(00:45):
tyrack dot com. The way tire buying should be. The
Bears win. They beat the Vikings twelve ten. Yeah, a
game that if you bet at any time touchdown in
that game, you sweated that crap out until Tjhawking and
finally scored midway through the fourth corner. Suddenly there was
a parting of the red sea, very much like DJ
(01:07):
Moore catching the ball on that big play that took
it inside the Vikings ten inexplicable.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah right, you've got from both sides. Bears have done
a good job containing Hockinson all night. Suddenly he's running
free and finds his space over the middle to catch
the touchdown and then to seal things and set up
the Santos field goal. Flores, who's blitzing the hell out
of Justin Fields all night. Suddenly he's got a clean
(01:33):
pocket and stands there like a statue delivering a beautiful
ball down the field. Seventeen pass attempts out of the
thirty seven from Justin Fields at or behind the line
of scrimmage.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I'm sorry, you meant to say Tim Boyle. Sorry you
met to say Tim Boyle. There you said justin field.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well that's assuming he got the ball off, say Timbole. Look,
same guy, this guy. This game was awful.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It's stunk. This game was absolutely terrible, and it was
a game that we normally see on Thursday nights. This
would be this would have been a divisional matchup on
a Thursday night. You know the happiest guy in the
world right now, al Michaels. He is having a champagne toast,
going boy, Glad I didn't have that game on Thursday.
All right, get Kirk and then get him on the speaker. Kirk,
are you watching this crap? Hey, dodge the bullet, didn't
(02:19):
we Kirk? All right, you're ready for Thursday night? Yeah,
we got Cowboys. Let's go. Let's go get him. Man
went great.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Gee.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, Look, this game was absolutely awful. And you know,
we'll get into Belichick in a second. But Josh Dobbs,
now as well as he has played tonight, was a stinker.
But he did put Look you say for the stinker
that Josh Dobbs had, he did put the Vikings in
position a game. They were up ten nine and all
of a sudden, the Vikings defense was giving a big
(02:47):
long plays to justin fields and he gives it up.
He now has the most turnovers in the NFL this season.
He's got seventeen turnovers, now more than Josh Allen, who
you thought was running away with that a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So you've got a couple of guys that aren't far behind.
Two is not far behind.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
There's a couple of guys that are standing right there.
This is Look, let's talk about let's talk about Josh
Dobbs just for a couple of seconds here. This was
as bad a game as this was. This was not
a bad And I'm gonna say something nice here because
I feel like Peyton Manning. I'm trying to be a
good team Brooks Classic. No, it's midnight, Sinrell, I'm gonna
(03:27):
say something nice. This wasn't a game because both of
these teams were terrible, although you can easily say that,
but I'm gonna be nice. The under hits again, let's
go both of You could see this coming because both
of these teams defenses have been playing at a very
high level the last few weeks, right, I mean we
(03:47):
knew that coming into this game. Hey, Vikings defense has
been fantastic. Bears defense has been fanta pastic. Done week
they did some good things, so you could tell the
Vikings trying to figure things out. Still, No, Justin Jefferson
not knowing how the running game was gonna go. Was
Alexander Madison gonna be one fumble away from being benched?
Justin Field's still trying to feel his way back in
(04:09):
and the Vikings defense playing really well at home. You
knew it was gonna be a tough game now, didn't
thing it'd be this tough it was gonna be Wow,
this is terrible. But this is not a case the
other guy watched the Jets play each other or the
Jets scrimmage Iowa. This was watching two teams and two
really good defenses have their way with the other teams.
You saw a lot of big hits. You saw a
lot of opportunistic defensive plays. You saw turnovers that were
(04:32):
all forced by the defense. These are not plays where
where a guy was just running the football and just
fell out of his hand. No, you had four deflected
passes because guys got hit and the Bears were able
to come up with the football. And the Vikings knocked
the ball out of Justin Field's hands when he was
trying to run for first downs a couple of times.
I mean, these were defenses playing at a high level.
So yeah, I know it's gonna be easy to jump
(04:52):
up and down on Josh Dobbs and Justin Fields are
not having a big night. But this was one of
those you could see it coming with the way that
the defense his work coming into this game.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, Dodds was awful, okay, And he did make the
one throw to Hockinson. He had another one where he
had Jordan Addison defender had fallen down, gone down Gordon
with an injury, and got back up and chucked him,
So they probably should have been in a legal contact.
There should have been an illegal contact. But either way,
Dobs threw the ball out of bounce. Didn't give Addison
(05:22):
a chance to make a play right, should have been
able to moon walk or backpedal or you know, somersault
his way into.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
The end zone.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Instead, you live to see another down if you're the
Bears defense. So he had four in the stat column
the anytime touchdown could have been any number of defenders
on really woefully thrown balls to the edges that they
just didn't catch. And look, every quarterback gets a few
of those over the course of the season.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's not all just Jimmy Garoppolo. Other guys have these.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Happen and it kept them in the game, right, It
kept them in the game, and you made the big
play late. Now you get a bye week, and that's
the other part that needs to be told for both
these squads.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Go back to Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Uh, you know you still have week thirteen bye weeks,
which is insane. Right, every team played this week we
had it was either week eight or week nine, every
team played, and now you've got teams with a week
thirteen by now.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well they don't want to have the bike. Look because
there's three games on Thanksgiving, there's one on Friday. You
don't want to have a Sunday where there's four games
on Sunday. But yeah, two games early, two games late.
That's all we got.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The bigger thing is is going back to that week
eight to nine scheduling thing, like it's I guess for
for some of these for one squad in particular the Ravens,
and they can't come at at a better time. Right,
you're already going to hit the over unless something happens
to Lamar Jackson in terms of games, in terms of
(06:57):
games played, you said he's got to get past twelve games.
He's played twelve games. So here we go. But you know,
opportunity for them for the vikings still, you know, part
of the giant in the hunt.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Graphic Twitter or how about a fresco Mike and Swollen
down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
So let's get to Bill Belichick here for a couple
of seconds, because there's so much talk. Now you're looking
at where the draft picks are right now, and still
the Panthers have the number one pick. They fire Frank
Reich earlier today. We'll have more on that coming up
(07:31):
later on this hour. You have the Arizona Cardinals and
you have the Patriots, and I know that there's the
you know, I've already come to grips with the fact
that I'm good. There's somehow the Patriots are gonna get
that number one pick, and I gotta watch Kayleb Williams
in the AFCs for the next decade. But all this
talk about Bill Belichick and gonna be with a new
team next year, whether it's a trade, whether it's a
(07:51):
trade of the rights, whether it's him just finishing this
year and going on. And there's so many teams saying,
oh yeah, yah, he could be here. He could be
in Washington, he could be in Los Ange. With the
chart you could be here, he could be here. I mean,
just watch a Patriots game and you tell me this
is a guy you really want. I mean, I get that.
You know, it's like looking at the back of a
guy's baseball card and going, boy, I can't wait to
(08:13):
get this guy. Well, this is Miguel Cabrera twenty twenty two.
Just because you get Miguel Cabrera doesn't mean you're getting
twenty eleven production. Belichick has We've talked about him, he's
lost his fastball. And you watch a game against the Giants,
and what do we watch late? He was okay, a
two win team, a two win team, he was okay,
going conservative running the football and running out a kicker
(08:36):
who was twelve for seventeen on the air, right, Usually
you're twelve for seventeen, you don't have a job. But
I'm putting a guy out there's twelve for seventeen and
he misses from thirty five yards. Belichick decided to go
unaggressive at the end of the game. Rob'm going an
okay kicking a field goal. And you could say, well,
the Patriots are tanking. They're tanking for a pick that
they're gonna make that Belichick's not gonna coach Belichick's gone,
(08:59):
why is he tanking? Right? So I say, what is
he doing? Like, I don't understand what he's doing. And
everything he has done for the page, either he's tanking
or he's lost his fastball, you pick, but everything he's
done since tom Brady left, the New England Patriots are
in disrepair. They don't have a good roster, they don't
(09:19):
have any prospects of winning. They're gonna be starting over
in a lot of positions. It's gonna be Remondre Stevenson
going boy. All these guys are new and this is
a downward turn of not just one year. This is
a whole big plan of Belichick. And when you realize that,
and I hope teams realize this, going okay, when did
Belichick win when he had the other team's plays in
(09:41):
Spygate and when he had Tom Brady, whichever one you
want to say is more important. That's when he won.
When he didn't have Spygate, he still had Tom Brady.
When he stopped having Tom Brady, he stopped winning. So
you tell me, is Belichick still a genius? I don't
get how people are going crazy to go get him
because they're thinking Belichick he's such a genius. It's like,
I get it. But that was years ago. And when
(10:01):
he's had a chance to do it again and build
the team his way how he's wanted to, it has failed. Miserable.
