Speaker 1 (01:06):
We win. Now, as we said, extra doses of grab
ass tonight here on the show. I think we could
all use a little bit of uh, some distraction.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, like snow night.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Let me say this, Hey Dad, oh Tony got a hit.
Now it's on you. Our streak is now at fifteen games,
or beat thestreak at MLB dot com. Tomorrow's Thursday. Put
something and he's got the tough he's got getaway day tomorrow.
But what good look get away? But under these half
ass rules, he doesn't have to make a pick. Yeah,
he could skip a.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Day, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
But I basically you might just say, well, it's a short,
short slate, getaway day.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
No, no, no, half aass lineups. Guys coming out of
the lineups.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Early, you do realize you don't win anything until you
get forty nine more right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Not forty nine. We got to get with fifteen. Yeah,
that's forty two. The long road begins at that first step.
But I want to say this, it's easy tomorrow. Just
just take any phillies batter any phillies matter against the Mets,
and what doesn't matter first guy in the lineup, sever
is pitching tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
And then for sure take any met Friday night against
the Grom Right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, absolutely, because that's great because the Mets the way
they get to finish with the Phillies, to go to
the hottest team in baseball again. When there's ten games left,
the Mets are gonna be looking up at the playoffs.
The Giants are gonna be in, or the Reds, or
the Giants and the Reds, maybe the Diamondbacks too. Mike,
how many strikeouts for de Grom Friday night? At least? Yeah,
but he can't. He can't pitch that deep in the
game anymore. Nah, you can't. No, it's the Metsna. What
(02:37):
a day for Jacob de Grom. He's got four strikeouts
here in the first inning. He instructed his catcher to
let strike three go to the backstop so he could
strike out another guy here in the first Actually, bet
a perfect game. Uh, it will be a big game,
no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
The Mets. Look they're gonna lose again tomorrow. Those again.
I'm telling you, they're just giving it, just giving it away.
It's just giving it away. It's all Francisco Lidor said
to Night. Yeah, things haven't clicked for us this year. Dude.
Come on, man, that's like seventeen games left. What do
you mean, Oh, things haven't clicked? Forth find it. Find
it right now.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
He's five for thirty in the month of September. He
has done his job. It's how I feel when you
do an escape room and like the process. You have
five minutes left. Oh, we're not going to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
What do you mean, let's go. We got five minutes left.
Let's finish this escape room. Let's get out of here.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
That ranks among one of the things I have no
desire to. Escape rooms are fun.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Escape rooms are fun, man, Like you go and and
and you think, you think going where you go? If
you want to walk out on the Jets or Mets. SKay, no,
you got it. That's how if you're watching a game,
you press a button at game comes with an escape room.
Yeah if that is, yeah, you get. It's like the
parachute cord. It's like in Star Wars when three PO
and R two just go into the escape pod, go leaving,
(03:47):
leaving the leaving the Jets game.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, it's the mini spoiler. I mean, it's it's all
up there. Peacemaker. Whenever he's tired of his current living, Okay,
he's got a place where he just goes and head
hits a couple of buttons and walks into a different earth.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, that't you get I go to the next earth.
Let me just look at the stand. How long are
you to be on this earth for? I don't only
get online real fast and see what the Mets record is.
I'm trying to get back to that one. I'm happy there.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I'm believing this earth. I'm so late. I'm back in
nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I'm gone. No, escape rooms are fun. It depends on
the level of escape room that you do. Like there's easy, medium,
and hard, and we thought, hey the easy escape yeah,
medium escape from Yeah, we did a hard escape from
It's like your time is up saw.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, but exactly what if you didn't read the fine
print and bad things?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Someone someone gets hobbled?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
What I want to play a game? But I think
that that could be a movie, right, escape room? But
they really kill you at the end or something, or
do they already do that movie? I can't believe. No,
But like a family goes in and you meet a
couple of people, you're do an escaping, but you find
out it's like run by by some kind of lunatics
kind of midsummer. Yeah, yeah, well, I'm not saying that's
(04:55):
gonna happen to you, but like, you know, that's the movie.
It's like, oh, where are you? Suddenly you're dressed like
a You're in like a big you can't move it all,
but you can see and hear everything going on a
bear with a big smile on you. Hell of a movie.
That sequel's gotta be coming out soon. Cocaine Bear Too's
gotta be coming out. Yeah, of course, dude, the first
one was amazingly good. Of course it's gonna be. They're
gonna fu Cocaine Bear too. It's gonna be the Cocaine
(05:17):
Bear's son who's gonna come back and avenge the Cocaine
Bear from the first one. Yeah, evidently it was. Uh
Elizabeth Banks was, I did direct a sequel. I think
there's gonna be a Cocaine Bear universe, Like you gonna
get Cocaine Bear. You might be getting uh uh you know,
uh marijuana.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
D layoff.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Like you know, I don't know, you'll get something like
you're gonna hoole Cocaine Bear universe. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I think that would have been great. And then they
all battle like it's Freddy versus Jason. Uh so a
big retirement to get to today. It's kind of fun
because we saw him really living it up last night.
Uh at at at the game. Anthony Rizzo, former Cubs legend,
Yankee legend, retiring after fourteen years in Major League baseball.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Him and his wife. He's like, oh yeah, he's like
crushing a beer on camera, having fun. Retired today from baseball.
You kind of left it open to see if he
would get signed this season. It didn't work out, so
he retired from the game. Anthony Rizza. And look, this
is why I told you I'm getting old, because now
I've been on the air basically for his entire career, right,
and now he's retired. This is how weird sports is sometimes,
(06:31):
is that he had an incredibly good career, right, won
a World Series with the Cubs, their first World Series
in ninety years, and he and Chris Bryant were the
lynchpins of that team. They were the two biggest players.
To talk about Rizzo and Bryant in twenty sixteen. It
was these guys were gods in Chicago, and he had
a great career. He had a really really good career, right,
(06:51):
That was Anthony Rizzo. But when you say, hey, Anthony Rizzo.
The first thing that comes to mind, or what his
legacy is gonna be, is this play.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Oh coming to best my ground ball weekly hits the
first Grizzo has to go himself and bet S beats
it out. Cole forgotten to cover, so the Dodger's score.
It's a weak little ground ball the first.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
John Sterling Yankees making it sound like this no big deal.
Meanwhile the Yankees are melting down one of the big
plays from the fifth inning of the World Series Game five,
whe the Yankees going with a five to nothing lead
and they give it all away. Of course you get
Aaron Judge dropping a fly ball as well, and you
can tell right there that John Sterling has at it.
That might have been the moment that broke john Sterling.
(07:37):
You know what, I'm done? No, I think Joe coming
out did that I'm done. Oh, that could have been
it too, That could have been it. That was the
moment that we're done.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
That was the what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah? But when you say to me, Anthony Rizzo, that's
the play I think if I think of him feeling
the ground and looking and being in no man's land,
and Garrett Cole pointing to first Ba's like, you take
it yourself, man, Like, that's Rizzo's legacy because that was
an that was the play that you know, another one
that helped turn the tie and the Dodgers win the
World Series and the Yankees their entire existence now is
(08:08):
the Yankees are fundamentally awful, right, the Yankees are a
little league team, like because because of that inning, and
that was the play more so than Judge dropping the
fly ball, because look if Judge's fault takes his eye
off it because he thought key A. Hearn Anders was
wandering too far off the bag, you got to catch that.
But you gotta make that play and that play because
it was just so bad that it really helped open
(08:29):
the floodgates for the inning. Was the Yankees look back
and say we lost that World Series. That you know,
Nester Cortez GOINGO, No, everybody's forgetting my walk off in
Game one against Freddy Freeman. But that's what we point
back to. That inning. That inning has become famous in
baseball lexicon. It will be famous for the next fifty years,
that inning of the Yankees and the Dodge where the
Yankees couldn't field anything, and it gave the Dodgers the
(08:50):
winning the World Series. That play that when you think
of Anthony Rizzo, his legacy, that's the play that comes
to everybody's mind. Well, they still haven't been.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Able to purge that from their locker room. They still
struggle with fundamentals all year long. I mean, Aaron Boone,
We've watched him walk to a podium with his arms extended.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Like like, I know what you're gonna ask, just gonna
be not man.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
The problem is they kept that problem and I think
they passed a little of it on to the Dodgers.
So now you got a little bit of an it
follows kind of scenario where we've got we've got that
that around where we watched the fundamentals and problems uh
in the on the base paths and and in the
field all year long, in addition to stuff of the bullpen.
