the YouTube video that goes right into a Seinfeld thing.

So's we get double the funny.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
You can't just play the tell Allen though, No, no, no,
we're gonna play it. So it it trips the beginning
of the next video, which is signed.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
Have you never seen Forrest Gump?
Speaker 7 (01:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (01:04):
Remember when he's running and the guy wipes his face
with it and he makes like the happy face thing.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
That was an accident.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Yeah, No, that's an accident.
Speaker 8 (01:10):
This this is it's better because it accidentally seinfelt.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
This this is you just being lazy and not going wow, Wow,
I'm Steve Carrelzing.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Did you just do that?
Speaker 9 (01:21):
Huh?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
We're two minutes into the show and you're calling my
man the hell kind of day is it gonna be?
Speaker 7 (01:26):
Now?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I am getting trolled on the greatest day of my life?
How did you get trolled?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
This?
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Is it out?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Jason? Guess what?
Speaker 8 (01:35):
I had many touchdowns as Aaron Rodgers did yesterday? You
feel good about that?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
That that was yesterday?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
That was you know what you guys exchanged? That was off.
I'd like to reset. How was yesterday? Mike?
Speaker 6 (01:46):
He came in here and pushed me.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
We have whoa we are going back. We have no
cadence problems. So there's a lot of day's problem. Look
at him, his eyes are wide. You've besmirched his name.
Two minutes in I did not. You called him lazy,
So I said, what what?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
He is?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
A lazy thing? He's there. It's not a cardboard cutout
or an AI or an animatronic.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I don't think pop. Tell me you don't like the base.
What is the next thing? What is the Seinfeld bit
that comes off of that?
Speaker 7 (02:15):
What?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
What? What is it?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I think it's just the song. Oh okay, me here
real quick.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Alan that the Mets suck, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
It isn't and Aaron Rodgers touchdown feels good.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
I'll tell you these teams, the Yankees look at the
Mets all of a sudden they're winning. Who are these people?
Little Francisco Lindor, how do they not get him?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
They and all these other guys nobody can pitch and
they're playing Gane Carlos ten three hundred million dollars a year.
Speaker 8 (02:45):
What's the deal of asking me if I want to
swim on spirit airlines?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I don't understand they had it. Hey, how much did
you hate Edwin Diaz?
Speaker 10 (02:53):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Ill ten minute? I'll tell you because I mean, you tweeted,
I hate baseball and a man in a record time.
Then I tweeted that love baseball because that's how well.
But you hated it and it really took you to
the pits of despair. And then you started tweeting at
like our guy Todd Furman tweeted at and mocking braise
fans like don't be that ud. Let me tell you no, no,
(03:14):
it's it's the best and worst fandom. I appreciate but
then you became that guy. No kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
When I had to watch Michael Harris standing the dugout
after Albi's's big, big three run double and he's doing
the making fun of the Mets celebration when you get
a hit, I'm like, okay, how did that work out
for you?
Speaker 7 (03:33):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
And I was okay with I was.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I was okay with that when I when I when
I watched Solaire slide dirty into a glaciers at third
base and slide past the bag in the second game.
That's what the Braids do. That's what the Braves are.
It's what they did. So I was absolutely okay with it.
That's to the second game and you might as well
just quit.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
But buddy, I'll tell you this, Pam says to me.
I mean, Chris Sale gets scratched back spasms, I got
some things on some people that lost some bets because
of that. Let me tell you what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
What are we gonna do? We got we gotta gotta rest.
We have a game tomorrow night. We got a playoff
game that matters. Be an opportunity to keep your phones.
I hope the Braves beating.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Oh I would we're not going to play them. No,
I would have loved that beat that ass I would stop.
The Brewers won all their games against this past weekend.
Uh Pam says to me when she goes, what's the
lineup gonna be? I go, are you cold?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
There's gonna be guys playing that haven't played inside I
can't even tell you. And she looks at the lineup
and she goes, wow, there's some of these players. I've
never heard you talk about it. I go, yeah, that's
what is. She goes, I got I got new knees
now because you got knee replacedment a couple of years.
You think if I fly down to Atlanta to let
me play, that's the Mets put you right in the lineup.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 6 (04:40):
You play?
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Go?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Go play third base. You'll be great. Wow, you'll be awesome.
Everything is awesome.
Speaker 10 (04:45):
And another grand slam by Oh yeah, well, well we'll
see how that goes exactly.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
We'll just wait. I mean we just saw how it went.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
But but okay, it doesn't matter that was two days
any different that was two days ago.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Is it gonna be any because now we're not going
to pitch to him because that's a last guy you
want to pitch to.
Speaker 10 (05:01):
I'm not gonna be. One thing I didn't have was
the Mets outlasting the Jets.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, well the Mets are the Mets are flying. The
Mets are flying me over the Jets to get to
the Knicks. That's kind of what's happened.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Now, can you fly me over? Yesterday? You did have
an a wild, wild seventy two hours. I mean, because
Friday night was all about the still to be completed
Nicks trade that nobody could talk about. So you had
the pressers today. You had the one of the worst
football games I've ever watched in that Jets Denver game.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Oh it was terrible.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
It was just although one guy sitting at a table
at this restaurant bar that we went to, uh, did
have one of those giant Jets hats. Oh you know,
big ass. It's not quite a helmet, but it might
as well be based on its size. So he was
pretty excited until he wasn't. Well, that was how I was.
I was excited un till I was. Yeah, but that
(05:58):
was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
That was.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Ago, a year ago. Not for the sport loving public.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
We're live for the tyrack dot Com studios direct dot
com will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tyrack dot com is the way tire buying
should be. So yeah, we'll get to the NFL games
coming up in a second. If you had a prop
bet on Jared Goff catching a touchdown, you're feeling pretty
good right now.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
But yeah, I don't think anytime touchdowns you know, you
were expecting him to throw one, and it doesn't count
anytime touchdown you got one. But yeah, right now a
lot of salty people that picked him up in fantasy.
But let me just tell you that the Mets Braves
game today, Game one clearly the best game in Major
League Baseball all year. I mean, the the ups and downs,
(06:47):
you know what. I looked at the the the winning
percentage of that game. It was like, you know, the
Braves are at ninety, then the Mets are up at ninety,
then the Braves are atten ninety. It was like bitcoin.
It was like, oh, were something special that would everything
it was to be a Mets fan. It was absolute,
utter destroying. I'm thinking, Okay, we're gonna have to play
game two and it's gonna be awful. No, no, we're
(07:07):
gonna win. No, no, we gave it away.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And of course Diaz gives it away with a big
double when he forgets to cover first base.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
But then Lindor it's a home run that changes the
direction of the franchise. Because there's nothing else I could
say other than that. I mean, I don't get days
like this and that, and that's that's the big thing
about today, is that I don't get days like this
with my teams, hardly at all, and to get and
this is the first Mets day I've had like this,
probably in nearly ten.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Years since the World Series. I don't get days like
I don't get any days of with the Jets.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Obviously you did then you got to on a Thursday
night everything season. That's just winning a regular playoff game.
We beat the Patriot the greatest. It was the game
that night, and that's what you don't treat every Thursday.
(07:56):
That was the way that that was the game.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I don't get day like this where something like that happens,
where the Mets, who have operated like that for the
better part of my life, suddenly reverse it. And when
Lindor as soon as he hit that ball. I watched,
I said, that's gone. That's oh my god, he did it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Oh you know what, I don't think like he said
in his post game interview that he was one hundred
percent sure he got it. I don't think he did
either that or that he's the calmest guy in the
worlds Well, you saw the way he rounded the bait.
That's kind of who he is. That was almost like
a h Well, that's the thing is that that of
it a quiet The Mets and the Braves don't like
(08:33):
each other, as you can see, right. I told you
that all those guys were on the fielding each other,
love each other.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
The Mets and the Braves hate each other. And I
get that, but Lindor is Lindor, and the way he
carries himself as different. Yeah, that could have been a
blank you trot. But this was simply I hit it.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I put my head down and I rounded the basis
like that's kind of that's kind of how it is.
And I knew as soon as I said, he got it,
because I knew if he didn't get it, he would
run out of the box because he knew he hit
it far. And I said, oh my god. He got
didn't look and yell at the at the dugout or
anything else, and I said, oh my god. My first
thought was, is Daz really coming out for the ninth thing?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Again?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Is he really gonna come out for that? And apparently
he told Carlos Mendoza, I don't care what you do.
I'm going out there in the ninth. Okay, that's where
you let you know, and that's where I get it.
You let your players go out there. And d Haz
closed it out, slammed his glove and my phone. It
was like my birthday. It was like my birthday, like,
oh my look. The text coming is like this is great.
I'm just riding this wave right now. Because again, I
(09:29):
don't get days like this, and it makes me crazy
because I think, boy, how big a sports fan I
am When my teams generally stink and they don't win
hardly anything, and I get one day like this every
ten years, right, they could go look the Brewers. It
beat us five out of six this year.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It just beat us pretty bad this weekend, and bleeping
Reese Hoskins is probably gonna two Grand Slams. But like,
I don't know, the last day I got like this,
that was this good, right? The Knicks a little bit
in the playoffs, right, maybe beating beating the Sixers and
coming from behind when they were losing and to go
up two zip. That really kind of clinched that series
against the Sixers. But before that, like, when's the last
(10:05):
time I got anything from the Knicks? One's got anything
from the Jets? Mets, you're going back. I mean, they
they eat their way into the wild card two years ago,
but they gave away the division lead the entire year.
So I gotta go back to the to the World Series.
I don't get there.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
I remember you with the World Series, and you know
that'll be an interesting couple of weeks if we have
to go through that again. The Knicks last year, you
you got, you got. You got pretty chesty despite the
early exit, because it became all about, ah, we're all hurt,
like that's the way the way it goes. It should
break your heart that much more because you know how
(10:37):
how close things could have been if they were they
were healthy.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Me.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I I just accept losing at this point from all
my Chicago squads. Although the Bears beat the Rams yesterday,
so that was exciting because you actually saw them line
up under center go to jumbo package. I put it
up on Twitter multiple times when they when they did,
like we're actually under center and running the football. So yeah,
in brief moments, I understand that it excitement, but you
know us, we were going back and forth on our
(11:03):
text exchange. You know, here's some stories for the show.
But then all of a sudden, all right, that eighth
inning and ninth inning, it's about as insane as it gets, right,
I mean that that half hour of sports sports, sports sports,
uh is what makes makes you come to Fox Sports
Radio or Fox Sports One and watch and listen, because
(11:24):
that's that's the best of it, right, that's unscripted drama
and about as good as a get. Because your closer
was never gonna get to go back to New York
that game after that eighth inning, right, If that's how
you guys go down in the ninth.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Steve Cohen would have walked on the field with sixty
million dollars and said, you keep the rest of this
money and we're heading back.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Here's a check to stay here, you know, because I
can only imagine what was coming out of your mouth
down there after they gave up the runs. When he
comes in and he doesn't cover first base. That was Oh,
I'm glad you brought it up, though, because that was
one of the things in the note of Wow, how
lazy was that?
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Like?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Does he didn't even make a step, Like there was
no effort. I was like, Ah, it's either fall or
he's gonna get it. Like I'm I'm not even bothered.
Speaker 10 (12:08):
Hey, Jason, who's that who's that bum that calls the
games for you?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Come on? Do what you mean? How really did you?
Speaker 10 (12:15):
Did you hear the home run? The lind door home run.
I'm not gonna play because I'm not gonna waste people's time.
