Everything came in. We know everything, everything.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We need to know.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Cleveland is not are you sure? Okay? I mean Ohio

that I don't have an Ohio drops.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
It's not Okay, Well it's not my fault.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
We're gonna have to work on that and find you
the proper Ohio drops. Even on the show for about
seven years, you couldna find an Ohio drop. You got
Cleveland rots, you have Drew Carrey yelling. Okay, So I
just want to make sure to make sure you know that.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I mean, he doesn't even have a guy yelling who day.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
No, no, no, no, no no. I just want to
you know, before we got just here. Obviously, look, we're
gonna talk sports tonight, everything going on, tons of stuff
to get to. Uh, but I just want I mean, really, okay,
everybody knows what the calendar is. This is a pretty
big November fifth. Now, this is the day we're gonna
make the NFL trade deadline and the first college football
(01:56):
Playoff poll come out. We're gonna make it today. Well,
it's like major League Sunday deciding, let's announce all our
gold gloves we're making in the middle of an NFL
Sunday when there's nothing else going on. You could do
it on a Wednesday when there's nothing going on. No,
that's going on a Sunday. How big thing here? How
do we how do we how do you pick this today?
You all, we're gonna have the first poll come out
to you know, said, I mean to give you some levity.
(02:19):
I mean there is college football being played. Okay, okay,
NBA took the day off, but we've got other games
college basketball. It's like look over here, like, I mean,
I wore a divisive shirt.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
You wore a nickelback shirt today. Yeah, but it says.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Fan yeah or liar yeah no no, And it creates debates.
It does, and it gets you.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Away from the divisiveness and some of the rhetoric that.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
In the that people have.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Been in the black skull cap you're wearing right now,
like you're going to a rap battle against Papa Dai.
I would probably win, probably went well. I did you
always criticize the fact that I wore ball caps, so
I decided to change it up today. But you know,
but there's distractions, and then there's oh here's something pretty bad.
I think people have really looking forward to, say, hey,
we've been talking about the trade deadline in the NFL
(03:04):
forever and it's a different day, a different wide receiver,
and here comes the first college football playoff ball. I mean,
Jonathan Mingo ain't exactly moving the needle everything. It doesn't matter.
But we already had a bunch of trade badlines are different,
and this is still the deadline day.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
We actually have trades on like five years ago, where
it's like everybody make a deal.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
They couldn't have magued it out, could have made the deadline.
I'm just saying, you could have made the Hey, you
know what.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I should probably move the deadline to Wednesday. No, it's
hard and fast in the calendar, damnit. Likewise, college football said, well,
if the NBA is going to take the night off,
the NFL is not playing. I mean, even if they
have the trade deadline, Well, we can make some noise too, Okay.
It is tangentially tied to the larger conversation of of
(03:56):
of polls.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
And electorates and all of those kind of things. So yeah,
I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Guess we could run those concurrently now before we get
into the day of college and the first playoff, Paul,
and we got a big hot take for you coming.
I want to tell you I rode in somebody for president.
You did, I rode in on my mouth? Yes, I
rode in. I didn't write I didn't write you in
why what because you're your were in person. I can't
trust you to lead the country. How dare you look
at we're wearing a Nickelback T shirt.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
That can't be running the country wearing a Nickelback T shirt. No,
come on, man, I break people together. They're certain room
of wrapping arms around.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
No, no, you just said eight seconds ago it's divisive.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I'm divisive. It's divisive. But now I'm wrapping arms.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Round because it brings people to the table for a conversation.
It's not because hey man, i'd been million people bought
records from Nickelback. Okay, they may try to disown them now,
but they bought them. They did. You you know you
would be a great politician. But you just you just
said you were against that five seconds ago. Yeah, but
I changed my I don't really want me to go
(04:57):
through that. I changed my mind because I'll start going
in to the actual election state by day.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
If you want to talk about that guy, Hey, my
opinion changed.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The information changed in those three minutes, So I changed
my opinion. But I've heard that before. I could do that, right.
But I do want to tell you who I voted.
If I wrote somebody in and while it was fun
seeing all the writings today for president, you know cowboys
suck fire eber Flus that thread. Yeah, but you know
who I wrote in, No, come on, I thought he'd
(05:33):
throw that joke in him voting, not that he was
a cad. I voted. I didn't like to talk to
you for a few minutes about diabetes. I did not
vote for Wilford Brimley.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I did not.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Hey, he was a great and great manager once upon
a time, but when it's a thirty nine pennant, he
was great. No. I voted for former NFL quarterback Alex Smith.
For Alex Smith, wrote in Almoth, Yeah, I did well.
He's got a great story obviously, and stuff. He's overcome
come back how much the injuries. But there was one
reason why I voted for him. And I thought about
(06:08):
this when I thought about, how would Chris Berman announce
why someone was voting for Alex Smith? Okay, I'll bite boeh.
I mean, all these years you watched Alex Smith's career,
you watched the rise, he was a number one overall pick,
and the comeback from the huge injury.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Why would you want hit to elect him president? DJ.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I always think it should be someone with experience, and
he's already shown to be a great commander and chief.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
J I hate Alex.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Smith for that joke. Sounds very familiar. That was courtesy
of Justin Frossburg earlier today. Very nice giving you.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Credit, he said, I'm so using that pretty good.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I write everything he says except the Jets, But I dug.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's right in Alex Smith, great commander in chief.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Now the college football Playoff Pole week, well, first college
football playoff pole has been announced and is.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Not a lot of surprises.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
No, you have Oregon at the top, which is to
be expected, nine and zero, followed by Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, Texas.
There's your top five. Then you get outside the top
five again teams you would expect coming off the lost.
Penn State is still in the top six. All the
stuff we've talked about with Penn State for instance, where hey,
they can afford a loss because they don't have anything,
and sire they dropped to number six. Then you have Tennessee, Indiana, BYU,
(07:39):
Notre Dame, Alabama, and Boise State. That's who covers the
top twelve. Then just outside SMU Texas a and m
LSU is right there, Ole Miss, Pittsburgh, Colorado, Kansas State.
So that's kind of where you get a lot of
one two loss team sitting outside one through twelve. This
is already better than any playoff we have ever had
(08:00):
because how much fun and how much more interest and
how much more play on the field goes into finding
these twelve teams. Whether it's we're gonna overly value the SEC,
which is what this poll has done, We're gonna overly
value the Big Ten. We're not gonna let a non
Power five team, and maybe Boise State can find their
(08:22):
way in, but maybe not, depending how it goes. There's
already arguing better and trying to figure out twelve spots
versus four, Like half the teams I just mentioned would
have no chance. Well, Ohio State or Indiana's gonna be
out to only one of them is gonna win the
Big So you're crossing teams off already, whereas now twelve
teams make it in, and it's okay for a one
(08:44):
loss team or a really good two loss team to
make it in to the college football playoff. But the
main thing is you're talking about if you're in the
top twenty five. Right now, you have a really good
chance to make the playoff.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
You went out.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You need some help, obviously, but that's how it goes
in all all kinds of sports. You win, you go up,
you get some help, and you have enough at the end.
But it's already better trying to debate the top twelve
and more teams are involved than it is saying well,
here's your top four, because imagine if we're going back, Well,
here we go Oregon, Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, Well, Texas
has already lost. Well, you know what if these four
(09:15):
results hold true, Hey, there's your playoff?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Great.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
What kind of drama do we have towards the end
of the season. Hardly any There's so much more, there's
so much more interest level, there's so much more excitement,
there's so much more buzz. There's so many more good
teams that are involved in this. Whereas this makes up
for the well the specialists of the regular season when
you lose a game. I don't think anybody thought Ohio
State and Penn State wasn't special this past weekend because
one of them at a loss and one of them
(09:39):
didn't end. Oh, by the way, because there's twelve teams
in the playoffs. That was still the specialists of that game.
There was still a specialists of half a dozen games
that we thought these are the games of the year
so far in college football. None of that specialists have
been lost. All everything is good, and you're seeing with
the opening of this poll today that oh, I understand
it is going to be better already. Tell what we're
(10:01):
going to see is going to be better than everything
we've had before. Yeah, the gravity and weight of it
all is so much more uh grandiose, you know, even
on the election day. And if it gets muted here
for a day, that's fine because you got several weeks
because it's a TV show, right because you heard the
immediate outrage of how's Indiana undefeated? Nathan Well, who they beat?
