Speaker 1 (00:31):

Please watch Anyway. The Patriots lead the Jets fourteen to seven.
Early in the third quarter. Patriots have the football. The
Jets offense, after an incredibly physical and tough first drive,

(01:16):
has done absolutely nothing, and the Patriots, with two Treveon
Henderson touchdowns, have a seven point lead. It feels a
lot bigger, mainly because Justin Fields is playing quarterback for
the New York Jets.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Seventy two yards on that opening drive over eight minutes he.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Elapsed and seventy two yards. I mean, that was a
lot of offense. You had what twenty four passing yards
at halftime. You know, you laugh when I said at
the beginning of the year, Justin Field is gonna run
for a thousand yards and throw for a thousand yards.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Laugh, You really meant not at least one thousand yards,
that he was going to creep towards that end, was
gonna finish around one.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Thousand at the end of the year. You would say, hey,
thousand fifty shadowm like, of course, no, that makes sense.
So look at him running for a thousand yards. Great
an eleven hundred yards passing. But what we didn't realize
was that's what you were really getting at, was that
it was going to be a fight to get to
the thousand yards passing. But look, it's going to be
a fight for Fields to get to one hundred yards

(02:17):
pass every week. Is a fight that should always be
the over under for Justin Fields yards passing in one hundred, yeah,
one hundred to put it in perspective.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Right now as we sit here, it's nine minutes left
here in the third quarter, Patriots on the march trying
to add to that seven point lead.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
The Jets have one hundred and twenty two yards of
offense total. Now, we've had a couple of really bad penalties.
That intentional grounding call to where he threw it to
an open space of about fifty yards sideline to sideline,
that was that was great, But again, seventy two yards
on the opening drive. Fifty yeah, fifth, Mike, it's actually

(02:56):
minus one two.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Oh did I miss that? It wasn't in parentheses, so
I wasn't. I missed the notation. And now, so that's
the offensive side of the ball for the Jets. Defensively,
they are gonna send Drake May to the Hall of
Fame after this game. I believe he's got two incomplete passes.
One should have been picked off. Every single play is

(03:20):
wide open. There's not a lot of plays where he's
got to throw the ball in tight windows. And yes,
it's gonna be tonight. I can feel the narrative of, oh,
of course he's the MVP. Look at what he did tonight.
The Jets defense stinks.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Eighteen to twenty two here on the second in goal.
It's absolutely terrible. They can't cover Mac Collins, they can't
cover Pop Douglas, they can't cover Stefan Dicks, they can't
cover Hunter, they can't you Daddy Diggs, they can't. There's
a lot of jokes there. There's a lot of joke ahead. Okay,
they can't cover anybody. All Drake May have to do

(03:52):
is buy time and someone is open. The Jets can't
get to him. He just throws a touchdown past the
Trevion Henderson after I said exactly what he does. I'm
gonna buy time and someone's gonna eventually break wide open
like it is. This is this is one of those
college stat games where where Texas plays Miami of Ohio.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
You could just take one of those SNC games that's
coming up, what is it next week?

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Or they play all the directionals. Yeah, and secondary schools.
It's it's it's them, it's them playing it's Texas playing
Georgia Southern. And Arch Manning has said, well, this is
going to be three hundred yards and four touchdowns in
the first half. Like it's it's a stat game. With
what Drake May and what the Patriots offense is doing
right now. None of these games, none of these weapons
they have are are really good. None of them are.

(04:37):
But the Jets again, they can't stay when these guys
are Jag wide receivers. They're all just Jags and they're
all wide open. It's the easiest game Drake May has
had in his NFL career, and it's just going to
continue to get easier. At twenty one seven now early
still early, unfortunately for the Jets. For Garrett Wilson, as
many as I have tonight, he's got as many as

(04:58):
you and your leading receiver the Jets two catches twelve
yards for Mason Taylor. Yeah, but rowing back to the
Drake man, mean, do you take some consolation that you've
at least hit him a couple of times?

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yay?

Speaker 5 (05:11):
Yay?

Speaker 1 (05:12):
And how many turnovers have you guys forced out.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Of the year?

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Is it one? You watch the play at the end
of the first half where May throws his worst pass
of the game and the Jets should pick it off
with the goal line, except two players run into each
other and the ball falls incomplete. You wonder why week
eleven the Jets still don't have an interception, which doesn't
seem like it should be mathematically possible. But they have
one turnover all year and one one fumble recovery, zero

(05:39):
interceptions week eleven, not one Hail Mary at the end
of the half. That what no zero And they've and
they've not They've played some quarterbacks man that they say, hey,
take the football from me, Man, take the football. Not
one takeaway defensively via the air for the Jets this year,
not one.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Truly impressive though, to go that far and have one turnover,
cause the next you got three teams that have only
actually generated six. If we have six, maybe we're five hundred. Washington,
the Giants, the Packers have only generated six.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Journey. I can't imagine what life is like for a
team that's generates six turnovers. Bears lead the league with twenty.
It must feel like you get one every other players
have six. No, but that's the one. I mean, the
Bears with their twenty, it's like there it is, it's
Lovey Smith, it's that Super Bowl run with Rex Grossman
all those years ago. But watching the Jets, I mean,
I don't know how many times I've ever seen a

(06:31):
defensive play where a bunch of flags come out. It's
like illegal contact on three different guys. Yah, yeah, yeah,
well yeah, the hell do you do that? And he
did it, and he did it, he and the ball
was still complete. We declined the penalty. It's twenty one seven.
And because I'll give you a big take coming up here,
twenty one seven the game, Well, no it's not big,
that's obvious kind of big. Got captains after that one

(06:54):
with A with a with a fourteenth point deficit and
the lack of ways the Jets can the football. This
game is over. Okay. Now for the Patriots, like I said,
it's a stat game, it's a pr game for them,
it's a it's a it's a game they play where
afterwards everybody pats them on the back and they say, hey,
tie for the best record in football. Now you know,
only two losses in the AFC. Look where you are,

(07:17):
Look how good you are, Look how good Drake may is.
Traveon Henderson's becoming a star. Three touchdowns tonight, Mike Rabel,
we do I do have some legit stuff on Mike Grabel. Well,
we just got to see him catching passes against the
Jets from two thousand and five. But this is a
pr game for the Patriots where hey, afterwards, everybody can
talk and talk about how great we are.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Sure a standalone game against the Jets division where sometimes
weird things happen. It's like he had that opening drive. Yeah,
for a moment, I got excitable.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
It's like it's like when it when a college team
has their their yearly scrimmage and no matter what, it's
a celebration of the team. Like that's what tonight is.
It's a celebration Patriots. We're good now. But here's the
other point. Ye okay, okay, Now, the flip side of
it is this, And I've said this because the job
has been too much for Aaron Glenn. And I've said
from the beginning he's in over his head with this.