Stop stop it was so original, he said, linsanity in
New York.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Really that's what you go with?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, well, I'm sure the I'm sure the the tradeingar
paid today onanity went away.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Yeah, I'm sure it did. But isn't that the equivalent
of everything in Hollywood have Let's just redo something that
worked before.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I look, I'd like something a little bit better, but
I think this is lynd sanity. It's lynd l I
n d lynd sanity, lin sanity.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Just make sure you you know get that, because I
don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Can he say Lynd sanity and not have pay any money? No,
I'm sure the Lynd sanity.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Because you also have to re up every year, like
that's the thing people forget, right, you file the paperwork,
but then if you don't keep up, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Maybe you're doing how we got Winnie the Poo in
as a as a murderous bear.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
You got people running them up with the steamboat Willie property,
you know, remnant domain. Now what does that mean? It
means we can make Winnie the Poo a killer? All right,
there's pretty good. I haven't seen the sequels. Gonna kill
people with honey. He's gonna hit him over the head
with the jar honey and they're gonna choke door.
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Doesn't even know who Jeremy Lynn is.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
It doesn't know, And I don't care. I don't care.
You know what a horrible it was coming in the
nine and put it over the fact, I don't care.
It's the greatest home run in Mets. It's one of them.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Sure you have the Wilmer Flores walk off. I mean yeah,
I mean, look, that's the best part that the best
and worst part about today was this is one of
the best Mets wins of my lifetime.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I'm going almost going.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Back fi and that's great and it's also terrible, Like
really a home run win the end to get you
in the plass, one of your best wins.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Yes it is. I've only been to the plays. What
it is the eleventh time? Yes, right, the eleventh time
in that history going back to you know, nineteen sixty two.
As we've talked about ad nauseum related to my squad
and the twenty twenty four Chicago White Sox. But oh,
just exciting day. The fact that we then split and
(14:20):
those poor sons and guns in Arizona that had their
bags packed and we're just waiting. What do you think
that the booze cart was as soon as the final out,
it's like, all right, guys, we might have to get
on a plane, so take it easy. Not to hell
with it. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I could have told you after that first game Arizona,
don't don't even watch the second game. Don't because the
Braves were dead. The only thing mid why the brains
were able to win, because the Mets were deader like that,
that's the only like the Braves have nothing left, but
the Mets just decided listen, we don't care. They were
on the plane as soon as the game ended. They
were on the plane, right. Lindor is almost crying in
this postgame interview. The're hugging each other. DZ is going
(14:55):
crazy that they were on the plane already. So it's like,
I felt bad, Bob, Like, what are you gonna do?
You know, they kept it close, you know, kept it
close for a whiles the exacting they lost twelve nothing,
but what are.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
You gonna do? That's true? What are you gonna that's true?
They didn't get blown out quite so bad.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I don't get days like today. I get maybe one
day every ten years. And this was well.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I mean it's it's a hell of a rebound from
the low that you experienced with the Jets yesterday. I mean,
there's no question about that. Again, that may have been
may as well have been a year ago. It doesn't matter.
May probably does seem like a lifetime ago.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Huh.

little interesting in Miami. Three and a half left to go,
Dolphins getting the end zone, do not get the two
point conversion. They trail Tennessee now by ten. Meanwhile, Jared
(17:19):
Goff just at Jamison Williams for a seventy yard touchdown,
and now it's a two touchdown lead for the Lions.
Thirty five twenty late in the third quarter.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Yeah, it is Fantasy Day. Just got a lot better.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Time to break down all the big news in the NFL.
Joining us now on the hotline, Nobody Better, Odyssey, Washington
Post one of five seven the fan in Baltimore, Friend
of the show. He's on Twitter at Jason Lockin four
it is Jason Lock and for a jay.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
What's happening?
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Man?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
What's going on? Gentlemen?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Well, look, I want to say this because you know watching,
you know, seeing the I mean the game that no
one's watching the Dolphins and the Titans with it's on,
so we have to you know, the other game is
much more exciting. I know that, you know, watching this
game and seeing the Dolphins offense struggle, I know how
much flat to a tongue of I low it gets
for oh, he doesn't have the arms?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Does this?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Maybe he's the MVP of the NFL, because Wow, the
way this offense looks without him, it's it's hard to
make an argument that maybe it's overrated. I mean, he's
I mean, you see what this is, all these weapons
and it's really a difficult watch.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, it's kind of shameful. Man. They obviously have two
elite wide receivers that they've got a scheme, you know,
the outside zone Shanahan run that scheme that is pretty
tried and true. They paid some money to some offensive
lineman and they're a joke. I mean they are. They're unwatchable.
(18:47):
I mean honestly, like even that drive they just scored
on and I was watching both games at once because
I'm waiting on a particular result on that other game.
But I don't say it because I'll probably jink it
if I say what I'm want. But it was like
watching the precason football game, like even you know, for
them to be down that much and to be running
that much time off the clock, I'm just like, you know,
(19:10):
and Tyreek Hill is starting to lose his stuff on
the sidelines a little bit, like good luck keeping whatever
someone for that is left to be kept together down
the stretch. Like it just looks like it's a lost
season already. And I don't know, you know what that
means two are coming back if he comes back, I don't.
(19:32):
I don't you know. Week six, week seven, week eate whatever,
it might already look like a lost cause. And the
bloom is certainly off of McDaniels. Rose. Eh, he's got
no answers right now. I mean, they've got some talent there,
and I know they're limited the quarterback position, but like
I like, Huntley has never won a football game before,
(19:53):
Like what's going on here? I mean, it's it's pathetic.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
How about you just send Tyreek Hill back to gantasy
they could use the receiver.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Well, I don't think they want one making that kind
of money, just re you know, reupping with him. I
do think Kansas City will certainly be in the market
for a receiver, though I doubt it's Tyreek Kill, and
I don't I don't think they're gonna trade Tyreek Kill.
They're gonna need kyreek Kill for two down the road
or whoever the next quarterback is or whatever. But uh, yes, Uh,
(20:28):
they missed Character Kinnon in the red zone and now
they're going to miss Rice all over the field. And
obviously Hollywood Brown is not going to play a snap
for them this year. So my dog is just losing
his stuff over here. I don't know what hoping not
picking up all that NDIA sound.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
But no, what did he bet on?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
What?
Speaker 5 (20:44):
What?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
What? What? No?
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Dot what?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
He's hacking up along over here? Uh so, yeah, I
mean Kristin Kirk. I've got a few people whisper that.
To me, he looks like an Andy Reid receiver, doesn't
he like what the Jags are cooked. I don't think
the Raiders would trade Davonte Adams there, but they're going
(21:07):
to do something. I'm sure they always do well.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's the things you mentioned Davonte Adams, And after yesterday,
I think, oh, the Jets will absolutely overpay for Davonte Adams,
all the problems, all the guys with jobs on the line, A,
they'll overpay for Davonte Adams.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah, like they might try to and they might do it,
but do you think I mean, that's not the answer. Now.
It's funny. I've had people say like, that's what what
he will want to do, like people who know what
he well will be like this will go on for
a couple more weeks and and they're going to keep
getting their answers kicked. And the offense is an abject failure.
It's a joke, and Minnesota's going to suffocate them, and
(21:47):
pittsburghs gonna suffocate them, and the Bills are going to
suffocate them. And then that takes us up to the
deadline and they probably will panic and do something stupid.
But it's it's not gonna like Garret Wilson's a good
receiver right now, like they've got a number one receiver
got less targets this year through four games than than
than he did last year through four games. He got
less catches got way less yards. Like I'm old enough
(22:11):
to remember Breze Hall running for six yards to carry
the first month of last season with old stifflers at quarterback.
Like nobody's averaging now three point one? Like the quarterbacks
throwing twenty five percent of his passes to their running backs. Okay,
like on that's like bottom two in the NFL, Like
(22:31):
bottom of the barrel, pushing the ball twenty five yards
or more downfield. It is what it is he's complaining
about the weather. Dude, to four games last year, they
averaged four point seven yards per play? What do you
think they're averaging through four games this year?
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Four point seven?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Four point eight? So there you go. That's your fifty
million dollars quarterback.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Jason in Baltimore. There, how much chess do you know us?
After last night thumping of the Bills?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I mean it was it was obviously and emphatic win. Right.
That wasn't just your typical even for you know, a
team with a good home field advantage playing in primetime.
That doesn't happen all the time. Buffalo Bills were playing
great football, and they got absolutely manhandled across the board.
(23:23):
And if you don't want to like the latest Rayvends
singers the line right now, Like, if you don't have
heavy personnel to match up in the box when they
run at you with you know, two tight ends and
the fullback end Derrick Henry and you don't want to
blitze like crazy, then then you're probably in trouble, like
(23:43):
you might no numbers might not work for you defensively,
and they never did for Buffalo last night. And you know,
I don't know, like defensively that looked like my McDonald
last night, that that looked like Zach Orr found like
McDonald's old playbook and call sheet, and they had all
(24:07):
the answers. Well, they can run the football anything close
to this, guys, like that defense is not gonna be
on the field that much. Like it's it's just, you know,
it's nuts what they're doing on the ground. They're running
backs accounted for over three hundred scrimmageyards in that game.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yeah, you know, the thing Jay that I that I
don't get is that and I thinking about this last night,
is that for the last few years, it's been got
to get Lamar playmakers at wide receiver, right, and the
failure to do that, they can't get him you know,
they fly, they can't get them, they can't get him. Meanwhile,
it's like, no, no, no, just get me a running
back we can rely on that doesn't get hurt, that
I can give the ball to. And suddenly this offense.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Looks it looks like it's it's better than it's ever
been because and maybe that's what they needed.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
We get somebody who's a big threat running the ball.
It's not about getting the guys for Lamar to throw
downfield too, it's it's going the other way. And it's like, oh, man,
had you just done this like four or five years ago, just.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Like what could have happened?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Well, yeah, I mean I don't think you were getting
a hand on Derreck Henry four or five years ago,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
That was not somebody else, another bell Count running back.
Yet it would have been better.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Well I think that's what JK. Dobbins would have been
if he'd stayed healthy. You know, like I think remember
how few games he played, And honestly, at that point
in his career, Lamar refused to chuck down. He refused
to embrace the horizontal pass game. So Dobbins would be
frustrated because he'd be wide open and the flank and
Lamar would just keep it himself. Now, I mean he's
had he was nine for nine to running backs in
(25:32):
that game. I mean, Justice Hills got more receiving yards
than Jon Robinson through the season so far. Like he's
a thing. So yeah, I think, you know, I think
Dobbins could have been that guy. He just he was
never healthy. But they've got something really special cooking here
with that three headed monster in the backfield. And they
(25:54):
started hitting the taking a few shots under center, jock
upside under center, play action at heavy personnel twenty twenty
one and twenty twenty two personnel, Like they started unlocking
that a little bit in that game. They had the
big one to likely for twenty six and then Andrews
was wide open on the next play and dropped one.
But I think that's the next step in their revolution
(26:17):
is if you're a fantasy player, you have their tight ends.
I wouldn't bail on them yet, Like I think Cincinnati
Washington these next couple of games, I think the tight
ends are going to start showing up more downfield because
you're gonna have to totally sell out to try to
stop the run. You know, all the misdirection and all
the power and everything they've got going on on the
run game.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
See there you go, guys, the by low because the
pancake blocks aren't showing up in the box score. All right,
last one. I could either do that Joe Flacco is
still elite or Jade Daniels in the first four weeks
of magnificence. Choose your own adventure.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I mean I co signed both. You know, Flacco coming
and cold in that game and scoring. You know, it's
just like you left your cup right where he left
off in Cleveland. I mean, if the Browns had kept him,
just think about that. Yeah, I mean to think where
they would be versus what where they are with that
moot quarterback who is just and he's a loser. You're
(27:14):
not winning anything with Deshaun Watson, and everybody in that
organization knows that except for maybe the owner. And yeah,
this Jadon Daniels thing is legit, Like there's nothing like
Sony about this. Like, yeah, we can quibble about who
he's played, I guess, and YadA, YadA, YadA, But I
mean he Madekylin Murrayskylin Murgans like football, Yes, like it was.
