Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello and welcome inside hour two of The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon, live from the
ti rack dot com studios. Tirack dot com, I help
you get there at unmatched election, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tyrack
dot com the way tire buying should be well. Obviously,
(00:50):
we talked tonight for a couple minutes. Here are heavy
hearts with Kansas City, as we talked about last hour
on the show. Now reports a second person has died,
per the Kansas City Star. After the shooting today at
the Kansasity Chiefs Parade. Twenty two people were shot, eleven
of them children, all between the ages of six and fifteen.
(01:12):
The one thing we have to hold on to here.
It looks like all of the children are going to
be okay. Now there are some other people who are
in life threatening situations.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
The medical their medical situation.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Right now is fluid, and we will know more, hopefully
as we move forward, and to just to talk about
it a little bit differently than we did last hour
on the show. I can't say enough about what it
means to watch a video of a bunch of people
seeing a gunman fleeing the scene where shots have just
(01:48):
gone out, and without any weapons themselves, without any weapons themselves,
they ran and tackled the guy and waited for police
to get here. I mean that is just absolutely something. Now, Look,
you always want to think you're gonna be that guy
to do it. I'd be that guy, and that's I'd
be that guy when it comes down to it. Someone
is shot and he's running away, Are you really running
(02:09):
after him? I mean that takes something extra special to
go out and tackle a guy. Now, I get the
guy's not in a shooting position, maybe he wasn't holding
the gun, and you're thinking making that split decision. I
can knock this guy on his ass, I can knock
this guy in his ass and everything people are gonna
help me and that's gonna be good. It's one thing
to think that is another thing to actually do it.
And to see not one, not two, three, four, five
(02:30):
people jumping on top of him and then you got
to worry about getting the gun away from him, holding
him down and police coming. That's something, man, I mean
you want to talk about here is I wish there
was a better angle of that. But I've been watching
that most of the day today and just thinking how
outstanding of a job that is. And they got a
shout out from the UH from the mayor today who
talked about it. Hey, we have reports that they held
(02:50):
a gunman down for police to get there, and they
took three people into custody. So you're talking about thirty
three percent of the people responsible for these shooters. These
people saw running and said we're gonna go take this down.
I've got no weapons, no weapons, and they did it.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
But in you know, the grander scale, it's in direct
contrast to so many orders to just kind of stand
and watch people do whatever they want. Right if you,
if you work retail, folks come in, smash, grab whatever,
you're supposed to just stand down. So the fact that
in a day and age where that's kind of become
the accepted way of going. People said like that, I
(03:24):
got a shot, I'm taking the guy down, and you
don't know what other weapons might have been there, how
many other people at that point, how many people are involved?
But in that moment, man running in a coat, maybe
there's another weapon on his person. You have no idea,
but without with regard not for yourself but for the
(03:45):
thousands of people that are around to stop this. I mean,
that's that's one of those fight or flight moments, heroic
moments that just go down in history of you might
have cut off something even more right, You have no
idea how this the endgame or what they're thinking, all
of those things that we now will try to find
(04:09):
some of the answers of why, Like we talked about
last hour, but the action of a big hit and
you know, everybody's like, all right, figure out the GoFundMe.
You know, chip in for a beer or for a meal.
These guys shouldn't pay for anything that's are live the chiefs.
The chiefs do they send them title rings?
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Now?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
You know you get one of these encrusted WWE belt,
whatever the case is here's the key to the city,
but heroic measures and then the family that were nearby,
uh to hammer this and keep it from from growing.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Just a huge moment. And not all heroes wear capes.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Some of them wear jeans, sneakers, hoodies, baseball hats, sweatshirts, sweatpants.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Why do I think you're doing.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'm just saying, I mean, regular people out of the
out of regular people, just out out of a parade.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But let's just tell you, I have to tackle this
guy to say I'm int do this.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, here's con dress however they want to.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
But just an amazing thing, right, because I mean we've
seen the video that you know, you have these interviews
on the side talking about the parade, what a great
event is Travis Kelsey singing all the cutaways, and then
you've got the one that has the actual sound of
gunshot in the in the background and everybody looking around
trying to figure out the origin. And in that chaos,
(05:31):
these folks were able to act and keep their heads
and have heard numerous on our news station here in
La KFI. They were playing a lot of the audio
of people who were, you know, their first hand accounts
of what transpired in the in their section of the crowd,
some harrowing tales and people that obviously you know, had
worked on exit plans. And that's the sad thing is
(05:53):
that we've got to do that to a great degree
in our schools, in our homes of all right, what
happens if back in the day, it was you know,
mom sent you out and you stayed until the street
lights went on, then it was all right, you probably
had twenty minutes. You better be back in the house.
Now we're creating plans if things go awride this nature,
(06:14):
which is a sad reality but one that we face
each day.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Now, here's Paul Contreris, who is one of the guys
who tackled the alleged shooter. Here's what he had to
say following his heroics earlier today.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
One guy was hollering, saying, you know, stop him, Jay
or catch him, you know, tackle him whatever, and he's
just just bailing, running and out of nowhere. I heard
that guy hollering, So I'm just like, okay, well I'm
right here, and I just I never think about it,
just a reaction and I didn't hesitate, it was just
(06:47):
just do it. So I went to go tackle, and
an other gentleman did the same thing. And as I'm
tackling him, I see his weapon either fall out of
his hand or out of his sleep because he's wearn't
a long jacket like a car heart. So when I
seen that hit the ground, I'm like, oh, you know,
we got to take this guy down. And so, like
(07:08):
I said, I did, and then another good Samaritan did and
we held him down.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Just regular dude saw the guy did it? Saw was
a weapon? Oh wow, he was under his jacket. But
I mean that look good. I don't know how long.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
It transpired, like what's the time between the incident and
this interview, But I mean you're talking about well, yeah,
well there's a weapon. Oh wow, Yeah, yeah, we got I.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Mean, just gon.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
No.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
But that's just it, right, the videos that went against
the weapons that they put on that were secure.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Why why do I get a feeling that guy's pulse
never got above like eighty.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I'm not sitting at a poker table with him, I
can tell you that.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And then what happened, Well, then I went up and
I got a slice of pizza, and then came back
and you guys wanted to talk to me so I
made a phone call, I played some played some tetras
on my phone, and now you guys are here talking
just a regular that's people who make decisions like that.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Actually we got to stop them. Okay, his pulse says
boop boopoo.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah again, as you said, you'd like to think in
those moments, you're while you're not trying to play hero,
you're trying to assess the situation, uh and bring it
to a natural end as safely as you can. But
just I don't know his tone there, man, that is depressive.
(08:32):
There's there's no quiver in his voice. There's no no
higher pitch because of the excitation of what's going on.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Though, just no, there was oh wow, there's a weapon.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon again, sometimes heroes
are just regular people who do stuff like this. But
as we always say, our businesses sports, our thoughts are
with Kansas City and hoping for good news as we
continue to patrol the night here.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
But you know we mentioned a few minutes ago, look the.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Forty nine ers, the tire fire that is the forty
nine ers continues a lot going on there, Kyle Shanahan
firing their defensive coordinator Steve Wilkes today, which again you
hear all they heard not surprising, so you know that, Okay,
this wasn't the case of well, Steve Wilkes is completely
taken by now a bit of a dirty pool that
he does it two days after the Super Bowl when
he's getting all kinds of flag for decisions he made. Yeah,
(09:20):
but still it's okay. But this underscores what we said
last night that Patrick Mahomes is a dream killer because
you think your team is gonna win the Super Bowl,
but you had Mahomes has just been in four out
of five and won three. He's gonna be in three
of the next five and win at least two of those,
maybe all three of those. Your team's not winning. You're
the forty nine ers. You add everything this year. You
(09:43):
added all. You had everything, man. You had the quarterback
with the great contract. You had the running back who
stayed healthy, had the great wide receivers, you had the
great tight end, you had the great defense, you stayed
healthy all season long, you had home field. You add everything,
and you lost, and now you're a dumpster fire. Offensive
linemen are fighting with each other. You missed the block,
no you missed the block. Dude, I'm sorry. I said
(10:04):
you missed the block though, but that was really your fault.