(10:24):
Who'd they beat? That was any good? Okay, they're they're
thumping teams. Don't want to say that, you know, don't
want to dismiss that and and and marginalize it. But
the reality is they've got a test in a couple
of weeks. If it was if it was a top
four in it would be, well, we beat Ohio State,
we're probably in the playoff and win the Big Ten.
Now it's if we lose to Ohio State, we might
(10:46):
be out. If we win, we're probably in. So that's
nothing you still have to go and change and all
of those games that always had weight within conferences, that
doesn't change.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Right, You're still playing through. As much as folks want.
Has dismissed the Bowl games.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Tell that to the millions upon millions of dollars still
spent by all of these networks to fall over themselves
to get rights to them, because live sports is really
all all you got left in terms of attracting a
captive audience for your commercial times. I mean, we just
saw these Super Bowl ads were selling out at what
seven and a half million dollars in for thirty seconds,
(11:25):
you know when things hit New Orleans in February A
Fox like all of that to say, like these games
all still had great, great interest and great breakdowns coming out.
I mean even leading Sunday morning, all right, we're previewing
Week nine of the NFL. But we had so many
big games going and you even go through the rest
of the top twenty five, you got another four one
(11:48):
loss teams SMU, Iowa State, Pit Washington State sitting down there,
and then you still have army down at the back
end of the top twenty five that who knows, you
have way more games that matter because you have the
teams involved in the top twelve that need to win
to keep their ranking, and then you have the teams
thirteen and on who want to win knowing that some
teams are going to lose and we want to move
(12:09):
up into that top twelve.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Take care of your business.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It was a win win situation, a wild card, and
baseball people hated it watered down. No more cities are active.
And when we talk about trade deadlines right parody in
the NFL, we're talking about the trade deadline.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
For the last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We've had trades here and there, and then last ditch
efforts today to try to make some kind of noise.
Teams are still active, thinking they still have a chance
for college football. It's the same thing for their fan bases.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
They're still going to.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Be rabid, they're still going to be insane for the
final month of the season. Where in historically I've been like,
all right, do we want to go play our bowl
game in Texas or Las Vegas before the pinstripe ball. No,
this still matters. This is so good because in a
year it's going to be let's have sixteen teams. Boy,
this's worked out really well. Let's put as because the
(12:58):
biggest question, and I and I understand that that was
a bit of an unknown coming in, was all the
big games on the college football calendar, are people going
to watch.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Them as much?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Knowing full well that it doesn't mean as big a thing,
because hey, a team can lose and still make the playoff.
But I think we've seen this year. Nobody didn't watch
Ohio State and Penn State. Nobody didn't watch Oregon and Michigan.
Nobody didn't watch all these other big games that we
have seen so far, because well, if you win, you're
still in No. It's just like they're just like the NFL.
(13:32):
If you lose, okay, your season is not over. But boy,
you can't lose again, Okay, there's still the stakes are
still there, right, And that's why I never understood going
back to the first when we got the first playoff
was oh boy, I can't believe we didn't do this sooner. No,
everybody fought tooth and Noel the didn't want to playoff.
They want to playoff. Then we had the playoff. Oh wow,
that worked out pretty well. Now it's I don't know,
(13:52):
twelve team playoff. I don't know, a lot of push
a lot of pushback.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Oh, I don't know why we didn't do this sooner.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I'm telling you, this may be the only year we
have at twelve team, but we may go to sixteens
next year, go to sixteen team playoff next year. The
top four teams will get buys and we get five
through sixteen plays, then we get down to eight and
then we have the I mean, that's that's now it's
gonna go. But it's still one or two loss teams, right,
that is the ultimate thing. And like, if all of
a sudden it's four loss teams that we're considering, that's
(14:17):
good because parodies truly hit college football and chaos has ensued.
But as it is, it's one or two loss squads
that we're going to be fighting about. And guess what,
there's a lot of them, which means it's great for debate, radio,
TV and the regionalism and the you know, the conference
cheerleaders will be out in full force. Commander and Chief

situation so much now they're a bigger Super Bowl threat?

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Okay, let's go.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I'm alternate programming, man. I understand, folks, in the last
couple of weeks, how many political ads did you see?
You could have been watching the Wizards of Waverley Place
and suddenly I had someone telling you that you needed
to vote for some candidate. Yeah, but today is like, okay,
everybody's paying attention to the polls. It's like, okay, well,
now you're gonna give me the trade deadline. Mean, come on, man,
you gotta you know we have a talk on a
(16:40):
trade deadline forever. Now, now you can give them it
to me on a day where it's like the trade deadline.
Oh and and I'll try to keep an eye on.
I mean, come on, you know we can extend to
let you exhale A little bit. Can happened on a Monday,
could have done it on a Wednesday over here, serious global,
local conversations being had over here.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Oh shiny things ain't checked that out.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
He's gonna have a new uniform.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
What does that mean for the NFL landscape?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
That's good? I know. Uh, they got other stuff going
on today, So uh, how do we how do we
get the headlines for today?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
How about this? I got an idea, Steven Steven, Steven listen,
I got an idea.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
How about we trade for a guy who was probably
gonna be out of the league after this year and
hold on, hold on, he hits better.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
If we trade for that guy and we just give
up like a seventh round pick, no one's gonna say anything.
But if I give up a fourth round pick, oh hey,
every's gonna be right in and talking about the Cowboys, right,
So let's do that. I'll take the heat. I got
big shoulders. I've been making deals like this for the
last thirty years. Remember I got the Lance kid for
a fourth round pick. He's not even on the active roster.
So uh, let's do that. Let's go get it, doesn't
(17:46):
matter who it is. Just go get somebody who probably
is no good and is gonna be out of the
league in a year. Offer them a fourth round pick,
and we will get the news cycle all day today,
no matter what other guys get traded to Jerse jilleslusive
to David Teffer what should have been a conditional seventh
rounder and he came up fourth.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
And listen, do it early.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't want to get eclipsed by when when when
the Jets trade trade to Williams Kid. So just you know,
I want that to got to be the storyline whatever
whoever it else gets traded after big trades. I know that,
you know, za Darius Smith is probably gonna go. We
could use him, but you know that's not headline. But
we overpay for a guy who really is terrible. And
uh again, fourth round pick, third round pick. Maybe am
(18:31):
I to say, hey, Jerry, what are you doing? But
fourth round pick? That's just enough to get made fun of,
not enough to sink us, but enough we win trade
deadline day. Now you laugh this morning? You know I
get up ridiculously early. A vampire at this point. But
get the kids off to their school to work and
all that walking the dog and I start scrolling and
(18:54):
that's it. Hey, Cowboys are gonna make a move. And
Jerry's like, it's someone we liked when he was drafted,
all right, last.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Couple of years. Receivers that might be be on the move.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
What do we got? And then it becomes a fourth
round pick for Jonathan Mingo. I'm like, are you kidding me? Anybody?
It was great build up? You want to talk about
s get in there and sell, sell, sell, Yeah, I'll
buy in. I'll pay a dollar.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Even for that news.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
That's great. Jonathan Mingo a fourth round The Cowboys say,
this is where our path to glory is now with
Dak likely going on iron. We'll get to that coming
up in a few minutes. No, the guy we're gonna
go out again, not Mike Williams.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Not a guy.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
We're gonna go out and get somebody who really was
probably going to be out of the NFL after this year,
or trying to hang on with somebody in camp. Because
Jonathan Mingo is a second round draft pick a year ago.
He never flashed at any point last year for the Panthers.
He can't get on the field. Now, he can't get
on the field. Now there's an undrafted rookie playing ahead
of him.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Johnson got Dell and Adam Deals.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
It's hurt and I can't he can't get on the field.
So what does that tell you? Man?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I mean, what is that tell you about this guy?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah? I get oh we go back to his draft grade. Yeah,
but stuff has actually happened. I mean he's not even
like Malachi Corley who gets in for a case.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
See what I did there?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
This is you know, I got a drive by shit, Joe.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
This is like, this is like the person you have
somewhat of a crush on and you're like, boy, you
think they're great, and I think they're awesome, but for
some reason you never dated whatever is okay great, And
then like a couple of years after, you know, you
run into them and you go on a date and
you go, oh, boy, I was going back to the
person I thought you were a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
And we need your music. Now you're out of real
life experience, and.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Now I don't Wow, I really I think this is
I think this is the last date we're gonna have.