I would say this, miserably, You know, to take your
baseball card analogy. You know, you've gone into.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
The world in which I reside outside here, is that
Miguel Carbrera.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Is it numbered?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Because if it's serrely numbered, you're gonna have a certain
number of people that are gonna come after that card.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Is it numbered? Is it a jersey piece of a dressy?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But if it's say it's something numbered to ten, there's
at least ten Miguel Cabrera super collectors that need to
add that to that ninth slot in their binder page. Right,
same thing here looking at the back of the baseball
card for Bill Belichick, even with the subpar records down
the stretch, you're looking at a guy that normally and
(10:47):
this week's game was inexplicable in a lot of ways
coaching decisions. He's been a terrible GM and then he's
coached the hell out of what's there Now. Defensively, you
lost Judah and it was Aza.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
But is he still coaching the hell out of it?
He's not. No, no, But that's what I'm saying right right now.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
So, like the question is you've got to bring him
in and this is where you you hook him up
to a lie detector. Uh, and I guarantee he's giving
you nothing. It's like the guys when you're playing poker.
It's almost like he's dead. You don't know if he's
got a good hand or a badhand. But for bell Jack,
I don't even know. He's saying he's still enjoying coaching.
(11:26):
He's allegedly signed this long term deal. What if you
get him the actual quarterback?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
And that it's just a whiff on Mac Jones And
you know, Bailey Zappi's just a guy and you didn't
go into the marketplace for quarterback. Now, you did spend
terribly everywhere else. Right, pick a wide receiver he made,
there's a lot of.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
That worked out. His quarterback decisions is wide receiver decisions
is defensive to all these decisions have been bad, but
he brought Bill O'Brien back, and that's even been worse. Jason,
remember remember and taking easy his dog made those picks. Okay,
all right, But but that was the video that was
starting to make the rounds yesterday. We've joked about it before,
and there it was just.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Think super genius coming back into the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I mean, maybe he's gotta let Bill O'Brien start making
trades and make the team. Bet. You gotta let Bill
O'Brien loose.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
But there's the bigger thing, right, whether it's it's in
New England or with one of these other franchises. As
long as as long as he's not picking the groceries,
I give him a chance to coach if I got
a little bit of a defense there, But I'm not
bringing him in with any supervisory role outside of coaching
the team up. You're not the GM, You're not the
(12:39):
head football executive in Grand Puba.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
You are the head coach. Will buy you all the
hoodies you need. Everybody, everybody ends and they lose their edge.
Doesn't always have to be a player. Sometimes it happens
for coaches too. And Belichick click, it's like you go
crazy to go get a quarterback who's forty three years now,
and it's because his relation sit back. Did you ever
think that maybe he's broken? And he showed his humanity
(13:04):
in that for four years and making these draft been
a long time. It's been a while. No, no, no,
a fog because of the relations Let's not throw the
football here late in the fourth quarter. We could win
the game. No let's put the kicker out there. Let's
do that like well I did. There's no decision making
that I could say, yes, sign me up for that.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
He put the kicker out there knowing there was a
good chance he was gonna miss number two in the
current draft status for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
He's super, He's genius. He's calling Bob Kraft.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
You know, maybe I'll stay. I mean, i'll stay.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
If we have to pick a quarterback guy, it's not
gonna be stay, we'll stay. I'll stay. Yeah, maybe I'll stay.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Maybe.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I don't know why you would want him. I really don't.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
By the way, if you're in New England, who you
bring It goes back to the question we asked before.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Who you're bringing in that's better than him? Look at
all these house loads of guys failures everywhere. There's lots
of guys. Brandon Staley's coming to town this weekend. Let's
bring him in. Hey, we're getting rid of Bellichick for
brand to be more animated in the press conferences, Twitter

Speaker 4 (15:51):
No, it's it's uh.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I'm kind of enjoy it, though ignored that we're gonna
have to scour through the rest of the uh, the
lineups and see if we can scrape a few of
those dollars back.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Notice how we never had anything like that until Alex
Tyscher put his voice to it. Oh, now we have rejoins.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Now we have rejoints, you know, be asserted.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Finally, Yeah, spice it up. What else you got in
the arsa? What other impressions you got there? You want
a story that's just gonna get bigger and bigger, and
it's it's a shocking story today that cut through the clutter.
According to reports, Sports Illustrated has been running columns by
(16:36):
people who don't exist ghosts. Ghosts, Yes, from the Fox
show Ghosts. They've all been on the ghost Uh, Molly Honey,
you in danger. Uh. They've been running columns written by
a I specifically. So what does this mean. Well, one
(16:57):
website and this has become a big story today unearthed
that Sports Illustrated has had a couple of people who
have been covering sports and outdoor sports and different things,
not like they've been reporting on football games and the
these people, these writers are not real people. They are
AI characters. And the sites who have gone into this
(17:19):
have looked and seen that these characters, these AI characters
that have been made up, are actually for sale in
the AI Kingdom, Like you can buy these AI personas
and have them work for you. And you're like, wait
what Yeah, it's Sports Illustrations. According to respond you get
(17:39):
the same guy. You just keep cloning Michael Keaton until
it gets worse and worse. And Sports Illustrated they're they're
talking about it tonight. There's many people are suddenly taken
aback by this. But this is the investigation going on
right now that Sports Illustrated that was bought last year,
UH has been putting out reports by people that don't exist.
(18:01):
That are AI created and AI generated. And the evidence
is that none of these people have any online presence anywhere.
And but the big thing is finding them in the
big AI store. You can you can buy them. This
is Sports Illustrated, man, This is not some crazy ass website.
This is not something that that's been putting out blocks.
(18:24):
This is Sports Illustrated. This is Rick Riley and Frank
the Ford, the magazines that you and I grew up
watching you. Now I gotta realize it. Maybe Rick Riley
doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I got a giant stack of like old classics like
with you know, Walter Payton, and no.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Guys never existed. Guys never exist. They were all AI created.
Well maybe the people that wrote about him due all
a I created. I mean, if Rick Riley is a
replicant and he doesn't really exist, that's gone of problems.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
But you really gonna shatter a lot of worlds. The
Arena Group, they're the publisher of Sports Illustrated, said that
they ended their partnership with his ad. Von commerce company
that supplied the posts and the reps for that company
had not responded to your request for comment at the
time that this piece was put up and this was
in variety Todd Spangler. What I'm looking at there just
(19:13):
a fascinating look.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'm not shocked, like maybe it Doorts Illustrated am swift
not note really exists. But if you were going to
tell me that this happened in a bunch of aggregator
websites or whatever else, I just chuck and say I
had no doubt. No, but no, like like I said,
other websites, yes, I get it that are having difficulty
cutting through and hey we want to piece the pie.
(19:35):
But this is sports which at this point in things,
had you gone to SI dot com? And why any
are these models that are in the swimsuit issue?
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Are they real?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Are they AI generated?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Well, I don't know, go to any dating site. I
don't know a bunch of those AI.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
This is a time people want to know why is
AI so dangerous? This is why you have Sports Illustrated,
That is, you know, allegedly creating personas that don't exist,
reporting on sporting events. And the next step is skynet.
Well the run, it's the next step. Man Miles been
at Dyson. He's the guy that created all this. Man,
we got to go and find him. Dinging ding ding jing.
(20:11):
We gotta find Joe Morton.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
And tell him, dude, look at what you did.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Go get sick. Now we got to figure out a
way to save the world. This is how fast it goes.
It was just Sports Illustrated all we're doing with faking
some reports. Man, Now it's gonna be all big times
of battlefield and chrome warriors shooting guns chinging ding dingjing.
But think about it. The last couple of years we've
talked about it in the scenarios of all right, they'll
just fill in the gaps, whether it's in newspapers, blogs,
(20:38):
even for our purposes, like we really get deep into
our five dollar words every once in a while. You
got a lot of the dictionary that's been said in
our ten years together. So we go in with the AI.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
How did Mike or or Jason normally come down on
a story kind of like this boom, He got a
ten minute segment.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Ding jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jin.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Youll Falster parents are dead, ding jing jing jing jing.
You're gonna start playing. You can be mine in the bag.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
The next to square at thirty five points, What is
your dog's name?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Max? Hey, Jeanette, how's Wolfy Wolf's fine, honeywhere are you?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
The New York Jets are dead.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's a short stut It's really well done there, it's
a short stut man short. You had Sports Illustrated. Really,
if Rick Riley did not exist, if he had five
found he has, anybody's found Rick Riley today. He's been
retired to be doing air quotes. He's been retired. Maybe
they ran out their their subscription to that AI character
ran glitchy and he just had to retire. You were
(21:47):
in cat see Now we can jump to another schwartzen
Anger movie.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
You guys know who the editor in chief is, right,
get ready for a surprise.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Who is it?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
CHRISA.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Thompson. Oh, yes, that would make sense. That would makes sense.
