(00:24):
listening to Fox Sports Radio. The Mets may never lose again.
We're just gonna win every game we play, so the
rest of the year, it's really curiously, you're gonna keeping
the Dodgers and our pitching staff. We'll match up with

(00:51):
the Dodgers pitching staff to gram and then Stroman don't
forget about thour and Matt's done and Wheeler is so okay,
that was good. Well you really just kept going. Well,

(01:12):
I thought you were going to go down the whole
ross was going to keep going, but I realized this
the song is on a loop and it's not going
to build back up into the popular climax. That's the
whole thing. It was just, you know, we kind of
looped it. Can we play Climax by us? Usher Nour
is at a slide over baby, our baby. Okay, So
I was thinking, pop goes a weasel, boosted the ricket
and you looped it. You looped it. I was I

(01:34):
like that, and they hooped it. They hoo. I gotta
be honest, I was gonna sit back in my chair
and wait for the entirety of the Micky Callaway glowing review.
Callaway is still a horrendous manager. But the Mets can't lose.
It was great though, drive it around here, lose driving
around here in Los Angeles earlier today a little a
little bit of Dodger baseball right afternoon game, but another

(01:57):
walk off, but then the discussion after still just the
nervousness of all the dramatic right ten ten walk offs
and and all of these moments that they've needed. Now
it's Russell Martin getting into the frame and the the
handwringing that's going on to a degree, going wait a minute,
what if? What if in the playoffs you you run

(02:18):
into the Nationals or the Mets, well, one of these
teams where where the pitching is great, run into the
minute what appears to be a cake walk when you're
talking at being in your mid seventies of your wins
the first week of August, that as as easy as
it's looked, it's actually been pretty hard and a lot

(02:40):
of heart wrenching and uh, you know, heart heart racing
kind of moments, even if he come out the the
positive side of the Ledger see I look at it differently.
I look at it as it's not like the Dodgers
are trying less during a game and because they're relying
on well, we're just gonna walk off at the end.
I don't know, I don't see it that way. I
don't see it as a case of, well, we're going

(03:01):
against a really good starting picture. What you can do
when you can walk off like the Dodgers do. Seemingly
every other game is a walk off, and another one today.
Down to their last out, the Dodgers walk off again
against the Cardinals, which gives them a further lead in
the West. Their lead is now at thirty eight and
a half games. Seems like this puts the Mets a

(03:23):
game out of the Wild Card. To and to the
Martin Brown ball up the middle in the center Peel
pro base hit here, crem Seeger and here Clem Spi
and the Dodgers have won it again. In the bottom
of the night. It's really unbelievable. A M five seventy
l A sports on the call, Charlie Steiner every I

(03:45):
I don't know if there's a people keep track of
the the evolution of the walk off because remember remember
when in the seventies and eighties or hardly any walk offs,
and now it's like you get walk offfs all the time.
But the Dodges, what they're doing is so unbelievably unprecedented.
But this is what it does. See, this is nothing
positive because I look at it as no matter what
the situation is, you could be getting dominated by a

(04:08):
Jacob Degram or a Zach Wheeler, or a Noah Syndergard,
or a Marcus Stroman, or a Stephen Matt's or Walter
Lockett if he's if he's a six pitcher, or Seth
Lugo if he's coming in from the store, or Edwin
d As if he is pitching. Well, you could be
dominated by anybody in the later in the later innings,
and it doesn't matter because of what you've done, you're

(04:30):
not gonna lose confidence and you're gonna scare the other team,
and that intangible of the ninth inning becomes a huge
deal instead of the ninth inning coming and you're like,
oh my god, I'm so nervous, we're down to run.
It's hey, we've done this plenty times before. Let's go
do it. And in the back of their minds the Dodgers, no,
we've always done this, And the back of the minds
of other teams they know they've always done this. We

(04:51):
have to be extra careful, and maybe that first batter
of the inning you're a little bit too careful and
there's a walk and that turns into a stolen base,
which turns into a double and a run, and then
there's a runner on second and then they're walking off again.
You can't overvalue the intangible of being able to walk
off and what that does for a team. I love
that Perry positive. That's great, but here in Los Angeles

(05:11):
like Perry positive. Yeah, but here in Los Angeles sounds
like a Disney show. Hey, and the next Perry positive,
Look what happens to Perry when he meets a negative. Dude,
Now we're gonna change that up. I mean, you had
Perry the platypus. That's the problem is trying to sell
it to Disney. Would be a problem. Debbie Ryan guest
stars on a brand new Perry Positive nicely done. Now
now that you've got Debbie Ryan and I will that's
appointment television. Well, I know, well, I know you like

(05:33):
Debbie Ryan. You've had it. You've had a bit of
an infatuation with Debbie Ryan for a few years. I
don't know, six years I've known you. You're trying to
way to mention Debbie Ryan. Really you just mentioned you
kind of just were like the look on your face
is like, oh, I just brought you like you were
in the desert and you were thirsting, and I brought
you a margarita and a water. But I didn't. But

(05:55):
I was thinking about an animated show. It's something that
would have to be something other than a platypus. Since
they've already used the name Perry, maybe we couldn't go
down that highway. Just that you've gotten paulisive, No, Paul,
you give me the stick and X lax watch Peter

(06:15):
into the house, Pitty Peter Tingle. I think that's a
little too on the nose for the kids in the
middle of the afternoons. But I like the way you're
thinking that. But just the idea here with back to
back losses in the World Series, that baseball being a
game that always seems to even itself out, that you
have a lot of these dramatic moments that's somewhere along

(06:37):
the way, they're not going to be there come September
or October. I think I think that's look. You take
the winds as they come, and you celebrate everyone of
them right in your life. All the little things that
add up over the course of today great. And if
you're the Dodgers on the diamond, you'll take them and
you rack them up. But you're also if you're a fan,
you're you're sitting here going We've done this before, maybe

(06:59):
not to these historic levels, but there's just that cautionary
moment to it, especially when you saw what other teams
did at the deadline, and when you look at what
you've got going forward and maybe some of the challenges
that that pop up. And you know, I love the
fact that everywhere you turn there's numerous Dodgers insiders the

(07:23):
Blue check Mark World pointing out Joe Davis since June
one has one point seven four e r A, They're
gonna make sure you know that he's no longer a
problem Twitter at about a Fresco Mike had swollen don
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carman.
Already a big day in Major League Baseblasters to the Dodgers,
walk off again, the Mets win again. Chris Davis wants

(07:45):
to fight as manager in Baltimore. I can't say, well,
he's yeah, he has been horrible for a long time.
But one of the big things going viral at the
moment during the Yankees game tonight against the Orioles, in
which the Yankees are trying to put the finishing touches
on a close game they lead Baltimore four teen to one.
Chris Davis of the Orioles. Yes, that Chris Davis not

(08:07):
the good one. The other Chris Davis had to be
restrained from going after Brandon Hyde, Orioles manager, in the
dugout during a disagreement, and Chris Davis goes from angry
underachieving player, and he really tries to push through a
couple of guys to get at the manager. I mean
it really, it's insane. He tried. Three guys have to

(08:30):
hold him back and everybody gets involved. He wants a
piece of Brandon Hide. He wants a piece of his manager.
I mean, this is even better than last week. At
least last week we had you know, David Bell was
going after Clint Hurdle. That was on two different teams.
Yet managers going after a manager. No, this is a
guy going after his own manager. And it's not in
the Yankees dug out. This is better than than Courtland

(08:51):
Sutton and Emmanuel Sanders game. Oh well, there's much better
video with it. When you want to fight your manager,
that's a big. He's gonna have a slip in his locker,
like we're in Major League. That's a lot of pent up,
a lot of pent up anger right there from Chris Davis.
I gotta think that's a man looking to get the
final seven weeks of his salary while sitting on his

(09:11):
porch and or hoping that, you know, maybe some contender
wants to pick him up to be a bad off
the bench inspiration. Big that doesn't know how how bad
he's been for the past. Look when he does get
hold of the ball, Look at my stats. Why does
it stop in two thousand and fourteen? That's all right,
it's it's basically the same up until now. I just
have enough paper to print out the fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen.

(09:32):
So yeah, but no, but it's basically the same thing.
I had a good run. I mean, look at me.
I was a power hitter. Yeah, I struck out a lot,
and I strike out even more right now. But yeah,
that that's a pretty good video. I like that. Weren't
you like oh for nine? Now it wasn't. It wasn't that, man,
it's like oh for ten. But he really, I mean
he wants a piece of his manager's pretty good. And
that's that's you know, that's that's usually, Like I said,

(09:57):
that's like Yankees early eighties. You know, Bill Martin wants
to fight every person out Reggie Jacks and I mean
players in a bar. I mean, I wonder if that's
gonna happen after all, right, Brandon Hid, all right, let's
meet outside. But Chris Davis a pretty big dude. I
wouldn't want to christ two of them will look at
each other after a minute or two and say, we're

(10:17):
with the Orioles. We knew what we were in for.
Just just let it go right now. We got seven
weeks together, you know whatever. We all knew this we got.
We got seven weeks together. They decided that they were
just gonna keep I gotta keep playing you. That's the
word from up high, that I still have to give
you some requisited bats. So we could say we got
something even of little value for the money we're paying you,

(10:40):
because remember he had he had a pretty big contract
a while ago. You look at him for the year,
two six at bats and uh sitting down at a
robust batting. I mean, he's got he's got three more
years left in the deal that originally was worth like
a hundred and six million dollars. I mean, Miguel Cabrera

(11:03):
could get traded before him. But really, that's that's insane. Yeah, yeah,
by goodness, that's a really big nine home runs on
the year. That's all right, that's good one. RB I
bats with strikeouts. At least at least he kind of

(11:24):
looks like Bryce Harper a little bit. He has that
you know, the chaw on the mouth, that struble, He
has that little bit of look going for him. He
doesn't hit like Bryce Harper, but then again, Bryce Harper
is not that great either, but I just get that
little bit, all right. Yeah, yeah, maybe you think you
look at me and think out he's a fighter. I
gotta put him up there. I gotta put him up
a bat. I gotta put him in the game. But

(11:46):
now he just wants to fight his manager. Well, I've
never you know, I've never wanted to fight one of
my bosses. I mean, I've had bosses that that have
been terrible. I've had. I've had some of the worst
bosses in the world. In radio, I had horrible bosses ESPN.
I had horrible bosses when I worked in the suits
in supermarket in Syracuse, horrendous bosses that didn't know what

(12:07):
they were doing or just they didn't like me, and
I didn't like them. But I never wanted to fight them.
I mean some of them. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
I've had really several bosses that but I wouldn't want to.
I mean I would have taken into the squared circle
with literally you would have fought them. You would have
fought your boss. You would have a fist fight. Wouldn't
have been putting up much of a fight. You want
to have a fist fight, I mean, because all right,

(12:29):
because now I know you're strong, but you go about
five seven. But if I get it. If I get
to work, any of your boss is tall or you're
like Tyson, like, if you get that, you're done. I've not.
I just can't. I mean, everybody's taller than me. Yeah. Yeah,
well the one boss. That's just true, the one boss.

(12:50):
If you said, right, is there anybody you would have
liked to fight? If I could guarantee you, now, yeah,
there's one. But he was way taller than I was.
You know, I wouldn't have wanted. You know, I don't want.
Would have would have been difficult. It would have been difficult,
all right. Now, I don't know. I just I just
maybe I'm just not. I'm just not wired that way
to want to actually fist fight. Somebody's got arrest whoa,

(13:13):
whoa hands of steel. I mean, it's not the whole
Bruce Lee speech. You know, these are registered in lethal
and if you know, something happens, no, I mean I
look like, hey, I give I just give them a
good tongue lashing. Boy. That guy's tongue as a weapon.
He's got a tongue like a razor sweet switch blade knife. Now,
I can do you favors and you'll do whatever I like.

(13:36):
Here he is he's Jason Smith. Don't get him talking.
He's got that He'll cut you up with that tongue.
He's gonna just gonna come out. It's gonna be like
that kid that had five teeth in his mouth and
they takes some bite and something. All those teeth, it's
gonna shred you. Wow. Yeah, I was trying to I
was gonna go shark, but I figured the kid with
five hundred teeth in his mouth, that's something we should

(13:56):
bring back because it was pretty good. I mean, you
have five teeth his mouth, that's a lot of teeth.
That's it's a lot of teams. Well, I mean it's
like sharks teeth. Many were one byte and gone and
then the next rope pops up. I mean we're talking
about it in terms of Victor crom And you know
his should have been disqualified. I mean, he's able to
become a shark. Distent is for Champions and Friends Twitter.

(14:21):

(15:25):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten
pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the I Heart Radio Whip. Every time I hear this
song now I think of Rush Hour when they're doing
when they're doing the song and Jackie Chan is doing
this in karaoke. That's pretty good. I like that. I
was thinking the episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. I'm a

(15:47):
referenced down the show yesterday where they go and hang
out with they're in the car driving home and they
sing Meet the Mets, and then there's this pause and
they look at each other and silence, and then Robert
yells whoa and they begin to sing this as if
you know the credits wrong. So there you go. I
miss it. How did the Mets do today? They won again.

(16:09):
They may never lose again. We're just gonna win every
game the rest of the year. Oh boy, but my hell.
I actually had someone from Crooked County, Illinois. My people,
uh people, someplace named Crooked County is your people. That's okay,
I mean that's what you said, Cook County in Illinois

(16:29):
because of the number of people that have been indicted
that were in public office Crooket County. You had you
had a land investment scheme going on in the early nineties,
didn't you. Scheme? You said, scheme. You've already put in
the pejorative Mike, please help the Mets. They're winning, and
it's an awesome show when they lose, but it's even
more awesome when they win. It's it's not that he's

(16:52):
gonna jump in and be Justin Frostburg in his vitriol
and hatred of the Mets and losing of you. I mean,
we love having in a look. He's on Green Bay
Packers message boards talking about Aaron Rodgers right now. He's
not even paying attention to the show and we're wrong.
He's doing a deep dive. He's on the dark Web

(17:13):
trying to find stuff on Matt la Fleur. Right now,
did you did he celebrate Jordy Nelson's goodbye? I mean,
I think he's actually doing the stuff. He's actually getting
the statue right now. Yeah, but we have to talk
about Marshawn Lynch is football cap. It's it's it merits
a nice, big, long conversation because trust me, it is

(17:36):
about as insane as you expected to be anything involving
Marshawn Lynch. Back in in late July July, Marshawn Lynch
had a football camp called the Family First Camp in
the Seattle area. Now realize you'll hear this story and
then think back at the end and go, oh, I
see the irony of the whole family. First camp, Now,
it's a football camp, just like any kids go to

(17:58):
football camp. And when they are in there, you know
they're their early teens and in high school where they
go for days and they practice and they learned different things.
And Marshawn Lynch has this camp. Usually camps like this
are pretty expensive. Mars Shawn Lynch had a football camp
did not go very well. This videos were obtained by
TMZ and this controversy really takes you inside who Marshawn

(18:22):
Lynch is. Right, many people who were watching their kids
take place in this football camp had just watched him
get very angry at some of the kids that weren't
following drills. He had them hitting and doing hitting drills
without equipment, without equipment, hitting without equipment, and if they

(18:46):
didn't do it right, and if they didn't do it right,
and if if they didn't do it right or they
messed around in the drill, he made them run. He
cursed at them while he was making them work out
and run. So this is the basis of the conversation.
It's a camp. The kids are hitting each other doing

(19:10):
hitting drills with no equipment on. Marshawn Lynch is cursing
at them and telling them to get out of the drill.
And before you think oh the Chris, no, no, you'll
hear Marshawn Lynch fully admitting to cursing these kids out.
What am I missing in this store? I'm missing? Oh,
the kids are nine years old, That's what I got,
So that's what I was missing, nine years old. Marshawn

(19:31):
Lynch has them hitting and is cursing at them nine
years old. Marshawn Lynch, your campers are nine years old today.
Why are you cursing at them? Just talk and say
nine years old? This is a problem already. And luckily
or unluckily, one woman got really mad at Marshawn Lynch

(19:53):
and the face of the field had stands and where
at tmzs count where the cameras are that that caught
This was at the top of like a little concourse
level of where there's there's rows of stands in a
concourse level where this woman who had just gone and
confronted Marshawn Lynch threw her son's shirt down at him.

