Benia Day. I hope you celebrated like today. I gotta
tell you there are two days on the calendar. I
get more texts than any other my birthday and today, really,
and it's close.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I mean it's it's close.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
The big difference with this year's July First is it
seems literally everybody in the world of sports is getting
paid exactly. Mobamba just got paid by the Clippers. There
is no end to this man.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Mobamba was on the NIXT list of potential replacements for
Art and Stuft's.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Right Data Center.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
But out till every every year July First, it's like
my own. It's like my second birthday. It's like as
my birthday's l the year, except you know, I get
my six month birthday, like, oh, everybody's wishing me happy
Bobby benn Even even people in my family now that
really have no idea what this is get told about
it and they text me about it.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Bobby Binia getting paid off his contract annually on this date,
and that contract goes back many, many years. But you,
mister Mad's fan, are not actually receiving any renunrations. So
you're getting congratulations of some sort. Yeah, but it's really
it's not your day at all.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I get happy Bobby Benia day. So what I get
today is which is not your name, No, no, no, no,
not my name. So what I get today is Brandon
Nemo of the Mets injuring himself in his hotel room,
slipping and falling. So he's out of the lineup.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Tonight chainting and falling.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And now I get the Mets with a six run
lead in the top of the tenth inning, now trying
to protect a nine to seven lead. They have that
cut that lead from six. Protect a six run lead
in the tenth thinning. No, no, no, we're gonna s
We're gonna sweat this one out, don't.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
The Mets have one of the best closers in the
National League the last few years. Having we seen where's the.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Trumpets, things are a little sticky right now. Okay, we're very,
very difficult for us.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So this is what I get. Now, this is what
I get. July first is always a day, right, July
first is a day. I mean it is. It's a
day for me.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I mean, meanwhile, US Man soccer is playing right now.
And let's just say. I think it was Carly Lloyd
on the halftime show on FS one saying this referee
is at of his elements, and I think.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Taylor, you could tell right away.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Look, they talked to the very beginning of the broadcast,
Rob Stone. I think it was said, hey, and here's
your referee for this game. And he doesn't have a
lot of experience. And you know what, that was absolutely
apparent because he lost control of this game thirty minutes
and we're a halftime right now again in the United
States needs to win to stay alive in the Copa America.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
If they score a goal.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And Panama beats Bolivia won nothing, the United States will
still advance. It depends on gold differential. But they have
to win this game. There's no scenario which they don't
win the game and they don't move on. It's nothing
nothing at halftime. They have not had a lot of
great chances in the first half, but this official has
lost control over the game very early.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Stu Holden said that during the first half in the broadcast,
in fact, there was a guy, a sports media reporter
who tweeted at halftime, what is this referee doing? This
is making me miss Pack twelve revs.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Pack twelve after dark?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I mean, look, in the first ten minutes, you gotta
start giving out cards right when you see the play
being physical, you gotta give out some yellows. And when
he didn't do it, okay, hey guess what, doors open everybody.
Let's just keep going. Now you're seeing the play is
more chippy, it's more physical. Finally giving out a yellow,
but you can tell he has absolutely lost control of
this match. And and and there's guys agetting her. Couple
(04:15):
of guys have had to leave already, Balligans had to
leave the game at the United States player for for
on offense, Yes, for Uruguay had to leave the game
after an injury. It has been that kind of chippiness
of a day.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
So we had three yellow cards total in the first
could have been seven fourteen fouls. Did you notice that
one yellow card he gave to the US and immediately
Uruguay respotted the ball and just continued the play while
the referee had the yellow card.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
In the air, talking about no respect for the referee.
We're just gonna keep playing. But I'm saying, yeah, we're
just we're just gonna keep playing. Okay, we're not listening
to Wow, that's enough. I've seen that in you know,
all all the youth soccer that I've coached. I've seen
so many times where if the ar on the side
is not up to snuff, and you can tell, like
the ar will make a call and and everybody knows
(05:02):
that's not the right call. And we'll just keep playing,
and the center ref will just tell them no, no call,
nough call, like he'll call a ball. No no, no, no,
keep playing, keep playing, keep playing. That's not offside. Okay,
keep playing, Just keep playing. That's kind of what this
is like.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, yeah, whatever, We're.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Just gonna keep Yeah, you're not gonna you're not gonna
bawl the list of what you're worried about.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
We're just gonna keep going.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I don't mean to offend anyone on this, but it's
kind of like third world soccer, which is somewhat appropriate
for Conca calf because if you compare it to some
of the other federations in the world. Let's just say,
we're not bathing ourselves in glory these days. No our
region of the world in either soccer or pass scandals
or you know, Mexico went out quite meekly in this tournament.
(05:41):
The US could be eliminated tonight. And there's not a
lot of depth here, let's be honest. And then you
have the referee.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, well, and look, so you have the United States
needing to score and they have toy have to win
this game, right, there's no they have to win if
they're going to try to advance the hate watching of
the second half of the game, hoping off the hook,
because that's likely what's going to happen if we can't
get out of group and Kopa. Look Greg Berholter, who
(06:08):
many people want to see fire.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
He's not any good. We've seen this already. The team
is not getting better.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
There's a reason they didn't re sign him when his
last contract right out.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, and then brought him back because well, you know,
we couldn't find anybody else.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah, it didn't work.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Really, it's the United States. You couldn't signed. It couldn't
get anybody else.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
I'm available.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I could have coached like I mean, look his strategy
on offense, get the ball to polistic.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I could do that.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I don't know what grade level you've coached in soccer,
but JJ Redditt coached fourth grade. I can go too.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I coached higher level than that. I coached as I
coached X. You got my vote. Oh yeah, you know, no,
I coached at a high level. I don't exactly why
I could vote.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like Gottlieb hosting his show and coaching in wiscons s
Green Bay host the show and coach the men's team.
I coach men's team from here. Hey, get it to Polisic.
But that's all that bur Alter's doing. Okay, let's do
it that way.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You know, in the group, it's the top two out
of the fourteen teams advanced. The bottom two are out.
As of tonight, the US and Panama tied for second
into the group. In the group to start the evening,
each with one win one loss. So they make sure
as these two teams are playing concurrently in separate cities,
they make sure to start the games at exactly the
same time. However, the Panama game is now in the
(07:19):
fifty first minute and the US has yet to begin
the second half, just for the record, so that whole Hey,
let's start at that's same that has ended, that is
long gone, that's by the boards.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, that's where you know you need to.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Let's start the second half at the said because you
know in the first half with injury time, and you
know it's going to be different.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So how about you start speaking.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Of injury time. After all those injuries and stoppages in
the first half of the US game in Kansas City tonight,
we were expecting literally eight to nine minutes of added
time at the end of the forty five it was
five minutes and we're done.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, the Jason Smith Show, Steve Disaga and from Mike
Carbon tonight. Now, at the very least, America's prayers have
been answered, because if you watch this game in the
first half, you saw something that has justin Frossberg just
absolutely opping mad.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Right now, I thought you were.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Interesting if I think the cameras are broken, oh goodness
at Arrowhead and as a man who goes there every
year to do a game, yeah, that stadium sucks literally birds,
that's why the camera angles were like that.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
That's that's probably where the TV and all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Set up at the top the Bold the South American
Soccer Federation that puts on this tournament somehow got a
better camera location a little lower for the second half
of this game for the world feed that Fox has
to use, because at the beginning of the first half,
I thought it was the blimpcam. Honestly, it's the difference
between you. That's where they put us with the blimps.
(08:45):
You remember, for years the Knicks had one of the
lowest camera angles. As you go back to the eighties
and nineties, it was it was like the complete opposite
of that. It's like, how high can you physically walk
up while carrying a camera? In the upper level in Kansas.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
City they put you at level ten. Every other stadium
maxed maybe five. Okay, well they did well there.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
La because level five or six is ground level. They
had to dig into the ground, so you only have
to go up one to.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It was such a fail in the first half because
really I felt like, well, I feel like I'm at
the game, but I'm in the top row of the
stadium and you can't see a lot of what's going on.
You can't see where the ball is gonna end up.
It's hard to see. Is this play a foul?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
All twenty two camera? Except it was soccer.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
At least you know it's gonna be great after the
if they want to diagram plays in the first and
well here's what happened. Yeah, po polistic comes in here,
as you see in this round. That's gonna look great.
But you know, look for everybody who says, hey, listen,
you know you can't, you can't, you can't fight the man. Hey,
everybody complained the camera angles were off on the first half,
and look what happened we got great camera.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
They changed that.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Camera angle from the world feed to now a more
manageable Hey, this is kind of where the camera.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
My hand is now raised. Can we change the coach?
Can we do that at halftime?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Well, I wanted to give the coach to yourk because
they were missing their coach tonight. Coach hasn't been suspended.
