Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Tuesday, The Jason Smith Show with
my bas friend Mike Harmon. For over forty years, Tyrerack's

(00:53):

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Well. Here we are.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Fully taking week one of the NFL and putting it
to bed, put a nice big bow on it, looking
ahead to week two. I love this routine that we
get into. Hey Monday night, finish the week, Finish it strong.
I mean, unless you're Ben Johnson, finish it strong, just.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Because he got out coached in the second half and
JJ McCarthy looked like a superstar. Bears can't run the ball.
All the high price to acquisitions and all the awards
and extension they gave to Ryan Poles for signing a
bunch of offensive linemen didn't really seem to do a
damn bit of good. But no, hey, great, But that's
twenty four hours later. I'm a little more salty about
(01:34):
it because I went back and watched it again. Oh good,
I hated it even more good because I told you
were too happy last night. I felt like you were
still in shock after blowing that incredible lead, that that
you were celebrating. I mean you, I mean the Bears
were celebrating after they went up seventeen six, and I
thought you just didn't really understand what happened in that
last quarter and a half. You were just just got it,
just kind of blew past it, and a very a
(01:55):
in a very much how do I say, very surface.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
He way like I'm not going let it affect me,
not gonna that affect me, kind of like in in
Jerry Maguire when uh, when Kelly Preston uh and they
and he was gonna break up with her, he was,
we're breaking up. She didn't hear it. No, No, we're
breaking up. Nope, nope, didn't hear it. No, no I'm
breaking up with you, Nope, didn't hear you were kind
of the Kelly Preston. They are like, Nope, didn't hear it.
But no, Mike, you blew this. This was awful, and
Ben Johnson made a horrible stay. Yeah, no, it's okay,
(02:19):
it's okay.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
No, you were I was really thinking more. Jerry Stiller
is how I saw myself during the day. You know
that doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
No, it doesn't. And they never said that you had
to scream it. Did he say you had to yell it?
He wasn't clear. So I'm glad that a day after
you you're you're in a more of a normal response
to this.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I mean, look, I I pushed it away for the
sake of the nationwide and global audience and and to
spare your feelings, because you would have worn the brunt
of it if I started lashing out. Who's to my right,
It's you. I wasn't gonna yell at Elijah Frostburg wasn't here.
Frostburg was sign sure it was too excited about Aaron Roddy.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I just got back from Yeah, yeah, sorry, Frostburg just
landed from Brazil. Ty shirt is still He's Aaron Rodgers,
Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Snaps versus touchdowns. He must have used that line four
or five. Oh yeah, So I who could I lash
out at?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I know, I'm just telling you though, good start, but
his feelings would have gotten hurt and it would have
been bad.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I wanted you to just understand how bad that was
for you. And today watching Tyson bagent trend and Caleb
Williams trend and seeing the day after all these shadowy
reports that Caleb Williams, Oh, he's gonna be on thin ice,
Tyson Bage is coming in soon, and I'm like, wow, man,
no matter what kind of week anybody had in the NFL,
I mean, they're not talking about new quarterback yet. In Miami,
(03:43):
they're not talking about new quarterback yet. In Cleveland they're
not even talking about a new quarterback yet with the Giants.
But right away, hey, Caleb Williams who threw for two
sixty eight, ran for sixty in a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Oh, he's gonna lose his job in the next couple
of weeks. No, he made a bunch of mistakes. There
were issues, no question, that's the but not certainly not
as bad and poorly. He wasn't the only one. There's
plenty of others that deserved their share of the blame
pie starting with the head coach, and to his credit,
he wore it in the postgame press conference talking about
(04:14):
his shortcomings as a coach and the fact that they
have twelve penalties for one hundred and twenty seven yards
being a big problem, no question about it. But you
know all of the I figure all the people that
were part of that report, you know from from Tyde
Dunn and all that this weekend, it's like they were
assembled like the Legion of Doom, all those fired coaches
that decided that they needed to air their grievances because
(04:37):
it had to be the quarterback. Was it anything or
the fact that the roster was flawed?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
No, No, this is like everything, clearly just the quarter
Everybody whoever picked up a football in some sort of
organized manner should door Sanders stakes. I can't believe what
one of the brown felt like. Everybody, you're a non player.
You just need to shut your mouth. Hey, no one
likes working with you, okay, Just so you know, I
knew that. No one likes working with you. I know
a lot of No one likes you.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Only when I bring and everybody likes about like you
got cookies? No got today?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Ight?
Speaker 6 (05:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
So do you like him today? No? No, say that's
where it goes, man, No, nobody likes hey.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
In fun fact, I heard you say, Aaron Rodgers, howes
it feel to know that in his first game as
a Pittsburgh Steeler his QBR is one forty five, which
is better than any game he had as a Jet?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
How do you feel? Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
All right, Mike, keep going.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I feel like that's uh, that's that's that's really on
brand for the Jets. Yeah, it's like he lead you
right there. He keep walking up with the legs pipe
and just to her knee. He doesn't even know what
a quarterback rating is.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I do.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
It's a QBR. Okay, it's one.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It's one four out of how many out of how
one forty five out of how many?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Out of one forty five? He max out, No, no, no,
he doesn't know he did.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And Frostbrook, you don't say anything one forty five out
of how many out of one forty five. No, it's
literally said he did the best he could.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
So it's a sliding scale. Yes, quarterback to quarterback. Yes, yes,
was one forty five. What if his rating was one
thirty five, that would be the.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
It's one fifty eight and almost maxed out eight point
five point three point five point.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Three just update because of Rogers. Yeah, good, because he's
that special as a future Hall of Famer. There he's
got a higher rate.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, look, as we learned last night, AI not always right,
but AI giving ty Shirt the at least most of
the right answer with the one fish almost there. Now,
this story is just so good and I'm so glad
we get to do it tonight because it's just it's
it's everything that people think about voting processes in for MVP,
(06:36):
for the Heisman Trophy, for rankings, it's everything people think.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
About this all rolled up into one.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So the new AP pole came out today for the
College Football of Football rankings and the top three are unchanged.
Ohio State number one with a bullet fifty seven first
places votes, Penn State number two, LSU number three, Oregon
moves up to number four, Miami is fifth, then Georgia,
Texas still lurking in the top seven despite the fact
they're one in one. Okay, so there's your top three. Now,
there's a lot of attention on one specific AP voter
(07:07):
named Haley Sawyer, who covers college football here in southern California,
and she's a voter and she's getting a lot of
attention because on her ballot she had Florida at a
season high fourteenth, despite the fact they lost to South
Florida on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
She moved them up to they lost to South.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Florida, moved Florida up to in the pole, and didn't
have South Florida in the poll.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
At all, didn't rank them at all despite the fact
that they have two huge wins because they beat Boise State. Yes,
to get the thing. Not only did they beat Boise State,
they throttled Boise State.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Didn't have that in there at all. And also she
had some craziness with Auburn having them low. It's really
it's insane to see this, right, but she was playing
madly what is going on?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Right? Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
So what you're thinking and what I'm sure thing is, okay,
this is somebody And again you think voters take what
they do for a living and they take it so
seriously and it's the most serious thing they do. And
some people do and some people don't.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
But I mean, think of two guys we know very
well here around the Fox Sports radio studios, Right, Rob Parker,
his Hall of Fame vote for Major League Baseball is
the most important thing in his world. Yeah, Right. Steve Hartman,
who votes for the Heisman Trophy, like that's sacred. I
think he would rank it above his kids, Right, all
of those kind of like, yeah, so we've got you
(08:33):
guys on that end.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Of the people who do that. There are people who
take that's adjacent. Cole obviously on a Pro Football Hall
of very Good voter, right, and we joke with him,
but he's been playing very good players in the Hall
of Fame for a long.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Time, long time.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So there are a lot of people who do who
take it that seriously and that's how you should take it.
Then there's people that just take it like, eh, yeah,
uh no, I don't know how close I'm gonna pay attention.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So it was a big question today.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
It was a big like how do you have like
this is a big deal that here's here's an AP
voter that obviously didn't see the outcomes of games, and
how close do you have to watch things to show that,
Oh hey, maybe you drop Florida a little bit and
and you raise South Florida little. I mean, because you
know they did just lose the game, right, and again
she had some craziness with Auburn. It's gotten a lot
of attention. Okay, so you figure normally when this happens,
(09:19):
polsters just don't say anything, right, right, Like whoever it
was that didn't vote for each Euro Yeah, Saint Brian,
weever didn't vote for Jeter, right, I'm not gonna not
gonna vote. We won't vote for Rivera, but I won't
vote for Jeter right.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Okay. They usually stay quiet, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
We actually got the answer today because she went on
social media and put out a missive which boy, she
really should not have done. But she goes out and
puts out her response to college football fans criticizing a
rap about this is Hailey Sawyer putting this out on
social media earlier today.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
It is a run pass option.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
As far as what my votes are and what my
process is, you know, I wake up early in the
morning after covering a game late in the night, before.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Don't want to go too.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Much into my progress or process or logic, but I
will say I appreciate everybody's interaction on social media and
all of your feedback. You know, there's tons of people
that vote on the EP pole and like, it's not
a perfect system, but at the end of the day,
no matter who you picked, that's even out because there's
so many people who vote, and like I said, it's
(10:29):
really fun for discussion. It doesn't you know, probably matter
in the end, but so I'm glad that people are
having a really good time with She's playing.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
That your votes don't matter card, but you can vote,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Look, obviously with you, I'm not going to tell you
my process, and clearly your process was I didn't get it.
