Let's give this you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome in side Happy Wednesday, The Jason Smith Show
with my bas friend Mike Harmon.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Well Dressed Hobot.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Tonight's show live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. This
hour brought to you bi ti Iraq. For over forty years,
tire Rack's been open. Customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, shipped fast and free, backed
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation. Tirerac dot Com is the way tire
buying should be. Well, I mean, I feel like it's

(01:00):
a it's a big it's a Burger Wednesday here on
the show. Because there's there's a we have a double
barrel of burger stories. Come in your way, and let's
start with the big one in Major League Baseball before
what happened to me about twenty five minutes ago. Okay, yeah,
so first, because you know, one burger leads to another burger, right, so.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Look, you just have one. It's like a potato chip.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
The Brewers have been the best story in Major League Baseball.
They've been the best team in Major League Baseball. You
can argue they are the best team in Major League Baseball.
They've been red hot, they sweep the Mets, they continue
on that momentum, and today they won their twelfth consecutive
game in a row. But this is big because one
time everybody is a Brewers fan. This is how it ended,

(01:47):
and you get a little hint as to why today
was such a big win from Milwaukee.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Meyer's out of the stretch, the pitch kind.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Of swinging a mess.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
He struck them out.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Would you like frize with that twelve in a roll
for there?

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Ooh, twelve to five your final The Brewers with their
second longest winning streak in the regular season in franchise history.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
So there was Brewers TV on the call. Local restaurant
chain George Webb with two b's like Spudweb, except George
Web has been promising free burgers for decades depending on
the win streak from Milwaukee Brewers. Now. When they first
were home to the minor League Brewers of the Old
American Association, it was they had to win seventeen games

(02:30):
in a row for the entire city to get free burgers. Well,
they dropped the promotion in years since, and since the
Milwaukee Brewers they dropped it to twelve. This is now
the third time in the last forty years that the
entire city of Milwaukee has won free Hamburgers or some
kind of burgers from local restaurant chain George Web Free

(02:52):
for the entire city, not like hey, if you have
tickets to a game, it's hey, it's free tacos, like
when the Lakers hold a team under one hundred points.
This is the entire hire city somehow gets free burgers.
I don't I don't know how you pull this off.
How did Like I would walk into a bunch of
different by yeah, hey, I gotta get my burger to
get my burger, to get my burger, and my burger,
Like can you even say it's gonna be between nine

(03:14):
and five on this day? Because while I live in
the city, you promise me your free burger. I got
to get one, right, Like what if I couldn't make
it between nine and five? Like, how do you pull
something like this off to give entire to give free
burgers to an entire city? Do you have like a
burger drop? Do you have like somebody but you know,
an airplane just dropping burgers out going? Hey, free burgers here?
It is to Georgia web burgers. I don't know how
you pull this off, Mike.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Like the Joker dropping dimes on the city of Gotham
from a balloon. I don't know. And they said one
hundred and seventy thousand burgers were given away back in
eighty seven when it happened. I don't have a count
from twenty eighteen. I didn't see anything adjusted to that.
But let's think about the cost per burger for the
ingredients and the prep time, right, I don't know, because

(03:56):
out here you make twenty one twenty two bucks an
hour slinging it in and out. Sure, I don't know
that you have that same thing in Milwaukee. So maybe
your your cost well.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
That's cost of living. It's a bigger things living, but.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Just going to the larger scale of it, It's kind
of like the steal a base promotion in the World Series, right,
Taco Bell, do you really just go there most people
for a taco. No, all of a sudden, it's like,
I'll need that meal, that meal. Give me a twelve
pack of tacos and a large diet soda, and I
think the good.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Folks and a diet soda. Give me three burgers and
a twelve pack of tacos. You know, I had a
diet because you know, I can't have all that sugar, right, Well, that.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Was the There was a refrigerator Perry bit for an
ad he did for McDonald's in Chicago all those years ago. Oh,
and a diet coke. But we look at it, you
know from this perspective. You know when they had the
the World Series stolen base, right, you didn't do that,
And I think they're probably banking on the same thing here.
I don't know what the cost of a meal is

(04:55):
at good old George Webb. I'm trying to do that
on the fly to talk about it. But it's good publicity, right,
It's a lot of free advertising. We're starting the show
with it to celebrate, Yeah, people getting to getting their
Gluttony on early So because frankly, had you ever heard
of George Webb?

Speaker 1 (05:11):
No, if you said George Webb, I would say, Okay.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
He was a character actor in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
He was a running back for Tennessee in the late seventies. Like,
I know George, I don't know George. Is that Spud
Webb's real name?

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Like?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh, that could be Spud Webb's real name. Okay, I
like George, I didn't know like George Webb. Okay, I
got a.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
George Webb who was a British actor.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
He all known for the show Keeping Up Appearances, the
Wednesday play in Mogul Okay, No, and he was on
mister Bean as the head master.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Less people know that than no George Webbin. But everybody
knows George web and Milwaukee. Everybody. Everybody getting free burger tonight? Right.
Brandon Woodruff, who started the game tonight, said he felt
extra pressure because he said, quote, who doesn't want a
free burger? I wanted to win those burgers bad now
he never he never has to pay for a burger
again in the city of Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
On the their official website, they say in twenty eighteen, uh,
they gave away ninety thousand free burgers and a hundred
thousand vouchers.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Okay, all right, so okay, then all right, that's okay,
all right, So that's the.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Mascot, all right. I could get behind this mascot though,
giant burger head on the guy, okay as much.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Now this gets me to my burger story with which
with this happened right before I got to work, and
I'm pretty sure I did the right thing. But I
want to tell you what happened, and and you tell
me if I did the right thing, because it was
really weird. So I go to McDonald's, right, I go
to McDonald's and I eat in the I eat in
the uh in the in the restaurant because I you know,

(06:46):
I take the bread off, right, I just have the
burger and stuff and I have the bread, so it's
it's kind of mess. I'm like, oh, you know, I'm
gonna eat in the restaurant. So I eat in the
restaurant and I sit down and across from me, there's
a couple that that's having this argument right this this
this man and this woman and probably in their early
to mid thirties. I would say they're having this argument
and they're going back and forth with each other, and
I'm going, wow, this is kind of weird, and I

(07:06):
kind of want to eat my food and leave because
they're arguing and uh, you know, it's it's just relationship stuff,
back and forth. I'm going, okay, And then I get
up to Lacord. Yeah, yeah, I say, look at this,
this is what happened to McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Right.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
So I'm getting up to leave and I throw my
food away and there's not a lot of people in McDonald's, right,
there's not. It's kind of a weird time, right, like
like six thirty at night, like you know, the dinner
rush is already done, okay, so there's maybe like one
or two other people and it's a big eat in area, right,
So like I'm the only one that sees and and
kind of see what's going on here. So everything seems okay.