I think things change. In three years, things change, They
absolutely change. But yeah, like the build up this morning
and it started getting retweeted by all of the insiders
and oh, Jerry said this, and it was like, all right,
what are they gonna do.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
They're making a big splash.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It's Mingo. I mean, it's not ming the merciless Mingo.
Jonathan Mingo is And now you know, more people know him.
The only people who knew him before today were fantasy
players in Dynasty who drafted him last last year. Like
in the right at least a receiver that was drafted
in the second round by a team.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Okay, look it's not.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And the thing is is that it's not that this
is so unbelievably out of left field for Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
This is what he does.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I mean, this is.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
What Jerry Jones does. That's the sad reality of it.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And I'm really, I'm only saying maybe there's it's maybe
only a seventy five percent chance this deal is made
on the up and up, and maybe only a fifteen
percent chance. Really it was, Well, if we give up
a fourth round pick, more people will talk about it and.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Say it's a bad deal.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Like I really, there's maybe seventy five maybe only twenty
five percent chance that actually happened. But the fact that Dad,
I think we say day we got it more people.
I saw more people were talking about me than about
Harrison Trump, just just so we know.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
But it was there, was there.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I didn't read it. Steven read some stuff to me,
I need, didn't tell me a lot of words. He
kind of skipped over. I mean, I was trending more
than they were. You want to talk unning anything look
over here. No, no, I really I don't. I don't
get the outrage. This is what Jerry Jones has done.
He gave him a fourth round pick for trade lance.
(22:28):
You have a first round pick for Amari Cooper. Davante
Adams just went for a fourth round pick and he's
one of the top four receivers in the game.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
He saw Hopkins impact for the Chiefs last night.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Slip round pick. Yeah, this is this is how how
trades are done. But this is not how Jerry Jones
makes trades. And this is another reason why the Cowboys
are where they are for going on oh thirty years
right now, because I'm going to give up assets I
don't need to. I'm going to overpay for guys that
need to pay for and going to do this, and
you hear the same broken record all the time, Jerry
needs a gm J It's not how okay. Eventually the
(23:01):
day will come where Jerry Jones is not making trades
like this and somebody else is in control of the franchise.
That day is not today, and that day is not
going to be anytime soon. He is still going to
do things they shouldn't be surprising. When I saw Jonathan
Mingo and I said, for that, I laughed a lot.
He said, did we traded a fourth round pick for
Devonte Adams?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Like this?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Was this where Jerry just said Bernice hold McCalls, don't
let anybody get in and he called Tepper right away
and nobody knew, no football people in on the call.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
And I need a wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
We got the Jonathan Mingo. We've wrecked the second round
a couple of years ago. I remember his name. Yeah,
you know, I can let you have him for a
fourth round pick. Not let deal, deal, let's do it
Arkansas or something to where Jerry would remember him. Did
he keep them out of a bowl game?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Like that got crushed us. This is. I mean, you can't.
You can't be surprised at this because this is just
this is what Jerry does, and it's part of what
happens when you know you're not going to win anything,
you are going to try to win the battle for
attention in relevance. The Cowboys and the Lakers are in
the same boat. They know they're not championship teams. So
(24:08):
they try to win the battle of relevance and to
be talked about and to still have the status of
being the big bad franchises, the most popular franchises in
each of their respective sports. And they know it's a
weird way to do it, and it's kind of a
it's not a way that endears themselves to fans, but
we have to be that team. And here you are
on trade deadline day. Jerry Jones wins trade deadline day.
Why because we're talking about this more than we talk
(24:30):
about any other trade going on. Now that there were
other so large trades, but we're talking about a trade
for a guy that most people haven't heard of, and
yet Jerry Jones has found a way to make it
about him. This is what the Cowboys and the Lakers do.
Let's go get Brownie James because we'll win the war
of relevancy. Right. This is you can see their strategy.
When teams know we are not a championship team, some
(24:50):
are so desperate for the attention they go out and
do whatever they need to. You're not gonna have dak
now until the middle of December, and you go and
give a fourth round pick for a guy for this guy, seriously,
who couldn't get on the field, who may not beat
out Cavante Turpin for snap with the Cowboys. This is
what's actually proven something.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
This is what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
But the contrast to the Lakers, at least with Bronnie James,
there's a financial element to where you win. Right. We
get into this whenever there's big contracts signed and folks go, well,
why would they do this or that or the other,
you know, the the Sho Hao Tawani deal, And now
contrast that to whatever Wan Soda says like, there's a
huge financial incentive to go and find the dollars in
(25:34):
Japan and the sponsorships and all the partnerships and everything else.
There's all of that for Bronnie James, eight million dollars
guaranteed you could talk about the salary cap and how
they might have played some funny games there with with
Lebron's deal and everything else. That's fine, but it's gonna
be worth more than that to them, without a question.
Jonathan Mingo doesn't do any of that. The only headline
(25:56):
it wins is here's the latest in a long line
of idiot woves from Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Just because he can't right, why did you do that?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Because I couldn't, Because honestly, it's not like this was
a move made where the Cowboys were close, but they
had a big injury and this is how they filled it,
and they filled it badly. This is a move done
a day after you know you're not gonna have your
quarterback for the next month and a half. You're starting
your backup who can't put points on the board, you
(26:26):
can't run the football, you're three and five, and yet
we're gonna give up a draft pick of a fourth
round which is generally now accepted to be someone who's
gonna come in and start for you, not gonna be
a superstar. But you gave up a draft pick of
someone's gonna come in and be a starter for a
guy again who couldn't get on the field for the Panthers.
I could get on the field for the Panthers. You
get out there and say, hands, I got but I
(26:48):
can run, you jazz hands.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I could I get out there and I can run.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I'm like Wes Welker, man I Wes Welker never ran
a pattern his entire NFL career. I could just finally
off so my hands out, throw it to me seven
yards seven yards. As sooners you secure the ball, you
just shut your eyes and pray you don't get blown
up by it.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I just turn and dive to the ground. I always
always always go forward.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
So that that I mean, that's what this that that's
why this trade when you see it and and people
want to pull their hair out, But it shouldn't be
surprising because Jerry Jones does stuff like this. He has
done and now he's doing stuff the detriment of his
team just because Hey, we make a headline on trade
deadline day and it looks like I'm doing something just
real quick. On the on the Cowboys, on the grandiose scale, right,
(27:37):
Micah Parson's making some some noise talking about Saquon Barkley
and everything else, and that and that's great.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
He comes back to the field. Bland is coming back.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
They sucked when those two guys were running around the
defense before. So I started saying, well, they make this move,
it really doesn't matter because these guys are coming back
and the defense is gonna be that much better. Go back.
Remember the Saints were good against them with those guys
on the fields. I tell you, look, this is Jerry Saints.
It's Jerry Jerry ing right, this is what he does.
(28:07):
And then this is what I'm gonna give up, a
starting caliber player for a guy that I may or
may not even get on the field for us who
may or may not have been in the league a
year from now, and in a year where we should
just be tanking to try to get the highest draft
pick possible. Because as much as I gave Dak this money,
I'd kick him the hell out for Dion insaudor. So
(28:28):
there's a million times a year we said, like to
be a fly on the wall. Wouldn't you have loved it? Hey, Mike, Hey, Mike,
I got your gut. Steven, listen, don't get mad at me.
Don't get mad. I've got to promise not to get mad. Okay,
if we're bad enough, who would want Dak in the
off season? Just tell me who? Because I could go.
I could go and oh oh and c D two
(28:50):
like like like both of them, like Whouse because there's
a lot of money to bring in Shador and Dion,
like I gotta take money from the salary cap to
pay him to come and coach Cowboys. Just so you know,
I just want to just, you know, quietly kind of
look around the league and see what they're thinking about.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
That exit out bout a Fresca exit.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Swollen down The Jason Show with Mike Carbon live from
the Tirack dot Com studios. Right now, a man who
actually advised Jerry Jones to give up that fourth round pick.
It's Isaac Lowen Crown with what's trending.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Interestingly enough, I actually have Jerry on the line right
now reacting to your impression of him.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Settle just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
I don't have the patience to jack with you today
in all seriousness. Is the first time I've heard you do.
Your Jerry Jones impression is very very good.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
By the way, how about that thank you look thank
you to the lowen brow kid on the side there.
That was nice.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
That was good.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Tonight, let it be Lowenbrow. I remember that from the
nineteen seventies I met. I was at a party once.
