You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Monday, the Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I'm not mad, uh huh, I'm just disappointed. Okay, Well,
it would be your team screwed me. I didn't tell
you to bet Nick, they screwed me, because tonight I
know you.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We should be right.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I mean, we still have Mets Dodgers, right, but we
would have had a game seven to where all of that.
I'm fine, I'm fine. I would have been tested on
a high level. Yeah, to say you're laughing Rosberg poking
the bear and Mary just wondering what the hell she
got herself into, and instead they go down like a
(01:10):
bunch of I was gonna use a word, I can't
soft this oft ending.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
This is why I said everything was great, because all
they had to do was get to Saturday, and if
they win Saturday, great, Monday is going to be incredibly
off the hook.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And if they lose, it's over.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, I was gonna say it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's two days ago. It's like we're moving on.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
We had other big things happening, as you said, we
got Mets Dodgers man.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, I know it's it's it's Edmund Bobblehead Day, and
we got.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Don't bring his name up. You see what I did there,
I just brought you back to a world of hurt. Yeah,
we got all kinds of great stuff the next day.
It was two days ago. I can't believe people still remember.
It was just so long ago. Got hard to take
him back to a world of hurt.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh well, I mean, look, it's it's a constant reminder.
We've got it on on four monitors. I might put
it on my iPad just so we have five.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah. Are you gonna make him wear an l on
all five? All five?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So because there's no game tonight now, we've put Mets
Dodgers on every single television.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
In the studios. Me's owner Bubblehead night. It is, yeah, Tommy, Yeah,
you know.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I know I'm telling this to Harmon before he goes
and I walk in Harmon, you know, like like you
can't just come in and say hi, right Harmon's got
to come in and just be a jerk right away.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It was a story.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I go, hey, what's up. I don't even get a hello.
I mean, I go, hey, what's up?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
And he goes.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You know it's Edmund bobblehead night tonight, and like I
wanted to slug him, Like I think if I hit you,
nobody would say go. Because you know, I didn't go
to the World Series, not because of show Hey o Tani,
not because of Freddie Freeman, not because of Mookie Bets.
I didn't go because Tommy freaking Edmund decides ten hits
and ten runs scored, ten RBIs in the NLCS. He
gets a huge fifty million dollar contract because of one
(02:50):
seven day span where a guy plays out of his shoes.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And you wanted to bring that up when you still
had no idea how I was after the Nicks. I
should have hit you. I could have hit you, really,
you could hit you? Were okay after the Knicks? Well,
I because.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Bubble I'm convinced that if you need it had a videotape.
I did say, hello, we exchanged some slight play.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
First thing, you know, Eden bubblehead. First thing is that
out of because his kid was warming up to throw
out the first pitch and.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Commemoration of why is it the first thing you need
to tell me? You don't need to, I know, because
it's about a kid. You couldn't have anything. It's kind
of important. It's not it's not important. It's an important details.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Hell it's important? Is so uh so base?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I mean I was going to an elevated form of conversation.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Hey, you know, and they're going to stick the needle
in your here with the Edmund.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Bobble There's also the fact that on your side, if
HR were to find out about you slugging him for that,
I think they would understand.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, no they would. One time you could have knocked
his lights out.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh he said that. Yeah, this is open and shut.
I'm sorry, mister Harmon, but we'll still validate your parking.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
But don't you love that they had Edmund bobblehead night
for when the Mets are in down, we see.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
What have been going over the last like three minutes,
last three minutes Babblehead night.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, okay, yeah, imagine I needed.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
That's playing in the finals, so like it's all coming
up Smith.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
For over forty years, Tirereck's been helping customers find the
right tires for how what where they drive ship fast
and free back by free Road has a protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerac dot com
is the way tire buying should Jason, Yeah, Frostburg.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Guess what? Yeah, the game started looking everywhere? Man, Yeah,
I need some help. Well, what are you looking for? Justin?
Can I help you with something? What time does the
nickname sir?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Okay, you know, after after the Lakers completely flamed out
and threw up on themselves. Not once did I say
to you what times Laker game tonight? Not once did
I say that to you?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
One time. Oh, winning championships isn't easy.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Not okay, listen, just because you last won five years
ago and we last won fifty two the little bit earlier.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Just a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
It's not like jen Xers are even gonna remember that.
It was on the back of the fish wrap.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
What do you want?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Phil Jackson won for US? Oh really? Yeah? As a player. Yeah,
it was a lot throwing some bonyolo. Did Phil win
when he took over?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
No? No?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Did Phil coach to it? No? No, no, what he
played for that when he took over.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It was one of the worst time ago, except for
it was one of the worst runs.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Uh so that's where we sent right now. Yes, Mets
Dodgers on the way, big Civil War night here. But
let me say, because since you wanted to do the
Knicks and we had the open for the Knicks, and
I'm like, maybe I'm stupid thinking, oh, by the time
we get to Monday night, the game's like two days. No, no, no,
what else are you gonna talk? I I'll tell you
it is a big, big deal. I honestly thought they
(05:51):
were still playing.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Here's maybe they are somewhere kind of disappointed they're not.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Maybe they're playing a scrimmage somewhere and they're teaching Karl
Anthony Towns how to play defense. Maybe that's what sports
and there could be. We got a great pickup game
going again, Lakers have been there for months. They got
to be running the court right now. So yeah, that's
oddat it was the fact that it ends just like
that with you still calm and level headed.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Whatever. We didn't get this game seven.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
The whole thing is, I'm watching the game game six,
and I'm going, this is every reason why I wasn't excited,
why they had to just get to get Look, all
they did was buy themselves an extra couple of days.
They win game three, they win game five. Because I'm
watching everything come home to roost. They can't guard, the
Pacers get open threes, they're making open threes. They can't
keep up with the pace because they're terrible defensively. The
(06:38):
Pacers have what five fast break layups after Nick like,
it was every It was every reason why I like
all these people do one. Social Media coming at me go, oh,
you know not what a real nick figure. No, I'm
just realistic, man. I know how it's gonna end. And
you know what, You'll be better off if you understand
this is how it's going to end. If they win, great,
but understand they're not gonna get over and still as
(07:00):
good as I am right now, and I realize now
i'metting a littleupset. I'm a little little Mikes b litt Man,
I'm a little messed up, a little messed up here. No,
I'm much more okay than I expected because I thought
this is how it's.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Going to end.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
They clearly weren't the better team in this round. Indiana
was one hundred percent was the better team. Clearly they were.
But the one thing that keeps getting every time I
say I'm okay, like I feel like I'm eighty five percent,
but like that fifteen percent from Game one, like that's
never gonna leave like that loss is, and people understand
that loss is going to live for effets simmers under
(07:31):
it again, no one in the history of the NBA
ever blew a loss like that nine points with fifty
seconds left to go. They only go back to ninety five.
But I guarantee you no one did it before because
before there was no three. People didn't make threes like
they No, no, no nobody ever had done that. I mean,
that's never going to go away. Just when I thought, well, eventually,
they'll stop showing the Reggie Miller the chokes saying no, no,
(07:51):
we're just gonna show Halliburton making that shot and the
choke sign and that's gonna just absolutely bleep and live forever.
Like that's just like the Reggie Miller thing is he
makes the shot the three in a row in like
eight and nine seconds, eight points and nine seconds and
the choke sign. Okay and nope, the same thing here.
He makes the shot then does the choke sign, and
that's what I do. Like that is never going away.
Like that is one of those things where it tags
(08:13):
you as a fan and you're like, boom, well I
got it. Oh no, you mean I can't remove the
stinger Nope, but stays in you. It's like when they
track you in one of those sci fi movies and
the trackers say, you can't even cut it out with
a knife.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I gotta cut this out. They know where we are.