(07:39):
They're you know, they're arguing about stuff, and I'm just
I'm going, all right, I want to get up and
go now because it's a little weird and it's not
out of control. It's not any it's not it's not
anything crazy. And then I get to throw my stuff
away and I hear a slam, and I hear the
uh and and I think it was the guy who
slammed his trade down.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
UH.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
He was like and like in the middle of their arguments,
and that's what it sounded like. And I'm like, okay,
that's a little weird now. So I'm like, what do
I do? So I go, okay, I can't just leave, right,
I mean, these people are I mean, like, I don't
want to jump in, but I want people to know that, hey,
this this is something that could be going on. But
I don't want to walk up and say it right
to the right, to the people in front of the

(08:19):
uh in the front of the store, because it would
seem pretty weird. And also, now that McDonald's has this
UH you know, you order at the kiosk, they don't
have employees and people in front of the cash registers
a lot anymore. So there's nobody there and there's like
one person waiting in line. I'm like, what do I do?
I gotta do something. I go okay, So I think
this is a good idea. So I leave and I
walk all the way around to the to the driving window,

(08:42):
and I'm like, you know, that's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna tell the person to drive in through window.
What's going on. So I'm walking around the window, and
I'm walking around to the side of the McDonald's and
I got two drinks in each I got a drink
in each other. I got my my die coke and
I have I have my amocha. So I'm walking towards
there and this guy is is pulling up to the
to the so I'm like, okay, and I go and
I go, hey, sorry, I just want to get him

(09:03):
emotion like I want to talk to me. Goes, yeah sure,
and I'm sure he's thinking I got the wrong order.
I'm coming back, because yeah, yeah, no problem, no problem.
So I get up, I get up close to the
window and I wait and and I you know, people
are inside and I and I get my head real
close and I say excuse me. And right when I
say excuse me, the woman working the drive through window,
you know, puts her head out to talk to the

(09:24):
guy coming up. And I go, excuse me, and she's
right there and she goes and she screamed, and I go,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I go, I'm sorry.
Everything's fine. I was just eating in there in the
restaurant there, and I could tell she's looking at me,
and she's like panting, and I'm going, oh, this is
I got I got to take the temperature down. I go, sorry,
I just everything's fine. I go. I just was eating

(09:44):
in here and there's a couple in the back that
we're arguing about something, and it seemed like everything is okay.
But I think the guy slammed his his tray on
the table a little bit. I just wanted to kind
of make you wear that. She was, yeah, okay, okay, okay,
thank you, yes, okay, thank you, thank you guys. Okay,
I'm just gonna leave. I I just want I didn't
want to walk to the front because there was kind
of nobody there. It's like yeah, nope, no, thank you,

(10:06):
thank you. And this is a young this is I mean,
she's got to be in her early twenties. Like she's
like she's so flipped out. I'm like, I can't believe
I'm the only person to come up to the back
to the window. Like they tell people to pull up
all the time, say okay, just pull up right here,
we'll bring out your fruit to you in a second.
Because it's not ready. And so I said, okay, great,
and I backway. I look at the guy, I go,
thank you' yeah, no problem, no problem? Is everything okay?
Go yeah, yeah, everything's fine. So I walk away and

(10:26):
I'm going, huh, I thought I did the right thing.
I said there, and then I told this story to
Monsey and Brianna before I come on the air, and
Moncie goes, oh, you didn't do that, and I go,
what what?

Speaker 4 (10:36):
What's Oh?

Speaker 1 (10:36):
You scared the hell out of her. I said, yeah,
but I had to say something because I didn't want
to leave and not make people aware that hey, you know, hey,
there could be a situation coming up here. So I'm like,
I feel like I did the right thing, even though
I kind of, you know, I kind of wound my
way around to do it, But I still feel like
I did the right thing.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yeah, if you'd gotten in your car, drive around whatever, cool.
The walk up has got to be very disconcerting, But
in the end, you were trying to do the right thing,
and sometimes we make missteps while we're trying to do
the right thing.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Well, you think I missed Dept. No, you just said
everybody tried to do the right thing. Sometimes we misstep
making it. I mean I missed that.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
No, I'm saying from her perspective, okay, or others who
judged you, okay, ladies, that that you you were trying
to do the right thing because you were worried that
this was going to escalate and suddenly that tray wasn't
just hitting that table, that maybe there was a little
more anger to come through it. So, yeah, you tried

(11:37):
to be a good guy. Now you could have gone
the next level and perhaps put yourself in harm's way
to where you know, you stood tall, you know, you
pulled up your bootstraps and said, is everything okay here?
But no, you didn't do that.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Well, that's the thing, is like this is it wasn't
something that escalated. It was it was a disagreement. And
but hearing the trace, I'm like, okay, now now I
kind of felt like I have to say something there.
I don't want to look up and go, hey, listen,
you two should not be together, all right, Just yeah,
you guys need to walk away. You need to go. Hey,
you go to the blue corner, you go to the
red corner, and then instead of coming back out, just leave,

(12:13):
just leave the ring and go like you two should
not be together like this.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
It could have gone as not so much, should have
phil voice, put on a fake mustache and stuff.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
I'm hearing a lot of we go on, but I'm
not here.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
We did.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I don't know what say here. I think there's a
situation going on here. I don't understand. I don't understand
what's going on. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
I will say this and doing a little more investigation
of the George Web chain, I think their menu is
longer than the cheesecake Factory.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Wow, it's that Wow, it's that see. I figured it's
kind of like the menu like my cousin Vinnie. I
think we'll have the breakfast where this is breakfast or
lunch like real.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Burgers and all sorts of breakfast items. The drink menu,
it's a long scroll. You got chili chili to go,
quarts of chili to go, soup, Wow, all kinds of
omelets and breakfasts and whatever else. But I scroll all
the way down past the cheesecakes and everything else. You
can get seven burgers. And this is where it comes
back to the promotion. You know how much seven cheeseburgers

(13:09):
and a bag cost you.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Oh well, seven white Castle burgers will run me about
a little bit less than twenty.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Bucks, So twenty dollars and thirteen cents.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Really these are regularly is this white Castle burgers?