(08:06):
And I'll go back to the beginning of the year
where he doesn't throw the ball for Hail Mary's and
have the ball at midfield at at the end of
the half. His game management decision questionable at best. Dancing
on the sideline when you score a touchdown when there's
still two minutes left in the game, like the game's
not over. That's bad stuff, right. That tells me, hey,
Aaron Glenn really doesn't get what it needs to be

(08:26):
a head coach. But give him some time, right, give
them time to get through. Here's the Jets at Week eleven.
Outside of special teams, which the Jets special teams are
actually really good, top three unit in the league. There
is nothing that Aaron Glenn has presided over that has
made the Jets better since he took over. The offense
is terrible. The decision making in bringing in Justin Fields

(08:49):
for this offense has been terrible. When you have games
where you repeatedly can't even get to two hundred yards total,
that's a disaster. This was a top five defense coming
into the year. They have playmakers on that team, whether
it was Quentin Williams before he got traded, Saus Garter
before he got traded, Will McDonald, Jermaine Johnson, like, they
had some dudes on that defensive line. And Aaron Glenn
is a defensive coach, and the Jets defense is awful, right.

(09:11):
They can't stop anybody, and they got to the point
where we're gonna trade away our best defensive players. So
I've told you from the beginning, Aaron Glenn is gonna
be one and done with the Jets now. When we
get to the deadline, it seemed like Aaron Glenn had
the backing of Woody Johnson. But I'm gonna sit here
and say, yeah, I think at the end of the
season when you're picking really high and you need a quarterback,
and he did, offensive coach, go get Lincoln Riley, buy

(09:33):
him out. And he did offensive coach because you're gonna
have Nana Mendoza, or you're gonna have Dante Moore or
somebody else. You need somebody that's gonna be able to
take the Jets into the next era of football and
not this ridiculous nineteen forties offense that you've been seeing,
where it's gonna run the football every single play. Aaron
Glenn should be replaced after this season because the job
is too much for him, but mainly because going forward,

(09:56):
everything he has touched has been bad, and not that
I expected all of a sudd and he's gonna come
in and work wonders. But we've seen where good coaches
come in and the team doesn't get worse before it
gets better. Those days of hey, we really got to
take it all down to the studs before you get better,
those days are gone, man, Those days are gone. Now
we're expected, Oh hey, we're gonna start winning so many games,
but be a little bit more competitive, not blow leads,

(10:17):
be able to have an offense that that looks like
it's it's a modern day type offense. Nothing nothing they
have done. Nothing he has done, he has put his
fingerprints on, has improved the team at all. And now
with all these draft picks and all these picks, and
you got to get better offensively. You need a quarterback, right,
you need that offensive mind to come in and run things.

(10:38):
You need a Ben Johnson or like I keep saying,
Lincoln Riley, because Woody Johnson, spend some of that money,
get him out. USC will be happy to let him go.
Like that's the next thing. That's exactly what they need.
And I know it's hard in the NFL to say,
well the guys want and done. Yeah, Aaron Glenn supposed
to be a culture center. What are we still seeing?
Bad penalties? First driver of the for the Patriots, the

(11:00):
Jets force him into a third and two. What happens
on sportsman like conduct penalty gives the Patriots a first down.
Fifteen yard penalties the Jets still commit. They're still one
of the most penalized teams in the NFL, they still
commit bad penalties. He's not been able to get through
with that. This is a this is a team that
I don't know what they're trying to be other than
we're playing out the schedule. And can I trust that

(11:22):
Aaron Glenn is the guy that's that's that's there to
take the Jets and actually make them good again. It's
been fifteen years a suckage, right, it's been at fifteen
years and no playoffs. I don't have any confidence that
going into next year, in the next two years, with
all these draft picks and all these big offensive decision
decisions to make, that Aaron Glenn is going to make
the right ones. Like this guy came in and he
decided we're going to run an offense that I mean,

(11:45):
not even an eighties offense like a nineteen sixties.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Look, if you at least ran the triple option, like
you're Jamel holl Away getting after it.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
They got a.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
First down on the option earlier they didn't know, But
that's what I mean, Like, if you want to go
to that and that's the way you think you can
get Breeze hall On tracked and actually useful in your offense.
That's great, But he's meeting three guys in the backfield
every time they hand the ball off to him. I mean,
the fact that he's up around fifty total yards on
the night is a miracle based on the way this

(12:14):
offense has been set. Now, you got a couple of completions,
a couple of scrambles as they're moving the ball here
late in the third, but you know, it's long protracted drives.
There's no explosive plays, which gets into the penalties. Now,
you'll be happy to know that as of now, you
rank outside of the top ten in pre snat penalties.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
So that's good. Every team should be outside the top
ten in pre snat penal. Every team's pre snat penalty
should be very very low. And just hey, someone has
to get him. But hey, pre snat penalties, Yeah, no,
there's a couple that are really off the charts. The
Giants have thirty three of those this year. And wait,
remind me, because I forget mine on my computer in
front of me. What happened to the Giants head coach?

(12:53):
Oh he got fired? Oh right, right, okay, he evidently
tried to depose the guy that's now in charge because
of tight end drop the pass. I'm sure a third
down completion that would have been a first down, but
for your Jets. Yeah, I mean he was supposed to
set a culture. Did you see any of that change?
I love the dance Like all he was doing was
channeling Ted last. So remember when they were gonna get
saved from relegation? Oh yeah, yeah, right when they tied

(13:14):
it up and they're all dancing and made the past
and then his dad went nuts on him. You know,
little you know, you know if you haven't watched that
by now, you know you know the one difference with
that once very one small different, one small difference. Yeah. Uh,
that's a TV show. That's a that's a fictional show
that you can write the ending for. This is real life.

