Hello, Welcome in side final hour tonight to Jason.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Smith Show with my bas friend Mike Harmon.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Then wings are hot?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Uh yeah, we have a Buffalo Wild Wings update before
you get back into the NCAA tournament. So earlier last
hour on the show, Ty Shirt and Frostburg ordered wings
from Buffalo Wild Wings and they got the hottest wings
I think I've had in maybe twenty years. Ty Shirt's
found that what the the heat index is like three

(00:58):
hundred and fifty thousand on these wings.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
So a deeper dive Jason has shown me that that
is not true. Okay, because one of the peppers in there,
the scorpion one, is at a range of one point
two million. I really hate you the scorpion pepper. So
we're sitting at anywhere about two mil to hire.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
So wait a minute, so like like that is like
my life in danger?

Speaker 6 (01:18):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Like what like how bad is that? How's your heart feeling?
I feel fun.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
Doesn't say sweaty palms? No, not sweaty palms hits, no
slurring of.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Words as far as you know. No, are your knees weak?
Arms are heavy? Is there vomit on your sweater already?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'm Tracy Morgan. Uh No, I had a little bit
of I was a little sweaty at the temples. Okay,
temple's a little sweaty when I had the wings. But
then when I had the second one a few minutes ago,
it was I I maybe because I was ready for
it. It was not nearly as hot as the one I
had last so long? Oh no, I did it well?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
It actually didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
I had no, I had the same experience, but it
was just the wave that it hit my body with
just wasn't nearly what the first one was.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
It does also say side effects are liking bad sports teams.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Okay, that's gonna happen. Okay.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
Also says here let me see, uh, Mets might not
win a game this season.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Side effects may include So what pure kept sasan is
the hottest on the Scoville scale, followed by pepper spray,
followed by the Carolina Reaper.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Wo wow, So what we had was just below eating
pepper spray, followed by the scorpion.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Those are the third and fourth on the depth chart.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I would feel like the scorpion pep, Wow, you're still struggling.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
I could tell you're talking. Yeah, No, you have a
little bit of no going on there.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
No, I don't know if you are. And then the
ghost Pepper was fifth. Ghost Pepper was like, it's the
Ghosteper the hottest.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Ever.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Now it's like, now we got barely it's not even
on the metal stage. You got hotter peppers in that
there's hotter peppers. Don't worry about that.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
So now I okay, I'm.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Never gonna forget that.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
And that's the whole thing about getting hot peppers or
eating something hot like this is like, yeah, you don't
eat a whole lot of it, but you never forget.
It's a great diet right here. Just get the hottest,
the hottest wings you possibly can. You're only gonna have
like half a one and go, yeah, I can't eat anymore.
But look at that, you have like eight.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Calories of a well, I mean, you gotta worry about
the back end.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Well, I know you eventually you're gonna get dizzy and
pass out because you have no food. But I mean, boy,
think about the way you're gonna lose. I'm not and
I am not not not promoting this. This is just
just for entertainment. Entertainment purpose is entertainment purpose all you're
also talking about. I mean, it's it's not just the
not eating part that's a problem. Eventually the human body does.

(03:40):
It's it's digestive. Yeah, it does. It's it doesn't worth
it does?

Speaker 4 (03:44):
It's where whereby the peppers could become problematic?

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:49):
You know, No, I I definitely I've had that experience
many times. Oh boy, wait a minute, Wait a minute,
wait a minute, wait a minute. Should not have eaten that?

Speaker 5 (03:55):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:56):
I know it now, I know it. Now I knew
then I shouldn't have eaten it.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
That's the adult version of At like one thirty, you're like, yeah,
I'll have one more beer. Yeah, you know, more, one more,
one more shot, And you're like, oh, why did I
do that?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Man? The next day comes to wag why did I
do that. What did I have?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Because it was fun. It wasn't the forty four that
I had before. It was Well, it's.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Always the last run of the day when someone has
a ski injury.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, that is true. It was gonna be the last
it was. It was the last run of the day.
Obviously you're in the hospital with a broken leg. It
was ten to fifteen in the morning. Yeah, it was
my last last run.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Gotten up barely now speaking of having trouble going to
the bathroom all of this. We have a great update
from Tracy Morgan. Oh good, right now.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Last night we were wondering what was going to happen
to Tracy Morgan, Knicks fan who was escorted from MSG
during their big lobsided win over the Heat because he
got sick vomited on the floor. Yeah, watching the Knicks
beat the Heat. It was bad basketball by he Tyler