Catherine Bach came up to me and said, you know
about this lowen brow.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I'm telling yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I was talking to Lonnie Anderson and I said no,
and I tried the low and Brow and it was
pretty good. So I gotta say, I always remember, not tonight,
let it be low and brown.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Catherine back back in the day, absolutely and Lonnie Anderson.
It was actually for a party for the Battle of
the Network Stars, as it was, I like it.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Oh no, there we go. I was at Battle of
Network Stars when I met Julie Christie. I was back
in heaven kwait days. I tried to make the movie
about the Cowboys, but it was about them.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
In the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Didn't know if they were going to win, so I
said no.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Did not have a Julie Christie reference on the Bengo boards.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Oh all, same party.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Met Martha Stewart only about fifteen seconds away from a
Gina Lola Bridgeta reference.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So well, hey man, we're just getting warmed up. I
didn't make the Martha Stewart book. She let me out
I know I'm in there somewhere, but she left me
out of that new book. I guess that's okay.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
You'll be in the movie, Jerry, Am I still on line?
Hard to say at this particular point. The first college
football Playoff rankings Fellows of twenty twenty four revealed earlier
this evening at number one, We've got Oregon, Ohio state
number two. Georgia is third, followed by Miami and Texas,
and then rounding out the top ten, Penn State Tennessee,
(31:01):
Indiana is eighth, number nine BYU and then Notre Dame.
World champion Los Angeles Dodgers revealed today that show Hey
Otani suffered a torn laborum in his left shoulder when
he was hurt in Game two of the World Series.
He underwent successful Arthur Scops arthroscopic surgery today and is
expected to be ready for spring training. The NBA suspended
(31:21):
Philadelphia seventy six er star Joel Embiid three games without
pay for shoving a member of the media in the
locker room after a game this past Saturday. While in
the NFL. At the trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired
linebacker Preston Smith.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
From the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
They also acquired receiver Mike Williams from the New York Jets.
The Washington Commanders acquired cornerback Marshawn Lattimore from the New
Orleans Saints. Back to Jerry and sorry, back to Jason
and Mike.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Thanks a bunch, Isaac. I appreciate pretty again. See can't
see at the Star. Can't get Loan Brown anymore, can't
get it anywhere, Try try to find it, can't get it. No,
can't get it.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I love The Jason Smiths Show with Mike Carmon live
the Tirec dot Com Studios. That's your trade deadline, Jerry
Jones day in a nutshell, Low and brow Coming up next?
Didn't also have a huge suspension for one of the
NBA's biggest stars on my bingo card today, but we
exactly got that. We have that coming up next right here,
Jason and Mike. Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
Live from the Tirec dot com Studios. We're here on
Election Day, Big Time Sports News. All day we talked
about the first of many trades in the NFL Trade
dead garin day college football playoff Pole. And now we
have Joel Embiid who got suspended by three games today
(32:51):
for shoving a media member. This is a a I
just got suspended.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
No not yeah, no, no no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Now, this is the story that you've seen for the
past couple of days. He got into a physical altercation
with a Philadelphia reporter, Philadelphia Inquired columnist Marcus Hayes, after
the team lost Saturday to the Grizzlies. Now Embiid hasn't
played yet. Marcus Hayes wrote a column challenging him and
mentioning his son and his brother who passed away a
(33:19):
few years ago. MBI did not like it, got into
a confrontation, shoved the guy, and we're waiting to find
out how that was going to play. And now Joel
Embiid we find out. He gets suspended for three games
without pay. Now he's got the suspension, he's injured, he
hasn't played yet this year. This is not at all
how we expected Joel Embiid to start this season, and
(33:42):
just going back from him the last couple of years,
Like there's a smaller take before you get to the
bigger take on him is that when's the last time
he really seemed happy playing basketball? Like, when's the last
time he was Because when he came into the league,
his first few years, he was fun. You know, yes,
he was trying to fight back from injury. He's never
actually really been healthy, but he was a fun dude.
(34:03):
He's trying to get dates with Rihanna and catching fly
balls in the home run derby. And every time you
see him now the last couple of years, it's a
headline that all, here's Joel Embiid, here's a fight with
a columnist. Here, he's not playing beginning of the year.
He's upset this I've done so much for this blanking city.
The big quote that came out over the weekend, he
didn't play a lot in the Olympics, so very quiet.
(34:24):
How happy was he to play there? Going back, the
officiating is always a big thing for him. Not getting officiated. Well,
he's hurt a lot. He can't stay healthy, so that
doesn't make him happy. Like I want the guy to
just be happy and I don't know the last time
he's really truly been out. He's never seemed like he's happy,
because every story is, well, here's something up with Joel Embiid,
(34:44):
whether it's an injury or an instance off the court,
or an instance on the court that turns into something
off the court. And now you have the start of
the season where the Sixers getting investigated because oh, wait
a minute, he's hurt.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Why is he hurt? Why is he not playing?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
So it didn't start off on the right foot there,
and now ye you played me serving a six game suspense,
a great example of the you know, if you're going
to go down the road if he's inactive, you can't
have it start with well, he's not gonna play back
to backs. Okay, the NBA doesn't need that to start
the season, right. We adjudicated that a couple of years
ago with Lebron and you saw it with the Warriors. Right,
(35:20):
remember that string of Saturday night games on on ABC
where every week at least two of the stars didn't play.
It's like, well, you still got him. It was like
they played rock paper scissors that you have to play, right,
And so the last thing the NBA wants is for
that to start again and for a resurgence of load
management talk. And then with Embiid, you're right, it's it's
(35:43):
proved positive once and for all. If you ever had
any doubt, a lot of money doesn't buy you happiness.
Like we needed another example, but here's a guy in sports,
a great example, great contract, maybe dealing with Doc Rivers,
maybe dealing with the local media and the fans and
the thickled this there in Philadelphia. A lot of it
goes to it, and certainly national talking heads don't help.
(36:07):
Great debate shows that dismiss categorically anything you've actually accomplished
in your career, is it wells up? And then this
column you take out two lines. It's a fair assessment.
But dude decided to go to the top rope instead
of just the elbow smashed. Nope, I went machio man savage,
(36:27):
and I'm coming off the top rope by invoking the
memory of a dead family member. Right, So, like all
of that to say for Joel Embiid, Yeah, you wish
he'd find health and happiness because he's a hell of
a player and a fun watch. It's never there enough, right,
It's and Here's the thing, is the long view of Embiid, Like, oh, Jase,
(36:49):
you have a hot take on it. No, I have
a long view of Joel Embiid. Here's how the rest
of his career is going to go. He will stay
in Philadelphia. It will be rocky like this. He'll be
in and out of the lineup until the Sixers get
to a point where they say he's no longer worth
it because he's not as good. He's breaking down. He's
a big man that's never been healthy. How long is
he really gonna be healthy for? He's thirty years old now,
(37:11):
he's never played a full season. So at some point
in the next couple of years, the Sixers are gonna
get done with the drama and they're gonna be done
with the fact that you see, Okay, you know what,
he's starting to deteriorate. Then he's gonna get traded and
there'll be a new resolved interest in Joel Embiid. Oh,
Joel Embiid's finally out of Philadelphia now here he is,
and instead it's gonna be more like Kevin Durant as
(37:32):
he's changing teams as he gets older. Oh, he's leaving.
He's leaving Golden State.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Look at him go to Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Now he's gonna have Brooklyn, and then each place he
stops at is gonna be a little bit less, a
little bit less, and we have the memory of a
great player who just doesn't quite affect the game the same.
That's kind of how it's gonna go for Embiid. He'll
stay in Philadelphia for the next couple of years. Then
they're gonna decide, Okay, we're moving on. Max's our number one.
We get another couple of guys into be around him.
This is how we're going forward. And Beid gets to
(37:58):
a new team and suddenly it's hey, wow, look at
this excitement. Now Joel EmpId, we got him here, we
got him here, we gotta be and he's gonna be okay.
But again he's gonna be injured and not in the lineup,
and then he'll bounce to another team and another team,
and I don't I don't know is he still in
league when he's thirty five with all these injuries. I
can't say he's gonna be the league at that point.
