Speaker 1 (00:31):

(00:51):
tire buying should be. Well, we didn't know we'd have it.
Mike Carmon didn't know we'd open up tonight and go, well,
what's the odd We're gonna have a no hitter? T No,
we had a no hitter in Major League Baseball. This
This pushes Aaron Rodgers conversation for at least another ten minutes.
We got a no hitter in Major League Baseball, and
it was a big, big night. We have a no hitter,

(01:14):
we have your White Sox are winning, probably are beating
the Cubs of the ninth inning, so everything is work.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
We're helping each other out, so everything's coming up for harmon.
Right now you're beating the Cubs. White Socks are beating
the Yankees, so I'm helping you with your old man. Yeah,
and Fabiano and then Aaron Rodgers had a bad day,
so he's all salty and receivers who might be on
the verge of getting cut or talking out of turn.

(01:39):
Bad job by them, Corey Davis. But we'll get to him.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
This is how it goes.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
But before we get to the no hit, I want
to say this because obviously everybody's thoughts and prayers are
with Maui on the Big Island Lehana, the wildfires that
have devastated Hawaii over the course of the past couple
of days, and you know, spending a lot of time
today looking at it. We just were in Lehna, which
we were. We that's where we were over Thanksgiving. We

(02:07):
stayed in Lahna. We we were we went to Front
Street where all the all the markets are, We went
to the Banyan tree, which had stood for hundreds and
hundreds and hundreds of years. And to read today about
how the wildfires have just like Lehna is gone, like
seeing the video all front Street, all the shops, the
the Banyan tree, everything else, just being gone, a place

(02:28):
where we spent our entire vacation, where we were where
everybody spends their vacation. We we were just there seeing
it all and and how vibrant the streets are and
how vibrant, uh, you know, Maui is, and it was
such a an incredible experience in Maui is such a
special place and to see it just gone is was
just incredibly shocking today. And you know, please have prayers.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Up for Maui.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
They're gonna need a lot of our help the big
Island as well as they fight the wildfires, which you
know right now, there's no no real cause for it
other than it could be atmosphere conditions of different kinds.
And we talked about climate change and and and that
could be what it is. It doesn't look like there's
any bit of nefarious activity, but just seeing this, I
mean being right there and just seeing the video that

(03:13):
that just this whole area that was filled with stores
up and down the road. There was this big school,
there was that that was there, and like I said,
the Banyatry had been there for hundreds and hundreds of years.
I got so many pictures of my daughter and one
of her best friends there, and to see it all gone,
it just just makes you stop for a second and
think and and and really, you know, hopefully all our
thoughts are with Hawaii in this time today and tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, It's It's one of those things, is that the
day goes on, right, We're constantly on the internet for
stories and and going through the blogs and getting back
into social media, and just heartbreaking some of the videos
making the rounds news coverage here in southern California for
those across the states and the globe. A bunch of

(03:58):
fires breaking out here. I know, it's been a lot
of talk the last couple of weeks of all right,
they're deploying hundreds of goats here here here to try
to help in the prevention. It's just an unfathomable circumstance,
right because once it begins, the amount of resources it

(04:18):
takes to try to not put it out, but just
to stem the tide is so monumental, So just devastating,
heartbreaking images all day long. So I wish and we will,
we'll work to do more than thoughts and prayers. Are
gonna need a lot of resources and a lot of help.
Governmental agencies already getting involved. All the places that you

(04:41):
donate to each year that give human aid are being
called on already. But it is just a devastating look
and just a reminder, you know that we get so
many times anymore, Jason of you know, be thankful for
what your day has been, because there's so many ways
it can turn.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Well, said that, Jason smithser with Mike Harmon live from
the tirec dot Com Studers. There's already plays you can
places you can help. I know, website, CNN others have
put up hey if you need to, if you can
donate here or donate here. Maybe you want to wait
a little bit and see who needs more money and
who needs you know where you want to go with it,
But there's already places out there that you can find
pretty easy to be able to help.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Again.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
All our thoughts tonight are with MAUI. Tonight Show has
brought you by Discover credit cards. They automatically double all
the cash back you were and that's right at the
end of every year they do it. Everything you wearn't
is doubled. Seriously see terms. Check it out for yourself
at Discover dot com slash match. But our business is sports,
and you know, if you spend a lot of time
today thinking about this, you're ready to be entertained with

(05:44):
other things happening in the world. And we'll get to
the Jets because every everything is still fine. It's fine
with the Jets. Everything is fine. It's all fine. But
a no hitter in Major League Baseball and just his
second start from the Phillies, Michael Lorenzen seven nothing against
the Nationals. This is how it ended.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
The three to two pitch swinging a high five ball
center field coming in his rowhus he's calling, he has
got it.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Lorenzen leaps into the arms of real New Tone and
the Phillies pile out of the knockout in front of
the man. They celebrate a no hitter tonight by Michael Lorenzen.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Phillies Radio Network on the call. One hundred and twenty
four pitches, a career high for Michael Lorenzen to get
his no hitter. He did walk four, so it's not
like he was very close to a perfect game. But
in just his second start, he goes all the way
through the crowd of thirty thousand as you heard erupting.
It only took two hours and nine minutes. This is