That's how they're following us. Cut it out. You's a knife.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
No, there's no, you can't cut that out because that
loss never goes away. Now, last year losing when everybody
got hurt and Denmark hits the miracle three, Okay, you
know what, I could let that go. I mean obviously,
it's but this this one that this stays in. This
is like in my bloodstream. Now, it's like eventually it's
gonna activate because I I've gotten I gotten to my
blood cells now, and I'm mean it's like I'm a
radioactive spider like that that never leaves. That fifteen percent
(08:50):
is always gonna be there. I just have to manage
it now for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well, depending on which message board thread you read, that
might be real. Anyway, Moving on idea, I can't cut
it out. But it got to the point where the
stat that you cited, the layups and fast breaks off
made baskets overran the what was it, thirty to ten
(09:16):
or thirty to twelve fast break margin overall because the
incredulity of how are you falling asleep that poorly after
a made basket to where you don't have the two
seconds to start retreating.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You were show hal Tani against the Yankees falling asleep
after made baskets like you are you are them?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
And hey, I'm out man, I'm off to hit two
home runs.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I Judge gave two home runs and he gave you
what you came though, now the Max Moncie and now,
so it helps to not dwell on it we have
anything like you know, I'm not just gonna sit home
and watch cable television and you know, just be like
Ben Stiller at the end of dodgeball.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I'm just gonna stay eating. Hey, you want something for
the ride home? Here you go, my milkshake, things on
the bunt. Yeah, was that you Saturday night? Be as
far as you know, I want a chicken.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
But I will say because now moving on, right, like
what's next here?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And I'm not.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Knee jerk, I'm not prisoner of the moment, but it's clear.
And I've never seen a team in the Eastern Conference
finals that has had so many flaws exposed, Like you get.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
To, okay, we just missed. Well, retool for next year.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Like you could see that the Knicks were not near
to what the Pacers were any team with any kind
of depth, And you get late in the playoffs and
look at what they did, right, They're rolling guys off
the bench, and Matherin has a couple of incredible games
Mcotton like everybody's contributing, and the pace was just killing you.
And the bottom line is this, The Knicks defense was awful, right,
it was absolutely awful. And no matter how you cut
it up, you can't have Brunson and Towns playing at
(10:39):
the same time. Right, That's what's killed the Knicks because
Towns is a very bad defensive player. Brunson's bad too,
but Brunson's the franchise, right. Brunson's offensively is one of
the top five players in all of the NBA, right,
so he stays.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Town's the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
The experience with Karl Anthony Towns, it was fine, but
it wasn't quite what was expected. And I said this
all through the series, but if they lose this, this
is gonna be Karl Anthony Towns in one year and
done with the Knicks, simply because they're gonna need some
sort of adjustment to get more athletic, to get better defensively,
(11:13):
to take the pressure off of Jalen Brunson, and he's
the guy that's gonna bring the most back in turn,
because Karl Anthony Towns is a really talented player, right,
But that combination of him and Brunson, it's just not
gonna work, right, So that's why they had to put
Mitchell Robinson in the starting lineup. So this offseason he's
gonna be dangled out there. And if the fit was great,
I would say, well, they'll figure things out and go.
But you already have anunobian Bridges who are really good
(11:36):
perimeter defenders, and still the Knicks looked like they were
running in mud the entire time because you need that
big guy, You need that big download that can be athletic,
that can help take the pressure off, and you just can't.
You simply just can't have both of them in the
lineup at the same time. Brunch is not going anywhere.
So it's gonna be Town, whether it is Yannis, whether
it's somebody else, whether it's a trade for a more
(11:57):
athletic big or or a playmaking forward and a and
a lesser role player because you need other guys off
the bench. But I'll tell you what if I go
to Vegas right now, but all my chips middle and
say this is how the Knicks fix it. Tim stays here.
They are, they weren't the best team. They gotta get better.
They gotta break up the big five that they have.
And Town's is gonna bring the most in return. He's
(12:17):
gonna get Delta in the offseason, the nets that the
Knicks are gonna bring in, a playmaking forward, someone's gonna
be able to be better down low, potentially somebody off
the bench, which is you know, that's something you could
do in free agency. But Karl Anthony Towns is going
to be the big ticket moved to bring mostly what
they need.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
He's gonna be a really good franchise player for a
bottom rolling squad because you're gonna get a bunch of
parts and a would be superstar in return, because all
of the hey, he's gonna go to Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
If I'm Milwaukee, I'm gonna reset with that.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Well, he give me, give me a guy that's a
two way threat in every way shape and for him
and Yannis and yeah, let's bring back a guy that
is a defensive liability that No, and we're old and
we're gonna bring in a guy.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
No, this does not work.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So he's gonna end up in the nether regions for
one of these top up and coming guys that hasn't
gotten his second deal yet, plus a couple other parts.
Because depth is the name of the game here. And
as much as you may like the offensive game and
his ability at times like that twenty point fourth quarter
is as good as it gets, that's too sporadic, and
(13:21):
the inability to close out on the perimeter absolutely got
exposed time and time and time again. I'm telling you
that Karl Anthony Towns is the guy that's gonna go
and it will happen.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Frostburg.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Quick question for you, because I didn't look up and
I missed it. What did Francisco Lindor do when he
came up? I loved, there's an actual MLB he hit
a home run? Nothing, Oh, Lindor hit a home run
to start the game. Oh, he's get lucky. But there's
a rule in MLB. I don't know if you heard this.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Oh yeah, okay, you have to spaw the Mets four
runs when they come to your family.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Okay, well with nobody. They are already winning one nothing
in a runner on first, nobody out. Maybe we get
to four in this inning.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That could happen.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
On it could happen this guy. I mean, if he
wasn't a met, he would in the ground. That didn't
do a double play.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But well, I mean look, I mean obviously you know
one Soto's gonna do one Soto things.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I mean, may put it there for him and hit
it over, so it would have been three to nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Ookay, not my false set of a home run. It
was a double play.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But yes, Metsley, the Dodgers won nothing as they continue
to bat in the.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Top of the first inning.
Speaker 1 (14:31):

(16:51):
the dailies defon Diggs drama. Saquon Barkley's on the cover
of the New Madden and Dion Sanders decided, well, you
know what, things aren't going well enough for my son,
you know, trying to win a quarterback job. I'm going
to say how ridiculous it was that all the stories
that came out about how he was unprepared for interviews
during the draft process, wearing headphones into interview with other teams.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That's ridiculous and that didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Okay, Well, just when you just when you think everything
is put to bed and we're talking about football, Nope,
we get this from Dion about your doors. Sanders joining
us now on the hot Line nobody better than the
Triple Threat that he is. Washington Post, Odyssey one O
five seven, the Fan in Baltimore, everywhere you are with
eyeballs and ear or when you're reading, which is your eyeballs,
(17:38):
and you get what I'm saying, Triple Threat Jason locking
for on Twitter at Jason locking for Jay.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
What's happening?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Man?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
What's going on? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Now? That may?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Did you throw in the one to be podcast one
of that daily podcasts last game? So whatever you want
to call it. Oh there you got on Twitter feed
for now soon on YouTube and who knows after that?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Okay, let's go with that now.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And you started by saying, hey, bet everything you can
on a Francisco Lindor lead off homer tonight, didn't you?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
You said, I'm actually on the I'm a little Dodger's
money line there, and I think that the Mets have
won like twenty five straight games that Mondora's homergn or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Twic's almost Yeah, you could look at that.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
You know obviously two different ways. One he's way way
way way way overdue for that Streek day and or
that streak might never end. So we'll find out in
about three hours, maybe a little less.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, here's the thing, Like, he's hit the home like
only I think Carl Ferrillo for the Dodgers, like in
the fifties, had a longer streak than this. Twenty six
games the Mets have won. And now I'm like, oh,
he's got to hit the leadoff home in the first
where the Dodgers have nine innings to get this back
and win this game. Like why couldn't it be like
in the eighth inning, you know, to give the Mets
like a five to three lead or something like that,
top of the first inning.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
So, okay, we'll see id young.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
All right, so let's start.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You know, what, what did you make of Deon Sanders
waiting on your door and bringing up the whole draft
process again?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I mean, I it's his son, you know, like I,
And he's a very public figure, and he has his
own media platforms. He's a major college head coach, and
we're getting, you know, creeping a little closer into that season,
and so there's going to be appearances he makes and
(19:18):
he's going to be asked about it. And I think
there's a certain part of him that wants to be
asked about him because he wants to lead to the
defense of his son. Difficult thing to litigate in the
media now, because like, he is a Cleveland Brown and
he's one of five quarterbacks on that roster, and this
(19:38):
thing's going to have to sort of play its way
out and we'll see, you know, if he's still there
week one and if he plays there, or where this
saga goes. If you're of the mindset that this stuff
matters or is whatever distraction or whatever you want to call,
(20:00):
which I find that to be kind of ridiculous that,
like the other eighty nine guys on that roster in
the offseason really give a damn what Beyon Sanders says
about his son, who's the third, fourth, or fifth quarterback
on that roster, depending on how you sort it out.