I was drum Brandon Aiyuk said, you know, family members
saying I may not be back next year. Oh, some
players saying we didn't know the overtime rules on Oh,
but don't blame Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
We didn't know the rules. They are a tire fire.
This is why it said.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
This is why you can't just think, oh yeah, that's
why it's depressing a bit, because Mahomes is gonna stop
you from winning. And look at what's happened to the
forty nine ers just in the in the thirty six
hours after the super bullets. Oh my god, they can't
They got so many fires, they can't put them out.
Think they don't have enough fire extincut with shirts. But
look what he's done two years in a row.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
He's done this to teams that look set up for
long term sustained success. Look at what Philadelphia coming back
into this year. The assumption is it's them in the
forty nine ers.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh we're getting we're back. We have the best roster,
we're getting back.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Right, you evaluate the top five rosters. There were two
of them because Kansas City sure as hell wasn't. Oh
it was an offense. They were middle of the back. Right,
what did they finish fourteenth or fifteenth in terms of
points per game? So you look at Philadelphia and the
way that disintegrated. Yeah, a couple of the coordinators got jobs,
got replaced, but personnel wise, you had everything you could
(11:12):
want and then some And what did you have one
of the worst losing It was them in the Jaguars
the race to the bottom in the second half of
the season. Forty nine ers defense maybe not too far behind, right,
because from week ten on and certainly in the playoffs,
you saw a bunch of holes and now you have
all the Well, it was Shanahan trying to call the
defense and doing this. And for Steve Wilks, it's another
(11:34):
one and done scenario which is now becoming a hallmark
of his career. Like he comes in to be the cleaner.
He's not that guy. But it's another reminder of when
ever anybody walks out of a big game, whether it's
a playoff game, a conference title game, or the Super Bowl,
and fans or anybody is trying to tell you how
great thing is it goes back to the old picture
(11:55):
of a duck. Everything's serene, everybody's whistling, everybody's happy. Underneath,
he's swimming his ass off, trying to keep afloat. And
that's what these teams are doing right now.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Dream killer, he'd get He killed the dreams of the Bills,
the Bill, this was this was it. We got the
Chiefs at home. We're gonna nope, you're going home again.
I mean, just that's what And that's how fast you
go from we're great too, we got problems.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
You were just talking about it and now you're saying
Patrick Mahomes is, well there there's this with sports going
to the super Bowl. Just being realistic with Mahomes, He's
gonna kill your dreams at a lot of strange things
happen in these football highways. Exit out bout of Frasca,
exit swelling down. We got more NFL on the way,
but coming up next.
Speaker 1 (12:36):

Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon live from the tire Rag dot com Studios.
We just watched the Lakers win six out of seven
now for LA one thirty eight, one twenty two over
the Jazz Spencer. Dinwiddie ten points for assist, couple of steals,
a little bit better night than in his debut. But
(14:43):
the Lakers look like maybe.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
They are they officially? Are they back? Are they back? Well?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Joining us down the hot line to break it all
down and maybe to find out just how close Lebron
could have been to being a warrior at the deadline.
Fox Sports One NBA ins Rick Buker, who joins us
from the Clippers Warriors game where he is set to
go out and play shooting guard for Klay Thompson in
the second half.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Rick, warm up your arms. Just keep taking threes, my
friend as well.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Yeah, hey, I can do that with the best of them,
trust me.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I was.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
I was on the I was on the Dell Curry
model a long time ago. You just run from three
point line to three point line, and when you're running
back on defense, as soon as you get there, you
yell help.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
And then when you run up, you clap for the
ball until they give it to you.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Hey. Absolutely, you don't step inside that three point RC
so you probably you know you got to run about
thirty thirty five feet.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I can do that, all right.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Get a couple up downs, Rick, Rick Bucker for three
off the iron, Look at him, get back. Oh no,
that's a layup the other way.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
He just yelled half.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
That's right exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Who keeps yelling healthy? You keep we keep hearing in
the background. Now that's Bucker.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
And as soon as you go by, as soon as
the guy goes buy you, you can turn and you
raise your arms like, where was the hell?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Hey, Rick? The Knicks could have used you tonight. All.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Come on, look at that. The Knixt has kind of
fallen off lately. Did you notice that? I mean I
had them, I had them so high in the rankings.
And obviously the the altitude must have got to them,
because in a complete ral, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
The Orlando altitude is very underrated. People don't talk about
that as much. You spend the whole day at Disneyland,
and and and then try to go play a game,
see how it goes very different.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
I was actually I was actually just down there attended
the Magic San Antonio game, and so I knew that
the Magic we're finding their way. And obviously the NIXT
of injury laden and and Tibbs is doing what Tibbs does,
which is you know, there was a stretch there where
(16:53):
there I can't even remember the game, but there was
a couple of games where I'm like, why are stealing
bunch and still on the floor? What are we doing here?
And and and that's always my concern and along and
I think we talked about this when they acquired uh
Bugdanovitch and and and the new pieces, which is like,
now you have to incorporate them, and and they're not
(17:18):
defensive players per se, They're more offensive players and and
it takes a deft hand to do that. And I
just I have my questions whether whether Tibbs can can
make the most out of this roster and what bringing
in those additional pieces does to the Villanova uh, the
Villanova chemistry. And obviously right now they're they're they're banged
(17:38):
up and limping into the All Star Break. I think
they still have a formidable team, uh, particularly in the
in the Eastern Conference, with which I think is is
wide open. But like the things that have always that
we've always raised questions about where the Knicks are going
to go under Tom Thibodeau, none of those I haven't
(18:01):
seen a change of of of attitude or approach. And again,
you know, they can be great in January and February,
but it's like, what kind of shape are they in
when it comes to April? How good are they going
to be? Because at this point that's really where the
Knicks have to make them mark. They've shown that they
can be a playoff team in the last couple of years,
(18:25):
and now the expectations are rising in terms of can
we can we get past the second round?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, but look, here's where things are fine. What did
I tell you last week? My biggest worry was the
nixt peak too early. Obviously, don't have to worry about
that anymore. So we're okay, all right, hey, look you're
you're there. You're there for the Warriors tonight. And we
saw that story today that hey, the Warriors called the
Lakers about potentially trying to get Lebron to unite with
(18:50):
Steph Curry and you know with the Warriors. Was that
just a phone call that happened for five minutes? How
deep did that go?
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Like?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Was it we get to the point where, hey, man,
Lebron could be.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
A war.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
It never had a chance. And this is why I
feel for Mike Dunley Junior taking over from Bob Byers.
And this is what Bob Myers was great at because
this is driven by Joe Lincoln and there are ways
to find out whether you could potentially get Lebron James. Now,
on the face of it, you look at it and go,
there is no way in hell Lebron James is leaving LA.