(06:45):
what happens when you pitch a no hitter in today's
pace of play. Lorenzo flipping his cap backward after it
was over. A great celebration. And you know, this goes
into my philosophy, Mike, about starting pitching. Right, this is
a perfect time to get into starting pitching someone like
Michael Lorenzen, who was just obtained at the deadline from

(07:06):
the Tigers for minor leaguer. Now, Michael Lorenzen throughout as
he look, he's thirty one years old. He has been
an okay starter throughout his career. Right, He's never been elite.
He has been acceptable. He's had some years whereas where
he's had a bunch of starts and his his ERA
is under is under three or four. He's had some
seasons where you know, not so great. But he was

(07:28):
sought after the deadline here uh era for a really
bad Tigers team of three and a half, so he
was sought after the deadline. This proves my philosophy. What
do you think about think about starting pitching. I kind
of think about it like you think about milk, right,
Like you buy milk and you want to make sure
it says it says best if drank by or expires
on this date, right or.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Or you buy something else that says best if used
by like you buy you buy some kind of lunch
meet and lunch meet and its as best if used
by August second, August fourteenth, whatever it is. Starting pitching.
There should be a label on every starting pitcher that
is that is good, that is desirable, like this is
best if purchased at deadline.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
That's rich.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Would be like if you're thinking of buying big time
starting pitching in February.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Look at what does the science sat starting pitching best
if purchased by deadline? Starting pitching is so dicey, right,
It's so dicey to say, hey, we're gonna build our
team around starting pitching. Right. I've watched my team try
to do that for the last eight years. One year
they hit lightning in a bottle with it in twenty fifteen.
Ever since, while on the starting pitching we have now
the Mets, they've had to jettison everybody, get rid of guys.

(08:38):
It's too much of a dice roll. It's too difficult
because too much can go wrong with starting pitching. With
elite starting pitching, there can be injuries, there could be ineffectiveness,
and you are paying somebody who could have a down
year be unavailable because that's how it goes with pitching.
Pitching is always difficult. You never know when a player
is one throwaway, one pitch away from sitting on the

(08:59):
injured list for the next month, two months. The Dodgers
hold their breath every time Clayton Kershaw comes out to pitch.
He hasn't pitched in a couple of months. Starting pitching
is an absolute dice roll. The best time to go
get starting pitching, go get it at the deadline. I
just want when when I go into the season, I
want my team to have five guys who can give
me a quality start. If you give me, if you

(09:20):
give me five guys or three or four guys that
have eras about four and a half that are about
the league average, that can go six innings and eat innings.
That's what I want. I don't need to have elite
guys because they don't always pitch a leak, you don't
always win. You can have an elite pitcher. He's not
gonna be twenty and seven every year. Sometimes he's gonna
be an elite pitcher. He's gonna be fifteen and fourteen. Well,
that didn't work out well, but he was great. Yeah,

(09:41):
it doesn't matter. He lost fourteen games, you lost the
He won one more game than he was able to lose.
So if you go into the season with hey, we
just have starting pitching. That's gonna give us innings, get
us to our bullpen, and then you are contending, go
rent starting pitching at the deadline. That way you never
have to worry about get involved in starting pitching for

(10:01):
the long term. You never have to worry about injuries.
Hey is this guy. No, this guy, he's healthy. We're
gonna have him for a month and a half or
two months whatever it is man and hopefully the playoffs.
Then we can either sign them or not we can
let them go. That's the best part about getting starting
pitching right, that's where you go get it that's you
go get the elite guys, the guys that are out
there that can make a difference for you. And the
Phillies going to get Michael Lorenzen. You see what he's

(10:22):
done so far and the no hitter just as an
illustration of that. Then here was a move to go
get a starting pitcher at the deadline. This is what
we wanted to do. The Dodgers. What did they tried?
They tried to get a starting pitchers deadline. Edward Rodriguez sys,
I don't want to go well, what do you mean?
I don't want to go there? But they tried. That's
when you obtain starting pitching. If teams followed that philosophy,
they would be much more successful. Anytime I see a

(10:44):
team sign a starting pitcher to a two to three
year deal or long termed years. Here's thirty five million
dollars a year, I go, how long is that deal
gonna be good for? Right? Verlanders deal wasn't even good
for half a seat. Well, but before the Mets said okay,
it's sign for us to move on.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
But that's the thing, right, here's a rare example. I
think when we're talking about all right, rising stars versus
the or I should say, those mid level starters that
are available. All right, he's making a career high of
about eight and a half million this year. This is
coming off of four two, four, eight and six record

(11:19):
season with the Angels last year, So one of those
kind of scratch your head. But hey, the market for
starting pitching is what it is. You mentioned the Botch
deal with the Dodgers, that one. You just wonder how early,
how late all of the talking points and everything that
needed to be checked off did and had gone through,
particularly when it comes to the you know, the Tigers

(11:43):
side of things of you know, and and the agents
of all right, with the no trade clause, what can
we do? Dot dot? But that's all been said and done,
so we move on to here. Right, you're talking about
the guy who doesn't cost you very much for the
stretch run. And let's face it, he wouldn't have gotten
out of the sixth with that pitch count and Dave
Roberts as his manager.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh yeah, for him, he might have been pulled in
the third inning, I don't know, sixth inning that you're
being generous right there.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah, so good for him? Seven seven nothing, the opportunity
even if he'd given up the hit to rest your bullpen.
For me, it hearkens back to a game I pitched
as a in little league. I threw a no hitter
and I had four walks, and you know why, because
I took the two best hitters and just said, the
rest of these guys can't touch me. You can just