But Rizzle was a guy that when he came up
(09:31):
with the Cubs that run, He and Bryant and then
you had some of those other young players right that
that went away. He was one of the last guys
to uh get shuffled off when he finally left what
twenty one. I think it was that he finally went
to New York. But that was the core that was
gonna win forever.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, they got that one, yeah yeah, right, but but
they got the one. You gotta be happy just with
that one. Live on there that night. That was a party.
You can live off that that win for for thirty years. Right,
we won because we hadn't won in ninety so we
can live off that.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Well.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
But that's it, and it's gonna be like the Bears
fortieth anniversary.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Hey, here we are.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I mean Anthony Rizzo, I mean you saw the Kings
welcome that he got yesterday. I mean that was just
to absurd. But I mean you go back to the
run he had from twenty fourteen to twenty seventeen, thirty two,
thirty one, thirty two, thirty two, and each of those
the last three years with one following one hundred RBI seasons,
(10:30):
couple of top five MVP runs, couple of gold gloves
mixed in.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Guy had a hell of a run. Yeah, and then
he'll be remembered for that play being part of the meltdown,
Rizzo getting the grounder and Cole pointing to first base
and the aftermath of that's when that's the moment you
knew all the Yankees are giving this away. The Dodgers
are winning the World Series tonight, right, you think, okay,
we're going to Game six. They're gonna get it tonight. Okay,
the Dodgers have two chances to win the World Series.
(10:54):
Yankees are getting back in it. And it was, Oh,
you can just tell you it was that was in
the air that you knew that this is this is
just not that in Fajo. Yeah, that in fat Joe,
Fat Joe should have been your first sign that something
was gonna go bad, that was gonna go badly. But
that was the moment. I can't see.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It's just always still gonna be the was everybody unavailable,
There wasn't someone in the crowd bigger.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh, I thought you meant to play first pace here? Well,
not too bad, Joe, I thought you had to play
first base for Rihzam. Nobody in the crowd can come play.
By that point, he was done. I mean madly shave
those side boons to get out there.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
But he's a guy that, based on reputation in his history,
didn't realize that he ended as a two to sixty
one career hitter. Because he had great you know, a
bunch of two eighty seasons, two ninety seasons to start,
and then in New York it's two forty nine to
twenty four, Uh, et cetera. So struggling down. But yeah,
the Fat Joe thing will will live in infamy. Uh
(11:49):
and certainly this play, I mean, it's it's always gonna
be dwarfed by by the air and Judge fly Ball.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
But I mean, but at.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Least he's got MVP awards. I'm gonna I'm gonna hit
some more dingers, I'm gonna win another MVP.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, it's like, okay, the good that Judge has done
has kind of outweighed that the Okay, yeah, that that
drop fly ball. Okay, but you know, and still you
have the Orizino play that and and the and the
Garrett coleplay that takes the pressure off you say, coldplay,
it's not fix you. It's not'll fix you at DJ.
Clearly no way to fix what happened in that time.
(12:23):
So what's up right there? Now? That's where we then
it ended right there? That's what you know. But it's
like weird to see that that's someone that's gonna be
someone's legacy. You play twelve for what ho many your
fourteen years and maybe twenty eleven, right, I mean, however,
(12:43):
met all these years, he played all the good and
one that's what they remember before.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Three hundred home runs, nearly one thousand career RBI. Uh,
pretty decent strikeout to walk race, show on base percentage,
all that stuff. As I said, MVP top five vote,
get her a couple of times and by my count,
four gold gloves.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
But he's going to be remembered for the play that
didn't get made, no matter how much we pointed Garrett Cole,
no matter how much was his fault not getting there,
Rizo not being able to get there. Yeah, that's the
play there, there's your legacy, right, Look how olde become Anthony?
Congratulations on your time, but yeah, great, Hey, any more
thoughts on that play in the fifth inning of the
World Series I won in twenty sixteen, chew my exit

He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. He is,
(15:45):
of course a Hall of very good voter putting very
good players in the Hall of Fame now for over
twenty years. It is Jason Cole.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
What's happening, man, I've been it's actually been years, yeah,
twelve years, been playing a Hall of famers in the Hall.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
It was over twenty years. I thought you, I thought
you're putting players in now twelve years now.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
It was the first year I did. It was the
year that Warren sapp went in. So I can't remember
whatever year that was. Warren Sapiner, Okay, now you know
have then it was decided to be a jerk ball
and rag On Mike Straham.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh, you know, I'm glad we got tonight because I
wanted to ask you. We did the story yesterday. I
know if you saw this with the college football AP
voter that voted Florida to move up two spots in
the AP poll despite the fact they lost to South
Florida and didn't put South Florida in. And she went
on and defended it by saying, Hey, it doesn't matter
how do you vote. There's enough votes that that everything
(16:41):
evens out and it doesn't matter where you vote for.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
So who is that voter?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
She works for the Southern California News group Born Newsgroup.
Hailey Sawyer, Yeah, Hailey Sawyer. She put it and we
talked about it. Let's like, wow, that's people like knowing, Yeah,
your vote doesn't count. What do you.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
The good logic we had a good run. Yeah, that's
not that's not strong logic.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
That's not what we're saying good things about you last night.
Could say, hey, you know we have people, you know, luckily,
people that we know here that that that vote for
stuff like the Hall of Fame. Rob Parker votes for
the Hall of Fame, and and you know, taking your
vote seriously Steve Hartman has a Heisman Trophy vote, and
I just serious, like what your reaction would be to
that story hearing some would say, yeah, you know, however,
your vote doesn't matter. There's enough votes. It all comes
(17:27):
out in the wash. Even it really doesn't matter. It
doesn't matter in the end. It's all fun.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yeah, that's that's not that's that's not good logic.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
That's not tell that to the would be Hall of
Famer that misses my two votes.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Yeah, that's not I was like, yeah, you get next
year's coming around, don't worry about it. Yeah. Yeah, you know,
people will use a lot of justifications for lazy work.
Let's just put it that way out. Yeah, that's Haley
not strong work. So not representing the Southern California News
(18:05):
Group very well.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
What are the what are the odds you could ever
write a book or something of and or or something
where you go inside the room during a Hall of
Fame debate for players write about it.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
That's a that's a serious question. The serious answer is zero.
I mean, unless I'm just not going to do it anymore.
And I was right about it, and I got to
tell you it's not as it's not that interesting. There
are some moments that are interesting, right, but it's.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Like a fictionalized version of it where it's you know,
it's it's you're you're taking from what happened in the
rooms and you're making a fictionalized version of things.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Yeah, you mean, I want to wear it like Paul Karski,
you know, body slammed Gary Miners.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, take take Draft Day for instance.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Something like that. But that out on Twitter. Paul Karsky
body slammed Gary Myers last year during during the voting.
That's in Jason Cole. Let that one out. Don't put
that out there on Twitter and see how that See
how that rolls?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Now it's at Gary Myers.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Yes, it's just there's a lot of blathering. I got
to tell you. There's a lot of laughing. We you know,
and like people do their presentations and they work really
hard on the five minute presentation, and but there's a
(19:38):
format that's the same. And there's also like a lot
of very polite disagreement, like this guy just doesn't like Now.
There have been some moments, and I can speak from
my own experience, you know last year, last year when
we were arguing over the guy from the chiefs who
played during the sixties and seven Jim what was I
(20:02):
can't remember his name at the moment. You know, like
that was pretty heartfelt and serious. But that was a
very serious case and a very serious situation that needed
to be discussed. But most of the time, it's you know,
you know, you're separating among truly great players, right, I mean,
(20:25):
you know, all kidding about Hall a very good a side.
You know, when you're get getting down to fifteen guys,
like there's there's no schmucks in that room, so you
have to but you're it's like sorting out among all
the quotes from all the people who are supporting them
and like trying to figure out, Okay, does that mean anything?
(20:47):
Or do I just go straight along the lines of
looking at all pros, do I look at championships? How
do I put it all together? And you're working, you know,
you're kind of working the equation on your head as
you go along. But it's not as dramatic as you think.