(19:24):
First of all, just he's not leaving La. He's he's
set there and he's certainly not leaving La to come
to Golden State to be to to rent a room
in Stephen Curry's house. But that's not happening. The two
were going to have the opportunity to play together in
the Olympics and and and play for Steve Kerr there,
(19:47):
but Lebron is not going to come in and be
second fiddle here. So this is the problem is you
have an owner who wanted it, like, didn't go back channel,
like literally calls the Lakers and wants to find out
whether they can get Lebron James or not. Well, if
(20:09):
I'm Rob Palinko or I'm a Genie Buss, I'm immediately thinking, oh,
we love to get this story out there, because one,
there's no way that Lebron is leaving. But two, if
we do get the story out there, then the players
in the Warriors locker room were going to be looking
around and going we were trying to get Lebron. Who
among us was in order to get Lebron. So you
(20:34):
don't get Lebron, but you do screw up potentially your
locker room and your chemistry. Now do I think that
will happen? I don't. I don't think that we'll linger,
But that's the risk that you run, and it's a
risk that you don't. I mean, it's really I mean,
if it's the profile of what Joe Lacob has done
done in the past, and it was reported that Lacob
(20:56):
was the one who initiated to call and explored it,
and it's and it's what Bob Myers stopped a multitude
of times and didn't allow to become an issue. We
got a couple of them out there when he was
when he wanted to trade Klay Thompson in order to
get Kevin Love and and and Bob was able to
(21:19):
put the Kebash on that and not have it affect
the team. But this is where like when you have
an owner who thinks she's the smartest guy in the room,
it can cause problems for you. And at the end
of the day, that's what it is. It's it's kimulating
for us in the media, like, oh, we'd like it
gives us something to talk about it, it's interesting and whatever,
but it never had a chance of happening, and the
(21:42):
news of it, it doesn't It doesn't affect the Lakers,
but it certainly affects the Warriors detentially.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Yeah, nothing else in Bolden's maybe the Lakers let me
let me stay with the trade stuff. All the Darryl
Morey talk of him picking up does he have to
call from a burner phone? How many guys have him blocked?
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Yeah, it's I mean Darrel's Darrel's got that reputation. So
and and and the interesting place that for for Philly
right now. And I don't know if we talked about it,
like I get Kyle Lowry signing there, but if they
don't get Joel m B back, like this, this season's
(22:25):
a wash. Like what I don't I don't see anything
has significant happening, not only getting m B back, but
getting him back in shape and getting into a place
where where this team works. I actually had had the
Sixers as a dark horse to to represent the Eastern
Conference this year to get to the finals. So I
(22:46):
thought this was their their best chance, in part because
of the way MB was playing and but but without him,
this is this is a team that is probably scraping
into the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Fock Sports one NBA Inside of Rick Buker, our guest
to Jason Smiths with Mike Carmon lot from the tiraq
dot Com Studios. Rick on Twitter at Rick Buker that
is at rebuke. Of course, check out the on the
Ball podcast, which I'm sure this week, Rick, What is
it you you're breaking down all the Knicks losses in
the last uh.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Is that what you're doing right now? No?
Speaker 7 (23:20):
No, I'm actually uh, I'm working on how we fix
the uh, the All Star voting. And and it's actually
kind of interesting, like if you go back, like we
think of the All Star selection process as as being
(23:41):
this uh, this very finite thing. Man, if you go
back through the history of it, we've been We've been
this thing has been a marketing gimmick, and we attached
so much meaning to uh to being an All Star.
And and the fact of the matter is, like the
way that the players are selected is not reflective of
(24:07):
who's great in that season. But when we get to
talking about Hall of Fame or any of those things,
it's the first thing, you know, one of the first
things to talk about, he's an eight time All Star. Well,
if you if you dig into how that guy ended
up being an a time All Star, ends up like
he might have had three good seasons. And so that's
more than you wanted to know about this week's podcast,
(24:28):
which I had recorded it, I would have it half
done now.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
So Rick, let me ask you this because look, obviously.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
We're sitting at we're getting towards the break, and you know, look,
big questions about the Lakers. They're playing well now, maybe
seem to figure something out. The Knicks need something. At
what point do the Bucks look for a new head
coach if they fall out of the playoffs, if.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
They fall into the playing round? Like what how much?
How much? How much cachet does Doc Rivers have here?
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Well, I look again, you're only as good as your option.
So it's a matter of like, okay, you get rid
of Doc, who are you hiring next to fix this thing?
And the reality is that they came into the season
with the oldest team in the league, and they traded
(25:16):
away their second best defensive player and everybody else got
a year older. And so I just I thought that
the Bucks in trading for Damien, and let's face it,
they traded for Damien not so much because they were
(25:36):
convinced that it got them closer to winning a championship.
I think people on the outside wrote that, oh now
they have that go to guy Damien and Giannis and
you know that. But the reality is they did that
because that's what Yannis wanted. And the trade off was,
I will extend my contract and stay in Milwaukee, or
(25:57):
guarantee that I'm staying in Milwaukee if you try for
Gamian Loewer, who I've always wanted to play with. So
that's what they did. It was a uh, it was
a deal may to assure that they were keeping Giannis.
More so a deal made because they thought it got
him closer to a championship.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
He's on Twitter at Rick Buker, that is at Rick
Buker the On the Ball podcast, and please go and
look at Rick's tweet from February ninth, where he has
Jalen Brunson third in the MVP voting. I mean, I
realized it was a few days ago, but still look
at that. Well, it's only been a week, Jalen Brunton.
It's not been his fault. They played with four.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Guys to as soon as he started his podcast, Rick,
it all went to hell.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Thanks thanks for a learning freezing gold cold take for
to go find that tweet. Appreciate it all.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Publicity, good public Rick.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Look, the Knicks played Ken the Animal Banister tonight for
a little while.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Power forward. All right, just they're they're they're injured a
little bit. It's okay, Matthew, need you all right, take
any in the game money.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Enjoy the break there, Rick Bucker and great stuff on Lakeub.
Look you think about this is a story that had
no chance. And we told you last hour. Lebron's a laker, right,
he's a He's here for a reason. But just think
about that when Hey, this is where Bob Myers would
have said, yeah, you know what, I'll make that call
and I'll get back to you. And and meanwhile, I'm
(27:18):
gonna make that Hey, yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
It's not happening.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
We're not going all right, thanks a lot, but Mike
dunla I'll make the call and see what happens. Like like,
you forget sometimes some of the nuances that it takes
to be a general manager. And here's Mike Dunneley junior
new GM and Bob Myers. I mean, I'm wondering all
the different things. Listen, Oh you want to trade Steph
and Clay for for your honest you know what, I'll
make that call and I'll let you know. I'll let
you know how it goes.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
But it goes back to the example we give all
the time. What did Creed have on his computer? Oh yeah,
that's what it is putting. We're not putting Creede on
the internet. We just to just get a word document.
He thinks he's on the internet. The O thing here, Hey,
your phone is not connected. You know, Bob, maybe.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
If I like email, uh you know Genie Buss myself
maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem, no problem, give me,
I'll give me for minutes, I'll get that email address.
And then he goes and gets a burner email. That's
Genie with like two ends, you know, bus at lakers
dot com. Here's where email and it really comes right
to right to Joe Laker, right to Bob Myers's Yeah, sorry,
not in in the deal. Thanks for for reaching out
(28:17):
to Hello Lakers dot.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Why dream of Genie Gmail? Hey? Now, really she's the
owner of the team. It's gotten down a whole other
path then, you know, you.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Know these kids nowadays, they got crazy emails. But I
think she's in her sixties. That doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
It's seriously, after the night, guys, I'm starting to think
we don't need Lebron James. Wow, you want to start,
Go ahead, give me a stacky Dean Ruey, the first
Laker teammates since Kobe and Shock and three to put
up thirty five plus in the game. And then for
a second they want they wanted to push Ruey out
(28:55):
of town, and now they won five out of six, they.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Want to push him out of town. The Jayson Smith Show.

