You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Guys per Charissa Thompson. Whatred angles are leading the Ravens
twenty seven to thirteen?
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Really?

(00:59):
to thirteen. Have to go on the fourth quarter. Joe
Burrow is out. We'll have more on this game coming
up in a minute. But a little bit more on
the CHRISA. Thompson thing, which is a story that's just
getting bigger and bigger and We talked about it last
hour and how awful this is for anyone in the media,
and just her brazenness about not caring that she made
(01:19):
up stories when she was a sideline reporter, the fact
that she told the story before but it didn't get
picked up, so she wanted to tell it again.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
CHRISA.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Thompson goes on a podcast today for Barstool Sports and
admits that when she was working sidelines in the NFL
sideline reporter, she would make up interactions with a coach
coming out of halftime.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
So I haven't been fired for saying it, but I'll
say it again. I would make up the report sometimes
because a the coach wouldn't come out at halftime or
it was too late, and I was like, I didn't
want to screw up the report. So I was like,
I'm just going to make this up because first of all,
no coach is going to get mad if I say, hey,
we need to stop hurting ourselves. We needed to be
better on third down, we need to stop turning the
ball quarterback. Yeah, exactly, and do a better job of
(02:03):
getting off the field. Like they're not going to correct
me on that. I'm like, it's fine. I'll make up
the report.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
It's fine, like that whole it's fine. I can make
it up. That's what pisses me off so much. But
to take a different angle, because there's so many angles
on this story, Why would she do it right? Why
would you make up reports when you didn't talk to
a coach? And I guarantee you when you're in a
position like that of hey, you're a sideline reporter, if
(02:29):
it comes down, because lots of times it's hard right
because the coach is coming out. Maybe they don't get
down to you right at halftime, Maybe the coach doesn't
feel like talking.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Maybe the coach for whatever reason, maybe.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Your cameraman is shooting something somewhere out, whatever it is,
there's times when you don't get the other coach. And
if it happens too many times, how long until the
production staff, you're big producer, executive producers go why is
she down there?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
If she can't get the coach, if we can't, if we.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Don't have we don't why is she down on the
sideline if we can't get at the coach? And I'm
part of it is probably, Hey, I want to justify
and I'm afraid for my job, because if I can't
get the coach after a while, first they're gonna say,
we're gonna put somebody down there who can. We're gonna
put somebody else down there who's gonna wait for the
coach and talk them on the silent because why can't
you get the coach?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And I get it.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I get the coaches don't do it, so why would
she do it? There's your reason, because hey, I can't.
I can't have go through here and worry about they
want to replace me or I'm not doing my job right,
or I'm gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So I'm just gonna make it up.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I'm just gonna make up that I talked to a
coach that I that he told me what it is now. Obviously,
not to play both sides of it here for a second.
Obviously some of the coaches didn't care because we would
have known by now if she's done this a bunch
of times, and you know, a coach had to finish
a game. Maybe coaches don't know because really you don't
(03:48):
get anything from the coach at half time anyway. I mean,
has anybody asked the coach, hey, did you really tell
CHRISA Thompson the sideline that we needed to get at
the quarterback more in the second half.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
No, I didn't even talk to her. Huh. Now, so
that's the thing. Are innocuous?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, potentially this could be something that coaches have known
about but they don't care, or it could be something
that has just never come up. Because when do you
really dive into what a coach said at halftime to
somebody after a game? Does anybody ever say, coach, at halftime,
you said in the second half Keaton Mitchell was going
to get the football more and he didn't.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, right last week saying that right?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
If I don't say anything and she says something very benign,
is it going to get back to the coach? And
no one's gonna say at the end at the end
of the game and go, hey, so people tell me
on the broadcast at halftime, you told Carissa Thompson that
we have to be able to run the ball more
in the second half.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
What was that all about? Like, like, that's not something
that's gonna do, but that's just it.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Nobody's gonna care like, And I think that was her
point to this, of you know, it's innocuous, kind of
Evergreen captain obvious things, right. We turned the ball over
three times. We got to take care of the football.
