Listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome inside, Happy Tuesday, The Jason Smith Show with
my base.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Friend Mike Harmon, Well Dress Cobo.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
He is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Well, the Hall of Fame call today, Mike Harmon, and
I gotta tell you the first thing I did when
I found out that Ichiro Suzuki e yourro cc Sabathia,
Billy Wagner, Metsio get into the Hall of Fame. And
the big topic right away, obviously, is Eachiro is one
vote away from being unanimous. Which who didn't vote for
(01:16):
each Heiro. I mean, come on. First thing I did
was I texted Rob Parker. I said, dude, you.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Voted for each Hero, right? He texted me back loll
of course.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I said, you should tell everybody it was you, even
though it think just going to tell everybody it was you,
because if you run. If I put that out on
social media, said hey, I got a feeling Rob Parker
was the guy who didn't vote for you, that would
take off. People would go, oh, look at that. He
works with him, he knows him. Yet he would say
Rob Parker didn't vote for Eachiro. I could absolutely have
(01:47):
made that happen. It would be the greatest heal turn
that you could possibly take. And that's why you know,
there is an account that is a Mets beat writer
that claims to be the guy.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
But we haven't been able to corroperate that. But to
be able to be the one to go out and say, yeah,
full heel, I'm gonna be that guy.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Remember all those years ago the Shaquille O'Neal.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Vote, Yeah, unanimous, but one uh there was Fred Hickman,
was it not?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
So?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I mean, you know you've got you've got.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Circumstances in the past and then well defend it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Right, if you want to defend it, have at it.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
If it's just you don't think the guy and anybody
should ever go in you know, unanimous, or you don't
like the first ballad idea because guys in the past
weren't unanimous.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Get over yourself. For one. Uh two, it's a museum.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Uh three, h they you cost him this guy, I mean,
that's an extra inscription. Man, that's an extra hundred bucks,
a signature for the rest of his life. Unanimous.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now, now here's the thing. Now here's here's what's come
out in the last hour. Because as soon as I saw,
of course the Mets are going to keep each.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
From the right from a unanimous all of vamee the Mets.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Now, according to this bio on Twitter, and it seems
like I'm saying this seems legit. There's a guy named
Mark Gooden who says he's a senior VP beat writer
for the National Inquirer. Three times Pulluzu into all this stuff.
Hall of Fame voter says didn't vote for Eachiro. So
he actually has that in his profile that he didn't
vote for Eachiro. So this is out there, and and
(03:22):
and you know, and it looks like that's who it's
signed by. When when you see some of the some
of the ballots that are out there, that looks like
that's who signed it and printed his name.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So I don't know, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean he actually says on his Twitter account, I'm
the senior beat writer. I didn't vote for eachiro. So
I mean he's starting to wear it, I think a
little bit. But I you know, I don't know, man,
I mean really, I mean, there's been no real confirmation
other than that sky saying it was me.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It was me.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I did I did it. I did it. I did it.
I did it. I did it. That's like the guy
that's like the dream Cops at the end of the
TV show where the person just comes in and confesses
and says, yeah, yeah, I did it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Well tell us why. Okay, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
All the things you're never supposed to do, right, don't
don't admit anything, don't tell the plane does not only
am I gonna admit, I'll tell you why I did it? Yeah,
you want me to write it down and make a statement, sure,
I'll unburden myself. So, I mean, it seems like this
is who it is. But I mean, uh, but just
this whole, this whole, this whole stink of hey, Mets
guy keeping each room for the Hall of Fame from
(04:24):
we're getting in unanimously. I'm like, really, each row is
a guy you voted for, for good, for uh, for Rivera. Right,
you couldn't, Mets Guy couldn't keep Rivera from getting unanimous.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
No, no, no no, but we're gonna have We're gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Not vote for each row on here, which I mean,
come on, man, I mean seriously, the guy had two
hundred hits every year's first ten years in the majors.
He didn't get to the major till he was twenty seven, right,
he may have been the great Him, Him and Ricky
Henderson are probably the greatest top of the lineup hitters
that I have ever seen in my life. I don't
think anybody's gonna dispute that from you. He was terrific
(04:58):
defensively as well. I don't know what you want three
thousand hits if he has a full major league career, right,
if he's somehow able to come over from Japan early
and I gotta wait, you gotta play and get posted.
We see this now with Sasaki and Young Modo last year.
But if he was able to come over when he
was twenty two, right, let's see he comes over when
he's twenty seven and he gets two hundred hits a year.
Let's just let's just go conservative and say, Okay, two
(05:20):
hundred hits a year for him from the age of
twenty two to twenty seven. He's probably breaking Pete Rose's
hit record. He's probably he's probably topping forty two fifty six.
But no, no, no, I'm not voting. I'm not voting
for eachiro. I I just won't. I mean, I mean,
did you vote.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
For Chase Utley? Right? Like, I mean what'd you do?
Like how'd you treat this?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I don't understand, Like, like, who are you voting for
on this ballot?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Ahead of each Rosas? Yeah? Anybody else get voted for
ahead of each row? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
It is interesting because he's followed by a bunch of
baseball writers. National Inquirer not Enquirir, right, enchuoir is the
tabloid Inquirer just says, a very real periodical that employs
two good and seventeen, a great publication that has two
hundred and thirty one followers.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So I think it's parody and.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
He's having fun with it and he's creating a heel accounts.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, maybe maybe, But all of.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
That to say, there is somebody out there that really
should at least give us the rationale as to why
you didn't want Intro Suzuki to be immortalized as unanimous,
you know, because we've already got won, right, We got
Mariano Rivera, so that's our We've already broken that barrier.
(06:34):
And certainly you go back in the annals of history
and you had some silliness where we have you know,
so many guys that didn't vote for Maze or go
back to the inaugural class, didn't vote for Babe Ruth.
So plenty of precedents of stupidity about pettiness amongst writers.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, because it's the National inquir not the naturally.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No, the Inquirer.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But look at what their bio says on their Twitter account,
and it says employer of Mark Gooden, who is who
has owned this? So it's like, what what the hell
is it really like?
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Like notatman.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Occasionally I do update it there. I mean, just got
to keep people guessing. I don't want to give the
true identity.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
But but here's the thing, like, like, like is this
if you find out it's somebody else and this is
a you know, it's a satirical account and everything else,
you find this out, like what do you.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You know what? What? Like?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Like does it ever go away that, oh, Mets guy
didn't vote for each your oat right, Because that's the
first thing you hear, right, Oh Mets guy didn't vote
for guys like Mike Puma who've covered the Mets for
a long time.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
They're gonna get you didn't vote for each your o Puma. No,
not me. I didn't do it. I didn't. No, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, it's it's now always gonna be Mets guy, salty
Mets guys.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Guy who voted for Chase Utley. Yeah yeah, I mean
I I don't understand. I mean, one guy on his ballot.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Here's the other thing, like, like you have to you
have to cover baseball for a long time. You're gonna
do a lot of things right to be able to
vote for the Hall of Fame. Like I really, I mean,
I can't believe we haven't gotten more on this story
outside of this guy saying it was me.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It was me I'm looking for attention, Like, I can't
believe we haven't gotten that.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Like, I think this guy is legit, you know, for
whatever this is, whatever he does, But is this a
real publication?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
What is he?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Is he really right? Is he telling the truth about
what he's doing? Like, I think the guy is legit,
but what he does and actually having a vote, like
who knows?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Man? I mean, who knows well?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The Baseball Writers' Association of America. I mean it's ballot
number two fifty five was the one from twenty twenty
one that he posted up there, So, uh, same thing here.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Let's look at the ballot.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yeah, but is it his battle it's cut off to
where you don't have a number on this one, Yeah,
because then you didn't be able to corroborate and they'd
be able to just say, well, this was turned in
by and registered to X, you know what I mean. So,
whether this is legit or not, it makes for great
fodder because now it's the great mystery. We could do
this as well, you know, a podcast of all the
(08:57):
great travesties in voting history for different awards and systems.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh, Fred Hickman not voting for Shack right when he
was going to be unanimous MVP and Fred Hickman voted
for Alan ivers and I remember it his MVP ceremony,
Shack said, I want to thank everybody for this, even
a guy who didn't vote for me, like.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
He had fun with it going.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I could have been unanimous that No, no, no, I'm
voting for Alan Iverson for MVP. I mean, the bottom
line is somebody didn't vote for no matter how cut
it up, right, Like, what's worse for major League Baseball
that somebody who you know, if if it's a parody
account and somebody had a real vote and didn't vote
for him, or is it just somebody who covered the
game for a long time and doesn't feel like each
(09:39):
ro's a Hall of Famer. That's like lose lose because
either you have the hey, you're not really taking care
of your house where some kind of parody account or
whoever it is is going to come in and vote
and you allow them to have a vote, or oh yeah,
you actually employ someone that doesn't think ech Rosuzuki is
a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well you already.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I don't know what the worst I don't know what
the worst one is. I don't know, and again I
keep wanting to put out there. I'm just gonna keep
telling people it was Rob Parker. I'm just gonna keep no.
