it's you know, there's there's sometimes when I say, Mike,
you know, you say this about previews for movies, like
I just want the movie to come out already. Yeah,
I don't want to see another commerce Like when we
it's like a few years ago where it was oh
(01:11):
my god, during every NBA playoff game. Do we need
to see a preview for snow Piercer. I'm done with
snow Piercer. Right, it's still going?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Right? Was that day in one more season coming?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Or is that? Is the train still going or is
the show still lot of train's supposed to keep going
in perpetuity? No?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Right, but is the show still going? Or have they
finally killed it?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I I think snow pier I think snow Piercer has
pierced its last night.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh okay, good, I don't okay finally, but yeah, like
Red One and Wicked, I need them both in the theater.
I'm done with it.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm with you. And I kind of
feel that way about the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight,
like like like it's you know, I'm gonna hit you
over the head with this fight now, I really don't
really care about it. No, but you really do?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
No, I do you do?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Though? You absolutely do. You can't stop talking about it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
We're gonna go. Well, it's tomorrow night. It's tomorrow night
is the fight?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
And tomorrow night's the fight? And crazy as stuff up
and today, which is why we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Exciting us to do it every segment.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You can't get enough of it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You want to step on somebody's toe and take a swing.
You want to wear your little trunks out and please
to shouting things and people.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Look at me. I'm wearing my swim trucks, everybody. Uh.
So we're getting the fight tomorrow night. Finally it's here
and and maybe you know, maybe it's still on now,
but it's been postponed once before. Uh And today brought
you a double barrel of drama involving this fight. The
first was the slap at the way in today. Mike
(02:35):
Tyson didn't like the fact that, you know, whether it
was you know, scripted or unscripted, did not like the
fact that Jake Paul got really close to him and
Tyson slapped him in the face. Jake Paul didn't respond,
and you know, Tyson's handlers came and pulled them away
and they all started talking smack to each other. It
was a big deal. Here's the audio of the slap.
(03:04):
What what, oh man, I'll tell you, I don't know.
Would it would it be if if Jake Paul thought
Dave Chappelle would that be as good as Murphy? Look,
uh this this today. I saw this and I'm like, okay,
(03:24):
you know it made me just go what you know,
the excitement level I have for this fight. I'm like, okay,
we'll play the Tyson interview in a second, which really
just really makes me more interesting about what could happen
in the fight. But like, I feel like we know
what we're gonna get, right, Like this is something where
here's Tyson and he slaps Jake Paul and Jake Paul
(03:44):
doesn't respond. Really, really, a guy slaps you in the
face and you just stand there and there's no response
at all. There's no backing away. It's like he put
his face in so Tyson could slade.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
And he said seeing him at eight o'clock that tlegs.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Me there, you know, I mean, I I like, I
know what's gonna happen, Like this was this was orchestrated
for the cameras. The slap was orchestrated, And we're gonna
tune and people are gonna tune in tomorrow and all
they're gonna do is hold each other up for wherever
long the fight is, and they're gonna end and Jake
Paul's gonna win a decision and Tyson's gonna lose. He's
not gonna care. And Jake Paul needs to win because
(04:18):
he wants to keep his boxing career going. Because this
is what the guy wants to be famous, and this
is the avenue he has found to get famous. So
this is what I and if I lose, no one's
gonna want to see or care. If I fight somebody else,
I'm not have to fight a shark or something crazy
like that. I'm gonna fight a shark in a ring underwater.
That's what's gonna have to happen.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And that worked out well for Michael Phelps, right, He's.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
So really, I think I know what we're gonna get.
I think they're gonna hold each other up for a
bunch of rounds. We're gonna get a decision, and people
are gonna go, why did I get this?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The only thing they already subscribe. That's the beauty of it, though,
Jason is that for most folks it's not an extra
dollar out of pocket except for their time.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah. But but but the only thing that gives me
a little bit of a is that maybe by Tyson
just says Blanket right, blank, blank this blank you blank
you blank all of this and he just comes out
tomorrow and just starts cleaning house right like like it's
a big w when Cogan you should just he's cleaning us,
but not like fifteen people in the ring, he would
(05:16):
just start hit yeah, like that's the only thing that
might tell me, okay, we could get something tomorrow is
that Tyson might just say, you know what, blank all
of this, I'm coming out and I'm gonna kick your
ass just because I feel like it right now, like
whatever we thought was gonna happen, we're gonna dance around.
Oh you know, maybe you a little bit, you would
me a little bit, you know, it's all uh and
instead it's gonna be it's gonna be. Oh well, Mike, Tyson, Wait,
(05:39):
this is not what we thought talked about at all.
This is not part of our plane, not any of this.
And Tyson really just wants to crush Jake Paul.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And like, how you tie it all together with Rocky three?
There I did, so you got a cog and sly
in together. That No, that's good.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I want to see that, you know, hope that maybe
that's it. But really, look, Tyson wants to keep doing
stuff like this. He can't lose big, uh, And Jake
Paul wants to keep going he can't lose big. So
what are weally gonna get? I think we're gonna get
Mayweather Pakiow. We're all look at this fight, Look at
all this money, the pay per view, at all they
do is, Hey, we don't need to hit each other.
Let's just dance around for a bit. Let's dance around
(06:12):
many Pakia walked out of that ring, running to the crowd,
waving and blowing kisses, like I just really didn't exert
myself at all. We just danced around for a bunch
of rounds and it's over, and I made fifty million dollars.
Oh how great was that? Like, I feel like that's
what we're gonna get tomorrow from both of these and maybe.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
We do the over unders sitting at five and a
half round some eight round battle w two minute rounds,
so the opportunity there. I think we've seen a little
bit of Tyson the aggressiveness today and we'll get to
some of the audio goal that he gave us in
a second. But just you know, training hard looking the part,
trying to channel some of that, that old old magic.
(06:51):
And you know, for those that don't want to watch,
you know, the big plenty, I mean, it'll be an
Emirates Cup night in the NBA. You can get excited
about the Smurf turb feel whatever the hell gets you
excitable there, or you can you can just not watch,
go watch, you know, the college football game on Fox.
Certainly we advise you to go do that with your
viewing experience while you listen to us here at Fox
(07:12):
Sports Radio. But yeah, if it doesn't interest you, I
get that. If you're tired of the spectacle of the
Paul brothers and Mike Tyson, I can understand that. I
respect that. But for the purposes of what we do
here and trying to be entertained and find find a
little bit of juice in the entertainment slash sports combo, Yeah,
(07:32):
sign me up, give me the over. Even if they
hug each other, eventually one of the guys is gonna
hit each other. Eventually, one of those guys gonna get
even if it's a glancing blow, that it's enough. And
and look if Paul hits Tyson with with a bit
where he feels disrespected early, you don't think that that
old school Tyson instinct kicks in doesn't mean he can
(07:53):
still do the damage. But you know, like we said
in Beautiful Girls all those years ago, hey be careful.
Legend can still blank you up.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Now. What the really got me interested in this was
earlier in the day, the slat not so much as this,
because this is just so amazing. Tyson did an interview
with Jazzy right, She's been doing interviews for the last
few years, very popular, a kid reporter. She's thirteen now
and Tyson Courth doing all kinds of interviews for this fight,
(08:23):
did an interview that went viral today, And not because
he he said something or that he was really out
of bounds, but because of the reality that he decided
that Jazzy and everybody that watches Jazzy do interviews, the
reality that he wanted to impart on her and everybody else.
(08:45):
This is what's got all the tongues wagon take a listen.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Well, and your return to the ring for this fight,
you are setting a monumental opportunity for kids my age
to see the legend Mike Tyson in the ring for
the first time. So after such a successful career, what
type of legacy would you like to leave behind when
it's all said and done.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
No, I don't believe in the word legacy. I think
that's another word for ego. Legacy doesn't mean nothing. That's
just some word everybody grabbed on to. Someone said that word,
and everyone grabbed on the words, and I was used
every five seconds. It means absolutely nothing to me. I'm
just passing through. I'm gonna die and it's gonna be over.
Who cares about legacy after that? With a big ego?
(09:24):
So I'm gonna die. I want people to think that
I'm this, I'm great, I'm no ware nothing where you're
dead with dust, absolutely nothing, our legacy is nothing.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Well, thank you so much for sharing that.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
That is something that I have not heard before someone
say that as an answer.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Can you really imagine to my saying I want my
legacy to be this way when you're dead? Why do
you want to say you think I might really want
to think about you?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
How?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (09:48):
I think I want people to think about me when
I'm gone? Who the fuck cares about me when I'm gone?
My kids, maybe a grandkids.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
That's true. Kids, And again, thank you so much for
sharing that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
The legacy is secure and all he had to do
is die. That's a lot less work. Let's give it
a truck.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
And again, thank you so much for sharing that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
What a great answer, I mean, what a great response
from Jazzy. Of course we celebrate her professionalism in that moment.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Thank you so much for your answer. I don't know
what to say. Yeah, okay, I mean, what what? What?
What possessed you say? Okay, I'm doing an interview with
a kid, and I'm gonna reminder, hey, everybody, we're all
gonna die. Nothing we do matters. We're all just gonna die.