I just put it that way. I mean, it's a
great discussion, don't get me wrong, and there are some
lively moments, but if you were to talk about the
(21:10):
fact that this lasts eight to ten hours. Not the
kind of stuff that makes for riveting reading in a book.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Jim Tyre, I believe is the gentleman you were.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Jim Tyrer was. Jim Tyr was a really difficult case,
you know, because you know, to those who don't remember
from last year he had probably had CT, we don't
know that he had CT. But you know, he killed
himself and he killed his wife, and he was up
for eligibily last year and as I said, I just
(21:40):
am good conscience. I couldn't vote for him. I just
couldn't do it. And I was, you know, outfront with that,
and it was you know, some other people said similar things.
Other people were more open minded about it. But ultimately
he did not get elected. So that was a very
very serious situation that we had to get into.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Jason Golard, Yes here the Jason Smith Show with Mike
I'm in here. Fox Sports Radio joins us each and
every week at Jason Coles sixty two, writer of many
books that you can find on Amazon, and a Hall
of Fame voter. We're blessed to call him, but.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Including my favorite, shut Up for your Kids? Not that great?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I say that to a Smith all the time.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Yeah, not as not as well researched as a John
Elway biography, but nonetheless interesting reading.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I just tell Smith he's not that great.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
But as we get ready for week two, all right,
who's hitting the panic button faster that plunger in Kansas
City or San Francisco?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Well, Kansas City is more likely. Well, Kim City. It's
Kinsey Philly. Interesting matchup, but k has a chance because
of Philly's defense is not right at this point in time,
so that that gives him a better chance. But I
(22:58):
still think Kim City is Art's out the season h
one two and they're kind of reeling and trying, you know,
waiting for Worthy to get healthy. Yeah, the forty nine ers, fuck,
you expect you sort of expected rock Perty is going
to missed some time. You didn't you were hoping it
wasn't going to be in a week two. But I
wouldn't be tanicking about facing the Saints. I would think
(23:20):
you could still have a shot to win that game.
And I know it's Mac Jones, so I probably shouldn't
have said that, but I'll give you know, I'll give
them a puncher's chance in that game. Like like the
team that really should be panicking is the Dolphins. But
the Dolphins are going to win this week because it's
(23:41):
Sunday at one o'clock and playing a Sunday game in
September in Miami is like, you know, like the seventh
version of Hell in Dante's Inferno. Like it's just it's terrible,
like And the Dolphins went like seventy six percent of
the time at one o'clock games, you know, in September,
(24:03):
so like they should win that game, but they got
really serious problems with the way that their offenses run
and the way that it operates, and well it didn't show.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Up for Week one.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Jam.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I mean, I know that they should win. So they
showed up Like the seasons they turned out like McDaniel.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
It's a deeper thing about mc you know. Look, I
like Mike McDaniel, Like like Chip Kelly, I didn't really
like personally, but Chip Kelly, you can look at his
offense and go, you know, you don't block anybody, at
least when he was in Philadelphia, right, like, nobody gets blocked,
and that happened and Philly, it happened to San Francisco.
(24:40):
I didn't really watch the Raiders game. You know, I
saw a few of the highlights, but I didn't really
study what they were doing on offense in the first week.
But mcdana has fallen in the same kind of trap
where they don't really hit people. And you know, you
can do all the really fancy exens that I was
all you want and have fun with with, you know,
(25:01):
fast guys and all that that cool stuff, But football
comes down. You have to hit people, and you have
to you have to be physical at some point in time.
You don't have to always be the most physical team,
but you have to have a requisite level of being physical,
and they weren't at all in the first game of
the season. And I don't think that that system lends
(25:23):
itself to being physical, certainly in offense, because it's more
about spacing and speed and all these other fun things,
these track me kinds of things that just that just
don't work long term. And that's where I think that
this thing is going to just sail. They're going to
blow up the whole thing. I mean, mcdad be gone,
CHRISTI are really gone to what would be gone. Let's
(25:43):
just start the whole thing over. And I hate to
say that after one week, especially when I think they're
going to win this week. But like long term, like
that just looks like a disaster to me, and it's
been because it's been building this way for the past season. Plot.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
But I look at the Dolphins, Jay and I go
and I say, I think they're just done already, Like,
I mean, you don't show up like that for week one,
you know, I mean that that's the take one of
the bad losses. The Bears had a bad loss, all
the bad losses, that's the worst one.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
I'm not that is the worst loss. I agree, I
agree with that. I mean the you know, the the
Ravens loss is pretty was pretty brutal emotionally, but you
know that, you know that they're good. You know, yes,
it's a bad loss, But I'm just saying that there's
mitigating factors that will allow them to win a couple
of games, because again, the Patriots are going to are
(26:39):
about to go into ninety degree temperatures with you know,
eighty five percent humidity. It is not weather that is
supposed to be for human beings to play football, and
they're going to do that and they're going to be
Like I remember watching Ted Washington in a game in
September in Miami and in the third order, he just
(27:00):
stood there at one point like there was the ball
was snap and he just stood there. He didn't move,
he didn't go anywhere, he didn't do anything, and Tim
Ruddy and hid like they just held each.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Other up like it was a pre season game.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Yeah, because because Ted, I mean he was like, you know,
God bless Ted, you know, like he's my kind of
player because he's a big, old fat guy like me,
and he was like three hundred and sixty pounds and
like you just tell like his whole body said, we
don't want to be here, don't go anywhere. Just stand
here like like his mind may have been telling him,
(27:36):
I've got to go, like take a step forward, his
body said, no, you're not going anywhere, and we're gonna
we're we are going to allow Tim Ruddy, who you
have rag dolls before. By the way, Tim Ruddy, you know,
we're going to allow Tim Ruddy to block you because
we don't want to go anywhere. That's what his legs
were saying to him at that moment.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is
at Jason Cole sixty oh, I'm going.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
To tell you about the Jim when Jim Harbaugh. This
is a great one. We got to go this Jim Harbaugh.
It was the only game I ever played in August.
Remember when they opened the season, like on August thirty first.
I think that was like nineteen ninety eight or something
like that. Okay, So they play at one o'clock game
in Miami at one o'clock and Harbor comes in and
(28:25):
he takes him step out of the game after midway
through the third quarter. He just couldn't go because he,
you know, like he had IVS and everything at halftime
and his body locked up on him. So I basically
rode after the game that was no Moss games, you know.
And yeah, he you know, And because the Dolphins won,
(28:49):
Like twelve weeks later, they go to Indianapolis and Indianapolis
just torches the Dolphins like forty one to ten or
something like that. And Harbaugh after the game is Jason
Cole here, And I didn't go for a reason. It
wasn't because of that, but I couldn't go for a
family reason, right, So I wasn't there, and they say, no,
(29:10):
Jason couldn't make it for the game. He goes, tell
him that was just moss Jim So Jim Harbaugh, he
couldn't let it go for like.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Reason, look at you.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Bulletin board providers a classic.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Of all time.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Next week there goes Jason cole I love that Harball.
He's got more good Jim Harbaugh stories than anybody. There's
a lot of stuff circling out there, like he'll write
that book when when Harbaugh is done, like I think,
and it's going to be amazing. You're gonna hear stories
about Jim Harbin around at dinner table. Oh my god,
you mean the Harballs or him and Jason Cole well
(29:55):
where he gets invited to the Harbor dinner table to
spin some yarns. Maybe no calls band from dinner. Maybe
it's banned time not to find out what's trending in
the wide world of sports. From Miss Bobblehead herself, who
caught me trying to steal her o Tawi Bobblehead ten
minutes ago. Yes, you did pretty good, barely. I almost
(30:17):
made it out the door, and then the Bobblehead like
kind of clicked. A little something happened.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
You put some kind of thing in there, and you
do realize once you get it, you make my job easier.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I'll just take you out. It's mont.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I would love to see you know what, come take it.
I would love to see what happens.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Once you take it by you and Frostburg. All right,
let's check in on baseball.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Why not.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
We've got two games going on right now. Cardinals and
Mariners are tied out one apiece. It's the top of
the seventh inning. Rangers already beat the Brewers six to
three to complete a three games sweep. Texas is one
game back of the Mariners for the final walk card
spot in the A L. But again they're tied right
now with the Cardinals won a piece in Seattle, top
of the seventh inning. It's all so far against The
Rockies are up four zero at Dodger Stadium bottom of
(31:03):
the sixth, then about to start Billy's over the Mets
eleven to three. Reds held on two to one against
the Padres, and the Diamondbacks top the Giants five to three.
