Jason Smith & Mike Harmon discuss the Colts naming Daniel Jones their starting QB for the 2025 season!
Jason Smith: "It's not like Richardson has been terrible and there's no choice, the fact that he's had a good camp and the Colts still picked Daniel Jones...that's the reason why the Colts are my long shot Super Bowl pick, because of Danny Dimes!"
Mike Harmon: "I root for the guy, we saw the flash when he was at Florida, but you can't force a guy that few of starts. The stats bear out time and time again that this just go from A to B that fast!"

Let's give this you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Steve de Seger, Hello, Welcome inside, Happy Tuesday, The Jason
Smith Show with my bes friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
For over forty.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Years, Tyrack's been helping 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, tyrack dot com is the way tire.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Buying should be.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well, it's not often I get a text right before
we go on the air, right because people know, hey,
show starting, let's let's not text you. Well, I mean,
you got to be in your zone, you know, like
a caged animal ready to be unleashed.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Upon the globe for these four hours.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I'm still a little bit of an old schooler, Okay, Well,
right when that happens. You know, I'm not Adam Schefter
where I'm gonna be. I'm just showing you I'm a jerk.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I'm on the.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Set, typing on my phone because I can't go eight
seconds because I'm gonna break news every nine seconds, but
generally okay, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Good fun. Why did that immediately make him jump to
being a jerk because he looks.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
It looks like when he's on TV, like everybody else
is doing it important.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I get it. Yeah times, yes, no one knows I'm
on television.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I can't do that. Yes, I'm not going to break
a story like That's just ridiculous, especially when he says
stuff like, oh, sometimes my wife's going, oh, you know what.
I'm sure everybody's significant others like to text them, but
they're on the air doing something important.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
But oh, okay, but my dad, don't forget milk.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I will but my dad right before we go on
and I go, I know exactly what the hell he
wants to go.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
He says, hey, if you have a power outage, insures tonight.
It's because all the powers in Tampa. Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
The Yankees after a rain delay in the top of
the first inning against Tampa Bay go back to back
to back with home runs. They have already hit four
home runs on the day. Judge, Bellinger and Stanton go
back to back to back in the first inning. This
is my dad's greatest day of the year. Like, there's
(02:26):
other things that could happen like that, but this is
his great God could come down and say, hey, I'm
gonna fix your your shoulder so there's no more arthritis
in it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Lets you play around of golf.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
No, my dad, no, give me back to back to
back home runs in the top of the first inning.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
All things right with the world, if only for a moment. Look,
it's been one hundred degrees every day in the greater
Tampa area for a while, so the extra power probably needed.
I think that grid's been overworked with people in their
their air conditioners. But yeah, the powers supply at at nauseum.
Did I you talk about the Yankees? We we were
(03:02):
talking before the show. Otani home run one hundred and
sixteen miles an hour exit velocity. He was only plus
one hundred, so what fifty to fifty proposition?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And then Schwarber says, yeah, take that, I got one too. Well,
you know, listen.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Rob Mafford's coming around in the fact that, Okay, we
could talk about realignment, and we could talk about adding
playoff teams, and we can talk about, you know, expansion,
but okay, everybody likes home runs.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Let's make sure we have more home runs.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
What else do we need? We need guys to hit
down right? Sure, the Schwarber noe I'm gonna steal from
Steve de Sager, from Sarah Langs the great fifteen straight
series that Schwarber's homer at least once, Yeah, tying Sammy
Sos for second all time. Mark McGuire in nineteen ninety
six did it in twenty straight series.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Think about that. That's the event for McGuire. Set the
home run right right two years?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, I mean ninety six to and then ninety eight
Sammy was ridiculous. But yeah, a lot of activity on
the i'mond and the White Sox blowing a lead.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So I'm doing everything I can to.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Channel it into positivity for other teams and players and
for your dad. Sure, so have the Tuesday Walt, because
my dad needs the positivity. Because we talked earlier in
the day, things not so rosy for the Yankees as
it is now because apparently you know, as you sent
me the text earlier today bold strategy.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Let's see if it works out.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Uh, there seems to be a disconnect between Aaron Judge
and Aaron Boone, So Judge and Boone or I don't know,
but that sounds like a really successful country music duo
Judge and Boone. I'm going to see judging boom or
Boone and Judge. We'll be better Judge and Boone. Yeah,
judgeing Boone, Well, we just call him Judge.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Boone to see judging Boone go to We just called
him Judge Booon.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Judge and book go to the Judge of Boone concept.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Like, I feel like they should be doing the bootscoot
and boogie Judge and Boone doing the bootscoot.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
And boogie, going up hitting home.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Ron's gotten the boot scooting boogie Judge, I'm just finger
around the bases.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I like that. Yeah, I really like that dance that
they do.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
What's the one where you I don't know what it's
called where you hold your belt buckle and you just
like kick and you keep your your your body is
straight and you kick your feet out to the side,
Like I don't know what that dance is called. But
that's incredibly difficult to do.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's a lighter variation of running in place. Okay, all right?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Uh so Judge and Boone uh not on the same page. Look,
if you have any doubt that Aaron Boone is circling
the drain as Yankee manager. So since Aaron Judge's injury,
he's been designated hitter for the Yankees. And of course,
y know, look, Judges is a is a plus outfielder.
He's a plus center fielder. I mean when he's not,
(05:41):
you know, taking his eye off the ball because Key
k Hernandez is a second base Oh sorry, is it
too soon?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Was it too soon for that?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Is that what they're commemorating Key k Hernandez bobblehead Day?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
When he comes back to the team next week?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, you see the big love and the ball drop.
Uh So when is Judge gonna get back in and playing.
Aaron Boone did an interview and he said, you know,
I don't know if his arm is gonna get back
to where it is because of his injury. And you know,
is he gonna have an eighty arm, which is the
baseball term for a plus arm. And is he gonna
get back to where he's at. Well, I don't know
(06:13):
that's what's gonna happen. And Aaron Judge took real umbrage,
like complete total dolorous umbrage with Aaron Boone saying I
don't know if his arm is gonna be the same
this year. Like it seemed to me a big overreaction
because basically, what Aaron Boone is trying to say, look, yeah,
I don't know is he gonna be the same he's
coming off an injury. Is he gonna be the same
(06:35):
when he goes back out there in the outfield. That
that that's not something that is that seems to be
that there's a red flag. That's not something that seems
to me like, hey, he meant something bad by it.
But Aaron Judge turned it into something by saying, I
don't know why he would say that. You know, I'm
getting ready to go back out there. So all of
a sudden, Aaron Judge turned this into a thing by saying,
(06:55):
I don't know why Aaron Boone would say that. And
so of course Aaron Boone had to do an interview
and say, whoa, whoa wa, it's not what I meant, whoa,
whoa wa. I'm not upsetting our best player. I'm not
upsetting the guy that's gonna win the MVP of the
American legu.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Whoa, whoa whoa.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Listen, do it, Gabriel. We know what you meant. I'm
an entertainer when I do these interviews. Okay, I don't
mean Aaron can throw. I'm an entertainer.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
If this doesn't tell you that Aaron Boon is circling
the days till the end of the season until there's
a change of manager, nothing else does. Because Judge and
the rest of the Yankees and everybody else, they're all
sick of the same narrative, which is the Yankees play
like little leaguers. Right, what did Clint Frazier say? They
do too much stuff and mess blank up and they
don't fundamentally they're not a good team. And this wears
(07:38):
on you right when you were when you're when you're
a professional baseball player and you get told you stak well,
that comes to the territory when you get told you
guys are bad fundamentally, you can't make plays, you're like
little leaguers. That is something that sticks through, and that's
that's something that players go, Okay, yes, we have to
have pride in what we do. But when if we're
not playing good fundamentally, it always goes back to if
you're not good fundamentally, it's because you're not being taught
(08:01):
the right way to be fundamental. Now, granted, what's the
manager responsible for in modern day of making sure fundamentally
a team is good. Yeah, obviously they're the magic in
charge of things. But it's a little bit less. Because
it's baseball. You should know, Hey, this is where I'm
going to cut off. This is what's here. This is
what's here. But it's about accountability. It's about holding team
to a standard. It's about not letting a storyline fester.
