the way tire buying should be. Well. Just under four
(00:50):
minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Despite the fact
they have not scored a touchdown tonight, the Giants are
less than whether five points. Yeah, I'm the Cowboys facing
a big fourth and six down twenty to fifteen. Again,
three and a half to go in the fourth quarter.
(01:10):
Daniel Jones can't throw the ball more than twenty yards
with any sort of accuracy or arm strength, and still
he is carving up the Cowboys as the Dallas allows
them to move up and down the field, but a
big drop there by the Giants on third down. They
got a big decision coming up here on fourth Mike,
I'll tell you, if somehow the Cowboys lose this game
(01:30):
to the Giants, not just this would be this is
way worse than if they lost like thirty eight, thirty seven,
forty one thirty eight. Like the Giants haven't scored an
offensive touchdown at this point, and if the Cowboys find
a way to lose this game, I don't know. I mean,
that's the end of the Cowboys seas. I can't imagine
what it's going to be like at Valley Ranch the
(01:51):
rest of this week and on the rest of the
year losing a game like this. Well, but I mean,
you look at what the Cowboys and coming into this
game a lot about the history and the dominance in
this series, Dable, you know, winless sere against the Cowboys,
all these things, Daniel Jones in non Sunday games, all
of these data points.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
We go back to Week one, Remember when they beat
up on the Cleveland Browns. Did the Cowboys what did
we say coming out of it. It's like, oh, that
was all finding good. Can they finish drives? I love
Brandon Aubury. I think it's great post Malon's running around
with his jersey, getting them to sign up before the
game at midfield and all that fun stuff. But you
need to score touchdowns. You had the big play to
Ceedee Lamb. Otherwise it's been pedestrian all night long for
(02:34):
this offense. All those penalties, the pre snap penalty count
is ridiculous. These guys would be running for days. Just
keep going. You owe me five laps for every time
you do something dumb, because you got a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Here.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Dak's twenty two of twenty seven, two hundred and twenty
one yards, dink and dunk, right, except for the fifty
five yarder. Ric O'Donnell's finally up to forty one yards.
It's looking a bit more respectable as the game's gone on,
but they can't run the ball. The first three weeks
of the season, that's been a disaster. Here is a
little more breathing room and it looks better cosmetically, but
(03:09):
overall they still have a lot of issues. They just
showed a graphic with Andrew Thomas against Micah Parsons fourteen
one on one matchups only one pressure allowed. Now he
did a great move against him on a run play
to blow things up. That now sets up eventually this
fourth and sixth. But Cowboys are not out of the woods.
This is one where you're hoping to succeed and proceed.
(03:29):
Just get out of here and escape because you still
got a lot of work to do.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
This would just be a disaster for the Cowboys to
lose this game. Yeah, but it's good business for us
oh Man to sell the team. He might, he might
sell it to the John Fisher tonight. Yeah, and pro
John Fisher.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
And scoring a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, they move it to Oakland. Fe'll be perfect. They'll
play in the Colisee. It'll be perfect. It'd be great,
it'd be awesome.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I'm honeyt Room. You could take the tarps off of
Mount Davis. Here's the question from the final game though,
if they'd untarped those sections, could they have sold them
out today?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh? You know, I don't know about that because right before,
like I watched all the pregame and and watch the game,
and I'm watching the pregame going, yeah, they get ready
to start and there's still a lot of seats that
are unfilled, and you know, maybe people are out doing
things and getting food. Yeah, at the tailgate are going
to be in their seats. So yeah, I think if
they if they bared running late, I don't I don't
(04:27):
think they capped anything. I think they said okay, let's
do it here, and then they because if they wanted
to and they were able to uncover the seats in
you know, really high up uh in Mount Davis, I
don't think that they would have they would have said no.
So I got to think that, yeah, okay, we're gonna
we're gonna tap this out here around forty six forty
seven thousand.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But it looked good on TV. A lot of pomp
and circumstance, a couple of jackasses running on the field.
I mean we did ask the over under question yesterday
how many people would run onto the field before the
final out? Not nearly as many as you thought.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, it looked at the the whole thing today was crazy.
And again we'll have an update on the Cowboys Giants
game coming up in a couple minutes. Again, just under
three and a half to go. Cowboys are going to
wind up getting the football back as the Giants don't
get it on fourth down. Meanwhile, Micah Parsons was just
helped off the field with an injury. We'll have updates
on that. He was able to walk off under his
(05:20):
own power, but he was down for a while before
he came off the field. Looked like some kind of
lower body injury, but again we'll have more on that
coming up. Giants go for it on fourth down. Molak
Neighbors is not able to come down with the ball
and he is also hurt on the sideline as well.
Maybe he landed on the football, hoping that's what it was,
because it looks like that's what it was, but again
(05:42):
he's being looked at on the sidelines. We'll have more
on this coming up in a few minutes. But look,
the thing with the A's today is it was really
something to watch because it was everything a day like
today should be. There was e motion, there was bitterness,
there was people being at peace, there was happiness, there
(06:03):
was sadness. There was a great look back in the
past of the of the team and it's and it's
great players Dave Stewart, Ricky Henderson were on the field.
There were high jinks with fans going green smoke bombs
on the field the ninth inning, and the A's won
the game, and I could sit here. I could have
sat here and watched just the crowd shots for the
entire three hours of the game, because it's Raleigh Fingers jerseys,
(06:26):
and sal Bando jerseys, and and McGuire and and and jerseys,
and some canse CooA see even some Conseco jerseys, Ricky
Henderson jerseys. It was just a really great day to say,
how do we end something? Because looks, as Ironman told us,
part of the journey is the end, right and and
it was ending today and you couldn't stop that. So
(06:46):
the best thing you could hope for was let's have
the best kind of send off we can. And I
think we got that today, I really do. And it's
and it's really it's you know a lot of emotions
going through me, you know, seeing the A's leave, uh,
you know, and and thinking about the great teams. You know,
when you and I were both kids in the eighties
and early nineties, the Ages were the best team in baseball,
and you know, there were lights out and it was
(07:08):
it was the Bash Brothers and Ricky Henderson and eckers
Lee and these great teams, and then they got another
burst of fame with Moneyball that carried them for a decade.
And and and to see them leave after all the
mismanagement and and and the less than altruistic motivations of
John Fisher and major League Baseball, it was. It was
(07:29):
a lot to take in today. But I feel like,
you know, getting to watch this, like I walked away
from it saying, yeah, that was that was a great
I feel fulfilled in the way it ended, because again,
with endings, you can only have good ending. Let's try
to end it the best way possible, because the end
is here no matter what. I think that was kind
of the best way they could have ended well.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
And I think that's it. You know, everybody, you hit
that level of acceptance, it's a long time coming, and
you wait for the stay of execution all of that stuff,
and you know it's the than oschnap. It was inevitable,
just a matter of you know, closing things up and
how you put a pin in it. Now, the idiots
with smoke bombs and whatever, they can beat it. The
other idiots running down on the field beat it. The
(08:08):
chair stealing thing is kind of funny, but again, you're
a menace and indicative of the problems that we've got
all over the place. But when you look at it
from a fan perspective, being a White Sox guy in Chicago, right,
small but loud contingent of fans, and they certainly made
themselves seen and heard the last couple of home games
(08:30):
as they sweep the Angels to send the Angels to
their worst record ever. So at least there was one
record created today in that game as the White Sox
blot at the Angels. But you know, always would go
see the Socks and look, Yahoo had tickets. So I
spent a lot of days when my then wife was
(08:50):
working abroad. It's like, all right, what are we doing. Well,
I'm gonna go to the game because they gave me tickets.
You guys want to come, and we'd go. I think
I saw one White Socks winning all the years I
was there, from the late nineties into the into like
two thousand and five, when yeah, no, it really does
play in line with today's White Sox, the hits of
yesterday and today. But you know, a lot of bobblehead games.
(09:13):
I still have a lot of those A's bobbleheads of
Tim Hudson and Miguel Tahata and all those guys from
back in the day. But it was they again, small
fan base, and they would come out, you know, on
the weekend you'd get some pretty huge crowds, non giants
days where people would get out there. But they love
their team, right. Banjo man, he was there today. That
(09:35):
was a guy that was painting playing the banjo when
I was there, and he looked like he was one
hundred and five then, so I can only imagine it
looks like a used leather football. Yeah, no, he's seen
a lot of sun. He got stompered, the mascot riding
around the elephant, I mean all of that stuff. As
much of a hole as it was, it was still
a cool place to go see a game because you're
looking at Mount Davis, you look at just you think
(09:58):
of the history of the place, the goofiness of the
football field and baseball time and all of those things.