(12:29):
go stand on first base.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
I thought you were gonna say, and why did I
walk those guys because my best friend's dad was the
umpire and he didn't like me because I did something
that we do for legitimately.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
It was you guys want to chase a little bit,
I'll let's chase, but I'm not giving you anything to hit.
And so like they're cursing at me as they're walking
down to first base, like you see who's batting behind you.
Like it was about as disrespectful as I've ever been
on a field, Like the rest of these guys ain't
touching it, So let's go.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Do I need to throw these pitches because in the
future we won't have to throw them. I could just
point down to first pace.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Well, I mean, I debated plunkin one of the guys
just on principle, you know, But I did.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Wait, you actually had to because I'm trying to think
back now, I remember a couple of times we'd had
intentional walks in the Little League when I was and
we didn't have to throw the pitches.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Oh I I I was like, all right, I'm not
giving you anything over the plate. Oh oh you want
to swing?

Speaker 4 (13:24):
You just threw an unintentional, intentional walk.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, so all right, if you want to go reach
on something two feet off the plate and dribble it
back to the mound, so I can come and slap
tag you. Uh, I'm happy to do it, but I'm
not giving you anything. Uh in your wheelhouse. But yeah,
it's it's cool to get another no hitter, right, I mean,
we love history. I mean I've heard some lamentation in

(13:48):
the social media, like, ah, now this guy has got
a no hitter. It's like it happens. It's like it's
a rare circumstance. It's still what fewer than three hundred
and fifty in the history of Major League Baseball, And
that's that's a rare occurrence. And yes, maybe we get
a couple in rapid successions, so it seems like they're
more common, but they're not they're not. It's still a

(14:09):
very difficult proposition. And you know, we got to celebrate
those big days when they come through, Especially for a
guy like Lorenzen. You get to prof for your theory
on going and getting starting pitching. At least for one
turn in the rotation, it worked.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Yeah. Look and well look he's won both games.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Since the Phillies have got him, they have vaulted themselves
up even deeper into the postseason conversation. Look, you're talking
about last year's defending nationally champions who who did exactly
what you need to do. Hey, we don't need to
go crazy to win the NL East, right. We watch
teams go crazy to win their divisions, and all it
guarantees them is that, Okay, you don't have to play

(14:46):
in that first round and that first little round. But
that's the way it goes. It's same thing with the NBA.
Oh we want to win, we want to be a
top seeds, we have to play in the playing round.
It turns out the playing round it's not that big
a deal anymore. So the Phillies had done it exactly right. Look,
we don't need to go crazy, you know, if we
need starting Look we'll spend all our money on Trey Turner,
and oh boy, did that turn out to be a mistake.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
But you're chasing it, but you're chasing the braves, and
you recognize what what a fool's errand that would be
to try to get into a spending yes pace. Just
see where you're at and then be judicious.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, And then what did they do? They went and
they bought their starting picture of the deadline and look
where they are. And the Phillies are just fine now
and everything is happy there there. Look the Trey Turner,
who stinks is getting standing ovations in Philadelphia. And Bryce
Harper is saying, I wish I played my whole career here.
And I'm like, this is Philadelphia and everybody loves the city.
They're all the faith. What is happening. This is what

(15:38):
happens when you do things right. I gotta say, when
the Phillies are doing when you do things right, you
do things right.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
They're doing things right.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
But it's a new world order. It's a topsy turvy
world man, cats and dogs.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
The way tire.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Buying should be just a little bit more on on
Hard Knocks before we get in back into college football. Look,
watching the episode last night, it's everything that I told
you it was gonna wind up being. When the Jets
were announced, Aaron Rodgers is going to take up all
the oxygen in the room.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Right.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
What have I been telling you? He wants New York
for his brand. He's wanted this for his brand. He
wants Hard Knocks for his brand. Everything was fine, and
congratulations everybody who you heard that take today in a
lot of places.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
Ali an Era, Yeah, we told you this is why
Rogers chose New York. Right, It's no surprise.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
And you knew he was going to be the big
star as soon as he walked out when he say hey,
the first thing he says is to the guys with
the cameras, Hey, am I good? You need to do
anything like my mic is good?

Speaker 4 (19:51):
I look good? Everything?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
AKA, all right, I'll give you guys some good blank today.
I'll give you guys some good stuff today. Yeah, he's
going to take all this attention on and yes, part
of it good because he's doing it for his teammates.
Because he knows, hey, there's a lot of expectations and
if I take this on my shoulders, because I have
pretty big shoulders, this will help the team. But it's
here for him. This is this is his brand. This

(20:12):
is me launching Aaron Rodgers. Whatever it's gonna be for
me for the next couple of years and then into retirement.
I'm gonna be global. I'm gonna be winning super Bowls.
I'm going to be doing other things outside of sports.
I'm gonna be listened to. And this is here. I
am here for my brand. And that was the extension
of what Hard Knocks Episode one was last night.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Well, but we talked about it all from day one.
It was all about brand and all about image rehabilitation
of a guy who became a hated and polarizing figure
both as a wishy, washy am I going to play,
Am I not quarterback and stringing along his team and
talking well really about everything else outside of football that

(20:57):
became very polarizing in our COVID age. Agreed, disagree. It's
like we talked about with Megan Rapino and the US
women's national team. Didn't have to agree or disagree you
whichever side drawn of anything she had to say along
the process. It just became more about that than socker
after a while, and with Aaron Rodgers it became the

(21:18):
same thing, you know, including not having the stones to
tell his coach to beat it when he's making an
obvious foolish decision about bringing in field goal kickers and stuff.
Gotta be a leader, Rogers, gotta be a leader. That
was on you failures in the playoffs. But now he
goes to the Jets. He's the greatest tourist we've ever seen. Here.

