Speaker 3 (00:54):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
We'll have more on Shoaio Tani and his absolutely historical
night coming up in a bit. But it is a
big football Friday, Dodgers headed to the World Series and
now all of a sudden college football tonight. Oh by
the way, both top twenty five teams in action have
already been upset. Matt Rule has been knocked out of
the running to coach Penn State. As Nebraska gets beaten
(01:17):
by Minnesota, they row the boat to a twenty four
to six win and Louisville beats Miami twenty four to
twenty one. Carl speaking of getting knocked off the list,
Carson Beck gets knocked off of the high of trap.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
He was three to one, he was the favorite.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, now now he's zero to four because he had
zero touchdowns and four interceptions tonight for Miami, including the
final pick. Great athletic play on a final drive where
Miami was gonna go in for at least the game
tying field goal to send it to overtime. Instead, Louisville
comes away with the win. Number two. Miami loses, they
will drop Nebraska will fall out of the top twenty five.
(01:56):
And now it's Bill belichicken North Carolina. After all the
drama to day with Pablo Tory and new video and audio,
cal leads North Carolina right now fourteen ten, three and
a half to go before halftime. Can I raise my
hand on all the reporting and obsession and good on Pablotory.
It's it's clearly working out for him.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I don't care, No but.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Here's the thing. This is, this is this is part
of it, like all the other stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
But you don't want we want to talk about the
Lombardi stuff and the trips and the money and whatever
else that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's no, but it's it's it's it's not even that
I don't care, because I think if people didn't care,
it wouldn't get the attention.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
No, no, I was saying for me, this is a little
mikeykey harm.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I think there's a weirder different question to ask. And today,
obviously Pablo Tory UH went on a podcast and talked
about new audio that he unearthed that shows Jordan Hudson's
involvement in Bill Belichick's career. Uh some audio and video
when they taped their coat show from a year ago
that Belichick and Matt Patricia taped where Jordan Hudson was
(03:01):
asking questions about what they were talking about, asking about
the Cowboys, Uh, is it is it kind of easy
to say to stop the Cowboys from scoring touchdowns? And
Belichick's got to explain to her, well, they have the
best offense and you want to make him kick a
field goal? And she says, well, is that kind of
a red zone thing, and you just see overall, her
involvement with a football show is kind of weird. They
(03:21):
argued about graphics as well. It was really strange, this
whole thing. And look, the audio has been out there
all you know, all day, and you see it and
and it's you know, you can see it if you
want to. But there's a there's a there's a bigger
question here that I really want asked. And and I
think that and and and the question is this, So
Pablo Tory's been the guy and he's become he's reinvented
(03:42):
himself as an investigative reporter. Right, Pablo Tory finds out right, uh,
you know, investing the events aid the Kawhi Leonard situation,
and I get the Kawhi Leonard thing with you know, hey,
did he get money to do a sham job?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So they could skirt the salary cap because that's about
rule breaking in the NBA. It is something that other
teams do. Right, I'm nervous, what are they gonna find
out about you? And he took away less money?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Man?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But that's it, right, how many teams are going? Please
don't investigate this any further. We don't need you knocking
out our door.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So I get that part of it, right, get that.
I get that part. Hey, that's a pretty good investigative
report because this you're talking about rule breaking in the NBA,
what they're doing. I don't understand why he's investigating the
relationship of Belichick and Jordan Hudson, Right, I don't understand.
I don't understand what the endgame is what. He's not
(04:34):
investigating something that's illegal, he's not investigating something that is
controversial Jordan Hudson. I mean, you know, she's way younger
than him, and everybody's got their thoughts Belichick in the seventies.
She's twenty three, but when they were dating, she was
over eighteen in her early twenties. Yes, it's weird. We've
given our opinions on that. But I don't know what
(04:55):
the endgame is other than hey, here's some here's some
some some a quick click journalism line from you. We're here,
here's some stuff because you're interested in the Belichick Jordan
Hudson dynamic. Here's some details about their relationship. And I
would get it if it was a tabloid show, if
it was if it was TMZ, if It was one
(05:15):
of those kind of shows showing, hey, here's the ins
and outs of a Hollywood relationship, right, like all the
attention we're getting right now with Kevin Federline's book about
Britney Spears and all these different things, right, Okay, these
are Hollywood relationships and people care about that, right Like
who is who's dating who? In all these reasons? People
care why Laurie Laughlin is is not married, whatever it
(05:36):
has been going on in the pain about her the
last few days, and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban and
they're divorced all the like. I get that. I get
that there's interest in that. I don't understand what the
endgame is with this investigation into this story. What are
you trying to prove? No, there's no illegalities going on.
I mean, hey, I think everybody's got their opinion of Belichick.
(05:58):
Come on, man, you're in your seventies. What are you
doing in a twenty year old? Like, what are you doing? Right?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
What what is happening here? I get it, but I
don't I don't know what, Like, what is what? What's
going to be the whole purpose to this? The whole
purpose is what? Yeah, to get clicks, all right, But boy,
he really seems to be going out of his way.
I got this audio of what of them arguing about
what they should be saying on the Coaches Show and
the graphics of the show, Like, okay, is I'm sorry eight?
Speaker 6 (06:30):
I mean, I'm trying to tell him the strategy for football.
This is ant I know, I know well what I'm
trying to do. I actually do have a take on
that in a second, but I just don't know what, Like,
what's the purpose of this? Like usually investigative reporting ends
with something, Hey, somebody gets out and is doing something wrong,
or there's illegalities, or there's this, or there's but but
(06:53):
this just seems to hey, I'm going to sensationalize their relationship, and.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
That's that's not really a sports man. He's did doing
this in the sports realm. It's just a really weird
and odd obsession that he seems to have with this
storyline that I would ask and go, so, just why
are you doing all this? Man? I mean doing this
for the attention, for the clicks, for what where? Because
I really I don't see where the event. You're a journalist, right,
(07:18):
and where the journalistic part of this equation.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Is, well, we've long talked about what journalism is in
the sports world and certainly in the larger scope, and
when you're talking about sports, television, sports radio, capital J,
lowercase JA, the jay's been erased. You can decide where
you're at in that continuum, regardless of what someone's CV
may say. They once did with Pablotora, I mean, go
(07:44):
back to when he went to the house where Belichick
was shirtless, Like, what the hell's that got to? I mean, again,
we just commemorated the eighteenth anniversary of the Kardashians. This
just is an extension of that. So you can do
two things. You can go do the serious bigger jay,
mid size jay journalism thing in the sham jobs and
(08:04):
circumventing the cap or whatever else, which most owners in
the NBA, again they don't seem to care. The NBA
for the most part, is doing the I'm covering my
ears and I'm putting blinders on.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I don't want to know about it. They have to
eventually do probably a sham investigation about it. But when
it's all said and done, I think that that has
some merit. This you're making money off clicks and you're
trying to embarrass Belichick for whatever whatever purposes.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Because it's taking strategy of football and he's the greatest
coach ever from a twenty foree year roll.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
That's exactly why this is incredible. Well, you know what,
here's the thing, I got news for you.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
You probably clicked at least ten thousand times today, Jason,
at least.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Least no I got news click click click. So the
the audio that we're talking you is is Jordan Hudson says,
you know, they're talking about the Cowboys offense and he
and Matt Patricia say in this specific game for last
year that hey, you know, you got you got to
keep the Cowboys out of the end zone, right, you
got to keep them out of the end zone. And
she comes up after they finished tape in the segment
and said, yeah, you know, is that is that something
(09:10):
that you know? Do you want to say something better
than that? Do you want to say, you know, keeping
the Cowboys out of the end zone? And Belichick explains, hey, well,
you know we talked about how they have the best
offense in the NFL. You want to force them to
kick field goals, you know, you want to keep them
out of the end zone, and she asked, well, well,
is that a red zone thing? Is that something you
want to get a little more in detail on and
Belichick and Matt Patricia kind of like, yeah, that's kind
of what we're talking about. But you know what, but
(09:32):
I got news for you. I agree with her. I
agree with her on this because any of us can say, hey, something,
Cowboys have the great offense. You want to keep them
out of the end zone. You want to force them
to kick field goals. I mean, I don't need to
be Bill Belichick to be able to tell you that, right, Like,
if you're paying Belichick, you're doing a coach a show.
I want something more than that, man, I want something
(09:53):
more than you showing up and mailing in by saying, yeah,
they have a great offense, it's got to keep them
out of the end zone. Oh really, thanks Bill. I
thought making make sure they scored quick so I get
the ball back was the way to do it. Like, honestly,
I see her point because it's like so many analysts,
so many people that I've seen over the course of
my life that are former players that have done either
(10:14):
auditions or are you know, want to get gigs. They
come out with guns blazing, right, and they'll say whatever
they want, and they're saying incredibly interesting stuff and then
the light goes on or they got to talk for real,
and they just mail it in with empty, vacuous statements
about hey, well you know you got to be able
to play better than that, you can't throw that many
interceptions in a game, all things that you and I
(10:35):
know that every fan knows. So yeah, I expect a
little bit more from Bill Belichick and breaking stuff down
than just hey, yeah, you got to keep the Cowboys
out of the end zone. Oh gee, thanks Bill. That
that's real Algonquin roundtable stuff that I'm getting from you.