Look probably out late covering game the night before, understandably
out covering game the night before, probably usc they scored
like a thousand points. I think like eleven people, I'd
touchdown sure and coming back and having a game your
votes in so they can get.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
And get out and get counted. Right.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Not everybody takes the care they should with their ballot,
and I think everybody believes that I don't think this
is this is a shocking thing that it's really surprising
to see. Hey boy, it's really that bad a deal
where you can't just say, hey, let me look and
see who won who lost. I'll move them up a
couple of space. I'm down a couple of spaces. But
she says the quiet part out loud. She says that
in the end things even out and it really doesn't matter.
(11:25):
So what she has done is take this entire industry
of voting, whether it's for a Heisman Trophy or AP
or what and basically say, hey, listen, so many people vote,
it doesn't matter. Like that's the worst thing you can
you know, you want to deed what say yourself and say, hey,
you know what I did that you gotta own that.
But now you have not just embarrassed yourself in the
(11:46):
AP poll, now you said the AP pole doesn't matter.
I can't believe she'll still have a vote by this
time tomorrow because she has actually said the votes don't matter.
Whatever you vote, it's all gonna even out and in
the end it really doesn't matter. And that doesn't matter.
Part I get because we have the college football Playoff,
we have a new pole that comes out the AP
Pole is for fun.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Everybody understands that. But that quiet, pot out loud of your.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Vote doesn't matter. I don't think anyone in the country,
when it comes to anything, wants to hear their vote
doesn't matter. But now she just basically said, hey, the AP.
It doesn't we vote, but does it really matter? Let's
all go have fun today.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Everyone. Well, like there's thousands and thousands of votes out there, right,
what are we talking sixty some odd people, what is it,
sixty two, sixty five, seventies, something in that number that
actually do this vote? So we're not talking grandiose. And look,
when we heighten matchups, what are we talking the AP
because that's the poll, right, Coaches Pole, we understand it
(12:44):
was a bunch of sids and whatever like that one.
We long just kind of we've noticed that one aside.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, but for this, but no one just says, hey, sorry,
but this isn't really important.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It doesn't matter. Like it's all about television contracts and
primetime games and and putting your team in the best
light and and putting all that promotional wagon getting it
rolling down the highway. No, no, no push that. Like,
the more I listened to that clip, several times over
the course of the DAN It's like, the more and
(13:14):
more I'm like, are you just an influencer that's trying
to that somehow finagled your way into a vote and
then evidently a journalism I got to take the jay
and knock it down to a lower lower case J here, journalist,
adjunct professor, and a bunch of other stuff. So I
got to imagine those folks are a little salty about this, right,
(13:37):
You've offended multiple industries, multiple professions in this process.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Now worry about it. You know that what are you
gonna do? Voted for Florida, but doesn't matter. It's flooded Florida.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Get up there. No they didn't because nobody else voted
for them either. It doesn't matter, It'll all work out.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Your vote doesn't matter, right, That's like what you say,
like in states that leans so heavily Democrat or so
heavily Republican, like the big line when when someone like
if like, if you're in California, you're a Democrat, right,
and someone's probably, oh, I'm going Republican. The big lines, Ah,
your vote doesn't matter, or if you're in you're in
Texas and a Democrat. I'm going Democrat. Yeah, your vote
(14:15):
doesn't matter, right, Like that's like okay, like that's but
people don't want to hear that. Right, they understand that,
but they don't want to hear that. And and I
don't think any of the people that make the rules
in college football and do the polls want to have
a voter say yeah, well, well you do.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
It doesn't matter to Tim Brando. Really, I gave up
my AP vote when it was actually being used for
the BCS formula. I felt there was no way I
could condemn the process if I was part of it.
The great Beano Cook and AP had at the time,
herschel Nissensen went to bat for me to become a voter.
After college game Day was born. It wasn't quite so
easy to become a voter in those days. And then
(14:50):
he can he continues on, but.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
He's just like, well, I will be stunned if she
still has a vote tomorrow. I really I'll be stunned
if she's still still a voter. After said yeah, it's
not important.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The sanctity of the voting process has been cast asunder.
Speaker 1 (15:05):

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon as we welcome back.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Justin Frostburg from all parts of Brazil.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, first day back Chargers producing the Chargers Radio broadcast
play by play last Friday night. And luckily you weren't
here when the Dodgers won out away from a no
hitter lost the game, because I think you all the
good vibes you had for the Chargers winning would have
been right out the window.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I'm glad I wasn't here, but thanks for reminding me.
Oh I got it. I got it so well, sure,
because well, but I mean he got his big win.
Your Jets fell to Aaron Roight, what did he have, Alex?
What was that? Qbr total of see there you go?
And then I mean, obviously last night I had the Bears. Yeah,
so I mean you gotta be dragged out with the
(17:37):
rest of us.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Point, But to welcome Frostburg back here right we missed
him the last few days, and to talk about the
fact that point that Dodgers had two no hitters that
they almost were able to pull off in the last
few days, didn't get either of them. I think bringing
in Blake Trining to preserve a no hitter is not
the lame call. I just tell you know what I'm
thinking after Saturday night, it's not the right call. I
(17:59):
just I don't.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I still wish Paz would have at least made an
effort and right there, even if he couldn't have caught
the ball playing for the krem when you could have
been trying to preserve a no hitter, it's just a
terrible look.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But in that vein, we have a celebration for Frostburg
here with the Play of the Day. The Play the
Day brought to you by ti I Rack. For over
forty years, Tire Rack's been opening customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped fast
and free backed by free Road has a protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack dot
Com is the way tire buying should be. Well as
(18:31):
a near no hitter on Saturday and near no hitter
the other night. And because of that, let's go back
to this day in nineteen sixty five where one of
the Dodgers' aces did find a way to pitch a
no hitter, and Vin Scully of course was there for it.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Two and two, the Harvey Kane one strike away, Sandy
into his wind up, here's the pitch.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Swine on and this the perfect game. On the scoreboard
and right field.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
It is nine to forty six pm in the City
of the Angels, Los Angeles, California, and a crowd of
twenty nine thou thirty nine just sitting in to see
the only pitcher in baseball history to herald four no hit,
no run games. He has done it four straight years,
(19:25):
and now he kept it on his fourth no hitter.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
He made it up.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Perfect game.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Vin Scully of course on the call. And this is
not just hey, Sandy, Kofax's pitch a perfect game, right,
just to think about this for a second, right, because
this is a fun thing to think of.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
The fact that it was over the Cubs. Well, yeah,
it was over the Cubs. Harvey Keen.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Harvey dent with a strikeout. Here at Chicago, looking a
little two faced on that final pitch is Harvey Keith.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
He eventually came back with the wallbanger.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
This was the eighth perfect game in baseball history, right,
just the eighth. We'red like twenty some on now, this
was the eighth perfect game. This game was not televised.
There was no television on this game. The only call
that exists that probably still exists, is this one, because
I don't think the Cubs kept that one.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
We just we just got that perfect game.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Pronadus thrown his broadcast out, we don't need this anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I think that became more pronounced through the years. I
don't know that at that point you had the super
we don't need this.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Okay, we're gonna blow the division lead in nineteen sixty
nine to a bleep in Mets. Okay, it's gonna be terrible.
There's gonna be a black cant running across every it's
gonna be awful. Uh So the game wasn't televised, and
Scully instructed the radio team to record the final inning
of this perfect game.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
They were going to the ninth inning.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Let's record it. Like, think about how crazy that is now?
Oh oh, you think we should record the fight.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yes, it's a final letting of it's gonna be a
perfect game. Let's record this.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And he got it, and he actually gave it to
Sandy Kofex as a gift later on because nobody knows
did it still exist. Just think about a world back
then when you know you missed something on TV. You
missed it.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You couldn't get it right, you missed it. Hey, if
we don't record this, if no one else is somehow
recording this on the radio, it may not exist.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
So they recorded.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
You got the best version of it, obviously, because it
was the play by play version, not somebody you know
on a cassette deck hitting play and record at.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
The same time. And there it is, and there's your
version of Sandy Cofax is perfect game. It's amazing, right
because you think of all the old TV shows that
are gone because of the way they were recorded, and
they weren't able to be preserved properly right put on film,
which is something you know Lucy and Desi did where
it was actually on film reel to real stock, so
(21:35):
that actually survived. But all those calls that went into
the ether, it's kind of sad part of part of
that history. So we can do recreations. We can get
you know, proper representations of all those voices. You and
I could sit in a booth. Oh yeah, yeah, we
can just call all those games.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, no, it's great. And I could like foreshadow stuff too.
