Speaker 3 (00:47):
But we'll get to a.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Big story out of the NFL that is non Batman
related coming up in a couple of minutes. But yes,
his name is Vengeance. Opening night of the season hard
Knocks with the AFC North. Yay, and already we got
something better than the entire one with the Bears, which
think about this, the Bears, the Bears with all the
(01:10):
crazy ass stuff that happened to them.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
This year.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
All the crazy as stuff that happened. How boring Hard
Knocks was, But that was part of the deal, right,
The Giants gave us a bunch of gold without anticipating
doing such a lot. Yeah, with the GM Joe Shane
and we've seen so much traffic and mileage out of
the Saquon Barkley infamous phone call with the Bears. It
(01:33):
was Matty Eberflu's his beard and his haircut, yeah, and
his wife fawning all over him, and everybody going, he's cute.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
He can't coach, and then he can't coach in the
final minutes of the game. Let's get it right, you
can't coach in the final minutes. That's what I reserved
my ability as a long suffering fan of said squad
to just say it overall because it's lack of preparation
and everything else. Don't forget that for just half of
(02:00):
that Bears Lions game.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh no, there is no they were, but that happens
to lots of teams.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But boy, really the end of games no and D,
the game situations down, distance, clock management, time out management,
all of that. I mean the week before Caleb Williams
made fun of him for burning a time out.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
The other story we got was DJ Morris contract, yeah right,
and his ability to go into an ice cream museum
with his family. That was great, yeah, but it was
it Other than that, we got another You made the
Bears boring. So now Hard Knots clearly feeling the pressure
to make this one this in season with the AFC
North a little bit more fun with a lot of
(02:37):
little more pizazz. Well, we got the Mike Tomlin shot
going into the locker room. Get this damn thing off me. Wait,
you were miked up. About a month ago, this story
broke that Warner Brothers was selling ten fully functional but
not street legal replicants of the Batmobile. Remember I tried
to do a crowd crowd sourcing and go fund yourself
(03:00):
here and we fell short. From the from the Batman trilogy,
from the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy, send fully functional but
not street legal replicants of the Batmobile for the low
price of three million dollars low one low price of
three million.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Three million dollars limited edition.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You're not gonna believe what Joe Burrow told Jamar Chase
on the first episode of Hard Knocks.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I told you up.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Did you get it yet?
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Though?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Right, I can't get it.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
For like a year, but I bought it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Great.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I think it'll be crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I think it'll be crazy. You got to go to
the advances Batman we had, yes, I think all he
bought the batmobile. Borrow bought one of the bat but
he gets.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
In a year, like come on, no, no, look, it's
a long lead, right, come on, man, I know, but
it's like anything, right, they have all sorts of like
on a much smaller scale, uh, lego.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Sets and all those things where it's like, all.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Right, we'll build it if so many people buy in, right,
will produce this? In other words, you fund us doing
the next stage, right of the actual prototypes, et cetera.
This was just conceptually, It's like, what if we put
it out there, would anybody buy them? Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
No, now we have to build them. I hope this
is Joe Burrow, who has been very smart with.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
His money, and not Joe Burrow, who, oh my goodness, dude,
you bought the batmobile. I'm hoping. It's hoping that. I
always hope when I hear so I act spending a
lot of money on things. I hope this is Hey,
I've been really smart and took care of money and
not in five years. It's dude, you bought the batmobile, Like,
what are you doing now? In the end there are
only ten of them. Now does that mean that it
doesn't mean you have to spend three million dollars on one,
(04:40):
But go ahead, help people spend their money. They spend
their money right, And I was just going to make
the argument of at three million dollars in five years,
assuming it's in good working still, what you get when
you want it, to deliver it and you're going to
take care of something you can?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I can I take it to target? Can? I know,
but a target and go in get what I'm You know,
it's not street legal. Whatever you can.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But you think you're not gonna make it street legal,
Come on, man, of course you're gonna make that. You're
gonna to retro fit the size and are if you've
got If you have three million dollars, you didn't buy
it to just have it sit there. You want to
drive that thing? Yeah, where you own land and Kentucky, Ohio.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Where people see you drive.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You want to take where no one's gonna see you
unless a spaceship comes out of nowhere's nobody that lives,
or the White Sox come out of a field, corn Fie,
Look at that dude's got the batmobile. Man, that's pretty cool.
He'll have plenty of ample opportunity. I bought Dark Night
number one when it came out for three cents from
DC Commas.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean, that's it.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
When we have the quote unquote street Legal. There's plenty
of things rolling around Los Angeles that I see at
night when we're driving home from the show. How many
cars do you think that go whizzing by you at night?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yet?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
But there's only one batmobile? Though there's only one batmobile? Well,
there's ten.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well, but okay, in any at any given time, there's
only gonna be I don't think there's gonna be a
bunch of one. Sound Effort had a bunch of batmobile.
Maybe he actually bought more than one. Anyway, the original
point is that there there's investment possibility here because there's
only ten. I'm gonna guess there's more than ten people
with three million to burn.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Oh he's gonna want a batmobile.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That batmobile be the TV show on Home and Garden Television.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
But your point was I'm worried about him and his money. One,
he's got two hundred and seventy five million dollars coming.
I hope he's good. That when he's good, three.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Million dollars is pocket change.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Well, he's good.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Flip that batmobile tree as long as he doesn't wreck it.
The best part of God's money is the in fact
that Chase asked him the real one.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
The real Well.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Might have been a documentary then Chase was watched like Jamar.
Chase lives in a world where Batman is real. I
know you mean bat Batman saves everybody, doesn't he He's
the He's the hero that Gotham deserves. Yeah, but don't
you kind of hope on some level there is a
Batman like figure out there looking after you. I would
hope so as I always look up and see if
Robert Pattinson is hanging out on top of a building
(06:55):
looking I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Emo Batman. Yeah he's looking down it.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay, he's actually in the tree outside your windows, and
that and that bass starts playing and all of a sudden,
it's Ravana singing to you. Uh so, Joe Burrow bought
the Batmore one of the batmobile.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I love Joe Burrow that much more.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Now do you think we're gonna get a movie or
some kind of show about the who's buying the batmobiles?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Look? The fantastic the selling of the batmobiles.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Sure when they come to claim them, maybe they come
over the Warner Brothers studios. Here, they've got a huge display. Uh,
there's my my little touristy kind of thing here. If
you haven't done it, it's fantastic because they got the
whole Harry Potter section and everything else.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And I know the London one. You've you've seen a
bunch of that. But all the Batman, you know, all
the old batmobiles and costumes and everything else. I mean
the Riddler costume is up for sale, the one that
Jim Carrey wore, so we can get that. I'd really
rather have the Gorshan with all the question marks on it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, does it stretch? I can wear that in the
studio all over it, I would hope so. But look,
I hope he takes the games. I wanted to pull
up out side and go here's getting at anytime soon, Jase.
Here's Burrow pulling up outside of brow ahead five. That's it. Yeah,
he's got to wait a year it again. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I mean, there's got there's gotta at least be some
kind of special when he goes to pick that up.
Who is is bail gonna be there? Killian Murphy?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Who I am?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I know you're Christian Bale, but I'm using my voice
to make you think.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
No, I know you're Bruce Way. I know you're Batman.
I can tell.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Does Michael Caine show up? You just guy the mask
shows up?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Oh yeah, yeah, Killian Murphy and the Scarecrow once he's
done with the peaky bleeping behind yours.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh listen, Joe, I gotta do your paperwork with the
Scarecrow and then uh, well we'll see.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
We'll see out here. You can think the man like you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I could use one of those in this extended universe.
Killian Murphy, Scarecrow.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Movie so already already better than the Bears. I like that.
That's all all you had to say, was Batman. You
had me. They could have showed a touchdown. It was
better than the Bears. Ah yeah. How much of the
defense did they show, though?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Because I think people wanted to turn away from that
horror film.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Not your father's Now speaking of defense.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
We had the big move today, the big announcement that
as He's al Shaher was suspended for three games for
his hit on Trevor Lawrence. Have we seen hits like
this on quarterbacks in the past, Yes, have we seen
suspensions like this?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Is this something that has deserved? Yeah, when you go
after a guy and you hit him with a forearm
and he goes down any postures right away, and you
know it's incredibly grave. You have to do something to
stop this from happening. So here's a three game suspension
for alsha Here. He's going to appeal it, but right
now it's three games. And when the dust is settled
with this story and obviously all best thoughts of Trevor
(09:41):
Lawrence as he recuperates from this, I can't help but
but just think this is the reason we're here is
because it's the NFL's fault.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
The NFL.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
This is kind of going back to I don't know
what a catch is, and how for five years we
didn't know in the NFL what a catch was because
every year it changed, and having control controlling the football
going through the end zone, not going through the end zone,
sosin Safarian Jigens and not complete the catch. And we
went through that for five years, and I'm sorry. But
when we go through for five years and players routinely
(10:11):
say I don't know what it catches, I don't get that.
