were going to Vegas. We're here. So far, nobody's been arrested.
The night is young, especially for you. Are you know
I did get padded down. An extra kind of a
next level thing is security got to take one of
(01:05):
my uh my debit card out of my pocket. They
kind of came all on board. People were laughing, kind
of watching me get felt up by security. It was
really an interesting kind of dynamic. I told security, Hey, listen,
watch for the guy do the old Hey you a
t M cards something. Make sure he's all the good? Hey,
can you move your left leg a little further this way?
Movie level? Right leg? Like this getting weird? And there
(01:29):
were these two women just chuckling and enjoying every second
of it, Like is this good? It's like you you
flying to Vegas with me or what like that. We're
going here like two bad because they're good main friends.
But no, it was good. Uh. And here we are.
We made it live. I am not incarcerated. You are
doing everything you can to perpetrate problems here. We've seen
(01:50):
a lot of Chiefs fans, a lot of Eagles fans,
and you're walking around in your jets. Come on, buddy,
come on trying to speak nonsense into existence. Here we
are from the Blue Wire Studios at the Wind Resort. Uh.
And awesome set up, awesome time to be here. But
yes I am here, and I told you we are
here to convince the Raiders they do not need Aaron Rodgers.
(02:12):
They do not need him. They need somebody else. I
want Aaron Rodgers. Did you see NFL Honors Sauce Gardner,
Garrett Wilson, Rookies of the Year, Priest Hall Hall would
have won if he was healthy. Aaron Rodgers, don't go
into the darkness. I want to. I want to make
sure you see that they had the offensive a defensive
Rookie of the Year, and they would have had another
one if he was healthy. Did you see that? Forget
(02:34):
about Vegas, forget about a year, forget about all of this. Yes,
all your Raider fans walking by right now. No, no, no,
Aaron Rodgers is our guys. Stay away from it, buddy.
I I have to go the other way. I'm all
about promoting where we're at. We're at the Blue Wire Studios,
at the wind Resort. I want them to have great prosperity,
and that means you bring in a quarterback that can
(02:55):
actually move the needle. Derek Carr had the great Vegas
connection to the International Hotel and everything you saw in
Bob's Lureman's Elvis epic right, all those things where he
was giving you his best. He could an Elvis imperson agent.
He's gone. He's gone. Now it's time for the dirty
pirate looking Aaron Rodgers to come in and lead that
(03:17):
pirate ship forward, leaving your jets in the wind crying.
Look look, look, just again, I want to say offensive
and defensive Rookies of the Year. And we would have
had we would have added if one guy was getting
into the other guy that doesn't matter, would have had
first and secont And now he's got to come back
(03:37):
from injuring two guys that could have won. Did you
see videos he's posting very fine. Yeah, he's chirpy. He
saw it. Was one of my favorite players, by the way,
I normally, you know, I like my wall of meme
bit by bit. I've been collecting autograph trading cards or
jersey cards and eventually jerseys of my favorite defensive lineman.
That's where I live. I mean, I'm built like a
(03:58):
fire plug, so it works like that. But Brecee Hall
was a guy that I enjoy because he's small, fast,
and chirpy. Sure, the chirpiness is what gets him over
the top, because he's just saying, look, I'm good, Yeah,
I'm good. I may be damn great. And you won
that award because I got hurt. I love that, which
means he's gonna suplex is ask the first opportunity he
gets in many cases, Why Aaron Rodgers is going to
(04:20):
go to that and needs to go to the jets,
but he's in darkness. Look, no, no, not yet, he's
not no, no, no, no, he's gonna watch the games.
What now, what do you think he's gonna eat before
he goes into darkness? Uh? Bad? Is that diet? I'm
trying to think of dark I'm thinking of black food,
like seaweed or octopus or what else? The black? Yeah? Yeah, pasta. Yeah,
(04:47):
he's like you down because I gotta be honest right now,
you were trying to sell me out of pasta place
for dinner. See if they have the they do have
they have that I can get on board. Yeah, you
know real quick. My dad wants told me a story
that stays with me forever. I never wanted octopus because
he told me once because this is my dad, right, this,
this is my dad in the nutshell. It was like
five or six years old, Like I saw octopus on
(05:07):
a menu somewhere we were, and I said, my dad's
never want to have octopus. And I said, why what
have octopuses? Because what happened? If they don't cook it
all the way you eat it? And then you know octopus,
you know they grow arms back and stuff. And if
if they said yeah, he goes. What happens is the
octopus reforms in your stomach and it comes out of
the front and front of you and blows out of
your stomach. I'm like, I don't never want to have octopus.
(05:31):
You know what, There's far more effective things to do, food, beverage,
other consumables that you would encounter in your every day.
Not often someone showing up like you go to McDonald's
and fast food restaurants a lot, not a lot of
OCTOPI showing up his potential menu, Like I would try
to scare you with the more likely scenario. You know,
(05:52):
drugs are bad, you know things of that. You know
you want another word for my dad another My dad
in a nutshell. He said to me, hey, you always
have to tell him of your mother if you get
a cut that gets infected. And I said why, you
know obviously he wanted, you know, if you get a cut, sorry,
so it doesn't get infected. You want to touch so
it doesn't get inffected. And I said why, obviously they
want to make sure that nothing happens. To tell me
when you get a cut, I said, why, he goes, well,
(06:13):
because here's what happens. If your cut gets infected. We
have to die all of your clothes purple. And eventually
we're gonna run out of close and by we can't
afford close every single day. We can't keep buying purple clothes.
So eventually you have to go to school naked. Right John,
that you meet me, I've got a wardrobe from the purple.
I'm wearing a lilac plumb kind of shirt. When that's
when I'm four years old, And this is my grandmother's
(06:34):
favorite story ever, because I was over my grandparents house
one day. I was probably four and a half five
years old, and I had a cut and my grandmother
is looking at says, oh, you gotta cut. It looks
like it's infected. And I went, She's like, what's happening.
What's happening. Dad told me that if I had infected cut,
to tie my clothes purple and I couldn't see, you
might run out of clothes. I have to go to
(06:55):
school naked, and and she gave me a look that
I still remember this day, like, partly I want to
kill your dad, but oh my god, this is hilarious,
and she got on the phone and call me. I'm
told of that story. So that's my dad. That's what
it's like growing up with my dad. You know what
I've been funny though, is if someone else in the
family would have uh committed to the bit and then
the background been playing viola or something, well it's infected,
(07:19):
you know, like he's on the Titanic getting ready to
go down. But you said the thing there about ending
badly right. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen Live

Uh gino. Smith is the comeback player. You know, how
did the comeback player? You suck and then suddenly you're
you're to come back? You were still on a rockster
back He didn't come back from an injury back, You
(08:02):
didn't come back for some family tragedy and illness whatever,
just because you sucked and suddenly you played better. You're
the comeback player like that. That's ridiculous, dude. You just
gave me the finger. I didn't you Just You've gotta
calm down, man, You've got there's only one guy that
you just gave me the finger because you're so mad
that Gino Smith one comback player of the Year. It
(08:24):
was hard for you. You kept pointing to your Jets
sweat and he's not yours Anymore's not a get anymore.
I'm I'm worried. All right, Let's have Frostburg, let's have
uh some kind of emergency medical standing by if that's
gonna be harmon. Uh, But look we have have we
have the m v P coming up as well. But look,
I can see the future. And that's why I'm glad
(08:46):
we're here because I could see the future. Because I
can see and I don't like it. Because I can
see Aaron Rodgers. It's quickly whittled down to two teams
for him, right, it's Vegas or the Jets. That's it.