(05:00):
Hero missed four shots in a row. He was very
upset about He'm.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
So damn hot.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
He threw up on the floor. His nose was bleeding.
They took him out in a wheelchair. Was whoa, what
is Tracy Morgan? Okay, Like, well, I don't Is he
gonna be all right? And there were no updates all night,
which is a weird thing. It's like, wow, how is
there no update? How is there no update on Tracy Morgan?
Like all Mike was not He's okay, he's in the hospital,
he's here. No update, Like this is a pretty big deal, right,

(05:24):
And then we find out today Tracy Morgan's okay. Posted
a video from the hospital and he says food poisoning
caused him to get sick. He has a big video
of a picture of him smiling. He says, maybe he's
a good luck charm for the Knicks now because he
was there. Maybe I gotta throw up at every game
and Tracy Morgan's gonna be okay now, first of all, absolutely,
if the Knicks are gonna win by twenty like this

(05:46):
without Jalen Brunson, he's got to show up and throw
up at every game, and it's got to be televised.
We have to see it before every game. Here, come on, Tracy,
come on the next digit. There we go, There we go.
Knicks are gonna win tonight. It's only for the rest
I mean, it's only for the rest of this season
in the playoffs. It's all he's got to do with
the rest of his life, but the rest of the season.
In the playoffs, you go to the game, throw up.
It's on camera, we see it, and and.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
We go on with Wwe once had a guy that
was teamed with the Legion and Doom that they named
Puke okay, where he puked on command, on command. So
I guess that's what Tracy Morgan's bit's gotta be going forward.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Uh, on command? Like Tracy?

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Now, well, I mean, look, you don't want to interrupt games.
And will this cause do one to buy a mop?

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yes, because we did see the locker room attendant for
the Knicks last night telling Scott Foster, the official, we
don't have a mop.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
What do you mean to have a mop? It's Madison
Square Garden. Yeah, we don't have a mop.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
By the way, did Tracy Morgan out the people that
you know the food he consumed here?

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Mike, it was the next play Would would you just
stop because here's where press conference you want to hear
it again? This is what we don't we don't need
to hear his press conference.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Uh, this is where you should be shaking in your
boots because here's Tracy Morgan throws up in the next
game the Knicks win by twenty, he.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Says, I'm the good luck Chy. I need to throw
up at every game. He is the Knicks Grimace. Officially,
in one night, he has become the Knicks Grimace. Can
I buy a Tracy Morgan mass And in winning teams,
you know you think y'all laugh about this, but winning
teams generally have some kind of fun thing that bans

(07:24):
the team, binds the team together. Hey, the Mets had
OMG and Grimace. We saw teams have this. Okay, great,
Now Tracy Morgan is the Knicks Grimace. I can get
it for six bucks. Tracy Morgan man unit. He's the
Knicks Grimace. He is now gonna not watch the Knicks takeoff.
I always said, hey, look, teams like the Knicks and

(07:46):
the Lakers and the Nuggets, they're the second tier of contenders,
because the Cavaliers and the Celtics and the Thunder are
both just levels ahead of all of those teams. But
now forget, We're gonna run to the Eastern Conference finals
at least and beyond because we have Grimace. We have
our Grimace. Now, Grimm's through out the first picture of
the Mets. All we started winning all of a sudden,
it was grim Grimace is on the seven line.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Grim is as at City Field.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Grimace has a seat and people are going to visit
the seat before the games and take pictures of the
Grimace seat that is empty, like they're going to Stonehenge.
And this is what the Mets had. Now the Knicks
have their version of Grimace. Tracy Morgan is their Grimace.
He can dress up in a big purple soup. You
just see Tracy Morgan's face, smile. He's at every Knicks game.
They have their Grimace.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
We're gonna roll.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Doesn't matter bruntson, no Brunson, it's irrelevant. We're gonna win
because we have our Grimace. Now the Mets had Grimace.
Now we have trade nine. Knicks have Tracy Morgan.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
We're going and I already found the cutout, so you
got it all.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, it's exciting, man, it's all coming together.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
This is gonna keep that.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
He's gonna visit, He's gonna visit the locker room before games.
He's the nay give him any minutes. The Knicks are
gonna ask him to give him any minutes off the bench.
You don't need that, but you're gonna need You're gonna
need a guy like Tims to say, hey, Brunson, how's
your ankle?

Speaker 3 (08:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
I kind of rolled it, you know. Tracy Morgan threw
up on the sideline for us. He's a big star, television,
movie star, and he really embarrassed himself, but he didn't care,
and he posted a video in the hospital of him saying, yeah,
he was food poisoning. Would you do that, Brunson, huh?
Or would you just make free throws and then walk
off the court?

Speaker 3 (09:17):
You know?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
You suck it up, Brunson, go make some shots and
do be for this team what Tracy Morgan is. And
suddenly Jaylen Brunson's like, man, I gotta go do some stuff.
And here's a couple of threes later and something. We're
feeling really good and the Knicks are beating the Celtics
by twenty in Game four, on our way.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
To a sleep or is this an issue?

