Speaker 2 (00:22):
Ever you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome inside, Happy Wednesday, I mean outside of the
great state of Minnesota. Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It's the most anticipated Angels game since The Naked.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Done the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,
and yeah, it is that kind of night tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
For over forty years, tyro Rex's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shipped fast and free backed by free Road, has a
protection with convenient installation, feels like mobile tire installation. Tire
Act dot Com is the way tire buying should be.
So here's where we are right now, Game five of
the Western Conference Finals. They Oklahoma City Thunder Minnesota Timberwolves.
(01:16):
If you were to add the spread for live game
betting right now, it would be a tie. However, we
don't do that, so instead it is a sixty seven
to thirty two lead for the Thunder over the Timberwolves.
The Thunder lead by more points than the t Wolves have.
That's where we're at right now, eleven minutes to go
(01:39):
in the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The Timberwolves have three more turnovers than they have made
field goals.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah. Yeah, none of this is good for Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I mean, Anthony Edwards came out aggressively.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
None of this is good.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yes, he missed a lot of shots, and he missed
a lot of shots. And Jaden McDaniels he's seeing three rims.
I usually say shoot for the middle one. I don't
think that's been a good strategy. That's not been a
winning structure. But Edwards at least is going out swinging right.
I think it was ninety nine percent of all bets
this afternoon. We're on him to hit his over of
(02:12):
twenty six and a half points, and he may get there.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's gonna take some work, as he.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Has nine yeah nine at the halftime live live line
was plus thirty one.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You know, it's here's the thing like this game you
can talk about, you know, teams that Quinton come out
and all this. This is one of those games where
you could tell from the jump Minnesota is mentally done right, like,
but the game is on the schedule, so we have
to show up and play, because that's kind of what
it's been. One team has been sharp, smelling that we
(02:44):
can go to the NBA Finals, the other one playing
on the road, not nearly desperate enough, And this is
this is what happened. This is way Sometimes I go, BOYD,
do we really need that fourth game when a team
goes up, Like if a team goes up three to
one and they're going home, like that could be the end.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Of that should be it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You know, if it's three to one going on on
the road, okay, you never know, a team comes back
and they play, then you force a game six, okay,
but three to one, a team going home up three
to one, you could just end the series right there.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, here, here's the funny thing, right is I'm in
the car and I'm driving here to the Fox Sports
radio studios and you know, sitting in traffic on the
four h five and game starts. First possession for the
t Wolves misshot, couple of offensive rebound rebounds, and it
gets back out to Julius Randall, who hits a.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Three point shot. I'm like, all right, here we go,
here we go.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
All right, you got a three point shot, Julius Randall activated.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That was it. That was the That was the high
point of the half.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Now when he finishes three of seven, Uh, he had
four turnovers and he's sitting at a next robust minus
thirty one right now, but ineffective, uh and invisible in
virtually every possession thereafter. Like that was your high point,
because then they got boat raced, and all of a
sudden it was a double digit lead.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Just like that.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You finished the first quarter, are down twenty six to nine,
And I started looking at the baseball slate, Well, the
Dodgers already played. They lost on bullpen implosure. We were
going back and forth on that Sike socks Mets games
over like all these day games.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Oh, screwed Kershaw.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
We'll get to Tanner Scott and his five Scotti at five.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
He's got the fun here, fundy count already they did.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Kershaw went five, and you and I were texting, like,
he went five innings, this is exactly won.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
He was great.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
And then Tanner Scott comes in and yeah, his post
game was great.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
He's like, yeah, State, but I did enough and I
made some bitches and it's unfortunate that it went that way.
Like this is tell us, which you really think, Clayton,
I could read your mind. But that all of that
to say, a lot of the big baseball games were
already off the board for today. So I'm like, all right,
really leaning into this te Wolves uh and Thunder game
that the Timberwolves are gonna go down swinging. Nah nah,
(05:02):
mildcats man. This is like a little cat hanging out
in your park park parking spot, just waiting for you
to come home and then staring you down.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
If the NBA wanted to say, I mean really, if
they said, okay, it's a seven games best of seven.
But if a team is up three games to one
or three games to none and they're going home, like
that's it.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Are you gonna start doing other metrics too? If they've
led this series? No, no, no, the total minutes is
a three to one margin, pify to have that here too.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
If it's a if it's a three, If no, it's
it's got it's got three two If it's three one
or three to zero, and a team is going home,
then okay, but then on the road is different. Three
two is still potentially there for you. But three to
one or three is that, like, no, we're done. We're
not showing up. We're barely getting on the plane. So,
I mean, if the NBA listen, we don't want to
(05:55):
waste anybody's time. We don't need to do this. We
can seah, we we just have a lot of stuff happening.
We just have that.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
You gotta do make goods to the TV partners and
the way, and you got to give the money back.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Nobody's given any money. You can still go to the arena. No, no, well,
what are you gonna do? Play Paul on the Jump.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You go to the arena, right, and it's a party
and you're and and you're giving away you know, you're
giving out the Western Conference Final trophy. You're giving and
you're it's a big party and they play music and
stuff and there's games and maybe there's you know, face
painting or you know crafts.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
In the event that this series is declared over, you
will get a special concert by an A, B or
C list artist, depending on who's available at last minute.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, I mean, you turn it into like, okay, instead
of the game, it's gonna be kind of like a carnival.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And here's a Motley Crue cover band. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, you get a cover bed and you bring out
a dunk tank and stuff. Yeah, I'm all right, we're
going to the finals and I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
We had a party.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But you can't have the players or coaches and the
dunk tank. They might catch cold and all of a
sudden they're at a disadvantage for the next round.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
No'm gon, you don't put the You don't put the
players in. You put like other people in. You put like,
oh hey, let's get the PR department in this. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Really start getting kind of like all the anonymous quote
unquote phone calls that tip people off as to where
C and D list celebrities are going to eat lunch.
So it's the same thing kind of like, uh, you know,
we gotta we gotta get some quasi local celebrities to
go sit in the dun't tank. And you have your opportunity.
You don't like the local weather man, Yeah, and how's
(07:27):
your time to dunk him?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Channel Nut.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Here's Lloyd Lindsay Young coming in here. You can dunk
him everybody. What do you got Frostburg?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
This game's hurting my eyes?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But question for you? Yeah, sure, close your eyes, don't look,
don't look, be like at the end of Freight Raiders
the Lost Dark.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Don't look, Mary, don't look. Don't look at the Covenant.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
What's the only thing that sucks more than the Timberwolves tonight?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
That's a loaded question for this early in the evening.
Do you want me to do you want me to
blow your response? Or do you want me to say?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
You gotta go? What is it?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay? All right, go ahead?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
So I ask you you really knew it? I know
exactly what you're gonna say. I know anything worse than
the Timberwolves tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Well, hang on, hang on, give me piece of paper
so I could write it down.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
How do you not have paper? I always had paper.
Today I figured there'd be a run. Okay, turn your MICU.
I'm gonna tell you what Frostburg's gonna say. Turn your
mic off, turn your mic Okay, Frostburg, I told him
what I said. You're gonna say. Go ahead, ask again?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Do you know what sucks more than the Timberwolves tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
What sucks more than the Timberwolves tonight, the bleeping Lakers,
he's zagged down.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
They lost to this team that's getting drunk by thirty
that's fair point.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That is not what I thought you were gonna.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Including the parade for Edward. I think we were bolting.
We were both guessing the same thing. No, Rmin, what
what did I say? Frostburg was gonna say?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Scott?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, I thought you're gonna say ten Scott. Yeah, oh no,
I'm not wasting my.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Gonna wear it.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
But bleep and ruined day. Yeah, the Lakers think about it.
They got manhandled by this team that's getting blown out
by thirty something.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, it really, it really makes the makes This series
wasn't even close. No, no, not no, not no, not
even there's one game with the Thunder just said we
need we need a break, we need to relax.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Here. Game three, We're just gonna kind of a couple
of nice for the people.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah. Hey, and let me say this right, the other
big thing, right, because obviously this game is over, right,
You're we're gonna talk about the Thunder going to the finals.
