(00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Fox Sports Radio The
Jason Smith Show with My big friend Mike Harmon. Oh,
Celtics win big in the NBA. But I want to
bring in Steve to Sager here for a second, Mike Harmon,
because he was very upset at the end of the

(00:44):
Magic Johnson Twitter game, and I want to just explain
something a little bit because it's it's a thing here.
You're not gonna have to explain Magic Johnson. Oh no, oh,
oh my god. I hope not. I hope I have
to do that. But no, but he was he slayed
this game before he has he has. But he was
really upset at the end of the Magic shots and

(01:05):
Twitter game because he felt that the tweets were incorrect
and when they when they turned out to be tweets
that were from Magic Johnson. Steve was upset that they
were kind of incorrect tweets from Magic Johnson. But the
Magic Johnson Twitter game is not trying to figure out
the truth and what that was? This flaws and all

(01:30):
was this magic tweet? Somebody who purports to be an expert,
I mean, he's been a general manager in the NBA
says somebody held somebody to about thirty points on the
night where his whole team in Miami didn't even play
the fourth quarter. He still had twenty nine points, but
he got he got held to twenty nine. I guess

(01:52):
see this is where I actually like this because now
I know I can put flaws into the ones I
make up and you may fall four. Don't need to
be right all the time. I could be wrong. Or
maybe we've all learned our lesson after this tonight. I
don't know. Do you think there's not going to be
any more incorrect tweets for Magic Johnson? We just know
Magic was a loser as a GM. He's a loser
as a tweeter. Yeah, what he needs to do one

(02:19):
or two more one liners, you could really go over
the top. He needs to quit Twitter, like he quit
the Lakers. Don't tell Jeni, just tell the media and
one fell swoop and you're done. Mr r Wow, Steve
has really fired up about the incorrectness and Magic Johnson

(02:42):
we got, yeah, but we gotta go in like how
many of those points were scored on other opponents? Yeah,
exactly what Stevens upset is with Magic Johnson tweeting out
great stuff about Marcus Smart saying that Marcus Smart's defense
on Jimmy Butler was also outstanding, and Jimmy Butler still
scored thirty points in about three quarters worth of work.

(03:03):
That's the number one thing you're upset about. Yeah, I'm
like facts, that's what we're upset about. The other one,
the other one is that the Celtics, you know, to
giving them credit, how the well they played defensively, they
held the Miami Heat, a great three point shooting team,
to only thirty percent from behind the ark. And and
that is a disagreeable point as well. Yeah, great three
point shooting team. Really, I mean a couple of years ago.

(03:26):
Duncan Robinson, sure, but as you've mentioned, we we haven't
largely seen him. But as far as Rance, don't even
get me started, because I haven't even brought up the
ESPN p g A coverage today because for forty five minutes,
they showed only the leaderboard scores, just the top five,
sometimes the top ten plus Tiger Woods group and that
was it. It took forty five minutes for him to
show a graphic with most of the rest of the leaderboard,

(03:49):
that is everyone at even par or better. Can you
imagine an NFL telecast or college football going forty five
minutes without giving scores of other games. This is a
major I remember whether you remember the ten minute ticker,
and I remember looking at the clock, here's our ten
minute ticker, and before they gave you scores all the time,
and it was here's and it would give you scores

(04:10):
from around the league. I remember looking at mclock. Okay,
it's at three one, we're gonna get and then three comes,
we don't get the ticker. Go where's a ten minute ticker?
What are the Dolphins doing? What are the dolphins? Here's
your ten minute ten Then the game is over. It's like, oh,
there are names out there. And it took them even
longer to even mention whether brooks Kepka was even on

(04:33):
the course. It was ridiculous periodically. How about just add
the scores of other players across the bottom of the screen.
It is an easy fixes, get with it. I think
they were trying to tell you that their television coverage
was the second screen experience, and that you really should
have been following the leaderboard on your app. In other words,
what are we doing paying for rights? We're making you,

(04:56):
the people that aren't getting paid to watch, do all
the work. Thanks a lot. You have two channels of
coverage on the stupid thing. Maybe somebody that's not in
the top five. You don't have to show this shore.
Steve one was the man in cast, and you know
they don't pay any attention to what's going on on
the course. Okay, tight trick. Go in there and give