It's Vegas. Or the Jets, and it's gonna be just
like Kirk Cousins all bleeping over again, where it's gonna
be Jets, Vikings, Jets, Vikings, and Aaron rid is gonna
nod his head into Packers going yes, Jets, Vikings, Jets, Vikings,
(09:09):
and the and the and the Packers are gonna sit
back and they're gonna get the bid from the Jets
that Woody Johnson's gonna call, and Joe Douglas is gonna
he's gonna say, all right, here, here's our two first
round picks. Uh and and and we'll pay Aaron Rodgers sad,
we're gonna do this this and the Packers gonna go
uh huh huh okay, hey, Mark Davis, Yeah, look, this
is what we got from the Jets. It's two first
round picks, and they're paying X amount of his salary.
(09:30):
We figure it out. How about you give us a
little bit more than that and you pay a little
bit more of a salary and you guys can get
Aaron Rodgers and Mark Davis is gonna say yes, and
Vegas is gonna panic, and they're gonna go crazy because
they're complete total wild cards and they're gonna wind up
getting Aaron Rodgers. That's exactly how this is gonna go,
and we're gonna be left with Jimmy Bleep and Garoppolo.
Don't how I didn't give you the finger when I
(09:50):
said that. I said a nice and you kind of
did as calm as I could, knowing full well that
that's how it's gonna be. I mean, my hands are
are are thritic, so part of that one a finger
of you. Not No, you're just trying to interpret things
like that. I mean, Frostberg, did you been looking for
anger and vitriol all day long? You were trying to
(10:11):
have me putting the slammer so that you could host solo.
You had the spray paint out like you were the
n w O. We're in a studio here at the
Blue Wire Studios at the wind where you were going
to take the giant graphic and spray paint online across
my name to excise me from the show. That's what
you were doing. But for Aaron Rodgers tell you this ahead,
(10:31):
because you know what would have happened if I did
do that. No one would have given me the finger
In the first five minutes of the show. I think Frostberg. No,
Frostberg had to be happy here talking about it would
have been your brands and it would have just been
all Jets, Jets, Jets, all that. Like how you gave
me the finger because of Geno Smith, not because I
did know ar. You gave me Gino Smith comeback Player
of the end boom finger, Like how are you so
(10:52):
mad about not? Look at its theater of the mind.
The only more bad is if Geno Smith wins Comeback
player here and they stopped the lake if they did
uh to celebrate Lebron get passing the scoring record and
sell them are they're gonna stop the game tonight when
he doesn't play for ten minutes? By the way, the
leading score in NBA history is here, Lebron James. Let's
(11:16):
do that while we're at it. But the point is
is Davante Adams gonna be there like Oprah Winfrey. He's
got a giant bow on a house in a car
and that's the extra incentive. Look, you could move into
my neighborhood. See nobody on the Jets can do that.
Why do you want Davonte Adams when you could have
Garrett Wilson and Brie saw you don't know if Josh
Jacobs is gonna stay because while Josh Jacobs has said
he's got a tattoo, he wants it, But then he
(11:38):
said like you I can't. I am coming back for
cheap you have up a book exactly problem. He was
talking to them like he was Mr. Paint. The Raiders
have problems, man. Aaron Rodgers doesn't want that smoke. You
want Jet smoke, Jets, I don't want. We are with
a straight face, gonna talk trying to talk about the
are you Jets? If you were to rank the functional
(12:02):
franchisees in the National Football League, do the Jets or
Raiders get into the top twenty five? Doesn't matter? No,
but it doesn't matter because he's thirty one and thirty two.
He's outside of the Colts and the Houston Texts and
the Lions actually had a better year, so they're but
the Lions are actually trending in the right direction. No no, no, yeah,
yeah yeah no. But but the whole thing, it doesn't
(12:24):
matter because it's down to the Jets of the Raiders.
For Aaron Rodgers, there's a whole bunch of there might
be a mystery. The White Sox Andster no, but that's
that's stuff that that's what it's down to. You may
not like it, but that's what it's down to, and
that's how it's gonna go. And he's gonna come out
of the darkness and there's gonna be reporters. They're just
like punk Satawny Phil and waiting to see what happens.
(12:44):
And Phil's gonna say, Nancy Taylor, I sat behind you
in twelve grade English, and Aaron Rodgers gonna go Yes,
I've decided after the Darkness where I somehow got text
for the packers and we worked out in my contract situation.
I'm emerging from the darkness for the dark this and
I'm going to the Raiders. That's just how it's gonna
Brian Doyle Murray show up in a top hat and
(13:05):
introduced the darkness to sing a song to Aaron Rodgers.

I had a good feeling about our experience here. What
was gonna happen? Because I get on the plane and
the flight attendants somewhere in my Mets hat and he goes, oh,
Matts and this is guys, probably about you know, twenty
five years old. He's hanging out in middle of the
plane and uh saw Mets like, yes, I like what
you guys did this offseason. I said me too. We
(14:54):
bought everything, and he goes, yeah, yeah, it's in fact,
we're gonna we're gonna buy your airline. And guy last,
she's how about everything you guys did? And oh my god,
your closer is so good? They play that song oh
you kid man when they play Narco, everybody starts going nuts.
He's going yeah, he goes and he signed Verland or
yes we're talking, and then just out of the blue,
two girls mini skirts Southern Axrican walking by excuse me?
(15:16):
Can I put my my my bag on the top
here of that? And then done that was he was
done talking to me. It was over. It was I
was like, yeah, okay, the Mets. Can it comes to girls?
Can I get my can I put my thing up?
I want to go? What happened? Edwin Diaz a Narco
tad don, what happened to that? You know what? To
talk to me about that anymore? Now? As soon as
(15:37):
they showed up, boo oh yeah right, let me get
your Let me get your your bag, put him up here. Here,
you go right in here. There, your right in the top.
I'll pick it up here. Look at my muscles, right
right a right there. We're great. We're talking about the Mets. Great.
I'm like, oh yeah, guys, talking to me about the
Mets is pretty cool. Can I can you help? You
would have stood there saying let me see you, let's
see your lat strength, go ahead, and I would have said, hey, listen,
(15:57):
lay help you in admitte, I'm talking about the Mets.
So did you started? Somebody on your phone? Fan? I
ran into our our buddy producer from over an AM
five seventy and then realized that my flight had changed
to another gate. Oh so luckily luckily you got there
or unluckily we're having a nice conversation. And that was
and I looked like, why is it still say Oakland
on this board. That Plade's wrong gone. Now I want
(16:19):
to say this, I don't want to say this. I've
not been arrested you right, but you were on the
path to it because you flipped me off in the
first segment of the show. Because not getting me arrested.
People that are standing up and you know what they
said for you. You can't do it for you, Spider,
don't take any of his nonsense. Oh, I think that's
a felody. In Las Vegas, I think they take you
out to bid the desert. You're hanging out with Ken
(16:39):
Jong and then you don't get back out again. That
second season of True Detective, tell you I love Hunter
in my underwear than honey, you stopped lasting awhile ago, Honey,
you stopped walking a long time ago. Uh So, today
was trade deadline day in the NBA, and we saw
a lot of second round picks get traded back and
forth a lot. You got five, how about five? You
(17:02):
need five? We need seven. We need to set a record.
Give you every second round pick we have until they
changed the draft down to one round. Uh And we
saw a lot of minor moves. We'll get to the
Kevin Durant story in a minute, because you know, I
think I can be an NBA insider. But the Lakers
are the biggest movers and shakers because they remake their
(17:22):
whole roster. Right. They trade away Patrick Beverley, they trade
away Thomas Bryant, they get more bomba. Uh. They've made
other moves, and it's it's a lot of minor stuff.
A lot of stuff was minor, which is what teams
are doing around trying to figure out way. It's like
the Nuggets get Thomas Howard to to try to it's
all about peace. And they didn't make any moves. Yeah, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude,
(17:45):
you but dude, all your stars tonight and you couldn't
beat the Nets. They played with three guys. You know
what they did. They flipped everybody off. They clicked the
organization off, they flipped the coach off. They said, to
see you in hell, I'm not playing that. Ben Simmons sucks.
