You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Greetings and welcome inside what could be turning into the
greatest night of the year in professional sports.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I mean, I don't know else to say.

Fourth quarter now and it looks like we may be
(00:56):
getting the NFL debut of one dre May. The Jets
lead the Patriots twenty four to three. They have been
absolutely dominant the entire game. Jets will be punting. There's
about five minutes left. Rogers just miss Garrett Wilson on
an en route so the Patriots will get the football.
The Jets are winning this game, but I think we're
(01:18):
gonna get Drake May. It looks like he was loosening
up on the sideline and we're gonna see him come
in here to play the last few minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I don't know that I.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Would do this right way the Jets are playing, but
it looks like the Patriots are saying we're gonna make
it happen.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I'm just raising my hand right now ahead of him
walking onto the field because here he comes. As you
and I are live here in the tirerac dot Com studios, Jason,
the way the Jets pressure has gotten to Brisset all night.
Unless he's broken and can't come back in, you've already
let him get bludgeoned for fifty five plus minutes.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
It has been a blood bath because they've been in
the backfield. He has been hit every time he's going
back to throw. He's twelve of eighteen ninety eight yards.
He's been sacked five times. Uh, this is a pressure count,
that's I mean, But for the dropbacks it would be higher.
From a percentage level, it's gonna be higher than what
Caleb Williams said against Houston last week. I if the
(02:12):
whole idea was we're protecting him from getting bludgeoned Drake
May that is bringing him in now doesn't make any sense.
By the way, you mentioned the Aaron Rodgers miss.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
On that end route.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Anybody that bet the three hundred yard game plus seven
fifty that was it because he's at two eighty one. Yeah,
that slide down get touched. That was about twenty two
yards ish, Yep, there you go. You would have gotten
your over right there.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Look, because the next time the Jets get the ball,
they're gonna run it. They're gonna run.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
He may not even be out there, and no he
might not. He might not. But that was that was
really close. That was real.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, no, just missed it. Nice, nice sliding attempt on
the ball. But yeah, for your Jets, I mean this
has been an absolute I mean you've been kind of
uh quiet because after the first quarter.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I think we knew what we were we were into here.
I don't think I deserved nice thing. Look at what
I'm getting tonight. I got the Mets beat the crap
out of the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
It's so great.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Oh, they're playing Candelita again and the Jets to show
up and just steamroll the Patrons.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
We beat him twice in a row after losing them
fifteen streat times. I don't deserve this. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
It's you literally had the eight seconds after the zerline
miss field goal and the ensuing possession that gave you
the hail Mary at the half where it had the
distance it got popped up. Fortunately it was all just
gangreen there at the bottom of the pile as the
ball fell harmlessly incomplete. But other than that, there had
(03:38):
been no stressful minutes for you in this game.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
At look, Aaron Rodgers are going to finish this game
for the Jets with a quarterback rating up near one
to twenty twenty seven out of thirty five to eighty
one and two touchdowns. He has looked every bit of
the part of why the Jets got him a year ago.
He is maneuvering around in the pocket. He is escaping
(04:01):
to make plays happen. He is finding the open receiver.
He is buying time. He has spread the ball around
tonight a lot. You have won two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight players with at least two catches tonight, Whether it's
his primary receiver, secondary receiver, whether he's throwing the ball
in the back shoulder fade, whether he's thrown it over
the middle, whether he's finding Tyler Conklin or Jeremy Ruckert.
(04:25):
This has been Aaron Rodgers showing you that, hey, I'm
still great, I am still an elite quarterback and all
of you can stick it.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
So what I would like to do well? The throwing
is one thing. I want to go to. The mobility, Yeah,
that's the bigger thing.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Look, I wasn't afraid of him being able to put
the ball on a guy's hands.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
That was not the concern.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
The bigger thing was could New England devise enough defensively
to make him work off the spot And what would
that look like? Because the first two weeks, you gotta
admit it didn't look good right going latterly, there were
a lot of concerns about, all, right, is he still
getting through how much was in his head versus what
was still going on with his body. Tonight he's not
only scrambled a couple of times for big positive yardage,
(05:05):
but he slid sidelined the sideline to create open passing
lanes with absolute ease. Over the course of the night.
And to me, that's the thing I take away from it,
even bigger than the passing acumen, like because I know
he can stick it on a guy's hands. It was
the legs and now I feel that much more, much
(05:26):
to my chagrin.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Pullish about your Jets.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And what do we say just a couple moments ago, Well,
because we got to talk about what just happened before
we get back into Rogers. I don't know that I
would put Drake May out there the way the Jets
are getting after the quarterback Surewood just tattooed May, who
was trying to run for a first down back first
into the ground. I don't know I would put him
(05:50):
out there for this. I don't know what they're thinking,
We're gonna come and put a guy out I don't
get it.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
By the look out of his face about set as
he got off the ground, Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Oh wow, the NFL all these guys at heart.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Well, because he had he had a guy hanging on
to his leg and he kind of was trying to
spin away and he spun right into a defender who
rode Warrior tackled him full shoulder straight to the to
the turf.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
But now I want to go back. I want to
go back a few months, a few months. I want
to go back to all the thoughts and all the
Scooby Do, Scooby Do, Scooby Doo. I want to go
back to all the thoughts and all the people. It
said Aaron Rodgers. I don't know that he loves football enough.
Aaron Rodgers. I don't know what kind of leader he is.
(06:31):
There's reports maybe he's not getting along with the guys
in the locker room. Aaron Rodgers is probably not elite anymore.
I don't know if he's going to be the same guy.
You can't ask him to be the same guy. He
may not be good. He may just be a jag.
Aaron Rodgers is too weird, he's too cut up with
other things, and he's not going to wind up being
good for the Jets this year.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Well, all those things may still be true.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I want to go back and have all those conversations,
because what we have seen is a three game ascent
in eleven days, okay, eleven days. We have seen Aaron
Rodgers go from hey did some really good things against
the forty nine ers, And maybe I feel encouraged to Hey,
this is Aaron Rodgers of two years ago. The way
he is putting the ball everywhere he needs to against
(07:14):
the Patriots, the way he's finding the receivers, the way
he's completing the vast majority of his passes, the way
they're pushing the ball downfield. Let's talk about that, because
that's the Aaron Rodgers we're getting now that all that
other crap that was all thrown out there, just Hey,
I don't know what else to say about Aaron Rodgers
because of X, Y and Z.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Maybe he's not good, maybe he doesn't love football. I
think we're seeing what I've said all along, that the
Jets are driven by Aaron Rodgers. And to go back,
and you really want to know why you should have
listened is because what did I tell you when we
got to that point in the in the in the
off season where Rogers skipped the last two days of
(07:55):
mini camp to go to Egypt, right the trip that
he had booked. It was a whole thing. How does
he not how does he go? How does he not stay?
This is being a bad teammate. Forget the fact that
he was there for the last twenty one days of
offseason activities.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It's a bad look. But what did I tell you? Then?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Hey, Aaron Rodgers ain't doing this if he thinks he's
gonna suck this year, Okay, Aaron Rodgers is the last
thing he's going to do is ruin his football reputation
and and go gentle into that good night. He's not
He wants to keep playing Aaron Rodgers. He wants to
hoist up the Lombardi Trophy with the Jets and say
I'm ready for another year. Give me sixty million dollars.
(08:32):
I'm coming back, give me another sixty million. Aaron Rodgers
has hit a point in the last three years where
he is he is the big quarterback superstar in all
of football. Whatever he does makes news. He's not going
to put it risk anything. If he thinks I'm going
to be bad this year. Most of stuffball no no,
But this was no.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But I clear the coach at that point, and I
knew that well against Salah, But I knew then Roger's
going to be just fine. Everybody's worried about nothing because
he's not going to risk Hey, here's a bit, because
if he has a bad year, he's done in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
He's done.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
The Jets move on, Jordan Travis is the quarterback next year,
and Aaron Rodgers is walking away and he's on television
doing crazy interviews, are hosting a podcast.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
So that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
He's not going to do that and go to Egypt
and risk the fall out in the bad optics that
he knows is coming, unless he knows I still got it.
I may need a game or so to get ready,
but I can still sling it, and I know the
throws I can make. And in eleven days he has
gone from hey, all right, showed some really good signs
to wow, this looks like he did with the Packers
(09:42):
two years ago. That's how good he looks like. That's
what he's doing to a pretty decent defense.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Whatever you want to.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Say about the Patriot's offense, which is awful, starting over,
Patriot's defense is pretty good, all right. You had you
had a Bengals offense that couldn't do anything Week one
against them, right, you had a tight game against the Seahawks,
this pagam Patriots.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Look, the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Defense is pretty good, right, and this is what Rogers
is doing to them at every single snap tonight, getting
the ball, pushing it downfield.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
He's the guy. He's it.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
He is what he was a couple or the closest
thing he is to what he is two years ago. Now,
you're never gonna be that same guy coming off an injury,
being forty. But is he damn close to it? Absolutely So.
