(00:50):
So before we get into that big baseball story, we
have a big shocking retirement to tell you about. Shakka. Yes,
did not see this coming? Oh whoa whoas a while
with everything swirling around in the globe, I mean, that's
one hell of a tease. Right. This is not a
retiring time, right, this is no baseball Season's just that
you know, this is not a retiring time. But we
have a big retirement. Uh, it just came out and

(01:14):
this person's not going to compete again. Uh, this is
a big deal and it's someone who we send our
best to. Aaron Rodgers, Yes, stops, he had a good run.
I mean, if you're gonna go out, that was a
hell of a game to go out. That's where you
were going touchdowns to Garrett Well. No, don't make people
think that's actually real. You guys, Javante Adams, it was

(01:36):
a great roll. I help you. Aaron Rodgers is not well.
I mean he's thirty to one to be the next president. No,
uh no, I don't think so. I don't it's on
the board. I don't think thirty to with that, I
don't think so. Uh No, retiring declaring I cannot bring

(01:58):
myself to battle again following the backlash that I had
Ray Gun, Well, I was gonna say, shouldn't I read
my own statements that you had me going to a
Papa duct rap back? Rey Gun is retiring from competing
and break dancing the last kangaroo bounce from Raygun. It's terrible. Yeah,

(02:20):
I mean, just from each people. Is that what's the
the new gig is or a hustle. I'm gonna teach
you how to break dance like me, you know. And
the thing is is that you know when you say
there's always things that come to your mind when you
say an athlete's name, and there's certain things that you
think of. And whenever you say rey Gun, I think
of the same thing. I think of the Jiff where
she's like one of the creatures in Thriller where she's

(02:42):
just got the one leg up back and her hands
are up like like she's gonna attack you, and like
she's a zombie. Like were you saying like a zombie
or trying to be a raptor? I just think of
that whole thing. You can make that a sticker on
your phone, right like that's I think of rey Gun.
Think that they're going zap do do do do? Come on, Maddy,

(03:06):
come dance with me. Come on, it's a good thirteen
going on thirty reference. I say that, but I think
about that, Rega, I think about it, uh run though
quote telling two Day FM. I love the names of
day radio. Names of radio stations in Australia are awesome.
They sound like, I don't know, like television stations from

(03:27):
the fifties in Europe. What's our affiliate out there? Two
day FM? Maybe we're on three Day FM, could be
one day FM. Maybe no Day FM. They were on AM.
I don't know, No Day. I don't know no Day.
Maybe we're Uh, I'm not going to compete anymore. No.
I was going to keep competing for sure, but that
seems really difficult for me to do now, to approach
a battle. I mean, I still dance and I still break,

(03:48):
but you know that's like in my living room with
my partner. It's been really upsetting. I just didn't have
any control over how people saw me or who I was.
Everybody loves to come back. Here's an opportunity to go
into the lab, but you come back with a great
probably because of her. There's no breaking in the twenty
twenty eight Olympics. How is there no breaking in La?
In La? I got her breaking in La. We should

(04:11):
have our own tournament that we we do Fox Sports
Radio as part of the Olympics. Yeah, okay, so we
take over a part. Okay, we invite folks to come
out and we we get a couple of boom boxes
set up. It would look like on Venice Pace to
go buy and the guys do all the dancing and
that's all it is money. No, okay, that's it. I'm

(04:33):
telling Reagan and the silver guy will come over and
they'll dance or will just be a statue for us.
We'll have a couple of you know guys with their
tied eye whatever they come and and you know tattoo artists,
a guy selling you some blue seas. I mean, we
got it all come down to Venice Beach. You just
say Reagan, I think, and Reagan will be ready by
that Point's a zombie? Would that be her bid on

(04:57):
dancing with the stars? Oh? Had they approach her? Uh no,
you know Raygan has to be a mask singer and
be dancing with this. Absolutely she got to saying stars
doesn't matter. That's fair point. Mickey Rourke was on the
mask Singer alone. He said, I want to unmask myself.
They said, what it's too hot in this costume. I
want to unmask. He was once a national treasure. Remember

(05:18):
all the run he got after the wrestler and all
of a sudden he became come back. Yeah yeah, yeah, no,
I mean I look at he was rush. He's one
of the biggest actors in the nineties. You know all
those movies that were like, you know about sex. Yeah,
like nine and a half weeks. Take off your dress.
I thought, that's so that line comes from that line
that Tyser plays all the time. I know, damn well
where it comes from. Take off your pants, take off

(05:40):
your dress? Like that's that that's that's Mickey Rourke. You
just perked ty Shirt up. Wow. I thought you were
losing him there for a minute. I said, dress, take
off your dress. I was going to name the movie
eight and a half weeks, but nine and a half
weeks sounds about it. I don't know why. It just
does very minor. I'm gonna be there's no reason for
you to jump in with your Todd Bowles impression when
I'm doing my Mickey Rourke. There's no reason for that.

