Look at game off, elimination day.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Don't put, don't say what hasn't happened yet, because if
that doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Happen, I'm blaming you.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And I'm gonna burn the white Sox hat that's on
your head, except I'm gonna do it while you're wearing it,
so your head is gonna go up in flames. I
have been called the heat miser. Before it's all good.
You would't look very much heat miser, so very much
shut I'm bump, bump.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I can do that.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Stroll out through the hallway too, while my head's on fire.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Here's where things sit right now, twenty five seconds left
in Game five, the Knicks trying to send it to
Game six. They lead the Heat one oh nine to
one oh three. They also have the basketball following a
miss three by the Heat. So it looks like and
I say looks like because it is the Knicks. The
(02:08):
Knicks could be I'm not gonna say yet, but the
Knicks could be back they could. They were never back,
well be back, No, they were gone. Now they were
going Frostburg, So that means they could be back. They
at least you've gone homes for a while. I mean,
I do like that.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
We got John Starks hanging alongside the Jonas Brothers, court
size everybody, and suddenly everybody wants to be at the
Knicks games.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Now everybody there, any.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Jimmy Butler, Mike stop, they're here to watch Jalen Brunson
and his thirty eight points, eight rebounds and seven has
since go.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
New York, Go New York, Go, Go New York, Go,
New York Go.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
It's so exciting. The Knicks could be back. And another
twenty one point three seconds to any one point three seconds.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Three hours, fifteen minutes left on this fantastic voyage.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
They keep saying Robinson back to the nice Robinson back
to the line, and thus far.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Four of eight.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, yeah, the hack of Robinson. He missed one, but
they started that with about five minutes left here. Yes,
but Julius Randall with the rebound after a Mitchell Robinson miss,
making a nine point lead for the Knicks.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
That was one of the laziest rebounding efforts from a
team desperate to try to get back into a game
I've ever seen, and.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's gonna be it.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The Knicks are gonna win this game one twelve to
one oh three.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
The Knicks are back. Go New York, Go New York.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Coat and you know what, New York go as soon
as that Laker game doesn't matter, Go New York.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, but that's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Now, Go New York, inevitable, Go New York live to
see him one more day.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He wait till we.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Sweep you in the finals. Frostburg Knicks Lakers. It's happening, man,
it's happening.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Go New York, Go New York.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Go New York's happening. Like the Mets going on win streak.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
We've won one in a row. It's all good.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Uh, that is the big final right there, one twelve,
one oh three. The Knicks will play again. They will
go back to Game six in Miami. Jalen Brunson with
thirty eight, R. J. Barrett with twenty six, Julius Randall
twenty four, five and one, and the one is a
big black guy he got getting elbowed earlier in the game.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The viral exploits of what his eye looked like at
the beginning of this was absolutely insane.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So there's your night.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You got Brunson hugging John Starks right now, Starks saying,
remember when I went four for seventeen in Game seven
against the against the Rockets.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Man, you can't do that in the next game. So
the Nix is going to bring up any of his futility.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He's a mixture. To tell you about the four he made.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Go New York, Go New York, Go, Go New York,
Go New York, go, got going or going?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
All right?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Good, look, only eight points off the bench for the Knicks,
but they did get six rebounds from Hartenstein.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
He had four points. And the big big I mean,
just think about this for a second, the biggest hoop
of the Nick the knixer up by two, trying to
hold on to a lead late. They led by nineteen
at one point. But you you know, it's the Knicks
and it's the NBA. See you're gonna yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
In theory, you're either getting a run or you're getting
someone symbolically waving a white, white towel somewhere.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He's just a whether you get to see it on
the screen or now.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
So things are getting really tight. I'm not too happy
as we're watching the game. No, and it's it's a
seven point lead, and a four point lead, and a
three point lead, and a five point lead. Then it
gets down to two and now I'm feeling Okay, this
is not good. This is not good. And the Knicks
take it all the way down to the end of
the shot clock.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
RJ.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Barrett goes in for a layup, he misses high, but
Isaiah Hartenstein goes in for the follow up jam. The
biggest bucket of the year for the Knicks, and it's
Isaiah Hartenstein who makes it. He is Thelannie Walker so
far off tonight, except the only had two points instead
in the fourth quarter instead of like fifteen. But the
biggest bucket of the season. If I could, I could
(05:51):
a point to anybody, Hey, who's gonna score the biggest
Nicks bucket of the season? Jason, I would say, Well,
it's gonna be Brunson. No, well it's gonna be Randall.
No it would be Barrett. No, oh, it'll be uh
A quickly off the bench. No, it'll be Obi Toppin. No,
who's it gonna be it's gonna be Isaiah Hartenstein. Oh well, okay,
then quickly still not available. You got eighty eight points
between your big three, including your monster effort from Jalen
(06:16):
Bronson thirty eight. As you said, four of ten from three,
your guy Julius Randall. You want to talk about someone
bre exhaling very loudly. You can almost hear it, even
though we have no sound on from these monitors in
the studio. When they showed him getting ready to hug
his kid and then walk off the court, might be
(06:36):
the most relieved guy leaving Madison Square Garden today.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
We got that one done, all right. We lived to
see another day. A lot of excitement. He got all
the luminaries there, but a huge game, and when it
came to crunch time, yeah, you went to the hakka.
Whoever was nearby h and that that happened about a
halfway through the fourth quarter, and they they stayed composed.
(07:01):
You had a couple of runs where wide open Robinson
on the other end, or or Jimmy Butler with a bucket.
Kyle Lowry hit a couple of big threes, but they
never were able to overcome that gap right close it
down to two, and then it extended back out and
a couple of bad bad shots selection with the game
(07:23):
still on the line, and then you close out. So congratulations,
Lakers Warriors are getting ready to start a good nine minutes.
It was good except for the go New York, New York.
(07:43):
I mean you need to have eight other people behind
you to really we need a cacophony of voices to
make that work.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Go New York, Go New York, Go, Go New York,
Go New York Go.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I didn't mean that you need to start whispering it
like you were a crowd. I could just do it
short towing it. I could do it in different voices.
How can do it like Roy Kent, Go New York,
Go New York. Do that like e F and go
and then have a tight shirt, layer them together.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So it's a a symphony.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Sure, I could do it like Rage against the Machine,
New York with a pocket fool that could have done.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It like Hall of Famers.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, well look the next there'll be Hall of Famers
when they come back from three to one New York.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
You know, we talked about it the other night. Only
five percent of teams able to do that in the
history of the NBA playoffs, Nicks get one to stay
alive tonight, and now we'll see if the Warriors can
match and keep this series go and force it back
to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Mike, five percent for Jason is like winning the lottery.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Well, I mean, my team usually an acceptable rate of error,
right the plus or minus when we're looking at polling
questions and election results and all of those kind of things,
margin of error three to five percent, so usually acceptable rate.
But in this case, it's you got five percent chance
to win the series, and and you slammed the table,
(09:06):
and you say you're saying, there's a.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Chance, go New York.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Never tell me the odds, go New York, Go New York.
I went to, Yeah you did, but go New York.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The liberty chant Uh no, that's liberty, liberty games, Liberty.
Oh I thought you met, like the liberty commercials. Liberty Liberty.