(21:39):
He is on Broadway, here, he is at the Tonys, here,
he is everywhere. He's got a handshake for everybody like
he's known him for years. Did they send each other videos?
All right, see if you can get this down by
by week one of training camp. So that'll look good
on hard knocks. Although the best thing was him all
fan boying over Shreiber. I mean that about it.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
I don't think anybody you know, look live. Schreiber's had
a decent career in Hollywood. Right, he's Ray Donovan, He's sabertooth.
But the way Aaron Rodgers, it's like George Clooney showed
up at Jets camp. Look at this man, like Tom
Cruise came in off the helicopter and he actually jumped
down from thirty feet without using any padding.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
He just leaped off the plane and landed.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
I'd be like, okay, yeah, Live Schreiber, Okay, yeah, I
get it, but boy, like, I don't think anybody is. Finally,
I don't think Live Schreiber's agents in Hollywood fawn over
him as much as Aaron Rodgers fawned over him last night.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
I would say we found out yesterday that Aaron Rodgers
is a one super fan of Hard Knocks, right, I mean,
look the acting career and the different roles you mentioned
Ray Donovan, obviously a huge show, and what I wouldn't
call it a cult favorite. I mean because man, it's

(22:57):
a recent one.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Right.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Normally when we say Colt favorite, it means it's older
and then found an audience. No, it had an audience.
It was a great show. But the Hard Knocks thing
is clearly where Aaron Rodgers love was invested. Even though
he tried to talk about his acting career like no
that I it's all and then the last section over

(23:19):
the credits I think was about as good as he got.
Oh yeah, talking about surfing and the sharks and Piranha
and other things that would be up in Chico.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
And you want to know something crazy, you want to
something absolutely crazy. I'm glad you brought this up, because
I thought about it last night. I almost texted you.
I'm pretty sure that I played football against live Schreiber. Really,
I'm pretty sure, right, because I played my career in
high school from eighty four to eighty eight at Curtis Right.

(23:49):
I went to Curtis High School and Staten Island. We
played Brooklyn Tech my freshman sophomore.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
In junior year.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Okay, he's two years older than I am, and so
I know my last year of varsity, I am sure
I played again or my first year, I am sure
I played against him. He was if he was, he
played defensive back for Brooklyn Tech. I was defensive back
on Curtis. I'm pretty sure I must have played against
him in a game.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
We tied Brooklyn Tech zero zero my freshman year, and
then we played them in a controlled scrimmage. Then the
next year we beat them. We beat Brooklyn Tech like
six nothing. I mean, we were all defense. Right, you
definitely bet the under when when my team played and
then junior year we had like a big controlled scrimmage again,
like a preseason game that didn't count, and it was

(24:37):
like fourteen twelve or something like that was the score.
So I'm pretty sure. I'm like, I'm pretty sure I
played in the game against Liuschreiber.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
That is next level stuff. And you know, because whenever
we have these big moments and a guy takes center stage,
you gotta start going back into their history. I didn't
realize his family history was his crazy as just to
put it in its base terms, a lot of stuff

(25:04):
going on in and eventually ending up in New York,
starting out in San Francisco, but that that would be
really something if you could actually track that back to
verify that.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
I mean the I mean this is the eighties.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I mean so the games are probably on microfiche, you know,
but I you know, like when you when you go
to the library, when.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
We started going in oral histories of things, it.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Was a guy.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, when he said yeah, it was I was, you know, Brooklyn,
I'm like, oh my god, we played Brooklyn. I still
remember our first game against Brooklyn Tech. We should have won.
We had an early whistle, we recovered a fumble ranted
in for a touchdown that ref blue the whistle. Oh man,
we should have won that game. Uh, not that I
bet on it or anything. I just remembered it was
my It was my first football game was that game
against Brooklyn Tech. So I got I gotta look that
up and see exactly when he graduate. But like I,

(25:48):
we overlapped and I maybe we played against each other.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Who knew this is next level stuff. You know what
we should do. We should put out a bounty producer.
Let's get uh, let's get Shriver on the show. Let's
TV bounty. This is what we did. This is what
broadcast the radio.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
This is the version, not a bounty like in a
game where hey, a hard hit gets you whatever it is.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
None of this is a tea.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Peyton alone he and Greg Williams. That's old news.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Oh man, Yeah, Brooklyn Tech, Yeah we beat you guys.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Uh, twittering out about a Fresco Mike has swollen down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon.
I actually got into Brooklyn Tech. Brooklyn Tech was one
of those schools you take a test in eighth grade.
Yea for the three big schools in the city, which
were Stuyvesant, Brooklyn Tech and Bronx High School of Science.
Everybody wanted to get into Stuyvesant and go I didn't
get into Stuyvesant, but I got into Brooklyn Tech and

(26:41):
Bronx School of Science. But I don't want to go there, oh,
because I didn't want to go all the way to
Brooklyn because staten isl in to Brooklyn even.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
I mean, when you're fourteen, you gotta get it right over.
That's nana.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
But it was fun playing him in school. Every they
were blue, were blue and white. Every they're blue and
white their color scheme.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, but you had public transportation that could get you anywhere.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, but dude, I wasn't getting up at five o'clock
in the morning just to go to high school.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Why do it? No? No, because I thought, I like.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Because you know who did this guy? And you know
what I used to do. I bribed the bus driver.
I'm gonna pass out right here, and between you.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
And I, who's the guy right now that always says
I don't get enough sleep?