We'll preview thunder Pacers tonight. But let me just say
you're not dead yet.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Okay, I mean McAfee's got beef with that New York celebrities.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Uh, let me say this because I really want to
say this. Yeah, because I would be embarrassed. Please NIX,
don't show up like this tomorrow. Give me a big, gutty,
concerted effort to extend the series. You know, because if
you do, the Pacers will put it away and go
home to try to win Game six. You know, the
(09:54):
the the officiating is going to be on your side
because the NBA wants another game. I don't show up
to tomorrow like this, Show up like you want to win,
be gritty, be gutty, give it one more time and
then hey, we see what happens for Game six. But
don't show up like this tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Do we have confirmation of Scott Foster eating a pastrami
sandwich down the street from Madison Square card and.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, I'm like, are you doing again?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I'm just waiting for the call. I know I'm gonna
get it right here, I know.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Just sitting outside the port Authority, I'm are you coming
or going?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
He's like, just waiting on a call.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The beginning.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
The beginning of the movie would be like him, like
out with a really attractive woman on a date and
it's like, hey, they just get back to her place
and then he gets a text and he goes, I'm sorry, baby,
I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But but I thought we lie. I thought we were
gonna have fun.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I like you, and he goes, now, I need to
tell you about who I am, and he takes off
your class. He goes, they call me the extender and
he jumps out the window.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But the entire time like he's you know, as he's
talking it out right, he's getting the page. It's almost
like he's got to go to a life saving surgery.
You must really have you know, you're a hostage negotiators.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Upe, I'm the extender.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I'm the extender.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
You know what out the window? Who the Nicks are?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The last shot is her looking out going, Oh, I
was on a date with the Extender. I'll call you
like it's like how would have like a deadpool vibe
the extender? And when when Adam Silver calls, I gotta go,
that's it. Are you the original Extender? No, Dick Pavetta
was the extender before me. Now I'm the extender and
(11:32):
I will pass this on at some point to someone else.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
He bequeathed me this title. It's like a Bond movie.
Who's the next Extender?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
No Tony Brothers, No, No, No, Dicky Nick Pavetta, Dick Pavex,
that's his nickname, Dick Pavetta to Scott Foster, to Tony's kick.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
There, Sarah is right there like the Green lanterns to
bring it back to the Ryan.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Will this circle be unbroken?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And they put a fights in some of these games, right,
even the last game it Will ended up being a
two point margin, and it was into the final possessions,
but then to absolutely no show here, careless turnover after
careless turnover, bad possessions and shots and look, fast break points.
We lamented your Nicks and their inability to work anything
(12:22):
in transition yesterday in their humbling loss to the Pacers.
It's much the same here. It's basically a no show
in fast breakpoints, Thunder getting back on defense, filling the lanes,
creating those anxious moments, bad passes, the extra pass that
finds its way at somebody's shin, and all of a
(12:44):
sudden we're on the on the ground rugby scrum for
the ball squirts out of bounds and we're going back
the other way. I mean, it's just been a pathetic
effort up and down. But congratulations on a job done.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You get to go back.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Julius Randall just hit a three. It's a twenty seven
point game now, so half time plus thirty one. I'm
feeling pretty good. If I had plus thirty one at half.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
T they had half times plus thirty one. What about
the plus eight and a half?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I start just.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Next to show up win tomorrow night. Give Let let
us all have give everybody another couple of days. You
never know what could happen. Maybe instead of Pop's Halliburton
who got banned, and be Tyre's Halliburton will get banned
for some reason who knows, I don't know. And maybe
they have a chance. That's the only way they have
a chance. But let let let's show up big. Let's
show up big for Game five. It's at home. It'd
(13:36):
probably be the last time we see shallow May Instiller
in all unless you just get the game five and
it's all empty and it's all people like those are
just regular billionaires.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I don't know who they are.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
In those seats. We're all the superstars not come to
not all they quit on the next Okay, I mean
I grant it, I buried them last night. But still, hey,
wait a minute, wait a minute, So this is what
one more game? Show up gritty because they do that,
they show up that they're gritty, they're gutty, they don't quit.
This is a team that doesn't know the meaning of that.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
They're there.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
They're the night mony python that keeps getting arms and
legs chopped off, going come on, gimebye, still got still gotcha?
Show up like that tomorrow night, Show up like that
one more time. That's all. That's all I ask.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Now, what would be comical is if all of those
A list actors are replaced by people that have just
been in mob movies. Just see if you can have
an intimidation factor baseline, the guys that are still left
around from you know, the Sopranos and Goodfellas and you
name it, they're all sitting there court side and doing
the evil eye. Okay, maybe you get Joe Pesci.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I mean I don't know. I mean, you got all
sorts of guys that you did. Did he retire to No? No,
but he did a TV show recently. He did he
did one with.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
It is an eighty five fifty seven lead for the
Thunder over Minnesota. It's basically been a thirty point game
since they had the opening tip. So we'll continue to
talk about the Thunder as they make their way to
the NBA Finals, but right now, joining us on the
hotline for big stories in the NFL that surround Caleb
(16:18):
Williams and Terry Bradshaw, longtime NFL insider. You can check
them out on thirty third Team. He is on Twitter
at Jason Cole sixty two. He is a Hall of
very Good voter. It is Jay Cole. What's happening?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Man?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
You know they've narrowed the number of people who can
make the Hall of Fame to a what I would
say is fame famous level. And you continue with this
very good thing. That's annoying.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Well, listen, there are view you let in very good
players every year to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
What's gonna get higher ratings the NBA Finals between ok
See in Indiana or a typical Jets game this year? Oh?
I got it.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well, you say typical Jets game? Like, what is that like?
A game where it's like ten to nine throughout, they
miss a field goal and a triple jinks off.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
The upright, and they're calling for the return of Salah.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah and Rogers.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Yeah no, sure, yeah, yeah. I just that sort of
a typical Jets game, Isn't that? At this point?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I think, I think, I think the Jets get higher ratings.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
I would agree, I would the only thing to higher
rated it could be the Caleb Williams running out for
for the home opener. See what see how much booing
he gets at the home opener.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You know, I'm glad you brought that up, because that's
that's one of the big stories today. Caleb Williams, who,
of course part of the Seth Wickersham article that we
talked about a week ago.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And look, not an article, a book, sorry, in a book.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Talking about all the quarterbacks talk to quarterbacks in high school, college,
the NFL guys who retired, you know, great, great angle
for a book. And we found out that Caleb Williams
and his dad didn't want to go to Chicago, wanted
to go any place else quarter we all.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Which we all knew before last draft, but they were
being honest about it.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, Okay, where quarterbacks go to die was the big
quote attributed to Caleb Williams. Bud he winds up getting
drafted by the Bears anyway, and here he isn't today he.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Said, no, no, no, I love being a Bear.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Jake Cole like, I mean, I know, I know, I know,
but if he doesn't start out like a house.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Of fire, Harmon, Harmon's not good.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Harmon's not great. I mean, but at this point he's
kind of come to realize that this is just how
it's gonna go for my teams. But no, Harmon's not here.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah, but Jay Cole Smith for the last eighteen months
has told me, I'm in the era of good feelings.
Everything's wonderful. You're gonna be talking about super Bowls and
championships and buy all sorts of merch.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
So he set me up to just cut me off
at the knees. Well, no, I didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
No, you did all that I didn't know about this
book was gonna come out that wow, that all that
Caleb Williams and his dad were all over with quotes
attributed to that. Not someone heard someone say it, but
year ago, says, hey, Caleb Williams dead told Seth Rickerson.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
This this season has been submarine faster than the Hunter,
redoff over.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So is it?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Ben Johnson saying, you idiot, you've killed us right before
our Spoilerlert.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yeah, it's pretty much what the season is going. It's
gonna be it's gonna be really great.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
DJ Moore saying, now the world will tremble at the
sound of our rockets.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
No, you idiot, you've killed us.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Sean Connery is a Russian. Was always awesome, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, yeah, you've lost another submarine Admiral.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Okay, that's Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I don't even know who's quarterbacking for the Vikings and
they've got better odds than the Bears to win the North.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
This is so classics J. J.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
McCarthy and the Unknown. But it's the Bears. It's the Bears,
is what they do.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
It's the Bears since Luckman died, since Luckman quit, right,
that's about right. It's about forties, right, eighty years before
you were, before your your dad was maybe born. It
was like this. It's bad, man, it's this is not good.