That's on the NFL for not making it better. And
when I still see quarterbacks getting hit like this, this
is on the NFL for not making their hitting a
quarterback rule much more cut and dried and streamlined. Players
don't know where the line is. Sometimes that you can tell, Okay,
I hit the guy face mask to face mess. I wait,
(10:32):
but this time I had a perfect form tackle and
because I fell on top of them, that's a penalty.
And I don't know why. And when you when players
don't know how to play, they get pissed. And if
players don't know what's over the line, what's not over
the line, players are gonna go, well, I'm gonna do
what I do and if they give me a if
they give me a penalty or refine, I get a
penalty refine. But that's why we're at where we are
(10:53):
with these late hits on quarterbacks is because still we're
three four years into these new rules of what you
can and can't do to a quarterback, and still we
get routinely ridiculous calls of here's a roughing call on
Patrick Mahomes that I don't understand. Here's a call on
Jameis Winston last night that's missed. When when a defender
hit some face mask to face mask when another defender
(11:14):
already had him in the grasp. The NFL has got
to find a way to get a handle on this
whole situation. So everybody knows this is what's gonna get
you a penalty. This is not gonna get you penalty.
Don't get frustrated, don't get upset if this happens, it's
not a pen But because we still have this, and
we have officiating crews that call it however they feel
(11:36):
at that moment, and they miss calls or they don't
feel that him landing on top of a quarterback was,
but this guy landing on top of quarterback is, you're
just getting defensive players more upset and they're gonna continue
to do whatever they want to do because part of
it mentally is going to be, well, you're not helping me,
so screw you. If I'm gonna help you, I'm gonna
hit this quarterback. I'm gonna do it. If you want
to find me, go ahead and find me. The NFL
(11:56):
had fast to find a way at this point to
say this is what it's going to be and there's
gonna be no derivations from it. If you hit a
quarterback like this, it's a fine, it's a suspension, and
maybe we'll back off a little bit of landing on
the guy or some kind of ridiculous head on the football.
I always say that this is something that should be
done after the games are over and over the course
(12:17):
of the week. Right, you want to call the penalty,
but the whole big thing is, let's let's do all
the jurisprudence of it. Let let's take care of this
after the game is over and and have some kind
of some kind of jurisprudence decision where players are going
to stop doing this, We're going to stop seeing quarterbacks
get hit this way, and there's no and there's less
controversy over what a penalty is and what is it.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, I've thought it was.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Curious in the the aftermath. Right, Obviously, the finger wagging
from Demiko Ryan's rings hollow, especially when you get the
Greatest Hits collection of Al Shahir and his history.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
It's you know.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The idea of you play to the edge of what
you can, right, that's what makes you, uh the player
you are, and you're within the rules and you're right
at that edge and bending it. In this particular case,
the forearm coming down into his helmet. Yeah, egregious, next
level stuff. But you know, to take your first point
about the catch, we still don't know what a catch is.
(13:12):
In the middle of the field. Right now, we can
dot the sideline and get our feet down and then
fall out of bounce.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
But that's fine.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But if I catch the ball with get both feet
down and then I only take a half third step
and the ball comes free somehow, that's not a fumble.
I didn't make a full football move like, okay, then
why is it dead here?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Why is it dead here? Why? It makes no sense?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So that's still a problem what a catch or is
there isn't Tom Brady taken up for this other part
right when we're talking about quarterbacks and trying to get
through you watch the Bears Lions game. How many people
lost their mind over the Caleb Williams play when he
was running and then he stopped and then he got
run through and I was like, oh, that's.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
A dirty hit.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
It was like, no, he came back in the field
to play. He didn't step out of bounce. It's like
he went for the half assed mahomes, Oh, I'm going
to kind of go out of bounds. You're gonna stop
playing and then I'm gonna keep going for it. That's
the other part. There's gotta be an onus on the
offenses and quarterbacks for some responsibility.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
The slide is the best and the worst thing, because like,
well I'm free because I'm now sliding. It's like, well,
the guy's already moving into strike pos to come and
tear you apart, and now you make a half ass slide,
you know, the little odd two yard thing instead of
a full hey, I've given myself up kind of moment.
I mean, the game moves too fast, which means you're
(14:35):
gonna have too many impactful plays and big grave hits
to a quarterback like this. I did like that. Trevor
Lawrence or at least whoever was running his Twitter account,
showed hey, I'm okay by clapping back on people that
were coming at him on Twitter. So at least we
got a little bit of snark coming out of it.
But to your point, Yeah, they've got a long way
(14:56):
to go to resolve this one exit. How about a
Fresco at Swollen Dome. Ja Smith Mike Harmon live from
the Tireck dot Com Studios. Coming up next, our most
trusted college football insider stops by his thoughts on the
next to last playoff pool? Is Alabama really deservedly ranked
ahead of Miami?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
That and more coming up next right here, Jason, I'm
like Fox.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
They should release the college football Playoff Final Playoff poll
to this song, and let's get a look and see
where the final seedings are. People representing the last teams
on the bubble, and one of them has the football
taken away when they go to kick it.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
And like they dance on like snoopy, Hey, look who's
dancing on? Oh it's Alabama. Who's not dancing on? All Miami?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So college football to last Playoff Paul is out. This
tells you exactly what the committee thinks of where the
team should be seated, and they have said that for
Alabama and for Miami, which is where the crux of
the controversy lies. At Alabama being ranked ahead of Miami,
neither of them will lose their standing going into next week.
(16:19):
So you're not gonna see Miami leap ahead of Alabama,
which means you're gonna see Miami home for the college
football playoff. Syracuse killed Miami.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Did the committee get it right? Joining us now on
the hot line.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Nobody better than the owner, editor, proprietor Grand Pooba of
college Footballnews dot com. You're one stop shopping for college football,
all the picks, all the prognostications, all the analysis could
possibly want. He's on Twitter at Pete Feutach. It is
Pete Futack.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
What's happening, Bud can? I?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Well, now I'm gonna give you my hot my unpopular
hot takes. That Charlie Brown music puts me in a
horrible mood. There's so mean to him. That's the Kids
show ever, because they're just ruthlessly cruel to this poor kid.
I've just I never I never understood it as a kid,
I get it less now as an adult, and I
(17:11):
admit I am a lonely man on this one.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
So what you're saying is that poor kid is Miami.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Pretty much or s m U or South Carolina or
actually that poor kid right now in Ohio State fan,
you're god, oh the whining, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Ohio State could win the national title. Peton fans are
going this year was a failure, this failure.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
You're you're you're not joking. I cannot take it anymore.
You want that with the whiniest Oh, oh my god,
I'm gonna get a mean text from Bill and Accounting.
Now he's got Michigan. Like it's, oh, I mean seriously, like,
you know, suck it up, Buttercup, you're playing for the
NA got the best team, You're gonna probably play for
the national title. And it's like, you're right, You're exactly right.
(18:02):
I don't care. We want to Michigan. Let's get over it.
Like I don't know. I get the rivalry thing, of course,
but like I don't know, come on, it's a game.
You're gonna just go win, go win something bigger than this.
So but yes, but I digress.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
All right, So so let's start here with the controversy
surrounding Alabama ahead of Miami.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Uh, Whearry, do you like this? Do you agree? Do
you disagree? Where are you? I?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Well, I don't kind of get the Miami part of this.
The bigger one is the SMU. If they lose to Clemson,
and because it's pretty cut and dry, SMU beat Clemson,
then we're we're all pretty good. The problem with Miami
is where's your win? You know, where's the where's the
one w that's out there that you can say, oh yeah,
Miami beat this team and you know they're just it
(18:51):
doesn't exist. Well, it's an easy thing for the committee
to to justify. And this is the you know, for
South Carolina, for old myths, for all these teams they're
gonna they can be able to say, look, Clinton, you know,
got housed, buy Georgia, Alabama beat Georgia, South Carolina beat Clemson. Well,
Alabama beat Clemson or beata South Carolina. So like they've
(19:13):
got a couple of decent wins. I don't get it.
I think that lost to Oklahoma is a disqualifier at
this point. But apparently you know, the committee, like I
told you guys before, I've seen it it's over there
in the corner. There's a little in case of emergency,
break glass and pull out Alabama and there you go,
so that they're just gonna go with Alabama and just say,
well they you know, they beat Georgia.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
So did you think Syracuse would be the thing to
upset the Apple Card?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I mean they would, Yeah, cold you last week, I
think I think it's on I've got to be on
tape somewhere right now.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You're on tape, but you're on Twitter lamenting their early struggles.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It was when it was.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Twenty one nothing, when Miami's up twenty one nothing, Pete Texan, ut,
hey my thoughts that Syracuse.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Are gonna give Miami a game today? Yeah, I'm sorry
about that.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
And then I was like therefully, yes, yeah, but you
spurred them onto greatness thereafter.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I did, I jumped back on my own bandwagon there no, yeah,
but that that was one of those things that we
discussed this and Syracuse is going to go Syracuse. You
know that was going to kind of happen. You know,
you've got you know, the two number one passing the country,
number two. Those guys are going to bomb away. And
so it certainly did happen. But that's that's certainly changed
up everything because Syracuse doesn't do that. Then all of
(20:27):
a sudden, this weekend becomes Miami and SMU and it's
a completely different discussion.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
So we talked about where the the changes to this
are likely going to come after this season, and the
first one I can say, Pete, that I'm pretty positive
about is that there's going to be a rule put
in that, Okay, the top four the conference champions are
all going to get in, but they're not going to
be guaranteed to be the top four seeds because you
keep looking at Boise State being number four. That's going
(20:53):
to piss off so many people, and it's going to
be hey, you'll get in, you're guaranteed to get in,
but you're not just going to get one of the
four seeds because you're a mid major conference.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Or about Clemson against the four you know, right because
right now as we're talking, that's kind of the problem
is that, you know, the Big Twelve champion first of all,
the Big twelve losers out and the Big twelve champion.
