You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings, Welcome in side our three, The Jason Smith Show
with my bes friend Mike Harmon. So, uh, we'll get
to that big game as we remember the life of
Lou Holtz coming up in a couple of seconds. But
we we we got to talk about SGA and his
(00:51):
fur coat, Yeah, that he wore arriving to the garden tonight.
And then you're postgame. You can see it on social
media definitely. Here's the thing, Okay, seeing this, it's a
fur coat and then it's got part of it is
like wrapped around his neck and the back of his head.
I don't know that what he's wearing isn't still alive.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That would be interesting. It looks like it's okay, like
or did he kill it himself? Like he killed the knicks.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I don't know what it looks like.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Looks like one of those things what did they call
him in Star Wars where they cut the middle out
of them and it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Look did you keep smell? I need to keep you warm,
Luke to sleep inside SGA's fur coat. Like this is
like it's a it's a regular fur and it's a
big fur coat. Right, so it's not something that like
is has been made for him. It's not a custom
made fur coat. It's too big, and it's got like
it's almost like walking. It's like he's got a huge
(01:51):
Santa Claus beard, except it's part of the fur coat,
like it's there, I guess to protect your your throat
and so you know, you stay warm, you know in
those the cold New York wo Yeah. But really I
look at it and I go, it might still be alive.
It might just be something that like in a science
fiction movie where eventually then it starts moving around and go,
(02:11):
oh okay, no that he's got some kind of power
over it and it just keeps him warm around us.
Not that is some next level stuff. I'm thinking that
the Yeti.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Character from The Abominable is kind of what he's got
look looking down here, or maybe the one voiced by
Ratzenberger in the Pixar World. But it is some next
level stuff. I mean that is I don't even know
what animal that would be. That's just insane. But it
does look like a beard as he's walking, like you're
(02:42):
waiting for the mouth to start moving.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, or.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
To try to eat anybody trying to get an autograph
or a picture. Now, do you think it's all one
coat or do you think like there's the coat and
then there's the head gear.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Or would you put over there it's all one. You
think it's all one.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
But the only way you can ever get away with
something like this is if you killed it and stuffed
at yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
No, but that's what I mean, like that would be
the oldest question to It's like a what animal is it? B?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Did you did you go hunting? What continent? What? He
didn't go hunting? He beat the knicks, Yeah no, no, no,
he stop they cheated.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Well he's because he's trending for not only the coat
but also now Mike Brown crying, Wait, I just asked Ai,
it's a okay, oh wow, okay, it is a it's
AI telling me this and this and this is not
be going to chat GPT where we had to is.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It like fox?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
No, no, Well well that's the thing. That's what I'm
telling you. So I don't think we have to worry about.
I'm just going to AI. I'm not searching where we
have to worry about. Okay, that's twenty gallons of water
that's gone now. Uh Sga has been spotted wearing a
fox fur jacket. Specifically, it is a brown fox fur
jacket that he wore to a game in January and
(03:56):
this could be the same one. Okay, quick, brown fox.
Now I will say this, what fox is that big dude?
That'd be the biggest fox in the world. Man, No way,
that's like that'd be a bit like this would be
where like, hey, guess what we raised this fox and
and we're gonna shave off like like it's a sheep.
We're gonna shave off the hair and make a coat
and then it's gonna grow more than have the So
I think it's a fox coat. I think it is. Yeah,
(04:20):
I mean a red fox. They say it's only and
TJ clearly is red fox jumping over the lazy dog. Dummy.
He say, lamont you dummy, give me my fur coat?
J So the common red I walked right.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I started thinking about him screaming, it's right as I said,
eight to fifteen pounds, the gray fox seven to thirteen.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Like what else can we we get?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
It?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Is this like a Game of Thrones kind of animal
that he's getting?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Maybe you know what I mean, level it could be
one of those. Yeah, like we've got a.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Mutant fox that they're growing in a lab, like with
the Windwalkers hang out.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
You can't even get a price on this, you know
what it says, dude, tens of thousands of dollars? Oh yeah, no,
not not even Oh you're kidding. It's got to be.
It's got to be. I mean, hundreds thousands of dollars
that thing. Yeah, this is unbelievable. Yeah, I mean it
looks because it looks like it almost looks like he's
fighting it, Like it looks like he didn't no, no, no,
but I think like like when he's wearing it in,
(05:21):
I almost feel like it looks like he's fighting it.
It's alive and it's winning because it has him by
the throat.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, but but you can you back out on yourself? Yeah?
Do you need a stylist to help you out?
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Hey? Can?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I know? It's like in the movies where where the
bad guy has has the gun to the to the
person after they robbed the bank, and they're going, all right, everybody, oh, guys,
back away or I'll shoot back away, I'll shit, and
then like you know, Hancock comes in and says or
whatever it is, but almost looks like he's walking in.
All right, everybody back away. This thing has to me
by the throat, all right, So you know this is
like it's aliens or something. Okay. Two things. One, I
(05:57):
really want to find out.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
How how many Fox carcasses are part of this?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
For here will find out TJ what the Fox has
to say about this guy, Mike. The company is called
Canada Goose. Okay. Don't they make alcohol? That's Goose? Oh,
Greg Goose okay. But the other is, you're the guy
that saw handcock. Greg Goose is not from Canada. Hancock's
pretty good movie, was that. Charlie Stone, Yeah, Charlie Stone
(06:28):
is Jason Bateman. Charlie ste Yes, Charlie Stare and Wilson's
in there too, Bateman and Charlie Staarren are married and
there's a big twist in the middle of the movie.
It's not just a superhero movie. All right.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Well, I'm now pulling this up here. Yeah, the lightweight
jackets best. Parker's long. Parker's not lightweight.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That's a heavy That is a heavy jacket that he
is wearing. So let's go to short Parkers. It's not
a short Parka definitely not a short Parker. Man. I'm
just trying to get a base life we're talking about.
This is full Parker, this is this is this is
not short, but this is fun, this is this is
Dave Parker. Man, that's a this is this is west
(07:09):
park I was just trying to establish a base for
what we're talking about costs. This is Parker Stephenson, this
is this is this is uh, who is a guy
can't lose, Charlie Parker, can't lose nically done nice, this
is Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
A short Parker from this place. Non athlete custom is
a fourteen dollars item.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Oh that's that seems pretty cheap. Yeah, that's the knockoff. No,
but that's what But I mean, like, that's the one
for you.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, exactly, walking in off the rack time, the one
that make a cowboy war.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I wonder if you walked by it and you heard
someone say, many boffins died to bring us this information.
Many bothins died to bring you this coat. What's a
boffin's I mean you want a pair of snow pants?
I mean you're looking at nine hundred buck yeah, yeah, yeah, no, No,
But but the coat is I mean, this is a
this is a coat, This is a level.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
This is a coat of coats ten tens of thousands,
Like if it was just a coat of many colors,
it would be resplendent in a whole other way. And
with the fact that that thing may actually be trying
to kill him as he wears it. It's a secret weapon.