That's not a sponsor. No, but not a sponsor. You
mean the New York Liberty I don't know what they
sing it, the New York Liberty games. Think the song
that you're singing, the horrible song you're saying.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
They might also have some kind of chance specific to
an opponent that we can't say on air.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Back in the New York.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm back back in the New York groove, but.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I'm back. Wow.

(10:08):
The Lakers and Warriors are seconds away. But look, let
me just say this about the Knicks and the Heat. Well,
you can't anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
The balls Jason Ball there you you're running for your life.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Next are done?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Man, I'm shooting. No, what's happening? No?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
The are we playing war Association karaoke tonight?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Is that? Is that what Wenzay has become here?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I'll be honest. This is not a great series. Neither
team is playing great. I mean that's kind of where
we are right now in the NBA playoffs where sometimes
you just get series like that because look this Knicks
heat that the Heat have not played well and they're
up three to two. The Knicks have just played a
little bit worse than the Heat, so they're down three
to two. That's kind of what this series has been.
(10:53):
But tonight what's happened is a guy that doesn't get
enough credit that continues to get a bigger and bigger
slice of the pie every day we go on. Is
Jalen Brunson?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Now?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Does he look like a bleeping bargain? At four years
and one hundred million dollars?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
You get Jalen Brunton for you? What are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh wait a minute, that's the biggest bargain of all
that's the biggest free agent signing in years in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Okay, wait, the guy came and totally redid the culture
and was a guy that said I'm not gonna let
us lose. Oh yeah, suddenly he's an absolute bargain at
four years and one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Also, just recognizing the cost of doing business. We do
this every time a quarterback gets signed and people don't
like it. Team decided they were worth the money. And
I'm looking squarely going back to New York and looking
at Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You may not like it. They think there's something more
in the tank.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
So they're paying ahead for what may become a better
offense and more prolific offense.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Can he be that guy? I don't know, but they're
paying for it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Likewise, bringing in Jalen Brunson, you go to New York,
you know you gotta pay the piper because we're talking
about the New York tax when it comes to the
actual state income tax there, so you might have to
do a bit of an overpay. But you're also looking
to shake things up, which means you're coming over the
top of any offer, which means Dallas really didn't get
(12:11):
a seat at the table from all we're told. Dad
being there as part of the step. That certainly doesn't
hurt Rick Bronson, of course. But the idea is that
where are you finding juice in this NBA. It's not
a center driven league?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Right?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
You got very few guys that truly hit free agency
without a bunch of strengths. Because most of your big
guys that have moved around, what did they do? They
decided they hated the team they were with and then
they force a trade, as opposed to I'm actually in
free agency and we'll listen to offers and we'll choose
the place that makes the most sense. Bought into Thibadeau's philosophy,
(12:50):
came in, worked with Derek Rose, a guy who I
think needs more credit for what he'd been. Hasn't been
able to be on the court, and that's fine, he's
at that part of his NBA life cycle. But he's
a guy that's Thibodeau's right hand man and one of
those guys that was helping to try to figure out
what the culture of this squad needed to be. Brunson
comes in and you've had many games like tonight where
(13:12):
he's carrying him. Julius Randall, Third Team All NBA. Love
him or hate him, the guy put up numbers for
the season and in the playoffs. Yeah, there's big efforts
that he gives you and sometimes disappearing acts. Guess what.
That's the rest of the NBA. But you go four
for one hundred, It's it's a bargain because look where
the market's headed. If you've got a point guard that
(13:33):
can run things and can still put up thirty five
points on you while running the show, we don't have
a lot of guys that do both very well. I
have some initials for you.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
G n Y g n YG go New York, New

Speaker 2 (13:55):

What'd you put in here? It's like, did you just

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Ah man, that escalated quickly. Wow, that was what people
tell you guys. Punched in the face. My eyes are watering.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, I said to sneeze a lot. Wow, man, what
was what did bo Jackson do to get rid of hiccups?
What was that? He was having some kind of surgery?
Should I should I try that here for the hicck,
for the sneeze.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I'm sure someone will pretend to be a doctor cut
your throat.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
How was nobody gone and scared him?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I gotta think people well, because first of all, he's
still a big dude. Dear bow, would you like to
go to Hollywood or Horror.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Nights with me?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
They said, that's how you cure hiccups.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
You scare you scare somebody, not scary farm. I mean,
come on, you scare somebody and you hold your breath.
Go trick or.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Treat, you know at the Disney thing. I mean we
go to any of the theme parks, they'll take carry in.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Put a Mets box scren in front of him.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Stop.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I mean, like ten months that supposedly bo Jackson's been
was dealing with a bad case of hiccups, all these
crazy things to try to do it. I just keep
thinking of that mind from the Simpsons when they go
and coming up next, we're going to meet somebody who's
been hiccupping for fifteen years. He goes, kill me, kill me,
kill me, kill me, kill me. But man, ten months
of hiccups, you I can't, I can't. I go and
(16:17):
I want to bang my head against a wow.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I mean, how do you sleep? Do you hiccup in
your sleeps too? I guess I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I mean that's worse than sleep athnea at that point, man,
that was that's rough. Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
First quarter things are starting to get a little bit
underfoot for the Lakers. They were getting boat raced out
of the gate by the Warriors. Draymond Green was on
his way to an eighty two point game. Uh, he's
got eight, but the Lakers have now cut the lead
to eight themselves. Warriors were up big now twenty one
to thirteen Lakers at the free throw line, Draymond leading
(16:51):
the way with eight. Meanwhile for the Lakers, a d
with seven as he tries to edd his total already
with just under five minutes to go in the first quarter.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Impress start for Dreymonder.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
He got called for a file about seven seconds into
the game as they got the ball down to Anthony Davis.
But aggressive on the offensive end, and we've seen that
a couple of times during the playoffs. That's what you're expecting,
so that becomes the bonus as the Warriors try to
figure out it. Certainly, late game situations is what we're
all waiting to see, but we'll also for the Warriors,
(17:23):
they'd like to see if they can get away from
having to make any of those decisions late. See if
they can get a blowout situation here, get Jordan Poole
heating up and become a bigger factor in the offense.
But Wiggins hit a big shot early. So a little
bit of the secondary characters in this play coming up
big for the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
So we'll keep you updated here.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Lakens have just cut it to five, make it twenty
one to sixteen. Steve Kerr not exactly what Steve Kerr
had in mind. Austin Reeves steals a rebound away underneath
from Steph Curry. He finds Antony the Davis opened for
the jam, and now it's a five point. It looked
like it was going to be over before we got
to the end off.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
You're going to say he was too small, that he
didn't have enough strength to keep that.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I gotta save that till after the game. But people
just don't like the truth about Steph.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Did you see that guy that sneaked into the building
pretending he was Austin Reeves. No, he kind of looked
like him into our building. No, he in the stadium
went through security. Yeah, you know, because I can see
Frostburg coming. Hey, this is Austin Reece Frostburg. That's not
Austin Reeves.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
No, it's Austin Reeves. Is anyway, he's in here with us.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's actually Megan.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Mark Hell not it's markle Is it with Steve marsh
and all that stuff from the Coron.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
H correcting me. I think it's Markle. It's the Grim Reaper, Billy,
It's the grim Northwestern product. Grim Reaper is a Northwestern product.