(20:13):
What are you doing? You're cursing at him. You're making
them hit all of these things. She's up now at
the top of the concourse level. Marshawn Lynch comes running
up to the top to talk to her. Now before
we get to the sound, I think my favorite part.
You have to see this audio. It's on TMZ, is it.
He gets the top of the concourse and he stops.
He's out of breath for a while. Yeah, he is. Who.
He's doing that for a couple of sands, going hey,

(20:35):
I'm wanted to come up here? Who? Who wanted to
talk to you a little bit? Even the guy right
up about forty steps, he's like, who, all right, let
me for a second, hang on a second. We always
see him riding around in scooters and steps, you know. Okay,
that's life of a coach, alright, alright, alright, alright. And

(20:57):
then he winds up talking to her. And the first
thing he does is ask if there's somebody else around
he can talk to, because he doesn't want to talk
to a woman. Is not a man here with you?
Is there a man here with you? I want to
talk to a man, is what he said. I want

(21:18):
to talk to me? That is? Is that? Everything you
need to know about Marshawn Lynch. Listen, I'm not going
to talk to a woman about this, but I'm his mother. Yeah,
is there a man here? Because a man would understand
that I had to curse it kids that are nine
years old. I mean, really, a man would understand this
that a man would a man, but you don't because
you're a woman. I mean, oh, oh my god. And
I'm glad that one woman said, what what does that
have to do with anything? It's it's she's there for

(21:41):
her kid. It's a is there a man here? I mean, really,
I need to talk to a man. I'm obviously I'm
getting nowhere with you. You You are just a woman. So
let's just you know what. And he's looking around, like,
is there somebody else gonna come and go? Don't worry Marshawn. Yes,
mars Shawn, I'll talk sense into her, because wow, you're
a former NFL running back, you're a super roll champ being.
They should have given you the ball in the one

(22:01):
yard line. Yes, Marshawn, whatever you think. So that's the
first part about Marshawn Lynch. Is there a man around? No?
It's absolutely bewildering. And that's all gets caught on tape.
This has been percolating for weeks, for what about a
week and a half where this is sitting the first

(22:22):
when did it started coming out over the weekend But
there was no video, just some of the hearsay and
the discussion. And now you get to this level of
who takes their kids to the camps. I've been to
these camps participated, not not to where the pros were there,
but some of these camps as a kid, there's it's
it's moms off at times, right, and and we certainly

(22:46):
have a sensitivity to who's working through getting kids to
and from I mean, you have the term soccer moms
as a as a line for a reason. We were
talking about this a little bit earlier today my daughter
or not. It's like that's just historically how things operated.
You know, Dad, the husband or father or father figure

(23:08):
is at work whatever. Like Marshawn Lynch kind of has
to understand that to a degree, take the whole thing.
You know, I go just to the nuts and bolts
about who's getting folks around and schedules and all, but
then we go inside the family dynamic. Because I thought

(23:29):
I could make the man understand that it's not gonna
understand taking it that that other sexist, ridiculous route of
You'll understand why I have them hitting with with no pad.
You'll understand why I cursed them out. No, no, no,
they're they're they're nine, They're five years away from being
able to. You can't curse out kids like that until

(23:50):
they get to high school. You're talking about nine. You
don't get you don't do that anymore. You don't get
how I grew up. This was nothing hit me the
proper phrase. But you know what I mean is just
a different Yeah, I grew up this way. So that's that. No,
that's not how celebrity camp. I know. I know, I'm

(24:11):
a coach. I'm gonna curse out Brad Pitts kid. I'm
gonna curse out Vince Vaughan's kid. Vince doesn't have kids.
But you know, I mean this delivery man, that's true.
He was, Yes, he was, he was, And did he
have kids? And no, no, he didn't have No. No,
I don't think he's ever done a movie where he's
had kids except for that one. Has he I don't

(24:31):
think he has. I didn't have kids in Lost World
and have kids and made swingers. I didn't have kids. No,
I don't think he has. How about that. It's like
it's like Mark Wahlberg in the movie where he doesn't
have a Boston accent. I was watching Gambler The Gambler
Today a little bit earlier with him and early Bree Larson,

(24:51):
Tony fourteen, John Gooden, where uh you know, he's he's
a college professor. That's always fun, but he's also got
a huge gambling problem. Jessica Lang is in it. I
mean a good cast, not a very good movie, as
you might surmise. So one and a half stars from
Mike Harmon that's it. But yes, I don't know that
there's any kids in the filmography of vincem So this

(25:13):
is where we're at. Marshawn Lynch runs a camp. He
has kids hitting without equipment, cursing at them, and then
when a woman has a problem with it, asks if
there's a man I can talk to. This is like
the most cliche thing that I would expect to see
in the worst B movie. But this is Mark Shawn
Lynch in real life. We haven't even gotten the best
part yet. But wait, there's more. Because when we last

(25:34):
left Marshawn Lynch. We had told you the story about
his football camp that is that ran late last month.
Video and audio just getting out today about a controversy
involved in which he's coaching nine year old kids. There's
about two hundred of them there and they're doing hitting
drills without equipment. Some parents don't like it, and if

(25:56):
the kid messes up or is not doing exactly what
he's told, he's made to run lap okay, and Marshawn
Lynches cursing at him, which is not okay, No, not
not so much. One of the women whose kid was
yelled at during the camp confronted Marshawn Lynch about it,
and as we told you, we played the audio a

(26:16):
few seconds ago when he ran up to her and said, Hey,
is there a man here? Can I talk to a man?
All right? It is the worst most cliche thing you
could possibly say, but that's exactly who Marshawn Lynch is. Man,
more powerful, more important than woman. Alright, Great, now that
we have that settled, the woman in question wants to
question Marshawn Lynches strategy and philosophy of being able to

(26:40):
curse at the kids and punish them. That way now,
the camera that's recording all of this, you would think
Marshaw Lynch would want to grab and destroy, but no,
instead he says, bring that camera close so you can
understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. Here's Marshawn Lynch
in this whole thing going on. He understands this is
a cell phone. This is gonna get out. They're gonna
send this video somewhere. So I want to explain myself,

(27:01):
which is pretty good presence of mind. No good, go
up and explain yourself after you catch your breath from
running up stairs. Yes, but then this is how he
explained himself. If it takes that amount of time for
when I tell the kid to do something and they're
not doing what they're supposed to do, then there is
consequences like push ups, like running leapt like telling them

(27:22):
to get out of my drill if they're not participating,
all right, my drill or whatever it takes to get
my drill. Because there's blue kid, but there is also
a hundred more kids out there. Oh yeah, no, I'll
tell him get the blank out of my drill. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, no,

(27:42):
these are nine year old kids. I'll kurts out of him. No,
I did that. Yeah, that was me. You know, he
could have done it, he said, she said, I never
said I never called a kid a name. I may
have cursed a little bit. Oh no, no, I get
the blank out of my No, there is that. Yeah,
I mean he was honest. That's like the guy standing
up in court and the judge about to go, Well,

(28:04):
the defense finds you, you know what, I did it?
Your I did it. I'm sorry, I can't, I I
can't I did it. I did it. I'm gonna be honest.
I mean, was he gonna do? Deny it? He's a
and you hear how out of breath he is. He's
not in game shape. Maybe I was affected participating in

(28:29):
the camp. Explain myself quite like this. Yeah, it is
something next level, that is completely next level, that is
completely next level. Yeah, but he owned it. Look, I'm
cursing Adam. I'm kicking about him now you now you
know all Marshall Lynch forever was all. Look how misunderstood
he is, and he's fun and he was able to

(28:51):
ride the line because you knew this is kind of
what he was like. But still he was able to
keep just enough of it. Away from all of us,
and we were like, oh, look how cool marsha is.
Look how much we like and look and then he
comes up. Is there a man around? And oh yeah,
I'll curse that nine year old kids. Okay, now to
play gut of my drill? You nine year old? What
are you in fourth grade? Uh? You should know better

(29:13):
than that by now. I mean really, this is Marshawn
Lynch for everybody who wants to point to different athletes
and when they're kind of half and half right, like,
they do some good things to do some bad things.
Sometimes we just want to just push away the bad
stuff because well, they do all these other good things
and no, all of it is part of who they are.

(29:35):
You can do really good things. You can also do
really crappy things, and that makes you someone who's really crappy.
If you're not a good person that does bad things,
you could be a bad person that sometimes does good things.
It's like when I watch Sons of Anarchy, Jeez, the
good but sixty percent, my god, they're burning people in
other and other motorcycle gangs and just you know, killing
everybody because they feel like it, you know. But okay,

(29:58):
but they do other good things. So it's day. I mean,
sometimes people we don't realize that people are very complicated
and they're not all good, they're not all bad. You
can't just ignore the bad stuff somebody does. You also
can't just ignore the good stuff somebody does. But this
is a case of Marshall Lynch, who got a great
run of publicity late in his career, who has given

(30:18):
a pass for many things. And now you see this
and you realize, Okay, that's all. Because as soon as
I brought this up to my wife, as soon as
Marshall Lynch, I I played her the SoundBite of is
there a man around? She said, oh, And I said
that tells you Marshall Lynches and she said, exactly, that's
exactly who he is. Yeah, because the pushing the kids hard,
cursing at them. Look, I I experienced a lot of

(30:40):
that asking I'm sure you did as well, but different times.
Then just because it quote worked back in the day
doesn't mean a it's accepted. I mean that it was
the right thing to do. So you have that. And
and certainly from our Shawn Lynch, he'd done a great
run of rehabilitating he's immage and went out a hero. Right,

(31:02):
the even I'm here so I don't get fined became
a mantra and kind of a laughing, laughing and comedic
element to everything versus what guys normally get when they
don't want to answer questions at press conferences. Right, because
even Bill Belichick and Gregg Popovich, the it's cute stopped

(31:23):
being such for many media members a long time ago.
I decided, you know, if they're going to play the game,
and we decided to cover it. That's what it is.
Same thing was from Marshawn Lynch as you went. But
now you have this incident and be curious see if
any other videos start to surface. Not that there will
be any other confrontations that show up, but if we
pick up any more of the audio or video of

(31:47):
the practices himself, because that that might be as disturbing
when it's all said, Look, is there a man? I
want to talk to him? Man? All right, I want
to talk to you. I want to talk to him
Twitter and I about a frescop. Mike a swollen man,
Mike gets swollen, dumb. We'll have more on the NFL
coming up, but straight ahead, you and I all like

(32:07):
to watch sports on television sports on cable. Well, after
the big news today, I think those days are gonna
be over pretty fast. We'll explain why today was a
huge game changer in the world of watches sports on TV.
It's next on Fox. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at

(32:28):
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific Fox Sports Radio The
Jason Smith Show with my bass friend Mike Harmon, And
we got a great story out of Major League Baseball
coming your way in about ten minutes. But today was
really a game changing day if you like to watch
sports on TV, and really, who amongst us doesn't You

(32:51):
maybe saw the story today that Disney Plus, which is
coming out the new Disney streaming service that starts later
on this year, is going to now remake movies like
Home Alone, Cheaper by the Dozen, all these movies that
Fox had the right to for a long time, and
now we're gonna remake it. We're gonna put this out
all part of their streaming service that's getting a lot
of attention because there's gonna be new Marvel series out there.

(33:12):
They're gonna be the home for all the Marvel movies
it's gonna be this Disney Plus launching thing is a
very big deal. All the catalogs of all those famous
shows you've been watching, Simpsons and whatever else everything there.
So why is this such a big deal. They even
said the price of it, it's gonna be about six month,
which is about half the price for Netflix. Right, So

(33:34):
what where does this play into watching sports on TV? Well,
it comes into for two reasons. Number one is because
the last holdouts of cable, the only people who really
have cable anymore are people with families and people who
want to watch live sports on TV. Now that took
a huge hit today because now with Disney coming out
with the streaming service and the more things they're adding,

(33:55):
the less people are gonna say I need overall cable. Well,
and those people that just adopt new things, I mean,
you're always gonna have a very healthy base, uh sitting
there for that. But if you can suddenly stream, I
don't know. With an NFL season coming up, you know
the game pass, slash Sunday ticket instead of having to

(34:17):
have Direct TV, people are jumping off Direct TV tomorrow.
Yeah it's already, yeah, you're seeing it moved. But these
are the lead by by, by and large, these are
the last two holdouts are families and people who want
to watch live sporting event. Well, now the way Disney
Plus is going, they're going to continue to eat away,
and families are gonna say, oh, so six, I can
get everything I need now here and and okay, boom,

(34:38):
I will cut that cord them on for Disney Plus,
Hulu and Espn. And that's the second part of That's
the second part of this is that part of this
Home Alone announcement today, which everybody's wondering what they can
do home alone. Look, Zac fran to being home alone
unless he's the dad. But the next part of this

(34:59):
conversation was, Hey, don't worry about it. We're gonna bundle
Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN for twelve month right now.
That is what you want to watch live sports on TV.
That's what you need. These two events today, the announcement
of Home Alone, realizing that families are now going to

(35:21):
be leaving Cable, one of the last bastions and last
supporters of it. And now this news today that you're
gonna be able to bundle ESPN with Hulu and Disney. Hey,
it's gonna be low. It's gonna be twelve. I'm sure
it's gonna be incredibly successful, and then it's gonna the
price is gonna double and people are still gonna pay it.
This is what is going to really kill cable in
the next couple of years. I mean really, this is

(35:41):
because those last holdouts now we're saying, okay, now I
can move on and get here. I can still get
live sports over here. That's what's gonna kill cable as
long as the quality holds up. Right now, watched you
know as you as you will. You know, we've seen
some of the YouTube baseball games. Obviously we have the
the Dodgers today, so local market blah blah, but we've

(36:01):
seen that with success. Hulu had the huge ad campaign
of right, Hulu has live sports with all all throughout
the NBA season. So now the curiosity is, all right,
what's that next percentage to come over and making sure
that you can withstand the critical mass and that the
stream doesn't have lapses and jumps and whatever else. But

(36:21):
this is this is where you're headed. This is where
everybody's heading online, and the old days are are moving away.
In three years, cable is gonna look like MySpace compared
to the Facebook reality of what everybody watches television. It's
gonna be the front down. Really, in three years, cable
is not going to exist as we know it, and

(36:42):
it's gonna be oh my god, really you still have cable?
Is gonna be like people now that don't have cable. Yeah,
everybody's gonna be spending their twelve bucks on nine different services.
Coming up next, a huge story out of Major League Baseball.
This is Fox. Be sure to catch live editions of
pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and

(37:04):
the I Heart Radio app Fox Sports Radio. Welcome inside
our to I'm Jason. The man on my left is
my best friend, Mike Harmon. What's going on, buddy? Um?
I want to say this before we get into the
big story breaking out of the Yankees Orioles game tonight
involving a near fighting, the dugout between a player and
a manager. Sweet, I give credit work credits to all

(37:28):
the time. Today's the day that ESPN two is going
to the Oh Show and and showing different sports all
day long. And they just showed like dodgeball Championships not
too long ago on TV and now no, this is
like the Dodgeball Championships in the world. And now they're
showing Dodgeball the movie which is on Look. Dodge was

(37:48):
one of the great comedies of the past twenty years.
And I always dig when they go to the Oh
Show when they do it, they do stuff like this.
But you know, there's one thing that I've always wanted
to say about dodge ball. What's is this dodgeball that
they show in the movie is kind of just like
the dodgeball you see that we watching the Dodgeball Championships. Right,

(38:09):
there's a bunch of people on each side. The balls
are smaller. You throw it at the person, you hit
him there out you can deflect it with your hands
on a ball if you're holding a ball in your hands.
All these I mean, they don't do the whole you know,
eyes closed, grabbed the ball, step out of the triangle,
that's the question. But did he have a foot fault
as well? What was Peter in his triangle? Uh? Well,

(38:35):
And I do have a quick confession to make. I
once did our our soccer team before a game. We
all walked on the field doing that I have no
doubt it was. It was only a scrimmage, so it
didn't matter. We knew the other. We come out doing that.
It's pretty good. Average Joe's does not have enough players
and will be forfeiting the championship match. The strategy. Yeah,

(38:58):
they really should have Pepper announced. Yeah yeah, blank and egg, cotton,
blank and egg. But you know, I grew up on dodgeball,
and not that I'm a dodgeball Pierce. I'm sound like
an old guy right now. But you know, dodgeball the
way it should be is the big red kickball. Everybody
on one side, right and then side, there's one ball.

