted to before we get into
into the NFL, I want to say this. You know,
normally when a celebrity comes out with a biography or
an autobiography, you know, you get all the best stuff
before and so I really don't need to read it.
(03:32):
I really don't have I don't want to read about, oh,
here's where your life was growing up. Like if you're
telling me you're writing an autobiography and it's going to
start by the time you've made it, Okay, great, I'll
read it, but it's okay, here's like fourteen chapters of
when I was a kid and this happened, and this happened.
But I got a news for you, man, I might
buy this Britney Spears autobiography the moment it comes out
on to think, so, dude, every day is something insane.
(03:53):
It's her and Timberlake and their relationship. And then the
sex with Colin Farrell was like it was it was
like we were fighting each other.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Are you hoping that every comes becomes like an eight
page thing like out of a trashy novel you'd buy
at the checkout count?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That what you're looking forward with your Colin Pharaoh story.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I'm just like, it's every day is something like people
in Hollywood are scared about this book when it comes
out on Tuesday, and every day there's something new, like, oh,
here's a Justin Timberlake stuff, here's the Colin Farrell stuff.
And at this point I want to tell her her publishers,
hey don't need any more teasers. Everybody's gonna want this book.
Everybody's gonna buy you want people to buy it. Don't
make it where I don't need to go buy it
(04:33):
cause you told me all the good stories.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
You don't need it.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Everybody's scared, nobody knows what's going on. Every day is
something new. I'm like, I can't wait to buy this thing.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
To the timber Lake side of things. Oh, I don't
know that's.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
There could be like I mean, maybe done with Timberlake.
Now we're onto other things. Now we're on other things
in her life and everything, and I can't wait. I mean,
this is gonna be this. I mean, I mean it.
I'm gonna wake up and go I'm gonna buy it
right get on my kindle right away, and like boom
oh fourteen ninety nine. Yes, give me that, Cause do
you know me? I'm a big library guy. I love
supporting local libraries. I got all my books in the libraries.
But there's once in a while where I go, oh, no, no,
(05:06):
I got to buy this book. And I'm gonna go,
where's that game? Where can I buy? Midnight on Tuesday?
Boom downloaded to Mike Kimball. No, but you want, you
want that hardcover. So it's sitting at your house.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So when friends come over and they see it, there
the conversations begin.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I'm telling you, man, I mean just the fact that
so many people seem to be really nervous about this book.
I'm like, what is possibly going well?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
But I mean, you had a full decade.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I read the little excerpt about you know, the understanding
of the Free Britney movement, uh, and what that meantor
and how they the nurses were explaining what was going
on during this conservatorship, and you know all the lack
of freedom for lack of a better term of what
was going on there. But it's it's an interesting story,
(05:56):
there's no question about that. Just a question of how
deep and how many names like the Colin Farrell fighting
thing was that because you couldn't understand him.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So it was just the easiest way to.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I'm sorry with your accent and it says I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Just really thick. I'm having problems here.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Listen, I practice. I'm going to be in a movie
called in Bruges. Okay, great, so I gotta practice my accent. Okay,
what did you say to me? I said in bro Okay,
never mind? Never mind. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen,
Life the tire Rex dot Com Studios. Now looking ahead
at this weekend, we've already seen some big quarterback moves
and look, today was Today was a big one because
(06:32):
we saw that I don't know how many people are
going to actually tune in, but the Raiders and the
Bears let's get it on, huh. All right, So no,
justin Fields, we know this. And so now Vince Evans
is going to play quarterback for your bears, Mike.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
That would be nice, No, that'd be cool.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
A little throwback, since throwback jerseys are the things, right,
the Eagles are gonna wear their Kelly Greens. We saw
the cream schools last week, so why not get the
Vince Evans out there.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, he got Tyson Pagent is going to be quarterback
and for the Raiders. Now we know that Jimmy Garoppolo
is out. No, instead of going to Aid and O'Connell,
which would make sense, Brian Hoyer is going to start
for the Rule.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Well, and i'll tell you you know, as this was announced,
and obviously you and I watching O'Connell as we did
during his collegiate career, and then the little bit we
got to see a little bit earlier in this season,
you know, and the heroics of the preseason included, and
Sandwich did in between. There there's a lot of clamoring
for him long term, but short term. I don't think
(07:33):
you expected him to be sitting at three and three,
coming into a winnable game on the road, where all
of a sudden the roads and the avenues for you
open up a little bit. The schedule as we talked
about the other night the next couple of weeks. I mean,
they're winnable games. So all of a sudden you get
Brian Hoyer. While he's not a world beater, you're looking
(07:53):
for someone to just guide the ship. And maybe he's
a guy who's accurate enough to shut DeVante Adams up here.