But if you're inclined to believe that stuff matters, then
you know, maybe it will hasten his demisor or give
(20:22):
Shador a little less of a ramp, of a leeway
of of a you know, ramp that he should get.
I think it's going to be a football decision, and
I'm not discounting that kid's ability to make that football
team and play sooner rather than later, because if you
(20:44):
look at their schedule, I think Jill Flacco's got a
world of pain in front of him.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Jason, what are the lines from Mike Grabel? We want
guys to make great decisions. Will the retention of Stefan
Diggs prove to be one for the Patriot?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Yeah? I mean it's kind of an interesting signing. It's
not like he hasn't been bouncing around, right, He's reached
that mercenary stage in his career, and he's worn out
as welcome in a couple of places, and it's clearly
not an offended player anymore. And I'm assuming they did
(21:25):
some homework on him before they brought him in, and
I suspect he'll be given a chance to let this
play out on a football field through the course of
the season. I don't know what the heck he was,
you know, what was going on on that boat. I
don't know that the Patriots really really want to find out,
(21:48):
or that the league does either. I just I don't
know that we're going to ever necessarily find out what
happened there. Rables an established coach and he's got a
lot of jam there and frankly, he didn't have the
jam in Tennessee despite what I thought was some pretty
(22:08):
special coaching jobs where he had the less talent a
lot of weeks, but one anyway. But regardless, you know,
they were shifting around gms, and this is his call.
And he does have a bit of a bully pulplic
from what he did in Tennessee. So if Defon Diggs
is someone who runs a foul of him with any regularity,
then I don't think he's going to have to fight
(22:30):
to get him out of there, even you know, given
that he hadn't been there that well.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
It's just so odd that, like I know it's not
it's been a couple of years now with no Belichick,
but like you think about where the Patriots are right
now to where to where they were for most of
the aughts and the teams, you're like, the stuff that's
happening with New Leeland would never have happened. And yet
like like they're making up for lost time, Like here's
all these crazy stories and bad drafts and and and
(22:55):
and drama with the players and the coaches. It's like,
I don't recognize this team. A few years ago, they
were the model franchise well.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
It's interesting because yes, that they clearly are trying to
climb back from the abyss and Bill Belichick, lord knows,
we've talked about that, like it's hard to look at
him through the prism of you know, the same way
we would have a couple of years ago, three you know,
(23:24):
three or four years ago, and then even Tom Brady,
like there's betting a fair amount of missteps for him.
That's the playing career ended, whether it's the crypto stuff
or we can go through everything going on in the
broadcasting wrong and whether he should be the number one
book yaha, YadA, YadA. Even the roast was somewhat controversial,
and he was a guy who you know, went out
(23:45):
of his way to sort of court none of that
through a long and unprecedented playing career. So it's been
somewhat inglorious for the two be the coach and the
franchise since they all the party.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Fox Sports Radio, Jason smittchew Mike Harmon here alongside us
as he is each and every week our buddy Jason
Lock and for catch him on all your favorite platforms.
As mister Smith laid out at Jason Lock and for
on X as a Central Hub and to jump off
from there one oh five seven the fan in Baltimore
(24:21):
where I pay a visit every.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Week to Bob Hainey and company. So try to create
some chaos there each and every week.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
But as we look ahead, you know all these different
stories circulating. Jason, do you believe in curses? And will
Saquon bark Are you fading Saquon Barkley this year?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I do kind of believe it. I'm kind of I'm
pretty superstitious, and so when something keeps happening, you know
in a certain way, I kind of tend to notice.
It's a pretty good football team. It's just hard to
repeat in general. I mean, let's be clear about that.
(25:05):
Like that, that's I know that we've gotten a little
bit spoiled their sort of we've had our visions cued
by what the Patriots did and then what the Chiefs
did in rapid succession. But that is so far from
the norm. And usually weird things happen the second year,
and you know, you lose a few guys and everybody
(25:26):
gets a little bit over inflated sensel with and it's
just a difficult thing to keep together and do two
years in a Row, So if they fall short, I
think it'll probably have a lot more to do with
just some of the inherent pitfalls that come with that
level of winning and not him being on the cover
of a video game. But like, uh, you know, I
(25:50):
don't think it's going to be like Tayton Hill's bet.
You know, I think it literally kind of ended his career.
But I'm sure there's some superstitious people on that Eagles
front office who you know, probably could have done without this.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Well I look at it like this, Jay is like, Okay,
the Madden curse really, what it's become in the last
years has been kind of an every other year Curseuon
Barkley's been really good basically every other year in his
NFL career.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I mean year, That's all I need. That's all I need. Okay,
I'm backing away. I'm done. I'm backing away. I have
some quad, Yeah, backing away.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Look, what I can see is this with with with
Saquon Barkley. Obviously you don't know what the injury situation
is gonna be.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
It.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Look, the offensive line is massive, they get to do
the touch push still, but you.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Know, teams are now gonna spend Okay, we are now
loading up and and we're gonna load up and we're
gonna make Jalen hurts, but we're gonna make that passing
game beat us. So I can see from the perspective
of yeah, we're loading up for you way more than
we did. Even though as things went on last year,
okay it was new. Now you've had an entire season
off season of tape to look at.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
This is what the Eagle like to do. This is
how we're going to do it.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
So I can see them slowing him down enough and
saying we're just gonna make Jalen Hurts beat us. And
I can see his numbers coming down strictly because of that.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Well, look, I think some regress in there, Like he
can have an amazing season and regress from last year.
You know, there's a lot like Lamar Jackson could do
the same thing. You could look at certain numbers and
say they went down, but then other things went up.
Like to your point about loading the box. Whatever, could
could you know, early down receiving yards for him? Could
(27:33):
could that be way up? You know? Could receiving touchdowns
pick up a little bit? I think that passing game
can continue to evolve, There's no doubt about that. And
I mean, are they going to be able to win
as many games with Jalen Hurts attempting sixteen to nineteen passes?
I mean probably not. But to your point about the
(27:57):
offensive line, I mean that that's very true, and that's
a great starting point. And they do have you know,
legit blide receivers and they do get a lot you know,
out of the tight end position as well, so they
might do it a little bit differently. I also think
that defense, though, is still really a sender. And if
(28:18):
they can help turn people over early in games and
put you to help, you know, help you get in
positions to play with the lead, then guess what, your
your your volume in the run game is still going
to be pretty stout.

Hey o Tawny of Fox Sports Radio because he very
(29:37):
often falls asleep during.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Dodger games too. It's Steve to say, I talk, I
let off the hour. That's how things wit.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
And I'm you're correct about the lindorstat which we have
brought up before on this show from the great Sarah
Langs that when Francisco Lindor Homers. The Mets have won
twenty six consecutive games in the regular season. The record
is twenty nine straight wins by Brooklyn in the early
fifties when Carl Ferrillo homared and a serious note, happy
(30:04):
to mention Sarah Langs tonight of all nights, because it's
lou Garrig Knight across Major League Baseball and she is
going through her owns battle well.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
And they have a big deal they did with top
trading cards.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
They did, and you can see Luke Garreg on the
cards along with current stars.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
And they're gonna have a player from each team autograph
and go up for auction on the MLB site to
r raising money.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Fantastic, absolutely so.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
The Mets have the one nothing lead at Dodger Stadium
against starting pitcher Dustin May. Game is in the bottom
of the second. LA shortstop Mookie Betts did not start
again due to his broken toe. He missed all the
weekend games against the Yankees, but he does expect to
return soon, maybe tomorrow against the Mets, who have currently won.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Seven of eight.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
The Twins are out to a six to nothing lead
over the A's bottom of the second inning. In Sacramento,
Luis Severino has given up the six as the as starter,
and It's Padres a Giant scoreless in the b h
the third. The Giants with a good home record of
seventeen and nine. Detroit just a good record period thirteen
to one. The final at the White Sox tonight, Kerry
(31:08):
Carpenter hit three homers. The Tigers record is forty and
twenty one. The angel scored six runs in the top
of the first and held on for a victory at
Boston seven to six, the save to Kenley Jansen. Mike
Trout with a long home run early in fact, three
long balls in the first inning for the Halos. Milwaukee
won its eighth straight game, three to two at Cincinnati,
(31:28):
and the NL player of the Week, Christian Yelich, did
start for the Brewers at dh even though he was
hit by a pitch yesterday suffered a bruised hand not broken.
