Speaker 2 (00:22):
Let's give this parties.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Oh, welcome to the Jacob de Gram Party, America. Pull
up a chair because we are partying, just like Jacob
de Gram did on the mound at City Field.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Alex, are you partying? I'm so turned up right now?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I know Steve's partying. Steve Pasagalago, Mike, are you partying?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I've got a disco ball spin in like you would
not believe.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Jason, what about you?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I am all for a night where Jacob deGrom has
the most run support he's ever had at City Field
in his career.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Ever.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Ever be over three games.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
He hadn't thrown a pitch, and he already had more
run support than in any game he ever pitched at
City Field.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Hello, but it was tong day.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
It was supposed to be the hero that the kids
will lead us from the mouths of babes greatness and
peace and love, and wow, he got his ass kicked.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know all I could sit here and think of
in the top of the first inning is the Rangers
scored six in de Gram's return.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
They beat the Mets eight three. I tell look, I
told you it's all. It's all.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's done. The Mets are the Mets are not making
the play forget it. By the time there's ten games left,
they'll be all but eliminated from wild card contention. And
at the end of the year, I don't know that
they even finished five hundred and Carlos Mendoza is gonna
be the guy that gets fired.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Care I've gone through all of that.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
But let me ask you both, though, and Alex chime
as well, is will this be the most empty I
hate to say I told you so in show history,
because it really does hollow out your soul when you're
right and they do miss the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
M I can't hear you. We're partying back here. What
did you say, dude?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
It is it is that stands It is empty?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I will tell you that, yes, it is empty.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But ayson, come on, get into it. All I can
say is this the right.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
All I can say is this I just in the
top of the first inning when Tong is getting ripped
and it's sick nothing before the Mets even come to bat.
All I can think of is that scene from The
Color of Money where Tom Cruise is playing against the
one guy that he tanked and lost to on purpose. Uh,
and the guy was all haughty and talking smack to him,
(03:01):
and now Tom Cruise is beating him and he just said.
This is like a nightmare, isn't it. It just keeps
getting worse and worse. That's how I'm thinking.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Watch go.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
This is like a nightmare. It just keeps getting worse
and worse. This is just the year for de Grom.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
He go seven innings and what's even more demoralizing is
he only had two strikeouts, so you did actually get
bats two.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Ball, but you got nothing completely completely.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
It's a terrible, absolutely terrible, absolutely terrible. I don't know
what to say. There's nothing I can say, like, oh, yeah,
you just wait till tomorrow. It's like they're just punching
a time clock. Wait until the end of the season.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I mean, help me threw a shutout inning, though, I
mean it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yay, horish six strikes. I mean he had an eight pit.
I mean, look at him.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Hooray, yes yy hooray, hooray.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, hooray.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
How did it feel?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Uh? You know, you know how it felt.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It felt like I was really excited to watch Steve
angel Only play quarterback tonight for Syracuse. That's how it
felt on my two screen experience that I had.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I mean, there aren't many biggers on a Friday night
than shutting you guys down for seven innings.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Well, look it is. It's also look what did I Harmy?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
The Giants tonight will be great as a Dodger fan,
that'll be awesome. But it's not gonna top this.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I mean, no, no, no, but I mean but look,
but I mean, but Harber, what what if I told
Harmon all week?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Oh, you know, bet against us tomorrow, forget it. Where
there's no.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Way we're finding Harley, we are absolutely cooked. I I
hope you're getting rich, Harmon. I hope you're getting I
hope you're you're just doubling every time you bet against
the Mets, and you're winning and winning and winning and
winning I mean, the.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Key is just knowing that eventually they'll stumble into a win.