I'm just throw the ball to you twenty seven times.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
See. But I hate that thinking because Aid and O'Connell
proved that when they went when they shoved him in there.
And well not that I don't like the fact that
this could ruin my Big Bowl prediction, like my one,
my big Bull prediction. I know Connell was gonna start
half the games of the year for the Raiders this year.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well but I mean it came back to we knew
there was gonna be probably half the year without Jimmy
Gez Candy, who's the guy. So you know, we we
took the bridge, but it wasn't a long walk. But
it wasn't We didn't have to avoid a bunch of trolls.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
No, that is true. There's a grumpy old troll that
lives under the bridge. No, but O'Connell played pretty well
for getting shoved in there and move the team. And
I mean, this is the time you give them that chance. Right,
you're sitting at three and three. You want it. You
need to be a little bit dynamic. I don't like,
we're gonna go in and we're gonna run Josh Jacobs,
you know, ninety five times in this game and try
(08:53):
to win.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't want that's bad way to go.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
But I mean, but don't you want to find out
about the guy because you know, you know you're not
bringing Jimmy back after this year, Right, you gotta find
out about this guy. And he's a good player, and
this is your three and three. You can go to him.
And it's not like he came in and and the
NFL was too much for him. I get that. If
you thought coming into this game, boy, if we put
O'Connell in, he's gonna turn the football over a lot.
(09:16):
We're not gonna get a lot of offense. Let's go
with let's go with Brian Hore. I don't get that.
I don't get why suddenly after a game in which
Aidan O'Connell played pretty well, Yes, through a bad pass
at the end, but this is what happens when you know,
you're a third string guy. You don't get reps outside
of that. He played really really well, So to not
go back to him when he moves the team and
it doesn't make any sense. And again not because he's
(09:39):
gonna blow my big bold prediction by the Raiders by
not starting him, but it should make sense to go
to a guy that could give you a little bit
of juice and excite the team, especially you know, Devonte
Adams needs something. I mean, he's something. He's a guy
that needs a football, and maybe O'Connor, because you know
Jimmy's not throwing it to him, maybe o'conne's the guy
to throw DeVonta Adams a football.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Well, that's the worst where you're you're trying to find
your way into a legitimate winning streak, and you have
the choice of all right, here's a guy who hasn't
quarterbacked really much at all. He's got the pedigree and
the linkage to the Tom Brady world, and so you
think he comes in and he's the steady veteran and
(10:19):
just get in there and win, right, just win.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Baby doesn't need to be pretty.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Whereas O'Connell gives you a little bit of uncertainty, could
wing it around, could be all over the place. Bears
giving up two hundred and sixty seven yards per game
through the air, one of the worst in the National
Football League. By way of contrast, they are a top
ten team against the run. But we all know how
those jo yos, you know, you kind of pull on those.
When you're so terrible against the pass, Why would you
(10:47):
ever run the football so and you can just pile
up points.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
While i'd like to see O'Connell, I understand going to
the veteran, I'll ask Frostburg. I mean, if he wants
to chime in on this, since he saw Connell up
close and personal, what he thought when he when he
saw him against Chargers.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I was just another Raiders quarterback. But he's better than
Brian Hoyer. But I do want to add to this.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Either Josh McDaniels doesn't know this stat I'm about to
give you guys, or he thinks Brian Hoyer is bleeping doe.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Okay, this one, let's go Brian Hoyer.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
In his last twelve starts, he's owen twelve with seven
touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Well, I mean the seven seven and eight isn't terrible?