(27:37):
It was one Way traffic. It was all Jayden Daniels
all the time. And there's still not that much volume
in the past game yet. I mean, there's there's some
potential for some crazy stuff there.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
He's on Twitter at Jason Locke and four that is
at Jason Locke and four. Check them out, honesty one,
O five seven the fan in Baltimore, Washington Post. Jay
is always buddy, appreciate it to have fun in the
playoffs with the Orioles. We'll talk to you next.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Week about it.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
All right, there goes Jason locking for ready for the
gotta be ready for the playoffs. Got ready to go.
I saw they gave you the template the Orioles did
on social media in case you need to bag off
school or work. Yeah, yeah, no, it's nice talking about
you have to be at the yard. Yeah, at the yard.
You're gonna be at the yard for some work. Oh okay,
that works, the yard for some work.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We got lots of lots of points to talk about,
none of them between the Titans and the Dolphins, but
plenty between the Lions and the Seahawks. But speaking of
big plays, Steve Desague will of course begin with the
biggest play of maybe the last ten years in sports.
Francisco Lindora's ninth inning home run to put the mets
in the playoffs. Steve O, do do do do?
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Did?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I don't think that's gonna work. I'll do my Steve
tosagre depression. No, no, no, you know I do have
a quote from the great baseball statistician Sarah Langs hope.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
She had a good one on the Mets today. The
Mets are great. There we go, there's Steve O.
Speaker 11 (29:12):
There we go. Yeah, we'll get to that little game later.
There are two NFL games right now and at Detroit.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
It's not over.
Speaker 11 (29:18):
Early fourth quarter Allions thirty five twenty seven over Seattle.
Kenneth Walker playing after an oblique injury. Third touchdown run
just now twelve carries eighty yards for him. Gino Smith
two hundred and ninety yards passing in a score, but
Jared Goff is leading, and the Lions quarterback is fifteen
for fifteen through the air, two hundred and twenty five
(29:39):
yards and a touchdown. Aman Ross Saint Brown has also
thrown a touchdown pass to Jared Goff two minute warning mercifully,
and the Tennessee Titans are leading at Miami twenty four
to twelve. Looks like the Dolphins will fall to one
and three. Tyler Huntley was the quarterback tonight, twelve of
twenty eighty one yards passing and an early fumble. And
(30:01):
it's Mason Rudolph for most of the game at QB
for Tennessee as Will Levis started but left early with
a shoulder injury. Tony Pollard eighty five yards rushing. Tajay
Spears only thirty nine yards on the ground, but he
has a touchdown. The star of the night, and this
one has been the Titans kicker Nick Folk. Five for
five on field goals and he's hit from fifty one,
(30:22):
fifty two, and fifty three yards out. Basketball Hall of
Famer de Kembe Matumbo died of brain cancer. He was
fifty eight. Cincinnati Red's legend Pete Rose died he was
eighty three. The San Francisco Giants fired team president far
Anxiety and replaced him with Buster Posey. At the MLB
All Star Game, players will now wear their own team's uniforms,
(30:42):
as it always used to be through twenty nineteen. In
Major League Baseball, an incredible game to open a makeup
doubleheader at Atlanta today. The Mets trailed three nothing in
the eighth, scored six times in the top of the eighth,
gave up four runs in the bottom of the eighth, Yeah,
and still one game eight over the Braves on a
two run homer in the top of the ninth by
(31:04):
Francisco Lindor. The Mets are in a playoff berth. They'll
play at Milwaukee tomorrow. The Braves clinched their playoff berth
with a game two win, three to nothing. Even though
Braves pitcher Chris Saal was scratched due to backspasms.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
He's likely out this week. Arizona was eliminated.
Speaker 11 (31:20):
Tomorrow night, the Braves start a best of three in
San Diego.
Speaker 5 (31:24):

driving now down eight thirty five twenty seven, still ten
(32:48):
minutes to go in the fourth quarter in this one.
G No, g No, we have more football coming up
in about ten minutes. But look today at a big
double shock. You know, you probably woke up and saw
the new use to ken Ba Mtumbo passed away at
the age of fifty eight from brain cancer. And then
shortly after the last game of the baseball season regular season,
shortly after the Mets and the Braves played their doubleheader,
(33:11):
we found out.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Pete Rose passed away at the age of eighty three.
There is not a lot of details right now. Apparently
he was found by a family friend. They don't suspect
any foul play, but it was sudden for Pete Rose.
Now the big thing is obviously Pete Rose had a
very complex legacy and it's not just about the gambling.
But to get us into this story.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Because I got to tell you there his last few
years could have been really, really different. This was him
recently from the Brett Boone podcast when he's asked about
his chance to potentially getting in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
You think you think Cooper sounds gonna happen one day eventually, Yeah,
but I'll be dead. Yeah wait, wait do I die?
And I didn't know, change of heart and put me
on the list and I go from there.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
So there was I mean, how chilling does that sound
you know, think about that from a while ago. Look
Pete's legacy from the gambling to where he is not
being the Hall of Famer. I'll tell you this, Pete
Rose would be a Hall of Famer if the scandal
from the seventies didn't come up five or six years ago,
(34:20):
where when he was thirty four years old he was
dating an underage girl who was sixteen ish years all
the time, there was a big discrepancy as to how
old she was. This came up years ago, year, a
few years ago, and not you know, thirty years ago
because of something that was said in an interview and
Pete Rose sued the guy who said, oh, Pete Rose
was dating a fifteen year old girl, and this brought
(34:41):
everything up again.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Pete Rose is then let go from his TV role
at Fox, which at that point was the new high
point of his career because the TV show with him
and a Rod and Frank Thomas was terrific, fantastic.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Watching him and A Rod talk about hitting was incredible, right,
it was incredible just seeing them back and forth, just
real quick things about hitting. It was like it was
it was incredible, Like this show really had a lot
of buzz. It was a great show. But when this
controversy comes up, it's okay, you were thirty four, you
were dating a girl who was sixteen. He gets let go.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
And that was the last thing for him because if
that doesn't come up, right, if that doesn't come up,
then he's in the Hall of Fame now because the
last few years there would have been that push of well,
look how close sports are to gambling. Now look at
the NFL and gambling. Do we really need to do this?
Has Pete served his time and we can let him
(35:32):
in And there would have been a big outcry for
Pete Rose to be in the Hall of Fame, and
I'm pretty sure he would have gotten it. Now you
actually have the commissioners who were yes or no, want
but they understand that, hey, this is a this is
a big player. It's a big thing to celebrate him.
And with the way our attitudes are about gambling now,
clearly you can't gamble on your own team and can't
gamble he was playing, he was a player manager, he
(35:54):
was gambling. Well, we see guys now the gamble in
the NFL. They get one year suspensions. Right, It's like
Pete's been suspense for thirty five years. Right, See, these
guys get one year suspensions if they're gambling on games
and they weren't supposed to. So I think without that scandal,
if that doesn't come to light, he's in the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Now.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Well, if they hadn't, if he'd done any of that
in the Rob Manford era, he just shrugged and moved on.
But yeah, yeah, you got rewarded in the Rob Manford. Yeah.
I mean, obviously the allegations related to the underage woman
girl at the time, I certainly complicates mattered. I don't
(36:32):
know that you'd had the ground swell to get him
in even with the change in terms of gambling, because
he still was the face of hey, this is wrong.
So whatever the CBA was in the NFL and the
rules of regulation different than Major League Baseball. I always wondered,
if Bartlett Giamatti didn't die a Bartlett Giamatti didn't die
(36:54):
in nineteen eighty nine, how long the lifetime ban would
have been. Yeah, if he'd lived a few more years.
But that's like the last thing he did death note
as commissioner before passing away. So it becomes the well,
you got whatever talks they had. You got to leave
it at that right, so I'm still gambling.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
At that point was still you can't no matter what
you do in baseball, you can't gamble. That was the
whole thing. Now, I mean, look at where the landscape
is now in twenty twenty four. Everybody gambles on anything.
Players can gamble on on game. Just can't gamble on
your own team. He can't gamble from your where you practice.
But other than that, the rules are pretty.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
But again that's NFL. The rules are League Baseball still
has the same.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
But with the general with the general acceptance of gambling
now where it wasn't where it was always in the
shadows before and it was illegal and who knew what
was happening it would have been because I think there
was a there was there was a much bigger push
of Pete's done his time. Pete's done his time for this.
It's been so many years, and I know he lived
a lot of his life with the hey, I'm the
best player not in the Hall of Fame, and that
(37:54):
was a big deal. But you hear him talk he
would have given everything to be a Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
Wow, I mean would have given everything back for a
number of right, one, that adulation that goes with it
being able to give the speech, being enshrined. But let's
call what it is. Pete was a businessman with all
of this too. He recognized and I heard him say
a time and time again, how many millions of dollars
not being in the Hall of Fame cost him all
the endorsement opportunities and the inscriptions for all the autographs
(38:19):
that you would sign over because that would have been
nineteen eighty eight. You're talking thirty six years of signatures
for an extra fifty to one hundred bucks a pop
to say hof whatever the year was. So, I mean
there was a huge financial cost to all of it,
as well as reputation and history. Look, he's in the
Hall of Fame because they've had the artifacts there. I've
(38:40):
seen them on multiple occasions. Used to spend a lot
of time at the Hall of Fame when I was
in the Northeast. But the fact of the matter is that,
you know, you get to this point, it's unfortunate that
you know, he never got to have that day, but
you broke what is the cardinal rule of baseball? And
I get it. It's water now that they've embraced billion
(39:02):
dollars of ads and all of the different participation they're in,
whether it's just down the street, the building next door,
or whatever. I get it. It's changed. But like that part,
I don't know that we've hit that part with baseball
writers yet, that where we have that tipping point of
accomplishment versus while I was on the beat when this
(39:26):
all happened, and I have to keep him out again.
It's been so long, I don't know how many of
those writers still hold sway. I don't know how many
of those guys from thirty five years ago were still
are still voters, are still there still, they kept all
the guys they didn't like that were quasi steroid allegation.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
So that was still late two thousands. I mean, you're
talking about that's fifteen years ago.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
You're talking about I'm going back forty years where people like, wow, okay,
this is a long time ago. This is before I
even knew anything about baseball. He signed off on a
lifetime ban, though exit ou about a Fresco exit.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Swallendome will have more on the complicated legacy of Pete Rose.
We got to Kevin Mtumbo as well, and now things
getting even more interesting in Detroit when it comes down
to the end of the game between the Lions and
the Seahawks. That's next right here, plus a different choice
for NFL MVP Fox Playoffs Francisco Lindor at a home
under the ninth inning. It's one of the greatest days
(40:19):
of my sports life.
Speaker 5 (40:20):
I don't try to claim that I don't care. Camera
would show that your face says something different. Don't one
of those highlights we really don't care, I really don't.
The other is I look, we don't script the show.
I mean I didn't get a copy of it. This
is not one of many other shows in radio or television,
so I don't necessarily know where you're gonna go, where
(40:41):
you're gonna drag it out. But I was telling a story,
So that's a I don't care. Okay, that's what I
was gonna say. I don't care. I was gonna say,
I don't care. That's all right, it's okay, it's okay.
We got you know, we we we double teamed it.
It was all good. We got it. We got the turnover.
We got turnover.
Speaker 8 (40:55):
Well, you said, Tommy Lee, right, Tommy Lee Jones. Oh,
I thought he only acted with Pamela Anderson.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
Know that. Boy, that would that would be a much
different video. It was Tommy Lee. Yeah, much different, much
much different. Yeah yeah, no, no, different different, completely different. Yeah. Yeah, No,
I don't care. I don't. I don't care. You're a liar.
I don't get a liar because it's no Mexican. It
may have been pushed down a little bit. Now you
may be suppressing it, but it's there. That lost to
(41:22):
the Broncos. No, no, no, might just keep saying it, that
loss to the Broncos and that backwards throwing bonniche you
know how great he is. No, no, that's fine. Everybody
tell by the way that that touchdown shouldn't have counted.
But uh yeah no they that was a whoa did
he come down with it and bounce? But it happened.