Ben Simmons didn't take a shot and you still never
takes a shot, and that's nothing new. You still lost
to the Nets. He's the second best LSU player they've
(18:06):
got on the roster. He just quit on the season.
That's okay. I saw people in Chicago reporting that if
they gave up all the assets they had to bring
back Derek Rose, that more than half the fan base
would be happier. That was the running joke in Chicago
for Derrick Rose. Send Zach Levin, but like that was
the joke, Like that, fans are so hateful of the
(18:29):
organization at this point, they jeer the return of Derek Rose.
In that scenario, I mean you you you didn't just
lose like oh, on the last buzzer beater, dude, you
got smoked by the nets again. They played three guys
and you lost to the next. But but you mentioned
all the Lakers moves. And this is what I love
is they they had four new guys and they're starting
lineup tonight, and you they didn't need to know each
(18:51):
other's names as long as you're wearing the right colors. Hey, hey,
name on the front, Spencer, Hi, Spencer rom cam And
that speech I was with the son's right. I was
traded here too. Great, okay, great, I'll pass. Do you pass?
And I remember you from the thing with the guy
in the place. Look funny that you bring up the
Lakers we got our guy Frostburg here and and and
little incremental moves and they don't have to be world beating.
(19:12):
But I love the fact that Briant gets traded because
he's famously the guy calling for the ball on Lebron's
record breaking shot and they said, see it, we can't
have that kind of selfishness here. We're going for history.
That might be my favorite. Right, if Lebron James ever
does an autograph signing where you can send things in,
I might want a six team by twenty of that.
(19:32):
I want Phil Knight to sign it. I want Lebron
to sign it. All the guys that didn't bother to
play defense on the play, and I want Bryant clapping
for the ball. That's what I want. That was one
of my favorite images in sports history. But look, here's
the thing about the Lakers, right, and this is why
I love what they did. What do we say last
night with a trade for Russell Westbrook? Right? Is that
(19:54):
gonna work? They've dot like they've remade half the roster.
Is the Russell Westbrook trade gonna work? Is d'angela Russell
gonna wind up be ing it? I don't know, because
you're talking about these wholesale changes, but I know what
wasn't working. Do something wasn't even if it's right, And
the Lakers doing all of this because they know the
robster we have isn't working. So let's throw in some lightning.
(20:14):
Let's throw in some new energy and see how it
works out. Like the Cavaliers did this like twice with
Lebron at the trade deadline when they traded away half
their team. Look, it's not working, we're not where are
in the middle of the pack. And then but it's
not like you and you you watched him evaporate, but
it's not like you can't do that. You can do
So now the Lakers can be successful because now they've
(20:37):
read because I but it doesn't matter because I know
what they had been doing wasn't working, So why not
do this if it's bad and doesn't work. Guess what,
it wasn't working the other way. So it's not like
you were twenty games into the season, right, If you're
fifteen to twenty games in, you're like, all right, at
some point health, everything's gonna coalesce, Russ or whatever. You
maybe maybe you still hold out hope, which as we know,
(20:58):
is either a great word or a dangerous were depending
on which way we want to go. But you're you're
deep enough into the season, you're past the fifty mark
in terms of games played, the same working. The morale
is nothing at zero and whatever we had Dan woikon
we were talking about Anthony Davis and his response to
Lebron and the record whatever else. There's obviously fractures beyond
(21:23):
what's going on with that game right in terms of
how this team has been running. So what do you do?
You get a hard reset and maybe this propels you forward.
Maybe it means nothing. Maybe they're they're just just terrible.
But I gotta think if you're D'Angelo Russell, who at
this point we're playing Connect the Dots through NBA history,
maybe he might end up playing with more teams by
(21:44):
time he's thirty. Is that a record yet? Can I
get stats to run that record for him? Or whoever
we do that? He could be the new Chris Catling.
I think that play with like the teams in twelve
years he got Catling into the show, So you win
right there. Head band and a guy who looked like
he was he's like Grandville Waiters, looked like he was
fifty five when he was twenty seven. T J. Jason
(22:05):
Smith with his gatlin gunning for the big phrase of
the night on the show. Nicely done. But yeah, it's
he'll do something even if it's wrong. Right, you're trying
to appease your fan base. And for Lebron James, clearly
he's behind the scenes going to say working, to say working,
we got twenty seven games, what are we doing here?
(22:26):
Twitter and out about a fresca Mike hat swollen down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
So yeah, so it works. And of course Lebron not
playing tonight for the Lakers nationally televised game on T
and T. Yeah, it's like from the other night when
a craptastic effort that you lose the winnable game. Yeah,
and then you don't bother to play in this and
(22:47):
we don't have anybody tonight. It doesn't it doesn't matter
gonna win tonight. You're not gonna win that. Look, it's
fifteen fifteen right now. But you have nobody tonight, you
all but eight players, you're not going to win. So yeah, listen,
and you know Lebron said, hey man, we're not winning
this game tonight, man, But so we're gonna sit out.
I'm sitting out. You don't need me, then I'll be
ready to go. Hey, give me this, be ready for Saturday,
(23:11):
his mental health day. But he's skipping a naturally televised
game tonight, quitter, So it doesn't matter he's skipping. He
skipping a game tonight. This is why I was mad
when they stopped the game for ten minutes the other night.
He's half ass effort of just randomly taking nights off.
You don't like that. You don't like Geno Smith when
he come back? Don't hear? Why who do you want
to when come back players? To mean the guy that
went through some adversity you sucked. He he was drafted
(23:34):
by the Jets, that had to play there for years.
He got paid, but it took him a long time
to get past that adversity. I mean, how many years
and he's in his second decade. That's a comebootball league.
That's you're coming back from nothing, You're coming back from
playing for the job. But it's not like he just
playing for the rough Riders or something. He's playing for
the Jets. That's stuff thing, dude, that I mean, it's
been gone from the Jets for a long but it
(23:56):
doesn't matter. Are you gonna start thinking? The memory remains
my metallica. It takes people so long to come back
from playing for the Jet. Sometimes it takes them a year,
two years. Sometimes recovered guys go into the retirement. Look
what happened? Man? What happened to me? Where'd I go? Look?
That's how that's how it works. Do you think that's
the case? All the free gear you get, all the
(24:17):
sweatsuits or whatever else. At some point you look in
your garage you like, I can never escape this. So
then you have a giant bond fire or something that
you have to have one big purge once and for all.
Oh man, I'll tell you it takes a lot. I'm
I'm I'm upset that you're upset about Geno Smith really
and I'm setting you flipped me off. But okay, you're
(24:38):
not upset about that at all. That's nightly occur because
if you get arrested because you're on you know what,
you know what? Flipping me off the in the beginning
of the show, that's a gateway. That's a gateway. Maybe
I needed I needed to let some steam off. Maybe
that's what we're in Vegas. We had lunch today. It
was great. We walked around. You got all these betting sheets.
You're gonna spend your dough? Did you see that? Gonna?
(25:00):
Did you see that? When I bring you are the bets?
They are really cool. I got an old school win
like remember the old part, the old parley cards, you
bet you know, three out of three for five dollars,
four for four for ten dollars. Now they got old
school one like this, But you could do that. I'm
looking at back filling out with your pen in the
all yard one six for one on on a three
(25:23):
team barley back in college, giving parley sheets out to
the people in my door may play statue Olympic limitations
has long gone on that it's even got the same
thing to fill out. And I'm filling out the man,
look as much as technolog Look at you just ripped that.
Look at you're ready to submit? Did that voidn't right there? No?
I ripped the bottom of so great though, like to
(25:46):
be able to go in. And I walked in and
there's a steady stream of people baking their bets. And
I go down the line and you've got all the
sheets and all right, here's the sheet for the NHL.
