The Cowboys say Micah Parsons Week one, Brian Schottenneimer says, I'm.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yelling it yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Is Caleb Williams Tyson pagent the same quarterback storyline from
a decade ago?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
We want to know joining us now. I'm the hot
line to break it all down.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Longtime friend of the show, NFL Insider Extraordinary Jason Locke
and fora Odyssey Washington Post one oh five seven The
fan in Baltimore, Jay, what's happening?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Man? Hey?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
First of all, I know it was a very difficult day.
You held your breath for a long time. Today the
Lamar Jackson injury at practice turned out to be okay
and he is fine going forward. But I can imagine
what that must have been there for about ninety minutes
there in Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Uh. Yeah, I was actually not only radio today. I
was to pull him back from a trip with Fun
Boys to Sunway Park, So I was just following on
the internet while I did some of the work. But yeah,
just seems to be at least what they're saying. Nothing
to see here, got his footstepped on, should be good
to go. Obviously, should pay any attention to the Raven
(01:56):
fanel Kay, and you play anyone who much of a
chance to be a starter outside of select rookies at
all in the preseason, And even those select rookies like
you know, Mike green and and Malachi Starks are expected
to pretty much start right away. I don't think they're
going to play in the third game, And obviously Lamar
(02:18):
that doesn't do anything but watch these preseason games. So yeah,
it seems like nothing to see here, but anything with
Lamar is obviously freak out territory.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
So when you so, when you when you were driving
where you're driving home and.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
You saw that, did you say hey and you pulled
over and had one of your kids drive? I got
to keep hitting refreshed on social media, see what's happened.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
We were we were on a train. We were on
a train. So you know, I could have Twitter up
and work on some colums for the Washston Post and
make some phone calls and sort of do all the
things I do. So yeah, I love the train. They
killed them to be able to train for like six
hours today when they're like, we could have we could
have flown and done it the next forty five minutes,
(03:01):
but I don't like to fly anymore. So I love
the train.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
So yeah, there you go, tell him to take a nap.
It'll all be good, as we will look at ahead
of here at Jason for the week that has been
Daniel Jones named the starter in Indy? What do they
do in Indy with Anthony Richardson?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Now, well, I don't know that you have to be
in a hurry to do anything with him now, because
long before they get sick of Daniel Jones. I mean,
I you know, I saw him a couple of weeks
ago against Braven's backups with my own eyes from the
fifty yard line, and it was pretty shameful. You know.
(03:40):
It was better than Anthony and Richardson not being able
to diagnose the free blitzer and have his finger get
that back. When he had turned his head forty five degrees,
he could have dispatched the ball to his hot read.
So it did clear that hurdle. I guess so far
with Daniel Jones, but I don't think he's you know,
I don't think he's going to run away and hide.
(04:02):
And that looks to me like a team that's probably
gonna need an all hands on deck quarterback approach. So yeah,
I don't know that this one is, you know, coming
to a head like all of a sudden right away.
I guess it's conceivable, you know, that they get some
sort of offer and want to make the move. But
it's not like this is him being you know, knocked
(04:27):
off the perch by some hotshot rookie. He's he is
the hot, like he the one they've actually invested in
and don't anything invested in Daniel Jones, So I'd be
surprised if something came together in the next week that
kept him off their roster.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Jason Locking for our guest Jason Smith Mike Carmon live
from Fox Sports Radio Studios. Right now you add that
phrase all hands on decat quarterback today, the Bears a
lot of pomp and circumstance, giving Tyson Bagent a two
year contract extension could be worth as much as sixteen million,
make them ef highest paid backup in the NFL. This
I see this situation. I go this is RG three
(05:06):
and Kirk Cousins with Washington all over again, like, Hey,
we have our guy that we think is going to
be great, but we're really not sure. So we're going
to make sure we hold onto that back up and
take care of him because if things go bad this year,
this is the guy we're going to turn to. Like,
I don't think the Bears do all of this for
Tyson Bage unless they think, hey, if things go bad
(05:27):
this year, he's going to be our quarterback. We're not
sold on Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, I don't see it. That way. Okay, ten million dollars,
you know. I mean it's not jump change, but it's
it's nothing in the world of quarterbacks. Yeah, I think
they like him. Obviously, he's a feeling good story. He's
run around out there for them a few times. I
(05:53):
think it's a pretty rudimentary style of play. I'm room
for the kid. Everybody's room for the kid. They do
a lot of weird stuff there, man, I mean there's
people trying to crown them forever, but I don't see it.