Wait wait wait wait wait did you many points.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Per game they scored? Wait?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Wait wait now, hang on, I want to make sure
you got right. Did you say Brian Hoyer or Zach Wilson? Oh?
I said Brian Hoyer? Okay, all right, very, I want
to make what do we do at the theaterback for
the Jeff quarterback resume? You have the right stats? Right,
I'm sure you have the right stats because that's a
very Zach Wilson likes that right there. It's a real stat.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I can't even believe that this guy was win twelve
and then starting they I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
It's the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
It's the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Why do you think I have the Raiders on my
never again list? I want to pick them to win
this game, but I'm like, they're on never again, so
I can't pick that. So instead, I'm gonna do what
I'm doing all night tonight. I'm taking the under. I'm
gonna take the under in this game. It's gonna be
sixteen thirteen. Get me the under.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I know it's saying you don't want to bet the
Raiders Bears.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Give me the under.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
But they certainly, you know, when we look at the
AFC West as a whole, I mean, just going back
to the point, it's like, do you think that Hoyer
is steady enough against a bad Bears team. I don't
know what Bagin's going to do. I mean, we saw
a couple of nice plays. Throws to Scott I did
laser one into Dj Moore over the middle, and then
under duress kind of did a all right, I'm bracing
(12:39):
for the hit, let me just chuck this thing up
moon ball pop gun kind of thing that ended that
game last week. But full week, everybody's talking a good game.
He's he's fired up, saying all the right things, great confidence.
So I don't know it is the Raiders. I mean,
(13:00):
like when it comes out to it, but at three
and three, they're a pain in that. The Raiders are
one of those teams that are just a pain in
the neck right now because they're not good. It's like
watching the Saints as we did yesterday. You know they're
not good, but they're five hundred going into Week seven.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Exit out bout a Fresco exit, swollen home. So I
have to pick the Bears by default because the Raiders
are on. I never got one packed into that. I
gotta pick it. But but I'm real, real, I really
love the under. I really do love the under. I
really think the Unders.
Speaker 2 (13:30):

even a better wedding if you would stop to do
the hit with us from your reception.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
And then I thought about that. I thought about that
for a while. I wanted to be married for more
than three hours.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh all right, would bring bring Smith in to do
Jerry Jones impressions at the reception?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah, you're right, that wasn't Plus I might have been
drinking a little bit by them, just well, if you
us not not that I have not done the show occasionally,
Occasionally I might have been drunk at the time.

sandwich at least we had delivered to the wed to
the reception.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
For you that we kind of split that among all
the guests. That would have been great.
Speaker 2 (16:50):

Let me tell you, here's your sandwich from these knuckleheads
I talk on the radio.
Speaker 2 (16:55):

Speaker 4 (19:57):
All right? We walked out way we walked out, walked
up the aisle, so the Stanford.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yes, a little green bag?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yeah? And then we played the you know, the the
original version on the way out by Why am I forgetting?
Who did? All? Right? Now?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Free? Free?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Best? Yeah? Be'st a free Yes? Okay, there we go
the best it's the only are I shouldn't said that.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
All right, Jake Cole, I make you commissioner. How do
you fix scoring?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
How do I fix score?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
We need more touchdowns, j Cole. These we have a
point snooze fest will not stand.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta get a good quarterback like this
is inevitable because we're coming out of a great scoring
age with a lot of great quarterbacks. You lose Manning
those Breeze who lose all those guys, and then Rogers.
You lose Rogers at the beginning of the season after
five player. I have reminded you know, that's that's what's
(21:05):
going to happen. And look the league. It's just I
was taking a look at all the quarterbacks because I
was having a discussion with somebody about, you know, how
good is Dak Prescott, right, and he's realized, like he
might be the eighth or ninth best quarterback in the league,
which is kind of an indictment abound the league, right,
Like he's just a really average quarterback, but he might
(21:26):
be top ten because of the sort of this brain drain.