You think I'm just SGA and I'll get you to
follow me. No, no, no, you come in and you
get an even even close not only you're getting the
fall from the referee. This thing may attack you.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
But this is one that you can't pull off every
day like in New York. Maybe, yeah, you can't like
rolling the cans with it.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
No, No, I would love.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
If you did the kind of thing that you had
Daniel Radcliffe years ago do where he had the same
look for six months so the paparazzi would leave him alone.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh yeah, he's in the same outfit. Damn it. Like
he didn't sell it's beau. He's filming a documentary right now, Mike, Yeah,
he is. He's doing The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.
It's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty Tracy Morgan's hysterical. Uh
but no, but I mean, but you see, I see this,
and I go, all right, my dog is kind of
the same color as his coat, and my dog, my dog, hangup,
(09:06):
and my dog likes to sit in my last No,
don't get any ideas.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
What.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
So what I can do is, are you gonna make
a Benny coat?
Speaker 8 (09:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
No, no, no no, because because what no, no, no, this
is Bailey. This is Bailey Bailey coat. Yeah. So what
I can do is get a picture of SGA or
dog SGA with his coat on, and then I just
get a picture of Bailey like on my chest, like
laying on me like he does, and I can do
a who wore it better? You know that's good? My
dog sleeping on my chest or SGA with his first Because.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I really thought this was taking a dark turn after
midnight on the East Coast, saying no, but Bailey, Bailey
is my shadow, right, Like, fifty two years never had
a dog, was allergic.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Now in the last three years, I have two dogs.
Now I can't get over this.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I was I was a dog wandering myself. I never

you sell like Zach Gallavanaki is I'm a one man
wolf back and now I'm but three dog wolf back. Uh,
fifty two years I was dogs, could never have one.
We found this breed multi poo and all and and
I'm not allergic.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
And how I have two dollars Jason, how about you
start with first showing the picture your dog's the picture
of Sga wearing it first, to see if they're cool.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh, oh, Bailey would bark at it.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Oh is that a friend, because you've said fans were
like people pretend like it's a real animal, but it's
a cake and they start cutting it in front of them.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
They start losing their mind. Oh, I don't know I
could do that.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Bailey feels like you get arrested in California for things
like that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You get the needle. Yeah, Ben the cake. Benny would
see it. Benny's Benny's smart. Bailey's pretty.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Bailey would see it. He would get he would get pretty, uh,
you get pretty weird enout by what's happening here. They're
cutting into that. Oh okay, Oh it's it's cake. Okay.
Benny would just go yeah, whatever, Okay. I'm telling you,
the same color, same color, better him than me. I'm
gonna go home tonight. Here's what I do. I'm gonna
go home tonight. I'm gonna be in the same pose
as as as s g A. I'm gonna put bareley

it's the same thing. And then we do who wore
it better me and my dog like and his and
his fox fox fur coat A win and a fashion icon. Yeah,

I mean, that's that is that is a coat. It's
(11:21):

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Coats, man, No, that is some next level stuff coats.
I mean he really must get cold around the.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Neck, man. I'll tell you now, we'll get to the
lou Holtz thing. But we when we saw this coat
starting to take over social media. We kind of had
to get to it.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Well, I mean that's the kind of coat after you
vanquish an opponent, you know, you take down the knicks,
and then you say, well, look when I got of here,
next level stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
We'll ask Rick Buker about this, Like Rick can pull
that coat off? Okay, we'll see, we'll see. We'll see
if he can pull it off. That's a that's a
that is it? Not everybody can pull that coat off. No,
you gotta be like m v P. Yeah, you got
you gotta be right. Like the way he's walking like
(12:05):
he doesn't even have it ZEBA that thing probably that's
probably that you know, most guys run with like weight vests,
Like he just runs with that fur coat on and
that's it. He's but he's wearing jeans and a white
T shirt and I got this fur coat basic look
nice and clean.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Fifty Oh I think again, that's only fifty.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Well, but I mean it's a special breed of fox.
The size of that fur coats easily in the six
figure Where the hell did they find that fox? That's
probably asked the question. The expedition to find that probably when? Where? Where?
Where did the wait not no, I know where they
got him. Where Where did Batman fight with roz Eye Gool?
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Yeah, it's like the mountains of Tibet.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
They found some I watched the Fox Godzilla and King
Kong and all that and fighting those weird weird ass monsters.
Speaker 1 (12:57):

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh no, I usually run a tiny middle school with
my dogs every day. And by a tiny bit, I
mean maybe around the block, maybe a little bit of
a sprint. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I do,
really short block. Yeah, it's just my house in the
corner and that's it.
Speaker 9 (13:28):

SGA's code SGA's code. I think it was Fox a
Fox for a coat, Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Big stuff out
(16:13):
of the NBA tonight.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
No body better than Fox Sports won NBA Insider Extraordinaire.
Check out the On the Ball podcast new book out
as well. He is joining us tonight wearing the same
exact coat SGA war to Madison Square Garden tonight for
the next game. Rick, you must be pretty warm if
(16:35):
you're wearing that coat indoors.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Well, actually, actually it's not the exact same one. I
had the sleeves taken off so that I can show
off my guns at the same time.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
That would really be a Game of Thrones type for
coat Rick wearing with the guns.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Yeah, sure, that's absolutely absolutely. It was kind of a
as I see it. It was it's kind of a
cross between like a furry Pez machine and uh and
and pac man, is what I was thinking.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Okay, I wasn't sure that it might not still be
alive and it was keeping him hostage like that could
be a two.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
Well, what I really want to know is there's a
there's a.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Metal plate in the front. What what is that about?
That's that's what took me to the Pez dispenser. But
I I have a lot of questions, and this is this,
This is my one rule. This is my one rule
in terms of what I wear. I don't want people
looking at it and asking questions. That's what I I
don't want. I don't want people going hmmm, what is
(17:40):
that where did it come from? Why is he wearing it?
I don't want any I don't want.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
Any of that, And this raises a lot of questions.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
This is also I think Robin Williams has a thing
where you know, if you if you're if you develop
a cocaine problem, that's God's way of telling you you're
making too much money. I would say the same applies
with this code that probably cost a pretty penny. Yeah,
and I'm.
Speaker 8 (18:05):
Thinking, you know what this is, this is a sure sign.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
As much as I believe that that NBA players are
worth every dime, this might be a proof that we
just we need to put we need to put that
money in different places.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Well, Rick, a lot of a lot of star athletes
will tell you, hey, if you look good, you play good.