(08:22):
And this Yankees little leaguer story festered since the fifth
inning of Game five of the World Series last year
and that has not gone away. And you can tell
just by Aaron Judge, because this is this is pretty
innocuous of Aaron Boone saying, hey, you know, I hope
he's back. We don't want to hurt him. This is
this is basically Aaron Boone just saying, hey, we want
to make sure we protect him. We're hoping his arm
(08:43):
is still as good as it is the short term
because he's had the injury. And Aaron Judge, I don't
know why he would say that. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This
tells you how harmonious things are in Yankee Land. And
as I said, if the Yankees we're getting we're getting
middle of August now and to August. Yankees are starting
to win again now, so it seems like it's okay.
But uh, if they fall a couple of games out
of what they will get rid of Aaron Boone. And
(09:04):
no matter what you look, at the end of this year,
it is not trending well. This will be Aaron Boone's
final year. The roars for him are just so much
around the team and the fact that this will be
eight plus years now without a World Series, and the
fact that things aren't getting better and the team seems
to be tuning them out and because there's no fundamental improvement. Yeah,
(09:25):
this is enjoy watching Aaron Boone manage the Yankees. This
is the last year you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
To do it.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I mean, the Judge error in the World Series was
the icing gown on the cake. Because we'd watched it
all year long, It's what we're talking about a lot
when we talk about the Dodgers this year, right, the margins,
the ti Oscar Hernandez yesterday. And you can argue about
positioning and outfield positioning, but you know there are plays
you make, and as a professional outfielder, you gotta be
(09:51):
able to make those. The manager and the coaching staff
they try to position as best you can, so they
take some of the blame. But in the end, the owner,
this is on you to go and make plays. But
you also have to be smart in front of a microphone.
I reference Dylan Gabriel just from the Okay, he may
not have meant it, but if you open that door,
guess what a collective media is going to run through.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Particularly in New York where you're already on the.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Edge, right, Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman, they don't have
a lot of margin when they go and make public
statements about anything that might be on the line, particularly
if it involves Aaron Judge like that takes it to
a whole other place. Now you're going after the guy
who is the face of your franchise load these many
years on his end route to another MVP.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Award him and cal Raley.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I mean, he dwarfs him in all categories except Homer
and RBI, So there really shouldn't be an issue, but
as we know, it becomes a hey, what's a better
story kind of thing? But all of it, you know,
Judge eventually, you know, made some clarification points about where
he's at, getting out to one hundred and fifty feet,
feeling better, so hoping to get back out there. But
(11:00):
neither he nor Boone would have put a time tamble
on it. So even when they put their feet to
the fire, neither one of them was gonna give you
any specificity. Most of it should have been handled behind
closed doors. But you know, if you're Aaron Boone, you're
grasping at straws, and to some degree you're gonna be
looking for excuses as to why things may not be
going as swimmingly as you want. Well, Aaron, Aaron can't
get right, man. It's a nice excuse, right because you
(11:22):
got another DH, because what else you got?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You got a guy in stand that you can't do
anything but dhing. Yeah. Look it's so, I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
What are you going to alternated bats for those guys? Yeah,
he's my DH innings one, three, five, seven.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I mean, look of all the big drama in baseball
the past couple weeks with the trade deadline and teams
that have taken off from the trade deadline, teams that stunk,
teams that stunk it. Now potentially you're back up the
Dodgers with a big win this weekend over at big
sweep over the Padres. Looks like they're gonna beat the
Rocky tonight, but still some time left to go. The
saga of the Yankees falling and treading water and they
(11:57):
are just trying to They're that the character in the
movie that says, look, I'm just trying to make it
day to day, right that that's the movie or TV
character that you know, just making it to the end
of the day and getting to go to bed and
coming up the next day.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Like we are.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
It's all I can do just to make it to
the next day. And that's kind of what the Yankees are.
It's all they can do just to keep it going
from day to day. With the season has been full
of disappointments and bad play and questions about your manager
and your moves of the deadline and your now your
star player seems to be at odds with your manager
like it is every single day, and it's just enough.
(12:33):
Let me just get through today, But what about two weeks? No, no, no,
just we got today and then I'll worry about tomorrow.
That's the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
We look go series to series, game to game. What
are we getting out of our pitching staff? Which is
a whole other area of concern as you flow through,
as most teams are at this point. There's not a
lot of continuity consistency across the rotations in Major League Baseball.
But certainly when you look at a guy with the
impact of Aaron Joud and trying to figure out how
(13:01):
you get him back out in the outfield again, you know,
you go team to team. You watched as much baseball
as I have. We watch it every night here in
this studio. I mean, how many times are you shaking
your head at fundamentals? We're watching that White Sox Atlanta game.
All right, it was ten to nine, all this stuff.
The Braves load the bases, nobody out. Michael Harris goes
in bunts straight back to the mound. All right, you
(13:25):
get the foce out at home plate. They do a
shot to the Braves dugout. They had to make sure
everybody's back was it and you could just watch the
animated heads because if you would mouthed in the words.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You would have fcc fins.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Even if you couldn't audibly hear what they were saying,
they were losing their minds. Now, eventually, a fat curveball
that hangs in the zone ends up getting hit for
a double to right field. So the point is moot,
and the Braves ended up taking the lead. But it
was just one of those what are we doing? Like
I like a bunt as much as anybody. I think
(13:57):
it's an underutilized part of the game. However, there are circumstances.
There are teams, there's down distance whatever we've seen it
in the outfield, we see it, you know, in the
infield and making decision which base are you going to
cut off?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Man?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
As you alluded to earlier, all of these things. It's
like it's Major League baseball, and in basketball we bemoan
in the existence of AAU all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Do we do we start blaming travel ball?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
And at nowhere in the minor leagues, these guys learn
these little things, or managers who have been there eight
to ten years.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
In New York. Don't know when to shut their damn mouth.
Where do you learn that one? Jason, bring me.
Speaker 1 (14:38):

baseball story. The every day is full of challenge and
a daunting day. Hey, this is what the day is

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Did your dad have a judge in your hitting street
game today? Is that why you?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
No, we tell you had he had?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
We had Lindor today, Okay, and I told him, I said, well,

down on it to hear the closing song too, because
it does a da U D D D D D.
But it also does the we when you die go
dude it Wow, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
So I play it, and so I play it again.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Don Dent dunnis So it does it for like ten
seconds and I hold on down to it and.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
It plays a boo did it and it stops. I'm like, oh,
did I get a defective card? So I put it down.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I get a new card and I press play and
I play it again, d Dent Don dent d It
goes well, so that I pressed, I hold it down
and the press play at the end and it plays
it again and it plays the closing So I finally
goes DD and this ten year old kid who was
standing I didn't even notice was was like ten feet
away from me.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Year old kid turns and goes, you're gonna play that again?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I was thinking you activated the uh you know, the
super soldier in somewhere in the pharmacy or something, and
he came out attack it comes out.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
With a mallet like Mario, and he's just pounding at me.
Here come the birds are jumping up and down. Giants
shoulder tag jump out on top of a vulture. It
turns into it. You close the shell and it goes
and knocks.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
It body over. Well he is at ten year old kid,
you gonna play that again? I'm like, and I actually,
are you asking me to do it?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I said, well, the first one might have been broken,
so I had to go to this one. Okay, I'm
like this, that's like a sitcom moment where I'm like,
all right, but.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
He was you really did want to play it again?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Though?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I did, Yeah, and and and and I'm not going
to confirm it to night, but when I was walking
to the front that I played again.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah I did. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
The kid at this point, I was hoping that when
he got the card it would still work. I didn't
know if maybe I had used up the number of
button button pushes that it's not going to work. After that, Wow,
not working? Well, you can't expect him to hang around
all the time. It's like the double doore.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He's busy.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Hey, Happy Birthday? Was this card supposed to play something good,
damn it. I had a dog, you know what. I
tested it in the in the in the in CBS,
and I got it. How many times you test it?