She'd have interviews with the people, but they're not on camera.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I spoke to Rick Riley and Rick Riley said, he's
a real person. Don't you worry about that.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
It's all her interviews with AI coaches.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Got no strings on me. Steve Russian might not be real.
I'm trying to think of all my favorite Sports Illustrated.
I was really going to the hellast thirty years, like
our childhoods, all those uh, swimsuit issues that you'd hidden.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Yeah, so are those AI all?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You know they were already being air brushed and manipulated.
Now it's on a whole other levels. They said those
even exists.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
But I don't know what to think anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Body paint, dude, was it really painted? Telling you? I
don't know, telling you swatch out Jack McCallum probably didn't exist.
It's terrible dud and all these guys are fake. Well,
let me now you're finding out. Wait, hold on, I
gotta ask a question then, when we talk about jobs
and availability and and what's real and what it's fake.
(23:00):
I sent you guys a one of the greatest job
listings ever earlier this morning when we're talking about grizzly
bears and whether you can be a grizzly bear conflict manager. Oh,
that's the time I can do but that. But that's
got to be a real job. I don't think it's AI.
I think it's a real I think that's you send
a robot of you to try to dissuade the bear
(23:23):
being a problem. If you're sending well, if you're sending
a robot of you, the bear will not be able
to get your scent. So I think it would be
easier to uh subdue the bear if you were not real. Okay,
if he knocks an arm off of you, it's not
a real arm. Yeah. The position is a Grizzly Bear
conflict manager, uh for the R six Grizzly Bear Recovery
(23:45):
coordinat Oh. I think that's a real job. I think
it's a real job. Duty location is negotiable after selection,
but you got to be within one hundred miles of Missoula, Bozeman,
or cow Spell.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Duty locations is wherever the bear goes.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah. No, well, and you know what that is. I
bet you that could be a front for going after Bigfoot.
That's a front if you get that's a front grizzly Bear.
But is it a real listing or is it you know,
kind of in a nether world? This is like black
label kind of thing. That's a real job. It's a
real job telling you man black label.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
It sounds good right about now?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Wow, Christmas is coming? Maybe just think of all these
people Arman Kataan might not be real. I just saw
a picture of him celebrating, like cooking some kind of
meat or something. Pat Fo showed up in my time,
whine Pat, he might not be real. You mean that
guy we talked to. You interviewed the guy all the time.
He might not be real. All it might not be real.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Bigfoot was playing a quarterback for the Jets on fire.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Jackie McMullen might not be real.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I mean it might not be real, Jackie McMullen.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
All friends of the show are all Ahi Leemontville might
not be real. Dan Patrick did the back pages, but
he didn't not be real. This show might not be real.
It might not be It might not This might be something.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Blitchy.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
It might be happening. Get ready for a surprise. You
know what is real?
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Though?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
What is real? The chase them down, gets it off,
call it the ends, and then.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
It is picked off.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Oh that's gonna get in off it and it's hollowed.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
At the twenty thirty, he's cutting back inside forty of
My New.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
York for twenty five twenty the right five. That was
not real.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
That was an AI play.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Oh that was real. That was too ridiculous to be real.
That was too ridiculous to be real. No, that's how
you know it's real. Now you know you only want
your story off of that day after Thanksgiving, cool quick,
the day after Thanksgiving, you your Friday game, that game standalone,
that play happens. Yeah, And I turned the TV off
and said, I'm done. I did not watch the second
half of the game. I can't tell you lesson. I
(25:52):
didn't miss much. I didn't watch a Jets game. I said,
you know, I don't believe I'm just done. I just
because I died a little bit in that. Because there
there's games where I go, you know what I can't.
I can't do it. It does a little bit of
your soul. But a cumulative effect. I don't know the
last time I did because that game, that with that play,
when I say, I said, that's all. People are going
to talk about the games over what is going because
(26:12):
not like the first half was any good. Tim Boyle
was still throwing the ball to the line of scrimmage.
The Jets were still calling ridiculously awful offensive plays, and
there was nothing. There was no way out. But here
you go. We let up a pick six on a
hail Mary and I try. I said, that's it. I
put my phone down and I went and and and
my family and our friends were playing games and go
I'm ready to play. What are we playing? We're playing
(26:32):
train dominoes. I'm ready. Not how to play, No, but
you'll teach me in five minutes. Well, what about the
second half? Not gonna watch it.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Let's go. Let's play.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
That's pretty impressive. Let's play. You know it's fun you
gotta reach. It's like Regis, let's play. It's funny because
Eleanor is all about my my, my daughters. For the
unaware and new to the show, thanks for being part
of the extended family, h come on in and stay
awhile Eleanor is only one of your daughters. She's not
as she's one of their daughter theater kids, going to
(27:00):
and nursing, all this fun stuff. But she loves live events, right, So,
no matter what you say, if it's a baseball game,
football game, concert, theater, it's like I'm in. There's energy,
there's excitement. But Madeline, it's soccer and really nothing else
at this point, right, so football isn't a terribly thrilling thing.
(27:21):
It also takes dad away from chunks of days for work,
et cetera.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
And so she was like, what are you watching? I go, oh,
that was pretty funny. She goes why are you laughing?
I go, let me show you this. And at one
point I had explained the concept of a pick six.
She goes, wow, that's pretty impressive ninety nine yards, but.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
This was a hail Mary pixels.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
But that was it, and then I had to explain
that it's like no, no, no, it's the last play,
and she goes, wow.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
They really sucked. Like I'm done.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I saw, I'm just done. I died a little bit inside.
I said, I'm done. I'm done. I'm gonna enjoy the
rest of my black faudust. She enjoyed the hell out
of that, and then she knew I was texting you immediately.
How you doing over there?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Pal?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Now last hour
we talked about We were talking about the Bears win
over the Vikings and the Bears win a game for
the first time in thirty years without scoring a touchdown.
Last time they won a game without a touchdown was
thirty years ago. They beat the Falcons six to nothing
in a game and I challenged Steve de Sager, who's
(28:25):
gonna tell.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Us what's trending coming up right now?
Speaker 1 (28:28):
To find a play by play from that game? The
six to nothing game, Kevin Butler two field goals, accounting
for all of the scoring in that game. Steve, O,
how did you do? And for Butler a fifty yard
of tempt.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Not long enough, Steve, that was ai.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
So you got a missed field goal, you got a
miss fail.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
They had to be a typical Sunday afternoon Pat Summer
Al game.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Here nothing at Soldier Field.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah, that was fourth quarter, I believe. No, Actually, the
closest I got was the actual Sunday highlights. It was
such a bad game. Chris Berman sat it out. He
probably did highlights of every other game that day, but
this was TJ with Robin Roberts. Believer, you found the
primetime highlight of it. Absolutely, and it was such a
bad game. They actually focused, I'm not kidding on this highlight.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
Like the fourth quarter six nothing Bears Harold Alexander an
excellent punt Terry Hoby chooses to let it bounce and
it turns into a seventy four yard punt.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
That that is the highlight of the game, Ladies and
a gentleman. And then she makes a great point here
near the end after the Bears make a defensive stop
to get the win for their beloved coach that picks
up a.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Winning the Bears one thousand game. Bobby Aber left the
game at the three quarters of an elbow injury. I
get this guy. The Bears are the sixteen this season
to win a game without scoring a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Sixteens already that year? This was only Week five had
won a game without scoring a touchdown. The Falcons were
zero to five after this game. No wonder the Cowboys
won the Super Bowl. Jim Harbaugh beats Bobby a Bear
in Chicago six nothing in nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Tonight it was well, let me tell you because you
want a good story, so because you know that was
me working as a paad ESPN in nineteen ninety three,
and I worked there, and I worked on primetime, and
Robin Roberts was on prime Time, and she would always
get three games out of the whole list of games,
(30:39):
whatever it was, and she would always get three of
the worst games on the schedule. Verman would get all
the better and you would see in the Rundown Cowboys
forty nine Ers four minutes, Steelers Raiders three and a
half minutes, and then Rob would get again Saints Falcons
minute thirty. I mean Robin would get there and she
(31:02):
would get the worst game.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
I repeat, the punt was a highlight of a six nothings.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Back and then we did cover a lot of plays
in that two minutes, and that highlight she.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Would have gotten Giants Patriots this weekend. Oh yo, easy
for tonight's game. And I just read and the thing
is being in TV now, in radio for thirty years.