Here's one for college buckets, here's a short one for
the NBA. There's a few games tonight. And then I
go to pull out the NFL one and it is
a book. It is an absolute book. And we were
(26:08):
going through it like there's almost a full page of
Jalen Hurts props. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, right, just Jalen Hurts.
There's like three above all the Hurts, and then there's
like two or three at the back end. It's it's
amazing the number of things you can wager on. Uh,
I'll tell you what. The wind has been great. We're
having a great time and look forward to the rest
of our stay and broadcasting live and screaming at each

other here on Fox. We have news coming in right now.

player and as a businessman, so he goes it's a businessman.
He's unparalleled both of it because he took it. Manage

Fresca Mike gets swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harman coming up next. Um evidence
(29:25):
that I'm pretty sure I could be an NBA insider,
And I mean like I could start tonight and within
a month it would be about Jason Smith's NBA insider.
I could do it? Is that because something huge that
happened the NBA trade deadline convinced me of that. That's
next right here from the tirerac dot Com studios, We're
live in Vegas from Blue Wire at the Wind Resort
Hotel Casino. Keep it air Fox. Be sure to catch
(29:47):
live editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific Fox Sports Radio.
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,
Shark or something, Live from the Blue Wire Studios here
at the Win Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Harmon and I spending some time trying to convince raiders
(30:09):
and Raider fans don't go get Aaron Rodgers here the
other side the other way, get somebody else. Uh. Now
we're gonna talk about the NBA trade deadline here, but
we do have new news that is just coming in
right now. It's NFL Honors Night. We've seen a lot
of people get awards so far. Tonight the Jets have
the Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year with Sauce
(30:30):
Gardner and Garrett Will you want? You want an award
for the best first half? Yeah, to watch your season, Tank,
Brian Dable your NFL Coach of the Year. We'll get
into that coming up in a little bit. But the
m v P was just announced, and I would say
not to anyone's surprise, Zach will not to anyone's surprise,
(30:52):
I'm sorry. Was that Least Valuable Players announcer? Most Valuable Player?
I don't know that they give out and now what
do they do they do? I thought it was least
You know what what would be great is if Roger
Goodell had to do that during the State of the
NFL Union speech here. I love the referees. I love this.
By the way, the worst player in the league has
voted upon by opponents, Kenny Pick. It finished second, but
(31:17):
it was a distant second right there. Um, Your m
v P voting breaks down like this. The guy who
won forty eight votes. The guy came in second, one
first place vote, forty eight first place votes for the
guy who won. One first place vote for the guy
came in second. No first place votes of the guy
who came in third, coming in third. Josh Allen coming
(31:41):
in third, coming in second, Sauce Gardner, what no, come on, man,
don't perpetrate for all people have money on this coming
in second? Little not really. Russell Wilson coming in second.
I'm sorry he got was mr Mr Mr Unlimited has
(32:03):
some explaining to this is. This is where I'm going
to take the win because I told you before the
season he was going to win NFL m v P.
He came in second. I take that. We're at the win.
Nobody picked him. Jalen Hurts comes in second, getting one
first place vote for m v P. Should have had more.
He's the real m v P. I don't get it,
(32:24):
but the winner is with forty eight first place votes.
John Stamos it is John Stamos for playing the drums video.
You know what, the Beach Boys are going back out tour.
I bet you bet you every dollar I have in
my pocket that he's behind the drums for at least
part of it. Uh, your winner and m v P
(32:45):
is Patrick Mahomes. Uh, you kind of got the sense
of the season went on. Look, Mahomes was coming on
at the end, and let's give him another m v P.
I'm sorry, I disagree, right, I disagree. I disagreed. Everybody
wrote the team off because Tyreek Hill went away. And yes,
Travis Kelsey is a generational guy. Look at the rest
(33:06):
of that offense. All right, good offensive line, stipulate to that,
But in terms of the rest of their weapons, who
scares you at any point as a running back or
wide receiver outside of Kelsey? Nobody people expected this team
to go off the deep end you mentioned Russell Wilson.
Folks were calling for Denver to be better for the
Raiders and Derek Carr going uh huh uh and uh
(33:29):
doing his blue sway and choose impression that he was
gonna be better, and everybody thought the Charges were gonna
run away and hide. Guess what they still need. They're
looking for a head trainer to keep guys on the field.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs number one seed they keep
the line moving. Look, I get the excellence of Mahomes
and I get that. Okay, they were able to restart
(33:50):
the the the second half of the of the mahomest
this year, the year they were better. I get it.
He also had twelve turnovers. He had twice as many
turnovers as Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts was close to him
for total touchdowns, right, oh, but jail for two. Yeah,
but you gotta count the rushing touchdown. You're gonna count
the rushing yards. It's close, all right, It's it's close
(34:12):
for it to be this kind of vote. We've seen
Mahomes do this. We've seen we have not seen Jalen
Hurt because he give him the comeback Player of the Year.
He was given that instead of g from he had
a good year, least year. He's coming back from a
good year. Now he was good. Now he's great. He
came back and he was strong to work. It's okay,
(34:32):
you're not gonna win. I'm just trying to give you
like you're trying to stump for this guy. Looks. Homes
says every he's just because he was great, doesn't mean
you kick him to the curb. That's like saying right now,
NICOLEA Yoki shouldn't get consideration because he's won two straight
in the Sulky in the NBA. I'm not saying he finished. Look,
he's saying the guy could finish second instead of finishing
(34:53):
first by a long shot. Now, did Hurts getting hurt
at the end of the year, probably hurt him? And
that's a lot of times I just said hurt in
the last five the word did him going out the
last couple of games? Yeah, But what happened the Eagle
strug Gardner Minshew was the fair haired boy for a week.
I mean, Jalen Hurts did stuff we haven't seen in
the NFL for a while. He brought this team from
(35:13):
where they were last year, and he brought them up
a huge He was the big addition to the team.
He as far as from last year to this year,
why were they so much better? Because he made that
huge joke bringing a J. Brown. You've got a good
offensive line and the run game, right, which he's part
of that. I don't discount that. But you look at
the combination of Gainwell, Sanders and Scott, you've got a
(35:37):
triumvirate that really makes that team move when they can't
run the ball. They're they're not nearly as effective. By
the way everybody lining up to tee off on them.
It's unbelievable. Robbie Gold and Debo and Michael Parsons, like,
I didn't say half of what these guys said. That's
(35:57):
a whole other psychology. Eight hundred yards and thirteen touchdowns.
I mean, you're you're adding those thirteen touchdowns to the
three about Homes at forty one when someone's trying to
be first night. But we've seen Mahomes do this and
there were where they were a year ago. You saw
Jalen Hurts be responsible for a huge jump in not
(36:17):
only UH talent level, but what he brought his team.
And he brought his team from hey, we we we
we kind of squeaked into the playoffs last year and
now we were the most dominant team in the NFL
this year. And it's like, no, no, no, we just
happened to like Mahomes more. Don't forget about seventy and
what the defense did. You can tell there's already there's
there's some kind of bias against Hurts. Years don't like him, right, Well,
(36:40):
tell me players that have said great things about Jail,
how do you not like well, but they've also dismissed
the team as a whole. Sirianni's job here named the
super Bowl. They hate everybody. They hate Philadelphia. We'll have
more on this coming up. They hate Rocky the tire

were going to Vegas. We're here. So far, nobody's been arrested.
The night is young, especially for you. Are you know
I did get padded down. An extra kind of a
next level thing is security got to take one of
(01:05):
my uh my debit card out of my pocket. They
kind of came all on board. People were laughing, kind
of watching me get felt up by security. It was
really an interesting kind of dynamic. I told security, Hey, listen,
watch for the guy do the old Hey you a
t M cards something. Make sure he's all the good? Hey,
can you move your left leg a little further this way?