San Francisco and Cincinnati are two games back of New
York for the five on Waldcart spot in the nationally.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
The Reds also has the tiebreaker.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Over the Mets keep that in mind. Tiger's crushed the
Yankees eleven to two, Carlos Carrea with his two hundredth
career home run, as the Astros defeated the Blue Jays
three to two, Angels top the Twins four to three,
Royals edge of the Guardians four to three, and the
Cubs took down the Braves three to two. In NFL news,
Cowboys could be without their quarnerback Drawn Bland for a
(31:38):
couple of weeks because of a right foot injury suffered
in Monday's practice. This is not the same injury that
he suffered last season that caused him to miss seven games.
Forty nine Ers maybe without quarterback brock Perty for a
couple of weeks. It's a long shot that he's gonna
play in Week two because of his toe and shoulder injuries,
and head coach Kyle Shanahan added that he could miss
multiple games because of those injuries. The Packers gave wide
(32:01):
receiver Christian Watson a one year extension. He is now
under contract through the twenty twenty six season, and NBA
Commissioner Adam Silver said that the league has no news
on the expansion, despite the topic being discussed by the
league's Board of Governors today they are investigating the gambling
allegations made against Malik Beasley, despite the FBI never really
charging Beasley. But that's what was announced today by Adam
(32:23):
Silver and.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Also those.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
Not yet not yet, and then those heaves, you know,
the half court heaves as time is going, they're not
going to count anymore towards the pearl layer towards the player.
So if you missed the shot, it just goes towards
the team and they're stupid.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Did he say how many trees Kawhi Leonard planted to No, Okay,
he did.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Not say that. He's going they're looking into it. It's
the NBA's job to.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Figure out what's the old NCAA investigations, Like seven years
from now, Kawhi Leonards hanging out on an island somewhere,
and then SGA.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
Goes back to the Clippers because they're gonna avoid the trade.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Can be able to get like ten Kawhi Clipper jerseys
for like ten.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Bucks, it'd be such a good day. Yeah. The NBA
looking into things is like, uh, is like me. It's
like me saying I'll take the garbage out.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Show. No no, No, You're not gonna happen. Yeah, there
you go, Thank you man. Yes, coming up next, Hey,
we are less than twenty four hours away from Week
two of the NFL. We have a great game to
kick it off with Who's going home with the w
the Commanders or the Packers? Plus a big bull prediction
for the game. It's coming up next right here, Jason
and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Oh,
I got some big trivia coming up in a few minutes,
big trip, big time sports questions, my wife's trivia, and
night tonight, I have some fun stuff for you guys.
Who's the worst team in baseball right now? The New
(34:13):
York Mets right, very good. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
The Rockies got snelled today with.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
The iHeart Radio, but they're the worst team no matter
who's pitching. He's been skipping everybody.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Snell.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah, but Matt Snell, former Jets running back, could be pitching.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
And I don't think he slept coming into this game.
The pressure was so heavy on probably playing those jokes.
I feel like I've aged three years watching it. Pitch
it has spent a long game.

(35:00):
less than twenty four hours away from game or from
Week two of the NFL, and we have another big
game coming your way on Thursday night, right, Commanders and
the Packers. I mean, look, we had two really great
matchups last week and two terrific games. Tons of stuff
to talk about tomorrow night, the same thing. The Packers
really embarrass the Lions week one. Here come the Commanders
after a very workmanlike and boring victory of the Giants.
(35:23):
So yeah, I mean they didn't look great, but day
easy score. I kind of feel like the Commanders against
the Giants week one is like when a college football
team plays a real patsy week one and they have
a big game week two, and like, you know what,
we're not gonna run all our best plays because we
don't want to let them know that we do that.
So they keep the playbook really vanilla, and it's like
(35:45):
it's a week two like all, because you can't go
back on tape and look and see, hey we ran this,
we ran this, or so I kind of feel like
that's kind of what the commanders said. Listen, it's the Giants.
We're not gonna go crazy. Hey, we want to we
want to keep everything fresh for that Thursday night game.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Now, to be fair, you said, that's kind of what
Michigan did before they were playing Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, it didn't work out for them. No, not sobout
this one. I think might have better results. Yeah maybe,
but last week, I mean, they have a better quarterback
than Michigan.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
We could not find the moon ball from Russell Wilson
in week one. So Billy Gavers says, everything's okay. Though
if Brian Dable went and spoke for like nine minutes
before he took a question, yeah, we'll get to that.
She's never done in his life.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
We'll get to that plan to that next hour. But
how do I see this game on Thursday night. I'll
tell you, and I got a bold prediction. First thing
I'm to tell you is this, These are the games.
Games like this, This is where the Packers' front office
looks at each other, they shake hands, con graduate each other,
and go These are the games we got Micah Parsons for.
(36:43):
Because a game when you talk about having an electric
quarterback on the other side, that is going to make
it much more difficult for him to run roughshot over
your team. The dual threat that Jaye and Daniels is
and he is fantastic already. He's a top five, top
six quarterback in the game. This is why they went
out and got Micah Parsons. This is why not last
week against the Lions, where hey, this is a big offense, right,
(37:04):
they like to throw the football, but Jared Goff is
not gonna go crazy. And yes, you want to make
sure you know where Micah Parsons is, but they every
team has a big guy that can get after the quarterback,
but games like this where quarterbacks can can do a
couple of different things, it gets a little bit different
when you have to worry about Micah Parsons. This is
why they went out and got him. He is a
difference maker and holding Jane Daniels down. The Commander's offense
(37:26):
is not great yet. You're still kind of reintegrating Terry
McLaurin back after getting the big contract in it. They
didn't look like they were really in sync as much
last week. It'll take a little bit, right and I
told you that, Look, the Commanders are gonna wind up
being really good. Everything is fine with them. Yes, an
opener and emotional opener for Green Bay because they really
tagged the Lions and it was a shocker for a
lot of us to see them just hold the offense
(37:47):
down as much as they did. But being at home
is enough. I'm gonna go with the Packers tomorrow night.
They cover, and I'll give you this bold statement. Josh
Jacobs over one hundred yards and at least one touchdown.
It's been averaging sixty seven yards a game, last four
or five games. Is over under his eighty this week
right now. We talked about it on DraftKings. Give me
the over. You know that the Packers have been waiting
(38:10):
to have a game where hey, we're gonna unleash Josh Jacobs. Right.
I read a bit today where Lafloor keeps waiting and
asking Josh Jacobs, hey you ready? How do you feel?
How do you feel? You know they want to have
a game where they give him the football a ton
and this is where you do it in those short
weeks when your offense can run things. He gets the
carries tomorrow night over one hundred yards. Packers win and they.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Cover Packers a three point home favorite. We're looking at
a line of forty eight and a half, so expecting
some fireworks in this one. Josh Jacobs the only one
as a favorite to find the end zone at minus
two thirty. Terry mcglourin coming in next at plus one
fifty ahead of Deebo, Samuel and the gadgetry there. We
(38:51):
had him in the DraftKings as well at seven and
a half rushing yards take in the over there. The
big thing for Washington is the upgrade on the offensive line.
They did the job for Jind last year and now
it's the you added Laramie Tunsel. Still integrating there, but
at least personnel wise, you have the horses to try
(39:11):
to slow Micah Parsons down on a big level. I'm
not as.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Bullish for them over the course of a season, and
here's a massive test up front on a short week. Now,
you did have the benefit of the Giants, but we
expected their their defense to hold and and they they
did to a degree, right, and just the the offense
couldn't get out of its way, hence all of the
hand ringing and the infighting that is already flowing out
(39:35):
of there. I think the Packers defense is too much.
I think we take the under in this game. We
don't get fireworks on either side, and so I'll go
that route here. But the Packers get the get the
w at home, and you're gonna get another Micah Parsons base.
Like I really want to see the Khalil Mack when
he got traded to the Bears run where every week
(39:56):
was a strip, sack and a touchdown for Khalil Mack
and John Gruden had to sit there and say, I
had another one. He had like what six weeks in
a row with the strips?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Yeah, he had yeah, fun run, no question about it.
Will he do the Roman reigns Acknowledge me to the
sky again again? This is why they went out. This
is games like this, It's why you go get Micah
Parsons and he's gonna be the difference maker. Tomorrow night,
Jerry Jones gets to watch him on national TV.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Go at it. Oh, tomorrow Night's gonna be fun. Did
they call me back for land Man Season two?
Speaker 5 (40:26):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
I really want the two screen experience where you get
to watch Jerry Jones watching this game.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Let's monetize it. We can do that. Let's go there. Jerry,
I got an idea.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swallowing dome. Hey, we
got some fun trivia and a big quarterback story. Next

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, like snow night.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Let me say this, Hey Dad, oh Tony got a hit.
