Speaker 2 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Great eggs and welcome in a beautiful Friday night action
packed We've got the Emirates Cup up and going in
the NBA. For some of the teams, they are their
first go round with all the eclectic courts. I got
on the bad side of the NBA by correcting their
spelling mistakes in one of their posts from earlier today,
(00:50):
so we've got that going for us. Smith is off
tonight in his stead. Our guy Carrie Rhodes steps in.
What's going on? We got Tyson and Paul coming up.
We got Wemby and Anthony Davis. Nobody can play defense.
They're just running up and down and scoring on each other.
All sorts of chaos. Brother, how are you man?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It's good. You know, it's been a while since I've
been in this chair with you, so excited to be here.
Even though it's the long the long one, the long night,
which you love. I'm excited for this, well.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
The four hours.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Everybody gets all nervous about when they do, and it's like, what,
it's just another day here. It's like I more content,
more opportunity to go as we go on. We got
pete utech mark Stein will join US college Football and
the National Basketball Association, respectively. We've also got some college
football going on. I know they had a Warcraft game.
(01:40):
That's the theme going on with the game in Washington.
So we have that, so all sorts of chaos, But
we start with the event of events, and we love pageantry,
we love the pomp and circumstance, and we've got it.
You don't have to love the actual event, right, That's
the thing. Got to try to wrap my arms around it,
(02:00):
like all of it. Right, Because if you and I
sit here and we talk about where we're at in
the NFL after ten weeks, if I said, on the
normal grade scale, not inflated like we do it now, ABCDF,
for the NFL, where would you grade the quality of
play for the league as a whole?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The quality of play would be a D for me.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Right, So yeah, but we're still watching in crazy ass numbers, right,
so we will still watch bad products, and we may
get a terrible product coming up with this Mike Tyson,
Jake Paul fight. It could absolutely be a train wreck.
They could both look at each other, start break dancing,
and walk out of the ring together saying we got paid. Right,
(02:41):
people on Netflix on the apps, there's been some lag
and some issues, so demand is pretty strong. Why cause
how many households already pay for Netflix?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I got it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
It's it's not an added cost, right, Yeah, normally when
we talk about fight night and let's get excited.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
It's fifty nine nine nine sev nine ninety.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Nine whatever, or I got to go to a bar
where I may have to pay a cover fee, all
all of those things to wait. I already have Netflix
because I watch Cobra Kai or I watch whatever else
that's right, Like you Cobra Kai, uh, Cobra COTTI actors
in the house. So all you guys that always complains
like why does Fox have those people at the World series?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Well, Netflix had the guys from Cobra Kai.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And all there they representation.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Shut up it's all about branding. But the point is
that we've talked more about even if you don't want
to call it boxing, if you just want to call
it an exhibition, we've talked more about this than we
have since the what four years before Paquiao and Mayweather
actually got into a ring, when it was still a.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Could they ever do it?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
So everybody wins regardless of how this finishes.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yeah, you say that, you say everybody wins. Everybody's not
gonna win. Somebody's going to lose tonight. And for me,
it's Tyson and because obviously the image that he has
has already been you know, an up and down when
Autopsy Turvy one, you know, it's a wild ride with
Tyson all the time, and we expect that at his age,
(04:13):
boxers don't do well. We already know that. So for me,
it's it's what you just said. It's a spectacle. And
I'm not a spectacle guy. A lot of people are,
and I think the world as a whole is. I'm
a respectable guy. So when you talk about respectable, spectacle
or respectable, I'm a respectable guy. So are we ever
(04:35):
as humans on this planet ever gonna get back to
being respectable. For me, the the divide that we have
in our world is that like everybody's trying to make
the dollar, which is you need it. You need to
sustain your your lives in this life right now, it's
it's a it's a hard time. But when does it
(04:56):
become too much? And that's always the question for me.
You gotta you gotta, you gotta stand for something. What
do you stand for as a human? And that's why
that's why I have the divide when I watch this stuff. Well,
but it becomes that how much is enough?
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
And you can go back to your profession years in
the National Football League.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
You never said, hey, I'll take less because I want
to help others stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
No, but my point is that it wasn't a well,
you know, I'm already making insert whatever dollars. You all
can go and google what what you think carry rhoads
might might have made, it might be worth. But it's
like for most folks, they'll never see, you know, one
hundred thousand dollars in their respective bank account versus a
(05:38):
million dollars. Where's that divide?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
When we start talking about athletes and money, nobody's saying, hey,
give it back. No, I'll take half because you know
what I got enough. Come on, well, so no, Mike,
that's not true. I mean there are some players that
take pay cuts to help their teams win.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
That that's not going somewhere else. I'm telling me that.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
No, I'm telling you, okay, Like, think about Tom Brady
and his plan. I know he made stuff on the side.
We were talking about his perspective jobs.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Sure, but it's all tied together, and he recognized that
the brand of Brady wasn't just for sure on the field,
it was if he wins on the field, everything else flows.
And he also had a wife at the time making
fifty million dollars a year, So Tom Brady doesn't count.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
He's a live No.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
He's always the specious argument when people say, well, this
quarterback or that quarterback's like, they don't have the same
circumstance that.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Tom Brady did.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And in the end, Tom Brady still made what two
hundred million dollars as a quarterback in the that so
he did fine even taking less. He was still getting
fifteen to eighteen million dollars a year.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Played a whole long long time too make up for that.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
But again, it goes to that same point of all right,
one year of that is lifetimes for millions of people. Sure, right,
so in terms of enough in giving back or whatever,
but you generally don't go and even we talk about
these deferred contracts, we'll get Intojan Soto a little bit
later on. It's the the idea of you know, you'll
(07:08):
eventually get in your cash now. Scott Boris is probably
gonna have something to say about it because he wants
his now. So that's that's where that kind of hiccup
goes when people start going down that philosophy. But the
respectable part of you know, from Mike Tyson, look, the
big bad bully can still mess you up. I think
we can all agree to that. Looking at whether he
(07:29):
can message Jake Paul up tonight, there's a whole other thing.
But to you know, Joe, Joe and Johnny Public, they
don't want to see him walking walking their direction with
a pissed off looking at the place. But from Mike Tyson,
let's face it, since Buster duckla Is, it's not Mike Tyson, right,
So anybody doing this legacy nonsense and all that argument
(07:53):
that left a long ass time for a million different
reasons that's been gone. So if you can get another
pay like you saw, I mean, we played it yesterday,
that that clip he had with the young lady Jazzy
and talking about death and legacy and whatever else. Legacy
is what someone else is gonna make of it. For him,
all right, it's a payday. Maybe he helps some people
(08:14):
out with that money. Maybe maybe maybe he's already got expent.
I don't know, But in the head, you know, he's
a grown ass man unless someone's not, unless someone's compelling.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Him to go in the ring. I'm a big believer.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Of until someone actually rips the jersey off of you,
I'm not gonna be the guy to do it right
until the contract offers don't show up anymore. You've gone
to any other tryouts, football, basketball, bait, whatever it is.
The arm doesn't work anymore, the legs don't have the
quick twitch motion. Boxing, you're too slow, So you're getting
your ass handed to you. So nobody's gonna clear you
(08:49):
medically or insurance or whatever. But until that happens, if
that's what's gonna make you happy, go do it. And
that goes for any walk of life beyond our Sporting Ground.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I got a question. So as far as this this
fight goes, they still had to clear him, right, Yeah,
so he still was clear.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
You still got to go through a lot of that,
and we all can, I think reasonably understanding many many circumstances.
Again owing back to your you know, former call to
the National Football League, whether you should have been back
out a field at times? Was not you the collective
view might have been in question. Wow, that was a
(09:26):
really great trip to the tent, right, and we still
see it now even with all the would be advancements
and safety protocols that we're still there carry. So so
for me, I'm all in on this, you know, because look,
everybody's getting fed.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You know. The crazy part about that is the I
would say the I would say the silver lining here
or the positive side of what it could be here
is my little nephew text me and said he's watching
the Tyson fight. I was like, the Tyson fight? How
do you? How do you you know about that? So
that part just the awareness of once greatness, it's kind
(10:06):
of a cool thing to kind of see.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, if nothing else, you know, for folks, whatever this
becomes right, the over unders five and a half rounds.