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Are they not? They're just it says seven cheeseburgers. Okay,
see a differential between as a burger. So I must
you know, that's just implied. And if I knew, you know,
the chain, perhaps that's that would get me there. But
this is where I was getting into the I don't
think one burger's getting it done kind of thing in
this promotion. While it's a good faith effort and a

(13:45):
good gesture, again like potato chips, you can't eat just.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, I mean, if you're giving away mini burger, it's
a it's a it's a mini burger, Like if you're
giving away a mini burger to people like, oh okay,
it's a mini burger.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
But I don't see anything on here that distinguishes between them, right, Okay,
how big the paddy is?

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh okay, all right?

Speaker 4 (14:02):
Like it doesn't say, hey, eight ounce up here pre
cooking weight versus four ounce down here.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Okay, I got nothing? Is it time for a new job?
That It's time for Express Employment professionals. Quit the endless
online job search and list the pros and Express never
charges job seekers a fee. Go to expresspros dot com.
That's expresspros dot com. Well, well, I'm watching the Mets
blow with six nothing leading the fourth inning. Coming up next,
we have another big quarterback story out of the NFL.

(14:30):
Another injury update. You're not gonna believe it, but it's happening.
That's next. Right here. Now, thing's broke. Now, thing's broke.
That's next, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
This is Jay.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
I'm the producer of the Paul an Toni Fusco Show.
Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to
the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen
to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who
have the dumbest takes on sports imaginable. Don't listen to
the show so it can get camps.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
What the hell are you doing out studio?

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Get him?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Ignore that fool. Listen to the Pauli and Tony Footsco
Show on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get
your podcast.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
He's still moving.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
I hate base ball. I hate baseball. I hate baseball and.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
The seasons over.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
I hate baseball. I've never liked baseball. I've never liked it.
I know we talk a lot. We talk more baseball
than anybody else on the net Way. I think more
baseball anybody else than any network except MLB Network.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
Even then, I think it's debatable.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
I realized I hate baseball. I realized I hate.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
We're up six nothing. You were dancing studio. Yeah, you
were eating birds and hanging out and checking out and
you know, the adult happy mealings Donalds and thinking about
bird and all of that stuff. All was right with
the world. We started the show. You're all excited, happy, yeah,
and now you're not. Now you hate baseball.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
The Mets got three in the first and three in
the second. Wan Soto with a home run. It's a
six nothing lead over the Braves. Like okay, and David
Peterson on the mound, our best starter all start. Everything
is fine. Nine runs later, in the top of the
fourth inning, one the Braves lead the Mets nine to
seon because the Mets suck, Yes, we absolutely do. Nine

(16:31):
Harris hits a grand slam after David Peterson gives up
run after runn he walked in a run. Red Garrett
comes in first Battery faces Michael Harris with a grand
slam to dead center field, and now the Braves lead
the Mets nine. A season that's going nowhere for the Braves,
and they stink they're gonna say, hey, we're putting that
fork in the Mets season. Just when I thought, hey,

(16:53):
all right, hey, we gotten past the bad times. Alonzo
breaks Strawberry's home run record. Hey, everything is great. No, no, no,
this is what happens. Now they allow nine runs on
the top of the fourth inning. Nine runs, nine run
And for all of the for all of the talk
of hey it's still it's the dog days of August,
it happens. Teams go through times like this. No, teams
don't go Teams that are good don't go through times

(17:16):
like this repeatedly, with multiple seven to eight game losing
streaks and six nothing leads that they blow And it's
not now it is the fourth inning, and okay, who knows,
but my goodness, man, I mean, my goodness. You know
where I'm at right now.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
I'm at okay.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I gotta remember the important things. And the important thing
is Justin Fields look great against the Packers. The offense
look great, the defense look great. The Jets look great
preseason week one, and that's what's most important.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
I gotta say. The desperation level of snap to snap
trials of Justin Fields is kind of laughable at this point,
because I wake up and I'm looking at and Semini
and all these guys, and he's now two for two,
now he's three for three. It's like, what are we doing?
Come on now? But I guess if it can distract
you from what the implosion of the Mets has been,

(18:03):
I guess to some degree. I mean, I'm still you're
still in a wild card slot for today.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
But I feel like I gotta pack my Metskier away.
Like I haven't been able to wear it in like
three weeks. I'm used to wearing Mets gear like three
four times a week. I'm like, I can't wear it. Man,
people are gonna laugh at me.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
You gotta show some intestine.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
I can't do that.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
I just feel like you can't only sing what you're winning.
I just feel everybody race it for what it is.
But you know what, they might be staring at you anyway.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
That's a that's that's a that's a judge fan man
like like if I'm well like like like I stare
at people that that decide, Hey, I'm okay leaving the
house with a horizontal pattern shirt and vertical stripes of pants, like.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
You come on, I don't judge.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
You can't. You can't leave the house like that. You can't.
You can't understand when you're wearing. You can't wear every
pattern in your closet, like, that's.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Where you wear whatever makes you feel good. That's how
you're thinking, are you? Are you policing people over at
the beach? Down by you too?

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Going?