So that and I've never defended Jordan Hudson for a
second or anything, but I think she's all of us
by saying, real, that's what you want to say, keep
the Cowboys out of the end zone? Like like, I mean,
(10:56):
come on, man, you watch people who play football for
a living and do this, and this is what you get.
I mean, honest, this is stuff that anybody that's watched
a football game for more than than a half can say, well,
you got to keep them out of the end zone, right,
And I get his point of Hey, you got to
keep them to field goals, right, and but here's how
you do it. Here's you to X, Y and Z
to just say, yeah, you got to keep them out
(11:18):
of the end zone. Oh okay, great like that. That's
why I'm watching this, so all this cutting edge entertainment
and insight. Like so many shows, the analysts just don't
say anything. I get that part of it. I mean, now,
Jordan Hudson, is she the right vehicle to be saying this?
Is she? Is this gonna come? Are people going to
agree with that? Probably not, because it's her and everybody's
informed their opinion about her. But look, I'll be honest
(11:40):
with you. When she said that, I was like, yeah,
I kind of would want more from Bellowchicken, Matt Patricia myself.
I don't know I'd find a better way to say that.
But if I'm a producer, if i'm if I'm you know,
putting this show on the air, I would say, hey, man,
give me something better than that. Man, you can't just
sit here and say, yeah, keep the cowboys out of
the ear. I would.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I would show them a clip of the show. I'm
referenced for years.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I love the.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Film study show that he would do when he was
a coach and the Patriots, he stood at a lecture
and they had a video board and he would draw
and map out a play and show you how it
came to play. You know, give you whatever the call was,
but all of that, you know, responsibilities and telling you
what all right, here's what the cornerback's supposed to do.
Here you could see he has a false step here
(12:24):
and and he broke it down. But he also gave
you the larger picture of what they were calling and
what the intent was, either offensively or defensively. That's what
I would have shown if I was the producer. I'm like,
we need more of that.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah, I really I not to say specifically, because look,
I don't know exactly what they were talking, you know,
getting it, but to hear she says, hey, you want
to say more than just that? Yeah, I kind of
do want more than that. And then I don't know
if it was something I want something more specific on
Dak Prescott, like here's how you stop Dak Prescott, Here's
how you stop the Cowboys offense. Here's what I would
(13:00):
do defensively. Whatever it is, I mean, there's got to
be something else better that uniquely you can bring to
the show. That is why people, you know, listen to you.
I mean, you're you're Bill bleeping Belichick. Man, is the
first time people have seen you in the media. You
went from Hey, I don't like anybody. I'm not saying anything,
and then you're hanging out with Pat McAfee two days
a week and laughing and telling stories and going on
(13:22):
the Tom Brady roads and all of a sudden, oh,
look at his Bellichick. Now he loves everybody. Like Okay,
I you know, people really want to see more out
of you as far as that goes. And and I
understand that. Now the graphics part of it, whatever, I mean,
that's you know, whatever is what it was. But I
get that part of it. Man, it's you got to
be conscious that you're always giving people something that they
(13:42):
can take away from listening and watching you. Whether it's hey,
what this guy said was really funny. What this guy
said was a great opinion. It made me think it
was it was great analysis for something. You got to
give people something because there's so many places you can
go people can go to to get in for It's like, Okay,
what did I watch the Belichick. While I wasn't entertained,
(14:03):
I didn't really learn anything, and uh, there's nothing I
could take away from that. So I'm gonna go watch
somebody else.
Speaker 2 (14:08):

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon Hobo. It's really show. Hey o Tani, night
boy boy. We'll get back to that coming up in
a few minutes. A night that you've never seen before
in the history of Major League Baseball. It was that good.
(16:43):
But you know what else has been good tonight too?
The upsets in college football. You have a big slate
of games tomorrow. Number two, Miami goes down, Carson Beck
no touchdowns, four picks, Nebraska loses, Matt Rule, will fall
out of the top twenty five and maybe out of
getting the job with Penn State.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I thought you were gonna stay out of the top
twenty five, and the chase to be the next Penn
State coach.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Joining us now in the hot line to break it
all down. Nobody better. Our most trusted college football inside
or the website is college Footballnews dot com. You're one
stop shopping for everything college football all the picks, all
the prognostications, all the analysis you want, all done by
Pete Futech. He is on Twitter at Pete Futech. Pete
(17:30):
who had the worst night tonight? Carson Beck's Heisman chances
or Matt Rules chances to be the head coach of
Penn State?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Well, I don't. It's so weird because yeah, the hes
chase is still awful that maybe Beck can get back
in it, but he's not really gonna have any big
chances to go, so I don't. I liked him in
the Heisman race, but his coaching staff didn't do him
any favorites tonight either. They didn't run the ball, didn't
help money, and he's still they still almost pulled that
thing out. As bad as he played Tim, He's gonna
(18:00):
be fine. It's Friday night weirdness. They're gonna still probably
go eleven and one and go to the easy Gipps,
although now it's a jumble now they need help to
get to the EECY Championship, but eleven and one gets
him an that large bid. They have the noise and
so the Miami's gonna be fine. In all this, I
don't get Matt ruhle I, I never have. I think
it's he had a couple had one great year with
(18:22):
Baylor where they you know, didn't win stuff, but they
came close. Uh, he'd played. He was good at Temple
for a little while. But I never got him why
he was such the hot you know, coach for the
Panthers in the NFL circuit or this big deal at Nebraska.
I mean, he's he hasn't exactly set the world on
fire there and I and I don't get at all
(18:44):
why he is in the Penn State next other than
that his Temple team beat Penn State a million years
ago and Penn State fans kind of remember that. So
it's kind of the thing where and I think we've
talked about this, you know, he's done there so long,
and he did this tough maybe the Texas John opening
and Florida job opening. Every big fan base just assumes, well,
(19:04):
who wouldn't want this job, you know, who wouldn't want
to be a part of all this way. They all
think they can get a Harbaugh, you know, either one.
They all think they can get anybody they want, and
it's just not that simple.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Pete.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
As we look at the slate going forward, as we
watch Bill Belichick and Cal get after it. Now we
look at this slate going forward. Obviously a lot of
interest here locally with the USC and not your name,
big point spread and looks like a mismatch on paper.
Can Lincoln Riley go pull some magic off?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Problem is that Notre Dame is looking great against kind
of a teams. I mean, Boise States not very good.
Empty State's not very good, Purdue's not very good. You know,
Arkansas is not very good. So okay, yeah, you know
Notre Dame looks fantastic against those four, but they didn't
get the job done against Texas A and m or Miami.
I think Nor Dame wins. You're right, this is too
(19:59):
big a point spread. I like the over I like
the idea that the USC's offense is going to get rolling.
A t K Car is going to be under pressure
more than he probably has all year long. Because this
USC defense can he said, get after they They've got
a pass rush there. I would put it past USC
being able to win this. I this offense is clicking,
(20:20):
everything's starting to work. It's gonna be a fascinating, intriguing
game because there's no margin for error. For Nowayman obviously
needs this game more because it loses once more and
there's no conference title to play for.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
They're, you know, just looking for a.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Nice bull bit.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
At that point. USC can still stay alive with a
last year. They got some nasty games coming up. But
if USC wins, that kind of takes the whole Lincoln
Riley think, a whole other level. But it's very I
think it's gonna be a fun shootout because the last
few of them between these two have been up and
down firefights. I think that this will be sort of
the same peat.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
The other game four thirty on ABC Tennessee and Alabama
a month ago, so it was how much is the
buyout for Kaalin Debori can't beat good teams here? We
are a month later and suddenly maybe ty Simpson's gonna
be the Heisman favorite. Maybe we're going to roll to
the SEC title. All of a sudden, everybody loves Alabama again.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
Yeah, I'm kind of starting to it's kind of a PROBEMCT.
I'm running out of teams here, but I'm kind of
under the belief that all the SEC teams are just
kind of ah and we were now in that silly
season where SEC teams play other SEC teams, so we think,
oh wow, look at that they beat you know, Tennessee,
or they beat Alabama, and then you kind of remember,
oh yeah, Alabama lost the mess Florida State team and
(21:37):
you know, okay, Tennessee's big win with Syracuse no offense,
that was they were good then under Steve at Jelly.
But it's I mean, I think these teams are fine.
You know, they're flawed, but they're fine. They're gonna have
a fun game. The Alabama defense isn't quite the defense
of you know, the Nick saban Era by any stretch.