We've had a quarterback now, which you hope is that
this group of quarterbacks were coming in this year, or
the rookie class from this year, they will develop and
then the you know what it sounds like, at least
two really good ones, and then maybe Shagar Sanders, you know,
(21:48):
comes in next year along with some other guys. Right
like if Penix is really I don't think Pennix is
actually any good, but there's some other guys who are
in that class.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Those are four hundred yards a week. He's got to
have some kind of talent.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
He's got to be good.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I just I just don't. Look, I don't believe in
that release. It's it's funky and long, and I just
don't think it works in the NFL. And and I
also don't believe in college stats translating. Okay, I just
you know, sorry, I just don't buy yah.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Pack twelve stand for hater hater If you played in
the ACC, you would like him?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Did you see Wait a second? Melissa Isaacson posted you know,
it was either Molisa Isaacson or Melissa Jacobs, and I
always forget that. I always get those two mixed up.
But one of them posted a Halloween picture from the
Bay Area that's that had two skeletons dressed up in
cal and Stanford uniforms with a sign that said rest
(22:42):
in Peace PAC twelve in front of it. It was
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I was, yeah, Amy Trask. Amy Trask pointed that out
to me. I was like, that's classic. It was awesome. Anyways,
I get look, you just have to get their quarterbacks
you want to fix scoring. That's as simple as that.
And Derek Carr being yeah, you know, Derek Carr being
(23:10):
in the top half of the league of quarterbacks. It's
just a huge indictment that the Raiders making this decision that, oh,
Jimmy Garoppolo is going to improve this yeah in what
like the half the games that he plays because he
was injured half the time. Didn't you know that, you know,
Josh McDaniels, didn't you figure that one out? Yeah, Like,
that's the only way you fixed scoring. You got to
have better quarterbacks, or you make it easier for him
(23:32):
to throw. But at this point, you can't make it
any easier than it already is.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
But at the same at the same time, it's I
think it's understanding that, hey, why not when you're sitting
here saying, all right, let's go up crazy for Jimmy
Garoppolo or Derek Carr. Then I watched the Raiders say,
oh no, we're going to start Brian Hoyer on Sunday
instead of Aidan O'Connell. Why wouldn't you start Aidan O'Connell
on Sunday. The guy's pretty good. He was, he showed
He showed him is when you shoved him in there,
he didn't do poorly.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I'm like, you press, Josh McDonald, why you're in trusted
to the judgment, Josh McDaniels. Are you saying, are you
questioning the ability of just.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Smarten up the old mott up?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The only guy I might trust Josh McDaniel's over is
if he's coaching a game against Brandon Staley. That's the
only time, Daniels.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
That is just a classic of those two. Brandon Staley go,
I'm going to go from it far on fourth to one,
my own, my own eight yard line next time. Like,
it's just take points, man, you're at home. You're at
home and you're holding the Cowboys down. You don't need
(24:38):
to get every touch. Just take the points, take the
easy points, and gamble when you have to gamp God,
fran Staley is it's so annoying to me. And the
thing about it is he has that look on his
face like, oh, yeah, I got nailed. I got them,
I s got to nails. I know what I'm doing. Like,
(24:59):
never mind, he's charges are doomed. But I hate to
say I hate to say that for Frostburg because I
love Frostburg. But they're doomed.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Well, here's the I can break the charges down even easier.
All this fourth down stuff he keeps going for and
I'm like, you know what, getting it on fourth down
is kind of a skill. Just stop doing it. Just
stop going for it. Just don't just don't do it.
You're not good at it. You're not good at getting
fourth first downs on fourth down.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
And fifteen You're fifteen and fifteen in one score games
in three years, Like this is not really, you're not.
We could have anybody just flipping coins doing as well
as you're doing. You're supposed to be better than the
coin flip. Okay, you really are. You're supposed to be
(25:51):
better than the coin flip, but you're not. You are
the coin flip. That's all you are. You're coin flip daily.
That's what you're your nickname, coin flip.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
There you go, hey, we got to get that T
shirt made of him on a penny or something.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I want I want a little bit. I just made
that up off the top of my head. I want
to look. I want to slice that coin Flip Staley.