And today it wraps up. So you know, bittersweet, right,
because curious to see what the next iteration is, whether
they actually ever get to Vegas, But it'll be an
interesting job.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
They may come back. They May. It's a Sacramento. Things
not working out. We can't get a stam in Vegas. Hey, guys,
guess what I'm coming back. That would happen with the
new owner, like baseball would actually listen, you can't go
back there, but a new owner could bring the team back,
and we have baseball back in Oakland. Telling you don't
let that place go to the possums yet. Man, you
got at least once a month have somebody go through
and clear some stuff out. Man, keep don't let that
(10:36):
place turn into the Silver Dome. You may need that
at some point because that the possums. They're already planning
that takeover. Okay, last game we had it. It's done.
There's no more games out of there's any more concerts,
there's nothing else we're taking over it. No, you gotta
fight the possums.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Think of the most ugliest, worst place ever with the
worst smell ever. Yeah, and that's the Colisseum. I mean
standing water always no matter where what time of year
it was like it hasn't rained in three months, doesn't
matter you work violations they did in that booth.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Couldn't eat a place though, Man couldn't eat a place
when Vegas doesn't work out, you're not staying in Sacramento.
That's not I.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Will say that. Sh it was funny, like they had
two sets of things, right, so you had tickets to
the new Giant Stadium, all that was great, and then
you had they had a suite at the A's game,
and then a couple of random tickets right four here,
and then sometimes you'd get the box. And let me
tell you, the luxury boxes at the Oakland Alameda County Stadium,
they were that name only it was just a bunch
(11:36):
of seats. There's nothing special going on there, you know,
nothing like you see in all these other stadiums where
it's made up like a hotel suite, ready to welcome
you in and be all excepted. Now it's like just
gray walls, come on in, paint, shipping, you name it.
And that's again. I'm going back to two thousand and three,
two thousand and four when I would make regular runs
(11:57):
to Oakland. But you a long, long story history, very cool,
odd stadium.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
They made a movie about the team. They don't make
they they made movies about the egg. He's up in
one movie about the Mets.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
It's not different, show up in one of the Avengers movie.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Well, they did show and Men in Black, there were
Bernard Gilkey was in Men and Right, but this was yeah,
but this was about the entire also down on Mets
fans in Shark Nado. This was a movie about the A's.
I mean, I can't believe part of the video tributes
they kept showing all day. They didn't show the Chris
Pratt version of the Haddiberg.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
No, it's bring in Pratt, don't seymore off. But it's
just clapping like, oh my goodness, week just won. Brad
Pitt is doing all the exercises. Like really, that's the
legacy of the A's now, Like if I when when
when people tell the Moneyballs, you know, it's a huge movie.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
In my house. My daughter and I quote it all
the time. Like what I had to tell her today
that hey, this is the last game in Oakland because
they're moving. She goes, what they're moving? Oh, yeah, they're moving.
She was like, oh wow. She kind I didn't really
put two and two together. She goes, she's not gonna
play there anymore. Like the A's are done. I said, yeah,
the A's are done. We'll always have Moneyball. But the
A's are done. It really was was a difficult thing.
But I mean that at least that part of it
(13:13):
for the A's is gonna live forever. I mean, maybe
maybe that's the lasting image. It's not eckers Lee, it's
not it's not the Bash Brothers. It's not the back
to back to back in seventy two, seventy three, seventy four.
It's not Connie Mac It's Moneyball. It's the movie Moneyball.
It's Brad Pitt, it's Jonahill. Maybe maybe that's a legacy.
That's the lasting image. And the song Guys, I'm gonna
(13:36):
point a Pete again. If you don't, I'm gonna point
a Pete again. Exit, how about a Fresca exit, Swollen Dome?
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend night carment.
But today was it looked it was as good a
day as you could expect to have, considering everything going
on in motion. Gave you all the thing.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, we'll come back and rip on the decision and
everything else later.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Now, a couple of quick things from Thursday Night football.
Micah Parsons just went off the field on a cart.
He had his left shoe and sock off was it
I stop stop stop, wasn't wasn't supported by anything? Because
I watched it. I'm saying what I saw on television.
(14:16):
Would you see when Aaron Rodgers went down after four
last year? Goes stop? People need to know stuff like this. Okay,
I did not just your crazy ass anime version of sports.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
All right, I'm sorry. What do you have against anime.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Just saying that's how you see sports is like through
anime figures. So Parsons was taken off on a cart. Again,
his left leg was not supported by anything, but he
did have his shoe off. The sock off. Also, Maleik
Neighbors was taken to the locker room following the fourth
down play by the Giants that did not get a
(14:51):
first down. I'm not sure if he landed on the ball,
not sure if what the injury was. He did walk
to the locker room under his own power. So we
had Mike Parsons and Malik Neighbors just leave the field.
There are thirty seconds left. The Cowboys just missed a
field goal that could have given them an eight point lead,
so the Giants will have pretty good field position, no timeouts,
(15:15):
and twenty nine seconds to try to get the game
winning score and put a fork in the Cowboys season.
In week four, we got that, We got Jay Glazer
coming up next. Boy, the stress level for the Cowboys
has just hit an all time high. That's next, right here,
Jason and Mike. You are listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
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 (15:47):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live from the
tire Rack dot Com studios. Well, it wasn't pretty, but
it was rock and roll at least. That's the Cowboys
are going to say. They outlast the New York Giants
to get a needed win tonight on Thursday Night Football.
Daniel Jones is picked off on the Giants' final drive
of the night to preserve the Cowboys twenty to fifteen victory.
(16:11):
Dak Prescott two touchdowns, the Giants kick five field goals.
Now what Well, the best person to talk to is
joining us now in the Hotline NFL on Fox. Inside
are extraordinary, Jay Glazer. Jay, I got to say, if
I'm the Cowboys, I look at this game and I go, Okay,
last couple of weeks were bad. We got the win
we needed, but wow, I don't feel as great after
(16:33):
this game as I thought I would.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
No, obviously, Also, you know, Michael Parkson's going down. Man,
that's oh, that's a scary loss for them. You know, listen, offensively,
I actually think they've had a good season, but even
like last week, you know, for them to get beat
up so much against Baltimore and everybody's kind of killing them,
I kind of looking like, man, they fought back. I
kind of looked him like they were gritty, and I was.
(16:57):
I guess I was kind of like on the outside
looking in on that. But you know, they needed something
for their defense. You know what, I don't think like
people just said, Okay, dan Quinn left and you know,
Mike zimmers in and hey, that's fine, And they didn't
really give enough credit for the loss of dan Quinn.
I mean, love than dan Quinn is. This guy's only
(17:17):
had success on defense wherever he's on. And he brought
up you Atlanta Falcon's to super Bowl right and we're
you know, maybe a running play away from winning, except
for our teammate, you know, Tom Brady but dan Quinn
what he did over there, it's people just kind of said, Okay,
they replaced one veteran coach with another one and it's
going to be fine. And I just think that people
(17:40):
kind of took it for granted, and you saw it
like tonight, defensively, they stepped up and that's what they need.
And Mike zimmers that he's always been a damn good
defensive coach. But you know, when you'll replace one system
with another, it does take usually time for guys to
I don't know if it's sometimes it's buy in, but
sometimes it's also just believe in the system. And you're
(18:02):
kind of hurt guys saying it a little bit last
week in the last couple of weeks. I remember, you know,
the Giants their Super Bowl year with Strahan's year, they
gave up fifty points a game in the first two
games for under Steve spagnoway, he was a defense coinator,
And I remember Straighthan and Dustin Tucking, and I think
Antonio Pierce kind of telling me that they basically went
(18:22):
to the team and they said, hey, we we gotta
believe fully, like we can't be ninety percent or ninety
five percent in. We got to believe fully what we're doing,
because they were kind of like ninety percent in, but
they're holding off. You know, if you're if you're not
one hundred percent in and you run a four to four,
you're gonna end up running a five to four, you
know what I mean. And they just bought in, and
(18:44):
obviously that defense took them all the way to Super
Bowl Championship. And I think these Cowboys players, it's not
Dan Klin's defense. They got to say, Okay, we have
to buy in fully to Mike Zimmer's defense, whatever we
think of it, if we want to have any chance
of success. Now, I think to I was at least
to start.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
One thing I guess noticeable both the offensive line and
defensive line. Jay. I mean, even if they didn't run
the ball particularly well early, they were at least firing
and given Dack time to operate, which hasn't always been
the case. And as you said, on the defensive.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Side, the running game too, like they don't have they
don't have a horse back there right, you know, I'm
a bell coal. They don't have somebody you can you
can rely on. And I know they said about Derrick Henry.
And look, the truth is the other cap was messed
up because I had a way for Dak and CD
and and everybody else. You know, people say, well, you
should have gotten done earlier, but there's always a game
(19:33):
when it comes to, you know, the cellar chap. But yeah,
I think that's the one thing I wish they would
have had is a you know, they let Tony Powler
go and that's a Pro Bowl running back, and you know,
replacing with Zeke a couple of years later, it's not
the same Zeke he was years ago. I think kind
of Dallas gets a little sentimental on some of their
guys like Zeke and think he could still bring that
same magic, and he's just not the same guy.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Jay, What do you take away from the Giants after tonight?