(06:02):
There's no two people who have never had a conversation.
I guarantee Todd Bowles out of that rock. Now they can.
And now, through the power and magic of audio here
at Fox Sports Radio, right, we paired these two legends up.
This is what Raygun does. It makes this conversation look stupid.
So I'm we gotta stop, and we got we can't

(06:24):
look tygir's faces. It's close to me now, meanwhise that thriller? Well, yeah,
that's what that's my whole thing. Like Gun Raygun looks
like the jiff of her, like she's in the thriller video,
she's one of the zombies or whatever dance you were
tweaking You say tweaking, Oh no, no, no, not the

(06:45):
way you take that. No, it's a new kid phrase.
No it's not. No, no, tweaking is not no. No,
look up, tweaking not a kid phrase. They don't use
it like you think. Not a real dictionary in it. No, No,
I yeah, I will. Like when somebody starts getting crazier,
like they get weird or they're doing something you don't know.
You're like, why are you tweaking right now? Yeah? You
know where that comes from? Because I do know. Okay,
people's drug use, like bad drug. Way to go there.

(07:08):
Well that's another tell you what it means if you
don't know what it means. Apparently you don't know what
it means. I just said what it means like six
times in a row. But no, it doesn't mean. It's
not like there's a kid version of it. No, It's
not like when when you hear like the kids Bob
versions of of of songs like oh, blurred lines but
for kids, you know? Or oh why is that for kids?

(07:29):
Why was that? Ever? But I remember Bruno Mars the
big one with Mark Well, which other which are the
songs that he stole? Which which one? Are you going
to come on? No? No, no, the big one from
a few years Did he pay out dude dude grenade
for you? No? No, not that one uptown funk. I'm
gonna keep the door up. And you know the line

(07:52):
of the song goes, gonna get my cup put some
lique in it. And then when they do the kids versions,
gonna get my cup put some water in it like
stupid anyway, tweaking. So here here's here's the two tripping
or doing something dumb? Yeah, the next one and then
it was the example. Is you really looked it up? Yeah? No? Well,

(08:13):
I mean I had to get in and half No,
no I did. I did for Smith. See I was right, though, right,
Mike here a hundred percent right? Did not have to
did not know? We con a manner of which a
person's actions and behavior suited them for being very out
of pocket or unorthodox. What he just did out of pocket.
Out of pocket means I'm not unavailable. No, yeah, no,
out of pocket no no, no, no to the kids,

(08:36):
it's got a different definition. No, they can't know. Can't
appropriate it a defen Yes you can. No, you can't. Yes,
you can't just take a phrase it means something and
make it mean something. No, you can't. You listen, You're
a beta if there ever was one. Wow, Just so
you know, you take that back. You are full beta.
You're tripping full beta. All of you all are beata.

(08:57):
You're all betas. You are all beta. All right, this
is what Reygun has done every day. Apparently we're gonna
get a Wan Soto update when it comes to free agency.
Scott Boris is gonna do his best to keep Juan
Soto's name out. Had the meeting with Brian Cashman yesterday
in which the Yankees and Boris talked about Juan Soto

(09:20):
potentially Pete Alonzo because he's got Pete Lonzo as well.
And today we find out on the heels of report
the one baseball insider yesterday who said, oh, I really
can't see Jan Soto going anywhere than the Mets because
they're going to offer him the most money. And today
Scott Boris talked to the media and said, hey, Jan
loves New York. Didn't say loves the Yankees, did say
good things about the Yankees. Might be the most personality

(09:42):
Boris ever had. What do you love? He loves New
York And then of course went on to say, here's
the billions of dollars that is, he's going to be
worth to a franchise if you pay him a billion dollars,
which is just just stop, man, don't come in with
your whole Hey, here's what it does for parking. It
people don't come to the park just to see Jan Soda. Right,
He's not Otani, he's not many Ramirors. No one's gonna come. Oh,

(10:03):
I gotta go say yes, he's a great player. You
can win championships. He's exciting, he's fun. But it's not
like if one Soda is playing, you're gonna make way
more money in parking revenue and more money and in
any kind of uh food revenue. But every accid seat
is a percentage described and attributed to his arrival and
his performance. He does performance, He does that, and it's insane, like, oh,