We got to cut down on penalties. We had eight
for seventy yards in the first half. I mean things
that you know, Joe Joe six pack and anybody you
(05:08):
know that knows anything about the sport, like they're there,
captain obvious kind of statements, right, So you can to
a degree get away with it. It doesn't make it
right that you fabricate it. No, but that's not where
a coach is going to get get out of sorts.
So I never talked to her.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Nose where's the wing for him?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But she goes on there and says, hey, I talked
to Robert solid halftime. He said Aaron Rodgers was going
to play quarterback in the second half. Wait what, Oh yeah, yeah,
I mean that you're not going to say that. She's
gonna say generic stuff to make it just say, hey,
I did my job right.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It's not gonna be Hey.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
I was really upset why she you know, like the
coach said, he was really upset with that, you know,
pass interference call. Thought it was bogus, you know, something
where you get deep in the weeds on a plane.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
You're not doing it.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
But again, I like to know the production folks on
the field and those in the truck how they feel
about this statement getting its run today. People that she
worked with now again it's years since she's been on
the sideline. Because that's the other thing. You've got it.
You've got some distance, so I don't have to care. Hey, good,
I got final jobs. I've got my other house decorated.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I'm a star.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I don't got a bunch of commercials. They have me hawking, uh,
you know, vegimatic kind of things. At halftime of Amazon, Hi,
I made up stuff on the way to the top.
I made up stuff because I didn't care. I made
up stuff. And that that's it. You can't make stuff up.
I don't care where you come down. You can't make stuff.
You can't be a member of the media and make
stuff up. If you make stuff up, we're gonna find out.
(06:36):
It's the worst thing you can do. And yes, do
we have people that do that. Now, yeah, we've seen
we've seen it all.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Over the place. But you get found out.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
This is something that wait a minute, you can't just
go and admit and then admit you made it up
and then act like it's not that big a deal
because I'm a star.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Now I don't do this anymore. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Hey, good luck all you other sideline reporters trying to
make your way. Yeah, I know, I could have made
it easier for you and really opened some doors, but
instead I'm make g more difficult for you to do
your job.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Now, good luck, good luck with that.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Yeah, but it opens up to a lot of other criticism.
And certainly you saw it in your social media. And
you've got current sideline reporters, those that you know hustled,
you know before Carissa.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Was in the role.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Uh, and on on down the line. Now you add
elements of you know, race and people citing privilege and
all the like, it starts to really wrap a whole
lot of other issues in terms of promotion. Uh and
whatever fairness. I guess is the word a lot we're
(07:37):
using in terms of promotion and how you obtain information,
disseminate information and who gets the chances to move up
the ladder and how right? Wait, I could have fabricated
stuff and I would have been able to bounce up
the ladder. So now you got a lot of other
producers fielding questions today.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Ed you know she was doing this? Did you know
she was going this? Did you know? How do you feel?
Did you know? What is your statement on this? So
you know, mister producer man.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I feel like I'm watching the last season of the
Wire where the guy gets famous, sorry a spoiler, guy
gets famous like win's a pulletzer because he's just made
up stories because he couldn't talk to anybody who just
made up stories all the way And I hated that
that plot line that this guy goes all the way
up and he wins and they protected him at the
paper because they were winning awards, and the one guy
who knew he was doing it, they shouted him out
(08:25):
and then they shut him down. And I felt it
was such a great storyline. But I feel like it's
the last season of the Wire where I'm watching the
guys I'm making stuff up and getting all the way
to the top on it.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
But that's it, right, It's now what what falls out
from this?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Right?
Speaker 7 (08:39):
The first thing is other than everybody taking to Twitter
to say, you know how abhorrent and awful it is
and how dare you be smirch my name on all
of those things. That's what we've gotten all day.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, I'll tell you. I'll tell you two things. First thing,
it's gonna be which way does the wind blow? And
then to see just how upset? How bad does this get?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
How bad does this get?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Because she's not said anything today, She has not put
out any kind of apology or statement or anything else.