Everybody's getting paid Tops and we'll talk about Tops a
little bit later because they factor in they produced the
Tops Now series. Panini does the same thing with their
instant so it commemorates big moments in our pop culture
(10:28):
and sporting events. Depending on which licenses you have, you
do different things. But you know, going back to the Olympics,
Tops did a special with Lebron James, Steph Curry and
Kevin Durant, all three of them on the same card,
and you had the if you bought one five you
can buy him in different packages a little discounting. If
you bought more, the opportunity potentially to get either a
(10:51):
numbered parallel so different color scheme and number out of
serially numbered to forty nine ninety nine, or one of
one but also randomly inserted autographs. They sold five hundred
and eighty eight thousand of those people. The one on
one autograph still has in surface, so we're still waiting
for someone to open all their packages and see where
(11:13):
it comes up. But the Tyson Paul fight, they already
started pre selling those with the chance of autographs. I
can't wait to see the final print run. Wow, because
it's gonna be immense because you've got the silo of
Paul fans. And let's face it, he's not a guy
that just decided to throw some gloves on. There's some
fights here. Yeah, and look, I'll let the masters of
(11:35):
the pugilistic arts tell me how good or bad?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
No, because I mean, look, that's it. It's like a
pure again.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
The health of boxing is always the thing people want
to fight about. How healthy boxing? Like, yes, this is
a mainstream thing that everybody kind of wrapped their arms
around that boxing card down the street. That true fight fans,
as everybody declares themselves get it's like hockey fan like
they get really mad about and territorial and that's right.
(12:05):
But you know what, when something like this happens, welcome
everybody in. And for your nephew, for people that younger folks,
there's an opportunity to be educated. Here's some old Mike
Tyson footage.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, because you could.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Show every one of his first three years fights while
he walks to the ring, because they were about twenty
seconds over.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Right, here's your history lesson Bama. Wait, was it was
that all won?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Upon?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
It was like nope, that was a line of guys.
But it's just the idea. For me.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I just like the the bringing together of folks for
an event. And look, it's exhibition, it's boxing. It's slightly
wwe which we had in the little press conference. Oh
you stepped on my foot, I slap you, But it
got more people talking, right KFI or a big news
(12:55):
station here in Los Angeles, they were talking about it.
Experts on to talk about the build up to this
and boxing history and who Mike Tyson is for folks
just coming to the to the table now. So for
me it's you know, I'm and look, the longer these
guys fight, play football, whatever else, the less I feel
(13:16):
like an old man. So so long, Mike. When Brady retired,
I might have shed a tear. As bad as Aaron
Rodgers is playing.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Oh don't why you have to say that, because he's.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Gonna be forty one and what fifteen days? Right, But
as long as he plays, I ain't that old.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
You're relatively young.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
It's all relative. It's all relative hairs thinning. Maybe you
have crept away in different spots, but so long as
they're still out there, I don't feel so old. Hey,

recommended in stallars tyre ract dot com The way tire
(13:53):
buying should be. I should also say this, I am.
I'm not betting the fight. I didn't bet it. Sure,
I have no monetary sure Marston said fight unless I
think I hold Netflix stocks under a mutual fund.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
But beyond that, I got nothing.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Okay, But you know it's.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
You seem slightly offended by this.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I do get offended by it. The quality matters to me, Okay,
quality matters and everything. Like I I want to be
you know, I want to be a stand up guy.
I want others to feel that way. I want people
to really take pride in what they do. You take
pride in what you do on the mic every day,
Like you come to work and you're really invested in.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
With my Hamburglar T shirt, I'm ready to go, You're
ready to go, like I want that.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I don't want to be duped or fooded by anything
or anybody. And that's what I feel like. I feel
like it's a big dupe and I know it may
be exciting, which I'm sure it might be. It's just
not real.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
It feels like a con.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
It feels like like Hugh Jackman's gonna come out and
start singing to you.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Ladies, And exactly.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I was really waiting for our guys to start backgrounds
and they failed me. But but no, I I understand
that part of it, and I guess for me, I'm
accepting it for what it is. That it is as
much P. T. Barnum and a side show and a look.
They may walk out into the ring and it might
be ding ding and they dance.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Around, well, they could break dance, or they could do.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
The Rocky and and Apollo and dance around for a
little bit, and then all of a sudden, all right,
they're both throwing blows. So I mean, there's there's a
million ways by which this could go in any direction.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Man.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
You might have a third guy come in with a chair,
I don't know, and all of a sudden it leads
into a w D.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
You're going to undertake music or something coming up.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Now you're now you're talking, and then all of a sudden,
you know, hell and a cell boom there they are
or are suddenly they're part of war games. I don't know,
I mean, but it's it's just the the idea of
there's so many there's so few things even in sports
and entertainment that really cut through. Because there's a lot
(16:15):
going on. College football, college basketball has started. Our guy
Doug Gottlieb got his first win the other night. Right,
you've got the Emirates Cup going on, so we've got
we had a hell of a game going on, Lakers
and Spurs, like all of those things. To say, we
got another big slate of the college football calendar. We've
got the NFL Week eleven and plenty of teams that
(16:35):
we decided what's going on, and including four or five
monster games right at least at least on paper here
in week eleven. And then yet this still cut through
to the masses on all the daytime talk shows. Like
I said, KFI is a new station and they play
Little grab Ass Friday night. It's drive time Tim Conway
Junior getting after it, but he's talking about the fight,
(16:57):
like where are you watching it, how you watching it,
what do you expect to see? And so like when
it starts doing that and getting those spidering effects like
I like to call it it's because we like to.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Do a story. But then it's how many layers can
we do?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Right here, it's how many tentacles we got and if
it's breaking through towards not just at whatever. It's Mike Tyson,
Jake Paul over on Netflix. But everybody's picking up on
this as a big event. How much at least watch.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
How much of it is? How much is it of
people wanting to see Paul lose?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Oh yeah, everybody wants to see his ass.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
No, there's no no, there's hate watching even if they
don't know anything about it. He's just he represents this
whole YouTube influencer, this whole nebulous evil as like, because
there's content creation of whatever music, right, you do music
(17:56):
and we're calling it art whatever, whereas folks, you know, hey,
AI write me this and then I sing to it
or whatever, you.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Know what I so see, I just hit you where
you live right there? I just Mike.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Tyson your ass right nineteen eighty five style, So like it.
It's just that kind of thing, right where you're working
hard and you're crafting, and then you've got folks that
with a little bit of technical wizardry or maybe a
producer that's got the know how about to go from
A to B to C. That it's it's no longer
that craft these short cuts as it were. Yes, and
(18:31):
that's where what I think Jake Paul represents for a
lot of people here. Yeah, and as a collective, they
they're putting their strength behind Mike Tyson with their five
dollars wagers because all the big money came in on Paul.
Did you say, wait, I can I can make some
money even it's like, you know, the heavy favorite like
this week, Detroit's a fourteen point favorite on Jack Jacksonville.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
You can pat the money line. You're not making a
lot of money, but you know what, you feel pretty good.
You're going to catch the ticket, probably get a cash.
I take it all right, carry out.
Speaker 3 (19:00):

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Ratings and welcome back in Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith
Show with Me by Carbon alongside My Got Carrie Roads.
There's no Jason Smith tonight. He's a ghost. He's evaporated.
Maybe he's out. Maybe he went to AT and T
Stadium to go watch the Tyson Paul fight live.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
You think he went.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
No, No, I think he's got some family stuff. It
is the holiday holiday, holiday season, and you know kids
and their their activities. So I believe little play action
going on. Okay, so you know, getting getting the acting
bug hanging around with he and I running lines off
(20:37):
each other all the time on Fox Sports Radio. I
think rubbed off a little bit, So good luck to them.