It's okay, Uh, I will you know, I will say
(41:42):
this for it's straight A big take off, a big
takeaway from from Monday Night football. Well guess what and
by the way, uh you know, just about the game
today and why the Mets and the Braves were such
a big deal. The Mets win the Game of the
Year in Major League Baseball, I don't think you're gonna
get a debate from anybody on that they in game
one of the doubleheader to make the playoffs and Landor
hits a home run with two outs in the ninth inning.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
It's it's something different about baseball and why I was
just it was so incredibly exciting, and I'm doing backflips
and the text goo back and forth, and it was
just that kind of special moment. I tell you last
hour on the show, I said, listen, I don't get
days like this right then. Maybe I get one or
two days every ten years like this with my teams.
But there's something about.
Speaker 5 (42:26):
Baseball compared to other sports, Like if it was if
it was the Jets and football, it would have been
a lot of yeah blakey blankety blank, and let's Blake
Andy Blake, Andy Blake and blank blank blank blank blank.
Different with the Knicks, it would have been yeah Blake,
Andy Blake, Andy Blake and the Knicks and Blake Blake
blank blank. But there's something about about when it happens
in baseball and why it's such a big deal and
why suddenly people who didn't have a dog in the
(42:48):
fight between the Mets and the Braves today watch this
game and they understand how incredible it was. This is
a baseball game that people watched, this is this is unreal.
Much happening right, Correctivity was lost, there's no times, but
it doesn't matter because I got see Lindor hit home run.
Is that there's something about baseball that when you see
this happen, no matter how old you are, whether you're
(43:10):
twenty five, thirty five, forty five, fifty, whatever it is,
you go back to being a kid. You celebrate baseball
like you did when you were a kid. And I
don't know why, but that's just the way it goes.
Celebrating something like this brings you back to that moment
when you first fell in love with baseball or sports
or whatever game it was. Football and basketball are more physical,
(43:31):
it's more it's more the emotional outlet of because the
games are more physical, but baseball is more Hey, when
I was a kid. It kind of takes me back
to that. And then Lindor hits that home run and
I'm flying around and I'm fist pumping and I'm fifteen again,
and I'm I'm fifteen in my basement watching Game six
of the World Series with the Mets and the Red
(43:52):
Sox going, I can't believe we're gonna lose this.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
I mean, that's kind of what it is. That's what
baseball does that the other sports don't do. It takes
you back to when you were a kid hid and
and there's there are probably eighty year old men that
are sitting around going, oh my god, that's just going dark,
and they're fist pumping in there, you know, breathing, taking
oxygen whatever it was.
Speaker 5 (44:09):
Oh my god, like that. That's that's what it was.
That that's what the reaction is like in moments like that,
and it just it takes over. And that's what makes
baseball so different. Yeah, to be fair, you do that
in Game sixty two of the regular season, I mean
we watch you live and die with each pitch and
failed u efforts by your closer the greatness, Well he
(44:33):
did didn't and then he didn't. Oh no, no, that's didn't
fail today. Yeah, I was made that eighth inning.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
I was ready to leave Daz in Atlanta, but then
the ninth thing happened.
Speaker 5 (44:41):
Now DS is eighth inning Like that was one I
wish could have been on camera, like we all forget,
like as we get to the playoffs, we'll have him
in primetime. You and I'll come on air as some
of those games are ending, others beginning, of course, all
of that stuff. But that eighth inning, I mean, that
would have been if you were ever gonna do an
ig live. I mean, you could have out done that
(45:02):
other guy who I will not name. O. Sure I
might have been able to. It might have been.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
It might have been even more profanity if that was
the case, because first of all, not covering third, I'm
not covering first.
Speaker 5 (45:13):
I mean, come on, man, how do you not cover
I mean, I don't know. If we would have got him,
We've got we would have got colled it. But come on,
it's just the principle of not even making a move
to first base, like that's that's the thing, right, go
back to your days, you know, coaching softball or playing
as kids and growing up like it was those fundamental
(45:33):
things where unless you were the manager's kid or you
were the absolute superstar, that's how you got your ass.
Planning on a bench, just plays like that, right, not
getting out of the box on it when you hit
the ball and watching it or just giving up on
I popped up, No all of those things, but like
this was he didn't even move towards first base, and
(45:56):
then that inning be unravels as it did. But to
your point about baseball is very much this and you know,
we get that little kid in you in the moment
because your expectation. Like football, I think we expect greatness
on every play. Basketball, there's a ton of points scored,
unless it's the eighties and nineties basketball, then you were
(46:17):
praying for a bucket now and again. But the way
basketball goes possession with possession, see me when we hit
the two minute warning and we'll go from there. But baseball,
like you're expected to fail as often as you do,
especially once the closure comesas like oh he's gonna nail
this down.
Speaker 7 (46:32):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Baseball is about failure. It's been about failure.
Speaker 5 (46:36):
Or that game today, first seven innings, Man, there wasn't much,
all right, I mean it's pretty basic, all right, Well,
are they gonna go down swinging? Or we're looking at
a game too, And then that eighth inning conga line
begins and all of a sudden you're invested. We start
texting back and forth. I found as many of the
great memes and gifts as we possibly could, and you
(46:59):
get into it for better or for worse, right knowing
what it was going to become, because certainly on Twitter
and I appreciate you all that out there at Swollendo, Matt,
how about Afresca. You certainly let me know what my
day was going to be like as soon as either
of those things right. The celebratory he blew it and
you writing I hate base baseball, But then I tweeted
(47:19):
out I love baseball because I love baseball. You loved
it against he did. He was ready to forsake all
of them. Exit out about a Fresca exit Swollen Dome.
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live from the
Tirech dot Com Studios.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
We'll have more baseball on the way. Really an unbelievable
day in baseball. But as we get to the NFL,
looks like the Lions are going to walk away with
a win. Here they stop the Seahawks on downs on
fourth down, a pass to Tyler Lockett and the end
zone is thrown out of the end zone. So it
looks like the Seahawks gonna suffer their first loss of
(47:56):
the season. We'll have more in this game coming up
in a few minutes. But we watch the other game,
and we watch it because we had to. You didn't watch,
because why would you. The Titans beat the Dolphins in
one of the most unexciting games in the history of
the league, thirty one to twelve. Right, the Titans saw
a quarterback Will Levis get hurt early in this game.
They came in and ran the football pretty well and
(48:17):
the Dolphins could do absolutely nothing. And the Titans get
their first w the season. They beat the Dolphins thirty
one to twelve. And yes, there's going to be a
lot of as a season over for the Dolphins most likely.
Do we expect this to happen?
Speaker 5 (48:30):
No, we did not. But let me throw this out there,
because this is makes a lot more sense than I
would say, send you thing. This makes it. It makes
a lot of sense, right is that? To a tongue
of I Looa gets paid by the Dolphins and he
has his detractors. The Dolphins offense last year was fantastic.
(48:51):
He's got his detractors. He can't throw the ball deep,
he can't throw the ball to a spot when he's
forced to get out of his element. We doesn't have
a clean pocket. All these things too, shouldn't have gotten
the money. Two is overrated, h to a tongue of
I LOOA might be the NFL mv BO. Look at you, right,
because you look at what this offense is and how
(49:14):
abysmal it has been without him, Because what do you
have on this team? You have a lot of weapons, right,
you got you got a chan and and you're talking
about throwing the ball up to Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle.
You got playmakers, man, you got playmakers on this team.
And still look what happens Tyler Huntley tonight ninety six
(49:35):
yards passing? All right? They couldn't get anything un tracked.
How do you not get untracked when when you have
these kinds of weapons? Right, this Miami offense middle of
last year was unstoppable, and how far this has fallen
in the last twelve games is crazy. Like, yes, they
lose the playoff game last year to the Chiefs. Okay,
for Miami to go on the road and play in
(49:56):
that unbelievable wasn't the third coldest game ever? Yeah? I
get that the Miami was gonna lose that game, right.
Warm weather teams are always gonna have trouble, So that's
always gonna be a thing. But now it's almost like
the Dolphins are a teardown because you don't know what's
gonna happen with tongue of Iloa if he does come back,
what is it? And the way they have fallen so fast.
But with Tua, this is still a team that wins
(50:16):
a bunch of games. This is still a guy that
throws over four thousand yards and thirty five touchdowns. So
when this whole oh two is this two?
Speaker 3 (50:23):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (50:24):
Look how the offense hums.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
With Tua at quarterback, how dangerous it is, how fast
they or how fast they play. Where he gets the
ball out. Just because he can't throw the football far,
it doesn't have a great It doesn't mean he can't
move the offense. Get the ball downfield, throw to a spot,
no where he's got to go, knows where Tyreek kill
is going to be, and Tyree Kill will run across
the field for the ball. There's a lot to be
said that maybe two is the most valuable quarterback in
(50:46):
the NFL, because wow, you look at what this offense
looks like without him. It isn't it is a tough
watch man. This was a tough watch. I mean my
eyes in watching two games, I know at least one
of my eyes told my brain, no, do not watch
it watching him up above, because we had we had
two TVs watching it, so we want to Detroit on
both the high either.
Speaker 5 (51:05):
One watch this Seattle, Detroit, don't watch this one, especially
after what you watched yesterday. You know bad again that
was yesterday, Yeah, you know bad when he's still there, Yeah,
that's all right. He's trying to get your you know,
Lindor hit a two run homer today to win the
game for the Mets.
Speaker 10 (51:18):
And let me in New York, it's an insanity going
crazy anyway, what are you Vin Scully doing?
Speaker 5 (51:24):
What a hit by Francis Lindor. All right, So a
couple of important things. Tony Pollard on the fourth down
call the end of the game, twenty four seconds left,
he got you your anytime touchdown, and he took the
game over. The total it was thirty six and a half.
So Tony Pollard, make sure to send in some flowers.
But the watch watch of that game and watching the Dolphins.
(51:45):
They're now averaging eleven and a quarter points a game. Yeah,
through the first four weeks of the season. Jalen Waddell
had four catches thirty six yards long of eighteen. All right,
so you can do the math on the other three
Tyreek Hill four catches twenty three yards with a long
of seventeen. No ability to push the ball downfield means
(52:08):
ah Chan is seeing the extra man in the box
because they know they can't get the ball downfield to
those weapons. And from McDaniel, you know, everything was about
timing and rhythm and playing on you know, at the
sticks and not getting behind behind the sticks as they say,
and now you've got everything that's just a disaster. Now
(52:29):
Tennessee's defense I would have argued coming into the game
had been better than perhaps maybe they were portrayed but
betrayed multiple times by the Will Levis turnovers in this game.
He goes down early with the injury, and you have
a pretty nice game. Mason Rudolph comes in, doesn't have
to do much, just guide the ship in because they
(52:51):
run for one hundred and forty two yards, forty attempts,
grind clock, get out of there because you know the
opposing offense is a disaster. Mason Rudolph apparently the latest
quarterback who was inevitable inevitable Mason No. I mean he
had a good run last year. But you have this opportunity,
you know, in theory for the Dolphins, not that anything's
going to be a get right game, but at least
(53:13):
one that you should be able to salvage. And they
were just blown out from pillar to post. You got nothing.
You know, you finished with one hundred and six yards
rushing on thirty attempts. That's great. Devon a Chan he
had fifteen yards. Huntley was your biggest threat running for
his life. He had forty yards in a touchdown. So yeah,
you've got problems. Most Church's not ready to come back yet.
(53:33):
We don't know when we see Tua placed on the
injured reserves, so how long he's actually out We wait
and see. But you're in a difficult spot with a
couple of huge defenses coming up from Mike McDaniel. I
don't know where you pull a rabbit out of your hat.
I mean, where are you going to find a quarterback
to come in? Because you saw what Green Bay was
(53:53):
able to do when Jordan Love got hurt. Here's our offense,
here's our machine. Hey, Malik Willis, we just signed you.
Ah exit up about a Fresco exit, swollen dome. Just
think about that. Maybe a little bit of Tutofiloa might
be the most valuable player in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
I did tell Alan that the Mets suck. You still

Speaker 8 (01:04):
Remember when he's running and the guy wipes his face
with it and he makes like the happy face thing.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
That was an accident.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Yeah, No, that's an accident.