What is this an office done that's been particularly like that,
that's been real effective, like just clew me in like
outside of winning headlines and like getting a lot of attention.
(06:15):
And I guess, like just tell me because like I'm
just looking at you know, wins and losses and like
money spent, you know, when you know what their draft
classes have given them and everything. Like I don't really
understand a lot of what goes on at hell, so
I haven't for a long time. They've been a pretty
horse fleet board. Like I think this is just them,
(06:38):
you know, taking care of somebody they like. And I
don't know, man, Like if it doesn't work with terriaboyas
I got news for you, Like this securing this kid
for an extra year or two isn't going to matter.
They're all going to be thrown out like I did,
not that Johnson, But like I don't think you get
(07:00):
Ben Johnson in there and finally win that bidding war
because of this thing you just took first overall. And
you're telling me you know a guy who was a
hell of a time complete a past Galfield, Like who's
like all guts and you know, like let them run
around and take a hit and throw the back. Come on, Like, no,
Ben Johnson didn't go to to work with badget dude,
(07:20):
Like there's no bleeping way. Like if it doesn't work
with Caleb, you're you're onto something else. And like maybe
this guy helps you get to a half a season
if Caleb gets hurt and then in the off season
you decide to move on. But ain't nobody going to
be like, well wait a minute, let's let's sit all
this out like the arch Manning's coming out. It doesn't matter,
(07:40):
Like we've got we've got you know, we've got our guy.
I just think of your backup quarterback.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, I hear you, but I'm gonna let me give
you this, but Bears, I mean you Bears, remember Bears.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
It's the Bears.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Well, I mean I think the Bears part of it
is thinking you had to do this now, Like I mean, like, yeah, look,
I don't think there's gonna be any feeding frenzy for
Badget after the season, but look if they really like
to have them in the building, and they think I mean,
I think they probably look at it as he's the
prof backup for Caleb, and like I think those two
(08:20):
probably get along really well, and I think the new
coach must really like them. And so it's like, what
the hell, all right, you know, he wants to be here,
We want to keep him. Like I haven't had a
chance to look at the full structure of the contract,
but I mean we're talking stand minimal guarantees for that position.
Like that's just the reality. So you want him to
(08:42):
feel good about himself. You want to reward him for
being a great kid and you know, taking some hits
and somebody football games for you the last couple of years,
and you know, it is a great story and he's
done a whole hole of a lot more at the
pro level than he really did a couch. So like,
I mean, clearly they feel like he has value, But
I think that value is in a lot of things
other than trying to get through, you know, sixteen or
(09:06):
seventeen football games with this guy, like as you're starting quarterback.
I just don't I don't think that even they would you.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
It is that he just encapsulated fifty years of my life.
In a very brief synopsis, it's Jason Locking for our guest,
Washington Post one O five to seven, the fan there
in Baltimore at Jason Locking for where you find him
on x slash the Twitter verse as we go forward,
all right, Schottenheimer over in Dallas saying he's confident that
(09:35):
for the opener against the Eagles, his guy.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Will be there.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Micah's sitting there, the photo scene around the world. It's
now eleventh hour. Jared, Jared, who blinks.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Well, I mean, look, I think they get they pay him.
I mean that's what these things generally in a certain way,
and it's with Jerry making somebody, you know, bestowing the
highest this or that on somebody, the highest up front money,
the highest money in the first three years of the
contract for any player at his position, the highest signing bonus, like,
(10:08):
I mean, that's where we're headed, and it probably gets
done in time for Week one. Uh, I mean the
facing the Eagles, they're gonna need them. They're gonna get
their asses ticked with them and without them, but they
got they gotta leave, need them to put up some
some with of a fight. I mean, I think Gary
probably will blank and uh Leco will get what he
(10:30):
wants and all this won't have really served anybody well,
most notably that particular football team with the rookie head
coach that's kind of prepared to face the world champions
in games that start mattering real soon here, and it
all has just been, you know, just what he wants.
