Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, Welcome inside final hour tonight the Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon. We'll get back into
Draymond Green and his electric comments. Following the Warriors lost
tonight in a second but first last sporting event going
on tonight and boys at a good one. Edmonton and
(00:51):
Vegas in overtime tied at four a piece. Edmonton leads
this series one game to none. They would looking to
put a stranglehold on this year. He's up to zip
going home just like the Knicks, and the Oilers get
awarded a five minute power play. Nicholas Roy cross checks
Trent Frederick. It's a game misconduct and he's out of
(01:16):
the game, and it's a five minute power play. I
find it hard to believe that McDavid and drive title,
aren't gonna find a way to dent the back of
the net in this five minute power play. Now, still
three and a half minutes left to go on it.
But man, you're talking about two of the biggest goal
scorers in the game that are gonna be on the
ice for a lot in this five minute power play. Yeah,
I gotta think Edmonton's gonna finish this game here pretty quick.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Really great job the first two minutes of the power play.
Our guy Todd Furman there.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Live, and he's gonna run on the ice. He's gonna run.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
He's there.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, he's gonna run. I can't believe you did that.
And there's a betting analyst who is run on the
ice here. Okay, we're gonna have time out while we
figure this thing out.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But thus far, a very good and concentrated effort to
kill it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Almost clear the zone here with two forty left, but
kept just in and the attack continues.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
It is really something to watch.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Tired legs over time and you get a five minute
misconduct call.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
All right, so we'll keep you posting on here. Dry
Cidle and McDavid had been off the ice and they're
gonna come back out here. I think in another it
looks like Edmonton's gonna have a line change and they'll
be back out because now you're getting about to the
two minute part of the power play, so they'll be
out here again pretty shortly. Now. The Warriors lost tonight
to the t Wolves in a game that was never
(02:36):
in doubt. Right the Tea Wolves win. Over the course
of the game, Draymond Green gets another technical foul and
he was very upset about his treatment by the official.
Steve Kerr said, he took him out of the game. Look,
the game was a runaway, the Warriors weren't winning. Steph
Curry is out, obviously he's gonna be out for another
at least two or three games. But Steve Kerr said, look,
(02:57):
I took Draymond out because I know he's getting close
to the number that would earn him an automatic suspension.
He doesn't want to play any games without Steph Curry,
much less any games without Steph and Draymond. So Draymond
gets taken out of the game, gets another T and
he was very unhappy with his treatment from the officials
and how he's viewed. This was the entirety of Draymond
(03:18):
Green's postgame press conference right after the loss look like.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The angry black man.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I'm not an angry black man.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
I'm a very successful, educated black man with a great family,
and I'm great at basketball. I'm great at what I do.
To The agenda to try to keep making me look
like an angry black man is crazy. I'm sick of
it is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, Now, a couple of quick things. One, Draymond Green
very emotional following this game. So I get it. I
get he's mad. I get he's upset. I get that
this is now the third or fourth time he has
lost his emotions in the playoffs. There's no agenda. Nobody
has an agenda against him. The officials who are black
don't have an agenda against him. The other players he's
(03:58):
playing against are black. I don't see where there's the
agenda to make him what he said. He is Draymond
Green to someone who and understand the first thing I'm
gonna tell you, Draymond can't control his emotions. Everybody else
controls their emotions. Players to an extent, they control their emotions.
I don't see anybody yelling at officials like I see
(04:20):
Draymond Green. I don't see anybody else out of control
with fouls like I see Draymond Green. Why because this
is Draymond Green's style. It has always been that little
out of control. I'm gonna amp up my teammates and
be a leader that way. This is what has made
Draymond a great player for a decade plus, right, This
is this is all that goes every NBA player, every
(04:42):
star player, has made up a different DNA and different
ways they are able to affect the game. Draymond has
always been I'm gonna take it right up to the
line and I'm gonna go over it a little bit.
I'm gonna be an antagonizer, I'm gonna be someone that
gets in the other team's head. But when it comes
down to it, yeah, there's lots of times where he
can't control his emotions. You just admitted to it after
(05:03):
Game six against the Rockets, where he told his teammates, look,
I'm sorry, that was my fault. That's not gonna happen again.
I understand what I'm doing. So okay, he knows this,
he knows that he can't that he has trouble controlling
his emotions. Everybody would say nobody is saying that's not Draymond.
Draymond's being picked on unfairly. Yeah, when you do this
for a decade, teams are gonna know and officials are
(05:25):
gonna know. This is Draymond's act and when you go
over the line, this is how we're gonna act to it.
And we're not gonna let you come in and dictate
play that is over the line. We're gonna officiate this
so the games don't get out of control. Now, once
in a while, does Draymond get a call that maybe
his his reputation, Yeah, absolutely, because that happens with lots
of players, right, the flopping that Jokic has, the flopping
(05:46):
we've seen for Lebron. You see that sometimes calls are made,
sometimes calls aren't. But for the vast majority, I can't
for a second tell you, oh, Draymond is misunderstood, you
know Draymond. No, Draymond is someone who is his His
emotions have always tended to get at the best of him.
This is when he gets technical fouls when he come
it's flagrant fouls. You got to look within for that.
Now I get your upset and and and you want
(06:08):
to turn the attention outwards. But honestly, I don't think
there's anybody that can say, yeah, Draymond's misunderstood.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I think part of it is the you play into
the reputation until it doesn't benefit you, right, And for Draymond,
you know, part of what is made in a superstar. Yeah,
winning and being a part of the Warriors, you know,
you elevate him to a whole other level, right, because
you look at him as an individual, and some have
been dismissive of him, and I can't tell him how
(06:34):
to feel.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
It's the old mantra and something that you know I'd
taken to the personal life and certainly here. And you
don't go out of your way to be cruel or
or to get after people or whatever. But sometimes when
you give people an honest answer to a question, they're
going to get either offended, sad, mad, whatever the reaction is.
(06:55):
I can't tell you how you're going to take the
information that's given back to you. And for drama, if
that's how he feels, I can't tell him how to feel. Now,
I can tell you my perspective outside looking in of
what we're talking about. You talked about all the demographic
stuff when you come to the NBA players, the referee
Tony Brothers, who is the one that escalated the call
(07:18):
right and went to the video review after the interaction
with nasried tonight, you just have a compounded view of
Draymond Green. We could do a fifteen to twenty. We
could do a full thirty for thirty on Draymond Green
and calls that you could could have made or or did.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
We can make a three hundred three hundred right, Well,
but I'm just.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Saying right like, there's for all the times he's called
for it and he gets the whistle and he gets
the technical fall, there's three to five at a minimum
that it's like, all right, guys, calm down, all right,
Draymond calmed down.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
We were talking about it.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Even going back to Game one, there were at least
two or three incidents. Is like why why hasn't he
been teed up? And then when it continues like all right,
that gets you ejected sometimes and I get you. It's
the playoffs and you're gonna have a longer leash and
you know.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
The the fuse, I should say.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Right, the longer burn before you know the official might
actually tee him up.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
But here the arm gets up in the head and neck.
That's not reputation, that's video. That is a video review,
that is, by.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
The letter of the law, what they're supposed to call,
and that that's not a singling you out. If it
came down to another player, you'd get the same thing.
So for for Draymond Green, yeah, the reputation has made
you a legend.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
The legend.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
It's also gotten you a gotten calls in your benefit
as a star and as a winner in the league.
But certainly, if you want to be mad about it,
or in your case it's the brilliant in turn right
that he's going to work the officials and everybody else
with his comments post game, then that's all fine and
(09:07):
good too. You can be cerebral, you can be successful,
you can be a great basketball player, and you can
be a little out of control and angry at the
same time. But to make it a racial thing is
certainly he can do that. Certainly he took the opportunity
(09:28):
to throw that out there and challenge anybody to come
back on him. But there's no denying how out of
control he gets in these situations, and certainly in this case,
I mean, do the elapse time.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
What is it two.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Minutes stalking the court before Steph Curry is able to
get him back to the bench. It's a bad look,
and you put the officials in a terrible spot and
your teammates and your coach and everybody else.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I've got to pull you out of a game. Now.