I want to go back to all those two weird
not elite, not a leader doesn't love football conversations. I
want to have all those now because you realize all
those were just a bunch of crap.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Oh, but in the absence of actual football on the field,
you fill the void. And when a guy has set
himself up as a fairly easy target, we had to
add conversations on the show, where there are a lot
of times I didn't really feel like having the conversation. Yeah,
he's gonna be weird, he's gonna go on podcasts, he's
gonna spout off some nonsense. I don't really care. But
(10:53):
on the grander scale, yeah, it opens the door. And
some folks felt very passionately about what he had to
say and what he was doing. At times, I know
it vexed the hell out of you as he was
waiting to take his spot back on the field. But
once he's actually out there again, I wasn't worried about
his head football wise, or his arm, Like there was
(11:16):
nothing wrong with his arm. It's all about can he
move in the pot? Because what made Aaron Rodgers great? Yeah,
the precision throws, but the ability to move latterly find
an open man and put it on him twenty yards
downfield that you saw tonight, and so we have to
now have proof of concept that that part of his
game has been restored. Look, he's still gonna say some
(11:38):
crazy stuff, or maybe he doesn't, maybe because he's going
back to being elite quarterback Aaron Rodgers, maybe he doesn't
feel the.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Need to share.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I'm sorry, so busy now, guy stuff, I got some
winning football football.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I had no time for you.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
But we'll see, right, he'll start doing his weekly appearances
and whatever else. I haven't seen anything the last few
weeks out of him really other than just talking about
how great it is to be back on the field
and certainly like the game's the better for it, because
quarterbacking as a whole sucks right now. I mean, let's
call it what it is like when guys go, I
wouldn't put you any more quarters quarterbacks above this guy
(12:16):
or that guy. I'm like, it's a pretty low bar, right,
maybe people making the giant cases after Jalen hurts his
game on Monday night or whatever. I'm like, you're not
going too deep to where you're like, yeah, I'd trade
that guy out in a second.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So, you know, saying he's above.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
That line whatever it is you're calling it the Trevor
Lawrence line or whatever that is, I mean, it's not
very deep. We've watched field goal kicking become the pre
eminent scoring opportunities of the first couple of weeks. Quarterback,
he's in a bad spot. So when we can get
special play, yeah, damn right, you're gonna observe it, and
you're gonna appreciate it. Because what he did tonight was
(12:52):
surgeon Like.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The the next twenty four hours is gonna be so
awesome of people having to walk back, Oh, he really
surprised me. That's gonna be such if they actually.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
We very rarely tell we very very rarely get actual
apologies about being wrong on any kind of decision making,
you know that, and hot take nonsense. It usually goes
into the kind of ether, except for if it comes
back up for clicks, that's still good for business.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Right it is a final at Jet Life Stadium. The
Jets thump the Patriots twenty four to three. Aaron Rodgers
the Night of nights. We hear from him coming up
right for that signage.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Man, they're not paying me anything. I can call it
Jet Life if I want to Jet Live jet Live.
Speaker 1 (13:40):

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Now in the hot line? Nobody better NFL? On Fox
Insider extraordinary. He's on Twitter at Jay Glazer. That is
Jay Glazer? What's happening, Bud?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
How are you doing great?
Speaker 9 (15:46):
Man? How are you guys doing great?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Are you doing better than Aaron Rodgers right now? He's
doing pretty well?
Speaker 9 (15:51):
Jay, Well, Aaron's doing great. But we have different jobs,
so you know, no one's fun to tackle me. But
I was, I had a pretty damn good day. See
you go look at my Instagram.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I was. I was doing all my Scooper's cults.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
That I was working really hard, but I was doing
it while I was at the beach in Malibu. So
I think, and I had that Rosie and her sister
Renee with me. I think Schefter and I do our
jobs a little different.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I think Jay Glazer wins. Yeah, I think so. I mean,
I mean, this is a pretty good day for Aaron Roger.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
So like Jay, in the middle of a rep, like
if you're doing a big rep, in your phone rings.
Do you stop the rep or do you finish the rep?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Like, what happens?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
What do you mean the rep?
Speaker 9 (16:28):
I'm playing out at the beach for my wife and
what we talked?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh no, I mean like I pulled it up for him. Oh,
I was looking at it when you were working out
at Muscle Beach. I thought that was you know, he
was trying to get you back on Venice Beach.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Yeah, the Muscle Beaches it for the first time.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
So yeah, my wife seats trainer all the time. She goes,
you gotta go, obviously, owner unbreakable. I just always went
to my gym all the time. But she convinced me
to go there.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Man, what a what a cool place.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
Man. It was like it was unbelievable. It's like I
was a little kid going there. And I actually texted
some of my friends who've been there for a long time,
and Stallone texts back, goes, oh, you're so sheltered. How
have you never been there? Nothing could ever happen to you?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
All right, So you had that day. Aaron Rodgers had
the night tonight. You know, Jay, I watch him play
sometimes and I watch some of the throes he makes
and always finding the right receiver. And I say, I
know there's anybody I've ever seen that knows as much
about the quarterback position as Aaron Rodgers does.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Ye know.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
But it's what I really like to see about Aaron
tonight is I'm gonna say the old Aaron Rodgers as
far as Aaron Rodgers like, the play doesn't really begin
until the play breaks down, And when Aaron was at
his height, of Green Bay teams would say we have
to tell our our especially the back seven and our defense,
(17:51):
of like, hey, we're gonna game plan for what happens
after the snap, but after we get to him and
he rolls out, there's a totally different play. The receivers
run completely different routes. You guys have to be ready
for basically two sets of play when it breaks down.
And that's what Aaron was doing. At forty years of age,
He's still making everything Like man, there's so many times
(18:12):
that looks like they're gonna get him right and he
get away, roll out and you make these throws that
like basically nobody but him and Patrick Mahomes can make
when they're on a run like that. Yeah, it was
really impressive.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, Jay, you know, Smith, I want to.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
Remind you of something to ye, we're all waiting for
the other Aaron Rodgers, the guys he hadn't played in
a long time, right, And it's like football is a
timing game, and everybody just wanted him to come right,
advocates and have that old timing from two years ago,
two years So it's really it's a timing game, not
the timing game. You have to get timing with the
(18:47):
people you're playing with. And that's why I think, like
Terry Bradshaw said it and tell me, we posted on
the NFL and Fox and said, you're not seeing a
lot of great offense outputs because for the most part,
preseason guys, you know, you're kil positions, aren't playing and
you can't get your timing down, you're not playing pre seasons.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Takes little time.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
So for Aaron in just a third game and you know,
his first game at home and in uh you know
and uh, well second game home, but his it's a
second game right at home.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
This is first yeah, first one at home, first first one, right,
first one at home.
Speaker 9 (19:22):
And I thought it was gonna take a little bit longer,
to be honest with you, it's just it's such a
timing game, but it just shows you what a g
Aaron Rosters is different.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
It's different, Yeah, watching it here with on a bashed
Jets guy Smith here, I think Jay was tonight, you know,
watching him moving latterly, you know, to your point of
you know, the that the first couple of weeks seemed
a little reticent, maybe a little rusty, but tonight, like scrambling,
(19:51):
making plays with his legs, like if this is the
guy that's fully back that way, then all of a sudden,
you know, all those bullish Jets fans are going to
be tough to deal with.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
Yeah, but also like Kirk Cousins, you know, I fucked
to him, moorese he other and he's like, he's fully healthy,
he just doesn't have confidence in it. He needs the
confident in that leg and the Achilles. And I think
it's you know, said there with with Aaron, like Okay,
you're healthy, but you have to have confidence. You have
to have confidence to do everything. And man, Aaron, obviously,
(20:20):
I think tonight was big for Aaron for that confidence.
And you know, I was out there camp there they're
scrimmaging against Washington and it was rainy. He was lousy
and ars like that now not gonna do it. He's
just didn't and smartly, but like you don't have the
confidence yet to really test it and in conditions like that.
So he's really big smart. But the other thing I
got to say, Matt, the the roster the Jets, as
(20:46):
Joe Douglas has put together a really good rafter over there,
and I think that as they start to mesh and
get you know, more and more common and their confidence down,
more and more Jets are going to be And I
thought of going into the Euro I thought the Jets
were going to be this playoff team because of who's
on the roster, the roster personal wise and the fantastic roster.