(05:18):
Steve a hug for us. Okay, okay, all right, thank you. Steve.
Out of the vending machine on me. I I don't know.
It's run out of granola bars. He's mad at Magic Johnson,
He's mad at the tour, mad at everybody like you,
like you. The tour is a bunch of goofballs. Anyway,

(05:40):
it's ESPN that we're mad at their coverage of THEGN
All right, thank you Stevo level stuff right there? How
do you top That's? That's who was angrier than angry
Steve to Seger, Oh no, I can? I can? I
can top that? In the second here speak of the
PG eight tour with prices sore and at the discovers,

(06:00):
got your back with cash back us discovered or earned
five percent cash back at gas stations and target now
through June on up to fift and purchases when you
activate learn more discovered dot com slash rewards limitations they
do apply. Well, here's where I I get you back
with this because now you know someone's gonna turn this
into the John Daily Challenge, right like, can you do this?

(06:22):
Will Brinson, who covers the NFL other sports for CBS,
spent a day following John Daily around a day ago
before the first round of the PGA Championship, which, of
course you know lifetime extension is Daily burst onto the scene,
grip and Rip winning the p g A Championship for
his first major back in the nineties. So he puts
out a tweets and this is this is easy. The

(06:43):
best part of Day one of the p g A
Tour of the PGA Championship is that he said in
the course of an entire round, he followed John Daily around,
was with him from hole one through hole eighteen. Here
is everything John Daily put into his body for those
eighteen holes. You're ready, Okay, let's go here because this

(07:03):
is gonna want to be in the John Daily Challenge. Uh.
He smoked twenty one cigarettes. That's a pack plus one. Right, Well,
that's also one a hole in a little bit more
like every six holes you're having a second one. Well,
that's that's impressive. I mean the lung capacity maybe diminished,

(07:28):
but still finishing off twenty one salute on a round
that's up at it's one per hole and then every
every six holes you're like, maybe I I light one
up before, Like maybe because it's a long par five,
So I finished this one in the par five I
have to maybe that's what it was, a three par fives.

(07:49):
He had two cigarettes. He's got it parsed out that way.
Here's my first whole cigarette. Second this is par five.
That's a two cigarette holes. Well, but that's the question, right,
is he is he more a stress? So at the
the efficiency and the rate at which he smokes and
and and works on it is when he's having a
bad hole or is it a celebratory you know, like

(08:12):
after well, some good loving dude. I think, Wow. No,
I think if you're smoking twenty one cigarettes and a
round a gulf, it doesn't matter what the round is.
It could be the greatest round in the world. It
could be the worst round. You're still lightening up, man,
You're still you're still chaining it up from from butt
going here and another and another and another, and now

(08:32):
I think you're doing it no matter what the no
matter what you're The situation on the course is so
twenty one cigarettes, but that's not all. Like if that
was all that, that's a twenty one cigarettes six bags
of peanut Eminem's six bags. Now I don't know how
big the bags are. This is something. This is shables

(08:54):
are they like was it a big one that you
like the party pack or was it like when you
get the individual pack, because there's not that many because
the peanut m and m's are big as you know,
so they're not that many. So if he's eating the
small packs of six packs of Eminem's, like, okay, I
can see that. But if it's like the big party pack,
that then then we got something well. I mean, either way,

(09:15):
that is still a considerable amount of calories and sugar
intake over the course of a round. Um. Yeah, I'm
a little concerned there because also the choking hazards, because
you're already diminished capacity because of all the long dark
I don't not smowing. I don't think he's putting an

(09:36):
eminem in his mouth. They're taking a big track. But
I mean, but I mean, we know the danger of
peanut shells and whatever else. I'm not I'm not talking allergy.
I'm just saying, you know, sometimes the peanut M and
M will crack differently as as you chew, and all
of a sudden you might have an issue taking a puff,

(09:59):
leaving the smoke in my mouth. That was smoke ring
throw throwing the M and M. Man, Yeah, I'm just
gonna I'm gonna party like that because that's how I go. Okay,
so you have that. Now we're not done. We're not done.
But wait, there's more. Oh yeah, there's more. Uh twelve
diet cokes. Oh one not to that's two, three four,