twenty minutes. You're gonna want to hear about what happened
in Kansas City today. But coming up next, how about
a little bit of fun One NFL former NFL coach
(29:23):
said he would almost rather throw up than listen to
Tony Romo broadcast a game.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
How about that. We'll tell you who that is.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
And a Big Bowl prediction is to what could be
next on your television for football this fall?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox. Is it Batman?
It's not Batman, but it could be Batman, could be
le Lego Batman.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My bes
friend Mike Harmon live from the tire rack dot Com Studios.
And uh, you know, there's criticism that just doesn't seem
to go away following the Super Bowl. And yes, Kyle
Shanahan is getting most of it. But Tony Romo, who
was having a pretty good super Bowl right up until
(30:11):
the end when he decided to jump in on Jim
Nantz's final call at the end, and all the good
he did the first sixty plus minutes out, Oh I
can't believe hedn't let that breathe now. Look, people want
to hate Tony Romo, and I get it. So there
they want to jump on it and say, oh, we
ruined it. Yeah, okay, did he start talking? Could he
waited ten more seconds? Yes he could have. He had
a pretty good super Bowl. I'm sure he'll be back
(30:32):
on the number one team next year. But this doesn't
mean people still have had it enough of him. Former
NFL coach Charlie Weisse from a Notre Dame. Head coach
Charlie Weiss went on a show on Sirius XM earlier
today called airing It Out with Giants play by play
man Bob Papa, and he was asked about watching the
game and listening to the announcers, what do you do?
(30:53):
And he said, you know, there's some announcers I really
enjoy listening to, but then there's announcers where if I
have to listen, I'd either go to the bathroom and
throw up. Sunday, that was one of the times where
I preferred not to listen to the announcers and watch
the game. So he would have rather gone to the
bathroom and throw up than listen to Jim Nansen Tony
Romo a tradition unlike any other.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Sounds like a lot of fans when he became a
head coach as opposed to his coordinator days, a lot
of fans would have liked to have been in the
bathroom rather than seeing the effort on Sure from some
of his sure, sure, you know it's it's still not
the dumbest criticism that came out.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Okay, one of our radio you know legends.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Continues to get contracts just based on how much dumber
can he sound the next time he opens his mouth?
Speaker 3 (31:45):
You know, the mad dog.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Oh but the Taylor swift and they shut her all
the time.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
But fifty four seconds his rants far.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Longer, yeah than the fifty four the fifty four seconds.
But yes, Charlie whis thought of was retired? Thought he retired?
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Now I'm tired. I had the greatest It was more
tired retirement.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Uh, and then say something else more acidin the next
time you hit the radio dial.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
But yeah, well, Charlie Weiss, look, Tony Romo stepped on
Nance's great jackpot line. He gave it three seconds? Right?
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Should it have been a full Yohannis at the free
throw line fifteen or whatever it's become.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (32:28):
But if that, if that's the thing that you know,
you decided, Oh, I gotta come up with a funny
line for this guy about who I like to listen.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
To or not?
Speaker 3 (32:36):
You know, beat it. It's first up we've said Charlie
Wess's name. Oh, I know, right, Charlie.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
What there is he is getting involved? No, but but
this this lends to a bigger conversation because we're all
spending time talking about oh, Tony Romo next year and
what's gonna happen? And I think it was one of
the blogs today put this out that hey, what if
next year, uh, for Tom Brady or for Greg Olsen,
Tony Romo goes to the studio and Greg Olsen becomes
(33:03):
the number one guy with Jim Nantz and there could
be changes there.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
And honest, I mean that's not gonna happen because look.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Romo's Hey, Romo makes his hey breaking down the game
as it's going on. So it really, I mean, I
don't want him in the studio. But I'm telling you
this is where you're gonna see a big time change
your television the next couple of years. For the for
the pregame shows. Is that a lot of the CBS
guys their contracts are coming up. And it's just not CBS,
I mean Fox is gonna have to look at it too.
(33:31):
Is that at some point in your pregame shows, you
gotta start going a little bit younger, right, you gotta
go a little bit younger because because people people watching
these these these shows.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Look and I watch a lot of CBS because I
watched the Jets, and you know, people don't remember that
Bill Kauer was a Super Bowl winning coach. I mean,
these are guys been on the air for a long time,
and eventually they're gonna want guys on there that can
that can jump in and provide a jolt of energy.
It's why CBS brought Nate Berlson in, right, And eventually
that's what it's gonna be and pregame shows because eventually
(34:02):
it's gonna be, Okay, these guys like Phil Sims that
have been there forever, these guys are out and they're
gonna bring in guys that really have things to say
because you could, look, it's gonna be it's gonna look
like undisputed or or or or first take whatever you
want when suddenly it's gonna be five guys just arguing
about stuff. But at least these are gonna be athletes
that that people watch and remember, and they're gonna have
(34:24):
something to say because, like I said, when I watch CBS,
is it look Phil Simms needed to go to the
need and go from the from the broadcast booth to
the to the off of their to the to the
pregame show when he started saying things that I knew
about and when let all of us know, oh the
ball is wet now hard for the quarterback to throw it.
All these things, yes, yes, yes, oh what happens here
at the end of the game. The swirling winds makes
it difficult to kick a field goal. But when I
(34:47):
see CBS, especially right because like I said, I watch
a lot of Jets, I go, they say things on
the pregame shows. Now that I say to myself, this
is like the most elementary things in football. I mean,
and and I say to me, I go, there's gotta
be some kind of change at some point.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
That be something.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
And now with contracts being up, it's a lot of
the CBO. There may be a bunch of new guys
doing the games at CBS and other places next year.
Oh no, fully expected. And you know, we look at
our team the NFL on Fox and Fox NFL Sunday.
I mean, you hope they're they're there forever, but you know,
you have.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
The reality of father time comes in health issues and
whatever else. Look, Jimmy's still full of fire. Unfortunately, you know,
for the NFC title game, Terry Bradshaw wasn't available dealing
with some health stuff. I mean, so you're trying to
still relevant in a big way. But yeah, you've got
to have that long term play And why you saw Burlison,
why you saw JJ Watt into the mix, why you
(35:41):
see some of these guys starting to crack the rotations.
The other is, you know, to your point about the
elemental stuff, you only got like fifteen seconds before the
next guy has to talk, when you got seven guys
sitting at a desk.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, but still, you know, I mean, I feel like
I should be getting more insight than I do. I
shouldn't be getting way more because now we're so nuanced
to know that, yes, this is what happens, when this
is what so and so does. Well, I can go
on Twitter many times and I can go, wow, I
just got a much better breakdown of that play from
a guy whose name I don't even know than what
I just saw. Hey, you gotta be able to run
(36:15):
the football in the second half. Okay, great, Hey gotta
be able to start. Hey, they allowed three hundred and
twenty yards passing in the front. Gotta shut down the
pass again. Really, thanks a lot for that. I appreciate that.
I mean, you got to give me stuff that that
I can say, oh, Okay, this is this is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I understand, what do you got prospering. There's a reason
you're getting elementary breakdowns. It's because you're watching the Jets
as I'm watching the Jets.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
There is something but but again, you're trying to figure
out you're broadcasting right, and you're trying to figure out
the gradients. Some schools of how deep you can you
can get into a nuanced discussion versus all right, let's
go to some of the captain obvious stuff right for
the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Mean, do you look at how much of a new
audience you got for that? You can't go deep break down?
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Just put Taylor Swift if you if you want some
just just if you want that, put Taylor Swift on.
