Speaker 1 (00:28):
Hello, Welcome inside our three The Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon, live from the Tirack dot

Tirack dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Well,
the Niners beat the Jets to Night thirty two to nineteen.
But if you didn't see it because you have DirecTV
doesn't count. If you live in a Direct TV household.
(00:59):
The Jets record is oh and.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
O in your world. Now, what happens when they break
the barrier into the real physical world. Well, if you
have to go and engage with other people, places, and things.
If you go to the grocery store down the street
and you run into one of those non Direct TV households, okay,
and they try to tell you the reality of in
(01:23):
their minds what reality is because they watched it, whereas
someone else was watching I don't know, an old episode
of Mattlock or something, because you had DirecTV. You know,
there's a new Mattlock on now, right, it's yeah, Kathy Bates, Okay,
your last acting role, she says, She said, when matt
Lock is done.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm done. When matt Lock has done, the jets are done.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That's a hell of a run. Though, By the way,
for what it's.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Don't don't tell me the guy I didn't see again,
there was no gamelin television.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I didn't get it. Does it exists?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
No, it didn't happen. But this is the dangerous part
of this carriage dispute now between ESPN, Disney and Direct TV,
is that we have shown, both for good and bad,
in this country that when something happens we don't like,
(02:11):
we can find a solution for it, and then if
the same thing happens again, we'll start to find a
way around it. Right now, and that's my concern about here,
because I thought, for sure Okay, well we didn't get
it at the beginning of college football, but certainly this
is going to be solid for the Jets and the
forty nine ers.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Where Aaron Rodgers returned to the field.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Nope, didn't happen. Still, and the numbers will be down
for this game because of it, because it's not available
on DirecTV. But remember, we had this happen. You know
what was it a year ago, the last ere and
the same thing happened. Hey, we're pulling the plug. You're
not gonna get these games.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
This is unbelievable. This is what a gross miscarriage of
justice this is. And then pretty soon, hey, we had
the dispute solved, right, can't miss live sports. This is
what both sides are taking it down to. We're gonna
take the games off. You're not gonna see opening week
of college football, the big game on Sunday night, Monday
night of Labor Day weekend, and we're gonna tell you
(03:08):
twenty minutes before the game you're not gonna get to
see the game.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You wanted to go see, whoahao.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Because that strategy went before and what happened it got
worked out pretty fast, all right, We didn't wind up
missing what was next. This is now the second We
are into the second week of this dispute with ESPN
and DirecTV. The fact that this thing wasn't resolved for
this game tells me this could go for a long
(03:32):
long time because as consumers, right, you and I last year, okay,
wow we did there was so much fear. You gotta
fix this, You gotta do this. You're ruining customers. Blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And they fixed it.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Now people are gonna say, you know what, I don't care.
I'm unplugging, I'm leaving DirecTV. I'm going to something else.
I'm gonna find another way to get the game. I'll
get it on an app. I'll watch it on my computer.
I don't want to watch Monday night football on my computer,
but you know what, Hey insit of my laptop and
watch it and I'll still get the game. It's fine.
It's not the big big screen experience or Hey. Instead
(04:06):
of being at home, I'm gonna go over my buddy
Steve's house. Steve has a game, he's got a spectrum,
whatever it is. I'm gonna watch a game there. Monday
night football is now my night to go out to
watch my friends. That's the that's the solution that neither
side wants because this is bad free ESPN and it's
bad for DirecTV. But I say, when something happens bad
(04:27):
in the first time, whoa, we don't like that. If
it happens again, it's okay. I'm not gonna continually fall
for the banana and the tailpipe. I'm just gonna find
a way around it. So if you if I can't
get ESPN, I'll find a way to get Monday night football.
I'll find a way to watch college football Saturday. If
you show me a bit, I'll go to a bar
to watch it. I'll watch my I'll go to a
friend's house. We will now find a way around it.
And and that's and that's not going to make any
(04:49):
headway in solving this because that's exactly what both sides
want it. Disney and DirecTV want us to solve the problem.
They want the consumers to solve the problem. See, we
can't do this, so get me at at Disney. Say
whatever you need to say, give them bad publicity so
we can figure this out. And Disney's gonna say, hey,
they're being unreasonable. Don't you want to watch all our programming.
(05:09):
Look at what you got right here. They want us
to solve it. And and this is where you completely
mismanage it because we don't care enough to solve it.
We will, we have, we have the marketability to eat
a lot of crap in this country and just say, Okay,
it's just a.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
New normal, the new normal, the new normal.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
No, no, And that's what's gonna happen here is that, Hey,
there's gonna be so much of both sides saying wait,
the people really didn't solve this. They've just decided to
walk away from it and figure out a way around it.
It's not gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
But that's the thing is that in the walk around,
workaround World, who wins Disney? This is a long play
to get you to the app Yeah, this is just
a long play to get you into the right Because
what do you get with the Peacock games right and
Sunday Night Football? You can watch this live on Peacock
Paramount Plus. Hey, watch your CBS games on Paramount plus US, Hey,
(06:01):
ESPN Plus watch all your college football games. Watch and
you get to watch Yoda and little Baby Yoda run around.
If you get the bundle you can do all this
and you can watch only murders in the building. Newly
minted billionaire Selena Gomez is there for you, run around
with Martin Short and mister Steve Martin. It's all there,
That's all it is. But it's it's the longer play
(06:24):
to where we're getting away from DirecTV, and it might
be moving at a glacial space there because everything that
rises up kind it becomes that right YouTube TV. I'm
paying double what I did when I first subscribed because
of all the extra channels or whatever. So that's the
next battleground, of which pieces if you can, you know,
(06:45):
go a la carte on that. But in the interim,
for Disney, part of the play is all right, we're
hemorrhaging money here and here and here and here and here.
How do we make this more profitable? We start leaching off. However,
many people are dissatisfied because now the give us ten
dollars a month for our ESPN pluss.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I don't know that we're quite there yet. I don't
think we're gonna be there until the NFL fully gets
the streaming.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, you'll get a few. I like it.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's the it's the push you'll get a few more
people going there, but not enough to justify, Hey, we're
missing out. We're missing out on all kinds of money.
Both at DirecTV's missing out on it, so is ESPN.
People are now gonna more people are gonna cut the
cord and go away and do different things. You'll push
a few more people there, but once the NFL, look,
we're getting there, like, but we're not gonna get there
(07:31):
until maybe the next round of negotiations, which is still
a few years away, which is why they're trying out
all different streaming partners. Now why there's games on Peacock
and Paramountain and Amazon one. Hey, who's gonna be our
long term partner? Right, That's why all the games are
on these different streaming giants because eventually the NFL knowes, Okay,
they're gonna get just gobs of money and we're gonna
(07:53):
send our package there.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Which one's the best.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, we'll spend the next few years doing that, right,
we got five years to figure that out. But until then,
you're just gonna see a drop in viewership with the
NFL doesn't want. You're gonna see a drop in subscriptions,
which nobody wants. You to drop in direct TV. People
will just not care. I mean really, I will find
a way around it. If I miss a game, I
miss a game, I don't care. I'm not going to
go crazy trying to fight to get this back on
(08:19):
my thing. Hey if you figure it out, great, but
you're not gonna help.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And that, and that's the big fault that both ESPN
DirecTV have is because you see, when you turn on
that channel like tonight, ESPN doesn't want you to watch
whatever it's. ESPN doesn't want you to watch Monday night
football on our on our stations because blah blah blah
blah blah. Nobody cares. No one's gonna stand up and
say evil ESPN. I love direct TV or direct TV
is terrible and I love ESPN. No one's gonna do that.
(08:44):
And and they've misplayed their hand with this because there's
no way each side thought we're still here after Monday
Night Football.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Oh no, sure are?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I think we all assume they'd be the eleventh hour.
It's kind of like, you know, the will Jerry Jones
revert to old Jerry Jones eleven? He did these guys, didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Poor venom Jerry Jones. But and that's the thing is
that just think about it from more than Monday night football. Right,
you get to a big what what's the next big
time college football Saturday? Okay, right, college football Saturday. That's
the next time when you're gonna miss games on ESPN?