And he looked good going in here.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
No, no, no, I was gonna say, in spite of
that coat he.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Played, it's fair.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I want to know where they hunted that fox. That's
the bigger thing, all right. But Mike Brown postgame complaining
about s g A. He's a tough cover, great job
convincing the referees, probably better than anybody in the league
that he's getting hit. So sour and graves once again
as the thunder escaped with a close win.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Here, I'm not big on those sour grapes and watching
that game.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
St.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
St A got to the cup so easily, and that
was the thing that struck me. If Jalen Brunson did
some work. But when Jalen Brunson, the effort there is
just palpable. He has to work so hard to get
to his spots and to get any sort of paint penetration,
(19:15):
and SGA just gets there so easily and is so fluid,
and obviously at six' six has a size. Advantage but
anybody who's trying to present the idea that he's a
free throw merchant and that the only secret to his
success is the fact that he gets a, Whistle, look,
(19:38):
that in my mind is a. Skill if you want
to take issue with the calls THAT sga is, getting
don't take issue WITH. Sga you gotta take issue with
the referees like he's he is exploiting the system in
getting to the free throw. Line and by the, way
(19:58):
he is not the biggest. CULPRIT i, mean why do
we not have the same conversation About Luka, dancic who
LAST i, checked averages far more free throw attempts THAN sga,
does or at least is ahead of him in free throw,
attempts and does not have and does not play the
game at both ends of the. Floor AND i would
(20:20):
dare say doesn't do as much AS sga does If
i'm not. Mistaken he had eight or nine assists tonight as.
Well AND i JUST i take great issue with the idea,
that you know WHAT sga it's all about the whistle
that he gets from the. REFEREES i think he is, far,
far far more talented than.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That now you got to the next Topic. Rick obviously
the situation With luca and The lakers AND Jj. Reddick
they won three in a. Row maybe it's a new
beginning FOR. La but obviously the back and forth on
the bench the other night With reddick And. Luca they
both want to downplay. It is this just a case, of,
hey this happens over eighty two, games or do you
(21:02):
see something there With luca And? Reddick and there could
be a, Thing, well.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
It does happen over eighty two. Games but you're talking
about a dispute between and a very visible one between
your superstar player and your head coach and take me
back to the last time we saw in exchange like
that Between Steph curry And Steve kerr Or sta And
(21:29):
mark dagnol OR i, mean we can go down the.
Line let's, go let's Go Jalen brunston And Mike brown like.
Sore there is something, there and it'll be interesting how
they navigate, this Because i'm of the mind that if
it was as has been, suggested it was an issue
(21:51):
Regarding luca complaining about the calls with the referees and
not giving enough ef for on, defense those are legitimate
things to call him out, on and if he's not
going to respond to, it then that's trouble for The
lakers going forward because they can go out and they you,
(22:13):
know they're Not they're not the team they need to
be right, now or they don't have the talent Around
luca that they. Need dallas proved that you can get
enough talent to get to the, finals BUT i don't
know that you win it Unless luca takes defense more,
seriously and unless he takes the opportunity not to get
back on defense by by complaining about. Calls that has to.
(22:36):
Change Before i'm going to say That luca will win
a championship before his career is.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Over, Hey, eric league, wide we hit the over. Today
we actually have three games decided by ten or points are.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Fewer, well at this, point it's all about matchups because
it's the it's the haves and the we're waiting for
the draft so we can join the. Haves is how
this league is, divided and so you're going to have.
THAT i, MEAN i think Honestly Adam silver cracking down
On utah And indiana because excuse, me they played it
(23:15):
close for three quarters and they were, like, well we
got we were entertaining for three, quarters but we got
to make sure we don't win this. Game now they're, like,
oh you're going to find us if we play it
close for three. Quarters, fine we'll let this game get
out of hand in the first. Half we're just we'll
give ourselves no opportunity to win this, game and then
maybe we'll avoid the. Fine because at this, point there's
(23:39):
nothing that can.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Be done to stop the.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Blatant tanking and the number of teams that are looking
for a piece of the. Talent it's going to be
in this. DRAFT i think we've talked about it. Before
this is a very special, draft and there are a
number of teams that are looking at it and saying
it's far it's far more worth our while to get
An Aj debonsa or and you can go down the
(24:05):
Line Kingston. FLEMINGS i, mean there's there's there are eight
or nine guys that are very very, coveted AND i
can't even tell you who the best one out of
them is ultimately going to. BE i Think debonsa has
the most. POTENTIAL a lot of questions About Darren, peterson
but and people are big On, boozer BUT i would
(24:25):
say like it could be one of the one of
the guys Down, wagler one of the guys that are
that's a little farther down the. List we've seen that happen.
Before but those are a unique, draft and so you
have teams that are like first round of the playoffs
in this, instance making the play in or the first
round of the playoffs and then losing is not worth
getting one of the talents at the top of this.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Draft.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah the thing outside of, This, ricky you, know we've
obviously had the conversation about tanking and where we are going,
forward AND i love your idea of you, know monetary
penalties depending where you're. At but you, know one thing
we talked about the other night is that you look
at THE nba and this is WHERE i. Go tanking
would just make everything. Worse it's already a night where
when you have eight to ten, games eight or nine
(25:11):
of those games are decided by fifteen. Points. Right we're
at the point now where for twenty five thirty, games
the vast majority of games every night aren't. Close AND
i don't know how long THE nba can keep doing
this on television and people go into the arenas, where,
hey if this game is just going to be a
twenty five point, blowout DO i need to watch? It
DO i need to?
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Go?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Like how long can THE nba still survive?
Speaker 6 (25:33):
This? YEAH i, mean, look this is all a byproduct
of the proliferation of three point, shots AND i would
say the and it feels like at times they're getting
back to allowing the game to be more. Physical but
if you want, it if you want to make it
more difficult to score every time, down you have to
(25:57):
allow some physicality back in the game because it means
fewer free. Throws, Uh AND i dare say it's it's
gonna mean, uh fewer three pointers. Taken you're gonna have
to work to get. Shots it's going to it will
slow the pace. Down and if the pace slows, down
then these wide swings because it's it's not just like
(26:19):
a lot of points being. Scored we have these huge
swings of, momentum and and teams always, think, well we
can we can get back in it if we just
hit a couple of. Threes, well, okay if you hit, them,
yes but if you miss, them now that's a long.
Rebound now it's gonna now it leads to a, runout
which is only going to increase the. Lead so to,
(26:40):
me there there is a. Cure but the league has
to to let go of the idea that we're afraid
that you, know that we might have a scuffle or.
WHATEVER i don't mind guys like scrumming it up a little.
BIT i think THERE'S i think, actually, uh fans and
and all of us should appreciate when it looks like
(27:01):
guys care care enough that they're gonna nobody's gonna punch.
Anybody it's just you, know they're gonna square off and
they're gonna say some stuff and but and then we
keep it. Moving BUT i think that that's really what
has to, happen AND i agree with. You it's IT'S
i have to make and this is. ME i have
To there are times WHERE i have to make myself
(27:22):
watch not that not where, MAN i can't wait to.
Watch it's, like this is my. Job i'm gonna. Watch
there's certain THINGS i want to, see but the actual,
uh suspense and entertainment of the game in and of,
itself a lot of that is. Missing tonight was an
exception with with okay seeing In New. York that was
a fun game to. Watch it was largely competitive and close. Throughout.
(27:48):
Uh it just that shouldn't be the. Exception that should
be closer to the.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Rule, now one of the games while will blowout that
that has my interest peak the current run that is
The Charlotte hornets can it is now the favorite to
Win rookie of The. Year but they've been playing some
pretty good basketball rising up in The east There, Rick.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Yeah, no, no, no it has. Been it has been.