Speaker 4 (18:59):
I think you're showing you know, No, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
I don't think that's how I feel like people are
looking at me, Like I like how I look at people. Wow,
that's every pattern in your closet. Okay, I don't know
about that, but yeah, okay, Mike Jason really think he's
going to the beach. I was at the beach today,
smart guy. I was at the beach. Donald's at the
beach brought well. I went to the beach and then
the McDonald's.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
He found the hot dog, got a stick guy by
the beach.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Just so you know, mister smarty pants. When the guy
walked by with the ice cream, I didn't buy any
I'm like, just so you know, mister smarty hants. The
Mets were up six nothing.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
I know.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
You think we just talked about that. We just talked
about how awful this is.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Someone just joined the show. It's new to that one.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
So strikes out. This is just this is the most important.
But again, the Jets defense looked fantastic against the Giants
and the joint practices. They had a little bit of
a scuffle today, and the offense looked good at times,
but the defense was really dominant. I gotta understand, Okay,
this is what the important thing is, like, this is
what's most important. I I gotta get I always ask

(20:03):
every year the Mets to get me to the Jets,
and now I ask the Jets to get me to
the Knicks. Right, I'm not a greedy guy, right, Mets
get me to the Jets. Okay, all right, hey, the Mets,
if they're if they're fading now they got me to
the Jets. The preseason has started, the Jets are looking good.
I'm feeling great about Aaron Glenn. Right now, I realize
it's not gonna go very long for the Jets because
it's the year one of Aaron Glennery building. And while
I love the guy and this time next year, it's

(20:24):
gonna be a different tune and the Jets are gonna
be way on the way up. I get that now.
I'm just asking the Jets just get me to the
end of October, get me to the Knicks, right because
the Knicks this is it, Like, this is like okay,
I'm buckled in, like this is a championship or bus
season for the Knicks. So I just ask Mets, the Jets,
Jets to the next That's all I ask.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
You know what was playing in my head the entire
time you were talking. You described the Elton john classic
circle of life. That's all. It was, Mets to the Jets,
Jets to the Knicks. I'm hoping every year we've been
doing this because they suck, so it's the same cycle
that does not get broken.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
I'm holding up what the like like a baby polar
bear in an alonzo Jersey like raffiti is holding up
Simba as it doing Circle of Life and I'm holding
you up. Oh look it's a little baby polar bear
in Alonzo Jersey. Jason's all up like Raffiki.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Now I've got many Alonzo. I just can't wait to be.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
King Alonzo Alonzo like Raffiki's going Simba, Sibity's drawing. I'm
drawing Alonzo and the Alonzo Alonzo Alonzo Alonzo. That's me
right now. Man, I'm telling you it'said. I gotta understand.
This is what the most important thing is.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
Does that make the This is a rave scar in
this scenario if you want to go down, the.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Scar could be anybody. But no, you know, no, the
Brays are terrible this year. They're just one of the Hyaenas.
Man like scar is like the Phillies or Angels.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Aren't good, not a near five good scar.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Is the Phillies. They are good when they play the Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Buddy, how many Hyaenas were there?

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Three?

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Right?

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Two or three? Okay? So the so you got the
Bras will be one of the Hyaenas. The Brewers will
be one of the others because you know they want revenge.
Last year. So that that's kind of where it is
in Mets world right now.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
I need thats are fat and happy because they got burgers.
They can't be one of the Hyaenas. It's got to
be somebody else that's still you get hungry and coming up.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
How good is that? No Mets playoff prediction I made
months ago? Yeah, right now it's looking pretty good. It's
looking pretty good. We've lost like nine games in the
standings in the last three. It's looking pretty good right now.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
That's how the thing is.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
What you don't know is frostburg is we we are
playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers. We are
tanking for arch Manning. Just so you know that that's
what's gonna happen. So there we are. Now watch Petal.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Is this for his running acumen or is he going
to prove that he can you know, pitch for you?

Speaker 1 (22:39):
No, because Breese Hall will go off in week sixteen
and you will miss out on Arch like we missed
out on Trevor Lawrence because oh, let's have Frank Gore
win this game. No, that's I realize. I'm at the
most important part right now, the Mets to the Jets.
The Jets to the Knicks. The Mets have got me
to the Jets. I like the Mets to keep going,
but they've handed the baton off. All right, that's fine,
Aaron Glen. You take that baton and you get me

(23:01):
to the end of October. Okay, get me out of October.
We're good.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
It's all I need, so so much wishing and hoping.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Uh. Meanwhile, you'd think this was this is like we're
making stuff up, but this is an everyday thing, kind
of like how Jerry Jones admitted the other day that
he likes the drama and he likes relevance and attention.
He says things just to keep you know, Cowboys Nation
going and to stay in the news. I really feel
like the Cleveland Browns are doing this with their quarterbacks,
Like every day there's some kind of news and I go,

(23:29):
at some point there's not gonna be news. But after
today I have to readjust my big bold prediction from
last week, because we found out that Shador Sanders oblique
injury left practice today and likely is not gonna play
in the second preseason game on Saturday. If he was healthy,

(23:49):
he was slated to start as long as Gabriel and
Kenny Pickett wors still lot and it looked like they
weren't trending towards playing so but still all four quarterbacks
were getting reps at practice day. Shador Sanders is out, Nina, No,
let's give those reps to Tyler Hutley. Let's get all
four of those guys. And so I need to do something.
And I can't believe I'm changing a bold prediction after
so quickly, but I need to because now when you

(24:11):
throw in the fact that there's going to be injury
and ineffectiveness over the course of the season, right, quarterbacks
get hurt. Quarterbacks are ineffective when you are a bottom
feeder like the Browns you're waiting for next year. No
longer do I think the Browns will start all four
quarterbacks on their roster. I no longer think that's gonna happen.
I said it last week.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Are you upping it?

Speaker 1 (24:34):
I'm getting I'm getting rid of it because I no
longer think that all four guys that we've seen from
the beginning of training camp are going to play. I
now think all five quarterbacks are going to play. Five
five guys at least. Hey, speaking of a burger sponsorship.
There the five guys, they are all eating burgers. Who
starts this week? I don't know whoever finishes their burger first.

(24:55):
All five guys, they will somehow keep them all around
all the year long. And they will all because now
Tyler Huntley is their former pro bowler. For some reason,
who's getting snap who's still getting snaps even though it's
it's you know, we got three other guys? No, no, no,
give Tyler Huntley the snaps, because you never know. All
five quarterbacks will start a game for the Browns this year,

(25:17):
and best yet, I can give you the order I
can get I can now. I feel very confident giving
you the order on how we're gonna see these guys.
You ready, i'd follow up.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Let's go here, let me let me get out my
big board.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
I mean, it's awesome, and you would think that the
Browns would really just sort of borrow and understand that. Look,
everybody else that covers the NFL and talks about it
sees that Chodter Sanders is pretty good, and everybody's talking
about him and the odds and him in this overwhelming interest. No,
it's still gonna be fourth string on the depth chart.
Nice job, Kevin Stefanski, I will say this, this is
the order it goes.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Now.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
If I could bet this in Vegas, I will feel
really excited. In fact, we'll talk to Todd Furman about
that tomorrow night. But here's your order. Flacco starts the
season right. Flacco starts the season. But Flaco's older. How
effective is he really gonna be after the first month
or so? And he needs a little bit time to
get healthy because I thought he would wind up starting,
but he's clearly he needs more reps. He's not cleared yet,

(26:08):
but he's back at practice. Then they'll go to Kenny
Pickett because at least they spent a little bit of
assets to try to get Kenny Pickett in this year,
which tells you of all the quarterbacks they are locked
in and feel like they've invested them. Even though it's
not a lot, they still went out to get Kenny Pickett, right.
They thought he's gonna be our bridge guy this year.
They brought him in knowing full well that he may
start half the games or until our next quarterback is ready.