Could you miss a big game?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
But you know what, there's lots of games on lots
of different shows. Well but but that, but that's the
other lots of games. So even though this is standalone,
does it still have the same reverence that it wanted?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah? No, I don't think Monday night football has it
a while, Right, We've talked about it for years that
Sunday night football as he clipsed it right in terms
of its importance on the cultural landscape and football fans
all around. And I'm not saying people are done with
football by Monday night, certainly, but certainly the same ravenous
for a lot of us. But there's there's a lot
(09:47):
of football. There's a lot of day.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It's like you at a karaoke bar on a Friday night.
You're overserved like that some time. Look, because think about it,
when when when you go through there's so much for
fall on now there's no one that can say I
don't get the football right and right now I'm just thinking, oh,
I did have that drink on foot well.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I mean I was trying to figure out it Friday.
I mean you're welcome to come with. Then I tried
to do aqual long and they took the microphone from me.
They didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
But you get to college football Saturday. Let's say Alabama LSU,
and is the game that ESPN has, But you don't
have ESPN. I got Notre Dame on Channel four.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I have.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I have CBS. I got games on Fox. I get
the Big newon Kickoff. I have games on FS one,
I have games on on on CBS sports Nowhere I
will find college.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Football to watch, and whoever be game packed twelve after dark,
I'm gonna get it. I will.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I will have enough fun watching all the different channels
watching college football that if I missed that game, I
missed that game.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
And I have college football on Friday most nights or
most if I get all the games on Sunday and
I get Sunday night football is Monday night football absolutely
as much of a watch as it was.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, if I missed the game, I missed the game.
We never had that before, right, But now we're at
the point where you're getting to be potentially overserved with football.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And it's okay.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It's not about losing the specialists of it's it's that
we get lazier as we get older. Were we like
the movie We like the movie Up Not Up Wali,
where everybody goes into space and everything is right at
their fingertips and nobody gets up off their chairs and
everybody gains a lot of weight and just clicks on
things to get food coming and watch on team you
just described America.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
That's kind of where we that's kind of where we.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Are, and you hear hello Dolly at the end?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I have enough just sitting up my TV Saturday and
watching college football. I will find a game. I will
watch Colorado Nebraska rather than do I do I really
want to watch Texas Michigan.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Or I'd rather watch Colorado.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
If I can't watch Texas Michigan or and I'd rather
watch Colorado Nebraska. I will find it NFL on Sunday.
I'll have all the games on the game Sunday night.
Monday night. I could watch it if I need to,
But nah, if not, it's not. It's not the worst thing.
I'm okay with it because I've had football so much
and and and that's where the NFL and college football
has to kind of draw the line a bit to say, Okay,
(12:03):
we still needed to be a little bit special, but
it can't be that special because we're only going to
go so far. Ten years ago, fifteen years ago, if
there's something like this happened, people would go to the
wall to watch a football game. I remember when when
when the big NFL networks before I worked at NFL Network,
when the NFL network dispute was raged for years where
(12:23):
half the homes in the country didn't get NFL network
because they couldn't figure out their deal with what was
It was a big It was so low.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It was like this like fifteen I remember the hit.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Whatever cable company it was, it covered like half the
country right, covered like half the country, and so they
couldn't get on. It was a big thing for NFL Network.
Then when I was there, they solved it.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Okay, NFL network grew and it was it was fantastic.
But I remember going out for a Packers Cowboys game
that NFL network had but wasn't on anywhere. And I
went to three different bars a half hour before the
game and I couldn't get in, and I couldn't get in,
not even get a seat, I couldn't get standing room.
And this is I think it was far from the
Cowboys on a Thursday night when insane game and I go,
(13:07):
this is three bars that I know that I've been
and I can't even get in the door and the
game hasn't even started yet. Like that's the levels we
would go to before for football. Are we gonna do
that anymore?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
If this game is not, we're sports sports, sports bars
absolutely packed tonight for people. I can't get this game,
so I gotta get out there.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I don't think they.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Were and and and and and NFL and no matter
what kind of product you have, you gotta understand, there's
only so far people are gonna go for it. So
these so far people go until they say, yeah, no,
I'm okay with not doing it. I'm okay. And and
the NFL is kind of there, and and messing around
with cable that's where they are, and same thing, and
ESPN is kind of there. ESPN has a lot of
(13:46):
great sports programming, a lot of great live sports program
but you know what, a lot of other places have
live sports programming. Now you get a lot of college
football and Fox and on FS one. You get a
lot of it on CBS, get a lot of it
on NBC, get a lot of it on TNT and
TBS and other stations. And now you're seeing stuff on
True TV. So you will get football, You'll get the ACC. Now,
I'll get it on the ACC network. I'll get to
(14:07):
watch Syracuse every week, You'll get the SEA, all all
the different networks you get. It's only gonna go so far.
And what ESPN and cable companies have to realize is
you are at that tipping point right now, and if
you mismanaged stuff, boy, it's gonna be a bad year
ratings wise, which means you can't charge as much money
for rates, which means less people watching your product. There's
less there's less people that are advertising. You're making less
(14:30):
money there. I mean, that's where where where both ESPN
and Direct TV don't understand how dangerous this war is.
Because I guarantee you they thought, well, when this happened
last week, Monday football is gonna be solved. No it's
not so Now if it's not solid for week one,
when it's the Jets and the forty nine ers, when's
it gonna get solved for?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Well, I think they knew Jordan Mason was gonna start.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
There's a McCaffrey's got a big family and they're all
gonna watch.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
So we're gonna be good.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You got Ed McCaffrey, you got his mom, You got
Dylan McCaffrey, who never made it really at Michigan. You
got the other McCaffrey. We all got the McCaffrey's all over.
We got McCafferty from the Jellicle Cats nice anytime we
get cats and we've won. But yeah, I mean the
other thing is you start going down the rabbit hole
to look, say you can't get a particular game, and
(15:18):
you start going on the rabbit hole, you realize how
much other live sporting events are available to you on
some of these apps, right, I mean we're going down
the road of hey, is this kind of college, this,
that or the other available sitting there with Madeline like,
as a matter of fact, here's a whole rabbit hole
I didn't know existing, And for six bucks a month,
(15:39):
now you have access to all of it, so instead
of watching bad reruns of some show that she's already binged.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Now, it's like, I can go watch more soccer, I
can go watch more this. Are we watching liv and
Maddie again? Yes? You you say it? On half of
me we watch Celebrate Duck Cameron's entire catalog.
Speaker 1 (16:00):

You get podcasts, Fox Sports Radio, the Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon, Spot The Lie Livemanti
Rack dot Com Studios. And now we'll have more on
the Niners and the Jets coming up in a few minutes.
Going to hear from Aaron Rodgers. But there are three
guys in the NFL whose days as a starting quarterback
(17:32):
are nearing an end much more quickly than you'd expect
them to. Deshaun Watson, Kirk Cousins, and Daniel Jones, right,
all three of them.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
When your booed play two and your head coach has
to say, I'm not making a quarterback change after Week one, Yeah,
you're close to losing your gig. When you have a
really bad Week one and your head coach says your
injury from last year was not the problem. Kirk Cousins,
Guess what, You're not holding onto that job very long.
Deshaun Watson, who was just Look, he was flat out
(18:05):
terrible on Sunday. I understand it was a very rough
week for him. He lost his dad, he lost one
of his teammates at Clemson. But it's not a one
game thing for him and for every and every time
I see people say the same thing about Deshaun Watson,
I go, do you not live in reality? Okay, because
Deshaun Watson is maybe one or two weeks away from
(18:27):
being replaced by Jameis Winston. All Right, you've heard all that,
You've seen the guy play, Look all the stuff you've
heard in the promos and heard that's been said on Fox.
We told you about Deshaun Watson two weeks ago, right
and months ago. He's not gonna be the quarterback for
very long. He's not played well, he's not played a
lot of football, and the Browns aren't gonna flush another season.