(39:20):
You catch it, the person's out. If it hits you,
you don't catch it, you're out. And that's how it goes.
And either you play and nobody gets to go back in,
or you get in line and you you know, rotate
getting back in. You try to win that way. But
that's really how dodgeball is. That's how it should be.
I mean, do some of my greatest sports memories are
in dodgeball because I could catch the ball, like you

(39:41):
know what I mean, I couldn't throw because the ball
was way too big for me. So I would always
just you do a double overhand throw. The thing is
I had a good arm for soft of it was
just too big, So I would do is. I would
cup it like it was like a um, like between
my wrist in my hand, and I would throw it
like I'm throwing a pilota in in a highlight, and
I would just come back and try to throw it

(40:02):
that way it would go down. I just could never no, no, no,
no no. If you went to I just I just
because I would try to throw it and it would
spin out of my hand and some would catch it.
They would go, wow, Jason's I was a pretty good
baseball players like Jason. I'm like, I can't throw the
ball like that anymore, but I could catch. You should
have deflated the ball and I could catch. All that

(40:24):
was always say, if you play with the deflated ball.
I was never dropping it, never, But it was where
guys could just hum it and people are just diving
to get out of the way, the girls all the
way in the back in one corner, and of course
one guy would just try to wiz it all the
way in the back and hit them or but then
he knew he's got to come after the guys that
can catch and leave my own book, and I gotta
be honest, I didn't drop many. And there was I

(40:47):
remember Darren's Gillard. He's a guy I can't believe he
could throw the ball that hard, like eighth grade. He
could throw the ball and it would hiss as it
would go by you, and I'm going, oh my god,
this guy can throw this. So everybody is everybody is back.
I'm backed up almost all the way to the wall
in the gym, and he throws it and it's like
where everybody just gets out of the way and jumps

(41:07):
out of the way and it's coming right at me,
and I'm like, blanket, I'm gonna catch it. And I
catch it, and it's so hard to I go back
against the wall. I kind of hit my head against
the wall and I'm like a little blurry for a second,
but I hold on to it. I'm like, oh my god.
I remember the look on his face, like what just happened.
And then I did the cool thing. I'm like, yeah,
I caught it. I give it to somebody else to
throw here, go ahead, you throw it. I'm like I

(41:28):
gotta sit here for a second. Man. But then I
was the king that day in school Jackson, Well, no,
he did, yeah he did, Yeah he did. He could.
It was like at least nine and five miles an
hour he was throwing. This ball had bamn and I
just couldnt have been signed by the end. I was
a legend and I was the guy that would catch everything.
Don't have been tracking him since January. No, then it
would stay away, and then I could move around the

(41:50):
court and go like, oh, I'm gonna get in here,
and they would always look where I would go. They
look throw the other way. I was like, I'm the
king now, man. I wish saw the girls? I wish?
And then a girl I went the other way too.
Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa Wait wait wait wait,
how are you intertw I was saying to the other
I'm talking about whoa dodgeball, the sport of degradation. I'm

(42:14):
talking about dodge you're talking. I mean, I'm just talking
about saying that the girls were running away from you.
I'm talking about the eighth grade me, who was like, hey,
I could have been talking about something, how dare you?
I could have been I was suddenly I'm like a lizard.
I am all over the floor and they're they're trying
to avoid me on matrix. I got, I got a reputation. Now,

(42:37):
now this dodgeball, where you throw it, you can, you
can block it and you can. It's not the same.
You can a whole line of merchandise wall Now it's
a lot of hats. I think that's a better game
as you go. So, I mean, I get the game
needs to be faster. For television New York people still
actually watch. Actually we're watching on television. It's hard to
really understand what any of the rules are. But I'm like,

(43:00):
but it's like when you're as rules football had no idea,
but it's just except you had the little guy in
the hat that would make his his signal after the
ball went through. I just like, where how you know
how the the dodgeball looks in the movie is so
high rent and and high end, And when you see
the Dodgeball World Championships, it looks like it could be

(43:20):
in a gym on the corner in your in your
multipublic school, yeah, middle school, jim aside for a big
sale in the back. I gotta say this, though, your
books will be given out as we celebrate uh Vince
Vaughan and his confrontation with Big Daddy after the great
uniform mix up. The fact that you have all of

(43:41):
these sports, that they have a place in our streaming
world that we were just talking about. You gotta listen
to the whole show. Find the podcast after our shows
over coming up at eleven little after eleven Pacific. Here
go to iTunes The Jayson Smith Show with Mike Armond,
download and given five stars. Will love you forever and
ever again, but live sports Man. People will find it

(44:02):
streaming mean, I mean, look, it was highlights, Austrian stuff,
more dodgeball, regional dodgeball action. I'll tell you what highlight
is fun. Do you ever go to highlight? Heckling at
highlight is the best cause it's quiet and you can danny,
you suck and it just echoes all the way. You mean,
it's not like golf where they run you out. Oh no, no,
no heckling and but you have destroyed the sanctity of

(44:26):
this quiet space. You know, for four and a half
minutes it was fun watching dodgeball, and I'm like, all
right now, I'm all right, I'm kind of done with
it now. It's like one of those things that are
fun for five minutes, like when you go through the
the mall and and there's the guy flying the copter
in the middle, when you're trying to walk between Sephora
and Mrs. Fields and you're trying to get to lids
and the guys and be like, oh, that's cool, we
should get that. And then after five minutes where it

(44:47):
you're like, oh, don't don't out of the air. No, wow,
look at you sat one out of here. Don't don't
buzz the blanket tower and jerk, how I'm walking here
like Harmin is full of hatred tonight, but exactly maybe

(45:07):
not quite as full of the hatred that Chris Davis
has for Brendan Hyde, his manager in Baltimore. Now the
Yankees one tonight, fourteen one over the Orioles. It was
not a close game, it was or fourteen two was
the final was never in doubt. But in the fifth
inning Chris Davis of the Orioles, he of the oh

(45:29):
for a million hit streak that didn't happen earlier this year,
who has been tremendously horrible since he signed that big
contract extension a couple of years ago. I didn't like
the fact he was removed from the game, or was
very upset for a different reason and wanted to fight
his manager in the dugout. Here's some play by play

(45:51):
of the altercation. As the inning ended and the team
came off the field, words were exchanged between the skipper
brand that hide we believe, and Chris Davis, and Davis
got so animated and angry he had to be held back.
And now when his turn comes up, he's pinched it
for it's loud talking going on, that's for sure. Some

(46:12):
loud talking, that's for sure. It's a lot of let blanket,
a cotton blanket. And now here's Brennan Hyde following the
game talking about the incident with Chris Davis. I took
him out of the game. Yeah, we had words and
I took him. I took him out of the game. So,
like I said, this is you know, me and Chris
have a good relationship, and these things happen in competitive
environments and something we'll gonna that will pass and we'll

(46:33):
get we'll get through it. But it was just unfortunately happened.
Uh in the dugout. Look, he hasn't been playing well
in years. He's hitting one eighty three, he got into
an argument with Hide. Hide took him out of the game,
and he really wanted to fight. He got lucky. Look
Mark Trumbo and hitting coach Don Long. If they don't

(46:54):
get in there, he is in his like, it's not
one of those hold me back, but I'm gonna look
like I want to know. People wanted to get at him,
and then luckily when two guys stepped in, he realized,
all right, I I probably shouldn't do that, but he
wanted the piece of his manager. You'd like to see
that competitive fire here in the second week of August. Yeah,
when you're a thousand games out of first place. Where

(47:15):
was this in mid April? He had it, but at
that point they had already recognized that they weren't playing
for anything. Here he's trying to get his unconditional release
since there's no second trade deadline to where that someone
can offer a bucket of balls for him. Nobody wants
that contract either, Uh, but maybe he can find his
way to a contender on a nothing deal while the

(47:36):
Orioles pay the rest of the freight. You know, my
life and your life, none of our lives are that
much different. When it comes to where we work. People
think it's different because you and I work in television
and radio. To look, jobs are the same. Some places
you go, you have really good bosses, you know. I
had some good bosses at ESPN. We have really good
bosses here at five. I had good bosses at at

(47:58):
path Mark and Staten Island, you know. And I also
had really bad bosses, you know. I had bad bosses
at ESPN. I had had bad bosses at Direct TV
and bad bosses NFL Network. Uh. And that was just
the way it was. But I never wanted to fight
any of them at all. I mean, I see the
things that in the right moment and want to throw

(48:21):
a punch at them like that. That's how I think.
Like there's things I would have wanted to say, but
mainly I just wanted I just wanted the people who
were like that fired. Yeah. I just assumed that the
war of words was gonna escalate into pugilism. Now we're
just gonna fight you. You and I We're gonna fight you. No.
I just I just got to the point where and
this is everybody is different. I never grew up a fighter.

(48:44):
I think I was in two fights in my life,
and I think I lost one and I tied one one.
I was in three fights, I lost one, tied one
in one one. That's kind of where I'm at. So
I'm one one in one in fights, and I think
I stopped. My last fight was in third grade a
week for pay per view, Smith and arm and we
gotta break that one thing. We gotta we gotta ruin
that somehow. Yeah, no, I'm not, I'm okay. I mean

(49:06):
in third grade was my left No, fourth grade was
my last? Was a long time, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
tied a fight in third grade with a kid who
was in second grade, but he was tough, he was
taller than me. That was about a tie. Then I
won my fight in third grade and that was my
last fight. It sounds like we were watching a little
Harry Potter where uh no, no, no, no, where you
had the kids, the Dursley Dursley guy, he's hanging out

(49:30):
with all his buddies, like he beat up a fifth
grade of today and one of them. Yeah he deserved
this one deserved it though. But mainly I when I
when I see these plots that I just can't for
whatever reason, they weren't good bosses, you could, you could
see right through them, because I'm pretty much a low
maintenance employee, right you know, the places I've worked here,

(49:51):
I'm like, I want to do my thing, I want
to do great shows, and I want to go home.
You know that. That's me. I'm low maintenance, and I
get that the squeaky wheel always gets the grease effort.
But but that's but that's just not who I am.
Which is fine, That's just who I am. But I
also can tell when bosses are being real, when they're fake,
when they're just doing something because they really are out

(50:12):
of their depth and they're bad managers of people, whatever
it is. But I never wanted to find out wanting
them to be fired and seeing them gone, Yeah, I
can't say. I don't want that. I can't say. And
you know what, a lot of them have been a
lot of them have been a lot of it's okay,
all right, let's see, let's see. And then the best revenge,
they always say, is living well. And I look at

(50:32):
my you know here continuing on in the middle of
my career in football and football, in in radio and television,
and seeing these people who were bad bosses and seeing
them you know now doing the things they should be doing,
which was not running uh you know, bigger programs or
bigger things. But as far as the whole like, and
do I get that angry because you know, Chris Davis

(50:53):
is piste off of Brennan Hyde for some reason. You
know there's some long standing underbelly because when you want
to go at it with your manager, it's not just
the one time thing. Wait, you're pinch hitting for me.
Oh come on, you know it's something out there. But
I've never gotten to that point where it's like, Okay,
you and me, we're gonna settle it. We're gonna fight,
We're gonna fight. It's gonna happen. Now it's gonna end
badly and probably uh stunt, the rest of your career

(51:16):
maybe ended, depending on how bad. If you fight a
manager who's gonna sign you. Well, but just in our
case as well, right, I mean to someone else, you
might be a Jack and I and now you're scuffling
trying to find you. If Chris Davis was a guy
who had thirty two home runs and he wanted to
fight a manager and he got waived, he'd get picked up. No, no,
but that's just one earlier this year. Yes, but there's

(51:40):
one thing in Chris Davis's pocket in all of this
is that he's still got a huge contract that they
have to pay off. Oh, it doesn't matter, he's still
got three more years. If you send me home, I
win because I don't have to be around this anymore
while we get bluntoned by the Yankees and everybody else
for seven more weeks. If I stay here, you pay
me and be miserable, but I'll still be getting It's

(52:01):
still I'm still gonna get paid either way, right whatever,
what was it the Lebron years ago? Whatever you do,
you still have to go to work tomorrow and I'll
be enjoying my life for whatever. Chris Davis kind of
has that in his back pocket here to fight the manager.
Either way, I'm winning because it's guaranteed money. And you
want to fight the players here and you go on

(52:22):
ahead and have it. But yeah, nine home runs, thirty

news apparently, if you really want to toughen up your kids,

(53:53):
sending to marshaw on Lynch's football camp, or just say
hello to the guy waiting for us now on the
hotline and her in chief at fansided dot com and
Pro Football Hall of Fame voter. He is Jason Cole.
What's happened to Ja Cole? Life is beautiful? Just remember
that Jason Cole is a Hall of Fame voter. At

(54:14):
the end of this conversation, Oh good, so now you
it's like you're doing the warning, so I don't need
to do it now I'm self trolling. Now, let me
ask when you when you voted, did anybody bring up
the interviews you do with us? Because I had I
thought that would be something they would go, Hey, you know,
we really we don't like some of this. Bring that
up to my own character before, Jason, why would I

(54:39):
risk losing my ballot by admitting that I do this
show on a weekly basis. We could use some extra
promo to No, buddy, come on, now, it's right. How
did nobody do that? Who's the guy you didn't vote
for for the Hall of Fame this year? Who we

(54:59):
can one person didn't vote for Richard Seymour. Okay, didnavo
for Richard Seymour? I can't believe something. I could be
convinced or in the right situation, but he wasn't in
this class. He wasn't worthy. No, no, and that's okay.
I'm just surprised as someone who was pro Richard Seymour.

(55:20):
After you said no, not Richard Seymour, didn't say, well,
listen to what this guy did on the Fox Sports
radio with these two knuckleheads at night and they played
one of your interviews and they go, yeah, no Richard
Seymour as they pipe it into the room every time.
My favorite was this the last couple of weeks because

(55:41):
it's it's like that season again where all the guys
who know everybody's favorite who's not in the Hall of Fame,
whether it's like Zach Thomas or you know, Tom Flores
or you know whoever, somebody wants to get in the
Hall of Fame and like they blast, you know, they
blast us and the guys who were like pro Zach Thomas,

(56:02):
so like going, you know, why isn't he in if
her lacquer is in? And they're doing the comparison stat
stuff and it's like, okay, well, you know, like what
share whatever, um, and they're like, how is he not in?
I go because it's a really hard process. And this
guy starts making Oh it's a hard process. Yes, it's
a hard process. What do you want to say? And
he's like ripping me. I go, And finally, I just said,

(56:22):
you do realize that I think that Zach Thomas is
deserving a discussion and possibly being in the Hall of Fame.
But you're ripping me one of the few guys who
wants to get him in the room to be discussed. Right,
do you think that's a good strategy. I'm gonna upset
the guy who can stand up and say, hey, let's
put this guy in. I pretty much the guy's entire career.