Now it's on you. Our streak is now at fifteen games,
or beat thestreak at MLB dot com. Tomorrow's Thursday. Put
something and he's got the tough he's got getaway day tomorrow.
But what good look get away? But under these half
ass rules, he doesn't have to make a pick. Yeah,
he could skip a.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Day, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
But I basically you might just say, well, it's a short,
short slate, getaway day.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
No, no, no, half aass lineups. Guys coming out of
the lineups.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Early, you do realize you don't win anything until you
get forty nine more right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Not forty nine. We got to get with fifteen. Yeah,
that's forty two. The long road begins at that first step.
But I want to say this, it's easy tomorrow. Just
just take any phillies batter any phillies matter against the Mets,
and what doesn't matter first guy in the lineup, sever
is pitching tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
And then for sure take any met Friday night against
the Grom Right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, absolutely, because that's great because the Mets the way
they get to finish with the Phillies, to go to
the hottest team in baseball again. When there's ten games left,
the Mets are gonna be looking up at the playoffs.
The Giants are gonna be in, or the Reds, or
the Giants and the Reds, maybe the Diamondbacks too. Mike,
how many strikeouts for de Grom Friday night? At least? Yeah,
but he can't. He can't pitch that deep in the
game anymore. Nah, you can't. No, it's the Metsna. What
(02:37):
a day for Jacob de Grom. He's got four strikeouts
here in the first inning. He instructed his catcher to
let strike three go to the backstop so he could
strike out another guy here in the first Actually, bet
a perfect game. Uh, it will be a big game,
no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
The Mets. Look they're gonna lose again tomorrow. Those again.
I'm telling you, they're just giving it, just giving it away.
It's just giving it away. It's all Francisco Lidor said
to Night. Yeah, things haven't clicked for us this year. Dude.
Come on, man, that's like seventeen games left. What do
you mean, Oh, things haven't clicked? Forth find it. Find
it right now.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
He's five for thirty in the month of September. He
has done his job. It's how I feel when you
do an escape room and like the process. You have
five minutes left. Oh, we're not going to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
What do you mean, let's go. We got five minutes left.
Let's finish this escape room. Let's get out of here.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
That ranks among one of the things I have no
desire to. Escape rooms are fun.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Escape rooms are fun, man, Like you go and and
and you think, you think going where you go? If
you want to walk out on the Jets or Mets. SKay, no,
you got it. That's how if you're watching a game,
you press a button at game comes with an escape room.
Yeah if that is, yeah, you get. It's like the
parachute cord. It's like in Star Wars when three PO
and R two just go into the escape pod, go leaving,
(03:47):
leaving the leaving the Jets game.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, it's the mini spoiler. I mean, it's it's all
up there. Peacemaker. Whenever he's tired of his current living, Okay,
he's got a place where he just goes and head
hits a couple of buttons and walks into a different earth.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, that't you get I go to the next earth.
Let me just look at the stand. How long are
you to be on this earth for? I don't only
get online real fast and see what the Mets record is.
I'm trying to get back to that one. I'm happy there.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I'm believing this earth. I'm so late. I'm back in
nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I'm gone. No, escape rooms are fun. It depends on
the level of escape room that you do. Like there's easy, medium,
and hard, and we thought, hey the easy escape yeah,
medium escape from Yeah, we did a hard escape from
It's like your time is up saw.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, but exactly what if you didn't read the fine
print and bad things?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Someone someone gets hobbled?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
What I want to play a game? But I think
that that could be a movie, right, escape room? But
they really kill you at the end or something, or
do they already do that movie? I can't believe. No,
But like a family goes in and you meet a
couple of people, you're do an escaping, but you find
out it's like run by by some kind of lunatics
kind of midsummer. Yeah, yeah, well, I'm not saying that's
(04:55):
gonna happen to you, but like, you know, that's the movie.
It's like, oh, where are you? Suddenly you're dressed like
a You're in like a big you can't move it all,
but you can see and hear everything going on a
bear with a big smile on you. Hell of a movie.
That sequel's gotta be coming out soon. Cocaine Bear Too's
gotta be coming out. Yeah, of course, dude, the first
one was amazingly good. Of course it's gonna be. They're
gonna fu Cocaine Bear too. It's gonna be the Cocaine
(05:17):
Bear's son who's gonna come back and avenge the Cocaine
Bear from the first one. Yeah, evidently it was. Uh
Elizabeth Banks was, I did direct a sequel. I think
there's gonna be a Cocaine Bear universe, Like you gonna
get Cocaine Bear. You might be getting uh uh you know,
uh marijuana.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
D layoff.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Like you know, I don't know, you'll get something like
you're gonna hoole Cocaine Bear universe. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I think that would have been great. And then they
all battle like it's Freddy versus Jason. Uh so a
big retirement to get to today. It's kind of fun
because we saw him really living it up last night.
Uh at at at the game. Anthony Rizzo, former Cubs legend,
Yankee legend, retiring after fourteen years in Major League baseball.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Him and his wife. He's like, oh yeah, he's like
crushing a beer on camera, having fun. Retired today from baseball.
You kind of left it open to see if he
would get signed this season. It didn't work out, so
he retired from the game. Anthony Rizza. And look, this
is why I told you I'm getting old, because now
I've been on the air basically for his entire career, right,
and now he's retired. This is how weird sports is sometimes,
(06:31):
is that he had an incredibly good career, right, won
a World Series with the Cubs, their first World Series
in ninety years, and he and Chris Bryant were the
lynchpins of that team. They were the two biggest players.
To talk about Rizzo and Bryant in twenty sixteen. It
was these guys were gods in Chicago, and he had
a great career. He had a really really good career, right,
(06:51):
That was Anthony Rizzo. But when you say, hey, Anthony Rizzo.
The first thing that comes to mind, or what his
legacy is gonna be, is this play.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Oh coming to best my ground ball weekly hits the
first Grizzo has to go himself and bet S beats
it out. Cole forgotten to cover, so the Dodger's score.
It's a weak little ground ball the first.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
John Sterling Yankees making it sound like this no big deal.
Meanwhile the Yankees are melting down one of the big
plays from the fifth inning of the World Series Game five,
whe the Yankees going with a five to nothing lead
and they give it all away. Of course you get
Aaron Judge dropping a fly ball as well, and you
can tell right there that John Sterling has at it.
That might have been the moment that broke john Sterling.
(07:37):
You know what, I'm done? No, I think Joe coming
out did that I'm done. Oh, that could have been
it too, That could have been it. That was the
moment that we're done.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
That was the what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah? But when you say to me, Anthony Rizzo, that's
the play I think if I think of him feeling
the ground and looking and being in no man's land,
and Garrett Cole pointing to first Ba's like, you take
it yourself, man, Like, that's Rizzo's legacy because that was
an that was the play that you know, another one
that helped turn the tie and the Dodgers win the
World Series and the Yankees their entire existence now is
(08:08):
the Yankees are fundamentally awful, right, the Yankees are a
little league team, like because because of that inning, and
that was the play more so than Judge dropping the
fly ball, because look if Judge's fault takes his eye
off it because he thought key A. Hearn Anders was
wandering too far off the bag, you got to catch that.
But you gotta make that play and that play because
it was just so bad that it really helped open
(08:29):
the floodgates for the inning. Was the Yankees look back
and say we lost that World Series. That you know,
Nester Cortez GOINGO, No, everybody's forgetting my walk off in
Game one against Freddy Freeman. But that's what we point
back to. That inning. That inning has become famous in
baseball lexicon. It will be famous for the next fifty years,
that inning of the Yankees and the Dodge where the
Yankees couldn't field anything, and it gave the Dodgers the
(08:50):
winning the World Series. That play that when you think
of Anthony Rizzo, his legacy, that's the play that comes
to everybody's mind. Well, they still haven't been.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Able to purge that from their locker room. They still
struggle with fundamentals all year long. I mean, Aaron Boone,
We've watched him walk to a podium with his arms extended.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Like like, I know what you're gonna ask, just gonna
be not man.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
The problem is they kept that problem and I think
they passed a little of it on to the Dodgers.
So now you got a little bit of an it
follows kind of scenario where we've got we've got that
that around where we watched the fundamentals and problems uh
in the on the base paths and and in the
field all year long, in addition to stuff of the bullpen.