Just once, it doesn't matter. So you've got to know
jump off that jump off for Nolan McLain and then
jump back on. That's all jump off for Nolan McLain,
and then you jump back on. That's all You're you're
taking some solace in the fact that your guy, uh
off of well, it's been an interesting week, right of
(05:01):
all your sporting events, but you're getting fifty plus from Syracuse.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah. No, it'd give up twenty four to Colgates, so
that's yeah, but that's it. But it was like thirty
eight three at half, it was it was over. It
was over.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
It's clear what he didn't want to show anything else
on defense come clearly TJ. Steve, Peanut, Butter and Jelly
maybe the next great quarterback in Syracuse history.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
DJ.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I mean, can you recreate that sullen Berman look from
that uh that picture with our guy, because if so,
you could just take over all together. He got the
voice of cadence and and silly punisms.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Uh. I think you can make this work. I might
be able to might be, but I how do you
make a living?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But yeah, yeah, me and the Palgasol guy we go
with do autographs and say that, Hey, do do your
berman Okay, sure, here you go.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Hey, will you do me a favorite? Can you put
my name in a bermanism? Sure? What's your name? Kid?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
I could do it, Just give me a minute, all right,
I could do that for you. But you can really
rake on cameo one of those services, you know, Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Man, send it in.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
I'll get your name into a song from the seventies,
you know.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
And the thing what makes this worse tonight, right is
is this is this is really heavy stuff. But it's
and and and But I don't think that it's gonna
be something that is is uh, I don't think it's
be something to even in question when he's done. Okay,
because now I watched this tonight. Watch the Mets just
give everything away, Fine, give.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
It away, give it away, give it But you can
give him a video tribute in this.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Oh yeah, and that was nice, right, They played simple
man for me. He tipped his hat to the crowd.
It was nice, No, it was nice. It was he
knew he goes, man, I'm gonna set these guys down
so easy, and he did, right, So you knew, but uh.
Tonight the Yankees and the Red Sox. Red Sox batting
right now in the bottom of the ninth Yankees winning
for to one. This is Apple TV's Game of the Night.
Aaron Judge hit a home run tonight out of Fenway Park.
(06:58):
And I don't mean deep into it. He hit it
over the Green Monster, over the stands, on the top
of the Monster, and out of Fenway Park.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It was over the Draft Kings side, I mean.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
And that's a big ass sign that they put out there.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Can I get a Draft Kings pick six and Aarren
Judge It's a home over your Draft King side. Now,
it's not just that home run, but it's the fact
that it was home run three sixty two for his career.
Now he has broken the tie for fourth place with
Joe DiMaggio on the Yankee list for franchise all time
home runs.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The guy had two home runs last night at Yankee
Stadium as they marked the anniversary of September eleventh. Second
pitch of the night tonight from Lucas Giolito, I think
it was four hundred and seventy five feet. He absolutely
crushed it. The thing to think about and how heady
is this is? Look, there's lots of great baseball teams
with all kinds of great history, right the Dodgers here
(07:55):
in LA all kinds of stars you just name him.
But throughout Major League Baseball history, no team is more
decorated in stars and in drama and in life and
in championships than the Yankees. And when Aaron Judge finishes
his career, Okay, he's thirty three right now, you see
the level he's still playing at. Right now, when he
finishes his career, we're gonna say, Aaron Judge had one
(08:19):
of the top five careers in Yankee history. And you're
gonna say, maybe it's third. I mean, who's who's ahead?
Because you have you you talk about the guys. It's
Ruth and Gerrig, Mantle, Demaggio and Jeter. Right, these are
the guys, These are the five. These are guys you've
talked about the you and I have grown up and
saying their names all the time. These are five of
(08:41):
the biggest players to ever play the game. Obviously, we
have most of a history with Jeter because we just
saw his career.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
We saw all the.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Clutch moments, three thousand hits, the captain, the two way play,
that that that he had throughout his his time as
a Yankee. Right, so Jeter, but Demaggio, Mantle, Garig and Ruth.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
There's your top five Yankee of all time, your top five.