But that's how it's gonna go for Joel Embach. Two
more years on his deal, before the player option and
(38:20):
then unrestricted free agency. And I have to ask the
obvious question for all of America, since you've thumped on
this desk and canva like you were running for office
to get Joel embiid in a nick uniform car just
because he's not here, because Julius Randall isn't there to
be traded anymore. So now it's like, the hell with
this guy. He's gonna be just an average schmoe for
(38:42):
the next couple of years and then he's done. We
got big bodega.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Now I'm fine. I'm fine, We're a big bodega.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
We're good because I mean, you really did sell sell
hard for Embiand now now this comes out, by the way,
his first game back, it's gonna be against the niche
as the NBA Cup.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
She begins, what do you got, Frostburg?
Speaker 4 (38:59):
The NBA League office, guys is so damn soft. Okay,
how is that the punishment? If you want to punish him,
beat you make him play three games? There is that
thirty eight minutes a night. Oh, you gotta play the
entire fourth quarter? Joel, you sat on a lot dance.
I can get this.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
You have to play with the twos as well.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
That's how it's gonna go for Joel embiid. Hey, coming
up next, we have two big stories that broke tonight
in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
One is Shoho Tani

Everything came in. We know everything, everything.

We need to know.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Cleveland is not are you sure? Okay? I mean Ohio

Speaker 1 (01:18):
We're gonna have to work on that and find you

Speaker 3 (01:32):
I mean, he doesn't even have a guy yelling who day.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
No, no, no, no, no no. I just want to
you know, before we got just here. Obviously, look, we're
gonna talk sports tonight, everything going on, tons of stuff
to get to. Uh, but I just want I mean, really, okay,
everybody knows what the calendar is. This is a pretty
big November fifth. Now, this is the day we're gonna
make the NFL trade deadline and the first college football
(01:56):
Playoff poll come out. We're gonna make it today. Well,
it's like major League Sunday deciding, let's announce all our
gold gloves we're making in the middle of an NFL
Sunday when there's nothing else going on. You could do
it on a Wednesday when there's nothing going on. No,
that's going on a Sunday. How big thing here? How
do we how do we how do you pick this today?
You all, we're gonna have the first poll come out
to you know, said, I mean to give you some levity.
(02:19):
I mean there is college football being played. Okay, okay,
NBA took the day off, but we've got other games
college basketball. It's like look over here, like, I mean,
I wore a divisive shirt.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
You wore a nickelback shirt today. Yeah, but it says.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Fan yeah or liar yeah no no, And it creates debates.
It does, and it gets you.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Away from the divisiveness and some of the rhetoric that.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
In the that people have.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Been in the black skull cap you're wearing right now,
like you're going to a rap battle against Papa Dai.
I would probably win, probably went well. I did you
always criticize the fact that I wore ball caps, so
I decided to change it up today. But you know,
but there's distractions, and then there's oh here's something pretty bad.
I think people have really looking forward to, say, hey,
we've been talking about the trade deadline in the NFL
(03:04):
forever and it's a different day, a different wide receiver,
and here comes the first college football playoff ball. I mean,
Jonathan Mingo ain't exactly moving the needle everything. It doesn't matter.
But we already had a bunch of trade badlines are different,
and this is still the deadline day.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
We actually have trades on like five years ago, where
it's like everybody make a deal.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
They couldn't have magued it out, could have made the deadline.
I'm just saying, you could have made the Hey, you
know what.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I should probably move the deadline to Wednesday. No, it's
hard and fast in the calendar, damnit. Likewise, college football said, well,
if the NBA is going to take the night off,
the NFL is not playing. I mean, even if they
have the trade deadline, Well, we can make some noise too, Okay.
It is tangentially tied to the larger conversation of of
(03:56):
of polls.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
And electorates and all of those kind of things. So yeah,
I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Guess we could run those concurrently now before we get
into the day of college and the first playoff, Paul,
and we got a big hot take for you coming.
I want to tell you I rode in somebody for president.
You did, I rode in on my mouth? Yes, I
rode in. I didn't write I didn't write you in
why what because you're your were in person. I can't
trust you to lead the country. How dare you look
at we're wearing a Nickelback T shirt.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
That can't be running the country wearing a Nickelback T shirt. No,
come on, man, I break people together. They're certain room
of wrapping arms around.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
No, no, you just said eight seconds ago it's divisive.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I'm divisive. It's divisive. But now I'm wrapping arms.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Round because it brings people to the table for a conversation.
It's not because hey man, i'd been million people bought
records from Nickelback. Okay, they may try to disown them now,
but they bought them. They did. You you know you
would be a great politician. But you just you just
said you were against that five seconds ago. Yeah, but
I changed my I don't really want me to go
(04:57):
through that. I changed my mind because I'll start going
in to the actual election state by day.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
If you want to talk about that guy, Hey, my
opinion changed.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The information changed in those three minutes, So I changed
my opinion. But I've heard that before. I could do that, right.
But I do want to tell you who I voted.
If I wrote somebody in and while it was fun
seeing all the writings today for president, you know cowboys
suck fire eber Flus that thread. Yeah, but you know
who I wrote in, No, come on, I thought he'd
(05:33):
throw that joke in him voting, not that he was
a cad. I voted. I didn't like to talk to
you for a few minutes about diabetes. I did not
vote for Wilford Brimley.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I did not.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Hey, he was a great and great manager once upon
a time, but when it's a thirty nine pennant, he
was great. No. I voted for former NFL quarterback Alex Smith.
For Alex Smith, wrote in Almoth, Yeah, I did well.
He's got a great story obviously, and stuff. He's overcome
come back how much the injuries. But there was one
reason why I voted for him. And I thought about
(06:08):
this when I thought about, how would Chris Berman announce
why someone was voting for Alex Smith? Okay, I'll bite boeh.
I mean, all these years you watched Alex Smith's career,
you watched the rise, he was a number one overall pick,
and the comeback from the huge injury.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Why would you want hit to elect him president? DJ.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I always think it should be someone with experience, and
he's already shown to be a great commander and chief.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
J I hate Alex.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Smith for that joke. Sounds very familiar. That was courtesy
of Justin Frossburg earlier today. Very nice giving you.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Credit, he said, I'm so using that pretty good.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I write everything he says except the Jets, But I dug.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's right in Alex Smith, great commander in chief.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Now the college football Playoff Pole week, well, first college
football playoff pole has been announced and is.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Not a lot of surprises.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
No, you have Oregon at the top, which is to
be expected, nine and zero, followed by Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, Texas.
There's your top five. Then you get outside the top
five again teams you would expect coming off the lost.
Penn State is still in the top six. All the
stuff we've talked about with Penn State for instance, where hey,
they can afford a loss because they don't have anything,
and sire they dropped to number six. Then you have Tennessee, Indiana, BYU,
(07:39):
Notre Dame, Alabama, and Boise State. That's who covers the
top twelve. Then just outside SMU Texas a and m
LSU is right there, Ole Miss, Pittsburgh, Colorado, Kansas State.
So that's kind of where you get a lot of
one two loss team sitting outside one through twelve. This
is already better than any playoff we have ever had
(08:00):
because how much fun and how much more interest and
how much more play on the field goes into finding
these twelve teams. Whether it's we're gonna overly value the SEC,
which is what this poll has done, We're gonna overly
value the Big Ten. We're not gonna let a non
Power five team, and maybe Boise State can find their
(08:22):
way in, but maybe not, depending how it goes. There's
already arguing better and trying to figure out twelve spots
versus four, Like half the teams I just mentioned would
have no chance. Well, Ohio State or Indiana's gonna be
out to only one of them is gonna win the
Big So you're crossing teams off already, whereas now twelve
teams make it in, and it's okay for a one
(08:44):
loss team or a really good two loss team to
make it in to the college football playoff. But the
main thing is you're talking about if you're in the
top twenty five. Right now, you have a really good
chance to make the playoff.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
You went out.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You need some help, obviously, but that's how it goes
in all all kinds of sports. You win, you go up,
you get some help, and you have enough at the end.
But it's already better trying to debate the top twelve
and more teams are involved than it is saying well,
here's your top four, because imagine if we're going back, Well,
here we go Oregon, Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, Well, Texas
has already lost. Well, you know what if these four
(09:15):
results hold true, Hey, there's your playoff?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Great.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
What kind of drama do we have towards the end
of the season. Hardly any There's so much more, there's
so much more interest level, there's so much more excitement,
there's so much more buzz. There's so many more good
teams that are involved in this. Whereas this makes up
for the well the specialists of the regular season when
you lose a game. I don't think anybody thought Ohio
State and Penn State wasn't special this past weekend because
one of them at a loss and one of them
(09:39):
didn't end. Oh, by the way, because there's twelve teams
in the playoffs. That was still the specialists of that game.