But I mean, you've got to We've got.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
This with the when we used to have the balloting
for you know, the college football you know coaches Paul Hey, uh,
sid filled this out.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Okay, cool, uh, but it's attributed to the coach.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Or you've got Heisman voters, or in baseball for the
Hall of Fame, people that haven't been on the beat
forever their legacy plays. They may not watch a game
in a month, but they're voting on the Hall of Fame. Hell,
you got guys that profess to watch all the time.
It's like, all right, who is their lead?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Nah?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I got nothing for you. So it's it's unfortunately, it's
a necessary evil unless you want to go to full on.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Veteran Paul players.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And change up how you're doing that or like they
have those committees. Once you're off the ballot altogether, right
and your ten years elapses. But in the interim, yeah,
you got to clean up your house because one way
or another, this is making a laughing stock of your process.
Not because someone didn't put eachro on, But I mean
put your name on it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
The old j Moore.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
When he was with us here at Fox Smore's Radio,
and that was that was to drop you' here a
hundred times in a profit.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Try you could put some respect on it, and that puts,
you know, absolutely late.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I think Jane Moore got D'Angelo Russell traded. I guarantee it.
I guarantee that was the guy.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
He probably had the final say, waved his finger and
made it so. But but legitimately it's the all right,
we want to know, like more curious at this point.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, it's who it is. But give me some sort.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Of rationale of why other than just because I didn't
want to.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, hiding behind some parody clients.
I don't know what I really I don't know what's
works for baseball. If hey, we're not taking care of
our own house and we let some crazy you know,
get in here and not vote for eachro or oh no, no,
the guys we trust implicitly one of our.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Guys didn't vote for each Like, I don't know. I
don't know any of the game.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I don't know, Like I'm trying to think like if
I had a big fan. I got a bunch of kids, right,
I have a bunch of kids, And let's say one
of my kids gets busted for stealing a mailbox.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Right in theory, right, let's like father like son. Yeah,
like apple doesn't fall.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Too far from the tree. Right, Let's say one of
my kids gets busted.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Rights Zoe ever been called to the principal's office?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You know, the backpack full of knickknacks and a sort
of chokes nor friends.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But boy, I stole mailboxes. I got license plates in
my backpack. What do you need? It's like, like, what's
where's if I had a big fan, Like he said, okay,
one of your kids is but god stole a mailbox?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Oh my god. I told my kids. I told that story.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It was really funny one night, Like what I wanted
to be Hey, the kid who's always in trouble that
you would kind of expect it from, and boy, really
needed to keep a better eye on the kid, or
the kid who's got all the straight a's.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That I trusted.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Hey, hey, it's our shining example going to get a
scholarship to college, Like like like, what's more?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
What's more embarrassing? Which stealing.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The stealing the mailbox in line would be more embarrassing.
I gotta think it's I gotta think it's worse for
I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Know it's it's be because now you got two delinquents.
Yeah no, but but I'm but I'm just thinking that.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Ay, and what did that guy get away with all
the other years before he finally got caught. But where's
the other You were had a close eye on him.
He was only getting so far.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Dad, Let me, Dad, let me tell you this, this
whole mailbox, saying that's the that's the tip of the iceberg.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Don't wait, hip deep in. Don't ask me what you
don't want to know.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Remember when I asked, asked our next door neighbor, I
wanted a little extra closet space.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, he actually built a false wall here. Watch this.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I just feel like he'd be sitting there like McConaughey
in the first season of True Detectives, making the things
with the beer cans and talking about Dora Lang and
all that. What's going on here? Time is a flat circle.
What are you telling me? What do you did you?
Did you vote for each ro or not? I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
It's so great, but it's it's just a great mythology
that now emanates from this. And if I'm Rob Barker
or one of the other nine million voters or whatever
the number of visual number is at this point, I
think that's Heisman voters. I would want an answer. I
would want the Writers' Association of America to follow up
(14:20):
on this again, h as much of why didn't someone
vote for intro as a do we have a problem
in our system where a guy had a parody.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Account who might have been legit at one point I
don't know right exactly, like yeah, like and.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
He kept a vote and now he's mad, he's clown
in us all. I don't know. It's like this, it's
like this by TV shows.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Is it worse that that that the the assassin is
evading the the or is it worse that there's a
mole from inside?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Like like what's worse? Like we can't get the guy
like they got through our writing process and we red main.
He's so smart, he's eliminating everybody.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
We can't get to any Redmain Or is it, oh,
we actually have somebody working against you really just wanted
to go the fact that he got someone called the Jackal?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Is that really all you're trying to do?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
This?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Whittname? Where do we play the Jackal song by Ronnie Jordan?
Coming back? Tyson will find that in.

see some coaches get retained? Kevin O'Connell agree to a
(17:48):
multi year extension with the Vikings Today, Josh McDaniels is
coming back to the Patriots as offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
But the Cowboys still don't have a head coach. Oh
what's next?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
So the best way to break that down? I love
AI Jerry Jones, We head the hotline. Welcome inside. Longtime
friend of the show Odyssey one O five seven, the
fan in Baltimore, Wathington Post NFL insider Jason lock and
For he's on Twitter at Jason lock and Fora. I
can confirm Jason lock and For was not the person
(18:22):
who did not vote for Eachiro for the Hall of
Fame today, James want to get that out there, I
don't want if he's asking.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
You about that, yeah, not me, not me.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I mean he kind of figured one person or a
couple of people would do it, though, right, I mean,
just seems to be the times we're living it.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
All right, So we're talking the head coaching situations here
and yeah, okay, we thought Kevin O'Connell would get his
contract extension.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Here comes Josh McDaniels back with the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
The Cowboys seem like they're gonna choose between Kellen Moore
and Brian Schottenneimer. I mean, tell me, tell me, Jerry Jones,
tell me, tell me, tell me, this is not who
Jerry Jones fired Mike McCarthy for Jay.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I won't believe it until I say it. That just
seems like such an incredible cop out all the way around.
And not that he's not capable of it, because again,
he just wants something he can sell, or just something
he can push around, something that will provide no push back,
(19:23):
something of an empty vessel that he can coach the
team through. And boy, either of those hires would be
just that. I mean, he didn't walk Kellen Moore running
his offense anymore, you know, seemingly ten minutes ago, and
nobody's wanting shot for a long time, and when they've
had him running it, they've generally decided, you know, within
(19:46):
a season or two later, that yeah, that's not for us.
And then the what kind of staffs are those two
are going to put together? Like I I don't know, man,
Look this is this is these are feastoms. And if
(20:07):
you know, the guy running that village wants to do
something that seemingly no sound football person would do, there's
no way to stop them. So I I part of me,
the common sense part of me, is like, some of
this is just travel and some of this is just grandstanding.
(20:29):
And then if beyond ride General white Horse, it's going
to be even more. You know, look at us, I
fool they all, but I don't know, man, like like
I don't know, my god, Yeah, good luck, good.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Luck now Hope now my hometown.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
They make the big splash Jason as they go and
they get Ben Johnson in reported thirteen million dollars a year.
The hard knocks they did with the Bear stunk. I
want to see the inner workings of this and the
pitch they made to McCaskey to spend the money.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Yeah, look, they they've got the quarterbacks. He knows that Demons,
you know, pretty well for preparing to face them twice
a year. He also knows the best team in the
division really well for leading their offense with the pest
a few years. So it makes a lot of sense
in that regard. He was going to take a job
(21:35):
this year. He changed agents a while back, and you know,
I think his mindset had changed a little bit. This
was he was taking, in all likelihood a job whether
you know they won a Super Bowl or you know,
went out the first round. So I don't think there
is an influence at all by how this season ended.