Carry in with me here tonight. You hear him Sundays
alongside Dan Bayer part of Red Zone Radio as they
break down the afternoon games live and in living color
and whatever they saw, the good, the bad, the ugly
for the early games each and every week. As we
(20:57):
roll on here, we've got the Emirates Cup underway here,
the NBA Fantastic finish a little bit earlier in the
night as we were yammering on about Paul and Tyson
and we're eagerly awaiting that matchup to.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Get rolling here.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
But we have the the Lakers with a one twenty
one point fifteen final over the Spurs. Big night for
Lebron James. Another triple double for him, So that's four
in a row. Anthony Davis had forty. He put up
forty against Wemby. Now he gave you a couple of
scary moments when he banged knees. I was like, I
(21:36):
don't know, he's gonna go down Like no, He's like,
I can't go down to the court because they'll be
mad at me. So he kept playing. I kept battling along.
But one of the stories that caught my eye here,
and it's not just me wanting to bash the Jets.
Do you think I want to talk about the Jets
when Smith isn't here? No, No, I really don't. I
do enough of that most days of the week. But
(21:58):
you're in a unique position from a million different ways.
Not only were you part of that organization, part of
the Cardinals organization, but also just the idea of the
process leading up to game day, the film review, the
practice field and all of the things.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
That roll through.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
A story that hit my eyes comes from coach Jeff Ulbrick,
your new coach in the post Robert Soliday, and it
almost said salad days, Robert Solidays trying to get things
righted and we had well some issues related to one
of the presentations. He decided to do sauce guard, taking
(22:36):
some exception to the coach's tactics.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
We know how to tackle, you know how to tackle.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
We got to make the tackles.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
That's really it. We've been doing it. We've been doing
it simple. We really don't need no presentation, do you know.
I know where he was coming from when he did it.
But us as professional athletes, we got to be able
to make tackles me included for sure.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Now a difficult game this last week going up against
the Arizona Cardinals, where they claimed twenty was the unofficial
number of mistackles.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
So if your coach were to.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Come in and like, it's one thing to point out plays, yep,
But if he comes in and says, all right, here's
the super super cut of all the mistackles and let's
go through your assignments and what you didn't do?
Speaker 5 (23:16):
How well is that going over at the locker.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Room first and foremost? Did they have enough time to
practice after because that would have been a lengthy session,
is what I'm trying to tell you. It was bad.
I watched a little back game because it was on
while we were here. I was like, what are they doing?
So saw saying they didn't need the presentation. They need
the presentation. And the thing about playing football and playing
(23:40):
any sport or doing anything in life, there's repetition that
needs to happen to be good at it. Obviously they
haven't done that enough. So I know for a fact,
and the old the olden days, what I played the
old days?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Hey, you want to play Jason's music for him?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Shirt? And the olden days, if you weren't doing something good,
you would practice that thing to get better at it.
So it doesn't matter if you're pro, doesn't matter if
that's your moniker. You haven't been playing like a pro.
So we need to get back to the basics to
get you back to that point. So the presentation was needed,
(24:19):
and for Sauce in particular, he should have been happy
that the presentation happened. He's been atrocious at tackling this year,
so for him to say he's the one that shouldn't
be talking about the tackling presentation.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
But he's Sauce Gardener, He's untouchable.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
No, he is not untouchable. He's not touching anything.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
But there it goes back. Man, we talk about fundamentals, right.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I asked you to give a letter grade in our
first segment for those that missed it. As we're talking
about spectacle of sport and what we bring our eyeballs,
our dollars, and our attention to right. Our greatest gift
are the biggest thing we have is our time. Yes,
And we watched the NFL from pillar to post. Tackling
every year gets worse every the fundamentals, Like we watched
(25:08):
who was it was? John news Smith is a play
where he caught an eight yard pass that ended up
being a thirty yard completion down to the one yard
line because four guys went to blow him up instead
of wrapping him and taking him to the ground, Like
what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
What?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
So for Sauce Garter, Like, that's just the extension I
think of what I've been seeing.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
And I gotta.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Imagine you having been on the field, having watched the game.
That's got to infuriate you when you don't see that
effort or the dance down the sideline and like a
half commitment to what you're trying to do.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
That part's the half commitment, because I've missed plenty of tackles.
I've gotten run over, like all the things that anybody has.
You play long enough, ah, it's gonna happen. It happens.
But to say you don't need it because you're a
pro is just a misguided comment. And that part is
the part that represents this jet team to the fullest
(26:05):
this year, all the way through and through. That's actually
nice I put right there. They believe that they're better
than what they are. You're only as good as what
the tape says that week. It doesn't matter what you've
done even prior to that. It's what have you done
that day and what have you done for me lately?
And the last game you all were bad, so you
need a presentation.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yeah, it's a team for a lot of them in
Sauce Garter in particular, resting on the Laurels right, because
he's not the same corner he was tackling aside, not
the same guy. No, they're toothless up the middle, which
has always been a hallmark of Jets football since since
I was a baby. It was let's draft and bring
in a lot of defensive tackles and we're at least
(26:44):
going to be strong against the run.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
That's gone gone.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
And so now you have these circumstances, and I'm from
a league league wide perspective, and again easy for me
to say, I'm sitting here in the studio and watching,
but we've watched enough to where I think we can
reasonably say it. And yes, I've gotten plenty of blowback
from X players before, and that's fine, it's all opinion,
(27:10):
and if I'm wrong, educate me. But it just seems
like those things as part of every subsequent CBA that
we have every agreement to whittle down practice hours and
practice days because you take the easy win from what
the NFL is going to give you versus the hard
fought healthcare and all those other things, that it relates
(27:31):
to a much worse product when we actually get here,
not only in the early part of the season, but
now we're down into the guys that aren't even the
starters in a lot of cases, I sauce is and
you know, decorated veteran whatever. But you've got the drop
off now that it's not even the ones that are
running together. So the fundamentals are even more important now
(27:53):
than they were for the guys that could make up
of it, you know, because they're a list talent.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
The fundamentals are everything all the time, right, And so
if you're getting less practices, if you're not tackling to
the ground in practice, if you're not doing the two
A days, that means the process has to be accelerated
in some way how, how you're not playing in preseason either.
There's no way to really gauge yourself in combat without
(28:20):
going to combat. And that's the part that really makes
me upset when I hear these younger guys talk now
about about the game or how physical it is or
whatever we were in. I'm not the old guy that
said we were in two A days and weal that's
not what I'm saying. But you have to be really
good at your craft, and if you're not doing it
enough to get good at it, you're not going to
be good at it.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
But I do I do.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Remember going and doing training camp tours where two A
days were still a thing, and you were still out
there if you guys weren't satisfied, the coaches weren't satisfied.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Guess what long it went long? Right?
Speaker 3 (28:55):
It was all right, take a water break, kiss your
families goodbye. Who came out to see you getting back
on the field. Yes, receivers, if you had a half
assed practice, you're getting back on the jugs, gun quarterbacks.
You're doing your foot work, yes, and over on the
defensive side. Guys in the trenches you're practicing your steps
and whatever. And the guys in the secondary. Guess what
(29:15):
you're going through the same thing. Guy, hold up the
ball and your back batal into your doing all that, Yes,
and it doesn't stop, like all of that seems to
have gone to the wayside. I'm not trying to say
we walked uphill both ways and whatever else, and and
not trying to speak for you, but I just remember, like, wow,
all right, we're gonna have to cancel the dinner plan
because they're still at work.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Mike, it's it's I just got a flashback you saw that.
I was no, Yeah, I was thinking about two days
and in one hundred and five degrees in Long Buggy,
Long Island, Muggy. Yeah. At Hosta it was hot, it
was terf it was bad.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Offshore was not.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
It was not a great place. No. I love the fans.
The fans were very we're very gracious and brave through
it with us. But it wasn't the best place to
be now.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Yeah, yeah, no, I do recall at Carrie twenty five Roads.