And I don't think she's going to be is the
way she talked about it. I don't need to worry
about this now.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Sorry, on the sidelines, get ready to go to do
the halftime.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But could it get to a point where if NFL
teams get mad or hey, wait a minute, this happened?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Is that then she's got to say something. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
The other thing is gonna be there's never gonna be
a report from the sideline again, unless involving something with
a coach, unless it's on camera, like, you're not gonna
find out, Hey, what did Bill Belichick say coming out
a second? Well, he told me coming out of the
tunnel that they got to do this this and that
no one's gonna believe they can't do that anymore. So
it's gonna be we just blow off the report. If
(09:46):
you can't get them on camera. That's that's the first
thing you're gonna see, cause can't believe there's gonna be
anybody who's gonna put somebody on because now think about it,
if you're that person, if you're Tracy Wolfson, if you're
somebody else, and they go down to you before the
second when the second half starts and they go, hey,
you watched the first half. What did Robert Sala have
to say after the first half of Jets Bills? Well,
I talked to Robert Sala coming out of the tunnel
(10:07):
and he told me we have to run.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
The football more. Zach is playing great. We love Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Whatever it is, people are gonna walk away from that
watching that, and they're gonna laugh. I go, she's probably
making that up, even at just as a joke or
a punchline. But no one's gonna take that serious. So now,
people like Tracy Wolfs or whoever else is on the sideline,
Pam Oliver, I'm gonna sit here and go Now, every
time I come on TV and I say something that
happened on the sideline, people are gonna wonder if I'm
telling the truth or not.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
That that's a big thing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So now unless people are on camera for something like that,
you're not gonna have that and and that. Now you're
taking away something that people do for a living. You're
taking away the the legitimacy of the media, and you're
making and you're giving people oxygen to say, I don't
think what you're telling me is the truth. How do
I know what you're telling me is true? How do
I know anymore?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
When?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
When when you're job, what's a factual job? To report
on events and tell you what happened. It's different than
us being in the studio here and saying, hey, I
think Jets got to get rid of Robert Sala, which
I said the other night. I didn't say Jet's got
to get rid of Robert Sala. And I know a
lot of people at one Jets Drive think the same
way I do. Wait, you talked about well, I talk
to people, you know what? Who Wait?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Whit?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
WHOA?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
That's that's different. Now I don't talk why say this
is what the Jets.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Need to do.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
I would assume that's right, though I talk to people. No, no, no, no,
not that you talk to people, but just the Jets
want to fire Robert Sala. There's enough people in the
building that probably are okay with Robert Salad and fired.
So what you're saying while the I talked to people
part is wrong. You know your conclusion is probably right.
But yeah, for sideline reports, I mean, the big thing
(11:38):
for me has always just been about injury reports. And
then maybe if you get a little bit of a
glimpse of hot hand workload, maybe they give you all something.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
But normally that's a ration. And now if you get
injury stuff, you could you trust well, I don't trust
anything anyway.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
And looking it's all been bs for years anywhere.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Guys, and this just in from Charissa Thompson, have just
fired Robert Salah.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Wow, oh man, who's a new head coach? Rex Ryan's back?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Oh okay, all right, because I heard either Rex Ryan
or Jeff Fisher because the Jets field they can get
to seven and nine.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Well, per Charissa Thompson, Jeff Fisher is never going seven
and nine again.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
But if it's Rex Ryan, it puts him on very
good footing to touch him again. I see what you
did there, per Charissa Thompson. Guys, he likes feet. Wait,
hang on, really beautiful feet.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Hang on, tight shirt. How did you have that so fast?