They don't really have a running game, but they can
(21:58):
throw it. That's the teams and more offensive. Tennessee's defense
has not then good enough. I think they're going to
get ripped apart another high scoring game. I think these
two are going to go up and down the field
and make it make for a fun game at Alabama
pulls it out. Like you said, you know, it's it's
just how crazy this stuff works, because you know, you know,
we're looking at a buyout for Kalin the boor look
(22:19):
at a guy like Franklin, you know what eighteen days ago.
If he gets one defensive stop late in the fourth
quarter in any of the three games, he's still the
Penn State head coach. And you know, yeah you don't.
You can't move to U Eucla or Northwestern. But still
he gets he pulls one of those three out, he's
stole on today.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
How much of that is dictated by the change in
apparel companies and such? Behind the scenes business wise.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
I've asked, you know, it's the whole Adida thing saying,
you know, we want something different, something you know, I
sort of get it in terms of what they want
to represent, how much money they're bringing in, But I
keep having to go back to to be careful what
you wish for a thing. And you can't ever lose
in college football. You are one and it doesn't matter
who you are. You are. You know, look at you know,
(23:05):
all the comments on dabbo before where you know you're
gonna have dabbos we need to kick around anymore in
the press conferences, And you know it's you. You've got
all these coaches. You are always one two game losing
streak away from being on a hot seat, no matter
who you are. As a college football head coach, uh.
And the crazy part about this is going forward. You
know again the whole idea, oh well Penn State is
(23:27):
just going to go get Signetti, Well that's not happening.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Now.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
I still say they should break the bank for Lane
Kiss and but I highly doubt that's going to happen. So,
you know what name out there is going to be
like wow for Penn State fans because again they think
that they can get anybody they want. And the bizarre
reality is the best guy out there for the job
Penn State head coaching job is James Franklin. Like so
it's I don't know what you can do with I
(23:52):
mean when Wisconsin, you know, finally ends this with Sickle.
If I'm Chris mcantized their ad, I'm on the phone.
I think Franklin would be amazing there. So he's done
a great job overall, but sometimes these things just kind
of last a little too long. You to see a
change of scenery.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
College Footballnews dot Com Spete fu Tech our guest Jason
Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
Are you mentioned Kurt Signetty Pete and when this came out?
When this came out, his extension with Indiana eight years
ninety three million. I thought, you know what, this is
a great story for every college football fan because now
even if you have a mid tier power program like
(24:32):
Indiana or or lower tier and now here, they are
like if you have alumni, if you have big alumni
that make money, you figure and they like your head coach,
you can figure out the NIL era. You can get
good players to come, you can get great coaches to stay.
And like a story like this, I feel like just
reaffirms that, hey, some schools are leveling the playing field
(24:53):
with some of these other big schools while all the
big schools don't like NIL at all. Oh wait a minute, yeah,
cause you you get some famous people that can and
people that like the new head coach. So they're giving
money to Fran Brown at Syracuse and Manny d as
a duke and all these schools are playing really well.
I think this is a great day for everybody in
college football.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
I mean, it's a Texas Tech, you know, Oregon thing
where you guys, if you have money, you can do it.
Like I'm still waiting to see at some point, Mark
Cuban can you know for anything he wants As an
Indiana grad and it's it's it's not just this. They
never listen to the major colleges when they cry poor
when it comes to buyouts. I mean the forty nine
million dollars while for that's that's couch cushion money for
(25:31):
Pen the use Penn State University and the money that
place rolls in. Remember if you're a big giant school
like the University of Indiana, all the you know, that
whole Signetti contract, all this guaranteed money. Oh my gosh,
A that's literally only like four hundred out of state students.
You know it could been so they while you're talking
about it is you're getting a better class of student
(25:51):
grad students who might you know, add more to the
you know mix here. You're going to make that up
pretty easily and just straight tuition money. Look at your
Syracuse that's ninety a year kid that you know. Yeah,
an extension from fran Bruh had nothing compared to the
money as rolling in that play.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
When I graduated, it was it went from eleven grand
a year to seventeen grand a year, and there were
protests that it was too much money. There were protests
on campus.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I was too they had to pay mellow.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I went.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
I went to Wisconsin where there was literally a student
protest against the ten dollars fee added on to your
tuition to help the athletic department. Like it's so sweet,
it's so like that.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Yeah, my kid who wanted to go to college, she's like, oh,
what about Syracuse? This as the school I'm looking for. Nope, no, no, no,
no no, We're gonna try someplace els here. But yeah,
I mean so all these places. Yeah, if you're Kent
State or your Louisiana Monroe, yeah you can't afford that
kind of stuff. But the other thing to remember too,
when it comes to all this money we're talking about.
(26:55):
At some point, I actually think Signetti got was cheap.
I think that's a quaint little contract.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Because if this kicks in.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
I'm gonna talk like they know what a hedge fund
actually is. But this hedge fund thingy that other you know,
the kids are all into in the Big ten and
that they might have with the billions of dollars coming in,
they're just gonna be they have more money. They're going
to know what to do with. And remember the average
starting quarterback, Like right now, you've got Cincinnati Bengals are
(27:26):
paying Joe Burrow fifty million this year to not play
because he's injured. You know, there's money out there in
sports all over the place. There was a game on
a few months back because on the SEC networking old
Missouri game from like nineteen ninety eight, and they're saying,
oh my gosh, head coach Larry Smith, fresh off is
fat new contract two hundred thousand dollars a year, And
(27:49):
it's like, these these things blow up really fast. And
again I think that Signetti contract is going to look
quaint next year.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
At this time, of course, I had to go in
depress myself by looking up Northwestern's costs these days. Ninety
seventy eight. Yay, all right, let's go back Ole Mix
and Georgia. One of the other big games for this
week's like one of our great top twenty five matchups
in this one, Ole Miss trying to hold on to
(28:18):
a top five.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Those again, I keep saying about the SEC, they're flawed.
I mean, Georgia's got all this talent. Ole Miss is great. Again.
What Lane Kiffin keeps doing there is borderline morat. It's
not quite up there with Signetti doing what he's doing
because it's Indiana. But remember when Ole Miss is not easy,
(28:41):
it's that's one of those programs that's just never quite
been there. And he's done as well as anybody who's
ever had that coaching gig at that school. So it's
a good team. It's got to just get up for
every game. Sometimes that thing doesn't work that fast offense,
because problem when you go one thousand miles an hour
is you can also go three and out in five
second and against the good teams that can occasionally wear
(29:03):
you down. But certainly worked last year, uh in the
win over Georgia in Georgia, but there's something missing. I
know they're young and I know, but they just kind
of there's just there's just there's just not a there there.
I mean, there's still good enough to get in the
final four of the college football playoffs, but this is
not the Georgia pastor here is where you could just
kind of see, Yeah, once they get him in the tournament,
(29:25):
forget it, they're just gonna steamroll over everyone. That's just
not this lunch all.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Right, lastly beat now. Obviously the heisman is one thing. Right,
we saw Carson Beck with a no touchdown for interception
performance tonight. If I said to you right now, midway
point of the season, who's the best quarterback in college football? Now,
who's gonna win the Heisman? Who's the best quarterback in
college football?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Jelly, yeah, you could.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
You could make a You can make a real theoretical
Algonquin Brown table argument that he is the MVP because
of what happened to that team in terms of.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
How good we were. He was a leading passer the
country peat, he was the leader from the country.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Sure he is.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
So here's the crazy part about this. There isn't a
real heisen start. But like we could, I mean, I'll
just got risk off names here, and at some point
every one of these guys is going to be like
a top five overall draft ted kind of guy. When
you're talking about yes, Arch Manning, when he figures it out,
Lenora Sellars at South Carolina, Carton Beck forgets that night
(30:25):
he's he is a top quarterback prospect. Hy Simpson's looking great.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Carr is starting to look like a number one overall
pick with the way he's playing. And just I'm sure
I'm just spacing on some obvious quarterbacks. Oh nuss Meyer
at LSU. There's just so many good quarterbacks out there,
and it's it's crazy, just it's gonna be week week
by week. So look at last week. If John Mattier
(30:52):
had arch Manning's day, he would be the front runner
for the heis And right now, if arch Manning had
had John Myttier's day, we'd be talking about where it starts,
is transferring to next I mean, it's just all in
the perception of which quarterback has kind of a hot
spuzze bottom on the right day.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
He's on Twitter at Pete Futech, That is, at Pete
Feutech college footballnews dot com. You're one stop shopping for
everything college football. Pete has always appreciated my friend. We'll
talk to you next week. Cap fun. Enjoy the game,
say aboudy and look, Syracuse is only sixty three grand
a year, Okay, not quite ninety guys, sixty grand, Well,
I mean you get up. It gets up to like
(31:30):
sixty eight grand with everything. Yeah, we see eight grand,
not ninety. Yeah, it was sixty eight for tuition at Northwest. Yeah,
I mean I paid a lot when I was there.
Let me tell you, I mean alone pay it piled up.
But when I started in the late eighties early nineties.