(56:47):
I can tell you why I think he deserves a
strong consideration. I'm not saying that Zach is clearly a
Hall of Fame, but he deserves strong consideration, certainly more
than they ever had. I'm the one guy who saw
his pretty much the entire career. But no, you're gonna
rip me that's a great nights a bald strategy, Cotton.
All right, well, hey, so help us shed a little

(57:10):
bit of light on this situation, because we find out
today from one of your former best friends, Chris Simms,
who was the first to report this yesterday, Antonio Brown's
feet look the way they do because of a bad
cryotherapy appointment in which he wasn't wearing the right garments
on his shoes, so his feet looked the way they
do and this is why he has not been able
to practice. Um, maybe he was trying to have a

(57:35):
seance with Walt Disney. Okay, that's that's bringing together some
southern California term right there, good stuff, the Lord of
the Lord that the frozen head with the feet frozen
all it's right there. Cryogenics maybe, well you missed last.
Brown wants to live forever and um rude, uh, it's

(57:58):
a small small world, you know. It's just it's a
small world. It's just it's a small world. Yeah, it
broke down. I think it's been ages. It's been ages
since I've been on that ride. Now that's time I
wrote it. I sat in Hawaii for twenty five minutes.
It was almost like the border. I was trying to stop. Yes,
it was the music still, Yes, Oh my god, how

(58:20):
did you not kill yourself? No? No, listen to swim.
That's the best ride. Yeah, that was the joke. But
that's the best ride at Disneyland because it's so safe conditioned,
it's so and it takes forever going to hang out,

(58:41):
but the whole time you're staring at it like it
couldn't have been like a challenge of being on the
matter of horn and happened. Sort of climb your way down. Now,
that could have been fun. I'm watching a hula. Do
you think they have ropes if you get caught on
the matter horn? Do they give you ropes? You need
to have to like try and find a way that
that would be good. That'd be like a reality TV show.
Way to go, Jason Cole. Last night we're talking about counting.

(59:09):
We'll get down a lie. Well, this was strictly a
Chris Sims story. Last night we talked about guy Fianny
who was at Hard Knocks Camp, could like just cut
some of the dead skin off of Antonio Brown's feet first,
like you were expecting, like, oh yeah, out of control right, Yeah,

(59:30):
Instead it was hey, we have, we don't have enough
for one episodes. We're gonna show them John Madden stuff
from twenty years ago. Well we got the man. Like
the best that could have probably done was Welcome to
Flavor Town. That's about he could have made a good
dish with like the dead skin off Antonio Brown's feet
that you could have just put it in a grating

(59:50):
that like if you gonna do that, talk about like
flash freezing ice cream or something like that. That was
that's appropriate. You know why we can do it because
we don't have Hall of Fame votes. We can go
over the top and bring you with us. I do
get is that bringing going over the top or is
it being dragged down by the way you have to
repel down exactly if Antonio Brown with his feet in

(01:00:19):
his current condition could repel down the matter. Let me
ask this, though Jason stuck there for weeks. Do you
buy the story? Do I buy the story? That? Yeah?
I buy the story because like it's stupid enough, like
how else do you get your blisters on your feet
like that hot Cole challenge running on hot sand? I'm sorry, right, well, yeah,

(01:00:47):
I mean walking on charcoal? Um, But wouldn't you just
have to stand on the charcoal to do that. But
doesn't frost bite affect the toes? Alright, if that point
isn't either story equally stupid, No, that's right either way,
it's it's still just okay. He was in Hawaii walking

(01:01:09):
on hot coals, or he did cryostasis on his feet
to join Walt Disney, which one is less ridiculous. Well,
the second one gets him a little bit of love,
because at least it's in the under the auspices. No, no, no,
the correct answers. It's a small, small world, the correct burger.

(01:01:38):
He's not their quarterback. No. The right answer is I
love whatever. Whatever. He doesn't even listening. He's just doing
his own show. Now, he's doing his own show. It's
Derek er get it right, it's Derek. I need more targets, Dad,
Did we move? Yeah? We don't live in Pittsburgh anymore?
All right? Because you know, all right now, I didn't

(01:01:59):
know that. You gotta tell me those things, Dad, I
thought he I thought he burned his feet on the
like the fire that was keeping the hot air balloon going.
And that's what I was suspicious of. But this, I
want to believe the cryos, cryos status or whatever thing

(01:02:21):
it is, you know, cryogenics, whatever you have that, I
want to believe. I want to believe that. So I'm
willing to suspend whatever reality might actually be. You know again,
it's either that or it's walking on hot coals. Either
one is equally stupid. Can I can I give you
my Chris Berman line on this? No? Please, don't know.

(01:02:42):
I have to. I have to for three hours the
other night. I would rather have you do Jerry Jones
and do chrisper and Chris Burman on Hall of Fame.
You know how bad it is here Chris Berman on
Hall of Family. Do you know? Like that is the
like I would rather way, I would rather I would

(01:03:03):
rather be on the Deer Hunter playing um Russian Roulette.
Who I would be rather called? Wow? Whoa whoa? The
introductions at the Hall of Fame Wow. And I was
just gonna say, t J from from the Hot Air Balloon,

(01:03:27):
Antonio Brown getting cold feet with the Oakland Raiders. Come on,
it's pretty good like that, right. We are joined as
always every week by Jason Cole. He is the editor
in chief at fanside of dot com And what else

(01:03:47):
do you do? Jason, I forget. I vote for the
Tiddley Wings Hall of Fame. I do play by play
of the Burmans. Oh yeah, clearly, uh yeah, Berman and
Jeff Fisher. But the two people I like, I like

(01:04:08):
just personally. He's a nice guy. But he's a nice guy. No,
But you know, I just he has a terrible legacy
because who wants to have worked to say that their
their entire career was spent with Bud Adams and Stan
Cronkie as your owners. I'd tell you you can't can

(01:04:33):
trust sometimes you have bad bosses. And how we talked
about that earlier in the show about having bad bosses. Yep,
that's part, that's part of the deal. I mean, look,
I know they went to the Super Bowl last year
and put it all together. But Stan Cronkie's I think
he's owned professional five, five or four professional teams for
like a combined sixty years or something like that, and

(01:04:53):
he has one championship. It's like Cleveland their last title
was in fifty so they won in sixty two, and
then the Cavaliers one. Sure the hockey No I'm talking
about like the Browns. Okay, yeah, No, I actually wanted

(01:05:22):
to ask you this listens as you go around and
everything going on in the camps. We have the first
full slatey games going on tomorrow night. What what's the
one storyline? And it could be Jets related. It's okay
if you want to say that, what's the one story
that you are most interesting? It could be seeing a
player on the field, it could be a hold out.
What's the one story you like the most? Oh, the

(01:05:43):
pressure that's on the cowboys, um with the whole c
Kelly thing, because they're putting up such a really good
front on it, like they're trying to tell you that
oh all as well. You know. It's like, um, Kevin
Bacon at the end of of Animal House, right, like,
oh whoa cool? Come on, It's like he's about to
be trampled. I mean, that's that's what That's what I

(01:06:05):
get the feeling that Jerry, that's what's going on in
Jerry Jens's mind, okay, because he's like, we gotta get
this guy in, I gotta win, I gotta put the chimney.
Wasn't the only one who could win, you know, and um,
you know, so he's kind of freaking out. Now we're
not we're not completely at the total freakout stage. We're
about two weeks maybe three weeks from that, but the
freak out is going to eventually come and Jerry is

(01:06:26):
gonna say, we need to get this guy in. And
that's I just love the pressure game. Now. The one
is Zeke Ellett is willing to sort of hold his
ground on this one. It could be really really fun.
I did that. I mean just that we we've got
him zipping around in Cabo in a golf cart. We
you know, people got to weigh at him on there

(01:06:47):
towards Hey, Zeke Elliott. And because you can't miss the hair,
I'm having a bit of problem with the patent office
for the Cowboy bucks. So these are just going to
be Jerry Bucks that we wind up paying Zeke in. Now.
Now it means I can put my face on need
denominations and when it gets to the coins, you asked
for it, well as as you didn't do it. Okay,

(01:07:08):
that's okay, I talked, can't subject myself to this crap
if I have to do that's that's that's how it is. No, No,
don't try and defend it. You know it's terrible, you know,
in your heart of hearts. But that is just god
awful yourself. I heard him. I saw him for the

(01:07:29):
first time of the day. He was just saying back
to do that on another radio station to get paid,
They would pay you in Cowboy Bucks. Well, I mean
you might be able to get somebody to take them.
I mean, just even if you went to a memorabilia
you look limited issues would be the tenor of Troy
on the twenty to the highest if you did, excluding

(01:07:52):
Jerry obviously because he's on the million dollar Cowboy Bucks
and the five million dollar bill too. Yeah, and the
twenty million I bought this team for a hundred twenty
five million ants worth five billion dollars. Now I'm not
on the bill lower than a million dollars down that
would be I don't like to I don't like to
show off my ability to do math. But that's a
twin of taps multiplier. Um so actually you know it's

(01:08:15):
not twenty it's forty times multiplier. My bad. So anyways,
aside from math to challenge math with Jason Cole, what
else are we gonna do here? Yeah? Who would be
the highest? Like non Jones on a Cowboy Stevens gonna
be on a hundred dollar bill, so that I said, no,
not starting not Charlotte, Like I'm not sorry, Jerry Jr.

(01:08:36):
Gets to be on a buck He's not even involved.
Would it be would be Roger? Would it be Troy?
Would it be one of Jerry's guys? Would it be emmett?
Um Charles Haley for the fun of it? Like um
naked Charles Haley on the on the Cowboy buck? Um?
What would what would who would be? These are all players?

(01:08:57):
Aren't not familiar? These are the kinds of questions I
really concerned myself with Checking Johnson got a phone call
from Doug Cosby and I said, listen, I can't put
you on a bill, big old Newton. There you go.
He's a guy that drove that truck that had the
with Kevin on the next one. Can't have those guys on. No.

(01:09:19):
We got Troy on the twenty, uh, Stephen on the hundred,
and I promised Dak I'd put him on the fifty.
So that's kind of where we're at. The seventy five
dollar bill is still up. In the end, came to
your contract for twelve million dollars a year. Down with that,
it'll be excellent Marii Cooper is on the thirty five
dollar bill, and uh, that's something that's gonna we're putting.

(01:09:42):
What about change? Who's on the Is there any change?
Lincoln Coleman is going to be on the on the
on the Bickers guy to Jerry jo Brand, where do
you put Evan? E's your equban He's on the wait list.
We got a lot of people that want to be
on these So this is the worst radio that has

(01:10:04):
ever happened. It is radio. I think Jason non sect
it is non sequit, or rather non sequitor. I cut
in a reference to the hitch Backers guy to the Kel.
I was gonna ask him to look at Jerry Jones impression. Yeah,
I was going to ask you a question about Kyler
Murray and that really just got blown up. Murray, Um,

(01:10:26):
what do we want to say about Kyler Murley? Do
I have enough time to say? Who's a Kyler Murley fellow?
I thought he still available? Who's mur him? I want
to I want to be able to draft him. We
can wait until after he gets terrorized by Kingsbury's offense.
When they realized that nobody can block in that system,

(01:10:47):
that the dark Carter guy. Can I get He'll be
looking at I'll be looking over. Do we block anybody
in this? He is the editor in chief Advance at
dot com. Seven people don't running at Tyler Bury decided
to kill him. Keep talking Pro Football Hall of Fame

(01:11:10):
voter Jason Cole, Kyler Murray someday, but I know or
the Murley fellow. He's pretty good too. I think that's
his brother in law. He's pretty We had him rated
very high on our draft board. But we gotta say
a good morning to you, Jason Cole. He's a Hall

(01:11:34):
of Fame vote. He's a Hall of Fame voter. Coming
up next. Games haven't started yet, and already some NFL
coaches are on the hot seat, like there's odds is
the first one to be fired. Find out who that
is coming up next on the Fox Network. I won't
make some glory. Be sure to catch live editions of

(01:11:56):
pm Eastern seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the I Heart Radio while Fox Sports Radio The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon that body.
We haven't really gotten into preseason yet. We've had one game.
We have a big slate of games tomorrow night. So

(01:12:19):
jacked up, excited. I'm gonna have all my notes ready,
but already know you got look Levian Bell plays. That's
all we need for tomorrow. That's all we need. We're
gonna have Kyle Kyler Murray running for his life or
Kyler quite Merlin, because if he's gonna pull off any

(01:12:39):
heroics in that Arizona offense, he's gonna have to be
a wizard. I like that. Wasn't he the guy that
would make those threes for Phoenix and Miami? Murley wasn't
at him? Yeah? He was Jack Dad Dan Murley. Wasn't
it good? I like Dan Merley? And then he was
the ghost. It wasn't Oh no, he was the guy
that is it right? Wasn't at him? The Ebenezer grooges

(01:13:00):
around and the guy that he you know, screwed out
of making money. Wasn't that him? Marley? Wasn't that him?
And he did that song right, Everything's gonna be all
right song? He did that one too. We're still a
few hours away from the first slate of games, but
already bookmakers have put out the favorites to be the
first NFL coaches fired in two thousand nineteen. Here's the

(01:13:25):
list of the most likely to least likely. Of the
top ten. Most likely to be fired is Jay Gruden
of the Redskins. Then it's Pat Shermer. Jay Gruden had
three to one, Pat Shermer seven to one, Matt Patricia
at ten to one. Then you have Bill O'Brien, Dan Quinn,
and Doug Morone. Of all six of those, I can

(01:13:47):
see all of them being fired if the seasons don't
go their way, all six of them. Jay Gruden, yes,
Pat Shermer, yes, Matt Patricia, Yes, Bill O'Brien. We'll have
that enough chance to try to make it work, has it,
Dan Quinn as well? Are we coming down the other
side of the mountain, yes, Doug Marone, Yes, the Jaguars
will want to fresh start. I can see all of

(01:14:07):
them being let go. The top six favorites from three
to one down to sixteen to one, I can see
all of them being fired. Thing with Jake Gruden, the
question is does he get an extra extra year because
Dwayne Haskins is there and some guys next year, like
like the other guys in the top ten list or
Adam Gaze and Mike Zimmer fired. Adam Gateses is gonna

(01:14:28):
get He's gonna get another year, and Mike Zimmer will
get another year for the end of Kirk Cousins contract,
and then they'll start over with a new coach, new
quarterback after that. But Jake Gruden's had a lot of time.
I can see all these guys gone, gone, gone, gone, gone,
one after another, and then the battle begins, the battle
royal for these successors. I can't wait to see the Giants, Lions, Texas, Falcons,

(01:14:49):
Jaguars all could be looking twitter at out out of Fresca.
Mike Hats swollen down The Jason Smith Show with Mike

to fight his manager story coming up in a few minutes.