Everybody's gonna die. Legacy is nothing. We don't need to
And then he curses, and he is talking.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
To a thirteen year old, and he curses, like, what
the what made you think that telling a thirteen year
old about Hey, you know, we're all gonna die, so
just so you know, Yeah, but how about the fight
tomorrow night?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
What does it matter? What does it matter? We're all
gonna die.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
See where that's really would have gotten even better is
if they tied it to you know, we just had
beetle juice, beetlejuice in theaters. If they tied it to
Beetlejuice off Broadway. You're all gonna die, You're all gonna die,
the whole being dead thing, uh, and had a chorus
with it and tied it all together, because that's really
the emphasis that Mike Tyson gave it here. I love
(11:07):
the gravity though, right, instead of fluffy answers. Hey, you
know what, We're gonna go out there and have an
ice exhibition. It's gonna be great. Come and watch it. Ah,
let screw that, let's talk legacy or not.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I want you to know we're all gonna die. Well
I know that a little bit. Yeah, but do you
really know? Do you really know that you're gonna die?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
And again, thank you so much for saying that.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah no, but I mean I know you know in
the abstract, but boy no, I mean real, it's gonna
happen like it. I want you to be ready for this.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You're gonna be fine.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
My god, I'm thirteen years old. Now, it doesn't matter.
We're all going to die. Die.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
We're all gonna die, every one of us, You and
you and you and you and everybody watching, everybody, And
it said, what doesn't matter? What does it matter? And
then like. I like how he got a little self reflective,
like he almost forgot he was doing an interview, like,
who's gonna care? I mean my kids and my grandkids?
Maybe I don't know me my kids and my grandkids.
Oh I'm being interviewed. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter. Blank
(12:01):
that blank. Yeah. I was waiting for the.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
One liner into the camera where he just points out,
I really care what you think about me? Right, you
already have your opinion. I don't really bleep he and
care at this.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I don't care. I don't care. We're all gonna die.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So great, I've good jobbed by her though.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, no, no, no, And that was some kind of
reaction to just say, well, thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you about that very much. I appreciate the.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Perspective I've never heard before. I supposed to say, eat
my well, I mean that would be good, bite my ear.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Thank you very much for sharing. I appreciate that you.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Just broke my dad's heart.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Maybe that maybe that will work for me. Hey, Jase,
your Mets lost, How do you feel your Mets loss
to the Dodgers? What does it matter? We're all gonna die.
Everybody's gonna die to your door.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
He's gonna Yeah. I just figured you were gonna come
in and say that's gonna answer. I would expect you
to have harmon.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
We're all gonna die. We're gonna die.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Oh Tawny, everybody, and again, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Everybody. Everybody goes to the games. Everybody's going. Everybody's got
the hot take.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
He got there, Jackson.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I'm just saying, everybody, see you here. That that that's
what happened.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
That's the story that we put up in socials. Jason
wishes a pox on the house. Anything you want to
say on your last.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Show, this is you're gonna die to Frostburg. Everybod's gonna die.
That's what happens.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
What the word Tyson? Is he wrong?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
No, he's not wrong, he's not. I just you know,
I I don't know that. You know, talking to a
thirteen year old kid about how.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Thirteen year old kids aren't stupid these days? That's true.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yeah, but you know a lot. Yeah, but when you
ask about when when you're asked about something, you just say,
what is it? Mad? Wow, that's a real that's a
real dark head.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Well what do you what do you want to say?
I just don't you know the word legacy means nothing
to me? No, okay, follow up would say something like that,
that's the larger thing.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It's like, hang on, Harmon wants to defend Mike Tyson
saying that everybody's gonna die to a thirteen year old kid.
Go ahead, good buddy, Yeah, good good.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
She was going to ask a follow up. Go if
he just said, you know, the word legacy really doesn't
hold a lot of weight for me. Okay, you think
she's letting that go? No, okay, she was gonna ask
a follow up, and then he would have Yes, Nanny
would have gone down the road to death. He just
jumped right across that chasm and brought you into the
mind's eye.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
If he says I don't believe in legacy, she's gonna say, Okay,
thank you for sharing. That she's gonna say. It was
her answer, Okay, thank you for sharing.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
No, I think the she would have said that to
anything clearly did it might.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Have thank you for sharing?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Thank you, thank you was her answer, regardless of what
he said. I love his answer. Good for you, Mike Tyson.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Listen, it's like you're making this up as you go along.
Harmon it's like you're making it up as you go along.
Now you like that answer, I.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Never said I didn't. I defended it from the top, Okay,
in our chat before the show.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Hey, that's fine. Hey, whenever, whenever your kids ask you
about stuff and about legacy and doing good things in life,
just tell them it doesn't matter. We're all gonna die.
I want you to do that. I want you to
tell your kids that.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Well, I tell him, you got to do the best
you can today. But just remember, in a hundred years,
who's gonna care.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Okay that you tell them that? Really I do?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh okay, all right, this look, don't hurt each other,
don't hurt anybody. Try not to hurt yourself. But in
the end, in the grand scheme of things, as you make,
you know, little innocuous decisions day to day in your life, yeah,
in one hundred years, nobody's gonna care. So motivation another
sandwich motivational speaker Mike Hartman. Listen, it doesn't matter what
you do. It's not gonna matter a hundred years. No
(15:37):
one's gonna care. Where's my check? I'm done, I'm leaving.
Where's my checking? Where's my checking?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
My sandwich I'm done. Oh I can.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I can wax poetic for an hour at a time,
but right now we're going down to brass tacks because
I'm being told to shut up, not by you, by
Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson threatened to slap me upside my head.

bit too young, but oh wow, okay, we want to

some Harry Potter metaphors, maybe a could do your curious
George impression. We can still get that message across. It'll

You just let me know. I'll show up. Hey, I'm
gonna start my own TikTok channel.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Listen. I know people think that Caleb Williams, you and
DJ Morty to get on the same page, but what
does it matter. We're all gonna die. What is it? Hey?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Energy while you're on the stage, but you go to them,
don't throw to them.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It doesn't matter. We're all gonna die.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
It makes noise, Jason, don't avoid the question.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Mike asked you a question. I did ask a question.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Huh good God.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Asked the question how and year olds are you talking
to tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I'm not I just made it up.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
What playground are you in?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Said a thing? No, I was going to a local
school that I was asked to come speak to couple
young children.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Not really something you want to be making up. Well,
I got a couple of books that I can read them,
that I've written, help them on their pads.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And now kids, Hey, I know you were excited because
you're gonna do sock puppets, but instead, Mike Harmon is
here to tell you about the memorabilia industry and how
to cash in on the big baseball card phase. Right now,
everybody clapped for Mike car.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Mike Harmon is here to tell you about Dare.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Mike Harton's here to tell you about just how bad
things are for the bears. Go ahead and fighting, tell
them all, tell everybody.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
The whole thing sucks.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Oh hey, I.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Once did teach CDC, right, so a little bit of
you know, education, and how did you do it? You're like,
all right, what do you all watch? And then you
tried to impart wisdom based on the characters that they knew,
and in a situation I would do.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Like Johnny from Airplane, Well, first the earth cooled, then
the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But like in terms of you know how we're talking about,
you know, Harmon comes in and speaks the truth. It's
really just an extension of the Phoebe Buffet character. Hey,
it's the lady who tells the truth. The cow in
the meadow goes move yeah no, and the farmer comes
along and bops him on the head, and that's how
we get hambered. I think we do need to explain
Jason to millennials what Dare is.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Oh yes, Phoebe Buffet is to millennials. I mean, I
know they're they're discovering Friends on Netflix now and people
don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
She's a legend. People know her.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
It was a show.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But you can go back from watching a little bit
of Lisa Kudro and Drift Riding to Mike Tyson in
your Netflix subscriptions see how it all works together.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Smelli Cat. So, two big games gonna preview here coming
up this week, and everybody's been talking about these two
contests thanks to Jay Laser stopped buying with us a
little while ago and talked about these two games. Chiefs
Bills and Raven Steelers. These are the games of the week. Really,
Chiefs Bills is the game of the year so far.
You're talking about an undefeated Chiefs team and a Bills
(20:34):
team with two losses, but playing at home. This rivalry,
what it's meant the last few years. Baltimore Pittsburgh. Baltimore
has been rolling. Lamar Jackson has been the best he's
been in the NFL since. Here comes Mike Tomlin. The
Steelers though winning games and with very mind numbing precision
by playing really good defense and getting just enough offense.
So how do we see these games? We'll start with
(20:56):
with Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Normally I would back Pittsburgh and
Mike Tomlin these situations, I would you know what, Listen,
this is Steelers time, right, this is how they do it.