There was still a specialists of half a dozen games
that we thought these are the games of the year
so far in college football. None of that specialists have
been lost. All everything is good, and you're seeing with
the opening of this poll today that oh, I understand
it is going to be better already. Tell what we're
(10:01):
going to see is going to be better than everything
we've had before. Yeah, the gravity and weight of it
all is so much more uh grandiose, you know, even
on the election day. And if it gets muted here
for a day, that's fine because you got several weeks
because it's a TV show, right because you heard the
immediate outrage of how's Indiana undefeated? Nathan Well, who they beat?
(10:24):
Who'd they beat? That was any good? Okay, they're they're
thumping teams. Don't want to say that, you know, don't
want to dismiss that and and and marginalize it. But
the reality is they've got a test in a couple
of weeks. If it was if it was a top
four in it would be, well, we beat Ohio State,
we're probably in the playoff and win the Big Ten.
Now it's if we lose to Ohio State, we might
(10:46):
be out. If we win, we're probably in. So that's
nothing you still have to go and change and all
of those games that always had weight within conferences, that
doesn't change.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Right, You're still playing through. As much as folks want.
Has dismissed the Bowl games.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Tell that to the millions upon millions of dollars still
spent by all of these networks to fall over themselves
to get rights to them, because live sports is really
all all you got left in terms of attracting a
captive audience for your commercial times. I mean, we just
saw these Super Bowl ads were selling out at what
seven and a half million dollars in for thirty seconds,
(11:25):
you know when things hit New Orleans in February A
Fox like all of that to say, like these games
all still had great, great interest and great breakdowns coming out.
I mean even leading Sunday morning, all right, we're previewing
Week nine of the NFL. But we had so many
big games going and you even go through the rest
of the top twenty five, you got another four one
(11:48):
loss teams SMU, Iowa State, Pit Washington State sitting down there,
and then you still have army down at the back
end of the top twenty five that who knows, you
have way more games that matter because you have the
teams involved in the top twelve that need to win
to keep their ranking, and then you have the teams
thirteen and on who want to win knowing that some
teams are going to lose and we want to move
(12:09):
up into that top twelve.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Take care of your business.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It was a win win situation, a wild card, and
baseball people hated it watered down. No more cities are active.
And when we talk about trade deadlines right parody in
the NFL, we're talking about the trade deadline.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
For the last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We've had trades here and there, and then last ditch
efforts today to try to make some kind of noise.
Teams are still active, thinking they still have a chance
for college football. It's the same thing for their fan bases.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
They're still going to.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Be rabid, they're still going to be insane for the
final month of the season. Where in historically I've been like,
all right, do we want to go play our bowl
game in Texas or Las Vegas before the pinstripe ball. No,
this still matters. This is so good because in a
year it's going to be let's have sixteen teams. Boy,
this's worked out really well. Let's put as because the
(12:58):
biggest question, and I and I understand that that was
a bit of an unknown coming in, was all the
big games on the college football calendar, are people going
to watch.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Them as much?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Knowing full well that it doesn't mean as big a thing,
because hey, a team can lose and still make the playoff.
But I think we've seen this year. Nobody didn't watch
Ohio State and Penn State. Nobody didn't watch Oregon and Michigan.
Nobody didn't watch all these other big games that we
have seen so far, because well, if you win, you're
still in No. It's just like they're just like the NFL.
(13:32):
If you lose, okay, your season is not over. But boy,
you can't lose again, Okay, there's still the stakes are
still there, right, And that's why I never understood going
back to the first when we got the first playoff
was oh boy, I can't believe we didn't do this sooner. No,
everybody fought tooth and Noel the didn't want to playoff.
They want to playoff. Then we had the playoff. Oh wow,
that worked out pretty well. Now it's I don't know,
(13:52):
twelve team playoff. I don't know, a lot of push
a lot of pushback.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Oh, I don't know why we didn't do this sooner.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I'm telling you, this may be the only year we
have at twelve team, but we may go to sixteens
next year, go to sixteen team playoff next year. The
top four teams will get buys and we get five
through sixteen plays, then we get down to eight and
then we have the I mean, that's that's now it's
gonna go. But it's still one or two loss teams, right,
that is the ultimate thing. And like, if all of
a sudden it's four loss teams that we're considering, that's
(14:17):
good because parodies truly hit college football and chaos has ensued.
But as it is, it's one or two loss squads
that we're going to be fighting about. And guess what,
there's a lot of them, which means it's great for debate, radio,
TV and the regionalism and the you know, the conference
cheerleaders will be out in full force. Commander and Chief

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Who decided, hey, man, we're gonna put the college football

make the NFL trade deadline up against election day.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Okay, let's go.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I'm alternate programming, man. I understand, folks, in the last

You could have been watching the Wizards of Waverley Place

everybody's paying attention to the polls. It's like, okay, well,
now you're gonna give me the trade deadline. Mean, come on, man,
you gotta you know we have a talk on a
(16:40):
trade deadline forever. Now, now you can give them it
to me on a day where it's like the trade deadline.
Oh and and I'll try to keep an eye on.
I mean, come on, you know we can extend to
let you exhale A little bit. Can happened on a Monday,
could have done it on a Wednesday over here, serious global,
local conversations being had over here.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Oh shiny things ain't checked that out.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
He's gonna have a new uniform.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
What does that mean for the NFL landscape?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
That's good? I know. Uh, they got other stuff going
on today, So uh, how do we how do we
get the headlines for today?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
How about this? I got an idea, Steven Steven, Steven listen,
I got an idea.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
How about we trade for a guy who was probably
gonna be out of the league after this year and
hold on, hold on, he hits better.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
If we trade for that guy and we just give
up like a seventh round pick, no one's gonna say anything.
But if I give up a fourth round pick, oh hey,
every's gonna be right in and talking about the Cowboys, right,
So let's do that. I'll take the heat. I got
big shoulders. I've been making deals like this for the
last thirty years. Remember I got the Lance kid for
a fourth round pick. He's not even on the active roster.
So uh, let's do that. Let's go get it, doesn't
(17:46):
matter who it is. Just go get somebody who probably
is no good and is gonna be out of the
league in a year. Offer them a fourth round pick,
and we will get the news cycle all day today,
no matter what other guys get traded to Jerse jilleslusive
to David Teffer what should have been a conditional seventh
rounder and he came up fourth.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
And listen, do it early.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't want to get eclipsed by when when when
the Jets trade trade to Williams Kid. So just you know,
I want that to got to be the storyline whatever
whoever it else gets traded after big trades. I know that,
you know, za Darius Smith is probably gonna go. We
could use him, but you know that's not headline. But
we overpay for a guy who really is terrible. And
uh again, fourth round pick, third round pick. Maybe am
(18:31):
I to say, hey, Jerry, what are you doing? But
fourth round pick? That's just enough to get made fun of,
not enough to sink us, but enough we win trade
deadline day. Now you laugh this morning? You know I
get up ridiculously early. A vampire at this point. But
get the kids off to their school to work and
all that walking the dog and I start scrolling and
(18:54):
that's it. Hey, Cowboys are gonna make a move. And
Jerry's like, it's someone we liked when he was drafted,
all right, last.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Couple of years. Receivers that might be be on the move.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
What do we got? And then it becomes a fourth
round pick for Jonathan Mingo. I'm like, are you kidding me? Anybody?
It was great build up? You want to talk about
s get in there and sell, sell, sell, Yeah, I'll
buy in. I'll pay a dollar.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Even for that news.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
That's great. Jonathan Mingo a fourth round The Cowboys say,
this is where our path to glory is now with
Dak likely going on iron. We'll get to that coming
up in a few minutes. No, the guy we're gonna
go out again, not Mike Williams.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Not a guy.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
We're gonna go out and get somebody who really was
probably going to be out of the NFL after this year,
or trying to hang on with somebody in camp. Because
Jonathan Mingo is a second round draft pick a year ago.
He never flashed at any point last year for the Panthers.
He can't get on the field. Now, he can't get
on the field. Now there's an undrafted rookie playing ahead
of him.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Johnson got Dell and Adam Deals.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
It's hurt and I can't he can't get on the field.