That too, Oh, that's Mark hel. The Jason Smith Show
is my best friend, Mike Carmen. Tonight's show brought to
you by a Discover. At the end of your first year,
Discover credit cards automatically double all the cash back here
and that's right, everything you earned is doubled. Seriously see terms.
(19:04):
Check it out for yourself at Discover dot com. Slash
Matt Jason. The only thing that you know about a
Royal is with cheese Royal, and they beat us in
the World Series in twenty fifteen. So there's that valid point.
But Verlander's back. Go New York, Go, New York Go.
So today was a big day in the NFL because
we got the appetizer for the big schedule release day,
(19:27):
which is tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I thought this kind of sucked. Well No, no, I.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Liked it because it shows that the NFL is just saying,
we're crazy, man, We'll do anything we want to do.
Tomorrow we get the full schedule. Now we're going to
get it right. We're good there's not gonna be any
because there was talk this week, hey.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
We may not get it.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Oh no, we're getting We're gonna get it right.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
At this point, they've made Jeff Bezos happy, like they
made him happy with the games.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
He's gonna get enough because look, with all of the
ability to do for a free for all and the fighting,
that's what I want. I don't care about war rooms
for the draft and who's got their dog making picks
or whatever else. I want the fight between the network executives.
We want that game right, because the regular season is
not holding to the old form of AFC, NFC.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You give me those games Thursday night, or I'll buy
the NFL and I will put all the games on Amazon.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
But that's it, right, And with the flexible schedule becoming
a bigger and bigger thing, it's it's not as much
of an issue out of the jump.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Now, but it but it's now, it's all the old
rules are gone because now we know, as you said, tomorrow,
all the what is that gonna be on CBS, it's
gonna wait, We're gonna be on Fox.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
We're on it.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Because none of that happened matters anymore. There's no more
conference line up with CBS like the AFC has been
on forever, the NFC with Fox, all that jets will
be on Comedy Central and we got stop just stop prostpuring.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
You sound so desperate, man, You sounds so deferently.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
And that was funny. He sounds America's laughing. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
We we we get.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
The holidays, the holiday holiday holiday, Holliday, and I'd like
to be able to do the holiday holiday holiday in May.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
It's pretty cool, it's good holiday. We should do it
every day.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I mean Alvis saying about why can't every day be
like Christmas?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I feel, look christ holiday, holiday, holiday holiday. We find
out who's playing on Black Friday. We find out who's
playing on Christmas and how many games they are going
to be, who's playing the international games? Where do you
want to start first? Black Friday? Christmas?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Or I think the international ones are the ones you
can slough off. There's not a whole lot of debate.
But here's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Here's the thing, this is what Let me just say this,
I'd be the internationals for a second. Yeah, I don't
look at this. I don't look at the international games
as a football fan, because as a football fan, unless
my team is playing, it's just kind of met right.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
They don't move the needle.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
No one really spends a lot of time, yes, because
they're not here in La or on the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
They're on at six thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
You really gotta love getting up early to watch the
Jaguars and the Commanders, right, I mean, you gotta really.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Jaguars now thought it right, everybody's gonna tell you the
Jaguars matter.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
These games are gonna be big deal.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
You gotta love waking up early to see the Titans
and the Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
You know what, That Titans Ravens game. That's that's my
fiftieth birthday. I may try it over the walk and
to go watch that one. To go see a game
of two teams that you don't care about.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I'm gonna why are here because I don't care if
I get drunk and miss the game because I don't
like either of these teams.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Now, the week before is Ozzie and a CDC together
out in the desert. Here. We're all gonna go. We
may never make it back. No, you're not, my kids,
promise me. Don't get me back.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
No, that's gonna be like that's gonna be like the
worst outtakes of the hangover, your kids trying to get
you back from a concert in the desert.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
You don't want to be a part of it. You do,
I'll get a block and you know who's in you
know what?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Chip yourself. Make sure you're chipped like a phone, so
wherever you are we can kind of find you.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oh, I might have an ankle bracelet. You don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
He's at the bottom of the sarlac. Can we get
him out? Nah, just like Boba Fett. Let him shoot
his way out. We'll see you in a little Mike.
Is that the one with Metallica? Yes, my kids want
to go see Hazi. Did you see Metallica and jewel tool?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Jewels?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
He might be andj Someone will have to to save
Mike harmon soul. She'll say at some point, who will
save your soul?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
In the background.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
No, But here's here's the here's the thing about the
international games. As a football fan, I could take her
leave them right. They're just games that don't matter. Right
on a big NFL Sunday, it doesn't matter if my story,
my team is playing. But as a fantasy player, which
almost all of us are, I hate these bleeping games man.
So because if I have guys playing who are quick,
because you don't know what happens when they get over
(23:40):
to London or Germany. Crazy ass stuff happens. You don't
know what happens. Oh he's gonna play, he's not. Oh
it's good, he's on the plane. But then a guy's
on the plane, you gotta worry about how his ankle
is going to respond to.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Treatment exactly, clarify about ankle or whatever I supposed to.
I mean, you go to London or Germany, crazy stuff happened.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I saw hard days night. This stuff happens.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
He was on the Thames revun last night, and I
don't know where he is. I think he's in Amsterdam
as a red.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Bike trying to he's trying to find a windaw No, you.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Know, you don't know, and you gotta wake and so
you gotta set your line up three and a half
hours before everything else is in.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Do I play this guy? Do I not? Is he
gonna play? How effective is he?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Because generally the games are completely unpredictable and all the
all the points are lower all the points are lower, right,
you don't get anybody goes over go boy, if this
game was in the States, and I mean, would you
stop trying up and let me talk, because the continental
United States you have a better idea of how the
game is gonna go.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
But in England and Germany you don't.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Man Frostburg, Now, don't ask me what question about fantasy advice.
Fantasy advice. Ask me again, don't say, hey, what do
I do it now? Because I ain't doing it because
I remember this conversation, this moment in time. You're like,
play the sad music in the corner. Can't you can't
(25:06):
just be quiet? Watch the Lakers. They cut it to four.
Watch the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And that has nothing to do with that. We're talking
about nothing to do. Okay, let me stop right there.
The Mets suck. As a fantasy owner, I can't stand
these games.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I'm like, I just hope I don't have anybody going
and someone that I have to play, because that generally,
look at the fantasy points games, they just they're they're flatter,
they're more defensive games. You don't get the big offensive
firepower you get because of the travel the jet leg
coming out flat for a game. I hate the fantasy owner.
I hate these games. I want none of my guys
to play in these games. It's why would I draft
(25:39):
a jack Horse player?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I don't know. Because eight times they're playing in London.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Do you feel better about the fact that they're gonna
play those back to back weeks? First week you got
the Falcons, that's gonna be at Wembley Stadium, and then
they play the Bills the following week. So they're just
gonna stay there at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
They should stay there forever.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Well, eventually expansion is coming, just like we were talking
about yesterday, the eventual Mexico team for Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Well, listen, that's the next That's the serious point that's
outside of Hey for fantasy fans, it's ridiculous and it
sucks and I hate it. But what this is happening
now is this eventually, Yes, it's setting the stage to
have a team over there. Every year they play a
few more games, a few more games, a few more games,
and a lot of the travel is sort of like
(26:27):
if you're flying east coast to west coast, you will
see some teams come and they're gonna stay in the
States for a week and play. It's going to happen
at some point, but it's still a ways away. You're
at the point now where it's okay, it's six games
a year. We're gonna get to seven, eight, We're gonna
put more games in there. And then eventually, I would
say probably when the next commissioner comes in. It's either
(26:48):
gonna be the last thing Roger Goodell does or the
first thing the next commissioner does is going to be
we now have a team in Europe because now you
have to be able to have someone come in pay
the money. We have to have thirty three teams talking
about imbalance scheduling. How is that gonna go? Are we
gonna have two expansion teams? Are we gonna get to
thirty four? That's what's going to happen, And that's that's
(27:08):
when it's going to get that expansion. It's we're just
keep going slower and slowly, more towards it, more towards it,
more towards it, more towards it, and we're gonna get that.