I don't know if there's a nicer person I've ever
met than Robin Roberts. I really don't.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Hey, hey, incredibly, you're not nice, not nice? You're nice?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
What are you?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
I said?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Nice? Wow? Exactly nice? Your applications for glugporters in twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Four minutes you're talking about text arm are the nicest
people in the world. We have an actual highlight from
tonight as the Bears were lining up for the winning
field goal. Here this is how it sound on Vikings Radio.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
White Ash snap spots, Santosis pick is up and he
made it with ten seconds to go in the game.
The Chicago Bears have a twelve to.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Ten league had me going there a cafe and one
hundred point three FM, so Cairo Santos goes four or
five on field goals, including that game winning thirty yarders.
So this from the folks at stat Zinc in the
Super Bowl era. So that's over fifty five years worth
of NFL games. The Bears are the only teams to
win a road game doing all of this in the game,
(32:27):
scoring no touchdowns, losing multiple fumbles, and having at least
seventy five penalty yards. When teams had done all that
in a game before tonight, those road teams were oh
and forty six. But the Chicago Bears come up with
a w twelve to ten at Minnesota, and our former
coworker Andrew Ciciliano points out the Vikings this year have
(32:50):
had two whole games where they're under two hundred and
fifty yards of offense. Both are the games against the Bears.
Josh Dobbs for Minnesota one touchdown, four interceptions.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Tonight, Scott just texted me Steve to dump that the Bears.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Are looking good for the draft since Carolina has won
and ten and the Panthers fired coach Frank right today.
In the late NBA game in La Denver without three
injured players, leading the Clippers ninety two to ninety with
seven minutes to go. Reggie Jackson against the Clippers has
twenty seven points and three homers. I believe in this
(33:23):
one game, but out due to injuries. Nicola Jokic, Aaron Gordon,
and Jamal Murray. Philadelphia ripped the Lakers one, thirty eight
to ninety four.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Glad to you, thanks much. Did it happened? Yes, The
Jason Smith Show is my best friend. Mike Harmon a
nice job finding those highlights. I probably know the person
who cut that highlight for primetime. I probably know.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Those were not your fingers.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I would remember doing that game six and oh my god.
But there was a big hierarchy like production assistance. We
would see who got the best game, because that was
the big thing was if you got to cut a
primetime game, they thought you were a great PA and
it was we would all fight like, oh what game
did you get?
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I got I got Saints Falcons.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Oh dude, they must hate you.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
You'll Oh what you get? Ah I got? I got,
I got forty nine Ers Chiefs, I got Montana there,
So there was always a big fight there. There.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
You have the three clips of the Bobby a Bear turnovers,
so you have the long punt that we heard and
then the fourth down stop at the end, and that's
pretty much your highlights. And then you say this is
not new. Teams win all the time that scoring touchdowns
this year at the NFL. Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live the tirec

seen quarterback change after quarterback change, are we about to
see another one? Listen to what was just said a
few moments ago. That's coming up next. Jason and Mike

You you you You're cool.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox Hors Radio.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
Live from the tire rack dot com Studios. We got
a great football story coming your way in about ten minutes.
Because I always love irrational fans. But we've seen a
lot of quarterback change this year in the NFL. Some
because quarterbacks aren't very good, yeah, some because guys got hurt.
We've had fifty guys start again this year. Fifty down
(35:23):
for fifty three a years. It is, it is, and
the Jets still can't find So. After tonight's game where
the Bears beat the Vikings twelve to ten. Yeah, heading
into the bye week, I don't yeh rid Bears are hot, man,
rest them away. Bears are hot. We don't need to
score touch touchdowns are overrated. We just need field goals
and defense. Field goals and defense.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, take some solid senate though, Vikings fans, justin Jefferson
will be back after the bye and yes, this week,
next week, I will not lose.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Bears have a two week non losing streak going already.
I think that's the first in the eber Flus era,
so thirty years. So, after the game was over, Kevin O'Connell,
former intern here head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, was
asked about Josh Dobbs's status. Now, Josh Dobbs has played
really well the first couple of games with the Vikings,
(36:14):
and you know, kind of a stinker tonight, but still,
to be fair, he did throw a touchdown pass that
gave the Vikings the lead right yor winning ten to nine, right,
and the Vikings defense allowed the Bears to get downfield
and score. So no, was it a great game for
Josh Dobbs not. Did he turn the ball over a lot? Yeah,
but the guy had two really good games and you
wouldn't have won the games without him. So you would
think that Josh Dobbs' job security is pretty safe. Well,
(36:39):
let's listen to Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell get that
question following tonight's game.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Look, I think what Josh Dobbs has really done is
coming in here on short notice and really you know,
going you know two and two in a stretch where
you know a lot of people might have thought Kirk
Cousins and Justin Jefferson being out know, the deck stacked
against us. That's not the way this team thinks. That's
not the way we operate. It's not the way I operate.
(37:05):
We're trying to go out and win every football game
we play, and we're going to evaluate what we've been
able to do, things we need to get better at,
and we'll take a look at, you know what that
looks like. Hopefully we'll get Justin back. He was close
tonight and that'll you know, getting him back anytime you
can infuse that into your offense. I mean it makes
everybody around him better. So we'll take a look at everything.
(37:29):
We got a lot of work to do during the bye.
I do want these guys to get some time. It's
been a grind. It's been a stretch for though.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Then they put it. They've continued to show up and
play very, very hard.
Speaker 7 (37:39):
They prepare the right way when they come back off
this buy, we'll make sure we got a great plan
for going to Vegas and whatever that looks like.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
We'll be ready to go.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, so Josh Dobbs is done. Yeah, that's quarter. That
was a lot of words. Because if he has his
back and Josh Dobbs's guy, he just says, no, Josh,
you know Josh and have a great night tonight. But
believer in Josh Dobbs will figure it out. We haven't
been able to finish the last two weeks. But to
go out of your way to say we're gonna look
at everything and this you're not gonna give Really you
(38:10):
really think Nick Mullens.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Is the guy.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
But even before he got to that point, really, as
soon as he started tap dancing off the jump about well,
Josh comes in in this situation.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Una do it. Yeah, you don't need to do all that,
Like as soon as you started that long preamble scrolls
done right at the beginning of a Star Wars movie.
And here I'm setting up the story. So is Josh
Doobbs a guy?
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Well, let me tell you a story.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
So back about fifty years ago, when I was okay,
Josh Dobbs, really, Sean Mannion's better? I mean really, what
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Really?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
What what are you gonna really these guys about it?
These guys, Baby, everything is gonna be all right? Rock
A direct snap to Justin Jefferson. I mean really, No,
Josh Dobbs did not have a big game tonight, and
I understand that. But in the end, Josh Dobbs has
been pretty good. He's been pretty good. He won two
(39:04):
games for you. I don't understand the whole Yeah, now
we gotta go to somebody else, really, the other guy.
If those other guys were good enough, you would have
gone to them. You wouldn't have traded for Josh Dobbs,
you wouldn't have brought him into be your starter. I really,
I don't get that whole rip.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Total of eight touchdowns in his four games right, five passing,
three rushing, and then you have the big four interception
game tonight.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
So obviously that's a glaring red X in your He's
had one bad game, and I get that you were
supposed to be here at home and you lose to
the Bears. It's embarrassing. But who else is gonna give
you only a field goal favorite? It's not like you
were some prohibited home favorite. This wasn't we were a
four touchdown favorite. Were three and a half. I mean
it was not a not a big big point spread.
(39:50):
Yeah if I no home field advantage means nothing, But yeah,
Vikings do this. Watch what happens to their season. Now
suddenly we're gonna go to a guy that we didn't
believe in before, but now we're gonna go to just
because like, what the hell are you doing?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Man?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
With it is that you're getting Justin Jefferson back?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
You don't think that the offense gets a lot easier
even if he's up there just doing calisthenics.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
So for on the left, what wave wave Josh Dobbs
so the Jets can get him and start him next?
You wouldn't pick him up wave Josh Douglas would ignore
him on the whe wave, Josh Dobbs and the Jets
can get him. And now I'll call Joe Douglas and say, Dude, dude,
pick this guy up. Man pick him up. He wouldn't
do it, pick him up. I really I don't the Vike.
I don't understand this. I don't understand. Oh, we're gonna
(40:32):
look at everything, and Josh, where you gonna get mad?
An answer of two minutes could have just said, this
is our guy. Tarkington can't throw the football anymore. Going
into a bye week. Tommy Kramer's not walking through that door,
Warren Moon not walking.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Through that door.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Sean Salisbury is not walking through that door. Wow, suddenly,
Josh Dobbs.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Uh.