Like nine and it played every single time. So I
didn't play for you for your birthday. That's my fault.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
But I'll sing it for you.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
So Daniel Jones, as we told you, was going to
win the Annapolis Colts quarterback derby. He has today Shaneestike
and making the decision that Daniel Jones is his guy,
And a little bit of a wrinkle in it is
that I want him to know he's our guy this season,
all right. He doesn't want to go into every week
going after seventeen straight in completions in the third quarter.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Was there a thought of going to Anthony at that point?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Not gonna do it, and so much so that Anthony
Richardson's agent said following the decision today, we have to
take a look and see what his future with the
Colts is because clearly it doesn't look like there's one,
and obviously there's not one. The guy was taking the
top ten of the draft and he can't win, can't
win the quarterback job, and he can't stay healthy. I'm
pretty sure this is a sign that the Colts are
(23:48):
moving on from Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I'll tell you what thought Anthony in front of the
microphone was fantastic. Oh yeah, said all the right things.
Matter of factly, It's like, oh, look, this is where
they're going to want to win. Obviously, room for growth,
all these things and goes through and then eventually the
agent statement comes out talking about trust.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Now there's two big things coming off of this. Number One,
I know that Daniel Jones, he has been just taking
it in the teeth, you know, just kicks to the teeth.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
All day long.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
He stakes Dad je Daniel Jones will be absolutely fine
this year. I told you the Colts are my long
shot Super Bowl pick, like a team that can come
out of nowhere and win because they're just that talented
across the board.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They have great running back, they have great weapons at
wide receiver, their offensive line is good, they made improvements
to their defense in the offseason. The division isn't great,
but the Colts clearly have enough and Daniel Jones has
shown at times, hey, I can flesh. I know how
to run a team like this that's gonna move the ball.
Down the field with mind numbing consistency, and we're gonna
(24:53):
get in the end zone. Not that suddenly the Colts
are gonna be a thirty five point team, but the
Colts need somebody that they can trust. That's the biggest
thing at quarterback. You gotta have somebody you can trust.
And the Colts saying we can't trust you want to
talk about trust being a word from Richardson's agent. They
can't trust that Richardson is gonna be consistent enough. We'll
move the ball enough, won't turn the ball over enough, right,
(25:13):
because a guy hasn't played enough football. And so it's
easy to see that. This is why Daniel Jones is
the quarterback. And he's going to be fine. Look, he's efficient.
He's gonna the old John Facende line from all the
NFL films, Bob greasy, like the chauffeur of a large limousine,
content to let the parts do the driving. Daniel Jones
will let the parts do the driving. He'll scramble for
(25:35):
when he needs to now and again. He'll throw the
football downfield now and again. He'll be one out of
every twelve passes will be a fifty yard at Alec Pierce,
but this is a offense that he is meant to handle.
They will be absolutely fine with him. Their preseason offense
is vanilla. It's all good, right. This is gonna be
a team that will surprise you with how efficient their
offense is. And it's not like Danny Dimes is suddenly
(25:57):
gonna be thrown for three to fifty a week. But
this offense will be mind numbingly efficient. They will move
the football. Daniel Jones is their quarterback, and by the
time we get to week three, week four, we're gonna say, boy,
they really made the right call with Daniel Jones over
Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Just comes down to you know, there was a lot
of discussion of the well, it's obvious they're tanking. I
saw that a number of times, like, well, if they
were tanking, then wouldn't you put the the guy that's
been erratic, that's asked out of games, that has struggled.
And look, it's well documented how few snaps Anthony Richardson's
taken between his time.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
In college and all the way through.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I mean, we're not talking about a guy with a
ton of snaps, a lot of throws and opportunity. He
also asked out of a game. I don't know that
you ever get past that one in the locker room.
You gotta win guys over again after that, and then
coming back into camp. If it's a you know, ty
goes to the runner. In theory, it should be your
first round pick. But you bring in Daniel Jones, who
(26:54):
had a little bit of success in the past. Injuries
derailed some things. Obviously the Giants haven't exams actually been
the model of consistency here these last couple of years.
But you go into a situation Stiken perhaps a little
bit on the hot seat, needing to show that he
can win some games as opposed to, Hey, we're trying
to grow again with Richardson, and yeah, for his agent,
(27:15):
I understand it's year three, right, We're at the point
where for a lot of guys we're talking, depending on
the team of hey, we're looking forward to the extension. Well,
clearly with Anthony Richardson, you're a no man's land in
that regard. It's a clear and obvious no if you
were to have to put pen to paper today. But
for Daniel Jones, with that offense and all the things
(27:35):
you outlined there with Jonathan Taylor in the backfield. You
got enough weapons in that division be at least competitive.
Houston's not running away and hiding. Jacksonville's a wish and
a prayer, a right Trevor Lawrence looks the part and
out of central casting. But is it ever gonna work?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
And then obviously Tennessee cam Ward, we've heard a lot
in camp. We've talked about it last week. Folks can
go find the podcast. The quietest number one draft pick
ever and which is great for him. Just go to work.
You don't have to worry about it. But all that
to say for Indianapolis, they're one hundred to one to
win the super Bowl, so you can go get your
long odds and have fun with it. But winning the
(28:14):
division is certainly not out of the question. If Daniel
Jones is just adequate, if he plays above average with
the number of weapons, Now you don't have an a lister, no,
but you don't have a top guy like they're all
third fourth wide receivers when we look at it for
fantasy purposes. But you drafted a tight end who's going
to be a beast right off the jump. You might
be your target leader. Got a good running that good
(28:36):
old line, not the line of five years ago. But
all of that to say, Daniel Jones, if he doesn't
throw up on himself.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
You're playing meaningful football in December.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, it's an easy choice, right, And to show you
that the fact that this quarterback competition was quote close,
Like you see all the people that have that have
been chronicling this for Indianapolis Star and said, hey, Richardson's
had a good camp, right, It's not like Richardson's been
terrible and there's no choice. The fact that Richardson had
(29:06):
a good camp and still the colt said Danny Dimes
is our guy. I mean, the fact tells you. It
tells you exactly what they think that I don't know
that that this wasn't something that the only way Richardson
could have won this job was to be absolutely lights
out way better than Daniel Jones. That's the only way
he's winning is to show us that he's mastering everything
(29:27):
at this point in his NFL career. And when it
was just good enough, it's okay, we can trust Daniel Jones.
We still can't trust Anthony Richardson. And I root for
the guy.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
I mean, obviously the opt out I'm tired. Thing was
a tough look. But otherwise it's the guy we saw
flash when he was at Florida, and it's like, all right,
this could work. Let's wish and hope, but you can't
force a guy with that few a starts. Like the
stats bear out time and time again that this just
(29:55):
doesn't go from A to B.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That fast, telling you reason why either Colts are my
long shot to pick Danny Dives. Uh time not to
find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
So someone who's been called the Anthony Richardson of Fox
Sports Radio, okay, because a few weeks ago he said, Hey,
I'm tired, I'm asking out of this update.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
We let him go home. It's Steve de Sega, and.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
My asient is going to get a hold of you
and saying, I'm not sure what kind of a future
we have here. That Yankee game that you referenced earlier
in the hour, Aaron Judge did hit his fourth fortieth homer,
but after a rain delay at the start at Tampa Bay,
it is now six to two Yanks at the Rays
bottom of the third. Yankees hit three straight homers in
the top of the first Judged, then Bellinger, then Stan.
(30:40):
They get a two run shot from somebody else in
the lineup the next inning, Jazz Chisholm was now homered. Yes,
that's five in three innings for New York at the
Spring Training Stadium, which by the way, is the Yankee
Spring Training Field Tampa, Florida, where they're playing tonight. The
Cubs are leading the second of a doubleheader against the
Brewers for to one, top of the ninth, going a
sweep because they already beat Milwaukee Ones today six to four.
