Speaker 4 (00:51):
Well, here we are. We've nearly made it.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Super Bowl Licks coming up in about thirty six hours.
Ed before that, we'll find see the players traded this
week in the NBA I actually.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Play for their new teams. Do you think you actually will?
Are you? Are you convinced of that?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I got it?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
At some point they have to play, right, I mean,
we could well in the All Star breaks next week.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Right, everybody's got calf injuries, sore ankles, all this other stuff.
And I hadn't been Luca with the calf. I mean,
just you know, you're citing random injuries to guys. I'm like,
are you just gonna take the last two games off
before the All Star break?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Is this what we're setting up here?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
You know, I I gotta say that.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I think some of the fans might eventually get why
to the fact that, hey, wait a minute, Luca hasn't
played again. He comes out in ways before every game,
but he's not played yet.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Hang on a second. This is the middle of April.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Kevin Durant suddenly isn't feeling so great after the trade deadline.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I mean, what have we got going on it?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Lebron suddenly he's doubtful for tomorrow after dominating three games. Look,
it's the Fountain of Youth. Oh, I think it's broken.
I mean, we on sons didn't miss it the night.
What Devin Booker have fifty tonight that he gets it?
He was at forty seven the last time I saw.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I mean, dude, the crushed the jazz. Uh No, But look,
I mean, and here's a very common.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Opinion of this week in sports that we're gonna dispel
for you right now. Yes, the NBA decided you wanted
to take Christmas Day from us, We're going to take
Super Bowl week from you.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
We talked about it right right when that happened, and
congratulates to everybody else who has taking that take and
then run with it the last few days. Uh, but
like this week, we spent more time on the show
talking about the NBA trades than we have about the
Super Bowl. And you see, the common thought about the
Super Bowl is that, hey, there's not a lot of buzz.
The tickets are all down right, Like the tickets you
(02:51):
want to go to the Super Bowl, The price is
the lowest they've been in years.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I think factors going on there.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, no, no, but and that's fine, you know, And
that's it's not just the game. No, it's not just
the game.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's it's it's the it's the fact that the teams
in it, they've also been to the game a lot. Look,
the Chiefs are going three years in a row. If
you if you're a Chiefs fan and wanted to go
to the Super Bowl, you've had your chances, right, You
had your chances to go, and you don't how to
fly out there. The Eagles have been there a couple
of times, but just overall, not not from the game itself,
but you see all these narratives about, oh, it's kind
(03:24):
of a buzzless super Bowl, and I get it. I
get it because we've seen these teams before, and you know,
we've seen them make it. We know now we no
longer get the fascination with Mahomes and the Chiefs. Everybody
hopes they lose. And Okay, we had a big week
in the NBA where the trade of Luca and Anthony
Davis is probably the most shocking strictly sports story since
(03:47):
probably since Andrew Luck retired. Like you're told, there's been
bigger stories, but stories have come out of nowhere that
you didn't think were even possible, that you thought were fake.
I mean this is at the top of that list. Well,
you have Epe that was big, right, right, But how
fast did that story The Dodgers take care of that.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Hey, we're not face.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Baseball buried that as fast as they could. Five years
in prison for there.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, fifty seven months. That's a long time now. And
I get it because I understand every Super Bowl is different.
Some super Bowls there's all kinds of hype behind it
because you can't wait to see it because either the
teams are new or their storylines to follow. And if
we had the Bills and the Lions, it would be
(04:31):
a different story, right, If.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
We had Lions, it would be the opportunity to win
all of those the Bills, their history.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
The Bills or Lions are going to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Think about that? That would that would be the biggest thing.
The Bills or the Lions, two teams that have never
won the Super Bowl. The Bills have come up short
four times, right, They've back four times in a row
in the nineties. The Lions have been cursed since the fifties.
And here there somebody's gonna win the Super Bowl. Like
it would have been a different type of week two
weeks leading up to it. But as it is with
(05:00):
every Super Bowl, you could have a Super Bowl that
has that kind of setting. Right, if it's Bills and
the Lions, We're talking about that NonStop for the last
two weeks, and we get to the game and one
hundred and ten million people are gonna watch it, right,
It's gonna be huge. Then you have games like this
where the lead up isn't that great and it's Mahomes
and it's Hurts and Barkley and there's not a lot
(05:22):
of stuff that's said that gets a lot of your attention.
And still one hundred and ten million people are going
to watch this game, so it really I mean, yes,
it's a really irrelevant part of the story. Yes, the Yeah,
there's not a lot of buzz to it, right, I
understand that, But it doesn't mean that you're not gonna
set records watching this game. People are going to tune
into hate watch the Chiefs and just hope they lose.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
It's like watching the Yankees in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
At this point, they went from being I love the Chiefs,
I ow, Mahomes breaks all the records, I want to
see history. And then after he flops on that one
run three weeks ago in the playoffs and the Chiefs
get more calls go their way, it's I want them
to lose. I want them to lose on a bad
call at the end of the game. I'm a Chiefs fan,
e lgs es Eagles.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I want that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'm gonna go buy a Saquon Barkley, Kelly Green Eagles
jersey just to wear it during the Super Bowl. Then
I'm gonna throw it away at the end because I'm
never gonna need it again. But people are gonna watch
because this is what it is. It's the evil Empire, right,
we know the Chiefs and they're embracing being that.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Now. We've talked about this for a while, so yeah,
there's an overwhelming interest.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
If there wasn't an interest level, I would say, Okay,
maybe it's not gonna be one of those Super Bowls
that breaks records. Maybe we get under one hundred million people,
but it's gonna be over one hundred million when you
talk about the different devices how people watch. But we're
still gonna it's like, get a one hundred and ten million
people watching this game. It's still gonna be a really
big deal. The Chiefs are a big draw. It's just
not a big draw to talk about leading up to
the game.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Well, that's just it, right. It's a lot of the
storylines have been built all year long. All right, Andy
Reid and his greatness now gonna Chase Belichick to Chase Shula.
You've got Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, We've already been having
that inane legacy chatter that you look you you want
to chime in on and have at it. I until
(07:06):
the final tale of the tape is there. It's it's
seemingly a mindless waste of my time, but it's there. Yeah,
it's it's like the Lebron and Michael thing. At this point,
you're not changing anybody's mind. Lebron's gonna have to do
an awful lot of winning after age forty to get there,
(07:27):
and even if he does, uh, the losses are still
gonna be counted, right, I mean just all of those things, right,
you're not changing people's minds. Like during the political season
fighting about a lot of that Stuff's like, yeah, no,
you're you're not. You're not gonna get folks, You're just
not or you know, Pepsi versus coke h to take
it back to something more innocuous, but it's but it's
(07:48):
just the idea, Like those storylines are latent in the background.
The Saquon Barkley that we've talked about a little bit
and his impact and all Sirianni like they're all long
gest stating stories. So like not something that hey, by
the way, like The most fascinating to me and interesting
has been the candor with the AJ Brown talking about
(08:10):
his mental health and some of the struggles that he's
had and revealing, you know, talking about potential self harm
and talking about getting you know, help, and and you
know how he went around and and found his way
back and what like. There's a story, right, that's one
that breaks through. But the rest of it is kind
(08:31):
of long gest stating stuff. But that doesn't mean when
they kick off on Sunday other than you know, the
percentage that want to hate watch and nitpick whatever Tom
Brady has to say. You're getting ready for a big
football game because it is legacy defining, it is the
ultimate game. After all of this, there will be legally
one point four billion dollars wage. Right, You've got motivations
(08:55):
all over Taylor, Swift, drinking games, you name it. It's
the do you want to watch Kendrick Lamar sing not
like Us? And what other special guests beyond Sizza show up?