Speaker 8 (01:10):
This this is it's better because it accidentally seinfelt.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
This this is you just being lazy and not going wow, Wow,
I'm Steve Carrelzing.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Did you just do that?
Speaker 9 (01:21):
Huh?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
We're two minutes into the show and you're calling my
man the hell kind of day is it gonna be?
Speaker 7 (01:26):
Now?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I am getting trolled on the greatest day of my life?
How did you get trolled?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
This?
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Is it out?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Jason? Guess what?
Speaker 8 (01:35):
I had many touchdowns as Aaron Rodgers did yesterday? You
feel good about that?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
That that was yesterday?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
That was you know what you guys exchanged? That was off.
I'd like to reset. How was yesterday? Mike?
Speaker 6 (01:46):
He came in here and pushed me.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
We have whoa we are going back. We have no
cadence problems. So there's a lot of day's problem. Look
at him, his eyes are wide. You've besmirched his name.
Two minutes in I did not. You called him lazy,
So I said, what what?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
He is?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
A lazy thing? He's there. It's not a cardboard cutout
or an AI or an animatronic.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I don't think pop. Tell me you don't like the base.
What is the next thing? What is the Seinfeld bit
that comes off of that?
Speaker 7 (02:15):
What?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
What? What is it?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I think it's just the song. Oh okay, me here
real quick.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Alan that the Mets suck, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
It isn't and Aaron Rodgers touchdown feels good.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
I'll tell you these teams, the Yankees look at the
Mets all of a sudden they're winning. Who are these people?
Little Francisco Lindor, how do they not get him?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
They and all these other guys nobody can pitch and
they're playing Gane Carlos ten three hundred million dollars a year.
Speaker 8 (02:45):
What's the deal of asking me if I want to
swim on spirit airlines?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I don't understand they had it. Hey, how much did
you hate Edwin Diaz?
Speaker 10 (02:53):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Ill ten minute? I'll tell you because I mean, you tweeted,
I hate baseball and a man in a record time.
Then I tweeted that love baseball because that's how well.
But you hated it and it really took you to
the pits of despair. And then you started tweeting at
like our guy Todd Furman tweeted at and mocking braise
fans like don't be that ud. Let me tell you no, no,
(03:14):
it's it's the best and worst fandom. I appreciate but
then you became that guy. No kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
When I had to watch Michael Harris standing the dugout
after Albi's's big, big three run double and he's doing
the making fun of the Mets celebration when you get
a hit, I'm like, okay, how did that work out
for you?
Speaker 7 (03:33):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
And I was okay with I was.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I was okay with that when I when I when
I watched Solaire slide dirty into a glaciers at third
base and slide past the bag in the second game.
That's what the Braids do. That's what the Braves are.
It's what they did. So I was absolutely okay with it.
That's to the second game and you might as well
just quit.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
But buddy, I'll tell you this, Pam says to me.
I mean, Chris Sale gets scratched back spasms, I got
some things on some people that lost some bets because
of that. Let me tell you what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
What are we gonna do? We got we gotta gotta rest.
We have a game tomorrow night. We got a playoff
game that matters. Be an opportunity to keep your phones.
I hope the Braves beating.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Oh I would we're not going to play them. No,
I would have loved that beat that ass I would stop.
The Brewers won all their games against this past weekend.
Uh Pam says to me when she goes, what's the
lineup gonna be? I go, are you cold?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
There's gonna be guys playing that haven't played inside I
can't even tell you. And she looks at the lineup
and she goes, wow, there's some of these players. I've
never heard you talk about it. I go, yeah, that's
what is. She goes, I got I got new knees
now because you got knee replacedment a couple of years.
You think if I fly down to Atlanta to let
me play, that's the Mets put you right in the lineup.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 6 (04:40):
You play?
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Go?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Go play third base. You'll be great. Wow, you'll be awesome.
Everything is awesome.
Speaker 10 (04:45):
And another grand slam by Oh yeah, well, well we'll
see how that goes exactly.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
We'll just wait. I mean we just saw how it went.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
But but okay, it doesn't matter that was two days
any different that was two days ago.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Is it gonna be any because now we're not going
to pitch to him because that's a last guy you
want to pitch to.
Speaker 10 (05:01):
I'm not gonna be. One thing I didn't have was
the Mets outlasting the Jets.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, well the Mets are the Mets are flying. The
Mets are flying me over the Jets to get to
the Knicks. That's kind of what's happened.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Now, can you fly me over? Yesterday? You did have
an a wild, wild seventy two hours. I mean, because
Friday night was all about the still to be completed
Nicks trade that nobody could talk about. So you had
the pressers today. You had the one of the worst
football games I've ever watched in that Jets Denver game.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Oh it was terrible.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
It was just although one guy sitting at a table
at this restaurant bar that we went to, uh, did
have one of those giant Jets hats. Oh you know,
big ass. It's not quite a helmet, but it might
as well be based on its size. So he was
pretty excited until he wasn't. Well, that was how I was.
I was excited un till I was. Yeah, but that
(05:58):
was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
That was.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Ago, a year ago. Not for the sport loving public.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
We're live for the tyrack dot Com studios direct dot
com will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tyrack dot com is the way tire buying
should be. So yeah, we'll get to the NFL games
coming up in a second. If you had a prop
bet on Jared Goff catching a touchdown, you're feeling pretty
good right now.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
But yeah, I don't think anytime touchdowns you know, you
were expecting him to throw one, and it doesn't count
anytime touchdown you got one. But yeah, right now a
lot of salty people that picked him up in fantasy.
But let me just tell you that the Mets Braves
game today, Game one clearly the best game in Major
League Baseball all year. I mean, the the ups and downs,
(06:47):
you know what. I looked at the the the winning
percentage of that game. It was like, you know, the
Braves are at ninety, then the Mets are up at ninety,
then the Braves are atten ninety. It was like bitcoin.
It was like, oh, were something special that would everything
it was to be a Mets fan. It was absolute,
utter destroying. I'm thinking, Okay, we're gonna have to play
game two and it's gonna be awful. No, no, we're
(07:07):
gonna win. No, no, we gave it away.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And of course Diaz gives it away with a big
double when he forgets to cover first base.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
But then Lindor it's a home run that changes the
direction of the franchise. Because there's nothing else I could
say other than that. I mean, I don't get days
like this and that, and that's that's the big thing
about today, is that I don't get days like this
with my teams, hardly at all, and to get and
this is the first Mets day I've had like this,
probably in nearly ten.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Years since the World Series. I don't get days like
I don't get any days of with the Jets.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Obviously you did then you got to on a Thursday
night everything season. That's just winning a regular playoff game.
We beat the Patriot the greatest. It was the game
that night, and that's what you don't treat every Thursday.
(07:56):
That was the way that that was the game.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I don't get day like this where something like that happens,
where the Mets, who have operated like that for the
better part of my life, suddenly reverse it. And when
Lindor as soon as he hit that ball. I watched,
I said, that's gone. That's oh my god, he did it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Oh you know what, I don't think like he said
in his post game interview that he was one hundred
percent sure he got it. I don't think he did
either that or that he's the calmest guy in the
worlds Well, you saw the way he rounded the bait.
That's kind of who he is. That was almost like
a h Well, that's the thing is that that of
it a quiet The Mets and the Braves don't like
(08:33):
each other, as you can see, right. I told you
that all those guys were on the fielding each other,
love each other.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
The Mets and the Braves hate each other. And I
get that, but Lindor is Lindor, and the way he
carries himself as different. Yeah, that could have been a
blank you trot. But this was simply I hit it.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I put my head down and I rounded the basis
like that's kind of that's kind of how it is.
And I knew as soon as I said, he got it,
because I knew if he didn't get it, he would
run out of the box because he knew he hit
it far. And I said, oh my god. He got
didn't look and yell at the at the dugout or
anything else, and I said, oh my god. My first
thought was, is Daz really coming out for the ninth thing?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Again?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Is he really gonna come out for that? And apparently
he told Carlos Mendoza, I don't care what you do.
I'm going out there in the ninth. Okay, that's where
you let you know, and that's where I get it.
You let your players go out there. And d Haz
closed it out, slammed his glove and my phone. It
was like my birthday. It was like my birthday, like,
oh my look. The text coming is like this is great.
I'm just riding this wave right now. Because again, I
(09:29):
don't get days like this, and it makes me crazy
because I think, boy, how big a sports fan I
am When my teams generally stink and they don't win
hardly anything, and I get one day like this every
ten years, right, they could go look the Brewers. It
beat us five out of six this year.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It just beat us pretty bad this weekend, and bleeping
Reese Hoskins is probably gonna two Grand Slams. But like,
I don't know, the last day I got like this,
that was this good, right? The Knicks a little bit
in the playoffs, right, maybe beating beating the Sixers and
coming from behind when they were losing and to go
up two zip. That really kind of clinched that series
against the Sixers. But before that, like, when's the last
(10:05):
time I got anything from the Knicks? One's got anything
from the Jets? Mets, you're going back. I mean, they
they eat their way into the wild card two years ago,
but they gave away the division lead the entire year.
So I gotta go back to the to the World Series.
I don't get there.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
I remember you with the World Series, and you know
that'll be an interesting couple of weeks if we have
to go through that again. The Knicks last year, you
you got, you got. You got pretty chesty despite the
early exit, because it became all about, ah, we're all hurt,
like that's the way the way it goes. It should
break your heart that much more because you know how
(10:37):
how close things could have been if they were they
were healthy.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Me.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I I just accept losing at this point from all
my Chicago squads. Although the Bears beat the Rams yesterday,
so that was exciting because you actually saw them line
up under center go to jumbo package. I put it
up on Twitter multiple times when they when they did,
like we're actually under center and running the football. So yeah,
in brief moments, I understand that it excitement, but you
know us, we were going back and forth on our
(11:03):
text exchange. You know, here's some stories for the show.
But then all of a sudden, all right, that eighth
inning and ninth inning, it's about as insane as it gets, right,
I mean that that half hour of sports sports, sports sports,
uh is what makes makes you come to Fox Sports
Radio or Fox Sports One and watch and listen, because
(11:24):
that's that's the best of it, right, that's unscripted drama
and about as good as a get. Because your closer
was never gonna get to go back to New York
that game after that eighth inning, right, If that's how
you guys go down in the ninth.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Steve Cohen would have walked on the field with sixty
million dollars and said, you keep the rest of this
money and we're heading back.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Here's a check to stay here, you know, because I
can only imagine what was coming out of your mouth
down there after they gave up the runs. When he
comes in and he doesn't cover first base. That was Oh,
I'm glad you brought it up, though, because that was
one of the things in the note of Wow, how
lazy was that?
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Like?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Does he didn't even make a step, Like there was
no effort. I was like, Ah, it's either fall or
he's gonna get it. Like I'm I'm not even bothered.
Speaker 10 (12:08):
Hey, Jason, who's that who's that bum that calls the
games for you?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Come on? Do what you mean? How really did you?
Speaker 10 (12:15):
Did you hear the home run? The lind door home run.
I'm not gonna play because I'm not gonna waste people's time.
Stop stop it was so original, he said, linsanity in
New York.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Really that's what you go with?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, well, I'm sure the I'm sure the the tradeingar
paid today onanity went away.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Yeah, I'm sure it did. But isn't that the equivalent
of everything in Hollywood have Let's just redo something that
worked before.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I look, I'd like something a little bit better, but
I think this is lynd sanity. It's lynd l I
n d lynd sanity, lin sanity.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Just make sure you you know get that, because I
don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Can he say Lynd sanity and not have pay any money? No,
I'm sure the Lynd sanity.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Because you also have to re up every year, like
that's the thing people forget, right, you file the paperwork,
but then if you don't keep up, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Maybe you're doing how we got Winnie the Poo in
as a as a murderous bear.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
You got people running them up with the steamboat Willie property,
you know, remnant domain. Now what does that mean? It
means we can make Winnie the Poo a killer? All right,
there's pretty good. I haven't seen the sequels. Gonna kill
people with honey. He's gonna hit him over the head
with the jar honey and they're gonna choke door.