(10:22):
that's one every other that's one every other whole a
little bit more than one every other hole. Twelve diet cokes.
Pretty impressive. I mean it's one every hole and a half. Now,
if they're cans, cans are kind of small, bottles would

(10:42):
be a little bit more impressive. I mean, look, diet
coke is much better out of a bottle than that.
Look as also does. Everything is better out of a
bottle than that of a can because it stays freshly,
put the top on and everything else. But twelve diet cokes.
I mean, that's that's pretty good. That's that's an impressive. Man.
He shows up, he's got his golf bag and in
a case case well back and uh, and that's that's

(11:10):
next level. I mean, look at your worst I think
around here, you weren't even near to a third of that.
Oh well, hang on, well, I mean, I you've talked
about you in the old Ben Mallard days. You two
were teamed up together, destructive nous over at the local,
at the liquor store or the gas station, depending you

(11:34):
were fighting with on a given given week. We kept
that why did you asking me if I need a bag? Man?
They kept having to order Hostess cupcakes just because of us. Yeah,
it was great. Uh. And the last thing was zero
point zero ounces of water. Didn't what drink of water?
The entire run that one, that's a dehydration situation happening.

(11:56):
I would feel dizzy by like the trouble going I
didn't No, Can I just keep crinking the diet coke?
Just keep chugging the diet coke. You're gonna be good.
Uh So this is what John Daily did? Now could
I match this? And I'm not don't do this. I'm
just trying to think for myself. And if you've already

(12:16):
exceeded this with some other things substituted for what Daily does,
please let us know at how about a fresca at swollen?
Don't no question about it? And absolutely don't smoke, don't
ever ever smoke? Uh Cigarettes. I couldn't even make it
to one. So there's no way I could do the
John Dayless John Daily Radio in your mind only, in

(12:36):
your mind only challenge, No way. I couldn't even make
it to one. There's no way, So I would fail
right there now the rest of it? Could I do
six bags of peanut eminem's. They are not my thing? Alright,
Peanut eminem's. I like regular eminem's more, peanut eminem's are
not my thing. But I think over eighteen holes, if
they're the just the regular bags, yeah, I could do

(12:58):
the peanut Eminem's end. I could do the diet cokes.
I think I could do the diet cokes so much
easier than I expect, than you'd expect, especially if they
were cans. If they were cans, man, I could I
could have that done by whole fifteen going gotta get
into the next twelve pack, because cans are not that much.
Not that much, man, I could do. I could do
one per hole and do that now the bottles a
little bit more, but still I think I could do

(13:21):
that and no water. Yeah, my body would be crying
out for it, but I would think in my mind, well,
I got the diet coax and there's water in the
diet coke. I'm fine. So yeah, I think most of
that I could do if I wanted to. I could
suck it up with the M and m's. The diet
cokes are easy. The no water look and none of
this is healthy, which is why you shouldn't try it.
But this this is something where I could get part

(13:41):
of the way on those two things. The Peter Eminem's
I could do the diet cokes and no water cigarettes.
No way, that's it. No, No, no cigarettes for me.
That was part of the upbringing. Uh. Mom and pop
smoked quite a bit, so that Uh that was always
on the clothes. And yeah, no, it's not good for business,
there's no question about that. Just going to the M

(14:02):
and ms, I mean, substitute your favorite candy of choice.
Oh no, If I can substitute my favorite candy a choice,
and I can, I can blitz to that. No, no, no,
but buttercups forget it. Man. But that's the whole point.
It's it's about preference, that's right. So here we go.
Snack pack bag of peanut M and m's is ninety
calories according to the good old inner webs, which I

(14:24):
think is BS. No, No, that's a snack pack. That's
a small one. That's not the regular peck sharable is
only a hundred and sixty, which again I think is
I I don't know. I think I got some bad information.
But either way, they're small and you can turn through
those pretty fair. No, but a snack pack is real.
That's the small square. I think the regular one that
you just said, the sharables, that's the regular size that

(14:44):
you buy in the store. I think that's the regular size.
The small ones is just like the square there's maybe
like you know, four M and m's in there. You
know that that's all that is. That's that is. Yeah,
that's not that's not good for business. So, I mean,
I found some new snacks over at the A Smart
and Final. I'll do those to you offline because I
think there's some value to be hading those and those