It'd be really cool.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Like he's sitting there with an almanac, you know, thirty
five years from now. You know.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The thing is, Armando Gallaad has got a really hustle.
If there's a ground ball to cover first base, you
really want to get there ahead of the throw because
you never know what could happen. Here's the two and two. Well,
you have to wonder if Jim Joyce is in the
right spot to find out where this ball's gonna go.
He looks like he could be a little bit to
the side.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Did you see the manager trying to shade him over it?
You don't know what could happen here. Uh, you know,
i'd like to see.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I really think that if you're the if you're the Dodgers,
you have to think about walking Bobby Thompson here and pitching.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
To Willie Mays. You know you really want to have
to do.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
This is the Bobby Thompson could wind up doing something
damage you don't want. He could wind up being the
Tommy Edmond of this game.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Here's the pitch. I will tear tart your face like
it's Kelsey in a minute.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
If you're John Mattnamary, you may want to go to
Dave Stapleton at first base here of the ninth, but
Buckner is out there. Oh wait, people actually did say that,
and they said it before it actually happened. Why isn't
Dave Stapleton out there?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
But you never know.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Down the first base line could want d up going
through somebody's legs and really doing damage. Here's the three
and one Tomokie Wilson.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
It's so sad that Bill Bucker was a really good
fielder virtually his entire career, but he'll be known for
a ground ball forever.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, you really think the Dodgers should leave Yamamoto in here,
even after he's given up a hit at one hundred
and twelve pitches, it's just one more out.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
What could possibly go? But you're bring in the bullpen?
What this is? What you have a bullpen for? Everybody?
Be fun to call games like that. Boy, these guys
are really smart. Man. He knew that was gonna happen.
Guy's a wizard. You know why. He's like time hopping.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I bet you, babe, Ruth is gonna come up here
and he's gonna call a home run. We've never seen
it before, but I have a feeling here in the
World Series he's gonna call his home run shot.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
You know, in ninety years we'll have a guy play
will come over from Japan.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
You really don't want to walk Mike Davis here with
Kurk Gibson coming up. If you really want to throw,
make sure if you're Eckersley, you don't get a little
case of the yips and walk Mike Dave us All
and Ball Florida.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Mike Davis, Are you gonna sit there with the card
on while you do this? It was all these great
players in baseball history.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I can do that exit outbout of Fresca exit swelling
down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
We take a big look into week one into Week
two in the NFL. Coming up in ninety seconds. But first,
a man who's been called the Vin Scully of Fox
Sports Radio, don't you dare because he also did commercials
for Farmer John It is Steve de Sega.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Eastern most in quality, western most in flavor. Sandy Kofax
was the first lefty to throw a perfect game. Also
and this was the fourth straight year he pitched a
no hitter. And amazing about that game. The final was
one nothing. The Dodgers had one hit in this game.
It was a double no hitter going through six. That's
(24:50):
the only game that's ever had one hit. And I
don't think they hit factor like Luke Johnson had a
double and it didn't even factor.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Into the run. They were already up one nothing.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
I think it was a wall and you know, a
bunt and a steal and yeah, Sandy Kofak And by
the way, one nothing the final And as you mentioned,
preserve for posterity, Vince Gully did say, and not just
on this night. They used to ask the people back
at the studio, can you tape this game just so
we can have it as a gift to whoever's performing
(25:19):
that night, and we all are beneficiaries because when I
was a little kid, the recording that you just played,
actually the full ninth inning, was something that was on
sale at Dodger Stadium along with bumper stickers or pennants
or anything else. I as a kid had a copy
of this and played it over and over at Vince Gully,
(25:43):
the greatest baseball announcer in history. Great to hear that voice.
The Dodgers are at Dodger Stadium tonight and scoreless against
the Rockies in the bottom of the second. The Rockies
enter with a record of forty and one oh four,
but Dodger catcher Will Smith has return after missing five
games to a Bruce had As I speak, he's just scored.
It's one nothing Dodgers over Colorado in the bottom of
(26:05):
the second. La enters tonight, still one game over the
Padres for first place in the NL West. The Padres
are down two nothing Reds at San Diego. In the
bottom of the fourth inning. The Giants lead three to
nothing over Arizona. In the bottom of the third, Giants
three games out of the last NL wildcard. To start
the night, Arizona outfielder Lordis Guriel. We'll have ACL surgery
(26:27):
on Thursday. The Red Sox are out to a five
nothing lead at the A's in the top of the
second X Dodger Dustin May was due to be the
starter for Boston tonight. He's been placed on the injured
list with an ERA near five this year also in progress.
Mariners lead three to two over the Cardinals in the
fourth inning and at Texas Rangers up five to three
(26:47):
on Milwaukee in the top of the eighth. The Texas
Rangers have a shot at the playoffs. They're only a
game and a half behind Seattle for the last AL wildcard.
Cleveland was two and a half behind and then one again.
Five straight wins for the Guard and Say shut out
Kansas City to nothing. Detroit beat the Yankees twelve to
two in New York, forty fourth homer for Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
But the Tigers that game is not over yet. It's
still the top of the seventh inning. Yeah, somebody are
still batting. Get it out of seven, please, you know
the reliever that couldn't get it out. It's actually having
a good year.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Those stats a bit skewed after tonight the Tigers with
nine runs in the seventh inning. Cubs won six to
one at Atlanta, another great outing for Cad Horton ten
and four for the Cubs, and Yes, the Phillies beat
the Mets nine to three. Kyle Schwarber with his fiftieth
homer of the year. The Mets first in the NL East,
nine games back of the Phillies. I should say first,
(27:41):
and the Phillies pitcher was good again tonight. Ranger Suarez
twelve and six, six scoreless innings.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Career high, well Righthouse, Yes, career high.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
In strikeout Steve watch the look at us, just fade.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
We're just fading.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Then Sean and I getting yet another start and boom
down four to nothing in the second inning. He pitched
five innings in this one. The forty nine Ers placed
tight end George Kittle on injury reserve with a bad hamstring,
so he'll miss at least four games. San Francisco waived
kicker Jake Moody and sign kicker Eddie Pinero. Moody was
drafted in the third round two years ago. Say GMS,
(28:15):
don't draft a kicker. There's a thousand of them on
the waiver wire. This guy was eleven of his last
twenty on field goal attempts in.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Real life and fantasy. There's kickers.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Eddie Pinero, one of them.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Forty nine ers.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
Wide receiver Juwan Jennings is day to day with a
shoulder injury. His scans came back clean. The team did
sign officially wide receiver Kendrick Born San Francisco's at New Orleans. Sunday,
WNBA wins for New York and Indiana, and US men's
soccer defeated Japan two nothing tonight in an exhibition in Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
That's actually news.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Something good happened with US men's soccer tonight because there
are last exhibitions Saturday. They lost to nothing to South
Korea in New Jersey, which meant that the US men
had lost five in a row against top twenty five
teams had been outscored eleven to one in those games.
You may have heard the US is co hosting the
World Cup next summer. It's not looking good for the
(29:08):
home team. No, but a'll win tonight, but they one takes.
What have you done for me lately?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Steve?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You may lost ten twelve fifteen in a row. But
when not one game, we'll build on. It's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
You got to win after like berating reporters and journalists.
They're the fans over the last couple of days, it go.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Punt, Thank you, Steve so as Steve mentioned there, look,
the the San Francisco forty nine ers had a plethora
of things happened to them too. George Kittle is on IR.
They may be without Brock Purty. In week two. They
cut Jake Moody, kicker who didn't really have a future.
(29:45):
After Sunday, when you miss a chip shot and the
Niners players on the sideline, we're all hopping mad after
Pam Oliver's sideline reporters, there's a lot of there's a
lot of ticked off people here after we missed that
field goal. It hadn't worked out, he hadn't been accurate.
Now you have to sign a new wide receiver, right,
Kendrick Bourne with Jawan Jennings. The Niners are going through
a lot of stuff, but but they win week one. Hey, okay, yeah,
(30:09):
here's the thing the Niners. It's like a lot of
sound in It's like it's like mcbell i shouldn't say
it's It's like Scottish play. It's a lot of sound
and fury and it's not really signifying anything.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
The nine the Niners are mid, right. The Niners are
mid right.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
They they barely hold off another mid team because the
Seahawks are the definition of mid and they hold them
off because Sam Darnold can't hold on to the football
and get sacked on the final driver. Looks like they're
gonna get in the end zone to win the game
because you just kept throwing to Jackson Smith, the Chigba,
who was open every single.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Single it was plain catch. But the nine of the
Niners are mid. This is not just a week oh
hey there one week one. But these injuries are killers.