I mean, it'll be the last year, the last thing
Roger Goodell got. So that's the last thing he does.
Feather in his cap as he walks away, or the
first thing a commissioner new commissioner comes in to do, say,
I want to put my imprint on the game, and
(27:28):
I'm gonna do this right now. Like an owner who
buys a team that's itching to spend money on a
star player. That's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I think when you look at Goodell's legacy and checkered
as it is with some of the decisions, you easily
point to the economic powerhouse and the growth expansion of
the National Football League and what they've been able to
do internationally, and the demand for tickets and how quickly
those games sell out. We watch it every year, and
the complaining more so than a Taylor Swift tour in
(27:57):
terms of being locked out and not being able to
go and procure your allotment. People from the States that
are trying to figure it out. And that's why you
get a little bit of a tease, all right, start
looking at your international travel, have some fun. I was
trying to get some information out of Frostburg to see
when the Bears are coming to Los Angeles. So maybe
my brother could save fifty bucks on a flight, or
maybe get a better time. He's got nothing for me,
(28:19):
he told me I was dead to him. But the
idea being that for Roger Goodell, if you're able to,
as one of your last acts, when you've shepherded this
league through a bunch of lows from a public perception
about the product and CT and the cases off the
(28:39):
field and everything else that you've gone through, but you
can always point to the economic gains for each of
these clubs that you then can finish your tenure by saying, oh,
by the way, here's this multi billion dollar team setting
up shop in London or setting up shop in Frankfurt,
(29:00):
both look at it. Here's another you know, fifteen billion
dollars coming into the league by their entry fee to
come in or the transfer portal also known as the
relocation fees, whatever the case may be. That Econ like
he's going to try to hoard all of that because
that's that's what he's his foundation for the greatness of
(29:21):
his tenure, that in owning the PA at every turn
when they sit down to talk about the CBA.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Seven and a half to go in
the first half, Lakers lead the Warriors after a big
Warriors outburst to start, make it forty five forty four
about seven and a half to go before halftime. Could
be one of those ad get on my back type
(29:59):
game games, but certainly the Lakers making it close has
to be the biggest surprise right now when it could
have been one of those, Hey, we're up three to one,
we're gonna run us out of the gym, and we're
getting ready to go back to LA for Game six.
The Lakers have now made it a tie game here
with seven and a half to go in the first half.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
See other people tried to take your thought of give
up on game five and tried to speak that in
new existence.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
It'd see surprising because it's kind of laughing.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
It's somebody that that's happened plenty of times before, or
I've said something and that person has suddenly come out
with that take.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
It's very surprising.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Then he went and tried to do the geary, the
old razzle dazzled. Nothing to see here, very surprised. Yeah,
I chuckled heartily when when because it because well we're
not televised. We didn't get the same thrust on it,
even though you've been saying it for weeks with different series,
different players, whatever else.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah. Yeah, So we will have more on this game
coming up. And I'm sure again where tomorrow's takes the
night before or usually weeks ahead of time. But the
biggest controversy of the last forty eight hours is now over.
West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins has had his salary
reduced by a million dollars. He will have to undergo
(31:11):
sensitivity training. He was suspended for three games for next
season and had his contract amended to a year two
year deal. This from the fault of his appearance on
a radio show earlier this week in which he referred
to fans of Xavier as Catholic blanks, using an anti
gay sler that has been out there, that has been
(31:33):
well reported over the course of the last couple of days.
What the university was going to decide, what college basketball
would decide, That was the big question. And here I
have to be honest, this is good. This is how
it's supposed to work. Because you have put Bob Huggins
on Last Chance Hotel. He's somebody that's already had his
salar reduced by a million dollars, sensitivity training, a suspension,
(31:57):
have his contract amended. What you want in situation like
this for someone who comes out with hate speech is
you know what, how about you learn about the impact
of your words a little bit here? How about you
learn and you understand that there's a big world out
there that you know nothing about, and you need to
have a better idea of what the world is.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Because if you fire the guy.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Is he going to go through sensity training or is
he going to sit out a year and then show
up and coach someplace else.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
No, he's not.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
It's supposed to work where you talk like this, and
you were very comfortable with having that conversation and what
you said, doubling down, saying it a couple of times.
Can't tell me it was a slip up. This was
I said it, I said it again. And the comfort
that he had with the hosts on the air that
I could say it. Oh, the WLW in Cincinnati, Yeah,
we're talking about this and saying this and saying this
(32:43):
if you think it's not enough. This is kind of
how you want things to work. Hey, you said this,
and now I want to see you learn from it,
even when you're sixty nine years old. Right, I'm fifty two.
I learned stuff every single day, and a lot of
it's something I didn't think I would learn, but it's
something I learned. And I'm not saying it it's all
always something like this, but I'm always I'm always someone
of you know. I can still learn from situations, I
(33:04):
can learn about people, I can learn different things, and
I learn every day. And this is kind of what
you want. You want Bob Huggins to come away from
this with, Hey, you're done. One more slip up, You're done.
In fact, we're taking a million dollars away from you now.
We're getting now. There's no buyout. It's year to year.
If you do something, we're done. We're not paying you
any more money. So you are on your last chance
here with us. This is kind of how it's supposed
(33:26):
to work.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Well and go back to the way he exited Cincinnati
before becoming the head coach.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Later on right where he had to take some time off.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
You had a DWI and for some coaches, again that
becomes the only strike you get and your career is done.
So certainly there's a history when you come into a
situation like this, as we talked about on Monday night,
if you're going to take action, when you take action,
it has to be putitive. It can't just be a
cursory thing. So the fact that there is more on
(33:59):
top of the three game suspension, because again, what is
that on a grand scale, not a whole lot, But
here's the sensitivity training, and folks can push that away,
but it is at least an acknowledgment and making strides
to try to be inclusive, to have that conversation, to
show you trying to be proactive in this. The year
(34:22):
to year contract again something he'd had before where he
had roll over years into contracts and such. But doing
that type of circumstance and making that change is substantive
to show that you know there's a no tolerance going forward. Yes,
you get to keep your job, get humbled, have this embarrassment,
(34:43):
and have a larger discussion that goes out of I
don't pretend to know Bob Huggins, what's in his heart
what's in his soul, what kind of guy he is.
He's been around the game a long long time. A
lot of people have been helped by what he's been
able to do in the coaching profession.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
But here a major gaff and he paid dearly.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Twitter at how about a frust Mike gets swollen down

of the insanity from the NFL. In their pre schedule release,

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Don't put, don't say what hasn't happened yet, because if
that doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Happen, I'm blaming you.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And I'm gonna burn the white Sox hat that's on
your head, except I'm gonna do it while you're wearing it,
so your head is gonna go up in flames. I
have been called the heat miser. Before it's all good.