They'll play it close, they'll make the plays in the end,
because they've always made the plays in the end. But
as I said, this is a different Lamar Jackson than
we've seen in the NFL at this point. We talked
(21:17):
about it a couple of weeks ago. He's won a
couple of MVPs. This might be his best season, just
when you see him play, the ease with which he
makes plays, the confidence with which he seems to have
now that he has even more than he did throughout
his career, jump passes that he's making, take it off
on runs down the sideline, It's like the game has
(21:39):
slowed down for him again. And I am not gonna
bet against Lamar Jackson when he's playing like this. He's
gonna get the rest of his converts after the game
too well, as Lamar Jackson right, No, he's gonna get
it all after this. Baltimore's defense is terrible, and we've
seen this, but I don't know that the Steelers' offense
is explosive enough to take advantage of the I don't
(22:01):
just because Russell Wilson throws a pretty deep ball, suddenly
it's Russell Wilson's deep ball, like it's it's reimagining the game.
It's this new weapon, Russell Wilson's deep ball. Yeah you no,
he throws a nice deep ball. That's great. They said
that about Vinny testa Verti till he was fifty five
years old. What a great deep ball, Vinie Testa Verdios.
The success of the Steelers offensively right now kind of
(22:21):
a mirage. You can see where Russell Wilson's getting it
at a little back to earth now that he's had
a few games to be put on tape. I always
say the magic number is four when it comes to
games on tape, and then things wind up getting differently
for you. But because people have seen Russell Wilson for
the past twelve fifteen years, it's gonna be a little
bit sooner. He's beaten a couple of teams that are
(22:43):
really bad, right, the Jets and Giants both stink. And yes,
he's been ok he's been okay, and they've been and
they've had a little bit better offense and they had
under justin Field. And I'll give you that the offense
has been a little bit better than it was under
justin Fields, but overall, this is not a Steelers offense.
It's suddenly gonna take off.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And as even as bad as the Ravens defense is,
I can't see Lamar Jackson losing this game.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It will be too much. I can see Mike tom
Let the end saying we just couldn't stop him. What
are you gonna do? The guy is just that good.
All the flowers he's been giving him through its entire week,
he's gonna continue to give him this weekend and after
the game. I'll take a lot of points in this game.
I'll take the Ravens thirty twenty seven. But give me
the Ravens, give me another big game for Lamara jackson curiosity.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Here is how that first quarter starts to pull out
right in terms of the Ravens. Can the explosiveness of
the offense jump on the Steelers Because you know, one
of the most misleading stats that's been thrown out over
the course of the week I alluded to it earlier,
is that the Ravens only give up seventy three rushing
yards per game. Ask me how many passing yards do
(23:47):
they give up per game.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Mike, how many passing yards they give up per game?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Two hundred and ninety four.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
So why would I run the football A because of need?
You're right, I'm down and I'm facing a deficit that
I've got a clawback from. Or I know that their
corners aren't very good versus Yeah, let's just keep force
feeding the football when I've got to try to play
ketchup on the point total no, thank you. So opportunity
(24:15):
will be there for Wilson, with Mike Williams and with
George Pickens, who's being reinvigorated because he does get a
chance to go make a play. Whereas with fields, if
you weren't in the proper precise route and placement on
the field, it wasn't getting to you right that line
drive throw that had to cut its way through a defender,
(24:37):
which makes for great CGI and video game and movie
type kind of potential where he's Flash Gordon from the
nineteen eighty classic throwing a football in the famous scene
and bouncing it off guys, in this case throwing through
them to get to a wide receiver. That doesn't happen
with Russell at least gives them the opportunity. Can Warren
and Harris have success early to where you get some balance.
(25:01):
It's really the tale of the tape. High Smith is
gonna miss this one. You're gonna see Preston Smith activated
into a bigger way opposite TJ. Watt. Can they create
a little bit of chaos on Lamar Jackson. I'll take
Boswell and the field goal kicking of these Steelers to
pull the upset at home twelve and seven as home
underdogs since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
All right, so there's our take on Baltimore, Pittsburgh on
opposite sides of this one, Kansas City and Buffalo. And
I feel ridiculous. I feel like I'm I'm I'm pushing
a rock up a hill, a big rock up a hill.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Come on, Sissyphus, just say it.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I feel like I'm I feel like I'm trying to
eat vegetables. This is this is where the Bills are
gonna start there. We're the best team in the AFC
at the end of the year run. We talked about
this a week ago. The Bills look like they're in
that in that in that pre flight situation and mode
where hey, very soon people are gonna understand just how
(26:00):
how good we are, and we are taking off and
at the end of the year, we're gonna be the
best team in the AFC. And this is where they
begin it. They're the only AFC team right now that
can beat Kansas City. And you know, you want the
intangibles of them playing at home. Maybe Kansas City doesn't
get the benefit of the officiating that they get sometimes
on fifty to fifty plays, was this player set? Was
(26:20):
this pass interference? Sometimes that's called, sometimes it's not. It
seems to be called when the Chiefs play Zach can
happen an Orchard Park on Sunday near the end. But
mainly I'm going with it because Josh Allen right now
is a better quarterback for four quarters in a game
than Patrick Mahomes. Is he is, It's we'll see it
(26:40):
in this game. We'll see Buffalo score thirty on a
really good Chiefs defense. You're gonna see Josh Allen. He
will make some plays with his legs. It will be
all Josh Allen today. Mahomes has been a game manager
and when does he come up big in the fourth
quarter of games. This is gonna be a first through
fourth quarter for Josh Allen and he's gonna wind up
being the guy that wins the game. He'll jump to
the top of a lot of MVP discussions. Is it
(27:03):
Josh Allen, is it Lamar Jackson? What is it? But
Buffalo has done pretty well against the Chiefs. He's done
pretty well against them in the regular season. They're playing
at home. It's going to be very difficult for the Chiefs,
and I'll take the better quarterback right now. The Chiefs
have been more clutch. We talked about them earlier this week.
You got to play a perfect game to beat them.
Buffalo does it on Sunday, They win, and Josh Allen
(27:24):
jumps to the forefront of all the MVP discussion.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Looks like Amari Cooper is going to be able to
be up and ready for the Bills after missing a
couple of games with the wrist injuries. So add a
little extra spice to this one alongside Khalil Shakir and
what you've got coming out of the backfield. So yeah,
looking at the way the Buffalo offense has been orchestrating
some magic and Josh Allen has taken care of the
(27:49):
football like that's the key to all of it right,
take care of the football and move the ball with
a solid backfield. Cook's been fantastic, so look for more
of that. Yeah, hard to go against the Bills. Hard
to go against the Bills in this spot. Talk to
me again in January when well, maybe you're running through
Arrowhead maybe on the other way, But sitting here going
(28:11):
into week eleven, I think there's more want to and
need for the Bills to prove something here and for
the Chiefs the year of living dangerously like great teams
make plays, finish plays. You guys can have your fun
with your officiating thing and maybe you know the deep
conspiracy theory tinfoil hat crowd can find something for me substantive.
(28:34):
But in the interim, yeah, give me the Bills this week.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, I mean, look, this is it's not the disbelief
in the Chiefs because I feel like, you know, oh,
I'm like you're jumping off the Chiefs after saying how
it's going to take a perfect game to beat them,
and it does. But the Bills are just that good
and they figured things out. The addition of Cooper is
such a big deal, and yes, getting him back is
going to be really big, but They've made the offense
(29:00):
work even without him, made the offense work without him.
It works when Dalton kin Kaid has a good game.
When he doesn't have a good game, and he's banged
up this week, and you know his status is questionable
right now. But when they're a team that runs the
football well and Josh Allen is playing where he's part
of that, the Bills are almost impossible to be. And
(29:22):
I'll tell you there's times when I watch him play,
when I see Josh Allen on a drive and I go,
this is the best ever city in a quarterback play
because of what he does in the passing game and
making the right decisions to run with the ball tucket
under like, there's times when I see him and I go, Wow,
this is just an unreal level of perfection from Josh Allen.
But he needs to be He needs to be a
(29:45):
somewhat part of the game plan with design runs to
and we get that out of Josh Allen, not the
old oh a quarterback he gets hit a couple of times.
Now I feel like I'm in the game. But just
you could see that when Allen was a bigger part
of the offense, he could do all of those things.
It was they were a different team and they didn't
quite need to throw the football as much as they do.
But this is gonna be one of those throwback games
(30:07):
and you're gonna see him do a lot. It's hard
for me to see. It's hard for me to see
us talking about this game on Monday, going, how did
the Chiefs win this game against the Bills on Sunday
unless there's some kind of crazy officiating all at the
end that doesn't go their way? And you know, but
just real, you know, because you mentioned the officiating call,
just to say it's not that the Chiefs have the
(30:28):
officials on their side, right, ah, the Chiefs people want
the Chiefs to win. But boy, it is kind of coincidence.
How of a lot of fifty to fifty calls and
these are it's not that it's oh, the calls are
made for the Chiefs favor and there's a phantom call
there that didn't happen. Really, they looked the other way
and didn't blow the whistle. It's these fifty to fifty
plays where sometimes the whistle is blown and sometimes the
(30:52):
whistle isn't. And it seems like when it comes down
to the end of the game and the Chiefs are involved, Yeah,
that whistle goes in the Chiefs favor, whether it's a
whistle that swallowed or whistled, that's blown. And he said,
but I don't understand, like, yo, the sixteen other crews
would call this penalty. Yeah, but this crew calling this
game is not calling this penalty. Like That's what really
stands out to me. Not the whole Oh hey, look
(31:13):
at this missing Yeah, calls get missed a lot in
the NFL. It's those borderline calls. Is the guy set?