They're not gonna let him go sixteen. He's got seventeen
(18:49):
weeks now, He's got another couple of weeks because if
the Browns offense is absolutely dreadful. They're going to make
a move. They have a guy on the bench who
has played well before, not that Jameis Winston suddenly is
the greatest guy in the world. But you can't keep
trotting out a quarterback that doesn't put up results. He
was awful against the Cowboys on Sunday, and the Browns
(19:10):
aren't going to let another year or the talented roster.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Go to waste.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Right, you'll worry about the money at the end of
the year, right, and we'll get to the money, but
you'll worry about the money the end of the year.
But he's doing all this money. If we cut him,
we've got all those dead come up forget about that.
Worry about the money at the end of the year,
get wins now, figure things out later, just like we
say with the forty nine ers who said screw it,
we're doing the right thing. We're gonna pay Brandon Ayuk,
We're gonna pay Trent Williams, We're gonna pay all the guys,
(19:36):
and we're gonna figure things out after this year.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
We're holding the Lombardi Trophy up.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
If we lose three of the guys making fifteen million
dollars or more. Next year we lose three guys, but
we won the Super Bowl. The Niners that we'll figure
out the money in the off season. If you're the Browns,
it's the same thing. We'll figure out the money in
the off season. How long can you go before you understand, Okay,
Deshaun Watson is not the guy he was. He just isn't.
He's terrible and things aren't going to get better. He's
(20:02):
not gonna suddenly get it. It's not you need to
make a change. And so I think I look at
this and go, if we're still having this conversation after
week three, that's a long time because you get out
of September in and up to no no, no, no, no.
I know, the season a little bit longer now with
the extra game there's you know, with the extra wildcard. Okay,
we still feel alright with where we're at, but they're
(20:24):
not going to go through again what they went through
last year, which was Deshaun Watson was bad, then he
got hurt. Then they figured they played four quarterbacks. Brian
Sipe was two of them. And then we picked Joe
Flacco up off his couch a boy. He got us
to the playoffs and it was the magic carpet ride
that ended a little bit early for us. But that's
not going to happen. The money will get figured out
and it will be Jameis Winston playing quarterback for there.
(20:46):
We told you in the off season. Hey, he's gonna
play at least half the games a quarterback for the
Browns this year. Now that can get to three quarters. Like,
I'm okay moving that from half the games to three
quarters at this point, just because the Browns aren't going
to sit here and let this continue.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Well, the heart part with it is, you know, it
goes back to the economic truism, that is some costs
and recognizing what it is. And you can do this
with anything anything. You purchase your car, your your home,
your whatever. You put the money into the TV. You've
gotten enough years out of it, and you move on.
(21:23):
You know, they always did the conversation we were having before, Hey,
you get a new TV. Now you can stream and
put everything up on the television from the laptop and
everything else to give yourself that bigger picture. And the
big picture here is that you've spent the money. Now
you can massage things to do whatever you can for
dead cap purposes. And how much he's owed and the
(21:44):
guarantees made all bad business. My favorite meme yesterday going
around was the little clip from Moneyball of Jonah Hill
pointing to the whiteboard. See this, this is a guy.
He's Deshaun Watson. He's no good I'm paraphrasing. And the
ironic thing is that was supposed to be Paul de Podesta,
who was the chief strategist who brought Deshaun Watson in
(22:06):
and orchestrated the deal and all the guaranteed money that
brought him to Cleveland, even though he was Moneyball guy.
Now he had money and got the authorization. But just
remember what happened with Deshaun Watson. He took that year off.
He's not been that guy since. Right, he had a
big year and then they played hardball and he sat
on the sidelines and everything else, and now here we are.
(22:29):
So for the Browns, you've got a good roster. You're
in a tough division, and eventually all those other guys
are gonna have to get paid too, and so you
don't want to waste the year and opportunity. Pittsburgh being
whatever they are, we're looking at them as a five
hundred plus or minus a game or two kind of
team each and every year Cincinnati gets punched in the
(22:51):
face by New England in Week one. We'll see what
happens with the chirping going on between Jamar Chase and
t Higgins about their deals and and trying to get
those things remedied. Uh. And then you know you you're
looking at Baltimore that they lose to Kansas City, but
they look like they'll be game like they are most years.
(23:12):
So you're not gonna give away games because I think
they're they're with everybody else the back end of the schedules,
all your division stuff. So early on you've got to
try to stack some w's because the the eating will
get much harder. See what I'm doing there, because it's
all jamis. Nobody eat W.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You're also hungry. We have we haven't had dinner.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yet, tell you, but it was about eating W.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I know when you start making food analogies, I know
you're normally.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
We get to one now, just trying to think of
what what do I want for dinner? Lad?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
When we talk about a pie chart instead you say
a pizza chart. I know, Okay, you need to eat
your I don't know that I pizza chart you need.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Ately, Harmon's hungry. We got to get some food. All well,
I mean the hot takes will start flying first year.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Let's get somebody to run up to a play a
loco for Harmon, he needs a little bit.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I appreciate that. But yeah, for Deshaun Watson, A really
it's just that hard conversation, all right, And if you're Stefanski,
you've got to go in and be like this is untenable. Yeah, Ken,
we we can't do this. And now you've got Jerome
Ford in instead of Nick Chubb, who's who was a
decent running back. Your wide receiving corps got a little
bit out of Judy expecting more was pretty and was invisible,
(24:23):
which was a bit surprising because I mean Dallas was
down several top defenders in their defensive back. Now they
welcome back digs, but Bland is out. So you're thinking
you're gonna be able to find a free runner instead
nobody could block or about Micah Parsons.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Now, look, so now let's get to the money partner,
because that's what the brown if Week three is gonna
be it, right, he's got an easier match up this
week Week three? Is it for Deshaun Watson. Then you're
gonna see Jameis Winston. Now let's get to the money,
because that's that's the big that's the big default that
I see people say all the time. That just drives
me back. Banana is crazy. Oh they can't cut him
because of the dead cabinet. Show me a situation, any
(25:03):
situation in sports where a team has started a guy
and played him all the way through the end of
his contract just because he's making money. Show me show
me one place where boy, this guy stunk. But not
just gonna start him.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
For a little while.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
We're gonna start him all the way through the end
of a bad contract, three four more years. We're just
gonna keep playing it because we give him big.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Concaut Because I said, kept seeing the same graphic people
posting the snapshot. I don't know which of the contract
websites it was from, but talking about how much he's
owed over two years, like I could agree that, you know,
they'll tough it out, maybe a little bit longer this year, yeah,
and be in you know, hold on for dear life
and hope that they can keep it within the white lines.
(25:46):
But you're telling me they're gonna do that. For a second,
It's not gonna happen. At the end of the year,
they'll figure out the money. You know why, because teams
always figure out the money because you can write it off.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Like Kramer told us, Aaron Rodgers was never getting traded.
Look at the dead cap hit for the for the Packers.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Look at the cap. What happened.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Aaron Rodgers got traded and it wasn't really that difficult.
It was just the Jets wanted them. The Packers wanted
an extra first round pick, and that's we played poker
for that. The money was taking care of money, was
taking care.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Of Denver Doug a giant hole and buried.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
But look at the dead cap pit. But guess what
also happens. The cap goes up every single year. I'm
not saying it's not going to be belt tightening, because
there is that going on. But look at the roster
you have right now, Ross you have right now. If
there's no Deshaun Watson. Okay, wait a minute, So the
roster we have right now, there's no Deshaun Watson, we
(26:39):
still have the quarterbacks. We're gonna draft somebody most likely,
and we're gonna make replacements. We'll lose a couple of players,
but we'll go forward. They will find a way. All
teams find a way. Nobody plays a guy for a
long period of time just because he's getting paid.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Gold Bloom, Jurassic Park there finds ay.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Uh. But by the way, I can't believe that line
is so famous, Like every time I see that in
a big setting, like he says that and everybody claps.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Though he was behind the uh bono fly glasses. Ironically,
the guy that played the fly.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Is even better than the real thing life is. But
but to think that the money can't be worked, it's
it's insane. And I don't get why people get they
can't do it, because no, they'll figure out the money either,
it will be some kind of payment, they'll spread out
the dead cap, they'll they'll redo other people's contracts, give
them that. That's the that's the biggest thing. I don't
(27:37):
know why every team is said to say, we're gonna
give you your entire contract and the signing bonus so we
can sign some other guys.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Oh, okay, that's just right. You convert it to a
signing bonuses.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Don't tell me they can't because they figure no matter
how bad a situation is, you could have a guy
whose dead cap would be the entire salary cap, and
still a team would find a way to figure it out.