It's not it's not good because there aren't a lot
(20:43):
of there aren't a lot of people in Chicago who
are necessarily feeling Caleb Williams last year with the painted
nails and the crying and the holding the ball way
too long and all the other things that went with it,
And now he's got to deal with this, Like, yeah,
it's yeh, I'm not sure that he has the mental
(21:08):
toughness to put up with what's going to rain down
on him if unless he is perfect this season, Like
he's got to complete his first two hundred and thirty
five passes before they accept him something like that. You know,
two thirty five or two thirty five, What do you
guya go like six games without throwing it, without throwing
an incompleation somebody, Well, I mean with.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
The past chart they had last year, that would work
really well, Jacob.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It's all within five yards of the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
With all the deep routes that they ran, although he
makes the longer given how far he drifts in the
pocket backwards. Yeah, he does two things that I know
is like it's not only does he just retreat constantly
and try and throw off his back, but he retreats
in what is not a straight line. Have you ever
noticed that? Like, yeah, he drifts to one side of
(21:59):
the other, so that the offensive tackle who's in front
of him generally has no idea where he is, so
he doesn't know which way to block his guy and
totally leads the offensive lineman blind in the in the
process of this.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
So what you're saying is he's retreating better from these
comments than he is when he drops back to pants.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Yes, pretty much, pretty much.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Hey, but Ben Johnson is a wizard.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
That is That is a fantastic interpretation of this situation. Maga.
It's it's almost as it's like this compared to the
cavalier nature of Aaron Rodgers and his approach to playing
football this year. But good, Mike, don't know, I'm not
(22:49):
sure I sling it. Yeah, like that's really gonna work
in Pittsburgh, Yeah, where they they take their football very seriously.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Now, you mentioned Aaron Rodgers, and this brings us to
the Terry Bradshaw comments from yesterday, which are just absolutely hysterical.
He does an interview in which he talks about the
Steelers and what's going on with Rogers ending up in Pittsburgh,
and he says, it's a joke to me, this is
a joke that guy needs to stay in California, go
(23:22):
somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods
out there. So Terry Bradshaw does not want Aaron Rodgers
in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
This is basically the John Elway comments, what is it,
you know, another forty years later or something like that,
forty two years later, Well he can just go play baseball,
play base Yeah, he wants to be in California. A yeah,
don't do that, you know, like, that's my that's our man, Bradshaw.
(23:50):
I would take it seriously, except that this is how
Bradshaw's just made a living for for forty years, just
ripping other people. And in all fairness, Aaron Rodgers. As
much as I like Aaron Rodgers, I love to watch
him play. You know, dude, you got to decide what
you want to do, you really do. You just you
(24:12):
got to decide. You got to commit. I mean, it's
the end of May, this whole thing that you think, oh,
I'll just show up in July and I'll be I'll
be good man, It's going to be all right. But
that just doesn't work. I mean you should have learned that,
you know, last year with the Jets, like you weren't
ready to come back. It wasn't good. You weren't on
(24:34):
the same page or you know, your teammates, you weren't
on the same page much of the time until really,
what was it about week twelve or thirteen that he
started to look like he's on page with guys by
that team or by that time the season was over,
you know, it was truly what he's round up.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But that's the thing that gets me about him is
that as as much of a drama king as he
has been throughout his career, right, he's always you know, Okay, look,
I know what I need to do on the football field.
And I felt like last year and now I'm like,
does he really still want to play? Does he still
have that like I forget about? Oh, Pittsburgh is gonna
get him. He's going to make his make a decision
(25:12):
and we'll see if he's, as you know, can improve
on last year. I just go, how is is he
really going to show up and be this? Is this
mentally not locked in and you're expecting this to work
where you have Aaron Rodgers who just doesn't even feel
like he really wants to play at this point.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
You're completely correct. Your alternative, though, is Madson Rudolph.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Well, look, I'm not saying the Steelers know what the
hell they're doing, because clearly the NFL has passed them by,
which we've talked about plenty of times. But I mean still,
I mean, like I would, I would say, Oh.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
I'm not sure. I'm not sure i'd buy that. Okay,
I did buy that. They have a quarterback problem. Okay,
and I've had one for five years now.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, because they can't even the quarterback. Hey, I inherited
Ben Roethlisberger and things were great for thirteen years. Now
we have to pick some Oh wait, we can't do
that really well, we keep picking the wrong guy.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
Can I ask something who does pick quarterbacks?
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Well?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
In the history of this, like pack and a team
that's that's really good.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
At it, Packers hit thirty times thirty years.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No, man, the Steelers had been really good picking quarterbacks
for a long time.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
The guy, really they only picked two, They picked two guys.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, but when you pick the right guy, it's good.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
You're good for fifteen Cordell was pretty game.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
I understand, I understand, I understand what you're saying. Okay,
I'm not, but like no team has outside of like
earning a Corsi who took Elway and Eli and what
Andy Reid is consistently done with quarterbacks, you know, by
getting them to play to the to the best of
(26:48):
their ability right and pick guys. You know, McNabb had
a good career. Obviously, Mahomes is on a Hall of
Fame path. It gets Alex Smith, turns him into a
good player. The other guys along the way you had
good career is like a Kevin Cobb and an aj Feeley.
You know, those guys played the maximum of their ability.
I'm not saying that they were really good players, but
they maxed out right. So so Andy Reid has done
(27:11):
a really good job with quarterbacks historically.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Sean Payton's a great job too.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
He said, here, take up, We're gonna eat ninety million
dollars in all kinds of first round picks to get
out from right.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
That's kind word of.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
A guy who's bad. We don't know if this guy is.
We don't know if Bonex is really actually that good.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Bonex was pretty good, loud going by the one year.
Last year, he's pretty good. That Bruis guy was pretty
good too.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yeah, but can we just pump the brakes on? Like
all of a sudden, He's like, he's got this long
history because more often than not, people are like Al
Davis picking quarterback, and Al Davis is in the Hall
of Fame, right or Hall of very famous, So I
would like to call them Al Davis's history of taking
(27:59):
first round picks quarterbacks in the first round is Mark Wilson,
Todd Marinovitch, JaMarcus Russell.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Boy, all you have to do is go back to
the Jets, like in the last ten years, and you
could have said the same point, are you right you
want to go NFL?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
A story he wanted to show he gets spanned decades.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
I can. I can show you. The acknowledge is let's
take the Bears. Since luckman, Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Stop it. Are you already just loved me? Why are
you coming back for seconds?
Speaker 6 (28:33):
It's eighty eighty years of complete incompetence, including Rick Myer,
who's beyond competent. Okay, like it's just been It's look,
it's really hard to pick good It's really hard to
pick them consistently. You're lucky you pick ones who's really great.
If you happen to get two that are very good.
(28:55):
You know. Again, of course he's the only one who's
ever picked two quarterbacks who want super Bowls, the only
guy in the history of the league whoever did that.
And one of those two he actually never managed, like
Elway was traded before he ever had a chance, and
the team that had Lway on it, So, you know,
thinking about it in that perspective, he went and got
(29:16):
l Wait, he went and got Eli that, you know,
So he identified two great, great quarterbacks. Nobody else in
the history of the game he's ever done that. It's
just brutal. That's all I can.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Great quarterback, I'll play that back to him the Hall
of Fame time.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
No, no, no, okay, I held up his out the bargain.
Wait a second here, Okay, you take any quarterback and
he wins two Super Bowls for you. He's held up
his inner bargain. He's done a great job. Is that
worthy of being in the Hall of Fame? Different, different argument.
I think that he is going to make the Hall
(29:54):
of Fame one day. I just don't think it ain't
going to be this year, especially, and it's going to
be really hard if they continue to have these rules.
The way they have them where it's going to be
hard to get more than like four or five guys
in in any given year. You know. They they made
it really tough to get guys like I'm not sure
where we're going to get another coach in and we
(30:15):
have home Grin Shanahan was in Belicheck waiting. I mean
Tom Coffee, Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is
at Jason Cole sixty two. Thanks as always joining the
round up. Oh had sick, Luckman, said Luckman conversation.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, but he came back to hit me again.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I was already getting attended to my wounds.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
He to circle around the block and came and kicked
me again.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Let's find out what's trending right now in the wide
world of sports from Martin Wise and what do you
got for us?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
What I got right now?