He's got all the latest across the sporting universe.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
I see, hello, gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
We've got a fight, well theoretically coming up in Arlington, Texas.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
I got Rosie Perez previewing.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
It for me.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
We've got a female matchup right now, and then the
finale of the night, Jake Paul against Mike Tyson is listed,
although there have been numerous technical problems between the feed
and the my on the broadcast, et cetera, et cetera.
As one exec tweeted to have Jerry Jones being interviewed
and this fight is taking place in his Dallas Cowboys
(32:09):
stadium tonight. Joan's saying that Nextflix is a huge fartar
our future in the NFL, because.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
You know they got Christmas Games this year.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
It's a three year contract Netflix and the Christmas Games.
Saying that into a mic that doesn't work, and then
less than a minute later the stream goes down. Maybe
it's not good timing on all of this, but yeah, okay,
so two women each about forty years old old, moster
about to start up here that Mike Tyson at fifty
eight comes up. Hey, it's just forty seven to two. Yeah, well,
(32:41):
and this is also two minute rounds right now, and
then Tyson Paul is two minute.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Rounds right it's only two minute rounds.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Eight two minute rounds. Oh my over under five.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
And a half.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
And it's fourteen ounce gloves. So it's it's like Danny
Bonaducci is out there with the sparring. Okay, celebrity boxing.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Tell me you didn't watch Steve when he was beating
the ass off Barry Williams.
Speaker 7 (33:05):
Come on now, I would have stated by Rob Parker that.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
It's it's an expensive what you're saying, Yeah, I don't know, Okay,
it's whatever.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
It's it's the United States of America and they're going
to make a boatload off at congratulations. The promotion expects
seventy thousand in attendance, but that and is calling this
the number one boxing gate outside of Las Vegas in
US history tonight.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Wow, Okay, I'm with you again. I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
The video if I had video, Steve, that was the
best he finished it. And the arms you shut up like,
I don't know what else.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
It just it does qualify as news. It's man bites dog,
but just in an odd kind of way. We've got
actual football going on Fox TV right now. It's Washington
leading UCLA fourteen to three, about a minute to go
till left time, Colorado State ready to go to five,
and oh in the Mountain West leading with ten minutes
(34:11):
to go twenty four to ten against Wyoming, and the
late game on FS one is underway. Arizona at home
leads Houston seven to nothing mid first quarter. We have
two late games in the NBA. Everything else is final.
New Orleans ended a six game losing streak beating Denver
one oh one to ninety four as Nikola Jokic was
out for personal reasons. Cleveland won again fourteen and oh
(34:33):
Orlando won it's fifth straight Oklahoma City and the Lakers
with victories back to you.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
One of the main announcer, Maro Ronaldo. He last worked
at and T Stadium doing WrestleMania oh Man, so you
know he's bringing that to the broadcast.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
There you go, as you go.
Speaker 7 (34:51):
He hosted a reality show on one of the networks
last year as well.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
So we got all that going on.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
Well, who's to say this isn't just a continuation of that.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
That is exactly right and seventy thousand strong packing him
in like sardines merch flying off the shows. Thanks so much, Steve.
He's Carrie Rhoads in for Jason Smith. I'm Mike Carmen.
Coming up next, Silly Season begins Major League Baseball. One
free agent, fresh off of being a little bit salty
of how his season ended, is starting his tour. How
(35:21):
does it end? Where should he end up? We'll talk
about it next year on Fox.

Welcome back in Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith's show with
Mete Mike Carmon No Jason Smith Tonight, Carrie Rhodes, NFL
star musician, actor, man about town. It's our guy at
Carrie twenty five Roads. Where you find him. Check out
everything he's got popping there. Find me over a head,
swollen down. We've got Alex, We've got Patrick. Of course,
(35:59):
we got our guys, Steve Di Saga, Brandon in the
back grabbing us some sound, particularly especially when the sound
actually works coming from at and D Stadium.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Thank you, Jazzy Jazz.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
He's now part of the show, I think forever more
with the greatest tagline that we'll ever have. All Right,
so like you you're You're Yankees guys, I recall. So
so this is gonna hit a little hard. Wan Soto
beginning his free agency tour, and we can put up
all the top ten lists and everything else where should
he go?
Speaker 5 (36:32):
What should he do?
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Will he take a contract structured like show Heyo Tani's
to to get himself multiple world series titles and everything else.
I'm like Scott Boris client okay, number one, yep. So
Scott Boris wants his percentage now, So either Wan SODA's
got to come out of pocket for that or that
(36:54):
kind of structures a no go and I undertain, like
I think it's a fun little conceptual thing. A lot
of debate this week as to whether wan So does
a guy that you go to the mattresses for with
the six hundred million dollar deal, do you make the money?
Does he make you that much substantively better? It's great theater, right, sure.
(37:14):
But he had a meeting with the Red Sox that
evidently went really well three hours plus and and there's
video clips circulating him him talking about his admiration for
the old David Ortiz days and the teams and that
personality that those teams had. And you saw a little
bit of back and forth during the postseason with all
(37:35):
of the the interaction of the X players and guys like.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
Soda, ah, my guy.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I found it interesting, like he was the guy still
sitting in the dugout after the game was done, after
game battles like that.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
That's one that I hang hang.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
A star on, like for other guys like whatever, we'll
see you next season. For him, that seemed to really
tick him off. The way that got away that fifth
inning where everything that could go wrong did And.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
We don't need to relitigate it.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
I don't want to, you know, stick daggers into your
heart as you sit next to me here in the studio.
But it's now that curiosity because historically with Boris clients,
it's all right, who gives me a dollar more. I
do all the research. I show up with my binders
of stats. I tell you how much he adds to
your parking gate, your ticket gate, how many more hats
(38:23):
you're gonna sell, which sizes are gonna be the best
sellers of the hats based on my guy, all of
that stuff. But it strikes me as he may just
be slightly different in that regard.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
I hope, so, I hope so. I know he wants
to win. You just said it, you just stated it.
He was the one that was you could see visibly frustrated, upset, mad,
whatever you want to call him in that moment. That's him.
He really cares about winning the support, the love that
(38:58):
he got in New York, in that Dominican market in
New York. I don't think he will get anywhere else, right,
And so I think from that that's from that alone,
From that point alone, I think the Yankees would be
one just from the love of that On top of that.
(39:19):
Let me let me let me restart that the chance
that they have to win will be number one. There,
they're right there. They have a chance to get right
back to that same spot. So that would be that
would be one he wants to win. Number two, the
adoration that he got in New York he won't get
anywhere else. I'm telling you, those people really relate to him,
(39:39):
So that number two and number three, they're they're gonna
empty the tank to get him. They've already released players,
they've already made some space to clear some space for
them to make that purchase. And so I don't think
I mean, obviously if they go the highest better, I
don't think they could be the highest bidder, but they
will be right there. So if you're talking about Scott
(40:01):
Bors coming to play for that, I don't think Scott
Bores will be able to sway him away from Yatta
racing in the love. So that's what I'm hoping.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
That's the question.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Obviously, you've got Boston just up the road right geographically,
you could go, take a train, You're there in a
couple hours. You go. You got the Mets. Yes, and
we know Cohen is going to be a big buyer here.
Some scenarios, all right, pet Alonzo ends up a Yankee,
Soto ends up a met You've got the Dodgers out here.
Everybody always wonders crazy stuff. Well, because you've got the
(40:37):
next Japanese pitcher who might enter the fray in Sasaki. Right,
So like all of that to say, you've got a
lot of moving parts, and it's just curious to see
how much after last year's disasters, guys signing late, struggling
for chunks of the campaign. Now Blake Snell ended up
having a great, great year, and he's got had his
two and one option out, and you know, buyer beware
(40:59):
when he's on a contract here, really really good.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
When he's not, maybe not.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Montgomery called the worst contract ever by the diamondback Zoner
after what they did. So wonder if a little of
the luster isn't off boris that way? But for Juan Soto,
do you want to win? Is that first and foremost?