Was it a winnable game at that point?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Maybe maybe not, But you abdicate any opportunity to do
so because you've got to protect them from getting two
more technicals.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Come on, you gotta look in the mirror on that one.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
The other part is this, Okay, why does Draymond Green.
Let's say, Draymond Green get singled out for this more
than any other player? Okay, why he courts this? Draymond
Green courts this the attention from the officials, the attention
from the other team every time he steps on the floor. Right, teams,
(10:32):
no getting on the floor. Draymond Green's gonna be the agitator.
We have to match his agitation level. We're not gonna
let him get away with stuff and physically dominate the
game and physically dictate things. So yeah, other teams are
gonna feel that way, and the officials know you court
this because you get in my face and yell at
me all the time. Yeah, it's not like Draymond Green's
(10:54):
a guy who all I don't understand, like the guys
in the WWE that would wait till the referee was turned,
hits a buddy with a foreign object and the referee
turns around and goes, eh, what not me? I didn't
do anything. Oh I didn't say anything. Yeah, no, not
a Now Draymond absolutely visibly and publicly courts this attention
with his behavior. So how can you sit here and say, oh, yeah,
(11:15):
they're portraying me this one way, when when I go
out of my way to make sure this is part
of who I am, This is what makes up the
player I am. Like, none of what he says makes sense, right,
I mean, I want to see everything from his perspective.
But you know, there's there's the angle we're gonna get
to coming up later on that maybe this is all
(11:36):
a big mind game by him going into the next
few games. But you know, judging it by by face value,
what he's saying after the game, how he's feeling, I
don't see as a leg to stand on anywhere on it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
No, and I think you're invoking of the WWE as
apt He's been a performer, right, whether it's on his
podcast saying provocative things, or on the court trying to
play head.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Games, get a get little physical.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
See if he can't get the retaliatory call right, because
that's what you always get the response. So if I
can get you, you know, off the block and knock you,
you know, with a little extra physicality, you might come
back with something that gets you a technical or gets
you tossed from a game.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Draymond Green, that's been since he was at Michigan State.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
That's been the guy he has been, and that's where
he's won on the margins and become, to my thinking,
one of the greats of these last twenty five years
that we're watching. Doesn't have to light up the scoreboard
and give you box score, checking checking all of that.
It's like he's a guy that affects games and affects
(12:43):
the mentality of opponents because maybe you're not coming into
the lane because you're fearing that you're gonna get bodied up,
and certainly you're gonna hear about it for the next
forty minutes thereafter. So it's it's one of those things.
It's his greatest strength. But in this case, I think
he did shout a little too loudly in a nonsensical way.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Exit. How about a Fresca exit, swollen dome Jason Smith,
Mike Carmon. Again, there is the possibility that Draymond has
a completely different reasoning for saying what he said, saying
what he did, which we'll get to coming up in
a bit. But right here off that again, he's not
right about any of this, not at all. Now, quick update,
how we started a few minutes ago, I said, no
(13:28):
way Edmonton doesn't win this game with dry Sidle and
McDavid on a five minute power play. Well, the five
minute power play has come and gone. No goal for
the Oilers. They came close to denting the back of
the net with just a couple of seconds left. In fact,
McDavid put his arms in the air, thought the puck
was in the net set Not so. The Golden Knights
(13:48):
and the Oilers play on tied four apiece, seven minutes
to go in overtime. I will keep you updated on
this game again. We'll have more on Draymond, but straight ahead,
we get back into what is, without a doubt, the
biggest story the day, both in sports and outside of it.
Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
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.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I am the man in the suitcase.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
We will get to the biggest story both in sports
and out of it from today in a second. But
I turned out to be right. I was just I
needed like eight minutes to be right.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Oh they did kill that penalty.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
They did.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
We'll always have that. Look.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
The night in sports is over Edmonton and Vegas. A
five minute major penalty was called on the Golden Knights
cross checking and clearly it was game misconduct. I said,
there's no way McDavid and dry settle, two best offensive
players in the NHL. They go five minutes, they don't
score a goal. They're gonna make it and this is
(15:00):
going to be an Oilers win. Now, the Golden Knights
kill off this five minute power play, which shock upon shocks.
But what did it take out of them because a
couple of minutes after it ended, just a couple minutes
before the end of overtime, Connor McDavid and dry Sidle
break in two on two and McDavid just puts a
(15:21):
move on the defenseman that was Hollywood and wolf Man
from from top Gun. Where do you go? Hollywood said,
where do you go? McDavid just jukes, and now it's
a two to on one. He makes a great pass
to dry Title out of the out of the u
the range of motion of the other defenseman stick dry
(15:42):
Sidle buries it and Edmonton beats the Golden Knights five
to four. Is the game. They now go back to
Edmonton up two games to none, much like the Knicks
their home up two games and none against the Celtics,
which is the whole reason for doing this, so I
could compare what the Oilers doing to what the Knicks
doing to the Celtics. There we go.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, you had a couple of rushes from from.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
The Knights where it's like, all right, even though it's.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Been a dominated obviously with the five minute power play
and and tired legs and and almost clearances, because there
there were a couple of the all right, we're gonna
get a chance to breathe.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
No, you're not.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Bucks coming right back in and you see the safe
sign from the referee and you can almost see the
spirit leave some of the Knights players. And then finally,
uh that that last rush man that McDavid move is
is one. I want to add that on a sport
Flix tree.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Spelled I E C H E L. I mean it's
I mean, it's it's not like, oh was that Jack
Eichel that he was something, Oh my god, because it
wasn't even like one of those dipsy doodle moves or
this is one of those quick I'm gonna get literally roadkill.
I'm gonna get you with my hips and I'm by you.
Oh I didn't know that was Jack Ikele. Oh wow, okay,
(17:02):
then I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
David all right, So it's just I haven't figured out
how justin.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
But I think you're right.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I mean, you don't think this is the NHL. Oh
my god, we gotta get this guy his first Stanley Cup.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I don't know about that really was just a little
bit of.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You think then I think the NHL wants the Oilers
in the Stanley Cup final.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Come on, they want to win one. Oh, of course
they do.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
But I like, did they really want Edmonton and the
fin mean, come on, man, you sure as hell don't
want the Kings back. They want Dallas in the final,
right you? And Nico Harrison wants Dallas in the final? Hey,
can you stop talking about our failures. Let's just talk
about another team in the playoffs doing well? Can we
do that? Thanks? There?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Have they cleaned the up yet from then?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I don't know, man, well, because so I couldn't tell
that that was ill. Oh my goodness, that's well. You know,
look Jack, I will not know for his defensive prowess.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Well, I like the O a kind.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Of uh stumping a half ass stick my stick towards
McDavid and maybe had glanced the fuck away.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I mean he made him look like a beer leaguer
he did.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I mean really, it's just one of those big, big
hip moves, all the the motion that he has, and
it was Echel was just done like it was just
I need to give you something quick because I got
to keep the play going. If I if I give
you too much of a move, then I'm gonna lose
the two on one. So it was a quick move.
With his hips to think I'm gonna go wide, I'm
coming back into the inside, and he kept the two
(18:37):
on one with dry title. I mean that the NBA man.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
He put him on a poster.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, McDavid went like this. I went like this. Hollywood said,
where did he go?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
That's the killer crossover. Good man, great googly moogli Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Meanwhile, the biggest story in sports and outside of sports
today comes to us courtesy of Mike Harmon, who was
not in Chicago for this reason, but as glad he
is there in the mobile Fox Sports Radio studios because
the new Pope, Pope Leo, was named today. The white
smoke came up and he is from Chicago. And again
I keep going back to the Watchman. Superman is here
(19:14):
and he is American. The Pope is named and he
is American. For the first time in two hundred and
sixty seven popes, we have an American pope and he's
from Chicago, and.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
He's a Socks fan, as verified by his brother in
an interview on WGN TV. So all things pointing up, Harmon,
I mean, I'm going rough shot. I am gonna bet
a parlay at Parlays. Wait, I probably shouldn't do that
while invoking the Pope. Should I all of that to
say that, you know, it's happy days for the Pope.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Here's what I think in my in game here, I'd
like to take that. I think that the Warriors are
gonna cover this right here because it's twenty five points
and they're down by twenty. So in game I'll take
the Warriors here, my son.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah, I'm not sure how.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I wow, you're really invoking the old Mike North bookie
priest to bet on a whole other level. I don't
know what the endgame betting was on this one. The
pregame was ten and a half. I'm sure it did
get out to twenty five twenty six.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
The Vatican check nicely calling.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
The Vatican for numbers. Hey, hello, this is the Vatican. Yeah, listen,
what's the over under for Jalen Brunson points in game three?