But Rizzle was a guy that when he came up
(09:31):
with the Cubs that run, He and Bryant and then
you had some of those other young players right that
that went away. He was one of the last guys
to uh get shuffled off when he finally left what
twenty one. I think it was that he finally went
to New York. But that was the core that was
gonna win forever.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, they got that one, yeah yeah, right, but but
they got the one. You gotta be happy just with
that one. Live on there that night. That was a party.
You can live off that that win for for thirty years. Right,
we won because we hadn't won in ninety so we
can live off that.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Well.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
But that's it, and it's gonna be like the Bears
fortieth anniversary.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Hey, here we are.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I mean Anthony Rizzo, I mean you saw the Kings
welcome that he got yesterday. I mean that was just
to absurd. But I mean you go back to the
run he had from twenty fourteen to twenty seventeen, thirty two,
thirty one, thirty two, thirty two, and each of those
the last three years with one following one hundred RBI seasons,
(10:30):
couple of top five MVP runs, couple of gold gloves
mixed in.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Guy had a hell of a run. Yeah, and then
he'll be remembered for that play being part of the meltdown,
Rizzo getting the grounder and Cole pointing to first base
and the aftermath of that's when that's the moment you
knew all the Yankees are giving this away. The Dodgers
are winning the World Series tonight, right, you think, okay,
we're going to Game six. They're gonna get it tonight. Okay,
the Dodgers have two chances to win the World Series.
(10:54):
Yankees are getting back in it. And it was, Oh,
you can just tell you it was that was in
the air that you knew that this is this is
just not that in Fajo. Yeah, that in fat Joe,
Fat Joe should have been your first sign that something
was gonna go bad, that was gonna go badly. But
that was the moment. I can't see.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It's just always still gonna be the was everybody unavailable,
There wasn't someone in the crowd bigger.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh, I thought you meant to play first pace here? Well,
not too bad, Joe, I thought you had to play
first base for Rihzam. Nobody in the crowd can come play.
By that point, he was done. I mean madly shave
those side boons to get out there.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
But he's a guy that, based on reputation in his history,
didn't realize that he ended as a two to sixty
one career hitter. Because he had great you know, a
bunch of two eighty seasons, two ninety seasons to start,
and then in New York it's two forty nine to
twenty four, Uh, et cetera. So struggling down. But yeah,
the Fat Joe thing will will live in infamy. Uh
(11:49):
and certainly this play, I mean, it's it's always gonna
be dwarfed by by the air and Judge fly Ball.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
But I mean, but at.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Least he's got MVP awards. I'm gonna I'm gonna hit
some more dingers, I'm gonna win another MVP.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, it's like, okay, the good that Judge has done
has kind of outweighed that the Okay, yeah, that that
drop fly ball. Okay, but you know, and still you
have the Orizino play that and and the and the
Garrett coleplay that takes the pressure off you say, coldplay,
it's not fix you. It's not'll fix you at DJ.
Clearly no way to fix what happened in that time.
(12:23):
So what's up right there? Now? That's where we then
it ended right there? That's what you know. But it's
like weird to see that that's someone that's gonna be
someone's legacy. You play twelve for what ho many your
fourteen years and maybe twenty eleven, right, I mean, however,
(12:43):
met all these years, he played all the good and
one that's what they remember before.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Three hundred home runs, nearly one thousand career RBI. Uh,
pretty decent strikeout to walk race, show on base percentage,
all that stuff. As I said, MVP top five vote,
get her a couple of times and by my count,
four gold gloves.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
But he's going to be remembered for the play that
didn't get made, no matter how much we pointed Garrett Cole,
no matter how much was his fault not getting there,
Rizo not being able to get there. Yeah, that's the
play there, there's your legacy, right, Look how olde become Anthony?
Congratulations on your time, but yeah, great, Hey, any more
thoughts on that play in the fifth inning of the
World Series I won in twenty sixteen, chew my exit
(13:31):

He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. He is,
(15:45):
of course a Hall of very good voter putting very
good players in the Hall of Fame now for over
twenty years. It is Jason Cole.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
What's happening, man, I've been it's actually been years, yeah,
twelve years, been playing a Hall of famers in the Hall.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
It was over twenty years. I thought you, I thought
you're putting players in now twelve years now.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
It was the first year I did. It was the
year that Warren sapp went in. So I can't remember
whatever year that was. Warren Sapiner, Okay, now you know
have then it was decided to be a jerk ball
and rag On Mike Straham.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh, you know, I'm glad we got tonight because I
wanted to ask you. We did the story yesterday. I
know if you saw this with the college football AP
voter that voted Florida to move up two spots in
the AP poll despite the fact they lost to South
Florida and didn't put South Florida in. And she went
on and defended it by saying, Hey, it doesn't matter
how do you vote. There's enough votes that that everything
(16:41):
evens out and it doesn't matter where you vote for.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
So who is that voter?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
She works for the Southern California News group Born Newsgroup.
Hailey Sawyer, Yeah, Hailey Sawyer. She put it and we
talked about it. Let's like, wow, that's people like knowing, Yeah,
your vote doesn't count. What do you.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
The good logic we had a good run. Yeah, that's
not that's not strong logic.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
That's not what we're saying good things about you last night.
Could say, hey, you know we have people, you know, luckily,
people that we know here that that that vote for
stuff like the Hall of Fame. Rob Parker votes for
the Hall of Fame, and and you know, taking your
vote seriously Steve Hartman has a Heisman Trophy vote, and
I just serious, like what your reaction would be to
that story hearing some would say, yeah, you know, however,
your vote doesn't matter. There's enough votes. It all comes
(17:27):
out in the wash. Even it really doesn't matter. It
doesn't matter in the end. It's all fun.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yeah, that's that's not that's that's not good logic.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
That's not tell that to the would be Hall of
Famer that misses my two votes.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Yeah, that's not I was like, yeah, you get next
year's coming around, don't worry about it. Yeah. Yeah, you know,
people will use a lot of justifications for lazy work.
Let's just put it that way out. Yeah, that's Haley
not strong work. So not representing the Southern California News
(18:05):
Group very well.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
What are the what are the odds you could ever
write a book or something of and or or something
where you go inside the room during a Hall of
Fame debate for players write about it.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
That's a that's a serious question. The serious answer is zero.
I mean, unless I'm just not going to do it anymore.
And I was right about it, and I got to
tell you it's not as it's not that interesting. There
are some moments that are interesting, right, but it's.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Like a fictionalized version of it where it's you know,
it's it's you're you're taking from what happened in the
rooms and you're making a fictionalized version of things.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Yeah, you mean, I want to wear it like Paul Karski,
you know, body slammed Gary Miners.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, take take Draft Day for instance.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Something like that. But that out on Twitter. Paul Karsky
body slammed Gary Myers last year during during the voting.
That's in Jason Cole. Let that one out. Don't put
that out there on Twitter and see how that See
how that rolls?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Now it's at Gary Myers.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Yes, it's just there's a lot of blathering. I got
to tell you. There's a lot of laughing. We you know,
and like people do their presentations and they work really
hard on the five minute presentation, and but there's a
(19:38):
format that's the same. And there's also like a lot
of very polite disagreement, like this guy just doesn't like Now.
There have been some moments, and I can speak from
my own experience, you know last year, last year when
we were arguing over the guy from the chiefs who
played during the sixties and seven Jim what was I
(20:02):
can't remember his name at the moment. You know, like
that was pretty heartfelt and serious. But that was a
very serious case and a very serious situation that needed
to be discussed. But most of the time, it's you know,
you know, you're separating among truly great players, right, I mean,
(20:25):
you know, all kidding about Hall a very good a side.
You know, when you're get getting down to fifteen guys,
like there's there's no schmucks in that room, so you
have to but you're it's like sorting out among all
the quotes from all the people who are supporting them
and like trying to figure out, Okay, does that mean anything?
(20:47):
Or do I just go straight along the lines of
looking at all pros, do I look at championships? How
do I put it all together? And you're working, you know,
you're kind of working the equation on your head as
you go along. But it's not as dramatic as you think.
I just put it that way. I mean, it's a
great discussion, don't get me wrong, and there are some
lively moments, but if you were to talk about the
(21:10):
fact that this lasts eight to ten hours. Not the
kind of stuff that makes for riveting reading in a book.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Jim Tyre, I believe is the gentleman you were.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Jim Tyrer was. Jim Tyr was a really difficult case,
you know, because you know, to those who don't remember
from last year he had probably had CT, we don't
know that he had CT. But you know, he killed
himself and he killed his wife, and he was up
for eligibily last year and as I said, I just
(21:40):
am good conscience. I couldn't vote for him. I just
couldn't do it. And I was, you know, outfront with that,
and it was you know, some other people said similar things.