If UNLV and Clemson win, the Big Twelve champion might
be the three you know, so I mean like it's
it's a little too quirky in that way. You do
(21:23):
have to give something. You have to throw the throw
a cookie to the champions for something. The reason why
I do sort of get the putting the conference champion
in the four at least for now, is that the
reward is you get that extra week off and that
you won your conference championship and instead of you know, okay,
(21:43):
well now you've got to go play an extra game,
you get a buy and so you get to miss
that one extra thing, so that I get at the reward.
The big loser in this is, you know, Penn State.
Like for all the things I joke about with Ohio State,
it's my second unpopular take on this thing is that
you know what, losing to Michigan, they actually catch a break,
(22:03):
get three weeks off. Yeah, they get time, they get
time off, they probably get them, but they're probably gonna
get like Indiana, okay or something like Okay, they're gonna
beat Indiana. They get a pretty easy first round matchup
at home. And if you look at how the bracket happened,
that's three and four seed. How it shakes out being
seven or six or seven.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Not too bad, breaking down the playoffs from a different angle,
making Ohio State fans feel maybe slightly better here today out.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Not even a little bit, not even a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I didn't say you were trying to just saying maybe
that was it the silver lining.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Not even a little bit. No, no, no, mister power,
not even a little bit. No, it's Pete.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Few Tech College Football News is where you find in
college Footballnews dot Com at pe FU Tech in the
Twitter verse, Jason Smith Show with me Mike Harmon here
Fox Sports Radio, as we talk all things college football.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
We'd be remiss, Peat.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I mean, the rankings are are exciting, but you know
they're secondary to all the chaos and hand ringing coming
out of the flag.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Do we have to put gait on it isn't that in.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
This process with the number of flag incidences over the
weekend and hand ringing that came out of it, the
sky's falling, Pete.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The whole world's going to hell.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Here's my thing. If you're if the opposing team can
figure out how to plant a flag into field turf,
you tip your cap, you say you are the better team.
That's you know, they just move along. It's ridiculous. I mean,
come on, like you just played each other. I mean
it's like, oh gosh, look they're pushing and shoving each
(23:37):
other's football players.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
That's what they do.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Like, it's like it's just and they bring out the
Pepper experience that just do Texas and Texas A and
M did it right. The security came out and they
stood on the logo and they're like, no, we're not
doing this. So Kesy and took these guys like, uh uh,
we're not. We're not you know, being those guys just
you do that. But I guess like, oh no, wow,
reallyal House State, your feelings are hurt. Now, okay, I
(24:02):
guess goes along with it. But it's all silly. I
get just don't do it. It's class if it's silly.
But if someone tries to do that, just accept that
they're you know, ridiculous, and good luck planting that flag
into the field turf.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Well, I think that's I think.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Look, I think it's pretty easy to think that that's
going to get out lawed in the offseason. Somehow college
football will come together and say, okay, no more flag planting.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
We don't want that. I can't see that being actually
allowed next year.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Yeah, you cant do something. I mean that, that's it.
Just it's a bad look. It just leads to worse things.
But obviously everyone's emotions are high right after the game,
and just whatever you have to do to get those
teams away from each other after a game, just do it,
especially a game like that.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
All right now, I want to throw something a little
bit radical at you here with what's going on with
the playoff poll going into the final week of the
season starting next year, the if you make the championship
game in your conference, you qualify for the playoff. Because
I look at a team like SMU that look they
should be they should be Clemson. I mean when you
(25:04):
lose to Syracuse round. But if you're SMU and you
lose to Clemson, right, you made it to your conference
championship game. Now suddenly it's gonna be well, who do
we take a two loss SMU team or a three
loss Alabama team? And SMU gets penalized because they went
further than Alabama because they made their conference championship game
(25:24):
and they played and they lost, compared to Alabama who
couldn't make it and didn't win. I think there's got
to be something for making the conference championship game and
getting it. You know, your scene is wherever it's going
to be, and obviously the winner is going to be
seated higher. But if you make the conference championship game,
I think you kind.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Of have to get in.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Here's the problem with that. It's not fair if you
play a tougher schedule, and if you look at like
my example right now has been the whole idea. Oh,
you can't punish a team for a loss. Texas A
and M just lost to number two Texas and they
went from twenty to out. And if you look at
Texas A and M, they've got to win over Florida,
(26:01):
they got to win over LSU.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
They have a win over.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Number nineteen Missouri. That's a better win than anything Penn State,
Notre Dame. I know, they beat A and M right
on down lay Indiana. You know, like like nineteen of
the team, Texas A and M is a better win
than most of the teams in the top twenty five.
Like if you played a brutal schedule, it's kind of
(26:23):
not fair, and you're supposed to be able to say,
you know what you guys played. You know, the number
one five and ten teams and you lost to them.
We can't really and you're not in the championship, we
can't really punish you for that. While SMU plays you know,
Virginia and you know Wake Forest, it's just not quite
the same.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
All right, let me ask one last question coming out
of Michigan Ohio State back to the football side of it.
Offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell gets fired by Michigan one. Was
it the incoming underwood that sealed it? You know, as
a quarterback watching the offense, I mean they got a
hamstrung and without a quarterback here.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Pete, I think it's ridiculous that Curtis Rourke was not
the Michigan quarterback. Like, you're Michigan, how do you not
go into the season with a you know, one of
the top you know, transfer possibilities at quarterback there? And
you know, thank your lucky stars that you know what
was the one thing Ohio State could do to lose
that game? It's the punch down and say, hey, you
(27:21):
know what, that team on the other side, they can't
throw or complete a downfield pass and their secondary is
completely depleted. So you know what, We're going to run
the ball into the middle of the line, and you know,
twenty four times, it's like the fewest carries since like
twenty eighteen. We're gonna run it. We're just gonna kind
of forget to throw the ball and we're going to
(27:42):
just rely on our defense and field goals and oops,
there are two chip shot field goals missed. He kicked
them straight. They win sixteen thirteen and get out of there.
Doesn't work. They lose. And now everyone said.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That is at and everyone said, check out college footballnews
dot com, all the analysis, all the previous predictions for
conference championship weekend. Again college Footballnews dot com. He's got
all the picks himself. He's got all the previews himself.
Pete is always money appreciated. Man, we'll talk to you.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I thought you got quite Syracuse and Michigan can't play
for the national championship.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
But okay, dude, if syric is, if we had just
beaten either Boston College or Stanford, we'd be on the
cusp of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, if I were.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Five inches taller, blah blah blah. Yeah, but that game
we lost, like we got killed. That game.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
We should have been Stanford End or Boston College. But
we killed Miami, so it's.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Killed.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He showed up all so he had the one bad
game against Look, I led thee but that one bad game.
If you're gonna do the well, if we've done that,
well that was him.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
But a lokay. So I'll take eleven and one. Can
we be in the playoff? Man Syracuse in the playoff? No?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I know 're not. And that's the sad part. That's
not how it works. Is this the best it's gonna be?
Because boy, we had Kyle mccordiny was awesome.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
This is good as just credit good.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Another guy who asked himself every day, is this as
good as it's gonna get? Is Steve Desager as he
tells us what's trending right now in the wide world
of sport?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
And then I work on this show anyway? Sure? Wow?
Speaker 5 (29:16):
This Friday on Fox TV, number ten, Boise State hosts
number twenty UNLV in the Mountain West Championship game sorry
eight pm Eastern Time on Friday. The final playoff bracket
will be announced this Sunday and the bowl matchups. Oregon
is still number one in the new college football playoff rankings.
Texas is now number two. Penn State is number three.
(29:37):
Notre Dame is number four, but it cannot get a
first round by because as an independent, it cannot be
a conference champion. SMU number eight could be a conference
champion this weekend. Boise State, for that matter, could be
as well and get a first round by. In fact,
Boise State currently is ranked higher than any Big twelve
conference team Arizona State number fifteen. Ohio State fell to
(29:58):
number six tonight, Alabama number ver eleven. Miami's down to
number twelve, so Bama could be the last team in
while the Caynes might just miss the college football playoff.
Michigan fired offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell to the NBA Scoreboard,
We've got games going on, only three of them.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Late night one in LA halftime.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Clippers over the Blazers sixty three fifty eight. At Denver
it's the Nuggets seventy three seventy one over Golden State
mid third quarter, and at Sacramento mid third Kings up
seventy six sixty four over Houston. Earlier, Dallas won its
fifth straight game, beating Memphis one twenty one one sixteen,
LUKA donsich thirty seven points. Oklahoma City dominated Utah one
(30:39):
thirty three one oh six. Jazz have lost five straight
Utah with twenty nine turnovers, wins for Phoenix and Toronto,
wins for New York and Philadelphia, which won at Charlotte
one ten one oh four. Hornets have lost six straight.