(10:26):
he really pays for himself. No, he doesn't. He's gonna
get a big contract. And I've told you there is
no way the Yankees let Juan Soto go to the Mets.
Of all the teams, it's not gonna happen. However, after
hearing Boris talk, seeing from a couple of things going on,
and especially seeing how it was very public yesterday that
the Yankees met with Boris talking about Juan Soto and

(10:47):
pin Alonzo, I can really start to see a scenario
in which Steve Cohen comes up with so much money
for Juan Sota, who wants to stay in New York,
and the Yankees say, oh, now we're gonna go overpay
a little bit for Pete Alonzo. I can. I can
absolutely so what you're saying. Boris sets it up to

(11:07):
where it gets everybody hot and bothered. Bidding war commences,
mystery teams being met. Really, he's gonna pick, He's gonna
they're getting a new stadium. So now they're chesty, and
they got six million dollars laying around for this game
for one. But but he's gonna get them to bit
against each other to where it's, hey, you don't get Soto.
But can I interest you in a pee Alonzo, it

(11:29):
would know it's actually here, says, Oh, the Rays thought
they meant Mario Soto, and that's who they That's what Okay,
that's what is. So anytime we can get another legend
of the big Red Machine in it, we've won. You
can already tell that Boris is pitting the Mets and
the Yankees against each other. They're gonna be the biggest
suitors with the most money, most likely for Juan Soto,
and he's going to present it as hey, if this

(11:50):
happens here, let's do this here. And that's the only
way the Yankees could look. I could see the Yankees
losing Sodo is that, hey, we went and got it
for like they are. He didn't pick up the option
for Anthony Rizzo, so you know he's done. And now
that you know, I know peede a Lonzo knows how
to cover first base, you gotta have a fall. But
I can see that I can see that as a

(12:11):
possibility where it's Wan Soda. It's almost like it like
a tandem thing where Sodo goes to the Mets has
his day press conference. A day later, Alonzo goes to
the got you an audition though, all right, what would
you do to get Garrett Cole to cover first base? Goad?
I would try to get it, get get his ass

(12:32):
off the mount Show me how you gonna do it,
because you're gonna have to work with this guy. You're
gonna have to work with this guy, So you're gonna
have to show me that you can motivate him to
get off the mounta and move up the line. Wait,
I'm not I'm not just gonna dh I gotta play
first base. Oh all right, well you saw that we
let Rizzo go, So I'm telling you I can see
that scenario coming of all of all the the one. Okay,

(12:52):
is there any way possible? I can see Sodo to
the Mets all that money and they don't do it
without that counter move right away? For Alonzo, do any
of the guys that were Boris clients last year get
to talk to the new guys. Dude, he screwed me.
You're gonna be long. Journey said, he's gonna keep one
Soto out there along. Ye, And what's gonna happen as

(13:14):
teams are gonna bet they're not gonna be in it?
That when he's gonna lose focus on a little bit.
Is that it's gonna get down to just a couple
of team for one soda really early, because other teams
really only have a couple of teams that really are
true contenders anywhere. But he's gonna want like four or
five teams in and there's really only gonna be one
or two because he's gonna say, well, we're gonna do this,
We're gonna do this, and other teams are gonna say, okay,

(13:34):
you know, we're moving on like we're in the past.
They said, boy, if we could stay in it and
maybe get Wan Soto, let's wait, let's push what we
want to do and we'll let other guys go, because boy,
we could land the big fish. And clearly it's not
gonna happen. What's his par number? So it's not parking
above replacement. It'll be down to two teams very early.
He'll try to keep it going as long as they

(13:54):
what's I can see it bore box office above replacement?
They man just who played for the nice Yeah, that's good.
Exit out about a Fresco exit, swallowing down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon live from

here on the show tonight, my wife goes out to trivia. Oh,
I thought you meant hump Day, and I always it
is hump day, Mike, Mike, Mike, what day is it? Mike?
Hump Day? I was so glad when those went away. Yeah,
let's go. And I always get whenever there's a good

(15:04):
sports question, I said, text will do it on there.
And this was the last question of the last round.
Before the final question. I think they came in like
fourth thrices was not a great night. Look, the final
question was crazy, was like, well the Lakers lack of effort.
I think really some of the Lakers. But this was
a big sport. The big sports question they had was

(15:24):
worth a lot of points and they got partial credit
for a couple of answers. All right, so I'm gonna
ask you as this. Here's your question. What three American
based hockey teams have won the most Stanley Cups? Mighty Ducks, right,
the Mighty Ducks. What three American hockey teams right? So

(15:48):
teams are playing in the NHL from the United States
have won the most Stanley Cups? The Red Wings. Red
Wings number one, number one, they have eleven. I got
the second one and then the third one was a
toss up for me between two teams, and I chose
the wrong one. Okay, well, I know one of them

(16:10):
for sure is a team of one of ours. This
is true, This is true, and it's not the Kings, Mike, No,
So Mighty Ducks. Yes, the Mighty Ducks. They've won fourteen
Stanley Cups. Paul Korea has ten of them. What about
salam No, wait, how do you say his name Timu salame.