(26:31):
So Flacco will start. It's not gonna be the same
injury ineffectiveness, and they go to Kenny Pickett. Midway through
the season, when it's one in seven, one in eight,
it's gonna be what are we doing? We have to
get a look at at Shador Sanders and Dylan Gabriel
going into next year because you gotta know, are you
drafting a quarterback really high or do you have that

(26:51):
guy in the roster right? So all of a sudden,
now boom midway through the season one and seven, one
and eight, and it's gonna be Shador Sanders because the
desire to seem will be so incredible great, maybe sooner,
but depending on you know. But again, because guys get
banged up, you don't know how things are gonna flow.
But they will have to go to Shador Sanders. They
will have to play him because the desire scene will
be too great, and to play Dylan Gabriel ahead of him,

(27:12):
that's not gonna help anybody because you know you're gonna
see him, so okay, So then they'll go to Shador
Sanders middle of the season. He'll play a few games
and then again things could happen injury and effectiveness, but
you know, they really want to see Dylan Gabriel too,
so they'll find a way to get him in. I'm
thinking post Thanksgiving ish early December, mid December. He gets in,

(27:33):
and you think, okay, Dylan Gabriel's just gonna finish the season, right,
you gonna finish the season. E's gona be the guy.
But he'll play two three games and at the end,
something weird is gonna happen, something kind of crazy, and
that week seventeen, Tyler Huntley's gonna get the start. Five guys.
We'll start a quarterback for the Browns this year, all
five guys, all five.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah, the potential for chaos is there. Certainly. Kenny Pickett,
I think is an interesting component of all of this,
because we know there are gonna be other quarterback situations
where we're watching injuries and week to week statuses that
maybe he becomes a guy that gets spun off in
this process. Still young, still learning, super Bowl champion, by

(28:15):
the way, not that he shown with great regularity as
a regular starter back in Pittsburgh, but moving this thing along, Yeah,
you want to see what the rookies are all about.
You know, we've talked about it a bunch. You're you're
more bullish off of the one week of Shador Sanders.
I mean, it was fun to watch. What did it
really show us? I don't know, because it wasn't a

(28:36):
bunch of first stringers running running amok on him for
a full half. With every defensive twist and change you're
going to bring in most of the guys he's thrown to.
Are they guys that are gonna be there all of
those kind of things? But those are the guys he
was working with as the three and four. But it
makes for fun fodder because now you have to go

(28:57):
back in the annals of NFL history and start going
through all the teams that started for or more quarterbacks
throughout the years and see what kind of havoc and
what kind of names start appearing on those lists. I mean,
you mentioned Snoop Hunley Pro Bowl or how deep was
he in the Pro Bowl list before he made it?

Speaker 1 (29:17):
It was it was far down.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
It was far down, you know, not a bunch of
guys opt out, a bunch of guys say out of
hell with this. I already got my bonus money. It's
still gonna that check's still gonna clear all of those things,
so they can never take it away from him. But
it's a nice break glass in case of emergency kind
of guy. And in the end, you know, as we
talked about with Shadur specifically, and I think for the

(29:38):
young quarterbacks out there, at some point you got to
figure out what you have, especially if you're expected to
be terrible. You know where you've got an over under
a four and a half five wins that you're not
going to be too deep into the season before you're
already looking around going all right, let's just evaluate for
next year? Shall we try to play spoiler like the Braves.

(30:00):
We can't see what I did there? Yeah, thanks, turned
around and gave you a right turn, Clyde. But it's
it's the Browns man. We're getting a lot of ankle
a lot of minutes on the Browns, So that's good.
Shador Sanders is mighty intriguing, there's no question about it.
And it certainly moves the needle because you've got the
people that are vehemently gonna defend everything, every throw, every

(30:23):
decision he makes on and off the field, and then
you've got those with the poison pens ready to go. Meanwhile,
Joe Flacco is just sitting there with pretty hair wrapped
in bubble wrap, waiting for the regular season.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
I'm telling you five five quarter. They will start five
guys this year five. I'll take the over five time
now to find out what's trending in the wide world
of sports. And someone is going to not tell you
what's going on with the Mets game because it's not
really that important. The only highlight we need it's Monty Blagos.

Speaker 7 (30:52):
I was like, how's he gonna set me up? How's
he gonna set me up?

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Hi?

Speaker 7 (30:55):
Guys, Happy Wednesday evening. We will start in baseball, but
we'll start with the Dodgers. Why not taking on the
Angels in Anaheim. Started things off with the Mookie Bets
RBI single and a Will Smith to run shot. Angels
have scored, but the Dodgers holding on three to two.
It's the top of the fourth inning. The Padres today
won their fifth straight in a row, defeating the Giants

(31:16):
eleven to one. So right now San Diego has a
half game lead on the Dodgers in the NL West.
Depending on how this game ends, could.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Go back to a tie. By the end of the evening.
We'll go to the Yankees. The Yankees did have a
tie game against the Twins.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
Cody Bellinger with the home run started things off, but
the Twins have taken the lead for to one is
the score in the Bronx. Top of the sixth, bottom
of the sixth inning, about to start. The Mariners managed
to tie the game against the Orioles in Baltimore.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
It's three to three. Bottom of the ninth inning.

Speaker 7 (31:44):
Mariners have won eight in a row New York though,
Mets and Braves.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Sorry, but the Braves did hit a grand slam.