Paul George twenty nine points and eight assists. Milwaukee won
at seventh straight and Cleveland pounded Washington. The Wizards have
lost fifteen in a row. In college basketball, right now,
(31:01):
about three minutes to go at Clemson, Tigers still ahead
of number four Kentucky sixty six sixty third ranked Tennessee
still undefeated, pounded Syracuse ninety six to seventy. Michigan won
at number eleven Wisconsin sixty seven sixty four, and on
FS one earlier, Villanova at home defeated number fourteen Cincinnati
sixty eight to sixty. The Red Sox are signing reliever
(31:23):
Eraaldus Chapman, who turns thirty seven in February. In the NHL,
Colorado trailed four to nothing after the first twelve minutes,
still won five to four at Buffalo, the Sabers first
ever home loss after leading the game by four. In fact,
the folks in stats Ink said the Sabers are the
first team in the history of the NHL to jump
(31:44):
out to a four goal lead in the first fifteen
minutes of a home game and then go scoreless the
rest of the way and end up losing. And US
women's soccer won today two to one at the Netherlands
in its final exhibition of the year, despite being outshot
twenty two to five. If at cornerkicks were nine to
nothing Netherlands in this one, but the same Dutch defender
who had scored early in the first half headed in
(32:05):
an old goal for the US late in the first half.
The Americans last Saturday had had a zero zero tie
at England seventy eight thousand fans at Wembley Stadium for
that one. The Americans finish out the year with a
record of eighteen to one with four draws, undefeated in
matches outside the country, and in fact, the US is
unbeaten in twenty straight dating back to a loss in February,
(32:27):
and I must mention with the new coach, Emma Hayes,
the US had only trailed once in fifteen matches until
today and sort of.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Sort of apropos that we get out shot like that
in the game, and today was the last game for
a listenaire who caps her illustrious career two World Cups
and a gold medal.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Wait a minute, you really don't want to keep playing?
You're sure, you're sure?
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Can you please belie about a decade as the USA
goalkeeper and winds up getting the W and earned it.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
They really needed her.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
It is rare that you see the women's team just
being completely outclassed on the field, outdone, were dominated in
the first half of this one.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Then still the triplets didn't play. I mean that they are.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
They are whatever you want to say about the US
women's national team. They are built on Swanson and Rod
and now they're they're built on the three of them
for the next two World Cups.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Sophie Smith, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Triplets are the ones watching those free runs down the
down the lanes.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Yeah. Defensively, man, that was a lot of space.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
It could have been at least three nothing deficit at
one point late first half.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
We'll get to Lindsay Horan and Rose level the later day. Well,
we'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Thank you to The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon,
live from the Tirerack dot Com studios coming up next.
If you thought Juan Soto potentially signing the next couple
of days is the biggest baseball story of the night.
Way do we tell you about a change that could
be coming to the game. It's insanely good.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
That's next. Fox.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It is The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon live from the tire rack dot Com studios.
And outside of Juan Soto potentially signing sometime in the
next few days, got the big story earlier today from
Baseball that he could sign before the Winter Meetings even
start at the latest when they end next Thursday. So
our long national nightmare might be over. Wan Sota might
(34:26):
be picking a team soon.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's not evenna get me through the advent calendar.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
No, come on, he's you gonna put up your diehard
advent calendar and Hans Gruber is gonna be falling down
to me.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
He'll be midway falling and Wan Sota will have a team.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Think about that the beginning and Alan Rickman, there's been
a deal.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
In place for weeks. Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, I'm sure Dodger,
Yeah yeah, the Mets, they're waiting.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
See the only team dumb enough to give him six
hundred millions. Okay, we're put fifty million dollars at the
end of that, and we're gonna get him. But another
story tonight, which I know that baseball purists are gonna
hate this, and I get it, but understand that sports
need to roll with the times and need to change,
and baseball has always been a sport that has changed
(35:10):
the slowest. You could still look at a baseball game
from the early nineteen hundreds and it looks like a
baseball game. Like you watch a football game or a
basketball game for the early nineteen you go, what the
hell kind of sport is this? Well, it just sped
up baseball game. It's like, you know, the Babe Ruth
running around the bases. He's at the speed that guy's run. Now,
Baseball's timelessness is what it has. It's always leaned back
(35:31):
on that, but even the sport understands we need to
go forward and make changes as reticent as Bud sealing was. Okay,
let's add a wild card. Fine, Oh wow, look people
actually like that. According to Rob Manfred, and this is
a story that Jason Stark MLB long time LB insider
talked about on his podcast Baseball Says, and I say basely.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Rob Manford says, there is.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Growing buzz for a rule change that could institute the
golden at bat. The golden not the golden sombrero, the
golden at bat, meaning that once per game, a team
can put anybody they want up to face a pitcher
for one at bet anytime during the game. Baseball looking
(36:17):
at the fact that, hey, we want our best players
to get more publicity. This hearkens back to Mike Trout
facing Sho Hao Tani the World Baseball Classic. Let's find
a way to make some crazy drama at the end
of a game even more instead of Hey, the Mets
will be able to put Francisco Landor up instead of
Jesse Winker, you know, something like that. And people hate
(36:39):
Jason's value, Like, I know, baseball purists are gonna hate this,
but this is an unbelievably good idea. It's not fair
for pictures because they go, okay, get to the bottom
of Oh no, you're gonna have Otani coming up. But
then again, I'll go Eddie Seacott from from Eight Men
Out when he said things are always hard on pitchers. Uh,
this is an incredible idea. It's an amazing bit of
(37:01):
drama and strategy when you know, once a game you
can put up anybody from your team, anybody from your
lineup up at bat for one at that could be
the ninth inning of a game, could be in a
high leverage situation, bases loaded, nobody else out of the
ninth hitter coming up. You have the number one hitter
coming up, and then he'd be able to hit again.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Let just think about that, like you had Otani and
then you know hitting ninth is Chris Taylor and the
bases loaded the seventh inning against the Padres, and Otani
bats ninth, and then he bats again right like he
can bat ninth, and then he can bat again right
right away because he's batting first in the batting order.
Like this is this is a real outside the box
rule change. But I can see how this is going
(37:43):
to be received by fans and just running to the television. Oh,
you're gonna get Otani and Diaz or whatever it's gonna do.
You're gonna get Bryce Harper and Devin Williams, whatever it's
gonna be, and all of a sudden, here's a huge
made for TV moment. No, I can see how this
is going to be something that fans are gonna go No, no, no,
oh no.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I really like this. I really like this.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
I still have issues with a lot of the other
stuff they've done, ghost runners, banning, the shift, all of
those things.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
The pitch clock, I still have some issues with it.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
They've all worked, though they've all worked, they've all worked.
The baseball is continuing to draw.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
But here here it is, as I'm sitting here behind
the microphone, this is about my thought and I don't
like it. Now, will it probably happen?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Sure? Okay?
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Because of Drop Manford at this point, he's desperate to
have something other than the pace of play be his legacy.
There's a lot of logistical things that have to happen.
So if I'm say, oh, Tony's just the obvious guy
that we use, let's just say Ronald Lacuna Junior comes
back and he's on second base, does he get the
bat if you still have the golden at bat, so
(38:50):
now there's a pitch runner, or does that preclude it
from doing so, since he's already bad at and he's
on bab pitch running ghost Runner, Real ghost Runner, Real
ghost Runner ghost Runner at first.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Now I'm gonna bat and I'm gonna done, or I
strike out and I say, ah, pull it out the flag.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
I want a duo.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I want to hit again.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I'm gonna hit again. I think I got a beat
on him after that tenth and tenth pitch of that
it back.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Obviously, there's gonna be a little bit of a ways
to try to figure out the best way to incorporate this.
The Savannah Bannon Bananas already do this. Is that why
Rob Banford's on board because he sees them selling out stadium? Dude, dude, wait, wait,
do you see how many Savannah Banana ideas get incorporated
in the.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Next ten years? Right when you take him out, you
have to dance.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
You just wait, everybody's gotta do the electric spide Hey,
short stop you two baseball in twenty thirty four. It's
gonna be one big Banana's game.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
It's what it's gonna be. Top to them on the
real question coming off this is I think Roger Clemens
asked it today on Twitter. Okay, he's not gonna have
to come back. Tony strikes out right to you in
the inning. Can he come back up again? No, that's
what I mean from the spot in the batting order.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yeah, Like if you move Otawny and he's hitting ninth,
by batting for something, he strikes out to end the inning,
he leads off the next thing because he hits first
in the batting order.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Yeah, so he just goes back to the spot. If
he's the second out, can he be up again? Yeah?
If it's it's late, No, No, not if you're like
he can like if he moved to eight, you said
it at any time? A yeah, but it's one time.