You would't look very much heat miser, so very much
shut I'm bump, bump.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I can do that.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Stroll out through the hallway too, while my head's on fire.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Here's where things sit right now, twenty five seconds left
in Game five, the Knicks trying to send it to
Game six. They lead the Heat one oh nine to
one oh three. They also have the basketball following a
miss three by the Heat. So it looks like and
I say looks like because it is the Knicks. The
(02:08):
Knicks could be I'm not gonna say yet, but the
Knicks could be back they could. They were never back,
well be back, No, they were gone. Now they were
going Frostburg, So that means they could be back. They
at least you've gone homes for a while. I mean,
I do like that.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
We got John Starks hanging alongside the Jonas Brothers, court
size everybody, and suddenly everybody wants to be at the
Knicks games.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Now everybody there, any.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Jimmy Butler, Mike stop, they're here to watch Jalen Brunson
and his thirty eight points, eight rebounds and seven has
since go.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
New York, Go New York, Go, Go New York, Go,
New York Go.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
It's so exciting. The Knicks could be back. And another
twenty one point three seconds to any one point three seconds.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Three hours, fifteen minutes left on this fantastic voyage.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
They keep saying Robinson back to the nice Robinson back
to the line, and thus far.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Four of eight.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, yeah, the hack of Robinson. He missed one, but
they started that with about five minutes left here. Yes,
but Julius Randall with the rebound after a Mitchell Robinson miss,
making a nine point lead for the Knicks.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
That was one of the laziest rebounding efforts from a
team desperate to try to get back into a game
I've ever seen, and.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's gonna be it.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The Knicks are gonna win this game one twelve to
one oh three.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
The Knicks are back. Go New York, Go New York.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Coat and you know what, New York go as soon
as that Laker game doesn't matter, Go New York.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, but that's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Now, Go New York, inevitable, Go New York live to
see him one more day.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He wait till we.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Sweep you in the finals. Frostburg Knicks Lakers. It's happening, man,
it's happening.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Go New York, Go New York.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Go New York's happening. Like the Mets going on win streak.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
We've won one in a row. It's all good.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Uh, that is the big final right there, one twelve,
one oh three. The Knicks will play again. They will
go back to Game six in Miami. Jalen Brunson with
thirty eight, R. J. Barrett with twenty six, Julius Randall
twenty four, five and one, and the one is a
big black guy he got getting elbowed earlier in the game.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The viral exploits of what his eye looked like at
the beginning of this was absolutely insane.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So there's your night.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You got Brunson hugging John Starks right now, Starks saying,
remember when I went four for seventeen in Game seven
against the against the Rockets.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Man, you can't do that in the next game. So
the Nix is going to bring up any of his futility.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He's a mixture. To tell you about the four he made.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Go New York, Go New York, Go, Go New York,
Go New York, go, got going or going?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
All right?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Good, look, only eight points off the bench for the Knicks,
but they did get six rebounds from Hartenstein.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
He had four points. And the big big I mean,
just think about this for a second, the biggest hoop
of the Nick the knixer up by two, trying to
hold on to a lead late. They led by nineteen
at one point. But you you know, it's the Knicks
and it's the NBA. See you're gonna yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
In theory, you're either getting a run or you're getting
someone symbolically waving a white, white towel somewhere.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He's just a whether you get to see it on
the screen or now.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
So things are getting really tight. I'm not too happy
as we're watching the game. No, and it's it's a
seven point lead, and a four point lead, and a
three point lead, and a five point lead. Then it
gets down to two and now I'm feeling Okay, this
is not good. This is not good. And the Knicks
take it all the way down to the end of
the shot clock.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
RJ.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Barrett goes in for a layup, he misses high, but
Isaiah Hartenstein goes in for the follow up jam. The
biggest bucket of the year for the Knicks, and it's
Isaiah Hartenstein who makes it. He is Thelannie Walker so
far off tonight, except the only had two points instead
in the fourth quarter instead of like fifteen. But the
biggest bucket of the season. If I could, I could
(05:51):
a point to anybody, Hey, who's gonna score the biggest
Nicks bucket of the season? Jason, I would say, Well,
it's gonna be Brunson. No, well it's gonna be Randall.
No it would be Barrett. No, oh, it'll be uh
A quickly off the bench. No, it'll be Obi Toppin. No,
who's it gonna be it's gonna be Isaiah Hartenstein. Oh well, okay,
then quickly still not available. You got eighty eight points
between your big three, including your monster effort from Jalen
(06:16):
Bronson thirty eight. As you said, four of ten from three,
your guy Julius Randall. You want to talk about someone
bre exhaling very loudly. You can almost hear it, even
though we have no sound on from these monitors in
the studio. When they showed him getting ready to hug
his kid and then walk off the court, might be
(06:36):
the most relieved guy leaving Madison Square Garden today.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
We got that one done, all right. We lived to
see another day. A lot of excitement. He got all
the luminaries there, but a huge game, and when it
came to crunch time, yeah, you went to the hakka.
Whoever was nearby h and that that happened about a
halfway through the fourth quarter, and they they stayed composed.
(07:01):
You had a couple of runs where wide open Robinson
on the other end, or or Jimmy Butler with a bucket.
Kyle Lowry hit a couple of big threes, but they
never were able to overcome that gap right close it
down to two, and then it extended back out and
a couple of bad bad shots selection with the game
(07:23):
still on the line, and then you close out. So congratulations,
Lakers Warriors are getting ready to start a good nine minutes.
It was good except for the go New York, New York.
(07:43):
I mean you need to have eight other people behind
you to really we need a cacophony of voices to
make that work.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Go New York, Go New York, Go, Go New York,
Go New York Go.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I didn't mean that you need to start whispering it
like you were a crowd. I could just do it
short towing it. I could do it in different voices.
How can do it like Roy Kent, Go New York,
Go New York. Do that like e F and go
and then have a tight shirt, layer them together.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So it's a a symphony.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Sure, I could do it like Rage against the Machine,
New York with a pocket fool that could have done.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It like Hall of Famers.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, well look the next there'll be Hall of Famers
when they come back from three to one New York.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
You know, we talked about it the other night. Only
five percent of teams able to do that in the
history of the NBA playoffs, Nicks get one to stay
alive tonight, and now we'll see if the Warriors can
match and keep this series go and force it back
to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Mike, five percent for Jason is like winning the lottery.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Well, I mean, my team usually an acceptable rate of error,
right the plus or minus when we're looking at polling
questions and election results and all of those kind of things,
margin of error three to five percent, so usually acceptable rate.
But in this case, it's you got five percent chance
to win the series, and and you slammed the table,
(09:06):
and you say you're saying, there's a.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Chance, go New York.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Never tell me the odds, go New York, Go New York.
I went to, Yeah you did, but go New York.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The liberty chant Uh no, that's liberty, liberty games, Liberty.
Oh I thought you met, like the liberty commercials. Liberty Liberty.
That's not a sponsor. No, but not a sponsor. You
mean the New York Liberty I don't know what they
sing it, the New York Liberty games. Think the song
that you're singing, the horrible song you're saying.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
They might also have some kind of chance specific to
an opponent that we can't say on air.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Back in the New York.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm back back in the New York groove, but.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I'm back. Wow.