Speaker 4 (27:11):
That's you. You might have been.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
You might have been a completely different person that you
just had a normal I am getting up at seven
o'clock going into school and having a normal day.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Who knows Look Teddy Chesney has a really great song
called I've Done a Lot of Things Different, and it's
all about the things you do in your life and
how we all maybe change things just a little bit
if we could. I've got a laundry list longer than
my arm.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Twitter it out about a Fresco Mike gets swollen down

(28:02):
college football, every day just gets crazier and crazier. We
got Pete Futech coming up in a few minutes. College
football insider Washington State president has spoken out today saying,
oh man, with what's going on in the death of
the pac twelve and now it looks like Stanford and
Cal aren't going to get into the acc Their grades
weren't high enough to never get well enough on the
SAT they were a long shot couple of teams at best,

(28:25):
and now they're not getting in. It's just absolutely it's
so difficult to keep track of to go forward. And
I see the quote from the Washington State president today
that said everyone is truly looking out for themselves. Well
you should have listened. What was it four years ago
when it looked like things started getting out of control?

Speaker 4 (28:45):
What have we said?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
College football needs a commissioner. College football needs a commissioner
who's able to make the best decisions for the.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Sport going forward.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Because this is an exercise and anarchy when you are
allowing any school to do it however they want to. Hey,
we got permission from our conference. Yeah, why because it's
good for our conference. Great, we're gonna sign this television deal.
We're gonna leave this conference for this conference, doesn't matter
how long we've been there. We can make more money,
and we see that money in front of us. Let's
go do it. This is absolute anarchy and it's not

(29:17):
gonna stop. You think college that this is a runaway
train and no one's throwing the brake on it. We're
gonna have a super conference at some point soon, maybe
in as much of a year when school's like Alabama
and Michigan and Ohio State go, wait, if we have
our own conference, we're gonna get all this cash. The
rest are gonna keep trying to fight for relevancy. They'll
wind up being a new tiered system of college football playoffs.

(29:38):
Because you have the has and have nots for championships
for bulls, streaming rights for different conferences are gonna wind
up coming through for TV. It's never going to stop.
There's no end in sight for it, and eventually it's
gonna wind up hurting the sport. Now.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
It's hard to see it.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Now because this is about schools getting more money and
being able to uh to move forward. But eventually you're
gonna run out of places to go. You're gonna run
out of play Wait. Wait, we just been making all
this big money. We got to make more money. Well,
we're kind of out of ideas. And then you're gonna
look back and go, wow, look at this destruction we
just wove all the way through college football. I mean
this it's an exercise in seeing how anarchy works when

(30:15):
there's nobody in charge of something. Everybody's out for themselves.
Look at where you are you have half the country
is or or thirty percent of the country. The teams
are happy where they are, they're getting paid, thirty other
percent or trying frantically to try to get paid and
they don't know if they can do it. And the
other thirty five percent are saying, we're done where there's
no place for us to go. We're absolutely screwedin all

(30:38):
of this. And this is what happens. Have you had
a commissioner that could go forward for things, Okay, what
if we did this, what if we you could still
have conferences, move you wouldn't have something like this. It
wouldn't be a big free for all. It would seem
like there's a lot more order. But when you don't
have anarchy, this is where you are.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Well, I think I'm in disagreement because in theory, that's
what the NCAA was supposed to be new And clearly
they don't know what they're doing and they didn't know
how to do their job because they couldn't get everybody
to come to the table with all of their with
their hands on the table right not Hey, I'm texting
something else and I'm working another deal while I'm sitting

(31:14):
here and nodding my head looking at you and all
of you out there for your jobs, your home lives, whatever.
You're all kind of chuckling, going yeah, I might have
done that a couple of times. We appreciate you being
part of the extended family, by the way, but just
the idea that look, each conference, so long as there
are conferences, are going to be self interested. They always were.

(31:38):
They just abided by some tenuous set of rules because
that's the way it had always been done. And then realizing,
wait a minute, these guys really have no power in
the end, now do they? Again, owing to the penalties
that have been handed out over the last couple of issues. Hey,

(31:58):
we're negotiating with Harbaugh on suspension. What games he gonna miss?
I don't know all the directional schools he'll be back
for CA. Okay, So it really has a lot of
weight to it, that's what you're telling me, Tennessee. Eight
million dollars, Fine, give up some wins. Nobody cares about
any of that because you watch the games. Right. Anytime
they go and take away one of those national titles,

(32:20):
that they take away all of the ancillary moneies and
sponsorships and raising of all of the advertising and ticket
prices for the years thereafter. Hell, no nobody comes back
and reclaims that money. So in the end, it's an
exercise in futility. We're supposed to do something, so if