You get to do it one time in the game.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
We'll have more in this coming.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I mean, look, this would just be I could see
how fans would just love this. That and a big
story out of college football next

Speaker 3 (00:47):
But we'll get to a.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Big story out of the NFL that is non Batman
related coming up in a couple of minutes. But yes,
his name is Vengeance. Opening night of the season hard
Knocks with the AFC North. Yay, and already we got
something better than the entire one with the Bears, which
think about this, the Bears, the Bears with all the
(01:10):
crazy ass stuff that happened to them.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
This year.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
All the crazy as stuff that happened. How boring Hard
Knocks was, But that was part of the deal, right,
The Giants gave us a bunch of gold without anticipating
doing such a lot. Yeah, with the GM Joe Shane
and we've seen so much traffic and mileage out of
the Saquon Barkley infamous phone call with the Bears. It
(01:33):
was Matty Eberflu's his beard and his haircut, yeah, and
his wife fawning all over him, and everybody going, he's cute.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
He can't coach, and then he can't coach in the
final minutes of the game. Let's get it right, you
can't coach in the final minutes. That's what I reserved
my ability as a long suffering fan of said squad
to just say it overall because it's lack of preparation
and everything else. Don't forget that for just half of
(02:00):
that Bears Lions game.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh no, there is no they were, but that happens
to lots of teams.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But boy, really the end of games no and D,
the game situations down, distance, clock management, time out management,
all of that. I mean the week before Caleb Williams
made fun of him for burning a time out.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
The other story we got was DJ Morris contract, yeah right,
and his ability to go into an ice cream museum
with his family. That was great, yeah, but it was
it Other than that, we got another You made the
Bears boring. So now Hard Knots clearly feeling the pressure
to make this one this in season with the AFC
North a little bit more fun with a lot of
(02:37):
little more pizazz. Well, we got the Mike Tomlin shot
going into the locker room. Get this damn thing off me. Wait,
you were miked up. About a month ago, this story
broke that Warner Brothers was selling ten fully functional but
not street legal replicants of the Batmobile. Remember I tried
to do a crowd crowd sourcing and go fund yourself
(03:00):
here and we fell short. From the from the Batman trilogy,
from the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy, send fully functional but
not street legal replicants of the Batmobile for the low
price of three million dollars low one low price of
three million.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Three million dollars limited edition.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You're not gonna believe what Joe Burrow told Jamar Chase
on the first episode of Hard Knocks.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I told you up.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Did you get it yet?
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Though?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Right, I can't get it.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
For like a year, but I bought it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Great.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I think it'll be crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I think it'll be crazy. You got to go to
the advances Batman we had, yes, I think all he
bought the batmobile. Borrow bought one of the bat but
he gets.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
In a year, like come on, no, no, look, it's
a long lead, right, come on, man, I know, but
it's like anything, right, they have all sorts of like
on a much smaller scale, uh, lego.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Sets and all those things where it's like, all.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Right, we'll build it if so many people buy in, right,
will produce this? In other words, you fund us doing
the next stage, right of the actual prototypes, et cetera.
This was just conceptually, It's like, what if we put
it out there, would anybody buy them? Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
No, now we have to build them. I hope this
is Joe Burrow, who has been very smart with.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
His money, and not Joe Burrow, who, oh my goodness, dude,
you bought the batmobile. I'm hoping. It's hoping that. I
always hope when I hear so I act spending a
lot of money on things. I hope this is Hey,
I've been really smart and took care of money and
not in five years. It's dude, you bought the batmobile, Like,
what are you doing now? In the end there are
only ten of them. Now does that mean that it
doesn't mean you have to spend three million dollars on one,
(04:40):
But go ahead, help people spend their money. They spend
their money right, And I was just going to make
the argument of at three million dollars in five years,
assuming it's in good working still, what you get when
you want it, to deliver it and you're going to
take care of something you can?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I can I take it to target? Can? I know,
but a target and go in get what I'm You know,
it's not street legal. Whatever you can.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But you think you're not gonna make it street legal,
Come on, man, of course you're gonna make that. You're
gonna to retro fit the size and are if you've
got If you have three million dollars, you didn't buy
it to just have it sit there. You want to
drive that thing? Yeah, where you own land and Kentucky, Ohio.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Where people see you drive.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You want to take where no one's gonna see you
unless a spaceship comes out of nowhere's nobody that lives,
or the White Sox come out of a field, corn Fie,
Look at that dude's got the batmobile. Man, that's pretty cool.
He'll have plenty of ample opportunity. I bought Dark Night
number one when it came out for three cents from
DC Commas.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean, that's it.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
When we have the quote unquote street Legal. There's plenty
of things rolling around Los Angeles that I see at
night when we're driving home from the show. How many
cars do you think that go whizzing by you at night?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yet?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
But there's only one batmobile? Though there's only one batmobile? Well,
there's ten.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well, but okay, in any at any given time, there's
only gonna be I don't think there's gonna be a
bunch of one. Sound Effort had a bunch of batmobile.
Maybe he actually bought more than one. Anyway, the original
point is that there there's investment possibility here because there's
only ten. I'm gonna guess there's more than ten people
with three million to burn.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Oh he's gonna want a batmobile.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That batmobile be the TV show on Home and Garden Television.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
But your point was I'm worried about him and his money. One,
he's got two hundred and seventy five million dollars coming.
I hope he's good. That when he's good, three.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Million dollars is pocket change.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Well, he's good.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Flip that batmobile tree as long as he doesn't wreck it.
The best part of God's money is the in fact
that Chase asked him the real one.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
The real Well.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Might have been a documentary then Chase was watched like Jamar.
Chase lives in a world where Batman is real. I
know you mean bat Batman saves everybody, doesn't he He's
the He's the hero that Gotham deserves. Yeah, but don't
you kind of hope on some level there is a
Batman like figure out there looking after you. I would
hope so as I always look up and see if
Robert Pattinson is hanging out on top of a building
(06:55):
looking I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Emo Batman. Yeah he's looking down it.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay, he's actually in the tree outside your windows, and
that and that bass starts playing and all of a sudden,
it's Ravana singing to you. Uh so, Joe Burrow bought
the Batmore one of the batmobile.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I love Joe Burrow that much more.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Now do you think we're gonna get a movie or
some kind of show about the who's buying the batmobiles?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Look? The fantastic the selling of the batmobiles.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Sure when they come to claim them, maybe they come
over the Warner Brothers studios. Here, they've got a huge display. Uh,
there's my my little touristy kind of thing here. If
you haven't done it, it's fantastic because they got the
whole Harry Potter section and everything else.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And I know the London one. You've you've seen a
bunch of that. But all the Batman, you know, all
the old batmobiles and costumes and everything else. I mean
the Riddler costume is up for sale, the one that
Jim Carrey wore, so we can get that. I'd really
rather have the Gorshan with all the question marks on it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, does it stretch? I can wear that in the
studio all over it, I would hope so. But look,
I hope he takes the games. I wanted to pull
up out side and go here's getting at anytime soon, Jase.
Here's Burrow pulling up outside of brow ahead five. That's it. Yeah,
he's got to wait a year it again. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I mean, there's got there's gotta at least be some
kind of special when he goes to pick that up.
Who is is bail gonna be there? Killian Murphy?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Who I am?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I know you're Christian Bale, but I'm using my voice
to make you think.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
No, I know you're Bruce Way. I know you're Batman.
I can tell.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Does Michael Caine show up? You just guy the mask
shows up?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Oh yeah, yeah, Killian Murphy and the Scarecrow once he's
done with the peaky bleeping behind yours.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh listen, Joe, I gotta do your paperwork with the
Scarecrow and then uh, well we'll see.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
We'll see out here. You can think the man like you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I could use one of those in this extended universe.
Killian Murphy, Scarecrow.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Movie so already already better than the Bears. I like that.
That's all all you had to say, was Batman. You
had me. They could have showed a touchdown. It was
better than the Bears. Ah yeah. How much of the
defense did they show, though?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Because I think people wanted to turn away from that
horror film.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Not your father's Now speaking of defense.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
We had the big move today, the big announcement that
as He's al Shaher was suspended for three games for
his hit on Trevor Lawrence. Have we seen hits like
this on quarterbacks in the past, Yes, have we seen
suspensions like this?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Is this something that has deserved? Yeah, when you go
after a guy and you hit him with a forearm
and he goes down any postures right away, and you
know it's incredibly grave. You have to do something to
stop this from happening. So here's a three game suspension
for alsha Here. He's going to appeal it, but right
now it's three games. And when the dust is settled
with this story and obviously all best thoughts of Trevor
(09:41):
Lawrence as he recuperates from this, I can't help but
but just think this is the reason we're here is
because it's the NFL's fault.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
The NFL.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
This is kind of going back to I don't know
what a catch is, and how for five years we
didn't know in the NFL what a catch was because
every year it changed, and having control controlling the football
going through the end zone, not going through the end zone,
sosin Safarian Jigens and not complete the catch. And we
went through that for five years, and I'm sorry. But
when we go through for five years and players routinely
(10:11):
say I don't know what it catches, I don't get that.