(00:45):
tyrack dot com. The way tire buying should be. The
Bears win. They beat the Vikings twelve ten. Yeah, a
game that if you bet at any time touchdown in
that game, you sweated that crap out until Tjhawking and
finally scored midway through the fourth corner. Suddenly there was
a parting of the red sea, very much like DJ
(01:07):
Moore catching the ball on that big play that took
it inside the Vikings ten inexplicable.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah right, you've got from both sides. Bears have done
a good job containing Hockinson all night. Suddenly he's running
free and finds his space over the middle to catch
the touchdown and then to seal things and set up
the Santos field goal. Flores, who's blitzing the hell out
of Justin Fields all night. Suddenly he's got a clean
(01:33):
pocket and stands there like a statue delivering a beautiful
ball down the field. Seventeen pass attempts out of the
thirty seven from Justin Fields at or behind the line
of scrimmage.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I'm sorry, you meant to say Tim Boyle. Sorry you
met to say Tim Boyle. There you said justin field.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well that's assuming he got the ball off, say Timbole. Look,
same guy, this guy. This game was awful.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It's stunk. This game was absolutely terrible, and it was
a game that we normally see on Thursday nights. This
would be this would have been a divisional matchup on
a Thursday night. You know the happiest guy in the
world right now, al Michaels. He is having a champagne toast,
going boy, Glad I didn't have that game on Thursday.
All right, get Kirk and then get him on the speaker. Kirk,
are you watching this crap? Hey, dodge the bullet, didn't
(02:19):
we Kirk? All right, you're ready for Thursday night? Yeah,
we got Cowboys. Let's go. Let's go get him. Man
went great.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Gee.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, Look, this game was absolutely awful. And you know,
we'll get into Belichick in a second. But Josh Dobbs,
now as well as he has played tonight, was a stinker.
But he did put Look you say for the stinker
that Josh Dobbs had, he did put the Vikings in
position a game. They were up ten nine and all
of a sudden, the Vikings defense was giving a big
(02:47):
long plays to justin fields and he gives it up.
He now has the most turnovers in the NFL this season.
He's got seventeen turnovers, now more than Josh Allen, who
you thought was running away with that a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So you've got a couple of guys that aren't far behind.
Two is not far behind.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
There's a couple of guys that are standing right there.
This is Look, let's talk about let's talk about Josh
Dobbs just for a couple of seconds here. This was
as bad a game as this was. This was not
a bad And I'm gonna say something nice here because
I feel like Peyton Manning. I'm trying to be a
good team Brooks Classic. No, it's midnight, Sinrell, I'm gonna
(03:27):
say something nice. This wasn't a game because both of
these teams were terrible, although you can easily say that,
but I'm gonna be nice. The under hits again, let's
go both of You could see this coming because both
of these teams defenses have been playing at a very
high level the last few weeks, right, I mean we
(03:47):
knew that coming into this game. Hey, Vikings defense has
been fantastic. Bears defense has been fanta pastic. Done week
they did some good things, so you could tell the
Vikings trying to figure things out. Still, No, Justin Jefferson
not knowing how the running game was gonna go. Was
Alexander Madison gonna be one fumble away from being benched?
Justin Field's still trying to feel his way back in
(04:09):
and the Vikings defense playing really well at home. You
knew it was gonna be a tough game now, didn't
thing it'd be this tough it was gonna be Wow,
this is terrible. But this is not a case the
other guy watched the Jets play each other or the
Jets scrimmage Iowa. This was watching two teams and two
really good defenses have their way with the other teams.
You saw a lot of big hits. You saw a
lot of opportunistic defensive plays. You saw turnovers that were
(04:32):
all forced by the defense. These are not plays where
where a guy was just running the football and just
fell out of his hand. No, you had four deflected
passes because guys got hit and the Bears were able
to come up with the football. And the Vikings knocked
the ball out of Justin Field's hands when he was
trying to run for first downs a couple of times.
I mean, these were defenses playing at a high level.
So yeah, I know it's gonna be easy to jump
(04:52):
up and down on Josh Dobbs and Justin Fields are
not having a big night. But this was one of
those you could see it coming with the way that
the defense his work coming into this game.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, Dodds was awful, okay, And he did make the
one throw to Hockinson. He had another one where he
had Jordan Addison defender had fallen down, gone down Gordon
with an injury, and got back up and chucked him,
So they probably should have been in a legal contact.
There should have been an illegal contact. But either way,
Dobs threw the ball out of bounce. Didn't give Addison
(05:22):
a chance to make a play right, should have been
able to moon walk or backpedal or you know, somersault
his way into.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
The end zone.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Instead, you live to see another down if you're the
Bears defense. So he had four in the stat column
the anytime touchdown could have been any number of defenders
on really woefully thrown balls to the edges that they
just didn't catch. And look, every quarterback gets a few
of those over the course of the season.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's not all just Jimmy Garoppolo. Other guys have these.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Happen and it kept them in the game, right, It
kept them in the game, and you made the big
play late. Now you get a bye week, and that's
the other part that needs to be told for both
these squads.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Go back to Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Uh, you know you still have week thirteen bye weeks,
which is insane. Right, every team played this week we
had it was either week eight or week nine, every
team played, and now you've got teams with a week
thirteen by now.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well they don't want to have the bike. Look because
there's three games on Thanksgiving, there's one on Friday. You
don't want to have a Sunday where there's four games
on Sunday. But yeah, two games early, two games late.
That's all we got.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The bigger thing is is going back to that week
eight to nine scheduling thing, like it's I guess for
for some of these for one squad in particular the Ravens,
and they can't come at at a better time. Right,
you're already going to hit the over unless something happens
to Lamar Jackson in terms of games, in terms of
(06:57):
games played, you said he's got to get past twelve games.
He's played twelve games. So here we go. But you know,
opportunity for them for the vikings still, you know, part
of the giant in the hunt.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Graphic Twitter or how about a fresco Mike and Swollen
down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
So let's get to Bill Belichick here for a couple
of seconds, because there's so much talk. Now you're looking
at where the draft picks are right now, and still
the Panthers have the number one pick. They fire Frank
Reich earlier today. We'll have more on that coming up
(07:31):
later on this hour. You have the Arizona Cardinals and
you have the Patriots, and I know that there's the
you know, I've already come to grips with the fact
that I'm good. There's somehow the Patriots are gonna get
that number one pick, and I gotta watch Kayleb Williams
in the AFCs for the next decade. But all this
talk about Bill Belichick and gonna be with a new
team next year, whether it's a trade, whether it's a
(07:51):
trade of the rights, whether it's him just finishing this
year and going on. And there's so many teams saying,
oh yeah, yah, he could be here. He could be
in Washington, he could be in Los Ange. With the
chart you could be here, he could be here. I mean,
just watch a Patriots game and you tell me this
is a guy you really want. I mean, I get that.
You know, it's like looking at the back of a
guy's baseball card and going, boy, I can't wait to
(08:13):
get this guy. Well, this is Miguel Cabrera twenty twenty two.
Just because you get Miguel Cabrera doesn't mean you're getting
twenty eleven production. Belichick has We've talked about him, he's
lost his fastball. And you watch a game against the Giants,
and what do we watch late? He was okay, a
two win team, a two win team, he was okay,
going conservative running the football and running out a kicker
(08:36):
who was twelve for seventeen on the air, right, Usually
you're twelve for seventeen, you don't have a job. But
I'm putting a guy out there's twelve for seventeen and
he misses from thirty five yards. Belichick decided to go
unaggressive at the end of the game. Rob'm going an
okay kicking a field goal. And you could say, well,
the Patriots are tanking. They're tanking for a pick that
they're gonna make that Belichick's not gonna coach Belichick's gone,
(08:59):
why is he tanking? Right? So I say, what is
he doing? Like, I don't understand what he's doing. And
everything he has done for the page, either he's tanking
or he's lost his fastball, you pick, but everything he's
done since tom Brady left, the New England Patriots are
in disrepair. They don't have a good roster, they don't
(09:19):
have any prospects of winning. They're gonna be starting over
in a lot of positions. It's gonna be Remondre Stevenson
going boy. All these guys are new and this is
a downward turn of not just one year. This is
a whole big plan of Belichick. And when you realize that,
and I hope teams realize this, going okay, when did
Belichick win when he had the other team's plays in
(09:41):
Spygate and when he had Tom Brady, whichever one you
want to say is more important. That's when he won.
When he didn't have Spygate, he still had Tom Brady.