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Doesn't even know who Jeremy Lynn is.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
It doesn't know, And I don't care. I don't care.
You know what a horrible it was coming in the
nine and put it over the fact, I don't care.
It's the greatest home run in Mets. It's one of them.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Sure you have the Wilmer Flores walk off. I mean yeah,
I mean, look, that's the best part that the best
and worst part about today was this is one of
the best Mets wins of my lifetime.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I'm going almost going.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Back fi and that's great and it's also terrible, Like
really a home run win the end to get you
in the plass, one of your best wins.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Yes it is. I've only been to the plays. What
it is the eleventh time? Yes, right, the eleventh time
in that history going back to you know, nineteen sixty two.
As we've talked about ad nauseum related to my squad
and the twenty twenty four Chicago White Sox. But oh,
just exciting day. The fact that we then split and
(14:20):
those poor sons and guns in Arizona that had their
bags packed and we're just waiting. What do you think
that the booze cart was as soon as the final out,
it's like, all right, guys, we might have to get
on a plane, so take it easy. Not to hell
with it. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I could have told you after that first game Arizona,
don't don't even watch the second game. Don't because the
Braves were dead. The only thing mid why the brains
were able to win, because the Mets were deader like that,
that's the only like the Braves have nothing left, but
the Mets just decided listen, we don't care. They were
on the plane as soon as the game ended. They
were on the plane, right. Lindor is almost crying in
this postgame interview. The're hugging each other. DZ is going
(14:55):
crazy that they were on the plane already. So it's like,
I felt bad, Bob, Like, what are you gonna do?
You know, they kept it close, you know, kept it
close for a whiles the exacting they lost twelve nothing,
but what are.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
You gonna do? That's true? What are you gonna that's true?
They didn't get blown out quite so bad.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I don't get days like today. I get maybe one
day every ten years. And this was well.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I mean it's it's a hell of a rebound from
the low that you experienced with the Jets yesterday. I mean,
there's no question about that. Again, that may have been
may as well have been a year ago. It doesn't matter.
May probably does seem like a lifetime ago.
Speaker 3 (15:24):

to get it live.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
We'll remember that legend of the Kembe Mutumbo as well.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
It's true now, Jason. If you do get an email

little interesting in Miami. Three and a half left to go,
Dolphins getting the end zone, do not get the two
point conversion. They trail Tennessee now by ten. Meanwhile, Jared
(17:19):
Goff just at Jamison Williams for a seventy yard touchdown,
and now it's a two touchdown lead for the Lions.
Thirty five twenty late in the third quarter.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Yeah, it is Fantasy Day. Just got a lot better.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Time to break down all the big news in the NFL.
Joining us now on the hotline, Nobody Better, Odyssey, Washington
Post one of five seven the fan in Baltimore, Friend
of the show. He's on Twitter at Jason Lockin four
it is Jason Lock and for a jay.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
What's happening?
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Man?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
What's going on? Gentlemen?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Well, look, I want to say this because you know watching,
you know, seeing the I mean the game that no
one's watching the Dolphins and the Titans with it's on,
so we have to you know, the other game is
much more exciting. I know that, you know, watching this
game and seeing the Dolphins offense struggle, I know how
much flat to a tongue of I low it gets
for oh, he doesn't have the arms?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Does this?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Maybe he's the MVP of the NFL, because Wow, the
way this offense looks without him, it's it's hard to
make an argument that maybe it's overrated. I mean, he's
I mean, you see what this is, all these weapons
and it's really a difficult watch.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, it's kind of shameful. Man. They obviously have two
elite wide receivers that they've got a scheme, you know,
the outside zone Shanahan run that scheme that is pretty
tried and true. They paid some money to some offensive
lineman and they're a joke. I mean they are. They're unwatchable.
(18:47):
I mean honestly, like even that drive they just scored
on and I was watching both games at once because
I'm waiting on a particular result on that other game.
But I don't say it because I'll probably jink it
if I say what I'm want. But it was like
watching the precason football game, like even you know, for
them to be down that much and to be running
that much time off the clock, I'm just like, you know,
(19:10):
and Tyreek Hill is starting to lose his stuff on
the sidelines a little bit, like good luck keeping whatever
someone for that is left to be kept together down
the stretch. Like it just looks like it's a lost
season already. And I don't know, you know what that
means two are coming back if he comes back, I don't.
(19:32):
I don't you know. Week six, week seven, week eate whatever,
it might already look like a lost cause. And the
bloom is certainly off of McDaniels. Rose. Eh, he's got
no answers right now. I mean, they've got some talent there,
and I know they're limited the quarterback position, but like
I like, Huntley has never won a football game before,
(19:53):
Like what's going on here? I mean, it's it's pathetic.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
How about you just send Tyreek Hill back to gantasy
they could use the receiver.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Well, I don't think they want one making that kind
of money, just re you know, reupping with him. I
do think Kansas City will certainly be in the market
for a receiver, though I doubt it's Tyreek Kill, and
I don't I don't think they're gonna trade Tyreek Kill.
They're gonna need kyreek Kill for two down the road
or whoever the next quarterback is or whatever. But uh, yes, Uh,
(20:28):
they missed Character Kinnon in the red zone and now
they're going to miss Rice all over the field. And
obviously Hollywood Brown is not going to play a snap
for them this year. So my dog is just losing
his stuff over here. I don't know what hoping not
picking up all that NDIA sound.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
But no, what did he bet on?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
What?
Speaker 5 (20:44):
What?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
What? What? No?
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Dot what?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
He's hacking up along over here? Uh so, yeah, I
mean Kristin Kirk. I've got a few people whisper that.
To me, he looks like an Andy Reid receiver, doesn't
he like what the Jags are cooked. I don't think
the Raiders would trade Davonte Adams there, but they're going
(21:07):
to do something. I'm sure they always do well.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's the things you mentioned Davonte Adams, And after yesterday,
I think, oh, the Jets will absolutely overpay for Davonte Adams,
all the problems, all the guys with jobs on the line, A,
they'll overpay for Davonte Adams.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah, like they might try to and they might do it,
but do you think I mean, that's not the answer. Now.
It's funny. I've had people say like, that's what what
he will want to do, like people who know what
he well will be like this will go on for
a couple more weeks and and they're going to keep
getting their answers kicked. And the offense is an abject failure.
It's a joke, and Minnesota's going to suffocate them, and
(21:47):
pittsburghs gonna suffocate them, and the Bills are going to
suffocate them. And then that takes us up to the
deadline and they probably will panic and do something stupid.
But it's it's not gonna like Garret Wilson's a good
receiver right now, like they've got a number one receiver
got less targets this year through four games than than
than he did last year through four games. He got
less catches got way less yards. Like I'm old enough
(22:11):
to remember Breze Hall running for six yards to carry
the first month of last season with old stifflers at quarterback.
Like nobody's averaging now three point one? Like the quarterbacks
throwing twenty five percent of his passes to their running backs. Okay,
like on that's like bottom two in the NFL, Like
(22:31):
bottom of the barrel, pushing the ball twenty five yards
or more downfield. It is what it is he's complaining
about the weather. Dude, to four games last year, they
averaged four point seven yards per play? What do you
think they're averaging through four games this year?
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Four point seven?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Four point eight? So there you go. That's your fifty
million dollars quarterback.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Jason in Baltimore. There, how much chess do you know us?
After last night thumping of the Bills?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I mean it was it was obviously and emphatic win. Right.
That wasn't just your typical even for you know, a
team with a good home field advantage playing in primetime.
That doesn't happen all the time. Buffalo Bills were playing
great football, and they got absolutely manhandled across the board.
(23:23):
And if you don't want to like the latest Rayvends
singers the line right now, Like, if you don't have
heavy personnel to match up in the box when they
run at you with you know, two tight ends and
the fullback end Derrick Henry and you don't want to
blitze like crazy, then then you're probably in trouble, like
(23:43):
you might no numbers might not work for you defensively,
and they never did for Buffalo last night. And you know,
I don't know, like defensively that looked like my McDonald
last night, that that looked like Zach Orr found like
McDonald's old playbook and call sheet, and they had all
(24:07):
the answers. Well, they can run the football anything close
to this, guys, like that defense is not gonna be
on the field that much. Like it's it's just, you know,
it's nuts what they're doing on the ground. They're running
backs accounted for over three hundred scrimmageyards in that game.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yeah, you know, the thing Jay that I that I
don't get is that and I thinking about this last night,
is that for the last few years, it's been got
to get Lamar playmakers at wide receiver, right, and the
failure to do that, they can't get him you know,
they fly, they can't get them, they can't get him. Meanwhile,
it's like, no, no, no, just get me a running
back we can rely on that doesn't get hurt, that
I can give the ball to. And suddenly this offense.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Looks it looks like it's it's better than it's ever
been because and maybe that's what they needed.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
We get somebody who's a big threat running the ball.
It's not about getting the guys for Lamar to throw
downfield too, it's it's going the other way. And it's like, oh, man,
had you just done this like four or five years ago, just.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Like what could have happened?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Well, yeah, I mean I don't think you were getting
a hand on Derreck Henry four or five years ago,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
That was not somebody else, another bell Count running back.
Yet it would have been better.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Well I think that's what JK. Dobbins would have been
if he'd stayed healthy. You know, like I think remember
how few games he played, And honestly, at that point
in his career, Lamar refused to chuck down. He refused
to embrace the horizontal pass game. So Dobbins would be
frustrated because he'd be wide open and the flank and
Lamar would just keep it himself. Now, I mean he's
had he was nine for nine to running backs in
(25:32):
that game. I mean, Justice Hills got more receiving yards
than Jon Robinson through the season so far. Like he's
a thing. So yeah, I think, you know, I think
Dobbins could have been that guy. He just he was
never healthy. But they've got something really special cooking here
with that three headed monster in the backfield. And they
(25:54):
started hitting the taking a few shots under center, jock
upside under center, play action at heavy personnel twenty twenty
one and twenty twenty two personnel, Like they started unlocking
that a little bit in that game. They had the
big one to likely for twenty six and then Andrews
was wide open on the next play and dropped one.
But I think that's the next step in their revolution
(26:17):
is if you're a fantasy player, you have their tight ends.
I wouldn't bail on them yet, Like I think Cincinnati
Washington these next couple of games, I think the tight
ends are going to start showing up more downfield because
you're gonna have to totally sell out to try to
stop the run. You know, all the misdirection and all
the power and everything they've got going on on the
run game.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
See there you go, guys, the by low because the
pancake blocks aren't showing up in the box score. All right,
last one. I could either do that Joe Flacco is
still elite or Jade Daniels in the first four weeks
of magnificence. Choose your own adventure.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I mean I co signed both. You know, Flacco coming
and cold in that game and scoring. You know, it's
just like you left your cup right where he left
off in Cleveland. I mean, if the Browns had kept him,
just think about that. Yeah, I mean to think where
they would be versus what where they are with that
moot quarterback who is just and he's a loser. You're
(27:14):
not winning anything with Deshaun Watson, and everybody in that
organization knows that except for maybe the owner. And yeah,
this Jadon Daniels thing is legit, Like there's nothing like
Sony about this. Like, yeah, we can quibble about who
he's played, I guess, and YadA, YadA, YadA, But I
mean he Madekylin Murrayskylin Murgans like football, Yes, like it was.
(27:37):
It was one Way traffic. It was all Jayden Daniels
all the time. And there's still not that much volume
in the past game yet. I mean, there's there's some
potential for some crazy stuff there.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
He's on Twitter at Jason Locke and four that is
at Jason Locke and four. Check them out, honesty one,
O five seven the fan in Baltimore, Washington Post. Jay
is always buddy, appreciate it to have fun in the
playoffs with the Orioles. We'll talk to you next.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Week about it.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
All right, there goes Jason locking for ready for the
gotta be ready for the playoffs. Got ready to go.