I mean all of that and so much more. You'll
break that record. And now we just have to get
to the new way of getting the metrics. Jason like,
(09:16):
it's all fuzzy math.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Now just understand that that's how many people are going
to watch the Super Bowl. But now that doesn't mean
that's gonna be the only highlight on Sunday. Because this
is a story that really just hits home to me
when this came today, Because Sunday is going to also
be the end of the career of hube Brown.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
We talked about him a few months ago, ninety one
years old. Hubey Brown, who's called I think the last
seventy five NBA Finals on ESPN Radio. Eighteen straight NBA finals,
he is broadcast. He is going to do the final
game of his career when he broadcasts the Sixers and
the Bucks. I really hope Joel Embiid can play Sunday.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I'm a Dan Battery. In Hubie Brown's last game, he thought.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Back, I'm right around the trade deadline to say, look,
I'm gay, I'm good man, let's go.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You know, Hubie Brown is someone who's the I look
at the next however many more years of my life,
and I think about what my life is going to
be like when I'm seventy seventy five, eighty eighty. You know,
you think about that, and I think the best aspiration
you can have is to be somebody like Hubi Brown,
(10:29):
who is ninety one years old, could still be doing
games if he wanted to.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Know, he took a step back this year.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
He had a couple of really tragic deaths in his
family that he was dealing with, and he's gonna come back.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yoh, look I might just be done.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Look I'm done. I'm ninety one. I'm done doing games.
But he could still do games if he wanted to.
All Right, he's still that sharp. He's calling NBA Finals
games all the way up until last year when he's
ninety years old, right like Bob Yucker ninety years old,
ninety one.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Years old and he's still doing Brewers games.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Like that's that's an ass inspiration that that I look
at and go, boy, that's really all I could ask
for to be that with it to be able to
call an NBA Finals game.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
And I'm ninety one.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Not that I generally do I want to be working
at ninety one, No, but if I want to, I
want to be able to have that opportunity. I want
to have the freedom to not be limited in my
life as I get older, because I think that's what
that's that's what people start thinking about and start taking
care of themselves as they get older and and try
to lose weight or try to practice healthier habits, and
and and make sure you know, you want to keep
(11:31):
the game going as long as you can. But I
think that's winning. I think that that. I think that's
winning in the you know, the back half of your life,
however long it is to be, to get to that
point where you are not beholden to anybody and you
are still living life independently, and to the to the
point where you could be, Hey, they're flying me here.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I'm doing an NBA game.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm flying back just like anybody else is doing in
their thirties, forties and fifties and sixties, play by play
announcers and analyst.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I'm flying here on Tuesday, ere on Wednesday back there.
This is what he's doing. This is this is what
I aspire.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I think what what is what is good to aspire
to as you get older in life? That this kind
of life that Hube Brown is able to have in
his early nineties is outstanding.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Yeah, I mean that's just it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Right to have the autonomy, the choice do I want
to continue? Am I done? Are there other pursuits other
you know, family to reconnect with you. You mentioned the
tragedies this year, his his wife and his son. So
a lot of that way is right and changes your
perspective on how much of the run around. I mean,
(12:39):
everybody has it right at different stages, ages and where
you're at in your career. No matter what you do
for a living, you have those moments, those pivot moments,
you know, the kids getting older, the graduating and moving away,
whether you decided you don't like the city you live in,
all of those, but you're hopeful that physically and mentally
(13:01):
that you have the ability to have those choices that
are yours and to have that autonomy. And for Hubie Brown, like,
I think it's going to be fascinating to see what
kind of montage you put together because you go back
to all the years of as a coach. Right now,
he's been you know, part of our broadcast cycle for
(13:22):
so long and and teaching us about basketball and basketball
history that you forget, Oh yeah, this guy was a
longtime coach too, right, and he.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Coached the Knicks when I was ten years old.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
All right, I mean you take it all the way
back to that, right, So it's it's just those kind
of things. So the montages of old calls and coaching clips,
the suit coats that all those guys wore, the great
plaids from the seventies and everything will be on full display.
But you know, in the larger aspirational thing, yeah, I mean,
(13:56):
we all want to be able to choose. Right, that's
when we celebrate players, right when they have one of
those big moments when you you know, l Way's body
was breaking down, but he gets a Super Bowl win
and is able to say, no, Moss, I'm done. Jerome Bettis,
I'm gonna go and I'm gonna win a super Bowl
in Detroit and then I'm gonna quit, you know, on
and down the line right where where you just are
(14:18):
able to to just say, okay, it's my time, it's
my moment to do. And then we all all should
hope that we're in that position to where, you know, look,
not everybody gets to write the end of hey, I
have a natural retirement progression or any of those things.
Stuff happens abruptly. For hub Brown, I mean, it's the
(14:38):
best of all worlds. Hopefully you know, his health is
good and you know he's got some years left to
go and and pursue. What's what's next in the basketball?
In the post basketball world?

Radical Rod, day and night, all the time. Okay, Uh,
we are thirty six hours away a little bit less
than that from Super Bowl licks.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
But before we get to that, Mike and I have
the rest of this hour.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
We got our Superowl MVP odds, we got our picks,
we got prop bets. More evidence today that we know
exactly how the first three picks of the NFL draft
are going to go. Uh, pretty simple, because once again
we got another big hint that Shador Sanders his preferred
destination are the Giants, right he was asked to ask
(17:56):
today did an interview in which he was asked about
how disappointed.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
He would be if he didn't go number one.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Overall, and he said, completely cool with that. Man, doesn't matter.
It's more about fit than it is going number one.
Why would I be mad where I go? I want
to be able to have the best fit and it
has been clear now. We talked about this last week
when Shador Sanders all but told us where he wants
to play, where he thinks he's going to play. When
(18:23):
he was at the East West Shrine game in Dallas,
did an interview on the sideline saying, yeah, looking forward
to be back here in a few months playing against
the Cowboys. Well, of course, first three picks. Titans don't
really play the Cowboys. They play them in twenty six.
They do play them in twenty six. I'm gonna wait
in a year and a half to come play that
game a dish best se show.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I'm gonna bypass my entire rookie year, half of my
next year and then get to that game.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I get there, then you have the Browns.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
No, the Giants who play in the NFC East and
play in Dallas every single year. Uh yeah, the Giants
who we talked to. I had a wonderful meeting with him.
The Giants are gaga over Shador Sanders and to hear
saying I want the best fit. What's going on here
now is he is letting everybody know Team Shadure, which
you know Deon Sanders is part of this too, letting
(19:15):
everybody know the Giants are our preferred destination.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
And if you pick him, you roll the dice. Because
it was twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You know, every generation it happens twenty years ago where
Eli Manning goes number one overall and he and his
dad say, guess what, not going to the Chargers. Got
to trade him not going there? Not going there? You
risk that because because this that could absolutely and because look,
Dion and Shadoor, they want what they want like they're
not They're not people who are gonna say, well you
(19:45):
go or wherever who drafts you make the best. No,
we want you to go here because this is your
best chance to succeed. And having Shador in the number
one media market in the country with a heritage team,
my goodness, the popularity he had in college football where
he was incredibly popular.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
He's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Ten times more fun with the Giants that he would
than he would be anywhere else. And yeah, other teams,
the first two teams they're gonna get really weird about
taking because they don't want to be put in that
situation where, hey, we draft Shador Sanders and Dion calls
us right after the right after we pick him, and
he says, hey, he's not coming here. Not that they
would do that, but by putting out there this is
(20:24):
our preferred destination. Really is the Giants that's gonna scare
those teams off, right. The Titans at number one, they're
already talking about potentially not taking Travis Hunter. No, when
it comes down to it, they'll take Travis Hunter at
number one. They're not gonna take one of the quarterbacks.