(13:35):
That's a fictional I can make.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
I'm going to go out and a limb and say
that I could have written the ending for this one
weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Now wait, now, Frostburg, you have the solution to my
because if you have solutions Jets related, brother, because I
need that. Man, what do you got? So outside of jumping? Okay,
you should refer to all JETS related questions from here
on out with ask Rich. That's sure, there you go.
I bet Rich has the answers. Yeah. And just as
we say that that wow ad Nin Mitchell. Oh no,

(14:04):
John John Mitchell wide open in the ends it shutdown. Well,
he just carved him up, just like that. Wow. Justin
Fields buys some time in the pocket and throws the
longest pass of his career. I think it was twenty
eight yards. This is a big touchdown for the Jets
to get back in this game. Look at this.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
See put Mitchell across the face of the defense. Defensive
back falls down.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Look at that. All this stuff about how bad he
trips it and falls now he'll get he'll wear it
in film. Look at this, Danny Trejo everybody Jets plus
fourteen twenty one fourteen now late in the third quarter. See,
I say someone must be on the sideline listening to us, going, hey, Jase, Jason,

(14:51):
he's just killing you man. You gotta do something. He's
up to seventy seven pass, he could get to one hundred.
He could get there almost there. I will keep you
up there on a suddenly close game on Thursday night football,
I mean for now, I mean Drake Maje is gonna
go five for five to the next drive and then
it's gonna be twenty eight four. Come on, where's the positivity?
But coming up next, the AL and NL MVP Awards

(15:13):
were announced. Did the right guys win? We surprise you
with our take. Coming up next, Jason to Mike Fox

Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best

of the third quarter. The Patriots lead the Jets twenty
one fourteen. Patriots have the football are driving. Before we
get to the nl n AL MVP votes, we have

(16:26):

(16:48):

the play of the day.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
Third down six, extra pressure feels slides away throwing wide
open touchdown to John Metchi.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Alx Machete oh Al Michaels Amazon Prime on the call,
and he seems just so disappointed. I just I just
picture Al calling this game, like sitting back with his
feet up on the table and he's on his phone
playing Solitaire, like maybe, hey, hey everybody, Hey everybody, Hey,
I got this new app. Hey, Kirk, check out this
new app I got. Man, you should go play it,

(17:30):
and he's just kind of one eye on the game
and one eye on Solitaire. Fields back buying some time
throws whoa guys, wide open. It's John Metchi. It's a touchdown,
all right, and spider Solitaire? Yeah, now extra point pending
twenty one thirteen. Kirk, you go ahead, you say something

(17:50):
about this game now, the fact that he sounded half asleep.
But it was shocked, right, I would have expected a
bigger excitation, Oh, my god. And didn't mention that Woodson
fell down. He was wide open because dude tripped and
fell and he slid into the zone and he's looking
around Metchi as to the hell that defender go oh,

(18:12):
he's still picking himself up. So he's gonna wear Woodson's
gonna wear that. In film review, man, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
You might have needed some different cleats there, Pal, You
gave up a touchdown.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
To the Jets. You let the Jets score?

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Man?

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Does he get a.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Game ball for giving up a passing touchdown to Justin Fields?

Speaker 1 (18:29):
My god? So again a little bit of a shocker
that it's this close in the fourth quarter. But again,
Patriots have the football, they're driving and I have I
can't believe the Jets defense is going to actually stop
them plus thirteen and a half. Come on, he's live.
You just had to you just had to play where
Uh one of the Jets DB's and looks it's it's

(18:50):
the kid that's starting now because they traded Sauce Gardner.
Uh Pop. Douglas catches a pass and he slides down
and he doesn't touch him on the way down, so
he gets up and he runs for an extra ten yards. Like,
come on, man, this is elemental football. Man, you gotta
tell you gotta make sure you touch a guy.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
He's thinking back to elemental I mean elementary football where
you didn't have to touch the guy you get he's down,
he's down, he's down.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
It's okay that touch him. Uh So again, Drake may
having a Hall of Fame. Now, he's gonna finish tonight
like thirty five for thirty nine, for like three hundred yards,
and it's gonna be the easy This is the easiest
game he's ever had. Yeah, it's a he's playing pitch
and catch out there.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Man.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I can't believe just how was it only twenty one points?
How's only time? I mean that that's I can't believe
it's still this close, Like, how do you only have
twenty one point?

Speaker 3 (19:36):
It is the Treyvon Henderson game, so you got that
going for you. Forty seven and two on the ground,
added four catches twenty nine yards in a score. But
for Drake May he's up to twenty three of twenty
eight two fifty seven. Uh and that touchdown to Henderson.
It's just been easy all night play. Action has been
a solid You guys haven't gotten a couple of hits
on him, so he will feel it this game.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
So we'll keep you updated. Exit. How about a fresh exit?
Swallen Dome, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon again twenty one to
fourteen early in the fourth quarter. But today we had
the AL and NL MVP votes results announced show Hey
Otani is your unanimous winner in the National League and
an extremely close vote. Aaron Judge beats cal Rally for

(20:19):
MVP in the American League back to back now for
Aaron Judge and all of a sudden, big questions controversy,
did the right guys win? Did show Hey really prove
enough to be unanimous MVP? Did cal Rally get absolutely
screwed in this vote? And I'll be honest with you,

(20:39):
We're all gonna surprise you. I was fine with the
outcome both ways. I was fine. Kyle Schwarber. We talked
about this in August when when Schwarber was absolutely red hot. Yeah,
was Schwarber the MVP at that point? Sure? But Otani
comes back to start pitching and he's got a one
point one war as a pitch, which you know he

(21:01):
only had, you know, fourteen thirteen or fourteen appearances, still
had the same kind of year he had at the plate.
You can talk about Otani's advanced metrics and in batting
average and war, but Schwarber had thirty more RBIs, which
is a thing. But I really I can't argue with that.
I can't argue with Otani over Schwarber the way this

(21:21):
season ended, the way the season ended for Otani, Right,
I can't argue it what you had the pitching side
of it, all right, because that all counts. It's not
you know, one or the other. I mean, you get
both and you go back to September slash October Schwarber
hit two oh fourth. Yeah, I mean, it's not like
all of a sudden you look at all these different
advanced metrics all these different stats and numbers and achievements