I wanted to find a way to give Uruguay our coach.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
The first two games would work for Uruguay. He doesn't
come out in time after halftime, and so the people
putting on the tournament suspended him for tonight's game. So
he's not on the sidelines. Ugu is the first place
team and we'll be finished. Guys, they're playing the US.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Do they really need a coach?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
No, But if we give him our coach, then it'd
be better for us and worse for that.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Again, they don't. They don't need a goal tonight. The
US absolutely must score or they're out tonight.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's like giving Zach Wilson to another team. Your team
immediately gets better, and if he plays, that team is worse.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
But that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
By the way, the Mets did win in ten innings.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yes, we held on.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Today we nine nine to seven. Apparently Timmy Trumpett did
not come in. I haven't seen him. I don't know
what's up with the as in closing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Five more days, five more days. Okay, right, so now, Frostburn,
let me ask you this now.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
So they changed.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Okay, so they changed the They changed the booth. Right,
they changed the booth from a time. They can't do
that for you. They couldn't do that for you.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I just texted you a picture of where they put us. Man,
you tell me, oh my god, it looks like the
same angle. Oh, you can't even kid anything.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
That's where they put you in Kansas City, in Kansas.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
In the first half, somebody tweeted, this camera angle appears
to be on the moon.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
It was, well, no, I don't know. I think it's
the moon's a little closer. Maybe maybe that's no moon.
On our way up in the elevator, we passed the
people on the moonwave. Hey, there goes the charges play
by play. Guys, all right, good luck. I mean, really, Frostburg,
this is where they had it.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Actually insane.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
This actually zoomed.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I mean, I mean, look, it's about as high as
the camera angle in the first half.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I mean really that that's that's where they put you.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
There was a messy game in Kansas City in this
stadium that that Star Suarez, by the way, played in
this stadium, and Apple TV has the MLS contract and
they didn't have the blimp cam in the first half
of that game.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
No, we had the blimp cam. We had the blimp
cam the entire way until he decided, oh, we can
change it now finally, but look, I like that. I
like they listened, Hey, we can't go with this. Actual
people are killing us on social media. We got to
change it.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
The absolute best response to all of this with the
camera angle in the first half of the coverage tonight
was literally the Twitter feed for the Goodyear Blimp wait
in I'm not kidding and said, not sure if we
should be flattered or offended, but to answer all of
you at once, no, we are not covering the US
game tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I think they were probably lower. I'm sure they were
lower than wear the camera.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I know what was lower is that what's the camera
that's on the metal rails that goes that can be
the NFL uses so often that was often in the
shot in the first half because the fixed camera was
so high above it.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You know, I don't even think if you put a
drone that high. I think if you had a drone
that high, it would ice up and fall to the ground.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Like that's how high. Actually, that's them that.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
High we have.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
We have a Leo Otto. That's the camera the game.
Never mind, never mind, Uh go back to where you were.
One fan tweeted, this is ridiculous. Can't see anything this
camera angle. Another said is going to make me throw up.
When I saw I said, okay, well, something's odd. Believe
they're way, something's wrong with their regular camera angle. We're
gonna get a different angle. Nope, nope, we stayed off.
(13:37):
But with about ten or fifteen minutes left in the
first half they changed over. So I'm glad they listened well.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
But as someone pointed out, the fact that we've seen
a soccer game MLS from the stadium and other events
from that same stadium not in such a high camera
angle means that the South American folks putting on the
tournament actually chose to put a camera that high and
make it the main camera to start a game there.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So Frostburg, let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
So, when you're that high in Kansas City, do Money
Smith and Daniel Jeremi DoD they just make up players
that they think have the ball.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Because they can't tell you. When I'm high in kidd,
I normally just eat barbecue.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Did I think do they make up players that have
the ball. It looks like it looks like.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
The story I told this guy. This story was last
week when I was at the Agel game. Bob Costas
told this once when he was starting and broadcasting. He
was doing w h A hockey, and he didn't.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Have the right time.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You rememberized one guy's name. Everywhere the play was a name.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
So he just decided before face looked at the roster. Okay,
Franz wa wa Met is about to have the game
of his life because anytime he didn't know who it was.
Bucks in the corner, can't see, don't know. Franz Woisa cats.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
It every time we go there, Lt with the carry
and Merriman with the time.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
You know, Rob Reagan, here's a drop, there's a drop.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I'm sure it was Quentin Johnson. I don't know for sure,
but I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yeah, I thought you'd been like a drop to play
on the show, like an air drop. But yeah, if
it's a literal drop, it probably was Quentin Schotzon last year. No.
Ronald Reagan, you remember, was a baseball announcer back in
the days when they used to recreate the road games.
They would not spend money to send the baseball announcer
on the road. He would call the game from the
studio and just follow the teletype. One game, he was
(15:25):
calling the road game from the studio and the teletype
breaks down. It's just middle ofn at bat stops sending
what the next pitch was or what happened, and so
he's live on the air.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
He just keeps having the.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Guy Feul pitches off because the teletype's not work. He
starts describing the foul balls. He starts describing the kids
who are catching the non existent foul balls. Finally the
teletype comes back up and it was just a ground
out to second. He was able to continue the broadcast.
But somebody a week later caught Reagan on the street
(16:00):
and said, hey, I listen to your broadcast. Have you
ever seen that many foul balls in a ball game?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It was a forty seven pitch at that It was
absolutely insane. Uh So here we are, right now again,
United States Uruguay underway in the second half, fifty third minutes,
still scoreless.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
United States needs to win.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Hope Panama's game stays and Panama is winning in the
sixtieth minute.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
But one nothing is okay.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
One nothing is all right because we need the gold
differential and it works. No, but Panama will get a
w right, But we would. But if we but that's why,
if we win, we would have this score.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Oh that's all we have to score. That's a huge
have to score. Yes, we have score a goal. Yes,
I just skipped across that. I just assume you, like,
are not expecting to see the United States.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I'm high like Frostburg in Kansas City right now, Come on, man,
barbecue on you.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Coming up next, we dive into the wild first twenty
four hours of NBA free agency. The best move one
player left a team. It was a great move by
that team to let him go. New team picked him up,
sign him to a big contract. It was a great
move for that team. Wait, how can that be? We'll
tell you next right here, Jason Smith, Steve the Sanger,
(17:05):
and from Mike Harmon, this is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (17:08):

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Come on ty shirt USMNT is not winning. We don't
need this negative energy. We don't need this negative energy song.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Or is it positive?
Speaker 7 (17:58):
No? Remember what is the song's mantra? Everybody wants to
rule the world. You know we should be saying we
want to rule the world. Everybody wants USA to score
at least one goal.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Okay, that's not happening. Those are the alternate lyrics of
the song. Okay, all right, very good.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Are you right? You're ready? I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Welcome two men's soccer.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Go Jason.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I can't see the field because the cameras to see
you at the third bar.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Not sure what is going.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
The next big goal Poliitic scores will be the first.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Okay, hold on.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I can't your copper halter on the sideline.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Every US game looks like a beer league.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
You know, that's the best way that I can really
explain the US m n T as talented as they are,
you know, we're as talented. Poliitic's been the best player
United States has had in over a dozen years. To
make it, to really boil it down right, and there's
still zero zero within is good?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Was young group that came out together.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
They look like they look like when I see them play,
they look like a team, And I go, how much
they practiced? Could they not have practiced this week? Did
like some players not be able to make it? You know, Hey,
I got to recital at my daughter's school. I'm actually
out of town this week. All right, no practice on Tuesday,
you know, just show up. Game is Friday, be there
an hour and a half before.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
That's kind of what they have actually been in a
game and heard that before cal State Fullington dropped its
football program. I was at a game and in all seriousness,
someone behind me turned to his buddy next to and says,
do they even practice? He was absolutely serious. And there
are times when you see this, the lack of direction.
(19:42):
It's not just the lack of results, the lack of
direction why we, as we pointed out on one of
the shows last week, bring it back to the head coach.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
And a big development just happening. The United States again
tied with Uruguay. Bolivia has tied their game with Panama
at one apiece, opening the door a little bit for
United States success.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Bolivia with a goal. I believe it's their.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
First goal in seventy six years and international competition. This
is the biggest win for Bolivia since they got butchered
Sun Dance back in sixty.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Bolivia is ranked eighty fourth in the world.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Most Bolivia games, they just jump off a cliff.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
So yeah, so now things may be looking a little
bit brighter for the United States.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
A little bit will tie.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
They both finished with one win, one loss, one tie
with Panama, the US would have the gold differential.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
How about that Burhalter survived again.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
No, this is bad.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Come on still a ways again the hate watching is
off the hook. I don't know what I'm rooting for.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Bolivia.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Panama won one in the sixty ninth minute, United States
Uruguay zero zero in the sixty fourth minute. Will have
more on this, Steve will have more and what's trending
coming up in a few minutes. Because there was only
really one baseball game tonight, the Mets one. That's all
you need to know.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
They are showing the US fans in the crowd at
Kansas City telling their buddies looking at their phones, what
Blivia score. They just showed coach Burlter on the sideline
saying to a player on the field.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
One one.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
It's one one might have just scored. We'll see if
it stands after video review. But they're celebrating.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, looks like it could be one nothing Uruguay again
just right where things look great?
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Right hey?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
For about ten scored there was tay. I'll tell you man,
we rode the fast lane for about ten seconds there.
We really had the fast lane for about ten seconds
and we.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Definitely suck again.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
That's really good coaching. Make sure to tell your guys. Hey, one,
what look here?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
One?
Speaker 7 (21:43):
What?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Oh wait?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Go oh wait wait the ball just went by free kick? Yeah,
it's off the free kick. They're looking to see for offside.