Daniel Jones moved the ball, but it looked like he
really had trouble throwing it deep. You had Molik Neighbors
get injured to cancuts it off the field.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
There.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They certainly have some ways to proceed because Daniel Jones
has big money guaranteed for injury. What's your big takeaway
from the Giants after this?
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Yeah, Daniel Jones, they can move on from Venue after
this season. But I think, you know, it's just kind
of glaring of like you he some Sakuana singletary, it's
not Man's. That's a huge drop off. You know, I'm
and I'm sitting here saying the same thing about Dallas,
right man. They really needed that running back to protect
you know, it was interesting, like it's you know, I
(20:36):
think Joe Shantington in that in that Hard Knocks I
don't want to you know, forty million dollars quarterback hand
off for twenty million dollar running back to your best friend.
For a forty million dollar quarterback is twenty million dollar
running back. That's what's going to help you the.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Most, especially as you try to push forward with what
Daniel Jones is and move him as a player. How
about we stay in division though, jay big performance coming
out party for Jayden Daniels, pushing the ball downfield, spreading
it around. They lose Eckler, he'll be out this week,
but you still have Robinson and all those receivers. But
Daniel's stepping up into the moment and Daniels.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
What I just talked about dan Quinn, Like dan Quinn
is such a culture builder, loves to go to work
every day with dani Quinn like every day is a
happy day. And in the NFL, you know, have these
coaches just beat up on you. And you know, I
talked to a lot of coaches about this, saying, listen, guys,
those days of beating up on guys got to be gone.
Because they get beat up on Twitter every day, they
(21:31):
get beat up on social media all day long. Things
are just not authentic and they're lives anymore. So if
you're authentic and man, you have this culture of just
loving them up kind of what they need now, and
that's what dan Quinn is. But a guy like Jaden Daniels, man,
they were I will tell you this. They were locked
in on Jayden Daniels really shortly after the combine. Okay,
(21:53):
they were locked in on him. And there's a lot
of teams that thought they had a l and the
Raiders really wanted them. The Giants obviously would have loved
there's a sponsor teams who called for Jayden Daniels and
right out of the gate, dan Quinn Adam Peter's like,
no shot, he's our guy. It wasn't even like there
(22:14):
was no there was no hey hammer Drake may or j. J. McCarthy.
It never was. They were locked in on Jayden Daniels
very early in the process and always thought he's gonna
be a stuff. But there's a lot of teams that
were too and they all were trying to make a run,
and Washington was like, absolutely knows that they never entertained anything.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Jake Glazer with Us the Jason Smizer with Mike Carmon
Live at the Tyreck dot Com Studios. All right, let's
go back to your scoopage that you had earlier this
week that hey, Sam Donald looks okay, looks like optimistic.
He's going to play against Green Bay a huge game
this week. I think everybody's surprised at what they've seen
from Sam Donald so far. Jay where are you?
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Man? I'm not proud when I see something with Kevin
O'Connell or Matt Lafour. They're playing right, like, look at
these two guys, and look look at the tree they're
front really sel McVay, and people never like, look at
Baker Mayfield, how he's playing. But people forget like Baker
went and stopped with Sean McVay for a little bit.
And I believe that with god Baker to be who
he is now, right, and Kevin O'Connell, Matt lafleur, what
(23:22):
they're able to do with these young quarterbacks. No, I'm
not surprised that Sam Darnold and also like he stops
with Kyle Shanahan was a little evil genius with you guys,
Kyle double brock perty. So I think for him to,
you know, go to learn under Kyle and then go
over there and learn with a guy like Kevin O'Connell.
Perfect absolutely perfect place. If you're a young quarterback, you
(23:45):
want to be with Kyle Shanahan, Matt Lafour, Sean McVay,
Kevin O'Connell. You want to be with one of those guys.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Well you meant mentioned Lafleura. I mean you got a
couple of wins on the Malik Willis. I don't think
anybody's saw that common Nope, right, I mean we're wondering
if we're looking back to twenty seventeen when Rogers got
hurt and all of a sudden, the season for the
Packers went to hell jay and instead they got two
straight wins.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Yeah, and it's interesting because how he long was like
watch and kill me he's like, man, I was like
Billie Lewis in Tennessee's like, just looks terrible. He's like,
and this is how he told me this, and I
think he said on our show. He's like, it's fart
works awful. And then all of a sudden he sees
him in Green Bay. He's like, I don't know what
Mattliflord did with him already in two weeks, you know,
a couple of weeks there. But his footwork is so
(24:33):
much better than it was. So like, you know, again,
I'm an insider. I'm not a technical guy. Howie Long,
he's a Hall of Famer. I'm gonna listen to him.
And he watches he watches more sold than any human
on the planet. Like how he has no wife except
for is my uber driver. He just watches. He right,
but you know, I take it seriously. They has to
drive me around and do a good job if you
(24:54):
want five stars. But he watches so much film much ridiculous.
He's got a light you want this film? So I
listened in.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
He's Jay Glazer. He's on Twitter at Jay Glazer. Check
out Unbreakable with Jay Glazer, a mental wealth podcast. Who
you got on this week I saw is it Haley
Podge had on?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I got Hanley Page. He's the second biggest wedding just
designer in the world. He's one of my best friends.
But she lost the use of her own name for
three and a half years. She signed and gamble to
designer when she was nineteen and lost her name. Image
of like this, I just got it back. It's the
wild story.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Wow. Check it out. You get the link on James here.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Also, we're at my house right now watching this with Brett.
Michaels is playing at the house.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
I got one of Rams players over here. I got
our producer Bill Riches over here. Hey, Tom and Mike
Tomlinson just walked fast again. Right, Yeah, we got a
little good little crew over here.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Look is Jimmy gonna do the show from your house, Jay.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
He's put on a halftime show for us.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well, post came out all right, so we're waiting for it.
You will have the next Mike, Tomlins, Scoop and Jenn apparently.
Uh No, keep fighting the good fight, buddy. We'll talk
to you next week.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
You enjoy, buddy, be good.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Look at this he stops. I'm hanging out with Brett
Michaels and Mike Tomlins Can I'm gonna call you guys,
we call you knuckleheads, right and come on and talking
early you know, oh man, outstanding stuff from Jay Glazer.
Look you talk about the Kevin O'Connell effect, and and
and look as much as you know, I'm waiting for
the bubble to burst on Sam Niles because I've seen him.
But still, you can't deny what certain coaches are able
(26:39):
to do getting the best they can out of quarterbacks
and that and that's one and that's the thing that's
that's real, is that you are seeing the best that
Sam Darnold has ever played. Right. That's why why I
see Brock Purty playing as well as he can do.
You always get with guys like that that are the
great quarterback gurus. You will they will get their players
to play the best they possibly can. Now, is that
(26:59):
canna be enough for long NFL dominance? Sometimes yes, sometimes no,
But there's no doubt that. Okay, this is a guy
that's going to get everything they can out of him.
And that's why I look, Jay's got the four guys,
the mount Rushmore of head coaches you want to play for.
If you're a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Yeah, but I mean you just take it a step further.
I mean there was more video, you know, justin fields
making the rounds, and he's very quick to just say, hey,
what's the difference coaching? Like, he doesn't hesitate, there's no
pause or awkwardness, just flat out culture coaching. You know,
what's expected of him is very clear. What the system
(27:33):
is going to be is very clear, and where you
have that precision. The Malik Willis thing, to me is
the most fascinating of everything that's transpired in this early season.
Like say Abdnald, we've seen glimpses in the past, as
you say, the three games with the Panthers back in
the day, but Malik Willis looked like a guy that
was lost and wondering what his career is going to be.
And then all of a sudden he's in Green Bay
(27:54):
and he looks like a wizard. I'm like, okay, career resurrected.
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
So, yeah, you have these co which is that that
are able to find the best to figure out what
the easily correctible parts of a quarterback's progressions, how they're
reading things, how they're looking at film is and get
immediate returns. I mean it's absolutely, you know, magnificent and
fun to watch from us because how many times do
(28:19):
we watch people, you know, flail through a year. It's like, yeah,
they're clearly not finding and unlocking that. Because if you
get drafted in the first round, someone saw a bunch
of people saw your talent at one point, right, So
what happens that suddenly you get to the next level
you can't play Sometimes it takes a couple of stops
and someone to really sit down and try to figure
it out. Well, Jay identified the magical quartet that'll be
(28:43):
on Mount Rushmore exit.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
How about a Fresco swallendome. Jason Smith, Mike Harmon live
from the tiraq dot com studios. Time now to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports. Nobody
better well because he's actually here tonight than Steve to say,
who's got what's trending for us?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
That's the good evening.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Dallas beats the Giants in Jersey twenty to fifteen. So
the Giants have lost seventh straight head to head against Dallas,
thirteen of their last fourteen matchups. Apparently, Dak Prescott did
not play one of those, so Dak's on a list
of real rarity for NFL quarterbacks in history. He's beaten
a single opponent in thirteen straight starts. Steve Young beat
(29:20):
the Rams thirteen straight. Tom Brady thirteen straight over the
Bills at one point in his career. Bob Greasy seventeen
straight starts, one against the Bills during his career. For Dallas,
Dak Prescott two touchdown passes in the first half. Malik
neighbors In the lost twelve receptions one hundred and fifteen yards,
but he left late with a concussion. The Giants went
(29:42):
five for five on field goals but no touchdowns. Giants
now one in three, Dallas two and two. Texans running
back Joe Mixon missed practice again with an ankle injury,
and Houston wide receiver Nico Collins was limited today with
a hamstring injury. Eagles wide receiver Aj Brown misspractice with
a bad hampstone ring, and Philadelphia wide out Devonte Smith
(30:02):
did not practice due to his concussion. Lions tight end
Sam Laporta did not practice sprained ankle. Detroit center Frank
Ragno will not play Monday due to his pectoral injury.