The prelude and the preamble is more important and more
(10:55):
sort of part of the business model and more tied
to selling you know, all this drama and getting people
to buy in literally with their pocketbooks. Then I think
it's actually about the football product itself. They've been patently
mediocre for the most part with him, and I think
(11:15):
that's what they'll be again this year. And yeah, I
think it probably will be with now.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Lastly, Jay, as we saw today some minor trades made
across the NFL, the Jets get a couple of defensive linemen,
the Saints get a wide receiver. Obviously Micah Parsons situations
is there. We also have the Terry McLaurin situations, We
have Kirk cousins. Do you see any any yet? Do
you see any big moves being made, any big trades
(11:41):
being made between now in the beginning of the season.
R really just be more like, hey, we saw the
smaller depth moves today, the linemen going on.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Do you see something big happening the next ten days?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I think the McLaren thing and the Henderson thing both there.
They're monitoring Like Mike No, like I said, he's gonna
get his bag. It's just a matter of what is
it in time for a week one maybe not, but
it won't be long thereafter those other two though, I
think there's there's clearly been a disconnect and there's a
(12:12):
longer history there, and those guys have done these contractual
dances with the organization before. This is Micah's first real
chance that you know, quite at the Apple. So I
think it's a little more personal there. I think it's
a little more visceral there. Those situations are a little
more complicated. Like you know, Jerry just made back the
highest paid quarterback. You got no choice really but to
(12:34):
make Mike got a hight paid defensive player. And I
think everybody associated in that stupid Kabooki dance knows it. Again,
it's just a matter of when they hurt up and
then start getting their ass kicked. And you know, again,
football games that matter. These other ones are trickier and
more complicated, and I think there's just a like whether
it's on the player's side, whether it's on the owner side,
(12:57):
I think there's a little more of an edge to
it and a little more bad blood, and those guys
might be might have to be a little more stuck in,
and so yeah, I think it's conceivable that they're moved.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
He's on Twitter at Jason Lock and four that is
at Jason Lock and for it Jay, as always, buddy,
appreciate it, my friend. We'll talk to next week as
we're previewing the regular season.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Look forward to it.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Thanks be good, buddy, Thank you. There we go.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Look, yeah, you know it's a great point where that
Jason made there about how you look Micah Parsons going
on with the Cowboys this is something that is new
to him, right first time, there's a lot of emotions.
But Hendrickson and McLaurin, there's a history there. The players
have been there for a while, they're both almost thirty.
There's a lot of and as you know, the more
history you have with someone, the easier it is to
(13:47):
dig in or say at this point, I'm ready to
move on. And the thing is, like you would think
Hendrickson would have the Bengals over a barrel here after
that defensive effort in their last preseason game where it's
four rushes down the field for eighty yards in a
touchdown in the opening drive.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Yeah, but how did I sum that UPA Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You summed it up by saying you can suck with
him and you can suck without it.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Damn right, nothing has changed in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But you know, but that's a great point because remember,
when it gets personal, that's when things get really difficult.
And that's why for me, the Parsons thing is a
bigger deal. I know, Jason's listen, he's gonna get his
money and all that, and Jerry's gonna do it's his
first time here, but this is really seems to be
deeply personal for Micah Parsons right now, even though it's
the first time, it still seems personally. I went on
(14:36):
social media and said, I no longer want to be here.
This is a guy that's been a cowboy for a
couple of years. It's not like a you know, it's
starting his second year, he's been there for a bit.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
It is.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
It is much more emotional and much more personal for
him than I think people want to let on about that.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Well, but I think that's where you know, you owe
some of the the fact that Micah is a very
social media active guy, between his own podcast and what
he's posted on socials. For situations not dealing with Zone.
Go back to something I cited last week with is
you know when he was saying, Hey, those college guys
(15:11):
got to get in camp. You know you signed your deals,
go make you deals like people are like holding up.