Movie level? Right leg? Like this getting weird? And there
(01:29):
were these two women just chuckling and enjoying every second
of it, Like is this good? It's like you you
flying to Vegas with me or what like that. We're
going here like two bad because they're good main friends.
But no, it was good. Uh. And here we are.
We made it live. I am not incarcerated. You are
doing everything you can to perpetrate problems here. We've seen
(01:50):
a lot of Chiefs fans, a lot of Eagles fans,
and you're walking around in your jets. Come on, buddy,
come on trying to speak nonsense into existence. Here we
are from the Blue Wire Studios at the Wind Resort. Uh.
And awesome set up, awesome time to be here. But
yes I am here, and I told you we are
here to convince the Raiders they do not need Aaron Rodgers.
(02:12):
They do not need him. They need somebody else. I
want Aaron Rodgers. Did you see NFL Honors Sauce Gardner,
Garrett Wilson, Rookies of the Year, Priest Hall Hall would
have won if he was healthy. Aaron Rodgers, don't go
into the darkness. I want to. I want to make
sure you see that they had the offensive a defensive
Rookie of the Year, and they would have had another
one if he was healthy. Did you see that? Forget
(02:34):
about Vegas, forget about a year, forget about all of this. Yes,
all your Raider fans walking by right now. No, no, no,
Aaron Rodgers is our guys. Stay away from it, buddy.
I I have to go the other way. I'm all
about promoting where we're at. We're at the Blue Wire Studios,
at the wind Resort. I want them to have great prosperity,
and that means you bring in a quarterback that can
(02:55):
actually move the needle. Derek Carr had the great Vegas
connection to the International Hotel and everything you saw in
Bob's Lureman's Elvis epic right, all those things where he
was giving you his best. He could an Elvis imperson agent.
He's gone. He's gone. Now it's time for the dirty
pirate looking Aaron Rodgers to come in and lead that
(03:17):
pirate ship forward, leaving your jets in the wind crying.
Look look, look, just again, I want to say offensive
and defensive Rookies of the Year. And we would have
had we would have added if one guy was getting
into the other guy that doesn't matter, would have had
first and secont And now he's got to come back
(03:37):
from injuring two guys that could have won. Did you
see videos he's posting very fine. Yeah, he's chirpy. He
saw it. Was one of my favorite players, by the way,
I normally, you know, I like my wall of meme
bit by bit. I've been collecting autograph trading cards or
jersey cards and eventually jerseys of my favorite defensive lineman.
That's where I live. I mean, I'm built like a
(03:58):
fire plug, so it works like that. But Brecee Hall
was a guy that I enjoy because he's small, fast,
and chirpy. Sure, the chirpiness is what gets him over
the top, because he's just saying, look, I'm good, Yeah,
I'm good. I may be damn great. And you won
that award because I got hurt. I love that, which
means he's gonna suplex is ask the first opportunity he
gets in many cases, Why Aaron Rodgers is going to
(04:20):
go to that and needs to go to the jets,
but he's in darkness. Look, no, no, not yet, he's
not no, no, no, no, he's gonna watch the games.
What now, what do you think he's gonna eat before
he goes into darkness? Uh? Bad? Is that diet? I'm
trying to think of dark I'm thinking of black food,
like seaweed or octopus or what else? The black? Yeah? Yeah, pasta. Yeah,
(04:47):
he's like you down because I gotta be honest right now,
you were trying to sell me out of pasta place
for dinner. See if they have the they do have
they have that I can get on board. Yeah, you
know real quick. My dad wants told me a story
that stays with me forever. I never wanted octopus because
he told me once because this is my dad, right, this,
this is my dad in the nutshell. It was like
five or six years old, Like I saw octopus on
(05:07):
a menu somewhere we were, and I said, my dad's
never want to have octopus. And I said, why what
have octopuses? Because what happened? If they don't cook it
all the way you eat it? And then you know octopus,
you know they grow arms back and stuff. And if
if they said yeah, he goes. What happens is the
octopus reforms in your stomach and it comes out of
the front and front of you and blows out of
your stomach. I'm like, I don't never want to have octopus.
(05:31):
You know what, There's far more effective things to do, food, beverage,
other consumables that you would encounter in your every day.
Not often someone showing up like you go to McDonald's
and fast food restaurants a lot, not a lot of
OCTOPI showing up his potential menu, Like I would try
to scare you with the more likely scenario. You know,
(05:52):
drugs are bad, you know things of that. You know
you want another word for my dad another My dad
in a nutshell. He said to me, hey, you always
have to tell him of your mother if you get
a cut that gets infected. And I said why, you
know obviously he wanted, you know, if you get a cut, sorry,
so it doesn't get infected. You want to touch so
it doesn't get inffected. And I said why, obviously they
want to make sure that nothing happens. To tell me
when you get a cut, I said, why, he goes, well,
(06:13):
because here's what happens. If your cut gets infected. We
have to die all of your clothes purple. And eventually
we're gonna run out of close and by we can't
afford close every single day. We can't keep buying purple clothes.
So eventually you have to go to school naked. Right John,
that you meet me, I've got a wardrobe from the purple.
I'm wearing a lilac plumb kind of shirt. When that's
when I'm four years old, And this is my grandmother's
(06:34):
favorite story ever, because I was over my grandparents house
one day. I was probably four and a half five
years old, and I had a cut and my grandmother
is looking at says, oh, you gotta cut. It looks
like it's infected. And I went, She's like, what's happening.
What's happening. Dad told me that if I had infected cut,
to tie my clothes purple and I couldn't see, you
might run out of clothes. I have to go to
(06:55):
school naked, and and she gave me a look that
I still remember this day, like, partly I want to
kill your dad, but oh my god, this is hilarious,
and she got on the phone and call me. I'm
told of that story. So that's my dad. That's what
it's like growing up with my dad. You know what
I've been funny though, is if someone else in the
family would have uh committed to the bit and then
the background been playing viola or something, well it's infected,
(07:19):
you know, like he's on the Titanic getting ready to
go down. But you said the thing there about ending
badly right. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen Live

the A People Offensive Player of the Year is Justin Jefferson.
Uh gino. Smith is the comeback player. You know, how
did the comeback player? You suck and then suddenly you're
you're to come back? You were still on a rockster
back He didn't come back from an injury back, You
(08:02):
didn't come back for some family tragedy and illness whatever,
just because you sucked and suddenly you played better. You're
the comeback player like that. That's ridiculous, dude. You just
gave me the finger. I didn't you Just You've gotta
calm down, man, You've got there's only one guy that
you just gave me the finger because you're so mad
that Gino Smith one comback player of the Year. It
(08:24):
was hard for you. You kept pointing to your Jets
sweat and he's not yours Anymore's not a get anymore.
I'm I'm worried. All right, Let's have Frostburg, let's have
uh some kind of emergency medical standing by if that's
gonna be harmon. Uh, But look we have have we
have the m v P coming up as well. But look,
I can see the future. And that's why I'm glad
(08:46):
we're here because I could see the future. Because I
can see and I don't like it. Because I can
see Aaron Rodgers. It's quickly whittled down to two teams
for him, right, it's Vegas or the Jets. That's it.
It's Vegas. Or the Jets, and it's gonna be just
like Kirk Cousins all bleeping over again, where it's gonna
be Jets, Vikings, Jets, Vikings, and Aaron rid is gonna
nod his head into Packers going yes, Jets, Vikings, Jets, Vikings,
(09:09):
and the and the and the Packers are gonna sit
back and they're gonna get the bid from the Jets
that Woody Johnson's gonna call, and Joe Douglas is gonna
he's gonna say, all right, here, here's our two first
round picks. Uh and and and we'll pay Aaron Rodgers sad,
we're gonna do this this and the Packers gonna go
uh huh huh okay, hey, Mark Davis, Yeah, look, this
is what we got from the Jets. It's two first
round picks, and they're paying X amount of his salary.