I don't know, boy, it's close. It's close. I don't
know that it's going to be overturned.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
It's a line of ten to twelve players, including the defense.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Boy Matt Turner makes the save, but it's not strong enough.
Bolivia Uruguay puts in the rebound again. They're looking at
it to see I from outside, but yeah, I don't
know that you're going to be able to I don't know.
I don't know that you can push this back.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Okay, so everything we just said forty seconds, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It's yeah, yeah, but now the United States needs a
goal right now. Now we need a goal. Now, now
we need to We went from we need a goal,
now we don't need a goal. Oh, now we need
a goal right now.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
We need to go.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
So it's what I'll tell you. That's going to be
really close. And you know with var Look, the thing
about soccer with replay compared to other sports is there's
no gray area. It's either you're off side of your
not there's no well that's what you're off side of
your not I thought about.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
The baseball review until that home run that apparently was
even though it went on the left side of the
left field all over the weekend, and the announcer said, what, huh,
well were the Royals Cave is something that we were
not looking at. So at the moment it's one nothing
on the score, or it's sixty seven minutes in, but
the referee has his index finger to his ear and
(23:05):
is listening to the video referee.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
It could be anything.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
You never know, he could just add a couple of
red cards. There's no enjoyment at this point. I mean
you could I could see right right before the ball
is touched, right before the ball is headed, where they
could call offside on.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
The free kick. Note, but maybe on the header in
front of the US goalie maybe so I.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Could see, I could see where that happens a little bit,
and potentially you could wind up getting dis loud. But again,
they're looking at it. Var and I said, look, the
United States. Things look great for five seconds and then
we're all the way back to where we are.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
No.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
No, I'm feeling more confident than I felt now that
we're looking at the offside on the header in front
of the goalie.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
But when when the last time the United States has
gotten a call where you feel like that could go
either way.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
It looks like I said, yeah, we don't.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Get those calls Stevo, who had var as the MVP tonight.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I haven't made the call yet, you're not We're not
quite sure.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
You know, there's still fifteen minutes left in the other
game in Orlando. Bolivia could give up a goal here.
This is entirely within the realm of possibilities.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Somehow Bolivia wins and we give up enough goals and
still lose.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Because of the goal differential. Ultimately, like Bolivia wins, fire
hit on the tarmac, do the lane kissen?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Bolivia wins like two to one, but we lose three
nothing and we go differential switches.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, we love, we love. Oh to lose two nothing.
It didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
This goal checks going on three or four minutes now, Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
So it's going to be a goal. The goal is
going to stand. You just saw the push. Wow, you know, look,
you could have called it. But Burhalter is looking right now, going, man,
I'm gonna be a coach for twenty more minutes. So
Uruguay off a set piece, scores to make it one
nothing again sixty eighth minute of the game. Right now,
the United States needs a goal. If they tie and
(24:50):
the result holds with Bolivian Panama, we move on. If not,
well we're looking for.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
The big But is we've got to actually score a goal?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yes, yes, yeah, we don't score a goal out tonight
and hopefully the coach is out yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Again in the morning.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Here's your recaut from beginning of the day, need a
goal five seconds where he didn't need a goal.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Now we need to go with it all right.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So a goal, don't need a goal, need to go
lead to go lead a goal. It's not that confusing actually,
so we'll have more on this coming up in a
few minutes. But obviously look big stuff today the last
couple of days with NBA free agency. And it's really
difficult in free agency to say when a new player,
when a player leaves his old team and he signs
the new team, where you can say, hey, great call
(25:31):
by the old team to let him go, great call
by the new team to bring him in.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Right, Usually it's one or the other.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I didn't think you would feel this great about Hartenstein leaving.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Hey, I wanted to keep him, but we can't keep everybody, man,
you know, we can't.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Now you find out it's fun. Teams go through this occasionally.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
You know. Just just wait when when Mitchell Robinson is
hurt and we're playing five guards at once, that's gonna
be the offense. But this is the case with Klay
Thompson all right, who signed a three year agreed to
a three year, fifty million dollar contract. He's joining the
Dallas Mavericks. The first two things were kind of weird
about this. I thought it would take time because Clay
Thompson kind of has that Dwayne Wade. Hey, I need
(26:09):
to be viewed as one of the biggest stars in
NBA history. I need to be respected. So I thought
he would go on this long tour and talk to
a bunch of teams before he signed. So I'm surprised
he signed so fast, and I'm surprised that it's three
years and fifty million. Like he didn't he didn't even
get what Hartenstein got, right, Hartenstein got more money than
Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
But okay, hart Winstein got three years eighty seven million
was the report.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Three years and fifty for Clay shows you, hey, this
is where the market was because he's not someone He's
someone that means a lot more to his new team
than he is to his old team. Because I'm if
I'm the Warriors and there's no baggage with the new
team yet, no, no, if look, if I'm the Warriors,
you had to let him go. Yeah, I've said it
from the beginning, and you got to get rid of
draymondto you got to move away from this era because
(26:53):
you're not winning. And would a new invention of players
around Steph Curry work. I don't know if it'll work,
but I know that Steph and Clay and Draymond are
not working anymore. It's not getting better, they're not winning
more games, They're not getting closer to a title. It's
not working. And when Clay is not the player he
was and Draymond is not the player he was, you
(27:13):
need something new and you need to go and say,
all right, Steph is still an All NBA type player,
first second team All Team All NBA player. Let's try
something new around him that can work for us. So
I love the move, I love Golden State. They gotta
go someplace new with how they're gonna build this team.
But for the Mavericks, boy, I'll tell you what, did
they need a guy like Clay this year in the finals?
(27:34):
Did they need a guy to say, Hey, you know
how many rings I got, give me the ball, I'll
make big shots. He's now suddenly gonna be the third
option on the team. That's exactly what he needs. Someone
who he can pick his spots, whether he agrees to
come off the bench or not. What I mean, it's
gonna be a different thing for Clay. But he's someone
that they need him more in Dallas than they needed
(27:55):
him in Golden State. His leadership, his abillity hit threes.
He doesn't have to worry about being a volume shooter
anymore and being someone that, hey, we're relying on you
to be a twenty five point a game guy, because
that's not who he is. But with his leadership and
what he can still do shooting threes, because look at
what happened to Dallas in the finals. What was the
biggest thing you can point to? How many threes did
they miss? They were a good three point shooting team
(28:16):
in the regular season. They had the third most threes
made per game, and they were awful, and the Celtics
won because everybody on the Celtics can shoot threes. They
all made their threes. Dallas didn't. This fills a huge
hole for the Mavericks.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
And don't forget the half court shots. Dallas really needed
a guy to hit half court shots.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Well, Hertenstein, it's why, you know, it's why Oklahoma City
got by the way Panama has scored.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
So it's two to one Panama late in the game
and the Americans are losing. So I know we've still
got what twenty minutes left in the US game, but yeah,
that might.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Now we need two goals. Yeah, right night, Now wey
two goals.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
As much as Klay Thompson has been talked down, and
I understand part of the reason is because we didn't
see him play at all for a couple of seasons
in recent years. But he's still twenty points a game
for his career, and it a decade plus career with
Golden State, and he was still eighteen points a game
last year. And even though the three point percentage was
down a bit, he still can shoot a lot of
(29:08):
threes if that's required, and he can still make three
pointers at a fine percentage. It's the overall shooting that
has come down. And yes he's getting older, but to
not act like this isn't a good addition. It's ridiculous,
especially when it's a team built on two guys, and
my goodness, we wound up kind of half lucky with
that whole Lively draft pick and the trade to get him.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Look, it's I love the teams that understand we have
to get risky, right, we want to win. We got
to get bold, right. Dallas is getting bold. The Sixers
are bold. We know the Knicks are bold. They traded
eleven first round picks to get mcal Bridges. You're seeing
to the Oklahoma City Thunder or bold. You're seeing these
teams that know. I think the Clippers a little bit below.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Clippers gave up more first rounders than the Paul George thinking.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, yeah, trying to figure out who won the Paul
George trade. Man that that the thirty for thirty. All right,
let's go back and look.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
And say it with a Bobby Benia thing to finish
about the same time, you could come to a conclusion.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Dude, I get eleven more years of Bobby Bania. Man
is it that long led twenty thirty five, twenty thirty
five I.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Got from So you'll be getting texts probably there won't
even beat. They'll have some of their technology to say
congrats on Bobby Benia Day to you. By the time
this thing ends in over it.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
No, he'll be a hologram in front of me. He'll
be doing the show with me as a hologram. By
the time he'll be good, he'll appear.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
And he'll say congrats to you.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I always say my like when my retirement will be
the day after the last Bobby Benia Day, like Bobby
Day July first, twenty thirty five. I'll retire the next
like that. I'll do one more show and that's it,
and I'll retire the day after like July second.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
That's interesting, Like that'll be when I watch.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
So you're tying your career to somebody you never actually.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Paid the end of the end of Vibe, but it
would be at propos. Hey, guy went out right at
the It's all good, honestly, I'll tell you, man, last
Bobby Day.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
It works anyway. Need to emphasize Clay TOMPs it was
eighteen point game.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yes, look, Clay is still a good player, He's just
not a number two guy on a championship team and
he's got to understand that. And I know there was
I'm sure some bitterness because I'm sure he wanted the
Warriors to come over the top with a with an
offer that was going to force him to stay, and
that wasn't the case.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Didn't he say no to the big money that he
could have opted into.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
So yeah, I mean, look, look, it's a good move
for both. The Warriors had to move on, and he's
a great get for the.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Mavericks and better for him to move on, frankly pastic.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
So that's where we sit right now. It is a big,
crazy roller coaster of a Monday night, and right now
Steve Desager has all the latest with what's trending in
the wide world of sports.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
They just announced the attendancy Kansas City, where it's warm
and humid, for the US soccer game in Copa America.