Jacksonville tight end Evan Ingram miss practice again with his
bad hamstring, Cardinals tight end Trey McBride miss practice again
with a concussion, and Carolina wide receiver Deontay Johnson misspractice
(30:23):
today with a groin injury, but he expects to play
on Sunday. To Major League Baseball, they're going to the
thirteenth inning at Minnesota. The Twins are tied five to
five against a Marlins team that's already lost one hundred
games this year, but the Twins did get two runs
in the eighth to tie.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Each team scored in.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
The tenth on to the thirteenth, all even at five.
Keep in mind as we head toward this final weekend
of the regular season, the Minnesota Twins are two and
a half games out of the final AL wildcard. Seattle
is eliminated today, Kansas City and Detroit each one. The
Tigers have won five in a row. The Yankees clinched
the AL East crown ten to one over baltimorech and
(31:01):
Carlos Stand with a homer and four RBIs the wind
to Garrett Cole. Aaron Judge hit his fifty eighth home
run of the season, and the Padres lead the Dodgers
in La by a two to nothing score in the
top of the seven. San Diego scored on a groundout
in the fifth and a sackfly in the sixth. Joe
Musgrove with six scoreless innings. Walker Buhler started for the Dodgers,
(31:22):
went five innings, but at San Diego, pitching a shutout.
So far, for the moment, the first place Dodgers are
three games over the Padres in the NL West standings.
Padres play at Arizona starting Tomorrow night for the last
NL wild card. Atlanta is one game out behind Arizona
and the Mets. Yes, Mets at Atlanta rained out again.
Doubleheader Monday scheduled Tomorrow. The Mets will be at Milwaukee.
(31:45):
Keep in mind most teams finished Sunday, and on Sunday,
all the MLB games will be starting at about three
pm Eastern Time. And the Oakland A's at home beat
Texas three to two, the A's last game in Oakland.
They planned to play in Sacramento the next three season
before moved to Las Vegas. In a sad note, Joe Wolf,
former basketball player, has died at age fifty nine. He
(32:06):
was a team captain for Dean Smith at North Carolina.
Wolf had an eleven year NBA career. His death today
announced by the Milwaukee Bucks, who said Joe Wolf died unexpectedly.
Wolfe was an assistant coach for the Bucks G League
affiliate Wisconsin.

Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Coming up next, Yes, we'll get back to everything going
on Thursday Night football. The Cowboys beat the Giants. But anytime,
really late at night a coach gets fired, well we
kind of have to talk about it. That's next, right here,
Jason and Mike, this is Fox Sports Radio.

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Speaker 1 (32:56):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live from the
ti rack dot com Student Videos. Padres lead the Dodgers
two zip bottom of the seventh Dodgers looking to clinch
the NL West with a victory, but Padres throwing some
zero's up so far. We'll have more on this game
coming up in a few minutes. That's true. But you know, hey,
it doesn't matter, doesn't matter when Otani's on deck, doesn't
(33:17):
matter how many out, doesn't matter how many outs there are,
who's on base. He may not ever get up. But whatever.
A coach gets fired, especially late at night, and and
it seems like a news dump. Yeah, we got to
spend a few minutes on it. Uh. In the w
the Chicago Sky have fired head coach Teresa Teresa Weatherspoon
(33:37):
after one year. She's brought in last year. They had
a big year this year coming in they drafted Angel Reese.
Kennedy Carter is a really good player. You know, she
was hurt. They missed her a lot this year. It
was not a great season for the Chicago Sky. They
were expected to be able to contend for that final
playoff spot a little bit more and instead they kind
(34:01):
of just fell apart down the stretch. So before we
get to the Angel Reese part, because she put out
a big statement on Teresa Weatherspoon. It is really weird.
And I'll say that because it's a lot of people
now that are saying, what's going on, How dare you
fire after a year? Look, when you get fired after
one year, there's something that we're not being told from
(34:22):
whatever reason it is. Yes, it was a bad year
for the Sky. They were expected to do better, and
who knows, maybe they looked at the success that the
Indiana Fever had with Caitlin Clark and thought, well, why
can't we have that with Angel Reese, who who you know,
set the league record for rebounds. But when you get
fired after a year, there there's another part to the
story that we don't know, and it could be anything. Right,
(34:43):
I'm not saying it's it's Teresa Weatherspoon. I'm not saying
it's the Sky, but right now, with this being so new,
there is there is something to this story that we
don't know because it doesn't happen after one year without
something that makes you say, oh, well, now I can
understand why, and I don't know what it is, but
trust me, there's something, because it just doesn't happen after
one year, especially when a team is trying to start
(35:03):
over again like the Sky or with these new draft picks.
Remember they got Camilla Cardoso too. They were hoping, hey,
we're back at the bottom, where at ground zero. We're
building up now one year. That's a tough one. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
That's the curiosity of it, right, is that you did
add draft choices. Angel Reese took the Twitter about an
hour ago and had a lengthy one. It's a lot
longer for Twitter. I didn't realize you got this many characters.
Well you can buy that, you know, you can buy
the extra characters now for that ain't happening. Yeah, So
talked about, Hey, the only person that believed in me,
(35:35):
the one that trusted me. Many don't even know what
it's like, and talks about being a black woman in
sports and needing someone to believe in you, et cetera. Uh,
circumstances of the year and believing in her all the
all through it and talking that she Weathersband is an
unsung hero in her life, talking about their relationship and
(35:56):
the you know, people coming into your life season and
all all that stuff and whatever the reason is. But
after a year that you've decided that she needed to
be extricated from from this squad is very curious, right,
And we obviously had questions over the course of the
year in terms of, you know, some of the tactics
(36:17):
maybe by some of the Chicago players in terms of
defending and physicality of play, et cetera. For Angel Reese,
a fantastic rookie year got shortened by injury at the end.
But just that she's got this quick emotional response that
goes up. Angel Reese does into the Twitter verse, seems
(36:39):
like she didn't she got blindsided too. Yeah, right, So
what's the shoe to drop as it goes through? Hopefully
nothing the farious, nothing crazy and not speculating on that,
but as we've seen, there's either an actual obvious plan
in place. Remember when Steve Wilks got fired. Wasn't fair, no,
but they decided they were going to bring in a
coach and a quarterback together with a relationship, right when they
(37:02):
brought in Kyler Murray. Sorry Josh Rose and you were
the loser in that one too. But you know, normally
there's there's an obvious you know, domino effect here, you know,
a chess piece that gets moved here. It seems, at
least in the moment, to be in a vacuum.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, and you know, I'm glad you brought up the
emotion of Angel Reese's post because a lot of it
as Wow, you can see that how it affected her,
and some of it, I say, Okay, I came to
Chicago because of you. You got drafted by you got
drafted there. You know, she was the only person that
believed in me. I'm pretty sure a lot of people
believed in you. You know, you made two million dollars
in an al money at LSU. You No, there are
(37:40):
a lot of.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
People that believed that at an LSU. There's no question
about Kim.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Mokey believed in you. The Chicago Sky believed in you.
They took you number seven. Overall, you turn pro in
a Vogue photo shoot. Okay, so it's a little bit
of Okay, understand little bitya that you you know, this
is this is not it's not so much about you.
I get that this is your emotional but some of
this look at it and I go, okay, well that's
not really true. Well that's not really true. But you
could tell in the end, she is very emotional. This
(38:06):
is something that surprised her. And this is not going
to be the end of this story, like we'll find
out sometime in the coming days, because look, the w
is a big thing now, right, even Caitlin Clark and
the fever. Out of the playoffs, doesn't matter. It's still
a big thing. There's still lots of people watching. This
is a big story. We'll find out about it and
really to get fired after a year, there is another
(38:26):
shoe to drop with this story, and I would assume
in the next few days we'll find out. Curious though,
that this is something that the Chicago Sun Times is
reporting late on a Thursday night, right late on a
Thursday night, when there's you know, the Chicago Sky have
no function scheduled for the next day because they're out
of the playoffs. The weekend comes anytime someone gets let
(38:48):
go late at night, and that's when the story breaks.