(21:07):
But it's hard to believe of the Jet because it's
the Jet is.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Now it is.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Put that one off.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
It's almost like r kursber trading, Babe, Ruth, like.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Just just because you were close.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Jay Lazer, our guest the Jason Smith Show and Mike
Carmon live from the tirec dot Com studios.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
All right now outside of this jet.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
Wait another one? Another thing real quick here too good
defendly that defense.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Corner, Jeff Olbrick, That dude, is a stud. He is
a he will be on head coaching list, and he
is man.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
He's a leader of men. He's a creative cat. Just
just keep his guys, keep his name up there on
the forefront. Has those head coaching jobs open up next year?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
There you go, Jay Glazer throwing that out there, all right,
So as we get away from the Jets and other
big storylines we've been going through this week, Jay Bryce
Young says today he vows to be better after his benching.
Kind of a surprise to see after two games when
you watch him play, it's kind of not a surprise.
Where are you with what you've been hearing about this
story with Bryce Young as it's evolved the last few days.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Mean what what? Story like this?
Speaker 9 (22:22):
The results speak for themselves. This is what happens also
when an owner beer things for a quarterback, but the
owner try to get them to trade for the Shaun Washington.
They're gonna give him an awful lot for Deshaun. And
luckily for them, he went to Cleveland. The owners and
one who speared this for Bryce Young and and look
in parmis the owner. When you don't have a quarterback
(22:45):
in this league, life is miserable.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Hems like, can't coach.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
He was like, can't take players. He needs a quarterback.
Bryce Young was clearly and I can't fault he was.
It wasn't like anybody has to get.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Strout above them because they is.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
And even the Houston Texans, we're trying to trade up
for Bryce Young. Well luckily for them that Carolina, you know,
was the one who made the deal with the Bears.
They were trying to trade up with Chicago and that's
who they were really getting the.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Deal done with.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
And then Houston kind of they got the wires crossed
and the Bear said, you know what, we're not going
to deal with this anymore and we're gonna move on
and go to Carolina, and they did.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
So Houston was trying to.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Move up for them also, So I don't blame him
for what he said, but it is the owner that
steers that. The owner steered it in Cleveland for Deshaun
Watson also that why he's just gonna let your football
people do football, because man, they give up an awful
lot from a quarterback and nobody innos the thing like
when you talk to coaches, you're like, hey, when you
want to trade up for a guy and he's not prototypes.
(23:49):
You really got to check yourself. I was in campus
year with this team at the head coach. I'm not
going to say who it is, he said, man, And
before we ever knew it was gonna happ with Bryce
Hung but he was talking about that, and he said,
anytime you're going to trade up, make sure that person
is prootype. Otherwise hold back from from how much you're
(24:10):
you're you're really kind of salivating for this, because again,
you're your need starts to cloud your judgment. But he
was like, very clear, only if you're a trade up,
make sure you trade up for a prototype.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
James were, we sit here through two weeks of the season.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I think we all, at least to some degree, are
still kind of scratching our heads and wondering what got
in the water in New Orleans.
Speaker 9 (24:37):
You know, I think Dennis al Dennis allis loved in
this league. To get a guy like kid Clint Kubiak,
who obviously comes from Gary Kubiak, right, who's got a
great you know, he's really is a great offensive line.
But then to go to Kyle Shanahan's Kyle Shanahan's an
evil genius. I told you got this and you know
that kind of style of offense to bring that down and
(24:58):
use the tools they have in New Orleans, it's fit perfectly.
I mean he's using tomar like they used Christian McCaffrey
up there in San Francisco. The receivers are, you know,
crossing all over the place, and all you kind of
need is your quarterbacks to have good timing. And you know, look,
remember Derek Carr is up there with Tennis Allavin with
the Raiders back. They said, always believed in him. I
(25:18):
don't know how much Derek has always believed in Derek
and for him to get a little bit more confidence
to something like this, I don't think we've ever seen Derek.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Carr like this.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
Hey Jay.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Lastly, the weird story today, Dan Campbell says, hey, look,
I'm selling my house where I live in to true dude.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:38):
Shoot last year Dallas Cowboy Lions, and I said this
on Foxing the Whole Sunday, Dan Campbell. They have that
crazy game right with their at the end with the
whether the tackle was eligible or not?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Right yep?
Speaker 9 (25:55):
Oh, it's uh, this is this is a game that
Jimmy Johnson in the Hall the Ring of Honor in Doubts.
So we were there, right, we come back to La.
We're doing Foxing Theble Sunday. So it was a Saturday
night game, right. So Dan Campbell gets back at like
four in the morning, and I called him up and
(26:16):
he goes, oh, dude, I haven't slept. That's what happened.
He said, I got docks And I said, what is that?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
He said?
Speaker 9 (26:23):
These people call? Like basically all these like workers showed
up to his house. Somebody played a practical joke and
like a contractor showed up to like fix a porch,
and another guy showed up to like like mop driveway, and.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Another guy showed up to fix the back door.
Speaker 9 (26:43):
And then plumber showed up in this and like all
these people showed up and kept Dan Campbell awake as
a practical joke, which he did not find joking at all.
And apparently it's continued to.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Happen to him.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
People can Dan Campbell alone, Like he's done a great
job there in Detroit? Do you want the guy to
move out?
Speaker 5 (27:07):
What are you doing?
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Leave Dan Campbell alone?
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Well, because they did that to him, and then we
had the uh, the will love his story too, right,
everybody finding his phone number and getting after him.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Yeah, he don't sell his house. Hey, let me tell
you that.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
There were and for everybody out there does stuff like this.
They were the coach whose wife last year some idiot
sent her a threat on Twitter and he's gonna he's
gonna kill her husband, and her husband was like, hey,
make sure, Like I was like, yeah, kill security. Security
(27:42):
got involved, FBI got involved, they tracked it, they kicked
at his news door, and there was some dude who's
like fifty, who freaking lives with his parents, Like, don't
don't do this, cat Like, don't do things like this.
We're just sports.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
We're escaping from.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Don't send people of Dan Campbell's out at five o'clock
in the morning. Don't say you're gonna chill went over sports.
If you don't get this man when your kid comes
home with a DM a report card, don't get this
man about sports. It's crazy, like how much people are
trying of going overboard and now like unfortunately, now we's
the social media people are at here. They're a lot
closer than they've ever been before.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
But darn Campbell. By the way, Also, Campbell will beat
your ass if.

Speaker 9 (30:22):
I know.
Speaker 10 (30:23):
The Patriots surprised us all in the first week of
the season. They're now one and two. They lost twenty
four to three at the Jets. In fact, first half
New England's offense had four drives, four first downs, and
only forty total yards for the game, one hundred and
thirty nine yards for New England.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
In fact, if you go.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Back for worst pass offenses of early seasons the last
fifteen years, to have your first three games, each of
them one hundred and twenty five net yards passing or fewer.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
New England's done that the Bears a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
And that's it.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
That's the list for the last fifteen years, New England
and the Bears.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
And there's your en. That's your last Okay.
Speaker 10 (31:02):
Jets defense with seven sacks Aaron Rodgers two touchdown passes.

due to his bad hamstring. To Major League Baseball Everything's Final,
Houston took the late game over the Angels three to
(31:43):
one with a two run double in the bottom of
the eighth. You say Kakuchi the starter, no decision but
nine strikeouts in six innings of work. The Cubs got
three RBIs from Cody Bellinger at edge Washington seven to
six wins for Pittsburgh, Toronto and Tampa Bay would shut
out Boston two nothing. The Red Sox offense went one
for twenty eight with eleven strikeouts on Fox TV for
(32:06):
most of the country. The Mets hit four home runs
and beat Philadelphia ten to six. Pete Alonzo with his
thirty fourth home run of the season and Mets short
stuff Francisco Lindor was still out with the sore back,
but the loss to Taiwan walker is Era up to
six point nine to one for the season. The win
to Luis Savarino of the Mets eleven and six on
the year six innings of work, just three runs allowed
(32:27):
seven strikeouts. Tonight, the Mets over the Braves by two
games for the final NL Wildcard right now. Atlanta was
a winner today, fifteen to three at Cincinnati. Chris Sale
eighteen and three got the win with five innings of work.
The Braves hit six homers, two by Matt Olson, who
has twenty eight Baltimore won, Yankees lost. Cleveland won in
(32:48):
ten innings to clinch a playoff Berth, and the Dodgers
officially clinched a playoff berth LA first in the NL
West four games over the Padres. They got an actual
start from a pitcher, I mean a guy who went six.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
Innings in this game. Jack Flaherty got the win the
final twenty.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
To four at Miami.