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Whereby in the fourth quarter he hasn't thrown up yet,
it's a tight game. You're starting to see guys pulling
on their shorts. They're getting tired. Why because he's only
playing five, he's only playing My team's on the court,
and then Tims looks at Tracy Morgan as he calls
the time out and he taps the arm like he's
a reliever nut and then you get a drum roll

(09:53):
some kind of music like he's a WWE superstar, and
then he throws up you know, I see now I
like it, And now you're ready to go because you've
gotten They've gotten the rest they needed.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
I got extended time out because they didn't have a
mop right away. I got something better. I got some better, okay,
some better, Okay.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Remember when Paul Behrer would come in and and the
spot we found he would have the ashes of the
wrestlers and.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Everybody oo and everybody would go crazy hear.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
The bong bong. Tracy Morgan comes in before the game,
spotlight on him holding up a waste basket and everybody's
cheering one.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
And he's holding it up, but he holds it up
and he holds.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Up and then after a few seconds, right in the
waste basket, everybody cheers and goes nuts.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
That that's better, that's better, that's more thing. Let's keep
we gotta have it. He's gotta be full on feet
and then he dumps the basket over the opposing coach's head,
and by then it's turned to glitter like it's an
old globe Trotter's.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Joe Mazzulla better watch out. He's looking at some last
minute of chustments. Oh no ah, that.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Green sweater is now green and he hell, he's gonna
have to change time out.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Celtics, they want to talk it over. Just think about
how great that would be. It's really taking next level. Yeah,
because the poor guy got some food poison. Hey spin
a story, but you gotta well, you gotta spin it.
I mean there's spinning and then there's this.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, but you gotta turn into a possem literally raffed
on the court watching your team play. Yeah, Grimace to
a first pitch. It didn't even make it to the plate.
Doesn't matter. Grimace was the guy. He's our guy. Whenever
something happens, and you will look like.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Crash, horrible product.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
One's a really bad product. Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
One thing is not a product. It's just something that happens. Okay,
Now the product is the team I was talking about.
Oh oh, okay, okay, you know you know, you know.
I'm sorry you don't have your thing. I'm sorry you
don't have a thing.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
The closest thing the Lakers have is is Bronnie gonna
play tonight?

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Like Bronnie gets in the game. That's the biggest problem.
Is Bronnie going to play? Is Bronny gonna play? Almost
threw up thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
But this this is something a Tracy Morgan is the
Nick's grimace.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Watch us roll now we might not lose again the rest.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
I've already put the call out on Twitter at Swollen
Dome of course, and Fox Sports Radio. Uh that we uh,
we need to make this happen all across New York,
New Jersey and wherever they travel. Tracy Morgan masks did
become a thing.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
And and oh when fans even do like their own
fake throw up like they have like uh, like one
like in in in What's that Big snl skit the
Jay Morris when everybody's throwing up and they had like
the the the the the tubes that were that were
stuck to their hands and it looked like they were
throwing up. Like fans will have that going on wearing
the Tracy Morgan mask for fake throwing up in the

(12:51):
stands like it's a thing. Now, think about what a
home court advantage that would be. People wouldn't even want
to they'd be afraid fans would be throwing up on
them on the court.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Well, you start selling ponchos now with the Knicks logo
that you're making a lot of money because it's like
going to a Calliger Con concert and performance where he's
gonna smash the watermelon.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
It said, what he doesn't there's a there's a uh,
there's a big head that it's it's shaped like Tracy
Morgan's head and he bashes the head. That's really it's
really some kind of a fruit that looks like Tracy
Morgan's head.

of it.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
All five second Dance Party, Here come the Drums. Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Stop. Tracy Morgan is our Grimace. He's the Nicks Grimace.
I just I just need uh. Let's see. The Mets
have good. The Jets need something, all right? The Mets
had great? What do we get for the Jets? Though?

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Tracy Morgan is the is the Jets Grimace, is the
Knicks Grimace? Now the Jets just I don't know, because
you really can't say you won this offseason. Normally you
get a victory parade of winning and that's okay because
we win the off season and we are crappy during
the regular show. So maybe this is a reversal.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
We did okay in the felt, we did okay. This offseason,
we did okay.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
We brought in the one quarterback that we had to
bring in, so we got him because we're gonna bring
Sam Darnold back and we would it be kind of
cool if you did, though, had let.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Aaron Rodgers go. So it's not like, but we got
the guy. We got the young guy that got the guy.
I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
I'm excited because you know, here's the thing is that
I think about what the pressure was like the last
two years and us being front burner every day, the
Jets being front burner because of Aaron Rodgers. Everything went on,
and I'm kind of okay with all right. Now, he
brought us recognizability, so that you know, he raised the
the profile of the Jets and raised the Q raiding.
But now I'm going into a season with zero expectations,