Fifty five thousand on hand, maybe to watch the US
get booted out of this tournament. Their trailing first place
Uruguay won nothing through seventy six minutes. Now, meanwhile, Panama
has retaken the lead to one over Bolivia. They are
eighty two minutes into their game in Orlando. For the
(32:03):
moment in the standings, the US and Panama are tied
for second in the group, each with one win and
one loss. But again Panama playing the easier the last
place team tonight and winning its game, so at the
moment Panama clearly would be the second place team at
advancing after tonight. The key is the US. Of course,
loss had to had two Panama last Thursday on a
(32:24):
goal in the eighty third minute at that game in Atlanta.
Fifty nine thousand were on hand for that game. Brazil's
group finale is tomorrow night against Tuino Columbia on FS one.
At the Euros in the Round of sixteen, France eliminated
Belgium one nothing on an own goal in the eighty
fifth minute. Portugal beat Slovenia on penalty kicks, scoreless through overtime.
(32:45):
Just three MLB games tonight, and the Milwaukee Brewers have
come back to tie it up. At Colorado, the game
is six to six in the top of the eighth.
The Mets held on for a ten inning win nine
to seven. At Washington, JD Martinez three run homer in
aix run on top of the tenth. Houston won its
game at Toronto three to one each team, which is
four hits. Vladimir Guerrero Junior of the Blue Jays did
(33:07):
not play due to a sore hand he was hit
by a pitch. Yesterday. The Boston Celtics agreed to a
five year extension with Jason Tatum. Derek White got a
four year extension from Boston Celtics ownership plans to put
the team up for sale. Philadelphia gave Tyrese Maxi a
five year deal. Tobias Harris agreed to a two year
contract with Detroit. Dallas acquired Klay Thompson from Golden State
(33:30):
in a sign and trade. The Warriors got de Anthony Melton.
Oklahoma City picked up center Isaiah Hartenstein on a three
year contract. The thunder re signed Aaron Wiggins to a
five year deal, and Oka re signed Isaiah Joe In
the WNBA, there are two games tonight, including Connecticut with
a record of fourteen to four, winning again late first
(33:51):
half thirty seven thirty at Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve O The Jason Smith Show.
Steve desagerin from Mike Harmon tonight. We'll have moren what's
going on in the Copa Erica coming up? But straight ahead,
a huge, bold prediction I made about the NBA. Looks
like it's going to be a lead pipe cinch going
to happen after the big news that broke earlier today.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (34:14):
We'll tell you next right here, Jason Smith, Steve de
sagerin for Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
This is Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Steve
de Sagarin for Harmon. Tonight, the United States about ten
minutes away from being knocked out of the Cope America.
Most certainly they trail Uruguay won nothing. They need two
goals and they're having a tough time even make it
three Adam shots. Santama just scored a Panama just scored again.
(34:46):
So we did three goals in the next ten minutes.
That's all we need. That's all we need. Look, we'll
have more of this coming up in about twelve minutes
or so, because look, it's going to be a really
big deal and the future of United States soccer is
now in the back.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
And keep in mind the context. We are co hosting
the World Cup in two years.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but look there's look when they hire
me to be the coach, I will have two years
to instill my culture with the.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Team and it will be fine. I'm absolutely fun. Your culture,
my culture?
Speaker 4 (35:15):
What is that instead of a water hydration break, it's
a big back break during the half?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
See, you want to be my assistant coach? There you go, right,
there you go. You're in, Steve, You're in.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
You're gonna have Grimace play full back.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
What does coach Steve do showing up? He always got
big Max.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Okay, this is great, and so come on, come on,
I put Grimace in goal. He's so big you not
yet block everything wearing gloves. I don't know if he
can actually catch anything. Come on, Steve think, come on,
you think a little bit. So again, we'll have more
on this game coming up in a few minutes. Again,
I think he can catch gout. But that yeah, drink
(35:51):
a lot of grape juice to get rid of the game.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
You know, in every exhibition you play in March shamrock shakes.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Oh they okay, I like that. I dig that. I
dig it.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
But look, we've seen a lot in NBA free agency
today and coming up in a few minutes, we'll get
into some of the other big moves. We talked about
the big acquisition of Klay Thompson. Ten to fifteen moves,
so manly, great moves, the biggest when you talk about money,
Jason Tatum, on the day the Celtics said yeah, we
want to sell the team, he agrees to a three
(36:22):
hundred and fourteen million dollar extension with the Celtics. He
has now the highest paid player.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
In NBA history, assuming the player option is picked up.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Yes, yes, he is not again highest paid player in
NBA history.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
But I'm glad you connected those two that it's on
the day that Celtic's ownership group says, hey, we're going
to put up the team for sale, including pretty early
maybe this year, the majority stake in the team and
the rest as we go by.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
They say, like in the next year plus, they expect
it to close.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
And eventually all their shares are gone. Yes exactly. They're
not all sticking around with forty percent or no, nothing
like that. So the connection between the two is these
guys say publicly we're on the way out. And now
they have two three hundred million dollar players on the team.
What do they care?
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Yeah, they're on the right. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, okay, but you realize that the price of the team,
we can't spend as much for it because you just
give a guy through tea the.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Word apron now and the collection of argent agreement.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
That is the most popular word now in all of apron. Apron.
We're you knows.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
They're gonna hit the third apron in Boston and these
owners won't be around for it. So who cares.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
It's gonna be like me when I'm making grilled cheese, apron,
all kinds of aprons on. I don't want to get burned.
But the last year of Jason Tatum's contract is set
to pay him seventy one million dollars.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Okay, is that more than a towny. That's a little
bit more. It's a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
He's gonna defer all that money until you know he's
eighty years old, and then they're gonna pay. No, he's
getting paid, so again, seventy one million for the last
year of his contract. A couple of years ago, I said,
the way it's exploding. By the year twenty thirty, we're
gonna have one hundred million dollar a year player in
the NFL and the NBA. In the NFL, it's gonna
(38:07):
be a quarterback because obviously that those are the guys
get paid the most money. But now here we are
in twenty twenty four, okay, twenty twenty four, and already
in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Now we have a.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Guy making seventy one million dollars a year. So you
think of the next six years, we're not gonna get
up to one hundred million dollars a year first star
of course.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
There is in other words, over a million dollars per game.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yes, that's exactly how it's gonna go. We are on pace.
Today was a huge day for that for my big
bold prediction because at seventygren he's not gonna see it
for a few years. But right now, in twenty twenty four,
they have signed a guy to give him seventy one
million dollars in one year. We are gonna see one
hundred million dollar a year player in the NBA and
the NFL by twenty thirty.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
I'm tempted to say we're all ready to the point
where we need a separate salary cap for quarterbacks in
the NFL. First off, because the position, by the nature
of the sport so much as we have seen many
times over the years, a team that loses its quarterback,
it's just not the same team on the field. The
position itself, regardless of the individual on that team, is
(39:12):
enormously valuable. And if you find somebody, I mean when
the US is playing in Arrowhead Stadium tonight, if you
find a quarterback, look what you can do with said quarterback.
If he's your guy, you can You know, we thought
they overpaid for mahomes. Now people, people have lapped that contract.
There needs to be a separate somehow, a separate salary
cap to keep the quarterback still paid, still valuable, but
(39:36):
separate from the other x number of guys on the ross.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
You want to know something crazy, I remember saying this
on the show not too long ago, that eventually we're
going to get to a point we need a separate
salary cap for the quarterback. It's got to be some
kind of percentage of the salary cap because the salary
is going through the roof and it's it's too much
to try to compete. And I'm saying, when did I
say that? And I look on Twitter, right when when
(39:59):
the the story came out last round this that the
when the story came out last week that the owners
were talking about this idea. I said, I'm saying this
a couple of years ago, and I thought it was
a couple of years ago. So I go on Twitter
and I go, how about a Fresca quarterback salary cap?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
I said that in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Twenty seventeen, I said, eventually, this is in this back
of quarterbacks only making thirty million dollars a year. I
said in twenties, guy, I gotta have a separate salary
cap for quarterbacks. Seven years later, hey, I think we
did a separate salary cap for quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
We should rename the show. I don't know if you've
said that before.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Also, I should have been running the league. I mean,
that's me. Forget about that. Hey, I would have taken
care of this besky quarterback thing seven years ago. But
now look where we are again. One hundred million dollars
a year player NBA and NFL by twenty thirty, Tatum
at seventy one million. It's happening, and you know it's
gonna be the Knicks who give that guy one hundred
million dollars.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
And it's gonna be Harstun.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Coming up next, we will have the end of the
United States men's national team in the Cope America and
more on the biggest moves an NBA free agency.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
A star studded show continues here on Fox.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
Jason have good news.