That's on the NFL for not making it better. And
when I still see quarterbacks getting hit like this, this
is on the NFL for not making their hitting a
quarterback rule much more cut and dried and streamlined. Players
don't know where the line is. Sometimes that you can tell, Okay,
I hit the guy face mask to face mess. I wait,
(10:32):
but this time I had a perfect form tackle and
because I fell on top of them, that's a penalty.
And I don't know why. And when you when players
don't know how to play, they get pissed. And if
players don't know what's over the line, what's not over
the line, players are gonna go, well, I'm gonna do
what I do and if they give me a if
they give me a penalty or refine, I get a
penalty refine. But that's why we're at where we are
(10:53):
with these late hits on quarterbacks is because still we're
three four years into these new rules of what you
can and can't do to a quarterback, and still we
get routinely ridiculous calls of here's a roughing call on
Patrick Mahomes that I don't understand. Here's a call on
Jameis Winston last night that's missed. When when a defender
hit some face mask to face mask when another defender
(11:14):
already had him in the grasp. The NFL has got
to find a way to get a handle on this
whole situation. So everybody knows this is what's gonna get
you a penalty. This is not gonna get you penalty.
Don't get frustrated, don't get upset if this happens, it's
not a pen But because we still have this, and
we have officiating crews that call it however they feel
(11:36):
at that moment, and they miss calls or they don't
feel that him landing on top of a quarterback was,
but this guy landing on top of quarterback is, you're
just getting defensive players more upset and they're gonna continue
to do whatever they want to do because part of
it mentally is going to be, well, you're not helping me,
so screw you. If I'm gonna help you, I'm gonna
hit this quarterback. I'm gonna do it. If you want
to find me, go ahead and find me. The NFL
(11:56):
had fast to find a way at this point to
say this is what it's going to be and there's
gonna be no derivations from it. If you hit a
quarterback like this, it's a fine, it's a suspension, and
maybe we'll back off a little bit of landing on
the guy or some kind of ridiculous head on the football.
I always say that this is something that should be
done after the games are over and over the course
(12:17):
of the week. Right, you want to call the penalty,
but the whole big thing is, let's let's do all
the jurisprudence of it. Let let's take care of this
after the game is over and and have some kind
of some kind of jurisprudence decision where players are going
to stop doing this, We're going to stop seeing quarterbacks
get hit this way, and there's no and there's less
controversy over what a penalty is and what is it.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, I've thought it was.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Curious in the the aftermath. Right, Obviously, the finger wagging
from Demiko Ryan's rings hollow, especially when you get the
Greatest Hits collection of Al Shahir and his history.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
It's you know.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The idea of you play to the edge of what
you can, right, that's what makes you, uh the player
you are, and you're within the rules and you're right
at that edge and bending it. In this particular case,
the forearm coming down into his helmet. Yeah, egregious, next
level stuff. But you know, to take your first point
about the catch, we still don't know what a catch is.
(13:12):
In the middle of the field. Right now, we can
dot the sideline and get our feet down and then
fall out of bounce.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
But that's fine.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But if I catch the ball with get both feet
down and then I only take a half third step
and the ball comes free somehow, that's not a fumble.
I didn't make a full football move like, okay, then
why is it dead here?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Why is it dead here? Why? It makes no sense?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So that's still a problem what a catch or is
there isn't Tom Brady taken up for this other part
right when we're talking about quarterbacks and trying to get
through you watch the Bears Lions game. How many people
lost their mind over the Caleb Williams play when he
was running and then he stopped and then he got
run through and I was like, oh, that's.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
A dirty hit.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
It was like, no, he came back in the field
to play. He didn't step out of bounce. It's like
he went for the half assed mahomes, Oh, I'm going
to kind of go out of bounds. You're gonna stop
playing and then I'm gonna keep going for it. That's
the other part. There's gotta be an onus on the
offenses and quarterbacks for some responsibility.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
The slide is the best and the worst thing, because like,
well I'm free because I'm now sliding. It's like, well,
the guy's already moving into strike pos to come and
tear you apart, and now you make a half ass slide,
you know, the little odd two yard thing instead of
a full hey, I've given myself up kind of moment.
I mean, the game moves too fast, which means you're
(14:35):
gonna have too many impactful plays and big grave hits
to a quarterback like this. I did like that. Trevor
Lawrence or at least whoever was running his Twitter account,
showed hey, I'm okay by clapping back on people that
were coming at him on Twitter. So at least we
got a little bit of snark coming out of it.
But to your point, Yeah, they've got a long way
(14:56):
to go to resolve this one exit. How about a
Fresco at Swollen Dome. Ja Smith Mike Harmon live from
the Tireck dot Com Studios. Coming up next, our most
trusted college football insider stops by his thoughts on the
next to last playoff pool? Is Alabama really deservedly ranked
ahead of Miami?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
That and more coming up next right here, Jason, I'm
like Fox.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
They should release the college football Playoff Final Playoff poll
to this song, and let's get a look and see
where the final seedings are. People representing the last teams
on the bubble, and one of them has the football
taken away when they go to kick it.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
And like they dance on like snoopy, Hey, look who's
dancing on? Oh it's Alabama. Who's not dancing on? All Miami?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So college football to last Playoff Paul is out. This
tells you exactly what the committee thinks of where the
team should be seated, and they have said that for
Alabama and for Miami, which is where the crux of
the controversy lies. At Alabama being ranked ahead of Miami,
neither of them will lose their standing going into next week.
(16:19):
So you're not gonna see Miami leap ahead of Alabama,
which means you're gonna see Miami home for the college
football playoff. Syracuse killed Miami.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Did the committee get it right? Joining us now on
the hot line.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Nobody better than the owner, editor, proprietor Grand Pooba of
college Footballnews dot com. You're one stop shopping for college football,
all the picks, all the prognostications, all the analysis could
possibly want. He's on Twitter at Pete Feutach. It is
Pete Futack.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
What's happening, Bud can? I?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Well, now I'm gonna give you my hot my unpopular
hot takes. That Charlie Brown music puts me in a
horrible mood. There's so mean to him. That's the Kids
show ever, because they're just ruthlessly cruel to this poor kid.
I've just I never I never understood it as a kid,
I get it less now as an adult, and I
(17:11):
admit I am a lonely man on this one.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
So what you're saying is that poor kid is Miami.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Pretty much or s m U or South Carolina or
actually that poor kid right now in Ohio State fan,
you're god, oh the whining, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Ohio State could win the national title. Peton fans are
going this year was a failure, this failure.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
You're you're you're not joking. I cannot take it anymore.
You want that with the whiniest Oh, oh my god,
I'm gonna get a mean text from Bill and Accounting.
Now he's got Michigan. Like it's, oh, I mean seriously, like,
you know, suck it up, Buttercup, you're playing for the
NA got the best team, You're gonna probably play for
the national title. And it's like, you're right, You're exactly right.
(18:02):
I don't care. We want to Michigan. Let's get over it.
Like I don't know. I get the rivalry thing, of course,
but like I don't know, come on, it's a game.
You're gonna just go win, go win something bigger than this.
So but yes, but I digress.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
All right, So so let's start here with the controversy
surrounding Alabama ahead of Miami.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Uh, Whearry, do you like this? Do you agree? Do
you disagree? Where are you? I?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Well, I don't kind of get the Miami part of this.
The bigger one is the SMU. If they lose to Clemson,
and because it's pretty cut and dry, SMU beat Clemson,
then we're we're all pretty good. The problem with Miami
is where's your win? You know, where's the where's the
one w that's out there that you can say, oh yeah,
Miami beat this team and you know they're just it
(18:51):
doesn't exist. Well, it's an easy thing for the committee
to to justify. And this is the you know, for
South Carolina, for old myths, for all these teams they're
gonna they can be able to say, look, Clinton, you know,
got housed, buy Georgia, Alabama beat Georgia, South Carolina beat Clemson. Well,
Alabama beat Clemson or beata South Carolina. So like they've
(19:13):
got a couple of decent wins. I don't get it.
I think that lost to Oklahoma is a disqualifier at
this point. But apparently you know, the committee, like I
told you guys before, I've seen it it's over there
in the corner. There's a little in case of emergency,
break glass and pull out Alabama and there you go,
so that they're just gonna go with Alabama and just say,
well they you know, they beat Georgia.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
So did you think Syracuse would be the thing to
upset the Apple Card?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I mean they would, Yeah, cold you last week, I
think I think it's on I've got to be on
tape somewhere right now.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You're on tape, but you're on Twitter lamenting their early struggles.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It was when it was.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Twenty one nothing, when Miami's up twenty one nothing, Pete Texan, ut,
hey my thoughts that Syracuse.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Are gonna give Miami a game today? Yeah, I'm sorry
about that.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
And then I was like therefully, yes, yeah, but you
spurred them onto greatness thereafter.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I did, I jumped back on my own bandwagon there no, yeah,
but that that was one of those things that we
discussed this and Syracuse is going to go Syracuse. You
know that was going to kind of happen. You know,
you've got you know, the two number one passing the country,
number two. Those guys are going to bomb away. And
so it certainly did happen. But that's that's certainly changed
up everything because Syracuse doesn't do that. Then all of
(20:27):
a sudden, this weekend becomes Miami and SMU and it's
a completely different discussion.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
So we talked about where the the changes to this
are likely going to come after this season, and the
first one I can say, Pete, that I'm pretty positive
about is that there's going to be a rule put
in that, Okay, the top four the conference champions are
all going to get in, but they're not going to
be guaranteed to be the top four seeds because you
keep looking at Boise State being number four. That's going
(20:53):
to piss off so many people, and it's going to
be hey, you'll get in, you're guaranteed to get in,
but you're not just going to get one of the
four seeds because you're a mid major conference.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Or about Clemson against the four you know, right because
right now as we're talking, that's kind of the problem
is that, you know, the Big Twelve champion first of all,
the Big twelve losers out and the Big twelve champion.