This is already headed towards that track. And you know,
(21:59):
his representation, Rick Smith put together that thing in Detroit.
Nobody wanted to go to Detroit coming out of the
dregs of you know, Matt Patricia and all that, and
nobody's won in Detroit forever, and nobody took Detroit seriously
and Ben Johnson was part of a thing there that
turned Detroit around. So I have serious reservations about Ryan
(22:23):
Poles as the general manager. But Ryan Poles is the
guy to be able to build that offensive line out
the way it needs to be built, and we'll see
how long you know that part of the marriage last.
I would think Ryan Poles, you know, better have one
hell of an offseason because if they don't, how are
you going to let him keep picking players for this
young head coach. I just don't think that's going to happen. So,
(22:46):
you know, good luck with this free agent class is
not a whole lot out there, so they're gonna have
to draft, well, they're gonna have to manipulate the draft
board and maybe move around a little bit. We'll see.
But you know, if you're Ben Jonson and you don't
want to deal with the chaos and craziness of the Jets, sorry,
(23:06):
and you don't want to go to New Orleans where
they're in salary cap hell, and they've got to gut
that thing still, And even though it's you know, a
somewhat weak division. There's not great talent there, and there's
no real great easy road to a quarterback Jacksonville. They've
been trying to hire him there for you know whatever,
(23:28):
they've wanted him in the past. Like, I just I
don't think he wants anything to do with that situation.
And the Raiders don't have a road to a quarterback.
So yeah, if you were going to take one this
time around of the ones that are out there, that's
a pretty good that's a pretty good one to take.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I think, Jason looking for our guest Jason Smith Mike
Carmon Live from the tirec dot Com studios. All right,
speaking of now off season, I can only imagine what
the last thirty six hours have been for you in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Is it all Lamar's fault? Is it all Mark Andrews's fault? Like, like,
what's what's not all Lamar's fault?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yeah, I mean I don't know. You have to be
on a different planet to think of you.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
No, I mean, what are people saying, no, no, no, Like,
what are people saying all Lamar can't come through?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Is it all Mark andrew roped the ball? Like? What
is it? What is it there?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Well, I mean I think it is. It's it's just
sort of consternation and confusion. Like the defense which last year,
not in twenty twenty four, but the twenty twenty two season,
you know, became the first in NFL history to lead
the league and points allowed, fact takeaways in Lamar, Like
(24:37):
in Lamar Jackson's playoff history, they created two turnovers. Like
so we can talk about early in Lamar's career when
he turned it over, but they have created two turnovers
in the entirety of his playoff existence. But how is that, like,
how is it possible? Like that just seems somewhat impossible.
And Lamar, whose first half wasn't is you know, wasn't
(25:00):
deal buck in half was unbelievable. But Lamar has two
turnovers for the first time in the AFC Championship game less,
and he does it all in the first half of
the game. And again, he hadn't done it to the
Chiefs game a year ago. It's just it's hard to secure.
Mark Andrews has been one of their most productive offensive
(25:24):
players in the regular season in the history of their organization.
He's been a joke in the playoffs, and it's not
just this game. I mean, you can look at any
metric to evaluate him regular season to postseason. He's not
the same guy. Got a twenty percent drop rate in
the playoffs, like he's got a five percent to operate
in the regular season. He's never had a playoff touchdown,
(25:44):
and he was a huge player at the first game
where he went over fifty yards receiving with Lamar in
a playoff game, and nobody's going to remember that. They remember,
you know, the two drops in the fumble. So I
think it's it's trying to make sensive of all that
of why a team an average seven point three yards
of play pulled Josh Allen one hundred and forty seven
total yards and four point six yards of play as
(26:06):
an offense produced one hundred and fifty yards more than
the other team on the road in average conditions and
still lose. It's it's it's, you know, it's kind of
tough to sort out. It's another game where they didn't
run the ball in the ways that a lot of
people thought they would have should have, and they didn't
run it ultimately with the volume that a lot of
(26:28):
people would say they should have. Lamar's legs not being
activated at all on a single design run for Lamar
pretty bizarre. And so you know, they're really good at
finding ways to lose in the playoffs and they're not
good enough for finding ways to win.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
So when we talk again next week, Jason Locking for
Washington Post one five seven the Fan, Aaron Baltimore, who
are we talking about for two weeks?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And what storylines are we following to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I mean, Patch Mahomes is sixteen and three in the playoffs,
so I'm not betting against him, you know. And are
the Bills going to turn them over three times? Because
I'm old enough to remember like around week nine when
Patrick Mahonmes was leading the league and in the substance,
and I don't be unthrown one. They haven't turn the
ball over, I don't think since that game against the Bill,
(27:20):
So I don't think they're handing this away. That's not
what they do. And that Bills defense, to me, is
really reliant on takeaways. And if the safeties are beat up,
I mean Baltimore had throw the ball and Migle Field
all they wanted. They were split in the safeties and
you know Raps banged up the nickel guys banged up. Now.
(27:41):
I don't know, man, I don't think they're beating the
Chiefs and Narrowhead and then the other one.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Man.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
I'm not betting against Jayan Daniels. I mean, I think
they can come out with an early game script, take
an early lead, get the Eagles a little jittery, get
those fans. Maybe turning on the Eagles forced the Eagle
to open it up more than maybe they'd like, Like
they'd just like to run, say Calon Barkley thirty times
and you know, win that game nine to seven if
(28:08):
they had to. But I don't think that's going to
be in the cards. I don't know. I mean, I
know that they're not going to blitz like crazy like
they did the last game against Washington. But still that
happened this kid through five touchdown passes on Vick Fangio's defense.
You can't tell me that's not in their heads a
little bit. Knowing to Kobe Dean, I think is going
to be a problem. How healthy is Jayden Hirts? Like,
(28:29):
are we buying that he's anything close to healthy?
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Like?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
I don't think he is. You're gonna practice this week?
I'm not so sure, you know, and you got Kuna
Mitchell banged up. You got a few people all banged
up in their secondary. I take Washington and I know
rookie quarterbacks in the Agency championship game. This is where
the story generally dies. But I'm not sure that this
kid done fucking conventional wisdom. Yet.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
He's on Twitter at Jason lock and fora that is
at Jason Locke and fora All Washington Post one five seven.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
J as always buddy, appreciated man. We'll talk to you
next week after the games.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
My pleasure. Guys, have a great week.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Be good, buddy, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
There goes Jason Locking for I mean, yeah, I mean
look that he's right in that.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Okay, Hey, Usually this is.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Where we get to the end of a big run,
a magical run, because one great player against a great team. Generally,
the great team wins. Except that absolutely did not happen
last week, and the Lions are home because of it,
and especially now this week.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Like I felt worse about.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
The Commanders last week than they do about them this week.
I felt worse about them last week. They're not gonna win.
They win Now I feel really good about them because
the Eagles have all kinds of injury issues and yeah,
Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I mean he couldn't move like he could. Well, you
saw the last last quarter of that game. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
His post game, he's standing there with Saquon Barkley and
they ask him about his injury.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
He goes, I finished the game. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Oh, and like very tersely, like asks something else. Yeah,
I finished the game.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I mean who I mean, get ready, Roger Warsk he
could be coming in for a lot of this game.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Ooh, nicely done. Hurts gets hurt man, I'll tell you
the Jason Smithson tirect dot com Studios. Oh yeah, yeah,
I think you.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I mean I think he's actually going to be at
the stadium and if something happens, they give him the
ghost sign and he gets and he gets dressed and
he goes down and comes out.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Of the half time. Hey everybody, how you doing? Hey
it's good.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Time Now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. From special delivery Steve de Sager. He
was the one who told the voter, hey, don't vote
for each your row. I really don't think he's a
Hall of Famer.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
My goodness, who was that for?
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Credl As I mentioned on the previous show, I'm a
fan of the sport and of the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
You owe me an explanation for this, whoever.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You are again, I want to say, as soon as
it came out, I texted Rob Parker.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You voted for Eachiro? He told me, yes, so it's
not Rob Parker.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Now.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Rob's big thing was how are people voting for ten
people for.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
The whole of tame?
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Yeah, you know, legitimate question, some misselle. You're allowed to,
You are allowed to. Some voters today literally set out loud.