(16:32):
It's it's Silani, not salami. Is it Teamu? It's it's
it's tamu, tamu tamu. But but the fact you call
them salami, salami is salami. There's no M. There's no M.
If you bought a Tamu Salami jersey, I hope you
got a discount. You got you got rooked. He was
having fun with it. Depends how much you paid. That's
a good point. Depends so much. All right. So the

(16:53):
black Hawks the first two teams I got. I got
Red Wings, Blackhawks the last one. And the Blackhawks have
six the last I said. It's between It was between
two teams, and I picked the wrong one. It's gotta
be a team that I can't stand. Uh, there's a
lot of those in a city that I hate. Oh, Bruins.

(17:14):
Bruins was of the two teams. They were one of
the teams I picked. I picked the Bruins, and my
other team I picked was the Islanders. One of those
teams is right, Bruins on the Islanders York. Okay, so
you're saying Bruins, I think so, okay, Yeah, I'll stay
with the Bruins. Ruins with six Stanley Cups the Boston Bruins.

(17:35):
I was like, oh, the Bruins have six. The Islanders
had four. They had all four of them in the
in THEES. I was like, all right, did the dynastic run,
but did they really have six? I don't know, they
have six, so I said Islanders. He was no, it
was Bruins. Like, ah, the choice, it's not the Mighty Ducks.
I remember watching like one the six movies at this

(17:56):
point they did win day. I've probably done a couple
of directive video. I think, oh, I think I'm gonna
do a thing going there and like Mighty Ducks like eleven. Now, yeah,
I think for going forward for the rest of the season,
I'm gonna watch and review Hallmark or one of the
Christmas movies every day. Okay, you could just make them
up and knowing what even Yeah, but do that on

(18:17):
the it's a one affair, maybe it's a h who else?
We got Layton Measter and all those? Gotta be a
Lori Laughlin Christmas movie? Why not? Okay? Does it take
place at the college where there's a class and you know,
try to get in and sorry too soon? No, I
didn't have any problems. Man, Look there a rowing team involved.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Is that no?

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Okay? Well, I mean that's just it. As long as
someone didn't get rooked out of a scholarship because of them,
then it's okay. But in terms of actually getting into
the class, just add an extra chair. It's a private university.
So there's your answers. Red Wings with eleven Bruins and
Blackhawks six apiece. There is, I feel smart sports question.
So here's the most all the time? Is it Canadians? Yeah,

(18:59):
Canadians are the most and he got the Leafs. Uh,
the Leafs haven't won him like a billion years. It
doesn't matter. They did when they were only six teams.
Somebody had to win a lot. They won original six
kind of like the Sinister six and Spider Man. And
then you have Edmonton is just below the Islanders. So
actually the American teams are all in the top, the

(19:20):
the top. Pittsburgh's got four four okay, yeah, so the
Pittsburgh's got four Islanders because I know they trounced the Blackhawks. Kings,
the King's got to and the Ducks have one. It
would be nice to have both of our teams battling again.
The Knights the Ducks won the Stanley Cup. I interviewed
Corey Perry. You know, sorry, I gotta explained Corey Perry
was a star player for the Ducks. Hey, where's Perry?

(19:40):
And I got the interview and after he was very excited,
very happy to be on being the radio. He was
interviewed after they won the Stanley Cup. Wow, wi J ask,
how's it feel to win the Stanley Cup? All right,
thanks appreciate it. No, No, I had a while ago.
That's an innovative styles of final ago. We did that.
Uh so to the NF fell we go where this

(20:02):
is gonna be a little bit of weird conversation, but
we have to say it because it's actually in the headline.
It's gonna make you think of Thanksgiving. I mean, you
think of making pork at least, I know, harmon, I'm
gonna smoke some shoulder. Uh but we I mean I
picked out a nice prime rim for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Dak Dak Prescott is likely out longer than the four

