That's what it was. The Niles. But I will say this,
if you guys can figure out if somebody wants to
fly to McDonald's, I will buy burgers for everybody for
National Cheeseburger Day. Look at it. Someone wants to go,
I will buy. I will trust them with my credit card.

(03:06):
The only two people in my life I trust my
credit card or my wife and my daughter. And I
can now expand that by one.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
And I'm not going to give it to friendly forget it.
He's not not nuts, no, no, no, he was looking excitedly.
I can't trust him. Think he was looking for some
new gear or something. So here's your burger Jason, and uh,
look at this. I got this. I got this great,
and I got my racket a redund Look at and
I bought a pickleball racket. Also bought a picketball team.

(03:33):
I know you know that. So now me and Lebron
now a ticketball team on your credit card. Here you go. Yeah,
credit cards still smoke it. Uh so, yes, National Cheeseburger Day.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Now.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I say this because this gets us from cheeseburgers to
hot dogs. Because you want to talk about a uh
how do we say this? A special a giveaway that
everybody can get behind that I can clearly get behind.
Oh sure, yeah, of course. You know we're still talking

(04:03):
about the Falcons big win on Monday night, coming back
and beating the Philadelphia Eagles, as the Eagles gave them
the game well on Sunday, or you could say alternatively,
Captain Kirk came and took it. He didn't. I this
is the Eagle said, here it is. I'm serving this
to you on a platter. Here, it is ready for
you to go home. You're all good? All right? He
still had to make those throws for the seventy yards.

(04:25):
You know, Kirk, what do you think you put that game. Yeah,
Kirk Cousins was on your tailor Joy from the menu
where it was, Oh, I'm so full, I'm gonna leave.
Can you wrap this up for me?

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Sure, I'm just gonna kill everybody else here and put
him in marshmallow outfits and make it look like the
end of Smid Summer. But you all, let go go,
Kirk Cousins. Take this cheeseburger, take a bite. You're going
to they go sit on a boat and watch it all.
Let's go. I'm killing everybody here because they've all done
me wrong in my life. That was a great movie.
You're going sorry, I really enjoyed that. Just spoils. But
it was on like every eight minutes everywhere. Now yeah, yeah,

(04:59):
So Falcons owner Arthur Blank wrong than I took the
kids to the theater? Well what was on HBO? He
didn't have to. Falcons owner Arthur Blank will be inducted
into the team's Ring of Honor on Sunday with a
special ceremony led by guest Samuel L. Jackson. You think
he's gonna have a great speech, prepare and you will

(05:21):
know his name is Arthur Blank. When he lays his
vengeance upon the No, that's how he's gonna do. That's
pretty good. I like that. The path of the Righteous
team extends through the Philadelphia Eagles and to the New
Orleans Saints, who are the finder of Lost Children. So

(05:41):
he's gonna be inducted in the Ring of Honor. So Sirianni,
the guy who kind of looked like Seinfeld, No, Syrian
Sirianni is the guy that runs out with the gun
and misses when he shoots. No, No, Frank, Frank Whaeley
at the table, the guy who runs out with a
gun and miss I'm not leaving till you Now, this
is a miracle, said, Okay, it's a miracle. Can we go?
But that that's nick Siria. It's good. Oh man, that sucks.

(06:07):
So Arthur Blake going into the Ring of Honor on Sunday,
all fans attending, we'll get complimentary chips and hot dogs
and and Arthur Blank's souvenir cup. I like the cup.
I mean, here's the thing. I'm gonna buy one of
those cups on email, dude, just so I can have
it here in the studio as much as I love food,

(06:28):
and you're gonna give me free hot dogs and drinks
and chips. I really want that, Arthur. No, we're getting
We're gonna get those cups. I got people I know
down plant. We can make this happen.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
What do you got?