I mean, we haven't talked about Rex Ryan and the
foot thing in a lot. How did you have that
so fast? It's always about the antica Pati Jason.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I think you're lying to me. What if I were
to tell you that it was actually his phone ringing
per Chrissa Thompson Jason.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
She let me know that that would be a prominent
figure in this segment, so I had him available.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Oh all right, very okay, so you knew already, Yeah, okay,
all right, good, she does a good job.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Meanwhile, so look this is Look, we're gonna spend a
lot more time on the Chris of Thompson thing. But look,
I'll tell you that was exactly why she did it,
why she made it up, and why it's so bad
what she did. And I hope at some point she
understands what she did was really bad. But it doesn't
look like it. Oh, the ends justified the means. Look
at the career and look at the path. And once
upon a time she was stuck on fantasy Island with me.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You were on fantasy Island.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Well that's what we called the bit with mister Orc
and I mean, look how short I am. I might
as well have been tattoos. Smiles everyone. Now, I guaranteed
my story ends personally better than Irvan Villages. Woh okay,
you're the only one that understands and knows what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And a couple of you out there. I love you all, America.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
The gust busses in the end zone again for the Ravens,
his second touchdown run of the night, make it thirty
four to thirteen. The Ravens lead the Bengals, but the
drama with this game is just getting started because did
the Bengals hide the Joe Burrow injury? Burrow has not
been in this game since early in the first quarter.
Couldn't grip the ball and throw it. He had a
(14:06):
brace on his hand a day ago, video that disappeared,
and now back with a vengeance.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Keep it right here.

Jamar Chase catches a short touchdown pass, helping his Fantasy
Yeah team to.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Catches twelve yards in the touchdown. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
So now he's having an okay night for well, he
didn't have z yeah, which is for a while. I
mean they put up the graphic he had run eight
routes with zero targets. Yeah, so the fact that they
got into the end zone. The other thing is, I mean,
don't bury the lead. We have crushed the over in
this game. When the Gus Boss scored and Tucker put
up that extra point, that was it. We hit the over.
(16:19):
I mean you should have seen, you know, balloons and celebrates.
They should have flashed, hey, twenty percent off something on
Amazon right now because.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
We hit the over. This looks like Washington USC all
of a sudden, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
A minute left to go in the game. The Ravens
are gonna be running out the clock. They lead at
thirty four to twenty, maybe one or two more snaps,
and that's gonna be it. Ravens are gonna go to
eight and three in the Bengals are gonna fall to
five and five. And the big question, of course, is
gonna be surrounding Joe Burrow joining us now in the
hotline to break it all down Nobody better NFL On
(16:52):
Fox Insider Extraordinaire. We got more in the Unbreakable podcast
coming up in a couple of minutes. It is Jay Glazer, Jay,
what's happening?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Buddy? Run on boys? How are we doing what we're.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Doing better than the Bengals?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Certainly they had a rough and tumble Thursday night.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, listens, Stub Borrows one of those guys that he's
a he's a culture changer. When you lose him, you know,
I know they try to go next man up as
really not the next man up for Joe Burrow. He is.
He's one of the rare few in the league that
you really can't overcome losing him. I mean, look, Jack
Keller is a phenomenal coach. The coaches. I love the
coaching staff over there, Lu and Aramo and Brian Callahan
(17:30):
great great staff. But Joe Burrow changes changed the culture
in LSU change the culture here in Cincinnati. Man, losing
a guy like that, now, listen, I don't know what
the injury is. There was actually some when I first
saw it. Then you know, set of risks and what
as you go. Know. I hate Twitter doctors. I hate him.
(17:51):
People use doctors for NFL team and now they're you know,
called themselves whatever and they give you what their analysis is.
We're out looking at X ray and them. I hate it.
I despised it. It's so not fair to these guys.
But I'm not going to pontificate on what I think
it is. The Only thing I can tell you is
if he's out for an extended third time, he already
saw how much they struggled with that calf injury that
(18:12):
he had. What he wasn't one hundred percent. If he's out,
he's one of the rare few guys that's hard for
next stan up, Well, what do you make of Jay?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It's not it's not about like what we're gonna see
from Joe Burrow. But we had the video a day
ago of him getting off the bus and he had
a big brace of some kind on his throwing hand.