And by the time Aaron Judge is done, like, he's
gonna be comfortably in the top five. And you're gonna say,
which Yankees do we knock out? Like, do not do
we really knock out Joe d fifty six game hitting streak, Well,
they might have a better career. He's gonna have one
hundred and fifty more home runs than Joe Demagio did. Now,
Jody did lose three of his years to war service,
(09:21):
which would have been more home runs, but I can't
count what he would have done when he didn't. But
you're gonna look at Judge's career and go, man, the numbers,
the impact, the war, everything compares incredibly well, if not
better than three of those guys on the list. Right,
he's gonna have better numbers than Jeter. But Jeter's a
better two way player, and he was the captain of
the team the World Series. I think you might go
(09:43):
at the end and go, Okay, so it was Jeter
and Ruth right, because it's hard. It's hard to cut
up seven hundred and fourteen home runs in the Championships
and the guy that really built major League Baseball and say.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, no, he's better than Ruth.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
But I think you're gonna say at the end, like
Judge might be third, like that, that's the kind of
career that he is.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
He's gonna finish one of the.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Top five careers all time for the most decorated franchise
in baseball. And you think about that for a game
that's been played for one hundred and fifty years, and
for one hundred and forty seven of them, the Yankees
have been the evil Empire. They spent five dollars on
that player. We can't spend five dollars here in eighteen
ninety seven. I know where the Highlanders, but we can't
spend where do they have that five dollars from?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
They have deep, deep pockets. I don't know where they're
going where. That's where Judges career is headed right now.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Yeah, it's an insane run that he's on right averaging
what one hundred and seventeen rbi per season over one
hundred and sixty two games, the monumental home runs and
in a day of highlights, high Adam Silver that you
just see this constantly, and when you have a home
run like this, I mean it just cuts through everything.
You can have a full slate of games, full slate
(10:51):
of college football games. That's winning tonight when you're hitting
the ball to the low and four seventy five, let's
not kid ourselves. I mean, that's a terrible estimation of
how far that ball went. But fine, we'll run with it. Look,
you're never getting past Joe d for me, because as
much as we look at the statistics, I mean, you
got the fifty six games streak. Maybe if you and
Walt are able to put together a fifty seven, I mean,
(11:12):
he'll fall in my estimation because it's you know, you
and Walt in the beat the Street contest. But he
also measures up better than anybody else. According to legend,
he was married to Marilyn and Roe and he was
mister Coffee.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
There's all things near and.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Dear to my heart that no matter what Aaron Judge does,
he's he's not top in that.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I mean, he's just not so.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I mean that like in terms of pop culture and
over arching dominance at the war effort, and it's really
tough to topple. But I mean, you didn't even get
down to Yogi Bearra, who's got more rings than anybody
in the that we outside of Bill Russell. When you
do photo shoots with those guys next to each other,
(11:54):
right and some of the others that we grew up
watching that, you know, he always wondered what was gonna
happen with their mattingly ended up having the bad back
and it stopped what was an amazing first decade for him.
But yeah, for Aaron Judge, I mean, he captivates our
imagination of what this guy still has on the books
because we still have how many more years on his
(12:15):
contract all the way through twenty thirty one. So in
pinstripes and with those short porches. When you talk about
Yankee Stadium, you talk about going up and over the monster,
we're just getting started on where those numbers are right
projected out. We're talking some record breaking stuff and a
guy that doesn't have to say much to be one
of your faces of the game, unlike his counterpart for
(12:38):
those years down in Los Angeles, in the muted city,
of Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean he's gonna have a career war most likely
of what's not Jason.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
We can't hear you.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
He's gonna have you two shots, two shots too.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Accent was scoreless second inning. His first strikeout tonight, his
first strike in on this building in another uniform, no
more time.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, so you know it's a it's a doubly tough night.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
First struck out of met one more time.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
After that, the Mets lost a game one more time.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
No, that's it, man, I don't have to say.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
He owned yours.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Here, here's the thing, though, Is it really that difficult
at this point? I mean, come on, man, I throw
seventy I could have run out there in probably five inning.
I give you a quality start. Six innings and three
runs are less. I could give you that against the
Mets right now.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Told you three months ago, Smith, what happened to King Tong?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
You're gonna like when Monny Byrd said I bring him
before you in chains.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
He's he's no longer the big heavyweight.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Did you just say Tong Toong sahor you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Be yes, I did.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You're gonna be a prophet, man, He might as well
be hitting clean up.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It doesn't. It wouldn't do any worse unt he did tonight.
That's for sure a profit.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yes man, I'll tell you exit out bout of Fresca,
Exit Swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
We'll have more baseball coming up again.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I'm sure, well, I'm sure the play of the night
will be something from the Mets end the Aaron Judge
four hundred and seventy five foot home run, which is
absolutely insane.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
We will have that. But coming up next we.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
We got it.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
We got through a lot of fun stories that are
swirling in the sporting universe. And though the Mets leave
you grossly disappointed on a daily basis, as much as
you can say, hey, I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I expect and I understand it.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
No, no, no, no, no, you're you're in hell in that,
and then you get to watch Syracuse. I mean they're
up to sixty six points and the two great man warning.