I saw they gave you the template the Orioles did
on social media in case you need to bag off
school or work. Yeah, yeah, no, it's nice talking about
you have to be at the yard. Yeah, at the yard.
You're gonna be at the yard for some work. Oh okay,
that works, the yard for some work.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We got lots of lots of points to talk about,
none of them between the Titans and the Dolphins, but
plenty between the Lions and the Seahawks. But speaking of
big plays, Steve Desague will of course begin with the
biggest play of maybe the last ten years in sports.
Francisco Lindora's ninth inning home run to put the mets
in the playoffs. Steve O, do do do do?
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Did?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I don't think that's gonna work. I'll do my Steve
tosagre depression. No, no, no, you know I do have
a quote from the great baseball statistician Sarah Langs hope.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
She had a good one on the Mets today. The
Mets are great. There we go, there's Steve O.
Speaker 11 (29:12):
There we go. Yeah, we'll get to that little game later.
There are two NFL games right now and at Detroit.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
It's not over.
Speaker 11 (29:18):
Early fourth quarter Allions thirty five twenty seven over Seattle.
Kenneth Walker playing after an oblique injury. Third touchdown run
just now twelve carries eighty yards for him. Gino Smith
two hundred and ninety yards passing in a score, but
Jared Goff is leading, and the Lions quarterback is fifteen
for fifteen through the air, two hundred and twenty five
(29:39):
yards and a touchdown. Aman Ross Saint Brown has also
thrown a touchdown pass to Jared Goff two minute warning mercifully,
and the Tennessee Titans are leading at Miami twenty four
to twelve. Looks like the Dolphins will fall to one
and three. Tyler Huntley was the quarterback tonight, twelve of
twenty eighty one yards passing and an early fumble. And
(30:01):
it's Mason Rudolph for most of the game at QB
for Tennessee as Will Levis started but left early with
a shoulder injury. Tony Pollard eighty five yards rushing. Tajay
Spears only thirty nine yards on the ground, but he
has a touchdown. The star of the night, and this
one has been the Titans kicker Nick Folk. Five for
five on field goals and he's hit from fifty one,
(30:22):
fifty two, and fifty three yards out. Basketball Hall of
Famer de Kembe Matumbo died of brain cancer. He was
fifty eight. Cincinnati Red's legend Pete Rose died he was
eighty three. The San Francisco Giants fired team president far
Anxiety and replaced him with Buster Posey. At the MLB
All Star Game, players will now wear their own team's uniforms,
(30:42):
as it always used to be through twenty nineteen. In
Major League Baseball, an incredible game to open a makeup
doubleheader at Atlanta today. The Mets trailed three nothing in
the eighth, scored six times in the top of the eighth,
gave up four runs in the bottom of the eighth, Yeah,
and still one game eight over the Braves on a
two run homer in the top of the ninth by
(31:04):
Francisco Lindor. The Mets are in a playoff berth. They'll
play at Milwaukee tomorrow. The Braves clinched their playoff berth
with a game two win, three to nothing. Even though
Braves pitcher Chris Saal was scratched due to backspasms.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
He's likely out this week. Arizona was eliminated.
Speaker 11 (31:20):
Tomorrow night, the Braves start a best of three in
San Diego.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Back to You, Thank You, Steve O.

That's coming up next right here, Jason and Mike Fox

Speaker 9 (32:21):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. It's over in Tennessee. They thunk the
Dogs thirty one to twelve. Meanwhile, the Seahawks trying to
get back in it against the Lions and they are
driving now down eight thirty five twenty seven, still ten
(32:48):
minutes to go in the fourth quarter in this one.
G No, g No, we have more football coming up
in about ten minutes. But look today at a big
double shock. You know, you probably woke up and saw
the new use to ken Ba Mtumbo passed away at
the age of fifty eight from brain cancer. And then
shortly after the last game of the baseball season regular season,
shortly after the Mets and the Braves played their doubleheader,
(33:11):
we found out.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Pete Rose passed away at the age of eighty three.
There is not a lot of details right now. Apparently
he was found by a family friend. They don't suspect
any foul play, but it was sudden for Pete Rose.
Now the big thing is obviously Pete Rose had a
very complex legacy and it's not just about the gambling.
But to get us into this story.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Because I got to tell you there his last few
years could have been really, really different. This was him
recently from the Brett Boone podcast when he's asked about
his chance to potentially getting in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
You think you think Cooper sounds gonna happen one day eventually, Yeah,
but I'll be dead. Yeah wait, wait do I die?
And I didn't know, change of heart and put me
on the list and I go from there.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
So there was I mean, how chilling does that sound
you know, think about that from a while ago. Look
Pete's legacy from the gambling to where he is not
being the Hall of Famer. I'll tell you this, Pete
Rose would be a Hall of Famer if the scandal
from the seventies didn't come up five or six years ago,
(34:20):
where when he was thirty four years old he was
dating an underage girl who was sixteen ish years all
the time, there was a big discrepancy as to how
old she was. This came up years ago, year, a
few years ago, and not you know, thirty years ago
because of something that was said in an interview and
Pete Rose sued the guy who said, oh, Pete Rose
was dating a fifteen year old girl, and this brought
(34:41):
everything up again.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Pete Rose is then let go from his TV role
at Fox, which at that point was the new high
point of his career because the TV show with him
and a Rod and Frank Thomas was terrific, fantastic.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Watching him and A Rod talk about hitting was incredible, right,
it was incredible just seeing them back and forth, just
real quick things about hitting. It was like it was
it was incredible, Like this show really had a lot
of buzz. It was a great show. But when this
controversy comes up, it's okay, you were thirty four, you
were dating a girl who was sixteen. He gets let go.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
And that was the last thing for him because if
that doesn't come up, right, if that doesn't come up,
then he's in the Hall of Fame now because the
last few years there would have been that push of well,
look how close sports are to gambling. Now look at
the NFL and gambling. Do we really need to do this?
Has Pete served his time and we can let him
(35:32):
in And there would have been a big outcry for
Pete Rose to be in the Hall of Fame, and
I'm pretty sure he would have gotten it. Now you
actually have the commissioners who were yes or no, want
but they understand that, hey, this is a this is
a big player. It's a big thing to celebrate him.
And with the way our attitudes are about gambling now,
clearly you can't gamble on your own team and can't
gamble he was playing, he was a player manager, he
(35:54):
was gambling. Well, we see guys now the gamble in
the NFL. They get one year suspensions. Right, It's like
Pete's been suspense for thirty five years. Right, See, these
guys get one year suspensions if they're gambling on games
and they weren't supposed to. So I think without that scandal,
if that doesn't come to light, he's in the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Now.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Well, if they hadn't, if he'd done any of that
in the Rob Manford era, he just shrugged and moved on.
But yeah, yeah, you got rewarded in the Rob Manford. Yeah.
I mean, obviously the allegations related to the underage woman
girl at the time, I certainly complicates mattered. I don't
(36:32):
know that you'd had the ground swell to get him
in even with the change in terms of gambling, because
he still was the face of hey, this is wrong.
So whatever the CBA was in the NFL and the
rules of regulation different than Major League Baseball. I always wondered,
if Bartlett Giamatti didn't die a Bartlett Giamatti didn't die
(36:54):
in nineteen eighty nine, how long the lifetime ban would
have been. Yeah, if he'd lived a few more years.
But that's like the last thing he did death note
as commissioner before passing away. So it becomes the well,
you got whatever talks they had. You got to leave
it at that right, so I'm still gambling.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
At that point was still you can't no matter what
you do in baseball, you can't gamble. That was the
whole thing. Now, I mean, look at where the landscape
is now in twenty twenty four. Everybody gambles on anything.
Players can gamble on on game. Just can't gamble on
your own team. He can't gamble from your where you practice.
But other than that, the rules are pretty.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
But again that's NFL. The rules are League Baseball still
has the same.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
But with the general with the general acceptance of gambling
now where it wasn't where it was always in the
shadows before and it was illegal and who knew what
was happening it would have been because I think there
was a there was there was a much bigger push
of Pete's done his time. Pete's done his time for this.
It's been so many years, and I know he lived
a lot of his life with the hey, I'm the
best player not in the Hall of Fame, and that
(37:54):
was a big deal. But you hear him talk he
would have given everything to be a Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
Wow, I mean would have given everything back for a
number of right, one, that adulation that goes with it
being able to give the speech, being enshrined. But let's
call what it is. Pete was a businessman with all
of this too. He recognized and I heard him say
a time and time again, how many millions of dollars
not being in the Hall of Fame cost him all
the endorsement opportunities and the inscriptions for all the autographs
(38:19):
that you would sign over because that would have been
nineteen eighty eight. You're talking thirty six years of signatures
for an extra fifty to one hundred bucks a pop
to say hof whatever the year was. So, I mean
there was a huge financial cost to all of it,
as well as reputation and history. Look, he's in the
Hall of Fame because they've had the artifacts there. I've
(38:40):
seen them on multiple occasions. Used to spend a lot
of time at the Hall of Fame when I was
in the Northeast. But the fact of the matter is that,
you know, you get to this point, it's unfortunate that
you know, he never got to have that day, but
you broke what is the cardinal rule of baseball? And
I get it. It's water now that they've embraced billion
(39:02):
dollars of ads and all of the different participation they're in,
whether it's just down the street, the building next door,
or whatever. I get it. It's changed. But like that part,
I don't know that we've hit that part with baseball
writers yet, that where we have that tipping point of
accomplishment versus while I was on the beat when this
(39:26):
all happened, and I have to keep him out again.
It's been so long, I don't know how many of
those writers still hold sway. I don't know how many
of those guys from thirty five years ago were still
are still voters, are still there still, they kept all
the guys they didn't like that were quasi steroid allegation.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
So that was still late two thousands. I mean, you're
talking about that's fifteen years ago.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
You're talking about I'm going back forty years where people like, wow, okay,
this is a long time ago. This is before I
even knew anything about baseball. He signed off on a
lifetime ban, though exit ou about a Fresco exit.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Swallendome will have more on the complicated legacy of Pete Rose.
We got to Kevin Mtumbo as well, and now things
getting even more interesting in Detroit when it comes down
to the end of the game between the Lions and
the Seahawks. That's next right here, plus a different choice
for NFL MVP Fox Playoffs Francisco Lindor at a home
under the ninth inning. It's one of the greatest days
(40:19):
of my sports life.
Speaker 5 (40:20):
I don't try to claim that I don't care. Camera
would show that your face says something different. Don't one
of those highlights we really don't care, I really don't.
The other is I look, we don't script the show.
I mean I didn't get a copy of it. This
is not one of many other shows in radio or television,
so I don't necessarily know where you're gonna go, where
(40:41):
you're gonna drag it out. But I was telling a story,
So that's a I don't care. Okay, that's what I
was gonna say. I don't care. I was gonna say,
I don't care. That's all right, it's okay, it's okay.
We got you know, we we we double teamed it.
It was all good. We got it. We got the turnover.
We got turnover.
Speaker 8 (40:55):
Well, you said, Tommy Lee, right, Tommy Lee Jones. Oh,
I thought he only acted with Pamela Anderson.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
Know that. Boy, that would that would be a much
different video. It was Tommy Lee. Yeah, much different, much
much different. Yeah yeah, no, no, different different, completely different. Yeah. Yeah, No,
I don't care. I don't. I don't care. You're a liar.
I don't get a liar because it's no Mexican. It
may have been pushed down a little bit. Now you
may be suppressing it, but it's there. That lost to
(41:22):
the Broncos. No, no, no, might just keep saying it, that
loss to the Broncos and that backwards throwing bonniche you
know how great he is. No, no, that's fine. Everybody
tell by the way that that touchdown shouldn't have counted.
But uh yeah no they that was a whoa did
he come down with it and bounce? But it happened.