Speaker 10 (33:04):
But of course the story show hey Otani six for six,
ten RBIs, three homers, He's up to fifty one, two
more stolen bases, he has fifty one. Show Heyotani amazingly
had the most games played in the majors among active
players without ever playing in the postseason, apparently until now,
(33:25):
because the Dodgers have clinch that postseason birth and a
week from Sunday, the regular season will come to a conclusion.

The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon live from the
Tirak dot Com studios.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Coming up next.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yes, maybe the greatest individual day a baseball player has
ever had. But let's give you something a little different
about the dominance of show Heyotani over the course of
the last couple of months. That's coming up next, right here,
Jason and Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Fox Sports Radio. Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
This song to mock me No, as far as you know, No,
it's not nineteen eighty five, it's not Last Time the Bears.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Nineteen Yeah, it's to Mock you nineteen eighty Uh. We'll
have more on Aaron thanks to Jay Glazer stopping by
a few minutes ago. Great stuff from him on the
Jets win tonight and Dan Campbell the story about him
getting docks last year and how he's got a move
because too many people know where he lives. I that's
just an insane story. But before we get back into Atani,
(34:37):
just real quick on that Dan Campbell story, the Lions
coach today says selling his house. I believe he's already
closed on it. Someone's buying it because too many people
knows where he lives, and he doesn't have that element
of hey, my life is my life anymore. And that's
that's one thing that I don't think people really understand
about celebrity is that, yes, do celebrities have incredibly great
(34:58):
lives for the most part, Yes, sure they do. They
make a lot of money, yes, big celebrities do. But
you know, many times in your life you just want
to be able to go to the grocery store, or
you want to be able to go to the movies.
You want to be able to go out to dinner,
and always people know who you are. There's always someone
who says, oh, that's so and so, especially if I'm there,
Oh they were in season six of Supernatural. That was
(35:20):
Lucifer's aid in the Big three episode arc and it
and you're self conscious and you feel like you need
to leave because I don't want to be around. I
don't want everybody coming up to me talking to me.
I can't go to the grocery store.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
So I get that.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I don't think people really understand that. That is a
that is a huge give back with celebrities when it
comes to what they do, because you can't always live
in a bubble. You can't just I'm only hanging out
here on a movie set where I'm protected, where security
guards are, or in my gated community where people know
who I am and treat me normal, and because it's
protected in their security and no one can get up
(35:55):
the ramp because there's someone at the front gate.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
When you go out to do things like things you.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Really like to take no second thought about doing, it's yeah,
I don't know if I can do that.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Don't know if I.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Especially if you have your family with you, right, I mean,
how many times here in Los Angeles you have the
the paparazzi lunacy when folks kids are involved, they're outside
of schools and whatever else waiting, Like there's just a
whole other element to it that extends into.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
The sporting world.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
But certainly, I mean, you know, we've been in Los
Angeles a minute, and you'll run into folks at random spots,
like I run into folks at the groceries store down
by me all the time, and it's like there's the
knowing nod and you call no further attention to it.
Hoping they can get their groceries, whatever's in that little
basket and count to one, one thousand and two, one
(36:41):
thousand and three, one thousand and get to that door
before someone says, oh my god, it's you know, it's
it's that kind of thing. And then like most folks
are cool with it. I mean, how many photo arrays
have you've seen people riding the subways, you know, without
seemingly outward concern in New York City, et cetera. But
all it takes is one right and your your your
(37:04):
antenna is always up for the one bad actor. And
that's got to be the most difficult part of all
of it.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Now, it's it is a really difficult, and I always
want to make sure, Hey, I understand that, and I
understand when you see a celebrity, hey, sometimes you can
say hi. Sometimes let them be. Sometimes that's the biggest
thing they give up, without a doubt, is their privacy.
But we'll have more on that story coming again, a
great story by Jay Glaizer're gonna put it up later
on Twitter at Fox Sports Radio so show. Hey Otani
(37:34):
today becomes the first fifty to fifty player in baseball history,
and it was an incredible achievement.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
That he punctuated today by having.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Potentially the best day that anyone has ever had in
baseball history. Six for six, three home runs, ten RBI,
including home runs number forty nine, fifty and fifty one.
All the attention on the home runs, what he's going on?
Speaker 9 (38:00):
Me?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
What can you say about it? But there are very
few players you want to talk about this a different
level of take on Otani's greatness. There's very few players
where I can say this player decided at this point
in their career they wanted to do this, and so
they did it. Like I think Ken Griffy Junior at
some point after first fe years of a career, said
(38:22):
you know what, I want to start hitting more home runs.
I'm gonna start hitting more home run And what he did?
He hit fifty home runs a year.
Speaker 9 (38:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
And obviously he was robbed injuries or he probably would
have passed Babe Ruth, might have passed Hank Aaron. But
I think he was that talented that he just decided,
you know what, I'm gonna start hitting home runs now,
and all of a sudden he starts hitting home runs. Right,
It's a fifty home run a year, guy, Shoeo Tani
become the first fifty to fifty guy in baseball history.
Since August okay, since the first game they played in August.
(38:50):
On August second, Shoeo Tani has stolen twenty one basis. Okay,
this is a guy who obviously lean. Now you think back, Okay,
So he was at twenty first four months of the
season right April, May, June, July, he's sitting around twenty
eight twenty nine stolen bases. I guarantee you he said,
(39:12):
you know what, I can steal fifty bases.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Which, by the way, at that point his career high
was twenty six in twenty twenty one. I think he
is when he was bored playing for the Angels, I mean,
I gotta do something to keep this exciting because losing sucks.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Yeah, because this is not about the way you can say, oh, well,
well if people are you know, years ago would be
oh they took whatever it was to make them better.
In the Mitchell Report, No, I think he just decided
I can hit fifty home runs, I can steal more bases,
I can steal fifty s.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
I can be fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
I know I can hit the home runs, but I
bet you I can steal the bases too, And twenty
one stolen bases in the last month.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
And two weeks.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
All right, So he had twenty twenty you're talking about
twenty eight, twenty nine in the first four months of
the year and then deciding, oh, I can do this
because now he's stealing second, he's stealing third and all.
By the way, the one stolen base he had today,
you look like you were out. But I mean, this
is he's not a speedster.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
This is this is not a guy.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Today he's up and he's Trey Turner and suddenly watch
him go around the basis. But he's still He's stealing
two bases in one in one inning. He's doing everything
because he's just that talented. I believe he decided I
want to steal more bases because I can steal fifty
and that was his big push from August. Except whether
he was bored or thought I could do it, We're
up by twenty games in the in the West, I
(40:29):
can do this, and so here he is. He decided
to make stolen bases a priority, and he does it well.
The other thing being with the rash of injuries both
in the lineup. We talked about it for a long time,
the ineffectiveness of the back half of that lineup. Mookie
Betts was out of the lineup, a number of guys
had lost, you know, their power stroke, and there were
a lot of innings that went to die.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
He'd get on base. So then it became all right,
at least, let's give us a chance, right. The pitching
injuries well chronicled anybody that's talked baseball for two minutes.
The Dodgers pitching injury have come up a million times.
And we've certainly talked about in the in the last
several weeks and certainly the last few days Otani in
his imminent return to activity as a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
But you know, you look at it, and.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
The rules change, the bass change, and folks might want
to dismiss it to that there's only two guys right
now at this point in the season, with what eight
nine games left that are over fifty steals.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
It's him and your guy, Elie de la Cruz. That's it, right.
Ramier is going to probably finish forty forty. That's great.
Nobody cares.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
You got three or four other guys that might get
to forty steals. But it's not like everybody else has
decided to make this their calling card and to take
advantage of the throwover rules, of the pitch clock, and
of course of the base paths and then the larger
bases and whatever that does to shave off a few
inches in terms of getting the lead. No, he's a
(41:50):
guy that has not only kept everything he was doing
as a power broker at the top of the lineup,
but adding this to his game shows the ball intelligence,
the IQ that we always talk about, and I think
a lot of it. To your point, Yeah, I can
do this for me, but the team needs the extra
base because all it takes. I mean, you watch it
(42:11):
the other night with your team on cork and wild pitches, right,
things can get crazy real fast. Oh yeah right, you
steal third all of a sudden. All it takes is
a little sop skipping and jump away from the catcher
and you can create a run. And for a while,
the Dodgers were needing every one of those bases.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Yeah, look, just think about that. When you're that talented,
I can decide to do this and I'm gonna kind.
Speaker 9 (42:34):
Of dig that.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
I mean, that's what I do every night when I
come in with you. It's not for four hours of greatness,
it's all.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
He's getting caught stealing a lot. He's only been caught
stealing twice. He's been really in the last two months.
That's how good this guy is. Timing Baby Exit a
about a Fresca exit swollen dome coming up next, A
story thirty years in the making and it's got a
lot to do with Otani Fox.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
That took a long time.