(01:16:22):
But speaking of the Dodgers, we saw something today that
I really hope everybody is appreciating the insanity that comes
with every Dodger game when the Dodgers bat in the
ninth inning at home because it seems like it's only
ten but I feel like the Dodgers have like thirty
walk off wins. Sure sure it. When it I saw

(01:16:44):
the graphic go up that it was only their tent,
I was absolutely shocked. Like week five and a two
week place. It wasn't the three straight days of a week.
It was like Will Smith right, Maxim was on these
heroes and guys popping out of the needs to to
find their way to glory. Absolutely, I mean ginger guard
pitch today, Dustin May was pretty good. Uh went five

(01:17:07):
and two thirds innings, only gave up. Uh, I didn't
give up an earned run today. And the Dodgers down
one in the ninth inning. But it doesn't matter. Whatever
the Dodgers are down in the ninth he'll he'll come
through too. And to the Martin Brown ball up the
middle in the center Peel Probace hit here, Clem Seeger
and here Clem Smith, and the Dodgers have won it

(01:17:30):
again in the bottom of the night. Charlie stein or
a and five seventy l A sports on the call.
I mean, I mean it every It's every day the
Dodgers have a walk off win. And there's the school
of thought that I can already hear people saying, hell,
you keep relying on that. By the time you get
to October, you can't just think they're gonna suddenly win

(01:17:52):
every game. But I see it differently because I see
when you get to October and the game gets to
the ninth inning and a team is trying to protect
a one run lead, it's in the back of their
heads they know, you know what, the Dodgers win games
like this all the time, and the Dodgers know, hey,
we've done this so many times this year, this is

(01:18:12):
gonna happen. We just didn't do. Nobody panic this is
gonna happen, and the team you're playing against realizes. Stadiums
going crazy, they're all expecting something good to happen. And
maybe you're a little too fine with your first couple
of pitches. You wind up walking the lead off batter
that turns into a stolen base or a sacrifice, and
then there's a double, and then suddenly the game is

(01:18:33):
tied and the winning run is on second. You can't
discount how important it is and what kind of intangible
that is. When a team knows we can walk off
no matter what the score is, and the opponent knows
they can walk off at any time, and you get tight,
you get nervous, because that's just the nature of the beast.
You know, you're not just gonna walk into the ninth
thing and Dodgers Stadium and go. It doesn't matter. It
doesn't matter. No, everybody knows. Everybody is human. Everybody knows

(01:18:56):
the Dodgers are doing when they play at home, if
there down to run, if it's tied, if they're down
three runs, just doesn't matter. Well they don't, they don't stop.
I mean, that's one of the things that even outside
if you're not a Dodger fan, you still have to
appreciate what this team has been and you have to
scratch your head as to how every guy that gets
plugged in seems to have been plugged in into the

(01:19:18):
right spot, even when they're changing guys positions. And defensively,
it's like he hasn't played there. Now it doesn't matter.
He's now, he's not a liability at all. Offensively, everybody
has found their stripes, and certainly at home, their forty
six and bleep and fifteen. I mean, just an absurd
level of efficiency, which means all fifty thousand plus are

(01:19:40):
there until the end of games, there's no leaving early
because the dramatic come from behind victories and those Hollywood
moments have been plentiful. A lot of people in there
like because they want to leave earlier. They want to leave.
I want you don't want to stand for the for
the seventh inning stretch and then I want to leave
and get all the end. Got to celebrate the whole

(01:20:05):
thing and run differential of one three. I think the
one area of concern that folks haven't even though the
bullpens righted itself right, there's been an awful lot of
of things written by Az and you know, all your
relievers that everybody was so nervous about early in the season,
that's all right at itself. All those numbers have come

(01:20:25):
back into the the proper era area of your e
r A and and just being able to get your
holes because you gotta get your holds in, uh, no
question about that. And even even the much maligned Joe
Kelly talk about since June one, he's had a sub
to e r A with a heavy strikeout total. She
got that rolling for you. I think that the one

(01:20:47):
thing that does concern Dodger fans to a degree and
has Baseball on the edge of their seat, going, Okay,
we'll see in October, right, do those hits show and
and like we talked about having players with playoff experience
and that tested and showing shown their metal in big moments.
Certainly the Dodgers have plenty of those guys, and they've

(01:21:09):
been in those spots. But the fear is that you
have that third October issue and suddenly, you know, as
we've talked about in the past, you're you're being compared
to the Bills. So that that certainly runs in that
baseball being a game of of averages and things evening
themselves out, that at some point that heroic hint in

(01:21:30):
the ninth doesn't rear its head and suddenly, even though
it's a nail bier close game, that they're on the
downside of it. I think that's where Dodger fans, given
the hate recent history, have a little bit of nervousness
that might be justified Twitter. I how about a Fresca
Mike hat swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my
biss friend Mike Carmen, as I say, if the Dodgers

(01:21:52):
don't win the World Series this year, what are they
going to do it. This is their year. It also
looks like it could be the year if Colin Kaepernick
has his way and he comes out of retirement, well
not really retirement, forest retirement. Kaepernick putting out on his
Twitter account earlier today a video which begins with him
with the video saying he has been denied work for

(01:22:14):
eight eighty nine days, and then goes into Colin Kaepernick
working out and as he writes, five am every day,
five days a week for the past three years, he's
still working out, still wants to come back to the
National Football League. Colin Kaepernick has to realize it's over.
He still has not, and honestly, he just has to stop.

(01:22:36):
He's got to stop with the I'm being denied work
part of it. All right, This storyline reared its head
for a year and a half. Colin Kaepernick is blackballed
from the National Football League, and there are people who
would stand up and defend it like they're defending a
loved one who who is about to be sent off
to the greatest parts of Antarctica, never to be seen again.

(01:22:57):
Colin Kaepernick is being black bald, and what did I
say the entire time? If he's being blackballed. It'll get out,
It'll get out. There will be somebody who will say,
I have emails. There will be somebody who is upset
they were fired from a team, saying I was in
for a conversation, I was here for this. We would
have known. Kaepernick sued the NFL. They were going to court.

(01:23:17):
He was going to go through and expose everything, right,
because that's who Colin Kaepernick was. Colin Kaepernick was the
idol everybody thought he is, and he was gonna go
and expose everybody. And he was gonna say, everybody is
black balling me, and I have all the proof. And
then what happens. Oh, he settles with the NFL for
less than ten million dollars, settles for money, and walks away.

(01:23:40):
And now that he decided to settle instead of proving
because it was such a big deal he was blackballed.
I'm gonna go prove it. But now I'm gonna settle.
Why do you settle if you if you're you got
the proof, right, you got the proof you're black balled,
So why don't you go all the way through it.
You get more money, you get what you want, you
get everything you want, But no I settled for ten
million dollars. And that's the question, right, what was that settlement, right,

(01:24:02):
because it was rumored initially that it was some forty
fifty million dollars who wanted to he wanted to say,
see local courts, colored capit cup paid. I would take
fifty dollars with less than ten time, right, would have
been higher level quarterback money for two to three years,
is what was rumored. And then it started leaking that

(01:24:25):
the likely pay out was somewhere between eight and ten
million dollars. And so you you filed the grievance, you
sued the league, and nothing came out. I mean, that's
that's the hard part, right in a in a league
where we get leaks. I mean, you've got coaches now
on record, Freddie Kitchens and he leaks. I'm firing y'all.
But everything gets out, even the cockamami Antonio Brown cryotherapy thing,

(01:24:48):
that that got out very fast. Oh he's got bad feet.
I mean, what the hell did he do to his feet?
He showed everybody put it on. Nobody's hobbling around, but
he showed the feet. He didn't have to cop to cryotherapy.
That that that's what the raiders. That's what it would
agree to, right. But in this case, if you're talking
about a league wide conspiracy and agreement, there's got to

(01:25:11):
I mean, how many coaches have lost jobs, how many
people have been taken out of meeting rooms and their
playbooks taken away, digital copies and and iPads or whatever else,
someone would have said something at this point. It doesn't
mean It doesn't mean you didn't have some teams that
flat out said, look, I'm not doing it and I'm
not getting involved, right, and you didn't know we're going

(01:25:31):
for a full league. You were saying, the NFL is black,
but I'm gonna blow the lid off of this and instead, oh,
I'll take a settlement of less than ten millions. Now,
why would the NFL do it? Probably, and I'm not
going to make excuse for it. Probably things would come
up in discovery that they wouldn't be proud of that
I wouldn't want out there, certainly. But also from a

(01:25:52):
cost perspective, with the amount of lawyers and billable hours
get involved with a lawyer for five all of you know,
all of you out there were billing in with in
with legal at all. You know that that can start
to rack up on you, there's no question about it.
So you start doing a cost benefit analysis as well,
not just what might show up that has nothing to

(01:26:13):
do with the Kaepernick case at all but is discovered
on a cell phone or an email thread, but also
the fact that you're talking about tons of time, man
hours and buildable hours that you finally just come to
a cost and figure out from our our tables, what
what is this worth to us to make it a
done deal? And that's where they got to and certainly

(01:26:35):
Kaepernick and his representatives they agreed to it, and all
of that is stuff we have talked about. But now
to come out again and say, oh, eight d eighty
nine days I've been denied work, Just stop, dude, just stop.
You took a payout, you took money, all right, You
could have proven your case. You could have proved got
everybody wrong, could have proven this guy wrong, everybody wrong.

(01:26:55):
But no, now it's oh yeah, still being denied work. Dude.
Come on, man, you just to stop with this. You
just have to stop. Look, we talked about it earlier
in the show. When it comes to people like Marshawn Lynch,
is everything. Marshawn Lynch does great. No, he does some
bad things. What he did his football camp with something
we're gonna get into the next hour on the show
again was pretty bad. Is everything Colin Kaepernick did bad? No?

(01:27:18):
Did you do some really good things? Of course he does.
But you can't talk about one part without talking about
the other. You can't just ignore one part of things.
Colin Kaepernick has done some really good things. He's also
done some really bad things. And this is a case
of now you want to play the victim again that

(01:27:39):
you've been shut out when you had your chance to
prove to everybody, and now you still want to go, Yeah,
I got pat being denied work being just just stop man.
Colin Kaepernick is what you would, I would call a
false idol, someone who you think he stands for something
and he really stands for other things. Look when he
brought the kneeling during the ash lanthem to our country's attention,

(01:28:02):
it was a big deal. It was a great debate
because it was about the treatment of black people at
the hands of white police officers, and we had to
have that conversation that had to go on, that had
to happen. Things things were happening. It still happened that
are that our conversations that we have to have that
and that was important what he did, but he's also
done some other things that really hasn't put anything and

(01:28:26):
made it better. Does he really need to wear pig
socks of of police officers who nine point nine of
police officers in the country do great things? But no,
I'm going to use my platform to do this. He's both.
And now when everybody wanted to stand up and say
this is who Colin Kaepernick is, No, he's a guy

(01:28:46):
that took the money. He took the money when he
had a chance to say, all right, you're all behind me,
I'm gonna blow the doors off of everything. I'm gonna
I'm gonna tell everybody what's going on in the NFL.
I was black balled other players. Oh well, I I
took the money. At the end, okay and out hey,
I'm still being but no, stop, you just gotta stop
going a different direction. Do something. He got pushed into
this and he wasn't ready. So he did probably the

(01:29:08):
best job he thought he could in trying to lead
a movement. But he's been silent, he's not been working,
he's not been in the NFL. He could have been
a huge leader of continue to be a huge leader
of this movement, but instead he has been invisible on
a national stage for the better part of three years
when he could have been doing we could have been
doing more. So realize it's not just I'm not anti

(01:29:29):
Colin Kaepernick, it's you have to talk about Colin Kaepernick
and be fair. And we talk about the good things,
and you can't just brush away the bad things because
you don't want to talk about him. I mean, that's
the way you gotta be fair on when when we
talk about players, and that's what we've done with him. Well,
and you pull in the the whole discussion we had
the Bashadi and ray Lewis photo. I mean, just go
on down the line that his girlfriend comparing him to

(01:29:51):
a slave owner, and it's the tie directly, and it
goes into into a lot of it. And going back
to his quarterback play. Does anybody believe some of these
players have been signed were necessarily better than he was
back in No, But there's a lot that goes to
it in terms of employment beyond would you be a

(01:30:13):
third stringer? Well, every time a fourth stringer got signed,
I was here's another quarterback who got a job. Is
Colin Kaepernick gonna take a job for a week with
a team who needs a camp arm and the guy's
gonna get waived? Of course not. You can't just throw
a guy out there getting signed and say, oh, Colin
kaberi better became part of the list. Here are the
number of players that have been signed. And now you're
more than two years removed from from last throwing a football,

(01:30:36):

Indeed coming up next, the number one story of the night,
Midge League baseball player wants to fight his manage during
the dugout. This is Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to

(01:31:19):
catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike
harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. Some
kind of into the third season is Stranger Things a
couple episodes in, and you know what it is, no
spoiler alert, but it's a lot more fun than the
last season was. You know, they're so the kids are

(01:31:40):
so watchable that even when the plot is moving a
little slow, as long as they're doing entertaining things, it
seems like it's flying by third season but way better.
First season is incredibly good. Second season was so disappointed
and has been has been enjoyable. Okay, I need a

(01:32:01):
little bit more action, but it's been enjoyable so far. Yeah,
my my kids have be watching a crazy thing on
the YouTube premium thing that's called Escape the Night again
during period pieces and right right, the White Sox try
to escape the seller. Oh sorry, all of a sudden,
your team plays well for two and a half bleep

(01:32:22):
in weeks. That's the king of the world for you.
Joining us now on the hot line we'll talk about
the biggest story in sports tonight, which is Chris Davis
wanting to fight his manager in Baltimore. Longtime Baseball insider,
friend of the show, former Mets pre and postgame host.
It is Seth Effort. Seth, what's happening, buddy? What's going on? No,

(01:32:42):
Prince intro? No, well, no, pretty well, well, we're almost
gonna play Meet the Mets for you, since you know,
the Mets haven't lost, and the you know, they may
never lose again, they might not. Well, they'll play good
teams eventually. No, no, no, we got the Royals coming
up again. We'll play the White Sox again. Shut up,
We'll play the Pirates again. He's just trying to do.

(01:33:03):
You know what the line was the last week when
I was on your show, I made a point and
I still stand by the point that baseball needs to
revise its compensatory draft pick situation, because what's better Zach
Wheeler playing an appendent race or being with the Mets.
You guys laughed. So what happens the Mets win thirteen

(01:33:24):
of fourteen and Zach Wheeler's independent race with the Mets?
I wonder if Zach Wheeler has a Twitter account, maybe
he'll block me to Well, I'm waiting for the Mets, Dodgers,
n LDS now and that all that and that pitching
matchup that's going to happen. Oh, I can't wait, seth,
I'll come out. Well, we'll go to the game. Well,
and then we'll have dinner afterwards. Hey, three more outs

(01:33:44):
and the Mets are a half game out of the
wild Card because the Phillies are getting pounded by the
Diamondbacks here for nothing in the other way, can I
can I make fun of Fox Television for a second? Okay, Well,
have your finger on the dump button, right, go ahead,
when you're doing a promo, and the best you can
come up with is Phillies, Giants and Rockies Padres. You
might wanted to say three weeks to college football. Well, listen,

(01:34:05):
it's obvious that these were recorded before the Mets and
now they're desperately trying to get the Mets on. That's why, Well,
that's okay, s and why demands your attention? Yeah, hey,
obviously the biggest story tonight. Yeah, I'm sure you've seen
the video a couple of times now, Orioles, Chris Davis
and that Chris Davis, not the good one, had to

(01:34:27):
be restrained. During a clash in the dugout with Brandon Hide.
Something happened between the two. Brandon Hyde took him out
of the game, and Chris Davis went nuts and really
looked like he wanted a piece of Brandon Hide, and
teammates had to step in and break it up. Yeah.
I mean, my my initial reaction was, how has this
not happened sooner? You know what I'm saying, Like, I

(01:34:50):
understand professionalism, and I understand the are adults, and I
understand they're paying a lot of money. Even the guys
making the minimum make it half a million dollars, So
let's call us to speed. It is incredibly frustrating being
on the Orioles franchise, and you know that franchise. I mean,
people when they were good, we're criticizing their ownership. They

(01:35:11):
were talking about a revolt. The city of Baltimore has
been through a lot of tumult lately, and Chris Davis
is tired of it. And I just think they all
don't want to be there. And if you look at
the body language, and I haven't been to Candid Yards
this year because I don't have the strength to drive
down there to go watch the bal memorials. Um, you

(01:35:33):
could just sense a lot of dissatisfaction and I know
somewhere and he'll never say it publicly because he's too
classy a guy. Buck Showalter saw that video and was
laughing hysterical. I pointed out, Buck Showalter, you did? You did?
You looked at me like I was crazy. But they
need to say, and Morosi doesn't say that. It's a

(01:35:56):
win win for Chris Davis, right, because they could send
him home for seven weeks he gets paid, or he
could just sit there and watch the fire continue to
burn the roster. He expand the rosters pretty soon, so
he's gonna have to make the trips. Yeah, but not
if they say take a seat. I mean, they owe
him for another couple of years. I mean that they