Or is it for a few dollars more? We'll find
out soon enough. He's carry on, Mike Hey, turning our
attention to the NFL Next

Speaker 2 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Great eggs and welcome in a beautiful Friday night action
packed We've got the Emirates Cup up and going in
the NBA. For some of the teams, they are their
first go round with all the eclectic courts. I got
on the bad side of the NBA by correcting their
spelling mistakes in one of their posts from earlier today,
(00:50):
so we've got that going for us. Smith is off
tonight in his stead. Our guy Carrie Rhodes steps in.
What's going on? We got Tyson and Paul coming up.
We got Wemby and Anthony Davis. Nobody can play defense.
They're just running up and down and scoring on each other.
All sorts of chaos. Brother, how are you man?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It's good. You know, it's been a while since I've
been in this chair with you, so excited to be here.
Even though it's the long the long one, the long night,
which you love. I'm excited for this, well.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
The four hours.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Everybody gets all nervous about when they do, and it's like, what,
it's just another day here. It's like I more content,
more opportunity to go as we go on. We got
pete utech mark Stein will join US college Football and
the National Basketball Association, respectively. We've also got some college
football going on. I know they had a Warcraft game.
(01:40):
That's the theme going on with the game in Washington.
So we have that, so all sorts of chaos, But
we start with the event of events, and we love pageantry,
we love the pomp and circumstance, and we've got it.
You don't have to love the actual event, right, That's
the thing. Got to try to wrap my arms around it,
(02:00):
like all of it. Right, Because if you and I
sit here and we talk about where we're at in
the NFL after ten weeks, if I said, on the
normal grade scale, not inflated like we do it now, ABCDF,
for the NFL, where would you grade the quality of
play for the league as a whole?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The quality of play would be a D for me.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Right, So yeah, but we're still watching in crazy ass numbers, right,
so we will still watch bad products, and we may
get a terrible product coming up with this Mike Tyson,
Jake Paul fight. It could absolutely be a train wreck.
They could both look at each other, start break dancing,
and walk out of the ring together saying we got paid. Right,
(02:41):
people on Netflix on the apps, there's been some lag
and some issues, so demand is pretty strong. Why cause
how many households already pay for Netflix?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I got it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
It's it's not an added cost, right, Yeah, normally when
we talk about fight night and let's get excited.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
It's fifty nine nine nine sev nine ninety.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Nine whatever, or I got to go to a bar
where I may have to pay a cover fee, all
all of those things to wait. I already have Netflix
because I watch Cobra Kai or I watch whatever else
that's right, Like you Cobra Kai, uh, Cobra COTTI actors
in the house. So all you guys that always complains
like why does Fox have those people at the World series?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Well, Netflix had the guys from Cobra Kai.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And all there they representation.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Shut up it's all about branding. But the point is
that we've talked more about even if you don't want
to call it boxing, if you just want to call
it an exhibition, we've talked more about this than we
have since the what four years before Paquiao and Mayweather
actually got into a ring, when it was still a.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Could they ever do it?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
So everybody wins regardless of how this finishes.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yeah, you say that, you say everybody wins. Everybody's not
gonna win. Somebody's going to lose tonight. And for me,
it's Tyson and because obviously the image that he has
has already been you know, an up and down when
Autopsy Turvy one, you know, it's a wild ride with
Tyson all the time, and we expect that at his age,
(04:13):
boxers don't do well. We already know that. So for me,
it's it's what you just said. It's a spectacle. And
I'm not a spectacle guy. A lot of people are,
and I think the world as a whole is. I'm
a respectable guy. So when you talk about respectable, spectacle
or respectable, I'm a respectable guy. So are we ever
(04:35):
as humans on this planet ever gonna get back to
being respectable. For me, the the divide that we have
in our world is that like everybody's trying to make
the dollar, which is you need it. You need to
sustain your your lives in this life right now, it's
it's a it's a hard time. But when does it
(04:56):
become too much? And that's always the question for me.
You gotta you gotta, you gotta stand for something. What
do you stand for as a human? And that's why
that's why I have the divide when I watch this stuff. Well,
but it becomes that how much is enough?
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
And you can go back to your profession years in
the National Football League.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
You never said, hey, I'll take less because I want
to help others stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
No, but my point is that it wasn't a well,
you know, I'm already making insert whatever dollars. You all
can go and google what what you think carry rhoads
might might have made, it might be worth. But it's
like for most folks, they'll never see, you know, one
hundred thousand dollars in their respective bank account versus a
(05:38):
million dollars. Where's that divide?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
When we start talking about athletes and money, nobody's saying, hey,
give it back. No, I'll take half because you know
what I got enough. Come on, well, so no, Mike,
that's not true. I mean there are some players that
take pay cuts to help their teams win.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
That that's not going somewhere else. I'm telling me that.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
No, I'm telling you, okay, Like, think about Tom Brady
and his plan. I know he made stuff on the side.
We were talking about his perspective jobs.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Sure, but it's all tied together, and he recognized that
the brand of Brady wasn't just for sure on the field,
it was if he wins on the field, everything else flows.
And he also had a wife at the time making
fifty million dollars a year, So Tom Brady doesn't count.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
He's a live No.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
He's always the specious argument when people say, well, this
quarterback or that quarterback's like, they don't have the same
circumstance that.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Tom Brady did.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And in the end, Tom Brady still made what two
hundred million dollars as a quarterback in the that so
he did fine even taking less. He was still getting
fifteen to eighteen million dollars a year.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Played a whole long long time too make up for that.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
But again, it goes to that same point of all right,
one year of that is lifetimes for millions of people. Sure, right,
so in terms of enough in giving back or whatever,
but you generally don't go and even we talk about
these deferred contracts, we'll get Intojan Soto a little bit
later on. It's the the idea of you know, you'll
(07:08):
eventually get in your cash now. Scott Boris is probably
gonna have something to say about it because he wants
his now. So that's that's where that kind of hiccup
goes when people start going down that philosophy. But the
respectable part of you know, from Mike Tyson, look, the
big bad bully can still mess you up. I think
we can all agree to that. Looking at whether he
(07:29):
can message Jake Paul up tonight, there's a whole other thing.
But to you know, Joe, Joe and Johnny Public, they
don't want to see him walking walking their direction with
a pissed off looking at the place. But from Mike Tyson,
let's face it, since Buster duckla Is, it's not Mike Tyson, right,
So anybody doing this legacy nonsense and all that argument
(07:53):
that left a long ass time for a million different
reasons that's been gone. So if you can get another
pay like you saw, I mean, we played it yesterday,
that that clip he had with the young lady Jazzy
and talking about death and legacy and whatever else. Legacy
is what someone else is gonna make of it. For him,
all right, it's a payday. Maybe he helps some people
(08:14):
out with that money. Maybe maybe maybe he's already got expent.
I don't know, But in the head, you know, he's
a grown ass man unless someone's not, unless someone's compelling.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Him to go in the ring. I'm a big believer.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Of until someone actually rips the jersey off of you,
I'm not gonna be the guy to do it right
until the contract offers don't show up anymore. You've gone
to any other tryouts, football, basketball, bait, whatever it is.
The arm doesn't work anymore, the legs don't have the
quick twitch motion. Boxing, you're too slow, So you're getting
your ass handed to you. So nobody's gonna clear you
(08:49):
medically or insurance or whatever. But until that happens, if
that's what's gonna make you happy, go do it. And
that goes for any walk of life beyond our Sporting Ground.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I got a question. So as far as this this
fight goes, they still had to clear him, right, Yeah,
so he still was clear.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
You still got to go through a lot of that,
and we all can, I think reasonably understanding many many circumstances.
Again owing back to your you know, former call to
the National Football League, whether you should have been back
out a field at times? Was not you the collective
view might have been in question. Wow, that was a
(09:26):
really great trip to the tent, right, and we still
see it now even with all the would be advancements
and safety protocols that we're still there carry. So so
for me, I'm all in on this, you know, because look,
everybody's getting fed.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You know. The crazy part about that is the I
would say the I would say the silver lining here
or the positive side of what it could be here
is my little nephew text me and said he's watching
the Tyson fight. I was like, the Tyson fight? How
do you? How do you you know about that? So
that part just the awareness of once greatness, it's kind
(10:06):
of a cool thing to kind of see.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, if nothing else, you know, for folks, whatever this
becomes right, the over unders five and a half rounds.