(10:08):
The Lakers and Warriors are seconds away. But look, let
me just say this about the Knicks and the Heat. Well,
you can't anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
The balls Jason Ball there you you're running for your life.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Next are done?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Man, I'm shooting. No, what's happening? No?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
The are we playing war Association karaoke tonight?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Is that? Is that what Wenzay has become here?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I'll be honest. This is not a great series. Neither
team is playing great. I mean that's kind of where
we are right now in the NBA playoffs where sometimes
you just get series like that because look this Knicks
heat that the Heat have not played well and they're
up three to two. The Knicks have just played a
little bit worse than the Heat, so they're down three
to two. That's kind of what this series has been.
(10:53):
But tonight what's happened is a guy that doesn't get
enough credit that continues to get a bigger and bigger
slice of the pie every day we go on. Is
Jalen Brunson?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Now?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Does he look like a bleeping bargain? At four years
and one hundred million dollars?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
You get Jalen Brunton for you? What are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh wait a minute, that's the biggest bargain of all
that's the biggest free agent signing in years in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Okay, wait, the guy came and totally redid the culture
and was a guy that said I'm not gonna let
us lose. Oh yeah, suddenly he's an absolute bargain at
four years and one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Also, just recognizing the cost of doing business. We do
this every time a quarterback gets signed and people don't
like it. Team decided they were worth the money. And
I'm looking squarely going back to New York and looking
at Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You may not like it. They think there's something more
in the tank.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
So they're paying ahead for what may become a better
offense and more prolific offense.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Can he be that guy? I don't know, but they're
paying for it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Likewise, bringing in Jalen Brunson, you go to New York,
you know you gotta pay the piper because we're talking
about the New York tax when it comes to the
actual state income tax there, so you might have to
do a bit of an overpay. But you're also looking
to shake things up, which means you're coming over the
top of any offer, which means Dallas really didn't get
(12:11):
a seat at the table from all we're told. Dad
being there as part of the step. That certainly doesn't
hurt Rick Bronson, of course. But the idea is that
where are you finding juice in this NBA. It's not
a center driven league?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Right?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
You got very few guys that truly hit free agency
without a bunch of strengths. Because most of your big
guys that have moved around, what did they do? They
decided they hated the team they were with and then
they force a trade, as opposed to I'm actually in
free agency and we'll listen to offers and we'll choose
the place that makes the most sense. Bought into Thibadeau's philosophy,
(12:50):
came in, worked with Derek Rose, a guy who I
think needs more credit for what he'd been. Hasn't been
able to be on the court, and that's fine, he's
at that part of his NBA life cycle. But he's
a guy that's Thibodeau's right hand man and one of
those guys that was helping to try to figure out
what the culture of this squad needed to be. Brunson
comes in and you've had many games like tonight where
(13:12):
he's carrying him. Julius Randall, Third Team All NBA. Love
him or hate him, the guy put up numbers for
the season and in the playoffs. Yeah, there's big efforts
that he gives you and sometimes disappearing acts. Guess what.
That's the rest of the NBA. But you go four
for one hundred, It's it's a bargain because look where
the market's headed. If you've got a point guard that
(13:33):
can run things and can still put up thirty five
points on you while running the show, we don't have
a lot of guys that do both very well. I
have some initials for you.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
G n Y g n YG go New York, New
York coat, Go New York, New York Coat, New York,

What'd you put in here? It's like, did you just
drop pollen in here? And just I'm just spread it
all around? Some loved the mets in there.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Ah man, that escalated quickly. Wow, that was what people
tell you guys. Punched in the face. My eyes are watering.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, I said to sneeze a lot. Wow, man, what
was what did bo Jackson do to get rid of hiccups?
What was that? He was having some kind of surgery?
Should I should I try that here for the hicck,
for the sneeze.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I'm sure someone will pretend to be a doctor cut
your throat.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
How was nobody gone and scared him?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I gotta think people well, because first of all, he's
still a big dude. Dear bow, would you like to
go to Hollywood or Horror.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Nights with me?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
They said, that's how you cure hiccups.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
You scare you scare somebody, not scary farm. I mean,
come on, you scare somebody and you hold your breath.
Go trick or.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Treat, you know at the Disney thing. I mean we
go to any of the theme parks, they'll take carry in.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Put a Mets box scren in front of him.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Stop.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I mean, like ten months that supposedly bo Jackson's been
was dealing with a bad case of hiccups, all these
crazy things to try to do it. I just keep
thinking of that mind from the Simpsons when they go
and coming up next, we're going to meet somebody who's
been hiccupping for fifteen years. He goes, kill me, kill me,
kill me, kill me, kill me. But man, ten months
of hiccups, you I can't, I can't. I go and
(16:17):
I want to bang my head against a wow.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I mean, how do you sleep? Do you hiccup in
your sleeps too? I guess I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I mean that's worse than sleep athnea at that point, man,
that was that's rough. Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
First quarter things are starting to get a little bit
underfoot for the Lakers. They were getting boat raced out
of the gate by the Warriors. Draymond Green was on
his way to an eighty two point game. Uh, he's
got eight, but the Lakers have now cut the lead
to eight themselves. Warriors were up big now twenty one
to thirteen Lakers at the free throw line, Draymond leading
(16:51):
the way with eight. Meanwhile for the Lakers, a d
with seven as he tries to edd his total already
with just under five minutes to go in the first quarter.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Impress start for Dreymonder.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
He got called for a file about seven seconds into
the game as they got the ball down to Anthony Davis.
But aggressive on the offensive end, and we've seen that
a couple of times during the playoffs. That's what you're expecting,
so that becomes the bonus as the Warriors try to
figure out it. Certainly, late game situations is what we're
all waiting to see, but we'll also for the Warriors,
(17:23):
they'd like to see if they can get away from
having to make any of those decisions late. See if
they can get a blowout situation here, get Jordan Poole
heating up and become a bigger factor in the offense.
But Wiggins hit a big shot early. So a little
bit of the secondary characters in this play coming up
big for the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
So we'll keep you updated here.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Lakens have just cut it to five, make it twenty
one to sixteen. Steve Kerr not exactly what Steve Kerr
had in mind. Austin Reeves steals a rebound away underneath
from Steph Curry. He finds Antony the Davis opened for
the jam, and now it's a five point. It looked
like it was going to be over before we got
to the end off.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
You're going to say he was too small, that he
didn't have enough strength to keep that.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I gotta save that till after the game. But people
just don't like the truth about Steph.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Did you see that guy that sneaked into the building
pretending he was Austin Reeves. No, he kind of looked
like him into our building. No, he in the stadium
went through security. Yeah, you know, because I can see
Frostburg coming. Hey, this is Austin Reece Frostburg. That's not
Austin Reeves.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
No, it's Austin Reeves. Is anyway, he's in here with us.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's actually Megan.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Mark Hell not it's markle Is it with Steve marsh
and all that stuff from the Coron.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
H correcting me. I think it's Markle. It's the Grim Reaper, Billy,
It's the grim Northwestern product. Grim Reaper is a Northwestern product.
That too, Oh, that's Mark hel. The Jason Smith Show
is my best friend, Mike Carmen. Tonight's show brought to
you by a Discover. At the end of your first year,
Discover credit cards automatically double all the cash back here
and that's right, everything you earned is doubled. Seriously see terms.