I saw twenty eight and a half could be long. Hey,
let me get the pope for you.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I had a twenty eight and a half, but this
guy's going crazy. He's gonna be up at thirty, so
you better get it now.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I'm gonna I sign virtually stepping back. Yeah, Adam my Son. Yeah,
you've been hitting up the old YouTube again chat. But
all of that to say, you're going to hell.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Come on, man, the pope is a Swiss, So what
grew up in the South side of Chicago's a white
he likes Wordle and the White Sox like okay, man,
all right.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, there were a bunch of rumors going around that
he was a Cubs fan, so that really got drew
the ire of of course they have all this, they
have all.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
That, like, no, no, no, no, one of us.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
You're on the cubs official account, tried to take credit for.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Screw Sandberg and Dawson and Sudcliffe and all those guys. Right,
I'm on the south Side with Perzinski and Kenerko and all. Yeah,
gimme black Jack McDowell, sure, give me, give me Britt Burns,
let me get some ron karkaeweis in here though, I'm
that's my team. Forget about the Cubs.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Bother them, little Floyd Banister while you're at it, dob
gerne Er, Bruce Soonter, forget about those guys. H Bolouzinsky
greater than Bold Durham.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Now to take it. You know the sports is.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Actually wait, on Durham. For those thinking I was invoking
the movie.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Uh, it was kind of a little bit like because
it came out in the second day that we found
out who the pope was. So it's kind of a
little bit like Draft Day, like the think they all
like you think, all the cardinals, they all pulled out
that piece of paper that said, uh, you know, Pope
Leo no matter what, like the Vonte mag no matter what,
Pope Leo.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
No.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Okay, poa, this is too And this is a very
quick Pope Leo anointing, like usually it goes at least
a few days before we get a new pope.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, I'm going back and find finding the history here one.
I mean, yes, it's fast. Normally you're looking at a
week process week w E e K. For those that
might might have thought other but talking about the betting
odds were pretty pretty hefty. Uh, there's a couple of
(22:39):
tickets and claiming that they came off a thousand dollars
bet with a sixty three thousand dollars profit.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
About that.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Just want to let you know how much money you
can make on this.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Here you go implied odds for fewer than two percent
probability or less than two percent probability that he would
be named pope.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
So you're talking about a huge.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Less than two really less than two percent. Well, and
this is why look for more movies like Conclave. It
turned out to be the right movie at the right
time because we got to see Hollywood is always at
its best in certain movies where they can tell you
the story about something that you have a little bit
(23:27):
of knowledge of but not a working knowledge of, right,
that's always a big sweet spot. Or I can tell
you about something in history that you kind of know
about but you don't really know about. And that's again,
that's such a sweet spot for Hollywood. And Conclave, which
honestly best movie the year last year until the last
twenty minutes, right, which we'll get to. But Conclaves showing
you this is the process in which the pope is
(23:50):
is a selected And yeah, were there dramatic licenses taken?
Sure there were, you know, I mean you, but the hey,
the movie was told here, we get in, we talk
about different people and know that there's there's a conversation, Hey,
I like this guy, you should like this guy more.
We can't allow this guy to be Pope this guy,
(24:12):
can't he have he would do X, Y and Z
with his influence, with the position, I would do this.
So it's very political, but it's religious, right, and no
one really knows. We know that, Okay, the cardinals go
in and they somehow select the pope. But seeing conclave
like that, the reason that movie cut through is because
this gave you a process which we kind of know about.
(24:32):
We know that there's a conclave and they go inside
and they come out and they selected a new pope.
But I think most of us have had the vision
that it's a bunch of you know, the cardinals sit
around and go, yes, this is a very good candidate. Yes,
my son, Yes he's also very good all all this, Yes,
what do you think? I think this and not the
case at all? Right, you watched Stanley Tucci. We can't
let Liftcal be the pope. He's gotta go be Dumbledore. No,
(24:53):
look kind of I'm not doing anything bad.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I'd want him.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
He loved Dumbledore in the Pope.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Stanley Tucci then gets mad and Ray decides, no, I
want to get some of this, even though I'm not
that guy. Like it was great to see that inner
workings of it because that plays into I think the
popularity of this selection of the New Pope now because
people got to see the movie. I'm sure there's a
big spike in the movie the last few days.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
There has been.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
It's been yeah, put on more platforms probably the last
two weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And I'm telling you, the last twenty minutes, it's like,
it's my Training Day rule, right. Training Day was one
of the top five movies I've seen in my life
until the last twenty minutes, where, uh, you really have
to do this, and you know, Denzel's got to have
his moment. And I'm like, boy, if you had ended
it with the bathtub scene and go, oh my god,
that's one of the top really top five.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Movie ever since, then, how would Jake shoot him in
the ass?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Well, we would have to deal without that, we'd have
to go without that.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
You can't do it without that.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
You could do it without that. Yeah, I mean, Denzel
his best performance. He's so incredibly good in this, but
now he's got to have a moment. We're telling the
story this way.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
It's like, uh, that scene ties it to get like
the Dude's rug and the Big.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Lebowski and the dude Hey the Big Lebowski leaves you
up in the air. Do they win? Do they make
the finals? I mean we need big Lebowski too to
find out what happened in the finals.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
You never make a number two when number one's a masterpiece.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I really hope they make the finals. But like the
way the Conclave went into the last the last twenty minutes,
going Okay, I get the messaging they were going for,
but okay, now we can talk about because the movie's
been out a while, Like, Okay, a guy that no
one even knew what his credentials were going in suddenly
now he's you know, he's the guy they select, like really,
And they do such a big job of outside of
(26:38):
showing you all these bad things that are happening outside
of the Conclave, right, like the the different bombings that
went off, and you're like, wow, what is happening outside
of this? And I'm so enraptured by this movie, And
then all we're going to get to me and I
get what they were going for. I understand it, right.
I think it's a positive message. I think it's a
great message they're going for, and about acceptance and and
(26:58):
and and the the Office of the Pope and going forward.
But wow, they set up this this entire nail biting,
you know, process, and to say, okay, we're now we're
just gonna go away from it, and hey, yeah this
is the selection. It kind of took me out of
the movie a little bit, right, and I felt like
the way the last twenty minutes sort of really took
away from that. Otherwise I would have said, clearly best
(27:21):
movie of the year last year, best movie of the year,
and one hundred percent. Instead the best movie was Jesse
Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I mean that was a pain had me from start
to finish.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
When I saw that, I said, that's the best movie
of the year. That's absolutely outstanding, top to bottom. Yes,
Kieran Culkin is playing the same character he's played in
succession other things, but he's doing it really, really well.
And again the sweet spots story of hey, we're touring
Poland and people know about Poland and you know, kind
of have a knowledge of what happened in World War
Two a little bit. But here's a tour of the
of the country and showing you what some of the
(27:54):
areas were like and what one of the concentration Camps
was like and it was heavy, and it was and
it was enrapturing, and like that's I mean, that's where
Hollywood gets into that sweet spot of it and that
that was you know, that wound up being the best movie.
The same thing with Conclave again except the last Jasons.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
If you don't get that twenty minute ending in Conclave,
you would have never gotten this. Hope Leo the fourteenth,
I mean, come on now.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
No, I like that. I wanted to see this way.