(31:03):
They made up a rainout from a couple of months
ago during this series, so this is a five game series.
Kyle Tucker not playing for the Cubs, getting a few
games off. He's betted one ninety five since the start
of July. Saint Louis won at Miami seven to four
attend and seven thy six twelve. Detroit had a great
pitcher's duel against Houston. Trek Schooble against Hunter Brown in
(31:25):
ten innings. The Tigers took it one nothing on a
basis loaded walk, no decision for Schooble. He had ten
strikeouts in seven innings. Philadelphia got Kyle Schwarber's forty fourth
homer of the year and beat Seattle six to four.
J T Rail moved to a two run shot bottom
of the eighth for the lead. The Mets won eight
one at Washington, winning pitcher David Peterson ten strikeouts in
(31:46):
eight innings. Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez went on the injured
list with a spring thumb.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Hey, ask me how many times David Peterson has pitched
into the eighth inning this year?
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Ask me, go ahead, how many times has this guy
pitched into this five?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Ask me how many times any other Mets pitcher is
pitching to the eighth inning?
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Not including Ron Darling. Zero run. And then there's a
White Sox game.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah wow, let it Atlanta ten to four after six innings,
Braves eleven ten.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
The final.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
It was the A's winning six to three at Minnesota.
The Royals have won five in a row. They won
five to two over Texas Blue Jays, a seven to
three winner in their game at Pittsburgh, and that was
Smax Scherzer by the way, getting the win going six
innings with just one run allowed. Also in progress, We've
got the Reds ahead of the Angels three to one.
(32:39):
In the bottom of the fourth. The Reds were just
a game out of the last NL wildcard spot behind
the Mets. To start the day. The Dodger shoheo Tanius.
It is forty fourth home run. The Dodger lead eight
to four at Colorado. The game is in the top
of the seventh Padres and Giants are tied one to
one in the top of the fourth inning, and it
looks like the Cubs game is final for one. The
(33:00):
Cubs do sweep Milwaukee. The Colts named Daniel Jones as
their starting quarterback for the season. The Saints are due
to name their starter after Saturday's exhibition finale, either Spencer
Rattler or Tyler Shuck. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Back Archie Manning. He's talking again, you never know.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Yeah, what was that guy Brooks from thirty years ago?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
He had some Brooks? Yes, exactly, Yeah, bring him on back, sure, Brooks,
Bobby a Bear. Yeah, Brooks was here.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
I'm guessing Brooks is in about the same shape as
Matthew Stafford currently, so there may be and.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
DJ clearly Brooks is now done as a quarterback TJ.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
The Rams could use Albert Brooks at the at the
time being a thing. Stafford did practice again despite the
bad back. They're not saying so much about his future,
but at least he's been on the field. Browns quarterback
Kenny Pickett took part in team drills after a hamstring injury.
Forty nine Ers backup QB Mac Jones is out this
week with a sprain knee, so quarterback Nate Sudfield was
signed by San Francisco and among the five WNBA games tonight,
(33:59):
New York hat Hold beat Minnesota eighty five seventy five,
a Minnesota team that had been twenty eight and five.
Sabrina Ynescu had a late four point play. She finished
five of eighteen shooting from the floor for seventeen points
eleven assists.

It is a huge five year anniversary that we will
(34:34):

and debate.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
That's next. Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Time out for the play of the Day.
Play Today brought to you buy tie iraq dot com.
For over forty years, ti Rack's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
(35:10):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti raq
dot com. He is the way tire buying should be. Well,
believe it or not, what we're doing is we are
going to be talking about something that celebrated its fifth
anniversary today and it's one of the big Internet memes
sayings that people have been trotting out ever since this happened,
(35:33):
because it was five years ago today. Then Red's broadcaster
Tom Brenneman got caught in a hot mic saying something
that you can't say on television.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
He got in a lot of trouble. It became a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I remember us talking about it throughout the night and
wasn't sure if he was going to be able to
stay I couldn't believe he was still broadcasting the game
in the third, fourth and fifth inning. And then finally
the controversy became such a big deal in the Reds realize, Oh,
this guy just has had a real bad homophobic slur
and why are we letting him continue to work. They
told him, you have to leave the game. So as
(36:08):
Tom Brenneman tried to apologize for what he said and
let everybody know that he is leaving the broadcast booth,
he let slip this which has lived in infamy for
the past five years.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
I pride myself and think of myself as a man
of faith. As there's a drive in a deep left
field by Castianos, it will be a home run and
so that'll make it a four to nothing ball game.
I don't know if I would be putting on this
headset again, but I.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Want to let you know Castianos with a deep drive
to love that it's become such a punchline. And look,
obviously brennanman lost his job, lost his job with Fox.
He is he did a lot to try to make
his way back, and see simply it took him a
long time, but the last couple of years been doing
college football for the CWU. Nick Castianos has had a
great career, and I read today was really weird seeing
(37:02):
all the different times he is homeward at really somber
moments where people have been saying so like people just
saying things somberly, like real serious moments. The casti aanols
run hits a home run. But this whole thing from
Brenneman right like, like the the topic was one thing,
but then this attempted apology in which he you know,
he wants a play by play guy, always a play
(37:24):
by play guy. I mean, staring the end of his
career in the face. He decided, oh, got to make
sure people know the Costianolds hits a home run, right like, wow, dude,
I get that, that's what you default to.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
And it was a difficult situation.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Everything is flying, but that to not have the presence
of mind to go, hey, this is the most important
thing here. Someone will tell you if someone hits a
home run, I will I will apologize it. But the
fact that he goes on and he says, here's a
deep drudge left by Costianold's it became a punchline and
Tom Brenneman became a punchline, and you know so much
(37:57):
so that if he doesn't say that, if he gives
a big apology, right, he gives a big apology for
what he said, and it was you know and listen,
and obviously he goes away, he'll lose it. He would
lose his gigs. But after disappearing for a while and
doing the right things to try to make your way back,
which he did, he would have resurfaced a lot sooner
(38:18):
like he was doing like high school baseball, I think,
for a while and is trying to get back in.
But that became such a punchline, and and that whole
deep drive by Costaiano's that held him back. And if
he had just given a straight apology, it would have
been Okay, well, dude, you said this, you're gonna lose
your job. You're gonna show us that you've made a mistake,
and then you'll be able to get back in.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
And do it, because the guy was a great broadcaster.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Had that not happened, had he not been the deep
drive to left thing, he gets back in quicker because
he's shown that Liz I did the wrong. He met
with a lot of LGBTQ community that everybody that has
been interviewed in the last five years that he's don't
done so much work to try to get back in
in the and and learn and and and be a
better person. That would have been it would have been
a faster move for him. But that thing, because it
(39:03):
became such a comedic element that people put in their
tweets all the time. Still in a serious moment, say
a deep drive left by costians like that held him
back from getting back faster and to a higher level
of broadcast. So you think about the pantheon of those
kind of moments in broadcasting, what do we have The
boom goes the Dynamite guy, right, the dead pant like
that was the thing for a while, and boom goes
(39:25):
to dynamond cartoons, you name it. It showed up everywhere,
and then this from Brenneman.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Became the ubiquitous. All right, how do we take an
awkward moment? Okay, that's the meme. Yeah, and it lived
and circulated. Right, if it's just the apology fade, the
black inning ends, or even just finished the apology, put
the bow on it and then say all right, to
catch you up what you've seen, what you've heard here
(39:51):
we go would have been done, but you're in broadcaster
mode still. You know, the red lights on and you're
I mean, I grew up on guys that that was
their whole bit, right, Harry Carey in the middle of
telling you and spinning a yarn. Oh there's a bouncing
ball the second base and then he gets the out
(40:11):
and you go right back to telling the story. I mean,
that's so trained and learned that And I mean that's
the unfortunate part for Brenneman is that in that moment
it was be at your most vulnerable and human in
acknowledging the error, but your brain is still telling you.