He hit a solo homer in the win tonight and
Colorado at Miami.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Get your tickets now.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
That was the game with the Rockies trailing four to
one in the second, with Colorado one, six to four
to end an eight game losing streak. Attendance listed at
five thousand and eight. Ninety four winning pitcher Herman Marquez
had been one in seven this season with an ERA
over seven.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Can they win the series tomorrow? Can they win their
first series three game series?
Speaker 7 (32:01):
Yeah, this is a possible thing. They have lost in fact,
twenty two straight series dating back to last year. The
good stat from yesterday once they went to nine and
fifty with yesterday's lost, Colorado the fastest to fifty losses
since eighteen eighty four.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (32:18):
Yankees closer Luke Weaver will go on these that there.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Wasn't the Mets. I know, it wasn't the Mets. You
got tell us this is not the Mets in eighteen
eighty four.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
Team that does not exist, although you know the parallels
with the sixty two Mets are going to be happening.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Well, no, last summer.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Parallel with the with the Cleveland Spiders that disbanded with
a week left in the seasons, Like we've lost too much,
we're done, Like they could break the Spiders record.
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Yeah, yeah, we have to go back to the eighteen
hundreds for a lot of this infamy, shall we say?
Yankees closer Luke Weaver did not pitch last night at
Dodger Stadium, reportedly going to go on the injured list
with a bad hamstring. The Mariners will retire the number
fifty one for both Randy Johnson next year and Eachiro
Suzuki this year. And what a game At the Women's
(32:59):
College World Series semifinals tonight, Texas Tech has eliminated Oklahoma
three to two on a walk off sacrifice fly. This
is the Sooners team that won the last four national titles. Earlier,
Texas won it's semi two nothing over Tennessee. So the
championship series starts Wednesday and it's Texas Tech with their
nil pitcher against the Texas Firs.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
First million dollar softball player, right.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
Former Stanford pitcher got a million bucks to go to
Texas Tech. I think it worked out from a collective,
that's how things work. It seems like it paid off,
no kind of literally.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Do you know what time the Knicks play? Yeah, same
time as the Lakers there we played. I watched that game.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Put it on the Knicks half Giannis though in that game, Well,
we'll give you honest, I'll tell you that the end
of that game, Oklahoma four time defending champ is down
to their final strike. The number nine hitter is up
and a two run homer to tie the game.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Oh and how it sounded too? Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It was insane that moment. I said, Okay, well, now
Oklahm was gonna win it. Nope, Texas Tech walks it off.
How can you not be romantic about softball?
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I screen?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
How do you throw a strike? Unbelievable tournament? So far,
this has been an unreal tournament.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Uh, we got more.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
We'll keep track, We'll keep telling what's going on with
the Mets and the Dodgers, because Mets owner Tommy.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Had been just grounded out to end the inning.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
But coming up next, there's one NBA star that seemingly
everybody thinks can solve every issue on every team next season.
And I'm here to tell you have you not been
paying attention for the last half decade? That's next, Jason
and Mike, this is Fox Sports Radio. Here's my favorite

can Homer every game, every acta no soft in the
(35:30):
second at but one home run tonight Metsley, the Dodgers
won nothing. But no matter what happens in this game,
I don't think we're gonna get anything quite with the
reaction as to what happened earlier today in Major League Baseball,
and this tells us about the play of the day.
For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
(35:50):
Ship Fast and Free backed by free Road, has a
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire

when you look like you could be the worst team
in the history of Major League Baseball and you win
a game, well collectively you get to be the tire
rack dot Com play of the day.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
One to ozer is grounded out to second. They get one,
they'd get two. The Rockies have their tenth win of
the season, and they take game one of this three
game series from the Marlins by a final score six
to four.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
There it is that even so excited the ruck packed
up about it Rockies Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, we wonder we're still ten and fifty. What do
you want from me? I don't know you.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Now, they had a legitimate chance to win a series.
They saw it in front of fifty eight hundred people.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
This translates to a record of twenty and one hundred.
I mean, just so we know that's where you know.
Just I can hear the map you, Jason and Mike.
There are more people sitting in this studio attended that game.
I tell you I saw a photo at first pitch
that hundred people. You just had to shake your head
and wins. Now, they announced nearly fifty nine hundred. Yeah,
(36:54):
that's nobody's buying that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
That's how many losses that the Rockies have this year,
feels it? How are you really?
Speaker 1 (37:00):
You couldn't be so unexcited if you tried, Hey, yeah,
we wont like Harry Doyle in Major League who cares,
nobody's listening, Air's double play and the Rockies winning, okay.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
And'd be some brighton the hell kind of that. I'm
whooping it up like you would not have airhorns.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We got to name it ten double. Yes, there we go.
We're not going to break the seventy six.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
We're not gonna go nine and seventy two and signed
seventy three, the sixers mark from the mid seventies.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
They had won consecutive games once this year, and it
was the end of one series the start of another,
so they've gone without a series win just yet. You're
starting to look for all the prospects, the big week
Major League Baseball prospects, starting to get called up, some
great videos of different guys. That's all you gotta have
in Rocky the trust me. I'm a White Sox fan.
(37:48):
I recognize that very well. Mike, you're a black belt
in the arts of this, no, no question about it.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Fifth degree.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
So we talked about the NBA and it seems like,
you know, after the Knicks are a eliminated, everybody seems
to be on the wavelength that Kevin Durant is going
to solve everybody's issues.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
We'll solve the Knicks issues, We'll solve the Rockets issues.
And to trade for KD. It's not gonna be that expensive.
You can bring him in. He's still an elite scorer.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, let me just let me
just say this, Yes, KD is still a really good,
really perfect player.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
I love KD. Right, I love him, But you are
on Mars.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
If you think KD is coming in, he's gonna take
you over the top, right, roll call the Knicks get KADI.
Yeahs KD an okay, enough defender. Yeah, but the guy's
thirty six. Man, he hasn't led anybody anywhere in six years.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Okay. His legs are like linguine they always have been.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
But yeah, but when you're thirty six into linguini gets
a little bit more waity.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
I mean, it's not as aldente as you want it
to be.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Just saying he was never that was the criticism of
him going all the way back to when he got drafted.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
I've got pooky cards, right, I look at him and
go how he put up numbers?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Right, he put up numbers. But you know what, Karl
Anthony Town's put up numbers with the Knicks, right guy?
And look, they have to move on from him.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
He did. Brooklyn was a disaster.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
He'll he'll make an effort defensively that Carolyn Brooklyn was
a disaster and he had to move on, and then
Phoenix was a disaster.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
He's not done anything. He has put up numbers. Okay,
Like I said, I like KD.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
But you think he's gonna come in and solve your problems,
you're crazy because he's been He's had different kinds of
roles on these team. He's had roles with other super
all stars, with the Brooklyn nets that could never work.
He's got a superstar alongside him in Phoenix and Devin Booker.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Guess what that didn't work?
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
What much thing you think suddenly? Oh, go get KD.
It's happening.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
It's not twenty nineteen. I wish he was twenty nineteen.
I could say, hey, everybody, there's a lot of crazy
stuff coming. But what I would say is this, it's
been six years. It's been six bleep in years. Man,
do you really all of a sudden, yes, go get
KD and suddenly, six years removed from being impacting the
game and impacting teams like he was, it's gonna suddenly
get better.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
No.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
I was born at night, but not last night.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
Man.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I like KD. But to go think he's gonna solve
your problems, you're crazy. It's not happening.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Go back to twenty nineteen. I'd love to hear some
of your rants now, knowing what you know now, it
could be a little different.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Just why we get this Jalen Brunson kid out of Villanova.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
But all of that to say with Durant, Yeah, he's
gonna score, he's gonna play slightly better defense, and depending
on which height that you see listed for him, maybe
he doesn't give up a whole lot. Then get to
cat in that regard. But when you get down to it,
it's not a one for one switch out like what
else is coming along? What else has to be relinquished
(40:32):
to make it happen. I've seen myriad three team, four
team deals like this is the only way this is
gonna work like yes, because they're all going to acquiesce
and give up. And Karl Anthony Towns did not put
a lot of great stuff on tape to say, yeah,
that's our building block and it's not helping things.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Salny Man kd is that's still an elite score. He
hasn't let anybody he's not the missing piece. He's not
the missing Yeah, but he gave us the greatest SoundBite
we use.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Coming up next.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Dion Sanders today he cast some headlines that he probably
shouldn't have spoken.