So what does that tell you? Man?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I mean, what is that tell you about this guy?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah? I get oh we go back to his draft grade. Yeah,
but stuff has actually happened. I mean he's not even
like Malachi Corley who gets in for a case.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
See what I did there?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
This is you know, I got a drive by shit, Joe.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
This is like, this is like the person you have
somewhat of a crush on and you're like, boy, you
think they're great, and I think they're awesome, but for
some reason you never dated whatever is okay great, And
then like a couple of years after, you know, you
run into them and you go on a date and
you go, oh, boy, I was going back to the
person I thought you were a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
And we need your music. Now you're out of real
life experience, and.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Now I don't Wow, I really I think this is
I think this is the last date we're gonna have.
I think things change. In three years, things change, They
absolutely change. But yeah, like the build up this morning
and it started getting retweeted by all of the insiders
and oh, Jerry said this, and it was like, all right,
what are they gonna do.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
They're making a big splash.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It's Mingo. I mean, it's not ming the merciless Mingo.
Jonathan Mingo is And now you know, more people know him.
The only people who knew him before today were fantasy
players in Dynasty who drafted him last last year. Like
in the right at least a receiver that was drafted
in the second round by a team.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Okay, look it's not.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And the thing is is that it's not that this
is so unbelievably out of left field for Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
This is what he does.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I mean, this is.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
What Jerry Jones does. That's the sad reality of it.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And I'm really, I'm only saying maybe there's it's maybe
only a seventy five percent chance this deal is made
on the up and up, and maybe only a fifteen
percent chance. Really it was, Well, if we give up
a fourth round pick, more people will talk about it and.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Say it's a bad deal.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Like I really, there's maybe seventy five maybe only twenty
five percent chance that actually happened. But the fact that Dad,
I think we say day we got it more people.
I saw more people were talking about me than about
Harrison Trump, just just so we know.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
But it was there, was there.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I didn't read it. Steven read some stuff to me,
I need, didn't tell me a lot of words. He
kind of skipped over. I mean, I was trending more
than they were. You want to talk unning anything look
over here. No, no, I really I don't. I don't
get the outrage. This is what Jerry Jones has done.
He gave him a fourth round pick for trade lance.
(22:28):
You have a first round pick for Amari Cooper. Davante
Adams just went for a fourth round pick and he's
one of the top four receivers in the game.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
He saw Hopkins impact for the Chiefs last night.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Slip round pick. Yeah, this is this is how how
trades are done. But this is not how Jerry Jones
makes trades. And this is another reason why the Cowboys
are where they are for going on oh thirty years
right now, because I'm going to give up assets I
don't need to. I'm going to overpay for guys that
need to pay for and going to do this, and
you hear the same broken record all the time, Jerry
needs a gm J It's not how okay. Eventually the
(23:01):
day will come where Jerry Jones is not making trades
like this and somebody else is in control of the franchise.
That day is not today, and that day is not
going to be anytime soon. He is still going to
do things they shouldn't be surprising. When I saw Jonathan
Mingo and I said, for that, I laughed a lot.
He said, did we traded a fourth round pick for
Devonte Adams?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Like this?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Was this where Jerry just said Bernice hold McCalls, don't
let anybody get in and he called Tepper right away
and nobody knew, no football people in on the call.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
And I need a wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
We got the Jonathan Mingo. We've wrecked the second round
a couple of years ago. I remember his name. Yeah,
you know, I can let you have him for a
fourth round pick. Not let deal, deal, let's do it
Arkansas or something to where Jerry would remember him. Did
he keep them out of a bowl game?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Like that got crushed us. This is. I mean, you can't.
You can't be surprised at this because this is just
this is what Jerry does, and it's part of what
happens when you know you're not going to win anything,
you are going to try to win the battle for
attention in relevance. The Cowboys and the Lakers are in
the same boat. They know they're not championship teams. So
(24:08):
they try to win the battle of relevance and to
be talked about and to still have the status of
being the big bad franchises, the most popular franchises in
each of their respective sports. And they know it's a
weird way to do it, and it's kind of a
it's not a way that endears themselves to fans, but
we have to be that team. And here you are
on trade deadline day. Jerry Jones wins trade deadline day.
Why because we're talking about this more than we talk
(24:30):
about any other trade going on. Now that there were
other so large trades, but we're talking about a trade
for a guy that most people haven't heard of, and
yet Jerry Jones has found a way to make it
about him. This is what the Cowboys and the Lakers do.
Let's go get Brownie James because we'll win the war
of relevancy. Right. This is you can see their strategy.
When teams know we are not a championship team, some
(24:50):
are so desperate for the attention they go out and
do whatever they need to. You're not gonna have dak
now until the middle of December, and you go and
give a fourth round pick for a guy for this guy, seriously,
who couldn't get on the field, who may not beat
out Cavante Turpin for snap with the Cowboys. This is
what's actually proven something.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
This is what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
But the contrast to the Lakers, at least with Bronnie James,
there's a financial element to where you win. Right. We
get into this whenever there's big contracts signed and folks go, well,
why would they do this or that or the other,
you know, the the Sho Hao Tawani deal, And now
contrast that to whatever Wan Soda says like, there's a
huge financial incentive to go and find the dollars in
(25:34):
Japan and the sponsorships and all the partnerships and everything else.
There's all of that for Bronnie James, eight million dollars
guaranteed you could talk about the salary cap and how
they might have played some funny games there with with
Lebron's deal and everything else. That's fine, but it's gonna
be worth more than that to them, without a question.
Jonathan Mingo doesn't do any of that. The only headline
(25:56):
it wins is here's the latest in a long line
of idiot woves from Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Just because he can't right, why did you do that?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Because I couldn't, Because honestly, it's not like this was
a move made where the Cowboys were close, but they
had a big injury and this is how they filled it,
and they filled it badly. This is a move done
a day after you know you're not gonna have your
quarterback for the next month and a half. You're starting
your backup who can't put points on the board, you
(26:26):
can't run the football, you're three and five, and yet
we're gonna give up a draft pick of a fourth
round which is generally now accepted to be someone who's
gonna come in and start for you, not gonna be
a superstar. But you gave up a draft pick of
someone's gonna come in and be a starter for a
guy again who couldn't get on the field for the Panthers.
I could get on the field for the Panthers. You
get out there and say, hands, I got but I
(26:48):
can run, you jazz hands.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I could I get out there and I can run.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I'm like Wes Welker, man I Wes Welker never ran
a pattern his entire NFL career. I could just finally
off so my hands out, throw it to me seven
yards seven yards. As sooners you secure the ball, you
just shut your eyes and pray you don't get blown
up by it.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I just turn and dive to the ground. I always
always always go forward.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
So that that I mean, that's what this that that's
why this trade when you see it and and people
want to pull their hair out, But it shouldn't be
surprising because Jerry Jones does stuff like this. He has
done and now he's doing stuff the detriment of his
team just because Hey, we make a headline on trade
deadline day and it looks like I'm doing something just
real quick. On the on the Cowboys, on the grandiose scale, right,
(27:37):
Micah Parson's making some some noise talking about Saquon Barkley
and everything else, and that and that's great.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
He comes back to the field. Bland is coming back.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
They sucked when those two guys were running around the
defense before. So I started saying, well, they make this move,
it really doesn't matter because these guys are coming back
and the defense is gonna be that much better. Go back.
Remember the Saints were good against them with those guys
on the fields. I tell you, look, this is Jerry Saints.
It's Jerry Jerry ing right, this is what he does.
(28:07):
And then this is what I'm gonna give up, a
starting caliber player for a guy that I may or
may not even get on the field for us who
may or may not have been in the league a
year from now, and in a year where we should
just be tanking to try to get the highest draft
pick possible. Because as much as I gave Dak this money,
I'd kick him the hell out for Dion insaudor. So
(28:28):
there's a million times a year we said, like to
be a fly on the wall. Wouldn't you have loved it? Hey, Mike, Hey, Mike,
I got your gut. Steven, listen, don't get mad at me.
Don't get mad. I've got to promise not to get mad. Okay,
if we're bad enough, who would want Dak in the
off season? Just tell me who? Because I could go.
I could go and oh oh and c D two
(28:50):
like like like both of them, like Whouse because there's
a lot of money to bring in Shador and Dion,
like I gotta take money from the salary cap to
pay him to come and coach Cowboys. Just so you know,
I just want to just, you know, quietly kind of
look around the league and see what they're thinking about.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
That exit out bout a Fresca exit.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Swollen down The Jason Show with Mike Carbon live from
the Tirack dot Com studios. Right now, a man who
actually advised Jerry Jones to give up that fourth round pick.