The Browns at number two are gonna draft cam Ward.
They like him a lot. They're gonna stay away from
Shador Sanders, and the Giants will get him at three.
(20:45):
That's how the first three picks are gonna go Hunter
number one, Ward number.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Two, and Shadorda the Giants at number three.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I am more sure about Chador to this Giants at
three than I'm about one and two, which tells you
what I think about how sure I am that that's
where he's gonna end up playing.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
You know what, I'm gonna reach out to Todd Furman.
We're not gonna get an instant response. But the next
time we we convene, I'm gonna see what you can
get as a as that as a three player parlay that. Okay,
see what we can do with that, you know, tennessee
uh GM and everybody talking about, hey, you know we
can't get you know, pass up on a generational player.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
So I don't know what that means. Number one pick?
You have the number one pick in the draft? Draft?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Right, shouldn't you be getting a generational player when you
pick number one?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Over?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
We we we use that term way too loosely, right,
way too liberally, right, all these generational guys like, no,
he's the guy this year.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I don't remember generations being defined by a single calendar year,
but I guess that's what we do now in sports.
The next draft pass. But all that to say, when
when he makes a statement like that, is like, do
you have someone in mind?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
And if so, who is it? Right?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Is it Abdul Carter? Is that a guy you'd think
he it is? Or is it the Travis Hunter? You know?
Playing both ways and depending on how utilize and what
kind of schemes you can draw up on either side
of the ball that you can really tap into what
he's been at Colorado. It we wouldn't think it was
Ward or Sanders, So it's just a curious turn of phrase.
(22:22):
Cleveland's always a wild card most of the time. They
do some pretty good things with their roster building, except
that whole Deshaun Watson thing that really just kind of
blew everything up. Now he's off the table because he
won't play this year, But what does that mean for
the draft? Are you taking a quarterback necessarily don't know?
Or are you going into the marketplace since Kirk Cousin
(22:43):
sure is hell ain't coming back to Atlanta or some
of those other quarterbacks that are out there. But yeah,
the chdur to the Giants makes a lot of sense
from a million for a million things. Maybe it'll get
Malik Neighbors to shut up because he's he's already opining
about the idea of going and play playing with Jayden Daniels. Like,
you know, Giants fans still salty over a watch in
(23:06):
sa Kwan Berkley now that they got this guy after
his rooky years, Like yeah, it's cool, I like it.
You know what, though, it would be great to play
with that guy. It's like, no, you can't have that,
honest the moment. Yet you can't do it. You're you're
you're going after people that way. But for Shador and
the world's his oyster. I'd love to see him in Tennessee,
(23:27):
uh and see them start to build. But I can
understand where where you'd say, let's push it on. Now
I don't. I don't think they part the red seas
for for the giants, but uh, the the dominoes certainly
could could fall in your way, and that would be
a nice hefty parlay I believe as it currently is constructed.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
You know, the thing is is like and Abdul Carter's
getting a lot of run, potentially his number one pick,
so you've seen the odds on him have come down
in Vegas. But that's like a pick that gets you fired.
Not that he's not a great player. Look a big
ten defensive player, ye right, the latest in the line
of great Penn State players to wear number eleven. But like,
that's a pick that if you get it wrong, you
get fired.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
But even if you.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Get it right, how many wins are you know, Like, yeah,
he's great, but you now keep building.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, if you take Travis Hunter, and he stinks it's well, okay,
what are you gonna do? This is a generational guy,
first guy to play both ways that good in college football.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Ever, like like like Charles.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Woodson wasn't that good offensively, Travis Hunt was ten times
better than Woodson was offensively.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
I played more.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
But this is a guy that can do both of
those things. If you draft him and he turns out
to be kind of a bust. Okay, he was the
consensus number one overall pick. You start getting a little
crazy go and I'm getting a little chets and I'm
gonna go.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Up doing car whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa? What are
you doing? Or what do you do? Like?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
So when it comes down to it, the teams are
gonna wind up taking the players they're supposed to, the
safe picks at one, two, three, and the Browns can't
come out of there without a quarterback. You want to
talk about guys that want to get fired. So that's
how it's gonna go. And the Giants will take Sanders
at number three. Like, I don't know any for the
latest odds.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I don't know that there's a drama. God, what do
you got?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah? For the number one pick. This is the latest
I've seen as of February fourth, cam Ward plus one
ten to be the number one overall pick, head of
Abdul Carter, ahead of Travis Hunter. That's that's just for
the number one pick. Not this is quins, but that's
where it sits. Now. Hey, I'm just giving information.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Information is free exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome.
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon

do him.

With this level. It's Steve the Sager. He's got what
trendick question?
Speaker 5 (25:58):

Speaker 1 (29:22):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carbon all right, so
Mike and I gonna give you our our official Super
Bowl lix picks coming up in about ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
But you want to explain what the lix is for
folks that might be a little confused.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
But no, no, figure figure it out. Maybe, Oh super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Licks, Well, I mean it's Friday. Maybe you're getting a
little bit loose. I mean not on Bourbon Street, but
I mean La has been known to have a party
or two.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
What's your lix picks. I'll tell you my lix picks
coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's gonna start with Smoke on the Water, great licks
and rock history.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You know, we've spent a lot of time tonight talking
about the odds, big prop bets. You know, the last
couple of days for the Super Bowl, Super Bowl Licks,
and there is pretty much I mean, I don't know
how much of a world there is for someone outside
of Mahomes, Hurts or Barkley to win.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Super Bowl MVP.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Right, these are the three favorites and prohibitive yea, and
you know, really, how's it gonna happen?
Speaker 4 (30:24):
How's one of these other somebody else gonna win it?
But yeah, Jalen Hurts is a veritable long shot.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, yeah, like he's plus three fifty. Hey, Barkley ran
for forty three yards in a touchdown. Hurts through for
three seventy five. Barkley, Barkley, right right, Barkley, Barkley wants it.
So but if you want somebody outside of these guys,
you want a real long shot for MVP, I'm gonna
give you somebody. And wait, I'm gonna finish with the
flourish and give you the best part.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Last.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
The guy i'd look at who is plus ten thousand
right now is Dallas Goddard. Right, No, you're not even
go with Travis Kelsey. No, Dallas Goddard. Why the Chiefs
don't give up big plays. That's a big thing about
their defense. So I can see the Eagles be forced
into a kind of a mid range passing day, I
can I can see the Chiefs defense making Barkley earn
(31:13):
a lot of his yards where potentially his day is
twenty to twenty five carries for one hundred hundred and
ten yards. Right, we've seen that in the playoffs before
with Saquon Barkley, meaning that if the Eagles are gonna
move the football, they got to throw it. And like
we said, the Chiefs don't give up big plays, which
means gonna be hard for aj Brown DeVante Smith to
really break through. But Dallas Goddard is a big weapon
(31:35):
mid range passing game, he would be the guy. Right. Okay,
well you picked the tight end. Well here's the reason.