Surprising you, know.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
Kudos To Charles, lee who's who's.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Put this thing. Together but, yeah they have some young
guys that have uh they they're playing with a certain
seriousness that we did not see With LaMelo. BALL i
think THEY'VE i think the majority in the locker room
has sort of taken over and and and maybe he's
not having the same influence that he. HAD i do
take exception With cnipple being the idea that he's going
(28:37):
to Be rookie of The. Year the role that he
has to play For charlotte is, immensely immensely different than
the one That Cooper flagg has to. Play Cooper flagg
has to do everything on the scouting. Report Cooper flagg
is the number one concern of every. Opponent that is
(28:57):
not the case with Con.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Niple AND i love his.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
GAME i love what he's. DONE i think he's A
i think he's a VERY i don't think this is
just a flash in the. PAN i think he's a
very good. Player but if we are going to compare
what the two are responsible for when it comes to their,
teams IT'S i JUST i don't the numbers With kimple
(29:20):
comes in a different. Fashion the attention That cooper gets
is far, greater and yet the numbers are. Comparable for,
Me cooper flag Is rookie of The. Year he's Already
rookie of The. Year it would be really hard for
him to lose it on my.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Ballance he's On twitter At Rick, Buker that is At Rick.
Buker the new Book, Coachable how The Greatest Performers reach

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Smith back to, you, guys thank you very. Much coming up,
next we get back into a big story out of.
Football we remember the life Of Lou holtz and one
of the most famous college football games of all.
Speaker 9 (34:34):
Time, Oh I'm, Superman She's Lois. Lane Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Radio The Jason Smith show with my best Friend Mike.
Harmon now we spent some time tonight talking About Lou
holt's legendary head, coach who passed away today at the
age of eighty. Nine we have some big stuff on
him next. Hour but something that we had THE sga
For coat we had to talk about a few minutes,
ago but his time At Notre dame bringing them back
(35:12):
to prominence when they had just fallen off the. Map
won the national championship in nineteen eighty eight by Beating West.
Virginia could have should have won another national championship the next.
Time they got back a year and a half later
when they lost To colorado ten to, Nine colorado's only national,
championship and it's one of the most famous games in
(35:34):
college football history because of the touchdown that wasn't With
colorado leading ten to nine late in the fourth quarter
with a minute left to, Go colorado's punting To Notre. Dame,
Now Notre dame's return man is Rocket, ismail who was
going to be the number one pick in the draft that,
year but he went to The, sea you, know Decided
i'm going to THE. Cfl i'm gonna make more. Money
(35:56):
he was the most dangerous player in college. Football AND
i still remember the announcer, saying, well if you're, punting
if You're Tom, ruin who punted THE nfl for a long,
time you're gonna punt out of. Bounds you're not gonna
punt a rocket. Ismail Except colorado head Coach bill. McCartney
his punt team was kind of his uh, Hubris, no
we're gonna punt a rocket. Ismail and this is what.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
Happened i'm Sure brown will kick out a bound the
punt out of.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Bounds he has to.
Speaker 11 (36:25):
First priority is to get the kick. Away The irish
will seven ten men And i'll be back. Off well
done the rocket at the ten and he's corral from
up And blake sending a player what not to.
Speaker 8 (36:43):
Do my rocket is.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Mail it's done it. Again Touchdown Notre. DAME i see a, Flag,
DICK i see a. Flag the flag for.
Speaker 11 (36:53):
Gad there is a plaid down at The Notre dame thirty,
Seven so hold.
Speaker 9 (36:58):
On.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
I'm Notre.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
Dame Penalty noah, five the, touchdown seconds light, up, aboves defense.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Secured colorado Spurts nashville. Champion Dick enberg on the call
a clipping, penalty the most famous clipping penalty of all.
Time instead of A Notre dame, touchdown it called it
gets called. Back Rick meer could not Lead Notre dame
down the. Field he throws a pick with a few seconds.
Left colorado wins the national, Title Notre dame. Loses and
(37:28):
the veracity of that penalty and was that a penalty
as one of the most debated topics in all of
college football in the history of the, game because it
was a very kind of. Call you can watch the
replay and, Again i'm sure people watch it all day
today because it would have been the second national. Title
(37:50):
you can see that and seeing this now for fresh
eyes BECAUSE i haven't seen the play in a, while
but obviously After Lou holtz, TODAY i watched it a few.
Times you can see the official pro probably wasn't gonna
throw the flag Until rocket broke into the open. Field
this is one of those if there's no, Advantage i'm
not gonna throw. It because the Player Tim james got
(38:11):
his hands On rocket and the player for the for
the For Notre dame kind of blocked him from. Behind
god his helmet around a little, bit but still blocked
him from the, side sorder from, behind And james gets
his hands on rocket is mail but can't tackle. Him,
still despite, that the flag is not thrown because this
happens around the thirty yard. Line the flag is not
(38:33):
thrown Until rocket gets to. Midfield you could see the
official just whip out the flag and throw, it so
you can tell he didn't want to throw. It but
and if they Tackle, Rocket i'm not gonna throw the,
flag but this is gonna potentially give them a. TOUCHDOWN
i gotta throw the flag because it was clipping AND
i look at the play and even after all these,
years it's it's you, know you're looking for a big
(38:55):
hot take on. THIS i understand why they threw the.
FLAG i don't know That james would have got. Him
he might, have but being in that situation where the
block was sort of right in front of the, referees
it was right next To, Rocket, LIKE i don't know
if it gets thrown if it's five yards, away but
it's right. There it's right when he has a chance
to tackle. HIM i get why they threw. IT i
(39:16):
understand why they threw. It at the, TIME i remember,
going oh, yeah no today and you lost you steak,
ah but you, know looking at it and being and
being legitimate on. IT i see why they threw the.
FLAG i could also see them putting it in their
pocket and not throwing, it but they threw. IT i
don't have a problem with the. Flag, no that's.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
It it's it's enough to where he gets that little
extra bit of daylight that he takes it to the.
House watching a clip With Rocket ishmael talking about it
and it echoed What edinburgh had and they're talking about
on the call of all, right either it's a coffin
corner and For ishmael he goes big leg. Guy, yes
(39:53):
he went on to a BIG nfl. Career, yep he knew,
this this was. IT i thought he was gonna boom
it out the back of the end zone and then
he get gets in the.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
AIR i couldn't BELIEVE i had a chance to even field.
It and where he. Does it's the. Ten, yeah this.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Isn't a hey he's backpedaling to the five or. WHATEVER
i was, Like, no it's the ball is from the forty.
Eight so add the distance for the. KICK i mean
it's a terrible punt by.
Speaker 6 (40:18):
Room.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeah oh on the grand scale right for the year
that he had had and the accolades and the pro
career he went on. TO i, mean he went on
to like nine TEN nfl, teams highly. Decorated the fact
that Isabel i had an opportunity to return it at
all was a big deal and they called the middle
return and he gets just enough of him to create that.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Space SO i understand the. FLAG i, MEAN i, mean it,
sucks BUT i get it because it was kind of a.
Clip and again it's bad, timing it's bad place on the.