Like is the guy you know with last week? Is
he set? Should this play have counted? Was he set
enough time to go? Like? That's the That's the stuff
I look at with the Chiefs when I go, Yeah,
if you want to have a conversation about that officiating
with me, I can have that with you.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Look at you had to circle it back to that.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Ah, that with you. I'll have it right now. A
guy who has looked at every single play the Chiefs
have run in the last five years and found and
found a discrepancy with over thirty eight percent of them.
It's Steve de Sager with what's trended.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
No watching back Chiefs plays. You still wonder how did
they win that game? And they're still waitting. We'll have
more on Chiefs Bills in a moment. But the Philadelphia
Eagles have one six in a row. They're up to
eight and two. Beat Washington had comeback to twenty six
to eighteen. Saquon Barkley two touchdown runs in the fourth
quarter one hundred and forty six yards rushing. He had
two catches for fifty two yards as well. Eagles had
(32:11):
trailed ten to three in the third quarter but led
twenty six to ten late. Not active for Washington kicker
Austin Cybert not active, it seemed early for Philadelphia their
kicker Jake Elliot. He missed field goal attempts at forty
four and fifty one yards in the first half, missed
an extra point in the second half. But Philadelphia had
Barkley and they won the game. By the way. Jake
Elliot the first Eagles kicker to miss two field goals
(32:34):
in the first four drives of a game since David
Akers two thousand and seven. But these Eagles are up
to eight and two, As mentioned yet again this year.
That's three straight seasons in the last twenty five years
or so in the NFL. They're one of the rare
teams that have done that. Obviously, Tom Brady with the Patriots,
Peyton Manning with the Colts had three straight years of
starting eight and two at the Rams with Kurt Warner
(32:56):
did so as well. The Saints about five years ago
had started eight two in three straight years. Chiefs kicker
Harrison Butker will reportedly miss three to four weeks. He'll
have a procedure on his left knee Arthur scoptic surgery.
Spencer Schrader is being signed by kc Off the Jets
practice squad. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes practice fully today despite
ankle and hip injuries. Bill's wide receiver Amari Cooper, with
(33:19):
his wrist injury, was limited at practice, but he's optimistic
he'll be playing against the Chiefs on Sunday. Buffalo wide
receiver key On Coleman, with the wrist injury, is due
to miss another game this Sunday. He did not practice today,
and neither did tight end Dolton Kincaid. By the way,
Dallas officially named ricco Dudele as its starting running back.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
No more committee.
Speaker 8 (33:38):
A reminder Friday night on Fox TV Ucla at Washington.
One NBA game tonight, Utah, which was winless at home,
beat Dallas one fifteen one thirteen no games in college
hoops in the top twenty five NHL. Tampa Bay at
home beat Winnipeg four to one. The Winnipeg Jets had
been fifteen to one. The Tampa Bay Rays will play
(33:58):
their home Bowl games next year year at the Yankees
Spring Training Stadium in Tampa. And US Men's soccer won
one nothing at Jamaica in a Nation's League quarterfinal opener.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Back to You, Thank you, Steve O.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon
live from the Tireraq dot Com Studios. Coming up next,
a moment coming off of Thursday Night Football that was
just absolutely delicious. Way do we tell you what fans
were chanting following the Eagles win over the Commanders. I'll
(34:29):
give you a hundred guesses. You won't guess it. What
is it? We'll tell you next day.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
You're not gonna die.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
No, it's not stop, it's not bad. It's something different.
That's next Fox.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike
Harmon live at the Tireck dot Com Studios where tonight
was another incredible night for Saquon Barkley. Is best year
as a running back continues. Over two hundred total yards
from scrimmage, couple of touchdowns. Eagles come from behind to
(35:11):
beat Washington Commanders twenty six eighteen, and at the end
of the game, while Amazon is on with their postgame show,
Eagles fans were behind the analysts and you could hear
them all shouting, thank you Giants, Thank you Giants for
(35:33):
Saint claud Barkley. Now you know me, I never miss
a chance to say, ah, Giants, you think you're so good.
But I can't blame the Giants for saying goodbye to
Saquon Barkley. I can't this. This is a guy they
draft with the number two overall pick in twenty eighteen.
He had been there six years. They had seen the
(35:54):
quote best of him. Right, He's a guy approaching his
late twenties. How good is he really going to be?
He had two really elite years and his last elite
year before this one was twenty twenty two. Last year
was his worst year, not even four yards of carry.
He wanted a new contract. I get that he was
a long tenured Giant. The Giants drafted him early when
(36:16):
you know you don't draft a running back number two
overall anymore. I'm sorry, you just don't. But the Giants
decided we're gonna do that. I get that people wanted
him to stay in the whole push pull with the
Giants on the offseason hard knocks. If oh, I don't
want saku On Barkley to go somewhere, that was just
a lot of show. You had to be okay with
letting him go because you're moving on. If you're the Giants,
(36:37):
you're not going to try to build yourselves around a
running back was twenty seven to twenty eight years old,
where you've seen the majority of his career already. Yes,
is he having a great year so far in Philadelphia? Absolutely?
One hundred percent. Is he Is he the best he's been? Yes,
one hundred percent. But it's not like he was coming
off you know, three or four years of thirteen hundred
yards rushing and suddenly it's yeah, I mean, you have
(37:00):
to let them go if you if you Look, if
you go back to the situation without knowing what happened
this year, if you're the Giants, you would have to
especially when you know your plan is we're gonna play
this year and then potentially it's a new GM new
head coach, new quarterback, new everything. Uh, you know, of
course they're gonna let him go. I can't get on
the Giants say, nah, look you let a guy who
was great go. No, nobody, nobody could see this coming.
(37:23):
And if you're going off of the knowledge you had
the previous six years, you would make the same decision
and say, hey, hard to see you go. You've been
with the team through thick and through thin, You've had
a couple of really good years. You've been a great
Giant and and it's it's tough to say this, but
we got to have a business decision here and yeah,
at this point of your career, are you getting better
(37:44):
or are you slowing down? And we haven't been there
to the top of the mountain with you, so yeah,
we're moving on. Every team would have made that decision.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yeah, it comes down to what what's the wins total
going to be? If Saquon Barkley is still there, does
he equate to one more win one and a half?
I mean maybe, And that's assuming you're getting adequate play
out of Daniel Jones, which you did not get.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
You assume a lot.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
You're right, no, but that was a couple of games
he played last year and then he got hurt, and
so he's coming off a major injury. You had signed
Barkley to the one year deal just over ten million dollars.
You got twelve hundred and fifty total yards and ten touchdowns.
That that translate into some massive offensive output that led
you to the winner circle. No, it did not, So
(38:27):
bringing him back. Now the Daniel Jones things, not all
of it works in a vacuum. I know. You can't
excize that and try to say they're independent of one another.
They do impact, but the reality is, one hundred times
out of one hundred, you're picking the quarterback, even if
it's not a guy that the rest of the world
(38:47):
thinks you should pick, if it's your guy. And in
the building it's like, is it better than what the
alternative is? And they decided yes it was. Now they've
got to figure out how to unring that bell. And
as you say, it's gonna be a lot of heads
that role coming out of this table. Probably. I mean,
we had Jason Colaud yesterday. He immediately just did to
one to one. It inserted Belichick into the situation and
(39:10):
moved on from there.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Right.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
So it's that kind of thing right where you already
know the writings on the wall, even with the dreaded
votes of confidence that had been uttered from management in
ownership a couple of weeks ago. But you made your choice.
You decided the running back with several serious injuries in
the past and coming off a nine hundred and sixty
yard season, added about three hundred in the passing game,
(39:35):
but you decided that it was time to move on.
And again with the running back position, Tennessee moved on
from Derrick Henry. They decided he was done.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
How about you?
Speaker 2 (39:44):
That was they were in the same situation.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
And look for both of these teams, it's it's different if, Hey,
the Titans are trying to keep a window open and
the Giants are trying to keep a window open, but
neither of them are. These teams say we're gonna be
starting over. We stick lea stink, We're starting over. The
Titans that say, hey, we're gonna stit over with Will Levis.
We think he's maybe our guy. The Giants know they're
(40:07):
starting over. And this is why when you say goodbye
to those players, is Saquon Barkley's not gonna get you
any closer. Let's face it, a premiere we're setup man
is not gonna get you any closer to the pennant.
These moves by these teams, anybody would make them if
they had a big window open. I get it, but
neither of them did. So. Yes, of course you're gonna
let these guys go and move on because you've had
(40:28):
their best and now you gotta go forward with something different.