Do you know the Kansas City Chiefs are the worst
team in the NFL covering the tight end this year
because no, no, no, the team the worst to the
best team. They are second worst this year cover the
(32:00):
tight end. They've given up the second most receptions and
the most yards. So you're talking about a defense that's
really good, right, chief Dain's been really good all season long.
No matter what they do, they can't cover the tight end.
They've allowed the most yards eleven hundred and ninety one,
second most receptions.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
One hundred and six.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
So yeah, you tell me, no matter what they do,
if they impose their will on this game, tight end
can still have a big day. And if it's not
big passing numbers for hurts, not being rushing numbers for Barkley,
Dallas Goddard has one of those eight to ten catches
and hundred and twenty yards in a touchdown game, Your
plus ten thousand Dallas Goddard could be your MVP.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Look get you. You know me.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I love my lovely world and the defensive side of things.
I love three yards and a cloud of dust, and
I like defense. So I'm gonna give you a guy
from each side. Because the narratives are there, right Spagnolo
vig Fangio. One of them is gonna be a genius
Fanjo has never beaten Patrick Mahome, so that would be
a big deal. Uh, Jalen Carter, everybody's jumped on board.
(33:05):
Go back to the revisionist history of what should it
could have happened? Uh during the draft, maybe a little
bit of uh, you know, research once again of the
difference between the player and some of the off the
field stuff that allowed him to end up as part
of a really good Philadelphia defense. He's one hundred to
one on that side, Philadelphia defense, if they can get
(33:26):
after Patrick Mahomes make him look quote unquote pedestrian. And again, Uh,
a lot of this goes to the game being one
late and not being done with some dramatic, massive play
right on the offensive side. So I'm going to the defense. Uh,
the other for Kansas City, a lot of love. Uh
(33:47):
when you when you look at the defensive front, uh,
and and certainly you know you're you've got uh a
would be Hall of Famer on one side. How about
George carl Loftis Maybe it's my big ten Apollo just
side showing. So the boiler Makers, they really haven't anybody
that you've talked about since Drew Brees. One hundred and
(34:07):
forty to one for George Carl Loftis after it and
they have the big play. That's a decision maker. Look,
you've got a lot of the Kelsey's fourteen to one,
You've got the wide receivers for the Eagles, get a
little bit of love. But outside of the big three
right off the jump, the two quarterbacks in Barkley, everything
(34:29):
constitutes a long shot.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
You like, dude, you have been.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
You always pick When we talk about long shots, you
always go defense. If Richard Dent didn't win the MVP
in eighty five, you would not.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Be doing this.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Well, you give the three sacks in a forty six
to ten game, a guy with three sacks wins the MVP.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Come on, man, well they dominated? Yeah, I know they did,
but come on, they scored forty six points.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, you could have picked for Yeah, well, you know
it is. It is what it is. But it's it's
just the idea of from the offensive side. It's gonna
be really hard for someone other than those three favorites,
I mean, which is why all the betting betting lines
are what they are and the money's flowing. We talked
a lot about the Saquon Barkley anytime touchdown props and
(35:17):
everything out there that it's gonna take something special. So
why not be special? Because I like your Goddard pick,
but if he has a big day, it's still gonna
go to Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Exit up about a Fresca exit swalling down The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Harmon Liverom thetirec dot Com Studios.
What are our official picks for Super Bowl Licks that
and our favorite prop bets coming up next right here,
Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
Love Froth Tireck dot Com Studios. You know, I will
say this. I didn't know this until I went and
looked at I wanted to see.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
You know, we're joking.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
We're joking about Richard Dent winning Super Bowl MVP and
the Bear scored forty six points. Obviously, the forty six defense.
That year, they set a record that I don't know
is ever going to be broken the Super Bowl. In
that year, they allowed the fewest yards rushing in a
Super Bowl game. The Patriots had eleven carries for seven yards.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Yeah they did.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Craig James is a leading ball carrier. Three carries for
four yards in that game. I don't think that's gonna
be broken. I think, no matter what kind of blowout
you get in the Super Bowl, let's face it, well,
I don't think we're that age anymore. Where Hey, one
conference just so much better that we get blowouts like
we used to get in the in the eighties and
the nineties. Even in the biggest blo I think a
team's gonna run for more than seven yards.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
I think, at least, even if it's one scrambled by
a quarterback racing for his life, mesake, one, Barkley's gonna
have more than that yard's rushing in this first carry, well,
first carry over under four and a half yards, let's go.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I love They'll dial up something good for him to
get to get the Eagles off to a good start.
You're talking about the the prop bets right there. I
like the over for Saquon Barkley's first carry over four
and a half yards.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I like that. There's your opening cell, though, I found
another one that I think you'll love. Okay, right, you
have Dallas Goddard as your long shot MVP. If you
missed any of today's show, grab the podcast Great four Hours.
Mark Medina joined us for the NBA Todd Urman with
a lot on wagering and getting ready for the Super Bowl.
Check out his bet the Board podcast as well. Wherever
(37:43):
you get your fine audio Travis Kelcey and Dallas Goddard
to combine for twelve or more receptions.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Oh, I love the over on that. Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Because I love the over on Kelsey Kelsey six and
a half. Kelsey has rested it's the Super Bowl. Mahomes
is gonna have the game on his shoulders. I like
all the overs for Mahomes. Two hundred and fifty one yards,
thirty six pass attempts. It's everything is on his show.
They're gonna throw the ball all day. I love all
the Mahomes overs. I love the Kelsey over. I love
the over for both of those, both of the tight ends.
(38:16):
All right, here's one that I think you'll really enjoy.
Each team to punt exactly two times thirteen to one.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Ooh exactly.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
I don't know that I'm that risky. So how many
times will Ariza find his way onto a under the field?
How do you like that?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
In a year where we're talking about fourth down calls
and decision making and and you know math, there's one
for you.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
All right, So time for Mike and I to give
you our picks for Super bowld licks. And I'll tell
you what, No one's gonna stop the Eagles. They're too
strong offensively. The offensive line is going to be able
to control the day. They'll be able to throw the
ball if they have to, but mainly it's Saquon Barkley's year.
And they'll be able to hammer away at the Chiefs
(39:13):
defense and score and score enough to win this game.
But more importantly, defensively, the Eagles are more than equipped
to handle the pedestrian weapons that the Chiefs have. Right,
they'll pressure Patrick Mahomes enough. The Eagles roster is just better.
It's a better roster than the Chiefs. And I get
the Chiefs own the fourth quarter. But the Eagles put
it all together. They win it twenty seven to twenty three.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
I got thirty one twenty eight Chiefs, we're in the
final two minutes. You get the drive, you get the
pass downfield, Hollywood Brown seventeen and a half take.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
All Hollywood the hero.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
But and that sets up Butker all right, last prop
bet after you're gonna have to be okay with Siriani
being a winner. That's I can't wait to talk to
you about that. I'm money now, money yellow yellow, limeer
green minus one ninety five Perl plus three seventy orange
plus nine fifty Red, pink at plus fifteen hundred, Blue
(40:14):
at plus fifteen hundred, water or clear at plus fifteen hundred.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
If the if I'm picking the Eagles to win, the
Gatorade's gonna be green.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Give me green Gatorade for the.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Eagles minus one ninety five.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Mabe.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
That means I'm at fifteen to one from my red
and pink.
Speaker 2 (40:31):

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Well, here we are. We've nearly made it.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Super Bowl Licks coming up in about thirty six hours.