Speaker 1 (06:38):
You have the Dodger game. I got the Kershaw cup. There,
I got the Otani cup. Here's my Arthur blank cup.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Him pushing Michael Vick in a wheelchair? Like, what's the
A good looking suit that he's on in that cup too?
Yeah he looks sharp. You get genuine thing? Is you
get too hot hot dogs and a large commemorative cup.
That's like what I get when I go to get
Like this is this is like has me written all
over now. He has been the champion of the cheaper

(07:04):
food options. It's something he did years ago. And then
they spouted revenue, and I'm like, what's the profit? Like,
I still want to know profit because you gotta now
you got to employ more people, probably more devices, all
the stuff. So I don't know that your call, your
your written profit really jumps a bunch. But it's a
good will effort for what it costs to go to
a stadium. The fact that you're also gonna pay for

(07:26):
parking and the fact that you can't go into that
stadium and get Chick fil A on a Sunday. No, no,
you can't know it's gonna you gotta. But you're you're
you're making a count now with this dogs for it?
I mean, I mean, what what what sized dog? Are
we talking here? You're getting two dogs and one God,
just saying that's what you're getting? You are I had

(07:47):
a bag of chips. You think that's what they're calling
the giveaway? Two dogs, one cup? You think you're getting
that that they're called. I think it's a little dangerous
down that road. If that gets inverted, we got a problem.
Why why I did a search for two dogs? Oh
my god, Oh my goodness. You two dogs escalated quickly.
But for Arthur Blank, I man, gets pretty easy to
induct yourself. Yeah, I'm the owner. I'm going in the

(08:09):
Ring of Honor. I'm like, who decides that. I've decided
it's time. Hey listen, I'm gonna leave the room while
you debate me getting into the Ring of honor. Oh
we're doing that today. Yes, you're gonna debate me getting in,
and then I'll come back in in a few minutes. Okay, great.
Do you think he meant he wants us to vote
him into the Ring of Honor or not. I don't know.

(08:30):
I couldn't read the signals. I think he's talking. Yeah.
And then Arthur Blake walks back in and he goes, yeah,
you know we voted, and uh, yeah, it was seven
six against. I don't know. I've been there since two
thousand and two. Yeah, people want to see you in
a Super Bowl, Arthur. They're sorry, you know, they didn't
didn't you know, they didn't like the way the direction
the franchise went for a while there. People are unsure

(08:52):
with Panix and cousins. So yeah, I'm sorry he didn't
get voted into the Ring of I do dig that
Steve bart Gowski is the first name. I mean, it's
all alphabeticle in the list, but first name in the
Ring of Honor. Who else is in there besides Bartkowski?
We got Deon Sanders, we got Warwick Dune, Willie William Andrews,
Gerald Riggs, Jeff Van Note, Jesse Tuggle, Tommy Nobs. This

(09:14):
is like everybody who played in the eighties, Like they
had Super Bowl teams in the eighties. Ken Claude Humphrey
and Roddy White and then Matt Ryan and then ry.
Matt Ryan's going in this year. He should That's why
he did the appearance with the Mannings. Yeah, okay, so
the Ring of Honor Arthur Blake good, I want that.

(09:36):
So there's your cups. We're gonna get that cup. Someone's
gonna profit off that cup because they're gonna get it
for free. They're gonna drink its contents, but they're gonna
wash it. They're gonna put it on EVA and then
I'm gonna buy it because I'm a sucker. They're gonna wat.
I'm gonna watch it gets here. Why is it so sticky? No,
we we watched, I tell you. So there's your cup story.

(09:56):
Now for your phone story. Okay. Titans quarterback Will Levis
had to change his phone number get a new phone
this week because someone leaked his phone number. And as
he said today me the media and as you can imagine,
I've been getting a lot of messages. You know, second
week in a row, Will Levis has decided, Hey, when
a play is blowing up, I'm gonna make a really

(10:17):
bad decision and it's gonna cost my team the game
did it against the Bears week one, did it against
the Jets a couple of times last week. I think
I think the fans have had it with Will Levis
and his extemporaneous decision making. When you just hold on
to the football, do you think at any point in
is mind you can well, I mean we should sync
it up. It's the Wiggles, Hot Potato Potato. I'm not

(10:41):
to be sacked. I'm going to take a loss here.
You take this, and I would say this for the
first time probably if you if you had, if you
leaked everybody's phone number, all players phone numbers out, and
everybody got them, they would all say this, except for
Will Levis. They would all say the same thing. Seventy
five percent of the people who called wanted to either
say thank you for what you've done for my fantasy team,