(15:05):
have now become the go to lunch shoving the bag
kind of things. But uh, yeah, no, when I got no,
but I gotta ask you need you need, you need
to tell this that if I want to substate, don't
want to substitute Reese's peanut buttercups because that's my favorite. Right,
So what what's the what's the Reese's Peanut butter cup
equivalent of six bags of peanut eminems? What would you
say it was? Knowing that this is the normal the

(15:27):
two Reese's Peanut buttercups per package? Oh, I think you go.
I mean I think the ratio could be maybe four
of those. Oh that's it. I could do that one hole.
But that's the thing is that you're like four of
those packs, because because you're looking at you know, a
whole peanut butter patties versus four M and M's whatever
would be in a small bag eight Reese's peanut buttercups.

(15:48):
Yeah I could. That's that's like, that's not even a challenge.
That's not even a challenge, man. No, that's that's easy.
No, no no, but that's the thing, you know, as gifts.
I I sometimes will will give out the half pound
ones when they're available, you know, stuff very I'll just
make sure to drop one off at your front porch. Oh, oh,
thank you, buddy, I appreciate that. And then I'll just
make one of those beautiful peanut butter pies once I

(16:11):
get used to my other hand, because right now, trying
to bake with one hand, I don't know how well
that's gonna go peanut butter. So there it is the
unofficial in your head only John Daily. Yeah, do not
try this at home, man, And I know many people
are going. I do that with twelve mirrors every Friday.
And the guy played golf. He didn't just I mean,

(16:31):
and the guy actually played and just sit in the
cart in the whole time. No, I'm gonna play and
do all this. Yeah, I have no doubt. Plenty of
folks are thinking, yeah, I do that with shots of
my eyes would start doing the googly eyes and they'd
start seeing things. By the time I got to like
the ninth thought, I mean, I would suck it up
and do it. I would play terribly, but wow, a witch,

(16:54):
I think he's I don't think he's feeling good. Now,
he's got three more diet cokes to go. You just
let him finish. Let's let him finish this, see what
it goes. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern,

Slash rewards limitations they do apply. Well. It's not often
we get players retiring during the show, but this was

(17:37):
broken by New York Post John Hayman reporting earlier tonight
just about an hour or so ago, Joe Panic retiring
from Major League baseball after an eight year career that
saw him in the World Series with the San Francisco Giants.
When the guy came up, he was terrific. He was
a guy I thought was gonna be one of those

(17:58):
two whole hitters that was gonna play shortstop second base
for you were higher for a decade, and he was
gonna hit. He was gonna hit like ten home runs
a year, knock in like sixty runs and at three
hundred every single year. Clutch hits all the way through.
But then you know, once once after his first couple
of years, he never quite hit the way he did
in the beginning when he first came up. But he

(18:19):
got injured a bit. Uh. He had a good run
of the Mets a couple of years ago, you know,
hitting two eighty when they picked him up after the
Giants waved him. But at thirty one years old, Joe
Panic deciding to retire, gonna spend time with his family,
just had a kid a few months ago, and he's
walking away from the game at thirty one. Let's see,
last year played in Toronto and in Miami. Uh bat

(18:41):
at one seventy two, joining Miami in fifty three games. Uh,
no major league appearances this year. So the wave and
just say, hey, HiT's the final. Uh no, not not
a bad run, right, Still will always have some postseason
glory on the resume. Uh the kind words. I'm sure
the freezing cold take No, they don't. Won't do it

(19:03):
for Joe panic. But but yeah, I look, at some point,
everybody gets retired by the game, and and part of
it is decide. I like when guys can have that decision, right,
because you can keep toiling in the minors, hoping for
an injury or an opportunity or something to open up

(19:23):
to get one last shot. But sometimes it's hey, next
phase of life start beginning. Uh, whatever you're gonna do, coaching,
scouting or options, see some other career I haven't even
thought of yet. You know. I think most players when
they come up to the majors and he said, Okay,
what do you want to accomplish in your career? Like,
what do you want to do outside of saying oh,

(19:45):
I want to be I want to go to the
Hall of Fame, I want to hit seven runs, And say, okay,
what do you want to accomplish that you think could
be realistic for you and have the confidence in yourself.
And I think everybody would say I want to play
every day, right, I want to play every day. You
want to make money, sure, but you want to say
I want to play every day. I want to make
an All Star team, I want to win a World Series.