(09:30):
We figure it out. How about you give us a
little bit more than that and you pay a little
bit more of a salary and you guys can get
Aaron Rodgers and Mark Davis is gonna say yes, and
Vegas is gonna panic, and they're gonna go crazy because
they're complete total wild cards and they're gonna wind up
getting Aaron Rodgers. That's exactly how this is gonna go,
and we're gonna be left with Jimmy Bleep and Garoppolo.
Don't how I didn't give you the finger when I
(09:50):
said that. I said a nice and you kind of
did as calm as I could, knowing full well that
that's how it's gonna be. I mean, my hands are
are are thritic, so part of that one a finger
of you. Not No, you're just trying to interpret things
like that. I mean, Frostberg, did you been looking for
anger and vitriol all day long? You were trying to
(10:11):
have me putting the slammer so that you could host solo.
You had the spray paint out like you were the
n w O. We're in a studio here at the
Blue Wire Studios at the wind where you were going
to take the giant graphic and spray paint online across
my name to excise me from the show. That's what
you were doing. But for Aaron Rodgers tell you this ahead,
(10:31):
because you know what would have happened if I did
do that. No one would have given me the finger
In the first five minutes of the show. I think Frostberg. No,
Frostberg had to be happy here talking about it would
have been your brands and it would have just been
all Jets, Jets, Jets, all that. Like how you gave
me the finger because of Geno Smith, not because I
did know ar. You gave me Gino Smith comeback Player
of the end boom finger, Like how are you so
(10:52):
mad about not? Look at its theater of the mind.
The only more bad is if Geno Smith wins Comeback
player here and they stopped the lake if they did
uh to celebrate Lebron get passing the scoring record and
sell them are they're gonna stop the game tonight when
he doesn't play for ten minutes? By the way, the
leading score in NBA history is here, Lebron James. Let's
(11:16):
do that while we're at it. But the point is
is Davante Adams gonna be there like Oprah Winfrey. He's
got a giant bow on a house in a car
and that's the extra incentive. Look, you could move into
my neighborhood. See nobody on the Jets can do that.
Why do you want Davonte Adams when you could have
Garrett Wilson and Brie saw you don't know if Josh
Jacobs is gonna stay because while Josh Jacobs has said
he's got a tattoo, he wants it, But then he
(11:38):
said like you I can't. I am coming back for
cheap you have up a book exactly problem. He was
talking to them like he was Mr. Paint. The Raiders
have problems, man. Aaron Rodgers doesn't want that smoke. You
want Jet smoke, Jets, I don't want. We are with
a straight face, gonna talk trying to talk about the
are you Jets? If you were to rank the functional
(12:02):
franchisees in the National Football League, do the Jets or
Raiders get into the top twenty five? Doesn't matter? No,
but it doesn't matter because he's thirty one and thirty two.
He's outside of the Colts and the Houston Texts and
the Lions actually had a better year, so they're but
the Lions are actually trending in the right direction. No no, no, yeah,
yeah yeah no. But but the whole thing, it doesn't
(12:24):
matter because it's down to the Jets of the Raiders.
For Aaron Rodgers, there's a whole bunch of there might
be a mystery. The White Sox Andster no, but that's
that's stuff that that's what it's down to. You may
not like it, but that's what it's down to, and
that's how it's gonna go. And he's gonna come out
of the darkness and there's gonna be reporters. They're just
like punk Satawny Phil and waiting to see what happens.
(12:44):
And Phil's gonna say, Nancy Taylor, I sat behind you
in twelve grade English, and Aaron Rodgers gonna go Yes,
I've decided after the Darkness where I somehow got text
for the packers and we worked out in my contract situation.
I'm emerging from the darkness for the dark this and
I'm going to the Raiders. That's just how it's gonna
Brian Doyle Murray show up in a top hat and

I had a good feeling about our experience here. What
was gonna happen? Because I get on the plane and
the flight attendants somewhere in my Mets hat and he goes, oh,
Matts and this is guys, probably about you know, twenty
five years old. He's hanging out in middle of the
plane and uh saw Mets like, yes, I like what
you guys did this offseason. I said me too. We
(14:54):
bought everything, and he goes, yeah, yeah, it's in fact,
we're gonna we're gonna buy your airline. And guy last,
she's how about everything you guys did? And oh my god,
your closer is so good? They play that song oh
you kid man when they play Narco, everybody starts going nuts.
He's going yeah, he goes and he signed Verland or
yes we're talking, and then just out of the blue,
two girls mini skirts Southern Axrican walking by excuse me?
(15:16):
Can I put my my my bag on the top
here of that? And then done that was he was
done talking to me. It was over. It was I
was like, yeah, okay, the Mets. Can it comes to girls?
Can I get my can I put my thing up?
I want to go? What happened? Edwin Diaz a Narco
tad don, what happened to that? You know what? To
talk to me about that anymore? Now? As soon as
(15:37):
they showed up, boo oh yeah right, let me get
your Let me get your your bag, put him up here. Here,
you go right in here. There, your right in the top.
I'll pick it up here. Look at my muscles, right
right a right there. We're great. We're talking about the Mets. Great.
I'm like, oh yeah, guys, talking to me about the
Mets is pretty cool. Can I can you help? You
would have stood there saying let me see you, let's
see your lat strength, go ahead, and I would have said, hey, listen,
(15:57):
lay help you in admitte, I'm talking about the Mets.
So did you started? Somebody on your phone? Fan? I
ran into our our buddy producer from over an AM
five seventy and then realized that my flight had changed
to another gate. Oh so luckily luckily you got there
or unluckily we're having a nice conversation. And that was
and I looked like, why is it still say Oakland
on this board. That Plade's wrong gone. Now I want
(16:19):
to say this, I don't want to say this. I've
not been arrested you right, but you were on the
path to it because you flipped me off in the
first segment of the show. Because not getting me arrested.
People that are standing up and you know what they
said for you. You can't do it for you, Spider,
don't take any of his nonsense. Oh, I think that's
a felody. In Las Vegas, I think they take you
out to bid the desert. You're hanging out with Ken
(16:39):
Jong and then you don't get back out again. That
second season of True Detective, tell you I love Hunter
in my underwear than honey, you stopped lasting awhile ago, Honey,
you stopped walking a long time ago. Uh So, today
was trade deadline day in the NBA, and we saw
a lot of second round picks get traded back and
forth a lot. You got five, how about five? You
(17:02):
need five? We need seven. We need to set a record.
Give you every second round pick we have until they
changed the draft down to one round. Uh And we
saw a lot of minor moves. We'll get to the
Kevin Durant story in a minute, because you know, I
think I can be an NBA insider. But the Lakers
are the biggest movers and shakers because they remake their
(17:22):
whole roster. Right. They trade away Patrick Beverley, they trade
away Thomas Bryant, they get more bomba. Uh. They've made
other moves, and it's it's a lot of minor stuff.
A lot of stuff was minor, which is what teams
are doing around trying to figure out way. It's like
the Nuggets get Thomas Howard to to try to it's
all about peace. And they didn't make any moves. Yeah, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude,
(17:45):
you but dude, all your stars tonight and you couldn't
beat the Nets. They played with three guys. You know
what they did. They flipped everybody off. They clicked the
organization off, they flipped the coach off. They said, to
see you in hell, I'm not playing that. Ben Simmons sucks.
Ben Simmons didn't take a shot and you still never
takes a shot, and that's nothing new. You still lost
to the Nets. He's the second best LSU player they've
(18:06):
got on the roster. He just quit on the season.