(11:04):
or you're not doing enough for my fansity team. Well,
Will Levis, it's all dude, hold onto the football, don't
try to throw it when you're going down, don't turn
the ball over. You cost us the game against the
Jets because he did. They're looking at either a ten
to nothing or a fourteen nothing lead if he just
holds on them they should be two and oh and
instead that's the thing, they should be two and oh

(11:25):
right there ohing to and I told you they were
a good team. I bet that you can't make those
horrible to say you're not good enough to make those
because you've got a bunch of the players in that
locker room, because they've stood up for him and to
a man talking about his arm strength, talking about what
he's able to do with the football and what he
does ninety five percent of the time. There's also no
one else right now, so there is that might be

(11:47):
it might just you know, be to hype the guy up.
But as we're starting to see more and more guys,
Kerry Collins is not walking through that door. Not happening.
Look at you, not happening. Kerry Klein not walking through
that door. Could they bring tam I hope Dan Pastorini
is not walking through that door. Now We're going back
to the Houston Oilers, because I did Houston. I traveled

(12:08):
with this, We traveled with the travel Yeah, Levis. Though
one thing he did say also that is the honesty,
but certainly got some tongues wagging, was saying he was
thinking of going to see a sports psychologist for what
he's gotten off of these phone texts the last couple
of weeks that you know it did affect him other
than changing is his number. That he did try to

(12:29):
laugh it off, But I mean, I can only imagine
what some of those messages would actually be, and it
would have been kind of entertaining if he'd gone through
and done a dramatic reading or borrowed Samuel L. Jackson
from the Falcons. I can imagine what it would be
if he actually went to see a psychiatrist. So I
get in these text messages because of what I did
during the game on Sunday and out of how to

(12:51):
deal with them. Can you help me? Yes? I could. Well,
first of all, how do you feel? Well? I feel
like I let my team down a little bit. I
feel like, you know, I need to make better decisions.
I feel all these things because that's how I feel.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
Because how the hell are you trying to get the
battle of running back when the Jets are sacking you.
I'm watching the game like everybody else on Sunday, and
I gotta watch that.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Oh, by the way, I watch you give a bottle
the Bears a week before.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
Is this helping I just want to know, is this
helping you? You sit on that couch and you listen
to me. Now I'll pay you to listen to me
talk about the Titans.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Wow, you've been waiting on least. I felt you feel better.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
I know.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
I felt this was healthy. I felt this is good.
We're having an exchange of ideas. This is perfect, this
is great. I feel like there's a sitcom to be
written there, but the therapist that really it's all about
helping them. Yes, And it's a series of let's clients
hatials that are coming in. It's kind of like shrinking

(13:47):
a little bit, a little bit, but not not so
much with the over the top. I'm in it for me, yeah,
I mean, like like Jason Siegel is a good guy
trying to figure life out. This would be more like
a like a Dabney Coleman or someone as well. I guess,
and I'm in it, you know, obviously not Dabney Coleman,
but a guy like that. Why not. Coleman is no
longer with us, but he was the first guy thought

(14:09):
of what I thought, who could be a great guy
that I've watched on TV. There's a actor about himself
who's bringing up I thought about great characters, a great
bad guy characters. A Dabney Coleman was awesome and legend.
There's no question she'd be great in that in that
role now, I mean he'd be fantastic that. Yeah, So
we need as a younger, we need a new Dabney
Coleman is what we need to be that and and

(14:29):
so I think that could be a show, but it
would have to be a comedy over the time. I
don't know. If it's not four we're walking the tight Yeah,
but it's not a network show. It's it's gotta be show. Yeah,
it's gotta be something a little bit of edge to it. Yeah, yeah, yea, yeah,
it's gonna be. No, there's no question about we can
make that happen. U U c l A Dodger. Frank

(14:49):
never wanted to leave his stone unturned. Give us gives
us a Berman and TJ. While every Falcons fan gets
a cup on Sunday Rams, fans will not have their
cup runneth or or forward or sideways. T J. Oh boy,
I like that. I like that. I like that. For

(15:12):
the first time I was ever thinking Berman. You know
what I was thinking of. I was thinking match game.
Oh okay, I'm thinking of match game ready. Here's match
game ready. Arthur had a bad day. Now what do
you say? What was wrong with Arthur saying? How bad?
Bad was it? Arthur Blank had such a bad day
he's thinking of changing his name to Arthur Blank. It's good.