FIELD i don't know if he would have got, him
that would have been. Two NOW i wonder how, much
like you, know, guys think ABOUT i bought that one,
play we would have another.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Night so it becomes a much different you, know where
Lou holtz is regarded in the annals of history as.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Well we got more Lou holtz coming up next as
well As Aaron rodgers speaks is he playing this? YEAR
i can tell You chasing And Mike fox

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings, Welcome in side our three, The Jason Smith Show
with my bes friend Mike Harmon. So, uh, we'll get
to that big game as we remember the life of
Lou Holtz coming up in a couple of seconds. But
we we we got to talk about SGA and his
(00:51):
fur coat, Yeah, that he wore arriving to the garden tonight.
And then you're postgame. You can see it on social
media definitely. Here's the thing, Okay, seeing this, it's a
fur coat and then it's got part of it is
like wrapped around his neck and the back of his head.
I don't know that what he's wearing isn't still alive.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That would be interesting. It looks like it's okay, like
or did he kill it himself? Like he killed the knicks.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I don't know what it looks like.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Looks like one of those things what did they call
him in Star Wars where they cut the middle out
of them and it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Look did you keep smell? I need to keep you warm,
Luke to sleep inside SGA's fur coat. Like this is
like it's a it's a regular fur and it's a
big fur coat. Right, so it's not something that like
is has been made for him. It's not a custom
made fur coat. It's too big, and it's got like
it's almost like walking. It's like he's got a huge
(01:51):
Santa Claus beard, except it's part of the fur coat,
like it's there, I guess to protect your your throat
and so you know, you stay warm, you know in
those the cold New York wo Yeah. But really I
look at it and I go, it might still be alive.
It might just be something that like in a science
fiction movie where eventually then it starts moving around and go,
(02:11):
oh okay, no that he's got some kind of power
over it and it just keeps him warm around us.
Not that is some next level stuff. I'm thinking that
the Yeti.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Character from The Abominable is kind of what he's got
look looking down here, or maybe the one voiced by
Ratzenberger in the Pixar World. But it is some next
level stuff. I mean that is I don't even know
what animal that would be. That's just insane. But it
does look like a beard as he's walking, like you're
(02:42):
waiting for the mouth to start moving.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, or.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
To try to eat anybody trying to get an autograph
or a picture. Now, do you think it's all one
coat or do you think like there's the coat and
then there's the head gear.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Or would you put over there it's all one. You
think it's all one.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
But the only way you can ever get away with
something like this is if you killed it and stuffed
at yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
No, but that's what I mean, like that would be
the oldest question to It's like a what animal is it? B?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Did you did you go hunting? What continent? What? He
didn't go hunting? He beat the knicks, Yeah no, no, no,
he stop they cheated.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Well he's because he's trending for not only the coat
but also now Mike Brown crying, Wait, I just asked Ai,
it's a okay, oh wow, okay, it is a it's
AI telling me this and this and this is not
be going to chat GPT where we had to is.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It like fox?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
No, no, Well well that's the thing. That's what I'm
telling you. So I don't think we have to worry about.
I'm just going to AI. I'm not searching where we
have to worry about. Okay, that's twenty gallons of water
that's gone now. Uh Sga has been spotted wearing a
fox fur jacket. Specifically, it is a brown fox fur
jacket that he wore to a game in January and
(03:56):
this could be the same one. Okay, quick, brown fox.
Now I will say this, what fox is that big dude?
That'd be the biggest fox in the world. Man, No way,
that's like that'd be a bit like this would be
where like, hey, guess what we raised this fox and
and we're gonna shave off like like it's a sheep.
We're gonna shave off the hair and make a coat
and then it's gonna grow more than have the So
I think it's a fox coat. I think it is. Yeah,
(04:20):
I mean a red fox. They say it's only and
TJ clearly is red fox jumping over the lazy dog. Dummy.
He say, lamont you dummy, give me my fur coat?
J So the common red I walked right.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I started thinking about him screaming, it's right as I said,
eight to fifteen pounds, the gray fox seven to thirteen.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Like what else can we we get?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
It?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Is this like a Game of Thrones kind of animal
that he's getting?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Maybe you know what I mean, level it could be
one of those. Yeah, like we've got a.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Mutant fox that they're growing in a lab, like with
the Windwalkers hang out.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
You can't even get a price on this, you know
what it says, dude, tens of thousands of dollars? Oh yeah, no,
not not even Oh you're kidding. It's got to be.
It's got to be. I mean, hundreds thousands of dollars
that thing. Yeah, this is unbelievable. Yeah, I mean it
looks because it looks like it almost looks like he's
fighting it, Like it looks like he didn't no, no, no,
but I think like like when he's wearing it in,
(05:21):
I almost feel like it looks like he's fighting it.
It's alive and it's winning because it has him by
the throat.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, but but you can you back out on yourself? Yeah?
Do you need a stylist to help you out?
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Hey? Can?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I know? It's like in the movies where where the
bad guy has has the gun to the to the
person after they robbed the bank, and they're going, all right, everybody, oh, guys,
back away or I'll shoot back away, I'll shit, and
then like you know, Hancock comes in and says or
whatever it is, but almost looks like he's walking in.
All right, everybody back away. This thing has to me
by the throat, all right, So you know this is
like it's aliens or something. Okay. Two things. One, I
(05:57):
really want to find out.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
How how many Fox carcasses are part of this?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
For here will find out TJ what the Fox has
to say about this guy, Mike. The company is called
Canada Goose. Okay. Don't they make alcohol? That's Goose? Oh,
Greg Goose okay. But the other is, you're the guy
that saw handcock. Greg Goose is not from Canada. Hancock's
pretty good movie, was that. Charlie Stone, Yeah, Charlie Stone
(06:28):
is Jason Bateman. Charlie ste Yes, Charlie Stare and Wilson's

but that's what But I mean, like, that's the one
for you.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, exactly, walking in off the rack time, the one
that make a cowboy war.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I wonder if you walked by it and you heard
someone say, many boffins died to bring us this information.
Many bothins died to bring you this coat. What's a
boffin's I mean you want a pair of snow pants?
I mean you're looking at nine hundred buck yeah, yeah, yeah, no, No,
But but the coat is I mean, this is a
this is a coat, This is a level.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
This is a coat of coats ten tens of thousands,
Like if it was just a coat of many colors,
it would be resplendent in a whole other way. And
with the fact that that thing may actually be trying
to kill him as he wears it. It's a secret weapon.
You think I'm just SGA and I'll get you to
follow me. No, no, no, you come in and you
get an even even close not only you're getting the
fall from the referee. This thing may attack you.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
But this is one that you can't pull off every
day like in New York. Maybe, yeah, you can't like
rolling the cans with it.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
No, No, I would love.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
If you did the kind of thing that you had
Daniel Radcliffe years ago do where he had the same
look for six months so the paparazzi would leave him alone.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh yeah, he's in the same outfit. Damn it. Like
he didn't sell it's beau. He's filming a documentary right now, Mike, Yeah,
he is. He's doing The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.