You know, the Michael Jordan thing where he's sitting there
from the last dance when he throws his arms up
like see what did I tell you? So you know
some of that comes back on you. But yeah, it's personal,
right all your no matter even if you have the
buffer of your agent in this case, Jerry and the workaround,
(15:32):
as we've talked about with Jason Cole, all of those
things they're they're there is a buffer. Well, sometimes that
buffer gets pushed away at a frenzied media because you
are such a star, and yeah, you're gonna get in
your fields. You're gonna get into your your your head
a bit, you know, do they do they love me
as much as I love here, because it's clear to me,
you know, as much as folks can dismiss it. Anytime
(15:54):
you see a shot of him on the sideline, he
looks like a guy who's ready to run in without
pads or a helmet, right, he looks like he's a
guy that would give anything to be on that field
because that's where he knows the world makes sense. Jerry
popping off about injuries and whatever else. That's a whole
world he's not used to, right, because he's been the
(16:15):
chosen one all along. So yeah, sometimes it's that harsh reality.
But in the end, what's gonna happen. Here's a giant
novelties as check. Hey, it was all good show, isn't it.
I mean that'll be episode twelve or whatever the add
on is for this Netflix show. While it's all said
and done.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swalling down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harbon coming up next.
Mike and I often say this phrase on the show.
Hope is not a strategy. However, for an entire sport,
hope is absolutely a strategy, and it was interesting. It's
not just helping the Caitlin Clark comes back, and it's
(16:53):
not the WNBA. For a different sport, hope is absolutely
their best strategy. That's next right here, Jason and Mike

wherever you get your podcasts, Fox.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon. Now, one of the things you hear Mike
and I say all the time on the show, and
I'm pretty sure that whoever wrote F one uh listens
to the show because we've told you for years now,
hope is not a strategy, right, that's going to become
a thing.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Right, Hope, hope. It is not a strategy. I hope
is not a strategy. And that what we heard. We
heard Brad Pitt utter that in f one hope is
not a strategy.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Back on the imax for you Smith, if you need
another bite at the apple.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh, except here, I'm gonna tell you that hope absolutely
is a strategy for a entire sport that is finally
starting to quote fight back. Okay, big press conference today
at the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, where
the new PGA Tour CEO Brian roll Up said, these
(19:15):
promising significant change to the PGA Tour.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
He has formed a nine person Future Competition Committee that
is going to be led by Tiger Woods. Right, and
here's a direct quote. This is not going to be
incremental change. The goal is significant change. Tiger Woods on
social media earlier today said this is about shaping the
next era of the PGA Tour. And first of all,
(19:40):
this is the best possible thing that we could do.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You have other great players on this committee as well.
Adam Scott is on it as well. You see, you
see a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
John Henry is on it. Too. Speaking his second hour,
we've gotten John Henry in the show.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
They finally decided that, Okay, live golf and what they've done,
they've been doing it long enough. It doesn't like it's
going anywhere. The deep pockets for Live Golf and the
PGA Tour. How do we get to that next era?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Right?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
What do we do?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And this is where Live Golf I want to say,
is gonna be good for the PGA Tour because this
is forcing what used to be an unchallenged entity to evolve,
right because the longest time, how how how elitist and
how smug was the PGA Tour and all the majors
what they want to do and how we're gonna keep
our greens at the Masters and all this stuff. Yeah,
(20:29):
they could be that way, and they could be pompous
and and it's my way or the highway because they
ran unchallenged. Now here's Live Golf, which has come out
a few years ago, and suddenly guys left. They're getting
paid a lot of money and they're staying. Okay, so
now we're forced to do something. So in the end,
Live Golf. This is after a couple of years of
we don't know what we're doing. This is gonna work
(20:51):
well for the PGA Tour because now they know, Okay,
we have to do things differently. We have to find
a new way to make the tour back to what
it was. You know, Tiger Woods has not come through
that door again. So the first thing I'm gonna say
is this is absolutely the best thing because now you
have the best players, who knows, who know what life
is like, how to improve the PGA Tour, how to
get it back to the levels we were at before.