Until they take that headset off of you, you're doing
(40:32):
the job. And yes, it made it for a much
longer and more circuitous route. He was doing some morning
radio in addition to those games on the CW where
he actually had a guy named castillanis.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
That he had to call it no, no, that was
that was Syracuse Boston College. Yeah, that was Syrius Boston
College on the CW last year where he says, and
the quarterback for Boston College they will be Costeano's how
about that?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Like, oh okay, now, we're throwing now, we're throwing a
little fun.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Thing at this when Thomas and the thing is, I
think Thomas Castiano's got hurt in the middle of the
game and a backup came in and beat Syracuse.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
It was awful.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Thanks for that, man, Uh Floyd, for you, David telling everybody.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Rod here we go go cues.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Uh. So, you know he was at that he was
at that point, but had that not become that meme
and that not stayed in everybody's in everybody's consciousness. He
gets back faster, you know. He Okay, this didn't just
go away. This is always stayed kind of top of
mind because of it, always lived on the internet. Still
does ye exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome?

It's because all the powers in Tampa. Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
The Yankees after a rain delay in the top of
the first inning against Tampa Bay go back to back
to back with home runs. They have already hit four
home runs on the day. Judge, Bellinger and Stanton go
back to back to back in the first inning. This
is my dad's greatest day of the year. Like, there's
(02:26):
other things that could happen like that, but this is
his great God could come down and say, hey, I'm
gonna fix your your shoulder so there's no more arthritis
in it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Lets you play around of golf.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
No, my dad, no, give me back to back to
back home runs in the top of the first inning.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
All things right with the world, if only for a moment. Look,
it's been one hundred degrees every day in the greater
Tampa area for a while, so the extra power probably needed.
I think that grid's been overworked with people in their
their air conditioners. But yeah, the powers supply at at nauseum.
Did I you talk about the Yankees? We we were
(03:02):
talking before the show. Otani home run one hundred and
sixteen miles an hour exit velocity. He was only plus
one hundred, so what fifty to fifty proposition?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And then Schwarber says, yeah, take that, I got one too. Well,
you know, listen.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Rob Mafford's coming around in the fact that, Okay, we
could talk about realignment, and we could talk about adding
playoff teams, and we can talk about, you know, expansion,
but okay, everybody likes home runs.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Let's make sure we have more home runs.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
What else do we need? We need guys to hit
down right? Sure, the Schwarber noe I'm gonna steal from
Steve de Sager, from Sarah Langs the great fifteen straight
series that Schwarber's homer at least once, Yeah, tying Sammy
Sos for second all time. Mark McGuire in nineteen ninety
six did it in twenty straight series.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Think about that. That's the event for McGuire. Set the
home run right right two years?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, I mean ninety six to and then ninety eight
Sammy was ridiculous. But yeah, a lot of activity on
the i'mond and the White Sox blowing a lead.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So I'm doing everything I can to.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Channel it into positivity for other teams and players and
for your dad. Sure, so have the Tuesday Walt, because
my dad needs the positivity. Because we talked earlier in
the day, things not so rosy for the Yankees as
it is now because apparently you know, as you sent
me the text earlier today bold strategy.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Let's see if it works out.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Uh, there seems to be a disconnect between Aaron Judge
and Aaron Boone, So Judge and Boone or I don't know,
but that sounds like a really successful country music duo
Judge and Boone. I'm going to see judging boom or
Boone and Judge. We'll be better Judge and Boone. Yeah,
judgeing Boone, Well, we just call him Judge.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Boone to see judging Boone go to We just called
him Judge Booon.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Judge and book go to the Judge of Boone concept.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Like, I feel like they should be doing the bootscoot
and boogie Judge and Boone doing the bootscoot.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
And boogie, going up hitting home.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Ron's gotten the boot scooting boogie Judge, I'm just finger
around the bases.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I like that. Yeah, I really like that dance that
they do.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
What's the one where you I don't know what it's
called where you hold your belt buckle and you just
like kick and you keep your your your body is
straight and you kick your feet out to the side,
Like I don't know what that dance is called. But
that's incredibly difficult to do.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's a lighter variation of running in place. Okay, all right?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Uh so Judge and Boone uh not on the same page. Look,
if you have any doubt that Aaron Boone is circling
the drain as Yankee manager. So since Aaron Judge's injury,
he's been designated hitter for the Yankees. And of course,
y know, look, Judges is a is a plus outfielder.
He's a plus center fielder. I mean when he's not,
(05:41):
you know, taking his eye off the ball because Key
k Hernandez is a second base Oh sorry, is it
too soon?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Was it too soon for that?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Is that what they're commemorating Key k Hernandez bobblehead Day?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
When he comes back to the team next week?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, you see the big love and the ball drop.
Uh So when is Judge gonna get back in and playing.
Aaron Boone did an interview and he said, you know,
I don't know if his arm is gonna get back
to where it is because of his injury. And you know,
is he gonna have an eighty arm, which is the
baseball term for a plus arm. And is he gonna
get back to where he's at. Well, I don't know
(06:13):
that's what's gonna happen. And Aaron Judge took real umbrage,
like complete total dolorous umbrage with Aaron Boone saying I
don't know if his arm is gonna be the same
this year. Like it seemed to me a big overreaction
because basically, what Aaron Boone is trying to say, look, yeah,
I don't know is he gonna be the same he's
coming off an injury. Is he gonna be the same
(06:35):
when he goes back out there in the outfield. That
that that's not something that is that seems to be
that there's a red flag. That's not something that seems
to me like, hey, he meant something bad by it.
But Aaron Judge turned it into something by saying, I
don't know why he would say that. You know, I'm
getting ready to go back out there. So all of
a sudden, Aaron Judge turned this into a thing by saying,
(06:55):
I don't know why Aaron Boone would say that. And
so of course Aaron Boone had to do an interview
and say, whoa, whoa wa, it's not what I meant, whoa,
whoa wa. I'm not upsetting our best player. I'm not
upsetting the guy that's gonna win the MVP of the
American legu.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Whoa, whoa whoa.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Listen, do it, Gabriel. We know what you meant. I'm
an entertainer when I do these interviews. Okay, I don't
mean Aaron can throw. I'm an entertainer.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
If this doesn't tell you that Aaron Boon is circling
the days till the end of the season until there's
a change of manager, nothing else does. Because Judge and
the rest of the Yankees and everybody else, they're all
sick of the same narrative, which is the Yankees play
like little leaguers. Right, what did Clint Frazier say? They
do too much stuff and mess blank up and they
don't fundamentally they're not a good team. And this wears
(07:38):
on you right when you were when you're when you're
a professional baseball player and you get told you stak well,
that comes to the territory when you get told you
guys are bad fundamentally, you can't make plays, you're like
little leaguers. That is something that sticks through, and that's
that's something that players go, Okay, yes, we have to
have pride in what we do. But when if we're
not playing good fundamentally, it always goes back to if
you're not good fundamentally, it's because you're not being taught
(08:01):
the right way to be fundamental. Now, granted, what's the
manager responsible for in modern day of making sure fundamentally
a team is good. Yeah, obviously they're the magic in
charge of things. But it's a little bit less. Because
it's baseball. You should know, Hey, this is where I'm
going to cut off. This is what's here. This is
what's here. But it's about accountability. It's about holding team
to a standard. It's about not letting a storyline fester.
(08:22):
And this Yankees little leaguer story festered since the fifth
inning of Game five of the World Series last year
and that has not gone away. And you can tell
just by Aaron Judge, because this is this is pretty
innocuous of Aaron Boone saying, hey, you know, I hope
he's back. We don't want to hurt him. This is
this is basically Aaron Boone just saying, hey, we want
to make sure we protect him. We're hoping his arm
(08:43):
is still as good as it is the short term
because he's had the injury. And Aaron Judge, I don't
know why he would say that. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This
tells you how harmonious things are in Yankee Land. And
as I said, if the Yankees we're getting we're getting
middle of August now and to August. Yankees are starting
to win again now, so it seems like it's okay.