(15:40):

We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get and that's why we have a brand
new podcast called over Promised. You see, we're having so
much fun in our two hour show. We never get

we never have time for.

We're gonna be talking sports, of course, but we're also

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
live from the tire Act dot Com studios. We get
set to kickoff Week three in the NFL tomorrow night,
Jets and the Patriots. No better way to do it
than with a very good guest who joins us every
week on the show. He's a longtime NFL insider. You
can check him out on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two.

(19:18):
And it's great that we're having Jason Cole on tonight
because today the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced one
hundred and sixty seven modern era candidates for the class
on Wednesday, including sixteen new players. Oh yes, Jason Cole
is a Pro Football Hall of Fame slash Hall of

(19:39):
very Good voter, probably responsible for half of these one
hundred and sixty seven very good players who have been
nominated for the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Jordan Loves How easy?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
What's happening to Jay Cole? How you doing.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
It?

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Is beautiful? We no point what I couldn't get better
unless I were twins.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh okay, So tell me on this list of one
hundred and sixty seven players, who's number one and who's
number one sixty seven on your list?

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Oh my god, all cowboys are tied for lap.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
No good, good job, there you go.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Okay, all all of them. Luke Keithley number one.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
No, cal very good, now about it? So not so
not Bryce Young but Luke no, no.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Okay, that's not very good. That's great. That's Hall of
Fame worthy. Luke Keithley not very good. Okay, all right,
great Hall of Fame worthy.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Luke keith found you found one hundred and sixty seven
guys that are so great they're all Hall of famers.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
No, that's great, they're not all hall that's not out
this word.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Sound one hundred and sixty seven guys.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Stop doing that to the process. They get whittled down
from one hundred sixty seven to twenty five, and they
get mirrored down again to fifteen. So less than ten
percent of these guys are actually going to get into
the room to even be discussed. And then there's going
to be a chance at anywhere from say three to
five of them will actually make it. So distortion, let's stop.

(21:20):
That's right now.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm going to get a three D printer to whittle
out little wood carvings of all one hundred and sixty
seven guys, and then they all, as we you know,
whittle down the list, they get thrown in the fire.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
That's terrible. That's terrible.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
I'm looking at some of the one hundred and sixty
seven people, David Boston, Keith Krepsley, Hang on, let me
get a couple of the names here.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Really, okay, what are you say?

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (21:48):
I did not deserve this for me, especially from you,
like who felt sorry for the Houston Astros those cheating whatever.
I don't want to get damned again, like I don't
want to get I don't want to get cut off
again the last time. But yeah, you were like cheering
for cheeters.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
No, no, it was it's all Metro. Now. Well, look
the way the Padres game ended last night, with that,
I know, so horrendous.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Guy.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
I mean, I don't know how you make those calls
to still keep your job as an umpire. I guess
I felt weird. I'm like, I feel bad for the Astros.
What does that say about me?

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, you're worthless and weak number one?

Speaker 1 (22:26):
So you told me on Twitter I'm worthless in week
I know, and I meant it, And that was a
very good That was a very good response, by the way,
that's a very hall of fame. That's very good.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
And so yeah, I think the ghost of Angel Hernandez
took over the Empire's losses. I think what happened and
then And that's funny because Angels not even dead and
she's supposed to be a very nice ma'am. So I
feel bad about saying that, but yeah, like all of
a sudden his present seance at home Plate and Angel
showed up.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
What happened multiple times? A right?

Speaker 3 (22:57):
He did? Question? Is I have an important question?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:00):
So when the Indianapolis Colts play the Chicago Bears, this
is the harmon question, and they play what is I
you know for basically the I sixty five Trophy, which
is I guess what which would award in this thing.
It feels sort of like a college game, like Wisconsin
playing against whoever their rival is, and that there should

(23:23):
be some trophy. Is the trophy like the loser gets
Gary Indiana? Is that what happens in this one?