Play play the song, play there Amerson Lake and Palmer
song again, because this is what I wanted to say.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
Got hope Leo the fourteenth had Pope after thirteen others
had his name, a five nine cardinal from Peru.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Poe please, well, yeah, but he did in Peru. You
gotta kind of give his thing. Listen, there's many more
important people from Villanova in the news this week than
Pope Leo.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Also one of the Saint John's.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Pope Leo was like the fourth most important person from
Villanova in the news this week. Bruntson is number one,
Bridge is number two, Josh Hart is number three, Then
you have Pope Leo. Then fourth is last year's Dante DiVincenzo.
Not this year, last year's de Vincenzo. You got three
guys bigger than the this week already.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Leo the fourteenth, also invoking memories of the Grand Slam hitting.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Or I should say, the home run hitting Paul Canerko.
I mean, come on, we've got a statue for him.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Okay, no, you got a statue. But Villa, I mean Villanova.
You think, Okay, Brunson Bridge, you think about the commercial,
you think about Charlie Poothson Due, they're up to this
guy dope. Yeah, it's it's close. It's kind of a
big deal. It's a big deal. Yeah, but Knicks are
up to nothing. What's more shocking that we have a
new pope or the Knicks are up to zip? Nicks
up to zip.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
No that this guy was a sixty to one long shot.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
No, no, but you knew we were getting a pope,
like you knew them the announce. Yeah, but I mean
it was a lot quicker than Chicago guy White Sox.
I mean, come on, that's a parlay of all parlays.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Keep it down, mel Kaifer.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I can't believe Shador saying there's these people for fifty years.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
They have no idea what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Exit out, bout of Fresco, Exit Swallow Dome. The Jason

The Oilers Radio network, they defeat the Golden Knights. As
you heard five four and overtime. You called it dry
Sidle was gonna do it. He just didn't do it.
In the power play, Yeah, you called it. You called
just a couple of minutes later, but you were right
on the money. The Capitals have even their series after
defeating the Hurricanes three to one in their Game two.
The Timberwolves have even the series against the Warriors. One
seventeen to ninety three was the final score. Julius Randall
(31:41):
led the way with twenty four points. Anthony Edwards did
exit the game in the second quarter with the left
ankle injury. Returned for the second half, ended with twenty
points and nine rebounds.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
In baseball, Dodgers ace Yoshinobu.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
Yamamoto giving up a season high six hits, including the
grand slam to Gabriel Moreno. The Diamondbacks outscored the Dodgers
five to three. The Philly has completed a three games
sweep of the Rays with a seven to six win
and ten innings. The Braves walked it off against the
Reds five four and eleven innings thanks to Ricky Drake Baldwin,
who was pinch hitting and had the RBI single, and
the Blue Jays snapped their four game losing streak with

Okay, just much Bot. We'll see you tomorrow, but seriously,
you give your credit card. Coming up next, Draymond Green
lit the world on fire with what he said following
the Warriors loss tonight. However, was it a little bit
deeper and did he have an ulterior motive in mind
(33:34):
when he said what he did? That's next Jason and
Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My Best
Friend Mike Harmon, who's getting set to have a white
smoke milkshake at the Chicago White Sox game tomorrow. I mean,
right away, a big white smoked milkshake. Get it like
it looks like his dry ice coming out of it,
and it's all a big white smoke shit.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Get ready, it's going to be a beautiful day.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
We get the day two of the Barrett Media Conference,
including you know, some early morning coffee runs and then
a nice long walk in the cold, and then off
we go.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Patent pending white smoke shake, patent pending, patent pending, patent pending.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Gotta have it.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
How would you make that? How would you execute that?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
It would be a milkshake and it would be with
vanilla ice cream, and I would have some way where
you would have it look like it was you know,
you'd have like the dry ice effect where it's coming
out of it. Yeah, that's how you do white smoke
whit white smoke shake.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Well, because you know, that is the last couple of
years where the White Sox have hung their proverbial hat
on the greatness of the milkshake offerings.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I mean, White White Sox. White smoke Pope is from Chicago,
White Sox fan patent pending, like I can make all
kinds of money, just like getting three percent from whatever
the White Sox do at.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yeah, because last last year's was the campfire milkshake that
had everybody excited, basically some'mores in a glass. This one
is uh, oh what do they call him?
Speaker 4 (35:13):
This one?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I don't even know what the name of it is.
It just looks like a giant pinwheel.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
That milkshake only brings one hundred people to the yard.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
And you know what, tomorrow is a Harry Potter night,
so there will be people.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
So Jason, you're going, oh, absolutely, yes, I'm dressing his Dumbledore.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
You know, I had just celebration cake shake, by the way,
the celebration cake shake.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
So we talked about Draymond Green and his incendiary comments
following the Warriors lost tonight to the Timberwolves. Gets another
technical foul, Steve Kerr takes him out of the game
before he can get another one because he's only a
couple away from a mandatory suspension, which you know, Steve
Kurt doesn't want to play a game without Draymond Green
in the playoffs. Draymond not happy and said this following
(36:00):
the game tonight. This is the entirety of Draymond Green's
postgame press conference. This is all you're gonna hear. He
said this, and he walked away, and suddenly now we
are dealing with a lot of fallout from it. Now.
Earlier in the show, we talked about how dream and look.
I disagree with everything Draymond says about this. He's turning
himself into a victim. However, there is a different side
(36:22):
of this that I want to open the possibility to.
So listen to Draymond first, and then you hear my
second take.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
Look like the angry black man.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
I'm not an angry black man.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
I'm a very successful, educated black man with a great family,
and I'm great at basketball.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
I'm great at what I do.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
To The agenda to try to keep making me look
like an angry black man is crazy.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I'm sick of it. Is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Okay, he has no leg to stand on. No one's
saying anything about his family, about his talent, about his success.
No one has an agenda against him. Hear emotions run
out of control. You court this, you yell at the officials.
You've been a borderline dirty player. Since you came into
the league. It's what makes you who you are and
what makes you a great basketball player. Now that being said,
(37:08):
Draymond Green is really smart, and coming off this game,
all of a sudden, the Warriors have lost momentum. They
were up one zip coming into Game two, and they
lose Pillar at a post right. Game was never close.
They're not going to have Steph Curry for at least
the next couple of games. And Draymond Green's okay, how
do I help my team out here? Number one? I
(37:30):
say something like this, and this becomes the topic of
conversation next couple of days. My teammates don't have to
worry about answering questions about how do you play without Steph?
How do you get back into this? What do you
think about? How can you guard? And Edwards? How is all?
And you don't get any of it? And it's all
about Draymond. Draymond's got big shoulders. I can handle this controversy,
and I take the pressure off of my teammates kind
(37:52):
of like when you see a head coach say a
lot of things in a postgame press conference, because that
makes the storyline about him and the players can kind
of Rea group. Also, Draymond knows if I say this,
I'm only two fouls away from getting a big time
suspension which is gonna cost me and probably cost my
team the series. So I say this and put this
(38:13):
out there, and I make the officials scared to give
me another tee or call another flagrant on me because
they know you do this. And I'm telling you, you're
feeding into a narrative that is unfair and gonna put
me out of the playoffs. I dare you to call
these fouls on me now that I've put this narrative
out there, hoping that the officials will sit there and say, ooh,
(38:35):
that could have been over the line. No common foul
on here. I'm not gonna whistle you for the flagrant,
not gonna get you one closer to a suspension, not
going to give you a tea here because you put
this out there now, I'm a little scared, little gun
shy of calling that kind of foul on you. I
will absolutely throw it out there that this is what
Draymond Green is trying to accomplish with what he said
after the game, simply because you take that at face
(38:57):
value and it doesn't make any sense and he has
no life to stand on.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Well, I was gonna say, Jordan Poole's head neck area
would disagree, sure, not being angry, and you wouldn't like
me when I'm angry.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
All of that For Draymond Green, you know, I can't
tell you how to feel, and he's gonna use it.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
As an angle.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
We had Mike out in Jacksonville throughout the Well, some
of it is Dennis Rodman like tactics. Right, I'm gonna
get in your head. I'm gonna see where I can
push the boundary. We were just watching some hockey go
back to the greats like Darius Casparitis, who would do
everything to goad you into dropping the gloves and getting
after it, and you were always the more important player
(39:39):
on the ice to be lost for the five. So
all of that I mean for Draymond calculated. Yeah, this case,
I wish he would have chosen his words and created
a different narrative. But if he wanted to go to
the extreme and get the reaction, he's certainly gonna earn
it over this next twenty four to forty eight hours
(40:00):
and we'll see how the Warriors respond.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
When next on the court.