I always think, all right, there's a reason why this
story is breaking now and not in the middle of
the day where people make phone calls and have things go.
And this story breaks in the middle of the Cowboys
Jobs game, you know everybody's paying attention to. So, yeah,
there's there's gonna be something else to this story. We're
gonna find out.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah, it's it's the curiosity, right, because it seemed like
she had a good rapport with the players at least
outside looking in right, and got them to play well
in stretches. Obviously, the win lost record wasn't anywhere close
to where you'd want it to be, thinking you'd get
an immediate bounce coming out of the draft. But yeah,
(39:27):
late at night near what eleven o'clock Eastern Eastern time
on a Thursday night, not quite a Friday news dump
A close.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Yeah, we just got the first late night WNBA news though.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
How about that? I mean, that's let's go amazing, It's
a new world. Come on now, Speaking of dumps, the
Padres are now tied.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Uh yes, Will Smith with a home run to center
field to tie the game at two apiece. Dodgers and
Padres too too in the seventh inning. Coming up next,
big actions for the Cowboys and the Giants coming off
of TNF. Keep it right here, Fox,

Hello, Welcome in Side hour two The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon, live from the Tirack
dot com studios. Tyrack dot com help you get there
at unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road has protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirack dot com is
the way tire buying should be. Well. Just under four
(00:50):
minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Despite the fact
they have not scored a touchdown tonight, the Giants are
less than whether five points. Yeah, I'm the Cowboys facing
a big fourth and six down twenty to fifteen. Again,
three and a half to go in the fourth quarter.
(01:10):
Daniel Jones can't throw the ball more than twenty yards
with any sort of accuracy or arm strength, and still
he is carving up the Cowboys as the Dallas allows
them to move up and down the field, but a
big drop there by the Giants on third down. They
got a big decision coming up here on fourth Mike,
I'll tell you, if somehow the Cowboys lose this game
(01:30):
to the Giants, not just this would be this is
way worse than if they lost like thirty eight, thirty seven,
forty one thirty eight. Like the Giants haven't scored an
offensive touchdown at this point, and if the Cowboys find
a way to lose this game, I don't know. I mean,
that's the end of the Cowboys seas. I can't imagine
what it's going to be like at Valley Ranch the
(01:51):
rest of this week and on the rest of the
year losing a game like this. Well, but I mean,
you look at what the Cowboys and coming into this
game a lot about the history and the dominance in
this series, Dable, you know, winless sere against the Cowboys,
all these things, Daniel Jones in non Sunday games, all
of these data points.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
We go back to Week one, Remember when they beat
up on the Cleveland Browns. Did the Cowboys what did
we say coming out of it. It's like, oh, that
was all finding good. Can they finish drives? I love
Brandon Aubury. I think it's great post Malon's running around
with his jersey, getting them to sign up before the
game at midfield and all that fun stuff. But you
need to score touchdowns. You had the big play to
Ceedee Lamb. Otherwise it's been pedestrian all night long for
(02:34):
this offense. All those penalties, the pre snap penalty count
is ridiculous. These guys would be running for days. Just
keep going. You owe me five laps for every time
you do something dumb, because you got a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Here.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Dak's twenty two of twenty seven, two hundred and twenty
one yards, dink and dunk, right, except for the fifty
five yarder. Ric O'Donnell's finally up to forty one yards.
It's looking a bit more respectable as the game's gone on,
but they can't run the ball. The first three weeks
of the season, that's been a disaster. Here is a
little more breathing room and it looks better cosmetically, but
(03:09):
overall they still have a lot of issues. They just
showed a graphic with Andrew Thomas against Micah Parsons fourteen
one on one matchups only one pressure allowed. Now he
did a great move against him on a run play
to blow things up. That now sets up eventually this
fourth and sixth. But Cowboys are not out of the woods.
This is one where you're hoping to succeed and proceed.
(03:29):
Just get out of here and escape because you still
got a lot of work to do.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
This would just be a disaster for the Cowboys to
lose this game. Yeah, but it's good business for us
oh Man to sell the team. He might, he might
sell it to the John Fisher tonight. Yeah, and pro
John Fisher.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
And scoring a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, they move it to Oakland. Fe'll be perfect. They'll
play in the Colisee. It'll be perfect. It'd be great,
it'd be awesome.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I'm honeyt Room. You could take the tarps off of
Mount Davis. Here's the question from the final game though,
if they'd untarped those sections, could they have sold them
out today?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh? You know, I don't know about that because right before,
like I watched all the pregame and and watch the game,
and I'm watching the pregame going, yeah, they get ready
to start and there's still a lot of seats that
are unfilled, and you know, maybe people are out doing
things and getting food. Yeah, at the tailgate are going
to be in their seats. So yeah, I think if
they if they bared running late, I don't I don't
(04:27):
think they capped anything. I think they said okay, let's
do it here, and then they because if they wanted
to and they were able to uncover the seats in
you know, really high up uh in Mount Davis, I
don't think that they would have they would have said no.
So I got to think that, yeah, okay, we're gonna
we're gonna tap this out here around forty six forty
seven thousand.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But it looked good on TV. A lot of pomp
and circumstance, a couple of jackasses running on the field.
I mean we did ask the over under question yesterday
how many people would run onto the field before the
final out? Not nearly as many as you thought.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, it looked at the the whole thing today was crazy.
And again we'll have an update on the Cowboys Giants
game coming up in a couple minutes. Again, just under
three and a half to go. Cowboys are going to
wind up getting the football back as the Giants don't
get it on fourth down. Meanwhile, Micah Parsons was just
helped off the field with an injury. We'll have updates
on that. He was able to walk off under his
(05:20):
own power, but he was down for a while before
he came off the field. Looked like some kind of
lower body injury, but again we'll have more on that
coming up. Giants go for it on fourth down. Molak
Neighbors is not able to come down with the ball
and he is also hurt on the sideline as well.
Maybe he landed on the football, hoping that's what it was,
because it looks like that's what it was, but again
(05:42):
he's being looked at on the sidelines. We'll have more
on this coming up in a few minutes. But look,
the thing with the A's today is it was really
something to watch because it was everything a day like
today should be. There was e motion, there was bitterness,
there was people being at peace, there was happiness, there
(06:03):
was sadness. There was a great look back in the
past of the of the team and it's and it's
great players Dave Stewart, Ricky Henderson were on the field.
There were high jinks with fans going green smoke bombs
on the field the ninth inning, and the A's won
the game, and I could sit here. I could have
sat here and watched just the crowd shots for the
entire three hours of the game, because it's Raleigh Fingers jerseys,
(06:26):
and sal Bando jerseys, and and McGuire and and and jerseys,
and some canse CooA see even some Conseco jerseys, Ricky
Henderson jerseys. It was just a really great day to say,
how do we end something? Because looks, as Ironman told us,
part of the journey is the end, right and and
it was ending today and you couldn't stop that. So
(06:46):
the best thing you could hope for was let's have
the best kind of send off we can. And I
think we got that today, I really do. And it's
and it's really it's you know a lot of emotions
going through me, you know, seeing the A's leave, uh,
you know, and and thinking about the great teams. You know,
when you and I were both kids in the eighties
and early nineties, the Ages were the best team in baseball,
and you know, there were lights out and it was
(07:08):
it was the Bash Brothers and Ricky Henderson and eckers
Lee and these great teams, and then they got another
burst of fame with Moneyball that carried them for a decade.
And and and to see them leave after all the
mismanagement and and and the less than altruistic motivations of
John Fisher and major League Baseball, it was. It was
(07:29):
a lot to take in today. But I feel like,
you know, getting to watch this, like I walked away
from it saying, yeah, that was that was a great
I feel fulfilled in the way it ended, because again,
with endings, you can only have good ending. Let's try
to end it the best way possible, because the end
is here no matter what. I think that was kind
of the best way they could have ended well.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
And I think that's it. You know, everybody, you hit
that level of acceptance, it's a long time coming, and
you wait for the stay of execution all of that stuff,
and you know it's the than oschnap. It was inevitable,
just a matter of you know, closing things up and
how you put a pin in it. Now, the idiots
with smoke bombs and whatever, they can beat it. The
other idiots running down on the field beat it. The
(08:08):
chair stealing thing is kind of funny, but again, you're
a menace and indicative of the problems that we've got
all over the place. But when you look at it
from a fan perspective, being a White Sox guy in Chicago, right,
small but loud contingent of fans, and they certainly made
themselves seen and heard the last couple of home games
(08:30):
as they sweep the Angels to send the Angels to
their worst record ever. So at least there was one
record created today in that game as the White Sox
blot at the Angels. But you know, always would go
see the Socks and look, Yahoo had tickets. So I
spent a lot of days when my then wife was
(08:50):
working abroad. It's like, all right, what are we doing. Well,
I'm gonna go to the game because they gave me tickets.
You guys want to come, and we'd go. I think
I saw one White Socks winning all the years I
was there, from the late nineties into the into like
two thousand and five, when yeah, no, it really does
play in line with today's White Sox, the hits of
yesterday and today. But you know, a lot of bobblehead games.