Exit out bout a Fresca, Exit swollen Dome. The Jason

Eagles beat the Commanders tonight, twenty six to eighteen. Eagles

coming up in a few minutes. But I'll tell you
it's you know, there's there's sometimes when I say, Mike,
you know, you say this about previews for movies, like
I just want the movie to come out already. Yeah,
I don't want to see another commerce Like when we
it's like a few years ago where it was oh
(01:11):
my god, during every NBA playoff game. Do we need
to see a preview for snow Piercer. I'm done with
snow Piercer. Right, it's still going?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Right? Was that day in one more season coming?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Or is that? Is the train still going or is
the show still lot of train's supposed to keep going
in perpetuity? No?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Right, but is the show still going? Or have they
finally killed it?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I I think snow pier I think snow Piercer has
pierced its last night.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh okay, good, I don't okay finally, but yeah, like
Red One and Wicked, I need them both in the theater.
I'm done with it.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm with you. And I kind of
feel that way about the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight,
like like like it's you know, I'm gonna hit you
over the head with this fight now, I really don't
really care about it. No, but you really do?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
No, I do you do?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Though? You absolutely do. You can't stop talking about it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
We're gonna go. Well, it's tomorrow night. It's tomorrow night
is the fight?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
And tomorrow night's the fight? And crazy as stuff up
and today, which is why we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Exciting us to do it every segment.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You can't get enough of it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You want to step on somebody's toe and take a swing.
You want to wear your little trunks out and please
to shouting things and people.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Look at me. I'm wearing my swim trucks, everybody. Uh.
So we're getting the fight tomorrow night. Finally it's here
and and maybe you know, maybe it's still on now,
but it's been postponed once before. Uh And today brought
you a double barrel of drama involving this fight. The
first was the slap at the way in today. Mike
(02:35):
Tyson didn't like the fact that, you know, whether it
was you know, scripted or unscripted, did not like the
fact that Jake Paul got really close to him and
Tyson slapped him in the face. Jake Paul didn't respond,
and you know, Tyson's handlers came and pulled them away
and they all started talking smack to each other. It
was a big deal. Here's the audio of the slap.
(03:04):
What what, oh man, I'll tell you, I don't know.
Would it would it be if if Jake Paul thought
Dave Chappelle would that be as good as Murphy? Look,
uh this this today. I saw this and I'm like, okay,
(03:24):
you know it made me just go what you know,
the excitement level I have for this fight. I'm like, okay,
we'll play the Tyson interview in a second, which really
just really makes me more interesting about what could happen
in the fight. But like, I feel like we know
what we're gonna get, right, Like this is something where
here's Tyson and he slaps Jake Paul and Jake Paul
(03:44):
doesn't respond. Really, really, a guy slaps you in the
face and you just stand there and there's no response
at all. There's no backing away. It's like he put
his face in so Tyson could slade.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
And he said seeing him at eight o'clock that tlegs.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Me there, you know, I mean, I I like, I
know what's gonna happen, Like this was this was orchestrated
for the cameras. The slap was orchestrated, And we're gonna
tune and people are gonna tune in tomorrow and all
they're gonna do is hold each other up for wherever
long the fight is, and they're gonna end and Jake
Paul's gonna win a decision and Tyson's gonna lose. He's
not gonna care. And Jake Paul needs to win because
(04:18):
he wants to keep his boxing career going. Because this
is what the guy wants to be famous, and this
is the avenue he has found to get famous. So
this is what I and if I lose, no one's
gonna want to see or care. If I fight somebody else,
I'm not have to fight a shark or something crazy
like that. I'm gonna fight a shark in a ring underwater.
That's what's gonna have to happen.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And that worked out well for Michael Phelps, right, He's.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
So really, I think I know what we're gonna get.
I think they're gonna hold each other up for a
bunch of rounds. We're gonna get a decision, and people
are gonna go, why did I get this?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The only thing they already subscribe. That's the beauty of it, though,
Jason is that for most folks it's not an extra
dollar out of pocket except for their time.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah. But but but the only thing that gives me
a little bit of a is that maybe by Tyson
just says Blanket right, blank, blank this blank you blank
you blank all of this and he just comes out
tomorrow and just starts cleaning house right like like it's
a big w when Cogan you should just he's cleaning us,
but not like fifteen people in the ring, he would
(05:16):
just start hit yeah, like that's the only thing that
might tell me, okay, we could get something tomorrow is
that Tyson might just say, you know what, blank all
of this, I'm coming out and I'm gonna kick your
ass just because I feel like it right now, like
whatever we thought was gonna happen, we're gonna dance around.
Oh you know, maybe you a little bit, you would
me a little bit, you know, it's all uh and
instead it's gonna be it's gonna be. Oh well, Mike, Tyson, Wait,
(05:39):
this is not what we thought talked about at all.
This is not part of our plane, not any of this.
And Tyson really just wants to crush Jake Paul.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And like, how you tie it all together with Rocky three?
There I did, so you got a cog and sly
in together. That No, that's good.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I want to see that, you know, hope that maybe
that's it. But really, look, Tyson wants to keep doing
stuff like this. He can't lose big, uh, And Jake
Paul wants to keep going he can't lose big. So
what are weally gonna get? I think we're gonna get
Mayweather Pakiow. We're all look at this fight, Look at
all this money, the pay per view, at all they
do is, Hey, we don't need to hit each other.
Let's just dance around for a bit. Let's dance around
(06:12):
many Pakia walked out of that ring, running to the crowd,
waving and blowing kisses, like I just really didn't exert
myself at all. We just danced around for a bunch
of rounds and it's over, and I made fifty million dollars.
Oh how great was that? Like, I feel like that's
what we're gonna get tomorrow from both of these and maybe.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
We do the over unders sitting at five and a
half round some eight round battle w two minute rounds,
so the opportunity there. I think we've seen a little
bit of Tyson the aggressiveness today and we'll get to
some of the audio goal that he gave us in
a second. But just you know, training hard looking the part,
trying to channel some of that, that old old magic.
(06:51):
And you know, for those that don't want to watch,
you know, the big plenty, I mean, it'll be an
Emirates Cup night in the NBA. You can get excited
about the Smurf turb feel whatever the hell gets you
excitable there, or you can you can just not watch,
go watch, you know, the college football game on Fox.
Certainly we advise you to go do that with your
viewing experience while you listen to us here at Fox
(07:12):
Sports Radio. But yeah, if it doesn't interest you, I
get that. If you're tired of the spectacle of the
Paul brothers and Mike Tyson, I can understand that. I
respect that. But for the purposes of what we do
here and trying to be entertained and find find a
little bit of juice in the entertainment slash sports combo, Yeah,
(07:32):
sign me up, give me the over. Even if they
hug each other, eventually one of the guys is gonna
hit each other. Eventually, one of those guys gonna get
even if it's a glancing blow, that it's enough. And
and look if Paul hits Tyson with with a bit
where he feels disrespected early, you don't think that that
old school Tyson instinct kicks in doesn't mean he can
(07:53):
still do the damage. But you know, like we said
in Beautiful Girls all those years ago, hey be careful.
Legend can still blank you up.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Now. What the really got me interested in this was
earlier in the day, the slat not so much as this,
because this is just so amazing. Tyson did an interview
with Jazzy right, She's been doing interviews for the last
few years, very popular, a kid reporter. She's thirteen now
and Tyson Courth doing all kinds of interviews for this fight,
(08:23):
did an interview that went viral today, And not because
he he said something or that he was really out
of bounds, but because of the reality that he decided
that Jazzy and everybody that watches Jazzy do interviews, the
reality that he wanted to impart on her and everybody else.
(08:45):
This is what's got all the tongues wagon take a listen.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Well, and your return to the ring for this fight,
you are setting a monumental opportunity for kids my age
to see the legend Mike Tyson in the ring for
the first time. So after such a successful career, what
type of legacy would you like to leave behind when
it's all said and done.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
No, I don't believe in the word legacy. I think
that's another word for ego. Legacy doesn't mean nothing. That's
just some word everybody grabbed on to. Someone said that word,
and everyone grabbed on the words, and I was used
every five seconds. It means absolutely nothing to me. I'm
just passing through. I'm gonna die and it's gonna be over.
Who cares about legacy after that? With a big ego?
(09:24):
So I'm gonna die. I want people to think that
I'm this, I'm great, I'm no ware nothing where you're
dead with dust, absolutely nothing, our legacy is nothing.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Well, thank you so much for sharing that.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
That is something that I have not heard before someone
say that as an answer.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Can you really imagine to my saying I want my
legacy to be this way when you're dead? Why do
you want to say you think I might really want
to think about you?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
How?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (09:48):
I think I want people to think about me when
I'm gone? Who the fuck cares about me when I'm gone?
My kids, maybe a grandkids.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
That's true. Kids, And again, thank you so much for
sharing that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
The legacy is secure and all he had to do
is die. That's a lot less work. Let's give it
a truck.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
And again, thank you so much for sharing that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
What a great answer, I mean, what a great response
from Jazzy. Of course we celebrate her professionalism in that moment.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Thank you so much for your answer. I don't know
what to say. Yeah, okay, I mean, what what? What?
What possessed you say? Okay, I'm doing an interview with
a kid, and I'm gonna reminder, hey, everybody, we're all
gonna die. Nothing we do matters. We're all just gonna die.