Other people were more open minded about it. But ultimately
he did not get elected. So that was a very
very serious situation that we had to get into.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Jason Golard, Yes here the Jason Smith Show with Mike
I'm in here. Fox Sports Radio joins us each and
every week at Jason Coles sixty two, writer of many
books that you can find on Amazon, and a Hall
of Fame voter. We're blessed to call him, but.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Including my favorite, shut Up for your Kids? Not that great?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I say that to a Smith all the time.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Yeah, not as not as well researched as a John
Elway biography, but nonetheless interesting reading.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I just tell Smith he's not that great.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
But as we get ready for week two, all right,
who's hitting the panic button faster that plunger in Kansas
City or San Francisco?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Well, Kansas City is more likely. Well, Kim City. It's
Kinsey Philly. Interesting matchup, but k has a chance because
of Philly's defense is not right at this point in time,
so that that gives him a better chance. But I
(22:58):
still think Kim City is Art's out the season h
one two and they're kind of reeling and trying, you know,
waiting for Worthy to get healthy. Yeah, the forty nine ers, fuck,
you expect you sort of expected rock Perty is going
to missed some time. You didn't you were hoping it
wasn't going to be in a week two. But I
wouldn't be tanicking about facing the Saints. I would think
(23:20):
you could still have a shot to win that game.
And I know it's Mac Jones, so I probably shouldn't
have said that, but I'll give you know, I'll give
them a puncher's chance in that game. Like like the
team that really should be panicking is the Dolphins. But
the Dolphins are going to win this week because it's
(23:41):
Sunday at one o'clock and playing a Sunday game in
September in Miami is like, you know, like the seventh
version of Hell in Dante's Inferno. Like it's just it's terrible,
like And the Dolphins went like seventy six percent of
the time at one o'clock games, you know, in September,
(24:03):
so like they should win that game, but they got
really serious problems with the way that their offenses run
and the way that it operates, and well it didn't show.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Up for Week one.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Jam.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I mean, I know that they should win. So they
showed up Like the seasons they turned out like McDaniel.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
It's a deeper thing about mc you know. Look, I
like Mike McDaniel, Like like Chip Kelly, I didn't really
like personally, but Chip Kelly, you can look at his
offense and go, you know, you don't block anybody, at
least when he was in Philadelphia, right, like, nobody gets blocked,
and that happened and Philly, it happened to San Francisco.
(24:40):
I didn't really watch the Raiders game. You know, I
saw a few of the highlights, but I didn't really
study what they were doing on offense in the first week.
But mcdana has fallen in the same kind of trap
where they don't really hit people. And you know, you
can do all the really fancy exens that I was
all you want and have fun with with, you know,
(25:01):
fast guys and all that that cool stuff, But football
comes down. You have to hit people, and you have
to you have to be physical at some point in time.
You don't have to always be the most physical team,
but you have to have a requisite level of being physical,
and they weren't at all in the first game of
the season. And I don't think that that system lends
(25:23):
itself to being physical, certainly in offense, because it's more
about spacing and speed and all these other fun things,
these track me kinds of things that just that just
don't work long term. And that's where I think that
this thing is going to just sail. They're going to
blow up the whole thing. I mean, mcdad be gone,
CHRISTI are really gone to what would be gone. Let's
(25:43):
just start the whole thing over. And I hate to
say that after one week, especially when I think they're
going to win this week. But like long term, like
that just looks like a disaster to me, and it's
been because it's been building this way for the past season. Plot.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
But I look at the Dolphins, Jay and I go
and I say, I think they're just done already, Like,
I mean, you don't show up like that for week one,
you know, I mean that that's the take one of
the bad losses. The Bears had a bad loss, all
the bad losses, that's the worst one.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
I'm not that is the worst loss. I agree, I
agree with that. I mean the you know, the the
Ravens loss is pretty was pretty brutal emotionally, but you
know that, you know that they're good. You know, yes,
it's a bad loss, But I'm just saying that there's
mitigating factors that will allow them to win a couple
of games, because again, the Patriots are going to are
(26:39):
about to go into ninety degree temperatures with you know,
eighty five percent humidity. It is not weather that is
supposed to be for human beings to play football, and
they're going to do that and they're going to be
Like I remember watching Ted Washington in a game in
September in Miami and in the third order, he just
(27:00):
stood there at one point like there was the ball
was snap and he just stood there. He didn't move,
he didn't go anywhere, he didn't do anything, and Tim
Ruddy and hid like they just held each.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Other up like it was a pre season game.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Yeah, because because Ted, I mean he was like, you know,
God bless Ted, you know, like he's my kind of
player because he's a big, old fat guy like me,
and he was like three hundred and sixty pounds and
like you just tell like his whole body said, we
don't want to be here, don't go anywhere. Just stand
here like like his mind may have been telling him,
(27:36):
I've got to go, like take a step forward, his
body said, no, you're not going anywhere, and we're gonna
we're we are going to allow Tim Ruddy, who you
have rag dolls before. By the way, Tim Ruddy, you know,
we're going to allow Tim Ruddy to block you because
we don't want to go anywhere. That's what his legs
were saying to him at that moment.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is
at Jason Cole sixty oh, I'm going.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
To tell you about the Jim when Jim Harbaugh. This
is a great one. We got to go this Jim Harbaugh.
It was the only game I ever played in August.
Remember when they opened the season, like on August thirty first.
I think that was like nineteen ninety eight or something
like that. Okay, So they play at one o'clock game
in Miami at one o'clock and Harbor comes in and
(28:25):
he takes him step out of the game after midway
through the third quarter. He just couldn't go because he,
you know, like he had IVS and everything at halftime
and his body locked up on him. So I basically
rode after the game that was no Moss games, you know.
And yeah, he you know, And because the Dolphins won,
(28:49):
Like twelve weeks later, they go to Indianapolis and Indianapolis
just torches the Dolphins like forty one to ten or
something like that. And Harbaugh after the game is Jason
Cole here, And I didn't go for a reason. It
wasn't because of that, but I couldn't go for a
family reason, right, So I wasn't there, and they say, no,
(29:10):
Jason couldn't make it for the game. He goes, tell
him that was just moss Jim So Jim Harbaugh, he
couldn't let it go for like.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Reason, look at you.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Bulletin board providers a classic.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Of all time.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Next week there goes Jason cole I love that Harball.
He's got more good Jim Harbaugh stories than anybody. There's
a lot of stuff circling out there, like he'll write
that book when when Harbaugh is done, like I think,
and it's going to be amazing. You're gonna hear stories
about Jim Harbin around at dinner table. Oh my god,
you mean the Harballs or him and Jason Cole well
(29:55):
where he gets invited to the Harbor dinner table to
spin some yarns. Maybe no calls band from dinner. Maybe
it's banned time not to find out what's trending in
the wide world of sports. From Miss Bobblehead herself, who
caught me trying to steal her o Tawi Bobblehead ten
minutes ago. Yes, you did pretty good, barely. I almost
(30:17):
made it out the door, and then the Bobblehead like
kind of clicked. A little something happened.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
You put some kind of thing in there, and you
do realize once you get it, you make my job easier.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I'll just take you out. It's mont.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I would love to see you know what, come take it.
I would love to see what happens.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Once you take it by you and Frostburg. All right,
let's check in on baseball.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Why not.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
We've got two games going on right now. Cardinals and
Mariners are tied out one apiece. It's the top of
the seventh inning. Rangers already beat the Brewers six to
three to complete a three games sweep. Texas is one
game back of the Mariners for the final walk card
spot in the A L. But again they're tied right
now with the Cardinals won a piece in Seattle, top
of the seventh inning. It's all so far against The
Rockies are up four zero at Dodger Stadium bottom of
(31:03):
the sixth, then about to start Billy's over the Mets
eleven to three. Reds held on two to one against
the Padres, and the Diamondbacks top the Giants five to three.