Speaker 3 (41:05):

First, y, let me wish you a very happy Bobby
Benia Day. I hope you celebrated like today. I gotta
tell you there are two days on the calendar. I
get more texts than any other my birthday and today, really,
and it's close.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I mean it's it's close.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
The big difference with this year's July First is it
seems literally everybody in the world of sports is getting
paid exactly. Mobamba just got paid by the Clippers. There
is no end to this man.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Mobamba was on the NIXT list of potential replacements for
Art and Stuft's.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Right Data Center.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
But out till every every year July First, it's like
my own. It's like my second birthday. It's like as
my birthday's l the year, except you know, I get
my six month birthday, like, oh, everybody's wishing me happy
Bobby benn Even even people in my family now that
really have no idea what this is get told about
it and they text me about it.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Bobby Binia getting paid off his contract annually on this date,
and that contract goes back many, many years. But you,
mister Mad's fan, are not actually receiving any renunrations. So
you're getting congratulations of some sort. Yeah, but it's really
it's not your day at all.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I get happy Bobby Benia day. So what I get
today is which is not your name, No, no, no, no,
not my name. So what I get today is Brandon
Nemo of the Mets injuring himself in his hotel room,
slipping and falling. So he's out of the lineup.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Tonight chainting and falling.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And now I get the Mets with a six run
lead in the top of the tenth inning, now trying
to protect a nine to seven lead. They have that
cut that lead from six. Protect a six run lead
in the tenth thinning. No, no, no, we're gonna s
We're gonna sweat this one out, don't.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
The Mets have one of the best closers in the
National League the last few years. Having we seen where's the.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Trumpets, things are a little sticky right now. Okay, we're very,
very difficult for us.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So this is what I get. Now, this is what
I get. July first is always a day, right, July
first is a day. I mean it is. It's a
day for me.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I mean, meanwhile, US Man soccer is playing right now.
And let's just say. I think it was Carly Lloyd
on the halftime show on FS one saying this referee
is at of his elements, and I think.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Taylor, you could tell right away.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Look, they talked to the very beginning of the broadcast,
Rob Stone. I think it was said, hey, and here's
your referee for this game. And he doesn't have a
lot of experience. And you know what, that was absolutely
apparent because he lost control of this game thirty minutes
and we're a halftime right now again in the United
States needs to win to stay alive in the Copa America.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
If they score a goal.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And Panama beats Bolivia won nothing, the United States will
still advance. It depends on gold differential. But they have
to win this game. There's no scenario which they don't
win the game and they don't move on. It's nothing
nothing at halftime. They have not had a lot of
great chances in the first half, but this official has
lost control over the game very early.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Stu Holden said that during the first half in the broadcast,
in fact, there was a guy, a sports media reporter
who tweeted at halftime, what is this referee doing? This
is making me miss Pack twelve revs.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Pack twelve after dark?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I mean, look, in the first ten minutes, you gotta
start giving out cards right when you see the play
being physical, you gotta give out some yellows. And when
he didn't do it, okay, hey guess what, doors open everybody.
Let's just keep going. Now you're seeing the play is
more chippy, it's more physical. Finally giving out a yellow,
but you can tell he has absolutely lost control of
this match. And and and there's guys agetting her. Couple
(04:15):
of guys have had to leave already, Balligans had to
leave the game at the United States player for for
on offense, Yes, for Uruguay had to leave the game
after an injury. It has been that kind of chippiness
of a day.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
So we had three yellow cards total in the first
could have been seven fourteen fouls. Did you notice that
one yellow card he gave to the US and immediately
Uruguay respotted the ball and just continued the play while
the referee had the yellow card.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
In the air, talking about no respect for the referee.
We're just gonna keep playing. But I'm saying, yeah, we're
just we're just gonna keep playing. Okay, we're not listening
to Wow, that's enough. I've seen that in you know,
all all the youth soccer that I've coached. I've seen
so many times where if the ar on the side
is not up to snuff, and you can tell, like
the ar will make a call and and everybody knows
(05:02):
that's not the right call. And we'll just keep playing,
and the center ref will just tell them no, no call,
nough call, like he'll call a ball. No no, no, no,
keep playing, keep playing, keep playing. That's not offside. Okay,
keep playing, Just keep playing. That's kind of what this
is like.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, yeah, whatever, We're.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Just gonna keep Yeah, you're not gonna you're not gonna
bawl the list of what you're worried about.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
We're just gonna keep going.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I don't mean to offend anyone on this, but it's
kind of like third world soccer, which is somewhat appropriate
for Conca calf because if you compare it to some
of the other federations in the world. Let's just say,
we're not bathing ourselves in glory these days. No our
region of the world in either soccer or pass scandals
or you know, Mexico went out quite meekly in this tournament.
(05:41):
The US could be eliminated tonight. And there's not a
lot of depth here, let's be honest. And then you
have the referee.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, well, and look, so you have the United States
needing to score and they have toy have to win
this game, right, there's no they have to win if
they're going to try to advance the hate watching of
the second half of the game, hoping off the hook,
because that's likely what's going to happen if we can't
get out of group and Kopa. Look Greg Berholter, who
(06:08):
many people want to see fire.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
He's not any good. We've seen this already. The team
is not getting better.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
There's a reason they didn't re sign him when his
last contract right out.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, and then brought him back because well, you know,
we couldn't find anybody else.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah, it didn't work.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Really, it's the United States. You couldn't signed. It couldn't
get anybody else.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
I'm available.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I could have coached like I mean, look his strategy
on offense, get the ball to polistic.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I could do that.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I don't know what grade level you've coached in soccer,
but JJ Redditt coached fourth grade. I can go too.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I coached higher level than that. I coached as I
coached X. You got my vote. Oh yeah, you know, no,
I coached at a high level. I don't exactly why
I could vote.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like Gottlieb hosting his show and coaching in wiscons s
Green Bay host the show and coach the men's team.
I coach men's team from here. Hey, get it to Polisic.
But that's all that bur Alter's doing. Okay, let's do
it that way.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You know, in the group, it's the top two out
of the fourteen teams advanced. The bottom two are out.
As of tonight, the US and Panama tied for second
into the group. In the group to start the evening,
each with one win one loss. So they make sure
as these two teams are playing concurrently in separate cities,
they make sure to start the games at exactly the
same time. However, the Panama game is now in the
(07:19):
fifty first minute and the US has yet to begin
the second half, just for the record, so that whole Hey,
let's start at that's same that has ended, that is
long gone, that's by the boards.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, that's where you know you need to.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Let's start the second half at the said because you
know in the first half with injury time, and you
know it's going to be different.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So how about you start speaking.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Of injury time. After all those injuries and stoppages in
the first half of the US game in Kansas City tonight,
we were expecting literally eight to nine minutes of added
time at the end of the forty five it was
five minutes and we're done.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, the Jason Smith Show, Steve Disaga and from Mike
Carbon tonight. Now, at the very least, America's prayers have
been answered, because if you watch this game in the
first half, you saw something that has justin Frossberg just
absolutely opping mad.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Right now, I thought you were.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Interesting if I think the cameras are broken, oh goodness
at Arrowhead and as a man who goes there every
year to do a game, yeah, that stadium sucks literally birds,
that's why the camera angles were like that.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
That's that's probably where the TV and all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Set up at the top the Bold the South American
Soccer Federation that puts on this tournament somehow got a
better camera location a little lower for the second half
of this game for the world feed that Fox has
to use, because at the beginning of the first half,
I thought it was the blimpcam. Honestly, it's the difference
between you. That's where they put us with the blimps.
(08:45):
You remember, for years the Knicks had one of the
lowest camera angles. As you go back to the eighties
and nineties, it was it was like the complete opposite
of that. It's like, how high can you physically walk
up while carrying a camera? In the upper level in Kansas.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
City they put you at level ten. Every other stadium
maxed maybe five. Okay, well they did well there.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
La because level five or six is ground level. They
had to dig into the ground, so you only have
to go up one to.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It was such a fail in the first half because
really I felt like, well, I feel like I'm at
the game, but I'm in the top row of the
stadium and you can't see a lot of what's going on.
You can't see where the ball is gonna end up.
It's hard to see. Is this play a foul?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
All twenty two camera? Except it was soccer.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
At least you know it's gonna be great after the
if they want to diagram plays in the first and
well here's what happened. Yeah, po polistic comes in here,
as you see in this round. That's gonna look great.
But you know, look for everybody who says, hey, listen,
you know you can't, you can't, you can't fight the man. Hey,
everybody complained the camera angles were off on the first half,
and look what happened we got great camera.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
They changed that.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Camera angle from the world feed to now a more
manageable Hey, this is kind of where the camera.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
My hand is now raised. Can we change the coach?
Can we do that at halftime?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Well, I wanted to give the coach to yourk because
they were missing their coach tonight. Coach hasn't been suspended.