This is not the same team. They're good.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
There's gonna be a bit of a reorg with them
now that you paid brock Purty, obviously, and you have
to figure out what's your next level of investing into
this team. But you've had a lot of high paying
guys you had to let go after last year, and
that the Niners. This team is just kind of mid right.
They should be around five hundred dish. But I think
a lot of people are gonna spend all year waiting
(31:12):
for them all they're gonna catch fire there to catch
fire now that they're not quite what they were. And
again we both those teams are mid, but the Niners
being more high profile than Niners are mid.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yeah, I think they're just a great example of wishing,
wanting and hoping that things go right because a year
ago it was all about injuries one after another, and
you come into this season and it becomes the same
tail of the tape even before the first snap of
all right, can I get one more year out of
insert player x well. One of the first guys on
(31:42):
that list was Christian McCaffrey. Well, he touched the ball
thirty one times. Thirty one. Now, the nine catches made sense.
I thought that would be the way it would go.
Once you bring in Brian Robinson because you didn't like
the other running backs and they were all hurt. But
you haven't gotten the injury bug out. You're going into
Week two. MATC. Jones is probably your starter against New Orleans. Okay,
(32:03):
fortuitous spot on the schedule there, but you talk about
Juwan Jennings, a guy that you know you had had
a good year, and then there was fight, a fight
over his contract, he gets a bunch of incentives. Well
he's banged up, George Kittle aging, but he's as important
to the run game as he is in the passing game.
So all of a sudden, that's a huge step back,
(32:25):
and we're already questioning him because well, one is he
going to go to the WWE, but also just the
fact that he's an older player of you know, what's
his over under of games played. So now you're missing
so many key components of your offense and you're already
trying to use the duct tape to keep it together.
He's going to be a long week to week production
(32:46):
to kind of watch this. And Christian McCaffrey comes in
with the calf strain that you're wondering if that doesn't
get something bigger like it did a year ago. Yeah, look,
i'd like to think that day, the nine it day.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
They've been royalty for the patch Year's a big royalty
for the past forty years basically, but not every year
is going to be great. And you knew when they
went for it last year that what they had nine
guys making fifteen million dollars last year.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Okay, you know.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
They're going to come back to the pack a little
bit here and that's kind of where they are. Yes,
it was exciting. Game was fun close down the stretch.
Seahawks had a chance to win final game going on
on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
It was great. What but then nine just said they're
kind of mid The division's going to be interesting, right.
It's a battle of attrition because you got the backy
out of me waiting to happen for you got Arizona
that nobody trusts that. Obviously, your guys say them up
there in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome coming up next. Yeah,
we continue on with the quarterbacks. Two big quarterbacks from
week one is what.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
They did for real?

That's UMGC dot edu. Well taking a look now, big
quarterback stuff for the last couple of days has got.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Into the forty nine.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Few minutes ago, a couple of big performances that were
putting Week one to bed. Looking ahead to week two
is what we saw for real from the following quarterbacks. Okay,
first one, Daniel Jones. Now, I hate to say I
told you so, but there's a reason why I said, Hey,
if you're looking for a big, long shot super Bowl
team in the AFC, and I mean long shot somebody
(35:22):
you know, six thousand eight, ten thousand and one, you're
looking for that, you could do worse than the Colts
because the Colts have tons of offensive weapons and all
Daniel Jones has to do is execute the offense and
get the ball to the playmakers. Right, And it helps
when you play a team that has already quit on
the twenty twenty five season before Week one in the
Miami Dolphins. Hell oh, but it's not like Daniel Jones
(35:45):
had to do something incredible. It's not like Daniel they're
asking him to do something that is so so far
removed from what he can do. They're saying, run the offense,
get the ball to our guys, just like the Vikings
last night, JJ McCarthy, run the offense, make a play
once in a while. We're not say come in here
and be the team like the Commanders were. Jayden and
Daniels do everything, man, because we need to. Daniel Jones
(36:05):
can continue to play at a high level, because again,
you have some pretty big dudes on this team. Tyler
Warren steps in right away. Hey, he's a big weapon, right,
second guy, they're getting targets right Pittman and Alec Pierce
and he was a bad day for Josh downs. But
how many people can get the football? You got a cup.
It's not just you know, it's not just these guys
(36:26):
running catching passes, but running the football. You have Jonathan
Taylor and you have a couple of guys behind him
that you like too, Like, this is a deep offense
and it's a tough and it's an easy ish division.
This is a team that I can see Daniel Jones
continue to have this kind of level of success and
be and also being a weekly potential fantasy starter.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Fill he's gonna be in the fantasy route because of
the rushing yards twenty six yards. He did not hit
the over under number that was twenty nine, but two
rushing touchdowns himself. So if you're a Jonathan Taylor owner
or you handcuffed Giddons, who you'll see some more of,
especially in situations like this. You know, when a team
quits as the Dolphins had that, you're worried about the
(37:10):
vulture effect there. But as you laid it out, so
many of the different pass passing weapons Pittman and Warren
at the top of the list. The division is there.
I mean, we'll see what Jacksonville becomes, but I think
Houston falls back. They're going to be a fairly mid
team now. They've played one of the best defenses in
the game in the Rams to get things started. But
(37:33):
I'm concerned that that offense may not necessarily have the
same juice that it had in years past. But all
that to say, at seventy five to one, there's worse
ways to spend your dollar. Yeah, Look, at best, he
is a machine like Daniel Jones. Just he's not flashy,
but he makes it. He's at his best, he is
(37:54):
kind of.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Josh Allen light, and I mean really light, like not
like just a light like really like Josh out way
light Josh.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
That's kind of what the big thing is, right, is
that he's efficient with the football, and he was as
a Giant, couldn't stay healthy. Right, you go back his
touchdown interception ratio that everybody wants to preach, Well, that
was fine. The problem is he didn't take a lot
of chances down the field to where you made big
plays and several times got himself and we'll always remember
him tripping over his own feet sprinting to daylight. But
(38:25):
he also had a neck injury and some other things
that took it away from the field. So now you
go into what looks to be a better situation. Who
knows before long, you know carly Ers is going to
be call in plays.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
So Daniel Jones, we told you, hey, it was going
to be fine, and it is fine. Jackson Dart, no
matter what people say, No, you can't go to Jackson Dart,
No Russia. Jackson Dart's time is coming. We told you
it was going to be by October first. It's not
just a week one thing for Russell Wilson, I thought,
and we broke it down. Hey, perfect time for Jackson
(39:03):
Dart after week four. This is where he would step
in to start. But it's gonna be sooner than that.
Right when when you get a non committal stance from
Brian Dable right after the game, only the next day
say no, no, Russ is starting for us. You know that
his time is short, and it's not suddenly that he's
gonna suddenly start lighting it up. And look how Greg
look the offense was terrible at Russell, Wilson wasn't very good.
(39:25):
And once they drafted Jackson Dart, the importance level of
Wilson just completely started to decrease.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
It was, Oh we signed him in the offseason. Good,
we have a hold the Ford guy to get our
quarterback next year. Oh, we're able to get Jackson Dart
this year. Yeah, I guess what, Russ, You're finishing the
season on the bench. I thought week four and now
clearly gonna win that one because it could happen after
week two. The desire to see Jackson Dart play is
so incredibly immense. Giants fans would revolt if they said, yeah, yeah,
(39:54):
we're getting rid of Russ is out, but James Winston's
gonna start. Yeah, I know it sounds great. Let's wait
and give Jackson Dart some more time. But these guys
want to save their jobs. You want to make sure
you give Jackson Dart a chance to succeed. And Dable
can say, and Shane can say, we're the guys to
this organization. It's Jackson Dart. It's Jackson Dart. By October first,
probably sooner.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
But are you saved by the fact that if you
put him in moth balls and he never sees the field,
that is like we need we need to, you know,
really bring him along, so we need to stick around.
Or if you put him in and he's no good
or gets wrecked, like say, oh, I don't know after
the Saints game, You've got the Eagles followed by the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
But that that that that could get ugly really fast.
But you got to play at some point though you
can't as well. We're gonna pick the pick and choose
these games. Hey, the really tough teams. We're gonna let
Ruts start the Eames, you get to know.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
But my larger point is that you could really torpedo
development and put him in harm's way if he really
isn't ready in weeks five, six seven, because you you
have a juggernaut run coming off of that. I mean,
because look, Jalen Carter, he's gonna be mad. He's coming,
He's gonna spit out him. Sure, that's gonna happen too soon.
(41:06):
Something tells you the fifty grand he lost means he
ain't gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
He looked, he looked good enough in the summer. He's ready.