It was eleven grand a year, eleven twelve, and it
was a lot like the big schools. Being fifteen grand
(31:51):
was a lot. And in my four years it went
from eleven grand a year to seventeen grand. I was like, whoa,
and they just kept raising. Twister was like, this is
way too much money. Wait now, like now, fifteen grand
sounds quaint now, like he said, oh, it's a quainting
amount of money for Kurt Signetti. Oh fifteen grand. Oh
that's up. I'd love to pay fifteen grand a year
to send might get into a good school. Let to
me fantastic time out to find out what's trending in
(32:16):
the wide world of sports with guy who's been called
the Kurt Signetti at Fox Sports Radio. I wish because
he likes it. Right where he is right now. It's
Steve Desager.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Hello, gentlemen, And while we're talking college football, the late
games about to start the second half at Cal Golden
Bears leading North Carolina fourteen to ten. Minnesota defeated Nebraska
twenty four to six, and Utah stayed at home held
on to hand San Jose State another close defeat. Thirty
to twenty five, and yes, Louisville won at number two
Miami twenty four to twenty one.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
And then we had Sho.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
Heyotani in the Major League Baseball Playoffs.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
This evening show Hey O Toni the stuff of.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Legend Dodgers Radio.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
In fact, Otani hit three home runs as the Dodgers
clinched a spot in the World Series, eliminating the top
seed Milwaukee, winning four games straight in the NLCS five
to one Tonight's final. Those three home runs, that's not
the whole story. He was the starting pitcher, got the
win through six plus innings, scoreless, just two hits allowed
(33:20):
and ten strikeouts. He's the first guy ever with more
home runs hit in the game than he did have
hits allowed in a playoff game. He's the first Dodger
pitcher to homer in the postseason and a couple from
the needless to say department, first player in Major league
history to as a pitcher, hit a leadoff homer. He's
(33:42):
also the first guy to hit three homers in strikeout ten,
all in the same game in the major leagues. Milwaukee
season is over. They've lost eleven straight postseason games on
the road. The record is twelve. Milwaukee had gone six
and zero against the Dodgers in July. Those were their
only meetings during the regular season. Milwaukee won ninety seven games,
(34:06):
earned the top seed overall, and get mowed down by
the Dodgers, who allowed just one run to them in
each of the four games of this series. Seattle is
up three games to two in the ALCS after beating
Toronto six to two the final. There was an early
lead for the Mariners. They're one of the rare playoff
teams to score first in nine of their first ten
(34:28):
games of a postseason. They'd fallen behind though bottom of
the eighth until cal Rawley hit the tying solo homer
and in that frame a grand slam after two walks
in a hit batter, the big blow opposite field for
a U Hennio Suarez, who'd also hit a solo shot
in the second game six Sunday night at Toronto on
(34:48):
FS one. San Francisco tight end George Kittle will return
Sunday night after the torn hamstring opening day, but brock
perties out again with the toe injury. Quarterback Mac Jones
will start for the forty Niners in the NHL Detroit
won its four straight game in overtime win against Tampa
Bay two to one, and in a shootout, Vancouver won
at Chicago three to two, and the NBA's exhibition schedule
(35:11):
is ending tonight.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve o Hey. Is Otani
playing for their Lakers right now?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
It's only thing he didn't do today.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
Okay, we'n been telling some programs. Did we see him
in the aisles at Dodger Stateum that one home run
that he hit, It bears repeating. It went over the
roof in right field, one of the three long balls.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Thank you, Steven, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon lot from the
Fox Sports Radio studios. We got more on Otani's night
coming up in a few minutes, but straight ahead, we
preview two of the biggest games in the NFL this weekend,
including the Cowboys and the Game of the Week. I
don't think the Game of the Week is what you
think it is, but we got to come up next
right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend, Mike Harmon.
We'll get back into the night that was for show.
Hey o Tani coming up in twelve minutes. But Football
Friday continues on here. Thanks to Pete Futach for joining
us bringing down all the big games in college football
NFL this weekend. Couple of games to focus on here, Mike,
(36:28):
I'll tell you Commanders and the Cowboys. You get washing
in Dallas. You just see the uniforms against each other
and it just becomes something different. I have said over
the course of the season, Hey, you just don't want
to get caught up in a shootout with Dallas because
this is a team that can wind up beating you. Right,
that's the whole thing. Dallas is a five hundred is team.
(36:48):
Don't get cut up in a shootout. However, this game,
this is a shootout. Dallas wants no part of all. Right.
I'll tell you this. Jaden Daniels explodes this week against
this defense. In fact, till be the number one Fantasy
quarterback of the week. I gave you this for Caleb
Williams a couple of weeks ago. I'll give it to
you now with Jayden Daniels. It's gonna be like Jordan
Love in the playoff game a couple of years ago.
(37:10):
That's how big it's gonna be. They've been stopping start
so far. Coming off their surprise runner the NFC Championship game.
That changes right here. Even Ceedee Lamb coming back for
the Cowboys. A lot of points in this game, but
this is a Jaden Daniels game. He explodes the Commanders win,
and Jerry Jones is saying, well, I told you we
got to be able to stop the pass, got to
be able to stop running quarterbacks. I have stopped the run.
(37:32):
Stop the pass, stop running. We all start making more
trades to get more guys in here. Stop the run,
stop the pass. I love the dumb quarterbacks on there. Yeah,
straight out of the Super Bowl shuffle. It is a
one point spread, fifty four and a half the robust
total you mentioned Ceedee Lamb coming back on the other side.
No Trevon Diggs, but you're looking at a Dallas offense
(37:55):
that should be able to make Hey, you saw the
big play and explosive play potential that the Bears even
had a week ago. By the way, Bears only team
in the NFL to score at least twenty one points
in all all their games thus far this year. Just
I told you, man, the era of good feeling is here.
The Bears, Bears are who I thought they were.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
The anniversary of that was yesterday, by the way, the
Dennis Green quote, so I know we celebra Yeah, crazy,
How time does fly for Washington. No McLaurin and Deebo
still with an issue with the heel, which means you've
got to find some other bedfellows in terms of your
passing game, which meant more from zach Ertz a week ago.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Maybe Bill.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Can give you some work out of the backfield, but
curious to see about keep it up. I did the
coupling thing like in horse racing when I did the
you know the I watch your flex rankings where I
had Daniels in Prescott one two. You decide which order
you want him in because we're gonna get points all
over the place. It's gonna be glorious. But I picked
the Cowboys to win.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Oh, Jerry, I like the Harmon kid. He picks us
to win. Don't like the other guy, although he you know,
he makes a good point that we got to stop
the pass.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Well, you know what the difference is Aubrey kicking a
sixty eight yard.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Or winning sixty eight yard field goals.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Hey, four of eight this year are kickers on attempts
a sixty plus. Let's go take the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Game of the week in the NFL. Right here, Colts
and the Bolts. This is I can't wait for this game.
In fact, if I can only watch one game outside
of the Jets, because I'm the one that watches Jets games,
I would watch this. This is gonna wind up being
a signature Chargers defensive effort that blunts the Colts. As
(39:44):
great as they've been all season long. Look the Colts,
love them or not, they've been the best team in
the AFC. Right they have the best record, they have
the number one offense, second most points in the most
points what number two overall on offense. That's how good
they've been. But they're at home. They're going to pressure Jones.
They've been working on the pass rush a lot. They
made a big trade a couple of weeks ago. It's
(40:05):
gonna be a big game for Herbert, gonna be a
big game for Vidal as well. I'm expecting the Chargers
to play their best all around contest of the year
that will thrust them up the AFC ladder. The Colts
are due for a stinker. They have been playing really well,
but now you're getting the six games on tape, and
I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to talk about
the Chargers a ton after this game, going, hey man,
(40:27):
now you got to put them at the top. Signature
effort for them this year, all phases of the game
they beat the Colts.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Well, you just murdered everything there over. I think we'll
during that game in the fifth hour, I'll take Daniel
Jones over seventeen and a half rushing yards. I can
tell you that.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Well, I like that. I love that. Yeah, that's a
good one.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Chris quarterback's number two in terms of rushing yardage against
the Chargers this year. But like I said, two points spread,
expecting a hard fought, battled there was some optimism, at
least externally in the building. I don't know how much
that Alt would be ready to go, but it looks
like he's getting closer. You mentioned Oway being added to
(41:11):
that defensive line trying to get after Daniel Jones. Think
who wins Taylor versus Vidal who rushes for more yards.
There's your winner.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Man. I'll tell you this is look the cults. It
doesn't change how I feel about the Colts. No, it
does because then they lose. No, no, no, because I
told look, cults are terrific. Right, should have got him
at ten thousand plus ten thousand when I told you
dark Horse super Bowl team. But this week, look, it's
a long way to go coming out here doing that. Yeah,
kind of comes to an end for the cult, just
(41:42):
for a week. They hit a bump in the road
and we're talking charge and everybody's wearing Lululemon Khaki's. Next week,
every single person Panthers. Coming up next, we get back
into the most historic night we've seen in baseball history
and the playoffs. This is Fox Sports Radio.