Man, it's awesome, Man, it's awesome. It's awesome.
Speaker 5 (19:30):

Tyraq dot com is the way tire buying should be.
Now there's mad, right, and they're how mad with the
Mets and all of this. There's mad, and then there's
(20:04):
the mad that Dion Sanders is right now, okay, because
watching this game that Colorado has, they fell behind early
and they just it's it's not getting better for them.
Tonight against Houston, it was fourteen nothing early and here
we are early in the fourth quarter. Colorado's come back
a little bit, but Houston with a twenty six to
(20:25):
fourteen lead right now. Every time they showed Dion on
the sideline standing there with his arms folded, right, you
know what I think of I think if you know,
when you're a kid and like maybe you're at a party,
you go somewhere, or you're you know, you're out and
your parents are coming to pick you up, your parents
coming to get you from school, whatever it is, and
(20:45):
you're walking towards them and you see them from far
away and they're just standing there with their arms folded,
and you know they're pissed at me for something.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Oh yeah, and you.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Just know it's a closer you get. I don't know
what it is, but this is this is bad. Like
that's how I That's what I would feel like if
I was on the field looking at Dan tonight, just
standing there, arms folded, staring daggers at the field like
I'm gonna walk off the field and just gonna scro
Coach is gonna scream at me because we're gonna be
one and two and we're gonna lose to Houston.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
He's on the plus side.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Yeah, I on the plus side, stops averaging ten yards
of uh completion. Unfortunately he's got only got twelve of those.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah yeah, not many, not many. Clearly, TJ. Stop might
be a little rusty after not playing so much.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
TJ.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Well, maybe look, he will have a pinch hitter coming
in to play for him later on tonight.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
But Dion got a bit chesty about it. Is like,
look at my guy, next guy up right. He did
the little Shadoor tribute, you know, the the other day
when he had basically the watch celebration. Uh, you're not
able to run the ball. It's kind of like we're
watching with the Packers and Commanders yesterday, going all right,
you gotta get some semblance of a run game. Simme
at price has fifty one yards. He had a thirty
(22:00):
eight yard sprint, right, his other four carries not so much.
That's next leading rushers stop running for his life. So,
I mean it's it's a tough, tough sled. I mean,
you lost two huge figures and huge participants to things.
Travis Hunter obviously changed the game and made everybody else
(22:21):
just that much better, and Shaudure excelled in what you
had put together. Yeah, it's it's growing pains on a
whole other level, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
And the thing is right, and this is Dion And look,
I'm not in the locker room every day obviously, but
when you're two games into your season and you've already
played and given chances to three different guys to start.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
At quarterback, like what are you doing? Really? Like like
like what do you? What are you doing? Right?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Caden Salter was the number one sought after guy in
the transfer portal, and he played well all spring summer.
He won the job. Okay, he has a bit of
a rough first game. The final is terrible, right, and
that's on him and Deon Saner, but Dean doesn't take
any responsibility for it. And then the last game, everybody
gets two series? What what do you mean? Everybody gets
to what the hell are you doing? Everybody gets two series.
(23:11):
Everybody got two series and Stop played the best, so
he played most of that game. They kept going through
their quarterbacks and now Ryan stob starts tonight. So in
three games you have had three quarterbacks, not because of injury,
but just because of ineffectiveness, playing all kinds of heavy minutes, like.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
How are you gonna win?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
How are you gonna build any sort of of winning
culture when it's like, hey, I'm playing three quarterbacks now
tons of the time through the first three games and
it's not because of injury.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Like what do you really doing? Are you giving Caden
Salter a chance?
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I mean, look again, I'm not in the locker room,
but I know, hey, you take three weeks and you
play three quarterbacks. I give three quarterbacks a chance to start?
What the hell you been doing in the spring of
the summer then, like, like, what the hell's been going on?
If you're like okay, after this, I'm changing stuff, I'm impatient.