He wants it to desire. I have no doubt in
my mind. He's gonna step in. He's gonna sling it around,
he's gonna bring excitement to the franchise.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
It's gonna happen. They also need to make sure that
Malik Neighbors doesn't quit on them because he was kind
of white. He gets a new quarterback's gonna throw them
the football. I believe how

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Well. Here we are.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Fully taking week one of the NFL and putting it
to bed, put a nice big bow on it, looking
ahead to week two. I love this routine that we
get into. Hey Monday night, finish the week, Finish it strong.
I mean, unless you're Ben Johnson, finish it strong, just.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Because he got out coached in the second half and
JJ McCarthy looked like a superstar. Bears can't run the ball.
All the high price to acquisitions and all the awards
and extension they gave to Ryan Poles for signing a
bunch of offensive linemen didn't really seem to do a
damn bit of good. But no, hey, great, But that's
twenty four hours later. I'm a little more salty about
(01:34):
it because I went back and watched it again. Oh good,
I hated it even more good because I told you
were too happy last night. I felt like you were
still in shock after blowing that incredible lead, that that
you were celebrating. I mean you, I mean the Bears
were celebrating after they went up seventeen six, and I
thought you just didn't really understand what happened in that
last quarter and a half. You were just just got it,
just kind of blew past it, and a very a
(01:55):
in a very much how do I say, very surface.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
He way like I'm not going let it affect me,
not gonna that affect me, kind of like in in
Jerry Maguire when uh, when Kelly Preston uh and they
and he was gonna break up with her, he was,
we're breaking up. She didn't hear it. No, No, we're
breaking up. Nope, nope, didn't hear it. No, no I'm
breaking up with you, Nope, didn't hear you were kind
of the Kelly Preston. They are like, Nope, didn't hear it.
But no, Mike, you blew this. This was awful, and
Ben Johnson made a horrible stay. Yeah, no, it's okay,
(02:19):
it's okay.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
No, you were I was really thinking more. Jerry Stiller
is how I saw myself during the day. You know
that doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
No, it doesn't. And they never said that you had
to scream it. Did he say you had to yell it?
He wasn't clear. So I'm glad that a day after
you you're you're in a more of a normal response
to this.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I mean, look, I I pushed it away for the
sake of the nationwide and global audience and and to
spare your feelings, because you would have worn the brunt
of it if I started lashing out. Who's to my right,
It's you. I wasn't gonna yell at Elijah Frostburg wasn't here.
Frostburg was sign sure it was too excited about Aaron Roddy.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I just got back from Yeah, yeah, sorry, Frostburg just
landed from Brazil. Ty shirt is still He's Aaron Rodgers,
Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Snaps versus touchdowns. He must have used that line four
or five. Oh yeah, So I who could I lash
out at?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I know, I'm just telling you though, good start, but
his feelings would have gotten hurt and it would have
been bad.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I wanted you to just understand how bad that was
for you. And today watching Tyson bagent trend and Caleb
Williams trend and seeing the day after all these shadowy
reports that Caleb Williams, Oh, he's gonna be on thin ice,
Tyson Bage is coming in soon, and I'm like, wow, man,
no matter what kind of week anybody had in the NFL,
I mean, they're not talking about new quarterback yet. In Miami,
(03:43):
they're not talking about new quarterback yet. In Cleveland they're
not even talking about a new quarterback yet with the Giants.
But right away, hey, Caleb Williams who threw for two
sixty eight, ran for sixty in a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Oh, he's gonna lose his job in the next couple
of weeks. No, he made a bunch of mistakes. There
were issues, no question, that's the but not certainly not
as bad and poorly. He wasn't the only one. There's
plenty of others that deserved their share of the blame
pie starting with the head coach, and to his credit,
he wore it in the postgame press conference talking about
(04:14):
his shortcomings as a coach and the fact that they
have twelve penalties for one hundred and twenty seven yards
being a big problem, no question about it. But you
know all of the I figure all the people that
were part of that report, you know from from Tyde
Dunn and all that this weekend, it's like they were
assembled like the Legion of Doom, all those fired coaches
that decided that they needed to air their grievances because
(04:37):
it had to be the quarterback. Was it anything or
the fact that the roster was flawed?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
No, No, this is like everything, clearly just the quarter
Everybody whoever picked up a football in some sort of
organized manner should door Sanders stakes. I can't believe what
one of the brown felt like. Everybody, you're a non player.
You just need to shut your mouth. Hey, no one
likes working with you, okay, Just so you know, I
knew that. No one likes working with you. I know
a lot of No one likes you.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Only when I bring and everybody likes about like you
got cookies? No got today?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Ight?
Speaker 6 (05:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
So do you like him today? No? No, say that's
where it goes, man, No, nobody likes hey.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
In fun fact, I heard you say, Aaron Rodgers, howes
it feel to know that in his first game as
a Pittsburgh Steeler his QBR is one forty five, which
is better than any game he had as a Jet?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
How do you feel? Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
All right, Mike, keep going.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I feel like that's uh, that's that's that's really on
brand for the Jets. Yeah, it's like he lead you
right there. He keep walking up with the legs pipe
and just to her knee. He doesn't even know what
a quarterback rating is.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I do.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
It's a QBR. Okay, it's one.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It's one four out of how many out of how
one forty five out of how many?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Out of one forty five? He max out, No, no, no,
he doesn't know he did.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And Frostbrook, you don't say anything one forty five out
of how many out of one forty five. No, it's
literally said he did the best he could.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
So it's a sliding scale. Yes, quarterback to quarterback. Yes, yes,
was one forty five. What if his rating was one
thirty five, that would be the.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
It's one fifty eight and almost maxed out eight point
five point three point five point.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Three just update because of Rogers. Yeah, good, because he's
that special as a future Hall of Famer. There he's
got a higher rate.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, look, as we learned last night, AI not always right,
but AI giving ty Shirt the at least most of
the right answer with the one fish almost there. Now,
this story is just so good and I'm so glad
we get to do it tonight because it's just it's
it's everything that people think about voting processes in for MVP,
(06:36):
for the Heisman Trophy, for rankings, it's everything people think.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
About this all rolled up into one.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So the new AP pole came out today for the
College Football of Football rankings and the top three are unchanged.
Ohio State number one with a bullet fifty seven first
places votes, Penn State number two, LSU number three, Oregon
moves up to number four, Miami is fifth, then Georgia,
Texas still lurking in the top seven despite the fact
they're one in one. Okay, so there's your top three. Now,
there's a lot of attention on one specific AP voter
(07:07):
named Haley Sawyer, who covers college football here in southern California,
and she's a voter and she's getting a lot of
attention because on her ballot she had Florida at a
season high fourteenth, despite the fact they lost to South
Florida on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
She moved them up to they lost to South.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Florida, moved Florida up to in the pole, and didn't
have South Florida in the poll.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
At all, didn't rank them at all despite the fact
that they have two huge wins because they beat Boise State. Yes,
to get the thing. Not only did they beat Boise State,
they throttled Boise State.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Didn't have that in there at all. And also she
had some craziness with Auburn having them low. It's really
it's insane to see this, right, but she was playing
madly what is going on?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Right? Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
So what you're thinking and what I'm sure thing is, okay,
this is somebody And again you think voters take what
they do for a living and they take it so
seriously and it's the most serious thing they do. And
some people do and some people don't.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
But I mean, think of two guys we know very
well here around the Fox Sports radio studios, Right, Rob Parker,
his Hall of Fame vote for Major League Baseball is
the most important thing in his world. Yeah, Right. Steve Hartman,
who votes for the Heisman Trophy, like that's sacred. I
think he would rank it above his kids, Right, all
of those kind of like, yeah, so we've got you
(08:33):
guys on that end.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Of the people who do that. There are people who
take that's adjacent. Cole obviously on a Pro Football Hall
of very Good voter, right, and we joke with him,
but he's been playing very good players in the Hall
of Fame for a long.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Time, long time.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So there are a lot of people who do who
take it that seriously and that's how you should take it.
Then there's people that just take it like, eh, yeah,
uh no, I don't know how close I'm gonna pay attention.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So it was a big question today.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
It was a big like how do you have like
this is a big deal that here's here's an AP
voter that obviously didn't see the outcomes of games, and
how close do you have to watch things to show that,
Oh hey, maybe you drop Florida a little bit and
and you raise South Florida little. I mean, because you
know they did just lose the game, right, and again
she had some craziness with Auburn. It's gotten a lot
of attention. Okay, so you figure normally when this happens,
(09:19):
polsters just don't say anything, right, right, Like whoever it
was that didn't vote for each Euro Yeah, Saint Brian,
weever didn't vote for Jeter, right, I'm not gonna not
gonna vote. We won't vote for Rivera, but I won't
vote for Jeter right.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Okay. They usually stay quiet, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
We actually got the answer today because she went on
social media and put out a missive which boy, she
really should not have done. But she goes out and
puts out her response to college football fans criticizing a
rap about this is Hailey Sawyer putting this out on
social media earlier today.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
It is a run pass option.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
As far as what my votes are and what my
process is, you know, I wake up early in the
morning after covering a game late in the night, before.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Don't want to go too.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Much into my progress or process or logic, but I
will say I appreciate everybody's interaction on social media and
all of your feedback. You know, there's tons of people
that vote on the EP pole and like, it's not
a perfect system, but at the end of the day,
no matter who you picked, that's even out because there's
so many people who vote, and like I said, it's
(10:29):
really fun for discussion. It doesn't you know, probably matter
in the end, but so I'm glad that people are
having a really good time with She's playing.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
That your votes don't matter card, but you can vote,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Look, obviously with you, I'm not going to tell you
my process, and clearly your process was I didn't get it.