(01:36:18):
could suspend him. But you know, Jason Vargas tried to
punch a reporter and he didn't get to spend it. Yeah,
but that was the Mets. The reporter had to come on.
That was the Mets. That he was backed up by
his manager, Mickey Callaway, the guy you fired every night.
One thing I want people, do you see about Nightingall

(01:36:39):
wrote that he could be manager of the year. Oh
my god, he's the worst. He's such a horrible manager.
But the Mets just happened to be winning. Now, I mean,
that's really what it is he and he would do.
I can't tell you. I could probably go through the
list of games I'm not lying, and I could find
ten games which he personally cost the Mets by making
a ridiculous bullpen decision. But he didn't sign but no,

(01:37:01):
but he didn't. Look, I don't know him, and I'm
not a fan of his. Uh, just becase for what
he did to Tim Healy. But the fact is that
he didn't sign Familia and he didn't trade for Edwin Diaz.
So the fact of the matter is is, I would
say six of the ten games that you're talking about
are familiar and Diaz alone. And if he doesn't have

(01:37:22):
those those guys, he has those guys in his bullpen,
what else is he supposed to do? No, But there's
games where it's a six two game in the ninth
inning and Edwin Diaz comes in and he throws pitch,
and the design that and then that's all savor of metrics.
But then but then the next night he comes into
pitch in a safe situation and he doesn't have it
and he gets hit and gives it up because he

(01:37:43):
threw twenty five pitches the night before in a game
where you didn't need him. I mean that stuff like that.
Doesn't I see the same game as you do. I
understand that I live in this town. But here's the thing, Um,
Mickey Callaway has puppet strings like he. What I don't
understand is why people And there's a dichotomy. And I

(01:38:04):
think it's an age thing. And I'm not this isn't
meant to be a criticism, but I think there's an
age thing. I think people forty and above still think
of managers like that, Jim Leland's, Tony Larus's, uh, you know,
Billy Martin's Loo Pinellas like they think of that mindset
what you've seen. And it goes through Tory Lavello in
Arizona and Dave Roberts in l a And Craig Counsel

(01:38:26):
of Milwaukee and Alex Cora and Boston and Aaron Boone
with the Yankees and Mickey Callaway and Gabe Kapler of
court Storkle. We forget Gabe Kapler crazy Town, the USA.
But the fact of the matter is is that all
these guys are are conduits for the front office. And
there was a great study done. I'm referencing Bob Nightingale twice. Um,

(01:38:48):
Bob Nightingale did the study last year. In the modern era,
this is the lowest major league salaries have been because
the value of the manager has been diminished. So anytime
it's a manager of this ilk, anytime it's a young
manager who played within five years ago, my response always

(01:39:08):
is do you think he came up with it himself?
I joked that Aaron Aaron Boone can't make a bullpen
move without texting cashment first. Now that's a joke because
that's illegally illegal, But that's the point. But that's the point.
So here's the thing, like, why why was Dave Martinez

(01:39:31):
not fired when Washington could not get out of its
own way back in May, late May, early June? Right,
he wasn't fired because he was doing everything Rizzo and
in the front office was asking him to do and
they couldn't hire. And this is the same reason why
Mickey Callaway wasn't fired. Because if you bring in let's
just say, for the sake of the argument. Let's say

(01:39:52):
you bring in Joe Girardi and start barking the same orders.
Joe Girardi says, you're out of your blanket mind, and
they're the current managers. Don't do that. It's diminished the
value of the manager. Something to be said. I mean, certainly,
Jason and I we we take direction quite well, so
there's something to be said for that. The Dodgers, I know,

(01:40:15):
I know your bosses. They're not allowed at their moments,
ted ted walk off win for the Dodgers at home.
Forty six wins now on the year, Russell Martin home wins, Yes,
forty six home wins, because if they only had forty
six wins would be in the last place. Well, they'd
be what the Mets were two weeks again. And if

(01:40:36):
if they could walk off on the road, that would
be pretty cool too. Yeah. I really just wanted to
get to Russell Martin becoming the latest hero. Uh. It's
a fairy tale year. Uh, but certainly people here in
Los Angeles fear another nightmare ending. Well, I mean, the
five game series is the great equalizer. The best team
doesn't always win. And you know, I made the comment
about a month ago on many different outlets, and I

(01:40:58):
think it was with you guys. It might have been
with with with Dan Buyer. He fills in for you
guys all the time. The they if you're if you're
going to Vegas, because you guys can drive there, right,
if you're going to place a bed, and here's the bed.
That of the top three teams in baseball, right, the
top three teams, arguably the Dodgers, the Astros, and the Yankees,

(01:41:20):
I will tell you that two of them are going
to Baseball's Final Four. That's the LCS. I guarantee you
three aren't, because there's no way. It's not that perfect
and the best team doesn't always win. So the Los
Angeles Dodgers are going to play a wild card team
and they are going to be buoyed by the victory

(01:41:42):
in the wild Card game. And if it's a Nano
Central team, they're gonna have had played six weeks of
NonStop pennant race baseball where the Dodgers don't have to
play a game that they have to win until Game
three of the Division Series. And I don't care who
your manager is, I don't care who you're front offices.
I don't care who your team leaders are. It is

(01:42:03):
human nature. You cannot maintain a level of intensity and
just flip the switch. It's impossible. Longtime baseball insider and
friend of the show, Seth Everett, you can follow Seth
on Twitter at seth Underscore Everett. That's at seth Underscore Everett.
By the way, Yeah, was your Stranger Things rant in

(01:42:24):
the audition for the Hall of Justice podcast? I thought
I was already on the Hall of Justice podcasts. No,
we've decided against a Stranger Things episode because we don't
think there's anything to say outside of it's really cool. Okay, alright,
that's fine, that's fine. See, you know what I'm doing
is I'm reading Powers of X and House of X figuring.
You know, you want to talk about the next the

(01:42:45):
next generation of X Men. Wow, I'm actually impressed. I
don't know if they've googled that while we were on
the air. Oh no, no, no, no, you don't want
to know what they they reboot. No, they they're rebooting
X Men, which is what they need to do. They're
doing it first and Marvel and it's going to be movies.
Oh no, I'm ready, I'm ready. It doesn't have huge Jack.
But it doesn't matter, does ROSSI give you that? No, No,

(01:43:12):
it's gonna be my line for the rest of the season.
Can I give you my John Paul Rosy impression? You're right,
here's my job, Here's here's my JP impression. A lot
of good stuff there from Seth. I respect Seth. I
like Seth. I I think he's wrong. That's pretty good.
I love j I thought he was drifting into Obama.

(01:43:32):
There no, no Obama would be Let let me be clear.
The Mets. The Mets are not very good. Let me
let me be clear about that. Seth is always by appreciated.
My friend will talk soon. People come on the show,
have no idea what to expect? Twitter at how about
a fresco Mike at Swollen done The Jason Smith Show

(01:43:52):
with my best friend Mike Harman. Coming up next, It's
been confirmed it's cryogenic injury for Antonio Brown. But also
guess who says I can be the third star for
the Lakers. That's coming up next. Keep it here Fox.
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

(01:44:15):
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and The I heart
radio app Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with
my bist friend Mike Harmon live from the Guy Co Studios.
And boy, do we have a story coming up for
you in about fifteen minutes involving one of Hollywood's best

(01:44:38):
known actors and what he did earlier today And a
guy who I actually saw at dinner not too long ago,
got that. Did you shake his hand proper? No, there's
a reason why though. There's a reason why coming up.
Promise on that. How about that? That's a tease? First,
we now know who is going to be the Lakers

(01:45:00):
third star this season, or at least according to this person.
In an interview with ESPN, Kyle Kuzma told them, I
don't feel any pressure, but I believe I am capable
of being that superstar. I put a lot of work
in my progress shows I can be there. I developed
every single year dating back to college. I don't see

(01:45:22):
that development stunting at all. Quite honestly, I agree because
I thought Kyle Kuzma would have been a good enough
number two with Lebron James, because you saw the chemistry
that these guys had last year. Lebron James didn't have
chemistry with anybody else on the Lakers except for Kyle Kuzma,
and it showed he would look for him because Kuzma

(01:45:44):
filled the role he wanted. I need a shooter. I
need someone who's gonna run up and down the floor,
and it's gonna be at the spot when I need
to give the ball up there, they're gonna be to
take a shot, whether it's a three or something else.
When he pushed him out on defense, yeah that's right,
he put, that's right, show it. I'm not taking her crap, James,
I'm pushing you out. Who pushed me? Oh, I don't know.

(01:46:04):
There was a referee. Yeah, it was a referee, That's
what was st Scott Foster pushed players that you're gonna
fan os ot of town. How about that? But I
I I thought he could have been a good too.
If the Lakers wanted to go after a bunch of
good players to bring in and make the team deeper,
and said they well, I had to go for Anthony Davis,

(01:46:24):
and obviously that was something they had to do following
how this season unfolded. But I I agree, I I
don't think they needed to go someplace else. Kyle Kuzma
can be that guy. Look, Lebron needs people to be
to fit certain roles. And you know we've heard this
for a long time. Lebron likes players. He needs a
guy that can shoot. He needs the guy that can
do this, needs a guy who can do this. And

(01:46:46):
right away last year Kyle Kuzma and he he just
got it. He understood. Whereas other players had a tough
time fitting in, Brandon Ingram had a tough time fitting
in with Lebron, James, Lonzo Ball tough time. They all did.
And it was only players who had played with him
in against it, familiar with him, that fit in well.
When he and Rondo were on the floor together, it
worked out. But Kuzma was that guy. And I completely

(01:47:09):
agree they didn't need that third star Kyle Kuzma and
a little bit deeper team. That's just fine. Yeah, it's perfect.
Here is that as long as you keep moving off
the ball, you're gonna have a lot of empty space.
With the way defenses have to defend James and Davis
when they're on the court together. You brought in other
people for other specialties, mean and others that can defend

(01:47:32):
That's great. Kuzma does give you some activity there, but
ostensibly you need him to score two points tonight, and
he should be up to that task most nights so
long as the two headliners stay healthy, so sure he's
going to be able to ascend his game. He's gonna
get no credit. And if he misses one of those
big shots or two of those big shots in big moments,

(01:47:54):
he's going to hear about it become the scourge of
the city, and a d is gonna say that he
passed that to me. All if you don't take it,
Lebron and you passed. But that's that's the only potential
downside for him. But certainly all things set up for
him to have a very nice year. Meanwhile, it has
been confirmed by outside sources that it was in fact

(01:48:15):
cryotherapy that made Antonio Brown's feet into that mess of
dead skin that you could just cut off and use
it as soap. Chris Simms had the story a day
ago Pro Football Talks at a familiar sources familiar with
the situation. He went into cryotherapy and didn't have the

(01:48:35):
right footwear, so we got frostbite on his feet. This
has been confirmed earlier today. This is when he was
in France for cryotherapy not too long ago. And you
know this is why everybody who says to me, oh, Jason,
you make fun of Alex tight shirt, for you know,
all the food he eats and the keen Juan, the
kale and all that stuff. Blah blah blah. You know

(01:48:57):
this is why I do it, because just because something
is new fangled and works doesn't mean a it's safe
or be that it really does work. You know, look,
cryotherapy here, great things about it, but obviously, uh Antonio
Brown found a way. It's not idiot pro Israeli when
it comes down to almost lose his feet. So you

(01:49:18):
know it's not It's not something that I always can
look and say, oh, just because it's new me it's great. Look,
I hear from many athletes crowd therapy is awesome. But
is it awesome because you've been told it's awesome and
you're being sold a bill of goods or is it
really good and awesome for you? You know that's anything
new like this because people believe what you tell them,

(01:49:38):
whether hey, eat this, this is a new route that
was found deep deep in the jungles of Antarctica. I
don't you didn't think there were jungles there, but there
are it's like really cold jungles. And this route is
so healthy it can replace sugar and carbohydrates and protein
because it's on a snappy, uh interesting packet that looks

(01:49:58):
like it's got something from a doc there. That's a
great quote. So yeah, obviously I'm gonna be able to
buy this. I'm gonna be really healthy. Who knows if
that really works? No, certainly with cryotherapy. And Jason Cole
was on with us last hour, and you know, it
was always the running joke about Ted Williams and and
Walt Disney, Right, but wasn't that the first you heard

(01:50:20):
of cryo therapy? Will Head? There's that cryotherapy centered down
by by my neck of the woods here in southern California.
What are they trying to sell you on? Longevity and
every exactly, but not just short term ailments and deadening
nerves and and giving you temporary relief from pain, etcetera. No, no, no,

(01:50:43):
they're talking about the great beyond. In this case. You
got a guy, it's just follow the instructions. Here's the
four things you need to do before you get into
the cryo. Maybe they didn't tell he did it on
his own. Maybe you don't know. Maybe maybe then tell
you you're gonna be fine. Oh yeah, you should have
put those booties. No no, no, no, with the contract

(01:51:05):
he just signed, nobody's saying they just walk in there.
He's not even with the team right now, he's getting
if he was doing this crap on his own. Now
you're like, I'm not paying you if you're not gonna
be on the field because of your stupidity, Well, paying
you for those first couple of games should are not
gonna be You should have realized that before you're trained
for there's there's there's different levels of stupidity this thing.

(01:51:28):
If this legitimately cost him games into the season because
he didn't put his booties on and he didn't get
in there properly, maybe he wasn't told maybe so you
could get in with that. Alright, great, I'll do it.
I'm not buying that. You don't know. Why did you
have to go all the way to France for this?
You couldn't do it. You got CROYWD therapy here. They
gotta go to France for France. That's it. That's also
where they do that blood stuff too, and between there

(01:51:49):
in Germany. Germany. Yeah, yeah, well because they do blood
stuff there. It's gotta be great for you know, I
think people get sold bills of goods and they willingly
buy him. How do we create some bill some goods
of our own? Twitter at how about a fresco Mike
and Swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmen coming up next. Something that happened today

(01:52:12):
that's gonna change watching sports on TV as we know it.
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific. Slide over Baby Fox Sports Radio The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. And there's

(01:52:33):
a big story to say that's gonna change how we
watch sports on TV. But I want to mention this,
this is starting to gain a lot of attention. Uh.
Danny Trejo, one of the most famous actors in Hollywood,
one of the best villains, a legend, and a badass,
came to the rescue of a baby that was trapped
in an overturned vehicle in l A. Today was real life.

(01:52:56):
Two vehicles crashed, one rolled over overturned vehicle on its roof,
had a baby strapped in a car seat inside. He
tried crawling through but couldn't get the seatbelt unhooked him
and another bystander able to free the child. And Danny
Trejo is a hero after going in and saving a kid.

(01:53:18):
And the only thing that saved that little kid was
his car seat, he told a photographer on the scene. Now,
Danny Treo, I mean the Chet Day and all movies,
all and Spike Kids, go on down the line. He's
got multiple businesses, he got a donor play, he's got
a taco place, a lot of good stuff. I looked
this up. How many movies do you think he is

(01:53:40):
in that are coming out in and two of them
are delayed and could come out later on this ship.
Fourteen movies this guy's in. Remember when Sam Jackson was
in every movie and that was all things for him,
Sam jack I think he was in the most movies
in the nineties, Sam Jackson, something like that. But Danny
Treo is blowing that. I mean, come on, the guys

(01:54:00):
in four teen movies in one year, and he's just unmistakable.
And he's in a scene. I actually saw him at
dinner about a month ago. We were coming back from
a softball tournament and it was out of town and
we decided to go to Santa Monica, Uh to the counter,
big you know, burger place, Burger chain place to eat,

(01:54:22):
and we go and sit down and I'm sitting down
and then Pama sitting across me, and Zoe's sitting on
my right, and then there's a little aisle way where
the wait staff walks by, and then there's a table
next to us, and I look over next to us
and I go, oh my god, that's Danny Trejo because
he's dressed just like you see him anywhere. He's wearing
the checked button down shirt, short sleeve, and he's got
like a black and white l a hat on. And

(01:54:44):
I'm like, Pam, Danny tree I said, check your phone,
and I'm texting her from right across. Danny Treo is
sitting right next to me, so it's kind of cool.
And then somebody from the table across from his recognized him,
and one of the kids I was a girl, said, daddy,
is he an actor? He's a and then you know,
they start talking as a little embarrassing he as an actor,

(01:55:05):
and then he starts telling her the movies he's in
and it's this girl is like, you know, like eight
years old. He goes, and I'm gonna be in Door
of the Explorer that's coming out. He's Boots, he's the
voice of Boots. He's the daddy. Yeah, he's Boots and
Door of the Explorer going through all these movies and
he's sting and I'm gonna be a Door of the
Explorer coming out. Go see it. It's funny. That was

(01:55:27):
actually part of the pre show conversation that I will
most likely find myself in a theater watching Dora the
Explorer this weekend. Oh you know what, I I think
I missed the I think I missed the bus on
wanting to go swiper no swiping, you know, swiper swipes.
He's got that's what he does. I had no idea
he was gonna be Boots, but I mean from dust down?