Well.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
We'll have more on Shoaio Tani and his absolutely historical
night coming up in a bit. But it is a
big football Friday, Dodgers headed to the World Series and
now all of a sudden college football tonight. Oh by
the way, both top twenty five teams in action have
already been upset. Matt Rule has been knocked out of
the running to coach Penn State. As Nebraska gets beaten
(01:17):
by Minnesota, they row the boat to a twenty four
to six win and Louisville beats Miami twenty four to
twenty one. Carl speaking of getting knocked off the list,
Carson Beck gets knocked off of the high of trap.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
He was three to one, he was the favorite.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, now now he's zero to four because he had
zero touchdowns and four interceptions tonight for Miami, including the
final pick. Great athletic play on a final drive where
Miami was gonna go in for at least the game
tying field goal to send it to overtime. Instead, Louisville
comes away with the win. Number two. Miami loses, they
will drop Nebraska will fall out of the top twenty five.
(01:56):
And now it's Bill belichicken North Carolina. After all the
drama to day with Pablo Tory and new video and audio,
cal leads North Carolina right now fourteen ten, three and
a half to go before halftime. Can I raise my
hand on all the reporting and obsession and good on Pablotory.
It's it's clearly working out for him.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I don't care, No but.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Here's the thing. This is, this is this is part
of it, like all the other stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
But you don't want we want to talk about the
Lombardi stuff and the trips and the money and whatever
else that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's no, but it's it's it's it's not even that
I don't care, because I think if people didn't care,
it wouldn't get the attention.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
No, no, I was saying for me, this is a little
mikeykey harm.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I think there's a weirder different question to ask. And today,
obviously Pablo Tory UH went on a podcast and talked
about new audio that he unearthed that shows Jordan Hudson's
involvement in Bill Belichick's career. Uh some audio and video
when they taped their coat show from a year ago
that Belichick and Matt Patricia taped where Jordan Hudson was
(03:01):
asking questions about what they were talking about, asking about
the Cowboys, Uh, is it is it kind of easy
to say to stop the Cowboys from scoring touchdowns? And
Belichick's got to explain to her, well, they have the
best offense and you want to make him kick a
field goal? And she says, well, is that kind of
a red zone thing, and you just see overall, her
involvement with a football show is kind of weird. They
(03:21):
argued about graphics as well. It was really strange, this
whole thing. And look, the audio has been out there
all you know, all day, and you see it and
and it's you know, you can see it if you
want to. But there's a there's a there's a bigger
question here that I really want asked. And and I
think that and and and the question is this, So
Pablo Tory's been the guy and he's become he's reinvented
(03:42):
himself as an investigative reporter. Right, Pablo Tory finds out right, uh,
you know, investing the events aid the Kawhi Leonard situation,
and I get the Kawhi Leonard thing with you know, hey,
did he get money to do a sham job?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So they could skirt the salary cap because that's about
rule breaking in the NBA. It is something that other
teams do. Right, I'm nervous, what are they gonna find
out about you? And he took away less money?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Man?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But that's it, right, how many teams are going? Please
don't investigate this any further. We don't need you knocking
out our door.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So I get that part of it, right, get that.
I get that part. Hey, that's a pretty good investigative
report because this you're talking about rule breaking in the NBA,
what they're doing. I don't understand why he's investigating the
relationship of Belichick and Jordan Hudson, Right, I don't understand.
I don't understand what the endgame is what. He's not
(04:34):
investigating something that's illegal, he's not investigating something that is
controversial Jordan Hudson. I mean, you know, she's way younger
than him, and everybody's got their thoughts Belichick in the seventies.
She's twenty three, but when they were dating, she was
over eighteen in her early twenties. Yes, it's weird. We've
given our opinions on that. But I don't know what
(04:55):
the endgame is other than hey, here's some here's some
some some a quick click journalism line from you. We're here,
here's some stuff because you're interested in the Belichick Jordan
Hudson dynamic. Here's some details about their relationship. And I
would get it if it was a tabloid show, if
it was if it was TMZ, if It was one
(05:15):
of those kind of shows showing, hey, here's the ins
and outs of a Hollywood relationship, right, like all the
attention we're getting right now with Kevin Federline's book about
Britney Spears and all these different things, right, Okay, these
are Hollywood relationships and people care about that, right Like
who is who's dating who? In all these reasons? People
care why Laurie Laughlin is is not married, whatever it
(05:36):
has been going on in the pain about her the
last few days, and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban and
they're divorced all the like. I get that. I get
that there's interest in that. I don't understand what the
endgame is with this investigation into this story. What are
you trying to prove? No, there's no illegalities going on.
I mean, hey, I think everybody's got their opinion of Belichick.
(05:58):
Come on, man, you're in your seventies. What are you
doing in a twenty year old? Like, what are you doing? Right?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
What what is happening here? I get it, but I
don't I don't know what, Like, what is what? What's
going to be the whole purpose to this? The whole
purpose is what? Yeah, to get clicks, all right, But boy,
he really seems to be going out of his way.
I got this audio of what of them arguing about
what they should be saying on the Coaches Show and
the graphics of the show, Like, okay, is I'm sorry eight?
Speaker 6 (06:30):
I mean, I'm trying to tell him the strategy for football.
This is ant I know, I know well what I'm
trying to do. I actually do have a take on
that in a second, but I just don't know what, Like,
what's the purpose of this? Like usually investigative reporting ends
with something, Hey, somebody gets out and is doing something wrong,
or there's illegalities, or there's this, or there's but but
(06:53):
this just seems to hey, I'm going to sensationalize their relationship, and.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
That's that's not really a sports man. He's did doing
this in the sports realm. It's just a really weird
and odd obsession that he seems to have with this
storyline that I would ask and go, so, just why
are you doing all this? Man? I mean doing this
for the attention, for the clicks, for what where? Because
I really I don't see where the event. You're a journalist, right,
(07:18):
and where the journalistic part of this equation.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Is, well, we've long talked about what journalism is in
the sports world and certainly in the larger scope, and
when you're talking about sports, television, sports radio, capital J,
lowercase JA, the jay's been erased. You can decide where
you're at in that continuum, regardless of what someone's CV
may say. They once did with Pablotora, I mean, go
(07:44):
back to when he went to the house where Belichick
was shirtless, Like, what the hell's that got to? I mean, again,
we just commemorated the eighteenth anniversary of the Kardashians. This
just is an extension of that. So you can do
two things. You can go do the serious bigger jay,
mid size jay journalism thing in the sham jobs and
(08:04):
circumventing the cap or whatever else, which most owners in
the NBA, again they don't seem to care. The NBA
for the most part, is doing the I'm covering my
ears and I'm putting blinders on.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I don't want to know about it. They have to
eventually do probably a sham investigation about it. But when
it's all said and done, I think that that has
some merit. This you're making money off clicks and you're
trying to embarrass Belichick for whatever whatever purposes.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Because it's taking strategy of football and he's the greatest
coach ever from a twenty foree year roll.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
That's exactly why this is incredible. Well, you know what,
here's the thing, I got news for you.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
You probably clicked at least ten thousand times today, Jason,
at least.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Least no I got news click click click. So the
the audio that we're talking you is is Jordan Hudson says,
you know, they're talking about the Cowboys offense and he
and Matt Patricia say in this specific game for last
year that hey, you know, you got you got to
keep the Cowboys out of the end zone, right, you
got to keep them out of the end zone. And
she comes up after they finished tape in the segment
and said, yeah, you know, is that is that something
(09:10):
that you know? Do you want to say something better
than that? Do you want to say, you know, keeping
the Cowboys out of the end zone? And Belichick explains, hey, well,
you know we talked about how they have the best
offense in the NFL. You want to force them to
kick field goals, you know, you want to keep them
out of the end zone, and she asked, well, well,
is that a red zone thing? Is that something you
want to get a little more in detail on and
Belichick and Matt Patricia kind of like, yeah, that's kind
of what we're talking about. But you know what, but
(09:32):
I got news for you. I agree with her. I
agree with her on this because any of us can say, hey, something,
Cowboys have the great offense. You want to keep them
out of the end zone. You want to force them
to kick field goals. I mean, I don't need to
be Bill Belichick to be able to tell you that, right, Like,
if you're paying Belichick, you're doing a coach a show.
I want something more than that, man, I want something
(09:53):
more than you showing up and mailing in by saying, yeah,
they have a great offense, it's got to keep them
out of the end zone. Oh really, thanks Bill. I
thought making make sure they scored quick so I get
the ball back was the way to do it. Like, honestly,
I see her point because it's like so many analysts,
so many people that I've seen over the course of
my life that are former players that have done either
(10:14):
auditions or are you know, want to get gigs. They
come out with guns blazing, right, and they'll say whatever
they want, and they're saying incredibly interesting stuff and then
the light goes on or they got to talk for real,
and they just mail it in with empty, vacuous statements
about hey, well you know you got to be able
to play better than that, you can't throw that many
interceptions in a game, all things that you and I
(10:35):
know that every fan knows. So yeah, I expect a
little bit more from Bill Belichick and breaking stuff down
than just hey, yeah, you got to keep the Cowboys
out of the end zone. Oh gee, thanks Bill. That
that's real Algonquin roundtable stuff that I'm getting from you.