Fourth quarter now and it looks like we may be
(00:56):
getting the NFL debut of one dre May. The Jets
lead the Patriots twenty four to three. They have been
absolutely dominant the entire game. Jets will be punting. There's
about five minutes left. Rogers just miss Garrett Wilson on
an en route so the Patriots will get the football.
The Jets are winning this game, but I think we're
(01:18):
gonna get Drake May. It looks like he was loosening
up on the sideline and we're gonna see him come
in here to play the last few minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I don't know that I.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Would do this right way the Jets are playing, but
it looks like the Patriots are saying we're gonna make
it happen.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I'm just raising my hand right now ahead of him
walking onto the field because here he comes. As you
and I are live here in the tirerac dot Com studios, Jason,
the way the Jets pressure has gotten to Brisset all night.
Unless he's broken and can't come back in, you've already
let him get bludgeoned for fifty five plus minutes.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
It has been a blood bath because they've been in
the backfield. He has been hit every time he's going
back to throw. He's twelve of eighteen ninety eight yards.
He's been sacked five times. Uh, this is a pressure count,
that's I mean, But for the dropbacks it would be higher.
From a percentage level, it's gonna be higher than what
Caleb Williams said against Houston last week. I if the
(02:12):
whole idea was we're protecting him from getting bludgeoned Drake
May that is bringing him in now doesn't make any sense.
By the way, you mentioned the Aaron Rodgers miss.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
On that end route.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Anybody that bet the three hundred yard game plus seven
fifty that was it because he's at two eighty one. Yeah,
that slide down get touched. That was about twenty two
yards ish, Yep, there you go. You would have gotten
your over right there.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Look, because the next time the Jets get the ball,
they're gonna run it. They're gonna run.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
He may not even be out there, and no he
might not. He might not. But that was that was
really close. That was real.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, no, just missed it. Nice, nice sliding attempt on
the ball. But yeah, for your Jets, I mean this
has been an absolute I mean you've been kind of
uh quiet because after the first quarter.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I think we knew what we were we were into here.
I don't think I deserved nice thing. Look at what
I'm getting tonight. I got the Mets beat the crap
out of the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
It's so great.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Oh, they're playing Candelita again and the Jets to show
up and just steamroll the Patrons.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
We beat him twice in a row after losing them
fifteen streat times. I don't deserve this. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
It's you literally had the eight seconds after the zerline
miss field goal and the ensuing possession that gave you
the hail Mary at the half where it had the
distance it got popped up. Fortunately it was all just
gangreen there at the bottom of the pile as the
ball fell harmlessly incomplete. But other than that, there had
(03:38):
been no stressful minutes for you in this game.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
At look, Aaron Rodgers are going to finish this game
for the Jets with a quarterback rating up near one
to twenty twenty seven out of thirty five to eighty
one and two touchdowns. He has looked every bit of
the part of why the Jets got him a year ago.
He is maneuvering around in the pocket. He is escaping
(04:01):
to make plays happen. He is finding the open receiver.
He is buying time. He has spread the ball around
tonight a lot. You have won two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight players with at least two catches tonight, Whether it's
his primary receiver, secondary receiver, whether he's throwing the ball
in the back shoulder fade, whether he's thrown it over
the middle, whether he's finding Tyler Conklin or Jeremy Ruckert.
(04:25):
This has been Aaron Rodgers showing you that, hey, I'm
still great, I am still an elite quarterback and all
of you can stick it.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
So what I would like to do well? The throwing
is one thing. I want to go to. The mobility, Yeah,
that's the bigger thing.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Look, I wasn't afraid of him being able to put
the ball on a guy's hands.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
That was not the concern.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
The bigger thing was could New England devise enough defensively
to make him work off the spot And what would
that look like? Because the first two weeks, you gotta
admit it didn't look good right going latterly, there were
a lot of concerns about, all, right, is he still
getting through how much was in his head versus what
was still going on with his body. Tonight he's not
only scrambled a couple of times for big positive yardage,
(05:05):
but he slid sidelined the sideline to create open passing
lanes with absolute ease. Over the course of the night.
And to me, that's the thing I take away from it,
even bigger than the passing acumen, like because I know
he can stick it on a guy's hands. It was
the legs and now I feel that much more, much
(05:26):
to my chagrin.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Pullish about your Jets.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And what do we say just a couple moments ago, Well,
because we got to talk about what just happened before
we get back into Rogers. I don't know that I
would put Drake May out there the way the Jets
are getting after the quarterback Surewood just tattooed May, who
was trying to run for a first down back first
into the ground. I don't know I would put him
(05:50):
out there for this. I don't know what they're thinking,
We're gonna come and put a guy out I don't
get it.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
By the look out of his face about set as
he got off the ground, Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Oh wow, the NFL all these guys at heart.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Well, because he had he had a guy hanging on
to his leg and he kind of was trying to
spin away and he spun right into a defender who
rode Warrior tackled him full shoulder straight to the to
the turf.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
But now I want to go back. I want to
go back a few months, a few months. I want
to go back to all the thoughts and all the
Scooby Do, Scooby Do, Scooby Doo. I want to go
back to all the thoughts and all the people. It
said Aaron Rodgers. I don't know that he loves football enough.
Aaron Rodgers. I don't know what kind of leader he is.
(06:31):
There's reports maybe he's not getting along with the guys
in the locker room. Aaron Rodgers is probably not elite anymore.
I don't know if he's going to be the same guy.
You can't ask him to be the same guy. He
may not be good. He may just be a jag.
Aaron Rodgers is too weird, he's too cut up with
other things, and he's not going to wind up being
good for the Jets this year.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Well, all those things may still be true.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I want to go back and have all those conversations,
because what we have seen is a three game ascent
in eleven days, okay, eleven days. We have seen Aaron
Rodgers go from hey did some really good things against
the forty nine ers, And maybe I feel encouraged to Hey,
this is Aaron Rodgers of two years ago. The way
he is putting the ball everywhere he needs to against
(07:14):
the Patriots, the way he's finding the receivers, the way
he's completing the vast majority of his passes, the way
they're pushing the ball downfield. Let's talk about that, because
that's the Aaron Rodgers we're getting now that all that
other crap that was all thrown out there, just Hey,
I don't know what else to say about Aaron Rodgers
because of X, Y and Z.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Maybe he's not good, maybe he doesn't love football. I
think we're seeing what I've said all along, that the
Jets are driven by Aaron Rodgers. And to go back,
and you really want to know why you should have
listened is because what did I tell you when we
got to that point in the in the in the
off season where Rogers skipped the last two days of
(07:55):
mini camp to go to Egypt, right the trip that
he had booked. It was a whole thing. How does
he not how does he go? How does he not stay?
This is being a bad teammate. Forget the fact that
he was there for the last twenty one days of
offseason activities.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It's a bad look. But what did I tell you? Then?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Hey, Aaron Rodgers ain't doing this if he thinks he's
gonna suck this year, Okay, Aaron Rodgers is the last
thing he's going to do is ruin his football reputation
and and go gentle into that good night. He's not
He wants to keep playing Aaron Rodgers. He wants to
hoist up the Lombardi Trophy with the Jets and say
I'm ready for another year. Give me sixty million dollars.
(08:32):
I'm coming back, give me another sixty million. Aaron Rodgers
has hit a point in the last three years where
he is he is the big quarterback superstar in all
of football. Whatever he does makes news. He's not going
to put it risk anything. If he thinks I'm going
to be bad this year. Most of stuffball no no,
But this was no.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But I clear the coach at that point, and I
knew that well against Salah, But I knew then Roger's
going to be just fine. Everybody's worried about nothing because
he's not going to risk Hey, here's a bit, because
if he has a bad year, he's done in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
He's done.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
The Jets move on, Jordan Travis is the quarterback next year,
and Aaron Rodgers is walking away and he's on television
doing crazy interviews, are hosting a podcast.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
So that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
He's not going to do that and go to Egypt
and risk the fall out in the bad optics that
he knows is coming, unless he knows I still got it.
I may need a game or so to get ready,
but I can still sling it, and I know the
throws I can make. And in eleven days he has
gone from hey, all right, showed some really good signs
to wow, this looks like he did with the Packers
(09:42):
two years ago. That's how good he looks like. That's
what he's doing to a pretty decent defense.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Whatever you want to.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Say about the Patriot's offense, which is awful, starting over,
Patriot's defense is pretty good, all right. You had you
had a Bengals offense that couldn't do anything Week one
against them, right, you had a tight game against the Seahawks,
this pagam Patriots.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Look, the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Defense is pretty good, right, and this is what Rogers
is doing to them at every single snap tonight, getting
the ball, pushing it downfield.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
He's the guy. He's it.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
He is what he was a couple or the closest
thing he is to what he is two years ago. Now,
you're never gonna be that same guy coming off an injury,
being forty. But is he damn close to it? Absolutely So.