Everybody's gonna die. Legacy is nothing. We don't need to
And then he curses, and he is talking.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
To a thirteen year old, and he curses, like, what
the what made you think that telling a thirteen year
old about Hey, you know, we're all gonna die, so
just so you know, Yeah, but how about the fight
tomorrow night?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
What does it matter? What does it matter? We're all
gonna die.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
See where that's really would have gotten even better is
if they tied it to you know, we just had
beetle juice, beetlejuice in theaters. If they tied it to
Beetlejuice off Broadway. You're all gonna die, You're all gonna die,
the whole being dead thing, uh, and had a chorus
with it and tied it all together, because that's really
the emphasis that Mike Tyson gave it here. I love
(11:07):
the gravity though, right, instead of fluffy answers. Hey, you
know what, We're gonna go out there and have an
ice exhibition. It's gonna be great. Come and watch it. Ah,
let screw that, let's talk legacy or not.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I want you to know we're all gonna die. Well
I know that a little bit. Yeah, but do you
really know? Do you really know that you're gonna die?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
And again, thank you so much for saying that.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah no, but I mean I know you know in
the abstract, but boy no, I mean real, it's gonna
happen like it. I want you to be ready for this.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You're gonna be fine.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
My god, I'm thirteen years old. Now, it doesn't matter.
We're all going to die. Die.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
We're all gonna die, every one of us, You and
you and you and you and everybody watching, everybody, And
it said, what doesn't matter? What does it matter? And
then like. I like how he got a little self reflective,
like he almost forgot he was doing an interview, like,
who's gonna care? I mean my kids and my grandkids?
Maybe I don't know me my kids and my grandkids.
Oh I'm being interviewed. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter. Blank
(12:01):
that blank. Yeah. I was waiting for the.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
One liner into the camera where he just points out,
I really care what you think about me? Right, you
already have your opinion. I don't really bleep he and
care at this.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I don't care. I don't care. We're all gonna die.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So great, I've good jobbed by her though.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, no, no, no, And that was some kind of
reaction to just say, well, thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you about that very much. I appreciate the.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Perspective I've never heard before. I supposed to say, eat
my well, I mean that would be good, bite my ear.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Thank you very much for sharing. I appreciate that you.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Just broke my dad's heart.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Maybe that maybe that will work for me. Hey, Jase,
your Mets lost, How do you feel your Mets loss
to the Dodgers? What does it matter? We're all gonna die.
Everybody's gonna die to your door.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
He's gonna Yeah. I just figured you were gonna come
in and say that's gonna answer. I would expect you
to have harmon.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
We're all gonna die. We're gonna die.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Oh Tawny, everybody, and again, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Everybody. Everybody goes to the games. Everybody's going. Everybody's got
the hot take.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
He got there, Jackson.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I'm just saying, everybody, see you here. That that that's
what happened.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
That's the story that we put up in socials. Jason
wishes a pox on the house. Anything you want to
say on your last.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Show, this is you're gonna die to Frostburg. Everybod's gonna die.
That's what happens.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
What the word Tyson? Is he wrong?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
No, he's not wrong, he's not. I just you know,
I I don't know that. You know, talking to a
thirteen year old kid about how.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Thirteen year old kids aren't stupid these days? That's true.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yeah, but you know a lot. Yeah, but when you
ask about when when you're asked about something, you just say,
what is it? Mad? Wow, that's a real that's a
real dark head.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Well what do you what do you want to say?
I just don't you know the word legacy means nothing
to me? No, okay, follow up would say something like that,
that's the larger thing.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It's like, hang on, Harmon wants to defend Mike Tyson
saying that everybody's gonna die to a thirteen year old kid.
Go ahead, good buddy, Yeah, good good.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
She was going to ask a follow up. Go if
he just said, you know, the word legacy really doesn't
hold a lot of weight for me. Okay, you think
she's letting that go? No, okay, she was gonna ask
a follow up, and then he would have Yes, Nanny
would have gone down the road to death. He just
jumped right across that chasm and brought you into the
mind's eye.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
If he says I don't believe in legacy, she's gonna say, Okay,
thank you for sharing. That she's gonna say. It was
her answer, Okay, thank you for sharing.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
No, I think the she would have said that to
anything clearly did it might.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Have thank you for sharing?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Thank you, thank you was her answer, regardless of what
he said. I love his answer. Good for you, Mike Tyson.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Listen, it's like you're making this up as you go along.
Harmon it's like you're making it up as you go along.
Now you like that answer, I.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Never said I didn't. I defended it from the top, Okay,
in our chat before the show.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Hey, that's fine. Hey, whenever, whenever your kids ask you
about stuff and about legacy and doing good things in life,
just tell them it doesn't matter. We're all gonna die.
I want you to do that. I want you to
tell your kids that.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Well, I tell him, you got to do the best
you can today. But just remember, in a hundred years,
who's gonna care.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Okay that you tell them that? Really I do?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh okay, all right, this look, don't hurt each other,
don't hurt anybody. Try not to hurt yourself. But in
the end, in the grand scheme of things, as you make,
you know, little innocuous decisions day to day in your life, yeah,
in one hundred years, nobody's gonna care. So motivation another
sandwich motivational speaker Mike Hartman. Listen, it doesn't matter what
you do. It's not gonna matter a hundred years. No
(15:37):
one's gonna care. Where's my check? I'm done, I'm leaving.
Where's my checking? Where's my checking?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
My sandwich I'm done. Oh I can.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I can wax poetic for an hour at a time,
but right now we're going down to brass tacks because
I'm being told to shut up, not by you, by
Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson threatened to slap me upside my head.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Exit. I bought a fresca exit swall on The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Harmon live from the Tirec dot Com.

some Harry Potter metaphors, maybe a could do your curious
George impression. We can still get that message across. It'll

Speaker 4 (17:45):
And again, thank you so much for sharing that.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Oh man, I can't wait. Let's say inspirational speeches by Mike.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You just let me know. I'll show up. Hey, I'm
gonna start my own TikTok channel.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Listen. I know people think that Caleb Williams, you and
DJ Morty to get on the same page, but what
does it matter. We're all gonna die. What is it? Hey?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Energy while you're on the stage, but you go to them,
don't throw to them.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It doesn't matter. We're all gonna die.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
It makes noise, Jason, don't avoid the question.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Mike asked you a question. I did ask a question.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Huh good God.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Asked the question how and year olds are you talking
to tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I'm not I just made it up.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
What playground are you in?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Said a thing? No, I was going to a local
school that I was asked to come speak to couple
young children.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Not really something you want to be making up. Well,
I got a couple of books that I can read them,
that I've written, help them on their pads.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And now kids, Hey, I know you were excited because
you're gonna do sock puppets, but instead, Mike Harmon is
here to tell you about the memorabilia industry and how
to cash in on the big baseball card phase. Right now,
everybody clapped for Mike car.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Mike Harmon is here to tell you about Dare.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Mike Harton's here to tell you about just how bad
things are for the bears. Go ahead and fighting, tell
them all, tell everybody.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
The whole thing sucks.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Oh hey, I.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Once did teach CDC, right, so a little bit of
you know, education, and how did you do it? You're like,
all right, what do you all watch? And then you
tried to impart wisdom based on the characters that they knew,
and in a situation I would do.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Like Johnny from Airplane, Well, first the earth cooled, then
the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But like in terms of you know how we're talking about,
you know, Harmon comes in and speaks the truth. It's
really just an extension of the Phoebe Buffet character. Hey,
it's the lady who tells the truth. The cow in
the meadow goes move yeah no, and the farmer comes
along and bops him on the head, and that's how
we get hambered. I think we do need to explain
Jason to millennials what Dare is.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Oh yes, Phoebe Buffet is to millennials. I mean, I
know they're they're discovering Friends on Netflix now and people
don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
She's a legend. People know her.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
It was a show.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But you can go back from watching a little bit
of Lisa Kudro and Drift Riding to Mike Tyson in
your Netflix subscriptions see how it all works together.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Smelli Cat. So, two big games gonna preview here coming
up this week, and everybody's been talking about these two
contests thanks to Jay Laser stopped buying with us a
little while ago and talked about these two games. Chiefs
Bills and Raven Steelers. These are the games of the week. Really,
Chiefs Bills is the game of the year so far.
You're talking about an undefeated Chiefs team and a Bills
(20:34):
team with two losses, but playing at home. This rivalry,
what it's meant the last few years. Baltimore Pittsburgh. Baltimore
has been rolling. Lamar Jackson has been the best he's
been in the NFL since. Here comes Mike Tomlin. The
Steelers though winning games and with very mind numbing precision
by playing really good defense and getting just enough offense.
So how do we see these games? We'll start with
(20:56):
with Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Normally I would back Pittsburgh and
Mike Tomlin these situations, I would you know what, Listen,
this is Steelers time, right, this is how they do it.