Speaker 8 (30:58):
The kids call it B two A happening down there
in Oklahoma City right now, Oklahoma City leading the series
three games to one and leading this game one hundred
and one to sixty nine nine just under nine minutes
left in the fourth quarter on the Oklahoma City thid
to things, we have three players in double figure shake
Gillis Alexander with thirty four points, chet Holmgren and Jadel
(31:19):
Williams combining for thirty seven. On the Oklahoma City side,
I mean sorry to the Minnesota side of things, Julius
Rendel having a little bit of a bounce back game,
But can you say that when you're down by twenty
one points?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Are thirty one points? I should say?
Speaker 8 (31:31):
And Anthony Edwards has nineteen points on eighteen shots, one
for seven from three. Minnesota looks like they will not
be advancing or bringing this thing back to Minnesota for
a Game six and the NHL Game five. It was
a Hurricane to nothing lead at the end of the
first period. At the end of the second period, it
was Panthers three to two. Now it's tied all up
(31:53):
three apiece just under nine.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Minutes left in the third period.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Florida, of course, leads that series three games to one.
Caroline trying to keep Jason Smith happy and stay alive
there in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Both my teams are down three to one. I don't
know who's got a better shot right now. MUB I
have no idea.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Hey, you just know this, I'm rooting for you. Past
oh thanks man, I'm rooting for.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
You from the heart. Bottom of the ninth inning, the
Blue Jays finally get on the board. This was scoreless
for the longest but two to nothing lead over the
Rangers as Texas tries to win that one in the
bottom of the ninth.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Bottom of the.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Third, and the Yankees lead the Angels one to nothing.
Bottom of the fourth. The Nationals have a five nothing
lead over the Mariners again, one oh three to seventy two,
just under eight minutes left in Game five of the
Western Conference Finals. Game five of the Eastern Conference Finals
much more interesting, three to three, just under eight minutes
left in the third period.
Speaker 1 (32:41):

The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
It's okay to be the bad guy.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I go to the bathroom, I come back. Carolina's losing great.
Great Any other games stayed the same though, Yeah, no,
it's trying to miss anything with Oklahoma City and Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I think someone told the Thunder though, that what the
halftime spread was. Because they're still defending and aggressive on
every possession, the celebrating every Maid shot like it's the first.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Thunder lead Minnesota one oh six seventy four with five
minutes left. This game has been over since midway through
the first quarter, but we will be previewing the Thunder
and the Pacers NBA Finals coming up in a few minutes.
But time now for the Play of the Day. Play
the Day, of course, is brought to you by tire Racks.
For over forty years, ty Rack's been helping customers find
(33:52):
the right tires for how what where they drive ship
fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection, with
convenient installation options like Mobile's Elation, tirerack dot Com the
way tire buying should be. And with that, justin Frostberg,
you have the play of the day for us.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Speaking of first guys, I don't think I ever pulled
a highlight from White Sox TV.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Oh boy, is it just because the White Sox one today.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
They yes, maybe so here's so this is the play
of the day.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
I should be pulling highlights from their broadcast every day
if we're going to get gold like this. Okay, this
is Bennett Tendy's home run call from White Sox TV.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
If you're ready, I'm not ready, but okay, reality TV show.
Oh gosh, well, I mean, I really I used to
watch The Bachelor quite often, but I've kind of gone
away from that.
Speaker 9 (34:44):
Wait a minute, and your pet attending his gone yard
a solo home run here in this eighth inning, as
the White Sox offense continues to pour it on sixth
home run of the season for Ben attending, I'm gonna give.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You mine mineage.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Okay, so obviously not expecting a hit. Hey, we're the
White Sox. We can talk about The Bachelor with whoever.
I don't know who that's a guest is in studio
with that, but I get bringing guests in. Hey, it's
the White Sox. Let's bring some people. Let mean, I
don't I don't know. Maybe he's a reality star. I
don't know, but you could tell clearly White Sox Radio
Network not expecting a hit in that situation. Wait, wait,
we have a hit. We got to talk about the
(35:23):
game for a second. Now, let's get right back to it. Okay,
the Bachelor, let's go.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Yeah, it goes back to Shriffin doing his thing. Well,
I took over for Benetti when he left, and.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
That dude was a double shy of the cycle and
they disrespected him like that.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Don't you have to talk about the game at some
point you're on the White Sox broadcast? Okay, it doesn't.
We don't even need we even say we're at the game.
We could just think we're doing a podcast.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
See that.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
But that's one thing that for all these years being
a long suffering up, two thousand and five is light years,
light years away, is that Rhinestorf always had the ears
on the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
So have you got critical? He was on you and
you were gonna hear about it, and it was gonna
be made publicly known that you got your dressing down
because you know the sanctity of what you're doing. I
mean this is he didn't care there anymore either. How
many at the gate come.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
On, was Aaron doesn't doesn't matter. It's like the Bob
Buker line. I don't think you can say that Harry
doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
No one's listening.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
The guy's like, oh we got wait a minute, this
is like breaking news.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
We had a breaking new program in here.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
You know, we had this whole ten minutes cleared out
to talk about the Bachelor with our guests, and instead, odd,
how I got to talk about that pesky baseball.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
It's in the wayaseball.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
It's like Rodney dangerfield and back to school. You know,
these classes could be a real inconvenience to your college life.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Now I get it, he's hitting just above two hundred
on the ear, but you still job man.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
So that was the tire reck play of the day.
You can't just farm it out to other people. They're
paying you to talk.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
What are you doing bringing in all these other random
voices and getting away from the task at hand.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
No, no, we're.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Gonna we'll revisit that again because that's too much fun
to not.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I got to figure out who the hell he's talking to.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
So, speaking of college, big stories in college football the
last couple of days about the potential expansion of a
college football playoff, like we told you a year ago,
twelve is great. It's going to be sixteen. It looks
like it's getting to sixteen. And you've seen some talk
from the SEC and the Big Ten about expansion and
about about the expansion of sixteen teams, and you know,
(37:41):
sanke for the SEC and the Big Ten that they've
talked about, Hey, we would kind of like any expansion
to guarantee more spots to the SEC and the Big Ten.
We kind of carry college football. We want to see that.
Now today there's been an added story that you know,
Brian Kelly talking about how the SEC needs to play
the Big Ten every we can see games like every year. Right,
So all of this happening as we get ready for
(38:03):
the playoffs. The SEC, the Big Ten, the two biggest
conference in college football. They want more spots guaranteed if
we're going to make the playoffs, going to expand the playoffs.
You know, listen, some things are just very basic and
and that's where I'm gonna go here because I've had
it with the SEC and the Big Ten and there
holier than thou attitude that we're really college football. You know,
(38:25):
you know what, you know what, shut up, I'm done.
I'm done with you guys saying we're really the best
and I don't know why you wouldn't do that, because.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
We're on it.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know what, Then go do what I said you
were going to do a year ago. Go have your
own playoffs. SEC in the Big Ten, form your own
high level of college football, play your own season, have
your own playoffs.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Do it right.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
There's no rules in college football. You can go do it.
There's no one making sure that there's stuff followed for
the health of college football. Now, olllege football is the
wild West. Things change every five seconds. So go do
that because clearly you want to. Clearly that's where you're at.
And I've had it with there. Oh, we're really pushing
college football. You know, things go in cycles. The SEC
didn't have a team playing for the national championship last year. Yes,
(39:06):
they had teams in, but oh, we should have had more.
You know what. No, No, I'm sorry you didn't get it.
You have enough teams in play Morgan, but our conference
is so good. I've had it with them. I've had
it with both of their attitudes and they can both
you know, go do your own thing. Then go do
your own thing.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Well, it's thing.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Greg Sank is the de facto commission commissioner based on
what the SEC has been this last decade plus run
of titles and teams deep into the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
So yeah, it's he's.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Become the voice when you haven't decided as a collective
to find that single figure. Right, You've got people on
the broadcast side and have to deal with the broadcast
rights and rankings or whatever, but you've never said, hey,
we've got a commissioner for everything. No, every conference has
one what are you gonna have money in the bank match?
(39:54):
And the guy that gets up to the ladder and
gets the briefcase, he's the guy that gets to make.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Decisions for the next year. I mean, that's kind of
where we're at with this.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
So for the Big ten and SEC, they're flexing their
muscle and their TV deals and until.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
The rest rise up to challenge them. Flex all you.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Want, exit up about a Fresco exit swollen dumb Jason
Smith my card. Now I've had I've had it with them,
and we've had it with the NBA Western Conference Finals.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome inside, Happy Wednesday, I mean outside of the
great state of Minnesota. Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It's the most anticipated Angels game since The Naked.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Done the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,
and yeah, it is that kind of night tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:50):

Shipped fast and free backed by free Road, has a

Act dot Com is the way tire buying should be.