(09:13):
I still have a lot of those A's bobbleheads of
Tim Hudson and Miguel Tahata and all those guys from
back in the day. But it was they again, small
fan base, and they would come out, you know, on
the weekend you'd get some pretty huge crowds, non giants
days where people would get out there. But they love
their team, right. Banjo man, he was there today. That
(09:35):
was a guy that was painting playing the banjo when
I was there, and he looked like he was one
hundred and five then, so I can only imagine it
looks like a used leather football. Yeah, no, he's seen
a lot of sun. He got stompered, the mascot riding
around the elephant, I mean all of that stuff. As
much of a hole as it was, it was still
a cool place to go see a game because you're
looking at Mount Davis, you look at just you think
(09:58):
of the history of the place, the goofiness of the
football field and baseball time and all of those things.
And today it wraps up. So you know, bittersweet, right,
because curious to see what the next iteration is, whether
they actually ever get to Vegas, But it'll be an
interesting job.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
They may come back. They May. It's a Sacramento. Things
not working out. We can't get a stam in Vegas. Hey, guys,
guess what I'm coming back. That would happen with the
new owner, like baseball would actually listen, you can't go
back there, but a new owner could bring the team back,
and we have baseball back in Oakland. Telling you don't
let that place go to the possums yet. Man, you
got at least once a month have somebody go through
and clear some stuff out. Man, keep don't let that
(10:36):
place turn into the Silver Dome. You may need that
at some point because that the possums. They're already planning
that takeover. Okay, last game we had it. It's done.
There's no more games out of there's any more concerts,
there's nothing else we're taking over it. No, you gotta
fight the possums.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Think of the most ugliest, worst place ever with the
worst smell ever. Yeah, and that's the Colisseum. I mean
standing water always no matter where what time of year
it was like it hasn't rained in three months, doesn't
matter you work violations they did in that booth.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Couldn't eat a place though, Man couldn't eat a place
when Vegas doesn't work out, you're not staying in Sacramento.
That's not I.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Will say that. Sh it was funny, like they had
two sets of things, right, so you had tickets to
the new Giant Stadium, all that was great, and then
you had they had a suite at the A's game,
and then a couple of random tickets right four here,
and then sometimes you'd get the box. And let me
tell you, the luxury boxes at the Oakland Alameda County Stadium,
they were that name only it was just a bunch
(11:36):
of seats. There's nothing special going on there, you know,
nothing like you see in all these other stadiums where
it's made up like a hotel suite, ready to welcome
you in and be all excepted. Now it's like just
gray walls, come on in, paint, shipping, you name it.
And that's again. I'm going back to two thousand and three,
two thousand and four when I would make regular runs
(11:57):
to Oakland. But you a long, long story history, very cool,
odd stadium.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
They made a movie about the team. They don't make
they they made movies about the egg. He's up in
one movie about the Mets.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
It's not different, show up in one of the Avengers movie.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Well, they did show and Men in Black, there were
Bernard Gilkey was in Men and Right, but this was yeah,
but this was about the entire also down on Mets
fans in Shark Nado. This was a movie about the A's.
I mean, I can't believe part of the video tributes
they kept showing all day. They didn't show the Chris
Pratt version of the Haddiberg.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
No, it's bring in Pratt, don't seymore off. But it's
just clapping like, oh my goodness, week just won. Brad
Pitt is doing all the exercises. Like really, that's the
legacy of the A's now, Like if I when when
when people tell the Moneyballs, you know, it's a huge movie.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
In my house. My daughter and I quote it all
the time. Like what I had to tell her today
that hey, this is the last game in Oakland because
they're moving. She goes, what they're moving? Oh, yeah, they're moving.
She was like, oh wow. She kind I didn't really
put two and two together. She goes, she's not gonna
play there anymore. Like the A's are done. I said, yeah,
the A's are done. We'll always have Moneyball. But the
A's are done. It really was was a difficult thing.
But I mean that at least that part of it
(13:13):
for the A's is gonna live forever. I mean, maybe
maybe that's the lasting image. It's not eckers Lee, it's
not it's not the Bash Brothers. It's not the back
to back to back in seventy two, seventy three, seventy four.
It's not Connie Mac It's Moneyball. It's the movie Moneyball.
It's Brad Pitt, it's Jonahill. Maybe maybe that's a legacy.
That's the lasting image. And the song Guys, I'm gonna
(13:36):
point a Pete again. If you don't, I'm gonna point
a Pete again. Exit, how about a Fresca exit, Swollen Dome?
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend night carment.
But today was it looked it was as good a
day as you could expect to have, considering everything going
on in motion. Gave you all the thing.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, we'll come back and rip on the decision and
everything else later.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Now, a couple of quick things from Thursday Night football.
Micah Parsons just went off the field on a cart.
He had his left shoe and sock off was it
I stop stop stop, wasn't wasn't supported by anything? Because
I watched it. I'm saying what I saw on television.
(14:16):
Would you see when Aaron Rodgers went down after four
last year? Goes stop? People need to know stuff like this. Okay,
I did not just your crazy ass anime version of sports.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
All right, I'm sorry. What do you have against anime.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Just saying that's how you see sports is like through
anime figures. So Parsons was taken off on a cart. Again,
his left leg was not supported by anything, but he
did have his shoe off. The sock off. Also, Maleik
Neighbors was taken to the locker room following the fourth
down play by the Giants that did not get a
(14:51):
first down. I'm not sure if he landed on the ball,
not sure if what the injury was. He did walk
to the locker room under his own power. So we
had Mike Parsons and Malik Neighbors just leave the field.
There are thirty seconds left. The Cowboys just missed a
field goal that could have given them an eight point lead,
so the Giants will have pretty good field position, no timeouts,
(15:15):
and twenty nine seconds to try to get the game
winning score and put a fork in the Cowboys season.
In week four, we got that, We got Jay Glazer
coming up next. Boy, the stress level for the Cowboys
has just hit an all time high. That's next, right here,
Jason and Mike. You are listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
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 (15:47):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live from the
tire Rack dot Com studios. Well, it wasn't pretty, but
it was rock and roll at least. That's the Cowboys
are going to say. They outlast the New York Giants
to get a needed win tonight on Thursday Night Football.
Daniel Jones is picked off on the Giants' final drive
of the night to preserve the Cowboys twenty to fifteen victory.
(16:11):
Dak Prescott two touchdowns, the Giants kick five field goals.
Now what Well, the best person to talk to is
joining us now in the Hotline NFL on Fox. Inside
are extraordinary, Jay Glazer. Jay, I got to say, if
I'm the Cowboys, I look at this game and I go, Okay,
last couple of weeks were bad. We got the win
we needed, but wow, I don't feel as great after
(16:33):
this game as I thought I would.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
No, obviously, Also, you know, Michael Parkson's going down. Man,
that's oh, that's a scary loss for them. You know, listen, offensively,
I actually think they've had a good season, but even
like last week, you know, for them to get beat
up so much against Baltimore and everybody's kind of killing them,
I kind of looking like, man, they fought back. I
kind of looked him like they were gritty, and I was.
(16:57):
I guess I was kind of like on the outside
looking in on that. But you know, they needed something
for their defense. You know what, I don't think like
people just said, Okay, dan Quinn left and you know,
Mike zimmers in and hey, that's fine, And they didn't
really give enough credit for the loss of dan Quinn.
I mean, love than dan Quinn is. This guy's only
(17:17):
had success on defense wherever he's on. And he brought
up you Atlanta Falcon's to super Bowl right and we're
you know, maybe a running play away from winning, except
for our teammate, you know, Tom Brady but dan Quinn
what he did over there, it's people just kind of said, Okay,
they replaced one veteran coach with another one and it's
going to be fine. And I just think that people
(17:40):
kind of took it for granted, and you saw it
like tonight, defensively, they stepped up and that's what they need.
And Mike zimmers that he's always been a damn good
defensive coach. But you know, when you'll replace one system
with another, it does take usually time for guys to
I don't know if it's sometimes it's buy in, but
sometimes it's also just believe in the system. And you're
(18:02):
kind of hurt guys saying it a little bit last
week in the last couple of weeks. I remember, you know,
the Giants their Super Bowl year with Strahan's year, they
gave up fifty points a game in the first two
games for under Steve spagnoway, he was a defense coinator,
And I remember Straighthan and Dustin Tucking, and I think
Antonio Pierce kind of telling me that they basically went
(18:22):
to the team and they said, hey, we we gotta
believe fully, like we can't be ninety percent or ninety
five percent in. We got to believe fully what we're doing,
because they were kind of like ninety percent in, but
they're holding off. You know, if you're if you're not
one hundred percent in and you run a four to four,
you're gonna end up running a five to four, you
know what I mean. And they just bought in, and
(18:44):
obviously that defense took them all the way to Super
Bowl Championship. And I think these Cowboys players, it's not
Dan Klin's defense. They got to say, Okay, we have
to buy in fully to Mike Zimmer's defense, whatever we
think of it, if we want to have any chance
of success. Now, I think to I was at least
to start.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
One thing I guess noticeable both the offensive line and
defensive line. Jay. I mean, even if they didn't run
the ball particularly well early, they were at least firing
and given Dack time to operate, which hasn't always been
the case. And as you said, on the defensive.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Side, the running game too, like they don't have they
don't have a horse back there right, you know, I'm
a bell coal. They don't have somebody you can you
can rely on. And I know they said about Derrick Henry.