So that and I've never defended Jordan Hudson for a
second or anything, but I think she's all of us
by saying, real, that's what you want to say, keep
the Cowboys out of the end zone? Like like, I mean,
(10:56):
come on, man, you watch people who play football for
a living and do this, and this is what you get.
I mean, honest, this is stuff that anybody that's watched
a football game for more than than a half can say, well,
you got to keep them out of the end zone, right,
And I get his point of Hey, you got to
keep them to field goals, right, and but here's how
you do it. Here's you to X, Y and Z
to just say, yeah, you got to keep them out
(11:18):
of the end zone. Oh okay, great like that. That's
why I'm watching this, so all this cutting edge entertainment
and insight. Like so many shows, the analysts just don't
say anything. I get that part of it. I mean, now,
Jordan Hudson, is she the right vehicle to be saying this?
Is she? Is this gonna come? Are people going to
agree with that? Probably not, because it's her and everybody's
informed their opinion about her. But look, I'll be honest
(11:40):
with you. When she said that, I was like, yeah,
I kind of would want more from Bellowchicken, Matt Patricia myself.
I don't know I'd find a better way to say that.
But if I'm a producer, if i'm if I'm you know,
putting this show on the air, I would say, hey, man,
give me something better than that. Man, you can't just
sit here and say, yeah, keep the cowboys out of
the ear. I would.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I would show them a clip of the show. I'm
referenced for years.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I love the.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Film study show that he would do when he was
a coach and the Patriots, he stood at a lecture
and they had a video board and he would draw
and map out a play and show you how it
came to play. You know, give you whatever the call was,
but all of that, you know, responsibilities and telling you
what all right, here's what the cornerback's supposed to do.
Here you could see he has a false step here
(12:24):
and and he broke it down. But he also gave
you the larger picture of what they were calling and
what the intent was, either offensively or defensively. That's what
I would have shown if I was the producer. I'm like,
we need more of that.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah, I really I not to say specifically, because look,
I don't know exactly what they were talking, you know,
getting it, but to hear she says, hey, you want
to say more than just that? Yeah, I kind of
do want more than that. And then I don't know
if it was something I want something more specific on
Dak Prescott, like here's how you stop Dak Prescott, Here's
how you stop the Cowboys offense. Here's what I would
(13:00):
do defensively. Whatever it is, I mean, there's got to
be something else better that uniquely you can bring to
the show. That is why people, you know, listen to you.
I mean, you're you're Bill bleeping Belichick. Man, is the
first time people have seen you in the media. You
went from Hey, I don't like anybody. I'm not saying anything,
and then you're hanging out with Pat McAfee two days
a week and laughing and telling stories and going on
(13:22):
the Tom Brady roads and all of a sudden, oh,
look at his Bellichick. Now he loves everybody. Like Okay,
I you know, people really want to see more out
of you as far as that goes. And and I
understand that. Now the graphics part of it, whatever, I mean,
that's you know, whatever is what it was. But I
get that part of it. Man, it's you got to
be conscious that you're always giving people something that they
(13:42):
can take away from listening and watching you. Whether it's hey,
what this guy said was really funny. What this guy
said was a great opinion. It made me think it
was it was great analysis for something. You got to
give people something because there's so many places you can
go people can go to to get in for It's like, Okay,
what did I watch the Belichick. While I wasn't entertained,
(14:03):
I didn't really learn anything, and uh, there's nothing I
could take away from that. So I'm gonna go watch
somebody else.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon Hobo. It's really show. Hey o Tani, night
boy boy. We'll get back to that coming up in
a few minutes. A night that you've never seen before
in the history of Major League Baseball. It was that good.
(16:43):
But you know what else has been good tonight too?
The upsets in college football. You have a big slate
of games tomorrow. Number two, Miami goes down, Carson Beck
no touchdowns, four picks, Nebraska loses, Matt Rule, will fall
out of the top twenty five and maybe out of
getting the job with Penn State.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I thought you were gonna stay out of the top
twenty five, and the chase to be the next Penn
State coach.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Joining us now in the hot line to break it
all down. Nobody better. Our most trusted college football inside
or the website is college Footballnews dot com. You're one
stop shopping for everything college football all the picks, all
the prognostications, all the analysis you want, all done by
Pete Futech. He is on Twitter at Pete Futech. Pete
(17:30):
who had the worst night tonight? Carson Beck's Heisman chances
or Matt Rules chances to be the head coach of
Penn State?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Well, I don't. It's so weird because yeah, the hes
chase is still awful that maybe Beck can get back
in it, but he's not really gonna have any big
chances to go, so I don't. I liked him in
the Heisman race, but his coaching staff didn't do him
any favorites tonight either. They didn't run the ball, didn't
help money, and he's still they still almost pulled that
thing out. As bad as he played Tim, He's gonna
(18:00):
be fine. It's Friday night weirdness. They're gonna still probably
go eleven and one and go to the easy Gipps,
although now it's a jumble now they need help to
get to the EECY Championship, but eleven and one gets
him an that large bid. They have the noise and
so the Miami's gonna be fine. In all this, I
don't get Matt ruhle I, I never have. I think
it's he had a couple had one great year with
(18:22):
Baylor where they you know, didn't win stuff, but they
came close. Uh, he'd played. He was good at Temple
for a little while. But I never got him why
he was such the hot you know, coach for the
Panthers in the NFL circuit or this big deal at Nebraska.
I mean, he's he hasn't exactly set the world on
fire there and I and I don't get at all
(18:44):
why he is in the Penn State next other than
that his Temple team beat Penn State a million years
ago and Penn State fans kind of remember that. So
it's kind of the thing where and I think we've
talked about this, you know, he's done there so long,
and he did this tough maybe the Texas John opening
and Florida job opening. Every big fan base just assumes, well,
(19:04):
who wouldn't want this job, you know, who wouldn't want
to be a part of all this way. They all
think they can get a Harbaugh, you know, either one.
They all think they can get anybody they want, and
it's just not that simple.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Pete.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
As we look at the slate going forward, as we
watch Bill Belichick and Cal get after it. Now we
look at this slate going forward. Obviously a lot of
interest here locally with the USC and not your name,
big point spread and looks like a mismatch on paper.
Can Lincoln Riley go pull some magic off?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Problem is that Notre Dame is looking great against kind
of a teams. I mean, Boise States not very good.
Empty State's not very good, Purdue's not very good. You know,
Arkansas is not very good. So okay, yeah, you know
Notre Dame looks fantastic against those four, but they didn't
get the job done against Texas A and m or Miami.
I think Nor Dame wins. You're right, this is too
(19:59):
big a point spread. I like the over I like
the idea that the USC's offense is going to get rolling.
A t K Car is going to be under pressure
more than he probably has all year long. Because this
USC defense can he said, get after they They've got
a pass rush there. I would put it past USC
being able to win this. I this offense is clicking,
(20:20):
everything's starting to work. It's gonna be a fascinating, intriguing
game because there's no margin for error. For Nowayman obviously
needs this game more because it loses once more and
there's no conference title to play for.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
They're, you know, just looking for a.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Nice bull bit.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
At that point. USC can still stay alive with a
last year. They got some nasty games coming up. But
if USC wins, that kind of takes the whole Lincoln
Riley think, a whole other level. But it's very I
think it's gonna be a fun shootout because the last
few of them between these two have been up and
down firefights. I think that this will be sort of
the same peat.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
The other game four thirty on ABC Tennessee and Alabama
a month ago, so it was how much is the
buyout for Kaalin Debori can't beat good teams here? We
are a month later and suddenly maybe ty Simpson's gonna
be the Heisman favorite. Maybe we're going to roll to
the SEC title. All of a sudden, everybody loves Alabama again.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
Yeah, I'm kind of starting to it's kind of a PROBEMCT.
I'm running out of teams here, but I'm kind of
under the belief that all the SEC teams are just
kind of ah and we were now in that silly
season where SEC teams play other SEC teams, so we think,
oh wow, look at that they beat you know, Tennessee,
or they beat Alabama, and then you kind of remember,
oh yeah, Alabama lost the mess Florida State team and
(21:37):
you know, okay, Tennessee's big win with Syracuse no offense,
that was they were good then under Steve at Jelly.
But it's I mean, I think these teams are fine.
You know, they're flawed, but they're fine. They're gonna have
a fun game. The Alabama defense isn't quite the defense
of you know, the Nick saban Era by any stretch.