I wanted to find a way to give Uruguay our coach.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
The first two games would work for Uruguay. He doesn't
come out in time after halftime, and so the people
putting on the tournament suspended him for tonight's game. So
he's not on the sidelines. Ugu is the first place
team and we'll be finished. Guys, they're playing the US.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Do they really need a coach?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
No, But if we give him our coach, then it'd
be better for us and worse for that.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Again, they don't. They don't need a goal tonight. The
US absolutely must score or they're out tonight.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's like giving Zach Wilson to another team. Your team
immediately gets better, and if he plays, that team is worse.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
But that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
By the way, the Mets did win in ten innings.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yes, we held on.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Today we nine nine to seven. Apparently Timmy Trumpett did
not come in. I haven't seen him. I don't know
what's up with the as in closing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Five more days, five more days. Okay, right, so now, Frostburn,
let me ask you this now.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
So they changed.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Okay, so they changed the They changed the booth. Right,
they changed the booth from a time. They can't do
that for you. They couldn't do that for you.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I just texted you a picture of where they put us. Man,
you tell me, oh my god, it looks like the
same angle. Oh, you can't even kid anything.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
That's where they put you in Kansas City, in Kansas.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
In the first half, somebody tweeted, this camera angle appears
to be on the moon.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
It was, well, no, I don't know. I think it's
the moon's a little closer. Maybe maybe that's no moon.
On our way up in the elevator, we passed the
people on the moonwave. Hey, there goes the charges play
by play. Guys, all right, good luck. I mean, really, Frostburg,
this is where they had it.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Actually insane.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
This actually zoomed.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I mean, I mean, look, it's about as high as
the camera angle in the first half.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I mean really that that's that's where they put you.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
There was a messy game in Kansas City in this
stadium that that Star Suarez, by the way, played in
this stadium, and Apple TV has the MLS contract and
they didn't have the blimp cam in the first half
of that game.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
No, we had the blimp cam. We had the blimp
cam the entire way until he decided, oh, we can
change it now finally, but look, I like that. I
like they listened, Hey, we can't go with this. Actual
people are killing us on social media. We got to
change it.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
The absolute best response to all of this with the
camera angle in the first half of the coverage tonight
was literally the Twitter feed for the Goodyear Blimp wait
in I'm not kidding and said, not sure if we
should be flattered or offended, but to answer all of
you at once, no, we are not covering the US
game tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I think they were probably lower. I'm sure they were
lower than wear the camera.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I know what was lower is that what's the camera
that's on the metal rails that goes that can be
the NFL uses so often that was often in the
shot in the first half because the fixed camera was
so high above it.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You know, I don't even think if you put a
drone that high. I think if you had a drone
that high, it would ice up and fall to the ground.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Like that's how high. Actually, that's them that.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
High we have.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
We have a Leo Otto. That's the camera the game.
Never mind, never mind, Uh go back to where you were.
One fan tweeted, this is ridiculous. Can't see anything this
camera angle. Another said is going to make me throw up.
When I saw I said, okay, well, something's odd. Believe
they're way, something's wrong with their regular camera angle. We're
gonna get a different angle. Nope, nope, we stayed off.
(13:37):
But with about ten or fifteen minutes left in the
first half they changed over. So I'm glad they listened well.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
But as someone pointed out, the fact that we've seen
a soccer game MLS from the stadium and other events
from that same stadium not in such a high camera
angle means that the South American folks putting on the
tournament actually chose to put a camera that high and
make it the main camera to start a game there.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So Frostburg, let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
So, when you're that high in Kansas City, do Money
Smith and Daniel Jeremi DoD they just make up players
that they think have the ball.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Because they can't tell you. When I'm high in kidd,
I normally just eat barbecue.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Did I think do they make up players that have
the ball. It looks like it looks like.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
The story I told this guy. This story was last
week when I was at the Agel game. Bob Costas
told this once when he was starting and broadcasting. He
was doing w h A hockey, and he didn't.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Have the right time.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You rememberized one guy's name. Everywhere the play was a name.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
So he just decided before face looked at the roster. Okay,
Franz wa wa Met is about to have the game
of his life because anytime he didn't know who it was.
Bucks in the corner, can't see, don't know. Franz Woisa cats.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
It every time we go there, Lt with the carry
and Merriman with the time.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
You know, Rob Reagan, here's a drop, there's a drop.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I'm sure it was Quentin Johnson. I don't know for sure,
but I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yeah, I thought you'd been like a drop to play
on the show, like an air drop. But yeah, if
it's a literal drop, it probably was Quentin Schotzon last year. No.
Ronald Reagan, you remember, was a baseball announcer back in
the days when they used to recreate the road games.
They would not spend money to send the baseball announcer
on the road. He would call the game from the
studio and just follow the teletype. One game, he was
(15:25):
calling the road game from the studio and the teletype
breaks down. It's just middle ofn at bat stops sending
what the next pitch was or what happened, and so
he's live on the air.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
He just keeps having the.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Guy Feul pitches off because the teletype's not work. He
starts describing the foul balls. He starts describing the kids
who are catching the non existent foul balls. Finally the
teletype comes back up and it was just a ground
out to second. He was able to continue the broadcast.
But somebody a week later caught Reagan on the street
(16:00):
and said, hey, I listen to your broadcast. Have you
ever seen that many foul balls in a ball game?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It was a forty seven pitch at that It was
absolutely insane. Uh So here we are, right now again,
United States Uruguay underway in the second half, fifty third minutes,
still scoreless.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
United States needs to win.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Hope Panama's game stays and Panama is winning in the
sixtieth minute.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
But one nothing is okay.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
One nothing is all right because we need the gold
differential and it works. No, but Panama will get a
w right, But we would. But if we but that's why,
if we win, we would have this score.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Oh that's all we have to score. That's a huge
have to score. Yes, we have score a goal. Yes,
I just skipped across that. I just assume you, like,
are not expecting to see the United States.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I'm high like Frostburg in Kansas City right now, Come on, man,
barbecue on you.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Coming up next, we dive into the wild first twenty
four hours of NBA free agency. The best move one
player left a team. It was a great move by
that team to let him go. New team picked him up,
sign him to a big contract. It was a great
move for that team. Wait, how can that be? We'll
tell you next right here, Jason Smith, Steve the Sanger,
(17:05):
and from Mike Harmon, this is Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Come on ty shirt USMNT is not winning. We don't
need this negative energy. We don't need this negative energy song.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Or is it positive?
Speaker 7 (17:58):
No? Remember what is the song's mantra? Everybody wants to
rule the world. You know we should be saying we
want to rule the world. Everybody wants USA to score
at least one goal.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Okay, that's not happening. Those are the alternate lyrics of
the song. Okay, all right, very good.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Are you right? You're ready? I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Welcome two men's soccer.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Go Jason.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I can't see the field because the cameras to see
you at the third bar.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Not sure what is going.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
The next big goal Poliitic scores will be the first.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Okay, hold on.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I can't your copper halter on the sideline.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Every US game looks like a beer league.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
You know, that's the best way that I can really
explain the US m n T as talented as they are,
you know, we're as talented. Poliitic's been the best player
United States has had in over a dozen years. To
make it, to really boil it down right, and there's
still zero zero within is good?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Was young group that came out together.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
They look like they look like when I see them play,
they look like a team, And I go, how much
they practiced? Could they not have practiced this week? Did
like some players not be able to make it? You know, Hey,
I got to recital at my daughter's school. I'm actually
out of town this week. All right, no practice on Tuesday,
you know, just show up. Game is Friday, be there
an hour and a half before.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
That's kind of what they have actually been in a
game and heard that before cal State Fullington dropped its
football program. I was at a game and in all seriousness,
someone behind me turned to his buddy next to and says,
do they even practice? He was absolutely serious. And there
are times when you see this, the lack of direction.
(19:42):
It's not just the lack of results, the lack of
direction why we, as we pointed out on one of
the shows last week, bring it back to the head coach.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
And a big development just happening. The United States again
tied with Uruguay. Bolivia has tied their game with Panama
at one apiece, opening the door a little bit for
United States success.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Bolivia with a goal. I believe it's their.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
First goal in seventy six years and international competition. This
is the biggest win for Bolivia since they got butchered
Sun Dance back in sixty.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Bolivia is ranked eighty fourth in the world.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Most Bolivia games, they just jump off a cliff.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
So yeah, so now things may be looking a little
bit brighter for the United States.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
A little bit will tie.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
They both finished with one win, one loss, one tie
with Panama, the US would have the gold differential.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
How about that Burhalter survived again.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
No, this is bad.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Come on still a ways again the hate watching is
off the hook. I don't know what I'm rooting for.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Bolivia.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Panama won one in the sixty ninth minute, United States
Uruguay zero zero in the sixty fourth minute. Will have
more on this, Steve will have more and what's trending
coming up in a few minutes. Because there was only
really one baseball game tonight, the Mets one. That's all
you need to know.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
They are showing the US fans in the crowd at
Kansas City telling their buddies looking at their phones, what
Blivia score. They just showed coach Burlter on the sideline
saying to a player on the field.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
One one.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
It's one one might have just scored. We'll see if
it stands after video review. But they're celebrating.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, looks like it could be one nothing Uruguay again
just right where things look great?
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Right hey?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
For about ten scored there was tay. I'll tell you man,
we rode the fast lane for about ten seconds there.
We really had the fast lane for about ten seconds
and we.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Definitely suck again.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
That's really good coaching. Make sure to tell your guys. Hey, one,
what look here?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
One?