Over the course of a year. All will do this.
Now it's gonna be thin. We're gonna spread the dead over.
But the cap keeps going up every year. This is
not going to be a case where the Browns are
gonna plead poverty and say we can't even feel the tap.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
No, you'll be fine. Look at the figure.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Out the mind.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Look what the forty nine ers just did right to
get Williams and I. You taken care of debo restructure,
created some sixteen point five million dollars of cap space
signing bonus. Smooth it out like the rough waters. We
used the analogy last week. Rough waters, but it's a
nice little ripple when it gets to the shore, looks
(28:32):
really rough and choppy out there, and then you just
easily ride it out. And that's that's the NFL and
salary cap. It looks daunting and it's a nice talking point,
but it's very easy to figure out all the loopholes
of how to change this out. Hey, can we give
you a signing bonus. It's Witten. Yeah, okay, you get
cash on hand. Might as well sing the JG. Wentworth
(28:54):
song while you're at it. Not a spot ag Wentworth.
So to think it's not true. It's two more weeks
and it's the Jameis Winston era. However long that lasts.
With the Cleveland Browns, Jamis Dennis, Dennis, Derek Anderson Spurgeon
win Going back to that giant graphic from the Fox broadcame,
you can have Tim Couch and Kelly Holcombe come back
(29:16):
and battle it out. Now we're talking, Yeah, we can
get Brady some more run. He just comes out of
the booth suiting up for the Browns.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I could throw. I met Brady Quinn, our teammate here
he was with the Browns.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I like Brady Quinn, but I think if they had
the choice between Tom Brady and Brady Quinn, go with
Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Look, man, there's petitions for him to be the Raiders quarterback.
I think I think owner slash quarterback. I think I
think Money Smith and uh Daniel Jeremiah with the best
little back and forth. Ever, is like this game rock fight,
because there was nothing going on, but you got a
petition in New York for the Giants. Brady can Brady
suit up for us? I know we beat him twice
(29:56):
in Super Bowls, but he can come and save us, right, Please.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Exit albouta fresca exit swelling down The Jason Smiths Or
with Mike Carmon liveth tyrack dot com studios.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
The Jason Smith Show is My best Friend Mike Harmon
live from the Tirack dot com studios and uh, the
first individual to now go on my never again.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
List never again. So this is you're never picking them again,
never picking.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Them, never believing them, never because I put Teas on
my never again list. Yeah, I can't pick them to
go any farther because they just never do it no
matter what.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
So are we talking fantasy drafts? Are we talking? We
are talking?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Just we are talking the Draft of life, the Draft
of life. Because Jerry Jones is on my NEPHIK. Yes,
I am never believed. I am never believing him, I
am never understanding. I told you I'm a gun with
Jerry Jones, of all the of all all the things
we just waited for, the whole all in, we're not
(31:03):
gonna pay. We're gonna be prudent, We're not gonna do
it all off season, all the big Controversies' gonna pay
CD Lamb's he gonna pay Dak Prescott. He's drawn a
line in the sand with Dak Prescott. No, no, nope,
gonna pay CD Lamb. And you gonna pay Dak Prescott
the same money that I was gonna pay him.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Right before the season starts. I told you eleventh hour
Jerry was gonna come through again. I thought old dogs,
don't I think if.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Venom Jerry Jones would overrun regular Jerry Jones, because Venom
Jerry Jones was good, he was pretty funny, taking control
of Jerry Jones's body, making him not pay Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Jerry Jones would say that I really got the itch.
Haven't paid a guy in a while.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
And Venom Jerry drop Jerry just let me nibble on
his foot a little bit. Just let's not pay him.
Let me just snack on his right foot.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
No, can't do that, because well, especially the seven step
drop He's gonna just fall down. Three step drop maybe
five step drop, I don't know, but seven step drop.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Can't do They got so venom. Jerry Jones has a
little Rex Ryan and to.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Not not running, not running for a first out.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
He can't do it.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Jerry, come on, don't pay him. You just said the
whole thing about being all in. Let's be all in
next offseason. I'll eat everybody's head and then you can
pay for people. I'll eat my party's head and you
can get Pella Chick, and then I can eat Dak's
head and you can go get Kirk Cousins. This will
be wonderful. Jerry.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Nope, sorry, gonna beat you back, just like the Hardy
guy did uh not not the hardy Boys, not the
one Parker Stevenson and Shaw got hair talking about the
hardy the fellow, the Bain Kid. Uh sorry, I'm gonna
beat you back, Venom. You gotta just kind of coexist
with me, because, uh, I'm gonna go pay Dak Prescott
like I thought Venom Jerry Jones would take would take
(32:45):
over throughout the rest of the season.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I was laughing because we were talking about it yesterday
doing the Morning Show with with Bucky Brooks, and we
got into Jerry, we got into it a little bit
like the carryover of you know, who's in, who's out?
What is it mean? Whatever? And he's like, well, once
the football start flying, push it away. But it's like
is there possibility? And then literally I'm driving home and
(33:08):
all of a sudden, it's like, eh, Dak Prescott got
his money. I'm like, Jerry, you didn't you know, you
came through once again. And I'm stupid because I because
all of it.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
No, he really held Dak Prescott to a hide the
two playoff loss.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I mean he didn't pay Michael Parson John and Michael
Parsons evidently didn't get asked for you know, risk size
for the rolexes that I guess Dak's giving out.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I couldn't take it anymore, had had to pay him. Yeah,
I didn't know what to do. Like he felt, he
fell for the whole, Dak Prescott. If they don't pay me,
that shows a lot about them, what they think about me. No, no, no,
And I fall victim of the fact that Jerry Jones
loves to pay guys that he drafted because he thinks
this reflects well on me. That I'm paying guys money,
and I never understand that. But he loves paying guys
(33:56):
because it makes him look good.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
But look at when he did it. Do those right? Hey,
I'm on the sidelines with the number one Fox crew.
I can go shake hands with Tom Brady and they're
gonna talk about me signing Dag Prescott up in the
booth now.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
And I can't get the Brady kid for next year
because that's my other plan. Uh was getting him that
That would have been That would have been a fun time.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
I mean the genius move right, the Master's showing. We
used to joke all about come see my monkeys, anything
and everything. He's like now it's hey, the circus is
in Town's week one. Dak got his cas.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I'm never believing anything. He says that he's on my
never again list. I'm never believing him. No, I'm done.
I'm done. All the teams on I never again list.
I'm never picking to win anything because they never do
and they go one time too many, No, Jerry Jones
saying this is one time too many. Dak is well
that we have to think about what we paid back
before we gotta pay. All you did was pay him
what you were gonna pay him anyway, We went through
(34:48):
all of this stuff to get there. We had your
word salad last week that none of us could understand. No, no, no,
And I feel stupid. I feel stupid and contagious. I
feel stupid because I fell for Jerry Jones and I
thought venom Jerry Jones would take care of things for me,
and he didn't.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Jerry's out there.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
No, no, no, I can't can't change who I am. Got
gotta give guys money, even though boy gonna be tough
to fit guys on the sour cap.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Now, well, he just decided it was less dangerous to
pay the guy that was his incumbent. See, I just
pushed it forward.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
To used the word incumbent. It's pretty good when I.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Mean, it is a political season, so we talk about
those things. But also when we look at Dak Prescott
as much as folks wanted the moons like he's not
worth the money. It's like, okay, how many teams right
now would roll over and beg for Dak Prescott to
be there? Somebody would you get dismissed it say, oh,
it's playoff record. Whatever. It's like, you gotta get to
(35:45):
the playoffs to lose.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Jerry. Now, who am I going to be able to
eat what you paid all the guys? Hey, let me
get a little taste of that.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Micah Parsons, he's gotta go find another hosts.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I'm gonna pay him next. Got a big podcast and
pay him next. Don't worry about it. Exit out by
the Fresco Exit swollen dome. Coming up next, The biggest
difference between the forty nine ers and the Jets. We'll
tell you of all about it.