And look, the truth is the other cap was messed
up because I had a way for Dak and CD
and and everybody else. You know, people say, well, you
should have gotten done earlier, but there's always a game
(19:33):
when it comes to, you know, the cellar chap. But yeah,
I think that's the one thing I wish they would
have had is a you know, they let Tony Powler
go and that's a Pro Bowl running back, and you know,
replacing with Zeke a couple of years later, it's not
the same Zeke he was years ago. I think kind
of Dallas gets a little sentimental on some of their
guys like Zeke and think he could still bring that
same magic, and he's just not the same guy.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Jay, What do you take away from the Giants after tonight?
Daniel Jones moved the ball, but it looked like he
really had trouble throwing it deep. You had Molik Neighbors
get injured to cancuts it off the field.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
There.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They certainly have some ways to proceed because Daniel Jones
has big money guaranteed for injury. What's your big takeaway
from the Giants after this?
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Yeah, Daniel Jones, they can move on from Venue after
this season. But I think, you know, it's just kind
of glaring of like you he some Sakuana singletary, it's
not Man's. That's a huge drop off. You know, I'm
and I'm sitting here saying the same thing about Dallas,
right man. They really needed that running back to protect
you know, it was interesting, like it's you know, I
(20:36):
think Joe Shantington in that in that Hard Knocks I
don't want to you know, forty million dollars quarterback hand
off for twenty million dollar running back to your best friend.
For a forty million dollar quarterback is twenty million dollar
running back. That's what's going to help you the.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Most, especially as you try to push forward with what
Daniel Jones is and move him as a player. How
about we stay in division though, jay big performance coming
out party for Jayden Daniels, pushing the ball downfield, spreading
it around. They lose Eckler, he'll be out this week,
but you still have Robinson and all those receivers. But
Daniel's stepping up into the moment and Daniels.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
What I just talked about dan Quinn, Like dan Quinn
is such a culture builder, loves to go to work
every day with dani Quinn like every day is a
happy day. And in the NFL, you know, have these
coaches just beat up on you. And you know, I
talked to a lot of coaches about this, saying, listen, guys,
those days of beating up on guys got to be gone.
Because they get beat up on Twitter every day, they
(21:31):
get beat up on social media all day long. Things
are just not authentic and they're lives anymore. So if
you're authentic and man, you have this culture of just
loving them up kind of what they need now, and
that's what dan Quinn is. But a guy like Jaden Daniels, man,
they were I will tell you this. They were locked
in on Jayden Daniels really shortly after the combine. Okay,
(21:53):
they were locked in on him. And there's a lot
of teams that thought they had a l and the
Raiders really wanted them. The Giants obviously would have loved
there's a sponsor teams who called for Jayden Daniels and
right out of the gate, dan Quinn Adam Peter's like,
no shot, he's our guy. It wasn't even like there
(22:14):
was no there was no hey hammer Drake may or j. J. McCarthy.
It never was. They were locked in on Jayden Daniels
very early in the process and always thought he's gonna
be a stuff. But there's a lot of teams that
were too and they all were trying to make a run,
and Washington was like, absolutely knows that they never entertained anything.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Jake Glazer with Us the Jason Smizer with Mike Carmon
Live at the Tyreck dot Com Studios. All right, let's
go back to your scoopage that you had earlier this
week that hey, Sam Donald looks okay, looks like optimistic.
He's going to play against Green Bay a huge game
this week. I think everybody's surprised at what they've seen
from Sam Donald so far. Jay where are you?
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Man? I'm not proud when I see something with Kevin
O'Connell or Matt Lafour. They're playing right, like, look at
these two guys, and look look at the tree they're
front really sel McVay, and people never like, look at
Baker Mayfield, how he's playing. But people forget like Baker
went and stopped with Sean McVay for a little bit.
And I believe that with god Baker to be who
he is now, right, and Kevin O'Connell, Matt lafleur, what
(23:22):
they're able to do with these young quarterbacks. No, I'm
not surprised that Sam Darnold and also like he stops
with Kyle Shanahan was a little evil genius with you guys,
Kyle double brock perty. So I think for him to,
you know, go to learn under Kyle and then go
over there and learn with a guy like Kevin O'Connell.
Perfect absolutely perfect place. If you're a young quarterback, you
(23:45):
want to be with Kyle Shanahan, Matt Lafour, Sean McVay,
Kevin O'Connell. You want to be with one of those guys.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Well you meant mentioned Lafleura. I mean you got a
couple of wins on the Malik Willis. I don't think
anybody's saw that common Nope, right, I mean we're wondering
if we're looking back to twenty seventeen when Rogers got
hurt and all of a sudden, the season for the
Packers went to hell jay and instead they got two
straight wins.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Yeah, and it's interesting because how he long was like
watch and kill me he's like, man, I was like
Billie Lewis in Tennessee's like, just looks terrible. He's like,
and this is how he told me this, and I
think he said on our show. He's like, it's fart
works awful. And then all of a sudden he sees
him in Green Bay. He's like, I don't know what
Mattliflord did with him already in two weeks, you know,
a couple of weeks there. But his footwork is so
(24:33):
much better than it was. So like, you know, again,
I'm an insider. I'm not a technical guy. Howie Long,
he's a Hall of Famer. I'm gonna listen to him.
And he watches he watches more sold than any human
on the planet. Like how he has no wife except
for is my uber driver. He just watches. He right,
but you know, I take it seriously. They has to
drive me around and do a good job if you
(24:54):
want five stars. But he watches so much film much ridiculous.
He's got a light you want this film? So I
listened in.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
He's Jay Glazer. He's on Twitter at Jay Glazer. Check
out Unbreakable with Jay Glazer, a mental wealth podcast. Who
you got on this week I saw is it Haley
Podge had on?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I got Hanley Page. He's the second biggest wedding just
designer in the world. He's one of my best friends.
But she lost the use of her own name for
three and a half years. She signed and gamble to
designer when she was nineteen and lost her name. Image
of like this, I just got it back. It's the
wild story.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Wow. Check it out. You get the link on James here.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Also, we're at my house right now watching this with Brett.
Michaels is playing at the house.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
I got one of Rams players over here. I got
our producer Bill Riches over here. Hey, Tom and Mike
Tomlinson just walked fast again. Right, Yeah, we got a
little good little crew over here.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Look is Jimmy gonna do the show from your house, Jay.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
He's put on a halftime show for us.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well, post came out all right, so we're waiting for it.
You will have the next Mike, Tomlins, Scoop and Jenn apparently.
Uh No, keep fighting the good fight, buddy. We'll talk
to you next week.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
You enjoy, buddy, be good.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Look at this he stops. I'm hanging out with Brett
Michaels and Mike Tomlins Can I'm gonna call you guys,
we call you knuckleheads, right and come on and talking
early you know, oh man, outstanding stuff from Jay Glazer.
Look you talk about the Kevin O'Connell effect, and and
and look as much as you know, I'm waiting for
the bubble to burst on Sam Niles because I've seen him.
But still, you can't deny what certain coaches are able
(26:39):
to do getting the best they can out of quarterbacks
and that and that's one and that's the thing that's
that's real, is that you are seeing the best that
Sam Darnold has ever played. Right. That's why why I
see Brock Purty playing as well as he can do.
You always get with guys like that that are the
great quarterback gurus. You will they will get their players
to play the best they possibly can. Now, is that
(26:59):
canna be enough for long NFL dominance? Sometimes yes, sometimes no,
But there's no doubt that. Okay, this is a guy
that's going to get everything they can out of him.
And that's why I look, Jay's got the four guys,
the mount Rushmore of head coaches you want to play for.
If you're a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Yeah, but I mean you just take it a step further.
I mean there was more video, you know, justin fields
making the rounds, and he's very quick to just say, hey,
what's the difference coaching? Like, he doesn't hesitate, there's no
pause or awkwardness, just flat out culture coaching. You know,
what's expected of him is very clear. What the system
(27:33):
is going to be is very clear, and where you
have that precision. The Malik Willis thing, to me is
the most fascinating of everything that's transpired in this early season.
Like say Abdnald, we've seen glimpses in the past, as
you say, the three games with the Panthers back in
the day, but Malik Willis looked like a guy that
was lost and wondering what his career is going to be.
And then all of a sudden he's in Green Bay
(27:54):
and he looks like a wizard. I'm like, okay, career resurrected.