I'm doing like this start now, this right here, This
crazy crap is on Dion for just too much saying okay,
(24:06):
now look at me, like like there's a lot of
coaches that have to look at me, and Dion's always
been a look at me guy, But this is this
is a little bit too much because clearly he doesn't
have the horses that he had the last couple of years,
and and and clearly you know, two years ago should
have been better. Last year was much better. But it's
but like, okay, you're building something, man, And you gotta
understand you can't just I know, you showed up in
(24:27):
in FCS and you won right away, and you got that.
You jumped to Colorado and you have big players there,
and you had a Heisman Trophy winner and the number
three overall picking the draft. I get, But okay, this
is a little bit more of a let's dig in
and start over. And already you're just changing quarterbacks and
pulling them. And I'm going, there's a reason why nobody
does that, because it doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
And teams got to.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Know who are we following, what kind of what kind
of uh what kind of offense are we running here?
How I got to get used to this guy throwing
the football and this guy throwing the football and the
offensive line how do I block for this guy?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
How do I block here? And and I'm.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Sitting here going, Dion's just I don't know if it's
impatience or if it's he's just embarrassed, but you gotta
give give it some time to bake. Man, Like this
whole crazy offensive crap this is all on Dion. Man,
I'm not I can't blame the quarterbacks for this. No,
the difficulty of it is, and we gave him all
credit in the world. I mean, you can go back
and find the audio in our in our history, on
(25:19):
the podcast wherever you get your audio, Like when he
came back in the post Shadeur and Hunter world because
a lot of speculation because of his health and just
all right, he'd done his job right. Shiloh and Shador
were gone. Travis Hunter was his guy, moved to the
next level that he was gonna step away. So it's like, okay, cool,
I can't wait to see what the vision is going forward.
(25:41):
The problem is there's no vision right now, no vision
ceiling straight from Sinners, no vision cause you're just throwing
grabbing straws at the quarterback position, trying to establish the
next phase and your countenance on the sideline, as you
put it, like I always knew we were in trouble.
If my dad wasn't talking right, if he wasn't singing
(26:03):
along to whatever song was on the record player or
just playing some grab ass talking about whatever sports were in.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Season, we knew we were screwed. Like he's quiet tonight,
what'd we do? What'd you do? I don't know, And
you'd start going through your day, going all right, did
we take out the trash? See old callback to Jason
Smith and his grandpa.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
But all those things like what did what did we miss?
What did mom rat us out on?
Speaker 5 (26:30):
So that that's kind of what the countenance you've got
going on there, that he feels betrayed or let down
because he gave this guy a shot. I mean, I
get it right, you believed in him, but he was
third string in theory for a reason. And now here
you are struggling against Houston, Houston looking to go three
and oh.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
I mean, I mean, I don't know how you do this.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I don't know how you're You're so impatient that you
just say, hey, guess what I'm gonna go through three quarter?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
What are you doing? Man?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
You can't you can't do this, Like what how do
you think this is gonna How would you feel if
if you were in the NFL and you showed up
and Jerry Glanville said, okay, well, Jeff George is gonna start.
But then if I don't like it, then Bobby A.
Bear is gonna come in and you know what the
next game, Jeff George is gonna get two series. Bobby
A Bear is gonna get two series and then Steve
Bartkowski is gonna get two series, Like I mean, I'm
going back in with the Falcons quarterbacks, Like how are
(27:18):
you gonna build anything with that?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Like what?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
How do how do you think that this is that
this is gonna this is good? Ask yourself? Is this
good for the company? Like, I don't know where in
what world you realize, Oh yeah, this is what it is.
It's it's gonna be fine. Like this disappointing start to
the season is one.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Now we'll have more on this game coming up again.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Twenty six fourteen, About thirteen minutes to go in the
fourth quarter, Houston has the football back Ryan Stobs still
in there for Colorado.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
But big football preview this weekend.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
No game bigger in the NFL than the Super Bowl
rematch between the Eagles and the Chiefs. Big news today
Dallas Goddard is out, which means, boy, those third downs
might get a little bit tougher for the Philadelphia aj
Brown's gonna have to read a lot on the sideline
if he's gonna really get into this one. But I'm
gonna zig where you think I'm gonna zag. Kansas City
(28:09):
is desperate and just because they're the Chiefs. Ninety percent
of people think there's no way they start owing too.