They did so only because they don't want some guys
to fall off the ballot, you know, getting under five
percent of the vote, they would automatically be off and.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Not considered for the ten years.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
And they want more discussion at least on Brian McCann
or whoever into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Eachiro Suzuki, C. C. Sabathia,
and Billy Wagner. Eachiro, mostly with the Mariners, had over
three thousand hits in the majors and five hundred stolen bases,
and won a Gold Glove in each of his first
ten years with Seattle. The vote was nearly unanimous for Suzuki,
(31:52):
just one vote.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Shy.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
By the way, you were talking football, no rookie quarterback
has ever started a Super Bowl. Rookies in conference championshi
are zero and five, including the losses by Mark Sanchez
and Joe Flacco years ago, or brock Perty who started
and of course didn't finish in recent years. But The
NFC Championship game is on Fox TV Sunday, three pm
Eastern Time, Washington at Philadelphia. They split their two regular
(32:16):
season meetings. Then the AFC Title Game is Sunday, Buffalo
at Kansas City. The Bills beat them in Buffalo in November.
The Chiefs had been nine to zero until then. This
is their fourth playoff meeting in the last five years,
and Kansas City's won the previous three. The New York
Jets talked to Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn again today
and they're trying to finalize the deal. Glenn reportedly has
(32:39):
an offer. Dallas interviewed its offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for
its head coach opening. The Cowboys have already interviewed Kellen Moore,
Robert Sola, Leslie Fraser. The Patriots are hiring Josh McDaniels
as offensive coordinator for new head coach Mike Frable. New
England spoke with McDaniels today. By the way, New Orleans,
due to bad weather, rescheduled its interviews. Temperatures in the
(33:00):
twenties there tonight and some snow.
Speaker 7 (33:03):
New Orleans is going to.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Be hosting the Super Bowl in two and a half weeks,
but they say the temperature will be in the sixties
in a couple weeks when the media and the teams
are there for the week. The Vikings today gave head
coach Kevin O'Connell a contract extension to the NBA. The
Knicks won ninety nine to ninety five at Brooklyn Karl
Anthony Towns twenty five points sixteen rebounds. At Toronto, the
Raptors were trailing Orlando in the first quarter thirty two
(33:26):
to eleven, and still came back to beat the Magic
one oh nine ninety three, Portland one at Miami won
sixteen one oh seven. There are two late games. Lakers
about to start at home against Washington, which has lost
ten in a row. Philadelphia has dropped six in a row,
and they're losing at Denver early second quarter forty three
to thirty two. Kawhi Leonard of the Clippers will miss
(33:47):
a second straight game tomorrow due to his bad knee,
and Cleveland's Evan Mobley will miss a third straight game
tomorrow due to a strained calf. Upset in college hoops,
Ohio State came back to win at number eleven per
Due Yukon in overtime edge Butler. Currently, Arizona State is
leading at number twenty three West Virginia forty eight to
forty eight.

(35:11):
the other day and like.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Somebody didn't know how to spell eagles, Like that was
a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
You know, spell eagles. I could do it.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon,
Live from the Tirech dot Com Studios. Now, we had
a pesky thing called the National Championship Game last night
in college football.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
But now we're free and clear.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
We're free and clear of that now, so now we
can get into the ongoing drama.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
That is the Mayor of Philadelphia this weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
It's something that really just started to hit the mainstream
in the last few hours.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
The mayor of Philadelphia, Charrelle Parker.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Is catching a lot of heat for a pregame Eagles
chant she tried to lead before their playoff game on Sunday.
Now she has since you sort of apologize for this,
but you know what, in case you don't know what
we're talking about, let's just play it for you. Here
is the mayor trying to psych up the crowd a
little press conference, get everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Ready for the Eagles game on Sunday against the Rams.
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Hey, ow, g.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yes, let's go Birds, guys.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Let's give her one more chance.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Oh do you hear the chance to spell Eagles? Right?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
This is the mayor of Philadelphia. I understand another chance
of that because the e E A g l e
S is the Eagles chant, right like J E T
S E A G L e S Eagles.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Let's let's give it another chance to get it right.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
Hey, ow.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yes, fo.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Really E E L G S L E S that's
el Giles. Yeah, I don't understand. Now, hang on, she's
worse because at least Tony Richardson got the first three letters.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Like he just went landing.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Okay, yeah, but okay j E T. It should just
be an S. But he did j E T. He
got the first three letters right, she bifted on the
second letter.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
She said that someone might have held up the card
that had the wrong thing. I mean, there might have
been a bunch of people, you know, like you know
when you paint your chest and you're supposed to stand
in a line and you do it wrong.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Maybe that was what happened here. I need a starting
at people in the crowd. I need a card to
tell me how to spell eagles. I need a card.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
No, no, no, I'm not saying you do when I'm saying,
maybe you were looking out and that's how they were arranged.
They had two l's even supposed to be an A
and he should think somewhere and he screwed me.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Instead of with somebody holding an E, someone holding an A,
someone holding a G, it was someone holding an E.
Then the next person was holding an L, the next
person holding a G. The next person was an S,
then an L. Then even if they get the letters
around and they spelled gales or something like that, all
I know is she took me. Now, she did have
a fun comment today.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
She was.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
She actually talked about today in the Pursuit of perfection
as part of a press conference. She goes, listen, you
know none of us are ever perfect. That we keep
striving for it, which is great. I know about perfection
since I didn't know how to spell eagles the other day.
But like this is this is like, this is not
like e G L E S. Like, oh, I forgot
the A, you know, this is not all I forgot
(38:29):
the A or I forgot the GA.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
You know I missed a letter.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
This was I'm putting the wrong letter second, and then
I'm putting an S as the fourth. That are like,
I'm missing like four letters here in this. I'm like,
of the slots you can get eagles wrong, she's missing
like four of them.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Hey man, this is like being on Wheel of Fortune
and you just have something in your head and it
goes haywire.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, look at this epic fail on Wheel
of Fortune from last night.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
This is way worse, way worse.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
You know, because part of me thinks, not that I'm
conspiracy theory, but boy, you know, every week or so
to keep Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy in the news,
like there's a story of somebody who really has a
horrible epic fail to a question that gains a lot
of viral attention.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
I wonder, is that one hundred percent legit?
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Is? That?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Is that biffing of it? One hundred percent legit? Really?
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Well, like this happens and it helps to prove the
point Frostbert was trying to make over a week ago.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Oh yeah, Jason thought I was kidding.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Oh no, no, no, you said nobody could read her, right, No,
I know, for you, clearly.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
She needs to read that aj Brown book or maybe
to start a little bit you know, lower at that.
But uh you thet Yeah, because maybe because Elgasis that
sounds like a name from Lord of the.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Rings, like like we're going to Elvis is battling Sniegel
in a prequel. Yes, I think you just invoked something
from the Fifth Ring of Hell e L.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
I mean, I don't know how that's what you get
out of it.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I know it was really cold.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I think you remembers that I have the shit, But wow, man,
I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I don't understand it. I don't understand how that's how
you bit that so badly.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
You know, we all have a bad day, bad moment,
and maybe it got some extra attention for some of
the pet projects because people were curious how she would
respond so Kensington Wellness Court, and it helped get some
extra attention on it.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
So you think maybe, like when when people throw a
bad first pitch on purpose because it will gain notoriety
on the you look at the first pitch that Fitty
sent through, look at the first pitch so and so through,
because people will pay more attention if you just throw
it over the middle of the plate. So you think
maybe this could have been This could have been one
of those Hey, I misspelled it, but I didn't really.
Now you're paying attention to me, and I want to
talk about rolling out my economic plan for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
No, no, no, I think it was terribly botched. And
then what do you do when you break a few eggs? Hey,
we got an extra vegetables in there and maybe some
leftover ham or something, so I can make an omelet.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Yeah, that's what we did here.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Hey, I've got to go to this unveiling of a
wellness court and thing to help support people, maybe get
treatment instead of jail. Here's how I can make the
best out of my bad situation.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Hashtag Elgis's Elvis, elgas'sag Elgis.
Speaker 5 (41:22):
She's holding Karen Bouss's beers.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Oh, I tell you Frostburg off the top row?
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Coming up next, something we haven't gotten to about today's
Hall of Fame voting and wife, you didn't get in
the Hall of Fame as a baseball player, don't worry.