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Well, that's that's not a bad uh. It's the birthplace
of Ron Kittle.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Well, yeah, and Gary and Gary Pettis from there too.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Pettis and the Jackson's and there's a lot of Scots.
The song from the music man Gary Indiana, Gary Indian.
So we got that going for us too. Down to
this see what you did? You got him singing it.
It's your fault. Colts are a one point favorite over
under at forty three and a half. That seems kind
of high. That's really high.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Forty three and a half.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Is that the Bear that's the Bears, Bears Colts?

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah, there's both number.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
That's the number that's that's the number of sacks on
Caleb Williams. How about three and a half. How many
points are the Bears defense?

Speaker 3 (24:08):
What's the over under? What's the over under on the completion?
The completion percentage between Anthony Richardson and Caleb Williams.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Four who I'll have to go look at four percent.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, well, I'm going to say not more than fifty
four is a good number for that. And like that's
that's an ugly battle between two guys who really need
to learn how to play at this level. I really
do think Caleb Williams is going to be fine. So
I just think he's learning. Oh oh, defensive players actually

(24:41):
exist in this league. I thought I thought this was
a lot like the PAC twelve, you know that, where
defense has just disappeared like the rest of the conference.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
See. I keep telling Harmon the same thing. The Bears
are going to be fine. The defense is fantastic, you
have playmakers. If he's kind of on the Jordan Love
type curve get by the middle of the season, he's
going to be really good. Harmy doesn't believe you, or
he doesn't want to believe me.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Well, I mean, if if you had lived Harmon's life
as a Bears fan, you wouldn't think, you know, you
would never think you had nice things either, especially at
the quarterback position. I mean the man point watched Jay
Cuttler and whatever collection of guys Dave wants that put
under center all those years, you know, like Rick myer

(25:23):
was in here there for a little while or something
like that. I mean, I just like, no.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Matter what, the word bears comes up and your brain
defaults to wantston.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Ja.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
No, no, no, a lot of things is true.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
That No, no, that's absolutely one thousand percent true. That
I just default to ragging on once at any chance,
I guess that is absolutely one thousand percent true. Do
you think I sell the old money?

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Do you think I could sell shirts that say all
the pieces are in place?

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yes? Absolutely? Yes? Oh my god, what a knuckle ahead. Anyways,
moving on long, what else did you do? Where else
were you going toeth? What were you doing?

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Well, as we were talking about Bryce Young in the beginning,
and you know here every getting benched after two weeks,
they said today they're not going to trade him. At
some point he's getting back out there this year, right,
Like I know the Panthers are not run great, but
at some point they know they're going to put him
back out there after a research just to make sure
he's really not great.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
You know, I'm over the eighty thousand years I've watched football. Actually, yeah,
there's a lot of football we're now on. You're thirty
three of me doing this. There's always been this thing
about when guys look small in the pocket, it's a

(26:46):
real danger sign to me, like they're hunched over. They
don't know, you know, they don't look comfortable. I remember
watching Keith Schuler, who was like six foot four or
something like that, and he looked like he was five eleven.
When I watch Young, and I know he's not very big.
He's from five to nine, five ten, maybe five to eleven.
He looks like he's five to six. He looks or

(27:08):
five to five. He looks like he's shrinking every single
time I see him. And not only is he short,
but he looks physically tiny. I don't know that he
knows how to attack downfield right now. I don't think
he can see downfield unless he's outside the pocket. And
when he's outside the pocket and trying to make him play,

(27:30):
the speed of the game accelerates so much. He's not
ready for it. So, yeah, do I think ultimately Bryce
Young is going to get back out on the field. Yeah,
But I don't think he. I don't think he has
any sense of what you have to do. You have
to attack downfield as a passer like they have less
than what was under two minutes to go in the