Everybody's getting paid Tops and we'll talk about Tops a
little bit later because they factor in they produced the
Tops Now series. Panini does the same thing with their
instant so it commemorates big moments in our pop culture
(10:28):
and sporting events. Depending on which licenses you have, you
do different things. But you know, going back to the Olympics,
Tops did a special with Lebron James, Steph Curry and
Kevin Durant, all three of them on the same card,
and you had the if you bought one five you
can buy him in different packages a little discounting. If
you bought more, the opportunity potentially to get either a
(10:51):
numbered parallel so different color scheme and number out of
serially numbered to forty nine ninety nine, or one of
one but also randomly inserted autographs. They sold five hundred
and eighty eight thousand of those people. The one on
one autograph still has in surface, so we're still waiting
for someone to open all their packages and see where
(11:13):
it comes up. But the Tyson Paul fight, they already
started pre selling those with the chance of autographs. I
can't wait to see the final print run. Wow, because
it's gonna be immense because you've got the silo of
Paul fans. And let's face it, he's not a guy
that just decided to throw some gloves on. There's some
fights here. Yeah, and look, I'll let the masters of
(11:35):
the pugilistic arts tell me how good or bad?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
No, because I mean, look, that's it. It's like a
pure again.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
The health of boxing is always the thing people want
to fight about. How healthy boxing? Like, yes, this is
a mainstream thing that everybody kind of wrapped their arms
around that boxing card down the street. That true fight fans,
as everybody declares themselves get it's like hockey fan like
they get really mad about and territorial and that's right.
(12:05):
But you know what, when something like this happens, welcome
everybody in. And for your nephew, for people that younger folks,
there's an opportunity to be educated. Here's some old Mike
Tyson footage.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, because you could.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Show every one of his first three years fights while
he walks to the ring, because they were about twenty
seconds over.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Right, here's your history lesson Bama. Wait, was it was
that all won?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Upon?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
It was like nope, that was a line of guys.
But it's just the idea. For me.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I just like the the bringing together of folks for
an event. And look, it's exhibition, it's boxing. It's slightly
wwe which we had in the little press conference. Oh
you stepped on my foot, I slap you, But it
got more people talking, right KFI or a big news
(12:55):
station here in Los Angeles, they were talking about it.
Experts on to talk about the build up to this
and boxing history and who Mike Tyson is for folks
just coming to the to the table now. So for
me it's you know, I'm and look, the longer these
guys fight, play football, whatever else, the less I feel
(13:16):
like an old man. So so long, Mike. When Brady retired,
I might have shed a tear. As bad as Aaron
Rodgers is playing.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Oh don't why you have to say that, because he's.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Gonna be forty one and what fifteen days? Right, But
as long as he plays, I ain't that old.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
You're relatively young.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
It's all relative. It's all relative hairs thinning. Maybe you
have crept away in different spots, but so long as
they're still out there, I don't feel so old. Hey,

(13:53):
buying should be. I should also say this, I am.
I'm not betting the fight. I didn't bet it. Sure,
I have no monetary sure Marston said fight unless I
think I hold Netflix stocks under a mutual fund.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
But beyond that, I got nothing.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Okay, But you know it's.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
You seem slightly offended by this.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I do get offended by it. The quality matters to me, Okay,
quality matters and everything. Like I I want to be
you know, I want to be a stand up guy.
I want others to feel that way. I want people
to really take pride in what they do. You take
pride in what you do on the mic every day,
Like you come to work and you're really invested in.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
With my Hamburglar T shirt, I'm ready to go, You're
ready to go, like I want that.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I don't want to be duped or fooded by anything
or anybody. And that's what I feel like. I feel
like it's a big dupe and I know it may
be exciting, which I'm sure it might be. It's just
not real.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
It feels like a con.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
It feels like like Hugh Jackman's gonna come out and
start singing to you.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Ladies, And exactly.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I was really waiting for our guys to start backgrounds
and they failed me. But but no, I I understand
that part of it, and I guess for me, I'm
accepting it for what it is. That it is as
much P. T. Barnum and a side show and a look.
They may walk out into the ring and it might
be ding ding and they dance.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Around, well, they could break dance, or they could do.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
The Rocky and and Apollo and dance around for a
little bit, and then all of a sudden, all right,
they're both throwing blows. So I mean, there's there's a
million ways by which this could go in any direction.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Man.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
You might have a third guy come in with a chair,
I don't know, and all of a sudden it leads
into a w D.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
You're going to undertake music or something coming up.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Now you're now you're talking, and then all of a sudden,
you know, hell and a cell boom there they are
or are suddenly they're part of war games. I don't know,
I mean, but it's it's just the the idea of
there's so many there's so few things even in sports
and entertainment that really cut through. Because there's a lot
(16:15):
going on. College football, college basketball has started. Our guy
Doug Gottlieb got his first win the other night. Right,
you've got the Emirates Cup going on, so we've got
we had a hell of a game going on, Lakers
and Spurs, like all of those things. To say, we
got another big slate of the college football calendar. We've
got the NFL Week eleven and plenty of teams that
(16:35):
we decided what's going on, and including four or five
monster games right at least at least on paper here
in week eleven. And then yet this still cut through
to the masses on all the daytime talk shows. Like
I said, KFI is a new station and they play
Little grab Ass Friday night. It's drive time Tim Conway
Junior getting after it, but he's talking about the fight,
(16:57):
like where are you watching it, how you watching it,
what do you expect to see? And so like when
it starts doing that and getting those spidering effects like
I like to call it it's because we like to.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Do a story. But then it's how many layers can
we do?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Right here, it's how many tentacles we got and if
it's breaking through towards not just at whatever. It's Mike Tyson,
Jake Paul over on Netflix. But everybody's picking up on
this as a big event. How much at least watch.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
How much of it is? How much is it of
people wanting to see Paul lose?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Oh yeah, everybody wants to see his ass.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
No, there's no no, there's hate watching even if they
don't know anything about it. He's just he represents this
whole YouTube influencer, this whole nebulous evil as like, because
there's content creation of whatever music, right, you do music
(17:56):
and we're calling it art whatever, whereas folks, you know, hey,
AI write me this and then I sing to it
or whatever, you.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Know what I so see, I just hit you where
you live right there? I just Mike.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Tyson your ass right nineteen eighty five style, So like it.
It's just that kind of thing, right where you're working
hard and you're crafting, and then you've got folks that
with a little bit of technical wizardry or maybe a
producer that's got the know how about to go from
A to B to C. That it's it's no longer
that craft these short cuts as it were. Yes, and
(18:31):
that's where what I think Jake Paul represents for a
lot of people here. Yeah, and as a collective, they
they're putting their strength behind Mike Tyson with their five
dollars wagers because all the big money came in on Paul.
Did you say, wait, I can I can make some
money even it's like, you know, the heavy favorite like
this week, Detroit's a fourteen point favorite on Jack Jacksonville.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
You can pat the money line. You're not making a
lot of money, but you know what, you feel pretty good.
You're going to catch the ticket, probably get a cash.
I take it all right, carry out.
Speaker 3 (19:00):

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Ratings and welcome back in Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith
Show with Me by Carbon alongside My Got Carrie Roads.
There's no Jason Smith tonight. He's a ghost. He's evaporated.
Maybe he's out. Maybe he went to AT and T
Stadium to go watch the Tyson Paul fight live.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
You think he went.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
No, No, I think he's got some family stuff. It
is the holiday holiday, holiday season, and you know kids
and their their activities. So I believe little play action
going on. Okay, so you know, getting getting the acting
bug hanging around with he and I running lines off
(20:37):
each other all the time on Fox Sports Radio. I
think rubbed off a little bit, So good luck to them.