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, Welcome inside final hour tonight the Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon. We'll get back into
Draymond Green and his electric comments. Following the Warriors lost
tonight in a second but first last sporting event going
on tonight and boys at a good one. Edmonton and
(00:51):
Vegas in overtime tied at four a piece. Edmonton leads
this series one game to none. They would looking to
put a stranglehold on this year. He's up to zip
going home just like the Knicks, and the Oilers get
awarded a five minute power play. Nicholas Roy cross checks
Trent Frederick. It's a game misconduct and he's out of
(01:16):
the game, and it's a five minute power play. I
find it hard to believe that McDavid and drive title,
aren't gonna find a way to dent the back of
the net in this five minute power play. Now, still
three and a half minutes left to go on it.
But man, you're talking about two of the biggest goal
scorers in the game that are gonna be on the
ice for a lot in this five minute power play. Yeah,
I gotta think Edmonton's gonna finish this game here pretty quick.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Really great job the first two minutes of the power play.
Our guy Todd Furman there.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Live, and he's gonna run on the ice. He's gonna run.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
He's there.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, he's gonna run. I can't believe you did that.
And there's a betting analyst who is run on the
ice here. Okay, we're gonna have time out while we
figure this thing out.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But thus far, a very good and concentrated effort to
kill it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Almost clear the zone here with two forty left, but
kept just in and the attack continues.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
It is really something to watch.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Tired legs over time and you get a five minute
misconduct call.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
All right, so we'll keep you posting on here. Dry
Cidle and McDavid had been off the ice and they're
gonna come back out here. I think in another it
looks like Edmonton's gonna have a line change and they'll
be back out because now you're getting about to the
two minute part of the power play, so they'll be
out here again pretty shortly. Now. The Warriors lost tonight
to the t Wolves in a game that was never
(02:36):
in doubt. Right the Tea Wolves win. Over the course
of the game, Draymond Green gets another technical foul and
he was very upset about his treatment by the official.
Steve Kerr said, he took him out of the game. Look,
the game was a runaway, the Warriors weren't winning. Steph
Curry is out, obviously he's gonna be out for another
at least two or three games. But Steve Kerr said, look,
(02:57):
I took Draymond out because I know he's getting close
to the number that would earn him an automatic suspension.
He doesn't want to play any games without Steph Curry,
much less any games without Steph and Draymond. So Draymond
gets taken out of the game, gets another T and
he was very unhappy with his treatment from the officials
and how he's viewed. This was the entirety of Draymond
(03:18):
Green's postgame press conference right after the loss look like.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The angry black man.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I'm not an angry black man.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
I'm a very successful, educated black man with a great family,
and I'm great at basketball. I'm great at what I do.
To The agenda to try to keep making me look
like an angry black man is crazy. I'm sick of
it is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, Now, a couple of quick things. One, Draymond Green
very emotional following this game. So I get it. I
get he's mad. I get he's upset. I get that
this is now the third or fourth time he has
lost his emotions in the playoffs. There's no agenda. Nobody
has an agenda against him. The officials who are black
don't have an agenda against him. The other players he's
(03:58):
playing against are black. I don't see where there's the
agenda to make him what he said. He is Draymond
Green to someone who and understand the first thing I'm
gonna tell you, Draymond can't control his emotions. Everybody else
controls their emotions. Players to an extent, they control their emotions.
I don't see anybody yelling at officials like I see
(04:20):
Draymond Green. I don't see anybody else out of control
with fouls like I see Draymond Green. Why because this
is Draymond Green's style. It has always been that little
out of control. I'm gonna amp up my teammates and
be a leader that way. This is what has made
Draymond a great player for a decade plus, right, This
is this is all that goes every NBA player, every
(04:42):
star player, has made up a different DNA and different
ways they are able to affect the game. Draymond has
always been I'm gonna take it right up to the
line and I'm gonna go over it a little bit.
I'm gonna be an antagonizer, I'm gonna be someone that
gets in the other team's head. But when it comes
down to it, yeah, there's lots of times where he
can't control his emotions. You just admitted to it after
(05:03):
Game six against the Rockets, where he told his teammates, look,
I'm sorry, that was my fault. That's not gonna happen again.
I understand what I'm doing. So okay, he knows this,
he knows that he can't that he has trouble controlling
his emotions. Everybody would say nobody is saying that's not Draymond.
Draymond's being picked on unfairly. Yeah, when you do this
for a decade, teams are gonna know and officials are
(05:25):
gonna know. This is Draymond's act and when you go
over the line, this is how we're gonna act to it.
And we're not gonna let you come in and dictate
play that is over the line. We're gonna officiate this
so the games don't get out of control. Now, once
in a while, does Draymond get a call that maybe
his his reputation, Yeah, absolutely, because that happens with lots
of players, right, the flopping that Jokic has, the flopping
(05:46):
we've seen for Lebron. You see that sometimes calls are made,
sometimes calls aren't. But for the vast majority, I can't
for a second tell you, oh, Draymond is misunderstood, you
know Draymond. No, Draymond is someone who is his His
emotions have always tended to get at the best of him.
This is when he gets technical fouls when he come
it's flagrant fouls. You got to look within for that.
Now I get your upset and and and you want
(06:08):
to turn the attention outwards. But honestly, I don't think
there's anybody that can say, yeah, Draymond's misunderstood.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I think part of it is the you play into
the reputation until it doesn't benefit you, right, And for Draymond,
you know, part of what is made in a superstar. Yeah,
winning and being a part of the Warriors, you know,
you elevate him to a whole other level, right, because
you look at him as an individual, and some have
been dismissive of him, and I can't tell him how
(06:34):
to feel.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
It's the old mantra and something that you know I'd
taken to the personal life and certainly here. And you
don't go out of your way to be cruel or
or to get after people or whatever. But sometimes when
you give people an honest answer to a question, they're
going to get either offended, sad, mad, whatever the reaction is.
(06:55):
I can't tell you how you're going to take the
information that's given back to you. And for drama, if
that's how he feels, I can't tell him how to feel. Now,
I can tell you my perspective outside looking in of
what we're talking about. You talked about all the demographic
stuff when you come to the NBA players, the referee
Tony Brothers, who is the one that escalated the call
(07:18):
right and went to the video review after the interaction
with nasried tonight, you just have a compounded view of
Draymond Green. We could do a fifteen to twenty. We
could do a full thirty for thirty on Draymond Green
and calls that you could could have made or or did.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
We can make a three hundred three hundred right, Well,
but I'm just.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Saying right like, there's for all the times he's called
for it and he gets the whistle and he gets
the technical fall, there's three to five at a minimum
that it's like, all right, guys, calm down, all right,
Draymond calmed down.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
We were talking about it.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Even going back to Game one, there were at least
two or three incidents. Is like why why hasn't he
been teed up? And then when it continues like all right,
that gets you ejected sometimes and I get you. It's
the playoffs and you're gonna have a longer leash and
you know.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
The the fuse, I should say.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Right, the longer burn before you know the official might
actually tee him up.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
But here the arm gets up in the head and neck.
That's not reputation, that's video. That is a video review,
that is, by.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
The letter of the law, what they're supposed to call,
and that that's not a singling you out. If it
came down to another player, you'd get the same thing.
So for for Draymond Green, yeah, the reputation has made
you a legend.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
The legend.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
It's also gotten you a gotten calls in your benefit
as a star and as a winner in the league.