That's okay. I saw people in Chicago reporting that if
they gave up all the assets they had to bring
back Derek Rose, that more than half the fan base
would be happier. That was the running joke in Chicago
for Derrick Rose. Send Zach Levin, but like that was
the joke, Like that, fans are so hateful of the
(18:29):
organization at this point, they jeer the return of Derek Rose.
In that scenario, I mean you you you didn't just
lose like oh, on the last buzzer beater, dude, you
got smoked by the nets again. They played three guys
and you lost to the next. But but you mentioned
all the Lakers moves. And this is what I love
is they they had four new guys and they're starting
lineup tonight, and you they didn't need to know each
(18:51):
other's names as long as you're wearing the right colors. Hey, hey,
name on the front, Spencer, Hi, Spencer rom cam And
that speech I was with the son's right. I was
traded here too. Great, okay, great, I'll pass. Do you pass?
And I remember you from the thing with the guy
in the place. Look funny that you bring up the
Lakers we got our guy Frostburg here and and and
little incremental moves and they don't have to be world beating.
(19:12):
But I love the fact that Briant gets traded because
he's famously the guy calling for the ball on Lebron's
record breaking shot and they said, see it, we can't
have that kind of selfishness here. We're going for history.
That might be my favorite. Right, if Lebron James ever
does an autograph signing where you can send things in,
I might want a six team by twenty of that.
(19:32):
I want Phil Knight to sign it. I want Lebron
to sign it. All the guys that didn't bother to
play defense on the play, and I want Bryant clapping
for the ball. That's what I want. That was one
of my favorite images in sports history. But look, here's
the thing about the Lakers, right, and this is why
I love what they did. What do we say last
night with a trade for Russell Westbrook? Right? Is that
(19:54):
gonna work? They've dot like they've remade half the roster.
Is the Russell Westbrook trade gonna work? Is d'angela Russell
gonna wind up be ing it? I don't know, because
you're talking about these wholesale changes, but I know what
wasn't working. Do something wasn't even if it's right, And
the Lakers doing all of this because they know the
robster we have isn't working. So let's throw in some lightning.
(20:14):
Let's throw in some new energy and see how it
works out. Like the Cavaliers did this like twice with
Lebron at the trade deadline when they traded away half
their team. Look, it's not working, we're not where are
in the middle of the pack. And then but it's
not like you and you you watched him evaporate, but
it's not like you can't do that. You can do
So now the Lakers can be successful because now they've
(20:37):
read because I but it doesn't matter because I know
what they had been doing wasn't working, So why not
do this if it's bad and doesn't work. Guess what,
it wasn't working the other way. So it's not like
you were twenty games into the season, right, If you're
fifteen to twenty games in, you're like, all right, at
some point health, everything's gonna coalesce, Russ or whatever. You
maybe maybe you still hold out hope, which as we know,
(20:58):
is either a great word or a dangerous were depending
on which way we want to go. But you're you're
deep enough into the season, you're past the fifty mark
in terms of games played, the same working. The morale
is nothing at zero and whatever we had Dan woikon
we were talking about Anthony Davis and his response to
Lebron and the record whatever else. There's obviously fractures beyond
(21:23):
what's going on with that game right in terms of
how this team has been running. So what do you do?
You get a hard reset and maybe this propels you forward.
Maybe it means nothing. Maybe they're they're just just terrible.
But I gotta think if you're D'Angelo Russell, who at
this point we're playing Connect the Dots through NBA history,
maybe he might end up playing with more teams by
(21:44):
time he's thirty. Is that a record yet? Can I
get stats to run that record for him? Or whoever
we do that? He could be the new Chris Catling.
I think that play with like the teams in twelve
years he got Catling into the show, So you win
right there. Head band and a guy who looked like
he was he's like Grandville Waiters, looked like he was
fifty five when he was twenty seven. T J. Jason
(22:05):
Smith with his gatlin gunning for the big phrase of
the night on the show. Nicely done. But yeah, it's
he'll do something even if it's wrong. Right, you're trying
to appease your fan base. And for Lebron James, clearly
he's behind the scenes going to say working, to say working,
we got twenty seven games, what are we doing here?
(22:26):
Twitter and out about a fresca Mike hat swollen down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
So yeah, so it works. And of course Lebron not
playing tonight for the Lakers nationally televised game on T
and T. Yeah, it's like from the other night when
a craptastic effort that you lose the winnable game. Yeah,
and then you don't bother to play in this and
(22:47):
we don't have anybody tonight. It doesn't it doesn't matter
gonna win tonight. You're not gonna win that. Look, it's
fifteen fifteen right now. But you have nobody tonight, you
all but eight players, you're not going to win. So yeah, listen,
and you know Lebron said, hey man, we're not winning
this game tonight, man, But so we're gonna sit out.
I'm sitting out. You don't need me, then I'll be
ready to go. Hey, give me this, be ready for Saturday,
(23:11):
his mental health day. But he's skipping a naturally televised
game tonight, quitter, So it doesn't matter he's skipping. He
skipping a game tonight. This is why I was mad
when they stopped the game for ten minutes the other night.
He's half ass effort of just randomly taking nights off.
You don't like that. You don't like Geno Smith when
he come back? Don't hear? Why who do you want
to when come back players? To mean the guy that
went through some adversity you sucked. He he was drafted
(23:34):
by the Jets, that had to play there for years.
He got paid, but it took him a long time
to get past that adversity. I mean, how many years
and he's in his second decade. That's a comebootball league.
That's you're coming back from nothing, You're coming back from
playing for the job. But it's not like he just
playing for the rough Riders or something. He's playing for
the Jets. That's stuff thing, dude, that I mean, it's
been gone from the Jets for a long but it
(23:56):
doesn't matter. Are you gonna start thinking? The memory remains
my metallica. It takes people so long to come back
from playing for the Jet. Sometimes it takes them a year,
two years. Sometimes recovered guys go into the retirement. Look
what happened? Man? What happened to me? Where'd I go? Look?
That's how that's how it works. Do you think that's
the case? All the free gear you get, all the
(24:17):
sweatsuits or whatever else. At some point you look in
your garage you like, I can never escape this. So
then you have a giant bond fire or something that
you have to have one big purge once and for all.
Oh man, I'll tell you it takes a lot. I'm
I'm I'm upset that you're upset about Geno Smith really
and I'm setting you flipped me off. But okay, you're
(24:38):
not upset about that at all. That's nightly occur because
if you get arrested because you're on you know what,
you know what? Flipping me off the in the beginning
of the show, that's a gateway. That's a gateway. Maybe
I needed I needed to let some steam off. Maybe
that's what we're in Vegas. We had lunch today. It
was great. We walked around. You got all these betting sheets.
You're gonna spend your dough? Did you see that? Gonna?
(25:00):
Did you see that? When I bring you are the bets?
They are really cool. I got an old school win
like remember the old part, the old parley cards, you
bet you know, three out of three for five dollars,
four for four for ten dollars. Now they got old
school one like this, But you could do that. I'm
looking at back filling out with your pen in the
all yard one six for one on on a three
(25:23):
team barley back in college, giving parley sheets out to
the people in my door may play statue Olympic limitations
has long gone on that it's even got the same
thing to fill out. And I'm filling out the man,
look as much as technolog Look at you just ripped that.
Look at you're ready to submit? Did that voidn't right there? No?
I ripped the bottom of so great though, like to
(25:46):
be able to go in. And I walked in and
there's a steady stream of people baking their bets. And
I go down the line and you've got all the
sheets and all right, here's the sheet for the NHL.
Here's one for college buckets, here's a short one for
the NBA. There's a few games tonight. And then I
go to pull out the NFL one and it is
a book. It is an absolute book. And we were
(26:08):
going through it like there's almost a full page of
Jalen Hurts props. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, right, just Jalen Hurts.