(20:23):
ish weeks that we thought he was gonna be out
after his hamstring injury. This is because he is dealing
with what is called a partial evulsion of his right
hamstringlan avulsion a v u l s I own evulsion
that aversion evulsion. Maybe it's a volsion, but I think
it's a vulsion. No, I think avol in like spectrum

(20:44):
man or something like that. The kind of more sounds
like a perfume that Charlie Stern does a commercial for
fol avolsion and she's walking with a dress and she's,
you know, sashet in her way, taking everything's light to
hear the whisper A falcion, A falcion and a giant
accent like someone paints it on. A partial evulsion of

(21:09):
his right hamstring, which means part of the tendon has
pulled away from the bone. Smoke just long enough, bright
and you're just picturing bo when I pulled that wing
off my So he's gonna be out longer than four weeks.
It's not been decided if he's gonna be placed on
injured reserve. But look, that's likely going to happen. And
we told you this two nights ago, and it's even

(21:31):
more true now. Dak Prescott's not going to play the
rest of them. No, he's not gonna do it. A
combination of injury. Do you want to bring him back
when it's gonna be a lost season where the Cowboy's
gonna be four and eleven of four and ten, Do
you really bring him back for two three weeks? Even
if the Cowboys fire Mike McCarthy and bring Bill Belichick back,
and I gotta win a couple more games this year

(21:51):
to get closer to don Jula, he's not going to
play well, You're on the hook for a ton of money.
What's the point of if he's not one hundred percent? Yeah, no,
they look injury wise, you're not playing for anything. Why
bother and and and look, and let's face it, if
you are playing for something in six weeks, it means
Cooper Rush has played pretty well, that's right. So you're
not gonna see him injury wise. But even if this

(22:11):
isn't as serious, right, even if this is a case
of hey, it's it's it's a rest for three or
four weeks, potentially can come back, There's no way Dak
Prescott wants any more part of this season with the
Dallas Cowboys. Right, you saw the lip reading on Sunday,
we blank and suck right now saw the guys on
FS one before the the eVols was diagnosed, saying that

(22:35):
he'd quit on him, which which was a bridge too far.
I'm like, I get it, you're x NFL guys come
out now. The thing is, I've seen Dak play games
like that before in the playoffs, where I say, is
he going through the mote? No, this is kind of
just what dakta. Dak comes up flat a lot. And
that's the biggest thing with Dak Prescott is that he
comes up flat way more than you would expect him to.

(22:56):
Like when I like when I watched the Jets, this
is a tap. I see five games a year they
come out flat. Usually good teams, they're flat once or
twice over the course of a season. Now the Jets
are like flat every other week, and Dak Prescott comes
out flat in games you don't expect him to come
out flat. And sometimes he comes out Hey, I'm rareing
to go, but that should be his normal level of play.

(23:17):
But there's time what does he do? He looks like
he's going through the motion. He comes out flat. But
from a standpoint of do I want any more of
a part of this season? No, I don't think he
wanted any part of the season to begin with. But
I gotta play. Jerry gave me all that money. We're
not gonna be any good and all right, and three
and five he's saying to himself, oh, man, good, I'm good.

(23:38):
You'll see me next year, right, because now it's clear
he is a Dallas cowboy for life. They're paying them
all that money and Dan Jerry Jones has decided Dak's
gonna stay our quarterback and maybe after this year something
will be different. We'll be able to spend more money,
bring other players. I don't know how, because he gave
Dak money. He gave Ceede Lamb money, didn't have money
for anything else, but he had money for these guys.
Didn't have money to get Dereck Henry, didn't have money

(24:00):
for anybody else. No, no, no, we'll do this. So if
I'm Dak Prescott, there's no way I want to come back.
And that's the bigger thing. Like when we talked about
this a couple of days ago, before we knew the
severity of the injuries, he's not coming back. If they're
talking about ir for him. And then it's mid December,
I know the season goes at extra Do you think
a Santa Claus comes down the chimney in the NFL

(24:20):
season ends. No, we got extra week and a couple
weeks past that now because of the added schedule and
the bye weeks, so it doesn't really end till the
middle of January. But it doesn't matter. I'm not coming
back with a month left in this season. I'm not
doing it from a mental standpoint of wanting to play.
I'm not doing it from a perspective of being healthy
and staying healthy, because there's no reason to come back.
We have seen the last of Dak Prescott for twenty

(24:41):
twenty four at that point, if it plays out as
it looks at will because remember going back to the
beginning of the season, when there was still you know,
that lowercase H in front of the word hope before
it turned to dopes, the hope for the Cowboys. Remember
how they got worked by the Saint when the Saints
were great and all the motion and all this creative, creative,