(01:55:49):
Did he throw that one from dust? Yeah? He was
a vampire. Oh sorry spoiler, but they're all vampires. And
Salmahiak is so unbelievably hot and Cluney's got the best
two in the world. I'm sorry, I go back. Was fantastic.
I mean he was in Three Headed Shark attack. I'll
go back to my dinner now while you continue to

(01:56:09):
talk to Danny Trejo. Yeah, I mean the Muppets most
wanted he was in there. I mean, come on, he's
been in a lot of stuff. Fourteen movies this year.
That's the last Exorcist I'm in. Let's go. Yeah, well,
the last Exorcist, not the next to last. I think
he was probably in the next to last Exorcist and
the third to last, getting close to the last Exorcist.

(01:56:29):
He was in Peter Pan Landed Forever, Middle of the
Road Exorcist. Oh, Machete, he kills in space. Come on,
we're in Machete Kills in Space. That's actually going to
be a movie. Yes, I bet that's what it is,
Machette versus Jason VORGI true, but but but Denny Trey
was like five four and Jason's like six five, and

(01:56:52):
in Hollywood terms, he underneath him. He looks like he's
six eight. A right, it's Zika. When he was saying mother,
he looked like a giant, like Ronnie James Dio, who
was like cru keep going. There was a story today
that is going to change how we consume and watch

(01:57:12):
sports on TV. Earlier today, it was announced that the
new Disney streaming service that's coming out later on this fall,
they're going they have obtained the rights to movies like
Home Alone Cheaper by the Dozen, and they're going to
remake them. And you probably saw Home Alone trending earlier today.
Is who will take over and play the role? First

(01:57:32):
of all, Zac Efron is way too old. He's not
gonna play Kevin's role. So that was a big deal today.
Macaulay Culkin got into the press too, because because he
responded to Hey, I'll get out, Hey, Disney call me,
he would play the dad in Home Alone. He had
to play the dad at this point you can still
or or he could be one of the Wet Bandits.

(01:57:55):
Sorry spoiler, but that would be pretty cool if mcaulay
culkin was wanted to bring back Earning Pash. So this
is something that Disney Plus is gonna put out. This
is the new streaming service that starts later on this year,
and there's been a lot of publicity for it's going
to have all the Avengers movies. They're gonna have new
Avengers television television series. There's gonna be a low key
TV series. Is a Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Vision

(01:58:17):
and Scarlett which all starring all the Marvel stars. So
it's Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany and it's it's Tom Hillston.
It's a huge, it's a Hawkeye movie. But it's all
for the Disney streaming service, which is gonna be seven
when it comes out. And again, it got all the
Avengers movies, got all It's gonna take so much stuff
away from Netflix. Now, what does this have to do

(01:58:38):
with sports and how it changes how we watch sports
on TV. The only people that really have cable anymore
are families and people who want to watch live sports. Right,
That's why we have cable because we're family and we
want to watch live sports. Everybody else has cut the
chord and does Sling TV, Apple TV. Some people don't

(01:59:01):
have TVs to have it just set up right to
their iPod, iPads and cable. The last bastion of people
who have cable are families because they want the variety,
and people who want to watch live sports. With Disney
coming out, this is going to be a game changing
streaming service in which it is half as much as Netflix. Right,

(01:59:23):
Netflix is fourteen bucks a month. Disney is gonna start
at half that seven six a month, and it's gonna
be a big deal, and I'm sure they'll wind up
doubling their rates at some point when it gets very successful.
So you already have the movement towards all right, families
are gonna be leaving cable now because well, I can
get Disney, and I can I can get this service,
and I can do all this and add seven ninety nine.

(01:59:43):
But do I want regular cable along with it? Or
is this just enough? So now you're seeing chipping away
at the families. Part two of this announcement today was
that you are going to be able to bundle Disney Plus,
which is the streaming service, ESPN Plus which is all
the live games you want, and Hulu streaming service, all

(02:00:06):
for twelve ninety nine a month. All right, that's a
lot of television for very cheap. Twelve for those three
streaming services is really really cheap. Within three years, cable
is gonna be the MySpace of the world. And we're
all on Facebook because now you're chipping away at the families.

(02:00:29):
And with Live Sports, ESPN, look, Fox Sports one, Live Sports, everybody,
We've talked about it many times. Live sports, the last
batch and of of entertainment. What rights that people want
to have, because this is what people want to see.
And now you're seeing not only where we're moving away
from with with family oriented programming way Disney is, but
now we're gonna bundle ESPN with it and okay, well

(02:00:52):
I'm want to watch all the games, so now I
can do this. Cable will be a memory in three years.
It's just gonna be the you know, people who don't
want to change, people who are over the age of eighty. No,
I like my cable the way I have it, and
it but it will be so incredibly out of date
because this is the way the world is going today.
Was that game changing day, because this is the way

(02:01:13):
everybody does it. If you do it, you're not in
your head knowing what I'm talking about. If you still
have cable, you're going trust me. Those are the last
two holdouts family programming, live sports. Now they're finding a
way to get that to you because forever the longest
conversation was, well, the carriage fees for ESPN, for Fox
Sports one, NFL network, all of the different things we watch, Oh,

(02:01:35):
this is too expensive. This is when I was at
NFL network. The big conversation was we gotta get a Charac,
We've gotta get on the big cable networks, but it
was too expensive. Finally they cut a deal to get
it on a NFL network started doing incredibly well. But
that's where we're at right now. And if you find
a way to to cut the chord to give enough
family programming where people are getting it and they can

(02:01:56):
still get their sports or sports people can get that
end of streaming service like who Loop forget it. No
one's gonna have cable in three years. Well, you're still
gonna have a lot of folks that won't adopt the
new technology. Let's let's just call it. We are not
going to do it. But that's not but well, but
we're talking about no certainly, you're you're trying to figure

(02:02:18):
out where technology is heading and be ahead of the curve.
Where it gets curious is when you have every network
bundling their stuff. How many bundles do you buy before
you say, out of hell with it, I'm going back
to cable bundle with It's like the NBA. But that's
part of it. Right as we look at the assimilation

(02:02:39):
UH and the the purchasing of networks and and who
you're you're getting content from. All right, here's great content here.
We're talking to Disney and got Hulu with has live
sports already, and then you've got ESPN plus you're you're
serving a pretty wide audience. But then you've got bundle
over here. You like the shows that are part of
NBC Universal here, you like parts of pick your other

(02:03:03):
network that you like USA, they will have their own
thing or the HBO go or go on down the
line to where as you piece meal that stuff together,
there's gonna be a percentage of folks that go then
was getting back close to what I was paying before.
But because you're getting to choose it, and you don't
have eighty four extraneous channels that you're never going to watch,

(02:03:25):
perhaps there's still that that plus two it and look
the carriage costs certainly. I mean, how many times do
you see it in your timelines? How many times you
see it on your local television station wherever you are,
And we appreciate you hanging out with us here on
Fox Sports Radio. You know the warning your cable system
is about to lose channels X, y Z. They're in

(02:03:46):
a fight hell here in Los Angeles, right, the Dodgers
aren't on TV. It's an longstanding battle that we don't
see it really an end in sight unless we start
talking longer term, maybe the whole launching of a network
type deal as we as we see across sports, where
maybe in some circumstances that it makes sense. I'm not

(02:04:09):
speaking out of turn. I have no knowledge of any
of this. It's just as we talk about the the
great frontier of where we're heading with these bundling packages.
But it certainly changes how we consume, right, whether you
can watch it on your phone, maybe you've got you know,
YouTube TV, and you can just stream it as you're
wandering around, like all the apps that you download, all right,

(02:04:30):
I got video for this for the other and some
of its premium some of it is is it just
a basic streaming package. And they're still on the ad
sales side of things, so they're not reaching into your
pocket directly yet, but it's in your phone bill somewhere
most likely as well, and certainly in your you know

(02:04:51):
dat data plans as you roll forward. But we're certainly
seeing the change we talked about a game changer with
the redskins as how they're gonna approach and interactive, you know,
predictions show that obviously is the the doorway to all right,
how do we do live betting and and all of
these things? Same thing here, bit by bit, and everybody's

(02:05:11):
starting to bundle. See how deep you'll reach into your pocket.
See it's gonna go faster than people think just because
of this. Listen to this. Look at the bundle you
have right there, right, Disney plus ESPN and Hulu. Right,
that's gonna be twelve ninety nine a month. Netflix right
now is twelve month. Are people gonna get both of them? No,

(02:05:33):
because the average person is gonna go, well, I can
get Hulu streaming service here, you know Netflix. Unless Netflix
decides to trump this by saying we're gonna put out
all these great original like if they go bird Box
and start doing that, then it's gonna be. Then Netflix
will continue to fight it because you have to have
our streaming service. But I say don't. The average person

(02:05:55):
is gonna say, well, I can get just Netflix, or
I can get Hulu, which is just as good as Netflix.
I can watch anything I want streaming wise. I mean,
you can go talk about original programming. But I get Hulu,
and I get ESPN Plus, and I get the new
Disney which is going to have all kinds of crazy
good stuff on it. Well I want that because I'm
getting more instead of just Netflix. Well, but that becomes

(02:06:17):
the curiosity, right for Netflix having been the killer app
going back all those many years with the red envelopes
showing up before you could stream it and and everything else. Uh,
and have the app on your your television, right the
new smart TVs that you look at original programming, and
they are they'll have to revisit their business model and

(02:06:38):
when it comes to original programming, because right now there's
a bit of a backlash because of the cancelations of
some of their shows. Right as everybody's ready to get
paid more for a season three, there's suddenly ending series
after two or maybe it's the first three year. We're
on base deals and now to re up they don't

(02:06:58):
want to pay the money, so that all, right, show's done.
So no, no, they were just getting started. So they've
got that content creation and cash flow. Uh, chasm to cross.
But certainly we'll have a pretty good idea of where
we want to go, right, I mean, the big battle
over getting the Office, Netflix and what everybody watches the Office.

(02:07:20):
Everybody's watching the rain. Wilson had an interaction. I don't
know if you saw it went viral. Guy, Hey, you're
my favorite? Can I get a picture? What's my name?
His name? I don't know about that. Then you're not.
Then I'm not your favorite, in the opposite of your favorite.
Within three years, Cable is gonna be like my Space
in a Facebook world. That's what that's That's what it's

(02:07:42):
gonna be. This is a huge game changing day because
of sports and because of families. Twitter at how about
a fresca Mike at Swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmen. Coming up next, we
have to talk about the Marshawn Lynch football camp. It's
a conversation you want to hear and you want to
hear what march Shawn Lynch has had to say in
the midst of the controversy surrounding his football camp. This

(02:08:04):
is Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the I Heart Radio app. Fox Sports Radio The
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon live
from the Geico Studios, and we have to talk about

(02:08:28):
the Marshawn Lynch football camp because video and audio has
come to light of what happened at the Marshawn Lynch
football camp late in July that is starting to go
viral and we just have to talk about it. Tell you,
Over the weekend, it started to come out that Marshawn
Lynch had cursed it some people and that was funny
or kind of odd in and of itself, funny being

(02:08:50):
a word that we put an italicized, you know, sarcastic
font just kind of the curiosity of Wow, what the
hell happened? And then I took a matter of seventy
two hours just wait, the internet will find it. The
audio gets out, and we're going to get a true
representation of actually who Marshawn Lynch is. He's running a

(02:09:15):
football camp in the Greater Seattle area, got about two
hundred kids at camp, and the story that got out
slowly over the weekend leaking out is that Marshawn Lynch
was cursing at the kids at his camp when they
weren't doing what they were supposed to. He made them
run punishment laps, push ups, but he was cursing at them. Also.

(02:09:36):
He was making them hit without using pads because these
summer camps rarely use pads, and so well you can think,
all right, well, it's all right, I can kind of
see that seems like a little weird. Oh, by the way,
what's missing in this story is that the kids were
nine years old, nine nine hitting without pads and he's

(02:09:57):
cursing at them if they're not behaving the right way.
It takes me back to my youth when that was
accepted practice by some of the dopes that were running
around coaching our teams. I got dopes. Some of them
were fine, some of them I got. I got dopes
in my timeline said well, this is this is the
wosification of America and all of these things, and it's

(02:10:17):
O no, these kids are nine years old. Just stop
being an idiot. I mean, really, parents make things so
bad for youth sports. As someone you and I are
both involved in youth sports, and to sit here and say,
oh my god, you're you don't like what Marshawn Lynch
didn't know. These are nine year old kids. First of all,
you're not supposed to hit when you don't have equipment.

(02:10:38):
Not supposed to ate without equipment. That's the number one
not supposed to hit. Look at the kids are out
on the sand lot plants and football themselves, and they're
roughing it up because of what they've watched and that's
how they're gonna play, and that's not how you coach
them up at camps normally. And there's some of them then,
and if there's not, then there's not a lot of hitting. No,
you're not supposed to do it. And they have each

(02:10:59):
other there maybe for that, you know, brief second to
kind of show what what the drill should be at
full speed, So you can't do that. And then if
you want to make kids run punishment laps, okay, I
get that, but you can't curse that their nine years
old years old, nine years old. These are kids that

(02:11:21):
are in fourth grade and you're gonna curse at them.
And before you think, well did he really curse out him, No,
you're gonna hear Marshaw lynch and he actually admits doing it.
But there's a couple of parts to this story. Because
how this broke is that a woman one of the
women who was watching the camp got very upset with
her son being treated the way Marshall Lynch was treating

(02:11:41):
some of the kids, cursing at them, making them run
laps to push ups, this punishment. So the camp is
going on in this in this stadium, and the people
watching are like standing on a concourse in the shade
in the stadium. So when the woman goes up and
throws the T shirt down at Marshawn lynches feet, he
goes marching up to the top of the concourse and

(02:12:03):
Marshawn Lynch comes running up after her. Now, the funny
part of this is Mark Shawn Lynch runs up these
you know why what is it? Forty steps to get
to where she is and he gets us says, okay, good,
I'm glad you who be sorry? Who? Who? He couldn't
run up more than those forty steps without really breathing no,
and you'll hear that and the quotes as well. So

(02:12:25):
he's got a tough time, got to catch his breath.
But this woman is very upset with him. And when
he gets up there, what does he say to her?
The first thing he asks is is there a man around?
Is there is not a man here with you? What?
What does it? What does it matter? Is there? I
want to talk to a man? He want? I want

(02:12:47):
to talk to man? Is there a man here with you?
He had to like four or five times, because a
man is gonna sit here and say, sweetheart, listen, Marshawn
knows what he's doing. The guy was in the Super Bowl. Hey,
what's up beast mode? Yeah, I gotta shake hands. No,
it's all good, honey. You gotta let Marshawn do his thing.
Let our kid hit, let our kids get cursed that
because a man's gonna make sure that's going on. That's

(02:13:08):
really all you need to know about Marshawn Lynch right there,
completely dismissive of a woman bringing a kid to camp.
And as you said earlier in the show, who do
you think brings these kids to camp? The moms bring
them to camp just as much as the dad bring them.
What does it matter if a man is there. I
brought my son to your football camp. I can't talk
to you because you're you're you're a woman, So I
need to talk to a man. I mean, really, that's

(02:13:29):
you need to know about here. Let's talk as adults.
About what we're seeing here and trying to get the
back you go, well, that's how it was, or as
I said, you know that that was growing up right
where you'd have a coach grab your helmet and slam
your head into the next guy's head, saying that's the
gap you have to fill. Uh, And then you're you're

(02:13:49):
dazed for a second, but you line up and you
do the drill again. Those days are long gone. That's
that's a bygone era and everybody has seen the ramifications
of that, and you know, you get tweets of the
whitsification or whatever term you want to use. Not some
of it's just basic decency and civility. The other is,

(02:14:10):
in this particular case, parent and guardian, man, woman, whoever
shows up in support of that kid. You talk to them, right,
that's the guardian, and you have the conversation because if
you're gonna try to defend how you're talking to or
treating the players on the field, or how they're treating
each other and the drills you're allowing to go on,

(02:14:33):
whoever standing on the other side, they signed the permission
form for the head kid to be there, and they
drove and they're in attendance, and if they have an objection,
you better damn well listen to it. As if that's
not enough. Coming up in ninety seconds, you're gonna hear
exactly what Marshawn Lynch said when he tried to defend
his behavior towards these nine year old kids. Trust me,

(02:14:54):
you want to hear it, But first you want to
hear Brian Finley tell you how close the Mets are
to the playoffs. Bryan, Yes, that is gonna be the
whole update, Jason Good. Wednesday night's Red Sox Royals game
will resume August two at one oh five. Easter in
the rain on Wednesday would not relent after they delayed
the game in the tenth with a four or four score.