the Niners beat the Jets to Night thirty two to nineteen.
But if you didn't see it because you have DirecTV
doesn't count. If you live in a Direct TV household.
(00:59):
The Jets record is oh and.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
O in your world. Now, what happens when they break
the barrier into the real physical world. Well, if you
have to go and engage with other people, places, and things.
If you go to the grocery store down the street
and you run into one of those non Direct TV households, okay,
and they try to tell you the reality of in
(01:23):
their minds what reality is because they watched it, whereas
someone else was watching I don't know, an old episode
of Mattlock or something, because you had DirecTV. You know,
there's a new Mattlock on now, right, it's yeah, Kathy Bates, Okay,
your last acting role, she says, She said, when matt
Lock is done.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm done. When matt Lock has done, the jets are done.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That's a hell of a run. Though, By the way,
for what it's.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Don't don't tell me the guy I didn't see again,
there was no gamelin television.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I didn't get it. Does it exists?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
No, it didn't happen. But this is the dangerous part
of this carriage dispute now between ESPN, Disney and Direct TV,
is that we have shown, both for good and bad,
in this country that when something happens we don't like,
(02:11):
we can find a solution for it, and then if
the same thing happens again, we'll start to find a
way around it. Right now, and that's my concern about here,
because I thought, for sure Okay, well we didn't get
it at the beginning of college football, but certainly this
is going to be solid for the Jets and the
forty nine ers.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Where Aaron Rodgers returned to the field.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Nope, didn't happen. Still, and the numbers will be down
for this game because of it, because it's not available
on DirecTV. But remember, we had this happen. You know
what was it a year ago, the last ere and
the same thing happened. Hey, we're pulling the plug. You're
not gonna get these games.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
This is unbelievable. This is what a gross miscarriage of
justice this is. And then pretty soon, hey, we had
the dispute solved, right, can't miss live sports. This is
what both sides are taking it down to. We're gonna
take the games off. You're not gonna see opening week
of college football, the big game on Sunday night, Monday
night of Labor Day weekend, and we're gonna tell you
(03:08):
twenty minutes before the game you're not gonna get to
see the game.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You wanted to go see, whoahao.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Because that strategy went before and what happened it got
worked out pretty fast, all right, We didn't wind up
missing what was next. This is now the second We
are into the second week of this dispute with ESPN
and DirecTV. The fact that this thing wasn't resolved for
this game tells me this could go for a long
(03:32):
long time because as consumers, right, you and I last year, okay,
wow we did there was so much fear. You gotta
fix this, You gotta do this. You're ruining customers. Blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And they fixed it.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Now people are gonna say, you know what, I don't care.
I'm unplugging, I'm leaving DirecTV. I'm going to something else.
I'm gonna find another way to get the game. I'll
get it on an app. I'll watch it on my computer.
I don't want to watch Monday night football on my computer,
but you know what, Hey insit of my laptop and
watch it and I'll still get the game. It's fine.
It's not the big big screen experience or Hey. Instead
(04:06):
of being at home, I'm gonna go over my buddy
Steve's house. Steve has a game, he's got a spectrum,
whatever it is. I'm gonna watch a game there. Monday
night football is now my night to go out to
watch my friends. That's the that's the solution that neither
side wants because this is bad free ESPN and it's
bad for DirecTV. But I say, when something happens bad
(04:27):
in the first time, whoa, we don't like that. If
it happens again, it's okay. I'm not gonna continually fall
for the banana and the tailpipe. I'm just gonna find
a way around it. So if you if I can't
get ESPN, I'll find a way to get Monday night football.
I'll find a way to watch college football Saturday. If
you show me a bit, I'll go to a bar
to watch it. I'll watch my I'll go to a
friend's house. We will now find a way around it.
And and that's and that's not going to make any
(04:49):
headway in solving this because that's exactly what both sides
want it. Disney and DirecTV want us to solve the problem.
They want the consumers to solve the problem. See, we
can't do this, so get me at at Disney. Say
whatever you need to say, give them bad publicity so
we can figure this out. And Disney's gonna say, hey,
they're being unreasonable. Don't you want to watch all our programming.
(05:09):
Look at what you got right here. They want us
to solve it. And and this is where you completely
mismanage it because we don't care enough to solve it.
We will, we have, we have the marketability to eat
a lot of crap in this country and just say, Okay,
it's just a.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
New normal, the new normal, the new normal.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
No, no, And that's what's gonna happen here is that, Hey,
there's gonna be so much of both sides saying wait,
the people really didn't solve this. They've just decided to
walk away from it and figure out a way around it.
It's not gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
But that's the thing is that in the walk around,
workaround World, who wins Disney? This is a long play
to get you to the app Yeah, this is just
a long play to get you into the right Because
what do you get with the Peacock games right and
Sunday Night Football? You can watch this live on Peacock
Paramount Plus. Hey, watch your CBS games on Paramount plus US, Hey,
(06:01):
ESPN Plus watch all your college football games. Watch and
you get to watch Yoda and little Baby Yoda run around.
If you get the bundle you can do all this
and you can watch only murders in the building. Newly
minted billionaire Selena Gomez is there for you, run around
with Martin Short and mister Steve Martin. It's all there,
That's all it is. But it's it's the longer play
(06:24):
to where we're getting away from DirecTV, and it might
be moving at a glacial space there because everything that
rises up kind it becomes that right YouTube TV. I'm
paying double what I did when I first subscribed because
of all the extra channels or whatever. So that's the
next battleground, of which pieces if you can, you know,
(06:45):
go a la carte on that. But in the interim,
for Disney, part of the play is all right, we're
hemorrhaging money here and here and here and here and here.
How do we make this more profitable? We start leaching off. However,
many people are dissatisfied because now the give us ten
dollars a month for our ESPN pluss.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I don't know that we're quite there yet. I don't
think we're gonna be there until the NFL fully gets
the streaming.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, you'll get a few. I like it.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's the it's the push you'll get a few more
people going there, but not enough to justify, Hey, we're
missing out. We're missing out on all kinds of money.
Both at DirecTV's missing out on it, so is ESPN.
People are now gonna more people are gonna cut the
cord and go away and do different things. You'll push
a few more people there, but once the NFL, look,
we're getting there, like, but we're not gonna get there
(07:31):
until maybe the next round of negotiations, which is still
a few years away, which is why they're trying out
all different streaming partners. Now why there's games on Peacock
and Paramountain and Amazon one. Hey, who's gonna be our
long term partner? Right, That's why all the games are
on these different streaming giants because eventually the NFL knowes, Okay,
they're gonna get just gobs of money and we're gonna
(07:53):
send our package there.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Which one's the best.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, we'll spend the next few years doing that, right,
we got five years to figure that out. But until then,
you're just gonna see a drop in viewership with the
NFL doesn't want. You're gonna see a drop in subscriptions,
which nobody wants. You to drop in direct TV. People
will just not care. I mean really, I will find
a way around it. If I miss a game, I
miss a game, I don't care. I'm not going to
go crazy trying to fight to get this back on
(08:19):
my thing. Hey if you figure it out, great, but
you're not gonna help.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And that, and that's the big fault that both ESPN
DirecTV have is because you see, when you turn on
that channel like tonight, ESPN doesn't want you to watch
whatever it's. ESPN doesn't want you to watch Monday night
football on our on our stations because blah blah blah
blah blah. Nobody cares. No one's gonna stand up and
say evil ESPN. I love direct TV or direct TV
is terrible and I love ESPN. No one's gonna do that.
(08:44):
And and they've misplayed their hand with this because there's
no way each side thought we're still here after Monday
Night Football.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Oh no, sure are?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I think we all assume they'd be the eleventh hour.
It's kind of like, you know, the will Jerry Jones
revert to old Jerry Jones eleven? He did these guys, didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Poor venom Jerry Jones. But and that's the thing is
that just think about it from more than Monday night football. Right,
you get to a big what what's the next big
time college football Saturday? Okay, right, college football Saturday. That's
the next time when you're gonna miss games on ESPN?