So here's where we are right now, Game five of
the Western Conference Finals. They Oklahoma City Thunder Minnesota Timberwolves.
(01:16):
If you were to add the spread for live game
betting right now, it would be a tie. However, we
don't do that, so instead it is a sixty seven
to thirty two lead for the Thunder over the Timberwolves.
The Thunder lead by more points than the t Wolves have.
That's where we're at right now, eleven minutes to go
(01:39):
in the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The Timberwolves have three more turnovers than they have made
field goals.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah. Yeah, none of this is good for Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I mean, Anthony Edwards came out aggressively.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
None of this is good.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yes, he missed a lot of shots, and he missed
a lot of shots. And Jaden McDaniels he's seeing three rims.
I usually say shoot for the middle one. I don't
think that's been a good strategy. That's not been a
winning structure. But Edwards at least is going out swinging right.
I think it was ninety nine percent of all bets
this afternoon. We're on him to hit his over of
(02:12):
twenty six and a half points, and he may get there.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's gonna take some work, as he.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Has nine yeah nine at the halftime live live line
was plus thirty one.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You know, it's here's the thing like this game you
can talk about, you know, teams that Quinton come out
and all this. This is one of those games where
you could tell from the jump Minnesota is mentally done right, like,
but the game is on the schedule, so we have
to show up and play, because that's kind of what
it's been. One team has been sharp, smelling that we
(02:44):
can go to the NBA Finals, the other one playing
on the road, not nearly desperate enough, And this is
this is what happened. This is way Sometimes I go, BOYD,
do we really need that fourth game when a team
goes up, Like if a team goes up three to
one and they're going home, like that could be the end.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Of that should be it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You know, if it's three to one going on on
the road, okay, you never know, a team comes back
and they play, then you force a game six, okay,
but three to one, a team going home up three
to one, you could just end the series right there.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, here, here's the funny thing, right is I'm in
the car and I'm driving here to the Fox Sports
radio studios and you know, sitting in traffic on the
four h five and game starts. First possession for the
t Wolves misshot, couple of offensive rebound rebounds, and it
gets back out to Julius Randall, who hits a.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Three point shot. I'm like, all right, here we go,
here we go.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
All right, you got a three point shot, Julius Randall activated.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That was it. That was the That was the high
point of the half.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Now when he finishes three of seven, Uh, he had
four turnovers and he's sitting at a next robust minus
thirty one right now, but ineffective, uh and invisible in
virtually every possession thereafter. Like that was your high point,
because then they got boat raced, and all of a
sudden it was a double digit lead.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Just like that.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You finished the first quarter, are down twenty six to nine,
And I started looking at the baseball slate, Well, the
Dodgers already played. They lost on bullpen implosure. We were
going back and forth on that Sike socks Mets games
over like all these day games.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Oh, screwed Kershaw.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
We'll get to Tanner Scott and his five Scotti at five.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
He's got the fun here, fundy count already they did.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Kershaw went five, and you and I were texting, like,
he went five innings, this is exactly won.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
He was great.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
And then Tanner Scott comes in and yeah, his post
game was great.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
He's like, yeah, State, but I did enough and I
made some bitches and it's unfortunate that it went that way.
Like this is tell us, which you really think, Clayton,
I could read your mind. But that all of that
to say, a lot of the big baseball games were
already off the board for today. So I'm like, all right,
really leaning into this te Wolves uh and Thunder game
that the Timberwolves are gonna go down swinging. Nah nah,
(05:02):
mildcats man. This is like a little cat hanging out
in your park park parking spot, just waiting for you
to come home and then staring you down.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
If the NBA wanted to say, I mean really, if
they said, okay, it's a seven games best of seven.
But if a team is up three games to one
or three games to none and they're going home, like
that's it.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Are you gonna start doing other metrics too? If they've
led this series? No, no, no, the total minutes is
a three to one margin, pify to have that here too.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
If it's a if it's a three, If no, it's
it's got it's got three two If it's three one
or three to zero, and a team is going home,
then okay, but then on the road is different. Three
two is still potentially there for you. But three to
one or three is that, like, no, we're done. We're
not showing up. We're barely getting on the plane. So,
I mean, if the NBA listen, we don't want to
(05:55):
waste anybody's time. We don't need to do this. We
can seah, we we just have a lot of stuff happening.
We just have that.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
You gotta do make goods to the TV partners and
the way, and you got to give the money back.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Nobody's given any money. You can still go to the arena. No, no, well,
what are you gonna do? Play Paul on the Jump.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You go to the arena, right, and it's a party
and you're and and you're giving away you know, you're
giving out the Western Conference Final trophy. You're giving and
you're it's a big party and they play music and
stuff and there's games and maybe there's you know, face
painting or you know crafts.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
In the event that this series is declared over, you
will get a special concert by an A, B or
C list artist, depending on who's available at last minute.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, I mean, you turn it into like, okay, instead
of the game, it's gonna be kind of like a carnival.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And here's a Motley Crue cover band. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, you get a cover bed and you bring out
a dunk tank and stuff. Yeah, I'm all right, we're
going to the finals and I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
We had a party.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But you can't have the players or coaches and the
dunk tank. They might catch cold and all of a
sudden they're at a disadvantage for the next round.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
No'm gon, you don't put the You don't put the
players in. You put like other people in. You put like,
oh hey, let's get the PR department in this. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Really start getting kind of like all the anonymous quote
unquote phone calls that tip people off as to where
C and D list celebrities are going to eat lunch.
So it's the same thing kind of like, uh, you know,
we gotta we gotta get some quasi local celebrities to
go sit in the dun't tank. And you have your opportunity.
You don't like the local weather man, Yeah, and how's
(07:27):
your time to dunk him?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Channel Nut.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Here's Lloyd Lindsay Young coming in here. You can dunk
him everybody. What do you got Frostburg?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
This game's hurting my eyes?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But question for you? Yeah, sure, close your eyes, don't look,
don't look, be like at the end of Freight Raiders
the Lost Dark.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Don't look, Mary, don't look. Don't look at the Covenant.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
What's the only thing that sucks more than the Timberwolves tonight?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
That's a loaded question for this early in the evening.
Do you want me to do you want me to
blow your response? Or do you want me to say?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
You gotta go? What is it?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay? All right, go ahead?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
So I ask you you really knew it? I know
exactly what you're gonna say. I know anything worse than
the Timberwolves tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Well, hang on, hang on, give me piece of paper
so I could write it down.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
How do you not have paper? I always had paper.
Today I figured there'd be a run. Okay, turn your MICU.
I'm gonna tell you what Frostburg's gonna say. Turn your
mic off, turn your mic Okay, Frostburg, I told him
what I said. You're gonna say. Go ahead, ask again?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Do you know what sucks more than the Timberwolves tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
What sucks more than the Timberwolves tonight, the bleeping Lakers,
he's zagged down.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
They lost to this team that's getting drunk by thirty
that's fair point.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That is not what I thought you were gonna.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Including the parade for Edward. I think we were bolting.
We were both guessing the same thing. No, Rmin, what
what did I say? Frostburg was gonna say?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Scott?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, I thought you're gonna say ten Scott. Yeah, oh no,
I'm not wasting my.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Gonna wear it.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
But bleep and ruined day. Yeah, the Lakers think about it.
They got manhandled by this team that's getting blown out
by thirty something.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, it really, it really makes the makes This series
wasn't even close. No, no, not no, not no, not
even there's one game with the Thunder just said we
need we need a break, we need to relax.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Here. Game three, We're just gonna kind of a couple
of nice for the people.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah. Hey, and let me say this right, the other
big thing, right, because obviously this game is over, right,
You're we're gonna talk about the Thunder going to the finals.