(17:05):
so I can feel like it's gonna be more fun
because if we suck, at least I'm okay knowing that
it's probably going to happen. Where is the last couple
of years, I was like, no, we're gonna we got
this loaded roster man, and we sucked, so it was
kind of tough. Now, if we suck, it's not something
I can say, well, I didn't see that coming, So
I feel all right with it.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
No, I get that.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
I mean, obviously, look, your Q raiding is just whether
we know you, whether we like you or not. We
get debate, but you know, we're we're just getting into
the recognizing what you are.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
I mean, there was no hiding. Guys have sucked. Man,
it was you and the Lions, and then they got good. Yeah,
then the Lions got good. Then everybody jumped on the
bandwagon last year. I mean, you're that's a nice looking
Jets show today. Oh yeah, this new hoodie.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yeah, the the Jets, the Browns, the Lions and the Raiders.
We're all fighting to be Hey, you.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Are the most embarrassing franchise in the NFL. Jets and
Raiders and Browns have stayed there the lot. He said,
I'm getting out, all right, I'm getting Out's gonna take
a little bit. We got to bite some met caps
and then all kinds of we gotta know.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
What grit means.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Bob, Lions got out always one or two turns to
get right back into the the muck, and the Meyer
Lions got out.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
They you to take that cheese. Yeah, well I just
got just got this. Man, just got this jets hoody.
Fair question. How much did they pay you to take?
They did not, But I I did not spend a
lot of money on it. Tell you that much. I
can tell you that much. Yeah, it's okay.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
It looks good man. And this is me typically wearing
green the day after Saint Patrick's Day. But that's all
right because I've ad three free, buy one, get three free.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
You know.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
I learned all about this weekend though. The Borg, the Borg,
bjorn Borg b o rg Yeah, be orn Borg.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
He is a great tennis player in the second Fantastic
returns Borg.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Part of a collective on Star Trek, the new next generation.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Oh Borg.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yeah so now this side show, Bob.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
But the Boorg is evidently now you don't just bring
something to a party. Can you bring your own alcohol
you're gonna consume in like a milk jug, you're a
water bottle that you've refilled, so like you create your
own concox. Shall I bring my own drinks to a part?
Do I leave with it at the end or do
I leave it? Th No, it's done like only you
consume it, nobody shares it. It's like this is your

(19:26):
personal consumer but looks like bring it. If I bring
a twelve pack to a party and people only drink
four of them, yeah, but those are the only other
eight home? Or do I leave them there? But that's
the point, is like they're normally you Yes, you should
leave them there. It's like a house whatever host hostess gift.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
See, because I host this gift because I'm always I
always subscribe to that because I always bring stuff. I'm like,
I don't want it to come back, so I'm gonna
bring it and then I'm gonna leave it here and
it doesn't come back to the house.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
But in this case, it's when we were up on
the campus.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
So say, for those unawares, took my daughter on a
little college uh scouting trip and as we're driving around campus,
everybody's carrying and you know, gallant jugs green liquid. Start
asking that and they've got stuff written on them, right,
And what was what was funny was somewhere in Boston
someone it wrote min his christops bores borzingis and but

(20:21):
if you're wandering around campuses, they were getting confiscated by the.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yeah, because I least.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Here's the thing is, like, I don't think the majority
of America is open carry, especially for underage people. Oh
but I got but it's my own alcohol. Yeah, but
you're still not legal, doesn't matter, but it's my own
I'm bringing with it.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
So technically it's an open container because well, you broke
the seal to create your or but all of that
to say, like they had writing down the side and
like packs of men and women walking around, I'm like, wow,
this is this is different for me. So evidently it's
a huge TikTok thing that I was now Oh because no,
TikTok treads are bad. No, that's a good idea. Everything

(20:59):
on TikTok. I'm not advising people to do, and I'm
just saying it was something I learned.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
About this week.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
I'm just picture you on TikTok trying to what can
I find that I can sound cool. When I talked
to a bunch of.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Eighteen years I thought you went in Pennsylvania, not Southie. Yeah,
I know, I was in Pittsburgh. They were doing it there.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Oh you know you got I have the alcohol in
here because they're going to have it because if we
get Aaron Rodgers, I'm gonna want to chug all of it. Yeah,
it's not We're not going to be happy here, not
going to be so.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
Evidently, the the boorgs were over consumed at a party
on the pit campus because people are on the roof
and part of the roof collapsed. Wows everybody, Okay, some
small injuries, Okay, wow, Yeah, the story got dark really fast. Wow. Okay,
that was a good, you know, celebratory kind of thing.
Everybody just bopping out to some music and then boom uh.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Jason spent Mike Harmon live from the tire rack dot
Com studios. Now with the biggest developments of the last
twenty four hours. I'll tell you one team that can
get absolutely screwed and not get a quiet. And this
is a team that absolutely to get a quarterback. There
are five teams in the NFL right now that need quarterbacks.
Jets not Cleveland is one of them.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Jets. The Jets we have twenty twenty five MVP justin fields.
We're fine.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Uh, The Titans, Giants, the Vikings, well, the Vikings don't
need one, but they're in it so it's not Vikings
but they don't know yet. And the Giants and the Steelers,
right those are your teams that need quarterbacks. Okay, now
what do we found out in the last twenty four hours. Well,
when it comes to Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson, the