Speaker 2 (41:03):

Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Monday, the Jason Smith Show with

Speaker 3 (00:37):
I'm not mad, uh huh, I'm just disappointed. Okay, Well,
it would be your team screwed me. I didn't tell
you to bet Nick, they screwed me, because tonight I
know you.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We should be right.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I mean, we still have Mets Dodgers, right, but we
would have had a game seven to where all of that.
I'm fine, I'm fine. I would have been tested on
a high level. Yeah, to say you're laughing Rosberg poking
the bear and Mary just wondering what the hell she
got herself into, and instead they go down like a
(01:10):
bunch of I was gonna use a word, I can't
soft this oft ending.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
This is why I said everything was great, because all
they had to do was get to Saturday, and if
they win Saturday, great, Monday is going to be incredibly
off the hook.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And if they lose, it's over.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, I was gonna say it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's two days ago. It's like we're moving on.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
We had other big things happening, as you said, we
got Mets Dodgers man.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, I know it's it's it's Edmund Bobblehead Day, and
we got.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Don't bring his name up. You see what I did there,
I just brought you back to a world of hurt. Yeah,
we got all kinds of great stuff the next day.
It was two days ago. I can't believe people still remember.
It was just so long ago. Got hard to take
him back to a world of hurt.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh well, I mean, look, it's it's a constant reminder.
We've got it on on four monitors. I might put
it on my iPad just so we have five.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah. Are you gonna make him wear an l on
all five? All five?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So because there's no game tonight now, we've put Mets
Dodgers on every single television.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
In the studios. Me's owner Bubblehead night. It is, yeah, Tommy, Yeah,
you know.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I know I'm telling this to Harmon before he goes
and I walk in Harmon, you know, like like you
can't just come in and say hi, right Harmon's got
to come in and just be a jerk right away.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It was a story.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I go, hey, what's up. I don't even get a hello.
I mean, I go, hey, what's up?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
And he goes.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You know it's Edmund bobblehead night tonight, and like I
wanted to slug him, Like I think if I hit you,
nobody would say go. Because you know, I didn't go
to the World Series, not because of show Hey o Tani,
not because of Freddie Freeman, not because of Mookie Bets.
I didn't go because Tommy freaking Edmund decides ten hits
and ten runs scored, ten RBIs in the NLCS. He
gets a huge fifty million dollar contract because of one
(02:50):
seven day span where a guy plays out of his shoes.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And you wanted to bring that up when you still
had no idea how I was after the Nicks. I
should have hit you. I could have hit you, really,
you could hit you? Were okay after the Knicks? Well,
I because.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Bubble I'm convinced that if you need it had a videotape.
I did say, hello, we exchanged some slight play.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
First thing, you know, Eden bubblehead. First thing is that
out of because his kid was warming up to throw
out the first pitch and.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Commemoration of why is it the first thing you need
to tell me? You don't need to, I know, because
it's about a kid. You couldn't have anything. It's kind
of important. It's not it's not important. It's an important details.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Hell it's important? Is so uh so base?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I mean I was going to an elevated form of conversation.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Hey, you know, and they're going to stick the needle
in your here with the Edmund.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Bobble There's also the fact that on your side, if
HR were to find out about you slugging him for that,
I think they would understand.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, no they would. One time you could have knocked
his lights out.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh he said that. Yeah, this is open and shut.
I'm sorry, mister Harmon, but we'll still validate your parking.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
But don't you love that they had Edmund bobblehead night
for when the Mets are in down, we see.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
What have been going over the last like three minutes,
last three minutes Babblehead night.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, okay, yeah, imagine I needed.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
That's playing in the finals, so like it's all coming
up Smith.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
For over forty years, Tirereck's been helping customers find the
right tires for how what where they drive ship fast
and free back by free Road has a protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerac dot com
is the way tire buying should Jason, Yeah, Frostburg.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Guess what? Yeah, the game started looking everywhere? Man, Yeah,
I need some help. Well, what are you looking for? Justin?
Can I help you with something? What time does the
nickname sir?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Okay, you know, after after the Lakers completely flamed out
and threw up on themselves. Not once did I say
to you what times Laker game tonight? Not once did
I say that to you?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
One time. Oh, winning championships isn't easy.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Not okay, listen, just because you last won five years
ago and we last won fifty two the little bit earlier.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Just a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
It's not like jen Xers are even gonna remember that.
It was on the back of the fish wrap.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
What do you want?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Phil Jackson won for US? Oh really? Yeah? As a player. Yeah,
it was a lot throwing some bonyolo. Did Phil win
when he took over?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
No? No?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Did Phil coach to it? No? No, no, what he
played for that when he took over.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It was one of the worst time ago, except for
it was one of the worst runs.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Uh so that's where we sent right now. Yes, Mets
Dodgers on the way, big Civil War night here. But
let me say, because since you wanted to do the
Knicks and we had the open for the Knicks, and
I'm like, maybe I'm stupid thinking, oh, by the time
we get to Monday night, the game's like two days. No, no, no,
what else are you gonna talk? I I'll tell you
it is a big, big deal. I honestly thought they
(05:51):
were still playing.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Here's maybe they are somewhere kind of disappointed they're not.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Maybe they're playing a scrimmage somewhere and they're teaching Karl
Anthony Towns how to play defense. Maybe that's what sports
and there could be. We got a great pickup game
going again, Lakers have been there for months. They got
to be running the court right now. So yeah, that's
oddat it was the fact that it ends just like
that with you still calm and level headed.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Whatever. We didn't get this game seven.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
The whole thing is, I'm watching the game game six,
and I'm going, this is every reason why I wasn't excited,
why they had to just get to get Look, all
they did was buy themselves an extra couple of days.
They win game three, they win game five. Because I'm
watching everything come home to roost. They can't guard, the
Pacers get open threes, they're making open threes. They can't
keep up with the pace because they're terrible defensively. The
(06:38):
Pacers have what five fast break layups after Nick like,
it was every It was every reason why I like
all these people do one. Social Media coming at me go, oh,
you know not what a real nick figure. No, I'm
just realistic, man. I know how it's gonna end. And
you know what, You'll be better off if you understand
this is how it's going to end. If they win, great,
but understand they're not gonna get over and still as
(07:00):
good as I am right now, and I realize now
i'metting a littleupset. I'm a little little Mikes b litt Man,
I'm a little messed up, a little messed up here. No,
I'm much more okay than I expected because I thought
this is how it's.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Going to end.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
They clearly weren't the better team in this round. Indiana
was one hundred percent was the better team. Clearly they were.
But the one thing that keeps getting every time I
say I'm okay, like I feel like I'm eighty five percent,
but like that fifteen percent from Game one, like that's
never gonna leave like that loss is, and people understand
that loss is going to live for effets simmers under
(07:31):
it again, no one in the history of the NBA
ever blew a loss like that nine points with fifty
seconds left to go. They only go back to ninety five.
But I guarantee you no one did it before because
before there was no three. People didn't make threes like
they No, no, no nobody ever had done that. I mean,
that's never going to go away. Just when I thought, well, eventually,
they'll stop showing the Reggie Miller the chokes saying no, no,
(07:51):
we're just gonna show Halliburton making that shot and the
choke sign and that's gonna just absolutely bleep and live forever.
Like that's just like the Reggie Miller thing is he
makes the shot the three in a row in like
eight and nine seconds, eight points and nine seconds and
the choke sign. Okay and nope, the same thing here.
He makes the shot then does the choke sign, and
that's what I do. Like that is never going away.
Like that is one of those things where it tags
(08:13):
you as a fan and you're like, boom, well I
got it. Oh no, you mean I can't remove the
stinger Nope, but stays in you. It's like when they
track you in one of those sci fi movies and
the trackers say, you can't even cut it out with
a knife.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I gotta cut this out. They know where we are.