When he stopped having Tom Brady, he stopped winning. So
you tell me, is Belichick still a genius? I don't
get how people are going crazy to go get him
because they're thinking Belichick he's such a genius. It's like,
I get it. But that was years ago. And when
(10:01):
he's had a chance to do it again and build
the team his way how he's wanted to, it has failed. Miserable.
I would say this, miserably, You know, to take your
baseball card analogy. You know, you've gone into.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
The world in which I reside outside here, is that
Miguel Carbrera.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Is it numbered?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Because if it's serrely numbered, you're gonna have a certain
number of people that are gonna come after that card.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Is it numbered? Is it a jersey piece of a dressy?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But if it's say it's something numbered to ten, there's
at least ten Miguel Cabrera super collectors that need to
add that to that ninth slot in their binder page. Right,
same thing here looking at the back of the baseball
card for Bill Belichick, even with the subpar records down
the stretch, you're looking at a guy that normally and
(10:47):
this week's game was inexplicable in a lot of ways
coaching decisions. He's been a terrible GM and then he's
coached the hell out of what's there Now. Defensively, you
lost Judah and it was Aza.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
But is he still coaching the hell out of it?
He's not. No, no, But that's what I'm saying right right now.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
So, like the question is you've got to bring him
in and this is where you you hook him up
to a lie detector. Uh, and I guarantee he's giving
you nothing. It's like the guys when you're playing poker.
It's almost like he's dead. You don't know if he's
got a good hand or a badhand. But for bell Jack,
I don't even know. He's saying he's still enjoying coaching.
(11:26):
He's allegedly signed this long term deal. What if you
get him the actual quarterback?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
And that it's just a whiff on Mac Jones And
you know, Bailey Zappi's just a guy and you didn't
go into the marketplace for quarterback. Now, you did spend
terribly everywhere else. Right, pick a wide receiver he made,
there's a lot of.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
That worked out. His quarterback decisions is wide receiver decisions
is defensive to all these decisions have been bad, but
he brought Bill O'Brien back, and that's even been worse. Jason,
remember remember and taking easy his dog made those picks. Okay,
all right, But but that was the video that was
starting to make the rounds yesterday. We've joked about it before,
and there it was just.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Think super genius coming back into the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I mean, maybe he's gotta let Bill O'Brien start making
trades and make the team. Bet. You gotta let Bill
O'Brien loose.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
But there's the bigger thing, right, whether it's it's in
New England or with one of these other franchises. As
long as as long as he's not picking the groceries,
I give him a chance to coach if I got
a little bit of a defense there, But I'm not
bringing him in with any supervisory role outside of coaching
the team up. You're not the GM, You're not the
(12:39):
head football executive in Grand Puba.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
You are the head coach. Will buy you all the
hoodies you need. Everybody, everybody ends and they lose their edge.
Doesn't always have to be a player. Sometimes it happens
for coaches too. And Belichick click, it's like you go
crazy to go get a quarterback who's forty three years now,
and it's because his relation sit back. Did you ever
think that maybe he's broken? And he showed his humanity
(13:04):
in that for four years and making these draft been
a long time. It's been a while. No, no, no,
a fog because of the relations Let's not throw the
football here late in the fourth quarter. We could win
the game. No let's put the kicker out there. Let's
do that like well I did. There's no decision making
that I could say, yes, sign me up for that.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
He put the kicker out there knowing there was a
good chance he was gonna miss number two in the
current draft status for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
He's super, He's genius. He's calling Bob Kraft.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
You know, maybe I'll stay. I mean, i'll stay.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
If we have to pick a quarterback guy, it's not
gonna be stay, we'll stay. I'll stay. Yeah, maybe I'll stay.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Maybe.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I don't know why you would want him. I really don't.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
By the way, if you're in New England, who you
bring It goes back to the question we asked before.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Who you're bringing in that's better than him? Look at
all these house loads of guys failures everywhere. There's lots
of guys. Brandon Staley's coming to town this weekend. Let's
bring him in. Hey, we're getting rid of Bellichick for
brand to be more animated in the press conferences, Twitter

Speaker 4 (15:51):
No, it's it's uh.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I'm kind of enjoy it, though ignored that we're gonna
have to scour through the rest of the uh, the
lineups and see if we can scrape a few of
those dollars back.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Notice how we never had anything like that until Alex
Tyscher put his voice to it. Oh, now we have rejoins.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Now we have rejoints, you know, be asserted.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Finally, Yeah, spice it up. What else you got in
the arsa? What other impressions you got there? You want
a story that's just gonna get bigger and bigger, and
it's it's a shocking story today that cut through the clutter.
According to reports, Sports Illustrated has been running columns by
(16:36):
people who don't exist ghosts. Ghosts, Yes, from the Fox
show Ghosts. They've all been on the ghost Uh, Molly Honey,
you in danger. Uh. They've been running columns written by
a I specifically. So what does this mean. Well, one
(16:57):
website and this has become a big story today unearthed
that Sports Illustrated has had a couple of people who
have been covering sports and outdoor sports and different things,
not like they've been reporting on football games and the
these people, these writers are not real people. They are
AI characters. And the sites who have gone into this
(17:19):
have looked and seen that these characters, these AI characters
that have been made up, are actually for sale in
the AI Kingdom, Like you can buy these AI personas
and have them work for you. And you're like, wait
what Yeah, it's Sports Illustrations. According to respond you get
(17:39):
the same guy. You just keep cloning Michael Keaton until
it gets worse and worse. And Sports Illustrated they're they're
talking about it tonight. There's many people are suddenly taken
aback by this. But this is the investigation going on
right now that Sports Illustrated that was bought last year,
UH has been putting out reports by people that don't exist.
(18:01):
That are AI created and AI generated. And the evidence
is that none of these people have any online presence anywhere.
And but the big thing is finding them in the
big AI store. You can you can buy them. This
is Sports Illustrated, man, This is not some crazy ass website.
This is not something that that's been putting out blocks.
(18:24):
This is Sports Illustrated. This is Rick Riley and Frank
the Ford, the magazines that you and I grew up
watching you. Now I gotta realize it. Maybe Rick Riley
doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I got a giant stack of like old classics like
with you know, Walter Payton, and no.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Guys never existed. Guys never exist. They were all AI created.
Well maybe the people that wrote about him due all
a I created. I mean, if Rick Riley is a
replicant and he doesn't really exist, that's gone of problems.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
But you really gonna shatter a lot of worlds. The
Arena Group, they're the publisher of Sports Illustrated, said that
they ended their partnership with his ad. Von commerce company
that supplied the posts and the reps for that company
had not responded to your request for comment at the
time that this piece was put up and this was
in variety Todd Spangler. What I'm looking at there just
(19:13):
a fascinating look.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'm not shocked, like maybe it Doorts Illustrated am swift
not note really exists. But if you were going to
tell me that this happened in a bunch of aggregator
websites or whatever else, I just chuck and say I
had no doubt. No, but no, like like I said,
other websites, yes, I get it that are having difficulty
cutting through and hey we want to piece the pie.
(19:35):
But this is sports which at this point in things,
had you gone to SI dot com? And why any
are these models that are in the swimsuit issue?
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Are they real?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Are they AI generated?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Well, I don't know, go to any dating site. I
don't know a bunch of those AI.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
This is a time people want to know why is
AI so dangerous? This is why you have Sports Illustrated,
That is, you know, allegedly creating personas that don't exist,
reporting on sporting events. And the next step is skynet.
Well the run, it's the next step. Man Miles been
at Dyson. He's the guy that created all this. Man,
we got to go and find him. Dinging ding ding jing.
(20:11):
We gotta find Joe Morton.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
And tell him, dude, look at what you did.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Go get sick. Now we got to figure out a
way to save the world. This is how fast it goes.
It was just Sports Illustrated all we're doing with faking
some reports. Man, Now it's gonna be all big times
of battlefield and chrome warriors shooting guns chinging ding dingjing.
But think about it. The last couple of years we've
talked about it in the scenarios of all right, they'll
just fill in the gaps, whether it's in newspapers, blogs,
(20:38):
even for our purposes, like we really get deep into
our five dollar words every once in a while. You
got a lot of the dictionary that's been said in
our ten years together. So we go in with the AI.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
How did Mike or or Jason normally come down on
a story kind of like this boom, He got a
ten minute segment.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Ding jing jing jing jing jing jing jing jin.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Youll Falster parents are dead, ding jing jing jing jing.