Speaker 2 (41:36):

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome inside, Happy Tuesday, The Jason Smith Show with

Speaker 2 (00:35):

Speaker 2 (00:49):
He is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Well, the Hall of Fame call today, Mike Harmon, and
I gotta tell you the first thing I did when
I found out that Ichiro Suzuki e yourro cc Sabathia,
Billy Wagner, Metsio get into the Hall of Fame. And
the big topic right away, obviously, is Eachiro is one
vote away from being unanimous. Which who didn't vote for
(01:16):
each Heiro. I mean, come on. First thing I did
was I texted Rob Parker. I said, dude, you.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Voted for each Hero, right? He texted me back loll
of course.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I said, you should tell everybody it was you, even
though it think just going to tell everybody it was you,
because if you run. If I put that out on
social media, said hey, I got a feeling Rob Parker
was the guy who didn't vote for you, that would
take off. People would go, oh, look at that. He
works with him, he knows him. Yet he would say
Rob Parker didn't vote for Eachiro. I could absolutely have
(01:47):
made that happen. It would be the greatest heal turn
that you could possibly take. And that's why you know,
there is an account that is a Mets beat writer
that claims to be the guy.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
But we haven't been able to corroperate that. But to
be able to be the one to go out and say, yeah,
full heel, I'm gonna be that guy.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Remember all those years ago the Shaquille O'Neal.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Vote, Yeah, unanimous, but one uh there was Fred Hickman,
was it not?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
So?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I mean, you know you've got you've got.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Circumstances in the past and then well defend it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Right, if you want to defend it, have at it.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
If it's just you don't think the guy and anybody
should ever go in you know, unanimous, or you don't
like the first ballad idea because guys in the past
weren't unanimous.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Get over yourself. For one. Uh two, it's a museum.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Uh three, h they you cost him this guy, I mean,
that's an extra inscription. Man, that's an extra hundred bucks,
a signature for the rest of his life. Unanimous.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now, now here's the thing. Now here's here's what's come
out in the last hour. Because as soon as I saw,
of course the Mets are going to keep each.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
From the right from a unanimous all of vamee the Mets.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Now, according to this bio on Twitter, and it seems
like I'm saying this seems legit. There's a guy named
Mark Gooden who says he's a senior VP beat writer
for the National Inquirer. Three times Pulluzu into all this stuff.
Hall of Fame voter says didn't vote for Eachiro. So
he actually has that in his profile that he didn't
vote for Eachiro. So this is out there, and and
(03:22):
and you know, and it looks like that's who it's
signed by. When when you see some of the some
of the ballots that are out there, that looks like
that's who signed it and printed his name.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So I don't know, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean he actually says on his Twitter account, I'm
the senior beat writer. I didn't vote for eachiro. So
I mean he's starting to wear it, I think a
little bit. But I you know, I don't know, man,
I mean really, I mean, there's been no real confirmation
other than that sky saying it was me.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It was me.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I did I did it. I did it. I did it.
I did it. I did it. That's like the guy
that's like the dream Cops at the end of the
TV show where the person just comes in and confesses
and says, yeah, yeah, I did it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Well tell us why. Okay, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
All the things you're never supposed to do, right, don't
don't admit anything, don't tell the plane does not only
am I gonna admit, I'll tell you why I did it? Yeah,
you want me to write it down and make a statement, sure,
I'll unburden myself. So, I mean, it seems like this
is who it is. But I mean, uh, but just
this whole, this whole, this whole stink of hey, Mets
guy keeping each room for the Hall of Fame from
(04:24):
we're getting in unanimously. I'm like, really, each row is
a guy you voted for, for good, for uh, for Rivera. Right,
you couldn't, Mets Guy couldn't keep Rivera from getting unanimous.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
No, no, no no, but we're gonna have We're gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Not vote for each row on here, which I mean,
come on, man, I mean seriously, the guy had two
hundred hits every year's first ten years in the majors.
He didn't get to the major till he was twenty seven, right,
he may have been the great Him, Him and Ricky
Henderson are probably the greatest top of the lineup hitters
that I have ever seen in my life. I don't
think anybody's gonna dispute that from you. He was terrific
(04:58):
defensively as well. I don't know what you want three
thousand hits if he has a full major league career, right,
if he's somehow able to come over from Japan early
and I gotta wait, you gotta play and get posted.
We see this now with Sasaki and Young Modo last year.
But if he was able to come over when he
was twenty two, right, let's see he comes over when
he's twenty seven and he gets two hundred hits a year.
Let's just let's just go conservative and say, Okay, two
(05:20):
hundred hits a year for him from the age of
twenty two to twenty seven. He's probably breaking Pete Rose's
hit record. He's probably he's probably topping forty two fifty six.
But no, no, no, I'm not voting. I'm not voting
for eachiro. I I just won't. I mean, I mean,
did you vote.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
For Chase Utley? Right? Like, I mean what'd you do?
Like how'd you treat this?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I don't understand, Like, like, who are you voting for
on this ballot?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Ahead of each Rosas? Yeah? Anybody else get voted for
ahead of each row? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
It is interesting because he's followed by a bunch of
baseball writers. National Inquirer not Enquirir, right, enchuoir is the
tabloid Inquirer just says, a very real periodical that employs
two good and seventeen, a great publication that has two
hundred and thirty one followers.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So I think it's parody and.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
He's having fun with it and he's creating a heel accounts.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, maybe maybe, But all of.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
That to say, there is somebody out there that really
should at least give us the rationale as to why
you didn't want Intro Suzuki to be immortalized as unanimous,
you know, because we've already got won, right, We got
Mariano Rivera, so that's our We've already broken that barrier.
(06:34):
And certainly you go back in the annals of history
and you had some silliness where we have you know,
so many guys that didn't vote for Maze or go
back to the inaugural class, didn't vote for Babe Ruth.
So plenty of precedents of stupidity about pettiness amongst writers.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, because it's the National inquir not the naturally.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No, the Inquirer.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But look at what their bio says on their Twitter account,
and it says employer of Mark Gooden, who is who
has owned this? So it's like, what what the hell
is it really like?
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Like notatman.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Occasionally I do update it there. I mean, just got
to keep people guessing. I don't want to give the
true identity.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
But but here's the thing, like, like, like is this
if you find out it's somebody else and this is
a you know, it's a satirical account and everything else,
you find this out, like what do you.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You know what? What? Like?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Like does it ever go away that, oh, Mets guy
didn't vote for each your oat right, Because that's the
first thing you hear, right, Oh Mets guy didn't vote
for guys like Mike Puma who've covered the Mets for
a long time.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
They're gonna get you didn't vote for each your o Puma. No,
not me. I didn't do it. I didn't. No, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, it's it's now always gonna be Mets guy, salty
Mets guys.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Guy who voted for Chase Utley. Yeah yeah, I mean
I I don't understand. I mean, one guy on his ballot.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Here's the other thing, like, like you have to you
have to cover baseball for a long time. You're gonna
do a lot of things right to be able to
vote for the Hall of Fame. Like I really, I mean,
I can't believe we haven't gotten more on this story
outside of this guy saying it was me.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It was me I'm looking for attention, Like, I can't
believe we haven't gotten that.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Like, I think this guy is legit, you know, for
whatever this is, whatever he does, But is this a
real publication?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
What is he?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Is he really right? Is he telling the truth about
what he's doing? Like, I think the guy is legit,
but what he does and actually having a vote, like
who knows?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Man? I mean, who knows well?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The Baseball Writers' Association of America. I mean it's ballot
number two fifty five was the one from twenty twenty
one that he posted up there, So, uh, same thing here.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Let's look at the ballot.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yeah, but is it his battle it's cut off to
where you don't have a number on this one, Yeah,
because then you didn't be able to corroborate and they'd
be able to just say, well, this was turned in
by and registered to X, you know what I mean. So,
whether this is legit or not, it makes for great
fodder because now it's the great mystery. We could do
this as well, you know, a podcast of all the
(08:57):
great travesties in voting history for different awards and systems.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh, Fred Hickman not voting for Shack right when he
was going to be unanimous MVP and Fred Hickman voted
for Alan ivers and I remember it his MVP ceremony,
Shack said, I want to thank everybody for this, even
a guy who didn't vote for me, like.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
He had fun with it going.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I could have been unanimous that No, no, no, I'm
voting for Alan Iverson for MVP. I mean, the bottom
line is somebody didn't vote for no matter how cut
it up, right, Like, what's worse for major League Baseball
that somebody who you know, if if it's a parody
account and somebody had a real vote and didn't vote
for him, or is it just somebody who covered the
game for a long time and doesn't feel like each
(09:39):
ro's a Hall of Famer. That's like lose lose because
either you have the hey, you're not really taking care
of your house where some kind of parody account or
whoever it is is going to come in and vote
and you allow them to have a vote, or oh yeah,
you actually employ someone that doesn't think ech Rosuzuki is
a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well you already.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I don't know what the worst I don't know what
the worst one is. I don't know, and again I
keep wanting to put out there. I'm just gonna keep
telling people it was Rob Parker. I'm just gonna keep no.