That's how they're following us. Cut it out. You's a knife.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
No, there's no, you can't cut that out because that
loss never goes away. Now, last year losing when everybody
got hurt and Denmark hits the miracle three, Okay, you
know what, I could let that go. I mean obviously,
it's but this this one that this stays in. This
is like in my bloodstream. Now, it's like eventually it's
gonna activate because I I've gotten I gotten to my
blood cells now, and I'm mean it's like I'm a
radioactive spider like that that never leaves. That fifteen percent
(08:50):
is always gonna be there. I just have to manage
it now for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well, depending on which message board thread you read, that
might be real. Anyway, Moving on idea, I can't cut
it out. But it got to the point where the
stat that you cited, the layups and fast breaks off
made baskets overran the what was it, thirty to ten
(09:16):
or thirty to twelve fast break margin overall because the
incredulity of how are you falling asleep that poorly after
a made basket to where you don't have the two
seconds to start retreating.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You were show hal Tani against the Yankees falling asleep
after made baskets like you are you are them?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
And hey, I'm out man, I'm off to hit two
home runs.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I Judge gave two home runs and he gave you
what you came though, now the Max Moncie and now,
so it helps to not dwell on it we have
anything like you know, I'm not just gonna sit home
and watch cable television and you know, just be like
Ben Stiller at the end of dodgeball.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I'm just gonna stay eating. Hey, you want something for
the ride home? Here you go, my milkshake, things on
the bunt. Yeah, was that you Saturday night? Be as
far as you know, I want a chicken.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
But I will say because now moving on, right, like
what's next here?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And I'm not.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Knee jerk, I'm not prisoner of the moment, but it's clear.
And I've never seen a team in the Eastern Conference
finals that has had so many flaws exposed, Like you get.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
To, okay, we just missed. Well, retool for next year.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Like you could see that the Knicks were not near
to what the Pacers were any team with any kind
of depth, And you get late in the playoffs and
look at what they did, right, They're rolling guys off
the bench, and Matherin has a couple of incredible games
Mcotton like everybody's contributing, and the pace was just killing you.
And the bottom line is this, The Knicks defense was awful, right,
it was absolutely awful. And no matter how you cut
it up, you can't have Brunson and Towns playing at
(10:39):
the same time. Right, That's what's killed the Knicks because
Towns is a very bad defensive player. Brunson's bad too,
but Brunson's the franchise, right. Brunson's offensively is one of
the top five players in all of the NBA, right,
so he stays.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Town's the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
The experience with Karl Anthony Towns, it was fine, but
it wasn't quite what was expected. And I said this
all through the series, but if they lose this, this
is gonna be Karl Anthony Towns in one year and
done with the Knicks, simply because they're gonna need some
sort of adjustment to get more athletic, to get better defensively,
(11:13):
to take the pressure off of Jalen Brunson, and he's
the guy that's gonna bring the most back in turn,
because Karl Anthony Towns is a really talented player, right,
But that combination of him and Brunson, it's just not
gonna work, right, So that's why they had to put
Mitchell Robinson in the starting lineup. So this offseason he's
gonna be dangled out there. And if the fit was great,
I would say, well, they'll figure things out and go.
But you already have anunobian Bridges who are really good
(11:36):
perimeter defenders, and still the Knicks looked like they were
running in mud the entire time because you need that
big guy, You need that big download that can be athletic,
that can help take the pressure off, and you just can't.
You simply just can't have both of them in the
lineup at the same time. Brunch is not going anywhere.
So it's gonna be Town, whether it is Yannis, whether
it's somebody else, whether it's a trade for a more
(11:57):
athletic big or or a playmaking forward and a and
a lesser role player because you need other guys off
the bench. But I'll tell you what if I go
to Vegas right now, but all my chips middle and
say this is how the Knicks fix it. Tim stays here.
They are, they weren't the best team. They gotta get better.
They gotta break up the big five that they have.
And Town's is gonna bring the most in return. He's
(12:17):
gonna get Delta in the offseason, the nets that the
Knicks are gonna bring in, a playmaking forward, someone's gonna
be able to be better down low, potentially somebody off
the bench, which is you know, that's something you could
do in free agency. But Karl Anthony Towns is going
to be the big ticket moved to bring mostly what
they need.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
He's gonna be a really good franchise player for a
bottom rolling squad because you're gonna get a bunch of
parts and a would be superstar in return, because all
of the hey, he's gonna go to Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
If I'm Milwaukee, I'm gonna reset with that.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Well, he give me, give me a guy that's a
two way threat in every way shape and for him
and Yannis and yeah, let's bring back a guy that
is a defensive liability that No, and we're old and
we're gonna bring in a guy.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
No, this does not work.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So he's gonna end up in the nether regions for
one of these top up and coming guys that hasn't
gotten his second deal yet, plus a couple other parts.
Because depth is the name of the game here. And
as much as you may like the offensive game and
his ability at times like that twenty point fourth quarter
is as good as it gets, that's too sporadic, and
(13:21):
the inability to close out on the perimeter absolutely got
exposed time and time and time again. I'm telling you
that Karl Anthony Towns is the guy that's gonna go
and it will happen.

Frostburg.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Quick question for you, because I didn't look up and
I missed it. What did Francisco Lindor do when he
came up? I loved, there's an actual MLB he hit
a home run? Nothing, Oh, Lindor hit a home run
to start the game. Oh, he's get lucky. But there's
a rule in MLB. I don't know if you heard this.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Oh yeah, okay, you have to spaw the Mets four
runs when they come to your family.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Okay, well with nobody. They are already winning one nothing
in a runner on first, nobody out. Maybe we get
to four in this inning.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That could happen.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
On it could happen this guy. I mean, if he
wasn't a met, he would in the ground. That didn't
do a double play.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But well, I mean look, I mean obviously you know
one Soto's gonna do one Soto things.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I mean, may put it there for him and hit
it over, so it would have been three to nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Ookay, not my false set of a home run. It
was a double play.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But yes, Metsley, the Dodgers won nothing as they continue
to bat in the.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Top of the first inning.
Speaker 1 (14:31):

(16:51):
the dailies defon Diggs drama. Saquon Barkley's on the cover
of the New Madden and Dion Sanders decided, well, you
know what, things aren't going well enough for my son,
you know, trying to win a quarterback job. I'm going
to say how ridiculous it was that all the stories
that came out about how he was unprepared for interviews
during the draft process, wearing headphones into interview with other teams.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That's ridiculous and that didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Okay, Well, just when you just when you think everything
is put to bed and we're talking about football, Nope,
we get this from Dion about your doors. Sanders joining
us now on the hot Line nobody better than the
Triple Threat that he is. Washington Post, Odyssey one O
five seven, the Fan in Baltimore, everywhere you are with
eyeballs and ear or when you're reading, which is your eyeballs,
(17:38):
and you get what I'm saying, Triple Threat Jason locking
for on Twitter at Jason locking for Jay.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
What's happening?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Man?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
What's going on? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Now? That may?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Did you throw in the one to be podcast one
of that daily podcasts last game? So whatever you want
to call it. Oh there you got on Twitter feed
for now soon on YouTube and who knows after that?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Okay, let's go with that now.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And you started by saying, hey, bet everything you can
on a Francisco Lindor lead off homer tonight, didn't you?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
You said, I'm actually on the I'm a little Dodger's
money line there, and I think that the Mets have
won like twenty five straight games that Mondora's homergn or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Twic's almost Yeah, you could look at that.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
You know obviously two different ways. One he's way way
way way way overdue for that Streek day and or
that streak might never end. So we'll find out in
about three hours, maybe a little less.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, here's the thing, Like, he's hit the home like
only I think Carl Ferrillo for the Dodgers, like in
the fifties, had a longer streak than this. Twenty six
games the Mets have won. And now I'm like, oh,
he's got to hit the leadoff home in the first
where the Dodgers have nine innings to get this back
and win this game. Like why couldn't it be like
in the eighth inning, you know, to give the Mets
like a five to three lead or something like that,
top of the first inning.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
So, okay, we'll see id young.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
All right, so let's start.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You know, what, what did you make of Deon Sanders
waiting on your door and bringing up the whole draft
process again?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I mean, I it's his son, you know, like I,
And he's a very public figure, and he has his
own media platforms. He's a major college head coach, and
we're getting, you know, creeping a little closer into that season,
and so there's going to be appearances he makes and
(19:18):
he's going to be asked about it. And I think
there's a certain part of him that wants to be
asked about him because he wants to lead to the
defense of his son. Difficult thing to litigate in the
media now, because like, he is a Cleveland Brown and
he's one of five quarterbacks on that roster, and this
(19:38):
thing's going to have to sort of play its way
out and we'll see, you know, if he's still there
week one and if he plays there, or where this
saga goes. If you're of the mindset that this stuff
matters or is whatever distraction or whatever you want to call,
(20:00):
which I find that to be kind of ridiculous that,
like the other eighty nine guys on that roster in
the offseason really give a damn what Beyon Sanders says
about his son, who's the third, fourth, or fifth quarterback
on that roster, depending on how you sort it out.