Put Taylor Swift on the pregame show. It's I mean,
there's it, But I'm selling you you're gonna need something
because you need you need some kind of shift that's
coming really really soon. Me exit out about a Fresca

Hello and welcome inside hour two of The Jason Smith

ti rack dot com studios. Tirack dot com, I help
you get there at unmatched election, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tyrack
dot com the way tire buying should be well. Obviously,
(00:50):
we talked tonight for a couple minutes. Here are heavy
hearts with Kansas City, as we talked about last hour
on the show. Now reports a second person has died,
per the Kansas City Star. After the shooting today at
the Kansasity Chiefs Parade. Twenty two people were shot, eleven
of them children, all between the ages of six and fifteen.
(01:12):
The one thing we have to hold on to here.
It looks like all of the children are going to
be okay. Now there are some other people who are
in life threatening situations.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
The medical their medical situation.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Right now is fluid, and we will know more, hopefully
as we move forward, and to just to talk about
it a little bit differently than we did last hour
on the show. I can't say enough about what it
means to watch a video of a bunch of people
seeing a gunman fleeing the scene where shots have just
(01:48):
gone out, and without any weapons themselves, without any weapons themselves,
they ran and tackled the guy and waited for police
to get here. I mean that is just absolutely something. Now, Look,
you always want to think you're gonna be that guy
to do it. I'd be that guy, and that's I'd
be that guy when it comes down to it. Someone
is shot and he's running away, Are you really running
(02:09):
after him? I mean that takes something extra special to
go out and tackle a guy. Now, I get the
guy's not in a shooting position, maybe he wasn't holding
the gun, and you're thinking making that split decision. I
can knock this guy on his ass, I can knock
this guy in his ass and everything people are gonna
help me and that's gonna be good. It's one thing
to think that is another thing to actually do it.
And to see not one, not two, three, four, five
(02:30):
people jumping on top of him and then you got
to worry about getting the gun away from him, holding
him down and police coming. That's something, man, I mean
you want to talk about here is I wish there
was a better angle of that. But I've been watching
that most of the day today and just thinking how
outstanding of a job that is. And they got a
shout out from the UH from the mayor today who
talked about it. Hey, we have reports that they held
(02:50):
a gunman down for police to get there, and they
took three people into custody. So you're talking about thirty
three percent of the people responsible for these shooters. These
people saw running and said we're gonna go take this down.
I've got no weapons, no weapons, and they did it.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
But in you know, the grander scale, it's in direct
contrast to so many orders to just kind of stand
and watch people do whatever they want. Right if you,
if you work retail, folks come in, smash, grab whatever,
you're supposed to just stand down. So the fact that
in a day and age where that's kind of become
the accepted way of going. People said like that, I
(03:24):
got a shot, I'm taking the guy down, and you
don't know what other weapons might have been there, how
many other people at that point, how many people are involved?
But in that moment, man running in a coat, maybe
there's another weapon on his person. You have no idea,
but without with regard not for yourself but for the
(03:45):
thousands of people that are around to stop this. I mean,
that's that's one of those fight or flight moments, heroic
moments that just go down in history of you might
have cut off something even more right, You have no
idea how this the endgame or what they're thinking, all
of those things that we now will try to find
(04:09):
some of the answers of why, Like we talked about
last hour, but the action of a big hit and
you know, everybody's like, all right, figure out the GoFundMe.
You know, chip in for a beer or for a meal.
These guys shouldn't pay for anything that's are live the chiefs.
The chiefs do they send them title rings?
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Now?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
You know you get one of these encrusted WWE belt,
whatever the case is here's the key to the city,
but heroic measures and then the family that were nearby,
uh to hammer this and keep it from from growing.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Just a huge moment. And not all heroes wear capes.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Some of them wear jeans, sneakers, hoodies, baseball hats, sweatshirts, sweatpants.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Why do I think you're doing.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'm just saying, I mean, regular people out of the
out of regular people, just out out of a parade.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But let's just tell you, I have to tackle this
guy to say I'm int do this.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, here's con dress however they want to.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
But just an amazing thing, right, because I mean we've
seen the video that you know, you have these interviews
on the side talking about the parade, what a great
event is Travis Kelsey singing all the cutaways, and then
you've got the one that has the actual sound of
gunshot in the in the background and everybody looking around
trying to figure out the origin. And in that chaos,
(05:31):
these folks were able to act and keep their heads
and have heard numerous on our news station here in
La KFI. They were playing a lot of the audio
of people who were, you know, their first hand accounts
of what transpired in the in their section of the crowd,
some harrowing tales and people that obviously you know, had
worked on exit plans. And that's the sad thing is
(05:53):
that we've got to do that to a great degree
in our schools, in our homes of all right, what
happens if back in the day, it was you know,
mom sent you out and you stayed until the street
lights went on, then it was all right, you probably
had twenty minutes. You better be back in the house.
Now we're creating plans if things go awride this nature,
(06:14):
which is a sad reality but one that we face
each day.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Now, here's Paul Contreris, who is one of the guys
who tackled the alleged shooter. Here's what he had to
say following his heroics earlier today.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
One guy was hollering, saying, you know, stop him, Jay
or catch him, you know, tackle him whatever, and he's
just just bailing, running and out of nowhere. I heard
that guy hollering, So I'm just like, okay, well I'm
right here, and I just I never think about it,
just a reaction and I didn't hesitate, it was just
(06:47):
just do it. So I went to go tackle, and
an other gentleman did the same thing. And as I'm
tackling him, I see his weapon either fall out of
his hand or out of his sleep because he's wearn't
a long jacket like a car heart. So when I
seen that hit the ground, I'm like, oh, you know,
we got to take this guy down. And so, like
(07:08):
I said, I did, and then another good Samaritan did and
we held him down.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Just regular dude saw the guy did it? Saw was
a weapon? Oh wow, he was under his jacket. But
I mean that look good. I don't know how long.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
It transpired, like what's the time between the incident and
this interview, But I mean you're talking about well, yeah,
well there's a weapon. Oh wow, Yeah, yeah, we got I.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Mean, just gon.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
No.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
But that's just it, right, the videos that went against
the weapons that they put on that were secure.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Why why do I get a feeling that guy's pulse
never got above like eighty.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I'm not sitting at a poker table with him, I
can tell you that.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And then what happened, Well, then I went up and
I got a slice of pizza, and then came back
and you guys wanted to talk to me so I
made a phone call, I played some played some tetras
on my phone, and now you guys are here talking
just a regular that's people who make decisions like that.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Actually we got to stop them. Okay, his pulse says
boop boopoo.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah again, as you said, you'd like to think in
those moments, you're while you're not trying to play hero,
you're trying to assess the situation, uh and bring it
to a natural end as safely as you can. But
just I don't know his tone there, man, that is depressive.
(08:32):
There's there's no quiver in his voice. There's no no
higher pitch because of the excitation of what's going on.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Though, just no, there was oh wow, there's a weapon.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon again, sometimes heroes
are just regular people who do stuff like this. But
as we always say, our businesses sports, our thoughts are
with Kansas City and hoping for good news as we
continue to patrol the night here.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
But you know we mentioned a few minutes ago, look the.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Forty nine ers, the tire fire that is the forty
nine ers continues a lot going on there, Kyle Shanahan
firing their defensive coordinator Steve Wilkes today, which again you
hear all they heard not surprising, so you know that, Okay,
this wasn't the case of well, Steve Wilkes is completely
taken by now a bit of a dirty pool that
he does it two days after the Super Bowl when
he's getting all kinds of flag for decisions he made. Yeah,
(09:20):
but still it's okay. But this underscores what we said
last night that Patrick Mahomes is a dream killer because
you think your team is gonna win the Super Bowl,
but you had Mahomes has just been in four out
of five and won three. He's gonna be in three
of the next five and win at least two of those,
maybe all three of those. Your team's not winning. You're
the forty nine ers. You add everything this year. You
(09:43):
added all. You had everything, man. You had the quarterback
with the great contract. You had the running back who
stayed healthy, had the great wide receivers, you had the
great tight end, you had the great defense, you stayed
healthy all season long, you had home field. You add everything,
and you lost, and now you're a dumpster fire. Offensive
linemen are fighting with each other. You missed the block,
no you missed the block. Dude, I'm sorry. I said
(10:04):
you missed the block though, but that was really your fault.