(22:34):
Steelers are waiting allegedly for Aaron Rodgers to make his decision,
which I think is a load of crap, because if
Aaron Rodgers has a contract offer from the Steelers and
they want them there, why is he not saying, yes,
it's the best team you could possibly go to. Every
other team stinks. Why are you not gonna go to
the Steelers? They are ready made to be a playoff team.
If you're still Aaron Rodgers, you got two great receivers

(22:57):
to throw to. You got a Jalen Warren's a really
good running back, that defense is really good. You got
a good young titand in Pat Fryermuth like, you have
everything you need, why would you not be going there?

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Right?

Speaker 1 (23:05):
So I call a little bit of Shenanigans with that.
But Rogers potentially wants to go to the Vikings. We've
heard this from a few different people. Now, why he
would want to go I have no idea. Why do
you want to go to a team where they want
to go to the rookie JJ McCarthy coming off the injury,
I don't know why i'd want to go.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
To You're just gonna get replaced a few games in
that well, But it makes no sense. But if you
play well, that roster is top to bottom better than Pittsburgh's.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
But they but they booted, they booted, Hey, they booted
like Tracy Morgan, they booted Sam Darnold out. Oh no,
we love JJ McCarthy. Oh, but we're gonna go get
you like. It doesn't make sense why he would want
to go there and why they would want him, Which
makes me believe if this happens, I'm gonna laugh at
Vikings fans for the rest of my life. I'm gonna
laugh like like de Niro and Katee Fear in the
movie Theater. That's how much, Boss, Scott Shapiro. Oh no,

(23:53):
no him, I never laugh at, never laughed. I will
comfort him and hold his hand and tell him everything's
gonna be okay. But every other Vikings fan that hates
me over the couch. You predict the Great Bears. Oh yeah, yeah,
Well look, hey, the Bears. I'm telling you Caleb Williams
breakout this year. But the ight it doesn't make sense
why he'd want to go there and why the Vikings
have won it. But that's irrelevant because let's say Rogers
ends up with the Vikings. Well, then the Steelers are

(24:15):
going to bring back Russell Wilson, and Wilson will go
back because the choice of I could go back to
a good team and just position it that, hey, I
went out to see what I could get. The Steelers
wanted to see he would come back as the starting quarterback.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Right, He's not.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
He's not going to go to the Giants if he
has a choice between the Giants and the Steelers, because
the Giants are terrible and they stink. So okay, so
Russell Wilson goes to the Steelers. All right, now we're
getting ready for the draft, right, ready for the draft.
Last twenty four hours, there's been a big push that
the quarterbacks are again gonna go one two, that the
Titans really looking for a quarterback. They're locked in with
cam Ward and if not, he's to the Browns at

(24:50):
number two. But there's been a lot of Chadur Sanders
to the Browns at two chatter the last twenty four hours.
The Browns absolutely need a quarterback. We know they're going
to take one. The big thing, honestly, is going to
to be what does Tennessee do? But seeing that, okay,
we can play the game a little bit with Abdua
Carter and Travis Hunter, but we need a quarterback. When
are we gonna pick number one overall?

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Again? This is where we get the guy.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
So now, if this is how it goes, and cam
Ward goes number one and Shadora Sanders goes number two
or vice versa, let's it but good one two? Guess
who's stuck with nobody? And they're sitting there hoping that
arch Manning wants to follow in his uncle's footsteps. If
the Giants tank enough this year that they can draft
arch Manning if he wants to come out, and he'll

(25:33):
be okay, going to the Giants where he could every
day can be hey.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Uncle Eli, uncle Eli, uncle Eli, uncle Eli, uncle Eli,
never have his own identity, uncle Eli, uncle Eli. The
Giants can get really screwed, really easily, which is why
I don't know why they haven't gone out and signed
Russell Wilson because not that I think he's good, because
I don't. I think Russell Wilson stinks. And Aaron Rodgers
is a guy that if he wasn't gonna stay with
the Jets, how's it gonna be for him? I think

(25:59):
the cliff is coming for him early in the season
this year. Neither option is great, but you need a
quarterback and this is what's out there. So okay, you're
gonna sit here and really wait and see what happens.
If if a curveball comes with Rogers and the Vikings,
what are you gonna do? Man?