But certainly, if you want to be mad about it,
or in your case it's the brilliant in turn right
that he's going to work the officials and everybody else
with his comments post game, then that's all fine and
(09:07):
good too. You can be cerebral, you can be successful,
you can be a great basketball player, and you can
be a little out of control and angry at the
same time. But to make it a racial thing is
certainly he can do that. Certainly he took the opportunity
(09:28):
to throw that out there and challenge anybody to come
back on him. But there's no denying how out of
control he gets in these situations, and certainly in this case,
I mean, do the elapse time.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
What is it two.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Minutes stalking the court before Steph Curry is able to
get him back to the bench. It's a bad look,
and you put the officials in a terrible spot and
your teammates and your coach and everybody else.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I've got to pull you out of a game. Now.
Was it a winnable game at that point?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Maybe maybe not, But you abdicate any opportunity to do
so because you've got to protect them from getting two
more technicals.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Come on, you gotta look in the mirror on that one.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
The other part is this, Okay, why does Draymond Green.
Let's say, Draymond Green get singled out for this more
than any other player? Okay, why he courts this? Draymond
Green courts this the attention from the officials, the attention
from the other team every time he steps on the floor. Right, teams,
(10:32):
no getting on the floor. Draymond Green's gonna be the agitator.
We have to match his agitation level. We're not gonna
let him get away with stuff and physically dominate the
game and physically dictate things. So yeah, other teams are
gonna feel that way, and the officials know you court
this because you get in my face and yell at
me all the time. Yeah, it's not like Draymond Green's
(10:54):
a guy who all I don't understand, like the guys
in the WWE that would wait till the referee was turned,
hits a buddy with a foreign object and the referee
turns around and goes, eh, what not me? I didn't
do anything. Oh I didn't say anything. Yeah, no, not
a Now Draymond absolutely visibly and publicly courts this attention
with his behavior. So how can you sit here and say, oh, yeah,
(11:15):
they're portraying me this one way, when when I go
out of my way to make sure this is part
of who I am, This is what makes up the
player I am. Like, none of what he says makes sense, right,
I mean, I want to see everything from his perspective.
But you know, there's there's the angle we're gonna get
to coming up later on that maybe this is all
(11:36):
a big mind game by him going into the next
few games. But you know, judging it by by face value,
what he's saying after the game, how he's feeling, I
don't see as a leg to stand on anywhere on it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
No, and I think you're invoking of the WWE as
apt He's been a performer, right, whether it's on his
podcast saying provocative things, or on the court trying to
play head.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Games, get a get little physical.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
See if he can't get the retaliatory call right, because
that's what you always get the response. So if I
can get you, you know, off the block and knock you,
you know, with a little extra physicality, you might come
back with something that gets you a technical or gets
you tossed from a game.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Draymond Green, that's been since he was at Michigan State.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
That's been the guy he has been, and that's where
he's won on the margins and become, to my thinking,
one of the greats of these last twenty five years
that we're watching. Doesn't have to light up the scoreboard
and give you box score, checking checking all of that.
It's like he's a guy that affects games and affects
(12:43):
the mentality of opponents because maybe you're not coming into
the lane because you're fearing that you're gonna get bodied up,
and certainly you're gonna hear about it for the next
forty minutes thereafter. So it's it's one of those things.
It's his greatest strength. But in this case, I think
he did shout a little too loudly in a nonsensical way.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Exit. How about a Fresca exit, swollen dome Jason Smith,
Mike Carmon. Again, there is the possibility that Draymond has
a completely different reasoning for saying what he said, saying
what he did, which we'll get to coming up in
a bit. But right here off that again, he's not
right about any of this, not at all. Now, quick update,
how we started a few minutes ago, I said, no
(13:28):
way Edmonton doesn't win this game with dry Sidle and
McDavid on a five minute power play. Well, the five
minute power play has come and gone. No goal for
the Oilers. They came close to denting the back of
the net with just a couple of seconds left. In fact,
McDavid put his arms in the air, thought the puck
was in the net set Not so. The Golden Knights
(13:48):
and the Oilers play on tied four apiece, seven minutes
to go in overtime. I will keep you updated on
this game again. We'll have more on Draymond, but straight ahead,
we get back into what is, without a doubt, the
biggest story the day, both in sports and outside of it.
Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
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.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I am the man in the suitcase.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
We will get to the biggest story both in sports
and out of it from today in a second. But
I turned out to be right. I was just I
needed like eight minutes to be right.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Oh they did kill that penalty.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
They did.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
We'll always have that. Look.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
The night in sports is over Edmonton and Vegas. A
five minute major penalty was called on the Golden Knights
cross checking and clearly it was game misconduct. I said,
there's no way McDavid and dry settle, two best offensive
players in the NHL. They go five minutes, they don't
score a goal. They're gonna make it and this is
(15:00):
going to be an Oilers win. Now, the Golden Knights
kill off this five minute power play, which shock upon shocks.
But what did it take out of them because a
couple of minutes after it ended, just a couple minutes
before the end of overtime, Connor McDavid and dry Sidle
break in two on two and McDavid just puts a
(15:21):
move on the defenseman that was Hollywood and wolf Man
from from top Gun. Where do you go? Hollywood said,
where do you go? McDavid just jukes, and now it's
a two to on one. He makes a great pass
to dry Title out of the out of the u
the range of motion of the other defenseman stick dry
(15:42):
Sidle buries it and Edmonton beats the Golden Knights five
to four. Is the game. They now go back to
Edmonton up two games to none, much like the Knicks
their home up two games and none against the Celtics,
which is the whole reason for doing this, so I
could compare what the Oilers doing to what the Knicks
doing to the Celtics. There we go.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, you had a couple of rushes from from.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
The Knights where it's like, all right, even though it's.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Been a dominated obviously with the five minute power play
and and tired legs and and almost clearances, because there
there were a couple of the all right, we're gonna
get a chance to breathe.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
No, you're not.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Bucks coming right back in and you see the safe
sign from the referee and you can almost see the
spirit leave some of the Knights players. And then finally,
uh that that last rush man that McDavid move is
is one. I want to add that on a sport
Flix tree.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Spelled I E C H E L. I mean it's
I mean, it's it's not like, oh was that Jack
Eichel that he was something, Oh my god, because it
wasn't even like one of those dipsy doodle moves or
this is one of those quick I'm gonna get literally roadkill.
I'm gonna get you with my hips and I'm by you.
Oh I didn't know that was Jack Ikele. Oh wow, okay,
(17:02):
then I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
David all right, So it's just I haven't figured out
how justin.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
But I think you're right.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I mean, you don't think this is the NHL. Oh
my god, we gotta get this guy his first Stanley Cup.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I don't know about that really was just a little
bit of.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You think then I think the NHL wants the Oilers
in the Stanley Cup final.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Come on, they want to win one. Oh, of course
they do.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
But I like, did they really want Edmonton and the
fin mean, come on, man, you sure as hell don't
want the Kings back. They want Dallas in the final,
right you? And Nico Harrison wants Dallas in the final? Hey,
can you stop talking about our failures. Let's just talk
about another team in the playoffs doing well? Can we
do that? Thanks? There?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Have they cleaned the up yet from then?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I don't know, man, well, because so I couldn't tell
that that was ill. Oh my goodness, that's well. You know,
look Jack, I will not know for his defensive prowess.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Well, I like the O a kind.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Of uh stumping a half ass stick my stick towards
McDavid and maybe had glanced the fuck away.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I mean he made him look like a beer leaguer
he did.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I mean really, it's just one of those big, big
hip moves, all the the motion that he has, and
it was Echel was just done like it was just
I need to give you something quick because I got
to keep the play going. If I if I give
you too much of a move, then I'm gonna lose
the two on one. So it was a quick move.