I was drum Brandon Aiyuk said, you know, family members
saying I may not be back next year. Oh, some
players saying we didn't know the overtime rules on Oh,
but don't blame Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
We didn't know the rules. They are a tire fire.
This is why it said.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
This is why you can't just think, oh yeah, that's
why it's depressing a bit, because Mahomes is gonna stop
you from winning. And look at what's happened to the
forty nine ers just in the in the thirty six
hours after the super bullets. Oh my god, they can't
They got so many fires, they can't put them out.
Think they don't have enough fire extincut with shirts. But
look what he's done two years in a row.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
He's done this to teams that look set up for
long term sustained success. Look at what Philadelphia coming back
into this year. The assumption is it's them in the
forty nine ers.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh we're getting we're back. We have the best roster,
we're getting back.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Right, you evaluate the top five rosters. There were two
of them because Kansas City sure as hell wasn't. Oh
it was an offense. They were middle of the back. Right,
what did they finish fourteenth or fifteenth in terms of
points per game? So you look at Philadelphia and the
way that disintegrated. Yeah, a couple of the coordinators got jobs,
got replaced, but personnel wise, you had everything you could
(11:12):
want and then some And what did you have one
of the worst losing It was them in the Jaguars
the race to the bottom in the second half of
the season. Forty nine ers defense maybe not too far behind, right,
because from week ten on and certainly in the playoffs,
you saw a bunch of holes and now you have
all the Well, it was Shanahan trying to call the
defense and doing this. And for Steve Wilks, it's another
(11:34):
one and done scenario which is now becoming a hallmark
of his career. Like he comes in to be the cleaner.
He's not that guy. But it's another reminder of when
ever anybody walks out of a big game, whether it's
a playoff game, a conference title game, or the Super Bowl,
and fans or anybody is trying to tell you how
great thing is it goes back to the old picture
(11:55):
of a duck. Everything's serene, everybody's whistling, everybody's happy. Underneath,
he's swimming his ass off, trying to keep afloat. And
that's what these teams are doing right now.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Dream killer, he'd get He killed the dreams of the Bills,
the Bill, this was this was it. We got the
Chiefs at home. We're gonna nope, you're going home again.
I mean, just that's what And that's how fast you
go from we're great too, we got problems.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
You were just talking about it and now you're saying
Patrick Mahomes is, well there there's this with sports going
to the super Bowl. Just being realistic with Mahomes, He's
gonna kill your dreams at a lot of strange things
happen in these football highways. Exit out bout of Frasca,
exit swelling down. We got more NFL on the way,
but coming up next.

Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon live from the tire Rag dot com Studios.
We just watched the Lakers win six out of seven
now for LA one thirty eight, one twenty two over
the Jazz Spencer. Dinwiddie ten points for assist, couple of steals,
a little bit better night than in his debut. But
(14:43):
the Lakers look like maybe.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
They are they officially? Are they back? Are they back? Well?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Joining us down the hot line to break it all
down and maybe to find out just how close Lebron
could have been to being a warrior at the deadline.
Fox Sports One NBA ins Rick Buker, who joins us
from the Clippers Warriors game where he is set to
go out and play shooting guard for Klay Thompson in
the second half.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Rick, warm up your arms. Just keep taking threes, my
friend as well.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Yeah, hey, I can do that with the best of them,
trust me.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I was.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
I was on the I was on the Dell Curry
model a long time ago. You just run from three
point line to three point line, and when you're running
back on defense, as soon as you get there, you
yell help.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
And then when you run up, you clap for the
ball until they give it to you.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Hey. Absolutely, you don't step inside that three point RC
so you probably you know you got to run about
thirty thirty five feet.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I can do that, all right.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Get a couple up downs, Rick, Rick Bucker for three
off the iron, Look at him, get back. Oh no,
that's a layup the other way.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
He just yelled half.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
That's right exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Who keeps yelling healthy? You keep we keep hearing in
the background. Now that's Bucker.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
And as soon as you go by, as soon as
the guy goes buy you, you can turn and you
raise your arms like, where was the hell?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Hey, Rick? The Knicks could have used you tonight. All.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Come on, look at that. The Knixt has kind of
fallen off lately. Did you notice that? I mean I
had them, I had them so high in the rankings.
And obviously the the altitude must have got to them,
because in a complete ral, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
The Orlando altitude is very underrated. People don't talk about
that as much. You spend the whole day at Disneyland,
and and and then try to go play a game,
see how it goes very different.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
I was actually I was actually just down there attended
the Magic San Antonio game, and so I knew that
the Magic we're finding their way. And obviously the NIXT
of injury laden and and Tibbs is doing what Tibbs does,
which is you know, there was a stretch there where
(16:53):
there I can't even remember the game, but there was
a couple of games where I'm like, why are stealing
bunch and still on the floor? What are we doing here?
And and and that's always my concern and along and
I think we talked about this when they acquired uh
Bugdanovitch and and and the new pieces, which is like,
now you have to incorporate them, and and they're not
(17:18):
defensive players per se, They're more offensive players and and
it takes a deft hand to do that. And I
just I have my questions whether whether Tibbs can can
make the most out of this roster and what bringing
in those additional pieces does to the Villanova uh, the
Villanova chemistry. And obviously right now they're they're they're banged
(17:38):
up and limping into the All Star Break. I think
they still have a formidable team, uh, particularly in the
in the Eastern Conference, with which I think is is
wide open. But like the things that have always that
we've always raised questions about where the Knicks are going
to go under Tom Thibodeau, none of those I haven't
(18:01):
seen a change of of of attitude or approach. And again,
you know, they can be great in January and February,
but it's like, what kind of shape are they in
when it comes to April? How good are they going
to be? Because at this point that's really where the
Knicks have to make them mark. They've shown that they
can be a playoff team in the last couple of years,
(18:25):
and now the expectations are rising in terms of can
we can we get past the second round?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, but look, here's where things are fine. What did
I tell you last week? My biggest worry was the
nixt peak too early. Obviously, don't have to worry about
that anymore. So we're okay, all right, hey, look you're
you're there. You're there for the Warriors tonight. And we
saw that story today that hey, the Warriors called the
Lakers about potentially trying to get Lebron to unite with
(18:50):
Steph Curry and you know with the Warriors. Was that
just a phone call that happened for five minutes? How
deep did that go?
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Like?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Was it we get to the point where, hey, man,
Lebron could be.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
A war.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
It never had a chance. And this is why I
feel for Mike Dunley Junior taking over from Bob Byers.
And this is what Bob Myers was great at because
this is driven by Joe Lincoln and there are ways
to find out whether you could potentially get Lebron James. Now,
on the face of it, you look at it and go,
there is no way in hell Lebron James is leaving LA.