(27:52):
first half, and they just kind of get in positioned
to get trying to get a fieldal or something like that.
He threw underneath the defense on three straight plays. It
was like check down, check down, and then check down,
and it's like, dude, that doesn't get it done. That
didn't get it done when you were at Modern Day.
I didn't get it done at Alabama. Why do you

(28:14):
think that that's going to work here? And even the fans,
they're flashing into the the fans of the stands and
they're standing there going, dude, throw it downfield. I mean,
he just can't do it. So I'm coming quickly to
the conclusion that unless something seriously changes, he's done. And

(28:35):
like I mean by that, I mean completely done. It's
completely I mean, I'll bop around the league for a
few years and people try and see if they can
get something out of them, but I just think he's
in over his head physically right now.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Well, it's good to see temper on these sidelines. I practice,
that's going to help a lot of stuff. Let's stay
in division, though, What what the hell's going on in
New Orleans what's in the water.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
It's amazing thing when you decide to like move players
before the snap and help your quarterbacks figure out what
the defense is doing. It's a shocking thing because like
they went from the least amount of pre snap movement
a year ago, they bring in Clinton Koback and they
now have the most pre snap movement in the league

(29:20):
because they're doing what Shanny in and all the Shanahan
disciples are doing and saying, here, let's move guys around
so that our quarterback will get keys. Right. So Derek Carr,
who's a very good quarterback there Ego Smiths is a
very good player. That was for you specifically, he's a
very good player. He actually can play better than the

(29:43):
normal and better than last year because he's getting information
before the snap. It's an amazing thing that you do
for quarterbacks. And like Mike McCarthy took years and years
and years to figure this out, and he started doing
it more when he got Dallas, but he was really
resistant to it. He's changed and could you imagine what

(30:04):
would have happened if they had given more movement in
the offense to Aaron Rodgers, who already knows more than
you know nine percent of it all the guys who
have ever played the position, if you've made it just
easier for that guy to figure out how to play. So, like,
the Saints are doing a really nice job. They've got
solid offensive line and really good weapons. I mean, those

(30:26):
wide receivers are terrific. A lobby, it's just I mean,
he's he's the man like that. I just I love
what they've got. And now they're allowing the quarterback to
play up instead of play down.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
So you say all that about the Saints, and I
just counted with I think the Cowboys might just think.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
The Cowboys the cowboys. It just proves more and more
of what I always say, as soon as they start
to look good, as soon as you buy into the
BS type, oh we just we just destroyed Cleveland on
the road, and then they and they just get punched
in the mouth. They just absolutely get punched in the mouth.

(31:10):
Because like I'm sure Jerry was, like, you know, doing
the itinerary for the Super Bowl before the last game, right,
trying to figure out, oh, well, we're gonna have the parade,
we're gonna leave, We're gonna leave like ten days and
we've got to make sure that we have the cowboyd
bus on site when I get there, because you know,
we got rolled through town with the COWBOYD bus.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Now I'm gonna do a night from the bus.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
We got big parties to get to, We got a
lot of stuff and so, you know, and then he's gonna,
you know, think about how do you how do you
bring the bees to the super Bowl? Like where do
the bees go? You know, where do you put all
the hives? You know, did they go on the bus?
Did they go on the top of the bus. And
so do the bees like roll through town on the
cowboy bus so that they can party with with Jerry

(32:00):
and the rest of the family. Like these are the
important things that Jerry was thinking about before Game two
of the season, right like that, That's how that went.
And then they get punched them out and I'm thinking
that they probably believe that they can roll past Baltimore.
I think Baltimore is going to kind of just hammer
them because Baltimore is not what they like. And I

(32:24):
know Baltimore's offensive line is tragically bad right now, but
their defense, I think is going to be really angry
and want to punish some people and offensively the Cowboys
don't really move anybody. They're not physical on offense.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is
at Jason Cole sixty two. Jake Cole is always bunny.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
All Cowboys left, All Cowboys rank left.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
He's got them all one through one sixty seven. It's
his own version of the NCAA tournament.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Jake Cole.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Take it easy, Bundy. We'll talk to you later about it.
That was some very good analysis. That was good under
one sixty seven. I know it likes the Saints. Let's
get a very good update on what's going on in
the wide world sports. Looky, Brian Finley.