They'll play it close, they'll make the plays in the end,
because they've always made the plays in the end. But
as I said, this is a different Lamar Jackson than
we've seen in the NFL at this point. We talked
(21:17):
about it a couple of weeks ago. He's won a
couple of MVPs. This might be his best season, just
when you see him play, the ease with which he
makes plays, the confidence with which he seems to have
now that he has even more than he did throughout
his career, jump passes that he's making, take it off
on runs down the sideline, It's like the game has
(21:39):
slowed down for him again. And I am not gonna
bet against Lamar Jackson when he's playing like this. He's
gonna get the rest of his converts after the game
too well, as Lamar Jackson right, No, he's gonna get
it all after this. Baltimore's defense is terrible, and we've
seen this, but I don't know that the Steelers' offense
is explosive enough to take advantage of the I don't
(22:01):
just because Russell Wilson throws a pretty deep ball, suddenly
it's Russell Wilson's deep ball, like it's it's reimagining the game.
It's this new weapon, Russell Wilson's deep ball. Yeah you no,
he throws a nice deep ball. That's great. They said
that about Vinny testa Verti till he was fifty five
years old. What a great deep ball, Vinie Testa Verdios.
The success of the Steelers offensively right now kind of
(22:21):
a mirage. You can see where Russell Wilson's getting it
at a little back to earth now that he's had
a few games to be put on tape. I always
say the magic number is four when it comes to
games on tape, and then things wind up getting differently
for you. But because people have seen Russell Wilson for
the past twelve fifteen years, it's gonna be a little
bit sooner. He's beaten a couple of teams that are
(22:43):
really bad, right, the Jets and Giants both stink. And yes,
he's been ok he's been okay, and they've been and
they've had a little bit better offense and they had
under justin Field. And I'll give you that the offense
has been a little bit better than it was under
justin Fields, but overall, this is not a Steelers offense.
It's suddenly gonna take off.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And as even as bad as the Ravens defense is,
I can't see Lamar Jackson losing this game.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It will be too much. I can see Mike tom
Let the end saying we just couldn't stop him. What
are you gonna do? The guy is just that good.
All the flowers he's been giving him through its entire week,
he's gonna continue to give him this weekend and after
the game. I'll take a lot of points in this game.
I'll take the Ravens thirty twenty seven. But give me
the Ravens, give me another big game for Lamara jackson curiosity.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Here is how that first quarter starts to pull out
right in terms of the Ravens. Can the explosiveness of
the offense jump on the Steelers Because you know, one
of the most misleading stats that's been thrown out over
the course of the week I alluded to it earlier,
is that the Ravens only give up seventy three rushing
yards per game. Ask me how many passing yards do
(23:47):
they give up per game.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Mike, how many passing yards they give up per game?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Two hundred and ninety four.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
So why would I run the football A because of need?
You're right, I'm down and I'm facing a deficit that
I've got a clawback from. Or I know that their
corners aren't very good versus Yeah, let's just keep force
feeding the football when I've got to try to play
ketchup on the point total no, thank you. So opportunity
(24:15):
will be there for Wilson, with Mike Williams and with
George Pickens, who's being reinvigorated because he does get a
chance to go make a play. Whereas with fields, if
you weren't in the proper precise route and placement on
the field, it wasn't getting to you right that line
drive throw that had to cut its way through a defender,
(24:37):
which makes for great CGI and video game and movie
type kind of potential where he's Flash Gordon from the
nineteen eighty classic throwing a football in the famous scene
and bouncing it off guys, in this case throwing through
them to get to a wide receiver. That doesn't happen
with Russell at least gives them the opportunity. Can Warren
and Harris have success early to where you get some balance.
(25:01):
It's really the tale of the tape. High Smith is
gonna miss this one. You're gonna see Preston Smith activated
into a bigger way opposite TJ. Watt. Can they create
a little bit of chaos on Lamar Jackson. I'll take
Boswell and the field goal kicking of these Steelers to
pull the upset at home twelve and seven as home
underdogs since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
All right, so there's our take on Baltimore, Pittsburgh on
opposite sides of this one, Kansas City and Buffalo. And
I feel ridiculous. I feel like I'm I'm I'm pushing
a rock up a hill, a big rock up a hill.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Come on, Sissyphus, just say it.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I feel like I'm I feel like I'm trying to
eat vegetables. This is this is where the Bills are
gonna start there. We're the best team in the AFC
at the end of the year run. We talked about
this a week ago. The Bills look like they're in
that in that in that pre flight situation and mode
where hey, very soon people are gonna understand just how
(26:00):
how good we are, and we are taking off and
at the end of the year, we're gonna be the
best team in the AFC. And this is where they
begin it. They're the only AFC team right now that
can beat Kansas City. And you know, you want the
intangibles of them playing at home. Maybe Kansas City doesn't
get the benefit of the officiating that they get sometimes
on fifty to fifty plays, was this player set? Was
(26:20):
this pass interference? Sometimes that's called, sometimes it's not. It
seems to be called when the Chiefs play Zach can
happen an Orchard Park on Sunday near the end. But
mainly I'm going with it because Josh Allen right now
is a better quarterback for four quarters in a game
than Patrick Mahomes. Is he is, It's we'll see it
(26:40):
in this game. We'll see Buffalo score thirty on a
really good Chiefs defense. You're gonna see Josh Allen. He
will make some plays with his legs. It will be
all Josh Allen today. Mahomes has been a game manager
and when does he come up big in the fourth
quarter of games. This is gonna be a first through
fourth quarter for Josh Allen and he's gonna wind up
being the guy that wins the game. He'll jump to
the top of a lot of MVP discussions. Is it
(27:03):
Josh Allen, is it Lamar Jackson? What is it? But
Buffalo has done pretty well against the Chiefs. He's done
pretty well against them in the regular season. They're playing
at home. It's going to be very difficult for the Chiefs,
and I'll take the better quarterback right now. The Chiefs
have been more clutch. We talked about them earlier this week.
You got to play a perfect game to beat them.
Buffalo does it on Sunday, They win, and Josh Allen
(27:24):
jumps to the forefront of all the MVP discussion.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Looks like Amari Cooper is going to be able to
be up and ready for the Bills after missing a
couple of games with the wrist injuries. So add a
little extra spice to this one alongside Khalil Shakir and
what you've got coming out of the backfield. So yeah,
looking at the way the Buffalo offense has been orchestrating
some magic and Josh Allen has taken care of the
(27:49):
football like that's the key to all of it right,
take care of the football and move the ball with
a solid backfield. Cook's been fantastic, so look for more
of that. Yeah, hard to go against the Bills. Hard
to go against the Bills in this spot. Talk to
me again in January when well, maybe you're running through
Arrowhead maybe on the other way, But sitting here going
(28:11):
into week eleven, I think there's more want to and
need for the Bills to prove something here and for
the Chiefs the year of living dangerously like great teams
make plays, finish plays. You guys can have your fun
with your officiating thing and maybe you know the deep
conspiracy theory tinfoil hat crowd can find something for me substantive.
(28:34):
But in the interim, yeah, give me the Bills this week.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, I mean, look, this is it's not the disbelief
in the Chiefs because I feel like, you know, oh,
I'm like you're jumping off the Chiefs after saying how
it's going to take a perfect game to beat them,
and it does. But the Bills are just that good
and they figured things out. The addition of Cooper is
such a big deal, and yes, getting him back is
going to be really big, but They've made the offense
(29:00):
work even without him, made the offense work without him.
It works when Dalton kin Kaid has a good game.
When he doesn't have a good game, and he's banged
up this week, and you know his status is questionable
right now. But when they're a team that runs the
football well and Josh Allen is playing where he's part
of that, the Bills are almost impossible to be. And
(29:22):
I'll tell you there's times when I watch him play,
when I see Josh Allen on a drive and I go,
this is the best ever city in a quarterback play
because of what he does in the passing game and
making the right decisions to run with the ball tucket
under like, there's times when I see him and I go, Wow,
this is just an unreal level of perfection from Josh Allen.
But he needs to be He needs to be a
(29:45):
somewhat part of the game plan with design runs to
and we get that out of Josh Allen, not the
old oh a quarterback he gets hit a couple of times.
Now I feel like I'm in the game. But just
you could see that when Allen was a bigger part
of the offense, he could do all of those things.
It was they were a different team and they didn't
quite need to throw the football as much as they do.
But this is gonna be one of those throwback games
(30:07):
and you're gonna see him do a lot. It's hard
for me to see. It's hard for me to see
us talking about this game on Monday, going, how did
the Chiefs win this game against the Bills on Sunday
unless there's some kind of crazy officiating all at the
end that doesn't go their way? And you know, but
just real, you know, because you mentioned the officiating call,
just to say it's not that the Chiefs have the
(30:28):
officials on their side, right, ah, the Chiefs people want
the Chiefs to win. But boy, it is kind of coincidence.
How of a lot of fifty to fifty calls and
these are it's not that it's oh, the calls are
made for the Chiefs favor and there's a phantom call
there that didn't happen. Really, they looked the other way
and didn't blow the whistle. It's these fifty to fifty
plays where sometimes the whistle is blown and sometimes the
(30:52):
whistle isn't. And it seems like when it comes down
to the end of the game and the Chiefs are involved, Yeah,
that whistle goes in the Chiefs favor, whether it's a
whistle that swallowed or whistled, that's blown. And he said,
but I don't understand, like, yo, the sixteen other crews
would call this penalty. Yeah, but this crew calling this
game is not calling this penalty. Like That's what really
stands out to me. Not the whole Oh hey, look
(31:13):
at this missing Yeah, calls get missed a lot in
the NFL. It's those borderline calls. Is the guy set?