But uh, if they fall a couple of games out
of what they will get rid of Aaron Boone. And
(09:04):
no matter what you look, at the end of this year,
it is not trending well. This will be Aaron Boone's
final year. The roars for him are just so much
around the team and the fact that this will be
eight plus years now without a World Series, and the
fact that things aren't getting better and the team seems
to be tuning them out and because there's no fundamental improvement. Yeah,
(09:25):
this is enjoy watching Aaron Boone manage the Yankees. This
is the last year you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
To do it.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I mean, the Judge error in the World Series was
the icing gown on the cake. Because we'd watched it
all year long, It's what we're talking about a lot
when we talk about the Dodgers this year, right, the margins,
the ti Oscar Hernandez yesterday. And you can argue about
positioning and outfield positioning, but you know there are plays
you make, and as a professional outfielder, you gotta be
(09:51):
able to make those. The manager and the coaching staff
they try to position as best you can, so they
take some of the blame. But in the end, the owner,
this is on you to go and make plays. But
you also have to be smart in front of a microphone.
I reference Dylan Gabriel just from the Okay, he may
not have meant it, but if you open that door,
guess what a collective media is going to run through.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Particularly in New York where you're already on the.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Edge, right, Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman, they don't have
a lot of margin when they go and make public
statements about anything that might be on the line, particularly
if it involves Aaron Judge like that takes it to
a whole other place. Now you're going after the guy
who is the face of your franchise load these many
years on his end route to another MVP.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Award him and cal Raley.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I mean, he dwarfs him in all categories except Homer
and RBI, So there really shouldn't be an issue, but
as we know, it becomes a hey, what's a better
story kind of thing? But all of it, you know,
Judge eventually, you know, made some clarification points about where
he's at, getting out to one hundred and fifty feet,
feeling better, so hoping to get back out there. But
(11:00):
neither he nor Boone would have put a time tamble
on it. So even when they put their feet to
the fire, neither one of them was gonna give you
any specificity. Most of it should have been handled behind
closed doors. But you know, if you're Aaron Boone, you're
grasping at straws, and to some degree you're gonna be
looking for excuses as to why things may not be
going as swimmingly as you want. Well, Aaron, Aaron can't
get right, man. It's a nice excuse, right because you
(11:22):
got another DH, because what else you got?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You got a guy in stand that you can't do
anything but dhing. Yeah. Look it's so, I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
What are you going to alternated bats for those guys? Yeah,
he's my DH innings one, three, five, seven.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I mean, look of all the big drama in baseball
the past couple weeks with the trade deadline and teams
that have taken off from the trade deadline, teams that stunk,
teams that stunk it. Now potentially you're back up the
Dodgers with a big win this weekend over at big
sweep over the Padres. Looks like they're gonna beat the
Rocky tonight, but still some time left to go. The
saga of the Yankees falling and treading water and they
(11:57):
are just trying to They're that the character in the
movie that says, look, I'm just trying to make it
day to day, right that that's the movie or TV
character that you know, just making it to the end
of the day and getting to go to bed and
coming up the next day.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Like we are.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
It's all I can do just to make it to
the next day. And that's kind of what the Yankees are.
It's all they can do just to keep it going
from day to day. With the season has been full
of disappointments and bad play and questions about your manager
and your moves of the deadline and your now your
star player seems to be at odds with your manager
like it is every single day, and it's just enough.
(12:33):
Let me just get through today, But what about two weeks? No, no, no,
just we got today and then I'll worry about tomorrow.
That's the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
We look go series to series, game to game. What
are we getting out of our pitching staff? Which is
a whole other area of concern as you flow through,
as most teams are at this point. There's not a
lot of continuity consistency across the rotations in Major League Baseball.
But certainly when you look at a guy with the
impact of Aaron Joud and trying to figure out how
(13:01):
you get him back out in the outfield again, you know,
you go team to team. You watched as much baseball
as I have. We watch it every night here in
this studio. I mean, how many times are you shaking
your head at fundamentals? We're watching that White Sox Atlanta game.
All right, it was ten to nine, all this stuff.
The Braves load the bases, nobody out. Michael Harris goes
in bunts straight back to the mound. All right, you
(13:25):
get the foce out at home plate. They do a
shot to the Braves dugout. They had to make sure
everybody's back was it and you could just watch the
animated heads because if you would mouthed in the words.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You would have fcc fins.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Even if you couldn't audibly hear what they were saying,
they were losing their minds. Now, eventually, a fat curveball
that hangs in the zone ends up getting hit for
a double to right field. So the point is moot,
and the Braves ended up taking the lead. But it
was just one of those what are we doing? Like
I like a bunt as much as anybody. I think
(13:57):
it's an underutilized part of the game. However, there are circumstances.
There are teams, there's down distance whatever we've seen it
in the outfield, we see it, you know, in the
infield and making decision which base are you going to
cut off?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Man?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
As you alluded to earlier, all of these things. It's
like it's Major League baseball, and in basketball we bemoan
in the existence of AAU all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Do we do we start blaming travel ball?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
And at nowhere in the minor leagues, these guys learn
these little things, or managers who have been there eight
to ten years.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
In New York. Don't know when to shut their damn mouth.
Where do you learn that one? Jason, bring me.
Speaker 1 (14:38):

So it's one of my friends had a birthday the
other day and he was and he was and he
turned forty nine. So I'm in the storm in CVS
to pick out a card for him. And he plays
video games and you know, he's the video games, movies, sports,
you know everything. So I'm like, okay, so I'm in
the I'm in the aisle and it's one of those
music cards where you play it and it says have

it you know, uh, you know, save the Princess on
your birthday. And it's a Super Mario and you press
the button on the card and it plays the da
d D D D D done dun dud.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I'm like, listen, hey, the gift card is going to
be a few less dollars because I put ten dollars
on this card. So I press play and I play
it and I'm like oh, and then it says on
the back it said. I'm like, oh, this is going
I look back and I see it says hey, hold
down on it to hear the closing song too, because
it does a da U D D D D D.
But it also does the we when you die go
dude it Wow, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
So I play it, and so I play it again.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Don Dent dunnis So it does it for like ten
seconds and I hold on down to it and.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
It plays a boo did it and it stops. I'm like, oh,

and the press play at the end and it plays
it again and it plays the closing So I finally
goes DD and this ten year old kid who was
standing I didn't even notice was was like ten feet
away from me.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Year old kid turns and goes, you're gonna play that again?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I was thinking you activated the uh you know, the
super soldier in somewhere in the pharmacy or something, and
he came out attack it comes out.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
With a mallet like Mario, and he's just pounding at me.
Here come the birds are jumping up and down. Giants
shoulder tag jump out on top of a vulture. It
turns into it. You close the shell and it goes
and knocks.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
It body over. Well he is at ten year old kid,
you gonna play that again? I'm like, and I actually,
are you asking me to do it?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I said, well, the first one might have been broken,
so I had to go to this one. Okay, I'm
like this, that's like a sitcom moment where I'm like,
all right, but.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
He was you really did want to play it again?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Though?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I did, Yeah, and and and and I'm not going
to confirm it to night, but when I was walking
to the front that I played again.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah I did. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
The kid at this point, I was hoping that when
he got the card it would still work. I didn't
know if maybe I had used up the number of
button button pushes that it's not going to work. After that, Wow,
not working? Well, you can't expect him to hang around
all the time. It's like the double doore.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He's busy.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Hey, Happy Birthday? Was this card supposed to play something good,
damn it. I had a dog, you know what. I
tested it in the in the in the in CBS,
and I got it. How many times you test it?
Like nine and it played every single time. So I
didn't play for you for your birthday. That's my fault.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
But I'll sing it for you.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
So Daniel Jones, as we told you, was going to
win the Annapolis Colts quarterback derby. He has today Shaneestike
and making the decision that Daniel Jones is his guy,
And a little bit of a wrinkle in it is
that I want him to know he's our guy this season,
all right. He doesn't want to go into every week
going after seventeen straight in completions in the third quarter.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Was there a thought of going to Anthony at that point?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Not gonna do it, and so much so that Anthony
Richardson's agent said following the decision today, we have to
take a look and see what his future with the
Colts is because clearly it doesn't look like there's one,
and obviously there's not one. The guy was taking the
top ten of the draft and he can't win, can't
win the quarterback job, and he can't stay healthy. I'm
pretty sure this is a sign that the Colts are
(23:48):
moving on from Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I'll tell you what thought Anthony in front of the
microphone was fantastic. Oh yeah, said all the right things.