Speaker 7 (33:12):
B what do you got from one sixty seven Mike
Carmen's White Sox with one seventeen? Is that the amount
of losses they have now just saved to say that
they have been eliminated. We we're looking at Major League Baseball,
and yeah, eliminated from the postseason. The White Sox losing
today and they did it in thirteen innings to the Angels,
and it's thirty six to or thirty six wins, one

(33:33):
hundred and seventeen losses. That is fifty two games back
first place. Cleveland Guardians. By the way, that would be
in the AL Central. But speaking of the NL Central,
it is all locked up for the Milwaukee Brewers, and
they did it without having to know whether or not
they'd win their game today because before they started their
game they ended up winning against the Phillies. But it

(33:54):
was the Cubs, they're nemesis in the division, losing to
the Oakland a'san other team that is not going to
be post season bound. But five to three wins for
the A's over the Cubs, Mariners, and Yankees. That's the
only game that's up and running right now. The Yankees
are in front, one and nothing in the seventh inning. Yanks,
of course leading the way in the AL East. They

(34:15):
have a four and a half game lead for first
over the Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore losing five to three at
the hands of the Giants, the Braves over the Red
seven to one. The Padres got some big hitting from
Manny Machado.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Three and two to Machado.

Speaker 6 (34:31):
Manny swings hitting in the air to left field in
deep Albarez is.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Back, He's looking up. It's gonna go. Anything you can do,
I can do better. But Chado with his second.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Of the day.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
He and Fernando go back to back.

Speaker 7 (34:46):
That would be Padres or Radio Network in four to
nothing is the final there, and yeah, many Machado had
two home runs. By the way, in the game. The
Padres first in the NL Wildcard race. They have a
two and a half game lead for first in that
with a tyer second with Mike Carmon's well, not Mike Carmons,
it would be Jason Smiths Mets.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
They're there along with the Diamondback.

Speaker 7 (35:07):
Speaking of the Mets, ten and nothing over the Nationals,
Mets getting the win there with eleven hits. And then lastly, guys,
let's not forget about those Detroit Tigers four to two
over the Royals. That was a sweep against Kansas City
and the Tigers are just a half game out of
that third and final wild cart spot in the AL.
And Jason, I know that if your Mets, in some way,

(35:29):
shape or form do not make the postseason, because you
know they're known to fade at the end of seasons,
maybe you're going to be a Tigers fan because I
know you have family roots in the Detroit That.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Is my second team. I mean about the city of Detroit.
My second teams are all Detroit teams. Yeah, that is
how it goes. Yeah, I'll be on the Tigers bandwagon. Sure,
why not? Dirt bag Mets Tigers World Series? Get ready?
Get a family divided and then you can't go home
for Christmas. Well, it depends depends how the it depends

(36:00):
how the World Series goes. Either way, you'll have been
on air for hours at a time shouting angry things
at the Detroit people. No, no, no, no, no, no,
I would I would hide that under under other things.
I have to go there, have to play, be that
after people have to But I'm here four hours a
night to go you wan to say such things. I
gotta be able to go to playing you with cheeseburgers.

(36:22):
I gotta be able to go to Detroit. There's nowhere else.
I'm gonna get frozen cushed in White Castle people. It's
still good. I think we could probably pull that off.
But come on now, coming up next, Mike and I
give you our picks for Thursday night football. What's a
name that everybody's gonna be talking about after Tomorrow night.
We'll tell you. We'll tell you next right here, Chasing

(36:42):
and Mike Fox Sports Radio. Cleveland is not playing Alex Tyscher.
Are you sure they're not playing No? Maybe somewhere, yeah,
but not tomorrow night. I know that there's multiple dimensions
out there, right there are an Earth ten thousand and
five where Wolverine came from. Cleveland is playing m Yeah,
they're playing Toronto. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon live from the
tiraq dot Com Studios. Our NFL string continues more NFL
topics to talk about continuing on here Tomorrow Night. Jets
and the Patriots Thursday Night Football, and much like every Thursday,
the game's not gonna be great. You just gotta hope