There's no way they start oh and too, they're at home.
They lost last week to the Chargers. There's no way
they start on owing to guess what Chiefs are starting out?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Oh and two?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
All right, there's not enough playmakers to keep up with
Philadelphia even without Dallas.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Got it right.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
The Dallas offense is pretty good, all right. No, whatever
you think about the team, the offense is pretty good.
You've got lots of playmakers there, and Philadelphia defense was
fantastic without Jalen Carter, who again ejected for spitting before
the first play of the game. Think about that. The
Eagles are still the Eagles. Now you're facing a Chiefs
team that is limited completely at receiver. Right, No Rashie
(28:53):
Rice for another few weeks, No Xavier Worthy. Travis Kelcey
last week didn't look like Travis Kelcey. He had one
big play because of a busted coverage to turn into
a touchdown. They don't have anybody to really run the football.
It's gonna be Mahomes, and Mahomes is gonna look he's
gonna be the guy keeping the Chiefs in every game.
And like I've said from the beginning, I'm stock up
(29:14):
on Mahomes this year, and I'm stocked down on the Chiefs.
This is the same Eagles from the super Bowl. This
is not even the same Chiefs team from the Super
Bowl that they wound up beating so bad. Mahomes is
not gonna be enough. And I'll even give you this
bold prediction. Jalen Hurts goes for three hundred yards. They're
gonna sell out to stop Saquon Barkley because you know
(29:35):
they're gonna feel, Okay, we're gonna make Jalen Hurts beat us.
And guess what, Jalen Hurts is gonna beat him. It's
gonna be a Jalen Hurts game. He goes for three
hundred and the Chiefs start zero and two. Wow, you're just.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Full of full of I mean, are you just trying
to get on Frostburg's good side so he doesn't play anymore?
De gram Highlights's gonna.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Stop that, Mike.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Look, I picked against love me.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
That's force Oh and two.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Is what about thirteen percent chance of making the playoffs
since nineteen ninety It.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Would literally take the National Guard to come in here.
And stop this the Grand Party.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Well, I mean, look, eventually that club is going to
be overrun and the fire Department's gonna have to shut
you down.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yet and that's what the Grand party. Because of the
Grand Party. Don't stop.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
But I mean, how many people can you fit in
that studio? What's the what? What's the max? There's got
to be a sign up in there? What is an eight?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I'm just picturing Frozburg dressed like Steve Carell in an
episode of the Office. Ain't no party like a Scranton party,
because a Scranton party, don't stop. He's wearing the backwards beret. Yeah, yeah,
he's got the you know in fun jeans. He's wearing
the fung jeans and white jeans and he's and everybody
walks by, going is this where the party is? Yep,
And it's only him and Dwight. Everybody just keeps walking by.
Oh okay, not going here, not going here, not going That.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Was very good, uh, you know, filibustering to that, curious
to see. I mean, Xavier Worthy was back at practice,
but I mean, I don't think he's gonna play right.
It's Hollywood Brown, it's Jujus Smith. Schuster, It's Travis Kelcey,
and it's wishing, wanting, hoping that you can get the
run games started. For Philadelphia. You do get carter backs,
so any run game you thought you had goes out
(31:10):
the window for KC. But this is one at home,
the narrow one point dog forty seven being the total.
I'm gonna take the over and that the Chiefs somehow
win a shootout.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
But I'm not terribly confident.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
If I was doing confidence pools for this week, you know,
one through sixteen, I think I'd give this a one
and a half.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I mean, look, it's gonna be a fun game. It's
gonna be a fun game.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
There's gonna be a little bit more offense than you think,
especially from the Eagles. Will be a little bit more offense,
not quite to the where we got so surprised last
week with the Jets and the Steelers. Look at all
these points, Oh my god, what is happening here? And
no one's throwing the football? How are they getting all
these plays? But it is gonna be a little bit
more offensively. But the Eagles will get out to a lead.