That's what his nickname is. I'd rather have the crazy
woman who was cheering for them to be coach.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
You as fired up, the.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Woman who thought you everybody thought was a plant, a
Goodell plant like I love that. The conspiracy theories of
Twitter are just so classic. But yes, find the woman
who was the Cadell supposedly the cadel plant who had
to come out the next day and actually deny it.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, you know, but you know that woman's going for
it on fourth down all the time. I mean you
think you think Brandon Staley not every fourth She wouldn't
even dress a punter.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
We're just going to go for it on fourth down.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Oh no, no. She has to be more sensible than
coin Flip, like she really does have to be.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
We're not even broke it down they flip.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
He's just going to be called coin Flip. How's coin
Flip doing this week?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
That's what we're doing this Sure lost your surname.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, but yeah, he's now he's now flipped. He's like
he's closely related to Flip Saunders. So anyways, thinking of this,
like what are the Bears going to do with the
one and two overall pick harmon, what's going to happen here?
I'm betting Alt and Bowers, Like that's what I'm thinking.
They're going to go offensive tackle insight end.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That would be the Bear sounds about right.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, yeah, they're going to go Caleb Williams and Lincoln
Riley that's what it's.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
No, No, don't go bringing that guy.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, you're still getting Lincoln Riley. You're so getting it.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I might auction off my fandom.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
He wants out of USC so bad because they're USC
is not even like that's the one that I keep hearing,
like the USC is not even paying the guys that
they promise to pay. That's the classic, like there are
no We're give you three hundred thousand, and then the
kids are like, where's the money? Oh, with in the mail?
With in the mail. That's an LA thing to do.
(28:08):
That is that is a total LA thing to do,
is make the promise like they're going to be the
ones who tipped the scales of n I L No. No,
we actually have to have contracts now, like we actually
have to draw this stuff out and you have to
put the money in like escrow or something like that.
That's what we got to do. That's going to be
the USC way and that's why. Yeah, Lincoln Riley's leaving,
(28:29):
there's almost no question of that. So yeah, he's going
to be the coaching Chicago. But Caleb Williams. They will
probably take Williams and May though.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
No, there he got competition.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, when the Cowboys took Aikman and then got Steve
wallsh it'll be the same thing, same thing, just a generation.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
The Guy Lombardo trade, remember with.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
The one.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
He's on titer at Jason Cole sixty two. That is,
at Jason Cole sixty two. With a change in eligibility status,
he is now newly married. Congratulations, buddy. We will talk
to you next week.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Thank you, gentlemen, I'll talk to you later.

there's a lot of pressure. But I'll tell you the
guy that's got the most pressure on him tomorrow. It's
not Caleb Williams. It's not the guy stealing the signs
from Michigan.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Well they threw him out, they put him on leave.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Now, Well it's not whatever new guy they got Itallian's gotta.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Go fight another career. Gee, I wonder what he could
fight himself. Some work in TJ.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Stallion can no longer roam free. He's out. We preacho fit.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
They call him what fire.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
The guy with the most pressure on him tomorrow, without
a doubt, the guy is Zach Wheeler. Because we just
watched the Diamondback come from behind in the game. Philadelphia
was looking to close out. They were winning this the
entire game. Philadelphia seemed to have it under control, and
then Craig Kimberl came into the game in the eighth
(30:10):
inning and everything changed.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Pre two pitch coming man, I'll fly ball deep right
center field.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
He has done it.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
This game is tied on a pitch hit on run
by Ala Thomas hop Kimbrol in the eighth five five.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Game Diamondbacks Radio Network on the call. It didn't end there,
Marino with a base hit to drive in the third
run of the inning. After Kimberl comes out of the
game and former Met Paul Sewald x x MET middle
reliever of course closes out, comes in and closes out
the ninth inning for the Diamondbacks, And now the NLCS
(30:50):
is tied at two games apiece. Look a couple of
big things now here, because this, this, you know, puts