Could you miss a big game?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
But you know what, there's lots of games on lots
of different shows. Well but but that, but that's the
other lots of games. So even though this is standalone,
does it still have the same reverence that it wanted?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah? No, I don't think Monday night football has it
a while, Right, We've talked about it for years that
Sunday night football as he clipsed it right in terms
of its importance on the cultural landscape and football fans
all around. And I'm not saying people are done with
football by Monday night, certainly, but certainly the same ravenous
for a lot of us. But there's there's a lot
(09:47):
of football. There's a lot of day.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It's like you at a karaoke bar on a Friday night.
You're overserved like that some time. Look, because think about it,
when when when you go through there's so much for
fall on now there's no one that can say I
don't get the football right and right now I'm just thinking, oh,
I did have that drink on foot well.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I mean I was trying to figure out it Friday.
I mean you're welcome to come with. Then I tried
to do aqual long and they took the microphone from me.
They didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
But you get to college football Saturday. Let's say Alabama LSU,
and is the game that ESPN has, But you don't
have ESPN. I got Notre Dame on Channel four.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I have.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I have CBS. I got games on Fox. I get
the Big newon Kickoff. I have games on FS one,
I have games on on on CBS sports Nowhere I
will find college.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Football to watch, and whoever be game packed twelve after dark,
I'm gonna get it. I will.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I will have enough fun watching all the different channels
watching college football that if I missed that game, I
missed that game.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
And I have college football on Friday most nights or
most if I get all the games on Sunday and
I get Sunday night football is Monday night football absolutely
as much of a watch as it was.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, if I missed the game, I missed the game.
We never had that before, right, But now we're at
the point where you're getting to be potentially overserved with football.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And it's okay.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It's not about losing the specialists of it's it's that
we get lazier as we get older. Were we like
the movie We like the movie Up Not Up Wali,
where everybody goes into space and everything is right at
their fingertips and nobody gets up off their chairs and
everybody gains a lot of weight and just clicks on
things to get food coming and watch on team you
just described America.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
That's kind of where we that's kind of where we.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Are, and you hear hello Dolly at the end?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I have enough just sitting up my TV Saturday and
watching college football. I will find a game. I will
watch Colorado Nebraska rather than do I do I really
want to watch Texas Michigan.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Or I'd rather watch Colorado.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
If I can't watch Texas Michigan or and I'd rather
watch Colorado Nebraska. I will find it NFL on Sunday.
I'll have all the games on the game Sunday night.
Monday night. I could watch it if I need to,
But nah, if not, it's not. It's not the worst thing.
I'm okay with it because I've had football so much
and and and that's where the NFL and college football
has to kind of draw the line a bit to say, Okay,
(12:03):
we still needed to be a little bit special, but
it can't be that special because we're only going to
go so far. Ten years ago, fifteen years ago, if
there's something like this happened, people would go to the
wall to watch a football game. I remember when when
when the big NFL networks before I worked at NFL Network,
when the NFL network dispute was raged for years where
(12:23):
half the homes in the country didn't get NFL network
because they couldn't figure out their deal with what was
It was a big It was so low.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It was like this like fifteen I remember the hit.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Whatever cable company it was, it covered like half the
country right, covered like half the country, and so they
couldn't get on. It was a big thing for NFL Network.
Then when I was there, they solved it.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Okay, NFL network grew and it was it was fantastic.
But I remember going out for a Packers Cowboys game
that NFL network had but wasn't on anywhere. And I
went to three different bars a half hour before the
game and I couldn't get in, and I couldn't get in,
not even get a seat, I couldn't get standing room.
And this is I think it was far from the
Cowboys on a Thursday night when insane game and I go,
(13:07):
this is three bars that I know that I've been
and I can't even get in the door and the
game hasn't even started yet. Like that's the levels we
would go to before for football. Are we gonna do
that anymore?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
If this game is not, we're sports sports, sports bars
absolutely packed tonight for people. I can't get this game,
so I gotta get out there.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I don't think they.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Were and and and and and NFL and no matter
what kind of product you have, you gotta understand, there's
only so far people are gonna go for it. So
these so far people go until they say, yeah, no,
I'm okay with not doing it. I'm okay. And and
the NFL is kind of there, and and messing around
with cable that's where they are, and same thing, and
ESPN is kind of there. ESPN has a lot of
(13:46):
great sports programming, a lot of great live sports program
but you know what, a lot of other places have
live sports programming. Now you get a lot of college
football and Fox and on FS one. You get a
lot of it on CBS, get a lot of it
on NBC, get a lot of it on TNT and
TBS and other stations. And now you're seeing stuff on
True TV. So you will get football, You'll get the ACC. Now,
I'll get it on the ACC network. I'll get to
(14:07):
watch Syracuse every week, You'll get the SEA, all all
the different networks you get. It's only gonna go so far.
And what ESPN and cable companies have to realize is
you are at that tipping point right now, and if
you mismanaged stuff, boy, it's gonna be a bad year
ratings wise, which means you can't charge as much money
for rates, which means less people watching your product. There's
less there's less people that are advertising. You're making less
(14:30):
money there. I mean, that's where where where both ESPN
and Direct TV don't understand how dangerous this war is.
Because I guarantee you they thought, well, when this happened
last week, Monday football is gonna be solved. No it's
not so Now if it's not solid for week one,
when it's the Jets and the forty nine ers, when's
it gonna get solved for?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Well, I think they knew Jordan Mason was gonna start.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
There's a McCaffrey's got a big family and they're all
gonna watch.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
So we're gonna be good.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You got Ed McCaffrey, you got his mom, You got
Dylan McCaffrey, who never made it really at Michigan. You
got the other McCaffrey. We all got the McCaffrey's all over.
We got McCafferty from the Jellicle Cats nice anytime we
get cats and we've won. But yeah, I mean the
other thing is you start going down the rabbit hole
to look, say you can't get a particular game, and
(15:18):
you start going on the rabbit hole, you realize how
much other live sporting events are available to you on
some of these apps, right, I mean we're going down
the road of hey, is this kind of college, this,
that or the other available sitting there with Madeline like,
as a matter of fact, here's a whole rabbit hole
I didn't know existing, And for six bucks a month,
(15:39):
now you have access to all of it, so instead
of watching bad reruns of some show that she's already binged.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Now, it's like, I can go watch more soccer, I
can go watch more this. Are we watching liv and
Maddie again? Yes? You you say it? On half of
me we watch Celebrate Duck Cameron's entire catalog.
Speaker 1 (16:00):

Speaker 1 (17:08):
You get podcasts, Fox Sports Radio, the Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon, Spot The Lie Livemanti
Rack dot Com Studios. And now we'll have more on
the Niners and the Jets coming up in a few minutes.
Going to hear from Aaron Rodgers. But there are three
guys in the NFL whose days as a starting quarterback
(17:32):
are nearing an end much more quickly than you'd expect
them to. Deshaun Watson, Kirk Cousins, and Daniel Jones, right,
all three of them.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
When your booed play two and your head coach has
to say, I'm not making a quarterback change after Week one, Yeah,
you're close to losing your gig. When you have a
really bad Week one and your head coach says your
injury from last year was not the problem. Kirk Cousins,
Guess what, You're not holding onto that job very long.
Deshaun Watson, who was just Look, he was flat out
(18:05):
terrible on Sunday. I understand it was a very rough
week for him. He lost his dad, he lost one
of his teammates at Clemson. But it's not a one
game thing for him and for every and every time
I see people say the same thing about Deshaun Watson,
I go, do you not live in reality? Okay, because
Deshaun Watson is maybe one or two weeks away from
(18:27):
being replaced by Jameis Winston. All Right, you've heard all that,
You've seen the guy play, Look all the stuff you've
heard in the promos and heard that's been said on Fox.
We told you about Deshaun Watson two weeks ago, right
and months ago. He's not gonna be the quarterback for
very long. He's not played well, he's not played a
lot of football, and the Browns aren't gonna flush another season.