They don't really have a running game, but they can
(21:58):
throw it. That's the teams and more offensive. Tennessee's defense
has not then good enough. I think they're going to
get ripped apart another high scoring game. I think these
two are going to go up and down the field
and make it make for a fun game at Alabama
pulls it out. Like you said, you know, it's it's
just how crazy this stuff works, because you know, you know,
we're looking at a buyout for Kalin the boor look
(22:19):
at a guy like Franklin, you know what eighteen days ago.
If he gets one defensive stop late in the fourth
quarter in any of the three games, he's still the
Penn State head coach. And you know, yeah you don't.
You can't move to U Eucla or Northwestern. But still
he gets he pulls one of those three out, he's
stole on today.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
How much of that is dictated by the change in
apparel companies and such? Behind the scenes business wise.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
I've asked, you know, it's the whole Adida thing saying,
you know, we want something different, something you know, I
sort of get it in terms of what they want
to represent, how much money they're bringing in, But I
keep having to go back to to be careful what
you wish for a thing. And you can't ever lose
in college football. You are one and it doesn't matter
who you are. You are. You know, look at you know,
(23:05):
all the comments on dabbo before where you know you're
gonna have dabbos we need to kick around anymore in
the press conferences, And you know it's you. You've got
all these coaches. You are always one two game losing
streak away from being on a hot seat, no matter
who you are. As a college football head coach, uh.
And the crazy part about this is going forward. You
know again the whole idea, oh well Penn State is
(23:27):
just going to go get Signetti, Well that's not happening.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Now.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
I still say they should break the bank for Lane
Kiss and but I highly doubt that's going to happen. So,
you know what name out there is going to be
like wow for Penn State fans because again they think
that they can get anybody they want. And the bizarre
reality is the best guy out there for the job
Penn State head coaching job is James Franklin. Like so
it's I don't know what you can do with I
(23:52):
mean when Wisconsin, you know, finally ends this with Sickle.
If I'm Chris mcantized their ad, I'm on the phone.
I think Franklin would be amazing there. So he's done
a great job overall, but sometimes these things just kind
of last a little too long. You to see a
change of scenery.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
College Footballnews dot Com Spete fu Tech our guest Jason
Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
Are you mentioned Kurt Signetty Pete and when this came out?
When this came out, his extension with Indiana eight years
ninety three million. I thought, you know what, this is
a great story for every college football fan because now
even if you have a mid tier power program like
(24:32):
Indiana or or lower tier and now here, they are
like if you have alumni, if you have big alumni
that make money, you figure and they like your head coach,
you can figure out the NIL era. You can get
good players to come, you can get great coaches to stay.
And like a story like this, I feel like just
reaffirms that, hey, some schools are leveling the playing field
(24:53):
with some of these other big schools while all the
big schools don't like NIL at all. Oh wait a minute, yeah,
cause you you get some famous people that can and
people that like the new head coach. So they're giving
money to Fran Brown at Syracuse and Manny d as
a duke and all these schools are playing really well.
I think this is a great day for everybody in
college football.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
I mean, it's a Texas Tech, you know, Oregon thing
where you guys, if you have money, you can do it.
Like I'm still waiting to see at some point, Mark
Cuban can you know for anything he wants As an
Indiana grad and it's it's it's not just this. They
never listen to the major colleges when they cry poor
when it comes to buyouts. I mean the forty nine
million dollars while for that's that's couch cushion money for
(25:31):
Pen the use Penn State University and the money that
place rolls in. Remember if you're a big giant school
like the University of Indiana, all the you know, that
whole Signetti contract, all this guaranteed money. Oh my gosh,
A that's literally only like four hundred out of state students.
You know it could been so they while you're talking
about it is you're getting a better class of student
(25:51):
grad students who might you know, add more to the
you know mix here. You're going to make that up
pretty easily and just straight tuition money. Look at your
Syracuse that's ninety a year kid that you know. Yeah,
an extension from fran Bruh had nothing compared to the
money as rolling in that play.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
When I graduated, it was it went from eleven grand
a year to seventeen grand a year, and there were
protests that it was too much money. There were protests
on campus.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I was too they had to pay mellow.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I went.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
I went to Wisconsin where there was literally a student
protest against the ten dollars fee added on to your
tuition to help the athletic department. Like it's so sweet,
it's so like that.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Yeah, my kid who wanted to go to college, she's like, oh,
what about Syracuse? This as the school I'm looking for. Nope, no, no, no,
no no, We're gonna try someplace els here. But yeah,
I mean so all these places. Yeah, if you're Kent
State or your Louisiana Monroe, yeah you can't afford that
kind of stuff. But the other thing to remember too,
when it comes to all this money we're talking about.
(26:55):
At some point, I actually think Signetti got was cheap.
I think that's a quaint little contract.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Because if this kicks in.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
I'm gonna talk like they know what a hedge fund
actually is. But this hedge fund thingy that other you know,
the kids are all into in the Big ten and
that they might have with the billions of dollars coming in,
they're just gonna be they have more money. They're going
to know what to do with. And remember the average
starting quarterback, Like right now, you've got Cincinnati Bengals are
(27:26):
paying Joe Burrow fifty million this year to not play
because he's injured. You know, there's money out there in
sports all over the place. There was a game on
a few months back because on the SEC networking old
Missouri game from like nineteen ninety eight, and they're saying,
oh my gosh, head coach Larry Smith, fresh off is
fat new contract two hundred thousand dollars a year, And
(27:49):
it's like, these these things blow up really fast. And
again I think that Signetti contract is going to look
quaint next year.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
At this time, of course, I had to go in
depress myself by looking up Northwestern's costs these days. Ninety
seventy eight. Yay, all right, let's go back Ole Mix
and Georgia. One of the other big games for this
week's like one of our great top twenty five matchups
in this one, Ole Miss trying to hold on to
(28:18):
a top five.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Those again, I keep saying about the SEC, they're flawed.
I mean, Georgia's got all this talent. Ole Miss is great. Again.
What Lane Kiffin keeps doing there is borderline morat. It's
not quite up there with Signetti doing what he's doing
because it's Indiana. But remember when Ole Miss is not easy,
(28:41):
it's that's one of those programs that's just never quite
been there. And he's done as well as anybody who's
ever had that coaching gig at that school. So it's
a good team. It's got to just get up for
every game. Sometimes that thing doesn't work that fast offense,
because problem when you go one thousand miles an hour
is you can also go three and out in five
second and against the good teams that can occasionally wear
(29:03):
you down. But certainly worked last year, uh in the
win over Georgia in Georgia, but there's something missing. I
know they're young and I know, but they just kind
of there's just there's just there's just not a there there.
I mean, there's still good enough to get in the
final four of the college football playoffs, but this is
not the Georgia pastor here is where you could just
kind of see, Yeah, once they get him in the tournament,
(29:25):
forget it, they're just gonna steamroll over everyone. That's just
not this lunch all.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Right, lastly beat now. Obviously the heisman is one thing. Right,
we saw Carson Beck with a no touchdown for interception
performance tonight. If I said to you right now, midway
point of the season, who's the best quarterback in college football? Now,
who's gonna win the Heisman? Who's the best quarterback in
college football?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Jelly, yeah, you could.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
You could make a You can make a real theoretical
Algonquin Brown table argument that he is the MVP because
of what happened to that team in terms of.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
How good we were. He was a leading passer the
country peat, he was the leader from the country.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Sure he is.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
So here's the crazy part about this. There isn't a
real heisen start. But like we could, I mean, I'll
just got risk off names here, and at some point
every one of these guys is going to be like
a top five overall draft ted kind of guy. When
you're talking about yes, Arch Manning, when he figures it out,
Lenora Sellars at South Carolina, Carton Beck forgets that night
(30:25):
he's he is a top quarterback prospect. Hy Simpson's looking great.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Carr is starting to look like a number one overall
pick with the way he's playing. And just I'm sure
I'm just spacing on some obvious quarterbacks. Oh nuss Meyer
at LSU. There's just so many good quarterbacks out there,
and it's it's crazy, just it's gonna be week week
by week. So look at last week. If John Mattier
(30:52):
had arch Manning's day, he would be the front runner
for the heis And right now, if arch Manning had
had John Myttier's day, we'd be talking about where it starts,
is transferring to next I mean, it's just all in
the perception of which quarterback has kind of a hot
spuzze bottom on the right day.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
He's on Twitter at Pete Futech, That is, at Pete
Feutech college footballnews dot com. You're one stop shopping for
everything college football. Pete has always appreciated my friend. We'll
talk to you next week. Cap fun. Enjoy the game,
say aboudy and look, Syracuse is only sixty three grand
a year, Okay, not quite ninety guys, sixty grand, Well,
I mean you get up. It gets up to like
(31:30):
sixty eight grand with everything. Yeah, we see eight grand,
not ninety. Yeah, it was sixty eight for tuition at Northwest. Yeah,
I mean I paid a lot when I was there.
Let me tell you, I mean alone pay it piled up.
But when I started in the late eighties early nineties.