You're gonna start playing. You can be mine in the bag.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
The next to square at thirty five points, What is
your dog's name?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Max? Hey, Jeanette, how's Wolfy Wolf's fine, honeywhere are you?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
The New York Jets are dead.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's a short stut It's really well done there, it's
a short stut man short. You had Sports Illustrated. Really,
if Rick Riley did not exist, if he had five
found he has, anybody's found Rick Riley today. He's been
retired to be doing air quotes. He's been retired. Maybe
they ran out their their subscription to that AI character
ran glitchy and he just had to retire. You were
(21:47):
in cat see Now we can jump to another schwartzen
Anger movie.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
You guys know who the editor in chief is, right,
get ready for a surprise.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Who is it?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
CHRISA.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Thompson. Oh, yes, that would make sense. That would makes sense.
She'd have interviews with the people, but they're not on camera.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I spoke to Rick Riley and Rick Riley said, he's
a real person. Don't you worry about that.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
It's all her interviews with AI coaches.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Got no strings on me. Steve Russian might not be real.
I'm trying to think of all my favorite Sports Illustrated.
I was really going to the hellast thirty years, like
our childhoods, all those uh, swimsuit issues that you'd hidden.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Yeah, so are those AI all?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You know they were already being air brushed and manipulated.
Now it's on a whole other levels. They said those
even exists.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
But I don't know what to think anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Body paint, dude, was it really painted? Telling you? I
don't know, telling you swatch out Jack McCallum probably didn't exist.
It's terrible dud and all these guys are fake. Well,
let me now you're finding out. Wait, hold on, I
gotta ask a question then, when we talk about jobs
and availability and and what's real and what it's fake.
(23:00):
I sent you guys a one of the greatest job
listings ever earlier this morning when we're talking about grizzly
bears and whether you can be a grizzly bear conflict manager. Oh,
that's the time I can do but that. But that's
got to be a real job. I don't think it's AI.
I think it's a real I think that's you send
a robot of you to try to dissuade the bear
(23:23):
being a problem. If you're sending well, if you're sending
a robot of you, the bear will not be able
to get your scent. So I think it would be
easier to uh subdue the bear if you were not real. Okay,
if he knocks an arm off of you, it's not
a real arm. Yeah. The position is a Grizzly Bear
conflict manager, uh for the R six Grizzly Bear Recovery
(23:45):
coordinat Oh. I think that's a real job. I think
it's a real job. Duty location is negotiable after selection,
but you got to be within one hundred miles of Missoula, Bozeman,
or cow Spell.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Duty locations is wherever the bear goes.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah. No, well, and you know what that is. I
bet you that could be a front for going after Bigfoot.
That's a front if you get that's a front grizzly Bear.
But is it a real listing or is it you know,
kind of in a nether world? This is like black
label kind of thing. That's a real job. It's a
real job telling you man black label.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
It sounds good right about now?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Wow, Christmas is coming? Maybe just think of all these
people Arman Kataan might not be real. I just saw
a picture of him celebrating, like cooking some kind of
meat or something. Pat Fo showed up in my time,
whine Pat, he might not be real. You mean that
guy we talked to. You interviewed the guy all the time.
He might not be real. All it might not be real.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Bigfoot was playing a quarterback for the Jets on fire.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Jackie McMullen might not be real.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I mean it might not be real, Jackie McMullen.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
All friends of the show are all Ahi Leemontville might
not be real. Dan Patrick did the back pages, but
he didn't not be real. This show might not be real.
It might not be It might not This might be something.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Blitchy.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
It might be happening. Get ready for a surprise. You
know what is real?
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Though?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
What is real? The chase them down, gets it off,
call it the ends, and then.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
It is picked off.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Oh that's gonna get in off it and it's hollowed.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
At the twenty thirty, he's cutting back inside forty of
My New.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
York for twenty five twenty the right five. That was
not real.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
That was an AI play.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Oh that was real. That was too ridiculous to be real.
That was too ridiculous to be real. No, that's how
you know it's real. Now you know you only want
your story off of that day after Thanksgiving, cool quick,
the day after Thanksgiving, you your Friday game, that game standalone,
that play happens. Yeah, And I turned the TV off
and said, I'm done. I did not watch the second
half of the game. I can't tell you lesson. I
(25:52):
didn't miss much. I didn't watch a Jets game. I said,
you know, I don't believe I'm just done. I just
because I died a little bit in that. Because there
there's games where I go, you know what I can't.
I can't do it. It does a little bit of
your soul. But a cumulative effect. I don't know the
last time I did because that game, that with that play,
when I say, I said, that's all. People are going
to talk about the games over what is going because
(26:12):
not like the first half was any good. Tim Boyle
was still throwing the ball to the line of scrimmage.
The Jets were still calling ridiculously awful offensive plays, and
there was nothing. There was no way out. But here
you go. We let up a pick six on a
hail Mary and I try. I said, that's it. I
put my phone down and I went and and and
my family and our friends were playing games and go
I'm ready to play. What are we playing? We're playing
(26:32):
train dominoes. I'm ready. Not how to play, No, but
you'll teach me in five minutes. Well, what about the
second half? Not gonna watch it.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Let's go. Let's play.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
That's pretty impressive. Let's play. You know it's fun you
gotta reach. It's like Regis, let's play. It's funny because
Eleanor is all about my my, my daughters. For the
unaware and new to the show, thanks for being part
of the extended family, h come on in and stay
awhile Eleanor is only one of your daughters. She's not
as she's one of their daughter theater kids, going to
(27:00):
and nursing, all this fun stuff. But she loves live events, right, So,
no matter what you say, if it's a baseball game,
football game, concert, theater, it's like I'm in. There's energy,
there's excitement. But Madeline, it's soccer and really nothing else
at this point, right, so football isn't a terribly thrilling thing.
(27:21):
It also takes dad away from chunks of days for work,
et cetera.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
And so she was like, what are you watching? I go, oh,
that was pretty funny. She goes why are you laughing?
I go, let me show you this. And at one
point I had explained the concept of a pick six.
She goes, wow, that's pretty impressive ninety nine yards, but.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
This was a hail Mary pixels.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
But that was it, and then I had to explain
that it's like no, no, no, it's the last play,
and she goes, wow.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
They really sucked. Like I'm done.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I saw, I'm just done. I died a little bit inside.
I said, I'm done. I'm done. I'm gonna enjoy the
rest of my black faudust. She enjoyed the hell out
of that, and then she knew I was texting you immediately.
How you doing over there?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Pal?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Now last hour
we talked about We were talking about the Bears win
over the Vikings and the Bears win a game for
the first time in thirty years without scoring a touchdown.
Last time they won a game without a touchdown was
thirty years ago. They beat the Falcons six to nothing
in a game and I challenged Steve de Sager, who's
(28:25):
gonna tell.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Us what's trending coming up right now?
Speaker 1 (28:28):
To find a play by play from that game? The
six to nothing game, Kevin Butler two field goals, accounting
for all of the scoring in that game. Steve, O,
how did you do? And for Butler a fifty yard
of tempt.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Not long enough, Steve, that was ai.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
So you got a missed field goal, you got a
miss fail.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
They had to be a typical Sunday afternoon Pat Summer
Al game.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Here nothing at Soldier Field.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah, that was fourth quarter, I believe. No, Actually, the
closest I got was the actual Sunday highlights. It was
such a bad game. Chris Berman sat it out. He
probably did highlights of every other game that day, but
this was TJ with Robin Roberts. Believer, you found the
primetime highlight of it. Absolutely, and it was such a
bad game. They actually focused, I'm not kidding on this highlight.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
Like the fourth quarter six nothing Bears Harold Alexander an
excellent punt Terry Hoby chooses to let it bounce and
it turns into a seventy four yard punt.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
That that is the highlight of the game, Ladies and
a gentleman. And then she makes a great point here
near the end after the Bears make a defensive stop
to get the win for their beloved coach that picks
up a.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Winning the Bears one thousand game. Bobby Aber left the
game at the three quarters of an elbow injury. I
get this guy. The Bears are the sixteen this season
to win a game without scoring a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Sixteens already that year? This was only Week five had
won a game without scoring a touchdown. The Falcons were
zero to five after this game. No wonder the Cowboys
won the Super Bowl. Jim Harbaugh beats Bobby a Bear
in Chicago six nothing in nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Tonight it was well, let me tell you because you
want a good story, so because you know that was
me working as a paad ESPN in nineteen ninety three,
and I worked there, and I worked on primetime, and
Robin Roberts was on prime Time, and she would always
get three games out of the whole list of games,
(30:39):
whatever it was, and she would always get three of
the worst games on the schedule. Verman would get all
the better and you would see in the Rundown Cowboys
forty nine Ers four minutes, Steelers Raiders three and a
half minutes, and then Rob would get again Saints Falcons
minute thirty. I mean Robin would get there and she
(31:02):
would get the worst game.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
I repeat, the punt was a highlight of a six nothings.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Back and then we did cover a lot of plays
in that two minutes, and that highlight she.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Would have gotten Giants Patriots this weekend. Oh yo, easy
for tonight's game. And I just read and the thing
is being in TV now, in radio for thirty years.