It's Isaac Lowen Crown with what's trending.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Interestingly enough, I actually have Jerry on the line right
now reacting to your impression of him.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Settle just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
I don't have the patience to jack with you today
in all seriousness. Is the first time I've heard you do.
Your Jerry Jones impression is very very good.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
By the way, how about that thank you look thank
you to the lowen brow kid on the side there.
That was nice.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
That was good.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Tonight, let it be Lowenbrow. I remember that from the
nineteen seventies I met. I was at a party once.
Catherine Bach came up to me and said, you know
about this lowen brow.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I'm telling yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I was talking to Lonnie Anderson and I said no,
and I tried the low and Brow and it was
pretty good. So I gotta say, I always remember, not tonight,
let it be low and brown.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Catherine back back in the day, absolutely and Lonnie Anderson.
It was actually for a party for the Battle of
the Network Stars, as it was, I like it.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Oh no, there we go. I was at Battle of
Network Stars when I met Julie Christie. I was back
in heaven kwait days. I tried to make the movie
about the Cowboys, but it was about them.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
In the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Didn't know if they were going to win, so I
said no.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Did not have a Julie Christie reference on the Bengo boards.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Oh all, same party.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Met Martha Stewart only about fifteen seconds away from a
Gina Lola Bridgeta reference.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So well, hey man, we're just getting warmed up. I
didn't make the Martha Stewart book. She let me out
I know I'm in there somewhere, but she left me
out of that new book. I guess that's okay.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
You'll be in the movie, Jerry, Am I still on line?
Hard to say at this particular point. The first college
football Playoff rankings Fellows of twenty twenty four revealed earlier

get it anywhere, Try try to find it, can't get it. No,

Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Speaker 1 (32:28):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
Live from the Tirec dot com Studios. We're here on
Election Day, Big Time Sports News. All day we talked
about the first of many trades in the NFL Trade
dead garin day college football playoff Pole. And now we
have Joel Embiid who got suspended by three games today
(32:51):
for shoving a media member. This is a a I
just got suspended.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
No not yeah, no, no no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Now, this is the story that you've seen for the
past couple of days. He got into a physical altercation
with a Philadelphia reporter, Philadelphia Inquired columnist Marcus Hayes, after
the team lost Saturday to the Grizzlies. Now Embiid hasn't
played yet. Marcus Hayes wrote a column challenging him and
mentioning his son and his brother who passed away a
(33:19):
few years ago. MBI did not like it, got into
a confrontation, shoved the guy, and we're waiting to find
out how that was going to play. And now Joel
Embiid we find out. He gets suspended for three games
without pay. Now he's got the suspension, he's injured, he
hasn't played yet this year. This is not at all
how we expected Joel Embiid to start this season, and
(33:42):
just going back from him the last couple of years,
Like there's a smaller take before you get to the
bigger take on him is that when's the last time
he really seemed happy playing basketball? Like, when's the last
time he was Because when he came into the league,
his first few years, he was fun. You know, yes,
he was trying to fight back from injury. He's never
actually really been healthy, but he was a fun dude.
(34:03):
He's trying to get dates with Rihanna and catching fly
balls in the home run derby. And every time you
see him now the last couple of years, it's a
headline that all, here's Joel Embiid, here's a fight with
a columnist. Here, he's not playing beginning of the year.
He's upset this I've done so much for this blanking city.
The big quote that came out over the weekend, he
didn't play a lot in the Olympics, so very quiet.
(34:24):
How happy was he to play there? Going back, the
officiating is always a big thing for him. Not getting officiated. Well,
he's hurt a lot. He can't stay healthy, so that
doesn't make him happy. Like I want the guy to
just be happy and I don't know the last time
he's really truly been out. He's never seemed like he's happy,
because every story is, well, here's something up with Joel Embiid,
(34:44):
whether it's an injury or an instance off the court,
or an instance on the court that turns into something
off the court. And now you have the start of
the season where the Sixers getting investigated because oh, wait
a minute, he's hurt.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Why is he hurt? Why is he not playing?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
So it didn't start off on the right foot there,
and now ye you played me serving a six game suspense,
a great example of the you know, if you're going
to go down the road if he's inactive, you can't
have it start with well, he's not gonna play back
to backs. Okay, the NBA doesn't need that to start
the season, right. We adjudicated that a couple of years
ago with Lebron and you saw it with the Warriors. Right,
(35:20):
remember that string of Saturday night games on on ABC
where every week at least two of the stars didn't play.
It's like, well, you still got him. It was like
they played rock paper scissors that you have to play, right,
And so the last thing the NBA wants is for
that to start again and for a resurgence of load
management talk. And then with Embiid, you're right, it's it's
(35:43):
proved positive once and for all. If you ever had
any doubt, a lot of money doesn't buy you happiness.
Like we needed another example, but here's a guy in sports,
a great example, great contract, maybe dealing with Doc Rivers,
maybe dealing with the local media and the fans and
the thickled this there in Philadelphia. A lot of it
goes to it, and certainly national talking heads don't help.
(36:07):
Great debate shows that dismiss categorically anything you've actually accomplished
in your career, is it wells up? And then this
column you take out two lines. It's a fair assessment.
But dude decided to go to the top rope instead
of just the elbow smashed. Nope, I went machio man savage,
(36:27):
and I'm coming off the top rope by invoking the
memory of a dead family member. Right, So, like all
of that to say for Joel Embiid, Yeah, you wish
he'd find health and happiness because he's a hell of
a player and a fun watch. It's never there enough, right,
It's and Here's the thing, is the long view of Embiid, Like, oh, Jase,
(36:49):
you have a hot take on it. No, I have
a long view of Joel Embiid. Here's how the rest
of his career is going to go. He will stay
in Philadelphia. It will be rocky like this. He'll be
in and out of the lineup until the Sixers get
to a point where they say he's no longer worth
it because he's not as good. He's breaking down. He's
a big man that's never been healthy. How long is
he really gonna be healthy for? He's thirty years old now,
(37:11):
he's never played a full season. So at some point
in the next couple of years, the Sixers are gonna
get done with the drama and they're gonna be done
with the fact that you see, Okay, you know what,
he's starting to deteriorate. Then he's gonna get traded and
there'll be a new resolved interest in Joel Embiid. Oh,
Joel Embiid's finally out of Philadelphia now here he is,
and instead it's gonna be more like Kevin Durant as
(37:32):
he's changing teams as he gets older. Oh, he's leaving.
He's leaving Golden State.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Look at him go to Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Now he's gonna have Brooklyn, and then each place he
stops at is gonna be a little bit less, a
little bit less, and we have the memory of a
great player who just doesn't quite affect the game the same.
That's kind of how it's gonna go for Embiid. He'll
stay in Philadelphia for the next couple of years. Then
they're gonna decide, Okay, we're moving on. Max's our number one.
We get another couple of guys into be around him.
This is how we're going forward. And Beid gets to
(37:58):
a new team and suddenly it's hey, wow, look at
this excitement. Now Joel EmpId, we got him here, we
got him here, we gotta be and he's gonna be okay.
But again he's gonna be injured and not in the lineup,
and then he'll bounce to another team and another team,
and I don't I don't know is he still in
league when he's thirty five with all these injuries. I
can't say he's gonna be the league at that point.
But that's how it's gonna go for Joel Embach. Two
more years on his deal, before the player option and
(38:20):
then unrestricted free agency. And I have to ask the
obvious question for all of America, since you've thumped on
this desk and canva like you were running for office
to get Joel embiid in a nick uniform car just
because he's not here, because Julius Randall isn't there to
be traded anymore. So now it's like, the hell with
this guy. He's gonna be just an average schmoe for
(38:42):
the next couple of years and then he's done. We
got big bodega.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Now I'm fine. I'm fine, We're a big bodega.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
We're good because I mean, you really did sell sell
hard for Embiand now now this comes out, by the way,
his first game back, it's gonna be against the niche
as the NBA Cup.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
She begins, what do you got, Frostburg?
Speaker 4 (38:59):
The NBA League office, guys is so damn soft. Okay,
how is that the punishment? If you want to punish him,
beat you make him play three games? There is that
thirty eight minutes a night. Oh, you gotta play the
entire fourth quarter? Joel, you sat on a lot dance.
I can get this.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
You have to play with the twos as well.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
That's how it's gonna go for Joel embiid. Hey, coming
up next, we have two big stories that broke tonight
in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
One is Shoho Tani