It's okay, Uh, I will you know, I will say
(41:42):
this for it's straight A big take off, a big
takeaway from from Monday Night football. Well guess what and
by the way, uh you know, just about the game
today and why the Mets and the Braves were such
a big deal. The Mets win the Game of the
Year in Major League Baseball, I don't think you're gonna
get a debate from anybody on that they in game
one of the doubleheader to make the playoffs and Landor
hits a home run with two outs in the ninth inning.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
It's it's something different about baseball and why I was
just it was so incredibly exciting, and I'm doing backflips
and the text goo back and forth, and it was
just that kind of special moment. I tell you last
hour on the show, I said, listen, I don't get
days like this right then. Maybe I get one or
two days every ten years like this with my teams.
But there's something about.
Speaker 5 (42:26):
Baseball compared to other sports, Like if it was if
it was the Jets and football, it would have been
a lot of yeah blakey blankety blank, and let's Blake
Andy Blake, Andy Blake and blank blank blank blank blank.
Different with the Knicks, it would have been yeah Blake,
Andy Blake, Andy Blake and the Knicks and Blake Blake
blank blank. But there's something about about when it happens
in baseball and why it's such a big deal and
why suddenly people who didn't have a dog in the
(42:48):
fight between the Mets and the Braves today watch this
game and they understand how incredible it was. This is
a baseball game that people watched, this is this is unreal.
Much happening right, Correctivity was lost, there's no times, but
it doesn't matter because I got see Lindor hit home run.
Is that there's something about baseball that when you see
this happen, no matter how old you are, whether you're
(43:10):
twenty five, thirty five, forty five, fifty, whatever it is,
you go back to being a kid. You celebrate baseball
like you did when you were a kid. And I
don't know why, but that's just the way it goes.
Celebrating something like this brings you back to that moment
when you first fell in love with baseball or sports
or whatever game it was. Football and basketball are more physical,
(43:31):
it's more it's more the emotional outlet of because the
games are more physical, but baseball is more Hey, when
I was a kid. It kind of takes me back
to that. And then Lindor hits that home run and
I'm flying around and I'm fist pumping and I'm fifteen again,
and I'm I'm fifteen in my basement watching Game six
of the World Series with the Mets and the Red
(43:52):
Sox going, I can't believe we're gonna lose this.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
I mean, that's kind of what it is. That's what
baseball does that the other sports don't do. It takes
you back to when you were a kid hid and
and there's there are probably eighty year old men that
are sitting around going, oh my god, that's just going dark,
and they're fist pumping in there, you know, breathing, taking
oxygen whatever it was.
Speaker 5 (44:09):
Oh my god, like that. That's that's what it was.
That that's what the reaction is like in moments like that,
and it just it takes over. And that's what makes
baseball so different. Yeah, to be fair, you do that
in Game sixty two of the regular season, I mean
we watch you live and die with each pitch and
failed u efforts by your closer the greatness, Well he
(44:33):
did didn't and then he didn't. Oh no, no, that's didn't
fail today. Yeah, I was made that eighth inning.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
I was ready to leave Daz in Atlanta, but then
the ninth thing happened.
Speaker 5 (44:41):
Now DS is eighth inning Like that was one I
wish could have been on camera, like we all forget,
like as we get to the playoffs, we'll have him
in primetime. You and I'll come on air as some
of those games are ending, others beginning, of course, all
of that stuff. But that eighth inning, I mean, that
would have been if you were ever gonna do an
ig live. I mean, you could have out done that
(45:02):
other guy who I will not name. O. Sure I
might have been able to. It might have been.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
It might have been even more profanity if that was
the case, because first of all, not covering third, I'm
not covering first.
Speaker 5 (45:13):
I mean, come on, man, how do you not cover
I mean, I don't know. If we would have got him,
We've got we would have got colled it. But come on,
it's just the principle of not even making a move
to first base, like that's that's the thing, right, go
back to your days, you know, coaching softball or playing
as kids and growing up like it was those fundamental
(45:33):
things where unless you were the manager's kid or you
were the absolute superstar, that's how you got your ass.
Planning on a bench, just plays like that, right, not
getting out of the box on it when you hit
the ball and watching it or just giving up on
I popped up, No all of those things, but like
this was he didn't even move towards first base, and
(45:56):
then that inning be unravels as it did. But to
your point about baseball is very much this and you know,
we get that little kid in you in the moment
because your expectation. Like football, I think we expect greatness
on every play. Basketball, there's a ton of points scored,
unless it's the eighties and nineties basketball, then you were
(46:17):
praying for a bucket now and again. But the way
basketball goes possession with possession, see me when we hit
the two minute warning and we'll go from there. But baseball,
like you're expected to fail as often as you do,
especially once the closure comesas like oh he's gonna nail
this down.
Speaker 7 (46:32):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Baseball is about failure. It's been about failure.
Speaker 5 (46:36):
Or that game today, first seven innings, Man, there wasn't much,
all right, I mean it's pretty basic, all right, Well,
are they gonna go down swinging? Or we're looking at
a game too, And then that eighth inning conga line
begins and all of a sudden you're invested. We start
texting back and forth. I found as many of the
great memes and gifts as we possibly could, and you
(46:59):
get into it for better or for worse, right knowing
what it was going to become, because certainly on Twitter
and I appreciate you all that out there at Swollendo, Matt,
how about Afresca. You certainly let me know what my
day was going to be like as soon as either
of those things right. The celebratory he blew it and
you writing I hate base baseball, But then I tweeted
(47:19):
out I love baseball because I love baseball. You loved
it against he did. He was ready to forsake all
of them. Exit out about a Fresca exit Swollen Dome.
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live from the
Tirech dot Com Studios.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
We'll have more baseball on the way. Really an unbelievable
day in baseball. But as we get to the NFL,
looks like the Lions are going to walk away with
a win. Here they stop the Seahawks on downs on
fourth down, a pass to Tyler Lockett and the end
zone is thrown out of the end zone. So it
looks like the Seahawks gonna suffer their first loss of
(47:56):
the season. We'll have more in this game coming up
in a few minutes. But we watch the other game,
and we watch it because we had to. You didn't watch,
because why would you. The Titans beat the Dolphins in
one of the most unexciting games in the history of
the league, thirty one to twelve. Right, the Titans saw
a quarterback Will Levis get hurt early in this game.
They came in and ran the football pretty well and
(48:17):
the Dolphins could do absolutely nothing. And the Titans get
their first w the season. They beat the Dolphins thirty
one to twelve. And yes, there's going to be a
lot of as a season over for the Dolphins most likely.
Do we expect this to happen?
Speaker 5 (48:30):
No, we did not. But let me throw this out there,
because this is makes a lot more sense than I
would say, send you thing. This makes it. It makes
a lot of sense, right is that? To a tongue
of I Looa gets paid by the Dolphins and he
has his detractors. The Dolphins offense last year was fantastic.
(48:51):
He's got his detractors. He can't throw the ball deep,
he can't throw the ball to a spot when he's
forced to get out of his element. We doesn't have
a clean pocket. All these things too, shouldn't have gotten
the money. Two is overrated, h to a tongue of
I LOOA might be the NFL mv BO. Look at you, right,
because you look at what this offense is and how
(49:14):
abysmal it has been without him, Because what do you
have on this team? You have a lot of weapons, right,
you got you got a chan and and you're talking
about throwing the ball up to Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle.
You got playmakers, man, you got playmakers on this team.
And still look what happens Tyler Huntley tonight ninety six
(49:35):
yards passing? All right? They couldn't get anything un tracked.
How do you not get untracked when when you have
these kinds of weapons? Right, this Miami offense middle of
last year was unstoppable, and how far this has fallen
in the last twelve games is crazy. Like, yes, they
lose the playoff game last year to the Chiefs. Okay,
for Miami to go on the road and play in
(49:56):
that unbelievable wasn't the third coldest game ever? Yeah? I
get that the Miami was gonna lose that game, right.
Warm weather teams are always gonna have trouble, So that's
always gonna be a thing. But now it's almost like
the Dolphins are a teardown because you don't know what's
gonna happen with tongue of Iloa if he does come back,
what is it? And the way they have fallen so fast.
But with Tua, this is still a team that wins
(50:16):
a bunch of games. This is still a guy that
throws over four thousand yards and thirty five touchdowns. So
when this whole oh two is this two?
Speaker 3 (50:23):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (50:24):
Look how the offense hums.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
With Tua at quarterback, how dangerous it is, how fast
they or how fast they play. Where he gets the
ball out. Just because he can't throw the football far,
it doesn't have a great It doesn't mean he can't
move the offense. Get the ball downfield, throw to a spot,
no where he's got to go, knows where Tyreek kill
is going to be, and Tyree Kill will run across
the field for the ball. There's a lot to be
said that maybe two is the most valuable quarterback in
(50:46):
the NFL, because wow, you look at what this offense
looks like without him. It isn't it is a tough
watch man. This was a tough watch. I mean my
eyes in watching two games, I know at least one
of my eyes told my brain, no, do not watch
it watching him up above, because we had we had
two TVs watching it, so we want to Detroit on
both the high either.
Speaker 5 (51:05):
One watch this Seattle, Detroit, don't watch this one, especially
after what you watched yesterday. You know bad again that
was yesterday, Yeah, you know bad when he's still there, Yeah,
that's all right. He's trying to get your you know,
Lindor hit a two run homer today to win the
game for the Mets.
Speaker 10 (51:18):
And let me in New York, it's an insanity going
crazy anyway, what are you Vin Scully doing?
Speaker 5 (51:24):
What a hit by Francis Lindor. All right, So a
couple of important things. Tony Pollard on the fourth down
call the end of the game, twenty four seconds left,
he got you your anytime touchdown, and he took the
game over. The total it was thirty six and a half.
So Tony Pollard, make sure to send in some flowers.
But the watch watch of that game and watching the Dolphins.
(51:45):
They're now averaging eleven and a quarter points a game. Yeah,
through the first four weeks of the season. Jalen Waddell
had four catches thirty six yards long of eighteen. All right,
so you can do the math on the other three
Tyreek Hill four catches twenty three yards with a long
of seventeen. No ability to push the ball downfield means
(52:08):
ah Chan is seeing the extra man in the box
because they know they can't get the ball downfield to
those weapons. And from McDaniel, you know, everything was about
timing and rhythm and playing on you know, at the
sticks and not getting behind behind the sticks as they say,
and now you've got everything that's just a disaster. Now
(52:29):
Tennessee's defense I would have argued coming into the game
had been better than perhaps maybe they were portrayed but
betrayed multiple times by the Will Levis turnovers in this game.
He goes down early with the injury, and you have
a pretty nice game. Mason Rudolph comes in, doesn't have
to do much, just guide the ship in because they
(52:51):
run for one hundred and forty two yards, forty attempts,
grind clock, get out of there because you know the
opposing offense is a disaster. Mason Rudolph apparently the latest
quarterback who was inevitable inevitable Mason No. I mean he
had a good run last year. But you have this opportunity,
you know, in theory for the Dolphins, not that anything's
going to be a get right game, but at least
(53:13):
one that you should be able to salvage. And they
were just blown out from pillar to post. You got nothing.
You know, you finished with one hundred and six yards
rushing on thirty attempts. That's great. Devon a Chan he
had fifteen yards. Huntley was your biggest threat running for
his life. He had forty yards in a touchdown. So yeah,
you've got problems. Most Church's not ready to come back yet.
(53:33):
We don't know when we see Tua placed on the
injured reserves, so how long he's actually out We wait
and see. But you're in a difficult spot with a
couple of huge defenses coming up from Mike McDaniel. I
don't know where you pull a rabbit out of your hat.
I mean, where are you going to find a quarterback
to come in? Because you saw what Green Bay was
(53:53):
able to do when Jordan Love got hurt. Here's our offense,
here's our machine. Hey, Malik Willis, we just signed you.
Ah exit up about a Fresco exit, swollen dome. Just
think about that. Maybe a little bit of Tutofiloa might
be the most valuable player in the NFL.