We'll preview thunder Pacers tonight. But let me just say
you're not dead yet.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Okay, I mean McAfee's got beef with that New York celebrities.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Uh, let me say this because I really want to
say this. Yeah, because I would be embarrassed. Please NIX,
don't show up like this tomorrow. Give me a big, gutty,
concerted effort to extend the series. You know, because if
you do, the Pacers will put it away and go
home to try to win Game six. You know, the
(09:54):
the the officiating is going to be on your side
because the NBA wants another game. I don't show up
to tomorrow like this, Show up like you want to win,
be gritty, be gutty, give it one more time and
then hey, we see what happens for Game six. But
don't show up like this tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Do we have confirmation of Scott Foster eating a pastrami
sandwich down the street from Madison Square card and.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, I'm like, are you doing again?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I'm just waiting for the call. I know I'm gonna
get it right here, I know.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Just sitting outside the port Authority, I'm are you coming
or going?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
He's like, just waiting on a call.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The beginning.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
The beginning of the movie would be like him, like
out with a really attractive woman on a date and
it's like, hey, they just get back to her place
and then he gets a text and he goes, I'm sorry, baby,
I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But but I thought we lie. I thought we were
gonna have fun.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I like you, and he goes, now, I need to
tell you about who I am, and he takes off
your class. He goes, they call me the extender and
he jumps out the window.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But the entire time like he's you know, as he's
talking it out right, he's getting the page. It's almost
like he's got to go to a life saving surgery.
You must really have you know, you're a hostage negotiators.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Upe, I'm the extender.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I'm the extender.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
You know what out the window? Who the Nicks are?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The last shot is her looking out going, Oh, I
was on a date with the Extender. I'll call you
like it's like how would have like a deadpool vibe
the extender? And when when Adam Silver calls, I gotta go,
that's it. Are you the original Extender? No, Dick Pavetta
was the extender before me. Now I'm the extender and
(11:32):
I will pass this on at some point to someone else.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
He bequeathed me this title. It's like a Bond movie.
Who's the next Extender?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
No Tony Brothers, No, No, No, Dicky Nick Pavetta, Dick Pavex,
that's his nickname, Dick Pavetta to Scott Foster, to Tony's kick.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
There, Sarah is right there like the Green lanterns to
bring it back to the Ryan.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Will this circle be unbroken?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And they put a fights in some of these games, right,
even the last game it Will ended up being a
two point margin, and it was into the final possessions,
but then to absolutely no show here, careless turnover after
careless turnover, bad possessions and shots and look, fast break points.
We lamented your Nicks and their inability to work anything
(12:22):
in transition yesterday in their humbling loss to the Pacers.
It's much the same here. It's basically a no show
in fast breakpoints, Thunder getting back on defense, filling the lanes,
creating those anxious moments, bad passes, the extra pass that
finds its way at somebody's shin, and all of a
(12:44):
sudden we're on the on the ground rugby scrum for
the ball squirts out of bounds and we're going back
the other way. I mean, it's just been a pathetic
effort up and down. But congratulations on a job done.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You get to go back.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Julius Randall just hit a three. It's a twenty seven
point game now, so half time plus thirty one. I'm
feeling pretty good. If I had plus thirty one at half.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
T they had half times plus thirty one. What about
the plus eight and a half?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I start just.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Next to show up win tomorrow night. Give Let let
us all have give everybody another couple of days. You
never know what could happen. Maybe instead of Pop's Halliburton
who got banned, and be Tyre's Halliburton will get banned
for some reason who knows, I don't know. And maybe
they have a chance. That's the only way they have
a chance. But let let let's show up big. Let's
show up big for Game five. It's at home. It'd
(13:36):
probably be the last time we see shallow May Instiller
in all unless you just get the game five and
it's all empty and it's all people like those are
just regular billionaires.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I don't know who they are.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
In those seats. We're all the superstars not come to
not all they quit on the next Okay, I mean
I grant it, I buried them last night. But still, hey,
wait a minute, wait a minute, So this is what
one more game? Show up gritty because they do that,
they show up that they're gritty, they're gutty, they don't quit.
This is a team that doesn't know the meaning of that.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
They're there.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
They're the night mony python that keeps getting arms and
legs chopped off, going come on, gimebye, still got still gotcha?
Show up like that tomorrow night, Show up like that
one more time. That's all. That's all I ask.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Now, what would be comical is if all of those
A list actors are replaced by people that have just
been in mob movies. Just see if you can have
an intimidation factor baseline, the guys that are still left
around from you know, the Sopranos and Goodfellas and you
name it, they're all sitting there court side and doing
the evil eye. Okay, maybe you get Joe Pesci.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I mean I don't know. I mean, you got all
sorts of guys that you did. Did he retire to No? No,
but he did a TV show recently. He did he
did one with.

Two and a half to go in the third quarter.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It is an eighty five fifty seven lead for the
Thunder over Minnesota. It's basically been a thirty point game
since they had the opening tip. So we'll continue to
talk about the Thunder as they make their way to
the NBA Finals, but right now, joining us on the
hotline for big stories in the NFL that surround Caleb
(16:18):
Williams and Terry Bradshaw, longtime NFL insider. You can check
them out on thirty third Team. He is on Twitter
at Jason Cole sixty two. He is a Hall of
very Good voter. It is Jay Cole. What's happening?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Man?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
You know they've narrowed the number of people who can
make the Hall of Fame to a what I would
say is fame famous level. And you continue with this
very good thing. That's annoying.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Well, listen, there are view you let in very good
players every year to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
What's gonna get higher ratings the NBA Finals between ok
See in Indiana or a typical Jets game this year? Oh?
I got it.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well, you say typical Jets game? Like, what is that like?
A game where it's like ten to nine throughout, they
miss a field goal and a triple jinks off.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
The upright, and they're calling for the return of Salah.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah and Rogers.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Yeah no, sure, yeah, yeah. I just that sort of
a typical Jets game, Isn't that? At this point?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I think, I think, I think the Jets get higher ratings.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
I would agree, I would the only thing to higher
rated it could be the Caleb Williams running out for
for the home opener. See what see how much booing
he gets at the home opener.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You know, I'm glad you brought that up, because that's
that's one of the big stories today. Caleb Williams, who,
of course part of the Seth Wickersham article that we
talked about a week ago.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And look, not an article, a book, sorry, in a book.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Talking about all the quarterbacks talk to quarterbacks in high school, college,
the NFL guys who retired, you know, great, great angle
for a book. And we found out that Caleb Williams
and his dad didn't want to go to Chicago, wanted
to go any place else quarter we all.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Which we all knew before last draft, but they were
being honest about it.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, Okay, where quarterbacks go to die was the big
quote attributed to Caleb Williams. Bud he winds up getting
drafted by the Bears anyway, and here he isn't today he.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Said, no, no, no, I love being a Bear.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Jake Cole like, I mean, I know, I know, I know,
but if he doesn't start out like a house.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Of fire, Harmon, Harmon's not good.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Harmon's not great. I mean, but at this point he's
kind of come to realize that this is just how
it's gonna go for my teams. But no, Harmon's not here.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah, but Jay Cole Smith for the last eighteen months
has told me, I'm in the era of good feelings.
Everything's wonderful. You're gonna be talking about super Bowls and
championships and buy all sorts of merch.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
So he set me up to just cut me off
at the knees. Well, no, I didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
No, you did all that I didn't know about this
book was gonna come out that wow, that all that
Caleb Williams and his dad were all over with quotes
attributed to that. Not someone heard someone say it, but
year ago, says, hey, Caleb Williams dead told Seth Rickerson.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
This this season has been submarine faster than the Hunter,
redoff over.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So is it?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Ben Johnson saying, you idiot, you've killed us right before
our Spoilerlert.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yeah, it's pretty much what the season is going. It's
gonna be it's gonna be really great.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
DJ Moore saying, now the world will tremble at the
sound of our rockets.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
No, you idiot, you've killed us.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Sean Connery is a Russian. Was always awesome, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, yeah, you've lost another submarine Admiral.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Okay, that's Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I don't even know who's quarterbacking for the Vikings and
they've got better odds than the Bears to win the North.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
This is so classics J. J.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
McCarthy and the Unknown. But it's the Bears. It's the Bears,
is what they do.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
It's the Bears since Luckman died, since Luckman quit, right,
that's about right. It's about forties, right, eighty years before
you were, before your your dad was maybe born. It
was like this. It's bad, man, it's this is not good.