But if you're inclined to believe that stuff matters, then
you know, maybe it will hasten his demisor or give
(20:22):
Shador a little less of a ramp, of a leeway
of of a you know, ramp that he should get.
I think it's going to be a football decision, and
I'm not discounting that kid's ability to make that football
team and play sooner rather than later, because if you
(20:44):
look at their schedule, I think Jill Flacco's got a
world of pain in front of him.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Jason, what are the lines from Mike Grabel? We want
guys to make great decisions. Will the retention of Stefan
Diggs prove to be one for the Patriot?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Yeah? I mean it's kind of an interesting signing. It's
not like he hasn't been bouncing around, right, He's reached
that mercenary stage in his career, and he's worn out
as welcome in a couple of places, and it's clearly
not an offended player anymore. And I'm assuming they did
(21:25):
some homework on him before they brought him in, and
I suspect he'll be given a chance to let this
play out on a football field through the course of
the season. I don't know what the heck he was,
you know, what was going on on that boat. I
don't know that the Patriots really really want to find out,
(21:48):
or that the league does either. I just I don't
know that we're going to ever necessarily find out what
happened there. Rables an established coach and he's got a
lot of jam there and frankly, he didn't have the
jam in Tennessee despite what I thought was some pretty
(22:08):
special coaching jobs where he had the less talent a
lot of weeks, but one anyway. But regardless, you know,
they were shifting around gms, and this is his call.
And he does have a bit of a bully pulplic
from what he did in Tennessee. So if Defon Diggs
is someone who runs a foul of him with any regularity,
then I don't think he's going to have to fight
(22:30):
to get him out of there, even you know, given
that he hadn't been there that well.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
It's just so odd that, like I know it's not
it's been a couple of years now with no Belichick,
but like you think about where the Patriots are right
now to where to where they were for most of
the aughts and the teams, you're like, the stuff that's
happening with New Leeland would never have happened. And yet
like like they're making up for lost time, Like here's
all these crazy stories and bad drafts and and and
(22:55):
and drama with the players and the coaches. It's like,
I don't recognize this team. A few years ago, they
were the model franchise well.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
It's interesting because yes, that they clearly are trying to
climb back from the abyss and Bill Belichick, lord knows,
we've talked about that, like it's hard to look at
him through the prism of you know, the same way
we would have a couple of years ago, three you know,
(23:24):
three or four years ago, and then even Tom Brady,
like there's betting a fair amount of missteps for him.
That's the playing career ended, whether it's the crypto stuff
or we can go through everything going on in the
broadcasting wrong and whether he should be the number one
book yaha, YadA, YadA. Even the roast was somewhat controversial,
and he was a guy who you know, went out
(23:45):
of his way to sort of court none of that
through a long and unprecedented playing career. So it's been
somewhat inglorious for the two be the coach and the
franchise since they all the party.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Fox Sports Radio, Jason smittchew Mike Harmon here alongside us
as he is each and every week our buddy Jason
Lock and for catch him on all your favorite platforms.
As mister Smith laid out at Jason Lock and for
on X as a Central Hub and to jump off
from there one oh five seven the fan in Baltimore
(24:21):
where I pay a visit every.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Week to Bob Hainey and company. So try to create
some chaos there each and every week.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
But as we look ahead, you know all these different
stories circulating. Jason, do you believe in curses? And will
Saquon bark Are you fading Saquon Barkley this year?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I do kind of believe it. I'm kind of I'm
pretty superstitious, and so when something keeps happening, you know
in a certain way, I kind of tend to notice.
It's a pretty good football team. It's just hard to
repeat in general. I mean, let's be clear about that.
(25:05):
Like that, that's I know that we've gotten a little
bit spoiled their sort of we've had our visions cued
by what the Patriots did and then what the Chiefs
did in rapid succession. But that is so far from
the norm. And usually weird things happen the second year,
and you know, you lose a few guys and everybody
(25:26):
gets a little bit over inflated sensel with and it's
just a difficult thing to keep together and do two
years in a Row, So if they fall short, I
think it'll probably have a lot more to do with
just some of the inherent pitfalls that come with that
level of winning and not him being on the cover
of a video game. But like, uh, you know, I
(25:50):
don't think it's going to be like Tayton Hill's bet.
You know, I think it literally kind of ended his career.
But I'm sure there's some superstitious people on that Eagles
front office who you know, probably could have done without this.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Well I look at it like this, Jay is like, Okay,
the Madden curse really, what it's become in the last
years has been kind of an every other year Curseuon
Barkley's been really good basically every other year in his
NFL career.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I mean year, That's all I need. That's all I need. Okay,
I'm backing away. I'm done. I'm backing away. I have
some quad, Yeah, backing away.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Look, what I can see is this with with with
Saquon Barkley. Obviously you don't know what the injury situation
is gonna be.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
It.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Look, the offensive line is massive, they get to do
the touch push still, but you.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Know, teams are now gonna spend Okay, we are now
loading up and and we're gonna load up and we're
gonna make Jalen hurts, but we're gonna make that passing
game beat us. So I can see from the perspective
of yeah, we're loading up for you way more than
we did. Even though as things went on last year,
okay it was new. Now you've had an entire season
off season of tape to look at.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
This is what the Eagle like to do. This is
how we're going to do it.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
So I can see them slowing him down enough and
saying we're just gonna make Jalen Hurts beat us. And
I can see his numbers coming down strictly because of that.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Well, look, I think some regress in there, Like he
can have an amazing season and regress from last year.
You know, there's a lot like Lamar Jackson could do
the same thing. You could look at certain numbers and
say they went down, but then other things went up.
Like to your point about loading the box. Whatever, could
could you know, early down receiving yards for him? Could
(27:33):
could that be way up? You know? Could receiving touchdowns
pick up a little bit? I think that passing game
can continue to evolve, There's no doubt about that. And
I mean, are they going to be able to win
as many games with Jalen Hurts attempting sixteen to nineteen passes?
I mean probably not. But to your point about the
(27:57):
offensive line, I mean that that's very true, and that's
a great starting point. And they do have you know,
legit blide receivers and they do get a lot you know,
out of the tight end position as well, so they
might do it a little bit differently. I also think
that defense, though, is still really a sender. And if
(28:18):
they can help turn people over early in games and
put you to help, you know, help you get in
positions to play with the lead, then guess what, your
your your volume in the run game is still going
to be pretty stout.

Time how to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. My man who's been called the show
Hey o Tawny of Fox Sports Radio because he very
(29:37):
often falls asleep during.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Dodger games too. It's Steve to say, I talk, I
let off the hour. That's how things wit.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
And I'm you're correct about the lindorstat which we have
brought up before on this show from the great Sarah
Langs that when Francisco Lindor Homers. The Mets have won
twenty six consecutive games in the regular season. The record
is twenty nine straight wins by Brooklyn in the early
fifties when Carl Ferrillo homared and a serious note, happy
(30:04):
to mention Sarah Langs tonight of all nights, because it's
lou Garrig Knight across Major League Baseball and she is
going through her owns battle well.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
And they have a big deal they did with top
trading cards.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
They did, and you can see Luke Garreg on the
cards along with current stars.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
And they're gonna have a player from each team autograph
and go up for auction on the MLB site to
r raising money.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Fantastic, absolutely so.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
The Mets have the one nothing lead at Dodger Stadium
against starting pitcher Dustin May. Game is in the bottom
of the second. LA shortstop Mookie Betts did not start
again due to his broken toe. He missed all the
weekend games against the Yankees, but he does expect to
return soon, maybe tomorrow against the Mets, who have currently won.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Seven of eight.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
The Twins are out to a six to nothing lead
over the A's bottom of the second inning. In Sacramento,
Luis Severino has given up the six as the as starter,
and It's Padres a Giant scoreless in the b h
the third. The Giants with a good home record of
seventeen and nine. Detroit just a good record period thirteen
to one. The final at the White Sox tonight, Kerry
(31:08):
Carpenter hit three homers. The Tigers record is forty and
twenty one. The angel scored six runs in the top
of the first and held on for a victory at
Boston seven to six, the save to Kenley Jansen. Mike
Trout with a long home run early in fact, three
long balls in the first inning for the Halos. Milwaukee
won its eighth straight game, three to two at Cincinnati,
(31:28):
and the NL player of the Week, Christian Yelich, did
start for the Brewers at dh even though he was
hit by a pitch yesterday suffered a bruised hand not broken.