(21:11):
When hey, it wasn't just a four times a year
minor headline, it was hey, Tiger Woods is playing.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
This is taking over the sports world. The Ryder Cup
is going to own a college football and NFL weekend
in the fall. This is the best thing the PGA
Tour could do right now is finally say okay, we
need to do something new. And the fact that it's
not a PGA guy in charge of things, I think
is great. You need new ideas, you need new things
going forward. This is the best thing they've had happened
(21:39):
in the last couple of years.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Well, that's the beautia of it.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
You bring in all these other voices and ideas from
people who have turned other things around. You mentioned John
Henry theo Epstein part of the group as well, Right,
did massive, miraculous work in Boston and then with the
Cups in terms of building an enterprise, a foundation, uh
(22:02):
and pushing ahead into huge success and continued success. So
now now you look at it from the idea of
live golf, I think there was some hope that either
the players would miss and you've had some complaints, right,
we don't our stuff doesn't count here and and we're
(22:22):
not included here, and and there's a little bit of that,
and you know, hey, you made your choice and took
your money. But I think from the organizational side of things,
there was a ad, don't worry, it'll it'll run its course.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Right.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
We talked about it a couple of years ago. It's like, ah,
they'll get tired of putting money in. No, there's an
endless reservoir of money that'll keep flowing in for live golf.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I mean, that's that's not going away.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
So as so long as the players keep getting fat
with giant checks, you're not going to bridge that gap
of guys suddenly running back to the tour. Some might
as they fall out of favor, and whatever the travel
schedules and whatever they decide they want to go back
because of legacy, history, fans getting on them, whatever amount
(23:08):
of outside of influences may be there. But in terms
of your organization, trying to figure out how you become
more of an issue. I mean, look, we talk Scottie
Scheffler a little bit, but it's usually kind of a
mention of, wow, he's on another great run.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
He won again.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
But other than him showing up and happy, happy Gilmore too,
Like he showed more life in those scenes than he's
ever done at a podium.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
And that's fine, that's who he is.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
But you're trying to find a star, you know, chasing
John Daily round also happy Gilmore too. Is it gonna
get you to be like, he's not coming out into
playing competitive golf, right, Tiger's not walking back through that door.
All of those things of you've got some great players,
but you don't have guys that are huge personalities. And
you're trying to draw people not only back to the
(23:55):
television or back out to the course. The golf fans
are still gonna be there, but you're trying to find
the those folks that you know, might be, Hey, the
tour's coming in, right. I talked to a guy that
out here in southern California today. Actually he was going
to visit his son, Lived Golf is doing an event
in Michigan. He was going out for a couple of
days to go see that, right, thinking, Hey, that would
be It's a different thing. That's what the PGA needs again.
(24:17):
They got to figure out how to make it. Hey,
you know it's it's coming to your town. How do
we get out there, meet and greets come and you know,
go to the driving range and take a shot or two.
Whatever the inn is to get folks excited about it.
And here's a great first step. Now here's where hope
becomes a strategy.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Okay, this is this is exactly where hope becomes a
strategy because all this is great, right, All this is awesome, right, great.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Stuff for PGA tour figuring things out. But this is
where hope is a strategy.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Is that the PGA Tour sits here and has to
hope because this is where the good times will show
up again and people are gonna say, man, this is
just like when Tiger Woods was around.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
This is awesome. They have to hope.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
That Charlie Woods in two or three years shows up
and is great, because if Tiger Woods' kid shows up
and really, look, he's high school golf right now. To look,
Tiger Woods turn pro, you know, coming out of Stanford,
he was in his early twenties. So it's still a
couple of years away for Charlie Woods, right, He's still
probably probably two or three years now. You never know,
(25:23):
the next couple of years his game could really blossom
even more. One of the best young players in the
country right now. But if Charlie Woods comes in and
starts doing damage and winning tournaments, all he could do
is win one tournament, all of a sudden interests in
the PGA tour boom. It blows back up to Tiger
Woods type levels. Here's Tiger Woods's kid. Is he gonna
(25:44):
be better than Tiger? Can he win majors?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Now?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
What's gonna be his right? Will he have them with Rory?
Will he have with Jordan Speith? What does Tiger think
of this? And suddenly Tiger gets an entirely new run
because now he's Charlie Woods's dead. Will they play together
in the same tournaments against each other? You get a
bron brawny situation. If Charlie Woods is really good, golf
is gonna sit here and say, we just solved our
(26:07):
problems for the next fifteen years. We have fifteen I
can go and sit in a hammock and have a
beer and tell live golf blank. You guys, we got
Tiger's kids, because you know, Tiger's kid's not going to
live golf, right. Tiger talked about how big the PGA
Tour has been and important to him throughout. He wants
to tour to succeed as much as Tiger Woods is.
Pretty much he is loyal to himself. He's got that.