Ed before that, we'll find see the players traded this
week in the NBA I actually.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Play for their new teams. Do you think you actually will?
Are you? Are you convinced of that?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I got it?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
At some point they have to play, right, I mean,
we could well in the All Star breaks next week.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Right, everybody's got calf injuries, sore ankles, all this other stuff.
And I hadn't been Luca with the calf. I mean,
just you know, you're citing random injuries to guys. I'm like,
are you just gonna take the last two games off
before the All Star break?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Is this what we're setting up here?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
You know, I I gotta say that.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I think some of the fans might eventually get why
to the fact that, hey, wait a minute, Luca hasn't
played again. He comes out in ways before every game,
but he's not played yet.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Hang on a second. This is the middle of April.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Kevin Durant suddenly isn't feeling so great after the trade deadline.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I mean, what have we got going on it?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Lebron suddenly he's doubtful for tomorrow after dominating three games. Look,
it's the Fountain of Youth. Oh, I think it's broken.
I mean, we on sons didn't miss it the night.
What Devin Booker have fifty tonight that he gets it?
He was at forty seven the last time I saw.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I mean, dude, the crushed the jazz. Uh No, But look,
I mean, and here's a very common.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Opinion of this week in sports that we're gonna dispel
for you right now. Yes, the NBA decided you wanted
to take Christmas Day from us, We're going to take
Super Bowl week from you.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
We talked about it right right when that happened, and
congratulates to everybody else who has taking that take and
then run with it the last few days. Uh, but
like this week, we spent more time on the show
talking about the NBA trades than we have about the
Super Bowl. And you see, the common thought about the
Super Bowl is that, hey, there's not a lot of buzz.
The tickets are all down right, Like the tickets you
(02:51):
want to go to the Super Bowl, The price is
the lowest they've been in years.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I think factors going on there.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, no, no, but and that's fine, you know, And
that's it's not just the game. No, it's not just
the game.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's it's it's the it's the fact that the teams
in it, they've also been to the game a lot. Look,
the Chiefs are going three years in a row. If
you if you're a Chiefs fan and wanted to go
to the Super Bowl, you've had your chances, right, You
had your chances to go, and you don't how to
fly out there. The Eagles have been there a couple
of times, but just overall, not not from the game itself,
but you see all these narratives about, oh, it's kind
(03:24):
of a buzzless super Bowl, and I get it. I
get it because we've seen these teams before, and you know,
we've seen them make it. We know now we no
longer get the fascination with Mahomes and the Chiefs. Everybody
hopes they lose. And Okay, we had a big week
in the NBA where the trade of Luca and Anthony
Davis is probably the most shocking strictly sports story since
(03:47):
probably since Andrew Luck retired. Like you're told, there's been
bigger stories, but stories have come out of nowhere that
you didn't think were even possible, that you thought were fake.
I mean this is at the top of that list. Well,
you have Epe that was big, right, right, But how
fast did that story The Dodgers take care of that.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Hey, we're not face.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Baseball buried that as fast as they could. Five years
in prison for there.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, fifty seven months. That's a long time now. And
I get it because I understand every Super Bowl is different.
Some super Bowls there's all kinds of hype behind it
because you can't wait to see it because either the
teams are new or their storylines to follow. And if
we had the Bills and the Lions, it would be
(04:31):
a different story, right, If.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
We had Lions, it would be the opportunity to win
all of those the Bills, their history.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
The Bills or Lions are going to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Think about that? That would that would be the biggest thing.
The Bills or the Lions, two teams that have never
won the Super Bowl. The Bills have come up short
four times, right, They've back four times in a row
in the nineties. The Lions have been cursed since the fifties.
And here there somebody's gonna win the Super Bowl. Like
it would have been a different type of week two
weeks leading up to it. But as it is with
(05:00):
every Super Bowl, you could have a Super Bowl that
has that kind of setting. Right, if it's Bills and
the Lions, We're talking about that NonStop for the last
two weeks, and we get to the game and one
hundred and ten million people are gonna watch it, right,
It's gonna be huge. Then you have games like this
where the lead up isn't that great and it's Mahomes
and it's Hurts and Barkley and there's not a lot
(05:22):
of stuff that's said that gets a lot of your attention.
And still one hundred and ten million people are going
to watch this game, so it really I mean, yes,
it's a really irrelevant part of the story. Yes, the Yeah,
there's not a lot of buzz to it, right, I
understand that, But it doesn't mean that you're not gonna
set records watching this game. People are going to tune
into hate watch the Chiefs and just hope they lose.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
It's like watching the Yankees in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
At this point, they went from being I love the Chiefs,
I ow, Mahomes breaks all the records, I want to
see history. And then after he flops on that one
run three weeks ago in the playoffs and the Chiefs
get more calls go their way, it's I want them
to lose. I want them to lose on a bad
call at the end of the game. I'm a Chiefs fan,
e lgs es Eagles.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I want that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'm gonna go buy a Saquon Barkley, Kelly Green Eagles
jersey just to wear it during the Super Bowl. Then
I'm gonna throw it away at the end because I'm
never gonna need it again. But people are gonna watch
because this is what it is. It's the evil Empire, right,
we know the Chiefs and they're embracing being that.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Now. We've talked about this for a while, so yeah,
there's an overwhelming interest.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
If there wasn't an interest level, I would say, Okay,
maybe it's not gonna be one of those Super Bowls
that breaks records. Maybe we get under one hundred million people,
but it's gonna be over one hundred million when you
talk about the different devices how people watch. But we're
still gonna it's like, get a one hundred and ten million
people watching this game. It's still gonna be a really
big deal. The Chiefs are a big draw. It's just
not a big draw to talk about leading up to
the game.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Well, that's just it, right. It's a lot of the
storylines have been built all year long. All right, Andy
Reid and his greatness now gonna Chase Belichick to Chase Shula.
You've got Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, We've already been having
that inane legacy chatter that you look you you want
to chime in on and have at it. I until
(07:06):
the final tale of the tape is there. It's it's
seemingly a mindless waste of my time, but it's there. Yeah,
it's it's like the Lebron and Michael thing. At this point,
you're not changing anybody's mind. Lebron's gonna have to do
an awful lot of winning after age forty to get there,
(07:27):
and even if he does, uh, the losses are still
gonna be counted, right, I mean just all of those things, right,
you're not changing people's minds. Like during the political season
fighting about a lot of that Stuff's like, yeah, no,
you're you're not. You're not gonna get folks, You're just
not or you know, Pepsi versus coke h to take
it back to something more innocuous, but it's but it's
(07:48):
just the idea, Like those storylines are latent in the background.
The Saquon Barkley that we've talked about a little bit
and his impact and all Sirianni like they're all long
gest stating stories. So like not something that hey, by
the way, like The most fascinating to me and interesting
has been the candor with the AJ Brown talking about
(08:10):
his mental health and some of the struggles that he's
had and revealing, you know, talking about potential self harm
and talking about getting you know, help, and and you
know how he went around and and found his way
back and what like. There's a story, right, that's one
that breaks through. But the rest of it is kind
(08:31):
of long gest stating stuff. But that doesn't mean when
they kick off on Sunday other than you know, the
percentage that want to hate watch and nitpick whatever Tom
Brady has to say. You're getting ready for a big
football game because it is legacy defining, it is the
ultimate game. After all of this, there will be legally
one point four billion dollars wage. Right, You've got motivations
(08:55):
all over Taylor, Swift, drinking games, you name it. It's
the do you want to watch Kendrick Lamar sing not
like Us? And what other special guests beyond Sizza show up?