They're not gonna let him go sixteen. He's got seventeen
(18:49):
weeks now, He's got another couple of weeks because if
the Browns offense is absolutely dreadful. They're going to make
a move. They have a guy on the bench who
has played well before, not that Jameis Winston suddenly is
the greatest guy in the world. But you can't keep
trotting out a quarterback that doesn't put up results. He
was awful against the Cowboys on Sunday, and the Browns
(19:10):
aren't going to let another year or the talented roster.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Go to waste.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Right, you'll worry about the money at the end of
the year, right, and we'll get to the money, but
you'll worry about the money the end of the year.
But he's doing all this money. If we cut him,
we've got all those dead come up forget about that.
Worry about the money at the end of the year,
get wins now, figure things out later, just like we
say with the forty nine ers who said screw it,
we're doing the right thing. We're gonna pay Brandon Ayuk,
We're gonna pay Trent Williams, We're gonna pay all the guys,
(19:36):
and we're gonna figure things out after this year.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
We're holding the Lombardi Trophy up.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
If we lose three of the guys making fifteen million
dollars or more. Next year we lose three guys, but
we won the Super Bowl. The Niners that we'll figure
out the money in the off season. If you're the Browns,
it's the same thing. We'll figure out the money in
the off season. How long can you go before you understand, Okay,
Deshaun Watson is not the guy he was. He just isn't.
He's terrible and things aren't going to get better. He's
(20:02):
not gonna suddenly get it. It's not you need to
make a change. And so I think I look at
this and go, if we're still having this conversation after
week three, that's a long time because you get out
of September in and up to no no, no, no, no.
I know, the season a little bit longer now with
the extra game there's you know, with the extra wildcard. Okay,
we still feel alright with where we're at, but they're
(20:24):
not going to go through again what they went through
last year, which was Deshaun Watson was bad, then he
got hurt. Then they figured they played four quarterbacks. Brian
Sipe was two of them. And then we picked Joe
Flacco up off his couch a boy. He got us
to the playoffs and it was the magic carpet ride
that ended a little bit early for us. But that's
not going to happen. The money will get figured out
and it will be Jameis Winston playing quarterback for there.
(20:46):
We told you in the off season. Hey, he's gonna
play at least half the games a quarterback for the
Browns this year. Now that can get to three quarters. Like,
I'm okay moving that from half the games to three
quarters at this point, just because the Browns aren't going
to sit here and let this continue.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Well, the heart part with it is, you know, it
goes back to the economic truism, that is some costs
and recognizing what it is. And you can do this
with anything anything. You purchase your car, your your home,
your whatever. You put the money into the TV. You've
gotten enough years out of it, and you move on.
(21:23):
You know, they always did the conversation we were having before, Hey,
you get a new TV. Now you can stream and
put everything up on the television from the laptop and
everything else to give yourself that bigger picture. And the
big picture here is that you've spent the money. Now
you can massage things to do whatever you can for
dead cap purposes. And how much he's owed and the
(21:44):
guarantees made all bad business. My favorite meme yesterday going
around was the little clip from Moneyball of Jonah Hill
pointing to the whiteboard. See this, this is a guy.
He's Deshaun Watson. He's no good I'm paraphrasing. And the
ironic thing is that was supposed to be Paul de Podesta,
who was the chief strategist who brought Deshaun Watson in
(22:06):
and orchestrated the deal and all the guaranteed money that
brought him to Cleveland, even though he was Moneyball guy.
Now he had money and got the authorization. But just
remember what happened with Deshaun Watson. He took that year off.
He's not been that guy since. Right, he had a
big year and then they played hardball and he sat
on the sidelines and everything else, and now here we are.
(22:29):
So for the Browns, you've got a good roster. You're
in a tough division, and eventually all those other guys
are gonna have to get paid too, and so you
don't want to waste the year and opportunity. Pittsburgh being
whatever they are, we're looking at them as a five
hundred plus or minus a game or two kind of
team each and every year Cincinnati gets punched in the
(22:51):
face by New England in Week one. We'll see what
happens with the chirping going on between Jamar Chase and
t Higgins about their deals and and trying to get
those things remedied. Uh. And then you know you you're
looking at Baltimore that they lose to Kansas City, but
they look like they'll be game like they are most years.
(23:12):
So you're not gonna give away games because I think
they're they're with everybody else the back end of the schedules,
all your division stuff. So early on you've got to
try to stack some w's because the the eating will
get much harder. See what I'm doing there, because it's
all jamis. Nobody eat W.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You're also hungry. We have we haven't had dinner.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yet, tell you, but it was about eating W.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I know when you start making food analogies, I know
you're normally.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
We get to one now, just trying to think of
what what do I want for dinner? Lad?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
When we talk about a pie chart instead you say
a pizza chart. I know, Okay, you need to eat
your I don't know that I pizza chart you need.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Ately, Harmon's hungry. We got to get some food. All well,
I mean the hot takes will start flying first year.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Let's get somebody to run up to a play a
loco for Harmon, he needs a little bit.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I appreciate that. But yeah, for Deshaun Watson, A really
it's just that hard conversation, all right, And if you're Stefanski,
you've got to go in and be like this is untenable. Yeah, Ken,
we we can't do this. And now you've got Jerome
Ford in instead of Nick Chubb, who's who was a
decent running back. Your wide receiving corps got a little
bit out of Judy expecting more was pretty and was invisible,
(24:23):
which was a bit surprising because I mean Dallas was
down several top defenders in their defensive back. Now they
welcome back digs, but Bland is out. So you're thinking
you're gonna be able to find a free runner instead
nobody could block or about Micah Parsons.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Now, look, so now let's get to the money partner,
because that's what the brown if Week three is gonna
be it, right, he's got an easier match up this
week Week three? Is it for Deshaun Watson. Then you're
gonna see Jameis Winston. Now let's get to the money,
because that's that's the big that's the big default that
I see people say all the time. That just drives
me back. Banana is crazy. Oh they can't cut him
because of the dead cabinet. Show me a situation, any
(25:03):
situation in sports where a team has started a guy
and played him all the way through the end of
his contract just because he's making money. Show me show
me one place where boy, this guy stunk. But not
just gonna start him.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
For a little while.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
We're gonna start him all the way through the end
of a bad contract, three four more years. We're just
gonna keep playing it because we give him big.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Concaut Because I said, kept seeing the same graphic people
posting the snapshot. I don't know which of the contract
websites it was from, but talking about how much he's
owed over two years, like I could agree that, you know,
they'll tough it out, maybe a little bit longer this year, yeah,
and be in you know, hold on for dear life
and hope that they can keep it within the white lines.
(25:46):
But you're telling me they're gonna do that. For a second,
It's not gonna happen. At the end of the year,
they'll figure out the money. You know why, because teams
always figure out the money because you can write it off.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Like Kramer told us, Aaron Rodgers was never getting traded.
Look at the dead cap hit for the for the Packers.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Look at the cap. What happened.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Aaron Rodgers got traded and it wasn't really that difficult.
It was just the Jets wanted them. The Packers wanted
an extra first round pick, and that's we played poker
for that. The money was taking care of money, was
taking care.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Of Denver Doug a giant hole and buried.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
But look at the dead cap pit. But guess what
also happens. The cap goes up every single year. I'm
not saying it's not going to be belt tightening, because
there is that going on. But look at the roster
you have right now, Ross you have right now. If
there's no Deshaun Watson. Okay, wait a minute, So the
roster we have right now, there's no Deshaun Watson, we
(26:39):
still have the quarterbacks. We're gonna draft somebody most likely,
and we're gonna make replacements. We'll lose a couple of players,
but we'll go forward. They will find a way. All
teams find a way. Nobody plays a guy for a
long period of time just because he's getting paid.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Gold Bloom, Jurassic Park there finds ay.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Uh. But by the way, I can't believe that line
is so famous, Like every time I see that in
a big setting, like he says that and everybody claps.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Though he was behind the uh bono fly glasses. Ironically,
the guy that played the fly.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Is even better than the real thing life is. But
but to think that the money can't be worked, it's
it's insane. And I don't get why people get they
can't do it, because no, they'll figure out the money either,
it will be some kind of payment, they'll spread out
the dead cap, they'll they'll redo other people's contracts, give
them that. That's the that's the biggest thing. I don't
(27:37):
know why every team is said to say, we're gonna
give you your entire contract and the signing bonus so we
can sign some other guys.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Oh, okay, that's just right. You convert it to a
signing bonuses.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Don't tell me they can't because they figure no matter
how bad a situation is, you could have a guy
whose dead cap would be the entire salary cap, and
still a team would find a way to figure it out.