(26:30):
Next loyalty is to the PGA Tour. If Charlie Woods
is good, they buy fifteen years of the fast Lane.
And like I said, all Charlie Woods has to do
is just win one tournament once and it's all all
the attention with him and the majors. Charlie Woods is
in contention. It's Tiger's kid, all the storylines right themselves.
That's all the PGA Tour needs.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
That is really good. Deep hope, hope, hope can be
a strategy.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
No, that's it.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
I mean, you know you bust it out a candle
and maybe fifteen more of them. I'm going to condense
all of what you just said down to one word
cloning now hear me out.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Genetics or one thing.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
But getting into where we've got, you know, a droid army,
you know, not a droid army, but you know we
replicate old django fet and we go down the line.
You know we we can do that. No, I like
your theory, and it certainly would work. He's got to
be in contentionent in one big tournament and the camera
(27:36):
flashes and everything start to roll.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
He wins one. Great.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
How about we take our Simpsons analogies, as we do,
because we got thirty five forty seasons worth of material
at this point, and we go back to when Homer
joined the Stonecutters. Remember what happened? Oh no, you got it.
What's that's a royal sampler?
Speaker 4 (27:53):
You win again?
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yay.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
That's what we need to happen for Charlie.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Where did this ball go? Don't know?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Don't know that the camera lost it or did it.
That's all that needs to happen. Tell me, man, that's it. Hope,
that is the greatest hope and wishing strategy. I mean
that's better than anything you've ever come up with for
the Jets.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I'm telling you, manh yeah, Well, because I could say, Okay,
what's a better hope?
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Boy, I hope Justin Fields is good? Or I hope Charlie,
what's this good? What's the better hope? Punt? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I mean really, I mean that's that's what it is, right,
that's what what else?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
What else can you say?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh no, No, that's absolutely a h that's that's absolutely strategy.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
You know what's great about Charlie Woods though he doesn't
even have to be the twelfth to fifteenth best.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
On itamp.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
I look, but that's the thing is that is that
if Brownie was really good, Right, just think about this
for a second, right, compare this to where it's at.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Like, here's the NBA.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
If Bronnie James came in and was amazingly good, right,
doesn't he even need to be the best player? Does
he need to come in and be Wemby? Doesn't he
need to come in and be someone like that? But
if he just came in and was really really good
and he can be a star shooting guard, the NBA
solved their problems for the who's taking the tour from
lebron who's the face of the league. They solved their
(29:19):
problems for the next ten plus years as well. But
Bronnie isn't he's a he's a he's a he's a
fun story and maybe he gets better and and he's
still kind of fun to talk about, but he's not
gonna stir the conversation or push the league forward.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
He's never gonna be the face of the NBA. But
if he was really and again doesn't need to be
just like Charlie Woods. If he's really good, like if
he wins once and shows that, hey, he has the
potential to win a Major one day, he can do
that and clearly be in Tiger Woods kid. I don't
know why you would say not. I'd have to go
into DNA, but I'm pretty sure that can happen. I
can find Professor Frank to come in and tell me
those things without the Charlie and the Woods and what
(29:57):
But uh, if that, if that was the case, just
think about where the NBA would be and the PGA
Tour is really on a on a on a really
good path. I mean, I'm getting you're crossing your fingers
and hoping. But clearly Charlie Woods is progressing. He's he's
that kind of talent. Bronnie never came in as Hey,
he's a transcendental talent. At least you know Charlie Woods is. Hey,
he's working up towards it.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Man.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
You see what he's doing seeing in some tournaments already.
If he is, if he is really good man, the
PGA tourist saying we're back, Man, We're back.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
We're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Man, you can write us in, just like it was
for Tiger Woods for the most of the late nineteen
nineties into the twenty tens. We are Tiger, we are
Woods driven again.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
The problem is you have to now cut out the
last four minutes of the analysis from any audio transcript
to this, because now they're gonna say, why are we
gonna pay the consultants.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Consultants are all mad at you.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
The hoping strategy is one it's like, wait, that doesn't
cost us anything. We just have to sit on our
asses and wait and see what happens, and then we
can deal with it four years from now. Whereas if
we actively try I had to tell them all the
things that they could be doing we get billable hours.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
There we go. That's how it works.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
That's my Carmen consultancy coming in here.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. Now I
have a request what we're going to say here, because
now see what we're doing here on the show when
we throw to to Moncey and Steve.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
We are starting to get requests on how to do it.