(25:03):
really want to go back and see that game again?
Now you know how did that happen? Well? Remember their
stars on defense actually played that game? Yeah? Did the Cowboys.
So I saw some thought pieces saying, well, you know,
Parsons is actually maybe gonna play and Bland is gonna
be back like great, it's Cooper Rush. And these guys
are returning to a defense that was terrible when they

(25:26):
were there before, and now they're both coming off of
significant time misdue to injury. Yes, they're gonna ramp right
back up at one hundred and fifty because they're gonna
be that big and that impactful the hell out of here.
What's dak press gott coming back to final couple of
weeks of miserable football and the worst he could do
is win two or three games. So suddenly instead of

(25:48):
drafting in the top ten, they're drafting, you know, twenty
first because they they're just at the edge of the playoffs. Again,
I don't think they're suddenly going to go on a
winning streak, but just say, in the worst of Sinnate
is you actually win a couple games down the stretch
and suddenly, all right, you're not getting that number two
or number three wide receiver off the board. You're gonna

(26:09):
have to go and let GM Jerry try to work
some magic. Please. This is the guy that for the
second round this year, before the second round commenced, was
all like, oh yeah, we got our eyes on that
Brooks kid. This is gonna be great, and the Panthers
take out of the Brooks like, no, that's all right,
We're gonna go get the Mingo kid from them in
about eight weeks. I'm kind of excited about that. We'll

(26:30):
get that guy from I'll get a fourth round pick too.
It's gonna be hey outstanding. But in the offseason they
also did the work to get Deck and CD signed,
and that's great. Eleventh hour panic Jerry shoved Venom Jerry
back into a box and away you go. You couldn't
massage any of the other contracts to create room to
sign Derrick Henry. We've all watched the Shenanigans with salary

(26:53):
cap and moving moneys around making stuff converted to signing
bonus selt. You didn't even get creative enough to pull
that off. Instead, you brought back Zeke, who you had
to send home because he's being an ass and a
pouty veteran running back Dalvin Cook signed off the scrap
heat Well, he go, doubt. I'll just tell you I

(27:14):
wanted to sign Henry, but what I found out was
that Steven made my computer not be really hooked up.
To the Internet. So I just got a lot of
made up stories, like like when Creed would try to
get on the Internet in the office and Ryan set
him up and it was just a word document. Like
I thought, lots of crazy things are going on. It
turns out, oh, he was available and wasn't even plugged in.

(27:36):
When's Creed gonna play it a biopic? And then he's
sitting around the office play picking the guitar. Creed Bratton
is Jerry Jones would be paying works or if you're
doing a comedic movie, he could play Jerry Jones the
comedic version. I thought about that. You could all of
a sudden have all those those hot tub fantasies that

(27:56):
you've laid out with Lonniere and create a Boxer. No,
it's a different Creed, and it's not don't don't, don't,
don't play it. Don't play it well, there is secret options. No, no,
no office boxer. That's it. They are selling out across
the lamb. They've got a couple of dates in Vegas.
We can go. No, I'll sell you out. No no, no, no,

(28:19):
no no. Can you stop right now before I bury
a pitchfork in your head? Oh, let's escalated quickly, go too,
we're back on farms. But I was trending in the
wide world of sports, and how much money she lost
on tonight's Clipper game, the return of Paul George moncimust

(28:40):
the Clippers won.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
No, what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (28:44):
You bet? Paul George scored forty points tonight.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Absolutely not never, Okay, we don't like him no more?
All right, I told you I didn't know what to
do with my Paul George.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Sure anymore. I'm sure there's a there's some kid it
would like it. Put it on eBay. You can sell
that shirt for four dollars. Might just find a kid
named George that you handed to here you go.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
No, No, your name George, I'm not sure that's bad luck?

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Is your name of hood head? Yes, That's what I'm
gonna be doing. Are you curious, George? I have a
shirt for you to bad. I have this in my hand.
You're curious what it is? Oh?