It was eleven grand a year, eleven twelve, and it
was a lot like the big schools. Being fifteen grand
(31:51):
was a lot. And in my four years it went
from eleven grand a year to seventeen grand. I was like, whoa,
and they just kept raising. Twister was like, this is
way too much money. Wait now, like now, fifteen grand
sounds quaint now, like he said, oh, it's a quainting
amount of money for Kurt Signetti. Oh fifteen grand. Oh
that's up. I'd love to pay fifteen grand a year
to send might get into a good school. Let to
me fantastic time out to find out what's trending in
(32:16):
the wide world of sports with guy who's been called
the Kurt Signetti at Fox Sports Radio. I wish because
he likes it. Right where he is right now. It's
Steve Desager.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Hello, gentlemen, And while we're talking college football, the late
games about to start the second half at Cal Golden
Bears leading North Carolina fourteen to ten. Minnesota defeated Nebraska
twenty four to six, and Utah stayed at home held
on to hand San Jose State another close defeat. Thirty
to twenty five, and yes, Louisville won at number two
Miami twenty four to twenty one.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
And then we had Sho.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
Heyotani in the Major League Baseball Playoffs.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
This evening show Hey O Toni the stuff of.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Legend Dodgers Radio.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
In fact, Otani hit three home runs as the Dodgers
clinched a spot in the World Series, eliminating the top
seed Milwaukee, winning four games straight in the NLCS five
to one Tonight's final. Those three home runs, that's not
the whole story. He was the starting pitcher, got the
win through six plus innings, scoreless, just two hits allowed
(33:20):
and ten strikeouts. He's the first guy ever with more
home runs hit in the game than he did have
hits allowed in a playoff game. He's the first Dodger
pitcher to homer in the postseason and a couple from
the needless to say department, first player in Major league
history to as a pitcher, hit a leadoff homer. He's
(33:42):
also the first guy to hit three homers in strikeout ten,
all in the same game in the major leagues. Milwaukee
season is over. They've lost eleven straight postseason games on
the road. The record is twelve. Milwaukee had gone six
and zero against the Dodgers in July. Those were their
only meetings during the regular season. Milwaukee won ninety seven games,
(34:06):
earned the top seed overall, and get mowed down by
the Dodgers, who allowed just one run to them in
each of the four games of this series. Seattle is
up three games to two in the ALCS after beating
Toronto six to two the final. There was an early
lead for the Mariners. They're one of the rare playoff
teams to score first in nine of their first ten
(34:28):
games of a postseason. They'd fallen behind though bottom of
the eighth until cal Rawley hit the tying solo homer
and in that frame a grand slam after two walks
in a hit batter, the big blow opposite field for
a U Hennio Suarez, who'd also hit a solo shot
in the second game six Sunday night at Toronto on
(34:48):
FS one. San Francisco tight end George Kittle will return
Sunday night after the torn hamstring opening day, but brock
perties out again with the toe injury. Quarterback Mac Jones
will start for the forty Niners in the NHL Detroit
won its four straight game in overtime win against Tampa
Bay two to one, and in a shootout, Vancouver won
at Chicago three to two, and the NBA's exhibition schedule
(35:11):
is ending tonight.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve o Hey. Is Otani
playing for their Lakers right now?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
It's only thing he didn't do today.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
Okay, we'n been telling some programs. Did we see him
in the aisles at Dodger Stateum that one home run
that he hit, It bears repeating. It went over the
roof in right field, one of the three long balls.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Thank you, Steven, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon lot from the
Fox Sports Radio studios. We got more on Otani's night
coming up in a few minutes, but straight ahead, we
preview two of the biggest games in the NFL this weekend,
including the Cowboys and the Game of the Week. I
don't think the Game of the Week is what you
think it is, but we got to come up next
right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend, Mike Harmon.
We'll get back into the night that was for show.
Hey o Tani coming up in twelve minutes. But Football
Friday continues on here. Thanks to Pete Futach for joining
us bringing down all the big games in college football
NFL this weekend. Couple of games to focus on here, Mike,
(36:28):
I'll tell you Commanders and the Cowboys. You get washing
in Dallas. You just see the uniforms against each other
and it just becomes something different. I have said over
the course of the season, Hey, you just don't want
to get caught up in a shootout with Dallas because
this is a team that can wind up beating you. Right,
that's the whole thing. Dallas is a five hundred is team.
(36:48):
Don't get cut up in a shootout. However, this game,
this is a shootout. Dallas wants no part of all. Right.
I'll tell you this. Jaden Daniels explodes this week against
this defense. In fact, till be the number one Fantasy
quarterback of the week. I gave you this for Caleb
Williams a couple of weeks ago. I'll give it to
you now with Jayden Daniels. It's gonna be like Jordan
Love in the playoff game a couple of years ago.
(37:10):
That's how big it's gonna be. They've been stopping start
so far. Coming off their surprise runner the NFC Championship game.
That changes right here. Even Ceedee Lamb coming back for
the Cowboys. A lot of points in this game, but
this is a Jaden Daniels game. He explodes the Commanders win,
and Jerry Jones is saying, well, I told you we
got to be able to stop the pass, got to
be able to stop running quarterbacks. I have stopped the run.
(37:32):
Stop the pass, stop running. We all start making more
trades to get more guys in here. Stop the run,
stop the pass. I love the dumb quarterbacks on there. Yeah,
straight out of the Super Bowl shuffle. It is a
one point spread, fifty four and a half the robust
total you mentioned Ceedee Lamb coming back on the other side.
No Trevon Diggs, but you're looking at a Dallas offense
(37:55):
that should be able to make Hey, you saw the
big play and explosive play potential that the Bears even
had a week ago. By the way, Bears only team
in the NFL to score at least twenty one points
in all all their games thus far this year. Just
I told you, man, the era of good feeling is here.
The Bears, Bears are who I thought they were.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
The anniversary of that was yesterday, by the way, the
Dennis Green quote, so I know we celebra Yeah, crazy,
How time does fly for Washington. No McLaurin and Deebo
still with an issue with the heel, which means you've
got to find some other bedfellows in terms of your
passing game, which meant more from zach Ertz a week ago.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Maybe Bill.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Can give you some work out of the backfield, but
curious to see about keep it up. I did the
coupling thing like in horse racing when I did the
you know the I watch your flex rankings where I
had Daniels in Prescott one two. You decide which order
you want him in because we're gonna get points all
over the place. It's gonna be glorious. But I picked
the Cowboys to win.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Oh, Jerry, I like the Harmon kid. He picks us
to win. Don't like the other guy, although he you know,
he makes a good point that we got to stop
the pass.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Well, you know what the difference is Aubrey kicking a
sixty eight yard.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Or winning sixty eight yard field goals.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Hey, four of eight this year are kickers on attempts
a sixty plus. Let's go take the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Game of the week in the NFL. Right here, Colts
and the Bolts. This is I can't wait for this game.
In fact, if I can only watch one game outside
of the Jets, because I'm the one that watches Jets games,
I would watch this. This is gonna wind up being
a signature Chargers defensive effort that blunts the Colts. As
(39:44):
great as they've been all season long. Look the Colts,
love them or not, they've been the best team in
the AFC. Right they have the best record, they have
the number one offense, second most points in the most
points what number two overall on offense. That's how good
they've been. But they're at home. They're going to pressure Jones.
They've been working on the pass rush a lot. They
made a big trade a couple of weeks ago. It's
(40:05):
gonna be a big game for Herbert, gonna be a
big game for Vidal as well. I'm expecting the Chargers
to play their best all around contest of the year
that will thrust them up the AFC ladder. The Colts
are due for a stinker. They have been playing really well,
but now you're getting the six games on tape, and
I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to talk about
the Chargers a ton after this game, going, hey man,
(40:27):
now you got to put them at the top. Signature
effort for them this year, all phases of the game
they beat the Colts.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Well, you just murdered everything there over. I think we'll
during that game in the fifth hour, I'll take Daniel
Jones over seventeen and a half rushing yards. I can
tell you that.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Well, I like that. I love that. Yeah, that's a
good one.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Chris quarterback's number two in terms of rushing yardage against
the Chargers this year. But like I said, two points spread,
expecting a hard fought, battled there was some optimism, at
least externally in the building. I don't know how much
that Alt would be ready to go, but it looks
like he's getting closer. You mentioned Oway being added to
(41:11):
that defensive line trying to get after Daniel Jones. Think
who wins Taylor versus Vidal who rushes for more yards.
There's your winner.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Man. I'll tell you this is look the cults. It
doesn't change how I feel about the Colts. No, it
does because then they lose. No, no, no, because I
told look, cults are terrific. Right, should have got him
at ten thousand plus ten thousand when I told you
dark Horse super Bowl team. But this week, look, it's
a long way to go coming out here doing that. Yeah,
kind of comes to an end for the cult, just
(41:42):
for a week. They hit a bump in the road
and we're talking charge and everybody's wearing Lululemon Khaki's. Next week,
every single person Panthers. Coming up next, we get back
into the most historic night we've seen in baseball history
and the playoffs. This is Fox Sports Radio.