A wow, Moncey's going to crush tyshirt.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
This is from Ralph who says, Jason, here's how you
should throw to Moncey, amn of someone who's been called
the Enrique Iglesias a Fox Sports Radio because it's not
by Lamos, it's Bolognos, it's Moncey.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
Ah, that's pretty incredible. Actually, that's the I wonder if
Ralph has heard Jonas Knox and I sing that song
as we do the update.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Oh okay, so wow, wow, you actually sing that song.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
But we gotta you gotta go to like the chorus
and then it goes you know, we we we get
into it, we sing it. Yes, it's great, nicely done, guys. Yes,
this is fun. Does it doesn't this song make you
(32:28):
want to literally dance by Lamos gets in without trying
to wait.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Isn't that the forbidden dance?
Speaker 5 (32:35):
That let us dance, Yhall, we dance together. That's right,
that's right, that's all dance.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
I love I love them.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Let's go watch the movie there?
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (32:50):
We got two baseball games still going on, fellas. We'll
start in San Diego where the padre Is just keep
extending their lead over the Giants at six to one
bottom of the sixth thing, and the Angels have taken
the lead from the Reds two to one bottom of
the eighth inning in Anaheim. What happened earlier today while
the Rockies took down the Dodgers in Colorado. Eight to
three was the final score. Shoey O Tani started things
(33:12):
off on the mound for La. He pitched five innings,
gave up nine hits and five earned runs. The Yankees
have won five in a row. They outscored the race
six to four and ten innings. Young Carlos Stein pinch
inning in the tenth inning and he hit that two
run shot to take the lead and they hold on.
The Cups held on four to three against the Brewers
for their third straight win against Milwaukee. Nationals top the
(33:33):
Mets five to four, and the Rangers took the lead
in the ninth inning and won six to three against
the Royals, while the A's top the Twins four to
two in ten innings. In NFL news, the Bear sign
backup quarterback Tyson bije In to a two year contract extension.
Saints coach Kellen Moore said both Tyler Shuk and Spencer
Rattler will play in their final preseason game. Bengals head
coach Sack Taylor tour reporters that Joe Burrow and the
(33:54):
starters will not play in their final preseason game. And yes,
there was a scare for Ravens fans as Jackson left
practice earlier today, but he just had his foot stepped on.
The raven stole reporters that Jackson is fine. The Jets
had a secret practice Jason without the media, without assistant coaches,
and then Garrett Wilson tells a social media influencer about it,
(34:18):
and that's how people started finding out. Moves that have
happened in the NFL. The Chiefs are sending wide receiver
Skymore to the forty nine ers, and the league has
suspended Niners wide receiver JaMarcus Robinson for the first three
games of the regular season for violating the league's substance
abuse policy. Back to you guys, all.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Right now, Mantia, let me just say this. Okay, Aaron
Glenn was at the practice.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
He was the only kid twice. Yes, But what I
heard this story.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
The last thing I wanted to hear was, please don't
tell me somebody got hurt at this player's only practice.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
That's not fair. Please tell me that nobody got hurt
at this player's.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
Oh my gosh, totally Yeah.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
You must have been holding your breath right absolutely.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Hey, coach, Yeah, listen. So here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Sauce and and Garrett got tangled up at this player's
only practice, and uh yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
It's not looking good.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Man.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
I was it a wwe tryout some paintball, water balloons,
water slide, Like, what are we talking here?
Speaker 1 (35:15):

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
Friend Mike Harmon. Now, if you're hoping Caitlin Clark was
gonna come back to play in the WNBA this season
right now the Indiana Fever saying, well, the plan is
for her to return before the season ends. Don't know
if that took a dent earlier today, where a WNBA
(36:32):
source confirmed to ESPN the Caitlin Clark suffered a bone
bruise on her left ankle during a workout earlier this month.
That she's been rehabbing the ankle concurrently with her right
groin injury that's kept her out for the past month.
Plus the WNBA season. Still no timetable for her return.
The big update we got a day ago was, Hey,
they're hoping that she can come back at some point
(36:54):
before the regular season ends. The big quote from Stephanie
White was quote, until she can get into practice and
until you guys see her in practice, it's really status quo.