But I mean, you've got to We've got.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
This with the when we used to have the balloting
for you know, the college football you know coaches Paul Hey, uh,
sid filled this out.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Okay, cool, uh, but it's attributed to the coach.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Or you've got Heisman voters, or in baseball for the
Hall of Fame, people that haven't been on the beat
forever their legacy plays. They may not watch a game
in a month, but they're voting on the Hall of Fame. Hell,
you got guys that profess to watch all the time.
It's like, all right, who is their lead?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Nah?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I got nothing for you. So it's it's unfortunately, it's
a necessary evil unless you want to go to full on.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Veteran Paul players.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And change up how you're doing that or like they
have those committees. Once you're off the ballot altogether, right
and your ten years elapses. But in the interim, yeah,
you got to clean up your house because one way
or another, this is making a laughing stock of your process.
Not because someone didn't put eachro on, But I mean
put your name on it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
The old j Moore.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
When he was with us here at Fox Smore's Radio,
and that was that was to drop you' here a
hundred times in a profit.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Try you could put some respect on it, and that puts,
you know, absolutely late.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I think Jane Moore got D'Angelo Russell traded. I guarantee it.
I guarantee that was the guy.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
He probably had the final say, waved his finger and
made it so. But but legitimately it's the all right,
we want to know, like more curious at this point.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, it's who it is. But give me some sort.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Of rationale of why other than just because I didn't
want to.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, hiding behind some parody clients.
I don't know what I really I don't know what's
works for baseball. If hey, we're not taking care of
our own house and we let some crazy you know,
get in here and not vote for eachro or oh no, no,
the guys we trust implicitly one of our.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Guys didn't vote for each Like, I don't know. I
don't know any of the game.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I don't know, Like I'm trying to think like if
I had a big fan. I got a bunch of kids, right,
I have a bunch of kids, And let's say one
of my kids gets busted for stealing a mailbox.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Right in theory, right, let's like father like son. Yeah,
like apple doesn't fall.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Too far from the tree. Right, Let's say one of
my kids gets busted.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Rights Zoe ever been called to the principal's office?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You know, the backpack full of knickknacks and a sort
of chokes nor friends.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But boy, I stole mailboxes. I got license plates in
my backpack. What do you need? It's like, like, what's
where's if I had a big fan, Like he said, okay,
one of your kids is but god stole a mailbox?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Oh my god. I told my kids. I told that story.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It was really funny one night, Like what I wanted
to be Hey, the kid who's always in trouble that
you would kind of expect it from, and boy, really
needed to keep a better eye on the kid, or
the kid who's got all the straight a's.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That I trusted.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Hey, hey, it's our shining example going to get a
scholarship to college, Like like like, what's more?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
What's more embarrassing? Which stealing.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The stealing the mailbox in line would be more embarrassing.
I gotta think it's I gotta think it's worse for
I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Know it's it's be because now you got two delinquents.
Yeah no, but but I'm but I'm just thinking that.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Ay, and what did that guy get away with all
the other years before he finally got caught. But where's
the other You were had a close eye on him.
He was only getting so far.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Dad, Let me, Dad, let me tell you this, this
whole mailbox, saying that's the that's the tip of the iceberg.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Don't wait, hip deep in. Don't ask me what you
don't want to know.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Remember when I asked, asked our next door neighbor, I
wanted a little extra closet space.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, he actually built a false wall here. Watch this.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I just feel like he'd be sitting there like McConaughey
in the first season of True Detectives, making the things
with the beer cans and talking about Dora Lang and
all that. What's going on here? Time is a flat circle.
What are you telling me? What do you did you?
Did you vote for each ro or not? I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
It's so great, but it's it's just a great mythology
that now emanates from this. And if I'm Rob Barker
or one of the other nine million voters or whatever
the number of visual number is at this point, I
think that's Heisman voters. I would want an answer. I
would want the Writers' Association of America to follow up
(14:20):
on this again, h as much of why didn't someone
vote for intro as a do we have a problem
in our system where a guy had a parody.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Account who might have been legit at one point I
don't know right exactly, like yeah, like and.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
He kept a vote and now he's mad, he's clown
in us all. I don't know. It's like this, it's
like this by TV shows.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Is it worse that that that the the assassin is
evading the the or is it worse that there's a
mole from inside?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Like like what's worse? Like we can't get the guy
like they got through our writing process and we red main.
He's so smart, he's eliminating everybody.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
We can't get to any Redmain Or is it, oh,
we actually have somebody working against you really just wanted
to go the fact that he got someone called the Jackal?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Is that really all you're trying to do?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
This?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Whittname? Where do we play the Jackal song by Ronnie Jordan?
Coming back? Tyson will find that in.

see some coaches get retained? Kevin O'Connell agree to a
(17:48):
multi year extension with the Vikings Today, Josh McDaniels is
coming back to the Patriots as offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
But the Cowboys still don't have a head coach. Oh
what's next?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
So the best way to break that down? I love
AI Jerry Jones, We head the hotline. Welcome inside. Longtime
friend of the show Odyssey one O five seven, the
fan in Baltimore, Wathington Post NFL insider Jason lock and
For he's on Twitter at Jason lock and Fora. I
can confirm Jason lock and For was not the person
(18:22):
who did not vote for Eachiro for the Hall of
Fame today, James want to get that out there, I
don't want if he's asking.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
You about that, yeah, not me, not me.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I mean he kind of figured one person or a
couple of people would do it, though, right, I mean,
just seems to be the times we're living it.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
All right, So we're talking the head coaching situations here
and yeah, okay, we thought Kevin O'Connell would get his
contract extension.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Here comes Josh McDaniels back with the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
The Cowboys seem like they're gonna choose between Kellen Moore
and Brian Schottenneimer. I mean, tell me, tell me, Jerry Jones,
tell me, tell me, tell me, this is not who
Jerry Jones fired Mike McCarthy for Jay.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I won't believe it until I say it. That just
seems like such an incredible cop out all the way around.
And not that he's not capable of it, because again,
he just wants something he can sell, or just something
he can push around, something that will provide no push back,
(19:23):
something of an empty vessel that he can coach the
team through. And boy, either of those hires would be
just that. I mean, he didn't walk Kellen Moore running
his offense anymore, you know, seemingly ten minutes ago, and
nobody's wanting shot for a long time, and when they've
had him running it, they've generally decided, you know, within
(19:46):
a season or two later, that yeah, that's not for us.
And then the what kind of staffs are those two
are going to put together? Like I I don't know, man,
Look this is this is these are feastoms. And if
(20:07):
you know, the guy running that village wants to do
something that seemingly no sound football person would do, there's
no way to stop them. So I I part of me,
the common sense part of me, is like, some of
this is just travel and some of this is just grandstanding.
(20:29):
And then if beyond ride General white Horse, it's going
to be even more. You know, look at us, I
fool they all, but I don't know, man, like like
I don't know, my god, Yeah, good luck, good.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Luck now Hope now my hometown.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
They make the big splash Jason as they go and
they get Ben Johnson in reported thirteen million dollars a year.
The hard knocks they did with the Bear stunk. I
want to see the inner workings of this and the
pitch they made to McCaskey to spend the money.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Yeah, look, they they've got the quarterbacks. He knows that Demons,
you know, pretty well for preparing to face them twice
a year. He also knows the best team in the
division really well for leading their offense with the pest
a few years. So it makes a lot of sense
in that regard. He was going to take a job
(21:35):
this year. He changed agents a while back, and you know,
I think his mindset had changed a little bit. This
was he was taking, in all likelihood a job whether
you know they won a Super Bowl or you know,
went out the first round. So I don't think there
is an influence at all by how this season ended.