It's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty Tracy Morgan's hysterical. Uh
but no, but I mean, but you see, I see this,
and I go, all right, my dog is kind of
the same color as his coat, and my dog, my dog, hangup,
(09:06):
and my dog likes to sit in my last No,
don't get any ideas.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
What.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
So what I can do is, are you gonna make
a Benny coat?
Speaker 8 (09:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
No, no, no no, because because what no, no, no, this
is Bailey. This is Bailey Bailey coat. Yeah. So what
I can do is get a picture of SGA or
dog SGA with his coat on, and then I just
get a picture of Bailey like on my chest, like
laying on me like he does, and I can do
a who wore it better? You know that's good? My
dog sleeping on my chest or SGA with his first Because.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I really thought this was taking a dark turn after
midnight on the East Coast, saying no, but Bailey, Bailey
is my shadow, right, Like, fifty two years never had
a dog, was allergic.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Now in the last three years, I have two dogs.
Now I can't get over this.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I was I was a dog wandering myself. I never
and then I picked up another friend. It's like, now
you sell like Zach Gallavanaki is I'm a one man
wolf back and now I'm but three dog wolf back. Uh,
fifty two years I was dogs, could never have one.
We found this breed multi poo and all and and
I'm not allergic.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
And how I have two dollars Jason, how about you
start with first showing the picture your dog's the picture
of Sga wearing it first, to see if they're cool.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh, oh, Bailey would bark at it.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Oh is that a friend, because you've said fans were
like people pretend like it's a real animal, but it's
a cake and they start cutting it in front of them.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
They start losing their mind. Oh, I don't know I
could do that.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Bailey feels like you get arrested in California for things
like that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You get the needle. Yeah, Ben the cake. Benny would
see it. Benny's Benny's smart. Bailey's pretty.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Bailey would see it. He would get he would get pretty, uh,
you get pretty weird enout by what's happening here. They're
cutting into that. Oh okay, Oh it's it's cake. Okay.
Benny would just go yeah, whatever, Okay. I'm telling you,
the same color, same color, better him than me. I'm
gonna go home tonight. Here's what I do. I'm gonna
go home tonight. I'm gonna be in the same pose
as as as s g A. I'm gonna put bareley
(11:00):
around my neck. Walk and you'll see it and go, oh,
it's the same thing. And then we do who wore
it better me and my dog like and his and
his fox fox fur coat A win and a fashion icon. Yeah,
that's what it is, man, A big night in New York.
I mean, that's that is that is a coat. It's
(11:21):
a coat of.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Coats, man, No, that is some next level stuff coats.
I mean he really must get cold around the.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Neck, man. I'll tell you now, we'll get to the
lou Holtz thing. But we when we saw this coat
starting to take over social media. We kind of had
to get to it.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Well, I mean that's the kind of coat after you
vanquish an opponent, you know, you take down the knicks,
and then you say, well, look when I got of here,
next level stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
We'll ask Rick Buker about this, Like Rick can pull
that coat off? Okay, we'll see, we'll see. We'll see
if he can pull it off. That's a that's a
that is it? Not everybody can pull that coat off. No,
you gotta be like m v P. Yeah, you got
you gotta be right. Like the way he's walking like
(12:05):
he doesn't even have it ZEBA that thing probably that's
probably that you know, most guys run with like weight vests,
Like he just runs with that fur coat on and
that's it. He's but he's wearing jeans and a white
T shirt and I got this fur coat basic look
nice and clean.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Fifty Oh I think again, that's only fifty.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Well, but I mean it's a special breed of fox.
The size of that fur coats easily in the six
figure Where the hell did they find that fox? That's
probably asked the question. The expedition to find that probably when? Where? Where?
Where did the wait not no, I know where they
got him. Where Where did Batman fight with roz Eye Gool?
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Yeah, it's like the mountains of Tibet.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
They found some I watched the Fox Godzilla and King
Kong and all that and fighting those weird weird ass monsters.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Maybe that Fox lives on that territory. Man exit out
about a Fresca exit swollen dome. Jason Smith Mike Harbon
Live the Fox Sports Race Studios. What do you got, Tyson?
When was the last time you ran by the way
spaking about people with weight vests running?
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh no, I usually run a tiny middle school with
my dogs every day. And by a tiny bit, I
mean maybe around the block, maybe a little bit of
a sprint. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I do,
really short block. Yeah, it's just my house in the
corner and that's it.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:29):

SGA's code SGA's code. I think it was Fox a
Fox for a coat, Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Big stuff out
(16:13):
of the NBA tonight.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
No body better than Fox Sports won NBA Insider Extraordinaire.
Check out the On the Ball podcast new book out
as well. He is joining us tonight wearing the same
exact coat SGA war to Madison Square Garden tonight for
the next game. Rick, you must be pretty warm if
(16:35):
you're wearing that coat indoors.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Well, actually, actually it's not the exact same one. I
had the sleeves taken off so that I can show
off my guns at the same time.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
That would really be a Game of Thrones type for
coat Rick wearing with the guns.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Yeah, sure, that's absolutely absolutely. It was kind of a
as I see it. It was it's kind of a
cross between like a furry Pez machine and uh and
and pac man, is what I was thinking.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Okay, I wasn't sure that it might not still be
alive and it was keeping him hostage like that could
be a two.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
Well, what I really want to know is there's a
there's a.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Metal plate in the front. What what is that about?
That's that's what took me to the Pez dispenser. But
I I have a lot of questions, and this is this,
This is my one rule. This is my one rule
in terms of what I wear. I don't want people
looking at it and asking questions. That's what I I
don't want. I don't want people going hmmm, what is
(17:40):
that where did it come from? Why is he wearing it?
I don't want any I don't want.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
Any of that, And this raises a lot of questions.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
This is also I think Robin Williams has a thing
where you know, if you if you're if you develop
a cocaine problem, that's God's way of telling you you're
making too much money. I would say the same applies
with this code that probably cost a pretty penny. Yeah,
and I'm.
Speaker 8 (18:05):
Thinking, you know what this is, this is a sure sign.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
As much as I believe that that NBA players are
worth every dime, this might be a proof that we
just we need to put we need to put that
money in different places.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Well, Rick, a lot of a lot of star athletes
will tell you, hey, if you look good, you play good.
And he looked good going in here.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
No, no, no, I was gonna say, in spite of
that coat he.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Played, it's fair.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I want to know where they hunted that fox. That's
the bigger thing, all right. But Mike Brown postgame complaining
about s g A. He's a tough cover, great job
convincing the referees, probably better than anybody in the league
that he's getting hit. So sour and graves once again
as the thunder escaped with a close win.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Here, I'm not big on those sour grapes and watching
that game.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
St.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
St A got to the cup so easily, and that
was the thing that struck me. If Jalen Brunson did
some work. But when Jalen Brunson, the effort there is
just palpable. He has to work so hard to get
to his spots and to get any sort of paint penetration,
(19:15):
and SGA just gets there so easily and is so fluid,
and obviously at six' six has a size. Advantage but
anybody who's trying to present the idea that he's a
free throw merchant and that the only secret to his
success is the fact that he gets a, Whistle, look,
(19:38):
that in my mind is a. Skill if you want
to take issue with the calls THAT sga is, getting
don't take issue WITH. Sga you gotta take issue with
the referees like he's he is exploiting the system in
getting to the free throw. Line and by the, way
(19:58):
he is not the biggest. CULPRIT i, mean why do
we not have the same conversation About Luka, dancic who
LAST i, checked averages far more free throw attempts THAN sga,
does or at least is ahead of him in free throw,
attempts and does not have and does not play the
game at both ends of the. Floor AND i would
(20:20):
dare say doesn't do as much AS sga does If
i'm not. Mistaken he had eight or nine assists tonight as.