He hit a solo homer in the win tonight and
Colorado at Miami.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Get your tickets now.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
That was the game with the Rockies trailing four to
one in the second, with Colorado one, six to four
to end an eight game losing streak. Attendance listed at
five thousand and eight. Ninety four winning pitcher Herman Marquez
had been one in seven this season with an ERA
over seven.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Can they win the series tomorrow? Can they win their
first series three game series?
Speaker 7 (32:01):
Yeah, this is a possible thing. They have lost in fact,
twenty two straight series dating back to last year. The
good stat from yesterday once they went to nine and
fifty with yesterday's lost, Colorado the fastest to fifty losses
since eighteen eighty four.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (32:18):
Yankees closer Luke Weaver will go on these that there.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Wasn't the Mets. I know, it wasn't the Mets. You
got tell us this is not the Mets in eighteen
eighty four.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
Team that does not exist, although you know the parallels
with the sixty two Mets are going to be happening.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Well, no, last summer.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Parallel with the with the Cleveland Spiders that disbanded with
a week left in the seasons, Like we've lost too much,
we're done, Like they could break the Spiders record.
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Yeah, yeah, we have to go back to the eighteen
hundreds for a lot of this infamy, shall we say?
Yankees closer Luke Weaver did not pitch last night at
Dodger Stadium, reportedly going to go on the injured list
with a bad hamstring. The Mariners will retire the number
fifty one for both Randy Johnson next year and Eachiro
Suzuki this year. And what a game At the Women's
(32:59):
College World Series semifinals tonight, Texas Tech has eliminated Oklahoma
three to two on a walk off sacrifice fly. This
is the Sooners team that won the last four national titles. Earlier,
Texas won it's semi two nothing over Tennessee. So the
championship series starts Wednesday and it's Texas Tech with their
nil pitcher against the Texas Firs.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
First million dollar softball player, right.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
Former Stanford pitcher got a million bucks to go to
Texas Tech. I think it worked out from a collective,
that's how things work. It seems like it paid off,
no kind of literally.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Do you know what time the Knicks play? Yeah, same
time as the Lakers there we played. I watched that game.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Put it on the Knicks half Giannis though in that game, Well,
we'll give you honest, I'll tell you that the end
of that game, Oklahoma four time defending champ is down
to their final strike. The number nine hitter is up
and a two run homer to tie the game.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Oh and how it sounded too? Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It was insane that moment. I said, Okay, well, now
Oklahm was gonna win it. Nope, Texas Tech walks it off.
How can you not be romantic about softball?
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I screen?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
How do you throw a strike? Unbelievable tournament? So far,
this has been an unreal tournament.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Uh, we got more.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
We'll keep track, We'll keep telling what's going on with
the Mets and the Dodgers, because Mets owner Tommy.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Had been just grounded out to end the inning.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
But coming up next, there's one NBA star that seemingly
everybody thinks can solve every issue on every team next season.
And I'm here to tell you have you not been
paying attention for the last half decade? That's next, Jason
and Mike, this is Fox Sports Radio. Here's my favorite

can Homer every game, every acta no soft in the
(35:30):
second at but one home run tonight Metsley, the Dodgers
won nothing. But no matter what happens in this game,
I don't think we're gonna get anything quite with the
reaction as to what happened earlier today in Major League Baseball,
and this tells us about the play of the day.
For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
(35:50):
Ship Fast and Free backed by free Road, has a
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire
rack dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Well,
when you look like you could be the worst team
in the history of Major League Baseball and you win
a game, well collectively you get to be the tire
rack dot Com play of the day.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
One to ozer is grounded out to second. They get one,
they'd get two. The Rockies have their tenth win of
the season, and they take game one of this three
game series from the Marlins by a final score six
to four.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
There it is that even so excited the ruck packed
up about it Rockies Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, we wonder we're still ten and fifty. What do
you want from me? I don't know you.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Now, they had a legitimate chance to win a series.
They saw it in front of fifty eight hundred people.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
This translates to a record of twenty and one hundred.
I mean, just so we know that's where you know.
Just I can hear the map you, Jason and Mike.
There are more people sitting in this studio attended that game.
I tell you I saw a photo at first pitch
that hundred people. You just had to shake your head
and wins. Now, they announced nearly fifty nine hundred. Yeah,
(36:54):
that's nobody's buying that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
That's how many losses that the Rockies have this year,
feels it? How are you really?
Speaker 1 (37:00):
You couldn't be so unexcited if you tried, Hey, yeah,
we wont like Harry Doyle in Major League who cares,
nobody's listening, Air's double play and the Rockies winning, okay.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
And'd be some brighton the hell kind of that. I'm
whooping it up like you would not have airhorns.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We got to name it ten double. Yes, there we go.
We're not going to break the seventy six.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
We're not gonna go nine and seventy two and signed
seventy three, the sixers mark from the mid seventies.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
They had won consecutive games once this year, and it
was the end of one series the start of another,
so they've gone without a series win just yet. You're
starting to look for all the prospects, the big week
Major League Baseball prospects, starting to get called up, some
great videos of different guys. That's all you gotta have
in Rocky the trust me. I'm a White Sox fan.
(37:48):
I recognize that very well. Mike, you're a black belt
in the arts of this, no, no question about it.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Fifth degree.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
So we talked about the NBA and it seems like,
you know, after the Knicks are a eliminated, everybody seems
to be on the wavelength that Kevin Durant is going
to solve everybody's issues.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
We'll solve the Knicks issues, We'll solve the Rockets issues.
And to trade for KD. It's not gonna be that expensive.
You can bring him in. He's still an elite scorer.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, let me just let me
just say this, Yes, KD is still a really good,
really perfect player.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
I love KD. Right, I love him, But you are
on Mars.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
If you think KD is coming in, he's gonna take
you over the top, right, roll call the Knicks get KADI.
Yeahs KD an okay, enough defender. Yeah, but the guy's
thirty six. Man, he hasn't led anybody anywhere in six years.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Okay. His legs are like linguine they always have been.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
But yeah, but when you're thirty six into linguini gets
a little bit more waity.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
I mean, it's not as aldente as you want it
to be.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Just saying he was never that was the criticism of
him going all the way back to when he got drafted.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
I've got pooky cards, right, I look at him and
go how he put up numbers?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Right, he put up numbers. But you know what, Karl
Anthony Town's put up numbers with the Knicks, right guy?
And look, they have to move on from him.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
He did. Brooklyn was a disaster.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
He'll he'll make an effort defensively that Carolyn Brooklyn was
a disaster and he had to move on, and then
Phoenix was a disaster.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
He's not done anything. He has put up numbers. Okay,
Like I said, I like KD.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
But you think he's gonna come in and solve your problems,
you're crazy because he's been He's had different kinds of
roles on these team. He's had roles with other super
all stars, with the Brooklyn nets that could never work.
He's got a superstar alongside him in Phoenix and Devin Booker.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Guess what that didn't work?
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
What much thing you think suddenly? Oh, go get KD.
It's happening.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
It's not twenty nineteen. I wish he was twenty nineteen.
I could say, hey, everybody, there's a lot of crazy
stuff coming. But what I would say is this, it's
been six years. It's been six bleep in years. Man,
do you really all of a sudden, yes, go get
KD and suddenly, six years removed from being impacting the
game and impacting teams like he was, it's gonna suddenly
get better.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
No.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
I was born at night, but not last night.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
Man.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I like KD. But to go think he's gonna solve
your problems, you're crazy. It's not happening.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Go back to twenty nineteen. I'd love to hear some
of your rants now, knowing what you know now, it
could be a little different.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Just why we get this Jalen Brunson kid out of Villanova.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
But all of that to say with Durant, Yeah, he's
gonna score, he's gonna play slightly better defense, and depending
on which height that you see listed for him, maybe
he doesn't give up a whole lot. Then get to
cat in that regard. But when you get down to it,
it's not a one for one switch out like what
else is coming along? What else has to be relinquished
(40:32):
to make it happen. I've seen myriad three team, four
team deals like this is the only way this is
gonna work like yes, because they're all going to acquiesce
and give up. And Karl Anthony Towns did not put
a lot of great stuff on tape to say, yeah,
that's our building block and it's not helping things.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Salny Man kd is that's still an elite score. He
hasn't let anybody he's not the missing piece. He's not
the missing Yeah, but he gave us the greatest SoundBite
we use.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Coming up next.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Dion Sanders today he cast some headlines that he probably
shouldn't have spoken.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