This is already headed towards that track. And you know,
(21:59):
his representation, Rick Smith put together that thing in Detroit.
Nobody wanted to go to Detroit coming out of the
dregs of you know, Matt Patricia and all that, and
nobody's won in Detroit forever, and nobody took Detroit seriously
and Ben Johnson was part of a thing there that
turned Detroit around. So I have serious reservations about Ryan
(22:23):
Poles as the general manager. But Ryan Poles is the
guy to be able to build that offensive line out
the way it needs to be built, and we'll see
how long you know that part of the marriage last.
I would think Ryan Poles, you know, better have one
hell of an offseason because if they don't, how are
you going to let him keep picking players for this
young head coach. I just don't think that's going to happen. So,
(22:46):
you know, good luck with this free agent class is
not a whole lot out there, so they're gonna have
to draft, well, they're gonna have to manipulate the draft
board and maybe move around a little bit. We'll see.
But you know, if you're Ben Jonson and you don't
want to deal with the chaos and craziness of the Jets, sorry,
(23:06):
and you don't want to go to New Orleans where
they're in salary cap hell, and they've got to gut
that thing still, And even though it's you know, a
somewhat weak division. There's not great talent there, and there's
no real great easy road to a quarterback Jacksonville. They've
been trying to hire him there for you know whatever,
(23:28):
they've wanted him in the past. Like, I just I
don't think he wants anything to do with that situation.
And the Raiders don't have a road to a quarterback.
So yeah, if you were going to take one this
time around of the ones that are out there, that's
a pretty good that's a pretty good one to take.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I think, Jason looking for our guest Jason Smith Mike
Carmon Live from the tirec dot Com studios. All right,
speaking of now off season, I can only imagine what
the last thirty six hours have been for you in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Is it all Lamar's fault? Is it all Mark Andrews's fault? Like, like,
what's what's not all Lamar's fault?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yeah, I mean I don't know. You have to be
on a different planet to think of you.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
No, I mean, what are people saying, no, no, no, Like,
what are people saying all Lamar can't come through?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Is it all Mark andrew roped the ball? Like? What
is it? What is it there?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Well, I mean I think it is. It's it's just
sort of consternation and confusion. Like the defense which last year,
not in twenty twenty four, but the twenty twenty two season,
you know, became the first in NFL history to lead
the league and points allowed, fact takeaways in Lamar, Like
(24:37):
in Lamar Jackson's playoff history, they created two turnovers. Like
so we can talk about early in Lamar's career when
he turned it over, but they have created two turnovers
in the entirety of his playoff existence. But how is that, like,
how is it possible? Like that just seems somewhat impossible.
And Lamar, whose first half wasn't is you know, wasn't
(25:00):
deal buck in half was unbelievable. But Lamar has two
turnovers for the first time in the AFC Championship game less,
and he does it all in the first half of
the game. And again, he hadn't done it to the
Chiefs game a year ago. It's just it's hard to secure.
Mark Andrews has been one of their most productive offensive
(25:24):
players in the regular season in the history of their organization.
He's been a joke in the playoffs, and it's not
just this game. I mean, you can look at any
metric to evaluate him regular season to postseason. He's not
the same guy. Got a twenty percent drop rate in
the playoffs, like he's got a five percent to operate
in the regular season. He's never had a playoff touchdown,
(25:44):
and he was a huge player at the first game
where he went over fifty yards receiving with Lamar in
a playoff game, and nobody's going to remember that. They remember,
you know, the two drops in the fumble. So I
think it's it's trying to make sensive of all that
of why a team an average seven point three yards
of play pulled Josh Allen one hundred and forty seven
total yards and four point six yards of play as
(26:06):
an offense produced one hundred and fifty yards more than
the other team on the road in average conditions and
still lose. It's it's it's, you know, it's kind of
tough to sort out. It's another game where they didn't
run the ball in the ways that a lot of
people thought they would have should have, and they didn't
run it ultimately with the volume that a lot of
(26:28):
people would say they should have. Lamar's legs not being
activated at all on a single design run for Lamar
pretty bizarre. And so you know, they're really good at
finding ways to lose in the playoffs and they're not
good enough for finding ways to win.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
So when we talk again next week, Jason Locking for
Washington Post one five seven the Fan, Aaron Baltimore, who
are we talking about for two weeks?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And what storylines are we following to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I mean, Patch Mahomes is sixteen and three in the playoffs,
so I'm not betting against him, you know. And are
the Bills going to turn them over three times? Because
I'm old enough to remember like around week nine when
Patrick Mahonmes was leading the league and in the substance,
and I don't be unthrown one. They haven't turn the
ball over, I don't think since that game against the Bill,
(27:20):
So I don't think they're handing this away. That's not
what they do. And that Bills defense, to me, is
really reliant on takeaways. And if the safeties are beat up,
I mean Baltimore had throw the ball and Migle Field
all they wanted. They were split in the safeties and
you know Raps banged up the nickel guys banged up. Now.
(27:41):
I don't know, man, I don't think they're beating the
Chiefs and Narrowhead and then the other one.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Man.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
I'm not betting against Jayan Daniels. I mean, I think
they can come out with an early game script, take
an early lead, get the Eagles a little jittery, get
those fans. Maybe turning on the Eagles forced the Eagle
to open it up more than maybe they'd like, Like
they'd just like to run, say Calon Barkley thirty times
and you know, win that game nine to seven if
(28:08):
they had to. But I don't think that's going to
be in the cards. I don't know. I mean, I
know that they're not going to blitz like crazy like
they did the last game against Washington. But still that
happened this kid through five touchdown passes on Vick Fangio's defense.
You can't tell me that's not in their heads a
little bit. Knowing to Kobe Dean, I think is going
to be a problem. How healthy is Jayden Hirts? Like,
(28:29):
are we buying that he's anything close to healthy?
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Like?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
I don't think he is. You're gonna practice this week?
I'm not so sure, you know, and you got Kuna
Mitchell banged up. You got a few people all banged
up in their secondary. I take Washington and I know
rookie quarterbacks in the Agency championship game. This is where
the story generally dies. But I'm not sure that this
kid done fucking conventional wisdom. Yet.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
He's on Twitter at Jason lock and fora that is
at Jason Locke and fora All Washington Post one five seven.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
J as always buddy, appreciated man. We'll talk to you
next week after the games.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
My pleasure. Guys, have a great week.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Be good, buddy, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
There goes Jason Locking for I mean, yeah, I mean
look that he's right in that.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Okay, Hey, Usually this is.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Where we get to the end of a big run,
a magical run, because one great player against a great team. Generally,
the great team wins. Except that absolutely did not happen
last week, and the Lions are home because of it,
and especially now this week.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Like I felt worse about.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
The Commanders last week than they do about them this week.
I felt worse about them last week. They're not gonna win.
They win Now I feel really good about them because
the Eagles have all kinds of injury issues and yeah,
Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I mean he couldn't move like he could. Well, you
saw the last last quarter of that game. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
His post game, he's standing there with Saquon Barkley and
they ask him about his injury.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
He goes, I finished the game. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Oh, and like very tersely, like asks something else. Yeah,
I finished the game.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I mean who I mean, get ready, Roger Warsk he
could be coming in for a lot of this game.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Ooh, nicely done. Hurts gets hurt man, I'll tell you
the Jason Smithson tirect dot com Studios. Oh yeah, yeah,
I think you.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I mean I think he's actually going to be at
the stadium and if something happens, they give him the
ghost sign and he gets and he gets dressed and
he goes down and comes out.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Of the half time. Hey everybody, how you doing? Hey
it's good.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Time Now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. From special delivery Steve de Sager. He
was the one who told the voter, hey, don't vote
for each your row. I really don't think he's a
Hall of Famer.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
My goodness, who was that for?
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Credl As I mentioned on the previous show, I'm a
fan of the sport and of the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
You owe me an explanation for this, whoever.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You are again, I want to say, as soon as
it came out, I texted Rob Parker.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You voted for Eachiro? He told me, yes, so it's
not Rob Parker.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Now.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Rob's big thing was how are people voting for ten
people for.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
The whole of tame?
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Yeah, you know, legitimate question, some misselle. You're allowed to,
You are allowed to. Some voters today literally set out loud.