Carry in with me here tonight. You hear him Sundays
alongside Dan Bayer part of Red Zone Radio as they
break down the afternoon games live and in living color
and whatever they saw, the good, the bad, the ugly
for the early games each and every week. As we
(20:57):
roll on here, we've got the Emirates Cup underway here,
the NBA Fantastic finish a little bit earlier in the
night as we were yammering on about Paul and Tyson
and we're eagerly awaiting that matchup to.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Get rolling here.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
But we have the the Lakers with a one twenty
one point fifteen final over the Spurs. Big night for
Lebron James. Another triple double for him, So that's four
in a row. Anthony Davis had forty. He put up
forty against Wemby. Now he gave you a couple of
scary moments when he banged knees. I was like, I
(21:36):
don't know, he's gonna go down Like no, He's like,
I can't go down to the court because they'll be
mad at me. So he kept playing. I kept battling along.
But one of the stories that caught my eye here,
and it's not just me wanting to bash the Jets.
Do you think I want to talk about the Jets
when Smith isn't here? No, No, I really don't. I
do enough of that most days of the week. But
(21:58):
you're in a unique position from a million different ways.
Not only were you part of that organization, part of
the Cardinals organization, but also just the idea of the
process leading up to game day, the film review, the
practice field and all of the things.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
That roll through.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
A story that hit my eyes comes from coach Jeff Ulbrick,
your new coach in the post Robert Soliday, and it
almost said salad days, Robert Solidays trying to get things
righted and we had well some issues related to one
of the presentations. He decided to do sauce guard, taking
(22:36):
some exception to the coach's tactics.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
We know how to tackle, you know how to tackle.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
We got to make the tackles.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
That's really it. We've been doing it. We've been doing
it simple. We really don't need no presentation, do you know.
I know where he was coming from when he did it.
But us as professional athletes, we got to be able
to make tackles me included for sure.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Now a difficult game this last week going up against
the Arizona Cardinals, where they claimed twenty was the unofficial
number of mistackles.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
So if your coach were to.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Come in and like, it's one thing to point out plays, yep,
But if he comes in and says, all right, here's
the super super cut of all the mistackles and let's
go through your assignments and what you didn't do?
Speaker 5 (23:16):
How well is that going over at the locker.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Room first and foremost? Did they have enough time to
practice after because that would have been a lengthy session,
is what I'm trying to tell you. It was bad.
I watched a little back game because it was on
while we were here. I was like, what are they doing?
So saw saying they didn't need the presentation. They need
the presentation. And the thing about playing football and playing
(23:40):
any sport or doing anything in life, there's repetition that
needs to happen to be good at it. Obviously they
haven't done that enough. So I know for a fact,
and the old the olden days, what I played the
old days?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Hey, you want to play Jason's music for him?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Shirt? And the olden days, if you weren't doing something good,
you would practice that thing to get better at it.
So it doesn't matter if you're pro, doesn't matter if
that's your moniker. You haven't been playing like a pro.
So we need to get back to the basics to
get you back to that point. So the presentation was needed,
(24:19):
and for Sauce in particular, he should have been happy
that the presentation happened. He's been atrocious at tackling this year,
so for him to say he's the one that shouldn't
be talking about the tackling presentation.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
But he's Sauce Gardener, He's untouchable.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
No, he is not untouchable. He's not touching anything.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
But there it goes back. Man, we talk about fundamentals, right.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I asked you to give a letter grade in our
first segment for those that missed it. As we're talking
about spectacle of sport and what we bring our eyeballs,
our dollars, and our attention to right. Our greatest gift
are the biggest thing we have is our time. Yes,
And we watched the NFL from pillar to post. Tackling
every year gets worse every the fundamentals, Like we watched
(25:08):
who was it was? John news Smith is a play
where he caught an eight yard pass that ended up
being a thirty yard completion down to the one yard
line because four guys went to blow him up instead
of wrapping him and taking him to the ground, Like
what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
What?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
So for Sauce Garter, Like, that's just the extension I
think of what I've been seeing.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
And I gotta.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Imagine you having been on the field, having watched the game.
That's got to infuriate you when you don't see that
effort or the dance down the sideline and like a
half commitment to what you're trying to do.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
That part's the half commitment, because I've missed plenty of tackles.
I've gotten run over, like all the things that anybody has.
You play long enough, ah, it's gonna happen. It happens.
But to say you don't need it because you're a
pro is just a misguided comment. And that part is
the part that represents this jet team to the fullest
(26:05):
this year, all the way through and through. That's actually
nice I put right there. They believe that they're better
than what they are. You're only as good as what
the tape says that week. It doesn't matter what you've
done even prior to that. It's what have you done
that day and what have you done for me lately?
And the last game you all were bad, so you
need a presentation.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yeah, it's a team for a lot of them in
Sauce Garter in particular, resting on the Laurels right, because
he's not the same corner he was tackling aside, not
the same guy. No, they're toothless up the middle, which
has always been a hallmark of Jets football since since
I was a baby. It was let's draft and bring
in a lot of defensive tackles and we're at least
(26:44):
going to be strong against the run.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
That's gone gone.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
And so now you have these circumstances, and I'm from
a league league wide perspective, and again easy for me
to say, I'm sitting here in the studio and watching,
but we've watched enough to where I think we can
reasonably say it. And yes, I've gotten plenty of blowback
from X players before, and that's fine, it's all opinion,
(27:10):
and if I'm wrong, educate me. But it just seems
like those things as part of every subsequent CBA that
we have every agreement to whittle down practice hours and
practice days because you take the easy win from what
the NFL is going to give you versus the hard
fought healthcare and all those other things, that it relates
(27:31):
to a much worse product when we actually get here,
not only in the early part of the season, but
now we're down into the guys that aren't even the
starters in a lot of cases, I sauce is and
you know, decorated veteran whatever. But you've got the drop
off now that it's not even the ones that are
running together. So the fundamentals are even more important now
(27:53):
than they were for the guys that could make up
of it, you know, because they're a list talent.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
The fundamentals are everything all the time, right, And so
if you're getting less practices, if you're not tackling to
the ground in practice, if you're not doing the two
A days, that means the process has to be accelerated
in some way how, how you're not playing in preseason either.
There's no way to really gauge yourself in combat without
(28:20):
going to combat. And that's the part that really makes
me upset when I hear these younger guys talk now
about about the game or how physical it is or
whatever we were in. I'm not the old guy that
said we were in two A days and weal that's
not what I'm saying. But you have to be really
good at your craft, and if you're not doing it
enough to get good at it, you're not going to
be good at it.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
But I do I do.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Remember going and doing training camp tours where two A
days were still a thing, and you were still out
there if you guys weren't satisfied, the coaches weren't satisfied.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Guess what long it went long? Right?
Speaker 3 (28:55):
It was all right, take a water break, kiss your
families goodbye. Who came out to see you getting back
on the field. Yes, receivers, if you had a half
assed practice, you're getting back on the jugs, gun quarterbacks.
You're doing your foot work, yes, and over on the
defensive side. Guys in the trenches you're practicing your steps
and whatever. And the guys in the secondary. Guess what
(29:15):
you're going through the same thing. Guy, hold up the
ball and your back batal into your doing all that, Yes,
and it doesn't stop, like all of that seems to
have gone to the wayside. I'm not trying to say
we walked uphill both ways and whatever else, and and
not trying to speak for you, but I just remember, like, wow,
all right, we're gonna have to cancel the dinner plan
because they're still at work.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Mike, it's it's I just got a flashback you saw that.
I was no, Yeah, I was thinking about two days
and in one hundred and five degrees in Long Buggy,
Long Island, Muggy. Yeah. At Hosta it was hot, it
was terf it was bad.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Offshore was not.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
It was not a great place. No. I love the fans.
The fans were very we're very gracious and brave through
it with us. But it wasn't the best place to
be now.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Yeah, yeah, no, I do recall at Carrie twenty five Roads.

board gets. But in the interim, it's our guy, Steve Disager.