That video disappeared off the internet, and every time you
saw him everything was fine, well.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Because the whole team put it out. So yeah, you
know what, right, But here's the bad guys. Here's where
people don't realize. Like I had the news about jail
and hurt, so it's knee that you know it was
actually a bone bruise and he got it dinged at
the same exact spot on that it was a Monday night,
came right, And but if you don't miss any practice
on him, they don't have to list it. So there's
(18:56):
this is a game of violence. God's given hurt everyone
dinged every bud. But if you don't miss the snap
practice to get of it, you don't have to list it.
So if Joe didn't miss any content of it, they
don't have to list it. But I don't know if
anything Zach Fellers, Oh, let's try and hide this. You
can't hide something when a guy's walking around with a wrist.
Now again, you might say, okay, to risk the thing up.
(19:18):
He had to miss any practice time, let's protect it
in his everyday life and put little brakes on it.
Because it's like when you're walking around, right, you're swinging
your arms round, you're messing with your friends. It's easy
to just knock into something and try and protect it.
But if you don't miss any snaps in practice, you
don't have to listen.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
It was funny Jake because his walk into the stadium today,
he was free swinging that hand.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Everything's good, exactly.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
What Hey, I'm like a bowl in the China shop.
I broke and someoney damn watches like you kidd me,
just from like walking around doing stuff, So I understand
protecting it.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Jake Lazer with us The Jason Smithshow with Mike Carbon
Live from the tirerack dot Com Studios. All Right, Jay,
you know looking into this weekend, now we have big games.
There's big games this weekend and then there is Eagles
Chiefs which like the entire world stops for that. Uh
going into you know, you know, Jason Kelcey already said
I don't buy into revenge games and all of this.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I mean, we're.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Looking at these two teams, you know, Super Bowl a
year ago. The Eagles look like they're the best in
the NFC. The Chiefs are right up there. Again, how
big is this game really? When you look at it
and were it's a midseason game here how big is
this really?
Speaker 5 (20:27):
All Right? Think it's huge. I think it's huge for
I think it's huge for confidence in case they see
each other again in Super Bowl. But these big Absolutely,
it's how would you minimize it? Absolutely, it's a big
confidence booster. It's also it's a great marker for the
Eagles who have two new coordinators. You judge and see
(20:51):
how they're doing. It's great for the for the Chiefs, Okay,
we got some new personnel to new tackle or serious stuff.
To see what their marker is against, you know, the
best team in the NFC. So I think it's a
great marker, phenomenal marker.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
So Jay.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
One of the big stories coming out of the week
the dismissal of Ken Dorsey, forever known for throwing things
in the booth, Josh Allen turnovers and the Bills offense
still one of the top ten from a scoring per game,
but the consistency not there, And what if you gleaned
from what's going on there in Buffalo with Sean McDermott
and company.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
I can't figure it out, man, I can't figure it out.
It's something where Josh Allen is freely talented and man,
it's I just I think we've talked about all year Loan. Actually,
I can't figure it out. They get too much talent
and not play well, not be cohesive. So I don't
(21:47):
got the answer for everything, and I certainly don't have
the answer there. And they figure, Okay, well things aren't quicker,
we're going to shake something up. I mean, they're certainly
not clicking the offense. So if you want to shake
something up, okay it now. Jay. On the other side,
they got got I kind of have an answer for everything, right, right?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, I know you're a wizard. No, you always do, Jay.
You never say you don't have an answer.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
I don't answer this. It's all year long. I'm like, man,
I can't figure this out. Why are they so inconsistent
and not on the same page. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
All right, So if you have an answer everything, and
answer me this. Did Aaron Rodgers get his Achilles built
in a lab at unbreakable because the now is coming
back in the middle of December?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Supposedly?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Oh? Because if he did, I would have charged the
hell out him.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We never hear from Jay again. He'd be on an eyelid.
He would retire with that.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I want to slow down on this about mid December.