I want to go back to all those two weird
not elite, not a leader doesn't love football conversations. I
want to have all those now because you realize all
those were just a bunch of crap.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Oh, but in the absence of actual football on the field,
you fill the void. And when a guy has set
himself up as a fairly easy target, we had to
add conversations on the show, where there are a lot
of times I didn't really feel like having the conversation. Yeah,
he's gonna be weird, he's gonna go on podcasts, he's
gonna spout off some nonsense. I don't really care. But
(10:53):
on the grander scale, yeah, it opens the door. And
some folks felt very passionately about what he had to
say and what he was doing. At times, I know
it vexed the hell out of you as he was
waiting to take his spot back on the field. But
once he's actually out there again, I wasn't worried about
his head football wise, or his arm, Like there was
(11:16):
nothing wrong with his arm. It's all about can he
move in the pot? Because what made Aaron Rodgers great? Yeah,
the precision throws, but the ability to move latterly find
an open man and put it on him twenty yards
downfield that you saw tonight, and so we have to
now have proof of concept that that part of his
game has been restored. Look, he's still gonna say some
(11:38):
crazy stuff, or maybe he doesn't, maybe because he's going
back to being elite quarterback Aaron Rodgers, maybe he doesn't
feel the.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Need to share.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I'm sorry, so busy now, guy stuff, I got some
winning football football.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I had no time for you.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
But we'll see, right, he'll start doing his weekly appearances
and whatever else. I haven't seen anything the last few
weeks out of him really other than just talking about
how great it is to be back on the field
and certainly like the game's the better for it, because
quarterbacking as a whole sucks right now. I mean, let's
call it what it is like when guys go, I
wouldn't put you any more quarters quarterbacks above this guy
(12:16):
or that guy. I'm like, it's a pretty low bar, right,
maybe people making the giant cases after Jalen hurts his
game on Monday night or whatever. I'm like, you're not
going too deep to where you're like, yeah, I'd trade
that guy out in a second.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So, you know, saying he's above.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
That line whatever it is you're calling it the Trevor
Lawrence line or whatever that is, I mean, it's not
very deep. We've watched field goal kicking become the pre
eminent scoring opportunities of the first couple of weeks. Quarterback,
he's in a bad spot. So when we can get
special play, yeah, damn right, you're gonna observe it, and
you're gonna appreciate it. Because what he did tonight was
(12:52):
surgeon Like.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The the next twenty four hours is gonna be so
awesome of people having to walk back, Oh, he really
surprised me. That's gonna be such if they actually.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
We very rarely tell we very very rarely get actual
apologies about being wrong on any kind of decision making,
you know that, and hot take nonsense. It usually goes
into the kind of ether, except for if it comes
back up for clicks, that's still good for business.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Right it is a final at Jet Life Stadium. The
Jets thump the Patriots twenty four to three. Aaron Rodgers
the Night of nights. We hear from him coming up
right for that signage.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Man, they're not paying me anything. I can call it
Jet Life if I want to Jet Live jet Live.
Speaker 1 (13:40):

Quarterback rating up near one twenty.
Speaker 3 (15:33):

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Now in the hot line? Nobody better NFL? On Fox
Insider extraordinary. He's on Twitter at Jay Glazer. That is
Jay Glazer? What's happening, Bud?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
How are you doing great?
Speaker 9 (15:46):
Man? How are you guys doing great?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Are you doing better than Aaron Rodgers right now? He's
doing pretty well?
Speaker 9 (15:51):
Jay, Well, Aaron's doing great. But we have different jobs,
so you know, no one's fun to tackle me. But
I was, I had a pretty damn good day. See
you go look at my Instagram.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I was. I was doing all my Scooper's cults.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
That I was working really hard, but I was doing
it while I was at the beach in Malibu. So
I think, and I had that Rosie and her sister
Renee with me. I think Schefter and I do our
jobs a little different.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I think Jay Glazer wins. Yeah, I think so. I mean,
I mean, this is a pretty good day for Aaron Roger.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
So like Jay, in the middle of a rep, like
if you're doing a big rep, in your phone rings.
Do you stop the rep or do you finish the rep?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Like, what happens?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
What do you mean the rep?
Speaker 9 (16:28):
I'm playing out at the beach for my wife and
what we talked?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh no, I mean like I pulled it up for him. Oh,
I was looking at it when you were working out
at Muscle Beach. I thought that was you know, he
was trying to get you back on Venice Beach.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Yeah, the Muscle Beaches it for the first time.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
So yeah, my wife seats trainer all the time. She goes,
you gotta go, obviously, owner unbreakable. I just always went
to my gym all the time. But she convinced me
to go there.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Man, what a what a cool place.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
Man. It was like it was unbelievable. It's like I
was a little kid going there. And I actually texted
some of my friends who've been there for a long time,
and Stallone texts back, goes, oh, you're so sheltered. How
have you never been there? Nothing could ever happen to you?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
All right, So you had that day. Aaron Rodgers had
the night tonight. You know, Jay, I watch him play
sometimes and I watch some of the throes he makes
and always finding the right receiver. And I say, I
know there's anybody I've ever seen that knows as much
about the quarterback position as Aaron Rodgers does.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Ye know.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
But it's what I really like to see about Aaron
tonight is I'm gonna say the old Aaron Rodgers as
far as Aaron Rodgers like, the play doesn't really begin
until the play breaks down, And when Aaron was at
his height, of Green Bay teams would say we have
to tell our our especially the back seven and our defense,
(17:51):
of like, hey, we're gonna game plan for what happens
after the snap, but after we get to him and
he rolls out, there's a totally different play. The receivers
run completely different routes. You guys have to be ready
for basically two sets of play when it breaks down.
And that's what Aaron was doing. At forty years of age,
He's still making everything Like man, there's so many times
(18:12):
that looks like they're gonna get him right and he
get away, roll out and you make these throws that
like basically nobody but him and Patrick Mahomes can make
when they're on a run like that. Yeah, it was
really impressive.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, Jay, you know, Smith, I want to.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
Remind you of something to ye, we're all waiting for
the other Aaron Rodgers, the guys he hadn't played in
a long time, right, And it's like football is a
timing game, and everybody just wanted him to come right,
advocates and have that old timing from two years ago,
two years So it's really it's a timing game, not
the timing game. You have to get timing with the
(18:47):
people you're playing with. And that's why I think, like
Terry Bradshaw said it and tell me, we posted on
the NFL and Fox and said, you're not seeing a
lot of great offense outputs because for the most part,
preseason guys, you know, you're kil positions, aren't playing and
you can't get your timing down, you're not playing pre seasons.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Takes little time.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
So for Aaron in just a third game and you know,
his first game at home and in uh you know
and uh, well second game home, but his it's a
second game right at home.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
This is first yeah, first one at home, first first one, right,
first one at home.
Speaker 9 (19:22):
And I thought it was gonna take a little bit longer,
to be honest with you, it's just it's such a
timing game, but it just shows you what a g
Aaron Rosters is different.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
It's different, Yeah, watching it here with on a bashed
Jets guy Smith here, I think Jay was tonight, you know,
watching him moving latterly, you know, to your point of
you know, the that the first couple of weeks seemed
a little reticent, maybe a little rusty, but tonight, like scrambling,
(19:51):
making plays with his legs, like if this is the
guy that's fully back that way, then all of a sudden,
you know, all those bullish Jets fans are going to
be tough to deal with.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
Yeah, but also like Kirk Cousins, you know, I fucked
to him, moorese he other and he's like, he's fully healthy,
he just doesn't have confidence in it. He needs the
confident in that leg and the Achilles. And I think
it's you know, said there with with Aaron, like Okay,
you're healthy, but you have to have confidence. You have
to have confidence to do everything. And man, Aaron, obviously,
(20:20):
I think tonight was big for Aaron for that confidence.
And you know, I was out there camp there they're
scrimmaging against Washington and it was rainy. He was lousy
and ars like that now not gonna do it. He's
just didn't and smartly, but like you don't have the
confidence yet to really test it and in conditions like that.
So he's really big smart. But the other thing I
got to say, Matt, the the roster the Jets, as
(20:46):
Joe Douglas has put together a really good rafter over there,
and I think that as they start to mesh and
get you know, more and more common and their confidence down,
more and more Jets are going to be And I
thought of going into the Euro I thought the Jets
were going to be this playoff team because of who's
on the roster, the roster personal wise and the fantastic roster.