Speaker 2 (29:21):
This could keep going, This could keep going for for hours. No,
Paul George and Philly fall to one and six because
the Clippers just beat them one ten to ninety eight.
Clippers came alive in the second half because it was
a tie game at halftime. Paul George ended with eighteen
points and seven rebounds in the loss.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Haha.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Norman Powell had twenty six points and six assists, leading
the Clippers to this win. The Kings took down the
Raptors one twenty two to one oh seven, another triple
double for Demonta Sabonis seventeen points, eleven rebounds, and thirteen
assists the Suns. They came back to beat the Heat
one fifteen to one twelve. Miami was down by three
with about five seconds to go. They couldn't even get

(30:01):
a shot off because the Sons were just playing excellent defense.
Kevin Durant and do with thirty two points and eight rebounds.
The Nuggets did hand okay see their first loss of
the season, coming in on top one twenty four to
one twenty two.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Denver at one point.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Was down by sixteen. All of their starters ended in
double digits. The Cavaliers are the only undefeated team left.
They beat the Pelicans one thirty one to one twenty two,
first time in franchise history that they start nine to zero,
and the MAVs took down the Bulls one nineteen to
ninety nine Lakers shorthanded. They lost to the Grizzlies one
thirty one to one. Fourteen. Week ten of the NFL

(30:36):
kicks off with Thursday Night Football. Bengals and Ravens. Baltimore
has rolled out tight end Isaiah Likely Bengals wide receiver
T Higgins. He is listed as a doubtful forty nine
Ers running back Christian McCaffrey. He was limited at practice today,
but he did say that there was no pain or
anything going on with his foot as he comes back
from that Achilles injury.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
He goes, well, no, he said there was no there
was no pain. Yeah. I really thought you were gonna
jump say it, he said, he said there was no
no pain.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Pay Yeah, yeah, guys, it's a skill to stop that quickly.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
That's good. That's good.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
It's a skill to.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Stop that fast. He goes. Wide receiver A J.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Brown was limited at practice, while DeVante Smith didn't practice
because of a hamstring strain.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Jalen Hurds Saquon Barkley. They got a nice day of rest.
Back to you guys like Paul George normally take I
remember I remember one time in college doing the morning show.
We were doing Jason Monday. Jason Mason, we were doing
the morning show and we were talking about an Evander
Holyfield fight, right, this is like the fight before he

(31:40):
was fighting Tyson for the first time, and and we
talked and we were talking holy Field and they kicked
it to me, you know, I said, and I said,
oh my god, kind of I forgot where I was
and I went, this is exactly what he did. I said,
Oh my god, Holyfield, he beat the shoes. Whoa he really?

(32:02):
He really? I was so for that, I said, he
beat the shoes. My eye has never really been like,
oh my god. I almost skirted on the air. So
I got you, I got you there, I get you there.
Excited utterance. All right, So now now you know what
Monty really bet on? Okay that now you know? Yeah,

(32:24):
I mean the Clippers McCaffrey. All right, don't get me
start bamboozled. Gosh. Coming up next, we got two hot
stories out of the NBA tonight. What coach is already
talking about his team's efforts so far. This scene performance
that's not Cleveland c He's undefeated. He was mad at

(32:49):
the referees though. That's coming up next. Right here, Jason
and Mike Fox Sports Radio, like the only undefeated team.
Know they are not? Like they are the only really? Yeah,
yeah you should. Where's Cleveland play? Ohio? That's good. You
can get a George shirt from Monsei. I like the
question he had, Ohio, I'm going to break. Be sure

(33:14):
to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific,
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon Live for the tirerack dot Com Studios.
A couple of big marquee games in the NBA tonight,
of course, everybody watching. Wow, Golden State seven and one

(33:37):
five and oh five and oh five and oh on
the road send the Celtics to their second defeat of
the season. They win on the road, all of the sudden.
Steve Currents Coach of the Year. He got booed lustily. Yeah, well,
I mean, come on, when Jason Tatum wins the NBA
title and doesn't really play in the Olympics sports, that's
gonna happen. But he's now motivated. I mean, you should

(33:58):
be thanking Steve Kerrent end him some roses. Do you
think Steve Kerr thought he could actually give Jason Tatum
a DNP, and tonight's game he tried. He did get
Jalen Brown to the bench once again, so he didn't
succeed in that regard. Look, it's a it's a big
win for the Warriors, looking at again, big marquee Game
of the night tonight is on National TV. They went

(34:18):
at one eighteen to one twelve, and so far everything
is great for the Warriors, right hang on, slow down,
relax r E l a X. It's a great start
for Golden State. Didn't see this start coming, but they
kind of had no choice. They've been cycling down out

(34:42):
of the dynasty. They had a lot of young players
that need to see time. And what are they doing
right now that is really working. They are playing eleven
guys like this is not like an eight to nine
man rotation where the last couple of players see six
or seven minutes to night. They're playing eleven guys getting
a battle tested man getting them minutes now. And every