That's like two weeks, right, So you know, there's one
thing about going out there and throwner's another thing about
getting yourself out of harm's way. He's still gonna need
to build this up where you can give himself out of
harm's way. That's the big thing. Like, you can't just
plus man now, you need wretch now. You need to
(22:57):
get your timing back now. You like, it's almost like
he has to go through another camp a little bit.
But I think he needs to spose roll on the
time he looks. If he does come back that fast, great.
You know what they did though with the Achilles, it's
hard to re rupture from what I understand with this
tightrope surger they did. They basically kind of drill or
(23:20):
screw the Achilles all the way into the heel. So
it's really hard to re rupture. But I think for
him it's you know, it's getting the mobility backs. But
here's the thing, Aaron's not just a dropbacks answer. Aaron's
greatness is man him dropping back. He makes the huddle
break down, he rolls out and a second play happens.
(23:41):
So he's got to be effective doing that, and I
don't know what that really is. I know it's not
great from Maren, mate, listen, I will say this. I
see what Aaron's done. I don't know what he can't do.
So I'm not willing to say no to anything. I'm
not a doctor. But if there's one guy who could,
you know, show you something that's never been done before,
(24:01):
probably him. But the only thing I'll cost you is
man make sure that it's so strong where you can
get yourself out of harm's way. Because the problem is
Jets their biggest problems. And you're gonna think I'm crazy
for saying it's not Zach Wilson, it's the offensive line.
Offensive lines are the biggest problem. It doesn't matter who
they put back there. At least Zach Wilson can get
(24:23):
himself out of trouble, but and Trevor Simeon and Tim
Boyle can't. Hey still back there. I know people go, oh,
you know, make the move, make the move. I think
the reason they're not to the least Acket got some wheels,
can get himself out of trouble. But the offensive line
is really bad. They're so baged up there. There was
a struggle going into the season, and then they got
(24:44):
so many injuries, so Aaron's gonna be running for his
life a lot. So he's got to make sure that
Achilles is in a place where he can get himself
out of harm's way. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
I was going to just make the joke at my
friend Jason's expense here and just saying the biggest problem
is the logo on this out.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Of the helmet Jay.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
But the let's let's go to Cleveland Deshaun Watson, you know,
one hit away from total annihilation of his shoulder, and
all the reports coming out of there six and three
the defense holding up. Uh, and now we think wistfully
of what might be if Josh Dobbs were still a
quarterback in Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Yeah no, oh my god, I mean yeah, I kind
of don't. Yeah, that's it. Don't really get why they
they let him walk or either one of those teams
let him walk. Really, Josh Dobbs clearly has a little
special thing about it, kind of almost like Gino Smith,
right man. And you love to see him from man.
He's a great guy, right just everybody loves him. And
(25:45):
you know, the big thing to him is he's got
real but his armor's not great. Boy's arms is a
pretty damn good. His accuracy, his and his throwers have
been He's just improved and again Gino Smith and he
just got better and better and worked in it, got
better and better and better, and now they're in the
Seahawks ord's two weeks, you're in first place. So yeah,
(26:07):
without Josh donz oh Man, that's uh. I'm sure they
wish they had him back, but I'm probably sure they
also wish they didn't give de Shaun Watson a fully
guaranteed contract for all these years.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Jake Glazer with us here, the Jason Spitzer with Mike
Harmon in a very special.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Week by the way, by the way, by the way,
by the way, this is what happens when an owner
comes in and makes decisions like this. Yeah, right, owner
did this with Johnny Manzel, who wasn't me on the board. Hey,
let's go get Johnny. Hey, let's jump in here and
get to Shaun Watson for a fully guaranteed contract. Like man,
just let your people do their business.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
That's how I run my fantasy team. Jay and he
runs an NFL team that run.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
People who worked at twenty four to seven do their business.
I've had this talk with a lot of owners. Some
of them gotten mad, some of them listen. But it's true.