San Francisco and Cincinnati are two games back of New
York for the five on Waldcart spot in the nationally.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
The Reds also has the tiebreaker.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Over the Mets keep that in mind. Tiger's crushed the
Yankees eleven to two, Carlos Carrea with his two hundredth
career home run, as the Astros defeated the Blue Jays
three to two, Angels top the Twins four to three,
Royals edge of the Guardians four to three, and the
Cubs took down the Braves three to two. In NFL news,
Cowboys could be without their quarnerback Drawn Bland for a
(31:38):
couple of weeks because of a right foot injury suffered
in Monday's practice. This is not the same injury that
he suffered last season that caused him to miss seven games.
Forty nine Ers maybe without quarterback brock Perty for a
couple of weeks. It's a long shot that he's gonna
play in Week two because of his toe and shoulder injuries,
and head coach Kyle Shanahan added that he could miss
multiple games because of those injuries. The Packers gave wide
(32:01):
receiver Christian Watson a one year extension. He is now
under contract through the twenty twenty six season, and NBA
Commissioner Adam Silver said that the league has no news
on the expansion, despite the topic being discussed by the
league's Board of Governors today they are investigating the gambling
allegations made against Malik Beasley, despite the FBI never really
charging Beasley. But that's what was announced today by Adam
(32:23):
Silver and.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Also those.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
Not yet not yet, and then those heaves, you know,
the half court heaves as time is going, they're not
going to count anymore towards the pearl layer towards the player.
So if you missed the shot, it just goes towards
the team and they're stupid.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Did he say how many trees Kawhi Leonard planted to No, Okay,
he did.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Not say that. He's going they're looking into it. It's
the NBA's job to.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Figure out what's the old NCAA investigations, Like seven years
from now, Kawhi Leonards hanging out on an island somewhere,
and then SGA.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
Goes back to the Clippers because they're gonna avoid the trade.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Can be able to get like ten Kawhi Clipper jerseys
for like ten.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Bucks, it'd be such a good day. Yeah. The NBA
looking into things is like, uh, is like me. It's
like me saying I'll take the garbage out.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Show. No no, No, You're not gonna happen. Yeah, there
you go, Thank you man. Yes, coming up next, Hey,
we are less than twenty four hours away from Week
two of the NFL. We have a great game to
kick it off with Who's going home with the w
the Commanders or the Packers? Plus a big bull prediction
for the game. It's coming up next right here, Jason
and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

I got some big trivia coming up in a few minutes,
big trip, big time sports questions, my wife's trivia, and
night tonight, I have some fun stuff for you guys.
Who's the worst team in baseball right now? The New
(34:13):
York Mets right, very good. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
The Rockies got snelled today with.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
The iHeart Radio, but they're the worst team no matter
who's pitching. He's been skipping everybody.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Snell.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah, but Matt Snell, former Jets running back, could be pitching.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
And I don't think he slept coming into this game.
The pressure was so heavy on probably playing those jokes.
I feel like I've aged three years watching it. Pitch
it has spent a long game.

(35:00):
less than twenty four hours away from game or from
Week two of the NFL, and we have another big
game coming your way on Thursday night, right, Commanders and
the Packers. I mean, look, we had two really great
matchups last week and two terrific games. Tons of stuff
to talk about tomorrow night, the same thing. The Packers
really embarrass the Lions week one. Here come the Commanders
after a very workmanlike and boring victory of the Giants.
(35:23):
So yeah, I mean they didn't look great, but day
easy score. I kind of feel like the Commanders against
the Giants week one is like when a college football
team plays a real patsy week one and they have
a big game week two, and like, you know what,
we're not gonna run all our best plays because we
don't want to let them know that we do that.
So they keep the playbook really vanilla, and it's like
(35:45):
it's a week two like all, because you can't go
back on tape and look and see, hey we ran this,
we ran this, or so I kind of feel like
that's kind of what the commanders said. Listen, it's the Giants.
We're not gonna go crazy. Hey, we want to we
want to keep everything fresh for that Thursday night game.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Now, to be fair, you said, that's kind of what
Michigan did before they were playing Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, it didn't work out for them. No, not sobout
this one. I think might have better results. Yeah maybe,
but last week, I mean, they have a better quarterback
than Michigan.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
We could not find the moon ball from Russell Wilson
in week one. So Billy Gavers says, everything's okay. Though
if Brian Dable went and spoke for like nine minutes
before he took a question, yeah, we'll get to that.
She's never done in his life.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
We'll get to that plan to that next hour. But
how do I see this game on Thursday night. I'll
tell you, and I got a bold prediction. First thing
I'm to tell you is this, These are the games.
Games like this, This is where the Packers' front office
looks at each other, they shake hands, con graduate each other,
and go These are the games we got Micah Parsons for.
(36:43):
Because a game when you talk about having an electric
quarterback on the other side, that is going to make
it much more difficult for him to run roughshot over
your team. The dual threat that Jaye and Daniels is
and he is fantastic already. He's a top five, top
six quarterback in the game. This is why they went
out and got Micah Parsons. This is why not last
week against the Lions, where hey, this is a big offense, right,
(37:04):
they like to throw the football, but Jared Goff is
not gonna go crazy. And yes, you want to make
sure you know where Micah Parsons is, but they every
team has a big guy that can get after the quarterback,
but games like this where quarterbacks can can do a
couple of different things, it gets a little bit different
when you have to worry about Micah Parsons. This is
why they went out and got him. He is a
difference maker and holding Jane Daniels down. The Commander's offense
(37:26):
is not great yet. You're still kind of reintegrating Terry
McLaurin back after getting the big contract in it. They
didn't look like they were really in sync as much
last week. It'll take a little bit, right and I
told you that, Look, the Commanders are gonna wind up
being really good. Everything is fine with them. Yes, an
opener and emotional opener for Green Bay because they really
tagged the Lions and it was a shocker for a
lot of us to see them just hold the offense
(37:47):
down as much as they did. But being at home
is enough. I'm gonna go with the Packers tomorrow night.
They cover, and I'll give you this bold statement. Josh
Jacobs over one hundred yards and at least one touchdown.
It's been averaging sixty seven yards a game, last four
or five games. Is over under his eighty this week
right now. We talked about it on DraftKings. Give me
the over. You know that the Packers have been waiting
(38:10):
to have a game where hey, we're gonna unleash Josh Jacobs. Right.
I read a bit today where Lafloor keeps waiting and
asking Josh Jacobs, hey you ready? How do you feel?
How do you feel? You know they want to have
a game where they give him the football a ton
and this is where you do it in those short
weeks when your offense can run things. He gets the
carries tomorrow night over one hundred yards. Packers win and they.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Cover Packers a three point home favorite. We're looking at
a line of forty eight and a half, so expecting
some fireworks in this one. Josh Jacobs the only one
as a favorite to find the end zone at minus
two thirty. Terry mcglourin coming in next at plus one
fifty ahead of Deebo, Samuel and the gadgetry there. We
(38:51):
had him in the DraftKings as well at seven and
a half rushing yards take in the over there. The
big thing for Washington is the upgrade on the offensive line.
They did the job for Jind last year and now
it's the you added Laramie Tunsel. Still integrating there, but
at least personnel wise, you have the horses to try
(39:11):
to slow Micah Parsons down on a big level. I'm
not as.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Bullish for them over the course of a season, and
here's a massive test up front on a short week. Now,
you did have the benefit of the Giants, but we
expected their their defense to hold and and they they
did to a degree, right, and just the the offense
couldn't get out of its way, hence all of the
hand ringing and the infighting that is already flowing out
(39:35):
of there. I think the Packers defense is too much.
I think we take the under in this game. We
don't get fireworks on either side, and so I'll go
that route here. But the Packers get the get the
w at home, and you're gonna get another Micah Parsons base.
Like I really want to see the Khalil Mack when
he got traded to the Bears run where every week
(39:56):
was a strip, sack and a touchdown for Khalil Mack
and John Gruden had to sit there and say, I
had another one. He had like what six weeks in
a row with the strips?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Yeah, he had yeah, fun run, no question about it.
Will he do the Roman reigns Acknowledge me to the
sky again again? This is why they went out. This
is games like this, It's why you go get Micah
Parsons and he's gonna be the difference maker. Tomorrow night,
Jerry Jones gets to watch him on national TV.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Go at it. Oh, tomorrow Night's gonna be fun. Did
they call me back for land Man Season two?
Speaker 5 (40:26):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
I really want the two screen experience where you get
to watch Jerry Jones watching this game.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Let's monetize it. We can do that. Let's go there. Jerry,
I got an idea.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swallowing dome. Hey, we
got some fun trivia and a big quarterback story. Next
right here, Jason and Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.