(21:07):
But it's hard to believe of the Jet because it's
the Jet is.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Now it is.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Put that one off.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
It's almost like r kursber trading, Babe, Ruth, like.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Just just because you were close.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Jay Lazer, our guest the Jason Smith Show and Mike
Carmon live from the tirec dot Com studios.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
All right now outside of this jet.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
Wait another one? Another thing real quick here too good
defendly that defense.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Corner, Jeff Olbrick, That dude, is a stud. He is
a he will be on head coaching list, and he
is man.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
He's a leader of men. He's a creative cat. Just
just keep his guys, keep his name up there on
the forefront. Has those head coaching jobs open up next year?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
There you go, Jay Glazer throwing that out there, all right,
So as we get away from the Jets and other
big storylines we've been going through this week, Jay Bryce
Young says today he vows to be better after his benching.
Kind of a surprise to see after two games when
you watch him play, it's kind of not a surprise.
Where are you with what you've been hearing about this
story with Bryce Young as it's evolved the last few days.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Mean what what? Story like this?
Speaker 9 (22:22):
The results speak for themselves. This is what happens also
when an owner beer things for a quarterback, but the
owner try to get them to trade for the Shaun Washington.
They're gonna give him an awful lot for Deshaun. And
luckily for them, he went to Cleveland. The owners and
one who speared this for Bryce Young and and look
in parmis the owner. When you don't have a quarterback
(22:45):
in this league, life is miserable.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Hems like, can't coach.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
He was like, can't take players. He needs a quarterback.
Bryce Young was clearly and I can't fault he was.
It wasn't like anybody has to get.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Strout above them because they is.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
And even the Houston Texans, we're trying to trade up
for Bryce Young. Well luckily for them that Carolina, you know,
was the one who made the deal with the Bears.
They were trying to trade up with Chicago and that's
who they were really getting the.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Deal done with.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
And then Houston kind of they got the wires crossed
and the Bear said, you know what, we're not going
to deal with this anymore and we're gonna move on
and go to Carolina, and they did.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
So Houston was trying to.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Move up for them also, So I don't blame him
for what he said, but it is the owner that
steers that. The owner steered it in Cleveland for Deshaun
Watson also that why he's just gonna let your football
people do football, because man, they give up an awful
lot from a quarterback and nobody innos the thing like
when you talk to coaches, you're like, hey, when you
want to trade up for a guy and he's not prototypes.
(23:49):
You really got to check yourself. I was in campus
year with this team at the head coach. I'm not
going to say who it is, he said, man, And
before we ever knew it was gonna happ with Bryce
Hung but he was talking about that, and he said,
anytime you're going to trade up, make sure that person
is prootype. Otherwise hold back from from how much you're
(24:10):
you're you're really kind of salivating for this, because again,
you're your need starts to cloud your judgment. But he
was like, very clear, only if you're a trade up,
make sure you trade up for a prototype.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
James were, we sit here through two weeks of the season.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I think we all, at least to some degree, are
still kind of scratching our heads and wondering what got
in the water in New Orleans.
Speaker 9 (24:37):
You know, I think Dennis al Dennis allis loved in
this league. To get a guy like kid Clint Kubiak,
who obviously comes from Gary Kubiak, right, who's got a
great you know, he's really is a great offensive line.
But then to go to Kyle Shanahan's Kyle Shanahan's an
evil genius. I told you got this and you know
that kind of style of offense to bring that down and
(24:58):
use the tools they have in New Orleans, it's fit perfectly.
I mean he's using tomar like they used Christian McCaffrey
up there in San Francisco. The receivers are, you know,
crossing all over the place, and all you kind of
need is your quarterbacks to have good timing. And you know, look,
remember Derek Carr is up there with Tennis Allavin with
the Raiders back. They said, always believed in him. I
(25:18):
don't know how much Derek has always believed in Derek
and for him to get a little bit more confidence
to something like this, I don't think we've ever seen Derek.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Carr like this.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
Hey Jay.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Lastly, the weird story today, Dan Campbell says, hey, look,
I'm selling my house where I live in to true dude.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:38):
Shoot last year Dallas Cowboy Lions, and I said this
on Foxing the Whole Sunday, Dan Campbell. They have that
crazy game right with their at the end with the
whether the tackle was eligible or not?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Right yep?
Speaker 9 (25:55):
Oh, it's uh, this is this is a game that
Jimmy Johnson in the Hall the Ring of Honor in Doubts.
So we were there, right, we come back to La.
We're doing Foxing Theble Sunday. So it was a Saturday
night game, right. So Dan Campbell gets back at like
four in the morning, and I called him up and
(26:16):
he goes, oh, dude, I haven't slept. That's what happened.
He said, I got docks And I said, what is that?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
He said?
Speaker 9 (26:23):
These people call? Like basically all these like workers showed
up to his house. Somebody played a practical joke and
like a contractor showed up to like fix a porch,
and another guy showed up to like like mop driveway, and.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Another guy showed up to fix the back door.
Speaker 9 (26:43):
And then plumber showed up in this and like all
these people showed up and kept Dan Campbell awake as
a practical joke, which he did not find joking at all.
And apparently it's continued to.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Happen to him.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
People can Dan Campbell alone, Like he's done a great
job there in Detroit? Do you want the guy to
move out?
Speaker 5 (27:07):
What are you doing?
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Leave Dan Campbell alone?
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Well, because they did that to him, and then we
had the uh, the will love his story too, right,
everybody finding his phone number and getting after him.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Yeah, he don't sell his house. Hey, let me tell
you that.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
There were and for everybody out there does stuff like this.
They were the coach whose wife last year some idiot
sent her a threat on Twitter and he's gonna he's
gonna kill her husband, and her husband was like, hey,
make sure, Like I was like, yeah, kill security. Security
(27:42):
got involved, FBI got involved, they tracked it, they kicked
at his news door, and there was some dude who's
like fifty, who freaking lives with his parents, Like, don't
don't do this, cat Like, don't do things like this.
We're just sports.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
We're escaping from.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Don't send people of Dan Campbell's out at five o'clock
in the morning. Don't say you're gonna chill went over sports.
If you don't get this man when your kid comes
home with a DM a report card, don't get this
man about sports. It's crazy, like how much people are
trying of going overboard and now like unfortunately, now we's
the social media people are at here. They're a lot
closer than they've ever been before.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
But darn Campbell. By the way, Also, Campbell will beat

Well, the Mets played a real team, so I think
that decides the classes.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
I know.
Speaker 10 (30:23):
The Patriots surprised us all in the first week of
the season. They're now one and two. They lost twenty
four to three at the Jets. In fact, first half
New England's offense had four drives, four first downs, and
only forty total yards for the game, one hundred and
thirty nine yards for New England.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
In fact, if you go.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Back for worst pass offenses of early seasons the last
fifteen years, to have your first three games, each of
them one hundred and twenty five net yards passing or fewer.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
New England's done that the Bears a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
And that's it.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
That's the list for the last fifteen years, New England
and the Bears.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
And there's your en. That's your last Okay.
Speaker 10 (31:02):
Jets defense with seven sacks Aaron Rodgers two touchdown passes.

and Philadelphia wide out AJ Brown did not practice today
due to his bad hamstring. To Major League Baseball Everything's Final,
Houston took the late game over the Angels three to
(31:43):
one with a two run double in the bottom of
the eighth. You say Kakuchi the starter, no decision but
nine strikeouts in six innings of work. The Cubs got
three RBIs from Cody Bellinger at edge Washington seven to
six wins for Pittsburgh, Toronto and Tampa Bay would shut
out Boston two nothing. The Red Sox offense went one
for twenty eight with eleven strikeouts on Fox TV for
(32:06):
most of the country. The Mets hit four home runs
and beat Philadelphia ten to six. Pete Alonzo with his
thirty fourth home run of the season and Mets short
stuff Francisco Lindor was still out with the sore back,
but the loss to Taiwan walker is Era up to
six point nine to one for the season. The win
to Luis Savarino of the Mets eleven and six on
the year six innings of work, just three runs allowed
(32:27):
seven strikeouts. Tonight, the Mets over the Braves by two
games for the final NL Wildcard right now. Atlanta was
a winner today, fifteen to three at Cincinnati. Chris Sale
eighteen and three got the win with five innings of work.
The Braves hit six homers, two by Matt Olson, who
has twenty eight Baltimore won, Yankees lost. Cleveland won in
(32:48):
ten innings to clinch a playoff Berth, and the Dodgers
officially clinched a playoff berth LA first in the NL
West four games over the Padres. They got an actual
start from a pitcher, I mean a guy who went six.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
Innings in this game. Jack Flaherty got the win the
final twenty.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
To four at Miami.