Look probably out late covering game the night before, understandably
out covering game the night before, probably usc they scored
like a thousand points. I think like eleven people, I'd
touchdown sure and coming back and having a game your
votes in so they can get.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
And get out and get counted. Right.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Not everybody takes the care they should with their ballot,
and I think everybody believes that I don't think this
is this is a shocking thing that it's really surprising
to see. Hey boy, it's really that bad a deal
where you can't just say, hey, let me look and
see who won who lost. I'll move them up a
couple of space. I'm down a couple of spaces. But
she says the quiet part out loud. She says that
in the end things even out and it really doesn't matter.
(11:25):
So what she has done is take this entire industry
of voting, whether it's for a Heisman Trophy or AP
or what and basically say, hey, listen, so many people vote,
it doesn't matter. Like that's the worst thing you can
you know, you want to deed what say yourself and say, hey,
you know what I did that you gotta own that.
But now you have not just embarrassed yourself in the
(11:46):
AP poll, now you said the AP pole doesn't matter.
I can't believe she'll still have a vote by this
time tomorrow because she has actually said the votes don't matter.
Whatever you vote, it's all gonna even out and in
the end it really doesn't matter. And that doesn't matter.
Part I get because we have the college football Playoff,
we have a new pole that comes out the AP
Pole is for fun.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Everybody understands that. But that quiet, pot out loud of your.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Vote doesn't matter. I don't think anyone in the country,
when it comes to anything, wants to hear their vote
doesn't matter. But now she just basically said, hey, the AP.
It doesn't we vote, but does it really matter? Let's
all go have fun today.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Everyone. Well, like there's thousands and thousands of votes out there, right,
what are we talking sixty some odd people, what is it,
sixty two, sixty five, seventies, something in that number that
actually do this vote? So we're not talking grandiose. And look,
when we heighten matchups, what are we talking the AP
because that's the poll, right, Coaches Pole, we understand it
(12:44):
was a bunch of sids and whatever like that one.
We long just kind of we've noticed that one aside.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, but for this, but no one just says, hey, sorry,
but this isn't really important.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It doesn't matter. Like it's all about television contracts and
primetime games and and putting your team in the best
light and and putting all that promotional wagon getting it
rolling down the highway. No, no, no push that. Like,
the more I listened to that clip, several times over
the course of the DAN It's like, the more and
(13:14):
more I'm like, are you just an influencer that's trying
to that somehow finagled your way into a vote and
then evidently a journalism I got to take the jay
and knock it down to a lower lower case J here, journalist,
adjunct professor, and a bunch of other stuff. So I
got to imagine those folks are a little salty about this, right,
(13:37):
You've offended multiple industries, multiple professions in this process.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Now worry about it. You know that what are you
gonna do? Voted for Florida, but doesn't matter. It's flooded Florida.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Get up there. No they didn't because nobody else voted
for them either. It doesn't matter, It'll all work out.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Your vote doesn't matter, right, That's like what you say,
like in states that leans so heavily Democrat or so
heavily Republican, like the big line when when someone like
if like, if you're in California, you're a Democrat, right,
and someone's probably, oh, I'm going Republican. The big lines, Ah,
your vote doesn't matter, or if you're in you're in
Texas and a Democrat. I'm going Democrat. Yeah, your vote
(14:15):
doesn't matter, right, Like that's like okay, like that's but
people don't want to hear that. Right, they understand that,
but they don't want to hear that. And and I
don't think any of the people that make the rules
in college football and do the polls want to have
a voter say yeah, well, well you do.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
It doesn't matter to Tim Brando. Really, I gave up
my AP vote when it was actually being used for
the BCS formula. I felt there was no way I
could condemn the process if I was part of it.
The great Beano Cook and AP had at the time,
herschel Nissensen went to bat for me to become a voter.
After college game Day was born. It wasn't quite so
easy to become a voter in those days. And then
(14:50):
he can he continues on, but.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
He's just like, well, I will be stunned if she
still has a vote tomorrow. I really I'll be stunned
if she's still still a voter. After said yeah, it's
not important.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The sanctity of the voting process has been cast asunder.
Speaker 1 (15:05):

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon as we welcome back.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Justin Frostburg from all parts of Brazil.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, first day back Chargers producing the Chargers Radio broadcast
play by play last Friday night. And luckily you weren't
here when the Dodgers won out away from a no
hitter lost the game, because I think you all the
good vibes you had for the Chargers winning would have
been right out the window.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I'm glad I wasn't here, but thanks for reminding me.
Oh I got it. I got it so well, sure,
because well, but I mean he got his big win.
Your Jets fell to Aaron Roight, what did he have, Alex?
What was that? Qbr total of see there you go?
And then I mean, obviously last night I had the Bears. Yeah,
so I mean you gotta be dragged out with the
(17:37):
rest of us.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Point, But to welcome Frostburg back here right we missed
him the last few days, and to talk about the
fact that point that Dodgers had two no hitters that
they almost were able to pull off in the last
few days, didn't get either of them. I think bringing
in Blake Trining to preserve a no hitter is not
the lame call. I just tell you know what I'm
thinking after Saturday night, it's not the right call. I
(17:59):
just I don't.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I still wish Paz would have at least made an
effort and right there, even if he couldn't have caught
the ball playing for the krem when you could have
been trying to preserve a no hitter, it's just a
terrible look.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But in that vein, we have a celebration for Frostburg
here with the Play of the Day. The Play the
Day brought to you by ti I Rack. For over
forty years, Tire Rack's been opening customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped fast
and free backed by free Road has a protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack dot
Com is the way tire buying should be. Well as
(18:31):
a near no hitter on Saturday and near no hitter
the other night. And because of that, let's go back
to this day in nineteen sixty five where one of
the Dodgers' aces did find a way to pitch a
no hitter, and Vin Scully of course was there for it.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Two and two, the Harvey Kane one strike away, Sandy
into his wind up, here's the pitch.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Swine on and this the perfect game. On the scoreboard
and right field.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
It is nine to forty six pm in the City
of the Angels, Los Angeles, California, and a crowd of
twenty nine thou thirty nine just sitting in to see
the only pitcher in baseball history to herald four no hit,
no run games. He has done it four straight years,
(19:25):
and now he kept it on his fourth no hitter.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
He made it up.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Perfect game.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Vin Scully of course on the call. And this is
not just hey, Sandy, Kofax's pitch a perfect game, right,
just to think about this for a second, right, because
this is a fun thing to think of.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
The fact that it was over the Cubs. Well, yeah,
it was over the Cubs. Harvey Keen.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Harvey dent with a strikeout. Here at Chicago, looking a
little two faced on that final pitch is Harvey Keith.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
He eventually came back with the wallbanger.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
This was the eighth perfect game in baseball history, right,
just the eighth. We'red like twenty some on now, this
was the eighth perfect game. This game was not televised.
There was no television on this game. The only call
that exists that probably still exists, is this one, because
I don't think the Cubs kept that one.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
We just we just got that perfect game.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Pronadus thrown his broadcast out, we don't need this anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I think that became more pronounced through the years. I
don't know that at that point you had the super
we don't need this.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Okay, we're gonna blow the division lead in nineteen sixty
nine to a bleep in Mets. Okay, it's gonna be terrible.
There's gonna be a black cant running across every it's
gonna be awful. Uh So the game wasn't televised, and
Scully instructed the radio team to record the final inning
of this perfect game.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
They were going to the ninth inning.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Let's record it. Like, think about how crazy that is now?
Oh oh, you think we should record the fight.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yes, it's a final letting of it's gonna be a
perfect game. Let's record this.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And he got it, and he actually gave it to
Sandy Kofex as a gift later on because nobody knows
did it still exist. Just think about a world back
then when you know you missed something on TV. You
missed it.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You couldn't get it right, you missed it. Hey, if
we don't record this, if no one else is somehow
recording this on the radio, it may not exist.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
So they recorded.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
You got the best version of it, obviously, because it
was the play by play version, not somebody you know
on a cassette deck hitting play and record at.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
The same time. And there it is, and there's your
version of Sandy Cofax is perfect game. It's amazing, right
because you think of all the old TV shows that
are gone because of the way they were recorded, and
they weren't able to be preserved properly right put on film,
which is something you know Lucy and Desi did where
it was actually on film reel to real stock, so
(21:35):
that actually survived. But all those calls that went into
the ether, it's kind of sad part of part of
that history. So we can do recreations. We can get
you know, proper representations of all those voices. You and
I could sit in a booth. Oh yeah, yeah, we
can just call all those games.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, no, it's great. And I could like foreshadow stuff too.