Speaker 7 (31:51):
Michael Harris ron four of nine to six, top of
the fifth INTI.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Just got thrown out at home plate trying to score
from second on a base age. So it's still nine.
So it's still nine to six.

Speaker 7 (32:03):
And you can catch all the action on FS one.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, yeah, you can. You can astro stop the Red
Sox four to one.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Cubs beat the Blue Jays four to one.

Speaker 7 (32:14):
Marlins outscored the Guardians thirteen to four.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Jacob Marcy for Miami had seven RBI.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
In the win.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
The Red shout out the Phillies eight.

Speaker 7 (32:20):
Zero, and as you started the show, Jason Brewer's hottest
team in baseball twelve in a row, defeating.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
The Pirates earlier today twelve to five.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
NFL News, you guys were just talking about Shador Sanders
day to day with that oblique injury. Not likely that
he's going to play in their second preseason game on
Sunday against the Eagles. You can expect Caleb Williams and
the Bear starters to play in their second preseason game
against the Bills, as coach Ben Johnson announced that Bill's
running back James Cook agreed to a four year, forty
eight million dollar extension today with thirty million guaranteed, and

(32:50):
he returned to practice as well.

head like a head out of the gun sliders? Yes,
because one thing Frostburg doesn't like double entendres No, that's no.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
I mean, look, just because your mind was filthy and
needs to be washed out with soap or something stronger.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Listen, I just just you know. I watched the Mets
blow a six nothing lead. They're losing nine to six.
Now they're a loud the fourth inning. Okay, I'm dealing
with a lot of stuff right now, Get off my back.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
It's another day in Paradise. As Andrew Vaughan continues his
march towards the m.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
VP, Baseball stinks. I hate baseball. Baseball is terrible. Uh
so let's get some positivity, right, best, that was kind
of positive. No, No, we're getting free Burg. Well, Freeway
went from free Bergers and you ruined. You and Frostburg
are ruining with the sacks stuff. So we're moving on.
Speaking of sacks today practice Will McDonald, so, best story
of the day because the good times are coming for

(36:01):
one NBA franchise that clearly, Hey, this is a franchise
that needs it. The Portland Trailblazers are going to be
sold from Paul Allen's estate because he passed away in
twenty eighteen to Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon, who bought
the team back in twenty eighteen. Now, why is this
such a big deal, Carook, I'll tell you it's my team.

(36:25):
I can tell you the insight that this is why
it's such a great story. Carolina is a small market
team in the NHL. Portland's a small market team in
the NBA, right, sixth smallest market in the NBA. When
Dundon bought the team, the Hurricanes hadn't made the playoffs
in a decade. Right, They won the Cup back in
six is great, but they hadn't made them. They were

(36:46):
on a ten It was like the Jets with a
ten year playoff drought right that they did not make
the playoffs. It was awful. I felt like, my goodness,
I can't believe. How do you miss the playoffs when
everybody makes it? How do you miss for a decade?
How do you do it? He buys a team in
twenty eighteen, and I'll tell you what, guy knows what
he's doing. Three conference finals in the last seven years

(37:08):
were a yearly Stanley Cup threat in some books in Vegas,
the Carolina Hurricanes are the favorite to win the Stanley
Cup next year. They get the right players. They have
kept a great product on the ice. He knows what
he's doing. And I don't think he showed up with
this great hockey knowledge. Go I'm gonna come into it.
But he knows how to run a smaller market professional
sports team, and he did it in Carolina and they're terrific.

(37:30):
And now he's going to do the same thing in Portland.
The good times are coming back for the Blazers because
it's the same time kind of thing. Right, how do
we make it work? How do we wind up turning
this from where they were at and turning things around.
It's almost the same thing that everybody expects to happen
with Mark Walter and the Lakers. Okay, the way they
were doing business wasn't working. Now here comes Mark Walter,
and the way of doing business is going to change.

(37:52):
But this is much more of a you can look
at the you can look at the blueprint and say, hey,
he came into Carolina, did a lot of different things,
got the right head coach in again, trusting the right
people and make the right decisions, and again Carolina is
a power like they are a power in the Eastern Conference. Yes,
they keep playing the bleeping Panthers every year and they
can't get past the Panthers, but at least we beat
them once this year. But he knows, hey, how do

(38:15):
I do this? How do I build? How do I
build hockey in a city where, hey, after the initial
love affair, they hadn't made the playoffs in a decade?
What do we do? And now look where he's got.
It's the same thing that he has on his plate
in Portland, and I have no doubt he's going to succeed.
This is the right guy to come in. It's the
right guy, the right team to buy.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
See. I think some of it relates to back to
school right to take it into our film and television
analogies where you're in the business class and he's telling
you about widgets. What are we selling? No, it's widgets,
It doesn't matter. It's a fictional product. It goes. It's ubiquitous,
that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
So let's say we're selling tape recorders. Oh, I'll tell
you what. Okay, gohead exactly.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
You want to go there? Safe Harbor? No, So I
don't even think save Harvard.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
No, no, no.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
But the idea of just being that best business practices
good to great, apply it elsewhere as you roll through.
Remember we were on air when Steve Balmer first bought
the Clippers, and I think I was one of the
few to say two billion dollars was a bargain for
a million reasons. Now, the average NBA franch this is
four billion. Right, they're saying the average is four point

(39:25):
six and that seems ridiculously low.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Right.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
We got the report of the NFL valuations as well,
where nobody's worth less than five point five billion.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
But I think all that's light. I think now the
Lakers got the Lakers could have probably gone for fifteen. Like,
everything we know about about what the worth of franchises
are goes out the window when the Blazers are bought
for four billion dollars, that's just end right.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
It was all fuzzy math, right when Balmer bought things
a two billion, Yes, distress property at the time, but
in LA and how many times do you these type
of franchises come up for sale? So yeah, you impart
your best practices, get your best people on it, eventually
hire your best basketball people on it, and suddenly you
have success because again, everybody's operating within the same financial constraints.