Over the course of a year. All will do this.
Now it's gonna be thin. We're gonna spread the dead over.
But the cap keeps going up every year. This is
not going to be a case where the Browns are
gonna plead poverty and say we can't even feel the tap.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
No, you'll be fine. Look at the figure.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Out the mind.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Look what the forty nine ers just did right to
get Williams and I. You taken care of debo restructure,
created some sixteen point five million dollars of cap space
signing bonus. Smooth it out like the rough waters. We
used the analogy last week. Rough waters, but it's a
nice little ripple when it gets to the shore, looks
(28:32):
really rough and choppy out there, and then you just
easily ride it out. And that's that's the NFL and
salary cap. It looks daunting and it's a nice talking point,
but it's very easy to figure out all the loopholes
of how to change this out. Hey, can we give
you a signing bonus. It's Witten. Yeah, okay, you get
cash on hand. Might as well sing the JG. Wentworth
(28:54):
song while you're at it. Not a spot ag Wentworth.
So to think it's not true. It's two more weeks
and it's the Jameis Winston era. However long that lasts.
With the Cleveland Browns, Jamis Dennis, Dennis, Derek Anderson Spurgeon
win Going back to that giant graphic from the Fox broadcame,
you can have Tim Couch and Kelly Holcombe come back
(29:16):
and battle it out. Now we're talking, Yeah, we can
get Brady some more run. He just comes out of
the booth suiting up for the Browns.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I could throw. I met Brady Quinn, our teammate here
he was with the Browns.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I like Brady Quinn, but I think if they had
the choice between Tom Brady and Brady Quinn, go with
Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Look, man, there's petitions for him to be the Raiders quarterback.
I think I think owner slash quarterback. I think I
think Money Smith and uh Daniel Jeremiah with the best
little back and forth. Ever, is like this game rock fight,
because there was nothing going on, but you got a
petition in New York for the Giants. Brady can Brady
suit up for us? I know we beat him twice
(29:56):
in Super Bowls, but he can come and save us, right, Please.

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Speaker 1 (30:14):
The Jason Smith Show is My best Friend Mike Harmon
live from the Tirack dot com studios and uh, the
first individual to now go on my never again.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
List never again. So this is you're never picking them again,
never picking.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Them, never believing them, never because I put Teas on
my never again list. Yeah, I can't pick them to
go any farther because they just never do it no
matter what.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
So are we talking fantasy drafts? Are we talking? We
are talking?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Just we are talking the Draft of life, the Draft
of life. Because Jerry Jones is on my NEPHIK. Yes,
I am never believed. I am never believing him, I
am never understanding. I told you I'm a gun with
Jerry Jones, of all the of all all the things
we just waited for, the whole all in, we're not
(31:03):
gonna pay. We're gonna be prudent, We're not gonna do
it all off season, all the big Controversies' gonna pay
CD Lamb's he gonna pay Dak Prescott. He's drawn a
line in the sand with Dak Prescott. No, no, nope,
gonna pay CD Lamb. And you gonna pay Dak Prescott
the same money that I was gonna pay him.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Right before the season starts. I told you eleventh hour
Jerry was gonna come through again. I thought old dogs,
don't I think if.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Venom Jerry Jones would overrun regular Jerry Jones, because Venom
Jerry Jones was good, he was pretty funny, taking control
of Jerry Jones's body, making him not pay Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Jerry Jones would say that I really got the itch.
Haven't paid a guy in a while.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
And Venom Jerry drop Jerry just let me nibble on
his foot a little bit. Just let's not pay him.
Let me just snack on his right foot.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
No, can't do that, because well, especially the seven step
drop He's gonna just fall down. Three step drop maybe
five step drop, I don't know, but seven step drop.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Can't do They got so venom. Jerry Jones has a
little Rex Ryan and to.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Not not running, not running for a first out.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
He can't do it.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Jerry, come on, don't pay him. You just said the
whole thing about being all in. Let's be all in
next offseason. I'll eat everybody's head and then you can
pay for people. I'll eat my party's head and you
can get Pella Chick, and then I can eat Dak's
head and you can go get Kirk Cousins. This will
be wonderful. Jerry.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Nope, sorry, gonna beat you back, just like the Hardy
guy did uh not not the hardy Boys, not the
one Parker Stevenson and Shaw got hair talking about the
hardy the fellow, the Bain Kid. Uh sorry, I'm gonna
beat you back, Venom. You gotta just kind of coexist
with me, because, uh, I'm gonna go pay Dak Prescott
like I thought Venom Jerry Jones would take would take
(32:45):
over throughout the rest of the season.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I was laughing because we were talking about it yesterday
doing the Morning Show with with Bucky Brooks, and we
got into Jerry, we got into it a little bit
like the carryover of you know, who's in, who's out?
What is it mean? Whatever? And he's like, well, once
the football start flying, push it away. But it's like
is there possibility? And then literally I'm driving home and
(33:08):
all of a sudden, it's like, eh, Dak Prescott got
his money. I'm like, Jerry, you didn't you know, you
came through once again. And I'm stupid because I because
all of it.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
No, he really held Dak Prescott to a hide the
two playoff loss.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I mean he didn't pay Michael Parson John and Michael
Parsons evidently didn't get asked for you know, risk size
for the rolexes that I guess Dak's giving out.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I couldn't take it anymore, had had to pay him. Yeah,
I didn't know what to do. Like he felt, he
fell for the whole, Dak Prescott. If they don't pay me,
that shows a lot about them, what they think about me. No, no, no,
And I fall victim of the fact that Jerry Jones
loves to pay guys that he drafted because he thinks
this reflects well on me. That I'm paying guys money,
and I never understand that. But he loves paying guys
(33:56):
because it makes him look good.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
But look at when he did it. Do those right? Hey,
I'm on the sidelines with the number one Fox crew.
I can go shake hands with Tom Brady and they're
gonna talk about me signing Dag Prescott up in the
booth now.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
And I can't get the Brady kid for next year
because that's my other plan. Uh was getting him that
That would have been That would have been a fun time.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
I mean the genius move right, the Master's showing. We
used to joke all about come see my monkeys, anything
and everything. He's like now it's hey, the circus is
in Town's week one. Dak got his cas.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I'm never believing anything. He says that he's on my
never again list. I'm never believing him. No, I'm done.
I'm done. All the teams on I never again list.
I'm never picking to win anything because they never do
and they go one time too many, No, Jerry Jones
saying this is one time too many. Dak is well
that we have to think about what we paid back
before we gotta pay. All you did was pay him
what you were gonna pay him anyway, We went through
(34:48):
all of this stuff to get there. We had your
word salad last week that none of us could understand. No, no, no,
And I feel stupid. I feel stupid and contagious. I
feel stupid because I fell for Jerry Jones and I
thought venom Jerry Jones would take care of things for me,
and he didn't.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Jerry's out there.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
No, no, no, I can't can't change who I am. Got
gotta give guys money, even though boy gonna be tough
to fit guys on the sour cap.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Now, well, he just decided it was less dangerous to
pay the guy that was his incumbent. See, I just
pushed it forward.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
To used the word incumbent. It's pretty good when I.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Mean, it is a political season, so we talk about
those things. But also when we look at Dak Prescott
as much as folks wanted the moons like he's not
worth the money. It's like, okay, how many teams right
now would roll over and beg for Dak Prescott to
be there? Somebody would you get dismissed it say, oh,
it's playoff record. Whatever. It's like, you gotta get to
(35:45):
the playoffs to lose.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Jerry. Now, who am I going to be able to
eat what you paid all the guys? Hey, let me
get a little taste of that.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Micah Parsons, he's gotta go find another hosts.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I'm gonna pay him next. Got a big podcast and
pay him next. Don't worry about it. Exit out by
the Fresco Exit swollen dome. Coming up next, The biggest
difference between the forty nine ers and the Jets. We'll
tell you of all about it.