I mean all of that and so much more. You'll
break that record. And now we just have to get
to the new way of getting the metrics. Jason like,
(09:16):
it's all fuzzy math.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Now just understand that that's how many people are going
to watch the Super Bowl. But now that doesn't mean
that's gonna be the only highlight on Sunday. Because this
is a story that really just hits home to me
when this came today, Because Sunday is going to also
be the end of the career of hube Brown.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
We talked about him a few months ago, ninety one
years old. Hubey Brown, who's called I think the last
seventy five NBA Finals on ESPN Radio. Eighteen straight NBA finals,
he is broadcast. He is going to do the final
game of his career when he broadcasts the Sixers and
the Bucks. I really hope Joel Embiid can play Sunday.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I'm a Dan Battery. In Hubie Brown's last game, he thought.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Back, I'm right around the trade deadline to say, look,
I'm gay, I'm good man, let's go.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You know, Hubie Brown is someone who's the I look
at the next however many more years of my life,
and I think about what my life is going to
be like when I'm seventy seventy five, eighty eighty. You know,
you think about that, and I think the best aspiration
you can have is to be somebody like Hubi Brown,
(10:29):
who is ninety one years old, could still be doing
games if he wanted to.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Know, he took a step back this year.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
He had a couple of really tragic deaths in his
family that he was dealing with, and he's gonna come back.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yoh, look I might just be done.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Look I'm done. I'm ninety one. I'm done doing games.
But he could still do games if he wanted to.
All Right, he's still that sharp. He's calling NBA Finals
games all the way up until last year when he's
ninety years old, right like Bob Yucker ninety years old,
ninety one.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Years old and he's still doing Brewers games.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Like that's that's an ass inspiration that that I look
at and go, boy, that's really all I could ask
for to be that with it to be able to
call an NBA Finals game.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
And I'm ninety one.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Not that I generally do I want to be working
at ninety one, No, but if I want to, I
want to be able to have that opportunity. I want
to have the freedom to not be limited in my
life as I get older, because I think that's what
that's that's what people start thinking about and start taking
care of themselves as they get older and and try
to lose weight or try to practice healthier habits, and
and and make sure you know, you want to keep
(11:31):
the game going as long as you can. But I
think that's winning. I think that that. I think that's
winning in the you know, the back half of your life,
however long it is to be, to get to that
point where you are not beholden to anybody and you
are still living life independently, and to the to the
point where you could be, Hey, they're flying me here.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I'm doing an NBA game.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm flying back just like anybody else is doing in
their thirties, forties and fifties and sixties, play by play
announcers and analyst.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I'm flying here on Tuesday, ere on Wednesday back there.
This is what he's doing. This is this is what
I aspire.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I think what what is what is good to aspire
to as you get older in life? That this kind
of life that Hube Brown is able to have in
his early nineties is outstanding.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Yeah, I mean that's just it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Right to have the autonomy, the choice do I want
to continue? Am I done? Are there other pursuits other
you know, family to reconnect with you. You mentioned the
tragedies this year, his his wife and his son. So
a lot of that way is right and changes your
perspective on how much of the run around. I mean,
(12:39):
everybody has it right at different stages, ages and where
you're at in your career. No matter what you do
for a living, you have those moments, those pivot moments,
you know, the kids getting older, the graduating and moving away,
whether you decided you don't like the city you live in,
all of those, but you're hopeful that physically and mentally
(13:01):
that you have the ability to have those choices that
are yours and to have that autonomy. And for Hubie Brown, like,
I think it's going to be fascinating to see what
kind of montage you put together because you go back
to all the years of as a coach. Right now,
he's been you know, part of our broadcast cycle for
(13:22):
so long and and teaching us about basketball and basketball
history that you forget, Oh yeah, this guy was a
longtime coach too, right, and he.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Coached the Knicks when I was ten years old.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
All right, I mean you take it all the way
back to that, right, So it's it's just those kind
of things. So the montages of old calls and coaching clips,
the suit coats that all those guys wore, the great
plaids from the seventies and everything will be on full display.
But you know, in the larger aspirational thing, yeah, I mean,
(13:56):
we all want to be able to choose. Right, that's
when we celebrate players, right when they have one of
those big moments when you you know, l Way's body
was breaking down, but he gets a Super Bowl win
and is able to say, no, Moss, I'm done. Jerome Bettis,
I'm gonna go and I'm gonna win a super Bowl
in Detroit and then I'm gonna quit, you know, on
and down the line right where where you just are
(14:18):
able to to just say, okay, it's my time, it's
my moment to do. And then we all all should
hope that we're in that position to where, you know, look,
not everybody gets to write the end of hey, I
have a natural retirement progression or any of those things.
Stuff happens abruptly. For hub Brown, I mean, it's the
(14:38):
best of all worlds. Hopefully you know, his health is
good and you know he's got some years left to
go and and pursue. What's what's next in the basketball?
In the post basketball world?

we are thirty six hours away a little bit less
than that from Super Bowl licks.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
But before we get to that, Mike and I have
the rest of this hour.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
We got our Superowl MVP odds, we got our picks,
we got prop bets. More evidence today that we know
exactly how the first three picks of the NFL draft
are going to go. Uh, pretty simple, because once again
we got another big hint that Shador Sanders his preferred
destination are the Giants, right he was asked to ask
(17:56):
today did an interview in which he was asked about
how disappointed.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
He would be if he didn't go number one.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Overall, and he said, completely cool with that. Man, doesn't matter.
It's more about fit than it is going number one.
Why would I be mad where I go? I want
to be able to have the best fit and it
has been clear now. We talked about this last week
when Shador Sanders all but told us where he wants
to play, where he thinks he's going to play. When
(18:23):
he was at the East West Shrine game in Dallas,
did an interview on the sideline saying, yeah, looking forward
to be back here in a few months playing against
the Cowboys. Well, of course, first three picks. Titans don't
really play the Cowboys. They play them in twenty six.
They do play them in twenty six. I'm gonna wait
in a year and a half to come play that
game a dish best se show.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I'm gonna bypass my entire rookie year, half of my
next year and then get to that game.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I get there, then you have the Browns.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
No, the Giants who play in the NFC East and
play in Dallas every single year. Uh yeah, the Giants
who we talked to. I had a wonderful meeting with him.
The Giants are gaga over Shador Sanders and to hear
saying I want the best fit. What's going on here
now is he is letting everybody know Team Shadure, which
you know Deon Sanders is part of this too, letting
(19:15):
everybody know the Giants are our preferred destination.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
And if you pick him, you roll the dice. Because
it was twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You know, every generation it happens twenty years ago where
Eli Manning goes number one overall and he and his
dad say, guess what, not going to the Chargers. Got
to trade him not going there? Not going there? You
risk that because because this that could absolutely and because look,
Dion and Shadoor, they want what they want like they're
not They're not people who are gonna say, well you
(19:45):
go or wherever who drafts you make the best. No,
we want you to go here because this is your
best chance to succeed. And having Shador in the number
one media market in the country with a heritage team,
my goodness, the popularity he had in college football where
he was incredibly popular.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
He's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Ten times more fun with the Giants that he would
than he would be anywhere else. And yeah, other teams,
the first two teams they're gonna get really weird about
taking because they don't want to be put in that
situation where, hey, we draft Shador Sanders and Dion calls
us right after the right after we pick him, and
he says, hey, he's not coming here. Not that they
would do that, but by putting out there this is
(20:24):
our preferred destination. Really is the Giants that's gonna scare
those teams off, right. The Titans at number one, they're
already talking about potentially not taking Travis Hunter. No, when
it comes down to it, they'll take Travis Hunter at
number one. They're not gonna take one of the quarterbacks.