It'd be really cool.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Like he's sitting there with an almanac, you know, thirty
five years from now. You know.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The thing is, Armando Gallaad has got a really hustle.
If there's a ground ball to cover first base, you
really want to get there ahead of the throw because
you never know what could happen. Here's the two and two. Well,
you have to wonder if Jim Joyce is in the
right spot to find out where this ball's gonna go.
He looks like he could be a little bit to
the side.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Did you see the manager trying to shade him over it?
You don't know what could happen here. Uh, you know,
i'd like to see.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I really think that if you're the if you're the Dodgers,
you have to think about walking Bobby Thompson here and pitching.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
To Willie Mays. You know you really want to have
to do.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
This is the Bobby Thompson could wind up doing something
damage you don't want. He could wind up being the
Tommy Edmond of this game.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Here's the pitch. I will tear tart your face like
it's Kelsey in a minute.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
If you're John Mattnamary, you may want to go to
Dave Stapleton at first base here of the ninth, but
Buckner is out there. Oh wait, people actually did say that,
and they said it before it actually happened. Why isn't
Dave Stapleton out there?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
But you never know.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Down the first base line could want d up going
through somebody's legs and really doing damage. Here's the three
and one Tomokie Wilson.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
It's so sad that Bill Bucker was a really good
fielder virtually his entire career, but he'll be known for
a ground ball forever.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, you really think the Dodgers should leave Yamamoto in here,
even after he's given up a hit at one hundred
and twelve pitches, it's just one more out.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
What could possibly go? But you're bring in the bullpen?
What this is? What you have a bullpen for? Everybody?
Be fun to call games like that. Boy, these guys
are really smart. Man. He knew that was gonna happen.
Guy's a wizard. You know why. He's like time hopping.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I bet you, babe, Ruth is gonna come up here
and he's gonna call a home run. We've never seen
it before, but I have a feeling here in the
World Series he's gonna call his home run shot.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
You know, in ninety years we'll have a guy play
will come over from Japan.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
You really don't want to walk Mike Davis here with
Kurk Gibson coming up. If you really want to throw,
make sure if you're Eckersley, you don't get a little
case of the yips and walk Mike Dave us All
and Ball Florida.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Mike Davis, Are you gonna sit there with the card
on while you do this? It was all these great
players in baseball history.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I can do that exit outbout of Fresca exit swelling
down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
We take a big look into week one into Week
two in the NFL. Coming up in ninety seconds. But first,
a man who's been called the Vin Scully of Fox
Sports Radio, don't you dare because he also did commercials
for Farmer John It is Steve de Sega.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Eastern most in quality, western most in flavor. Sandy Kofax
was the first lefty to throw a perfect game. Also
and this was the fourth straight year he pitched a
no hitter. And amazing about that game. The final was
one nothing. The Dodgers had one hit in this game.
It was a double no hitter going through six. That's
(24:50):
the only game that's ever had one hit. And I
don't think they hit factor like Luke Johnson had a
double and it didn't even factor.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Into the run. They were already up one nothing.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
I think it was a wall and you know, a
bunt and a steal and yeah, Sandy Kofak And by
the way, one nothing the final And as you mentioned,
preserve for posterity, Vince Gully did say, and not just
on this night. They used to ask the people back
at the studio, can you tape this game just so
we can have it as a gift to whoever's performing
(25:19):
that night, and we all are beneficiaries because when I
was a little kid, the recording that you just played,
actually the full ninth inning, was something that was on
sale at Dodger Stadium along with bumper stickers or pennants
or anything else. I as a kid had a copy
of this and played it over and over at Vince Gully,
(25:43):
the greatest baseball announcer in history. Great to hear that voice.
The Dodgers are at Dodger Stadium tonight and scoreless against
the Rockies in the bottom of the second. The Rockies
enter with a record of forty and one oh four,
but Dodger catcher Will Smith has return after missing five
games to a Bruce had As I speak, he's just scored.
It's one nothing Dodgers over Colorado in the bottom of
(26:05):
the second. La enters tonight, still one game over the
Padres for first place in the NL West. The Padres
are down two nothing Reds at San Diego. In the
bottom of the fourth inning. The Giants lead three to
nothing over Arizona. In the bottom of the third, Giants
three games out of the last NL wildcard. To start
the night, Arizona outfielder Lordis Guriel. We'll have ACL surgery
(26:27):
on Thursday. The Red Sox are out to a five
nothing lead at the A's in the top of the
second X Dodger Dustin May was due to be the
starter for Boston tonight. He's been placed on the injured
list with an ERA near five this year also in progress.
Mariners lead three to two over the Cardinals in the
fourth inning and at Texas Rangers up five to three
(26:47):
on Milwaukee in the top of the eighth. The Texas
Rangers have a shot at the playoffs. They're only a
game and a half behind Seattle for the last AL wildcard.
Cleveland was two and a half behind and then one again.
Five straight wins for the Guard and Say shut out
Kansas City to nothing. Detroit beat the Yankees twelve to
two in New York, forty fourth homer for Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
But the Tigers that game is not over yet. It's
still the top of the seventh inning. Yeah, somebody are
still batting. Get it out of seven, please, you know
the reliever that couldn't get it out. It's actually having
a good year.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Those stats a bit skewed after tonight the Tigers with
nine runs in the seventh inning. Cubs won six to
one at Atlanta, another great outing for Cad Horton ten
and four for the Cubs, and Yes, the Phillies beat
the Mets nine to three. Kyle Schwarber with his fiftieth
homer of the year. The Mets first in the NL East,
nine games back of the Phillies. I should say first,
(27:41):
and the Phillies pitcher was good again tonight. Ranger Suarez
twelve and six, six scoreless innings.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Career high, well Righthouse, Yes, career high.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
In strikeout Steve watch the look at us, just fade.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
We're just fading.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Then Sean and I getting yet another start and boom
down four to nothing in the second inning. He pitched
five innings in this one. The forty nine Ers placed
tight end George Kittle on injury reserve with a bad hamstring,
so he'll miss at least four games. San Francisco waived
kicker Jake Moody and sign kicker Eddie Pinero. Moody was
drafted in the third round two years ago. Say GMS,
(28:15):
don't draft a kicker. There's a thousand of them on
the waiver wire. This guy was eleven of his last
twenty on field goal attempts in.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Real life and fantasy. There's kickers.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Eddie Pinero, one of them.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Forty nine ers.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
Wide receiver Juwan Jennings is day to day with a
shoulder injury. His scans came back clean. The team did
sign officially wide receiver Kendrick Born San Francisco's at New Orleans. Sunday,
WNBA wins for New York and Indiana, and US men's
soccer defeated Japan two nothing tonight in an exhibition in Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
That's actually news.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Something good happened with US men's soccer tonight because there
are last exhibitions Saturday. They lost to nothing to South
Korea in New Jersey, which meant that the US men
had lost five in a row against top twenty five
teams had been outscored eleven to one in those games.
You may have heard the US is co hosting the
World Cup next summer. It's not looking good for the
(29:08):
home team. No, but a'll win tonight, but they one takes.
What have you done for me lately?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Steve?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You may lost ten twelve fifteen in a row. But
when not one game, we'll build on. It's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
You got to win after like berating reporters and journalists.
They're the fans over the last couple of days, it go.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Punt, Thank you, Steve so as Steve mentioned there, look,
the the San Francisco forty nine ers had a plethora
of things happened to them too. George Kittle is on IR.
They may be without Brock Purty. In week two. They
cut Jake Moody, kicker who didn't really have a future.
(29:45):
After Sunday, when you miss a chip shot and the
Niners players on the sideline, we're all hopping mad after
Pam Oliver's sideline reporters, there's a lot of there's a
lot of ticked off people here after we missed that
field goal. It hadn't worked out, he hadn't been accurate.
Now you have to sign a new wide receiver, right,
Kendrick Bourne with Jawan Jennings. The Niners are going through
a lot of stuff, but but they win week one. Hey, okay, yeah,
(30:09):
here's the thing the Niners. It's like a lot of
sound in It's like it's like mcbell i shouldn't say
it's It's like Scottish play. It's a lot of sound
and fury and it's not really signifying anything.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
The nine the Niners are mid, right. The Niners are
mid right.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
They they barely hold off another mid team because the
Seahawks are the definition of mid and they hold them
off because Sam Darnold can't hold on to the football
and get sacked on the final driver. Looks like they're
gonna get in the end zone to win the game
because you just kept throwing to Jackson Smith, the Chigba,
who was open every single.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Single it was plain catch. But the nine of the
Niners are mid. This is not just a week oh
hey there one week one. But these injuries are killers.