The Chiefs will put up some numbers, but the defense
is gonna be able to shot again. Everything is the same, right,
(31:57):
everything is the same, and it's it's still a really,
really good Eagles team. And again the Chiefs aren't even
as good as they were in the Super Bowl when
clearly they were no match for Philadelphia.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Yeah, I think the big question is how good does
that defensive line come back with Jalen Carr, Because we
watched Dak Prescott have his way if guys actually caught
the ball last week, right, including a couple of penalties. Unfortunately,
you don't get fantasy credit for those, for George Pickens
and otherwise. But I mean we watched their secondary struggle.
There's certainly something to be seen there. But can they
(32:29):
buy mahomes enough time to make them pay? That is
your ultimate question?

Speaker 3 (34:38):
That must have been some kind of defensive effort.
Speaker 9 (34:41):

first downs in four quarters. I don't think anything could
have been worse. And then there were Syracuse beating up
winless Colgates. That's a school not the Toothpaste sixty six

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Let me start right there. The Mets suck. Get them
all in, get them all in, and get them all in.
That the Mets suck.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
I'm Michael, Michael. I'm not going to tell him that, Michael.
I'm not going to uh again, Ty Shirt. Can't just
get the clip off YouTube? Probably get the one that
leads into a Seinfeld clip, which is why this sign.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
How do you not know I put the Seinfeld clip
on there?
Speaker 3 (39:09):
How do you not know? He is a wizard. This
is one of those nights. So it is high noon,
on set. It look part of Football Friday.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
We take a look at all the big games in
the NFL college football throughout the night tonight. No, boy,
do we have a college football game to tell you
about coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
But uh, it is high.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Noon on Sunday for Russell Wilson. Bad game and he's out.
He is out, as in, he is no longer the
starting quarterback of the Giants, and we usher in the
Jackson Dart era. I get that you want to hold
him back. I get that there's the thought of is
he ready. The guy showed he was ready during the summer.
He's a first round draft pick. He's had a couple
(39:47):
of games. Everybody wants to keep their jobs. Russell Wilson
was no good Week one. It took a whole day
for Brian Dable to say, yes, Russ is our starter.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Bad game against.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
The Cowboys and he is out, And it's the Jackson
Dark Era. And I've told you that, Hey, it's happening
by October first. But I'm gonna tell you this, it's
gonna be a stay for Wilson. He will bounce back
because Dallas defense is hurt and not great. He will
play well enough. Right, He's not gonna play great, Oh
my goodness, here's what us will. But he will play
(40:17):
well enough to say, all right, we can give him
one more week, right, we give one more week. He's
I'm sure he's gonna throw the football a ton of
elak Neighbors, and I'll give you this Bowl prediction. Neighbors
catches at least ten passes in what's gonna end up
being a loss. Dallas will escape with the win and
they'll they'll get a w that they absolutely need, and
Russell Wilson will play well enough to keep his job.
(40:38):
But it's gonna be in l And we are now
just counting the days until Jackson Dart, which is probably
gonna be sometime in the next three weeks. But I'll
give Russell Wilson this week because I'll be really surprised
if he doesn't have a good enough game to keep
his job, which is not like three hundred yards and
three touchdowns. It's like two hundred yards in a touchdown,
like maybe is what he needs to keep his job,
and that's probably what he'll wind up doing.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
Yeah, I give the shameless I watch a flex plug
because I did a bunch on Neighbors this week. Find
that wherever you get your audio. But when we look
at what the Dallas defense is, you mentioned the injuries, right,
You've got Digs still coming back. He was on a
pitch count last week. Now Bland's out for several weeks,
so you're gonna take your shots downfield. Those moon balls
will be in play. We'll see if they have a
(41:21):
better connection rate than the five of twelve that they
had last week. But you know, hear a lot of
the psychology talk when it comes to Jackson Dart all right,
there's two schools of thought to it, and the third
one I categorically reject. It's like he's either not ready
and you're playing the waiting game. You want him to
(41:42):
just get another month. And then there's the people that
want to go, well, you know what, you don't want
to ruin him psychologically.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
If he comes in and he's bad.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
It's like if he's that guy that he sucked and
he should have never been drafted.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
So again, another week, we're right on. Right around the
end of September, that's when it's dark time. Congratulations Russ,
you get another day more big preview weekend action coming
up next Fox,