(20:07):
And Joe Panic was an everyday player. He made an
All Star team, he won the World Series. I mean,
it's okay, Well, what else can you really say? Oh man,
I didn't. Yeah, you're always going to have some kind
of tiny regrets. But I started, made the All Star team,
I won the World Series. Uh, that that's a career
at thirty one. He did it all in thirty one.
He said, I'm ready for what's next. Uh, good luck

(20:30):
with what's next, Joe Panic, And hey, good luck to
Max Scherzer, who is now out for two months because
the Mets can't have nice things. Really took the sting
out of that Peter Lonzo walk off today, although I
gotta say it was better to have the walk off
and sure as are getting hurt than not have the
walk off. But it's only May. Buddy, buddy, we buddy,
we haven't had to grab yet. Now we're not gonna

(20:52):
have to grow this six day weeks. Well, listen, if
you were really my best friends, since you're recuperating from
from risk surgery anyway, and you're gonna be laid up
for a while, I need you to donate your oblique,
your left oblique to Max Schervis. We can get right
back out on the mound. He's got a left oblique injury.

(21:14):
It's gonna keep him out for about six to eight weeks.
Donate your left oblique. You can rehab it and sit
down and do nothing for the next couple of months
while you're rehabing your wrist as well. And you don't
need your left oblique. Sures are needs a left oblique.
I'm gonna come to your house, get it from you,
put it in a cooler, dry I send it to
the Mets and they will give him your oblique and

(21:35):
at some point you'll get his oblique. No, that's fine,
I'm okay with that. Okay, it would be a game
used to bleak that I would get in return. So
there's could be an n f T oblique, that's right.
I don't know that you could sell human cells like
that although people sell up, you know, have hair follicles
all of ye, that's different, different encasing. Probably have to

(21:58):
have some labeling for hazardous materials and all. Oh yeah, yeah,
want you want the warnings out there? Yeah, there's no
question about it. But yeah, to help in your processing.
I would love that. Sure? Why not? All right, well,
because that if it's kind of making you feel better
better listen and and and you know, and I know
you can't disagree with me. Max Scherzer needs as oblique

(22:21):
more than you do. Categorically untrue because I'm still out
like doing stuff like knock would I'm still out to
do it, like you're gonna be rehabbing. You know, you're risting,
so you're not going to be as active over the
course to the No, no no, no, I'm still out walking
a bunch. I mean, I can't, you know, go pop
iron and stuff, which really off because I was starting

(22:42):
to get in pretty good shape. I was ready for
you know, hot guy summer or whatever the hell they
call it. Summer? Is that it wait, I don't know.
It was a tight shirt is hot guy summer? It's
it's actually hot girl summer. I was trying to take
it from my own and make it all about me.
But and then I and then I had this accent.
So I can't lift, So that sucks. But I could

(23:04):
still work bad Zilla and and ask Tastic for the summer. Okay,
but but you really don't really can can engage my obliques? No?
But but I need it more. Listen, I'm still coaching.
I'm still coaching soccer and coaching softball. I need my
obliques or i'd give mine to max Us or No,
I mean they could roll you up on a Hannibal
electric thing. No, I gotta I gotta go out and

(23:26):
make pitching changes. I gotta get up and down the field,
and I gotta listen. I I would ask my dad,
but he would be upset on general principle. He's not
going to give an oblique to a met player because
he's a Yankee fan. So I gotta ask you, was
my best friend, if you would do that for me,
you know what, for the short term success, and it
would make show content for years? Yeah? Why not? Alright? Good?

(23:47):
Because I'm sure there's a medical Marvels too. Yeah, there's
a doc Nick Riberia just around the bend. Hey, everybody,
I'm sure you got I mean, I don't know if
you could take out an oblique you know, ty shirt
might know this, ty Shirt? Can you take out an
oblique and and and do an oblique switchero? Yeah, give
me fifteen minutes. We can make it happen. I got
a guy I'm gonna be hey, let me take a selfie.