I don't know if there's a nicer person I've ever
met than Robin Roberts. I really don't.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Hey, hey, incredibly, you're not nice, not nice? You're nice?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
What are you?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
I said?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Nice? Wow? Exactly nice? Your applications for glugporters in twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Four minutes you're talking about text arm are the nicest
people in the world. We have an actual highlight from
tonight as the Bears were lining up for the winning
field goal. Here this is how it sound on Vikings Radio.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
White Ash snap spots, Santosis pick is up and he
made it with ten seconds to go in the game.
The Chicago Bears have a twelve to.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Ten league had me going there a cafe and one
hundred point three FM, so Cairo Santos goes four or
five on field goals, including that game winning thirty yarders.
So this from the folks at stat Zinc in the
Super Bowl era. So that's over fifty five years worth
of NFL games. The Bears are the only teams to
win a road game doing all of this in the game,
(32:27):
scoring no touchdowns, losing multiple fumbles, and having at least
seventy five penalty yards. When teams had done all that
in a game before tonight, those road teams were oh
and forty six. But the Chicago Bears come up with
a w twelve to ten at Minnesota, and our former
coworker Andrew Ciciliano points out the Vikings this year have
(32:50):
had two whole games where they're under two hundred and
fifty yards of offense. Both are the games against the Bears.
Josh Dobbs for Minnesota one touchdown, four interceptions.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Tonight, Scott just texted me Steve to dump that the Bears.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Are looking good for the draft since Carolina has won
and ten and the Panthers fired coach Frank right today.
In the late NBA game in La Denver without three
injured players, leading the Clippers ninety two to ninety with
seven minutes to go. Reggie Jackson against the Clippers has
twenty seven points and three homers. I believe in this
(33:23):
one game, but out due to injuries. Nicola Jokic, Aaron Gordon,
and Jamal Murray. Philadelphia ripped the Lakers one, thirty eight
to ninety four.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Glad to you, thanks much. Did it happened? Yes, The
Jason Smith Show is my best friend. Mike Harmon a
nice job finding those highlights. I probably know the person
who cut that highlight for primetime. I probably know.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Those were not your fingers.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I would remember doing that game six and oh my god.
But there was a big hierarchy like production assistance. We
would see who got the best game, because that was
the big thing was if you got to cut a
primetime game, they thought you were a great PA and
it was we would all fight like, oh what game
did you get?
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I got I got Saints Falcons.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Oh dude, they must hate you.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
You'll Oh what you get? Ah I got? I got,
I got forty nine Ers Chiefs, I got Montana there,
So there was always a big fight there. There.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
You have the three clips of the Bobby a Bear turnovers,
so you have the long punt that we heard and
then the fourth down stop at the end, and that's
pretty much your highlights. And then you say this is
not new. Teams win all the time that scoring touchdowns
this year at the NFL. Thank you, Steve.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
Live from the tire rack dot com Studios. We got
a great football story coming your way in about ten minutes.
Because I always love irrational fans. But we've seen a
lot of quarterback change this year in the NFL. Some
because quarterbacks aren't very good, yeah, some because guys got hurt.
We've had fifty guys start again this year. Fifty down
(35:23):
for fifty three a years. It is, it is, and
the Jets still can't find So. After tonight's game where
the Bears beat the Vikings twelve to ten. Yeah, heading
into the bye week, I don't yeh rid Bears are hot, man,
rest them away. Bears are hot. We don't need to
score touch touchdowns are overrated. We just need field goals
and defense. Field goals and defense.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, take some solid senate though, Vikings fans, justin Jefferson
will be back after the bye and yes, this week,
next week, I will not lose.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Bears have a two week non losing streak going already.
I think that's the first in the eber Flus era,
so thirty years. So, after the game was over, Kevin O'Connell,
former intern here head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, was
asked about Josh Dobbs's status. Now, Josh Dobbs has played
really well the first couple of games with the Vikings,
(36:14):
and you know, kind of a stinker tonight, but still,
to be fair, he did throw a touchdown pass that
gave the Vikings the lead right yor winning ten to nine, right,
and the Vikings defense allowed the Bears to get downfield
and score. So no, was it a great game for
Josh Dobbs not. Did he turn the ball over a lot? Yeah,
but the guy had two really good games and you
wouldn't have won the games without him. So you would
think that Josh Dobbs' job security is pretty safe. Well,
(36:39):
let's listen to Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell get that
question following tonight's game.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Look, I think what Josh Dobbs has really done is
coming in here on short notice and really you know,
going you know two and two in a stretch where
you know a lot of people might have thought Kirk
Cousins and Justin Jefferson being out know, the deck stacked
against us. That's not the way this team thinks. That's
not the way we operate. It's not the way I operate.
(37:05):
We're trying to go out and win every football game
we play, and we're going to evaluate what we've been
able to do, things we need to get better at,
and we'll take a look at, you know what that
looks like. Hopefully we'll get Justin back. He was close
tonight and that'll you know, getting him back anytime you
can infuse that into your offense. I mean it makes
everybody around him better. So we'll take a look at everything.
(37:29):
We got a lot of work to do during the bye.
I do want these guys to get some time. It's
been a grind. It's been a stretch for though.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Then they put it. They've continued to show up and
play very, very hard.
Speaker 7 (37:39):
They prepare the right way when they come back off
this buy, we'll make sure we got a great plan
for going to Vegas and whatever that looks like.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
We'll be ready to go.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, so Josh Dobbs is done. Yeah, that's quarter. That
was a lot of words. Because if he has his
back and Josh Dobbs's guy, he just says, no, Josh,
you know Josh and have a great night tonight. But
believer in Josh Dobbs will figure it out. We haven't
been able to finish the last two weeks. But to
go out of your way to say we're gonna look
at everything and this you're not gonna give Really you
(38:10):
really think Nick Mullens.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Is the guy.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
But even before he got to that point, really, as
soon as he started tap dancing off the jump about well,
Josh comes in in this situation.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Una do it. Yeah, you don't need to do all that,
Like as soon as you started that long preamble scrolls
done right at the beginning of a Star Wars movie.
And here I'm setting up the story. So is Josh
Doobbs a guy?
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Well, let me tell you a story.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
So back about fifty years ago, when I was okay,
Josh Dobbs, really, Sean Mannion's better? I mean really, what
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Really?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
What what are you gonna really these guys about it?
These guys, Baby, everything is gonna be all right? Rock
A direct snap to Justin Jefferson. I mean really, No,
Josh Dobbs did not have a big game tonight, and
I understand that. But in the end, Josh Dobbs has
been pretty good. He's been pretty good. He won two
(39:04):
games for you. I don't understand the whole Yeah, now
we gotta go to somebody else, really, the other guy.
If those other guys were good enough, you would have
gone to them. You wouldn't have traded for Josh Dobbs,
you wouldn't have brought him into be your starter. I really,
I don't get that whole rip.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Total of eight touchdowns in his four games right, five passing,
three rushing, and then you have the big four interception
game tonight.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
So obviously that's a glaring red X in your He's
had one bad game, and I get that you were
supposed to be here at home and you lose to
the Bears. It's embarrassing. But who else is gonna give
you only a field goal favorite? It's not like you
were some prohibited home favorite. This wasn't we were a
four touchdown favorite. Were three and a half. I mean
it was not a not a big big point spread.
(39:50):
Yeah if I no home field advantage means nothing, But yeah,
Vikings do this. Watch what happens to their season. Now
suddenly we're gonna go to a guy that we didn't
believe in before, but now we're gonna go to just
because like, what the hell are you doing?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Man?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
With it is that you're getting Justin Jefferson back?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
You don't think that the offense gets a lot easier
even if he's up there just doing calisthenics.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
So for on the left, what wave wave Josh Dobbs
so the Jets can get him and start him next?
You wouldn't pick him up wave Josh Douglas would ignore
him on the whe wave, Josh Dobbs and the Jets
can get him. And now I'll call Joe Douglas and say, Dude, dude,
pick this guy up. Man pick him up. He wouldn't
do it, pick him up. I really I don't the Vike.
I don't understand this. I don't understand. Oh, we're gonna
(40:32):
look at everything, and Josh, where you gonna get mad?
An answer of two minutes could have just said, this
is our guy. Tarkington can't throw the football anymore. Going
into a bye week. Tommy Kramer's not walking through that door,
Warren Moon not walking.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Through that door.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Sean Salisbury is not walking through that door. Wow, suddenly,
Josh Dobbs.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