(19:24):
First of all, just he's not leaving La. He's he's
set there and he's certainly not leaving La to come
to Golden State to be to to rent a room
in Stephen Curry's house. But that's not happening. The two
were going to have the opportunity to play together in
the Olympics and and and play for Steve Kerr there,
(19:47):
but Lebron is not going to come in and be
second fiddle here. So this is the problem is you
have an owner who wanted it, like, didn't go back channel,
like literally calls the Lakers and wants to find out
whether they can get Lebron James or not. Well, if
(20:09):
I'm Rob Palinko or I'm a Genie Buss, I'm immediately thinking, oh,
we love to get this story out there, because one,
there's no way that Lebron is leaving. But two, if
we do get the story out there, then the players
in the Warriors locker room were going to be looking
around and going we were trying to get Lebron. Who
among us was in order to get Lebron. So you
(20:34):
don't get Lebron, but you do screw up potentially your
locker room and your chemistry. Now do I think that
will happen? I don't. I don't think that we'll linger,
But that's the risk that you run, and it's a
risk that you don't. I mean, it's really I mean,
if it's the profile of what Joe Lacob has done
done in the past, and it was reported that Lacob
(20:56):
was the one who initiated to call and explored it,
and it's and it's what Bob Myers stopped a multitude
of times and didn't allow to become an issue. We
got a couple of them out there when he was
when he wanted to trade Klay Thompson in order to
get Kevin Love and and and Bob was able to
(21:19):
put the Kebash on that and not have it affect
the team. But this is where like when you have
an owner who thinks she's the smartest guy in the room,
it can cause problems for you. And at the end
of the day, that's what it is. It's it's kimulating
for us in the media, like, oh, we'd like it
gives us something to talk about it, it's interesting and whatever,
but it never had a chance of happening, and the
(21:42):
news of it, it doesn't It doesn't affect the Lakers,
but it certainly affects the Warriors detentially.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Yeah, nothing else in Bolden's maybe the Lakers let me
let me stay with the trade stuff. All the Darryl
Morey talk of him picking up does he have to
call from a burner phone? How many guys have him blocked?
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Yeah, it's I mean Darrel's Darrel's got that reputation. So
and and and the interesting place that for for Philly
right now. And I don't know if we talked about it,
like I get Kyle Lowry signing there, but if they
don't get Joel m B back, like this, this season's
(22:25):
a wash. Like what I don't I don't see anything
has significant happening, not only getting m B back, but
getting him back in shape and getting into a place
where where this team works. I actually had had the
Sixers as a dark horse to to represent the Eastern
Conference this year to get to the finals. So I
(22:46):
thought this was their their best chance, in part because
of the way MB was playing and but but without him,
this is this is a team that is probably scraping
into the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Fock Sports one NBA Inside of Rick Buker, our guest
to Jason Smiths with Mike Carmon lot from the tiraq
dot Com Studios. Rick on Twitter at Rick Buker that
is at rebuke. Of course, check out the on the
Ball podcast, which I'm sure this week, Rick, What is
it you you're breaking down all the Knicks losses in
the last uh.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Is that what you're doing right now? No?
Speaker 7 (23:20):
No, I'm actually uh, I'm working on how we fix
the uh, the All Star voting. And and it's actually
kind of interesting, like if you go back, like we
think of the All Star selection process as as being
(23:41):
this uh, this very finite thing. Man, if you go
back through the history of it, we've been We've been
this thing has been a marketing gimmick, and we attached
so much meaning to uh to being an All Star.
And and the fact of the matter is, like the
way that the players are selected is not reflective of
(24:07):
who's great in that season. But when we get to
talking about Hall of Fame or any of those things,
it's the first thing, you know, one of the first
things to talk about, he's an eight time All Star. Well,
if you if you dig into how that guy ended
up being an a time All Star, ends up like
he might have had three good seasons. And so that's
more than you wanted to know about this week's podcast,
(24:28):
which I had recorded it, I would have it half
done now.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
So Rick, let me ask you this because look, obviously.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
We're sitting at we're getting towards the break, and you know, look,
big questions about the Lakers. They're playing well now, maybe
seem to figure something out. The Knicks need something. At
what point do the Bucks look for a new head
coach if they fall out of the playoffs, if.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
They fall into the playing round? Like what how much?
How much? How much cachet does Doc Rivers have here?
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Well, I look again, you're only as good as your option.
So it's a matter of like, okay, you get rid
of Doc, who are you hiring next to fix this thing?
And the reality is that they came into the season
with the oldest team in the league, and they traded
(25:16):
away their second best defensive player and everybody else got
a year older. And so I just I thought that
the Bucks in trading for Damien, and let's face it,
they traded for Damien not so much because they were
(25:36):
convinced that it got them closer to winning a championship.
I think people on the outside wrote that, oh now
they have that go to guy Damien and Giannis and
you know that. But the reality is they did that
because that's what Yannis wanted. And the trade off was,
I will extend my contract and stay in Milwaukee, or
(25:57):
guarantee that I'm staying in Milwaukee if you try for
Gamian Loewer, who I've always wanted to play with. So
that's what they did. It was a uh, it was
a deal may to assure that they were keeping Giannis.
More so a deal made because they thought it got
him closer to a championship.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
He's on Twitter at Rick Buker, that is at Rick
Buker the On the Ball podcast, and please go and
look at Rick's tweet from February ninth, where he has
Jalen Brunson third in the MVP voting. I mean, I
realized it was a few days ago, but still look
at that. Well, it's only been a week, Jalen Brunton.
It's not been his fault. They played with four.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Guys to as soon as he started his podcast, Rick,
it all went to hell.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Thanks thanks for a learning freezing gold cold take for
to go find that tweet. Appreciate it all.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Publicity, good public Rick.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Look, the Knicks played Ken the Animal Banister tonight for
a little while.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Power forward. All right, just they're they're they're injured a
little bit. It's okay, Matthew, need you all right, take
any in the game money.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Enjoy the break there, Rick Bucker and great stuff on Lakeub.
Look you think about this is a story that had
no chance. And we told you last hour. Lebron's a laker, right,
he's a He's here for a reason. But just think
about that when Hey, this is where Bob Myers would
have said, yeah, you know what, I'll make that call
and I'll get back to you. And and meanwhile, I'm
(27:18):
gonna make that Hey, yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
It's not happening.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
We're not going all right, thanks a lot, but Mike
dunla I'll make the call and see what happens. Like like,
you forget sometimes some of the nuances that it takes
to be a general manager. And here's Mike Dunneley junior
new GM and Bob Myers. I mean, I'm wondering all
the different things. Listen, Oh you want to trade Steph
and Clay for for your honest you know what, I'll
make that call and I'll let you know. I'll let
you know how it goes.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
But it goes back to the example we give all
the time. What did Creed have on his computer? Oh yeah,
that's what it is putting. We're not putting Creede on
the internet. We just to just get a word document.
He thinks he's on the internet. The O thing here, Hey,
your phone is not connected. You know, Bob, maybe.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
If I like email, uh you know Genie Buss myself
maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem, no problem, give me,
I'll give me for minutes, I'll get that email address.
And then he goes and gets a burner email. That's
Genie with like two ends, you know, bus at lakers
dot com. Here's where email and it really comes right
to right to Joe Laker, right to Bob Myers's Yeah, sorry,
not in in the deal. Thanks for for reaching out
(28:17):
to Hello Lakers dot.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Why dream of Genie Gmail? Hey? Now, really she's the
owner of the team. It's gotten down a whole other
path then, you know, you.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Know these kids nowadays, they got crazy emails. But I
think she's in her sixties. That doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
It's seriously, after the night, guys, I'm starting to think
we don't need Lebron James. Wow, you want to start,
Go ahead, give me a stacky Dean Ruey, the first
Laker teammates since Kobe and Shock and three to put
up thirty five plus in the game. And then for
a second they want they wanted to push Ruey out
(28:55):
of town, and now they won five out of six, they.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Want to push him out of town. The Jayson Smith Show.