Like I've said, of these owners, hey, would you let
bet coach of the league where you're let like Toddlin
and Shall Mixer Hey' calls I an't run your business, No, Jude,
it's totally different. Okay, well, then why do you you
can make a second round pick? Because it's totally there's
(27:08):
different too. And I was with him. I'm not going
to give you this story, but I cocktails. I was
at Lindsay Vaughan and I looked at some cocktails and
I started getting to a particular order and She's like, okay, Jay,
time to go. I'm like, God, Lindsey, he needs to
hear this. I'm like, why do you think you can
(27:30):
make your second round pick one? You don't do the work.
You're not working, you know, three sixty five, twenty four
seven on this? Why do you make the pick instead
of what you guys are doing. You're where you're good
as you can hire good people to run these billion
dollar companies. Let them do it, not you, and when
you do it, you'll always be in trouble. And the
guys who did it, like Dad Snider, are always in trouble.
(27:52):
It doesn't change, and it's not changing for Jimmy Haslam.
And you know, you look at the owner of the Panthers,
David Temper. He does this same thing. Man, Let your
people do their business.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's always great, Jay, always great with you. But I
want you to talk about something else that's great. Last
week we talked about your Unbreakable podcast, Part one of
the incredible rescue of Shoshanna Johnson doing it for a
Veterans Day. This week is part two of the podcast. Right,
it's how they got out? Is that what the what
Part two of it is?
Speaker 5 (28:22):
It's just incredible And again for people who don't know
the story, Dona Johnson the first ever African American female
pow in our military history. She's had armies that her
and she was caught by Saddam's crew of guards for
twenty two days and paraded around from town to towns,
just like we saw recently what happened with Hamas going
(28:43):
and with the is you know people they put to
the music festival and they paraded her around and they
shot her ankles out, and they beat her and they
spit at her. And they did all these things and
she's like, man, my life is over. And she held
tapped it for twenty two days and I think taking
eight cities and her brothers did not forget about her,
and her marine came and rescued her. And the actual
(29:06):
marine who kicked the door it out Kearnie Russell, who
is a eighteen years old tom only third month in
the military, first story ever kicked in. It's the two
of them together for the first time ever publicly or united.
They've never told the story together publicly on a national
stage like this. And you know, the coolest messages I've
(29:26):
gotten is from Kearnie that his wife and family never
heard the story. He'ven talk about it, and now I've
heard it. They understand the hero that lives in their home.
And that's the most amazing thing I can ever hear.
And you know, this weekend we did a little thing
on the NFL and Fox and we'll continue it. And Sheshata,
who has been through so much, she was proud of it.
(29:48):
Kearnie was proud of it. All I wanted to do
is give these people who really really deserve the love,
to get them some love. The folks you want to
hear the most unbelievable story in your life into this.
The crazy part was, is I have mine together? Shawnas like,
I hear the boom, boom, boom, and Kearnie says, that
(30:09):
was me trying to kick the door in. And it's
not like it is in TV in the movie where
boom to kick your door and it goes in. It
took me three shot tries, so every time I missed,
I thought they were going to kill her. You want
to talk about stress and pressure, but she said to that,
you know, I posted this thing today. We said. She said,
they kicked the door, the damn door down for me.
(30:31):
They kicked the damn door down for me. And the
two of them just talked about like man Kearney, you know,
he was engaged time. Now he's married, he'd been a
little to hear about it. Shanna has kids, and he said,
because they saved me, I was able to meet my niece,
(30:53):
which I wouldn't have been able to. And since the
most incredible story of teammates and resiliency and honestly, every
single person in the military who's listened to this, do
you all have a hero inside you? This is who
you are.

fdic well. Coming off of Thursday Night Football, two big
time injuries to tell you about. It is a season
ending injury for Mark Andrews. This per John Harbaugh, Raven's
head coach, moments ago in his postgame Andrews got hit
(32:57):
earlier in the game. It was Logan Wilson. Logan Wilson
who knocked him out of the game. Knocked Lamar Jackson
out of the game.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
For me, he had to go to the tennis.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Yeah, a couple of big hits and I think he
had to hit on Odell Beckham that knocked him.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Out of the game. Trifecta.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
So it looks like it looks like, you know, from
the game tonight. According to John Harbaugh, done for the season.