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
So, yeah, you have these co which is that that
are able to find the best to figure out what
the easily correctible parts of a quarterback's progressions, how they're
reading things, how they're looking at film is and get
immediate returns. I mean it's absolutely, you know, magnificent and
fun to watch from us because how many times do
(28:19):
we watch people, you know, flail through a year. It's like, yeah,
they're clearly not finding and unlocking that. Because if you
get drafted in the first round, someone saw a bunch
of people saw your talent at one point, right, So
what happens that suddenly you get to the next level
you can't play Sometimes it takes a couple of stops
and someone to really sit down and try to figure
it out. Well, Jay identified the magical quartet that'll be
(28:43):
on Mount Rushmore exit.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
How about a Fresco swallendome. Jason Smith, Mike Harmon live
from the tiraq dot com studios. Time now to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports. Nobody
better well because he's actually here tonight than Steve to say,
who's got what's trending for us?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
That's the good evening.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Dallas beats the Giants in Jersey twenty to fifteen. So
the Giants have lost seventh straight head to head against Dallas,
thirteen of their last fourteen matchups. Apparently, Dak Prescott did
not play one of those, so Dak's on a list
of real rarity for NFL quarterbacks in history. He's beaten
a single opponent in thirteen straight starts. Steve Young beat
(29:20):
the Rams thirteen straight. Tom Brady thirteen straight over the
Bills at one point in his career. Bob Greasy seventeen
straight starts, one against the Bills during his career. For Dallas,
Dak Prescott two touchdown passes in the first half. Malik
neighbors In the lost twelve receptions one hundred and fifteen yards,
but he left late with a concussion. The Giants went
(29:42):
five for five on field goals but no touchdowns. Giants
now one in three, Dallas two and two. Texans running

on Sunday. To Major League Baseball, they're going to the
thirteenth inning at Minnesota. The Twins are tied five to
five against a Marlins team that's already lost one hundred
games this year, but the Twins did get two runs
in the eighth to tie.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Each team scored in.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
The tenth on to the thirteenth, all even at five.
Keep in mind as we head toward this final weekend
of the regular season, the Minnesota Twins are two and
a half games out of the final AL wildcard. Seattle

Tigers have won five in a row. The Yankees clinched
the AL East crown ten to one over baltimorech and

Wolf had an eleven year NBA career. His death today

kind of have to talk about it. That's next, right here,
Jason and Mike, this is Fox Sports Radio.

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Speaker 1 (32:56):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live from the
ti rack dot com Student Videos. Padres lead the Dodgers
two zip bottom of the seventh Dodgers looking to clinch
the NL West with a victory, but Padres throwing some
zero's up so far. We'll have more on this game
coming up in a few minutes. That's true. But you know, hey,
it doesn't matter, doesn't matter when Otani's on deck, doesn't
(33:17):
matter how many out, doesn't matter how many outs there are,
who's on base. He may not ever get up. But whatever.
A coach gets fired, especially late at night, and and
it seems like a news dump. Yeah, we got to
spend a few minutes on it. Uh. In the w
the Chicago Sky have fired head coach Teresa Teresa Weatherspoon
(33:37):
after one year. She's brought in last year. They had
a big year this year coming in they drafted Angel Reese.
Kennedy Carter is a really good player. You know, she
was hurt. They missed her a lot this year. It
was not a great season for the Chicago Sky. They
were expected to be able to contend for that final
playoff spot a little bit more and instead they kind
(34:01):
of just fell apart down the stretch. So before we
get to the Angel Reese part, because she put out
a big statement on Teresa Weatherspoon. It is really weird.
And I'll say that because it's a lot of people
now that are saying, what's going on, How dare you
fire after a year? Look, when you get fired after
one year, there's something that we're not being told from
(34:22):
whatever reason it is. Yes, it was a bad year
for the Sky. They were expected to do better, and
who knows, maybe they looked at the success that the
Indiana Fever had with Caitlin Clark and thought, well, why
can't we have that with Angel Reese, who who you know,
set the league record for rebounds. But when you get
fired after a year, there there's another part to the
story that we don't know, and it could be anything. Right,
(34:43):
I'm not saying it's it's Teresa Weatherspoon. I'm not saying
it's the Sky, but right now, with this being so new,
there is there is something to this story that we
don't know because it doesn't happen after one year without
something that makes you say, oh, well, now I can
understand why, and I don't know what it is, but
trust me, there's something, because it just doesn't happen after
one year, especially when a team is trying to start
(35:03):
over again like the Sky or with these new draft picks.
Remember they got Camilla Cardoso too. They were hoping, hey,
we're back at the bottom, where at ground zero. We're
building up now one year. That's a tough one. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
That's the curiosity of it, right, is that you did
add draft choices. Angel Reese took the Twitter about an
hour ago and had a lengthy one. It's a lot
longer for Twitter. I didn't realize you got this many characters.
Well you can buy that, you know, you can buy
the extra characters now for that ain't happening. Yeah, So
talked about, Hey, the only person that believed in me,
(35:35):
the one that trusted me. Many don't even know what
it's like, and talks about being a black woman in
sports and needing someone to believe in you, et cetera. Uh,
circumstances of the year and believing in her all the
all through it and talking that she Weathersband is an
unsung hero in her life, talking about their relationship and
(35:56):
the you know, people coming into your life season and
all all that stuff and whatever the reason is. But
after a year that you've decided that she needed to
be extricated from from this squad is very curious, right,
And we obviously had questions over the course of the
year in terms of, you know, some of the tactics
(36:17):
maybe by some of the Chicago players in terms of
defending and physicality of play, et cetera. For Angel Reese,
a fantastic rookie year got shortened by injury at the end.
But just that she's got this quick emotional response that
goes up. Angel Reese does into the Twitter verse, seems
(36:39):
like she didn't she got blindsided too. Yeah, right, So
what's the shoe to drop as it goes through? Hopefully
nothing the farious, nothing crazy and not speculating on that,
but as we've seen, there's either an actual obvious plan
in place. Remember when Steve Wilks got fired. Wasn't fair, no,
but they decided they were going to bring in a
coach and a quarterback together with a relationship, right when they
(37:02):
brought in Kyler Murray. Sorry Josh Rose and you were
the loser in that one too. But you know, normally
there's there's an obvious you know, domino effect here, you know,
a chess piece that gets moved here. It seems, at
least in the moment, to be in a vacuum.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, and you know, I'm glad you brought up the
emotion of Angel Reese's post because a lot of it
as Wow, you can see that how it affected her,
and some of it, I say, Okay, I came to
Chicago because of you. You got drafted by you got
drafted there. You know, she was the only person that
believed in me. I'm pretty sure a lot of people
believed in you. You know, you made two million dollars
in an al money at LSU. You No, there are
(37:40):
a lot of.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
People that believed that at an LSU. There's no question
about Kim.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Mokey believed in you. The Chicago Sky believed in you.
They took you number seven. Overall, you turn pro in
a Vogue photo shoot. Okay, so it's a little bit
of Okay, understand little bitya that you you know, this
is this is not it's not so much about you.
I get that this is your emotional but some of
this look at it and I go, okay, well that's
not really true. Well that's not really true. But you
could tell in the end, she is very emotional. This
(38:06):
is something that surprised her. And this is not going
to be the end of this story, like we'll find
out sometime in the coming days, because look, the w
is a big thing now, right, even Caitlin Clark and
the fever. Out of the playoffs, doesn't matter. It's still
a big thing. There's still lots of people watching. This
is a big story. We'll find out about it and
really to get fired after a year, there is another
(38:26):
shoe to drop with this story, and I would assume
in the next few days we'll find out. Curious though,
that this is something that the Chicago Sun Times is
reporting late on a Thursday night, right late on a
Thursday night, when there's you know, the Chicago Sky have
no function scheduled for the next day because they're out
of the playoffs. The weekend comes anytime someone gets let
(38:48):
go late at night, and that's when the story breaks.
I always think, all right, there's a reason why this
story is breaking now and not in the middle of
the day where people make phone calls and have things go.
And this story breaks in the middle of the Cowboys
Jobs game, you know everybody's paying attention to. So, yeah,
there's there's gonna be something else to this story. We're
gonna find out.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah, it's it's the curiosity, right, because it seemed like
she had a good rapport with the players at least
outside looking in right, and got them to play well
in stretches. Obviously, the win lost record wasn't anywhere close
to where you'd want it to be, thinking you'd get
an immediate bounce coming out of the draft. But yeah,
(39:27):
late at night near what eleven o'clock Eastern Eastern time
on a Thursday night, not quite a Friday news dump
A close.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Yeah, we just got the first late night WNBA news though.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
How about that? I mean, that's let's go amazing, It's
a new world. Come on now, Speaking of dumps, the
Padres are now tied.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Uh yes, Will Smith with a home run to center
field to tie the game at two apiece. Dodgers and
Padres too too in the seventh inning. Coming up next,
big actions for the Cowboys and the Giants coming off
of TNF. Keep it right here, Fox,