With Mike Carmon Live from the tire Rack dot Com Studios,
phone number eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox on

have more NBA on the way, but straight ahead and
trust me, something we're going to talk about in about
twenty minutes. You're gonna want to hear about what happened
in Kansas City today. But coming up next, how about
a little bit of fun One NFL former NFL coach
(29:23):
said he would almost rather throw up than listen to
Tony Romo broadcast a game.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
How about that. We'll tell you who that is.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
And a Big Bowl prediction is to what could be
next on your television for football this fall?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox. Is it Batman?
It's not Batman, but it could be Batman, could be
le Lego Batman.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My bes
friend Mike Harmon live from the tire rack dot Com Studios.
And uh, you know, there's criticism that just doesn't seem
to go away following the Super Bowl. And yes, Kyle
Shanahan is getting most of it. But Tony Romo, who
was having a pretty good super Bowl right up until
(30:11):
the end when he decided to jump in on Jim
Nantz's final call at the end, and all the good
he did the first sixty plus minutes out, Oh I
can't believe hedn't let that breathe now. Look, people want
to hate Tony Romo, and I get it. So there
they want to jump on it and say, oh, we
ruined it. Yeah, okay, did he start talking? Could he
waited ten more seconds? Yes he could have. He had
a pretty good super Bowl. I'm sure he'll be back
(30:32):
on the number one team next year. But this doesn't
mean people still have had it enough of him. Former
NFL coach Charlie Weisse from a Notre Dame. Head coach
Charlie Weiss went on a show on Sirius XM earlier
today called airing It Out with Giants play by play
man Bob Papa, and he was asked about watching the
game and listening to the announcers, what do you do?
(30:53):
And he said, you know, there's some announcers I really
enjoy listening to, but then there's announcers where if I
have to listen, I'd either go to the bathroom and
throw up. Sunday, that was one of the times where
I preferred not to listen to the announcers and watch
the game. So he would have rather gone to the
bathroom and throw up than listen to Jim Nansen Tony
Romo a tradition unlike any other.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Sounds like a lot of fans when he became a
head coach as opposed to his coordinator days, a lot
of fans would have liked to have been in the
bathroom rather than seeing the effort on Sure from some
of his sure, sure, you know it's it's still not
the dumbest criticism that came out.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Okay, one of our radio you know legends.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Continues to get contracts just based on how much dumber
can he sound the next time he opens his mouth?
Speaker 3 (31:45):
You know, the mad dog.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Oh but the Taylor swift and they shut her all
the time.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
But fifty four seconds his rants far.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Longer, yeah than the fifty four the fifty four seconds.
But yes, Charlie whis thought of was retired? Thought he retired?
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Now I'm tired. I had the greatest It was more
tired retirement.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Uh, and then say something else more acidin the next
time you hit the radio dial.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
But yeah, well, Charlie Weiss, look, Tony Romo stepped on
Nance's great jackpot line. He gave it three seconds? Right?
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Should it have been a full Yohannis at the free
throw line fifteen or whatever it's become.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (32:28):
But if that, if that's the thing that you know,
you decided, Oh, I gotta come up with a funny
line for this guy about who I like to listen.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
To or not?
Speaker 3 (32:36):
You know, beat it. It's first up we've said Charlie
Wess's name. Oh, I know, right, Charlie.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
What there is he is getting involved? No, but but
this this lends to a bigger conversation because we're all
spending time talking about oh, Tony Romo next year and
what's gonna happen? And I think it was one of
the blogs today put this out that hey, what if
next year, uh, for Tom Brady or for Greg Olsen,
Tony Romo goes to the studio and Greg Olsen becomes
(33:03):
the number one guy with Jim Nantz and there could
be changes there.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
And honest, I mean that's not gonna happen because look.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Romo's Hey, Romo makes his hey breaking down the game
as it's going on. So it really, I mean, I
don't want him in the studio. But I'm telling you
this is where you're gonna see a big time change
your television the next couple of years. For the for
the pregame shows. Is that a lot of the CBS
guys their contracts are coming up. And it's just not CBS,
I mean Fox is gonna have to look at it too.
(33:31):
Is that at some point in your pregame shows, you
gotta start going a little bit younger, right, you gotta
go a little bit younger because because people people watching
these these these shows.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Look and I watch a lot of CBS because I
watched the Jets, and you know, people don't remember that
Bill Kauer was a Super Bowl winning coach. I mean,
these are guys been on the air for a long time,
and eventually they're gonna want guys on there that can
that can jump in and provide a jolt of energy.
It's why CBS brought Nate Berlson in, right, And eventually
that's what it's gonna be and pregame shows because eventually
(34:02):
it's gonna be, Okay, these guys like Phil Sims that
have been there forever, these guys are out and they're
gonna bring in guys that really have things to say
because you could, look, it's gonna be it's gonna look
like undisputed or or or or first take whatever you
want when suddenly it's gonna be five guys just arguing
about stuff. But at least these are gonna be athletes
that that people watch and remember, and they're gonna have
(34:24):
something to say because, like I said, when I watch CBS,
is it look Phil Simms needed to go to the
need and go from the from the broadcast booth to
the to the off of their to the to the
pregame show when he started saying things that I knew
about and when let all of us know, oh the
ball is wet now hard for the quarterback to throw it.
All these things, yes, yes, yes, oh what happens here
at the end of the game. The swirling winds makes
it difficult to kick a field goal. But when I
(34:47):
see CBS, especially right because like I said, I watch
a lot of Jets, I go, they say things on
the pregame shows. Now that I say to myself, this
is like the most elementary things in football. I mean,
and and I say to me, I go, there's gotta
be some kind of change at some point.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
That be something.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
And now with contracts being up, it's a lot of
the CBO. There may be a bunch of new guys
doing the games at CBS and other places next year.
Oh no, fully expected. And you know, we look at
our team the NFL on Fox and Fox NFL Sunday.
I mean, you hope they're they're there forever, but you know,
you have.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
The reality of father time comes in health issues and
whatever else. Look, Jimmy's still full of fire. Unfortunately, you know,
for the NFC title game, Terry Bradshaw wasn't available dealing
with some health stuff. I mean, so you're trying to
still relevant in a big way. But yeah, you've got
to have that long term play And why you saw Burlison,
why you saw JJ Watt into the mix, why you
(35:41):
see some of these guys starting to crack the rotations.
The other is, you know, to your point about the
elemental stuff, you only got like fifteen seconds before the
next guy has to talk, when you got seven guys
sitting at a desk.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, but still, you know, I mean, I feel like
I should be getting more insight than I do. I
shouldn't be getting way more because now we're so nuanced
to know that, yes, this is what happens, when this
is what so and so does. Well, I can go
on Twitter many times and I can go, wow, I
just got a much better breakdown of that play from
a guy whose name I don't even know than what
I just saw. Hey, you gotta be able to run
(36:15):
the football in the second half. Okay, great, Hey gotta
be able to start. Hey, they allowed three hundred and
twenty yards passing in the front. Gotta shut down the
pass again. Really, thanks a lot for that. I appreciate that.
I mean, you got to give me stuff that that
I can say, oh, Okay, this is this is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I understand, what do you got prospering. There's a reason
you're getting elementary breakdowns. It's because you're watching the Jets
as I'm watching the Jets.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
There is something but but again, you're trying to figure
out you're broadcasting right, and you're trying to figure out
the gradients. Some schools of how deep you can you
can get into a nuanced discussion versus all right, let's
go to some of the captain obvious stuff right for
the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Mean, do you look at how much of a new
audience you got for that? You can't go deep break down?
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Just put Taylor Swift if you if you want some
just just if you want that, put Taylor Swift on.
Put Taylor Swift on the pregame show. It's I mean,
there's it, But I'm selling you you're gonna need something
because you need you need some kind of shift that's
coming really really soon. Me exit out about a Fresca
exit swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Carmon coming up next something. If you've ever