(32:41):
we put it on the letter head, it mattered. We've
always had this, Jason, it's just now the chickens have
come home to roost.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
You just if you had an all powerful commissioner, if
you had somebody in there, then all of this doesn't
have you, you would still grow, right because.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Look at look at the National Football League.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Right, you've gotten an incredible growth because you have a
commissioner that while moral questions, you wonder what the hell
is going on, but there's no question at all about
what he's done business wise.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
But it's still one all after team. After that, Joe
Namath won that Super Bowl and everything came together, it's
been one league.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
It's not separate, but this is all thirty two teams.
The Jaguars are just as happy as the Cowboys, right,
they figured that out. Same thing with the NBA. NBA
everybody's all making. I mean, do you feel if you
had someone looking out for one hundred percent of the
of the teams in college football, everything would be would
be much better, much more controlled. Growth would be sustained,

(33:41):
and it wouldn't come in the case of let's just
grab what we can while we can, and then when
the dust settles, who knows what kind of damage we
have to repair. If you had a commissioner, things would
be a little bit different.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Well, but at least with the NFL, it's all on
the same terms. Here's your salary cap, here's your collective
bargaining agreement, here's all of these things. Not all colleges
are created equal in terms of their programs, dollars, availability
on geographic desirability, all of those things, academic prowess, secondary
programs beyond the revenue, sports, etc. So little apples and oranges.

(34:15):
But I get your point, like you at least have
someone that has to take the credit or blame for stuff,
because right now we just pointed everybody and say you
all suck you.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
And you and you suck to and you Lieutenant Weinberg

because that's that's you know, now we're closing that up
because I'm hot in this room twenty five minutes ago.
And she comes back in and she puts down a
fan and I look at it and I go, where
do we get that fan?

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Cheers?

Speaker 1 (37:21):
I just went and bought and I went on Facebook
marketplace and bought it. Drove picked it up, brought it

Speaker 3 (37:29):
I mean, she's operational efficiency right there. Baby, let's go
at the.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Time it went from nick Cope's update to nick Cope's
most recent update, she went out, bought a fan, brought
it back and put it here is twenty bucks for
a big fan.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
Like, all right, this is awesome.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
I told you, man, like you got you gotta solve problems.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Hey that you know, you know what you say?

Speaker 4 (37:47):
What do you say?

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Adding adding value? That's hey, every day do you add value?
You know? I was having a very Joey Tribuani kind
of moment. I was feeling like I lifted right out
of things, right. That's one of the jokes to the
end he and phoebe have with each other on Friends
was well, everybody else has their lives, we kind of
lift right out. I remember Joey got his spin off

(38:09):
and it didn't go over so well, right, I mean,
nobody wanted nobody wanted a second and bite at the apple.
So I was having a big, big moment, and so like,
what do I have in the fridge? I know, I
bought ingredients for something. I'm gonna make a chicken veetagiti alfredo.
So at nine point thirty this morning, I've made it
a giant bowl of chicken fetagidie alfredo and it's delicious,

(38:30):
and I felt like I did something to add value. Now,
my younger daughter is is celebrating with some friends there
at the final night of this Taylor Swift thing at
Sofi Stadium, so she's jacked up. So we were making
bracelets and listening to music or whatever. So we had
our moments. But early this moment morning, I was just

(38:51):
having just a down time where I'm like this sucks,
and I get into moods and I try to, you know,
lift myself up. That's how I did it. Today. I
made a chicken fetichini alfredo from scratch.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
At what time it was time?

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Yeah, buddy, yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
And you know what, the dog and I enjoyed some
extra parmesan cheese. I'll have you know that is right.
That's what you gotta do. You gotta find your wins
and you gotta add some value. Because nobody in that
house could tell me that wasn't a damn fine meal.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
And the best thing is that is, I'm sure you
have stuff left over I do, yeah, and you be
eating you can eat it for breakfast tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
Or what I would do is you know tonight I
would I would have it tonight.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
I thought you were gonna say, well, you know, we'll
be in studio tomorrow, so bring an extra portion, you know,
because you've had it before you No, no.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
I've had no, that's legit.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
But would you bring in the fetacini alfredo and the
and the pork shoulder like those are the days to
come in. That's like, okay, hey, Harmon's really my best
friend today.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Yeah, I got a pork gross ready for tomorrow to
marinating and brining. Right now, let's go gross ready and marinating,
finding my wins. Just like the defense against Aaron Rodgers
and the Jets today.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah, camp, oh yeah, it's all going to hell.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Corey Davis said this day would come. We were afraid
this day was gonna come.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Yeah, we were afraid there'd be a day where we'd
actually would struggle.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
And that Aaron Rodgers would get mad at us.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
I don't want Aaron Rodgers to get mad.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Well, especially if you're Corey Davis.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yeah, oh no, no, yeah, yeah, because first of all,
you're worried about staying on the team.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
That is right.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
Now it looks like you're staying on the team.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Now you're worried about getting the football because they signed
a bunch of hides in the offseason. Hey, these guys
are gonna get the ball because Aaron Rodgers knows them. Look,
everything is fine with the Jets. Everything is fine. It's
always been fine, it will continue to be fine. It's fine. Now,
it's fine. It's one day they had a rough three
and out against the Carolina Panthers, and suddenly all the

(40:52):
pageantry of Hard Knocks goes away, and look at this,
Everything is fine. I watched Hard Knocks three times.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
I watched it.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Did do you watch it a second time with ice
cream in your hand?