(21:42):
and say, well, this guy, you know, Kyle Schwarber over
this now was Kyle Schwarber. Could you argue his value
to the Phillies this year? For Otani to the Dodgers. Absolutely,
because this what Bryce Harper is just a good player. Now,
he's good. We told you this way before Phillies GM
decided to say, I like what that Jason Smith said
about Bryce Harper just being good. And I'm saying Bryce

(22:03):
is good because Bryce is a good player. They're not
division winners, They're not run away with the NL East
unless Kyle Schwarber has that kind of season. Right, So
I mean, yeah, you can argue, you know, the value
of that is a really big deal. But overall, for
Otani and what he did, I have no problem.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Like the pitching stuff down the stretch, here's this September three, twelve,
ten home run, seventeen RBI and he scored twenty two runs. Yeah,
I mean, and this is a Dodgers team. And again,
if it had played descript it would have been far
more interesting, right because the Dodgers supposed to win.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
What was there over under one oh four and a
half or some nonsense like that. So if they're running
away and hiding and they're not playing meaningful games in September,
then we have all completely different discussion. But they needed
every bit of what shoey Otani did to get to
the finish line. And I am a big proponent of
if you finish in September like that, okay, that will

(22:56):
be something that that pushes you over the top, because
it matters how you fit, it matters how your team,
doesn't matter what you lead your team to now and
you get to the American League. Much more of a
debate cal Rally with a season that we have never
seen before in the history of baseball by a catcher, right,
you could, I mean really, but the same type of
situation exists. You can debate the merits of cal Rally

(23:19):
versus Aaron Judge and look at the numbers and say, well,
Judge has him in batting average and ops and all
the cal Right, but Colrally had sixty home runs and
the catcher's never done this and he plays defense. I
get why it's that close, I really I get why
it's that close. And you can't you can't sit back,
and I see a lot of stuff on social media
already of cal Rally had the Mariners within eight outs

(23:40):
of the world sit na, it doesn't doesn't. That doesn't count.
On that doesn't count. It was close, Judge winning. I
can't really, I can't sit back and say, Okay, col
Rally was robbed. Cal Rally was Oh my goodness, Like,
it's not like Aaron Judge had a year where he had,
you know, forty home run and knocked in one hundred

(24:01):
runs and hit two seventy and boy, because he plays
for the Yankees, he gets the MVP. I mean he
had I mean, he had a lot of He had
a lot of numbers that were way better than cal Rally's.
But Rally was new, it was fresh. He led the
Mariners got to the playoffs. They had not been there,
they not won the division in so long. It was
a big storyline, right, So we had the storyline of
cal Rally and we had the excellence of Aaron Judge.

(24:23):
So I can't really say that, Okay, cal Rally got
screwed on this. It was close, right, It was close,
and you could have seen it going one way or
the other. But the other thing, the most important thing
about the MVP vote is this now, And we said
this midway part of this year, when it looked like
Aaron Judge was on the run to another possible MVP.

(24:43):
Is that this is a guy's thirty three now and
he's still playing at this kind of level. Right, these
back to back years, his third MVP award, Right, that's
the most in Yankee history. When he finishes his Yankee career,
he is going to go down as one of the
top five Yankees to ever put on that uniform. And now,

(25:04):
when you say something like that, you're talking about the
Rays or the Mets, or the Pirates or the Angels. Okay,
that's not really a doesn't have as much heft. But
when you think about top five Yankees of all time
and the players that are on this list that he
is gonna jump ahead of, right, I mean this list

(25:25):
is Ruth and Gerrig and Mantle and DiMaggio and Bera
and Jeter right and now and Maris right, they've retired
twenty two numbers. Yes, that's a laundry list of guys.
Aaron Judge is not only gonna be top five, He's
gonna be safely in the top five. It's not where
Oh I'll give him the number five spot, but he's

(25:47):
gonna be in there over DiMaggio. He'll be in there
over Mantle like it's gonna be are the top three
Yankees of all time? Jeter? Because of how they were
able to win the career? Is it really Ruth g
and Judge?

Speaker 4 (26:01):
Like?

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Is that really the Yankee tough that might wind up
being the best three Yankees we have ever seen to
put on a uniform in a in a history that
has better history than any other team in any sport.
This is what the Yankees have You think about? All
these even players I never saw again ever saw lu
Gerrerig play, but you see, you see what he was
able to accomplish it, and and and hitting all the

(26:21):
home runs and all the RBIs he had when Babe
Ruth cleared the bases before him millions of times. You know, Okay,
all these all these all these two out nobody on
at bats at lu Gary gad and still able to
knock in one hundred and fifty runs a year Like
this is the level that Aaron Judge is gonna be at.
Like he's gonna blow past lu Garry, He's gonna blow
past Demaggio. That's how good a career. That's how big

(26:42):
Aaron Judge has become, how great a career that he has.
And he still has probably three or four more years
to rake like this. I expect him to. When he
hits thirty six, thirty seven, he'll slow down. Eventually, he'll
move to a full time designated hitter position. Defensively, but
he moved from centerfield to right field. That helped him
because really, can you go back to centerfield after you

(27:04):
dropped the ball the world something to that. Yeah, So
he's got about three or four four years to put
up numbers like this, maybe another MVP or two, and
I mean he's gonna be safely in the top five.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
I mean, you're looking at a guy right now, Rookie
of the Year, going back to twenty seventeen, finished second
in MVP voting that year. In his career, he's already
got five top five mb HE voting campaigns, including three wins.
You're looking at three hundred and sixty eight home runs,
eight hundred and thirty RBI, the walk totals, the ops

(27:37):
is just off the charts. And that was the thing,
right when you start going through what was his war
was nine point seven or something ridiculous like that. You
go through the numbers and try to put him into
that historical space, right, because comparing eras is always a
difficult proposition. But we talk about that storied franchise and