So early, we're waiting for the next time we see
Caitlin Clark lasen up for practice, and then maybe we
get some sort of timeline. But I want to throw
this out there because I'm not a doctor, but in
(37:15):
observing and covering sports for the better part of the
last you know, near three decades, now I want to
say this.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
This is the third.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Muscle injury and not counting this boat, which is an
addition her groin injury is the third muscle injury she
has suffered this year. Now, what did Caitlin Clark do
in the off season? Worked out a ton, right, you
saw her body, got in the gym, worked out a bunch.
You know when you first saw the pictures of her,
of her triceps.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
And her BiCon.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Oh, she's jacked, she's stronger. She went wild in the
gym in the off season to bulk up, be stronger.
This is a natural thing that players do. The good
news is that you know, hey, if it's what I'm
gonna throw out there, well, you know you live and
learn on it, and it's okay. It's part of being
an athlete and what your body needs to thrive. But
this wouldn't be the f and again, not a doctor,
(38:06):
not a doctor. I like the end of Brooklyn nine nine.
Not a doctor, not a doctor. But this wouldn't be
the first time you have seen someone suffer multiple muscle
injuries because of too much working out or too much
stress on your muscles by working out when they haven't
(38:27):
gone through it before. You know, you want to think
when you're young and you're working out, you can do
whatever you want to. But you know, this is three
muscle injuries for Katelyn Clock, who had a lot of
time off.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Right.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
It's not like she spent you know, she finished the
end of the WNBA season.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
There was no basketball. She was done.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
You know, she had the big month off, no Olympics,
everything else. She still worked out all the time, right,
what you have to do as an athlete, but there
was no basketball. She came in, she was rested, ready
but you see three muscle injuries, and I wonder just
what what was her workout situation like in the off
season did you push your muscles too much to the
point where, hey, you got to understand there's a happy
medium of what you can do to your body to
(39:03):
try to get it stronger from time to time. Again,
not a doctor, but I've seen this many times now
to be able to say, hey, when you see numerous
muscle injuries in a season, you go back and someone
worked out a ton in the offseason and worked out
maybe how you've not worked out before? H Yeah, I
think there's a correlation there.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Change your workouts, change your strength, trainings, train all that
U And I mean we see it with growth spurts, right,
I mean, look a look at the history of of
NBA big men. We were talking about John Wall and
we immediately start getting into you know, Joel Embiid and
some of the other guys that came into the NBA
about the time Wall did, and how many of those
(39:42):
guys had foot and ankle problems. How many times do
we see, as you know, we watch our kids, maybe
our kids friends and those that they're competing with, that
there's just a difference as they get to that next
level and go through that maturation that the body doesn't
always grow everything, you know, properly at the same time. Right,
(40:05):
there's there's a curve to it. Likewise with Caitlin Clark
putting on some muscle, changing the regimen, different torque on
your system, on your joints, all of that stuff that
it that it comes back on you.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
I look, it's it's again. And I don't I'm be
the first person to tell you.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
I just know the correlation there between the two and
that this is somebody she's been healthy her entire career, right,
this this is a new thing for her, right. And
and three muscle injury. Look the bone bruise that happens, right,
that's one of those things that's unfor sure, it happens.
But you know, muscle injuries. That's the thing, man, when
when you're getting to that this is not hey, you
know I bang my I bang my knee against somebody,
(40:41):
or you know, by my thumb got bent back after
grabbing a basketball and you can say it's bad luck,
it's these are these are different muscle injuries up and
around and I really, you know, want to look back
and see, Okay, what was what were her workouts?
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Like, what was that is?
Speaker 1 (40:54):
I mean, at the very least, it's something that you
have to look into and say, okay, what did I
do and could that be something that had an effect
on this now because here she is missing the majority
of the season, you know, when she had a lot
of time off coming into it.
Speaker 5 (41:08):
Well, trying to figure out where that sweet spot is.
And for the WNBA, all right, Angel Reese is back,
but you don't have that fae and then Sophie Cunningham's
lost for the year.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
We've lost it all. Exit out bout a Fresca, Exit
swollen Dome. Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Fox
Sports Radio Studios. Coming up next, a secret NFL practice
and the best trade destination for Anthony richardson Fox