There's like three above all the Hurts, and then there's
like two or three at the back end. It's it's
amazing the number of things you can wager on. Uh,
I'll tell you what. The wind has been great. We're
having a great time and look forward to the rest
of our stay and broadcasting live and screaming at each
(26:29):
other here on Fox. We have news coming in right now.

Jets now have two Hall of Famers in one class.
Think about that. I mean, how how crazy is that?
Two Hall of famers? Well, Patriots legend, Darrell Reevas, stop that.
Stop Patriots hall of famer, who look at that? A yeah,
(28:00):
you want to flip me off again? Now? Ye Patriots,

you can't, dude, you can't. You're you're I bet your
heart's like a hummingbirds right now. It's like maybe all right,
I can't straighten. That's that's the paky out. It's still busted.
We're working on the ligaments, but I'm ready. That is

the Jets and did nothing the second time around. He's
in the Hall of Fame. Means he retired a Patriots
and stole your money. He's in the home as a
player and as a businessman, so he goes it's a businessman.
He's unparalleled both of it because he took it. Manage
of the Jets is synonymous with the Jets. He's in
(29:03):
the Hall of Fame as a jet owner of the jet.
That's Jets, Jets, Patriots, Jets Hall of Famer. Look at
that another one. Just just stop, just stop. I should

Fresca Mike gets swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harman coming up next. Um evidence
(29:25):
that I'm pretty sure I could be an NBA insider,
And I mean like I could start tonight and within
a month it would be about Jason Smith's NBA insider.
I could do it? Is that because something huge that
happened the NBA trade deadline convinced me of that. That's
next right here from the tirerac dot Com studios, We're
live in Vegas from Blue Wire at the Wind Resort
Hotel Casino. Keep it air Fox. Be sure to catch
(29:47):
live editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific Fox Sports Radio.
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,
Shark or something, Live from the Blue Wire Studios here
at the Win Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Harmon and I spending some time trying to convince raiders
(30:09):
and Raider fans don't go get Aaron Rodgers here the
other side the other way, get somebody else. Uh. Now
we're gonna talk about the NBA trade deadline here, but
we do have new news that is just coming in
right now. It's NFL Honors Night. We've seen a lot
of people get awards so far. Tonight the Jets have
the Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year with Sauce
(30:30):
Gardner and Garrett Will you want? You want an award
for the best first half? Yeah, to watch your season, Tank,
Brian Dable your NFL Coach of the Year. We'll get
into that coming up in a little bit. But the
m v P was just announced, and I would say
not to anyone's surprise, Zach will not to anyone's surprise,
(30:52):
I'm sorry. Was that Least Valuable Players announcer? Most Valuable Player?
I don't know that they give out and now what
do they do they do? I thought it was least
You know what what would be great is if Roger
Goodell had to do that during the State of the
NFL Union speech here. I love the referees. I love this.
By the way, the worst player in the league has
voted upon by opponents, Kenny Pick. It finished second, but
(31:17):
it was a distant second right there. Um, Your m
v P voting breaks down like this. The guy who
won forty eight votes. The guy came in second, one
first place vote, forty eight first place votes for the
guy who won. One first place vote for the guy
came in second. No first place votes of the guy
who came in third, coming in third. Josh Allen coming
(31:41):
in third, coming in second, Sauce Gardner, what no, come on, man,
don't perpetrate for all people have money on this coming
in second? Little not really. Russell Wilson coming in second.
I'm sorry he got was mr Mr Mr Unlimited has
(32:03):
some explaining to this is. This is where I'm going
to take the win because I told you before the
season he was going to win NFL m v P.
He came in second. I take that. We're at the win.
Nobody picked him. Jalen Hurts comes in second, getting one
first place vote for m v P. Should have had more.
He's the real m v P. I don't get it,
(32:24):
but the winner is with forty eight first place votes.
John Stamos it is John Stamos for playing the drums video.
You know what, the Beach Boys are going back out tour.
I bet you bet you every dollar I have in
my pocket that he's behind the drums for at least
part of it. Uh, your winner and m v P
(32:45):
is Patrick Mahomes. Uh, you kind of got the sense
of the season went on. Look, Mahomes was coming on
at the end, and let's give him another m v P.
I'm sorry, I disagree, right, I disagree. I disagreed. Everybody
wrote the team off because Tyreek Hill went away. And yes,
Travis Kelsey is a generational guy. Look at the rest
(33:06):
of that offense. All right, good offensive line, stipulate to that,
But in terms of the rest of their weapons, who
scares you at any point as a running back or
wide receiver outside of Kelsey? Nobody people expected this team
to go off the deep end you mentioned Russell Wilson.
Folks were calling for Denver to be better for the
Raiders and Derek Carr going uh huh uh and uh
(33:29):
doing his blue sway and choose impression that he was
gonna be better, and everybody thought the Charges were gonna
run away and hide. Guess what they still need. They're
looking for a head trainer to keep guys on the field.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs number one seed they keep
the line moving. Look, I get the excellence of Mahomes
and I get that. Okay, they were able to restart
(33:50):
the the the second half of the of the mahomest
this year, the year they were better. I get it.
He also had twelve turnovers. He had twice as many
turnovers as Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts was close to him
for total touchdowns, right, oh, but jail for two. Yeah,
but you gotta count the rushing touchdown. You're gonna count
the rushing yards. It's close, all right, It's it's close
(34:12):
for it to be this kind of vote. We've seen
Mahomes do this. We've seen we have not seen Jalen
Hurt because he give him the comeback Player of the Year.
He was given that instead of g from he had
a good year, least year. He's coming back from a
good year. Now he was good. Now he's great. He
came back and he was strong to work. It's okay,
(34:32):
you're not gonna win. I'm just trying to give you
like you're trying to stump for this guy. Looks. Homes
says every he's just because he was great, doesn't mean
you kick him to the curb. That's like saying right now,
NICOLEA Yoki shouldn't get consideration because he's won two straight
in the Sulky in the NBA. I'm not saying he finished. Look,
he's saying the guy could finish second instead of finishing
(34:53):
first by a long shot. Now, did Hurts getting hurt
at the end of the year, probably hurt him? And
that's a lot of times I just said hurt in
the last five the word did him going out the
last couple of games? Yeah, But what happened the Eagle
strug Gardner Minshew was the fair haired boy for a week.
I mean, Jalen Hurts did stuff we haven't seen in
the NFL for a while. He brought this team from
(35:13):
where they were last year, and he brought them up
a huge He was the big addition to the team.
He as far as from last year to this year,
why were they so much better? Because he made that
huge joke bringing a J. Brown. You've got a good
offensive line and the run game, right, which he's part
of that. I don't discount that. But you look at
the combination of Gainwell, Sanders and Scott, you've got a
(35:37):
triumvirate that really makes that team move when they can't
run the ball. They're they're not nearly as effective. By
the way everybody lining up to tee off on them.
It's unbelievable. Robbie Gold and Debo and Michael Parsons, like,
I didn't say half of what these guys said. That's
(35:57):
a whole other psychology. Eight hundred yards and thirteen touchdowns.
I mean, you're you're adding those thirteen touchdowns to the
three about Homes at forty one when someone's trying to
be first night. But we've seen Mahomes do this and
there were where they were a year ago. You saw
Jalen Hurts be responsible for a huge jump in not
(36:17):
only UH talent level, but what he brought his team.
And he brought his team from hey, we we we
we kind of squeaked into the playoffs last year and
now we were the most dominant team in the NFL
this year. And it's like, no, no, no, we just
happened to like Mahomes more. Don't forget about seventy and
what the defense did. You can tell there's already there's
there's some kind of bias against Hurts. Years don't like him, right, Well,
(36:40):
tell me players that have said great things about Jail,
how do you not like well, but they've also dismissed
the team as a whole. Sirianni's job here named the
super Bowl. They hate everybody. They hate Philadelphia. We'll have
more on this coming up. They hate Rocky the tire