(40:14):
So if you've got money to spend, guess what you're
gonna find stars that'll come and take your money.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
I mean really, I mean four billion dollars for the Blazers,
for the player. Suddenly the Clippers are like, dude, how
do you only pay two billion for that? Like that's
a bonus.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
Because that is the genius.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Everything I had a lot to big money is out
the window. Just think that's how big a day today was.
We got more in this and another big story out
of the NFL out of Dallas coming up next right here, Fox.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
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 (40:56):
Five Second Dance Party. Hamma gonna get through? Am I
gonna get through this Mets game? Because we stink. We
gave up eleven runs. Now we had a six nothing lead.
Now that's over. I really really hate baseball. Yes, I

(41:20):
hate it. Am I gonna get through to the Jets season.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
Don't be sad it's it's over. Be glad it happened.
You had a six nothing I'm.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Not glad it happened at all.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
I didn't score The Jason Smith.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Show with my best friend Mike Karmi. Yeah, a Mets
six nothing lead is now an eleven sixth deficit in
the seventh. Boy, this is this is gonna put a
fork in the Mets here. This is like the vampire
at the very end when he has ah. I just
put that steak in his heart and he just melts.
That's what happened. You just wait for the Jets to suck. Hey, hey, hey,
I'm riding the fast lane right now because Justin Fields

(41:55):
and the Jets look really good and I love Aaron Glenn.
Let's see if are in next guest agrees with us
on that. He is longtime NFL insider, Oh oh your
new intro music. Jason Call is the Pet Shot Boys
in Dusty Springfield. He is on the thirty third team.
He's on Twitter at Jason Call sixty two. He is
a Hall of Fame voter Jay Cole, what's happening? Man?

(42:18):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (42:20):
How am I going to get for? It? Really is
like a New York Sports the theme song isn't it? Hey?

Speaker 1 (42:27):
It is? But for one week the Jets were great
in all facets of the game. They were great justin
fields was great, The running game was great, the defense
was great. This may be as good as it gets.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
There'll be maybe about it. Yeah, yeah, this is as
good as it gets when when the other team doesn't
game plan or design the defense. Yeah, he could look
pretty good. That's definitely true. He could even be very good,

(43:06):
maybe even Hall of famish if you don't have a
if you don't game plan against him. However, once you
actually game plans, things changed. That's how football works. That's
strange how that happens.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Yeah, that's why I said, this is as good as
it's going to get. I'm okay with it.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
Well, this is this is like my friends who it
was friends who were Giants fans, and he was sending
out texts Jackson Dart looking so great. I looks stop
to stop, and I immediately dug out the headline of
Daniel Jones's first, uh first exhibition games and it's like,

(43:51):
Daniel Jones looks sharp for Giants and debut. Yeah, that's
how the things go. The rookie quarterback always looks sharp.
He's playing against teams that don't actually play defense.

Speaker 4 (44:04):
So much for that shoot or Sanders question, I was
going to ask, that's.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
How that's how this always works. It's really that's how
it works.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
No, but I'm telling you now, I'm going to make
you even happier than you were last week. I have
to re think my bold prediction that they're going to
start all four quarterbacks this year. They're now going to
start five quarterbacks this year.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Because we talked about that five.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Well, but now they're getting five. We said four, but
now we got five. We got five.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
Last week. They had last week and I said, you're
up to five.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
But now it's clearly going to be five. Sanders is hurt,
picking is hurt. Yeah, now it's going to be five.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
I have very little doubt of that because it's the
Browns and and it doesn't really matter how many games
they play, like Dick has only played five games, and
they would five from quarterbacks, then.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Then it would be Derek Anderson twice. No, I see
exactly how it's.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
Gonna work for you, Derek Andres.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
That two thousand and seven season with him and Braylon
Edwards was magical for fantasy.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Well it really actually it really was. And you forget
that Jojo Vicious was really really good that year too,
Like he was maybe the best third down receiver in
the league that year. I think he tried like forty
passes on third down that year. He's really really good.

(45:37):
The whole offense just clicked for a little while, Like
all of a sudden, we were like, oh, Romeo Cronel
can really be a great head coach.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
And I was like, no, not really, no, no, no, no, no,
You'll see time will bear me out on it. It'll
be fine.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
He'll be.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Jason Cole with us here a Fox Sports Radio, Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon, all right, no, I what this is?

Speaker 3 (46:00):
What this is?

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Believe it or not. There is a question I've wanted
to ask you since Week one of the preseason. Okay,
all right, we watched we watched Cam little kick a
seventy yard field goal in the preseason right for Jacksonville,
which is like, whoa, this is not just sixty five,
sixty six, this is seventy. And I want to say
if I said to you, if you what, what do

(46:24):
you think is the absolute longest any kicker, whoever you
think is the best kicker in the NFL? What's the
longest field goal you can see somebody making. Now that
we've seen somebody in the preseason, it went from.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
Seventy well in a live situation, live situation, well.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
That was a live situation, was the preseason, but it
was a life Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Yeah, I mean I just didn't know if you're like
saying I was, if we just like have a like
field goal contest.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
No, no, no, of course I do care about that.
That's what the Pro Bowl can do.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
That they can do that.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
No, I mean a real we obviously got made it,
so somebody's going to be will to try it, you know,
depending on the kicker. But there are some factors that
go with it, and that is, are you playing indoors?
Are you playing in a warm weather stadium? And you
don't attempt these kinds of kicks unless a you're in
a desperation situation where you're trying and tie the game

(47:18):
on a last play and you think and you think
you have a kicker that can do it, or it's
the last play of a first half and you're going
to give it a shot. But even then it's dangerous
because I was at the game between the Giants and
the Bears where Tom Kaflin and one of the rare

(47:39):
mistakes that Tom Coughlin made from a strategic standpoint, try
a really long feeling a lawyer. Remember it was like
sixty something yards and that's the one that Devin Hester
returned for one hundred and eight yards famously, And you know,
I think Ernie, Ernie, of course he lost his mind
because it's like why did you do that? Here in

(48:01):
the wind and all those other things. So, I mean,
it really conditions happy perfect. So you end up with
only like maybe of course of the season, a dozen
situations where this can happen. And again, what's your weather like,
are you playing indoors. I mean you can't. You really

(48:21):
can't do it once the weather starts to turn in
late October November, because it's the ball is just not
going to travel. So you know, I think you got
probably yeah, yeah, maybe five or six realistic opportunities for
it in a given season where somebody might try it.