If UNLV and Clemson win, the Big Twelve champion might
be the three you know, so I mean like it's
it's a little too quirky in that way. You do
(21:23):
have to give something. You have to throw the throw
a cookie to the champions for something. The reason why
I do sort of get the putting the conference champion
in the four at least for now, is that the
reward is you get that extra week off and that
you won your conference championship and instead of you know, okay,
(21:43):
well now you've got to go play an extra game,
you get a buy and so you get to miss
that one extra thing, so that I get at the reward.
The big loser in this is, you know, Penn State.
Like for all the things I joke about with Ohio State,
it's my second unpopular take on this thing is that
you know what, losing to Michigan, they actually catch a break,
(22:03):
get three weeks off. Yeah, they get time, they get
time off, they probably get them, but they're probably gonna
get like Indiana, okay or something like Okay, they're gonna
beat Indiana. They get a pretty easy first round matchup
at home. And if you look at how the bracket happened,
that's three and four seed. How it shakes out being
seven or six or seven.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Not too bad, breaking down the playoffs from a different angle,
making Ohio State fans feel maybe slightly better here today out.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Not even a little bit, not even a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I didn't say you were trying to just saying maybe
that was it the silver lining.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Not even a little bit. No, no, no, mister power,
not even a little bit. No, it's Pete.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Few Tech College Football News is where you find in
college Footballnews dot Com at pe FU Tech in the
Twitter verse, Jason Smith Show with me Mike Harmon here
Fox Sports Radio, as we talk all things college football.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
We'd be remiss, Peat.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I mean, the rankings are are exciting, but you know
they're secondary to all the chaos and hand ringing coming
out of the flag.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Do we have to put gait on it isn't that in.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
This process with the number of flag incidences over the
weekend and hand ringing that came out of it, the
sky's falling, Pete.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The whole world's going to hell.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Here's my thing. If you're if the opposing team can
figure out how to plant a flag into field turf,
you tip your cap, you say you are the better team.
That's you know, they just move along. It's ridiculous. I mean,
come on, like you just played each other. I mean
it's like, oh gosh, look they're pushing and shoving each
(23:37):
other's football players.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
That's what they do.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Like, it's like it's just and they bring out the
Pepper experience that just do Texas and Texas A and
M did it right. The security came out and they
stood on the logo and they're like, no, we're not
doing this. So Kesy and took these guys like, uh uh,
we're not. We're not you know, being those guys just
you do that. But I guess like, oh no, wow,
reallyal House State, your feelings are hurt. Now, okay, I
(24:02):
guess goes along with it. But it's all silly. I
get just don't do it. It's class if it's silly.
But if someone tries to do that, just accept that
they're you know, ridiculous, and good luck planting that flag
into the field turf.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Well, I think that's I think.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Look, I think it's pretty easy to think that that's
going to get out lawed in the offseason. Somehow college
football will come together and say, okay, no more flag planting.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
We don't want that. I can't see that being actually
allowed next year.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Yeah, you cant do something. I mean that, that's it.
Just it's a bad look. It just leads to worse things.
But obviously everyone's emotions are high right after the game,
and just whatever you have to do to get those
teams away from each other after a game, just do it,
especially a game like that.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
All right now, I want to throw something a little
bit radical at you here with what's going on with
the playoff poll going into the final week of the
season starting next year, the if you make the championship
game in your conference, you qualify for the playoff. Because
I look at a team like SMU that look they
should be they should be Clemson. I mean when you
(25:04):
lose to Syracuse round. But if you're SMU and you
lose to Clemson, right, you made it to your conference
championship game. Now suddenly it's gonna be well, who do
we take a two loss SMU team or a three
loss Alabama team? And SMU gets penalized because they went
further than Alabama because they made their conference championship game
(25:24):
and they played and they lost, compared to Alabama who
couldn't make it and didn't win. I think there's got
to be something for making the conference championship game and
getting it. You know, your scene is wherever it's going
to be, and obviously the winner is going to be
seated higher. But if you make the conference championship game,
I think you kind.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Of have to get in.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Here's the problem with that. It's not fair if you
play a tougher schedule, and if you look at like
my example right now has been the whole idea. Oh,
you can't punish a team for a loss. Texas A
and M just lost to number two Texas and they
went from twenty to out. And if you look at
Texas A and M, they've got to win over Florida,
(26:01):
they got to win over LSU.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
They have a win over.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Number nineteen Missouri. That's a better win than anything Penn State,
Notre Dame. I know, they beat A and M right
on down lay Indiana. You know, like like nineteen of
the team, Texas A and M is a better win
than most of the teams in the top twenty five.
Like if you played a brutal schedule, it's kind of
(26:23):
not fair, and you're supposed to be able to say,
you know what you guys played. You know, the number
one five and ten teams and you lost to them.
We can't really and you're not in the championship, we
can't really punish you for that. While SMU plays you know,
Virginia and you know Wake Forest, it's just not quite
the same.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
All right, let me ask one last question coming out
of Michigan Ohio State back to the football side of it.
Offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell gets fired by Michigan one. Was
it the incoming underwood that sealed it? You know, as
a quarterback watching the offense, I mean they got a
hamstrung and without a quarterback here.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Pete, I think it's ridiculous that Curtis Rourke was not
the Michigan quarterback. Like, you're Michigan, how do you not
go into the season with a you know, one of
the top you know, transfer possibilities at quarterback there? And
you know, thank your lucky stars that you know what
was the one thing Ohio State could do to lose
that game? It's the punch down and say, hey, you
(27:21):
know what, that team on the other side, they can't
throw or complete a downfield pass and their secondary is
completely depleted. So you know what, We're going to run
the ball into the middle of the line, and you know,
twenty four times, it's like the fewest carries since like
twenty eighteen. We're gonna run it. We're just gonna kind
of forget to throw the ball and we're going to
(27:42):
just rely on our defense and field goals and oops,
there are two chip shot field goals missed. He kicked
them straight. They win sixteen thirteen and get out of there.
Doesn't work. They lose. And now everyone said.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That is at and everyone said, check out college footballnews
dot com, all the analysis, all the previous predictions for
conference championship weekend. Again college Footballnews dot com. He's got
all the picks himself. He's got all the previews himself.
Pete is always money appreciated. Man, we'll talk to you.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I thought you got quite Syracuse and Michigan can't play
for the national championship.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
But okay, dude, if syric is, if we had just
beaten either Boston College or Stanford, we'd be on the
cusp of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, if I were.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Five inches taller, blah blah blah. Yeah, but that game
we lost, like we got killed. That game.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
We should have been Stanford End or Boston College. But
we killed Miami, so it's.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Killed.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He showed up all so he had the one bad
game against Look, I led thee but that one bad game.
If you're gonna do the well, if we've done that,
well that was him.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
But a lokay. So I'll take eleven and one. Can
we be in the playoff? Man Syracuse in the playoff? No?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I know 're not. And that's the sad part. That's
not how it works. Is this the best it's gonna be?
Because boy, we had Kyle mccordiny was awesome.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
This is good as just credit good.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Another guy who asked himself every day, is this as
good as it's gonna get? Is Steve Desager as he
tells us what's trending right now in the wide world
of sport?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
And then I work on this show anyway? Sure? Wow?
Speaker 5 (29:16):
This Friday on Fox TV, number ten, Boise State hosts
number twenty UNLV in the Mountain West Championship game sorry
eight pm Eastern Time on Friday. The final playoff bracket
will be announced this Sunday and the bowl matchups. Oregon
is still number one in the new college football playoff rankings.
Texas is now number two. Penn State is number three.
(29:37):
Notre Dame is number four, but it cannot get a
first round by because as an independent, it cannot be
a conference champion. SMU number eight could be a conference
champion this weekend. Boise State, for that matter, could be
as well and get a first round by. In fact,
Boise State currently is ranked higher than any Big twelve
conference team Arizona State number fifteen. Ohio State fell to
(29:58):
number six tonight, Alabama number ver eleven. Miami's down to
number twelve, so Bama could be the last team in
while the Caynes might just miss the college football playoff.
Michigan fired offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell to the NBA Scoreboard,
We've got games going on, only three of them.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Late night one in LA halftime.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Clippers over the Blazers sixty three fifty eight. At Denver
it's the Nuggets seventy three seventy one over Golden State
mid third quarter, and at Sacramento mid third Kings up
seventy six sixty four over Houston. Earlier, Dallas won its
fifth straight game, beating Memphis one twenty one one sixteen,
LUKA donsich thirty seven points. Oklahoma City dominated Utah one
(30:39):
thirty three one oh six. Jazz have lost five straight
Utah with twenty nine turnovers, wins for Phoenix and Toronto,
wins for New York and Philadelphia, which won at Charlotte
one ten one oh four. Hornets have lost six straight.