He's got all the latest across the sporting universe.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
I see, hello, gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
We've got a fight, well theoretically coming up in Arlington, Texas.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
I got Rosie Perez previewing.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
It for me.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
We've got a female matchup right now, and then the
finale of the night, Jake Paul against Mike Tyson is listed,
although there have been numerous technical problems between the feed
and the my on the broadcast, et cetera, et cetera.
As one exec tweeted to have Jerry Jones being interviewed
and this fight is taking place in his Dallas Cowboys
(32:09):
stadium tonight. Joan's saying that Nextflix is a huge fartar
our future in the NFL, because.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
You know they got Christmas Games this year.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
It's a three year contract Netflix and the Christmas Games.
Saying that into a mic that doesn't work, and then
less than a minute later the stream goes down. Maybe
it's not good timing on all of this, but yeah, okay,
so two women each about forty years old old, moster
about to start up here that Mike Tyson at fifty
eight comes up. Hey, it's just forty seven to two. Yeah, well,
(32:41):
and this is also two minute rounds right now, and
then Tyson Paul is two minute.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Rounds right it's only two minute rounds.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Eight two minute rounds. Oh my over under five.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
And a half.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
And it's fourteen ounce gloves. So it's it's like Danny
Bonaducci is out there with the sparring. Okay, celebrity boxing.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Tell me you didn't watch Steve when he was beating
the ass off Barry Williams.
Speaker 7 (33:05):
Come on now, I would have stated by Rob Parker that.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
It's it's an expensive what you're saying, Yeah, I don't know, Okay,
it's whatever.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
It's it's the United States of America and they're going
to make a boatload off at congratulations. The promotion expects
seventy thousand in attendance, but that and is calling this
the number one boxing gate outside of Las Vegas in
US history tonight.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Wow, Okay, I'm with you again. I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
The video if I had video, Steve, that was the
best he finished it. And the arms you shut up like,
I don't know what else.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
It just it does qualify as news. It's man bites dog,
but just in an odd kind of way. We've got
actual football going on Fox TV right now. It's Washington
leading UCLA fourteen to three, about a minute to go
till left time, Colorado State ready to go to five,
and oh in the Mountain West leading with ten minutes
(34:11):
to go twenty four to ten against Wyoming, and the
late game on FS one is underway. Arizona at home
leads Houston seven to nothing mid first quarter. We have
two late games in the NBA. Everything else is final.
New Orleans ended a six game losing streak beating Denver
one oh one to ninety four as Nikola Jokic was
out for personal reasons. Cleveland won again fourteen and oh
(34:33):
Orlando won it's fifth straight Oklahoma City and the Lakers
with victories back to you.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
One of the main announcer, Maro Ronaldo. He last worked
at and T Stadium doing WrestleMania oh Man, so you
know he's bringing that to the broadcast.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
There you go, as you go.
Speaker 7 (34:51):
He hosted a reality show on one of the networks
last year as well.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
So we got all that going on.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
Well, who's to say this isn't just a continuation of that.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
That is exactly right and seventy thousand strong packing him
in like sardines merch flying off the shows. Thanks so much, Steve.
He's Carrie Rhoads in for Jason Smith. I'm Mike Carmen.
Coming up next, Silly Season begins Major League Baseball. One
free agent, fresh off of being a little bit salty
of how his season ended, is starting his tour. How
(35:21):
does it end? Where should he end up? We'll talk
about it next year on Fox.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Welcome back in Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith's show with
Mete Mike Carmon No Jason Smith Tonight, Carrie Rhodes, NFL
star musician, actor, man about town. It's our guy at
Carrie twenty five Roads. Where you find him. Check out
everything he's got popping there. Find me over a head,
swollen down. We've got Alex, We've got Patrick. Of course,
(35:59):
we got our guys, Steve Di Saga, Brandon in the
back grabbing us some sound, particularly especially when the sound
actually works coming from at and D Stadium.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Thank you, Jazzy Jazz.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
He's now part of the show, I think forever more
with the greatest tagline that we'll ever have. All Right,
so like you you're You're Yankees guys, I recall. So
so this is gonna hit a little hard. Wan Soto
beginning his free agency tour, and we can put up
all the top ten lists and everything else where should
he go?
Speaker 5 (36:32):
What should he do?
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Will he take a contract structured like show Heyo Tani's
to to get himself multiple world series titles and everything else.
I'm like Scott Boris client okay, number one, yep. So
Scott Boris wants his percentage now, So either Wan SODA's
got to come out of pocket for that or that
(36:54):
kind of structures a no go and I undertain, like
I think it's a fun little conceptual thing. A lot
of debate this week as to whether wan So does
a guy that you go to the mattresses for with
the six hundred million dollar deal, do you make the money?
Does he make you that much substantively better? It's great theater, right, sure.
(37:14):
But he had a meeting with the Red Sox that
evidently went really well three hours plus and and there's
video clips circulating him him talking about his admiration for
the old David Ortiz days and the teams and that
personality that those teams had. And you saw a little
bit of back and forth during the postseason with all
(37:35):
of the the interaction of the X players and guys like.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
Soda, ah, my guy.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I found it interesting, like he was the guy still
sitting in the dugout after the game was done, after
game battles like that.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
That's one that I hang hang.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
A star on, like for other guys like whatever, we'll
see you next season. For him, that seemed to really
tick him off. The way that got away that fifth
inning where everything that could go wrong did And.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
We don't need to relitigate it.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
I don't want to, you know, stick daggers into your
heart as you sit next to me here in the studio.
But it's now that curiosity because historically with Boris clients,
it's all right, who gives me a dollar more. I
do all the research. I show up with my binders
of stats. I tell you how much he adds to
your parking gate, your ticket gate, how many more hats
(38:23):
you're gonna sell, which sizes are gonna be the best
sellers of the hats based on my guy, all of
that stuff. But it strikes me as he may just
be slightly different in that regard.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
I hope, so, I hope so. I know he wants
to win. You just said it, you just stated it.
He was the one that was you could see visibly frustrated, upset, mad,
whatever you want to call him in that moment. That's him.
He really cares about winning the support, the love that
(38:58):
he got in New York, in that Dominican market in
New York. I don't think he will get anywhere else, right,
And so I think from that that's from that alone,
From that point alone, I think the Yankees would be
one just from the love of that On top of that.
(39:19):
Let me let me let me restart that the chance
that they have to win will be number one. There,
they're right there. They have a chance to get right
back to that same spot. So that would be that
would be one he wants to win. Number two, the
adoration that he got in New York he won't get
anywhere else. I'm telling you, those people really relate to him,
(39:39):
So that number two and number three, they're they're gonna
empty the tank to get him. They've already released players,
they've already made some space to clear some space for
them to make that purchase. And so I don't think
I mean, obviously if they go the highest better, I
don't think they could be the highest bidder, but they
will be right there. So if you're talking about Scott
(40:01):
Bors coming to play for that, I don't think Scott
Bores will be able to sway him away from Yatta
racing in the love. So that's what I'm hoping.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
That's the question.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Obviously, you've got Boston just up the road right geographically,
you could go, take a train, You're there in a
couple hours. You go. You got the Mets. Yes, and
we know Cohen is going to be a big buyer here.
Some scenarios, all right, pet Alonzo ends up a Yankee,
Soto ends up a met You've got the Dodgers out here.
Everybody always wonders crazy stuff. Well, because you've got the
(40:37):
next Japanese pitcher who might enter the fray in Sasaki. Right,
So like all of that to say, you've got a
lot of moving parts, and it's just curious to see
how much after last year's disasters, guys signing late, struggling
for chunks of the campaign. Now Blake Snell ended up
having a great, great year, and he's got had his
two and one option out, and you know, buyer beware
(40:59):
when he's on a contract here, really really good.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
When he's not, maybe not.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Montgomery called the worst contract ever by the diamondback Zoner
after what they did. So wonder if a little of
the luster isn't off boris that way? But for Juan Soto,
do you want to win? Is that first and foremost?
Or is it for a few dollars more? We'll find
out soon enough. He's carry on, Mike Hey, turning our
attention to the NFL Next