(37:34):
it's gonna be close. Thirty eight and a half is
your total. I think that's a little generous. Jets favored
by six and a half. I'll say this first, in
picking this game, I'll tell you exactly where things gonna go.
I'll take the under, You'll sweat it, and I'm gonna
sweat it. But I'm gonna sweat the under. I feel
like I had what seventeen game? Yeah, it's it's got
that kind of feel you're gonna sweat. I'm telling you're

(37:56):
gonna sweat the under. But I really can't see this
being Is it really gonna be twenty seven to twenty four?
Is really I can't see it. It's really difficult. It's
not certainly gonna open up right. New England doesn't have
the explosiveness, even though we got, you know, a touchdown
catch from Polk and we love what Ramadre Stevenson's been.
Jacoby Brissett there were a lot of jokes about his
speed and athleticism. I'll let you go read those on

(38:17):
the internet. That was fun. But there's the idea of
that offense suddenly exploiting. No, but can they hold your
Jets from giving up big explosive plays. Yeah, that's something
they can do. I'm gonna go Jets twenty to thirteen.
And it's really hard for me to see the Patriots
doing anything offensively. This is not the Bill Belichick Patriots,

(38:40):
where no matter what the Jets have planned, the Patriots
are onto something else and they keep them off balanced.
There's no dynamic aspect to that offense at all. And
it's a great time for the Jets as they're banged up,
you know, still losing Jermaine Johnson last week. Still hey
Will McDonald has three sacks, So okay, let's keep it going.
I can't see there being any way in which the

(39:00):
Patriots do what they want to do offensively. The Jets
are gonna keep them down. And here's where Tomorrow's gonna turn.
And this is the name everybody's gonna know after tomorrow night.
Aaron Rodgers will play fine, right, Aaron Rodgers will play fine.
But he's still you can tell he's still getting back
into shape. He still was a little skinnish at times
during the game the first couple of weeks. I don't
know if he can throw deep. And you know, the Patriots,

(39:22):
that's one thing they're how do we how do we
mitigate what Aaron Rodgers can do? But Tomorrow Night's gonna
be a game where it's gonna be Breece Hall and
Braylan Allen, and everybody's gonna learn about Braylan Allen. This
is a kid who's built. He looks like the next
Derrick Henry if they didn't learn last week. He's the
youngest player in the league and he is absolute thunder

(39:44):
to what Breece Hall brings, and and and this is
how the Jets are gonna win a lot of games
this year because they have two incredibly talented runners.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Look, Brees Hall is one of the top three four
running backs in the game, but Braylan Allen is coming.
They have really found something in this kid. He runs
hard and they already trust him. Two touchdowns last week.
Everybody's gonna know his name after this week because you
play it. Look, you play Thursday night in front of
the whole world. People get it. You had a big
week last couple of touchdowns, but still everybody's gonna know
who he is. To Marrow six one, two thirty five

(40:12):
out of Wisconsin. So running behind the big boys for
years but creates a bit of chaos getting into the
open field. I don't know a lot of cornerbacks that
want to meet that at full speed. Certainly as he
hits the edge, keep for defensive integrity, right, you're as
we talk about the lane integrity with Aaron Rodgers not

(40:32):
being able to move latterly as you're accustomed to changes
up their offensive scheme. But yeah, I mean that that's
really where if they're gonna make Hey, it's gonna come
in the run game. I'm looking for Joey Slide to
take him down. Look at you, he actually hits a
field goal beyond forty yards. He's o for one this year,

(40:53):
one of the few guys that doesn't have a fifty
yard attempt at this point. It's a grind out game,
that is grind now game. But that's thing, like, I'll
take the plus six and a half that much. I'll
it's a lot. It's a lot, But I can't see
the like I said twenty thirteen, twenty one thirteen contest,
Oh no, no, don't tell me that. I just I
really I can't see the Patriots putting that, putting those

(41:15):
type of points on the board. Not in a Thursday
night game, Jets home opener. Yeah, not happening. Not happening.
So there's our picture you Jets and the Patriots coming
up next. Two big NFL stars have big regrets over
what happened Week two. What are they sell your next?
Right here? Jason and Mike Fox