It's not it's not good because there aren't a lot
(20:43):
of there aren't a lot of people in Chicago who
are necessarily feeling Caleb Williams last year with the painted
nails and the crying and the holding the ball way
too long and all the other things that went with it,
And now he's got to deal with this, Like, yeah,
it's yeh, I'm not sure that he has the mental
(21:08):
toughness to put up with what's going to rain down
on him if unless he is perfect this season, Like
he's got to complete his first two hundred and thirty
five passes before they accept him something like that. You know,
two thirty five or two thirty five, What do you
guya go like six games without throwing it, without throwing
an incompleation somebody, Well, I mean with.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
The past chart they had last year, that would work
really well, Jacob.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It's all within five yards of the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
With all the deep routes that they ran, although he
makes the longer given how far he drifts in the
pocket backwards. Yeah, he does two things that I know
is like it's not only does he just retreat constantly
and try and throw off his back, but he retreats
in what is not a straight line. Have you ever
noticed that? Like, yeah, he drifts to one side of
(21:59):
the other, so that the offensive tackle who's in front
of him generally has no idea where he is, so
he doesn't know which way to block his guy and
totally leads the offensive lineman blind in the in the
process of this.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
So what you're saying is he's retreating better from these
comments than he is when he drops back to pants.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Yes, pretty much, pretty much.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Hey, but Ben Johnson is a wizard.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
That is That is a fantastic interpretation of this situation. Maga.
It's it's almost as it's like this compared to the
cavalier nature of Aaron Rodgers and his approach to playing
football this year. But good, Mike, don't know, I'm not
(22:49):
sure I sling it. Yeah, like that's really gonna work
in Pittsburgh, Yeah, where they they take their football very seriously.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Now, you mentioned Aaron Rodgers, and this brings us to
the Terry Bradshaw comments from yesterday, which are just absolutely hysterical.
He does an interview in which he talks about the
Steelers and what's going on with Rogers ending up in Pittsburgh,
and he says, it's a joke to me, this is
a joke that guy needs to stay in California, go
(23:22):
somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods
out there. So Terry Bradshaw does not want Aaron Rodgers
in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
This is basically the John Elway comments, what is it,
you know, another forty years later or something like that,
forty two years later, Well he can just go play baseball,
play base Yeah, he wants to be in California. A yeah,
don't do that, you know, like, that's my that's our man, Bradshaw.
(23:50):
I would take it seriously, except that this is how
Bradshaw's just made a living for for forty years, just
ripping other people. And in all fairness, Aaron Rodgers. As
much as I like Aaron Rodgers, I love to watch
him play. You know, dude, you got to decide what
you want to do, you really do. You just you
(24:12):
got to decide. You got to commit. I mean, it's
the end of May, this whole thing that you think, oh,
I'll just show up in July and I'll be I'll
be good man, It's going to be all right. But
that just doesn't work. I mean you should have learned that,
you know, last year with the Jets, like you weren't
ready to come back. It wasn't good. You weren't on
(24:34):
the same page or you know, your teammates, you weren't
on the same page much of the time until really,
what was it about week twelve or thirteen that he
started to look like he's on page with guys by
that team or by that time the season was over,
you know, it was truly what he's round up.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But that's the thing that gets me about him is
that as as much of a drama king as he
has been throughout his career, right, he's always you know, Okay, look,
I know what I need to do on the football field.
And I felt like last year and now I'm like,
does he really still want to play? Does he still
have that like I forget about? Oh, Pittsburgh is gonna
get him. He's going to make his make a decision
(25:12):
and we'll see if he's, as you know, can improve
on last year. I just go, how is is he
really going to show up and be this? Is this
mentally not locked in and you're expecting this to work
where you have Aaron Rodgers who just doesn't even feel
like he really wants to play at this point.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
You're completely correct. Your alternative, though, is Madson Rudolph.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Well, look, I'm not saying the Steelers know what the
hell they're doing, because clearly the NFL has passed them by,
which we've talked about plenty of times. But I mean still,
I mean, like I would, I would say, Oh.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
I'm not sure. I'm not sure i'd buy that. Okay,
I did buy that. They have a quarterback problem. Okay,
and I've had one for five years now.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, because they can't even the quarterback. Hey, I inherited
Ben Roethlisberger and things were great for thirteen years. Now
we have to pick some Oh wait, we can't do
that really well, we keep picking the wrong guy.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
Can I ask something who does pick quarterbacks?
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Well?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
In the history of this, like pack and a team
that's that's really good.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
At it, Packers hit thirty times thirty years.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No, man, the Steelers had been really good picking quarterbacks
for a long time.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
The guy, really they only picked two, They picked two guys.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, but when you pick the right guy, it's good.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
You're good for fifteen Cordell was pretty game.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
I understand, I understand, I understand what you're saying. Okay,
I'm not, but like no team has outside of like
earning a Corsi who took Elway and Eli and what
Andy Reid is consistently done with quarterbacks, you know, by
getting them to play to the to the best of
(26:48):
their ability right and pick guys. You know, McNabb had
a good career. Obviously, Mahomes is on a Hall of
Fame path. It gets Alex Smith, turns him into a
good player. The other guys along the way you had
good career is like a Kevin Cobb and an aj Feeley.
You know, those guys played the maximum of their ability.
I'm not saying that they were really good players, but
they maxed out right. So so Andy Reid has done
(27:11):
a really good job with quarterbacks historically.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Sean Payton's a great job too.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
He said, here, take up, We're gonna eat ninety million
dollars in all kinds of first round picks to get
out from right.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
That's kind word of.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
A guy who's bad. We don't know if this guy is.
We don't know if Bonex is really actually that good.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Bonex was pretty good, loud going by the one year.
Last year, he's pretty good. That Bruis guy was pretty
good too.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yeah, but can we just pump the brakes on? Like
all of a sudden, He's like, he's got this long
history because more often than not, people are like Al
Davis picking quarterback, and Al Davis is in the Hall
of Fame, right or Hall of very famous, So I
would like to call them Al Davis's history of taking
(27:59):
first round picks quarterbacks in the first round is Mark Wilson,
Todd Marinovitch, JaMarcus Russell.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Boy, all you have to do is go back to
the Jets, like in the last ten years, and you
could have said the same point, are you right you
want to go NFL?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
A story he wanted to show he gets spanned decades.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
I can. I can show you. The acknowledge is let's
take the Bears. Since luckman, Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Stop it. Are you already just loved me? Why are
you coming back for seconds?
Speaker 6 (28:33):
It's eighty eighty years of complete incompetence, including Rick Myer,
who's beyond competent. Okay, like it's just been It's look,
it's really hard to pick good It's really hard to
pick them consistently. You're lucky you pick ones who's really great.
If you happen to get two that are very good.
(28:55):
You know. Again, of course he's the only one who's
ever picked two quarterbacks who want super Bowls, the only
guy in the history of the league whoever did that.
And one of those two he actually never managed, like
Elway was traded before he ever had a chance, and
the team that had Lway on it, So, you know,
thinking about it in that perspective, he went and got
(29:16):
l Wait, he went and got Eli that, you know,
So he identified two great, great quarterbacks. Nobody else in
the history of the game he's ever done that. It's
just brutal. That's all I can.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Great quarterback, I'll play that back to him the Hall
of Fame time.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
No, no, no, okay, I held up his out the bargain.
Wait a second here, Okay, you take any quarterback and
he wins two Super Bowls for you. He's held up
his inner bargain. He's done a great job. Is that
worthy of being in the Hall of Fame? Different, different argument.
I think that he is going to make the Hall
(29:54):
of Fame one day. I just don't think it ain't
going to be this year, especially, and it's going to
be really hard if they continue to have these rules.
The way they have them where it's going to be
hard to get more than like four or five guys
in in any given year. You know. They they made
it really tough to get guys like I'm not sure
where we're going to get another coach in and we
(30:15):
have home Grin Shanahan was in Belicheck waiting. I mean
Tom Coffee, Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is
at Jason Cole sixty two. Thanks as always joining the
round up. Oh had sick, Luckman, said Luckman conversation.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, but he came back to hit me again.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I was already getting attended to my wounds.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
He to circle around the block and came and kicked
me again.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Let's find out what's trending right now in the wide
world of sports from Martin Wise and what do you
got for us?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
What I got right now?