(27:59):
all those retired numbers, monument Park, uh and the names
that you and I when we were growing up, all
of their numbers, h and accomplishments were the the stuff
of such a legend that they were committed to memory.
And you go on down. You didn't even mention Mariano Rivera.
You're just looking at hitting wise like you still have
before you got, you got.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
You got a few of those guys that are hanging
out here that aren't even part of the consideration. But
Joe Dimagio and what he meant to the game, and
he was mister Coffee and had Marilyn Monroe, so it's
always gonna be tough to dock him out of the
top five.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Well, I don't know. I think you know, okay, so Joe,
d Marilyn Monroe, Derek Jeter, and Jetersburg. I think, well,
no, no no, But I wasn't arguing those guys. But I
wasn't arguing those no, no, no, that was one of the
greatest tag teams in the history of man. I mean,
come on, get Joe Man. That's starting nine that Jeter
had before Hannah Davis centered Hi Hannah. There could be
come on, there could be like some sort of AI

(28:55):
to pitch like we saw like who is it? We
saw mister Rogers getting escorted to the wrestling by Marilyn
Monroe when when he's resting Bob Rosco, it's a beautiful day.
You have to kick your ass. You I want to
paint the canvas with your blood. You could have an
AI of Joe d a young Joe d walking in
with Marilyn Monroe on his arm, and Jeter walks in

(29:18):
with Scarlett Johansson and Jordana Brewster, and you're like, oh, okay,
I get it now. No, no, it's a it's a
whole other world. But that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Like that's where Aaron Judges, He's cracking through the greatness
on and off the field of these other members of
Yankee Lore. Exit out about a Fresco exit swollen down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend, my carbon.
Think about that for Aaron Judge, It'll blow your mind
time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports from Mancia Belanjos is gonna blow your

(29:48):
mind with an incredible stat about Justin Field's and the Jets.

Speaker 6 (29:53):
Am I making this up?

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Don't.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
You're just gonna make something up.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
Oh, just make it because you said a great staut
about Justine Field, so I gotta make it up.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Ye Oh, all right.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
He is twenty four of twenty nine for two hundred
and fifty nine yards on a touchdown. Just kidding. That's
Drake May.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
That's Drake May. He's out of sixteen. What's passing grade?

Speaker 6 (30:11):
Sure, eleven of eighteen, I think is my neest update. Yeah,
eleven of it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but say this is solid.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
It's solid.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Okay. He's eleven out of eighteen for eighteen yards for Yeah,
I'm seventy five to touch a touchdown.

Speaker 6 (30:26):
He's got a touchdown, he's got touchdown in the air,
He's rushed for a touchdown. He has had his hands
all over the scoring for New York. You know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
It's a good fantasy day. It is a fantasy day.
Forty seven rushing yards.

Speaker 6 (30:39):
Come on, now, it is a very good fantasy day
for Trevion Henderson. I'm playing against Ryan bersching Er, so
I'm not a happy camper right now. But the Patriots
do have a twenty four to fourteen lead over the
Jets with about nine minutes to go in the game.
Anything is possible, But right now the Jets are covering.
Weren't they underdogs by all?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
For now, for now, for now, for no Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Other NFL news, guys, Texans have rolled out CJ strad
for a week eleven because of his concussion, so Davis
Mills is going to get the start against the Titans.
Joe Flacco was limited and practiced with his shoulder injury
for the Bengals. The Jets have placed wide receiver Garrett
Wilson on IR because of a knee injury, and if
forty nine Ers quarterback Brock Party is actually going to
start Week eleven against the Cardinals. He hasn't played since

(31:25):
Week four because of that Tote injury. You guys were
just talking about show Heyo Tawny Aaron Judge winning the
MVP's consecutive MVPs for both of them. Also, Cal Rawley
is going to be the new catcher for Team USA
in the World Baseball Classic. Pete Crow Armstrong, along with
Corby and Carrol are going to join the outfield. When
it comes to the NBA, there are only three games today,

(31:45):
two going on right now. The Oh, the Jaw, the
Jazz and the Hawks were not a close game, but
now it is. Atlanta is up eighty nine to eighty
five halfway through the third quarter. Suns over the Pacers
seventy seven to sixty three, also halfway through the third,
while the Raptors defeated the Cavaliers one twin six to
one thirteen. When it comes to the NHL, the Sabers
and the Avalanche are tied at three late in the

(32:06):
second period, Flames over the Sharks one zero after two periods.
Islanders up on the Golden Knights one zero late in
the first period. Jets and Kraken tied at one late
in the first period.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Well, that's good because I thought the Jets in hockey
would have more points in the Jets in football tonight,
and clearly we're gonna win that battle. That's good. They're
looking up, yeah, and I feel really good. I feel
like good about.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
That things are looking at Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Hey, I always look on the bright side.

Speaker 6 (32:31):
I always look on the right side.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Exactly what was that?

Speaker 1 (32:35):
It was that the bright always they kept playing over
and over.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
That body python and as good as it gets, it
was covered by Art Garfunkel.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Okay, all right, fast, I gotta tell you something. Just
you don't know this, but I'll tell you this because
I'm true. When my dad was in his thirties, he
looked just like Art garfuone. Oh yeah, the same exact hair,
must at like. My dad looked just like now my
dad kind of looks like Michael Caine, but he looked
just like Art Garfunkel in his mid thirties. Yeah, we just.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Celebrated the eighty fourth birthday of our garfunk.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Is your dad.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
And how to look up what this man looked like.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
It's very specific.

Speaker 6 (33:14):
It is very specific.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off. That's
my dad looked like Matt's. My dad looked like Moncie.
There you go, my dad. He was a looker. Here's
a looker, all right, dad, Art Garfunkel. Clearly I could
have gone with some sounds of silence in our house
growing up. Uh So we got more NFL on the way. Plus,
how about me solving the biggest problem for a big

(33:38):
time baseball award winner. This week, I could solve the
biggest problem, biggest problem. Biggest problem, I can solve it
right now. He beez already in jail. Oh okay, second
biggest problem, I can solve it. It's coming up next
right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
You know, sometimes, hey, five minutes can really change your
perspective on things. Ask Rich, that's true, Ask Rich. Jets
have the football down twenty four to fourteen, and look
the thing is well, well more on this part of it.
But I feel like the Jets play a football, play

(34:24):
football to just build character. I feel like that's that's
Aaron Glenn. Like are we really trying to win games?
Or are we trying to build character? I feel like
that that's Aaron again, which is why Aaron Glenn should
be one and done. But this last play I've gone
from Okay, justin feel's gonna be the quarterback the rest
of the season. And as bad as it is, it's
you know, it's this is what it is. A low