(24:09):
I'm lying next to Max Scherzer. You know this, This
is research and thumbs up hashtage hot boys, summer, hot guys,
summer whatever did wow? You made it hot boys? So whatever?
You guys are lunatics. Isn't that the uh what it's
all about. I don't know to take fringe right now,

(24:32):
but you both you're suggesting that I'm having a surgery
to take Max Scherzer's a bleak and all of a
sudden because it goes down this suddenly it's weird and wrong.
What the hell is wrong with you? You? You were
the Hey, I listen, I threw out something that I
think probably happens anyway. There's probably oblique change surgery site.
You just said it right there. Yeah, there's a lot

(24:54):
of things that people do. Doesn't mean it's a legal,
FDA approved proper I mean, you adjust a lot of stuff. Men,
go back to the John Daily diet. Well, was that
problematic in enough itself? No? Well everything, Doug, damn Yes,
that is very probably one cigarettes, twelve diet coaches, six
bags of M and ms in one round of golf.

(25:14):

few months, and its combined with Jimmy Garoppolo. Is Jimmy
Garoppolo gonna get traded? What's happening? Sure, but slowly? Reports
about Trey Lance that have come out over the past

(26:39):
few months are not real flattering, and the latest comes
from Uh said today on CBS Sports that after people
he's talked to, everyone I've spoken to, expects Jimmy Garoppolo
to start Week one this season against the Bears. Quote,
Trey Lance is really leaving a lot to be desired
in terms of the fitness of his arm, whether or

(27:01):
not he can digest the playbook, and can he really
start to process the game at a high level. So
you got the forty Niners on one hand, want to
keep telling is everything is fine, Tray is great, You're
always moving along. Everything is great. He's gonna be our guy.
And then we get reports every month or so that
you know, boy, maybe tray Lance is a bust, right maybe?
I mean you had the Adam Schefter pro forty Niners

(27:22):
report a few months ago that, uh, you know, people
didn't realize the tray Lance was far behind when he
was drafted. Um. Sorry, at this point, I'm gonna believe
where there's smoke, there's fire, because if Trey Lance really
was good and he wasn't a bust, then he would
be the starting quarterback of the forty Niners. There wouldn't
be a question, and Jimmy Garoppolo, even with his injured shoulder,

(27:45):
would be on another team. Somebody would have called, yes,
let's make the move. We'll bring him in, we'll look
at his shoulder, it's healing well enough for us, he's
ready to play. Will make that trade the Steelers, the Panthers,
somebody else would have done it. But here's now the
fact that Niners are holding onto Jimmy Roppolo and they
want to make it play like, oh, well, you know, yeah,
Trey is still our guy. Um. Bottom line is that

(28:06):
if Trey Lance really was the guy and he wasn't
a bust, he'd be the starting quarterback. But now you're
talking about going into year two in the NFL, and
he may not wind up being the guy because we
hear all of these reports. Yeah, I'm gonna believe that
right now. And the Niners, eventually, you're gonna have to
wear the fact that they moved up to draft a
guy at number three who may not be any good.
I mean, these are these concerns of not having your

(28:30):
arm fitness, which is not staying in shape and able
to throw the football for a whole season. That's what
arm fitness is. We don't know the guy can throw
the football well for seventeen weeks. That's a big deal.
Digesting the playbook. You gotta digest the playbook, process the
game at a high level. If you can't, you're out.
These are huge concerns. This is not hey, maybe he
needs a little bit more time. He didn't come from
a sophisticated offense. This is like boilerplate stuff that if

(28:52):
you can't do, man, you can't play in the league. Well,
because that's the thing. As Harris started being called to
task for some of those comments, he took back to
Twitter and to go and here's how I define everything
that I said, and I stand by it. And so
there's a lot of smoke, uh coming around this. So
I'm wondering if there's folks in the organization that just
want to distance themselves, so telling everybody you know off

(29:15):
the record, going look, man, I was not on board
with this, all the draft capital and everything to move up.
Otherwise it's you know, the front office just saying here's
here's where we're at on it now without getting in
front of a microphone so that the expectations are lowered.
I don't know. Uh, it's it's a difficult situation because

(29:35):
you got a talented roster, some moves that you need
to make financially, you need to figure things out with debo,
and you're gonna have to figure out Bosa and whatever
else here in short order. But for for Trey Lance,
we saw a very small sample size, like minuscule as
to what he could be. But the a number of

(29:56):
these reports, Uh, it's a cacophony, loud voices, dissonance, craziness,
Twitter it out about a Fresca Mike and swollen dome.