(48:42):
And even then you better have a really good, really
good unit for coverage because if that ball is short,
it's going to come back out because that guy's going
to get ahead of team and he's going to be
out to about the twenty five or thirty yard in
a hurry and on top of your coverage stace.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
So since you referenced Chicago, let's let's go there. What
do you make of all the noise surrounding Caleb Williams
Ben Johnson? Uh, we're watching net videos and everything else
and getting that extrapolated out upon you know.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
For Johnson happen. It's all happening. It's happening right now.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
So over under eight and a half.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Wins, no number of times Williams is benched.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
That's that's the that's the I was.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Asking wins or touchdowns?

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Wow, number of former Bear stars who call for Caleb
Williams to be benched this year eight and a half?
What's the over Well, but you have to final legend
can just be someone who played for the team. It's
got to be some.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
Different amongst the fans of a team, right, there's guys
that you called that. The rest of the world laughs at.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
I were talking about just former quarterbacks of the Bears,
and eight and a half is a good number. It
was like that total total former players because Olden Krutz, well,
Ollen Krutz is going to come out in his favor,
I think his only group. I remember a goetting a
semi argument with Ollen Cruits about who was that that

(50:18):
draft that they that they drafted instead of Mahomes.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
What was it?

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Trubisky? Yeah, yeah, when Travisky. You know, Trivisky had like
rare games where he was like twenty three or thirty
five and threw a couple of balls the into the
outside that actually looked decent, and I was like, Okay,
he had a decent game, but he's still not very good.

(50:42):
And Owen Krutz just came right after and we go, oh,
what do you know and what do you use? It's
like not very good. Like you have to look at
it realistically, and so Creutz was a great defender in
that case. So I guess he's the guy who's always
going to stick up for what the Bears do.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
But but I could find like I could find, like
Steve Fuller getting very upset and go, there's one Bear's legend,
Steve Fuller. Okay, got him?

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Yeah, See, I think Fuller leads the pack. I mean
he's going to get I think eight and a half
on quarterback. Salon's good number. It's really good number I got.
But I definitely, I definitely go over. I definitely go over.

Speaker 4 (51:22):
How do I get Cruits into the Hall of Fame
while we while we're on him that that's not gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
Like all incurage, But yeah, it's not gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
Just like that just dismissed me.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
The way the new rules are, it's gonna be so
hard to get more than three or four guys in
the Hall of Fame in a given year.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Which well, you just have to have a very good
career and you get in the Hall of Fame. You
don't need to be great, just to be very.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
Good, did you do? You know what the do we
discuss the new rules yet No.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
What did they tell you you have to be about sure?
They said, hey, they have to be at least very
good and then they're eligible. Okay, great, that's a new rule.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
No, no, this is actually a realistic thing, and it's
a real problem because a lot of guys, dudes you
got to get in are going to have a hard time.
We're going to have a real backlog of players here
in three or four years where you're going to go
that guy really actually does deserve to get in, but
can't get in. Because what they did is instead of

(52:25):
us going from we used to go from you have
the group of fifteen that you would argue about, and
you cut that group down from fifteen to ten, and
then you would cut them from ten to five, and
it was kind of became a rubber stamp of those
five we're going to get in, right. And that went
on for a few years, and then there was a
bunch of whining and complaining, especially after the Blue Ribbon

(52:48):
year that they put all those seniors in, which that
was a massive mistake because that caused the whole Hall
of very Good argument when we were letting in Harold Carmichael.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
And the Drew Pearson's of the World Carmichael. I think
I know what happened there is he was supposed to
be in the Tall of Fame and they actually put it.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Yeah, yeah, that was welcome to the layup drill for
suff So yeah, you keep going with the radio layup drills, okay,
But the overreaction to that was to do this where
we instead of cutting down from ten to five we
come from, we cut down from ten to seven and

(53:31):
then the seven. In order to get to gain entry,
you have to get at least eighty percent. Well, there's
fifty voters. There's two hundred and fifty votes, because each
of us gets to vote for five. If you have
a guy, like a couple of guys who are like
unanimous picks, like a Drew Brees is going to be
pretty much a un animos pick this year, all of

(53:53):
a sudden, you take out fifty of those votes, you
probably take out another forty five for the next best guy,
and you're not less with a lot of votes for
the last five guys. I think this year we only
put in three under the new system. I think that
three is going to be more typical and it's going
to be hard to get to four and almost impossible

(54:15):
to get to five. So there's actually going to be
guys because the problem with the process is not the
modern day guys. The problem with the process is the
senior guys that you and I talked about, or we
talk about that our borderline, and those are the guys
who keep getting in where everybody's looking around going that

(54:38):
is in now, like seriously, like like Chuck Holligan, but
like he's not. He's not even like a cowboy b
like he's a cowboy c like you know, like and
that served along the lines of your Tall of Fame, layup.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Hill, layup Hill, congratulations for the lamp Hill, although that
also assumed everybody he knew who Harold Carmichael was. Yeah, right,
come on a lab that's the whole.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
Point that Harold Carmichael got in the Hall of Fame.
And I remember, Harold Carmichael is a very good player,
and he was very tall, very tall. He's very He
set some record for most games, like consecutive games with
the catch, like I don't know, two hundred or something
like that, you know, no notable achievement. But I always
look back at going look, I grew up a Rams

(55:27):
fan and Harold Jackson was better than him, and Harold
Jackson does not belong in the Hall of Fame. Like
Harold Jackson was probably better than Drew Pearson doesn't belong
in the Hall of Fame. That's Drew Pearson had some moments,
no question about it. But like we sort of softened
that line with some of the old time guys, and

(55:47):
when we put in twenty of them in one year,
because we thought that there was some backlog of these
guys have to get in. It's like no, no, no,
they don't have to get in. They didn't get voted
into in their careers because they weren't quite good enough,
you know, Like that's that's how this works. But now
we're punishing guys who, like, I don't know that Tory

(56:09):
Holt or Reggie Wayne are going to get in the
whole of thing anytime, since, like they may take those
guys another five or ten years to get in the
way that the system is set up. And Reggie Wayne
and Tory Holt our guys who I think are definitely
Hall the Fame guys, they're not. They're way better than

(56:29):
Drew Pearson's and Harold carmichaels of the world.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is
at Jason Coulson.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
That was way That was way too serious, man.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
That was that was very serious.

Speaker 4 (56:39):
It was very much fantastic. You get a cowboy bees.
That was good.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
Well, that's not bad. Now we're gonna talk about Jerry