(19:04):
Check it out for yourself at Discover dot com. Slash
Matt Jason. The only thing that you know about a
Royal is with cheese Royal, and they beat us in
the World Series in twenty fifteen. So there's that valid point.
But Verlander's back. Go New York, Go, New York Go.
So today was a big day in the NFL because
we got the appetizer for the big schedule release day,
(19:27):
which is tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I thought this kind of sucked. Well No, no, I.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Liked it because it shows that the NFL is just saying,
we're crazy, man, We'll do anything we want to do.
Tomorrow we get the full schedule. Now we're going to
get it right. We're good there's not gonna be any
because there was talk this week, hey.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
We may not get it.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Oh no, we're getting We're gonna get it right.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
At this point, they've made Jeff Bezos happy, like they
made him happy with the games.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
He's gonna get enough because look, with all of the
ability to do for a free for all and the fighting,
that's what I want. I don't care about war rooms
for the draft and who's got their dog making picks
or whatever else. I want the fight between the network executives.
We want that game right, because the regular season is
not holding to the old form of AFC, NFC.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You give me those games Thursday night, or I'll buy
the NFL and I will put all the games on Amazon.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
But that's it, right, And with the flexible schedule becoming
a bigger and bigger thing, it's it's not as much
of an issue out of the jump.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Now, but it but it's now, it's all the old
rules are gone because now we know, as you said, tomorrow,
all the what is that gonna be on CBS, it's
gonna wait, We're gonna be on Fox.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
We're on it.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Because none of that happened matters anymore. There's no more
conference line up with CBS like the AFC has been
on forever, the NFC with Fox, all that jets will
be on Comedy Central and we got stop just stop prostpuring.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
You sound so desperate, man, You sounds so deferently.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
And that was funny. He sounds America's laughing. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
We we we get.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
The holidays, the holiday holiday holiday, Holliday, and I'd like
to be able to do the holiday holiday holiday in May.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
It's pretty cool, it's good holiday. We should do it
every day.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I mean Alvis saying about why can't every day be
like Christmas?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I feel, look christ holiday, holiday, holiday holiday. We find
out who's playing on Black Friday. We find out who's
playing on Christmas and how many games they are going
to be, who's playing the international games? Where do you
want to start first? Black Friday? Christmas?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Or I think the international ones are the ones you
can slough off. There's not a whole lot of debate.
But here's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Here's the thing, this is what Let me just say this,
I'd be the internationals for a second. Yeah, I don't
look at this. I don't look at the international games
as a football fan, because as a football fan, unless
my team is playing, it's just kind of met right.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
They don't move the needle.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
No one really spends a lot of time, yes, because
they're not here in La or on the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
They're on at six thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
You really gotta love getting up early to watch the
Jaguars and the Commanders, right, I mean, you gotta really.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Jaguars now thought it right, everybody's gonna tell you the
Jaguars matter.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
These games are gonna be big deal.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
You gotta love waking up early to see the Titans
and the Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
You know what, That Titans Ravens game. That's that's my
fiftieth birthday. I may try it over the walk and
to go watch that one. To go see a game
of two teams that you don't care about.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I'm gonna why are here because I don't care if
I get drunk and miss the game because I don't
like either of these teams.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Now, the week before is Ozzie and a CDC together
out in the desert. Here. We're all gonna go. We
may never make it back. No, you're not, my kids,
promise me. Don't get me back.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
No, that's gonna be like that's gonna be like the
worst outtakes of the hangover, your kids trying to get
you back from a concert in the desert.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
You don't want to be a part of it. You do,
I'll get a block and you know who's in you
know what?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Chip yourself. Make sure you're chipped like a phone, so
wherever you are we can kind of find you.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oh, I might have an ankle bracelet. You don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
He's at the bottom of the sarlac. Can we get
him out? Nah, just like Boba Fett. Let him shoot
his way out. We'll see you in a little Mike.
Is that the one with Metallica? Yes, my kids want
to go see Hazi. Did you see Metallica and jewel tool?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Jewels?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
He might be andj Someone will have to to save
Mike harmon soul. She'll say at some point, who will
save your soul?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
In the background.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
No, But here's here's the here's the thing about the
international games. As a football fan, I could take her
leave them right. They're just games that don't matter. Right
on a big NFL Sunday, it doesn't matter if my story,
my team is playing. But as a fantasy player, which
almost all of us are, I hate these bleeping games man.
So because if I have guys playing who are quick,
because you don't know what happens when they get over
(23:40):
to London or Germany. Crazy ass stuff happens. You don't
know what happens. Oh he's gonna play, he's not. Oh
it's good, he's on the plane. But then a guy's
on the plane, you gotta worry about how his ankle
is going to respond to.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Treatment exactly, clarify about ankle or whatever I supposed to.
I mean, you go to London or Germany, crazy stuff happened.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I saw hard days night. This stuff happens.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
He was on the Thames revun last night, and I
don't know where he is. I think he's in Amsterdam
as a red.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Bike trying to he's trying to find a windaw No, you.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Know, you don't know, and you gotta wake and so
you gotta set your line up three and a half
hours before everything else is in.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Do I play this guy? Do I not? Is he
gonna play? How effective is he?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Because generally the games are completely unpredictable and all the
all the points are lower all the points are lower, right,
you don't get anybody goes over go boy, if this
game was in the States, and I mean, would you
stop trying up and let me talk, because the continental
United States you have a better idea of how the
game is gonna go.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
But in England and Germany you don't.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Man Frostburg, Now, don't ask me what question about fantasy advice.
Fantasy advice. Ask me again, don't say, hey, what do
I do it now? Because I ain't doing it because
I remember this conversation, this moment in time. You're like,
play the sad music in the corner. Can't you can't
(25:06):
just be quiet? Watch the Lakers. They cut it to four.
Watch the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And that has nothing to do with that. We're talking
about nothing to do. Okay, let me stop right there.
The Mets suck. As a fantasy owner, I can't stand
these games.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I'm like, I just hope I don't have anybody going
and someone that I have to play, because that generally,
look at the fantasy points games, they just they're they're flatter,
they're more defensive games. You don't get the big offensive
firepower you get because of the travel the jet leg
coming out flat for a game. I hate the fantasy owner.
I hate these games. I want none of my guys
to play in these games. It's why would I draft
(25:39):
a jack Horse player?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I don't know. Because eight times they're playing in London.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Do you feel better about the fact that they're gonna
play those back to back weeks? First week you got
the Falcons, that's gonna be at Wembley Stadium, and then
they play the Bills the following week. So they're just
gonna stay there at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
They should stay there forever.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Well, eventually expansion is coming, just like we were talking
about yesterday, the eventual Mexico team for Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Well, listen, that's the next That's the serious point that's
outside of Hey for fantasy fans, it's ridiculous and it
sucks and I hate it. But what this is happening
now is this eventually, Yes, it's setting the stage to
have a team over there. Every year they play a
few more games, a few more games, a few more games,
and a lot of the travel is sort of like
(26:27):
if you're flying east coast to west coast, you will
see some teams come and they're gonna stay in the
States for a week and play. It's going to happen
at some point, but it's still a ways away. You're
at the point now where it's okay, it's six games
a year. We're gonna get to seven, eight, We're gonna
put more games in there. And then eventually, I would
say probably when the next commissioner comes in. It's either
(26:48):
gonna be the last thing Roger Goodell does or the
first thing the next commissioner does is going to be
we now have a team in Europe because now you
have to be able to have someone come in pay
the money. We have to have thirty three teams talking
about imbalance scheduling. How is that gonna go? Are we
gonna have two expansion teams? Are we gonna get to
thirty four? That's what's going to happen, And that's that's
(27:08):
when it's going to get that expansion. It's we're just
keep going slower and slowly, more towards it, more towards it,
more towards it, more towards it, and we're gonna get that.