Speaker 3 (26:16):
What are you gonna get screwed?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
And you're not gonna get a quarterback at number three?
You'll have to say, we have to make a big
trade to move up to two. But they're not gonna
want to trade with you because the two teams ahead
of you want quarterbacks like the Giants can screw themselves
and get screwed. So I don't know why they haven't said, okay,
it's Russell Wilson, like, these are the choices that are
out there. It's like and I go into a restaurant,
what can I have for dinner?

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Well, there's uh.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Finger sandwiches with Swiss cheese, or you could have cook spinach.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Boy, I can't stand Swiss cheese, but I really can't
stand cook spinach. Well you're not gonna have anything for dinner.
But I don't want those two things. This is what
we have. We have Swiss cheese sandwiches or cook spinach.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Okay, If given, I guess I gotta have something because
I'm hungry.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
I'll have a Swiss cheese sandwich.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Uh Okay, don't want it, but that's the best choice
that's out there for the quarterback position for these teams,
for the Giants and the Steelers, this is what's out there,
and the Giants can easily walk away without a quarterback
in this situation.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah. The big question is for the Giants though, with Mera,
is what's the directive to Shane and to Dable. Do
they have to win or is it prepping for whatever
the next quarterback is because if you're drafting somebody, you're
probably not winning a ton, right. Jaden Daniels and the
success he had in Washington a bit of an outlier.
We can single those guys out a few over the

(27:31):
course of the years. Dak Prescott when he was first
playing for the Cowboys, but one rookie but was you
know it rose up to do his own with a
pretty good team. You go all the way back to
Ben Roethlisberger in two thousand and four. Eli eventually got
it right with it with the Giants. But and if
you bring in Russell Wilson, how many games are you

(27:53):
really winning? Are you passing and catching Washington and Philadelphia? No,
So it's a tough decision point, right, all right, how
much do we really go in on the placeholder quarterback
who is a guy that nobody else in a thirty
one with thirty one other vendors in the marketplace want
any part of in terms of how they're putting their

(28:15):
product together for the coming year. So that's I guess
one of the big question that remain for the Giants
as we look at the squad, because they've got a
couple of decent component parts. I mean, Neighbors had himself
a monster year with nobody, but you look at his stands. Now,
Cleveland's got Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh's got Mason Rudolph back, the

(28:35):
Giants have Tommy Cutlets. You got that going for you,
and you got Tennessee. Does Tennessee move off of one?
Is it the Giants that come up to get it?
Or do we look at a move by the Saints
from the nine slot to kind of go up and
gets up and force the end of the Derek Carr
era right after he did the contract stuff. I know

(28:56):
that was just reworked, but it's a fluid situation. I
know the Steelers met with Jalen Milroe tonight was the report,
So you got that they draft down at number twenty one,
but certainly can be left holding the bag and Cleveland,
do we really know that they're going to do the
right thing. I've said all along that we'd see the

(29:16):
quarterbacks drafted and that most of that was noise. As
much as you might like abdual Carter, as much as
you might like Travis Hunter, we know in this league
you have to have a quarterback or you're winning nothing.
But you can get into the philosophy of, well, we're
not going anywhere this year, so let's just get a
boatload of picks, whereby Tennessee just says we don't need
number one, give me as many as you want. Giants,

(29:39):
come up and get your guy. And that's all predicated
on the fact that you don't think Ward, Sanders, Dart, McCord,
mil Row, any of these guys fit the bill as
a franchise guy to lead you to the promised Land.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Anyway, Just get ready watch the Giants screw themselves out
of a quarterback. And I'm gonna watch another off season
Hard Knocks on the Giants.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Will you laugh more at the Giants or the or
the Vikings if they get to Rogers.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Oh, I'll laugh more at the Vikings if they get
Aaron Rodgers. Okay, but I will also laugh at the Giants,
and I will watch the Hard Knocks. Offseason for the
Giants is gonna be just Shane and Dable and Mara
fighting each other. It be fistfight, walk by each other
in the hallway, just fistfights all the time.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
You screwed it up, No, you screwed it up, No,
you screwed it up.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
And then does Marrek cry because he said he was
gonna cry when sakuon.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Hey, I'm gonna cry if we don't get a quarterback.
I'm a real problem. If we don't get a quarterback this.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
We'll get him. It's just plenty of guys on the market.
It's gonna work. Don't forget. You can still go trade
for Captain.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Kirk Exit out Vyta Fresca Exit Swollen Dome. Jason Smith
Mike Harbon live from the TIREC dot Com studios time
out to find out what's trending from a man who
has been called the Kirk cousins.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Of Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Wow, because he's got a special room under the stairs
in his house with all the clippings and uniforms from
his sports career.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
It's Steve de Seger.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
You like that.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
I was really afraid of where that was going.