Matter of factly, It's like, oh, look, this is where
they're going to want to win. Obviously, room for growth,
all these things and goes through and then eventually the
agent statement comes out talking about trust.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Now there's two big things coming off of this. Number One,
I know that Daniel Jones, he has been just taking
it in the teeth, you know, just kicks to the teeth.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
All day long.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
He stakes Dad je Daniel Jones will be absolutely fine
this year. I told you the Colts are my long
shot Super Bowl pick, like a team that can come
out of nowhere and win because they're just that talented
across the board.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They have great running back, they have great weapons at
wide receiver, their offensive line is good, they made improvements
to their defense in the offseason. The division isn't great,
but the Colts clearly have enough and Daniel Jones has
shown at times, hey, I can flesh. I know how
to run a team like this that's gonna move the ball.
Down the field with mind numbing consistency, and we're gonna
(24:53):
get in the end zone. Not that suddenly the Colts
are gonna be a thirty five point team, but the
Colts need somebody that they can trust. That's the biggest
thing at quarterback. You gotta have somebody you can trust.
And the Colts saying we can't trust you want to
talk about trust being a word from Richardson's agent. They
can't trust that Richardson is gonna be consistent enough. We'll
move the ball enough, won't turn the ball over enough, right,
(25:13):
because a guy hasn't played enough football. And so it's
easy to see that. This is why Daniel Jones is
the quarterback. And he's going to be fine. Look, he's efficient.
He's gonna the old John Facende line from all the
NFL films, Bob greasy, like the chauffeur of a large limousine,
content to let the parts do the driving. Daniel Jones
will let the parts do the driving. He'll scramble for
(25:35):
when he needs to now and again. He'll throw the
football downfield now and again. He'll be one out of
every twelve passes will be a fifty yard at Alec Pierce,
but this is a offense that he is meant to handle.
They will be absolutely fine with him. Their preseason offense
is vanilla. It's all good, right. This is gonna be
a team that will surprise you with how efficient their
offense is. And it's not like Danny Dimes is suddenly
(25:57):
gonna be thrown for three to fifty a week. But
this offense will be mind numbingly efficient. They will move
the football. Daniel Jones is their quarterback, and by the
time we get to week three, week four, we're gonna say, boy,
they really made the right call with Daniel Jones over
Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Just comes down to you know, there was a lot
of discussion of the well, it's obvious they're tanking. I
saw that a number of times, like, well, if they
were tanking, then wouldn't you put the the guy that's
been erratic, that's asked out of games, that has struggled.
And look, it's well documented how few snaps Anthony Richardson's
taken between his time.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
In college and all the way through.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I mean, we're not talking about a guy with a
ton of snaps, a lot of throws and opportunity. He
also asked out of a game. I don't know that
you ever get past that one in the locker room.
You gotta win guys over again after that, and then
coming back into camp. If it's a you know, ty
goes to the runner. In theory, it should be your
first round pick. But you bring in Daniel Jones, who
(26:54):
had a little bit of success in the past. Injuries
derailed some things. Obviously the Giants haven't exams actually been
the model of consistency here these last couple of years.
But you go into a situation Stiken perhaps a little
bit on the hot seat, needing to show that he
can win some games as opposed to, Hey, we're trying
to grow again with Richardson, and yeah, for his agent,
(27:15):
I understand it's year three, right, We're at the point
where for a lot of guys we're talking, depending on
the team of hey, we're looking forward to the extension. Well,
clearly with Anthony Richardson, you're a no man's land in
that regard. It's a clear and obvious no if you
were to have to put pen to paper today. But
for Daniel Jones, with that offense and all the things
(27:35):
you outlined there with Jonathan Taylor in the backfield. You
got enough weapons in that division be at least competitive.
Houston's not running away and hiding. Jacksonville's a wish and
a prayer, a right Trevor Lawrence looks the part and
out of central casting. But is it ever gonna work?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
And then obviously Tennessee cam Ward, we've heard a lot
in camp. We've talked about it last week. Folks can
go find the podcast. The quietest number one draft pick
ever and which is great for him. Just go to work.
You don't have to worry about it. But all that
to say for Indianapolis, they're one hundred to one to
win the super Bowl, so you can go get your
long odds and have fun with it. But winning the
(28:14):
division is certainly not out of the question. If Daniel
Jones is just adequate, if he plays above average with
the number of weapons, Now you don't have an a lister, no,
but you don't have a top guy like they're all
third fourth wide receivers when we look at it for
fantasy purposes. But you drafted a tight end who's going
to be a beast right off the jump. You might
be your target leader. Got a good running that good
(28:36):
old line, not the line of five years ago. But
all of that to say, Daniel Jones, if he doesn't
throw up on himself.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
You're playing meaningful football in December.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, it's an easy choice, right, And to show you
that the fact that this quarterback competition was quote close,
Like you see all the people that have that have
been chronicling this for Indianapolis Star and said, hey, Richardson's
had a good camp, right, It's not like Richardson's been
terrible and there's no choice. The fact that Richardson had
(29:06):
a good camp and still the colt said Danny Dimes
is our guy. I mean, the fact tells you. It
tells you exactly what they think that I don't know
that that this wasn't something that the only way Richardson
could have won this job was to be absolutely lights
out way better than Daniel Jones. That's the only way
he's winning is to show us that he's mastering everything
(29:27):
at this point in his NFL career. And when it
was just good enough, it's okay, we can trust Daniel Jones.
We still can't trust Anthony Richardson. And I root for
the guy.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
I mean, obviously the opt out I'm tired. Thing was
a tough look. But otherwise it's the guy we saw
flash when he was at Florida, and it's like, all right,
this could work. Let's wish and hope, but you can't
force a guy with that few a starts. Like the
stats bear out time and time again that this just
(29:55):
doesn't go from A to B.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That fast, telling you reason why either Colts are my
long shot to pick Danny Dives. Uh time not to
find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
So someone who's been called the Anthony Richardson of Fox
Sports Radio, okay, because a few weeks ago he said, Hey,
I'm tired, I'm asking out of this update.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
We let him go home. It's Steve de Sega, and.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
My asient is going to get a hold of you
and saying, I'm not sure what kind of a future
we have here. That Yankee game that you referenced earlier
in the hour, Aaron Judge did hit his fourth fortieth homer,
but after a rain delay at the start at Tampa Bay,
it is now six to two Yanks at the Rays
bottom of the third. Yankees hit three straight homers in
the top of the first Judged, then Bellinger, then Stan.
(30:40):
They get a two run shot from somebody else in
the lineup the next inning, Jazz Chisholm was now homered. Yes,
that's five in three innings for New York at the
Spring Training Stadium, which by the way, is the Yankee
Spring Training Field Tampa, Florida, where they're playing tonight. The
Cubs are leading the second of a doubleheader against the
Brewers for to one, top of the ninth, going a
sweep because they already beat Milwaukee Ones today six to four.
(31:03):
They made up a rainout from a couple of months
ago during this series, so this is a five game series.
Kyle Tucker not playing for the Cubs, getting a few
games off. He's betted one ninety five since the start
of July. Saint Louis won at Miami seven to four
attend and seven thy six twelve. Detroit had a great
pitcher's duel against Houston. Trek Schooble against Hunter Brown in
(31:25):
ten innings. The Tigers took it one nothing on a
basis loaded walk, no decision for Schooble. He had ten
strikeouts in seven innings. Philadelphia got Kyle Schwarber's forty fourth
homer of the year and beat Seattle six to four.