I mean, it'll be the last year, the last thing
Roger Goodell got. So that's the last thing he does.
Feather in his cap as he walks away, or the
first thing a commissioner new commissioner comes in to do, say,
I want to put my imprint on the game, and
(27:28):
I'm gonna do this right now. Like an owner who
buys a team that's itching to spend money on a
star player. That's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I think when you look at Goodell's legacy and checkered
as it is with some of the decisions, you easily
point to the economic powerhouse and the growth expansion of
the National Football League and what they've been able to
do internationally, and the demand for tickets and how quickly
those games sell out. We watch it every year, and
the complaining more so than a Taylor Swift tour in
(27:57):
terms of being locked out and not being able to
go and procure your allotment. People from the States that
are trying to figure it out. And that's why you
get a little bit of a tease, all right, start
looking at your international travel, have some fun. I was
trying to get some information out of Frostburg to see
when the Bears are coming to Los Angeles. So maybe
my brother could save fifty bucks on a flight, or
maybe get a better time. He's got nothing for me,
(28:19):
he told me I was dead to him. But the
idea being that for Roger Goodell, if you're able to,
as one of your last acts, when you've shepherded this
league through a bunch of lows from a public perception
about the product and CT and the cases off the
(28:39):
field and everything else that you've gone through, but you
can always point to the economic gains for each of
these clubs that you then can finish your tenure by saying, oh,
by the way, here's this multi billion dollar team setting
up shop in London or setting up shop in Frankfurt,
(29:00):
both look at it. Here's another you know, fifteen billion
dollars coming into the league by their entry fee to
come in or the transfer portal also known as the
relocation fees, whatever the case may be. That Econ like
he's going to try to hoard all of that because
that's that's what he's his foundation for the greatness of
(29:21):
his tenure, that in owning the PA at every turn
when they sit down to talk about the CBA.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Seven and a half to go in
the first half, Lakers lead the Warriors after a big
Warriors outburst to start, make it forty five forty four
about seven and a half to go before halftime. Could
be one of those ad get on my back type
(29:59):
game games, but certainly the Lakers making it close has
to be the biggest surprise right now when it could
have been one of those, Hey, we're up three to one,
we're gonna run us out of the gym, and we're
getting ready to go back to LA for Game six.
The Lakers have now made it a tie game here
with seven and a half to go in the first half.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
See other people tried to take your thought of give
up on game five and tried to speak that in
new existence.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
It'd see surprising because it's kind of laughing.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
It's somebody that that's happened plenty of times before, or
I've said something and that person has suddenly come out
with that take.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
It's very surprising.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Then he went and tried to do the geary, the
old razzle dazzled. Nothing to see here, very surprised. Yeah,
I chuckled heartily when when because it because well we're
not televised. We didn't get the same thrust on it,
even though you've been saying it for weeks with different series,
different players, whatever else.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah. Yeah, So we will have more on this game
coming up. And I'm sure again where tomorrow's takes the
night before or usually weeks ahead of time. But the
biggest controversy of the last forty eight hours is now over.
West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins has had his salary
reduced by a million dollars. He will have to undergo
(31:11):
sensitivity training. He was suspended for three games for next
season and had his contract amended to a year two
year deal. This from the fault of his appearance on
a radio show earlier this week in which he referred
to fans of Xavier as Catholic blanks, using an anti
gay sler that has been out there, that has been
(31:33):
well reported over the course of the last couple of days.
What the university was going to decide, what college basketball
would decide, That was the big question. And here I
have to be honest, this is good. This is how
it's supposed to work. Because you have put Bob Huggins
on Last Chance Hotel. He's somebody that's already had his
salar reduced by a million dollars, sensitivity training, a suspension,
(31:57):
have his contract amended. What you want in situation like
this for someone who comes out with hate speech is
you know what, how about you learn about the impact
of your words a little bit here? How about you
learn and you understand that there's a big world out
there that you know nothing about, and you need to
have a better idea of what the world is.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Because if you fire the guy.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Is he going to go through sensity training or is
he going to sit out a year and then show
up and coach someplace else.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
No, he's not.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
It's supposed to work where you talk like this, and
you were very comfortable with having that conversation and what
you said, doubling down, saying it a couple of times.
Can't tell me it was a slip up. This was
I said it, I said it again. And the comfort
that he had with the hosts on the air that
I could say it. Oh, the WLW in Cincinnati, Yeah,
we're talking about this and saying this and saying this
(32:43):
if you think it's not enough. This is kind of
how you want things to work. Hey, you said this,
and now I want to see you learn from it,
even when you're sixty nine years old. Right, I'm fifty two.
I learned stuff every single day, and a lot of
it's something I didn't think I would learn, but it's
something I learned. And I'm not saying it it's all
always something like this, but I'm always I'm always someone
of you know. I can still learn from situations, I
(33:04):
can learn about people, I can learn different things, and
I learn every day. And this is kind of what
you want. You want Bob Huggins to come away from
this with, Hey, you're done. One more slip up, You're done.
In fact, we're taking a million dollars away from you now.
We're getting now. There's no buyout. It's year to year.
If you do something, we're done. We're not paying you
any more money. So you are on your last chance
here with us. This is kind of how it's supposed
(33:26):
to work.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Well and go back to the way he exited Cincinnati
before becoming the head coach.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Later on right where he had to take some time off.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
You had a DWI and for some coaches, again that
becomes the only strike you get and your career is done.
So certainly there's a history when you come into a
situation like this, as we talked about on Monday night,
if you're going to take action, when you take action,
it has to be putitive. It can't just be a
cursory thing. So the fact that there is more on
(33:59):
top of the three game suspension, because again, what is
that on a grand scale, not a whole lot, But
here's the sensitivity training, and folks can push that away,
but it is at least an acknowledgment and making strides
to try to be inclusive, to have that conversation, to
show you trying to be proactive in this. The year
(34:22):
to year contract again something he'd had before where he
had roll over years into contracts and such. But doing
that type of circumstance and making that change is substantive
to show that you know there's a no tolerance going forward. Yes,
you get to keep your job, get humbled, have this embarrassment,
(34:43):
and have a larger discussion that goes out of I
don't pretend to know Bob Huggins, what's in his heart
what's in his soul, what kind of guy he is.
He's been around the game a long long time. A
lot of people have been helped by what he's been
able to do in the coaching profession.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
But here a major gaff and he paid dearly.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Twitter at how about a frust Mike gets swollen down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
More NBA on the way, but coming up next, more
of the insanity from the NFL. In their pre schedule release,
we got Christmas, we got Black Friday, we got lots
of things. It's next right here, Jason and Mike. This
is Fox Sports Radio.