(34:46):
snap to him in the shotgun. Now it's a bad snap, right,
It's terrible. It's a bad snap. It it's an ankle.
But he gets his hands on it, and the ball
is never more than a foot from Justin Fields, never
more than a foot from him at any time on
that play, and still he can't fall on it and

(35:06):
the Patriots recovering. He can't new fumble like he he
kept trying to pick it up and run with her
due without underneath. I'm just gonna try to like I'm
gonna bend over without using my legs or I'm gonna.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Kind of reach and if I can get it, great,
If not, I'm not putting myself in harms.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Well, look, I don't know. I think he wanted to
try to pick it up and still make a play.
I want to pick it up and still throw, but
like the ball is not more than it's not more
for I am okay not seeing him play again another
down the rest of the year. I really, I am
okay with him sitting on the bench behind to Rod
Taylor or at this play Brady Cook Right, everybody loved
him in training camp. I am okay not seeing Justin

(35:44):
Fields play another snap this season. But like it's it's
a play inside your own what ten yard line? Fall
on the ball? Instead, Now it's look, it looks like
they're gonna survive. Here, it's fourth and seven. Defense rises up,
they chase and flush May out of the pocket on
second down. On third down, tries to go to the

(36:05):
end zone. You get a tip ball at the line,
so it falls harmlessly and complete. So it's gonna be
a field goal try. But how do you not just
just put your body on the on the ground, get
the ball and preserve the possession. Instead, it's a half
ass effort and you set them up point blank range.
Like just indicative of everything we've seen from the Jets emblematic.

(36:30):
I really effort all year long. I don't understand that
that lack of effort, that lack of awareness of falling
on the foot Jets, I do understand how many times,
I know a thousand times. It's leer than that. It's
like I'm stuck in the cave of wonders. I've seen
it a thousand times, oh a thousand times, waiting for
someone to let you out. I let you out of

(36:52):
that hell. I really ten thousand years. I am all
for him, not playing another snap all season. I really
am I I can't tell. I'm show me Trod Taylor,
give me Brady Cook, whatever you want to do with Joe.
It's funny.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
We go back to last night, we were talking about
the game and previewly and we can only do so
much for the Jets side because Aaron Glenn was being
cagey about who was gonna be the quarterback. I was
looking at the betting futures and there was actually no
prop odds for either quarterback because he hadn't announced whether
it was gonna be Taylor or Fields under center. And
while we've watched what we've watched eleven of eighteen seventy

(37:27):
five and a score of the loss fumble forty seven
yards rushing that first that first possession ought to go
in the loof, Like that's the greatest possession you've had
this for the Jets in a very long time.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
If someone says someone will steal it, but what's the
difference between someone had being playing great and having a
great Fantasy day. That's this game. We pointed this game
right here, that this right here, he's terrible, but fantasy's
giving us the point like he's gonna finish Top ten
Fantasy off of this game. So I have more football
coming up in a few minutes, but I like to

(37:59):
solve problem. And today's been you know, the end of
the big week in Major League Baseball where they're awarded
everybody all the big postseason awards up. We talked about
Otani and Judge and the high level that Judge is
at after winning this MVP. But today Paul Skins came
out and said, wait a minute, Wait a minute, these
reports that I've talked to the Pirates about wanting to
be traded to the Yankees, that's completely false. I'm here,

(38:21):
I'm focused on here, I want to win. Here, said
all the right things right now. Yesterday I said, Pirates, squad,
spend some money, go bring a couple of guys in
so you're not wasting the next three and a half
years of that. You have Paul Skins under control, right,
But here's where I solve the problem, and I make
it even bigger, and I'd pull them off the I'm sorry,
sorry Dodger, Sorry Yankees. I'm pulling them off the board.

(38:41):
If the Pirates were smart, they willed Ronald Acunya him
right now. They would say Okay, you're not hitting free
agency for a while. You made eight hundred thousand dollars
this year. Okay, right now, we're going to give you
a seven year, one hundred million dollar contract. So is

(39:02):
that a lot of money for god like Paul Skins. No,
you think Paul Skean's a free agent, but he's not
gonna get there till twenty twenty. What if something happens
to his arm, what if he can't throw?

Speaker 4 (39:10):
What?

Speaker 1 (39:10):
You don't know. But if I say right now, we're
gonna pay more money than we have to for the
next few years. But if we have seven years and
one hundred million dollars, does he say no? And then
you have Paul Skeen's cheap. He's still paying him a
ton of money. He's got, he's gonna get paid. You
have him great for the next seven years, and you
can build around him like the Braves. It's a really

(39:31):
smart thing that they can't do with everybody, because you're
seeing now the Braves made bad decisions. Every guy that
came up for the two months and hit three fifty. Here,
we'll give you this money early, but they took the shit.
Ronal Lacuna, Okay, he gives an MVP type player. We're
gonna pay you early. We're gonna pay you a little
bit more than you need now, but it's gonna turn
up for us. Well, if the Pirates did that, that
would be the smartest thing they could do.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
No, it's a great model in theory. I mean, the
White Sox tried it and they rolled snake eyes on
every guy except for Lewis Robert Junior, who ocasionally plays
like a guy worth the money they gave. Otherwise, mancata
him and is go on down the line.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
It failed. Like you say, with the Braves, you got
a couple of guys where it's been fantastic. Even with Akunya,
you gotta get him on the field to actually get any.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Value out of that. I like to cut your jib.
I'd say no if I were Paul Skins. But it
gets to start where we still have that gap. Is
you got one hundred and ten million dollars in revenue share,
you only spend eighty four.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
But I'm telling you long way to get that kind
of money, and you get it now. More Baseball, More
TNF Reaction. Next Fox Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith
Show with My Best Friend Mike Harmon it is over
in New England. The Patriots beat the Jets on Thursday
Night Football twenty seven to fourteen. The only downside for

(40:49):
the Patriots tonight obviously that I feel like they could
have scored more points. But like, Perrywinkle is a really
tough color to pull off in it. Yeah, No, it
was tough. It's a really tough I mean, Perrywinkle is very,
very difficult to pull off for a jersey. Like it's
not quite purple, it's not quite blue, depending on what
kind of television you have. It's it almost looks like