Speaker 7 (21:43):
What?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Oh wait?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Go oh wait wait the ball just went by free kick? Yeah,
it's off the free kick. They're looking to see for offside.
I don't know, boy, it's close. It's close. I don't
know that it's going to be overturned.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
It's a line of ten to twelve players, including the defense.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Boy Matt Turner makes the save, but it's not strong enough.
Bolivia Uruguay puts in the rebound again. They're looking at
it to see I from outside, but yeah, I don't
know that you're going to be able to I don't know.
I don't know that you can push this back.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Okay, so everything we just said forty seconds, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It's yeah, yeah, but now the United States needs a
goal right now. Now we need a goal. Now, now
we need to We went from we need a goal,
now we don't need a goal. Oh, now we need
a goal right now.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
We need to go.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
So it's what I'll tell you. That's going to be
really close. And you know with var Look, the thing
about soccer with replay compared to other sports is there's
no gray area. It's either you're off side of your
not there's no well that's what you're off side of
your not I thought about.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
The baseball review until that home run that apparently was
even though it went on the left side of the
left field all over the weekend, and the announcer said, what, huh,
well were the Royals Cave is something that we were
not looking at. So at the moment it's one nothing
on the score, or it's sixty seven minutes in, but
the referee has his index finger to his ear and
(23:05):
is listening to the video referee.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
It could be anything.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
You never know, he could just add a couple of
red cards. There's no enjoyment at this point. I mean
you could I could see right right before the ball
is touched, right before the ball is headed, where they
could call offside on.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
The free kick. Note, but maybe on the header in
front of the US goalie maybe so I.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Could see, I could see where that happens a little bit,
and potentially you could wind up getting dis loud. But again,
they're looking at it. Var and I said, look, the
United States. Things look great for five seconds and then
we're all the way back to where we are.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
No.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
No, I'm feeling more confident than I felt now that
we're looking at the offside on the header in front
of the goalie.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
But when when the last time the United States has
gotten a call where you feel like that could go
either way.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
It looks like I said, yeah, we don't.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Get those calls Stevo, who had var as the MVP tonight.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I haven't made the call yet, you're not We're not
quite sure.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
You know, there's still fifteen minutes left in the other
game in Orlando. Bolivia could give up a goal here.
This is entirely within the realm of possibilities.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Somehow Bolivia wins and we give up enough goals and
still lose.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Because of the goal differential. Ultimately, like Bolivia wins, fire
hit on the tarmac, do the lane kissen?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Bolivia wins like two to one, but we lose three
nothing and we go differential switches.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, we love, we love. Oh to lose two nothing.
It didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
This goal checks going on three or four minutes now, Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
So it's going to be a goal. The goal is
going to stand. You just saw the push. Wow, you know, look,
you could have called it. But Burhalter is looking right now, going, man,
I'm gonna be a coach for twenty more minutes. So
Uruguay off a set piece, scores to make it one
nothing again sixty eighth minute of the game. Right now,
the United States needs a goal. If they tie and
(24:50):
the result holds with Bolivian Panama, we move on. If not,
well we're looking for.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
The big But is we've got to actually score a goal?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yes, yes, yeah, we don't score a goal out tonight
and hopefully the coach is out yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Again in the morning.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Here's your recaut from beginning of the day, need a
goal five seconds where he didn't need a goal.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Now we need to go with it all right.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So a goal, don't need a goal, need to go
lead to go lead a goal. It's not that confusing actually,
so we'll have more on this coming up in a
few minutes. But obviously look big stuff today the last
couple of days with NBA free agency. And it's really
difficult in free agency to say when a new player,
when a player leaves his old team and he signs
the new team, where you can say, hey, great call
(25:31):
by the old team to let him go, great call
by the new team to bring him in.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Right, Usually it's one or the other.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I didn't think you would feel this great about Hartenstein leaving.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Hey, I wanted to keep him, but we can't keep everybody, man,
you know, we can't.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Now you find out it's fun. Teams go through this occasionally.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
You know. Just just wait when when Mitchell Robinson is
hurt and we're playing five guards at once, that's gonna
be the offense. But this is the case with Klay
Thompson all right, who signed a three year agreed to
a three year, fifty million dollar contract. He's joining the
Dallas Mavericks. The first two things were kind of weird
about this. I thought it would take time because Clay
Thompson kind of has that Dwayne Wade. Hey, I need
(26:09):
to be viewed as one of the biggest stars in
NBA history. I need to be respected. So I thought
he would go on this long tour and talk to
a bunch of teams before he signed. So I'm surprised
he signed so fast, and I'm surprised that it's three
years and fifty million. Like he didn't he didn't even
get what Hartenstein got, right, Hartenstein got more money than
Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
But okay, hart Winstein got three years eighty seven million
was the report.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Three years and fifty for Clay shows you, hey, this
is where the market was because he's not someone He's
someone that means a lot more to his new team
than he is to his old team. Because I'm if
I'm the Warriors and there's no baggage with the new
team yet, no, no, if look, if I'm the Warriors,
you had to let him go. Yeah, I've said it
from the beginning, and you got to get rid of
draymondto you got to move away from this era because
(26:53):
you're not winning. And would a new invention of players
around Steph Curry work. I don't know if it'll work,
but I know that Steph and Clay and Draymond are
not working anymore. It's not getting better, they're not winning
more games, They're not getting closer to a title. It's
not working. And when Clay is not the player he
was and Draymond is not the player he was, you
(27:13):
need something new and you need to go and say,
all right, Steph is still an All NBA type player,
first second team All Team All NBA player. Let's try
something new around him that can work for us. So
I love the move, I love Golden State. They gotta
go someplace new with how they're gonna build this team.
But for the Mavericks, boy, I'll tell you what, did
they need a guy like Clay this year in the finals?
(27:34):
Did they need a guy to say, Hey, you know
how many rings I got, give me the ball, I'll
make big shots. He's now suddenly gonna be the third
option on the team. That's exactly what he needs. Someone
who he can pick his spots, whether he agrees to
come off the bench or not. What I mean, it's
gonna be a different thing for Clay. But he's someone
that they need him more in Dallas than they needed
(27:55):
him in Golden State. His leadership, his abillity hit threes.
He doesn't have to worry about being a volume shooter
anymore and being someone that, hey, we're relying on you
to be a twenty five point a game guy, because
that's not who he is. But with his leadership and
what he can still do shooting threes, because look at
what happened to Dallas in the finals. What was the
biggest thing you can point to? How many threes did
they miss? They were a good three point shooting team
(28:16):
in the regular season. They had the third most threes
made per game, and they were awful, and the Celtics
won because everybody on the Celtics can shoot threes. They
all made their threes. Dallas didn't. This fills a huge
hole for the Mavericks.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
And don't forget the half court shots. Dallas really needed
a guy to hit half court shots.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Well, Hertenstein, it's why, you know, it's why Oklahoma City
got by the way Panama has scored.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
So it's two to one Panama late in the game
and the Americans are losing. So I know we've still
got what twenty minutes left in the US game, but yeah,
that might.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Now we need two goals. Yeah, right night, Now wey
two goals.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
As much as Klay Thompson has been talked down, and
I understand part of the reason is because we didn't
see him play at all for a couple of seasons
in recent years. But he's still twenty points a game
for his career, and it a decade plus career with
Golden State, and he was still eighteen points a game
last year. And even though the three point percentage was
down a bit, he still can shoot a lot of
(29:08):
threes if that's required, and he can still make three
pointers at a fine percentage. It's the overall shooting that
has come down. And yes he's getting older, but to
not act like this isn't a good addition. It's ridiculous,
especially when it's a team built on two guys, and
my goodness, we wound up kind of half lucky with
that whole Lively draft pick and the trade to get him.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Look, it's I love the teams that understand we have
to get risky, right, we want to win. We got
to get bold, right. Dallas is getting bold. The Sixers
are bold. We know the Knicks are bold. They traded
eleven first round picks to get mcal Bridges. You're seeing
to the Oklahoma City Thunder or bold. You're seeing these
teams that know. I think the Clippers a little bit below.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Clippers gave up more first rounders than the Paul George thinking.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, yeah, trying to figure out who won the Paul
George trade. Man that that the thirty for thirty. All right,
let's go back and look.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
And say it with a Bobby Benia thing to finish
about the same time, you could come to a conclusion.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Dude, I get eleven more years of Bobby Bania. Man
is it that long led twenty thirty five, twenty thirty
five I.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Got from So you'll be getting texts probably there won't
even beat. They'll have some of their technology to say
congrats on Bobby Benia Day to you. By the time
this thing ends in over it.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
No, he'll be a hologram in front of me. He'll
be doing the show with me as a hologram. By
the time he'll be good, he'll appear.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
And he'll say congrats to you.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I always say my like when my retirement will be
the day after the last Bobby Benia Day, like Bobby
Day July first, twenty thirty five. I'll retire the next
like that. I'll do one more show and that's it,
and I'll retire the day after like July second.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
That's interesting, Like that'll be when I watch.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
So you're tying your career to somebody you never actually.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Paid the end of the end of Vibe, but it
would be at propos. Hey, guy went out right at
the It's all good, honestly, I'll tell you, man, last
Bobby Day.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
It works anyway. Need to emphasize Clay TOMPs it was
eighteen point game.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yes, look, Clay is still a good player, He's just
not a number two guy on a championship team and
he's got to understand that. And I know there was
I'm sure some bitterness because I'm sure he wanted the
Warriors to come over the top with a with an
offer that was going to force him to stay, and
that wasn't the case.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Didn't he say no to the big money that he
could have opted into.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
So yeah, I mean, look, look, it's a good move
for both. The Warriors had to move on, and he's
a great get for the.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Mavericks and better for him to move on, frankly pastic.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
So that's where we sit right now. It is a big,
crazy roller coaster of a Monday night, and right now
Steve Desager has all the latest with what's trending in
the wide world of sports.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
They just announced the attendancy Kansas City, where it's warm
and humid, for the US soccer game in Copa America.