Well AND i JUST i take great issue with the idea,
that you know WHAT sga it's all about the whistle
that he gets from the. REFEREES i think he is, far,
far far more talented than.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That now you got to the next Topic. Rick obviously
the situation With luca and The lakers AND Jj. Reddick
they won three in a. Row maybe it's a new
beginning FOR. La but obviously the back and forth on
the bench the other night With reddick And. Luca they
both want to downplay. It is this just a case, of,
hey this happens over eighty two, games or do you
(21:02):
see something there With luca And? Reddick and there could
be a, Thing, well.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
It does happen over eighty two. Games but you're talking
about a dispute between and a very visible one between
your superstar player and your head coach and take me
back to the last time we saw in exchange like
that Between Steph curry And Steve kerr Or sta And
(21:29):
mark dagnol OR i, mean we can go down the.
Line let's, go let's Go Jalen brunston And Mike brown like.
Sore there is something, there and it'll be interesting how
they navigate, this Because i'm of the mind that if
it was as has been, suggested it was an issue
(21:51):
Regarding luca complaining about the calls with the referees and
not giving enough ef for on, defense those are legitimate
things to call him out, on and if he's not
going to respond to, it then that's trouble for The
lakers going forward because they can go out and they you,
(22:13):
know they're Not they're not the team they need to
be right, now or they don't have the talent Around
luca that they. Need dallas proved that you can get
enough talent to get to the, finals BUT i don't
know that you win it Unless luca takes defense more,
seriously and unless he takes the opportunity not to get
back on defense by by complaining about. Calls that has to.
(22:36):
Change Before i'm going to say That luca will win
a championship before his career is.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Over, Hey, eric league, wide we hit the over. Today
we actually have three games decided by ten or points are.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Fewer, well at this, point it's all about matchups because
it's the it's the haves and the we're waiting for
the draft so we can join the. Haves is how
this league is, divided and so you're going to have.
THAT i, MEAN i think Honestly Adam silver cracking down
On utah And indiana because excuse, me they played it
(23:15):
close for three quarters and they were, like, well we
got we were entertaining for three, quarters but we got
to make sure we don't win this. Game now they're, like,
oh you're going to find us if we play it
close for three. Quarters, fine we'll let this game get
out of hand in the first. Half we're just we'll
give ourselves no opportunity to win this, game and then
maybe we'll avoid the. Fine because at this, point there's
(23:39):
nothing that can.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Be done to stop the.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Blatant tanking and the number of teams that are looking
for a piece of the. Talent it's going to be
in this. DRAFT i think we've talked about it. Before
this is a very special, draft and there are a
number of teams that are looking at it and saying
it's far it's far more worth our while to get
An Aj debonsa or and you can go down the
(24:05):
Line Kingston. FLEMINGS i, mean there's there's there are eight
or nine guys that are very very, coveted AND i
can't even tell you who the best one out of
them is ultimately going to. BE i Think debonsa has
the most. POTENTIAL a lot of questions About Darren, peterson
but and people are big On, boozer BUT i would
(24:25):
say like it could be one of the one of
the guys Down, wagler one of the guys that are
that's a little farther down the. List we've seen that happen.
Before but those are a unique, draft and so you
have teams that are like first round of the playoffs
in this, instance making the play in or the first
round of the playoffs and then losing is not worth
getting one of the talents at the top of this.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Draft.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah the thing outside of, This, ricky you, know we've
obviously had the conversation about tanking and where we are going,
forward AND i love your idea of you, know monetary
penalties depending where you're. At but you, know one thing
we talked about the other night is that you look
at THE nba and this is WHERE i. Go tanking
would just make everything. Worse it's already a night where
when you have eight to ten, games eight or nine
(25:11):
of those games are decided by fifteen. Points. Right we're
at the point now where for twenty five thirty, games
the vast majority of games every night aren't. Close AND
i don't know how long THE nba can keep doing
this on television and people go into the arenas, where,
hey if this game is just going to be a
twenty five point, blowout DO i need to watch? It
DO i need to?
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Go?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Like how long can THE nba still survive?
Speaker 6 (25:33):
This? YEAH i, mean, look this is all a byproduct
of the proliferation of three point, shots AND i would
say the and it feels like at times they're getting
back to allowing the game to be more. Physical but
if you want, it if you want to make it
more difficult to score every time, down you have to
(25:57):
allow some physicality back in the game because it means
fewer free. Throws, Uh AND i dare say it's it's
gonna mean, uh fewer three pointers. Taken you're gonna have
to work to get. Shots it's going to it will
slow the pace. Down and if the pace slows, down
then these wide swings because it's it's not just like
(26:19):
a lot of points being. Scored we have these huge
swings of, momentum and and teams always, think, well we
can we can get back in it if we just
hit a couple of. Threes, well, okay if you hit, them,
yes but if you miss, them now that's a long.
Rebound now it's gonna now it leads to a, runout
which is only going to increase the. Lead so to,
(26:40):
me there there is a. Cure but the league has
to to let go of the idea that we're afraid
that you, know that we might have a scuffle or.
WHATEVER i don't mind guys like scrumming it up a little.
BIT i think THERE'S i think, actually, uh fans and
and all of us should appreciate when it looks like
(27:01):
guys care care enough that they're gonna nobody's gonna punch.
Anybody it's just you, know they're gonna square off and
they're gonna say some stuff and but and then we
keep it. Moving BUT i think that that's really what
has to, happen AND i agree with. You it's IT'S
i have to make and this is. ME i have
To there are times WHERE i have to make myself
(27:22):
watch not that not where, MAN i can't wait to.
Watch it's, like this is my. Job i'm gonna. Watch
there's certain THINGS i want to, see but the actual,
uh suspense and entertainment of the game in and of,
itself a lot of that is. Missing tonight was an
exception with with okay seeing In New. York that was
a fun game to. Watch it was largely competitive and close. Throughout.
(27:48):
Uh it just that shouldn't be the. Exception that should
be closer to the.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Rule, now one of the games while will blowout that
that has my interest peak the current run that is
The Charlotte hornets can it is now the favorite to
Win rookie of The. Year but they've been playing some
pretty good basketball rising up in The east There, Rick.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Yeah, no, no, no it has. Been it has been.