The Browns at number two are gonna draft cam Ward.
They like him a lot. They're gonna stay away from
Shador Sanders, and the Giants will get him at three.
(20:45):
That's how the first three picks are gonna go Hunter
number one, Ward number.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Two, and Shadorda the Giants at number three.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I am more sure about Chador to this Giants at
three than I'm about one and two, which tells you
what I think about how sure I am that that's
where he's gonna end up playing.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
You know what, I'm gonna reach out to Todd Furman.
We're not gonna get an instant response. But the next
time we we convene, I'm gonna see what you can
get as a as that as a three player parlay that. Okay,
see what we can do with that, you know, tennessee
uh GM and everybody talking about, hey, you know we
can't get you know, pass up on a generational player.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
So I don't know what that means. Number one pick?
You have the number one pick in the draft? Draft?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Right, shouldn't you be getting a generational player when you
pick number one?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Over?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
We we we use that term way too loosely, right,
way too liberally, right, all these generational guys like, no,
he's the guy this year.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I don't remember generations being defined by a single calendar year,
but I guess that's what we do now in sports.
The next draft pass. But all that to say, when
when he makes a statement like that, is like, do
you have someone in mind?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
And if so, who is it? Right?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Is it Abdul Carter? Is that a guy you'd think
he it is? Or is it the Travis Hunter? You know?
Playing both ways and depending on how utilize and what
kind of schemes you can draw up on either side
of the ball that you can really tap into what
he's been at Colorado. It we wouldn't think it was
Ward or Sanders, So it's just a curious turn of phrase.
(22:22):
Cleveland's always a wild card most of the time. They
do some pretty good things with their roster building, except
that whole Deshaun Watson thing that really just kind of
blew everything up. Now he's off the table because he
won't play this year, But what does that mean for
the draft? Are you taking a quarterback necessarily don't know?
Or are you going into the marketplace since Kirk Cousin
(22:43):
sure is hell ain't coming back to Atlanta or some
of those other quarterbacks that are out there. But yeah,
the chdur to the Giants makes a lot of sense
from a million for a million things. Maybe it'll get
Malik Neighbors to shut up because he's he's already opining
about the idea of going and play playing with Jayden Daniels. Like,
you know, Giants fans still salty over a watch in
(23:06):
sa Kwan Berkley now that they got this guy after
his rooky years, Like yeah, it's cool, I like it.
You know what, though, it would be great to play
with that guy. It's like, no, you can't have that,
honest the moment. Yet you can't do it. You're you're
you're going after people that way. But for Shador and
the world's his oyster. I'd love to see him in Tennessee,
(23:27):
uh and see them start to build. But I can
understand where where you'd say, let's push it on. Now
I don't. I don't think they part the red seas
for for the giants, but uh, the the dominoes certainly
could could fall in your way, and that would be
a nice hefty parlay I believe as it currently is constructed.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
You know, the thing is is like and Abdul Carter's
getting a lot of run, potentially his number one pick,
so you've seen the odds on him have come down
in Vegas. But that's like a pick that gets you fired.
Not that he's not a great player. Look a big
ten defensive player, ye right, the latest in the line
of great Penn State players to wear number eleven. But like,
that's a pick that if you get it wrong, you
get fired.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
But even if you.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Get it right, how many wins are you know, Like, yeah,
he's great, but you now keep building.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, if you take Travis Hunter, and he stinks it's well, okay,
what are you gonna do? This is a generational guy,
first guy to play both ways that good in college football.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Ever, like like like Charles.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Woodson wasn't that good offensively, Travis Hunt was ten times
better than Woodson was offensively.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
I played more.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
But this is a guy that can do both of
those things. If you draft him and he turns out
to be kind of a bust. Okay, he was the
consensus number one overall pick. You start getting a little
crazy go and I'm getting a little chets and I'm
gonna go.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Up doing car whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa? What are
you doing? Or what do you do? Like?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
So when it comes down to it, the teams are
gonna wind up taking the players they're supposed to, the
safe picks at one, two, three, and the Browns can't
come out of there without a quarterback. You want to
talk about guys that want to get fired. So that's
how it's gonna go. And the Giants will take Sanders
at number three. Like, I don't know any for the
latest odds.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I don't know that there's a drama. God, what do
you got?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah? For the number one pick. This is the latest
I've seen as of February fourth, cam Ward plus one
ten to be the number one overall pick, head of
Abdul Carter, ahead of Travis Hunter. That's that's just for
the number one pick. Not this is quins, but that's
where it sits. Now. Hey, I'm just giving information.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Information is free exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome.

can do really well, but nobody knows he can really

do him.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
With this level. It's Steve the Sager. He's got what
trendick question?
Speaker 5 (25:58):
We'll see, how did my defense at the offense?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
We're just gonna only on special teams. You're gonna play
only on special team.

Back to you, that's gonna be early to find out
that Ipe is gambling on sports again.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Oh no, burn inside, Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carbon all right, so
Mike and I gonna give you our our official Super
Bowl lix picks coming up in about ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
But you want to explain what the lix is for
folks that might be a little confused.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
But no, no, figure figure it out. Maybe, Oh super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Licks, Well, I mean it's Friday. Maybe you're getting a
little bit loose. I mean not on Bourbon Street, but
I mean La has been known to have a party
or two.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
What's your lix picks. I'll tell you my lix picks
coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's gonna start with Smoke on the Water, great licks
and rock history.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You know, we've spent a lot of time tonight talking
about the odds, big prop bets. You know, the last
couple of days for the Super Bowl, Super Bowl Licks,
and there is pretty much I mean, I don't know
how much of a world there is for someone outside
of Mahomes, Hurts or Barkley to win.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Super Bowl MVP.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Right, these are the three favorites and prohibitive yea, and
you know, really, how's it gonna happen?
Speaker 4 (30:24):
How's one of these other somebody else gonna win it?
But yeah, Jalen Hurts is a veritable long shot.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, yeah, like he's plus three fifty. Hey, Barkley ran
for forty three yards in a touchdown. Hurts through for
three seventy five. Barkley, Barkley, right right, Barkley, Barkley wants it.
So but if you want somebody outside of these guys,
you want a real long shot for MVP, I'm gonna
give you somebody. And wait, I'm gonna finish with the
flourish and give you the best part.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Last.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
The guy i'd look at who is plus ten thousand
right now is Dallas Goddard. Right, No, you're not even
go with Travis Kelsey. No, Dallas Goddard. Why the Chiefs
don't give up big plays. That's a big thing about
their defense. So I can see the Eagles be forced
into a kind of a mid range passing day, I
can I can see the Chiefs defense making Barkley earn
(31:13):
a lot of his yards where potentially his day is
twenty to twenty five carries for one hundred hundred and
ten yards. Right, we've seen that in the playoffs before
with Saquon Barkley, meaning that if the Eagles are gonna
move the football, they got to throw it. And like
we said, the Chiefs don't give up big plays, which
means gonna be hard for aj Brown DeVante Smith to
really break through. But Dallas Goddard is a big weapon
(31:35):
mid range passing game, he would be the guy. Right. Okay,
well you picked the tight end. Well here's the reason.