Fifty five thousand on hand, maybe to watch the US
get booted out of this tournament. Their trailing first place
Uruguay won nothing through seventy six minutes. Now, meanwhile, Panama
has retaken the lead to one over Bolivia. They are
eighty two minutes into their game in Orlando. For the
(32:03):
moment in the standings, the US and Panama are tied
for second in the group, each with one win and
one loss. But again Panama playing the easier the last
place team tonight and winning its game, so at the
moment Panama clearly would be the second place team at
advancing after tonight. The key is the US. Of course,
loss had to had two Panama last Thursday on a
(32:24):
goal in the eighty third minute at that game in Atlanta.
Fifty nine thousand were on hand for that game. Brazil's
group finale is tomorrow night against Tuino Columbia on FS one.
At the Euros in the Round of sixteen, France eliminated
Belgium one nothing on an own goal in the eighty
fifth minute. Portugal beat Slovenia on penalty kicks, scoreless through overtime.
(32:45):
Just three MLB games tonight, and the Milwaukee Brewers have
come back to tie it up. At Colorado, the game
is six to six in the top of the eighth.
The Mets held on for a ten inning win nine
to seven. At Washington, JD Martinez three run homer in
aix run on top of the tenth. Houston won its
game at Toronto three to one each team, which is
four hits. Vladimir Guerrero Junior of the Blue Jays did
(33:07):
not play due to a sore hand he was hit
by a pitch. Yesterday. The Boston Celtics agreed to a
five year extension with Jason Tatum. Derek White got a
four year extension from Boston Celtics ownership plans to put
the team up for sale. Philadelphia gave Tyrese Maxi a
five year deal. Tobias Harris agreed to a two year
contract with Detroit. Dallas acquired Klay Thompson from Golden State

five year deal, and Oka re signed Isaiah Joe In
the WNBA, there are two games tonight, including Connecticut with
a record of fourteen to four, winning again late first
(33:51):
half thirty seven thirty at Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve O The Jason Smith Show.
Steve desagerin from Mike Harmon tonight. We'll have moren what's
going on in the Copa Erica coming up? But straight ahead,
a huge, bold prediction I made about the NBA. Looks
like it's going to be a lead pipe cinch going
to happen after the big news that broke earlier today.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (34:14):
We'll tell you next right here, Jason Smith, Steve de
sagerin for Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
This is Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Steve
de Sagarin for Harmon. Tonight, the United States about ten
minutes away from being knocked out of the Cope America.
Most certainly they trail Uruguay won nothing. They need two
goals and they're having a tough time even make it
three Adam shots. Santama just scored a Panama just scored again.
(34:46):
So we did three goals in the next ten minutes.
That's all we need. That's all we need. Look, we'll
have more of this coming up in about twelve minutes
or so, because look, it's going to be a really
big deal and the future of United States soccer is
now in the back.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
And keep in mind the context. We are co hosting
the World Cup in two years.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but look there's look when they hire
me to be the coach, I will have two years
to instill my culture with the.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Team and it will be fine. I'm absolutely fun. Your culture,
my culture?
Speaker 4 (35:15):
What is that instead of a water hydration break, it's
a big back break during the half?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
See, you want to be my assistant coach? There you go, right,
there you go. You're in, Steve, You're in.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
You're gonna have Grimace play full back.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
What does coach Steve do showing up? He always got
big Max.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Okay, this is great, and so come on, come on,
I put Grimace in goal. He's so big you not
yet block everything wearing gloves. I don't know if he
can actually catch anything. Come on, Steve think, come on,
you think a little bit. So again, we'll have more
on this game coming up in a few minutes. Again,
I think he can catch gout. But that yeah, drink
(35:51):
a lot of grape juice to get rid of the game.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
You know, in every exhibition you play in March shamrock shakes.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Oh they okay, I like that. I dig that. I
dig it.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
But look, we've seen a lot in NBA free agency
today and coming up in a few minutes, we'll get
into some of the other big moves. We talked about
the big acquisition of Klay Thompson. Ten to fifteen moves,
so manly, great moves, the biggest when you talk about money,
Jason Tatum, on the day the Celtics said yeah, we
want to sell the team, he agrees to a three
(36:22):
hundred and fourteen million dollar extension with the Celtics. He
has now the highest paid player.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
In NBA history, assuming the player option is picked up.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Yes, yes, he is not again highest paid player in
NBA history.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
But I'm glad you connected those two that it's on
the day that Celtic's ownership group says, hey, we're going
to put up the team for sale, including pretty early
maybe this year, the majority stake in the team and
the rest as we go by.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
They say, like in the next year plus, they expect
it to close.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
And eventually all their shares are gone. Yes exactly. They're
not all sticking around with forty percent or no, nothing
like that. So the connection between the two is these
guys say publicly we're on the way out. And now
they have two three hundred million dollar players on the team.
What do they care?
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Yeah, they're on the right. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, okay, but you realize that the price of the team,
we can't spend as much for it because you just
give a guy through tea the.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Word apron now and the collection of argent agreement.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
That is the most popular word now in all of apron. Apron.
We're you knows.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
They're gonna hit the third apron in Boston and these
owners won't be around for it. So who cares.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
It's gonna be like me when I'm making grilled cheese, apron,
all kinds of aprons on. I don't want to get burned.
But the last year of Jason Tatum's contract is set
to pay him seventy one million dollars.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Okay, is that more than a towny. That's a little
bit more. It's a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
He's gonna defer all that money until you know he's
eighty years old, and then they're gonna pay. No, he's
getting paid, so again, seventy one million for the last
year of his contract. A couple of years ago, I said,
the way it's exploding. By the year twenty thirty, we're
gonna have one hundred million dollar a year player in
the NFL and the NBA. In the NFL, it's gonna
(38:07):
be a quarterback because obviously that those are the guys
get paid the most money. But now here we are
in twenty twenty four, okay, twenty twenty four, and already
in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Now we have a.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Guy making seventy one million dollars a year. So you
think of the next six years, we're not gonna get
up to one hundred million dollars a year first star
of course.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
There is in other words, over a million dollars per game.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yes, that's exactly how it's gonna go. We are on pace.
Today was a huge day for that for my big
bold prediction because at seventygren he's not gonna see it
for a few years. But right now, in twenty twenty four,
they have signed a guy to give him seventy one
million dollars in one year. We are gonna see one
hundred million dollar a year player in the NBA and
the NFL by twenty thirty.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
I'm tempted to say we're all ready to the point
where we need a separate salary cap for quarterbacks in
the NFL. First off, because the position, by the nature
of the sport so much as we have seen many
times over the years, a team that loses its quarterback,
it's just not the same team on the field. The
position itself, regardless of the individual on that team, is
(39:12):
enormously valuable. And if you find somebody, I mean when
the US is playing in Arrowhead Stadium tonight, if you
find a quarterback, look what you can do with said quarterback.
If he's your guy, you can You know, we thought
they overpaid for mahomes. Now people, people have lapped that contract.
There needs to be a separate somehow, a separate salary
cap to keep the quarterback still paid, still valuable, but
(39:36):
separate from the other x number of guys on the ross.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
You want to know something crazy, I remember saying this
on the show not too long ago, that eventually we're
going to get to a point we need a separate
salary cap for the quarterback. It's got to be some
kind of percentage of the salary cap because the salary
is going through the roof and it's it's too much
to try to compete. And I'm saying, when did I
say that? And I look on Twitter, right when when
(39:59):
the the story came out last round this that the
when the story came out last week that the owners
were talking about this idea. I said, I'm saying this
a couple of years ago, and I thought it was
a couple of years ago. So I go on Twitter
and I go, how about a Fresca quarterback salary cap?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
I said that in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Twenty seventeen, I said, eventually, this is in this back
of quarterbacks only making thirty million dollars a year. I
said in twenties, guy, I gotta have a separate salary
cap for quarterbacks. Seven years later, hey, I think we
did a separate salary cap for quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
We should rename the show. I don't know if you've
said that before.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Also, I should have been running the league. I mean,
that's me. Forget about that. Hey, I would have taken
care of this besky quarterback thing seven years ago. But
now look where we are again. One hundred million dollars
a year player NBA and NFL by twenty thirty, Tatum
at seventy one million. It's happening, and you know it's
gonna be the Knicks who give that guy one hundred
million dollars.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
And it's gonna be Harstun.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Coming up next, we will have the end of the
United States men's national team in the Cope America and
more on the biggest moves an NBA free agency.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
A star studded show continues here on Fox.