Speaker 6 (31:03):
Let's go to the NBA scoreboard of the late game
went to the Clippers over Cleveland, won thirty two to nineteen.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Clips have won four in a row.

Speaker 6 (31:10):
Thirty three points for Kawhi Leonard, he beats the Zubats,
had twenty eight points and twenty rebounds. Golden State won
without Steph Curry resting his strained lower back, Jimmy Butler
twenty four points in a win over Milwaukee one o
four to ninety three. Boston did not have the injured
Jason Tatum or Jalen Brown, but still beat Brooklyn one
o four to ninety six. Christops Porzingis twenty five points

(31:32):
thirteen rebounds, and Atlanta got thirty one points from Trey
Young in an easy win at Charlotte one thirty four
to one oh two. Sacramento's Dementis Sabonis could miss a
week and a half or more with a sprained ankle.
Oklahoma City shay Gilgis Alexander is out for the Wednesday
game against the Sixers due to rest. Philadelphia's Tyrese Maxi
will miss a ninth straight game Wednesday with back and

(31:53):
finger injuries. Tyrese Haliburton questionable for the Pacers tomorrow. Pascal
Siakam questionable as well as for the NCAA tournament. The
first four opened with a last second layup from Alabama
State to win seventy to sixty eight over Saint Francis, PA.
The bucket came after a length of the court pass.
So Thursday Alabama State versus Auburn, and Friday, it's North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Against Old Miss.

Speaker 6 (32:17):
Tar Heels led San Diego State after about thirteen minutes
thirty three to thirteen. It was eighty two forty two
in the second half. Tar Heels win at ninety five
sixty eight. Texas has its playing game tomorrow night against Xavier.
Among the seven NIT tournament games, Chattanooga in three overtimes
won at Middle Tennessee. Indiana's new head coach is Darreen

(32:38):
Devrees after one season at West Virginia. He'd originally signed
a five year deal there, so his buyout is reportedly
over six million dollars.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
West Virginia is going to look into this at the
highest level to see what was done wrong.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
They lost their head coats.

Speaker 6 (32:53):
They're going to get the Attorney General on it right now.
On the AP All American Team, there were two unanimous
first teamers to Cooper Flag, Auburn's Jeni Broom. Among the
nine NHL games, Dallas won in overtime over Anaheim. Edmonton
was a seven to one winner against Utah. Victories for
Vancouver and Washington. Green Bay Packers signed wide receiver Nicole Hardman.

(33:14):
The Patriots signed quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Dodgers beat the Cubs
four to one, and the season opener in Tokyo. Game
two of the two game set on FS one starts
at six am Eastern time. Mookie bets missing these games
overseas after an illness.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve though The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Carmon live the tyrack dot com Studios

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Speaker 4 (33:55):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
live the tirack dot Com Studios.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Where uh.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
We're getting set another five and a half hours from now,
justin Frostburg, is gonna set his alarm to wipe up
and watch Day two of the MLB season, Dodge and
the Cubs Japan for Roki Sasaki's MLB debut.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
He says he's gonna have a little hot sake. Sure,
get things started. It it's a sak sasaki. You know
what the Cubs are gonna drink? What's gonna drink? Cold soak?
It'll be cold.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
I think you're gonna say the Cubs drink what Budweiser?
Oh right, yeah, okay, that that sounds about right now.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
It's good to see all the luminaries there as part
of the festivities, right, and you have Bill Murray and
Jack White hanging out together all the former Cubs. Uh
Kaske Fukudome was a Cubs outfielder, came out over eight
years ago. He threw out a first pitch h and
all the pomp and circumstance and the pageant tree of
everything was pretty coold to see. So we'll see how

(34:57):
they follow up. How many more Pikachu Pikachu? There were
two pikachu's last night, two Pikachus before the game? I
saw thought I saw more? No, I think crossper How
many Pikachus were there the two Pikachi? How many Pikachu's?
Is it a two Pikachu like the Jackson the Green
where they plural.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Two Pikachu night two two Pikachu.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Now look there's all different takeaways from this, and I
think it's one game out of one hundred and sixty two,
right with with the Dodgers, but clearly the spotlight on
them coming off the World Series, putting together the best
roster that I've seen in baseball on paper in probably
thirty years. I mean, I I gotta go back. I
even think it's better than the Yankees in ninety six. Uh,
it's it's hard for me to find a team that