They did so only because they don't want some guys
to fall off the ballot, you know, getting under five
percent of the vote, they would automatically be off and.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Not considered for the ten years.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
And they want more discussion at least on Brian McCann
or whoever into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Eachiro Suzuki, C. C. Sabathia,
and Billy Wagner. Eachiro, mostly with the Mariners, had over
three thousand hits in the majors and five hundred stolen bases,
and won a Gold Glove in each of his first
ten years with Seattle. The vote was nearly unanimous for Suzuki,
(31:52):
just one vote.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Shy.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
By the way, you were talking football, no rookie quarterback
has ever started a Super Bowl. Rookies in conference championshi
are zero and five, including the losses by Mark Sanchez
and Joe Flacco years ago, or brock Perty who started
and of course didn't finish in recent years. But The
NFC Championship game is on Fox TV Sunday, three pm
Eastern Time, Washington at Philadelphia. They split their two regular
(32:16):
season meetings. Then the AFC Title Game is Sunday, Buffalo
at Kansas City. The Bills beat them in Buffalo in November.
The Chiefs had been nine to zero until then. This
is their fourth playoff meeting in the last five years,
and Kansas City's won the previous three. The New York
Jets talked to Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn again today
and they're trying to finalize the deal. Glenn reportedly has
(32:39):
an offer. Dallas interviewed its offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for
its head coach opening. The Cowboys have already interviewed Kellen Moore,
Robert Sola, Leslie Fraser. The Patriots are hiring Josh McDaniels
as offensive coordinator for new head coach Mike Frable. New
England spoke with McDaniels today. By the way, New Orleans,
due to bad weather, rescheduled its interviews. Temperatures in the
(33:00):
twenties there tonight and some snow.
Speaker 7 (33:03):
New Orleans is going to.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Be hosting the Super Bowl in two and a half weeks,
but they say the temperature will be in the sixties
in a couple weeks when the media and the teams
are there for the week. The Vikings today gave head
coach Kevin O'Connell a contract extension to the NBA. The
Knicks won ninety nine to ninety five at Brooklyn Karl
Anthony Towns twenty five points sixteen rebounds. At Toronto, the
Raptors were trailing Orlando in the first quarter thirty two
(33:26):
to eleven, and still came back to beat the Magic
one oh nine ninety three, Portland one at Miami won
sixteen one oh seven. There are two late games. Lakers
about to start at home against Washington, which has lost
ten in a row. Philadelphia has dropped six in a row,
and they're losing at Denver early second quarter forty three
to thirty two. Kawhi Leonard of the Clippers will miss
(33:47):
a second straight game tomorrow due to his bad knee,
and Cleveland's Evan Mobley will miss a third straight game
tomorrow due to a strained calf. Upset in college hoops,
Ohio State came back to win at number eleven per
Due Yukon in overtime edge Butler. Currently, Arizona State is
leading at number twenty three West Virginia forty eight to
forty eight.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Somebody didn't know how to spell eagles, Like that was
a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
You know, spell eagles. I could do it.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon,
Live from the Tirech dot Com Studios. Now, we had
a pesky thing called the National Championship Game last night
in college football.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
But now we're free and clear.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
We're free and clear of that now, so now we
can get into the ongoing drama.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
That is the Mayor of Philadelphia this weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
It's something that really just started to hit the mainstream
in the last few hours.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
The mayor of Philadelphia, Charrelle Parker.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Is catching a lot of heat for a pregame Eagles
chant she tried to lead before their playoff game on Sunday.
Now she has since you sort of apologize for this,
but you know what, in case you don't know what
we're talking about, let's just play it for you. Here
is the mayor trying to psych up the crowd a
little press conference, get everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Ready for the Eagles game on Sunday against the Rams.
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Hey, ow, g.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yes, let's go Birds, guys.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Let's give her one more chance.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Oh do you hear the chance to spell Eagles? Right?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
This is the mayor of Philadelphia. I understand another chance
of that because the e E A g l e
S is the Eagles chant, right like J E T
S E A G L e S Eagles.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Let's let's give it another chance to get it right.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
Hey, ow.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yes, fo.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Really E E L G S L E S that's
el Giles. Yeah, I don't understand. Now, hang on, she's
worse because at least Tony Richardson got the first three letters.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Like he just went landing.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Okay, yeah, but okay j E T. It should just
be an S. But he did j E T. He
got the first three letters right, she bifted on the
second letter.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
She said that someone might have held up the card
that had the wrong thing. I mean, there might have
been a bunch of people, you know, like you know
when you paint your chest and you're supposed to stand
in a line and you do it wrong.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Maybe that was what happened here. I need a starting
at people in the crowd. I need a card to
tell me how to spell eagles. I need a card.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
No, no, no, I'm not saying you do when I'm saying,
maybe you were looking out and that's how they were arranged.
They had two l's even supposed to be an A
and he should think somewhere and he screwed me.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Instead of with somebody holding an E, someone holding an A,
someone holding a G, it was someone holding an E.
Then the next person was holding an L, the next
person holding a G. The next person was an S,
then an L. Then even if they get the letters
around and they spelled gales or something like that, all
I know is she took me. Now, she did have
a fun comment today.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
She was.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
She actually talked about today in the Pursuit of perfection
as part of a press conference. She goes, listen, you
know none of us are ever perfect. That we keep
striving for it, which is great. I know about perfection
since I didn't know how to spell eagles the other day.
But like this is this is like, this is not
like e G L E S. Like, oh, I forgot
the A, you know, this is not all I forgot
(38:29):
the A or I forgot the GA.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
You know I missed a letter.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
This was I'm putting the wrong letter second, and then
I'm putting an S as the fourth. That are like,
I'm missing like four letters here in this. I'm like,
of the slots you can get eagles wrong, she's missing
like four of them.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Hey man, this is like being on Wheel of Fortune
and you just have something in your head and it
goes haywire.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, look at this epic fail on Wheel
of Fortune from last night.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
This is way worse, way worse.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
You know, because part of me thinks, not that I'm
conspiracy theory, but boy, you know, every week or so
to keep Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy in the news,
like there's a story of somebody who really has a
horrible epic fail to a question that gains a lot
of viral attention.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
I wonder, is that one hundred percent legit?
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Is? That?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Is that biffing of it? One hundred percent legit? Really?
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Well, like this happens and it helps to prove the
point Frostbert was trying to make over a week ago.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Oh yeah, Jason thought I was kidding.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Oh no, no, no, you said nobody could read her, right, No,
I know, for you, clearly.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
She needs to read that aj Brown book or maybe
to start a little bit you know, lower at that.
But uh you thet Yeah, because maybe because Elgasis that
sounds like a name from Lord of the.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Rings, like like we're going to Elvis is battling Sniegel
in a prequel. Yes, I think you just invoked something
from the Fifth Ring of Hell e L.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
I mean, I don't know how that's what you get
out of it.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I know it was really cold.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I think you remembers that I have the shit, But wow, man,
I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I don't understand it. I don't understand how that's how
you bit that so badly.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
You know, we all have a bad day, bad moment,
and maybe it got some extra attention for some of
the pet projects because people were curious how she would
respond so Kensington Wellness Court, and it helped get some
extra attention on it.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
So you think maybe, like when when people throw a
bad first pitch on purpose because it will gain notoriety
on the you look at the first pitch that Fitty
sent through, look at the first pitch so and so through,
because people will pay more attention if you just throw
it over the middle of the plate. So you think
maybe this could have been This could have been one
of those Hey, I misspelled it, but I didn't really.
Now you're paying attention to me, and I want to
talk about rolling out my economic plan for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
No, no, no, I think it was terribly botched. And
then what do you do when you break a few eggs? Hey,
we got an extra vegetables in there and maybe some
leftover ham or something, so I can make an omelet.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Yeah, that's what we did here.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Hey, I've got to go to this unveiling of a
wellness court and thing to help support people, maybe get
treatment instead of jail. Here's how I can make the
best out of my bad situation.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Hashtag Elgis's Elvis, elgas'sag Elgis.
Speaker 5 (41:22):
She's holding Karen Bouss's beers.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Oh, I tell you Frostburg off the top row?
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Coming up next, something we haven't gotten to about today's
Hall of Fame voting and wife, you didn't get in
the Hall of Fame as a baseball player, don't worry.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
You'll get in at some point. That's next, Fox