With his hips to think I'm gonna go wide, I'm
coming back into the inside, and he kept the two
(18:37):
on one with dry title. I mean that the NBA man.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
He put him on a poster.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, McDavid went like this. I went like this. Hollywood said,
where did he go?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
That's the killer crossover. Good man, great googly moogli Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Meanwhile, the biggest story in sports and outside of sports
today comes to us courtesy of Mike Harmon, who was
not in Chicago for this reason, but as glad he
is there in the mobile Fox Sports Radio studios because
the new Pope, Pope Leo, was named today. The white
smoke came up and he is from Chicago. And again
I keep going back to the Watchman. Superman is here
(19:14):
and he is American. The Pope is named and he
is American. For the first time in two hundred and
sixty seven popes, we have an American pope and he's
from Chicago, and.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
He's a Socks fan, as verified by his brother in
an interview on WGN TV. So all things pointing up, Harmon,
I mean, I'm going rough shot. I am gonna bet
a parlay at Parlays. Wait, I probably shouldn't do that
while invoking the Pope. Should I all of that to
say that, you know, it's happy days for the Pope.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Here's what I think in my in game here, I'd
like to take that. I think that the Warriors are
gonna cover this right here because it's twenty five points
and they're down by twenty. So in game I'll take
the Warriors here, my son.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah, I'm not sure how.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I wow, you're really invoking the old Mike North bookie
priest to bet on a whole other level. I don't
know what the endgame betting was on this one. The
pregame was ten and a half. I'm sure it did
get out to twenty five twenty six.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
The Vatican check nicely calling.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
The Vatican for numbers. Hey, hello, this is the Vatican. Yeah, listen,
what's the over under for Jalen Brunson points in game three?
I saw twenty eight and a half could be long. Hey,
let me get the pope for you.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I had a twenty eight and a half, but this
guy's going crazy. He's gonna be up at thirty, so
you better get it now.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I'm gonna I sign virtually stepping back. Yeah, Adam my Son. Yeah,
you've been hitting up the old YouTube again chat. But
all of that to say, you're going to hell.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Come on, man, the pope is a Swiss, So what
grew up in the South side of Chicago's a white
he likes Wordle and the White Sox like okay, man,
all right.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, there were a bunch of rumors going around that
he was a Cubs fan, so that really got drew
the ire of of course they have all this, they
have all.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
That, like, no, no, no, no, one of us.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
You're on the cubs official account, tried to take credit for.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Screw Sandberg and Dawson and Sudcliffe and all those guys. Right,
I'm on the south Side with Perzinski and Kenerko and all. Yeah,
gimme black Jack McDowell, sure, give me, give me Britt Burns,
let me get some ron karkaeweis in here though, I'm
that's my team. Forget about the Cubs.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Bother them, little Floyd Banister while you're at it, dob
gerne Er, Bruce Soonter, forget about those guys. H Bolouzinsky
greater than Bold Durham.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Now to take it. You know the sports is.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Actually wait, on Durham. For those thinking I was invoking
the movie.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Uh, it was kind of a little bit like because
it came out in the second day that we found
out who the pope was. So it's kind of a
little bit like Draft Day, like the think they all
like you think, all the cardinals, they all pulled out
that piece of paper that said, uh, you know, Pope
Leo no matter what, like the Vonte mag no matter what,
Pope Leo.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
No.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Okay, poa, this is too And this is a very
quick Pope Leo anointing, like usually it goes at least
a few days before we get a new pope.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, I'm going back and find finding the history here one.
I mean, yes, it's fast. Normally you're looking at a
week process week w E e K. For those that
might might have thought other but talking about the betting
odds were pretty pretty hefty. Uh, there's a couple of
(22:39):
tickets and claiming that they came off a thousand dollars
bet with a sixty three thousand dollars profit.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
About that.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Just want to let you know how much money you
can make on this.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Here you go implied odds for fewer than two percent
probability or less than two percent probability that he would
be named pope.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
So you're talking about a huge.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Less than two really less than two percent. Well, and
this is why look for more movies like Conclave. It
turned out to be the right movie at the right
time because we got to see Hollywood is always at
its best in certain movies where they can tell you
the story about something that you have a little bit
(23:27):
of knowledge of but not a working knowledge of, right,
that's always a big sweet spot. Or I can tell
you about something in history that you kind of know
about but you don't really know about. And that's again,
that's such a sweet spot for Hollywood. And Conclave, which
honestly best movie the year last year until the last
twenty minutes, right, which we'll get to. But Conclaves showing
you this is the process in which the pope is
(23:50):
is a selected And yeah, were there dramatic licenses taken?
Sure there were, you know, I mean you, but the hey,
the movie was told here, we get in, we talk
about different people and know that there's there's a conversation, Hey,
I like this guy, you should like this guy more.
We can't allow this guy to be Pope this guy,
(24:12):
can't he have he would do X, Y and Z
with his influence, with the position, I would do this.
So it's very political, but it's religious, right, and no
one really knows. We know that, Okay, the cardinals go
in and they somehow select the pope. But seeing conclave
like that, the reason that movie cut through is because
this gave you a process which we kind of know about.
(24:32):
We know that there's a conclave and they go inside
and they come out and they selected a new pope.
But I think most of us have had the vision
that it's a bunch of you know, the cardinals sit
around and go, yes, this is a very good candidate. Yes,
my son, Yes he's also very good all all this, Yes,
what do you think? I think this and not the
case at all? Right, you watched Stanley Tucci. We can't
let Liftcal be the pope. He's gotta go be Dumbledore. No,
(24:53):
look kind of I'm not doing anything bad.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I'd want him.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
He loved Dumbledore in the Pope.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Stanley Tucci then gets mad and Ray decides, no, I
want to get some of this, even though I'm not
that guy. Like it was great to see that inner
workings of it because that plays into I think the
popularity of this selection of the New Pope now because
people got to see the movie. I'm sure there's a
big spike in the movie the last few days.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
There has been.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
It's been yeah, put on more platforms probably the last
two weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And I'm telling you, the last twenty minutes, it's like,
it's my Training Day rule, right. Training Day was one
of the top five movies I've seen in my life
until the last twenty minutes, where, uh, you really have
to do this, and you know, Denzel's got to have
his moment. And I'm like, boy, if you had ended
it with the bathtub scene and go, oh my god,
that's one of the top really top five.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Movie ever since, then, how would Jake shoot him in
the ass?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Well, we would have to deal without that, we'd have
to go without that.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
You can't do it without that.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
You could do it without that. Yeah, I mean, Denzel
his best performance. He's so incredibly good in this, but
now he's got to have a moment. We're telling the
story this way.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
It's like, uh, that scene ties it to get like
the Dude's rug and the Big.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Lebowski and the dude Hey the Big Lebowski leaves you
up in the air. Do they win? Do they make
the finals? I mean we need big Lebowski too to
find out what happened in the finals.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
You never make a number two when number one's a masterpiece.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I really hope they make the finals. But like the
way the Conclave went into the last the last twenty minutes,
going Okay, I get the messaging they were going for,
but okay, now we can talk about because the movie's
been out a while, Like, Okay, a guy that no
one even knew what his credentials were going in suddenly
now he's you know, he's the guy they select, like really,
And they do such a big job of outside of
(26:38):
showing you all these bad things that are happening outside
of the Conclave, right, like the the different bombings that
went off, and you're like, wow, what is happening outside
of this? And I'm so enraptured by this movie, And
then all we're going to get to me and I
get what they were going for. I understand it, right.
I think it's a positive message. I think it's a
great message they're going for, and about acceptance and and
(26:58):
and and the the Office of the Pope and going forward.
But wow, they set up this this entire nail biting,
you know, process, and to say, okay, we're now we're
just gonna go away from it, and hey, yeah this
is the selection. It kind of took me out of
the movie a little bit, right, and I felt like
the way the last twenty minutes sort of really took
away from that. Otherwise I would have said, clearly best
(27:21):
movie of the year last year, best movie of the year,
and one hundred percent. Instead the best movie was Jesse
Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I mean that was a pain had me from start
to finish.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
When I saw that, I said, that's the best movie
of the year. That's absolutely outstanding, top to bottom. Yes,
Kieran Culkin is playing the same character he's played in
succession other things, but he's doing it really, really well.