Speaker 8 (30:58):
The kids call it B two A happening down there
in Oklahoma City right now, Oklahoma City leading the series
three games to one and leading this game one hundred
and one to sixty nine nine just under nine minutes
left in the fourth quarter on the Oklahoma City thid
to things, we have three players in double figure shake
Gillis Alexander with thirty four points, chet Holmgren and Jadel
(31:19):
Williams combining for thirty seven. On the Oklahoma City side,
I mean sorry to the Minnesota side of things, Julius
Rendel having a little bit of a bounce back game,
But can you say that when you're down by twenty
one points?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Are thirty one points? I should say?
Speaker 8 (31:31):
And Anthony Edwards has nineteen points on eighteen shots, one
for seven from three. Minnesota looks like they will not
be advancing or bringing this thing back to Minnesota for
a Game six and the NHL Game five. It was
a Hurricane to nothing lead at the end of the
first period. At the end of the second period, it
was Panthers three to two. Now it's tied all up
(31:53):
three apiece just under nine.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Minutes left in the third period.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Florida, of course, leads that series three games to one.
Caroline trying to keep Jason Smith happy and stay alive
there in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Both my teams are down three to one. I don't
know who's got a better shot right now. MUB I
have no idea.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Hey, you just know this, I'm rooting for you. Past
oh thanks man, I'm rooting for.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
You from the heart. Bottom of the ninth inning, the
Blue Jays finally get on the board. This was scoreless
for the longest but two to nothing lead over the
Rangers as Texas tries to win that one in the
bottom of the ninth.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Bottom of the.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Third, and the Yankees lead the Angels one to nothing.
Bottom of the fourth. The Nationals have a five nothing
lead over the Mariners again, one oh three to seventy two,
just under eight minutes left in Game five of the
Western Conference Finals. Game five of the Eastern Conference Finals
much more interesting, three to three, just under eight minutes
left in the third period.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Back to you, guys, Thanks a bunch Martin, Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Coming
up next, we got the play of the day and
huge drama out of college football. Way do we tell

The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
It's okay to be the bad guy.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I go to the bathroom, I come back. Carolina's losing great.
Great Any other games stayed the same though, Yeah, no,
it's trying to miss anything with Oklahoma City and Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I think someone told the Thunder though, that what the
halftime spread was. Because they're still defending and aggressive on
every possession, the celebrating every Maid shot like it's the first.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Thunder lead Minnesota one oh six seventy four with five
minutes left. This game has been over since midway through
the first quarter, but we will be previewing the Thunder
and the Pacers NBA Finals coming up in a few minutes.
But time now for the Play of the Day. Play
the Day, of course, is brought to you by tire Racks.

convenient installation options like Mobile's Elation, tirerack dot Com the
way tire buying should be. And with that, justin Frostberg,
you have the play of the day for us.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Speaking of first guys, I don't think I ever pulled
a highlight from White Sox TV.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Oh boy, is it just because the White Sox one today.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
They yes, maybe so here's so this is the play
of the day.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
I should be pulling highlights from their broadcast every day
if we're going to get gold like this. Okay, this
is Bennett Tendy's home run call from White Sox TV.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
If you're ready, I'm not ready, but okay, reality TV show.
Oh gosh, well, I mean, I really I used to
watch The Bachelor quite often, but I've kind of gone
away from that.
Speaker 9 (34:44):
Wait a minute, and your pet attending his gone yard
a solo home run here in this eighth inning, as
the White Sox offense continues to pour it on sixth
home run of the season for Ben attending, I'm gonna give.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You mine mineage.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Okay, so obviously not expecting a hit. Hey, we're the
White Sox. We can talk about The Bachelor with whoever.
I don't know who that's a guest is in studio
with that, but I get bringing guests in. Hey, it's
the White Sox. Let's bring some people. Let mean, I
don't I don't know. Maybe he's a reality star. I
don't know, but you could tell clearly White Sox Radio
Network not expecting a hit in that situation. Wait, wait,
we have a hit. We got to talk about the
(35:23):
game for a second. Now, let's get right back to it. Okay,
the Bachelor, let's go.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Yeah, it goes back to Shriffin doing his thing. Well,
I took over for Benetti when he left, and.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
That dude was a double shy of the cycle and
they disrespected him like that.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Don't you have to talk about the game at some
point you're on the White Sox broadcast? Okay, it doesn't.
We don't even need we even say we're at the game.
We could just think we're doing a podcast.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
See that.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
But that's one thing that for all these years being
a long suffering up, two thousand and five is light years,
light years away, is that Rhinestorf always had the ears
on the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
So have you got critical? He was on you and
you were gonna hear about it, and it was gonna
be made publicly known that you got your dressing down
because you know the sanctity of what you're doing. I
mean this is he didn't care there anymore either. How
many at the gate come.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
On, was Aaron doesn't doesn't matter. It's like the Bob
Buker line. I don't think you can say that Harry
doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
No one's listening.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
The guy's like, oh we got wait a minute, this
is like breaking news.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
We had a breaking new program in here.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
You know, we had this whole ten minutes cleared out
to talk about the Bachelor with our guests, and instead, odd,
how I got to talk about that pesky baseball.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
It's in the wayaseball.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
It's like Rodney dangerfield and back to school. You know,
these classes could be a real inconvenience to your college life.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Now I get it, he's hitting just above two hundred
on the ear, but you still job man.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
So that was the tire reck play of the day.
You can't just farm it out to other people. They're
paying you to talk.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
What are you doing bringing in all these other random
voices and getting away from the task at hand.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
No, no, we're.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Gonna we'll revisit that again because that's too much fun
to not.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I got to figure out who the hell he's talking to.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
So, speaking of college, big stories in college football the
last couple of days about the potential expansion of a
college football playoff, like we told you a year ago,
twelve is great. It's going to be sixteen. It looks
like it's getting to sixteen. And you've seen some talk
from the SEC and the Big Ten about expansion and
about about the expansion of sixteen teams, and you know,
(37:41):
sanke for the SEC and the Big Ten that they've
talked about, Hey, we would kind of like any expansion
to guarantee more spots to the SEC and the Big Ten.
We kind of carry college football. We want to see that.
Now today there's been an added story that you know,
Brian Kelly talking about how the SEC needs to play
the Big Ten every we can see games like every year. Right,
So all of this happening as we get ready for
(38:03):
the playoffs. The SEC, the Big Ten, the two biggest
conference in college football. They want more spots guaranteed if
we're going to make the playoffs, going to expand the playoffs.
You know, listen, some things are just very basic and
and that's where I'm gonna go here because I've had
it with the SEC and the Big Ten and there
holier than thou attitude that we're really college football. You know,
(38:25):
you know what, you know what, shut up, I'm done.
I'm done with you guys saying we're really the best
and I don't know why you wouldn't do that, because.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
We're on it.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You know what, Then go do what I said you
were going to do a year ago. Go have your
own playoffs. SEC in the Big Ten, form your own
high level of college football, play your own season, have
your own playoffs.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Do it right.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
There's no rules in college football. You can go do it.
There's no one making sure that there's stuff followed for
the health of college football. Now, olllege football is the
wild West. Things change every five seconds. So go do
that because clearly you want to. Clearly that's where you're at.
And I've had it with there. Oh, we're really pushing
college football. You know, things go in cycles. The SEC
didn't have a team playing for the national championship last year. Yes,
(39:06):
they had teams in, but oh, we should have had more.
You know what. No, No, I'm sorry you didn't get it.
You have enough teams in play Morgan, but our conference
is so good. I've had it with them. I've had
it with both of their attitudes and they can both
you know, go do your own thing. Then go do
your own thing.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Well, it's thing.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Greg Sank is the de facto commission commissioner based on
what the SEC has been this last decade plus run
of titles and teams deep into the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
So yeah, it's he's.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Become the voice when you haven't decided as a collective
to find that single figure. Right, You've got people on
the broadcast side and have to deal with the broadcast
rights and rankings or whatever, but you've never said, hey,
we've got a commissioner for everything. No, every conference has
one what are you gonna have money in the bank match?
(39:54):
And the guy that gets up to the ladder and
gets the briefcase, he's the guy that gets to make.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Decisions for the next year. I mean, that's kind of
where we're at with this.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
So for the Big ten and SEC, they're flexing their
muscle and their TV deals and until.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
The rest rise up to challenge them. Flex all you.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Want, exit up about a Fresco exit swollen dumb Jason
Smith my card. Now I've had I've had it with them,
and we've had it with the NBA Western Conference Finals.