(41:10):
is this like an East West shrine type like the
Jewish gray going on? Yeah, Perrywinkle is a really tough,
tough color to pull off. And though I don't yeah,
Perry was a great one. Perry was awesome rhymes with
a lot of different things, not quite to bowl Winkle
stat I'll give you a nickel for some periwinkle, right,
But watching the tight that's the one thing I'm watching

(41:33):
the game going. Man, I'm all for new uniforms and
trying to make something work and you never know and
you hit on something. But man, that's a tough color.
That's a really tough color. Now it's very muted. Just
I had no juice to it. Yeah, yeah, you want
something to helmet. It wasn't quite white, was it like?
It was just almost like it was not I want
to keep adjusting my TV. Yeah, like the Matte Finish,

(41:54):
not the like when you get a picture a matt
fin it looks a little dull. Yeah, it's it's it's
a little fire here. Yeah, it's just look kind of that.
It's kind of muted and kind of and kind of boring.
Pretty boring for a prime time ISO game. Give me
some juice. Not awful, not clearly. I look, the Jets
had better uniform Look, the Jets were in their eighties.
Uniforms is awesome. The green shines. At least they look

(42:15):
good losing. I'm gonna go pull out a stack of
Wesley water.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Uh but yeah, I said that's the one thing for
the Pad that the uniforms were tough. They were not crisp.
No time out, Ahead of the hotline and Welcome inside
NFL on Fox Insider Extraordinary. Jay Glazier is on Twitter
at Jay glazer Jay. Happy Thursday. Man, how's it going
about it? Well? As a Jet fan, I could be

(42:40):
doing better, But however, it's not like this was unexpected
tonight for me.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
So it's okay as a Jets fan, you're doing how
you normally are.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Although you gotta you should have seen him during that
possession in the in the red zone with about two
minutes left. I thought he broke his hand pounding the desk,
Like how does he know.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
That's where you're holding out through? That really epitomizes.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Apply to a get then, Yeah, no, that's that's mine.
That's my life day. That's why it's going on.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
You guys, And I know there're you know, Jets just
made always move for all his first round draft picks
and trying to change the culture. It cannot change, and
lest the owner changes, it cannot change and lest the
owner changes.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
Now he's filed a grievance against the players Association for
bad grades.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
Man, he got so upset. I was out there a
few years ago whatever it was, in camp, and he
did some stuff that I'm not going to repeat, but
it was only it was like to get back at
the players, like, dude, are like fifth fifth grade here
at the like in the playground, like trying to get

(43:45):
back to your bully life. Dude, you're the owner, and
he was so upset by some of the grades he
got that he yeah, he's it's with the cultures everything right,
And you know, you look at some of these other teams, Hey,
Washington under Dan Snyder. The reason why they never won
the Browns. I mean this owner thinking about the first

(44:07):
time they ever won. Would put this owner in was
in covid when nobody was able to be in the
building except for football people. They couldn't have the culture
in there, right, And then obviously would he they don't
run to the him and you know, I thought first
hand that they have told this year. But like Sean
Payton when he went down to the Saints, they had
the work culture. You know, fans are wearing bags on

(44:28):
their heads in it. No, and Seawan Ali really teach
the owner how to be an owner. And then mister
Benson became a phenomenal owner, and Yale was a great owner.
But it's like you have to teach them how to
be great owners and help build football culture and get
out of the way of you know, not jump in.
I told you that told owners as all, but several owners,
like you know, would you hire the best football coaches

(44:50):
in the NFL to run your business. Now, Jay, it's
totally different. Okay, then why do you think you can
make a second round pick?

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Sure? Now, look now the flip side of it, obviously,
this game is we talked about this a few minutes ago. Uh,
Mike Rabel is a coach of the Year in the NFL.
What he's done in this short amount of time, Jay
has absolutely been stunning.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
Yeah, they've done a great job. But you know, even look,
you know and Drake May. When Drake May was coming out,
there are a lot of teams they were nowhere near
sold on him. And you know, I think you're talking
about Mike Rabel being coach of the year, Josh McDaniel's
probably assistant coach of the year is what he's been
able to do with Drake mayis he is certainly in

(45:34):
the running for MVP candidate. And and it's you could
just see the trajectory now. And look, some guys are
not head coaches, but they are amazing coordinators and always
should be in a position like the tangio right for
the Eagles, Josh McDaniels for the Patriots. He is a
phenomenal coordinator and clearly also a quarterback developer. Done a

(45:58):
great job.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
Pretty funny. I would sit next to Smith. We got
into his jetstum uh for his life. He's got Marino
into Brady into now Drake May. So he's he's really
happy as he watches this. But let's stay with the coaching.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Forget Josh Allen, got Josh all Josh Allen's there too,
but you know you didn't get his upset about him.
Drake May and having that Patriot Perry winkle On seemed
to flip you, you know, to a whole other level.
Brian Dable out with the New York Football Giants. Kafka
is going to get the opportunity interim wise. A lot
of stories and fallout coming out of this one.

Speaker 4 (46:33):
Jay, Yeah, you know, listen, this was the reason why
they did this escape from ownership, not from Joe Shane.
It is john Nyram, Steve Tish. It was really all
the the comebacks that other team had in the fourth
quarter and they're just like, man, we just can't keep
doing the same thing. I think the Able knew. I
was texting of them on a playing run after and

(46:56):
you could tell that, you know, he wasn't gonna be
surprised if it happened. But man, it's you know, and
the giants have talked talking about culture too. Giants have
this culture. Remember when he and Joe Shane got hired,
he said, listen, you guys have to be careful with
the owners, meaning the giants have this culture. Were like,
they're waiting for the Scott off all all the time,
and they have this great history. But now it's just

(47:18):
how it's been there in the last you know, decade.
Plus they're just waiting for the Scott of Hall and
you're gonna have to deal with this. Plus you're gonna
have a lot of people who say, you know, who've
done it one way a certain a certain amount of
number of years. You guys do want to come in
and change things, and they're going to go, hey, listen, guys,
you just got it. We've been doing this way for
thirty five years whatever it is. And that was a
big thing too. But yeah, the job, but I'll say

(47:42):
this though, the giants saw says, a terrific job because
you got a quarterbacks, you got to running back, you
had a wide receiver, and you've got culture because of
those guys. Now you suddenly got an attitude right and defense. Man,
You've got some horses on defense. So I think that's
a fantastic job to get. And you know, I don't
think they're gonna. I don't think they would go and