Speaker 1 (41:04):
Well, well, the first maybe I watched it twice with
ice cream, or maybe I watched the first time with
ice cream. The second time and the third time I
was hungry again. I went back and had it. It
was it was like we watched it on last night
while it unfolded. We couldn't see any of the here
into the audio, obviously, but you go back and watch
this and this is it was. It's it's watching a

(41:25):
coronation it's watching it's it's it's like knowing that the
Jets are going to win the Super Bowl, and we're
giving you this from the beginning of the year, knowing
how it's going to end with everything he did with Rogers,
and I'm throwing with the no look throws and and
everybody that comes to camps saying wonderful, glowing things about him.
We got eight. Eight is amazing. I don't get it.

(41:46):
You saw a defense corner Jeff Albrook saying what are
you gonna do when he throws that pass on the out?
What are you gonna do? He throws that. I mean,
we shut there, bleeping blanket, he blanks down. We got
a sack, we got this. Yeah, but he made that throat.
There's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can do
when eight makes a throw like that. I mean, nobody
else in the game can make a throw like that.
And I'm sitting here going everybody's getting on board with me. Man,

(42:08):
We're going to the super Bowl. We are going to
the super Bowl. This is absolutely happening. And I feel
like it's like an out of body experience that I'm
having while watching this going. I really everybody's coming around
to it. I knew we were gonna be good. I
know we're gonna be good. Now I'm worried that we're
gonna be too cocky and arrogant. I've gone in one
day going from man, this is gonna be tough, and
the Jets are still gonna jet on. Now it's like,

(42:29):
oh no, now I worry they're too arrogant. Now, now
they'd be too much. Hey, we got a lot going
on here, and I'm gonna have to worry about them
getting a reality check because they're just feeling a little
bit too big for their breitches. That's where I'm at
with the Jets.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
And then you got me laughing going you know, it's
August ninth, So I mean there's a lot of time
before a we play a game, let alone seventeen regular season.
And oh, Aaron Rodgers has generally not been very good
in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
But it doesn't that show.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
I'm okay if he's not good the playoffs, because you
know what that means.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
He got to the playoffs, Yeah, to play Look, the
long road begins with the first step, right, and anything
less than anything more than This season was an abject failure,
disaster and the thirty nine, forty year old quarterback looks
every bit of his forty years.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Yeah, if he was if look, and I maintain this,
if Rogers was gonna suck, if he was gonna suck,
he'd have played out his last year plus for fifty
million dollars with the Packers, and then he would have
retired if he was gonna suck, because he's not someone
that's gonna go out there and play. Look, all the
best players are never gonna go out there and play
when they can't do it anymore.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Right, Tom Brady retired a year.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Early before he really fell off the cliff because you
could tell he was getting to that point. Peyton Manning
the same way, won the Super Bowl. Yeah but I'm out,
but yeah, you were done.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
He was done at the Super Bowl. He was done.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
So these guys knew, and I'm walking out on a
high point. It's the same thing with Aaron Rodgers. If
he thought for a second, hey, I could be done here.
He's not changing in goal because he doesn't want to
go out. He Look, he's a he's a guy that
knows a lot about NFL history, well, especially hard Knock's history.
The voice of God is here. He knows a lot
about the NFL. He doesn't want to be one of
those guys where you're you're watching it. You know, you're

(44:17):
you're watching a TV show on on FS one or
or ESPN six, and it's hey, guys who hung on
too long? And here's Emmett Smith as a Cardinal and
Joe Namath as a ram and Aaron Rodgers as a Jet. Like,
he doesn't want to be that guy, but that's exactly
what he's going to be. Remember that, Remember that horrible
year he spent with the Jets. The Jets thought he

(44:37):
was going to be great, and boy, he's stunk. He's
not gonna be that guy. And if he thought he
was gonna be, if he was anything close to thinking
and maybe I might be that guy, he would have
just stayed. He wouldn't have retired because getting fifty million
dollars at O the year is still getting fifty million
dollars from the year. He would have played one more
year with the Packers, because let's just say has a
bad year with the Packers, right, and and he retires

(44:58):
after this year, what would they say, Hey, he's done,
But look at what he's done. Hall of fame career,
he's got a super Bowl, all these things. Yeah, he
wasn't that great at the end, but okay, but when
you go to another team and you say that, oh no, no, Now,
look at the guy trying to hang on too long.
They had to rip the uniform off, and look how
embarrassing it is. And we talk about it, just like
we talk about Michael Jordan. Look at him playing with

(45:18):
the Wizards. He's not going to be that guy. If
he was going to be anything close, it would have
turned out differently. But he knows he's got stuff left
in the tank. He's already talk about playing two three
more years. I mean, I'm not worried about him playing
on the field. I'm worried about him getting hurt. I'm
worried about other players getting hurt. I'm worried about the
schedule being too. I'm worried about it because I'm a

(45:39):
Jet fan, So I'm worried about everything, right, I'm worried
about it, absolutely everything. But I'm not worried about Aaron
Rodgers on the field playing and performing that. I am
not worried about it all.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Jets, and I
have none of those concerns for him either. Even going
back to last year, he threw twelve interceptions, more than
half of them were either tip balls or basically timing
with the receiver was a bit off. Oh no, wait,
you should have gone to offseason workouts. Maybe you could