a big dent in those Philadelphia fises. Hey, we're a
team of destiny plans because number one, Now, Kimberl was
your high leverage guy, right whether it was eighth or
ninth th ning, he was your high leverage guy. And
now I don't know that you can put him in
(31:11):
the in the city. Trust you can't. I mean, I
don't know if it's a if a game is a blot,
you need somebody to soak up some innings. But you
can't put him in the game again. And here's the
worst part is that you use seven relievers today, so
you need Zach. Zach Wheeler needs to have a Zach
Wheeler Cy Young type start tomorrow because the Phillies don't
have anybody they can bring in that are gonna be
(31:32):
fresh and right. And now, for the first time in
this series, the balance of power is shift and the
Diamondbacks are in the driver's seat because they have the
game at home, they have the fresher pitching staff, they
have the momentum of winning two close games like they
just did here. And the Phillies needs something absolutely immense
from Zach Wheeler tomorrow if they're gonna win, if they're
(31:53):
gonna win the series, or they're gonna go up three
to two going back home with two chances to win.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Absolutely KOs and you got your guys ce because you
had to bring him up. Uh he struck out the
side did give the double up to uh. Schwarber Metso
look at the Mets all, look at the Mets having
all these fingerprints are all over both NLCS and ALCS.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Hey, Verlander stunk today, doesn't matter. Paul Seawold was great today. Okay,
it worked.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Verlander had a pretty good start except for that one pitch.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah, but it counts though, well I know it, but
it's the old Wow, it was like watching a soccer
game or anything else.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
You played really well except for that eight seconds.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, yeah, but here's the.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
One that you tried to go high it outside and
you absolutely missed and he hammered it. And then he
stood there and you want to I mean, you did
the standing like a referee in basketball. You did a
ten count before he got halfway up there the line.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah you did. And look at Verlin's I like, Verlander
doesn't do that in the postseason.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
So it's all was completely Oh no, no, no, that's just it, right.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
His history well established for for Wheeler, it'll be curious.
He is a guy that's been pretty good to get
you deeper into games. Uh, you look at his last
five Stars. He's gone at least six innings in four
of the five, the other being a game against Pittsburgh
where he left after four. Gave up one earned in
those four innings, but he's worked into the seventh otherwise,
(33:15):
so you know, that's at least a positive sign. But
when it looked like it was an absolute walkover situation,
and we were channeling it and talking about it the
other night, going wow, it's just like a conga line
up there right now they're seeing beach balls, and just
like that, it turns what a crazy game of baseball right.
Two games today, you're seeing all the stats the old
(33:37):
Jason Stark gave you all those years ago. We always
see something new first and postseason history. Two teams rallied
from two runs down in the eighth or later to
win on the same day.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
And look and look the Mets fingerprints again because again
Zach Wheeler going tomorrow. Yeah, who knews that of all
the pitchers the Mets had right when they had all
those guys right, it was gonna be great. Who's the
guy that turns out to be the best, the guy
that let go the earliest, right, the one guy they said,
We'll keep everybody else as long as we can. We're
gonna keep Harvey, We're gonna keep de Gram, We're gonna
(34:08):
keep Stephen Mattz, We're gonna keep no. We got everybody,
but we'll let Zack Wheeler go because Zach will. No,
Zack Wheler's not to be the best and most dependable
guy of the bunch.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Well, more time to bathe than the antiseptic to get
the Mets off.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Him, I'll tell you, man, man, But hey, but wait
a minute, mate. You know Mets work tonight. Well, it
didn't work for her landa but worked for Paul Seawall.
It was kind of yin and yang.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
So the balance of the force exactly, Mason, just give
it three years. They'll bring Wheeler back, give him seven
hundred million dollars in, they'll suck.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Hey, Zach Wheeler's coming home. It's not gonna work.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
That's who says you can't go.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Then they'll trade him at the deadline, and then we'll
get Craig Kimbrel.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Why not and eat all the money.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Hey, that's future Hall of Famer, Craig Kimberl, who gave
up that big.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Hall of Famer, who Diamond Nax Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Well listen if it's a hall of very good. Yeah,
with Craig Kimberl in the Hall of Fame, why not
twitter and out about a Fresco Mike get swallowing down.
Coming up next, we look at the two biggest games
on the college football slate tomorrow. This is Fox Sports Radio.