J T Rail moved to a two run shot bottom
of the eighth for the lead. The Mets won eight
one at Washington, winning pitcher David Peterson ten strikeouts in
(31:46):
eight innings. Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez went on the injured
list with a spring thumb.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Hey, ask me how many times David Peterson has pitched
into the eighth inning this year?
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Ask me, go ahead, how many times has this guy
pitched into this five?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Ask me how many times any other Mets pitcher is
pitching to the eighth inning?
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Not including Ron Darling. Zero run. And then there's a
White Sox game.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah wow, let it Atlanta ten to four after six innings,
Braves eleven ten.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
The final.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
It was the A's winning six to three at Minnesota.
The Royals have won five in a row. They won
five to two over Texas Blue Jays, a seven to
three winner in their game at Pittsburgh, and that was
Smax Scherzer by the way, getting the win going six
innings with just one run allowed. Also in progress, We've
got the Reds ahead of the Angels three to one.
(32:39):
In the bottom of the fourth. The Reds were just
a game out of the last NL wildcard spot behind
the Mets. To start the day. The Dodger shoheo Tanius.
It is forty fourth home run. The Dodger lead eight
to four at Colorado. The game is in the top
of the seventh Padres and Giants are tied one to
one in the top of the fourth inning, and it
looks like the Cubs game is final for one. The
(33:00):
Cubs do sweep Milwaukee. The Colts named Daniel Jones as
their starting quarterback for the season. The Saints are due
to name their starter after Saturday's exhibition finale, either Spencer
Rattler or Tyler Shuck. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Back Archie Manning. He's talking again, you never know.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Yeah, what was that guy Brooks from thirty years ago?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
He had some Brooks? Yes, exactly, Yeah, bring him on back, sure, Brooks,
Bobby a Bear. Yeah, Brooks was here.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
I'm guessing Brooks is in about the same shape as
Matthew Stafford currently, so there may be and.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
DJ clearly Brooks is now done as a quarterback TJ.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
The Rams could use Albert Brooks at the at the
time being a thing. Stafford did practice again despite the
bad back. They're not saying so much about his future,
but at least he's been on the field. Browns quarterback
Kenny Pickett took part in team drills after a hamstring injury.
Forty nine Ers backup QB Mac Jones is out this
week with a sprain knee, so quarterback Nate Sudfield was
signed by San Francisco and among the five WNBA games tonight,
(33:59):
New York hat Hold beat Minnesota eighty five seventy five,
a Minnesota team that had been twenty eight and five.
Sabrina Ynescu had a late four point play. She finished
five of eighteen shooting from the floor for seventeen points
eleven assists.

and debate.

Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection

with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti raq

believe it or not, what we're doing is we are
going to be talking about something that celebrated its fifth
anniversary today and it's one of the big Internet memes
sayings that people have been trotting out ever since this happened,
(35:33):
because it was five years ago today. Then Red's broadcaster
Tom Brenneman got caught in a hot mic saying something
that you can't say on television.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
He got in a lot of trouble. It became a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I remember us talking about it throughout the night and
wasn't sure if he was going to be able to
stay I couldn't believe he was still broadcasting the game
in the third, fourth and fifth inning. And then finally
the controversy became such a big deal in the Reds realize, Oh,
this guy just has had a real bad homophobic slur
and why are we letting him continue to work. They
told him, you have to leave the game. So as
(36:08):
Tom Brenneman tried to apologize for what he said and
let everybody know that he is leaving the broadcast booth,
he let slip this which has lived in infamy for
the past five years.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
I pride myself and think of myself as a man
of faith. As there's a drive in a deep left
field by Castianos, it will be a home run and
so that'll make it a four to nothing ball game.
I don't know if I would be putting on this
headset again, but I.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Want to let you know Castianos with a deep drive
to love that it's become such a punchline. And look,
obviously brennanman lost his job, lost his job with Fox.
He is he did a lot to try to make
his way back, and see simply it took him a
long time, but the last couple of years been doing
college football for the CWU. Nick Castianos has had a
great career, and I read today was really weird seeing
(37:02):
all the different times he is homeward at really somber
moments where people have been saying so like people just
saying things somberly, like real serious moments. The casti aanols
run hits a home run. But this whole thing from
Brenneman right like, like the the topic was one thing,
but then this attempted apology in which he you know,
he wants a play by play guy, always a play
(37:24):
by play guy. I mean, staring the end of his
career in the face. He decided, oh, got to make
sure people know the Costianolds hits a home run, right like, wow, dude,
I get that, that's what you default to.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
And it was a difficult situation.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Everything is flying, but that to not have the presence
of mind to go, hey, this is the most important
thing here. Someone will tell you if someone hits a
home run, I will I will apologize it. But the
fact that he goes on and he says, here's a
deep drudge left by Costianold's it became a punchline and
Tom Brenneman became a punchline, and you know so much
(37:57):
so that if he doesn't say that, if he gives
a big apology, right, he gives a big apology for
what he said, and it was you know and listen,
and obviously he goes away, he'll lose it. He would
lose his gigs. But after disappearing for a while and
doing the right things to try to make your way back,
which he did, he would have resurfaced a lot sooner
(38:18):
like he was doing like high school baseball, I think,
for a while and is trying to get back in.
But that became such a punchline, and and that whole
deep drive by Costaiano's that held him back. And if
he had just given a straight apology, it would have
been Okay, well, dude, you said this, you're gonna lose
your job. You're gonna show us that you've made a mistake,
and then you'll be able to get back in.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
And do it, because the guy was a great broadcaster.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Had that not happened, had he not been the deep
drive to left thing, he gets back in quicker because
he's shown that Liz I did the wrong. He met
with a lot of LGBTQ community that everybody that has
been interviewed in the last five years that he's don't
done so much work to try to get back in
in the and and learn and and and be a
better person. That would have been it would have been
a faster move for him. But that thing, because it
(39:03):
became such a comedic element that people put in their
tweets all the time. Still in a serious moment, say
a deep drive left by costians like that held him
back from getting back faster and to a higher level
of broadcast. So you think about the pantheon of those
kind of moments in broadcasting, what do we have The
boom goes the Dynamite guy, right, the dead pant like
that was the thing for a while, and boom goes
(39:25):
to dynamond cartoons, you name it. It showed up everywhere,
and then this from Brenneman.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Became the ubiquitous. All right, how do we take an
awkward moment? Okay, that's the meme. Yeah, and it lived
and circulated. Right, if it's just the apology fade, the
black inning ends, or even just finished the apology, put
the bow on it and then say all right, to
catch you up what you've seen, what you've heard here
(39:51):
we go would have been done, but you're in broadcaster
mode still. You know, the red lights on and you're
I mean, I grew up on guys that that was
their whole bit, right, Harry Carey in the middle of
telling you and spinning a yarn. Oh there's a bouncing
ball the second base and then he gets the out
(40:11):
and you go right back to telling the story. I mean,
that's so trained and learned that And I mean that's
the unfortunate part for Brenneman is that in that moment
it was be at your most vulnerable and human in
acknowledging the error, but your brain is still telling you.
Until they take that headset off of you, you're doing
(40:32):
the job. And yes, it made it for a much
longer and more circuitous route. He was doing some morning
radio in addition to those games on the CW where
he actually had a guy named castillanis.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
That he had to call it no, no, that was
that was Syracuse Boston College. Yeah, that was Syrius Boston
College on the CW last year where he says, and
the quarterback for Boston College they will be Costeano's how
about that?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Like, oh okay, now, we're throwing now, we're throwing a
little fun.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Thing at this when Thomas and the thing is, I
think Thomas Castiano's got hurt in the middle of the
game and a backup came in and beat Syracuse.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
It was awful.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Thanks for that, man, Uh Floyd, for you, David telling everybody.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Rod here we go go cues.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Uh. So, you know he was at that he was
at that point, but had that not become that meme
and that not stayed in everybody's in everybody's consciousness. He
gets back faster, you know. He Okay, this didn't just
go away. This is always stayed kind of top of
mind because of it, always lived on the internet. Still
does ye exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome?