(46:07):
have gotten on the same page with those guys a
little bit faster. But I digress. Still through for thirty
seven hundred yards twenty six touchdowns. Yes, I decided to
drop off from the prior two years where he won
the MVP. But he's all about image rehabilitation, right. He
took a lot of heat last year. Remember we were
on top of it first for the playoff failures and

(46:28):
everything going into the season, and then it became in
vogue to go after Aaron Rodgers last year. All of
a sudden, I was like, all right, someone rang a bell. Okay,
we can all criticize. It was like, hey, welcome to
my bandwagon. I've been leading along the way, kind of
like the Russell Wilson won when he wasn't playing so
well in Seattle that folks suddenly recognized, Hey, you know what,

(46:48):
he wasn't really good there the year before. It wasn't
all Denver. It wasn't all Hacket, but we'll save that
for another time. With Rogers, it's image rehabilitation, both on
and off the field. Right, all of the stuff of
the COVID era and the comments that he would make
that rankled people, and discussion points that he tried to

(47:10):
have and very polarizing, not agreeing, disagreeing, just where we're
at right looking in In hindsight, he was a guy
that made a lot of headlines in the news beyond
sports for his comments and being forthright with his thoughts
on the whole process, the NFL's policies and everything else.

(47:32):
But he also had kind of alienated himself from the
Packers again not showing up for offseason workouts. The am
I going to retire? Am I not? Oh eight? I
want MVP. I should probably come back to defend that.
But now you have a point whereas I all right,
let's agree to separate it. Jordan Love's time you move forward,
and he picks a spot that puts him in the spotlight.

(47:57):
Franchise with fifty years of futility. My bears are getting
there soon enough, buddy, So.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
Oh yeah, you're sitting there, buddy.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
By time you and I are done with this show.
I'll be talking about my fifty years of futility unless
Justin Fields is him, but I'm talking.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
But listen.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
But that's the best thing about your team and my team, right,
as bad as we are, the most famous super Bowls
of all time, you and I have won them. Right,
The Jets won the most important super Bowl. Your team
is legendary that no one is ever going to forget
Jet and who any other teams you really go crazy
for that? You really remember the Jets, the eighty five Bears.

(48:34):
No one says, well, the seventy eight Cowboy No, No,
the eighty three Steelers. No, it's the Jets and the
eighty five Bears. I mean that because differently the way
they were able to win the Super Bowl, that's it.
No to the twoth out of I mean maybe a
little bit of the two thousand Ravens because of the
year they won, in their defense, being as good as the.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
People Trent Dilfer and say, look they won with Trent
Dilfer because of the defense and all of those things.
But you get down to it, and it's it's all
about I still have this right. He leaned out a
little bit he's gone not on the TV twelve method,
but the same kind of thing physically to darkness retreats,
like he became this interesting guy of all right, what

(49:14):
the hell goes on in his head? Right he's speaking
at these pharma conferences in Denver. I mean, there's just
so much that that happened and transpired. So it's it's storylines.
But he's got to go out and have a big
year with the Jets to you know, put that for
verbial icing on the cake to really complete the process,

(49:37):
because you watch, he'll be on all the morning shows.
He'll be popping on and doing you know, weekly hits
and oh yeah, he's gonna be funny with McAfee and all.
Like it's it's already there and now just go win.
Just don't screw it up by by becoming a jet.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Icing on the cake. I mean, he's the last thing
I'm worried about. All these other things I'm not worried
about Aaron Rodgers on the field.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
The schedules of pain in the ass, Yeah, look, schedules. Yeah,
you got an offensive line that I don't know, like
of every other thing on your roster. And look, I'm
usually the offensive line skeptic here on the show.

Speaker 4 (50:21):
It isn't flaw.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
I'm I'm confident that by the beginning of the season
they'll figure it out because they have some moving parts
in place. Right now, you're wondering, is Mackay Becton gonna
win a gig? When does Dwayne Brown come back? And
then got But I'm I'm com but but you never know,
you're right. I mean, like I said, there's so many
and as a jet fait, I worry about everything because
that's how it goes. I'm not worried about Aaron on
the field. He's on the field, he's playing, He's gonna
be great. I'm not worried about that.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
Yeah, And i mean, look, he could just steal from
Vince Vaughan yelling hot route to help himself against UH
when his offensive line isn't holding up.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
Twitter it out about a Fresca Mike gets swollen, No
more x at. How about a fresca x at swollen
dome from Mike the Jason's Bitzer with Mike Carmon live
from the ti rack dot Com studios. So a little
bit of that, just just a little bit more hard
to understand. This is the level. This is where the
Jets are at this year. They matter for the first
time this much in fifty years. But coming up next,

(51:13):
we had absolute history in Major League Baseball tonight and
a lesson to be learned from.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
The latest no hitter in Major League Baseball. And it's
a big one.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
It's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox. When's the
last time you looked at your tires? If it was
when Ice He's baby came out, that's too long. Gott
to look at them much much more quicker than that.
But no, I mean a really close inspection because worn
out tires are a danger to you, your passengers and
other drivers. They take longer to stop, not to mention,
they decrease your vehicle's fuel economy. To check, grab a