And again the sweet spots story of hey, we're touring
Poland and people know about Poland and you know, kind
of have a knowledge of what happened in World War
Two a little bit. But here's a tour of the
of the country and showing you what some of the
(27:54):
areas were like and what one of the concentration Camps
was like and it was heavy, and it was and
it was enrapturing, and like that's I mean, that's where
Hollywood gets into that sweet spot of it and that
that was you know, that wound up being the best movie.
The same thing with Conclave again except the last Jasons.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
If you don't get that twenty minute ending in Conclave,
you would have never gotten this. Hope Leo the fourteenth,
I mean, come on now.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
No, I like that. I wanted to see this way.
Play play the song, play there Amerson Lake and Palmer
song again, because this is what I wanted to say.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
Got hope Leo the fourteenth had Pope after thirteen others
had his name, a five nine cardinal from Peru.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Poe please, well, yeah, but he did in Peru. You
gotta kind of give his thing. Listen, there's many more
important people from Villanova in the news this week than
Pope Leo.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Also one of the Saint John's.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Pope Leo was like the fourth most important person from
Villanova in the news this week. Bruntson is number one,
Bridge is number two, Josh Hart is number three, Then
you have Pope Leo. Then fourth is last year's Dante DiVincenzo.
Not this year, last year's de Vincenzo. You got three
guys bigger than the this week already.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Leo the fourteenth, also invoking memories of the Grand Slam hitting.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Or I should say, the home run hitting Paul Canerko.
I mean, come on, we've got a statue for him.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Okay, no, you got a statue. But Villa, I mean Villanova.
You think, Okay, Brunson Bridge, you think about the commercial,
you think about Charlie Poothson Due, they're up to this
guy dope. Yeah, it's it's close. It's kind of a
big deal. It's a big deal. Yeah, but Knicks are
up to nothing. What's more shocking that we have a
new pope or the Knicks are up to zip? Nicks
up to zip.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
No that this guy was a sixty to one long shot.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
No, no, but you knew we were getting a pope,
like you knew them the announce. Yeah, but I mean
it was a lot quicker than Chicago guy White Sox.

defeating the Hurricanes three to one in their Game two.
The Timberwolves have even the series against the Warriors. One
seventeen to ninety three was the final score. Julius Randall

lit the world on fire with what he said following
the Warriors loss tonight. However, was it a little bit
deeper and did he have an ulterior motive in mind
(33:34):
when he said what he did? That's next Jason and
Mike Fox.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My Best
Friend Mike Harmon, who's getting set to have a white
smoke milkshake at the Chicago White Sox game tomorrow. I mean,
right away, a big white smoked milkshake. Get it like
it looks like his dry ice coming out of it,
and it's all a big white smoke shit.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Get ready, it's going to be a beautiful day.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
We get the day two of the Barrett Media Conference,
including you know, some early morning coffee runs and then
a nice long walk in the cold, and then off
we go.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Patent pending white smoke shake, patent pending, patent pending, patent pending.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Gotta have it.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
How would you make that? How would you execute that?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
It would be a milkshake and it would be with
vanilla ice cream, and I would have some way where
you would have it look like it was you know,
you'd have like the dry ice effect where it's coming
out of it. Yeah, that's how you do white smoke
whit white smoke shake.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Well, because you know, that is the last couple of
years where the White Sox have hung their proverbial hat
on the greatness of the milkshake offerings.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I mean, White White Sox. White smoke Pope is from Chicago,
White Sox fan patent pending, like I can make all
kinds of money, just like getting three percent from whatever
the White Sox do at.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yeah, because last last year's was the campfire milkshake that
had everybody excited, basically some'mores in a glass. This one
is uh, oh what do they call him?
Speaker 4 (35:13):
This one?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I don't even know what the name of it is.
It just looks like a giant pinwheel.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
That milkshake only brings one hundred people to the yard.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
And you know what, tomorrow is a Harry Potter night,
so there will be people.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
So Jason, you're going, oh, absolutely, yes, I'm dressing his Dumbledore.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
You know, I had just celebration cake shake, by the way,
the celebration cake shake.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
So we talked about Draymond Green and his incendiary comments
following the Warriors lost tonight to the Timberwolves. Gets another
technical foul, Steve Kerr takes him out of the game
before he can get another one because he's only a
couple away from a mandatory suspension, which you know, Steve
Kurt doesn't want to play a game without Draymond Green
in the playoffs. Draymond not happy and said this following
(36:00):
the game tonight. This is the entirety of Draymond Green's
postgame press conference. This is all you're gonna hear. He
said this, and he walked away, and suddenly now we
are dealing with a lot of fallout from it. Now.
Earlier in the show, we talked about how dream and look.
I disagree with everything Draymond says about this. He's turning
himself into a victim. However, there is a different side
(36:22):
of this that I want to open the possibility to.
So listen to Draymond first, and then you hear my
second take.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
Look like the angry black man.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
I'm not an angry black man.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
I'm a very successful, educated black man with a great family,
and I'm great at basketball.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
I'm great at what I do.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
To The agenda to try to keep making me look
like an angry black man is crazy.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I'm sick of it. Is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Okay, he has no leg to stand on. No one's
saying anything about his family, about his talent, about his success.
No one has an agenda against him. Hear emotions run
out of control. You court this, you yell at the officials.
You've been a borderline dirty player. Since you came into
the league. It's what makes you who you are and
what makes you a great basketball player. Now that being said,
(37:08):
Draymond Green is really smart, and coming off this game,
all of a sudden, the Warriors have lost momentum. They
were up one zip coming into Game two, and they
lose Pillar at a post right. Game was never close.
They're not going to have Steph Curry for at least
the next couple of games. And Draymond Green's okay, how
do I help my team out here? Number one? I
(37:30):
say something like this, and this becomes the topic of
conversation next couple of days. My teammates don't have to
worry about answering questions about how do you play without Steph?
How do you get back into this? What do you
think about? How can you guard? And Edwards? How is all?
And you don't get any of it? And it's all
about Draymond. Draymond's got big shoulders. I can handle this controversy,
and I take the pressure off of my teammates kind
(37:52):
of like when you see a head coach say a
lot of things in a postgame press conference, because that
makes the storyline about him and the players can kind
of Rea group. Also, Draymond knows if I say this,
I'm only two fouls away from getting a big time
suspension which is gonna cost me and probably cost my
team the series. So I say this and put this
(38:13):
out there, and I make the officials scared to give
me another tee or call another flagrant on me because
they know you do this. And I'm telling you, you're
feeding into a narrative that is unfair and gonna put
me out of the playoffs. I dare you to call
these fouls on me now that I've put this narrative
out there, hoping that the officials will sit there and say, ooh,
(38:35):
that could have been over the line. No common foul
on here. I'm not gonna whistle you for the flagrant,
not gonna get you one closer to a suspension, not
going to give you a tea here because you put
this out there now, I'm a little scared, little gun
shy of calling that kind of foul on you. I
will absolutely throw it out there that this is what
Draymond Green is trying to accomplish with what he said
after the game, simply because you take that at face
(38:57):
value and it doesn't make any sense and he has
no life to stand on.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Well, I was gonna say, Jordan Poole's head neck area
would disagree, sure, not being angry, and you wouldn't like
me when I'm angry.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
All of that For Draymond Green, you know, I can't
tell you how to feel, and he's gonna use it.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
As an angle.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
We had Mike out in Jacksonville throughout the Well, some
of it is Dennis Rodman like tactics. Right, I'm gonna
get in your head. I'm gonna see where I can
push the boundary. We were just watching some hockey go
back to the greats like Darius Casparitis, who would do
everything to goad you into dropping the gloves and getting
after it, and you were always the more important player
(39:39):
on the ice to be lost for the five. So
all of that I mean for Draymond calculated. Yeah, this case,
I wish he would have chosen his words and created
a different narrative. But if he wanted to go to
the extreme and get the reaction, he's certainly gonna earn
it over this next twenty four to forty eight hours
(40:00):
and we'll see how the Warriors respond.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
When next on the court.