(35:04):
single player who played tonight got at least thirteen minutes.
All right, everybody got at least These guys are all
playing big, heavy minutes for this team, and they need
to because they need to find out what they have
in all the young players, and they need to take
some of the pressure off of Steph Curry and Draymond
Green because these guys are older now. And it's a
great it's a great, I would say, great problem to have,

(35:27):
because I feel like the Warriors got pushed into this
because they had They had nothing else to do there
nor else to go. They tried to play the style
they played last year. It didn't work. Now we have
no choice. No one else is coming to the rescue.
We're not signing big free agents. Let's go and let's
make a commitment to playing these younger players, and so
far they have no is It's going to continue. Probably not,
but so far it's a great start for Golden State. However,

(35:50):
this is why I say however, that's why I say
top the brakes. No NBA team gets to a point
where they go through the playoffs and your best players
are thirty five years old. You don't because you hit
the wall eventually because it's too much basketball. Unless you
are sitting for a vast barren wasteland of the middle

(36:11):
to the end of the season and come back feeling
fresh and navigate the playoffs. You're not doing it. When
Steph and Draymond thirty five years old, thirty six, they
get to the playoffs, they're done from a long season.
Same thing with the Lakers and Lebron and ad and
anybody that has older players they count on. Sorry, it's
great in the beginning of the season because you win games,

(36:32):
guys are fresh, look at how well they play. And
then you get to the playoffs and we're talking you
talking about pressing the fast forward button. But you're going November, December, January, February,
March into April, six months into the season, then a
long playoff. Every single round you're getting through four rounds
of playoff. It doesn't happen. The West is really talented,

(36:54):
and barring a big addition or two at the trade deadline,
you're not gonna be able to ride thirty five year
old guys who You're still going to try to ride
Stephen Draymond as far as you can. It just doesn't
no matter how talented you are, you get to the playoffs.
It's younger teams that play better defensively that are able
to swarm you. It's why the young teams win loo
It's why Jason Tatum wins. It's why Jokich won the

(37:16):
year before that. It's why when the Wars were all
in their late twenties and late twenties, it was happening
for them that that's how you win in the NBA.
It doesn't matter how good you are, you can't navigate
the playoffs. It's just too difficult. But if you could
pull off one of those runs like the Lakers did
a couple of years ago, life is good. But you
only get so far. You got to the to the
Western Conference, and then it was it was the most

(37:38):
competitive sweep week. It was a very competitive sweep. Yes
it was. Yes, I'm still reeling from what I saw.
So competitive, the battle that sweep was so competitive. Still
cleaning up the sweat off the floor doesn't the feeling
it was for nothing. It feels like the Lakers won
that scam. But the idea being that with the deep rotation,
maybe you can steal some minutes, maybe you win. You

(37:58):
got to push to win some games now, like they're
not gonna have a long run of coast, but maybe
you can do a little bit of load management. As
long as you're not dumb enough to put it on
a billboard like the sis, he will not play back
to back. You don't ask again. You have a strained
big toe that's gonna keep you out for a month.
That's it. As we strain my ass, prove it. No.

(38:23):
So if a team could commit to that, and that's
the toughest thing is that, if you could commit to
not playing a star and giving him a month off
before the playoffs, that would really help. But from the
perspective of you got to keep winning games to stay
in the playoffs, can you really be without a star?
And the NBA is gonna come looking going, why isn't
this guy playing? It's gonna be too hard to play.

(38:44):
The last part of that you can do because most
of these guys have some Hollywood in them at this point,
have some production companies or something you could you can
get an actor to stand in for you. Is that Lebron? No,
it's fake. That's fake, Lebron, Do worry about it. Where's
the hairline? That's fake, Lebron? Look the airline, the hairline. Move,
Look at the hairline when Lebron was playing. Here's a

(39:06):
new guy, completely different dude, different dude right there. No,
if teams could do it, it'd be the best thing
for them if anybody could pull it off and be
Steve Kerr. If you could sit star players, not have
to worry about your standing in the playoff, and be
able to stay away from the NBA. Stay why aren't
you stars playing? We have national TV games coming up?
Then that'd be an unbelievable strategy. The schedule as best

(39:30):
you can, and then you know, make sure you don't
get flexed into a bunch of opportunities, and maybe you
can go trade for Kevin Durant the moment. I will
tell you that's my big thing, that the deadline, Kevin Durant.
Kevin duranco's the Lakers. Kevin Durant, COO's the Lakers. Watch
out Lakers. Speaking of the way the effort, j jj

(39:52):
Reddick already seems to be questioning his team's effort in
Week two. We got that story and more coming up
next right here, Jason, Like this is Fox Sports Radio,