Like is the guy you know with last week? Is
he set? Should this play have counted? Was he set
enough time to go? Like? That's the That's the stuff
I look at with the Chiefs when I go, Yeah,
if you want to have a conversation about that officiating
with me, I can have that with you.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Look at you had to circle it back to that.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Ah, that with you. I'll have it right now. A
guy who has looked at every single play the Chiefs
have run in the last five years and found and
found a discrepancy with over thirty eight percent of them.
It's Steve de Sager with what's trended.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
No watching back Chiefs plays. You still wonder how did
they win that game? And they're still waitting. We'll have
more on Chiefs Bills in a moment. But the Philadelphia
Eagles have one six in a row. They're up to
eight and two. Beat Washington had comeback to twenty six
to eighteen. Saquon Barkley two touchdown runs in the fourth
quarter one hundred and forty six yards rushing. He had
two catches for fifty two yards as well. Eagles had
(32:11):
trailed ten to three in the third quarter but led
twenty six to ten late. Not active for Washington kicker
Austin Cybert not active, it seemed early for Philadelphia their
kicker Jake Elliot. He missed field goal attempts at forty
four and fifty one yards in the first half, missed
an extra point in the second half. But Philadelphia had
Barkley and they won the game. By the way. Jake
Elliot the first Eagles kicker to miss two field goals
(32:34):
in the first four drives of a game since David
Akers two thousand and seven. But these Eagles are up
to eight and two, As mentioned yet again this year.
That's three straight seasons in the last twenty five years
or so in the NFL. They're one of the rare
teams that have done that. Obviously, Tom Brady with the Patriots,
Peyton Manning with the Colts had three straight years of
starting eight and two at the Rams with Kurt Warner
(32:56):
did so as well. The Saints about five years ago
had started eight two in three straight years. Chiefs kicker
Harrison Butker will reportedly miss three to four weeks. He'll
have a procedure on his left knee Arthur scoptic surgery.
Spencer Schrader is being signed by kc Off the Jets
practice squad. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes practice fully today despite
ankle and hip injuries. Bill's wide receiver Amari Cooper, with
(33:19):
his wrist injury, was limited at practice, but he's optimistic
he'll be playing against the Chiefs on Sunday. Buffalo wide
receiver key On Coleman, with the wrist injury, is due
to miss another game this Sunday. He did not practice today,
and neither did tight end Dolton Kincaid. By the way,
Dallas officially named ricco Dudele as its starting running back.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
No more committee.
Speaker 8 (33:38):
A reminder Friday night on Fox TV Ucla at Washington.
One NBA game tonight, Utah, which was winless at home,
beat Dallas one fifteen one thirteen no games in college
hoops in the top twenty five NHL. Tampa Bay at
home beat Winnipeg four to one. The Winnipeg Jets had
been fifteen to one. The Tampa Bay Rays will play
(33:58):
their home Bowl games next year year at the Yankees
Spring Training Stadium in Tampa. And US Men's soccer won
one nothing at Jamaica in a Nation's League quarterfinal opener.

The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon
live from the Tireraq dot Com Studios. Coming up next,
a moment coming off of Thursday Night Football that was
just absolutely delicious. Way do we tell you what fans
were chanting following the Eagles win over the Commanders. I'll
(34:29):
give you a hundred guesses. You won't guess it. What
is it? We'll tell you next day.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
You're not gonna die.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
No, it's not stop, it's not bad. It's something different.
That's next Fox.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike
Harmon live at the Tireck dot Com Studios where tonight
was another incredible night for Saquon Barkley. Is best year
as a running back continues. Over two hundred total yards
from scrimmage, couple of touchdowns. Eagles come from behind to
(35:11):
beat Washington Commanders twenty six eighteen, and at the end
of the game, while Amazon is on with their postgame show,
Eagles fans were behind the analysts and you could hear
them all shouting, thank you Giants, Thank you Giants for
(35:33):
Saint claud Barkley. Now you know me, I never miss
a chance to say, ah, Giants, you think you're so good.
But I can't blame the Giants for saying goodbye to
Saquon Barkley. I can't this. This is a guy they
draft with the number two overall pick in twenty eighteen.
He had been there six years. They had seen the
(35:54):
quote best of him. Right, He's a guy approaching his
late twenties. How good is he really going to be?
He had two really elite years and his last elite
year before this one was twenty twenty two. Last year
was his worst year, not even four yards of carry.
He wanted a new contract. I get that he was
a long tenured Giant. The Giants drafted him early when
(36:16):
you know you don't draft a running back number two
overall anymore. I'm sorry, you just don't. But the Giants
decided we're gonna do that. I get that people wanted
him to stay in the whole push pull with the
Giants on the offseason hard knocks. If oh, I don't
want saku On Barkley to go somewhere, that was just
a lot of show. You had to be okay with
letting him go because you're moving on. If you're the Giants,
(36:37):
you're not going to try to build yourselves around a
running back was twenty seven to twenty eight years old,
where you've seen the majority of his career already. Yes,
is he having a great year so far in Philadelphia? Absolutely?
One hundred percent. Is he Is he the best he's been? Yes,
one hundred percent. But it's not like he was coming
off you know, three or four years of thirteen hundred
yards rushing and suddenly it's yeah, I mean, you have
(37:00):
to let them go if you if you Look, if
you go back to the situation without knowing what happened
this year, if you're the Giants, you would have to
especially when you know your plan is we're gonna play
this year and then potentially it's a new GM new
head coach, new quarterback, new everything. Uh, you know, of
course they're gonna let him go. I can't get on
the Giants say, nah, look you let a guy who
was great go. No, nobody, nobody could see this coming.
(37:23):
And if you're going off of the knowledge you had
the previous six years, you would make the same decision
and say, hey, hard to see you go. You've been
with the team through thick and through thin, You've had
a couple of really good years. You've been a great
Giant and and it's it's tough to say this, but
we got to have a business decision here and yeah,
at this point of your career, are you getting better
(37:44):
or are you slowing down? And we haven't been there
to the top of the mountain with you, so yeah,
we're moving on. Every team would have made that decision.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yeah, it comes down to what what's the wins total
going to be? If Saquon Barkley is still there, does
he equate to one more win one and a half?
I mean maybe, And that's assuming you're getting adequate play
out of Daniel Jones, which you did not get.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
You assume a lot.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
You're right, no, but that was a couple of games
he played last year and then he got hurt, and
so he's coming off a major injury. You had signed
Barkley to the one year deal just over ten million dollars.
You got twelve hundred and fifty total yards and ten touchdowns.
That that translate into some massive offensive output that led
you to the winner circle. No, it did not, So
(38:27):
bringing him back. Now the Daniel Jones things, not all
of it works in a vacuum. I know. You can't
excize that and try to say they're independent of one another.
They do impact, but the reality is, one hundred times
out of one hundred, you're picking the quarterback, even if
it's not a guy that the rest of the world
(38:47):
thinks you should pick, if it's your guy. And in
the building it's like, is it better than what the
alternative is? And they decided yes it was. Now they've
got to figure out how to unring that bell. And
as you say, it's gonna be a lot of heads
that role coming out of this table. Probably. I mean,
we had Jason Colaud yesterday. He immediately just did to
one to one. It inserted Belichick into the situation and
(39:10):
moved on from there.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Right.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
So it's that kind of thing right where you already
know the writings on the wall, even with the dreaded
votes of confidence that had been uttered from management in
ownership a couple of weeks ago. But you made your choice.
You decided the running back with several serious injuries in
the past and coming off a nine hundred and sixty
yard season, added about three hundred in the passing game,
(39:35):
but you decided that it was time to move on.
And again with the running back position, Tennessee moved on
from Derrick Henry. They decided he was done.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
How about you?
Speaker 2 (39:44):
That was they were in the same situation.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
And look for both of these teams, it's it's different if, Hey,
the Titans are trying to keep a window open and
the Giants are trying to keep a window open, but
neither of them are. These teams say we're gonna be
starting over. We stick lea stink, We're starting over. The
Titans that say, hey, we're gonna stit over with Will Levis.
We think he's maybe our guy. The Giants know they're
(40:07):
starting over. And this is why when you say goodbye
to those players, is Saquon Barkley's not gonna get you
any closer. Let's face it, a premiere we're setup man
is not gonna get you any closer to the pennant.
These moves by these teams, anybody would make them if
they had a big window open. I get it, but
neither of them did. So. Yes, of course you're gonna
let these guys go and move on because you've had
(40:28):
their best and now you gotta go forward with something different.
Exit out bout a Fresca, Exit swollen Dome. The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live from the ti iraq
dot Com Studios. We'll have more from Thursday Night football
coming up next hour on the show, including could there
be a new leader in the race for MVP? At
least on this show? But coming up next how about
(40:50):
we preview a couple of the sneaky important games of
this week in the NFL. Jason and Mike, This is