This is not the same team. They're good.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
There's gonna be a bit of a reorg with them
now that you paid brock Purty, obviously, and you have
to figure out what's your next level of investing into
this team. But you've had a lot of high paying
guys you had to let go after last year, and
that the Niners. This team is just kind of mid right.
They should be around five hundred dish. But I think
a lot of people are gonna spend all year waiting
(31:12):
for them all they're gonna catch fire there to catch
fire now that they're not quite what they were. And
again we both those teams are mid, but the Niners
being more high profile than Niners are mid.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yeah, I think they're just a great example of wishing,
wanting and hoping that things go right because a year
ago it was all about injuries one after another, and
you come into this season and it becomes the same
tail of the tape even before the first snap of
all right, can I get one more year out of
insert player x well. One of the first guys on
(31:42):
that list was Christian McCaffrey. Well, he touched the ball
thirty one times. Thirty one. Now, the nine catches made sense.
I thought that would be the way it would go.
Once you bring in Brian Robinson because you didn't like
the other running backs and they were all hurt. But
you haven't gotten the injury bug out. You're going into
Week two. MATC. Jones is probably your starter against New Orleans. Okay,
(32:03):
fortuitous spot on the schedule there, but you talk about
Juwan Jennings, a guy that you know you had had
a good year, and then there was fight, a fight
over his contract, he gets a bunch of incentives. Well
he's banged up, George Kittle aging, but he's as important
to the run game as he is in the passing game.
So all of a sudden, that's a huge step back,
(32:25):
and we're already questioning him because well, one is he
going to go to the WWE, but also just the
fact that he's an older player of you know, what's
his over under of games played. So now you're missing
so many key components of your offense and you're already
trying to use the duct tape to keep it together.
He's going to be a long week to week production
(32:46):
to kind of watch this. And Christian McCaffrey comes in
with the calf strain that you're wondering if that doesn't
get something bigger like it did a year ago. Yeah, look,
i'd like to think that day, the nine it day.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
They've been royalty for the patch Year's a big royalty
for the past forty years basically, but not every year
is going to be great. And you knew when they
went for it last year that what they had nine
guys making fifteen million dollars last year.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Okay, you know.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
They're going to come back to the pack a little
bit here and that's kind of where they are. Yes,
it was exciting. Game was fun close down the stretch.
Seahawks had a chance to win final game going on
on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
It was great. What but then nine just said they're
kind of mid The division's going to be interesting, right.
It's a battle of attrition because you got the backy
out of me waiting to happen for you got Arizona
that nobody trusts that. Obviously, your guys say them up
there in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome coming up next. Yeah,
we continue on with the quarterbacks. Two big quarterbacks from
week one is what.
Speaker 3 (33:43):

That's UMGC dot edu. Well taking a look now, big
quarterback stuff for the last couple of days has got.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Into the forty nine.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Few minutes ago, a couple of big performances that were
putting Week one to bed. Looking ahead to week two
is what we saw for real from the following quarterbacks. Okay,
first one, Daniel Jones. Now, I hate to say I
told you so, but there's a reason why I said, Hey,
if you're looking for a big, long shot super Bowl
team in the AFC, and I mean long shot somebody
(35:22):
you know, six thousand eight, ten thousand and one, you're
looking for that, you could do worse than the Colts
because the Colts have tons of offensive weapons and all
Daniel Jones has to do is execute the offense and
get the ball to the playmakers. Right, And it helps
when you play a team that has already quit on
the twenty twenty five season before Week one in the
Miami Dolphins. Hell oh, but it's not like Daniel Jones
(35:45):
had to do something incredible. It's not like Daniel they're
asking him to do something that is so so far
removed from what he can do. They're saying, run the offense,
get the ball to our guys, just like the Vikings
last night, JJ McCarthy, run the offense, make a play
once in a while. We're not say come in here
and be the team like the Commanders were. Jayden and
Daniels do everything, man, because we need to. Daniel Jones
(36:05):
can continue to play at a high level, because again,
you have some pretty big dudes on this team. Tyler
Warren steps in right away. Hey, he's a big weapon, right,
second guy, they're getting targets right Pittman and Alec Pierce
and he was a bad day for Josh downs. But
how many people can get the football? You got a cup.
It's not just you know, it's not just these guys
(36:26):
running catching passes, but running the football. You have Jonathan
Taylor and you have a couple of guys behind him
that you like too, Like, this is a deep offense
and it's a tough and it's an easy ish division.
This is a team that I can see Daniel Jones
continue to have this kind of level of success and
be and also being a weekly potential fantasy starter.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Fill he's gonna be in the fantasy route because of
the rushing yards twenty six yards. He did not hit
the over under number that was twenty nine, but two
rushing touchdowns himself. So if you're a Jonathan Taylor owner
or you handcuffed Giddons, who you'll see some more of,
especially in situations like this. You know, when a team
quits as the Dolphins had that, you're worried about the
(37:10):
vulture effect there. But as you laid it out, so
many of the different pass passing weapons Pittman and Warren
at the top of the list. The division is there.
I mean, we'll see what Jacksonville becomes, but I think
Houston falls back. They're going to be a fairly mid
team now. They've played one of the best defenses in
the game in the Rams to get things started. But
(37:33):
I'm concerned that that offense may not necessarily have the
same juice that it had in years past. But all
that to say, at seventy five to one, there's worse
ways to spend your dollar. Yeah, Look, at best, he
is a machine like Daniel Jones. Just he's not flashy,
but he makes it. He's at his best, he is
(37:54):
kind of.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Josh Allen light, and I mean really light, like not
like just a light like really like Josh out way
light Josh.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
That's kind of what the big thing is, right, is
that he's efficient with the football, and he was as
a Giant, couldn't stay healthy. Right, you go back his
touchdown interception ratio that everybody wants to preach, Well, that
was fine. The problem is he didn't take a lot
of chances down the field to where you made big
plays and several times got himself and we'll always remember
him tripping over his own feet sprinting to daylight. But
(38:25):
he also had a neck injury and some other things
that took it away from the field. So now you
go into what looks to be a better situation. Who
knows before long, you know carly Ers is going to
be call in plays.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
So Daniel Jones, we told you, hey, it was going
to be fine, and it is fine. Jackson Dart, no
matter what people say, No, you can't go to Jackson Dart,
No Russia. Jackson Dart's time is coming. We told you
it was going to be by October first. It's not
just a week one thing for Russell Wilson, I thought,
and we broke it down. Hey, perfect time for Jackson
(39:03):
Dart after week four. This is where he would step
in to start. But it's gonna be sooner than that.
Right when when you get a non committal stance from
Brian Dable right after the game, only the next day
say no, no, Russ is starting for us. You know that
his time is short, and it's not suddenly that he's
gonna suddenly start lighting it up. And look how Greg
look the offense was terrible at Russell, Wilson wasn't very good.
(39:25):
And once they drafted Jackson Dart, the importance level of
Wilson just completely started to decrease.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
It was, Oh we signed him in the offseason. Good,
we have a hold the Ford guy to get our
quarterback next year. Oh, we're able to get Jackson Dart
this year. Yeah, I guess what, Russ, You're finishing the
season on the bench. I thought week four and now
clearly gonna win that one because it could happen after
week two. The desire to see Jackson Dart play is
so incredibly immense. Giants fans would revolt if they said, yeah, yeah,
(39:54):
we're getting rid of Russ is out, but James Winston's
gonna start. Yeah, I know it sounds great. Let's wait
and give Jackson Dart some more time. But these guys
want to save their jobs. You want to make sure
you give Jackson Dart a chance to succeed. And Dable
can say, and Shane can say, we're the guys to
this organization. It's Jackson Dart. It's Jackson Dart. By October first,
probably sooner.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
But are you saved by the fact that if you
put him in moth balls and he never sees the field,
that is like we need we need to, you know,
really bring him along, so we need to stick around.
Or if you put him in and he's no good
or gets wrecked, like say, oh, I don't know after
the Saints game, You've got the Eagles followed by the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
But that that that that could get ugly really fast.
But you got to play at some point though you
can't as well. We're gonna pick the pick and choose
these games. Hey, the really tough teams. We're gonna let
Ruts start the Eames, you get to know.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
But my larger point is that you could really torpedo
development and put him in harm's way if he really
isn't ready in weeks five, six seven, because you you
have a juggernaut run coming off of that. I mean,
because look, Jalen Carter, he's gonna be mad. He's coming,
He's gonna spit out him. Sure, that's gonna happen too soon.
(41:06):
Something tells you the fifty grand he lost means he
ain't gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
He looked, he looked good enough in the summer. He's ready.
He wants it to desire. I have no doubt in
my mind. He's gonna step in. He's gonna sling it around,
he's gonna bring excitement to the franchise.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
It's gonna happen. They also need to make sure that
Malik Neighbors doesn't quit on them because he was kind
of white. He gets a new quarterback's gonna throw them
the football. I believe how