Mark Andrews, who was one of the top three or
four tight ends in the NFL. Isaiah like and TJ.
Isaiah likely to step in for him. But this is
a big deal. It's it's the top receiver. It's not
that offense where he can say the next guy up
(33:33):
is going to be great. Mark Andrews doesn't get the
attention Travis Kelsey does. He's every bit is important to
this offense because the drop off from him. It's this
is the guy Lamar likes to go to man. This
is where this same thing. Mahomes likes Kelsey and you
like Mark Andrews. Some teams, yes, you can take a
tight end out put a tight end in. He gets
a certain part of the game plan, but not in Baltimore.
(33:54):
This is a really, really big deal.
Speaker 7 (33:56):
Well, he's been their number one receiver and even still
is right. He had a good scam from Odell Beckham
Junior before he left with the injury. Was over one
hundred yards on the night, and certainly Jay Flowers has
had his moment, but that's more schematics and working to
get him the ball With Mark Andrews. You could do
a little bit of NBA like post up with him.
(34:16):
He's a guy that can go and fight in one
on one matchups to get the ball. And it is
certainly in the red zone. That's a huge loss. That
is not I mean, is Isaiah likely popped up on
the radar last year when Andrews was injured and had
some impact, But the drop off is absolutely momentous.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I mean, it's absolutely huge.
Speaker 7 (34:37):
So for Lamar Jackson in the offense, they navigate a
win tonight. Obviously the injury to Joe Burrow on the
other side certainly helps to some degree to get over
the top. But reliance on the run game and the
Gus Buss getting moving that they're gonna need that a
lot going forward. They're gonna have to stand on the
old Ravens way of doing business. I think we'll see
(34:59):
a shift in there in play calling going forward.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Meanwhile, for Joe Burrow, according to head coach Zach Taylor,
it is a sprained wrist. There's no timetable, there's no
he's coming back here. It is a sprained risk for Burrow.
Burrow left the game very early. Second pass of the game.
You could tell he had trouble gripping a football. He
tried to throw one on the sideline. He couldn't do it.
You saw him get mad. He missed the rest of
the loss to the Ravens. Sprained wrist. If you're thinking
(35:26):
about what the worst case scenario is for Joe Burrow,
this is probably an okay, one sprain risk, may be
a week or two.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
It's a shame.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
We saw him getting back to being the player he
was and the Bengals were getting there swerve back a
little bit, but now he's dinged up again. It's just
been that kind of season for Burrow. First to calf,
now the risk, but sprained wrist. Okay, maybe with ten days,
maybe he comes back in plays. Maybe it's not that
long for him.
Speaker 7 (35:49):
Yeah, maybe he's certainly not gonna be able to play
his way through it like he did. Remarkably, the calf
entry still the most inexplicable between that and your guy
saying I'm coming back just a couple of months later. Uh,
some of the more incredulous things. But yeah, the Burrow
video on the sideline was just you know, it's one
of those you cringe.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Yeah, he tried.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
It's like me trying to throw the ball when we
were at the Super Bowl and my arm just swamped
right shoulder just said no, I'm not doing that. Yeah,
and down a way. But but certainly a huge injury.
We know there's gonna be some examination of where he was.
And again Jay Guizer laying it out, didn't miss any
practice time, but certainly affected coming into this game because
(36:34):
even the first couple of pass.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Attempts we were woeful.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (36:38):
So he leaves the game and and now we see
what you can do with the offense.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
They finally did get Jamar Chase involved down the stretch though.
That was good.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
So we'll have more on this game because now the
big question is where the Bengals hiding Joe Burrow's injury.
Keep it right here, that's next, Jason and Mike. This
is Fox Sports Radio.