(02:15:16):
So the last game to finish on Wednesday was the Diamondbacks,
ripping the Phillies six one. Bryce Harper spanked a ninth
inning home run. The Yankees run up to score on
the Orioles fourteen to two. New York homeward five times.
Baltimore's highlight of their vomit worthy season came in the
fifth inning, when an infuriated Chris Davis and the dugout

(02:15:36):
was dead set on fighting his manager Brandon Hyde. David,
before you continue, can I can I ask did you
have some gastro intestinal issues? I mean barfetorium, I mean,
what do we got going on? Yes? So I actually
one doctor claimed that I could not have gluten, and

(02:15:58):
then I was a celiac, and then I had another
doctor say that that was wrong. But I've been to
the hospital. I'm serious. I've been to the hospital for
stomach pains before. So maybe this is like subconsciously like
what's going on? All right, I'm just I'm just checking
on you, just making your here, okay over there just
seemed to be top of mind. So I don't have
the diet that Alex teishert has, but I do not

(02:16:21):
do any sugar or carbs. So I do eat meat,
but I do not do like strictly grass literally on
the ground like Alex does, or or vegetables or fruit.
You all right, guys. So on that news, we got

(02:16:42):
some great news. And there's a quick way you could
save money. Switch to Geico. How about that for a segue,
Go to Geico dot com and in fifteen minutes you
could say or more on car insurance. The Brewers took
the crow Bower on the Pirates eight three Pittsburgh. Trevor
Williams made a mess out there on the hill five innings,
sixer and runs on eight hits. Russell Martin drives into

(02:17:05):
in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Dodgers
with a two one win over the Cardinals and the
Mets slash the Marlins seven to New York has one,
thirteen and fourteen games. Who saw that coming? No one,
And according to NFL Network, Nick Bosa suffered an ankle
sprain and the forty Niners could be on the safe
side by keeping him out for the preseason. Back to

(02:17:27):
Jason Smith and Mike Carmen, but first award from farmers.
At Farmers Insurance, we know the sound of a perfect
hot air balloon landing and a lesson perfect one covered Farmers.
We are farmers under written my Farmers truck Fire Insurance
Exchange and affiliates products unavailable in every state and time
to regurgitate. Back over to Jason Smith and Mike Carmen.

(02:17:50):
Thank you. Uh so. When we last left Marshawn Lynch,
he was asking a woman if a man is around
so we could talk to him about the problems woman
was having with the way he was coaching his football
camp in which he was having kids hit with note
pads on cursing at them and making them do punishment

(02:18:11):
things like run laps and do push ups laps and
the push ups. I get they got to behave, but
cursing at nine year old kids and making kids hit
without equipment, I mean, come on, I know this is
how you were brought up. This doesn't make it right.
Many ideas that have made it all the way to
nine do what we always did it this way doesn't.
It was always a good idea. But this is the

(02:18:35):
further confrontation that Marshawn Lynch has with this woman and
the person taking video of this is a few feet
away from Marshawn, and Marshawn Lynch actually asked the person
to get closer to get video of their developing argument because,
as he says to the to the person taking the video, hey,
I want to explain to you why I say what

(02:18:55):
I say. Because Marshawn Lynch has the presence of mind
to know this is being recorded, this is gonna get
out somehow, so he wants to get his side of
this story out there first. So here he is explaining
why he yells at the kids and curses at them.
And if you think this is gonna be something that
exonerates mars Shawn Lynch, well not so much. If it
takes that amount of time. For when I tell the

(02:19:17):
kid to do something and they're not doing what they're
supposed to do, then there is consequences like push ups,
like running left, like telling them to get out of
my drill if they're not participating. All right, drill my drill,
or whatever it takes to get my drill, because there's
grunt kids, but there is also a hundred more kids

(02:19:41):
out there. I thought that might be the name of
the grit And what's that? What's I've still out of
breath and running up all those steps to talk to
this woman breath. Hey, now he has to teach, he
doesn't have to do. Uh. The mother blanket drill might
be the actual name of what he's trying to instill. There,

(02:20:02):
it's a mother blanket drill. That's like a guy in
court who gets all the way to the end of
his trial and the judges about to declare to the
to the jury to give their verdict of the jury's
about to say we find the defendant not and the
guy stands up and says, now, guilty, I did it. Now,
I couldn't. I couldn't let you vote that one. No,
I did it. Marshall Lynch could have easily have said

(02:20:23):
a couple of words got out that are unfortunate. I'm sorry, no,
and said he said, no, I'm gonna tell him get
the blankety blankety blank out of my drill. You blankety blank.
Oh no, no, I said it. Yeah, I I completely
said that. So in trying to say something he thought
was gonna exonerate him, it just makes him look like,
oh no, no, he is. He did exactly what we thought.
When you know, and here's the other part of it

(02:20:46):
that that gets me in the end is that after
this happened, Marshawn Lynch went back to the field and
he picked up the microphone and he wanted to apologize.
I'm sorry to the woman who just left. Listen to
what one of the dad's in earshot of the microphone
that's still taping. Marshawn Lynch's apology says, go ahead, like

(02:21:20):
any coach. He said, You guys spoken like any coach.
Take a step back for a second and realize you're
okay with your nine year old kid getting cursed at
by a coach, and you're okay with them hitting with
no equipment because you think, my kids getting a scholarship. Now,
my kid's got to go through this, we can get

(02:21:40):
a scholarship. And what drives me crazy is every sports
dad that has wound up having a kid get a scholarship,
they all pat themselves on the back of the end
and go seep. Without my tough love, without stuff like this,
they wouldn't have gotten that scholarship. No, they probably would have.
They probably just would have been more enjoyable for them
instead of you pushing them. The number of kids who
stopped playing sports in high school because they are pushed

(02:22:03):
so much towards it and they are not treated the
way they should be treated is immense especial. Soccer is
one of the worst sports as far as people saying,
you know what, I've had it because I have too much.
When they're younger and they get pushed by parents who
know you should be doing this, you should be doing this,
should be doing this, and they decide, you know what,
I'm done. It happens at all. The soccer is a
very big one but it happens in softball, happens many

(02:22:24):
sports and football. You're pushing the kid is nine years old.
I mean, if the kid is good enough, he's gonna
get to high school, he's gonna be he's gonna play well,
he'll get a scholarship. If he's good enough, somebody's gonna
find him. But you don't need to push him at nine.
And I know there's many people listening now going you
don't know what you're talking about. I'll push my kid.
I'll make sure. Just because you were treated that way

(02:22:44):
when you were a kid, and just because you believe
that was a way that was okay, it doesn't mean
it's okay. And when I hear this and hear that
guy go spoken like a true coach, I'm like, oh man,
I I feel bad for that guy's kid, whoever that is,
because that kid's got, he's got, he can't do anything right. Well,
what are the statistics? Two thirds of kids are done
by age twelve and that and that's it, you know,

(02:23:05):
and and even that, you know, that's given a range,
and I think it's eight years eight years old to
twelve years old, I mean a four year range where
the participation level drops off to that. So, I mean
you're you're looking at a lot of kids that for
myriad reasons, other interests, whatever it may be, coaching parents,

(02:23:26):
the drives, the commute, the cost in a lot of cases, right,
if you're traveling to tournaments, depending on where you're at,
certainly seeing it on the soccer side, and you're seeing
it between soccer and softball. We see it on the
soccer side my house. You know, it becomes part of
the the the process, and it's not necessarily just the kid, right,

(02:23:49):
and but the tough love and if you're gonna get
yelled at all time, who's gonna stick with that? I
mean from a larger percentage. I mean, if it's a
weeding out process in a celebrity a celebrity event like this,
I mean that that's what you're trying to do. We're
gonna pick out the toughest kids. And this is how

(02:24:10):
we're gonna run a camp. I mean most of the time,
it's we run a couple of drills, we play some
seven on seven flag football, and then everybody gets a
picture and an autograph. Can I tell you the name
of the camp, It's the Marshawn Lynch Family First Camp,
that'll do it well. It's good for family building. That's
like in a Simpsons episode what happened to the Family

(02:24:31):
First Camp? The coach cursed out everybody. But yeah, I
mean I get it. Everybody had a coach or multiple coaches.
And maybe you attribute whatever you do now in your career,
in your relationships or whatever it is some of that
tough love. Maybe it's you look at the family right,
family first, in family dynamics and who's in the house

(02:24:52):
and who isn't. Maybe that's part of the equation that
comes into play here, and that Marshawn Lynch, you know,
part of it is I want to teach a little
bit of discipline. There's ways to do that. The running
push ups, whatever, all makes sense. The when they're here,
they're mind. Yeah, there's there's still lines and parameters along that.

(02:25:12):
Not to mention whatever legal ease uh is in the
form that they signed, because there's no way you're doing
this ala cart where it's just hey, show up and
become part of this drill. No chance, no legal chance
in hell that there wasn't something signed off and in
this process to where he's got some legal responsibility if

(02:25:34):
something goes arise. So yeah, there's a lot more to
unpack here. But but certainly the the idea of I'm
gonna run drills my way, that's that's just not what
it is. And this is what you need to know
about Marshawn Lynch. He got a pass for most of
the end of his career because he was entertaining, but
he always kind of wrote the line of is he
really a good guy? Is he misunderstood or is he

(02:25:56):
something else? And as you see, no, he's this too.
You know, we talked about Colin Kaepernick last hour, and look,
Colin Kaepernick does a lot of really good things. He's
also done some bad things. And to sit here and
take a pay out and then say I'm being denied
work again for the nine day in a row. Now
you've gotta stop that. And the same thing with Marshawn Lynch.
Does he do some great things, yes, does he also

(02:26:16):
do things like this and realizes and you know he
believes women are not equal to men? Of course he doesn't.
So really that's part of it too. This is who
Marshawn Lynch is too. So you can't just give him
a pass because you don't like what happened. I don't
want to dismiss that, and just talking about what he
did elsewhere Twitter and how about a fresco Mike and
Swollen don't coming up next maybe the best piece of
audio you'll hear all day long or all night long,

(02:26:40):
since we are in at night. What I'm saying long
here in the slide over. Baby, It's coming up next
right here on Fox Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Hey, you know
what's what movie this is from? Uh? This is Batman,
Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Kidman one right? Right, oh, right,

(02:27:02):
right right? I was just more just looking for Batman.
That was the third one. Why do Batman wasn't from
the first. I knew it wasn't the first Batman. It
was from one of those Batman's Batman Forever, the one
with Alicia Silverstone. Right, No, that's Batman and Robin Batman
and Batman and Robin Batman Forever. Is Tommy Lee Jones
right right right, that's right. Jim Carrey, that's right. He

(02:27:23):
when he was the Riddler Val Kilmer, one of my
best Holly Halloween costumes of all time. I went as
the Riddler. Yeah, I had, I got green long underwear.
I got long underwear, died at green and put question
marks all over my all over my thing. And I
let people write any question they want on on my shirt,

(02:27:44):
so people would write all kinds of crazy ask questions
above the waist. As far as you know, they did,
probably asking some other questions there. Time now for the
play of the night, brought you by Geico. Great news
is a quick and easy way you could save money.
Go to i go dot com. In in fifteen minutes,
you could be saving fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

(02:28:05):
NFL Networks Steve Smith at Panthers camp today and he
was miked up asking Cam Newton fantasy football advice, and
he asked him about wide receiver d J. Moore. D J. Moore,
who happened to be standing right next to Steve Smith
while Steve Smith was asking Cam Newton for fantasy advice.
So I got him on my bench. D J. Moore, Okay,

(02:28:27):
should I can't I in venture? Should I let John
Brown be on the bench or that's kind of disrespectful?
Like John Brown? He ain't asseid he got a lot
of choice selections. Give me inside the trade, So don't
report me like you know. No, I'm just saying, so,
so should I take him off the bench, because currently
here on the bench, you gotta start him. Well if

(02:28:48):
I just flex what I put him at flex? I
don't understand that that just made an extra guy like
put him at flex because he's not a real wide
receiver yet, he's just kind of developer. Let's say all that. Well,
I'm just telling off a fan to see start to
a John Brown, this a legit question, is it not? This?

(02:29:11):
Start start? You gave me two points, I'm st now here.
Now here's give me two now here's the beauty of it.
According to Sports Illustrated, this came from a show called
All or Nothing, was an Amazon Prime series chronicling the
Panthers season, uh during and from their fact checking and

(02:29:32):
trying to go through the pieces that this would have
been ahead of their Week seven game against the Eagles,
where Moore had three catches for twenty nine yards, which
would have yielded him in most leagues two point nine
points with his three catches. So five point nine points,
no PPR, no rounding two points. You give me two points,

(02:29:55):
I'm gonna I'm gonna slap the blank out of you.
He and Marshawn Lynch should hang out. Well. I get
Steve Smith is trying to make a joke, but really,
how bad is your team when you are well? I
got a flex between t J Moore and John Brown.
That's a bad team. That's a bad team. I get
at the flex, but come on, man, you gotta have

(02:30:17):
somebody better. See if he was one advising him how
to draft that team. I'm hoping to him next week.
I hope it was a bye week. Yek. Maybe that's
the only way out of it. It's about everybody was
on a by Still, there's people better than d J
Moore and John Brown that you could start. Loved me
some d J Moore for this year still, Yeah, but

(02:30:38):
this wasn't this year. This was this was last time forward,
that was then. This is ness. We're talking about them,
We're talking about having a bad that's a bad team
trying to move it forward. This is a bad team.
Twitter and out about a Fresco, Mike and Swollen Dome,
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
and uh the other big play tonight. Of course, Chris
Davis getting in a knee her Dugout brawl with his manager.

(02:31:03):
You don't really see players want to fight their manager
all that often. In the Orioles dug Out, you had
some serious drama, Chris Davis being held back as he
was going after someone, and Davis out of this game.
Now you could see Chris Davis, well, we don't see

(02:31:24):
who he was going after, but that looks like Mark
Trumbo holding him back along with hitting coach Don Long
Orioles Radio Network. I've never fought any of my bosses,