(48:03):
try and experiment with somebody and see if somebody can
pan out. I think they're gonna, you know, look for
more of a The sure thing is the is the worst.
It's never a short thing. But I think you know,
somebody with a little more Skins of the Wolves.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
Jake Glazer, our guest Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from
the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, j's get some
quarterbacks who are coming back, potentially coming back. You had
the big scoop Thanksgiving ish for Joe Burrow. I think
that surprised a lot of people, but hey, that's great
news if it's Thanksgiving is for Joe Burrow.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
By the way, you have that whole conversation between me
and I simbalk. Then he posted to on Instagram, I'm
in a him in a clown outfit. He was a joker.
Oh no, you're telling me with it. You guys know
how far orfin I have a clown? Yes, right, I'm like, bro,
that is awful. Let me just start talking and you know,
I'll kind to tell him about Fernie Ollis and he's like, hey, man,

(48:56):
I'm I think I'm coming back here a lot soon.
And I'm like, what He's like Thanksgiving this, So I'm like,
come on. He's like, yeah, well, just I don't say
anything yet. I didn't say anything last Sunday. And it
is amazing because when he first went out, when you
have a grade three care he tour ligament tendon the
sheet that covers it all. And I know a lot

(49:19):
of doctors involved and having had information and there's a
lot of people about this, they were like, no, there's
no way before the playoffs because of you know, everything
starts on the ground up. But also like that injury,
it's it causes so much pain. Look at pretty much
ended Eddie George's career. Charles Woodson, who had it like

(49:43):
the ninety seven or something, he told me, man, I'm
still not over it, like it still gets them. And
you know, I think, you know, doctors are like, look,
it may feel, but because everything starts on the ground up,
you're always gonna have that pain. But Joe's different and
he's like, I understand it. I'm able to deal with
the pain and come back that fast. And it's interesting
because he has the grade three and here Brock Party

(50:04):
has a Grade one, and it's almost like harder for
Party because grade three at least you know, Okay, we're
gonna cut it, we're gonna do this, assume we're gonna
we know how to handle this. And this is you know,
they gave him a conservative timeline. We're grade one. You
don't do anything to it. He's got to wait for
it to feel better. But as I said, it doesn't
feel better until the offseason. Like you just you can't

(50:25):
get it to feel better because you're never every step
of your life, you're putting pressure on that big dough.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Yeah, that's the great.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
Sorry Jay, Yeah, the Brock the Brock Party injury right
when you say toe injury. And now he comes back.
Mac Jones played some pretty good football. But they're gonna
get Purdy and Ricky Piers all back. It looks like
trying to make some noise there in the crowded NFC West.

Speaker 4 (50:50):
Yeah, but it's the again, it's a big toe. You know.
It's talking of you know, Linc and Kyle about it
also and I'm like, guys, he's gonna feel this way
the whole year. It's like it's never going it's not
gonna be a bitner until the offseason. So it's like,
you know, I think both those guys that that injury
a lot of us, Hey deal with that pain and

(51:11):
how much time you deal with it's it's that's a
hard one. That's a really like the injury doesn't do
a justice. Turf toe does not do it justice. You
should be called most painful injury in football. But Joe
burrow Man, what a gangster come back all these and
he said it depends who we are, you know, in

(51:33):
their in their playoffs for sure, but man, he is
a he's an impressive cat to come back from that
several several months and we're talking months early. This isn't
like he's coming back three weeks early. This is several
months early.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Now, Jay, before you let you go, obviously, this week
Veterans Day, commemorating it. On Tuesday, you had an incredible
post on social media Monday, mental health Motivation Money Day,
courtesy of you and Ronde Barber. Can you tell a
little bit of that story about today today? You post
that Okay, I thought it was Yes, I'm I'm looking
because you know, Twitter, I'm trying to do the show
and talk to you at the same time. You had

(52:11):
an incredible post here that I saw about you and
Ronde Barber and tell us a little about that story.
And I mean, it's just it's just amazing you went
into detail on this.

Speaker 4 (52:19):
You know, the Marshaw Neeland thing. My message and I
you know you were talking to team is like man,
lean into your teammates. Lean into your teammates, and your
teammates don't know to be there for you unless we
open up to them, and they want to be there
for you. So well, before I ever wrote a book
about my depression and anxiety, my mental health issues, way

(52:40):
before I talked about it publicly five years ago, I
was in a dark, bad place and like I would
I would never commit suicide guys, because I'm not going
to do that to my saw and my wife and
you guys. It's the decision I've made, right, It's just
I'm not going to do it. I want to leave

(53:00):
you guys with that pain. But I was so dark
where I was just hoping tomorrow wouldn't come, and I
never talked to anybody in so much detail. I was
going down to Tampa for Super Bowl and Rende Barber,
who's been I've been so close with he and TCUs Flock.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the third Barber. We're that close.

(53:23):
And I have a group down there to friends. He's
friends have been helped fun and Brian Roddegan. I said, guys,
I'm coming down tomorrow. Man, I need to look over
you guys and talk to you guys. And they have
dinner and they were all busy and they said that
we can't. I said, no, I need to meet with
you guys. I am struggling, and all three you're like
seven o'clock. We got you, And that we got you

(53:45):
changed my life. I said, well, like I got you, dude,
I got you. So I was always a trade. Ever
tell anybody And the first time I did it, and
they literally they dropped everything and I got you. The
power of I got you huge, and clearly it's changed
my life because guys able to help me. I then
got the help I needed. I open up to other
people about it and end up writing a book. And

(54:06):
you know, it's just that power of vulnerability. I never
realized how strong it was until then, but those guys
didn't blink. So for everybody out there, I want you
to understand, people want to be there for you. They
want to be a service. But it's on us to
tell you when we're struggling. But it's on you also
to hear us when we say that and lift us
up because trust me, at some point that favor is

(54:28):
going to be returned. But that's what you gotta do, man,
You got to It's the power. I call our teammates,
and these teammates these bonds. Now, they were there for me, right,
but that's the type of bond. Now. I'll be there
from them now, five years, ten years, twenty five years,
forty years, I'll be there for them forever. And that's
what we need to do for each other, especially as
this world gets scary and scarier. Lean into your teammates.