Speaker 10 (33:04):
But of course the story show hey Otani six for six,
ten RBIs, three homers, He's up to fifty one, two
more stolen bases, he has fifty one. Show Heyotani amazingly
had the most games played in the majors among active
players without ever playing in the postseason, apparently until now,
(33:25):
because the Dodgers have clinch that postseason birth and a
week from Sunday, the regular season will come to a conclusion.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Coming up next.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yes, maybe the greatest individual day a baseball player has
ever had. But let's give you something a little different
about the dominance of show Heyotani over the course of
the last couple of months. That's coming up next, right here,
Jason and Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

Mike Harmon.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
This song to mock me No, as far as you know, No,
it's not nineteen eighty five, it's not Last Time the Bears.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Nineteen Yeah, it's to Mock you nineteen eighty Uh. We'll
have more on Aaron thanks to Jay Glazer stopping by
a few minutes ago. Great stuff from him on the
Jets win tonight and Dan Campbell the story about him
getting docks last year and how he's got a move
because too many people know where he lives. I that's
just an insane story. But before we get back into Atani,
(34:37):
just real quick on that Dan Campbell story, the Lions
coach today says selling his house. I believe he's already
closed on it. Someone's buying it because too many people
knows where he lives, and he doesn't have that element
of hey, my life is my life anymore. And that's
that's one thing that I don't think people really understand
about celebrity is that, yes, do celebrities have incredibly great
(34:58):
lives for the most part, Yes, sure they do. They
make a lot of money, yes, big celebrities do. But
you know, many times in your life you just want
to be able to go to the grocery store, or
you want to be able to go to the movies.
You want to be able to go out to dinner,
and always people know who you are. There's always someone
who says, oh, that's so and so, especially if I'm there,
Oh they were in season six of Supernatural. That was
(35:20):
Lucifer's aid in the Big three episode arc and it
and you're self conscious and you feel like you need
to leave because I don't want to be around. I
don't want everybody coming up to me talking to me.
I can't go to the grocery store.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
So I get that.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I don't think people really understand that. That is a
that is a huge give back with celebrities when it
comes to what they do, because you can't always live
in a bubble. You can't just I'm only hanging out
here on a movie set where I'm protected, where security
guards are, or in my gated community where people know
who I am and treat me normal, and because it's
protected in their security and no one can get up
(35:55):
the ramp because there's someone at the front gate.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
When you go out to do things like things you.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Really like to take no second thought about doing, it's yeah,
I don't know if I can do that.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Don't know if I.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Especially if you have your family with you, right, I mean,
how many times here in Los Angeles you have the
the paparazzi lunacy when folks kids are involved, they're outside
of schools and whatever else waiting, Like there's just a
whole other element to it that extends into.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
The sporting world.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
But certainly, I mean, you know, we've been in Los
Angeles a minute, and you'll run into folks at random spots,
like I run into folks at the groceries store down
by me all the time, and it's like there's the
knowing nod and you call no further attention to it.
Hoping they can get their groceries, whatever's in that little
basket and count to one, one thousand and two, one
(36:41):
thousand and three, one thousand and get to that door
before someone says, oh my god, it's you know, it's
it's that kind of thing. And then like most folks
are cool with it. I mean, how many photo arrays
have you've seen people riding the subways, you know, without
seemingly outward concern in New York City, et cetera. But
all it takes is one right and your your your
(37:04):
antenna is always up for the one bad actor. And
that's got to be the most difficult part of all
of it.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Now, it's it is a really difficult, and I always
want to make sure, Hey, I understand that, and I
understand when you see a celebrity, hey, sometimes you can
say hi. Sometimes let them be. Sometimes that's the biggest
thing they give up, without a doubt, is their privacy.
But we'll have more on that story coming again, a
great story by Jay Glaizer're gonna put it up later
on Twitter at Fox Sports Radio so show. Hey Otani
(37:34):
today becomes the first fifty to fifty player in baseball history,
and it was an incredible achievement.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
That he punctuated today by having.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Potentially the best day that anyone has ever had in
baseball history. Six for six, three home runs, ten RBI,
including home runs number forty nine, fifty and fifty one.
All the attention on the home runs, what he's going on?
Speaker 9 (38:00):
Me?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
What can you say about it? But there are very
few players you want to talk about this a different
level of take on Otani's greatness. There's very few players
where I can say this player decided at this point
in their career they wanted to do this, and so
they did it. Like I think Ken Griffy Junior at
some point after first fe years of a career, said
(38:22):
you know what, I want to start hitting more home runs.
I'm gonna start hitting more home run And what he did?
He hit fifty home runs a year.
Speaker 9 (38:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
And obviously he was robbed injuries or he probably would
have passed Babe Ruth, might have passed Hank Aaron. But
I think he was that talented that he just decided,
you know what, I'm gonna start hitting home runs now,
and all of a sudden he starts hitting home runs. Right,
It's a fifty home run a year, guy, Shoeo Tani
become the first fifty to fifty guy in baseball history.
Since August okay, since the first game they played in August.
(38:50):
On August second, Shoeo Tani has stolen twenty one basis. Okay,
this is a guy who obviously lean. Now you think back, Okay,
So he was at twenty first four months of the
season right April, May, June, July, he's sitting around twenty
eight twenty nine stolen bases. I guarantee you he said,
(39:12):
you know what, I can steal fifty bases.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Which, by the way, at that point his career high
was twenty six in twenty twenty one. I think he
is when he was bored playing for the Angels, I mean,
I gotta do something to keep this exciting because losing sucks.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Yeah, because this is not about the way you can say, oh, well,
well if people are you know, years ago would be
oh they took whatever it was to make them better.
In the Mitchell Report, No, I think he just decided
I can hit fifty home runs, I can steal more bases,
I can steal fifty s.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
I can be fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
I know I can hit the home runs, but I
bet you I can steal the bases too, And twenty
one stolen bases in the last month.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
And two weeks.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
All right, So he had twenty twenty you're talking about
twenty eight, twenty nine in the first four months of
the year and then deciding, oh, I can do this
because now he's stealing second, he's stealing third and all.
By the way, the one stolen base he had today,
you look like you were out. But I mean, this
is he's not a speedster.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
This is this is not a guy.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Today he's up and he's Trey Turner and suddenly watch
him go around the basis. But he's still He's stealing
two bases in one in one inning. He's doing everything
because he's just that talented. I believe he decided I
want to steal more bases because I can steal fifty
and that was his big push from August. Except whether
he was bored or thought I could do it, We're
up by twenty games in the in the West, I
(40:29):
can do this, and so here he is. He decided
to make stolen bases a priority, and he does it well.
The other thing being with the rash of injuries both
in the lineup. We talked about it for a long time,
the ineffectiveness of the back half of that lineup. Mookie
Betts was out of the lineup, a number of guys
had lost, you know, their power stroke, and there were
a lot of innings that went to die.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
He'd get on base. So then it became all right,
at least, let's give us a chance, right. The pitching
injuries well chronicled anybody that's talked baseball for two minutes.
The Dodgers pitching injury have come up a million times.
And we've certainly talked about in the in the last
several weeks and certainly the last few days Otani in
his imminent return to activity as a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
But you know, you look at it, and.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
The rules change, the bass change, and folks might want
to dismiss it to that there's only two guys right
now at this point in the season, with what eight
nine games left that are over fifty steals.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
It's him and your guy, Elie de la Cruz. That's it, right.
Ramier is going to probably finish forty forty. That's great.
Nobody cares.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
You got three or four other guys that might get
to forty steals. But it's not like everybody else has
decided to make this their calling card and to take
advantage of the throwover rules, of the pitch clock, and
of course of the base paths and then the larger
bases and whatever that does to shave off a few
inches in terms of getting the lead. No, he's a
(41:50):
guy that has not only kept everything he was doing
as a power broker at the top of the lineup,
but adding this to his game shows the ball intelligence,
the IQ that we always talk about, and I think
a lot of it. To your point, Yeah, I can
do this for me, but the team needs the extra
base because all it takes. I mean, you watch it
(42:11):
the other night with your team on cork and wild pitches, right,
things can get crazy real fast. Oh yeah right, you
steal third all of a sudden. All it takes is
a little sop skipping and jump away from the catcher
and you can create a run. And for a while,
the Dodgers were needing every one of those bases.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Yeah, look, just think about that. When you're that talented,
I can decide to do this and I'm gonna kind.
Speaker 9 (42:34):
Of dig that.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
I mean, that's what I do every night when I
come in with you. It's not for four hours of greatness,
it's all.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
He's getting caught stealing a lot. He's only been caught
stealing twice. He's been really in the last two months.
That's how good this guy is. Timing Baby Exit a
about a Fresca exit swollen dome coming up next, A
story thirty years in the making and it's got a
lot to do with Otani Fox.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
That took a long time.