Paul George twenty nine points and eight assists. Milwaukee won
at seventh straight and Cleveland pounded Washington. The Wizards have
lost fifteen in a row. In college basketball, right now,
(31:01):
about three minutes to go at Clemson, Tigers still ahead
of number four Kentucky sixty six sixty third ranked Tennessee
still undefeated, pounded Syracuse ninety six to seventy. Michigan won
at number eleven Wisconsin sixty seven sixty four, and on
FS one earlier, Villanova at home defeated number fourteen Cincinnati
sixty eight to sixty. The Red Sox are signing reliever
(31:23):
Eraaldus Chapman, who turns thirty seven in February. In the NHL,
Colorado trailed four to nothing after the first twelve minutes,
still won five to four at Buffalo, the Sabers first
ever home loss after leading the game by four. In fact,
the folks in stats Ink said the Sabers are the
first team in the history of the NHL to jump
(31:44):
out to a four goal lead in the first fifteen
minutes of a home game and then go scoreless the
rest of the way and end up losing. And US
women's soccer won today two to one at the Netherlands
in its final exhibition of the year, despite being outshot
twenty two to five. If at cornerkicks were nine to
nothing Netherlands in this one, but the same Dutch defender
who had scored early in the first half headed in
(32:05):
an old goal for the US late in the first half.
The Americans last Saturday had had a zero zero tie
at England seventy eight thousand fans at Wembley Stadium for
that one. The Americans finish out the year with a
record of eighteen to one with four draws, undefeated in
matches outside the country, and in fact, the US is
unbeaten in twenty straight dating back to a loss in February,
(32:27):
and I must mention with the new coach, Emma Hayes,
the US had only trailed once in fifteen matches until
today and sort of.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Sort of apropos that we get out shot like that
in the game, and today was the last game for
a listenaire who caps her illustrious career two World Cups
and a gold medal.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Wait a minute, you really don't want to keep playing?
You're sure, you're sure?
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Can you please belie about a decade as the USA
goalkeeper and winds up getting the W and earned it.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
They really needed her.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
It is rare that you see the women's team just
being completely outclassed on the field, outdone, were dominated in
the first half of this one.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Then still the triplets didn't play. I mean that they are.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
They are whatever you want to say about the US
women's national team. They are built on Swanson and Rod
and now they're they're built on the three of them
for the next two World Cups.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Sophie Smith, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Triplets are the ones watching those free runs down the
down the lanes.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Yeah. Defensively, man, that was a lot of space.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
It could have been at least three nothing deficit at
one point late first half.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
We'll get to Lindsay Horan and Rose level the later day. Well,
we'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Thank you to The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon,
live from the Tirerack dot Com studios coming up next.
If you thought Juan Soto potentially signing the next couple
of days is the biggest baseball story of the night.
Way do we tell you about a change that could
be coming to the game. It's insanely good.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
That's next. Fox.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It is The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon live from the tire rack dot Com studios.
And outside of Juan Soto potentially signing sometime in the
next few days, got the big story earlier today from
Baseball that he could sign before the Winter Meetings even
start at the latest when they end next Thursday. So
our long national nightmare might be over. Wan Sota might
(34:26):
be picking a team soon.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's not evenna get me through the advent calendar.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
No, come on, he's you gonna put up your diehard
advent calendar and Hans Gruber is gonna be falling down
to me.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
He'll be midway falling and Wan Sota will have a team.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Think about that the beginning and Alan Rickman, there's been
a deal.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
In place for weeks. Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, I'm sure Dodger,
Yeah yeah, the Mets, they're waiting.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
See the only team dumb enough to give him six
hundred millions. Okay, we're put fifty million dollars at the
end of that, and we're gonna get him. But another
story tonight, which I know that baseball purists are gonna
hate this, and I get it, but understand that sports
need to roll with the times and need to change,
and baseball has always been a sport that has changed
(35:10):
the slowest. You could still look at a baseball game
from the early nineteen hundreds and it looks like a
baseball game. Like you watch a football game or a
basketball game for the early nineteen you go, what the
hell kind of sport is this? Well, it just sped
up baseball game. It's like, you know, the Babe Ruth
running around the bases. He's at the speed that guy's run. Now,
Baseball's timelessness is what it has. It's always leaned back
(35:31):
on that, but even the sport understands we need to
go forward and make changes as reticent as Bud sealing was. Okay,
let's add a wild card. Fine, Oh wow, look people
actually like that. According to Rob Manfred, and this is
a story that Jason Stark MLB long time LB insider
talked about on his podcast Baseball Says, and I say basely.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Rob Manford says, there is.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Growing buzz for a rule change that could institute the
golden at bat. The golden not the golden sombrero, the
golden at bat, meaning that once per game, a team
can put anybody they want up to face a pitcher
for one at bet anytime during the game. Baseball looking
(36:17):
at the fact that, hey, we want our best players
to get more publicity. This hearkens back to Mike Trout
facing Sho Hao Tani the World Baseball Classic. Let's find
a way to make some crazy drama at the end
of a game even more instead of Hey, the Mets
will be able to put Francisco Landor up instead of
Jesse Winker, you know, something like that. And people hate
(36:39):
Jason's value, Like, I know, baseball purists are gonna hate this,
but this is an unbelievably good idea. It's not fair
for pictures because they go, okay, get to the bottom
of Oh no, you're gonna have Otani coming up. But
then again, I'll go Eddie Seacott from from Eight Men
Out when he said things are always hard on pitchers. Uh,
this is an incredible idea. It's an amazing bit of
(37:01):
drama and strategy when you know, once a game you
can put up anybody from your team, anybody from your
lineup up at bat for one at that could be
the ninth inning of a game, could be in a
high leverage situation, bases loaded, nobody else out of the
ninth hitter coming up. You have the number one hitter
coming up, and then he'd be able to hit again.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Let just think about that, like you had Otani and
then you know hitting ninth is Chris Taylor and the
bases loaded the seventh inning against the Padres, and Otani
bats ninth, and then he bats again right like he
can bat ninth, and then he can bat again right
right away because he's batting first in the batting order.
Like this is this is a real outside the box
rule change. But I can see how this is going
(37:43):
to be received by fans and just running to the television. Oh,
you're gonna get Otani and Diaz or whatever it's gonna do.
You're gonna get Bryce Harper and Devin Williams, whatever it's
gonna be, and all of a sudden, here's a huge
made for TV moment. No, I can see how this
is going to be something that fans are gonna go No, no, no,
oh no.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I really like this. I really like this.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
I still have issues with a lot of the other
stuff they've done, ghost runners, banning, the shift, all of
those things.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
The pitch clock, I still have some issues with it.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
They've all worked, though they've all worked, they've all worked.
The baseball is continuing to draw.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
But here here it is, as I'm sitting here behind
the microphone, this is about my thought and I don't
like it. Now, will it probably happen?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Sure? Okay?
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Because of Drop Manford at this point, he's desperate to
have something other than the pace of play be his legacy.
There's a lot of logistical things that have to happen.
So if I'm say, oh, Tony's just the obvious guy
that we use, let's just say Ronald Lacuna Junior comes
back and he's on second base, does he get the
bat if you still have the golden at bat, so
(38:50):
now there's a pitch runner, or does that preclude it
from doing so, since he's already bad at and he's
on bab pitch running ghost Runner, Real ghost Runner, Real
ghost Runner ghost Runner at first.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Now I'm gonna bat and I'm gonna done, or I
strike out and I say, ah, pull it out the flag.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
I want a duo.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I want to hit again.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I'm gonna hit again. I think I got a beat
on him after that tenth and tenth pitch of that
it back.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Obviously, there's gonna be a little bit of a ways
to try to figure out the best way to incorporate this.
The Savannah Bannon Bananas already do this. Is that why
Rob Banford's on board because he sees them selling out stadium? Dude, dude, wait, wait,
do you see how many Savannah Banana ideas get incorporated
in the.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Next ten years? Right when you take him out, you
have to dance.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
You just wait, everybody's gotta do the electric spide Hey,
short stop you two baseball in twenty thirty four. It's
gonna be one big Banana's game.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
It's what it's gonna be. Top to them on the
real question coming off this is I think Roger Clemens
asked it today on Twitter. Okay, he's not gonna have
to come back. Tony strikes out right to you in
the inning. Can he come back up again? No, that's
what I mean from the spot in the batting order.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yeah, Like if you move Otawny and he's hitting ninth,
by batting for something, he strikes out to end the inning,
he leads off the next thing because he hits first
in the batting order.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Yeah, so he just goes back to the spot. If
he's the second out, can he be up again? Yeah?
If it's it's late, No, No, not if you're like
he can like if he moved to eight, you said
it at any time? A yeah, but it's one time.
You get to do it one time in the game.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
We'll have more in this coming.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I mean, look, this would just be I could see
how fans would just love this. That and a big
story out of college football next