Surprising you, know.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
Kudos To Charles, lee who's who's.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Put this thing. Together but, yeah they have some young
guys that have uh they they're playing with a certain
seriousness that we did not see With LaMelo. BALL i
think THEY'VE i think the majority in the locker room
has sort of taken over and and and maybe he's
not having the same influence that he. HAD i do
take exception With cnipple being the idea that he's going
(28:37):
to Be rookie of The. Year the role that he
has to play For charlotte is, immensely immensely different than
the one That Cooper flagg has to. Play Cooper flagg
has to do everything on the scouting. Report Cooper flagg
is the number one concern of every. Opponent that is
(28:57):
not the case with Con.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Niple AND i love his.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
GAME i love what he's. DONE i think he's A
i think he's a VERY i don't think this is
just a flash in the. PAN i think he's a
very good. Player but if we are going to compare
what the two are responsible for when it comes to their,
teams IT'S i JUST i don't the numbers With kimple
(29:20):
comes in a different. Fashion the attention That cooper gets
is far, greater and yet the numbers are. Comparable for,
Me cooper flag Is rookie of The. Year he's Already
rookie of The. Year it would be really hard for
him to lose it on my.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Ballance he's On twitter At Rick, Buker that is At Rick.

Smith back to, you, guys thank you very. Much coming up,

Football we remember the life Of Lou holtz and one
of the most famous college football games of all.
Speaker 9 (34:34):
Time, Oh I'm, Superman She's Lois. Lane Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Radio The Jason Smith show with my best Friend Mike.
Harmon now we spent some time tonight talking About Lou
holt's legendary head, coach who passed away today at the
age of eighty. Nine we have some big stuff on
him next. Hour but something that we had THE sga
For coat we had to talk about a few minutes,
ago but his time At Notre dame bringing them back
(35:12):
to prominence when they had just fallen off the. Map
won the national championship in nineteen eighty eight by Beating West.
Virginia could have should have won another national championship the next.
Time they got back a year and a half later
when they lost To colorado ten to, Nine colorado's only national,
championship and it's one of the most famous games in
(35:34):
college football history because of the touchdown that wasn't With
colorado leading ten to nine late in the fourth quarter
with a minute left to, Go colorado's punting To Notre. Dame,
Now Notre dame's return man is Rocket, ismail who was
going to be the number one pick in the draft that,
year but he went to The, sea you, know Decided
i'm going to THE. Cfl i'm gonna make more. Money
(35:56):
he was the most dangerous player in college. Football AND
i still remember the announcer, saying, well if you're, punting
if You're Tom, ruin who punted THE nfl for a long,
time you're gonna punt out of. Bounds you're not gonna
punt a rocket. Ismail Except colorado head Coach bill. McCartney
his punt team was kind of his uh, Hubris, no
we're gonna punt a rocket. Ismail and this is what.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
Happened i'm Sure brown will kick out a bound the
punt out of.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Bounds he has to.
Speaker 11 (36:25):
First priority is to get the kick. Away The irish
will seven ten men And i'll be back. Off well
done the rocket at the ten and he's corral from
up And blake sending a player what not to.
Speaker 8 (36:43):
Do my rocket is.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Mail it's done it. Again Touchdown Notre. DAME i see a, Flag,
DICK i see a. Flag the flag for.
Speaker 11 (36:53):
Gad there is a plaid down at The Notre dame thirty,
Seven so hold.
Speaker 9 (36:58):
On.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
I'm Notre.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
Dame Penalty noah, five the, touchdown seconds light, up, aboves defense.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Secured colorado Spurts nashville. Champion Dick enberg on the call
a clipping, penalty the most famous clipping penalty of all.
Time instead of A Notre dame, touchdown it called it
gets called. Back Rick meer could not Lead Notre dame
down the. Field he throws a pick with a few seconds.
Left colorado wins the national, Title Notre dame. Loses and
(37:28):
the veracity of that penalty and was that a penalty
as one of the most debated topics in all of
college football in the history of the, game because it
was a very kind of. Call you can watch the
replay and, Again i'm sure people watch it all day
today because it would have been the second national. Title
(37:50):
you can see that and seeing this now for fresh
eyes BECAUSE i haven't seen the play in a, while
but obviously After Lou holtz, TODAY i watched it a few.
Times you can see the official pro probably wasn't gonna
throw the flag Until rocket broke into the open. Field
this is one of those if there's no, Advantage i'm
not gonna throw. It because the Player Tim james got
(38:11):
his hands On rocket and the player for the for
the For Notre dame kind of blocked him from. Behind
god his helmet around a little, bit but still blocked
him from the, side sorder from, behind And james gets
his hands on rocket is mail but can't tackle. Him,
still despite, that the flag is not thrown because this
happens around the thirty yard. Line the flag is not
(38:33):
thrown Until rocket gets to. Midfield you could see the
official just whip out the flag and throw, it so
you can tell he didn't want to throw. It but
and if they Tackle, Rocket i'm not gonna throw the,
flag but this is gonna potentially give them a. TOUCHDOWN
i gotta throw the flag because it was clipping AND
i look at the play and even after all these,
years it's it's you, know you're looking for a big
(38:55):
hot take on. THIS i understand why they threw the.
FLAG i don't know That james would have got. Him
he might, have but being in that situation where the
block was sort of right in front of the, referees
it was right next To, Rocket, LIKE i don't know
if it gets thrown if it's five yards, away but
it's right. There it's right when he has a chance
to tackle. HIM i get why they threw. IT i
(39:16):
understand why they threw. It at the, TIME i remember,
going oh, yeah no today and you lost you steak,
ah but you, know looking at it and being and
being legitimate on. IT i see why they threw the.
FLAG i could also see them putting it in their
pocket and not throwing, it but they threw. IT i
don't have a problem with the. Flag, no that's.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
It it's it's enough to where he gets that little
extra bit of daylight that he takes it to the.
House watching a clip With Rocket ishmael talking about it
and it echoed What edinburgh had and they're talking about
on the call of all, right either it's a coffin
corner and For ishmael he goes big leg. Guy, yes
(39:53):
he went on to a BIG nfl. Career, yep he knew,
this this was. IT i thought he was gonna boom
it out the back of the end zone and then
he get gets in the.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
AIR i couldn't BELIEVE i had a chance to even field.
It and where he. Does it's the. Ten, yeah this.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Isn't a hey he's backpedaling to the five or. WHATEVER
i was, Like, no it's the ball is from the forty.
Eight so add the distance for the. KICK i mean
it's a terrible punt by.
Speaker 6 (40:18):
Room.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeah oh on the grand scale right for the year
that he had had and the accolades and the pro
career he went on. TO i, mean he went on
to like nine TEN nfl, teams highly. Decorated the fact
that Isabel i had an opportunity to return it at
all was a big deal and they called the middle
return and he gets just enough of him to create that.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Space SO i understand the. FLAG i, MEAN i, mean it,
sucks BUT i get it because it was kind of a.
Clip and again it's bad, timing it's bad place on the.
FIELD i don't know if he would have got, him
that would have been. Two NOW i wonder how, much
like you, know, guys think ABOUT i bought that one,
play we would have another.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Night so it becomes a much different you, know where
Lou holtz is regarded in the annals of history as.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Well we got more Lou holtz coming up next as
well As Aaron rodgers speaks is he playing this? YEAR
i can tell You chasing And Mike fox