Do you know the Kansas City Chiefs are the worst
team in the NFL covering the tight end this year
because no, no, no, the team the worst to the
best team. They are second worst this year cover the
(32:00):
tight end. They've given up the second most receptions and
the most yards. So you're talking about a defense that's
really good, right, chief Dain's been really good all season long.
No matter what they do, they can't cover the tight end.
They've allowed the most yards eleven hundred and ninety one,
second most receptions.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
One hundred and six.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
So yeah, you tell me, no matter what they do,
if they impose their will on this game, tight end
can still have a big day. And if it's not
big passing numbers for hurts, not being rushing numbers for Barkley,
Dallas Goddard has one of those eight to ten catches
and hundred and twenty yards in a touchdown game, Your
plus ten thousand Dallas Goddard could be your MVP.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Look get you. You know me.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I love my lovely world and the defensive side of things.
I love three yards and a cloud of dust, and
I like defense. So I'm gonna give you a guy
from each side. Because the narratives are there, right Spagnolo
vig Fangio. One of them is gonna be a genius
Fanjo has never beaten Patrick Mahome, so that would be
a big deal. Uh, Jalen Carter, everybody's jumped on board.
(33:05):
Go back to the revisionist history of what should it
could have happened? Uh during the draft, maybe a little
bit of uh, you know, research once again of the
difference between the player and some of the off the
field stuff that allowed him to end up as part
of a really good Philadelphia defense. He's one hundred to
one on that side, Philadelphia defense, if they can get
(33:26):
after Patrick Mahomes make him look quote unquote pedestrian. And again, Uh,
a lot of this goes to the game being one
late and not being done with some dramatic, massive play
right on the offensive side. So I'm going to the defense. Uh,
the other for Kansas City, a lot of love. Uh
(33:47):
when you when you look at the defensive front, uh,
and and certainly you know you're you've got uh a
would be Hall of Famer on one side. How about
George carl Loftis Maybe it's my big ten Apollo just
side showing. So the boiler Makers, they really haven't anybody
that you've talked about since Drew Brees. One hundred and
(34:07):
forty to one for George Carl Loftis after it and
they have the big play. That's a decision maker. Look,
you've got a lot of the Kelsey's fourteen to one,
You've got the wide receivers for the Eagles, get a
little bit of love. But outside of the big three
right off the jump, the two quarterbacks in Barkley, everything
(34:29):
constitutes a long shot.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
You like, dude, you have been.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
You always pick When we talk about long shots, you
always go defense. If Richard Dent didn't win the MVP
in eighty five, you would not.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Be doing this.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Well, you give the three sacks in a forty six
to ten game, a guy with three sacks wins the MVP.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Come on, man, well they dominated? Yeah, I know they did,
but come on, they scored forty six points.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, you could have picked for Yeah, well, you know
it is. It is what it is. But it's it's
just the idea of from the offensive side. It's gonna
be really hard for someone other than those three favorites,
I mean, which is why all the betting betting lines
are what they are and the money's flowing. We talked
a lot about the Saquon Barkley anytime touchdown props and
(35:17):
everything out there that it's gonna take something special. So
why not be special? Because I like your Goddard pick,
but if he has a big day, it's still gonna
go to Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Exit up about a Fresca exit swalling down The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Harmon Liverom thetirec dot Com Studios.
What are our official picks for Super Bowl Licks that
and our favorite prop bets coming up next right here,
Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app

Speaker 1 (35:58):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
Love Froth Tireck dot Com Studios. You know, I will
say this. I didn't know this until I went and
looked at I wanted to see.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
You know, we're joking.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
We're joking about Richard Dent winning Super Bowl MVP and
the Bear scored forty six points. Obviously, the forty six defense.
That year, they set a record that I don't know
is ever going to be broken the Super Bowl. In
that year, they allowed the fewest yards rushing in a
Super Bowl game. The Patriots had eleven carries for seven yards.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Yeah they did.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Craig James is a leading ball carrier. Three carries for
four yards in that game. I don't think that's gonna
be broken. I think, no matter what kind of blowout
you get in the Super Bowl, let's face it, well,
I don't think we're that age anymore. Where Hey, one
conference just so much better that we get blowouts like
we used to get in the in the eighties and
the nineties. Even in the biggest blo I think a
team's gonna run for more than seven yards.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
I think, at least, even if it's one scrambled by
a quarterback racing for his life, mesake, one, Barkley's gonna
have more than that yard's rushing in this first carry, well,
first carry over under four and a half yards, let's go.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I love They'll dial up something good for him to
get to get the Eagles off to a good start.
You're talking about the the prop bets right there. I
like the over for Saquon Barkley's first carry over four
and a half yards.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I like that. There's your opening cell, though, I found
another one that I think you'll love. Okay, right, you
have Dallas Goddard as your long shot MVP. If you
missed any of today's show, grab the podcast Great four Hours.
Mark Medina joined us for the NBA Todd Urman with
a lot on wagering and getting ready for the Super Bowl.
Check out his bet the Board podcast as well. Wherever
(37:43):
you get your fine audio Travis Kelcey and Dallas Goddard
to combine for twelve or more receptions.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Oh, I love the over on that. Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Because I love the over on Kelsey Kelsey six and
a half. Kelsey has rested it's the Super Bowl. Mahomes
is gonna have the game on his shoulders. I like
all the overs for Mahomes. Two hundred and fifty one yards,
thirty six pass attempts. It's everything is on his show.
They're gonna throw the ball all day. I love all
the Mahomes overs. I love the Kelsey over. I love
the over for both of those, both of the tight ends.
(38:16):
All right, here's one that I think you'll really enjoy.
Each team to punt exactly two times thirteen to one.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Ooh exactly.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
I don't know that I'm that risky. So how many
times will Ariza find his way onto a under the field?
How do you like that?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
In a year where we're talking about fourth down calls
and decision making and and you know math, there's one
for you.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
All right, So time for Mike and I to give
you our picks for Super bowld licks. And I'll tell
you what, No one's gonna stop the Eagles. They're too
strong offensively. The offensive line is going to be able
to control the day. They'll be able to throw the
ball if they have to, but mainly it's Saquon Barkley's year.
And they'll be able to hammer away at the Chiefs
(39:13):
defense and score and score enough to win this game.
But more importantly, defensively, the Eagles are more than equipped
to handle the pedestrian weapons that the Chiefs have. Right,
they'll pressure Patrick Mahomes enough. The Eagles roster is just better.
It's a better roster than the Chiefs. And I get
the Chiefs own the fourth quarter. But the Eagles put
it all together. They win it twenty seven to twenty three.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
I got thirty one twenty eight Chiefs, we're in the
final two minutes. You get the drive, you get the
pass downfield, Hollywood Brown seventeen and a half take.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
All Hollywood the hero.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
But and that sets up Butker all right, last prop
bet after you're gonna have to be okay with Siriani
being a winner. That's I can't wait to talk to
you about that. I'm money now, money yellow yellow, limeer
green minus one ninety five Perl plus three seventy orange
plus nine fifty Red, pink at plus fifteen hundred, Blue
(40:14):
at plus fifteen hundred, water or clear at plus fifteen hundred.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
If the if I'm picking the Eagles to win, the
Gatorade's gonna be green.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Give me green Gatorade for the.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Eagles minus one ninety five.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Mabe.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
That means I'm at fifteen to one from my red
and pink.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Let's go.