(35:39):
is not this loaded. And the thing that stuck out
for me last night was how seamless they went to
the bullpen four no hit innings and it ended with
tryn in to ten Or Scott. And yes, it's one game,
and and we're not not to make too much about it,
but clearly the Dodgers are coming in overwhelmingly favorites. As

(36:02):
John Paul Morosi said with us earlier in the show,
if the Dodgers don't win the World Series, something mildly
surprising really has to happen right now, not Tom Crat,
something mildly for them to not win the World Series.
And the thing that sticks out to me is that,
all right, and with most teams, what do you say
your weakness is somewhere. Your bullpen is your weakness. And
the Dodgers, for years, the bullpen has hurt them. Right,

(36:23):
Dave Roberts loves to go to the bullpen, loves to
make moves. Lots of times the moves were wrong. But
you're coming off a year last year in which the
bullpen won the series for you against the Padres, got
you through against the Mets, were able to have a
bullpen day in safe starting and safe starting pitchers, and
you just blitzed through the Yankees and Walker Buehler is
closing out the ninth inning and in Yankee Stadium. And

(36:46):
what they did this offseason was they went and they
had Kirby Yates. It didn't pitch, and they add Tanner
Scott and now the Dodgers have three guys that can close.
And not only that, but they have four pitchers who
saw ran through the gauntlet last year and won the
World Series that can come in and pitch and relieve
one another, whether it's Banda or Landon Knack or Alex

(37:08):
Vesia comes in. They have so many lefties that can
come in out of the bullpen and pitch, and they
are interchangeable.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
It's an easy.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
It's an easy call for Dave Roberts and yes, and
you have even better starters this year because you're adding
snell In Sasakian allegedly a better year from Yamamoto and
Tyler glasnowen, Really, I say to myself, one of the
Dodgers gonna lose? Like could they win one hundred and
fifteen never? Actually could they win one hundred and fifteen games?

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Because the bullpen is going to see them through so
many games because it's gotten so much better. And you
have four guys that won the World Series and three
guys that can close. I mean, you've taken care of
the seventh, eighth, and ninth inning in some kind of order.
Kirby Yates can pitch the seventh, he can also close.
Trying to will pitch the seventh or eighth, he can
also close. Scott's got the ninth. When he's not available,

(37:55):
one of the other guys will pitch. Like this, the
Dodger bullpen is bulletproof. I say, how are they going
to lose? Like seeing them in action? This is again,
no Mookie Bets, no Freddie Freeman, doesn't matter. Now, injuries
can always be a thing, but you can't bank on them.
You can't say, well, look at how any injuries they
got through last year, right, But still.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
I mean, injuries are a thing you can't you can't
make a you can't say well, they'll get hurt because
injuries are unpredictable. But you know you're putting this team
out there and I go you find a week and
find where you can find the soft, seamy underbelly. And
even the bullpen is a huge strength. It's one of
the best bullpens in Major League Baseball. Not just a
bullpen that can get by, not a bullpen that can
pitch well in the clutch. It's one of the best

(38:33):
bullpens in Major League Baseball. The Dodgers are entering with
the best lineup, the best starting pitching, and the best bullpen.
Like I really one hundred and fifteen wins, one hundred
and ten wins, Like, what's the what's the number? Well,
then you hammer the over. I was just looking at
it earlier today.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
It was in one O three, which was ten games
better than Atlanta at ninety three and a half.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
They were next on the list.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
And then we start to get to the cannibalization of
all the other divisions as you go.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
For the Dodgers last year, bullpen e RA was top
five for the season. Bullpen games are always a frightening
proposition because, as we've always said, all you got to
do if you pick the wrong guy on the wrong
day and things can go to help. And so that
still remains. But certainly having debt.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
Look at all that you have.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
Now you don't have to worry about bullpen games. Well,
but but that's the thing bullpen games are. You're still
going to the pen three or four times, and that's
the thing that still needs to you know. The cautionary
tail is occasionally you'd like a pitcher to get into
the sixth, maybe the seventh.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
That would be nice. It's a nice luxury.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
You know.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
We're about saying, well, we got to start land and
neck and then vesia and then go you're not you're
not having that anymore. So that's how the Mets went.
The Mets won both the bullpen games. The Mets knocked
the crap out of the Okay, but now the Dodgers
don't have that anymore. It's now we just we can
go to our stream. Look, but you see you in
the NLCS again, see you in the NLCS. I'll see
you with one Soto in the eighth and against Trin

(39:58):
and with two one and two out in Game seven. Yeah,
but he also just cursed your squad, just said, ah,
they're unbeatable.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Look what he did to you.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Roky Frostburg. Okay, exit, how about a Fresca and swollen dome.
